Contribuição à análise e classificação citogenética baseada no processamento digital de imagens e no enfoque lógico-combinatório
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia ElétricaEste trabalho apresenta a elaboração de um Sistema Computadorizado para Análise e Classificação Citogenética, que constitui uma nova metodologia para reduzir o viés da análise citogenética clínica. Tal sistema foi implementado visando dois objetivos específicos: o reconhecimento automático dos cromossomos através de uma única cena e a análise da leucemia pró-mielocítica aguda. Para alcançar o primeiro objetivo, aplicou-se técnicas de processamento digital de imagens, visando extrair as características de área, fator de forma, distância Euclidiana e correlação linear de Pearson, com mais precisão. Através destas características, foi possível a identificação automática dos cromossomos homólogos, atingindo 63,04% de índice de acerto quando utilizadas imagens de 276 cromossomos, as quais foram obtidas de diferentes laboratórios. Para atingir o segundo propósito, foi desenvolvido um novo método de prolongamento das extremidades do eixo médio extraído dos cromossomos, baseando-se na técnica de extrapolação pelos mínimos quadrados. Desta forma, foi possível detectar a translocação t(15,17) que caracteriza a leucemia e, para apresentar o grau de analogia com a doença, utilizou-se o enfoque lógico-combinatório. Os resultados demonstraram um bom desempenho do sistema, obtendo índices entre 63,73 a 99,70% de semelhança com o rearranjo cromossômico, quando utilizadas imagens de células leucêmicas e valores abaixo de 17,30% com o uso de imagens de células normais. Logo, através deste estudo, foi possível comprovar que é possível o reconhecimento automático dos cromossomos através de uma única cena e obter uma ferramenta que permite detectar com maior precisão o rearranjo característico da leucemia pró-mielocítica aguda, oferecendo ao citogeneticista condições para a detecção do rearranjo cromossômico com maior eficiência e confiabilidade

Involvement of French carrier-borne aviation in Indochina (1945-1954) : The French Navy renewal in front of the first Indochina war
No full textA la fin de l’année 1946, la Marine française franchit une étape importante dans la reconstruction débutée avant la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, avec la réapparition d’une aviation navale embarquée. En même temps, le Viêt-minh, mouvement nationaliste vietnamien, se soulève à Hanoï marquant le début d’un conflit qui va se poursuivre jusqu’en 1954. C’est dans ce contexte que la Marine française engage en Indochine peu après, son aviation embarquée renaissante par des campagnes se succédant pendant les deux tiers du conflit. La première série de campagnes ayant lieu entre 1947 et 1948 se révèle modeste mais riche de promesses pour l’avenir. La seconde série ayant lieu entre 1951 et 1954 se traduit par un engagement beaucoup plus important de l’aviation embarquée grâce à l’aide américaine reçue dans le cadre du Traité de l’Atlantique Nord et montre les capacités d’intervention de l’aviation embarquée à l’intérieur des terres. L’engagement de l’aviation embarquée en Indochine ne modifie pas l’issue du conflit, mais se révèle avoir un impact positif important sur la renaissance de la Marine française. Elle l’aide après dix années d’efforts infructueux, à obtenir le lancement de la construction en France non seulement de deux porte-avions modernes mais aussi celle des avions d’assaut et de reconnaissance embarqués à réaction qui leur sont indispensables.At the end of 1946, the French Navy revival achieves a significant step with the rebirth of a carrier-borne aviation. In the same time, the Viet Minh revolts in Hanoi, which marks the beginning of a ten years conflict. In such a context, the French Navy engages shortly after, her just reborn carrier-borne aviation during the two thirds of the first Indochina war. The first series of campaigns between 1947 and 1949 appears modest but full of promises for the future. The second series between 1951 and 1954, shows a bigger involvement of the carrier-borne aviation with the assistance of the military assistance program from United States within the North Atlantic Treaty and reveals a power projection capability of carrier-borne aviation. The involvement of the carrier-borne aviation does not change the outcome of the conflict, but had a very positive impact on the French Navy revival in process. It helped her, after ten years of unsuccessful attempts to obtain the building of two carrier vessels as well as the production of carrier-borne strike and recon jet aircraft
Dear Jacques ... Lecoq in the twenty first century
No full textThis essay considers Jacques Lecoq's influence almost 20 years after his death. Arguing that Lecoq's pedagogy is largely as relevant today as it was when he was still alive, the author speculates whether Lecoq would have welcomed developments in the use of digital technology within live performance. The essay proposes that much of Lecoq's teaching with its emphasis on play, complicite, invention, imagination and the creative actor remains relevant to contemporary developments in site-specific, immersive and postdramatic theatre. The essay is constructed in the form of a posthumous letter to Jacques Lecoq
Essai de vulgarisation des homélies métriques de Jacques de Saroug
No full textIn this series of articles originally published in Revue de l’Orient Chrétien from 1912-1914, Babakhan aimed to popularize the work of Jacob of Sarug, a large collection of whose homilies had recently appeared in the monumental edition of Paul Bedjan. Babakhan gives, with very brief introductions, rhymed French translations of five of Jacob’s homilies, namely, Bedjan’s nos. 2 (on the descent of the most high on Mount Sinai, and the symbol of the Church), 95 (on the decapitation of John the Baptist), 99 (on the Apostle Thomas), 103 (on the love of money), and 194 (on the end of the world, and marriage), with some parts omitted. This French translation may still serve as a vehicle of introduction to Jacob’s poetry, much of which remains untranslated
Da ideia de infância em Jean-Jacques Rousseau ou do "sono da razão"
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Ciencias da Educação. Programa de Pós-Graduação em EducaçãoOs pensamentos expostos no século XVIII pelo genebrino Jean-Jacques Rousseau influenciaram de maneira decisiva a forma como o Ocidente passou a perceber a infância. Este autor provocou uma verdadeira divisão de águas ao publicar Emílio ou Da Educação (1762). Com este feito, mais que balançar os alicerces educacionais da época, ele delega à criança um lugar no mundo. A infância passa a ter um valor em si mesma, e a ser vista como etapa fundamental na constituição humana. Ao destacar este período da vida, além de romper definitivamente com o que vigorava em seu tempo, no qual a criança era tida como um erro passageiro - um infante (aquele que não fala); um "adulto em miniatura"; ou mero objeto de paparicação e prazer - Jean-Jacques cria uma ótica inovadora de conceber a criança. Dizia que: "A natureza quer que as crianças sejam crianças antes de serem homens." Ao elaborar um conceito de infância, Rousseau afirma que "a infância é o sono da razão". O que nos surpreende devido este autor ter vivido em pleno "Século das Luzes", justamente quando a razão era evocada como o guia seguro para o pensamento e para ação em todas as idades. Ao contrário do que possa parecer, Rousseau não desmerece o período infantil, associando-o à escuridão ou a inferioridade primeira da humanidade. Ele é considerado o "inventor da infância". Retomar pensamentos que versam sobre essas ideias rousseaunianas, inaugurais da concepção moderna de Infância, por meio de pesquisa teórica, é o objetivo traçado aqui, com intuito de avançar nas compreensões estabelecidas em torno das contribuições de Jean-Jacques Rousseau para temática em exame.The thoughts exposed in the eighteenth century by the genevan, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, influenced in a decisive way the West has to realize his childhood. This author has caused a real division of the waters or publish Emile, or On Education (1762). With this done more than shake the foundations of educational time, it leaves the child a place in the world. The child is given a value in itself, and be seen as key step in the human constitution. By highlighting this period of life, and the final break with that which prevailed in his time, in which the child was seen as a mistake passenger - an infant (who does not speak), a "miniature adult" or mere object of pampering and pleasure - Jean-Jacques creates a new perspective to conceive a child. He said: "Nature wants children to be children before being men." In developing a concept of childhood, Rousseau says that "childhood is the sleep of reason". What surprises us because this author has lived in the middle of "Age of Enlightenment", just when the reason was mentioned as the sure guide for thought and action in all ages. Contrary to what may seem, Rousseau does not diminish the infantile period, associating him to the darkness or the inferiority of humanity first. He is considered the "inventor of childhood." Resume thoughts that talk about these ideas Rousseau, the inaugural modern conception of childhood, through theoretical research, stroke is the goal here, with the aim to advance the understandings established around the contributions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau to thematic examination

Relationality, polemics, incommensurability: thinking the political at the intersections of the work of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault
No full textPhDThis thesis is focused on the intersections of ontology and politics in the work of Michel
Foucault and Jacques Derrida. In particular it concerns the ways in which these two thinkers
offer accounts of (ethical, social, political) relations which exceed a traditional dichotomy
between transcendentalism and empiricism. Both Derrida and Foucault show universal
foundations to originate in an anterior play of differences 'between' the transcendental and
empirical. However, as this thesis shows, each thinks this anterior 'medium' of relations in
radically incommensurable ways: as differance or aporia in Derrida and as power and
problematization in Foucault. As such, each necessarily views the other as failing to account
for the ‘true medium’ of relationality and so of its violent effacement and disavowal. This
incommensurability, it is argued, results in a polemic between them which is explicit in their
competing accounts of Descartes’ Meditations and implicit throughout all of their work. This
thesis traces the polemic between Derrida and Foucault across their accounts of subjectivity,
ethics and politics. It is argued that in their engagements with each of these fields they
employ parallel politicizing strategies which are nevertheless wholly exclusive of one another.
The incommensurability between Derrida and Foucault reflects a broader problematic
which any political thought affirming its own finitude cannot explicitly recognize. Postfoundational
accounts of relationality, it is claimed, violently exclude competing
philosophical strategies without the capacity of accounting for this exclusion
Can We Tell Stories Out of Our Memories? The Contributions of Derrida and Benjamin
No full textThe author draws from Jacques Derrida’s and Walter Benjamin’s writings on
memory in order to argue that as these two thinkers deal with the simultaneity
of the diachronic and synchronic dimension of time they open up the
possibility of thinking about the relation between memory and narrative in a
more complex way. These two theorists affirm the discontinuity and the nonrecognition
between past events and present discourses and show the danger of
conflating memory and narrative without the awareness of its limits
Norma Coverdale, B.A.: the treatment of women in selected works of Henry de Montherlant
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to determine how women are treated in selectedworks of Henry de Montherlant. This is explored by examining their relationshipswith other women as well as with men. Inevitably, this leads to an analysis ofthe multifaceted area of love. Part I researches Montherlant's prose work and included in this section is the investigation of the importance of 'l'ordre male' to the author and the influence this exerts over his early prose work in the areas of tauromachy, war and sport, and where the male adherence to this concept leaves women. The 'syncretisme et alternance' which is central to Montherlant's thinking is explored in this section.Part 2 is concerned with Montherlant's theatre in which the psychological development of the main characters is of great importance. It is in this section that a comparative study is made of the influence of Mme. Elisabeth Zehrfuss' written contribution to La Reine morte. Her unpublished notes are set out in full in the Appendix. The thesis also draws on the unpublished correspondence between Henry de Montherlant and Elisabeth Zehrfuss between the years 1934 and 1945. An investigation is made as to whether or not there are any differences between the way women are treated in Montherlant's prose and in his theatre and the conclusion is drawn that there are
