São três âmbitos que constituem a questão da felicidade nesta filosofia: afetivo, cognitivo e ético. Assim, é na vivência dos afetos e no conhecimento deles que o conatus de cada modo finito será capaz de afirmar-se como autônomo e potência plena de autoperseveração na existência. O percurso que conduz à conquista da felicidade envolve necessariamente a experiência da alegria, visto que a alegria favorece nossa potência pois é aumento de perfeição para a ação e o pensamento. O homem que regozija de alegria é forte e ativo, compreende a si próprio e aos seus afetos, assim como compreende os demais modos de maneira adequada; é sábio e sua atenção e cuidado são dirigidos à vida e tudo o que possa contribuir com a sua expansão. Filosofia da ação, a felicidade é, portanto, a atividade vital de fruição desta alegria concomitante ao conhecimento intuitivo de terceiro gênero, ou seja, o sentimento de eternidade e união com Deus. Palavras-chave: afetos, alegria, conatus, conhecimento, Deus, felicidade. / Abstract: The question of happiness is essential in the immanent philosophy of Spinoza. Happiness is therein presented as a kind of joy resulting from an eternal, stable joy with God, who is the cause of everything. There are three areas, which build the basis of this thought about the question of happiness: affective, cognitive and ethical. So, in the experience of the affects and with the understanding of such, the conatus of every single, finite mode will be able to affirm his autonomy as well as to assert himself as full potentiality of self-persistence. The way leading to conquest of happiness requires in any case the experience of joy, since it promotes our own potentiality by being the enhancement of the perfection of acting and thinking. The man exulting from joy is strong and active, he understands himself and his affects, as well as in an appropriate way he understands the further modes. He is wise and carefully pays attention to life and everything else that may contribute to the enhancement of life potentiality. As a result and practice of a philosophy of acting happiness namely is the essential action of this joy, which presents itself on occasion of the intuitive knowledge of the third kind, which means, with the feeling of eternity and unification with God. Key words: affects, joy, conatus, knowledge, God, happiness

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / Harrisville is a small and attractive mill town in the highlands of southwestern New Hampshire, a town with a history quite different from those of its rural neighbors. Although its original settlement antedated the Revolution, Harrisville emerged as an entity only in the nineteenth century. It was incorporated in 1870, when it was carved out of the towns of Dublin and Nelson. Its numerous ponds and fast-flowing Goose Brook were vital elements in its growth. At the end of the eighteenth century, two small shops were built which carded wool and fulled woolen cloth with machines driven by water-power. As was typical in the development of the American woolen manufacture, these small enterprises led to the building of a complete woolen mill in 1823. Its owner was Bethuel Harris, whose father had come to Nelson after the Revolution. When Bethuel built his mill and moved his large family into a new home close by, the village began to grow in earnest. [TRUNCATED]

O licopeno, além de ser um eficiente antioxidante natural, é um corante que vem merecendo destaque. O tomate foi usado como fonte de licopeno, pois ele está presente em quantidades consideráveis, e representa 80-90% do total de carotenóides. A extração de licopeno foi investigada usando dois produtos de tomate (polpa de tomate e o tomate parcialmente desidratado) e seis solventes: acetona, hexano, etanol, acetona-hexano (7:3), hexano:etanol (1:1), acetona-hexano (1:1). As amostras foram trituradas com os solventes, utilizando-se 4 partes de cada solvente para uma parte de amostra. As misturas foram deixadas em maceração por 24 horas na ausência da luz e a temperatura ambiente (22 ± 2o C). Após maceração, os extratos foram filtrados à vácuo e os resíduos reextraídos com a mesma relação amostra -solvente em mais duas etapas, com quatro repetições. O filtrado, de cada extração, foi separado por decantação e lavado com água destilada por quatro vezes. Em seguida, os extratos foram concentrados sobre pressão reduzida à 30-35o C e recuperados com 10 mL de álcool etílico e 10 mL de hexano, para posterior leitura no comprimento de onda 1 % de máxima absorção a 472 nm. O licopeno foi quantificado utilizando E 1cm = 3450. A acetona foi o melhor solvente, porém, a capacidade extratora foi diferente para cada produto sendo a extração de licopeno melhor para a polpa de tomate. O etanol demonstrou menor poder extrator para ambos os produtos. Uma mistura de licopeno e óleo mineral foi preparada para estudar a foto e termossensibilidade do corante. Determinações espectrofotométricas e colorimétricas foram realizadas durante o período de estocagem. O efeito da luz foi o fator mais destrutivo do que a maior temperatura testada (80°C), sobretudo, pela descoloração brusca em algumas amostras, após 30 dias de estocagem. O pigmento foi pouco afetado quando armazenados no escuro, após 1488h, e em 40°C, após 2520 h. Obteve-se correlações significativas nas reduções dos valores lidos em absorbância com os valores colorimétricos “a + ”, “b + ” e “H”. Estas coordenadas foram as que melhor explicaram as variações ocorridas com o pigmento. / The search of natural pigments for food application and the challenge of its industrial production has motivated researchers to investigate their stability under the influence of light, temperature, pH and oxygen. Lycopene, besides being an efficient natural antioxidant is a promising colorant. Tomato has been used as a source of lycopene because it is present in considerable quantities and represents 80 – 90% of total carotenoids. The lycopene extraction has been investigated using two tomato products (tomato pulp and partially dried tomato) and six solvents: acetone, hexane, ethanol, acetone-hexane (7:3), hexane-ethanol (1:1), acetone-hexane (1:1). The samples were grinded with solvent, using four parts of each solvent to one part of sample. The mixtures were left in maceration for 24 hours, without light and at room temperature (22±2°C). After maceration the extracts were filtered in vacuum and the residues were re -extracted with the same relation between samples and solvents in two more stages, with four repetitions. The resulted filtered of each extraction was separated by decantation and washed four times with distillated water. Furthermore, the extracts were concentrated under reduced pressure at 30-35°C, and recovered with 10mL of ethylic alcohol and 10mL of hexane. The maximum absorption was determined at 472 nm. The lycopene were quantified 1 % using E 1cm = 3450. Acetone was the best solvent, but the efficiency of extraction was different for each product and lycopene extraction was better for tomato pulp. Ethanol exhibited the lesser extracting power for both products. A mixture of lycopene and mineral oil was prepared to study the photo and thermal- sensibility of the colorants. Spectrophotometrical and colorimetrical determinations were done during the storage period. The effect of light was more destructive than the highest temperature tested (80°C), as was observed by the decolorization of some samples after 30 days of storage. Lycopene was little affected when storaged in the dark after 1488 h, and at 40°C after 2520h. The loss of pigments observed by the reduction of absorbance values showed significant correlations with colorimetrical values “a + ”, “b + ” and “H”. These coordinates were the better explanation for the variation occurred with the pigment. / Dissertação importada do Alexandria

This study is an attempt to trace a particular theme of analysis throughout John Stuart Mill's economic theory and to discover what light such a procedure sheds on our knowledge of Mill's work and on our understanding of his historical role. The main concern of the study is with Mill's system of analysis as such, and not, except incidentally, with the history of the ideas which found expression in his work. After a preliminary examination of Mill's position in the evolution of economic theory, a first step is taken towards establishing what were the properties and assumptions of the model of the economic system adopted by Mill in his major work in the field, the Principles of Political Economy (1848). The assumptions necessary for a consistent model are outlined and the argument then proceeds with a detailed discussion of Mill's four fundamental propositions on capital. These theorems are taken to be the principal foundation on which the remainder of Mill's analysis of production, distribution and capital accumulation is based. An attempt is made to show that these theorems are to be considered as an interdependent group which have relevance only for the system in which they stand.

A questão que surge a partir desse percurso é relacionada à inclusão de um sentimento nessa concepção moral que se pretende independente da sensibilidade, não-patológica, e do estatuto que ele passa a ter. Realizamos então uma exposição acerca do modo como este sentimento específico, o respeito, é trabalhado por Kant em obras de sua filosofia prática, e como alguns comentadores compreendem seu papel. Finalmente, colocamos nosso posicionamento acerca dessa discussão, compreendendo o respeito como, primeiramente, não possuindo o papel de validar a moralidade, mas apenas o de motivo moral enquanto efeito necessário da lei na sensibilidade de seres finitamente racionais, como o homem. / Abstract: We started our work by investigating what we understand as the crucial aspect of Kant's conception of morality, that is, the unconditional character of the moral principle, which requires the possibility of transcendental freedom, at least from a practical point of view. We discussed, first, the way Kant deals with this point in different texts, and grounds, or at least expects to ground, this possibility. The question of how a feeling finds a place in a moral theory that defines itself by the exclusion of every element of sensibility imposed itself, and, to examine it, we presented the way Kant and some interpreters understand the matter. Finally, we stated our interpretation of the role of this feeling, as a necessary effect of the moral law in our sensibility.
