Vocalizations are widely studied as possible non-invasive indicators of welfare. The most common vocalizations in pigs are grunts and screams. This thesis is focused on the relationship between vocal parameters of piglet's grunts and screams and the behavioural arousal (which is assumed to indicate stress intensity) during the social isolation.

This work presents a new approach of fabricating arrays of electrodes, separated by sub-micrometer gaps allowing the systematic investigation of electric properties of organic semiconductors. The laterally stacked devices are fabricated by using a trench isolation technique for separating different electrical potentials, as it is known for micromachining technologies like Single Crystal Reactive Ion Etching and Metallization (SCREAM). The essential part of this process is the patterning of sub-micrometer trenches onto the silicon substrate in a single lithographic step. Afterwards, the trenches are refilled by SiO2 to allow the precise tuning of the electrode separation gap. The metal electrodes are formed via magnetron sputtering. This technological approach allows us to fabricate device structures with a transport channel length in the range of 100-250 nm by conventional photolithography. In this experiment, three different metals like Au, Co, and Ni were used as the electrode materials, while copper phthalocyanine, being deposited by thermal evaporation in high vacuum, was employed as the organic semiconductor under evaluation. The final aim has been study of spin transport through the organic channel in varied geometry.

Inspiré par la résurgence en popularité de l’horreur télévisuelle, ce mémoire propose une analyse du processus d’adaptation du « slasher » dans la série Scream : the TV Series (2015-, É.U, MTV et Netflix) de Jill Blotevogel. Naviguant entre le récit cinématographique condensé et la forme longue et épisodique de la télévision, l’apparition du « slasher » au petit écran se positionne dans une reconsidération de l’écriture télévisuelle. Déjà structuré selon des meurtres…en série, le « slasher » est-il le phénomène sériel parfait ? La problématique de cette recherche questionne la définition du phénomène sériel qu’est le « slasher » et de quelle façon celui-ci est importé sur le format télévisuel. Au travers de l’analyse de la dimension sérielle de la trilogie originale de Scream (Craven, 1996, 1997, 2000), nous verrons comment les diverses conventions du « slasher » cinématographique se retrouvent transformées par les spécificités de la télévision. / Inspired by the resurgence in popularity of TV horror, this thesis offers an analysis of the adaptation process of the slasher in Scream: the TV Series (2015-, USA, MTV and Netflix) created by Jill Blotevogel. Navigating between the condensed cinematographic narrative and the long and episodic format of television, the appearance of the TV slasher is positioned in a rehandling of television writing. Already based around serial killers, is the slasher the perfect serial phenomenon? The problematic of this research questions the definition of the serial phenomenon that is the slasher, and how it is imported on the television format. Through the analysis of the serial dimension of Scream's original trilogy (Craven, 1996, 1997, 2000), we will see how the various cinematographic slasher conventions find themselves transformed by the specificities of television.

This project is an interrogation of three examples from recent popular culture of girlculture, specifically texts that target young female consumers: the Spice Girls, Scream and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. These examples are fundamentally different than texts from earlier female targeted generic models because they not only reflect the influence of the feminist movement, they work on feminism's behalf. The project's methodology grows out of feminist film theories and cultural studies theories. One chapter is dedicated to each text, and each reading works to reappropriate girlculture texts for a counter-hegemonic agenda by highlighting the moments when each text manages to subvert its mass mediated conservative biases.

A tessitura deste texto tem seu início no encontro com a obra de Antonin Artaud e nas inquietações que surgem da experiência de uma leitura que se dá como se uma escuta fosse. Escuta-leitura que recolhe nas construções do poeta efeitos de testemunho acerca do momento de queda do sujeito, de desenlace da estrutura, tempo de soltura entre voz e palavra, quando o que emerge é o grito. Percorro, para isso, um caminho de leitura que se pretende um ensaio de escuta da narrativa de Antonin Artaud. Narrativa depositada nas cartas escritas por ele ao longo do seu período de internamento nos manicômios franceses entre os anos de 1937 e 1946. Leitura que toma as cartas como recorte norteador da pesquisa, mas que se mantém em interlocução com elementos de outras produções do poeta que se enlacem à escrita das correspondências. Diante do enclausuramento manicomial, das camisas de força, do eletrochoque, Artaud resistia amarrado à arte. O teatro irá compor um dos principais espaços fora da lógica manicomial. O artista, nas cartas, no teatro, nos poemas ou nos autorretratos, vive a busca por encontrar uma forma de transcrever o que é da ordem do grito. Este estudo acerca da voz e das tentativas de escritura do inominável conduz a uma pergunta auxiliar sobre o corpo. Questão que emerge na experiência clínica ao encontrar, no lugar de palavras articuladas a uma trama discursiva, algo que dá a ver a história de um sujeito através do que no corpo se cifra. Para compor essa trama entre o texto artaudiano e os interrogantes que emergem da clínica, busco nos fios da psicanálise a lalangue – articulador teórico que, em minhas elaborações, enlaça corpo e palavra, voz e escrita. É a partir de lalangue que me inclino em direção à obra de Artaud. Artaud encenou, desenhou, escreveu, gritou o grito. E assim, o grito, vestígio de real que irrompe na cadeia associativa em razão da desarticulação do discurso, pode fazer algo de uma travessia: do vazio da voz desancorada da palavra em um momento de queda do sujeito para um espaço/tempo de endereçamento e existência. Existência que se sustentará corporificada na obra de Artaud. / The woven of this text has its beginning in the work of Antonin Artaud and in the anxiety that arise from the reading-listen experience as if it were a listening. The listening-reading that gathers in the construction of the poet effects of the testimony regarding the moment of the subject fall, of the structure disconnection, of looseness time between the voice and the word, when what arise is the scream. For that, I laid a reading path that is a listening essay in the narrative of Antonin Artaud. This narrative is found in the letters which were wrote by him in his time as an intern in several French mental asylums, from 1937 to 1946. This reading makes his letters as the research compass, but maintain the connection to other work of this poet. Faced with the mental asylum enclosure, the straitjacket and the electro-shock, Artaud remained bound to the art. The theater will compose one of the spaces out of this asylum logic. In the letters, in the theater, in the poems or in the self-portraits, the artist lives to find a way to transcribe what is an scream instance. This study regarding the voice and the writing attempts of the unnamed, leads an auxiliary question about the body. This question arises in the clinical experience which finds, replacing the words from a discursive plot, something else that makes the subject history cyphered in the body. To compose this plot between the plot between the text from Artaud and the questioners that arise from the clinic, I turn to the threads of the lalanage psychoanalyses – theoretical articulator which in my reasoning, connects body and word, voice and writing. Since lalange that I tend to the work of Artaud. Artaud, played, draw, wrote and shout out the scream. With these actions the scream, trace of the real that irrupts in the association chain due to the disarticulation of the speech, can make the passage: from the voice emptiness unanchored from the word during the moment of the subject fall to a time/space of direction and existence. Existence that sustains itself embodied in the work of Artaud.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Entwicklung eines auf mikromechanischen Sensorstrukturen basierenden Schwingungsmesssystems dargestellt. Die Besonderheit besteht im frequenzselektiven Wirkprinzip. Der Sensor siebt an seiner Resonanzstelle aus einem breitbandigen Anregungssignal ein schmales Band heraus und unterdrückt die anderen Frequenzbereiche. Auf diese Weise werden ohne Fourier-Transformation direkt spektrale Informationen gewonnen. Weiterhin sind die Resonanzfrequenz und damit der Messbereich mittels elektrostatischer Kräfte in einem weiten Bereich abstimmbar.

This paper is a bachelor thesis in machine design where screaming screw tightenings are discussed. The research was initiated with a preliminary study in screw mechanics and the tightening process, as well as the stick-slip phenomenon. Furthermore, interviews were conducted with people at Scania and Atlas Copco who have relevant experience in screaming screw tightenings. These interviews strengthened the theory that screaming is caused by stick-slip. The natural frequency of a screw joint with a M8 x 60 mm screw and M8 M6M nut were approximated with FEM-analysis in Ansys. This in order to provide data for comparison with measured screams in future practical tests. The initial hypothesis that stick-slip causes scream was considered plausible since the natural frequency for the screw joint’s torsional oscillation is within the audible range. / Denna rapport är ett kandidatexamensarbete i maskinkonstruktion där skrikande skruvdragningar undersöks. Undersökningen inleddes med en förstudie i skruvens mekanik och åtdragningsprocessen. Stick-slip-fenomenet har även undersökts i förstudien. Vidare har intervjuer gjorts med personer som har erfarenhet inom området på Scania och Atlas Copco. Dessa intervjuer stärker teorin om att skrikfenomenet orsakas av stick-slip. Egenfrekvenser för ett skruvförband med dimensionerna M8 x 60 mm för skruven och M8 M6M för muttern togs fram genom en FEM-analys i Ansys. Detta för att i framtida praktiska tester kunna jämföra dessa frekvenser med uppmätta skrik. Den ursprungliga hypotesen om att stick-slip orsakar skrik bedömdes rimlig då egenfrekvensen för skruvförbandets torsionssvängning faller inom det hörbara intervallet.
