Abstract:

Under 2 månaders tid har jag befunnit mig på ett kontor i Alvesta, närmare

bestämt hos sken- och konsolsystemstillverkaren Hyllteknik. Där har jag som den

första designern någonsin på företaget jobbat nära dess ledning i arbetet med att ta

fram en ny skärmvägg.

I designarbetet har jag fokuserat på, och lyckats med, att effektivisera produktens

tillverkningsprocess och produktionskostnader. Designen har också en genomgripande

miljömedvetenhet. Bland annat har min efterforskning av miljövänliga

material resulterat i att skärmväggens stålram håller en ljudabsorbent som består av

100% polyesterfiber och har samma kretslopp som återvinningsbara PET-flaskor.

Detta material har absorptionsklass A, med andra ord fungerar skärmen som en

utmärkt ljuddämpare. Målet är att nå ut till kontor med en miljömedveten strävan,

mån om de anställdas arbetsmiljö vad det gäller kontorets ljudlandskap och skapandet

av rumsliga ytor för trivsel och arbete.

För att ihopkopplade skärmväggar ska sluta tätt och kunna bära hyllplan har jag ritat

en helt ny stålprofil som utgör skärmens gavlar. Profilen är lika vacker som den

är komplex och kommer att tas fram av Europas mest kvalificerade profiltillverkare,

Welser Profile i Österrike. I den nya profilen har jag integrerat två av Hylltekniks

C-profiler vilket medför att man på båda sidor av skärmväggen får tillgång till utbudet

av företagets steglösa hyllsystem.

Kunderna kan välja mellan att få skärmen på ben eller fot. Benen går att få på hjul

så att skärmväggen blir flyttbar och kan fungera som t.ex. presentationsyta eller

skapa tillfälliga rumsligheter. Fötterna är plana utmed golvet för att eliminera

benens eventuella snubbelrisk i mindre kontor. Både ben och fot monterar man

enkelt i profilen på var sin sida om skärmväggen. Tack vare den steglösa profilen

kan skärmen komma upp så långt som 200 mm från golvet. På så sätt kan skärmväggens

höjdläge variera mellan marknadens populäraste höjder, 1400-1600 mm.

Dessutom går absorptionsmaterialet att få i olika färger med ramen i olika lacker

och ytbehandlingar.

Jag tror att skärmväggens enhetliga designuttryck kommer att locka inredare och

arkitekter att utmana skärmväggens flexibilitet och alla möjligheter, samt förena

den med nya.

Dogan, T. "Communication strategies of the AK Party in Turkey." Thesis, City, University of London, 2018. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/20243/.

Full text
Abstract:
Despite the rise of Islamist parties and movements in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, there is a dearth of studies addressing their political communication strategies and approaches. In consideration of this fact, this doctoral thesis examines the political communication strategies of Turkey’s Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, henceforth the AKP), from 2002 to 2017. Drawing on social movement theory and approaches to political communication, it analyses the transformations that have taken place within the AKP and Turkey and how these have been informed by religion, and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s charismatic leadership. The thesis describes how the author carried out ethnographic research during the 2014 presidential election; interviewing key personalities from politics, the media, academia and think tanks, and conducting observations at AKP headquarters and campaign rallies. A quantitative content analysis of Erdoğan’s speeches was then performed to triangulate the findings from the qualitative data, ensuring effective coverage of the entire period under consideration, and to provide continuity. The research reveals how the effective communication of a party’s message is fundamental to its political success. Furthermore, in relation to the AKP it clearly identifies two distinct policy periods: 2002 to 2009, when the party promoted a liberal political ideology and pro-Western foreign policy; and 2010 to 2017, when a pro-Muslim agenda emerged. It also highlights the significance of Erdoğan’s dominance of the AKP, and the consequent lack of institutionalisation within the party, before discussing the implications of the study findings for the AKP, Turkey and the wider MENA region. Of particular interest is how the changes in the AKP’s policy appear to have been reinforced by Erdoğan, who has consistently made effective use of a variety of political communication strategies, including Americanisation, and references to pertinent local images and symbols, to create a sense of collective identity amongst the AKP’s supporters.

Abstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
Law enforcement, military personnel, and forensic analysts are increasingly reliant on imaging ystems to perform in a hostile environment and require a robust method to efficiently locate bjects of interest in videos and still images. Current approaches require a full-time operator to monitor a surveillance video or to sift a hard drive for suspicious content. In this thesis, we demonstrate the effectiveness of automated analysis tools to detect AK-47s in images. By training on a large corpus of labeled data, we created Viola-Jones classifiers for detection of whole AK-47s and parts of an AK-47. Parts-based detections were then compared against learned models using support vector machines and multi-layer perceptrons. The results of this research show that parts-based classifiers combined with the above techniques leverage the high recall capability of part detectors and significantly reduce false positives in comparison to both the part and whole object classifiers. Techniques utilized in this thesis facilitate the creation of an automated capability for detecting AK-47s in support of the law enforcement and intelligence communities.

Abstract:

Den kristallina linsens förmåga att ställa om fokus på olika avstånd kallas för ackommodation. Då ett närliggande objekt studeras förekommer det ett samarbete mellan ackommodation, konvergens och pupillreflex. Samtidigt som pupillerna ändrar storlek och ögonen ackommoderar, vrider ögonen sig mot varandra (de konvergerar). En förändring i ackommodation (D) leder till en förändring i konvergensen som mäts i prismadioptrier (). Sambandet mellan dessa benämningar kallas AK/A-värde och enheten för detta är prismadioptrier/dioptri (/D). Detta mätvärde är användbart vid analys av binokulära synavvikelser samt underlättar valet av styrkan på ordinationen då konvergensproblem förekommer. Kontaktlins- och glasögonanvändning ger upphov till olika ackommodation- och konvergensbehov hos myopa och hyperopa personer.

AK/A-värdet räknas ut på olika sätt, i denna studie beräknas gradient AK/A-värdet. Det utfördes forimätningar enligt von Graefe-metoden på linsvana försökspersoner med kontaktlins- och glasögonstyrkor.

Syftet med denna kliniska studie var att jämföra gradient AK/A-värde mellan glasögon- och kontaktlinsanvändning, för att se om skillnader påträffas.

Resultatet av undersökningen med 20 deltagare visade att 50 % hade en högre gradient AK/A-värde med refraktionsstyrkor för glasögon jämfört med kontaktlinser. Lika många hade ett lägre eller ett oförändrat AK/A-värde med refraktionsstyrkor för glasögon.

Abstract:
Flame treatment of polypropylene is a polarization process which improves the adhesion qualities of the substrate (Kostyk, 2000). Flame treatment is known as a "Pre-Treatment" process and is widely used in industry to promote adhesion before the application of a wide range of processes. Processes such as gluing, painting, lamination and printing are all preceded by a flame treatment process (Eckert, 2004). The flame treatment process is achieved using a gas burner, normally burning liquid propane gas, which is fired directly onto the surface to be treated (Sabreen, 2005). The flame is passed over the surface at a distance and speed so as to treat the entire surface and not burn the substrate. Chemical changes occur in the substrate however these changes do not penetrate very deep into the substrate (Cain, 2000). It is important to remember this is a scientific process and the variables speed, distance and temperature of the flame must be controlled with a certain amount of accuracy. The purpose of this research is to determine the ideal conditions which result in the optimum adhesion between the substrate and the proceeding processes. Once the ideal conditions have been determined the research will continue to find the lower limits to gain adequate adhesion thereby tailoring the process for high volume production.

Li, Yuan. "Hierarchical Bayesian Model for AK Composite Estimators in the Current Population Survey (CPS)." Thesis, The George Washington University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10748002.

Full text
Abstract:

The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a multistage probability sample survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The 4-8-4 rotation design is applied to produce overlap in the sample across months. Several weighting steps are used to adjust the ultimate sample in each month to be representative of the population. In order to produce efficient estimates of labor force levels and month-to-month change, the so-called AK composite estimator combines current estimates from eight rotation panels and the previous month’s estimates to estimate current values. Values of coefficients A and K are chosen every decade or so for the nation. The Successive Difference Replicate (SDR) method and Balanced Repeated Replication (BRR) method are currently used by the CPS for estimating the variance of the AK Composite Estimates.

Instead of using constant CPS (A, K) values for AK Composite Estimator over time, one could find the monthly optimal coefficients ( A, K) that minimize the variance for measuring the monthly level of unemployment in the target population. The CPS (A, K) values are stable over time but can produce larger variance in some months, while the monthly optimal (A, K) values have lower variance within a month but high variability across months.

In order to make a compromise between the CPS (A, K) values and monthly optimal (A, K), a Hierarchical Bayesian method is proposed through modeling the obtained monthly optimal ( A, K)’s using a bivariate normal distribution. The parameters, including the mean vector and the variance-covariance matrix, are unknown in this distribution. In such case, a first step towards a more general model is to assume a conjugate prior distribution for the bivariate normal model. Computing the conditional posterior distribution can be approximated through simulation. In particular, it can be achieved by the Gibbs sampling algorithm with its sequential sampling. As the key to the success of this Hierarchical Bayesian method is that approximated distributions are improved as iteration goes on in the simulation, one needs to check the convergence of the simulated sequences. Then, the sample mean after a number of iterations in the simulation will serve as the Hierarchical Bayesian (HB) (A, K). The HB (A, K) estimates in effect produce a shrinkage between the CPS (A, K) values and the monthly optimal (A, K) values. The shrinkage of the estimates of the coefficients ( A, K) occurs by manipulating the certain hyperparameter in the model.

In this dissertation, detailed comparisons are made among the three estimators. The AK Estimator using the CPS (A, K) values, using the monthly optimal (A, K) values, and using the Hierarchical Bayesian (A,K) values are compared in terms of estimates produced, estimated variance, and estimated coefficients of variation. In each month of the data set, separate estimates using the three methods are produced.

In order to assess the performance of the proposed methods, a simulation study is implemented and summarized. In the CPS, eight rotating survey panels contribute to the overall estimate in each month. Each panel is measured in a month at one of its month-in- sample. The month-in- sample range from one to eight. In the simulation, month-in- sample values are generated as if replicate panels were available for estimation. These month-in-sample values are used as the original monthly panel estimates of unemployment to produce CPS-style (A, K) estimates, AK-estimates using monthly optimal ( A, K) values, and AK-estimates using Hierarchical Bayesian ( A, K) values. Performance of each method is evaluated on the simulated data by examining several criteria including bias, variance, and mean squared error.

My dissertation analyzes the architectural voice of the Islamic bourgeoisie by evaluating contemporary government-funded urban renewal projects in Turkey. This topic also discusses the counter voices' response to the urban renewal programs which sparked the Gezi Park protests of summer 2013. My dissertation explores how the AK Party is framing Ottoman history and remaking the Turkish urban landscape by urban development projects. I spell out specific ways in which Erdogan uses cultural capital of the Ottoman past to frame Erdoganian Neo-Ottomanism. My work investigates the AK Party's Islamic form of neoliberalism with Pierre Bourdieu's concept of cultural capital. Specifically I look at the application of Istanbul as the European Capital of Culture (ECoC), an urban renewal project by the AK Party in the Ankara neighborhood of Hamamonu, and the protests at Istanbul's Gezi Park and Ankara's Ulucanlar prison complex.

Abstract:
Neste trabalho fica evidente que existe uma relaÃÃo nÃo linear entre a taxa de formaÃÃo bruta de capital fixo e a taxa de crescimento econÃmico na economia brasileira e, devido a essa nÃo linearidade, o teste de prediÃÃes do modelo AK e neoclÃssico proposto por Jones (1995) passa a ser inconclusivo, pois existe espaÃo para as prediÃÃes de ambos os modelos. Nosso modelo economÃtrico indica que, teoricamente, a produtividade marginal do capital se modifica de acordo com uma taxa de crescimento indicada pelo parÃmetro threshold. Essa modificaÃÃo pode aparentemente ser explicada devido à modificaÃÃo do coeficiente de elasticidade de substituiÃÃo entre capital e trabalho, ficando aqui uma proposta de novas investigaÃÃes. Ao tratarmos de polÃticas pÃblicas, constata-se que, por mais que se amplie a taxa de formaÃÃo bruta de capital fixo chegaremos, no mÃximo, ao âcatch-upâ do crescimento do PIB das economias de renda mÃdia baixa e do crescimento econÃmico dos paÃses do leste asiÃtico e do PacÃfico. O trabalho tambÃm sugere que o montante de recursos necessÃrio para se concluir tais âcatch-upsâ à da ordem de R$ 786 bilhÃes.

Our econometrical model indicates that, theoretically, the productivity delinquent of the capital if modifies a tax of growth in accordance with indicated for the parameter threshold. This modification can pparently be explained due to modification of the coefficient of elasticity of substitution between capital and work, being here a proposal of new inquiries. When dealing with public politics, one evidences that, no matter how hard if extends the tax of rude formation of capital fixture will arrive, in the maximum, to âcatch-upâ of the growth of the GIP of the economies of average income decrease and of the economic growth of the countries of the Asian east and the Pacific.

Abstract:
Turkey-EU relations have attracted high public attention and academic curiosity as a special case that has provided a fruitful environment for a wide-ranging group of study areas. This thesis is particularly interested in the way in which AK Party and specifically Recep Tayyip Erdogan have been represented in the mainstream western media and political discourse, and how these representations have influenced specific encounters in Turkey-EU relations. The changes in the dominant representations over time have a special place in this analysis. This thesis mainly claims that, although there is no linear or causal relationship between representations and policy choices, western media and political discourse on AK Party had decisive influence in limiting possible policy options for policy makers. Positive and praising discourse on AK Party and Turkey that dominated western political landscape enabled EU leaders to open the way for membership negotiations. Similarly, negative and even demonising discourse on AK Party became the biggest obstacle for the continuation of the negotiations. This thesis claims that understanding the international social context is crucial in grasping the background of discourses and their influences on actors. Thus, it focuses on post-9/11 international social context with specific emphasis on western security discourses and the rise of Islamophobia in western societies, as crucial factors in shaping the international context during the relevant period. Turkey-EU relations is at its lowest point since the beginning of accession talks in 2005. The prospects for Turkey’s EU membership are looking bleaker than ever now, as is the representation of Erdogan and AK Party in the mainstream western media and political discourse. By using discourse analysis method, this thesis analyses the representations of AK Party in western mass media and political landscape, especially in the political turmoil during and after infamous Gezi Park incidents in Turkey that highlighted the problems in Turkey-EU relations as a negative turning point.

The mansoni schistosomiasis is the most important of human helminthiasis. Despite advances in its control this disease continues to spread to new geographical areas. It currently affects more than 250 million people. However, limited options are available for and Praziquantel is the drug of choice. Various authors have been searching new drugs and vaccines to control schistosomiasis. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a prior immunization with recombinant enzymes of Schistosoma mansoni: Adenosine Kinase (AK) and Hypoxanthine-guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT), which are important for parasite purine metabolism, as well as a MIX of these enzymes, and subsequent challenge with cercariae of the parasite in the control of murine infection. Female Balb/c mice were divided into 5 groups. The groups were enzyme-immunized in three doses and 15 days after the last immunization, animals were infected with S. mansoni. After infection in the 47º day egg count were carried in mice faeces and in the 48º day mice were sacrificed for evaluation of leukocyte numbers (blood and peritoneal cavity), worm burden, antibodies production, cytokines quantification and histopathological analysis of the liver of these animals. Our results strongly suggest that, immunization with a MIX originated in these animals reduction in the number of eggs in faeces by 46% when compared with the animals of the infected group. Animals of the groups immunized with AK, HGPRT and/or MIX seem to induce a reduction in the number of eosinophils in the peritoneal cavity when compared to the animals of the infected group. Concerning worm burden, the animals of the MIX group presented greater reduction (31.27%) when compared to the animals of the infected group. The animals of the immunized groups, AK, HGPRT and/or MIX were capable of producing IgG1 antibodies and IgE anti the enzymes and anti the parasite proteins. The animals of the immunized group MIX showed a slight increase in IL-4 production and observed reduction of IL-10, and in the HGPRT group induced a slight increase on IFN-γ production when in compared with the infected group. In addition, the animals of the AK group showed a decrease in the number of hepatic granulomas in tissue (44,55%) and the eggs present in liver (42,31%). Therefore, it suggests that immunization with these enzymes can contributes to schistosomiasis control, as well as it might helps to modulate experimental infection inducing reduction of physiopathology of this parasitosis.
A esquistossomose mansônica é a mais importante das helmintíases humanas. Apesar dos avanços no seu controle continua se espalhando para novas áreas geográficas. Atualmente afeta mais de 250 milhões de pessoas. Entretanto, opções limitadas estão disponíveis para o tratamento da doença e o único fármaco de escolha é o Praziquantel. Assim, vários estudos têm sido propostos para encontrar novos fármacos e vacinas para combater a esquistossomose. Dessa forma, o presente estudo teve como proposta avaliar os efeitos da imunização prévia com as enzimas recombinantes de Schistosoma mansoni Adenosina Quinase (AK) e Hipoxantina-Guanina Fosforibosiltransferase (HGPRT), que participam do metabolismo de purinas do parasito, bem como com o MIX das duas enzimas, e posterior desafio com cercárias do parasito, para o controle da infecção murina. Camundongos fêmea Balb/c foram divididos em 5 grupos. Os grupos imunizados receberam três doses das enzimas e após 15 dias da última imunização, os animais foram infectados com S. mansoni. Após a infecção, no 47° dia foi realizada a contagem de ovos nas fezes e no 48° dia foi realizada a eutanásia dos animais para avaliação de resposta leucocitária (sangue e lavado da cavidade peritoneal), carga parasitária, produção de anticorpos, quantificação de citocinas e análise histopatológica do fígado desses animais. Os resultados demonstraram que, a imunização com o MIX promoveu nesses animais redução do número de ovos nas fezes de 46% quando comparado com os animais do grupo somente infectado. Os animais dos grupos imunizados com AK, HGPRT e/ou MIX apresentaram diminuição na quantidade de eosinófilos na cavidade peritoneal quando comparados com os animais do grupo somente infectado. Em relação à carga parasitária, os animais do grupo imunizado com o MIX apresentaram maior redução (31,27%) quando comparados aos animais do grupo somente infectado. Os animais dos grupos imunizados com AK, HGPRT e/ou MIX foram capazes de produzir anticorpos IgG1 e IgE anti as enzimas e anti as proteínas do parasito. Os animais do grupo imunizado com o MIX apresentaram aumento discreto de IL-4 e foi observada redução de IL-10, e no grupo imunizado com HGPRT houve aumento discreto de IFN-γ, quando comparados com os animais do grupo somente infectado. Além disso, os animais do grupo imunizado com AK apresentaram redução do número de granulomas hepáticos (44,55%) e de ovos no fígado (42,31%), quando comparados com o grupo somente infectado. Assim, sugere-se que a imunização com essas enzimas pode contribuir para o controle da esquistossomose, bem como auxiliar na modulação da infecção experimental, induzindo redução da fisiopatologia desta parasitose.

Avec l’augmentation des performances informatiques et numériques, ces modèles sont de plus en plus complexes et coûteux en temps de calcul pour une meilleure représentation de la réalité. Les problèmes réels de mécanique sont sujets en pratique à des incertitudes qui peuvent impliquer des difficultés lorsque des solutions de conception admissibles et/ou optimales sont recherchées. La fiabilité est une mesure intéressante des risques de défaillance du produit conçu dus aux incertitudes. L’estimation de la mesure de fiabilité, la probabilité de défaillance, nécessite un grand nombre d’appels aux modèles coûteux et deviennent donc inutilisable en pratique. Pour pallier ce problème, la métamodélisation est utilisée ici, et plus particulièrement les méthodes AK qui permettent la construction d’un modèle mathématique représentatif du modèle coûteux avec un temps d’évaluation beaucoup plus faible. Le premier objectif de ces travaux de thèses est de discuter des formulations mathématiques des problèmes de conception sous incertitudes. Cette formulation est un point crucial de la conception de nouveaux produits puisqu’elle permet de comprendre les résultats obtenus. Une définition des deux concepts de fiabilité et de robustesse est aussi proposée. Ces travaux ont abouti à une publication dans la revue internationale Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (Lelièvre, et al. 2016). Le second objectif est de proposer une nouvelle méthode AK pour l’estimation de probabilités de défaillance associées à des évènements rares. Cette nouvelle méthode, nommée AK-MCSi, présente trois améliorations de la méthode AK-MCS : des simulations séquentielles de Monte Carlo pour diminuer le temps d’évaluation du métamodèle, un nouveau critère d’arrêt sur l’apprentissage plus stricte permettant d’assurer le bon classement de la population de Monte Carlo et un enrichissement multipoints permettant la parallélisation des calculs du modèle coûteux. Ce travail a été publié dans la revue Structural Safety (Lelièvre, et al. 2018). Le dernier objectif est de proposer de nouvelles méthodes pour l’estimation de probabilités de défaillance en grande dimension, c’est-à-dire un problème défini à la fois par un modèle coûteux et un très grand nombre de variables aléatoires d’entrée. Deux nouvelles méthodes, AK-HDMR1 et AK-PCA, sont proposées pour faire face à ce problème et sont basées respectivement sur une décomposition fonctionnelle et une technique de réduction de dimension. La méthode AK-HDMR1 fait l’objet d’une publication soumise à la revue Reliability Engineering and Structural Safety le 1er octobre 2018
Engineers increasingly use numerical model to replace the experimentations during the design of new products. With the increase of computer performance and numerical power, these models are more and more complex and time-consuming for a better representation of reality. In practice, optimization is very challenging when considering real mechanical problems since they exhibit uncertainties. Reliability is an interesting metric of the failure risks of design products due to uncertainties. The estimation of this metric, the failure probability, requires a high number of evaluations of the time-consuming model and thus becomes intractable in practice. To deal with this problem, surrogate modeling is used here and more specifically AK-based methods to enable the approximation of the physical model with much fewer time-consuming evaluations. The first objective of this thesis work is to discuss the mathematical formulations of design problems under uncertainties. This formulation has a considerable impact on the solution identified by the optimization during design process of new products. A definition of both concepts of reliability and robustness is also proposed. These works are presented in a publication in the international journal: Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (Lelièvre, et al. 2016). The second objective of this thesis is to propose a new AK-based method to estimate failure probabilities associated with rare events. This new method, named AK-MCSi, presents three enhancements of AK-MCS: (i) sequential Monte Carlo simulations to reduce the time associated with the evaluation of the surrogate model, (ii) a new stricter stopping criterion on learning evaluations to ensure the good classification of the Monte Carlo population and (iii) a multipoints enrichment permitting the parallelization of the evaluation of the time-consuming model. This work has been published in Structural Safety (Lelièvre, et al. 2018). The last objective of this thesis is to propose new AK-based methods to estimate the failure probability of a high-dimensional reliability problem, i.e. a problem defined by both a time-consuming model and a high number of input random variables. Two new methods, AK-HDMR1 and AK-PCA, are proposed to deal with this problem based on respectively a functional decomposition and a dimensional reduction technique. AK-HDMR1 has been submitted to Reliability Enginnering and Structural Safety on 1st October 2018

Abstract:
Sjukvårdsfunktionen i Försvarsmakten är viktig när skador uppkommer. Försvarsmaktens förmåga eller oförmåga att erbjuda soldater kvalificerad sjukvård är avgörande för soldaternas förtroende till den egna förmågan. De svenska sjukvårdarna förväntas att oavsett terräng och hot kunna ta hand om en patient i nöd, de är därför utrustade med vapen för att kunna skydda sig själva och sin patient. I Försvarsmakten betyder det att sjukvårdaren bär en automatkarbin 5. Den här uppsatsen kommer att undersöka hur tre olika vapensystem passar in i rollen som huvudbeväpning på en sjukvårdsgrupp. Undersökningen visar att en PDW (Personal Defence Weapon) skulle vara ett bra alternativ till befintlig beväpning.
The ability to provide a good medical treatment to injured service personnel in the Swedish Armed Forces is important, but the Armed Forces' ability or inability to provide soldiers qualified care is also vital for the members of the armed forces confidence for their own ability. Swedish medics are expected to take care of a patient, whatever the terrain and threat may be. Swedish medics aren’t considered to be combatants in war or conflict but the law gives them the right to defend themselves and their patients. They are currently equipped with the Ak 5 to protect themselves and their patients, a weapon that is used by all service personel In the Swedish Armed Forces, this means that the medics carry a full length rifle. This report will examine the weapon best suited for a medical team to carry out its duties while also providing a level of personal protection should the need arise.

Abstract:
Les échangeurs réacteurs intensifiés (ERI) sont des échangeurs de chaleur utilisés comme réacteurs chimiques afin d'intensifier les procédés de synthèse. L'ERI étudié dans ce travail est composé de plaques en carbure de silicium, lui conférant ainsi des propriétés thermiques et chimiques importantes. En contrepartie, l'utilisation du SiC accentue les risques de rupture fragile, à ajouter aux risques principaux associés aux ERI qui sont les fuites de fluide et l'emballement thermique de la réaction. L'intensification des procédés représente un gain important en terme de productivité, de sécurité et d'impact environnemental, à condition de maîtriser la conception et la mise en œuvre de l'ERI. L'objectif de ce travail est de proposer une démarche d'étude adaptée à ce type de produit en général, et d'optimiser la conception de cet ERI en particulier. Pour cela, les modèles thermo-chimique et thermo-mécanique de l'ERI sont développés puis utilisés dans une étude mécano-fiabiliste, notamment au moyen à la méthode AK-MCS basée sur l'interpolation par krigeage de la fonction de performance
Intensified heat exchanger reactors (ERI) are heat exchangers used as chemical reactors for process intensification. The ERI studied in this work is composed of silicon carbide (SiC) based plates, giving it interesting thermal and chemical properties. In return, the use of SiC increases the brittle fracture risk, in addition of the main risks that are leaking fluid and thermal runaway reaction. The process intensification represents a significant gain in productivity, safety and environmental impact, provided that the design and the implementation procedure of the ERI are optimized. The objective of this work is to propose a process of study suited to this type of product in general, and to optimize the design of this ERI in particular. For this, the thermo-chemical and thermo-mechanical models are developed and used in a mechano-reliability study, notably using the AK-MCS method based on kriging interpolation of the performance function

Abstract:
Dans la Turquie moderne bien marquée par la laïcité, l’AKP qualifié « conservateur démocrate » par ses fondateurs issus de la mouvance islamiste est le grand gagnant des élections de tout ordre depuis son apparition en 2001. Bien que l’Establishment kémaliste ait voulu balayer cette formation n’a pu le faire. Paradoxalement toute tentative de sa part n’a fait qu’accroître sa popularité. La question est donc de savoir « quelles sont les transformations socioculturelles et politiques de la société ainsi que les atouts de l’AKP qui peuvent expliquer sa success story à la fois à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur du pays ? ». La réponse à cette question dépend de ce qu’est le « conservatisme démocrate » ayant pu obtenir le feu vert de l’Establishment pour accéder à la scène politique : où s’inscrit le parti sur l’axe politique ; en quoi se distingue-t-il de ses contreparties ; le plus important est-il véritablement une idéologie politique distincte de l’islamisme comme l’avancent ses idéologues ? C’est ainsi que nous pourrons savoir si l’islamisme turc est en train d’inventer dans le monde musulman une forme comparable à ce qu’a été la « démocratie chrétienne » dans les pays de l’Europe. Et si nous pouvons classer l’AKP parmi les islamistes, nous nous interrogerons sur le point de savoir si l’avenir de l’islamisme comme force politique de gouvernement est en Turquie ou ailleurs ?
In modern Turkey clearly marked by secularism, the AKP called “conservative democrat” by its founders from the Islamist movement is the winner of elections of any kind since its appearance in 2001. Although the Kemalist Establishment had wanted to throw out this party could not do it. Paradoxically any attempt on his part has only increased its popularity. Then, the question is “what are the sociocultural and political transformations of society as well as the strengths of the AKP, which may explain its success story both inside and outside the country? ”. The answer to this question depends on what is “Conservative democracy” which could get the green light from the Establishment to enter the political arena: where the party is situated on the political spectrum, what distinguishes it from its counterparties, the most important is it really a political ideology which is distinct from Islamism as suggested by its ideologues? This is how we can know if Turkish Islamism is in the process of inventing in the Muslim world a form comparable to what was the “Christian democracy” in European countries. And if we can classify the AKP among the Islamists, we will examine whether the future of Islam as a political force of government is in Turkey or elsewhere?

5-Hidroxi-2-hidroximetil-γ-pirona (AK), conhecido inibidor de tirosinase, enzima importante para síntese de melanina e por isso é usado para desordens de pigmentação. AK também promove significativa ativação de macrófagos e promove acúmulo citoplasmático de espécies reativas de oxigênio (EROs), o que sugere seu papel como potencializador do sistema imune como microbicida. Não existe trabalho na literatura que mostra a ação do AK no sistema nervoso central (SNC) como ativador celular e seu possível papel protetor frente a infecções. Para testar essa hipótese usamos glias de Muller da retina que apresentam propriedades semelhantes aos dos macrófagos e LPS, como ativador glial. Portanto, o presente trabalho avalia a ação do AK como possível papel protetor na morte celular induzida por LPS, em cultura de células da glia provenientes de embriões de galinha. Culturas enriquecidas com células da glia, foram tratadas com AK (10, 25, 50 e 100 μM) e LPS (0,1; 1; 10, 100 e 500 ng/mL) durante 24 horas. Após tratamento, as células não mostraram citotoxicidade tratadas com AK, entretanto, tratadas com LPS ocorreu morte celular, de uma maneira dose-dependente. Verificamos o acúmulo de EROs em grupos tratados com AK (100 μM) e LPS (100 e 500 ng/ml), sendo que nas culturas co-tratados com AK e LPS nas mesmas concentrações houve uma redução desse acúmulo. AK também foi capaz de inibir a atividade das enzimas antioxidantes, ( catalase e Superóxido dismutase) e inibir os níveis de glutationa, enquanto LPS produz um aumento na atividade dessas enzimas. AK foi capaz de inibir as enzimas antioxidantes e glutationa do aumento induzido por LPS. Esses dados revelam que AK promove a modulação do balanço oxidativo e antioxidativo como possível mecanismo protetor na morte celular produzido por LPS em células enriquecidas de Glia de Müller.
5-Hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-γ-pyrone (AK), a known inhibitor of tyrosinase, an enzyme important for melanin synthesis and therefore used for pigmentation disorders. AK also promotes significant activation of macrophages and promotes cytoplasmic accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), suggesting its role as a potentiator of the immune system and microbicide. There is no work in literature that shows the action of AK in the central nervous system (CNS) as a cellular activator and its possible protective role against infections. To test this hypothesis, it use retinal Muller glia which have similar properties to those of macrophages. Therefore, the present work evaluates the action of AK as a possible protective role in LPS-induced cell death in culture of glial cells from chicken embryos. Cultures enriched with glial cells were treated with AK (10, 25, 50 and 100 μM) and LPS (0.1, 10, 100, and 500 ng / ml) for 24 hours. After treatment, the cells did not show AK-treated cytotoxicity; however, treated with LPS, cell death occurred in a dose-dependent manner. We verified the accumulation of EROs in groups treated with AK (100 μM) and LPS (100 and 500 ng / ml). Cultures co-treated with AK and LPS in the same concentrations there was a reduction of accumulation of EROs. AK was also able to inhibit the activity of antioxidant enzymes, (catalase and Superoxide dismutase) and glutathione levels, while LPS produces an increase in the activity of these antixodants. AK was able to inhibit the antioxidant enzymes and glutathione from the increase induced by LPS. These data show that AK promotes the modulation of oxidative and antioxidative balance as a possible protective mechanism in the cell death produced by LPS in Müller's Glia enriched cells.

Abstract:
Um Kernfragen zur Mehrautorenschaft in einer bestimmten Zielgruppe zu klären, konzentriert sich diese Arbeit auf Aspekte von technologischer Kompetenz, menschlicher Interaktion und institutioneller Leitlinien. Zuerst werden interdisziplinäre Argumente in Bezug zu Mehrautorenschaft aus den Sozialwissenschaften, Naturwissenschaften, Informatik und Geisteswissenschaften präsentiert. Die Literaturübersicht enthält Statistiken zu Informationsnutzung, Beschreibung von Strategien des Wissensmanagements, Erforschung von Verhaltensmustern und Trends in der Kommunikationstechnologie, sowie Diskussionen einiger historischer, politischer und inhaltlicher Aspekte, welche die Anwendung des Internet als kollaboratives Werkzeug im akademischen Kontext beeinflussen können. Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich auch mit einigen Kontroversen zur Konzeption von Wissenschaft und wissenschaftlicher Praktiken, welche indirekt mit der Problematik von wissenschaftlicher Kommunikation und Zusammenarbeit, sowie Wissensproduktion in Zusammenhang stehen, insofern sie die Produktion Texten mit mehreren Autoren betreffen. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt der Arbeit befasst sich mir dem zur Zeit vorherrschenden System zur Evaluation akademischer Publikationen (Bibliometrie oder Scientometrie; QUALIS und SCIELO Systeme). Das vorhandene System für die Evaluation von Autoren ist in der Regel unfair /voreingenommen. Das liegt daran, das Statistiken leicht manipuliert werden können um einer bürokratischen und unternehmerischen Agenda zu folgen oder individuelle Interessen darzustellen, anstatt die wirklichen Verdienste eines Autors widerzuspiegeln. Die Untersuchung wurde anhand von semi-strukturierten Interviews durchgeführt, in Kombination mit einer quantitativen Erhebung, welche drei miteinander verbundene Aspekte (technologische, institutionelle und kulturelle), die bei der in Mehrautorenschaft eine Rolle spielen, innerhalb des Graduiertenprogramms in 'Forest Engineering' an der Universidade Federal do Paraná (Brasilien) hervorheben sollte.
In order to verify core issues for co-authorship in a specific audience, the current work focus on technological literacy, human interaction, and institutional policy. It first presents an interdisciplinary collection of arguments from social sciences, natural sciences, computer sciences, and humanities about scientific collaboration, especially regarding co-authorship activities. This literature review includes statistics on information usage, description of knowledge management strategies, exploration of behavioral patterns, communication technology trends, and discussions of some historical, political and contextual elements that may be influencing the application of the Internet as a collaborative tool within academic contexts. It also draws back few controversies about the concept of science and its practices, which are indirectly related to the problematic of scholarly communication, scientific collaboration, and knowledge production. The investigation targets these activities in what they concern the production of co-authored texts. A special focus of this work targets the current mainstream system of academic publishing ranking and evaluation (Bibliometrics or Scientometrics; QUALIS and SCIELO systems). The existing measurement system for the ranking of authors is generally an unfair/biased system, as statistics can easily be manipulated by a bureaucratic and corporate agenda, or by individual interests, rather than representing the real merit of an author. The inquiry applies a semi-structured in-depth interview combined with a quantitative survey intending to reveal three interrelated aspects (Technological, Institutional, and Cultural) involved in co-authorship activities within the Graduate Program in Forest Engineering at the Federal University of Paraná/Brazil.

In this study, the criteria for quality assessment and problems of open source (OS) product quality assurance, based on these criteria, are discussed. Broad use of open source products both in personal and business environment prove sufficient quality, despite of absence of traditional quality assurance methods for these products. There is no mature model for OS product quality evaluation - only various experimental models are applied (for example, OS project statistics criteria evaluation). OS product quality is also managed in unconventional methods, related to OS specific software development procedures (for example, volunteer control). A generalized method for OS product quality evaluation, derived from a combination of various metrics, is proposed.

Abstract:
According to AK and R&D models, permanent rise in investment rates and the growing number or researchers should have permanent effects on growth rate. Charles Jones (1995a) used the lack of long-term movements in GDP and productivity growth to challenge the validity of these models. The aim of this paper is to empirically re-test these models of endogenous growth. The author follows the methods proposed by Ch. Jones (1995a) and extends the analysis for variables that could offset the movements in growth rates. The results show no support for the tested models.

Abstract:
Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt die Geschichte der Deutschen Forschungshochschule, von ihrer Gründung 1947 bis zu ihrer Auflösung 1953. Nach dem Ende des 2. Weltkrieges kam es auf Seiten der amerikanischen Militärregierung zu Überlegungen, wie die in Berlin gelegenen Forschungsinstitute erhalten werden konnten. Vertreter der amerikanischen Militärregierung entwickelten den Plan, diese Forschungseinrichtungen nach dem Vorbild der amerikanischen „Schools of Advanced Studies“ zu einer völlig neuen Art von qualifizierten Hochschule zusammenzufassen, an welcher die Forschung mit der Lehre und Ausbildung verbunden werden sollte. Bereits zu Beginn der Planungen schlug der Deutschen Forschungshochschule von verschiedenen Seiten Widerstand entgegen, unter anderem von Seiten der Kaiser-Wilhelm-/Max-Planck-Gesellschaft aber auch von Seiten der westdeutschen Hochschulen. Mit der Gründung der Freien Universität erfuhr die Deutsche Forschungshochschule dann einen weiteren Bedeutungsverlust. Allerdings scheiterte die Forschungshochschule nicht nur an den äußeren Widerständen. Auch die Wissenschaftler der aufgenommen Institute selbst, sahen sich nicht als Teil eines neuen reformierten Hochschultypus, einer Ausbildungsstätte für den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs, sondern weiterhin als reine Forschungsinstitute. Bereits 1953 erfolgte dann die Auflösung der Deutschen Forschungshochschule, ohne dass sie jemals die in sie gesetzten Erwartungen tatsächlich erfüllen konnte. Im Zuge dieser Arbeit konnte herausgefunden werden, dass die Idee zur Gründung einer neuen Art qualifizierten Ausbildungsstätte ursprünglich auf den 1945 zum vorläufigen Leiter der Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft ernannten Robert Havemann zurückgeht. Bereits 1946 hatte er einen Plan zur Rettung der in Berlin-Dahlem gelegenen Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institute ausgearbeitet, der vorsah, diese Institute zum Kern einer neuartigen wissenschaftlichen Hochschule zu machen.
This dissertation discusses the history of the German research school, the so called “Deutsche Forschungshochschule“, from its establishment in 1947 until its dissolution in 1953. After the end of World War II, the American military government debated how to preserve the research institutes situated in Berlin. Representatives of the American military government developed a plan to transform these research institutes and remodel them after the American Schools of Advanced Studies, and to create a completely new type of qualified school in which research as well as teaching and training would be combined. Right from the start of the planning process, the Deutsche Forschungshochschule faced opposition from different sides, for example from the Kaiser-Wilhelm-/Max-Planck-Society and the universities in West Germany. The Deutsche Forschungshochschule lost further ground due to the new founding of another university, the Freie Universität. The Forschungshochschule failed to succeed not only due to external opposition. Scientist of the affiliated institutes within the Forschungshochschule did not consider themselves as part of a newly reformed type of school with a focus on education and training for young academics. Instead, they continued to consider themselves as research-only institutes. By 1953, the dissolution of the Deutsche Forschungshochschule set in, with the school failing to reach any of its expectations. This dissertation reveals that the idea for the establishment of a new type of qualified school was originated by Robert Havemann, who had been elected head of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Society in 1945. He had already worked out a plan for the rescue of the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institutes in Berlin-Dahlem in 1946. His plan had intended to integrate the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institutes into a new type of research school.

Abstract:
Lors de l’effondrement du système soviétique en 1991, trois paramètres réunis pour la première fois dans l’Histoire – une production sans précédent d’armes légères et de petit calibre issue de la Guerre Froide, un recul ou un affaiblissement des Etats à l’origine de l’émergence de rapports criminels nouveaux et enfin une libéralisation croissante des échanges – ont engendré un approvisionnement constant des filières clandestines d’armes à feu en provenance des PECO et des Balkans. Dans toute l’Europe occidentale ou balkanique, et dans la plupart des conflits africains, certaines de ces armes ont été déversées sur la base de rivalités sociales, politiques et religieuses renaissantes et toujours liées de près ou de loin aux économies parallèles et à la prédation territoriale ou énergétique. Mais derrière les idées reçues sur la pénétration de Kalachnikov venues de l’Est européen dans nos cités sensibles ou dans les mains de rebelles de tous pays, et sur la nature réelle des cibles dans la ligne de mire de ces armes, le besoin d’autoprotection réel ou perçu des populations en danger ne semble laisser aucune place au hasard ou à la seule recherche de gain financier
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 three main parameters have been gathered for the first time in History : a huge production of small arms and light weapons build during the Cold War, a withdrawal or a weakening of States which lets appear new criminal links and at last an increasing trade liberalization. These has generated a constant supply for the clandestines firearms channels from the Central and Eastern Europe and from the Balkans. Within the Western and balkanic Europe and in the majority of the African conflicts, lots of these arms have been delivered on the ground of resurgent social, political and religious rivalries which are always more or less linked to the underground economy and to the territorial or commodities predation. However, despite the impressions about the invasion of Kalachnikov rifles, came from Eastern Europe into our Western suburbs or in the hands of rebels worldwide, the real targets in front of these weapons may be different in reality. And the real or percieved need of self-protection for people in danger seems to leave room to hazard or money

Abstract:
O presente estudo trata da produção de etil-ésteres de ácidos graxos (EEAGs) por reação de transesterificação do resíduo gorduroso de fritura usado num sistema isento de solvente, catalisado pela lipase microbiana de Pseudomonas fluorescens (Lipase AK), imobilizada em resíduo inerte do tipo polihidroxibutirato (PHB), por adsorção física. A atividade hidrolítica máxima, medida sobre a hidrólise de emulsão de azeite, a pH 7,0 e temperatura de 37 ° C, foi de 413,76 U / g de suporte , com uso de um carregamento de proteína igual a 30 mg / g suporte. No presente estudo, foi utilizado um planejamento fatorial completo com 22 variáveis ??do processo que tiveram uma influência significativa na síntese enzimática dos EEAGs por transesterificação do resíduo gorduroso usado. As reações foram realizadas a uma concentração de fixa do biocatalisador em 10% m / m, sob agitação contínua a 200 rpm, e tempo de reação de 15 h. Em condições ótimas de experimentação (razão molar de óleo: etanol de 1: 4,7 e temperatura de reação de 34 ° C), o percentual de rendimento máximo foi 67,9% de transesterificação foi atingido. No entanto, EEAGs purificados produzidos numa razão molar de óleo:etanol 1:3, em temperatura de 45 ° C exibiu uma viscosidade cinemática de 3,82 centipoise. Este estudo demonstrou que o design experimental é adequado para a maximização da síntese EEAGs por transesterificação de resíduo gorduroso de fritura usado num sistema livre de solventes. Esta metodologia também faz com que seja possível determinar uma região de trabalho desejável onde um melhor desempenho da reação de transesterificação pode ser obtido.
The present study deals with the production of fatty acids ethyl esters (FAEEs) by transesterification reaction of waste cooking oil in a solvent-free system mediated by microbial lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens (Lipase AK) immobilized by physical adsorption on polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) particles. The maximum hydrolytic activity, measured on the hydrolysis of olive oil emulsion at pH 7.0 and 37 °C, was 413.76 U/g of support for the biocatalyst prepared by offering protein loading of 30 mg/g of support. In the present study, it was proposed a 22 full factorial design to find the variables of the process that have a significant influence on the enzymatic synthesis of FAEEs by transesterification of waste cooking oil. The reactions were performed at fixed biocatalyst concentration of 10 % m/m, continuous agitation of 200 rpm and time reaction of 15 h. Under optimal experimental conditions (molar ratio oil:ethanol of 1:4.7 and reaction temperature of 34 °C), maximum transesterification yield percentage of 67.9% was reached. However, purified FAEEs produced at molar ratio oil:ethanol 1:3 and 45°C exhibited kinematic viscosity of 3.82 centipoise. This study demonstrated that the experimental design is appropriate for the maximization of FAEEs synthesis by transesterification of waste cooking oil in a solvent-free system. This methodology also makes it possible to determine a desirable working region where a better performance for the transesterification reaction can be achieved.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the diverse ways in which social agents construct the relationship between past, present and future through a study of historical consciousness and its role in the negotiation of identity and shifting power relations in the border region of Southwest Serbia. The focus of the research falls on ethnic relations between Serbs and Bosniaks, who predominantly inhabit the area, and the boundaries that they imagine surround the world they live in. The goal has been to trace the life of these ethnic boundaries, and with it the relationships between those who imagine them by following their transformations in history, as well as to inquire into elements of social patterns that may be discernable within a contextualized and historicized analysis of the region. In order to achieve this, I have analysed the diverse pasts and futures that coalesce in the many 'time spaces' that Southwest Serbia's social actors inhabit in any present moment and from which they (re)construct these boundaries and their identities. The research has been situated within the wider anthropological discussion about the relation of culture (memory) and history and draws on insights made by relevant studies and ethnographies conducted on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. The data presented demonstrates that ethnicity and nationality are not fully crystalized as concepts in Southwest Serbia, their contents are imagined in inconsistent ways in and between social groups, while ethno-national identities and histories are not on the whole felt to be crucial to one's personal sense of self, but are perceived and put to use as malleable political resources. As a result, the most dominant allegiance in Southwest Serbia is to one's family, the only group whose 'essence' escapes political malleability and whose members share a common cross-temporal vision.

Abstract:
This thesis will examine the transformation in the Turkish foreign policy towards the Middle East and evaluate the relevance of &ldquo
soft power&rdquo
term for describing Turkey&rsquo
s new activism in the region. Since the establishment of the Turkish Republic, Turkey has aligned itself with the Western world so that this alignment has been the main determinant of its relations with the non-Western world. The Middle East was not an exception in this process. After decades of remaining aloof from the Middle Eastern affairs, Turkey has followed a new foreign policy towards the region, as part of its new foreign policy vision, since the AK Party coming to power in 2002 and has shown a growing willingness to participate in Middle Eastern affairs. Various arguments are developed by different actors, including the one elaborated in this thesis, to explain the new activism of Turkey in the region.

Geology
M.S.
Mass loss of alpine glaciers presently account for about half of the cryospheric contribution to the global sea-level rise. Mass balance of alpine glaciers has predominantly been monitored by; (1) glaciological and hydrological methods, and (2) satellite gravimetric methods using data from NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission. However, the former can be logistically costly and have large extrapolation errors: measurements taken at monthly temporal scales are expensive and have a spatial resolution of roughly one kilometer. The latter provides monthly mass-balance estimates of aggregates of alpine glaciers, although the spatial resolution (~300 km) is far too coarse for assessing individual glaciers’ mass balance. Ground-based, time-lapse microgravity measurements can potentially overcome some of the disadvantages of the glaciological, hydrological, and satellite gravitational methods for assessing mass changes and their spatial distribution on a single glacier. Gravity models were utilized to predict the gravity signals of the summer-time mass balance, changes in the seasonal snow cover outside of the glacier, and the vertical gravity gradient (VGG) needed for the free-air correction on Wolverine Glacier, AK. The modeled gravity signal of the summer-time mass balance (average of -0.237 mGal) is more than an order of magnitude larger than the uncertainty of conventional relative gravimeters (±0.007 mGal). Therefore, modeling predict that the time-lapse gravitational method could detect the summer-time mass balance on Wolverine Glacier. The seasonal snow effect was shown to have the greatest influence (~ -0.15 mGal) on the outer 100 m boundary of the glacier and minimal effect (~ -0.02 mGal) towards the center, both larger than the uncertainty of relative gravimeters. The VGG has a positive deviation, about -0.1 to -0.2 mGal/m, from the normal VGG (-0.309 mGal/m). Thus, seasonal snow effect and VGG need to be correctly accounted for when processing gravity measurements to derive the residual gravity signal of the glacier mass balance. Accurate measurements of elevation changes, seasonal snow depth, and the VGG should be performed in future gravity surveys of glaciers.

Abstract:
Cette thèse met en évidence la relation complexe entre l'AK Parti et l'UE, acteur important dans le cadre de la politique extérieure turque mais aussi dans l'existence même de l'AK Parti. Ce parti est arrivé au pouvoir en 2002 juste après sa création en 2001. Depuis lors, l'AK Parti a consolidé sa place et il est ainsi devenu sans conteste l'un des partis les plus importants et les plus forts de l'histoire de la vie politique turque. D'ailleurs, la politique européenne de la Turquie est un sujet qui attire toujours autant l'attention, et cela même à l'heure actuelle où elle n'est plus considérée comme l'axe central privilégié dans la politique extérieure turque et n'existe plus comme auparavant dans l'agenda de l'AK Parti. En effet, comme les négociations avec l'UE ont été entamées avec l'AK Parti, ce sujet retient beaucoup plus l'attention et est devenu un sujet intéressant à analyser car les dirigeants de l'AK Parti viennent de la tradition de la Vision Nationale. En faisant une lecture du parti et, plus précisément, du positionnement de ce dernier envers l'UE, nous avons cherché à comprendre la signification de l'UE et le rôle qu'elle a joué et qu'elle joue encore dans la vie du parti. En conduisant tout d'abord une comparaison entre les politiques européennes de l'AK Parti et celles des partis politiques de la Vision Nationale, notre objectif est de comprendre le positionnement de l'AK Parti dans le système politique turc. Puis, en analysant la vision de l'AK Parti vis-à-vis de l'UE durant les processus électoraux et les référendums, nous avons pu voir l'évolution des politiques européennes de l'AK Parti lors de chaque période électorale et également le niveau d'évolution de l'interaction entre les deux parties. Parallèlement, nous avons essayé de comprendre quelle place détient l'UE parmi les politiques étrangères de ce parti. Même si les politiques européennes ont été, comme pour toute l'histoire politique turque, un élément stable pour l'AK Parti, leur importance ou leur intensité a évolué avec le temps. Par conséquent, pour notre étude, nous avons considéré l'UE comme un acteur invariable, les élections et le temps comme des éléments variables. Cette recherche doctorale vise donc à démontrer le positionnement de l'AK Parti par rapport à l'UE et l'évolution de l'importance de l'UE pour ce dernier depuis sa création en 2001 et à analyser l'AK Parti via ses politiques européennes
This thesis highlights the complex relationship between the AK Party and the EU, a major player which shapes Turkey's foreign policy and also ensures existence of the AK Party. The party came to power in 2002 just after its establishment in 2001. Since then, the AK Party has consolidated its position and of no doubt has become one of the biggest and the strongest parties in the history of Turkish politics. On the other hand the European policy of Turkey is a subject that still attracts considerable attention, even at the moment when it is no longer considered as privileged central axis of Turkish foreign policy and do not exists as before in the agenda of the AK Party. Indeed, since the negotiations with the EU have been initiated with the AK Party, this subject attracts much more attention and has become an interesting topic to analyze because the leaders of the AK Party came from the tradition of the `National Vision`. By reading of the party and more specifically by analyzing its EU policy, we sought to understand the meaning of the EU and the role it has played and still plays in the existence of the party. By conducting first a comparison between European policies of the political parties of the National Vision and the AK Party, our goal is to understand the positioning of the AK Party in the Turkish political system. Then, by analyzing the EU vision of the party during elections and referendums, we have noted the evolution of European policies of the party during each of those election periods and also the evolution of the level of interaction between two parties. Meanwhile, we tried to understand role of the EU within the scope of the foreign policies of the party. Even though the European policies were considered to be stable elements for the AK Party and Turkish political history, their importance and or intensity has evolved over time. For our study, we decided the EU as an invariable actor, and elections as well as time as variable elements. Therefore, this doctoral dissertation aims to show the position of the AK Party vis à vis the EU, the evolution of the importance of the EU for the latter since its creation in 2001 and lastly to analyze the European policies of the AK Party

Abstract:
L’objectif de ce travail fut d’améliorer la modélisation et la simulation de la polymérisation radicalaire dans des réacteurs continus et discontinus. Une solution analytique explicite généralisée (AS) fut obtenue dans le cas de la polymérisation en masse/solution, homogène et isotherme menée dans un réacteur fermé de volume variable. Les différentes étapes considérées furent l'initiation, la propagation, le transfert au monomère, au solvant, à un agent de transfert de chaîne, la terminaison par combinaison et dismutation. Différents modèles rendant compte des effets de gel, de vitrification et de cage ont également été considérés. AS a été validée avec succès par comparaison avec des solutions numériques et des données expérimentales de la littérature. Par ailleurs, AS a été étendue à des conditions pour lesquelles elle ne fut pas originellement développée comme par exemple des conditions non isothermes. La polyvalence et la flexibilité de AS sur l’ensemble de l’échelle de conversion du monomère furent ainsi démontrées. Ensuite, pour élargir encore plus son champ d'application, AS fut utilisée dans des simulations numériques (CFD). Une nouvelle transformation très simple a été proposée afin d’adimensionnaliser les constantes cinétiques en terme de concentration. Cela a permis de rentrer dans les simulations les données chimiques sous leur forme originale en mole et de faciliter ainsi le codage et le débogage du code de calcul. Cette transformation a ensuite été utilisée pour évaluer trois géométries tubulaires de microréacteur, un réacteur tubulaire droit (STR), à géométrie hélicoïdale (CTR) et à inversion de flux (CFIR), dans des conditions d'alimentation différentes (fluides d’entrée non ou parfaitement mélangés) et à de très faibles nombres de Reynolds (<1). La modélisation a été réalisée avec des paramètres constants ou variables des propriétés physiques du fluide sous écoulement (densité, viscosité et conductivité thermique) ainsi qu’en variant de manière discrète les coefficients de diffusion. Leurs effets sur les résultats de simulation ont été observés et comparés avec les données expérimentales publiées pour 4 monomères différents et furent en très bon accord. Les résultats pour le cas d’un mélange parfait furent indépendants de la géométrie des microréacteurs. Le CFIR semble être le réacteur le plus prometteur puisque, dans les conditions de microréaction étudiées, il a permis le meilleur contrôle des caractéristiques du polymère synthétisé
This thesis aimed at improving the modeling and simulation of free radical polymerization (FRP) in batch as well as in flow reactors. A generalized explicit analytical solution (AS) was obtained in case of variable volume, bulk/solution polymerization, homogeneous and isothermal batch reactor. The reaction steps included initiation, propagation, transfer to monomer, transfer to solvent, transfer to chain transfer agent (CTA), termination by combination and disproportionation. Different models of gel, glass and cage effects were also implemented explicitly. AS was validated against numerical solutions as well as published experimental data and was found in good agreement. Furthermore, its applicability was extended to conditions for which AS was not derived, i.e. non-isothermal conditions. The versatility and flexibility of AS over the complete range of monomer conversion were thus demonstrated. Then, to broaden its applications range even more, AS was used in CFD simulations. A new and simple transformation was proposed to make kinetic rate coefficients dimensionless in terms of concentration. This enabled chemical data to be fed in molar form to CFD modeling. It also enabled easy coding and debugging by keeping the original form of generation terms intact. The results were found to be improved after validation against experimental data. This transformation was then used for evaluating three tubula microreactor geometries, namely straight tube reactor (STR), coiled tube reactor (CTR) and coil flow inverter reactor (CFIR), under different feed conditions (unmixed or perfectly mixed) at very low Reynolds numbers (<1). The modeling for FRP was performed with constant or variable fluid physical parameters (density, viscosity and thermal conductivity) along with discrete variation of diffusion coefficients. Their effects on simulation results were observed and compared with published experimental data for 4 different monomers and were found to match perfectly. Results for mixed feed condition were found to be independent of microreactor geometry. CFIR seems to be the most promising reactor design under microreaction investigated conditions as it allowed the best control over polymer characteristics

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to compare the ideas Ziya Gö
kalp and Yusuf Akç
ura on Turkism. Nationalism emerged in the 18th century in Western Europe has been a real force in world politics for the last two centuries. Naturally, towards the end of the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire with many different ethnic groups within its borders was influenced by Western nationalist movements. Analyzing Turkish nationalism, it is seen that from the late 18th century to the announcement of the Second Constitution in 1908, Turkish nationalism went parallel to the modernization attempts of the Ottoman reformers. The Ottoman bureaucrats considered modernity as a goal to overcome the difficulties of the Ottoman Empire. Ottomanism and Islamism were the sub-ideologies of the state, which were essential for its survival. However, after the Balkan wars, Turkism became popular among ottoman intellectuals. Both Gö
kalp and Akç
ura played a leading role in the direction of Turkish nationalism during the transition from a multi-ethnic Ottoman Empire to a secular and modern Turkish nation-state. Additionally, after the foundation of the Turkish nation-state, they shaped the content of the reforms of the new state with their nationalist way of thinking. In this respect, they served as the intellectual sources of Turkish nationalism. The main purpose of this thesis is to offer an analytical framework for understanding the peculiarities of Gö
kalp and Akç
ura&rsquo
s nationalist thoughts during the late Ottoman and early Republican periods. In this context, this thesis examines the ideas of the two scholars on a comparative basis and aims to reveal the differences and similarities in their ideas.

Abstract:
Malgré le poids considérable des structures internes des organisations partisanes dans la structuration du champ politique turc, l’analyse sociologique de celles-ci reste un terrain assez délaissé dans l’étude des partis turcs. La scène politique turque des années deux mille a été marquée par la prédominance de deux partis : d’une part, le Parti de la justice et du développement (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AK Parti) qui a remporté les élections de 3 novembre 2002 en obtenant 34,28% des voix juste un an après sa fondation ; et d’autre part, le Parti républicain du peuple (Cumulatrice Halk Partisi, CHP) – le premier parti politique de la période républicaine refondé en 1992 par Deniz Baykal – qui a réussi à siéger de nouveau à la Grande Assemblée nationale de Turquie (Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi, TBMM) avec 19, 39% des suffrages exprimés. Contrairement au nombre limité des recherches universitaires, les développements récents concernant les dynamiques internes des partis, tant au niveau national que local, font souvent l’objet d’articles des journalistes spécialisés sur les partis ou même apparaissent à la une de la presse nationale notamment en période de congrès ou d’élections législatives ou locales. Dans cette perspective, nous proposons de faire une analyse sociologique, d’une manière comparative, des organisations partisanes de l’AK Parti et du CHP pour mettre en perspective les modes de gouvernement des partis politiques en Turquie. Afin de procéder à une telle étude, il nous semble nécessaire de prendre en compte certains éléments historiques et constitutifs du phénomène partisan en Turquie. Nous proposons de faire le point sur ces éléments par l’intermédiaire d’un état des lieux des travaux sur les partis turcs à travers une mise en perspective théorique

Abstract:
Despite the considerable progress in cancer research which has been translated into better cancer care and decreased overall mortality rates in the last decade for numerous cancers, colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and leukaemia remain still one of the commonest malignancies worldwide. The compounds with improved anti-cancer activity that circumvent limitations of conventional chemotherapeutic agents are urgently searched. Artesunate (ART) and dihydroartemisinin (DHA) are the most active compounds of all semisynthetic derivatives of artemisinin (a natural extract of the Chinase plant, Artemisia annua L.) that have been proven to exert potent anti-cancer activity in vitro, in vivo and under human clinical trials. ART and DHA contain a labile ring system, an endoperoxide bridge, which reductive cleavage by iron is a necessary prerequisite in their cytotoxicity. With ample evidence showing that the cytotoxicity of ART and DHA against cancer cells is linked with targeting a number of cellular proteins promoting tumorigenesis, the aim of this study was to provide additional molecular basis of ART and DHA activities in CRC HT-29-AK and leukaemia HL-60 cells in vitro. Since the interior of most solid tumours are hypoxic (~1% O2), which has implications for cancer metastasis and resistance to anti-cancer agents clinically, the anti-cancer effects of ART and DHA were performed under laboratory standard normoxic condition (20% O2) and low oxygen tension (1% O2), which mimics the tumour microenvironment. With reported ability of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid; ASA) to enhance the cytotoxicity of other anti-cancer agents, we postulated that ASA would equally enhance the cytotoxic effects of ART and DHA. The mechanistic basis of this interaction was evaluated in cultured HT-29-AK and HL-60 cells in normoxia (20% O2) and hypoxia (1% O2). This study shows that ART and DHA treatment of HT-29-AK and HL-60 cells in normoxia effectively inhibited the growth of both cell lines and this inhibition was affected by oxygen availability. Upon combination, ART and DHA with ASA could reverse decreased susceptibility of HT-29-AK cells under hypoxic conditions to ART and DHA alone. In conclusion, these data illustrate the importance of modeling the tumour microenvironment when developing novel therapeutic drug applications. We also show that ART and DHA co-treated with ASA might be effective combination regimen to enhance efficacy of chemotherapy in cancer cells. Given the broad spectrum of mediators involved in ART and DHA anti-cancer effects (alone and in combination with ASA), further studies are required to validate our observations and translate them into significance for cancer therapy.

Full text
Abstract:
Für die Entstehung nicht-melanozytärer Hauttumore sind mehrere Risikofaktoren verantwortlich: UV-Exposition, Pigmentierung, Alter, Immunsuppression und möglicherweise Humane Papillomviren (HPV). Die molekularen Mechanismen der Tumorgenese des kutanen Plattenepithelkarzinoms (SCC) sowie der Präkanzerose Aktinische Keratose (AK) sind nur lückenhaft bekannt. Fokus dieser Arbeit ist die Untersuchung von SCC-Genexpressionsprofilen sowie der Einfluss kutaner HPV-Typen während der Karzinogenese bei immunkompetenten und immunsupprimierten, organtransplantierten Patienten. Durch Genexpressionsanalyse kutaner SCC, AK und normaler Haut konnten 118 differenziell exprimierte Gene in SCC mittels cDNA-Microarrays identifiziert werden. Bestätigt wurde die Expression von 11 aus 13 ausgewählten Genen (85%) mittels quantitativer real-time RT-PCR (qPCR), dabei konnte eine Korrelation der Genexpression mit der Progression der AK zum SCC für 3 Gene nachgewiesen werden. Dazu zählen das Gen Metalloproteinase-1, kodierend für ein Enzym, das in den Umbau von extrazellulärer Matrix involviert ist, das Protoonkogen RAB31 und das Tenascin-C (Tn-C) kodierende Gen Tn-C. Tn-C war im SCC-Gewebe an der Invasionsfront in Basalzellen sowie Keratinozyten im Stratum papillare und retikulare als Protein nachweisbar, nicht aber in normaler Haut. Die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit erstmalig nachgewiesene 2243 bp-Spleißvariante von Tn-C könnte aufgrund der primären Expression in SCC–Gewebe als diagnostischer Marker für SCC dienen. Diese Daten zeigen, dass simultane, multifaktorielle Dysregulationen von Genexpression und DNA-Reparatur, Zellzyklus und Proliferation, proteolytischen Enzymen und Adhäsionsmolekülen in SCC vorliegen. Ferner wurde die Expression von HPV in SCC und damit der kausale Zusammenhang einer HPV-Infektion mit der Hauttumorgenese untersucht. Das Infektionsmuster von SCC-Gewebe und normaler Haut mit spezifischen HPV-Typen erfolgte durch den Nachweis typenspezifischer HPV-DNA. Virale E6/E7-mRNA-Transkripte der kutanen HPV-Typen 8, 9 und 15 wurden in AK und SCC nachgewiesen. Dagegen konnten in HPV-DNA positiver, gesunder Haut oder Warzen keine HPV-Transkripte gefunden werden. Die Variantenanalyse des offenen Leserahmens von E6 identifizierte eine einzelne, bislang nicht beschriebene Punktmutation mit nicht bekannter Veränderung der Proteinstruktur. Die virale Aktivität der Onkogene E6 und E7 einiger kutaner Typen in AK und SCC weisen auf eine mögliche Rolle von HPV bei der kutanen Hautkarzinogenese hin.
During development of non-melanoma skin cancer, several risk factors are involved: UV-exposition, pigmentation, age, and potentially human papilloma virus (HPV). The molecular mechanisms underlying tumourgenesis in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and its pre-cancerosis actinic keratosis (AK) are not fully understood. In this study, the gene expression profile and HPV-infection status were analysed in SCC from immunocompetent and organ transplanted, immunocompromised patients.By global transcriptome analysis from cutaneous SCC, AK and healthy skin, 118 genes were identified differentially expressed in a cDNA-microarray. The expression of 11 out of 13 selected genes (85%) was investigated by real-time RT-PCR (qPCR) and the expression of three genes remarkably induced in SCC correlated with the progression to AK until SCC. These genes encoded for Metalloproteinase-1, which is involved in the remodelling of extracellular matrix, and the protooncogene RAB31 and Tenascin-C (Tn-C). Tn-C protein is expressed in SCC-tissue at the invasion front in basal cells and in keratinocytes in the Stratum papillare and retikulare, but not in healthy skin. This study, the 2243 bp Tn-C-specific splice-variant has for the first time detected in SCC, but not in normal skin. Thus it might serve as diagnostic marker of SCC progression. The data of the transcriptome analysis indicates that a simultaneous dysregulation of oncogene expression and DNA-repair, cell-cycle and proliferation, proteolysis and adhesion molecules exists in SCC. Additionally, the expression of HPV in SCC and thus the causal relationship between HPV-infection and tumourgenesis of SCC in immunocompromised patients was investigated. The HPV-infection pattern in SCC-tissue and normal skin was assessed by detection of DNA from cutaneous HPV-types. Viral E6/E7-mRNA-transcripts of the cutaneous HPV-types 8, 9, 15 were expressed selectively in AK and SCC. In contrast, no HPV-specific mRNA was present in HPV-DNA positive normal skin. The analysis of the open reading frame from the respective E6-protein genes unravelled one single pointmutation, which is not been characterized so far in terms of e.g. its impact on protein structure. The viral activity of the oncogenes E6 and E7 of cutaneous HPV-types indicates a potential function of HPV in the tumourgenesis of SCC in immunocompromised individuals.
