Em 1987, foi realizado um censo coprológico na população de risco. O exame de fazes foi realizado segundo o método de KATO-KATZ, a partir do qual foram determinados os coeficientes de prevalência, a intensidade de infecção e o índice de contaminação potencial (IPC). Os portadores do S. mansoni foram classificados quanto à origem desta infecção. A distribuição geográfica desses casos, bem como de outros aspectos relacionados à dinâmica de transmissão, foi estabelecida por mapeamento da área endêmica. A associação entre fatores humanos e esquistossomose foi avaliada num estudo de caso-controle por pareamento (1:1), baseado em entrevistas domiciliares. Foram aplicados questionários padronizados que enfocaram aspectos de contato com águas naturais, percepção da doença (KAP) e condições sócio-econômicas e de saneamento básico. A análise estatística foi realizada utilizando-se programação SAS (Statistical Analysis System) e Microtab. Foram examinadas fezes de 4719 indivíduos e o coeficiente de prevalência geral foi de 4,8%, sendo maior nos homens (6,2%), na zona rural (5,8%) e nos adultos (5,3%). A média geométrica de ovos de S. mansoni por grama de fezes foi de 35,1. ...Observação: O resumo, na íntegra, poderá ser visualizado no texto completo da tese digital / Abstract: According to the socioecologycal point of view the present work was carried out. The dynamic factors of schistosomiasis mansoni transmission were studied in the municipality of Pedro de Teledo, Ribeira Valley, São Paulo State, Brazil. The intermediate host was Biomphalaria tenagophila in the studied area. In 1987 the faeces examinations (Kato-Katz method) were made in the population exposed at infection (endemic area). The prevalence rate, the index of potencial contamination (IPC) and intensity of infection were evaluated. The carriers of Schistosoma mansoni eggs were epidemiological classified according to the infection place. The geographical distribution of those cases and other aspects corelated with the transmission were stablished after plotted in maps of endemic area. The association between the human factors and the schistosomiasis was evaluated through case-control by matching (1:1), from household enterview. Water contacts, (KAP) knowledge, attitude and practices, socio-economical status and sanitation were observed through individual questionaries. SAS and MICROTAB programmes were applied to develop the statistical analysis. The faeces of 4719 individuals were examined and the general prevalence rate was 4,8% being higher in males (6.2%) and also in the rural zone (5.8%) and in the adults (5.3%). The geometric mean of S. mansoni was 35.1 eggs per gramme of stool: 80% of the cases. ...Note: The complete abstract is available with the full electronic digital thesis or dissertations / Mestrado / Ecologia / Mestre em Ciências Biológicas

This thesis is a study of the narrative strategies in the fiction of Fukazawa Shichirō (1914-87) and the ways in which these strategies work to solicit involvement in a compelling reading experience. The role of the narrator in each of the stories I discuss proves to be critical in the establishment of this relationship. And while I examine the thematic implications further enhanced by this solicitation, I have chosen to focus on how each story through its narrator produces those thematic messages. My emphasis on each work's technical aspect is also a deliberate, compensatory move, a reaction against the tendency of Japanese critics who slight the process of reading as a determining factor in their evaluation of Fukazawa's works. Little effort has been made to account for the construction of each work, and thus credit is rarely given for an immediate or enjoyable experience while reading. Thus, I have explored the neglected aspect of Fukazawa's fiction which, I believe, is one of the most commendable of his writings' achievements. I have primarily dealt with one story per chapter, although I have frequent recourse to other works by Fukazawa and other writers, and have selected four stories which I believe best capture the essence of Fukazawa's narrative craftsmanship. Each story's center of consciousness--the third person narrators in the subjects of study of Chapters One and Two, respectively, "On the Melodies of Oak Mountain" and The Fuefuki River, and the first person narrator-protagonists of "A Dream Tale (Chapter Three) and "The Dolls of Michinoku" (Chapter Four)--asks its reader to participate in a complex and distinct negotiation. And yet, despite all the variety one expects and finds in works spanning a thirty year writing career, I will contend that in each of the four stories above certain strategies are consistently used to initiate reader involvement and thus invite us to co-produce those compelling moments that Fukazawa would have us enjoy. / Arts, Faculty of / Asian Studies, Department of / Graduate

This dissertation is a study of Kohlberg's moral psychology, which is a six-stage model of moral development. Kohlberg claims that his stages form a universal invariant sequence and that they are hierarchical, i.e., higher stages are better than lower stages. Accordingly, he claims that Stage 6 morality, which centers on justice, is universally valid. This ethic of justice is embodied mainly in respect for persons, fairness, and the procedural principle of ideal role taking. Kohlberg claims not only that Stage 6 values and principles are universally valid, but also that they are determinate. In other words, reasoning in terms of these values and principles guarantees that, for each particular moral problem, there will be a distinct solution on which all morally mature people could agree. By making these claims Kohlberg is advocating a strong and traditional version of universalism, which I call 'paradigm universalism.' The dissertation is divided into five chapters. In the first two chapters I outline Kohlberg's theory and explore its philosophical implications. In Chapter 3 I discuss Kohlberg's debates with two important critics, Gilligan and Flanagan. Gilligan claims that Kohlberg's emphasis on justice rather than care indicates a gender bias in his model. Flanagan, on the other hand, argues that since morality is multifarious it is wrong to equate morality either with justice or care of a combination of both. While these criticism do point out certain shortcomings of Kohlberg's theory, I argue that they do not seriously threaten the universal validity of Stage 6 moral values and principles in general. Chapter 4 introduces the main philosophical arguments of this dissertation. In this chapter I argue that (1) moral psychology is relevant to moral philosophy; (2) that the claim of hierarchy for the Kohlbergian stages does receive significant support from his research; and therefore (3) Stage 6 does plausibly reflect certain universal moral ideals. At the same time I allow (4) that there is clearly certain cultural bias in Kohlberg's theory and (5) that he is excessively optimistic about the determinacy of Stage 6 moral reasoning. In the final Chapter, I reflect on the universalism-relativism debate in light of Kohlberg's theory. I argue that paradigm universalism is too strong for Kohlberg to support, and that universalism is acceptable only in a weakened form which I call 'minimal universalism.' Contrary to the hope of paradigm universalists, this minimal universalism cannot serve as a comprehensive theory for solving moral problems. Neither does it exclude all forms of ethical relativism, but it does set important limits to any acceptable relativist theory. / Arts, Faculty of / Philosophy, Department of / Graduate

Stellar photography has found use in the calibration of mapping cameras and in determining the orientation of the stellar cameras serving as attitude sensors, e.g. the lunar mapping cameras on the NASA Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions. The equations used to relate the image measurements to the attitude of the camera are the collinearity equations of photogrammetry. These require initial approximations to the unknown attitude angles and the use of an iterative Gaussian correction algorithm. Simpler methods are described which do not require initial approximations to the unknown angles. Two of the methods are modifications of the Church method of space resection and the third is based on the mathematical formulation of a rotation transformation about a single axis. The methods require only two images for a solution. Modifications are given for using the methods with aerial and terrestrial photographs when the camera position is known and two or more control points are imaged on a photograph. / Master of Engineering

The purpose of this research project was to explore the structural variables of hierarchical reversals, cross generational coalitions, cohesion, and adaptability as they were manifested in families with an alcoholic member, families with a recovered member, and non-alcoholic families. One hundred and twenty-five families responded to written questionnaires including The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES III), the Madanes Family Hierarchy Test (MFHT), and a Demographic Questionnaire. Adult participants also completed the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) to ensure that control families had no potentially alcoholic members, as well as ensuring that recovered families had no actively addicted members. Information was obtained on age, ethnicity, educational employment status, family income, and the sex of participating children, to ensure that the three groups were demographically comparable. The statistical analyses confirmed structural family therapy theory and the current research on alcoholic families. The results further expanded the understanding of the nature of coalitions and hierarchical reversals as they were manifested in these samples. / Ph. D. / incomplete_metadata
