<p>How is space conceptualized? The question is central to subject theory in human geography. In the present dissertation, this issue is actualized in discussions of the virtual, space, and an ontology of becoming. The point of departure is that in human geography, as well as in the general discourses in society, a science fiction-like conception of the virtual has been dominant. The virtual is understood as another reality and as an absolute space. Predominant perceptions of the space and the virtual are problematized in Space in Becoming, and based on analyses of complex sets of ideas grounded in actor-network theory and Deleuzian geophilosophy, an alternative approach is formulated. The aim is to provide an enhanced conceptual understanding of space and the virtual. In order to fulfill the aim, three tasks are performed. Firstly, the prevalent conception of the virtual is presented. Secondly, a conception of space grounded in an ontology of becoming is constructed and defined, expressed in three postulates. Thirdly, the importance of the ontology of becoming and the postulates for the conception and conceptualization of space are discussed in relation to subject theory in human geography. Since the present work centers on treatment of concepts and ideas, a postulate method was selected. The postulate method also makes argumentation and discussion on theoretical and analytical levels possible. The outcome of the project is formulated in three postulates – actants do space, assemblages fold space, and the virtual is a real dimension of space. Accordingly, the main contribution to the conceptual understanding of space and the virtual is the construction and specification of the three postulates. The notion of the virtual as an ontological dimension emerges, with direct implications for the conception and conceptualization of space. The ontology of becoming offers an alternative point of departure, a different perspective on the virtual, and thereby also on virtual geography. This is further elucidated by returning to the point of departure for the dissertation project. The postulates contribute to subject theory in human geography by providing an alternative point of departure for future theoretical research and the formulation of new theories. Accordingly, the particular conception of space expressed in the three postulates brings a challenge in terms of both method and vocabulary.</p>

The scene of this research will have as target the North American School of Accounting. The choice of the searched terminology is its relevance in the study of the Accounting Theory. To understand the evolution of the accountancy thought, will be boarded: the influence of the Feudal System and the Mercantilism in the European economic conception; the importance of the Industrial Revolution in the beginning of the accounting standards and the influence of England in the formation of the North American School of Accounting. With relation to U.S.A., the development of the economic-financial scene of the American society will be evaluated, focusing the contribution in the search of the construction of an applied theoretical framework to the Accounting. The economic-financial development of U.S.A. provided the sprouting of new users with specific necessities. The necessity of the user for useful information for the decision taking, unchained the process of research directed toward the establishment of an applied Accountancy terminology. In this process, the paper exerted for the responsible accountancy organisms for the accounting standards will be boarded, as well as the professionals associations which had invested in researches, aiming at to elaborate a body of accountancy principles and to adjust the accountancy procedures to the necessities of the users. To reach the research objective, a bibliographical revision in specialized literature will be effected, adopting the historical method, in the period that understands the development of the North American School of Accounting. As result of the research, it can conclude that the evolution process of the terminology which is studied presents a structural logical problem, because the impossibility of the construction of a theoretical framework, having as bases the principle terminology. The impossibility occurred in function of the reach attributed to the term, which made a difficult in its application in the elaboration of the accountancy procedures / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo o estudo da evolu??o da terminologia princ?pio cont?bil, constante no referencial conceitual da contabilidade. O cen?rio da pesquisa ter? como escopo a Escola norte-americana de contabilidade. A escolha da terminologia a ser pesquisada deve-se ? relev?ncia que a mesma tem no estudo da Teoria da Contabilidade. Para compreens?o da evolu??o do pensamento cont?bil, ser?o abordados: a influ?ncia do Feudalismo e do Mercantilismo na concep??o econ?mica europ?ia; a import?ncia da Revolu??o Industrial no in?cio da normatiza??o cont?bil e o papel da Inglaterra na forma??o da Escola norte-americana de contabilidade. Com rela??o aos EUA, ser? avaliado o desenvolvimento do cen?rio econ?mico-financeiro da sociedade americana, enfocando a contribui??o na busca da constru??o de um referencial te?rico aplicado ? contabilidade. O desenvolvimento econ?mico-financeiro dos EUA proporcionou o surgimento de novos usu?rios com necessidades espec?ficas. A necessidade do usu?rio por informa??es ?teis para a tomada de decis?o, desencadeou o processo de pesquisa voltada para o estabelecimento de uma terminologia aplicada a contabilidade. Nesse processo, ser? abordado o papel exercido pelos organismos cont?beis repons?veis pela normatiza??o, bem como as associa??es de profissionais que investiram em pesquisas, visando elaborar um corpo de princ?pios cont?beis e adequar os procedimentos cont?beis ?s necessidades dos usu?rios. Para atingir o objetivo da pesquisa, ser? efetuada uma revis?o bibliogr?fica na literatura especializada, adotando-se o m?todo hist?rico, no per?odo que compreende o desenvolvimento da Escola norte-americana de contabilidade. Como resultado da pesquisa, conclui-se que o processo evolutivo da terminologia em estudo apresenta um problema l?gico estrutural, devido a impossiblidade da constru??o de um referencial te?rico, tendo como base a terminologia princ?pio. A impossibilidade ocorreu em fun??o da abrang?ncia atribu?da ao termo, que dificultou sua aplica??o na elabora??o dos procedimentos cont?beis

Na arena de disputa de poderes político, técnico e administrativo a Educação Popular em Saúde (EPS) pode ser considerada uma ferramenta estratégica para fortalecer a mobilização e constituição de sujeitos. Diversos estudos têm proposto a inclusão da EPS nas políticas de educação e gestão da saúde, inclusive registrando iniciativas do SUS nessa perspectiva. Assim, a investigação desses processos poderia contribuir na análise da coerência entre os propósitos, métodos e organização no sentido de indicar distintas estratégias. O presente estudo tem como objetivo geral analisar o projeto de Participação e Educação Popular em Saúde (MobilizaSUS), formulado e implementado no Estado da Bahia entre 2007 e 2014, identificando propósitos, métodos e formas organizativas adotados, a coerência entre os mesmos, assim como caracterizando possíveis influências da EPS sobre esses propósitos, métodos e organização. O Projeto MobilizaSUS integra o Plano Estadual de Saúde (PES 2012-2015), sendo voltado para fortalecer o controle social, com gestão democrática e participativa e ampliação dos canais de diálogo com a sociedade visando à consolidação do Sistema Único de Saúde na Bahia. Assim, foi realizado um estudo de caso, utilizando entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise documental. Para o processamento e análise dos dados foi construída uma matriz orientadora com categorias analíticas e dimensões de análise, a partir dos componentes do “Postulado da Coerência”. A pesquisa foi realizada no período de janeiro a junho de 2014, com dirigentes e técnicos do projeto. Observou-se que o MobilizaSUS apresenta coerência entre seus propósitos, métodos e organização e que os princípios da EPS tem pautado a forma como o grupo organiza seus processos de gestão, de organização e de educação, mesmo enfrentando os limites de uma instituição burocratizada. Apesar das dificuldades identificadas na implementação, considera-se que o MobilizaSUS representa uma experiência que aponta para a constituição de sujeitos com capacidade de influir na agenda política.

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Vinicius Cifú Lopes / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Mestrado Profissional em Matemática em Rede Nacional, 2018. / Esse trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento do método axiomático a partir de Euclides e sua obra os Elementos. Apresenta as discussões sobre eventuais erros lógicos, sobre o postulado das paralelas e como essa reflexão levou matemáticos a chegarem nas geometrias não euclidianas e independência de axiomas. A consolidação do método axiomático na matemática vem com David Hilbert e sua magistral obra Fundamentos de Geometria, a qual nos deu suporte para elaborar uma nova axiomática para a geometria euclidiana plana, mais moderna e sem apresentar erros lógicos cometidos por Euclides. Ao formalizar tais axiomas com uma linguagem de primeira ordem, deparamo-nos com alguns problemas com os axiomas de continuidade, que não são formalizáveis em primeira ordem. Por fim, apresentamos um modelo para a geometria euclidiana e um modelo para uma geometria não euclidiana. / This study presents the development of the axiomatic method based on Euclides and his work Elements. It discusses possible logical errors, the postulate of parallels and how those led mathematicians to conceive non-euclidean geometries and the independence of axioms. The consolidation of the axiomatic method in mathematics is attributed to David Hilbert and his magistral work Foundations of Geometry. It established a new axiomatic for the plane euclidean geometry, more modern and without logical errors as seen in Euclid's work. By formalizing such axioms in a first order language, we find issues with the continuity axioms as they are not formalizable in that order. Lastly, we present a model for the euclidean geometry and another for the non-euclidean geometry.

There are numerous problems associated with the teaching of Euclidean geometry at secondary schools today. Students do not see the necessity of proving results which have been obtained intuitively. They do not comprehend that the validity of a deduction is independent of the 'truth' of the initial assumptions. They do not realise that they cannot reason from diagrams, because these may be misleading or inaccurate. Most importantly, they do not understand that Euclidean geometry is a particular interpretation of physical space and that there are alternative, equally valid interpretations. A possible means of addressing the above problems is tbe introduction of nonEuclidean geometry at school level. It is imperative to identify those students who have the pre-requisite knowledge and skills. A number of interesting teaching strategies, such as debates, discussions, investigations, and oral and written presentations, can be used to introduce and develop the content matter. / Mathematics Education / M.

The aim of this study is to discover how primary scholars as substitute parents, contemplate the perceiving aspect of their substitute parenting. In the theoretical chapters the demands set for adults as primary educators and their development, are viewed. A comparative study between the primary edu­ cator and the child, rounds it off. The experiencing, giving meaning to, and the consequent involvement of substitute parents in their life-world, follow. The research design, substantiates the choice of format, methods of data col­ lection and analyses. Examples of raw data gathered from various tests are presented. Finally, the consolidated data is interpreted. The findings of this study is that substitute parents experience their tasks as being pleasant. Substitute parents are generally over involved with their siblings. This culminates in the development of a strong bond between substitute parents and younger siblings. Substitute parents require support and guidance from an adult to enable them to become adults and venture in their life-world. / In bierdie studie is die leefWereld van die substituut-ouer bestudeer. Die oorhoofse doel van hierdie studie is om met behulp van teoretiese en empiriese studies, ondersoek in te stel na substituut-ouers se belewing van bulle besondere taak. Die studie neem 'n amwang met 'n beskrywing van die primere opvoeder se verantwoordelikhede en eise. Die ontwikkeling van die volwassene word daama bestudeer. Verder Is gelet op die e1se en ontwikkeling wat aan kindwecs gelykgestel word. Die doel hiermee, is om uiteindelik 'n vergelyking te kan tref tussen die volwassene en die kind. Nadat so 'n vergclyking tussen die kind en volwassene gemaak is, sal die probleme wat die kind as substituut-ouer ervaar, oorweeg kan word. Die literatuurstudie kulmincer in substituut-ouers se unieke betekenisgewing, betrokkenheid en belewing aan en by bulle leefWereld. Dan word die literatuurstudie opgevolg deur die navorsingsontwerp, keuse van steekproef­ neming asook wyses van dataverameling en -analisering. Ten slotte word daar gekyk na die verslaggewing aangaande inligting soos bekom met behulp van die verkenningsmedia, te wete individuele onderhoude met die deelnemers aan die navorsing, die Bene-Anthony gesinsverhou­ dingstoets, die Persoonlikheidsvraelys vir kinders, die projeksiemedia van Jacobs en Vrey en die Kinestetiese huisgesinstekeninge. Die gekonsolideerde data word dan geinterpreteer en weergegee ten einde die postulate soos in boofstuk 5 uiteengesit te beantwoord. Die belangrikste bevindings van die studie is dat die taak van substituut­ ouerswees vir laerskoolkinders aangenaam is. Hierdie aangename belewing van hulle taak as substituut-ouers, dra egter nie by tot die vonning van 'n positiewe selfkonsep by die substituut-ouer nie. Substituut-ouers ervaar angs en kommer aangaande hulle substituut-ouerskap. Hulle voel nie bevoeg om as substituut-ouers op te tree nie. Substituut-ouers IS oar die algemeen oorbetrokke by hulle broers en susters. Hulle sien om na hulle sibbe, verseker dat hulle veilig is en verleen hulp aan hulle, waar nodig. Hierdie betrokkenheid veroorsaak 'n sterk band tussen die leerlinge. Hierdie sterk band wat tussen die substituut-ouers en hulle sibbe bestaan, is egter afwesig tussen die substituut-ouers en hulle eie ouers. Substituut-ouers toon dan oak teen die verwagting van die navorser in, dat hulle nie beskik oor 'n verantwoordelikheidsin nie. Substituut-ouers k:an eerder beskryf word as teruggetrokke, met min deursettingsvennoe, prikkelbaar, goedhartig, onderdanig, athanklik en inskiklik. Die studie toon ten slotte dat substituut-ouers betrokke raak by hulle taak as substituut-ouers, vanwee 'n aansporingsmiddel, te wete sakgeld. Benewens vir die bogenoemde bevindings, toon die studie oak dat die ondersteuning en begeleiding van substituut-ouers deur 'n volwassene tot volwassenheid noodsaaklik is. / Psychology of Education / M.
