OPSOMMING Heteroseksuele interaksie word deur adverteerders in televisieadvertensies aangewend en die doel van die studie was om te bepaal hoe kykers dit ervaar. Data is ingesamel deur `n aantal advertensies aan skoolkinders te vertoon waarna onderhoude gevoer is om vas te stel hoe die kinders die advertensies ervaar het. Daar is van konsepte vanuit die analitiese sielkunde gebruik gemaak om kodes te identifiseer. Die navorser het deur die tegniek van inhoudsontleding die voorkoms van manifestasies van die kontraseksuele komplekse in die onderhoude bestudeer. Daar is bevind dat die erotiese aspekte van die konraseksuele komplekse by voorkeur in die bestudeerde advertensies aangewend is en dat deelnemers daarop gelet het. SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to investigate a style of advertising from the perspective of the Analytical Psychology. The style involves the depiction of a young man and woman in a state of interaction with one another. In an attempt to understand how the viewer experiences this, concepts from the Analytical Psychology of C.G. Jung were used. Jung claimed that the psyche contains constructs which he termed archetypes. Archetypes are ideas and predispositions, organisms are born possessing these. If the theory is correct, it can be assumed that these constructs will influence human behaviour. The archetypes responsible for initiating heterosexual interest are called the anima and the animus. The prevalence of different aspects of these in four television commercials as experienced by participants during interviews was studied by means of content analysis. Sexual manifestations were found to be the most prominently used aspects of the anima and the animus to market the advertised products. / PSYCHOLOGY / MA(SS) (PSYCHOLOGY)

La tesis pretende esclarecer los presupuestos metafísicos centrales de la presentación que Aristóteles hace del intelecto en el De anima. Para ello se examinan principalmente los capítulos 4 y 5 del libro III del De anima, capítulos dedicados explícitamente a presentar la naturaleza del intelecto, de su actividad —la intelección— y de los objetos inteligibles —las formas—. La propuesta del trabajo es que la presentación del νοῦς en el alma se apoya en un cierto modo de comprender el acto y la potencia como modos de ser, aplicado al ámbito del intelecto y lo inteligible. Los sentidos de acto y potencia que se emplean en este trabajo se basan en un estudio de ciertos pasajes de la Física y la Metafísica que muestran la complejidad e importancia de dichos conceptos en la metafísica aristotélica. Dicho estudio permite mostrar que el acto y la potencia son presupuestos en el De anima en toda su complejidad y esclarecer su uso en el tratado permite comprender mejor el alma en general y el intelecto en particular. Esta interpretación pretende ofrecer una lectura en la que las distintas partes del De anima sean coherentes entre sí, así como con otros textos aristotélicos en los que se trata el tema del intelecto.

Peu satisfaite des concepts généralement mentionnés lorsqu’il s’agit d’écrire sur les films réalisés en stop-motion, je propose d’analyser un corpus de quatre films réalisés par un duo estonien peu connu, les réalisatrices Jelena Girlin et Mari-Liis Bassovskaja, en ancrant mon discours dans une recherche plus large sur l’intimité et la sensorialité en art. J’effleure, par l’entremise d’une revue de littérature, le paradoxe d’animer l’inanimé et l’idée du umheimlich freudien, prégnants dans les écrits substantiels autour du cinéma d’animation en volume. Après avoir démontré que l’œuvre de Girlin Bassovskaja s’incrit dans le domaine de l’intime, j’approfondis l’analyse en m’appuyant sur les théories de la visualité haptique appliquée aux films. Je découvre le corpus à la lumière de ces théories, et évoque l’idée du regard caressant du spectateur vers le film, mais aussi de sa réversibilité. De plus, en tant que réalisatrice-animatrice de court-métrages d’animation, les théories susmentionnées outillent ma pensée afin de décrire ma volonté quasi obsessionnelle de rendre l’intimité tangible par une animation sensuelle en pâte à modeler sur verre. / Not satisfied with regular concepts usually used when one speaks about stop-motion animation, I suggest another way to discuss about animation films while analyzing four short films made by estonian directors Jelena Girlin and Mari-Liis Bassovskaja, based on a wider research on intimacy and sensory perception in art. I first explore, through a review of literature, the paradox of animating the inanimate and the Freudian umheimlich, substantially recurring in writings about stop motion films. Having demonstrated that the work of Girlin Bassovskaja be seen against the domain of intimacy, I deepen my analysis of the films by relying on theories of haptic visuality. I discover the body of works in the light of these theories, and evoke the idea of a caressing gaze from the viewer to the film, but also its reversibility. In addition, as a filmmaker creator of short animated films, the above theories are feeding my reflexions and serve to describe my almost obsessive desire to make tangible intimacy with sensual animated plasticine on glass.

A melhoria na maciez da carne bovina através de suplementação de vitamina D3 na dieta tem sido desafiada por relatos de ineficácia do tratamento pré-abate e ainda possíveis impactos negativos no desempenho animal. A vitamina D3 pode ser sintetizada no animal por ação de radiação ultravioleta (UV) da luz solar, atingindo produção máxima em condições de baixa latitude. Este trabalho teve o objetivo de verificar a possível interação da suplementação de vitamina D3 na dieta com a exposição à luz solar dos animais na modificação de variáveis de desempenho e implicações na qualidade de carne e carcaça de bovinos Bos indicus. Foram confinados 41 machos castrados Nelore (µ=411±38 kg) por 45 dias, sendo divididos em 6 tratamentos: T1) Sem suplementação de vitamina D3 (SV) ou sombrite (SS); T2) SV e com sombrite (CS - filtração de 50% de UV); T3) Com 2x106 UI de vitamina D3 (CV2) por 2 dias consecutivos pré-abate + SS; T4) CV2 + CS; T5) CV por 8 dias consecutivos pré-abate (CV8) + SS; e T6) CV8 + CS. Mensurações postmortem foram realizadas no músculo Longissimus dorsi. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados com arranjo fatorial 3 (dosagens de vitamina D3) x 2 (condições de exposição à UV). Para as variáveis de desempenho animal nenhum efeito (P>0,05) foi encontrado. Menor espessura de gordura (P=0,09) e peso de carcaça quente (P=0,08) e resfriada (P=0,10) foram verificadas para T6 comparado com T5 (1,8±0,6mm; 240,5±3,0 e 236,6±3,0kg vs 3,4±0,6mm, 251,2±3,2 e 246,1±3,2kg, respectivamente). Concentrações de cálcio ionizado plasmático no início e final da suplementação com vitamina não diferiram (P>0,05) entre os tratamentos. A dosagem CV8 aumentou a fragmentação (P=0,09) em animais SS comparado aos CS (22,3±1,5 vs 18,3±1,5; respectivamente). Entretanto, os animais SS apresentaram menores concentrações de cálcio muscular total (P<0,05) quando comparados aos CS. Nenhum efeito foi verificado em força de cisalhamento, sendo as diferenças observadas (P<0,05) somente para os dias de maturação 1, 7 e 21 (10,4±0,5; 8,8±0,5 e 6,8±0,5 kgf, respectivamente). Os animais CS apresentaram carcaças com menores temperaturas (15,07±0,29ºC; P=0,05) e maiores perdas totais (28,9±0,5%; P=0,06). A dosagem CV8 foi eficiente para aumentar os valores de L* (P=0,065), a* (P=0,02) e b* (P<0,001) comparado à CV2 (32,3±0,5; 17,0±0,4 e 4,5±0,2 vs 30,5±0,5; 15,8±0,4 e 3,5±0,2; respectivamente). Para estes valores, a dosagem CV2 não diferiu (P>0,05) da dosagem SV (31,6±0,5; 15,5±0,4 e 3,3±0,2). Animais SS (34,5±0,5) apresentaram maiores valores (P<0,05) de L* às 24 horas postmortem do que CS (32,6±0,5). Suplementação de vitamina D3 na dieta e exposição solar não afetam desempenho animal e maciez da carne. Vitamina D3 isoladamente pode alterar o padrão de cor da carne. A exposição à luz solar pode também melhorar a luminosidade da carne e interagir com a suplementação de vitamina D3 na definição de fragmentação miofibrilar. / The beef tenderness improvement through the vitamin D3 supplementation in the diet has been challenged by inefficient results after pre-slaughter treatment and additionally possible negative impacts on the animal performance. The vitamin D3 can be synthesized in the animal through the action of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sunlight, reaching maximal production at low latitudes. This work aimed to verify the possible interaction between vitamin D3 supplementation in the diet and sunlight exposure on the animal performance and their implications on the carcass and beef quality in Bos indicus. Forty-one Nellore castrated bulls (µ=411±38 kg) were feedlot for 45 days, after being assigned to 6 treatments: T1) No vitamin D3 supplementation (NV) or shade (NS); T2) NV with shade (WS 50% UV filtration); T3) With 2x106 UI of vitamin D3 for 2 days consecutive pre-slaughter (WV2) + NS; T4) WV2 + WS; T5) With 2x106 UI of vitamin D3 for 8 days consecutive pre-slaughter (WV8)+ NS; and T6) WV8 + WS. The postmortem measures were taken in the Longissimus dorsi muscle. The experimental design used was completely randomized blocks with 3 (vitamin D3 levels) x 2 (sunlight exposure conditions) factorial arrangements. There were no effect (P>0.05) on the performance variables. Lower fat thickness (P=0.09), hot (P=0.08) and cold (P=0.10) carcass weight were found for T6 compared to T5 (1.8±0.6mm; 240.5±3.0 and 236.6±3.0kg vs 3.4±0.6mm, 251.2±3.2 and 246.1±3.2kg, respectively). Plasma ionized calcium concentrations did not differ (P>0.05) between the treatments either before or after vitamin D3 supplementation. The WV8 level increased the fragmentation (P=0.09) in NS animals with regard to the WS (22.3±1.5 vs 18.3±1.5, respectively). However, the NS animals presented the lower total muscle calcium concentration (P<0.05) with relation to the WS. There were no effect on the shear force, being only observed differences (P<0.05) at aging times of 1, 7 and 21 days (10.4±0.5; 8.8±0.5 and 6.8±0.5 kgf, respectively). The WS animals showed the lower carcass temperatures (15.07±0.29ºC; P=0.05) and the higher total losses (28.9±0.5%; P=0.06). The WV8 level was efficient to increase L* (P=0.065), a* (P=0.02) and b* (P<0.001) compared to WV2 (32.3±0.5; 17.0±0.4 and 4.5±0.2 vs 30.5±0.5; 15.8±0.4 and 3.5±0.2; respectively). For these values, the WV2 level did not differ (P>0.05) in relation to NV (31.6±0.5; 15.5±0.4 and 3.3±0.2). NS (34.5±0.5) animals presented the higher (P<0.05) L* values at 24 hours postmortem than WS (32.6±0.5). Vitamin D3 supplementation in the diet and sunlight exposure did not affect animal performance and beef tenderness. The vitamin D3 can alter beef lightness. The sunlight exposure can also improve the beef lightness and interact with the vitamin D3 supplementation to define the myofibrillar fragmentation.

In this way, the research redeems the historic of cinematographic language use, focusing its potentialities. Besides, it exposes positive educational experiences of this joint, aiming mainly, the pedagogical practice and its consequences on the student's background. Three studies examples will be discussed herein, divided into two classes. The first one is education for the media, which aims the critical development of the point of view on the animation movies, as shown by Cineduc?RJ in the animation study of "As Bicicletas de Belleville" and "Meow". In the second class, the education is discussed with the media which promote the change the way we look through the animation creation by students. Anima Escola-RJ and N?cleo de Cinema de Anima??o de Campinas (Anima School and Center of Animation and Movies of Campinas) work with animation workshops including students from the public school net. We conclude that this art stimulates the development of personal abilities, the valorization of individual expression, the power of working in group, aiming the structure of the citizens through the art of animation movies. / Este estudo, inserido na linha de pesquisa Pr?ticas Pedag?gicas e Forma??o do educador, mostra a for?a da arte da anima??o como meio did?tico e suas conseq??ncias positivas na forma??o do aluno, que vive imerso em uma sociedade da informa??o e do conhecimento e que prima por uma nova vis?o de educa??o: de aprender a pensar, aprender a aprender e aprender a fazer. Assim, a pesquisa resgata o hist?rico do uso da linguagem cinematogr?fica na escola, enfatizando suas potencial idades. Em seguida, exp?e experi?ncias educacionais positivas desta uni?o, visando principalmente a reflex?o sobre a pr?tica pedag?gica e suas conseq??ncias para a forma??o do aluno. Ser?o tratados tr?s exemplos de estudo, divididos em duas categorias. A primeira delas ? educa??o para os meios que visa o desenvolvimento cr?tico do olhar sobre o cinema de anima??o, como mostram os exemplos do Cineduc-RJ sobre o estudo das anima??es "As Bicicletas de Belleville" e "Meow". Na segunda categoria, discute-se a educa??o com os meios que promove a criticidade atrav?s da produ??o de anima??es pelos alunos. O Anima Escola-RJ e o N?cleo de Cinema de Anima??o de Campinas trabalham com oficinas de anima??o envolvendo alunos da rede p?blica. Conclui-se que esta arte estimula o desenvolvimento de habilidades pessoais, a valoriza??o da express?o individual, a for?a do trabalho em grupo, visando a forma??o do cidad?o atrav?s da arte do cinema de anima??o.

Through this methodology, we can drive the facial animation of avatars using the motion style of a particular actor, through the performance of any user. Thus, the avatar can express the facial movements that the user is performing, but replicating the particularities of the actor s facial movements, based on his or her Persona. In order to build the facial motion style model of an actor, we used points tracked on image sequences of the actor performance as input data. We also used a database of threedimensional facial expressions, annotated according to the Facial Action Coding System (FACS). Principal components analysis was performed using these data. Afterwards, artificial neural networks were trained to recognize action units both in the actor and user s performances. Given these classifiers, we can automatically recognize action units in the user s expression and find the equivalent parameters in the actor s motion style model. The result of the process is the provision of such parameters to facial animation systems. The prototype developed as proof of concept has been used in case studies, whose results are discussed. Future work are also addressed. / Esse trabalho apresenta uma metodologia, denominada Persona, para aprendizado e transfer?ncia do estilo de movimento facial de atores para a anima??o de avatares. Por meio dessa metodologia, pode-se guiar a anima??o das faces de avatares com o estilo de movimento de um ator espec?fico, atrav?s da atua??o de usu?rios quaisquer. Dessa forma, o avatar poder? expressar os movimentos faciais que o usu?rio executa, por?m replicando as particularidades dos movimentos faciais do ator, por meio da utiliza??o da Persona. Para constru??o do estilo de movimento facial dos atores, utilizouse como dados de entrada pontos da face obtidos por rastreamento em sequ?ncias de imagens e informa??es presentes em bancos de dados de express?es faciais tridimensionais, anotadas de acordo com o Sistema de Codifica??o A??es Facial (FACS). Esses dados foram submetidos ? an?lise de componentes principais e, ent?o, utilizados para treinamento de redes neurais artificiais. Com esses classificadores podem-se reconhecer automaticamente as unidades de a??o na express?o do usu?rio e encontrar os par?metros equivalentes no estilo de movimento do ator. O resultado do processo ? o fornecimento desses par?metros para sistemas de anima??o. O prot?tipo desenvolvido como prova de conceito foi utilizado em casos de estudo, cujos resultados s?o apresentados. Indica??es de trabalhos futuros tamb?m ser?o discutidas.

The examination brings to life the tensions all too real in which the town of São Paulo was awash with early in the 20th century a time of fast urbanization and structuring of the industrial system and closely follows the spreading of political ideas and the outset of clashes between unions and employers. After depicting a general view of feminine, feminist and working class woman press, the study concentrated on the analysis of Anima e Vita and attested to the consistency of subjects covered and themes chosen, such as women s awareness of their role in society, anticlericalism, free love, marriage, education, work, and maternity/family. Ernestina Lesina s articles draw a clear profile of the socialist ideology to the indoctrination of which she devoted her efforts, emphasizing women s self-esteem and awareness, along with the vital importance of the fight to conquer their rights / A dissertação analisa os escritos propagados por Ernestina Lesina, imigrante socialista italiana, cuja atuação política consistiu precipuamente em defender a causa das mulheres operárias mediante a participação no debate de ideias, estimulado pelo Anima e Vita, jornal que dirigia. A investigação restaura o universo de tensões vivido na cidade de São Paulo no início do século XX, momento de urbanização intensa e estruturação do sistema fabril, acompanhado pela disseminação das ideias políticas e a gênese das lutas operárias. Recompondo o cenário da imprensa feminina, feminista e operária, privilegiou-se a análise do semanário Anima e Vita, observando a circularidade de seus discursos e a valorização de temas como compreensão das mulheres de seu papel histórico, anticlericalismo, amor livre, casamento, educação, trabalho e maternidade/família. Os artigos de Ernestina Lesina delineiam um perfil do ideário socialista a cuja propagação ela se dedicou, enfatizando a conscientização das mulheres e a importância fundamental de lutarem pelos seus direitos
