Northrop Frye and the Tragedy of Identity in Moby-Dick

Lammers, David 08 1900 (has links)
The following discussion of Northrop Frye and Herman Melville is based on the theoretical framework outlined in Words With Power which emphasizes the "demonic" and "titanic" elements in the ascent and descent of the hero's quest. The study focusses upon Frye's archetype of the labyrinth and the Biblical typology which aids the critic in the task of literary interpretation. Frye claims that "anyone interested in both the Bible and literature will eventually find himself revolving around the Book of Job like a satellite" (Frye WP 310). Melville's MobyDick is "interested" in the Bible more than any other source; it revolves around the mysteries therein which condemn the "titanic" elements that appear to lead to the discovery of a "Knowledge" or "Wisdom" related to Original sin. Thus, Ahab is a Promethean figure whose challenge of the demonic categorization of this area of imagery in the Bible is inextricably related to Job's challenge of God and subsequent invocation of Leviathan. In an application of Frye's theory of the patterns of ascent and descent imagery outlined in Anatomy of Criticism, The Secular Scripture, and Words With Power, chapters 1 & 2 examine the purely "demonic" descent of the quest hero and its "positive analogies" in the myth of Narcissus. Chapter 3 discusses the "titanic" descent quest in relation to its "presiding deity" Prometheus (Ahab), and chapter 4 briefly addresses the images of ascent surrounding Ishmael at the end of the novel. Notably, each chapter also examines the relation of the quest to patterns of Leviathan symbolism which are also represented in the image of the whale. Finally, the Conclusion reconsiders the Biblical Leviathan and Job's vision of "primal creation" which Frye points to in his verbal universe or axis mundi imagery. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

Desarrollo de una solución tecnológica para la medición del área de un predio utilizando un Dron y procesamiento de imágenes en el proceso de fiscalización

De la Cruz Espinoza, Jorge Luis, Huachin Sairitupac, Gian Carlos January 2018 (has links)
Señala la implementación y el uso de drones en diversas aplicaciones como el transporte, fotografía, seguridad y entre otros. Una de sus principales ventajas es que puede ser controlado remotamente y acceder a lugares de difícil acceso para las personas, pero además de esto se le puede incorporar una gran gama de sensores, una de ellas es el sensor de altura con la cual podemos calibrar y procesar imágenes a una determinada distancia del suelo ya que también se puede adherir una cámara. Se presenta como alternativa de solución un sistema que reciba la altura e imágenes de un dron tomadas sobre el predio a medir para el cálculo del área que requiere el fiscalizador mediante el procesamiento de imágenes. Para el desarrollo e implementación de la solución tecnológica se utilizan tecnologías Open Source. / Tesis

Gestión de colaboraciones interinstitucionales de organizaciones culturales sin fines de lucro. Estudio de caso múltiple en Lima, Trujillo y Arequipa.

Yanac Hernández Rosa Pamela, Escalante Reyes Andrea Claudia, Herrera Castro Miguel Jesús January 2018 (has links)
El propósito de la presente investigación fue describir la forma en que las organizaciones sin fines de lucro culturales gestionan el proceso de colaboración con instituciones de los sectores empresarial, público y tercer sector identificando los beneficios y limitaciones que se generan para las primeras. La investigación se fundamentó en referencias teóricas acerca de la gestión de las organizaciones sin fines de lucro. Para ello, se adaptó el enfoque sobre gestión de colaboraciones intersectoriales propuesto por Austin (2000), el cual aborda sucesivamente las etapas de establecimiento de contacto inicial, ajuste estratégico, creación de valor y gestión de la colaboración. Este enfoque fue complementado con referencias de distintos autores (Drucker, 2004; Berger, Cunningham & Drumwright, 2004; Instituto de Comunicación y Desarrollo [ICD] de Uruguay, 2015; Schiller & Almog-Bar, 2013; AL-Tabbaa, Leach & March, 2014) que aportaron a la comprensión de las colaboraciones con instituciones de los tres sectores. A continuación, se presentó el contexto de las artes escénicas en el Perú. Se obtuvieron datos al 2013 en los que se identifica una oferta concentrada en la ciudad de Lima (31% de organizaciones) y una demanda limitada, pues el 76% de la población peruana reportó nunca haber asistido al teatro, porcentaje que se incrementa en relación a otros tipos de disciplinas dentro del sector. Así mismo, se identificó que, en los últimos seis años, la inversión del Estado en el sector cultura se ha mantenido por debajo del 1% del presupuesto nacional (cifra recomendada por la UNESCO). La hipótesis general que orienta la investigación plantea que la forma en que las asociaciones culturales gestionan sus colaboraciones es empírica y por ello no es posible la maximización de beneficios obtenidos de ellas. La metodología empleada tuvo un enfoque cualitativo y en total se realizaron 37 entrevistas a profundidad semi estructuradas. Se aplicaron 18 entrevistas a los directivos de seis asociaciones del rubro de las artes escénicas ubicadas en Lima, Trujillo y Arequipa, pues se diseñaron tres versiones de esta herramienta a fin de conocer sus características generales, profundizar en la gestión de colaboraciones y aspectos financieros. Adicionalmente, se entrevistaron a 16 aliados, representantes de organizaciones del sector empresarial, público y tercer sector; y a 3 expertos, profesionales del sector cultural. La información fue codificada en el programa ATLAS.ti 7 y los hallazgos se analizaron de dos formas: por etapas del proceso de gestión de colaboraciones y de manera comparativa por sector. / Tesis

No. of bitstreams: 1 AdrianoELA_parte_1.pdf: 5342352 bytes, checksum: 35f48621bd05114934351db649c74ff2 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-04-30 / Acid rain is a major assault on the environment, a consequence of burning fossil fuels and industrial pollutants the basis of sulfur dioxide released into the atmosphere. The objective of this research was to monitor and analyze changes in water quality of rain in the city of Natal, seeking to investigate the influence of quality on a local, regional and global, in addition to possible effects of this quality in the local landscape. Data collection was performed from December 2005 to December 2007. We used techniques of nefan?lise in identifying systems sin?ticos, field research in the search for possible effects of acid rain on the landscape, and collect and analyze data of precipitation and its degree of acidity. Used descriptive statistics (standard deviation and coefficient of variation) used to monitor the behavior of chemical precipitation, and monitoring of errors in measurements of pH, level of confidence, Normalized distribution of Gauss, confidence intervals, analysis of variance ANOVA were also used. Main results presented as a variation of pH between 5,021 and 6,836, with an average standard deviation of 5,958 and 0,402, showing that the average may represent the sample. Thus, we can infer that, according to the CONAMA Resolution 357 (the index for fresh water acidity should be between 6.0 and 9.0), the precipitation of Natal / RN is slightly acidic. It appears that the intertropical convergence zone figures showed the most acidic among the systems analyzed sin?ticos, taking its average value of pH of 5,617, which means an acid value now, with a standard deviation of 0,235 and the coefficient of variation of 4,183% which shows that the average may represent the sample. Already in field research and found several places that suffer strongly the action of acid rain. However, the results are original and need further investigation, including the use of new methodologies / As chuvas ?cidas s?o uma das principais agress?es ao meio ambiente, conseq??ncia da queima de combust?veis f?sseis e de poluentes industriais a base de di?xido de enxofre lan?ados na atmosfera. O objetivo da pesquisa foi monitorar e analisar a varia??o da qualidade da ?gua de chuva na cidade de Natal, procurando investigar a influ?ncia dessa qualidade nas escalas local, regional e global, al?m de procurar poss?veis efeitos dessa qualidade na paisagem local. A coleta de dados foi feita no per?odo de dezembro de 2005 a dezembro de 2007. Utilizou-se de t?cnicas de nefan?lise na identifica??o de sistemas sin?ticos, pesquisa de campo na procura de poss?veis efeitos na paisagem da chuva ?cida, al?m de coleta e analise de dados de precipita??o e seu grau de acidez. Estat?stica descritiva utilizada (desvio padr?o e coeficiente de varia??o) serviu para monitorar o comportamento qu?mico da precipita??o, al?m do monitoramento dos erros nas medi??es de pH, n?vel de confian?a, distribui??o de Gauss Normalizada, intervalo de confian?a, An?lise de Vari?ncia ANOVA foram tamb?m utilizadas. Apresenta como principais resultados uma varia??o de pH entre 5,021 e 6,836, com uma m?dia de 5,958 e desvio padr?o de 0,402, demonstrando que a m?dia pode representar a amostra. Assim, pode-se inferir que, segundo a Resolu??o do CONAMA 357 (?guas doces o ?ndice de acidez dever? ficar entre 6,0 e 9,0), a precipita??o de Natal/RN ? pouco ?cida. Constata-se que a Zona de Converg?ncia Intertropical apresentou os valores mais ?cidos entre os sistemas sin?ticos analisados, tendo em sua m?dia o valor de pH de 5,617, o que significa um valor j? ?cido, com um desvio padr?o de 0,235 e com o coeficiente de varia??o de 4,183% o que demonstra que a m?dia pode representar a amostra. J? na pesquisa de campo, foram localizados v?rios locais que sofrem fortemente a a??o da chuva ?cida. Contudo, os resultados s?o iniciais e necessitam de maiores investiga??es, inclusive com o uso de novas metodologias

Aplicación de last planner en edificaciones multifamiliares

Hinostroza Gutiérrez, Diego Alberto, Manosalva Montesinos, Oscar Omar January 2015 (has links)
A través del programa Maestro (programación macro), se analizará el proceso de planificación Intermedia o Look ahead Planning, sucedido por el plan de trabajo semanal y diario. La planificación intermedia (proceso Look ahead) es una expansión del programa maestro, que genera un programa de trabajo que, pensamos, puede ser ejecutado usando información del estado actual del proyecto y pronósticos sobre la disponibilidad de recursos. Como se sabe, el programa Maestro cubre todas las actividades del proyecto, desde el comienzo hasta el término del mismo. En cambio, la planificación Look ahead abarca intervalos de sólo 4 a 8 semanas, según la complejidad del proyecto, en el futuro con relación a la fecha de la planificación porque la incertidumbre sobre lo que vendrá después deja sin sentido un mayor detalle. El plan de trabajo semanal es la planificación que presenta el mayor nivel de detalle antes de realizar una actividad. Escoger qué trabajo será ejecutado en la próxima semana desde lo que sabemos puede ser hecho, recibe el nombre de asignaciones de calidad. Sólo asignaciones de calidad pueden entrar en un inventario de trabajo ejecutable y posteriormente al plan de trabajo semanal, lo que protege el flujo de producción de incertidumbres, lo que apunta a crear un flujo confiable de trabajo. Para ello se tomó como estudio el edificio multifamiliar las Dalias, donde se explica detalladamente la aplicación de look ahead de la semana 19 donde se realizó el vaciado de losa del sótano 2 y se detalla el análisis de programación semanal con sus posibles restricciones y recursos para poder resolverlas, demostrando con ello que aplicando el Last Planner se maximiza la producción y se minimizan los costos. Through the Master program (macro programming), the mid-term planning or Look ahead Planning, succeeded by the weekly plan and daily work will be analyzed. The intermediate planning (Look ahead process) is an expansion of master program, which generates a work program that we think can be executed using information of the current project status and forecasts on the availability of resources. As is known, the Master program covers all activities of the project from the beginning to the end of it. However, planning ahead Look intervals covers only 4-8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project in the future in relation to the planning date because uncertainty about what comes next makes it meaningless greater detail. The weekly work plan is the planning that has the highest level of detail before an activity. Choose what work will be executed in the next week from what we know can be done, is called quality assignments. Only quality assignments can enter an inventory of executable work and then to plan weekly work, protecting the flow of production uncertainties, which aims to create a reliable workflow. For this study was taken as the multifamily building Dahlias, which explains in detail the implementation of look ahead to week 19 where the drain basement slab 2 was performed and analysis of weekly programming with the possible restrictions and resources for detailed to resolve them, demonstrating that applying the Last Planner maximizing production and minimizing cost.

Englund, Adam January 2019 (has links)
This master thesis deals with the Chinese counterinsurgency strategy in Xinjiang with particular attention paid to current situation and latest development. The studied phenomenon is explored using the "Three Pillars" framework authored by the counterinsurgency theorist David Kilcullen. The study concisely presents the concept of insurgency and counterinsurgency with special prominence given to counterinsurgency led by autocratic regimes. The thesis also presents the reader with a comprehensive of Xinjiang's geographic conditions as well as its historical and demographic development. By using the abovementioned framework, the thesis identifies basic characteristics of Chinese counterinsurgency strategy.

Is hearing the gospel necessary for salvation? : an historical and biblical study with special reference to infants

Hakes, Stephen Harold 11 1900 (has links)
I have outlined some objections to soteriologies that presume that only some are given a chance of eternal life. Such soteriologies can include or exclude those mentally competent but lacking human evangelisation. Fundamental to evaluating soteriologies I have looked at both what sin is (being and doing) and what salvation consists in, as regards divine and human interaction. On the one side I have considered God's goodness - would such a being act unethically regarding man's eternity? On the other hand I have looked at whether, and if so in what way, man is required to respond - in what way or ways is chance (if at all) given. Finally I have considered views about those who die in infancy. Here I have tentatively suggested my own theory which seeks to presume that before death every human being may choose to accept of reject God, a choice integral (I suggest) to salvation. / Department of Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / M.

Ingénierie de contrainte dans des cavités germanium : vers une application de laser intégré sur silicium / Strain engineering of germanium cavities : towards an integrated laser on silicon

Ghrib, Abdelhamid 08 December 2014 (has links)
Le germanium dopé n et contraint en tension est un candidat potentiel pour démontrer un laser sur silicium compatible avec un environnement CMOS. Dans ce travail de thèse, j’ai d’abord développé un formalisme qui permet de calculer le gain optique en fonction de la déformation en tension, du dopage n et de l’injection des porteurs. Une technique de transfert de déformation via le dépôt de couche contrainte de SiN a été optimisée. J’ai réalisé plusieurs types de cavités germanium contraintes sous forme de guides d’onde et de microdisques. Le transfert de déformation a été optimisé par sous-gravure et par une méthode de bi-encapsulation qui a permis d’aboutir à une déformation biaxiale homogène et élevée de l’ordre de 1.5%. L’évaluation des déformations a été confrontée à des simulations par éléments finis, photoluminescence et spectroscopie Raman. L’étude expérimentale et théorique des guides d’onde a montré l’avantage de la direction <100> par rapport à la direction <110> permettant une injection plus efficace de porteurs en centre de zone. L’étude expérimentale des microdisques a permis d’observer des modes de galerie avec un facteur de qualité Q = 1540 à λ = 1940 nm. D’autre part, j’ai mis en évidence par photoluminescence la présence d’un fort dopage de 4×10¹⁹ cm⁻³ dans des couches germanium sur silicium épitaxiées par épitaxie par jets moléculaires utilisant une technique de co-dopage. Une modélisation du gain modal a permis de mettre en exergue l’effet du gradient de déformation dans le volume de la cavité. L’élargissement homogène a été introduit dans la modélisation du gain optique afin de prendre en compte l’impact d’un dopage élevé. / Tensile strained and n-doped germanium is a potential candidate to demonstrate a laser on silicon in a CMOS-compatible environment. In this thesis, I developed a formalism to calculate the optical gain as a function of tensile strain, n-doping and carrier injection. A tensile strain transfer technique via strained SiN layer deposition has been optimized. I realized several types of strained germanium cavities. Tensile strain transfer was optimized by under-etching and a bi-encapsulation technique which allowed to achieve a high and uniform biaxial strain up to 1.5%. The evaluation of strain level was faced with finite elements modeling, photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy. The experimental and theoretical study of the waveguides showed the advantage of the <100> direction as compared with the <110> direction for more efficient carrier injection at zone center. The experimental study of microdisks allowed us to observe gallery modes with quality factor up to Q = 1540 at λ= 1940 nm. On the other hand, photoluminescence enhancement has shown the presence of a heavy doping of 4×10¹⁹ cm⁻³ in germanium on silicon layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy and using a co-doping technique. Modeling the modal gain helped to emphasize the effect of the strain gradient in the cavity volume. The homogeneous broadening was introduced in the optical gain modeling to take into account the impact of a high doping.
