Orientador: Cláudia Valéria Seullner Brandão / Resumo: Objetivou-se neste estudo descrever e analisar as alterações ceratométricas da curvatura anterior e posterior da córnea, ceratometria total, espessura corneana, volume e profundidade de câmara anterior, durante o crescimento de coelhos por meio do sistema combinado de disco de Plácido e duas câmeras de Scheimpflug. Para isso foram estudados 28 coelhos (Oryctolagus cuniculus) do grupo genético de Botucatu, distribuídos aleatoriamente em dois grupos experimentais. Os animais do grupo1 (n=15) foram avaliados aos dois (M2), três (M3), quatro (M4) e aos cinco (M5) meses de idade. Enquanto que os animais do grupo 2 (n=13), aos cinco (M5), oito (M8), doze (M12) e quatorze (M14) meses de idade. Considerando os estados refrativos da curvatura anterior e da ceratometria corneana total verificou-se diminuição progressiva (aplanamento) ao longo do primeiro ano de vida dos coelhos com tendência a estabilização em M12. De modo contrário, na curvatura posterior foi observado aumento com estabilização no M5. Na espessura corneana houve aumento até M4 e posterior estabilização do M5 ao M12 com aumento não significativo entre M12 e M14. Quanto ao volume e profundidade de câmara anterior verificou-se correlação positiva com a idade, e estabilização aos quatro meses de idade. O uso do sistema duplo Scheimpflug e disco de plácido possibilitou identificar a influência da idade sobre o estado de refração da córnea, tanto em sua curvatura como espessura em coelhos durante a fase de crescimento, bem ...

For this purpose, were studied 28 rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) of the Botucatu genetic group randomly assigned to two experimental groups. Animals of group 1 (n = 15) were evaluated at two (M2), three (M3), four (M4) and five (M5) months of age. While the animals in group 2 (n = 13), at five (M5), eight (M8), twelve (M12) and fourteen (M14) months of age. Refractive states of anterior curvature and corneal keratometry showed a progressive decrease (flattening) throughout the first year of life of rabbits presenting a tendency to stabilize in M12. On the other hand, an increase of the posterior curvature was observed with stabilization in M5. Corneal thickness presented an increase until M4 and subsequent stabilization of M5 to M12 with a non significant increase between M12 and M14. As to the anterior chamber volume and depth, there was a positive correlation with age, and stabilization at four months of age. Therefore, the use of the Double Scheimpflug system and Placido disc allowed to identify the influence of age on the refractive state of the cornea, both in its curvature and thickness in rabbits during the growth phase, as well as in volume and depth of the anterior chamber.

No entanto, a dimensão empírica da prática científica, enquanto constitutiva do conhecimento científico, é pouco explorada nas aulas de Física. A exemplo do que acontece com os aspectos históricos e filosóficos, geralmente concebidos como adereços motivacionais ao ensino da ciência, a experimentação científica, que a prática laboratorial representa, permanece ocultada, quando não distorcida. O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir o uso de "experimentos históricos" no Ensino de Física como estratégia no processo de contextualização e articulação da dimensão histórica do conhecimento científico na sala de aula. Como exemplo desta articulação, sugerimos o resgate da experiência do Plano Inclinado, extraída da obra Discursos e Demonstrações Matemáticas acerca de Duas Novas Ciências (1638), de Galileu Galilei (1564-1642), onde a lei de queda dos corpos é investigada. Propomos ainda a exploração desse tema no contexto de sala de aula, sobretudo, através do emprego de simulações computacionais com o software Modellus. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The natural sciences are regarded as empirical sciences because experimentation plays a central role in the process of production of new knowledge (Höttecke, 2000). However, the empirical dimension of scientific practice even though being an essential part of scientific knowledge is poorly used in the teaching of physics inside the classroom. As what happens with the historical and philosophical aspects, in general considered as secondary aspect to science education, scientific experimentation, represented in the laboratory practice, remains occult if not distorted. The purpose of this work is to discuss the use of “historical experiments” in the Teaching of Physics as a strategy in contextualizing and articulating the historical dimension of scientific knowledge inside the classroom. As an example of this articulation, the use of the inclined plane used in the Discourses and Mathematical Demonstrations about the Two New Sciences (1638) of Galileu Galilei (1564-1642) is suggested, where the law of the fall of the bodies is investigated. We propose in exploration, that this should be researched in the classroom context, mainly through the means of computational simulations with the software Modellus.

abstract: In 1568, Vincenzo Galilei published the first edition of Fronimo as a guide to the art of intabulating vocal music for the lute. A second edition was released in 1584 in which Galilei presents “26 Ricercari” to demonstrate the sound of each Glarean mode. These short works provide a methodical approach to experiencing the Renaissance modes through his beautiful writing for the lute. This research project focuses on the “26 Ricercari” and explores the challenges of transcribing and arranging Renaissance lute tablatures to be played on the guitar. Topics such as making decisions for voicings, fingerings, tactus reductions, and formatting are examined. Historically-informed playing suggestions such as articulations, lute techniques, and tempo are also included. Many lute and vihuela works, like the ricercari, have not yet been transcribed. The ricerari tablatures are idiomatic and instantly playable for guitarists who are familiar with different forms of tablature, but most classical guitarists today are familiar only with modern staff notation. Because of this, Galilei’s works have been wrongfully neglected. My project presents the first guitar edition of these works, along with the documentation of my methodology, and serves as an aid to others for transcribing lute tablatures. / Dissertation/Thesis / "26 Ricercari" by Vincenzo Galilei, arranged and performed by John Oeth / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2020

The purpose of this study is to provide a practical English translation of Vincenzo Galilei's significant treatise on ancient and modern music (1581). In spite of the important place this work holds in the history of music, it has never before been made available in its entirety in any language other than the original Italian. This volume includes chapters 4-6, with an index and bibliography for the entire dissertation.

De nombreuses représentations de Galilée évoquent un conflit entre lui et l’Église catholique : Galilée devient le symbole de l’opposition entre la science et la religion. Or, dans la Lettre à Christine de Lorraine, Galilée propose une réflexion à propos de l’interprétation des Écritures dans un contexte de philosophie naturelle. Après avoir présenté une synthèse de cette Lettre ainsi que le contexte de rédaction, il sera possible de l’interpréter à partir d’une typologie de l’articulation des discours religieux et des discours scientifiques et ce, dans le but de caractériser les rapports "science et religion" développés par Galilée. La typologie sera ici un outil herméneutique permettant de déceler ces rapports à partir de catégories prédéfinies (conflit, indépendance, complémentarité, intégration). Il apparaîtra que Galilée présente plusieurs types de rapports « science et religion ». Cette approche a l’avantage de développer une interprétation originale de la Lettre.

This thesis deals with the personality and life of the Tuscan Renaissance scientist Galileo Galilei, a time in which he lived, and his relationship with the Catholic Church. The aim of the thesis is to acquaint the reader with the life of Galileo Galilei and Renaissance society, and thus capture important moments and influences that shaped Galileo's personality and life orientation. The thesis is divided into three main chapters. The first part deals with the Renaissance period and the related European Reformation. It focuses on the Renaissance in Italy, then education, religious situation and seeing the world. The second chapter is dedicated to Galileo's biography, with regard to his work and then researchers who were with Galileo joint activity. The last part refers to the religious situation of 16th to 17th century, considering the Council of Trent, the Roman Inquisition and the cosmology of how the people regarded it in antiquity and later the Catholic Church and scientists in the early modern period. This part especially illustrates the conflict Galileo and the Church. It describes the reasons of the conflict, the trial of Galileo and the consequences that flowed from it. The thesis is supplemented with events after Galileo's death. The conclusion summarizes the most important influences that...

He was a music-theorist, a lutenist and a teacher. He was sent to Venice to start theoretical studies with Gioseffo Zarlino and interested in the studies of ancient texts, he was helped by the philologist Girolamo Mei. Galilei had basically two main goals. The first was to clarify, what he called misunderstood facts of the history of music and the second was to restore music to its original place among the sciences. Therefore he explored the nature of ancient music in a very detailed and systematic fashion and provided novelties based mostly on the results of his investigative method. In experimenting with different materials, cotton, metal, wood, etc., combined into different shapes, Galilei showed to take matter into account to know how it affects the behavior of the instruments. Despite the fact that Music was based on the concept of number, and that most of the musical theorists of the sixteenth century were not interested in the physical nature of sound or in the materials that produce it, Vincenzo Galilei succeeded to provide to Music a new basis, named sound / Vincenzo Galilei foi um músico teórico, alaudista e professor, nascido em uma pequena cidade nos arredores de Florença na primeira metade do século XVI. Embora pouco se saiba de sua formação, sabe-se que após os seus estudos com o teórico Gioseffo Zarlino, manteve intensa correspondência com o filólogo Girolamo Mei que o introduziu aos textos da antigüidade clássica. Vincenzo Galilei estudou e criticou os textos clássicos e desenvolveu experimentações com instrumentos. Ao estudar os instrumentos musicais e os materiais de que eram constituídos, Galilei buscava solucionar problemas musicais. A sua análise dos diversos comportamentos dos materiais, assim como dos instrumentos, proveu um novo fundamento para a música teórica. Galilei concluía que a Música não estava embasada no número, como acreditavam alguns teóricos de sua época, mas no fenômeno físico sonoro

The intention is to apply it to high school classes, claiming that it might motivate these students to learn concepts related to physics, and should be able to better understand the subjective nature of what is behind the science and its construction process. It is intended to perform the experiment and guide the activities in order that the activities that students can better understand scientific knowledge as a result of human construction, as well as its inherent limitations, realizing that the science development is based on model making and experimentation, among others, which can be modified along the time. The discussion and investigation of the assumptions made by the great physicist, in the elaboration of the theory of falling bodies, and their validity, may result in rich discussions of scientific development. Students may discuss the possibility of adoption and acceptance of misconceptions in science, and what implications these have for the development of scientific theories. The work analyzes the measurement of time of ball bearings on the inclined plane, evaluating the primitive methods that Galileo could have used to reach its conclusions regarding this type of movement. The dissertation also approaches modern methods, as for example, the measurements of falling objects using a tape recorder of a microcomputer, and finally both time measurement procedures are discussing emphasizing historical and modern discussion of both forms, comparing historical and modern aspects in the development of science. Performed activities, finalize the work with the results of the project and its completion, prospects of continuity, assessing the feasibility of its use as an educational product that can serve as a tool in the process of teaching and learning in high school and used by other teachers in other contexts. / Este trabalho objetiva fazer uma reprodução adaptada do experimento clássico do plano inclinado, atribuído a Galileu Galilei. A intenção é a criação de situações de aprendizagem para serem aplicadas em turmas do ensino médio, pretendendo que as mesmas possam vir a ser um elemento motivador para que estes alunos aprendam conceitos ligados à física, bem como tenham condições de melhor perceber o caráter subjetivo que existe por trás da ciência e do seu processo de construção. Pretende-se com a realização do experimento, e com o direcionamento dado às atividades, que os estudantes possam melhor visualizar o conhecimento científico como fruto de uma construção humana, bem como suas limitações intrínsecas, percebendo que este se solidifica baseado na construção de modelos e hipóteses, que são modificados com o decorrer do tempo. A discussão e averiguação das hipóteses feitas pelo grande físico, na elaboração da teoria da queda dos corpos, bem como a validade das mesmas, poderá ser fruto de ricas discussões sobre o desenvolvimento científico. Os alunos poderão discutir sobre a possibilidade da adoção e aceitação de ideias equivocadas na ciência e as implicações que as mesmas teriam para a elaboração das teorias científicas. O trabalho pretende analisar a medição dos tempos de rolamentos de esferas sobre o plano inclinado, avaliando os métodos que Galileu poderia ter utilizado para efetuá-los e suas conclusões a respeito deste tipo de movimento, bem como fazer uma releitura apresentando métodos mais modernos, como por exemplo, a medição destes tempos com o gravador de som de um microcomputador, e a posterior discussão sobre ambas as formas, confrontando aspectos históricos e modernos na elaboração da ciência. Aplicadas as atividades, finalizaremos o trabalho com os resultados do projeto, e sua conclusão, perspectivas de continuidade, avaliando a viabilidade de sua utilização como um produto educacional que possa servir como ferramenta no processo de ensino aprendizagem em nível médio e utilizado por outros professores em outros contextos.
