This thesis reconsiders Maurice Halbwachs' theory of collective memory in terms of rhetoric. My purpose is to examine specifically how fading generations conform the present to the past as they fight to maintain and defend their collective identities. Although rhetoric and memory studies have often focused on the complex matters of national collectives, Halbwachs was also concerned with the individual and his or her interaction among those groups that matter in everyday living and memory's role in generational shifts that slowly transform culture. Halbwachs' theory helps determine exactly how attempts at conflict resolution are sometimes guarded defenses against threats to one's personal and collective identity. In contrast to the generally accepted use of memory as selectively adapting the past for present purposes, this protection of identity may require the present to remain faithful to one's past. To examine how memory and rhetoric are complementary, I draw a parallel between Maurice Halbwachs' collective memory theory and Jim Corder's notion of individual identity as historical narrative. Then, in further retracing Kenneth Burke's influence on Corder's work, I also compare Halbwachs' social constructionist view of memory to Burke's theories of symbolicity and identification. Finally, I apply these theories to the recent 2012 debate in Ybor City, Florida over the Spanish spelling of Seventh Avenue in which passing generations struggle to preserve their identity and sense of belonging in the changing social milieu. In demonstrating how people seek a more permanent sense of identity articulated through memory, this debate offers an alternative to the theory of identity as a rhetorical performance negotiated in the present.

Att stärka den fonemiska medvetenheten hos elever i riskzon för tidiga lässvårigheter har visatsig vara framgångsrikt i flera studier. I denna uppsats undersöks om delar ur ett utvecklatforskningsbaserat undervisningsmaterial, TIMA, Tidiga interventioner i matematik ochavkodning (Linköpings universitet, 2023), kan bidra till att gynna läsutvecklingen för elever irisk för tidiga lässvårigheter i årskurs 2. I undersökningen implementeras, genomförs ochutvärderas en intensiv, strukturerad och varierad läsintervention som pågår under 6 veckor.Programmet baseras på phonics-metoden där 12 elever undervisas i par med lärare vid 25tillfällen á 30 minuter. Interventionen och dess effekter analyseras både kvantitativt ochkvalitativt. Studien utgår från två grundskolor med sammanlagt 106 elever fördelat på fyraklasser där elever med tidiga tecken på läs- och skrivsvårigheter slumpmässigt randomiserastill en interventions- respektive kontrollgrupp. Urvalet grundar sig på grundskolornasscreeningtester i avkodning vid två tillfällen under höstterminen 2022. En ABA-AXA-designanvänds där både interventions- och kontrollgrupp genomför för- och eftertest, men endastinterventionsgruppen genomgår läskursen medan kontrollgruppen följer den ordinarieundervisningen. Resultaten visar på en förbättring hos interventionsgruppen iavkodningsförmåga av vanliga ord och nonord jämfört med kontrollgruppen. För att få redapå deltagarnas upplevelser av programmet genomfördes semistrukturerade intervjuer somanalyserades tematiskt. För eleverna i interventionsgruppen framträdde två teman; gemenskapoch förvärvade färdigheter i läsning. Resultaten indikerar att tidiga insatser bestående avphonics-träning med hög intensitet kan öka elevernas avkodningsförmåga avsevärt. Medtanke på elevernas framsteg och positiva upplevelser skulle vårt upplägg av läsprogram kunnaanvändas för att uppfylla garantin för tidiga stödinsatser i grundskolan (SFS 2010:800).

The specific objectives are: to characterize the socioeconomic structure of coastal and non-coastal municipalities and to identify whether there are differences in the quality of life of the population. For that, the approach of human development and economic geography was used as a theoretical reference in order to define quality of life and well-being, as well as the economic and social characteristics that are related to these concepts. The use of this theoretical framework allowed to reach a better definition of the dimensions of analysis and to proceed to the empirical analysis using the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method. The aim was to identify differences in the quality of life between the coastal and non-coastal areas of Brazil. The empirical analysis suggests evidence contrary to the common sense that in regions with greater potential for concentration of economic activities there is a higher quality of life. Regarding the economic characteristics, the results found corroborate the theory, showing that, in fact, there is a flagrant economic concentration in the coastal municipalities. However, the analysis of environmental and social characteristics showed that although coastal municipalities are more developed from a purely economic point of view, when considered other aspects of development these municipalities perform worse. / O objetivo principal da tese ? analisar o n?vel de qualidade de vida entre os munic?pios costeiros e n?o costeiros do Brasil associado ?s dimens?es ambiental, econ?mica e social. Os objetivos espec?ficos constituem-se em: caracterizar a estrutura s?cio econ?mica dos munic?pios costeiros e n?o costeiros e identificar se existem diferenciais de qualidade de vida da popula??o. Para tanto, foram utilizados como referencial te?rico a abordagem do desenvolvimento humano e Geografia Econ?mica de modo a definir qualidade de vida e bem-estar, bem como as caracter?sticas econ?micas e sociais que est?o relacionadas com esses conceitos. A utiliza??o desse referencial te?rico permitiu alcan?ar tamb?m uma melhor defini??o das dimens?es de an?lise para, a partir de ent?o, proceder ? an?lise emp?rica utilizando-se o m?todo Propensity Score Matching (PSM). Buscou-se, assim, identificar as diferen?as de qualidade de vida entre a zona costeira e n?o costeira brasileira. A an?lise emp?rica realizada sugere evid?ncias contr?rias ao senso comum de que em regi?es com maior potencial de concentra??o de atividades econ?micas h? maior qualidade de vida. No que diz respeito ?s caracter?sticas econ?micas, os resultados encontrados corroboram a teoria, mostrando que existe, de fato, flagrante concentra??o econ?mica nos munic?pios costeiros. No entanto, a an?lise das caracter?sticas ambientais e sociais mostraram que embora os munic?pios costeiros sejam mais desenvolvidos do ponto de vista puramente econ?mico, quando considerados outros aspectos do desenvolvimento esses munic?pios apresentam desempenho pior.

This paper uses the Optimal Hedge Ratio and Hedge Effectiveness through multivariate GARCH models with error correction, attempting to the possible phenomenon of Optimal Hedge Ratio differential during the crop and intercrop period. The Optimal Hedge Ratio must be bigger in the intercrop period due to the uncertainty related to a possible supply shock (LAZZARINI, 2010). Among the future contracts studied in this research, the coffee, ethanol and soybean contracts were not object of this phenomenon investigation, yet. Furthermore, the corn and ethanol contracts were not object of researches which deal with Dynamic Hedging Strategy. This paper distinguishes itself for including the GARCH model with error correction, which it was never considered when the possible Optimal Hedge Ratio differential during the crop and intercrop period were investigated. The commodities quotation were used as future price in the market future of BM&FBOVESPA and as spot market, the CEPEA index, in the period from May 2010 to June 2013 to cattle, coffee, ethanol and corn, and to August 2012 to soybean, with daily frequency. Similar results were achieved for all the commodities. There is a long term relationship among the spot market and future market, bicausality and the spot market and future market of cattle, coffee, ethanol and corn, and unicausality of the future price of soybean on spot price. The Optimal Hedge Ratio was estimated from three different strategies: linear regression by MQO, BEKK-GARCH diagonal model, and BEKK-GARCH diagonal with intercrop dummy. The MQO regression model, pointed out the Hedge inefficiency, taking into consideration that the Optimal Hedge presented was too low. The second model represents the strategy of dynamic hedge, which collected time variations in the Optimal Hedge. The last Hedge strategy did not detect Optimal Hedge Ratio differential between the crop and intercrop period, therefore, unlikely what they expected, the investor do not need increase his/her investment in the future market during the intercrop / Esta pesquisa objetivou investigar a efici?ncia e raz?o ?tima de hedge para os mercados futuro de boi, caf?, etanol, milho e soja. Este trabalho tratou a raz?o ?tima e efetividade de hedge atrav?s de modelos GARCH multivariados com termo de corre??o de erro, atentando para o poss?vel fen?meno de diferenciais de raz?o ?tima de hedge nos per?odos de safra e entressafra. A raz?o ?tima de hedge deve ser maior na entressafra devido ? maior incerteza com rela??o a um poss?vel choque de oferta (LAZZARINI, 2010). Dentre os contratos futuros tratados nesta pesquisa, os contratos de caf?, etanol e soja ainda n?o foram objeto de investiga??o desse fen?meno. Al?m disso, os contratos futuros de milho e etanol ainda n?o foram objeto de pesquisas que tratam de estrat?gias de hedge din?mico. Este trabalho se diferencia ainda por incluir o mecanismo de corre??o de erro na modelagem GARCH, o que nunca foi considerado ao se investigar poss?veis diferenciais de raz?o ?tima de hedge nos per?odos de safra e entressafra. Foram utilizadas como pre?o futuro das commodities as cota??es das mesmas no mercado futuro da BM&FBOVESPA e como pre?o ? vista o ?ndice CEPEA, no per?odo de maio de 2010 a junho de 2013 para boi, caf?, etanol e milho e at? agosto de 2012 para a soja, com frequ?ncia di?ria. Foram obtidos resultados semelhantes para todas as commodities. H? rela??o de longo prazo entre os mercados ? vista e futuro, bicausalidade entre os pre?os ? vista e futuro do boi, caf?, etanol e milho, e unicausalidade do pre?o futuro da soja sobre o pre?o ? vista. A raz?o ?tima de hedge foi estimada a partir de tr?s diferentes estrat?gias: regress?o linear por MQO, modelo BEKK-GARCH diagonal e modelo BEKK-GARCH diagonal com dummy de entresssafra. O modelo de regress?o por MQO apontou para a inefici?ncia de hedge, tendo em vista que as raz?es ?timas apresentadas foram muito baixas. O segundo modelo, que representa a estrat?gia de hedge din?mico, captou varia??es temporais na raz?o ?tima. A ?ltima estrat?gia de hedge n?o detectou diferencial de raz?es ?timas de hedge entre os per?odos de safra e entressafra, logo, ao contr?rio do que se esperava, o investidor n?o precisa aumentar seu investimento no mercado futuro durante a entressafra

They are responsible for adverse effects on the environment. Renewables propose solutions for this scenario, but must face issues related to the capacity of the power supply. Wind energy offshore emerging as a promising alternative. The speed and stability are greater winds over oceans, but the variability of these may cause inconvenience to the generation of electric power fluctuations. To reduce this, a combination of wind farms geographically distributed was proposed. The greater the distance between them, the lower the correlation between the wind velocity, increasing the likelihood that together achieve more stable power system with less fluctuations in power generation. The efficient use of production capacity of the wind park however, depends on their distribution in marine environments. The objective of this research was to analyze the optimal allocation of wind farms offshore on the east coast of the U.S. by Modern Portfolio Theory. The Modern Portfolio Theory was used so that the process of building portfolios of wind energy offshore contemplate the particularity of intermittency of wind, through calculations of return and risk of the production of wind farms. The research was conducted with 25.934 observations of energy produced by wind farms 11 hypothetical offshore, from the installation of 01 simulated ocean turbine with a capacity of 5 MW. The data show hourly time resolution and covers the period between January 1, 1998 until December 31, 2002. Through the Matlab R software, six were calculated minimum variance portfolios, each for a period of time distinct. Given the inequality of the variability of wind over time, set up four strategies rebalancing to evaluate the performance of the related portfolios, which enabled us to identify the most beneficial to the stability of the wind energy production offshore. The results showed that the production of wind energy for 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 should be considered by the portfolio weights calculated for the same periods, respectively. Energy data for 2002 should use the weights derived from the portfolio calculated in the previous time period. Finally, the production of wind energy in the period 1998-2002 should also be weighted by 1/11. It follows therefore that the portfolios found failed to show reduced levels of variability when compared to the individual production of wind farms hypothetical offshore / O consumo de energia no planeta ? atualmente baseado no uso de combust?veis f?sseis. Eles s?o respons?veis por efeitos negativos sobre o meio-ambiente. As energias renov?veis prop?em solu??es para esse cen?rio, mas devem encarar quest?es relacionadas ? capacidade de fornecimento de energia. A energia e?lica offshore desponta como uma alternativa promissora. A velocidade e estabilidade dos ventos s?o maiores sobre oceanos, mas a variabilidade dos mesmos pode provocar flutua??es inconvenientes ? gera??o de energia el?trica. Para diminuir isso, uma combina??o de parques e?licos distribu?dos geograficamente foi proposta. Quanto maior a dist?ncia entre eles, menor a correla??o entre a velocidade dos ventos, aumentando a probabilidade de que produzam conjuntamente um sistema de energia mais est?vel, com menos flutua??es da produ??o de energia. O uso eficiente da capacidade de produ??o dos parques e?licos, entretanto, depende da distribui??o deles em ambientes mar?timos. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a aloca??o ?tima de parques e?licos offshore na costa leste dos EUA, atrav?s da Moderna Teoria de Carteiras. A Moderna Teoria de Carteiras foi empregada de modo que o processo de constru??o das carteiras de energia e?lica offshore contemplasse a particularidade da intermit?ncia dos ventos, atrav?s dos c?lculos de retorno e risco da produ??o dos parques e?licos. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com 25.934 observa??es de energia, produzidas por 11 parques e?licos offshore hipot?ticos, a partir da instala??o simulada de 01 turbina oce?nica com capacidade m?xima de 5 MW. Os dados apresentam resolu??o de tempo hor?ria e cobrem o per?odo entre 01 de janeiro de 1998 at? 31 de dezembro de 2002. Por meio do software Matlab R , foram calculadas seis carteiras de m?nima vari?ncia, cada qual para um per?odo de tempo distinto. Diante da desigualdade da variabilidade dos ventos no tempo, estabeleceu-se quatro estrat?gias de rebalanceamento para avaliar o desempenho das carteiras calculadas, o que possibilitou identificar a mais ben?fica ? estabilidade da produ??o de energia e?lica offshore. Os resultados apontaram que a produ??o de energia e?lica dos anos de 1998, 1999, 2000 e 2001 deve ser ponderada pelos pesos das carteiras calculadas nos mesmos per?odos, respectivamente. Os dados de energia de 2002 devem utilizar os pesos oriundos da carteira calculada no per?odo de tempo anterior. Por fim, a produ??o de energia e?lica do per?odo entre 1998-2002 deve ser igualmente ponderada por 1/11. Conclui-se assim que as carteiras encontradas conseguiram demonstrar n?veis de variabilidade reduzidos quando comparados aos da produ??o individual dos parques e?licos offshore hipot?ticos

Such practice exists so that people settle temporarily on the beach as a second home, interfering in the Regulation of the land use as well as in the urban planning of Tibau, promoting urbanization based in the logic of leisure, with enormous capacity for appropriation and space consumption. The practice of Maritime Villeggiatura in Tibau began in the late nineteenth century, becoming more relevant in the 1980s, when the practice became fashionable for the citizens of Mossor? City, in view of their economic strength, and consumption power to invest in this type of domicile. Tibau has become a great depository of second homes for leisure practice, which contributed even to the city administrative and political emancipation in 1997. The intensification of Real Estate activities, expanding second homes along the coast, results in the urbanization of Tibau territory with the assistance of Local Government, whom was interested in entering Tibau on the State tourism routes. The used methodology comprised literature review, data collection and local observation. Questionnaires were applied in the form of interviews to the villeggiaturistas, local residents, business and trade services local companies, a local agricultural firm named Agricultura Famosa Ltda., Municipal government and the Association of Senior Citizens of the municipality of Tibau. A photographic record was made to visualize the urbanization evolution of Tibau. It has also been taken georeference measures of the area object of study in this research, in order to analyze the use and occupation of the territory by urban and social agents villeggiaturistas and residents. The conclusion is that the urbanization process that has been taken in Tibau occurred along the coast shore, with low population density, and therefore creating difficulties to governance of the Municipal government. Real Estate Sector has been promoting the value increase of urban land in order to fragment the space with private condominiums segregating local resident population to outlying areas of the city, away from the coastline and lacking infrastructure and basic urban services / A pesquisa objetiva analisar o processo de urbaniza??o que vem ocorrendo no munic?pio litor?neo de Tibau/RN no per?odo que compreende 1980-2012, decorrente da (re) produ??o do espa?o para o consumo do ?cio e do lazer, por meio da pr?tica da Vilegiatura Mar?tima. Essa pr?tica visa fixar-se temporariamente na praia em segundas resid?ncias, interferindo no ordenamento e no uso do territ?rio urbano de Tibau, promovendo uma urbaniza??o pautada na l?gica do lazer, com enorme capacidade de apropria??o e consumo do espa?o. A pr?tica da Vilegiatura Mar?tima em Tibau iniciou-se no fim do s?culo XIX, tornando-se mais relevante na d?cada de 1980, quando tal pr?tica vira moda para os mossoroenses, diante de sua pujan?a econ?mica, como poder de consumo para investir nesse tipo de domic?lio. Tibau passa a ser um grande deposit?rio de segundas resid?ncias para a pr?tica do lazer, o que contribuiu, inclusive, para a sua emancipa??o pol?tica e administrativa em 1997. A intensifica??o das atividades do Setor Imobili?rio, expandindo as segundas resid?ncias ao longo do litoral, acaba por zonear o territ?rio urbano de Tibau com o aux?lio do Poder P?blico local, este interessado em inserir o munic?pio na rota tur?stica do Estado. A metodologia utilizada compreendeu levantamento bibliogr?fico, coleta de dados e observa??o em locus. Foram aplicados question?rios em forma de entrevistas aos vilegiaturistas, residentes, empres?rios de com?rcio e servi?os, a empresa de fruticultura Agr?cola Famosa Ltda., Poder P?blico Municipal e a Associa??o de Idosos do munic?pio. Foi feito o registro fotogr?fico, para visualizar a evolu??o da urbaniza??o de Tibau. Procedeu-se ao georeferenciamento do espa?o em foco, a fim de analisar o uso e ocupa??o do territ?rio urbano pelos agentes sociais vilegiaturistas e residentes. Conclui-se que a urbaniza??o que vem ocorrendo em Tibau se d? de forma estendida ao longo do litoral, com baixa densidade demogr?fica, e por isso de dif?cil governan?a por parte do poder p?blico municipal. Onde o Setor Imobili?rio vem promovendo a valoriza??o do solo urbano, de modo a fragmentar o espa?o com condom?nios fechados e segregar a popula??o de residentes para as ?reas perif?ricas da cidade, cada vez mais longe da faixa litor?nea e com car?ncias de infraestrutura e servi?os urbanos b?sicos
