Cette recherche vise dans un premier temps situ?es dans d'autres dialogues de Platon la survenance du terme anamn?sis ? veifique les points qui relient ces oeuvres ? clarifier la compr?hension d'un plus appropri? dans le M?non. Jetez-y aussi, quels sont les ?l?ments de la platonicienne th?orie de la connaissance sera reliant le dialogue afin de prouver que le M?non, qui est la question centrale aret?, garde un conflit dans la sophistique et la philosophie. Ce choc entre ce qui se passe papapep indirectement par l'interm?diaire de son M?non enseign?, et Socrates qui conteste la th?se de l'?thique et le relativisme ?pist?mologique. Nous voyons aussi, de quelle mani?re le dialogue est donn?e de prendre une voie d'acc?s au savoir qui est configur? comme s?rs, ? savoir an?mn?sis. L'interrogatoire de M?non depuis le d?but dans les appels d'enqu?ter ?ristique cet int?r?t, que lorsqu'ils sont confront?s ? des int?r?ts les am?nerait ? l'?tat apor?tique initial et qui est progressivement remplac? par l'aporie fondamental de connaissance, ce n'est point pour aporie la compr?hension de an?mnesis. En prenant la dialectique comme m?thode d'enqu?te dans le dialogue, il est n?cessaire de la part de Socrates et M?non, de quitter le didaskein et en profiter pour math?sis que la construction des connaissances. Il ouvre de mani?re un des principaux enjeux dans ce travail examine si le an?mnesis permettre l'acc?s aux moyens et si elle a un statut similaire ? mn?me. ? un moment o? Socrate explique dans le dialogue qui est le an?mnesis par monstration monstration fait avec esclave de M?non il est l'utilisation d'?l?ments mythiques que, selon notre analyse, permettre ? comprendre le sens de dialogue les connaissances qui montre l'opportunit? d'apprendre, qui est la an?mnesis / Esta disserta??o tem como principal objetivo analisar de que modo no M?non, Plat?o relaciona a an?mnesis a outras no??es que neste di?logo s?o discutidas e, deste modo, tentar compreender o que ela ? . Esta investiga??o visa inicialmente situar em outros di?logos plat?nicos a ocorr?ncia do termo an?mnesis para que verifique-se os aspectos que interligam estas obras a fim de precisar a compreens?o do sentido mais adequado no M?non. Verificar-se-? tamb?m, quais elementos da teoria do conhecimento plat?nica v?o se interligando no di?logo de modo a revelar que o M?non, que tem como quest?o central a aret?, resguarda um conflito entre a sof?stica e a filosofia. Tal embate acontece indiretamente entre G?rgias atrav?s do seu ensinado M?non, e S?crates que nega as teses do relativismo ?tico e epistemol?gico. Observamos tamb?m, de que forma se d? a assun??o de uma via de acesso ao conhecimento que se configura como mais segura, a saber, a an?mnesis. O questionamento de M?non desde o in?cio do di?logo nos instiga a inquirir esse interesse er?stico, que ao ser confrontado com os interesses socr?ticos levaria-os ao estado apor?tico inicial e que paulatinamente ? substitu?do pela aporia fundamental do conhecimento, esta aporia ? ponto de partida para a compreens?o da an?mnesis. Ao assumir-se a dial?tica como m?todo investigativo surge a necessidade por parte de S?crates e de M?non, de abandonar o didaskein e assumir a math?sis como possibilidade de constru??o do conhecimento. Abre-se assim uma das quest?es principais que este trabalho analisa, ? se a an?mnesis ? possibilidade acesso ?s Formas e se a mesma possui um estatuto similar a mn?me. No momento em que S?crates explicita no di?logo o que ? a an?mnesis, atrav?s da mostra??o feita com o escravo de M?non, h? a utiliza??o filos?fica de elementos m?ticos que, segundo nossa an?lise, permitem a compreens?o efetiva do sentido da constru??o dialogada do conhecimento que exterioriza o que se deseja aprender, ou seja: o que ? a an?mnesis

A Praia de Ponta Negra, localizada ao Sul da cidade de Natal/RN, ilustra bem o processo praticado pelo homem de ocupa??o das terras por meio da explora??o de recursos naturais, muitas vezes causando altera??es na paisagem mediante o desmatamento, a pr?tica de cortes e aterros para urbaniza??o, especula??o do pre?o da terra e da instala??o de numerosas atividades econ?micas ao longo da praia. A din?mica da ocupa??o de Ponta Negra causou condi??es favor?veis ao crescente processo erosivo que gerou danos f?sicos ao cal?ad?o desta praia. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo construir uma an?lise integrada da zona costeira da praia de Ponta Negra em Natal/RN. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo ? composto por dois artigos distintos, em que o primeiro se dedica a identificar as modifica??es morfol?gicas da praia de Ponta Negra, no per?odo de 1969 a 2016. Os valores de volume sedimentar do perfil morfol?gico utilizados foram coletados in loco no per?odo de 12 meses (2012/2013). Na identifica??o das fei??es pret?ritas foram consideradas fotografias a?reas obtidas pelo Servi?o A?reo Cruzeiro do Sul, em 1969 e imagens recentes do Google Earth Pro. No processamento das imagens empregou-se t?cnicas de processamento digital de imagens e Sistemas de Informa??es Geogr?fica (SIG). O segundo artigo busca tra?ar um perfil sobre a ocupa??o humana e eventos costeiros na praia de Ponta Negra, tomando como base as not?cias veiculadas no acervo jornal?stico da Tribuna do Norte, no per?odo de 1950 a 2016. Considera-se que o acervo de um jornal pode ser uma fonte informacional que retrata, ainda que parcialmente, um panorama dos importantes eventos ocorridos ao longo do tempo. Isto numa regi?o de uma cidade onde informa??es s?o, muitas vezes, inexistentes. Na constru??o do perfil utilizou-se a t?cnica da an?lise de conte?do, classificando em cinco grandes categorias a an?lise costeira integrada: ocupa??o humana, eventos meteorol?gicos, usos, pol?ticas p?blicas e press?es socioecon?micas. Tamb?m realizou-se a an?lise de correspond?ncia com intuito de associar os anos considerados no estudo das categorias de classifica??o. Adicionalmente, as not?cias classificadas como ?eventos meteorol?gicos? noticiados pelo Jornal foram relacionados qualitativamente ao acumulado de precipita??o conforme os registros da Esta??o Meteorol?gica do Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia, localizada na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. O resultado do monitoramento da eros?o no perfil praial e a precipita??o mensal acumulada traz uma correla??o negativa. Quanto aos principais resultados do primeiro artigo, ressalta-se que o processo de avalia??o das fei??es costeiras resultou que em 1969 a mancha urbana representava 16,4% da ?rea de e mais de 60% em 2016. Esse dado corrobora com a hip?tese de que a destrui??o das fei??es de prote??o do ambiente potencializou o processo erosivo. As demais classes apresentaram diminui??o de ?rea, ao contr?rio da mancha urbana. Na classe vegeta??o ocorre diminui??o de 37,2% para 13,6% de cobertura vegetal e esse quadro seria respons?vel pela n?o fixa??o de sedimentos inconsolidados. Os resultados do segundo artigo demonstraram que durante todo o per?odo analisado, houve um aumento no n?mero de not?cias veiculados pelo Jornal. Esse acr?scimo de not?cias sobre a Praia de Ponta Negra ?, inicialmente, notado a partir dos anos 70, momento a partir do qual a praia em tela passa a despontar no notici?rio da m?dia impressa. Percebe-se tamb?m diferen?as nos temas das publica??es ao se compara o primeiro momento do estudo (Anos 50 e 60) e o final do estudo (Anos 2000). no primeiro momento o foco da m?dia era primordialmente quanto ao ?uso e forma de ocupa??o?. Nos anos mais recentes (Anos 2000) o foco passou a evidenciar os ?eventos meteorol?gicos?. Essa mudan?a de foco deve, possivelmente, ter rela??o com o crescimento das discuss?es em torno da mudan?as clim?ticas no mundo, que, com o passar dos anos, tem influenciado fortemente o conte?do jornal?stico. Finalmente, ainda verificou-se eventos erosivos que vieram a destruir partes extensas do cal?ad?o da praia de Ponta Negra. / Man has always sought to install his infrastructure of occupation, defense and survival near the Coastal Zones. Ponta Negra Beach, located in the south of the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, illustrates well the process practiced by the man of land occupation, through the exploitation of natural resources, often causing changes in the landscape with deforestation, the practice of cuts and landfills for urbanization, speculation of the price of land and the installation of numerous economic activities along the beach. The dynamics of the occupation of Ponta Negra caused favorable conditions to the growing erosive process that generated physical damages to the boardwalk of this beach. This research aims to build an integrated analysis of the coastal zone of the beach of Ponta Negra, Natal. In this sense, the present study is composed of two distinct articles, in which the first one is dedicated to identify the morphological changes of the beach of Ponta Negra from 1969 to 2016. The values of sedimentary volume of the morphological profile used were collected locally in the period of 12 months (2012/2013). In the identification of the previous features were considered aerial photographs by the Cruzeiro do Sul Air Service in 1969. In addition, the most recent features were exported from the software Google Earth PRO. We used the technique of remote sensing, digital image processing in Geographic Information System (GIS). The second article seeks to draw a profile on human occupation and coastal events on the beach of Ponta Negra, based on the reports published in the journalistic collection of the Tribuna do Norte from 1950 to 2016. It is considered that the collection from the journal can be an informational source that portray, albeit partially, an overview of the important events that have occurred over time in a region of a city where information is often non-existent. Furthermore, to construct this profile, the content analysis technique was used to classify five categories of integrated coastal analysis: human occupation, meteorological events, uses, public policies and socioeconomic pressures. The correspondence analysis was also performed in order to associate the categories considered in the study. Additionally, the news classified as "meteorological events" reported by the Journal were qualitatively related to the rainfall accumulation observed according to the Meteorological Station records of the National Meteorological Institute located at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. The result of erosion monitoring in the beach profile and the accumulated monthly rainfall has a negative correlation. As for the main results of the first article, it is pointed out that the process of evaluation of the coastal features showedthat in 1969 the urban spot represented 16.4% of the total space cut and in 2016 more than 60%. This asserts the hypothesis that the destruction of environmental protection features has potentiated the erosive process. The other classes showed a decrease of area as opposed to the urban spot. In the vegetation class, there is a decrease from 37.2% to 13.6% and this composition is responsible for the fixation of the unconsolidated sediments. The results of the second article showed that throughout the analyzed period, there was an increase in the number of news stories published by the Journal. This increase in news about Ponta Negra Beach is initially noticed from the 70s, when the beach is always included in the media considered in the study. Differences in the subject of publications are also seen when comparing the first moment of the study (Years 50 and 60) and the end of the study (Years 2000). The initial focus of the media was primarily on "use and form of occupation". In contrast, the focus of the news in the most recent years (Years 2000) have come to highlight the so-called "meteorological events". This change in the focus of the news is possibly related to the increasing importance of discussion on climate change in the world and that over the years has strongly influenced journalistic content.Finally, in addition, there have been erosive events that have destroyed vast parts of the boardwalk from the beach of Ponta Negra.

A formulation based on the first and second laws of thermodynamic and the Helmholtz free-energy is presented in this work to consider the thermic effects on this type of structure. The Finite Element Method based on nodal positions, rather than nodal displacements, is used as structural analysis tool. The solution of the nonlinear dynamic problem is given through the combination of Newton-Raphson iterative process with several explicit and implicit time integration methods, wherein the numerical results are compared with the ones found on specialized literature. As well, it is presented a description of one technique to solution of impact problems.

A pol?tica de tratamento de exce??es corresponde ao conjunto de regras de design do tratamento excepcional e definem os elementos de c?digo (m?todos, classes ou pacotes) respons?veis pela sinaliza??o, propaga??o, captura das exce??es e as respectivas a??es de tratamento. Alguns estudos emp?ricos demonstraram que o tratamento inadequado de exce??es, consequ?ncia da falta da pol?tica documentada, ? uma poss?vel fonte de defeitos. Por outro lado, devido ? natureza impl?cita dos fluxos de exce??es, a identifica??o e corre??o dos tratamentos de exce??es tornam-se tarefas complexas. Para amenizar os problemas decorrentes do tratamento inadequado devido ? falta de documenta??o do tratamento de exce??es, algumas abordagens definiram linguagens de especifica??o das regras de tratamento com suporte ferramental para auxiliar na defini??o e checagem das regras. Entretanto, historicamente, as pol?ticas de tratamento de exce??es dos sistemas s?o postergadas ou ignoradas no processo de desenvolvimento. Adicionalmente, nenhuma das abordagens propostas oferece suporte ? defini??o das regras, de forma a auxiliar o arquiteto a extrair as regras a partir da an?lise de c?digo fonte pr?-existente, e este ? o objetivo da abordagem apresentada neste trabalho. Para apoiar a execu??o da abordagem proposta, foi desenvolvida uma ferramenta de an?lise est?tica que permite: (i) a coleta dos fluxos excepcionas e das respectivas a??es de tratamentos; (ii) a identifica??o e defini??o dos agrupamentos, que s?o os elementos de c?digo que possuem os mesmos comportamentos em rela??o ao tratamento de exce??es; (iii) a extra??o das regras; e, (iv) a checagem das regras e identifica??o das causas das viola??es ? pol?tica. A abordagem ? demonstrada em dois estudos emp?ricos. No primeiro estudo emp?rico foram analisadas 656 bibliotecas (libs) Java do reposit?rio central Maven com objetivo de extrair e caracterizar a pol?tica de tratamento de exce??es destas libs. Este estudo revelou que 80,9% das bibliotecas possuem fluxos excepcionais que implementam pelo menos um anti-pattern do tratamento excepcional. O segundo estudo emp?rico teve como objetivo investigar os benef?cios da extra??o das regras excepcionais a partir do c?digo pr?-existente no processo de defini??o e checagem da pol?tica de tratamento de exce??es. Dois sistemas de informa??o Web (i.e., IProject e SIGAA) foram utilizados neste segundo estudo. Neste estudo pudemos observar que todas as regras reportadas pelos arquitetos foram extra?das pelo suporte ferramental, e que os resultados do processo de extra??o permitiram que novas regras fossem adicionadas pelos arquitetos. Essas regras adicionadas foram as regras n?o definidas pelos arquitetos e corresponderam ? 57,1% (IProject) e 52,8% (SIGAA/Gradua??o) das regras da pol?tica dos sistemas analisados. O processo de checagem das regras definidas com o apoio da abordagem mostrou que 35,6% e 45,7% dos fluxos excepcionais do IProject e SIGAA/Gradua??o, respectivamente, violavam alguma das regras de tratamento de exce??es. / The Exception handling (EH) mechanism is a technique embedded in most of the mainstream programming languages to support the development of robust systems. The exception handling policy is composed by the set of exception handling design rules and which specify the elements (methods, classes and packages) or that contains the elements responsible for raising, propagating and catching of exceptions as well as the handling actions. Empirical studies have demonstrated that an inappropriate exception handling as consequence of undocumented exception handling policy is a source of bug hazards. On the other hand, due to the implicit nature of exception flows, the identification of exception handling code is a complex task. To address the problems resulting from the not-understood or inadequate exception handling, some approaches have been proposed languages to specify exception handling rules as well as a set of support tool to verify the constraints and checking the rules. However, historically, the exception handling policies are postponed or ignored in the software process development. Additionally, none of the proposed approaches provide support to the phase of exception policy definition. This work proposes an approach that helps the architect to extract the EH rules by performing an analysis on the existing code. Doing so, this approach fills the previous gap the EH policy definition. To support the proposed approach, a static tool suite was developed, which performs: (i) the discovery of exception flows and its handling actions; (ii) the definition of compartments; (iii) the semi-automatic rule extraction process; and (iv) the rule checking and identification of rule violation causes. This approach was assessed in two empirical studies. In the first study, 656 libraries from Maven central repository were analyzed. The main goal of this study was to reveal and to characterize the exception handling policy of the analyzed libraries. This study revealed that 80.9% of the analyzed libraries have exception flows that implement at least one exception handling anti-pattern. In the second study, we investigated the benefits of rule extraction process in the definition and checking of exception handling rules. Two web information systems (i.e., IProject and SIGAA) were analyzed in this second study. We found that all set of rules reported by the architects were extracted by our tool and the result of extraction process allowed that new rules were added to the policy. These added rules were not defined by architects and they corresponded to 57.1% (IProject) and 52.8% (SIGAA/Gradua??o) of the rules of analyzed systems. The checking process of defined rules supported by our approach verified that 35.6% (IProject) and 45.7% (SIGAA/Gradua??o) of exception flows violated some defined rule.

Dora Ferreira da Silva, ganhadora de prêmios significativos no universo das letras, possui uma forma peculiar e única no seu estilo. Através de seus versos mergulha-se em um dado momento no mundo profano e em outro no sagrado. Conhecida por sua poesia intimista, de reverberações metafísicas, de influências do intimismo de Rainer Maria Rilke e pelas ideias junquianas de arquétipo, inconsciente e símbolo, Dora tece seus poemas com muita sutileza e ressalta a beleza primordial e elementar em uma linguagem impecável. Seu lirismo é permeado das imagens e símbolos universais dos mitos, os quais fazem parte do cotidiano e da religiosidade, ao mesmo tempo em que evocam imagens no inconsciente coletivo, despertando para a ancestralidade do homem. Contudo, Dora Ferreira da Silva consegue tratar desses temas em um estilo que aparentemente é contrário à subjetividade lírica de sua poesia, o Concretismo. Sob este aspecto, a proposta desta Dissertação de Mestrado consiste em analisar a poesia de Dora, tendo como foco dois blocos de poemas: “Lunimago” e “Elementária”, presentes em seu primeiro livro de poemas, An-danças, publicado em 1970. Neste conjunto de poemas é analisada e evidenciada a experimentação realizada pela poeta, nos caminhos propostos pela Poesia Concreta, dentro do contexto do Modernismo Brasileiro. São utilizados os fundamentos do aporte teórico da mito crítica, bem como os pressupostos teóricos de críticos e estudiosos da poesia e do Concretismo. É ressaltado, nesta fase do trabalho da poeta, seu estilo no uso das imagens míticas, aliadas às formas verbais, sonoras e visuais, características próprias do concretismo, e destacada esta vertente em seu fazer poético, que representa o tema central desta dissertação e chama a atenção porque ainda é desconhecida e raramente mencionada. / Abstract: Dora Ferreira da Silva, winner of several significant awards in the literary world, has a unique and peculiar style. Through her verses, one can immerse himself in both sacred and profane worlds. Known for her intimate poetry of metaphysical reverberations, influenced by the inwardness of Rainer Maria Rilke and Jung’s ideas of archetype, unconscious and symbol, Dora writes her poems with such subtlety and emphasis on the primordial, elementary beauty with impeccable language. Her lyricism is permeated by the images and universal symbolisms of myths, which are part of daily life and religiosity, while it evokes images in the collective unconscious, awakening to the ancestry of man. However, Dora Ferreira da Silva manages to deal with these themes in a style which is apparently opposite to the lyric subjectivity of her poetry – Concretism. In this aspect, the proposal of this Master’s dissertation consists in analyzing Dora's poetry focusing on two corpura – “Lunimago” and “Elementária” –, both from her first opus, An-danças, which was published in 1970. In this set of poems, the experimentation carried out by the poet in the paths proposed by the Concrete Poetry is analyzed and evidenced, within the context of Brazilian Modernism. The fundamentals of the theoretical contribution of myth criticism, as well as the theoretical assumptions of critics and scholars of poetry and concretism are used. At this stage in the poet’s work her style is emphasized in the use of mythical images allied to verbal, sonorous and visual forms, characteristic of concretism, which represents the central theme of this dissertation and draws attention to it since it is still unknown and rarely mentioned. / Dissertação (Mestrado)

Este trabalho se propõe a analisar alguns dos aspectos da obra tardia do compositor veneziano Luigi Nono (1924-1990), a partir da leitura de três obras: Fragmente-Stille, an Diotima para quarteto de cordas, Das atmende Klarsein para flauta baixo, coro e processamento em tempo real, e Omaggio a György Kurtág para contralto, flauta, clarinete baixo e processamento em tempo real. As três diferentes análises têm como foco três importantes princípios da poética tardia de Luigi Nono: as idéias de fragmentação, de limite e de suspensão. / This research studies some aspects of Luigi Nonos (1924-1990) late work.

This is a qualitative study focusing on support of English as an Additional Language provided to students in an international school in Bangkok. The study aims to answer the following questions through literature and responses from interviewees: To what extent does EAL benefit second language learners’ development of language acquisition? and How is the EAL learners’ language proficiency monitored? The study was conducted at the international school The Early Learning Centre in Bangkok, including interviews with five EAL students with Swedish as their L1, and one EAL teacher, and questionnaires sent to three parents. The theoretical starting point describes the aspects that are of concern in this study: language acquisition, second language acquisition, English as an additional language in general and at The Early Learning Centre, and English as an additional language continuum. The data indicates that EAL programs that deliver both mainstream and withdrawal support is the accurate way to connect it to the curriculum. The results showed that EAL support provides students with sufficient help in acquiring academic and social language skills. ELC uses withdrawal support to improve language skills in smaller groups where the focus lies in learning language and transfer knowledge between L1 and L2. The study also indicates that to monitor language proficiency, assessments are important to monitor skills and development.
