Esta tese apresenta um estudo sobre a espacialização da economia colonial nas minas do Cuiabá e do Mato Grosso, no centro da América do Sul, na primeira metade do século XVIII. No primeiro capítulo procuramos demonstrar como algumas interpretações e imagens recorrentes a respeito da economia colonial reproduzida nos territórios que formariam a capitania de Mato Grosso, impõem-se aos indícios documentais e são reproduzidas sem o questionamento sobre os pressupostos que as sustentam. No segundo capítulo, definimos nosso posicionamento teórico e metodológico em relação aos documentos cartográficos. No terceiro capítulo analisamos mapas classificados como sertanistas. Demonstramos que uma análise dos rústicos mapas do sertanismo revela uma lógica da expansão das conquistas territoriais portuguesas distante das interpretações consagradas sobre estes mapas. No quarto capítulo reconstruímos o processo de formação de ambientes rurais na primeira década de colonização portuguesa nas minas do Cuiabá, revelando a estruturação de uma estrutura fundiária diversificada voltada para o comércio e o mercado interno. No quinto capítulo analisamos a relação entre as práticas administrativas e a espacialização da economia colonial. No sexto capítulo, procuramos relacionar a espacialização da economia no centro da América do Sul às transformações da economia na primeira metade do século XVIII, em diversas escalas. / This thesis present a study about the spatialization of the colonial economy in the mines of Cuiabá and of Mato Grosso, in the center of South America in the first half of the eighteenth century. In the first chapter we demonstrate how some recurring images and interpretations about the economy reproduced in the colonial territories that would form the captaincy of Mato Grosso, are imposed regarding the documental evidences and are reproduced without questioning the assumptions that underpin them. In the second chapter, we defined our theoretical and methodological positioning in relation to cartographic documents. In the third chapter we analyze maps classified as sertanistas. We demonstrate that an analysis of rustic maps of sertanismo reveals a logical of the Portuguese expansion distant of the interpretations consecrated about these maps. In the fourth chapter we reconstruct the process of formation of rural environments in the first decade of colonization in the mines of Cuiabá, revealing the structuring a diversified land structure facing the trade and the internal market. In the fifth chapter we analyze the relationship between and administrative practices and the colonial economy spacialization. In the sixth chapter, we relate the economy spacialization at the center of South America with the transformations of the economy in the first half of the eighteenth century, in various scales.

Para tanto, tomou como fonte, documentos localizados sob a guarda da Secretaria Municipal de Educação (SME), bem como, outros coletados junto a profissionais que atuaram na Rede assumindo diferentes funções. A pesquisa se insere numa perspectiva crítica e interdisciplinar e está ancorada no paradigma de investigação qualitativa. Os procedimentos para coleta de dados estão assentados nos referenciais de March Bloch (2001) e Le Goff (2003), especialmente no que subsidiam a construção do conceito de documento e monumento, processos de seleção, organização, crítica e análise documental. Do trabalho, com as fontes documentais, emergiu três eixos recorrentes e significativos que deram visibilidade a continuidades e mudanças ocorridas na Política de Educação Infantil. São eles: diretrizes político-pedagógicas, formação de professores e currículo. A pesquisa revelou que o documento foi um potente suporte para a compreensão das políticas de educação infantil implementadas, dos sujeitos, e dos processos vivenciados. Revelou que as políticas implementadas pelas gestões municipais operaram em consonância com as mudanças legais ocorridas no âmbito nacional, com os embates teóricos e metodológicos do campo político e científico, e com as conferências internacionais que reclamaram à Educação Infantil, o direito alienado, a formaçao inicial, continuada e em serviço e o atendimento à criança pequena pautado na indissociabilidade entre o educar e o cuidar. / Abstract: This research aims at understanding the construction process of the Early Childhood Education Policy in the city of Campinas, São Paulo State, from 1993 to 2008. For that purpose, documents that were under the custody of the Municipal Education Department (SME), as well as others collected from professionals who have worked in different positions in the Municipal Department of Education were taken as sources. The research assumes a critical and interdisciplinary perspective and consists of a qualitative research. The procedures for data collection are based on March Bloch (2001) and Le Goff (2003), especially in the construction of the concepts of document and monument, selection processes, organization, critical and documental analysis. From the work with the documentary sources, three recurring and meaningful axes emerged that gave visibility to continuities and discontinuities in the Early Childhood Policy. They are: political-pedagogical guidelines, teacher training and curriculum. The research revealed that the document was a powerful support to the understanding of the early childhood education policies implemented, of the actors and of the processes experienced. The work showed that the policies implemented by the municipal administrators operated in accordance with legal changes at the national level, with the theoretical and methodological conflicts in the political and scientific areas and with the international conferences that claim to the early childhood education the alienated right to initial, continuing and in-service education, and the assistance of infants guided on the inseparable concepts of educating and caring. / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais na Educação / Doutora em Educação

Isto dificulta os processos de troca, anotação e recuperação de documentos. Enquanto mecanismos de recuperação da informação concentram-se apenas no processamento de características textuais (análise de corpus), estratégias de anotação de documentos procuram concentrar-se em formatos específicos ou exigem que o documento a ser anotado siga padrões de interoperabilidade - definidos por esquemas. Este trabalho apresenta o nosso esforço para lidar com estes problemas, propondo uma solução mais flexível para estes e outros processos. Ao invés de tentar modificar ou converter um documento, ou concentrar-se apenas nas características textuais deste, a estratégia descrita nesta dissertação propõe a elaboração de um descritor intermediário - denominado shadow - que representa e sumariza aspectos e elementos da estrutura e do conteúdo de um documento que sejam relevantes a um dado domínio. Shadows não se restringem à descrição de características textuais de um documento, preservando, por exemplo, a hierarquia entre os elementos e descrevendo outros tipos de artefatos, como artefatos multimídia. Além disto, Shadows podem ser anotados e armazenados em bancos de dados, permitindo consultas sobre a estrutura e conteúdo de documentos, independentemente de formatos / Abstract: Document production tools are present everywhere, resulting in an exponential growth of increasingly complex, distributed and heterogeneous documents. This hampers document exchange, as well as their annotation and retrieval. While information retrieval mechanisms concentrate on textual features (corpus analysis), annotation approaches either target specific formats or require that a document follows interoperable standards - defined via schemas. This work presents our effort to handle these problems, providing a more flexible solution. Rather than trying to modify or convert the document itself, or to target only textual characteristics, the strategy described in this work is based on an intermediate descriptor - the document shadow. A shadow represents domain-relevant aspects and elements of both structure and content of a given document. Shadows are not restricted to the description of textual features, but also concern other elements, such as multimedia artifacts. Furthermore, shadows can be stored in a database, thereby supporting queries on document structure and content, regardless document formats / Mestrado / Ciência da Computação / Mestre em Ciência da Computação

Context. Image searching in historical handwritten documents is a challenging problem in computer vision and pattern recognition. The amount of documents which have been digitalized is increasing each day, and the task to find occurrences of a selected sub-image in a collection of documents has special interest for historians and genealogist. Objectives. This thesis develops a technique for image searching in historical documents. Divided in three phases, first the document is segmented into sub-images according to the words on it. These sub-images are defined by a features vector with measurable attributes of its content. And based on these vectors, a clustering algorithm computes the distance between vectors to decide which images match with the selected by the user. Methods. The research methodology is experimentation. A quasi-experiment is designed based on repeated measures over a single group of data. The image processing, features selection, and clustering approach are the independent variables; whereas the accuracies measurements are the dependent variable. This design provides a measurement net based on a set of outcomes related to each other. Results. The statistical analysis is based on the F1 score to measure the accuracy of the experimental results. This test analyses the accuracy of the experiment regarding to its true positives, false positives, and false negatives detected. The average F-measure for the experiment conducted is F1 = 0.59, whereas the actual performance value of the method is matching ratio of 66.4%. Conclusions. This thesis provides a starting point in order to develop a search engine for historical document collections based on pattern recognition. The main research findings are focused in image enhancement and segmentation for degraded documents, and image matching based on features definition and cluster analysis.

The purpose of my study is to gain insight into how the education system (particularly social studies) is morally-minded based on the governing documents, former students and a textbook. I wanted to find out what morally-minded means and if it has a big role in social studies. Through interviews with former high school students (when my thesis is aimed at high school) I wanted to find out how they felt their social studies were educational and which the values that they had taken on from the lessons. I also chose to analyze a textbook to get a broader understanding of how the morally-minded education is written in specific areas relating to social studies. My study is a qualitative study and what I came up with is that the former students consider their social studies teaching lacked to some degree when it came to the morally-minded education.   My investigation concludes that the morally-minded education is important in social studies as the purpose of social studies is to promote active democratic citizens. In the curriculum for social studies, there is also a considerable scope for knowledge that is educational for the students. Although the former students feel that they lack the morally-minded educational part of social studies they agreed with the guidelines which values that is important.

Thesis deals with analysis and system design for automatic document recognition. The system explores the document and converts it into text data with information about the position of the word in original document. These data will then be reviewed and some of them will be assigned their importance. The way the data will be assigned is based on rules which may vary according to user needs. According to the data, their assignment and the importance of their position, the system finds a similar document and identifies the current document. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

This dissertation is based on a survey carried out in a particular Prague high school with both sports classes students and universal classes students. It is also based on school curriculum documents analysis. The author's aim was to reveal how a first aid issue is being dealt at this particular school. As well as find out the level of knowledge in first aid area both types of students possess. The last but not least goal was analysing students answers and evaluating whether there are differences between sports students' knowledge and universal students' knowledge. At the end the author will attempt to deduce practical advice out of all collected facts. Key words First Aid, School Curriculum Documents, Survey

Pendant plus de vingt ans (1543-1565), Jean de Bretagne, duc d’Étampes est à la tête de la Bretagne en tant que gouverneur de la province. Héritier des comtes de Penthièvre, eux mêmes issus des ducs de Bretagne, il devient un fidèle serviteur des Valois à qui il doit tous ses honneurs. Des sources renouvelées, tant épistolaires qu’administratives, permettent de cerner les contours du métier de gouverneur, dans une province en voie d’intégration au royaume de France, entre le règne de François Ier et les premières guerres de Religion. Si le rôle de défense armée en zone frontalière, est central, il est loin d’être le seul. Au quotidien, le gouverneur de Bretagne est impliqué dans des domaines très variés. Surtout, il est facteur d’union entre la province et le souverain-suzerain. Relais mais aussi intercesseur, le gouverneur est assurément un acteur politique de premier ordre dans une province dont il est le premier gentilhomme. Analyser ses réseaux, cerner son influence, mesurer son pouvoir permet de mieux appréhender le rôle d’un type de serviteur du roi souvent mal compris, voire mal jugé, par l’historiographie. / For more than twenty years (1543-1565), Jean de Bretagne, duke of Étampes, governs Brittany as King’s governor and lieutenant. Heir of the Counts of Penthièvre, he became a faithful servant of the Valois to whom he owed each one of his honors. Some renewed sources, both epistolary and administrative, make it possible to seize the profession ofprovincial governor in the process of integration to the kingdom of France, between the reign of Francis I and the first wars of Religion. If the armed defense role of a reputed border province is central, the governor deals with many other problems on a daily basis. Above all else, he is supposed to be the link between the province and the king. Broker but also intercessor, the governor is undoubtedly a preeminent political actor in the province. First gentleman of the province, all his networks, influences and powers must be analyzed as a whole to better understand the daily life of a type of royal servant often misjudged and misunderstood by historiography.

This study investigates the various types of practice concert pianists utilize in preparation for performance. There are surprisingly few published documents which examine the highest levels of piano practice, and this study examines these scarce ideas in comparison with the newly collected material given by eight selected concert pianists regarding their practice methods, techniques and regimes. Keyboard practice techniques from the middle of the 19th century until the present are examined and presented here. Some of the techniques are physical applications of how to practice the instrument, and others are mental preparations which suggest philosophical guidance toward physical practice or enhance performance capabilities. Advice from many famous (older) concert pianists regarding their practice is compared with the newer advice of the eight pianists selected for this study. The amalgamation of all the compiled suggestions should enlighten any pianist’s approach toward practice, and could also be a helpful compendium to any professors of piano who wish to offer a wider variety of practice methods to their students. / Thesis (DMus)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / hb2013 / Music / unrestricted

Graphic design applications are often used for the editing and design of digital art. The same applications can be used for creating counterfeit documents such as identity documents (IDs), driver’s licenses or passports, among others. The products of graphic design applications, however, leave behind traces of digital information which can be used during a digital forensic investigation. Although current digital forensic tools are designed to scrutinise systems with the purpose of finding digital evidence, the tools are not designed to examine such systems specifically for the purpose of identifying counterfeit documents. This dissertation reviews the digital evidence relating to the creation of counterfeit documents and gathered from graphic design applications. Digital evidence gathered in this way consists mainly of identifying and corroborating the counterfeiting events that occurred on a particular system. Firstly, such an analysis is accomplished by establishing linkages between the digital forensic information that has been gathered and the specific actions that were performed when the counterfeit documents were created. Such actions comprise scanning, editing, saving, and printing. The researcher is able to compile a dossier of the digital forensic information that is generated by such actions by analysing the files that were generated by making use of a particular graphic design application for document creation. Secondly, the researcher extends the analysis to the actual files created by the application user. These files can be used as evidence to establish linkages between the content of the counterfeit documents that are being investigated and the document editing actions that are necessary for creating such documents. The researcher gathers digital forensic information of this kind by analysing the different file types that are associated with these applications. The researcher then gathers the associated timeline evidence separately by means of a third analysis that identifies timestamps from the application’s system files and evidence files. The researcher is then able to draw a timeline from the timestamps to illustrate the sequence of events that occurred. From the digital evidence gathered in this way it is possible to propose a two-pronged counterfeiting investigation process. This proposed investigation process is application and platform independent. The researcher concludes the study by transforming the model into a working prototype by demonstrating how the prototype is capable of analysing and extracting digital forensic information from certain graphic design application file types and log files. Such a prototype is capable of identifying the system that was utilised for counterfeiting particular documents or identifying whether a specific document is counterfeited or not. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Computer Science / unrestricted
