Esse trabalho propõe a implementação de um sistema Prolog eficiente no espaço, o mesmo é baseado nos trabalhos de David H. D. Warren e Hassan Aït-Kaci. A Common Lisp é a estrutura usada para a construção do sistema Prolog, ela foi escolhida tanto por fornecer um ambiente eficiente no espaço quando por ser uma linguagem de programação rica no sentido de que fornece ao usuário abstrações e novas maneiras de pensar. O sistema resultante consiste em uma nova sintaxe aplicada à linguagem inicial que funciona sobre a implementanção Common Lisp chamada SBCL e é capaz de abstrair ou explorar o sistema subjacente. / This thesis proposes the implementation of a space efficient Prolog implementation based on the work of David H. D. Warren and Hassan Aït-Kaci. The Common Lisp is the framework used to the construction of the Prolog system, it was chosen both to provide a space efficient environment and a rich programming language in the sense that it supply the user with abstractions and new ways of thinking. The resulting system is a new syntax to the initial language that runs on top of the SBCL Common Lisp implementation and can abstract away or exploit the underlying system. / Tese (Doutorado)

This challenging environment in which they are the beverage industry requires increasing attention of managers and investors in decision-making. Thus, it is through the economic and financial evaluation of investments that can project the success or failure economic, based on the variables that make up the financial statements. However, some investors can get good results even in the face of a negative scenario, is the case of Warren Buffett. Before the above, this study aims to economic and financial analyzing Ambev companies, Coca-Cola and Pepsi based on Warren's investment methodology Buffett proposed the work of Andrade and Koshio (2014) to see if such companies have a competitive advantage long term on the scenario outlined. Therefore, it has the following objectives: i. Identify and compare the criteria of Warren Buffett for each account group, according to the methodology used by Andrade and Koshio (2014); ii. Sort criteria Warren Buffett as the Zurra methodology (2008); iii. Assess whether there is a relationship between the valuation of the price of the Shares to the rating methodology of Warren Buffett criteria via weighting Zurra weight system (2008). The research was classified as the goals as exploratory, descriptive explanatory, using procedures as bibliographic and documentary survey with qualitative and quantitative approach. The results showed that the methodology of Andrade and Koshio (2014) was not sufficient to determine the level of satisfaction of the criteria of Warren Buffett, only determined the level of service to investor criteria. However, when using the Zurra methodology (2008) was able to sort the satisfaction of the criteria of Warren Buffett whose results showed satisfactory level for Coca-Cola, or durable competitive advantage. However, by correlating the historical price of the shares with the classification methodology of Warren Buffett criteria via weighting Zurra weight system (2008) found that Ambev pointed valuation superior to the other companies disproving the results in the classification the satisfaction of Warren Buffett's criteria. / Atualmente, o consumo de bebidas não alcoólicas está encolhendo, o que antes era de 88,9 litros por pessoa em 2010 passou para 80,6 litros em 2014 (ABIR, 2015). Esse ambiente desafiador em que se encontram as indústrias de bebidas requer cada vez mais atenção dos administradores e investidores na tomada de decisão. Assim, é por meio da avaliação econômico-financeira dos investimentos que se pode projetar o sucesso ou insucesso econômico deste, tendo como base as variáveis que compõe os demonstrativos contábeis. Porém, alguns investidores conseguem obter bons resultados mesmo diante de um cenário negativo, é o caso de Warren Buffett. Ante do exposto, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar econômico-financeira as empresas Ambev, Coca-Cola e Pepsi com base na metodologia de investimento de Warren Buffett proposta pelo trabalho de Andrade e Koshio (2014) para saber se tais empresas possuem vantagem competitiva de longo prazo diante do cenário delineado. Para tanto, tem como objetivos específicos: i. Identificar e Comparar os critérios de Warren Buffett para cada grupo de conta, conforme metodologia utilizada por Andrade e Koshio (2014); ii. Classificar os critérios de Warren Buffett conforme a metodologia de Zurra (2008); iii. Avaliar se existe uma relação entre a valorização do Preço das Ações com a metodologia de classificação dos critérios de Warren Buffett via ponderação do sistema de peso de Zurra (2008). A pesquisa foi classificada quanto aos objetivos como exploratória, descritiva explicativa, utilizando como procedimentos o levantamento bibliográfico e documental com abordagem quali-quanti. Os resultados apontaram que a metodologia de Andrade e Koshio (2014) não foi suficiente para determinar o nível de satisfação dos critérios de Warren Buffett, apenas determinaram o nível de atendimento aos critérios do investidor. Porém, ao utilizar a metodologia de Zurra (2008) foi possível classificar a satisfação dos critérios de Warren Buffett cujo resultado apontou nível satisfatório para Coca-Cola, ou seja, vantagem competitiva durável. Contudo, ao correlacionar o preço histórico das ações com o com a metodologia de classificação dos critérios de Warren Buffett via ponderação do sistema de peso de Zurra (2008) verificou-se que a Ambev apontou valorização superior às demais empresas refutando os resultados encontrados na classificação da satisfação dos critérios de Warren Buffett.

A discussion of how to reorganize the Warren County, Kentucky school system. Includes a description of the Warren County school system in 1957.

Using only one line of evidence for a study of historic sites can be problematic if it does not provide a complete picture of the material culture or lifeways of a people, group, or community. In order to understand the ideas and objects, of culture present at historic sites, it is necessary to use archaeological methodologies with vernacular architecture studies and folklore to create a more holistic image of the world and its inhabitants. To facilitate this, I conducted original research on a mineral spring resort, Massey Springs Resort (Massey Springs) in Warren County, Kentucky, a popular resort in the early 1900s. This project examines the site in terms of its archaeological resources, primary and secondary archival data, and vernacular architectural resources. Since there are no standing structures, Massey Springs is worthwhile example of the explicit need of using a multidisciplinary and integrated approach to investigate past lifeways.

More than 20 million copies of Warren’s book, The Purpose Driven Life (2002), were sold over the past 2 years. It is the best-selling hardback in U.S. history. Warren’s previous book, “The Purpose Driven Church” (1995), has sold over one million copies in 20 languages, and was selected as one of the 100 Christian books that. changed the 20th century. More than 415 churches/congregations in South-Africa have already purchased “The Purpose Driven campaign kit” and completed the 40 Days Campaign or are planning to do so. The name Rick Warren is synonymous with “Purpose Driven” and the popularity of his work as well as his influence in this country, justifies a study of this nature. This study wants to determine the effect of Rick Warren’s 40 days of purpose in the Circuit of Klerksdorp of the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika. Warren (2002/3) provides five purposes for a believer in the church in his book, A Purpose Driven Life, which is according to him, the church’s purpose of existence. The book is divided into 40 brief chapters and participating congregations are motivated to use the book as part of their 40 days campaign. A Campaign Training Manual can be used complementary to the book helping congregations to prepare their campaign successfully. Chapter 1 of this study takes a look at the external and internal problems in the church. The question arises if the church is at all times sure of her purpose of excistence. There is a difference between efficiency (doing things correctly) and effectiveness, which is doing the right things correctly. The purpose of the church’s existence therefore involves choosing the right alternatives. The hypothesis of this study is that the 40 Days of Purpose is an excellent project for congregations to discover their purpose of existence while it also strengthens the process of building up the local congregation. With this hypothesis in mind, chapter 2 provides the underlying theological principles, concepts and some definitions of the subject of building up the local church. Chapter 3 contains a description of the preparation, the course and the ending of the 40 Days Campaign. The participating congregations in the circuit of Klerksdorp are evaluated according to the guidelines of the Campaign Training Manual. A theological view of each of Warren’s (2002) five purposes is also presented. Chapter 4 provides the quantitative and qualitative research which was done in the Curcuit of Klerksdorp. Eight congregations participated in the research project and the respondents reactions are discussed. Interviews that took place whith the pastors of participating congregations, are also discussed. Chapter 5 contains a critical evaluation of the 40 Days of Purpose as well as the book of Warren (2002/3). The conclusion reviews the hypothesis and whether it can be confirmed. / Dissertation (MA (Theology) : Practical Theology)--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Practical Theology / unrestricted

« Comic book » est un terme anglo-saxon, plus spécifiquement américain, employé pour désigner les fascicules de bande dessinée. Il a trouvé son autonomie en 1938 avec la création de « Superman » qui a amorcé l'hégémonie de la figure du « super-héros » dans la production. Au cours du vingtième siècle, éditeurs et auteurs ont eu recours à des stratégies de conquête et de fidélisation du lectorat dont le procédé de la réécriture est le plus significatif. Le super-héros fut alors soumis à l'interprétation de nombreux créateurs et devint le témoin à multiples facettes de l'Histoire des États-Unis. Il s'est dessiné à partir des années quatre-vingt une tendance réflexive qui prend cette figure comme objet critique et qui a donné naissance à ce qu'on appelle ici le « metacomic ». À partir d'un corpus représentatif, cette thèse est consacrée aux stratégies qui fondent cette réflexivité et aux discours qu'elle véhicule dans les œuvres. Elle se divise en quatre chapitres. Le premier est un descriptif de l'industrie du comic book qui explique ses particularités et l'hégémonie en son sein du genre « superhéroïque ». Le second est dédié aux processus formels qui permettent de justifier la constitution du corpus en définissant la réflexivité des œuvres. Le troisième est voué à une analyse du caractère idéologique de cette métafiction, afin de montrer en quoi la mise en crise du super-héros sert un discours sur l'Histoire et la politique américaines. Le dernier s'intéresse à la manière dont les œuvres consacrent le super-héros comme figure de l'imagination : adoptant une approche fictionnaliste, on y démontre comment transfictionnalité et univers fictionnels sont utilisés pour revisiter / “Comic Book” is the Anglo-Saxon, more specifically American term employed to describe a specific material medium for comics. The epochal moment in the history of the comic book was the 1938 publication of « Superman », which marked the starting point of the hegemony of the figure of the superhero in comic production. Over the course of the twentieth century, authors and publishers have used various strategies for winning over readers and securing their loyalty. Among these, the technique of rewriting is the most significant. Thus, the superhero has been the subject of many reinterpretations, and consequently, has born witness to many facets of the United States’ history. The publications of the 1980s have seen the rise of a reflexive approach in which the superhero becomes an object of critique himself. This new genre is here referred to as Metacomic. Drawing on a representative body of works, the doctoral thesis at hand examines the strategies that constitute this reflexivity, as well as the multiple discourses that it gives rise to. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter gives an account of the comic book industry and explains its particularities, as well as the hegemonic position of the superhero genre in the industry. The second chapter attempts a definition of reflexivity in comic books, which permits to establish a body of works to be examined. The third chapter attempts an analysis of the ideological aspects of this metafiction in order to show how the crisis of the superhero reflects on a certain discourse on American history and politics. The fourth and last chapter examines how the analysed comics establish the superhero as an agent of imag

Ce mémoire est composé de deux parties distinctes. La première partie consiste en un recueil de poèmes intitulé Nous ne sommes pas tranquilles. Divisé en trois sections, ce dernier est le fruit d'un travail d'écriture cherchant à conserver l'élan brut et initial de la voix poétique. Une écoute de l'émergence d'une forme authentique et révélatrice du fond du poème s'est faite et s'est raffinée tout au long de la création. L'expression d'un besoin de rejoindre l'autre, que cet autre s'incarne dans le double, la figure amoureuse ou un « nous » collectif, se déploie dans une parole qui appelle la libération et l'espoir. Ce recueil est suivi d'un essai réflexif se penchant sur l'étape préparatoire à l'activité d'écriture, nommée l'antichambre du poème. Cette recherche de nature poétique, expérientielle et phénoménologique s'appuie sur des entretiens ayant été réalisés avec quatre poètes québécois : Claude Paradis, Louise Dupré, Paul Bélanger et Louise Warren. La pratique de la présence et les rituels personnels ont été examinés lors de ces rencontres, de la perspective du rôle unique qu'ils pourraient détenir dans le processus de création du poème. Les thèmes de l'accompagnement par les autres arts, de l'implication des sens et du corps, de la forme, de la volonté et de l'accueil ont entre autres été abordés. Les témoignages recueillis ont été mis en lien avec les essais et les recueils de ces mêmes auteurs, ainsi qu'avec les oeuvres de différents autres poètes et penseurs, tels que Gaston Bachelard, René Lapierre, Paul Chamberland, Susan-Lee Wyche-Smith et Myriam Watthee-Delmotte.

Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher," as early as 1839, reveals an uneasiness about the space of the house. Most literary scholars accept that this anxiety exists and causes some tension, since it seems antithetical to another dominant motif, that of the power of place and the home as sanctuary. My critical persona, like Poe's narrator in "The House of Usher," looks into a dark, silent tarn and shudders to see in it not only the reflection of the House of Usher, but perhaps the whole of what is "Southern" in Southern Literature. Many characters who inhabit the worlds of Southern stories also inhabit houses that, like the House of Usher, are built on the faulty foundation of an ideological system that divides the world into inside(r)/outside(r) and along numerous other binary lines. The task of constructing the self in spaces that house such ideologies poses a challenge to the characters in the works under consideration in this study, and their success in doing so is dependant on their ability to speak authentically in the language of silence and to dwell instead of to just inhabit interior spaces. In my reading of Faulkner and Warren, this ideology of division is clearly to be at fault in the collapse of houses, just as it is seen to be in the House of Usher. This emphasis is especially conspicuous in several works, beginning with Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! and its (pre)text, "Evangeline." Warren carries the motif forward in his late novels, Flood and Meet Me in the Green Glen. I examine these works relative to spatial analysis and an aesthetic of absence, including an interpretation of silence as a mode of authentic saying. I then discuss these motifs as they are operating in Toni Morrison's Beloved, and finally take Song of Solomon as both an end and a beginning to these texts' concerns with collapsing structures of narrative and house.
