Full textAbstract:
Romanerna som ligger till grund för uppsatsens analys är Thomas Bailey Aldrich The story of a bad boy, Mark Twains Tom Sawyers och Huckleberry Finn samt Richmal Cromptons Just William. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka de litterära gestalter som tar sig skepnad i företeelsen "bad boys" och de frågor som ställs i uppsatsen är: Hur och varför uppkom företeelsen "bad boys"? Hur växte genren "bad boys" fram? Vad karaktäriserar "bad boys" företeelsen? Uppsatsens narratologiska utgångspunkter bygger bland annat på Mieke Bals teori om fabelns och de textanalytiska begrepp som Maria Nikolajeva redogör för: tid och plats, författarens och läsarens föreställning av författaren, samtid och tidsperspektiv. Uppsatsen tar även stöd i R.W. Connell, John Stephens och Kenneth B. Kidds teorier. Uppsatsen visar att "bad boys"-genren har sitt ursprung under en period då bilden av mannen var under förändring och romaner för pojkar blev allt mer robusta."Bad boys" – genren karaktäriseras av driftiga pojkgestalter som delvis formar sin identitet i pojkgänget. "Bad-boys"- genren är även en konsekvens av de ändrade förhållandena för unga pojkar i USA. Dessa pojkar sågs ofta som små vandaler och det är dessa som återspeglas i "bad-boys" genren.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines news representations of Canadian, American and Australian military personnel involved in military 'sex scandals'. I explore what the representations of military personnel involved in well-publicized sex scandals reveal about scripts of soldiering and militarized masculinities. Despite a history of systemic violence in the military, I ask how and why the systemic nature of militarized masculinities are able to remain invisible, driving representations to focus on the ‘bad’ behaviour of individuals? By engaging with feminist scholarship in International Relations, I present the longstanding culture of misogyny, racism, homophobia and ableism in the Canadian, American and Australian militaries, focusing on the ways in which militarized masculinities are guided by these violent structures, and fundamental to the military's creation of soldiers. My dissertation uses the tools of critical discourse analysis to unpack the ways blame is individualised in cases of sexual and racist violence involving military personnel, while the military’s ableism, rape culture and imperial militarized masculinities are commonly naturalized or celebrated without regard for how they are fundamentally violent. My thesis presents an intersectional feminist project that intervenes in emerging questions in the field of transnational disability studies, tracing how militarism, hegemonic militarized masculinities and imperial soldiering (re)produce categories of ability and disability.

Full textAbstract:
Individuals spend a majority of their lives in the organizational settings and the communication that occurs is detrimental to maintaining balance, while allotting for specific goals to be met. This goal of this thesis was to catalog supervisor misbehaviors with regard to frequency and valence and validate an adapted supervisor misbehavior measure. Additionally, misbehaviors have a relationship with power (prosocial/antisocial), organizational dissent, organizational orientations, supervisor credibility, and subordinate satisfaction. Participants (N = 258) responded to a questionnaire assessing their perceptions on misbehaviors of their current or most recent supervisor. Statistical analyses substantiated the adaptation of misbehaviors from the instructional to the organizational context. Supervisor misbehaviors had significant relationships with power (antisocial and prosocial), dissent (latent), organizational orientations (ambivalent), supervisor credibility (competence, goodwill, and trustworthiness), and subordinate satisfaction. Results are consistent with those found by Kearney et al., (1991) the seminal research on teacher misbehaviors. Despite compelling results, additional research is necessary to ascertain an exhausted supervisor misbehaviors typology and validate a corresponding measure.

Full textAbstract:
L'ordonnance de 1669, inspiree par colbert, marque le point de depart d'une nouvelle politique forestiere dans l'ensemble du royaume. Ce long texte fait suite a une periode debutee en 1661, au cours de laquelle a ete operee une remise en octobre des forets dependant du domaine royal. En bas-poitou, le roi ne possedera de forets que tardivement (1694). Pour repondre a cette situation nouvelle, une maitrise particuliere des eaux et forets sera creee a fontenay-le-comte, echelon local de l'administration forestiere. Elle fonctionnera sans interruption jusqu'en 1790. Les actions saillantes des officiers forestiers qui se succederont au sein de cette maitrise seront : la conservation de l'integralite des espaces boises appartenant au roi et aux ecclesiastiques, l'eviction de tous les intrus arguant d'un droit d'usage reel au suppose, la mise en ordre des peuplements dans le cadre d'une sylviculture orientee vers la production de bois de futaie. Le caractere contraignatn de l'ordonnance visera tous les possesseurs de bois, et fera peser sur les forestiers, prives de toute initiative et etroitement surveilles, le poids d'une veritable et pesante tutelle. Les forestiers deviendront au fil du temps des agents disciplines, des representants de la monarchie administrative du dix-huitieme siecle, des specialistes de la conservation d'espaces boises, plus que des hommes capable de repondre a une demande de bois requerant des traitements de peuplements complexes. Ceux-ci n'auront cours qu'au dix-neuvieme siecle lorsque seront inventes de nouveaux modes de gestion, appliques aux forets domaniales et a celles de communautes laiques et ecclesiastiquesThe ordinance of 1669, inspired by colbert, was the starting point of a new style as regards the management of the forestry which was to be applied within the whole kingdom. This long act brought to an end the period initiated in 1661 which was devoted to the complete reorganization of the administration of the woods and forests belonging to the king. In lover poitou the king became quite late the owner of some forests (1694). This new acquired position led him to establish there a maitrise particuliere, i. E. A local command of the forestry administration. Located at fontenay-le-comte it remained in function without any break until 1790. Within this local administration the officiers were given three main duties: the preservation of the entire wooded country owned by the king and the ecclesiastical communities; the eviction of all trespassers who were claiming common of estovers, either actual or alleged; the restoration of planting in order to aim sylviculture towards the production of timbers. . Foresters progressively became well disciplined commissioners who exactly threw back the administrative and bureaucratic monarchy of the 18th century. They were rather specialists in preserving wooded lands than men being able to satisfy a claim for timbers. Such a claim indeed made it necessary to rely on complex methods of planting which did not come into use before the 19th century. Where a new management style was made up and applied to the woods and forests belonging to the public domain and some other communities, either lay or ecclesiastical

Cette these essaie d'eclairer le commerce international des marchandises forestieres, qui occupaient aux 16e et 17e siecles une place fondamentale apres avoir choisi pour exemple konigsberg et amsterdam, nous avons d'abord fait le tour des informations quantifiables des echanges entre l'europe de l'est et l'ouest, et puis observe quelques cas de negociants importants. On a vu ici que le negoce des produits de bois de la baltique, en plein epanouissement a ce temps, est passe de plus en plus dans les mains des marchands hollandais qui ont developpe un systeme commercial vaste et sophistique. Nos recherches etaient encore amplifiees dans deux domaines: les besoins en occident, la construction navale par exemple, d'un cote, et l'approvisionnement depuis l'hinterland du port en prusse orientale, d'un autre, il est a noter que le commerce exterieur traduit, en meme temps que renforce, la differentiation economique entre les deux parties de l'europe: les pays occidentaux, a commencer par la hollande, qui connaissaient une expansion et les regions baltiques ou la corvee regnait et l'influence des agents etrangers etait forteThis thesis studies the international commerce of wood in the 16th and 17th centuries, one of the most important raw materials. Having chosen for example konigsberg and amsterdam. I examined the quantitative informations about the mouvements of wood between the eastern and western europe, and observed some concrete cases of great merchants. We can see that this commerce became gradually dominated by the dutch merchants who developped large and sophiscated commercial systems at this time. This study is enlarged in two directions: the demand of the west - building of ships for example - and the provision of the east. We can observe here that the international commerce was carried on the base of the economic difference and, at the same time. Enforced the differentiation between the two parts of europe: the dutch republic and the other western countries which were in the course of a considerable expansion, and the baltic regions which saw the corvee system continue and were under the strong influence of the foreign merchants

Full textAbstract:
Carbon (C) biogeochemical cycling studies in northern peatlands, in particular the production, consumption, storage and emission of C gases (CO2 and CH4) over space and time between different peatland landforms can help in understanding their current and future role in the global C cycle. In some peatlands, a distinct surface patterning of vegetation, interspersed with open water pools, controls the spatial and temporal variability in CO 2 and CH4 exchange to atmosphere. These open water pools initially develop from shallow, flooded hollows to deeper water bodies and at some point reach a limit in their depth. Observations link pool size to age and spatial location on the peatland surface and over time the proportional cover of pools increases, playing an important role in the long-term peatland C balance.The processes responsible for the production of CO2 and CH 4 in pools remain unexplored. In particular, the contribution of pools to the peatland C balance over the timeframe of the development of a pool complex is not explained and pools are not incorporated into current peatland models. A field study was carried out to examine the exchange of CO2 and CH4 from pools to atmosphere and to explore the spatial and temporal dynamics in CO2, CH4 and DOC storage in pools of different size and spatial location. This was undertaken to improve the understanding of the processes responsible for the generation of CO 2 and CH4 over the timescale of pool development. The empirical study was carried out during spring, summer and fall over two years in an ombrotrophic, raised bog, Quebec, Canada. A modelling component was carried out to examine the contribution of pools to the long-term peatland C balance.
Measurements of dissolved concentrations and emissions of CO2 and CH4 from pool surfaces to atmosphere were different among pools of different sizes and spatial location. Shallow pools had consistently higher emissions of both CO2 and CH4 and higher water column dissolved CO2 and DOC concentrations. Deeper pools had greater concentrations of sediment CH4. Dissolved organic carbon in pools was allochthonous, with a greater concentrations and proportion from higher plant materials in shallow pools, likely contributing to the observed water column CO2 concentrations and greater CO2 emissions.
All pools were supersaturated with dissolved CO2 and CH 4 at the time of sampling, with shallow pools up to eight times atmospheric equilibrium concentrations for CO2 and concentrations were up to one hundred times greater than CH4, comparable to findings in other global freshwater systems. Results suggest that greater decomposition is occurring in shallow pools due to warmer water and basal sediment temperatures and increased light penetration and dissolved oxygen (00) and that greater CH4 production and oxidation accounts for some of the differences reaching a limit at 0.7 m deep. Even though this range of pools are not as deep as pools found on other northern peatlands, the results provide evidence for the potential processes responsible for the generation of CO2 and CH4 emissions to atmosphere and demonstrate that pools have a significant role in the short and long-term peatland C balance. Modelling the hypothesised processes responsible for the generation of CO2 and CH4 shows that if sediment decomposition is the major source of these gases then the dynamical link between pool sediments, C gas production and pool growth has been demonstrated. Ultimately their role as source or sink is largely determined by their size (depth), the proportional cover on the landscape and their rates of C storage in sediments versus rates of C uptake and exchange.

Full textAbstract:
La propagation des ondes acoustiques dans le plasma primordial a laissé son empreinte sous la forme d'un pic dans la fonction de corrélation à deux points de la densité de matière. Ce pic d'oscillations acoustiques de baryons (BAO) constitue une échelle standard permettant de déterminer certains paramètres des différents modèles cosmologiques.Dans ce manuscrit de thèse, nous présentons une mise à jour de la mesure de BAO à un redshift z=2.40, à l'aide de la fonction de corrélation croisée entre deux traceurs des fluctuations primordiales de densité de matière: les quasars de SDSS-III (BOSS) et leurs fluctuations d'absorption du flux des forêts Lyman-α. Ces fluctuations tracent la distribution d'hydrogène neutre dans le milieu intergalactique (IGM).Cette étude constitue le premier développement d'un ajustement entièrement physique de la fonction de corrélation croisée; il prend notamment en compte la physique des quasars et la présence d'éléments plus lourds que l'hydrogène dans l'IGM. Nous y présentons également les premières simulations de notre analyse. Celles-ci nous permettent de valider l'ensemble de la procédure de mesure de l'échelle BAO.Cette étude mesure la distance de Hubble et la distance de diamètre angulaire avec respectivement une précision de 2% et 3% (intervalle à 1 σ). Nous combinons nos résultats avec d'autres mesures de BAO à des redshifts plus faibles et trouvons la densité de matière noire et d'énergie noire dans le cadre de deux différents modèles cosmologiques: ΛCDM et oΛCDMThe acoustic wave propagation in the primordial plasma left its imprint in the two-point correlation function of the matter density field. This baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) peak builds up a standard ladder allowing us to infer some parameters of the different cosmological models.In this thesis manuscript we present an update of the BAO measurement at a redshift z=2.40, from the cross-correlation function between two tracers of the primordial matter density fluctuations: quasars of SDSS-III (BOSS) and their Lyman-α-forest absorption fluctuations. These fluctuations trace the neutral hydrogen distribution in the intergalactic medium (IGM).This study gives the first developpment of the full physical fit of the cross-correlation. Among other effects, it takes into account quasar physics and the distribution of IGM elements heavier than hydrogen. We also present the first simulations of our analysis. They allow us to validate the overall data analysis leading to the BAO measurement.This study measures the Hubble distance and the angular diameter distance at the 2%$ and 3%$ precision level respectivelly (1 σ interval). We combine our results with other BAO measurements at lower redshifts and find the dark matter density and dark energy density in the framework of two different cosmological models: ΛCDM et oΛCDM

Full textAbstract:
Face aux mutations contemporaines des mondes ruraux, la compréhension de la capacité des sociétés rurales à se reproduire et à organiser leurs territoires est un enjeu crucial. Cette thèse d’ethnologie est intégrée aux travaux de recherche pluridisciplinaires d’un laboratoire d’écologie du paysage. Elle vise à mieux comprendre les dynamiques conjointes des sociétés et des territoires dans le Bas-Comminges, en Haute-Garonne. Les sociétés bas-commingeoises présentent des capacités à assimiler le changement et sont marquées par un système social spécifique, dit « à maison », qui a la particularité d’entraîner une stabilité des patrimoines fonciers. L’étude ethnographique de la transmission, des limites et de la composition des patrimoines depuis le début du 19ème siècle et l’intégration des données collectées dans un Système d’Information Géographique vont révéler le lien entre une organisation sociale et son territoire. Les résultats s’articulent en trois points. (1) Les patrimoines sont effectivement stables au cours des deux derniers siècles. La société étudiée présente une forte hiérarchie sociale. Le statut social est fondé sur la richesse foncière et le maintien de son patrimoine de génération en génération. (2) On constate que, pour les Bas-Commingeois, il est nécessaire de détenir mais aussi de cultiver la terre pour faire se perpétuer son statut. Leur objectif est de respecter un principe d’autonomie des propriétés et une diversité des pratiques et de l’occupation du sol. (3) Le maintien de sa place au sein de la hiérarchie passe aussi par une implication des acteurs locaux au sein des institutions du village. Le respect de ces principes a entraîné une permanence de l’organisation du territoire et une adaptation du système aux mutations du monde rural. Cette étude répond à des questions posées sur les dynamiques des espaces agricoles et forestiers et apporte une contribution dans la compréhension des capacités des mondes ruraux à se perpétuerFacing the contemporary changes of the rural worlds, the comprehension of the ability of the rural societies to reproduce and organize their territories is a crucial stake. This PhD in Ethnology is integrated into the pluri-disciplinary researches of a landscape ecology laboratory. The aims of the study are to understand the dynamics between societies and territories in rural societies of the Bas-Comminges, in Haute-Garonne (France). Those societies have the capacities to assimilate changes and are marked by the presence of a specific social system, known as “the house-centered system”, which characteristic is to involve the stability of the real estate. The ethnographic study of the inheritance, the limits and the composition of the real estate since the beginning of the 19th century and the integration of the data collected in a Geographical Information System will reveal the bond between a social organization and its territory. The results are articulated in three points. (1) The real estates are stable during the last 2 centuries. The studied society presents a strong social hierarchy. The social status is based on the land richness and its maintenance from generation to generation. (2) It is noted that it is necessary for the Bas-Commingeois to hold but also to cultivate the land to remain its statute. The objective of the owners is to respect a principle of autonomy of the properties and a diversity of the practices and cover of the land. (3) The maintenance of the status within the hierarchy also passes by an involvement of the Bas-Commingeois within the village’s institutions. The respect of these principles induces the permanence of the territory and an adaptation of the system to the changes of the rural world. This study answers questions about the dynamics of agricultural and forest spaces and contributes to a better understanding of the capacities of the rural worlds to survive

Full textAbstract:
Concevoir des robots avec des Matériaux Bio-Sourcés (MBS) dans le but d'écoconception n'a presque jamais été exploré dans le passé. L’objectif de cette thèse est de montrer qu’il est possible de réduire considérablement l’impact environnemental des robots industriels en remplaçant la grande majorité des matériaux métalliques / composites de carbone utilisés dans leur conception par des matériaux bio-sourcés à faible impact écologique. Le bois est l'un des meilleurs candidats en raison de ses propriétés mécaniques intéressantes. Cependant, les performances / dimensions du bois varient en fonction des conditions atmosphériques / sollicitations externes. Ainsi, cette thèse s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet RobEcolo dont le défi est de concevoir un robot industriel parallèle en bois rigide et précis. Afin d'assurer une performance optimale de robots en bois (en particulier la précision) et de minimiser l'incertitude des modèles MBS et les erreurs dues aux variations dimensionnelles en fonction des conditions atmosphériques, des capteurs extéroceptifs peuvent être utilisés pour commander le robot. Cependant, toute observation externe a un impact sur les performances du robot. Il est donc nécessaire d'optimiser la conception du robot par rapport aux critères de performance mécanique usuels mais aussi par rapport aux indices de performance issus de la définition de la commande par capteurs extéroceptifs. Ainsi, l'un des objectifs de ce manuscrit est de décrire une nouvelle approche de conception orientée commande. Cette approche permet de prendre en compte les performances du contrôleur dès la phase de conception du robot ce qui amènera à satisfaire la performance de précision lors de la commande de celui-ci, par la définition des paramètres géométriques primaires optimaux du robot. En effet, des modèles élastiques sont nécessaires aux étapes de conception et de contrôle et doivent être suffisamment précis pour fournir une estimation correcte des déformations et des fréquences propres du robot. De plus, ils doivent également être efficaces sur le plan de temps de calcul, car ils seront calculés des milliers de fois au cours du processus de la conception optimale, ou en temps réel dans la boucle de commande. Afin de répondre à ces exigences, nous proposons dans ce manuscrit une modification basée sur la théorie poutre d'Euler-Bernoulli qui est utilisée pour développer des modèles élastiques en bois simples et rapides capables de prédire un comportement réaliste des robots en bois en statique et en dynamique. Enfin, les développements théoriques proposés dans cette thèse ont permis le prototypage d'un mécanisme à cinq barres en bois et les performances du robot en termes de rigidité et de précision ont été validées expérimentalement sur le prototypeDesigning robots with bio-sourced materials (BSM) for eco-design purpose has almost never been explored in the past. This thesis investigates the potential of using bio-sourced materials, which have almost no environmental impact, instead of metals for robot design. Wood is one of the best candidates because of its interesting mechanical properties. However, wood performance / dimensions vary with the atmospheric conditions / external solicitations. Thus, this thesis is in the framework of the RobEcolo project whose challenging to design a stiff and accurate wooden industrial parallel robot. To ensure optimal performance of the wooden robot (specifically the accuracy) and in order to minimize the uncertainty of the BSM models and the errors due to the dimensional variations due to atmospheric conditions, exteroceptive sensors can be used to control the robot. In order to satisfy these requirements, we propose in this manuscript a modification of the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory which is used to develop accurate and fast wood elastic models able to predict the realistic robot static and dynamic behaviors. Finally, theoretical developments proposed in this thesis allowed the prototyping of an industrial wooden five-bar mechanism and the robot performance in term of safeness and accuracy has been validated experimentally on the prototype

Full textAbstract:
Les structures en bois sont une bonne solution pour la construction de bâtiments multiétages. Le bois est reconnu pour son aspect architectural, pour son empreinte écologique faible ainsi que pour sa résistance mécanique. L’ajout d’une mince couche de béton connectée à l’aide de connecteurs de cisaillement sur une pièce de bois lamellé-collé ou bien un CLT permet d’augmenter considérablement la rigidité du plancher. Il est donc possible de construire sur une plus longue portée tout en respectant les critères de flèche d’État Limite de Service (ELS) et de résistances aux États Limites Ultimes (ELU). Ces solutions innovantes sont aussi moins sensibles aux vibrations puisqu’elles sont plus rigides. Le confort des usagers est donc amélioré. Cette thèse se concentre sur le développement d’une connexion de type entaille peu profonde adaptée aux dalles composites. Cette connexion est conçue afin d’obtenir un comportement initial rigide, puis une grande ductilité. Ceci est possible en utilisant le caractère ductile en compression du bois. Plusieurs configurations sont testées dans le CLT et dans le bois lamellé-collé. La profondeur de l’entaille varie. L’influence de la présence d’un isolant acoustique entre le bois et le béton est aussi quantifiée. Les premiers tests de cisaillement sur les différentes configurations ont montré de très bons résultats et des dalles CLT-BHP ont été coulées pour une portée de 8 m. Les dalles de CLT-BHP ont été conçues selon une approche multicritère afin de respecter les normes du Code National du Bâtiment du Canada et de maximiser certains facteurs considérés importants par le milieu de la construction tels l’épaisseur du plancher, le poids du plancher, le coût, etc.Wooden structures are a good solution for building multi-story buildings. Wood is known for its architectural appearance, low footprint and mechanical strength. The addition of a thin layer of concrete connected using shear connectors to a piece of glued-laminated timber (GLULAM) or a Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) considerably increases the rigidity of the floor. It is therefore possible to build longer span in building while respecting the Serviceability Limit States (SLS) deflection criteria as well as the Ultimate Limit States (ULS) bearing capacity. These innovative solutions are also less sensitive to vibrations since they are more rigid. The comfort of users is improved. This thesis focuses on the development of a shallow notch type connection suitable for composite slabs. This connection is designed to obtain a rigid initial behavior, followed by a big ductility. This is possible by using the compressive ductile nature of the timber. Several configurations are tested in CLT and GLULAM. The depth of the cut varies from 20 mm to 35 mm. The influence of the presence of an acoustic insulation between the timber and the concrete is also quantified. The first shear tests on the different configurations showed very good results. Three 8 m single span CLT-HPC slabs were cast.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de thèse se sépare en deux volets. Le premier volet concerne l'étude de l'homogénéité de l'univers, et le second une mesure de l'échelle BAO, qui constitue une règle standard permettant de mesurer l'évolution du taux d'expansion de l'univers. Ces deux analyses reposent sur l'étude de la structuration (ou clustering) des quasars des relevés BOSS et eBOSS, qui couvrent la gamme en redshift 0,9 < z < 2,8. Les mesures des observables caractérisant la structuration de l'univers aux grandes échelles sont très sensibles aux effets systématiques, nous avons donc étudiés ces effets en profondeur. Nous avons mis en évidence que les sélections de cibles quasars BOSS et eBOSS ne sont pas parfaitement homogènes, et corrigé cet effet. Au final, la mesure de la fonction de corrélation des quasars nous a permis de mesurer le biais des quasars sur la gamme en redshift 0,9 < z < 2,8. Nous obtenons la mesure actuelle la plus précise du biais, b = 3,85 ± 0,11 dans la gamme 2,2 < z < 2,8 pour le relevé BOSS, et b = 2,44 ± 0,04 dans la gamme 0,9 < z < 2,2 pour le relevé eBOSS. Le Principe Cosmologique stipule que notre univers est isotrope et homogène à grande échelle. Il s'agit d'un des postulats de base de la cosmologie moderne. En étudiant la structuration à très grande échelle des quasars, nous avons prouvé l'isotropie spatiale de l'univers dans la gamme 0,9 < z < 2,8, indépendamment de toute hypothèse et cosmologie fiducielle. L'isotropie spatiale stipule que l'univers est isotrope dans chaque couche de redshift. En la combinant au principe de Copernic, qui stipule que nous ne nous situons pas à une position particulière dans l'univers, permet de prouver que notre univers est homogène aux grandes échelles. Nous avons effectué une mesure de la dimension de corrélation fractale de l'univers, D₂(r), en utilisant un nouvel estimateur, inspiré de l'estimateur de Landy-Szalay pour la fonction de corrélation. En corrigeant notre estimateur du biais des quasars, nous avons mesuré (3 - D₂(r)) = (6,0 ± 2,1) x 10⁻⁵ entre 250 h⁻¹ Mpc et 1200 h⁻¹ Mpc pour le relevé eBOSS, dans la gamme 0,9 < z < 2,2. Pour le relevé BOSS, nous obtenons (3 - D₂(r)) = (3,9 ± 2,1) x 10⁻⁵, dans la gamme 2,2 < z < 2,8. De plus, nous montrons que le modèle Lambda-CDM décrit très bien la transition d'un régime structuré vers un régime homogène. D’autre part, nous avons mesuré la position du pic BAO dans les fonctions de corrélation des quasars BOSS et eBOSS, détecté à 2,5 sigma dans les deux relevés. Si nous mesurons le paramètre α, qui correspond au rapport entre la position du pic mesuré et la position prédite par une cosmologie fiducielle (en utilisant les paramètres Planck 2013), nous mesurons α = 1,074 pour le relevé BOSS, et α = 1,009 pour le relevé eBOSS. Ces mesures, combinées uniquement à la mesure locale de H₀, nous permettent de contraindre l'espace des paramètres de modèles au-delà du Lambda-CDMThis work consists in two parts. The first one is a study of cosmic homogeneity, and the second one a measurement of the BAO scale, which provides a standard ruler that allows for a direct measurement of the expansion rate of the universe. These two analyses rely on the study of quasar clustering in the BOSS and eBOSS quasar samples, which cover the redshift range 0.9 < z < 2.8. On large scales, the measurement of statistical observables is very sensitive to systematic effects, so we deeply studied these effects. We found evidences that the target selections of BOSS and eBOSS quasars are not perfectly homogeneous, and we have corrected this effect. The measurement of the quasar correlation function provides the quasar bias in the redshift range 0.9 < z < 2.8. We obtain the most precise measurement of the quasar bias at high redshift, b = 3.85 ± 0.11, in the range 2.2 < z < 2.8 for the BOSS survey, and b = 2.44 ± 0.04 in the range 0.9 < z < 2.2 for the eBOSS survey. The Cosmological Principle states that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales. It is one of the basic assumptions of modern cosmology. By studying quasar clustering on large scales, we have proved ''spatial isotropy'', i.e. the fact that the universe is isotropic in each redshift bins. This has been done in the range 0.9 < z < 2.8 without any assumption or fiducial cosmology. If we combine spatial isotropy with the Copernican Principle, which states that we do not occupy a peculiar place in the universe, it is proved that the universe is homogeneous on large scales. We provide a measurement of the fractal correlation dimension of the universe, D₂(r), which is 3 for an homogeneous distribution, and we used a new estimator inspired from the Landy-Szalay estimator for the correlation function. If we correct our measurement for quasar bias, we obtain (3 - D₂(r)) = (6.0 ± 2.1) x 10⁻⁵ between 250 h⁻¹ Mpc and 1200 h⁻¹ Mpc for eBOSS, in the range 0.9 < z < 2.2. For BOSS, we obtain (3 - D₂(r)) = (3.9 ± 2.1) x 10⁻⁵, in the range 2.2 < z < 2.8. Moreover, we have shown that the Lambda-CDM model provide a very nice description of the transition from structures to homogeneity. We have also measured the position of the BAO peak in the BOSS and eBOSS quasar correlation functions, which yield a 2,5 sigma detection in both surveys. If we measure the α parameter, which corresponds to the ratio of the measured position of the peak to the predicted position in a fiducial cosmology (here Planck 2013), we measure α = 1.074 for BOSS, and α = 1.009 for eBOSS. These measurements, combined only with the local measurement of H₀, allows for constraints in parameter space for models beyond Lambda-CDM

L'expression de la douleur de la vierge marie est au centre des panneaux peints comme au centre des debats theologiques. Ses larmes, ses plaintes et sa pamoison sont exposees parallelement a sa compassion envers le christ mort. Elle est representee mere en deuil et coredemptrice. Les saintes femmes, myrrophores chargees des rites de deuil, saint jean soutenant la vierge, joseph d'arimathie et nicodeme aidant a l'inhumation, entourent le christ mort. Aux manifestations de deuil individuelles - larmes, lamentations, expressions des physionomies, regards - les peintres ajoutent une recherche sur les relations entre les personnages et sur leur distribution dans l'espace pictural. La structure de l'oeuvre et le travail effectue sur la composition des scenes revelent des procedes permettant d'aiguiser chez le spectateur une perception douloureuse de la passion. Deux types d'oeuvres dont les fonctions different sont mis en evidence : des images dogmatiques principalement commandees par des ecclesiastiques, des images de devotion le plus souvent issues de commanditaires laiques.

Mestrado em FinançasNeste estudo vai ser aprofundado o tema da eficiência dos mercados financeiros, testando essa eficiência na sua forma semiforte. Analisou-se, então, qual a eficácia da divulgação de factos relevantes por parte das empresas emitentes de acções cotadas admitidas à negociação no índice PSI20. Assim sendo, tentou-se determinar se a sua divulgação contém informação útil para o mercado, descobrir de que forma esta é incorporada no preço das acções e testar se há evidência empírica para concluir que há a possibilidade de alguém ter obtido rendibilidades consideradas anormais em torno do dia da divulgação dos factos relevantes escolhidos para o estudo. Para esse efeito, utilizou-se a metodologia clássica de estudos de acontecimentos (event studies). Através dela, foi testada a hipótese da eficiência semiforte do índice principal do mercado de acções português. Quanto à estrutura, começou-se por contextualizar este trabalho no tempo, apresentando um olhar sobre a conjuntura económica no período que escolhi para a análise (2008¬2010) e no período que o antecedeu. Após enquadrar a situação económica do mundo e feitos os alertas para uma fiscalização mais apertada nos mercados, apresenta-se o contexto legal do mercado português, encabeçado pela CMVM, no qual se fornecem dados sobre o dever de divulgação dos factos relevantes pelas sociedades cotadas. De seguida, foi feita uma revisão da literatura sobre o tema, procurando fazer a ponte entre os vários autores históricos que no século anterior se destacaram na análise da teoria da eficiência do mercado, mais especificamente no estudo de eventos, e os que estudaram e evoluíram o conceito já no século XXI. Quanto ao capítulo 4, dividiu-se em dois temas que podem enviesar a análise dos eventos: a análise técnica, utilizada pelos traders para negociar nos mercados financeiros, e as finanças comportamentais. Depois fez-se um breve resumo do mercado português e da constituição do PSI20. No capítulo 6, foi descrita a metodologia adoptada para o estudo, bem como a recolha dos dados. Assim, calculou-se a rendibilidade anormal (AR) que é a diferença entre a rendibilidade efectiva e a rendibilidade esperada. Os parâmetros desta última foram calculados pelo método dos mínimos quadrados (OLS). Depois calcularam-se a rendibilidade anormal média (AAR) e a rendibilidade anormal média acumulada (CAAR). Foi através destas que foram efectuados os testes à normalidade das rendibilidades para concluirmos se houve realmente evidência empírica que indicie a existência de rendibilidade anormal. Após essa descrição apresentam-se então, através dos testes descritos no capítulo anterior, os resultados empíricos. Foram igualmente apresentados os resultados dos testes efectuados por classificação dos eventos, divididos entre "Boas" e "Más" notícias, segundo as suas rendibilidades reais no dia 0. No capítulo final, foram tiradas conclusões sobre o trabalho efectuado e os resultados que este providenciou. As conclusões demonstram que o mercado português não é eficiente na sua forma semiforte.
This study discusses the subject of efficiency of financial markets, testing the efficiency in its semi-strong form. Then, we analyzed how effective is the disclosure of relevant facts reported by companies that belong to index PSI20. Therefore, we attempted to determine whether disclosure contains information useful to the market, find out how that is incorporated into the share price and test whether there is empirical evidence to conclude the possibility of someone have obtained abnormal returns around the day of relevant fact's disclosure chosen for the investigation. To test we used the classic methodology of event studies. Through that, we tested the hypothesis of semi-strong efficiency of main index Portuguese stock market. At the first chapter, we began to contextualize this work in time, presenting a look at the economic situation in the period chosen for analysis (from 1st January 2008 to 31th December 2010) and the period that preceded it. After framing world's economic situation and made the alerts for a stricter monitoring the markets, it presents the legal context of the Portuguese market, spearheaded by CMVM, where we provide data about the duty of disclosure relevant facts by listed companies at PSI20. Next, we performed a literature review about the market informational efficiency's theory, trying to bridge the gap between several historical scholars in the previous century who studied the subject of market efficiency, more specifically in the event studies, and those who have studied and developed the concept already at the 21th century. At chapter 4, we divide it into two issues that may skew the analysis of events: the technical analysis, used by traders at financial markets, and behavioral finance. Then, we did a brief summary of Portuguese market and the formation of PSI20. At chapter 6, we described the methodology adopted for the study and data collection. Thus, we calculated the abnormal return (AR) which is the subtraction between the actual return and expected return. About expected return, the parameters we calculated by the method of least squares (OLS). Then, we calculated the average abnormal return (AAR) and cumulative average abnormal return (CAAR). It was through AAR and CAAR that we formulated the hypothesis of normality of returns in order to conclude if there was empirical evidence that indicates the existence of abnormal returns. After that description is then presented the empirical results of the tests described in the previous chapter. We also presented results of tests according to the categorization of announcement, "Good news" and "Bad news", based on the day 0's rate of return. The final chapter reveals the conclusions and the results provided. The findings show us that the Portuguese market is not efficient in its semi-strong form.

Full textAbstract:
L’histoire des sites légionnaires de l’Empire romain connaît aujourd’hui un important renouveau grâce aux nombreuses recherches réalisées en Europe. C’est dans ce cadre que s’insère ce travail qui explore la présence militaire romaine à Strasbourg-Argentorate, en examinant tout particulièrement le camp de la VIIIe légion selon une perspective à la fois archéologique et historique. Cette étude se fonde sur l’analyse des sources littéraires et épigraphiques, l’interprétation de la documentation publiée et sur les résultats issus de deux récentes fouilles préventives (« Grenier d’Abondance » et « 4 rue Brûlée »). Elle révèle que l’occupation romaine débutant vers 15 ap. J.-C. coïncide en fait avec l’arrivée de la legio II Augusta dont la présence est attestée par plusieurs monuments funéraires. Entre 43 ap. J.-C. et l’arrivée de la legio VIII Augusta dans les années 90 ap. J.-C., Strasbourg n’est pas un lieu de garnison légionnaire, mais pourrait plutôt être celui de troupe(s) d’auxiliaires. Le camp de la VIIIe légion est d’abord protégé par un rempart en terre et en bois, avant d’être doté d’une enceinte en pierre (IIe s. ap. J.-C.) qui sera renforcée vers 300 ap. J.-C. Les baraquements dans le latus praetorii dextrum sont occupés jusqu’à la fin du premier quart du IVe s. ap. J.-C. Avec l’installation de civils à partir du deuxième tiers du IVe s. ap. J.-C., le camp légionnaire se transforme progressivement en site urbain fortifié qui inclut une présence militaire réduite jusqu’au début du Ve s. ap. J.-C. au moins. Ce travail permet de mieux connaître l’aspect du camp de la VIIIe légion et de réviser la chronologie de la présence militaire romaine de ce site rhénan majeurThe history of legionary sites in the Roman Empire is undergoing a significant revival today thanks to numerous research projects being conducted in Europe. Within this context, the present study explores the Roman military presence in Strasbourg - Argentorate, and more particularly the 8th Legion’s camp, from an archaeological and historical viewpoint. This study is based on the analysis of literary and epigraphic sources, on the interpretation of published documentation and on the results of two recent rescue excavations (“Grenier d’Abondance” and “4 rue Brûlée”). It shows that the Roman occupation, beginning around 15 AD, coincides with the arrival of the legio II Augusta whose presence is attested by several funerary monuments. Between 43 AD and the settlement of the legio VIII Augusta around 90 AD, Strasbourg was not a legionary garrison, but mostly one of auxiliary troops. In its early form, the camp of the 8th Legion was protected by an earth rampart with layers of timber before being superimposed with the first stone defensive circuit around the mid-2nd century AD; that wall was reinforced around 300 AD. The barracks in the latus praetorii dextrum remained occupied until the end of the first quarter of 4th century AD. With the settlement of civilians from the second third of 4th century AD, the legionary camp gradually turned into an urban fortified site with a limited military presence, at least until the beginning of 5th century AD. This study provides detailed insight into aspects of the 8th Legion’s camp and reviews the chronology of the Roman military presence of this major Rhineland site

Full textAbstract:
abstract: An integral part of the avant-garde movement in 1920s Paris, the American composer George Antheil collaborated with writers Ezra Pound and James Joyce, violinist Olga Rudge, and befriended the likes of Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, and many others. In Paris, Antheil found great success as the provocateur of riots and scandal at his concerts, with a purposefully controversial compositional style. This document explores, in detail, his three violin sonatas composed between 1923 and 1924 at the behest of Ezra Pound for his violinist friend Rudge. The violin sonatas provide a fascinating perspective on Antheil's musical and personal life during his first years in Paris. The historical and personal contexts of the sonatas are examined, in addition to their musical repercussions for Antheil's compositional style. This document relies primarily on unpublished letters, writings and other memorabilia from collections held at The Library of Congress, New York Public Library, Columbia University, Princeton University, Yale University, and Indiana University. Antheil's published scores and autobiography, Linda Whitesitt's biography of Antheil and other literature pertaining to the period and person are also consulted. While a fair amount has been written on Antheil's more famous work Ballet Mécanique, which stylistically followed the violin sonatas, the lesser-known sonatas have received minimal attention or exploration. This document places these three works into their rightful context, as cornerstones of Antheil's musical style during his most avant-garde years in Paris.Dissertation/Thesis

“A boy should behave like a boy!” What exactly makes one “look like a boy?” Being masculine, overbearing, and adventurous? Is taking care of children a responsibility of men or women? There are widely varying answers to these issues concerning gender roles. The Japanese manga “Baby and Me” is a heart-warming comic work. The author uses Takuya Enoki’s stories about experiencing growth through taking the role of his mother who dies in a sudden to express the touching brotherly love. This study selected “Baby and Me” as the text for research. Through an exploration of the family, friendship, courtship, and social relationship of multiple boys in the text, it aimed to investigate how boy images are presented in this text and the implications of these boy images. Besides, it also discussed how a manga text could provide educational meanings to the society from the perspective of literature. This study used the views of psychology and sociology to analyze the boy images in “Baby and Me”. Results showed that boy images would vary across different contexts and for different relationships. From these boy images, it could be inferred that the author believed that men could also undertake the responsibilities of nurturing children; involvement in caring children and helping with housework could facilitate the growth of female consciousness in boys; and readers of this manga could reflect on the complication, contradictions, and helplessness of the adult world from the perspective of children. In this manga text, serious issues are discussed in humorous ways, suggesting that literature can really provide different views to help the society examine the existing concepts about gender roles. Therefore, manga texts also have the function of educating the society.

During the years of 2008 to 2011, I applied my personal experiences and daily life as the basis of my inspiration. My concept involves the thinking process of individualism versus system, beauty and the grotesque, obedient and the mischievous, righteous and the malicious plus the reflection of positive and negative aspects of my everyday life, including the dream of my futural goals. I hope to develop my own artistic values using the very same logic and research within this thesis. Being an outgoing and spontaneous person, I dislike monotonous studying; this resulted in extra discipline from my teachers during my childhood, which created my personal resentment against authority, and ultimately drove me to challenge it. These personal experiences I faced during my life which has influenced me to become critical of orthodox values and my work reflects my views against such traditionalism. In my creative process, I apply satire to critique the values of beauty and the grotesque, obedient and the mischievous, righteous and the malicious, as well as values of our society. I hope using the process of writing, in which I can compile an understanding and even a personal connection towards my creative thought process. The following article is broken down into the following. Introduction: Research and development. Chapter one：Literature review. Chapter two：Applied practice via mixed media on my connections with subcultures. Chapter three：Thought process on my creations, dissecting my creative thinking and emotions while in creative practice. Conclusion：Ideas and concerns on my present and future art practice.

Cette étude vise à identifier les effets des changements climatiques sur les activités de subsistance traditionnelles des chasseurs cris de la Baie-James. De nombreuses études se penchent sur les changements climatiques, mais relativement peu d’entre elles traitent de leurs effets socio-économiques et socioculturels sur les populations dans le Subarctique du Québec.
Cette thèse explore les mécanismes d’intégration des connaissances scientifiques au savoir écologique traditionnel (SET) ; une intégration prônée par de nombreux chercheurs comme l’évolution souhaitable dans la recherche sur le SET et sur ses applications. L’étude de cette intégration se fait ici à l’aide d’une analyse des perceptions des chasseurs de l’Association des Trappeurs Cris concernant les effets des changements climatiques, avec l’accent sur les activités de subsistance traditionnelles en lien avec la bernache du Canada et le caribou des bois, deux espèces importantes culturellement. Une approche combinant l’aspect théorique de l’ethnoécologie et l’aspect pratique de l’étude de cas a été utilisée. Diverses sources de données ont été employées : l’analyse documentaire et cartographique, les questionnaires et les entrevues ouvertes et semi-dirigées.
Cette recherche met en évidence des variations dans l’observation des changements climatiques et dans la perception de leurs effets par les chasseurs cris selon la localisation de leur communauté. Certains effets sont ressentis de la même façon par tous. Ainsi, les participants de toutes les communautés s’inquiètent des dangers liés à une fragilité accrue de la glace sur les lacs et les rivières. Cependant, ce sont surtout les membres des communautés côtières qui s’alarment du déplacement des bernaches vers l’intérieur du territoire. Ils sont aussi les seuls à ne pas percevoir de baisse du nombre de caribous des bois sur leurs lignes de trappe. Les effets des changements climatiques paraissent avoir un impact sur le mode de vie traditionnel cri en lien avec la bernache du Canada et le caribou des bois et affecter la transmission du savoir traditionnel vers les nouvelles générations quant au caribou des bois.
Les résultats montrent aussi que la combinaison du SET et des données scientifiques permet de compléter le portrait de l’évolution du climat et des espèces (par ex. : variation du climat entre la côte et l’intérieur du territoire, apparition du cerf de Virginie et du coyote sur le territoire) et d’élaborer de nouvelles pistes de recherches et des hypothèses qui n’auraient pas été autrement identifiées (par ex. : causes d’un changement dans la structure de la gla ce, évolution des aires de répartition des sous-espèces de bernaches, impact des insectes suceurs-piqueurs sur la santé des caribous). Elle facilite également l’identification et la compréhension des enjeux et des processus d’adaptation qui ont lieu dans les communautés cries de la Baie-James (par ex. : diminution de la consommation du caribou, maintien de la consommation de la bernache, dangers accrus dans les déplacements liés à la fragilité de la glace ou à la difficulté à prévoir les schèmes climatiques). L’utilisation combinée du SET et du savoir scientifique permet de mieux appréhender les effets des changements climatiques et les dynamiques socioculturelles et environnementales complexes du territoire de la Baie-James.This thesis intends to identify the effects of climate change as it relates to the traditional activities of the Eastern James Bay Cree. Numerous studies have analysed climate change, however relatively few have studied its socioeconomic and socio-cultural effects on the subarctic populations of Quebec as does this one. Exploring the integration mechanisms between scientific knowledge and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), this combination of knowledge being presented by many researchers as the next step in TEK research, this thesis utilizes the various perceptions that the hunters of the Cree Trappers Association have of the impacts of climate change. Emphasis was placed on their traditional activities in connection with the Canada goose and the woodland caribou, two culturally important species The study uses an approach combining the theoretical aspects of ethnoecology with the practical aspects of case studies. Various methods of data collection were used: literary and cartography reviews, questionnaires and long and short interviews. The research demonstrates a variation in Cree observations of climate change and in their perceptions of the effects of these changes based on the location of the community in the James Bay region. Certain effects are perceived in all communities, for instance participants from all communities worried about the dangers associated with an increased fragility of the ice formed on lakes and rivers. However, it was primarily members of the coastal communities who worried over the Canada geese moving further inland. Members of the coastal communities were also the only ones to not notice a reduction in the numbers of woodland caribou on their traplines. Climate change seems to have an impact on the Cree’s traditional way of life associated with the Canada goose and woodland caribou and to affect the transmission of their traditional knowledge to the newer generations as it pertains to the woodland caribou. Also highlighted is the fact that a combination of TEK and scientific data allows for a broader picture of climate and species evolution (e.g.: climate variations between the coast and the interior of the territory, presence of white-tailed deers and coyotes on the territory) and suggests new research questions and hypothesis (e.g.: causes for a change in the ice structure, evolution in the range and distribution of Canada geese subspecies, impact of bloodsucking insects on caribou health). It also allows for a better identification and understanding of the stakes and adaptation processes currently going on in Eastern James Bay communities (e.g.: decrease in caribou consumption, maintenance of geese consumption, increased dangers during travel due to an increase in ice fragility or in unusual climatic events). The combined use of TEK and scientific knowledge allows for a better understanding of the effects of climate change and the complex sociocultural and environmental dynamics at play in the Eastern James Bay.

Full textAbstract:
Job quality has been a subject of growing interest by the international institutions and academics in the last two decades. Economic crisis and increasing supply of graduates renewed the debate about the benefits of investments in higher education and the working conditions of young highly skilled people. This dissertation draws on European Union Labour Force Survey data from the year 2014 and examines the job quality of the PhDs holders in Portugal. It should be noted that literature on PhD graduates jobs is scarce, so this research attempts to fill this gap in the literature. The jobs were examined through a fuzzy clustering analysis, which enabled us to identify typologies of PhDs jobs. The empirical results pointed to three fuzzy clusters and show that one type of job comprises foreign young women with precarious and part-time jobs, who are overqualified and unsatisfied since are looking for another job. Another cluster aggregates senior PhD holders with high-wages, stability and good work-life balance. Finally, the third typology differs from the latter since PhD graduates seem to find it difficult to balance personal life and professional responsibilities. The findings corroborate previous research in that young people are facing increasing difficulties in the labour market; this affects also highly skilled young people.A qualidade do emprego tem sido objeto de crescente interesse por parte das instituições internacionais e de académicos nas últimas duas décadas. A crise económica e o aumento da oferta de graduados reavivaram o debate sobre os benefícios do investimento no ensino superior e as condições de trabalho dos jovens altamente qualificados. Esta dissertação baseia-se nos dados do "European Union Labour Force Survey" a partir do ano de 2014 e examina a qualidade de emprego dos doutorados em Portugal. Deve notar-se que a literatura sobre os empregos dos doutorados é escassa, procurando esta pesquisa preencher essa lacuna na literatura. Os empregos foram examinados por meio de uma análise de "cluster", que nos permitiu identificar tipologias de emprego dos doutorados. Os resultados empíricos apontaram para a existência de três "clusters" e mostram que um tipo de emprego abrange mulheres jovens estrangeiras com empregos precários e de "part-time", com excesso de qualificações e insatisfeitas uma vez que procuram outro emprego. Outro grupo agrega doutorados mais velhos com salários altos, estabilidade e bom equilíbrio entre vida profissional e pessoal. Finalmente, a terceira tipologia difere da última, pois os doutorados parecem ter dificuldade em encontrar equilíbrio entre a vida pessoal e as responsabilidades profissionais. Os resultados corroboram pesquisas anteriores, em que os jovens enfrentam crescentes dificuldades no mercado de trabalho; isso afeta também os jovens altamente qualificados.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)During the early Cold War, 1949 through 1963, the federal government, through such agencies as the Federal Civil Defense Administration (FCDA) (1950-1957), the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization (OCDM) (1958-1960), and the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) (1961-1963), regarded children and young adults as essential to American civil defense. Youth-oriented, voluntary organizations, including the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA), assisted the federal civil defense programs by promoting civil defense messages and agendas. In this thesis, I will explore how the GSUSA and BSA translated federal civil defense policies for their Scouts. What were the civil defense messages transmitted to Scouts during the early Cold War? How were those messages disseminated? Why? What was the social impact of BSA and GSUSA involvement with civil defense on America’s evolving national ideals?
