In this work, distance and view to protected and non-protected green areas, sea and river were evaluated as to how they increase the housing prices in Natal. Hedonic pricing methods were used with linear models to estimate the marginal implicit value of environmental, residential and neighborhood features. Results on Chapter 1 demonstrate the view to the sea and protected natural areas were largely capitalized on housing prices, while non-protected natural areas didn t display such effect. Housing prices also increase when close to the sea or to parks entrance. However, housing prices fall when houses are near non-protected natural areas. When estates with sea view were excluded, the protected natural areas view and a longer distance to non-protected natural areas increased dwelling prices. Results on Chapter 2 point the sea view as an hedonic variable the contributes strongly to the property selling prices, even though not always as the greatest contributor; furthermore, the property proximity to Dunas Park or City of the Park entrance increases its price, as does closeness to Dunas Park, view to City of the Park or Dunas Park. On the other hand, selling prices diminish if properties are close to City of the Park or Morro do Careca. Results on this study confirm the hedonic pricing methods is an important intrument, capable of revealing to popullation the importance of enviromental amenities and can be used by public managers for creating public policies for conservation and restoration projects / O valor das amenidades fornecidas por ?reas verdes, o mar, o rio e a paisagem natural s?o dificilmente percebidas e incorporadas no planejamento e desenvolvimento urbano. Neste trabalho foram avaliadas como a dist?ncia e a vista para ?reas verdes urbanas protegidas, n?o protegidas, para o mar e o rio incrementam o valor de resid?ncias em Natal. Foi utilizada a metodologia de pre?os hed?nicos para estimar o valor impl?cito marginal de atributos ambientais, residenciais e urban?sticos atrav?s de modelos lineares. Os resultados do Cap?tulo 1 demonstram que a vista para o mar e para as ?reas naturais protegidas foram amplamente capitalizadas nos pre?os dos im?veis, enquanto que para as ?reas naturais n?o protegidas este efeito n?o foi observado. O pre?o do im?vel tamb?m aumenta se est? pr?ximo ao mar e a entrada de parques. No entanto, os pre?os das habita??es diminuem quando est?o pr?ximas as ?reas naturais n?o protegidas. Quando os im?veis com vista para o mar foram exclu?dos, tanto a vista para a ?rea natural protegida quanto uma maior dist?ncia da ?rea natural n?o protegida aumentaram o pre?o da propriedade. Os resultados do Cap?tulo 2 indicaram que a vista para o mar ? uma vari?vel hed?nica que contribui muito para o pre?o de venda do im?vel, embora nem sempre seja a que mais contribui; ainda, a proximidade do im?vel em rela??o ? entrada do Parque das Dunas ou do Parque da Cidade aumenta o seu pre?o, como tamb?m aumenta se est? pr?ximo ao Parque das Dunas e se tem vista para o Parque da Cidade ou para o Parque das Dunas. Por outro lado, os pre?os de venda diminuem se as propriedades est?o pr?ximas ao Parque da Cidade ou ao Morro do Careca. Os resultados deste estudo confirmam que a metodologia de pre?os hed?nicos ? um instrumento importante capaz de revelar ? popula??o a import?ncia das amenidades ambientais e pode ser utilizada por gestores p?blicos na cria??o de pol?ticas p?blicas para projetos de conserva??o e recupera??o do meio ambiente

This essay investigates how Bret Easton Ellis portrays Patrick Bateman as a projection of American society, in order to criticize consumerism and capitalism in his novel American Psycho. By applying Marxist theory, this essay examines Bateman's consumption patterns and class-consciousness using key Marxist terms. This essay investigates the relationship between Bateman and his commodities, through the Marxist concept of value. Furthermore, this essay suggests that Bateman's consumption pattern creates his identity and that Bateman's lust for consumption has no boundaries. Bateman quenches his thirst for consumption by consuming humans of low status on the social hierarchy, by acts of violence, rape or cannibalism.

Detta arbete grundar sig på att undersöka vad som krävs för att bolag ska investera i nyproduktion av hyresrätter. Vi går in på olika hyressättningssystem som används vid befintliga hyreslägenheter och hur staten med hjälp av presumtionshyror och investeringsstöd har försökt stimulera nyproduktionen av hyreslägenheter. Ämnet fri hyressättning eller marknadshyror har varit ett hett debattämne som till och med fått regeringen att avgå år 2021. Arbetet fortsätter därför att undersöka om det strikta hyressättningssystem som finns i Sverige hindrar nyproduktionen av hyresrätter samt om just en fri hyressättning hade kunnat ändra på detta.  Arbetet har utgått från en kvalitativ metod för att uppnå syftet. Arbetet utgår från vetenskapliga artiklar, litteratur samt intervjuer med personer från olika fastighetsbolag. Resultatet som vi kommit fram till är att detta är en känslig fråga där åsikterna varierar mellan privata och kommunala bolag. Det går att konstatera att nybyggnationen har minskat och priserna för nybyggnation har stigit kraftigt till följd av inflationen och det höjda ränteläget. För att öka incitamentet till nybyggnation av hyreslägenheter krävs en tydligare struktur och handlingsplan från kommunerna samt mer beviljande av bygglov, men i ett långtidsperspektiv krävs en ny reform av hyressättningssystemet. / This paper examines the requirements that are needed for companies to invest in new development. We go into different rental compensation systems that are used in existing rental apartments and how the state has tried to stimulate the production of rental apartments with the help of presumptive rents and investment support. The subject of no rent regulations or market rents has been a hot topic of debate that even caused the government to resign in 2021. Therefore, the paper continues to investigate whether the strict rent setting system that exists in Sweden prevents the new production of rental properties and whether a free rent setting could have changed this. A qualitative method has been used to fulfil the purpose of the paper. The paper is based on scientific articles, literature and interviews with people from various real estate companies. The result of the study is that this is a sensitive issue where opinions vary between private and municipal companies. It can be stated that new developments have decreased and prices for new construction have risen sharply as a result of inflation and the increased interest rate. In order to increase the incentive for new construction of rental apartments, a clearer structure and action plan from the municipalities is required, as well as more granting of building permits, but in the long term, a new reform of the rent compensation system is required.

Cette recherche s’intéresse à la valeur d’usage du toit vert dans l’arrondissement du Plateau Mont-Royal, de la Ville de Montréal. Spécifiquement, elle s’intéresse à l’état problématique qu’est l’étalement urbain en tentant l’estimation de la valeur d’usage du toit vert, de la cour arrière et du balcon-terrasse soutenue par le dispositif argumentaire immobilier propre à chacun des aménagements. L’étalement urbain est la source de graves problèmes et la résorption de ses effets néfastes est devenue une priorité dans l’aménagement du territoire. L’une des principales raisons sousjacentes à l’exode urbain est la valeur d’usage accordée à la parcelle extérieure qu’offre l’habitat unifamilial pavillonnaire. Dans cette situation, la question est de savoir si l’insertion d’espaces verts privés en milieu urbain peut participer à la résorption de l’exode urbain. Or, dans l’agglomération, le sol manque. Le toit vert privé apparaît comme une alternative astucieuse, bien que limitée, au terrain entourant la maison. Reste à savoir si les gens le valorisent tel un espace vert privé d’extrême proximité, à même le sol. À la lueur de l’analyse, il advient que le toit vert ne présente pas de valeur d’usage comparable à celle de la cour arrière dans le contexte observé, précisément parce que leurs publics cibles s’opposent d’emblée. En revanche, le balcon-terrasse et le toit vert semblent être, en fonction des données construites, des aménagements à valeur d’usage comparable. / This research focuses on the use-value of green roofs in Plateau Mont-Royal, a borough in the city of Montreal. It focuses on the problematic state of urban sprawl by trying to estimate the use-value of the green roof, backyard and terrace, supported by the real estate argumentation of each facilities. Urban sprawl is the source of serious problems and the absorption of its harmful effects has become a priority in urban planning. One of the main reasons underlying the prevalent urban exodus is the value given to the use of exterior land offered by the single-family suburban habitat. In this situation, the main interest is to know if the inclusion of private open spaces in urban areas can participate in the resumption of the urban exodus. Because lack of soil in the city is an obstacle, the private green roof appears as a smart, although limited, alternative for the land surrounding a house. But this option is only relevant if people value these alternative private open spaces as they value the ground spaces. After analysis, it happens that the green roof has no use-value comparable to the backyard in the observed context, particularly because their respective public opposes outright. On the other hand, based on construction data, the terrace and green roof seem to have a comparable use-value.

Avec 42% de la consommation d'énergie finale et 25% des émissions de CO2, le secteur des bâtiments en France représente un enjeu majeur pour maîtriser la facture énergétique des ménages, des collectivités et de l'État. Cette thèse s'attache ainsi à analyser la façon dont les territoires sont en capacité de s'engager dans des projets destinés à réduire les consommations énergétiques des bâtiments. Elle propose de formaliser une démarche de conception collaborative de programmes d'efficacité énergétique des bâtiments, mobilisable par des acteurs souhaitant s'engager dans de tels projets. L'hypothèse de base de la thèse consiste en effet à affirmer qu'une amélioration significative et durable des bâtiments ne peut s'envisager sans revoir en profondeur le fonctionnement actuel du secteur bâtiment-énergie afin de l'engager vers un modèle basé sur l'économie de fonctionnalité. Trois terrains d'expérimentations ont servi de référence à la construction de l'argumentation et à sa validation : les départements de Meuse et de Haute-Marne, les villages de Dammarie-sur-Saulx et Epizon, et la ville de Commercy.Ce travail conclut sur les facteurs clés de succès d'un programme d'efficacité énergétique et de son évaluation ; la nécessité d'avoir un nouveau modèle économique comme repère pour fonder la pertinence de l'action. Elle souligne enfin son intérêt pour d'autres programmes prenant en charge une évolution de l'organisation de la filière du bâtiment / With 42% of the final energy consumption and 25% of CO2 emissions, the French building sector represents a major challenge to manage the energy bill for households, regional communities and the State. This doctoral thesis analyses how communities are able to be involved in projects aiming at reducing energy consumptions in buildings. It proposes to formalize a collaborative design process of energy efficiency program, usable for local actors. The original thesis hypothesis asserts that a significant improvement of the energy efficiency in buildings depends on a paradigm shift of the economic model and proposes the functional economy as a potential solution. Three experimentations were followed to build the argumentation and its validation: the departments of Meuse and Haute-Marne, the two villages of Dammarie-sur-Saulx (Meuse) and Epizon (Haute-Marne) and the city of Commercy (Meuse). This work defines on key success factors of a energy efficiency program and its assessment; the need to use a new economic model as a landmark to establish the action relevance. This work highlights also other programs taking account an evolution of the building sector organisation

Esta pesquisa aborda as condições da produção do espaço urbano e sua imagem a partir da realização da Copa do Mundo de Futebol da Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) de 2014, e as contradições entre elas. Para tal, recorre, sobretudo, às bases teóricometodológicas advindas de Henri Lefebvre, Guy Debord e outros membros da Internacional Situacionista (IS), bem como a Karl Marx e Robert Kurz. As cidades sede da Copa de 2014, mais notadamente São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e São Lourenço da Mata/Recife, constituem o espaço de análise para compreender as relações entre Estado e capital, bem como suas formas de efetivação no cotidiano e no espaço. Em busca de desvendar o papel do Estado na reprodução (crítica) do capitalismo, foram analisadas as leis federais voltadas para a Copa de 2014; a carta de crédito do Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES) destinada à construção das arenas; o Regime de Diferenciado de Contratações Públicas (RDC); as Parcerias Público-Privadas; e os Certificados de Incentivo ao Desenvolvimento (CID) concedidos pela prefeitura de São Paulo. Os resultados e consequências desse processo efetivam-se na espacialidade urbana e em seu cotidiano por meio de estratégias como, por exemplo, FIFA Fan Fest,smart city,naming right,áreas de restrição comercial, crime por marketing de emboscada,ranking de cidadesmarcas, direitos de imagem e de marketing da FIFA. Diante disso irrompe a hipótese de que a produção do espaço espetaculariza-se, e a cidade torna-se cenário na medida em que sua imagem é produzida e comercializada autonomizada de seus conteúdos e contradições. Reduzida a cenário, a cidade vê-se diante de novos processos de fragmentação e segregação, o que possibilita avançar na compreensão de novos negócios com o urbano e sua paisagem. / This research approaches the conditions and contradictions between the production of urban space and its image, based on the FIFAs Football World Cup 2014 event. For this purpose, uses the theoretical and methodological bases arising from Henri Lefebvre, Guy Debord and other members of the Situationist International, as well as Karl Marx and Robert Kurz. The Cup host cities in 2014, especially Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and São Lourenço da Mata/Recife, constitute the scope of analysis to understand the relations between state and capital as well as their ways of realization in daily life and space. Seeking to unravel the States role in the (critical) reproduction of capitalism, we have analyzed the Federal Laws aimed at the 2014 World Cup, the BNDESs line of credit granted for the construction of the World Cup stadiums; the Differentiated Contracting Regime; the Public-Private Partnerships; and the Development Incentive Certificates granted by São Paulos City Hall. The results and consequences of this process are materialized in urban spatiality and in daily life through strategies such as the FIFAs Fan Fests; smart city; naming right; areas of trade restraint; crime of ambush marketing; ranking city-brands; FIFAs image rights and marketing rights. In light of this arises the hypothesis that the production of space becomes spectacular, and the city becomes scenario to the extent that its image is produced and marketed autonomized of its contents and contradictions. Reduced to scenario, the city faces new processes of fragmentation and segregation, which enables us to a better understanding of the new business with the urban and its landscape.

The focus of this thesis is on describing and analysing recently graduated physicians’ and engineers’ experiences of the relationship between the professional education programs and the respective professional practices. The aim is to explore the professionals’ reasons for their educational and career choices, what they learn in professional education, the demands they encounter in the workplace, and the perceived needs and opportunities for learning and further development in their professional practices. This study is based on a comparative design and the empirical data have been collected in interviews with physicians and master’s level engineers in information technology. The theoretical framework is structured around three parts, consisting of theories of professionalisation, theories concerned with the functions of higher education, and theories concerned with the concepts of knowledge, competence and qualifications. There is a close relationship between the process of professionalisation, the authority of the professions, the legitimacy of professional knowledge, and the higher education institutions. The results indicate that theory and practice are intimately integrated in the physicians’ professional education, whereas the engineers’ experiences of the educational program are characterised by little overlap between theory and practice. Furthermore, the physicians emphasise the importance of theoretical specialist knowledge and socio-communicative competence while the engineers instead stress the importance of generalist competence. The educational knowledge base is relatively static for both physicians and engineers. However, whereas there is a correspondence between the educational and the professional knowledge base in the case of the physicians they are only a loosely coupled in the case of the engineers. This can be attributed to the changing nature of the engineers’ professional knowledge base, which is characterised by constant change. The physicians regard their professional education as a rational preparation for the world of work. Although education does provide a general foundation for further professional development and learning, the engineers associate their professional education more with a symbolic ritual. For physicians, the formal credentials are a legal requirement to practise the profession. Education is regarded as constituting an important credential also for the engineers as it increases individual employability. The physicians tend to emphasise the use value of the educational program, while the engineers instead stress the exchange value of their educational program.

A qualificação desta espécie de direitos intelectuais como direito de propriedade surgiu da necessidade histórica de dar outro nome aos antigos privilégios e persistiu graças à ambivalência da noção de propriedade. Entretanto, quase nenhuma regra específica da propriedade lhes é aplicável. Os direitos autorais não são suscetíveis de apropriação exclusiva, porque não possuem a característica da raridade. A escassez artificialmente conferida por lei tornou-se insustentável na Era Digital, especialmente em relação aos bens transmissíveis pela internet. Hodiernamente, os fonogramas prescindem de serem fixados em forma de átomos para serem reproduzidos e distribuídos, pois, em simples forma de bits, passaram a circular livremente, sem perda de qualidade e com um custo ínfimo. De fato, os direitos autorais e suas expressões patrimoniais devem ser tutelados como direitos não dominiais, pois, na prática, o direito de propriedade envolve abstenções impostas aos não-proprietários, que são incompatíveis com a abundância dos bens artísticos intelectuais. O paradigma emergente chama a atenção para o fato de que é o valor de uso das obras que deve recompensar a chama criativa dos autores, pois o valor de troca praticamente não existe mais. / Salvador
