The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore faculty members’ accounts of their experiences as first-time online instructors during the Spring 2020 academic semester as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting mandatory shift to online instruction. The rapid and widespread nature of the outbreak created an unprecedented phenomenon that significantly impacted instructors with no prior experience teaching courses in a fully online fashion. I interviewed 10 professors from various disciplines with at least three years of teaching experience in the traditional classroom. Each instructor was asked to express how the pandemic affected them personally as well as how the mandatory shift to online instruction affected their teaching style. They were also asked to describe the role that institutional support played in their experiences during the pandemic and to share their feelings regarding how COVID-19 has altered the future of higher education. The analysis of this data identified the following common themes: the instructor, the discipline, the students, survival and adaptation, innovation and evolution, on-camera presence and etiquette, synchronous versus asynchronous, administrative leadership, technical support, the new normal and the lasting effects, the balance between in-person and remote instruction, and the notion that higher education is moving forward to a new reality rather than backward to a pre-COVID-19 atmosphere. These results can benefit institutional leadership and faculty in the development of hybrid and online courses.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka sfi-lärares erfarenheter av distansundervisning under våren 2020. Studiens fokus ligger på att undersöka hur digitala verktyg anpassades till elevernas olikheter, hur kommunikationen med eleverna etablerades och vilka arbetssätt och metoder som kännetecknade sfi-lärares distansundervisning. Genom att beskriva omställningen till distansundervisning orsakade av pandemier som SARS och Covid-19, redogörs för de utmaningar och möjligheter som lärare ställs inför i den digitala klassrumsmiljön. Därefter lyfts teoretiska aspekter kring kommunikation och lärarrollen i att skapa relationer med eleverna i den digitala lärmiljön. För att förstå fenomenet med distansutbildningen i sin helhet redovisas vidare utgångspunkter som bör tas hänsyn till när en sådan utbildning utformas och designas. Detta är en empirisk studie där metodtriangulering har använts med både kvantitativa och kvalitativa undersökningar. Totalt deltog 126 respondenter i webbenkät och sex respondenter i semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet pekar på att lärarnas förhållningssätt till distansundervisning under pandemin och ojämlikhet i elevers digitala kompetens och elevernas bristfälliga tillgång till digitala teknik i samband med omställningen, var avgörande för hur nya arbetssätt och undervisningsstrategier formades. Sfi-lärarna använde sig av de digitala verktyg och digitala resurser som redan var inarbetade i klassrumsundervisningen. Både synkron och asynkron kommunikation tillämpades i stor utsträckning, där synkron kommunikation värdesattes tack vare dess likhet med det fysiska klassrummets upplägg och asynkron kommunikation ökade tillgänglighet till undervisningsmaterial. Sfi-lärarnas utmaningar bestod av svårigheter att vara tillgängliga för de elever som behövde stöd och att följa upp elevernas lärandeprocesser på distans.The purpose of this study is to investigate sfi-teachers’ experiences of distance education in the spring of 2020. The study focuses on examining how digital tools were adapted to students’ differences, how communication with students was established and what teaching methods characterized sfi teachers’ distance education. By describing the transition to distance education caused by pandemics such as SARS and Covid-19, the challenges and opportunities that teachers face in the digital classroom environment are described. Thereafter, theoretical aspects of communication and the teacher’s role in creating relationships with students in the digital learning environment are highlighted. In order to understand the phenomenon of distance education in its entirety, further points of departure are presented that should be taken into account when such education is designed. This is an empirical study where method triangulation with both quantitative and qualitative studies. A total of 126 respondents responded to the online survey and six respondents participated in semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that the teachers’ approach to distance education during the pandemic, and the inequality in students’ digital competence and the students’ inadequate access to digital technology in connection with the transition, were decisive for how new teaching methods and teaching strategies were formed. Sfi teachers used the digital tools and digital resources that were already incorporated in the classroom education. Both synchronous and asynchronous communication were applied to a large extent, where synchronous communication was valued thanks to its similarity to the physical classroom layout and asynchronous communication because of the increased accessibility to teaching materials. The sfi teachers’ teaching challenges consisted of difficulties in being available to the students who needed support and in following up the students’ learning processes at a distance.

The water resource field is among those areas expected to benefit from nanotechnology, its application holding special promise for treatment and remediation; sensing and detection; and pollution prevention. That cuts a rather wide swath in the water resources field. The nanorevolution or movement is being met with both optimism and caution as scientists ponder how best to take advantage of its benefits and at the same time understand and reckon with its possible risks.

Eutrophication is an increasing problem in the Baltic Sea and is caused by an excess of nutrients in the water which are primarily transported with the runoff from cultivated land. The peninsula Vikbolandet in Östergötland is dominated by arable land and has stream outflows to the bays of Bråviken and Slätbaken. In this study five streams of Vikbolandet have been sampled during the spring flood period with the aim of connecting concentrations of nutrients in the streams with turbidity and runoff in the catchment. This analysis has then been related to the land use in the small catchment of Vadsbäcken in order to investigate the impact of land uses with areal losses of phosphorus. The results indicate that there are increasing concentrations of phosphorus downstream in the sites of Vadsbäcken and that the transported amounts of phosphorus increases with the spring flood and at a rainstorm event. It is shown that the distribution of agricultural blocks in the catchment of Vadsbäcken has a major impact on the nutrient leakage. There is a co-variation between turbidity and runoff during a rainstorm event and between particulate-bound phosphorus and runoff over time. A further aim has been to investigate possibilities for use of an easily managed, cost-effective environmental monitoring method for nutrient measurements in watercourses. Within four out of five streams at Vikbolandet there is a significant co-variation between turbidity and total phosphorus. Using field measurements of turbidity for environmental monitoring could provide a viable alternative for environmental monitoring of watercourses but will need further investigations of co-variation before being brought into use. Further, this study shows that the transport of phosphorus is underestimated in environmental monitoring

Price competition between the United States and Canada in the hard spring wheat markets of Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia are examined using annual data over a thirty year period. A four-equation system of supply and demand functions is used to estimate parameters that measure the price relationship of U.S. and Canadian hard spring wheat in each market. The models were estimated with three stage least squares procedures. Besides the parameters measuring price movement of hard spring wheat in the South Korean and Indonesian markets, results are generally not statistically different from zero. Supply and demand equations in the Japanese market have common estimated parameters that are the correct sign and statistically significant. Econometric results of the Japanese market indicate that the United States and Canada are acting as noncolluding oligopolists. Comparing the mixed results of the South Korean and Indonesian markets with those of the Japanese market suggest that the United States and Canada are not competing as strongly in the Japanese market as they are in South Korea and Indonesia.

Bakgrund: Den fysiska aktiviteten behandlas utifrån olika aspekter. Däribland kommer fysisk aktivitet och rörelse, fritidspedagogers deltagande, utomhuspedagogikens och miljöns betydelse för fysisk aktivitet att lyftas. Styrdokumenten och vår teoretiska utgångspunkt är två delar som även presenteras närmare. Syfte: Vårt syfte är att undersöka vad några fritidspedagoger och några barn har för upp-fattningar om fysisk aktivitet i fritidshemmet. Metod: Vi har valt att genomföra en kvalitativ studie med intervju som redskap. Intervju-erna gjordes i tre olika kommuner och innefattar både barn och fritidspedagoger som re-spondenter. Resultat: I vår studie framkom det att barnen uppfattar fysisk aktivitet som en idrott me-dan fritidspedagogerna förknippar det med fysiologiska effekter av en aktivitet. Det visade sig finnas en stor okunskap bland fritidspedagogerna gällande innehållet i styrdokumenten, i förhållande till fysisk aktivitet. Dock fanns en ambition om förbättring och utveckling. Det visade sig finnas ett stort missnöje med de lokaler som fritidshemmen får nyttja. Utomhus-miljön ses som ett extra rum som kompletterar lokalerna i fritidsverksamheten. Lokalerna ses inte som ändamålsenliga för verksamheten. Barnen uppfattar vissa fritidspedagoger som slöa och anser att de sällan deltar i fysiska aktiviteter. Vissa barn tycker att det blir lugnare inne på fritidshemmet om de först får vara ute och aktivera sig fysiskt.

The species concept in microbiology is under considerable debate. Some scientists believe that traditional approaches are adequate, while others search for more natural concepts. The ecotype concept (ecological species concept) was evaluated in this work. Two temperature sites of a well-studied microbial mat system in Yellowstone National Park were investigated. Previous molecular analyses with 16S rRNA and the adjacent internal transcribed spacer (ITS) suggested the dominance of two putative ecotypes (PEs) of cyanobacteria in these sites, Synechococcus genotypes A and B'. Higher resolution molecular approaches were developed to address the hypotheses that (i) there are more Synechococcus PEs than those discerned by 16S rRNA/ITS sequence variation, (ii) these PEs exhibit distinct ecological distribution patterns and (iii) recombination has been less important than mutation in shaping the evolution of these Synechococcus populations. Analysis of single protein-encoding loci revealed more sample-specific PEs than previously detected, but didn't account for recombination. Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries were constructed to sample multiple loci near 16S rRNA genes for multi-locus sequence analyses (MLSA). Analysis of BAC clone end sequences revealed that 16S rRNA regions of the genomes of Synechococcus A- and B'-like populations have undergone rearrangement. Multiple BAC loci were analyzed using two population genetics algorithms; Evolutionary Simulation (ES) and eBURST. ES of concatenated MLSA sequences, but not eBURST analysis, suggested a much greater number of PEs than were detected by 16S rRNA and ITS and provided stronger evidence of sample-specificity. Recombination, suggested by phylogenetic incongruency among loci, multiple recombination tests and polymorphism patterns, appears to have been more frequent than mutation, but not to have erased ecotype structure. Many PEs predicted by ES contained a dominant variant surrounded by rare variants. eBURST predicted some clonal complexes with the same dominant variant, but different rare variants. ES appears to miss phylogenetically distant variants that differ at one locus, whereas eBURST appears to miss phylogenetically similar variants that differ at >1 locus. True ecotype populations in nature may contain both types of variants, but this must be evaluated by examining the distribution of all variants relative to environmental gradients.

The objective of this study was to compare hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain yield (agronomic returns) and grain value (economic returns) of variable rate and uniform nitrogen (N) management using a data set obtained from eight on-farm experiments conducted over an eleven year period (1994-2004). Field experiments were established near Simpson, Malta, Havre, and Highwood, Montana using a strip trial design where N rates were varied in replicated strips along the length of each field. A digital elevation model was created for each field site using survey quality global positioning system data. Digital elevation models were segregated into four landscape classes or management zones (Upper Slopes, Middle North Facing Slopes, Middle South Facing Slopes, and Lower Slopes) using global information system software. Geo-referenced grid soil samples were collected at each field site location to determine background soil N levels. Geo-referenced yield and protein samples were collected at all field sites using a production sized combine equipped with yield monitor. The economic analysis consisted of partial budget analysis where only the changes in costs and revenues between variable rate and uniform N management were considered as part of net returns. In addition, spatial least squares (SLS) analysis was used as the basis for establishing whether wheat yields from variable rate N management were significantly greater than those from uniform N management. The SLS analysis failed to detect a significant difference in grain yield between variable rate and uniform N management. Variable N management used more fertilizer N and was less profitable than uniform N management in seven of the eight cases. Revenues from variable N management were insufficient to offset associated costs for needed information, hardware, and software. However, if Environmental Quality Incentive Program payments of $34.57 were considered as part of net income then variable rate N management was more profitable in all cases. Little evidence existed in this study that variable rate N management improves agronomic returns and profits, or reduces N use, especially in water limited conditions found in northern Montana.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Karst springs are an essential source of private water supply in northeast Tennessee for various end-users. There are no regulatory standards for private (drinking) water quality in the state, unlike the public water system, while water users are only advised to test for contaminants in private water sources like springs or private wells. Water quality generally is spatially and temporally dynamic in terms of chemical quality, and more prominently in a karst environment, therefore, this study investigates the water quality of roadside springs used for drinking water. Parameters to be measured include E. coli, radon, and various physicochemical properties (pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, chloride, fluoride, sulfide, nitrite, and nitrate). I plan to collect 51 water samples from 51 spring locations so that spatial patterns in spring water quality can be evaluated using spatial interpolation, statistical correlation, or spatial regression. Spring water quality results will be compared to water quality of the streams into which these springs discharge. Preliminary work to be presented here includes identification of sampling sites and sampling strategies and integration of existing data, including geology and spring water quality data from a prior related study. Key findings will guide the delineation of the studied karst springs into risk regions for microbial, chemical, and radioactive content, and identification of key factors associated with high risk regions.

This thesis aims to bridge social movement studies with media and communication studies, taking the case study of the Arab Spring in Tunisia and combining quantitative and qualitative approach. Methodologically, this thesis integrates social network analysis with qualitative content analysis and semi- structured interviews. The main objective is to give an account Tunisia’s digital network before and during the Arab Spring, along with its relationship with the social movement that characterized the Arab Spring in Tunisia. Overall, our research has identified a series of dynamics which determine the patterns of diffusion of information through digital networks. Our findings demonstrate that this networks tends to be highly participatory, but that it is also hierarchical, showing a power- law distribution. Nevertheless, this type of power distribution allows much information to spread quickly and reach a wide audience. Moreover, our study shows that the combination of online and offline networks was essential for the success of the Tunisian uprising.Esta tesis tiene el objetivo de proporcionar un puente entre las disciplinas de sociología y comunicación. Tomando como estudio de caso la primavera árabe en Túnez, esta investigación combina el enfoque cuantitativo y cualitativo. Metodológicamente en esta tesis se lleva a cabo un análisis de redes sociales, combinándolo con análisis de contenido cuantitativo y entrevistas semiestructuradas. El objetico principal es el de dar cuenta de la red digital de Túnez antes y durante la primavera árabe. En general, los resultados han identificado una serie de dinámicas que determinan los patrones de difusión de información a través de redes digitales. Nuestros resultados demuestran que estas redes tienden a ser más participativas, pero también jerárquicas. Esta estructura permite difundir más información en menor tiempo y llegar a un público más amplio. Por otra parte, nuestro estudio ha demostrado, además, que en nuestro caso de estudio resultó esencial la combinación de redes digitales y personales para el éxito de la primavera árabe en Túnez.

The Arab Spring of 2011 revealed stark variation in the durability of different types of authoritarian regimes. Kings and emirs demonstrably outperformed their republican peers. This paper provides a qualitative study of the Moroccan monarchy in order to better explain this pattern. The findings of an original media content analysis support the paper's thesis that Morocco's King Mohammed VI maintained his throne by effectively using a historically derived position of concentrated power and immense wealth to manipulate potential opposition and dominate public discourse. This multi-causal mechanism of manufactured consent helped create and sustain the monarch's domestic legitimacy while alienating his opponents. Importantly, the illusion of a free media bolsters his image with Western political elites, thus, drawing greater external support and reducing the cost of repression.

Cette thèse contribue à la littérature sur les manifestations, la participation des femmes au marché du travail et la migration de retour. Le premier chapitre examine l’impact des manifestations égyptiennes de 2011 sur les conditions du marché du travail des femmes en utilisant des données en panel d’avant et d’après la révolution. En utilisant la méthode des doubles différences ainsi que des données sur les «martyrs» de la révolution égyptienne, les résultats suggèrent que les manifestations de 2011 ont réduit les écarts homme-femme en termes de participation au marché du travail au sein du ménage, à travers l’effet du travailleur additionnel. Le deuxième chapitre examine l’impact de la migration temporaire sur la mobilité professionnelle des migrants de retour vis-à-vis des non-migrants. En employant l’approche de variable instrumentale, des doubles différences et des doubles différences combinées avec la méthode d’appariement, les résultats mettent en avant un effet positif de la migration de retour sur la mobilité professionnelle et surtout, pour les migrants de retour les plus éduqués. Le troisième chapitre examine l’impact des première et deuxième vagues de manifestations égyptiennes sur les résultats électoraux durant les premières élections libres et compétitives égyptiennes. Le résultat principal est qu’une exposition élevée aux manifestations mène à un pourcentage de votes plus élevé pour les candidats de l’ancien régime durant les deux tours de scrutin. Les résultats mettent aussi en lumière que les manifestions ont eu des répercussions conservatrices, aux côtés de prévisions économiques négatives, de l’insatisfaction générale à l’égard de la performance du gouvernement, de la réduction des niveaux de confiance envers les institutions publiques et de la reconnaissance croissante des limitations aux libertés civiles et politiquesThis thesis contributes to the literature on protests, women’s labor force participation and return migration. The first chapter examines the effects of the 2011 Egyptian protests on the relative labor market conditions of women using panel data from before and after the protests. Using Difference-in-Differences approach and a unique dataset on the Egyptian “martyrs", the results suggest that the 2011 protests have reduced intra-household differences in labor force participation between husband and wife, through an added-worker effect. The second chapter examines whether temporary international migration enables returnees to climb the occupational ladder compared to non-migrants. Using an instrumental variable approach, Difference-in-Differences and Difference-in-Differences matching techniques, the results suggest that return migration increases the probability of upward occupational mobility, in particular for returnees who belong to the upper end of the educational distribution. The third chapter examines the effects of the first and second waves of Egyptian protests, on voting outcomes during Egypt’s first free presidential elections. The main finding of this chapter is that higher exposure to protests’ intensity leads to a higher share of votes for former regime candidates, both during the first and second rounds of Egypt’s first presidential elections after the uprisings. Results also suggest that the protests led to a conservative backlash, alongside negative economic expectations, general dissatisfaction with government performance, decreasing levels of trust towards public institutions, and increasing recognition of limitations on civil and political liberties

Purpose: To investigate the differential effects of solutions providing varying concentrations of carbohydrate and/or protein ingested between 200-meter sprints on sprint time. Subjects: Recruitment was from the Georgia State University track and field team. Methods: The study protocol was approved by the Georgia State University IRB. Ten subjects, 18 to 21 years of age, consented to be included in the study. Nine subjects (7 females; 2 males) completed trial 1, six subjects (5 females; 1 male) completed trial 2, and three subjects (2 females; 1 male) completed the final trial. Each trial consisted of a 200-meter sprint followed by the immediate ingestion of a post-exercise recovery beverage within the first fifteen minutes of a one-hour recovery period. Following the one-hour of recovery, subjects sprinted a second 200-meter sprint. Beverage solutions were formulated to contain 1.2 g of protein (PRO), 1.2 g carbohydrate (CHO), or 1.2 g carbohydrate with protein (CHO/PRO) per kg of subject body weight. Using a single blind, non-randomized design, subjects received the same recovery beverage in each trial. Each trial consisted of either PRO (trial 1), CHO (trial 2), or CHO/PRO (trial 3), with one week separating trials. Sprint times were recorded in seconds and ten hundredths of a second using a manual, digital stopwatch. Results: During PRO, two subjects sprinted faster (x= -.25 sec), three subjects saw no change in sprint time, and four subjects sprinted slower (x= +.98 sec). During CHO, two female subjects sprinted faster between sprints (x= -.85 sec); and all other subjects (n=4) sprinted slower (x= +.73 sec). During CHO/PRO, no subjects sprinted faster from sprint 1 to sprint 2 (x= +.33 sec) Conclusions: Post-exercise nutritional supplementation effects varied among subjects, with some subjects performing better following PRO, while others experiencing improvements with CHO. In general, subjects performed better following consumption of the CHO beverage. Of those who ran faster between sprints, the CHO beverage resulted in an average improvement of -.85 sec, while the PRO beverage resulted in an average improvement of -.25 sec. On average, CHO resulted in faster 2nd sprints (x= +.20 sec) than the PRO beverage (x= +.47 sec) or the CHO/PRO beverage (x= +.33 sec). Continued research in this population is necessary for elucidation of study results. This investigation may serve as the foundation for future, related studies.

When the Arab Spring took place, it took the world by surprise and sparked renewed interest in the idea of revolution. With differing opinions on what caused such a revolutionary wave throughout the North African and Middle Eastern region, many began looking at their own countries, and South Africa was no different. A debate was sparked in South Africa, as to whether there would be a revolution or not. What I originally set out to accomplish is to find out which side of the debate would be correct through the philosophical context of revolutionary theory. Initially, we attempted to define and consider the history of revolutionary theory. We found that revolutionary theory has gone through four generation and that even finding a theoretically informed definition is difficult. Following this, we considered some social-psychological theories of revolution as well as theories of moral indignation. We found that these theories were incredibly informative and that they provide some insight into the reasoning for revolutionary fear in the South African debate. Through the use of opinion pieces, we then considered the South African debate, and – using socialpsychological theories and the theories of moral indignation - found that both sides of the argument had valuable points, however, they often lacked some foresight. With tentative agreement, we found that the side arguing that there would a revolution in South Africa had a more valuable argument, despite its limitations. However, far more research is required before one can – with more accuracy – predict a revolutionary occurrence in such a way as was done in South Africa.

The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis is to obtain understanding and knowledge about how literary scholars collaborate regarding information. Seven scholars have been studied in the aim to find out social and cultural elements which create particular prerequisites for their practice, with focus on information sharing. The method used has consisted of semi-structured interviews. The informants have been studied from a socio cultural and domain analysis starting point, which means that they are studied in the light of being members in their practice. The result of the study has shown that information sharing is not limited to any specific type of information. Different types of information are for example reviews and book tips. Collaboration regarding information considerable occurs in informal situations, for example at the time of lunch and in spontaneous conversations. Formal situations consist of conferences and seminars. Another situation of collaboration is supervision. The most useful communication resource is e-mail. To obtain this information my key questions are formulated about collaboration regarding information, such as types of information, situations and communication resources. The earlier studies which are used in this thesis were chosen by the author in an initial phase, and then the work went on with the interviews. The analysis and discussion led then to my conclusions I show in the summary and also in brevity in this section.

In questo lavoro di ricerca si è tentato di rispondere alla domanda se la teoria dell’universalità di certi diritti come quelli riguardanti i vulnerabili, in particolare le minoranze, donne e bambini, possa essere estesa anche a Paesi di fede musulmana che, al contrario, insistono sulla specificità culturale. È il caso della Tunisia che si è scelto di studiare in virtù del suo passato ricco di civilizzazioni e del nuovo processo di democratizzazione in corso, senza trascurare l’importanza della sua adesione a interessanti accordi internazionali come il Patto di Barcellona. Si è quindi compreso che l’ostacolo alla protezione di certi diritti non può essere attribuito solo alla religione poiché, anche se le diverse confessioni non esistessero, non sarebbe ugualmente facile garantire il rispetto incondizionato dei diritti dei vulnerabili, in particolare di quelle minoranze come gli handicappati e gli omosessuali, che non possono mai diventare, né diventeranno, una maggioranza. Al fine di ridurre e / o risolvere queste forti disparità relative a qualsivoglia ordinamento giuridico, compreso quello del Paese studiato, sarà necessario rendere la libertà di coscienza un principio generale ed efficace erga omnes e assicurare che la società civile sia rafforzata e sensibilizzata verso la tutela dei diritti fondamentali. Ciò dovrà avvenire non solo a livello locale ma universale, attraverso un dialogo tra maggioranze e minoranze, nel segno della vera democrazia, superando l'ostilità delle élites politiche che, il più delle volte, dietro le varie dichiarazioni di principio calpestano i diritti umani per scopi economici.The aim of this work is to answer the research question of whether the theory of universality of certain rights such as those concerning the vulnerable, in particular minorities, women and children, can also be extended to muslim countries, which still insist on cultural specificity instead. Consequently, we decided to study the case of Tunisia, because of both its past full of different civilizations, and the new ongoing process of democratization, and the importance of its subscription to interesting international agreements, such as the Barcelona Pact. What was understood within this thesis is that the obstacle to the protection of certain rights cannot be blamed only on religion; in fact, even if different religions did not exist, it would not be easy as well to guarantee the unconditional respect of the rights of the vulnerable, especially of those minorities such as handicapped and homosexsuals, that unfortunately cannot and will never become a majority. Therefore, in order to reduce and / or resolve these strong disparities related to any legal system, including that of the studied country, it will be necessary to make freedom of conscience a general and effective principle erga omnes, and to ensure that civil society is strengthened and sensitized towards the protection of fundamental rights. This will have to take place not only on a local but also on a universal level, by exploiting dialogue between majorities and minorities, according to the principles of a real democracy. In this way, it would be possible to finally overcome the hostility of political élites which, most of the times, in spite of the various peaceful declarations, trample human rights for economic purposes.
En este trabajo de investigación se ha intentado responder a la pregunta si la teoría de la universalidad de algunos derechos, en particular aquellos de las personas indefensas, las minorías, mujeres y niños, pueda ser extendida también a los países de fe musulmana que, al contrario, insisten en la diversidad cultural. Es el caso de Túnez, el cual se ha elegido de estudiar teniendo en cuenta su pasado rico de civilizaciones y del nuevo proceso de democratización en curso, sin pasar por alto la importancia de su adhesión a los interesantes acuerdos internacionales, como el Pacto de Barcelona. Entonces se ha entendido que el obstáculo de la protección de algunos derechos no puede ser atribuido solo a la religión, ya que si las diversas religiones no existieran, no sería fácil garantizar el respeto incondicional de los derechos de los más vulnerables, en particular de aquellas minorías como las personas con discapacidad y homosexuales, que no pueden nunca convertirse, ni se convertirán, en una mayoría. Con el fin de reducir y/o eliminar estas fuertes desigualdades relacionadas con cualquier ordenamiento jurídico, incluido el país objeto de estudio, será necesario hacer de la libertad de conciencia un principio general con eficacia erga omnes y asegurar que la sociedad civil se vea reforzada y sensibilizada hacia la protección de los derechos fundamentales. Esto tendrá que suceder no solo a nivel local sino también universal, a través de un dialogo entre mayorías y minorías, bajo el signo de la verdadera democracia, superando la hostilidad de las élites políticas, que en la mayoría de los casos, detrás de las diferentes declaraciones de principios, pisotean los derechos humanos por objetivos económicos.

This thesis had three objectives: i) Determining distribution of FCR and common root rot (CRR) of wheat in Montana; ii) Determining population dynamics between F. pseudograminearum and Bipolaris sorokiniana at different wheat development stages, and iii) Development of an integrated disease management program for Fusarium crown rot (FCR) using biological and fungicide seed treatments, cultivar resistance, and induced systemic resistance (SAR). Surveys of 91 fields over two years using qPCR identified FCR in 57% and CRR in 93% of the fields surveyed. Bipolaris sorokiniana, F. culmorum and F. pseudograminearum were isolated from 15, 13 and 8% of tillers respectively. FCR distribution was highly clustered while CRR was uniformly distributed with soil type, elevation and growing degree days influencing distribution. Data from intensively sampled fields estimated yield losses caused by FCR and CRR at 3.2 to 34.9% with losses influenced by pathogen population. This study is the first time qPCR was used to survey the distribution of FCR and CRR and to study the interaction of the respective pathogens. The effect of F. pseudograminearum and B. sorokiniana inoculum applied singly or in combination at three rates showed high and low rates of F. pseudograminearum inoculum reduced Bipolaris populations, while B. sorokiniana inoculations did not affect Fusarium populations in stems. Populations of both pathogens increased from heading until harvest with Fusarium colonizing stems earlier than Bipolaris. Mixed inoculations increased incidence of infection and co-infection relative to that observed in production fields. Both fungi alone or combined reduced the seedling counts. Grain yield was inversely correlated with Fusarium populations. Difenoconazole-mefenoxam seed treatment reduced FCR severity between 29.3-50% and fungal and bacterial seed treatments were ineffective. The cv. Volt was identified as partially resistant and had the highest levels of chitinase and beta-1, 3-glucanase activity of cultivars evaluated. Induction of SAR by Bacillus mycoides isolate BmJ or acibenzolar Smethyl significantly reduced the severity of FCR compared to water controls. Integration of cultivar resistance plus fungicide seed treatment or SAR induction provided equal control in greenhouse and irrigated trials. In a dryland field trial, integration of all management tools reduced FCR more than individual tools.

Cette thèse utilise une approche de type théorie ancrée, en constituant un corpus de 252 vidéos d’informations, diffusées par Al Jazeera English, Press TV English, Euronews English et France 24 English, sur les événements du Printemps Arabe, pour apporter des réponses aux trois questions suivantes : [QR1] : Comment les institutions dominantes de l’information ont elles affecté le flux de l’information internationale pendant les événements du Printemps Arabe ? [QR2] : Comment les événements du Printemps Arabe furent représentés sous forme de reportages ? Et [QR3] : Comment les contributions à l’information ont-elles été utilisées pour construire les reportages internationaux ? Les vidéos d’informations du corpus sont étudiées à travers une Analyse Critique du Discours. Par conséquent, l’analyse est complémentée par une recherche documentaire et par une recherche empirique, sous la forme d’interviews, sur les institutions dominantes de l’information du Printemps Arabe, comprenant les chaines d’information mentionnées précédemment ainsi que l’agence de presse AFP et l’agence UGC Crowdspark. De plus, les paysages de l’information et des médias du Bahreïn, de l’Egypte, de la Libye, de l’Arabie Saoudite, de la Syrie, de la Tunisie et du Yémen, entre 2011 et 2013, ont également été étudiés à partir de recherche documentaire. Il est apparu que tous ces pays avaient des lois strictes sur l’accès à l’information et la publication, tout particulièrement quand ces informations concernaient les autorités, la religion ou la sécurité du pays, amenant des actes de censure stricts et des menaces, qui ont eux-mêmes conduit à l’autocensure chez les acteurs de l’information locaux et internationaux. Cette recherche a montré que la plupart des événements du Printemps Arabe ont été représentés en utilisant des images des lieux des événements, avec une représentation internationale minime et avec des modèles de représentation de manifestations pacifiques lors des soulèvements en Egypte, en Syrie et au Yémen et des modèles de représentation d’émeutes violentes lors des soulèvement Bahreïnis et Tunisiens. Des modèles mettant en scène la destruction ou des explosions ont pu être observés dans les pays en proie à une quelconque forme de conflit, à savoir en Libye et en Syrie. Les images de mort et de souffrance étaient peu répandues et seulement prédominantes dans les informations représentant la mort de Gaddafi et l’attaque chimique dans le Ghouta. La majorité des interviews d’information ont donné voix aux acteurs importants des événements, par opposition aux experts sur le sujet. L’analyse critique du discours a permis de formuler des théories sur l’utilisation des différents contenus dans les informations internationales, à savoir : les interviews, le contenu amateur, les chiffres et les pourcentages, les citations et le contenu de télévision publiqueThis thesis uses a grounded theory approach, by building a corpus of 252 news videos, broadcast by Al Jazeera English, Press TV English, Euronews English and France 24 English, on events of the Arab Spring, to answer three questions: [RQ1] how did the dominant institutions of information affect international news flow during the events of the Arab Spring? [RQ2] how were the events of the Arab Spring represented in form of news stories? And [RQ3] how was contributed material used to construct international news stories?The news videos from the corpus are analysed using Critical Discourse Analysis, therefore the discourse analysis is complemented by literature, and empirical research in form of interviews, on the dominant information institutions of the Arab Spring, including the aforementioned news channels as well as the news agency AFP and the UGC agency Crowdspark. Additionally, the information and media landscape of Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen between 2011 and 2013 has also been studied using existing literature. It was found that all countries had strict laws against information access or publication, especially if the information was related to authorities, religion or security, leading to strict acts of censorship and threats, which further instilled self-censorship in local and international news actors.This research found that most events of the Arab Spring were represented using footage in the event location, with minimal international representatives and with frames of peaceful demonstrations during the uprisings of Egypt, Syria and Yemen, and frames of violent riots in the Bahraini and Tunisian uprisings. Frames featuring destruction or explosions were observed in countries that experienced some kind of conflict, namely, Libya and Syria. Images of death and suffering were minimal and only evident in news representing the death of Gaddafi and the Ghoutta chemical attack. Majority of news interviews gave a voice to relevant event actors, as opposed to topic experts. The critical discourse analysis produced theories on the usage of various content in international news, namely: interviews, amateur content, figures and percentages, quotes and state TV content

Why do revolutions happen? What role do structures, institutions, and actors play in precipitating (or preventing) them? Finally, What might compel social mobilization against a regime in the face of potentially insurmountable odds? These questions are all fundamentally about state-society (strategic) interactions, and elite and societal preference formation over time. The self-immolation of Muhammad Bouazizi in Sidi Bouzid on December 17, 2010, served as a focal point upon which over twenty years of corrupt, coercive authoritarian rule were focused into a single, unified challenge to the Ben Ali regime. The regime's brutality was publicized via social media activism and satellite television, precipitating mass mobilization across Tunisia and, eventually, throughout the region and beyond. In light of the rapid and unforeseen nature of these events, scholars writing about the causes of the Arab Spring have focused their critiques on scholarship that they felt overemphasized the role of institutions and elite-level actors over 'under the radar' changes within society. This paper essentially agrees with this point of view, but is not content to simply 'throw out' institutionalism. As Timur Kuran (1991) argued in the wake of the unforeseen collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, one cannot understand revolution without understanding the 'true' preferences of social actors. In this way, the inevitability of revolutionary surprises seems a given so long as analysts continue to look from the top-down. Yet, this paper contends that institutions do still matter. They matter because different institutional arrangements incentivize and constrain regime strategies, which, in turn, inform the strategic calculations and preference orderings within society. These two societal variables are determined - in part - by the degree of regime flexibility, and they affect whether, how, and where social actors choose to vent their dissent.
This paper proposes a model for the development of contentious social mobilization under authoritarianism. In order to do so, two models - one game-theoretic, and the other rooted in the contentious politics subfield of political sociology - are synthesized toward elucidating how altered societal preferences affect strategic interactions between the regime and society over time and during acute contentious episodes. The synthesized model is then illustrated through narrative case studies of two North African states that experienced divergent outcomes in the wake of the Arab Spring: Tunisia and Morocco. The limited spaces and institutions for the expression of dissent in Tunisia gradually changed societal preferences over time. In 2010, Tunisians' preferences shifted from various socioeconomic demands and other issue-specific grievances toward a galvanized demand for the fall of the regime. In Morocco, on the other hand, social actors, by and large, continued to prefer limited reforms to a complete upheaval of the political system. This paper contends that this divergence in preferences and therefore outcomes was in part determined by the variation in the two regimes' respective strategic mixes of concessions and/or coercion. To the extent that such strategies and institutions were more flexible - i.e. were more permissive of (limited) political contention and contestation - social movements were less likely to become emboldened against the regime.

[EN] PIXEL PATTERNS: Aesthetic and technical barriers in video games (1972 - 2000)
Video games are inherently technological and, therefore, are subject to an evolution of the technology. However, the creative process is not governed by technical limitations of any kind. That is why, throughout history have emerged a series of designers who have managed to develop a wide range of technical approaches in order to ensure aesthetic over technology.
This doctoral thesis objective is to study and analyze the different processes developed in video games in order to overcome any technical impediment.
It was necessary to study each of these processes in relation to their historical context, so we analyzed the chronological development of the video game industry.
We've structured the thesis following a theoretical methodology of analysis and synthesis, applying a historical documentation, and proposing a chronological study of the evolution through the three great systems of visual representation in the history of video games: illustration, sprites and polygons.
Each of these parts is organized in chapters structured to turn into three parts: historiographical analysis, analysis of the developed technique and analysis of the subsequent impact of the process.
One of the main contributions of this research has been the finding that the creative process is capable of overcoming even the technical impossibilities. As a result, this study has produced full documentation, not only of the architects and creators of these processes, but also of the main visual tricks that emerged in the history of video games.[ES] PIXEL PATTERNS: Estética y barreras técnicas en los videojuegos (1972 - 2000) Los videojuegos son un medio inherentemente tecnológico y, por lo tanto, se encuentran sujetos a una evolución de la técnica. Sin embargo, el proceso creativo no se rige por limitaciones técnicas de ningún tipo. Por ello, a lo largo de la historia han surgido una serie de diseñadores que han conseguido desarrollar toda una gama de planteamientos destinados a que la técnica reine sobre la estética. Esta Tesis Doctoral tiene como objetivo general estudiar y analizar los diferentes procesos que se han desarrollado en los videojuegos con el fin de superar cualquier tipo de impedimento técnico. Para lograr este objetivo ha sido necesario estudiar cada uno de estos procesos en relación con su contexto histórico, por lo que hemos realizado una revisión del desarrollo cronológico de la industria del videojuego. Hemos estructurado la tesis siguiendo una metodología teórica de análisis y síntesis, aplicando una documentación histórica y planteando un estudio cronológico de la evolución a través de los tres grandes sistemas de representación visual en la historia de los videojuegos: Ilustración, Sprites y Polígonos. Cada una de estas partes se organiza en capítulos estructurados a su vez en tres partes: análisis historiográfico, análisis de la técnica desarrollada y análisis de las repercusiones posteriores de la misma. Una de las aportaciones principales de esta investigación ha sido la constatación de que el proceso creativo es capaz de superar las imposibilidades técnicas. Como resultado de este estudio se ha elaborado una completa documentación, no solo de los artífices y creadores de estos procesos, sino también de los principales artificios visuales surgidos en el medio de los videojuegos.

Bakgrund och problem: Private equity-aktörers värdeskapande är ett fenomen som studerats internationellt sedan 80-talet och intensifierats under det senaste årtiondet. Med en mängd forskning angående prestationen under ägandeskapet är utbudet mindre huruvida prestationen är bestående och hur portföljbolagen presterar efter att de avyttrats. Trots detta råder det ingen konsensus kring tidigare studiers resultat. Mot bakgrund av den motstridighet som föreligger i tidigare forskning och den uppmärksammade debatten om riskkapitalisters värdeskapande söker denna studie att studera och undersöka ämnet närmre för den skandinaviska marknaden. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur skandinaviska portföljbolag presterar efter avyttring genom börsintroduktion. Studien ämnar därmed att utreda, kartlägga och skapa bättre förståelse huruvida det föreligger någon skillnad i tidigare PE-ägda portföljbolags prestation gentemot branschkonkurrenter utifrån utvalda nyckeltal. Metod: Studien applicerar en kvantitativ forskningsmetod, vilket är i linje med tidigare forskning och referensstudier som även använder ett parametriskt och ett icke-parametriskt statistiskt test för att utröna om över- eller underprestation föreligger för tidigare PE-ägda portföljbolag. Därefter har studiens resultat analyserats med bakgrund av tidigare forskning och vedertagna teorier inom ämnet. Slutsats: Studiens resultat konstaterar att tidigare PE-ägda portföljbolag som börsnoterats inte överpresterar sina branschkonkurrenter, utan presterar sämre eller endast i linje med dem. Till skillnad från tidigare forskning kan ingen av- eller tilltagande effekt urskiljas, vilket innebär att ägarbytet vid börsnoteringen inte medför några bestående komparativa konkurrensför- eller nackdelar.Background and problem: Private equity companies’ long-term performance is a phenomena that has been examined internationally since the 80’s, which has intensified over the last decade. With a lot of research focusing on performance during the ownership, the offer is less extensive whether the performance is long-term and how the divested portfolio companies perform after the private equity companies exit. Nevertheless, there is up today no consensus regarding the result of the previous studies. In the light of the contradiction of the previous research and the debate on risk capitalists’ value creation, this study seeks to investigate the phenomena closer on the Scandinavian market. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how Scandinavian portfolio companies perform after divestment through an IPO. The study thus aims to investigate, plot and create a better understanding of whether there is any difference in past PE-owned portfolio companies’ performance relative industry competitors bases on selected key ratios. Methodology: The study applies a quantitative research method, which in line with previous research and reference studies, uses a statistical parametric and a non-parametric test to determine whether over- or underperformance exists for previous PE-owned portfolio companies. The result of the study have been analyzed in the light of previous research and conventional theories within the field of subject. Conclusions: This study’s findings show that previous private equity owned portfolio companies do not over perform their industry peers, but perform in line or inferior to them. Unlike previous research, no decreasing or increasing effect can be distinguished which means that the change of ownership through the IPO does not bring any long-term comparative competitive advantages or disadvantages.

Stretching som uppvärmningsrutin inför idrottsaktiviteter anses ha både skadeförebyggande och prestationshöjande effekter. Studier antyder att statisk stretching kan ha negativ inverkan på prestationen, särskilt explosiva aktiviteter som hopp och sprintlöpning. Syftet med studien var att undersöka effekten av statisk stretching (SS) respektive dynamisk (DR) rörlighets-uppvärmningsprotokoll på prestationen vid sprintlöpning över 200 meter samt inverkan av muskellängd/rörelseomfång på eventuella effekter. Elva träningsvana löpare, 20-35 år, sju män och fyra kvinnor genomförde vid två tillfällen maximal 200-meterslöpning. Löpningarna föregicks vid ena tillfället av SS och det andra av DR i en randomiserad ordning. Tiden mättes med ett portabelt fotocellsystem. Deltagarna utgjorde sina egna kontroller och skillnaden i löptid mellan SS och DR analyserades parvis (Wilcoxon signed rank test). Korrelation mellan löptid och deltagarnas ROM i nedre extremiteten, mätt med goniometer analyserades (Kendall’s Tau B). Tendens till snabbare löptider visades efter DR (1,01%, p=0,077) jämfört med SS. Skillnader, dock ej signifikanta var störst första 100 meter (2,78%) och omvänt avslutande 100 meter(-0,40%). Ett samband antyddes mellan hur snabba löparna var och effekten av SS-DR (Tau B=0,382), där resultaten för männen, som generellt var snabbare visade signifikant samband (Tau B=0,905, p=0,003). Inga samband återfanns mellan ROM/muskellängd och prestation. Signifikant samband sågs dock mellan duration vid stretching och löptid (Tau B=0,48-0,56, p=0,021-0,042). Studien fann i linje med tidigare forskning tendenser till snabbare löptider vid DR jämfört med SS. Eventuella effekter av stretching kan vara små men av betydelse för snabba löpare på distanser upp till 200 meter. Fortsatt forskning på området bör inkludera homogena grupper där slumpmässiga effekter på prestationen minimeras. Utifrån resultaten föreslås att DR inkluderas i uppvärmningen framför SS.

Cette thèse de doctorat porte sur le sens et rôle de la notion de néo-endiguement dans le contexte de l‘après-Guerre-froide. Elle postule que la politique d‘endiguement a évolué depuis pour s‘adapter aux nouveaux défis que pose le nouvel ère, tout en restant fidèle aux principes de la politique étrangère américaine développés pendant la Guerre froide durant la guerre contre le terrorisme et la période du printemps arabe qui a surgit dans la région du Moyen-Orient et de l‘Afrique du Nord. Ce travail de recherche revoit la littérature portant sur les grandes stratégies américaines, de la Guerre froide au printemps arabe. Il s‘appuie sur des données issues de documents officiels, de discours politiques, des écrits académiques, et de diverses ressources médiatiques pour comprendre comment les Etats-Unis ont pu adapter et adopter la politique d‘endiguement pour contrer la montée du terrorisme et la venue du printemps arabe. Cette thèse présente une analyse détaillée des principaux mécanismes d‘endiguement de la Guerre-froide, tels que nous les avons conçus. Aussi, elle démontre l‘emploi de ces mêmes mécanismes durant la période de l‘après-Guerre-froide pour contrer les nouveaux adversaires, notamment dans la région duMoyen-Orient et de l‘Afrique du Nord. Les États-Unis se sont d'abord appuyés sur l'endiguement économique qui consiste à utiliser l‘arme économique, soit pour affaiblir leurs rivaux, en leur imposant des sanctions économiques, soit pour soutenir leurs alliés,en leur versant des aides économiques annuels. Ensuite, il y a l'engagement des administrations américaines à défendre l‘idéologie américaine de la « démocratie dans le monde », qui constitue la pierre angulaire de la politique de la Guerre froide au néo-endiguement du 21ème siècle. Les présidents américains successifs ont joué la carte de la démocratie pour soutenir les alliés et contrer les adversaires. Ils pointent du doigt, d‘une manière sélective, certains régimes autoritaires, tout en fermant les yeux sur d‘autres. Enfin, l'endiguement militaire reflète le recours des administrations américaines à apporter une aide militaire et technique considérable au profit de leurs alliés, malgré l'effondrement de la ‗menace soviétique‘, tout en continuant à préconiser des guerres régionales par procuration dans les zones géostratégiques afin de maintenir la sphère d'influence américaine.Cette thèse examine également les politiques étrangères du point de vue de la quête de primauté qui constitue une constante de la politique étrangère américaine. Elle met ainsi en évidence la continuité des doctrines de la politique étrangère américaine qui ne s‘est pas fondamentalement modifiée, en dépit de la disparition de la menace communiste depuis la chute du mur de Berlin. Notre étude de cas confirme notre hypothèse sur le choix du néo-endiguement comme politique étrangère américaine vis-à-vis du printemps arabe, visant à isoler les gouvernements islamiques fraîchement élus au Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord entre 2011 et 2014. L‘administration Obama a oeuvré activement pour endiguer l'Islam politique et les partis islamiques dans les pays du printemps arabe comme réponse au dilemme qu‘ils ontposé aux Etats-Unis : bien qu‘élus démocratiquement, ils ont représenté une menace pour le système d'alliances des États-UnisThis doctoral dissertation develops the notion of neo-containment in the post-Cold War era. Its premise is that Cold War containment evolved to adapt to new challenges in a new era and continued to be the cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy and notably during the War on Terror and the Arab Spring period in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This research revisits the sizeable body of literature about the U.S. grand strategies from the early Cold War to the Arab Spring. It relies on data from official policy documents, policy makers‘ speeches, academic writings and various media resources to understand why, how and with what results the United States extended and developed the containment policy as its approach to the War on Terror and the Arab Spring. The dissertation provides a balanced account of the extent to which what we have qualified as the major Cold War mechanisms of containment continued to be implemented in comparable proportions in the post-Cold War era, but to contain new adversaries, mainly in the MENA. The United States relied firstly on economic containment which consists in using its economic power either to weaken challenging rivals by imposing economic sanctions upon them or empower allies through annual economic packages. The second mechanism of containment is the commitment to defend the U.S. ideology of ―democracy‖ which continued to be a cornerstone of neo-containment policy in the 21st century. The successive U.S presidents played the democracy cardto contain allies and adversaries. They selectively accused some authoritarian governments of abusing democracy while turning a blind eye on others. Finally, military containment reflects the American administrations‘ reliance on annual military aid and training services at consistently high levels, despite the collapse of the ‗Soviet Threat,‘ to its allies, while at the same time continuing to advocate regional proxy wars in geostrategic areas to maintain its sphere of influence.The dissertation also examines policies through the quest of primacy as U.S. ‗habit‘. It asserts, therefore, that the United States‘ political doctrines remained fundamentally unaltered despite the demise of the Soviet Union. The case study applies the dissertation hypothesis of neo-containment in U.S. foreign policy vis-à-vis the Arab Spring, to the U.S. quest for countering rivals such as Iran, by containing the newly elected Islamic governments in the Middle East and North Africa from 2011 to 2014. The Obama administration contained political Islam and Islamic parties in the Arab Spring countries as the policy response to the dilemma they posed; even though they were democratically elected, the governments represented a threat to the United States alliance system

Magistro darbe tiriama į Lietuvos Raudonąją knygą įrašyto pavasarinio vikio būklė, bei invazinių krūmų plitimo ypatumai.
Darbo objektas – Palangos botanikos parke augantis pavasarinis vikis (Vicia lathyroides L.) ir aštuoni invaziniai krūmai: guobalapė lanksva (Spiraea chamaedryfolia L.), šermukšnialapė lanksvūnė (Sorbaria sorbifolia (L.) A. Braun), paprastasis ligustras (Ligustrum vulgare L.), baltoji sedula (Cornus alba L.), blizgantysis kaulenis (Cotoneaster lucidus Schltdl.), darželinis jazminas (Philadelphus coronarius L.), baltauogė meškytė (Symphoricarpos albus (L.) S. F. Blake), šluotinis sausakrūmis (Sarothamnus scoparius (L.) W. D. J. Koch).
Darbo tikslas – nustatyti pavasarinio vikio būklę ir invazinių krūmų plitimo ypatumus.
Darbo metodai. Pavasarinio vikio būklės nustatymui buvo vertinta žydinčių ir derančių vikių kiekis, vegetacijos trukmė, bendrijos įvairovė. Aprašant kiekvienos radavietės medyno sudėtį ir žolinę augaliją, buvo naudojama Braun – Blanquet skalė. Invazinių krūmų plitimo intensyvumo nustatymui buvo vertinta šakninių atžalų plitimo atstumas nuo motininio krūmo, nugenėtų ūglių rudeninis ir pavasarinis žėlimas. Statistinė analizė atlikta naudojant Microsoft Exel skaičiuoklę.
Darbo rezultatai. Nustatytos trys pavasarinio vikio augavietės Palangos botanikos parke. Lyginant su senesniaisiais tyrimo duomenimis, pavasarinis vikis aptiktas 3 naujose vietose. Gausiausias pavasarinių vikių padengimas, žiedų ir anksčių skaičius rastas tokiose sąlygose, kur...

L'assassinat de Rafic Hariri, le 14 février 2005, est un événement fondateur. Un mois plus tard, le 14 mars 2005, la manifestation pro‐Hariri sur la place des Martyrs, rebaptisée place de la Liberté, transforme en effet cette place publique en un espace public. Cette même place sera utilisée ensuite aussi bien par les pro‐Hariri (la formation du 14 mars) que par les anti‐Hariri (la formation du 8 mars). La question qui nous intéresse est de savoir comment cette suite d'événements a été reprise et médiatisée par les différents médias, au point de faire de la place des Martyrs le lieu d'un rendez‐vous annuel des partis en présence. Notre objectif est donc de montrer dans quelles conditions cette place a été transformée, le 14 mars 2005, en un espace public et d'étudier quels moyens ont été mis en œuvre pour cela. Notre perspective ne se limite pas aux médias libanais mais s'étend jusqu'à la presse internationale, dont nous faisons l'hypothèse qu'elle a joué un rôle important dans la construction de cet événement. Le paradoxe et la nouveauté de cet événement tiennent à ce que la notion d'espace public est relativement étrangère au paysage libanais. Au contraire, la confessionnalité est reconnue au Liban et même mentionnée dans la Constitution du pays, en contradiction avec la conception d'un espace public (notamment bourgeois) reposant sur le principe de la laïcité. Pour traiter de cette question, nous montrons que l'occupation de la place des Martyrs révèle le lien étroit qui associe religion et laïcité, contrairement aux représentations stéréotypées qui tendent à opposer ces deux pôles. Une approche communicationnelle nous permet de mettre en évidence la relation entre ces deux pôlesThe assassination of Rafic Hariri, February 14th 2005, is the founding event. A month later, March 14, the demonstration pro‐Hariri in Martyrs' Square, renamed Freedom Square, transform the public square into a public sphere. The question we are interested by is how different media broadcasted this sequence of events ; as to make Martyrs’ square a yearly meeting of all parties. Our target is to show under what conditions this place has been transformed, March 14th 2005, into a public space and to explore different ways that allowed reaching the target. Our perspective is not limited to Lebanese media, but extends to international media, which we suggest that they had an important role in the construction of this event. The paradox and novelty of this event is that the concept of public sphere is relatively foreign to the Lebanese scene. The contrast is that, the confessionality is recognized in Lebanon and even mentioned in the constitution, on opposition of the conception of public sphere based on the principle of secularism. To answer this question, we’ll try to show that the occupation of Martyrs’ square reveals the close link between religion and secularism, unlike the stereotypical representations that tend to oppose these two poles. A communicational approach highlight the relationship between these two poles

" Le sujet de cette thèse traitera du Liban entre les deux retraits israélien et syrien, 2000 - 2005.En effet, cette récente période s'inscrit comme l'une des plus critiques dans l'histoire contemporaine du Liban. La guerre civile déclenchée en avril 1975 est officiellement terminée en octobre 1990 par une " paix syrienne " imposée aux belligérants Libanais, soutenue par la Ligue Arabe et la communauté internationale. Cette période de paix entre 1990 et 2005, fut d'une part une période de reconstruction et de développement du Liban. Mais d'autre part, ces quinze années témoignent d'un profond malaise et mécontentement inscrits dans une situation globale apparemment paisible mais en fait marquée de fragilités politiques, sociales et communautaires profondes.Deux évènements majeurs - les retraits : israélien en 2000 et syrien en 2005 - viennent bouleverser ce statut quo libanais et déclenchent le processus inévitable d'une nouvelle " démocratisation " du Liban dont les conséquences ne cessent de se ressentir et de rebondir à ce jour. Entre ces deux retraits, un troisième " évènement choc ", le 11 septembre 2001 semble au regard de certains Libanais la perspective d'une nouvelle politique américaine et européenne dans la région.Cette période sera marquée au Liban, par les événements d'août 2000, arrestations arbitraires à l'encontre des opposants au régime prosyrien, la fermeture forcée de la chaîne de télévision libanaise anti syrienne MTV, les discours virulents des prélats maronites de l'église du Liban et du patriarche du Liban contre le régime en place, la nouvelle politique du leader druze Walid Joumblatt, l'éloignement du Premier Ministre libanais Rafic Hariri de la politique syrienne, et le début de la création d'une opposition multiconfessionnelle contre la reconduction du président libanais prosyrien Emile Lahoud, le vote de la résolution 1559 au conseil de sécurité de l'ONU, et finalement le " 11 septembre libanais " ou l'assassinat de Rafic Hariri, en février 2005 et la " révolution du Cèdre " qui en suit.

La Tunisie, vieille de 3000 ans et aux trésors reconnus mondialement a misé sur le tourisme depuis les premières années de son indépendance en 1956. Le nombre des établissements touristiques est passé de 85 en 1965 à 856 en 2011 et le nombre des arrivées a dépassé sept millions de touristes pour une population de 10.5 millions d’individus : un record. Les nuitées ont atteint 35.5 millions enregistrant 3.522 millions de dinars de recette. Malgré ces "performances", le produit tunisien est resté principalement balnéaire attirant majoritairement les mêmes marchés source, en l’occurrence le marché européen : les Français et les Allemands. Avec la rude concurrence dans le bassin méditerranéen, le produit tunisien a montré une certaine stagnation, voire régression. L’objet de notre recherche se concentre sur un point essentiel de la réussite ou de l’échec de tout produit touristique : la stratégie de communication promotionnelle. Quelle sont ses bases en Tunisie? Comment est-elle établie ? Comment est-elle mise en œuvre ? Où résident ses défaillances ? Et quelles sont ses remèdes ? Seulement, au moment où les autorités misent sur une évolution qui espère atteindre dix millions de touristes en 2016, une Révolution surprend le pays et le monde. Elle secoue évidemment les structures et les habitudes et fait déferler des vagues de violence dont le secteur du tourisme ne peut en être que la première victime. Les élections de l’Assemblée constituante font encore élire une majorité islamiste qui n’approuve pas forcément la même politique d’ouverture historiquement entreprise dans le pays. C’est le prix de la démocratie espéré par le peuple qui est venu chambouler le secteur du tourisme et également notre travail qui, pourtant, était sur le point de s’achever. Cela a, au contraire, rendu notre recherche intéressante et excitante. C’est le travail que nous présentons dans cette thèseTunisia, 3000 years old, with its world famous archeological treasures, has been counting on tourism since the early years of its independence in 1956. The "touristic establishments" number from 85 in 1965 to 856 in 2011, and the number of visitors exceeded 7 millions for a population of 10.5 millions. A record. The number of overnights went up to 35.5 millions dinars in takings. In spite of these performances, the Tunisian product has remained mainly in the beach and spa sector and attracted in majority the European market: the French and the Germans. When facing the severe competition of the Mediterranean Basin, the Tunisian product has shown a certain stagnation, if not a decrease. The aim of our research is to concentrate on one essential point concerning the success, or the failure, of any touristic product: that is the strategy of promotional communication. Which are its basises in Tunisia ? How are they operated ? The failures ? The remedies ? At the time when the authorities count on a positive evolution, with the hope of reaching the number of 10 millions tourists in 2016, a Revolution comes to a surprise to the country and to the world. Structures and habits were obviously shaken and waves of violence swept to the industry of tourism which was the first one to suffer from it. The elections of the Constituent Assembly will bring to power an islamist majority who does not readily agree with the policy of openess which had been historically undertaken in the country. This is the price to be paid for the democracy hoped for by the people, which did upset the sector of tourism, and also our work which was about to be completed. It has, actually, made our research the more interesting and exciting. This is the research that we submit in this thesis

Notre recherche a été établie dans le cadre du programme de recherché interdisciplinaire Langages, Objets, Territoires et Hospitalités (LOTH). Elle s’est appliquée à confirmer que seuls, les réseaux sociaux ne peuvent constituer un support unique pour gérer la démocratie locale et satisfaire les revendications collectives. Le chercheur a proposé une démarche plutôt mixte (CiRM) intégrant toutes les composantes essentielles pour moderniser et mettre à niveau de manière fondamentale le fonctionnement « client » de l’État (Physiques, humaines, virtuelles et technologiques). Cette démarche a été argumentée par une série d’enquête terrain qui démontrera le déficit dont souffre l’État marocain malgré les investissements technologiques élevés (réalisés mais désordonnés) en TIC. Ce sont à ces questions quecette thèse apporte des éléments de réponse et des outils d’analyse en vue de présenter une nouvelle manière pour instaurer la Gouvernance : tout gouvernement élu, sera essentiellement évalué sur le taux de satisfaction des attentes des citoyens et par rapport à son plan d’action annoncé via une logique de pondération et à travers des « indicateurs » de performance (gouvernementale) connus par tous et identifiés à l’avance (Pour éviter de tomber dans le piège de la distorsion de l’information entre le Citoyen et l’État)Our research was established as part of the Interdisciplinary Research Program on Languages, Objects, Territories and Hospitality (LOTH). It has tried to confirm that only social networks can not constitute a single support for managing local democracy and satisfying collective demands. The researcher proposed a rather mixed approach (CiRM) integrating all the essential components to modernize and fundamentally improve the client's functioning of the state (physical, human, virtual and technological). This approach was supported by a series of field surveys that will demonstrate the deficit suffered by the Moroccan state despite high (but untidy) technological investments in ICT. It is to these questions that this thesis provides answers and analytical tools in order to present a new way to establish governance: any elected government will be essentially evaluated on the rate of satisfaction of the expectations of citizens and To its action plan announced via a weighting logic and through publicly known "indicators" of performance (known by all) and identified in advance (To avoid falling into the trap of distortion of information between the Citizen and the State)

La thèse propose d’étudier l’émergence et la circulation du syntagme printemps arabe(s) comme dénomination événementielle dans la presse écrite. Elle a pour objectif principal d’examiner le processus de dénomination et de qualification des événements historiques dans et par les médias représentés ici par la presse écrite, en retraçant le parcours d’un syntagme-clé de l’Histoire immédiate. L’étude s’inscrit dans le domaine de l’analyse linguistique des discours médiatiques. Elle fait appel à plusieurs champs théoriques croisant sciences du langage et sciences de l’information et de la communication. La démarche relève de l’analyse du discours comme domaine de recherche - sur la langue, le discours et le sens - ancré dans les sciences du langage, où le traitement automatique se présente comme un outil d’investigation. Le corpus d’étude est formé d’un ensemble de textes de la presse écrite internationale d’expression française, arabe et dans une moindre mesure anglaise. Au-delà de cette étude de cas, l’étude sert d’exemple d’analyse lexico-discursive de la nomination des événements dans la presse écrite, comme de l’émergence et de la circulation d’un syntagme dénominatif lié à un moment historique et dont l’impact dépasse les frontières du monde arabeThe thesis proposes to study the emergence and the circulation of Arab Spring phrase as event denomination in the press. Its main objective is to examine the process of naming and qualifying historical events in the media represented here by the written press. Going back over the course of a key phrase in the immediate history is the central object of the study.The research is a case of media discourse analysis. It uses several theoretical fields crossing language sciences and communication sciences. The approach is based on the analysis of discourse as a field of research - on language, discourse and meaning - rooted in the language sciences, where automatic processing presents a tool for study. The corpus of study is composed of the texts of the international written press.Beyond this specific case, the study serves as an example of lexical and discursive analysis of naming events in the written press, as well as the emergence and circulation of a denominational phrase associated with a historical moment

This research addresses the relationship between urbanization and the environment through the study of laws applicable to the Protected Areas and Springs Recovery of the Paulista metropolis, especially with regard to instruments that seek to ensure the effectiveness of social and environmental recovery, as well as the regularization of informal settlements existing there. It discusses, in this sense, the specificity of the urban instrument consisted by Special Zones of Social Interest (ZEIS), the importance of law enforcement as to land use and settlement in conjunction with environmental legislation for Springs protection, the specificity of irregularity and illegality in the occupation of Springs due to the legislation related, as well as the current legislation progress towards the control of urban expansion in these areas. The research also stresses out the main points of the theoretical debate on the production and management of urban space in such environmentally sensitive areas, highlighting the environmental and social interest housing, especially as it relates to Housing Policy, in order to arrange matters for concrete analysis. In São Paulo city, the Special Zones of Social Interest were implemented by the 2002 Strategic Plan focused on the production of Social Interest Housing and Land Regularization, recognizing the diversity of the urban territory. In the specific case of Springs, the ZEIS implementation joins the policies and management of other governmental authorities, especially at the state level. However, the changes in these areas of the city are understood as the fruits of broader social and historical processes, before which the legislation time becomes slow. From a planning and management viewpoint of that territory, it is sought to discuss the limits, prospects and challenges of informal settlements regularization in the Springs areas of São Paulo, aiming to contribute to the recent housing policy reflection
Esta pesquisa trata da relação entre urbanização e meio ambiente por meio do estudo das legislações aplicáveis às Áreas de Proteção e Recuperação dos Mananciais da Metrópole Paulista, especialmente no que se refere aos instrumentos que buscam garantir a efetividade da recuperação socioambiental e da regularização dos assentamentos precários lá existentes. Aborda, nesse sentido, a especificidade da aplicação do instrumento urbanístico constituído pelas Zonas Especiais de Interesse Social (ZEIS), a consonância da aplicação da legislação de uso e ocupação do solo em conjunto com a legislação ambiental de proteção aos mananciais, a especificidade da irregularidade e clandestinidade na ocupação dos mananciais em função da legislação aplicável, bem como os avanços da legislação atual no controle da expansão urbana nessas áreas. Procura ainda, destacar os principais pontos do debate teórico sobre a produção e gestão do espaço urbano nessas áreas ambientalmente frágeis, salientando as questões ambientais e da moradia de interesse social, especialmente no que se relaciona à Política Habitacional, de forma a organizar questões para a análise concreta. No Município de São Paulo, as Zonas Especiais de Interesse Social, foram implementadas pelo Plano Diretor Estratégico de 2002 voltadas à produção de habitação de interesse social e regularização fundiária, reconhecendo as diversidades do território urbano. No caso específico dos mananciais, a implementação das ZEIS alia-se às políticas e gestão de outras esferas governamentais, principalmente de âmbito estadual. Entretanto, as alterações verificadas nesses espaços da cidade são compreendidas como frutos de processos sociais e históricos mais amplos, perante os quais o tempo da legislação torna-se lento. Sob o ponto de vista do planejamento e gestão desse território, procura-se discutir os limites, as perspectivas e os desafios da regularização de assentamentos precários nas áreas de mananciais do município de São Paulo, com vistas a contribuir para a reflexão da política habitacional recente

Cette thèse contribue à une sociologie historique du surgissement révolutionnaire en Égypte, à travers une approche localisée et à l'échelle individuelle. Le surgissement révolutionnaire renvoie à une séquence d'interactions dont l'issue, contingente, peut donner lieu à un basculement général de l'ordre politique. Afin de rendre compte des mécanismes concrets dont sont faits ces séquences, cette recherche se fonde sur l'étude des engagements de révolutionnaires et de novices dans la deuxième ville d'Égypte, Alexandrie, lors de la « révolution du 25 janvier 2011 ». Ces engagements sont analysés à l'aune des transformations politiques, économiques et culturelles que l'Égypte a connues depuis les années 1980 et, plus précisément, le renouveau protestataire qui marque la décennie 2000. Faisant usage d'une multitude de sources et de données (entretiens, observations, traces numériques, revues de presse, corpus de photographies et de vidéos), cette thèse permet de renouveler notre compréhension des phénomènes révolutionnaires et de la manière dont ils émergent. Plus précisément, on y voit comment, à rebours des analyses globalisantes et réifiantes des processus révolutionnaires, on ne peut comprendre la dynamique d'émergence d'une crise sans en revenir aux paramètres situationnels et, surtout, aux dynamiques locales de chaque cas. Par ailleurs, en focalisant l'attention sur la ville d'Alexandrie, cette thèse contribue à ouvrir un chantier de recherche sur cette grande métropole méditerranéenne qui reste sous-étudiéeThis thesis contributes to a historical sociology of revolutionary emergence in Egypt, through a localized and micrological approach. The revolutionary emergence refers to a sequence of interactions, always contingent, which can give rise to a sudden breakdown of a political regime. ln order to give an account of the concrete mechanisms constituting these sequences. This research is based on the study of the careers of revolutionaries and novices in Egypt's second city, Alexandria, during the "revolution of 25 January 2011". These political commitments are analyzed in the light of the political, economic and cultural transformations that Egypt has undergone since the 1980s and, more specifically, the renewal of protest activities that marked the decade 2000. Using a multitude of sources and data (interviews, observations, digital traces, press reviews, photographs and videos), this thesis allows us to renew our understanding of revolutionary phenomena and how they emerge. More precisely, we see how, against the background of globalizing and reifying analyses of revolutionary processes, we cannot understand the dynamics of the emergence of a crisis without returning to the situational parameters and, above all, to the local dynamics of each case. Moreover, by focusing attention on the city of Alexandria, this thesis contributes to opening a research avenue on this important Mediterranean metropolis which remains under-studied

Teil 1: Da in vielen Regionen Deutschlands steigende Grundwasserspiegel zu verzeichnen sind und bestehende Gebäude, die nicht für den Belastungsfall „drückendes Wasser“ ausgelegt sind, mit einem tragfähigen nachträglichen Abdichtungssystem ertüchtigt werden müssen, wurde ein entsprechendes Abdichtungssystem aus Textilbeton entwickelt. Durch die Verwendung des Textilbetons ist es möglich, ein Abdichtungssystem mit einer geringen Bauteilstärke von 30 mm im Spritzverfahren herzustellen. Teil 2: Die bauteilintegrierte Schalung (BIS) aus Textilbeton nimmt während der Betonage den Frischbetondruck auf. Im Endzustand bildet sie die Bauteiloberfläche und kann Anforderungen hinsichtlich Tragfähigkeit, Sichtbeton- und Oberflächenqualität sowie Oberflächenausbildung (Farbe, Struktur) erfüllen. BISElemente können werksmäßig wirtschaftlich und qualitativ hochwertig hergestellt werden.

Cette thèse examine les transformations de la scène théâtrale égyptienne au cours de la période révolutionnaire du « Printemps Arabe ». Elle propose une étude du théâtre en prenant en compte différents aspects de la création : la position des artistes dans le champ institutionnel, le contenu thématique des créations, les formes et dispositifs employés, ainsi qu’une étude des discours produits sur le théâtre. Ce travail propose un panorama général de la production théâtrale de la période, intégrant des créations émanant des différents secteurs – public, privé, indépendant et amateur – et s’attache à analyser en particulier les créations de la scène indépendante qui s’est largement développée au cours de la période. Au cours de la période pré-révolutionnaire, le théâtre apparaît comme soumis à la politique et étroitement lié au fonctionnement de l’État dans un régime autoritaire. Pourtant, des nouvelles formes théâtrales et performatives émergent à la fin des années 2000 et témoignent d’une nouvelle capacité politique du théâtre. Ce mouvement se poursuit et s’affirme pendant la période révolutionnaire s’étendant de 2011 à 2013. Les artistes, le plus souvent fédérés en collectifs, mettent en place de nouveaux dispositifs participatifs intégrant les spectateurs à la performance. Le théâtre est postulé comme un outil du changement politique à l’œuvre, et l’esthétique se politise, notamment par l’emprunt de formes traditionnelles du théâtre politique. Enfin, au lendemain de la Révolution et dans le cadre de l'arrivée au pouvoir d'un nouveau régime, les artistes doivent réinventer leur pratique. Abandonnant des formes ouvertement politiques, ils développent de nouvelles stratégies de résistance et de résilience. Ainsi, par l’examen des liens entretenus par la création avec l’événement politique révolutionnaire, cette thèse tend à mettre en lumière le phénomène d’une politisation de l’esthétique ayant conduit à une évolution des dramaturgies, des formes et des dispositifs : la scène égyptienne a connu sa propre révolutionThis thesis investigates the transformations of the Egyptian theatrical stage during the revolutionary period of the « Arab Springs ». This study considers different aspects of the creation: the artists’ position regarding the institutional field, the thematical content of the productions, the forms and the stagings used, and pay also attention to the discourses produced about theatre. This work proposes a general overview of the theatrical production during this period while examining the creations from different sectors – public, private, independent and amateur – and studies specifically the creations on the independent stages which developed during this period. In the pre-revolutionary period, the theatre appears as subjected to politics: its practice is closely linked to the State’s organization in the context of an authoritarian regime. However, new theatrical and performative forms appear at the end of the 2000s and seem to confer a new capacity to the theatre. This movement goes on and affirms itself during the revolutionary period between 2011 and 2013. The artists – most often gathered in collectives of practitioners – invent new forms which enable most of the time audience participation. Theatre is then considered as a tool for political change. Aesthetics become political and, more and more, the artists resort to the traditional forms of the political theatre. Finally, after the Revolution and the arrival of the new regime, the artists must reinvent their practice and their art. Giving up the forms which appear as obviously political, they develop new strategies of resistance and resilience. As such, through the examination of the links between the artistic creation and the political revolutionary event, this thesis tries to highlight the phenomenon of a politicization of the aesthetics which has led to an evolution of the dramaturgies, the forms and the stagings: the Egyptian stage has encountered its own revolution

Ce travail de recherche a pour objectif d’analyser les différentes initiatives de partenariat liant les pays méditerranéens avec l’UE, ainsi que l’élucidation des différents degrés d’engagement et d'implication de ces pays et sous-groupements régionaux dans ces initiatives. Il vise également à dévoiler les différents atouts et faiblesses qui caractérisent les relations Euro-méditerranéennes. La finalité de ce travail de recherche consiste à éclaircir les enjeux de ces relations et la justification de l’utilité de rapprochement entre les pays Sud-méditerranéens avec l’UE dans un espace géographique restreint et dans un cadre historique limité. Ainsi, cette analyse s’est focalisée sur les différents atouts politiques, économiques et sociaux ayant marqué les relations euro-méditerranéennes, durant la période allant de la Chute du Mur de Berlin (1989) jusqu'à l'échec du Printemps Arabe (2013). A l’issue de cette thèse, plusieurs alternatives et pistes de réflexion ont été suggérées, dans la perspective d’éviter les raisons d’échecs déjà constatées et afin de contribuer à l’édification de fondements solides susceptibles de concourir à la réussite des futurs partenariats et initiatives de coopérations euro-méditerranéennesThis thesis is attempting to analyze the various partnership initiatives between the Mediterranean countries and the EU, as well as the different degrees of commitment and involvement of these countries and sub-regional groupings in these initiatives.It also aims at revealing the different strengths and weaknesses that characterize the Euro-Mediterranean relations.The purpose of this research work is to analyze the issues of the Euromed relationships and the size of building links between the Mediterranean countries and the EU in geographically restricted space and during a limited historical period. This analysis has focused on the different political assets, economic and social issues which characterized the Euro-Mediterranean relationships, especially in the period from the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989) until the failure of the Arab Spring (2013). Following this work, several alternatives and ideas have been suggested, with a view to avoiding the failure of stakes already recognized.The objective is to contribute to analysis of creating new strong frameworks which may contribute to the success of the future partnerships and initiatives in relation to the euro- Mediterranean cooperation

Diese Arbeit bietet eine solide theoretische Grundlage zu Philanthropie und religiös motivierten Spendenaktivitäten und deren Einfluss auf Wohltätigkeitstrends, Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und einer auf dem Gedanken der sozialen Gerechtigkeit beruhenden Philanthropie. Untersucht werden dafür die Strukturen religiös motivierte Spenden, für die in der islamischen Tradition die Begriffe „zakat“, „Waqf“ oder im Plural auch „awqaf-“ oder „Sadaqa“ verwendet werden, der christliche Begriff dafür lautet „tithes“ oder „ushour“. Aufbauend auf diesem theoretischen Rahmenwerk analysiert die qualitative und quantitative Feldstudie auf nationaler Ebene, wie die ägyptische Öffentlichkeit Philanthropie, soziale Gerechtigkeit, Menschenrechte, Spenden, Freiwilligenarbeit und andere Konzepte des zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagements wahrnimmt. Um eine umfassende und repräsentative Datengrundlage zu erhalten, wurden 2000 Haushalte, 200 zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen erfasst, sowie Spender, Empfänger, religiöse Wohltäter und andere Akteure interviewt. Die so gewonnen Erkenntnisse lassen aussagekräftige Aufschlüsse über philanthropische Trends zu. Erstmals wird so auch eine finanzielle Einschätzung und Bewertung der Aktivitäten im lokalen Wohltätigkeitsbereich möglich, die sich auf mehr als eine Billion US-Dollar beziffern lassen. Die Erhebung weist nach, dass gemessen an den Pro-Kopf-Aufwendungen die privaten Spendenaktivitäten weitaus wichtiger sind als auswärtige wirtschaftliche Hilfe für Ägypten. Das wiederum lässt Rückschlüsse zu, welche Bedeutung lokale Wohltätigkeit erlangen kann, wenn sie richtig gesteuert wird und nicht wie bislang oft im Teufelskreis von ad-hoc-Spenden oder Hilfen von Privatperson an Privatperson gefangen ist. Die Studie stellt außerdem eine Verbindung her zwischen lokalen Wohltätigkeits-Mechanismen, die meist auf religiösen und kulturellen Werten beruhen, und modernen Strukturen, wie etwa Gemeinde-Stiftungen oder Gemeinde-„waqf“, innerhalb derer die Spenden eine nachhaltige Veränderung bewirken können. Daher bietet diese Arbeit also eine umfassende wissenschaftliche Grundlage, die nicht nur ein besseres Verständnis, sondern auch den nachhaltiger Aus- und Aufbau lokaler Wohltätigkeitsstrukturen in Ägypten ermöglicht. Zentral ist dabei vor allem die Rolle lokaler, individueller Spenden, die beispielsweise für Stiftungen auf der Gemeindeebene eingesetzt, wesentlich zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung beitragen könnten – und das nicht nur in Ägypten, sondern in der gesamten arabischen Region. Als konkretes Ergebnis dieser Arbeit, wurde ein innovatives Modell entwickelt, dass neben den wissenschaftlichen Daten das Konzept der „waqf“ berücksichtigt. Der Wissenschaftlerin und einem engagierten Vorstand ist es auf dieser Grundlage gelungen, die Waqfeyat al Maadi Community Foundation (WMCF) zu gründen, die nicht nur ein Modell für eine Bürgerstiftung ist, sondern auch das tradierte Konzept der „waqf“ als praktikable und verbürgte Wohlstätigkeitsstruktur sinnvoll weiterentwickelt.This work provides a solid theoretical base on philanthropy, religious giving (Islamic zakat, ‘ushour, Waqf -plural: awqaf-, Sadaqa and Christian tithes or ‘ushour), and their implications on giving trends, development work, social justice philanthropy. The field study (quantitative and qualitative) that supports the theoretical framework reflects at a national level the Egyptian public’s perceptions on philanthropy, social justice, human rights, giving and volunteering and other concepts that determine the peoples’ civic engagement. The statistics cover 2000 households, 200 Civil Society Organizations distributed all over Egypt and interviews donors, recipients, religious people and other stakeholders. The numbers reflect philanthropic trends and for the first time provide a monetary estimate of local philanthropy of over USD 1 Billion annually. The survey proves that the per capita share of philanthropy outweighs the per capita share of foreign economic assistance to Egypt, which implies the significance of local giving if properly channeled, and not as it is actually consumed in the vicious circle of ad-hoc, person to person charity. In addition, the study relates local giving mechanisms derived from religion and culture to modern actual structures, like community foundations or community waqf that could bring about sustainable change in the communities. In sum, the work provides a comprehensive scientific base to help understand- and build on local philanthropy in Egypt. It explores the role that local individual giving could play in achieving sustainable development and building a new wave of community foundations not only in Egypt but in the Arab region at large. As a tangible result of this thesis, an innovative model that revives the concept of waqf and builds on the study’s results was created by the researcher and a dedicated board of trustees who succeeded in establishing Waqfeyat al Maadi Community Foundation (WMCF) that not only introduces the community foundation model to Egypt, but revives and modernizes the waqf as a practical authentic philanthropic structure.

The Kurds are one of the largest ethnic minorities in the world whose rights of independence and having an independent state have been questionable and debatable at many international fronts such as the international politics in the Middle East region. In 2011, the “Arab Spring” has taken place in so many Arab countries in which people demonstrated in large number to call for their right to freedom in all its forms. In Syria, the uprising turned into blood bath and the whole country was divided under so many fighting groups on the ground. The Syrian Kurds were largely influenced by the unrest and conflict.
In this research, the Syrian Kurds right of self-determination is examined in regard to the Syrian uprising in 2011. The aim of the study is to fill the gap in research about the Syrian Kurds and in the same time, offers an approach to examine their right to be independent given their common culture, language and traditions through looking into the Kurds’ history and their struggle from the United Nation resolutions perspective.
The Kurds historically lived on the Middle East region and never had their own independent territory. As a result of the World War I, the Kurds were divided in four neighboring countries Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq. Since then, they were struggling to get their voice heard and been persecuted and denied their right to self- determine their own regions. Similarly, in Syria they were heavily targeted by the Ba’athist regime and declined. The Kurds’ right of self-determination has been in the fore since the Syrian uprising as they had to fight to protect their existence in the northern regions from one of the extremist groups with low or zero support from any international support.
After examining the right of self-determination, its implications and applicability, on the Syrian Kurds, it is evident that they do not qualify for independence from an international law view for several reasons (see chapter 5). However, in Al-Jazira and Afrin, the two highly dense Kurdish regions in Syria, the demography and policies are changing whether by the Syrian state or the Turkish in the Afrin region. Hence, the Kurds’ right to independence could be seen from different perspective in the future given the on-going conflict and power dynamic among the neighboring countries.

Trabalho de projeto de mestrado, Engenharia Informática (Engenharia de Software) Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências, 2020Atualmente, e guardada uma quantidade significativa de informação em aplicações disponibilizadas online, pelo que se tornou imperativo proteger os dados com um elevado grau de confiança, para que não possam ser furtados ou acedidos por entidades que não tenham autorizações para tal. Esta dimensão de segurança e a principal vertente do presente projeto, realizado no âmbito do mestrado em Engenharia Informática, que consiste no desenho e criação de vários serviços para um software de certificação ambiental, designado por FSIM. Dos desenvolvimentos realizados para o efeito, descritos ao longo deste trabalho, realçam-se dois: um sistema de controlo de acessos e um servidor de relatórios. O sistema de controlo de acessos, baseado em funções, permite intermediar a gestão de permissões dos utilizadores. Apesar de ser aplicado ao FSIM, este modelo pode ser empregue em inúmeras outras aplicações Java Spring. O servidor de relatórios Jasper possibilita à geração automática de relatórios, atendendo a regularidade e a necessidade de utilização de um serviço desta natureza por parte de empresas em auditorias. Este servidor impôs-se para substituir o Jasper Server, devido aos constrangimentos deste relativos ao controlo de versões do método de integração contínua adotado pela equipa. Neste trabalho, são igualmente expostas as diferentes abordagens de gestão de utilizadores dentro de uma aplicação, entre as quais se destaca a atribuição de perfis aos utilizadores com determinadas funções, associadas a realização de ações específicas. Para uma correta integração contínua, foram desenvolvidos testes unitários, que permitem garantir as funcionalidades implementadas no ciclo de vida do software. Com base nos devidos requisitos de segurança, a robustez e a fiabilidade foram dos principais aspetos a ter em conta, pelo que se realizaram e analisaram ainda vários testes de penetração.
Nowadays, a significant amount of information is stored in applications available online, thus it has become imperative to secure data with a high degree of reliability, so that it cannot be stolen or accessed by entities without proper authorization. This dimension of security is the main focus of this project, set forth within the scope of the master’s degree in Informatics Engineering, which consists of the design and deploy ment of several services for a software of environmental certification, called FSIM. In this document, we present the developments for this software in detail, from which we highlight two: an access control system and a report server. The access control system, developed over a role-based model of access control, allows intermediation of user per missions management. Despite being applied to FSIM, this model can be used in other Java Spring applications. The Jasper report server enables the automatic generation of reports, meeting the regularity and the need of companies to use a service of this nature in audits. The Jasper Server needed to be replaced by this server, due to its constraints related to version control of the continuous integration method adopted by the team. The different user management approaches within an application are also studied in this work, among which the attribution of profiles to users with certain roles in order to execute specific actions stands out. Furthermore, for a correct continuous integration, unit tests were developed, aimed to guarantee the functionalities implemented in the software’s life cycle. Based on the appropriate safety requirements, robustness and dependability were among the main aspects to be taken into account. Hence, several penetration tests were also performed and analysed.
