Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / It is generally accepted that the brightness of a stimulus object is a factor in judgments of distance. However, very little knowledge about the functional relationships between photometric brightness and distance judgments have been obtained. Graham and others have shown that the psychophysical methods used to obtain stimulus-response relationships can also provide stimulus-stimulus functions. In the latter type of function information can be obtained which shows how one measurable stimulus attribute varies as a function of another, with the response as a parameter. This study was concerned with determining both of these relationships. The specific objectives in this study were: (1) to discover the functional relationships between ratios of photometric brightness and judgments of distance under binocular and monocular conditions (the major experiment) and (2) to show the effect of brightness ratios on judgments of distance when the absolute level of brightness is varied (the minor experiment).

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / I wanna to realize an approach about brazilian film production linked with Estado Novo values. The movies are the feature films Birds without Nest (1939) by Raul Roulien, Clay (1940) by Humberto Mauro and Forbidden Romance (1944) by Adhemar Gonzaga. My key matter is to show the easy or difficult relations of those ideological values with the melodramatic structure of its dramaturgy. I use, above all, of the filmic analyses methodology. However, it was important a bibliographical survey under the historical moment and the conceptions of nation and melodrama used. I discovered, in many points, that some constructions of the nation as immagined community, were opposed of the subtitles that could be note on the narratives, specially in some matters like social classes relations and ethnics and gender representations. In respect the last theme, some important matters could be observed in that movies, all of them with women in the main roles. / Procuro realizar uma abordagem sobre a produÃÃo nacional cinematogrÃfica ficcional considera mais prÃxima de valores que diziam interesse ao Estado Novo. Trata-se dos filmes de longa-metragem Aves sem Ninho (1939), de Raul Roulien; Argila (1940), de Humberto Mauro e Romance Proibido (1944), de Adhemar Gonzaga. Minha principal preocupaÃÃo à observar como tais valores ideolÃgicos convivem com a estrutura notadamente melodramÃtica que acompanha tal produÃÃo em harmonia ou nÃo. Para tanto faÃo uso, sobretudo, da anÃlise fÃlmica dos filmes em questÃo, mas igualmente de uma pesquisa bibliogrÃfica sobre a produÃÃo em questÃo e sobre o momento histÃrico no qual foi produzida e uma pesquisa bibliogrÃfica que fundamente as concepÃÃes de naÃÃo e melodrama que sÃo trabalhadas na tese. Percebo, em vÃrios momentos, que muito do que à construÃdo em busca de evocar uma naÃÃo enquanto âcomunidade imaginadaâ despida de problemas, acaba nas entrelinhas demonstrando uma relaÃÃo bem mais complexa e difÃcil na abordagem de temas como a relaÃÃo entre classes, a representaÃÃo das raÃas e a abordagem sobre a mulher, sendo que todas as trÃs produÃÃes possuem protagonistas femininas.

Diseñador ráfico / La atracción de los individuos a algo que la revolución industrial llamo especialización se configura de diferentes maneras en cada uno de nosotros. Se nos pone en el mundo sin enseñarnos a ser conscientes de él, de nosotros. La búsqueda de la significación emerge en un sentido o en otro, o en varios. Se puede buscar la tarea activa, la contemplativa, la de traducción. La disciplina del Diseño supone la iniciativa de representar, crear y mejorar aspectos tangibles e intangibles de la sociedad en que nos desenvolvemos, para lograr la optimización de diferentes aspectos de la vida humana. Pero al final del día se percibe como el catalizador de lo que las personas y la sociedad necesitan, adaptando las habilidades a los requerimientos y deseos de una situación a definir y solucionar.
