Dolgorouky, Cristina. "Mesure de la réactivité atmosphérique totale avec les radicaux hydroxyles (OH) : développement et applications en Ile-de-France." Phd thesis, Université Paris Sud - Paris XI, 2012. http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00684758.
Full textAbstract:
Le radical hydroxyle (OH) représente le plus important oxydant dans la troposphère et le puits de la plus grande partie des composés à l'état de trace de l'atmosphère. Si les sources des radicaux hydroxyles sont aujourd'hui relativement bien connues, le terme 'puits' des OH, connu sous le terme de réactivité atmosphérique totale avec les radicaux OH (ou réactivité OH) (s-1), reste encore difficile à quantifier. En raison de la complexité des instruments nécessaires, peu de mesures de OH et de réactivité sont actuellement disponibles et la nouvelle méthode proposée par Sinha et al., (2008) représente une alternative prometteuse pour la quantification de la réactivité atmosphérique totale avec les radicaux hydroxyles. Cette méthode est appelée Méthode Comparative de Réactivité (CRM) et est basée sur la mesure rapide d'une molécule normalement absente de l'atmosphère (ici pyrrole, C4H5N) et qui réagit à un taux connu avec les radicaux hydroxyles produits artificiellement dans une petite cellule de réaction en verre. La comparaison des concentrations de pyrrole obtenues en présence/absence d'air ambiant, dans un champ de radicaux constant, permet de quantifier la réactivité de l'air ambiant. Cette thèse a eu pour objectif principal le développement et l'optimisation de cette méthode pour la mesure de réactivité en zone urbaine, fortement riche en monoxyde d'azote (NO), composé identifié comme produisant des artefacts de la mesure. De même, il fallait proposer une méthodologie pour intégrer toutes les corrections, inhérentes à la méthode, à appliquer aux valeurs brutes de réactivité. Une fois la méthode mise au point, le deuxième objectif de ces travaux était la caractérisation de la réactivité atmosphérique totale avec les radicaux OH à Paris, une des rares mégacités existantes en Europe et où aucune mesure de réactivité n'avait été rapportée auparavant. L'étude réalisée pendant la campagne d'hiver 2010 du projet européen MEGAPOLI a permis de caractériser le niveau de réactivité à Paris pendant deux régimes de masses d'air différentes, océanique / continental. Ainsi il a été possible de distinguer un niveau de réactivité purement local de Paris et Ile de France (impacté par le caractère " trafic " de cette ville européenne et étant comparable aux niveaux enregistrés à New York et Tokyo), et un niveau fort, importé, caractéristique d'un transport longue distance. De même, l'étude a révélé que pendant l'import continental, de forts pourcentages ont été enregistrés de réactivité manquante, définie comme la différence entre la valeur mesurée et une valeur théorique, calculée à partir des composés réagissant avec OH et mesurés pendant la campagne. La nature des espèces non-mesurées et contribuant à cette réactivité a été déterminée comme oxydée, issue des processus de " processing " des masses d'air sur le trajet long distance. Ce travail apporte dans un premier temps des informations uniques sur la méthode CRM pour la mesure de la réactivité OH (fonctionnement, traitement des données) et contribue par la suite à la caractérisation des niveaux de réactivité dans la région parisienne.

Full textAbstract:
Is it possible for technological �spaces� to be created that can provide a community
atmosphere � one in which learners are not restrained by pre-determined syllabi and have the
ability to direct their learning according to their own interests, pace and goals? If so, it would
be notable to discover which kinds of interactions might be possible, or might eventuate, and
how the participants in such a learning �space� would organize themselves. Also of interest
would be the kinds of power structures that emerged through participant interaction, the
direction/interactions undertaken by the participants and the improvements that could be made
in order to respect and accommodate the differences between learners in a social online
learning space.
In order to further study this hypothesised need to investigate these questions, this researcher
developed an online, English as a Second/Foreign Language learning environment for
advanced adult learners of English. She reviewed the appropriate literature in order to theorise
how to commence this research direction and investigated various learning platforms and
software tools. The result was the development of a multiplatform environment which
consisted of a content management system and a 3D microworld. Tools, exercises and content
were developed and/or gathered as starting points for learners and the various software had to
be learnt in order to orient others on their use. Finally, the environment was trialed over a four
week duration with a group of advanced to native speakers of English (volunteers) and the
results have been presented in this thesis for discussion.
The trial, entitled the ILE Project, attempted to study the problems involved in the technical
development of such spaces, to observe the interactions between the learners in a 3D
microworld and uncover issues relating to its implementation. Some issues raised by the
project concerned techno-literacy, personality-driven interaction differences and
organizational power shifts within the 3D community. This thesis closes with an argument
that redefines the notion of the learner autonomy, proposes certain modifications to both the
pedagogic and technical structure of the online environment and discusses the issues raised in
this research. The latter discussion would require further re-conceptualization of the spaces,
stakes and support structures that educators can create/provide in an attempt to improve online
language learning.

Donner, Nicolas. "La clé des champs : enclavement et immunité territoriale de l'exploitation pétrolière en Afrique centrale (Tchad, Guinée Équatoriale, São Tomé et Príncipe)." Thesis, Paris 1, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA010607.
Full textAbstract:
La présente thèse propose de réfléchir au « statut territorial » des espaces de la production pétrolière en Afrique centrale. Et ce en explorant d’abord – derrière les évidences d’un « enclavement » ordinairement admis de ces espaces (mais sans que celui-ci soit véritablement réfléchi) – leurs modes de production architecturaux : à la fois ceux des « enclaves pétrolières » en tant que telles, que l’on proposera de théoriser en tant qu’« îles artificielles » en les réfléchissant au vaste miroir des constructions techniques humaines, et ceux des systèmes spatiaux qui les portent : architectures internationales dont les « enclaves » apparaissent comme autant de clés de voûte – signalant alors cette croissante tension qu’aiguise le monde contemporain entre le développement d’interdépendances et de compénétrations territoriales de plus en plus vitales, et la persistance et la continuation – également fondamentale – du découpage de la scène internationale en unités territoriales souveraines. L’exploitation pétrolière – paradoxe dont on traquera la vérité – apparaissant autant comme un puissant facteur de construction de frontières internationales (dont on exposera quelques dynamiques en cours dans le golfe de Guinée) et comme une activité induisant et produisant différentes formes de découplages entre territoires étatiques et souverainetés, auxquelles l’exploitation et les investissements qui la sous-tendent supportent mal d’être assujettis. Ainsi explorerons-nous, au travers de l’étude des relations contractuelles nouées entre industriels et souverains, ainsi qu’au travers des techniques de financement telles que mobilisées dans le projet Tchad-Cameroun, comment l’exploitation pétrolière, parce qu’elle réclame une conséquente immunité à l’égard des risques qui pèsent sur elle (et au premier rang desquels figure le risque souverain), tend à produire des modes d’enclavement des territoires de l’exploitation. Car c’est ce que tend à démontrer cette thèse : que ces enclaves sont bel et bien des territoires, lesquels réclament toutefois d’être conceptualisés de façon à pouvoir concilier leurs dimensions « extraterritoriales » et leur toujours nécessaire ancrage dans la souveraineté territoriale étatiqueThis thesis aims to conceptualize the oil production areas’ territorial status in central Africa. It first proposes to explore – behind the false evidence of an “enclave status” which is commonly accepted without being theorized – their architectural patterns: both those of the “oil enclaves” as such – which will be conceptualized as “artificial islands” by mirroring them with the vast domain of human technical constructions –, and those of the international spatial systems without which they could not exist – oil production spaces appearing as keystones of such systems. They thus highlight one of the contemporary world’s greatest tensions, which stand between the increasingly vital nature of international interdependences and territorial permeations, and the persistence and continuation – as well fundamental – of the territorial and sovereign partition of our world. Oil production – and we will inquire about the truth that hides such a paradox – concurrently appearing as a powerful factor in building international borders (which we will be discuss some current dynamics in the gulf of Guinea) and as creating various ways of unbundling territories and sovereignties, given that nor the activity nor its financial investors easily bear being at sovereign powers’ mercy. We will thus explore – through the contractual relations that intimately tie oil companies and sovereign powers, and through financing techniques such as those Exxon called up in the Chad-Cameroon project – how oil production – because it requires being consequently immunized against political and sovereigns' risks – tends to create various ways of territorial enclaving. And here is what this thesis seeks to demonstrate: that oil enclaves are territories – territories which claim to be conceptualized so as to reconcile their “extraterritorial” extent and their still crucial implant in the sovereign territory

Full textAbstract:
The main aim of this piece of work is to propose an adjustment to the ICE methodology with an increased applicability for small projects. The emphasis is especially given to the most important areas of the methodology that can be easily adjusted or simplified. The theoretical part of this paper consists of four main chapters. The first chapter is called "Project and Project Management". This chapter holistically explains the meaning of project and project management terms. It describes a project from a general point of view and looks at its individual components. The second chapter so called "Methodology" explores particular project management methodologies. It focuses on two basic project lifecycle models along with an analysis of traditional and agile methodologies. The third "Small Project Methodologies" chapter examines the modified methodologies suitable for management of small projects. The final chapter of the theoretical part is the "ICE Methodology Analysis". The analysis represents the key pillar for this work without which the practical part could not be concluded. The practical part of this piece of work focuses on specifics of the ICE methodology modification in accordance with the analysis carried out in the theoretical part. The basis for this modification is represented by the general methodology framework for small projects. The general framework is fully based on the analysis undertaken in the theoretical part of this paper and plays a significant role in the ICE methodology modification process. The main areas of the ICE methodology modification are defined in "The ICE Methodology for Small Projects - Simplification Proposal". The practical part's conclusion presents the unmodified and modified ICE methodology comparison.

Full textAbstract:
Several studies have shown that the main problem in the construction industry is low productivity. Therefore, this study focuses on developing a proposal through a methodology that can increase productivity in the construction of buildings. The proposed methodology is Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), which has 4 pillars: Building Information Modeling (BIM), Integrated Concurrent Engineering (ICE), metrics and Project Production Management (PPM). However, the article mainly develops BIM and ICE sessions. In addition, in the ICE sessions, "work executors"will be added, so that the information is fed back by both parties, specialist engineers and work executors. Finally, the proposal will be applied in a multi-family building project in the city of Lima - Peru, in order to obtain improvement results.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with the rehabilitation and employment of mentally ill people. It focusses on a Community Programme which offers a year's employment to people with a mental illness. Fifty -three people recruited to the Sprout project were interviewed at various stages during their career on the project. The study sets out to evaluate the project's impact on participants, both during their employment there and subsequently. Participants' views on employment in general and on Sprout were obtained, along with details of their employment and psychiatric histories and of their social circumstances. At a time of high general unemployment, there is much debate about the emphasis work should be given in rehabilitation. In the thesis, I rehearse some of the arguments and counterarguments and consider what light the views of service -users can throw on the issue. It emerges that many mentally ill people believe that they benefit from being in work. They want to work and, given a supportive setting, are capable of doing so. However, there were few opportunities for those leaving Sprout to take up either sheltered or open employment elsewhere. The outcomes for Sprout participants were highly diverse and it seems imperative that such diversity should be reflected in a range of provision which catered for variations in ability and interest. To polarise discussion and debate whether or not work has a place in rehabilitation seems unhelpful. The project had, on the whole, disappointingly little long -term effect on the abilities and quality of life of participants. However, when viewed in the context of other research findings, these results are not surprising as rehabilitation rarely succeeds in bringing about lasting improvements in ability. Moreover, it was evident that Sprout participants often faced substantial difficulties in their lives outside work and yet received little or no support from health or welfare services. This may have affected outcome. The thesis points up deficiencies in current services for mentally ill people and suggests ways in which the employment opportunities of this group might be enhanced. It is insufficient to look only at the employability of the individuals concerned, without also considering the wider social factors which influence access to and retention of employment.

Shirley Jackson's fiction continues to be placed within the gothic horror genre because of its supernatural and horror images. I contend the major focus of her work is her critique of the social norms constructed for women by an archaic and inauthentic patriarchial system of rules and domestic expectation for women that result in madness for the resisting female.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse de maîtrise porte sur la résistance paysanne de l’Ile-à-Vache (Haïti) face au projet de développement écotouristique de l’État sur l’île. Elle s’inscrit au carrefour des sociologies du développement et des mouvements sociaux. Il s’agit d’une recherche qualitative menée à partir d’une étude de cas avec des entretiens et des observations informelles à Ile-à-Vache. D’une part, cette thèse montre que la question foncière était le principal enjeu autour duquel le projet (éco) touristique de l’État ainsi que la résistance induite par cedit projet étaient construits. D’autre part, cette recherche met en évidence la contradiction existante entre la mise en œuvre du projet et sa prétention écotouristique à travers un choix délibéré de l’État d’exclure la population locale, les impacts socio-environnementaux néfastes et sa contribution à la dégradation des conditions matérielles d’existence des paysan.ne.s. Ce qui a occasionné un mouvement de résistance coordonné par KOPI (Konbit peyizan Ilavach) qui a fait un travail de conscientisation au niveau de la population locale sur les enjeux, menaces et dangers du projet afin de parvenir à un engagement collectif d’une part, et un travail de médiatisation qui a donné une visibilité nationale et internationale à cette résistance paysanne, d’autre part. Tout ce processus avait bénéficié de la solidarité des acteurs externes venus principalement de Port-au-Prince. Ainsi, la résistance a choisi de s’exprimer à travers des manifestations qui ont été systématiquement réprimées par la police. Le blocage était aussi une autre forme de protestation qui s’exprimait à travers des actions nocturnes et discrètes. Malgré les tentatives de cooptation et de répression, la résistance paysanne de cette île a réussi à bloquer le projet, une réussite qu’on ne saurait voir de manière isolée puisque le contexte social et politique était également important. Le mouvement national populaire contre le régime au pouvoir qui a provoqué la démission du gouvernement a favorisé ce succès.

Full textAbstract:
During the Austral Spring of 2007-2008 the ANtarctic geological DRILLing program (ANDRILL) recovered a 1,138 meter long sediment core AND-2A from the western side of the Victoria Land Basin for the Southern McMurdo Sound Project. The main goal of the project is to help establish a Neogene (~24 to 1.6 Mya) ice volume and climate record of Antarctica. This study focuses on the foraminifera record of AND-2A for paleoenvironmental and biostratigraphic purposes.AND-2A is unique in that it contains a Middle Miocene record (~17 to ~11 Mya) that includes the Middle Miocene transition of warm climatic conditions favoring polythermal ice sheets to major cooling into polar conditions resulting in the quasi-permanent formation of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. This Middle Miocene transition has not been previously recovered from the Antarctic continental margin.The foraminifer record is not abundant; however, three assemblage zones are identified throughout AND-2A. Calcareous benthic taxa dominate every assemblage, as well as displaying similarities between modern shallow shelf assemblages around Antarctica and assemblages from previous drilling projects in the Ross Sea sector. The foraminifera record displays a dynamic environmental record and is supported by both the sedimentologic and other paleontologic findings.

Full textAbstract:
Clouds play an important role in precipitation, solar radiation budget and electrification of Earth's atmosphere. The presence of small ice crystals in clouds and their morphology can complicate parametrisation and climate modelling, consequently leading to a net cooling feedback on climate. In situ airborne measurements provide single particle characterisation with high temporal and spatial resolution allowing better understanding of atmosphericprocesses of ice nucleation and growth. Simulations of the preindustrial clouds and accurate characterisation and comparison of the instruments require a well-controlled and often pristine environment. The experimental chamber setup allows simulations of these and other conditions. The microphysical features of the micrometric ice particles in clouds were examined in a laboratory setup, at numerous sub-zero temperatures [-10 to -50 ⁰C]. The following instruments were sampling the content of the CLOUD chamber air volume: Cloud and Aerosol Spectrometer with Polarisation (CASPOL), Particle Phase Discriminator mark 2 (PPD-2K, Karlsruhe edition), 3-View Cloud Particle Imager (3V-CPI), and the Scattering-Intensity-Measurements-for-the-Optical-detectioN-of-icE (SIMONE-Junior). Cluster analysis was applied to the data collected with CASPOL and compared with results from the other probes. We were able to discriminate and map the aerosol and cloud particles in the pristine chamber environment using polarisation ratios (Dpol/Backscatter and Dpol/Forwardscatter) of the scattered light. We demonstrate the sensitivity of the instruments in detecting secondary organic aerosol (SOA) phase transitions. Then, we show the ability of the viscous SOA to nucleate ice in a series of SPectrometer for Ice Nuclei (SPIN) measurements. The detected viscous SOA ice nucleation efficiency may affect global modelling and estimations of ice water content in the atmosphere. Subsequently, the analysis and discrimination technique used in the CLOUD chamber was applied to airborne measurements to test its efficiency and to retrieve the composition of clouds. Data from four flight campaigns on board of the FAAM BAe-146 were analysed: Aerosol-Cloud Coupling and Climate Interactions in the Arctic (ACCACIA), COnvective-Precipitation-Experiment (COPE) in south England, CIRrus Coupled Cloud-Radiation EXperiment (CIRCCREX), and PIKNMIX in Scotland. In these and other flights, we were able to identify unique clusters such as salts, minerals, organics, volcanic ash, water and ice, confirming some of the offline laboratory elemental analysis results, and providing complementary information. Single particle polarisation measurements were compared with bulk depolarisation, diffraction patterns, and imaging. Most of the optical instruments still suffer from ambiguity in phase derivation (i.e. water/ice) of optically spherical small shapes. We discuss some of the limitations of optical cloud particle discrimination in different ambient conditions and offer possible solutions to reduce the uncertainty, e.g., surface complexity derivation from scatteringpatterns. Our findings will help to develop better instruments and improve the models which are used for weather forecasts and climate change predictions.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Finanças.O Estado intervém na economia e finanças para corrigir as falhas do mercado, combater as assimetrias de várias regiões e satisfazer as necessidades públicas, particularmente dos agentes económicos, com a finalidade de alcançar a eficiência, eficácia e a equidade (a distribuição de forma justa dos bens e dos serviços). Essas alterações económicas, sociais e principalmente políticas que ocorrem, podem comprometer os resultados de um projecto de investimento estrangeiro. Nesta dissertação pretendemos estudar a avaliação duas grandezas, projectos de Investimento Directo Estrangeiro (IDE) e sua relação com o risco político, sua caracterização, formas de gestão destes riscos e seu impacto na avaliação e decisão dos projectos IDE. O trabalho demonstra a importância do estudo e evolução do risco político a nível global nas actividades de IDE, particularmente evidencia o caso de Angola, onde temos assistido a uma "redução" da significância do risco político por parte da comunidade internacional, contribuindo deste modo para a atractividade do IDE. Angola no contexto africano e mundial, tem demonstrado fruto das suas políticas e compromisso de nação, a estabilidade, o crescimento e o emprego, como sendo factores preponderantes para criação de negócios no país. São várias as multinacionais locais que retratam a questão do risco político no nosso mercado angolano, como sendo um factor não decisivo de investimento directo estrangeiro. Interessou-nos portanto, o entendimento conceitual do risco político e sua importância para a economia e finanças em Angola. Em termos gerais, a gestão do risco político tem vindo a ser realizada com os mecanismos de aprofundamento das relações entre o Estado e as multinacionais, partilha nos investimentos de capital estrangeiro com os de empresários nacionais, apoio as políticas de nacionalização de quadros entre outras observadas no nosso caso prático da Soba Catumbela.

Esta Dissertação analisa a luta das trabalhadoras domésticas pela obtenção dos mesmos direitos e garantias dos demais trabalhadores, definidos para as outras classes de trabalhadores que também exercem atividade profissional remunerada. Discute, também, a promulgação da Emenda Constitucional 72/2013 e a não equiparação entre empregados domésticos e não domésticos. Portanto, o objetivo é analisar o processo de valorização dos trabalhadores domésticos no Brasil, confrontando o estabelecimento e o cumprimento de normas legais com abertura de prerrogativas que culminam com a manutenção da desigualdade entre esses trabalhadores. Para isso, faz-se necessário um levantamento histórico associado às normas regulamentares, atentando para a conscientização e para o surgimento de novas posturas nas relações entre patrão e empregado doméstico, bem como para os entraves na prática das novas regras, os quais ferem um dos princípios da Constituição Federal que é a preservação da dignidade humana. A pesquisa foi dividida em quatro partes. A primeira seção examina a identificação conceitual dos empregados domésticos e os condicionantes que permitem o reconhecimento para classificação e enquadramento do grupo, bem como a evolução histórica do trabalho doméstico no Brasil e, ainda, traz os direitos contemplados e os não concedidos com a Emenda Constitucional nº72/2013. A segunda seção descreve a evolução histórica da classe trabalhadora dos empregados domésticos na Argentina, seus decretos leis e a nova lei que regula esses trabalhadores. A terceira retoma a discussão sobre a valorização profissional desse grupo e sobre o apoio da Organização Internacional do Trabalho e sua convenção 189, trabalhando com a importância e a dignidade desses empregados, assim como biografias e histórias de vida de mulheres ativistas à causa.
In this dissertation we analyze the struggle of domestic workers to obtaining the same rights and guarantees defined for other classes of workers that also perform paid professional activity. We discuss the proclamation of Constitutional Amendment n. 72/2013 and the no equivalence between domestic and non-domestic employees. Thus, the aim is to analyze the process of valuation of domestic workers in Brazil, confronting the establishment and enforcement of legal regulations with opening prerogatives that culminate with the maintenance of inequality among these workers. For this, a historical survey of the regulations is necessary, attempting to achieve awareness and the emergence of new attitudes in the relationship between employer and domestic worker as well as the barriers in the practice of the new rules, hurting one of the principles of the Federal Constitution which is the preservation of human dignity. The research was divided into four parts. The first chapter examines the conceptual identification of domestic workers and the conditions that allow recognition for classification and framing the group as well as the historical evolution of domestic work in Brazil and also it brings the contemplated rights and the ones not established on the Constitutional Amendment n. 72/2013. The second chapter describes the historical development of the working class of domestic workers in Argentina, its law enactment and the new law regulating these workers. The third chapter recaptures the discussion on the professional development of this group with the support of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and its Convention 189 working with the importance and dignity of these employees, as well as biographies and life-history of women activists to the cause.

Cette thèse porte sur les relations entre prospective et décisions stratégiques dans le domaine des politiques de développement aéroportuaire. Il s’agit d’une thèse menée en milieu professionnel, établie à partir d’une recherche de terrain : elle vise à proposer un cadre et une méthodologie pour des choix aéroportuaires à long terme. Son point de départ est le manque de robustesse constaté des décisions sur une éventuelle troisième plate-forme pour la région parisienne depuis le début des années 90. Cette situation paradoxale en regard des nombreuses études menées sur ce sujet, est inquiétante car les enjeux économiques, sociaux et environnementaux portés par un tel projet son considérables. Notre travail de recherches s’est basé sur un examen des enjeux du développement aéroportuaire à long terme, un récapitulatif des outils d’aide à la décision stratégique, accordant une place particulière à la prospective, et une analyse des études prospectives menées depuis la fin des années 60, placées en perspective des décisions prises depuis 1990. Cette analyse a été enrichie d’éléments issus de la littérature sur le transport aérien. Alors que la prospective et la décision stratégique sont naturellement liées, nous concluons qu’une utilisation de la prospective en rupture avec ses principes fondamentaux, et basée sur une mise en œuvre, trop parcellaire pour être efficace, de la méthode des scénarios, n’a pas permis de fournir les résultats menant à une décision durable. Afin de renouer ce lien, nous proposons de revenir aux fondamentaux de la prospective et de développer des outils orientés vers des notions de projet d’entreprise et d’ingénierie prospective basée sur la méthode des scénarios, qui demeure une référenceThis thesis is about the relationships between foresight and strategic decision in the domain airport development policies. It is conducted in professional context from a field research : it aims at proposing a frame and a methodology for airport long term choices. Its starting point is the lack of robustness of decisions for a possible third platform for the Parisian area since the beginning of 90’s. This paradoxal situation, if we consider the number of studies about this subject, is worrying because economical, social and environmental stakes lead by such a project are important. Our research work was based on a study of the stakes of long term airport development, a recapitulatory of tools for strategic decision making giving a special place for foresight and an analysis of foresight studies put in perspective of decisions made since 1990. We propose to come to the foresight basic principles back and, for strengthening the decision, to develop tools oriented to the notions of enterprise project and foresight engineery based on scenario methodology witch kept a reference

Ce travail se place dans le contexte du détecteur de vertex (VXD) composé de capteurs CMOS pour l'ILC, et dans celui du télescope en faisceau du projet européen AIDA. La thèse inclut les tests en faisceau des éléments du télescope AIDA : les super-plans SALAT et les échelles double faces PLUME. Elle questionne la valeur ajoutée en terme d'alignement, des couches double faces de capteurs CMOS pour le VXD de l'ILD. Une nouvelle méthode d'alignement autonome de chacune des 3 double couches du VXD grâce aux mini-vecteurs construits sur chaque zone de recouvrement inter-échelle est proposée et a été testée avec des particules de haute impulsion. Cependant, seules les particules du bruit de fond faisceau, de plus basses impulsions, permettent l'obtention d'une statistique suffisante pour cet alignement. Ce bruit de fond a alors été étudié et une estimation des taux d'occupation des capteurs du VXD a conduit à une ré-estimation des vitesses de lecture des capteurs de chaque couche du VXDThis work was conducted in the context of a vertex detector (VXD) composed of CMOS sensors for ILD and in the context of the beam telescope of the european project AIDA. The provides the results of beam tests for the new telescope components : the SALAT super-planes and the PLUME double sided ladders. The thesis adresses the added value in terms of alignment, of double sided layers of CMOS sensors for the VXD of ILD. A new standalone alignment method of each of the three double sided layers of VXD with the mini-vectors built on each overlapping zone between the consecutive ladders is analysed. Such alignment was validated with high momentum particles. However, only the beam background particles, with lower momentum, can provide the minimum statistic for this kind of alignment. Thus, the beam background noise was studied and the occupancy rate of the VXD sensors was studied. This led to a reassessment of the readout speed for the sensors of each layer of the VXD

To cope with the low productivity, as well as the fragmentation within the Swedish construction industry, organizations are working with technically mediated social collaboration methods. One of those methods, which have established a considerable presence within the Swedish industry, is Integrated Concurrent Engineering, ICE. The purpose of this study is to provide knowledge regarding how ICE is utilized within the Swedish industry, as well as identify and determine how factors influence the concept. The study is carried out as a case study within a Swedish contractor. Firstly, the thesis examines how the methodology is used in practice during the design stage. This by observing design meetings within two separate projects carried out by the same organization. Secondly, the study explores how the use of the methodology is perceived and recognized by, for the organization, internal and external stakeholders. The individual perception of the concept was acquired by semi-structured interviews. The employed methods in the study enables the thesis to identify and understand factors influencing the use of, and the diffusion of, the concept. Both within the organization as well as within the industry. The study reveals that even though the concept has been practiced for a number of years, the utilization of the concept is fragmented, both within the organization as well as within the industry. For example, external stakeholders experience problems obtaining a clear understanding of the organization’s aims and goals using the concept. This due to inconsistencies between projects within the same organization. Similarly, internal users highlight methodological variations between the organization’s projects. The findings indicate a problem with the organizational definition regarding the content of, and the utilization of, the ICE methodology. Since the organization in the study represents a major part of the communication between the academia and the industry, a problem with the organizational definition does not only affect the organization, it could affect the use of the concept within the entire Swedish construction industry. To enable an organizational learning, as well as to facilitate a diffusion of the concept within the industry, a systematic approach with the methodology is required. The factors identified by the study can be considered important to understand how the concept can be further developed within the organization, but also how to positively affect the diffusion in the industry.

L'hypothèse qui est au cœur de l'analyse est que les NTE sont un instrument de légitimation de la convergence expérimentale et l'alibi avancé par les différents acteurs impliqués dans l'expérimentation pour justifier la nécessité de nouveaux développements organisationnels. Il apparaît, au terme de l'analyse, que les différents scénarios envisagés par les acteurs, incompatibles d'un point de vue industriel impliquent des formes économiques, partenariales et pédagogiques différentes. Ils sont liés aux finalités sociétales respectivement poursuivies et entraînent des processus d'industrialisation et de réindustrialisation de la formation répondant à des logiques socio-économiques concurrentesVia an analysis of discourses and institutional strategies of actors involved in the USN/ILC project, a university level learning technologies innovation experiment, this doctoral work studies what is at stakes in these trials and examines the processes by which the building of a local socio-economical system allows to experiment with and define the conditions required for more general e-learning programs. Our hypothesis is that emerging educational technologies are used to legitimize industrial convergence processes and are the alibi actors need to justify the development of new organizational structures. Different scenarios imagined by the actors are incompatible, from an industrial point of view, and imply the use of different economical, affiliations and pedagogical frameworks.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to explore the cultural meanings of Asian/American and Asian female skaters through an examination of the US media narratives of them from a period beginning in the early 1980s and ending in the late 2000s. Main subjects are Tiffany Chin (Taiwanese American), Kristi Yamaguchi (Japanese American), Michele Kwan (Chinese American), and a group of Asians such as Japanese skaters (Midori Ito, Yuka Sato, Shizuka Arakawa and Asada Mao), Chinese skaters (Chen Lu), and Korean skater (Yu-Na Kim). Drawing on Reading Sport Project as a methodological tool and the Sporting Black Atlantic as a theoretical tool, I deploy what I call the Sporting Yellow Pacific as a theoretical reading frame for this project. It refers to a genealogical space that is geographically transnational and historically neo colonial, in which the difference of Asian females is epistemologically subjected as ‘Other’ in the ontological space of American white national imagination. With this frame, I attempt to conceptualize the skaters as what I call the yellow female skater, a racialized and gendered sporting icon, which signifies a number of sets of complex and sometimes ambivalent images: nationally American but racially Asian; culturally favored as a model minority but also perilous and foreign as yellow peril; naturally primitive and/or childish but also hyper-sexual and exotic; and, biologically talented or superior but aesthetically underdeveloped. Through an analysis of these images in relation to representation, discourse, and power, I eventually write this dissertation as a genealogy that traces a historical trajectory of the yellow female skater.

Full textAbstract:
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) introducerades tidigt på 2000-talet för att främja ett arbete med datorbaserade modeller samt involvering av produktionsplanering i designfasen. VDC är ett koncept som idag har anammats inom många bygg- och konsultföretag för att utveckla arbetet med Building Information Model (BIM), innovationer och samverkan inom byggprojekt. Konceptet VDC förändras ständigt och omdefinieras av enskilda individer och företag. Det här resulterar i att det råder en begreppsförvirring hur VDC ska definieras och hur arbete med VDC ska genomföras. Vidare tenderar många byggprojekt att vara fragmenterade med projektmedlemmar som främst fokuserar på sitt eget teknikområde. För att minska fragmentering mellan projektmedlemmar kan integrerade arbetsmetoder tillämpas. Syftet med examensarbetet är därför dels att undersöka innebörden av VDC som koncept och även hur VDC kan stimulera integrerade arbetsmetoder. Ämnet utforskas kvalitativt med vetenskaplig litteratur och intervjustudie. Den vetenskapliga litteraturen definierar konceptuellt VDC och två integrerade arbetsmetoder Integrated Concurrent Engineering (ICE) och Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). Varvid intervjustudien inkluderar respondenter från byggsektorn vars reflektioner om det studerade ämnet presenteras. Studien är geografiskt avgränsad till Sverige. I resultatet påvisas den rådande tvetydigheten huruvida VDC definieras. För att undvika begreppsförvirring kan det vara behövligt med en gemensam definition av VDC i byggbranschen och även nationella riktlinjer vilka beskriver hur arbete med VDC ska utföras. Vidare kan VDC stimulera ett integrerat arbetssätt genom en ökad samhörighet inom byggprojekt med bland annat gemensamma formuleringar av projektmål och gemensam problemlösning mellan projektmedlemmar.Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) was introduced early in the 21st century in order to encourage work with computer based models and construction planning in the design phase. VDC is a concept that has been embraced by several construction and consulting companies in order to develop their work with Building Information Model (BIM), innovations and cooperation within construction projects. VDC is a concept that keeps evolving and is being redefined by individuals and companies. This has contributed to a conceptual confusion within the construction sector about the definition of VDC. Furthermore, construction projects tend to be fragmented with project members that are working in silos and primarily focusing on their own discipline. In order to decrease the fragmentation within construction projects integrated working methods can be applied. Therefor the purpose of this master thesis is to explore the concept VDC and how it can stimulate integrated working methods. The study is examined using qualitative methods based on scientific literature and an interview study. The scientific literature is defining VDC conceptually and two integrated working methods Integrated Concurrent Engineering (ICE) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). Furthermore, the interview study includes respondents from the construction industry whose reflections and thoughts about the subject are being presented. The study is geographically limited to Sweden. The result shows the current ambiguity of how VDC is defined. In order to avoid a conceptual confusion a common definition should be formulated with national guidelines that describe how work with VDC should be conducted. Furthermore, VDC can stimulate an integrated approach through increased cohesion within construction projects, including common objectives within the project and joint problem solving between project members.

Full textAbstract:
På Hedlunda i Umeå finns Hedlunda förskola; en byggnad som innehåller förskoleverksamhet, ett storkök och en matsal. Byggnaden uppfördes 2014 och började nyttjas samma år. Byggnaden är projekterad av Sweco för att klara krav gällande allt från specialpedagogik till energi och miljö. Den är även certifierad enligt en internationell passivhusstandard. Syftet med examensarbetet är att granska om förskolan håller de energikrav den projekterats för, samt att jämföra byggnadens projekterade energianvändning med den i praktiken uppmätta. Det sistnämnda gjordes även för att utvärdera precisionen hos den projekterade energianvändningen. Energibehovet ställdes även i proportion till de gränsvärden för energikrav som används av andra energicertifieringar. Byggnaden simulerades i programmet IDA ICE, och de mätvärden som samlades in bearbetades i Microsoft Excel. Programmet PHPP användes även för att granska om förskolan uppfyllde de internationella passivhuskraven. Byggnaden klarar varken kravet för årlig energianvändning eller kravet för specifikt primärenergibehov. Båda dessa är krav inom den internationella passivhusstandarden. Det föregående överskrids med 14 %, och det senare med 4 %. Byggnaden klarar energikravet för den svenska passivhuscertifieringen med god marginal. Värdet på byggnadens specifika energianvändning skilde sig knappt alls mellan projekteringen och det uppmätta värdet. Tittar man dock på enskilda faktorer så skiljer sig de projekterade värdena av el och uppvärmning sig mot de uppmätta med större differenser. Störst differens återfinns i faktorn verksamhetsel som överskattades med 60 % i projekteringen. Byggnadens specifika energianvändning uppgick till ca 43 kWh /m2 år vilket är lägre kraven de vanligaste energistandardena ställer, vilket innebär att byggnaden är osedvanligt energieffektiv. Om alla lokaler som fick bygglov i Sverige 2015 hade byggts med samma energiprestanda som denna byggnad så hade det gått åt 392 GWh /år , medan om de istället byggts enligt BBRs standard så hade energiåtgången blivit 1098 GWh /år (exklusive verksamhetsel). Även om olika lokaler har olika behov och krav så ger det en fingervisning av besparingspotentialen. Syftet med byggnaden var att det skulle bli en förebild för framtida energisnåla projekt, vilket det också blev när Vegaskolan i Vännäs byggdes efter samma koncept. På det hela taget är Hedlunda förskola en byggnad med hög energiprestanda.At Hedlunda in Umeå, there’s a building complex containing a combined preschool, canteen and catering kitchen. It was built in 2014 and the preschool started up the same year. Sweco projected the building to satisfy the requisites required for the international passive house certification. The building was also supposed to meet specific requirements for specialized pedagogy, and requirements for non-toxic building materials in preschools, amongst others. In this master thesis the building’s energy usage was studied to see if the building met the requested requirements, and how close the estimated energy demand was to the actual demand. The purchased energy was also compared to energy requirements used by other certification systems used in Sweden today. The building meets the international passive house requirement for the annual heating demand, but breaches the requirement for primary energy value by 4 %. The Swedish passive house requirement is met with a significant margin. The purchased energy per square meter was 43 kWh /m2 year , which differed only marginally from the projected value of 41 kWh /m2 year . It may seem as if it was a very good estimation of the purchased energy, but when the factors are studied individually there are differences among them that go up to 60 %. The purchased energy per square meter was lower than all of the other requirements in other energy certification systems which proves that this is a highly efficient building. The building was created with the main purpose of serving as a model for energy efficient buildings, and it has served its purpose since Vegaskolan in Vännäs was built within the same concept. All in all, Hedlunda preschool is a building with a very good energy performance. If all public buildings who gained building permit in 2015 in Sweden had been built with the same energy efficiency as Hedlunda preschool, then the total energy demand would be 392 GWh /year , whereas if they were built as the BBR-standard the corresponding energy demand would be 1098 GWh /year . This is just a rough estimation to give a hint of the amount of energy that can be saved.

Full textAbstract:
Les projets d’aménagement urbain provoquent de plus en plus d’inquiétudes et de mobilisations spontanées, qui créent des tensions sur les conditions de prise de décision. L’action publique se heurte à des résistances tant dans sa conception que sa réalisation. Et dans un contexte où la participation citoyenne à l’élaboration des projets tend à devenir un nouveau mode de gouvernance, les riverains ne veulent plus que leurs rôles se limitent aux simples « pourvoyeurs » des avis. S’appropriant l’espace public et les dispositifs participatifs, ils aspirent non seulement à l’expression de leurs opinions, mais aussi à une confrontation des expertises. C’est dans ce cadre-là que s’inscrit le projet de la ligne B du métro dans la métropole rennaise. Ayant appris l’hypothèse d’une insertion aérienne du métro entre les deux étangs dans leur quartier – les Longs Champs -, les riverains se sont mobilisés pour exprimer leur désaccord. Compte tenu de l’ampleur de cette mobilisation, le maître d’ouvrage décida d’organiser une « concertation spécifique » à l’issue de laquelle le projet métropolitain a été retenu aux dépens des projets « habitants » et « urbaniste ». Notre thèse a pour objectifs d’examiner les collectifs d’ habitants des Longs Champs pour essayer d’appréhender la rationalisation organisationnelle dans une action collective orientée vers un objectif commun; explorer les enjeux sociopolitiques et infocommunicationnels des dispositifs participatifs ; interroger les modes de production des savoirs profanes dans une perspective de confrontation des légitimités concernant l’élaboration et la mise en oeuvre d’un projet d’intérêt généralUrban planning projects lead to more and more waves of public concern and spontaneous mobilization, which lead to tensions surrounding the way decisions are made. Public action sees its conception and implementation be faced with obstacles. And in a context where citizens’ participation in the development of projects seems to be new mode of governance, residents no longer want their role to be limited to that of a simple “opinions provider”. Using the public space and participatory tools, they expect to be able to express their opinion, and also for different surveys to be confronted. It is whiting this framework that Rennes’s B line is being examined. Having learnt of the possibility of there being an overground portion of the line between two ponds in the Longs Champs district, the residents gathered to voice their disagreement.Because of the scale of the mobilization, the project owner decided to organize a “specific consultation” after which the metropolitan project was adopted at the expense of “residential” and “urbanist” projects. The objectives of our thesis are to examine the residents’ groups, to try and grasp the organizational rationalization of collective action aiming towards a common goal; to explore the sociopolitical and communicational issues of participatory tools; to question the production methods of knowledges in the perspective of confroncting legitimate opinions regarding the elaboration and implementation of a project of general interest

Full textAbstract:
Professional competencies are explicitly identified in the primary learning outcomes for science and engineering degrees at many tertiary institutions. Fulfillment of the requirements to equip our students with these skills, while formally acknowledged as important by all stakeholders, can be hard to demonstrate in practice. Most degree awarding institutions would have difficulties if asked to document where in degree programs such competencies are developed. The work in this thesis addresses the issue of professional competencies from several angles. The Open-Ended Group Project (OEGP) concept is introduced and proposed as an approach to constructing learning environments in which students’ development of professional competencies can be stimulated and assessed. Scholarly, research-based development of the IT in Society course unit (ITiS) is described and analyzed in order to present ideas for tailoring OEGP-based course units towards meeting learning objectives related to professional competence. Work in this thesis includes an examination of both the meanings attributed to the term professional competencies, and methods which can be used to assess the competencies once they are agreed on. The empirical work on developing ITiS is based on a framework for educational research, which has been both refined and extended as an integral part of my research. The action research methodology is presented and concrete examples of implementations of different pedagogical interventions, based on the methodology, are given. The framework provides support for relating a theoretical foundation to studies, or development, of learning environments. The particular theoretical foundation for the examples in this thesis includes, apart from the action research methodology, constructivism, conceptual change, threshold concepts, communities of practice, ill-structured problem solving, the reflective practicum, and problem based learning. The key finding in this thesis is that development and assessment of professional competencies is not a pipe dream. Assessment can be accomplished, and the OEGP concept provides a flexible base for creating an appropriate learning environment for this purpose.Felaktigt tryckt som Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 738
