The purpose of this research is to contribute to the identification of appropriate forest tenure and governance designs that are in congruence with Aboriginal values, interests and rights. The research is highly relevant to current societal deliberations on sustainable forest management as well as to the future of the forest sector in Canada. First Nations culture and ways of life are intimately and inextricably tied to the land. Some eighty percent of Canada’s First Nations communities are situated in productive forest regions (NAFA 2003). Even so, First Nations have been largely excluded from forest development and planning activities. Furthermore, the provincial policy emphasis on industrial timber production may not be consistent with Aboriginal forest values. This community-based research takes a participatory approach to forest policy analysis. The work is conducted in partnership with the Stellat’en First Nation and Carrier Sekani Tribal Council in central British Columbia. Stellat’en criteria for forest tenure and governance are identified in a series of workshops and interviews. These criteria are then applied in the analysis of four alternative models: the Community Ecosystem Trust, the Gitanyow joint land use planning model, BC Community Forest Agreements and Aboriginal reservations in the United States. The results indicated that Stellat’en have three main goals regarding forest tenure and governance: protect the traditional territory for future generations, protect Stellat’en culture and support Stellat’en economic self-determination. Implementation of the Stellat’en vision calls for a greater emphasis on ecological and cultural values in forest management, devolution of decision making authority to First Nations, reallocation of harvesting rights and redistribution of wealth generated by forest activities. The Stellat’en perspective emphasizes co-existence and stewardship. Evaluation of the four alternative models provided useful insights for progressive tenure and governance design. All four models had positive aspects to contribute, as well as shortcomings. The models are not mutually exclusive. Since each model addresses different management and institutional functions, they could be combined into a new system for the future.

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Lucio Campos Costa / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa De Pós-Graduação em Ensino, História, Filosofia das Ciências e Matemática, 2015. / O currículo do Bacharelado em Ciência e Tecnologia (BC&T) condiciona uma série de cursos oferecidos pela Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC) a um conjunto de disciplinas obrigatórias de caráter introdutório. Observa-se que, destas, as que tratam conteúdos de Física, manifestam problemas de desmotivação em estudantes e professores, refletindo-se, nos primeiros, em altas taxas de reprovação e desistência e, nos últimos, desinteresse para ministrarem turmas destas disciplinas. Somado a isso, questões relativas ao projeto pedagógico da universidade (PP da UFABC), como ausência de pré-requisitos e turmas com um elevado número de estudantes, parecem contribuir para o aprofundamento deste quadro que, no caso dos cursos de Licenciatura, ainda é agravado, uma vez que a legislação vigente versa sobre a terminalidade e integralidade próprias que as Licenciaturas passaram a ter em relação aos Bacharelados. À luz destas questões e partindo-se da hipótese de que o entendimento destas problemáticas pode estar associado a uma pluralidade de interpretações do PP da UFABC. Este trabalho buscou investigar as representações que professores e estudantes vêm construindo a respeito do impacto do BC&T no curso de Licenciatura em Física. A escolha deste curso se deu em função do grau acentuado com que neste os problemas mencionados se manifestam. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com professores e questionários (com questões abertas e fechadas) aos estudantes. A categorização e análise dos dados foram efetuadas através da Teoria de Análise Textual Discursiva desenvolvida por Moraes e Galiazzi. / The Bachelor¿s Degree in Science and Technology (BC&T) requires students from number of courses offered by the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) to complete a set of mandatory subjects of an introductory character. It has been observed that from these subjects, those related to Physics show problems related to both students and professors¿ lack of motivation. This is reflected in high failure and waiver rates at the beginning of the courses and a lack of interest from professors to teach these classes towards the end of the course. Added to this there are issues related to the University¿s pedagogical project (UFABC¿s PP), such as an absence of prerequisites and classes with high student numbers which seem to intensify this condition. In the case of the Teaching Degree this is aggravated since the current legislation delimitates the inherent integrity that the Teaching Degree has in contrast to the Bachelor¿s Degree. By highlighting these issues and starting with the hypothesis that the understanding of these affairs can be associated with many interpretations of the UFABC¿s Pedagogical Project this thesis seeks to investigate professors and students¿ representations that have been built around the BC&T¿s impact in the Teaching Degree in Physics course. This course was chosen due to the high level of aforementioned problems associated with it. From a methodological perspective, the data was collected using semi-structured interviews with professors and questionnaires (containing open and closed questions) with students. The data categorization and analyzes was performed using the Textual Discourse Analyses Theory developed by Moraes and Galiazzi.

A presente pesquisa de doutorado pretende levantar, catalogar e examinar os vestígios arqueológicos dos contextos funerários, datados entre o intervalo do século XI ao VIII a.C. nos principais sítios da região da Argólida (Mapas 1, 2 e 3), Argos, Tirinto, Asine, Micenas, Náuplia e Lerna. Comparando tais dados entre si, e discutindo-os a partir de fundamentos teórico-metodológicos da Arqueologia das Práticas Mortuárias, objetivamos, por fim, levantar considerações sobre os costumes funerários dessa área, revelando possíveis padrões de enterramento e de comportamento sócio-cultural inseridos nas mudanças políticas ocorridas em um período de longa duração, principalmente, durante o período denominado de Alto Arcaísmo, o século VIII a.C., com o processo de formação da pólis argiva. / This thesis intends to gather, catalogue and analyze the archaeological data from the funerary contexts, dated from the XI to the VIII centuries BC in the main sites of the Argive plain (Maps 1, 2 and 3). Finally, it is also our aim to compare the data collected and discuss them through the theoretical and methodological basis of the Archaeology of Mortuary Practices trying to reach some questions and considerations about the funerary customs and burial patterns of this region and also possible social and cultural behavior characteristic of the shifts occurred mainly during the VIII century BC.

La présente thèse de doctorat offre une nouvelle édition critique, traduite et commentée, du Périple de Pseudo-Scylax (hormis la description du Pont-Euxin). L’œuvre, un périple des côtes méditerranéennes, est transmise par un manuscrit du XIIIe siècle (Paris, BNF, Suppl. gr. 443) et par deux apographes de la Renaissance (München, BSB, gr. 566 e Vaticano, BAV, Pal. gr. 142) qui indiquent comme auteur Scylax de Caryanda, un personnage ayant vécu sous le règne de Darius I (522-486). Cependant différents indices ne permettent pas d’étayer telle datation et, après une longue querelle, les savants partagent aujourd’hui en général l’idée que le 338 av. J.-C. doit plutôt être indiqué comme le terminus post quem. En continuité avec ces études, notre thèse, articulée en trois parties principales (introduction, édition du texte avec traduction et commentaire), a pour but d’offrir une analyse attentive de l’œuvre afin d’apprécier à sa juste valeur le seul périple complet de la Méditerranée que l’antiquité nous ait transmis. La première partie, avec fonction d’introduction, vise à encadrer l’œuvre dans son contexte historico-politique et littéraire. Font suite à l’introduction un long chapitre sur l’histoire du texte, l’édition critique et une traduction du Périple. Enfin, la troisième et dernière partie est occupée par un commentaire dans lequel sont discutés des éléments textuels et historiques qui mettent bien en lumière l’importance et l’actualité de cette œuvre dans la civilisation occidentale. / This doctoral thesis offers a new edition, accompanied by a translation and a commentary, of the Periplous of Pseudo-Skylax (with the exception of the description of Black Sea). The text, a periplous of the Mediterranean, survives in a codex unicus (Paris, BNF, Suppl. gr. 443) and in two apographs (München, BSB, gr. 566 e Vaticano, BAV, Pal. gr. 142), that indicates Skylax of Caryanda as his author, a man who lived at the time of Darius I (522-486). However, several textual evidences have demonstrated that the identification of date and author would not be plausible and after a century-long debate, today the critics generally agree that 338 BC should be seen as the terminus post quem. Agreeing with the conclusion of these studies, this thesis, organized in three major sections (introduction, edition with translation, commentary), offers a systematic analysis of the work and aims to value the only and complete ancient periplous of the Mediterranean as the true and sole example of the genre of the time. The introduction aims to put the works in his own historical, political and literary context. Then, after the introduction and a long chapter on the history of the transmission of the works, the critical edition and the translation of the Periplous follow. The third and last section furnishes a rich commentary and analyse the textual and historical aspects of the work in order to show his value and his relevance for the western tradition.

These are challenging times for parks and protected areas in British Columbia as these areas have increased in size and use, while resources for managing them have shrunk considerably. Environmental nongovernment organisations (ENGOs) have recognized these threats and as a result are becoming increasingly involved in the stewardship of parks and protected areas. As the provincial government authority responsible for their management, BC Parks acknowledges that the needs and aspirations of people living in and around these areas must somehow be integrated in their management in order to ensure their long-term viability, and that ENGOs have valuable knowledge and skills to offer in this regard. As a result, cooperative arrangements, or partnerships, are being increasingly explored as a mutually beneficial means of forwarding BC Parks' mandate of conservation and recreation, and the mandate of similarly-minded ENGOs. The central purpose of this thesis is to identify essential criteria that must be met for cooperative arrangements between ENGOs and BC Parks to be successful. The study focusses on four current, successful partnerships. Research methods included a literature review and interviews with representatives from each of the participating BC Parks districts and ENGOs. The thesis presents a number of key findings that have significant import to the successful planning, implementation and management of cooperative arrangements for parks and protected areas. In addition to the criteria identified as central to their success, certain process-based actions have relevance to fulfilling the criteria. The level of trust between partners also has an impact on relations, which is enhanced when the criteria are met and over the course of time. The expectations of parties with regard to the extent of power-sharing and how this is exhibited in the cooperative arrangement also affects the perceived level of success of partners and therefore their commitment to the partnership. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

Die Dissertation mit dem Titel „Studien zur lateinischen Sapientia Salomonis“ geht vor allem hinsichtlich der Vulgatatradition, aber auch der übrigen lateinischen Überlieferung der SapSal auf Textkritik, Textgeschichte und Textvergleich ein. Zu Beginn wird herausgearbeitet, inwiefern und weshalb sich die drei modernen kritischen Ausgaben des Vulgatatexts der SapSal bei ihrer Rekonstruktion von dessen Archetyp unterscheiden. Zudem wird eine Bewertung voneinander abweichender Lesarten in den jeweiligen Rezensionszeilen gegeben. Daran anschließend wird die Frage behandelt, warum eine qualitativ eher mangelhafte lateinische Textform der SapSal Eingang in die Biblia Vulgata gefunden hat. Zunächst wird gezeigt, dass die Vulgatatradition der SapSal im fünften Jahrhundert n.Chr. in Rom aufkommt; hiervon ausgehend wird der Erfolg dieser Textform nicht einer gezielten Auswahl, sondern einer Verflechtung und Wechselwirkung zwischen der Verwendung dieses Texts durch Katholiken in Rom und der römischen Buchproduktion zugeschrieben. Schließlich wird anhand der Wiedergabe der griechischen Begriffe athanasía, aphtharsía, dikaiosýne und nómos sowie der zugehörigen Adjektive dargelegt, dass sich der Vulgatatext der SapSal zwar eng an seine griechischen und lateinischen Vorlagentexte anschließt, aber auf Grund seiner Übersetzungsweise auch Besonderheiten aufweist. Textliche Bezüge gehen im Vulgatatext gegenüber dem griechischen Text teilweise verloren und die eschatologischen Entwürfe des griechischen Texts erscheinen im Vulgatatext der SapSal als etwas reduziert. Darüber hinaus wird deutlich, dass der Vulgatatext der SapSal – anders als der griechische Urtext – nicht aus einem jüdischen, sondern aus einem christlichen Milieu hervorgegangen ist. Insgesamt wird eine bessere Verortung der Vulgatatradition der SapSal hinsichtlich der übrigen lateinischen Überlieferung, ihres historischen Umfelds und ihrer griechischen Vorlage erreicht. / The dissertation entitled "Studies on the Latin Wisdom of Solomon" deals with textual criticism, textual history and the comparison of texts, namely with regard to the Vulgate tradition but also with regard to the other Latin traditions of Wis. First, it is brought out to what extent and why the three modern critical editions of the Vulgate text of Wis differ in their reconstructions of its archetype. Moreover, the differing readings in the respective recension lines are evaluated. Subsequently, the question is addressed for which reason a qualitatively rather deficient Latin text form of Wis has found its way into the Biblia Vulgata. Initially, the Vulgate tradition of Wis is shown to have emerged in the fifth century AD in Rome; based on this, the success of this text form is ascribed not to a purposeful decision but to an interdependence and an interrelation between the use of this text by catholics in Rome and the Roman book production. Eventually, by means of the translation of the Greek terms athanasía, aphtharsía, dikaiosýne and nómos and their corresponding adjectives, the Vulgate text of Wis is demonstrated to affiliate to its Greek and Latin model texts closely but to feature peculiarities due to its translation method as well. In the Vulgate text, textual references are dissolved in comparison to the Greek text, and the eschatological sketches of the Greek text appear to be somewhat reduced in the Vulgate text of Wis. In addition, it becomes apparent that the Vulgate text of Wis has arisen – unlike the original Greek text – not from a Jewish but from a Christian milieu. All in all, a better contextualisation of the Vulgate tradition of Wis regarding the other Latin traditions, its historical environment and its Greek Vorlage is achieved.

In der vorliegenden Dissertation werden verschiedene plasmonisch aktive Kern/Schale- Nanopartikel synthetisiert, experimentell und theoretisch charakterisiert und in analytischen Anwendungen der oberflächenverstärkten Raman-Spektroskopie (engl. surface-enhanced Raman scattering, SERS) eingesetzt. Es werden die optischen Eigenschaften von Gold/Silber-Nanoschalen mit durchstimmbaren Plasmonbanden behandelt. Motivation dafür ist die Frage nach optimalen SERS-Markern für die rote Laseranregung (λ = 632.8 nm). In SERS-Anwendungen gibt es die Möglichkeit mehrere Marker-Moleküle auf die Oberfläche der Nanopartikel aufzubringen, um so eine erhöhte Multiplexing-Kapazität zu generieren. Diese Option der gemischten Monolagen wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit untersucht. Es werden SERS-Marker-Konzepte für die rote Laseranregung basierend auf einzelnen Nanopartikeln gezeigt. Außerdem wird dargestellt, inwieweit sich durch die Anordnung von Nanopartikeln in allen drei Raumdimensionen neue SERS-Marker- Konzepte mit sehr guten plasmonischen Eigenschaften realisieren lassen. In den oben beschriebenen Kapiteln übernehmen Nanopartikel die Rolle des SERS-Substrats für den selektiven Nachweis eines bestimmten Zielmoleküls (z.B. Antigens). Neben diesen Anwendungen können Nanopartikel jedoch auch noch als SERS-Substrat für die markierungsfreie Detektion von Analytmolekülen eingesetzt werden. In dieser Dissertation wird die Herstellung, Charakterisierung und der Einsatz eines integrierten SERS-Substrats für die kombinierte Festphasensynthese und Analytik mittels plamonisch aktiver Gold/Glas-Kern/Schale-Nanopartikel auf Harz-Mikrokugeln behandelt.
