Quoi de plus inné que les concepts d’oblique, d’horizontal ou de vertical ? Pour nous, moderne, ces concepts fondamentaux sont la base de tout notre système de pensée, tant mathématique qu’artistique. Tout porterait à croire que ces principes soient présents dans la civilisation grecque, dont nous nous réclamons les héritiers. Ce n’est pourtant pas une évidence au vu des textes qui nous ont été rapportés. Homère n’a pas connu le concept d’oblique – aucun mot ne saurait le traduire dans la langue de son époque. Et même plus tard. Les Grecs ont cinq adjectifs pour signifier approximativement l’oblique : λοξός, πλάγιος, λέχριος, σκολιός et δόχμιος. Chaque discipline (cosmologie, optique, géographie, artistique, etc.) a sa façon d’appréhender ces cinq termes, qui ne recouvrent à chaque fois que partiellement notre notion d’oblique. Paradoxalement, ce que le langage écrit n’a pas synthétisé se retrouve en abondance dans l’imagerie. Plus surprenant encore, l’oblique dans l’image, que nous considérons comme signe du mouvement dans notre langage iconographique, se retrouve aussi bien pour signifier le mouvement que le repos. Deux monuments de l’art grec attirent notre attention sur ce nouveau paradoxe : la frise du Mausolée d’Halicarnasse et l’Athéna Pensive. A chaque fois l’oblique est présente, à chaque fois elle porte deux sens bien distincts. Ces deux formes de langage, écrit et imagé, apportent un éclairage différent, et pour le moins complémentaire, sur la façon dont les Grecs de l’Antiquité ont appréhendé (ou non) le concept d’oblique. / What could be more innate than the concepts of oblique, horizontal or vertical ? For us, modern, these three concepts are the basis of our whole system of thought, both mathematical and artistic. It would appear to be obvious that these principles are present in the Greek civilization, whose we claim the heirs. However that isn't so obvious in view of the texts that have survived. Homer didn’t know the concept of oblique - no words can translate it into the language of his time. And even later. The Greeks have five adjectives to mean approximately oblique : λοξός, πλάγιος, λέχριος, σκολιός and δόχμιος. Each discipline (cosmology, optic, geography, art, etc.) has its own way of looking at these five words, which cover partially our notion of oblique. Paradoxically, what the written language has not synthesized, can be found in many images. Even more surprising, the oblique in the image, which we consider as a sign of movement in our iconographic language, is found both here to signify the movement than the rest. Two monuments of Greek art call our attention to this new paradox : the frieze of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus and the Mourning Athena. In each of them the oblique ligne is present, and wears two distinct senses. These two forms of language, written and pictorial, bring a different perspective, furthermore complementary, on how the ancient Greeks apprehended (or not) the concept of oblique.

Resistance exercise (RE) is indicated as a complement to aerobic exercise program to control high blood pressure. However, it is known that during RE may occur peak pressure and increased risk of cardiovascular events in hypertensive individuals. It is known that the exercise intensity, exercise volume and muscle fatigue potentiate these effects. The effects of blood pressure control and the rest time between sets have not yet been investigated. The objective of this study was to verify, in hypertensive women undergoing resistance exercise, the effects of blood pressure control and the rest time between sets (30s, 60s and 90s) the responses of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic (DBP), heart rate (HR) and double product (DP). The study included nineteen hypertensive women, mean age 58.5 ± 5.2 years and BMI 29.4 ± 4.9 kg / m2, were divided into groups: controlled (n=6), decompensated (n=8) and untreated (n=5). The subjects were submitted to the 1RM test in the leg extension and held three training sessions resistance (3x12 to 60% of 1RM knee extension). Each session was performed with different rest interval (30, 60 and 90 seconds). It used 2-way ANOVA for repeated measures with post test Tukey, establishing a significance level of p<0.05. In the control group, there was no significant difference between exercise and rest to PAD, FC and DP in any of the intervals (p>0.05), while SBP was higher than the rest, when the rest interval was 30 seconds (p=0,0204). In uncontrolled and untreated groups, there was an increase in all the variables, compared to the rest (p<0.05) independent of the rest interval. Pressure peaks reached during the exercise, in the controlled group (SBP: 171.3 ± 14 and DBP: 99.5 ± 11mmHg) were similar as compare to uncontrolled groups (216.1 ± 11 and DBP: 132.5 ± 16 mmHg) and untreated (216.8 ± 21 and DBP: 133.6 ± 13mmHg). Thus, if the hypertensive framework is not controlled, the cardiovascular stress significantly increases during the RE and the pharmacological control is shown to be effective in reducing the effort during the practice of RE. Therefore, the control condition of the hypertensive frame is more important than the rest interval for influencing the cardiovascular responses during the RE. Thus, we can suggest that effective control of the PA, through pharmacological treatment can reduce the risk of pressure peak during the practice of resistance exercise. / O exercício resistido (ER) é indicado como complemento aos programas de exercícios aeróbios para controle da hipertensão arterial. Porém, sabe-se que durante o ER pode ocorrer pico pressórico e risco aumentado de evento cardiovascular em indivíduos hipertensos. Sabe-se que a intensidade de esforço, volume de exercício e fadiga muscular potencializam tais efeitos. Os efeitos do controle da pressão arterial e do tempo de descanso interséries ainda não foram investigados. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi verificar, em mulheres hipertensas submetidas ao exercício resistido, os efeitos do controle da pressão arterial e do tempo de descanso interséries (30s, 60s e 90s) nas respostas de pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) e diastólica (PAD), frequência cardíaca (FC) e duplo produto (DP). Participaram do estudo dezenove mulheres hipertensas, com idade média de 58,5±5,2 anos e IMC, 29,4±4,9 Kg/m2. Foram divididas em grupos: controlado (n=6), descompensado (n=8) e não tratado (n=5). Os sujeitos foram submetidos a um teste de uma repetição máxima (1RM), na cadeira extensora e realizaram três sessões de exercício resistido (3x12 a 60% de 1RM de extensão de joelhos). Cada sessão foi realizada com um intervalo interséries diferente (30, 60 e 90 segundos). Foi utilizado ANOVA de 2 vias para medidas repetidas, com pós teste de Tukey, estabelecendo nível de significância de p<0,05. No grupo controlado, não houve diferença significativa entre exercício e repouso de PAD, FC e DP em nenhum dos intervalos (p>0,05), enquanto a PAS foi maior que o repouso, quando o intervalo interséries foi de 30s (p= 0,0204). Nos grupos descompensado e não tratado, houve elevação de todas as variáveis, comparadas ao repouso (p<0,05) independente do tempo de descanso. Picos pressóricos atingidos durante o exercício, no grupo controlado (PAS: 171,3±14 e PAD: 99,5± 11mmHg) foram semelhantes aos picos atingidos pelos grupos descompensado (216,1±11 e PAD: 132,5±16mmHg) e não tratado (216,8±21 e PAD: 133,6±13 mmHg). Dessa forma, é possível afirmar que se o quadro hipertensivo não está controlado, o esforço cardiovascular aumenta significativamente durante o ER e o controle farmacológico mostra-se efetivo para diminuir esse esforço durante a prática do ER. Portanto, a condição de controle do quadro hipertensivo é mais importante do que o intervalo interséries para influenciar as respostas cardiovasculares ao ER. Assim, podemos sugerir que o efetivo controle da PA, através do tratamento farmacológico pode diminuir o risco de pico pressórico durante a prática do exercício resistido.

A energia elétrica de uso doméstico no cenário mundial é um fenômeno recente que incorporou modulações temporais na expressão dos ritmos biológicos, como os hábitos alimentares e de sono. Após sua popularização, tecnologias eletrônicas foram criadas e incorporadas às nossas rotinas diárias. O acesso à iluminação elétrica promove uma maior flexibilidade na organização temporal das nossas atividades por facilitar o controle de extensão da fase de atividade para horas mais tardias da noite. Assim, essa situação pode constituir um desafio temporal ao organismo, gerado pelas oscilações das pistas temporais, adiantando ou atrasando a ocorrência de eventos rítmicos como a alimentação/jejum, atividade/repouso e metabolismo. O estudo foi realizado com 27 universitários entre 18 a 30 anos (17 mulheres; 10 homens) nos quais o comportamento alimentar e de sono foi registrado por meio do uso de diários e os ciclos de atividade/repouso e claro/escuro por meio de actímetros. Observada uma associação indireta entre o uso de equipamentos eletrônicos e o aumento no consumo alimentar. A associação observada em relação ao uso dos equipamentos com a ingesta está mais amparada no atraso do início do sono que propicia o aumento observado da ingesta média na fase noturna. No longo prazo o atraso da fase do sono e a diminuição da sua duração pode gerar um desalinhamento na regulação da expressão dos padrões temporais de atividade/repouso e alimentação/jejum que pode alterar o padrão do comportamento alimentar / Electric energy used widely in domestic context is a recent phenomenon that incorporates temporal modulations on the expression of biological rhythms and behaviour, like food ingestion and sleep patterns. After popularization of electric energy, electronic technologies have been created and incorporated to our routines. Access to electric light can promote more flexibility on temporal organization of our activities which allow for an extension of the wake phase to later portions of the night. Thus, that situation could promote temporal challenges to the organisms, generated by oscillations of temporal signals, which may cause phase advances or delays in rhythmic events like feeding/fasting, rest/activity and metabolic functions. This study involved 27 university students between 18 to 30 years old (17 women; 10 men) where feeding and sleep behavior data were collected with feeding and sleep diaries; the rest/activity rhythm and the light/dark cycle data were collected with actimeters. The association observed in relation to the use of the electronic equipments with the food intake is supported by the delay of the beginning of rest that propitiates the increase of the average intake in the nocturnal phase. In the long term, the delay of the rest phase and the decrease of its duration can generate a misalignment in the regulation of the expression of the temporal patterns of rest/activity and feeding/fasting and thus change the temporal pattern of the feeding behavior

Abstract The Internet of Things vision proposes a global platform in an unforeseen scale for distributed applications that rely on data provided by interconnected resource-constrained things. In such large-scale systems, centralized control of system operation by a single component through vertical interactions becomes unfeasible. Ideally, decentralized control in the proximity of things enables to take into account the local dynamic resource availability and environmental characteristics that are used to optimize the application execution. To realize decentralization, capabilities for horizontal interactions, that complement the vertical interactions, and for opportunistic participation of things are needed. This thesis explores mobile agent technology to implement distributed Internet of Things applications that benefit from both vertical and horizontal interactions of the application components. First, a resource-oriented reactive mobile agent architecture and a software framework are presented. The framework facilitates RESTful interactions between agents and other system components and provides a REST-based interface to build opportunistic agent-based applications. Two agent platforms are presented that integrate resource-constrained things into the framework as mobile agent hosts. Second, mobile agent based mobile crowdsensing and edge computing applications are evaluated with large-scale simulations and real-world experiments. The results show that energy consumption is decreased in the participating things, in comparison with the existing approaches, by agent-based in-network data processing and control of the thing operation. This thesis makes a valuable contribution by enabling mobile agent operations in a heterogeneous set of resource-constrained things. The presented empirical evidence shows how mobile agent technology increases energy efficiency in distributed application execution. The presented mobile agent architecture and software framework potentially accelerate the utilization of mobile agent technology in the Internet of Things. / Tiivistelmä Esineiden Internet liittää resurssirajoitteiset sulautetut laitteet laajamittaisesti Internet-verkkoon, jossa niiden tuottamaa tietoa hyödynnetään hajautettujen järjestelmien sovelluksissa. Esineiden Internetin järjestelmien odotetaan skaalautuvan niin laajoiksi, ettei keskitetty, vertikaaliseen vuorovaikutukseen perustuva järjestelmähallinta ole enää käyttökelpoinen ratkaisu. Hajautettu hallinta lähellä tietoa tuottavia laitteita tuo etuja, kun paikallisesti sovelluksen suorituksessa otetaan huomioon toimintaympäristön tila ja voidaan reagoida dynaamisesti resurssien saatavuuteen. Hajautus Esineiden Internetin sovellusalustoilla edellyttää menetelmiä sekä laitteiden vertikaaliseen ja horisontaaliseen vuorovaikutukseen, että niiden dynaamisen osallistumisen mahdollistamiseksi sovelluksen suorittamisessa. Tässä työssä tutkittiin mobiiliagentti-teknologiaa hajautettujen sovellusten toteuttamiseen Esineiden Internet-ympäristössä. Työssä esitettiin resurssisuuntautunut arkkitehtuuri reaktiivisille mobiiliagenteille sekä ohjelmistokehys, joita käyttäen voidaan toteuttaa agenttipohjaisia hajautettuja sovelluksia. Ohjelmistokehys perustuu REST-arkkitehtuurimalliin, jonka pohjalta esitettiin yhdenmukainen rajapinta agenttien ja järjestelmäkomponenttien väliseen vuorovaikutukseen. Ohjelmistokehyksen osana toteutettiin kaksi mobiiliagentti-ohjelmistoalustaa resurssirajoitteisille sulautetuille laitteille. Työssä tarkasteltiin mobiiliagentti-pohjaisten Esineiden Internet-sovellusten energiatehokkuutta simuloinneilla sekä tosielämän kokeilla. Tarkastelun kohteeksi valittiin joukkoistettu mobiilihavainnointi sekä reunalaskennan ulottaminen resurssirajoitteisiin laitteisiin. Saadut tulokset osoittavat, että laitteiden energiankulutusta voidaan pienentää verrattuna aiemmin esitettyihin ratkaisuihin hyödyntämällä mobiiliagentteja tiedonkäsittelyyn laitteessa sekä laitteen toiminnan ohjaamiseen. Työssä esitetty resurssisuuntautunut mobiiliagenttiarkkitehtuuri sekä ohjelmistokehys edesauttavat mobiiliagentti-teknologian hyödyntämistä resurssirajoitteisissa sulautetuissa laitteissa. Tosielämän kokeista saadut tulokset osoittavat mobiiliagenttiteknologian hyötyjä hajautettujen sovellusten toteuttamisessa Esineiden Internetiin.

My objective for this project was to create a short but thrilling 2D-animation intended as promotion for an online comic book. The purpose of the project was to learn more about animation and graphics, to further my artistic skills and to learn how to work in Adobe After Effects. I also wanted to learn more about scheduling, project methods and how to handle stress. During the ten weeks of the project I have created the story, the storyboard, the character design, the backgrounds and the animation. The voice over was recorded with the help of a fellow student who also made the music and the sound effects. In all else I have worked on my own. During the work I have principally learned more about graphics and animation, both classic animation made on paper and digital animation. I have also gained more knowledge concerning technology as it is used in artistic processes, criticism and self criticism, personal development and learning, working alone as an opposite to working in a group, how to handle problems, setbacks and conflicts, time and planning, various ways of analyzing working processes and methods, the creative process and the balance between work and relaxation. I discuss and reflect on these and more phenomena in the end of this study. It has been a demanding but exciting journey. / Detta är en reflektionsdel till en digital medieproduktion.

Föräldrainflytande är ett komplext begrepp och en viktig del i förskolans värdegrundsarbete och demokratiuppdrag. Det är föräldrarna som har det yttersta ansvaret för barnet samt känner sitt barn allra bäst. En god samverkan mellan föräldrar och förskolan som möjliggör föräldrainflytande är därför viktigt för att kunna skapa de bästa förutsättningarna för barnet. Syftet med den här studien är därför att undersöka föräldrars upplevelser av föräldrainflytande i förskolans verksamhet med specifikt fokus på vilan. För att få svar på studiens frågeställningar har enkäter samlats in från sex föräldrar med barn i ett till treårsåldern som går i förskolan. Begreppet inflytande problematiseras med hjälp av inflytandetrappan, vilken synliggör olika nivåer av inflytande som alla är viktiga för att kunna tala om ett reellt föräldrainflytande. Vid första anblick tyder resultatet på att föräldrarnas syn på sina möjligheter till inflytande är övervägande goda. Men vid en närmare granskning av föräldrarnas beskrivningar och exempel synliggörs att det finns begränsningar i föräldrainflytandet, vilket leder till att föräldrarna inte får, eller inte utnyttjar sina möjligheter till att utöva ett reellt föräldrainflytande. / Parental influence is a complex concept and an important part of the preschool's value-based work and democracy mission. It is the parents who have the ultimate responsibility for the child and know their child best. A good collaboration between parents and the preschool that enables parental influence is therefore important in order to be able to create the best conditions for the child. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate parents' experiences of parental influence in the preschool's activities with a specific focus on the childs rest. To get answers to the study's questions, questionnaires were collected from six parents with children aged one to three years who go to preschool. The concept of influence is problematised with the help of the influence ladder, which makes different levels of influence visible, all of which are important in order to be able to talk about a real parental influence. At first glance, the results indicate that the parents' views on their opportunities for influence are predominantly good. However, a closer examination of the parents' descriptions and examples reveals that there are limitations in the parental influence, which leads to the parents not being able to, or not using, their opportunities to exercise a real parental influence.

This diploma thesis deals with the issue of sacral space of Brno-Líšeň, where there is a request to build a church as a part the Salesian Center. Part of the problematics was the construction of the Parish house and the Community house as a part of the church mentioned above. The plot is situated at the site of the southern slope between Horáková and Molákova Street and in close proximity of the Salesi center. The project is conceived as a progressively graduating spiral rising from the mass of the community house to the sculpture of the cross at the tower of the church. Visually both building are separated from the north side but are partially connected thanks to the underground floor from the south side. The building of the community center shall be a three-story building. The design of the church itself is based on the centralization of space and due to progressive gradation to the center of the building, where all the events associated with the Christian year take place. The complex serves both as a place where the widespread society can fulfill their spiritual needs as well as a sanctuary of the Salesian community, where they can fulfill their mission.
