In order to understand the intersection of passion and fantasy, we have chosen the work of two masters of the literary art: Horacio Quiroga and Murilo Rubião. Four of their short stories, which are going to be studied in this dissertation, show the path to understanding the mechanisms through which passions are used as the basic condition to the emergence of fantasy in order to take the reader into a universe of strange responses and reactions to the real world. The unusual outcome of the stories analyzed by us reveals the relevance of the complex passion in leading the characters into a life of resignation or death, once this complicity between passion and fantasy determines the characters. reaction to elements that are foreign to reality. / A literatura pode apresentar de maneira indissociável o fantástico e a paixão, por meio de elementos insólitos que se mesclam ou se inter-relacionam, representando, assim, uma realidade pautada na incerteza. Para entendermos um pouco mais a aproximação entre paixão e fantástico, recorremos a dois ícones da literatura: Horacio Quiroga e Murilo Rubião. Quatro contos que são objeto de análise desta dissertação mostram o caminho para a compreensão dos mecanismos em que a paixão é usada como suporte para o surgimento do fantástico, com o objetivo de envolver o leitor em um universo impregnado de reações estranhas ao mundo real. O desfecho insólito dos referidos contos marca a importância da paixão, complexa na sua constituição, para conduzir as personagens no sentido de uma vida de resignação ou da morte. Toda essa cumplicidade entre paixão e fantástico culmina nas reações das personagens em relação aos elementos estranhos à realidade.

Une population mondiale croissante et l’épuisement des ressources fossiles a conduit à une augmentation de la demande alimentaire et énergétique. Si les plantes oléagineuses sont majoritairement exploitées pour leurs fruits et leurs graines riches en huiles dans le secteur agroalimentaire, elles sont également valorisées comme alternative aux produits pétrosourcés (biolubrifiants, biocarburants). La production de lipides et d’acides gras inhabituels a rapidement suscité un intérêt envers les organismes unicellulaires : les levures. L’objectif de ce travail consiste à étudier deux modèles biologiques : la graine de lin (Linum usitatissimum), dont l’huile est constituée à 57% d’oméga-3, et la levure oléagineuse Yarrowia lipolytica, exploitée comme châssis biotechnologique. L’approche utilisée pour appréhender le métabolisme lipidique est la fluxomique. De plus, la conception d’un modèle prédictif reposant sur un marquage isotopique (MFA) ou la contrainte (FBA) permet une analyse dynamique du métabolisme. L’étude comparative de trois lignées de lin (teneurs en huile et oméga-3 différentes) a permis une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes menant à l’accumulation des lipides (jusqu’à 44,2 g.100g-1 MS). Ainsi, nous avons pu montrer que l’assimilation du saccharose et la remobilisation de l’amidon sont essentiels à la synthèse des précurseurs et du NADPH nécessaires à la synthèse des AG. Une forte implication de la glycolyse cytosolique et de la voie des pentoses phosphate plastidiale a pu être notée, tandis que la synthèse des protéines et de la paroi cellulaire a été une étape plutôt limitante. De plus, la PDAT semblerait être une enzyme essentielle à l’incorporation d’acides gras polyinsaturés dans les TAG. L’étude de trois souches de Yarrowia lipolytica a également permis d’appréhender le métabolisme de la levure. L’assimilation d’une source de carbone alternative au glucose (glycérol) a entraîné une redirection métabolique majeure vers la néoglucogénèse. Le flux majoritaire pour la synthèse des TAG emprunte la glycolyse et une partie du cycle de Krebs, afin de convertir le citrate en acétyl-CoA. L’optimisation de la voie Kennedy (GPD1 et DGA2) a permis une amélioration du contenu en lipides : +72% par rapport à une souche optimisée pour la synthèse des acides gras inhabituels (expression du gène LRO1, codant pour une PDAT). Les principales voies compétitives sont la synthèse de glucides de réserve et la sécrétion de citrate, réprimée ici grâce à une assimilation de glucose modérée. La PDAT est là encore impliquée dans l’accumulation des acides gras inhabituels. / Growing world population and depletion of fossil resources have led to an increasing food and energy demand. While oleaginous plants are mostly cultivated for their fruits or their seeds in food industry, they are also valued in as an alternative to petrochemicals (biolubricant, biofuels). The production of lipids and unusual fatty acids increased the interest for unicellular organisms: yeasts. The aim of this work is to study two biological models: flax seed (Linum usitatissimum), whose oil is made up of 57% omega-3, and yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, exploited as a biotechnological chassis. The approach used to understand lipid metabolism is fluxomics. In addition, the development of a predictive model based on isotopic labelling (MFA) or constraint-based one (FBA) allows a dynamic analysis of the metabolism. The comparative study of three flax lines (with different oil and omega-3 levels) provided a better understanding of the mechanisms leading to lipid accumulation (up to 44.2 g.100 gDW-1). Therefore, we have been able to show that sucrose assimilation and starch remobilization are essential for fatty acid precursors and cofactors synthesis. Strong involvements of cytosolic glycolysis (G3P, acetyl-CoA) and pentose phosphate pathway (NADPH) have been noted, while protein and cell wall synthesis are limiting steps. In addition, PDAT would be a central enzyme for the incorporation of PUFA into TAGs. The study of three Yarrowia lipolytica strains also helped us to better understand yeast metabolism. The assimilation of an alternative carbone source to glucose, glycerol, led to a major metabolic redirection towards gluconeogenesis. The TAG synthesis flux especially uses glycolysis and a part of TCA cycle to convert citrate into acetyl-CoA. Kennedy pathway optimizations (GPD1 and DGA2 gene overexpression) allowed a lipid content improvement: +72% compared to a strain optimized for the synthesis of unusual fatty acids (LRO1 gene expression, encoding for a PDAT enzyme). The main competitive pathways are carbohydrate synthesis (glycogen) and citrate secretion (here repressed thanks to slow glucose assimilation. PDAT (LRO1 gene) also led to unusual fatty acid accumulation.

My essay explores how people talk about a woman´s supernatural ability in relation to normality and abnormality. In order to find this out I´ve made interviews with people inclose relations to Hildur Lawergren. Hildur lived all her life in Fole on Gotland where she was often interviewed in local papers and on the radio about her predictions on the coming weather. She used melted candles to make her predictions. The candles were melted down on Christmas eve. From patterns that the melted candles made Hildur claimed to make out pictures in her mind of the coming weather. When I analyzed my interviews I could see how the people close to Hildur struggled with understanding Hildurs ability. They had to find ways to handle the borders between normal and accepted abilitys and Hildurs more unusual ability. People often confronted Hildurs close relatives with questions of how the ability functions and if the relatives also had the ability. In some ways the people closest to Hildur separated her ability from the person Hildur, that was a beloved mother and grandmother. This shows when they mention the ability as “it” or “that”. I´ve concluded that the ability is seen as inheritable and is then possible to develop further using certain techniques. But if a person has not inherited the ability from birth it’s not at all possible to develop it later.

Trata-se de uma reflexão acerca da dimensão espetacular da cultura popular procurando perceber como a espetacularidade favorece a manutenção do Reisado Senhor do Bonfim, e para tanto, além das referências teóricas relativas ao espetáculo, recorreu-se ao arcabouço teórico de Néstor García Canclini, cujas assertivas a respeito dos processos de hibridação foram posicionadas como contraponto em relação ao que os frankfurtianos Adorno e Horkheimer escreveram sobre indústria cultural. O processo analítico desenvolvido no trabalho permite repensar as questões relacionadas à tradição, considerando a globalização e a abertura ao novo como experiências que podem vir a favorecer a manutenção das práticas artísticas populares. A aferição do espetacular no Reisado Senhor do Bonfim serviu para perceber como o olhar de quem não participa de sua vida social, ou seja, o olhar de quem é de fora de Piau interfere na espetacularidade do grupo, compreensão que se fez possível, por exemplo, ao acompanhar a participação do Reisado na Romaria de Santa Quitéria, cuja carreata sai de Piau em direção ao povoado de Frencheiras, no município de Garanhuns, Pernambuco. A viagem dá margem a uma leitura que aponta para a conexão entre o espetacular e o olhar externo, e ainda à identidade, relação que também pode ser traçada noutros eventos vividos pelo grupo, os quais, pela singularidade impressa, são classificados como insólitos e exatamente por isso motivadores do espetacular. This dissertation has the goal of approaching the “Reisado do Senhor do Bomfim” under the spectacle’s point of view, this spectacle happens at Piau town, Piranhas municipality, Alagoas. The recognition of two different spectacle conceptions is demanded: one, built by Guy Debord, whose theoretical scheme analyzes the spectacle as a purely merchandising experience, and another one defended by the authors: Patrice Pavis, a playwright who evidences the spectacle as everything offered to our eyes, and Jean-Marie Pradier, an ethnoscenology scholar, a theme within the ethnoscience which has the organized spectacular human behaviors as a target. This is about a reflection on the spectacular dimension of the folk culture, expecting to understand how the spectacles favor the maintenance of the “Reisado do Senhor do Bonfim” and, because of this, besides the theoretical references related to the spectacle, we call on the theoretical outline of Néstor Garcia Canclini, whose statements regarding the hibridation processes were set as a counterpoint regarding what the frankfurtians Adorno and Horkheimer wrote about the culture industry. The analytical process developed on this work allowed reviewing the issues related to tradition, considering the globalization and the opening to new experiences with a possibility to keep the folk artistic practices on happening. The assess of the spectacular regarding the “Reisado Senhor do Bonfim” helped to realize about, how the point of view of someone who doesn’t participate of its social life, that is, the view of a person who is not from Piau, interferes on the group spectacularity, this comprehension was possible, for example, while observing the participation in the Reisado, at the “Romaria de Santa Quitéria”, event that has a car parade going from Piau to Frencheiras town, in the Garanhuns municipality, Pernambuco. The travel gives the chance of having a lecture which points to the relationship between the spectacular and the external view, and even to identity, relationship that can also be drafted in other events lived by the group, which, by the given singularity, are classified as unusual and, exactly because of this, motivate the spectacular. / This dissertation has the goal of approaching the “Reisado do Senhor do Bomfim” under the spectacle’s point of view, this spectacle happens at Piau town, Piranhas municipality, Alagoas.

Veiga: intersecções estruturais em narrativas insólitas, efetiva análises comparativas entre textos de José J. Veiga (1915-1999), a saber, Os do outro lado, inserido em Os cavalinhos de Platiplanto (1995), Sombras de reis barbudos (1995) e os contos: Aladino (anônimo), A chinela turca (1974), de Machado de Assis e Casa Tomada (1980), de Julio Cortázar. Este trabalho compreende, ainda, a análise do romance de Veiga, A casca da serpente (1994). Abordagens imanentistas subjazem os referidos procedimentos, valendo-se de considerações dos seguintes estudiosos: Tzvetan Todorov, Roger Caillois, Lovecraft, Irène Bessière, Wayne C. Booth, Norman Friedman, Gérard Genette, Linda Hutcheon e Bakhtin (em parte). Pressupostos sobre narrativas fantásticas e realistas maravilhosas emergem, principalmente, das reflexões de Filipe Furtado, Harry Belevan, Óscar Hahn, Francisca Coalla, Bella Josef, José Paulo, Alejo Carpentier, Irlemar Chiampi, Jorge Schwartz. Quanto aos conceitos do novo romance histórico, o trabalho firma-se em posicionamentos de Seymour Menton e Fernando Aínsa. Tais experimentos analíticos pretendem demonstrar que, embora a construção literária do sobrenatural implique variabilidades temático-formais, os elementos dominantes se interseccionam. Portanto, narrativas de Veiga e outras correlatas resultam em “imagens caleidoscópicas”, paradoxalmente, múltiplas e equivalentes. / The thesis, O Caleidoscópio de José J. Veiga: structural intersections in unusual narratives, accomplishes comparative analysis among texts of José J. Veiga (1915- 1999), namely, Os do outro lado, inserted in Os Cavalinhos de Platiplanto (1995), Sombras de reis barbudos (1995) and the short stories: Aladino (anonym), A chinela turca (1974) of Machado de Assis and Casa Tomada (1980), of Júlio Cortázar. This study also includes the analysis of Veiga’s novel, A casca da serpente (1994). Immanenet approaches lie in the above-mentioned procedures since considerations of the following scholarly people: Tzvetan Todorov, Roger Caillois, Lovecraft, Irène Bessière, Wayne C. Booth, Norman Friedman, Gerárd Genette, Linda Hutcheon and Bakhtin (partly). Presuppositons about fantastical and amazing realistic narratives arise, mainly from Felipe Furtado, Harry Belevan, Óscar Hahn, Francisca Coalla, Bella Josef, José Paulo Paes, Alejo Carpentier, Irlemar Chiampi and Jorge Schwartz’s reflections. As for the concepts of the new historical novel, the study rilies on Seymour Menton and Fernando Aínsa’s positions. Such analytical experiments intend to show that, though the literary construction of the supernatural thing involves formal-thematic variabilities, the dominant elements meet. So, Veiga’s narratives and correlate other ones result in “kaleidoscope images”, diverse and equivalente ones in a paradoxical way.

Mar me quer, do escritor moçambicano Mia Couto, é uma narrativa cuja edição que se tem disponível para compra no mercado editorial 24,5cm de altura por 17,3cm de largura; capa dura, em fundo verde vibrante, com ilustração colorida; oito ilustrações de João Nasi Pereira, ao longo de seus oito capítulos; sessenta e oito páginas totais, contando, dentre elas, as páginas de ilustrações e as em branco inscreve-se, desde sua apresentação física, no entrelugar da literatura destinada ao público infantil ou juvenil. Ao seu formato dissimulador, acresce a manifestação, em variados momentos e em diferentes categorias da narrativa ações, personagens, espaços e tempos , do insólito ficcional traço desestabilizador da mimeses realista, comprometida com a realidade empírica, senso comum , realçando um caráter fantasista de ordenação metaempírica da realidade, no plano do discurso ficcional que permite situar a obra tanto no universo já prenunciado das literaturas infantil ou juvenil, quanto no seio das vertentes literárias do fantástico sentido lato. Um percurso pelos fios das histórias de Zeca Perpétuo e Luarmina, personagens centrais da narrativa, conduz a um passeio pelos mares dessas literaturas em que irrompe o insólito, levando a que leiam as tensões emergentes de um mundo repleto de mitos, lendas e crenças, terra telúrica de África, Moçambique / Mar me quer is a narrative written by Mia Couto, a Mozambican writer. The books edition, available for purchase, measures 24.5 cm high by 17.3 cm wide; Its hardcover has a vibrant green background with colorful illustration, eight drawings made by Nasi John Pereira along its eight chapters; sixty-eight pages in total - considering, among them, the illustrative pages and blank ones- which fall in the midst of the literature aimed at children and adolescents. To its concealing format, one should join the manifestation of the fantasized sort of reality, in terms of fictional discourse - at various times and in different categories of narrative: action, characters, places and times of the fictional unusual trait which destabilizes the realistic mimesis, committed to empirical reality, the common sense. By highlighting this fantastic aspect of the narrative, the writer manages to situate his work in the universe - already foreshadowed - of the child and juvenile literature, as well as within the literary strands of the fantastic -in the broadest sense. A journey through the story of Zeca Perpétuo and Luarmina, central characters of the narrative, leads to a walk through the seas of these literatures in which the unusual bursts, leading readers to the emerging tensions of a world filled with myths, legends and beliefs of this telluric land in Africa, Mozambique

Bottlenose dolphins inhabiting coastlines and estuaries in Florida have been impacted in the past decade by development, algal blooms, catastrophic pollution, and fishery interactions (FI). Dolphins react to disturbance and environmental stressors by modifying their movements and habitat use, which may put them in jeopardy of conflict with humans. FI plays an increasing role in contributing to dolphin mortalities. I investigated dolphin movements, habitat use, residency patterns, and frequency of FI with sport fishing. Tagging studies with short-term data tags and bolt on radio-transmitters were done in several locations in Florida and the east coast providing fine-scale measurements of swimming, daily travels, and foraging activity. Transit speeds agreed with the predicted mean cost of transport as dolphins spent much of their day and night travelling and resting while swimming. Increased foraging was detected by stomach temperature changes revealing dolphins fed at night with a peak starting just after sunset. Dolphin abundance, site fidelity, ranging, stranding mortality, and community structure was characterized at Choctawhatchee and Pensacola Bays in the Florida Panhandle via surveying and photo-identification. Results showed they made frequent inshore movements, maintained site fidelity to specific areas, and comprised several distinct communities. FI was assessed at offshore reefs and coastal fishing piers near Destin, FL and Orange Beach, AL, showing that some dolphins demonstrate affinity to this activity. Harmful interactions with dolphins on reefs and at fishing piers negatively affect their resident communities. Mitigation of FI is suggested by use of avoidance strategies, gear modifications, and improved fish release practices.

The theme of this master's thesis is "Marketing Revival of 'Cool tour linka'". 'Cool tour linka' is a joint project of Prague's leading exhibition institutions and transport company. Introductory part presents the project with the aim to preserve it "for next generations" too. 'Cool tour linka' was terminated due to economical reasons. Therefore the thesis leads to formation of a new project, that would work under even less favourable conditions. Conclusions from the chapters that analyse the previous 'Cool tour linka' (analysis of the visitors' attendance, application of marketing tools, SWOT analysis) are used in the new project. Both the original and the newly proposed 'Cool tour linka' emphasize the element of cooperation of the organisations operating in the field of culture and the importance of unusual presentation of arts collections to the public.

The diploma thesis is focused on the research of school cheating in pupils of the second level of elementary schools. Based on a self-reporting questionnaire survey, the aim of the thesis is to find out what motivates the pupils to cheat and what attitude they take to possibly punish detected fraud. Another goal is to find out the frequency of individual types of school cheating, the influence of gender and the learning benefit of school cheating. It has been found that pupils are relatively often used in cheating on the internet at the primary school. Also, there was greater tolerance for cheating when pupils do not attach the importance of punishment for an exposed fraud, rather they would not punish their exposed classmates. Key words: dishonest behavior, unusual cheating, electronic cheating, elementary school pupils, motivation to cheat

Cette étude a pour objectif la recherche d’huiles et de composés bioactifs dans des graines provenant de la région semi-aride à aride « Regueb » située au centre de la Tunisie. Plusieurs graines sont riches en huiles principalement composées d'acides gras classiques. Des teneurs élevées en acide pétrosélinique, un acide gras inhabituel, ont été détectées chez les espèces appartenant à la famille des Apiaceae, en particulier P. major et P. saxifraga. Les graines de d’Ap. graveolens, An. graveolens, P. saxifraga et L. sativum sont à la fois riches en huiles et en composés phénoliques fonctionnels. L’accumulation de ces composés dans les graines en développement a été étudiée pour P. major, P. saxifraga et L. sativum. Certaines graines contiennent également des huiles essentielles ayant un pouvoir antibactérien comme celles de P. saxifraga, Ap. graveolens et C. sativum qui sont riches en anéthol, dillapiole et linalol. L’huile essentielle des graines de P. saxifraga (PSEO) a été, pour la première fois, testée dans un enrobage comestible à base d’alginate de sodium pour la conservation du fromage frais. Une évaluation de sa toxicité chez les souris a permis la détermination de la plage de doses sans effet nocif. L’enrobage comestible d'alginate de sodium enrichi en PSEO a amélioré la conservation du fromage frais "Sicilien de Bèja" en permettant de préserver le pH et la couleur, de diminuer la péroxydation lipidique et d’améliorer la stabilité bactérienne. L'analyse sensorielle a montré une forte appréciation du fromage enrobé en présence de PSEO. / The aim of this study is to identify bioactive oils and compounds in seeds from the semi-arid to arid region of "Regueb" in central Tunisia. Several species contained high amounts of oil mainly composed of classic fatty acids. High amounts of petroselinic acid, an unusual fatty acid, have been detected in species of the family Apiaceae, in particular P. major and P. saxifraga. The seeds ofAP. graveolens, An. graveolens, P. saxifraga and L. sativum were rich in oil and functional phenolic compounds. The accumulation of these compounds in growing seeds has been studied for P. major, P. saxifraga and L. sativum. Several seed contained essential oils with antibacterial properties such as those of P. saxifraga, AP. graveolens and C. sativum, which contained anethole, dillapiole and linalool. The essential oil of P. saxifraga seeds (PSEO) was, for the first time, tested in an edible coating based on sodium alginate for the preservation of fresh cheese. An evaluation of its toxicity in the mice allowed the determination of the dose range without any harmful effect. The edible coating of sodium alginate enriched with PSEO has improved the preservation of the fresh Sicilian cheese by preserving pH and color, reducing lipid peroxidation and improving bacterial stability. Sensory analysis showed a strong appreciation of coated cheese in presence of PSEO
