Paulo Engineering Polytechnic School and its first director, during 14 years. The master dissertation scrutinizes the following aspects: his primary studies in Brazil, his secondary studies in Dresden (Germany), his engineering studies in Switzerland (Zurich) and in Germany (Karlsruhe), the family of his wife (Herwegh family), his return to Brazil, his experience in the United States of America, his involvement in the republican convention of Itu, his careers as an engineer and as a politician, his dispute with Euclides da Cunha and the foundation of the S. Paulo Engineering Polytechnic School. During his stay in Zurich he registered himself in the courses of engineering at the Engineering Polytechnic School (ETH) and of philosophy at the University of Zurich, simultaneously. This dual registration created him problems with the ETH superiors. Analyses of his school grades and the writing of his final examinations, at the Karlsruhe Polytechnic, showed a solid academic formation and accentuated interest in railroad construction and in water dams. These have been exactly the emphasis of his career acting as an engineer. The engineering education model introduced in the S. Paulo Polytechnic also keeps narrow relation with the type of engineering education practiced at the time in Zurich and in Karlsruhe. The proposal of the creation of the S. Paulo Engineering Polytechnic School followed the model of the Swiss and German engineering schools, focusing the education towards applied sciences, arts and to industries, as opposed to the positivistic model adopted in Rio de Janeiro, defended by Euclides da Cunha / O tema central desta dissertação é a formação científica e humanística de Antonio Francisco de Paula Souza (1843-1917), o fundador da Escola Politécnica de São Paulo e seu primeiro diretor, por 14 anos. A dissertação contempla os seguintes aspectos: seus estudos primários no Brasil, seus estudos secundários em Dresden (Alemanha), seus estudos de engenharia na Suíça (Zurique) e na Alemanha (Karlsruhe), a família de sua esposa (família Herwegh), seu retorno ao Brasil, a experiência nos Estados Unidos da América, sua participação na convenção de Itu, sua carreira como engenheiro e político, seu embate com Euclides da Cunha e a fundação da Escola Politécnica de São Paulo. Em Zurique ele matriculou-se simultaneamente nos cursos de engenharia da Escola Politécnica (ETH) e de filosofia da Universidade de Zurique. Esta dupla matrícula acabou lhe criando problemas com a direção da ETH. As análises de seu histórico escolar e das atas de seus exames finais, na Politécnica de Karlsruhe, mostram uma formação acadêmica sólida e acentuado interesse pela construção de estradas de ferro e de barragens. Foram justamente essas as ênfases de sua atuação como engenheiro. O modelo de ensino de engenharia introduzido na Politécnica de São Paulo também guarda estreita relação com o tipo de ensino de engenharia praticado à época em Zurique e em Karlsruhe. A proposta de criação da Escola Politécnica de São Paulo seguiu o modelo das escolas de engenharia suíças e alemãs, privilegiando o ensino voltado às ciências aplicadas, às artes e às indústrias, em contraposição ao modelo positivista adotado no Rio de Janeiro e defendido pelo engenheiro Euclides da Cunha

This program was formulated in the disputes around the Brazilian professional formation of the 21st century. Currently, the Rede e-Tec Brasil is part of the National Program of Access to Technical Education and Employment (PRONATEC), which offers professional education in public institutions and in National Learning Services (Sistema S). The main objective of this research was analyze which conceptions of education and work are in dispute in the public policy of professional and technological distance education (Rede e-Tec Brasil) in a professional education institution. The specific objectives were: a) to understand the delineations, the mediations and the contradictions present in the formation of the contemporary worker; b) analyze the conceptions of work and education in the official documents that regulate the policy of e-Tec Brasil Network nationally; c) to elucidate, in the documents that organize the courses offered by e-Tec Brazil Network in the institution researched, in what way the fundamental relationship between work and education is presented; d) unveil how the managers responsible for e-Tec Brazil Network in the institution and the students of the courses taught characterize the relationship between work and education. Thus, the research problem was formulated: Which are the conceptions of work and education are present and are the protagonists of disputes in the public policy for the training of distance workers (Rede e-Tec Brasil) of a professional education institution? The guiding axes of the theoretical reference were: a) capital crisis, production organization and distance worker training with support in Antunes (2009a, 2011b, 2013); Alves, G. (2011); Harvey (2011, 2013); Silva Júnior and Martins (2013), Duarte (2008); b) structural duality in Brazilian professional education in Cunha's writings (2000a, 2000b, 2005); Manfredi (2002); Caires and Oliveira (2016); Frigotto (2001); Ciavatta and Ramos (2011); Silva, M. R. (2010); c) polytechnic training of the worker with contribution of Saviani (2007a, 2008); Frigotto (2001, 2010a, 2011); Moura and Lima Filho (2017); Lima Filho (2015); Kuenzer (1991); Rummert (1998); Ciavatta and Ramos (2011); Ramos (2002). Thus, an investigation anchored in Marx's historical-dialectical materialism was proposed, understanding that social reality is the consequence of human activity, and that professional education policies are the result of the performance of historical subjects in a Brazilian capitalist society. The approach of the research is qualitative, having as methodological procedures the documentary analysis, interviews with managers and discussion groups with students. From the empirical data analysis, four categories emerged: a) The configuration of Rede e-Tec Brazil; b) the management of the market in the training of workers; c) the emptied content of the workers training; d) ruptures and continuities in the formation of the worker. It is concluded, therefore, that the organization of this EaD policy distanced itself from the polytechnical training, since the Rede e-Tec Brasil reproduced the fragmentation of the educational work and the knowledge of the professional education, with the presence of a market-oriented education , lightened and aimed at adapting subjects to flexibilization, informality, entrepreneurship and efficiency; the reduction of education and work to the practical experimentation of the making of a profession; the reaffirmation of structural duality in education materialized by the fragmentation between knowledge of work, science and culture. It is also concluded that, in the institutional context, some specific actions of articulation between work, science and culture were verified. / A Rede e-Tec Brasil, regulamentada pelo Decreto n.º 7.589, 26 de outubro de 2011, oferta educação profissional a distância. Esse programa foi formulado nas disputas em torno da formação profissional brasileira do século XXI. Atualmente, a Rede e-Tec Brasil está vinculada ao Programa Nacional de Acesso ao Ensino Técnico e Emprego (PRONATEC), que oferece educação profissional em instituições públicas e em Serviços Nacionais de Aprendizagem (Sistema S). Quanto ao objetivo geral, esta investigação analisou quais concepções de educação e trabalho se encontram em disputa na política pública de educação profissional e tecnológica a distância (Rede e-Tec Brasil) em uma instituição de educação profissional. Já os objetivos específicos foram: a) compreender os delineamentos, as mediações e as contradições presentes na formação do trabalhador contemporâneo; b) analisar as concepções de trabalho e educação nos documentos oficiais que regulamentam nacionalmente a política da Rede e-Tec Brasil; c) elucidar, nos documentos que organizam os cursos ofertados pela Rede e-Tec Brasil na instituição pesquisada, de que maneira se apresenta a relação fundamental entre trabalho e educação; d) desvendar como os gestores responsáveis pela Rede e-Tec Brasil na instituição e os estudantes dos cursos ministrados caracterizam a relação entre trabalho e educação. Desse modo, o problema de pesquisa foi assim formulado: Quais concepções de trabalho e educação estão presentes e protagonizam disputas na política pública de formação dos trabalhadores a distância (Rede e-Tec Brasil) de uma instituição de educação profissional? Como eixos orientadores do referencial teórico, estes foram: a) crise do capital, organização da produção e formação do trabalhador a distância com apoio em Antunes (2009a, 2011b, 2013); Alves, G. (2011); Harvey (2011, 2013); Silva Júnior e Martins (2013), Duarte (2008); b) dualidade estrutural na educação profissional brasileira nos escritos de Cunha (2000a, 2000b, 2005); Manfredi (2002); Caires e Oliveira (2016); Frigotto (2001); Ciavatta e Ramos (2011); Silva, M. R. (2010); c) formação politécnica do trabalhador com aporte de Saviani (2007a, 2008); Frigotto (2001, 2010a, 2011); Moura e Lima Filho (2017); Lima Filho (2015); Kuenzer (1991); Rummert (1998); Ciavatta e Ramos (2011); Ramos (2002). Propôs-se assim uma investigação ancorada no materialismo histórico-dialético de Marx, compreendendo que a realidade social é fruto da atuação dos seres humanos, sendo as políticas de educação profissional resultado da atuação de sujeitos históricos em uma sociedade capitalista, a brasileira. A abordagem da pesquisa é qualitativa, tendo como procedimentos metodológicos a análise documental, entrevistas com gestores e grupos de discussão com estudantes. Da análise dos dados empíricos, emergiram quatro categorias: a) a Rede e-Tec Brasil em sua configuração; b) a regência do mercado sobre a formação dos trabalhadores; c) o esvaziamento do conteúdo da formação do trabalhador; d) rupturas e continuidades na formação do trabalhador. Conclui-se, portanto, que a organização desta política de EaD se distanciou da formação politécnica, visto que a Rede e-Tec Brasil reproduziu a fragmentação do trabalho educativo e do conhecimento da educação profissional, havendo a presença de uma educação voltada para o mercado, aligeirada e que visa adequar os sujeitos à flexibilização, à informalidade, ao empreendedorismo e à eficiência; a redução da educação e do trabalho à experimentação prática do fazer de uma profissão; a reafirmação da dualidade estrutural na educação materializada pela fragmentação entre conhecimentos do trabalho, das ciências e da cultura. Conclui-se ainda que, no âmbito institucional, foram constatadas algumas ações específicas de articulação entre trabalho, ciência e cultura.

It covered from the design of water supply and sewage works, road and rail transport networks, works against drought in the Northeast, hydroelectric and harbor facilities to the urbanization planning and architectural projects, which displays a systematic and multiple production. City and territory conformed to his fields of verification, practical and above all, transformation. The search for understanding of the inclusion of a social actor in this process thus contributes to the specific analysis of the doings of Henrique de Novaes, who graduated at Polytechnic School of Rio de Janeiro in 1906. From a polymorphic activity in different scales, one tries to figure how, through academic education or professional practice, urban history in Brazil can be told or built. The introduction of technological innovations matched the purposes of planning and urban sprawl, as well as met the specifications of regulation and institutionalization of public infrastructure services at the time. The overall plans proposed by the engineer thought of the city as a whole, interconnected to the structural networks. At the same time, the knowledge of a larger physical scale the territory bounces back in the urban in a relationship of reciprocity and completeness. The objective research, therefore, tries to understand the roles played by Henrique de Novaes s works and academic education in the accomplishment of systematic modernization of Brazilian urban space and territory, recovering a little known historical figure by current historiography. It is proposed, as methodological axis, that the study of this professional career configures itself as an essential element for understanding the idea of progress embodied in the technical studies and proposals for improvements and sanitation nationwide in the first half of the twentieth century . The primary sources for the construction of this analysis were technical articles in journals of the period ( Clube de Engenharia , Via??o e Revista Brasileira de Engenharia ), and technical reports, government messages, newspaper articles published at the time, autobiographical reports and the engineer s verbal communications with relatives. The work is structured in three chapters: "Biographical traces, academic education and 'technical and political' activities" illustrates the initiation into the technical, public and political environment; Chapter 2, "Technique and territory" outlines his network understanding through sanitation and transport services; Chapter 3 "Technique and City" describes the influence of polytechnics knowledge on the propositions of modernization of cities; Finally, "Final Thoughts: An Evaluation," presents an overview of the affiliations and practice of an engineer in the different scales, and its contribution to the modernization of Brazilian urban and territorial space / A trajet?ria profissional do engenheiro civil Henrique de Novaes, uma figura de relev?ncia no meio acad?mico, t?cnico e pol?tico, demonstra sua extensa e relevante atua??o pelo Brasil, na primeira metade do s?culo XX. Abrangeu desde a concep??o de redes de abastecimento d ?gua, de esgoto e de transporte ferrovi?rio e rodovi?rio; obras contra as secas no Nordeste, hidroel?tricas e portu?rias ? elabora??o de planos de urbaniza??o e de projetos arquitet?nicos, o que evidencia uma produ??o sistematizada e m?ltipla. A cidade e o territ?rio conformaram-se, pois, como seus campos de verifica??o, de pr?tica e, sobretudo, de transforma??o. A procura pela compreens?o da inser??o de um ator social nesse processo concorre, assim, para a an?lise espec?fica da atua??o de Henrique de Novaes, formado pela Escola Polit?cnica do Rio de Janeiro em 1906. A partir de uma atividade polimorfa, em distintas escalas, tenta-se responder de que forma, por meio de uma forma??o ou de uma pr?tica profissional, pode-se contar ou construir a hist?ria urbana brasileira. A introdu??o de inova??es tecnol?gicas combinou-se ?s finalidades de ordenamento e de expans?o urbana, bem como, respondeu aos objetivos de regula??o e de institucionaliza??o dos servi?os de infraestrutura p?blica ? ?poca. Os planos de conjunto propostos pelo engenheiro pensaram a cidade como um todo interligado ?s redes estruturais. Ao mesmo tempo em que, em sua trajet?ria, o conhecimento de uma escala f?sica mais ampla o territ?rio se rebate no urbano em uma rela??o de reciprocidade e de complementa??o. A pesquisa objetiva, portanto, entender o papel da forma??o e da obra de Henrique de Novaes na concretiza??o de a??es sistematizadas de moderniza??o do espa?o urbano e territorial brasileiro, recuperando um sujeito hist?rico pouco conhecido pela historiografia corrente. Prop?e-se, como eixo metodol?gico, que o estudo desse percurso profissional configura-se elemento essencial para a compreens?o dos ide?rios de progresso materializados nos estudos t?cnicos e nas propostas de melhorias e de saneamento, em ?mbito nacional, na primeira metade do s?culo XX. As fontes prim?rias utilizadas para a constru??o dessa an?lise foram artigos de revistas t?cnicas do per?odo (Clube de Engenharia, Via??o e Revista Brasileira de Engenharia), pareceres e relat?rios t?cnicos, mensagens de governo, artigos de jornais publicados ? ?poca, relatos autobiogr?ficos e comunica??es verbais com familiares do engenheiro. O trabalho est? estruturado em tr?s cap?tulos: Tra?os biogr?ficos, forma??o profissional e atua??o t?cnico-pol?tica ilustra a inicia??o no meio t?cnico, p?blico e pol?tico; o Cap?tulo 2 T?cnica e territ?rio esbo?a a sua compreens?o de rede por meio dos servi?os de saneamento e de transportes; j? o Cap?tulo 3 T?cnica e Cidade aborda a influ?ncia do saber polit?cnico nas proposi??es de moderniza??o das cidades; e, por ?ltimo, Considera??es Finais: um balan?o , tra?a um panorama das filia??es e da pr?tica do engenheiro, nas distintas escalas, e sua contribui??o para o processo de moderniza??o do espa?o urbano e territorial brasileiro

Architecture has meaning and purpose when it is seen not as something that firmly must exist, but as the possibilities that a situation creates. I have not yet found that which is concretely architecture, but I can say that which is concretely architecture, but I can say that which could exist as beauty in this world. The design of everyday objects becomes architecture to me, whether it be of a building, a piece of jewelry, or a piece of pottery. My undergraduate thesis was a study of the interaction of a curved wall and a straight wall, as autonomous elements. I proposed not only the spacial design but also how it is affected and changed by the site; namely the repetition and orientation. In my graduate work, I undertook an investigation of the connection between old and new. My thesis suggests, in the form of three schemes or plans, what that connection could be and how it creates and affects architecture. / Master of Architecture

The first International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) was held in Zurich in 1897, setting the standards for all future ICMs. Whilst giving an overview of the congress itself, this thesis focuses on the Swiss organisers, who were predominantly university professors and secondary school teachers. As this thesis aims to offer some insight into their lives, it includes their biographies, highlighting their individual contributions to the congress. Furthermore, it explains why Zurich was chosen as the first host city and how the committee proceeded with the congress organisation. Two of the main organisers were the Swiss geometers Carl Friedrich Geiser (1843-1934) and Ferdinand Rudio (1856-1929). In addition to the congress, they also made valuable contributions to mathematical education, and in Rudio's case, the history of mathematics. Therefore, this thesis focuses primarily on these two mathematicians. As for Geiser, the relationship to his great-uncle Jakob Steiner is explained in more detail. Furthermore, his contributions to the administration of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology are summarised. Due to the overarching theme of mathematical education and collaborations in this thesis, Geiser's schoolbook "Einleitung in die synthetische Geometrie" is considered in more detail and Geiser's methods are highlighted. A selection of Rudio's contributions to the history of mathematics is studied as well. His book "Archimedes, Huygens, Lambert, Legendre" is analysed and compared to E W Hobson's treatise "Squaring the Circle". Furthermore, Rudio's papers relating to the commentary of Simplicius on quadratures by Antiphon and Hippocrates are considered, focusing on Rudio's translation of the commentary and on "Die Möndchen des Hippokrates". The thesis concludes with an analysis of Rudio's popular lectures "Leonhard Euler" and "Über den Antheil der mathematischen Wissenschaften an der Kultur der Renaissance", which are prime examples of his approach to the history of mathematics.

The thesis research is devoted to activities of the Ukrainian Husbandry Academy, which existed in Podiebrady during 1922-1935 and developed into the first Ukrainian Polytechnic, where youth from the different Ukrainian territories, belonging to Poland, Hungary, Romania, USSR could get free education. This academy became "an island of Ukrainian culture" in a foreign land. The paper reviews the formation of this unique high school and its periodization, as well as its successor - the Ukrainian Technical Husbandry Institute of correspondence education (1932-1945), which appeared in exile due to the financial support of Czechoslovak government and donations of Ukrainians around the world. The last chapter is devoted to UHA broad publishing activities and attemp to list its educational works, which have been found in the several Czech archives as the parts of raw archival funds. Some aspects of the thesis concern the little-studied UHA contribution to the formation of economic, polytechnic and agricultural terminology in the modern Ukrainian language, as well as its librarianship together with the information about the location of UHA library in the Czech Republic.
