Ce mémoire s’intéresse à la façon dont s’intègrent les tableaux à sujets historiques du peintre canadien-français Joseph Légaré (1795-1855) au sein d’une tradition américaine de représentation picturale. L’analyse du corpus de l’artiste suggère que ce dernier participe à la diffusion de récits mythologiques propres à l’Amérique : à cet effet, la comparaison des œuvres de Légaré aux séries de tableaux du peintre états-unien Thomas Cole (1801-1848) souligne la présence d’une structure cyclique similaire, inspirée des mythologies européennes, mais dans laquelle sont réactualisées de nouvelles données (territoriales, socioculturelles, politiques) proposées par le continent américain. Ainsi, la production de Légaré s’ordonne en fonction d’un archémythe principal, celui de la régénérescence de la nation, et de mythes fondateurs qui retracent les débuts de l’histoire coloniale, alors que se côtoyaient l’Amérindien et le missionnaire jésuite. Tandis que le premier, par association symbolique, devient une figure de rhétorique prédominante dans le discours identitaire tenu par l’artiste, le second y est plutôt célébré pour sa résistance à l’Autre et son courage. À ce chapitre, cette étude démontre l’existence d’une filiation effectuée par l’artiste entre les Canadiens français, les communautés autochtones et les martyrs jésuites, laquelle repose sur le destin tragique qui leur est respectivement associé et le statut de victime qu’ils endossent. Ainsi, la mythologie nationale véhiculée dans les œuvres de Légaré s’articule autour de mythes dépresseurs, axés sur l’idée d’une nation vaincue, mais qui, par la prise en charge de sa mémoire collective, pourra un jour renaître de ses cendres. / The purpose of this study is to integrate the historical paintings of French Canadian painter Joseph Légaré (1795-1855) into an American tradition of pictorial representation. The analysis of the artist’s corpus suggests that he participates in the diffusion of American mythological narratives. Indeed, the comparison between the paintings of Légaré and those of the American painter Thomas Cole (1801-1848) underlines the presence of a similar cyclic structure, inspired by European myths, but in which are updated new territorial, cultural and political data specific to the American continent. From this perspective, the artistic production of Légaré organizes itself according to a main “archémythe”, one of national renewal, and some founding myths, which redraw the beginnings of colonial history, where the Amerindian and the Jesuit missionary predominated. The Indian, by symbolic association, becomes a rhetorical figure in the discourse of national identity formulated by the artist, whereas the Jesuit martyr is rather celebrated for his resistance and his courage in front of the other. In this regard, this study demonstrates the existence of an association made by the painter between French Canadians, Native people and Jesuit martyrs, which is based on the tragic fate that is associated with each group and the status of victim that they had to assume. Consequently, the national mythology represented in the works of Légaré is structured around depressant myths, based on the idea of a defeated nation, but which, by the creation of a collective memory, can, one day, rise from the ashes. / Pour respecter les droits d'auteur, la version électronique de ce mémoire a été dépouillée de ses documents visuels et audio-visuels.

Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia - FAPEB / Eplingiella fruticosa (Salzm. Ex Benth.) Harley & JFB Pastore is an aromatic species, native, occurring in six states in northeastern Brazil (Bahia, Sergipe, Pernambuco, Paraiba, Rio Grande do Norte and Cear?). Popularly known as "alecrim de vaqueiro", is commonly found in street markets of the region and used to combat pain and seizures. Reviews in mice and in vitro studies show analgesic activity, vasodilating, cardioprotetiva, anti-inflammatory and larvicidal of its essential oil and of different types of the leaves extract. Recent studies show great variability in essential oil chemical composition of E. fruticosa, related to soil and climatic conditions and different plant organs. Thus, the species has great potential for exploration both agronomic, and by pharmaceutical companies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vegetative propagation capacity and characterize previously Eplingiella genotypes, through morphological, agronomic, phytochemicals and molecular data. In Chapter I, two experiments were conducted: the first tested the effect of three substrates and the second evaluated five concentrations of IBA and three periods of cultivation. The design was a randomized block design with four replications. We evaluated survival percentage (% S), percentage of rooted cuttings (% EE), root length (CRE), number of shoots (NBE), dry mass of leaves (MSF), root dry weight (MSR) and total dry matter (MST). In Chapter II, twelve genotypes were collected, propagated vegetatively and transplanted. Twelve months after transplantation were assessed 12 quantitative traits, eight morphological and agronomic four. In Chapter III, the total DNA was extracted, then 20 primers were tested, of which nine were selected because they have better electrophoretic profiles agarose gel (2%). The binary matrix was computed in GEOCOMPAR II. It is estimated the diversity of the genetic structure parameters and the data were subjected to Bayesian analysis, and Neighbor-joining dendrogram and principal component analysis (PCA) based on matrix of Nei distances. And in Chapter IV, samples of 100g of leaves each repetition per genotype were used in the essential oil hydrodistillation in Clevenger type apparatus for three hours, quantifying the content. The identification of the compounds and their contents was performed by GC (FID) and GC / MS data 15 and the major compounds were used in diversity analysis. They have been made to cluster analysis and canonical variables, using as dissimilarity measure the Mahalanobis distance (D2). In the first experiment of Chapter I, significant differences were found for CRE, NBE, MSF, MSR and MST, with the best performance for the commercial substrate. In the second, positive effects have been identified both the addition of AIB as the cultivation time on the CRE variables, NBE, MSF and MSR, reaching maximum increment to the estimated concentration of 1.5 g L-1, at 60 days of cultivation. In Chapter II, there was significant variation by F test (p <0.01) for the CF features, LF, CBD, CBE, LP, and MFF MSF. The genotypes formed two groups for almost all variables, by Scott-Knott test (p <005), except for LP, which formed three. The EF002 and EF003 genotypes presented the highest levels for almost all variables. There was the formation of three groups for both UPGMA and for the canonical variables (CV). The characteristics that most contributed to the formation of groups were CBE, MFF and CF. The genotypes EF002, EF003, EF005 and EF012 stood out because they have higher genetic distances. In CHAPTER III, primers produced 131 polymorphic bands. The diversity index of Nei (Ne) ranged between 0.31 and 0.39, while Shannon (I) ranged between 0.33 and 0.48. The percentage coefficient of genetic differentiation (Gst) was 0.29. In AMOVA most of the variation was within populations (69%), while among populations was 27% and 4% among species, indicating a good genetic structure. The average value of Fst was 0.175, demonstrating intermediate differentiation between populations. The structure of the Bayesian analysis method revealed three possibilities for the formation of groups (K = 2; = 6; 8 =;), however, it presented many migrants and high level of mixing individuals. The dendrogram generated by the Neighbor-Joining method confirmed the formation of two groups, with good support for major clades (100%). PCA analysis in the first two axis explained 21.06% of the total variation among populations. Finally, in Chapter IV, the genotypes were classified into four clusters: 1 - EF001 genotypes, EF006, EF007, EF008, EF010, EF011 and EF012 with E-caryophyllene and bicyclogermacrene as major; 2 - EF002 and EF003 genotypes, with the majority same as the previous group, however, percentage with average about 30% higher; 3 - EF004 and EF005 genotypes that showed a greater production of E-caryophyllene; and 4 - with EF009 genotype, forming a single group to present ?-pinene as balanced majority and percentage among the rest. This result was confirmed by canonical variables, which explained 76% of the variation. The bicyclogermacrene compounds, 1,8-cineol, ?-copaene and spathulenol represented the most important variables for analysis. / Eplingiella fruticosa (Salzm. ex Benth.) Harley & J.F.B. Pastore ? uma esp?cie arom?tica, nativa, que ocorre em seis estados do nordeste brasileiro (Bahia, Sergipe, Pernambuco, Para?ba, Rio Grande do Norte e Cear?). Popularmente conhecida como ?alecrim de vaqueiro?, ? comumente encontrada em feiras livres da regi?o e utilizada no combate a dores e convuls?es. Avalia??es em camundongos e in vitro comprovam atividades analg?sicas, vasodilatadora, cardioprotetiva, antinflamat?ria e larvicida do seu ?leo essencial e de diferentes tipos de extrato de suas folhas. Estudos recentes apontam grande variabilidade na composi??o qu?mica do ?leo essencial de E. fruticosa, relacionada ?s condi??es edafoclim?ticas e aos diferentes ?rg?os vegetais. Sendo assim, a esp?cie apresenta grande pot?ncial de explora??o tanto agron?mica, quanto por ind?strias farmac?uticas. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade de propaga??o vegetativa e caracterizar, previamente, gen?tipos de E. fruticosa, por meio de dados morfol?gicos, agron?micos, fitoqu?micos e moleculares. No CAP?TULO I, foram conduzidos dois experimentos: o primeiro testou o efeito de tr?s substratos e o segundo avaliou cinco concentra??es de AIB e tr?s per?odos de cultivo. O delineamento foi em blocos casualizado, com quatro repeti??es. Avaliou-se percentagem de sobreviv?ncia (%S), percentagem de estacas enraizadas (%EE), comprimento da raiz (CRE), n?mero de brota??es (NBE), massa seca de folhas (MSF), massa seca de raiz (MSR) e massa seca total (MST). No CAP?TULO II, doze gen?tipos foram coletados, propagados vegetativamente e transplantados. Doze meses ap?s o transplante foram avaliadas 12 caracter?sticas quantitativas, sendo oito morfol?gicase quatro agron?micas. No CAP?TULO III, o DNA total foi extra?do, em seguida 20 iniciadores foram testados, dos quais nove foram selecionados por apresentarem melhores perfis eletrofor?ticos em gel de agarose (2%). A matriz bin?ria foi computada no GEOCOMPAR II. Estimou-se os par?metros de diversidadee a estrutura gen?tica os dados foram submetidos ? an?lise Bayesiana, al?m de dendrograma Neighbor-joining e an?lise de componentes principais (PCA) com base na matriz de dist?ncias de Nei. E no CAP?TULO IV, amostras de 100g de folhas de cada repeti??o por gen?tipo foram utilizadas na hidrodestila??o do ?leo essencial, em aparelho tipo clevenger, durante tr?s horas, quantificando-se o teor. A identifica??o dos compostos e seus teores foi realizada por CG (DIC) e CG/EM e os dados de 15 compostos majorit?rios foram utilizados nas an?lises de diversidade. Foram procedidas an?lise de agrupamento e de vari?veis can?nicas, utilizando como medida de dissimilaridade a dist?ncia generalizada de Mahalanobis (D2).No primeiro experimento do CAP?TULO I, foram verificadas diferen?as significativas para CRE, NBE, MSF, MSR e MST, com melhor desempenho para o substrato comercial. No segundo, foram identificados efeitos positivos tanto da adi??o de AIB quanto dos tempos de cultivo sobre as vari?veis CRE, NBE, MSF e MSR, atingindo incremento m?ximo com a concentra??o estimada de 1,5 g L-1, aos 60 dias de cultivo. No CAP?TULO II, houve varia??o significativa, pelo teste de F (p<0,01), para as caracter?sticas CF, LF, CBD, CBE, LP, MFF e MSF. Os gen?tipos formaram dois grupos para quase todas as vari?veis, pelo teste de Scott-Knott (p<005), exceto para LP, que formou tr?s. Os gen?tipos EF002 e EF003 apresentaram as maiores m?dias para quase todas vari?veis. Houve a forma??o de tr?s grupos, tanto para UPGMA quanto para as vari?veis can?nicas (VC). As caracter?sticas que mais contribu?ram para a forma??o dos grupos foram CBE, MFF e CF. Os gen?tipos EF002, EF003, EF005 e EF012 se destacaram por apresentarem maiores dist?ncias gen?ticas. No CAP?TULO III, os iniciadores produziram 131 bandas polim?rficas. O ?ndice de diversidade de Nei (Ne) variou entre 0,31 e 0,39, enquanto Shannon (I) variou entre 0,33 e 0,48. O percentual do coeficiente de diferencia??o gen?tica (Gst) foi de 0,29. Na AMOVA a maior parte da varia??o ficou dentro das popula??es (69%), enquanto entre popula??es foi de 27% e entre esp?cies de 4%, indicando uma boa estrutura??o gen?tica. O valor m?dio de Fst foi 0,175, demonstrando diferencia??o intermedi?ria entre as popula??es. As an?lises de estrutura pelo m?todo Bayesiano revelou tr?s possibilidades de forma??o de grupos (K=2;=6;=8;), no entanto, apresentou muitos indiv?duos migrantes e elevado n?vel de miscigena??o. O dendograma gerado pelo m?todo de Neighbor-Joining confirmou a forma??o de dois grupos, com boa sustenta??o para os principais clados (100%). Na an?lise de PCA os dois primeiros axis explicaram 21,06% da varia??o total entre as popula??es. Por fim, no CAP?TULO IV, os gen?tipos foram classificados em quatro clusters: 1 - gen?tipos EF001, EF006, EF007, EF008, EF010, EF011 e EF012, com E-cariofileno e biciclogermacreno como majorit?rios; 2 - gen?tipos EF002 e EF003, com os mesmos majorit?rios que o grupo anterior, no entanto, com percentuais m?dios cerca de 30% superiores; 3 - gen?tipos EF004 e EF005, que evidenciaram uma maior produ??o de E-cariofileno; e 4 - com gen?tipo EF009, formando um grupo isolado por apresentar ?-pineno como majorit?rio e percentuais equilibrados entre os demais. Esse resultado foi confirmado pelas Vari?veis Can?nicas, que explicou 76% da varia??o. Os compostos biciclogermacreno, 1,8-cineol, ?-copaeno e espatulenol representaram as vari?veis de maior import?ncia para a an?lise.

The relationship between post-mortem state and changes of biological tissue impedance has been investigated to serve as a basis for developing an in-vitro measurement method for monitoring the freshness of meat. The main challenges thereby are the reproducible measurement of the impedance of biological tissues and the classification method of their type and state. In order to realize reproducible tissue bio-impedance measurements, a suitable sensor taking into account the anisotropy of the biological tissue has been developed. It consists of cylindrical penetrating multi electrodes realizing good contacts between electrodes and the tissue. Experimental measurements have been carried out with different tissues and for a long period of time in order to monitor the state degradation with time. Measured results have been evaluated by means of the modified Fricke-Cole-Cole model. Results are reproducible and correspond to the expected behavior due to aging. An appropriate method for feature extraction and classification has been proposed using model parameters as features as input for classification using neural networks and fuzzy logic. A Multilayer Perceptron neural network (MLP) has been proposed for muscle type computing and the age computing and respectively freshness state of the meat. The designed neural network is able to generalize and to correctly classify new testing data with a high performance index of recognition. It reaches successful results of test equal to 100% for 972 created inputs for each muscle. An investigation of the influence of noise on the classification algorithm shows, that the MLP neural network has the ability to correctly classify the noisy testing inputs especially when the parameter noise is less than 0.6%. The success of classification is 100% for the muscles Longissimus Dorsi (LD) of beef, Semi-Membraneous (SM) of beef and Longissimus Dorsi (LD) of veal and 92.3% for the muscle Rectus Abdominis (RA) of veal. Fuzzy logic provides a successful alternative for easy classification. Using the Gaussian membership functions for the muscle type detection and trapezoidal member function for the classifiers related to the freshness detection, fuzzy logic realized an easy method of classification and generalizes correctly the inputs to the corresponding classes with a high level of recognition equal to 100% for meat type detection and with high accuracy for freshness computing equal to 84.62% for the muscle LD beef, 92.31 % for the muscle RA beef, 100 % for the muscle SM veal and 61.54% for the muscle LD veal. / Auf der Basis von Impedanzspektroskopie wurde ein neuartiges in-vitro-Messverfahren zur Überwachung der Frische von biologischem Gewebe entwickelt. Die wichtigsten Herausforderungen stellen dabei die Reproduzierbarkeit der Impedanzmessung und die Klassifizierung der Gewebeart sowie dessen Zustands dar. Für die Reproduzierbarkeit von Impedanzmessungen an biologischen Geweben, wurde ein zylindrischer Multielektrodensensor realisiert, der die 2D-Anisotropie des Gewebes berücksichtigt und einen guten Kontakt zum Gewebe realisiert. Experimentelle Untersuchungen wurden an verschiedenen Geweben über einen längeren Zeitraum durchgeführt und mittels eines modifizierten Fricke-Cole-Cole-Modells analysiert. Die Ergebnisse sind reproduzierbar und entsprechen dem physikalisch-basierten erwarteten Verhalten. Als Merkmale für die Klassifikation wurden die Modellparameter genutzt.

Downy mildew has been a potentially devastating constraint to crop production within the Brassicaceae family worldwide (CABI, 2022) and on the Central Coast of California (Smukler, et al, 2008; Koike, et al. 2007). Downy mildew is a foliar disease, caused by the pathogens in the Hyaloperonospora genus on plants within the Brassicaceae family (Goker, et al, 2009). Downy mildew is a disease that is common in region of the world with Coastal climates that provide humidity and moderate temperatures (Sarahan, et al, 2017). Crops within the Brassicaceae family maintain a predominant role in agricultural systems worldwide (Cartea, et al, 2011) and on the Central Coast of California, in Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Ventura Counties (Hidalgo, et al, 2022; Settevendemie, et al, 2022; Sanford, et al, 2022; Griffin, et al, 2022; Chang, et al, 2022; Williams, et al, 2022). The crop production within the Brassicaceae family includes broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, and the spring mix production of wild arugula, cultivated arugula, and baby kale. In the first study, an in-lab screening of wild arugula (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) for downy mildew resistance was conducted to identify accessions that contain potential resources of resistance to Hyaloperonospora diplotaxidis. The germplasm of 199 wild arugula accessions was grown out under greenhouse conditions and inoculated with a v single isolate of H. diplotaxidis. A subset of 40 accessions of wild arugula were further inoculated with an additional three isolates of H. diplotaxidis and the ten most resistant accessions were selected for further inoculations. The inoculations of the final subset of ten accessions with the same three isolates were replicated an additional two times. When a factorial ANOVA was conducted to test the interaction between the isolate and accession used, it was found that the impact of the accession on disease incidence was independent from the isolate (P=0.993). Three accessions, 185, 79, and 17 were identified as a potential source of resistance to the isolates utilized in this study, for maintaining a disease incidence below 1%. To compare the results found in the in-lab resistance screening, a field trial was conducted with a subset of wild arugula accessions with diverse reactions to downy mildew. When a regression was conducted comparing the disease incidence under field and lab conditions, the R2 value was found to be 0.37. A second study was conducted to characterize the genetic, morphological, and host range diversity of downy mildew causing pathogens in the Hyaloperonospora genus of hosts in the Brassicaceae family. An isolate collection of approximately 40 isolates of Hyaloperonospora spp. was established and the phylogenetic relationships of these isolates were analyzed by creating two phylogenetic trees using their cox2 mtDNA and ITS rDNA sequences. The H. brassicae and H. diplotaxidis isolates from this study formed separate monophyletic groups in both the cox2 mtDNA and ITS rDNA phylogenetic analyses. When the host range of H. brassicae and H. diplotaxidis were characterized by inoculating a genetically and morphologically diverse set of four host plant species, the H. brassicae and H. diplotaxidis were found to have distinct host ranges. The H. brassicae isolate was found to be parasitic of all B. oleracea morphotypes including broccoli, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, and ornamental cabbage. The H. diplotaxidis isolate was found to only be parasitic on wild arugula, not cultivated arugula, wild mustard, or any of the B. oleracea morphotypes. The difference between sporangia of H. brassicae and H. diplotaxidis were found to be statistically significant, where the sporangia of H. brassicae were nearly circular and the sporangia of H. diplotaxidis were closer to an oval.

El conjunto de im?genes que son analizadas suman cuatrocientas cuarenta y seis fotograf?as que abarca desde los a?os 1960 hasta 1980. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar cu?les son los usos y funciones que las fotograf?as poseen para las instituciones de ense?anza, teniendo en cuenta la forma en que se han organizado en los ?ltimos a?os. A partir de esto, se busca la composici?n de series demostrando particularidades, con caracter?sticas similares, que permean los archivos de las tres instituciones escolares. En medio de ellas, se destaca al principio, la gran incidencia de im?genes en la tem?tica visual Desfiles C?vicos . El estudio con las fotograf?as escolares permite, por lo tanto, la observaci?n de las continuidades y de los cambios de esas pr?cticas en el medio escolar y por lo tanto, la formaci?n de la historia y de la mem?ria de estas escuelas. / A presente disserta??o analisa os arquivos fotogr?ficos escolares de tr?s institui??es de ensino p?blicas do Munic?pio de Torres/RS: o Instituto Estadual de Educa??o Marc?lio Dias, a Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental Professor Justino Alberto Tietboehl e a Escola Estadual Governador Jorge Lacerda. O conjunto de imagens totaliza 446 fotografias que correspondem aos anos de 1960 a 1980. Objetiva-se, neste trabalho, identificar quais os usos e as fun??es e as representa??es que as fotografias possuem para as institui??es de ensino, tendo em conta a forma como foram organizados ao longo destes anos. A partir disso, buscou-se a composi??o de s?ries desses arquivos fotogr?ficos e a identifica??o das particularidades e semelhan?as que permeiam os arquivos das tr?s institui??es escolares. Dentre elas, destaca-se a grande incid?ncia de imagens na tem?tica visual denominada desfiles c?vicos. O estudo com as fotografias escolares permite a observa??o da continuidade e das mudan?as dessas pr?ticas no meio escolar e, assim, a constitui??o da hist?ria e da mem?ria destas escolas.

The German Coast Project explores the early nineteenth century history of the Louisiana’s German Coast, spanning its formative years, the 1811 Slave Revolt, and the aftermath of the revolt, through the perspective of the Andry family. The website is powered through Omeka software, which creates a historical exhibition of compiled research. In addition, ArcGIS contributed to the website’s construction, as it allowed for the inclusion of interactive programs and maps within the website. Designed for high school students and genealogists, The German Coast Project creates new scholarship pertaining to the German Coast and the 1811 Slave Revolt, through the often-overlooked perspective of the Andry family. The primary theme of the project is to portray how Manuel Andry and his family were able to prosper financially after the 1811 Slave Revolt, even though they suffered a heavy emotional loss.
