A hipótese levantada é de que a teatralidade na obra de Sherman se evidencia pelo conjunto de suas fotografias, que revelam o jogo de transformação da auto-imagem da artista. O texto se divide em duas partes: a primeira, separada em dois capítulos, apresenta rapidamente artista e obra, para em seguida desenvolver, apoiada em bibliografia especializada das artes visuais, reflexões sucintas pelos auto-retratos de Sherman, através das quais se problematizam a noção de identidade na contemporaneidade, assim como a idéia de arte e artista ligado à noção de originalidade e ao caráter performático do corpo no retrato fotográfico

Além disso, efeitos da qualidade do microhabitat e da sazonalidade podem influenciar a estimativa da diversidade. 2. Nós comparamos dois métodos de amostragem de pequenos mamíferos: armadilhas de captura viva e de queda, sendo a riqueza de espécies e número de indivíduos variáveis resposta. Os levantamentos de campo foram realizados em uma área contínua de Mata Atlântica. Os efeitos das variáveis de microhabitat e da sazonalidade sobre capturabilidade também foram investigados. 3. As armadilhas de queda capturaram maior número de espécies e indivíduos durante a estação chuvosa, quando comparadas com armadilhas de captura viva. Portanto, as armadilhas de queda foram o melhor método para estimar a riqueza e abundância de pequenos mamíferos, principalmente de espécies semi-fossoriais. 4. Nossos resultados mostraram a importância de considerar o esforço amostral despendido em armadilhas de captura vida e de queda ao se comparar a eficiência de captura entre elas. O uso da abundância relativa resolveu problemas de sub e de superestimativa da capturabilidade em cada tipo de armadilha. 5. Embora o microhabitat seja considerado um importante fator que pode influenciar o número de indivíduos em determinada área de estudo, não encontramos influência do mesmo na capturabilidade de armadilhas de captura viva e de queda na comunidade de pequenos mamíferos. No entanto, verificamos que as estações de captura que apresentaram maior área basal de samambaias e de árvores mortas capturaram mais indivíduos de Brucepattersonius soricinus, Oligoryzomys nigripes e Akodon montensis. 6. Concluímos, portanto que a maioria dos inventários de pequenos mamíferos em regiões tropicais não conseguiu captar a riqueza... / 1onventional traps are widely used in studies of non-volant small mammals, but usually lead to sampling bias. Also, microhabitat quality and seasonality effects may influence the estimate of diversity. 2. We compared two small mammal sampling methods: live and pitfall traps. Species richness and number of individuals were our response variables, and field surveys were carried out in a continuous area of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Effects of microhabitat variables and seasonality on trappability were also investigated. 3. Pitfall traps captured more number of species and more individuals during the wet season, when compared with live traps. Therefore, pitfall-traps were a better method for estimating the richness and abundance of small mammals, especially semi-fossorial species. 4. Our results showed the importance of considering the sampling effort dispended in live and pitfall traps when comparing the capture efficiency between them. The use of weighted abundance solved trappability problems of underestimation and overestimation in each trap type to capture small mammals. 5. Although the microhabitat is considered an important factor that can influence the number of individuals in the study area, we found no influence of microhabitat on trappability of live and pitfall traps on small mammal community. However, we found that the trap stations with higher basal area of dead trees and ferns captured more individuals of Brucepattersonius soricinus, Oligoryzomys nigripes, and Akodon montensis. 6. We conclude that most small mammal inventories in tropical regions failed to capture the true species richness. Several species considered “rare” and underlisted as data deficient in IUCN criterion could be in fact common

Urban development and human encroachment on the natural habitats along the coastline of Florida combined with invasive exotic pressures have resulted in the fragmentation and degradation of habitat quality within Broward County. Native habitats have been significantly altered and fragmented to a fraction their previous size. With loss of habitat area and quality, isolation of breeding populations and anthropogenic pressures, it is important to determine species composition and habitat utilization in order to conserve the remaining biological diversity. It was the intent of this study to determine the small mammal species’ population structure and habitat utilization by season in the four sampled habitats. Previously undocumented species and/or extralimital populations were predicted prior to sampling. John U. Lloyd Beach State Park in Dania Beach, Florida is an understudied location for small mammals. This study surveyed four terrestrial habitats for small mammal species using live trapping and mark/recapture techniques. Data were collected monthly over the span of thirteen months to determine habitat use from maritime hammock, mangrove swamp, coastal dune and ruderal habitat types to determine species composition and mass of individual captures and recaptures. Trapping (3749 trap nights) produced twenty-four captures (including recaptures) in two of the four habitat types: maritime hammock and coastal strand. No animals were captured in the mangrove swamp or ruderal habitats, both of which were dominated by invasive Australian pine (Casuarina equisetifolia) monocultures. Post study, a large habitat restoration project restored the habitats impacted by invasive exotic flora. This survey serves as a baseline for small mammals in the park, documenting the pre-restoration habitat use and species composition. Future study to determine changes in species composition post-restoration is recommended.

This thesis takes a closer look at the phenomena of taste in relation to kitsch, art and luxury, analyzing a visual campaign, by the luxury brand Louis Vuitton. The visual campaign is made by Louis Vuitton to promote a collaboration with the postmodern artist Cindy Sherman. In her art Cindy Sherman is stepping away from modern aesthetics turning towards nostalgia and, anti- elitism. In a provocative act she brings in traits of kitsch and other pop cultural references to her art and exposes it to a conflicted art world. Using the well accommodated theoretical framework by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, I seek to understand the underlying class related aspects of taste occurring in the collaboration between the two. In doing so I investigate the very use of Pierre Bourdieu’s theories it self, and I look to answer how these can help with revelation in a contemporary context. Later the use of Roland Barthes theories on modern myths, will be brought into play, when I shell decode the overall mythical story on taste, that Louis Vuitton, wishes to communicate through the campaign. It shell be concluded that Pierre Bourdieu’s theories, was very helpfull with pointing out the campaigns connection to cultural capital and different classified expressions of taste, that connects it to a growing middelclass, who wants an access to the world of luxury. In the very end I debate the question of taste looking forward, taking into consideration Bourdieu’s critics, to whom the classification of taste is a relic from the past.

Konkurrenslagstiftningarna i USA och EU är ledande på konkurrensområdet i världen idag. Förbudet mot missbruk av dominerande ställning i artikel 102 FEUF och monopolistisk maktposition i section 2 Sherman Act, utgör en central del av de konkurrensrättsliga regelverken i EU och USA. Reglerna delar många likheter, men de skiljer sig åt till viss del angående reglernas syfte, formulering samt hur de tillämpas av konkurrensmyndigheter och domstolar. Den ökande digitaliseringen i samhället, i kombination med teknisk utveckling, har skapat en ny form av marknader, så kallade new economy industries, som skiljer sig åt från traditionella marknader. De nya digitala marknaderna saknar geografiska begränsningar och kännetecknas av innovation som konkurrensmässig drivkraft. Google är den mest använda digitala sökmotorn i EU och USA. Bolaget har varit under utredning av konkurrensmyndigheterna i båda rättsordningar sedan år 2010. Genom att främja sina egna tjänster i sökresultaten, anklagas Google för att hindra konkurrerande aktörer från att beträda marknaden och därmed hämma konkurrensen. Det är första gången som artikel 102 FEUF och section 2 Sherman Act tillämpas på en sökmotor. De traditionella verktyg som konkurrensmyndigheterna använder sig av vid utredningar enligt artikel 102 FEUF och section 2 Sherman Act, går dock inte att applicera tillfredsställande på digitala marknader. De konkurrensrättsliga regelverken i EU och USA har inte anpassats efter de digitala marknadernas särskilda förutsättningar, vilket skapar en osäkerhet kring konkurrensrättens effektivitet. Skillnaderna mellan rättsordningarnas tillämpning av artikel 102 FEUF och section 2 Sherman Act på Googles agerande, grundar sig således främst på de digitala marknadernas särskilda förutsättningar och det osäkra rättsläget. En reformering av de konkurrensrättsliga regelverken i EU och USA är därför nödvändig, för att säkerställa att digitala marknader i framtiden kan regleras ur ett konkurrensrättsligt perspektiv.
