The internal unity of the themes in a sonata-allegro movement and the external unity of the movements in a sonata cycle are crucial elements of Beethoven's compositional aesthetic. Numerous theorists have explored these aspects in Beethoven's sonatas, symphonies, quartets, and concertos. Similar research into the independent variation sets for piano, excluding Opus 120, has been largely neglected as the result of three misconceptions: that the variation sets, many of which were based on popular melodies of Beethoven's time, are not as worthy of study as his other works; that the type of hidden internal relationships which pervade the sonata cycle are not relevant to the variation set since all variations are, by definition, related to the theme; and that variations were composed "additively," that is, one after another, without any particular regard for their order or relationship to one another. The purpose of this study is to refute all three of these incorrect assumptions. Beethoven was concerned with the order of variations and their relationship to one another, and he was able to transcend the additive tendency in a number of ways. Some of his methods included registral connection, registral expansion, rhythmic acceleration, textural expansion, dynamics, articulation, and motivic similarities. Chapter I contains a discussion of the role of the variation set in Beethoven's overall output. The teachers, composers, and works which may have influenced him are also discussed as well as his training in variation composition. Finally, those factors which Beethoven employed to unify his sets are listed and explained. Chapters II-V are devoted to detailed analyses of four striking variation sets: Opus 34, Opus 35, WoO 80, and Opus 120. Chapter VI presents a summary of the findings. It suggests that each of the sets investigated has a unique form and that each variation has a distinct place and purpose.

Novos negócios, novos serviços, novos processos e a evolução constante dos que já existem, além do atendimento das estratégias estabelecidas, são desafios diários da organização. Isso indica a necessidade de se ter funcionários, independentemente do nível hierárquico, que possuam senso de oportunidade e sensibilidade para os desafios e os problemas enfrentados pela empresa, além da obstinação em resolvê-los, características ligadas ao conceito de empreendedorismo corporativo. De um outro ponto de vista, o atendimento das estratégias, em sua maioria, é realizado por meio de projetos, sendo o maior responsável pela sua liderança: o gerente de projetos. Assim, nesse processo, esse profissional torna-se um elemento chave para o sucesso do projeto e das estratégias; adicionalmente, pode se tornar importante para o futuro da organização, ao usar sua capacidade empreendedora para vislumbrar novas necessidades e oportunidades. No entanto, o gerente de projetos tem responsabilidades operacionais, de monitoramento, contabilização e controle perante o projeto, para que os objetivos iniciais sejam atendidos, quando talvez as características de um empreendedor não sejam necessárias. Torna-se então relevante avaliar se as características de um empreendedor corporativo agregam valor ou não ao gerente de projetos, na medida em que elas se reflitam em projetos mais bem sucedidos. Para essa avaliação, realizou-se uma pesquisa por meio de 164 gerentes de projetos, em sua maioria homens bastante experientes, com pós-graduação. A análise não-paramétrica indicou uma tendência de se ter projetos mais bem sucedidos quanto maior for a tendência empreendedora do gerente de projetos. Houve um destaque para a tendência criativa, para a qual pôde-se observar um impacto positivo em inúmeros critérios de sucesso, inclusive sugerindo que quanto maior a tendência criativa do gerente de projetos, maior será a possibilidade do projeto ser bem sucedido. Como não se encontrou menção dessas características nos autores pesquisados nesse estudo, recomenda-se a revisão do estudo do perfil do gerente de projetos, a fim de se avaliar mais profundamente a inclusão da tendência criativa em seu perfil. Um gerente de projetos não pode mais ser visto como um mero executor; deve sim ser visto como um parceiro importante no reconhecimento e busca de novas oportunidades, além da contribuição aos bons resultados, pela persistência em solucionar problemas e desafios encontrados no desenvolvimento de suas atividades. / New businesses, new services, new processes, the already constant evolution of them, also the settle strategy are the organization daily challenges. So,it indicates they require to have employees, independently from hierarchical level, who have a sense of opportunity and sensibility to the problems and dare faced by the company, and a strong will to solve them. These characteristics are part of the conception of corporate entrepreneurship. A another point of view: these strategies solutions are in its majority made by projects, and the responsible person for its leadership is the project manager. Therefore, in this process he becomes the key element to the project and strategy success; additionally he can become very important to the future of the organization when he applies his entrepreneur skills to glimpse new necessities and opportunities. However, the project manager has operational responsibilities, like monitoring, accounting and control, in order to attend the initial targets, even whenever entrepreneur skill might not be necessary. Therefore, it is relevant to evaluate whether a corporate entrepreneur skills add values to the project manager or not, from the moment they are used in successful projects. A research with 164 project managers with post-graduation courses and great work experience was carried on, in order to have this evaluation. Nonparametric analysis indicated a tendency of more successful projects as far as the manager entrepreneur skills tendency increase. There was an emphasis for the creative tendency, which a positive impact in several successful criteria could be observed, also suggesting that the more creative tendency of the project manager, the more it will be the responsibility of a successful project. As there are not mention about this characteristics in the literature, we recommend a profile project manager review to fill this gap. A project manager cannot be like a simple person who carry orders; he should be a partner in a enterprise to seek opportunities, beside his or her contribuition to fix the problems and challenges.

Este trabalho foi desenvolvido visando a estimativa de parâmetros genéticos para características de carcaça obtidas por ultrassonografia em bovinos da raça Nelore. Foram analisadas as informações de 13.256 animais, machos e fêmeas, com idade entre 10 e 25 meses, provenientes de cinco propriedades distintas, pertencentes ao programa de melhoramento genético da Associação Nacional de Criadores e Produtores (ANCP). As características de carcaça avaliadas por ultrassonografia foram área de olho de lombo (AOL), espessura de gordura subcutânea (EGS), espessura de gordura na garupa (EGG), percentagem de gordura intramuscular (PGIM), além do peso na data da avaliação e das estimativas do peso e da percentagem da porção comestível (PESPC e PERPC, respectivamente). Foram estimadas a herdabilidade, correlações genéticas e fenotípicas, além da tendência genética observada no período avaliado. As herdabilidades observadas foram de moderada magnitude (0,18 a 0,37), suportando a recomendação de seleção para as características de carcaça. As correlações da gordura intramuscular com as demais variáveis foram, em sua maioria, próximas de zero, com exceção para as correlações com a área de olho de lombo e com o peso da porção comestível, cujos valores negativos devem ser considerados nos critérios de seleção. O efeito da idade sob as características permite afirmar que as avaliações por ultrassonografia podem ser obtidas em idade precoce. Os resultados indicaram ainda que a inclusão das DEPs de carcaça tem proporcionado melhorias na área de olho de lombo e nas espessuras de gordura, no entanto a percentagem da gordura intramuscular e o rendimento dos cortes cárneos não apresentaram progresso uniforme na população e período avaliados. / This work was developed aiming to estimate genetic parameters for carcass traits obtained by ultrasound in Nelore cattle. The information of 13,256 animals were analyzed, male and female, with ages between 10 and 25 months, from five distinct properties, belonging to the genetic improvement program of the Associação Nacional de Criadores e Produtores (ANCP). The carcass characteristics evaluated by ultrasonography were: rib eye area (REA), subcutaneous back fat thickness (BF), rump fat thickness (RF), percentage of intramuscular fat (IMF), also the weight on the valuation date, estimates of weight and percentage of retail product. Heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations were estimated, in addition to the genetic tendency observed during the study period. Observed heritability had moderate magnitude (0,18 to 0,37), corroborating the selection recommendation for carcass traits. The percentage of intramuscular fat correlations with other features were mostly close to zero, except for correlations with the loin eye area and the weight of retail product, whose negative values should be considered in the selection criteria. The effect of age on the observed features suggest that the ultrasound evaluation can be held at an early age. The results also indicated that the inclusion of expected progeny differences (EPDs) has provided improvements in REA and BF, however the intramuscular fat and yield of meat cuts showed no uniform progress in the population and the evaluated period.

Mudanças volumétricas presentes na matriz cimentícia, oriundas dos processos de hidratação e de secagem do compósito cimentício, geram uma tendência de fissuração no material. Em pisos de concreto, a presença de tal manifestação patológica, decorrente do fenômeno da retração por secagem, é extremamente preocupante. Desta forma, a realização de esforços visando avaliar a influência de materiais constituintes do traço do concreto e seus proporcionamentos, com o intuito de reduzir a tendência de fissuração do material, gerada pelo fenômeno da retração por secagem, é extremamente válida. Para isto, foram avaliados fatores controláveis como o consumo de água (175l/m³; 190l/m³; 205l/m³), o teor de adição de microfibras de polipropileno (0g/m³; 300g/m³; 600g/m³; 900g/m³), o tipo de cimento (CP IV; CP V-ARI) e a idade, variável para cada ensaio realizado. Os ensaios empregados para esta avaliação foram o de resistência à compressão uniaxial, resistência à tração na flexão, retração por secagem livre e retração por secagem restringida. Os resultados dos ensaios mecânicos demonstraram a influência significativa do tipo de cimento e da idade avaliada na resistência do concreto. O teor de adição de microfibras de polipropileno exerceu uma pequena influência, porém significativa, com incrementos de 5% nos resultados mecânicos do ensaio de resistência à compressão uniaxial para os traços com teores de adição de 300g/m³ e 600g/m³. No entanto para o ensaio de resistência à tração na flexão, tal variável não se demonstrou significativa. O fator consumo de água não influenciou significativamente nos resultados correspondentes aos ensaios mecânicos, uma vez que a relação a/c manteve-se constante para todos os concretos estudados. No ensaio de retração por secagem livre, o tipo de cimento não demonstrou significância relevante para os resultados obtidos. Comportamento este, também observado para o teor de adição de microfibras de polipropileno, o qual não reduziu a magnitude da retração por secagem livre. Diferentemente do observado para a variável consumo de água, a qual influenciou significativamente nos dados obtidos, demonstrando a existência de uma relação direta entre a mesma e o fenômeno estudado. No ensaio de retração por secagem restringida, a tendência de fissuração dos concretos estudados foi influenciada significativamente pelo consumo de água presente na mistura. Conjuntamente, os resultados obtidos neste ensaio demonstraram que o teor de adição de microfibras de polipropileno é uma variável que deve ser proporcionada como os demais materiais constituintes do traço do concreto, ou seja, a quantidade incorporada no compósito cimentício não pode ser um valor determinado, semelhante para qualquer tipo de concreto. / Volumetric changes present in the cement paste matrix, coming from the processes of hydration and drying of cementitious composites, generate a cracking tendency in the material. In the concrete floor, this cracking tendency is extremely worrying. In this sense, efforts to evaluate the influence of important parameters in the mixture proportions of concrete, for decrease the cracking tendency due to drying shrinkage, it’s extremely valid. So, parameters were assessed like the consumption of water (175l/m³; 190l/m³; 205l/m³), the addition content of polypropylene staple fiber (0g/m³; 300g/m³; 600g/m³; 900g/m³), the type of cement (CP IV; CP V-ARI) and age, different for each test performed. The tests performed for this assessment were the compressive strength, flexural tensile strength, unrestrained drying shrinkage and restrained drying shrinkage. The results of mechanical tests shown the significant influence of the kind of cement and age assessed in the strength of concrete. The addition content of polypropylene staple fiber exerted little influence on the results of mechanical tests, but it was significant, with increases of 5% in the results of compressive strength for the mixtures with addition levels of 300g/m³ e 600g/m³. However for the flexural tensile strength, this parameter didn’t show significant. The water consumption didn’t influence significantly the results of mechanical tests, since the ratio a/c was constant for all concretes studied. In the unrestrained drying shrinkage, the kind of cement didn’t show importance for the results. This behavior also observed for the addition content of polypropylene staple fiber, which didn’t reduce the magnitude of free drying shrinkage. However, the water consumption influenced significantly in the results, demonstrating the existence of a direct relationship between it and the phenomenon studied. In the restrained drying shrinkage, the cracking tendency of the concrete studied was significantly affected by the consumption of water present in the mixture. Together, the results of this test showed that the addition content of polypropylene staple fiber is a parameter that should be provided as the others materials of the concrete mixture, i.e., the amount of polypropylene staple fiber incorporated into the cementitious composite can’t be a value fixed, similar to any type of concrete mixture.

The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the agonistic behaviors and reconciliation in captive and free-ranging Formosan macaques (Macaca cyclopis). The dominance style of Formosan macaques was compared with long-tailed, rhesus and Japanese macaques. I have used scan, focal sampling and ad libitum on aggressions of adult macaques. I have recorded post-conflict (PC) focal samplings on victims and compared those with matched control (MC) focal samplings. Agonistic behaviors had significantly higher frequency in captive than in free-ranging Formosan macaques. The frequencies of hostile and submission were significantly higher in captive than in free-ranging Formosan macaques. The captive adult females of higher rank had higher frequency of threat and hostile, and lower frequency of submission. Threat was the most frequent aggression (52-72%) expressed by both the captive and free-ranging adult monkeys. The victims in captive and free-ranging Formosan macaques usually submitted immediately after aggression (82-89%). The proportion of counter aggression in captive and free-ranging Formosan macaques were relative low (9-16%). The aqerage conciliatory tendency for adult Formosan macaques was 14.3% to 19.6%. The affiliative contacts in PC and MC in captive and free-ranging Formosan macaques were striking that both preferred grooming. The Formosan macaques significantly reconciled more during PC than MC period both in captive and free-ranging conditions. In addition, both had significantly more attracted than dispersed PC-MC pairs. The conciliatory tendencies in captive and free-ranging Formosan macaques were similar regardless of kin and non-kin partners. This study indicated that Formosan macaques were close to the macaques of Fascicularis group. Therefore, Formosan macaques had a despotic dominance style as suggested by Phylogenetic hypotheses.

In petroleum production systems, hydrate morphology is observed to be influenced by the crude oil composition. This work is aimed at identifying which crude oil compositional parameters that need to be determined in order to evaluate natural anti-agglomerating properties of crude oils, i.e. the critical compositional descriptors. The compositional features of 22 crude oils have been studied, and multivariate data analysis has been used to investigate the possibility for correlations between several crude oil properties. The results show that biodegradation together with a relatively large amount of acids are characteristic for non-plugging crude oils, while excess of basic compounds is characteristic for plugging crude oils. The multivariate data analysis shows a division of the nonbiodegraded oils, which are all plugging, and the biodegraded oils. In addition, the biodegraded oils seem to be divided into two groups, one with plugging oils and one with mostly non-plugging oils. The results show that the wettability can be predicted from the variables biodegradation level, density, asphaltene content and TAN.

Vyresnių klasių mokinių elgesio ypatumai bei požiūris į sveikatą dažnai lemia vėlesnio gyvenimo kokybę. Didelis priklausomybę sukeliančių medžiagų vartojimas, savižudiško elgesio dažnėjimas tarp jaunų žmonių kelia susirūpinimą. Tokio elgesio priežastys kompleksinės: biologinės, psichologinės ir socialinės. Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti vyresnių klasių mokinių asmenybės savybių, įvertintų MMPI metodika, sąsajas su savo sveikatos vertinimu ir save žalojančiu elgesiu. Tyrimas buvo atliktas Pagėgių Algimanto Mackaus, Tauragės Žalgirių, Salantų ir Šilutės Vydūno gimnazijose. Dalyvavo 725, 9-12 kl. mokiniai (41% vaikinai, 59% merginos), jų amžius svyruoja nuo 15 iki 19 metų. Tiriamųjų asmenybės savybėms įvertinti buvo naudojama MMPI metodika, savo sveikatos vertinimui - savo sveikatos vertinimo faktorius, save žalojančiam elgesiui – beprasmiškumo ir minčių apie mirtį faktoriai, priklausomybę sukeliančių medžiagų vartojimui – atskiri klausimai. Aukštėjant klinikinių MMPI skalių įverčiams blogėja savo sveikatos vertinimas, didėja priklausomybę sukeliančias medžiagas vartojančių mokinių skaičius, stiprėja polinkis savižudybei. Aukštėjant D, Pd, Pt, Sc, Ma skalių įverčiams, mokiniai linkę blogiau vertinti savo sveikatą. Didesnis mokinių priklausomybę sukeliančių medžiagų vartojimas siejasi su aukštesniais Pd, Pt, Sc, Ma skalių įverčiais, rūkymas daugiau skiriasi aukštesniais D, Pd, Pa, Pt, Sc, Ma, Si įverčiais, o alkoholio ir kitų narkotinių medžiagų vartojimas skiriasi aukštesniais Pd...

Intense usage of addictive substances and suicidal behavior among young people is in concern. Reasons of such behaviour are complex: biological, psychological and social. Objective of the study was to determine senior classes pupils personality characteristics, valuated with MMPI questionnaire, links to self-assessed health and self-harmful behavior. The study was conducted in Pagėgiai Algimantas Mackus, Tauragė Žalgiriai, Salantai and Šilutė Vidūnas gymnasiums. 725 pupils in grades 9-12 participated (41% guys, 59% girls), from 15 to 19 years old. MMPI questionnaire was used to evaluate personality characteristics, health evaluation factor for assessment of own health, thought about death and futility factors for evaluation of self-demaging behavior, separate issues for addictive substances usage. When MMPI clinical scale ratings increase, health is assessed worse, more pupils use addictive substances, increase tendency to suicide. Pupils with higher D, Pd, Pt, Sc, Ma scale ratings tend to assess their own health worse. Higher usage of addictive substances links to higher Pd, Pt, Sc, Ma scale ratings, smoking more links to higher D, Pd, Pa, Pt, Sc, Ma, Si scale ratings, alcohol and other drug usage more links to higher Pd, Sc, Ma ratings. Increase of Hs, Pd, Pa, Pt, Sc, Ma scale ratings links to higher tendency to suicide.

The work concerns the peculiarity of multidisciplinary team work, providing community mental health services. Theory defines the main principles of arranging the services, overview the tendency of reforms in field of psychiatry in Lithuania, propose brief development review, overlook legislation, highlighting various professional work components in the care system. The main purpose of research is to make an evaluation of Karoliniskiu mental health center’s staff and team work peculiarities parasitizing multidisciplinary team work method. Research was made using qualitative analysis, which identifies muldisciplinary team work, measures links between various professional groups. Conclusions: it is clear, that the institution has top-down (hierarchical) interactions, uneven information sharing between professional groups: psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers. Those are the main obstacles in building multidisciplinary team work in practice and equal interaction in between professionals; in case to make the treatment of patient’s problems more effective, it is necessary to enforce team work and change the information sharing system in institution – hierarchical collaboration should be changed to equal collaborating, while every professional’s competence has equal wage in general work process.

When rural settlements are examined in Anatolia, an evolution process from the prehistoric times could be observed rather than a radical change, about the building architecture and settlement pattern qualities. However, it is, in fact, a chronic discussion subject between the authorities that this case is a result of an inheritance of a building tradition from the predecessors to successors of the society or a reproduction of the similar spatial fiction after the same factors and inputs. The case of Fenaket rural settlement, which is situated at the western part of the Bozburun peninsula, maintains parallel characteristics, and stays within the limits of this discussion, by its vernacular architecture and spatial arrangement. The purpose of this research is to analyze and to document the vernacular dwellings and settlement pattern of abandoned Fenaket Village / to identify the evolution and the evaluation process of the megaroid houses of Fenaket / and to develop the means for sustaining this traditional example.

[pt] O presente trabalho visa analisar, à luz da teoria do desenvolvimento maturacional infantil e da tendência antissocial de Winnicott, o comportamento antissocial e delinquente de crianças e adolescentes, moradores de uma favela, localizada na Zona Sul da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Eles foram atendidos pelo serviço de psicologia clínica oferecido pelo projeto social de uma certa ONG. Tais crianças também têm em comum a violência, em suas várias manifestações, incidindo sobre suas vidas. Inicialmente foi descrito o local, o projeto em seu contexto, bem como as condições de atendimento. Foi utilizado o método de estudo de casos múltiplos em psicanálise, com o objetivo de obter uma melhor e mais ampla compreensão das dimensões psicossociais que o atendimento como um todo, pôde oferecer a essas crianças e adolescentes. O projeto seria um lugar onde a subjetividade desses jovens, marcada pelo sofrimento psíquico, a de-privação e as inúmeras formas de violência, encontram um espaço de escuta, acolhimento e uma possibilidade de (re)construção pela via da criatividade. / [en] The purpose of this study is to analyze, under Winnicott s theoretical standpoint of infant development and antisocial tendency, the antisocial and delinquent behaviors of infant and teenage residents of a slum (favela) located in the southern zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro. These children and teenagers - all treated by the clinical psychology service offered by a social project of a nonprofit organization - have in common the violence, under its several manifestations, touching their lives. A multiple case study method in psychoanalysis was used aiming to obtain an improved and broader comprehension of the psychosocial dimensions that the treatment as a whole could offer these children and teenagers. The project was held in a location where the subjectivity of these youths - marked by psychic suffering, deprivation, and several forms of violence - found a space of listening, welcoming, and the possibility of (re)construction through creativity.
