Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Permeating analog and digital processes, this project addresses a poetic production in visual arts in the field of art and technology, which is a proposal for interventions in urban areas, with the thematic territory and inner cities elements. The study, in this regard, seeks to approach the public and urban art of rural communities, places that are, in many instances, on the fringes of contemporary artistic manifestations, usually concentrated in the major urban centers. Thus, such public artistic actions, proposals to be shared collectively and collaboratively with the group involved, with respect to its constitution as a project, they are created from the interaction and collaboration of participants, allowing that the experenciados processes instigate new modes of subjectivity of the individual in his relationship with art in the present context. / Permeando processos analógicos e digitais, o presente projeto abarca uma produção poética em artes visuais, no campo da arte e tecnologia, que se constitui como uma proposta de intervenções em superfícies urbanas, tendo como temática o território e elementos de cidades interioranas. O estudo, neste sentido, busca aproximar a arte pública e urbana das comunidades do interior, locais que ficam, em muitos momentos, à margem das manifestações artísticas contemporâneas, usualmente concentradas nos maiores centros urbanos. Desta maneira, tais ações artísticas públicas, propostas para serem partilhadas de maneira coletiva e colaborativa com o grupo envolvido, no que tange a sua constituição como projeto, são criadas a partir da interação e colaboração dos participantes, possibilitando com que os processos experenciados instiguem novos modos de subjetivação do indivíduo em sua relação com a arte no contexto atual.

Those disorders involves a sinals set and related symptoms, mainly, to somatic problems and depressive and anxiety symptons generally related to life conditions and occupational structure. So, our goal is to analyse the vulnerabilities aspects on common mental disorders in Paraíba’s men, comparing urban and rural contexts. There were realized two empiric studies. The first is a quantitative epidemiological research wich its objective was estimate the prevalence of common mental disorders in capital and rural cities’ on men from Paraíba, associated to social economic factors, life style, search for treatment and mental health. In a sample of 432 men (160 linving in capital and 272 living in rural cities), from 21 to 59 years-old age group, were applyed a set of instruments: SRQ-20; Life Style, Acess and Health Atendance, Mental Health and Social-Demographic Questionnaries, which results were evaluated by descriptive statistics, Prevalence ratio, association (chi-square and test t) and multivariate. The CMD prevalence found among men from urban context was 46,3% and 18,4% from rural. It was observed the association between CMD presence and the age group (X2=9,183; p=0,01), with higher prevalence on yougest age group (44%), decreasing during life course (40% on group between 30 and 49 years-old and 15% on group above 50 years-old). The schoolarity association (X2=11,182; p=0,01) points to prevalence increase with schoolarity (basic: 29%; high school: 38%; university: 30%); so, we can deduce, given sample’s low Family income, that suffering can come from Family income increasing abstance after increasing the schoolarity level. At last, there was the association of CMD presence with marital status (X2=11,755; p=0,008), with bigger difference between singles (43%). The second study, qualitative, had as objective to analyse – from the participants description, which vulnerabilities elements (individuals, socials and programmatic) to CMD are presents on men’s lives from cities rurals and urbans. There were 07 men from rural context and 16 from urban context participating, with ages from 21 to 59 years-old, it was utilized individual enterviews analyzed through themactic categorial technique. Thematic categorization allowed obtaining three thematic classes: the first named “Male Suffering Contexts” refered to suffering individual aspects and involved seven analysing categories, a) Symptomatology; b) Main motives to getting ill; c) Illness consequences; d) Selfcare practices; e) Health care; f) Metal Health Care; g) Social support net. In second thematic class, named “Male Psychic Suffering Experiences”, had made refference to suffering social and intersubjetives aspects involved four analysis categories: a) Marital Relations; b) Gender Relations; c) Labor factors which step in metal health; d) Rural and urban everyday. The third thematic class was named “Professionals more sensitive and humanized to male suffering”. The results allowed to conclude, in urban context, that the relation between individual, social and programatic aspects associated to urban violence, finantial issues, unemployment, marital issues, lack of perspective and professional grown, health issues (family and personal), work oveload, social isolation, contrinute to CMD vulnerability situations between men linving on urban context. / O adoecimento psíquico, com destaque para os Transtornos Mentais Comuns (TMC), é um dos grandes problemas enfrentados na atualidade, de natureza não psicótica, tais transtornos envolvem um conjunto de sinais e sintomas relacionados, principalmente, às queixas somáticas e sintomas depressivos e ansiosos, geralmente associadas às condições de vida e à estrutura ocupacional. Neste sentido, objetiva-se analisar os aspectos de vulnerabilidades aos transtornos mentais comuns em homens paraibanos comparando os contextos urbano e rural. Foram realizados dois Estudos Empíricos. O primeiro trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa, epidemiológica, com objetivo de estimar a prevalência dos transtornos mentais comuns em homens da capital e de cidades rurais paraibanas, associados com fatores socioeconômicos, de estilos de vida, busca por atendimento e saúde mental. Para uma amostra de 432 homens (160 residentes na capital e 272 em cidades rurais), na faixa etária de 21 a 59 anos, foi aplicado um conjunto de instrumentos: SRQ-20; Questionários de Estilo de Vida; de Acesso e Atendimento em Saúde; de Saúde Mental; Sócio-demográfico, cujos resultados foram analisados por estatística descritiva, razão de prevalência, de associação (qui-quadrado e test t) e multivariada. A prevalência de TMC encontrada entre os homens do contexto urbano foi de 46,3% e 18,4% no rural. Observou-se associação entre a presença de TMC com a faixa etária (X2=9,183; p=0,01), com maior prevalência na faixa etária mais jovem (44%), diminuindo no decorrer da vida (40% na faixa entre 30 e 49 anos e 15% na faixa acima de 50 anos). A associação com a escolaridade (X2=11,182; p=0,01) aponta o aumento da prevalência juntamente com o aumento da escolaridade (fundamental: 29%; médio: 38%; superior: 30%), podendo-se inferir, dado a baixa renda familiar da amostra, que o sofrimento pode decorrer pela ausência de melhoria na renda após o aumento da escolaridade. Por fim, houve associação da presença de TMC com o estado civil (X2=11,755; p=0,008), com maior diferença entre os solteiros (43%). O segundo estudo, qualitativo, objetivou analisar – a partir do relato dos participantes, quais elementos (individuais, sociais e programáticos) de vulnerabilidades aos TMC estão presentes nas vivências dos homens de cidades rurais e urbana. Participaram 07 homens do contexto rural e 15 do contexto urbano, com idades entre 21 e 59 anos, utilizando-se de entrevistas individuais, analisadas por meio da técnica de análise categorial temática. A categorização temática permitiu a obtenção de três classes temáticas: a primeira intitulada “Contextos de sofrimento masculino” fez referência aos aspectos individuais do sofrimento e envolveu sete categorias de análise, a saber, a) Sintomatologia; b) Principais motivos para o adoecimento; c) Consequências do adoecimento; d) Práticas de autocuidado; e) Cuidado em saúde; f) Cuidado em saúde mental; g) Rede de apoio social. Já a segunda classe temática, intitulada “Vivências de sofrimento psíquico masculino, fez referência aos aspectos sociais e intersubjetivos do sofrimento e envolveu quatro categorias de análise, a) Relações Conjugais; b) Relações de gênero; c) Fatores no trabalho que interferem na saúde psíquica; d) Cotidiano urbano e rural. A terceira classe “Profissionais mais humanizados e sensibilizados ao sofrimento masculino”. Os resultados permitiram concluir que, no contexto urbano, há uma maior prevalência de transtorno mental comum, a relação entre os aspectos individuais, sociais e programáticos, associados à violência urbana, problemas financeiros, desemprego, problemas conjugais, falta de perspectiva e crescimento profissional, problemas de saúde (familiares, pessoal), sobrecarga de trabalho, isolamento social, contribuem para situações de vulnerabilidades aos TMC entre os homens residentes no contexto urbano.

This study investigates the barriers faced by cities in their efforts to increase the number of urban cyclists and aims to identify best practices to fulfil cities' ambitions. The research explores the multi-dimensional nature of the obstacles and highlights the significance of understanding and addressing them effectively. By examining bike policies, sustainable mobility programs, existing literature, and conducting interviews with experts, this study provides insights into the common themes that prevent cities from achieving their goals. The findings contribute to the development of best practices that can support cities in their ambition to increase urban cycling.This study is a multi-case study, where the study compares the city Malmö and The Hague. The Hague is a leading example for bicycle use, while Malmö strives to become a bicycle-friendly city. The methodology employed in this research includes several components: a literature review to explore barriers and enablers of urban cycling, a theoretical analysis, a comprehensive review of bike policies and sustainable mobility documents in both cities and interviews to delve deeper into recurring themes identified in the document analysis. The discussion section integrates the literature review, theory, and results, highlighting the best practices for promoting urban cycling.In this study, the theory of path dependency is employed, which refers to a process where initial moves lead to further moves in the same direction, limiting future choices. It involves three phases: Preformation, Formation, and Lock-in. Additionally, the theoretical framework incorporates the three factors of path dependence identified by Low et al. (2005). These factors are relevant to the study because they relate to urban planning and active transport. The three factors are: technical, institutional, and discursive. Overall, understanding path dependency and its factors (technical, institutional, and discursive) enables more effective strategies in urban planning and active transportation to overcome barriers and promote sustainable cities.Through an analysis of previous research, theory, and results it becomes evident that the establishment of a support base and the implementation of a combination of hard and soft measures play a crucial role in fulfilling cities' bike ambitions. The support base requires diverse stakeholders to understand and support bike policies. Effective communication help engage stakeholders and expand support. Overplanning with various options enhances policy resilience. Striking a balance between hard and soft measures is crucial for increasing urban cyclists. Hard measures like infrastructure development are initially important, but a balanced approach ensures an effective strategy.By adopting these best practices, cities can successfully increase the number of urban cyclists. However, it is important to emphasize that achieving this ambition goes beyond formulating a policy; it requires the establishment of a support base and a balanced approach that incorporates both hard and soft measures. This study provides cities with insights into potential barriers and enablers, offering guidance for examining their specific urban contexts and working towards their cycling goals.

Le théâtre de Bulla Regia est un des mieux conservés de Tunisie. Malgré l'intérêt certain qu'il représente son étude nécessite de tenir compte du contexte monumental dans lequel il est apparu celui du secteur constitué par les deux "esplanades" situées au Sud et à l'Ouest. La première partie de la thèse est consacrée à l'étude du théâtre proprement dit. Elle se fonde sur l'ensemble des relevés des structures en place, la description des vestiges et l'étude des blocs épars. Le monument a été interprété et restitué par comparaison avec d'autres théâtres romains bien connus situés de façon préférentielle en Afrique. L'étude présente les dessins de restitution de l'édifice en plan, élévation et coupe, ainsi que sa modélisation informatique. La recherche a démontré que le monument a connu deux états successifs. C'est en effet à la suite d'une extension que sa façade est venue mordre sur la rue située au Nord. La seconde partie s'attache à l'étude du contexte monumental auquel le théâtre est lié. Elle commence par un chapitre technique qui définit les caractéristiques des murs numides par rapport aux murs romains. Il était fondamental de pouvoir restituer son évolution chronologique et principalement de distinguer les caractéristiques de son organisation à l'époque numide. L'étude des monuments s'est intéressée à tous les temples situés au sud du théâtre, avec leurs relevés, l'étude de leurs blocs épars et leur restitution architecturale. Pour la première fois a été proposée, sur des bases solides, la restitution d'un temple d'époque numide (le temple B).Dans la dernière partie ont été discutées les trois hypothèses possibles relatives à la fonction véritable du complexe monumental constitué par les deux esplanades et le théâtre. Il a été démontré qu'il ne pouvait s'agir d'un sanctuaire organisé autour d'un temple principal ni d'un grand gymnase de tradition grecque. La seule hypothèse satisfaisante est celle qui consiste à considérer que le premier état du complexe (à l'époque numide) aurait correspondu à un palais. Celui-ci aurait compris une partie résidentielle (autour de l'esplanade B) et une partie sacrée à laquelle le théâtre était lié (autour de l'esplanade A). Cette recherche nous éclaire sur la fonction et l'évolution d'une partie importante de la ville et révèle l'existence d'un programme architectural particulièrement rare en Afrique (une résidence royale numide). Cette thèse est celle d'un architecte dont le mérite est d'avoir réalisé pour la première fois un relevé très précis une description et une interprétation poussée de ce complexe. Elle soulève des questions soumises à la réflexion de la communauté scientifique qui devraient encourager la réalisation de sondages et de fouilles permettant de confirmer et de consolider l'hypothèse avancée. / The theatre of Bulla Regia is one of the best preserved in Tunisia. Its study needs to take in consideration the monumental context constituted by the two "esplanades" situated to the south and the west and linked to it. The first part of this study concerns the theatre itself. It includes the surveys of the structures, a precise description of the remains, and the registration of the scattered blocs. It concerns the functioning of the monument and its architectural restitution. The monument have been interpreted and restituted by comparison with other well-known roman theatres mainly situated in Africa. The study presents restitution drawings in plan, elevation and section and a computing model. It has demonstrated the existence of two successive states. The limits and the caracteristics of the two states have been studied. The superposition of the new façade of the theatre with the north street is the consequence of an extension of the building. The second part concerns the study of the monumental context linked to the theatre. It begins by a technical chapter giving a key for the interpretation of the whole sector. It gives a clear definition and the caracteristics of the numid walls by opposition to the roman ones. This is fundamental to restitute the chronological evolution of the complex. The study examines afterwards all the temples situated to the south: it gives a whole survey of the remains, a study of the scattered blocs and an architectural restitution for each monument. A relative dating of these monuments has been exposed. It also has been proposed the restitution of a numid temple (temple B) according to the study of its remains and their iconography (representations on coins). In the last part, have been discussed three possible hypotheses concerning the probable function of the monumental complex (a great sanctuary, a great gymnasium in the Greek tradition or to consider that the first state of the complex corresponded to a palace). The complex would have included a residential part (esplanade B) and a sacred one (esplanade A) including the theatre. The results of this research overcome largely the interest of a study limited to a theatre. They in light on the function and evolution of a major part of the city and reveal the existence of a program particularly scarce in Africa (a royal residence). The study gives an accurate survey of the monuments and a deep interpretation of this complex. It does arouse important questions worth to encourage the realization of excavations allowing confirming and consolidating the proposed hypothesis. Its underlines the major interest of this sector and can favor the initiatives that would help its preservation and presentation.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Jonas Mendes Barreto.pdf: 1316570 bytes, checksum: 841fd20c044dbccf00f56b152b44cd8a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-03-18 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The research developed deals with this crisis of meaning in a society in transformation process, with the main purpose of pointing the challenges and possibilities of redefinition of the Methodist praxis in the urban context. This transformation process is characterized by various elements that constitute the formation of this new religious cultural scene, as the urban question, the hybridization of religious practices, spirituality without religion, privatization of faith, religious pluralism, secularization, religious transit, the emergence of new religious proposals, the loss of autonomy of various traditional institutional mediations. The hypothesis is that the phenomena that characterize this present time of change have affected the Protestant mission churches, including the Methodist Church. The investigation of these phenomena, based in theoretical foundations, aims to analyze the impact of changes in socio-cultural context of the Methodist Church and some of its consequences in the religious field, especially in the urban reality of the Methodist Church in Belo Horizonte, in the period from 1982 to 2006. The characteristic culture of this time of change demanded new paradigms of Methodism pastoral action to the urban context in Belo Horizonte, however the Methodist Church was not able to contemplate in documents Plan For Life and Mission (1982) and Gifts and Ministries (1987) an effective response to the challenges of this time of transformation. Amid the changes that have occurred in society, the Methodist Church has tried new forms of organization structure and changes in its documents Four-year Plans, Five-Year Plans, Plan for Life and Mission of the Church and Gifts and Ministries. But the pastoral actions of Methodism in Belo Horizonte did not result in pastoral praxis that would respond to changes in society. The Methodist Church in Belo Horizonte was not able to perceive these changes and hence the need to change the traditional pastoral functions, facing the new sociocultural challenges. The specific objective of this research is therefore to understand how this new cultural paradigm, in view of the public presence, has affected the Methodist Church in Belo Horizonte and how it has responded to the challenges of its pastoral practices of evangelism, social action and education. For sounding responses that will meet these challenges, the pastoral practices of the Methodist Church in Belo Horizonte, the sociocultural transformations and how they affected the pastoral mode of Methodism, will be analyzed, forcing it to reinterpret itself and taking a critical and transformative stand in the society to reframe the Methodist praxis in the urban context. . / A pesquisa aqui desenvolvida trata da crise de sentido presente em uma sociedade em processo de transformação, com o propósito de apontar os desafios e possibilidades de uma ressignificação da práxis metodista no contexto urbano. Esse processo de transformação é caracterizado por vários elementos que constituem a formação de um novo cenário cultural religioso, como a hibridização de práticas religiosas, espiritualidade sem religião, a privatização da fé, o pluralismo religioso, a secularização, o trânsito religioso, a urbanização, o surgimento de novas propostas religiosas, a perda da autonomia de diversas mediações institucionais tradicionais. A hipótese é de que os fenômenos presentes, que caracterizam este tempo de mudanças, têm afetado as igrejas protestantes de missão, entre elas a Igreja Metodista. A investigação desses fenômenos, a partir de fundamentos teóricos, visa analisar o impacto das transformações socioculturais no contexto da Igreja Metodista e algumas das suas consequências no campo religioso, especialmente na realidade urbana da Igreja Metodista em Belo Horizonte, no período de 1982 a 2006. A cultura característica desse tempo de transformações demandava novos paradigmas de ação pastoral do metodismo para o contexto urbano em Belo Horizonte, no entanto, a Igreja Metodista não foi capaz de construir, nos documentos Plano Para Vida e Missão (1982) e Dons e Ministérios (1987), uma resposta que contemplasse os complexos desafios demandados por esse tempo de transformações. Portanto, em que pesem os esforços da Igreja Metodista em procurar formas novas de organização de sua estrutura e alterações em seus documentos Planos Quadrienais, Quinquenais, Plano para a Vida e Missão da Igreja, Dons e Ministérios, com o passar do tempo, tais documentos demonstraram carecer de atualização e reconstrução. Dessa maneira, as ações pastorais do metodismo em Belo Horizonte não resultaram em práxis pastorais que respondessem às transformações da sociedade. Não houve, por parte da Igreja Metodista em Belo Horizonte, a percepção dessas mudanças e, consequentemente, da necessidade de alterar as funções tradicionais de pastoreio diante dos novos desafios socioculturais. O objetivo específico desta pesquisa, portanto, é compreender de que maneira o novo paradigma cultural, na perspectiva da presença pública, tem afetado a Igreja Metodista em Belo Horizonte e como ela tem respondido aos desafios de suas práticas pastorais de evangelização, ação social e educação, na realidade urbana e em sua dimensão pública. Para fundamentar respostas que atendam a tais desafios, serão analisadas as práticas pastorais da Igreja Metodista em Belo Horizonte, as transformações socioculturais e como elas afetaram o modo de ação pastoral do metodismo, obrigando-o a reinterpretar-se e assumir uma posição crítica e transformadora diante da sociedade, para ressignificação da sua práxis no contexto urbano.

The goal of this dissertation is to demonstrate that data from a remotely located building can be utilized for energy modeling of a similar type of building and to demonstrate how to use this remote data without physically moving the data from one server to another using Virtual Information Fabric Infrastructure (VIFI). In order to achieve this goal, firstly an EnergyPlus model was created for Greek Life Center, a campus building located at University of North Texas campus at Denton in Texas, USA. Three thermal comfort models of Fanger model, Pierce two-node model and KSU two-node model were compared in order to find which one of these three models is most accurate to predict occupant thermal comfort. This study shows that Fanger's model is most accurate in predicting thermal comfort. Secondly, an experimental data pertaining to lighting usage and occupancy in a single-occupancy office from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has been implemented in order to perform energy analysis of Greek Life Center assuming that occupants in this building's offices behave similarly as occupants in CMU. Thirdly, different data types, data formats and data sources were identified which are required in order to develop a city-scale urban building energy model (CS-UBEM). Two workflows were created, one for an individual scale building energy model and another one for CS-UBEM. A new innovative infrastructure called as Virtual Information Fabric Infrastructure (VIFI) has been introduced in this dissertation. The workflows proposed in this study will demonstrate in the future work that by using VIFI infrastructure to develop building energy models there is a potential of using data for remote servers without actually moving the data. It has been successfully demonstrated in this dissertation that data located at remote location can be used credibly to predict energy consumption of a newly built building. When the remote experimental data of both lighting and occupancy are implemented, 4.57% energy savings was achieved in the Greek Life Center energy model.
