Generating all hexahedral meshes on arbitrary geometries has been an area of important research in recent history. Hexahedral meshes have advantages over tetrahedral meshes in structural mechanics because they provide more accurate results with fewer degrees of freedom. Many different approaches have been used to create all-hexahedral meshes. Grid-based, inside-out, or superposition meshing all refer to a similar meshing approach that is a very common mesh generation technique. Grid-based algorithms provide the ability to generate all hexahedral meshes by introducing a structured mesh that bounds the complete body modeled, marking hexahedra to define an interior and exterior mesh, manipulating the boundary region between interior and exterior regions of the structured mesh to fit the specific boundary of the body, and finally, discarding the exterior hexahedra from the given body. Such algorithms generally provide high quality meshes on the interior of the body yet distort element at the boundary in order to fill voids and match surfaces along these regions. The sculpting algorithm as presented here, addresses the difficulty in forming quality elements near boundary regions in two ways. The algorithm first finds more intelligent methods to define a structured mesh that conforms to the body to lessen large distortions to the boundary elements. Second, the algorithm uses collapsing templates to adjust the position of boundary elements to mimic the topology of the body prior to capturing the geometric boundary.

'Institutional critique' is a term that refers to a range of diverse artistic practices and discourses that emerged at the end of the 1960s and that continue in the present. In spite of their differences, they all share a concern with the institutional conditioning of artists and artworks. Various historicizations of institutional critique (Alberro and Stimson, 2009; Raunig and Ray, 2009; Welchman, 2006) concur that one could distinguish two 'phases': artists of the 1960s and 1970s allegedly investigated the possibilities of an escape towards an 'outside' of the art institution, whereas those of the 1990s analysed the ways in which the artistic subject reproduced the structures of the art institution. Since the beginning of the 2000s various artists and authors have revisited the histories and legacies of institutional critique. This growing interest was triggered by the perceived intensification of a process that began at the end of the 1960s; it refers to the recuperation and neutralization of artistic types of critique by what Boltanski and Chiapello (2005) have called the 'new spirit' of capitalism. In this context, the Austrian philosopher Gerald Raunig and the members of the European Institute for Progressive Cultural Policies have proposed the hypothesis that 'a new phase' of institutional critique was to emerge. However, this proposition was based less on empirical evidence, than on a 'political and theoretical necessity to be found in the logic of institutional critique' (Raunig, 2009, 3). This thesis is a response to this set of circumstances. By asking 'what are the conditions and possibilities of institutional critique?' it investigates the categories of institutional critique's logic. My main argument is that a 'phase change' of institutional critique could and should be understood through the apparatus of Derridean deconstruction. This implies a criticism of the idea that one needs to escape the art institution in order to respond to urgencies stemming from the social, economic, and political realms (Truth Is Concrete Platform, 2012). At the same time, I will also refute the idea that institutional critique is trapped in the art institution (Fraser, 2009a). Institutional critique works on the remainder and rest that necessarily escapes the instituting will and intention of defining and describing in an exhaustive manner the whatness of what (art) is (Boltanski, 2011). I show that between critique and the art institution there is an irreducible relation of symbiosis and cohabitation, and that the deconstructive logic of institutional critique allows it to be both partner and adversary, at the same time, of the art institution.

<p>This work attempts an answer to two questions. Firstly, is it possible to experience meaning when everything is transient? And secondly, in what way is objectivity possible when it comes to such phenomena as existential meaning? The questions originate from our insideperspective, and it is from what we have experienced ourselves that we try to make intelligible existential meaning. We are to a great extent part of the context in which we live. Our ability to contemplate our situation and our own contemplation is taking place in interplay with others. To make room for the small things meaningful in life, the expression existential meaning is used. In this expression both the meaningless and the meaningful are included, since both are needed for our understanding of meaning. Without the Other and that which is different, the individual person’s formation of existential meaning becomes just more of the same, it becomes an enclosure in the present. The encounter with the Other makes room for that which is different to break through.</p><p>Objectivity is possible when it comes to existential meaning, if one views objectivity as a process between people. It is performed in conversation. Those who converse, refer to their bodily experiences of the Time that remains and help each other, using language as the tool, to formulate their experiences. They compare each others’ manifestations of existential meaning,</p><p>and with the help of language they go further in the formation of what is meaningless and meaningful. Their conversations imply a normative presupposition that they can justify the claims that they make. Because it is actually not possible to make intelligible existential meaning in words other than by doing it as a mix of descriptions of that which is manifesting itself and linguistic rewritings in the form of stories. This expression of objectivity has a normative aspect, namely in relation to the possibility that we can be wrong. Therefore, we need each other in the act of judging, and together we are guided by the fact that it later on can emerge things that show that our judgment has not been fully correct. </p>

In order to do so, the main theoretical support was provided by Corpus Linguistics, which is the area concerned with the collection and analysis of criteriously selected corpora, by means of computers. Although there are a number of studies based on the use of corpora in teaching, there is not any study concerned with describing what has been described in this one, mainly in respect of the use of the data gathered to the teaching of a foreign language. Therefore, this study aims at closing this gap in literature. Three questions were investigated in order to study the phraseology of the verbs try and like, in order to reach the objective of the study. The corpus used in the study was the BNC (British National Corpus), which is a corpus of native speakers of British English, of different linguistic varieties, that has more than 100 million words. The corpus analysis led us to the observation of differences between the usage suggested by the course book and the usage made by native speakers of English, which was the main aim of this study. The study presented may have contributed to the existing corpus-based research, especially in the area of Corpus Linguistics and the Teaching of English as Foreign Language, as it shows how the use of real data can be an important and essential tool to the teaching of English as a foreign language / O trabalho teve como objetivo principal investigar a fraseologia dos verbos try e like em inglês e confrontar as informações obtidas por meio da análise dos dados com a prescrição de uso sugerida pelo livro didático Inside Out- Upper- Intermediate, adotado pela escola em que trabalho. Para tanto, o trabalho utilizou o suporte teórico da Lingüística de Corpus, que é a área que se preocupa com a coleta e exploração de corpora eletrônicos, por meio de computadores, de maneira criteriosa. Apesar de haver muitos trabalhos baseados no uso de corpora para o ensino, não há qualquer pesquisa que busque descrever o que foi descrito neste trabalho, principalmente no tocante ao uso dos dados obtidos para o ensino de língua inglesa. Portanto, esta pesquisa procura preencher esta lacuna. Foram levantadas três perguntas de pesquisa relativas à fraseologia dos verbos try e like, a fim de alcançar o objetivo proposto. O Corpus empregado nesta pesquisa foi o BNC (British National Corpus), um corpus de falantes nativos de inglês britânico, com diversas variedades lingüísticas, que conta com mais de 100 milhões de palavras. A análise do corpus permitiu que fossem observadas diferenças entre o uso prescrito pelo livro didático e o uso feito por falantes nativos de língua inglesa, o que era o objetivo deste trabalho. A pesquisa pretende ter contribuído para a área de Lingüística de Corpus e Ensino ao demonstrar como a utilização de dados reais pode ser uma ferramenta importante e essencial no ensino de língua estrangeira

No. of bitstreams: 1 Paula Orchiucci Miura.pdf: 1310094 bytes, checksum: cc7fb098b82684cb54f582c02421a2c3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-04-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The violence inside family, theme of this work, doesn t refers only to excess of physical, sexual, verbal strength against others, but also to the absence of an investment on care, on preoccupation with others that needs emotional and physical care. The violence inside family affects, marks, causes failures on the process of personal maturation, according Winnicott (1962/1990a), it s not possible the health development of a child on environments that aren t sufficiently good . Winnicott doesn t uses the term violence inside family properly said, but substantiating this term in his theory violence inside family would be the absence of an environment sufficiently good , where this kind of environment has self established as a pattern on development process, precluding the healthy development of the members of this family. This research had as objectives: rescue and compare historical, legislative, populational, political, cultural and social aspects of the violence inside families on Brazil and Portugal; and comparatively investigate and analyze the intervention process adopted by services of Arujá/Brazil and Coimbra/Portugal on the treatment on the cases of people who have experienced situations of violence inside family and, concomitantly, analyze the psychic constitution of those people based on Winnicott s theory. This work was realized by means of participating observation on the following services: Receive Program and Childs and Teenagers Courtyard Center as well as the observation of articulation of those services with other services that composes the Arujá Protection Network. At Coimbra, the participation observation occurred at Inside Family Violence Service and on Childs and Teenagers Protection Committee, besides of the observation of the articulation of those with other services of Coimbra s Protection Network. Other strategy adopted for the realization of this research was the case studies. With this study it was possible to realize that was progress on investigations, on legislations and on social politics against inside family violence in Portugal and in Brazil, but also it was realized that the perpetuation of this kind of violence occurs considerately until nowadays. In relation to therapeutic action of Coimbra s and Arujá s Protection Network, it was realized that the effectiveness of the first Network, the responsibles for this was meeting themselves to discuss and talk the best action to each occurrence. Differently of the second, that has presented numerous failures of communication and articulation. By the other way, some specific services of Aruja s Protection Network Receive Program, Courtyard Center and Shelter were able to develop an intervention work, based on Winnicott s theory, that would be sufficiently good on the process of maintenance of being of child, teenagers and their families that have experienced situations of violence inside family. The Coimbra s Network Protection, on ambit of therapeutic intervention presented some failures on center itself mostly on the eradication of the inside of family violence, neglecting the patient by a few. It concludes that therapeutic actions of services should focus on the maturation of the being and not only on a symptom showed by him on a determinate moment of his life. Act on ethical manner and therapeutically is much more than eliminate momentarily the violence inside the family socially defined; providing sufficiently good conditions for the people who have their maturation process interrupted they could continue on being . Without this kind of intervention, the inside of family violence cycle would never halt / A violência intrafamiliar, tema desse trabalho, não se refere apenas ao excesso de força física, sexual, verbal contra o outro, mas também à ausência de um investimento no cuidado, na preocupação com o outro que necessita de acolhimento emocional e cuidados físicos. A violência intrafamiliar afeta, marca, provoca falhas no processo de amadurecimento pessoal, segundo Winnicott (1962/1990a), não é possível o desenvolvimento saudável de crianças em ambientes que não sejam suficientemente bons . Winnicott não utiliza o termo violência intrafamiliar propriamente dito, mas fundamentando este termo em sua teoria, violência intrafamiliar seria a ausência de um ambiente suficientemente bom , onde este tipo de ambiente se estabeleceu como um padrão no processo do desenvolvimento, impossibilitando o desenvolvimento saudável dos membros dessa família. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivos: resgatar e comparar aspectos histórico, legislativo, populacional, político, cultural e social da violência intrafamiliar no Brasil e em Portugal; e investigar e analisar comparativamente o processo de intervenção adotado pelos serviços de Arujá/Brasil e Coimbra/Portugal no atendimento dos casos de pessoas que vivenciaram situações de violência intrafamiliar e, concomitamente, analisar o processo de constituição psíquica dessas pessoas com base na teoria winnicottiana. Esse trabalho foi realizado por meio da observação participante nos seguintes serviços: Programa Acolher e Centro de Convivência da Criança e do Adolescente, bem como da observação da articulação desses serviços com outros serviços que compõem a Rede de Proteção de Arujá. Em Coimbra, a observação participante aconteceu no Serviço de Violência Intrafamiliar e na Comissão de Proteção de Crianças e Jovens, além de observar a articulação desses com outros serviços da Rede de Proteção de Coimbra. Outra estratégia adotada para a realização dessa pesquisa foi o estudo de casos. Com esse estudo pôde-se perceber que houve progressos nas investigações, nas legislações e nas políticas sociais contra a violência intrafamiliar tanto em Portugal quanto no Brasil, mas também se percebeu que a perpetuação deste tipo de violência se arrasta consideravelmente até hoje. Com relação à ação terapêutica das Redes de Proteção de Coimbra e de Arujá, pôde-se perceber a atuação eficaz da primeira Rede, os responsáveis por esta estavam sempre se reunindo para conversar e discutir a melhor ação para cada ocorrência. Diferentemente da segunda, que apresentou inúmeras falhas de comunicação e articulação. Por outro lado, alguns serviços específicos da Rede de Proteção de Arujá Programa Acolher, Centro de Convivência e Abrigo conseguiram desenvolver um trabalho de intervenção, baseada na teoria winnicottiana, que pudesse ser suficientemente bom no processo de continuidade-de-ser das crianças, adolescentes e suas famílias que experienciaram situação de violência intrafamiliar. Já a Rede de Proteção de Coimbra, no âmbito da intervenção terapêutica apresentou algumas falhas, ao centrar-se mais na eliminação da violência intrafamiliar, descurando-se um pouco do indivíduo. Conclui-se que a ação terapêutica dos serviços deve focar o processo de amadurecimento do indivíduo e não somente o sintoma apresentado por ele num determinado momento de sua vida. Atuar de maneira ética e terapêutica é muito mais do que eliminar momentaneamente a violência intrafamiliar definida sociologicamente; é proporcionar condições suficientemente boas para que as pessoas que tiveram seu processo de amadurecimento interrompido possam, então, continuar-a-ser. Sem esse tipo de intervenção o ciclo da violência intrafamiliar nunca cessará

中國大陸隨著經濟快速發展，石油能源需求成長迅速，導致石油進口依賴增加，石油需求量日益大於國內原油產量，對進口原油的依賴成為中國國家安全的潛在威脅。為鞏固石油安全，除需不斷向外擴張石油的來源管道外，更需儘速調整國內能源消費結構，提昇能源使用效率。本文以石油安全的政治經濟途徑來看中國對外石油政策，探討影響中國石油安全的因素。分析究竟是「由外而內」(outside-in)，還是「由內而外」(inside-out)層面的因素制約了中國對外石油政策的走向。本文認為，依賴國外石油供應本身並不會造成中國石油安全的威脅，主要的威脅來自於對日益增長的能源消費缺乏明顯改善能源效率的機制。長期而言，改善國內能源治理才是一種有效的而且是徹底改善中國能源安全處境的根本途徑。基於這種觀點，中國必須更廣泛的，儘可能的善加利用各種國際資源，來提升國內能源使用效率。從戰略層次來看，其他各國也會受益於中國的努力。 / Mainland China's rapid economic development has brought rapid growth in oil energy demand, that has outstripped domestic sources of supply, causing increased reliance on oil imports. China's reliance on oil imports to satisfy its oil requirements has become the potential threat to the national security. In order to secure its oil security, mainland China need to constantly expand external oil energy sources. Besides, there is even greater need to speedily adjust the domestic energy consumption structure and utilising energy efficiently within china. This paper focuses on the Chinese foreign oil policy based on the political-economic approaches to oil security. The research problem of this paper is : What's the real factor that "constraint" Chinese foreign oil policy, "outside-in" or "inside-out"? The conclusion of this paper is that dependence on foreign sources of oil supply is not in itself a threat to China's oil security; the key threat is ever-growing consumption without significant improvement in erergy efficiency. In the long term, improved domestic energy governance is one effective and indeed essential route for China to improve its overall energy situation. In this concection, China must work to make as extensive use of international resources as possible for the sake of promoting more efficient use of energy in the country. At a strategic level, the rest of the world stands to benefit from progress in Chinese efforts.
