Investigating openwork block accumulation has the potential to further our understanding of rock weathering, the control of geological structure on landforms, the production of substrates for biological colonisation and the impacts of climate change on landform development and dynamics. Various models for the development of these landforms have been proposed. This includes in situ weathering, frost heave and wedging. Furthermore, it has been suggested that cold-based ice has the potential to preserve these features rather than to obliterate them. Blocky deposits are also frequently used as proxy evidence for interpreting palaeoclimates. The morphology and processes acting on a blockfield located on the Northern Buttress of the Vesleskarvet Nunataks, Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica (2°W, 71°S) were investigated and characterised. Given block dimensions and orientations that closely resembled the parent material and only small differences in aspect related characteristics observed, the blockfield was found to be autochthonous with in situ block production and of a young (Holocene) age. Small differences in rock hardness measurements suggest some form of aspect control on rock weathering. South-facing sides of clasts were found to be the least weathered. In comparison, consistently low rock hardness rebound values for the north-facing aspects suggest that these are the most weathered sides. Additional indicators of weathering, such as flaking and pitting, support analyses conducted for rock hardness rebound values. Solar radiation received, slope gradients and snow cover were found to influence weathering of clasts across the study site. Furthermore, ambient temperatures and wind speed significantly influenced near-surface ground temperatures dynamics. However, the lack of a matrix and paucity of fine material in textural analyses suggest a limited weathering environment. It is suggested that the retreat of the Antarctic ice sheet during the last LGM led to unloading of the surface, causing dilatation and subsequent fracturing of the bedrock along pre-existing joints, leading to in situ clast supply. Subsequent weathering and erosion along other points or lines of weakness then yielded fines and slight edge rounding of clasts.

Feedbacks between abiotic variables and community structure in Antarctica are poorly understood. Research is, therefore, required to elucidate the patterns of biodiversity that exist and the factors that influence them, particularly under changing climates. Landscape processes affect environmental heterogeneity, which in turn affect patterns of biodiversity. Two inland Antarctic nunataks, Robertskollen and the Northern Buttress of Vesleskarvet, were selected for investigation to determine the potential impact of selected environmental factors on lichen distribution and abundance, at the intra- and inter-nunatak scales. Lichens were found to prefer rock faces with dips between 1° and 45°, and northern/southern aspects. Lichen colonisation was mostly in microtopographical features that result from rock weathering. The distribution of lichens was found to be regular at the intra- and inter-nunatak scale, whereas lichen abundance was found to be mostly influenced by temperature. On the Northern Buttress, rock hardness displays a similar pattern to lichen abundance, both of which are suggested to be a function of exposure time, which is dependent on deglaciation. The two nunataks serve as excellent laboratories that can potentially be used as proxies for investigating the possible impacts of climate change

Para tanto, abordamos algumas obras que acompanham a trajetória desta autora que privilegia a escuta do sujeito e de sua palavra, propondo questões que indicam uma direção ética no atendimento clínico com crianças. Optamos, metodologicamente, por seguir uma estrutura de capítulos desenvolvidos a partir de rupturas que encontramos presentes na obra de Maud Mannoni e que funcionaram como chave de leitura para apreendermos suas contribuições. Conformaram-se, assim, diante da leitura de seus trabalhos, três eixos temáticos que se configuram importantes para se pensar o lugar do analista na clínica com crianças, quais sejam: as críticas empreendidas por esta psicanalista às demandas pedagogizantes da prática analítica com crianças, as polêmicas nas quais se inseriu em relação às instituições psiquiátricas em seu caráter de isolamento diante da loucura e, por fim, os questionamentos às concepções de formação do analista de sua época, face ao formalismo burocrático, as distorções teóricas e os excessos de teorização. Encontramos no conjunto da obra de Maud Mannoni uma compreensão que eleva a experiência clínica e a escuta do sujeito à condição primordial necessária à prática do psicanalista e, assim, ao trabalho clínico com crianças. / Cette recherche cherche, à travers des contributions de La psychanalyste Maud Mannoni, réfléchir à place de l’analyste dans la clinique avec les enfants. Pour ça, nous avons abordé quelques oeuvres qui accompagnent la trajectoire de cet auteur qui privilégient l’écoute du sujet et de sa parole, en proposant des questions qui indiquent une direction éthique dans l’accueil clinique des enfants. Nous avons choisi comme méthode suivre une structure de chapitres développés à travers des ruptures qui trouvons chez Maud Mannoni et qui ont fonctionné comme clé de lecture pour saisir ses contributions. Conformément à lecture de ses traveaux, donc, on a trouvé trois essieux thèmathiques qui sont importants pour penser le place de l’analyste dans la clinique des enfants. Ils sont: les critiques entrepris par cette psychanalyste às demandes pédagogiques de la pratique analythique des enfants; des polemiques dans lesquelles elle s’a insere à rapport des institutions psychiatriques dans son carctère de l’isolement face à folie et, finalement, des questions sur les conceptions de la formation de l’analyste de son époque face au formalisme bureaucratique, des déformations et des excés théoriques. On a trouvé dans l’emsamble chez Maud Mannoni une compréhension qui éleve l’experiénce clinique et l’écoute du sujet au état principal nécessaire pour la pratique de le psychanalyste et, ainsi, au travail clinique avec des enfants.

<p>The object of the essay was to investigate the argumentation in the bill, the comments from unions and the authorities, among others and the motions concerning the bill. To analysis this argumentation I have been using feminist theory, specifically Carole Lee Bacchis ”What’s the problem”-aproach. I also used Maud Eduards and Diane Sainsbury to complete my theory. They describe men as the norm of the society and women as deviant. The questions I have been investigating in the texts are</p><p>- What’s the problem?</p><p>- Who or what caused the problem?</p><p>- Who or what is responsible for the problem?</p><p>- Who has the responsibility to change the problem?</p><p>- What problem is not mentioned?</p><p>- Are men mentioned as a gender and a group?</p><p>- Are women mentioned as a gender and a group?</p><p>- How are men and women described?</p><p>The investigation found that the problems that was presented in the theory was very mush present in the text that I investigated. Women are seen as passive and as willingness victims of their employers. Men on the other hand are active and are mentioned as the opposite of these women. The results however varied depending on which text was studied, but the main picture remained the same.</p>

The primary objective of this M.A. Thesis is to provide an in-depth comparison of Heidi and Anne of Green Gables by: (1) revealing through a literary and social analysis, the more somber aspects of these novels. (2) examining the multi-dimensionality of the characters found therein and (3) investigating the possible reasons for the mythical and legendary proportions of these tales. In doing so, I hope to clarify the misconception that these novels, as children's books, are based solely on idealistic and light-hearted themes. Further, I would like to answer, in part, why these two orphan tales have remained so universally popular for so long, whereas other similar books have not. But most of all, I hope to prove that children's literature has significant literary merit, worthy of academic interest and investigation.

Syftet med studien var att finna lösningar i en begränsad repertoar för oboe, genom att belysa musik komponerad för violin av den ouppmärksammade kvinnliga tonsättaren Marion Bauer. Syftet var i förlängningen att inspirera andra musiker att utföra liknande studier. Detta genomfördes metodiskt genom konstnärliga val baserade på musikanalys och transkription till oboe av Bauers verk Up the Ocklawaha, Op. 6 som komponerades för den kvinnliga violinisten Maud Powell. Vidare egna inspelningar, musikhistoriska studier och intag av andra verk, såsom Clara Schumann-Wiecks tre romanser för violin och piano, Op. 22. I transkriptionen identifierades utmaningar i form av dubbelgrepp och flageoletter för violin. Studiens resultat påvisar lösningar genom konstnärliga val som prioriteringar av bärande meloditoner och oktaveringar. Resultatet indikerar att transkriptionen var fullt genomförbar genom noga övervägda konstnärliga val trots tekniska utmaningar. Studiens övergripande resultat belyser vikten av att framhäva kvinnliga kompositörer som annars i tillräcklig grad inte uppmärksammas.
