Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om den tysta läsningen i grundskolans tidigare år behöver ändras, varför detta behövs samt hur den kan ändras. Till grund för studien skrevs tre frågeställningar. Dessa lyder:   Behöver den tysta läsningen förändras- varför? Hur kan den tysta läsningen i skolan utvecklas? Hur kan utvecklandet av tyst läsning gynna elevernas läsande och livslånga lärande?   Studien genomfördes genom en litteraturstudie av forskning och annan litteratur. Litteraturen och stoffet analyserades genom Vygotskijs och det sociokulturella perspektivet.   Det undersökningen visat är att läsförmågan i Sverige sjunkit och att den fortsätter att sjunka. För att ändra på detta behövs mer undervisning i lässtrategier. En förändring i momentet tyst läsning är därför av vikt. Om en sådan förändring skulle medföra ökade resultat går inte att säga, det behövs det större undersökningar för att ta reda på.   En förändring från den enskilt tysta läsningen till en tyst läsning där samtalet och innehållet i texten får en större betydelse visar undersökningen är att föredra. Detta innebär inte att den tysta läsningen ska försvinna. Den enskilda läsningen behövs också, då avkodning är en viktig förmåga för att utveckla goda läsare. Däremot visar studien att genom att samtala om lässtrategier, lyfta olika tolkningar och få ett dialogiskt klassrum där elevernas frågor är av vikt, kan vi utveckla bättre läsare i skolan. / The aim of this study is to see if the silent reading in the early school years in Sweden needed to change. The purpose was also to see how this educational moment could change and what benefit the students learning could have of this change. To answer this aim some question was written. These where:   Does the silent reading need to change - why? How can the silent reading in school develop? How can the development of this educational moment benefit the students’ lifelong learning and reading skills?   The study where executed thru a literature study with both research- and other literature material. These where analyzed thru Vygotskijs and the sociocultural perspective on learning.   The study shows that the reading ability in Swedish school has dropped and continues to drop. To change this down going pattern more education in reading strategies are necessary. A change in the silent reading is therefore important. The study cannot say if a change would increase Swedish students reading ability. A larger research is needed to see this.   A change in the silent reading, from an individual work, to a moment where the conversation and content of the text get larger space, are something the study shows as an important change. This does not exclude the silent reading as an individual work. It is necessary to read much to increase the reading fluency. This is a significant part of becoming a good reader. Though the study shows that this is important, the education need more conversations and education about reading strategies. If we teachers lift different aspects of the text and create a dialogical classroom where the students’ questions matters the development of good readers will have a significant chance of growing.

The paper is devoted to the investigation of behavioral equivalences of concurrent systems modeled by Petri nets with silent transitions. Basic τ-equivalences and back-forth τ-bisimulation equivalences known from the literature are supplemented by new ones, giving rise to complete set of equivalence notions in interleaving / true concurrency and linear / branching time semantcis. Their interrelations are examined for the general class of nets as well as for their subclasses of nets without siltent transitions and sequential nets (nets without concurrent transitions). In addition, the preservation of all the equivalence notions by refinements (allowing one to consider the systems to be modeled on a lower abstraction levels) is investigated.

The neurotoxic potential of intravenous administered benzylpenicillin (BPC) was studied in rabbits with intact blood-CNS barriers and rabbits with experimental E. coli meningitis. At onset of epileptogenic EEG activity or seizures, serum, CSF and brain tissue were collected for assay of BPC. Based on the fact that, in tissues, BPC seems to remain extracellularly, brain concentrations of BPC were expressed as brain tissue fluid (BTF) levels, calculated as lOx the concentration in whole brain tissue. Neurotoxicity could be precipitated in all rabbits. In normal rabbits BTF levels of BPC were considerably higher than those in CSF indicating a better penetration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). BPC penetrated better to CSF and BTF in meningitic rabbits than in normal controls, suggesting some degree of damage of the BBB concomitant with meningeal inflammation. E. coli meningitis did not increase the neurotoxicity of BPC. In control rabbits the intracistemal injection of saline resulted in some degree of pleocytosis. Unmanipulated animals are therefore preferable as controls. Epileptogenic EEG-changes was the most precise of the two variables used for demonstration of neurotoxicity. EEG-changes were therefore used as neurotoxicity criterion in the following rabbit experiments. To evaluate the effect of uraemia alone and uraemia plus meningitis on the neurotoxity of BPC in rabbits, cephaloridine was used to induce uraemia. Meningitis was induced by intracistemal inoculation of a cephalosporinresistant strain of E. cloacae. Untreated  rabbits were used as controls. Uraemia resulted in increased BTF penetration of BPC, possibly explained by permeability changes in the BBB and/or decreased binding of BPC to albumin. Uraemia did not result in increased penetration of BPC into the CSF of non-meningitic rabbits. Uraemic non-meningitic rabbits had the highest BTF levels of BPC at the criterion, indicating that cephaloridine-induced renal failure increased the epileptogenic threshold in these rabbits. The combination of uraemia and meningitis increased the neurotoxicity of BPC since the criterion was reached at considerably lower BTF levels of BPC. Meningitis, either alone or together with uraemia, did not increase the neurotoxicity in comparison to control rabbits. Higher BTF levels of BPC were found in meningitic rabbits than in controls with intact blood-CNS barriers at onset of EEG-changes. In all groups of rabbits there was a pronounced variability of BPC levels in the CSF while the intra-group variations in BTF levels were much smaller. Thus, BTF and not CSF levels were decisive for the neurotoxicity of BPC. Using   the same EEG-model, the neurotoxic potential of imipenem/cilastatin (I) and a new penem derivative, FCE 22101 were compared in a cross-over study. Both I and FCE 22101 were significantly more neurotoxic than BPC. While BTF levels of the three antibiotics could be detected in all tested rabbits, detectable CSF levels were only found in one of twelve rabbits treated with I or FCE 22101, indicating that BTF concentrations rather than CSF ones are decisive for neurotoxicity of ß-lactam antibiotics. The EEG-model used was found to be a suitable model for cross-over studies of intravenously administered antibiotics. Using the "silent-second" as EEG-threshold, a CNS interaction between intraperitoneally administered BPC and intravenous thiopental was demonstrated in rats. The most probably site for this interaction is the organic acid transport system out of the CNS. Thiopental distribution in the rat brain seemed to depend not only on its lipid solubility. / <p>Diss.

Esta tesis estudia el gag visual en tanto que imagen en movimiento, analizando sus formas, modelos y funciones esenciales. Se parte de una serie de ejemplos clave del cine mudo y el slapstick para rastrear su evolución a lo largo de la historia del cine y sus prolongaciones en medios audiovisuales como la televisión y el videojuego. El estudio se centra en las tres grandes dimensiones de construcción formal del gag, tiempo, espacio y movimiento; ligando esos tres registros formales a tres funciones límite: narración, juego y sentido. La investigación confirma el papel del gag como una de las formas de resistencia visual más poderosas de la cultura contemporánea, que cuestiona valores narrativos y simbólicos a través de la posibilidad cómica. / This thesis studies the visual gag as moving image, analyzing its essential patterns, forms and functions. A series of key silent film and slapstick examples are located in order to examine their evolution throughout film history and their extensions in other media like television and video games. The research focuses on three main dimensions of the gag’s formal construction, time, space and movement; three formal scopes that lead to three functional limits: narration, gameplay and sense. The thesis confirms the essential role of the gag as one of the most powerful forms of visual resistance in contemporary culture, that questions narrative and symbolic values through comic possibilities.

A dissertação procura estabelecer os fundamentos constitucionais e legais do princípio da cooperação no processo civil, descrevendo-o como um princípio constitucional implícito, decorrente do princípio da solidariedade (art. 3, I, CF/1988), da isonomia (art. 5., caput, CF/1988), do acesso à ordem jurídica justa (art. 5., XXXV, CF/1988), do devido processo legal (art. 5., LIV, CF/1988), do contraditório, da ampla defesa (art. 5., LV, CF/1988) e da duração razoável do processo (art. 5., LXXVIII, CF/1988). O trabalho procura demonstrar que o princípio da cooperação é a ideia base de vários dispositivos do Código de Processo Civil (CPC) de 1973 e do Projeto do Novo CPC, entre eles o art. 339 do CPC/1973 e aqueles que disciplinam a exibição de documento ou coisa. A dissertação procura estabelecer os limites do princípio da cooperação existentes no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, em especial o direito à privacidade (art. 5., X, CF/1988) e o direito ao silêncio (art. 5., LXIII, CF/1988). Enfim, a dissertação procura estabelecer o conteúdo do princípio da cooperação e a forma como este opera no processo civil. / The dissertation seeks to establish the constitutional and legal foundations of the principle of cooperation in civil procedure, describing it as an implicit constitutional principle deriving from the principle of solidarity (art. 3., I, Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil - CFRB), access to justice (art. 5., XXXV , CFRB), due process of law (art. 5, LIV , CFRB), adversary system (art. 5., LV , CF/1988) and reasonable duration of proceedings ( art. 5. , LXXVIII , CF/1988) . The essay seeks to demonstrate that the principle of cooperation is the basic idea of various provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) of 1973 and of the Project of the New CPC, including the art. 339 of CPC/1973 and those that discipline the disclosure of documents and things. The dissertation seeks to establish the limits to the principle of cooperation in the Brazilian legal system, in particular the right to privacy (art. 5. , X, CF/1988) and the right to remain silent (art. 5. , LXIII , CF / 1988). At last, the dissertation seeks to establish the essence of the principle of cooperation and the way it operates in civil procedure.

Célèbre dans l’histoire du théâtre pour avoir fondé en 1887 le Théâtre-Libre et ainsi révolutionné la mise en scène moderne, André Antoine a consacré la dernière partie de sa vie au cinéma, tournant huit films entre 1915 et 1922 pour la Société cinématographique des auteurs et gens de lettres, puis pour la Société d’éditions cinématographiques, avant de se consacrer à la critique, dramatique et cinématographique, dans plusieurs journaux. Cette dernière partie de sa vie laissa peu de traces dans l’histoire du cinéma et ses films, comme ses critiques et textes théoriques sur le cinéma, sont encore méconnus. Inspiré par les théories naturalistes d’Émile Zola, Antoine appliqua au nouvel art une méthode rigoureuse reposant sur l’expérience du milieu. Il se heurta ainsi aux tendances avant-gardistes qui gagnèrent le cinéma au début des années 1920. Or, c’est l’intérêt de cette valeur expérimentale de son cinéma, où priment la recherche, l’observation et l’expérience, que cette thèse met en lumière, en montrant les réseaux de convergence entre la méthode singulière d’Antoine et les pratiques et discours qui animèrent le cinéma au tournant de la Première Guerre mondiale, moment clef de sa légitimation en tant qu’art. Cette étude repose sur une analyse approfondie des films d’Antoine, de ses archives personnelles, des archives de production, et des nombreux écrits qu’il a produits sur le cinéma, entre 1915 et 1928, année de rupture dans un combat pour la reconnaissance de l’auteur de film qui opposa le metteur en scène aux cinéastes de la Première vague. / André Antoine’s place in theatre history is earned through his 1887 founding of the Théâtre-Libre and revolutionizing of modern mise en scène, but it is cinema that occupied the last part of his life as he made eight films between 1915 and 1922 for the Société cinématographique des auteurs et gens de lettres (“Film Society of Authors and Men of Letters”) and then for the Société d’éditions cinématographiques (“Society of Film Editions”), before devoting himself to theatre and film critic in several newspapers. These late years left few traces in film history, and both his films and his critical and theoretical writings remain largely unknown. Inspired by Emile Zola’s naturalist theories, Antoine took to the new art form a rigorous method based on the experience of environment. He clashed with avant-garde trends which were making their way to cinema in the early 1920s. This thesis highlights the experimental value of Antoine’s cinema, which gives a special role to research, observation and experience, by demonstrating the convergence of his special method with practices and discourse animating cinema at the turn of the World War I, a key moment of its legitimation as an art form. This study is based on in-depth analysis of Antoine’s films, his personal archives, production notes, as well as numerous texts he wrote on cinema between 1915 and 1928, the climactic year in the struggle for authorship recognition between Antoine and filmmakers of the First avant-garde.

pós-infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) têm mostrado baixo valor preditivo positivo quando estudados isoladamente. A possibilidade da Eletrocardiografia Dinâmica de 24 horas (ECGD) fornecer dados referentes a isquemia silenciosa (IS), arritmias ventriculares e modulação autonômica do coração pelo estudo da variabilidade da freqüência cardíaca (VFC), levou o autor a empregar este método em pacientes acometidos de IAM com o objetivo de avaliar se estas três variáveis estariam relacionadas a presença de eventos desfavoráveis em evolução a médio prazo. Material e Métodos – Foram selecionados 91 pacientes acometidos de um primeiro IAM não-complicado e realizados exames de ECGD de 24 h por dois dias consecutivos, antes da alta hospitalar. Os parâmetros pesquisados nos exames foram: isquemia silenciosa, identificação e quantificação de arritmias ventriculares e determinação dos índices de VFC pelos métodos do domínio do tempo e do mapa de retorno tridimensional. Foram considerados como desfechos: re-infarto, angina instável, taquicardia ventricular sustentada e morte. Resultados – No seguimento médio de 27,7 meses (DP=15,45), 23 (25%) dos pacientes apresentaram eventos, sendo nove fatais. Os eventos foram mais freqüentes entre os pacientes que apresentaram extra-sístoles ventriculares ≥10/hora (p=0,01) e também naqueles com IS (p=0,02). Em modelo de análise multifatorial, a presença de dislipidemia elevou o valor preditivo positivo dessas variáveis. Nenhum dos índices de VFC esteve significativamente relacionado ao surgimento de eventos. Conclusões – Em pacientes pós-IAM de baixo risco, a presença de arritmias ventriculares freqüentes ou de isquemia silenciosa está relacionada a um prognóstico desfavorável. O estudo da VFC não mostrou utilidade na estratificação de risco destes pacientes. / Introduction and objective – The noninvasive methods used in post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) risk stratification have been shown to have a low predictive value when studied in isolation. The possibility that ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring (AEM) may provide data on silent ischemia (SI), ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and autonomic modulation of the heart through the study of heart rate variability (HRV) led the present author to use this method in AMI patients with the aim of assessing whether these three variables could be related to the presence of unfavorable events in the medium term follow-up. Methods – Ninety-one patients with a first, uncomplicated AMI were selected and submitted to AEM for two consecutive days prior to discharge from the hospital. The parameters studied in the examination were as follows: presence of SI, identification and quantification of VA and determination of the HRV indices by the time domain and three-dimensional return map methods. The following were regarded as outcomes: new AMI, unstable angina, sustained ventricular tachycardia and death. Results – In the mean follow-up of 27.7 months (SD=15.45), 23 (25%) of the patients presented events, nine of which were fatal. Events occurred most frequently in the patients who presented ventricular premature contractions >= (p=0.01) and also in those with SI (p=0.04). In the multifactorial analysis the presence of dislipidemia raised the positive predictive value of these variables. None of the HRV indices was significantly correlated with the occurrence of events. Conclusions – In low-risk post-AMI patients the presence of frequent ventricular arrhythmias or silent ischemia is associated with an unfavorable prognosis. The study of HRV was not shown to be useful in the risk stratification of these patients.

Esta pesquisa procura investigar o processo de projeto na arquitetura e como o mesmo passou a ser influenciado nas últimas décadas pelas ferramentas digitais que surgiram desde então. Busca estabelecer uma visão sobre o projeto arquitetônico questionando a existência de um novo paradigma. Para isso analisa a produção acadêmica brasileira dos últimos anos que exploraram ou desenvolveram teorias sobre a utilização de ferramentas digitais afim de estabelecer um ponto de partida. Através da bibliografia expõem uma visão e uma defesa de uma forma de projetar e de como as ferramentas digitais podem auxiliar este processo sem criar deturpações de uso. Por fim o texto contrapõem duas arquiteturas: a arquitetura silenciosa - sóbria - que busca adequar-se à cidade e tão bem aguenta o passar do tempo e a arquitetura digitalista, focada no "inusitado", que está muito mais voltada à possibilidade de exploração midiática da edificação e que tantos problemas traz aos usuários e à sociedade. / This research investigates the design process in architecture and how it came to be influenced in the past few years by digital tools which emerged since then. It seeks to establish a vision about the architecture design methods by questioning the existence of a new paradigm. Thereunto it analyzes the Brazilian academic production of the past few years which explored or developed theories about the use of digital tools in order to establish a starting point. Through literature, it exposes a vision and a defense of a way of designing and how digital tools can assist this process without creating distortions of its use. Finally, the text contrasts two types of architecture: the silent, sober architecture, which seeks to adapt to the city and as well support the passage of time and changes of its uses, and the "digitalist" architecture, focused on the "unusual", which turns to the possibility of the media exploitation of the building and the many problems it brings to users and society.
