Nevertheless, Pentecostal Movement institutionalization began to segregate women, restricting her operations to subordinate ecclesiastical services. Women were relegated to oblivion. However, the hegemony of male power has not stopped the women to create their own networks of meaning in the Pentecostal churches, by the women's societies that works as territories for socialization and humanization, usually in situations of high social vulnerability. This research aims to visualize and discuss these social and meaning construction networks. The object of this research is micro-social networks composed and led by Pentecostal women. The research method used was the Oral History, which was very useful to understand, by interviews, how they constitute the webs, plots, interactions and networks through flow the solidarity among women and the legitimization of power that own Pentecostal women reach and enjoy in these micro-networks. We tried to let women speak for themselves. With time and the voice, the Pentecostal women! / Desde o surgimento do Movimento Pentecostal, mulheres tiveram participação ativa e fundamental para a consolidação do Movimento. Entretanto, com sua institucionalização, o Movimento Pentecostal passou a segregar as mulheres, restringindo sua atuação a funções eclesiais subalternas. Mulheres foram relegadas ao esquecimento. Contudo, a hegemonia do poder masculino não impediu que as mulheres criassem suas redes de sentido nas igrejas pentecostais, através de sociedades de mulheres que funcionam como espaços de socialização e humanização, geralmente em contextos de alta vulnerabilidade social. A presente pesquisa procura visibilizar e problematizar estas redes de socialização e de produção de sentido. O objeto de pesquisa são essas micro-redes sociais constituídas e lideradas por mulheres pentecostais. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi o da História Oral, o qual foi muito útil para compreender, através de depoimentos, como se formam as teias, tramas, interações e redes por onde flui a solidariedade entre as mulheres e a legitimação do poder que as próprias mulheres pentecostais alcançam e usufruem nessas micros-redes. Procurou-se deixar as mulheres falarem por si mesmas. Com a vez e a voz, as mulheres pentecostais!

This thesis is about ‘military manuals’ produced in the first few centuries of the Roman imperial period. It argues that these texts merit far more attention and appreciation than they have received in the scholarship so far. I will explore areas such as the way in which their authors order and rank Greek and Roman knowledge, engage with ideas about knowledge and power, help construct identity and discuss ethics and behavior. In the first chapter I will determine whether the authors operate within a specific ‘genre’, or ‘genres’, of military writing. Then I will explore how the texts relate to other traditions of technical texts, questions of audience, and finally the issue of their practicality. The second chapter will examine how authors tackle the issue of ‘Greek’ and ‘Roman’ knowledge, categorize, rank and use it for self-promotion. We will see how Roman knowledge is both subverted but also praised, and how Greek knowledge is at the same time placed above Roman knowledge and integrated into a narrative of continuity with it. The third chapter will focus on the use of Greek knowledge in the construction of Roman identity. I will explore how ‘manuals’ play a part in the identity of the Roman Empire, fitting into a picture of unity in diversity, and show how they contribute to Hadrian’s self-presentation. The fourth chapter will examine the ethical component in manuals. I will determine whether there was an ethical code of conduct in battle in the Classical world and whether it was different from general ethical norms. Then, we will examine whether our texts engage in any way with this ‘code’ and whether their individual approaches have anything in common or are fundamentally different.

The evolution of supply chain management has made significant and continuous contributions to logistical processes. This is highly relevant to crude oil logistics in Nigeria, because both indigenous and multinational oil companies who distribute crude oil from Nigerian ports are yet to adopt an integrated export logistics operation. Besides, the study explores the philosophy of supply chain management applying theoretic frameworks of supply chain process management, demand variability, and vertical integration to encourage integrated export logistics for the distribution of crude oil from Nigeria to China. In addition, the research objectives are: to identify the components of crude oil exports; to review the principles of integrated supply chain management; to analyse crude oil demand in China; to evaluate the efficiency of oil distribution, and to propose strategies that will raise the efficiency of crude oil exports to China from Nigeria. A conceptual model was developed to identify relevant issues that guide the synergy of China’s requirement for energy security and Nigeria’s crude oil supply capability. Also, both a Delphi survey and an archival research method’s were adopted to elucidate on the characteristics of the research population, the shipment frequencies between the two countries, and the sources of competing crude oil exports to China. Measures of central tendency from respondent feedback and non-parametric tests support the study’s findings. Furthermore, recommendations for strategic, operational, and tactical organisation of resources were identified to raise integrated crude oil export efficiency from Nigeria to China directed by the theoretic framework. Moreover, their implications for sustainable logistics practice in the short, medium, and long-term are considered. Finally, it was found that adopting vertical integration in a crude oil supply chain will ensure responsiveness to support export efficiency, and enhance the geographic characteristics of Nigeria for increased export shipments to China.

The safety of nuclear power plants is still an important topic. Protection of nuclear power plants in Czech Republic is on top level, but there is still place for improving. After the Fukushima disaster Czech Republic responded among other things with creating of new security groups on its own nuclear power plants Temelín and Dukovany. It is rescue group Delta team, specialized in heights security of buildings and Search and Rescue in case of some emergency events. Objective of this Master thesis was preparation and evaluation of practice, where specialized activities of Delta team can be tested. In this case it was ability to give first aid and safe transport of a person from height to the ground using climbing techniques. Communication was added to these tested activities because it is important in every event. The practice was planned and after obtaining of needed permission it was realized on April 1st, 2018 on the nuclear power plant Temelín. The practice was evaluated afterwards, what made objective of this Master theses complete. There is research question in this work and it is if rescue group Delta team is prepared for emergency events related to rescue works in heights. It can be answered positively. Especially the part of practice with climbing operations was precise only with little complaints. This Master thesis serves as familiarization material with the rescue group Delta team, which operates on Czech nuclear power plants. It can give basic information for example for job applicants or for persons interested in nuclear power plant security. Prepared practice can be used repeatedly with other participants or for practice of Delta team on nuclear power plant Dukovany.

Esta pesquisa disserta sobre o processo de convergência entre o espaço urbano e as mídias locativas, que forma um terceiro espaço: o espaço cíbrido. O termo cíbrido foi criado pelo arquiteto Peter Anders, para designar um meio híbrido onde se desenvolvem as práticas sociais relacionadas à cibercultura. Com a difusão da Internet 1.0 na década de 90, que ocorre a partir da venda massiva de computadores pessoais, as mais variadas vertentes do conhecimento se debruçaram sobre as implicações do surgimento de um novo lugar: o espaço virtual. Porém é especialmente entre os \'artistas digitais\' da Net.art e arquitetos que se investigou as formas de perceber, produzir e criar esteticamente este novo lugar. Uma década mais tarde, o meio virtual sofreu uma nova guinada: a difusão dos dispositivos portáteis de telecomunicação: os smartphones, acoplados com dispositivos de rastreamento, demarcação e mapeamento espacial. As práticas resultantes destas novas mídias: as mídias locativas, associam camadas informacionais aos objetos, às pessoas e aos agenciamentos em rede e localizam esta rede espacialmente. Para investigar o processo de hibridização entre a esfera informacional e o espaço, traçou-se um mapeamento de obras de arte e arquitetura que tratam especificamente deste tema. A seleção desses dois campos de conhecimento para a análise, se justifica por serem áreas correlatas que vêm promovendo mudanças paradigmáticas neste campo e trazendo contribuições essenciais para a compreensão das práticas sociais que envolvem os espaços cíbridos. Cada projeto selecionado oferece em sua especificidade, o suporte teórico, descritivo, sobre as atuais formas de convergência telemática no espaço e tensionam questões específicas desse processo de hibridização, contribuindo para o avanço do conhecimento acerca do processo de produção, apropriação e compartilhamento destas tecnologias com o espaço urbano. / This research talks about the issue and process of convergence between urban space and locative media, which form a third space: the Cybrid space. The Cybrid is a term coined by the architect Peter Anders, to designate a hybrid environment where to develop social practices related to cyberculture. With the spread of Internet 1.0 in the 90\'s, which takes place from the massive sales of personal computers, the aspects of knowledge have addressed the implications of the emergence of a new place: the virtual space. But it is especially among \'digital artists\' of Net.art and architects who investigated the ways of perceiving, producing and aesthetically create this new place. A decade later, the virtual environment has suffered a new twist: the distribution of portable telecommunication devices: smartphones, coupled with tracking devices, demarcation and spatial mapping. The resulting practices of these new media: locative media, associated informational layers to objects, people and assemblages networking and spatially locate this network. To investigate the process of hybridization between the informational sphere and space, drew up a mapping of art and architecture works that specifically address this issue. The selection of these two fields of knowledge for the analysis is justified because they are related areas that are promoting paradigmatic changes in this field and bringing essential contributions to the understanding of social practices involving cybrids spaces. Each project offers, the theoretical, descriptive support, on current forms of telematics convergence in space and tense specific issues that the hybridization process, contributing to the advancement of knowledge about the production process, ownership and sharing of these technologies urban space.

Nesta dissertação analisa-se o processo pelo qual as práticas urbanas socioespaciais colaborativas da sociedade civil agem sobre um espaço público aberto, transformando-o, pelo seu uso, em um espaço \"comum\". Estamos em um momento histórico no qual o planejamento urbano tradicional, reconhecido comumente como um processo top-down, está cada vez mais dividindo seu espaço com as práticas ditas bottom-up. Nesse sentido, este trabalho se propõe a ser um estudo do uso contemporâneo do Largo da Batata, em São Paulo, compreendendo o período do final da década de 1990 até 2017, com especial destaque para o momento em que a região teve seu acesso reaberto ao público em 2013. Público este que, por sua vez, começou a se apropriar do lugar. A investigação é sobre os processos de uso propositivo dos espaços públicos -- praças, ruas e parques -- por parte da população, tendo como objetivo a identificação de como essas práticas urbanas coletivas produzem, pelo seu uso, lugares com qualidades diversas das previamente conhecidas e mapeadas, permitindo o encontro de diferentes tipos de pessoas e de cuidado comum. Para tal, esta dissertação pretende investigar novos campos de ação dentro da profissão de urbanista, e mesmo novos métodos no que se refere ao planejamento urbano participativo e à criação de plataformas para a autogestão e a gestão compartilhada. Conclui-se que ampliar os horizontes da análise socioespacial de insurgências cidadãs no espaço público pelo olhar do urbanismo pode aproximar o debate acadêmico do ativismo cidadão e comunitário, e também contribuir para a investigação de possibilidades de colaboração entre urbanismo tradicional e urbanismos táticos, revelando um caminho do conhecimento em construção. / In this dissertation, the process of civil society\'s collaborative spatial practices influence on an open public space, transforming it into a \"common\" space, is analyzed. This is a historical moment in which traditional urban planning, recognized as a top-down process, is often divided more closely with bottom-up practices. In this sense, this work proposes to be a study of the contemporary usage of the Largo da Batata, in São Paulo, comprising the period from the late 1990s to 2017, with special emphasis on the moment when the square area was reopened to the public in 2013 - when the place was appropriated to the public. The investigation is about the processes of the usage of public spaces - squares, streets and parks - by the populace, with an objective to identify how these urban practices through the use of these places produce qualities different from those previously known and mapped, allowing the encounter of different types of people and common care. In order to do so, this work intends to investigate new fields of action within the urbanist profession, and even new methods regarding participatory urban planning and the creation of platforms for self-management and shared management. It is concluded that widening the horizons of socio-spatial analysis of citizen insurgencies in the public space through the view of urbanism can bring the academic debate closer to citizen and community activism, and also contribute to the investigation of possibilities of collaboration between traditional urbanism and tactical urbanisms, revealing a path of knowledge under construction.

[pt] A presente dissertação é fruto de uma investigação sobre formas e possibilidades de atuação política na cidade contemporânea. Em contraponto direto à crise de projeto e da representatividade política instaurada na contemporaneidade, as ações de urbanismo tático pareciam inicialmente responder aos anseios desta investigação. Tratam-se de atos apropriativos e de ativação de espaços da cidade movidos pelas próprias populações. Mas uma análise dos discursos políticos produzidos pelos agentes do caso de urbanismo tático desenvolvido no Largo da Batata (SP), dão a ver a fraqueza de atos baseados na oposição entre sociedade civil e Estado. Explicitamos de que forma estas ações são atravessadas pelo poder biopolítico e pelas estruturas da cidade neoliberal. Mas se a cartografia complexa e microfísica das relações de poder contemporâneo incide sobre os corpos e vidas de todos e de cada um, então uma ação política não necessariamente deve se dar em afronta ao aparelho de Estado. Assim vemos emergir de uma miríade de práticas sua potência micropolítica, dentre elas, a arte no regime estético. Seu caráter eminentemente dissensual produz fissuras na partilha do sensível e, em contato com o espectador emancipado, possibilita a produção de singularidades, a contrapelo das experiências massificantes que predominam nas grandes cidades contemporâneas. Ao final desta dissertação nos debruçamos sobre as relações entre corpo, política e cidade nos trabalhos artísticos do coletivo Opavivará!, apresentados de forma ensaística. / [en] This dissertation is the result of an investigation about forms and possibilities of political action in the contemporary city. In direct counterpoint to the project and the political representativeness crisis established in contemporary times, the actions of tactical urbanism seemed initially to respond to the aspirations of this investigation. These acts of appropriation and activation of public spaces are put in place by the populations themselves. However a careful review of the political speeches produced by the agents of the Batata Precisa de Você, a case of tactical urbanism developed in Largo da Batata (SP), shows the weakness of any political act based on the opposition between civil society and State. We explain how these actions are crossed by biopolitical power and inscribed inside structures of the neoliberal cities. But if the complex and microphysical cartography of contemporary relations of power affects the bodies and lives of each person and everyone, then a political action does not necessarily takes place in defiance of the State apparatus. Thus we see emerge from a myriad of practices the emergence of its micro political potential, amongst them art in the aesthetic regime. Its eminently dissensual character produces cracks in the distribution of the sensible and, in contact with the emancipated spectator, enables the production of singularities, in opposition to the mass experiences that prevail in most of great contemporary cities. At the end of this dissertation we focus on the relations between body, politics and city in the artistic works of the collective Opavivará!, presented as an essay.
