[pt] A tese aborda a relação entre os artistas Hélio Oiticica e Jack Smith em meio à efervescente atmosfera de Nova York nos 1970. Embora pouco conhecido no Brasil, Smith foi um importante personagem da cultura underground, sendo apontado como um dos precursores da arte de performance e do cinema expandido. Oiticica, durante os primeiros meses em que viveu em Nova York (1970-1978), relatou a amigos sua perplexidade ao entrar em contato com esse artista estadunidense, aproximando-se também de personagens e manifestações que faziam parte da sua esfera, como o ator Mario Montez e o Teatro do Ridículo. A partir de cartas do artista brasileiro e dos arquivos de Jack Smith, a pesquisa investiga de que maneira essa relação desenvolveu-se em termos pessoais e profissionais. No lugar de buscar pontos de semelhança e diferença, a tese procura friccionar a obra desses artistas a partir de seus buracos, faltas, gargalos e intervalos. Nesse sentido, o encontro entre eles será o ponto de partida para a discussão de questões dentro de suas próprias obras, como a relação que cada um estabeleceu com práticas arquivísticas, a ampliação do exercício de possibilidades de gênero e sexualidade, assim como de reflexões e projetos derivados de suas reivindicações contra cinemas convencionais. Além de trabalhos mais conhecidos de Oiticica, como Cosmococa - program in progress (1973-1974) e o artigo Mario Montez, tropicamp (1971), serão analisadas obras e documentos de Jack Smith, a exemplo de um roteiro inédito que o artista escreveu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1966, chamado Carnaval in Lobsterland. / [en] This dissertation concerns the relationship between artists Hélio Oiticica and Jack Smith in the bustling atmosphere of 1970 s New York. Even though Smith is little know in Brazil, he was an important artist in New York s underground culture, often pointed as one of the forerunners of performance art and expanded cinema. During his first months in New York (1970-1978), Oiticica wrote to his friends about how perplexed he was at Smith and his work, comparing him to characters and manifestations that were part of his sphere, such as actor Mario Montez and the Teatro do Ridículo. Departing from the Brazilian artist s letters and Jack Smith s files, this research investigates how their relationship has developed in personal and professional terms. Rather than looking for points of similarity or difference, this dissertation aims to put the work of these artists in friction - from their holes, absences, apertures and gaps. In this sense, their meeting will be the starting point for the discussion both of questions in their own work and of the relationship each of them has established with archival practices, the expansion of exercises on the possibilities of gender and sexuality, as well as reflections and projects derived from their claims against conventional cinema. In addition to Oiticica s best known works, such as Cosmococa - program in progress (19730-1974) and the article Mario Montez, tropicamp (1971), this thesis will analyze some of Jack Smith`s works and documents, such as an unpublished script he wrote in Rio de Janeiro in 1966, called Carnaval in Lobsterland.

The Master's Thesis focuses on pedagogical and managerial tasks of children camps' main leader. The aim is to define these tasks and to analyse the position's official formal characteristics - professional qualification and experience - for camps organized by bodies that are not leisure time educational centres. The assumption here is that mostly the head chiefs do not hold professional qualification as there is no legal obligation. The Theory uses comparative method to classify camps as leisure time educative activity. Further, the history and legal and practical conditions of the camps are described. Pedagogical and managerial tasks of the head chiefs are explained together with desirable competences. Possible ways of gaining the professional qualification are presented. In the Research part the above stated assumption was supposed to be confirmed or rejected through a questionnaire and additional guided interviews. 103 respondents of the research were head chiefs of children camps organized in 2016 in South Bohemian Region, Czech Republic. Results' analysis rejected the stated assumption. It was proved that a greater-than-expected number of the camps' head chiefs are professionally qualified. At least 50 % of the respondents have the necessary pedagogical qualification together with suitable...

Cette thèse a pour objet l'étude de l'encadrement normatif de l'internement concentrationnaire. Ce concept désigne les règles et procédures produites et appliquées par les administrations concentrationnaires et encadrant le quotidien des détenus internés dans les camps de concentration nazis. Notre étude est pragmatique. Elle se fonde principalement sur l'analyse des archives des administrations concentrationnaires : les règles et procédures concernant l'internement des détenus édictées par les administrations centrales et leur application au niveau du camp de Buchenwald principalement. Cette approche permet de démontrer que l'internement du détenu n'est pas caractérisé par l'arbitraire. Il se déroule au contraire conformément à un encadrement normatif aux caractéristiques spécifiques. Malgré des imperfections formelles dues à leur fondement spécifique sur la Volonté du Führer (Führerwille), les règles et procédures concentrationnaires encadrent l'ensemble de l'internement du détenu : les contacts avec l'extérieur, la répression disciplinaire, le travail forcé et la mort. La participation du personnel SS et civil ou des détenus au fonctionnement du camp se fait ainsi conformément à un encadrement normatif. Cela explique en partie pourquoi les différents acteurs, croyant leurs actes fondés et justifiés par cet encadrement normatif d'allure pseudo-juridique, participèrent au fonctionnement des camps. / The object of this thesis is to study the normative framework of concentration camp internment. The term ‘normative framework’ refers to the rules and procedures established and applied by the concentration camp administrations and which governed the internment of those prisoners in Nazi concentration camps. Our study is pragmatic. It is based primarily on the analysis of concentration camps’ administrative archives: the rules and procedures issued by central administrations concerning the internment of prisoners and their application, mainly at the Buchenwald camp.This approach demonstrates that the period of internment was not characteristically arbitrary. Rather, it occurred in accordance with a normative framework with specific characteristics. Despite formal imperfections due to their specific foundation in the Führer’s Will (Führerwille), concentration camp rules and procedures governed the inmate’s entire internment: contacts with the outside, punishment, forced labor and death. The participation of SS members, or employees of firms using detainee labor or even detainees themselves, was carried out in accordance with a normative framework. This explains in part why the various actors, believing their actions grounded in and justified by this pseudo-legal framework, took part in camp operations.

The Gram-negative aerobic coccobacillus Bordetella pertussis is one of the few exclusively human pathogens and the main causative agent of the respiratory infectious disease called pertussis, or whooping cough. Despite global vaccination programs, pertussis remains an important public-health burden and still accounts for over 100,000 infant deaths and over a dozen of millions of whooping cough cases every year. Substantial effort is devoted to studies on the mechanisms of action of virulence factors of B. pertussis, but the biology of interactions of B. pertussis with its human host remains largely underexplored. Evolution, genetics and adaptation of B. pertussis to the complex environment of human nasopharynx and the mechanisms enabling B. pertussis to overcome host innate and adaptive mucosal immune defenses, remain poorly understood. In such situations, unbiased exploratory omics approaches represent valuable tools for uncovering of unknown aspects of host-pathogen interactions and open the path to detailed analysis of virulence-underlying processes by mechanistic studies. In this thesis, I am presenting the results of three omics projects on B. pertussis biology that involved high-throughput proteomics. In the inital phosphoprotemics project, we analyzed the kinase signaling pathways hijacked...

The End-Triassic Extinction (ETE) has long remained one of the lesser known among the so-called “Big Five”. There exist several hypotheses regarding the probable cause of this extinction, which can mainly be divided into  events of  a decline in the rate of diversification  in the late Triassic contra a sudden and significant extinction event. Primary amongst the sudden events is the one of outgassing and climate/environmental change induced by Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) volcanism. This  study  aims to  describe  the ETE using  fluvial, lacustrine, deltaic  and  marginal-marine  microbial sedimentary  structures (MS), carbonatized microbial mats (CMM) as well as  wrinkle structures, microbially  induced  sedimentary  structures (MISS) from the latest  Triassic-  earliest  Jurassic  (TJB: Triassic-Jurassic boundary interval, Rhaetian to Hettangian) of Skåne, Southern Sweden. The MISS in these sites show a high diversity of structures, indicating microbial communities with high diversity in an environment usually dominated by bioturbating invertebrates. We observed structures that include top-surface (“Elephant skin”) and subsurface (“Kinneyia”) structures, carbon-rich fossilized microbial mats, microbial sideritic concretions, sideritized microbial mats, stromatolite-like layers and oncoids. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) sampling also revealed structures related to the presence of both coccoidal and filamentous cyanobacteria.  Overall,  the diversity in observed structures indicate a thriving microbial community, with diversified and abundant ichnofossils or body fossils of possible bioturbators only observed in the early Rhaetian and younger Mid-Late Hettangian samples of deltaic or marginal-marine affinities. The lack of metazoan communities to such an extent indicates that the local environment could have reversed to a pre-Substrate Revolution state. The occurrence of abundant and  diversified  microbial structures in the studied  TJB  section,  representing  a relatively  short time interval, reflects anachronistic facies and development of abnormal biota. This supports the occurrence of several environmental distresses (abnormal hydrochemical and physical conditions) on the Triassic-Jurassic boundary interval, in turn lending credence to the hypothesis of an abrupt climactic event such as possibly that of CAMP volcanism. / <p>Presentation was carried out online over zoom due to the at the time ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.</p> / Resurrecting a lost world in Skåne: new light on the end-Triassic mass extinction and the origin of the dinosaur dominated ecosystem / Dinosaur grave from Skåne: microbiology, taphonomy and paleomolecules of exceptionally preserved theropod remains
