ECG variability, as it relates to the influence of the autonomic nervous system on the heart, is primarily studied via frequency-domain and time-domain analysis of heart rate variability (HRV). HRV studies the variability of the RR intervals in the ECG; these intervals are modulated by the autonomic influence on the periodicity of the the heart's pacemaker, the sino-atrial node. The autonomic influence at this level is dominated by the parasympathetic nervous system. In order to have a robust assessment of autonomic balance, there is a need for an ECG-based approach to assess the influence of the sympathetic nervous system. In this thesis, using spectral analysis, we quantify the variability of the QT interval, which is primarily modulated by the sympathetic nervous system. We also estimate the time constant of the sympathetic nervous system by least-squares fitting of the QT time series resulting from step perturbations in autonomic balance. This study is carried out on graded head-up tilt test data. Our results demonstrate the potential of QT interval variability as a non-invasive assessment of the sympathetic nervous system activity on the heart.

Full textDesde os primeiros meses da presidência de Lula da Silva, o Brasil adotou uma postura mais assertiva em sua política externa. Artigos e livros recentes têm enfatizado um aspecto de mudança na estratégia de inserção externa do país durante os dois mandatos de Lula: a autonomia desempenhou um papel central na configuração dos interesses Brasileiros em relações internacionais. O capítulo 1 desta dissertação revisa a literatura sobre política externa brasileira naquele período, levando em consideração as seguintes dimensões: a) o conceito de autonomia; b) o retorno do grupo autonomista ao Itamaraty e a erosão do monopólio desse ministério em assuntos de política externa; c) os nexos entre liderança regional e uma postura mais autônoma em política internacional. O objetivo do capítulo 2 é fazer uma análise da política externa brasileira durante os anos do Presidente Lula (2003-2010) e está dividido em duas partes, além da introdução e da conclusão. Na primeira seção eu inicialmente discuto os conceitos de potência média e de autonomia, e em seguida traço um panorama da política externa do Brasil no período. Na segunda seção é feita uma análise da busca do país por autonomia, enfatizando o aspecto de mudança nas posturas diplomáticas durante os anos 2007-2010. Argumenta-se que mudanças de ajuste e de programa ocorreram nesse período e também discutem-se desafios estruturais que afetam o Brasil hoje.

The characteristics of the foreign exchange market operation under the floating exchange-rate regime impose to the domestic monetary policies an external constraint which the central banks meet some difficulties to manage ; under fixed exchange-rate regime, the interdependence between the monetary policies is of a different nature and may be @profitable, as put forward by the experience of the european monetary system

Full textOur research work brings together sociology of institutional change, studies of administrative work and studies of environmental policies. Drawing on a six years ethnographical study, we document the daily activities of directors of national parks (i.e. middle managers in French administration) in charge of implementing in new law to reform this nature conservation policy. We address the issue of reformer’s autonomy. We demonstrate empirically, then theoretically, that national parks, and more generally nature conservation policies, features high institutional inertia. Then we argue that, even in a context including strong constraints, reformers have autonomy. Yet autonomy is never pre-given nor can be taken for granted. It closely depends on reformers’ daily practices. Reformers need to build and to maintain their autonomy. Certain stages in institutional change linked to the implementation of the reform are critical to achieve this : the beginning of the reform process and then short periods when reformers can work to ensure that the dynamics of the reform process itself depart strongly from the usual inertia mechanisms of the public policy. Thus, the management of the reform process, more than its substance, is at the heart of the building of reformers’ autonomy and opens up a space for institutional innovation. We document the practical modalities of reformers’ work of interpretation, of composition and of modeling which contribute to the fact that ongoing action is increasingly being considered through the lens of the recent collective experience (since the beginning of the reform) rather than through the lens of the distant history on which institutional inertia is based

Full textThe objective of this research was to investigate the relationships between the political change and the access policy changes in Madagascar since independence. In this study qualitative and quantitative data were used. The qualitative research consisted of eleven in-depth interviews and the collection of policy documents from 1960 to 2008. Open-ended questionnaires were utilized to collect data and to achieve the objectives of the research. Policy documents were analyzed to identify government policy changes. The main findings from the research showed that access policy changed with each major change in political leadership. Four major political periods and four respective main access policy changes were identified from 1960 to 2008. Higher education policy in general changed when there was a major change in presidential leadership. The main conclusions of this study were that access policy changes were the result of major changes in presidential leadership and that in spite of rhetoric to the contrary, universities did not have the autonomy to resist changes in access policy because of the top-down state system and the institutional financial dependence on the national government.

Full textAbstract This is a qualitative research by means of focus group discussions which brought together eight participants. The purpose of this study is to examine about Physical Education teachers’ experience concerning supportive environments that are considered necessary for stimulating autonomy so that physical activity, from a lifelong perspective, can take place. The research takes place in a Tanzanian context and is linked to Sweden based on the subject so as to enable a mutual learning. While termed as Idrott och Hälsa in Sweden, this school subject is called Physical Education in Tanzania, abbreviated to PE. The collected data were categorized with the emphasis upon their implication (i.e. their core meaning) and the results were then linked with the cognitive orientation to development. The cognitive orientation to development is made of two standpoints which are cognitive development perspective and Lev Vygotsky’s cultural-historical development perspective. The results showed that, PE teachers believe that personal elements, resources element and PE curriculum are essential prerequisites for stimulating the autonomy as regards to lifelong physical activity. It also turned out that the environment elements and the role of teachers are fundamental. The study also showed that both the students' motivation and personal characteristics, as well as their physical, social, cultural and historical environments, affect their behavioral change.

Full textThe autonomy of the scientific field, understood as its ability to set itself its internal composition, its norms and its objects, is the result of compromises between two antagonistic forces : on the one hand, the inscription of scientific and technical development in a certain social context that provides it with the resources it needs and that tends to put it under the dependence of objectives foreign to the scientific community ; on the other hand, a defense of scientific autonomy as a political and epistemological necessity. The emergence of a need for the control of scientific progress, and the raise of the dependence of research to market economy, seems to result in the relative downturn of this call for autonomy.In that context, the current modifications in the way scientific research is governed raise epistemological questions : which degree of autonomy should we grant the scientific field, and individual researchers, in order to optimize the knowledge production ? How should we organize scientific research so that the limitations of its autonomy have positive epistemological effects ? In this thesis, we adopt a properly philosophical perspective on issues often studied by economists and specialists of science policy management, most notably that of the best ways of funding scientific disciplines, communities, or individual researchers.First, we carry out an analysis of the arguments elaborated to defend scientific autonomy and freedom of research as an epistemological requirement. We then rebuild on this basis two pro-autonomy theses that should be taken seriously into account, for the criticisms generally leveled against them are not sound. The ''liberal thesis'' claims that individual freedom promotes epistemic productivity by motivating creativity, anticonformism, and the diversification of the problems, questions and objects under study. The ''anti-utilitarian'' thesis distinguishes between fundamental and applied science and argues for the epistemological superiority of a research exclusively dedicated to cognitive problems.We then propose a critical analysis of these two theses. Against the promotion of science as an exploratory activity, we propose, justify and renew the pragmatist perspective on inquiry, drawing on case studies and contemporaneous works linked to the practical turn. We conclude that a laissez-faire principle does not optimize epistemic fecundity.We then deal with the anti-utilitarian thesis. We first criticize the distinction between fundamental and applied science as introducing a gap among scientific practices according to the goals they pursue. We propose to forgo this opposition in favor of a different one, between endogenous problems (emerging in the course of scientific practices), and exogenous problems (identified outside the scientific field).By considering the history of molecular biology, we show the constitutive permeability of the research process to exogenous problems, we give some details about the mechanisms of these interactions in the case of complex objects, and we show how this permeability is positive.Finally, we give these epistemological analysis a practical turn, by trying to infer from them some conditions that would fit with the properties of the research process we previously identified. We begin by showing that the principles guiding current scheme of governance of public research do not satisfy the epistemic constraints we propose to take into account. Against the excessively centralized selection of projects by way of peer-review processes, on the one hand, and in opposition to the differentiation of the funding sources between objects or types of research on the other hand, we propose a decentralized and participative funding scheme, reflecting the diversity of practices and the local convergence of interests

After a careful evaluatation of my students, my principal investigator and I decided that students with difficulties in higher learning will be chosen, in this case, the first year of High School students in the three cities Jaboticabal, Monte Alto and Pontal. The math content to be worked upon was chosen from the assessment of difficulty students had learning first and second degree functions, as well as the importance the subject has when applied to other disciplines, such as Physics. To facilitate learning of these subjects, four activity sheets were composed to help improve text comprehension and reasoning, and consequently subject knowledge in such a way that the student builds the foundation concepts as to derive the affine and quadratic functions. Interactive exercises of multiple difficulties were prepared to inspire curiosity between students when solving problems. The exercises were designed to allow the students as much autonomy to finding solutions. The students were expected to develop: regularity identification, table-algebraic-graphic conversions, develop a problem situation without a previous explanation; relationship with the concept of affine function, justifying its proportionality; relationship with the concept of quadratic function; graphic analysis of quadratic functions; maximums and minimums; problems treatments on numeric fields and assay for algebraic fields; enthusiasm developing the activities; participation on activities discussion; the ability developing a problem situation with connection to different contexts; that the student had as much autonomy as possible on exercises solution; that the students build strategies and knowledge, given structure and organization to their thoughts, reaching a higher level of abstraction. Students were organized into pairs and encouraged to discuss while working on the activity sheet and review with each other in other classes the methods employed to solve the problems before the solutions were provided.
Após observar, estudar e avaliar o desenvolvimento do corpo discente para o qual leciono, meu orientador e eu decidimos que as turmas “escolhidas” para a aplicação do trabalho seriam as que apresentavam maior dificuldade de aprendizagem, no caso, o primeiro ano do Ensino Médio e ocorreria em três cidades: Jaboticabal, Monte Alto e Pontal. O conteúdo matemático escolhido para ser trabalhado surgiu das dificuldades destes estudantes com o tema funções afim e quadrática, bem como da importância destes temas quando aplicados na disciplina de Física, por exemplo. Nas escolas em questão, o conteúdo de função afim e função quadrática é revisto no terceiro ano do Ensino Médio e é notório que a dificuldade persiste. Para tentar facilitar e colaborar com o ensino desse conteúdo, foram confeccionadas quatro Folhas de Atividades para trabalhar a interpretação de texto, o raciocínio e, por consequência, o conhecimento sobre o assunto, de modo que o estudante construísse o conceito de função afim e função quadrática. Foram preparadas atividades de níveis fácil e médio que exigissem uma boa interpretação de texto, que despertassem a curiosidade e proporcionassem, durante a resolução, a interação entre os estudantes, dos quais se esperava: identificar regularidades; converter dados tabulares algébricos em gráficos, desenvolver uma situação problema sem explicação anterior; relacionar situações com o conceito de função afim, usando proporcionalidade; relacionar situações com o conceito de função quadrática; analisar graficamente a função quadrática; usar máximos e mínimos; tratar os problemas no campo numérico e fazer alguns ensaios no campo algébrico; ter entusiasmo no desenvolvimento da atividade; participar na discussão da atividade; procurar desenvolver a situação problema com ligação a diferentes contextos; ter autonomia na resolução dos exercícios; criar estratégias e construir conhecimento, dando estrutura e ordem aos seus pensamentos, chegando a atingir um nível de abstração mais elevado. Tudo foi observado na ação da maioria dos estudantes. Organizaram-se em duplas para a resolução das Folhas de Atividades e debateram as dúvidas durante a resolução. Antes mesmo que comentasse sobre os resultados, em uma próxima aula, eles já comentavam entre si o método que cada um havia utilizado e em qual resultado haviam chegado.

These conditions which occurred between the relations type-nature, type-machine and type-city have a common point in that type was seen as a principle, to explain the architectural attitude in a particular period. And in these periodical conditions it can be said that type has, actually, a visual (in Leandro Madrazo&

In addition, it is actually said that the visual aspect of type appeared in the sense how its non-visual aspect is re-constructed. Moreover, within its double-nature (in Leandro Madrazo&

s terms) type seems to have a potential and power for its transformation towards a key for reading the architectural process in a re-constructed continuity. And because of this re-construction it is possible to follow the continuity of architectural knowledge, which designates the changing boundaries of the architectural discipline and gives the means for a tendency to define it as autonomous.

Technological advances have brought about a revolution in education. The advantages resulting from the distance learning, temporal ruptures and spacers have been established as key factors for professionals who seek an online course, an alternative to the continuity of their education. Moreover, following this movement, there is a major challenge in the permanence and completion of these courses by individuals. The purpose of this research was to study about the phenomenon of giving up by analyzing the messages of the course participants leavers of Contemporary Reading and Writing Practices offered online for learning supervisors, technical-pedagogical assistants (ATPs), coordinators and teachers of Secondary and High Schools of the São Paulo, Brazil, state school system. The theoretical lens that guided this study was divided into three parts: the first one related to the processes of Reculturing , Restructuring and Retiming proposed by Fullan (1996.1997); the second one related to the development of autonomy and processes of change from studies of Freire (1996), Nicolaides (2003), Sprenger (2004), Benson (2006, 2007, 2008, 2011) and Collins (2008); and the third one related to the question of time as a problematizing factor. Through a qualitative analysis of messages, it was possible to observe what conflicts in Reculturing, Restructuring and Retiming put themselves as providers of the phenomenon of giving up and the connections between these processes, the development of autonomy and the time factor. It was also possible, through these links, to map a set of conceptions of what would to study online: which postures are more appropriate, structural requirements which must be fulfilled, which the modes of interaction are more effective for each context, and more
Os avanços tecnológicos têm propiciado uma revolução no campo educacional. As facilidades advindas do ensino a distância , as rupturas temporais e distanciais têm se consolidado como fatores decisivos pelos profissionais que procuram, num curso online, uma alternativa para a continuidade de sua formação. Por outro lado, acompanhando esse movimento, nota-se um desafio muito grande na permanência e conclusão desses cursos pelos indivíduos. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo um estudo sobre o fenômeno da desistência através da análise das mensagens de participantes desistentes do curso Práticas de Leitura e Escrita na Contemporaneidade, oferecido na modalidade online para supervisores de ensino, assistentes técnico-pedagógicos (ATPs), professores-cordenadores (PCs) e professores do Ensino Fundamental II e Ensino Médio da rede pública estadual de São Paulo. A lente teórica que orientou este trabalho foi divida em três partes: a primeira em relação aos processos de Reculturação, Reestruturação e Reorganização Temporal propostos por Fullan (1996,1997); a segunda em relação ao desenvolvimento da autonomia e os processos de mudança a partir dos estudos de Freire (1996), Nicolaides (2003), Sprenger (2004), Benson (2006, 2007, 2008, 2011) e Collins (2008); e a terceira em relação à questão do tempo como fator problematizador. Através de uma análise qualitativa das mensagens, foi possível verificar que conflitos nos processos de Reculturação, Reestruturação e Reorganização Temporal colocam-se como propiciadores do fenômeno da desistência e quais as ligações entre esses processos, o desenvolvimento da autonomia e o fator tempo. Foi possível também ,através dessas ligações, mapear um conjunto de concepções do que seria o estudar online: quais posturas são mais adequadas, quais necessidades estruturais devem ser atendidas, quais os modos de interação mais efetivos para cada contexto, entre outros

Full textSammanhang De senaste hundra åren har vi gett upphov till att bygga infrastruktur i en snabbare takt än någonsin tidigare. Samtidigt ökar kostnaderna för både arbetskraft och byggsektorer som väg- och bostadsbyggnader. Denna situation ger utrymme för autonoma maskiner. Utvecklingen av infrastruktur sker genom effektiva och produktiva konstruktionsmaskiner som successivt moderniseras för att forma samhället. För att öka utvecklingstakten moderniseras både bilar och industri för att möta en mer automatiserad vardag. Volvo Construction Equipment undersöker det autonoma fordonsutrymmet för nästa generations maskiner. Automationen kompletterar de nya maskinerna och fulländar det mänskliga arbetet med effektivitet, tillförlitlighet och hållbarhet. Det finns dock en fråga om relationen mellan mänskliga arbetare och autonoma maskiner, jag kommer i denna avhandling undersöka metoder för hur man kan utveckla tillit genom kommunikationssystem mellan arbetare och autonoma maskiner. Mål Att skapa rekommendationer och lösningar för produkter som bygger tillit mellan mänskliga och automatiserade maskiner på en byggarbetsplats. Metod Resultatet uppnås genom användandet av fallstudie forskning kombinerat med validerande lärande. Detta innebär lärdomar med hjälp av en iterativ process utav prototyper som testas och valideras. Resultat Resultatet utvärderar hur förtroende kan utvecklas mellan människor och autonoma maskiner på en byggarbetsplats. Hur kommunikationsmetoder mellan dessa parter skulle kunna genomföras samtidigt som hög effektivitet och säkerhet upprätthålls . Slutsats Lärandet i denna avhandling tyder på att förtroendet utvecklas över tid med tillförlitliga system som ger medarbetare uppdaterad nödvändig information tillgänglig när som helst. Resultaten kan införas i både dagens och framtidens anläggningsplatser på olika nivåer av avancerad teknik.

Full textThe issue of MATTE project is to propose an innovative process using perfectly controlled technologies for the production of structural composites high speed high performance with continuous fibers and thermoplastic resins (composites TPFC) or thermoset. This system is one of the techniques known as Heat & Cool, well known in the field of plastic injection. The aim of this technology is to extend these techniques to the field of structural composites. Compared to existing resources, this process will integrate in production: new monitoring functions, reduce energy consumption by about 80%, peripheral investments by 30% and to pursue a complete cycle time of less than 3 minutes. The similar method in the existing composite is the RTM, however, it is high energy consumption technology and do not allow high production rate. It is therefore the reference to quantify the performance of the MATTE technology

Full textDen mänskliga faktorn står för nio av tio utav alla trafikolyckor, och eftersom att allt fler fordon kommer ut på vägarna så leder det till att olycksantalet ökar. På grund av detta så har olika automatiserade funktioner applicerats i fordonet för att undvika den mänskliga faktorn i körningen. Denna utveckling har accelererat och fordon som ska kunna utföra hela det dynamiska framförandet utan mänsklig assistans har börjat utvecklas i olika projekt runt om i världen. Dock så har det autonoma fordonet många barriärer kvar att övervinna, för säkert framförande, varav en av dessa barriärer är fordonets förmåga att visuellt uppfatta omgivningen. Dels genom att något kan täcka kamerasensorerna men även att kunna omsätta det sensorerna uppfattar till något värdefullt för passageraren. Situationen skulle dock kunna förbättras om trådlös kommunikation gjordes tillgänglig för det autonoma fordonet. Istället för att försöka uppfatta omgivningen via kamerasensorer, skulle det autonoma fordonet kunna få den information som behövs via trådlös kommunikation, vilket är vad denna studie behandlade. Studien visade att trådlös kommunikation kommer att ha en betydelse för det autonoma fordonet i framtiden. Slutsatsen grundar sig på att trådlös kommunikation varit en lösning inom andra transportsystem som haft en liknande barriär som för det autonoma fordonet. Man planerar dessutom på att hantera det autonoma fordonets barriär via trådlös kommunikation i pilotprojekt i dagsläget
Altundas, Gulsemin. "Assessing industry emergence and structuration : an approach through interorganizational relationship networks around Key Technological Activities." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021LORR0002.
Full textThe present doctoral thesis aims to examine industry emergence caused by disruptive innovation. We adopted a dynamic approach to industry emergence to nourish debates around its assessment through a three-level funnel approach adopted: macro, network, and organizational levels. Based on a social network analysis of the Autonomous vehicles industry from 2011 to 2019, our findings allow us to assess the ex-ante emergence of an industry. The present thesis notably suggests an interesting way to measure industry emergence through interorganizational relationship networks building around Key Technological Activities required for the Autonomous vehicles industry to become a reality and to distinguish the emergence from the structuration of an industry

Full textMould bread, nasal discharge, gaping wounds, Cholera, dirty toilets, maggots, confrontation with corpses, sodomy and even murder – all these things have a potential disgusting character and rank among the most disgusting cues (Haidt et al. 1994; Rozin et al. 2000; Oaten et al. 2009). This has been evaluated in different studies with the help of theoretical questions, pictures, video clips, odours and sounds (Rozin et al. 1999; Vernet-Maury et al. 1999; Wright et al. 2004; Stevenson und James 2008; de Jong et al. 2011). However, only few studies concern disgusting sounds and to even lesser extend haptical impressions. It is one of the most challenging questions in emotion research, how to objectify them. In recent years several studies dealt with the problem of measuring patterns of autonomic responses towards emotions. Nevertheless whether there are emotion specific patterns is discussed controversially (Vernet-Maury et al. 1999; Cacioppo et al. 2000; Barrett 2006). Furthermore, there are again few studies dealing with sounds and haptical impressions (Kreibig 2010). Aim of the present study was to arouse a feeling of disgust through different sensory stimuli. 125 subjects were tested. Before measurement started all subjects were tested concerning restrictions of their sense perception. The participants were confronted with disgusting and neutral pictures, sounds, odours and haptical impressions. These stimuli were separated into three categories: spoiled food, sick person and feces. Additionally always one category was labeled and with a part of the subjects a repetition of measurement was realized. After presentation of each stimulus, participants rated the evoked basic emotion, valence and arousal. During all measurements, patterns of the ANS (heart rate, systolic blood pressure and skin conductance level) were recorded. The analysis based on the ratings, patterns of the ANS, sex and on the repetition measurements. The essential results were as follows: 1. All potential disgusting stimuli evoked a feeling of disgust. Additionally, sounds and haptical impression also evoked surprise. Visual stimuli were rated as most disgusting. Stimulation of different senses induced a different activation of the autonomic nervous system. In accordance with the current literature (Barrett 2006) a general disgust specific behavior could not be proofed. 2. Females felt more disgusted while watching related pictures. This is in line with previous studies (Rozin et al. 1999; Curtis et al. 2004). Furthermore, females showed partly a higher sympathetic activation if confronted with sounds odours and haptical stimuli. 3. The label enhanced feelings of disgust for haptical impressions and odours, only. The label led to a higher deceleration of systolic blood pressure after presentation of disgusting odours. This is in accordance to the previously described suggestibility in olfaction (Herz und von Clef 2001; Bensafi et al. 2007). It can be supposed that there is such an associative component for haptical impressions. 4. Concerning the repetitive measurements no habituation for sounds and odours was found, in contrast to pictures and haptical impressions. Autonomous measurements showed no sensitization. In conclusion, it is not possible to finally judge, whether there is a disgust specific behavior of patterns of ANS or not. This depends on several factors, including the senses disgust is evoked through. Also gender differences and repetitive measurement affect the feeling of disgust. All these aspects were considered in this study and were discussed controversially. This study does not raise the claim to completeness. However, it helps to clarify and classify the inconsistent results in literature by pointing out the relevance of the different sensory channels
Kassogue, Yada. "La migration féminine face aux mesures de restriction au pays dogon (Mali)." Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PSLEH205.
Full textIn the heart of West Africa, Mali is a country where migration has long been anchored in the practices of society. Like most areas of Mali, Dogon country experiences significant rural-to-urban migration. At the same time, women are restricted from migrating by local organizations and sanctions. The majority of researchers who have studied the Dogon have focused their attention on traditional culture and myths, to the detriment of social realities. Far from these stereotypes, the study of migration reveals local dynamics that are quite contemporary. In Dogon villages, seasonal migration was long seen as affecting only young men looking for temporary work. This classic form of migration has an impact on local social organization, especially for the manpower crisis it causes. The departure of young women, however, leads to a transformation of social norms. This thesis shows that the search for the marriage trousseau, which had long been the cause of internal female migration in Mali, is being joined by other ambitions. Women seize the opportunity to migrate in order to gain benefits or freedoms, which improve their daily lives and their marital life. Men cite the harmful consequences of this migration to justify local control of women's movement. State and nongovernmental organizations’ efforts to limit migration largely fail and are underpinned by similar arguments. This control is maintained in the villages despite the existence of institutional management of population migrations. Through ethnographic research at the origins and destinations of young women from Dogon country, this research examines generational changes from a gender perspective to illuminate the social stakes of female migration. Analyzing men’s fears of a transformation of the principles and procedures of marriage alliances, it highlights women’s strategies, illuminating the forms of resistance and empowerment that migration allows
