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
Youth in the Otto-Probst-Siedlung - Where are you?
No full textIm Rahmen unseres Seminars „Forschung und Projektentwicklung“ beschäftigten wir uns mit dem Bereich rund um die „Otto-Probst-Siedlung“. Dieses Gebiet ist ein Stadtteil des 10. Gemeindebezirks in Wien, in dem rund sechseinhalbtausend Menschen leben. Ausgangspunkt unseres Forschungsauftrags war die Annahme, dass der Stadtteil für Kinder und Jugendliche wenig attraktiv erscheint. Des Weiteren besteht die Vermutung, dass Jugendliche ihre Freizeit nicht gerne in diesem Gebiet verbringen. Daraus entstand unsere Forschungsfrage, die wie folgt lautet: „Wie eignen sich Jugendliche den Raum der Otto-Probst-Siedlung an und wie werden diese Aneignungsformen von Anrainer*innen und Expert*innen wahrgenommen?“. Es wurde dazu die Otto-Probst-Siedlung und das angrenzende Naherholungsgebiet beforscht. Den Forschungsgegenstand der Arbeit stellen Jugendliche im Alter von 12 bis 21 Jahren dar, die in diesem Raum Zeit verbringen. Um einen Eindruck für die Umgebung zu bekommen, wurden alle Lehrveranstaltungen im ansässigen Jugendzentrum JUST@OPS Wienerberg abgehalten. Im theoretischen Teil wird ein Blick auf die Lebensphase Jugend und ihre speziellen Aneignungsformen geworfen. Des Weiteren erfolgt eine Analyse zu Raumaneignung und den diesbezüglichen geschlechterspezifischen Unterschieden. Die Daten für die Empirie erhoben wir anhand strukturierter Stadtteilbegehungen, mobiler Nadelprojekte, Expert*inneninterviews und Anrainer*innenbefragungen. Aus den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen entstand eine Projektskizze zu einer Veranstaltung, die wir theoretischen darstellen.As part of our seminar “Research and project Development” we focused on the “Otto-Probst-Siedlung” and the surrounding area, which is a development area in Vienna’s 10th district. About six and a half thousand people live in this community. At the beginning of our research we assumed that the area and its surroundings weren’t at all attractive for young people. Additionally, it was assumed that young people do not use the space in their free time. From this point we generated our research question which is as follows: “How do young people adapt into the space of the Otto-Probst-Siedlung and how are these forms of adaptations perceived by residents and experts?”
In order to answer these questions we conducted our research around the “Otto-Probst-Siedlung“ and its “recreational area”. Our research subject were young people between 12 and 21 years, who spent time in this area. In order to get an impression of this place of research, our classes were taught in the Youth Centre JUST@OPS, which is located nearby. The theoretical part focuses on the ‘youth’ stage of life and its forms of appropriation. Furthermore we analysed specific gender differences. The empirical part consists of “site visits”, use of “mobile-pin-method”, “expert interviews” and “local resident surveys”. Based on the data we have collected, we created a project which will be presented at the end of our senior thesis named “Youth in the Otto-Probst-Siedlung – Where are you?”
Imparare le lingue per abbracciare il mondo
No full textL’autrice che si colloca, come Daniela Zorzi, tra i fautori di una linguistica “impegnata”, propone in ricordo della studiosa amica, una riflessione sul ruolo cruciale del multilinguismo e delle lingue- culture, per il successo professionale e il benessere sociale, nella società contemporanea. Il multilinguismo appare come un’urgenza educativa che interpella studiosi e formatori a tutti i livelli al fine di promuovere nei giovani un apprendimento consapevole efficace ed autonomo.Multilingualism constitutes an urgent objective for education, which needs to involve teachers and researchers at all levels if we are to promote effective and autonomous learning in the young. Like Daniela Zorzi, the author considers herself a socially engaged linguist, and in memory of her friend’s work, offers a reflection on the key roles of languages and cultures and of multilingualism for professional success and social welfare today
Preparação e caracterização de catalisadores metálico suportados para a reação de reforma do gás metano com dióxido de carbono para obtenção do gás de síntese
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas. Programa de Pós-graduação em QuímicaNeste trabalho, foram preparados diferentes catalisadores metal-óxido suportados que fossem ativos, seletivos e estáveis frente à reação de reforma a seco do metano para produção do gás de síntese. Os catalisadores foram preparados empregando métodos convencionais de preparo, como impregnação úmida e precursores poliméricos. Empregou-se como fase ativa os metais níquel e cobalto e como suportes os óxidos de zinco, nióbio, silício e alumínio (comercial e pelo método de precipitação de esferas). O potássio foi empregando como dopante. Os catalisadores foram caracterizados físico-quimicamente antes e, quando necessário, após os testes catalíticos, utilizando para isso técnicas de adsorção física de nitrogênio, difratometria de raios-X (DRX), análises de redução em temperatura programada (RTP) e microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Os testes catalíticos foram realizados em fase gasosa, sob pressão atmosférica, utilizando um reator de leito fixo a uma temperatura reacional de 625 °C e uma proporção molar de reagentes de 4:1:1 (N2:CH4:CO2), sendo o fluxo total de 35 cm3/min. Empregou-se o N2 como gás diluente e também como padrão interno para a análise cromatográfica. A ativação catalítica foi realizada sob fluxo de H2 durante o período de 90 minutos. Para a análise dos produtos reacionais foi utilizado um cromatógrafo gasoso equipado com coluna empacotada (Peneira molecular 5A e Porapak Q) e detector de condutividade térmica. Os catalisadores que utilizaram o óxido de alumínio como suporte, apresentaram maiores áreas superficiais. As maiores conversões de metano foram obtidas utilizando os catalisadores preparados pelo método de impregnação úmida sendo, entre esses, o catalisador com a adição de potássio o que apresentou uma maior atividade catalítica, com 80% do metano convertido
Reclamações ambientais em Aveiro, Portugal: atores, preocupações, padrão territorial e resoluções
No full textThis paper presents an environmental diagnosis based on public complaints on environmental
issues submitted to the Environmental Department of the Aveiro City Council, Portugal, between
2000 and 2005. It discusses the potential influences of these in local environmental planning
and governance. The paper has been organised into five sections. The first of these introduces
the study. The second section focuses on the conceptual approaches relating to environmental
grassroots movements, the main actors involved in these movements and the role played by
local government. It also contains a brief review of the most recent urban environmental
quality challenges in the European context together with a description of the main features of
the associated political and legal framework in Portugal. The third section describes the case
study and the methodology used. The results of the empirical study are detailed in the fourth
section. The final section critically analyses these results with emphases on the temporal
evolution of the submission of complaints, the actors involved, the local environmental problems
and their associated spatial pattern as well as the responses given by the City Council. This
information may then be used to provide a useful indicator for the perception of environmental
quality as well as a credible instrument for the visualisation and evaluation of local performance
in terms of environmental planning and management.AlBan Programme - n. E05M053040B

Interactions between Reflection and Praxis in the History of Economic Thought. The case of the Franciscan Cicles from XIII Century Assisi to the Present
No full textResumen: Daniela Parisi analiza el impacto de la vida de San F rancisco de Asís desde la perspectiva de la historia del pensamiento económico. Haciendo referencia particularmente a la atención otorgada en los círculos franciscanos a los signos de los tiempos, la autora traza el camino desde la vida de San Francisco, pasando por la vida de la Orden hasta el presente, y revela los orígenes del movimiento franciscano como un intento de reforma social y religiosa. En primer lugar, el artículo presenta la vida que llevó San Francisco como una “pobreza material voluntaria” en el contexto de los cambios socio-económicos que tuvieron lugar en el siglo XIII, con el advenimiento de la sociedad comercial. Luego, explica cómo la propuesta de San Francisco creció hasta convertirse en una orden religiosa. Finalmente, el artículo intenta iluminar aquellos aspectos en que la Orden Franciscana puede todavía considerarse un signo de los tiempos a través de una existencia comprometida con la pobreza, eliminando lo superfluo de nuestra vida y viviendo en consonancia con el Evangelio.Abstract: Daniela Parisi analyses the impact of the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, from the perspective of the history of economic thought. By referring in particular to the attention given in Franciscan circles to the signs of times, the author draws the path from Saint Francis’s life to the life of the Order until the present, and reveals the origins of the Franciscan movement as an attempt for social and religious reformation. First, the article presents St. Francis’s life of a “voluntary material poverty” in the context of the social and economic changes that took place in the XIII century, with the rise of the commercial society. Then, the author explains how St. Francis’ proposal grew into an Order. Finally, the article aims at illuminating the aspects in which the Franciscan Order can be still considered a sign of the times by living the commitment to poverty and minority, eliminating the superfluous from our lives and living close to the Gospel
Numerical Simulation of the Streamwise Transport of a Delta Wing Leading-Edge Vortex
No full textLongitudinal vortices are a common flow phenomenon in the flow around aircraft. They emerge wherever sharp edges are encountered and affect the stability of the boundary layers with which they interact. Hence, for an optimal aircraft design, it is necessary to accurately predict not only the formation of these vortices, but also their downstream evolution. This paper presents a numerical simulation approach for the formation and downstream transport of longitudinal vortices. The approach consists in a hybrid Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes/large eddy simulation (RANS/LES) method with synthetic turbulence forcing for which different RANS/LES interface locations are investigated. The assessment of the suggested numerical approach is performed on an isolated sharp-edged delta wing configuration, allowing to get rid of unwanted uncertainties
