Iracema no cinema: nação e identidade na passagem do literário para o fílmico busca responder a uma interrogação principal bastante simples: como o cinema brasileiro se apropriou de uma das personagens mais importantes da literatura brasileira: a Iracema de José de Alencar? A pesquisa busca entender como tal personagem, chave na construção da ideia de nação no século XIX, foi ressignificada por outra forma artística, o cinema, em outro tempo e em outro contexto histórico e social. Trata-se, portanto, de um estudo comparado de textos da língua portuguesa: texto literário, Iracema (José de Alencar, 1865), e textos fílmicos, Iracema (Carlos Coimbra, 1974), Iracema (Jorge Bodanzky e Orlando Senna, 1974) e Cine Tapuia (Rosemberg Cariry, 2002), que, além de propor um modelo para análise da adaptação de obras literárias para o cinema, visa entender como se deu a projeção de temas e personagens do romance fundador para além do seu tempo histórico. / Iracema on film: nation and identity from literary to the filmic seeks to answer a major question quite simple: how Brazilian cinema has appropriate of the most important characters of Brazilian literature, Iracema by José de Alencar? The present study investigates how this character, Iracema, central in the conception of the nation idea in the XIX century, was resignified by another artistc form, the cinema, in another time and in another historical and social context. This study, therefore, compares Portuguese language texts: literary text, Iracema (José de Alencar, 1865), and filmic texts, Iracema (Carlos Coimbra, 1974), Iracema (Jorge Bodanzky e Orlando Senna, 1974) and Cine Tapuia (Rosemberg Cariry, 2002).In addition to proposing a model for analyzing the adaptation of literary works for cinema, this study aims to understand how occurred the projection of themes and characters of the romance beyond its historical time.

Buscando aproximar as obras literária e fílmica dos Amados, este estudo, sob a perspectiva dos Estudos Comparados, visa abarcar a relação entre estes dois campos narrativos, discutindo como tais obras, através de determinados elementos narrativos, refletem a matéria histórica do contexto em que estão inseridas, bem como marcam o projeto político e estético de seus autores. / Seeking to approximate the literary and filmic works of the Amados, this study, from the perspective of Comparative Studies, aims to comprehend the relationship between these two narrative fields, discussing how these works, through defined narrative elements, reflect the historical context to which they belong as well as underline the authors\' political and aesthetic projects.

Esta dissertação pretende analisar, sob uma perspectiva comparatista, as obras: Kabá Darebu e As peripécias do jabuti, de Daniel Munduruku, e Pequena história de gente e de bicho, de Ciça Fittipaldi, tendo em vista as especificidades culturais de cada autor e a maneira como elas se refletem em suas produções, bem como destacar características de seus projetos ideológicos e estéticos. Levando em conta os preceitos dos estudos comparados, outro foco de análise será os diálogos estabelecidos entre cada escritor com outras áreas de conhecimento, como: antropologia, artes plásticas e educação, considerando a formação acadêmica de ambos e sua atuação profissional. Levando-se em conta as ponderações de Antonio Candido com relação às influências do contexto social e político na produção literária, este trabalho também abordará a Lei 11.645 - a qual institui o ensino das contribuições culturais e sociais dos povos africanos e indígenas nas escolas brasileiras - e a possibilidade de reflexo da mesma na produção literária de temática indígena desses autores. / This thesis aims to analyze, from a comparative perspective, the works: Kaba Darebu and the tortoise The adventures of Daniel Mundurukú and short history of people and animal, of Ciça Fittipaldi, in view of the cultural specificities of each author and how they reflect on their productions, as well as highlight features of their ideological and aesthetic designs. Taking into account the principles of comparative studies, another focus of analysis will be dialogues between each writer with other areas of knowledge, such as anthropology, art and education, considering both the academic and his professional performance. Taking into account the weights of Antonio Candido with respect to the influences of the social and political context in the literature, this paper will also address the 11,645 law - which establishes the teaching of social and cultural contributions of African peoples and indigenous Brazilian schools - and the possibility of reflection of the same in the literary production of indigenous issues these authors.

O trabalho proposto tem por objetivo estabelecer e evidenciar as pontes que unem as efabulações fradiquianas, tendo como base as obras Os Mistérios da Estrada de SintraeA Correspondência de Fradique Mendes, de Eça de Queiroz;O Único Filho de Fradique Mendes, de Frederico de Sá Perry Vidal;Nação Crioula, de José Eduardo Agualusa eEsquemas de Fradique, de Fernando Venâncio, procurando comprovarque as efabulações são partes de um todo maior e continuo e que revelam a tentativa de, durante mais de um século, formular possíveis bibliografias para a personagem, Fradique Mendes. Pretende-se, ainda, demonstrar quais são os elementos narrativos que ligam as obras em questão, considerando para isso as intencionalidades autorais e as coerências na constituição dopersonagem. / This research works to establish and make evident the connections that unit Fradiques´ fables, based on these chosen works:Os Mistérios da Estrada de SintraandA Correspondência de Fradique Mendes, by Eça de Queiroz;O Único Filho de Fradique Mendes, by Frederico de Sá Perry Vidal;Nação Crioula, by José Eduardo Agualusa and Esquemas de Fradique, by Fernando Venâncio.By this way, its focus is proving that his fables are pieces of a unique and biggerentire. It´s a trying of, for more than a century, formulating a biography (always eternal) of one of the most important character from Portuguese Literature, Fradique Mendes. Furthermore, to demonstrate mainly which are the narrative´s elements that connect the parts, respecting certain coherencies on this character´s making (also taking into consideration the different authors´ intentions)

Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / As most of the attentions as well as criticisms to Radical Orthodoxy are focused on the theology of John Milbank, the possible existence of alternative voice(s) within the school of Radical Orthodoxy has been ignored. This thesis attempts to suggest that the theology of Graham Ward, though sharing similar theological sensibility with Milbank and other theologians identified as advocates of Radical Orthodoxy, is different from Milbank's theology in various ways. In order to have a better understanding of the varieties within Radical Orthodoxy as a theological program or school, and for its future development in postmodern context, Ward's theology deserves to be further explored. / Through contrasting the theologies of Ward and Milbank, this thesis argues that Ward's theology can avoid most of the criticisms of Milbank's theology and offers a better alternative within the framework of Radical Orthodoxy. Furthermore, in terms of future development of Radical Orthodoxy, as Ward's theology is more open and compatible with other disciplines, including particularly Cultural Studies, and other religious worldviews, it may be able to provide as a more persuasive and competitive Christian narrative than that of Milbank when engaging in public discourses in a pluralistic society and non-western context. In comparison with the theology of John Milbank, the theology of Graham Ward is arguably a more promising alternative way for the better development of Radical Orthodoxy. / 本論文主要指出，對於激進正统的關注與評論，大部分皆集中於米爾班的激進正统神學，這明顯是無視於在激進正统的神學運動內，成員間在有著共同的感識下、也是有著多元的聲音。在這理解下，本文提倡以沃德的神學作為理解這神學運動內的多元聲音的起點，更重要是以此作為這神學運動在後現代處境中可進一步發展的方向。沃德的神學作為激進正统的殊途，不單提出一種非米爾班式的激進正统神學，更能避免種種對於米爾班式的激進正统神學的批判。 / 再者，就激進正统神學的未來發展而言，沃德的神學對於其他理論及宗教都較為開放並予以對話的空間，這尤令其作為一套走向公共領域，尤其在多元社會及非西方的文化處境中的故事，比米爾班式神學更有說服及競爭力。總結而言，本文討論並主張，作為激進正统神學內的殊途，沃德的神學是比米爾班式的激進正统神學會有更理想的發展。 / 李天鈞. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 164-181). / Electronic reproduction.

This thesis examines the wellbeing of India and China’s rural-dwellers in Bihar and Gansu administrative units. It focuses on the food and shelter situation within these regions, from the standpoint of the existing status quo and ongoing trends. Moreover, it gives particular consideration to India and China’s governments’ role in the relevant wellbeing outcomes. Accordingly, this thesis argues for the importance of state capacity, and interest alignment, in driving forward development and preventing avoidable death or suffering. This provides a new angle on the dominant, Amartya Sen-inspired development models that emphasize free choice and democracy as the most immediate and preeminent development concerns. Thus, as this thesis proceeds to show, such Senian priorities increasingly lose value in contexts where weak state capacity or non-interest cannot deliver core well-being essentials. For example, populations that continue to either perish or persist with severe impairments from starvation, malnutrition and occupancy of uninhabitable dwellings are unable to exercise substantive freedoms in a manner envisioned by Sen. However, this does not mean this thesis undervalues democracy and freedom, but rather contends, alongside the most recent development sequencing literature, that strong state capacity is a prerequisite for the implementation of stable, lasting and functional democracy. Indeed, state capacity can give people the essential well-being basics to value, comprehend and utilize their freedoms in a full and non-exploited manner. Consequently, this thesis draws on a two-year fieldwork study in Bihar and Gansu’s villages and relies on 230 (215 valid) semi open-ended questionnaires, 29 stakeholder interviews, three focus group discussions and other relevant sources to bolster its argument and analysis.

Le choix de l’extispicine, technique divinatoire présente dans les sociétés andine et mésopotamienne pour cette étude comparée à long terme, s’inscrit dans un renouveau historiographique et une démarche interdisciplinaire. La divination en général, fait social total selon Marcel Mauss, permet d’observer les sociétés de manière transversale et de mettre en oeuvre un comparatisme au-delà de la thématique abordée. La divination et l’extispicine concernent aussi bien les affaires palatiales que ce soit au niveau militaire, religieux ou économique, que les affaires du simple particulier entreprenant un voyage ou désireux de découvrir la cause de sa maladie. Les sources andines sont peu nombreuses concernant la divination incaïque. L’abondance de la documentation de Mari permet néanmoins d’interroger l’historiographie andine et d’émettre des hypothèses sur le fonctionnement de la divination et de la technique de l’extispicine, et, réciproquement les rares mentions de l’extispicine andine dans les chroniques espagnoles et la survivance d’une extispicine contemporaine au Pérou ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives d’études concernant la divination à Mari. La comparaison de l’émission du pronostic du devin bârûm et du Callparicuc nous questionne sur la notion même de « lecture ». Même si l’on constate l’observation de marques sur les organes par le devin, l’extispicine andine ne semble pas entretenir de rapport direct avec l’écriture, alors que celles-ci évoluent de manière complémentaire en Mésopotamie. Les paradigmes binaires servant à établir le pronostic du devin dans les deux extispicines présentent de nombreuses similitudes et révèlent la présence de valeurs communes aux deux sociétés. Cette étude s’inscrit donc dans une nouvelle mise en perspective des deux historiographies et souhaite ouvrir la voie à d’autres travaux afin d’instaurer un réel dialogue entre ces deux mondes en y incluant ce que Tzvetan Todorov appelait la question de l’Autre. / The choice of extispicy, a divinatory technique present in Mesopotamian and Andean societies, for this long-term comparative study, involves a historiographical renewal and an interdisciplinary approach.Divination in general, a total social fact according to Marcel Mauss, allows to observe societes in a transversal manner and to apply comparatism beyond the subject matter. Divination and extispicy concern palace affairs, at a military, religious or economic level, as well as the affairs of a simple individual preparing to travel or wanting to discover the cause of his or her illness.There are very few Andean sources regarding Inca divination. However, the abundant documentation of Mari allows to question Andean historiography and to speculate on how divination and the technique of extispicy worked. Conversely, rare mentions of Andean extispicy in Spanish chronicles and the survival of a contemporary extispicy in Peru open new perspectives for Mari’s studies on divination.The comparison of the bârûm diviner’s prognosis and the Callparicuc raises questions on the meaning of “reading”. Although we notice that the diviner observes marks on the organs, Andean extispicy does not seem to be directly related to writing. However, these two evolve in a complementary manner in Mesopotamia.Binary paradigms that help to establish the diviner’s prognosis in both extispicies show many similarities and reveal common values in these two societies.This study is consistent with a new perspective regarding both historiographies and seeks to pave the way for other works, to create a real dialogue between these two worlds, including what Tzvetan Todorov calls the question of the Other.

Accurate experimental oxygen mass transfer coefficient, a measure of how quickly oxygen travels from a gas bubble to the bulk liquid, is important for comparing performance and for evaluating the oxygen transfer capability of a fermentor. Delays in probe response and changing gas volumes upon start-up of gassing affect the accuracy of oxygen transfer measurements. To mitigate these inaccuracies, a standard correction procedure for oxygen mass transfer data was established for highly oxygenated, well-mixed fermentation systems. Probe response time correction was generated by applying a second-order response model to dissolved oxygen probes and shown to be effective within 4%. By using a derived model for transient volume rise, the effect of changing gas volume at start-up was shown to cause very minimal error (1-2%) in kLa. The unsteady-state method of kLa determination was used to compare design aspects of a hypothetical fermentor, including gas sparging devices and locations, baffle geometries and quantities, and impeller configurations. It was shown that locating the sparging device in the center of the tank, directly below the drive shaft and bottom impeller, is optimal for oxygen mass transfer. Sparger type was shown to have little effect on oxygen mass transfer values, although an open-pipe sparger was shown to provide slightly more oxygen mass transfer than a ring sparger. The use of rounded baffles in place of traditional rectangular baffles resulted in a 67-80% decrease in oxygen mass transfer coefficient. A comparison of three and four traditional baffles showed that three baffles produced a higher oxygen mass transfer than four. Correlation of baffle ratio and oxygen mass transfer coefficient indicated that the optimum baffle ratio is approximately one. Radial impellers were observed to provide better mixing, and thus higher oxygen mass transfer coefficients than axial impellers. In seven of ten comparisons, an impeller quantity ratio of 1.33 instead of 1.00 provided significant improvement in kLa. Additionally, only two of ten comparisons showed a difference between traditional Rushton turbine impellers and Smith turbine impellers, indicating that the difference in oxygen mass transfer capability of the two is negligible.

<p>The development of new irradiation techniques is presently a very active field of research with increased availability of more sophisticated modalities such as intensity modulated photons (IMRT), protons and light ions. The primary aim of this work is to evaluate if the dose-distributions using IMRT and protons contribute to clinical advantages. A secondary aim is to investigate the potential clinical implication of the increased relative biological effect (RBE) for protons at the end of the Bragg peak. </p><p>The potential benefits are evaluated using physical dose measures and dose-response models for normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) and tumour control probability (TCP). Comparative treatment planning was performed using three locally advanced tumour types, left-sided node positive breast cancer, hypopharyngeal cancer, and rectal cancer. All studies showed that both IMRT and protons could improve the dose distributions compared to 3D-CRT, and significantly improve treatment results with lower NTCPs and, concerning hypopharyngeal cancer, higher TCP. Protons always resulted in smaller volumes receiving intermediate and low radiation doses.</p><p>Using protons or IMRT for left-sided node-positive breast cancer, the advantage is a significantly decreased risk for cardiac mortality (from 6.7% to 1%) and radiation induced pneumonitis (from 28.2% to less than 3%) compared to 3D-CRT. For hypopharyngeal cancer, protons and IMRT provide more selective treatment plans, higher TCP since a simultaneous boost technique is feasible, and better parotid gland sparing for several patients. For locally advanced rectal cancer, the NTCP for small bowel is potentially reduced by approximately 50% using IMRT or protons; protons have an even greater potential if the structure of the small bowel is parallel.</p><p>A variable RBE correction is developed and applied to a clinical proton treatment plan. A significant difference is obtained compared to the commonly accepted RBE correction of 1.1. This indicates that a variable RBE may be of importance in future proton treatment planning.</p><p>This thesis provides support for increased use both IMRT and proton radiotherapy, although stronger for protons. Therefore, investments in proton facilities with capacity for large clinical trials can be supported.</p>
