Voting for women candidates in village election : a case study of Aileu and Ermera municipalities, Timor-Leste in 2016

Wati De Sousa, Francisca Susila Ewha Womans University 2018 국내석사

Splitting from Indonesia in 1999, then becoming an independent state in 2002, Timor-Leste emerged as a new democratic state that follows best practices of modern states spread out across the globe. Engaging women’s in politics and other public institutions have been considerable values that every nation-state shares nowadays. Timor-Leste as being part of international communities is in the process of developing its society to comply with the international standard of democratic values. However, efforts to increase the number of women participation in politics still remain a big question in Timor-Leste’s society. The question comes from variations of women’s representation between national and local election level, as well as variations among the local elections. Considering, the number of national women representation seems to be more stable compared to the presentation of villages women participation, and the different achievement of women who elected in the local elections, the research was designed to respond the causalities. By employing descriptive analysis on the selected data from direct interview and other literature, this research found that some legal discrimination stipulated on electorate law contributed to shaping variation of women’s political representation either national or local level. Moreover, Non-Government Organization (NGOs) as expected to be an agent of effective transformation, did not provide maximal incentives to help achieved women’s participation in local politics. This research also recognized the impact of others variables such as economy incapacity, level of education, patriarchal values, and media coverage of discourse of gender inequality in Timor-Leste’s political life. Thus, this research is likely to suggest the revision of electoral laws, likewise strengthen networks, women organization and donors to improve women’s engagement in politics not only with quantity but also quality. 1999년 인도네시아에서 분리되어 2002년 독립 국가가 된 동티모르는 세계 전역에 퍼져있는 근대 국가의 모범 사례를 따르는 새로운 민주 국가로 부상했다. 여성을 정치 및 기타 공공 기관에 적극적으로 참여시키는 것은 최근 모든 국가 간 공유하는 긍정적인 가치이다. 티모르 - 레스 티 (Timor-Leste)는 국제 사회의 일원으로서 국제 사회의 민주적 가치 표준을 준수하기 위해 사회를 발전시키는 과정 중이다. 그러나 정치 참여 여성의 수를 늘리기 위한 노력은 여전히 티모르 - 레스 티 사회에서 큰 문제로 남아있다. 이 문제는 전국 선거 수준과 지방 선거 수준 사이의 여성 대표의 변화뿐만 아니라 지방 선거 간의 다양성에서도 비롯된다. 본 연구는 국가를 대표하는 여성의 수가 농촌 지역의 여성 참여에 비해 안정적이고 지역 선거를 통해 선출된 여성의 성취도가 다르다는 것을 고려했을 때의 인과 관계를 알아보기 위해 고안되었다. 이 연구는 다른 문헌 및 인터뷰를 통해 선별된 자료에 대한 기술적 분석을 통해 선거법에 규정 된 일부 법적 차별이 국가적 또는 지역적 차원에서 여성 정치적 변이의 형태를 변화시키는 데 기여했다는 사실을 발견했다. 또한 이는 효과적인 변화의 대리인이 될 것으로 예상되는 NGO’s 는 여성들이 지역 정치에 참여할 수 있는 최대한의 인센티브를 제공하지 못했음을 나타냈다. 더불어 경제 불능, 교육 수준, 가부장적 가치, 언론 취재 등과 같은 다른 변수들이 티모르 - 레스테 (Timor-Leste)의 정치 생활에서 남녀 불평등에 대한 담론에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 선거법의 개정을 제안하고 네트워크, 여성 조직 및 기부자를 강화하여 여성의 정치 참여를 양적인 면뿐만 아니라 질적으로도 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 제안해본다.

Effect of precipitation pattern of enzyme induced calcite on mechanical properties of treated sand

Batista Araujo de Sousa, Raul 한양대학교 대학원 2020 국내석사

The biocementation of sand through calcite precipitation is a promising approach that has been investigated for nearly 10 years as an attempt to find effective solutions to ground improvement challenges due to sustainability considerations. The literature reports significant variations of strength of treated soils for a given amount of precipitated CaCO3, which suggests that not only the amount of precipitated CaCO3 but also the precipitation pattern can also contribute to the strength of treated soils. Thus, in order to understand the reasons why different precipitation patterns can possibly lead to varying strength outcomes, the monitoring of precipitation characteristics of CaCO3 at pore scale might be a useful approach. This study aims to evaluate the effect of precipitation pattern on unconfined compressive strength of sand treated via enzyme induced calcite precipitation (EICP) technique. The micro-scale characteristics of CaCO3 (spatial distribution, type, size and amount) at 3 different precipitation conditions (EICP, skim milk-added EICP and EICP on calcite nanoparticle coated medium) was investigated through test tube, glass slide and microfluidic chip experiments. The outcomes of this observation were then linked to the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of sands treated under each of these conditions via column tests. The densely packed, homogeneous and small sized calcite oriented-crystallization pattern promoted by the nanoparticle-coated condition leaded to lower UCS values (maximum of 0.15 MPa at 5% CaCO3 content) while the sparsely distributed, large sized vaterite oriented-crystallization yielded higher values (maximum of 1.4 MPa at 3.9% CaCO3 content). The precipitation pattern of CaCO3 was found to greatly influence the UCS of EICP treated sand.

De Sousa, Ara?jo Tiago Hongik University 2019 국내석사

This thesis work explores how the queer community has been largely influencing the creative industry and gives special emphasis in the cosmetic and beauty field. Therefore, following the methodology of the Brazilian packaging specialist Fábio Mestriner (2002), grounding data about queer movement history and new technological approaches to makeup were combined in order to support our main theory: for the past 50 years, the LGBTQ community has been the main creative gear of our society. The insights collected through the research provided the foundation to conceptualize the future of a cosmetic brand and its retail strategy. Anal Plague Cosmetics, a brand and lifestyle devoted to unleash the personas inside of every multi-faceted human. The full process culminating in a capstone exhibition during the degree show at Hongik University is described and includes: naming design, branding, packaging design, augmented reality (AR) face filters development and the overall store experience. 본 논문은 화장품 및 뷰티 산업을 중심으로 창조 산업 속 퀴어 공동체의 영향력을 분석하고, 이에 어울리는 새로운 라이프 스타일 브랜드를 제시하는 것을 목표로 한다. 브라질 패키지 디자인 전공자 파비오 메스트리네 (2002)의 방법론을 바탕으로 퀴어 인권 보호 운동의 역사와 화장품 업계의 신기술에 관한 조사를 진행하였고, 이를 토대로 논문의 중심 이론인 지난 50년 동안 LGBTQ 공동체가 세계 사회 창조력의 중심에 있었음을 증명하고자 하였다. 이러한 다양한 연구 조사를 통해 미래지향적인 화장품 브랜드와 판매 마케팅 전략을 세워 구체적인 브랜드 개념화를 진행하였고, 인간의 다면적인 자아를 나타나는 라이프 스타일 브랜드 Anal Plague Cosmetics(똥꼬충 코스메틱스)를 구축하였다. 본 논문에서 네이밍 전략부터 브랜딩, 패키지 디자인, 증강 현실 얼굴 필터 개발 그리고 매장 경험까지 다양한 방면에서 진행되는 모든 과정을 자세히 서술하였고, 홍익대학교 국제전문대학원 졸업 전시회를 통해 퀴어 공동체 중심 브랜드의 새로운 사회적 관계와 그 가능성을 확인하였다.

A flexible and dynamic approach for reconfigurable software monitoring

Dias, Marcio de Sousa University of California, Irvine 2005 해외박사(DDOD)

Every day, our society becomes more dependent on complex software systems with high availability requirements, such as those present in telecommunications, air traffic control, power plants and distribution lines, among others. Maintenance and evolution of these systems are complex activities to accomplish, since these are performed during normal system operation. Complexity and dynamic evolution of systems with high-availability and dependability requirements bring some challenges for verification. These challenges are associated with necessary runtime modifications in the dynamic analysis. Basically, these modifications may affect the set of properties being verified and also the set of analysis services being performed. In this work, we present an approach that allows runtime adaptation of dynamic analysis performed by monitoring systems. Our approach is based on: composition of analysis from basic services; architectures for monitoring systems; service-oriented components, and; support to multiple specification languages. Our approach allows adaptation of dynamic analysis in order to properly handle the challenges faced when verifying highly available and dependable systems.

FAMILIAL PREFERENCES AND ECONOMIC CHOICES: DOES DISTRIBUTION MATTER? (FAMILIES, INCOME DISTRIBUTION, CONSUMPTION, SAVINGS, PRIVATE INFORMATION)

FERNANDES, ANA CRISTINA DE SOUSA THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO 1999 해외박사(DDOD)

In this dissertation, I characterize the dependence of a family's economic choices on the distribution of income across its members. Specifically, the question I seek to answer is whether families who differ only with respect to the distribution of income across their members will choose different consumption allocations or make dissimilar savings decisions, even holding total familial income constant. The consequences of income distribution are analyzed from the perspective of family members assumed to have altruistic feelings towards each other. In a stylized family of a parent and his child, the parent cares about the child and the child cares about the parent. Altruism is therefore “two-sided.” Family members are additionally assumed to be partially selfish by valuing their individual well-being more than the felicity of their relatives. In this sense, altruism is only “partial.” Altruism generates intra-family transfers which flow from relatives with low marginal utility from consumption to family members with higher marginal utility. However, its partial nature causes these transfers to occur only when the difference in marginal utilities across family members is sufficiently large. In the absence of familial transfers, individual income of family members is the sole determinant of individual consumption. When transfers take place, they offset income redistribution within the family, and the family's allocation of resources depends on total familial income, only. The partial nature of altruism also gives rise to conflicting interests over resource allocation. Once coupled with asymmetric information, positive transfers no longer exhibit redistributive neutrality as different income realizations convey information about privately observed actions exerted by family members. These implications of partial altruism reconcile reported empirical facts under a unified model of familial preferences. Dynamic extensions additionally establish the dependence of savings decisions on the distribution of income within the family.

Autonomic and metabolic effects of obstructive sleep apnea in childhood obesity

Oliveira, Flavia Maria Guerra de Sousa Aranha University of Southern California 2011 해외박사(DDOD)

The current evidence in adults suggests that, independent of obesity, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can lead to both autonomic dysfunction and impaired glucose metabolism. These relationships have been less well studied in children. Since sleep-disordered breathing occurs in over 13% of the obese pediatric population, knowledge about the autonomic and metabolic effects of OSA is crucial in determining the importance of OSA as an independent factor in promoting the development of childhood metabolic syndrome. The hypothesis in this study is that OSA severity in overweight/obese children is associated with both autonomic abnormality and insulin resistance. This study will also investigate if there is a direct association between autonomic dysfunction and insulin resistance. To evaluate this hypothesis, overnight polysomnographic studies and tests of metabolic and autonomic function were conducted in 22 obese male subjects (age: 13.4 +/- 2.1 years (mean +/- SD), BMI > 95% for age) with varying degrees of OSA severity (obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI): 1--14.1 events/h; desaturation index: 0.1--40.1). Exclusion criteria included diabetes and treatment for OSA. Each subject participated in a series of procedures that included: (1) polysomnography; (2) morning fasting blood samples, followed by a frequently-sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test (FSIVGTT); (3) dual energy X-ray absorptiometry for assessing adiposity; and (4) measurement of respiration, heart rate and noninvasive continuous blood pressure during supine and standing postures. Insulin sensitivity, disposition index (a measure of pancreatic beta cell function) and other Bergman minimal model parameters were derived from the FSIVGTT data. Baroreflex gain and respiratory cardiac coupling gain, computed using a minimal model of cardiorespiratory control, were taken to represent indices of autonomic function. For this sample of patients, insulin sensitivity was found to decrease with desaturation index. Insulin resistance (as measured by the HOMA index) and fasting insulin levels were correlated positively with sleep fragmentation, as represented by the total arousal index (TAI). The HOMA index (p = 0.025) and fasting insulin levels (p = 0.017), but not fasting glucose, were found to be significantly correlated to insulin sensitivity. Baseline autonomic function was found to be uncorrelated with all indices of OSA severity. However, autonomic reactivity to orthostatic stress (supine to standing) decreased with increasing TAI. Baseline autonomic function and autonomic reactivity to orthostatic stress were not correlated to insulin sensitivity or any other measure of insulin resistance, contrary to initial expectations. However, autonomic reactivity was found to be correlated with insulin resistance when OSA severity is also considered in the multiple regression model. In this case, both autonomic reactivity and OSA severity were correlated with insulin resistance. Elevated fasting glucose levels were found to be correlated with smaller autonomic adjustments to postural change (as measured by the baroreceptor reflex reactivity) when controlling for age, adiposity, and sleep efficiency, indicating impaired autonomic reactivity. These combined results suggest that insulin resistance is related not only to intermittent hypoxia (high desaturation index) and sleep fragmentation (high TAI) that accompanies OSA, but also to increased OSA severity through autonomic dysfunction. An additional speculation is that increased levels of baseline sympathetic modulation related to decreased sleep efficiency further contribute to metabolic dysfunction by increased fasting glucose levels, through sympathetically induced glycogen breakdown and gluconeogenesis.

Design and control issues in hybrid reconfigurable manufacturing systems

Basto, Jose Antonio de Sousa Barros Lehigh University 2000 해외박사(DDOD)

In this dissertation we study the concept of “H&barbelow;ybrid R&barbelow;econfigurable M&barbelow;anufacturing S&barbelow;ystems” or HRMS. The basic idea involves machines that can be easily moved from a Process layout to a Product layout (or vice-versa) thus allowing the configuration of the manufacturing system for <italic>individual product orders</italic>. A key question with respect to HRMS lies in the operational area. To date little or no work has been done which investigates the logistics of HRMS and the gains or losses in performance efficiency one can expect from such a system. The main contribution of this dissertation is the development of a method to decide how cells should be formed, when they should be formed, and how product should flow through the system. For the situations analyzed, the observed performance in comparison with a traditional functional layout offers significant improvement in terms of flow times of the jobs, and does not penalize the utilization of resources, as traditional fixed cells do. For the first time, a study of incremental reconfigurable cell formation was performed. We found that adding a single reconfigurable cell can significantly improve the overall flow time performance of a traditional process oriented manufacturing system. A “diminishing returns” phenomenon was observed when adding further cell bays to the HRMS. The behavior of HRMS as a function of important factors for its operation was studied and compared with our expectations. We point to the scenarios where major gains can be obtained by using this new production arrangement.
