Por?m, ? preciso que se assinale um olhar para a pessoa e suas sensa??es, promovendo a intensifica??o do conhecimento de si e provocando transforma??es emp?ticas. O imbricamento mundo/ser pressup?e a experi?ncia estesiol?gica, permite pensar nas experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento como tais e formular reflex?es voltadas para uma educa??o que compreenda essas condi??es. Nas experi?ncias vividas na Gin?stica R?tmica (GR), esse estudo encontra seu locus investigativo. Para tanto, apresenta os seguintes objetivos: investigar experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento na GR, a partir da descri??o e interpreta??o do vivido; compreender os limiares entre as experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento na GR; refletir sobre as experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento como enigma do corpo e; estabelecer rela??es entre as experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento e a Educa??o. Essa pesquisa amplia as possibilidades de pensar a educa??o que n?o nega as sensa??es como foco e repensa o lugar da dor e do sofrimento de modo a relativiz?-las em favor dos limites individuais das sensa??es e das rela??es emp?ticas. A fenomenologia de Merleau-Ponty traz o m?todo e a ancoragem te?rica definindo a trajet?ria da escrita metaforizada pelo processo artesanal e art?stico de elabora??o de uma filigrana. A tese se estrutura em quatro cap?tulos: no Cap?tulo 1, intitulado ?CONTORNOS?, a GR ? situada em sua liga??o com a historicidade da Educa??o F?sica e dos Esportes, as vincula??es entre a hist?ria cultural da dor e a disciplina e o corpo estesiol?gico como campo. No Cap?tulo 2, denominado ?FIOS?, fazemos a descri??o das experi?ncias de forma a entremear a autobiografia, relatos de ex-ginastas da Sele??o Brasileira de Conjuntos de GR e narrativas constantes na obra Escola de Campe?s. O Cap?tulo 3, de nome ?TESSITURA ? Filamentos de interpreta??o?, refere-se ?s interpreta??es da GR que remetem a dor dos corpos gin?sticos rasgados pelas les?es, ao sofrimento gerado pelo enquadramento aos modelos de corpos e gestos e ?s situa??es vividas que tamb?m s?o percebidas como um limiar entre dores e sofrimentos apontado pelas ex-ginastas. O quarto e ?ltimo cap?tulo ? intitulado ?CORES ? Educa??o como enigma?, as interpreta??es, nesse momento da tese, a partir dos campos de sentido emergidos, tomam a forma de reflex?es sobre a educa??o. Por fim, considera-se que as sensa??es do corpo, inclu?das nas experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento s?o pot?ncias transformadoras e se configuram como consequentes conting?ncias existenciais encarnadas em um mundo real, recheado de contrastes, prazeres, desprazeres, gozos e desgra?as. N?o ? poss?vel negar as sensa??es do corpo porque fazer isso significa negar a pessoa. Ao contr?rio, ? preciso educar quem sente para sentir, pois uma educa??o centrada na estesiologia s? pode ser enigma, pois jamais poder? precisar o que pode o corpo. / In this thesis, it is affirmed that there is education in the experiences of pain and suffering, because they are configured as contingencies of an aesthesiological body. However, it is necessary to point a glance to the person and his sensations, promoting the intensification of self-knowledge and provoking empathic transformations. The overlapping world/to be presupposes the aesthesiologic experience, it allows us to think on the experiences of pain and suffering as such and to formulate reflections directed towards an education that understands these conditions. In the experiences of Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG), this study finds its research locus. To do so, it has the following objectives: to investigate experiences of pain and suffering in RG, based on the description and interpretation of the experience; to understand the thresholds between the experiences of pain and suffering in the RG; to reflect on the experiences of pain and suffering as the enigma of the body and; to establish relationships between the experiences of pain and suffering and Education. This research expands the possibilities of thinking on education that does not deny sensations as focus and rethinks the place of pain and suffering in order to relativize them in favor of individual limits of feelings and empathic relationships. Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology brings the method and the theoretical anchorage defining the trajectory of metaphorized writing by the artisanal and artistic process of elaborating a filigree. The thesis is structured in four chapters: in Chapter 1, entitled ?CONTOURS?, the RG is situated in its connection with the historicity of Physical Education and Sports, the linkages between the cultural history of pain and the discipline and the aesthesiological body as a field of experiences. In Chapter 2, called ?WIRES?, we describe the experiences in order to interweave the autobiography, reports of ex-gymnasts of the Brazilian Team of RG and constant narratives in the book School of Champions. Chapter 3, entitled ?TESSITURA ? Filaments of interpretation?, refers to the interpretations of RG that refer to the pain of gymnastic bodies torn by the lesions, the suffering generated by the adaptation to the models of bodies and gestures and the lived situations that are also perceived as a threshold between pain and suffering pointed by the former gymnasts. The fourth and final chapter is entitled ?COLORS ? Education as a puzzle?, the interpretations, at this point in the thesis, from the fields of emerged senses, take the form of reflections about education. Finally, it is considered that the sensations of the body, included in the experiences of pain and suffering, are transforming powers and are configured as consequential existential contingencies embodied in a real world, full of contrasts, pleasures, displeasures, joys and misfortunes. It is not possible do deny the sensations of the body because to do this means denying the person. On the contrary, it is necessary to educate who feels to feel, because an education centered in the aesthesiology can only be enigma, because it will never be able to specify what the body can.

Evaluation of "GIN method" at Two fans of City banan project in Stockholm

Neshati Sani, Mehran January 2015 (has links)
An underground installation with too much inflow can lead to dangerous consequences for around environment, therefore a well-sealed construction results in appropriate inflows. To mitigate movement of ground water table in underground constructions, it is necessary to seal the rock mass by grout injection. To fulfill the inflow requirement, cement based grouting is both practical and economical solution and is used in Sweden as permanent solution because of the good quality rock mass of Nordic countries. To achieve an effective and more economical grouting process, the method of stop criteria named GIN has been developed for underground constructions. "GIN method" is a method in formulating grouting works which provides possibility for minimizing the risk of hydro fracturing and hydro jacking in grouting process to optimize it in performance and cost of construction process. In this report the effort is testing the validity of this method in City banan project which is situated in Stockholm. Data are taken from the City banan project which is under construction by Traffikverket in Stockholm. To attain this aim, data from monitoring of grouting process was collected and Pressure and flow values were obtained and have been employed as input data in this report. After applying GIN method, results have been analyzed and discussed in detail. It has been shown that in studied cases, the theory cannot provide promising results and this method is difficult to be applicable in this project. Therefore, additional tests are needed to the exact suitable GIN number for the project.

The authenticity of Swedish Craft Gin : A multimodal analysis of marketing of Swedish Craft Gin for international audiences

Freij, Anton January 2022 (has links)
This thesis aims to investigate how Swedish Companies can appropriate products that have strong cultural connections towards other nations or cultures and reintroduce them onto an international market in an authentic way, with emphasis on their Swedish locality. To do this, the study used the booming market of Swedish Craft Gin Distilleries. With a multimodal approach and a comparative analysis of five different Swedish Craft Gin Producers and their international websites, the study explored how authenticity and locality are discursively constructed in the branding and promotion of Swedish Craft Gin Brand published in English for an international audience and market. Additionally, the multimodal analysis was complemented with an analysis of the intentions behind semantic choices and strategies in the marking, based on interview material from the Swedish podcast Gin Podden (The Gin Podcast). The study found that all of the five target distilleries use common themes and values to accommodate meaning, such as the handcrafted and the small scale, Swedish quality, technology and sustainability. Furthermore, the study found that locality is the key feature within construction of authenticity on the market, and that this is constructed and strengthened multimodally through written and visual elements.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Helaine Cristina Ferreira Lima.pdf: 965894 bytes, checksum: 4fb7dcf4d074a69720174e8574d373f5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-12-16 / This research discussed about the teachers formation that teaches gymnastics subjects in the Physical Education at Higher Education. The problem that conducted the study was: can the academics and professional formations and the experiences lived in the gymnastics area contribute to the teaching of this subject in the Higher Education? In which way? So, the main objective was to know and reflect about teaching carrier building, in special, gymnastics teaching in Higher Education and the specific objectives configured were: to discuss and reflect about the relation between experience and gymnastics practice with the teaching profession in this area; the Physical Education academic formation and the gymnastics professional formation and; possible contributions of the formatives experiences in the gymnastics teaching at Higher Education. The study, of qualitative nature, was made through field research, with data collection instruments such as questionnaire and semi-structured interview. We have researched eight gymnastics teachers, acting in eight Higher Education Institutions in the Metropolitan Region of Campinas. The data analysis was based on theoretical referential about Teachers Formation and Gymnastics in the Higher Education. Relating to the teachers experiences lived in the gymnastics before, during and after the beginning of the professional work as teacher, the results pointed that the big majority of them had a large involvement with this area, as ex-gymnastics, as groups and team?s leaders and also participating in academic and scientific events. We also identified, through the data, that the experience lived out of the academic formation are important sources of contribution to the teaching profession, that provides more knowledge about the professional reality. Hance, it fallows that the teaching knowledge building does not begin or end with the entrance in the professional teacher carrier and that the trajectories of life and the experiences constitute a dynamic knowing that can and might be in continuous transformation and dialogue with the momentary reality. We understand that studies like this, about teacher?s formation, can subsidize discussions around an educative practice that aspire the transformations through the formation of invidious more reflexive and compromised with a quality education. / Esta pesquisa tratou da trajet?ria de forma??o de docentes que ministram disciplinas de gin?stica na Educa??o F?sica no Ensino Superior. O problema que norteou o estudo foi: a forma??o acad?mica e profissional de docentes e as experi?ncias vividas na ?rea da gin?stica podem contribuir para o exerc?cio da doc?ncia nesta disciplina no Ensino Superior? De que maneira? Sendo assim, o objetivo geral foi conhecer e refletir sobre trajet?rias de constru??o de doc?ncia, em especial, a doc?ncia em Gin?stica no Ensino Superior e os objetivos espec?ficos se configuraram da seguinte maneira: discutir e refletir sobre a rela??o entre experi?ncias e a pr?tica da gin?stica com o exerc?cio da doc?ncia nesta ?rea; a forma??o acad?mica em Educa??o F?sica e a forma??o profissional em gin?stica; as poss?veis contribui??es das experi?ncias formativas na atua??o docente em gin?stica no Ensino Superior. O estudo, de natureza qualitativa, foi realizado por meio de pesquisa emp?rica cujos instrumentos de coleta de dados foram: question?rio com perguntas fechadas, abertas e dependentes e tamb?m entrevista semiestruturada. A pesquisa foi efetuada com oito docentes, que ministram disciplinas de gin?stica, atuantes em oito Institui??es de Ensino Superior da Regi?o Metropolitana de Campinas/SP. Os dados foram analisados ? luz do referencial te?rico sobre a Forma??o Docente e a Gin?stica no Ensino Superior. Com rela??o ?s experi?ncias dos professores, vivenciadas em gin?stica antes, durante e ap?s o in?cio da doc?ncia no Ensino Superior, os resultados apontaram que a maioria destes possui grande envolvimento com a ?rea, como ex-praticantes, dirigindo grupos e equipes g?mnicas e tamb?m participando de eventos acad?micos e cient?ficos. Identificamos tamb?m, por meio dos dados obtidos, que as experi?ncias vividas fora da forma??o acad?mica s?o importantes fontes de contribui??o para o exerc?cio da doc?ncia, que permitem aos professores um maior conhecimento da realidade profissional. Portanto, consideramos que a constru??o dos saberes docentes n?o se inicia nem finda com a entrada na profiss?o docente e que as trajet?rias de vida e as experi?ncias constituem um saber din?mico, o qual pode e deve estar em constante transforma??o e di?logo com a realidade moment?nea. Entendemos que estudos como este, sobre a forma??o docente, podem subsidiar discuss?es em torno de uma pr?tica educativa, que aspire ?s transforma??es por meio da forma??o de indiv?duos mais reflexivos e comprometidos com a educa??o de qualidade.

Mikrotjänster med Quarkus och Gin : En jämförelsestudie ur ett prestandaperspektiv / Microservices with Quarkus and Gin : A comparative performance study

Nilsson, Adrian January 2023 (has links)
Att utveckla applikationer med mikrotjänstarkitektur har idag blivit ett trendande tillvägagångssätt för att skapa tjänster som är anpassade för att köras i molnet med fördelar som mindre underhållsarbete och lättare skalbarhet. Mikrotjänster kännetecknas som löstkopplade och oberoende tjänster som kommunicerar genom att exponera ett API. För många populära programmeringsspråk, som till exempel Java, finns det flera ramverk att använda för att underlätta utvecklandet av mikrotjänster. Företaget Redpill Linpro i Karlstad, som är uppdragsgivare för den här studien, använder sig idag av Javaramverket Quarkus vid utvecklandet av mikrotjänster. De är dock intresserade av att veta hur mikrotjänster som utvecklats i Quarkus jämför sig prestandamässigt mot mikrotjänster som utvecklats i ett annat programmeringsspråk. Redpill Linpro har märkt att intresset för programmeringsspråket Go har ökat på sistone. I Gos officiella dokumentation rekommenderas ramverket Gin för att få bättre prestanda när det kommer till att utveckla tjänster som exponerar ett API. Redpill Linpro har tilldelat författaren av denna uppsats ett uppdrag att utveckla mikrotjänster med hjälp av ramverken Quarkus och Gin för att studera skillnader i prestanda samt beskriva tillvägagångssättet för hur utvecklingen av mikrotjänsterna gått till. Studien syfte är att identifiera vilken av mikrotjänsterna utvecklade i Gin eller Quarkus som presterar snabbast beträffande kompileringstid och uppstartstid, skillnader i filstorlek och skillnader i responstid vid HTTP-anropen GET och POST med och utan koppling till databas. Även vilken mikrotjänst som använder minst CPU-kraft och RAM-minne. Studiens resultat visar för- och nackdelar med båda ramverken men att mikrotjänsterna skapade med Gin presterade bäst i flest antalet parametrar som mättes i den här studien.

Modeling of Particulate Matter Emissions from Agricultural Operations

Bairy, Jnana 1988- 02 October 2013 (has links)
State Air Pollution Regulation Agencies (SAPRAs) issue and enforce permits that limit particulate matter emissions from all sources including layer and broiler facilities, cattle feedyards, dairies, cotton gins, and grain elevators. In this research, a process was developed to determine distances from emitting sources to where the estimated concentrations were less than the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). These distances are a function of emission rates and meteorological conditions. Different protocols were used to develop emission factors for cattle feedyards and layer houses. Dispersion modeling with American Meteorological Society/Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD) was conducted to determine the emissions of particulate matter. These data were used to determine the distances from the sources to where the concentrations of particulate matter (PM) would be less than the NAAQS. The current air-permitting process requires that concentrations from a source do not exceed the NAAQS at the property line and beyond for the facility to be in compliance with its permit conditions. Emission factors for particulate matter less than 10 micrometers (PM10) were developed for cattle feedyards using a reverse modeling protocol and Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) sampler data. Corrections were applied to the TEOM measurements to account for TEOM vs. filter-based low-volume (FBLV) sampler bias and over-sampling of PM10 pre-collectors. Invalid concentrations and dust peaks larger than mean ± 3 times the standard deviation were excluded from this study. AERMOD predictions of downwind concentrations at cotton gins were observed for compliance with 24-hour PM10 and PM2.5 NAAQS at property lines. The emissions from three cotton gins were analyzed at 50 m and 100 m distances. TEOM and FBLV samplers were used to collect 24-hour PM10 measurements inside a laying hen house. The distances to the property lines at which the emissions of PM10 were below the 24-hour average PM10 standards were estimated using AERMOD. The results suggested that the special use of the NAAQS for as the property-line concentration not to be exceeded, could be problematic to agriculture. Emission factors that were comparable of published emission factors were obtained in this study. Large distances to property lines were required when minimum flow rate recommendations were not considered. Emission factors that are representative of the emissions in a particular facility are essential; else facilities could be inappropriately regulated.
