Trabalharemos também com a tradução em imagens do nonsense em sua adaptação fílmica Alice in Wonderland (2010). Nessa perspectiva, o presente trabalho resulta de um estudo comparativo entre o filme e a obra na qual se baseia, o cânone da literatura infantil Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland de Lewis Carroll (1865). Para tanto, faremos um cotejo entre as duas obras à luz das teorias de Elizabeth Sewell (2015), Wim Tigges, (1988) e Susan Stewart (1980) que alicerçam o gênero literário nonsense. Lançaremos mão da versão literária Lewis Carroll: The Complete Fully Illustrated Works de 1995 da editora Gramercy, contendo toda a obra de Lewis Carroll com ilustrações originais. Isso, a fim de viabilizar e facilitar a comparação com as figuras presentes no texto literário, quando necessário, para investigar se houve aproximação na representação visual feita pelo diretor.

Também foi comparada a sensibilidade da PCR com as técnicas histológica e parasitológica na caracterização desta infecção utilizando amostras de tecidos e fezes, respectivamente. No primeiro artigo, o número de ovos por grama de fezes (OPG) foi determinado pela técnica de McMaster modificada e o DNA foi extraído para análise por PCR. Comparou-se a sensibilidade de ambos os métodos para o diagnóstico do parasita em fezes de ratos inoculados com 40, 400 e 4000 larvas infectantes (L3) e essas infecções foram consideradas leve, moderada e grave, respectivamente. Na PCR dois pares de primers foram empregados, um foi desenhado a partir da seqüência parcial de rDNA de S. venezuelensis e o outro, amplifica o rDNA de diversas espécies deste gênero. Nas amostras oriundas dos animais com infecção leve o primer específico não detectou DNA, já o primer gênero apresentou maior sensibilidade que a quantificação de OPG. No segundo artigo foi analisada a influência do sexo dos hospedeiros na suscetibilidade às infecções leve, moderada e pesada. Machos com infecção moderada e pesada apresentaram maior média de OPG e de número de parasitas recuperados do intestino delgado em comparação com as fêmeas, porém esse fenômeno não foi observado nas infecções leves. No terceiro artigo, os animais foram inoculados com 4000 L3 para a avaliação da dinâmica da infecção e caracterização da resposta imune durante as fases aguda e de recuperação. A dinâmica da infecção foi monitorada, diariamente, por OPG durante 32 dias. A infecção apresentou período pré-patente de seis dias e picos de eliminação de ovos no oitavo e no 11º dias. Ambos os anticorpos específicos IgG1 e IgG2b apresentar... / In the present study the dynamics of Strongyloides venezuelensis primary infection in Lewis rats, the host sex influence and its immune response were analyzed. We also compared the sensitivity between PCR, parasitological and histological techniques to characterize this infection using feces and tissue samples. In the first paper the number of eggs per gram of feces (EPG) using a McMaster modified technique was enumerated and DNA was extracted to do PCR analysis. Sensitivity of both methods to diagnosis the parasite in feces of rats inoculated with 40, 400 or 4000 infective larvae (L3) was compared. These infections were considered light, moderate and heavy, respectively. Two PCR primer pairs were employed, a specific one was designed from a S. venezuelensis rDNA partial sequence and the other one amplifies several species within this genus. In light infection, the specific primer did not detect DNA in any sample, in the other hand the genus primer presented higher sensitivity than EPG. The host sex influence in susceptibility to light, moderate and heavy infection was evaluated in the second experiment. The FEC means and the mean parasite infection intensity were higher in males than in females in animals with moderate and heavy infection. But this phenomenon was not observed in light infection. In the third paper, animals were inoculated with 4000 L3 to determine the kinetics infection and to characterize the immune response during acute and recovery phases. The kinetics of infection was daily measured by FEC during 32 days after infection. Parasite eggs were detected in the feces for the first time at day 6 post-infection, but the maximal egg number was observed at days 8 and 11 post-infection. Both IgG1 and IgG2b specific antibodies were elevated at the acute phase and there was a significant increase of IgG1 concentration in the recovery one. IgE and IL-10 also presented a high...

Na abordagem, utilizamos a ferramenta teórico-metodológica da semiótica discursiva. O objetivo aqui é investigar no campo relacional os efeitos dos sentidos que contribuem para a significação do objeto de arte e em que medida este colabora para a construção do discurso que o engloba. Pressupomos que os efeitos dos sentidos surgem da interação entre texto e contexto. Pretendemos demonstrar que o significado do objeto denominado artístico emerge das relações construídas no contexto em que este está ou foi inserido, bem como a maneira com que produz efeitos de sentidos, que cooperam para a construção do discurso curatorial. Por conta dessa acepção, focalizamos o tratamento da discursivização do texto plástico – Invention – para, dessa forma, alcançar seus desdobramentos significativos, bem como na iconização do texto plástico, para então colacionar os discursos, a obra e a exposição, buscando identificar as relações semânticas entre eles. Por fim, neste processo de contrapor os discursos, tentamos demonstrar a relação sintático semântica que emerge da interseção entre obra de arte e exposição para atingir o discurso. Percebemos que a obra Invention faz surgir paradigmas sociais, culturais e políticos inerentes à condição contemporânea, tal como percebido no discurso curatorial, além de atuar como ferramenta de manipulação deste. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This dissertation we present a reading about the art installation Invention by Mark Lewis, in the situational context of the 31st Bienal de São Paulo. In the present approach is the methodological-theoretical tool used is the discursive semiotics. The aim of this work is to investigate, through the art piece reading, the relational field and the effect of senses that contribute to its meaning and also to understand its contribution to the construction of speech that includes it – the exposition. An exchange is assumed – the exchange in which the effect of senses emerges from the interaction between the combination: text and context. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate that the meaning of the object called artistic emerges from the relations built within its context, as well as the way it produces effect of senses that contributes to the construction of the curatorial discourse. Because of this significance, the present work focuses, thence, on the treatment of the discursivization of the plastic text – Invention – to thus achieve its significant developments and the iconization plastic text, and then collate the speeches, the work and exposure in order to identify the relationships semantic between them. Finally, in the process of countering the speeches, we try to demonstrate the syntactic-semantic relationship that emerges from the intersection between artwork and exposure to achieve the speech. We realized that the Invention work raises social paradigms, cultural and political inherent to contemporary condition, as perceived in curatorial discourse, besides acting as a manipulation tool this.

The present dissertation presents an examination of the Carrollian logic through the reconstruction of its syllogistic theory. Lewis Carroll was one of the main responsible for the dissemination of logic during the nineteenth century, but most of his logical writings remained unknown until a posthumous publication of 1977. The reconstruction of the Carrollian syllogistic theory was based on the comparison of the two books on author's logic, "The Game of Logic" and "Symbolic Logic". The analysis of the Carrollian syllogistics starts from a study of the historical context of development of the logic and the developments of syllogistics previous to the contribution of the author. Situated in the historical period of algebraical logic, Carrollian syllogistics is characterized as a conservative extension of the Aristotelian syllogistics, the main innovation is the use of negative terms and the introduction of a diagrammatic method suitable for the representation of negative terms. The diagrammatic method of the Carrollian syllogistics presents advances in relation to the methods of Euler and Venn. The use of negative terms also requires a redefinition of the notion of syllogism, simplifying and expanding the amount of arguments amenable to logical treatment. Carroll does not use four, but only three categorical propositions in his syllogistic, with interpretation of existential presuppositions congruent with a syntactic-existential reading. Carrollian syllogistics uses some techniques found in the work of algebraists of logic and also made the same confusions between notions of "class" and "member" that were common in the period. Convinced of the social utility of logic and dedicated to popularize it, Carroll priorized a creation of new didactics for the teaching of logic in his works, where he can include his diagrammatic method of solving syllogisms. Carroll made only scant considerations of his conception of logic. Based on the small considerations found throughout the study and on the constant claim of the social utility of logic, it is suggested that Carroll is close to the so-called pragmatic position, which considers a logic as an instrument of regulation of discourse. / A presente dissertação apresenta um exame da lógica carrolliana através da reconstrução de sua teoria silogística. Lewis Carroll foi um dos principais responsáveis pela divulgação da lógica durante o século XIX, mas grande parte de seus escritos lógicos permaneceram desconhecidos até uma publicação póstuma de 1977 e ainda são objeto de poucos estudos. A reconstrução da teoria silogística carrolliana se deu pelo cotejamento dos dois livros sobre lógica do autor, a saber, “The Game of Logic” e “Symbolic Logic”. A análise da silogistica carrolliana parte de um estudo do contexto histórico de desenvolvimento da lógica no qual as obras se situam e dos desenvolvimentos da silogística anteriores ao aporte do autor. Situado no período histórico da álgebra da lógica, a silogística carrolliana caracteriza-se como uma extensão conservativa da silogística aristotélica, cuja principal inovação consiste no uso de termos negativos e na introdução de um método diagramático de resolução de silogismos adequado à representação destes termos. O método diagramático da silogística carrolliana apresenta avanços em relação aos métodos de Euler e Venn. O uso de termos negativos também exigiu do autor uma redefinição da noção de silogismo, simplificando-a e expandido a quantidade de argumentos passíveis de tratamento lógico. Carroll não utiliza quatro, mas apenas três proposições categóricas em sua silogística; com uma interpretação dos pressupostos existenciais congruente com a leitura sintático-existencial. A silogística carrolliana utiliza algumas técnicas similares àquelas encontradas no trabalho de algebristas da lógica que lhe foram contemporâneos e, enquanto um lógico de seu tempo, também cometeu as mesmas confusões entre as noções de “classe” e “membro” que eram comuns no período. Convicto da utilidade social da lógica e dedicado a popularizá-la, Carroll priorizou a criação de novas didáticas para o ensino da lógica em seus trabalhos, onde pode-se incluir o seu método diagramático de resolução de silogismos, originalmente apresentado como um jogo de peças. Carroll fez apenas escassas considerações acerca de sua concepção de lógica. Baseado nas pequenas considerações encontradas ao longo do estudo e na constante reivindicação da utilidade social da lógica, sugere-se que Carroll estaria próximo da posição atualmente chamada de pragmática, que considera a lógica como um instrumento de regulamentação do discurso.

Ph.D. / The work described in this thesis was directed at advancing the applications of Al(OTf)3, a metal triflate, in organic synthesis. Lewis acids play an important role in catalysis and catalyse reactions with high selectivities, unique reactivities under mild conditions. Metal triflates have become the Lewis acids of choice for acid catalysed organic transformations. A detailed literature study of metal triflates provided numerous examples of their use in organic transformations. Al(OTf)3 has been widely neglected as a Lewis acid which is contrasting to the attention the other metal triflates have received. Previous work in our laboratories had established Al(OTf)3 as an effective Lewis acid catalyst for the ring-opening of epoxides with simple alcohols and amines. The alcoholysis of epoxides provides a ready access to β-alkoxy alcohols. Whilst this reaction has been shown to occur with Al(OTf)3 as a catalyst, the established protocol calls for the use of the nucleophilic alcohol in an excess amount. Whilst this proves no problem when simple alcohols are employed as nucleophiles in the ring-opening reaction, it is a problem when more complex and expensive alcoholic nucleophiles are utilised. A modified procedure utilising Al(OTf)3 as a catalyst was developed which tolerates the use of only 1 equivalent of the nucleophilic alcohol for the ring opening reaction. The desymmetrisation of a meso-epoxide with chiral alcoholic nucleophiles was also investigated and the outcome of the diastereoselectivity of the reaction reported. The aminolysis of epoxides has been established utilising Al(OTf)3 as the Lewis acid catalyst. However, this has only been demonstrated for the ring opening of simple epoxides with simple amines. Piperazine derived β-amino alcohols with known biological activity were chosen as substrates with which to test the Al(OTf)3 catalysed aminolysis of epoxides in the synthesis of more complex β-amino alcohols. The various starting epoxides and amine nucleophiles were synthesised. During which a new approach towards the synthesis of - glycidyl amines was developed utilising a two step approach with the first step being catalysed by Al(OTf)3. It was also found that the optimal method for forming the β-amino alcohol bond was one in which the glycidyl motif was placed on the less basic heteroatom and ring opened by the more nucleophilic piperazine amine.

Master of Landscape Architecture / Department of Landscape Architecture/Regional and Community Planning / Mary C. Kingery-Page / Chester I. Lewis Reflection Square Park is an urban park located on Douglas Avenue within the downtown area of Wichita, Kansas. The Chester I. Lewis Park is a site the city is interested in improving, but no current plans or budget are available. The park has faced issues including a stigma regarding use by the homeless population, vandalism, lack of use by the broader public, and deterioration. Chester I. Lewis was a civil rights lawyer in Wichita, Kansas. One of his cases dealt with the Dockum Drugstore Sit-in, the first successful sit-in of the civil rights movement, which will soon have a new sculpture memorial dedicated a block away from the park. The overall project goal for the downtown park commemorating Lewis’s legacy is to develop a site that will address the current issues with the park and create a connection with the newly developed memorial, all while strengthening the expression of Lewis’s significance as a civil rights leader who championed social integration. The project should develop a sense of place within the community and connect visitors to Wichita’s legacy in the civil rights movement. Methods used by the researcher to build a framework for design consist of archival research into the history of civil rights in Wichita, precedent studies focused on memorials and designing for the homeless, participant observation, a public exhibit with community feedback, and lastly interviews with advocates for the homeless, and living members of the Sit-In. The proposed design for Chester I. Lewis Park demonstrates that it is possible to provide a variety of uses within the park that benefit everyone, including unhoused people who use the park. This site can provide a new outlook for designing inclusively and seeking to remove the stigma that faces the homeless population in Wichita and provide a replicable example of how cities should plan for the homeless in park design.
