Following the Revolution of 1959, the Cuban government implemented policy reforms geared towards increasing women's rights. Despite these efforts, however, sexism persists in Cuban society. This difference between rhetoric and reality is reflected in the song genre, nueva trova, which foregrounds a progressive agenda for women's rights but continues to marginalize their participation. Prominent nueva trova performers Silvio Rodríguez and Pablo Milanés advocate women's rights in their songs, but their music remains couched in patriarchal structures that prevent women from speaking for themselves. Sara González, one of the first prominent female nueva trova composers, was able to integrate into government-supported trova institutions by adopting a masculine, revolutionary aesthetic, which she then adapted to feminist themes to combat the ideological disparity. Recent performers have split between a more complacent attitude, found in novísima trova, or a direct challenge to the patriarchy centered on an aesthetic of contestation in rap cubano.

Chez les ruminants, l’Acidose Ruminale SubAiguë (ARSA) est une maladie d’origine nutritionnelle qui fait suite à une perturbation des fermentations microbiennes et à une acidité anormale du compartiment ruminal. L’installation chronique de ce dysfonctionnement digestif peut avoir une incidence néfaste sur l’efficacité de production et la santé des animaux. À l’échelle de l’individu ou du troupeau, elle aura pour conséquences des retombées économiques négatives pour l’éleveur. Un des problèmes majeurs de cette maladie est qu’elle ne se manifeste pas par des signes cliniques spécifiques. A l’heure actuelle, seul le pH ruminal permet d’objectiver la maladie même si aucun indicateur de pH ne fait l’unanimité, notamment du fait des variabilités importantes liées à la technique de mesure du pH d’une part et à la susceptibilité des animaux d’autre part. Dans ce contexte, cette thèse a eu pour objectif d’améliorer le diagnostic individuel de l’ARSA chez la vache laitière en développant une approche multiparamétrique applicable sur le terrain. Nous proposons de nouveaux indicateurs issus de cinétiques de pH mesuré de façon non-invasive avec des bolus intra-ruminaux. Ces nouveaux indicateurs relatifs, calculés quotidiennement sur les cinétiques normalisées sur 0 (NpH), sont le temps passé sous NpH <-0,3, l’écart type et l’amplitude. Ils permettent de pallier les fortes sources de variabilité et présentent l’intérêt d’être transposables entre études et sont plus précis pour caractériser l’ARSA. Parallèlement, nous avons développé des modèles multiparamétriques composés de plusieurs paramètres mesurés simultanément dans différents compartiments biologiques (lait, fèces, salive, sang, urine) ou sur l’animal (comportement). Leur capacité de prédiction de l’ARSA a ensuite été évaluée en élevage. Certains modèles incluant des paramètres périphériques au rumen et simples à mesurer sur le terrain présentent une bonne sensibilité (concentration en urée dans le lait, en bicarbonate dans le sang, pH salivaire), et d’autres ont une bonne spécificité (nombre de buvées de l’animal, pH fécal, concentration en urée dans le lait). Néanmoins, aucun modèle ne renferme un couple sensibilité et spécificité satisfaisant. A l’issue de ce travail nous proposons une stratégie diagnostique fondée sur 4 étapes : 1) l’analyse du contexte de diagnostic de l’ARSA, 2) l’évaluation des facteurs de risques, 3) l’évaluation des modèles multiparamétriques et 4) le calcul d’indicateurs NpH ruminaux des individus à risque. / In ruminants, subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is a nutritional disease that induces an abnormal acidity of the rumen compartment as well as disturbance in microbial fermentation. When the disease becomes chronic, it can lead to negative effects on production efficiency and animal health at the individual or the herd scales, with negative economic consequences for the farmer. One of the major problems of SARA is that there are no obvious clinical signs. Presently, the only benchmark to define SARA is rumen pH. However, no pH indicator is unanimous due to the important variability related both to the measurement technique itself and to the animal susceptibility. In this context, this thesis aimed to improve the individual diagnosis of SARA in dairy cows by developing a multiparametric approach that could be used on field. We propose new indicators of pH kinetics measured noninvasively with intra-ruminal boluses. These new relative indicators, calculated daily (kinetic normalised on 0, NpH), consist of the time spent under NpH < - 0.3, the NpH standard deviation and the NpH range. These indicators make it possible to overcome the strong sources of variability and have the advantage of being transposable while being more accurate to characterize SARA. At the same time, we have developed multiparametric models including a number of parameters measured simultaneously in various biological compartments (milk, faeces, saliva, blood, urine) or on animal behaviour. The models ability to predict SARA has been evaluated on field. Some models including rumen peripheral parameters (concentration of urea in milk, of bicarbonate in blood, salivary pH) have a proficient sensitivity while others have a proficient specificity (number of drinking acts, faecal pH, and urea concentration in milk). However, no model developed is both sensitive and specific enough. The diagnostic strategy we propose is based on 4 steps: 1) analysis of the SARA diagnostic context, 2) assessment of risk factors, 3) evaluation of multiparametric models and (4) determination of ruminal NpH indicators for individuals presenting a high risk of SARA.

I flickforskningen har en mängd flickgestalter undersökts. I denna uppsats studeras flickans konstruktion i relation till traditionella genuskonstruktioner och heteronormativitet. Mer specifikt utreds hur kropp och utseende, agerande samt sexualitet porträtteras och förhåller sig till flickskapet. Detta genom att jämföra två samtida ungdomsromaner: Mina smala axlars längtan (2017) av Maria Frensborg och Ingen normal står i regnet och sjunger (2016) av Sara Ohlsson. Metoden består utav en hermeneutisk och komparativ tolkning av romanerna. I analysen framkommer att flickskapen hos de båda karaktärerna ser olika ut, exempelvis hur de förhåller sig till femininitet och feminism, och att detta kan ses som en effekt av bland annat klass.

Esta pesquisa procurou inicialmente enfocar apenas um de seus aspectos: o corpo cigano enquanto uma construção social que, ao expressar-se, agencia memórias. No entanto, como nos ensina a poesia, não existem pré-caminhos. O caminho se faz ao caminhar. Ciganos, unidade complexa, mosaico étnico. Ritmos e imagens. Materialidade e significação. Assim, o corpo-memória foi abordado no complexo universo cigano. Os capítulos deste trabalho nasceram e cresceram em função dessa complexidade cigana que impossibilita a fragmentação. Neste contexto, o objeto central de análise, ao longo do percurso de estudo e pesquisa, deslocou-se para além do corpo-memória, fazendo-se necessário um aprofundamento do ethos1 cigano, suas histórias, memórias, crenças e em especial a sua crença maior: Sara Kali. Para tanto, buscou-se em uma constelação harmônica apresentar os Ciganos - livres de estereótipos (Primeiro Capítulo). Ciganos peregrinos que juntam as vozes, mesmo pertencentes a diferentes tribos: muitas vozes em uma única voz, muitos mundos, dentro de um mesmo mundo - o Mito de Sara Kali (Segundo Capítulo). E por fim, o que antes era o início: ciganos que escrevem e reescrevem o texto da própria existência, pela poesia e ritual da dança (Terceiro Capítulo). Incorporada à área da Antropologia Visual e movida pela intenção de fazer das imagens fotográficas e dos relatos de alguns atores sociais, objeto de reflexão e ponto de partida e de chegada de todo o processo de constituição da identidade cigana, este estudo objetivou demonstrar não somente os elementos culturais dos ciganos, que os aproximam ou os distanciam da cultura predominante, mas nos preocupamos em verificar como organizam suas memórias impressas em seus corpos, uma vez que, mesmo espalhados pelo mundo, apresentam-se como grupo com marcada identidade. / Abstract: To search the characteristics of gypsy culture is always an ambitious task since it brings a variety of meaning and possibilities for interpretation for it is considered exotic, artistic, religious, among other. This research, initially, sought to focus only one of its aspects: the gypsy body as a social construction which by expressing itself brings out memories. However, as poetry teaches us, there are no pre-paths... The path is to walk. Gypsies, a complex unit, ethnic mosaic. Rhythms and images. Materiality and meaning. Thus, the body-memory was addressed in the complex gypsy universe. The chapters of this work flourished and grew in the light of such complexity of the gypsy people that is completely impossible to be fragmented. In this context, the central object of analysis, along the route of study and research, went beyond the body-memory, making it necessary deepening the gipsy ethos [1}, their stories, memories, beliefs and in particular their greatest belief: Sara Kali. In order to achieve this, a harmonious constellation was blended in presenting the Gypsies - free of stereotypes (First Chapter). Gypsies pilgrims who gather their voices, even belonging to different tribes: many voices in one only voice, many worlds within the same world - the myth of Kali Sara (Second Chapter). At last, what was once the beginning: gypsies who write and rewrite the text of their own existence through the ritual of poetry and dance (Third Chapter). Incorporated into the area of Visual Anthropology and driven by the intention of making photographic images and reports of some social actors, the subject of reflection and point of departure and arrival of the whole process of formation of Roma identity, this study aimed to demonstrate not only the cultural elements of Roma, that can be nearer or farther from its own predominant culture, but we care to verify how they organize their memoirs printed in their bodies because, even around the world, they present themselves as a group with marked identity. / Doutorado / Doutor em Multimeios

O avanço da terapia intensiva na medicina veterinária vem permitindo a realização de um melhor suporte e monitorização dos animais com sepse grave. Esta é uma síndrome clínica caracterizada por alterações inflamatórias sistêmicas (SIRS) associadas a disfunções orgânicas, como, por exemplo, lesão pulmonar aguda (LPA) e síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo (SARA). No homem, esta síndrome resulta em uma significante taxa de mortalidade, porém, na medicina veterinária ainda faltam estudos sobre este assunto. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a ocorrência de complicações respiratórias em animais com sepse grave submetidos à terapia intensiva. Neste estudo foram incluídos 14 animais com sepse grave secundária à piometra. Durante o período de tratamento intensivo os pacientes foram monitorados por meio de: freqüências cardíaca e respiratória, pressão arterial sistólica, débito urinário, pressão venosa central, lactato, saturação venosa central de oxigênio, hemogasometria arterial e radiografias torácicas. Todos os animias (100%) apresentaram alterações respiratórias, destes três cadelas vieram a óbito (21,42%) e 11 (78,57%) receberam alta do tratamento intensivo.Os animais submetidos à terapia intensiva devido ao desenvolvimento de sepse grave secundária à piometra, necessitam de um acompanhamento radiográfico torácico diário, a fim de se estabelecer medidas de suporte respiratório adequadas e, consequentemente, obter menores taxas de mortalidade. / The advances in intensive care has allowed to offer better support to animals with severe sepsis. This is a clinical syndrome characterized by systemic inflammatory response associated with organic dysfunction, such as acute pulmonary injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In humans, this syndrome results in significant mortality, but, in veterinary medicine there are not many studies about this. The aim of this study was to evaluate the development the pulmonary complications in animals submitted to intensive care. In this study were included 14 animals with severe sepsis secondary to pyometra. During the period of intensive care the animals were evaluated: heart and respiratory rates, systolic blood pression, urine output, central venous pression lactate, lactate, central venous saturation, arterial hemogasometric and thoracic x-ray. All animals (100%) had abnormal breathing, three of these dogs eventually died (21.42%) and 11 (78.57%) out of intensive care. Animals with severe sepse secondary to pyometra underwent intensive therapy, requiring a chest radiographic daily in order to establish adequate respiratory support, and thus achieve lower mortality rates.
