Esses tipos de categorização são encontrados, por exemplo, nas obras de Benévolo (1960), de Mindlin (1956) e de Bruand (1971). Foi observado, nesta pesquisa, que a historiografia da arquitetura moderna no Brasil enfatiza, sobretudo, a classificação por arquiteto. Nenhum dos livros pesquisados utilizou critérios morfológicos para categorizar os edifícios. Objetivando propor uma nova abordagem para o estudo da arquitetura moderna brasileira, este trabalho apresenta uma classificação de obras arquitetônicas baseada em critérios morfológicos. Neste trabalho a gramática da forma (shape grammar), desenvolvida na década de 70 por George Stiny e James Gips, foi utilizada para caracterizar uma classe específica de edifícios. Para este exercício foi escolhido um pequeno conjunto composto por apenas seis obras, duas do arquiteto Oscar Niemeyer, duas de Affonso Eduardo Reidy e duas de João Vilanova Artigas, das décadas de 40 e 50, que possuem como característica comum a presença de fachadas inclinadas. Essas obras possivelmente influenciaram diversas obras similares posteriores. A partir da análise desse pequeno corpus de obras, foram inferidas regras de composição que, quando aplicadas na ordem correta, permitem reproduzi-las. Por meio da aplicação das regras da gramática desenvolvida seria possível gerar, também, alguns projetos desenvolvidos posteriormente aos do conjunto analisado, enquanto que, para outros, seria necessário acrescentar algumas regras novas. A aplicação dessas regras permite ainda a geração de novas composições contendo as mesmas características principais das obras analisadas. O objetivo da aplicação da gramática da forma na caracterização de edifícios neste trabalho tem o intuito de proporcionar uma oportunidade de compreensão aprofundada dos processos de composição do tipo de edifício escolhido, com vistas a possíveis aplicações pedagógicas e projetuais desse procedimento. / Abstract: The historiography of Brazilian and international modern architecture has traditionally proposed categorization based mainly in periods, regions, function, external influences, schools and architects. These types of categorization are found, for example, in the works of Benévolo (1960), Mindlin (1956) and Bruand (1971). It has been observed, in the present study, that the historiography of modern architecture in Brazil emphasizes, in particular, classification by architect. Morphology is seldom used to categorize the buildings. Aiming to propose a new approach to the categorization of Brazilian modern architecture, this work proposes a classification of architectural works based on specific morphological criteria. In this work the shape grammar formalism, developed in the 70's by George Stiny and James Gips, was used to characterize a particular class of buildings. For this exercise a small set of buildings was chosen, composed by two buildings designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer, two by Affonso Eduardo Reidy, and two by John Vilanova Artigas, in the 40's and 50's. The six buildings have as a common feature the presence of sloping façades. These buildings have possibly influenced several subsequent works. From the analysis of that small body of buildings, composition rules have been inferred. When applied in the right order, the rules can reproduce them. The application of the rules of the grammar can also generate some similar projects developed later by other architects, and new, original compositions as well. The shape grammar developed provided an opportunity to clearly understand the process of design of the buildings in the corpus. Further work will include studying the possible applications of the grammar in education, as a design method. / Mestrado / Arquitetura e Construção / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

This dissertation studies the reaction of trading behavior of investors, especially institutional investors, to the public information in Taiwan. Two kinds of public information are chosen in this dissertation. One is open-ending closed-end funds under the regulation set up by Taiwan authority. The other is the change of stocks in MSCI Taiwan Index that is decided by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), a well-known foreign institution in constructing various indices. Consistent with earlier studies using U.S. data, our results show that open-ending is a wealth-enhancing event for shareholders. We also provide evidence of the existence of noise traders in the closed-end fund market. The evidence is derived from the trading behavior of domestic institutional investors and small individual investors, who ignore price discounts when open-ending is imminent. The trading by noise traders impedes price adjustments to the discounts, and provides profit opportunities to arbitragers. Furthermore, we show that foreign investors gain considerable wealth, largely at the expense of domestic institutional investors and small individual investors, in the open-ending process. On average, their gains account for 30% of the total gains associated with open-ending, or NT$562 millions per case. On the issue of the change of stocks in MSCI Taiwan Index, we find that MSCI prefers to select the securities with good performance, high liquidity, and large firm size into MSCI Taiwan Index while tends to drop the securities with poor performance, lower liquidity, and small firm size from MSCI Taiwan Index. Besides, consistent with the previous studies, prices increase (decrease) significantly for stocks added to (deleted from) the MSCI Taiwan Index after the announcement date. As well as the deletions, the price decreases for unchanging stocks after the announcement date. However, there is no evidence to find that foreign investors have information advantage in MSCI news over domestic investors. Foreign investors increase (decrease) their holdings on stocks included in (excluded from) the MSCI Taiwan Index after the announcement date. Moreover, price pressure hypothesis is not supported. Visibility hypothesis, information content hypothesis, downward sloping demand curves hypothesis are supported. Finally, for additions and deletions, the market-adjusted returns are driven by the contemporaneous excess buy of foreign investors and the contemporaneous excess sells of domestic corporations and individuals.

Purpose: When introducing new construction standards arises some uncertainties due to overlapping with the old construction standards. Because of these uncertainties’ roofs have collapsed due to excessive snow loads. To ensure a safe workplace for companies responsible for snow removal, accepted means in connection with snow removal and the work environment will be studied. The final goal is to find and study new methods to make the work safer and more efficient. Method: The work contains both qualitative and quantitative data. The method is a case study with the data collection techniques measurement, observation, personal communication and document and literature study. All of these are necessary to be able to answer the questions and achieve the goal. Findings: The techniques used today regarding snow removal give a good result, but the majority are very time-consuming and risky for the employers who perform the work on the roofs. Several new techniques and means have been described that would be able to perform the same work in a more efficient and sustainable way seen from a work environment point of view. Implications: To limit the time spent on the roof would contribute to a safer workplace. Today there are several means and techniques that after being installed, can operate, and remove snow on its own. This would be safe and efficient. The only danger for the staff is when installing and maintenance. Limitations: The report is limited by the fact that not all types of roofs have been examined. The study focuses on roofs that are within a snow zone of 2.5 kN/m2 or lower. Keywords: Snow removal, working environment, low-sloping roofs, handle snow loads. / Syfte: Överlappningar när nya konstruktionsregler tagits fram har skapat osäkerhet kring dimensioneringar och tyvärr lett till att takras uppstår på grund av allt för stora snölaster. För att skapa en tryggare arbetsplats för företag som ansvarar för snöröjning kommer vedertagna hjälpmedel och tekniker i samband med snöröjning och hur arbetsmiljön ser ut vid pågående arbete studeras. Slutligen är målet att studera nya metoder som bidrar till ett effektivare och säkrare arbete. Metod: Arbetet består av både kvalitativa och kvantitativa data. Metoden som användas är fallstudie med datainsamlingsteknikerna mätning, observation, personlig kommunikation och litteraturstudie. Alla datainsamlingsteknikerna är nödvändiga för att kunna besvara frågeställningarna och uppnå målet. Resultat: Teknikerna som är vedertagna idag gällande snöröjning ger ett bra resultat men majoriteten är mycket tidskrävande och riskfyllda för personer som utför arbetet. Främst när det gäller arbetsmomenten som utförs uppe på tak. Flera nya tekniker och hjälpmedel har redovisats som skulle bidra till att företag kan utföra samma arbete på ett sätt som anses betydligt effektivare och mer hållbart ur arbetsmiljösynpunkt. Konsekvenser: Ett minskat arbete på tak skulle bidra till en säkrare arbetsplats. Det finns flertalet tekniker och hjälpmedel ute på marknaden som efter viss installation skulle kunna utföra snöröjningen på egen hand, vilket innebär en effektivisering. Detta innebär också att den enda risken som finns för personal är vid installation och underhåll och därmed är arbetsmiljön så säker som är möjligt. Begränsningar: Rapporten begränsas av att inte alla typer av tak undersökts. Studien fokuserar på tak som finns inom snözon 2,5 kN/m2 eller lägre. Nyckelord: Snöröjning, arbetsmiljö, låglutande tak, hantering snölaster.
