Douglas Henry Pike was born in China in 1908, the second of five children, whose Australian parents were missionaries with a Protestant interdenominational faith mission, the China Inland Mission. Following graduation from an English style mission boarding school at Chefoo in northern China, Pike came to Melbourne in 1924; and from 1926 spent twelve years jackerooing on various New South Wales country properties. He returned to Melbourne in 1938, trained for the ministry in a Churches of Christ College, graduated in November 1941, married Olive Hagger and was sent to Adelaide. During pastorates at Colonel Light Gardens and Glenelg he studied at the University of Adelaide for his BA. He achieved History Honours, resigned from the ministry, taught briefly in Adelaide and at the University of Western Australia then returned to Adelaide as Reader from 1950 to 1960. Pike obtained his MA, then the D. Litt. for Paradise of Dissent, a history of South Australia. During the 1950s he wrote a series of newspaper articles, ‘Early Adelaide with the lid off’. Douglas Pike (1908-1974) South Australian and Australian Historian. In 1960 he was appointed to the Chair of History at the University of Tasmania and published his second book, Australia: The Quiet Continent. In 1964 he moved to the Australian National University and commenced his pioneering task as founding editor of the Australian Dictionary of Biography. Therefore the most significant period of his working life in history and historiography covers the years from 1948 until his sudden illness in November 1973, and death in May 1974. The Second World War at first slowed but then stimulated the teaching and writing of history in Australia. Pike commenced his university studies during the war; his research and writing followed in the post-war period. His years in academia witnessed the establishment between 1946 and 1958 of four more universities in Australia, including the ANU, where he spent the last ten years of his life. However, apart from book reviews, obituaries in newspapers and journals, biographical paragraphs and the ADB, Pike’s contribution and significance to Australian historiography has been largely neglected. My thesis is based on personal interviews and correspondence with people who knew Douglas Pike, including family members, together with archival material from the Australian National Library and the universities where Pike worked. Printed sources include newspapers, journals, and Pike’s own published writings. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1347424 / Thesis (M.A.) - University of Adelaide, School of History and Politics, 2008

Thesis (M. Sc. (Zoology)) -- University of Limpopo, 2015 / The unprecedented expansion in human population and industry, since the industrial revolution in the late 1700s, has led to increased anthropogenic activities which have indisputably impacted freshwater ecosystems and biological communities therein, including fish. Although this has understandably been the focus, under natural aquatic conditions, no organism is only affected by pollution. Parasites have also been shown in a number of interdisciplinary studies to affect the health of aquatic hosts (amphibians, crustaceans, fish, and mammals). This is illustrated in a number of comprehensive studies the detrimental effects parasites exacerbate when their hosts (fish) are stressed. Therefore, the ability of parasites to interact with anthropogenic stressors, as well as effects they have on the genetic, cellular or tissue level of their host is crucial in conservation and sustaining aquatic biodiversity. As such, the present study examined the combined effects of pollution and metazoan parasites on the health and oxidative stress biomarkers, evaluated for the first time for silver carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (Valenciennes, 1844) and rednose mudfish, Labeo rosae Steindachner, 1894, in one of South Africa’s impacted freshwater ecosystems, Flag Boshielo Dam, Olifants River System, Limpopo Province. Seasonal surveys were conducted from February 2012–January 2013. A total of 111 H. molitrix and 116 L. rosae fish specimens were collected using conventional angling gear, scoop and gill nets with stretched mesh sizes of 30–110 mm. The two selected cyprinid fish species were assessed for oxidative stress biomarkers [Glutathione S-transferase (GST), lipid peroxidation (MDA) and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC)] and parasitism of metazoan parasites. Concentrations of biomarkers of oxidative damage and antioxidant defense in the gill and liver tissue were measured to assess how these major organs of the immune system responded to oxidative stress associated with parasitic infections. In addition, water quality analyses were carried out by testing an assay of physico-chemical parameters to establish the level of contamination. Fish health was assessed using the Health Assessment Index (HAI), refined Parasite Index (PI), Inverted Parasite Index (IPI) and Condition Factor (K) protocols. Relative to previous studies at Flag Boshielo Dam, water quality results showed an increase of nutrients, major ions and several metals which may have adverse effects that may comprise fish health; however, this dam remains moderately polluted in a mesotrophic state. The fish health assessment results indicated that H. molitrix was more affected in terms of the necropsy and parasite based assessments (HAI, IPI and K) with mean±SD of 65.68±35.51; 68.29±25; 0.82±0.20, respectively, as compared to 39.14±22.44; 28.79±18.33; 1.17±0.21 for L. rosae during the study. In addition, significantly higher parasitic infections (mean prevalence of infection with any species of parasite = 45.3±0.13) were observed for H. molitrix than L. rosae (12.0±0.05). Furthermore, there was considerable variation in biomarker concentration between highly infected and non-infected fish, for and between each species and tissues with regard to parasite infection, suggesting that the specific functions of each tissue are associated with their susceptibility to oxidative stress, as well as their ability to defend against oxidative damage. These results illustrate that although fish are affected by aquatic contaminants they are to an extent affected by parasites, which may act synergistically on the health of the two fish species. Most importantly, it was suggested that knowledge on the parasites of alien H. molitrix when compared to indigenous L. rosae may give an indication of how adaptive this fish are to new localities as well as expands the information on the rarely studied biology, epizootiology and ecological interactions of these two cyprinid species. Keywords: Health Assessment Index, refined Parasite Index, Inverted Parasite Index, Condition Factor, water quality, lipid peroxidation, Glutathione S-transferase, Total Antioxidant Capacity, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Labeo rosae, Flag Boshielo Dam.

Toni Morrison and Kathy Acker write their novels within the subversive feminist literary movement described by Helene Cixous in “Laugh of the Medusa”. Through Morrison’s Paradise and Acker’s Blood and Guts in High School they create a platform for women silenced by their bodily trauma to express and eventually liberate themselves from their traumatic pasts. These female writers are calling attention to the pandemic of misogyny-related violence and allowing assault survivors to speak through their pain.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Jeane das Gracas Araujo Silva.pdf: 477587 bytes, checksum: ee963c11caef33cce919d924fa94ad8f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2005-08-31 / This dissertation has as object the studying of Saint Dica`s case, occurred in Lagoa Village, nowadays Lagolândia, district of Pirenópolis, in Goiás State, in the second decade of 20th century. Analyzed by others researchers was interpreted as being a social movement of messianic kind, common, at the beginning of the Republic, as Muckers, Canudos, Contestado, Juazeiro had happened. The main objective of the refered work is try to explain this kind of movement as being created by archetype of Terra Sem Mal, present in the Brazilian imaginary, that showed up in political, economic social crises situations. The principal hypothesis was settled with: if it is possible to understand profoundly these social movements named milenaristas, as being myths that belong to the humanity imaginary. The studies of Jung are usuful as basis to the discussion about archetypes, the ones of Sergio Buarque de Holanda are based in the vision of the paradise of colonizing that stood in the imaginary of the Brazilian people. The sense of this utopia of paradise was interpreted by the symbolic study of Eliade and complemented with the Eternal Return of the same phenomenologist. To the history part of the chosen subject the author exploited the dissertation of professor Lauro Vasconcelos, the first academic informative about Saint Dica and also with the dissertation of professor Eleonora Zicari. Newspapers, magazines, movie documentaries and field researches, complemented the data collectio Hermeneuticas being the search of sense of the social actor behavior served to reveal Saint Dica movement. The most important conclusion of this dissertation is that, albeit the political, economic and social crises, and even the ones psychologics may contribute to the rising of these movements, however, there is, independent of these external conditions, in the human imaginary, an appeal to the Paradise. In the imaginary of the Brazilian people this archetype has a cultural historical support, since the arrival of the Portuguese going through the republic messianic movement, and this appeal, as Eliade says, acts in a circular way, that is, goes and comes back, it is a Myth that always returns, specially in Saint Dica case, still present, in Lagolândia, in spite of her leader had died in 1970, thirty years ago. / Esta dissertação tem como objeto de estudo o caso de Santa Dica, acontecido no povoado de Lagoa, hoje Lagolândia, distrito de Pirenópolis, no Estado de Goiás, na década de 1920. Analisado por outros estudiosos foi interpretado como sendo um movimento social de tipo messiânico, comum, no início da república, pois os Mucker, Canudos, Contestado, Juazeiro tinham acontecido. O objetivo principal do trabalho é tentar explicar este tipo de movimento como sendo gerado pelos arquétipos da Terra sem Mal, presentes no imaginário brasileiro, que em situações de crise, tanto política, quanto econômica e social se manifestam. A hipótese principal ficou sendo: se é possível compreender de modo mais profundo estes movimentos sociais ditos milenaristas, como sendo mitos que pertencem ao imaginário da humanidade. Os estudos de Jung servem para fundamentar a reflexão sobre arquétipos, os de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda fundamentam a visão de paraíso dos colonizadores que ficou implantada no imaginário brasileiro. O sentido desta utopia do paraíso foi interpretado com o estudo simbólico de Eliade e completado pela teoria do Eterno Retorno do mesmo fenomenólogo romeno. Para a parte histórica do tema escolhido a autora trabalhou com a dissertação do professor Lauro de Vasconcelos, o primeiro informe acadêmico sobre Santa Dica, e com a dissertação da professora Eleonora Zicari. Jornais, revistas, documentários de cinema e observação de campo, complementaram a coleta de dados. A hermenêutica, como sendo a busca de sentido do comportamento do ator social serviu para desvelar o movimento de Santa Dica. Ficou como conclusão mais importante da dissertação é que muito embora, as crises sociais, econômicas, políticas e até mesmo, crises psicológicas possam contribuir com o nascimento destes movimentos, contudo existe, independente destas condições externas, no imaginário do homem um apelo para o Paraíso, no imaginário do brasileiro este arquétipo tem suporte histórico cultural, desde a chegada dos portugueses passando pelos movimentos messiânicos da república, e este apelo, como diz Eliade, age de forma circular, isto é, vai e vem, é um Mito que sempre retorna, e no caso de Santa Dica, ainda presente, em Lagolândia, apesar da líder ter morrido em 1970, há 35 anos atrás.

The purpose of this essay is to examine if we can identify any differences how the reality show Paradise hotel highlights gender in the seasons 2010 and 2018. This is achieved through the participant’s interactions and the producer’s role in this representation. To make our arguments valid in the results and analysis, we will support our claims to theories related to gender, sexuality and communication. In the theory and previous research section we describe how these theories work and how these elements play an essential role for our study. The material for this study is a strategic selection of two episodes from the season 2018 and four episodes from the season 2018. The method of this research is a qualitative study. In this section we describe its advantages and disadvantages related to our study and why it has been chosen. In the analysis and result section we categorize characteristic scenes to illustrate what we have seen and how we interpret these themes linked to essential theories and former research. Further on, we illustrate the differences between the seasons and highlights the most significant results in the discussion section. The result of this study expose that Paradise Hotel have significant differences of how the female participants are represented in the introductions of the seasons 2010 and 2018. We can identify a typical representation of a female in 2010 and a more powerful and confident woman in 2018. Further on, the production in the latest season are consciously giving the power of the game in the female’s hands. The men in this season are represented as stereotypes (romantics, badboys and sports-beasts). The male competitors, in both seasons, have a tendency to be represented as sexual and powerful in the introduction. On the other hand, we cannot perceive that the men in the 2010 season appear this way later on in the program. The woman in the same season, didn’t particularly need to appear in line with their introduction either. The latest season depicted a more vulgar approach to sex. Furthermore, we couldn’t see a difference how the sexes talked about sex. The sexuality in this season could also be recognized as more floating and norm-breaking. Keywords: Paradise Hotel, femininity, masculinity, gender, stereotypes, power, media category and framing

This thesis provides an interpretative study of Augustine of Hippo’s City of God, book 14. The introduction explains how the thesis demonstrates that Augustine only partially endorses a model of emotional control through reason, and asserts that the key to his emotions doctrine is not to be found in an affections-passions dichotomy. It also addresses Augustine’s engagement with Platonism in the text, and, using work by Volker Drecoll, explains how the commentary-style project is able to situate City 14 within the Pelagian controversy ca. A.D. 419. The following seven chapters proceed uninterruptedly through City 14, clarifying Augustine’s argumentative aims and making use of secondary scholarship and philological tools to investigate points of fine detail. Chapter 1 explores City 14.1, his recapitulation of City 11-13 and his setting out of the initial two-cities dichotomy. Chapter 2 explores City 14.2-5, in which Augustine critiques Manichean or Platonist positions that the body is bad or evil. Chapter 3 explores City 14.6-9, and Augustine’s explication of the Biblical doctrine of emotions. Chapter 4 explores City 14.10-15, and the theme of the primal Fall and the will being ‘spontaneous’. Chapter 5 explores City 14.16-20, and Augustine’s exploration of the disobedience of the genitals in all forms of sex, including married life. Chapter 6 explores City 14.21-25, in which Augustine discusses the workings of Adam and Eve’s hypothetical sexual experience in the Pre-Fall Paradise. Chapter 7 explores City 14.26-28, in which Augustine recapitulates City 14.10-25, and comments on the workings of Providence, before hurtling towards the final dichotomy about the two cities being separated by their ‘loves’. A conclusion reviews the main points of the thesis. The thesis makes extensive use of German and French scholarship, of the CCL 48 Latin text, and the tools of the CAG 3 Augustine database; it occasionally contests the chapter divisions found in modern editions.

On the one hand, we go through the travel literature and chronicles of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries who built the image of Brazil as a terrestrial paradise, and secondly, we analyze the review and remitização this same myth revisited by novelist Ana Miranda in the late twentieth century. For this achievement are important theoretical work of Michel de Certeau, Hayden White that provide a study of the relationship between history and literature, since the corpus of work includes, on de one hand, accounts and chronic and, secondly, the historical narratives novelist. For the study of mythical and symbolic content present in the speeches of these authors are important theoretical contributions of Mircea Eliade, Joseph Campbell and Gilbert Durand. To study the myth of the earthly Paradise in the colonial period the authors Sergio Buarque de Holanda and Laura de Mello e Souza, references that support the theoretical discussion of the thesis were used. The task of literary criticism, the study is a contribution to understanding the critical fortune of travel literature and also of novelistic work of Ana Miranda. In the novels demonstrate the echo of ancient myths in his plost, using the mythical fable of the writer. We note that the narrative structures are compromised whit certain immutable and eternal principles that mediate the benchmark instances of the everyday and imaginary, mythological reprinting the prototypes into new configurations. This reprint Ana Miranda reflect on the paradisiacal landscape that suggests that this is just a mirage, which emerges most strongly denouncing a space before Hell than Heaven. The American Paradise, a constant in colonial tradition, it becomes a nightmare, at which Eden is remitized by the author, becoming a place to reverse this blissful garden. / Este trabalho procura investigar o mito do Paraíso Terrestre na literatura brasileira em dois momentos da literatura brasileira. Por um lado, percorremos a literatura de viagem e crônicas dos séculos XVI e XVII que construíram as imagens do Brasil como Paraíso Terrestre e, por outro, analisamos a revisão e a remitização deste mesmo mito revisitado pela romancista Ana Miranda no final do século XX. Para tal realização são importantes os trabalhos teóricos de Michel de Certeau e Hayden White que proporcionam um estudo das relações entre história e literatura, uma vez que o corpus do trabalho contempla, por um lado, relatos e crônicas e, por outro, as narrativas históricas da romancista. Para o estudo do conteúdo mítico-simbólico presente nos discursos destes autores são importantes as contribuições teóricas de Mircea Eliade, Joseph Campbell e Gilbert Durand. Para o estudo do mito do Paraíso Terrestre no período colonial foram utilizados os autores Sergio Buarque de Holanda e Laura de Mello e Souza, referências que sustentam a discussão teórica da tese. Como tarefa de crítica literária, o estudo pretende ser uma contribuição para compreensão da fortuna crítica da literatura de viagens e, também, da obra romanesca de Ana Miranda. Nos romances demonstramos o ressoar de mitos antigos em suas tramas, utilizando-se da fabulação mítica da escritora. Notamos que as estruturas narrativas estão comprometidas com certos princípios imutáveis e eternos que intermedeiam o referencial cotidiano e as instâncias do imaginário, reimprimindo nos protótipos mitológicos em novas configurações. Esta reimpressão em Ana Miranda se reflete na paisagem que sugere o paradisíaco em que este é apenas uma miragem, onde surge com maior força um espaço que denuncia antes o Inferno do que o Paraíso. O Paraíso americano, uma constante na tradição colonial, transforma-se em pesadelo, momento em que o Éden é remitizado pela autora, transformando-se num lugar às avessas deste jardim venturoso.

The subject of this diploma thesis was the research of vegetation at localities in the Protected Landscape Area Bohemian Paradise. There were choosen areas: Natural Monument Podloučky and Protected Area Fialník, where grows an orchid Gymnadenia conopsea subsp. montana. There were made 60 phytocenological samples, and described: biotop, altitude, slope, huminidy and exposure. There were found four orchid species in the localities. Phytocenological samples were compared with each other. It has been shown that differences between localities are greater than the differences between orchid and non-orchid samples. Significant differences were also found in comparing the coverage in the floor between locations and abundace of species in each floor.

The archipelago of Fernando de Noronha was listed by UNESCO as a mankind patrimony in 2001. Nowadays it is a famous touristic destination for travellers from all over the world in searching for wild landscapes. However, Fernando de Noronha has a long history. It was occupied by Europeans since the 16th century and, in these first moments, described as a sort of paradise. Since that, it has been cumulated different memories. In the 17th century, it was invaded by the Dutch that used the main island as an acclimation garden. In the 18th century it was occupied by the Portuguese. This is the time of the foundation of its most important urban settlement, the Vila dos Remˆdios, surrounded by fortifications. It was kept as a prison until the 20th century. Only in the last decades, it started to be, again, admired for its nature. Remains of the fortresses and a significant part of the old Vila dos Remˆdios reached the present days. However, listed for its natural beauty, the architectonical and urban patrimony of the archipelago has been kept in silence. This dissertation intends on the comprehension of the interference of the edenic mytography in the process of the exploration of America, in a way that the sailors, missionaries, colonists and in the present time the tourists, they did and they ve been doing the recognition of a landscape which has glimpsed from many medieval descriptions that attended the scenario of the Garden of Eden in a hopeful search for the lost paradise after the sin and the expulsion of Adam and Eve and the difficulties and the requirements to have access to it. / Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas / O arquipˆlago de Fernando de Noronha listado pela UNESCO como patrimŒnio Natural da humanidade em 2001 ˆ hoje em dia um dos famosos destinos turŠsticos para viajantes de todo o mundo em busca de paisagens selvagens . No entanto, Noronha acumula uma longa histƒria. Situado no rol das primeiras paisagens visitadas pelos europeus no contexto do sˆculo das Descobertas , pertence a um momento da histƒria no qual as terras americanas recˆm encontradas eram acolhidas pelo viajante como um territƒrio desconhecido, cuja interpreta€‚o muitas vezes era creditada ao discurso bŠblico, aventando-se inclusive a possibilidade de nele se situar o ParaŠso Terreal. No sˆculo XVII, foi invadido pelos Holandeses, os primeiros a efetivamente ocupar e povoar o arquipˆlago. No sˆculo XVIII, tendo retomado seu domŠnio, os portugueses definitivamente fortificaram e povoaram Fernando de Noronha, mantido como pris‚o atˆ o sˆculo XX. Nas ltimas dˆcadas, passou a ser, novamente, admirado por sua natureza. Restos de fortalezas e uma parte significativa da antiga Vila dos Remˆdios alcan€aram os dias atuais. No entanto, listado pela sua beleza natural, seu patrimŒnio arquitetŒnico e urbano foram mantidos em sil…ncio. Esta disserta€‚o busca compreender a interfer…ncia da mitografia ed…nica no processo de explora€‚o da Amˆrica e de que maneira, os nautas, missionŽrios, colonos e hoje, os turistas, fizeram e fazem em Fernando de Noronha o reconhecimento de uma paisagem, jŽ vislumbrada a partir das in meras descri€ es medievais, que tratavam dos cenŽrios do sonhado Jardim das DelŠcias, da esperan€osa busca pelo ParaŠso Terreal perdido apƒs o pecado e expuls‚o de Ad‚o e Eva e das dificuldades e exig…ncias para acessŽ-lo.
