Bullerskyddsskärmar används för att reducera buller från väg- och spårtrafik. Syftet med examensarbetet var att utvärdera standard EN 1793–6:2012, en mätmetod för att undersöka bullerskyddsskärmars effektivitet in-situ med avseende på ljudisoleringen. I nuläget bestäms bullerskyddsskärmars effektivitet med laborationsmätningar i ett diffust ljudfält, som inte överensstämmer med det direkta ljudfält och den komplexitet som är in-situ. Till följd av det blir ofta laborationsmätningarna missvisande. Det finns även en okunskap kring håligheter/ läckage och hur det påverkar den akustiska prestandan, vilket gör att det emellanåt leder till brister i installationen av bullerskyddsskärmar och att enhetens ljudreducering inte stämmer överens med förväntningarna. Det finns således ett behov av att bestämma en bullerskyddsskärms befintliga prestanda in-situ för att säkerställa de krav som ställs i specifikationerna. EN 1793–6:2012 ansågs vara lämplig för ändamålet men fler mätningar behövs utföras för att kunna säkerställa resultaten och för att verifiera mätsystemet. Ljudisoleringen bestämdes som en funktion av frekvenser i tersband och var giltiga i frekvensområdet mellan 200 Hz till 5 kHz respektive 400 Hz till 5 kHz. De undersökta bullerskyddsskärmar var: en i laminerat och härdat glas med aluminiumpelare, en icke-homogen vegetationsskärm i stålram och en kombinerad bullerskyddsskärm i akrylglas med aluminiumprofiler. Resultaten jämfördes med laborationsmätningar och/eller simuleringar i Insul. Bullerskyddsskärmarna i glas gav högre värden på ljudisoleringen än i laborationsmätning, ett resultat som kan bero på skillnaderna mellan diffust ljudfält och direkt ljudfält. Komplexiteten i vegetationsskärmen gjorde resultaten svåra att analysera, men läckage förekom i de högre frekvenserna. Adrienne-fönstren behövde bli specifikt beräknade för samtliga impulssvar eftersom dimensionerna för bullerskyddsskärmarna inte överensstämde med vad som definieras i EN 1793–6:2012 för certifieringsändamål. I EN 1793–6:2012 omnämns inte heller markreflektion, som påverkar den filtrerade signalen. Vidare studier behövs för att filtrera bort dessa oönskade komponenter. / Road traffic noise devices, for example noise barriers, are used to reduce the noise from road traffic and trams. The purpose of this master thesis is to evaluate the standard EN 1793-6:2012, a test method for determining noise barriers efficiency in-situ. Currently, noise barriers efficiency is determined with laboratory measurements in a diffuse sound field, which does not reflect the direct sound field and the complexity that are in-situ. As a result, laboratory measurements are often misleading. Due to a lack of knowledge about leakage, there are sometimes defects caused in the installation of the noise barriers that adversely affect the acoustic properties. There is thus a need to determine the intrinsic parameters of a noise barrier in-situ to ensure the requirements set in the specifications. The new method described in EN 1793-6:2012 was considered useful for the purpose but it was found that more measurements need to be performed to ensure results and to verify the measurement system. The sound insulation was determined for three noise barriers where results are expressed as a function of frequency in one third octave band and were valid in the frequency range between 200 Hz to 5 kHz respective 400 Hz to 5 kHz. The noise barriers tested were: a barrier in laminated glass with metal posts, a non-homogeneous vegetation barrier in a steel frame and a combined barrier with acrylic glass and metal. The results were compared with laboratory measurements and/or simulations in Insul. The glass barriers showed higher values ​​of the sound insulation index than the laboratory measurements, perhaps due to the different sound fields. The complexity of the vegetation barrier made the results difficult to analyze, but leakage occurred in the higher frequencies. The Adrienne temporal windows were specifically calculated for all impulse responses, since the dimensions of the noise barriers differed from the one defined in EN 1793-6: 2012 for certification purposes. Also, in EN 1793-6: 2012, ground reflection, which affects the filtered signal, is not mentioned. Further studies are needed to filter out these unwanted components.

This study addresses lesser known works of romantic poets John Clare and John Keats--Clare's Child Harold and Keats's poems to Fanny Brawne--which I refer to as their love poems because the works are informed by intense feelings the poets had for women they loved. Although these works have been the brunt of negative criticism because Clare was considered insane at the time of the composition of Child Harold and Keats was accused of using the poems to give vent to his personal sufferings, nonetheless I argue that the love poems are significant for several reasons. They are a reflection of the poets' personal experiences and also demonstrate their remarkable and surprisingly similar creative abilities in the way they use poetry as a means of devising new strategies for dealing with the painful realities of their disturbing lives. And because I feel it is important to understand Clare's and Keats's feelings for the women they love in order to understand their poetry (since the poetry is, after all, based on real life experiences), I provide chapters describing the poets's lives and loves, as well as their poetic processes, to serve as a framework for examining the poems. In the remaining chapters, I show how the poets incorporate highly sophisticated metaphor in attempting to reconcile the apparent conflicts the speakers in their poems are experiencing between their subjective responses to, and their rational assessment of human existence. In the process, the speakers experience various states of emotional upheaval ranging from what I refer to as periods of limbo, purgatory, and paradise, and they create personal thresholds and undergo differing states of self-awareness. In the final chapter I provide a summary of how these different emotional states are metaphorically effected, and then attempt to explain the value of Clare's and Keats's poetic achievements in the poems from a current perspective.

The limestone tablet oDeM 1793 is known particularly for its representativeness as a writing medium. In the following it will be shown that the preserved hieratic text can be identified as part of the hymnus of Amun of pBoulaq 17.

The novels of Charles Dickens resonate with ancient and Christian moral messages: From plots and characters representative of Victorian ideals and concerns emerge themes that reflect centuries of moral, and, as I argue, specifically Augustinian, teaching. While the Christian overtones of Charles Dickens's novels are seldom denied, their Augustinian nature, their purpose, and Dickens's hopes for their effect are rarely given their proper due. In opposition to the postmodern idea of an increasing nihilism and despair in Dickens's message, I examine instead his steadfast fascination with and joy in the power of charitable friendships-friendships that embody goodness and the possibility for conversion, friendships that are especially noteworthy amid the societal darkness ushered in by the crises of faith that accompanied nineteenth-century industrialization, commercialization, and de-moralization. Preparing to highlight the undeniable moral value in both the rejected and realized friendships and conversions of Dickens's Martin Chuzzlewit, Bleak House, and Great Expectations, first I focus on true friendship as a necessary part of a soul's ascent developed in Plato's Symposium and Phaedrus, as well as in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, illustrating how these classical texts anticipate the Augustinian notion of a soul's transformation from the earthly city to the city of God. With this literary continuum thus established, I contend that the Heavenly City as it is reflected in the Dickensian world relies on its virtuous citizens, those true friends who consistently manifest Christian charity, humility, and forgiveness. / by Jill A.

À partir de cette banalité, cette thèse a cherché à enquêter sur la façon dont Paul de Kock lui-même et ses biographes lui définissaient comme un écrivain et, d'autre part, de déterminer si les aspects matériaux et éditoriaux des exemplaires de ses oeuvres existants à la collection du Grêmio Literário Português do Pará [Guilde Littéraire Portugais du Pará] peut dire quelque chose sur le lectorat supposé, auquel ses oeuvres étaient destinées. Ainsi, dans le premier chapitre on a analysé les biographies et les autobiographies de l'écrivain, en essayant de vérifier ce qui aurait été la représentation de l'écrivain Paul de Kock élaborée à sa propre époque. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous analysons les caractéristiques éditoriaux des exemplaires des oeuvres du Grêmio Literário Português do Pará, avec le but de réaliser une cartographie des intermédiaires de la littérature - éditeurs, compositeurs et interprètes - qui participent à la production des romans de l'auteur. Dans le dernier chapitre, nous analysons les particularités du matérial appui d'une partie de ces questions, afin de comprendre dans quelle mesure les formats dans lesquels les oeuvres de l'écrivain ont étés distribués peuvent donner des indices sur la représentation des éditeurs au sujet de son lectorat probable, tout en étant indicatif de l'état de l'auteur dans le domaine de la littérature. / Paul de Kock é considerado um escritor popular e de segunda monta do século XIX francês. Partindo desse lugar comum, a presente dissertação pretendeu investigar como o próprio Paul de Kock e seus biógrafos o definiam enquanto escritor e, por outro lado, averiguar se os aspectos editoriais e materiais dos exemplares de suas obras presentes no acervo do Grêmio Literário Português do Pará podem dizer algo a respeito do suposto público leitor ao qual suas obras se destinavam. Assim, no primeiro capítulo foram analisadas as biografias e autobiografia do escritor, buscando verificar qual teria sido a representação do escritor Paul de Kock elaborada em sua própria época. No segundo capítulo foram analisadas as características editoriais dos exemplares das obras do romancista francês presentes no Grêmio Literário Português do Pará, de modo a realizar um mapeamento dos intermediários da literatura - editores, tipógrafos e tradutores - envolvidos no processo de publicação dos romances do autor. No último capítulo procuramos analisar as particularidades do suporte material de parcela dessas edições, com o intuito de compreender até que ponto os formatos nos quais as obras do escritor circularam podem dar pistas sobre a representação dos editores acerca de seu provável público leitor, bem como ser indicativos do estatuto do escritor no interior do campo literário.

Ce mémoire rend compte d'un long processus qui trouve son origine dans le travail du théâtre : décors, costumes, textes, voix, acteurs et représentations, processus qui puise dans les caprices, les anecdotes, les vérités et les mensonges de la grande histoire. Il fait état de la recherche qui a mené à la réalisation d'une vidéo mettant en scène le lent déshabillage d'un personnage célèbre, Marie-Antoinette d'Autriche, et à l'exposition recontextualisant les costumes et les accessoires utilisés pendant le tournage. En plus de mettre Marie-Antoinette en relation avec sa mère, Marie-Thérèse de Habsbourg, ce récit vidéographique a fait appel à d'autres personnages qui portent le récit: les Archivistes, les Bornes et les Africaines. À travers ces personnages secondaires, le corps du personnage-actrice Marie-Antoinette, surexploité par la culture populaire, est décortiqué, classifié, classé, reclassé et conceptualisé avant d'être utilisé comme point d'ancrage d'une création théâtrale. Dans la construction de cette histoire, le costume, réel et conceptuel, a servi de trame au texte, qui a ensuite guidé la gestuelle de l'actrice une fois le costume endossé. À travers un effeuillage menant au corps de l'actrice, le présent texte fait, couche après couche, état de cette réflexion sur le corps mis en scène et sur les capacités et limites de celui-ci à raconter une expérience sensible. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : apparence, image, corps, vêtement, peinture, vidéo, théâtre, costume, jeu.
