1. Seed bank and seed rain represent dispersal in time and space. They can be important sources of diversity in the rural landscape, where fragmented habitats are linked by their histories. 2. Seed bank, seed rain and above-ground vegetation were sampled in four habitat types (abandoned semi-natural grassland (ABA), grazed former arable field (FAF), mid-field islet (MFI) and grazed semi-natural grassland (SNG)) in a rural landscape in southern Sweden, to examine whether community patterns can be distinguished at large spatial scales and whether seed bank and seed rain are best explained by current, past or intended future vegetation communities. 3. We counted 54 357 seedlings of 188 species from 1190 seed bank and 797 seed rain samples. Seed bank, seed rain and above-ground vegetation communities differed according to habitat. Several species characteristic of managed grassland vegetation were present in the seed bank, seed rain and vegetation of the other habitats. 4. The seed banks of SNGs and the seed rain of the FAFs were generally better predicted by the surrounding above-ground vegetation than were the other habitat types. The seed rain of the grazed communities was most similar to the vegetation in the FAFs, while the seed banks of the abandoned grasslands most resembled the vegetation in SNGs. 5. Gap availability and seed input could be limiting the colonisation of target species in FAFs, while remnant populations in the seed bank and the presence of grassland specialists in the above-ground vegetation indicate that abandoned grasslands and mid-field islets could be valuable sources of future diversity in the landscape after restoration. 6. Synthesis and applications. SNG communities are able to form seed banks which survive land-use change, but their seed rain does not reflect their above-ground communities. It is important that grassland plants set seed. By connecting existing grasslands with restoration targets, increased disturbance in the target habitats would allow for colonisation via the seed bank or seed rain, while decreased grazing intensity would benefit seed production in the source grasslands. Otherwise, landscape-wide propagule availability might increase with a more varied timing and intensity of management.

The history of Newfoundland is intimately tied to its relationship with the sea, to its island status and its consequent cultural isolation, to its reliance on fishing and more recently oil. But it is also one of tides - of prosperity and loss, migration and resettlement, of occupation and erasure. This research is an investigation into the nature of mutable landscapes – shifting settlements, resources and infrastructures. It is recognized that the needs of each community and the resources of each environment are diverse in type and supply. The spatialization of an energy infrastructure has the opportunity to link, in a dynamic system, the ecological, political, cultural, and historical constituents atomized communities. It has the potential to be a dynamic system that forces a presence in the everyday lives of a cultural habitat. This investigation tests the possibility for a contemporary energy infrastructure, usually hidden from the cultural landscape, to become a physically and culturally pronounced manifestation of a layered historical narrative. This work exhumes histories of Newfoundland and uncovers omnipresent themes of mutability, shifting, movement, and transience, presenting the history of Newfoundland as a fluctuating story of the sea. These stories not only frame the historical spatializations of Newfoundland’s population, its infrastructures, and economies through various media, but they also simultaneously outline the social and economic deficiencies of modern approaches to developing the island. Structured chronologically, the research forms the basis for an investigation into new ideas for an infrastructure off the southern coast of Newfoundland. This design project exemplifies themes of shifting and movement through a mobile, water-based energy, research, and cultural infrastructure. It is situated off the southern coast of Newfoundland and engages both the land and the sea. This thesis does not try to tame, resolve, or control the sea. The sea is always itself, ordered by its own cycles of tides, currents and ecologies. One can really only synchronize the relationships between land and sea.

This creative project presents guidelines for Rail to Trail Conversion. A preliminary plan for conversion of the CSX running from Richmond County through Delaware County, and ending in Marion County, Indiana, is presented as a case study. The line, which connects several communities and several points of interest along the railroad right-of-way, has been requested for abandonment.To keep the line for interim public use, one of the possibilities is to convert the line to trail use. The trail corridor might create a good linkage between several adjacent places, because it provides various recreational zones along the former railroad right-ofway. There will be two different kinds of trail corridor-urban and rural trail. The distinction between the two will be one of use, urban trails will be used for daily activities and rural trails usually used primarily during weekends, holidays, and vacation time.The development of trail corridor will also encourage movement of people foreither cycling or walking. Campgrounds, wildlife watching stations, scenic overlook areas, trailheads, and outdoor fitness centers are the most common auxiliary components associated with trail development. Wherever the improvement passes through communities, the communities will benefit from the improvement of retailing activities. Each improvement requires certain criteria of location and land surface.Rail to trail conversion is a costly project. In order to make the project easier and economically feasible, the project should encourage more individuals, private organizations, and public agencies to get involved with the conservation. Local newspapers, broadcast on local radio and television, and interest group workshops are the most effective means of developing support. Time is critical in developing succesful rail to trail conversion. The project should be implemented as soon as the railroad has been abandoned, in order to prevent the tracks reverting to adjacent landowners. / Department of Urban Planning

Este trabalho versa sobre a hipótese de reparação civil por abandono afetivo que decorre da infração ao dever de cuidado do idoso. Analisa-se a tutela dos direitos dos idosos no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro através de um retrospecto legal com sutil referência ao contexto histórico mundial e ao Direito Comparado. Contextualiza-se a interpretação dos direitos dos idosos em face do fundamento do Direito pátrio na dignidade da pessoa humana a partir da Constituição Federal de 1988 e a transposição desta no Direito Civil e no Direito de Família. Adiante é apreciado o abandono afetivo, seu conceito e expansão pela a adoção do modelo atual eudemonista da família que importou na inclusão do dever de cuidado como elemento do afeto. A seguir o cuidado é abordado enquanto infração ao dever que dele decorre para identificação da conduta omissiva. Por fim, é explorado o instituto da responsabilidade civil, através do estudo de cada um dos seus requisitos, para conclusão quanto ao cabimento do dever de reparação pela constatação da ocorrência do ato ilícito de infração ao dever de cuidado que implica abandono afetivo em razão do dano que dele resulta e da extensão deste, isto valorado no caso concreto. / This paper deals with the hypothesis of civil reparation for affective abandonment of the elderly that results from the violation of the duty of care of the elderly. It analyzes the protection of the rights of the elderly in the Brazilian legal system through a legal retrospect with subtle reference to the world historical context and Comparative Law. The interpretation of the rights of the elderly in the face of the foundation of the patrimony right in the dignity of the human being is contextualized from the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the transposition of this one in the Civil Law and in the Right of Family. Above, affection abandonment, its concept and its expansion are appreciated by the adoption of the current eudemonist model of the family that has imported the inclusion of the duty of care as an element of affection. Care is then approached as an infraction of the duty derived from it to identify the omissive conduct. Finally, the institute of civil responsibility is explored, through the study of each one of its requirements, to conclude on the compliance of the duty to make reparation for the finding of the occurrence of the illicit act of infraction to the duty of care that implies affective abandonment due to the damage that results from it and the extent of it, that is valued in the concrete case.

Linguistic barriers in education?: the influence of the language in school desertionThe present work has as its objective to evaluate the effect of having a native language different than Spanish over the probability of abandoning basic schooling. For that purpose a proportional risk duration model (Cox) and an accelerated fail time model are used, using information from 2008 and 2009 ENAHO, as well as 2007 Censo Escolar. In both models we find a positive effect over the probability of leaving primary studies when having Quechua as a native language.  The results, for the case of the Quechua speakers, can show part of the effectiveness of the intercultural and bilingual education program (programa de Educación Intercultural Bilingüe or EIB in Spanish) for the reduction of inequality in the process of human capital accumulation / El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar el efecto de contar con una lengua materna distinta del castellano sobre la probabilidad de abandonar los estudios básicos en el Perú (en el nivel de primaria o secundaria). Para ello se emplea un modelo de duración de riesgo proporcional (Cox) y un modelo de tiempo de falla acelerado, utilizando información de la ENAHO 2008 y 2009, así como del Censo Escolar 2008. En ambos modelos se encuentra un efecto positivo sobre la probabilidad de abandonar los estudios durante la primaria cuando se tiene al quechua como lengua materna. Los resultados encontrados, para el caso de la población quechua, echan luces sobre la efectividad del programa de educación intercultural bilingüe (EIB) para la reducción de brechas en la acumulación de capital humano.

O fato de que o Poder Judiciário assumiu um protagonismo excepcional na administração das relações e afetos familiares nos últimos anos, não é novidade. Ações de reconhecimento de paternidade, divórcio, partilha de bens, guarda de filhos e pagamento de pensão são comuns no cotidiano forense. A novidade, contudo, são ações nas quais se reclama indenização por ausência de afeto, em especial na relação paterna. A pesquisa revela que o Judiciário, com seu discurso, tem uma força constitutiva da realidade, e contribui para despertar de novas moralidades e sensibilidades familiares. Contudo, para a constituição dessas novas sensibilidades – dentre as quais está o abandono – o Judiciário se socorre de uma racionalidade que seja capaz de dar crédito às percepções do abandono, pois os processos são permeados de uma lógica, segundo a qual as emoções ocupam um lugar de não-direito. As ações envolvendo as relações familiares comunicam, a todo instante, que a criança cuja infância foi marcada pela ausência paterna pode apresentar problemas futuros, de modo que as construções jurídicas em torno da supressão do abandono e os discursos jurídicos como um todo denunciam a percepção de uma normalidade familiar e de uma pedagogia da paternidade para alcança-la. Finalmente, este universo revela a ideia segundo a qual a paternidade foi construída como subsidiária em relação à maternidade. Na medida em que as mulheres são consideradas como responsáveis pela criação dos filhos, no discurso jurídico o pai que paga pensão regularmente, rompe com a lógica do dom na parentalidade, convertendo-a numa relação mercantil que percebe no auxílio financeiro o cumprimento integral das obrigações paternas. Tem-se, assim, uma lógica que delineia uma noção de normalidade familiar, perpassada por distintos valores de gênero em relação à maternidade e à paternidade. / The aim of this work is to discuss the new place taken by the State regarding feelings management, especially in legal actions involving the so-called paternal abandonment. The fact that the Judiciary has had an unusual role in the management of family relationships and affections in recent years is nothing new at all. Legal actions regarding acknowledgment of paternity, divorce, division of property, child custody and child support are common in everyday judicial activities. What is new, however, are actions claiming indemnity for lack of affection, especially in relation to father-child relationship. The research shows that the Judiciary, with its discourse, has an essential power of reality, and contributes to the rebirth of new moralities and familiar sensibilities. Nevertheless, for the development of these new sensitivities – amongst them, the abandonment - the Judiciary trusts on a rationality that is able to give credit to the perceptions of abandonment, because the actions are based on reasoning, where emotions have no rights. Actions involving family relations, state at all times, that the child whose childhood was marked by paternal absence, may present future problems, so the legal understanding of the elimination of abandonment and the legal discourses, as a whole, denounces the perception of a family normality and fatherhood pedagogy to achieve it. Finally, this universe expresses the idea that fatherhood is somehow less important than motherhood. While women are considered responsible for the child’s upbringing, in the legal discourse, the father who regularly pays child support, breaks up with the idea of having the gift for parenthood, turning it into a commercial relationship that recognizes, in the financial assistance, the complete conformity to parental commitment. Thus, there is a thought that describes a concept of family normality, formed by different gender values regarding motherhood and fatherhood.

[pt] A presente pesquisa tem como objeto a análise do cabimento da Responsabilidade Civil dos pais em relação aos filhos por abandono afetivo. Primeiramente, será apresentada a instituição família no direito civil constitucional brasileiro, o conceito de família e sua evolução histórica bem como a importância dos pais na formação dos filhos, para, posteriormente, examinar a legislação pertinente à família e filiação. Sob a nova perspectiva familiar, serão estudados os princípios adotados pelo ordenamento jurídico brasileiro no que se refere ao direito dos filhos, analisando-se, o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, da paternidade responsável e planejamento familiar, da afetividade e do melhor interesse da criança e do adolescente. Sobre o instituto da responsabilidade civil, observar-se-ão pontos relevantes, incluindo o estudo dos danos morais. Serão examinados os pressupostos da responsabilidade civil à luz do abandono parental afetivo, verificando-se como tais elementos são preenchidos no caso concreto. Ademais, será vislumbrada a efetiva função da indenização, analisando a controvérsia pendente sobre este assunto. Feitas as considerações doutrinárias, será analisada a posição da jurisprudência pátria acerca do assunto, para um total esclarecimento sobre o mesmo. Por fim, conclui-se o tema, de forma a tentar solucionar os questionamentos levantados por todo o corpo da pesquisa. / [en] This research aims to analyze the appropriateness of the Civil Liability of parents towards their children for emotional abandonement. First, the family institution is presented as seen in the Brazilian constitutional civil law, the concept of family and its historical evolution and the importance of parents in the education of their children, to then examine the laws relevant to family and affiliation. Under the new family perspective, the principles adopted by Brazilian law regarding children s rights will be studied as well as examine the principle of human dignity, responsible parenting and family planning, affectivity and the best interests of children and adolescents. On the institution of liability relevant issues will be observed, including the issue of punitive damages. Assumptions of liability will be examined in the light of parental affective abandonment, verifying how these elements are satisfied. Moreover, effective function of the indemnity will be envisioned, analyzing pending controversies on this subject. As doctrinal considerations are done, the position of homeland jurisprudence on the subject will be analyzed, in order to reach total clarification. Finally, the subject concludes, so to try to resolve the questions raised by the entire body of the research.

Esta pesquisa é um estudo etnográfico que trata do relacionamento entre humanos e animais tendo como foco analítico as mudanças de atitudes em relação aos animais, de uma forma geral, e dos abandonados, de uma forma particular. A partir do contexto de Porto Alegre/RS, esta investigação busca, especificamente, acessar os distintos códigos morais e as diferentes sensibilidades envolvidas na relação humanos-animais, bem como as transformações acerca da responsabilidade humana sobre os animais e no tratamento dispensado a eles. A atuação de ONGs no acolhimento de animais abandonados e na organização de feiras de adoção, revela novas modalidades de militância. A “ajuda animalitária”, designação escolhida para definir este tipo de envolvimento com a “causa animal”, tem gerado embates discursivos em torno do estatuto dos animais – seguidamente contra a mercadorização e o uso utilitário -, com desdobramentos até mesmo na forma como o Estado tem lidado com tais questões. / This is an ethnographic study of the relationship between humans and animals in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre. In this study, general changes in attitude towards animals as well as more specific concerns regarding animal abandonment were analyzed. This investigation sought to identify the distinct moral codes and sensibilities involved in human-animal relations; moreover, transformations in expectations relative to human responsibility towards animals and their treatment were likewise observed. It was also noted that new modalities of militancy revealed themselves in the activities of local NGOs which shelter abandoned animals and organize pet adoption fairs. Ajuda animalitária, or “animal rescue” is the preferred designation for this type of commitment to the „animal cause‟, a term which has generated discursive confrontation in debates touching on the statute of animals. In turn, the effects of this militancy - which is frequently against animal merchandizing and the utilitarian use of animals – unfold in society to such an extent that they even influence how the State has come to deal with these issues.

MÉTODOS: Estudo ecológico exploratório de agregado espacial, em 114 municípios prioritários para tuberculose em 2004 e 109 em 2005 nos estados do Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Sul e São Paulo, utilizando-se dados da coorte de casos de tuberculose. RESULTADOS: Porto Alegre apresentou nos dois anos o menor percentual de Unidades de Saúde com Programa de Controle da Tuberculose e DOTS implantados e menor cobertura do Programa Saúde da Família, contudo não foi a capital com menores percentuais de cura no mesmo período. Da mesma forma, os municípios do Rio Grande do Sul foram os com menores coberturas DOTS, mas não necessariamente os com menores proporções de cura e de abandono quando comparados aos das outras Unidades Federadas do estudo. Cuiabá foi a capital com maiores coberturas DOTS, maiores percentuais de cura e menores de abandono. Nenhuma das capitais atingiu os 85% de cura e 5% de abandono preconizados pelo Ministério da Saúde. A mediana da cura entre os municípios selecionados no período variou em 2005, de 63,6% em Pernambuco a 81,7% no Amazonas, em 2004. O valor mediano da proporção de abandono variou de 5,7 em São Paulo, 2005 a 11,5% em Mato Grosso, 2004. As menores coberturas do Programa Saúde da Família foram no Rio Grande do Sul. CONCLUSÕES: Neste estudo, os maiores percentuais de cura e os menores de abandono não estão associados à estratégia DOTS. / Salvador
