Foi descoberto que as representações femininas no texto de Os sete gatinhos seguem a tradicional fórmula da mulher que sintetiza forças antagônicas - como o Bem e o Mal, a Sexualidade e a Virtude - difundidas na sociedade brasileira do período em que foi escrita a peça

The aim of the study is to analyze the representation of isiXhosa traditional culture through the coverage on media coverage as the topic suggests following a legal battle on the removal of the remains of Mandela‘s children in the year 2013. The online news articles selected in this study covered issues since Mandela was in and out of hospital. The articles covered are those of local newspaper, The Herald-online- as it is based in the Eastern Cape and has covered more on the traditional beliefs, understanding and following such rituals. The aim of the study is to explore and describe the perceptions and experiences of people around the family feud and the legal battle on the removal of those remains. It will also emphasize on the representation of the media on this problem and how Xhosa tradition can be affected and also compare other newspaper articles on their coverage.

The purpose of this study was to study marital turnarounds by focusing on the exploration of the reasons for couples remarrying each other. A comprehensive approach based on human ecology provided a framework for exploring the reasons for marital turnarounds ranging from micro to macro level factors. Data was collected through six semi-structured interviews, with two African marital turnaround couples from the Nelson Mandela Metropole. Data analysis was carried out systematically through a stepwise process. Data verification and trustworthiness was also performed. Five major themes emerged from the data analysis of the interviews as follows: Culture and religious influences, individual influences, personal growth, family influences and the influence of friends. Culture and religion emerged as powerful theme in shaping decisions about marital turnaround. An important sub-theme was that, in a culture that continues to value marriage as a permanent commitment, spouses internalised the social and religious norm of marriage as a permanent commitment.

Cette thèse de doctorat est consacrée à la pensée du philosophe américain Nelson Goodman (1906-1998). Nous y défendons, à l’encontre de la plus grande partie de la critique, une lecture métaphysicienne de son œuvre. Il est démontré que Goodman, dans tous ses travaux, développe une métaphysique technique et méconnue, dont les piliers sont le nominalisme, le pluralisme, le perdurantisme, l’actualisme, et l’universalisme méréologique. Cette lecture permet de réévaluer l’ensemble de la pensée goodmanienne. Elle établit aussi ses liens insoupçonnés avec la métaphysique analytique contemporaine.

An ecosystem study, based on the concept and approach of biogeoclimatology (sensu the Krajina school of ecosystem classification), was conducted in the boreal forest of northeastern British Columbia in the Fort Nelson area. The prime purpose of this study was to produce an ecological classification of forested ecosystems of the area. The resulting classification was based on an analysis of as many environmental and vegetational characteristics as feasible. Interpretations of the environmental and vegetational analyses presented attempt to explain the factors which conspicuously contribute to ecosystem processes and development. The vegetation from 95 phytogeocoenotic plots was classified into 6 orders, 10 alliances and 15 associations and the soils were classified into 17 subgroups, some with their gleyed variations. Detailed soil analysis and descriptions are major components of the ecosystem descriptions. The ecosystems are summarized environmentally by their projection on an eda-topic grid of moisture and nutrient regimes. An elemental ash analysis was carried out on surface organic horizons. Ca and Mg content appear to be good indicators of the positions that ecosystems occupy on the edatopic grid. Additionally, mor humus of black spruce ecosystems was compared with moder humus of aspen ecosystems. It is confirmed that moder humus has properties which are more conducive to high biological activity than does mor humus. It is concluded that the cold boreal climate , flatness of the terrain, prevailingly fine textured soil parent material, and fairly frequent forest fires are the dominant environmental factors influencing ecosystem structure and dynamics in the study area. The fine texture of the parent material frequently causes very slow percolation of water through soils which produces semi-stagnant water conditions instead of the rich seepage sites of more easily drained materials in other areas. Sufficient moisture is retained in these fine textured soils to prevent xeric conditions from developing, even in shedding topographic positions. The cold temperatures reduce biological activity, of the area to the point where nutrient poor, mor humus conditions develop. Mor humus promotes degradation of soils. However, this process is greatly inhibited by frequent forest fires. These fires maintain aspen stands as a fire climax which retards the development of strong acidity, so characteristic in mor humus of black spruce stands (the theoretical climatic climax). The general flatness of the terrain results in poor drainage of the area and favours the development of bogs. In high moors, a permafrost layer consistently occurs. / Science, Faculty of / Botany, Department of / Graduate

Three cave sites, Nelson Bay Cave on the coast, Kangkara in an intermontane valley and Boomplaas some 80 km inland in the southern Cape Province, South Africa, were excavated between 1970 and 1979. Nearly 225 000 stone artefacts from the Later Stone Age sequence dating within the last 20 000 years are described from these three sites and are related to micro- and macroevolutionary changes at a regional and sub-continental level to provide a model for change in the Later Stone Age. The classification scheme was designed to highlight inter- and intra-site variability through time and focused on analysis of the successive stages in the reduction sequence from raw material nodule to finished tool. Linear regression was used to test for interdependence and independence of variables and the significance of changes in size and shape of untrimmed flakes and scrapers was assessed. In the case of the scrapers, samples from the three southern Cape sites and from the eastern and northern Cape were compared and tested for significance with Mann Whitney and Kolmogorov-Smirnov two-sample non-parametric tests. The results indicate two levels of change through time, that involving the appearance of innovations that can be described as macroevolutionary, and that involving the subsequent modification of the frequency, size and shape of these innovations and other artefacts already part of the toolkit that can be described as microevolutionary change. By comparison with modern technological data, innovative changes represent the diffusion and acceptance of major advances in tool technology that are predictable from trends observed in modern technology. Post-innovative or microevolutionary changes, on the other hand, take the form of oscillations around a gradually changing mean that are similar to changes in style or fashion in the modern idiom. The hypothesis that technological change was stimulated by environmental change was tested by comparing the timing of technological changes with those seen in oxygen isotope ratios in a Cango Cave stalagmite, charcoals from woody plants brought into Boomplaas Cave for firewood, small mammals caught by owls and eaten at Boomplaas and Nelson Bay Cave, and larger mammals hunted by people at all three sites. The results indicate that there is no consistent relationship between changes in the stone tool technology and environmental change. There is, however, a coincidence in the timing of changes in the larger mammals hunted and the stone tool technology that took place over a relatively short span of time between 12 000 and 11 000 B.P., post-dating major environmental adjustments at the end of the last glacial cycle by some 3000 years. Technological changes that took place between 8000 and 6000 B.P. were not coincident with a change in the animals hunted, nor with an equally sudden shift in environmental data, while a change in economy from hunting to herding within the last 2000 years was not accompanied by a change in the stone tool technology although pottery was added to the toolkit. There is thus a very complex relationship between economy, technology and environmental change that is not readily predictable. The sequence in the southern Cape can be described in terms of punctuated equilibria, but the times of rapid change in technology, economy and climate do not always coincide. In the technological system periods of relative stasis have been labelled the Robberg, Albany and Wilton industries. The content, dating and evidence for subsistence during the Later Stone Age south of the Zambesi is reviewed from several hundred dated horizons at over 160 sites and although there is some spatial variability, the sequence of technological changes is much the same throughout the sub-continent. This confirms the long-held belief that the innovations that spread through the sub-continent were diffused over a very wide area of the Old World as the result of a well developed network of intercommunications during the Stone Age, while at times population migrations also took place. Microevolutionary changes, on the other hand, tend to be more regionally specific and may have been stimulated by different cues.

Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que se debruçou sobre um viés ainda pouco estudado da expressão de Nelson Rodrigues: seus textos folhetinescos. Buscouse localizar, identificar e caracterizar, nos folhetins escritos para os jornais nas décadas de 1940 e 1950, a estrutura teatral de Nelson Rodrigues em germe. Adentrando o terreno da experiência cotidiana e da circunstância nacional, procuramos discutir a conexão desse tipo de literatura com o momento histórico e o papel reproduzido por elas nas formas de pensar as relações sociais do momento de sua divulgação. A partir das dimensões cotidianas captadas no Brasil de 1940, refletiu-se especialmente sobre as representações sociais reproduzidas nos enredos criados por Nelson Rodrigues na pele de Suzana Flag e Myrna, discutindo com mais ênfase o retrato da mulher e do casamento, dentro de uma sociedade conservadora. Buscouse, ainda, fixar as constantes temáticas dos textos do dramaturgo e seus posteriores desdobramentos. Paralelamente, ensejou-se vislumbrar as necessidades do homem moderno de absorver mundos imaginários por elas erigidos e discutir o fenômeno de leitura que tais obras representaram. Para tanto, abrangeu-se desde suas experiências como repórter policial no jornal do pai, Mario Rodrigues, até suas experiências femininas como folhetinista em jornais da época (O Jornal, Crítica, O cruzeiro) e posteriores práticas como dramaturgo e cronista. Foram analisados os folhetins Meu destino é pecar (1944); Escravas do amor (1944); Minha vida (1946); Núpcias de Fogo (1948) e O homem proibido ( 1951), escritos sob o pseudônimo de Suzana Flag; A mulher que amou demais (1949), de Myrna, relacionando-os com alguns contos da coluna diária A vida como ela é... (1951-1961) e algumas de suas peças teatrais. Por fim, buscou-se verificar o que os folhetins A mentira (1953) e Asfalto Selvagem (1959-60) revelam da atmosfera obsedante das composições rodriguianas. / This work shows the results of a search whose focuses was a point of view of a little bit explored Nelson Rodriguess expression: his feuilletons texts. First of all, we tended to localize, to identify and to characterize in the feuilletons written for the newspapers during the 40s and the 50s the Authors dramatic structure. Into the quotidian experience subject and the national scenery, we tried to discuss the connexion between this kind of literature and the historical situation, and their reproductions on the social thoughts and relationships in the moment of publication. From the quotidian dimension founded in Brazil of the 40s we have thought especially about the social representations brought in the intrigues created by Rodrigues using his female pseudonyms Suzana Flag and Myrna, discussing with more emphasis the womanhood and the states of the marriage into a conservatory society. May further purpose to fix the constantly dramatists set of themes and his posterior evolution. Drawing a parallel, tented to show the modern man needs in assimilate imaginary worlds created by this impetus and to discuss the phenomenon of literature which this works meant. For this, the studies embraced since Rodriguess experiences as a journalist in Mario Rodriguess his father publications, until his female experiences as writer in journals from that time (O Jornal, Crítica, O cruzeiro), and the posterior practices as a dramatist and chronicler. It was analysed the feuilletons Meu destino é pecar (1944); Escravas do amor (1944); Minha vida (1946); Núpcias de Fogo (1948) and O homem proibido ( 1951), written under Suzana Flags pseudonym; A mulher que amou demais (1949), written under Myrnas pseudonym, connecting them with the daily column A vida como ela é... (1951-1961) and some plays for theatre. At the end, we tended to observe what the feuilletons A mentira (1953) and Asfalto Selvagem (1959-60) disclose about Rodriguess universe.
