O objetivo desta dissertação é entender as concepções de tempo e espaço presentes nos códices mexicas produzidos no período colonial inicial, entendendo-as como parte das concepções de história desse povo. Para alcançar esse objetivo foram analisadas centralmente as representações de calendário e lugares políticos e de paisagem em cinco narrativas históricas contidas nos códices mexicas produzidos durante os séculos XVI e início do XVII: Boturini, Mendoza, Aubin, Vaticano A e Manuscrito 40, manuscritos compostos por textos pictoglíficos e alfabéticos, produzidos pelas elites mexicas e seus descendentes, a partir de demandas nativas, castelhanas e missionárias. As representações temporais e espaciais levantadas nas narrativas foram cotejadas com exemplos de origem pré-hispânica, contidos nos códices mixtecos e nos monumentos e gravados em pedra mexicas, com a finalidade de inferir possíveis relações com permanências e transformações das concepções de tempo e espaço dos mexicas durante o período colonial inicial. O entendimento desse conjunto de concepções, centrados nas representações de calendário e de lugares políticos e de paisagem contidas nas narrativas históricas mexicas, pode contribuir para compreender como as elites mexicas e seus descendentes concebiam sua própria história após a conquista castelhana. / This Master thesis aims to comprehend the conceptions of time and space in the colonial Mexica or Aztec codices, assuming them as part of the Mexicas conceptions of history. To achieve this objective, the representations of calendar signs, political and landscape places were centrally analyzed in five historical narratives from Mexica codices produced during the 16th and early 17th centuries: Boturini, Mendoza, Aubin, Vaticano A and Manuscrito 40. These manuscripts produced by the Mexicas elites and their descendants, based on native, Castilian and missionary demands were composed by pictoglyphic and alphabetical texts. The time and space representations were analyzed and compared to pre-Hispanic samples at Mixtec codices and Mexicas stone monuments, for the purpose of infer the possible relations of persistence and transformation on the Mexicas conceptions of time and space during the early colonial period. The comprehension of this set of conceptions, centrally on the representations of calendar signs, political and landscape places, may contribute to understand how the Mexicas elites and their descendants conceived their own history after the Castilian conquest.

Esta pesquisa analisa e compara modelos atuais de organização de escolas voltadas para atender exclusivamente jovens e adultos com baixa escolaridade. Para isso, recorreu-se à modalidade de pesquisa qualitativa, conhecida como estudo de casos múltiplos. A pesquisa emergiu da constatação de que apesar dos avanços no plano legal e nas políticas educacionais das últimas décadas, persiste, no Brasil, uma expressiva demanda potencial para a Educação de Pessoas Jovens e Adultos (EPJA), posta à margem pelo sistema público de ensino, além do declínio no número de matrículas e de persistirem os altos índices de abandono dos estudantes desta modalidade. A tese sustenta que um dos principais motivos para tal paradoxo é a rigidez da organização escolar que dificulta o atendimento da diversidade presente na EPJA e a persistência do paradigma da educação compensatória, que sustenta práticas pouco condizentes com o perfil do público jovem e adulto. Com base em evidências de pesquisas anteriores, a investigação opera com a hipótese de que escolas organizadas para atender exclusivamente a EPJA respondem de modo mais apropriado às necessidades e condições de aprendizagem deste grupo social e geracional, ao invés dos cursos noturnos oferecidos em escolas organizadas para atender prioritariamente crianças e adolescentes. Para verificar tal hipótese, o estudo foi desenvolvido em três centros públicos: o Centro Integrado de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (CIEJA) Marlúcia Gonçalves de Abreu, localizado na Zona Leste da cidade de São Paulo; o Centro Municipal de Ensino Fundamental e Educação de Jovens e Adultos (CEMEFEJA) Paulo Freire, situado no centro da cidade de Campinas, e a Escola de Adultos La Verneda-Sant Martí, localizada no bairro Sant Martí, em Barcelona, Espanha. Os estudos de caso seguiram um protocolo comum a partir do qual foram levantados os seguintes aspectos em cada uma das instituições: perfil socioeconômico e cultural dos educandos; perfil dos educadores em relação às condições de trabalho e oportunidades de formação continuada; as instalações físicas; a assistência aos estudantes; o currículo e as propostas pedagógicas; a flexibilidade da organização dos tempos e espaços de aprendizagem; a gestão escolar; o comportamento das matrículas, o fluxo e o rendimento escolar, bem como os índices de certificação. O estudo revelou que o fato de estarem focados nas questões que circundam as especificidades da EJA favorece a flexibilidade para atender de modo mais satisfatório as necessidades e possibilidades deste público de acessar e permanecer na escola, o que não impede que algumas práticas pedagógicas e de gestão recaiam no paradigma da educação compensatória, sobretudo nos casos do CIEJA e do CEMEFEJA, com exceção feita à Escola de Adultos La Verneda-Sant Martí, pois ela se aproxima da concepção de educação permanente, ao longo da vida, em perspectiva crítica, sobretudo em relação à gestão, realizada por duas associações dirigidas por estudantes, com participação paritária de toda a comunidade escolar e do entorno. / The research analyses and compares current organization models of schools dedicated exclusively to the attend of young people and adults with low schooling. This research came from the observation that despite advances in the legal and educational policies of the last decades, there remains a huge potential demand for Youth and Adult Education (EJA - Educação de Jovens e Adultos -), which is not being covered by the public school system, in contrast , there has been a decline in the number of enrollments and the high dropout rates of students of this modality persist. The thesis argues that one of the main reasons for this paradox is the rigidity of school organization which makes it difficult to attend to the diversity present in the EJA and the persistence of the compensatory education paradigm, which supports practices that are inconsistent with the profile of young and adult public. Based on evidence from previous researches, this research works with the hypothesis that schools that are organized to attend exclusively the EJA respond more appropriately to the needs and learning conditions of this social and generational group than the evening courses offered in schools that are organized to attend primarily children and adolescents. To verify this hypothesis, the study was developed in three public centers: the Integrated Center for Youth and Adult Education (CIEJA - Centro Integrado de Educação de Jovens e Adultos) Marlúcia Gonçalves de Abreu, located in the East Zone of the city of São Paulo; the Municipal Center of Elementary Education and Youth and Adult Education (CEMEFEJA - Centro Municipal de Ensino Fundamental e Educação de Jovens e Adultos) Paulo Freire, located in the center of the city of Campinas and the La Verneda-Sant Martí Adult School, located in the Sant Martí neighborhood in Barcelona, Spain. The case studies followed a common protocol from which the following aspects were raised in each of the institutions: the students\' socioeconomic and cultural profile; the teachers\' profile regarding working conditions and opportunities for continuing education; the physical facilities; the student assistance; the curriculum and pedagogical proposals; the flexibility of the organization of learning times and spaces; the school management; the enrollments behavior, school flow and achievement, as well as certification rates. The study revealed that the fact that they are focused on the issues that surround the specificities of the EJA favors the flexibility to meet in a more satisfactory way the needs and possibilities of this public to access education and to remain in school, which does not prevent some pedagogical and management practices from falling into the compensatory education paradigm, especially in the cases of CIEJA and CEMEFEJA. Exception made to the La Verneda-Sant Martí Adult School which approaches the concept of lifelong education in a critical-emancipatory perspective, especially in relation to management, which is carried out by two student-led associations, with equal participation of the entire school community and the surrounding community.

Pretendeu-se compreender como tempo e espaço são vividos e se desvelam na prática pedagógica dessas educadoras. Considerando que os atributos espaciais e temporais -- construídos socialmente e essenciais para o estabelecimento de relações com o mundo são fatores importantes de nossas experiências e ferramentas fundamentais para sistematizar nossa relação com a realidade externa, buscou-se um embasamento teórico capaz de trazer à luz as concepções de tempo e espaço e a relação destas noções com a prática pedagógica. No intuito de entender a dinâmica em que o fenômeno se constituía e compreender a vivência de tempo e espaço, a abordagem fenomenológica foi escolhida. Este método, de natureza descritiva, supõe a exclusão de pressupostos a respeito daquilo que se vai estudar e aponta para a descrição do fenômeno tal como ele vai sendo apresentado à experiência de quem o vê. Propõe, também, a busca dos elementos constitutivos do fenômeno observado, excluindo elementos causais e focalizando as constâncias. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma creche, da periferia de São Paulo, administrada pela Associação de Moradores do bairro e conveniada à Prefeitura Municipal. Quatro educadoras foram observadas das turmas B2, de crianças de 1 ano e 6 meses a 1 ano e 11 meses; do G2, de 2 anos a 2 anos e 11 meses; do G3, de 3 anos a 3 anos e 11 meses; e do G4, 4 anos a 4 anos e 11 meses -- duas destas educadoras foram entrevistas, assim como a Coordenadora Pedagógica. Os dados coletados foram organizados em constelações, analisados e, concluímos que para estas educadoras, o tempo e o espaço vividos apontaram para um reconhecimento de objetos e de si mesmas no mundo como uma limitação de linguagem, de experiências e de exploração de possibilidades

Selon une démarche relevant autant de la linguistique formelle que de la linguistique appliquée, le présent travail vise à analyser trois « faits de langue » qui posent aux francophones des problèmes d’acquisition : 1) l’emploi des temps verbaux, 2) le choix modal et 3) l’opposition ser/estar. Nous utilisons l’appareil critique de la linguistique formelle afin d’analyser l’organisation des temps verbaux. Nous les considérons comme des déictiques et, pour leur analyse, proposons de ne pas détacher la notion d’espace de celle de temps. De plus, nous introduisons deux notions qui nous permettent d’expliquer les valeurs modales de ces déictiques : celle d’espace épistémique (siège du locuteur) et celle de centre déictique (espace depuis lequel le locuteur organise son discours). Par ailleurs, nous tentons de montrer l’influence que jouent les procédés de topicalisation (thème/rhème) sur le choix du temps et du mode verbal. Quant à l’opposition ser/estar plus spécifiquement, nous nous intéressons aux nuances aspectuelles véhiculées par ces verbes, à savoir dynamique vs statif. Ce travail de systématisation est complété par une démarche propre à la linguistique appliquée et notamment à la recherche en acquisition (RALE) et en didactique (DLE). Une étude transversale en RALE nous permet de décrire l’IL d’un groupe échantillon d’étudiants universitaires francophones de niveau B2. Nous avons également mené trois études de cas en DLE avec des étudiants universitaires de première et deuxième années de licence d’espagnol. Ces études en RALE et DLE permettent de cerner les règles qui régissent les trois faits de langue étudiés, tant en espagnol qu’en français. / Under a multidisciplinary approach that combines linguistics, foreign language acquisition and applied linguistics, this dissertation aims to analyze three features of the Spanish language that French-speaking learners find hard to master and use effectively 1) past tenses, 2) modal choice and 3) ser vs estar. We consider tenses as deictics and, therefore, we propose not to separate them from the notions of time and space. Moreover, the existence of an epistemic space (the speaker’s situation) and a deictic centre (the space from which the speaker organizes his utterance) will enable us to explain the modal values of the tenses. Furthermore, we intend to demonstrate that the organization topic-comment influences the choice of the tense and the mood in a sentence. As for the difference between ser and estar, we focus on the aspectual nuances (dynamic versus static) that each verb carries. Our conclusions in linguistics are completed by case studies: one case study in foreign language acquisition and three case studies in applied linguistics. Through a cross-sectional study in language acquisition, we have been able to describe the interlanguage of a sample group whose subjects were French monolingual college students. We also carried three study cases in order to determine how our teaching, which was inspired by the analysis of these features, helped first and second year French college students perform better. The case studies in foreign language acquisition and applied linguistics have helped us to identify the rules that govern these features of the Spanish language.

Early in the genesis of Mauritian Creole (MC), the quantificational determiners of its lexifier language, French, incorporated into a large number of the nouns that they combined with, resulting in the occurrence of bare nouns in argument positions, yielding (in)definite, singular, plural and generic interpretations. These early changes were accompanied by the loss all inflectional morphology, as well as the loss of the French copula, and that of the Case assigning prepositions à ('of') and de ('of') which are used in partitive and genitive constructions respectively. I argue that these changes triggered a parametric shift in noun denotation, from predicative in French to argumental in MC, and account for the fact that MC has a very different determiner system from its lexifier. My analysis is motivated by both Longobardi's (1994) claim that only DPs can be arguments, NPs cannot, and Chierchia's (1998b) seemingly incompatible claim that N can be an argument when it is Kind denoting. I provide detailed account of the emergence of the new MC determiners, from their first attestations in the early 18th century, to the end of the 19th century, when the determiner system settles into a form that is still used today. Following an analysis of the modern MC determiner system, I propose that MC nouns are lexically stored as argumental, Kind denoting terms, which share some of the distributional properties of English bare plurals, such as their ability to occur in argument positions without a determiner. The new quantificational determiners are analyzed as 'type shifting operators' that shift Kinds and predicate nominals into argumental noun phrases. The singular indefinite article enn and the plural marker bann assign existential quantification over instances of Kind denoting count nouns, and the null definite determiner is an operator that quantifies over the totality of a set. The differential behaviour of MC count vs. mass nouns is accounted for in terms of the Number argument which must be realized for common count nouns. Some seemingly 'bare' nouns comprise a phonologically null definite determiner equivalent to French le/la and English the. Subject-object asymmetry of count nouns in MC provides evidence for the occurrence of this null element which requires licensing in certain syntactic environments. The Specificity marker la, which serves to mark anaphoric definiteness, is shown to be a 'last resort' means of licensing the null definite determiner. My syntactic analysis is within Chomsky's (1995b) Minimalist framework and a Formal Semantics (Partee 1986), both of which stipulate legitimate operator variable constructions. The loss of the French quantificational determiners, and that of the copula meant that early MC lacked overt sources of quantification at both the nominal and clausal levels. In my analysis of the emerging MC determiner system, I look at the new sources of quantification that arise in order to establish the referential properties of nouns, and I show how these various strategies are linked to the means by which the semantic features of Definiteness, Deixis, Number and Specificity are expressed, and also the means by which the syntactic function of predication is realized.

This thesis is targeted at precoding methods and resource allocation for the downlink of fixed multi-user multi-antenna broadband wireless systems. We explore different utilizations of precoders in transmission over frequency-selective channels. We first consider the weighted sum-rate (WSR) maximization problem for multi-carrier systems using linear precoding and propose a low complexity algorithm which exhibits near-optimal performance. Moreover, we offer a novel rate allocation method that utilizes the signalto- noise-ratio (SNR) gap to capacity concept to choose the rates to allocate to each data stream. We then study a single-carrier transmission scheme that overcomes known impairments associated with multi-carrier systems. The proposed scheme utilizes timereversal space-time block coding (TR-STBC) to orthogonalize the downlink receivers and performs the required pre-equalization using Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP).We finally discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed method.

The aim of this dissertation is to study exchange students’ movement and exchange studies as a trajectory in time and space. The dissertation is based on interviews with fourteen Korean exchange students at Swedish universities. The theoretical framework is based on Actor–Network Theory (ANT). ANT argues that everything that does something is an actor (human and non-human) and that an actor cannot be separated from a network that acts through the actor. ANT also argues that one’s location is not explained only in terms of Euclidean space and time but also in terms of spatiality and temporality, which are a network’s production. The dissertation shows that the students were enrolled and mobilized in the exchange programs by heterogeneous actors and that there were specific network spaces that produced exchange students at the home universities. The exchange students were excluded at the Swedish host universities by being formally included without direction. At the host universities, they went off course from their educational trajectories because the curriculum disappeared during their exchange studies. The dissertation also shows that the exchange students were enrolled and mobilized in the networks of “international students” at the host universities. Theses exchange students instead moved in the same way as the other exchange students, which stabilized the networks of “international students” at the host universities. It describes how the exchange students acted at a distance as actor of networks in Korea. When they returned, many of them had to prolong their educational period. This was a result of the translation of exchange studies at the home universities. In this dissertation, it shows that the exchange program was performed not only by individual exchange students; rather, it was performed in the associations of heterogeneous actors. / Syftet med avhandlingen är att undersöka utbytesstudenters rörelser och utbytesstudier som banor i tid och rum. Avhandlingen baseras på intervjuer med fjorton koreanska utbytesstudenter som vistats på olika svenska värduniversitet. Den teoretiska referensramen grundar sig i Actor-Network Theory (ANT). ANT argumenterar för att allt som gör något är en aktör, oavsett om den är mänsklig eller icke-mänsklig. En aktör kan inte urskiljas från nätverket vilken agerar genom aktören. Aktörens lokalisering kan inte enbart förklaras i termer av det euklidiska rummet och tiden, utan också i termer av rumslighet och tolkningar av tidsförloppen vilka är nätverksprodukter. Avhandlingen visar att studenterna enrollerades och mobiliserades till utbytesprogrammen av heterogena aktörer och att det fanns specifika rum där utbytesstudenterna skapades. På värduniversiteten exkluderades de genom att formellt inkluderas i olika kurser utan att dessa ofta hade någon riktning i deras studier. Utbytesstudenternas studier kom ur kurs jämfört med deras ordinarie utbildningar eftersom en läroplan saknades på värduniversiteten. Avhandlingen visar att utbytesstudenterna enrollerades och mobiliserades in i nätverk av de internationella studenterna på värduniversiteten. Utbytesstudenterna rörde sig på samma sätt som andra utbytesstudenter, vilket stabiliserade nätverken av ”internationella studenter” på värduniversiteten. I avhandlingen beskrivs även utbytesstudenternas fortsatta agerande som aktörer i nätverken i Korea. När de återvänt till Korea behövde de flesta förlänga sin utbildningstid och detta var ett resultat av hur utbytesperioden tillgodoräknades på hemuniversiteten. Det var ett resultat av översättningen i utbytesprogrammen på hemuniversiteten. Avhandlingen visar att utbytesprogrammen inte enbart genomfördes av de individuella utbytesstudenterna; snarare genomfördes de i förbindelser med heterogena (mänskliga och icke-mänskliga) aktörer.

Eugène Ionesco est un «nouveau classique» dont la dramaturgie est à la fois en rupture avec la dramaturgie traditionnelle et en progrès sur elle, la dramaturgie ionescienne est alors labyrinthique. Les composants de cette dramaturgie sont également labyrinthiques : la construction dramatique, les personnages, le langage, le temps et l'espace. Ce labyrinthe total mène à une absurdité totale celle de l'indécision et de déséquilibre. Pour envisager cette absurdité, l'homme ionescien a recours à la révolte, à l'indifférence et au rêve, mais il se heurte toujours à sa condition tragique d'un errant sans racines ni buts. Il ne lui reste alors que le rire, d'où la naissance d'un comique à la recherche de son identité. C'est le comique problématique d'Eugène Ionesco. L'aspect problématique de ce comique est dû aux points suivants : premièrement, sa naissance dans une ambiance labyrinthique crée l'absurde qui rend incertaine même l'humanité de l'homme. Deuxièmement, ce nouveau comique s'inspire du comique classique de Molière, mais son essence n'est plus d'instruire, de corriger ou de plaire mais de réfléchir. Troisièmement, ce comique révèle la condition tragique de l'homme par des scènes qui augmentent l'angoisse au lieu de la dissiper. Par conséquent, c'est un comique problématique soit par rapport au tragique, soit par rapport au rire qui devient, à son tour, un effet du tragique. C'est pour cette raison que ce comique reste ouvert à de multiples hypothèses même celle de son inexistence. / Eugene Ionesco is a "new classic" which is both dramatic break with the traditional drama and progress on it, the ionesco's dramatic is so labyrinthine. The components of this dramatic are labyrinthine: the dramatic structure, personages, language, time and space. This total maze leads to the utter nonsense of indecision and imbalance. To consider this absurdity, the ionescien man uses the revolt, indifference and dreams, but he still faces his tragic condition of a rootless wanderer or goals. He is left while laughing, hence the birth of a comic in search of his identity. This is the comic problematic of Eugene Ionesco. The problematic of this comic appearance is due to the following points: first, his birth in a labyrinthine environment creates the absurd makes uncertain even the humanity of man. Second, this new comic inspired by the classic Molière comic, but its essence is not to instruct, correct or pleasing but to reflect. Thirdly, the comic reveals the tragic condition of man by scenes that increase anxiety rather than dissipate. Therefore, this problematic is a comic or tragic compared to or relative to laughter becomes, in turn, an effect of tragedy. It is for this reason that this comic remains open to many assumptions even of its nonexistence.
