This study investigates the motives behind the rhetorical strategies of rejection and acceptance used by John Bright in his four Parliamentary speeches opposing the Crimean War. Kenneth Burke's dramatistic pentad was used to evaluate the four speeches. An examination of the pentad's five elements reveals that Bright had six motives for opposing the war. To achieve his purpose in giving the speeches--to restore peace to England and the world--Bright' used the major rhetorical agencies of rejection and acceptance. Bright's act, his selection of agencies, and his purpose were all definitely influenced by the scene in which they occurred.

The studies in this thesis research were conducted to investigate if sensitivity to induced cortical spread depression (CSD) or the consequence of a CSD event is affected by sumatriptan induced latent sensitization. Previous studies in our lab showed persistent exposure of sumatripan to rats produced a latent state of sensitization. Using persistent sumatripan exposed rats as a model for medication overuse headache, behavior, electrical stimulation threshold to provoke a CSD event and the immunoreactivity of c-Fos in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC) were characterized. Current results showed no statistical difference of electrically induced CSD thresholds in anesthetized rats measured at day 20 in sumatripan exposed rats compared with saline treated rats. Topiramate (80 mg/kg, i.p.) used clinically for prophylaxis of migraine headache significantly increased CSD threshold in both saline and sumatriptan infused rats. CSD events appear to be associated with trigeminal vascular system activation in TNC because c-Fos expression significantly enhanced in rats with electrically stimulated CSD events. As compared to saline treated rats, sumatriptan-exposed rats demonstrated a significantly higher number of c-Fos positive cells following the electrically stimulated CSD event. Under environmental stress (bright light), sumatripan exposed rats demonstrated decreased response thresholds to periorbital and hindpaw tactile stimuli (i.e., allodynia) and enhanced c-Fos expression in TNC. A single dose of topiramate (80 mg/kg, i.p.) reversed environmental stress induced allodynia and c-Fos over-activity. Taken together, these results suggest that latent sensitization induced by persistent sumatripan exposure seems not correlated to the threshold of electrically stimulated CSD in current model. However, CSD enhanced the responses of trigeminal system in rats with sumatriptan-induced latent sensitization. The protective effects of topiramate shown in this model may be related to blocking the initiation of CSD events resulting from environmental stimulation as well as inhibiting the consequences of CSD events in primary afferents. These findings correlate with clinical observations of protective effects of topiramate for migraine prophylaxis.

This degree project was intendet to construct and design packaging for beauty care. At the requestof AssiDomän Frövi the project group were instructed to innovate creative packagesmade of their cardboard Frövi Bright.Three different packages have been developed. Two of them are for child care products and onepackage is for several bath products. These results show that there are possibilities to create creativeand different packages of the cardboard Frövi Bright.The report also enters deeply into the special qualities of Frövi Bright and studies of packagingdesign.

Identifica-se, como processo fotográfico histórico e muito antigo, como uma técnica fotográfica, contudo fica evidenciada na Cianotipia uma interferência mais determinante do autor nos resultados obtidos, o que permitiu uma reflexão histórica dos caminhos tomados pela fotografia ¿ das formas de expressão primitivas comparadas à dos tempos atuais ¿ e a conseqüente técnica, própria dos processos artesanais de gestualidade, de interfaces, onde o corpo hibridiza a mediação entre autor e produto visual. A pesquisa objetivou problematizar as dimensões da linguagem, cor e espaço. Linguagem, porque envolve as relações dos elementos constitutivos da tecnologia de reprodução de imagens, como o processo de construção das matrizes em grandes formatos, e também o produto plástico e visual da impressão resultante. Cor, na dimensão construtiva do objeto de estudo, onde a experimentação, a materialização do produto visual à qual se chega, trata, como forma de expressão que se vale dos estímulos visuais de natureza gestual e corpórea, da conseqüência de uma teoria de reflexão analítica, dedutiva, da poética visual dos fenômenos óticos, possíveis na cianotipia. Espaço, enquanto dimensão reveladora da capacidade da cianotipia em articular várias linguagens tridimensionais a serem registradas fotograficamente, e também por constituir-se em si mesma, elemento capaz de participar na própria construção deste espaço. A construção da instalação-ambiente denominada Photosynthesis a partir de cianótipos de grande formato procura exemplificar a dimensão teórico-visual proposta na presente pesquisa / Abstract: The alternative technology of image reproduction through the negative-positive impression system known as Cyanotype allows, by the chemical characters of the iron salts which are photo sensible of emulsion, sensible to the ultraviolet light, to the impression of sun light (rich in UV) through photo-contact, like a bright chamber, with results in huge formats through the mold produced without an optic gadget or a digital camera. It is identified, as an old photograph process, like a photograph technique, however it comes up in the Cyanotype with an important interference from the author in the results obtained, which permitted to do a historical reflection of the way taken by the photography ¿ from the primitive expression compared to the current days ¿ and the consequent technique, characteristic of the craft processes of gestures, of interface, where the body hybrid the mediation between the author and the visual product. The objective of the research was make questions about language dimensions, color and space. Language, because involves the relation of constitutive elements of image reproduction technology, just as the process of construction of the molds in huge formats, as well as the plastic product and visual of impression resulting. Color, in the constructive dimension of the object studied, where the experimentation, materialization of the visual product is treated as an expression way seen from the visual stimulus of the nature of body movements (figure) and gestures, as a consequence of a theory of analytical reflection, deductive, of the poetic visual of optics phenomenon, possible in Cyanotype. Space, while a revelator dimension of the capability of Cyanotype in articulate different 3-D languages to be registered photographically, and also due to constitute itself, element capable to participate in the building of this space. The construction of the installation-atmosphere named Photosynthesis gotten from Cyanotypes in huge formats, looks for exemplify the dimension theoretical-visual proposed in the current research / Mestrado / Artes / Mestre em Artes
