This dissertation examines the life and work of the Jewish writer Uri-Nisn Gnesin (1879-1913). Living in Russia, using Yiddish in his daily life, and writing prose in Hebrew, Gnesin was part of a multicultural and multilingual generation, which was too assimilated to live the traditional life of its fathers, and yet, not able to break with it completely. For many Russian Jews, this dual identity, rarely recognized in modern scholarly discourse on Hebrew literature, resulted in psychological discomfort, feelings of guilt, and other traumas. Addressing this identity crisis, I show how the worldview of an assimilated Russian Jew is reflected in Gnesin’s Hebrew fiction. I offer an alternative view of Gnesin as a Jewish-Russian writer whose dual identity played a more complex role in his literary work and whose influence transcended a simple knowledge of languages or classic texts. It was not merely a language or a book, but the unique Jewish-Slavic atmosphere of small Eastern European towns that provided Gnesin with all the models necessary for thinking, feeling, and writing. In my study, I consider theories of canonization to demonstrate the reason why Gnesin has first and foremost been categorized as a Hebrew writer. Contemporary scholars of modern Hebrew fiction generally agree that Gnesin’s fiction is secular due to the non-Jewish associative infrastructure of his work. By exploring the historical and spiritual conditions of Gnesin’s generation, I attempt to overcome the limitations of such a view, which overemphasizes the role of language in his development as a writer. A functional analysis of Gnesin’s literary language maintains that although he found his best form of expression in literary Hebrew, it appeared mostly in the final stages of his writing. I propose that Gnesin and that whole generation of modern Hebrew writers used a special “hyper-language” consisting of three integral parts: a natively spoken language, a commonly spoken non-Jewish national language, and a written literary language. Ultimately, Gnesin appears to be a fin de siècle writer who used Hebrew language as a sophisticated tool to propagate his troubled Jewish-Russian experience. / text

Durante as escavações realizadas no local entre os anos de 2010 e 2013, ossadas de mamíferos de grande porte, atualmente extintos, conhecidos como animais da megafauna, típicos do período quaternário,foram encontradas nas camadas mais profundas da lagoa. Este trabalho apresenta os resultados das datações por espectroscopia por ressonância paramagnética eletrônica (RPE) realizadas em amostras de dentes, provenientes das ossadas da megafauna encontradas na Lagoa Uri de Cima: 1 dente da espécie Hippidion bonaerensis, 2 dentes da família Toxodontidae, e 2 dentes de espécie Haplomastodon waring. Sedimentos em diferentes níveis estratigráficos da lagoa também foram analisados e datados pela técnica de luminescência opticamente estimulada (LOE). As doses acumuladas nas amostras de dentes e sedimentos foram determinadas, respectivamente, através dos métodos de doses aditavas e doses regenerativas. A taxa de dose anual foi estimada através da determinação dos teores de urânio, tório e potássio presentes nas amostras de dentes analisadas, bem como nos sedimentos do local. Para as amostras de dentes, as taxas de dose anual e idades foram estimadas através dos programas ROSY e DATA, que levam em consideração fatores como umidade e forma como o urânio foi incorporado pelos tecidos dentários, através dos modelos de captação: precoce (CP), linear (CL) e combinado (CC). Para as amostras de sedimentos, foi utilizado o programa AGE. Em relação a datação dos dentes, valores semelhantes de taxas de dose anual e idades para cada amostra foram obtidos através dos dois programas. As maiores e menores idades estimadas foram, respectivamente, para a espécie Hippidion bonaerensis: 20 ± 0,90mil anos (CP), 22 ± 0,70mil anos (CL),20± 0,80 mil anos (CC); e Haplomastodon waring: 13 ± 0,70mil anos (CP), 15 ± 0,80mil anos (CL),13 ± 0,80 kanos (CC). Em relação à datação dos sedimentos, os resultados obtidos estão dentro das perspectivas dos arqueólogos que estudam a formação geológica do sítio Lagoa do Uri de Cima, tendo sido estimado para o nível mais superficial da lagoa a idade de 3,6 ± 0,60mil anos e para o nível mais profundo 152 ± 16mil anos. Levandose em consideração os níveis estratigráficos em que os dentes da megafauna foram coletados, as idades estimadas para os dentes mostram uma coerência com as idades estimadas para os sedimentos coletados nos diferentes níveis estratigráficos da lagoa através da técnica de datação por LOE, permitindo uma maior confiabilidade para a datação dos sedimentos. Além disso, este trabalho contribuiu para a implantação da técnica de datação de dentes por espectroscopia RPE no laboratório do Grupo de Metrologia Arqueológica e Patrimonial (MAP) da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), o que permitirá auxiliar outras pesquisas arqueológicas e geológicas realizadas em outros sítios, além das realizadas no sítio Lagoa Uri de Cima. / the municipality of Salgueiro, in Pernambuco state, Brazil. During the excavations at this site, between the years 2010 and 2013, fossils of large mammal, presently extinct, also known as megafauna animals, typical of the quaternary period, were found in the lower layers on bottom of this lake. This study presents the results of electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy dating performed on samples of teeth from megafauna fossils found in "Lagoa Uri de Cima" site: a Hippidion bonaerensis tooth, two Toxodontidae teeth, and two Haplomastodon waring teeth. Sediments from different stratigraphic levels of the lake were also analyzed and dated by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). Cumulative doses from the teeth and sediments samples were determined, respectively, by additive doses and regenerative doses methods. The annual dose rate was estimated by the determination of the levels of uranium, thorium and potassium present in the teeth samples as well in the surrounding sediments. For the teeth samples, annual dose rates and ages were estimated via ROSY and DATA softwares, which take into account factors such as humidity and how uranium was incorporated by dental tissues through the uptake models: early (EU), linear (LU) and combined (CU). For sediments, the AGE software was used. Concerning the teeth dating, similar values from annual dose rates and ages were obtained from both programs. The highest and lowest estimated ages were, respectively, for the species Hippidion bonaerensis: 20 ± 0,90 thousand years (EU), 22 ± 0,70 thousand years (LU), 20 ± 0,80 thousand years (CU); and Haplomastodon waring: 13 ± 0,70 thousand years (EU), 15 ± 0,80 thousand years (LU), 13 ± 0,80thousand years (CU).. Regarding the dating of the sediments, the results are within the perspectives of the archaeologists that study the geological formation of the “Lagoa Uri de Cima” site, having been estimated for the most superficial level of the lagoon an age of3,6 ± 0,60 thousand years and for the most deeper level an age of 152 ± 16 thousand years. Taking into account the stratigraphic levels in which the megafauna teeth were collected, the estimated ages for these teeth show a consistency with the estimated ages for the sediment collected at different stratigraphic levels of the lagoon, through the LOE dating method, allowing a greater reliability for the dating of the sediments. Furthermore, this work contributed to the implementation of the RPE dating for teeth by the group of “Metrologia Arqueológica e Patrimonial” (MAP) at the “Universidade Federal de Pernambuco” (UFPE), which will support other archaeological and geological researches, in other sites, beyond the researches performed at "Lagoa Uri de Cima" site.

A proposta desta dissertação é investigar a literatura infanto-juvenil israelense, especificamente em obras selecionadas das décadas de 70 a 90 do século XX. Neste estudo, pretendemos também observar como operam os conceitos de mímesis e verossimilhança nestas obras com intuito de verificá-los através das análises destes textos a partir da representação ficcional quanto da veracidade histórica. Desta forma, organizamos uma pesquisa centrada na questão dos conflitos, medos e dores que permearam a literatura infanto-juvenil israelense que funciona como mola propulsora de nosso trabalho. Pretendemos, a partir das análises teóricas realizadas, localizar esses questionamentos e apresentar alguns apontamentos para a discussão sobre a natureza de nosso tema e seu desenvolvimento. Para isso, nossa pesquisa se baseará nas obras selecionadas Sumri (1978) e Pantera no porão (1995), ambas do escritor Amós Oz; além destas, também analisaremos a obra O Monstro da Escuridão (1976) de Uri Orlev. Por fim, desejamos apresentar nossas reflexões e, na medida do possível, avançar, mediante a descrição e a compreensão acerca dos conflitos, medos e dores que permeiam a literatura infanto-juvenil israelense. / Our aim is to investigate Israeli childrens and youth literature, especially in some works selected from the 70s to the 90s of the 20th century. In this study, we intend to observe how the concepts of mimesis and verisimilitude are presented in these works by means of analyses regarding both the fictional representation and the historical veracity. Our research is focused on the question of the conflicts, fears and sorrows that pervade Israeli childrens and youth literature, which are the aspects that motivate our study. Based on the theoretical analyses carried out, we identify these issues and present some reflections for the discussion on the nature of our theme and its development. The works analyzed are Sumchi (1978) and A panther in the basement (1995), both by Amós Oz, and The monster in the darkness (1976), by Uri Orlev. Through the description and comprehension of the conflicts, fears and sorrows in the works mentioned, our study may contribute to the scientific inquiry on Israeli childrens and youth literature.

Kompletní řešení bylo předvedeno na příkladu zabezpečení instance webové aplikace Wordpress.

The purpose of the master's thesis "Ontology and Semantic Web" is to give a description of general principles of ontologies, which are closely associated with so-called new generation of web: semantic web. The thesis is conceived as tutorial and it is focused on both theoretical basics and practical examples of the use of technologies developed recently. The aim of this tutorial is to present main ideas of semantic web, technologies and data formats, which should provide its implementation into standard practice.

Winter Storm Uri damaged parts of the United States, Mexico, and Canada in February of 2021. The State of Texas was heavily affected due to the institutional failure of Texas's primary power provider, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). Despite similar previous storms that exposed weaknesses in the state's power grid system in 1999 and 2011, ERCOT did not make the necessary changes to prevent a future disaster. The purpose of this study is to advance the understanding of the concept of recreancy through the exploration of eight different dimensions of the concept: trust or distrust in institutions; institutional responsibility for disaster preparedness; responsibility for impacts of a disaster; effectiveness or ineffectiveness of institutions in responding to a disaster; an institution's capability of preventing a similar event in the future; an institution's willingness to make changes in their actions or behavior; confidence that an institution will prevent a similar event in the future; and responsibility for compensation for impacts of a disaster. To examine the composition of the concept of recreancy, I analyzed survey data collected in Texas during April and May of 2022. I aggregated and coded survey data according to the level respondents reported to agree with the survey indicators measuring dimensions of recreancy. I utilized Confirmatory Factor Analysis to analyze if the derived dimensions of recreancy measure recreancy, and if some are more salient than others. Confirmatory Factor Analysis revealed variability in the importance of different dimensions of recreancy, suggesting that some dimensions are more salient than others in shaping residents' perceptions of recreancy in the context of Winter Storm Uri. Further analysis revealed a preliminary model to operationalize recreancy, however further analysis is needed. / Master of Science / In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri devasted regions of the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The state of Texas experienced significant storm impacts due to the failure of its primary power provider, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). ERCOT is responsible for overseeing and managing the state's power grid. Similar storms in 1999 and 2011 revealed weaknesses in the power grid's infrastructure—state officials mandated but did not require weatherization precautions to prevent future grid failures. ERCOT did not implement the suggested changes and the power grid failure during Winter Storm Uri left millions of Texas residents without access to power, heat, water, and other necessary services. This thesis explores residents' perceptions of ERCOT's institutional failure—recreancy—and aims to understand the concept of recreancy through the examination of eight dimensions: trust or distrust in institutions; institutional responsibility for disaster preparedness; responsibility for impacts of a disaster; effectiveness or ineffectiveness of institutions in responding to a disaster; an institution's capability of preventing a similar event in the future; an institution's willingness to make changes in their actions or behavior; confidence that an institution will prevent a similar event in the future; and responsibility for compensation for impacts of a disaster. I analyzed survey respondents' levels of agreement with each dimension and utilized Confirmatory Factor Analysis to assess the relative importance of the dimensions and if they accurately capture recreancy.

Le Plan culturel numérique du Québec (PCNQ) souligne l’importance pour le domaine culturel québécois, auquel participe étroitement les historiens, de s’intéresser aux possibilités du Web sémantique. Dans cette idée, ce mémoire étudie les avantages et les inconvénients de l’association entre le Web sémantique et l’histoire. D’un côté, on retrouve une nouvelle configuration du Web sous forme de données liées qui tente de s’inscrire dans un cadre pratique et, de l’autre, une discipline qui souhaite comprendre et préserver les faits passés. La réunion des deux concepts nécessite une implication interdisciplinaire entre programmeurs, professionnels en sciences de l’information et historiens. Face à ce travail interdisciplinaire, quels sont les enjeux et le rôle de l’historien dans le développement d’une plate-forme sémantique sur le patrimoine québécois? Pour répondre à cette question, ce mémoire explique les liens étroits qui existent entre la discipline historique et les données liées. Après avoir défini un ensemble de concepts fondateurs tels que le Resource Description Framework (RDF), l’Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), les fichiers d’autorité et les ontologies, ce mémoire associe un corpus de personnes du Répertoire du patrimoine culturel du Québec (RPCQ) avec DBpedia, un joueur majeur du Web sémantique. Cette démonstration explique comment le patrimoine québécois s’articule dans le nuage des données liées. De cette expérimentation découle deux constats qui démontrent l’importance de l’implication historienne dans une structure sémantique. Le Québec n’a pas d’autorité sur ses propres données et on ne retrace actuellement que la grande histoire du Québec sans entrer dans ses particularités.
