The thesis is proven by the educational practices which are transmitted by the older to the younger generations; these are responsible for the tradition of the pilgrimage of the Carriers (Carreiros) of Mossâmedes. The educational practices are not merely realized in the sphere of religion, but also through the other activities exercised on a daily basis by the group, such as: agricultural work in the fields, taking care of animals, domestic chores, principally the preparation of food, the help that members of the community give to each other to realize a specific enterprise, etc. However, these practices sustain the religious aspect which is preponderant in the tradition of the pilgrimage of the Carriers (Carreiros) of Mossâmedes. They are educational and religious practices exercised day after day as a life experience, transmitted in the social cultural relations, filtered and established as custom which, in their temporal duration are transformed into a educational, religious and cultural tradition. The fundamental set of problems that this thesis will attempt to resolve is: what educational processes are used to perpetuate the pilgrimage of the Carriers (Carreiros) of Mossâmedes, how are the devotion, the tradition and the rituals of the pilgrimage to the shrine of the Divine Eternal Father are transmitted to succeeding generations, who are the subjects and the institutions that contribute to maintain the devotion and who benefits from it. The object of this research paper is to explain how the educational practices are important for the perpetuation of the pilgrimage of the Carriers (Carreiros) of Mossâmedes, how they came into being historically, how they contribute for the preservation of the pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of the Divine Eternal Father in Trindade and why people would travel long distances to obtain a symbolic content of the sacred. In order to understand the educational practices that delineate the group of the Carriers (Carreiros) of Mossâmedes the methodology of oral history has been used by way of interviews, observation and ethnographic photography. This ethnographic study resulted in the understanding of the constitution of this group which, by means of culture, education, memory and tradition of the pilgrimage has maintained for more than half a century the religious tradition of the devotion to the Divine Eternal Father in the city of Trindade, Goiás. A distinct presence of the sacred can be found in the symbols, the daily cultural and religious practices of the differentiated universe of the Carriers of Mossâmedes. It is this tradition that maintains harmony in the cart drivers lives. Their security is in their faith in the sacred. Through their faith the daily practices of these men and women are transformed into means of arriving at an objective: the search for the religious and social integration of the group. / Esta tese teve como propósito a investigação das práticas educativas dos Carreiros no município de Mossâmedes, Goiás, para perpetuar a tradição da romaria em devoção ao Divino Pai Eterno na cidade de Trindade, Goiás.

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka betydelsen av relationen tränare har till sina spelare och huruvida detta påverkar motivationen och motivationsklimatet. Frågeställningar: -       Finns det ett samband mellan upplevd relation till tränare och motivationen? -       Finns det ett samband mellan upplevd relation till tränare och upplevt motivationsklimat? -       Finns det skillnader i motivationsnivå och motivationsklimat beroende på spelarnas kön, ålder, samt tränarnas erfarenhet eller tränarnas utbildningsnivå? Metod: Urvalet bestod av åtta fotbollslag i Stockholmsområdet med totalt 102 fotbollsspelare i åldrarna 12–14 (12 år = 44, 13 år = 45, 14 år = 13) samt åtta tränare, en för varje lag som deltog. För att mäta relationen mellan tränare och spelare användes Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire, för motivationen användes Sports Motivation Scale och slutligen för upplevt motivationsklimat Perceived Motivational Climate Scale. Korrelationsanalyser genomfördes med hjälp av bivariat analys i SPSS. För att se skillnader jämförde vi medelvärden med hjälp av T-test samt MANOVA-test för skillnader mellan flera grupper. Resultat: Det fanns statistiskt signifikanta samband mellan upplevd relation till sin tränare och motivation, mellan upplevd relation till sin tränare och upplevt motivationsklimat. Spelare som hade tränare med eftergymnasial utbildning upplevde högre motivation. Ju mer erfaren tränare desto mindre engagemang upplevde spelare från sin tränare och motivationsklimatet upplevdes då också som mer resultatinriktat. Slutsats: Studien visade att genom en god relation till sina spelare skapar tränare goda förutsättningar för att främja inre motivation hos fotbollsspelare. Vilket motivationsklimat som tränare skapar speglar spelares syn på sig själva och kan båda öka eller sänka den motivation som spelare upplever. Genom att arbeta uppgiftsorienterat ökar chansen att spelare känner sig mer motiverade. Även andra faktorer kan påverka resultaten såsom lagets prestationer och sammansättningen av spelare, därför behövs studier där förändringen av beteende hos tränare undersöks för att se om samma resultat uppstår. Tränare bör jobba uppgiftsorienterat för att främja den inre motivationen hos spelare och minimera risker för avhopp samt jobba individanpassat för att bibehålla en god relation med spelare. / <p>Ämneslärarprogram, Specialidrott</p>

HIV antiretroviral therapy spans several different drug classes, meant to combat various aspects of viral infection and replication. Many authors have argued the benefits of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for the HIV patient including compliance assurance and assessment of appropriate drug concentrations; however, the array of drug chemistries and combinations makes TDM an arduous task. HPLC-UV and LC-MS/MS are both frequent instruments for the quantification of HIV drugs in biological matrices with investigators striving to balance sensitivity and affordability. Plasma, the dominant matrix for these analyses, is prepared using protein precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction or solid-phase extraction depending on the specific complement of analytes. Despite the range of polarities found in drug classes relevant to HIV therapeutics, most chromatographic separations utilize a hydrophobic column (C18 ). Additionally, as the clinically relevant samples for these assays are infected with HIV, along with possible co-infections, another important aspect of sample preparation concerns viral inactivation. Although not routine in clinical practice, many published analytical methods from the previous two decades have demonstrated the ability to conduct TDM in HIV patients receiving various medicinal combinations. This review summarizes the analytical methods relevant to TDM of HIV drugs, while highlighting respective challenges.

Video image detection system (VDS) equipment provides real-time traffic data for monitored highways directly to the traffic management center (TMC) of the Georgia Department of Transportation. However, at any given time, approximately 30 to 35% of the 1,600 camera stations (STNs) fail to work properly. The main reasons for malfunctions in the VDS system include long term road construction activity and operational limitations. Thus, providing alternative data sources for offline VDS stations and developing tools that can help detect problems with VDS stations can facilitate the successful operation of the TMC. To estimate the travel speed of non-working STNs, this research examined global positioning system (GPS) data from vehicles using the ATMS-monitored freeway system as a potential alternative measure to VDS. The goal of this study is to compare VDS speed data for the estimation of the travel speed on freeways with GPS-equipped vehicle trip data, and to assess the differences between these measurements as a potential function of traffic and roadway conditions, environmental, conditions, and driver/vehicle characteristics. The difference between GPS and VDS speeds is affected by various factors such as congestion level (expressed as level of service), onroad truck percentage, facility design (number of lanes and freeway sub-type), posted speed limit, weather, daylight, and time of day. The relationship between monitored speed difference and congestion level was particularly large and was observed to interact with most other factors. Classification and regression tree (CART) analysis results indicated that driver age was the most relevant variable in explaining variation for the southbound of freeway dataset and freeway sub-type, speed limit, driver age, and number of lane were the most influential variables for the northbound of freeway dataset. The combination of several variables had significant contribution in the reduction of the deviation for both the northbound and the southbound dataset. Although this study identifies potential relationships between speed difference and various factors, the results of the CART analysis should be considered with the driver sample size to yield statistically significant results. Expanded sampling with larger number of drivers would enrich this study results.

Despite predictions of Internet shopping reaching 6.9 trillion dollars by the end of 2004, research is now suggesting many online consumers are still very reluctant to complete the online shopping process. A number of authors have attributed consumers' reluctance to purchase online to apparent barriers, however, such barriers have not been fully examined within a theoretical context. While most studies of consumers' decision to shop on the Internet have focussed on key shopping determinants, this thesis builds a conceptual model grounded in consumer behaviour theory. In particular, this thesis explores the application of the perceived risk theoretical framework, specifically looking at one dimension of perceived risk theory - performance risk and the influence it has on the phenomenon of Internet Abandoned Cart Syndrome (ACS). To explore this phenomenon, a number of extrinsic cues are identified as playing a major role in the performance evaluation process of online purchases. The combination of these elements enabled the researcher to develop a conceptual model from which a series of propositions were drawn. To acquire pertinent data and investigate each proposition, this study used a combination of indirect and direct techniques, namely projective techniques in the form of a third-person vignette, a structured tick-box questionnaire and finally semi-structured interviews. The results suggest that collectively the extrinsic cues of brand, reputation, design and price have an overall impact on the performance evaluation process just prior to an online purchase. Varying these cues either positively or negatively had a strong impact on performance evaluation. The conclusion of this study suggests consumers are often unable to measure the full extent of risk-taking directly. In the majority of cases, consumers are guided by numerous factors, some intrinsic, others extrinsic. E-tailers with an established reputation, a well designed web site with known brands and a balanced pricing strategy reduce the perceived performance risks associated with purchasing online, thus reducing the occurrence of ACS.

L’objectif de ce travail a été de proposer une méthode de détection de défaut pour le déplacement longitudinal du chariot mobile du Radiotélescope de Nançay. L’importance de l’implémentation d’une procédure de détection des défauts a été mise en évidence grâce à la description des besoins du personnel en charge de la maintenance de cet instrument scientifique. Ce mémoire débute par un état de l’art sur différentes méthodes de diagnostic (détection et isolation des défauts), une analyse critique de ces méthodes est réalisée. Nous rappelons ensuite les notions d’observabilité avant de présenter l’observateur de Newton et l’observateur de Ciccarella. L’extension de ce dernier aux systèmes MIMO est réalisée par la suite. Une comparaison de ces différents observateurs termine le chapitre 2. Le chapitre 3 présente le Radiotélescope de Nançay et plus particulièrement la modélisation du déplacement longitudinal du chariot mobile. Une étude des propriétés du modèle est abordée par la suite. Le dernier chapitre traite de la validation partielle du modèle obtenu au chapitre précédent. Ensuite, l’utilisation des relations de redondances analytiques a permis de mettre en évidence la faisabilité du diagnostic sur l’application. L’utilisation de l’extension de l’observateur de Ciccarella pour le diagnostic permet de réaliser la détection de défaut capteur en utilisant un banc d’observateurs. Le suivi de paramètres du modèle permet de suivre l’évolution du système (vieillissement par exemple) et la détection de défaut actionneurs. Dans l’ensemble, les résultats obtenus permettent de conclure sur la bonne détection des défauts capteurs et actionneurs. / The aim of this work was to propose a fault detection method for the longitudinal displacement of the mobile cart of the Radiotelescope of Nançay. The importance of the implementation of a procedure of detection of the defects was highlighted thanks to the description the needs of the personnel in charge of maintenance for this scientific instrument. This memory begin with a state of the art on various methods of diagnosis (detection and isolation of the default), a critical analysis of these methods is carried out. We point out then the concepts of observability before presenting the Newton observer and the Ciccarella observer. The extension of this last to systems MIMO is carried out thereafter. A comparison of these various observers finishes chapter 2. Chapter 3 presents the Radiotelescope of Nançay and more particularly the modelling of the longitudinal displacement of the mobile cart. A study of the properties of the model is approached thereafter. The final chapter covers validation partial of the model obtained in the preceding Chapter. Then, the use of analytical redundancy relations made it possible to highlight the feasibility of the diagnosis on the application. The use of the extension of the Ciccarella observer for the diagnosis makes it possible to carry out the detection of sensor fault by using a bench of observers. The follow-up of parameters of the model makes it possible to follow the evolution of the system (ageing for example) and the detection of defect actuators. As a whole, the results obtained make it possible to conclude on good detection from the sensor and actuator faults.

Introduction: Virus-specific CD8+ T cells are crucial to suppress the viral replication in HIV infection. Their functional status is important as well. Also, the chronic nonspecific immune activation of T and B lymphocytes plays an important role in the immunopathogenesis of HIV infection. Aim of the study: To analyze the frequency and functional status of HIV-specific CD8+ T cells and the expression of nonspecific activation markers on B and T cells in HIV+ patients and to assess the effect of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) on these parameters. Patients and methods: Our cohort included 80 HIV+ patients: 36 HIV+ patients on cART, 18 patients without therapy, in whom cART was introduced during our study, 9 patients without therapy, 10 patients with primary HIV infection, 3 long-term non-progressors and 4 patients initially on cART, in whom the therapy was discontinued. Control group consisted of 34 HIV- healthy individuals. We examined CD4+ a CD8+ T cell counts, viral load, expression of nonspecific activation markers on T cells and the frequency of HIV-specific CD8+ T cells by ELISpot method and flow cytometry using MHC tetramers and intracellular cytokine detection. Results: No significant differences in HIV-specific CD8+ T cells were found between treated and untreated HIV+ patients. The frequency...
