The tympanum of the Porte-de-Ste-Anne at Notre-Dame, Paris, has aroused the interest of scholars for decades. The lack of inscription or documentation has led to the ascription of various identities to the figures depicted in company with the Theotokos. Apart from assigning it a donative or commemorative function, little light has been shed on the subject by the many extant theories. To further complicate the problem, the physical composition of the portal has only recently been deciphered. It is the consensus of current opinion that the portal, erected from the ground up, was begun as early as 1140-45. Also, the earliest sculptural components, the tympanum, upper lintel, archivolts and jamb-statues are thought to have been created for the refurbishment of the older church prior to the current building, although they may never have been used. This thesis has attempted to demonstrate the tympanum scene actually depicts the equality of regnum and sacerdotium in an accord brought about by a balance of forces, both political and theological, which produced the Ideal State. I have been concerned with an examination of the twelfth century events which could have exerted an influence on the development of the iconographical program. In so doing, I have outlined the pertinent historical background of the building itself, including a description of the portal and its sculptures, as well as a short discussion of the main theories regarding its place within the stylistic orbit of Early Gothic development. I have described the problem of the iconography which, until recently has consisted mainly of efforts to identify the figures of king, cleric and scribe, but of late has dealt with the relationship of regnum and sacerdotium. In this context the work of Adolf Katzenellenbogen on the west front of Chartres has shed light on the portal, and his relating of the tympanum scene to the ideal relationship between the two spheres was further expanded upon by Walter Cahn. He saw in the tympanum a demonstration of the status of the royal and ecclesiastical sectors of the Christian Commonwealth during this period with power vested in the Church. The opinions of Jacques Thirion who proposes very early dates and identities agree with those of Alain Erlande-Brandenberg and Cesare Gnudi who dealt with the portal after the discovery of facade fragments in Paris in 1977. The historical setting dealt with the Capetian rulers in the person of Louis VII, and the papacy in the person of Alexander III, both of whom were in power when the portal was conceived. The pope was a central figure in events that included the first compilation of Canon law by Gratian, a development as central to this thesis as it was to Cahn's. Space has been devoted to a discussion of the Decretum, to its expression of the Ideal State, and to the iconography which arose around illustrated copies of this work, particularly as it relates to the tympanum. Also explained was Gratian's connection to the Reform Party of Haimeric. An examination of some of the symbols chosen by Cahn from the composition to support his theory has determined that they may be reinterpreted. They have been expanded on or refuted in order to illustrate the flexibility of Medieval symbolism, and in order to reveal the many levels of imagery contained in this composition. While so doing, I have I believe, exposed the propagandistic nature of the surface imagery which was deliberately cultivated by the Church with full co-operation from the State in order to expound a politico-theological reality. / Arts, Faculty of / Art History, Visual Art and Theory, Department of / Graduate

Between 1821 and 1871, evangelical missionaries representing the dominant Protestant and Catholic churches, ventured to Sault Ste. Marie. They came to proselytize and 'civilize' the Anishinabeg community living in the borderlands of British North America and the United States. Within the Sault region, the Anishinabeg, as well as Baptist, Anglican, Methodist, Catholic, and Presbyterian ministers, interacted in a multiplicity of ways which led to the development of different understandings concerning both conversion and Christianity. / To contextualize the multiplicity of interactions within the context of the borderlands, this dissertation delves into the local history of the American and Canadian Sault villages, Indian policies, and missions before discussing the processes of translation, conversion, and participant interactions. After establishing the historical context of the Sault region, this study focuses on the role of women and cultural intermediaries employed in spreading Christianity. In particular, their roles, lives, actions, and opinions concerning the processes of missionization are explored. Finally, in examining conversion, this dissertation addresses both missionary and Anishinabeg understandings while avoiding the pitfalls of success/failure dichotomy. / This study demonstrates that the Sault-region Anishinabeg, while nominally Christian by the mid-nineteenth century, perceived their conversions and Christianity from within their cultural framework. Additionally, the cultural intermediaries often neglected in mission studies, played a pivotal role in presenting the Christian message to potential converts. Women, whether Native or non-Native, likewise performed a variety of tasks at the missions which must be considered when examining the multiplicity of interactions between proselytizer and proselyte. The nature of the border region allowed the Anishinabeg to retain a sense of independence in action and thought which is reflected in the processes of Christianization until the 1870s. Taken together, the multiplicity of observers, participants, translations, understandings, interpretations, and conversions can be aptly described as a whirlwind where the disconnected became connected. However one views these multiplicities, the processes at work can only be glimpsed as snapshots of understanding.

The Jasper Hiemstra limestone quarry outside of Delta, Iowa, preserves an aquatic and terrestrial fauna from the Late Mississippian of Midwestern North America. Stratigraphic and paleontological data demonstrate that the quarry correlates with the Ste. Genevieve Formation, approximately 330 million years (Ma) ago. The site formed in a karst terrain with at most minor marine influence. Numerous invertebrate and as-yet undefined vertebrate taxa are preserved. Three new vertebrate taxa are described here for the first time. Eustreptogyracanthus iaspius is a gyracanth gnathostome that possesses unique sculpturing on the pectoral fins. It is associated with scales and elements of the pectoral girdle, similar to those seen elsewhere in the group. Floydus punicellus is a rhizodontid sarcopterygian that possesses a partially ossified brain case, enlarged pelvis, sculptured underside to the postparietals and anteroposterior lateral line enervation of the postparietals and supratemporals. Aliuslater inmuri is an actinopterygian that possesses an unusual upper jaw. Previous workers have found evidence for a consistant tetrapod province around the world over a period of time that includes the Hiemstra Quarry's deposition, but the present analysis does not find strong support for this hypothesis.

The vast majority of children with cerebral palsy (CP) are surviving into adulthood due to improved surgical and health care practice. Thus, the expiration of paediatric services means that a new population of adults with CP has emerged that must transition into an ill-equipped adultoriented system. Informed by the perspective of complexity theory, this case study used both quantitative and qualitative data to examine the primary healthcare transition of youth with CP living in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Analysis of Ontario Health Insurance Program claims showed service use changes due to both the expiration of paediatric services and the changing health needs of individuals with CP as they age. Physicians commented on challenges due to the complexity of the CP disease process and the benefits of shared care and teamwork in discussing transition. Future research and clinical practice designed to address transition barriers need to be informed by complexity theory.

A pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir de um passeio histórico-teórico, com reflexões sobre a fisicalidade e percepção espacial, o espaço cenográfico, as mudanças históricas ocorridas no espaço da representação e um panorama da estética naturalista e de seus principais encenadores, tendo em vista as conexões estéticas com a montagem em foco. A base de reflexão são os sete aspectos de uma produção integrada de construção e montagem da cenografia, defendidos por Pamela Howard, além do suporte teórico de estudiosos e exegetas, a exemplo de Pavis, Ubersfeld, Berthold, Roubine e Almeida Prado. Apoiando-se nos esboços e desenhos elaborados para a montagem, a metodologia também contempla entrevistas com a equipe técnica, associadas às observações do pesquisador, que exerceu a função de assistente da cenografia. Ao final, descreve-se e analisa-se o processo cenográfico, levando-se em conta os sete aspectos postulados por Howard. O objetivo é contribuir para um melhor entendimento dos mecanismos e dos procedimentos utilizados pelos cenógrafos, a partir da análise, considerações e questionamentos sobre o complexo processo cooperativo da montagem em estudo. / This study analyses the creative process of design and construction of the Henrik Ibsen´s Hedda Gabler, produced by the Companhia de Teatro da UFBA, in 1996, directed by Harildo Déda and designed by Ewald Hackler. The research was developed from a historical, theoretical trip, reflecting the physicality and space perception, the historical changes occurred in the performance and through a panorama of naturalistic esthetics and its main designers. The reflective bases and the seven aspects defended by Pamela Howard, and the theoretical support of scholars like Pavis, Ubersfeld, Berthold, Roubine and Almeida Prado. Relying on sketches and drawings elaborated for the production, the method also contemplates interviews with the technical crew, associated to the observation of the researcher, who was assistant set design. At the end the process is described and analyzed, in account Howard’s seven aspects. The objective is to contribute for a better understanding of the mechanisms and processes used by set-designers from the analyses, considerations and questionings on the complex cooperative process of the production in view.

Intrínseco a indústria frigorífica está a geração de efluente, que precisa ser tratado antes da sua disposição no solo ou em corpos d’água. Lagoas de estabilização constitui o principal tipo de tratamento de efluente presente em frigoríficos no Estado. Este tipo de tratamento gera um resíduo semissólido denominado lodo. Este subproduto pode ser rico em nutrientes tornando-o um material que é denominado biossólido. Entretanto, para receber tal denominação o lodo de lagoas de estabilização deve apresentar características químicas e biológicas compatíveis com sua utilização. Estas características são também relevantes quanto à patogenicidade. No Brasil, a Resolução CONAMA 375/2006 estabelece parâmetros de concentração de microrganismos para utilização de lodo gerado em sistemas de tratamento de efluentes como fonte de nutrientes para o solo. Em Várzea Grande – MT um complexo de Indústrias Frigoríficas, instalado desde o fim dos anos 70, destinou seus efluentes gerados a um sistema de tratamento de efluentes composto por lagoas de estabilização contendo duas lagoas anaeróbias, uma lagoa facultativa e uma lagoa de maturação. Em janeiro de 2012 este tratamento de efluentes foi desativado e substituído por outro em outra área, o lodo presente no sistema foi reunido nas duas lagoas aeróbias objetivando sua estabilização, desidratação e inertização de patógenos. Diante deste contexto, este trabalho avaliou quali-quantitativamente o lodo acumulado das lagoas de estabilização do complexo de indústrias com vistas à disposição final no solo. Para tal, foram realizados dois estudos de batimetria, um em outubro de 2012 e outro em janeiro de 2014, a determinação das variáveis físico-químicas de SST, pH, DBO, Nitrogênio e Fósforo e a determinação das concentrações de Ovos de Helmintos, Coliformes Termotolerantes e Salmonellas junto ao segundo teste de batimetria. Por fim, conclui-se que o lodo reunido nas lagoas anaeróbias reduziu em aproximadamente 30% seu volume, possui concentração satisfatória de nitrogênio se comparado a outros materiais utilizados como biossólidos, porém pobre em fósforo realizando a mesma comparação. Está ausente de Salmonellas e possui alto teor de umidade, próximo de 98% e concentrações dos microrganismos coliformes termotolerantes e ovos de helmintos acima do permitido pela Resolução CONAMA 375/2006 o que inviabiliza, por hora, a sua utilização no solo. Também foi determinado, em função de formulações apresentadas na metodologia e das condições locais, que até fevereiro de 2015 o lodo possuirá umidade próxima de 70%. Sugestões para aceleração do desaguamento e inertização também estão presentes neste trabalho. / Slaughterhouses are inserted as the most frequent industrial enterprise in Mato Grosso justified mainly by agriculture is the main economic activity in the state, making slaughterhouses an option to add value to what is created here, especially in the production of cattle and poultry. Intrinsic to the slaughter industry is the generation of wastewater that must be treated prior to disposal in soil or water bodies. Stabilization ponds are the main type of treatment of this effluent in refrigerators in the state. This type of treatment generates a semisolid residue called sludge. This by-product can be rich in nutrients making it a material that is called biosolids. However, to receive this designation sludge stabilization ponds shall provide chemical and biological characteristics consistent with its use. These characteristics are also relevant as to pathogenicity. In Brazil, the CONAMA Resolution 375/2006 establishes parameters for concentration of microorganisms for use of sludge generated in wastewater treatment systems as a source of nutrients to the soil. In Várzea Grande – MT a complex of industries slaughter, installed since the late '70s, their effluents destined to a wastewater treatment system consisting of stabilization ponds containing two anaerobic ponds, a facultative pond and maturation pond. In January 2012 this treatment effluent was deactivated and replaced by another in another area, the sludge present in the system was assembled in both aerobic lagoons aiming its stabilization, dewatering and blanketing of pathogens. Given this context, this study evaluated qualitative and quantitatively the accumulated sludge from the waste stabilization ponds of complex industries with a view to disposal in soil. To this end, two studies bathymetry, one in October 2012 and another in January 2014, the determination of physico-chemical parameters of TSS, pH, BOD, COD, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and the determination of helminth eggs were performed , thermotolerant coliforms and Salmonella with the second test bathymetry. Finally, it is concluded that the sludge collected in anaerobic pounds reduced by approximately 30% in volume, has satisfactory nitrogen concentration compared to other materials used as biosolids, but poor in phosphorus performing the same comparison. Salmonella is absent and has high moisture content, around 98%, and concentrations of thermotolerant coliform microorganisms and helminth eggs above those permitted by CONAMA Resolution 375/2006 which prevents, for now, their use in soil. Was also determined according to the methodology presented formulations and local conditions, that until February 2015 the sludge possess humidity close to 70%. Suggestions for accelerated dewatering and blanketing are also present in this work.

Le système de gouvernance de la santé représente de véritables défis, étant donné la multiplicité, l'enchevêtrement, et même la divergence, des intérêts encourus. Les femmes administrateures apportent une nouvelle vision qui imprègne profondément les pratiques dans ce domaine et ce, sur le plan structurel, culturel et de la mission du système. L'objectif principal de cette recherche est de favoriser une meilleure compréhension des questionnements découlant de la problématique du genre en gouvernance de la santé. Plus précisément, il s'agit d'analyser empiriquement la dynamique de la diversité du genre au sein du conseil d'administration du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte Justine à Montréal. L'architecture de cette recherche est fondée sur une structure constructiviste suivant une approche exploratoire. Le cadre conceptuel de la recherche est établi à partir d'une revue des notions théoriques dans le domaine de la gouvernance publique, et celles concernant la recherche sur le genre dans l'organisation. Les questions tremplins identifiées ont permis de proposer des filons de compréhension, ayant eux mêmes servi de trame pour effectuer la triangulation des données empiriques issues de sources multiples. Suivant une démarche multidimensionnelle, qui s'inspire pleinement des principes du système complexe, un modèle est proposé pour représenter la dynamique du genre dans le conseil d'administration. En définitive, les résultats de cette recherche, qui s'appuient sur une étude de cas, explicitent les visions exprimées par les femmes et les hommes administrateurs concernant l'accès au conseil d'administration, l'insertion en son sein, l'interaction entre ses membres, et la différenciation des conceptions de notions fondamentales, notamment, la compétence, la composition, la performance, la pratique de gouvernance, et finalement le rôle de l'administrateur. Ces résultats auront des applications aussi bien théoriques que pratiques. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Conseil d'administration, Administrateur, Santé, Gouvernance, Diversité, Genre, CHU Sainte Justine.
