abstract: This creative project provides an adaptation of J. S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, for the Fritts Organ at Arizona State University. This organ was designed and built by Paul Fritts and Co. in 1992, and is in the style of the high-Baroque instruments of Northern Europe. Along with the musical score of the adaptation, this document discusses the registration choices included as well as relevant historical and performance practice details about the piece. A link to the recording of the author’s April 2017 performance of this edition of the Goldberg Variations on the ASU Fritts Organ is included with the project. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2017

The thesis starts with a brief introduction to the algebraic classificati- on of tensors and spacetimes in higher dimensions. Attempts to generalize the Goldberg-Sachs theorem are also discussed. There is a summary of main results for optical matrices of algebraically special spacetimes in higher dimensions. The optical matrix for a type III spacetime in six dimensions is found using Bianchi identities. A few properties of type III optical matrices in a general dimension are also found. Various properties of equations obtained from Bianchi identities for type III spacetimes are studied in appendices. 1

S. Bach, o presente trabalho traz um enfoque eminentemente humanístico, através do qual transparece a intenção do compositor de estruturar, na forma de tema e variações um ?guia para a formação do homem completo? Esta intenção se manifesta na organização geral da obra, com uma clara divisão em três grupos de variações, nos quais são explorados aspectos técnicos, composicionais e de interpretação. Com base na visão antroposófica de Rudolf Steiner, e encontrando apoio em autores como Ingrid e Helmut Kaussler, e Hermann Pfrogner, estabelece-se uma relação entre o trabalho de preparação da obra e o desenvolvimento interno do intérprete, ao estudar a música, ou do ouvinte, ao se expor a ela o homem se vê refletido na obra de arte, tornando-se parte dela, e ao mesmo tempo contemplando-a à distância. . No exercício de reconhecer as mensagens contidas na obra de arte, toma-se sensível à sua própria dinâmica interna, e percebe-se renovado pela ordem e harmonia do universo / Abstract: Not informed. / Doutorado / Doutor em Artes

We will specially focus on Brazilian Short Stories, Series Little Blue Books, nº 733, published by Haldeman-Julius Company in 1925. The pioneer role of the North-American literary critic Isaac Goldberg (1887-1938) as a go-between and organizer of some Brazilian literary works of Art as well as of some Lobato's earliest published material in The United States of America will also be pursued. We also aim to examine the accomplishments of two transpositions of the short story O Engraçado Arrependido into English. The literary works are: "The Penitent Wag" in Brazilian Short Stories, Little Blue Book nº 733, by Haldeman Julius Company (1925) and The Funny Man Who Repented published in A World Of Great Stories by Crown Publisher(1947). In order to attain this target we intend to compare the text in Portuguese (9th edition, Urupês, 1923), with the mentioned transpositions into English in 1925 and 1947. / Este trabalho discutirá, num primeiro momento, expectativas e interesses do escritor Monteiro Lobato (1882-1948) em relação à publicação, no idioma inglês, de seus contos no mercado livreiro norte-americano que dispunha, na ocasião, de um contingente maior de leitores. Destacaremos, primeiramente, a obra Brazilian Short Stories, Série Little Blue Books nº. 733, lançada pela editora Haldeman Julius em 1925. A pesquisa pretende, também, investigar o papel do crítico literário norte-americano Isaac Goldberg (1887-1938) estacando o pioneirismo de seu papel como intermediário e divulgador de obras da literatura brasileira nos Estados Unidos, nas primeiras décadas do século XX. Num segundo momento, será objeto de análise duas transposições do conto "O Engraçado Arrependido", nona edição de Urupês, 1923, que neste trabalho será a obra cotejada como texto de partida, com os dois textos de chegada em língua inglesa: "The Penitent Wag", publicado em Brazilian Short Stories (1925), pela Haldeman-Julius Company e "The Funny-Man Who Repented", título dado ao conto na coletânea A World Of Great Stories (1947), publicada pela Crown Publishers Inc.

Lea Goldberg [1911-1970] is one of modern Hebrew literature’s most significant poet/translators. This thesis approaches her early poetry and prose from the perspective of three theories of translation. ‘Polysystems’, ‘norms’, and ‘pseudotranslation’ grew from the scholarly and translation-lineage in Hebrew literary studies that Goldberg herself contributed to. Utilizing these three methods of reading, this thesis argues that translation’s thematization in Goldberg’s creative work is evidence for the poet’s ideal for a cosmopolitan, multilingual, national literature in the new Jewish State. This receptive stance to previous and concurrent literary traditions was met with much skepticism and criticism from Goldberg’s colleagues, and as a result, Goldberg’s oeuvre occupies a more peripheral position than several of her contemporaries.

La déficience intellectuelle (DI) correspond à un défaut des performances intellectuelles et des fonctions adaptatives, débutant dans l’enfance. Il est estimé que 2-3% des individus développeront une DI, ce qui représente un enjeu médical important puisque les personnes avec DI sont fréquemment en situation de dépendance sociale. Dans l’ensemble, on estime majoritaire l’implication de facteurs génétique dans cette pathologie. A ce jour, plusieurs centaines de gènes sont connus pour être responsables de DI. La DI est notamment caractérisée par une extrême hétérogénéité clinique et génétique, qui l’a rendue résistante aux études génétiques classiques. Toutefois, on différencie les DI syndromiques, qui peuvent être cliniquement reconnaissables en raison des anomalies du développement qui lui est associées ; des DI isolées, sans signe distinctif.L’objectif de cette thèse est d’identifier des bases moléculaires de DI par la combinaison de deux approches. La première repose sur l’application systématique d’une recherche de microréarrangements chromosomiques par CGH-array dans un groupe de patients avec DI pour constituer a posteriori des groupes de patients homogènes. La seconde est basée sur une cohorte de patients avec DI syndromique homogène, porteurs d’un syndrome de Shprintzen-Goldberg de diagnostic clinique, étudiée par séquençage haut débit d’exome. Cette thèse définit de nouvelles entités cliniques par l’identification de variations génétiques récurrentes entre plusieurs patients comprenant la description de deux syndromes microdélétionnels, et de deux gènes candidats à la DI. De plus, nous avons pu identifier la base moléculaire du syndrome de Shprintzen-Goldberg par la mise en évidence d’un hotspot mutationnel du gène SKI. / Intellectual disability (ID) corresponds to abnormal intellectual performances and adaptive functions, beginning in childhood. It is estimated that 2-3% of individuals develop a ID, which represents a significant medical challenge since people with ID are frequently in situations of social dependence. Overall, a critical involvement of genetic factors in this disease is suspected. To date, several hundreds of genes are known to be responsible for ID. The ID is particularly characterized by extreme clinical and genetic heterogeneity, that made it resistant to conventional genetic studies. However, it is classicaly separated between syndromic ID, which may be clinically recognizable due to associated congenital anomalies; isolated ID, without disctinctive features.The objective of this thesis was to identify the molecular basis of ID by combining both approaches. The first is based on the systematic identification of chromosomal microrearrangements using array-CGH in a group of patients with ID, to constitute a posteriori homogeneous cohorts. The second is based on a cohort of patients with a clinical diagnosis of Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome studied by high throughput sequencing.This thesis defines new clinical entities by identifying recurrent genetic variations between different patients including the description of two microdeletionnal syndromes, and two candidate genes to the ID. In addition, we identified the molecular basis for the Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome by highlighting a mutational hotspot in the SKI gene.
