The design and construction of a building presents many conditions where materials must be joined and many opportunities where the workings may be revealed. By revealing the additive process, the joining of the pieces, the connecting of the elements, and the relation of the parts to the whole, one may discover the workings and gain an understanding of the thing. It is within this understanding, this awareness of materials, that we may strengthen our connection with a place. The vehicle for studying these ideas of architecture is a public library for the town of Riner, Virginia. The building is a construction of elements; base, frame, enclosure, division, and machines. It is in how these things are put together with hierarchy, importance, truth, and honesty where one gets to architecture. / Master of Architecture

Les mécanismes d'inhibition sélective attentionnelle ont été abondamment étudiés au cours des dernières années. Les avancées en recherche ne permettent toutefois pas d'établir avec certitude s'ils sont multiples ou la manifestation d'un système unique. L'objectif de cette étude est de vérifier si l'inhibition sélective sémantique et de la localisation résultent ou non d'un mécanisme commun. Trente-et-un participants exécutent deux tâches, l'une mesurant l'effet d'amorçage négatif sémantique et l'autre évaluant l'effet d'amorçage négatif de la localisation. Des effets d'inhibition sont obtenus aux deux procédures. Les résultats observés indiquent cependant l'absence de relation statistique entre les mesures d'inhibition sémantique et spatiale. Les résultats sont discutés en rapport avec la littérature pertinente dans le domaine.

The wall in Architecture is primary and paramount. In a hierarchical comparison with other elements, the wall is dominant because of the inherent potential housed within to inform our experience of place. It does more than divide what is in from what is out. It is where Architecture begins its presencing. The juxtaposition of man within nature is always violent. In this role as reconciliator of form and environment the wall shapes our perception of being in nature. The architecture of the wall is the spatial record of the drama between interior and exterior forces acting upon it. We construct walls to keep out from becoming in. At the same time, the wall is where a controlled out is allowed in. What penetrates our world, must come through the wall. The wall must be made to accept openings, carry loads, or transfer that load elsewhere. The wall is a deliberate or delicate connection to the earth. The wall accepts, reflects, mediates, or rejects all that it is confronted with. Architecturally, permanence is expressed by means of the wall. By following the wall, one can understand the configuration of the internal vessel, its perimeter, its zones of focus, and the relationship of parts to the whole. "By knowing the limits of something, you really know something. Then you know its order, because you know its limits...but if you don't know its limits, then you don't know its order..."

Tableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2001-2002 / Je commence par mon corps comme lieu de mémoire, de passages et de rites. Je commence par une relation de contact éveillée du mouvement entre les corps dans différentes situations de mise en espace. Ma pratique est donc fondée sur l'acte, l'expérience, et la mise en situation. À travers mes images contact, j'investigue une transitivité entre les corps, les choses et les sens. Dans cette transitivité, j'expérimente l'image en tant que sensation et durée. Mon mémoire intitulé Images-Contacts : expériences de transitivité est un exercice de réflexion éveillé par ma propre pratique. Je développe parallèlement des images et des actions liés au corps, aux objets et aux lieux. Je joins à ceux-ci des notes de vidéo, de journal, de descriptions de travail, de récits d'expériences. Les Images-Contacts sont donc des images singulières et plurielles, réelles et imaginaires, des images d'expériences concrètes, animées par un état de transitivité et par une relation de contact. Je renvoie profondément mes expériences à un rituel du corps. Elles me permettent d'imaginer d'autres corps, d'autres enveloppes, d'autres peaux, d'autres images-contacts ; d'autres formes changeantes et lieux passagers pour y habiter. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2014

El objetivo de la presente investigación es estudiar el conjunto de estrategias políticas que las fuerzas armadas desarrollaron para hacerle frente a dos procesos simultáneos ocurridos tras la transición a la democracia iniciada en el Perú el año 2000: Por un lado, el proceso de justicia transicional tras fin del régimen de Alberto Fujimori, cuyo principal hito fue la instalación de una Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación, y la subsecuente judicialización de casos de violaciones de derechos humanos cometidas por efectivos militares durante el conflicto armado interno; Por otro lado, la creciente tendencia de los últimos gobiernos democráticos de utilizar a la fuerza armada para tareas de seguridad interior, tanto en el control de la seguridad pública, ante los crecientes niveles de conflictividad y movilización social registrados en el Perú, como en el combate a los remanentes armados de Sendero Luminoso aliados al narcotráfico en el valle de los ríos Apurímac y Ene (VRAE). / Tesis

Orientador: Maria Teresa Miceli Kerbauy / Banca: Luciana Ferreira Tatagiba / Banca: Marco Aurélio Nogueira de Oliveira e Silva / Resumo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo a análise, através da experiência participativa institucionalizada nos Conselhos Municipais, mais especificamente os Conselhos Municipais de Saúde, de como se dá a dinâmica de funcionamento no interior dos mesmos entre os diferentes segmentos (gestores, trabalhadores, prestadores de serviços e usuários) que os compõe, levando em consideração a existência de duas lógicas nestes espaços: a lógica participativa e a lógica representativa. Nosso objeto de estudo é o Conselho Municipal de Saúde do Município de Araraquara. O período definido para a pesquisa foi o de 2001 a 2007, que compreende três composições e mandatos do Conselho. Neste período o executivo municipal foi exercido pelo PT (Partido dos Trabalhadores). Para a realização do trabalho, fizemos os levantamentos bibliográficos da temática abordada para a pesquisa. A análise empírica constou de consultas às atas das reuniões do CMS no período delimitado (2001-2007), consultas aos regimentos internos de cada gestão analisada, a lei de criação e suas alterações, além da realização de entrevistas com os conselheiros e aplicação de questionários. Outro recurso utilizado para a pesquisa foi a observação direta das reuniões ordinárias e extraordinárias do CMS. / Abstract: This study aims to examine, through the participatory experience institutionalized in the Municipal Councils, specifically the Municipal Councils Health, in what way is it the dynamics operating within the same between different segments (managers, employees, service providers and users) that composes, taking into account the existence of two approaches in these areas: the rationale and logic participatory representative. Our object of study is the Municipal Council of Health of the city of Araraquara. The period set for the search was from 2001 to 2007, which includes three compositions and mandates of the Council. During this period the Executive has been exercised by the PT (Workers' Party). To carry out the work, we have the bibliographical survey of the theme addressed to the search. The empirical analysis consisted of queries to the minutes of meetings of the CMS delimited period (2001-2007), consultations with internal rules of each management examined, the law of creation and its amendments, in addition to the completion of interviews with the advisers and application of questionnaires . Another feature used for the search was the direct observation of the ordinary and extraordinary meetings of the CMS. / Mestre

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / This thesis analyzes NATO's decisions and actions in response to the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States and assesses the probable future role of the Alliance in combating international terrorism. In September-October 2001 the United States chose to lead a coalition against the Al Qaida terrorists and their supporters in Afghanistan instead of ceding the initiative to NATO. The necessity for rapid decisions and action, the military capabilities gap between the United States and the European allies, and the lessons of NATO's air campaign in the 1999 Kosovo crisis probably led the United States to make this choice. NATO's contributions to the campaign against terrorism have included sending Airborne Warning and Control Systems aircraft to the United States, deploying naval forces to the Eastern Mediterranean, and conducting preventive action against terrorist groups acting within or from the Balkans. NATO's responses to the 11 September attacks, the unconventional and asymmetric threat posed by international terrorism, and the distinct contributions that the military can make in combating terrorism support the main hypothesis examined in this study: that NATO may be unable to play more than specific limited roles in the fight against international terrorism. / Major, Bulgarian Army
