The aim of the diploma thesis is the graphic processing of the monographic publication of Kateřina Šedá. In my work I refer to the cooperation of designer, author and curator, with many aspects that influence us in the process of creation and define the result. The work of Kateřina Šedá consists predominantly of participatory actions, often linked to a specific place (excluded locality, housing estate, village), with events, interactions and the experiences of many people being the key output. The aim of the monograph is to provide a clear report on major authorial projects in one comprehensive publication. Considering the quantity, variety and complexity of Kateřina Šedá’s work, the work also includes searching for solutions and systems to process projects to a limited extent.

Student no:7719196 PhD thesis 2005 Faculty of Science, School of Animal, Plant and Environmental Sciences. / This study aimed to investigate the phylogeny of Cineraria L. to elucidate its position in the tribe Senecioneae (Asteraceae), to delimit its generic and species boundaries, explore species relationships (infrageneric structure) and produce a monograph of the genus. It also aimed to examine its distribution, phytogeographic affinities, levels of rarity and endemism in Cineraria, to identify some of the factors contributing to rarity in Cineraria and to highlight implications for conservation. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using morphological and molecular (DNA sequence) characters to elucidate relationships within the genus and between Cineraria and selected related genera in the subtribe Senecioninae. The phylogenetic species concept was applied - suites of diagnostic characters were used to characterise species. The phenetic approach, using Cluster Analysis and Principal Coordinates Analysis, was applied to investigate variation in two highly variable species, C. deltoidea Sond. and C. lobata L’Hér. Species distributions were mapped and the number of species per degree square was plotted for southern Africa to identify centres of diversity and endemism. Rare species were identified and categorised according to Rabinowitz’s criteria of geographic range, habitat specificity and local population size. Cineraria now has a more homogenous generic concept, characterised as herbs or subshrubs with palmately veined leaves, radiate, calyculate capitula, penicillate style apices and obovate, compressed cypselae with two distinct margins or wings and a substantial carpopodium. Eleven species have been removed from the genus and two new genera, Bolandia Cron and Oresbia Cron & B.Nord. have been established to accommodate three of the species. Two species have been reassigned to and another reinstated in Senecio L. The affinities of five species remain unresolved. Cineraria now comprises 35 species with four new subspecies and two new varieties recognised. Eight species have been placed in synonymy and five new species have been described during this revision. The status of C. deltoidea as a single, highly variable species, widespread throughout the eastern mountains of Africa, has been confirmed. Cineraria lobata has been shown to be a very variable species and the geographic and morphological variation has been formally (and informally) recognised. No infrageneric classification has been applied to Cineraria as a robust phylogeny of all the species has yet to be hypothesised. A southern African origin for Cineraria in the Western and/or Eastern Cape is postulated, based on the current distribution of the sister genus Bolandia and Cineraria mollis DC. iv Cineraria appears to have undergone rapid speciation fairly recently, as indicated by the lack of variation in the molecular data analysed, with reticulate evolution playing an important role in its evolutionary history (as seen by the lack of congruence between the chloroplast and nuclear DNA sequences). The centre of diversity of Cineraria is the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, part of the Maputaland-Pondoland Centre of endemism in southern Africa. Cineraria has an afromontane affinity, and fifteen species endemic to specific mountains or regions of endemism and five near-endemics have been identified in Cineraria. Eleven species have been shown to be rare (in the sense of low abundance, restricted range and high habitat specificity), however only five are considered to be threatened as indicated by IUCN Red Data Criteria. However, at least seven species are Data Deficient and require further investigation. Causes of rarity in Cineraria are linked to narrow habitat specificity, particularly soil or rock type and/or altitudinal range.

From this perspective and considering our aims at understanding discursive process involved in the production of monograph genre at the university we want to analyze teachers and students discourses about the productive process of monograph in Letras Course, considering the guide, writing and specific aspects of that genre. To get the aims, we took as background theory the studies by Bakhtin linked to Utterance Linguistics with foundation concepts in Discourse Text Analysis by Adam (2010), and finally the studies developed about text production at college. This way, this work is based on a qualitative research and in data ethnographic procedures, they are: the observation in locus, as well as the application of questionnaires with opened questions to ten students and six teachers from Letras Course. The discourse analysis from the subjects reveal us that: i) the monograph production and the guidance are form of act by language, that need take into account in its development: students free chose as a principle in writing monograph, as well as a wide involvement between the teacher and the student in a sense to turn the writing better, among other aspects; (ii) there is a need to articulate monograph project and the text produced, considering that the guide process comes from a project written before; (iii) there are a number of role to discourses by teachers and students to the function of student and guide teacher, in a way that both can see the same assumptions in teachers and students discourses; (iv) teacher s and students discourses show that they assume the utterance responsibilities by the content of utterances proposed, they also show the voice from methodology guidebooks to monograph texts. So, we conclude that this research has some contributions to teach writing production at the university, especially to monograph in the ending of the courses. It can also be helpful in developing research in this area, mainly at the question about guide final works at college / Uma das preocupa??es mais recorrentes de professores no Ensino Superior atual ? a produ??o dos g?neros elaborados nesse ?mbito, especialmente os que se configuram como trabalho de conclus?o de curso, como monografia, disserta??o e tese. Partindo dessa perspectiva, e com vista a compreender os processos discursivos envolvidos na produ??o do g?nero monografia no ?mbito universit?rio, objetivamos, na presente tese, analisar discursos de professores e de alunos sobre o processo de produ??o da monografia no Curso de Letras, considerando a orienta??o, a escritura e as especificidades deste g?nero. Para alcan?armos esse objetivo, tomamos por fundamenta??o te?rica os estudos bakhtinianos em interface com a Lingu?stica da Enuncia??o, com os fundamentos da An?lise Textual dos Discursos de Adam (2010) e, por fim, com os estudos sobre a produ??o textual no ensino superior. A pesquisa pauta-se em uma abordagem qualitativa, com base em procedimentos etnogr?ficos de gera??o de dados, a saber: a realiza??o de observa??es in loco, assim como a aplica??o de question?rios com perguntas abertas para 10 (dez) alunos e 06 (seis) professores do Curso de Letras. A an?lise dos discursos dos sujeitos selecionados revela que: (i) a produ??o e a orienta??o da monografia s?o formas de a??o pela linguagem que precisam ter em conta, quando de sua execu??o, a liberdade de escolha do aluno como princ?pio da produ??o da monografia, bem como o maior envolvimento de orientador-orientando com vista a melhorar a qualidade da produ??o, dentre outros; (ii) h? a necessidade de uma articula??o entre o projeto de pesquisa e a monografia, considerando-se o trabalho de orienta??o, que deve partir no nascimento do projeto de pesquisa; (iii) s?o muitos os papeis atribu?dos em discursos de professores e alunos para as fun??es de orientador e de orientando, de maneira que ambos veem atribui??es comuns tanto nos discursos de alunos quanto nos discursos dos professores; (iv) os discursos de professores e alunos indicam ainda assumirem, em alguns casos, a responsabilidade enunciativa pelo conte?do das proposi??esenunciados, bem como mostram que as vozes dos manuais de metodologia e das normas institucionais est?o intrinsecamente subjacentes ao processo de produ??o da monografia. Portanto, conclu?mos que essa investiga??o tem muito a contribuir com o ensino de produ??o textual na universidade, especialmente da monografia de final de curso, bem como para o desenvolvimento de pesquisa nesse ?mbito, principalmente como foco na quest?o da orienta??o de trabalho no ensino superior

A travers une monographie de tribu, on analyse le fait tribal en Kabylie, les réappropriations dont il est l’objet et leur articulation avec l’affirmation identitaire berbère marquant aujourd’hui cette région d’Algérie. Après des réflexions sur les notions de tribu, construction identitaire et monographie, sont exposés les résultats d’une enquête sur les At Zemmenzer, une tribu du Djurdjura. La reconstruction historique des éléments la caractérisant au XIXème s. ainsi que de leurs transformations au XXème s. montre qu’elle a connu une déstructuration limitée avec un territoire peu bouleversé par les découpages administratifs et le maintien d’une pratique et d’une représentation de ce territoire comme espace de relations privilégiées. Les assemblées villageoises se sont maintenues et ont composé avec les administrations officielles. Ces institutions, prééminentes au niveau du village, connaissent une rénovation à partir de 1980. Les transformations de la composition, du fonctionnement et des prérogatives des assemblées, devenues « comités de village », montrent des éléments de continuité / adaptation, parfois de rupture. De plus, à travers de nouvelles organisations, les arch, les At Zemmenzer mobilisent les modalités de représentations intervillageoises de la société tribale. Cette rénovation est liée à l’influence d’acteurs et d’associations portant l’affirmation identitaire berbère. Ces dernières, apparues après 1990, en lien avec les comités, procèdent à un travail de reconstruction identitaire qui prend des formes diverses entre folklorisation et réinvestissements. Un rapport nouveau apparaît aux éléments constitutifs de la culture devenant des symboles identitaires. / Through a tribe monograph, the present work analyzes the tribal system in Kabylia, the reappropriations to which it is subjected and their link with the assertion of Berber identity now marking this region of Algeria. After reflecting on the notions of tribe, identity construction and monograph, we expound the results of research carried out amongst the At Zemmenzer, a tribe from Djurdjura. The historical reconstruction of the elements qualifying this tribe in the 19th c., as well as their transformations throughout the 20th c., shows that it experienced a limited dismantling with a territory little disrupted by the administrative division and with the upholding of a practice and representation of this territory as an area of privileged relationships. The village assemblies kept on and dealt with the official administrations. These institutions, preeminent at the village level, experienced a renovation starting 1980. The transformations of the make-up, functioning and rights of the assemblies, having now become “village committees”, show elements of continuity and sometimes disruption. Moreover, through new organizations called the arch, the At Zemmenzer mobilize the arrangements for intervillage representations among the tribal society. This renovation is linked to the influence of players and associations carrying the assertion of Berber identity. In conjunction with the committees, the associations, which came into being after 1990, take actively part in the reconstruction of an identity embodying diverse forms from folklorization to revitalization. A new connection to the elements constituting culture comes into existence, making them become identity symbols.

[pt] O estudo investigou o papel da Monografia para Economistas no contexto do currículo de graduação em Economia no Departamento de Ciências Econômicas da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). A relevância da pesquisa tem como base o fato de que a apresentação da monografia é condição obrigatória para obtenção do título de bacharel em Ciências Econômicas e a discussão sobre o seu papel envolve uma reflexão mais ampla sobre o currículo de Economia como um todo. A metodologia utilizada é de cunho qualitativo e desenvolveu-se em duas partes: (1) Análise documental referente às orientações do Ministério de Educação e Cultura (MEC), do Conselho Regional de Economia (CORECON-RJ) e dos currículos do curso de Economia da instituição estudada. (2) Análise das entrevistas realizadas com professores de Departamento de Ciências Econômicas da UFRRJ sobre os aspectos principais do tema incluindo a identidade do curso, o papel desempenhado pela monografia, a maneira de desenvolvê-la assim como as principais dificuldades dos alunos. As conclusões do estudo revelam uma tensão sobre a própria concepção de tal disciplina, refletindo a discussão sobre a identidade do próprio curso de economia, enfatizando uma formação mais acadêmica do economista em contraste com uma concepção mais profissional. / [en] This study investigates the role of Monograph for Economists in the context of curriculum of the undergraduate course in Economics Curriculum at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). The relevance of this study is based on the fact that the presentation of a monograph is compulsory to obtain the title of Bachelor of Economic Sciences and the discussion of its role involves a broader discussion of the curriculum of Economics as a whole. The methodology of this study is qualitative and was developed in two parts: (1) Documental analysis of the guidelines of the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC), of the Regional Council of Economics (CORECON-RJ) and of the curricular plans of the institution studied. (2) Interview analysis done with the professors of the Department of Economics of Federal Rural University about the main aspects of the theme including a discussion of the course s identity, the role of monographs, the way they are developed and the main difficulties the students have in preparing these monographs. The conclusions of this study reveal a tension about how monographs were conceptualized, reflecting the discussion of the course s identity and contrasting an academic formation with a professional one.

The genus Harrisia Britton (Cactaceae) comprises species of columnar cacti that are united by a unique seed morphology. The species range in form from prostrate shrubs to large trees and are native to South America and the Caribbean region. Harrisia is placed in an unresolved position within subtribe Trichocereinae of tribe Cereeae of subfamily Cactoideae. Relationships among the species within Harrisia are also poorly understood. In this study, several species of Harrisia were sequenced for as many as seven different regions of nuclear and plastid DNA. Species in the Caribbean were also examined with amplified fragment length polymorphisms. The morphology of Harrisia was characterized from herbarium specimens, live plants, and original descriptions. A biogeographic scenario was extrapolated from the molecular and morphological data. The flower morphology suggests a relationship between Harrisia and some species of Echinopsis s. l. However, DNA sequence analyses in this study do not clearly resolve generic relationships with Harrisia. Molecular and morphological data support recognition of two subgenera, four sections, and two series within Harrisia. It is proposed that Harrisia originated in the west-central Andes, ~3.5-6.5 Ma ago. Subgenus Eriocereus is composed of the species in the east Andes of Bolivia and the nearby species radiation in the Gran Chaco. Subgenus Harrisia originated by an early dispersal event into Brazil with subsequent dispersal into the Caribbean. In the last 500 Ka, Harrisia, colonized west Cuba and further diversified into other areas of the Caribbean. Harrisia is revised to contain 18 species.

Malaria is a disease affecting millions of people in 109 malarious countries and territories, causing approximately one million deaths annually. In 2004 one of the parasites causing human malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, was among the leading global causes of death from a single infectious agent, especially in Africa (WHO, 2008:23). Treatment of this disease with single active pharmaceutical ingredients has led to the emergence of resistant P. falciparum parasites, resulting in the most severe form of this illness. Alarmingly, the poor quality of commercially available antimalarial products, especially in Africa, has increasingly been reported as a major cause of resistance to antimalarials. In Pakistan it was found that a P. falciparum epidemic that initially was attributed to drug resistance, was actually caused by substandard sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine products, causing a 50 times higher incidence of malaria in these areas than elsewhere (Leslie et al., 2009:1758). Other results indicated that up to 10% of sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine tablets, sampled in six African countries, failed the assay test, whilst up to 40% failed the USP dissolution test. Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 20 - 90% of products failed quality requirements during 1999 and 2000 in seven African countries (WHO, 2003:263). Cases like these have raised the awareness of the vast number of inferior products that are being distributed. The subsequent need for establishing mechanisms to proactively detect substandard medicines, specifically antimalarials, easily and effectively had indirectly led to the origin of this study, long before it was formally undertaken. Testing monographs for pharmaceutical products are developed to formalise, or standardise, the regulation of pharmaceutical dosage forms. Problems have, however, been reported with regards to the inadequacy of existing antimalarial monographs in assuring quality medicines, fit for their intended use. The WHO had requested the Research Institute for Industrial Pharmacy, incorporating the Centre for Quality Assurance of Medicines (RIIP®/CENQAM®), both operating at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North–West University, to develop monographs for three immediate–release antimalaria dosage forms, namely amodiaquine tablets, sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine fixed–dose combination tablets and mefloquine tablets. The undertaking of these projects, to develop specifications for the quality control of these pharmaceutical products, formed the object of this research study. Data had been accumulated since 2000, as a result of continuous requests by the WHO to help solve problems that had been experienced with analytical test methods, especially from manufacturers. These requests either led to the refinement of existing methods, or to the development of new ones. The success with which these outcomes were implemented worldwide, finally led to the decision to publish these research findings under the umbrella of this project. The proud product is a comprehensive package of tests for three commercial antimalarial products, the outcomes of which are hoped to contribute towards the combat against resistance formation to these important disease fighters. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Pharmaceutics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.
