Essa necessidade se impõe pelo fato de que, em ambas as narrativas, as personagens são marcadas por percursos exílicos e/ou diaspóricos, além do fato de a condição judaica destas ser influenciada pela necessidade da escrita de seus conflitos íntimos e da sua memória; portanto, da consequente reescrita de si através da leitura dos arquivos que as constituem. Em virtude disso, ambas as personagens experimentam a condição vivenciada pelo estrangeiro, o desterritorializado que – no que concerne aos romances em estudo – busca na escrita um lar possível e percebe que esta é tão ambivalente quanto sua própria condição. Desse modo, será analisada a concepção identitária do sujeito que narra, já que, em virtude de ser diaspórico, apresenta o que Igel (1997) entende por “identidade em dobradiça”, e seu diálogo com a estrutura dos romances contemporâneos que trazem em seu cerne elementos ligados ao judaísmo, já que estes se caracterizam pela ausência de linearidade e pela fragmentação. Para isso, filiamo-nos aos pensamentos desenvolvidos por Scliar, Vieira, Derrida, Sorj, Lilenbaum, Kurtz, Lessa, Hall, Halbwachs, entre outros estudiosos das questões levantadas por esta pesquisa. Contudo, são os universos ficcionais de Levy e Laub, especificamente no que concerne aos romances A chave de casa e Diário da queda, que nos servem de norte principal

How much can we learn by analyzing ceramics, the most commonly found artifact type at an archaeological site? During the mid-eighteenth century, English potters introduced creamware, a white-bodied earthenware with a yellow tinted glaze. Creamware is a useful tool in understanding the social, cultural, and economic changes that took place during the late eighteenth century. Creamware was one of the first fashionable wares that was affordable to the "middling sorts." At the Narbonne House in Salem, Massachusetts, a large quantity of creamware was recovered through archaeological excavations, including over 13,000 sherds, comprising over 250 vessels, most of which were owned by the widow Mary Andrew and her family who lived there from 1780–1820. After conducting a minimum vessel count and analysis of style, I concluded that Mary Andrew and her children were purchasing creamware to appear genteel to their family and neighbors. Appearance was important since the Andrews were related to some of Salem's most elite merchant families including the Gardners, Derbys, and Hodges. Being well connected—though not wealthy—Mary Andrew purchased stylish goods that she could afford in larger quantities rather than spending her money on smaller sets of more expensive wares. This conscious decision illustrates that creamware was not only an important mark of gentility, but was also a way to create identity, especially for a well-connected, but not affluent widow. Her husband's final request was that his legacy be used to improve the home, presumably to continue his family's upward mobility in society. Though creamware cannot answer all of the questions we have about the past, it provides us with answers to issues relating to consumer choice and creation of identity through material goods. Many consumer studies in historical archaeology terminate in interpretations of economic status; creamware in particular allows archaeologists and other scholars to explore other motivations concerning consumption and what ownership meant to the family and for people whose voices may otherwise be unheard in history, such as widowed women.

In recent years the social service field has incorporated program evaluation. In this time of accountability, funding sources want to to know what they are buying. As they respond to this requirement, agencies often discover that they have been living with archaic record-keeping systems. Systems which are cumbersome, or do not collect needed information have become the focus for change. The context overview includes, first, information about the agency, Salem Area Family Counseling Service (SAFCS), second, about the catchment area from which it draws clients, and third, about the people it serves. The time perspective from which this is written is November, 1977, when the project began.

There is much information about the incidence of adolescent pregnancy yet little attention has been directed to how this process will interrupt the working towards or completion of the developmental tasks of adolescence. It is our belief that completion of these tasks is crucial in relation to moving into the next stage, adulthood. Public interest and concern for the contemporary needs of pregnant adolescents and school age parents as a special group is still fairly novel. Survey findings revealed that adolescent parents still have great need for infant day care services, direct financial assistance, housing arrangements, education, and parenting education. In this study, a service provider to teenage adolescents who are pregnant, Salem Teen Mother's Program, was examined in depth to assess the components of their program which assist with working toward completion of the tasks. Additionally, we looked at two cohorts of girls. Those that accepted and those that rejected the offered services at the Teen Mother's Program and developed a profile on each girl consisting of the following traits: age, marital status, religious preference, employment status, and race; the purpose being, to compare the two groups to see if there are reasons why they accept or reject participation in the program. Following completion of the profile, we then looked at the elements of the Teen Mother's Program and how they generally address the tasks. The review of the literature examines why teens get pregnant, statistics on pregnancy, an explanation of how various programs have helped, and the medical risks associated with teenage pregnancy. A description of the Salem Teen Mother's Program is presented.

This paper originated as a result of one of the stated objectives of the Salem Primary Prevention Project. That project, operating jointly with Marion County Community Mental Health, Salem School District 24J and the City of Salem’s Community Development Department, has had as one of its stated objectives, the development of a mechanism to review the impact of planned change at the local level. For several years both the staff and Advisory Committee for the Primary Prevention Program had wrestled with the complexity of developing such a review or assessment mechanism. Existing literature on social impact assessment appeared to deal primarily with rather large physical impacts upon local areas. Projects such as multiple-use reservoirs and inter-state highways that came under the constructions auspices of the federal government are examples. This, then was the background for beginning the search to develop the social impact assessment tool in January of this year. It shall be the purpose of this paper to construct both a rationale and a method for assessment of planned changes from local units of government upon neighborhoods under their jurisdiction.

A finite element model is developed in Abaqus Explicit to determine the resistance of Salem Limestone with three levels of initial micro-cracking to high-speed, monotonic impact. A comprehensive description of the model development is included, and the model is validated by comparing simulation impact results to known penetration depths during a mesh refinement study. The uniaxial compression simulations were performed to correlate the HJC damage parameter to the uniaxial compressive strengths from mechanical test data. Then, the HJC damage parameter is compared to the unconfined compression strengths to correlate the micro-crack damage levels. Subsequently, the model was used to determine the correlation of the penetration depths at the finite damage levels. In conclusion, the model described in the paper can adequately predict the penetration depths of the projectiles for a range of micro-crack damage levels. The micro-cracking did/did not affect the penetration depth.

Roanoke, as a city, needs to redefine itself and to constantly respond to what new should come to the city. Society and culture become an important factors in design. The insertion into an existing fabric requires a careful dialogue between past, present and future. The proposed building sets in contrast to the existing structures in the neighborhood of the site, establishing its own response to time. Although contrasting the existing buildings the proposition is responsive to context in terms of scale and materials. The context is important to continue the harmony and rhythm of the urban fabric. The site is located at one of the main entrances to downtown Roanoke and market square and hence the proposed building acts as a gateway to the future of the city. Due to its location the building will project the first image of the city. Therefore the proposed building should enhance and adapt to the social and cultural roots of the city. My thesis is a reaction to the existing conditions at the site for what I believe to be a lack of sensitivty to the context and the needs of the people of Roanoke. A museum is a public institution to provide insight into the attitudes and values of the local community. Through design the building is intended to symbolize the gateway to the future of the city. The basic shape of the building is curved in response to the plan of the site while allowing for an urban plaza in front. Cantilevered masses which radiate from Market square are inserted into the primary building mass providing a connection to a larger context. The cantilevered masses(which hosts art galleries)hover over and project into the urban plaza providing Roanoke city with a public space downtown. Thus the two most important elements i) Cantilevered masses and ii) The Urban Plaza are means to weave the thesis project into the existing urban fabric of the Roanoke. / Master of Architecture
