Previous issue date: 2007-05-23 / Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo / The objective of this research was to understand how Osvaldo Sangiorgi made an appropriation of the Morris Kline´s book named O Fracasso da Matemática Moderna , after 15 years of Modern Mathematics Movement MMM in Brazil and to identify the arguments in which he was based on forward the declared failure to continue divulgating the Modern Mathematics up to the 1980s. To reach this, we studied several thesis and dissertations about MMM and analysed some document´s from Osvaldo Sangiorgi´s Personal Archive APOS. These informations was complemented by documents from Acervo Histórico do Instituto Brasileiro de Edições Pedagógicas IBEP and a recorded interview done with Sangiorgi in 1988. The theorical methodologies considerations whe sustained by the following authors: Chartier (1991) who supported us on the appropriation concept comprehension; Prochasson (1998), Gomes (1998) and Alves (2003) that assisted us with the treatment with the APOS; Geertz (1989) who supported us on culture concept; Certeau (1982) who taugh us the historian work, Chevel (1990) and Julia (2001) which we discussed the concept of pertaining to school culture and the purposes of education, and Nóvoa (1992) that helped us with the teacher´s history of life. We evidenced that the impact of the book written by Morris Kline, sure made possible some openings for discution on possible corretions for the problems detected in the education of the Modern Mathematics in Brazil. Osvaldo Sangiorgi detached some positive points emerged with the Movement, between them: the mobilization of uncountable teachers in TV and in-classe courses, promoted by Grupo de Estudos do Ensino da Matemática GEEM and the student´s motivation showed on the participation in the Olimpíadas de Matemática. Considering these factors, among others, kept on spreending the Modern Mathematics until the 1980s, inserting, in this context, the application of this mathematics notions into the computer science / A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender como Osvaldo Sangiorgi apropriou-se do livro O Fracasso da Matemática Moderna , de Morris Kline, após 15 anos do Movimento da Matemática Moderna - MMM no Brasil e identificar os argumentos nos quais se baseou para diante do declarado fracasso continuar a divulgar a Matemática Moderna até a década de 80. Para tanto realizamos um estudo das teses e dissertações sobre o MMM e analisamos documentos do Arquivo Pessoal Osvaldo Sangiorgi APOS. Complementaram essas informações, documentos do Acervo Histórico do Instituto Brasileiro de Edições Pedagógicas IBEP e a gravação de uma entrevista com Osvaldo Sangiorgi realizada em 1988. As considerações teóricometodológicas foram apoiadas nos autores: Chartier (1991) que nos amparou na compreensão do conceito de apropriação; Prochasson (1998), Gomes (1998) e Alves (2003) que nos auxiliaram no tratamento com o APOS; Geertz (1989) nos amparou com o conceito de cultura; Certeau (1982) nos ensinou o trabalho do historiador; Chervel (1990) e Julia (2001) com os quais discutimos a concepção de cultura escolar e as finalidades do ensino; e Nóvoa (1992) que nos auxiliou na discussão da história da vida dos professores. Constatamos que o impacto do livro de Morris Kline, possibilitou sim uma abertura de discussões sobre possíveis correções para os problemas detectados no ensino da Matemática Moderna no Brasil. Osvaldo Sangiorgi destacou alguns pontos positivos surgidos com o Movimento, entre eles: a mobilização de inúmeros docentes nos cursos presenciais e pela TV, promovidos pelo Grupo de Estudos do Ensino da Matemática GEEM, e a motivação dos estudantes apreciada nas participações das Olimpíadas de Matemática. Por esses fatores, entre outros, continuou a divulgar a Matemática Moderna até a década de 80, inserindo, nesse contexto, uma aplicação dessa voltada a noções de informática

Both temple and tomb: difference, desire and death in the sculptures of the Royal museum of central AfricaMorris, Wendy Ann 30 November 2003 (has links)
Both Temple and Tomb is a dissertation in two parts. The first part is an examination and analysis of a collection of 'colonial' sculptures on permanent display in the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Tervuren Belgium. The second part is a reflection on the author's own paintings, drawings and film and an examination of the critical potential of these images in challenging the colonial narratives of the RMCA.
Part I presents two arguments. The first is that European aesthetic codes have been used to legitimize the conquest of the Congo and to award sanction to a voyeuristic gaze. The second is that the organization of the sculptures of Africans (and European females) into carefully managed spaces and relationships results in the creation of erotically-charged formations that are intended to afford pleasure to male European spectators.
Part II examines the strategies used in Re-Turning the Shadows to disrupt (neo)colonial patterns of viewing that have become ritual and 'naturalized'. Against RMCA narratives that pay homage to the objectivity of science and research, the paintings and film present images that explore multiple subjectivities, mythologizing impulses, and metaphoric allusions. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / M.A. (Visual Arts)

The employment of historically-informed performance practices in present-day tuba performances of two Italian baroque violoncello transcriptions.Coker, Bradley Gene 05 1900 (has links)
As several Italian baroque violoncello transcriptions have entered the standard performance repertory for both high school and collegiate tubists, and as numerous texts, articles, and baroque performance instruction courses have illuminated a new realm of performance possibilities, no published document has provided specific, thorough, and sample approaches to performance on the tuba of a given piece (or pieces) through a detailed application of materials found in any singular source or combination of sources. Many of the existing articles and texts that approach the subject focus largely on ornamentation, while limiting the discussion and application of the following topics: tempo, spirit, affect, notation, rhythm, dynamics, and articulation. This document examines such topics and provides detailed explanations and suggestions of historically-informed characteristics applicable to two movements each from the R. Winston Morris transcription of Antonio Vivaldi's Sonata No. 3 in A Minor and the Donald C. Little/Richard B. Nelson transcription of Benedetto Marcello's Sonata No. V in C Major.

Poruchy paměti a kognitivní koordinace u potkaních modelů neuropsychiatrických onemocnění / Memory and cognitive coordination impairment in rat models of neuropsychiatric diseasesVojtěchová, Iveta January 2021 (has links)
The memory and spatial navigation are extremely important brain functions for humans, but they are often the question of life and death for animals. In humans, memory can be disrupted by various neuropsychiatric disorders. The patients suffering from Alzheimer's dementia (AD) have impaired working and long-term memory, spatial navigation, higher cognitive functions and social memory. The deficit of cognitive coordination (the skill to recognize the relevancy of incoming information) and disorientation belong to the symptomatology of schizophrenia. Intelectual disability appears in some patients with autism spectrum disorder. Unfortunately, it is not possible to cure these disorders efficiently because the etiology is not known in the majority of patients. The causes leading to development of these disorders could be revealed using animal models. This thesis contributes to the characterization of the cognitive skills disruptions - as well as other behavioral alterations - in selected rat models of AD (transgenic McGill rat, non-transgenic Samaritan rat) and schizophrenia (lipopolysaccharide model of early postnatal, or prenatal, bacterial infection). The thesis also discusses the validity and limitations of these models. Our results showed a severe deficit of spatial navigation, learning and...

Effects of coadministration of D-Napvsipq [NAP] and D-Sallrsipa [SAL] on spatial learning after developmental alcohol exposureWagner, Jennifer Lynne January 2013 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Despite warnings about the dangers of drinking during pregnancy, little progress has been made in reducing alcohol drinking among women of childbearing age. Even after the recognition of pregnancy, 15% of women continue to drink, 3% of which admit to binge drinking. Because we cannot stop women from drinking during pregnancy, and many children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are adopted, there is a significant need to develop postnatal interventions that can improve the long-term outcome of children adversely affected by prenatal alcohol exposure. This thesis aims to evaluate one promising new treatment in the rehabilitation or rescue of specific learning deficits long after the damage has occurred.
The treatment evaluated herein (40µg D-NAP + 40µg D-SAL) has long been used in the prevention of the detrimental effects of long-term and binge-like alcohol exposures in rodent models of fetal alcohol syndrome and FASD. Until recently this peptide treatment had only been shown to be effective in preventing some of the consequences of alcohol exposure when administered concurrently with the prenatal alcohol exposure. A recent report by Incerti and colleagues (2010c), however, reported that these peptides could completely reverse a profound spatial learning deficit induced by one episode of a heavy binge-like alcohol exposure (5.9g.kg in a single intraperitoneal injection) on gestational day 8 (G8) in C57BL/6 mice. In that report, the peptide treatment was administered starting in late adolescence, beginning three days prior to and throughout water maze training, and the profound deficits in their alcohol-placebo group were completely eliminated in the alcohol-peptide group. There are currently no FDA-approved treatments for FASD. An effective treatment for the cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions suffered by the 1% of people born today could potentially improve the lives of millions of children and adults.
The first aim of this thesis was to determine whether the peptide treatment could reverse the significant spatial learning deficits we have demonstrated in adult C57BL/6 mice given high-dose binge-like alcohol exposure (2.5 g/kg in each of two intraperitoneal injections separated by two hours) on postnatal day (P)7. When administered three days prior to and throughout water maze testing (P67-76), the peptide treatment had no effect on spatial learning.
The second aim sought to determine whether the same peptide treatment could reverse water maze spatial learning deficits in G8 binge-like exposure models, as reported by Incerti et al. (2010c). For this analysis, the first study used a different binge-like alcohol exposure model that is more commonly used than that employed by the Incerti et al. (2010c) study, namely administration of 2.8g/kg in each of two intraperitoneal injections separated by four hours (Sulik et al., 1981). This model has been shown to produce high peak blood alcohol concentrations and neuroanatomical aberrations in the hippocampal formation and septal regions (Parnell et al., 2009), which have been implicated in learning and memory. Surprisingly, this G8 binge-like alcohol exposure failed to produce a spatial learning deficit, undermining the usefulness of this model in evaluating the peptide effects. In direct contrast to the outcomes of Incerti et al. (2010c), the G8 Webster alcohol exposure was also unable to produce any deficits in acquisition of spatial learning in the Morris water maze.
Surprisingly, neither of the heavy binge-like alcohol exposures on G8 were able to produce spatial learning deficits in the Morris water maze. The binge-like alcohol exposure on P7 did yield the expected spatial learning deficit, but the peptide treatment was unsuccessful in recovering water maze learning. These findings fail to support oral administration of 40µg D-NAP and 40 µg D-SAL as a potential therapy for postnatal alcohol-induced spatial learning deficits in adult mice.

“The Nonmusical Message Will Endure With It:” The Changing Reputation and Legacy of John Powell (1882-1963)Adam, Karen 24 April 2012 (has links)
This thesis explores the changing reputation and legacy of John Powell (1882-1963). Powell was a Virginian-born pianist, composer, and ardent Anglo-Saxon supremacist who created musical propaganda to support racial purity and to define the United States as an exclusively Anglo-Saxon nation. Although he once enjoyed international fame, he has largely disappeared from the public consciousness today. In contrast, the legacies of many of Powell’s musical contemporaries, such as Charles Ives and George Gershwin, have remained vigorous. By examining the ways in which the public has perceived and portrayed Powell both during and after his lifetime, this thesis links Powell’s obscurity to a deliberate, public rejection of his Anglo-Saxon supremacist definition of the United States.

Modelling, simulation and control of the filtration process in a submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor treating urban wastewaterRobles Martínez, Ángel 28 November 2013 (has links)
El reactor anaerobio de membranas sumergidas (SAnMBR) está considerado como tecnología
candidata para mejorar la sostenibilidad en el sector de la depuración de aguas residuales,
ampliando la aplicabilidad de la biotecnología anaerobia al tratamiento de aguas residuales de
baja carga (v.g. agua residual urbana) o a condiciones medioambientales extremas (v.g. bajas
temperaturas de operación). Esta tecnología alternativa de tratamiento de aguas residuales es
más sostenible que las tecnologías aerobias actuales ya que el agua residual se transforma en
una fuente renovable de energía y nutrientes, proporcionando además un recurso de agua
reutilizable. SAnMBR no sólo presenta las principales ventajas de los reactores de membranas
(i.e. efluente de alta calidad, y pocas necesidades de espacio), sino que también presenta las
principales ventajas de los procesos anaerobios. En este sentido, la tecnología SAnMBR
presenta una baja producción de fangos debido a la baja tasa de crecimiento de los
microorganismos implicados en la degradación de la materia orgánica, presenta una baja
demanda energética debido a la ausencia de aireación, y permite la generación de metano, el
cual representa una fuente de energía renovable que mejora el balance energético neto del
sistema. Cabe destacar el potencial de recuperación de nutrientes del agua residual bien cuando
el efluente es destinado a irrigación directamente, o bien cuando debe ser tratado previamente
mediante tecnologías de recuperación de nutrientes.
El objetivo principal de esta tesis doctoral es evaluar la viabilidad de la tecnología SAnMBR
como núcleo en el tratamiento de aguas residuales urbanas a temperatura ambiente. Por lo tanto,
esta tesis se centra en las siguientes tareas: (1) implementación, calibración y puesta en marcha
del sistema de instrumentación, control y automatización requerido; (2) identificación de los
parámetros de operación clave que afectan al proceso de filtración; (3) modelación y simulación
del proceso de filtración; y (4) desarrollo de estrategias de control para la optimización del
proceso de filtración minimizando los costes de operación.
En este trabajo de investigación se propone un sistema de instrumentación, control y
automatización para SAnMBR, el cual fue esencial para alcanzar un comportamiento adecuado
y estable del sistema frente a posibles perturbaciones. El comportamiento de las membranas fue
comparable a sistemas MBR aerobios a escala industrial. Tras más de dos años de operación
ininterrumpida, no se detectaron problemas significativos asociados al ensuciamiento
irreversible de las membranas, incluso operando a elevadas concentraciones de sólidos en el
licor mezcla (valores de hasta 25 g·L-1
). En este trabajo se presenta un modelo de filtración
(basado en el modelo de resistencias en serie) que permitió simular de forma adecuada el proceso de filtración. Por otra parte, se propone un control supervisor basado en un sistema
experto que consiguió reducir el consumo energético asociado a la limpieza física de las
membranas, un bajo porcentaje de tiempo destinado a la limpieza física respecto al total de
operación, y, en general, un menor coste operacional del proceso de filtración.
Esta tesis doctoral está integrada en un proyecto nacional de investigación, subvencionado por
el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), con título ¿Modelación de la aplicación de la
tecnología de membranas para la valorización energética de la materia orgánica del agua
residual y la minimización de los fangos producidos¿ (MICINN, proyecto CTM2008-06809-
C02-01/02). Para obtener resultados representativos que puedan ser extrapolados a plantas
reales, esta tesis doctoral se ha llevado a cabo utilizando un sistema SAnMBR que incorpora
módulos comerciales de membrana de fibra hueca. Además, esta planta es alimentada con el
efluente del pre-tratamiento de la EDAR del Barranco del Carraixet (Valencia, España). / Robles Martínez, Á. (2013).
