Full textHệ thống khoa học và giáo dục đại học Việt Nam đóng vai trò quan trọng trong sự phát triển kinh tế và xã hội của đất nước. Trong xu hướng giao thoa mạnh mẽ giữa các hệ thống giáo dục quốc tế, đóng góp của các nhà nghiên cứu ở Việt Nam cho cộng đồng khoa học quốc tế còn khiêm tốn. Trong những thập niên qua, hầu hết các hoạt động khoa học tập trung vào khoa học lý thuyết hơn là các lĩnh vực khoa học ứng dụng. Điều này đã được phản ánh qua tỷ lệ khá thấp các ấn phẩm quốc tế về khoa học thực nghiệm. Cùng với những nỗ lực của đất nước để sử dụng hiệu quả các nguồn tài nguyên thiên nhiên, một nhu cầu cấp bách đặt ra là tăng cường các hoạt động nghiên cứu về khoa học môi trường. Tạp chí Môi trường Việt Nam ra đời nhằm hưởng ứng sự quan tâm ngày một gia tăng trong nghiên cứu môi trường. Tạp chí được thành lập như một phần của mạng lưới học thuật được đề xuất bởi Trường Đại học Tổng hợp Kỹ Thuật Dresden trong khuôn khổ chương trình hợp tác Việt Nam - CHLB Đức về đào tạo và giáo dục. Với mối quan tâm đa ngành và đa dạng trong ấn phẩm, tạp chí chủ yếu mang tính học thuật, cơ hội gửi đăng bài viết mở rộng cho cả sinh viên, kỹ sư / cử nhân, nghiên cứu viên và các thành viên của Viện nghiên cứu và giáo dục, các cá nhân có mong muốn phổ biến kiến thức về quản lý môi trường ở Việt Nam

Full textAvian divers are confronted with a number of physiological challenges when foraging in cold water, especially at depth. Diving is believed to be particularly costly in cormorants (Phalacrocoracidae) because of their poor insulation and less efficient foot-propulsion. I used open-circuit respirometry to study the energetic requirements of two Phalacrocorax species, the European shag (P. Aristotelis) and the double-crested cormorant (P. Auritus) when diving in a shallow (1 m) and deep (10 m) dive tank. I also investigated the modifying effects of water temperature and feeding status on dive costs. My results indicate that the energetic costs during shallow diving in European shags and double-crested cormorants are comparable to other foot-propelled divers. Metabolic rate was significantly increased when diving to greater depth and at lower water temperatures, while feeding before diving increased metabolic rate, albeit not significantly. The strong effects of depth and water temperature on cormorant diving metabolic rate are most likely a consequence of their partially wettable plumage and their reduced plumage air volume, which makes them prone to heat loss and, hence, increases thermoregulatory costs. The energetic requirements of animals have to be satisfied by intake of resources from the environment. Hence, the quest for food is a central aspect of animal behavior. Although the study of seabird foraging behaviour has greatly profited from recent technological developments, we still know little about predator-prey interactions on a fine scale. I used an underwater video array to investigate the prey-capture behaviour of double-crested cormorants foraging on live rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). I tested the effects of a variety of factors on the underwater foraging behaviour of cormorants and established a functional link between prey density and cormorant prey capture rate. Prey density and behaviour both significantly affected predator performance. At prey densities below 2-3 g fish m-3 birds increased their search time during a trial drastically, while prey-encounter rate was greatly decreased. When cormorants attacked shoaling rather than solitary trout, their capture success was significantly reduced, while pursuit duration was significantly increased. Seabird energetics and behaviour are typically studied on the individual or species level. However, if we want to understand how seabirds react to environmental changes, we have to consider entire communities. In the western North Sea, a large seabird assemblage critically depends on a single fish species, the lesser sandeel (Ammodytes marinus), which is also exploited by an industrial fishery. I developed an algorithm to test for the capacity of four seabird species during chick-rearing in Scotland to buffer a potential decline in sandeel abundance by increasing their foraging effort in various ways. My results show that under the conditions currently operating in this region shags and guillemots (Uria aalge) may have sufficient time and energy to allow them to increase their foraging effort considerably, while Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) and gannets (Morus bassanus) appear more constrained by time and energy respectively. My study suggests that during chick-rearing gannets are working at the highest metabolic level of all species considered and hence, have the least physiological capacity to increase foraging effort. This indicates that gannets could potentially be very sensitive to a reduction in sandeel abundance. My thesis emphasises the importance of taking into account seabird energetics as well as fine scale behavioural requirements, when trying to develop management schemes for fisheries that will allow the coexistence of both seabirds and human fishery in a sustainable way

Full textLa prolifération croissante des dispositifs numériques sur le réseau ouvre la voie `a une nouvelle vision de l’informatique, la vision d’informatique diffuse. Toutefois, composer les services offerts par ces dispositifs pour réaliser des applications, ou services, répondant aux attentes des usagers reste un problème ouvert. Cette thèse vise à proposer une solution à « l’intégration spontanée de services dans les environnements de l’informatique diffuse ». La solution proposée se base sur une architecture orientée service et se décompose en trois fonctionnalités majeures : la transformation de service, la composition de services et l’adaptation de services. Un modèle générique d’ « intergiciel d’intégration de services » SIM est proposé, ainsi qu’une instanciation particulière MySIM, est développée. Le modèle d’intergiciel SIM intègre les services présents dans l’environnement `a travers quatre fonctionnalités : la transformation de descriptions de services propriétaires en un modèle de référence, la génération de toutes les compositions possibles des services au regard de leur compatibilité, la sélection des compositions de services valide en vue de leur qualité de service et finalement la construction qui instancie les services composites retenues et les publie dans l’environnement. MySIM est une instanciation de SIM qui se distingue par une approche spontanée de l’intégration de services. Les phases de génération, évaluation et construction de services sont réalisées de manière systématique et spontanée par l’intergiciel, sans intervention de l’utilisateur, en fonction des arrivées et départs des services au sein de l’environnement. Une implémentation de l’intergiciel MySIM basée sur la technologie OSGi a été proposée. Cette implémentation permet de valider pratiquement la solution introduite dans cette thèse pour résoudre les problèmes de spontanéité liés aux environnements pervasifs, et d’en évaluer les performances

Une solution à ce problème est la mise en œuvre de systèmes de réputation préservant la vie privée i. E. , calculant la réputation de telle sorte que le feedback individuel de chaque utilisateur ne soit pas révélé. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons des protocoles de réputation préservant la vie privée qui sont décentralisés, ne nécessitent pas de plates-formes spécialisées ni de tiers de confiance, qui protègent la vie privée sous une gamme de modèles de sécurité (" semi-honest ", " non-disruptive malicious ", " disruptive malicious ") et sont plus efficaces que les protocoles comparables (le protocole le plus coûteux nécessite O(n) + O(log N) messages, où n est le nombre d'utilisateurs qui fournissent un feedback et N est le nombre total d'utilisateurs). Les techniques que nous utilisons comprennent la trust awareness, la perturbation des données, le partage de secret, les techniques de calcul sécurisé multi-parties, les cryptosystèmes additifs homomorphiques, et les preuves de " zéro-connaissance ". Enfin, nous examinons certains problèmes liés aux techniques de recommandation et de propagation de la confiance. Nous proposons une solution au problème de la subjectivité intrinsèque à la notion de confiance. Les résultats expérimentaux obtenus confirment la pertinence de la stratégie proposée

Full textThis thesis aims to identify and characterise the most distant galaxy clusters by targeting red sequence galaxies and active galactic nuclei in the wide area environment of distant radio galaxies. This study complements both the lower redshift cluster searches which have identified clusters out to z=1. 45 using optical and X-ray selections and the work on protoclusters around z>2 radio galaxies using the Lyα emitters and Lyman break techniques. The new aspects of the work presented in this thesis are: (i) the study of the missing link between clusters and protoclusters known to date bythe investigation of the less studied redshift range 1. 41. 4) to select both red passively evolved and blue star-forming galaxy cluster candidates. The spatial distribution of the red galaxies is clearly non homogeneous and often present a filamentary structure containing the radio galaxies. We found that two of our studied fields, 7C~1756+6520 at z=1. 42 and MRC~0156-252 at z=2. 02, show overdensities of a factor of 2-4 in red sources compared to control fields. The first field shows a high concentration of red galaxies around the radio galaxy and several other aligned clumps forming a large scale filamentary structure of several Mpc. The second field demonstrates a more compact system of both blue and red galaxies concentrated within 1Mpc of the radio galaxy. A spectroscopy campaign confirmed that our suspected structure around 7C~1756-6520 isindeed a galaxy cluster with 20 galaxies found with redshifts consistent with the radio galaxy. We therefore conclude that although not all radio galaxies are found in overdense regions - at least as far as the red population is concerned - they are however a very efficient tool to search for high redshift galaxy clusters with the discovery in this thesis of the second most distant galaxy cluster to date at z=1. 42 and a galaxy cluster candidate at z~2

Full textThe goal of this thesis is to provide enhanced mechanisms to deploy competitive services in a rapid and cost-effective manner. To achieve this goal, we first propose an automatic service composition model relying on an IMS/Web converged environment. This service composition model is intended to be one in which even non-professional users can easily reuse existing services to create new services. To further improve the automatic service composition feature, three strategies including passive update, active update and hybrid update are proposed and analyzed. We then propose a centralized service exposure framework for a variey of services, including Telecom / Web / Device / user-generated services. This framework aims at enhancing the user-centric and convergence features, and providing the unified access to diverse services.Subsequently, two P2P based service information sharing models are designed to complement the centralized service exposure model : i) A hierarchical P2P based model, which reuses Chord for guaranteeing the service discovery efficiency, meanwhile adopts the concept of abstract service publication and discovery for enabling the ambiguous services searching. ii) A triplex P2P overlay based model, which mainly targets the devices offered services. In this model, we use the gateways to delegate the devices residing in them for the global service exposure, and use a triplex overlay based architecture, which includes an underlying unstructured P2P layer, a Semantic Overlay Network (SON) based overlay and a service dependency overlay, for the service information sharing and discovery

Full textFirms' innovation processes are assumed to be influenced by firm-internal and external factors, the latter resulting from the impact of the spatial environment of the innovating firm. At the centre of this thesis is the question how the region, more precisely the sum of actors and activities determining the environment of a firm, is perceived by the firms located there, and if those perceptions are related to firms' innovation processes. These topics are analysed in two neighbouring regions belonging to different national contexts: Alsace and Baden. The thesis starts with theoretical reflections referring to innovation and the region, with a special focus on the relationship between innovation, proximity and space. Nowadays, innovation is understood as interactive process, referring for instance to the chain-linked-model of innovation of Kline and Rosenberg (1986). The regional innovation system approach emphasises the interactive and systemic character of innovation. It focuses on the social dimension of innovation involving diverse actors, on proximity relations, the importance of knowledge generation, exchange and use. The innovation system approach is rooted in evolutionary economics and the assumption of bounded rationality of economic agents who act under conditions determined by uncertainty. Economic geography and regional economics aim at exploring the relationship between space and development. In the general framework of globalisation, innovation is of high importance for regions in order to compete and to prosper. Industrial districts and innovative milieus for instance focus on small and medium-sized enterprises, their interrelations and their embeddedness in the territorial context in order to explain the success of local production regimes. While the industrial districts concept emphasises flexible and specialised production modes and vertical integration of firms mainly in handcraft branches, the innovative milieu approach focuses on informal networks, interactive learning processes in innovation-supporting local settings. At the centre of the learning regions approach are creativity, learning and favourable framework conditions for the creation and diffusion of ideas and knowledge. Finally, the hypothesis of knowledge spillover from places of knowledge generation to actors located in close proximity seems to be particularly pertinent in science-based industries, as well as in initial phases of technology creation. The perception perspective adds a subjective and individual dimension to the analysis of firm innovation and the regional environment. Perception can be broadly defined as a reaction following a stimulus from the environment. The information of the external world transferred by the stimulus and the exploitation of this information are the base for a subjective representation of the environment. Psychological perception research focuses on these transfer processes between external environments' characteristics and the subjective representations of individuals. Sociologist approaches are based on the assumption that individuals "construct" their reality, a process that is based on perceptions and cognitive processes. Individuals and firms are considered as systems that interact with their environment. The latter, however, cannot directly influence system-internal processes, but rather "trigger" the evolution of the system elements. Perception geography finally focuses on the spatial behaviour of persons, based on their perceptions of the environment, thus assumes interactions between the individual and the social context - which shapes the mental framework of perception processes - in the territorial context. The analysis aims at investigating innovation-related perceptions that firm managers and persons responsible for research and development have of their environment. The analysis seeks to answer the question if there are region-specific patterns of firms' perceptions, and if perception and firms' innovation behaviours are associated. After a presentation of the socio-economic profiles of the surveyed regions, the innovation characteristics of regional actors and the respective national contexts, regional perceptions with respect to the available workforce, research and technology and the innovation climate, as well as innovation characteristics of the sample firms are analysed. The analysis is based on a survey of 93 innovating firms - manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises and knowledge-intensive business service firms - in the surveyed regions of Alsace and Baden. The sample firms have been analysed in 1995/96 and in 2004/05, which enables to retrace their innovation and perception characteristics in time. The empirical analysis – based on descriptive analyses, supplemented by a multivariate categorical principal components analysis – shows that the Alsatian and the Baden sample firms generally differ in their innovation models. This points at region-specific innovation characteristics. The sample firms' innovation patterns seem to be relatively stable between 1995/96 and 2004/05. Firms' perceptions concerning their regional environment, on the other hand, seem to have a rather evolutive character: There is a tendency among the sample firm representatives towards more decisive assessments concerning the selected characteristics of the regional environment nowadays than about ten years ago. Generally, the integration of the perception perspective enables to get a more complete picture of firm-internal innovation-related activities and their relationships with external innovation supporting actors, institutions, and organisations

Full textPlural World Interpretations are part of our everyday lives, even if we are not aware of the fact. They result from the simultaneous existence of different but equal models for interpreting the world we live in. These models are the product of human constructivity and co-exist as parallel realities, complementing and contradicting each other. Based on fieldwork among the Tyva of southern Siberia, the book discusses the practice of dealing with this multiplicity of world interpretations and shows how individual actors oscillate flexibly between two of many possible models for interpreting specific situations and act on them. The rules Tyvans apply in varying contexts, the reasons behind their choices and the consequences they have to deal with, are analysed. The result is an account of contemporary culture that explores the flexibility and plurality of human interpretation, action and behaviour.
Мы используем множественные интерпретации мира (нем. plurale Weltinterpretationen) ежедневно и, в большинстве случаев, неосознанно. Осуществляется это за счёт одновременного и равноценного сосуществования различных моделей мировоззрения. Они являются продуктом творческой деятельностей человека и сосуществуют в качестве параллельных реальностей, дополняя и, одновременно, противореча друг другу. На примере тувинцев Южной Сибири данная книга знакомит с двумя моделями мировоззрения, а также с практикой их применения. Показывается, как локальные акторы гибко применяют две из существующего множества моделей: и для того, чтобы действовать в складывающихся ситуациях, и чтобы толковать их. Станет понятным, каким правилам при этом следуют тувинцы, какими мотивами руководствуются и какие это имеет последствия. Результатом явится картина современной культуры, которая будет отвечать имеющимся на данный момент запросам гибкости и многообразия в мировоззрении, действиях и поведении человека.

While focusing on the case of Chinese students from Nanjing Normal University, specialized in French, this work was based on a re-questioning of notions of contextualization and progression in language didactics, by means of a real field investigation. It focused on identifying certain factors that determine the correlation between contextualized didactics and students' progress in French, distinguishing between their elementary level and their intermediate and advanced levels. These analyzes pave the way for possible didactic and pedagogical interventions to foster student progress, according to a contextualization-decontextualization-recontextualization process

Full textThe development of critical thinking is recognized as a fundamental goal of education in high school. Critical thinking does not mean the mere issuance of opinion on a particular subject, but it is a process that uses rational considerations of evidence, methods and criteria related to a particular subject in order to interpret, analyze and evaluate new data. To this end, we analyzed the possibility of using scientific articles on the theme \"Health and Environment\" as a teaching resource aimed at specific multidisciplinary learning contents. The improvement of skills of oral and written communication of students in scientific language, to put students in contact with the process of construction of scientific knowledge and the acquisition of the ability to actively pursue knowledge in reliable sources are the main goals of this resource. The selected papers encompass skills and abilities which, when developed, are per se the cultural achievement aimed at. Moreover, the themes developed for application in the high school class room encourage critical analysis of the relationship between health and environment based on sound scientific knowledge of the concepts involved. The teacher\'s role is to act as a facilitator and trainer of the minimum conceptual content required for each activity

Full textThis dissertation is interested in two areas of the environmental economics field: monetary valuation of environmental goods and services and environmental innovation. Even if those two fields are studied separately in this dissertation, they both aim at contributing to a common objective: fight against climate change. This dissertation ranges into five chapters. The first one is a general introduction, which depicts the two fields of the dissertation and their relevance towards climate change. Environmental valuation serves public decision through monetary valuation of environmental goods. This is useful not only for the implementation of projects directed to environmental protection, but also for the quantification of environmental damages. Environmental innovation may encourage technological transfers, but also a greener growth, in a will that our societies develop themselves following a sustainable path. Chapters 2 and 3 are interested in the choice experiments method in order to value local residents’ willingness-to-pay for water quality improvements at a specific river basin in France. Using a choice experiment with different management regimes for the river basin, we find that residents are willing-to-pay for an improved water quality. Despite this positive result, we observe a significant proportion (20%) of protest bids in our sample. Protest bids are respondents that state a zero willingness-to-pay, even though their true value for the good is positive. In order to take into account the existence of protest bids, we estimate a cross-nested logit model in chapter 3. We then obtain larger willingness-to-pay, which proves that the cross-nested logit model best fits the peculiarity of our data. Chapters 4 and 5 try to identify the drivers of environmental innovation. Using world patent data and data from the world economic forum survey, we study the impact of environmental public policies on innovation in clean technologies directed to water and air pollution, and waste. We find that both general innovative capacity and environmental policy stringency have a positive role on environment-related innovation. Chapter 5 looks at the influence of co-authorship of scientific publications on wind energy-related innovation. We use both the world patent database and the “Scopus” database, which contains lots of scientific literature references. We highlight the existence of knowledge spillovers between OECD and NON-OECD countries. Therefore, we show that knowledge transfers, regarding wind energy-related innovation, between OECD and NON-OECD countries contribute to improve NON-OECD countries' innovative capacity

As the rise in environmentalism, the government also positively pushes environmental protection policy, establishes the related concepts, and popularizes the importance of environmental protection through the publications. Therefore, instead of lecturing notes, the need for applying the aesthetic perception – the visual communication design – to the publications in order to attract readers’ cognition and attention has become an important issue. It is for this reason this study was carried out by focusing on the design of the current government environmental publications and consumers’ perception and preference on the government environmental publications. It hopes to induce the guidelines for the content and aesthetic design elements of the environmental publications to provide designers a useful reference for the future design on the environmental publications. Five government environmental publications were used as the subjects in this study. At the first, the points of emphasis for the content and aesthetic design elements of the government environmental publications were induced by literature review. Then, a detailed analysis on the design of the five government environmental publications was carried out, and a questionnaire survey by the Internet was also carried out in order to understand respondents’ attitudes toward the content and aesthetic design elements of the publications. Finally, the results obtained from the questionnaire were statistically analysed. The results are as follows: first, in the aspect of the public’s attitude toward the content and aesthetic design elements, sample two, the publication from Tainan city government, receives higher average. Sample two, in contrast with others, provides more complete information. In terms of aesthetic design elements, the font size and the color are more suitable and flexible. In addition, sample two obtains the higher evaluation by virtue of the high quality of the typography, the graphic design, the color using, and the layout. Second, in the aspect of having the design background or not, there is a significant difference in the color using. However, there are no significant differences on the evaluation of the content and aesthetic design elements of the government environmental publications. Third, there exists very high relationship among the typography, the graphic design, the color using, and the layout of the aesthetic design elements of the environmental publications. In addition, the color using has the most prediction ability on the preference of the publications. Therefore, it can more increase readers’ satisfaction on environmental publications, if the color can meet the preference of readers when carrying on the color plan of environmental publications.
