Techniques of Description in Apuleius' Cupid and PsycheParker, Sarah 04 1900 (has links)
This thesis examines Apuleius' techniques and employment of setting, ecphrasis and characterization in the tale of Cupid and Psyche. Although some scholarly work has been done concerning Apuleius' narrative style, it has largely excluded this story and focused rather upon the larger framework of the Metamorphoses. This study is both a re-evaluation of earlier scholarly conjecture as well as a new interpretation and more detailed examination of these narrative devices within a much overlooked segment of Apuleius' novel. The first two chapters comprise an extensive analysis of the author's use of setting and ecphraseis with particular focus upon the following: the structural impact of and the manner in which these two elements are integrated within both Cupid and Psyche and the Metamorphoses as a whole (for example, parallels, links and prefiguration), their vividness or otherwise and how this is portrayed, the methods by which Apuleius employs setting and descriptions to colour mood and atmosphere and point up analogies and/or antitheses, as well as the significance which the two aspects play in conveying major semes and thematic threads throughout the narrative. The latter two chapters focus upon Apuleius' methods of characterization, including an examination of the minor and principal characters' actions, spoken words and thoughts, authorial intrusions and judgements, set descriptions, the significance of names or their absence, antitheses and/or analogies between characters and between characters and their environments. Characters' roles and narrative functions are also examined at length. The analyses have been undertaken in conjunction with both modem narratological methods and traditional classical methods of text analysis. This dissertation furthers knowledge about Apuleius' narrative techniques, and demonstrates his careful attention to structure, style, the impact of characters and the importance borne by set descriptions. It also contributes, therefore, to our knowledge of the ancient novel and narratology in general. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Characterization in Apuleius' Cupid and Psyche EpisodeElford, Juanita 04 1900 (has links)
<p>This dissertation is a careful study of characterization in the Cupid and Psyche episode (IV.28 - VI.24) in Apuleius’ <em>Metamorphoses</em>. In general, although the <em>Metamorphoses</em> has been the subject of a good deal of scholarly interest as of late, there has previously been minimal focused examination of characterization in the Cupid and Psyche section. This dissertation therefore represents an important contribution to current scholarship and uses a multi-faceted approach which includes investigation of the characters’ relationships to one another, roles, function, speech, intertextual connections, and questions of genre and authorial technique.</p> <p>After a brief discussion of preliminaries such as the scope of the study, methodology, and the isolation of the Cupid and Psyche narrative from the rest of the novel, Chapter One examines the minor characters of the episode. The minor characters are defined and then placed into five groups for analysis: the invisible servants, the personifications of the abstract concepts, the floral and faunal characters, the animate object, and the deities. Chapter Two addresses the role of Psyche’s family in the narrative, covering her parents’ small but important contribution and her sisters in their larger role as Psyche’s secondary adversaries. Chapters Three, Four, and Five investigate the characterization of Venus, Cupid, and Psyche respectively. The Conclusion summarizes the larger picture of Apuleius and his approach to characterization and reviews some of his favorite techniques of characterization, as well as his approach to the characterization of females.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Développements méthodologiques pour l'analyse d'équilibres conformationnels par résonance magnétique nucléaire / Methodological developments for the analysis of conformational equilibrium by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.Aloui, Ghada 18 July 2019 (has links)
La résonance magnétique nucléaire est une technique de choix pour étudier la dynamique de l'échange dans des composés à portée thérapeutique. Cependant, les spectres acquis avec les méthodes 1D et 2D classiques présentent souvent des recouvrements importants, ce qui rend l'attribution de chaque espèce en échange difficile. Le développement méthodologique d'une approche pure shift permettrait donc d'améliorer la résolution de ces données. Au cours de cette thèse, nous avons effectué une série de développements méthodologiques des expériences de type EXSY dans lesquelles nous avons mis en œuvre différentes méthodes de découplage homonucléaire. En particulier, deux approches ont été testées: la méthode PSYCHE appliqué aux dimensions F1 et F2 des cartes EXSY, et la méthode Zangger-Sterk en F2. Ces approches ont toutes mené à une amélioration significative de la résolution qui nous a permis de caractériser les deux conformères s-cis/s-trans du Trandolapril. Nous avons également étudié l’intérêt de la technique d'échantillonnage non-uniforme (NUS) du signal pour réduire le temps d'analyse. Cette approche nous a permis de gagner en temps d'analyse, mais la présence d'artefacts à certaines températures suggère que d'autres développements seront encore nécessaires. Ces résultats ouvrent la voie vers une analyse plus fine du processus d’échange dans des composés présentant un spectre RMN complexe. / Nuclear magnetic resonance is a technique of choice for studying chemical exchange in therapeutic compounds. However, spectra acquired with standard 1D and 2D methods often show spectra with overlapping signals, which makes the assignment of each species difficult. Methodological development of a pure shift approach would therefore make it possible to improve the resolution of these data. During this thesis, we carried out a series of developments of the EXSY type experiments in which we implemented different homonuclear decoupling methods. Two approaches were tested: the PSYCHE method applied to the F1 and F2 dimensions of EXSY maps, and the Zangger-Sterk method in F2. These approaches all led to a significant resolution improvements allowing us to characterize the s-cis/ s-trans conformers in Trandolapril. We have also studied the interest of the non-uniform sampling (NUS) technique to reduce the analysis time. This approach allowed us to accelerate the experiment, but the presence of artifacts at various temperatures suggests that further developments will still be needed. These results pave the way for more analysis of the exchange process in compounds with complex NMR spectrum.

Psychologická příprava ve sportovní střelbě / Psychological preparation in sport shootingLedecká, Kateřina January 2013 (has links)
Title: Psychological preparation in sport shooting Objectives: The objective of this thesis is usage of psychological preparation by sport shooting representation team in Czech Republic. How they are informed about psychological preparation. What it means to them. Which types of regulation they use and how they behave before and after a competition. Methods: A Questionnaire was used as a method for data obtaining. The questionnaire was compiled for the purposes of this Thesis. The researched group contained sport shooting athletes from Czech Republic representation team. Results: The results of the research showed that sport shooters think the psychological preparation is very useful. Unfortunately only half of respondents use it. The most popular psychological regulators are verbal activity, concentration and music. Key words: Sport shooting, sport training, psychological preparation, psychological regulators, emotions
