hipótese inicialmente delineada era a de que os Movimentos Sociais não teriam inserção no Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida, uma vez que ele foi arquitetado alheio ao Plano Nacional de Habitação no bojo da Política Nacional de Habitação, tema incansavelmente discutido durante décadas por este grupo e outros setores da sociedade civil. Examinamos então o legado das políticas federais de habitação empreendidas no Brasil desde o período da Ditadura Militar até o advento do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida, o que nos levou a compreender, além do Programa propriamente dito, também suas inspirações e seu contexto de criação. Porém, já em 2009 (ano do lançamento do Programa), havia em seu portfólio uma modalidade específica para ser executada por entidades sem fins de lucro, buscamos compreender então como se deu a inserção e o acesso dos Movimentos Sociais de Moradia ao Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida. O que significou entender a formulação do programa Minha Casa Minha Vida Entidades, bem como sua operação. A análise de empreendimentos em obra ou em projeto na cidade de São Paulo e sua região metropolitana bem como todos os outros aspectos levantados na investigação permitiram concluir que a modalidade Entidades é um conjunto de adaptações de programas habitacionais federais pregressos e do próprio Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida em sua modalidade de atendimento à Faixa 1 (famílias cujos rendimentos alcançam até 3 salários mínimos mensais) operada pelo FAR. Permitiu concluir ainda que sua existência não significa condições favoráveis de acesso ao Programa pelos movimentos sociais que a reivindicaram. A tese analisa e discute a importância do advento da modalidade (parte) colocando-a em perspectiva com o Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida (todo), e sugere sua permanência, mesmo à despeito de seus problemas ideológicos, orçamentários e operacionais. / The initial outlined hypothesis was that Social Movements would not have insertion in My House My Life Program, since it has been projected not considering the National Housing Plan in the core of the National Housing Policy, which is a theme that was tirelessly discussed for decades by this group and other sectors of civil society. So, we examined the legacy of federal housing policies carried out in Brazil since the period of the Military Dictatorship until the advent of the My House My Life, which led us to understand the Program itself and more, as its inspirations and context of creation. However, in 2009 (year of the the Program release), there was in its portfolio a specific modality to be performed by non-profit entities. Then, we sought to understand how Housing Social Movements were inserted and had access to My House My Life Program. This meant to understand the formulation of the Program and its operation. The real estate projects analysis under construction or project in the Sao Paulo city and its metropolitan area as well as all other issues raised in the investigation showed that the Entities mode is a set of previous history federal housing programs adaptations and own My House My Life Program in your service modality Track 1 (families whose incomes reach up to 3 times the minimum wage) operated by FAR. It has also concluded that its existence does not mean favorable access conditions to the Program by the social movements that have claimed. The thesis analyzes and discusses the importance of modality advent (part) placing it in perspective with the My House My Life Program (whole), and suggests its stay, just despite its ideological, budgetary and operational problems.

Research has found that females on the autism spectrum often spend years not understanding why they are different resulting in experienced otherness. My self-directed study written through narrative and poetry-explored the story of a non-traditional graduate student on the autism spectrum at a university. This thesis addresses the question “how is identity shaped through life events”? Looking inside the layers and doorways of self challenged my own long held assumptions of difference and marginalization. Acceptance of self is a lifetime journey. The result showed mentoring is a critical function of academic and personal success. Suggestions are provided to educators to see the person as an individual, look for the twice-gifted student, and attempt to understand the feelings of marginality. These suggestions are presented with the hope of bringing insight and awareness to educators’ understanding of individuals on the wide spectrum called Autism.

This research reconsiders two ABC programs from the early 1990s, Twin Peaks and My So-Called Life, through the frames of queer-theory based textual analysis, press discourse, and fan reception. I begin by arguing that both programs, which emerged in concert with the solidification of queer studies as an academic field, exist as televisual oddities that provided a temporary space for the exploration of queer subjectivities in primetime; this analysis also invokes the non-normative positioning of showrunners David Lynch and Winnie Holzman based on their previous and subsequent work. Secondly, I posit popular press receptions/retrospectives as undermining the queer centrality of both programs by adhering to heteronormative frameworks such as “quality television.” Lastly, I discuss fan reclamations of both programs through slash fiction and collaborative web forums as illuminating the intrinsic queerness of Twin Peaks and My So-Called Life lost through dominant press narratives. / text

In Willa Cather's My Ántonia, nostalgia marks both the ambience of the novel and its critical focus. This thesis illuminates Cather's self-aware deployment of nostalgia as an artistic tool and nostalgia's role in Jim Burden's agenda-driven narrative. Jim adopts nostalgic narrative as propaganda to justify and glorify his past and present life, presenting his past as a simplified and romanticized origin myth. However, through the novel's frame narrative and the frequent, jarring vignettes of violence and discord, Cather undermines Jim's authority as a narrator and prompts reconsideration of Cather's endorsement of his nostalgic creation. By appreciating the complex deployment of nostalgia within the text we are prompted to reconsider assumptions about nostalgia, Cather, and Cather's interest in representations of the past.

Το αντικείμενο της παρούσας Διπλωματικής Εργασίας είναι η ανάπτυξη και υλοποίηση μιας εφαρμογής cloud για διαδικτυακές υπηρεσίες. Συγκεκριμένα, η εφαρμογή ονομάζεται My Calendar και αφορά ένα προσωπικό ημερολόγιο. Η εφαρμογή βρίσκεται στην υποδομή «νέφους» της Google και οι τελικοί χρήστες μπορούν να έχουν πρόσβαση στην υπηρεσία μέσω ενός web browser. Αρχικά, γίνεται η εισαγωγή στις έννοιες του cloud computing καθώς και σε αυτές της πλατφόρμας της Google. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάζεται ο τρόπος υλοποίησης της εφαρμογής και αναλύονται οι λειτουργίες της. Ο εκάστοτε χρήστης, αφού πρώτα δημιουργήσει τον προσωπικό του λογαριασμό, μπορεί να έχει πρόσβαση στην παρεχόμενη υπηρεσία. Η προσπάθεια επικεντρώθηκε κυρίως στην παρουσίαση μιας απλής και εύχρηστης εφαρμογής και δόθηκε ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στο λειτουργικό κομμάτι, ώστε και ο πλέον άπειρος χρήστης να κατανοεί τη διαδικασία και να μπορεί να χρησιμοποιεί την εφαρμογή εύκολα και γρήγορα για τις καθημερινές του εργασίες οργανώνοντας το πρόγραμμά του. / This diploma thesis deals with the development of a cloud application for web services. The application is called “My Calendar” and it is hosted on Google’s infrastructure. Everyone can access it from a simple web browser. First of all, we make an introduction in order to understand the meaning of cloud computing and be able to handle with the Google Cloud Platform. We describe the deployment of the application and we present its operations. Users must register in order to login and, after that, they could enter the interface which enables them to organize their schedule. We tried to focus on creating a user-friendly application and we emphasized on the functionality, so even the most inexperienced user could easily cope with it. As a result, we developed “My Calendar” with a view to everyone who wants to manage his/her scheduled tasks.
