Procuraremos compreender a dinâmica desta instituição na perspectiva mais ampla do processo de crescimento e transformação urbana do município de Campinas, um dos pilares do desenvolvimento do complexo cafeeiro no Oeste Paulista. Assim, o processo de transição do escravismo para o trabalho livre, a intensificação dos fluxos de imigrantes, e a consolidação de Campinas como eixo de comunicação ferroviária do Oeste Paulista, são alguns dos principais elementos que permeiam o surgimento e a consolidação da Santa Casa de Misericórdia. Entendemos que, no momento de fundação da Irmandade da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Campinas, esta instituição era indispensável ao status de centro de progresso moral, cultural e material de que a cidade desfrutava. Nesse sentido, pesquisar como a instituição se estruturou para o atendimento das demandas sociais de Campinas durante o período imperial, o modo como constituiu seu patrimônio e geriu os seus recursos, sua interação com os grupos dominantes da sociedade local e as hierarquias sociais que estabeleceu nos serviços prestados à população propiciam ângulos estratégicos para compreender as transformações em curso na cidade de Campinas, uma espécie de microcosmo da transição capitalista em São Paulo / Mestrado / Historia Economica / Mestre em Desenvolvimento Econômico

A study of the hydraulic jump on a trapezoidal prismatic channel and roughened beds is presented. Extensive measurements have been made regarding the characteristics of hydraulic jumps as sequent depths, wing fluctuations, energy dissipation and jump length on artificially roughened beds for Froude numbers between 4.16 and 14.58. Three different types of prismatic roughness elements and nine different roughness patterns were installed separately on channel bottom and side walls throughout the experiments to obtain rough surfaces. Strip roughness elements were built from fiberglass sheets and implemented perpendicular to the flow direction. To avoid cavitation, roughness elements were designed in that way that the crests of the elements are not protruding into the flow. The founded properties were compared with the available data in literature and with the properties of hydraulic jump occurred on smooth bed.

Thermally stimulated current measurements are carried out on as-grown TlGaS2, TlGaSe2 and TlInS2 layered single crystals with the current owing perpendiclar to the c-axis in the wide temperature range of 10-300 K with various heating rates. Experimental evidence is found for the presence of three, two and one trapping centers for TlGaS2 , TlGaSe2 and TlInS2 crystals with activation energies 6, 12 and 26 / 98 and 130 / 12 meV respectively. We have determined the trap parameters using varous methods of analyis, and these agree well with each other. The retrapping process is negligible for these levels, as confirmed by good agreement between the experimental results and theoretical predictions of the model that assumes slow retrapping. Also the calculated values of the capture cross sections, attempt to escape frequencies and the concentration of the traps are reported.

Defesa: Curitiba, 06/07/2016 / Inclui referências : f. 89-92 / Resumo: No final do século IX inicia-se o que se convencionou chamar de período alfrediano na Inglaterra anglo-saxônica. Este configurou-se a partir de alguns fatores essenciais, a citar a necessidade de luta por sobrevivência do reino de Wessex ante aos invasores vikings, bem como o processo de resgate cultural e espiritual que marcou o reinado de Alfred, o Grande (871-899). Nesse contexto, reconhecidas obras da patrística cristã foram traduzidas do latim para o inglês antigo, numa conjuntura de mudanças sociais e culturais que eram construídas e legitimadas a partir de uma tradição reconhecida. A De Consolatione Philosophiae, escrita originalmente por Boécio no século VI, é uma obra caráter filosófico e literário, na qual são discutidas questões como a verdadeira felicidade, a sabedoria, o livre arbítrio e o destino mutável (wyrd). A versão alfrediana da mesma traz uma série de mudanças e adições, que visam atualizar o discurso autorizado de Boécio, adaptando-a às necessidades e expectativas do momento histórico vivido. Nossas chaves interpretativas para estudo de tal temática advém de uma linha historiográfica representada por pesquisadores como David Pratt e Nicole Discenza, os quais não apenas procuram observar as questões filosóficas presentes na obra alfrediana, mas sim analisar a relação entre esta e um contexto de mudanças no cenário político e cultural da Inglaterra medieval, o qual encaminha-se para a unificação inglesa do século X. Assim, procuraremos entender a própria identificação da obra em seu contexto, analisando as formas de abstração utilizadas na época para explicação da sociedade e, consequentemente, legitimação de uma prática real que está se construindo. Nosso objetivo é compreender o modo como as noções de história, unidade e providência presentes no texto contribuem para a criação de um ideal de identidade calcado na religião e na tradição latino cristã, o qual, em última instancia, fortalece um conceito de unidade do reino que começa a ser forjado a partir de Alfred. Palavras-chave: Inglaterra anglo-saxônica; Alfred; Legitimação / Abstract: At the end of the ninth century what historians have named as Alfredian period begins in Anglo-Saxon England. The main characteristics of such period are built upon essential factors, including the struggle for survival of the kingdom of Wessex facing Viking invaders, and the process of cultural and spiritual revival that marked the reign of Alfred the Great (871-899). In this context, recognized works of Christian Patristic were translated from Latin to Old English, in an environment of social and cultural changes that were constructed and legitimated based on a recognized tradition. De Consolatione Philosophiae, originally written by Boethius in the sixth century, is a philosophical and literary work, in which issues such as true happiness, wisdom, free will and the mutating fate (wyrd) are discussed. The Alfredian version of it brings a number of changes and additions, which aim to update the authorized speech by Boethius, adapting it to the needs and expectations of the historical moment. Our interpretive keys to study this theme come from a historiographical line represented by researchers like David Pratt and Nicole Discenza, which seek not only to observe philosophical issues presented in the Alfredian work, but to analyze the relation between this and the context of changes in the political and cultural landscape of medieval England, which is heading towards the English unification of the tenth century. Thus, we seek to understand the work identifying it in its context, analyzing the forms of abstraction used at the time for explanation of society and, consequently, legitimation of a royal practice that is being built. Our goal is to understand how the sense of history, unity and providence in the text contributes to the creation of an identity ideal based on religion and Christian Latin tradition, which ends up strengthening the concept of unity of the kingdom, which begins to be forged from Alfred onwards.

For the education of X-ray imaging, having a detailed knowledge on the interaction of radiation with matter is very important. Also the generation and detection concepts of the X-ray have to be grasped well. Sometimes it is not easy to visualize the interactions and assess the scheme in quantum physics level for the medical doctors and the engineers who have not studied on the modern physics in an appropriate level. This thesis aims to visualize these interactions, X-ray generation and detection, and computerized tomographic imaging. With these simulations, the user can 1) observe and analyze which type of interaction occurs under which condition, 2) understand the interaction cross sections and interaction results, 3) visualise X-ray generation and detection features, 4) clarify the method of image reconstruction, and the features affecting the image quality in computerized tomography system. This is accomplished by changing the controllable variables of the radiation and the systems with the provided interfaces. In this thesis, JAVA/FLASH based simulation interfaces are designed to easily assess the subject. The benefits of these software are their ability to execute the programs prepared on the World Wide Web media. The interfaces are accessible from anywhere, at any time.

Cette thèse s’attache à mettre en lumière les points de rencontre entre la philosophie épicurienne et l’épopée de Virgile. Si les relations entre la philosophie d’Épicure et l’œuvre de Virgile ont fait l’objet de nombreux développements, les correspondances et les liens mis en lumière concernent pour l’essentiel ses œuvres de jeunesse, soit les poèmes des Géorgiques et des Bucoliques. A contrario, on constate que dans l’épopée d’Énée, les empreintes de l’épicurisme se trouvent bien souvent mises au second plan.Chez Virgile comme chez Lucrèce et les épicuriens, ce qui a trait à la vision et au phénomène des songes tient une place importante. Cette étude envisage de montrer dans quelle mesure le traitement littéraire des différents épisodes de songes et d’apparitions qui rythment l’épopée virgilienne constitue un reflet des considérations épicuriennes qui ont participé à la formation philosophique du jeune poète. La façon dont il aborde le sujet des rêves et des apparitions au travers d’un récit épique codifié se trouve mise en parallèle avec les écrits d’Épicure et plus spécifiquement avec de De rerum natura de Lucrèce. Les questions épistémologiques en lien avec l’épicurisme, de même qu’une analyse du vocabulaire lié aux images et aux songes sont au cœur de ce travail.S’il y avait a priori un enjeu dans le choix d’appréhender une œuvre de l’ampleur de l’Énéide du point de vue de l’épicurisme et en se limitant aux seuls textes traitant des songes et des apparitions, l’analyse des vers de Virgile à la lumière du texte de Lucrèce permet de faire émerger des affinités tant au niveau du lexique que des thématiques traitées. Les empreintes d’une influence épicurienne dans l’épopée de Virgile sont, comme les songes et apparitions, d’une nature parfois ténue, mais si on veut bien y prêter attention, elles ne sont pour autant ni impalpables ni insaisissables. / This thesis aims to highlight links between the epicurean philosophy and Vergil’s epic. If the relations between Epicurus’ philosophy and Vergil’s work have been widely discussed, the highlighted interconnections and links mainly deal with his early works, ie. Georgics and Bucolics. On the other hand, it is possible to note that in Aeneas’ epic the footprint of epicureanism are often put on a second plan.Both as in Vergil and in Lucretius and the Epicureans, the topic dealing with the vision and the dream has an important status. This study aims to demonstrate the way the literary interpretation of the differents episodes of dreams and apparitions, that punctuate Vergil’s epic, is a mirror of the epicurean considerations that took part in the philosophical background of the young poet. The way he deals with the subject of the dreams and the apparitions through a codified epic story is compared with Epicurus’ writings and more specifically with Lucretius’ De rerum natura. Epistemological questions linked with the epicureanism, as well an analysis of the vocabulary refering to images and dreams are the main point of the study.through the epicureanism, limited to the texts dealing with dreams and apparitions, the analysis of Vergil’s verses thanks to Lucretius’ work allows us to highlight affinities in terms of the lexicon as well as the topics covered.The marks of an epicurean influence in Vergil’s epic are, as the dreams and the apparitions, of a tenuous essence, but if we look at this carefully, they are nevertheless neither intangible nor elusive.

Traditionally, Arthur Johnston has been judged proxime accessit to George Buchanan in the world of Scottish neo-Latin poetry, and particularly in the versification of the Book of Psalms. The thesis offers a counterpoint to that theme. More of his poetry came under scrutiny at the close of the nineteenth century, when an edition of his Parerga and Epigrammata of 1632, turned scholarly attention to his secular poems. This study examines the poems written between 1599 and 1622 during Johnston’s peregrenatio academica in Europe – poems which depict him at the moment of his emergence onto the public stage, and which offer insights into his life, and the worlds he occupied, during those years. Part one of the thesis will examine his early years and his move into the academic world in Aberdeen and at Heidelberg University. Part two will consider the years he passed as a teacher of philosophy at the Huguenot Academy in Sedan, the independent principality on the northern border of France. It will look, too, at the evidence of his year spent in Padua, where he studied to become a physician. Part three will focus on the years 1619-22 when his longest secular poems were composed. He wrote and published with an eye to achieving a post in the medical circle around James VI and I. The thesis concludes by considering the retreat he made from Europe and London to his home in Aberdeen, and looks briefly at one of the small poems he wrote in 1623-24. Throughout, themes emerge of Johnston’s irenic preferences, and his response to the disturbance to intellectual life brought about by Calvinist division, and by the crisis heralded by the Bohemian Revolt.
