Esta pesquisa aborda as condições da produção do espaço urbano e sua imagem a partir da realização da Copa do Mundo de Futebol da Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) de 2014, e as contradições entre elas. Para tal, recorre, sobretudo, às bases teóricometodológicas advindas de Henri Lefebvre, Guy Debord e outros membros da Internacional Situacionista (IS), bem como a Karl Marx e Robert Kurz. As cidades sede da Copa de 2014, mais notadamente São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e São Lourenço da Mata/Recife, constituem o espaço de análise para compreender as relações entre Estado e capital, bem como suas formas de efetivação no cotidiano e no espaço. Em busca de desvendar o papel do Estado na reprodução (crítica) do capitalismo, foram analisadas as leis federais voltadas para a Copa de 2014; a carta de crédito do Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES) destinada à construção das arenas; o Regime de Diferenciado de Contratações Públicas (RDC); as Parcerias Público-Privadas; e os Certificados de Incentivo ao Desenvolvimento (CID) concedidos pela prefeitura de São Paulo. Os resultados e consequências desse processo efetivam-se na espacialidade urbana e em seu cotidiano por meio de estratégias como, por exemplo, FIFA Fan Fest,smart city,naming right,áreas de restrição comercial, crime por marketing de emboscada,ranking de cidadesmarcas, direitos de imagem e de marketing da FIFA. Diante disso irrompe a hipótese de que a produção do espaço espetaculariza-se, e a cidade torna-se cenário na medida em que sua imagem é produzida e comercializada autonomizada de seus conteúdos e contradições. Reduzida a cenário, a cidade vê-se diante de novos processos de fragmentação e segregação, o que possibilita avançar na compreensão de novos negócios com o urbano e sua paisagem. / This research approaches the conditions and contradictions between the production of urban space and its image, based on the FIFAs Football World Cup 2014 event. For this purpose, uses the theoretical and methodological bases arising from Henri Lefebvre, Guy Debord and other members of the Situationist International, as well as Karl Marx and Robert Kurz. The Cup host cities in 2014, especially Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and São Lourenço da Mata/Recife, constitute the scope of analysis to understand the relations between state and capital as well as their ways of realization in daily life and space. Seeking to unravel the States role in the (critical) reproduction of capitalism, we have analyzed the Federal Laws aimed at the 2014 World Cup, the BNDESs line of credit granted for the construction of the World Cup stadiums; the Differentiated Contracting Regime; the Public-Private Partnerships; and the Development Incentive Certificates granted by São Paulos City Hall. The results and consequences of this process are materialized in urban spatiality and in daily life through strategies such as the FIFAs Fan Fests; smart city; naming right; areas of trade restraint; crime of ambush marketing; ranking city-brands; FIFAs image rights and marketing rights. In light of this arises the hypothesis that the production of space becomes spectacular, and the city becomes scenario to the extent that its image is produced and marketed autonomized of its contents and contradictions. Reduced to scenario, the city faces new processes of fragmentation and segregation, which enables us to a better understanding of the new business with the urban and its landscape.

The theoretical part deals with the characteristics of sport events and presents the International Ski Federation FIS, including its structure, and marketing and technical concept of the races in the FIS Tour de Ski. The introduction to the practical part focuses on the history of cross-country skiing, the structure of the most important cross-country races in the world, and presents the town of Nove Mesto na Morave and the race Golden Ski. Then follows the description of the allocation process of the World Cup race and possibilities of its abolition. The main part of the diploma thesis is a detailed analysis of the Golden Ski race in the Tour de Ski. The analysis deals with the topics related to the organizing committee, technical support, scoring, invitations, accreditation, accommodation, marketing, transportation, and accompanying program of Golden Ski. The thesis concludes with financial background and short mention of Slavic Cup.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo analisar a realização da Copa do Mundo de Futebol de 2014 no Brasil, levando em consideração não apenas seus legados e impactos mais evidentes, mas principalmente compreendendo-a como parte substantiva da dinâmica mais geral do modo de produção capitalista em sua relação com as cidades-sede, os lugares. Como maiores eventos do planeta, as Copas apresentam-se como veículos passageiros e particulares do processo de totalização do capitalismo, sendo simultaneamente matrizes parciais do tempo e do espaço desse período histórico marcado pela crise econômica internacional. Nesse movimento, tendo os lugares como espaços finais de sua realização, esses megaeventos deixam marcas profundas; promovem a qualificação de uma determinada fração do tempo no qual ocorrem, determinados pelas necessidades do capital de se reproduzir lucrativamente, algo complexo nesse momento crítico. A totalidade, essa trama de eventos emaranhada entre as necessidades e possibilidades concretas dos lugares, ganha novos desenhos nas cidades a partir do contato com a agenda estabelecida pelo megaevento. Desde 2007, quando o Brasil foi escolhido como sede do Mundial e a crise econômica já aparecia no horizonte dos Estados Unidos e da Europa, as cidades brasileiras vivem a realidade desta agenda crítica pautada pela Federação Internacional de Futebol (FIFA). Tendo como pano de fundo as estratégias rígidas das corporações patrocinadoras e interessadas no evento, promove-se um verdadeiro estado de emergência para o atendimento das normas e padrões FIFA. Tomadas por uma avalanche de obras e negócios imobiliários desvinculados de planos estratégicos associados às necessidades mais sentidas da população, as cidades-sede tornam-se experimentos de novas formas de privatização e espoliação, sob o regime de leis de exceção e violações de direitos. Tal dinâmica imposta às cidades da Copa como um todo é manifesta de forma evidente na elaboração de uma nova centralidade na Região Metropolitana de Recife por meio da construção do grande empreendimento imobiliário Cidade da Copa, a partir do novo estádio construído para o evento. Trata-se pois, da eclosão no Brasil de uma crise fundamentalmente urbana que, se por um lado estrutura verdadeiras cidades de exceção, no outro vértice promove também a força criativa das resistências. Como demonstraram as manifestações urbanas multitudinárias de junho de 2013 e os protestos ininterruptos que se seguiram a elas, a revanche dos lugares à agenda da Copa pode estruturar também cidades rebeldes como legados. / This dissertation aims to examine the implementation of the World Cup 2014 in Brazil, taking into consideration not only its legacy and most obvious impacts, but mostly understanding it as a substantive part of the wider dynamics of the capitalist way of production in its relationship with the host cities, the places. As some of the biggest events on the planet, the World Cups are presented as individual and transitory vehicles of the aggregation process of capitalism, while being simultaneous matrices of time and space during this historical period marked by global economic crisis. In this movement, having spaces as the places of their full realization, these mega events leave deep marks; they promote the qualification of a certain fraction of the time in which they occur, determined by the needs of capital to play profitably, something complex during this critical moment. The totality, this \"web of events\" tangled between the concrete needs and possibilities of places, gains new designs in cities from contact with the agenda set by the mega event. Since 2007, when Brazil was chosen to host this event and the economic crisis had already appeared on the North American and European horizon, Brazilian cities are living the reality of a critical agenda guided by the International Football Federation (FIFA). In the background of the rigid strategies of the sponsors and corporations interested in the event, a true state of emergency is promoted to meet norms and \"FIFA standards\". Taken by an avalanche of construction sites and real state negotiations unrelated to strategic plans that take into account the needs of the population, the host cities become experiments in new forms of privatization and dispossession, under the regime of emergency laws and rights violations. Such dynamics - imposed on the World Cup cities as a whole - is clearly manifested in the drafting of a new central location in the metropolitan area of Recife through the construction of large real estate project called \"Cidade da Copa\", around the stadium built for the event. This is the outbreak in Brazil of a fundamentally urban crisis, where on the one hand \"cities of exception\" are structured, and in another vertex a creative power of resistance is also promoted. As demonstrated in the multitudinous urban protests of June 2013 and the uninterrupted protests that followed them, the requital that took places in host cities can also structure \"rebellious cities\" as legacies.

Abstract An experimental method was developed that demonstrated the size effects in forming thin sheet metals, and a finite element model was developed to predict the effects demonstrated by the experiment. A universal testing machine (UTM) was used to form aluminum and copper of varying thicknesses (less than 1mm) into a hemispherical dome. A stereolithography additive manufacturing technology was used to fabricate the punch and die from a UV curing resin. There was agreement between the experimental and numerical models. The results showed that geometric size effects were significant for both materials, and these effects increased as the thickness of the sheets decreased. The demonstration presents an inexpensive method of testing small-scale size effects in forming processes, which can be altered easily to produce different shapes and clearances.

South Africa was presented with the unique opportunity of hosting the first 2010 FIFA World Cup (FWC) on African soil. This unique opportunity further extended itself to the non-hotel accommodation providers, as it was the first time in history that FIFA agreed to accredit non-hotel accommodation providers for the tournament. The research intended to examine the extent of the use of the housing asset to generate income from the 2010 FWC. The study was conducted in the municipal area of eThekwini Municipality (Durban), South Africa. The case study areas consisted of the lower-middle income, upper-middle income and high-income areas of Umbilo, Manor Gardens and Durban North respectively. The data collection method used in the study areas was a household survey with 30 respondents. The respondents were from the high-income area of Durban North, upper middle-income area of Manor Gardens and lower-middle income area of Umbilo. Interviews were conducted to collect data from financial institutions. Data was collected from conventional and non-conventional financial institutions. The findings of the study revealed that the extent to which the housing asset was used to generate income from the 2010 FWC was not high or considerable. This was due to many home-based enterprise (HBE) owners stating that FIFA would stand to benefit largely from the 2010 FWC, with no institutional support for HBE owners to benefit from government. It was also found that conventional and non-conventional financial institutions were not willing to provide financial assistance to HBE owners specifically for generating income from the 2010 FIFA World Cup, due to the short duration of the event. In conclusion, it was recommended that instruments to drive the implementation of the policies be deployed, to create an enabling environment for the small business sector to grow at a household level. A policy should be developed in eThekwini Municipality that standardises the land use management applications and zoning for accommodation providers and HBEs in line with the eThekwini Municipality’s drive to be the ‘Events Capital of Africa’. Intervention from government at all levels is required to ensure that the HBEs in the small business sector benefit from mega-events such as the 2010 FWC. / M.

La révision d’arthroplastie de la hanche en cas d’important déficit osseux acétabulaire peut être difficile. Les reconstructions avec cupule de très grand diamètre ou cupule « jumbo » (≥ 62 mm chez la femme et ≥ 66 mm chez l’homme) sont une option thérapeutique. Nous voulions évaluer la préservation et la restauration du centre de rotation de la hanche reconstruite en la comparant au coté controlatéral sain ou selon les critères de Pierchon et al. Nous voulions également évaluer la stabilité du montage à un suivi d’au moins 2 ans. Il s’agissait de 53 cas consécutifs de révision acétabulaire pour descellement non septique avec implantation d’une cupule jumbo sans ciment à l’Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont. Le déficit osseux évalué selon la classification de Paprosky et al. Les cupules implantées avaient un diamètre moyen de 66 mm (62-81) chez les femmes et 68 mm (66-75) chez les hommes. L’allogreffe osseuse morcelée et massive était utilisée dans 34 et dans 14 cas respectivement. La cupule a été positionnée avec un angle d’inclinaison moyen de 41.3° (26.0-53.0). Le centre de rotation de la hanche reconstruite a été jugé satisfaisant dans 78% de cas sur l'axe médiolatéral, 71% sur l'axe craniopodal et amélioré dans 27% dans cet axe. Au recul moyen radiologique de 84.0 mois (24.0-236.4) et clinique de 91.8 mois (24.0 – 241.8): 6 cas étaient décédés, 3 perdus au suivi. On a observé le descellement radiologique dans un 1 cas, la luxation récidivante dans 5 cas et l’infection dans 4 cas. Le retrait de la cupule a été effectué dans 2 cas pour infection. L’ostéointégration des greffons osseux était complète dans tous les cas sauf 3. Les scores cliniques étaient pour le HHS de 82 +/-17, le WOMAC de 86 +/- 14 et le SF-12 physique de 46 +/- 12 et mental 53 +/-13. La cupule jumbo peut être considérée comme un moyen fiable pour gérer le déficit osseux dans les révisions acétabulaires. Elle permet de conserver ou d’améliorer la position du centre de rotation physiologique de la hanche. La fixation sans ciment favorise l’ostéointégration de la cupule et permet une stabilité à moyen terme. Le taux de complications est comparable ou inférieur à d'autres procédures de reconstruction. / Acetabular implant revision with large bone defects, can be challenging. One of the reconstruction options is a large outer diameter cup or “jumbo cup” (≥62 mm in women and ≥66 mm in men). We hypothesized that cementless jumbo cups is a reliable technique to preserve or reconstruct hip center of rotation. We also evaluated stability at least 2 two years follow up. Fifty-three consecutive non septic loosening acetabular arthroplasty revisions at Hopital Maisonneuve-Rosemont where a cementless jumbo cup was used were assessed. Bone defect was evaluated according to Paprosky classification. Mean implanted component size was 66 mm (62-81) in women and 68 mm (66-75) in men. Cancelous bone chips allograft was used in 34 cases and bulk bone allograft in 14. Immediate postoperative AP view showed a mean abduction cup angle of 41.3° (26.0-53.0). Hip centre were found at satisfy position in 78% on mediolateral axis, in 71% on craniopodal axis and it was improved in 27% in this late axis. At the mean follow up of 84.0 months (24.0-236.4) radiologically and 91.8 months (24.0-241.8) clinically: 6 patients were died and 3 were lost of follow up. Complications were: dislocation in 5 cases (4 revisions with constrained liner), infection in 4 cases (2 treated conservatively and 2 revised in 2 times procedure) and radiographic loosening in 1 case. Bone graft integration was completed in all except in 3 cases. Clinically, the mean HHS was 82% +/- 17, WOMAC 86 +/- 14, physical SF-12 46 +/- 12 and mentally SF-12 53 +/- 13. Jumbo cups appear as a reliable procedure to manage bone loss in acetabular revision. It allows conservation or improvement of physiologic hip center. Also, cementless fixation promote bone integration. with subsequent cup stabilitity. The complication rate is comparable or may be less than others reconstruction procedures .

No. of bitstreams: 1 Priscila3.pdf: 5588142 bytes, checksum: c419d53eb54e33c398cdfd5bf3d5faa3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-02 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This research sought to understand the symbolic production of media discourses relating to World Cup 2014, identifying a possible amalgamation between the arguments of advertisements and news stories related to the event, mainly directed to the construction of a idealized fan. This theme was designed after identifying a more positive tone in advertising and journalistic materials directed to competition, during and after the riots of 2013 in Brazil, in which, among several guidelines, critical to the achievement of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil questioned the excessive governmental spending and local rights violations communities located in the host cities. As objects of study, was selected advertisements of sponsoring brands of the Brazilian Team and journalistic content of the Jornal Nacional and ESPNS’s SportsCenter, which were submitted to Discourse Analysis. In order to understand the communication processes and cultural practices involving this sport, we base the theoretical assumptions on Cultural Studies, seeking to understand the interface between football, the media discourse and cultural production of the media. We identify the reproduction of stereotypes consolidated about the Brazilian people, Brazil and, beyond that, trying to shape a committed supporter but docile. Among journalistic objects analyzed, the information contained in SportsCenter was the least approached this profile, but with the approach of the mega event, reports unveiled the ethos of the perfect Brazil and chimeric fan. / Esta pesquisa buscou entender a produção simbólica dos discursos midiáticos referentes à Copa do Mundo 2014, identificando um possível amálgama entre as argumentações de peças publicitárias e matérias jornalísticas referentes ao evento, sobretudo direcionadas à construção de um torcedor idealizado. Esse tema foi pensado após identificarmos um tom mais positivo nos materiais publicitários e jornalísticos dirigidos à competição, durante e após as manifestações de 2013, nas quais, entre diversas pautas, críticos à realização da Copa do Mundo FIFA 2014 no Brasil questionavam os gastos públicos excessivos e as violações dos direitos locais de comunidades localizadas em cidades-sede. Como objetos de estudo, selecionamos peças publicitárias de marcas patrocinadoras da Seleção Brasileira e conteúdos jornalísticos do Jornal Nacional e SportsCenter, que foram submetidos a uma reflexão subsidiada na Análise do Discurso e nos Estudo Culturais. A fim de compreendermos os processos comunicacionais e as práticas culturais que envolvem este esporte, nos pautamos nos pressupostos teóricos dos Estudos Culturais, buscando entender a interface entre o futebol, o discurso midiático e a produção cultural da mídia. Identificamos a reprodução dos estereótipos consolidados acerca do brasileiro, do Brasil e, para além disso, tentativa em moldar um torcedor engajado, mas docilizado. Entre os objetos jornalísticos analisados, os conteúdos divulgados pelo SportsCenter foi o que menos se aproximou deste perfil, embora com a aproximação do megaevento, reportagens desvelaram o ethos do Brasil perfeito e do torcedor quimérico.
