Davidson usa a evidência da anáfora não apenas para postular eventos na ontologia, mas também como um argumento a favor de considerá-los como objetos ordinários (como particulares). No entanto, ao investigarmos os mecanismos linguísticos mobilizados na anáfora de eventos, encontramos grandes diferenças em comparação com o que encontramos na anáfora de objetos (em geral, linguisticamente veiculados através de nomes ou de descrições), levando-nos a colocar a afirmação de Davidson sob suspeita. Na primeira parte da tese, apresentamos e defendemos uma versão da teoria de eventos postulada por Davidson que os trata como objetos ordinários (particulares). Analisamos também as teorias que tomam eventos como propriedades de momentos de tempo e teorias que tomam eventos como entidades proposicionais. Cada uma dessas teorias tem seus méritos e problemas, mas o intuito é nos mantermos o mais próximo à formulação de Davidson para avaliarmos suas afirmações quanto à anáfora de eventos. Ainda na primeira parte, investigamos as relações entre dêixis e anáfora, um tema que envolve quaisquer discussões sobre termos usados anaforicamente. Na segunda parte da tese, nosso olhar volta-se para a anáfora de eventos cujos antecedentes são expressões sentenciais (i.e., que não são DPs). Diante de tais antecedentes, os termos anafóricos preferenciais são demonstrativos, e investigamos o pronome demonstrativo 'isso' e descrições demonstrativas da forma 'esse/essa/aquele/aquela N'. Apresentamos o estado-da-arte dos estudos sobre demonstrativos, salientando que eles podem ser tratados como termos referenciais ou como termos quantificacionais. Dado que o debate é bastante complexo e ainda incipiente, apresentamos duas análises de retomadas de eventos com demonstrativos: uma que os toma como termos referenciais, e outra que os toma como termos quantificacionais. Contudo, apesar dessa diferença nas análises, o resultado a que chegamos é semelhante, e mostra que os mecanismos por trás da anáfora de eventos são mais próximos da anáfora de entidades proposicionais do que da anáfora de objetos ordinários, contrariando a tese davidsoniana. Na terceira parte, analisamos a retomada de eventos em que o antecedente é uma estrutura nominal (i.e., DPs) e cujos termos anafóricos preferenciais são descrições definidas e demonstrativas. Nesta parte, investigamos a semântica das nominalizações e sua relação com eventos veiculados por verbos de ação flexionados. Assumimos, como é comum na literatura sobre eventos, que uma sentença com verbo de ação flexionado e sua contraparte com nominalização têm a mesma forma lógica. Mostramos que tal assunção leva a resultados indesejados quando consideramos a anáfora de eventos, que se situam, também nessa configuração, mais próxima da anáfora de entidades proposicionais. Na conclusão, apontamos que adotar a noção de evento como um objeto a partir do fenômeno da anáfora não se sustenta, já que a anáfora de eventos se assemelha em muito à anáfora de entidades abstratas, como as proposições, e não à anáfora de objetos. Tal conclusão tem consequências para as teorias semânticas contemporâneas que ingenuamente equiparam eventos a objetos. / Abstract: In this thesis, we evaluated Davidson's (1967) statement according to which event anaphora and (ordinary) object anaphora use the same linguistic resources. Davidson uses the evidence of anaphora not only to postulate events in the ontology but also as an argument for considering them as ordinary objects (as individuals). However, as we investigate the linguistic mechanisms mobilized in event anaphora and the ones mobilized in (ordinary) object anaphora we found significant differences, a conclusion which compromises Davidson's assumptions about the metaphysics of events. In the first part of this thesis, we present and defend a version of the theory of events postulated by Davidson that treats them as individuals in the same way as other objects. We look briefly at other theories that take events as properties of moments of time and theories that take events as propositional entities. Each of these theories has their merits and problems, but our intention is to follow Davidson's formulation closely, in order to evaluate his claims about anaphora event. We investigate the differences between deixis and anaphora, a theme that involves any discussion of the terms used in anaphora. In the second part, our attention goes to event anaphora when the antecedents are sentential expressions (i.e., that are not DPs). With this kind of antecedent, the preferred anaphoric terms are demonstratives, and we investigate the demonstrative pronoun 'isso' and demonstrative descriptions ('esse / essa / aquele / aquela N'). We present the state-of-the art of the studies of demonstrative, noting that they can be treated as referring or as quantificational expressions. Since the debate is very complex and still in its beginning, we present two analysis of event anaphora with sentential antecedents: one that takes the anaphoric terms as referential, and one that takes them as quantificational. However, despite this difference in the analysis, the result we reached is similar, and it shows that the mechanisms behind the anaphora of events are closer to the anaphora of propositional entities than to the anaphora of ordinary objects, against the Davidsonian thesis. In the third part, we analyze the anaphora of events in which the antecedent is a nominal structure (i.e., DPs); with this kind of antecedent the preferred anaphoric terms are definite and demonstrative descriptions. We also investigate the semantics of nominalizations and their relationship to events conveyed by inflected action verbs. We assume, as is common practice in the literature on events, that sentences with an inflected action verb and their nominalized counterparts have the same logical form. We show that this assumption leads to undesired results when we consider event anaphora. In the conclusion, we point out that adopting the concept of event as an object can not be sustained from the point of view of anaphoric phenomenona, since event anaphora resembles the anaphora of abstract entities such as propositions, and not object anaphora. This conclusion has implications for contemporary semantic theories which naively equate events and objects. / Universidade Estadual de Campi / Linguistica / Doutor em Linguística

An important episode of carbon sequestration, Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a (OAE-1a), characterizes the Lower Aptian worldwide, and is mostly known from deeper-water settings. The present work of two Lower Aptian deposits, Madotz (N Spain) and Curití Quarry (Colombia), is a multiproxy study that includes fossil assemblages, microfacies, X-ray diffraction bulk and clay mineralogy, elemental analyses (major, minor, trace elements), Rock-Eval pyrolysis, biomarkers, inorganic and organic carbon content, and stable carbon isotopes. The results provide baseline evidence of the local and global controlling environmental factors influencing OAE-1a in shallow-water settings. The data also improve our general understanding of the conditions under which organic-carbon-rich deposits accumulate. The sequence at Madotz includes four intervals (Unit 1; Subunits 2a, 2b and 2c) that overlap the times prior to, during and after the occurrence of OAE-1a. The Lower Unit 1(3m thick) is essentially siliciclastic, and Subunit 2a (20m) contains Urgonian carbonate facies that document abruptly changing platform conditions prior to OAE-1a. Subunit 2b (24.4 m) is a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic facies with orbitolinid-rich levels that coincides with OAE-1a δ13C stages C4-C6, and is coeval with the upper part of the Deshayesites forbesi ammonite zone. Levels with pyrite and the highest TOC values (0.4-0.97%), interpreted as accumulating under suboxic conditions, and are restricted to δ13C stages C4 and C5. The best development of the suboxic facies is at the level representing the peak of the transgression. Subunit 2c, within δ13C stage C7, shows a return of the Urgonian facies. The 23.35-m section at Curití includes a 6.3-m interval at the base of the Paja Formation dominated by organic-rich marlstones and shales lacking benthic fossils and bioturbation, with TOC values as high as 8.84%. The interval overlies a level containing reworked and phosphatized assemblages of middle Barremian to lowest Aptian ammonites. The range of values and the overall pattern of the δ13Corg (-22.05‰ to -20.47‰) in the 6.3m-interval is comparable with Lower Aptian δ13C stage C7. Thus, conditions of oxygen depletion at this site also occurred after Oceanic Anoxic Event-1a, which developed between carbon isotope stages C3 and C6. Both sites, Madotz and Curití, attest to the importance of terrigenous and nutrient fluxes in increasing OM productivity that led to episodic oxygen deficiency.

A religião foi trabalhada como um sistema cultural e o lazer como uma dimensão da cultura caracterizada pela busca pessoal por prazer. Adotando o método etnográfico, muitas práticas de lazer dos jovens foram mapeadas. Algumas que inicialmente não eram percebidas como tal. Através das noções de circuito de eventos evangélicos e de pedaço dos crentes tais práticas foram analisadas em conjunto. A maneira como os jovens vivenciam a sua fé e desfrutam de seu lazer demonstra que o crente não é necessariamente avesso ao lazer. Ao lançar um olhar retrospectivo sobre seu sistema cultural é possível perceber que talvez nunca tenha sido. A moderação, o sectarismo e certo tipo de hedonismo parecem disputar a influência sobre o lazer. Hoje, entre os jovens pesquisados, essa disputa traduz-se em várias sínteses individuais, embora, para eles, umas sejam mais bem quistas que outras. / This is a study on practices that come up in the intersection between religion and leisure, carried out in order to understand how a sphere influences the other, through a search of young evangelicals. The religion was treated as a cultural system and the leisure as a dimension of culture characterized by personal quest for pleasure. Adopting the ethnographic method, many leisure activities of young people have been mapped. Some who initially were not perceived as such. Through the notions circuit of evangelical events and slice of believers such practices were analyzed together. The way young people experience their faith and enjoy your leisure shows that the believer is not necessarily averse to leisure. A retrospective of their cultural system indicates that it may never have been. Moderation, sectarianism and a type of hedonism seem dispute the influence of leisure. Today, among the young people surveyed, this dispute is translated into several individual summaries, although, for them, some are more desirable than others.

This thesis applied a novel interdisciplinary approach for pharmacovigilance to examine the use of complementary and integrative medicine (CIM), focusing on herbal remedies, to manage pediatric attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The safety and potential risk of herb-drug interactions in ADHD management were first evaluated through an assessment of available information on the safety and efficacy of natural health products (NHPs) commonly used by ADHD patients as a means of identifying knowledge gaps. A clinical questionnaire was administered to caregivers of pediatric patients with ADHD to determine the factors and related outcomes of CIM use, including adverse events. A systematic search was conducted to further identify clinical adverse events involving herbal remedies and ADHD drugs to determine causal links to herb-drug interactions. In vitro analysis of identified herbal remedies was conducted to determine their potential for pharmacokinetic interactions, specifically on carboxylesterase-1 (CES1) mediated metabolism. The presented research builds on otherwise scarce evidence of the safety of herbal remedies for ADHD, particularly with respect to herb-drug interactions and adverse events (AEs) associated with concurrent use of NHPs and ADHD prescription drugs. Beyond studies conducted on the pharmacokinetic safety of herbal remedies through the cytochrome P450 pathways that metabolize some ADHD drugs, including amphetamine, atomoxetine and guanfacine, few data were available for CES1, which metabolizes methylphenidate, the first line of drug used to manage ADHD. The clinical questionnaire revealed that 40% of patients had used CIM and confirmed the use of a variety of CIM. Moreover, the majority of CIM users were also concurrently taking ADHD medication, and eight mild adverse events were self-reported. The systematic search on the adverse event reporting system highlighted a potential NHP-drug interaction between methylphenidate and St. John’s wort, and the overall poor quality of NHP-related adverse event reports. As a follow-up from the adverse event results, various commercial St. John’s wort products showed variable inhibition of recombinant human CES1 in vitro. Although the concentration of marker phytochemicals was not correlated to inhibition, hyperforin showed stronger activity than hypericin and quercetin. The preliminary in vitro investigation revealed that the herbal remedies used by ADHD patients have the potential to interact with CES1 mediated metabolism, with Rhodiola rosea identified as the most potent inhibitor. Further investigation on various commercial products of Rhodiola rosea revealed both reversible and irreversible inhibition of recombinant CES1. However, the inhibition was not dependent on the concentration of marker phytochemicals, and rosarin, rosavin, rosin, and salidroside were not potent inhibitors of recombinant CES1. Moreover, a commercial Rhodiola rosea extract showed concentration-dependent inhibition of human liver microsome meditated metabolism of methylphenidate. Overall, results from this thesis suggest potential risk from use of NHPs concurrently with conventional medicine used to manage ADHD. Improved evidence and pharmacovigilance for the use of NHPs in a pediatric population is warranted.

L'année 2015 s'est réalisée être un moment favorable pour les observations des phénomènes mutuels des satellites galiléens de Jupiter. Les phénomènes mutuels se produisent lorsque la Terre et le Soleil passent par le plan commun des orbites des satellites, cette configuration ayant lieu tous les six ans. Au cours de cette campagne, 236 phénomènes ont été observés et nous avons reçu plus de 600 courbes de lumière. Nous avons développé une méthode de réduction astrométrique de ces courbes à partir d'un modèle existant. Lors de la réduction des courbes de lumière, nous avons utilisé le modèle de réflectance et d'émittance de Hapke. Pour améliorer la méthode de réduction, nous avons mené une campagne d'observation pour déterminer de nouveaux paramètres photométriques des satellites galiléens. Ce travail est fondamental pour mettre à niveau les dernières données photométriques sur les satellites galiléens. Il est à noter que la photométrie au sol de ces satellites n'a jamais été effectuée dans le méthane ou même dans toutes les différentes bandes RVB. Une fois les données astrométriques extraites des courbes de lumière, nous les avons utilisées pour ajuster le modèle dynamique de V. Lainey et produire de nouvelles éphémérides. Nous montrons dans ce travail l'amélioration que les observations de phénomènes mutuels peuvent permettre pour les modèles dynamiques satellitaires. / The year 2015 was a favorable opportunity for the mutual event observations of the galilean satellites of Jupiter. Mutual events occur when the Earth and the Sun cross the common plane of their orbits. This configuration happens every six years when the apparent Jovian declinations of Earth and Sun become zero.During this campaign, we observed 236 events, and we received more than 600 light curves. We developed an astrometric reduction of these light curves based on an existing model. To reduce the light curves, we used Hapke’s model of reflectance and emittance.To improve the reduction method, we led an observational campaign to record photometric data of the galilean moons. This work was fundamental to upgrade the last photometric data on the galilean satellites. Ground based photometry of these moons had never been done in the methane band or in RGB bands.The astrometric data extracted from the light curves were used by V. Lainey to fit his dynamical model of the galilean satellites and build new ephemerides. Comparisons between ephemerides were made in order to evaluate the impact of the mutual event observations on the determination of the dynamical parameters.

Bakgrund: Hjärtinfarkt är en av de vanligaste sjukdomarna som leder till plötslig död runt om i världen. I Sverige insjuknar varje år 25300 av hjärtinfarkt. Stress, ångest, depression och en ohälsosam livsstil är några riskfaktorer som ökar risken för att drabbas av en hjärtinfarkt. Efter en hjärtinfarkt så krävs det livsstilsförändringar för att uppnå god hälsa, exempelvis fysisk aktivering, hälsosamma kostvanor och rökstopp. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva hur personer upplever sin vardag och livsstilsförändringar efter en hjärtinfarkt. Metod, detta examensarbete är en litteraturstudie som utgår ifrån 12 artiklar med både kvalitativ och kvantitativ ansats. Artiklarna som valdes ut överensstämmer med studien syfte. Databasen MedLine via PubMed användes för att leta upp artiklarna. Huvudresultatet i studien visar att många personer upplever problem i vardagen efter en hjärtinfarkt och har svårigheter att anpassa sig till de livsstilsförändringar som är nödvändiga efter en hjärtinfarkt. Resultatet visar att personens psykiska, emotionella, fysiska hälsa kan påverkas till det sämre efter en hjärtinfarkt. Detta kan leda till problem i det vardagliga livet, förhållanden och samlivet. Slutsatsen, hjärtinfarkt kan leda till en emotionell, existentiell och fysisk dagligt kamp. Sjuksköterskan ska kunna ge stöd, information och rehabilitering till vederbörande så att de kan återgå till ett mer hälsosamt vardagligt liv. Personer kan behöva få hjälp med olika copingstrategier av sjuksköterskan för att kunna hantera den nya livssituationen bättre. Personers erfarenheter och upplevelser av det dagliga livet kan ge sjuksköterskan värdefull kunskap, vilket kan förbättra den framtida vården för vederbörande. / Background: Myocardial infarction is one of the most common diseases that lead to sudden death around the world. In Sweden, 25300 people is affected by MI each year. Stress, anxiety, depression and an unhealthy lifestyle are just some risk factors that increase the risk of MI. After a MI, lifestyle changes are required to achieve good health, such as physical activation, healthy diets and smoking cessation. Aim, the purpose of this literature study was to describe how people experience their everyday life and lifestyle changes after a MI. Method, this thesis is a descriptive study that is based on 12 articles with both qualitative and quantitative approach. The articles selected correspond to the purpose of the study. The PubMed database via MedLine was used to find the articles. Main results, the study shows that many patients experience problems in everyday life after a MI and have difficulty adjusting to the lifestyle changes that are necessary after a MI .The result shows that people's mental, emotional, physical health and social life are negatively affected after a MI. This can lead to problems in everyday life, like relationships and intimacy. In conclusion, MI can lead to an emotional, existential and physical daily struggle. The nurse should be able to provide support, information and rehabilitation to the person concerned so that they can return to a more healthy everyday life. People may also need help with different coping strategies by the nurse to better handle the new life situation. People’s experiences of the daily life can provide the nurse with valuable knowledge, which can improve the future care for the person concerned.

Bakgrund: Diabetes mellitus typ 2 är en kronisk sjukdom som blir allt vanligare i samhället. Under 2019 uppskattades 463 miljoner vuxna leva med diagnosen och antalet förväntas att stiga. Komplikationer av sjukdomen är många men de allvarligaste är hyperglykemi och kardiovaskulära förändringar. Vården utgörs till stor del av egenvårdsaktiviteter för att främja fysisk aktivitet, hälsosam vikt och rökstopp. Egenvård innebär ett partnerskap med sjuksköterskan vilket innebär att patienten själv måste aktivt delta. Syfte: Syftet med denna översiktsstudie var att belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenheter patientutbildning inom diabetes typ 2. Metod: Denna studie är en översiktsstudie med kvalitativ design baserad på tio granskade studier. Studierna analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys för att identifiera kategorier och underkategorier som svarade till syftet. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i två huvudkategorier: Sjuksköterskans upplevelser av barriärer och Sjuksköterskans upplevelser av sin identitet inom patientutbildningen. Detta innebär att det finns olika roller som sjuksköterskan måste tillämpa, vilket kan leda till osäkerhet. Sjuksköterskorna upplevde i vissa sammanhang även en otillräcklighet. Sjuksköterskorna upplevde även att det fanns barriärer av olika slag som hindrade en adekvat patientutbildning Konklusion: Det fanns en vilja och en insikt om att egenvårdsteori och individanpassning var något av stor vikt i patientutbildningen. Samtidigt uppmärksammades olika hinder strukturellt och personligt för att anpassa sin roll efter dessa principer. / Background: Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a chronic disease that is becoming more common in society. In 2019, 463 million adults were estimated to live with the diagnosis and the figure is expected to rise. Complications of the disease are many but the most serious are hyperglycemia and cardiovascular changes. The care consists largely of self-care activities to promote physical activity, healthy weight and smoking cessation. Self-care involves a partnership with the nurse, which means that the patient himself must actively participate. Purpose: The purpose of this literature review study was to illuminate nurses' experiences patient education in type 2 diabetes. Method: This study is a review study with a qualitative design based on ten studies. The studies were analyzed using content analysis to identify categories and subcategories that corresponded to the purpose. Results: The analysis resulted in two main categories: Nurse's experiences of barriers and Nurse's experiences of her identity in patient education. This means that there are different roles that the nurse must play, which can lead to uncertainty. In some contexts, the nurses also experienced an inadequacy. Conclusion: The nurses also felt that there were barriers of various kinds that prevented adequate patient education. At the same time, various obstacles were noted structurally and personally to adapt their role to these principles.

This master’s thesis aims to discover how the Gothenburg City Library works to foster a democratic society, thus fulfilling one of the main requirements set by the Swedish library law. The study will analyse how the library interprets its democratic mission by focusing on three theories of democracy: representative democracy, participatory democracy and deliberative democracy. An intersectional approach to the material will aim to further explore how accessible the events are and what consequences this might have on the patrons level of democratic participation in society. This was done through a case study of the events taking place at the library during 2018. Official documents that regulate or affect the library’s events were included to better understand how the democratic work set by the library law is interpreted on different levels of authority. The study found that the Gothenburg city library takes its democratic mission seriously and has an extensive event calendar. By adapting to the changing needs of society to create an accessible library, they give their patrons an opportunity to participate in events that will influence their society and give them the knowledge needed to actively participate in their communities. However, creating accessible programs for everyone is a never-ending challenge that requires national support and cooperation between libraries on a nation-wide scale. This is a two years master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.

Para el presente trabajo de investigación se detectaron dos problemas en la coyuntura Limeña. El primero es que las empresas organizadoras de eventos culturales tienen poca afluencia debido a una difusión ineficiente de sus eventos. El segundo, es complicado encontrar oferta cultural en Lima. Para darle solución a estos problemas, el equipo de investigación ha planteado el desarrollo de un aplicativo mediante el cual los organizadores pueden difundir sus eventos y vender entradas por el mimo aplicativo; y donde los usuarios podrán encontrar toda la oferta cultural que Lima ofrece mediante un mapa que le permite ver en tiempo real lo que sucede a su alrededor. Para el desarrollo del trabajo se realizaron un sin fin de experimentos con usuarios y clientes que permitieron hacer proyecciones adecuadas, así como los planes estratégicos, operativo, de marketing, de recursos humanos, de responsabilidad social y financiero de acuerdo a las necesidades del mercado. El análisis cuantitativo de la investigación concluye en la necesidad de invertir S/. 44,350.75 soles para obtener S/. 26,207.20 como utilidad neta el primer año, S/. 197,488.59 en el segundo año y S/. 609,430.36 en el tercer año. El valor del proyecto es de S/ 1,252,819.49. / For the present research work, two problems were detected in the Lima juncture. In first place, companies organizing cultural events have little influx due to inefficient dissemination of their events. On the other hand, it is difficult to find cultural offer in Lima. To solve these problems, the research team has proposed the development of an application through which organizers can disseminate their events and sell tickets in the same application; and where users can find all the cultural offer that Lima offers through a map that allows them to see in real time what is happening around them. For the development of the work, an endless number of experiments were carried out with users and clients that allowed adequate projections, as well as strategic, operational, marketing, human resources, social and financial responsibility plans according to market needs. The quantitative analysis of the research concludes in the need to invest S /. 44,350.75 soles to obtain S /. 26,207.20 as net income the first year, S /. 197,488.59 in the second year and S /. 609,430.36 in the third year. The value of the project is S/. 1,252,819.49. / Trabajo de investigación
