Ilmastonmuutoksen vaikutus energialiiketoimintaan

Tässä kandidaatin työssä tarkasteltiin ilmastonmuutoksen vaikutuksia energialiiketoimintaan Suomessa. Ilmastonmuutoksen vaikutuksia on tutkittu RCAO- ilmastomallilla, missä luotiin ilmaston muuttumisen skenaariot eri ilmastotekijöille ajanjaksolle 2016- 2045. Mallin avulla saadut tulokset ovat suuntaa antavia ja niihin on suhtauduttava kriittisesti. Ilmastonmuutoksen myötä on odotettavissa, että vikojen määrä tulee lisääntymään. Suomessa suuri osa keskijänniteverkosta on rakennettu metsien läpi ja ne ovat erittäin vika-alttiita. Tuulisuuden lisääntyminen, ukkosmäärien kasvu ja tykkylumi lisäävät tulevaisuudessa metsien keskelle rakennettujen verkkojen vikoja ellei niitä kehitetä vikavarmemmiksi. Verkkojen siirtäminen teiden varsiin ja kaapelointiasteen lisääminen ovat varmasti oikeita ratkaisuja tulevaisuuden kannalta. Verkkoyhtiöille ilmastonmuutos aiheuttaa luultavasti enemmän haittoja kuin hyötyjä. Vikojen lisääntyminen ja kunnossapidon kasvu aiheuttavat kuluja ja heikentävät energialiiketoiminnan kannattavuutta. Verkon luotettavuuden parantaminen näkyy investointikustannusten kasvuna. Sadannan lisääntyminen ja routaantumisen vähentyminen pehmentää maata ja heikentää kunnossapitoon käytettävien koneiden liikkumista maastossa.

Interprétation du patrimoine culturel immatériel au musée du quai Branly : la (re)découverte de l’«autre» dans l’exposition «Kanak. L’art est une parole»

L’objectif de ce mémoire est de porter un regard critique sur l’exposition du patrimoine culturel immatériel kanak, dernièrement proposée au musée du quai Branly. Ayant pour objet de corriger l’élitisme de l’eurocentrisme, le postcolonialisme est un courant de pensée qui vise à repositionner les acteurs et enjeux marginaux. Interdisciplinaire, le discours postcolonial suscite une pluralité de perspectives pour inclure la voix des « autres ». Dans notre étude, nous choisissons de traiter du propos dans un cadre singulier. Notre approche se consacrera à l’interprétation de l’ « autre » par le musée du quai Branly, de manière à comprendre comment, aujourd’hui, la particularité du patrimoine culturel kanak y est exposée. Ce mémoire se propose d’effectuer un retour sur la venue du quai Branly dans le cadre de quelques problèmes récurrents concernant la perception et le traitement de l’objet nonoccidental, retour qui semble nécessaire à l’établissement d’un bilan sur les pratiques expositionnelles du patrimoine culturel immatériel dans l’exposition « Kanak. L’art est une parole ». Pour ce faire, les enjeux soulevés seront abordés dans les perspectives de l’histoire de l’art, de l’anthropologie et de la muséologie. Par la muséographie qu’il met en place, le musée fait part au public de son parti-pris quant au discours didactique qu’il souhaite lui transmettre. Les choix effectués pour la mise en exposition et sa contextualisation expriment la définition que le musée donne aux objets qu’il contient. Le musée du quai Branly est un cas particulier. Promu au rang de musée d’ « art premier » à son ouverture, il expose des objets ethnographiques venus d’Afrique, d’Océanie, des Amériques ou encore d’Asie pour leurs qualités esthétiques. Loin de nos préceptes occidentaux, la difficulté de ce musée est de rendre compte de l’histoire de ces objets. L’exemple de l’expression artistique kanak soulève le fond du problème dans la mesure où elle prend forme à travers des ressources orales.

Hermenéutica jurídica de la competencia en Colombia : estudio de la Cláusula de Prohibición General del artículo 7 de la Ley 256 de 1996

La tesis tiene como objetivo central, desde un punto de vista crítico en el que se resalta la influencia de la política y del sistema económico en las decisiones judiciales, exponer la forma en que las autoridades judiciales y administrativas han interpretado las normas que regulan la competencia en Colombia, específicamente el caso del artículo 7 de la Ley 256 de 1996. Y preguntarse si dependiendo del método de interpretación que se acoge al momento de fallar se busca reforzar o no el modelo económico liberal, en especial la adopción de los argumentos que sustentan la decisión.

Contra los métodos en el Derecho Internacional: una crítica a partir de su contribución para la realización de la función social de la dogmática jurídica

Este artículo tiene como objetivo investigar la utilidad de los métodos para el cumplimiento de la función social de la dogmática jurídica. En este contexto, los métodos son presentados como instrumentos para formular respuestas más precisas en el ámbito de la práctica jurídica. Se intentará demostrar la imposibilidad ontológica de logro en esta tarea. Los métodos no pueden conferir más certidumbre a los argumentos dogmáticos. Para poder demostrarlo, a través de investigación bibliográfica, se expondrá el debate sobre el método en la actualidad de la academia jurídica internacional, para después dedicarse a un ejemplo que sirve de punto de partida para el análisis del problema: la indeterminación del contenido de la costumbre internacional. Con base en los métodos más conocidos, se investigan las respuestas que pueden ofrecer al problema práctico de la costumbre. El resultado es negativo, lo que comprueba la hipótesis inicial: hay que abandonar el sueño de un método teórico de modelo deductivo para dar certidumbre a la "ciencia" del Derecho.

Alfredo Pareja: ensayista y crítico (Del Historiador y el Ensayista)

La autora revisa la ensayística de Alfredo Pareja sobre temas de arte colonial, cultura y literatura. Da cuenta de la evolución de su noción de lo artístico desde 1933, cuando Pareja marca distancia con la generación anterior y con el arielismo vigente, al hacer suya la defensa del realismo social, más adelante, sin embargo, matizaría estos juicios en otros ensayos. Su postura crítica, en términos generales, no defiende la originalidad ni la forma del texto por sí mismas, sino el valor del contenido, el humanismo empieza a ser el hilo conductor de su narrativa e iluminador de su estética. Por otro lado, siente la necesidad de resignificar lo local en su contacto con lo universal, reconociendo el afán de contemporaneidad de su generación, su defensa de lo mestizo está presente en sus reflexiones sobre el barroquismo latinoamericano. Finalmente, resulta interesante que Pareja aproxime dos grandes momentos del arte ecuatoriano: la pintura y escultura colonial de la llamada escuela de Quito, y la propuesta estética de su generación.

Estudo de um compósito de matriz cerâmica com carga de recicláveis para o uso na construção civi

With a view to revitalizing public environments through criteria that include economy, tourism, aesthetics and respect for the environment, this paper proposes a model of kiosk manufactured with composite material blocks, to be employed as a public instrument. . The model consists of a structure composed of planned blocks and manufactured in cement-based composite, gypsum, ground and water, having the styrofoam inside filled with pet bottles of 500 ml dose. The social and environmental issue is the critical point of the work when it can, through the reuse of environmentally harmful materials such as polyethylene terephthalate PET, using such modules for the construction of various areas of Commerce, promoting the protection of the environment combined with the improvement of the quality of life of the population. The tourism factor, which is significant in the economy of the North, is also considered as the modulated kiosk has a visual aspect innovative and differentiated. The environmental issue is addressed by encouraging the reuse of PET material and EPS (polystyrene)

Extração de feições retas com precisão subpixel: estudo comparativo entre três métodos

In the fields of Machine Vision and Photogrammetry, extracted straight lines from digital images can be used either as vector elements of a digital representation or as control entities that allow the determination of the camera interior and exterior orientation parameters. Applications related with image orientation require feature extraction with subpixel precision, to guarantee the reliability of the estimated parameters. This paper presents three approaches for straight line extraction with subpixel precision. The first approach considers the subpixel refinement based on the weighted average of subpixel positions calculated on the direction perpendicular to the segmented straight line. In the second approach, a parabolic function is adjusted to the grey level profile of neighboring pixels in a perpendicular direction to the segmented line, followed by an interpolation of this model to estimate subpixel coordinates of the line center. In the third approach, the subpixel refinement is performed with a parabolic surface adjustment to the grey level values of neighboring pixels around the segmented line. The intersection of this surface with a normal plane to the line direction generates a parabolic equation that allows estimating the subpixel coordinates of the point in the straight line, assuming that this is the critical point of this function. Three experiments with real images were made and the approach based on parabolic surface adjustment has presented better results.

Estudo das propriedades críticas do processo de contato por par para diferentes atualizações

We study the critical behavior of the one-dimensional pair contact process (PCP), using the Monte Carlo method for several lattice sizes and three different updating: random, sequential and parallel. We also added a small modification to the model, called Monte Carlo com Ressucitamento" (MCR), which consists of resuscitating one particle when the order parameter goes to zero. This was done because it is difficult to accurately determine the critical point of the model, since the order parameter(particle pair density) rapidly goes to zero using the traditional approach. With the MCR, the order parameter becomes null in a softer way, allowing us to use finite-size scaling to determine the critical point and the critical exponents β, ν and z. Our results are consistent with the ones already found in literature for this model, showing that not only the process of resuscitating one particle does not change the critical behavior of the system, it also makes it easier to determine the critical point and critical exponents of the model. This extension to the Monte Carlo method has already been used in other contact process models, leading us to believe its usefulness to study several others non-equilibrium models

Análises estatísticas em redes complexas: propriedades topológicas, críticas e dinâmicas

In this thesis, we address two issues of broad conceptual and practical relevance in the study of complex networks. The first is associated with the topological characterization of networks while the second relates to dynamical processes that occur on top of them. Regarding the first line of study, we initially designed a model for networks growth where preferential attachment includes: (i) connectivity and (ii) homophily (links between sites with similar characteristics are more likely). From this, we observe that the competition between these two aspects leads to a heterogeneous pattern of connections with the topological properties of the network showing quite interesting results. In particular, we emphasize that there is a region where the characteristics of sites play an important role not only for the rate at which they get links, but also for the number of connections which occur between sites with similar and dissimilar characteristics. Finally, we investigate the spread of epidemics on the network topology developed, whereas its dissemination follows the rules of the contact process. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the competition between states (infected/healthy) sites, induces a transition between an active phase (presence of sick) and an inactive (no sick). In this context, we estimate the critical point of the transition phase through the cumulant Binder and ratio between moments of the order parameter. Then, using finite size scaling analysis, we determine the critical exponents associated with this transition

A questão do estilo na psicanálise lacaniana

Lacanian psychoanalysis has won a considerable space in brazilian university: a search for Lacan in the field of subject of the CAPES Thesis Bank shows 1.032 results! However the difference in the style of knowledge production and language usage is considerable between academic psychology and lacanian theory. The difficulty in reading and understanding Lacan is something pointed out by supporters and critics alike. In addition to that, his disciples choose many times to imitate his baroque, complex style, full of neologisms, causing perplexity in many unprepared audiences. What is the origin of such an enigmatic and polemic style of expression? How it became so widespread under the sign of repetition? And which are the consequences of this style to the communication, transmission and teaching of lacanian psychoanalysis? Through these questions it is our goal to contribute to the dialogue between lacanian psychoanalysis and the academy, to provide a better understanding of the causes of this style, analyzing the consequences it has to the transmission of psychoanalysis. We chose to perform a theoretical study, using authors that have treated Lacan s style and the history of psychoanalysis from a critical point of view, like Beividas (2000), Roustang (1987, 1988) and Gellner (1988), and also those that have defended and justified its legitimacy, like Glynos e Stavrakakis (2001), Fink (1997) and Souza (1985), using as well some works by Freud and Lacan. The study of these texts has led us to three main themes: 1) the difficulty of the lacanian text; 2) Lacan, heir of Freud; 3) consequences of the lacanian style. In the first one, we enumerate many different explanations and interpretations given by commentators about the difficulty and particularity of the lacanian discourse; in the second, we show how Lacan came to occupy the place of great idealization that was before destined to Freud, what made his style something to be taken as a model, to be imitated by disciples; in the third, we explore the way in which the concepts are treated in lacanian psychoanalysis, arguing that their multiple meanings point out that the final goal is not to build a clear and coherent theory, but to try to aim directly at the subject, to catch him

DIRAC CONFINEMENT BY A VARIATIONAL APPROACH

An analytical approximate method for the Dirac equation with confining power law scalar plus vector potentials, applicable to the problem of the relativistic quark confinement, is presented. The method consists in an improved version of a saddle-point variational approach and it is applied to the fundamental state of massless single quarks for some especial cases of physical interest. Our treatment emphasizes aspects such as the quantum-mechanical relativistic Virial theorem, the saddle-point character of the critical point of the expectation value of the total energy, as well as the Klein paradox and the behaviour of the saddle-point variational energies and wave functions.

O labirinto dificultoso da poesia de Frederico Barbosa

Frederico Barbosa’s poetry builds an intricate and amazing maze of words and meanings in which negativity and emptiness concepts emerge to be the expressing voice of the lyric subject. This article aims to follow the routes of this poetry in terms of its poetic and linguistic procedures, of giving shape to its critical point of view on poetry itself and on the fears and edges of humanity.
