A sonoridade é um aspecto importante para a execução violonística. Esse trabalho tem por objetivo estudar a sonoridade com um elemento da execução musical, entender os seus aspectos formadores dentro do âmbito técnico, textual e perceptivo, utilizando-se como exemplo duas gravações das Quatro Peças Breves de Frank Martin. Os resultado são discutidos à luz do embasamento teórico, fazendo-se considerações a respeito das possibilidades de execução musical e como a sonoridade do violão atua nesse contexto. / Sound is an important aspect to guitar performance. The purpose of this work is to study the sound as an element of musical performance, understanding the aspects which form it as seen through technique, text and perception, using two recordings of the Frank Martin´s Quatre Pièces Brèves as example. The results were based on the theoretical framework considering the possibilities of musical performance and how the guitar sound works in this context.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar a influência da Arquitetura Japonesa Tradicional sobre o Ocidente, evidenciando as relações diretas das casas tradicionais japonesas com as primeiras casas modernistas ocidentais do início do século XX, através da analise de seus conceitos,de suas técnicas e de suas composições. Primeiramente, mostra-se a história, a concepção espacial e os elementos da Arquitetura Japonesa Tradicional, para se ter a compreensão de como os japoneses percebem, distintamente do Ocidente, o mundo físico e a sua dimensão psicológica. A seguir são selecionadas algumas obras do arquiteto ocidental Frank Lloyd Wright que demonstram as influências recebidas através do seu contato com o Japão, traçando assim um paralelo entre Arquitetura Japonesa Tradicional e Arquitetura Moderna Ocidental. Por fim, procura-se o entendimento de um novo produto gerado, quando as expressões e as técnicas japonesas tradicionais se fundem com as formas e com os espaços ocidentais. / This paper aims on demonstrating the influence of Traditional Japanese Architecture on the West, pointing out the direct reletions between the Tradicional Japanese Houses and the first modern houses in the begining of 20th century, through the analysis of its concepts, techniques and composition. Firstly the history, the spatial conception and the elements of the Tradicional Japanese Architecture are presented in order to understand how japanese perceive the physical world and its psychological aspects. Some work of western architect Frank Lloyd Wright,which demmonstrate the influences of his contact with Japan, are selected to follow, therefore stablishins a paralel between Japanese Traditional and modern western architecture. Finaly, an understanding of a new product is pursued, when the tradidional japanese expression and technics merge with western form and space.

Segundo Wright, a Arquitetura Orgânica possui princípios, onde se baseiam e se fundamentam os projetos. A análise foi realizada pelo método de investigação gráfica, ou seja, por diagramas e para tanto adotamos itens de análise que favorecessem o estudo sistemático dos princípios de sua Arquitetura Orgânica, a fim de criar diagramas sintéticos interpretativos. Foram selecionadas quatorze obras construídas significativas que representam cerca de 400 residências construídas no total, e que fora dividida em três fases: Residências Prairie, Textile Block e Usonia. Para o melhor entendimento das análises dos projetos na primeira e segunda parte da dissertação foram elaborados textos que estabelecem uma base teórica fundamental a partir de escritos do próprio arquiteto, teóricos, críticos e seus clientes e aprendizes. As análises individuais geraram diagramas interpretativos que revelam como foram concretizados, em formas e espaços arquitetônicos, os princípios de sua Arquitetura. Os diagramas revelam tanto características da individualidade de cada projeto e suas peculiaridades, como a linguagem presente no conjunto da obra de cada fase. As tabelas comparativas revelam as transformações do projeto residencial de Wright em cada fase, bem como em todo o conjunto de sua obra, onde fica claro o amadurecimento e consolidação de uma arquitetura genuinamente norteamericana. A análise por comparação torna clara a riqueza e variedade de uma arquitetura coerente e fundamentada nos mesmos princípios. Essa arquitetura humanista contribuiu ao mesmo tempo para uma nova conceituação do espaço sem desrespeitar a natureza, a região e os indivíduos / Abstract: The main purpose of this dissertation is the analysis of residential projects of modern architect Frank Lloyd Wright by the graphical method. According to Wright, Organic Architecture has principles, where projects are based on. The analysis was carried through by the graphic method of investigation and diagrams. For that reason, we adopt some analysis item that privileged the systematic study of the principles of his Organic Architecture, in order to create interpretative synthetic diagrams. Fourteen significant residences had been selected among all the construct projects, which represent about 400 residences constructed in the total, and divided in three phases: Prairie, Textile Block and Usonia residences. For finest understanding of the analyses of the projects in first and the second part of the dissertation, texts had been elaborated which establish a basic theoretical base from writings of the architect, theoreticians, critics and his customers and apprentices. The individual analyses had created interpretative diagrams that disclose how they were materialized, in forms and architectural spaces, the principles of his Architecture. The diagrams in such a way disclose of the individuality of each project and its peculiarities, as the present language in the set of the projects of each phase. The comparative tables disclose the transformations of the residential project of Wright in each phase, as well as in all the set of each project, where we can clearly notice the mature and consolidation of a genuinely North American architecture. The comparative analysis brings clear the wealth and variety of a coherent architecture and based on the same principles. This humanist architecture contributed at the same time for a new conceptualization of the space without disrespecting the nature, the region and the individuals / Mestrado / Mestre em Artes

Gamer mode är ett vinstfokuserat-beteende där Frank menar att det finns 3 faktorer till varför ”gamer mode” uppkommer, där en av faktorerna handlar om hur spelet framställs. I det här arbetet har fokus varit på den andra faktorn om framställning och hur den påverkar spelarens beteende gällande poängsamlande. Deltagarna i undersökningen delades upp i två grupper och som skulle spela ett spel som var identiskt förutom dess framställning i form utav en introduktionsskärm. Denna introduktionsskärm uppmanade till att utföra egocentriska eller altruistiska uppgifter där de egocentriska uppgifterna lede till poäng. Resultatet visade på att den gruppen som fick en egocentrisk framställning var mer benägna till poäng medan de som fick en altruistisk framställning inte var lika benägna till poängsamlande. Möjligheter till vidare forskning finns genom att pröva olika grader av framställning för spelaren för att undersöka hur dess beteende påverkas, samt liknande undersökning fast i ett 3D-spel.

While focusing on high fashion and architecture, this thesis explores an aesthetic transition between the early 20th century’s “modern” style and the later 20th century style of “deconstruction.” We believe the style of “deconstruction” revolutionized visual metaphors for modern gender identity through the manipulation and experimentation of surfaces. These metaphors were accomplished through transformation relationships between surface, structure, and ornament. This study exclusively uses examples from women’s fashion and building façades for its analysis

While focussing on the metaphor of scientificity in Leavis's and Macherey's writings, this dissertation addresses other questions central to criticism, cultural theory, and the philosophy of science. Whereas Leavis opposes scientificity, Macherey proposes "scientific criticism" as imperative to theoretical practice. Between the two critics, scientificity reveals its major metamorphoses. This study is divided into four major parts. Part One situates the concept of scientificity in the modern debate between critics and philosophers of science. I compare their problematization of scientificity to the way this notion has been represented in literary criticism. The debate blurs the boundary between scientific and literary knowledge, and brings the question of ideology in scientific discourse to the fore. Scientificity is thus bound with ideology as an epistemological practice. Part two focusses on Leavis's rejection of scientificity. In three chapters here I investigate the significance of Leavis's definition of "organic culture," "civilization," "science," and "criticism." These are all rooted in Arnold's cultural paradigm, which privileges a traditional order. Leavis's opposition to "theory," "science," and "philosophy" problematizes his principles of "precision," "analysis," and "standards." His controversies with CP. Snow's scientism and with Marxism reveal his concern with theory and scientific epistemology. His defence of "ambiguity," and "impossibility of definition" also makes his framework confront a theoretical impasse that is revealed by a desire to theorize criticism—Leavis's duty towards society— and a fear of theory and science, perceived as destructive. Part Three, comprising three chapter, considers Macherey's scientific criticism. His notions of the "structure of absence" and "symptomatic reading" are central to his theorization of criticism, science, and ideology. These are formulated through Freud's categories of dream analysis, Saussure's notion of difference, and Althusser's conception of ideology. For Macherey, scientific criticism negates ideology. But his emphasis on "absence" as constitutive of scientificity brings his epistemology to a theoretical impasse that resembles Leavis's. Macherey's anchoring of meaning in economic structures, in ideology, and in Marxism as "science," problematizes his scientific project because it abandons "absence." Part Four concludes the dissertation by investigating ways in which Leavis and Macherey illustrate the importance of an epistemological phenomenon in literary studies: criticism's struggle with scientificity. Whether opposed or defended, scientificity has helped criticism to emulate the hegemonic discourse of science and to combat rival critical strategies. However, to dispel "scientific" delusions, criticism must scrutinize its affiliation with ideology both in scientific method and in theory. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

The main topic of this diploma thesis is a response of the American administration and its legislation to the financial crisis which took place between the years 2007 and 2009 and the resulting changes in the financial markets regulatory rules in the United States. The aim of the thesis is to analyze specific individual sections of the well-known Dodd-Frank Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and its impacts on the banking sector in the US. The first part of the thesis deals with the analysis of main causes of the so-called mortgage financial crisis of the first decade of the 21th century. Numerical evidence shows the impacts into the real economy and channels through which the crisis had spread into financial markets worldwide are also described. The following sections contain in-depth description and analysis of changes in regulatory legislation and rules governing the US banking and other financial institutions.

The master thesis deals with macroprudential policy and its application in the US. The thesis is mainly focused on the large reform of the financial market in the US known as Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The main objective of the thesis is to analyse the impact of this act on the financial market in the US. The thesis is divided into four chapters, which are logically connected. The first chapter describes the institutional structure of the regulation and supervision over the financial market in the US, with the emphasis on the organisational structure of FED. The second chapter deals with macroprudential policy from the theoretical point of view with the focus on the tools of the policy and its interaction with other policies. It also covers the incentives which lead into putting this policy into practice. The third chapter focuses on the causes of the financial crisis and particularly on the response to the crisis in the form of Dodd-Frank Act. The final chapter analyses the impact of particular measures contained in Dodd-Frank Act on the US financial market. Analysing this the thesis concludes whether these measure were successful from the perspective of objectives that Dodd-Frank Act wanted to meet.

For this project, the author uses Bakhtin's theory of carnival to illuminate Zappa's sound and rhetoric. The author hopes that by using this theoretical lens allows audiences to understand Zappa's choices in subject matter. Those who can see his work as satire and understand the use of carnivalesque techniques in challenging authority see the genius in his work.
