IMPACTS OF SMALL WATER BODIES ON THE HYDROLOGICAL RESPONSE OF SMALL AGRICULTURAL WATERSHEDS

Longbucco, Nicholas James 01 December 2010 (has links)
There are an estimated 2.6 million small water bodies in the contiguous United States. These features are mostly manmade representing a major source of land use change. Compared to larger reservoirs, the impacts of small water bodies on watershed hydrology are not well understood and were the main focus of this research. Using three sets of streamflow parameters, the hydrological impacts of small water bodies were evaluated in 29 watersheds of the Midwest. This relationship was evaluated with four other geophysical watershed traits, and variations in the relationships were examined across three regions of the study area. Of the six geophysical watershed traits examined, results indicate that a watershed's percent area of small water bodies was the strongest predictor of high flow coefficients. This relationship was positive and statistically significant with a distinct regional relationship in Eastern Iowa. Time of concentration and watershed area were significant predictors of low flow coefficients. Time of concentration was also a significant predictor of the rainfall-runoff ratios. The distinct positive relationship between small water bodies and high flow coefficients, and insignificant relationships with runoff ratios are unexpected and intriguing findings, representing possible opportunities for future investigations.

Between Animals and Angels: Rethinking Extracategorical Bodies in Medieval Literature

Henson, Chelsea, Henson, Chelsea January 2012 (has links)
Medieval bodies often push against easy categorization. Hybrids, saints, giants, and transformative bodies are represented in literature as falling between or occupying multiple taxonomic hierarchical positions of divine, human, or animal. / 10000-01-01

No. of bitstreams: 1 TESE AXEL.pdf: 13901759 bytes, checksum: 6f744b4d3c67d9fcc80db57c1c5944a7 (MD5) / Messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) são complexos formados por RNA mensageiro (mRNA) e um pool de diferentes proteínas que se ligam diretamente ou indiretamente ao mRNA. Proteínas diferentes podem formar diferentes mRNPs com diferentes funções. Agregação de mRNPs formam grânulos que são visíveis ao microscópio. Dois desses grânulos comumente encontrados em células eucarióticas são os processing bodies (PB) e os grânulos de estresse (GE) possuem função fundamental na regulação pós-transcricional, mais especificamente, na degradação (PB) e na estocagem (PB e GE) do mRNA. Enquanto os PB são constitutivamente encontrados, GE são vistos somente em condições de estresse. TTP e RCK são componentes presentes em ambos os grânulos enquanto que TIA1 e TIAR são exclusivos de GE e DCP2 exclusivo de PB. Human Adipocyte Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) são células-tronco adultas multipotentes com capacidade de autorrenovação e diferenciação em células de diversos tecidos. Desde que pouco se sabe sobre a função dos PB e dos GE durante a diferenciação das células-tronco, nosso objetivo é elucidar a dinâmica e função desses grânulos nestas celulas. Foram utilizadas ADSCs derivadas de cirurgia bariátrica e lipoaspiração. Diversos componentes de PB e de GE foram analisados por Imunofluorescência após 1, 4, 7 e 12 dias de diferenciação adipogênica. Oligos de RNA de interferência (siRNA) específicos para RCK, DCP2, TTP, TIAR e TIA1 foram transfectados concomitantemente com a indução à diferenciação adipogênica e as culturas mantidas por 1, 4, 7 e 14 dias de diferenciação. A diferenciação foi mensurada por intensidade de fluorescência após marcação com AdipoRed. GE são ausentes em ADSCs indiferenciadas e durante a diferenciação como determinado por imunomarcação com TIAR que se localiza predominantemente no núcleo. Interessantemente imunomarcação com TIA1/R mostrou que ADSCs possuem grande quantidade de grânulos contendo TIA1/R em células indiferenciadas e não estressadas. Sob estresse oxidativo há um aumento de PB em ADSCs e a formação de GE. Esses grânulos parecem variar de composição, uma vez que eIF4E é ausente e GE imunomarcados com eIF4B são mais perinucleares do que GE imunomarcados com TIAR. PB variam em número e tamanho em células diferenciadas. Notavelmente, em ADSCs possuem poucos PB e até mesmo ausente em algumas células, além disso, TIA1/R e PB significativamente aumentam após 24 horas de diferenciação e após 12 dias o número de PB é similar a células diferenciadas enquanto que os grânulos de TIA1/R praticamente desaparecem. siRNA de componentes essenciais de PB e GE em ADSCs indiferenciadas (tempo 0) mostrou que há um aumento significativo na diferenciação em adipócito após 4, 7 e 12 dias de diferenciação adipogênica. Interessantemente esse aumento se deu pela maturação do adipócito, i.e. tamanho da vesícula de lipídio e não pelo aumento da quantidade de células diferenciadas. Nossos dados mostram que PB estão em baixo número e que existem grânulos de TIA1/R citoplasmárico nunca antes mostrados em ADSCs indiferenciadas. Ainda, esses grânulos aumentam durante a diferenciação e parecem exercer um papel importante na maturação dos adipócitos uma vez que ensaios de siRNA de componentes de PB e GE levam a uma diferenciação mais acelerada. Também, os GE são formados após indução a estresse oxidativo e esses grânulos são praticamente ausentes de eIF4E mostrando que a composição desses grânulos varia em relação a células diferenciadas.

Habitantes da cibercultura : corpos 'gordos' nos contemporâneos modos de produzir a si e aos 'outros'

Camozzato, Viviane Castro January 2007 (has links)
O que estamos fazendo de nós mesmos?” é uma inquietação nietzschiana que percorre o decorrer desse estudo. Tal inquietação leva‐me a construir uma trajetória de pesquisa em que a tônica está em almejar compreender – a partir da perspectiva dos Estudos Culturais pós‐estruturalistas – como está se dando, contemporaneamente, a produção de si e dos ‘outros’ numa cultura tão marcada por discursos relacionados aos corpos. Para operacionalizar esse estudo o corpus refere‐se a comunidades do orkut, mais especificamente as comunidades Eu odeio gordas, Eu odeio gordas que se acham e No Food, assim como blogs presentes no ciberespaço que possam contribuir nas argumentações. A escolha de tal corpus deve‐se pelas peculiaridades da internet, as quais propiciam que sujeitos expressem mais abertamente coisas sobre si e sobre os outros. As discussões referem‐se, então, sobre: a) produções de si que, conectadas a discursos que envolvem normalizações corporais contemporâneas, envolvem aprendizagens que se dão a partir de elementos urdidos na cultura. São considerados, assim, o quanto a cultura intervém nos processos que envolvem sujeitos assujeitados a práticas de bio‐ascese, as quais são fruto de objetivações produzidas num entorno maior, o qual engloba o uso de técnicas para efetuações de aprendizagens para a produção do que nós estamos sendo; b) as tensões entre corpos ‘magros’ e corpos ‘gordos’ os quais trazem, consigo, um acirramento em práticas racistas, que envolvem a apartação e separação dos nomeados como ‘outros’, numa desenfreada busca pela ‘pureza’. O imperativo da saúde, nesse ínterim, também é assinalado como um produtivo locus para a criação dos nomeados como ‘diferentes’, tendo em vista que uma quantidade considerável de escritas sobre os ‘outros’ analisadas se apóiam em discursos advindos desse imperativo para marcar e demarcar quem são os ‘outros’; c) escritas que mostram o quanto certas situações cotidianas que envolvem a diminuição desse ‘outro’ marcado conforme a sua imagem corporal produz certos modos de sentir associados a escritas dolorosas, as quais mostram o tamanho do sofrimento que as nomeações produzem; d) o quanto a retomada da ética pode ser fecunda para a criação de modos de existências que resistam aos inúmeros imperativos dircionados a nós, tais como os ‘tirânicos’ imperativos relacionados aos corpos. Há, em suma, uma inseparabilidade entre as questões “o que estamos fazendo de nós mesmos?”, “o que estamos fazendo de nossos corpos?” e, ainda, “o que estamos fazendo com os ‘outros’?”. / What have we been doing of ourselves?” It is a Nietzschean’s concern that covers in the course of this study. Such concern leads me to construct a research trajectory in which tonic is the wish of understanding – from the Pos‐Structured Cultural Studies perspective – how it is been occurring, contemporarily, the production of oneself and of the ‘others’ in a culture so marked by speeches related to the bodies. In order to operate this study, the corpus refers to the orkut communities, more specifically to the I hate fat women communities, I hate fat women who are grasped and No Food, as well as blogs present in the cyberspace that may contribute to the arguments. Such corpus choice has to do with the Internet peculiarities, which provide subjects that express things about one and others more broadly. The discussions refer, then, to: a) productions of oneself that, connected to speeches that involve contemporary body normalizations, involve learning that happen since elements weaved from the culture. It is considered, therefore, how much the culture intervene in the processes that involve the subjects submitted to the bio‐ascetics practices, in which are objectivities fruit produced in a greater round, which approach the use of techniques for the learning effects to the production of what we are being; b) the tensions between the ‘thin’ bodies and the ‘fat’ bodies which bring, with themselves, the racist practices toughness, that involve the putting apart and the separation of the named ones as ‘others’, in a unbridled searching for the ‘pureness’. The health imperative, in the interim, is also assigned as a locus productive to the named ones creation as ‘different’, seeing that a considerable quantity of analyzed writing about the ‘others’ lean on speeches originated from this imperative in order to mark and demarcate who are the ‘others’; c) writings which demonstrate how certain routine situations that involve the decreasing of this ‘other’ marked according to its body image produce certain manners of feeling associated with the painful writings, which show the suffering amount that the naming produce; d) how much the ethics retaking may be fertile to the creation of means of existences that resist to the imperative numbers direced to us, such as the ‘tyrannical’ imperatives related to the bodies. There is, in summary, an inseparability among the questions “what have we been doing of ourselves?”, “what have we been doing of our bodies?” and, still, “what have we been doing with the others’?”

Orgány spolku v české právní úpravě / The bodies of association in the Czech law

Zechovský, Jakub January 2017 (has links)
Since 1st January 2014, association law has been entirely governed by Act No. 89/2012 Coll., Civil Code. It is the first time in history that certain bodies of associations are regulated by law in the Czech legal system. The aim of this theses called "The bodies of association in the Czech law" is to provide critical theoretical analysis of contemporary Czech law regarding the bodies of association. The thesis also focuses on potential practical problems which may arise, including, for example, register of association. The work is divided into eight chapters. The first is dedicated to theoretical approaches of legal persons and provides an answer to the question which theoretical approach influenced Czech lawmakers most. Second chapter deals with the concept of freedom of association and autonomy of associations. This serves to put the main topic into broader constructional context. Third chapter contains brief history of association and analyses conceptual elements of association as well as its establishment. Starting with the fourth chapter, each following chapter is dedicated to particular bodies of association. First of all, the definition of body of association and division between mandatory and optional bodies of associated are provided (the fourth chapter). Then the fifth chapter describes...

Working with Transgendered People: Coworkers’ Gender Expectations, Conceptions and Behaviours in the Workplace

Falconi, Laurel January 2014 (has links)
Classification schemes are embedded into everyday life and people often expect that each category is fixed and stands alone from one another (Bowker & Star, 2000). In terms of gender, this is evident when people focus on gender as either male or female. With the increasing presence of people who are openly transgendered in the workplace (Taranowski, 2008), people’s expectations about gender as something ‘that just is’ are questioned. There is an emerging research literature focusing on people who transition in their work environments, but comparatively little on their coworkers. This research focuses on the experiences of the coworkers’ to examine how they interpret the meaning of gender after their colleague transitioned from being a “man” to being a “woman”. By analyzing and interpreting people’s behaviours in the context of a workplace where an individual reconstructs what it means to embody a specific gender identity, the feelings and behaviours that arise when expectations about gender are contradicted can be examined.

Examining parental involvement in governance at primary schools : case study of three township primary schools in the Western Cape

Dick, Sithembele Leonard January 2016 (has links)
Masters in Public Administration - MPA / In Wallacedene, the researcher became aware that minimum parental participation in school activities had reached alarming standards. This is related to learner performance which is of concern to educators, principals and education department officials. Parents are expected to perform certain roles in the governance of schools for the improvement of the quality of education in public schools. Parents are not honouring their obligatory responsibility of participation as required in terms of the public schools governing legislation. The research focused on parental involvement in primary schools in Wallacedene examining both the nature and extent of parental involvement in school governance. This study followed the qualitative approach to determine if parents are involved in school activities and governance. Questionnaires, interviews and document analysis were utilized for data gathering. Participants were members of the School Governing Bodies (SGB) of the three primary schools in the Wallacedene area. From the data gathered, the findings of the study indicated that parents in the townships of the Wallacedene area are not involved in school activities and governance. Issues of skills deficiency, low literacy levels, language barriers and socio-economic conditions seem to limit parental involvement in school governance. This study proposes possible recommendations to assist the school-based personnel and parents in developing and maintaining stronger and greater participation in school governance.
