Este trabalho aborda os aspectos musicais relacionados à construção do relógio de Julius Heckethorn, com base na sonata K 462 de Scarlatti, detalhadamente narrados no tema P, do romance Avalovara, de Osman Lins. O objetivo é o estabelecimento de relações entre esses aspectos musicais e os elementos estruturais do romance, com vistas ao desvelamento de algumas de suas regras. São relevantes e numerosas as referências musicais presentes no romance. Além das ricas narrativas de cenas sonoras, tais como o bater das ondas do mar na beira da praia, o som do vento, o barulho das patas dos cavalos, o cantar dos pássaros, há representações de manifestações musicais folclóricas e eruditas retratadas pelo Pastoril, no Recife, pela cantata Catulli Carmina, de Carl Orff, e pelo salmo In Convertendo Dominus, de André Campra. As reflexões têm como referência teórica a perspectiva de Matila Ghyka (1968) para relacionar os elementos estruturais da obra com a construção do relógio de Julius Heckethorn, e como referência musical as informações contidas em Grout e Palisca (2007). / This paper discusses the musical aspects related to the construction of Julius Heckethorn's clock, based on the Sonata K 462 by Scarlatti, narrated in detail in the subject P, of the novel Avalovara, by Osman Lins. The goal is to establish relationships between the musical aspects and the structural elements of the novel, unveiling some of its rules. The musical references present in the novel are relevant and numerous. Besides the rich narrative sound scenes, like the beating of waves on the beach, the sound of wind, the sound of horses' hoofs and the chirping of birds, there are depictions of folk and classical musical events such as the Pastoril, in Recife, the cantata Carmina Catulli by Carl Orff, and the psalm In Convertendo Dominus, by André Campra. The reflections are referenced to the theoretical perspective of Matila Ghyka (1968) to relate the structural elements of the work with the construction of Julius Heckethorn's clock, and are referenced musically to the information contained in Grout and Palisca (2007).

This Master's Thesis describes methods of software certification and development of airborne systems, focusing on software testing and verification during project's life cycle. Thesis includes also designed software verification plan for concrete application according to RTCA/DO-178B. Another part of thesis illustrates the exemplary realization of tests according to designed verification plan. At the close we describe the options of applying the designed verification plan and evaluation of its results.

The cantata A World Without War (2009), by Armenian-born composer Edward Manukyan (b. 1981), was written, in part, to support increased awareness of human rights issues. Based on a quote from linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky (b. 1928), the narrative of the cantata states: "We can, for example, be fairly confident that either there will be a world without war or there won't be a world." In addition to Chomsky's words, the cantata excerpts quotes of two additional literary giants advocating human rights, Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), and Andrei Sakharov (1921-1989). The purpose of this dissertation is to focus attention on human rights activism; using Manukyan's A World Without War, I highlight moral and ethical questions at the center of this work and explain how this cantata embraces the ideal of moral cosmopolitanism. I strongly believe in the importance of human rights for all citizens of the world, and the role music plays in advancing its cause through performance arts.

Between 1952 and 1957, Igor Stravinsky surprised the world of music by gradually incorporating serialism into his style of composition. Although Stravinsky still used the neo-classical trait of making strong references to the music of earlier periods, musical analyses of this transitional period have focused on serial aspects to the exclusion of anachronistic elements. Evidence of Stravinsky's possible use of musical structures adapted from earlier times is found in his consistent use of musical figures that are closely related to the cadences of the late Medieval and Renaissance eras. By fully addressing these neo-classical traits in future analyses, music theorists will gain an additional perspective, which is helpful in understanding the music of Stravinsky's transitional period.
