Animal welfare is the name of a tension between the production of norms and the production of knowledge. Through the study of the interactions between science, politics and factory farming, this dissertation sheds light on the concrete operators of non-human exploitation, conceptualized as a power system (dispositif). To write the history of battery cages from the early 20th century to the 1980s, I go through a wide range of unpublished archives, hubs between science and its world (institutional archives, technical reports, scientific publications, masscirculation newspapers, legal texts, patents, industrial regulations). I describe the constitution of animal welfare disciplines, i.e. their history, the elements and relationships that make them up, and the rules that govern them. I question the distinction between norm, knowledge and commodities production : they work together as operators of animal exploitation, but could possibly act as counterweights against it

Le déclin actuel du dîner formel est en train de créer des nouveaux secteurs de marché autant qu'une forte croissance dans le marché des collations. La vie modern occupée, avec ses dîners devant le bureau et ses nuits devant l'ordinateur, est devenue propice à la consommation des collations. Ces collations malsaines contiennent des sucres et du gras et sont considérées comme de la « malbouffe ». En revanche, si ces mêmes aliments étaient supplémentés ou enrichis avec des éléments nutritifs bien équilibrés, nous pourrions jouir d'une vie saine avec plus de bénéfices pour la santé et une meilleure satisfaction du consommateur. De tels enrichissements peuvent être obtenus en enrichissant ces aliments naturellement avec des protéines, de la fibre et des antioxydants. Ma recherche de thèse vise à améliorer la valeur des barres aux fruits aux pommes en y ajoutant des protéines de soya, de la fibre d'orange et du concentré de jus de raisin.Le processus expérimental inclut le séchage (pour produire une pâte de fruits) et l'extrusion du fruit pour obtenir une barre aux fruits aux pommes. Le produit est ensuite enrichi avec de la fibre (0 à 10 %), des antioxydants (0 à 10 %) et des protéines (0 à 20 %). L'analyse nutritionnelle des barres aux fruits est basée sur la teneur totale en antioxydants, en protéines et en humidité, autant que sur la couleur (Hunter L*a*b*), la dureté, la composition phénolique et la qualité sensorielle. L'activité de l'eau suggère que les barres aux fruits produites ainsi seront munies d'une durée de conservation adéquate. Les résultats de l'analyse spectrophotométrique donnèrent des résultats comparables et fortement corrélés (p < 0,05). Les barres aux fruits enrichies avec des éléments nutritifs peuvent donc être des aliments fonctionnels qui offrent une bonne source de protéines, d'antioxydants et de polyphénols.

La déshydratation osmotique à l'aide des micro-ondes (MWOD) est une nouvelle technique avec un bon potentiel pour plus d'efficacité de séchage osmotique des fruits et légumes. Il combine le chauffage micro-onde avec la déshydratation osmotique pour améliorer le taux de transfert de l'humidité dans le procédé de déshydratation osmotique et la qualité du produit. Des études préliminaires ont été effectuées pour comparer la cinétique de déshydratation osmotique des cylindres de pommes (Rouge Gala) à déshydratation osmotique sous conditions de flux continu de pulvérisation (MWODS) avec déshydratation osmotique à l'aide des micro-ondes sous flux continu d'immersion (MWODI), ainsi que séchage osmotique le conventionnel (COD) en mode d'immersion (CODI) et en mode de pulvérisation (CODS). Les résultats ont montré que le processus de MWODS a considérablement amélioré le taux de transfert d'humidité à partir du fruit et a limité le gain des solides en même temps. Dans la deuxième partie, le modèle d'Azuara à deux paramètres et le modèle de diffusion classique ont été évalués pour décrire la cinétique de transfert de masse des cylindres de la pomme (Rouge Gala) pendant MWODS, MWODI, COD et CODI. Les résultats ont montré que les deux modèles décrivent adéquatement la cinétique transitoire de transfert de masse pendant le processus d'OD, mais le modèle Azuara était supérieur. MWODS a aussi été étudié pour évaluer l'effet des différentes variables de processus (concentration en saccharose, la température du moyen, le taux de flux et le temps de contact) en utilisant la méthodologie de surface de réponse et la décomposition rotative du programme global. Les modèles prédictifs ont été développés pour relier les variables de réponse aux paramètres du procédé. Enfin, des études d'optimisation ont été menées pour élucider les conditions optimales de transformation sous MWODS. L'étude a démontré que la perte d'humidité (ML), les gains de solides (SG) et les pertes de poids (WR) ont été plus prévisibles à des concentrations de saccharose, températures de moyen, temps de contact et taux de flux plus élevés. Une deuxième étape de séchage a été évaluée employant l'air de séchage conventionnel par rapport à la lyophilisation pour identifier les systèmes efficaces pouvant préserver la qualité des fruits osmotiquement déshydratés. L'effet du prétraitement du MWODS sur la cinétique du séchage à l'air et l'effet des paramètres de qualité (couleur, texture, et caractéristiques de réhydratation) des cylindres de pomme (Rouge Gala) ont été évalués. Les résultats ont révélé que le temps de séchage diminue avec l'augmentation des concentrations et de la température du moyen du traitement MWODS. Par rapport aux échantillons témoins non traités, les MWODS échantillons séchés à l'air était ont un coefficient de diffusivité de l'humidité (Dm) plus entée. En termes de paramètres de qualité, le processus de MWODS avec séchage à l'air arrive à un produit avec un changement de couleur inférieur et une structure plus tendre. Le produit séché à l'air sans MWODS avait les caractéristiques de qualité le moins souhaitable. Bien que la couleur a été mieux préservé dans le produit lyophilisé, le produit était beaucoup plus fragile que le produit MWODS avec séchage à l'air. La capacité de réhydratation des produits de MWODS séchés à l'air est supérieure de celle des produits séchés à l'air et celle des produits lyophilisés.En général, cette recherche contribue à une meilleure compréhension du comportement de transfert d'humidité à micro-ondes pendant la déshydratation osmotique sous flux continu du moyen avec de la pulvérisation. Avec une deuxième simple étape du séchage à l'air, le processus peut produire des produits de pomme avec une haute qualité.

O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever a minha formação e aptidões adquiridas ao longo do meu percurso profissional, e como estas contribuíram para o desenvolvimento das minhas competências, as quais me permitem requerer o grau de Mestre. Após concluir o meu curso de 5 anos letivos em 2005 fui trabalhar como Engenheira Agrónoma para a empresa Jardim Vista SA. Posteriormente fui para o Reino Unido onde trabalhei como Técnica de Laboratório/Assistente de Laboratório durante 9 anos. Em Setembro de 2016 comecei a trabalhar como técnica de laboratório na Universidade do Algarve. Mais recentemente, em Abril de 2017 integrei a equipa da Syngenta em Moncarapacho como Senior Grower e Quality Management Designate. No Reino Unido, fui colaboradora de vários projetos científicos, os quais estavam maioritariamente relacionados com a área da biologia molecular. Considerando que durante estes 9 anos fiz parte de projetos que abordavam temas completamente diferentes, decidi abordar algumas das técnicas de biologia molecular que aprendi ao longo destes anos e que também são usadas na área da Agricultura Molecular e Melhoramento de Plantas. Com o nível de população a aumentar e o impacto das alterações climáticas, a necessidade de produzir plantas sem elementos patogénicos e destas serem mais produtivas e atingir elevadas produções, e eventualmente apresentarem resistência a herbicidas, assim como a produção de proteínas de interesse específico (Agricultura Molecular) também aumentou. O melhoramento de plantas em conjunto com a Biotecnologia têm um papel extremamente importante na compreensão e na descodificação da informação do DNA associado a estas necessidades, pois através da manipulação genética é possível alterar o genoma das plantas de modo a satisfazer as exigências atuais. Com o estudo do genoma das plantas é possível perceber e manipular as características que pretendemos alterar e melhorar. “Molecular farming” produz proteínas, péptidos e pequenas moléculas bastante valiosas, resultado dos estudos de melhoramento de plantas acoplado aos progressos na área da biotecnologia. Algumas das técnicas utilizadas em biotecnologia descritas nesta tese são a extração de DNA, o PCR, o colony PCR, a eletroforese, a transformação genética, a expressão proteíca, SDS-PAGE e Western Blot. Estas técnicas permitem-nos estudar métodos mais eficazes de melhorar as plantas para que a agricultura esteja melhor preparada para os desafios atuais e futuros. Palavras-chave: Biologia molecular, biotecnologia, agricultura, melhoramento de plantas, agricultura molecular.

Over the past few years, scientific issues such as global warming, ecological destruction, food safety issues, and digital technology, among others, have consistently dominated news headlines and received intense scrutiny. A lack of scientific knowledge is the reason why many such issues have been misunderstood and maligned. Therefore, raising the awareness and practical scientific literacy of the general population is at present an important topic. “Popular Science” not only lays the foundations for national development but is also the catalyst for general social advancement. The proliferation of popular science education is the objective of science communication and media, and the works created in this study aim to effectively accomplish this through limited available resources. Science communication can be generally categorized into popular science and science education. This study utilizes the outstanding forms of expression brought about by animation to convey scientific knowledge to users, and also creates a popular science mass communication platform through the internet and new media channels. With mobile phones or tablet PCs, information can be accessed in real-time, anywhere and anytime. This is undoubtedly the best medium for the proliferation of science knowledge, not to mention the fact that the internet is an inexpensive and convenient mode of information transmission and sharing. Science is intimately connected and intertwined with daily life, so scientific knowledge should be something that is relevant and easily understood, instead of hard-to-understand and unattainable. The researchers in this study compiled 9 different presentable forms of computer graphics that conform to animation design principles as prescribed in previous studies, and with it created a new media short film. Popular science topics in this study are derived from news reports that are highly relevant to the general population. Through interviews with scientific professionals in relevant fields for the topic in question, the researchers created an animated content to supplement hard-to-understand scientific issues and concepts, or to replace real-life footage that would have been difficult and costly to film or reproduce. The highlight of new media popular science short film created for this study is the utilization of computer graphics, results of which can be considered a new page for popular science short films in Taiwan. Through the use of interesting, lively and vivid animations to attract the attention of viewers, scientific knowledge and information can be spread and learned with enhanced effect. This will allow for the better understanding and appreciation of science to ultimately realize the popularization of science by the general population.

Abstract With the rapid development of high-tech digitized, we enter an era of up-to-dated all the time. New information and concepts are spreading through the computer and internet portable device. New media is becoming the major way to gain living intelligence, new information, communication and entertainment. In response to this new media trend, NSC introduce new digital media popular science film production program in regard to the innovation and development on agriculture, environmental protection, ecology, applied science, digital learning, art and other five areas. By the production team were planning to produce five sections of science and digital video, uploaded on the Internet, so that the audience can carry through a computer or network device to enjoy, to easily absorb popular science knowledge. The researcher is responsible for editing the soundtrack in this digital video production project. The report will be produced based on the principles of four music editor integrated from the literature review and production purpose. There are five short movies with total eleven soundtracks editing process which from the pre-production's preparation and planning, the considerations and design during the production to the post-production's adjustment and test are detailed in the report. The report focuses on assisting swing smoothly communicate popular scientific knowledge and create a relaxed atmosphere, so that the audience willing to read popular science topics sustained attention. Another focus of this technical report is to assist non-professional music arranger with simple concepts and methods, the use of digital music technology to edit out the effect of a good movie soundtrack, so that more people willing to put in the ranks of musical creation. Due to the popularity of high-speed Internet and high-performance digital portable device, everyone can create their own audio-visual works, the creator of such investment was also found exponential growth. Although portable device can pick up the video, but the film soundtrack music was often considered to be non-professional and easy to make your own, it is not the case. This technical report attempts to basic concepts of computer music, editing and music theory integration implementations, methods and procedures to non-music professionals can perform to demonstrate, hoping to popularize the concept of digital music, so music can be the same as the image creation more easily.
