Esta pesquisa se dedica à investigação dos modos de invenção em arte que utilizam como base da sua construção a materialidade técnica e tecnológica. Partimos de uma pesquisa-ação, que teve como objetivo principal o desenvolvimento de metodologias possíveis para a inserção de conteúdos relacionados à cena intermedial na formação de docentes de teatro. Sistematizamos um estudo de caso alicerçado em duas produções artísticas contemporâneas: Shary Boyle e Collectif Lebovitz. Nos aproximamos de seus processos criativos com o maquínico, destacando em seus modos de agir a elaboração de uma mentalidade técnica associada ao conhecimento das etapas de concretização dos aparelhos, ciclos de invenção e modulações criativas pertinentes aos processos em grupo. Em paralelo empreendemos cursos de extensão voltados para alunos das Licenciaturas em Teatro das universidades UFMA e UFRGS, com o intuito de experimentarmos modos de encenar e apreciar a cena intermedial, partindo de uma perspectiva ética/ estética, deslocando-nos da primazia humanista ou tecnicista para uma uma ênfase sobre a correlação dos processos de individuação entre homem e máquina. A referida mudança de perspectiva, no contexto desta investigação, gerou a construção da disciplina Laboratório de Arte, Tecnologia e Educação, componente curricular obrigatório do Curso de Licenciatura em Teatro da UFMA, que pretende atuar como rearticulador de uma mentalidade técnica, voltada para o ensino e apreciação da Cena Intermedial nos contextos formativos das Licenciaturas em Teatro no Brasil. / This research is dedicated to investigates ways of the invention in art; that uses as a basis for this construction, the technical and technological materiality. We start from an action research, which aimed to develop possible methodologies for the inclusion of content related to the intermedial scene, in the formation of drama teachers. We systematized a study of case, starting from two contemporary art productions: Shary Boyle and Colecttif Lebovitz. We approached from their creative processes with the machinic, highlighting in his ways, the development of a technical mentality associated with knowledge of the stages of concretization of the device, invention cycles, and relevant creative modulations to processes in a group. In parallel, we organized extension courses for Undergraduate Drama Teachers of UFMA and UFRGS universities, to experience ways to stage and appreciate the intermedial scene, starting from an ethical/aesthetic perspective, shifting the humanist or technicalities primacy, for a correlation to the individuation process between man and machine. That change of perspective, in the context of this investigation, led to the construction of the discipline Laboratory of Art, Technology and Education. This compulsory curricular component in the UFMA degree in theater acts as an articulator of technical mentality, focused on teaching and appreciation of Intermedial scene in the formative context of undergraduate drama teachers in Brazil.

Um dos motivos do baixo desempenho dos animais está em falhas durante o processo de colostragem, pois ele pode apresentar baixa qualidade nutricional e microbiológica. Após esta fase inicial de vida, o desempenho das bezerras sofre influência direta do manipulador. Na intenção de identificar pontos falhos no processo de criação de bezerras, objetivou-se caracterizar o manejo destes animais, através do levantamento das principais práticas zootécnicas adotadas, avaliar a composição nutricional e microbiológica do colostro fornecido aos recém nascidos e as características do tratador de bezerras. Para caracterizar os sistema de criação de bezerras realizou-se uma entrevista com 179 produtores e/ou técnicos, abordando questões relacionadas a criação de bezerras, desde o manejo da vaca seca até o desaleitamento. Para caracterizar o colostro, foram colhidas 66 amostras, diretamente da ordenha de vacas recém-paridas ou do banco de colostro, com as quais realizaram-se análises bromatológicas e microbiológicas. A avaliação da atitude dos tratadores de bezerras foi realizada através de uma entrevista com 100 tratadores, a qual permitiu colher dados de auto-relatos do responsável pela criação de bezerras. A entrevista foi conduzida com base em questionário semi-estruturado, aplicado por um único entrevistador e direcionado ao tratador de bezerras. Os itens de atitude foram medidos e classificados de acordo com a resposta do entrevistado em uma escala de cinco pontos (Escala de Likert). Através do levantamento foi possível identificar pontos de melhoria na criação de bezerras, principalmente com as vacas pré-parto e acompanhamento dos partos, além de um melhor cuidado com o processo de colostragem desde a identificação da qualidade do colostro até o momento correto de oferecer o alimento ao recém-nascido. Práticas de manejo direcionadas a obtenção de colostro de boa qualidade devem ser priorizadas, além de cuidados com a higienização da colheita e armazenamento do mesmo, pois apenas 22,6% das amostras de colostro atendem a recomendação de qualidade nutricional e microbiológica. Assim, grande parte dos bezerros nesta população estudada está propensa a apresentar falhas na transferência de imunidade passiva e exposta a patógenos quando alimentados com colostro materno. Para algumas variáveis o tratador tem uma atitude positiva, porém na prática o comportamento realizado nem sempre é o mesmo. É possível que os tratadores de bezerras tenham componentes afetivos e cognitivos positivos, ou seja, já tiveram experiência anterior de sucesso com as práticas ou ainda, conhecem a importância técnica das principais ações na criação. Porém, o componente comportamental sobressai sobre algumas ações, levando-os a uma divergência entre a atitude e o comportamento. Programas voltados para educação, treinamento e fortalecimento do comprometimento dos colaboradores é um caminho interessante na tentativa de reduzir as falhas na criação de bezerras. / One cause of the low dairy calves performance is related to failures during colostrum feeding process, because it may have low nutritional and microbiological quality. After this initial period of life, the dairy calves performance is under direct influence of the handler. In an attempt to identify weak points in the dairy calves raising systems the study aimed to characterize the dairy calves management, through a survey of the main husbandry adopted practices, assess the nutritional and microbiological composition of colostrum and the calves handler attitude. To characterize the dairy calves raising system an interview with 179 producers and / or field technicians, addressing issues related to creation of calves from the dry cow management until weaning, was held. To characterize colostrum quality, 66 samples were collected directly from recently calved cows or colostrum bank, for chemical and microbiological analyzes. The evaluation of the attitude of calves handlers was conducted by interviewing 100 handlers, which allowed the collection of self-reported data. The interview was conducted based on a semi-structured questionnaire applied by a single interviewer and directed to calves handler. The items of attitude were measured and ranked according to the handler\'s response on a five point scale (Likert scale). Through the survey it was possible to identify areas for improvement in the dairy calves system of production, especially with pre-partum cows and monitoring of deliveries, and better care with the colostrum feeding process as to identifying the quality of colostrum to the correct feeding time for the newborn. Management practices aimed to obtain good quality colostrum must be priorities besides, care with sanitation during the harvest and storage of the same, since only 22.6% of colostrum samples meet the recommendation of nutritional and microbiological quality. Thus, most of the calves in the studied population are likely to present failures in the transfer of passive immunity and exposed to pathogens when fed colostrum. For some variables the handler has a positive attitude, but in practice the behavior performed is not always the same. It is possible that the calves handlers have positive affective and cognitive components, in other words, have had previous experience of successful practices or even know the technical importance of the main practices in dairy calves raising. However, the behavioral component stands on some actions, leading them to a divergence between the attitude and behavior. Programs for education, training and commitment of employees are an interesting way to reduce the low performance of dairy calves.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Este estudo propÃe-se ao exame de cordÃis de metamorfose a fim de identificar resÃduos da mentalidade medieval acerca do pecado e da puniÃÃo no imaginÃrio retratado pelos poetas populares nordestinos. A ideia de pecado nos foi legada como uma transgressÃo das leis divinas e, durante a Idade MÃdia, essa concepÃÃo foi difundida pela Igreja como forma de combater os vÃcios, quase sempre ligados aos pecados capitais, e de disciplinar as condutas a serem seguidas pelos cristÃos. Embora muitos sÃculos nos separem da Idade MÃdia, a mentalidade cristÃ-medieval ainda encontra-se bastante arraigada em nossa cultura. Portanto, nesta pesquisa, apresentamos uma anÃlise da noÃÃo de pecado, e de suas possÃveis implicaÃÃes, dentro do contexto medieval, com o propÃsito de demonstrarmos a presenÃa residual dessa matÃria na literatura de cordel, uma das representantes da cultura popular, a partir da verificaÃÃo de folhetos que narram histÃrias de personagens transgressores de preceitos morais e/ou religiosos e, por isso, transfigurados em animais como meio de puniÃÃo. Desse modo, os cordÃis analisados trazem a metamorfose corporal enquanto penalidade, meio de exclusÃo social que assevera a permanÃncia de uma visÃo de mundo medieva que, durante muito tempo, distinguiu e alijou minorias consideradas desviantes do convÃvio normal em sociedade. Para compreendermos como tal mentalidade sobre o pecado e suas consequÃncias sobrevivem no trabalho poÃtico do cordelista nordestino e, portanto, no imaginÃrio popular, lanÃamos mÃo da Teoria da Residualidade, segundo a qual os resÃduos de um tempo passado remanescem em outras culturas e noutros tempos, aporte que nos autoriza a falar de uma heranÃa residual, isto Ã, de sedimentos mentais e culturais que permaneceram cristalizados no imaginÃrio retratado pelos poetas populares. AlÃm disso, contamos com os estudos realizados por medievalistas a fim de compreendermos melhor o perÃodo analisado, mormente a baixa Idade MÃdia. A literatura popular Ã, assim, ponto de partida para um estudo multidisciplinar e comparativo, na medida em que dialoga com textos de teor literÃrio, bem como histÃricos, pois revisita obras relevantes da literatura, do mesmo modo que revela o substrato mental encontrÃvel nas formaÃÃes sociais da Idade MÃdia e o da cultura nordestina residual que nos remete ao imaginÃrio hibridado a partir do medievo. / This study intends to analyze some popular narrative poems known in Brazil as âCordeis de Metamorfoseâ in order to identify residues of medieval mentality regarding sin and punishment in the imagery portrayed by popular poets from northeast Brazil. The idea of sin was transmitted to us as a transgression of divine laws. In the Middle Ages, this conception was propagated by Catholic Church as a way of combating vices, almost always with regard to capital sins, and of disciplining the conduct of Christians. Although many centuries separate us from the Middle Ages, the Christian medieval mentality is still fairly entrenched in our culture. Therefore, in this work, we present an analysis of the notion of sin and its possible implications in the medieval context with the aim of demonstrating the residual presence of that matter in Cordel Literature, a kind of artistic popular manifestation. We show this presence from the research of those popular narrative poems that tell stories in which some characters transgress moral and/or religious principles and, for this reason, are transfigured into animals as punishment. Therefore, in the poems we analyzed, physical metamorphosis is considered a punishment, a mean of social exclusion that asserts the permanence of a medieval worldview. For a long time, this view distinguished and ignored minorities that were seen as individuals without good social practices. In order to understand how such mentality about sin and its consequences are present in the poetic work of the popular poets from northeast Brazil and, therefore, in the popular imagery, we make use of the Theory of Residuality. According to this theory, residues from the past and from an ancient culture remain in other cultures and in other times, which allow us to talk about residual heritage, in other words, there are cultural and mental sediments crystallized in the imagery portrayed by popular poets. Furthermore, we rely on studies of medievalists in order to understand better the Middle Ages, mainly the Late Middle Ages. Thus, popular literature is the starting point of a multidisciplinary and comparative study, as far as it interacts with other types of literary texts, as well as historiographic texts. It revisits important works of literature in the same way it reveals the mental subtract of the medieval social formations and of the residual culture of northeast Brazil that brings us to the imagery hybridized from the Middle Ages.

Dealing with the subject of multiculturalism, this dissertation thesis investigates the elements of Japanese, Korean, and American national mentalities in the management of companies located in the Czech Republic. The main goal of this thesis is to identify these elements in corporate culture, find out, which of them lead to the most conflict situations, and suggest procedures to identify and eliminate resulting problems. On a more general level, this thesis provides basic characteristics of business environment and the approaches of world philosophers, anthropologists and sociologists. This thesis further identifies specific multicultural elements in organizations, and suggests its own model of multicultural corporate identity and a model for the identification of conditions that, when fulfilled, lead to strong corporate identity. This thesis also characterizes Czech cultural environment and compares it with that of Japan, Korea and the USA, based on surveys of well recognized Czech sociologists. The main emphasis of this thesis lies on the examination of corporate identity of American, Japanese, and Korean management. Based on a questionnaire survey, four major conflict areas of investigated cultures are identified. These are different opportunities within the company, non-economic use of time, the way of managing company meetings, and the way individual work is presented. In the last section of the thesis, possible solutions to these conflicts situations are provided.

Diploma thesis "The collapses of distant worlds" deals with interpretations of the conquista of Mexico and Peru (i.e. the conquests of Aztec and Inca empires). The basic question, which all the works considering the conquista deal with, is: how could the arrival of small groups of Spanish conquerors disrupt great Indian empires in such a short time? My thesis has two main goals: to define the typology of interpretations of the conquista and offer my own interpretation which places emphasis on the role of mentalities and cultural complexes. I have distinguished four basic types of interpretations of the conquista: 1. the metaphysical ones; 2. the technological ones; 3. the environmental ones; 4. the mentalistic ones. I used the conception of mentalities (derived from the work of Lucien Lévy-Bruhl) and the system conception of cultur, where I worked with the term "cultural complex" especially. After my approach the conquista represented the clash between two different types of mentalities: the archaic one (which Indian societies featured) and the literary one (which was developed in European societies). Differences in mentalities and cultural complexes provided advantages to the Spaniards in their struggles with the Aztecs and the Incas. So finally the Spanish conquest of Indian empires is...

Since 2008 with the Russo-Georgian war we observe the gradual deterioration of relations between Russia and the European Union which achieves its apogee during the Ukrainian crisis and the annexation of Crimea. The cultural approach is to be applied for understanding and exploration of the conflict: its reasons and mechanism. The work is aimed to define conflicting beliefs and values, considering them on a cultural basis. The current escalation of relationships is reviewed as a cultural conflict, the author claims different mentality as one of the influential factors and possible dimensions of conflict analysis. This work also points out internal cultural mechanisms and features provoking aggressive external policy and considers cultural identity as a container of ideas which justify and originate opposition and conflict with other cultures. This work is an attempt to introduce a concept of an individual's mentality, to link personal and group mentality and find out how cultural meaning content influences on formation of a personal mindset - a system of personal beliefs and values. Research part consists of preliminary comparative questionnaire-based survey with 30 respondents, secondary analysis of World Value Survey, and 10 depth interviews based on 3 survey questions, analyzed by means of mental...

Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka vilka historiska händelser och begrepp som är det samlande kittet för ungdomars svenska kulturella identitet idag. För att undersöka detta har vi genomfört en kvantitativ studie på Pauliskolan, en gymnasieskola i Malmö. Enkäten fokuserar på frågeställningar som berör den svenska efterkrigsidentiteten. Begrepp som vi har lyft fram är bl.a. den svenska neutraliteten och folkhemmet. Med hjälp av aktuell forskning kring identitet och svensk mentalitet har vi analyserat vårt material. Resultatet av studien visar att den svenska efterkrigsidentiteten fortfarande är starkt närvarande hos ungdomarna i vår undersökning. Detta kan förklaras framför allt genom kombinationen av narrativ identitet och kamouflerad försvenskning. / The purpose of this essay was to examine which historical events and concepts that are the unifying cement of the Swedish cultural identity for today’s youths. We have made a quantitative study on Pauliskolan, a high school in Malmoe. The poll focuses on questions about the Swedish post-war identity. Neutrality and the Swedish welfare state are examples of concepts that we have highlighted. We analyse our material by using current research about identity and Swedish mentality. The result of the study shows that the Swedish post-war identity is still strongly present among youths in our study. This can be explained through a combination of narrative identity and camouflaged swedification.

Cette thèse constitue un outil permettant d’établir, développer et améliorer la coopération entre les partenaires russes et occidentaux, ainsi que d’aider les représentants des secteurs privé et public occidentaux (sociétés privées et organisations internationales) à développer leurs activités en Russie. Son objectif est de montrer le rôle de la mentalité nationale (dans notre cas, la mentalité russe) dans le développement de ces relations. La thèse constitue une étude théorique et pratique, où nous avons utilisé l’approche multidisciplinaire du concept de mentalité; nous avons recouru aux disciplines comme histoire, sciences politiques, sociales et économiques, psychologie et management interculturel. / This thesis is a tool allowing to establish, develop, and improve the cooperation between Russian and western partners, as well as help the western representatives of both sectors (private companies and international organizations) develop their activities in Russia. Its main goal is to show the role of national mentality (in our case, Russian mentality) in the development of such relations. This thesis is a theoretic and practical study for which we used multidisciplinary approach to the concept of mentality; we drew upon disciplines like history,social, political, and economic sciences, and intercultural management.
