Sweden has a divided pattern in terms of voting patterns from region to region in terms of the urban/rural divide in the 2006-14 three-time election cycle. The country’s mid-sized municipalities outside of the three major metropolitan areas show a general likelihood to vote for the left-leaning red-green coalition than to vote for the centre-right “alliance” in the urban areas. On the contrary, the alliance had a general advantage on the countryside or in minor locations in said municipalities. Out of the 31 municipalities studied, regional variations are significant. Northern municipalities, while left-leaning in both demographic groups, saw a general trend of the red-green parties winning more relative votes outside of the urban centres. This went heavily against the rest of the country’s tendencies, while southern Sweden also saw many towns vote for the alliance over the red-greens, especially in 2010. The study confirmed that towns and rural areas are moving further apart, especially when considering the influence of the social conservative and nationalist Sweden Democrats on the rural areas. The Social Democratic party has instead become ever more dependent on urban voters during the eight years of opposition to the alliance between ’06 and ’14. The other main party of Sweden, namely the Moderates was slightly stronger in towns than rural areas in ’06, before shifting in a slightly more rural-dependent direction in the forthcoming elections. The scope of the study covered all eight parliamentary parties elected into the Swedish Riksdag in 2014. The findings did indicate tendencies for several of them in the electoral research being done around that election. Areas with lower trust in the political system, lower political personal interest, sense of direction of the country going in the wrong direction and low trust ratings for the European Union were linked with rural areas, where the Sweden Democrats gained strong support as an anti-establishment party. Interestingly, in spite of a larger number of the Swedish electorate self-identifying as to the right rather than to the left, the strong divide of right-leaning voters between the alliance parties and the Sweden Democrats contributed to a minority left-leaning government led by the Social Democrats being able to take office after the 2014 election. This study has helped identify and confirm regional and demographical differences between parties and has correlated well with previous findings.

Desse modo, procura-se reconstituir o percurso do autor pelo gênero, por meio da análise interpretativa de três de seus romances, nos quais se pode perceber a influência de diferentes orientações estéticas ao longo dos anos. Para isso, apresenta-se uma breve descrição de cunho histórico do percurso da própria formação do gênero romanesco, no âmbito geral da cultura ocidental, e também, especificamente, no cenário da literatura portuguesa. Essa recuperação histórica é feita com base nos estudos de teóricos da forma romance, como Auerbach, Watt, Lukács, Bakhtin, Rosenfeld, Jozef e Hutcheon, entre outros e, no que diz respeito ao romance português, com base em autores como Simões, Saraiva e Lopes, Reis, Mendonça, Seixo, Flory, entre outros pesquisadores. Com o intuito de perceber as diferentes fases pelas quais o romance de Saramago passa, apresenta-se, ainda, um encadeamento cronológico de enredos de toda a produção romanesca do autor, pautado em parte de sua fortuna crítica, a fim de embasar a análise dos romances selecionados como corpus deste trabalho, a saber: Manual de pintura e caligrafia (1977), Memorial do convento (1982) e As intermitências da morte (2005). Tentando evidenciar uma correspondência no desenvolvimento do gênero romanesco no século XX e o caminho literário percorrido por Saramago em sua produção de romances, observou-se que as três obras escolhidas representam, de fato... / This thesis aims to develop a study of the trajectory of the Portuguese contemporary writer José Saramago (1922-2010) in his novels. Thus, we try to reconstruct the author's journey through the formal structure of the novel, by interpretive analysis of three of his novels, in which we can see the influence of different artistic aesthetic orientations over the years. For this, we present a brief description in a historical point-of-view of the course of formation of the novelistic genre inside the general framework of Western culture, and also specifically in the setting of Portuguese literature. This historical recovery is based on studies of researches of the novel form, as Auerbach, Watt, Lukács, Bakhtin, Rosenfeld, Jozef and Hutcheon, among others, and, regarding the Portuguese novel, we based on authors such as Simões, Saraiva e Lopes, Reis, Mendonça, Seixo, Flory, among other researchers. In order to understand the different phases through which passes Saramago's novel, we also presents a brief timely recovery on all his novelistic production, based on part of his critics, in order to base the analysis of some selected novels which are the corpus of this work: Manual de pintura e caligrafia (1977), Memorial do convento (1982) e As intermitências da morte (2005). Trying to show a correspondence in the development of the novelistic genre in the 20th century and the path passed by Saramago on the literary production of his novels, we observed that the three novels analyzed represent, in fact, three stages of diverse aesthetic attitudes of the author, with characteristic elements of different...

O presente trabalho descreve morfologicamente os ductos genitais femininos e os gonópodos de diferentes famílias de caranguejos Eubrachyura. As coletas foram realizadas no litoral cearense durante os anos de 2010 a 2013. Foram coletados machos e fêmeas de sete espécies de Eubrachyura. Em laboratório, as fêmeas foram dissecadas e o sistema reprodutor feminino analisado macro e microscopicamente (microscopia de luz). Os gonópodos dos machos foram retirados, fixados e processados para análise histológica e em microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Anatomicamente o sistema reprodutor feminino segue um padrão, consistindo de um par de ovários alongados e um par de ductos genitais que se estende até o exterior.

Besides, little is known about the role of the genital ducts on the fertilization process or how the sperm is transferred to them, via male gonopods. The present work makes histological analyses of the female genital ducts and male gonopods on different Eubrachyura crabs families. Samples were collected on the coastline of the State of Ceará, between years 2010 and 2013. Males and females from seven different species of Eubrachyura were collected. The females were dissected and the female reproductive system was analyzed macroscopically and microscopically (light microscopy). Male gonopods were removed, fixed and processed for histological analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Anatomically, female reproductive system follows a pattern, consisting on a pair of elongated ovaries and a pair of genital ducts that extends to the exterior. The genital ducts of all species analyzed were constituted of four regions: oviduct, seminal receptacle, vagina and gonopore (vaginal opening or vulva). The ovaries can be connected to the seminal receptacle on the ventral or dorsal region. The morphohistological characteristics found on the genital ducts, mainly the vagina shape and the type of secretory epithelium of the seminal receptacle, indicates that these were related to taxon phylogeny. It was not possible to evaluate the exact fertilization site, although, the results allow inferring that the fertilization process begins at the seminal receptacle and concludes at the pleopods. We conclude that, among Eubrachyura, sperm transfer is performed by the association of the papille penile, first and second gonopods. The last two are covered in various setae types that, depending on the morphology and location, may have functions like protection, filtering, chemo and mechanoreception.

In this monograph we continue with the inspection initiated in [1] on the fundamental tools introduced in the approach proposed in [2,3] for the study of metastability. We give the definition of the Poisson random measures and prove the main properties that we will subsequently use to construct Markov processes with finite state space. Such construction will allow us to provide a probabilistic proof of the fact that the law of a Markov process solves the martingal problem. / En esta monografía continuamos con el desarrollo iniciado en [1] sobre las herramientas fundamentales usadas en el abordaje propuesto en [2,3] para el estudio de la metaestabilidad. Definimos las medidas aleatorias de Poisson y probamos las principales propiedades que seran usadas para construir procesos de Markov con espacio de estados finito. Esta forma de abordar la propiedad Markoviana nos permitirá dar una demostración probabilística de que la ley de un proceso de Markov resuelve un problema martingala.

Embedded in the study of Hilbert's innitesimal problem is the question of existence and number of limit cycles of linear perturbations of Hamiltonian fields. Since there is available a classication of real quadratic fields with center in R2, we can match them with complex fields in C2 that induce a foliation in P2. Our objective is to classify the foliations in P2 induced by the elds obtained by said classication of quadratic fields with center which are elliptic brations, that is, the ones with level curves of genus one. / En el estudio del problema infinitesimal de Hilbert se encuentra inmersa la tarea de analizar la existencia y de acotar el número de ciclos límite de una perturbación lineal de campos hamiltonianos. Como existe una clasificación de campos cuadráticos reales con centro en R2, podemos asociar campos complejos en C2 que inducen una foliación en P2. El objetivo de este trabajo es clasificar aquellas foliaciones en P2 inducidas por estos campos cuadráticos que sean fibraciones elípticas, es decir, aquellas cuyas curvas de nivel sean de género uno.

We define hypersato structures: these structures admit three inequivalent Sasakian structures such that each of these structures shares a common Reeb vector field and a common contact form with the others two. It is interestingto notice that hypersato manifolds can be viewed as U(1) principal orbibundles with base space a 4n-dimensional hyperkahler orbifold. We also discuss some results on the moduli problem of these structures. / Definimos variedades hipersato: estas variedades admiten tres estructuras del tipo Sasaki inequivalentes de tal manera que estas tres estructuras poseen un campo vectorial del tipo Reeb y una forma de contacto en común. Variedades que admiten estructura hipersato pueden considerarse como espacios totales de un fibrado principal U(1) del tipo orbifold, donde el espacio base admite una métrica singular hiperkahler. Discutimos tambien algunos resultados acerca del espacio moduli de variedades admitiendo estas estructuras.

We present (without proof) a version of Bott theorem for compact complex orbifolds with isolated singularities. Then we deduce some important consequences of this theorem, and nally we give some applications to holomorphic foliations on weighted projective spaces. / Presentamos (sin demostración) una versión del teorema de Bott para un orbifold complejo compacto y con singularidades aisladas. A continuación deducimos algunas consecuencias importantes de este teorema, y finalmente daremos algunas aplicaciones para foliaciones holomorfas en espacios proyectivos ponderados.

Comparison of Selected Topics of Political Communication of political parties in the Czech Republic: Professionalization, Personalization, Negativeness ROZMAJZL, Lukáš. Srovnání vybraných jevů politické komunikace u politických stran v ČR: profesionalizace, personalizace a negativita. Praha: Univerzita Karlova v Praze, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut komunikačních studií a žurnalistiky, 2011. 140 s. Vedoucí diplomové práce PhDr. Jan Křeček, Ph.D. This Diploma Thesis deals with three selected topics of political communication (Professionalization, Personalization, Negativeness) which are related to the transform of modern to postmodern political campaigns. Each of the topic is described on the theoretical base, then the historical development of using this technic by political parties is mentioned, and finally relevant criticism of this concept (related to the problems of the definition of the concept, or to the normative reflections on democratic political systém) is noticed. Comparative analysis of political communication made by Czech political parties in 2010 elections is made to identify the level of using each of three concepts mentioned above. The result is explicit that political parties in the Czech Republic differ one to another in using different technics of political communication towards...
