abstract: Numerous studies have examined the interplay of climate, tectonics, biota and erosion and found that these variables are intertwined in a complicated system of feedbacks and as a result, some of these factors are often oversimplified or simply neglected. To understand the interplay of these factors one must understand the processes that transport or inhibit transport of soil. This study uses the short-lived, fallout-derived, radionuclides 137Cs and 210Pb to identify soil transport processes and to quantify soil transport using the profile distribution model for 137Cs. Using five field sites in the San Gabriel Mountains of California, I address four questions: (1) Is there a process transition between high and low gradient slopes observable with short-lived isotopes? (2) Do convex hilltops reflect short-term equilibrium erosion rates? (3) Do linear transects of pits accurately characterize hillslope averaged erosion rates? and (4) What role does fire play on short-term soil transport and isotope distribution? I find no evidence supporting a process transition from low gradient to high gradient slopes but also find that significant spatial variability of erosion rates exist. This spatial variability is the result of sensitivity of the method to small scale variations in isotopes and indicates that small scale processes may dominate broader scale trends. I find that short-term erosion rates are not at equilibrium on a convex hilltop and suggest the possibility of a headward incision signal. Data from a post-fire landscape indicates that fires may create complications in 137Cs and 210Pb distribution that current models for erosion calculation do not account for. I also find that across all my field sites soil transport processes can be identified and quantified using short-lived isotopes and I suggest high resolution grid sampling be used instead of linear transects so that small scale variability can be averaged out. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S.

This thesis discusses the historical development of the Syriac Orthodox Church of Anti- och based upon its origins in the Tur 'Abdin region up to the time of its believers' emig- ration to Europe. The difficulties with which the Church was confronted are discussed, duly referencing instances of conflict, division and political upheaval. The topic of the persecution of Christians is depicted by way of an excursus. The positive develo- pments, the golden ages through history and the current (continued) subsistence of old traditions and culture in European nations are also addressed. Concomitantly, a picture is presented of the situation of those believers who live in a diaspora and may be affec- ted by discrimination and difficulties in terms of integration. The current situation in the Near East is prompting the westward migration of persecuted peoples of the most diverse ethnicities and faiths. This thesis may serve as the basis for a comparative retro- spective, since it portrays the manner in which integration in Europe was once achieved.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / O colono português Gabriel Soares de Sousa apresentou à corte de Felipe II da Espanha, por volta de 1587, um dos mais importantes registros sobre o Brasil quinhentista, o Tratado descritivo do Brasil em 1587, e o bem menos conhecido Capítulos de Gabriel Soares de Sousa contra os padres da Companhia de Jesus no Brasil. Esta tese apresenta uma análise da história destes manuscritos quinhentistas, examinado como chegaram até os seus formatos atuais e as suas leituras através dos tempos. / The portuguese settler Gabriel Soares de Sousa presented to the court of Philip II of Spain, around 1587, one of the most important records of the sixteenth century Brazil, the Treaty of Brazil in 1587, and the less well known chapters of Gabriel Soares de Sousa against the Company's priests of Jesus in Brazil. This thesis presents an analysis of the history of these sixteenth century manuscripts, examined how they got their current formats and their readings over time.

Parce que Gabriel Marcel est un philosophe du vingtième siècle, il a profondément été marqué par la guerre, les techniques d'avilissement et le fanatisme qui s'y rattache. Mais pis encore, pour lui, le Mal qui ronge nos sociétés s'étend jusque dans la bureaucratie et le rendement. En conséquence, personne n'est à l'abri de la crise des valeurs qui sous-tend le monde contemporain. Selon Marcel, il n'y a qu'une seule solution possible afin de sortir de ce marasme: il faut passer par l'individu. Le philosophe français nous invitera donc tour à tour à la recherche de la vérité, à travers la dignité humaine, et la fraternité. Ainsi, réussirons-nous peut-être à reprendre contact avec une certaine sagesse: le but ultime de la philosophie.

The public examination of Gabriel Säll became his graduation project. Since the examination couldn´t be an artwork the examinators proposed Gabriel to make a second examination to discuss the first one. A new work was created. This MFA thesis include the transcription of Gabriels first examination, written by Frederick Oscarsson, administrator at the Royal Institute of Art, as well as a list feauturing all the contributors to Pubic Examination. To hear a story from one of the contributors in Public Examination, just call the switchboard number during our opening hours, Monday - Friday from 09:30 - 16:00. / <p>Pubic Examination #2 2016-11-16 16:30Board Room, Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm </p><p>Public Examination (private) #3 2017-05-24 10:00Office Petra Bauer, Lisa Tan, Nina Möntmann, Royal Institute of Art, Flaggmansvägen 1, Stockholm</p> / Public Examination
