Euripides' Trojan women : a 20th century war play in performance

Willis, Avery Tinch January 2005 (has links)
In this dissertation, I approach the interpretation of a classical text in performance by examining the practical elements (directorial and design choices: set, costumes, lighting, music, etc.) and promotional materials (programmes, press releases, photographs, etc.) for a selection of significant test cases in order to determine how these production decisions engage with external factors of political, intellectual, and cultural import. Trojan Women is a particularly useful case study to explore within the parameters of this method because the dynamism and immediacy of the play is most powerfully articulated when production choices allow for it to be wielded as a weapon of protest or reaction against contemporary policy, especially the waging of war. Using a chronological approach, this analysis of Trojan Women as a text for performance provides a broad and in-depth discussion of the reception of the play in the twentieth century, the period in which the ancient text was most frequently performed. Through the investigation of several influential productions on the international stage, and through an examination of the roles of key players (particularly Gilbert Murray and Jean-Paul Sartre), Trojan Women emerges as a play that offers theatre artists a unique and effective forum for debating issues of human responsibility in times of war a central theme in the play and a considerable preoccupation during a century of armed conflict. Chapter One discusses how the play was used to criticize imperial activity and promote ideological causes in the first half of the century. Chapters Two and Three draw attention to a major cluster of performances reflecting the spirit of international war protest in the 1960s and 1970s. Chapter Four addresses productions of the play affected by delayed responses to the Holocaust. Chapter Five features performances in the 1990s that respond to crises of civil conflict and genocide.

DATAFLÖDEN OCH DIGITALA VERKTYG I PRODUKTIONSSKEDET : En granskning av interna dataflöden och digitala verktyg för Skanska Stora Projekt / DATA FLOWS AND DIGITAL TOOLS IN THE PRODUCTION STAGE : A review of internal data flows and digital tools for Skanska Large Projects

Ida, Eriksson, Skoog, Joachim January 2022 (has links)
Digitaliseringen i bygg- och anläggningsbranschen går snabbt framåt. Under coronapandeminuppger ”Svensk Byggtjänst” att utvecklingen har accelererat och att användningen avbranschspecifika digitala verktyg har ökat med över 60%. Denna snabba utveckling skersamtidigt som stora pågående projekt vilket leder till att implementeringen av verktygen skerparallellt med produktionen. Det är inte problemfritt att styra om riktningen för rutiner ocharbetssätt på ett pågående projekt, speciellt inte i informationstäta anläggningsprojekt.I produktionsfasen av ett anläggningsprojekt hanteras stora mängder dokumentation, att skapaett effektivt flöde med minimalt antal avbrott och utan risk för att förlora information på vägenär viktigt, inte minst sett ur ett kvalitetsperspektiv. Kvalitetsdokumentation används för att säkerställa att rätt produkt levereras och att kraven påbyggdelen uppfylls, kvalitetsdokumentationen ingår även i slutdokumentationen som tas framinför en slutbesiktning.Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka Skanskas dataflöden förkvalitetsdokumentation i produktionsfasen. För att undersöka hur dataflödet ser ut i projektethar en granskning av kontrolldokumentationen för en anläggningsdel i Slussen utförts. För attfå en tydligare bild av dataflödet idag samt hur effektivt det är, kartlägger denna studie ettfaktiskt kvalitetsrelaterat flöde, samt intervjuar digitala ledare och produktionsingenjörer. Syftetär att identifiera ineffektivitet och risker i form av avbrott i flödet och förlorad kvalitetssäkring.Studien visar på att det finns ett visst motstånd i produktionen när det kommer tillimplementering av digitala verktyg, att användningsgraden i de digitala verktygen är lägre änönskat samt att den påverkas av personliga preferenser när det kommer till kvalitetsarbetet iproduktionen. I resultatet redovisas konsekvenser som kan kopplas till ineffektiva dataflödensamt vad som behövs för att optimera dataflödet. / Digitalization in the construction industry is progressing rapidly. During the corona pandemic,“Svensk Byggtjänst” states that development has accelerated and that the use of industryspecificdigital tools has increased by more than 60%. This rapid development takes place at thesame time as large ongoing projects, which leads to the implementation of the digital tools takingplace in parallel with the production. It is not without problems to redirect the direction ofroutines and working methods on an ongoing project, especially not in information-denseconstruction projects.In the production phase of a construction project, large amounts of documentation are handled,creating an efficient flow with a minimal number of interruptions and without the risk of losinginformation along the way is important, not least from a quality perspective.Quality documentation is used to ensure that the right product is delivered and that therequirements for the building component are met, the quality documentation is also included inthe final documentation that is produced before a final inspection.The purpose of this thesis is to investigate Skanska's data flows for quality documentation in theproduction phase. To investigate what the data flow looks like in the project, a review of thecontrol documentation for a construction part in Slussen has been carried out. To get a clearerpicture of the data flow today and how efficient it is, this study performs a survey of an actualquality-related flow, and interviews digital leaders and production engineers. The purpose is toidentify inefficiencies and risks in the form of interruptions in the flow and lost qualityassurance.The study shows that there is some resistance in production when it comes to the implementationof digital tools, that the degree of use of the digital tools is lower than desired and that it isaffected by personal preferences when it comes to quality work in production. The results reportconsequences that can be linked to inefficient data flows and what is needed to optimize the dataflow.

Perfil Bioquímico Sanguíneo de Linhagem Pesada de Frango de Corte / Blood Biochemical Profile of Heavy Chicken Lineage

Rezende, Marcelo Sebastião 14 December 2017 (has links)
A carne de frango tornou-se nos últimos anos uma das principais fontes de proteína animal consumida no Brasil e um dos produtos líderes da pauta de exportação do agronegócio nacional. Esta posição de destaque foi conseguida pela contínua evolução das áreas de sanidade, nutrição, manejo, ambiência e genética. Na cadeia avícola, a criação de reprodutores de linhagem pesada de frango de corte tem papel de destaque, haja visto que desempenham o papel de transmissão do código genético ao frango, garantindo a expressão fenotípica de suas qualidades selecionadas. Todavia, a produção de animais de alto rendimento e produtividade prescinde do conhecimento da sua fisiologia, das possíveis alterações metabólicas a que estão sujeitos e das melhores condições de criação, traduzindo na garantia do seu bem-estar. A patologia clínica representa importante ferramenta de auxílio de diagnóstico, muito explorada na medicina humana e na clínica veterinária de animais de companhia. Nas criações industriais dos animais de produção, em destaque nas reprodutoras de frango de corte, não houve a mesma demanda para a sua aplicação, embora, nos últimos anos, tenha aumentado a utilização deste recurso na criação de frango de corte e poedeiras comerciais. Com o objetivo de conhecer as variações fisiológicas de acordo com a idade e o sexo no perfil bioquímico sanguíneo de aves da linhagem pesada de frango de corte, foi realizada a coleta de sangue para a análise de alguns parâmetros bioquímicos. As avaliações foram realizadas nas idades de 4, 12, 20, 28, 36, 44, 52 e 60 semanas, utilizando uma unidade de produção industrial de matrizes de frango de corte, no município de Uberlândia, MG. Entre os constituintes bioquímicos sanguíneos pesquisados, houve diferenças significativas (p<0,05) na proteína total, albumina, globulinas, relação A/G, ácido úrico, triglicérides, colesterol, glicose, fósforo, relação Ca/P, AST e FAL, demonstrando influência do sexo e/ou idade, quando analisados nas fases de recria e produção. Ca e GGT também apresentaram diferenças significativas (p<0,05) na fase de recria e a ALT na fase de produção, sendo também influenciados pelo sexo e/ou idade. Nesse sentido, faz-se necessário realizar novos estudos nesta mesma linha de pesquisa, empregando também outras ferramentas de diagnóstico, como a clínica e a patologia, procurando melhor compreender a fisiologia e os possíveis desafios infecciosos e alterações metabólicas em aves da linhagem pesada de frango de corte. / Chicken meat has become in recent years one of the main sources of animal protein consumed in Brazil and one of the leading products of the national agribusiness export agenda. This outstanding position was achieved by the continuous evolution of the areas of health, nutrition, management, environment and genetics. In the poultry chain, the breeding of heavy chicken´s lineage have a prominent role, since they play the role of transmission of the genetic code to the chicken, guaranteeing the phenotypic expression of its selected qualities. However, the production of high-yielding and productive animals lacks the knowledge of their physiology, the possible metabolic alterations to which they are subject and the best conditions of creation, thus guaranteeing their well-being. Clinical pathology represents an important diagnostic aid tool, much explored in human medicine and veterinary practice in companion animals. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in the use of this resource in the production of broiler chickens and commercial laying hens. In order to know the physiological variations according to age and sex in the blood biochemical profile of the broiler breeders, blood was collected for the analysis of some biochemical constituents. The evaluations were defined at the ages of 4, 12, 20, 28, 36, 44, 52 and 60 weeks, using an industrial production unit of broiler breeders, in the city of Uberlândia, MG. Among the biochemical constituents studied, there were significant differences (p<0.05) in total protein, albumin, globulins, A / G ratio, uric acid, triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, phosphorus, Ca / P, AST and ALP, demonstrating the influence of gender and / or age, when analyzed in the rearing and production phases. Ca and GGT also showed significant differences (p <0.05) in the rearing phase and ALT in the production phase, and were also influenced by sex and / or age. In this sense, it is necessary to undertake new studies in this same line of research, also using other diagnostic tools, such as clinical and pathology, seeking to better understand the physiology and possible infectious challenges and metabolic changes in poultry heavy strain broiler. / Tese (Doutorado)

Skiljer sig energiberäkningarna i projekteringsstadiet från energiberäkningarna i relationshandlingarna?

Ingarsson, Ellen, Sköld, Ellen January 2022 (has links)
To reduce the emissions from energy use, high demands are set on new buildings. Studies have shown big differences between predicted and actual energy performance. This gap makes it more difficult to reduce the energy use in buildings. The aim of this study is to discover if deviations occur before the building is put into use, and if it does, discuss the reasons for that.  In this study, energy performance for 20 multi-family houses have been compared between the early design stage and the production stage. The result of this study is that there are no major differences in energy use between the different documents. On the other hand, there are big differences in some of the parameters that the energy use is dependent on. The reasons of this are discussed later in this thesis. None of the investigated buildings had the same value of energy performance in the production stage as in the early stage. The parameter that has shown the greatest difference is space heating and hot water recirculation. The biggest correlation was found between the energy required by the fans and the buildings total energy use.
