For that purpose, researchers of the area of communication and media were our theoretical support dialoguing with think-ers associated with artistic languages. The monograph is supposed to call the atten-tion for a media product that was able to articulate the unconventional languages, such as drama, fantastic and non-linear narrative, with television environment. For that a dialogue involving the author of the novel, Ariano Suassuna, the director of the short series, Luiz Fernando Carvalho, and literature on television was structured. This work was developed to make clear the discourses of the novel's author and the director of the short series in order to explore the complexity contained in an unconventional product to the support in which it presents itself. In this context, anal-ysis of the short series A Pedra do Reino was explored as support for evidences of a possible link between soap operas and artistic languages. / A pesquisa aqui apresentada busca lançar um olhar acadêmico sobre a ques-tão da linguagem teledramatúrgica no contexto da minissérie, especificamente em A Pedra do Reino, destacando nela o vanguardismo presente no gênero. Para isso, utilizamos como suporte teórico pesquisadores ligados à área de comunicação e mí-dia em diálogo com pensadores associados a linguagens artísticas. O trabalho pre-tende chamar a atenção para um produto midiático que conseguiu articular lingua-gens pouco convencionais ao meio televisivo, como o teatro, o gênero fantástico e a narrativa não linear. Para isso, nesta dissertação se estruturou um diálogo entre o autor do romance, Ariano Suassuna, o diretor da minissérie, Luiz Fernando Carvalho, e a literatura sobre o ao gênero televisivo. Esta dissertação se desenvolveu no sentido de expor com clareza os dis-cursos do autor do romance e do diretor na minissérie, no sentido de explorar a complexidade contida em um produto pouco convencional ao suporte em que se a-presenta. Neste contexto, análise da minissérie A Pedra do Reino foi explorada co-mo suporte para comprovação de uma articulação possível entre teledramaturgia e linguagens artísticas.

Tendo em vista a busca por matérias-primas de fontes renováveis e menos poluentes, e o crescente aproveitamento de subprodutos gerados por estas fontes, surgiu o interesse em estudar a síntese do carbonato de glicerina a partir da glicerina obtida como subproduto principal na fabricação de biodiesel. Sintetizou-se este composto no Laboratório de Química Orgânica Aplicada. Este tensoativo não é disponível no Brasil e possui propriedades cosméticas interessantes, que, no entanto, ainda devem ser mais exploradas na atualidade. No estudo, adicionou-se o carbonato a sabões líquidos obtidos a partir dos ácidos graxos provenientes dos óleos de soja e de mamona. Os sabões produzidos apresentaram baixa alcalinidade, reduzindo, assim, as adições de agentes químicos que podem ser agressivos à pele, como mostraram os resultados parciais. A partir do planejamento experimental, verifica-se a influência da temperatura e o tempo de reação da síntese do carbonato, assim como o tipo de catalisador utilizado. Análises de espectroscopia vibracional Raman e infravermelho, juntamente com ensaios de viscosidade, mostraram que a temperatura ideal para a carboxilação é de 140 °C, sendo que o tempo reacional deve ser de 6 a 7 h, utilizando-se como catalisador o sulfato de magnésio. Demonstrou-se também, a sensibilidade das duas técnicas na identificação dos picos das reações de síntese de carbonato de glicerila. Comparativamente, foram realizados testes de espuma dos sabões adicionados de carbonato de glicerila e de lauril sulfato de sódio. De um modo geral, a adição de carbonato de glicerila aos sabões propiciou a formação de uma espuma mais densa e persistente. A utilização de água dura reduziu o volume de espuma formado para todas as amostras. Comparando os dois óleos vegetais, soja e mamona, percebeu-se que os sabões produzidos a partir de óleo de mamona apresentaram menor formação de espuma. A adição de dietanolamina reduziu significativamente a estabilidade das espumas em todas as amostras. Estudos reológicos demonstraram que o tensoativo carbonato de glicerila é um fluido newtoniano, comportamento semelhante ao da glicerina pura. / In order to search for raw materials from cleaner and renewable sources, and the growing use of byproducts generated by these sources, has appeared the interest in studying the synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol obtained as a main byproduct in the manufacture of biodiesel. This compound was synthesized at the Laboratory of Applied Organic Chemistry. This surfactant is not available in Brazil and has interesting cosmetic properties, which, however, should be more exploited at present. In the study, carbonate was added to liquid soaps from the fatty acids from soybean oil and castor oil. Soaps produced had low alkalinity, thereby reducing the additions of chemicals that can be aggressive to the skin, as partial results showed. From the experimental design, the influence of temperature and reaction time of the synthesis of carbonate is investigated, as well as the type of catalyst used. Analysis of partial Raman vibrational spectroscopy, together with viscosity experiments showed that the optimal temperature for carboxylation is 140 °C, and the reaction time should be from 6 to 7 h, using magnesium sulphate as the catalyst. It also demonstrated the sensitivity of both techniques in identifying the peaks of the reactions of synthesis of glycerol carbonate. In comparison,foam tests were made of soaps added glycerol carbonate and sodium laurylsulfate. Overall, the addition of glycerol carbonate to soap provided the formation of denser and persistent foam. The use of hard water reduced the volume of foam formed for all samples. Comparing the two vegetable oils, soy and castor bean, it was noticed that soaps produced from castor oil had lower foaming. The addition of diethanolamine significantly reduced the stability of foams in all samples. Rheological studies demonstrated that the surfactant glycerol carbonate is neuwtonian fluid, behavior similar to that of pure glycerin.

This study updates prior examinations of sexual content on daytime soap operas by investigating verbal references, implied sexual acts and mentions of sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, it extends earlier work by analyzing the commitment level and age of those involved in the sexual content. Finally, this study will attempt to obtain a clear picture of what adolescents perceive while viewing these shows. This was investigated by conducting adolescent and adult focus groups to see how they talk about soap operas. Also, comparisons were made of adult and adolescent coding of the sexual content on soap operas. All daytime soap operas were recorded twice per month for a six month period in 1995. From this sample, 36 hours of programming were coded for sexual content. For the adolescent and adult comparison studies, six adolescents and six adults from the Portland metropolitan area were selected to take part in focus groups and soap opera coding. Each of these subjects is a current soap opera viewer and all watched Days of Our Lives. The findings in this study do not support a social learning theory account, according to which the content of television programming provides a basis for undesirable effects. This study shows that soap operas provide both positive and negative depictions of sexual activity. It suggests that the age and/or background of the viewer has a more significant influence on what the viewer gets from the viewing experience.

This thesis is an exploration of hospitality, sharing and acclimation within a studio art practice as a means of fostering consideration of others. I employ a practice whereby I disrupt the typical gallery context, and through the production and dissemination of consumable items from the Middle East, I examine how resources can be used, valued, and shared to accommodate various and unspecified others and provide opportunities for crossing thresholds of guest and host relationships.

In paper pulp production, many details can be optimized. For optimal separation of soap from black liquor, it is important to know the amount of soap in the black liquor. A project to produce a method for sampling black liquor and a method for measuring how much soap is present in black liquor by centrifugation was done at Södra Cell Mönsterås. Through centrifugation faster analysis can be done. It took a long time to develop a satisfactory sampling method, but with the help of careful checking of temperature and time, a method was achieved that worked at temperatures between 90 and 100°C, which were the temperatures that were most frequently found, but are higher than the optimum temperature for soap separation. The black liquor turned out to be inhomogeneous, so the project failed to obtain an optimal analysis method within the framework of this project. In the experiment, the centrifuge settings were optimized to 87°C, 2500 rpm and 10 minutes Further attempts could provide more optimal settings for the centrifuge and a substitute for black liquor could make a validation of the centrifuge possible. / Pappersmassaproduktion är komplex, och en rad faktorer kan optimeras. En viktig parameter vid såpavskiljning är innehållet såpa i svartlut eftersom en värdefull produkt, tallolja utvinns av såpa. Projektet syftar till att ta fram en metod för provtagning av svartlut och en metod för att mäta halten såpa i svartluten genom centrifugering. Genom centrifugering kan snabbare analyser göras.  Arbetet har utförts på Södra Cell Mönsterås. Arbetet att utveckla en tillfredsställande provtagningsmetod var komplicerad, men med hjälp av noggrann koll på temperatur och tid uppnåddes en metod som fungerade vid temperaturer mellan 90 och 100°C, vilket var de temperaturer som oftast fanns, men som är högre än optimal temperatur för såpavskiljning. Svartluten visade sig vara inhomogen, därför lyckades det inte att få fram en optimal analysmetod inom ramen av detta projekt. I försöket optimerades centrifugens inställningar till 87°C, 2500 rpm (varv per minut) och 10 minuter. Vidare försök skulle kunna ge mer optimala inställningar för centrifugen genom den utvecklade prov, och ett substitut för svartlut skulle kunne göra en validering av centrifugen möjlig.

<p>Byggnadsautomation har i dagsläget ett kalkylprogram gjort i Excel som är helt fristående från deras kvalitetsprogram. Dom vill i och med detta få ett två delat system som användaren både ska kunna köra med eller utan anknytning till Internet. Programmet har tillgång till en befintlig kund och komponentregister som man kommer åt via en Web Service. Om det inte finns någon Internet uppkoppling så kommer dessa register att sparas lokalt för att sedan synkroniseras när det finns tillgång till Internet. En kalkyl ska kunna sparas och öppnas antingen på servern eller lokalt som i detta fall är en SQLite databas. Själva applikationen kommer att utvecklas i .NET miljö i C#.</p>

Usage of smart phones has become more common nowadays. Timelog system is a user friendly and web based application which systemizes the business of a company with the focus on time tracking. Following the Timelog system from small screen of smart phones is not user-friendly because the Timelog application and its features have not been designed to be accessed from these devices. The solution is creating a smart phone client for the Timelog system which can connect to the database of the system. An appropriate approach is to design a Web Service as an intermediate layer to communicate between the client side and the database.The result is a smart phone client that can be used by users of Timelog system to manage their business when they use their mobiles instead of personal computers. The Web Service can also be used for other smart phone platforms. As a result it can be considered as a generic protocol for the mobile-user of Timelog system.
