Contextualising the continental : the work of German émigré architects in Britain, 1933-45Thomson, Christina January 1999 (has links)
Between 1933 and 1940 between sixty and ninety German architects arrived in Britain as émigrés fleeing from Nazi oppression. The Germany which they left had, until Hitler's intervention, been the centre of European architectural modernism. Making their passage into Britain, they encountered a country whose architectural climate was altogether more traditional. When the first German architects arrived in 1933, architectural modernism was only just taking root, but only a few years later Britain's architectural culture boasted a thriving modernist scene. This coincidence has led historians to draw a direct connection between the presence of German architects and the establishment of modernism in Britain. This thesis, however, advances the current historiography by showing that the role of German émigrés was, rather than to initiate British architectural modernism, to support a development which had taken root before their arrival. Through examination of a number of sources - including personal papers, drawings, photographs, archive material, buildings, and personal interviews - it explores processes of acculturation as evidenced by the work of the émigré architects. A number of in-depth case studies reveal that the new environment in Britain provoked a variety of responses among the German architects, whose work frequently digressed into the realms of British architectural traditions (taking particular inspiration from the architecture of the Georgian period). Looking beyond well-known figures such as Mendelsohn and Gropius, the thesis concludes that the story of architectural migration from Germany to Britain cannot be told in terms of modernism alone. It shows that responses to the émigré situation were highly dependent on the individual architect's background, his or her experience, age, standing and time of arrival, but reveals that, disregarding these differences, all émigré architects to some degree adapted to their new working environment, a tendency which has been described as New Contextualism. Although submitted in the field of History of Art, the scope of this thesis is methodologically and epistemologically wider than might usually be associated with this field. Despite being strongly visually based in its main analysis, the work is inter-disciplinary in approach, incorporating elements of biography, history, sociology, and exile studies, therefore expanding the boundaries of art historical study.

A sociological journey into space : architecture and social structure in a changing local government organisationHirst, Alison January 2011 (has links)
The relationship between the physical work environment and the social practices associated with it has until recently been neglected in studies of organisation and public management. Although there is now growing interest in organisational space, the area is characterised by competing definitions and fragmented contributions. There are still relatively few empirical studies, and no ethnographic studies which have analysed the relationship between organisational space and organisational social processes over time and in depth. A sociological analysis of the interrelationship between the material environment of an organisation and organisational social structures and processes is undertaken, using a case study of a UK local authority which undertook a spatial reconfiguration of all its staff over a period of four years. During this time, successive groups of staff were moved into new or refurbished buildings which were designed to support 'new ways of working', a term which stood for fluid networking across structural boundaries, in particular, directorates and hierarchical levels. In these new offices, all staff were based in open plan space and no employees had official 'ownership' of a particular desk. The new spatial configuration grouped 'strategic' managers in a central headquarters building, 'back office' employees in an adjacent building, and relocated 'locality' staff in 'Public Service Villages' which integrated staff across directorates. Senior managers expressed ambitious intentions for the way in which this new configuration could reshape what they presented as an outdated bureaucracy into an outward-looking, inspirational organisation based on a networked form. The study focuses chiefly on the strategic centre and back office buildings and compares officially stated intentions with the social processes and structures that actually emerged over time in both buildings. The case study is ethnographically-oriented and works within Pragmatist criteria of truth and validity. The analysis uses Lefebvre's conceptualisation of the social production of space to integrate social and spatial dimensions, and link the configuration of space with the social structures of capitalism. To compensate for Lefebvre's relative neglect of agency in the production of space, use is made of Berger and Luckmann's analysis of the social construction of reality. Thus, the thesis applies what Harvey terms the 'geographical imagination', which relates everyday spatial processes to the wider sociospatial configuration ofthe society of which they are a part. The first two contributions link the spatial structure of organisation with the degree of autonomy given to employees. In the strategic centre, new networked structures emerged to an extent, but the transformation to a network form was limited by a hierarchical sociospatial structure, which the study conceptualises as the 'invisible office'. In the back office building, the official priorities appeared to have shifted towards the cost-efficient use of space and the capacity to flex the organisation structure rapidly. This resulted in a sociospatial structure in which the key distinctions were between the top managers and all other staff, and between employees who established unofficial ownership over particular desks and those who could not. In this building, the use of space mapped closely onto the non-inclusive roles which Kallinikos argues are the basic units from which modern organisation is composed. The exchangeable use of space can therefore be understood as a shift in which the efficiency and rationality of bureaucratic organisation is increased. In both buildings, the group of employees at the top of the organisational hierarchy (in what was officially suggested should be an entirely non-hierarchical environment) maintained a semi-private space. While both office environments had the same material capacity for exchangeability, the more powerful organisational members appeared to take root and from this position of spatial stability planned the flexible reconfiguration of other employees.

Právo na odpor / Right to challengeČerný, Tomáš January 2015 (has links)
This thesis aims to give a reflection on the doctrine of the right of resistance in the Czech Republic, its liberal democratic system and legal order. The first part of the thesis presents a short description of the background and the development of the doctrine. It also deals with Article 23 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Basic Freedoms as an attempt of embedment the right of resistance in the Czech law. The subject matter of the second part are the transformation processes taking place in the current world that have an impact and threaten liberal democracies including the Czech Republic. This part also gives examples of the application of right of resistance. The first chapter contains a short historical and a modern definition of the right of resistance. It also defines the following related notions - the revolution, the coup d'état and civil disobedience, that this thesis applies. The second chapter focuses on the history of the right of resistance. It goes back to its roots in Ancient Israel, looks upon the Enlightment authors dealing with the theory of Social contract and concludes with the post-war development. Special focus is turned to the disputed aspects of the right of resistance. The third section deals with possible interpretations of Article 23 of the Charter of Fundamental...

Podíl klavírní hry na profilaci budoucího učitele hudby - hudební výchovy / The proportion of piano at the profiles of future teacher of Music - Music EducationKistyová, Ľubica January 2006 (has links)
The author of the thesis entitled " The Share of Piano Playing in Shaping the Future Music Teacher" wants to bring to attention the importance of piano playing in all parts of the musical educational process and its significant role in forming the personality profile of a future music teacher. Without developed piano playing skills, a teacher cannot take a creative part in the musical educational process, attract the children's attention and involve them in creative musical activities. In the connection with the current educational trends (humanistic, poly-aesthetic principles); the demands on teachers are gradually increasing. Teachers are expected to fulfil high professional and personal criteria to be able to perform effectively at contemporary schools, to control the education, where children's spontaneousness and vivacity play a dominant role. That is why, at the beginning of the thesis, the author discusses philosophical points and then deals with the development of a teacher's personality via the prism of piano playing. The thesis also covers psychological bases of personality from the point of view of three systems: biophysiological- motor-neuronal, cognitive and non-cognitive. In them, the author has found a good basis to apply artistic-interpretational principles present in piano playing. Powered...

Previous issue date: 2015-12-03 / Early diagnosis of Myelomeningocele in the first trimester of pregnancy is important condition for making decision for surgery that corrects the defect of the neural tube through the externalization of the fetus (open surgery). This procedure decreasing the occurrence of Hydrocephalus that affect 90% of the patients with Myelomeningocele, besides reducing other complications related to the malformation. The surgery reduces the scars left by the Myelomeningocele promoting improvements in babies quality life. The present work aims to meet the influence of religion in pregnancies diagnosed with Myelomeningocele. Developed an exploratory research, descriptive and qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews applied according to a script previously elaborated and subsequently categorized to be analyzed. At time before surgery various events and feelings (anxiety, fear, individual and social charges, etc.) occurs and affect mothers safety, leading them to look for the family or those closest to so they can resist the adverse event. Religion collaborates with the confrontation of disease at the time that promotes the knowledge of pregnant women about themselves and prepare them for the future. The results point to the need to humanize diagnosis care and to promote the integration of the family so that the pregnant woman can face the challenges of pregnancy. / O diagnóstico precoce da Mielomeningocele ainda no primeiro trimestre da gestação é condição importante para a tomada de decisão para a cirurgia que corrige o defeito do tubo neural através da exteriorização do feto (cirurgia a céu aberto). O procedimento reduz as ocorrências de hidrocefalia que acometem 90 % dos pacientes com a Mielomeningocele, além de reduzir outras complicações que são relacionadas à malformação. A cirurgia reduz as sequelas deixadas pela Mielomeningocele promovendo melhorias na qualidade de vida dos bebês. O presente trabalho objetiva conhecer a influência da religião em gestações diagnosticadas com a Mielomeningocele. Desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa exploratória, descritiva e com abordagem qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas aplicadas segundo um roteiro previamente elaborado e posteriormente categorizados para serem analisados. O período que antecede o procedimento é propício para a ocorrência de vários eventos e sentimentos (ansiedade, medo, cobranças individuais e sociais, etc.) que abalam a segurança das mães, levando-as a procurar a família ou aqueles mais próximos para que possam resistir ao evento adverso. A religião colabora com o enfrentamento da doença no momento em que promove o conhecimento da gestante sobre si e a prepara para o futuro. Os achados apontam para a necessidade de se humanizar o atendimento para o diagnóstico e promover a integração da família para que a gestante possa enfrentar os desafios da gestação.

Previous issue date: 2016-06-15 / In the last three decades, it has been discloused around the world, including Brazil, the involvement of banks and other corporations on ethical and financial scandals which put at risk the credibility of the financial system. This research aims to understand how the corporate reputation management of Brazilian federal banks is impacted by written information provided to society. Corporate Reputation, as a strategic resource, is studied from the RepTrak® model (RI, 2015) and is defined as a symbolic representation of the organization to its various interest groups (FOMBRUN; RIEL, 1997). Corporate risk management, according to the COSO-ERM model, was found that is a strategic process that intends to identify, manage and mitigate the risks that may affect the organizational goals (COSO, 2007). About the reputation risk, is the probability of loss of asset value arising from negative evaluation of stakeholders (BCBS, 2009), as well as other factors: lower deliveries to expectations set by standards and targets, and contagious of others corporate risks. Public banks are identified as public policies agents; society is the beneficiary of the public policies, relevant stakeholder for public banks and the main recipient of sustainability reports; and sustainability reports are instruments of information disclosure on environmental, social and economic impacts of organizational activities (GRI, 2013). From document analysis and content analysis (mediated by software) of the sustainability reports of Brazilian federal public banks of the biennium 2013-2014, complemented by analysis of language style, it was concluded that the documents provide safe and accessible information, but that corporate anunciated aim to satisfy interests of issuers in highlighting their own corporate image, with damage to the objectivity and impartiality of information and with potential risk of discrediting the reports. So it was interesting to suggest that public banks to adopt a communication strategy that can establish an ethical and effective dialogue with society. Keywords: Corporate reputation management. Corporate risks. Communication strategy. Public Banks. Hermeneutics. / Nas três últimas décadas, tem-se divulgado ao redor do mundo, inclusive no Brasil, o envolvimento de bancos e outras corporações em escândalos éticos e financeiros que colocam em risco a credibilidade do sistema financeiro. Esta pesquisa visa compreender como a gestão da reputação corporativa dos bancos públicos federais brasileiros é impactada por informações escritas destinadas à sociedade. Reputação corporativa, como recurso estratégico, é estudada a partir do modelo RepTrak® (RI, 2015) e é definida como uma representação simbólica da organização perante seus diversos grupos de interesse (FOMBRUN; RIEL, 1997). Gestão de riscos corporativos, segundo o modelo COSO-ERM, é um processo estratégico que busca identificar, administrar e mitigar os riscos capazes de afetar os objetivos organizacionais (COSO, 2007). Quanto ao risco de reputação, é a probabilidade de perda de valor de ativos decorrente da avaliação negativa dos stakeholders (BCBS, 2009) e de outros fatores como: entregas inferiores às expectativas estabelecidas por padrões ou metas, e contágio dos demais riscos corporativos. Os bancos públicos são identificados como agentes de políticas públicas; a sociedade é beneficiária das políticas públicas, stakeholder relevante para os bancos públicos e a principal destinatária dos relatos de sustentabilidade; e os relatos de sustentabilidade são instrumentos de divulgação de informações sobre os impactos ambientais, sociais e econômicos causados pelas atividades organizacionais (GRI, 2013). A partir de análise documental e análise de conteúdo (mediada por software) dos relatos de sustentabilidade dos bancos públicos federais brasileiros do biênio 2013-2014, complementada por análise do estilo de linguagem, concluiu-se que os documentos propiciam informações seguras e acessíveis, mas que os enunciados corporativos objetivam atender interesses dos bancos emissores em destacar a própria imagem corporativa, com prejuízos à objetividade e imparcialidade das informações e com potencial risco de descrédito dos relatos. Por isso, foi interessante sugerir que os bancos públicos adotem estratégia de comunicação capaz de estabelecer um diálogo ético e efetivo com a sociedade.

A igualdade substancial entre os sexos: estudo sobre a participação das mulheres brasileiras na política / Substantial gender equality between sex: study on the participation of brazilian women in politics. (Inglês)Lopes, Karin Becker 30 August 2016 (has links)

Previous issue date: 2016-08-30 / Statistics from the Supreme Electoral Court and other data sources show that, despite the
remarkable progress between the year of 1932 - year when the right to vote for women was
achieved, although restrictive - and 2016, the growth in the number of women in the Brazilian National Congress, after the 1980s, did not follow the rest of the world. It is urgent, as it can be seen, the development of a verification of the remaining conditions that contribute the conservation of male standards in national political elite. It is important to examine the details of the invigorating electoral structure and the singularity of the practiced affirmative actions, in order to assimilate which changes must be taken to solve the modern reflexes of women history, marked by the isolation in the private sphere. The general purpose of this study is to verify the circumstances that follow Brazilian women actuation in the representative political
system, so as to determine if, in this scope, the constitutional right to equality between sexes is effective. To do so, there is an approach to philosophical thinking under the perspective of sexes, with the purpose to understand the ideological bases of intersexual disparity in the political sphere. The search of this understanding is relevant because, until the mid-twentieth century, women actuation was legally submitted to men¿s will and restricted to domestic and maternal activities. Therefore, there is an evaluation of the way in which occurred the process of rights acquisition by women in Brazil, especially the right to vote. This conjuncture goes through the political history of the country, as just after the achievement of the right to vote, two dictatorships were established, with a brief democratic period in between. This
impression reveals itself substantial, as it has relation to the comparative results of the the amount of elected women in the Parliament, since the achievement of full electoral capacity until present time. Once this comparison results in the finding of a stagnation on women¿s participation on formal political growth, there is a reflection about the factors - legal, cultural or ideological - that opposes the progress in this direction. This work makes use of bibliographical compilation trough books, magazines, specialized publications, papers and official data, in order to allow the justification of the conclusions under theoretical focus. The approach was realized in an interdisciplinary way, bringing studies of Philosophy and Political Science to the Constitutional Right. Finally, it is comprehended that several changes are required to allow the development of sexual parity in Brazilian formal politics. Despite the progress of Brazilian women in the occupation of public space in the XX and XXI centuries, its representativity is far from the ideal condition. It is essential to unlink each sex¿s roles in public and private spheres, through awareness in basic education and through courses to spread political education. These providences will allow a cultural change, in long term. For the present moment, changes in the electoral system are imperative: implementation of closed lists, with alternation of sexes, exclusive public electoral financing and raise in the rates of compulsory parties¿ investment on campaigns and women free electoral propaganda.
Keywords: Woman; Politics; Representativity; Equality. / Estatísticas provenientes do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral e de outras fontes de dados
demonstram que, a despeito de ter havido um progresso notável em 1932 ¿ ano de conquista
do direito ao voto feminino, ainda que restritivo ¿ até 2016, o crescimento do número de
mulheres no Congresso Nacional brasileiro, após os anos de 1980, não acompanhou o do
restante do mundo. Urge, como se pode perceber, o desenvolvimento de uma verificação
relativa às condições remanescentes que contribuem com a conservação dos padrões
masculinos na elite política nacional. Insta examinar os pormenores da estrutura eleitoral vigorante, assim como as singularidades das ações afirmativas praticadas, com a intenção de assimilar que mudanças devem ser providenciadas para solucionar os reflexos hodiernos da história da mulher, marcada mormente pelo isolamento na esfera privada. O objetivo geral do estudo remanesce nas circunstâncias que acompanham a atuação das mulheres brasileiras no sistema político representativo, a fim de se averiguar se, nesse âmbito, o direito constitucional à igualdade entre os sexos é efetivo. Para tanto, se aborda o pensamento filosófico sob a perspectiva dos sexos, com o propósito de compreender as bases ideológicas da disparidade intersexual na esfera política. Releva a busca desse entendimento, pois, até meados do século XX, a atuação feminina era legalmente submetida às vontades masculinas e restringida a atividades domésticas e relacionadas à maternidade. Por conseguinte, avalia-se acerca da maneira pela qual ocorreu a aquisição de direitos pelas mulheres, no Brasil, especialmente o
direito de sufrágio. Essa conjuntura perpassa a história política no próprio País, haja vista que, à conquista do direito de voto pela mulher brasileira, se seguiram dois regimes ditatoriais, dentre os quais perdurou breve período democrático. Essa impressão revela-se substancial, na medida em que remete à concepção dos resultados comparativos em relação à quantidade de mulheres eleitas ao Parlamento, desde a conquista da capacidade eleitoral plena até o presente momento. Uma vez que essa conferência resulta na constatação de um marasmo no crescimento da participação feminina na política formal, reflete-se sobre os fatores ¿ legais, culturais ou ideológicos ¿ que obstaculizam o progresso nesse sentido. O trabalho serve-se de levantamento bibliográfico por meio de livros, revistas, publicações especializadas, artigos e dados oficiais, com a finalidade de permitir a justificação das conclusões sob o enfoque teórico. A abordagem foi realizada de modo interdisciplinar, incorporando ao Direito Constitucional estudos de Filosofia e Ciência Política. Por fim, compreende-se que são necessárias diversas mudanças para o desenvolvimento da paridade sexual na política formal brasileira. Ainda que a mulher brasileira tenha progredido na ocupação do espaço público, nos séculos XX XXI, a sua representatividade está longe de uma condição ideal. É essencial a desvinculação de papéis a um e outro sexo nas esferas pública e privada, por meio da
conscientização na educação básica e por intermédio de cursos para difundir a educação
política. Essas são as providências que permitirão uma mudança cultural, a longo prazo. De imediato, forçosas são as alterações suscitadas no sistema eleitoral: implantação de listas fechadas, com alternância de sexos, financiamento eleitoral exclusivamente público e aumento no percentual de investimento compulsório dos partidos políticos nas campanhas e propagandas eleitorais gratuitas femininas.

Previous issue date: 2018-09-20 / Objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the behave of unitary fixed prosthesis supported by morse taper short implants with different crown-toimplant ratios using photoelastic analysis. Materials and methods: a total of 12 morse taper cylindrical implants (TITAMAX WS CORTICAL NEODENT), with 4mm diameter and 5mm length, were individually embedded to photoelastic resin blocks. Three groups (G1, G2 and G3), containing 4 implants each, were created, according to the crown length each group would receive. Each group received a crown size to be evaluated, being in total of 3 crown sizes, whose proportions in relation to implant size were were 1x, 1,5x and 2x (5mm, 7,5mm and 10mm). After screwing the crowns onto the implants, each photoelastic resin model was positioned in a circular polariscope and a 0,5kg compressive axial and oblique (15º) loads were applied on the occlusal surface of the crowns using a universal testing machine. The images were captured by a digital camera and quantitatively analyzed using a software (Fringes®). A grid was created in order to determine 8 points around the implants to analyze the fringes patterns. The collected data was evaluated using Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by the Dunn method, with a significance level (¿) of 5%. Results: Under axial loading, the stress was concentrated at the crestal and apical regions, showing no statistical difference between crown-to-implant ratios. In contrast, under oblique loading, there was statistical difference among these 3 groups. The 10mm-crown group (G3) showed significantly more tension concentration compared to the 5mm and 7,5mm groups, G1 and G2, respectively. A greater tension concentration was found at the apical and cervical regions located on contralateral side form the implants. Conclusion: the increase in the crown-to-implant ratio leads to a greater tension concentration around the implant, specially under oblique loads. Although short dental implants have success rates similar to those longer implants, mechanical principles must be analyzed and carefully planned in order to achieve a stable and successful rehabilitation. / Objetivos: este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os padrões das franjas fotoelásticas em torno de implantes curtos, pilares de coroas unitárias com diferentes proporções coroa-implante (C/I). Materiais e Métodos: um total de 12 implantes cilíndricos TITAMAX® WS CORTICAL NEODENT, com conexão do tipo Cone-Morse, com diâmetro (Ø)4mm e comprimento de 5mm, foram inseridos individualmente em blocos de resina fotoelástica. Foram criados 03 grupos (G1, G2 e G3) de 04 implantes, de acordo com o tamanho da coroa a ser instalada. Cada grupo recebeu um tamanho de coroa a ser avaliada, sendo no total 3 tamanhos de coroas, cujas proporções em relação ao tamanho do implante eram de 1x, 1,5x e 2x (5mm, 7,5mm e 10mm). Cada corpo de prova foi posicionado no polariscópio e sobre esse foi aplicada uma carga estática compressiva de 0,5kg, de forma obliqua (15¿) e axial. As imagens obtidas no polariscópio foram gravadas digitalmente, e baseado nas franjas isocromáticas, o estresse de cisalhamento pode ser mensurado em 8 pontos predeterminados em torno de cada implante. Os dados foram avaliados pelo teste não-paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis, seguido pelo método de Dunn, com nível de significância (¿) de 5%. Resultados: O ensaio mecânico revelou não haver diferença estatística significante quando a proporção coroa-implante é extrapolada de 1:1 a 2:1, quando uma carga axial é aplicada. Porém, quando submetidos à carga oblíqua, há diferença estatística entre os grupos (p<0,05). Os implantes com coroas de 10mm (proporção coroa-implante 2:1), apresentaram maior concentração de tensão, quando comparados aos conjuntos com coroas de 5mm e 7,5mm, proporção coroa-implante 1:1 e 1,5:1, respectivamente. Maior concentração de tensão na região cervical contralateral à aplicação da carga e região apical do implante foi verificada quando os corpos de prova foram submetidos à carga oblíqua. Conclusão: O aumento da proporção coroa-implante acarreta maior concentração de tensão ao redor do implante. Embora implantes curtos apresentem taxas de sucessos compatíveis com implantes longos, princípios mecânicos devem ser analisados e planejados para a obtenção de uma reabilitação estável e de sucesso a longo prazo.

Apresentamos uma proposta de ensino e aprendizagem com características de ser facilitadora no processo de construção do conhecimento, fundamentada em pressupostos teóricos da Teoria da Aprendizagem Significativa sob a perspectiva da inserção da Informática na Educação. O conteúdo proposto para estudo é o Teste Qui-quadrado (χ2) que desenvolvemos dentro da disciplina de Bioestatística em uma turma regular do curso de Nutrição, no Universidade do Vale do Taquari Univates – Lajeado. As informações procedentes da produção dos estudantes durante o desenvolvimento dos encontros foram colhidas através de materiais próprios elaborados para este fim, observação direta e depoimentos. Para subsidiar a análise e discussão destas informações foram previamente estabelecidos aspectos cognitivos e motivacionais, através dos quais fosse possível evidenciar a ocorrência da aprendizagem significativa. Ao final do trabalho, considera-se positivas as evidências encontradas da ocorrência de construção significativa de novos conceitos e do aprimoramento dos conceitos pré-existentes na estrutura cognitiva dos estudantes. Defende-se, assim, que a cooperação entre estas duas vertentes, a Aprendizagem Significativa e a Informática na Educação, contribui para o estabelecimento de um processo instrucional que valoriza a formação efetiva do estudante, pois possibilita transformações nas formas de ensinar, aprender e interagir com o conhecimento.
