Tornou-se assim, uma das cidades com o maior número dessa população no Brasil. Uma de suas características é o fato de possuir boa parte de seus nipônicos oriundos da ilha de Okinawa. O grupo oriental exerceu – e ainda exerce grande influencia na cidade, possuindo como uma de suas festas turísticas o Bon Odori, incorporado pela Prefeitura Municipal ao calendário de festividades de comemoração do aniversário da divisão do Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul. A cidade possui também como carro-chefe de sua gastronomia um prato japonês, chamado sobá, trazido á Cidade Morena pelos novos habitantes provenientes de Okinawa. O presente trabalho, portanto, pretende compreender qual a importância desses dois elementos diacríticos da cultura japonesa e Campo Grande na construção de uma identidade nipônica nessa cidade, levando ainda em consideração, o fato de que as mulheres orientais, possuem na família e na colônia papel importantíssimo, como mantenedoras das tradições e costumes. São as “peças de resistência” que transmitem aos descendentes os conhecimentos e informações sobre seu país de origem, através da socialização das crianças – filhos e netos – e através de sua intensa participação nos Clubes e Associações Japonesas em Campo Grande. / Campo Grande received from 1909 large contingent of Japanese immigrants. It is thus one of the cities with the largest number of the population in Brazil. One of his characteristics is the fact possess much of its nipponics from the island of Okinawa. The eastern group exercised - and still exerts great influence in the city, having as one of its tourist festivals the Bon Odori, built by the Municipality the timing of the festivities commemorating the anniversary of the division of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul the city has also car-head of its Japanese cuisine a dish called sobá, brought to “Cidade Morena” by the new inhabitants from Okinawa. This study, therefore, aims to understand how important these two elements characters of Japanese culture and Campo Grande in the construction of an identity nipponic this city, even taking into account the fact that women east, have in the family and in the colony role important, as maintainers traditions and customs. They are the pieces of resistance that transmit the offspring the knowledge and information about their country of origin, through the socialization of children - children and grandchildren - and through its participation in the intense Japanese Clubs and Associations in Campo Grande.

Le travail littéraire de l'auteur contemporain François Bon (né en Vendée en 1953) reçoit une attention critique grandissante, en particulier dans les universités. Il semble pourtant qu'il fasse l'objet de certains malentendus. « Réaliste », « engagée », l'écriture de Bon aurait aussi une visée « mémorielle ». À l'encontre de ces idées reçues, la présente thèse affirme la prédominance d'une esthétique de l'immédiat présent. Alors que, depuis une dizaine d'années, on redécouvre l'hétérogénéité de la temporalité moderne, caractérisée par la coprésence du passé, du présent et du futur, certaines pratiques artistiques contemporaines, dont l'art narratif de Bon est un très bon exemple, concentrent plutôt leur attention sur le seul présent. L'immédiat présent n'étant pas donné immédiatement, il y a à le construire au moyen des mots et des formes. C'est ce travail de construction qu'il s'agit ici d'interroger. Le problème tient à la discontinuité irréductible de l'immédiat présent, c'est-à-dire à l'alternance qu'il impose entre « venue » et « retrait » (Heidegger). Si l'art de la prose réside dans la fabrication du continu (Goux), comment dès lors faire récit d'un temps fondamentalement disjoint? Pour explorer cette question, on parcourra l'essentiel des écrits de Bon de Sortie d'usine (1982) aux expériences numériques les plus récentes, en analysant d'abord les usines et les garages (première partie), puis les paysages (deuxième partie), enfin les villes (troisième partie). Il s'agira chaque fois de révéler les cohérences intrinsèques (inscrites à l'intérieur des textes) et extrinsèques (les rapports qui s'établissent d'un texte à l'autre) de l'écriture du présent de Bon. Tout du long, on mesurera la portée politique de cet effort esthétique qui vise à la réappropriation de la surface temporelle du monde où se joue le plus immédiat de nos pratiques sociales contemporaines. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : François Bon, Temps, Présent, Esthétique, Récit, Contemporain.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare corneal thickness measured both centrally and midperipherally, between two instruments using different measuring principles. The study also looked at correlation between corneal thickness and intraocular pressure (IOP). Methods: Central and midperipheral corneal thickness was measured on the right eyes of 31 subjects with two different instruments. Instruments were Scheimpflug-camera from Bon Sirius and an AS/OCT from Optos. Measurements were taken on central cornea (CCT) and midperipheral (nasal (NCT), temporal (TCT), superior (SCT) and inferior (ICT)) at a distance of 1.75 mm from the apex. Mean age of the subjects was 23.6 ± 4.5 years. (19-44 years). A CT-80A non-contact tonometer (NonCT) from Topcon was used to measure the intraocular pressure (IOP). Results: A mean-value for central corneal thickness was calculated to 542.4 µm and 540.4 µm for Bon Sirius and AS/OCT repectively. Remaining measured points had mean-values for corneal thickness of, NCT: 577.7 µm &amp; 558.5 µm. TCT: 555.0 µm &amp; 545.2 µm. SCT: 585.7 µm &amp; 554.5 µm. ICT: 563.0 µm &amp; 548.9 µm, respectively. Mean-difference for CCT was 2.4 µm and it showed a significant difference between the two instruments with a p-value of 0.007. Remaining measured points all showed a significant difference of p&lt;0.05. NCT: 19.2 µm. TCT: 9.8 µm. SCT: 31 µm. ICT: 14 µm. A correlation between IOP and CCT measured in both Sirius and AS/OCT was positive with r = 0.7 and p&lt;0.05. Conclusion: The results showed that Sirius gives higher values for corneal thickness then ASOCT in all five measurement points. The results show that these instruments can be used interchangeably when measuring central corneal thickness. However, caution should be used when measuring midperipheral corneal thickness as the there is a significant differences between these two instruments.

The thesis explores the connections between nineteenth century imperial anthropology, racial ‘science’, and the imposition of colonising governance on the Aborigines of Port Phillip/Victoria between 1835 and 1888. It explores the way that particular, albeit contested, images of Aborigines ‘became legislative’. It surveys the declining influence of liberal and Evangelical ‘philanthropy’ at the end of the 1830s, the pragmatic moral slippages that transformed humanitarian gestures into colonial terror, and the part played by the Australians in the emergence of the concept of race as the chief vector of colonial power.

Purpose: Understanding how pupil size changes under different light conditions is important for refractive surgery, in contact lens fitting, as well as in the development of multifocal contact lenses. It is therefore of great value to have good measurement results and trustworthy methods. The accuracy and repeatability of the instruments used for these measurements are also critical.The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there was a potential relationship between the pupil diameter and the eye's refractive error with the use of the pupilometer incorporated within Sirius. A secondary purpose arose during the study, to evaluate the repeatability of the instrument Sirius. The null hypothesis of this study was; that pupil diameter is greater in myopes than hyperopes and emmetropes - that one would see a decrease in pupil diameter from myopes to emmetropes and also a decrease in pupil diameter from emmetropes to hyperopes. Method: There were 64 participants who took part in this study, aged between 20 to 36 years. Of these, three were excluded because they did not fit the inclusion criteria. The participants were divided into three different groups according to their spherical equivalent refractive errors: there were 26 myopes (range -7.75 D to -0.75 D), 17 emmetropes (range -0.50 D to +0.50 D), and 18 hyperopes (range + 0.75 D to + 5.75 D). Both eyes was measured. Pupil diameter was first measured in Sirius in a darkened room, where the computer was the only light source and the screen's brightness was dimmed. An objective refraction was done with the use of an autorefractor to get an estimated refractive value. Thereafter, retinoscopy was performed in a trial frame with a retinoscopy rack or loose trial lenses. The participants with higher astigmatism were also controlled with the use of the Jackson cross-cylinder. The pupil response was checked in all participants following pupil diameter measurements, to ensure that both eyes did not exhibit pupil defects. The result was analyzed with Excel and GraphPad Prism. Results: Since this study did not find any difference between the right and left eye, the data analysis was performed for right eye only. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of spherical equivalent power for myopes was -2.75 ±1.95 D, emmetropes -0.06 ±0.37 D and hyperopes +1.51 ±1.37 D. This study showed a weak trend between refractive error and pupil diameter, but no significant correlation between pupil diameter and the refractive state of the eye was evident, irrespective of lighting conditions; scotopic (p = 0.38), mesopic (p = 0.17) or photopic (p = 0.16). As expected, a clear decrease in pupil diameter with increased illumination intensity was found. A variance analysis (one-way, repeated measures ANOVA) was performed on the three different measurement in each illumination level, to confirm the repeatability of Sirius. The ICC values were 0.94 for scotopic, 0.87 for mesopic and 0.95 for photopic lighting conditions. Conclusuion: The study shows no significant correlation between pupil diameter and the refractive state of the eye over the range of -7.75 D to + 5.75 D. In this study, we also investigated the repeatability of the measurements values obtained with Sirius using the ICC; this showed that Sirius has a good repeatability in measuring pupil diameter in all three light levels.

A partir du XIXe siècle, la fondation du Bon Pasteur est créée par Mère Marie-Euphrasie. La mission spécifique decet ordre est de s'occuper de la population dans la misère et tout particulièrement des femmes et des enfants, afin desoulager leur détresse, de leur apporter du soutien et de les encourager à se réinsérer dans la société. Au Royaume-Uni les institutions du Bon Pasteur prennent le nom de couvents Madeleine, se référant ainsi à la figure biblique de Marie-Madeleine pécheresse repentie qui devient une fidèle du Christ. La vocation de ces établissements Madeleine est d'accueillir les prostituées et les mères célibataires. Ils se spécialisent rapidement dans le travail de blanchisserie, tâche éminemment symbolique car ces femmes doivent avant tout se laver de leurs péchés. Sous le règne de Victoria la morale puritaine se durcit, la figure de Madeleine incarne désormais «la catin», la femme de «mauvaise vie». Trois décrets sont alors promulgués afin de freiner l'extension de la prostitution et des maladies sexuellement transmissibles. Ce n'est que dans les années 1990 que des voix s'élèvent pour dénoncer les abus et les maltraitances commis dans certaines de ces institutions, voix bientôt relayées et amplifiées par plusieurs œuvres cinématographiques, en particulier par le film de Peter Mullan The Magdalena Sisters. Ce travail vise à comprendre pourquoi de tels faits se sont produits, à étudier le rôle des médias dans le processus de dénonciation et dans quelle mesure nous pouvons considérer qu'ils contribuent à faire l'Histoire. / The Foundation of the Good Shepherd was set up by Mother Marie-Euphrasie in the XIX!h century. The specificmission of the order was to take care of the poor, and particularly of women and children, to ease their distress, givethem support and encourage them to make their way back into society. ln the UK, the Good Shepherd institutes were known as Magdalen Asylums, for the biblical figure of Mary Magdalene, a repentant sinner who became a disciple of Christ; the vocation of these Magdalen institutions was to shelter prostitutes and single mothers. They quickly came to specialise in laundry work- a symbolic task, as these women had above all to wash away their sins. During the reign of Queen Victoria, puritanism became more severe, and the figure of Mary Magdalena came to embody the "whore", the "fallen" woman. Three Acts of Parliament were passed to curb the expansion of prostitution and venereal diseases. Il was only in the late 1990s that voices were raised to denounce the abuse and ill-treatment committed in some of these institutions, voices that were soon picked up and amplified in a number of films, and in particular Peter Mullan's The Magdalena Sisters. The aim of this study is to understand why such things happened, and to study the role played by the media in the process of their exposure and to what extent they can be said to make History.

1 Abstract The thesis deals primarily with the Tibetan text of The Genealogy of Ya-ngal Family of Dolpo, which is an important document concerning the history of Western Tibet. The text itself has never been fully translated and there are also different manuscript versions of it, which contain partially different reading. The various manuscript versions have been compared and the critical edition of the text has been established. This formed the basis for translation of the entire text into English. This core of the dissertation is preceded by necessary background information on the region of Dolpo, its history and a significance of the role the Ya-ngal family played in it. Second chapter contains the translation of the Genealogy with detailed comments in the footnotes. The entire text has been divided into chapters, whose titles are given in the square brackets indicating thus that they are missing in the original text. The third chapter focuses mainly on the specific abbreviations of written words used across the entire text of the Genealogy, since there is hardly any literature in western languages dealing with this topic. This part is introduced by brief linguistic description of the Dolpo dialect of Tibetan. It is followed by general introduction of the abbreviating styles in Tibetan scriptures. The...
