Magistro darbas analizuoja įžymiųjų Frankfurto atstovų – Foucault ir Habermaso diskusiją, detaliau gilinamasi į komunikacinio veiksmo teorijos ir genealogijos metodų aiškinimą ir jų taikomumą. Nors apie šią diskusiją jau buvo plačiai analizuota ir apsvarstyta viešojoje akademinėje bendruomenėje, tačiau šio darbo išskirtinumas yra tai, kad gilinamasi į transgresijos perspektyvos atveriamus dekonstrukcijos ir rekonstrukcijos motyvų kryptingumų atskleidimus. Svarbu išsiaiškinti, ar socialinių formų destabilizacija įtakoja dekonstrukciją, ar rekonstrukcija nesudaro priežastinių ryšių santykių hierarchijos, vedančios link vienos krypties orientyro (vienpusiškumo)? Remiantis transgresijos sąvokos koncepcija, nurodančia įvykių nesugrįžtamo motyvo prielaidą ir panašių įvykių pakartotinumo galimumo motyvą. Apibendrinant pastaruosius pastebėjimus, galime teigti, kad rekonstrukcija ir dekonstrukcija atlieka svarbų vaidmenį socialiniuose moksluose atsirandantiems emerdžiškumams. Siekiant plačiau analizuoti komunikacinio veiksmo teorijos ir genealogijos metodų pateiktis, kuriamos koreliacijos, išryškinusios emerdžentiškumo motyvo skvarbių pretenzijų pasireiškimą. Magistrinis darbas siekia praturtinti klasikinės socialinės metodologijos keliamų klasifikavimo standartų nugulusius reikalavimus naujomis stiliaus atpažinimo galimybėmis, sutelkiančias lygiavertę lygiavimosi pretenziją į meninio stiliaus paraiškos svarumo pateiktį. / This masterʼs thesis analyses the debate of the famous Frankfurt representatives Foucault and Habermas, while examining in more detail the interpretation of the theory of communicative action and genealogy methods and their applicability. Although this debate has already been widely analyzed and discussed in the public academic community, however, the uniqueness of this paper is the analyzing of the disclosures of the purposefulness of the motifs of the deconstruction and reconstruction, revealed by the transgression perspective. It is important to find out, whether the deconstruction or reconstruction, which are influenced by the destabilization of social forms, do not constitute the hierarchy of causative relations, leading to the one – way target. Based on the notion of the transgression concept, indicating the hypothesis of the motif of the irreversibility of events and the motif of the possibility of the repeatedness of similar events. Summarizing the recent observations, it can be stated about the importance of the reconstruction and deconstruction in social sciences, while originating emergentisms. In order to analyze in more detail the method presentations of the theory of communicative actions and genealogy, the correlations are created, in order to emphasize the penetrating pretensions of the emergentism motif. This master‘s thesis aims to enrich the standard overlying classification requirements, raised by the classical social methodology, with the new... [to full text]

The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to describe and analyse how school children are constructed into being pupils at risk. The research questions focus on what governing practices and techniques are used for and how power relations are expressed in a pedagogical practice. An ethnographic case study was conducted. Empirical data was collected during one year’s time comprising documents (pupils’ written material, teachers’ logbooks), classroom observations, and interviews with teachers as well as interviews with pupils and their mothers. For analytical purposes the material was divided into three main fields: What is said – speech, What is written – text and What is done – action. This was analysed by applying some central terms derived from Michel Foucault: governmentality, genealogy, pastoral power, regulation and examination processes. How pupils’ deviate behaviour is currently interpreted and dealt with in a pedagogical practice was of particular interest here. The outcome of this study suggests that teachers are part of a normalisation process, steering each other on the basis of conceptions and ideas rooted in the power and knowledge generally applied to the ”good school” of today. In Foucaultian terms this could be described as a process in which teachers constitute themselves as moral subjects. The teachers’ own conviction of governing ”the good school” can, however, be contrasted by their deeply rooted conceptions of pupils. Pupils are compared and categorised on the basis of judgments of what normality is. These normalising judgments can be understood in the light of the schools’ task and function in society. This task and schools’ function are not quite visible in the pedagogical practice and conceptions of deviance become more comprehensible. The predominant conception is that pupils should be responsible subjects equipped with internalised self-regulatory techniques. Whenever this does not appear to be the case, a need for various kinds of expert knowledge is created with the intention of directing pupils and parents towards what is conceived as normality. While schools’ and teachers’ failure is temporary, judgements of pupils’ deviance prevail throughout their school years. Pupils’ own strategies are not of relevance for the pedagogical practice. An ensuing effect of this is the construction of risk zones by the very pedagogical practice that considers children irresponsible objects. This doctoral thesis results in a suggestion as to how we could benefit from the challenging power constituted by pupils.

This study examines landownership structures and settlement during the Middle Ages in the province of Östergötland in Sweden. It departs from a critical approach to the established view of social structure and property in the Scandinavian medieval society. The investigations are made at two levels. The first level is a cross section of the mid 16th century. This investigation shows that lay aristocrats and ecclesiastical institutions controlled most of the land, especially in the core areas of the parishes. The second level is a detailed investigation at the farm level in six parishes starting from the middle of the 16th century and working retrogresively to the early Middle Ages. This study shows that the landowning structure of the 16th century can be traced back to about AD 1300. For the early Middle Ages reconstructions are made through inheritance successions and genealogies of the aristocratic families. These reconstructions show that, in some parishes, most of the land was probably controlled by a few very rich families or dynasties during the early Middle Ages. The results lead to a question about the Viking Age and medieval society in general. This question is answered in a hypothesis stressing the development of the concept of land ownership in combination with the development of the land tenure system as one of the important factors for reproduction of local power during the Viking Age and early Middle Ages.

With my thesis work I question the evidence of history and how this evidence is read. I examine the theory of fractured history and alternate history, two examples of how perception of the past is completely altered when the science of reality is merged with imagination and mystery. As a vehicle for this examination, I use my own family history, something I am familiar with on many levels but also completely foreign to. As a curator of the story of my own history, I ask, "How can we know what is real?" and "If I say it is real, does that make it so?"

Lightless Mornings: A Fine Legacy represents a personal interrogation and historical account of my great-great -great grandfather, W.D. McCurdy’s use of forced labor in his coalmines and cotton plantations in the Black Belt region of Alabama during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through personal research including interviews with other descendents of McCurdy, as well as scholarly research about the practice of convict leasing in Alabama, I explore dynamics of inheritance, economics, power, privilege, race, class, geography, history, family, and identity.

Gastroenterites são uma das causas mais comuns e importantes de morbidade e mortalidade entre animais neonatos e juvenis, em muitos casos, ocasionadas por uma infecção intestinal múltipla, sendo os principais agentes virais entéricos em bovinos o rotavírus e o coronavírus bovino (BCoV). O BCoV tem distribuição mundial e causa gastroenterites em bezerros, disenteria de inverno em bovinos adultos e processos patológicos respiratórios, enquanto que nos equinos os coronavírus causam enterocolite neonatal em potros. Considerando-se que o coronavírus bovino é mais estudado do que os coronavírus equinos, havendo possibilidade de transmissão interespécies, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo a comparação multigênica do coronavírus em bovinos adultos com disenteria de inverno e bezerros com diarréia neonatal e em equinos do Brasil, com base em sequências parciais dos genes codificadores das proteínas hemagluninina-esterase (HE), espícula (S) e nucleoproteína (N). Foram utilizadas amostras fecais de 11 vacas leiteiras de um surto de disenteria de inverno e de 27 equinos testadas quanto a presença de Betacoronavirus com uma RT-PCR dirigida ao gene RdRp; em seguida, as amostras positivas foram submetidas as reações parciais de PCR para os genes N, HE e S, e posterior sequenciamento e análise genealógica. Além destas amostras, foram utilizadas 15 amostras fecais de bezerros, já estudadas parcialmente quanto ao gene S, submetidas as reações de RT-PCR para N e HE, e posterior sequenciamento e análise genealógica. Sequências representativas da população em estudo foram obtidas para todos os genes. Pode-se concluir que a genealogia de amostras entéricas de BCoV detectadas em bovinos jovens e adultos é diretamente associada a padrões geográficos quando se consideram os genes S e HE, sendo a genealogia de menor resolução para os genes HE e nucleoproteína N, para a qual há uma tendência a segregação por faixa etária do hospedeiro e que equinos podem apresentar Betacoronavirus indistinguíveis daqueles encontrados em bovinos. / Gastroenteritis is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality amongst young and newborn animals, often caused by multiple intestinal infections, being rotavirus and Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) the main viral causes in cattle. BCoV has a worldwide distribution and caused diarrhea in calves, winter dysentery in adult cattle and respiratory disease, while in horses coronaviruses lead to neonatal enterocolitis in foals. Taking into account that BCoV is more largely studied than equine coronaviruses and the possibility of interspecies transmission of these viruses, this research aimed to assess a multigenic comparison of coronaviruses from adult cattle with winter dysentery and calves with neonatal diarrhea as well as from equines, all from Brazil, based on partial sequences of the hemagglutinin-esterase (HE), spike (S) and nucleoprotein (N) genes. To this end, 11 samples from dairy cows with winter dysentery and 27 from horses were tested for Betacoronavirus using an RT-PCR targeted to the RdRp gene and the positive samples were next submitted to RT-PCRs to the partial amplification and sequencing of N, HE and S genes for genealogic analysis. Besides, 15 calves samples previously studied for the same S gene region were also submitted to the N and HE genes RT-PCRs and sequencing for genealogic analysis. Sequences representative of the population under study were obtained for all genes. It could be concluded that enteric BCoV genealogy from newborn and adult cattle is directly associated to geographic patterns when S and HE genes are taken into account, with a less-resolved genealogy for the HE and N genes, with a trend for an age-related segregation pattern for the last and also that horses might present Betacoronavirus undistinguishable from those found in cattle, a fact previously unknown.

O Brasil conquistou 38 medalhas no judô de 1956 a 2010 em Campeonatos. Mundiais (CM) e de 1964-2008 em Jogos Olímpicos (JO). Estas medalhas estão divididas entre 23 atletas. Sete deles conquistaram medalhas em JO e CM. Aurélio Miguel (1988-1996), Tiago Camilo (2000-2008) e Leandro Grilheiro (2004-2008), se destacam com duas medalhas em JO e em CM. O objetivo deste estudo é elaborar uma genealogia do judô brasileiro e compreender a dimensão da influência da imigração japonesa neste contexto. Este estudo utilizou a metodologia de História Oral de Vida Híbrida. Foram entrevistados os medalhistas brasileiros em JO e CM até 2010 e os seus respectivos professores. Analisando as entrevistas identifiquei os ascendentes judoísticos dos atletas, até a determinação dos seus respectivos genearcas. Assumiu-se que genearca é aquele que chegou ao Brasil com conhecimentos suficientes para ministrar aulas de judô/jiu-jitsu. A maioria dos genearcas do judô brasileiro são imigrantes japoneses. Fogem a essa regra o sensei Georges Mehdi, naturalizado brasileiro e o sensei João Graf Vassoux. Mitsuyo Maeda foi o primeiro a chegar e fazer demonstrações de judô no Brasil, em 1914. Em 1936 Ryuzo Ogawa fundou a Budokan. Ele é o genearca que influenciou o maior número destes atletas. Antes da Segunda Guerra Mundial (SGM) verifiquei a importância do trabalho de Yassuishi Ono, Sobei Tani, e Katsutoshi Naito, em SP, Sadai Ishihara no Paraná, Soishiro Satake em Manaus e Takeo Yano em vários estados. Após a SGM identifiquei a influência de Chiaki Ishii, Shuhei Okano e Onodera em SP, Teruo Obata e Naoshige Ushijima no RS e Michio Ninomiya no DF. O surgimento e a expansão do judô no Brasil está diretamente relacionado ao processo de imigração japonesa. Encontrei dois perfis de professores: os formadores e os treinadores. Destacam-se os professores: Massao Shinohara, Paulo Duarte, Orlando Hirakawa e Uichiro Umakakeba, formadores de nove judocas que conquistaram 18 das 38 medalhas brasileiras da história. Como treinador, destaca-se Floriano de Almeida que influenciou a carreira de sete medalhistas. Os locais de formação são distintos daqueles onde os atletas alcançaram as suas melhores performances. Entre os dojos formadores destaco as associações Vila Sônia em, Hirakawa e Paulo Duarte / Brazil won 38 medals at world championships (WC) from 1956 to 2010 and at Olympic Games (OG) from 1964 to 2008. Twenty three Brazilian athletes won those medals. Seven won medals on OG and WC. Aurélio Miguel (1988-1996), Tiago Camilo (2000-2008) and Leandro Grilheiro (2004-2008), won two medals at OG and at WC. This study searched for the judo roots from those athletes using oral histories of life as a methodology. All the 23 athletes, that won medals at world championship and/or Olympic Games until 2010 were interviewed as well as their coaches. The objective was to find the genearc from each athlete. Genearc is the sensei which had knowledge to teach judo/jiu-jitsu when they arrived in Brazil. Most of those genearcs are japanese immigrants, but we find two gaijins among them, sensei Georges Mehdi, who cames from France, and sensei João Graf Vassoux The first immigrants arrived in 1908 and Mitsuyo Maeda was the first figther to show jiu-jitsu/judô in Brasil, in 1914. Ryuzo Ogawa, who created the Budokan in 1936, is the genearc who had influence over most of those athletes. The Japanese play a very important role in the development of Brazilian judo. The teachers have two different profiles, professors or coaches. The judo clubs are also identified as places to begin and grow or place to train and win. Four professors were very important during this period, Massao Shinohara, Paulo Duarte, Orlando Hirakawa and Uichiro Umakakeba. They taught nine athletes which won 18 from 38 Brazilian medals. As a coach Floriano Almeida had great influence over seven Brazilian medalists. Before the II War Yassuishi Ono, Sobei Tani, Ryuzo Ogawa and Katsutoshi Naito were the most important names, in São Paulo; Sadai Ishihara, in Paraná; Ghengo Katayama and Yoshimasa Nagashima in Rio de Janeiro and Soishiro Satake, in Manaus. After the II War, Chiaki Ishii, Shuhei Okano and Onodera were important names in São Paulo, Teruo Obata and Naoshige Ushijima in Porto Alegre. and Michio Ninomiya in Brasília. Vila Sônia, Hirakawa and Paulo Duarte were the dojos which prepar more judo medalists from the begginig to the highest level

O coronavírus bovino (BCoV) é classificado no grupo 2 do gênero Coronavirus da ordem Nidovirales, família Coronaviridae, causando diarréia em bezerros neonatos, processos respiratórios em bezerros não neonatos e disenteria em vacas adultas. No presente estudo, 203 amostras fecais de bezerros de 19 propriedades leiteiras nos Estados de São Paulo e Minas Gerais foram submetidas à prova de hemaglutinação/ inibição da hemaglutinação (HA/HI) para a detecção de coronavírus e a uma reação de PCR dirigida ao gene codificador da RNA-polimerase RNA-dependente dos coronavírus (PCR pol), sendo feita a comparação entre as duas técnicas através dos testes Kappa e J de Youden. Amostras positivas à PCR pol foram submetidas a uma reação de PCR para amplificação de um segmento de 488 pares de bases correspondentes à região hipervariável do gene codificador da subunidade S1 da proteína S, sendo os fragmentos submetidos a seqüenciamento de DNA para a reconstrução genealógica das amostras estudadas. Ainda, a presença de rotavírus foi pesquisada pela técnica de PAGE. Segundo a técnica de HA/ HI, 35,47% das amostras e 73,68% das propriedades rurais forma positivas para BCoV, enquanto que pela PCR pol 25,12% das amostras e 52,63% das propriedades rurais foram positivas para este vírus. A comparação entre as duas técnicas resultou valores de kappa de -0,048 para os resultados individuais e -0,08 em relação às propriedades rurais e J de Youden de -0,045 para os resultados individuais e -0,1 em relação às propriedades rurais, demonstrando baixa concordância entre as duas provas. A genealogia obtida por máxima parcimônia através de algoritmo heurístico e baseada em seqüências da região hipervariável do gene codificador da subunidade S1 da proteína S de 15 amostras de campo aqui estudadas, da amostra Kakegawa de coronavírus bovino utilizada como controle positivo e de 10 seqüências recuperadas dos GenBank revelou a existência de dois genotipos dentro desta espécie viral, sendo os dois genotipos encontrados entre amostras brasileiras. A identidade média de nucleotídeos entre as 15 amostras brasileiras foi de 98,34%, com similaridade média de aminoácidos de 98%. Amostras pertencentes ao genotipo 2 apresentaram uma deleção de 18 nucleotídeos/ 6 aminoácidos dentro da região correspondente ao domínio II da proteína S. A árvore de máxima parcimônia enraizada tendo bredavírus como grupo externo revelou que esta deleção ocorreu em um único momento na genealogia dos coronavírus bovinos. Rotavírus foi encontrado em 12,6% das amostras fecais individuais e 28, 57% das propriedades rurais pesquisadas. Estes resultados são os primeiros baseados em amostras brasileiras de coronavírus bovino e contribuem para a caracterização molecular do BCoV, para a predição da eficiência de imunógenos e para o encontro de marcadores moleculares úteis para estudos epidemiológicos continuados em relação às diarréias neonatais em bovinos. / Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) belongs to group 2 of the genus Coronavirus from the order Nidovirales, family Coronaviridae and causes diarrhea in newborn calves, respiratory diseases in non-newborn calves and dysentery in cows. In the present study, 203 stool samples of calves from 19 dairy farms from São Paulo and Minas Gerais States were submitted to hemagglutination/ hemagglutination inhibition test (HA/HI) to bovine coronavirus detection and a PCR assay targeted to the RNA-polymerase RNA-dependent gene of coronaviruses (PCR pol), the comparison between the two tests carried out with Kappa and Youden´s J tests. Samples positive to PCR pol were submitted to a PCR assay that amplifies a 488 base-pair fragment which corresponds to the hypervariable region of the gene coding for the S1 subunit of the S protein; the amplified fragments were submitted to DNA sequencing aiming the genealogic reconstruction of the studied samples. Rotavirus was surveyed with the PAGE test. The HA/ HI test resulted 35.47% of samples and 73.68% of farms positive to BCoV, while, according to PCR pol, 25.12% of the samples and 52.63% of the farms were positive to this virus. The comparison between the two tests produced a kappa value of -0.048 to individual results and -0.08 to the farms and Youden´s J value of -0.045 to individual results and -0.1 to the farms, showing low agreement between the two tests. Maximum parsimony genealogy with an heuristic algorithm based on sequences of the hypervariable region of the gene coding for the S1 subunit of the S protein from 15 field samples here studied, from the Kakegawa bovine coronavirus strain used as positive control and from 10 sequences retrieved from GenBank showed the existence of two genotypes in this viral species. Mean nucleotide identity between the 15 Brazilian samples was 98.34%, with mean amino acid similarity of 98%. Samples from genotype 2 showed a deletion of 18 nucleotides/ 6 amino acids inside the domain II region of the S protein. Rooted maximum parsimony tree with bredavirus as an outgroup revealed that this deletion has happened only once in bovine coronavirus genealogy. Rotavirus was found in 12.6 % of stool samples and 28.57% of the surveyed farms. These are the first results based on Brazilian strains of bovine coronavirus and contribute to molecular characterization of BCoV, to the prediction of the efficiency of immunogens and to the finding of molecular markers useful to continued epidemiologic surveys on newborn bovine diarrhea.
