Cette étude vise à analyser une série d’édifices connus sous le nom de « temples à foyer central » en Égée, à Chypre et au Levant, de la fin de l'Âge du Bronze à l'Archaïsme. Il s'agit essentiellement d' une étude architecturale et artefactuelle portant sur un type de construction souvent interprété comme l'habitat des élites durant la période dite des « Âges obscurs ». La présence d'un foyer-autel, comme point focal du culte, au sein de ces constructions, invite à considérer qu'ils ont un rôle non négligeable dans la genèse du temple grec. D’un bout à l’autre de notre cadre d’étude, ces édifices témoignent de salles de banquets destinées aux rituels des élites, dont l’action centrale réside dans la pratique du sacrifice animal. Ces pièces, souvent multifonctionnelles à plus d’un titre, donnent naissance aux premiers « temples des citoyens » dans le contexte des poleis crétoises. Ces testimonia se trouvent ici répertoriés dans un catalogue exhaustif, prenant en compte également les objets qui y étaient associés. La réflexion s’organise autour d’une première partie qui permet de remettre en question la nomenclature qui sert à l’analyse de ces monuments, avant de traiter la question des antécédents de cette forme architecturale à la fin de l’Âge du bronze pour chaque aire géographique concernée. Le chapitre suivant examine la dimension symbolique du feu dans ces civilisations, incarné dans l’Antiquité grecque par Hestia, la déesse du foyer, ainsi que son rôle sur le plan des institutions politiques (andreia, prytanées, etc.). La question des phénomènes d’influences, de syncrétismes religieux entre ces différentes régions de la Méditerranée est explorée dans le chapitre suivant, tant sur le plan de la culture matérielle (exotica, influences architecturales) que des croyances religieuses. Enfin un chapitre synthétise l’ensemble des données et des problématiques architecturales liées à ces édifices, auquel correspond une série de tableaux. / The aim of this study is to investigate a series of edifices found in the Aegean, on Cyprus and in the East dating from the end of the Bronze Age through to the Archaic Period and collectively referred to as ‘Hearth Temples’. The study is centered on an evaluation of the architecture and artefacts relating to a type of building often thought to have constituted elite housing from the so- called Dark Ages. The presence of a hearth/altar in the centre of these constructions, which served as a religious focal point, suggests that they played a significant role in the genesis of the Greek temple. Within the timeframe of this study, these buildings display banquet halls designed for elite rituals and in which the main activity was the practice of animal sacrifice. These rooms, often serving multiple functions, gave rise to the first ‘citizen temples’ within the context of Cretan poleis. The relevant testimonia are listed here in an exhaustive catalogue that also takes into account relevant object finds. The first part of the study concerns itself with a re- evaluation of the nomenclature associated with these monuments, before analyzing the antecedents to this type of architecture at the end of the Bronze Age and for each of the geographical regions in question. The following chapter questions the symbolic dimension of fire in these civilizations, incarnated in Greek antiquity by Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, as well as by her role in political institutions (andreia, prytaneis etc.). In the next chapter, the mutual influence these different Mediterranean regions had on each other is explored, both in terms of material culture (exotica, architectural influence) and in terms of religious beliefs (religious syncretism). The final chapter brings together all of the findings and summarizes the architectural problems associated with these buildings, for which a series of tables is also included.

Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht den Einsatz einer induktiven Längsfelderwärmung im Wärmebehandlungsprozess der direkten Warmumformung automobiler Karosserieblechbauteile. Zur Charakterisierung des Erwärmungsvorgangs werden sowohl experimentbasierte Regressionsmodelle als auch ein FEM-Simulationsmodell entwickelt. Der Einfluss der induktiven Erwärmung auf die Ausbildung der AlSi-Beschichtung, die Widerstandspunktschweißbarkeit so-wie die Korrosionsbeständigkeit gefertigter Blechbauteile wird dargelegt. Abschließend wird ein Anlagenkonzept entwickelt, das durch den Einsatz der induktiven Längsfelderwärmung eine Verringerung der Erwärmungsdauer um etwa 50 % sowie eine Verkürzung der erforderlichen Ofenlänge um etwa 37 % ermöglicht.:Kurzzeichenverzeichnis 1 Einleitung 2 Stand der Wissenschaft und Technik 2.1 Warmumformung 2.1.1 Begriffe und Einordnung 2.1.2 Werkstofftechnische Grundlagen der Warmumformung 2.1.3 Platinenwerkstoffe und -beschichtungen 2.1.4 Erwärmungstechnologien in der Serienproduktion 2.2 Induktive Erwärmung 2.2.1 Begriffe und Einordnung 2.2.2 Physikalische und werkstofftechnische Einflüsse 2.2.3 Induktive Erwärmung von Bandmaterial 2.2.4 Induktive Erwärmung von Formplatinen für die Warmumformung 3 Aktuelle und zukünftige technologische Anforderungen an die Erwärmungstechnik in der Warmumformung 4 Problemstellung 5 Versuchsanlage zur induktiven Erwärmung von Formplatinen 6 Entwicklung eines mathematischen, experimentbasierten Modells der induktiven Erwärmung von Rechteckplatinen 6.1 Systembeschreibung 6.2 Methode 6.3 Validierung 6.4 Charakterisierung wesentlicher Einflussgrößen in Bezug auf erreichte Platinentemperaturen und Wirkungsgrade 7 Entwicklung eines FEM-Simulationsmodells der induktiven Erwärmung von Formplatinen 60 7.1 Geometrie 7.2 Elektromagnetisches Modul 7.3 Thermisches Modul 7.4 Vernetzung 7.5 Kopplung der Module 7.6 Validierung 8 Entwicklung eines Anlagenkonzepts zum Einsatz der induktiven Erwärmung für die Serienfertigung von Warmumformbauteilen 8.1 Methoden zur Definition von Betriebsparametern 8.2 Induktive Erwärmung von Formplatinen warmumgeformter Bauteile eines PKWs in Serienfertigung 8.3 Dünnblech-Warmumformung und Tailor-Rolled-Blanks 8.4 Entwicklung eines Prozessfensters auf Basis von im automobilen Fertigungsprozess relevanten Bauteileigenschaften 8.5 Konzeptionierung einer Erwärmungslinie für die Serienproduktion von warmumgeformten Karosseriebauteilen 9 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick 10 Literaturverzeichnis 11 Anlagen / The present thesis investigates the usage of longitudinal induction heating in the austenitization process of direct press hardening. In order to describe the induction heating procedure, experiment-based regression models as well as a FEM model are developed. The influence of an induction heating process on the properties of press hardened parts with aluminum-silicon coating is depicted. Therefore, resistance spot welding tests, paint adhesion tests and corrosion tests are performed. Finally, a heating concept for series production including a longitudinal induction heating is developed, which allows a decrease in heating time of about 50 % and a reduction of furnace length of about 37 %.:Kurzzeichenverzeichnis 1 Einleitung 2 Stand der Wissenschaft und Technik 2.1 Warmumformung 2.1.1 Begriffe und Einordnung 2.1.2 Werkstofftechnische Grundlagen der Warmumformung 2.1.3 Platinenwerkstoffe und -beschichtungen 2.1.4 Erwärmungstechnologien in der Serienproduktion 2.2 Induktive Erwärmung 2.2.1 Begriffe und Einordnung 2.2.2 Physikalische und werkstofftechnische Einflüsse 2.2.3 Induktive Erwärmung von Bandmaterial 2.2.4 Induktive Erwärmung von Formplatinen für die Warmumformung 3 Aktuelle und zukünftige technologische Anforderungen an die Erwärmungstechnik in der Warmumformung 4 Problemstellung 5 Versuchsanlage zur induktiven Erwärmung von Formplatinen 6 Entwicklung eines mathematischen, experimentbasierten Modells der induktiven Erwärmung von Rechteckplatinen 6.1 Systembeschreibung 6.2 Methode 6.3 Validierung 6.4 Charakterisierung wesentlicher Einflussgrößen in Bezug auf erreichte Platinentemperaturen und Wirkungsgrade 7 Entwicklung eines FEM-Simulationsmodells der induktiven Erwärmung von Formplatinen 60 7.1 Geometrie 7.2 Elektromagnetisches Modul 7.3 Thermisches Modul 7.4 Vernetzung 7.5 Kopplung der Module 7.6 Validierung 8 Entwicklung eines Anlagenkonzepts zum Einsatz der induktiven Erwärmung für die Serienfertigung von Warmumformbauteilen 8.1 Methoden zur Definition von Betriebsparametern 8.2 Induktive Erwärmung von Formplatinen warmumgeformter Bauteile eines PKWs in Serienfertigung 8.3 Dünnblech-Warmumformung und Tailor-Rolled-Blanks 8.4 Entwicklung eines Prozessfensters auf Basis von im automobilen Fertigungsprozess relevanten Bauteileigenschaften 8.5 Konzeptionierung einer Erwärmungslinie für die Serienproduktion von warmumgeformten Karosseriebauteilen 9 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick 10 Literaturverzeichnis 11 Anlagen

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Esta investigación parte de una base teórica que profundiza en la didáctica de la literatura en clases avanzadas de nivel universitario y en los contenidos literarios de “La chica de abajo” que pertenece a la colección de cuentos El balneario (1955) de la escritora española Carmen Martín Gaite. Para ello, se realiza una revisión de su vida y obra, así como de diferentes enfoques de aproximación al texto literario per se. La propuesta didáctica consiste en una unidad didáctica y un proyecto para estudiantes de honores que tienen como objetivo un acercamiento del alumnado a la sociedad franquista española de la década de los 50.

The central objective of this dissertation is to gain an understanding of the effect by the market within the household on a specific developmental initiative whose aim was poverty reduction. This dissertation analyses how individuals gain access to resources, and how they enforce their entitlements during the on-going implicit and explicit negotiations inherent in daily rural life. The research tested the suitability of several concepts previously untested in the southern African context. The concept of hearth-holds, proved valuable as a unit of analysis which recognizes the importance of female-directed social units. The relevance of the fall-back position in terms of locality of kin, as well as perceptions of legitimacy, were crucial in affecting how far they were willing to go and what they felt they could demand in everyday household bargaining situations. The deficiency of using romantic ideas of conjugal relations and equal opportunities to explain practice was apparent. Spouses strategise within the terms of their conjugal contracts, at times adhering to the dominant patriarchal bargain, at times covertly defying or overtly challenging it, and following another bargain. Placing women as the custodians of morality, works to the relative advantage of men by isolating women from accessing certain opportunities. Female heads of households, manage to legitimise their access to resources by virtue of being custodians of their children. Custodianship of cash funds, and the dominant decision making model used for resource related decisions in the household, clearly impacted on the relevance of different strategies in the bargaining process. The strategic entry points in this process of reduced transparency and violence were relevant in most households studied. The latter was effective in reinforcing and shaping the conjugal contract, despite in effect breaking it. Drinking facilitated this process by creating a temporary suspension of the rules. Concrete recommendations for developmental practitioners involve incorporating the hearth-hold concept and promoting the communal planning, budgeting and monitoring approach, as well as to specifically target individuals who need their intra-household bargaining power boosted. A clear policy on affirmative action in gate keeper roles, as well as gender disaggregated documentation of beneficiaries, should be institutionalised. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies)

Los receptores β-adrenérgicos (βAR) y de serotonina (5-HT4) median sus efectos en tejidos cardiacos a través de la ruta receptor-Gs-AC-AMPc. Las fosfodiesterasas (PDE) son una amplia familia de enzimas cuya función es la degradación del AMPc. Se desconocía que isoenzimas de PDEs son responsables de la hidrólisis de AMPc en las diferentes regiones cardiacas. El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es investigar que isoenzimas de PDEs tienen actividad en el miocardio humano, porcino y de roedores. Se han realizado estudios cronotrópicos, inotrópicos, lusitrópicos, bioquímicos y electrofisiológicos. Los principales resultados son: Las PDEs se comportan de manera distinta en las diferentes regiones cardiacas y compartimentos celulares; y La frecuencia basal de nódulo sinusal está controlada por PDEs pero en ninguna especie estudiada las PDEs controlan la taquicardia causada por los βARs y los receptores 5-HT4. La extrapolación de la función de las PDEs al humano debe h acerse con cautela. / Myocardial β-adrenoceptors (βAR) and serotonin receptors (5-HT4) mediate their signals through the receptor-Gs-AC-cAMP pathway. Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are a large enzyme family that degrade cAMP. It was unknown which PDE isoenzymes are responsible for the hydrolysis of the cAMP in different cardiac regions. The aim of this doctoral thesis is to investigate which isoenzymes have a role in human, porcine and rodent myocardium. We performed chronotropic, inotropic, lusitropic, biochemical and electrophysiological studies. The key results are: PDEs have different roles in different cardiac regions and cellular compartments; and the basal beating rate of the sinoatrial node is controlled by PDE3 and/or PDE4, but these PDEs do not limit the tachycardia mediated through the stimulation of β1AR, β2AR and 5-HT4. Given the diverse roles of PDE3 and PDE4 and their dependence on species, extrapolation to humans should be done cautiously because these animal models usually do not reflect the human myocardium.

The result of the work is the design and software implementation of the information-modeling system of the incendiary furnace of the sinter machine. In the course of the work, an analysis and formalization of the existing methodology for calculating the design of the incendiary hearth was made, on the basis of which the project of creating an information-modeling system was implemented. The system created as a result of the work makes it possible to carry out calculations of the sinter charge, solid fuel combustion, natural gas combustion, ignition periods, as well as the choice of burner devices and justification of the height of the hearth. The output of the main calculated indicators is provided in a table form with the ability to configure individual indicators and preview the report. Using the developed information system can significantly reduce time costs, increase the efficiency of new design processes and analyze the effectiveness of existing incendiary furnaces of sinter machines.
