Therefore, we conducted three studies seeking: (1) to systematically review the literature to verify direction and magnitude of variables related to identity; (2) characterize bioecological context parameters of high performance futsal players; and (3) analyze contextual influences on identity formation through semantic pattern associated with athletic career narrative and life story case studies. In the first study, we systematically reviewed 121 articles categorizing variables associations with identity in demographics, psychosocial support, health problems / injuries, control of life, educational status, self-perception, motivation, personal / career development, commitment sports, eating attitudes, coping strategies, retirement and burnout. Positive and negative associations were identified with specific and non-specific sport variables. In the second and third studies, we interviewed futsal athletes and coaches. In the second study we identified by characterizing athletes ecological systems, that futsal context presents elements that can instigate autonomy seeking behavior within identity expressions, but also enables the heteronomy. In third study we verified through the method of life history and network analysis, a group of athletes with narratives directed to heteronomy with life projects in the logic of instrumental action, and two other groups with narratives directed towards autonomy of their identity expression, with distinction in life projects based on identity politics or political identities. In conclusion, identity can be instigated in an emancipatory direction given context features. However, the way the futsal sport is structured greater possibilities of instrumental action are perceived in relation to success in the sport. Exterior features to the sport such as education or family influences may provide greater multiplicity of roles that result in wealth of meaning when narrating about career and identity, promoting autonomic manifestations in search of a good living / Este trabalho tem como objetivo defender a tese de que o contexto bioecológico esportivo do futsal apresenta características que podem potencializar a busca por emancipação e ao mesmo tempo atributos que favorecem a colonização da ordem sistêmica sobre as metamorfoses no processo de formação identitária. Para tanto, conduzimos três estudos buscando: (1) revisar de forma sistemática a literatura para verificar direção e magnitude da associação de correlatos a identidade; (2) caracterizar os parâmetros do contexto bioecológico dos atletas de futsal de alto rendimento; e (3) analisar a influência do contexto sobre a formação da identidade por meio do padrão semântico associado à narrativa sobre a carreira atlética e estudos de caso sobre a história de vida. No primeiro estudo, revisamos 121 artigos de forma sistemática categorizando as associações de variáveis com identidade em questões demográficas, suporte psicossocial, problemas de saúde/lesões, controle da vida, status educacional, auto-percepção, motivação, desenvolvimento pessoal/carreira, compromisso com o esporte, atitudes alimentares, estratégias de enfrentamento, aposentadoria e burnout. Associações positivas e negativas foram identificadas com variáveis específicas e não-específicas do esporte. No segundo e terceiro estudos, entrevistamos atletas de futsal e técnicos. Identificou-se no segundo estudo, ao caracterizar os sistemas ecológicos dos atletas, que o contexto do futsal apresenta elementos que podem instigar a busca de autonomia em expressões identitárias, mas também possibilita a heteronomia. O terceiro estudo identificou grupos de atletas utilizando o método da história de vida e análise em rede, com discursos direcionados à heteronomia com projetos de vida na lógica do agir instrumental, e outros dois grupos com discursos direcionados à autonomia de sua expressão identitária, com distinção em projetos de vida baseados em políticas de identidade ou identidades políticas. Conclui-se que a identidade pode ser instigada a uma direção emancipatória, dado características do contexto que possibilitem essa direção. Contudo, a forma como a modalidade do futsal se estrutura percebe-se maiores possibilidades de agir instrumental frente ao sucesso no esporte. Características externas ao esporte como estudo ou influencia familiar podem proporcionar maior multiplicidade de papéis que resultam em riqueza de sentidos ao discursar sobre carreira e identidade, favorecendo manifestações autonômicas na busca de um bom viver

This work focuses on methane and ethanol conversion to hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst in order to increase the selectivity of the desired product (H₂) and reduce carbon monoxide emission and coke formation. Two kinds of active phase were used (copper and ruthenium) and impregnated on calcined hydrotalcites CoₓMg₆₋ₓAl₂ in order to be evaluated in the methane and ethanol steam reforming reactions. For both reactions, the influence of several factors was evaluated in order to adjust the reaction parameters. It has been shown that catalysts performances for the reforming reactions depend on the content of cobalt and magnesium. High cobalt content enhanced the catalytic activity. 1Ru/Co₆Al₂ catalyst presented the highest activity and stability in the methane steam reforming reaction among the other industrial and prepared catalysts even under a low GHSV and with no hydrogen pretreatment. Reduced ruthenium and cobalt were detected after the reaction by XRD. EPR technique was able to detect negligible amount of two kinds of carbonaceous species formed during the reaction : coke and carbon. On the other hand, 5Cu/Co₆Al₂ catalyst revealed the highest hydrogen productivity in the ethanol steam reforming reaction. However, it suffers from coke formation that deactivated the catalysts after few hours. 5Cu/Co₂Mg₄Al₂ catalyst showed a much lower quantity of carbonaceous species with no deactivating during 50 hours due to the basic character of the magnesium oxide phase present in the support.

Ce travail a porté sur la conversion du méthane et de l'éthanol en hydrogène par le procédé du vaporeformage en utilisant de nouvelles formulations de catalyseurs afin d'augmenter la sélectivité en produit désiré (hydrogène), de réduire la production du monoxyde de carbone (Co) et défavoriser la formation de coke. Deux familles de phases actives, à base de cuivre et de ruthénium supportés par les hydrotalcites calcinées CoₓMg₆₋ₓAl₂, ont été évaluées dans ces réactions. Pour les deux réactions, l'influence de plusieurs facteurs a été évaluée afin d'ajuster les paramètres de la réaction. Il a été démontré que les performances des catalyseurs pour les réactions du vaporeformage dépendent de la teneur en cobalt et en magnésium.Une grande teneur en cobalt améliore la réactivité catalytique. Le catalyseur 1Ru/Co₆Al₂ a présenté la plus forte activité et stabilité dans la réaction du vaporeformage du méthane parmi les autres catalyseurs industriels et préparés. Les espèces réduites de ruthénium et du cobalt ont été détectées après la réaction par DRX. La technique RPE était capable de détecter des quantités négligeables de deux types d'espèces carbonées formées lors de la réaction : du coke et du carbone. D'autre part, le catalyseur 5Cu/Co₆Al₂ a révélé la productivité la plus élevée en hydrogène dans la réaction du vaporeformage de l'éthanol. Cependant, il se désactive après quelques heures à cause de la formation du coke. Le catalyseur 5Cu/Co₂Mg₄Al₂ a montré une quantité beaucoup plus faible d'espèces carbonées sans désactiver pendant 50 heures en raison du caractère basique de la phase de l'oxyde du magnésium présente dans le support. / This work focuses on methane and ethanol conversion to hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst in order to increase the selectivity of the desired product (H₂) and reduce carbon monoxide emission and coke formation.

This thesis describes the issue of the use of euphemisms in contemporary Russian language. It is aims to determine thematic areas in which euphemisms are used in contemporary Russian and compare it with conclusions of previous research. Another purpose of the research is determine function of euphemisms for particular thematic areas and compare frequency of incidence of euphemisms in lifestyle magazines for woman and newspaper with extensive target group. Material for the research was derived from the Russian press. Collected examples have not been used in previous studies. Based on theoretical findings thematic areas of using euphemisms and their functions were determined. Collected examples were explored from several perspectives - function, thematic areas they were used for, connection between context and perception of particular name as euphemism, description in the literature etc. One of the conclusions of this thesis is finding that there are thematic areas where euphemisms are used in contemporary Russian that have not been described in the literature. It has been determined that thematic areas of euphemisms incidence and frequency of their use were differed according to sort of periodicals they were found in. In case of frequent occurrence of particular euphemism can be regarded as its...

The rational aspect of abort Abstract The Diploma thesis "The rational aspect of abort" try to clarification rational aspect of abort. However a religious viewpoint is not the main topic of this thesis, author doesn't leave it out and one separate chapter of this work is dedicated to it. Author endeavours to find an answer whether it is possible to consider an abort to be ethical and in what conditions.
