Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo principal investigar a composição da figura da puella nas elegias de Propércio quanto a duas artes, a de Vênus e a de Minerva. Nesse contexto, a arte de Vênus corresponde à conduta do amante elegíaco; a arte de Minerva (a princípio a arte de fiar) corresponde à conduta feminina adequada do ponto de vista social. Assim, discutimos, no primeiro capítulo, como as duas deusas aparecem em Roma e discutimos os primeiros aspectos da relação estabelecida entre as duas na elegia de Propércio. No segundo capítulo, analisamos a deusa Vênus e seus domínios na poesia properciana, bem como a puella como a praticante das artes amorosas de Vênus, junto com o poeta, formando o par elegíaco. No terceiro capítulo, investigamos Minerva na obra de Propércio e mais especificamente a arte da tecelagem exercida pela puella, observando como tal arte participa da configuração da amante elegíaca. As investigações de que esta dissertação é fruto revelam que, de diferentes formas, as duas deusas convocam à elegia de Propércio aspectos sociais e poéticos que contribuem na composição da figura da puella. / This research aims to investigate the composition of the puella figure in the elegies of Propertius regarding two arts, Venus and Minervas. In this context, the art of Venus corresponds to the behaviour of the elegiac lover; the art of Minerva (firstly, the art of weaving) corresponds to the appropriate feminine way from a social point of view. Thus, we discussed in the first chapter how the two goddesses show up in Rome and discuss the first aspects of the relation established between the two in the elegy of Propertius. In the second chapter, we analyse the goddess Venus and her domains in Propertian poetry, as well as the puella as the practitioner of the love arts of Venus, along the poet, forming an elegiac pair. In the third chapter, we investigate Minerva in the elegies of Propertius and more specifically the art of the weaving exerted by the puella, observing how such art participates in the configuration of the elegiac lover. The investigations made in this dissertation reveal that, in different ways, the two goddesses summon to the Propertius elegies social and poetic aspects that contribute in the composition of the puella figure.

This study will compare two prominent goddesses from the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, Athena and Minerva. The purpose is to explore what differences and likenesses the two goddesses have with each other, to see if a major distinction can be made between the two using mythological descriptions. The reason for the study is to show to what extent the Roman goddess Minerva had her own mythological background, attributes and character as distinct from that of Athena.  In academia the difference between Athena’s and Minerva’s characteristics are vague and unclear. Minerva’s Roman mythological background is often hard to point out since the Romans borrowed several mythological views of the gods and goddesses from the Greek perspective of the gods. With this comparison one will be able to more clearly know how the Romans viewed Athena’s counterpart by comparing the main Greek and Roman mythical description of the two. The materials used to compare the two will comprise of the Iliad, and the Aeneid. The fact that the ancient religions of Greece and Rome were different concerning their gods' character and place in the mythology of each culture is at times overlooked, albeit recognized. At instances they are simply lumped together as one and the same even though major differences might exist between them and the way they were viewed in their respective cultures. This habit of treating the gods in the respective sphere of Greek and Roman as the same is problematic because it takes away our understanding of them as gods from different religious cultures. This is particularly the case in our unconscious mind when we study Greek and Roman religion. The goal of this study is to identify what differences can be found and thereby get a clearer understanding of the similarities or differences between Athena and Minerva.

A presente investigação pretende realizar uma análise interpretativa do discurso do Eco Macaense, periódico publicado em Macau em finais do Oitocentos (1893-1899). As notícias foram entendidas como "leituras de um processo dinâmico que interagem na e com a sociedade do seu tempo. A sua análise foi ancorada no discurso dos actores sociais, que tomam posição e elaboram representações dos outros. Esta dissertação privilegia o estudo das sociabilidades, das mentalidades e da cultura ocidental no Oriente; dos preconceitos que sustentavam as relações de dominação através do olhar particular do Eco Macaense. Esta análise foi precedida por uma caracterização político-administrativa e económica, ainda que sucinta, para uma melhor percepção do espaço e vivência macaense. Espaços de lazer e cultura, culto e religião, ensino e práticas pedagógicas, norma e marginalidades são temas explanados que (re)criaram o ambiente social e cultural de Macau. Espaço ilustrativo da capcidade demonstrada por dois povos que aceitaram e respeitaram as diferenças do Outro, de forma pacífica.

O estudo desenvolveu um desenho combinado de pesquisa que utilizou um paradigma interpretativo e qualitativo acoplado à pesquisa aplicada, visando intervir, educacionalmente, na instituição em foco. O modelo em questão está fundamentado em dados sobre bandas de música e sobre a forma de funcionamento da filarmônica pesquisada. A primeira parte trata dados históricos sobre bandas de música, educação em geral, musical e a distância e normas internas da Filarmônica Minerva. A segunda parte trata dos métodos, estrutura, instrumentos de coleta e registro da pesquisa, do modelo de gestão; criação e aplicação do Curso Batuta. A terceira traz os resultados da pesquisa, da avaliação do Curso Batuta, do modelo de gestão e do impacto do curso nos músicos, na filarmônica e na comunidade. A quarta parte conclui a pesquisa, sugerindo recomendações para a educação continuada dos músicos da Filarmônica Minerva. O apêndice inclui um kit do Curso Batuta. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam para uma inserção desta proposta na formação dos músicos. Todavia, deve-se observar as recomendações que visam a manutenção da identidade da banda, o fortalecimento da instituição, e a continuidade da pedagogia já utilizada na escola da filarmônica. Os resultados desta pesquisa apontam para uma possibilidade de mudança na formação dos músicos de bandas filarmônicas de cidades do interior. Entretanto, para que a mudança se realize de fato, será necessária a expansão da educação musical através da política de inclusão tecnológica nas filarmônicas. / Salvador

This master's thesis focuses on designing and implementing a framework that would offer basic program resources for application development on hardware platform FITkit Minerva. First part of this work focuses on designing a data channel between PC and the kit for which the USB interface was used. Next part focuses on implementing a channel between an ARM based microcontroller and FPGA Xilinx Spartan-6. That led to creating a special system inside FPGA that allows adding new HW components that communicate with the microcontroller, which can be used for implementing HW acceleration techniques. Another outcome of this work is a debugging interface that allows to program and debug FPGA using development environment Xilinx ISE without a need of the original Xilinx JTAG adapter. This was achieved by using the XVC protocol that allows to create a custom JTAG adapter that in this case was implemented in the software of the microcontroller.

Pesquisa do Estado de S?o Paulo - FAPESP / The present work aims to analyze Cachoeira Town?s Lyra Ceciliana and Minerva Cachoeirana Philharmonics, respectively founded in 1870 and 1878. Such a work shows a study concerning the above-mentioned Institutions covering the period from 1960 to 1980, in order to identify the Philharmonics members? profiles, their partners and leading groups; events in which both Institutions used to participate, the type of audience that accompanied them and the relationships between the Philharmonics and that time municipal government. The work also exhibits the tours of various locations accomplished by the above-mentioned Philharmonics, as well as the conflicts between them upon showing off in the garden bandstands concerts. We have chosen the time frame among the years 1960 to 1980, seeking to identify the cultural, social and technological transformations in Brazil and in Cachoeira Town during that period and the impacts the Military Dictatorship caused in Cachoeira?s Philharmonics. The issue that guided the research was based upon the following question: what survival strategy were developed by both Philharmonics to keep themselves alive and resistant to the pressures imposed by the diffusion of new technologies, new rhythms and sounds? In order to obtain answers to our questions we have used several sources, such as minutes of meetings, members? book, the institution regulations, articles, photographs, newspapers and interviews with both Philharmonics musicians. This research accomplishment is justified considering it provides a thorough analysis about the above-metioned Philharmonics, also due to what they have promoted and are currently developing social and educational work of great relevance to not only the town but also other locations? teenagers and young adults. / O presente trabalho teve como objeto de an?lise as filarm?nicas da cidade de Cachoeira a Lyra Ceciliana e a Minerva Cachoeirana, fundadas em 1870 e 1878 respectivamente. Realizamos um estudo acerca das institui??es no per?odo de 1960 a 1980, com o intuito de identificarmos os perfis dos integrantes das filarm?nicas, seus s?cios e grupos dirigentes; os eventos nos quais as institui??es participavam, o tipo de p?blico que as acompanhavam e as rela??es existentes entre as filarm?nicas e o Poder P?blico Municipal da ?poca. Mapeamos os passeios realizados para diversas localidades e os conflitos entre as filarm?nicas cachoeiranas nos coretos. Escolhemos o recorte temporal entre os anos de 1960 a 1980, buscando identificar as transforma??es culturais, sociais e tecnol?gicas ocorridas no Brasil e na cidade de Cachoeira nesse per?odo e quais foram os impactos causados pela ditadura militar nas filarm?nicas cachoeiranas. A problem?tica que norteou a pesquisa residiu na seguinte quest?o: quais as estrat?gias de sobreviv?ncia desenvolvidas pelas filarm?nicas para permanecerem vivas e resistentes diante das press?es impostas pela difus?o de novas tecnologias, novos ritmos e sonoridades? Para chegarmos ?s respostas dos nossos questionamentos utilizamos fontes como as atas das reuni?es, o livro dos s?cios, os estatutos, fotografias, jornais e entrevistas com integrantes das bandas. A realiza??o desta pesquisa se justifica na medida em que propicia uma an?lise minuciosa acerca das filarm?nicas, estas promoveram e atualmente desenvolvem um trabalho social e educacional de grande relev?ncia para os jovens da cidade e demais localidades.

It began in the second half of 1970, remaining until the early 1990s and it was intended to offer supplementary training for adults. The program, half an hour in length, was aired on a mandatory basis, from Monday to Friday on a national radio chain. The program was complemented by a magazine sent by the post office to the radiopostos - places where students, along with a monitor, had access to the radio receiver. The project was implemented by the Brazilian government during the military regime; however, during this research, a public collection of documents of Paraná State was discovered, which suggested a "Communist infiltration” in the radio program produced by MEC. Thus, the interest became to understand the Minerva Project, its origins, organization and forms of educational activities, seeking to capture the political-ideological struggle undertaken in that context. The primary sources used in the analysis (the State of Paraná's public collection documents) came from literature by Pinto (2013; 2014), Ferraretto (2010; 2014; 2016), Aggarwal (2007). In addition, an interview with one of the coordinators of the Project, Professor Marlene Blois (2015), contributed to the analysis. In conclusion, due to the censorship of the military regime in place at the time, and the content of the radio program being pre-recorded, there was no possibility of an ideological transmission. / O Projeto Minerva foi um programa de ensino a distância do Ministério da Educação que utilizou como ferramenta principal o rádio. Teve seu início no segundo semestre de 1970, o qual permaneceu até o começo dos anos 1990 e almejava oferecer formação supletiva para adultos, tendo duração de meia hora; era veiculado, em caráter obrigatório, de 2ª a 6ª feira, em cadeia nacional de rádio. Contava, ainda, com o apoio de fascículos enviados pelos Correios para os radiopostos – lugares onde os alunos, juntamente com um monitor, tinham acesso ao aparelho receptor. O Projeto foi implantado pelo governo brasileiro durante o Regime Militar, no entanto, nesta pesquisa, atenta-se para documentos do acervo público do Estado do Paraná, liberados em 2013, os quais direcionaram para uma possibilidade de “infiltração de comunistas no programa da rádio MEC, Projeto Minerva da Educação”. Assim, o interesse voltou-se para, primeiro, compreender o Projeto Minerva, sua origem, organização e forma de atuação educativa, buscando captar a luta política-ideológica empreendida naquele contexto. Para tal, a pesquisa bibliográfica utilizou-se de autores como Pinto (2013; 2014), Ferraretto (2010; 2014; 2016), Aggarwal (2007), além de entrevista com uma das coordenadoras do Projeto, a Professora Marlene Blois (2015), e análise de fontes primárias (documentos do acervo público do Estado do Paraná). Diante dessas considerações, concluiu-se que a própria censura do Regime e o fato de o conteúdo dos programas de rádio serem pré-gravados impossibilitaria qualquer possibilidade de transmissão de ideologia que fosse contrária ao estabelecido pelos militares. O encerramento do projeto coincidiu com o fim do Regime Militar

In order to do this, a bibliographic, documental research and interviews were done. A report about Brazilian and world radio broadcasting was done and, also, of Distance Education, highlighting the characters of priest Roberto Landell de Moura and Edgard Roquette Pinto. The study showed the importance of the Minerva Project, which was a supplementary course of Elementary and High School, by radio in the beginning of 1970 and showed its main characteristics and the Mathematics discipline which was a part of it. The questions that originated the research were: What is the importance of the historical recovery of a pioneer project by radio (Minerva Project) of national dimension? What are the limits and problems faced in the Mathematics course in the Minerva Project? In the analysis of the data group it was possible to rescue the experience of an educational radio in the Mathematics discipline and it was verified that its great challenge was to transpose a Mathematics class to the radio language; the editor had difficulties to create a script that the newscaster could understand and the complexity of this to give the intonation, in order for the text to be understood by the students / O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a história do Projeto Minerva, resgatando a disciplina matemática. Para isto, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e entrevistas. Foi feito um relato a respeito da radiodifusão brasileira e mundial e, também, da Educação a Distância, destacando as figuras do padre Roberto Landell de Moura e Edgard Roquette Pinto. O estudo mostrou a importância do Projeto Minerva, que foi um Curso Supletivo de 1º e 2º graus, via rádio no início de 1970 e retratou suas principais características e a disciplina matemática que dele fazia parte. As questões que orientaram a pesquisa foram: Qual a importância da recuperação histórica de um projeto pioneiro via rádio (Projeto Minerva) de dimensão nacional? Quais os limites e problemas encontrados no curso de matemática no Projeto Minerva? Com a análise do conjunto de dados, foi possível resgatar a experiência de uma rádio educativa na disciplina de matemática e verificar que seu grande desafio foi transpor uma aula de matemática para a linguagem radiofônica; o redator com dificuldade para fazer um roteiro que o locutor pudesse entender e a complexidade deste para dar a entonação, a fim de que o texto pudesse ser entendido pelos alunos

Henry Peacham fait publier, en 1612, un ouvrage qu’il a longuement retravaillé à partir de manuscrits qui en constituent la matrice. Ainsi, Minerva Britanna voit le jour alors même que l’Angleterre pleure la mort du jeune Henri, prince héritier de la couronne et destinataire du recueil d’emblèmes d’Henry Peacham. Cette thèse propose une étude de l’art emblématique de ce polygraphe anglais peu connu et peu acclamé par la critique. Elle prend appui sur l’examen minutieux de son recueil, Minerva Britanna et s’attache à démontrer la qualité graphique des pictura emblématiques ainsi que la polyvalence des thèmes abordés par l’emblémiste.Un premier temps aborde la question de l’art emblématique d’Henry Peacham sous un angle biographique et bibliographique. Cette partie initiale nous donne l’occasion de découvrir la genèse de l’ouvrage ainsi que sa composition avant de nous pencher sur le développement du genre emblématique en Angleterre. L’étude vise plus précisément à démontrer que l’ouvrage de Peacham prend des accents militants et que l’auteur se veut le porte-parole des artistes anglais dont le statut demeure très instable.La deuxième partie se penche sur la question générique. On remarque que Minerva Britanna tient à la fois du conduct book anglais mais également du genre des specula principum en passant par celui du memento mori. Cela nous permet de mettre en évidence la polyvalence de ce recueil d’emblèmes mais également l’éclectisme du style peachamien. Ce deuxième temps est, en outre, l’occasion de faire le point sur les sources de l’auteur et sur la manière dont il clame son désir d’originalité tout en revendicant ses diverses sources d’inspiration.Enfin, une troisième partie vise à démontrer Minerva Britanna constitue une analyse des premières années du règne jacobéen. Il est ainsi question de politique intérieure puisque le recueil évoque tour à tour la philosophie du règne, la notion d’absolutisme monarchique, mais aussi les difficultés d’ordre religieux auxquelles doit faire face le roi. La politique extérieure du royaume est scrutée de près. Minerva Britanna témoigne en effet de l’épineux projet d’Union entre l’Angleterre et l’Écosse, ce qui nous amène également à nous pencher sur la question de l’identité nationale ainsi que sur l’ouverture au monde du royaume d’Angleterre. / Henry Peacham had a masterpiece published in 1612: Minerva Britanna. This collection of emblems represents the outcome of years of work on several manuscripts which he revised and which make up the main sources of the book. Minerva Britanna was published at the time when England was mourning for Prince Henry, deceased heir to the throne and addressee of Peacham’s book of emblems. This thesis aims at putting forward the worth of the emblematic art of this polygraph English artist who is not very famous and not often praised by critics. This analysis is based on a detailed study of Minerva Britanna and its purpose is to demonstrate the graphic quality of the emblematic picture as well as the variety of the themes treated by the emblemist.First, I shall deal with Henry Peacham’s emblematic art from a biographical and bibliographical angle. This will also enable the reader to discover the book’s genesis as well as its composition before analyzing the development of the emblematic genre in England. I will show that Peacham’s book takes on militant overtones and that the artist wants to present himself as the spokesman of English artists whose status was greatly unstable.Then, I will turn to the notion of genre. I will show to what extent Minerva Britanna can be seen as typical of the English “conduct book”, but also as representative of the specula principum and memento mori genres. This will clearly put forward the variety of this emblem book but also the eclecticism of Peacham’s style. I shall deal with the importance of the author’s source material in order to prove that Peacham skilfully handles both his thirst for originality and his desire to honour those who inspired his work.Finally, a third and last part will show that Minerva Britanna is also a historical analysis of the first years of James as King of England. I shall deal with domestic politics so as to examine the philosophy of James’s rule and the notion of monarchic absolutism but also the religious difficulties that the King had to face. James I’s foreign policy will also be under study. I shall demonstrate that Minerva Britanna is a testimony of the burning issue that was the Union scheme between England and Scotland. This will lead me to consider the question of national identity as well as England’s position concerning the New World.
