[pt] O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a implementação e avaliação de um modelo constitutivo para solos reforçados com fibra (compósito). A principal característica do modelo constitutivo implementado é que cada material (matriz de solo e fibra) segue sua própria lei constitutiva e ao mesmo tempo interagem entre si. Utilizando um algoritmo explícito, são implementados os modelos Cam Clay Modificado e Lade-Kim para a matriz de solo, cuja verificação é feita mediante o programa PLAXIS 2D e curvas tensão-deformação obtidas da literatura, respectivamente. Posteriormente, é adicionado o comportamento da fibra no desenvolvimento das tensões no compósito e verificado mediante a comparação das curvas tensão-deformação com as apresentadas por Diambra et al. (2013). As linguagens de programação utilizadas neste trabalho foram duas, a primeira é a utilizada no programa MATLAB, onde os códigos dos modelos são verificados e validados em relação à um conjunto de ensaios triaxiais de areia reforçada com fibra. Posteriormente foi usada a linguagem de programação FORTRAN para incluir o modelo constitutivo para solo reforçado com fibras no programa de elementos finitos ABAQUS, através da sub-rotina UMAT. Porém, para a implementação na sub-rotina UMAT os códigos dos modelos implementados no MATLAB sofrem algumas modificações com a finalidade de que o ABAQUS consiga compilar e representar adequadamento o comportamento do modelo constitutivo, mediante a correta utilização de vetores e propriedades desta. Finalmente, são modelados ensaios triaxiais drenados para verificar que a implementação mediante a sub-rotina UMAT é satisfatória. / [en] The present work aims to implement and evaluate a constitutive model for fiber-reinforced soils (composite). The main characteristic of the constitutive model implemented is that each material (soil and fiber matrix) follows its own constitutive law and at the same time interact with each other. Using an explicit algorithm, the Cam Clay Modified and Lade-Kim models are implemented for the soil matrix, verified by the PLAXIS 2D software and stress-strain curves obtained from the literature, respectively. Later, it is included the behavior of the fiber in the development of the stresses in the composite and verified by the comparison of the stress-strain curves with those presented by Diambra et al. (2013). The programming languages used in this work were two, the first one is the one used in the MATLAB program, where the codes of the models are verified and validated in relation to a set of triaxial tests of fiber-reinforced sands. Later the programming language was converted into FORTRAN to include the constitutive model for fiber reinforced soil in the ABAQUS finite element software, through the UMAT subroutine. However, for the implementation in the UMAT subroutine the codes of the models implemented in MATLAB undergo some modifications in order that ABAQUS can compile and represent adequately the behavior of the constitutive model through the correct use of vectors and its properties. Finally, drained triaxial tests are modeled to verify that the implementation through the UMAT subroutine is satisfactory.

This written thesis unpacks the thoughts and motivations behind the decisions I have made in my artistic practice that have ultimately culminated in my M.F.A. Thesis Exhibition: Sub for More. By merging images of my own work as well as internet sourced images of the culture that drives my work, I have created a platform to begin to understand my experience during graduate school. This text examines and explores my belief in the inherent power in pop culture, my obsession with fame, celebrity, and my self-identity as a participant in current pop-culture.

Orientador: Norma Sueli Pinheiro Modolo / Resumo: Justificativa: Durante lesão de isquemia e reperfusão renal ocorre a inativação de óxido nítrico (NO), essa inativação diminui o relaxamento arterial endotélio-dependente e independente. O aumento nos níveis de NO poderia melhorar a disfunção endotelial e o relaxamento arterial diminuindo a lesão renal. O NO, sintetizado a partir da L-arginina pela enzima óxido nítrico sintase (NOS), parece exercer um efeito protetor sobre os rins durante a lesão de isquemia/reperfusão (I/R). O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o efeito da L-arginina nos níveis dos biomarcadores de lesão (NGALp, NGALu, KIM-1 e IL-18) na função e na histopatologia renal em ratos submetidos a lesão de I/R.Métodos: 32 ratos Wistar foram randomizados em 4 grupos: Sham (S): Laparotomia e nefrectomia direita.

The purpose of our study was to examine how the newspaper Aftonbladet reported about the murder of Kim Wall. The questions in focus were; how are Kim Wall and Peter Madsen being represented in Aftonbladet? And how are the representation of them changing throughout time? In the study we have made a discourse analysis where eleven news articles were analysed. The result is presented in themes of discourses constructed of Wall and Madsen in Aftonbladet. Our results showed that Kim Wall was represented as a helpless woman, a brave journalist and an invisible individual. Peter Madsen was represented as a talented inventor, a cold-hearted monster and a crazy man. The results also showed that the tabloid journalism Aftonbladet had about the murder of Kim Wall were in a sensational and detailed way.

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o efeito da L-arginina nos níveis dos biomarcadores de lesão (NGALp, NGALu, KIM-1 e IL-18) na função e na histopatologia renal em ratos submetidos a lesão de I/R. Métodos: 32 ratos Wistar foram randomizados em 4 grupos: Sham (S): Laparotomia e nefrectomia direita. Controle (C): Laparotomia e nefrectomia direita, I/R em rim esquerdo. Controle L-arginina (CLA): Laparotomia e nefrectomia direita, L-arginina na dose de 800mg.kg-1.dose-1, 24 e 1 hora antes. L-arginina (LA): Laparotomia e nefrectomia direita, I/R em rim esquerdo, L-arginina na dose de 800mg.kg-1.dose-1, 24 e 1 hora antes. Foram analisados os níveis de NGALp, NGALu, KIM-1 e IL-18, creatinina e histopatologia renal. Nível de significância: p<0,05. Resultados: Creatinina aumenta em todos os grupos com LA≈C>S≈CLA. A NGALp, aumenta em todos os grupos com evolução semelhante. A NGALu foi maior no grupo C e CLA em relação ao grupo LA e apresentou valores intermediários no grupo S. Os níveis de KIM-1 aumentam nos grupos S, CLA e LA, porém na análise de contrastes não há diferença na evolução dos grupos. A IL-18 apresentou valores maiores no grupo LA comparado aos demais grupos (C, S e CLA). Os grupos C e LA apresentaram grau de lesão no lado esquerdo maior que os grupos S e CLA. Não existe diferença histopatológica entre C e LA e nem entre S e CLA. Conclusão: A L-arginina não exerce efeito protetor ou danoso aos rins submetidos a lesão de I/R na avaliação da função, da histopatologia renal e dos níveis de NGALp, KIM-1 / Background: Nitric oxide (NO) inactivation occurs during renal ischaemia/reperfusion injury. This inactivation decreases endothelium-dependent and -independent arterial relaxation. Higher NO levels can improve endothelial dysfunction and arterial relaxation, thereby reducing the level of kidney injury. NO, synthesized from L-arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS), seems to exerts a protective effect on the kidneys during tissue ischemia-reperfusion injury. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of L-arginine on the levels of injury biomarkers (pNGAL, uNGAL, KIM-1 e IL-18) for kidney function and histology in rats subjected ischaemiareperfusion injury. Methods: Thirty-two Wistar rats were randomised into the following 4 groups: Sham (S), laparotomy and right nephrectomy; Control (C), laparotomy and right nephrectomy and left kidney I/R; L-arginine control (LAC), laparotomy and right nephrectomy and L-arginine at a dose of 800 mg.kg-1 .dose-1 , 24 hours and 1 hour before surgery; and L-arginine (LA), laparotomy and right nephrectomy, left kidney I/R, and L-arginine at a dose of 800 mg.kg -1 .dose-1 , 24 hours and 1 hour before surgery. The pNGAL, uNGAL, KIM-1 e IL-18 and creatinine levels and kidney histopathology were analysed. The significance level was p < 0.05. Results: Creatinine was increased in all groups, with LA≈C>S≈LAC. pNGAL was increased in all groups and showed a similar trend. uNGAL levels were higher in groups C and LAC than LA and had intermediate values in group S. The KIM-1 levels were increased in the S, LAC and LA groups, but the contrast analysis revealed no differences between the groups in terms of their trends. IL-18 levels were higher in LA than in the other groups (C, S and LAC). The C and LA groups, compared with the S and LAC groups, had higher damage on the left side. There was no histopathological difference between C and LA or between S and LAC. Conclusion: L-arginine does not exert a damaging or protective effect on kidneys undergoing I/R injury based on the evaluation of kidney functions, histopathology and pNGAL and KIM-1 levels. / FAPESP: 2012/13603-2

The aim of this bachelor study was to examine how the conflict between USA and North Korea is framed by the swedish newspaper Aftonbladet and if there was a change in their use of frames after Donald Trump got inaugurated as president of The United States.   By using framing analysis we identified three different frames, “The dictatorship as a threat against world peace”, “The careless leader” and “The incompetent leader”.   We could then with a quantitative approach examine how often these frames was used by Aftonbladet and if there was a change after Donald Trump got inaugurated as president.   These were the questions examined: Which frames of the conflict between North Korea and USA are used in Aftonbladet and how often are they used? Is there any difference in which frames is used after Donald Trump became president of The United States?   We read 131 news articles from Aftonbladet which focused on the conflict. The period spanned from 2013-01-01 to 2017-12-07.   We found that the most commonly used frame was “The dictatorship as a threat against world peace” and we could also see that after Donald Trump became president a new frame emerged, “The careless leader”.

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur Kim Kardashian West porträtterar sig själv i sina selfies och porträtt på sitt Instagramkonto. Fokus ligger på att undersöka detta utifrån maktaxlarna kön och sexualitet och hur hon iscensätter dessa i sina bilder. En av frågeställningarna som uppsatsen syftar till att besvara är hur hennes selfies och porträtt kan tolkas i relation till femininitet, sexualitet, kropp och makt. En annan frågeställning syftar till att besvara huruvida selfien som fenomen är sexistisk och objektifierande, eller om den är ett uttryck för självbestämmande över ens kropp. Materialet som används för att besvara frågeställningarna är fyra bilder som Kim Kardashian West har lagt upp på sitt Instagramkonto. Två av dessa är selfies och två är porträtt. Tre av bilderna föreställer Kim Kardashian West lättklädd och sexuellt poserande. En av bilderna porträtterar henne i ett entreprenörssammanhang. Uppsatsen utgår från flera teoretiska ramverk, exempelvis Erikssons och Göthlunds redogörelse för teoribildningen om hur kvinnokroppen har porträtterats genom tiderna och Mulveys teori om ”the male gaze”. Vidare redogör uppsatsen för tidigare forskning om bland annat selfies och porträtt och vikten av att ha ett personligt varumärke i en tid av medialisering och kändiskultur. Analysen baseras på en semiotisk bildanalys uppdelad i två olika nivåer, denotativ och konnotativ, på alla fyra bilder. Efter analysen följer en avslutande diskussion som återkopplar till frågeställningarna och drar slutsatser kring dessa. Resultatet pekar på att selfien är ett komplext fenomen. Trots att Kim Kardashian Wests selfies ofta anspelar heteronormativa ideal kring sexualitet och den kvinnliga kroppen, så kan selfien likväl tolkas som ett uttryck för självbestämmande som ett uttryck för sexism och objektifiering. Nyckelord: Kim Kardashian West, Instagram, selfie, sociala medier, kändiskultur, the male gaze, kvinnokroppen, femininitet, performativitet, objektifiering.

Den grafiska romanen Alena analyseras i denna uppsats med fokus på tematiken  psykiskt försvar. En intermedial metod används för att studera hur bild och text kommunicerar denna tematik. Uppsatsens frågeställning är -     Hur gestaltas psykets försvar i text respektive bild i Kim W. Anderssons Alena? Uppsatsen baseras på jagpsykologisk teori för förklarandet av psykisk försvarsmekanik. Den psykologiska teorin kopplas till den intermediala analysen av basmediernas samverkan och klargör hur de kommunicerar psykiskt försvar. Resultatet av uppsatsen visar att det är genom kommunikationen mellan bilden och texten som den psykologiska aspekten utläses. I vissa fall tyds tematiken genom expanderande förhållande mellan basmedierna, där de vidare förklarar varandras uttryck och skapar en större möjlighet till psykologiska tolkningar. I andra fall är det ett kontrapunktiskt förhållande mellan medierna som möjliggör utläsning av exempelvis ontologiska skikt. De ontologiska skikten visar på alternativa ”sanningar” och upplevelser, som inte uttrycks konkret i diegesen. Resultaten tydliggör det opålitliga berättarperspektivet som verket präglas av. Läsaren möts flera gånger av olika utsagor och motsägande skuldbeläggning.  Genom tydliggörande av verkets psykologiska prägel skapas en förståelse för berättelsens ifrågasättande av sig själv.

Gemäß der Gefährdungsbeurteilung sind die Arbeitsplätze hinsichtlich ihrer Gefährdungsfaktoren zu bewerten. Bestandteil dessen ist ebenso die Beurteilung der physischen Belastungen. Diese können auf unterschiedliche Weise erfasst werden. In der betrieblichen Praxis werden sehr oft die Leitmerkmalmethoden (LMM) zur Beurteilung der physischen Belastung angewendet. Im Zuge des MEGAPHYS Projekts wurden bestehende LMM überarbeitet sowie neue LMM zur Erfassung weiterer Arbeitsprozesse entwickelt. Im Verlauf der vorliegenden Masterthesis wurden die physischen Belastungen in den Arbeitsbereichen des Entladens und Beladens beispielhaft mit Hilfe der LMM ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine hohe biomechanische Belastung in bei den Arbeitsbereichen vorhanden ist. Das subjektive Empfinden der Mitarbeiter wurde anhand eines selbst entwickelten Fragebogens ermittelt. Die körperlichen Beschwerden und das Empfinden hinsichtlich der Arbeitsorganisation standen im Mittelpunkt dieser Erhebung. Anschließend wurden Maßnahmen, die zu einer Reduktion der physischen Belastung führen, abgeleitet. Hierfür wurde ein Katalog an möglichen Maßnahmen entwickelt, welcher der Geschäftsleitung vorgestellt werden kann. Zum Abschluss wurde eine Verfahrensanweisung für das Erstellen der LMM für den Entlader und Belader erstellt. Anhand dieser sollen die Fachkräfte für Arbeitssicherheit bei zukünftig die örtlichen Erhebungen der physischen Belastung mit Hilfe der LMM selbstständig durchführen. Hierfür wurde zugleich eine LMM Multi E erstellt, anhand welcher mehr als 24 Teiltätigkeiten einer Belastungsart erfasst und automatisch berechnet werden. / Based on the concept of risk assessment, workplaces are to be evaluated concerning existing risk factors. This also includes the assessment of physical strain. Physical strain can be made measurable in different ways. In operational practice, the Key Indactor Method (KIM) is very often used to assess physical strain. Within the scope of the MEGAPHYS project, existing KIMs were revised and new KIMs developed to record additional work processes. The physical strains pertaining to unloading and loading tasks were determined based on the KIM. The results show that a high biomechanical strain is present in both work areas. The subjective feeling of the employees was assessed using a self-developed questionnaire. The physical complaints and the perception regarding the established work procedures were the focus of this survey. Subsequently, measures leading to a reduction in physical strain were derived from the results of the study. To limit the effects of physical strain, a catalog of possible measures to be presented to the management was developed. Finally, handling instructions were drawn up for the preparation of the KIM for unloading and loading tasks. Based on these instructions, the occupational safety specialists at are to independently carry out local surveys examining physical strain with the help of the KIM. A KIM Multi E was compiled for this purpose, where more than 24 partial activities of a loading task type were recorded and automatically calculated.
