The Museum Studies thesis project represented by this document entailed the compilation of a board of directors orientation packet for the Gila River Indian Community's recently established Huhugam Heritage Center (HHC) in Chandler, Arizona. The packet, including an administrative history of the institution and an annotated bibliography of museological resources on issues relevant to tribal museums, provides current and future members of the HEZC Board of Directors with information needed to effectively carry out their duties. Research and preparation of the administrative history constituted a case study of Native American tribal museum development. The history supplies members of the HHC Board of Directors with information critical to their understanding and oversight of the institution. The annotated bibliography reviews and serves as a guide to a body of literature addressing practical, ethical and theoretical issues relevant to persons working for, with or on behalf of tribal museums.

Denna uppsats undersöker hur grafisk formgivning påverkar image. Detta görs genom att se på Dagens Nyheter som exemplum på hur man kan jobba under formgivningsprocessen för att bygga image. Kopplingen mellan begreppet image och det retoriska begreppet ethos diskuteras och kopplas till det retoriska begreppet doxa. En fokusgruppsundersökning har använts som metod för att hämta inspiration till analysen. De teoretiska utgångspunkter på vilken uppsatsen primärt vilar är Daniel Chandlers sammanfattning av semiotikläran, Theo van Leeuwen och Gunther Kress tankar om sociosemiotik, Mats Rosengrens beskrivning av doxa, Jens Kjeldsens redogörelse för ethos, Peggy Brønn Simcic och Øyvind Ihlens förklaringar av image samt tankar om grafisk formgivning presenterade i boken Bild och form för informationsdesign med Rune Pettersson som redaktör. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att formgivningen av en tidning påverkar tidningens image men även dess ethos. Men formgivningen är endast en del i den kommunikationen som påverkar mottagaren. Undersökningen visar även att ethos upplevs olika beroende på doxa och därmed kan den inte med säkerhet fastslå hur tidningens ethos och image påverkas, endast att de gör det.

Nanoparticles are used more and more extensively in today's society, especially in the industry sector. Humans get exposed to nanoparticles daily but the effect is a topic that has not been fully explored yet and its effect on humans is still unknown.The purpose of this project was to investigate whether the size of nanoparticles is a factor that influences their effect on humans, mainly the effect on blood activation. In order to study this, nanopaticles of polystyrene with three different sizes (75, 120 and 260 nm) were selected and incubated in a human whole blood model, the Chandler loop. The samples from the Chandler loop experiments were analysed with three different ELISA's: C3a, terminal complement complex (TCC, sC5b-9) and thrombin-antithrombincomplexes (TAT).The results in this study indicate that the smallest nanoparticle has a higher potential for activating the coagulation system than the larger ones. The complement system did not seem to be significantly activated from the nanoparticles. More experiments needs to be done in order to get a better statistic value but just as it is the results look promising and there is a tendency for a higher activation of the coagulation system with the 75 nm nanoparticles.

L’objectif principal de ce travail est d’améliorer notre compréhension de la rhéologie terrestre et du mouvement de Chandler qui en dépend. Nous calculons le facteur gravimétrique complexe à la période de Chandler par une analyse conjointe de séries temporelles gravimétriques et du mouvement du pôle. Nous montrons l’importance et les limites des corrections gravimétriques dans les analyses locales et l’intérêt d’une combinaison des données de différentes stations. Suivant une approche plus théorique, nous menons une étude analytique puis numérique afin de déterminer les solutions du problème des petites déformations d’une Terre homogène anélastique en rotation. L’influence de l’anélasticité sur la période et le facteur de qualité de Chandler est étudiée, et nous montrons que ce dernier est plus sensible que la période aux paramètres rhéologiques, notamment à la viscosité de Kelvin. Enfin, nous étudions, en domaine de Laplace, l’influence de la fréquence de forçage par une surcharge. / The main goal of this work is to improve our understanding of the Earth’s rheology and of the Chandler wobble which depends on it. We compute the complex gravimetric factor at the Chandler frequency by a joint analysis of gravimetric and polar motion time series. We show the importance and the limits of gravimetric corrections for local analyses and the effectiveness of the combination of data from different stations. Using a more theoretical approach, we carry out an analytical and numerical study to determine the solutions of the small deformations of an anelastic homogeneous rotating Earth model. The influence of anelasticity on the Chandler wobble period and quality factoris studied and we show that the latter is more sensitive than the period to the rheological parameters, especially to the Kelvin’s viscosity. Finally, we study in Laplace domain the influence of the forcing frequency for the loading problem.

In music education, aesthetic education and praxial music education serve as two major, guiding philosophical frameworks, yet supporters of each often conflict with one another. Furthermore, both are slightly problematic with respect to the specific context of the public school. Each framework is primarily music-based, however, music education has existed in the wider context of general education since the 1830s. Given the recent core-status designation for music education, as part of all fine arts, in the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, a framework from general education that supported music education could offer benefits for the domain. However, the wider context of general education is messy as well. Two groups occupy most of the space there, and remain locked in a fundamental disagreement over the purpose of a formal education. The progressive educators, historically framed by Dewey and Thorndike, contend that education functions as societal improvement. In contrast, the essentialists contend that education functions as cultural transmission. Therefore, a more specific need for music education involves selecting a framework from general education that resolves this conflict. The writings of William Chandler Bagley indicate that he balanced both considerations of a formal education while also advancing his notion of essentialism. Bagley differed from the progressive educators predominately associated with Dewey over definitions and ideas surrounding a democratic education. Emergent points of contrast with Thorndike include distinctions between social efficiency and Bagley's alternative idea of social progress. Bagley also diverged from other essentialists over definitions concerning liberal and cultural education. To make these viewpoints of Bagley explicit, I describe characteristics of a progressive education, and an essentialist education separately, before introducing Bagley. Finally, I apply Bagley's ideas into the domain of music education. Ultimately, I contend that through common outcomes of creativity, competition, and literacy, the domain of music education can remain securely grounded in the values within the public schools.

Para tal fim, parte-se, principalmente, dos estudos de masculinidade hegemônica empreendidos por R.W. Connell e seus comentadores, e da análise de três dos maiores expoentes fundadores do gênero, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler e Jim Thompson. Considerando essa fundação da literatura policial norte-americana, serão então analisadas quatro obras protagonizadas pelo personagem Mandrake, ―O Caso F.A‖, ―Dia dos Namorados‖, ―Mandrake‖ e o romance A Grande Arte. Pretende-se, assim, observar como o autor se vale dessa tradição da literatura policial, e de suas implicações com questões de masculinidade(s), para criar uma obra de tamanha potência crítica, estilística e política. / Taking into consideration the important contribution of literary and cultural studies to the deepening of debate about North-American detective narratives, this study intends to assemble singularities, disconnections and contemporary masculinity issues associated with hard-boiled literature, aiming to substantiate an investigation of its influence in Rubem Fonseca‘s work. In order to do so, we take as a starting point the studies of hegemonic masculinities, by R.W. Connell and her commentators, and the analysis of three of the genre‘s founding fathers, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Jim Thompson. Considering the foundation of North-American detective novel, four works which has Mandrake as its main character will be analyzed : ―O Caso F.A‖, ―Dia dos Namorados‖, ―Mandrake‖ and the novel A Grande Arte. Seeking to observe how the author utilizes the hard-boiled tradition and its implications in masculinities issues in order to create a work of enormous critical, stylistic and political potency.
