This thesis consists of annotations and an introduction which constitute an edition of Richard Bernard’s Ruths Recompence (1628). This edition aims to provide a more modern and accurate (though clarified) text than the nineteenth-century edition edited by Alexander Balloch Grosart (1865). It also sets out to offer a more comprehensive interpretation with an emphasis on a subject prominent in Bernard’s commentary passed over in silence by Grosart, that is, the issues relating to women’s conduct raised by Ruth’s approach to Boaz alone by night in Ruth chapter 3. The text of this edition has been produced by applying Optical Character Recognition to a copy of the 1628 edition in my possession. In presenting the text, an editorial policy has been consistently followed, which is described in the Textual Introduction. The main objective is to reproduce the original as closely as possible at the same time as making the work accessible to the modern reader. In the early modern period much was written about women’s conduct and how they ought to behave. Ruths Recompence provides a specifically puritan perspective on this issue. In the introduction, various kinds of literature about women in the early modern period, such as conduct books and lives of women, are surveyed in order to show the context in which Bernard addressed the conduct of Ruth and Naomi. The editorial framework also analyses Bernard’s developing and to some extent censorious evaluation of the women’s behaviour. Another subject relating to women’s conduct addressed, chiefly in the introduction, is breast-feeding. Bernard’s views are related to those expressed by the preceding commentator on Ruth, Edward Topsell, and by a contemporary woman – the Countess of Lincoln. The editorial framework draws on the work of commentators on Ruth preceding Bernard, in the ancient and medieval as well as the early modern periods. This reference to previous commentators is a significant part of the edition because it shows where Bernard’s views are original. In the introduction biographical information about Bernard himself, in particular, and also the earlier commentators is provided. A tradition of commentaries on Ruth is thus depicted. It is argued that Bernard’s significant contribution to this tradition is his application of his own theory of preaching, set out in his The Faithfull Shepheard (first edition 1607), to Ruths Recompence. The present edition interprets various other aspects of the commentary, in particular, those relating to Bernard’s theological position as a puritan clergyman who was involved with separatism early in his career but later published attacks on separatists and conformed uneasily with the Church of England. In the commentary, he criticises Roman Catholicism, and expresses views on providence, predestination and the Anabaptists. These subjects are commented on in the editorial framework. Other subjects to which this edition draws the reader’s attention include Bernard’s repeated reference to hierarchy in society and his admiration of the simple, primitive legal system depicted in Ruth. The introduction concludes with a glance at modern feminist scholars’ writing on Ruth. The present edition aspires to make a contribution to feminist interpretations of the early modern period, and it can be recognised that many of the feminist features perceived in the biblical narrative by modern scholars are far from the concerns of Bernard, who was in most respects a typically patriarchal clergyman of his time.

Σκοπός αυτής της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η δημιουργία βιβλιοθήκης ηλεκτρικών συμβόλων, στο σχεδιαστικό λογισμικό AutoCAD, ώστε να καλύψει το κενό που παρουσιάζει η κανονική έκδοση του προγράμματος, η οποία δεν ενσωματώνει τα ηλεκτρικά σύμβολα που πρέπει να χρησιμοποιούνται στην Ελλάδα. Η βιβλιοθήκη περιέχει τα σύμβολα ασθενών ρευμάτων και αυτοματισμών τα οποία πρέπει να χρησιμοποιούνται σήμερα στα ηλεκτρολογικά σχέδια από όλους όσους ασχολούνται με το θέμα. Το πρότυπο για τα ηλεκτρικά σύμβολα που χρησιμοποιείται στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, είναι το πρότυπο ΕΛΟΤ EN 60617. Τα ηλεκτρικά σύμβολα τα οποία είναι βασισμένα σε πρότυπα, πρέπει πάντα να τηρούν κάποιους σχεδιαστικούς κανόνες. Η κανονική έκδοση του προγράμματος AutoCAD δεν έχει καθόλου βιβλιοθήκες ηλεκτρικών συμβόλων, και για κάποιον ο οποίος χρειάζεται τα ηλεκτρικά σύμβολα του προτύπου ΕΝ 60617, πρέπει αναγκαστικά να τα αγοράσει μέσω διαδικτύου. Το πρώτο κεφάλαιο της διπλωματικής εργασίας ασχολείται με την τυποποίηση και τα πρότυπα. Γίνεται αναφορά στους οργανισμούς τυποποίησης και στις ηλεκτροτεχνικές επιτροπές, που αφορούν την Ελλάδα. Τέλος γίνεται μια αναφορά στα ηλεκτρικά σύμβολα που πρέπει να χρησιμοποιούνται σήμερα. Το δεύτερο κεφάλαιο ασχολείται με την περιγραφή του σχεδιαστικού προγράμματος AutoCAD. Γίνεται περιγραφή των λειτουργιών του AutoCAD και της χρήσης των εργαλείων που πρέπει οπωσδήποτε να γνωρίζει κάποιος για να μπορεί να σχεδιάζει ηλεκτρικά σύμβολα τα οποία θα χρησιμοποιούνται στην δημιουργία βιβλιοθήκης και για τον σχεδιασμό ηλεκτρολογικού σχεδίου. Το τρίτο κεφάλαιο ασχολείται με την ακριβή περιγραφή του σχεδιασμού των ηλεκτρικών συμβόλων, δηλαδή τη μεταφορά του ηλεκτρικού συμβόλου από το χαρτί του προτύπου ΕΝ 60617 στον υπολογιστή. Γίνεται όσο το δυνατόν καλύτερος σχεδιασμός, τηρώντας κατά γράμμα τις σχεδιαστικές απαιτήσεις του προτύπου. Το τέταρτο κεφάλαιο ασχολείται με τον τρόπο προσαρμογής του μενού του προγράμματος AutoCAD στις ανάγκες της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας. Επίσης γίνεται αναφορά στον τρόπο δημιουργίας της βιβλιοθήκης των ηλεκτρικών συμβόλων ο οποίος απαιτεί την δημιουργία κατάλληλου κώδικα. Το πέμπτο κεφάλαιο ασχολείται με τις Εσωτερικές Ηλεκτρικές Εγκαταστάσεις ασθενών ρευμάτων και αυτοματισμών. Γίνεται μια αναφορά στο τι περιλαμβάνει η κάθε ηλεκτρική εγκατάσταση παρουσιάζοντας το και με φωτογραφικό υλικό. Τέλος το έκτο κεφάλαιο ασχολείται με την τυπική εφαρμογή της βιβλιοθήκης των ηλεκτρικών συμβόλων τα οποία έχουν κατασκευαστεί στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία.

The normal version does not include the electrical symbols that must be used in Greece. The library contains symbols of weak currents and automations to be currently used in electrical drawings by all people who are related to that subject. The standard of the electrical symbols used in this thesis is based on the standards of ΕΛΟΤ ΕΝ 60617. These electrical symbols that are based on standards must always follow some basic design rules. The standard version of AutoCAD has no electrical symbol libraries, so someone who needs these symbols of EN 60617, then he must necessarily buy them online or by specific WebPages. The first chapter of this thesis deals with the standardization and standards. Some standardizations and the Electro‐technical Commission, relating to Greece, are also mentioned. Furthermore, there is a reference to the electrical symbols to be used nowadays. The second chapter deals with description of the design program called AutoCAD. There is a description of the functions of AutoCAD and how to use the tools of it, so that anyone who is familiar to those can be able to design electrical symbols that are used to create the library and the electrical plan. The third chapter is about an accurate description of the design of electrical symbols namely the transfer of the electric symbol from the paper based on the EN 60 617 to the computer. It is possible better design according to the requirements of the standard. The fourth chapter refers to how to customize the menu of AutoCAD to the needs of this thesis. Additionally, it refers on how to create the code of such a library with electric symbols. The fifth chapter deals with the internal low voltage electrical installations and automation. It refers to what’s involved in electrical installation and that is presented by photos. Finally, the sixth chapter deals with the formal application of the library of electrical symbols which have been built in this thesis. These symbols will be implemented in housing after the electrical plan of the house is created.

The Book of Leviticus has been described as the ‘first hygiene text’ based upon the observation that Leviticus contains a great deal of matter relating to two conditions. The first is צרעת translated in the Septuagint as λέπρα and confused in English translations with modern leprosy. The second, זוב was misused as a generic term for a whole spectrum of genital discharges. Apart from these, Leviticus contains nothing of a ‘medical’ nature. The question arises, as to whether these terms implied any sort of medical context or whether their only significance was as markers of ritual impurity to the priesthood. In Chapter 1 this question is developed and an hypothesis arrived at. A hermeneutic and methodology for the study are introduced and discussed. Chapter 2 is a review of the state of developing ‘medical practice’ in the Ancient Near East. Chapter 3 is concerned with the ideology of the levitical priesthood and their worldview in particular in respect of the establishment and operation of practice of ritual. Chapter 4 treats on the Levitical notion of impurity considered from both taxonomical and sociological standpoints and these approaches are discussed in the context of the present study. Chapters 5 and 6 each contain a detailed ‘medical exegesis’ of chapters 13 and 15 of Leviticus dealing with צרעת and .זוב Chapter 7 contains a similar treatment of the biblical notion of blemish and addresses the question of whether this was a mark of impurity like צרעת and .זוב In Chapter 8 embodies idea of contagion in the context of the ‘hygienic’ theme in Leviticus and the priests’ concern with what might imperil sacred objects. Chapter 9 employs context logometrical analysis in a detailed study of the word צרעת and whether there was, in Ancient Israel, any relationship, adverse or synergic between the activities of the priests in preserving purity, and early healthcare practice. Chapter 10 is a discussion of how צרעת has been seen from a theological perspective. While the exact nature of צרעת remains unknown, its biblical context — levitical and non levitical — is considered in relation to modern theories of the relationship of the impurity laws, sin and the wholeness↔ healthcare dynamic. Chapter 11 is a presentation of the conclusions that may be drawn from this study in respect of the wholeness↔ holiness paradigm posited in the hypothesis. It is concluded that there is no clear evidence to suggest that the priesthood saw צרעת and זוב in any terms commensurate with modern pathology and clinical medicine. Consequently it would be wrong to suppose, as many authors have, that in the levitical context, countermeasures to these conditions, though diagnostic, were hygienic in the modern, medical, — they were not, nor were they ever envisaged to be. That some of these measures subsequently found a significant place in preventive medicine appears to have been both fortuitous and fortunate.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / This thesis characterises and discusses two continuous coastal Southern Hemispheric (SH) atmospheric radon (222Rn) signals. Large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns are important components of the climate system implicated in driving catastrophic events such as extreme droughts and mega-wildfires and radon measurements at coastal sites provide valuable information on interactions of terrestrial and oceanic air masses on regional to hemispheric scales. The main collaborating SH atmospheric observatories in this study are located at Cape Grim (CGO, Tasmania, 1992-2017) and Cape Point (CPO, South Africa, 1999-2017). The radon signal from a high-altitude remote island oceanic site in the Northern Hemisphere Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO, Hawaii, 2004-2015) is also incorporated for comparison purposes. The CGO radon signal is the longest and most sensitive in current existence. A variety of statistical, spectral, trend, back-trajectory and trajectory density methods are utilized in this study to illuminate features of the datasets on multiple scales. Strongly skewed radon distributions occur, with a large number of events falling into a compact range of low values (corresponding to marine air-masses) and a smaller number of events spread over a wide range of high-radon values (continental air-masses). Making use of Fast Fourier Transform power spectral analysis, prominent periodicities are identified on diurnal and annual scales. Inter-annual variations in seasonal and diurnal radon and meteorological characteristics, indicating changes in the continental/oceanic atmospheric mixing state, are evident especially during the period from 2012 to 2017, perhaps associated with the strong El-Niño southern oscillation centred on 2015. A slow but systematic decline in CGO and CPO radon levels is evident over the dataset, associated with fewer continental and more marine air-masses impacting the coastal stations. The long-term trends observed in the atmospheric radon signal may indicate changes in SH circulation patterns over time, perhaps associated with climate change effects.

No. of bitstreams: 0 / Neste trabalho foi avaliada a dose efetiva recebida pelos trabalhadores da Gerência de Rejeitos Radioativos do IPEN devido à inalação de 222Rn nos galpões de armazenamento de rejeitos radioativos tratados e não tratados. As concentrações de 222Rn no interior dos galpões foram determinadas por meio da técnica de detecção passiva com detectores de traços nucleares do estado sólido (SSNTD). O detector utilizado foi o CR-39 inserido em uma câmara de difusão do tipo NRPB. Foram monitorados um total de 12 pontos internos e 1 ponto externo no galpão de rejeitos radioativos tratados G4 e 13 pontos no galpão de rejeitos radioativos não tratados G3, durante um período de 11 meses, entre junho de 2012 e maio de 2013. As concentrações variaram de 0,73 ± 0,08 e 4,55 ± 0,16 kBqm-3 entre os períodos de monitoramento no galpão G4 e entre 0,61 ± 0,07 e 2,94 ± 0,12 kBqm-3 no galpão G3. A dose efetiva devido à inalação de 222Rn no interior dos galpões de rejeitos radioativos foi calculada de acordo com os procedimentos da Comissão Internacional de Proteção Radiológica (ICRP) a partir de um fator de conversão de dose, da concentração média do 222Rn no ar e do tempo de exposição dos indivíduos. Os valores de doses apresentados são uma média das concentrações entre os períodos de monitoramento que variam 15,70 mSva-1 no G4 e de 9,27 mSva-1 no G3, sendo que em um dos períodos obteve-se valores superiores ao estabelecidos pelo órgão regulador (CNEN) e recomendados pela Comissão Internacional de Proteção Radiológica (ICRP) de 20 mSva-1 para indivíduos ocupacionalmente expostos, indicando a necessidade de medidas mitigadoras. Cabe, contudo, informar que foi considerada uma hipótese bastante conservativa de 2000 horas de trabalho no local. / Dissertação (Mestrado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP
