For the analysis of that relationship among the education proposal for the indigenous schools and fulfillment, the research is based in the analysis of the official documentation, in the field work through the participation in the activities of the school, in the collection of information and registration of the observations through the contact with it community and of the use of interview methods, inside of the beginnings of a research ethnography / Neste trabalho o centro da investigação é a Escola Estadual Indígena Djekupé Amba Arandu, localizada no bairro Jaraguá na capital paulista tendo em vista as atuais discussões a favor de uma educação diferenciada e pluralista que se representa nos textos de leis e políticas governamentais. Para a análise dessa relação entre a proposta educacional para as escolas indígenas e sua efetivação, a pesquisa se fundamenta na análise da documentação oficial, no trabalho de campo através da participação nas atividades da escola, na coleta de informações e registro das observações por meio do contato com sua comunidade e do uso de métodos de entrevista, dentro dos princípios de uma pesquisa etnográfica

By positioning within an alternative development and agency/actor-oriented perspectives, and by employing diverse qualitative research methods, this study examines the dynamics of community self-help development and scaling up. The study investigates the processes and factors that contribute to successful community self-help development that leads to community capacity and empowerment. The diverse processes, through which poor people, through their individual and collective agency, strategize their actions, resist and negotiate with other stakeholders is emphasised. Community’s own mobilization for self-management, based on the networks of self-help groups; trusted leadership drawn from community members with excellent mobilization skill to spark community’s own mobilization for empowerment; poor people’s collective agency; trust that builds community and promotes collective actions; genuine participation within the community, which is realized because of planned and spontaneous interaction among intimate, small groups of people; and outside supports from government and NGOs, based on the bottom up proposals of communities are the main processes and elements of successful community self-help development. On the other hand, the study has shown that the scaling up of such successful community self-help development in Ethiopia is constrained by unfavourable institutional arrangements within the government structures, lack of capacity and power among local governments and inescapable nominal and instrumental participation, rather than genuine participation to build local people’s capability. Methodological limitations and lack of awareness about the goal of scaling up within the existing replication efforts are other challenges of scaling up. The researcher argues that the existing institutions and participatory practices may present opportunities for a gradual actualization of people’s agency, because the poor are capable of formulating new ways of strategizing and combining available resources in a new manner to solve problems. Thus, by using the available, small opportunity and systematically combining with other grassroots development approaches, by emphasizing on small, intimate groups of people (community/village), alternative spaces of scaling up can be identified and used.

Η παρούσα διπλωματική αποτελεί την προσπάθεια κατασκευής ενός cache controller βασισμένο στον AHB BUS. Η ανάπτυξή του έγινε ως επί το πλείστο στο Εργαστήριο Vlsi του τμήματος Μηχανικών Υπολογιστών και Πληροφορικής με την προοπτική να ενσωματωθεί σε ένα ευρύτερο υπάρχων σύστημα βασισμένο στον open source cpu της arm Cortex M0. Δοκιμάστηκε επιτυχώς σε FPGA του εργαστηρίου αλλά ακόμα δεν έχει χρησιμοποιηθεί σε «πραγματικές συνθήκες». Απώτερος στόχος είναι να χρησιμοποιηθεί στο εργαστήριο για την επιτάχυνση εφαρμογών που θα χρειαστούν εξωτερική μνήμη δηλ. μεγαλύτερη μνήμη από την embedded του FPGA. Αν και δεν δοκιμάστηκε σε κάποιο άλλο σύστημα έχει φτιαχτεί με γνώμονα το πρότυπο του AHB οπότε υποθετικά δεν θα έχει κάποιο πρόβλημα να ενσωματωθεί σε οποιοδήποτε συμβατό με τον δίαυλο σύστημα. Η λογική πίσω από την υλοποίηση του είναι να είναι σχετικά εύκολη η αλλαγή ορισμένων μεταβλητών ώστε να διαφοροποιείται ο controller βάση των αναγκών του καθενός. Οι προδιαγραφές δίνονται παρακάτω αν και πιθανόν εκτός των πλαισίων της διπλωματικής και εντός του 2014 να επανα-σχεδιαστεί ώστε να γίνει πλήρως modular. / Cache controller compatible with AHB bus in system Verilog.

In this work was studying literature related to object orientated programming tools for hardware design, capabilities for modeling and synthesis of high-level models of abstraction. It was founded-out the operating principles of high-speed bus and created prototype of such bus in TLM level. It was created methodology for transformation of high-speed bus prototype to RTL level. This methodology was used for transformation of high-speed bus prototype to RTL level. Transformed module was synthesized to gate level. Simulation speed of high-speed bus model in TLM was compared with simulation speed of model in behavioral level. It was demonstrated universality and reuse capabilities of TLM models.

Magister Theologiae - MTh / This thesis is based on the recognition that there are similarities and differences between two notions of Christian ministry, that is, a “discipleship of equals” as defined by Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza (1989) and a “partnership of both men and women” as defined by Mercy Amba Oduyoye (1990). In this thesis, Christian ministry is assessed through the perspectives of both feminist theology and African women’s theology. The question which is addressed here is how the similarities and differences between Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza’s notion of Christian ministry as a “discipleship of equals” and Mercy Amba Oduyoye’s notion of Christian ministry as a “partnership of both men and women” should be understood and assessed. The main purpose of this thesis is to offer a critical comparison of these two female theologians so as to encourage new visions of Christian ministry in the contemporary church and society. To accomplish this task, a literature survey of books, essays, and articles published on the subject of Christian ministry in feminist and African women’s theology by African and Western theologians, between 1960 and 2003, was conducted. Two notions of how Christian ministry should be understood are offered. Fiorenza emphasizes that both women and men need to be recognized as disciples of Christ who can equally, yet within diversity, minister to God’s people by virtue of their baptisms. Oduyoye notes that reciprocity and mutuality is crucial for both men and women who minister to God’s people by forming strong partnerships through their respective vocations and ministries, by virtue of their baptisms. This thesis argues that a comparison of the views of Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza and Mercy Amba Oduyoye on Christian ministry reveals similarities based on a shared experience of being women within a male-dominated Christian church and differences emanating from the different contexts within which they practice theology, namely, that of Euro-American feminist theology and that of African women’s theology. It is argued that there are significant differences between feminist theology and African women’s theology, with reference to their context, rhetoric, experiences and modes of expression. A critical assessment of Oduyoye’s notion of Christian ministry as a “partnership of both men and women” reveals that there is an internal problem within African theology. The predicament within which African women theologians find themselves is that they have to struggle not only against patriarchy in church and society but also against the remaining distortions within what is deemed to be a more progressive theology. African women theologians acknowledge their solidarity with African theologians but also identify fundamental flaws within African theology. African women theologians are therefore engaged in a battle on more than one side. They need to unmask and support at the same time. On the other hand, it is clear that Fiorenza is far less critical of the feminist movement, from which she derives the term “feminist hermeneutics”. She is, of course, quite aware of the various and successive strands of the feminist movement, but she remains at least sympathetic to this movement and seeks to explore its significance for biblical scholarship and especially the Roman Catholic Church, of which she is a member. She recognises the need to complement the (sometimes reductionist) secular manifestations of feminism by highlighting the oppressive but also the potentially liberative role which religious traditions may still have in a secularised civil society. One may therefore conclude that African women’s theology remains distinct from other feminist theologies. In a similar way, African-American womanist theologians have insisted that their situation is distinct from that of Euro-American women in what is described as the “triple” oppression of black women: being women, relatively poor, black and formerly enslaved. This calls for further reflection on the similarities and differences between African-American womanist theology and African women’s theology. Important differences which come to mind here are the legacy of slavery, differences in economic status, and military power. African women are often engaged in a struggle to secure a sustainable livelihood in ways that African-American women are not. More importantly, the relationship between American black theology and womanist theology deserves further attention in this regard. / South Africa

The thesis deals with design and implementation of controllers for the RMAP protocol, which is used by SpaceWire network endpoints to access memory contents of another endpoint. The theoretical research introduces concepts of the SpaceWire network, then describes the RMAP protocol and the AMBA AHB bus interface in detail. The practical part of this thesis then uses this information to design and implement controllers for the RMAP protocol. It first defines an architecture of these controllers, then describes design of individual blocks based on this architecture. As a next step, the thesis describes methods used to verify designed controllers and to test these controllers in an FPGA chip. Finally, an analysis of maximum frequency and usage of FPGA resources is done based on estimates provided by the synthesis tool.

Aufgrund der wachsenden Ressourcen heutiger FPGAs, durch neue technologische Entwicklungen, erschließen sich immer neue Einsatzmöglichkeiten.Beispielsweise wächst der Wunsch, ein vollständiges System in einem einzigen Chip einzubringen. Die sogenannten Systems-on-Chip (kurz SoC) bestehen dabei aus einem Prozessor, einen Bussystem, Schnittstellen zu externen Speichern und anderen Peripheriegeräten. Die Firma Xilinx bietet mit ihrer Software EDK eine IP-Core Bibliothek an, mit der es möglich ist, ein komplettes SoC für einen FPGA zu synthetisieren. Die Xilinx-IP-Core-Bibliothek benutzt dabei den Soft-Prozessor MicroBlaze als μP. Die IP-Core Bibliothek von Xilinx ist nicht Open-Source und zu ihrer Benutzung werden Lizenzgebühren verlangt. In dieser Arbeit wird eine neue IP-Core Bibliothek bereitgestellt, welche Open-Source ist und damit frei einsehbar und frei verwendbar ist. Die neue IP-Core Bibliothek wird durch diese Arbeit in den Workflow des Xilinx-EDK eingebunden und ist somit komfortabel benutzbar. Als Grundlage dient die IP-Core Bibliothek der Firma Gaisler Research, auch genannt Gaisler Research Library (kurz GRLIB). Die GRLIB besitzt eine Vielzahl von IP-Cores unter denen, für jeden IP-Core der Xilinx Bibliothek, ein Ersatz gefunden werden konnte. Die GRLIB setzt als μP auf den LEON3-Prozessor. Der LEON3-Prozessor wurde nach den Spezifikationen der SPARC entworfen und ist ein höchst flexibler und konfigurierbarer Soft-Prozessor. In dieser Arbeit wurde weiterhin das SnapGear-Linux evaluiert, welches auf dem LEON3- Prozessor mit Komponenten der GRLIB ausgeführt werden kann.

The implemented system is compared with other standard architectures that employ microprocessors such as Cortex-M0, OpenRISC1200, ZPU y LEON3, examining the requirements needed for each case in their FPGA implementation and the performance yielded by each of them.

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka kristologi och dess samband med en postkolonial feministisk teologi. Detta utifrån de två teologerna Mercy Amba Oduyoye och Jaquelyn Grants kristologi. Uppsatsen undersöker hur kolonialism, feminism och teologi har påverkat den kristologiska bilden. Den postkoloniala feministiska kristologin bidrar till att utmana den traditionella kristologin. Uppsatsens frågeställning lyder ”Vilka kristologiska bilder finner jag i en postkolonial feministisk teologi? Hur är relationen mellan kristologin och en postkolonial feministisk teologi? Och är den här kristologin rimlig?” Detta undersöks genom fyra analysfrågor som berör kontext, Jesus manlighet, befrielse och lidande. Den postkoloniala feministiska teologin som presenteras i uppsatsen utgår från Kwok Pui-lans bok ”Postcolonial Imagination and Feminist Theology”.
