Depuis la seconde moitié du 19e siècle, le paysage religieux guatémaltèque a subi d’importantes transformations. L’apparition et l’expansion phénoménale de nouveaux mouvements protestants ont entrainé une réorganisation progressive de l’espace religieux jusqu’alors homogène et déclenché l’affrontement idéologique de différents systèmes de croyances. Dans cette coexistence parfois tumultueuse, le chamanisme doit, à sa façon, lutter pour conserver une place de choix et éviter d’être relégué au passé. Par l’analyse de l’activité thérapeutique, ce mémoire vise la compréhension de la dynamique relationnelle chamanique/pentecôtiste. Le portrait du contexte religieux et l’historique des développements servent tout d’abord de base à l’étude des perceptions mutuelles entre chamanes, pasteurs et convertis. Cette dernière permet non seulement d’apporter un élément nouveau en se penchant sur la vision qu’ont développée curanderos et brujos à l’égard du pasteur pentecôtiste au sein du pluralisme médico-religieux guatémaltèque, mais permet également l’approfondissement et la compréhension de la perception dégradante et archaïsante de cette mouvance évangélique à l’égard des croyances ancestrales. Ce croisement des regards et l’observation des rituels curatifs respectifs m’amènent ainsi à considérer de près les prolongements entre ces deux univers à priori distincts alors que certaines continuations sur le plan thérapeutique sont perceptibles. L’enquête de terrain révèle finalement qu’en parallèle à ces opinions et concordances, des impacts négatifs sont engendrés sur les pratiques chamaniques, amenant les détenteurs du savoir traditionnel à opérer des modifications apparentes sur le plan de leurs propres pratiques rituelles et croyances en fonction du système de valeurs pentecôtiste. / Since the second half of the 19th century, the Guatemalan religious landscape has undergone important transformations. The advent and the exceptional expansion of new protestant movements have prompted the progressive reorganization of the religious space which was, until then, relatively homogenous and triggered ideological confrontations between the various belief systems. In this tumultuous coexistence, shamanism must struggle to preserve its pertinence and to avoid falling into oblivion. By analyzing the therapeutic activity, this thesis aims at elucidating the shamanic-pentecostal relational dynamic. The portrait of the religious context and the historical developments are used as a basis for the study of the mutual perceptions between shamans, pastors and converts. This approach allows us to shed some new light onto the curanderos and brujos’ perceptions of the pentecostal pastor within the guatemalan medico-religious pluralism. However, it also allows us to deepen our understanding of the degrading perception of ancestral beliefs within the pentecostal movement. These viewpoints and the observation of the respective curative rituals thus lead me to consider closely the connections existing between these two a priori distinct universes whereas certain continuations on the therapeutic level between the two belief systems can be perceived. The field investigation finally suggests that in parallel to these perceptions and similarities, the presence of the pentecostal movement have influenced shamanic practices, leading holders of traditional knowledge to operate apparent modifications into the plan of their own ritual practices, customs and beliefs according to the pentecostal system of values. / Desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, el paisaje religioso guatemalteco ha sufrido importantes transformaciones. La aparición y la extensión fenomenal de nuevos movimientos protestantes conllevaron una reorganización progresiva del espacio religioso hasta entonces homogéneo y han desencadenado la confrontación ideológica de distintos sistemas de creencias. En esta coexistencia, el chamanismo debe, a su manera, luchar para conservar un lugar destacado y evitar quedar relegado al pasado. Mediante el análisis de la actividad terapéutica, esta tesina se propone por objetivo comprender la dinámica de la relación entre el chamanismo y el pentecostalismo. El retrato del contexto religioso y la crónica de la evolución sirven en primer lugar de base al estudio de las percepciones mutuas entre chamanes, pastores y conversos. Este último permite no solamente aportar un nuevo elemento examinando la visión que desarrollaron curanderos y brujos respecto al pastor pentecostal en el seno del pluralismo médico-religioso guatemalteco, sino que también permite la profundización y la comprensión de la percepción arcaizante del evangelismo respecto a las creencias ancestrales. Este cruce de las miradas y la observación de los rituales curativos respectivos me llevan así a considerar de cerca las prolongaciones entre estos dos universos a priori distintos mientras que algunas continuaciones a nivel terapéutico son perceptibles. La investigación de campo revela finalmente que en paralelo a estas opiniones y concordancias, se generan impactos negativos sobre las prácticas chamánicas, llevando a los chamanes a realizar modificaciones aparentes en sus propias prácticas rituales y creencias en función del sistema de valores pentecostal.

Participaram deste estudo 9 mulheres com artrite reumatoide e 10 mulheres saudáveis, pareadas por idade. A média de idade das mulheres com artrite foi de 56,66±11,81 e das saudáveis foi de 56,0±11,42. Foram utilizada ficha de avaliação, escala de Graffar para determinar o nível sociocenômico e o inventário de Edinburg, a fim de determinar a dominância lateral. Para avaliar o nível da atividade da doença foi utilizado Disease Activity Score por meio da Proteína C-Reativa. Para avaliação dos parâmetros da curva força vs tempo de preensão manual foi utilizado dinamômetro digital produzido pelo Laboratório de Instrumentação da Udesc por meio de janelas de tempo (0-30ms; 0-50ms; 0-100ms) Os parâmetros analisados foram: força de preensão máxima, tempo para atingir a força de preensão máxima, taxa de desenvolvimento da força e o pico da taxa de desenvolvimento da força para o lado dominante e não dominante. Para comparar a média dos parâmetros da curva de força de preensão manual isométrica máxima vs tempo entre os grupos foi utilizado o Teste T para amostras independentes. A relação entre os parâmetros da curva de força de preensão e o Disease Activity Score, bem como a Proteina C-Reativa nas mulheres com artrite foi verificada por meio da correlação de Pearson. A relação entre os parâmetros da curva de força de preensão manual isométrica máxima vs tempo e o número de articulações dolorosa, edemaciadas e a percepção geral de saúde foi verificada através do teste de Spearman. A força máxima e o pico da taxa de desenvolvimento apresentaram diferença significativa entre os grupos. Foi possível verificar associação linear entre o Disease Activity Score com tempo para atingir a força máxima do lado não dominante e com a taxa de desenvolvimento da força (0-100ms) do lado dominante, bem como entre a Proteína C-Reativa com a força máxima, tempo para atingir a força máxima dominante e a taxa de desenvolvimento da força (0-100ms) dominante e o pico da taxa de desenvolvimento da força de ambos os lados. As informações sobre os parâmetros da curva força vs tempo durante a contração isométrica máxima podem contribuir na avaliação da fraqueza muscular e incapacidade gerada pelo processo inflamatório em pacientes com artrite, tornando-se uma ferramenta útil para fins preventivos e de reabilitação.

Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar e reconstruir os fundamentos da Teoria da Tributação e do Direito Tributário que regem a incidência do Imposto de Renda sobre operações conduzidas nos mercados financeiro e de capitais. Examinam-se, num primeiro momento, os preceitos norteadores da eqüidade, eficiência (nos seus dois vieses de neutralidade e desenvolvimento), simplicidade e conveniência, verificando-se em que medida o ordenamento jurídico-tributário posto está em consonância com a Teoria da Tributação. Na seara da Teoria da Tributação, destaque é dado ao trade-off (ou dilema) entre eficiência e eqüidade relativo à tributação da renda auferida nos mercados. Em momento subseqüente, analisam-se as regras constitucionais e complementares que moldam a incidência do Imposto de Renda e a maneira pela qual princípios e mandamentos constitucionais, concernentes à seara tributária ou não, atuam em relação à tributação da renda obtida nos mercados financeiro e de capitais. Nessa toada, papel de relevo possui a relação conflituosa existente entre o mandamento da tributação conforme a capacidade contributiva e a possibilidade de instituição de normas tributárias indutoras visando a objetivos extrafiscais. / This paper aims at analyzing and reconstructing the fundamentals of the Taxation Theory and of the Tax Law that guide the assessment of the Income Tax on transactions carried out within the financial and capital markets. At a first moment, we examine the guiding precepts of equity, efficiency (in its two aspects of neutrality and development), simplicity and convenience, then verifying in what measure the legislation in force is adequate in light of the Taxation Theory. In the field of the Taxation Theory, we highlight the trade-off between efficiency and equity in relation to the taxation of the income obtained in the markets. Afterwards, we analyze the constitutional and complementary rules that shape the assessment of the Income Tax and the manner by which tax and non-tax constitutional principles and guidelines act as regards the taxation of the income obtained within the financial and capital markets. In this sense, a paramount role shall be attributed to the conflictive relation between the ability-to-pay rule and the possibility of enacting tax norms aiming at non-fiscal purposes.

Les verrous technologiques rencontrés par les fabricants de semi-conducteurs au début des années deux-mille ont abrogé la flambée des performances des unités de calculs séquentielles. La tendance actuelle est à la multiplication du nombre de cœurs de processeur par socket et à l'utilisation progressive des cartes GPU pour des calculs hautement parallèles. La complexité des architectures récentes rend difficile l'estimation statique des performances d'un programme. Nous décrivons une méthode fiable et précise de prédiction du temps d'exécution de nids de boucles parallèles sur GPU basée sur trois étapes : la génération de code, le profilage offline et la prédiction online. En outre, nous présentons deux techniques pour exploiter l'ensemble des ressources disponibles d'un système pour la performance. La première consiste en l'utilisation conjointe des CPUs et GPUs pour l'exécution d'un code. Afin de préserver les performances il est nécessaire de considérer la répartition de charge, notamment en prédisant les temps d'exécution. Le runtime utilise les résultats du profilage et un ordonnanceur calcule des temps d'exécution et ajuste la charge distribuée aux processeurs. La seconde technique présentée met le CPU et le GPU en compétition : des instances du code cible sont exécutées simultanément sur CPU et GPU. Le vainqueur de la compétition notifie sa complétion à l'autre instance, impliquant son arrêt. / Technological limitations faced by the semi-conductor manufacturers in the early 2000's restricted the increase in performance of the sequential computation units. Nowadays, the trend is to increase the number of processor cores per socket and to progressively use the GPU cards for highly parallel computations. Complexity of the recent architectures makes it difficult to statically predict the performance of a program. We describe a reliable and accurate parallel loop nests execution time prediction method on GPUs based on three stages: static code generation, offline profiling, and online prediction. In addition, we present two techniques to fully exploit the computing resources at disposal on a system. The first technique consists in jointly using CPU and GPU for executing a code. In order to achieve higher performance, it is mandatory to consider load balance, in particular by predicting execution time. The runtime uses the profiling results and the scheduler computes the execution times and adjusts the load distributed to the processors. The second technique, puts CPU and GPU in a competition: instances of the considered code are simultaneously executed on CPU and GPU. The winner of the competition notifies its completion to the other instance, implying the termination of the latter.
