Geological Survey of Queensland and University of Queensland, School of Earth Sciences Theses Geochemistry and Geochronology Databases.
No full textThese databases contain: 1. Records of all theses submitted by Earth Sciences students over the past 70 years. 2. The Access Geochronology and Geochemistry database contains thesis title, author, date submitted, supervisor, and area studied; Sample numbers, specimen localities (map coordinates), rock type, unit, description, depth (if from borehole data), precision of locality and thesis reference; geochemical data (elemental or oxide abundances) and analytical limits (precision and detection limits for analytical method used), as well as the instrumentation used for each analysis (XRF, ICP-OES, ICP-MS etc); isotope geochemistry (with analytical limits indicated); and geochronological results (age, methodology, with analytical limits indicated). 3.Two Excel databases are also provided which, together, provide all the information available in the Access database. 4.This website also contains, in separate folders, ArcGIS and MapInfo files containing tables and maps displaying the locations of the study sites and the localities of individual samples taken for each thesis. Each icon represents a sample locality. Information embedded within each locality icon includes the author, title of the thesis, date, and various analytical results. 5. Please note: Browser windows in the MapInfo and ArcGIS files fill empty cells with zeros. This may give rise to the erroneous impression that certain elements may be present at very low concentrations while in fact there have been no analyses for those elements at all. Users are advised to check null values in the databases. 6. Recently, a new (limited) database containing mineral chemistry, with accompanying digital maps have also been included, with a similar structure as the geochemistry and geochronology databases

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Levels of pollutants on the surfaces of children's playgrounds situated in public parks
No full textSmall children have been shown to be vulnerable to environmental contaminants, because of their developing nervous systems and small body size. Children may be exposed to environmental contaminants both indoors and outdoors. They are also more likely to ingestion of such pollutants because of the proximity to the pollutants to the surface, their hand-to-mouth behaviour and their tendency to eat soil. The aim of this study was to determine to which degree children may be exposed to pollutants in their outdoor playing areas. Most small children in urban areas spend their outdoor playing time in playgrounds situated in public parks. This study therefore investigated the level of pollutants in 50 playgrounds of public parks from two urban areas in south-east Queensland. The chemicals of interest were both heavy and light metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are known to be detrimental to human health. This is the first study of its kind in Queensland and the first to investigate both metals and PAHs in Australia.. All of the playgrounds investigated contained both metals and PAHs, but none of these exceeded threshold values as determined by the Queensland Department of Health. The highest concentrations of the chemicals were found in the finest particles contained in the playground covers. Moisture played an important role in limiting the concentration of chemicals. More moisture was generally associated with lower concentrations of chemicals. The natural background contributed most of the metals, while most of the PAHs derived from various types of vehicular emissions through atmospheric deposition. Exposure levels for small children were estimated using three different models for calculating the possible exposure equivalent to a recognised reference PAH compound. All estimated values were below threshold exposure levels as provided for under Queensland guidelines. The practice of covering the playground surfaces with fresh bark chips was found to limit the concentrations of metals in playground covers. It is recommended that the practice of covering playground surfaces with bark be continued, and that, further, these surfaces should regularly be sprayed with water, especially in dry areas
Imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: esboço de biografia
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present
Maria José ao encontro de Tchekov
No full text“A Carta da Corcunda para o Serralheiro” (“Letter from the Hunchback Girl to the Metalworker”), signed by Maria José, was first performed in a theatre show in 1988 (by actress-director Maria do Céu Guerra), two years before the typescript was published in book form for the first time by Teresa Rita Lopes. The evidence upon which this article is built is that it was the theatre that revealed the dramatic destination of this singular epistle of the only female heteronym that Fernando Pessoa invented, which was also the last heteronym to be created by the author. The dramatic construction of Maria José can be approximated to the character-building strategies in Anton Chekhov’s realist dramaturgy, in a way that differs from Pessoa’s other dramaturgical experiences. The analysis of Chekhov’s ascendancy over Stanislavski’s research, as well as the importance of Schopenhauer’s conception of the tragicomic, which is simultaneously projected onto Chekhov’s theatre and Maria José’s profile, are favourable lines of reading for this rapprochement between Pessoa and the Russian fiction writer and playwright. Pessoa’s readings of Chekhov’s texts (such as the play Uncle Vania and the short story “Vanka”) provide relevant data for assessing the magnitude of this encounter.“A Carta da Corcunda para o Serralheiro”, assinada por Maria José, começou por ser difundida num espectáculo de teatro em 1988 (pela actriz-encenadora Maria do Céu Guerra) dois anos antes de o dactiloscrito se ver publicado em livro, pela primeira vez, por Teresa Rita Lopes. Parte-se da evidência de ter sido o teatro a revelar a destinação dramática da epístola singular do único heterónimo mulher que Fernando Pessoa inventou, que terá sido também o último a ser criado pelo autor. A construção dramática de Maria José pode ser aproximada às estratégias de construção de personagem na dramaturgia realista de Anton Tchekov, de um modo que se distingue de outras experiências dramatúrgicas de Pessoa. A análise do ascendente de Tchekov sobre as pesquisas de Stanislavski, bem como a importância da concepção de tragicómico em Schopenhauer, que se projecta em simultâneo sobre o teatro de Tchekov e sobre o perfil de Maria José, são linhas de leitura propícias para esta aproximação entre Pessoa e o ficcionista e dramaturgo russo. As leituras de textos de Tchekov por parte de Pessoa (como o caso da peça Tio Vânia e o conto “Vanka”) fornecem dados relevantes para avaliar a magnitude deste encontro
O negro como personagem na literatura infantil, na obra de Maria Rita Py
No full textTried to when analyzing the works of Coleção História da Vó Preta, of the Santa Mariense author Maria Rita Py, the representation of black people, showing how the issues surrounding it in society, his yearnings, sorrows, lived since last century , are present in contemporary children's literature. The literature has shown an increasing concern in presenting a cultural identity that expresses the relationship of social inclusion. The Brazilian reality shows that the black, after the liberations of slaves, and most recently with the growth of the black movement, assumed a new vision, creating a new discourse in this literature, when passing to be personage of the transformation of black spirit (sense).

A literatura tem evidenciado uma preocupação cada vez maior em apresentar uma identidade cultural que expresse as relações de inclusão social. A realidade brasileira mostra que o negro, após a libertação dos escravos, e mais recentemente com o crescimento do movimento negro assumiu uma nova visão, criando um novo discurso nessa literatura, quando passa a ser personagem da transformação da consciência negra. Neste contexto que se insere a literatura negra de Maria Rita, dedicadas ao público infantil, destaca-se a preocupação em buscar soluções para resolver os problemas dos seus personagens tais como: frustração, rejeição, desejo de ser branco, dúvidas e os anseios de crianças negras na sociedade, mas que afetam a auto-estima e a sua identidade
