Ten experiments examined the interactions between vision and audition in stimulusdriven spatial attention orienting and inhibition of return (IOR). IOR is the demonstration that subjects are slower to respond to stimuli that are presented at a previously stimulated location. In each experiment, subjects made go/no-go responses to peripheral targets but not to central targets. On every trial, a target was preceded by a sensory event, called a "cue," either in the same modality (intramodal conditions) or in a different modality (crossmodal conditions). The cue did not predict the location of the target stimulus in any experiment. In some experiments, the cue and target modalities were fixed and different. Under these conditions, response times to a visual target were shorter when it appeared at the same location as an auditory cue than when it appeared on the opposite side of fixation, particularly at short (100 ms) cue-target stimulus onset asynchronies (Experiments 1A and IB). Similarly, response times to an auditory target were shorter when it appeared at the same location as a visual cue than when it appeared at a location on the opposite side of fixation (Experiments 2A and 2B). These crossmodal effects indicate that stimulus-driven spatial attention orienting might arise from a single supramodal brain mechanism. IOR was not observed in either crossmodal experiment indicating that it might arise from modality specific mechanisms. However, for many subjects, IOR did occur between auditory cues and visual targets (Experiments 3A and 3B) and between visual cues and auditory targets (Experiment 4A and 4B) when the target could appear in the same modality as the cue on half of the trials. Finally, the crossmodal effects of stimulus-driven spatial attention orienting on auditory and visual event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were examined in the final two experiments. Auditory cues modulated the ERPs to visual targets and visual cues modulated the ERPs to auditory targets, demonstrating that the mechanisms for spatial attention orienting cannot be completely modality specific. However, these crossmodal ERP effects were very different from each other indicating that the mechanisms for spatial attention orienting cannot be completely shared. / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate

O conceito de família de cidades relaciona-se à implantação de novas infra-estruturas em áreas urbanas, como resposta às exigências do mercado para uma produção moderna. Sugerimos a importância da indústria têxtil no contexto geral da industrialização brasileira até os dias atuais, e procuramos mostrar as alterações ocorridas em sua distribuição espacial pelo território brasileiro, no período de 1960 a 2000. Diversos segmentos compõem o setor têxtil (produção de fibras e filamentos, fiação, tecelagem plana, malharia e acabamento/beneficiamento) e, recentemente no Brasil, observamos um processo de concentração produtiva e especialização nesses segmentos. Abordamos a atuação de empresas pertencentes a grandes grupos multinacionais na produção têxtil brasileira, assim como a reorganização produtiva desses grupos em nível mundial, especialmente na produção de fibras e filamentos têxteis de origem química. Também enfocamos a agroindústria algodoeira, com a atuação de grandes grupos, e o segmento integrado de fiação/tecelagem, com a liderança de grandes grupos nacionais têxteis. Especificamente em relação à mencionada família de cidades, sugerimos a importância da atividade têxtil na dinamização econômica dos dois circuitos da economia urbana. No decorrer da pesquisa, observamos a continuidade, a diversificação, bem como a intensificação da atuação de forças externas sobre essa família de cidades têxteis / Abstract: The present study searched to comprehend the externa I forces actuation on the process of formation and actual organization of the family of the textile cities composed by Americana, Nova Odessa, Santa Bárbara d'Oeste and Sumaré, situated in the State of São Paulo. The concept of family of cities concems to the implantation of new substructure in urban areas, as a response to the mercantile exigencies for a modem production. We suggested the importance of the textile industry in the general context of the brazilian industrialization up to the present days, and aimed to show the alterations occurred in its spacial distribution through the brazilian territory, from 1960 to 2000. Different segments compose the textile sector (production of fibers and filaments, wiring, plain texture, hosiery and finishing/refining) and, recently in Brazil, we can observe a process of concentration of production and specialization in these segments. We also set to discussion the influence of companies which belong to big intemational groups on the brazilian textile production, as well as the worldwide productive reorganization of these groups, in special in the production of textile fibers and filaments of chemical origino We focussed as well the cotton agricultural industry, with the action of big groups, and the integrated segment of wiring/weaving, with the leadership of big national textile groups. Specifically related to the mentioned family of cities, we suggested the importance of textile activity on the economic dynamism of both circuits of the urban economy. During the study, we observed the continuity, the diversification as well as the intensification of extemal forces actuation on these family of textile cities / Mestrado / Análise Ambiental e Dinâmica Territorial / Mestre em Geografia

This research aims to measure the contribution of public investment in transport and communications infrastructure to economic growth in the regions of Peru. This is done on the basis of different estimations using panel data for the 24 regions of Peru, over the period 2004- 2014. First, a conventional fixed-effect panel data method is used for the estimations, whereby investment in transport and communications infrastructure is found to have a positive effect on GDP and GDP per worker in the regions. Then, a spatial panel data methodology is followed, which takes into account the direct effects of investment in infrastructure within a region, as well as the indirect effects that occur between regions. Here, the results suggest that investment in transportation has a direct positive effect on regional GDP, while investment in communications contributes to GDP indirectly. / La presente investigación busca el aporte de la inversión pública en infraestructura de transportes y comunicaciones sobre el crecimiento económico de las regiones del Perú. Esto se realiza sobre la base de diversas estimaciones con datos de panel para las 24 regiones del Perú en el periodo 2004-2014. En primer lugar, para las estimaciones se usa una metodología convencional de datos de panel con efectos fijos. Se encuentra un aporte positivo de la inversión en infraestructura de transportes y comunicaciones sobre el PBI y el PBI por trabajador de las regiones. Luego, se sigue una metodología espacial de datos de panel, la cual toma en cuenta los efectos directos de la inversión en infraestructura dentro de una región, así como los efectos indirectos que ocurren entre regiones. Los resultados sugieren que la inversión en transportes afecta positivamente el PBI regional de forma directa, mientras que la inversión en comunicaciones aporta al PBI de manera indirecta.

Broad personality or global traits are unlikely to assist in solving capital crimes, so forensic psychologists have begun to focus on characteristics of the crime to create differentiating profiles. The purpose of this study was to determine if offender and victim characteristics and method of murder could provide cluster profiles differentiating familial relationship between offender and victim. Guided by classical conditioning theory and social learning theory, an archival database of 147 capital offenders responsible for 506 victims was analyzed. Cluster analysis yielded 3 distinct profiles. Compared to other clusters, Cluster 1 offenders tended to be Black and unfamiliar with their victims, who tended to be male between 20 and 50 years old that were typically shot. Cluster 2 offenders tended to be White and familiar with their typically female victims under the age of 20 who they typically murdered by use of blunt force or strangulation. Cluster 3 offenders were distinguished from the other 2 clusters only by having accounted for 90.6% of all victims who were stabbed, but no other associations with variables in the data set were discovered to explain this finding. Though limited in sample size, range of variables, and supplemental insights that could have been gained from case files or interviews, the results contribute to positive social change with offender-victim characteristics and method of murder profiles that begin to differentiate the familial offender-victim relationship and that future research can prospectively build on to create retrospective profiling models, which could potentially lead to resolving unsolved serial murder cases.

This thesis focuses on the current localization options of the Android mobile phone platform. It explores the possibilities of locating mobile devices not only with the use of inertial sensors, but also the possibility of localization using integrated video camera. The work describes the measurements done with available inertial sensors, introduces visual localization algorithm and design a system using these two approaches.

Les échanges dans la zone euro-méditerranéenne ont été caractérisés par une intensification des flux commerciaux au début des années 2000. A cette même période, la question migratoire a été mise en avant en raison d’une explosion de l’immigration clandestine dans les pays du sud de l’Europe. L’objectif de cette thèse est d’étudier certaines conséquences économiques actuelles de ces migrations dans le cas de France. Dans cette optique nous abordons les questions liées à la relation commerce-migrations, à la politique migratoire, et à la localisation spatiale des immigrés en France. En utilisant des données récentes et en intégrant des paramètres jusque là peu utilisés, nous mettons en évidence des caractéristiques particulières de l’immigration en France. Nous apportons également des réponses quant a` la contribution des immigrés a` la production nationale, de même qu’a` l’accroissement du commerce bilatéral avec les pays d’origine. Les implications en termes de politiques économiques se situent d’une part dans la mise en œuvre d’une facilitation des opportunités d’aaires entre la France et les pays d’origine. Cela s’impose au regard de l’impact positif de l’immigration sur le commerce bilatéral. D’autre part, les difficultés relevées au niveau des politiques migratoires appellent a` une nécessaire harmonie de ces dernières, au plan européen, pour une gestion plus efficace. Cela passe encore par une implication des pays d’origine afin de faciliter l’immigration légale, et limiter les entrées clandestines. Enfin, la localisation spatiale des immigrés indique que leur concentration dans les pôles régionaux a un impact négatif sur leur contribution `a la production. La réponse peut se situer dans une analyse détaillée de la structure et du processus d’intégration des populations immigrés / The Euro-Mediterranean trade has grown up a lot in the early 2000. At the same time, the migration issue has been highlighted due to an explosion of illegal immigration in the Southern Europe countries. The aim of this thesis is to study some current economic impact this immigration in the French case. We address the issues of trade and migration relationship, migration policy, and spatial location of immigrants in France. Using recent data and shaping factors little used empirically, we highlight the specific characteristics of immigration in France. We also provide explanations to the contribution of immigrants to the domestic, as well as increasing bilateral trade with the country. In terms of economic policies, it lies firstly in the implementation of facilitating business opportunities between France and the countries of origin. This is necessary to take more profit from the positive impact of immigration on bilateral trade. On the other hand, problems identified in migration policies call for a necessary harmony of policies, at European level, for more effective management. Such objectives require the involvement of countries of origin to facilitate legal migration, and limit illegal entries. Finally, the spatial location of immigrants indicates that their concentration at regional level has a negative impact on their contribution to production. The solution may lie in a detailed analysis of the structure, and the integration of immigrant populations’ process.

Verificou-se a ocorrência dos teores totais e disponíveis de mercúrio nos sedimentos de fundo e em suspensão, e de mercúrio total em amostras de lambari (Astianax altiparanae) capturadas no ribeirão Guamium, bacia do rio Piracicaba, S.P. As concentrações foram correlacionadas aos diferentes usos dos solos limítrofes à bacia; pequena ocupação urbana com uso agrícola no distrito de Tanquinho (à montante), agrícola (médio-Guamium) e industrial (à jusante). Para tanto, foram conduzidas amostragens representativas do sedimento e da ictiofauna da bacia de drenagem nos períodos de seca e de chuva; (sedimento de fundo julho de 2008 e março de 2009) (sedimento em suspensão mar/2009); (peixes setem/2005 e fever/2006). As amostras de sedimentos de malha inferior a 0,063 mm foram solubilizadas em água-régia (3HCl + 1HNO3), as amostras de peixe foram liofilizadas e digeridas em solução nitro-sulfo-perclórica, em sistemas abertos de decomposição. A determinação de Hg nos extratos foi conduzida por espectrometria de fluorescência atômica (AFS), estando o intervalo de concentração de Hg total nos sedimentos de fundo, para o período de seca, entre 0,040 a 0,105 mg kg-1 Hg e disponível entre 0,018 e 0,064 mg kg-1. Neste mesmo substrato, para o período de chuvas, esse teor apresentou concentrações entre 0,54 a 0,13 mg kg-1 Hg e disponível de 0,010 a 0,052 mg kg-1. Em relação aos sedimentos em suspensão (época chuvosa), os teores de Hg estiveram entre 0,040 a 0,120 mg kg-1 e o disponível em 0,028 a 0,081 mg kg-1. Para a ictiofauna, cujo comprimento variou de 44 a 135 mm, o teor de Hg esteve entre 0,18 e 1,90 mg kg-1 Hg. Os valores de Hg encontrados nos substratos peixe e sedimentos (total e biodisponível) foram correlacionados com parâmetros físico-químicos do meio como, temperatura, pH, condutividade e oxigênio dissolvido da água. Para o sedimento, através dos valores de Eh e pH, construiu-se diagrama de estabilidade para o elemento mercúrio. Complementa-se a abordagem biogeoquímica do estudo, avaliando-se a influência do uso do solo no meio hídrico, através da determinação de \'delta\'13C nos sedimentos amostrados ao longo da bacia hidrográfica / There was the occurrence of total and available mercury in bottom sediments, suspended and total mercury in samples Astyanax altiparanae seizure in the river Guamium, Piracicaba river basin, SP. Concentrations were correlated to different uses land adjacent to the basin, a small urban and agricultural use, the district of Tanquinho (upstream) of the city of Piracicaba, agriculture (medium Guamium) and industrial (downstream). Representative sampling, of the sediment and the fish fauna of the drainage basin were conducted during periods of drought and rain, (bottom sediment in july 2008 and march 2009) (suspended sediment mar/2009) (fish septem/2005 and feb/2006). Samples of sediment less than 0.063 mm mesh were dissolved in 3HCl with 1HNO3, the fish samples were freeze dry and digested in solution, sulfo-nitro-perchloric, in open systems. The determination of Hg in the extracts was conducted by atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS), while the concentration range of total Hg in bottom sediments for the period of drought between 0.040 to 0.105 mg kg-1 Hg and available between 0,018 and 0.064 mg kg-1. In the same substrate, for the rainy season, this level showed concentrations between 0.54 to 0.13 mg kg-1 Hg and available from 0.010 to 0.052 mg kg-1. Regarding the suspended sediments (rainy season), the concentrations of Hg were between 0.040 to 0.120 mg kg-1 and available in 0.028 to 0.081 mg kg-1. For the fishes, whose length ranged 44-135 mm Hg content was between 0.18 and 1.90 mg kg-1 Hg. Values of Hg found in fish and sediment substrates (total and bioavailable), were correlated with physicochemical parameters of the medium as, temperature, pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen from the water. For the sediment through the values of Eh and pH, was constructed diagram of stability for the element mercury. Evaluating the influence of land use on the aquatic environment, through the determination of \'delta\'13C in sediments sampled along the river basin

Sendo assim, interessa interrogar se o programa em estudo constitui-se em uma resposta de democratização da produção de novas moradias, com o acesso aos espaços e serviços urbanos, mediante financiamento público e com a remoção dos obstáculos impostos pelo mercado. A pesquisa é delineada por um estudo de caso que mescla, paralelamente, pesquisa de campo com os moradores do residencial Mauá II e pesquisa documental. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados foram: observação de campo e entrevistas. Para compreender os diferentes conteúdos que constituem a temática de estudo, este trabalho foi estruturado em eixos teórico-analíticos que contemplam a questão da segregação social como elemento configurador das desigualdades sociais reproduzidas no espaço urbano. Incide sobre a temática das políticas públicas, onde é abordada a relação entre sociedade civil e Estado, além de reconstruir a trajetória da Política Habitacional em âmbito nacional e local. Por fim, a conjugação entre teoria e empiria, que conforma e analisa a percepção dos beneficiários, gestor e técnicos. Entre os resultados, destacam-se a segregação social como desafio para romper com a desigualdade de acesso aos benefícios das diversas políticas de recorte social. O modelo de produção habitacional que vem sendo implementado para a população de baixa renda não renovou profundamente aspectos do urbanismo conforme a nova demanda, fragilizando a rede de serviços e o próprio espaço urbano. Foi observado um importante avanço na história da política habitacional, porém é preciso ficar atento para a interferência das construtoras, pois estas, alavancadas pela financeirização imobiliária, acabam desempenhando um papel decisivo na execução do programa. / This dissertation is a result of a research that aimed to analyze the current housing policy developed in the city of São Leopoldo, throughthe implementation e execution of housing projects, taking into consideration an unequal occupation of urban spaces, perceived by beneficiariesand managers, regarding to Minha Casa Minha Vida project.That said, matters to ask, if the program subjected to this study, is a good answer for democratization of the production of new housing, with access to urban spaces and services, through public funding and by removing barriers imposed by market. The research is outlined by a case study that mixes, at the same time, field research with the residents of Residencial Mauá II and documentary research. The methodological procedures used were: field observation and interviews. To understand the different contents that compose the theme of this study this workwas structured in theoretical-analitical categories that comprehend the question of social segregation as a configuration element of the social differences reproduced in urban space.It focuses on the thematic of public policy, where the relation between civil society and state is approached while reconstructing the track of housing policy both in national and local ranges. Finally, the union between theory and empiricism, which conforms and analyzesthe perception of beneficiaries, managers and technicians. Among the results, stands out social segregation as a challenge to break with unequal access to the benefits of many social policies. The pattern of housing production being used for the low-income population did not renew aspects of urbanism asmuch as the new demand, weakening the network services and the urban space itself. It was observed and important advance in the history of housing policy, nevertheless it is important to pay attention in the interference of building companies, that leveraged by real state financialization, play a decisive role in the project execution.
