No entanto, a confiabilidade de tais estatísticas, tal como a média, costuma ser negligenciada. Ou ainda, questiona-se se o período de medição comumente empregado (7 dias) é suficiente para efetuar qualquer julgamento sobre a qualidade da energia. Em rápida análise, vê-se que vários fatores influenciam no desequilíbrio de tensão. Dentre estes, um bastante notório é o horo-sazonal, o qual imbui o comportamento do desequilíbrio de tensão de uma componente aleatória, cujas características afetam diretamente qualquer metodologia a ser empregada para sua avaliação. Assim sendo, a duração e a época do monitoramento são questões importantes para a aplicação de critérios de avaliação de desempenho. Este trabalho propõe três algoritmos de estimação recursiva para a média e um para a variância do fator K. Além disso, a similaridade entre os resultados dos três algoritmos é avaliada com o emprego da Distância de Mahalanobis e é apresentada uma métrica para avaliar a confiança de tal estatística e as alterações que esta apresenta, quando considerados períodos de medição diferentes (nos casos aqui estudados, uma semana e treze semanas). Os 3 algoritmos mostraram similaridade de 95% em seus resultados, apontando para a convergência destes. Quanto à métrica, esta mostrou que seus resultados podem variar bastante de acordo com a duração do período de medição considerado. As principais contribuições deste trabalho foram: a proposição e implementação dos algoritmos; a validação da métrica com o uso de dados reais do sistema de transmissão de energia elétrica; e a avaliação da estacionariedade do índice de desequilíbrio considerado pela norma brasileira. ________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / In order to evaluate the unbalance levels of voltage samples obtained from field measurements taken over a determined period, it is common to use first order statistics. However, in this type of study procedures capable of determining the reliability of said statistics are often neglected. As a result, questions arise whether the average is an adequate metric, or whether the measurement period normally called for by norms (7 days) is sufficient to conduct an adequate power quality assessment. On overview, many important factors arise to be considered. A notorious one is related to the season and time, that contributes to a random component to the voltage unbalance and affect directly any methodology used for its measurement. Therefore, duration and period are important questions about performance evaluation judgment. This study proposes three recursive estimation algorithms for the mean and one to the variance of K factor. Besides, similarity between these algorithms is assessed using Mahalanobis Distance and also a metric is described for the reliability of such statistics and its changes when different monitoring time intervals are considered ( at this study, one week and thirteen weeks). All algorithms results showed similarity of 95%, indicating a convergence of them. About the metric, were obtained that its results can significantly vary depending upon the time period used. The main contributions of this study are: proposition and implementation of the algorithms; validation of the metric employing real data from Brazilians power transmission system; and assessment of the stationary behavior characteristic of voltage unbalance used by Brazilians regulation.

The study undertaken in this dissertation developed out of my honors research essay titled “A socio-political view of land acquisition in 1 Kings 21:1-16 as a form of dehumanization.” The previous research essay serves as a precursor for the current study. Naboth’s loss of his הלחנ (inheritance), resulting in his death under the rule of Ahab, is considered by scholars as one of the possible roots which served as a basis for Jehu’s coup as retributive justice for Naboth. It is, therefore, the aim of this paper to investigate all the possible roots of Jehu’s coup adopting a holistic approach in explicating all contributing factors and to interrogate the extreme use of violence. Following the death of Naboth in 1 Kings 21:1-16, and a further mention of Naboth’s death and the acquisition of his vineyard in 2 Kings 9-10, the murder of Naboth prompted and sparked a debate of whether Naboth’s death was avenged as Jehu executed his coup. An investigation into Jehu’s coup opened up more doors of research as it became apparent that many other factors became intertwined with the coup narrative. The apostasy of the Northern Kingdom also brought an element of idolatry into the scheme. The prophets Elijah and Elisha are introduced into the narrative through the anti- Jezebel redaction to invoke a Yahwism theme. Jehu was then a Yahwistic revolutionary who was being obedient to Yahweh during his bloody extermination of the house of Ahab. Archaeological evidence (i.e. Tel Dan) would later defy the claims of the narrative as they are presented in the Old Testament, this then led to an investigation and an inquiry of how Jehu is related to all factors tied to him. How is Jehu’s coup related to Tel Dan, Naboth, and the prophetic agenda of Elijah and Elisha? / Dissertation (MTh)--University of Pretoria, 2018. / Old Testament Studies / MTh / Unrestricted

Le dan bâu est un monocorde à tension variable spécifiquement vietnamien. Il est cité par les chroniques chinoises du Xe siècle parmi les instruments du Funan, du Champâ et du pays de Pyû, soit l’Indochine. Les sources vietnamiennes les plus anciennes remontent à 1777 (Lê Qui Dôn), suivies par les récits, dessins, croquis et photographies des voyageurs, explorateurs puis ethnologues. Il apparaît que l’instrument au début du XXe siècle était l’apanage des mendiants aveugles. Au cours du siècle, il est cependant devenu un des emblèmes de la musique vietnamienne, objet d’améliorations dans la facture, et surtout d’une modification du jeu instrumental avec l’usage systématique du jeu en harmoniques qui lui permet de jouer tous les modes et toutes les nuances, et des ornements aussi subtils que variés. Actuellement, l’incorporation à l’ensemble caisse-corde-résonateur-levier d’une chaîne microphone-amplificateur-haut-parleur lui permet d’être entendu parmi d’autres instruments et dans la situation du concert. Il présente ainsi le cas d’un instrument resté traditionnel et vietnamien et ayant totalement intégré la modernité.L’étude organologique, comprenant description et facture, se prolonge avec un aperçu général qui situe le dan bâu au sein des monocordes asiatiques. L’étude musicologique présente les modes de jeu, le système modal des pièces de son vaste répertoire ; elle est complétée par un description des techniques de jeu et une étude d’acoustique musicale. L’enseignement au sein des conservatoires est exposé avec la publication d’un manuscrit inédit d’un maître. Le travail s’ouvre en fin sur une proposition de l’utilisation du dan bâu dans le cadre de la musicothérapie. / The dan bâu is a variable tension, monochord chordophone, specific to Vietnam. Chinese historical records from the Xth Century describe the baoqin among instruments from Funan, Champâ, and Pyû, which means present days Indochina, while Vietnamese records only start from 1777 (Lê Qui Dôn), followed by descriptions, sketches, and photographs by travellers and ethnographers. It appears that at the turn of XXth century the instrument was played by blind street musicians. During this century, it has become one of the characteristic sounds of Vietnamese musical culture, through modifications in its building, the materials used, and in its playing, which now incorporates the systematic use of controlled harmonics. The addition of an electro acoustic chain of amplification has been an important contribution to its integration as a concert instrument. It can be taken as a perfect example of a traditional instrument integrated into modernity.The organological study, including a description of the instrument, its variants and techniques of building, opens to an overview of the various monochords in Asia. The musicological study presents the modal system with its idiomatic ornaments, the large repertoire. It is completed by a study of the playing techniques and an acoustic analysis. The teaching of the instrument and its music inside of the conservatories is exposed through the publication of a manuscript by a Master. The work ends with a proposition about the use of the dan bâu in the context of music therapy.

Este estudo buscou analisar a produção do artista norte-americano Dan Graham, enfocando a estreita relação que manteve com a arquitetura e a cidade ao longo de sua trajetória. Realizada em meios e suportes bastante diversiicados, a produção deste artista é bastante representativa do desenvolvimento da arte contemporânea a partir da década de 1960, marcado pela superação de códigos artísticos que culminaram com o rompimento dos limites ísicos dos museus e galerias. Através de intervenções em revistas, de suas performances e instalações, de seus recentes pavilhões de aço e vidro e de uma extensa produção de textos, Graham mobilizou conteúdos distintos provindos de campos como os da psicologia, do cinema e também da arquitetura para investigar a condição da arte, da cultura e das espacialidades na sociedade contemporânea. Por meio da justaposição entre suas obras e seus textos, onde lida mais explicitamente com questões exteriores à arte, torna-se possível identiicar a articulação entre a prática e o pensamento do artista, percorrendo de maneira mais aprofundada suas relexões sobre as estruturas sociais ou culturais operantes em contextos espaciais especíicos, seja dentro da galeria ou fora dela. Ao inal, espera-se que a síntese dessas questões permitam revelar os novos olhares construídos por Dan Graham sobre o campo da Arquitetura e Urbanismo, a partir de questionamentos que lhe são exteriores e que apresentam natureza distinta: suas propostas estéticas indagam as formas de produção da cidade contemporânea, sobretudo em relação à natureza cultural e social de seus espaços. / This study investigates the production of the American artist Dan Graham, focusing on the close relationship he mantained with the architecture and the city throughout his carrer. Held in very diverse mean and supports, the production of this artist is quite representative of the contemporary art development from the 1960s, marked by overcoming artistic codes that culminated in the disruption of physical boundaries behind museums and galleries. Through the interventons in magazines, performances and installations, his recent steel and glass pavilion and the extensive production of texts, Graham mobilized different contents stemmed from ields such as psychology, cinema and also the architecture to investigate the condition of art, culture and spatiality in contemporary society. By the juxtaposition of his works and his writings, which most explicity the deals with external issues to the art, it is possible to identify the articulation of Graham´s practice and thought, observing more deeply his relections on the social and cultural structures operating in speciic spatial contexts, either inside the art gallery or outside of it. At the end, it is expected that the synthesis of these isseus allow us to reveal the new perspectives built by Dan Graham on the ield of Architecture and Urbanism, pointing questions from a external and different nature: his aesthetical proposals inquire the contemporary city forms of production,especially in relation to cultural and social nature of their spaces.

Apoiado na literatura, em entrevistas com mestres da cultura popular e em suas viv?ncias e experi?ncias como pesquisador e professor de dan?as, o autor evidencia a diversidade na forma??o cultural do Brasil, destaca alguns pontos question?veis na forma como se estrutura o ensino universit?rio brasileiro e apresenta a Transdisciplinaridade como uma alternativa importante para a constru??o de uma sociedade mais humana. Assim, o grande desafio proposto pelo autor ? como o ensino das dan?as populares brasileiras na universidade sob uma ?tica transdisciplinar pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento humano na sua integralidade.

La conversion a Christ pour un Africain suppose, en general le passage d' un concept religieux traditionnel a celui de l'Evangile. Cette nouvelle situation engendre sans aucun doute des mues ou ruptures meme si une continuite demeure a certains niveaux des croyances et pratiques entre les deux systemes de la foi religieuse. Dans le cas specifique du peuple Dan, en nous appuyant sur l'ouvrage de Sanon, les sources oracles et d'autres ecrits, nous avons fait une analyse de six elements fondamentaux de la religion traditionnelle Dan tout en faisant ressortir les points de contacts et de ruptures entre ceux-ci et la foi chretienne. Les concepts qui ont fait I' objet de notre reflexion sont: Dieu, les sacrifices, la priere, les mediateurs, la mort et I' au-dela. A chaque niveau de notre analyse, nous avons constate qu'il existe bel et bien des caracteristiques communes entre la foi traditionnelle Dan et le message de I'Evangile. Celles-Ia constituent les elements de continuite qu'il faut preserver et perfectionner a la lumiere de I'Evangile. Mais, par ailleurs, nous avons releve certaines croyances et pratiques qui s'opposent aux principes de la ...•. parole de Dieu et dont le Dan doit se detacher s' il veut demeurer dans les normes et exigences d'une conversion authentique a Christ. Il appartient donc a l'Eglise d' aider le chretien Dan a consolider sa foi par l'abandon de tout ce qui dans son patrimoine culturel et religieux s'oppose a l'Evangile. Elte l'encouragera aussi a preserver les elements de sa religion qui peuvent contribuer a sa croissance spirituelle. / Thesis (M.Th.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2000.
