Durante os anos 1970, a partir da interpretação da teologia da libertação, D. Pedro Casaldáliga, bispo da Prelazia, surge como figura central das tensões políticas entre a chamada Igreja Popular e a Ditadura Militar, por ocasião da implementação dos grandes latifúndios agro-pecuários no norte do Mato Grosso. A centralidade da idéia de profetismo foi crucial para a atuação de Casaldáliga e o seu projeto político-pastoral na região. Organizada em torno da identidade profética as narrativas de memória/história sobre a Prelazia e o bispo construíram uma cultura católica da libertação em todos os âmbitos da prática religiosa. As contradições e limites da identidade profética da Prelazia e, por fim, a conformação dessa identidade profética diante da mudança do cenário político-social em São Félix do Araguaia nas décadas de 1980 e 1990 são os assuntos abordados aqui / Abstract: This dissertation on Cultural History is a study about the religious signification process occurred in São Félix do Araguaia. During 1970 years, by liberation theology criteria, D. Pedro Casaldáliga, Prelacy bishop¿s, appears like a central figure in the middle of political tension between the called Popular Church and Military Dictatorship, in the moment of large state implementation in the north of Mato Grosso state. The prophecy idea was crucial for Casaldáliga¿s actuation and for his political-pastoral project in the region. Organized around prophetic identity, the memories-histories narratives about the Prelacy and Casaldáliga forged a catholic culture of liberation on various scopes of religious practices. The contradictions and limits of Prelacy¿s prophetic identity and, at the end, the conformation of this prophetic identity up against the change of political-social context in São Félix do Araguaia in the 1980 and 1990 decades are the matters dialed here / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História

El presente trabajo de investigación trata de la influencia de la inclinación de pozas disipadoras en la pérdida de energía en ríos de alta pendiente. Para ello, se tomó como caso de estudio la bocatoma San Pedro (Ayacucho, Perú). Se presenta el modelamiento numérico de la bocatoma en el software de dinámica de fluidos computacional, IBER, con el fin de obtener resultados hidráulicos en la estructura: tirante, velocidad, energía, Froude y tensión de fondo. El principal objetivo es mejorar la eficiencia del funcionamiento de las pozas disipadoras en ríos de alta pendiente. Asimismo, conocer las características hidráulicas del río San Pedro, que representa un flujo de alta pendiente. La metodología empleada fue la recoilación de información del caso de estudio, la cual fue validada con los resultados de los modelamientos en los programas HEC-RAS e IBER. Del mismo modo, se diseñaron 5 bocatomas con pozas disipadoras de distintas pendientes: 0%, 1.52%, 3.04%, 4.56% y 6.08%. Se modelaron en el software IBER y se exportaron los resultados a Excel. Estos modelos numéricos fueron validados mediante el Análisis de Sensibilidad. En consecuencia, se compararon los valores de energía aguas abajo de las distintas pozas propuestas. Finalmente, con los resultados del estudio se concluye que la poza disipadora de 3.04% es la más apropiada para el río San Pedro, pues pierde un 30% de energía más con respecto a la poza horizontal y reduce la velocidad en 4.9% en comparación a la poza de inclinación de 6.08%. / This research work deals with the influence stilling basin slope on energy loss in high slope rivers. Taking as a case study the water intake San Pedro (Ayacucho, Peru). Numerical modeling of water intake is presented in computational fluid dynamics software, IBER, in order to obtain the hydraulic results in the structure: hydraulic depth, velocity, energy, Froude and shear stress. The main objective is to improve efficiency of stilling basins operation in rivers with high slope. Also, know the hydraulic characteristics of the San Pedro River, which represents a high slope river. The methodology used was the collection of case study information, was validated with the results of modeling in the HEC-RAS and IBER programs. Similarly, five dissipation basins of different slopes were modeled: 0%, 1.52%, 3.04%, 4.56% and 6.08%. They were modeled in IBER software, and the results were exported to Excel. These numerical models were validated by Sensitivity Analysis. Consequently, the downstream energy values of the different proposed stilling basins were compared. Finally, the results of the study conclude that the 3.04% slope dissipative basin is the most appropriate for the San Pedro river, as it loses 30% more energy than the horizontal basin and reduces the velocity by 4.9% compared to the 6.08% inclined basin. This proposed stilling basins will feature an alphaizer on the End of the breakwater that will be calculated with Peterka's monograph shown in the bibliography. / Tesis

In 1521 a band of several hundred Spaniards overthrew the Aztec empire in Mexico and its ruler, Moctezuma II. This defeat in itself created a major cultural shock for the indigenious population, but the later arrival of Spanish officials and colonists constituted a far greater if less dramatic upheaval. For the victorious Spaniards rejected Aztec governmental institutions, considering them to be distinctly inferior, and quickly substituted their own. Moctezuma II and a substantial number of the Aztec ruling class had died during the violence which accompanied the conquest and those who remained were not permitted to exercise leadership. It was, however, the stated policy of the Spanish Crown that the Indian population of New Spain should be treated with kindness, allowed to retain their property, and led gently toward acceptance of the Christian faith. Among the surviving members of the Aztec nobility were several of the emperor's children, to whom Spanish authorities accorded special attention because of their unique position. Moctezuma II's son, Tlacahuepan, who on his conversion was baptized Pedro de Moctezuma, was one who received special grants and favors, for it was the Crown's intention that members of the emperor's family should be treated with consideration and be provided with the means to live in a fashion suitable to their aristocratic lineage. But during the years following the conquest, forces within the Spanish government and the Spanish and Indian communities came together to frustrate this purpose. Don Pedro and his descendents were very much aware of and prepared to exploit the unusual position their heritage gave them. They believed that the Crown had made promises to them of perpetual income and honors which were unfulfilled and they were prepared to continue their attempts to gain these prizes. The Crown rewarded their persistence with repeated orders to colonial authorities to pay the income owed, but frequently these commands were not answered. As Spanish income from New Spain declined and the quality of government in Spain and the colonies deteriorated, the possibilities that the Moctezuma family might prosper as earlier Spanish governments had decreed they should disappeared. And, at last, it became apparent that the essential inertia which permeated all levels of colonial administration combined with the chasm which existed between the edicts issued from Spain and their effective application in the New World were factors against which no one family could contend successfully.

Ernesto est avant tout un roman initiatique qui se déroule dans un contexte historique, celui de la révolution mexicaine au début du XXème siècle. Il évoque une époque difficile en invitant le lecteur à suivre la vie d'une famille vivant dans les montagnes du Jalisco. En ces temps de guerre civile, la religion devint un flambeau pour de nombreux opprimés et leur engagement en son nom les poussa à se battre jusqu'à la mort pour leur salut. La mort est donc omniprésente tout au long du roman. Au-delà d'un simple message de fatalité implicite, elle s'impose aux protagonistes comme une entité propre et incontournable. Ainsi, comme dans Pedro Parâmo de Juan Rulfo ou dans Le soleil des Scorta de Laurent Gaudé, la mort se nourrit de la fiction afin de mieux s'incarner. L'analyse de ces deux romans met en évidence la place de la mort dans la création littéraire et établit un lien direct avec le présent roman.

Cette étude propose l’analyse de représentations queer dans le cinéma des années 2000. Plus précisément, elle porte sur la façon dont l’abus sexuel au masculin est représenté dans deux films produits en 2004, soit La mauvaise éducation (La mala educación), du réalisateur espagnol Pedro Almodovar, et Mysterious Skin, du réalisateur étatsunien Gregg Araki. À l’aide de la réflexion contenue dans Ça arrive aussi aux garçons : l’abus sexuel au masculin du sociologue Michel Dorais, l’objectif vise à démontrer comment cet événement traumatique influence de manière significative la construction identitaire et sexuelle des personnages principaux. De manière plus générale, ce mémoire positionne ces deux réalisateurs dans la grande et riche lignée du cinéma queer, qui met en scène des désirs hors norme et des identités sexuelles alternatives. Le premier chapitre porte sur les théories queer et ses diverses manifestations au grand écran. Il permet par la suite de réunir Almódovar et Araki dans une même étude et de souligner la pertinence de cette réunion. Le deuxième chapitre s’intéresse, à l’aide d’analyses d’extraits significatifs des films, à la façon dont chacun met en scène l’abus sexuel au masculin et comment cet événement se présente dans la vie des protagonistes. Le dernier chapitre se penche sur la construction identitaire et sexuelle des personnages principaux, afin de mieux comprendre l’incidence de l’abus sexuel. Jumelée aux travaux de Judith Butler, l’approche queer sera donc mise de l’avant dans cette étude qui se montre d’emblée attentive, d’un point de vue cinématographique, aux notions de sexe, de genre et de désir, et ce, à travers l’analyse de plusieurs extraits filmiques et d’éléments à la fois narratifs et structurels particulièrement significatifs quant à la représentation de l’abus sexuel au masculin. / This study proposes to analyze queer cinema representations in the 2000s. It focuses on how the male sexual abuse is shown in two films released in 2004, Bad Education (La mala educación), from the Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, and Mysterious Skin, from the American director Gregg Araki. Applying ideas from sociologist Michel Dorais, in his 1997 book, Ça arrive aussi aux garçons: l’abus sexuel au masculin, we aim to show how this event significantly influences the identity and the sexual construction of the films’ main characters. More generally, this study places these two directors in the large and rich tradition of queer cinema, which focuses on unconventional desires and sexual identities. The first chapter deals specifically with queer theory main ideas and its various manifestations in cinema, which allows us to bring Almodóvar and Araki together in one study and to emphasize the relevance of this reunion. The second chapter focuses on significant scenes from the movies that show how each director presents male sexual abuse and how this event reflects on the lives of the protagonists. Finally, the last chapter analyses problems of identity and sexual construction in the main characters, to see how sexual abuse has affected them. Coupled with the work of Judith Butler, the queer approach in film studies is therefore adapted in this thesis, in order to emphasize the importance of concepts like genre, sexuality, and the manifestations of desire through the analysis of several scenes from the corpus. Therefore, particularly significant narrative and structural elements, as regards to the representation of male sexual abuse in cinema, will be studied

In comparison to normally developing children, many children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) do not possess the same opportunities to be physically active due to the impairments exhibited by their disorder. A systematic review using the Downs and Black checklist and the PEDro scale was conducted to assess the methodological quality of the literature on promoting physical activity in children with ASD. The following inclusion criteria had to be met: (1) subjects must include children with a clinical ASD diagnosis (2) the children have to be under the age of thirteen years old (3) the interventions must target physical activity; lastly, (4) they must be a relevant peer-reviewed English language study. The search was conducted using four electronic databases: MEDLINE, ERIC, PsycInfo, and CINHL with no restriction on the publication year. The following keywords were utilized: "Autism", "ASD/ Autism Spectrum Disorder", "Asperger", "Pervasive Developmental Disorder" Those terms were paired with "physical activity", "physical exercise", "exercise", "fitness", "aerobic", "swim", "aquatic", "jog", "walk", "recreational activity" Which were also paired with the terms "school age", "child", "toddler", "preadolescent". This multi-step search procedure occurred during February 2013. The methodological quality of six studies was evaluated in February 2013. Overall, the conclusive scores determined by the Downs and and Black checklist and the PEDro scale varied greatly. The scores reported by the Downs and Black checklist ranged from 19 to 21 on a 27-point scale. PEDro scale yielded scores ranging between two and six on a 10-point scale. A vote count revealed that the exercise interventions increased the physical fitness, aquatic skills, social behaviors, and sensory integration children with ASD. In summary, the variation within the scores and the quality of the studies leads to a demand for future research.; In order to adequately determine what exercise interventions effectively increase physical activity in children with ASD, future researchers should conduct randomized controlled trials in order to produce the highest quality of evidence.

La presente tesis consiste en la elaboración de una edición crítica preliminar de la tragedia calderoniana Las tres justicias en una, dada la falta de una edición crítica según los criterios actuales. El primer capítulo se centra en el estudio literario de la comedia, abordando cuestiones como su datación y el debate en torno a su posible composición en colaboración. Asimismo, se examina su pertenencia al género trágico en el marco de la comedia nueva española, y sus principales representaciones y traducciones en los siglos subsiguientes. También se investigan las posibles fuentes utilizadas por Calderón para su composición. El segundo capítulo, por su parte, está dedicado al estudio de la transmisión textual de la comedia. Mediante el cotejo de los testimonios más significativos y el análisis de sus variantes, se determina que el testimonio de Escogidas (E) es el más cercano al arquetipo, que existen dos subarquetipos perdidos y que el testimonio de Vera Tassis presenta una contaminación de E. Por último, en base al stemma obtenido del estudio textual, se presenta en el tercer capítulo la edición crítica de los primeros 166 versos de la comedia, enriquecida con anotaciones lingüísticas y comentarios críticos para su mejor comprensión.

This dissertation examines the bildungsroman genre in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. A close examination of the development of this genre demonstrates that it has ideological implications that link the young protagonists’ development with that of the nation. The authors on whom I focus—Ángela Hernández, Rita Indiana Hernández, René Marqués, Pedro Juan Soto, Magali García Ramis, Severo Sarduy, and Jesús Díaz—do not merely imitate the European model but revise, adapt, and often subvert it thematically and, in some cases, aesthetically. I argue that these bildungsromane differ, for the most part, from the European prototype due to their openly political themes, such as the establishment of the Estado Libre Asociado in Puerto Rico, the 1959 Revolution in Cuba, and, in the case of the Dominican Republic, Trujillo’s dictatorship. I claim that Dominican bildungsromane do not propose national projects or models but rather question the purported homogeneity of identity of the country as a normalized political body. On the other hand, in Cuba and Puerto Rico the genre has been used to promote absolute discourses of nationality as well as political projects that must be questioned due to their discriminatory and sometimes racist and violent nature.
