Den ständiga kampen mellan serif och sans serif : Typografins digitala utveckling

Detta examensarbete är en del av utbildningen Kandidatpåbyggnad med inriktning Informatik som är ett påbyggnadsår för Grafisk design och webbutveckling på Jönköping University: School of Engineering. Vid en snabb granskning av hemsidor idag går det enkelt att se att det är dominerande att använda sans serif-typsnitt både till rubriker och i brödtext. I grafiska utbildningar lärs det ut att för bäst läsbarhet bör serifer användas i brödtext. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka vad som påverkar läsbarheten på en digital skärm och varför det inte är vanligare att använda serifer på en webben, med tanke på hur långt tekniken kommit idag med nya högupplösta skärmar som inte borde påverka användningen av serifer. Syftet var även att undersöka om val av typografi idag alltid baseras på typografiska regler. Resultatet visade att ett serif-typsnitt upplevs som mer lättläst än ett sans serif-typsnitt oberoende på om de läses på en digital skärm eller på ett tryckt papper. Resultatet visade även att dominationen av sans serif-typsnitt på webben beror på en vana som hänger kvar sen förr, men att detta troligen kommer att förändras i framtiden. Det finns geografiska begränsningar i arbetet, då examensarbetet endast undersöker södra Sverige. För att öka validiteten kunde representanter från hela Sverige ha deltagit. Det hade kunnat påverka och förändra resultatet. Undersökningen hade kunnat förbättras generellt genom att utveckla den och använda fler typsnitt, för att få ett tydligare svar på frågeställningen den undersökte. Även detta hade kunnat påverka resultatet till något annat.

Voir sans regarder, montrer sans laisser voir: L’élévation de l’hostie et son rapport visuel avec les fidèles en Europe occidentale, du milieu du XIIe siècle à la fin du XIVe siècle

Au milieu du XIIe siècle, l’Occident chrétien assiste à l’apparition d’un nouveau rituel liturgique au cours duquel le prêtre élève au-dessus de sa tête l’hostie qui vient d’être consacrée et transformée en corps du Christ. Selon l’historiographie, ce que l’on nomme « élévation de l’hostie » doit permettre aux fidèles de voir et d’adorer l’objet pour pallier la diminution progressive de la fréquence des communions depuis la Réforme grégorienne dans le dernier quart du XIe siècle. Or, cette thèse apparait problématique dans la mesure où les textes liturgiques ainsi que les conciles synodaux ordonnent aux fidèles de s’incliner, de s’agenouiller, de baisser les yeux et même de se prosterner. De plus, une multitude d’obstacles physiques comme des jubés, des clôtures, des rideaux ou un certain nombre de clercs ne peut que limiter la visibilité de l’objet. Ensuite, du point de vue théologique, on ne cesse de rappeler qu’il est impossible de voir Dieu par les yeux du corps et que la visio dei, qui relève des yeux spirituels, ne peut se réaliser en cette vie. Une foi réelle doit d’ailleurs se passer de la vision, de la science ou de la connaissance, car comme le disent les Écritures, « heureux ceux qui ont cru sans voir ». Il en résulte une certaine ambivalence, voire parfois une dévalorisation de la vision corporelle. Sens le plus spirituel, il est aussi le plus dangereux lorsque mal utilisé. La présente recherche porte sur l’apparition, l’évolution et la fixation du rituel de l’élévation de l’hostie du milieu du XIIe siècle à la fin du XIVe siècle et tente de démontrer que sa fonction n’est pas de montrer l’hostie aux fidèles qui sont largement découragés, par une multitude de moyens, de la regarder et qu’elle possède une fonction sociale et liturgique indépendante de leur regard.

Incorporation des protéines de canola dans du pain sans gluten : impact technologique et modélisation du processus de cuisson

L’objectif de cette maîtrise est de développer une matrice alimentaire sans gluten par l’incorporation des protéines de canola (PC) dans une farine de riz blanc afin d’offrir aux personnes intolérantes au gluten un produit de bonne qualité d’un point de vue organoleptique (volume massique, structure alvéolaire et couleur) et de valeur nutritionnelle. La matrice sélectionnée est du pain à base de farine de riz blanc. Cinq formulations ont été testées dans la première partie de ce travail : témoin-1 (blé tendre), témoin-2 (100% riz), pain de riz +3% PC, pain de riz + 6% PC, pain de riz + 9% PC. Les produits obtenus ont été caractérisés à toutes les étapes de fabrication en utilisant différentes techniques : poussée volumique, variation thermique au cours des étuvages et de la cuisson, pH (acidité), perte d’eau, volume massique, analyse colorimétrique, dosage des protéines et analyse du profil de la texture. Dans la deuxième partie, deux variables indépendantes ont été additionnées; soit shortening (1, 2, 3%) et gomme de xanthane (0.5, 1, 1.5%), dans le but d’améliorer le volume massique de la meilleure formulation obtenue dans l’étape précédente. Ensuite, des essais de correction ont été attribués aux produits obtenus par l’introduction du bicarbonate de sodium (0.5, 1, 1.5%) et d’huile de canola à la place du shortening (1, 2, 3%). Les tests de panification ont donné différents volumes massiques et structures alvéolaires qui étaient jugés de qualité inférieure à celle du témoin-1 (2.518 mL/g), mais largement supérieure à celle du témoin-2 (1.417 mL/g). Le meilleur volume massique obtenu est de 1.777 mL/g, correspondant à celui du pain obtenu par la combinaison 6%PC+0.5%GH+B 1.5%+ H3%. Finalement, les résultats de ce projet ont montré l’impact positif de l’incorporation des protéines de canola dans un pain sans gluten à base de farine de riz blanc. Ce travail constitue une contribution à la possibilité de substituer le gluten par d’autres protéines ayant de bonnes propriétés techno-fonctionnelles, en particulier la capacité à donner du volume au produit final.

Une langue sans futur, une identité bien vivante : représentations de la communauté arbënishtë

L’arbënishtë est une variété d’albanais traditionnellement parlée dans le quartier d’Arbanasi de la ville de Zadar (Croatie), exposée a la rupture de la transmission générationnelle et a un déclin rapide. Dans cette contribution, nous abordons l’étude de la communauté arbënishtë du point de vue des représentations sociales par les locuteurs de l’arbënishtë, par les adolescents non-locuteurs se disant Arbënishtës et par les non-locuteurs étudiants de l’Université de Zadar. Les différences entre les trois groupes renvoient a une construction discursive de l’identité arbënishtë, a la perception du statut de la langue, ainsi qu’a une relation changeante entre les deux.

Entre a corte e a revolução: a atuação de um "negociante" na América sede do Império português

O artigo discute a trajetória de Manuel Luís da Veiga que, como comerciante em Portugal (seu território natal), investiu na instalação de uma fábrica em Pernambuco após a chegada da família real no Rio de Janeiro, tendo em vista as transformações que à época se processavam no Império português. O foco da análise centra-se no campo das sociabilidades políticas, com destaque para a atuação de Veiga na corte carioca e sua produção literária sobre economia política, entendendo-as como duas dimensões indissociáveis de sua prática social. Defende-se aqui que sua trajetória ilumina um mundo em profunda mudança nos seus paradigmas, impossível de ser sintetizado pelo estabelecimento de um padrão preciso de distinção entre o que era antigo e o que era novidade no início dos oitocentos.

A forma sem conteúdo e o sujeito sem subjetividade

O objetivo deste ensaio é refletir acerca da relação entre o primado da forma em nossa sociedade, que se expressa também nos âmbitos políticos e educacionais, e a formação de indivíduos pouco diferençados, no que se refere à sua sensibilidade, percepção e pensamento; tem como hipótese que a ênfase na forma, em diversos domínios sociais, em detrimento do conteúdo específico ao qual deveria se vincular contribui com a formação de indivíduos que têm dificuldades de se identificarem entre si e, por isso, de se desenvolver, sendo propensos à frieza, a uma ausência de percepção das contradições e conflitos sociais e a um pensamento basicamente adaptativo. Essa reflexão é desenvolvida tendo como referência obras de pensadores que constituíram a denominada Escola de Frankfurt, tais como T. W. Adorno, M. Horkheimer e H. Marcuse, e a Psicanálise Freudiana.

Campo de Terezin: o sonho como resistência

Reflexão sobre “O Campo de Terezin”, de Ecléa Bosi, mostrando uma área de confinamento de judeus com contornos especiais. Erigido para abrigar pessoas notáveis, como cientistas, heróis de guerra e artistas, ganhou feições de uma cidade exuberante, para quem de fora vinha lhe visitar, sobretudo nas artes e nos esportes. Internamente, administrava-se o terror da definição de quem iria ser escolhido para sobreviver ou para morrer. Ler o texto é como sentir o pulsar da vida em seus encantos - a música, a vibração, a alegria - mas, fundamentalmente, experimentar seus horrores: a dor, o silêncio e a morte. Não é possível percorrer estas páginas sem perder o fôlego e partilhar com a autora a aflição dos seus atores.

Changes in estimated coronary risk in the 1980s: data from 38 populations in the WHO MONICA Project

The World Health Organization (WHO) MONICA Project is a 10-year study monitoring trends and determinants of cardiovascular disease in geographically defined populations. Data were collected from over 100 000 randomly selected participants in two risk factor surveys conducted approximately 5 years apart in 38 populations using standardized protocols. The net effects of changes in the risk factor levels were estimated using risk scores derived from longitudinal studies in the Nordic countries. The prevalence of cigarette smoking decreased among men in most populations, but the trends for women varied. The prevalence of hypertension declined in two-thirds of the populations. Changes in the prevalence of raised total cholesterol were small but highly correlated between the genders (r = 0.8). The prevalence of obesity increased in three-quarters of the populations for men and in more than half of the populations for women. In almost half of the populations there were statistically significant declines in the estimated coronary risk for both men and women, although for Beijing the risk score increased significantly for both genders. The net effect of the changes in the risk factor levels in the 1980s in most of the study populations of the WHO MONICA Project is that the rates of coronary disease are predicted to decline in the 1990s.

Changes in cigarette smoking among adults in 35 populations in the mid-1980s

Objective-To examine changes in the prevalence of cigarette smoking in 35 study populations of the World Health Organisation's MONICA Project. Design-Data from two independent, community-based surveys conducted, on average, five years apart. Setting-Geographically defined populations in 21 countries mainly in eastern and western Europe. Subjects-Randomly selected men and women aged 25-64 years. Numbers of participants in each study population ranged from 586 to 2817 in each survey. Main outcome measures-Changes in proportions of current smokers, ex-smokers, and never-smokers by age and sex using data collected by standardised methods. Results-Among men, smoking prevalence decreased in most populations, by three to four percentage points over five years. In Beijing, however, it increased in all age groups-overall by 11 percentage points. Among women there were increases in smoking in about half the populations. The increases were mainly in the age group 35-54 years and often in those populations where smoking prevalence among women has been relatively low. Conclusions-Smoking initiation by middle-aged women in parts of southern and eastern Europe and among men of all ages in Beijing is a matter of concern. The various public health measures that have helped to reduce smoking among men in developed countries should be vigorously extended to these other groups now at growing risk of smoking-related disease.

Estimation of contribution of changes in classic risk factors to trends in coronary-event rates across the WHO MONICA Project populations

Background From the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, the WHO MONICA Project monitored coronary events and classic risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) in 38 populations from 21 countries. We assessed the extent to which changes in these risk factors explain the variation in the trends in coronary-event rates across the populations. Methods In men and women aged 35-64 years, non-fatal myocardial infarction and coronary deaths were registered continuously to assess trends in rates of coronary events. We carried out population surveys to estimate trends in risk factors. Trends in event rates were regressed on trends in risk score and in individual risk factors. Findings Smoking rates decreased in most male populations but trends were mixed in women; mean blood pressures and cholesterol concentrations decreased, body-mass index increased, and overall risk scores and coronary-event rates decreased. The model of trends in 10-year coronary-event rates against risk scores and single risk factors showed a poor fit, but this was improved with a 4-year time lag for coronary events. The explanatory power of the analyses was limited by imprecision of the estimates and homogeneity of trends in the study populations. Interpretation Changes in the classic risk factors seem to partly explain the variation in population trends in CHD. Residual variance is attributable to difficulties in measurement and analysis, including time lag, and to factors that were not included, such as medical interventions. The results support prevention policies based on the classic risk factors but suggest potential for prevention beyond these.

Smoking and relative body weight: An international perspective from the WHO MONICA project

Study objective-To investigate the magnitude and consistency of the associations between smoking and body mass index (BMI) in different populations. Design-A cross sectional study. Setting and participants-About 69000 men and women aged 35-64 years from 42 populations participating in the first WHO MONICA survey in the early and mid 1980s. Main restults-Compared to never smokers, regular smokers had significantly (p < 0.05) lower median BMI in 20 (men) and 30 (women) out of 42 populations (range -2.9 to 0.5kg/m(2)). There was no population in which smokers had a significantly higher BMI than never smokers. Among men, the association between leanness and smoking was less apparent in populations with relatively low proportions of regular smokers and high proportions of ex-smokers. Ex-smokers had significantly higher BMI than never smokers in 10 of the male populations but in women no consistent pattern was observed. Adjustment for socioeconomic status did not affect these results. Conclusions-Although in most populations the association between smoking and BMI is similar, the magnitude of this association may be affected by the proportions of smokers and ex-smokers in these populations.

Trends in cigarette smoking in 36 populations from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s: Findings from the WHO MONICA Project

Objectives. This report analyzes cigarette smoking over 10 years in populations in the World Health Organization (WHO) MONICA Project (to monitor trends and determinants of cardiovascular disease). Methods. Over 300 000 randomly selected subjects aged 25 to 64 years participated in surveys conducted in geographically defined populations. Results. For men, smoking prevalence decreased by more than 5% in 16 of the 36 study populations, remained static in most others, but increased in Beijing. Where prevalence decreased, this was largely due to higher proportions of never smokers in the younger age groups rather than to smokers quitting. Among women, smoking prevalence increased by more than 5% in 6 populations and decreased by more than 5% in 9 populations. For women, smoking tended to increase in populations with low prevalence and decrease in populations with higher prevalence; for men, the reverse pattern was observed. Conclusions. These data illustrate the evolution of the smoking epidemic in populations and provide the basis for targeted public health interventions to support the WHO priority for tobacco control.

Elites estatais e reforma do estado na nova rep??blica: o projeto Enap e a forma????o da carreira de gestor governamental no Brasil

Os objetos desta pesquisa s??o: 1) a atua????o das elites burocr??ticas do Poder Executivo Federal no processo de transi????o pol??tica no Brasil, nos anos 1980; 2) as frentes de reforma na Nova Rep??blica, nas ??reas social, econ??mica e administrativa e 3) as tentativas de renova????o da gest??o p??blica representadas pela cria????o da Escola Nacional de Administra????o P??blica (ENAP) e da Carreira de Gestor Governamental (EPPGG). Esse era um contexto de reinstitucionaliza????o da fun????o diretiva do Estado e de deslocamento das fronteiras entre o burocr??tico e o pol??tico no setor p??blico brasileiro. A hip??tese central aqui defendida ?? de que a ENAP e a Carreira de Gestor Governamental eram duas op????es inovadoras frente ao dilema sobre quais seriam os pap??is cab??veis a pol??ticos e administradores na nova ordem democr??tica, mas tamb??m eram op????es sem enraizamento nos pactos e agendas de prioridades que viabilizaram a mudan??a de regime no pa??s. A Escola e a Carreira estavam em disson??ncia com as principais tend??ncias de recomposi????o das elites estatais na transi????o a partir do regime militar e sofreram bloqueios em raz??o disso, mas a pesquisa procurou desconstruir algumas narrativas sobre esses conflitos interburocr??ticos, que associam as resist??ncias impostas ?? ENAP e ?? Carreira pelos grupos de funcion??rios da Fazenda e Planejamento a interesses meramente corporativistas. Com um trajeto pelos estudos sobre as burocracias dos regimes militares e sobre as transi????es no Brasil e na Am??rica Latina, buscou-se aqui uma melhor identifica????o dos grupos integrantes das ???tecnoburocracias??? e de suas contribui????es para a moderniza????o administrativa e econ??mica do pa??s, na segunda metade do s??culo XX. Buscou-se revelar algumas conflu??ncias entre as ideias de tecnocratiza????o e profissionaliza????o das altas fun????es p??blicas e seus elos com as aspira????es pela reconstru????o do Estado sob bases mais democr??ticas, mostrando que, nos anos 1980, as propostas da SEDAP n??o eram os ??nicos projetos de moderniza????o em curso, tampouco os grupos que a elas se opuseram representavam interesses univocamente antidemocr??ticos.
