Abstract:
Dagli anni ottanta ad oggi, in opposizione ad un turismo sempre più di massa, si è sviluppata l’idea di un turismo responsabile, ovvero un turismo che oltre ai fini meramente economici salvaguardi anche l’ambiente e la dignità dell’uomo e dei lavoratori. Se in Italia gli enti nazionali ufficiali tendono ancora ad ignorare l’opzione di turismo responsabile, in Germania la DTV, ovvero l’ente nazionale del turismo, ha redatto nel 2013 una dichiarazione di intenti nella quale si esplicita la volontà dell’associazione di tutelare l’ambiente e la tradizione culturale delle mete turistiche. Questo elaborato consiste in una proposta di traduzione dal tedesco all’italiano dell’opuscolo Positionspapier, con una fase introduttiva di analisi del testo e descrizione di approccio traduttivo e una fase conclusiva di commento alle opzioni traduttive adottate in punti particolarmente problematici.

Abstract:
Aquest estudi situa les accions passives al bell mig de la nostra capacitat d’actuar. Són accions passives aquelles que el subjecte experimenta com a alguna cosa que li succeeix. Tot i que la majoria de les accions van acompanyades d'aquesta experiència, l'explicació de les accions passives entra en conflicte amb importants intuïcions sobre què és actuar. Una acció és quelcom que fa un subjecte, i fer quelcom està, generalment, en oposició amb allò que succeeix al subjecte. Així, l’experiència de passivitat sembla amenaçar allò que és essencial a l’acció, el fet que el subjecte fa una acció. Pot una acció ser alhora quelcom que un individu fa i quelcom que li succeeix? En els capítols 1 i 2 presento dues estratègies diferents per explicar les accions passives. La primera considera que fer una acció és incompatible amb un mecanisme passiu. Bach, Searle i Pacherie modifiquen teories clàssiques de l’acció, segons les quals la persona que té la intenció d'una acció causa l’acció, mitjançant la substitució de la persona per una representació de moviments corporals. Una segona estratègia considera que les anomenades ‘accions passives’ són el resultat d’un procés diferent del procés que té com a resultat una acció. Clark proposa que un sistema neuronal visuomotor resulta en moviments corporals que són accions i que la persona experimenta de manera passiva. També analitzo la proposta de Dreyfus, que presenta una relació bàsica entre l’entorn i el subjecte que té com a resultat que el cos es mogui de manera activa. Atès que aquesta relació no està basada en la voluntat del subjecte (o en alguna cosa semblant), pot explicar l’experiència de passivitat. Tanmateix, atès el marc teòric que Dreyfus utilitza, el seu model només explica aquelles accions que responen al medi. El model de Dreyfus també té problemes a l'hora d'explicar com es pot controlar i modificar l’acció. En el capítol 3, exploro una nova manera d’explicar les accions passives relacionant-les amb la dimensió bàsica de l’acció, que apareix quan es discuteix el fenomen de les accions no bàsiques. Les accions no bàsiques són aquelles que estan fetes mitjançant una altra acció, i les accions bàsiques son aquelles que s’introdueixen per aturar la possible regressió que es produiria si totes les accions fossin no bàsiques. Argumento que tant les accions passives com les accions bàsiques existeixen perquè les accions es fan movent el cos. En el capítol 4 exploro, en conseqüència, el que diferents teories diuen sobre els moviments d’una acció. Primerament analitzo la proposta de Bargh que sosté que mecanismes subpersonals causen moviments. Una segona teoria, argumentada de maneres diferents per Steward i Hornsby, proposa que els moviments corporals són el resultat d’una relació especial que té la persona amb el seu cos (que és diferent de la seva relació amb l’acció). Cap d’aquestes teories no aconsegueix d'explicar satisfactòriament el fet que aquests moviments són moviments actius. En el capítol 5, presento una proposta positiva. La meva proposta és que els moviments d’una acció són el resultat d’una tendència del cos a moure’s. Des d'aquesta perspectiva, als moviments no els cal la realització d'una acció per tal que siguin els moviments d'una acció: ho són de manera bàsica. Aquesta proposta no resulta, però, en una teoria en la qual la intenció del subjecte no hi tingui cap paper, atès que la tendència d’un cos a moure’s pot satisfer el patró de moviments relatius a una intenció. Tanmateix, les intencions no serien essencials per a l'acció la relació entre acció i intenció seria indirecte i mediada per la tendència del cos a moure’s.
This dissertation places passive actions at the heart of our capacity to act. Passive actions are those actions which the subject experiences as something which happens to them. Although most actions are accompanied by this experience, the explanation of passive actions is in tension with important intuitions about what it is to act. Actions are what a subject performs, and performing something is opposed, normally, to mere happenings. The experience of passivity seems thus to threaten what is essential to acts, the fact that the subject performs an action. Can an action be, at the same time, something performed by the subject and something which happens to her? In chapters 1 and 2 I present two different strategies to explain passive actions. One strategy considers that the performance of an action is not incompatible with a passive mechanism. Bach, Searle and Pacherie modify standard theories of action, according to which the subject who intends an action causes it, by substituting for this subject a representation of bodily movements which cause actions. A second strategy considers that the so-called ‘passive actions’ result from a process different from the process which results in actions. Clark proposes that a visuomotor neural system results in bodily movements which are an action and which the subject experiences passively. I also explored Dreyfus’ view. He presents a basic relation between the environment and the subject which results in the body actively moving. Since this relation is not grounded in the subject’s will (or something analogous), it can explain the experience of passivity. However, because of the theoretical framework Dreyfus uses, his model only explains environmentally-driven actions. Dreyfus’ model has also problems when it comes to taking into account the subject who controls and can modify the action. In Chapter 3, I explore a novel way of approaching passive actions which considers whether it is possible to relate passive actions to the basic dimension of action, which is introduced when discussing non-basic actions. Non-basic actions are those actions which are performed through or by performing another action and basic actions are those actions which stop the possible regress that might occur if all actions were non-basic. I argue that both phenomena exist, since actions are performed by moving the body. In Chapter 4, I explore thus what different theories claim about the movements involved in an action. First, I explore the view of Bargh, who claims that sub-personal mechanisms result in movements. The second view, proposed in different ways by Steward and Hornsby, is that bodily movements are the result of engagement of the agent with their body (different from their engagement with the action). Neither view manages to explain the fact that the movements are agential movements. In Chapter 5, I present my own positive view. According to this view, the movements of an action are the result of a tendency of a body to move. Presented in this way, the movements do not require the performance of an action in order for them to be the movements of an action: they are the movements of an action in a basic way. This yields an explanation of the movements which is not grounded in the will of the subject. This view does not result in a picture in which intentions play no role, since this tendency of a body to move might satisfy a pattern of movements related to intentions. However, intentions would not be something essential for action, and the relation between action and intention would be indirect and mediated by the tendency of a body to move.

Abstract:
The human factor has been detected as the weakest link in the information security of organizations. Methods like training and awareness programs and the implementation of security policies have been developed, but they still seem to be less effective than desired. Authors have suggested integrating information security more holistically in organizations. In this study we discuss how strategic intent can influence an information security culture and improve information security behavior, thereby strengthening the weakest link. This thesis aims to develop a conceptual framework for organizations to integrate behavioral information security holistically with strategic intent. This thesis is based on a qualitative study with an abductive approach consisting of nine exploratory, semi-structured interviews. This way we could find today’s most prominent factors that might reinforce information security behavior in organizations and discuss the interrelations among those factors together with their potential facilitators and barriers. To improve behavioral InfoSec holistically in organizations, strategic Intent and InfoSec culture are promising factors. All factors have clear interrelations, but also potential facilitators and barriers.

É bem conhecida a influência da música no desempenho do exercício no domínio moderado e nos estados de ânimo. Poucos estudos investigaram essa relação em exercícios no domínio intenso e severo. Além disso, a audição de música é bastante disseminada entre praticantes de atividade física, os quais devem selecionar músicas de acordo com suas preferências pessoais. Entretanto, a relação entre a preferência musical e o desempenho e o estado de ânimo não está esclarecido. Desse modo, dois estudos foram propostos. O objetivo do estudo 1 foi de verificar a influência da audição da música preferida e não preferida no desempenho, nas respostas fisiológicas, na percepção subjetiva de esforço (PSE) e nos estados de ânimo em exercícios no domínio severo no cicloergômetro. O objetivo do estudo 2 foi de verificar a influência da audição da música preferida e não preferidas nas mesmas variáveis do estudo 1 em exercícios no domínio intenso no cicolergômetro. No primeiro estudo foram determinados os parâmetros da Potência Crítica (PCrit) em diferentes protocolos, Música Preferida (MP), Não Preferida (NP) e Sem Música (SM). Foram submetidos para o estudo quatro mulheres e seis homens. Após ouvirem ou não a música os sujeitos realizaram o aquecimento e o teste. Foram avaliados a Freqüência Cardíaca (FC), concentração de lactato sanguíneo [LAc]s, PSE e estado de ânimo. A FC, PSE, [LAC]s e os parâmetros da PCrit não apresentaram diferença estatística para os três diferentes protocolos. Porém os estados de ânimo para os adjetivos positivos apresentaram maiores valores no momento da fadiga para a MP. Conclui-se que a audição da música preferida só é capaz de influenciar os estados de ânimo no domínio severo. Participaram do estudo 2, cinco mulheres e seis homens,os quais foram submetidos a 2 protocolos de teste. No primeiro foi obtido os...
The music influence in the performance, in moderate exercise and mood states has already been well elucidated in literature. However, some studies have found improvement in these variables in the intense and severe exercise. Besides, listening to music is enough disseminated among physical activity apprentices, who can select music in accordance to their personal preferences. However, the relation musical preference between the performance and mood state is not explained. Therefore, two goals were proposed. The first study was to analyze the influence of listening preferred and non-preferred music considering the performance, physiologic responses, Rating Perceived Exertion (RPE) and mood states in the severe exercise on ergometer cycle. The second goal was to analyze the influence of listening preferred and non-preferred music according to the same variables of the first goal, but in the intense exercise on the ergometer cycle. The study one determined Critical Power model parameters (CP) in different protocols, Preferred Music (PM), Non- Preferred Music (NP) and Without Music (WM). Four women and six men were submitted to the study. After listening or not to the music the subjects carried out the warm-up and the test. The Heart Rate (HR), Blood Concentration Lactate ([LA]), RPE and mood states were examined. Significant differences were not found in HR, [LA], RPE and CP parameters. However, the data showed that the positive mood states in fatigue moment was higher in PM than in NP and WM. The data also showed that the audition of the preferred music is only able to influence the mood state in severe exercise. Four women and six men were submitted on the second study. CP parameters were determined across the two loads after two tests (Load CP and Load below CP). In this study, the HR, [LA], RPE and mood states were examined during twenty minutes...

Neste estudo foram radiografadas articulações coxofemorais de seis cães adultos, de duas raças, provenientes de dois Canis da Polícia Militar em três momentos, no período de um ano. Para predizer sobre a influência do exercício sobre a displasia coxofemoral, em estudo retrospectivo, correspondente a um período de oito anos, foram reavaliadas radiografias de 259 cães displásicos procurando estabelecer, entre outras variáveis, as diferentes modalidades de lesões radiográficas visibilizadas nesta afecção, considerando que estes animais, por informações pessoais de seus proprietários, não eram expostos rotineiramente a exercícios físicos. Na fase experimental, a raça Pastor Alemão foi a única acometida, a articulação esquerda se mostrou com maiores alterações e as lesões se mantiveram constantes nos três momentos. Na fase retrospectiva, os animais mais afetados eram das raças Rottweiler, Pastor Alemão e SRD e com mais de cinco anos de idade. O porcentual de machos e fêmeas afetados foi semelhante e o acometimento da displasia coxofemoral foi quase sempre bilateral e com grau de lesões simétrico. Pode-se concluir que o exercício não foi fator de progressão para cães com displasia coxofemoral. Se supervisionado, mesmo intenso, pode ser bastante benéfico para as articulações coxofemorais
In this study, the hip joints of six adult dogs of two breeds, from two kennels belonging to the military police were radiographed three times in one year. To predict the influence of exercise on hip dysplasia, 259 radiographs of dysplastic dogs were reviewed in a retrospective study corresponding to a period of eight years trying to establish, among other variables, all types of radiographic lesions found in this condition since these animals, according to personal information of the owners, were not routinely exposed to physical exercise. In the experimental phase of this study, the German Shepherd Dog was the only affected breed, the left joint showed more alterations and lesions remained constant in the three evaluations. In the retrospective phase, the most affected dogs were Rottweiler, German Shepherd Dog and crossbreeds and the most affected were older than five years of age. The percentage of affected males and females was similar and the involvement of hip dysplasia was mainly bilateral and the degree of injury was mostly symmetrical. It can be concluded that the exercise was not a progress factor for dogs with hip dysplasia. If supervised, even when intense, exercise can be quite beneficial for hip joints

Abstract:
Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide stipulates the definition of the crime. A key element of genocide is the criterion of “intent”; this requisite must be met in order to determine criminal liability. Even though “intent” is a paramount element of the crime neither definition nor guidance regarding its interpretation is provided for under Article II, this void of interpretation is absolute throughout the Genocide Convention. Hence, the purpose of this thesis is to examine this void in the provision. In order to fulfill the purpose of this thesis the following research questions have been regarded: How is the requisite intent defined in relevant preparatory work of Genocide Convention? How is the requisite intent interpreted in relevant case law and judicial doctrines and are these interpretations in line with the preparatory work of the Genocide Convention? Is the definition and interpretation of the requisite intent in the abovementioned legal sources consistent with the object and purpose of the Genocide Convention? We found that in the preparatory work of the Genocide Convention, the requisite intent has not been labeled. However, the Drafters definition of intent is in accordance with international criminal law’s definition of specific intent. Also, the case law and judicial doctrines that we have examined all fall within either the purpose-based or the knowledge-based approach. Both approaches acknowledge that a perpetrator needs to possess an inner aim or desire to meet the level of intent required for the Crime. Notwithstanding, the knowledge-based approach holds that “policy or plan” is part of the Crime whereas the purpose-based approach rejects it and consequently the application of genocidal intent is distinctively different. With regard to preparatory work, the purpose-based approach is in line with the definition of the Drafters whereas the knowledge-based approach is not in its literal meaning. However, the Drafters did not explicitly reject the knowledge-based approach in the preparatory work of the Genocide Convention. We have concluded that the purpose-based approach is not consistent with the object and purpose of the Genocide Convention. We hold that the knowledge-based approach is in line with the object and purpose of the Genocide Convention, and hence this approach upholds the goal of preventing and punishing genocide. Moreover, the method for this thesis is in accordance with the method in international law for interpretations of international treaties; the Vienna Convention on the law of Treaties. Hence, the selection, systemization and interpretation of legal sources are in line with the Vienna Convention.

Abstract:
Introducción: Los intentos de suicidio médicamente graves (ISMG) representan un subgrupo dentro de la conducta suicida que comparte características con el suicidio consumado. No obstante, su estudio proporciona información más precisa sobre las variables asociadas con el riesgo de suicidio. Pocos estudios se han llevado a cabo hasta el momento en España con este tipo de población. Además, la hipótesis de que los ISMG son un grupo homogéneo desde el punto de vista clínico aún no ha sido contrastada. Objetivos: 1) describir el perfil clinico y socio-demográfico de una muestra de pacientes con ISMG y las características de sus intentos de suicidio; y, 2) identificar subgrupos de pacientes con ISMG según la gravedad del intento, el método empleado y la presencia de psicopatología (excluyendo la presencia de trastornos adaptativos). Metodología: Se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional transversal con 168 pacientes que habían llevado a cabo un ISMG y que habían sido ingresados por causa médica en dos Hospitales Generales de Barcelona durante al menos 48 horas. Se usó el análisis univariante para describir la muestra y el bivariante y multivariante para examinar el resto de hipótesis. Resultados: No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre nuestra muestra y la de otros estudios en cuanto a: sexo, prevalencia de trastornos mentales, especialmente trastornos afectivos y principal método suicida (intoxicación medicamentosa). No obstante, los pacientes en nuestra muestra permanecían más tiempo hospitalizados, tenían más eventos estresantes antes del intento, referían más intentos de suicidio previos y tenían intentos más impulsivos que los descritos en otros estudios. Se encontraron pocas diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los sub-grupos de ISMG en cuanto a: gravedad del intento, método empleado y presencia de diagnóstico psiquiátrico diferente de trastorno adaptativo. Así, los pacientes ingresados en Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) escogían más frecuentemente el envenenamiento y/o los cortes y tenían más probabilidad de tener antecedentes psiquiátricos previos que los que ingresaban en otras unidades. Los pacientes con intentos violentos llevaban a cabo intentos más planificados y tenían más probabilidad de tener una enfermedad médica que los que escogían otros métodos. Respecto al diagnóstico psiquiátrico, la única diferencia entre grupos era la mayor probabilidad de presentar una enfermedad médica aguda en los que tenían un trastorno adaptativo o no tenían psicopatología frente a los que tenían otros diagnósticos psiquiátricos. Conclusiones: Los ISMG en medio urbano en nuestro país son comparables a los observados en sociedades similares a la nuestra. Hacen falta más estudios para comprobar si los ISMG constituyen una población heterogénea desde el punto de vista clínico.
Introduction: Medically serious suicide attempts (MSSA) may represent a subgroup of suicidal behavior that shares some similarities with completed suicide. However, its study gives more accurate information with regards to the variables associated with fatal suicidal risk. Few studies have been conducted in Spain with this population so far. Moreover, MSSA have generally been considered a homogenous group from the clinical point of view but this hypothesis needs to be tested. Objectives: 1) to describe the clinical and socio-demographic profile of a sample of patients with MSSA and the suicidiological features of their attempts; and, 2) to identify sub-groups of MSSA patients according to the severity of the attempt, the suicide method, and the presence of psychopathology (excluding adjustment disorders). Methodology: A cross-sectional exploratory study was conducted with 168 patients who had a MSSA and who were admitted to two General Hospitals in Barcelona during more than 48 hours for medical reasons. We used univariate analysis to describe the sample and bivariate and multivariate analysis to examine the rest of hypotheses. Results: No differences were found between our sample and other studies’ with regards to: gender, prevalence of mental disorders, especially affective disorders; and, main suicidal method (drug overdose). However, patients in our sample spent more time hospitalized, had more previous stressful events, reported more prior suicide attempts and made more impulsive attempts compared to those who participated in other research studies. Few statistically significant differences were found in ISMG sub-groups with regards to: severity of the attempt, method and presence of diagnostic conditions other than adjustment disorders. Patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) were more likely to choose self-poisoning and cutting as suicidal method and to have had prior mental health problems compared to non-ICU patients. Subjects who chose violent methods were more likely to suffer from medical conditions and had more planned suicide attempts. Finally, only current acute medical condition before the MSSA made the difference with respect to the presence of DSM-IV-TR diagnoses (other than adjustment disorders) among ISMG patients. Conclusions: MSSA in urban areas in our country may be comparable to those observed in similar societies. More studies are needed to test if MSSA is a clinically heterogeneous group of suicidal patients.

Abstract:
A presente pesquisa apresenta uma análise da dinâmica espacial e temporal dos eventos intensos de precipitação na bacia hidrográfica do rio Piracicaba, no período de 1981 a 2010, com dados de 51 postos pluviométricos mantidos na região pelo Departamento de Águas e Energia Elétrica (DAEE) e pela Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA) e a Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ). A partir do limiar de 94 mm em 24 horas, obtido por meio da adaptação do método box plot, foi possível estabelecer áreas de maior ocorrência de eventos e buscar possíveis relações com outros elementos climáticos e geomorfológicos. Verificou-se que o setor centro-leste da bacia hidrográfica recebeu a maior quantidade de chuvas intensas no período estudado. Através do mapa de ocorrência desses fenômenos pode-se perceber a influência do relevo nessa dinâmica já que se trata do início do planalto Atlântico com altitudes de aproximadamente 1800 metros. Suscetíveis a grande quantidade de sistemas frontais e ZCAS, podemos atribuir a variabilidade desses eventos, em sua maioria, a esses sistemas já que predominaram no verão e primavera, justamente o maior período de ocorrência desses fenômenos. Posteriormente buscou-se verificar possíveis associações entre as características pluviométricas do local e a metodologia dos anos padrão. Após a análise desses elementos, pode-se perceber que existe uma boa relação entre os períodos considerados chuvosos e habituais e os eventos de chuva intensa, já que nesses anos obtivemos grande quantidade de precipitações intensas. Por fim, foi realizado o estudo de caso de dois eventos de precipitação que tiveram grande magnitude horária. As consequências em superfície, ficaram evidentes como por exemplo, inundações e alagamentos, representadas por meio de recortes de notícias de jornal de dias posteriores ao evento.
This research presents an analysis of the dynamics of intense precipitation events in the basin of Piracicaba river in the period from 1981 to 2010 with data from 50 rain gauges in the region maintained by the Department of Water and Power (DAEE), the National Water Agency (ANA) and Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ) . Through the method of integrated analysis, it was the spatiality and variability of events in the study area, looking for possible explanations for the occurrence of these phenomena. From the threshold of 94 mm in 24 hours, obtained by adapting the box plot method, it was possible to establish areas of higher incidence of events and seek possible relationships with other climatic and geomorphological elements. It was found that the central-eastern sector of the basin received the highest amount of heavy rains during the study period. Through the occurrence of these phenomena map one can see the influence of relief in this dynamic since it is the beginning of the Atlantic plateau with altitudes of about 1800 meters. Susceptible to large amount of frontal systems and ZCAS, we can attribute the variability of these events, for the most part, these systems since prevailed in the summer and spring, just the greatest period of occurrence of these systems. Later he sought to investigate possible associations with rainfall characteristics of the site with the methodology of standard years. After analyzing these elements, one can see that there is a good relationship between rainy periods considered and intense rainfall events, since in those years got lots of heavy rainfall. Finally, the study was conducted in the case of two intense precipitation events that had great hourly magnitude. The consequences surface, were evident such as floods and flooding, represented through newspaper news clippings of days after the event.

Abstract:
Introducció: el suïcidi és la segona causa de mort en la població jove en el món i la principal causa de mort en els joves entre els 13 i 20 anys a l'Equador. El principal objectiu és investigar l'impacte del sexe en les característiques dels intents suïcides a Quito (Equador). Mètodes: Es tracta d'un estudi transversal de casos-controls. La mostra de la tesi està composta per 74 subjectes (65% de dones i 35% d'homes), 37 casos amb intent de suïcidi i 37 controls, aparellats entre si per edat i sexe, als quals se'ls van aplicar el qüestionari revisat de personalitat d'Eysenck (EPQR-a), la Llista d'Esdeveniments Vitals Estressants (LTE), el Qüestionari d'Afrontament a l'Estrès (CAE) i l'Entrevista de Columbia per Avaluar el Risc de Suïcidi (CSSRS). Anàlisi estadística: per comparar les variables sociodemogràfiques es van usar la χ² i la prova U de Mann Whitney per per a les variables categòriques i les variables ordinals, respectivament. Es van analitzar les diferències entre els homes i les dones amb intent de suïcidi mitjançant la prova χ², la t d'Student i el coeficient de correlació de Pearson. Finalment, es van dur a terme anàlisis de regressió múltiple lineals amb el mètode de passos successius. Es va usar el el paquet estadístic SPSS 24.0, assumint un nivell de significació estadística del 5%. Resultats: els factors més rellevants en els intents de suïcidi van ser: 1) a les dones: el neuroticisme, l'expressió emocional oberta i ser víctima d'agressió; 2) en els homes: el nivell d'ingressos, treball, la religió, la recerca de suport social, la reavaluació positiva i l'agressió. Discussió: els homes i dones que van intentar el suïcidi en la nostra mostra presenten diferències clíniques que podrien ser explicades per diferències de rol.

Finalmente, se llevaron a cabo análisis de regresión múltiple lineales con el método de pasos sucesivos. Se usó el paquete estadístico SPSS 24.0, asumiendo un nivel de significación estadística del 5%. Resultados: Los factores más relevantes en los intentos de suicidio fueron: 1) en las mujeres: el neuroticismo, la expresión emocional abierta y ser víctima de agresión; 2) en los hombres: el nivel de ingresos, trabajo, la religión, la búsqueda de apoyo social, la reevaluación positiva y la agresión. Conclusión: Los hombres y mujeres que intentaron el suicidio en nuestra muestra presentan diferencias clínicas que podrían ser explicadas por diferencias de rol de género.
Introduction: Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people around the world and the main of cause of death of individuals between the ages of 13 and 20, in Ecuador. The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the impact of sex in the characteristics of suicide attempts in Quito (Ecuador). Method: A case-control study was conducted. The sample is composed of 74 subjects (65% female and 35% male), 37 cases with suicide attempts were compared with a control group of 37, matched by age and sex. Several tests were applied: Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised-Abbreviated (EPQR-A), List of Threatening Experiences (LTE), Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ), and the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). Statistical Analysis: To compare the socio-demographic variables, two tests were employed: the χ² for categorical variables and the Mann–Whitney U for ordinal variables. Differences between males and females with suicide attempts were analyzed by applying the χ² test, Student’s t-test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient. To conclude, a multiple linear and stepwise regression analysis was applied. The software package SPSS 24.0 was used with the level of statistical significance of 5%. Results: The most relevant factors in suicide attempts were: 1) Females: neuroticism, open emotional expressions and being victims of aggression; 2) Males: income level, work, religion, search for social support, positive reinforcement, and aggression. Conclusion: Males and females who attempted suicide in our sample show different clinical characteristics that could be explained through gender roles differences.

Abstract:
I denna uppsats är huvudsyftet att analysera när förhandlingsinstrumentet Letter of Intent kan få rättsverkningar. Genom analysen framkommer det att dokument i sig inte är juridiskt bindande, eftersom att det inte uppfyller rekvisiten som krävs för att en rättslig handling ska föreligga. Emellertid framkommer det av analysen att ett Letter of Intent kan bli bindande beroende på olika omständigheter. Dokumentet får i dessa fall verkan av ett avtal.Utifrån praxis ser vi att det finns en lojalitetsplikt under förhandlingarna. Beroende på omständigheterna visar det sig att en part inte kan dra sig ur förhandlingarna om inte godtagbara skäl kan påvisas, utan att det ska få rättsverkningar. Ett Letter of Intent kan stärka lojalitetsplikten i och med att sådant dokument gör det lättare att påvisa att plikten är bruten. En annan effekt dokumentet medför, som inte innebär en rättslig sådan, är den moraliska pressen. Det har visat sig att kontrahenter kan känna moraliskt tvång att fullfölja affär på grund av att ett Letter of Intent är undertecknat. Vi kommer fram till att sådant tvång bland annat måste bero på att företag inte vill förlora sitt anseende inför potentiella partners.Det sekundära syftet i denna uppsats är att ta reda på om Letter of Intent är användbart eller till och med avgörande för ett avtals ingående i praktiken. Genom intervjuer med jurister kommer vi fram till att det kan vara ett användbart instrument vid om användningen sker på ett korrekt sätt. Utan juridisk kunskap blir det dessvärre inte lika tydligt vad dokumentets juridiska innebörd är. Det är således bättre att ha en jurist till hjälp vid upprättandet av Letter of Intent.Letter of Intent är ett bra förhandlingsprocessuellt hjälpmedel om det används på ett korrekt sätt. Dokumentet bör bemästras av personer med juridiska kunskaper så att oönskade rättsverkningar kan undvikas.

Abstract:
Dans le but de comprendre ce qui pousse les entrepreneurs à agir, les chercheurs en entrepreneuriat utilisent depuis des décennies les modèles de l’intention dans leurs études. Les plus célèbres sont la Théorie de l’Action Planifiée d’Azjen et l’Evènement Entrepreneurial de Shapero et Sokol. Cependant, ces modèles restent perfectibles. En effet, ils partent du principe que l’intention est un bon prédicateur du comportement, alors que seules moins de la moitié des variations des comportements entrepreneuriaux sont explicables par l’intention. De plus, les modèles de l’intention se concentrent uniquement sur les antécédents de l’intention. La partie motivationnelle (le « pourquoi ») est donc couverte, mais la partie volitionnelle (le « comment ») est oubliée.Notre thèse, qui se compose de quatre travaux, a pour ambition de parer à ce manquement, dans le but de parfaire notre compréhension du processus entrepreneurial. Notre objectif est de mettre en lumière des facilitateurs qui permettraient de passer effectivement de l’intention à l’action. Nous relevons donc le défi de dévoiler en partie la boîte noire qui se trouve entre intention et comportement entrepreneurial. Nous avons sélectionné l’engagement et l’intention planifiée dans la littérature de socio-psychologie comme étant les chaînons manquants possibles, et nous les avons testés en contextes entrepreneuriaux.Ainsi, en se concentrant sur la partie volitionnelle, notre thèse complète les modèles de l’intention dans le but d’améliorer nos connaissances du processus entrepreneurial. Elle vise à servir les porteurs de projets, les politiques, les enseignants et les différents acteurs de suivi des entrepreneurs. En effet, tous peuvent utiliser ce que nous avons mis en lumière pour augmenter le taux de conversion de l’intention entrepreneuriale. Notre objectif est de manière générale de proposer de la matière nouvelle pour aider les porteurs de projets à concrétiser leurs intentions.Cependant, la taille de nos échantillons limite nos études empiriques à des études exploratoires. Nos résultats devront maintenant être confirmés de manière quantitative
In order to understand what leads individuals to create new ventures, entrepreneurship researchers use intention models in their studies for decades. The most famous are the Theory of Planned Behavior of Azjen and the Entrepreneurial Event of Shapero and Sokol. However, these models are still perfectible. In fact, they stem from the fact that intentions predict behaviors, but only less than half of variance of entrepreneurial behaviors is explained by intention. Moreover, intention models only focus on the antecedents of intention. So the motivational part (why one acts) is addressed, but the volitional part (how to pursue actions) remains set aside.Our thesis, composed of four pieces of work, aims at addressing this gap in order to improve our understanding of the entrepreneurial process. Our objective is to shed light on facilitators that can lead from intentions to effective action. We thus took on the challenge of unveiling part of the missing links between entrepreneurial intention and behavior. We selected commitment and implementation intention in the socio-psychological literature as being the possible missing links, and we test them in entrepreneurial contexts.Thus by focusing on the volitional part, our thesis completes the intention models in order to improve our knowledge of the entrepreneurial process. It has implications for intended entrepreneurs themselves, politicians, educators and incubators. Indeed, they could use what we have learnt about commitment and implementation intention to enhance the entrepreneurial intention conversion rate. Generally speaking, our goal is to propose new materials to help intended entrepreneurs to enact their intentions.However, the size of our samples limits our empirical studies to exploratory papers. Further researches should now test our findings quantitatively

Abstract:
The use of Simulation in the design and development process is rapidly increasing. Companies are simulating more processes and products, in an increasing number of ways. Also, there is a trend towards modelling much larger systems to more accurately capture complex physical interactions. One problem which remains unsolved is how these many types of analyses can be handled in an integrated and coherent manner alongside CAD technologies. In this work a concept termed 'Simulation Intent' is introduced which helps to alleviate the CAD/CAE integration problem. Simulation Intent captures the modelling and idealisation decisions required to create a fit-for-purpose analysis model. Simulation Intent is defined in a high-level manner, making it robust to significant changes in the base geometric model. Furthermore, multiple definitions of Simulation Intent can be applied to produce different analysis models which are all linked in a coherent manner to the base geometric model. Three technologies are integral to the concept; Cellular Modelling, Equivalencing and Virtual Topology. Given the novelty of the approach, multiple examples are provided to demonstrate its application. It is shown that by using Cellular Modelling, system interfaces can be easily extracted and used in analysis modelling. , These Cellular Models are created and stored through the use of Virtual Topology meaning the base topology of the original geometric model remains unperturbed. Equivalencing offers the ability to apply boundary conditions, loads and connections at multiple levels of detail and dimensionality. Some ideas for future work are presented, which may help to progress the concept to full industrial realisation. The application to Method's Engineering in large companies is highlighted as one significant operational benefit. Simulation Intent offers a way to directly apply the correct analysis methods in the correct situations.

Full text
Abstract:
Avec l’avènement progressif de l’ère industrielle, l’activité de l’homme a pesé de plus en plus négativement sur l’équilibre des milieux naturels. Il s’en est suivi la construction progressive d’un droit répressif de l’environnement, destiné à lutter contre les atteintes à la nature, mais chroniquement élaboré sur les bases même d’un dispositif de police administrative, un concept assis sur les fondements d’un droit résolument disciplinaire, structurellement et moralement insuffisant pour révéler une valeur essentielle. La responsabilité délictuelle ainsi que le régime de responsabilité environnementale visent à inventer de nouveaux concepts juridiques afin de réparer les atteintes à la nature, mais révèlent de nombreuses limites. Dans ce contexte, la norme pénale, se voulant surtout utilitariste, est à la fois auxiliaire d’un droit administratif et auxiliaire de normes réparatrices, et, demeure sans influence pour faire émerger la valeur réelle de l’intérêt protégé. Il ressort d'une telle analyse que la protection de la nature, en tant que valeur essentielle, ne peut être consacrée que par le recours à un droit pénal efficace établi sur les bases de fondements éthiques compris et acceptés par tous. Cette thèse de droit interne s’inscrit dans une démarche prospective qui voudrait concourir à un tel résultat en tentant de repenser et de restructurer le droit pénal spécial de l’environnement de manière à offrir au juge répressif la possibilité de porter un véritable jugement de valeur sur des atteintes désormais reconnues comme autodestructrices du genre humain lui-même
With the gradual advent of the industrial era, human activity has weighed more negatively on the balance of natural environments. This was followed by the gradual construction of a very repressive law for environment, intended to combat prejudice against nature, but chronically prepared on the very bases of administrative police, a seated concept on the basis of a resolutely disciplinary law, structurally and morally insufficient to reveal an essential value. Tort, as well as environmental liability regime aim to invent new legal concepts in order to redress the damage to nature, but they reveal many limitations.In this context, the criminal standard, meant to be especially utilitarian, is both an auxiliary of administrative right and an auxiliary of remedial standards, and remains without influence in bringing out the real value of the protected interest.It is such an analysis that the protection of nature, as an essential value, may be used only by recourse to an effective criminal law established on the bases of ethical foundations understood and accepted by everybody. This thesis of law fits into a forward-looking approach that would contribute to such an outcome by trying to rethink and restructure the special criminal law of the environment so as to offer the repressive judge the opportunity to exercise a true value judgment on self-destructive and now recognized violations of mankind itself

In doing so I shall critically consult and review the writings of various South African writers on the topic as well as the courts' handling of the test and its attendant practical and theoretical difficulties. For the sake of completeness and clarity certain other closely related issues will be explored, namely, whether the test for negligent delictual liability is applicable in criminal law, and the distinction between and nature of unlawfulness and mens rea in negligence crimes. These latter issues, which will not be developed as fully, serve as a necessary component of any discussion on the central question in this essay, namely, the justness and fairness of determining criminal negligence by means of the objective reasonable man test.

The knowledge of the relationship between intensity-duration-frequency (IDF relationship) of intense rainfall is of enormous importance for the design of engineering works. However, the availability of this data is limited, due to the scarcity of pluviographs data in Rio Grande do Sul (RS) or, when these exist, generally encompass small observation periods and/or with failures, which makes them useless to the determination of IDF relationships. In this scenario, we propose here to analyze the applicability in RS of the methodology suggested by Bell (1969) and Chen (1983). Bell (1969) proposed an equation for the entire planet, where intense rainfall, for any duration and return period, is determined based only on precipitation with return period of 10 years and duration of 1 hour, from anywhere we want determine. Bell (1969) is based on the fact that heavy rainfall are usually produced by convective systems that behave in a similar way regardless of the local of the precipitation. Numerous modifications of the methodology presented by Bell (1969) have already been carried out and presented as reliable results as Back (2009), Chen (1983), Ueahara et al. (1980) among others. In this study, the application of Bell s (1969) original equation, and some of his modifications was analyzed, introducing extra modifications still allowing its use with the rainfall data in RS. The results show that the methodologies of Bell (1969) and Chen (1983) are complementary because we obtained if good fits for durations shorter than 2 hours when applied Bell (1969) and when applied Chen (1983) presented best settings in durations greater than 2 hours. The biggest errors were found in the rainfall estimation for 2 years return period, because we also observed that both methodologies go through a heating process of the equation. To try and fill the entire State on the issue of intense rainfall, the regionalization of heavy rains in order to make more practical and reliable use, which presented good results only for the regions B, D and F, and in the other regions (A, C and E) the results were positive in only 60% of the sites studied.
O conhecimento das relações entre intensidade - duração - frequência (relação IDF) das chuvas intensas é de enorme importância para o projeto de obras de Engenharia. No entanto, a disponibilidade destes dados é limitada, devido à escassez de registros pluviográficos no Rio Grande do Sul (RS) ou, quando estes existem, geralmente abrangem pequenos períodos de observação e/ou com falhas, o que os torna sem utilidade para a determinação das relações IDF. Nesse cenário, se propõe aqui analisar a aplicabilidade no RS da metodologia sugerida por Bell (1969) e Chen (1983). Bell (1969) propôs uma equação para todo o planeta, onde a precipitação intensa, para qualquer duração e tempo de retorno, é determinada com base apenas na precipitação com tempo de retorno de 10 anos e duração de 1 hora, do local onde se quer determinar. A proposta de Bell se baseia no fato que chuvas intensas normalmente são produzidas por sistemas convectivos, que se comportam de forma semelhante independentemente do local da precipitação. Inúmeras modificações da metodologia apresentada por Bell (1969) já foram realizadas e apresentaram resultados confiáveis como Back (2009), Chen (1983), Ueahara et al. (1980) entre outros. Neste trabalho, avaliou-se a aplicação da equação de Bell (1969) original, e algumas de suas modificações, introduzindo ainda modificações extras que permitam a sua utilização com os dados pluviométricos existentes no RS. Os resultados mostram que as metodologias de Bell (1969) e Chen(1983) são complementares pois foram obtidos bons ajustes para durações menores que 2 horas quando aplicado Bell (1969) e enquanto Chen (1983) apresentaram melhores ajustes nas durações superiores a 2 horas. Os maiores erros foram encontrados na estimativa das precipitações para TR de 2 anos, pois observou-se também que ambas as metodologias passam por um processo de aquecimento da equação. Para tentar suprir todo o Estado na questão das precipitações intensas, realizou-se a regionalização das equações de chuvas intensas de forma a tornar mais prática e confiável a sua utilização, o qual apresentou bons resultados somente para as regiões B D e F, e nas demais regiões (A, C e E) os resultados foram positivos somente em 60 % dos locais estudados.

Abstract:
A Terapia Fotodinâmica (TFD) caracteriza-se por um conjunto de processos físicos, químicos e biológicos que ocorre após a administração de compostos fotossensibilizantes, que ficam retidos preferencialmente nos tecidos alterados, ao que se segue a irradiação com luz visível, ativando esses fotossensibilizadores (FS) por meio da absorção da luz. Nesta modalidade terapêutica, ocorrem mecanismos de transferência de energia entre o FS e o oxigênio molecular presente nos tecidos, gerando espécies reativas de oxigênio capazes de levar as células à morte. A TFD tem uma de suas principais aplicações no tratamento do câncer de pele, e este trabalho tem por objetivo otimizar tal aplicação utilizando a luz intensa pulsada (LIP) como sistema de irradiação. Na literatura, estudos demonstram a eficiência da aplicação de LIP na área dermatológica e estética na remoção de pelos, tratamento de lesões vasculares, acnes e no fotorejuvenescimento da pele, através de efeitos fotoquímicos e térmicos, mas não há relatos sobre aplicações terapêuticas para o câncer de pele. A aplicação da LIP em TFD leva a diferentes tipos de vantagens destacando-se a possibilidade de diminuição do tempo de tratamento, com consequente redução da dor durante o procedimento. Além disso a possibilidade de aplicação de misturas de FSs que absorvam em diferentes comprimentos de onda, promovendo a ativação simultânea de diferentes bandas de absorção que pode levar a potencialização do efeito da TFD. A ideia da irradiação com LIP é permitir a possibilidade de excitar diferentes bandas do FS simultaneamente, bem como reduzir os níveis de saturação do oxigênio dos tecidos devido a longos períodos de irradiação, minimizando também possíveis efeitos térmicos ocasionados pela irradiação prolongada. Neste trabalho, estudou-se a TFD com um equipamento comercial de LIP (Intense Pulse Light, HKS801) utilizando dois precursores do FS endógeno Protoporfirina (PpIX), 5-ácido aminolevulínico (ALA) e aminolevulinato de metila (M-ALA) e os FSs Photodithazine (PDZ) e Indocianina verde (ICV), em modelo de pele normal de suínos. As diferenças relativas à aplicação tópica de ALA e M-ALA por meio de creme e através da aplicação em sistema de injeção de alta pressão sem agulhas (SAFE INJECT) foram avaliadas. O sistema de injeção também foi utilizado para disponibilização dos FSs na pele. O estudo in vitro mostrou que a LIP interagiu com todos os FSs e levou à multiativação de suas bandas. Com relação aos estudos in vivo observou-se diferentes aspectos do uso da LIP para TFD. A avaliação de fluorescência mostrou que a distribuição por injeção foi mais homogênea, sugerindo a possibilidade de protocolos de TFD menos demorados. A análise termográfica mostrou que não ocorre aquecimento relevante do tecido nas aplicações de LIP em aplicações de TFD no protocolo utilizado. A avaliação histológicas das condições entre 24 e 48 horas permitiu observar as diferentes fases do processo cicatricial em função do tempo decorrido. O estudo possibilitou maior entendimento sobre os efeitos da LIP em tecido biológico, especialmente em associação à TFD. Também foi estabelecido, pela primeira vez, um modelo de protocolo para investigação do uso da LIP em modelo animal para TFD em pele, que pode ser extrapolado em futuros estudos para tratamentos oncológicos e dermatológicos. Consideradas as possibilidades oferecidas e a pronta disponibilidade do dispositivo para irradiação, a TFD com LIP torna-se viável técnica e comercialmente para uso clínico.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is mainly composed of physical, chemical, and biological processes that occur after administration of photosensitizing compounds, which are selectively held in abnormal tissues. After visible light irradiation, those photosensitizers (PS) are activated by light absorption. During treatment, energy transfer mechanisms take place between PS and molecular oxygen that is available in tissues, promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species that bring cells to death. One of this technique´s main applications is skin cancer treatment, and this study aims to optimize such a PDT application by using intense pulsed light (IPL) as irradiation system. Literature shows IPL efficacy on dermatological aesthetic procedures, such as hair removal, treatment of vascular lesion, acne and skin photorejuvenation, promoted by photochemical and thermal effects. However, skin cancer treatment was never reported. Using IPL for PDT may bring advantages such as reducing the treatment sessions, which reduces pain during procedures, and the ability to use PS blends that will absorb in different regions of wavelengths, resulting in simultaneous activation of different absorption bands and improving PDT effect. Shorter irradiation may reduce oxygen depletion due to long irradiation periods, and major thermal effects. In this study, PDT was performed using an IPL commercial device (Intense Pulse Light, HKS801) with the application of two PpIX precursors (ALA and MAL) and the exogenous PS Photodithazine (PDZ) and Indocyanine Green (ICG) on porcine health skin model. Administration of the PS or PpIX precursors were investigated both by vehiculation via cream and by high pressure, needle-free injection (SAFE INJECT). The results obtained in this study showed that the damage induced by PDT using the needle-free injection is more expressive than for cream vehiculation. The in vitro study showed that IPL interacted with all PS and promoted absorption bands multi-activation. The in vivo studies showed different aspects of using IPL for PDT. Fluorescence investigation showed that the distribution by the needle-free injection was more homogeneous, suggesting that shorter PDT protocols are possible. Thermography imaging showed that no relevant heating was observed for IPL applications of PDT during the protocols of choice. Histological analysis of conditions between 24 and 48 hours allowed observing the different stages of the healing process as a function of time. This study provided deeper understanding of IPL effects in biological tissues, and particularly when associated to PDT. In addition, for the first time, an investigation protocol for the use of IPL-PDT in porcine healthy skin was designed, which can be extrapolated for future studies on cancer and skin lesions. Given the possibilities and the prompt availability of the irradiation device, IPL-PDT is readily available technically and commercially for clinical use.

Les lymphocytes intra-épithéliaux (LIE) de l' intestin grêle diffèrent des lymphocytes T périphériques et semblent être générés localement à partir de cellules CD3' de la muqueuse intestinale. Néanmoins, les voies de différentiation des LIE et les cellules CD3' sont mal caractérisées. Nous avons donc étudié précisement le phénotype, l'expression de facteur de transcription, les réarrangements des gènes codant pour le récepteur des cellules T dans ces populations et l'impact de différentes mutations sur la génération de ces cellules. Nos résultats montrent l'existence de précurseurs CD3' dans la muqueuse intestinale et de mécanismes de différentiation locaux différents de ceux décrits lors de la différentiation thermique. De plus, l'ensemble de ces données a permis l'élaboration d'un schéma des voies de différenciation des LIE
Intraepithelial T lymphocytes (IEL) of the small intestine are distinct fromperipheral lymphocytes and seem to differenciate locally from CD3' cells of the intestinal mucosa. Moreover, the CD3' cells and the differentiation pathways of IEL are not wellcharacterized. We have characterized the phenotype, the expression of transcription factors, the rearrangements of the T cell receptor genes in the CD3' cells. We have also studied the impact of different mutations on the local differenciation process. Our results demonstrate the presence of CD3' precursors of IEL in the intestinal mucosa as well as stricking differences in the process of IEL differentiation in the gut when compared with T cell differentiation in the thymus. These results have help us determine the sequence of precursor development in the gut. Finally, our data also show that.

Abstract:
Participatory approaches in knowledge generation have become increasingly important in understanding our environments and integrating human and natural systems. Such approaches have been used to discover new species, address environmental injustices, and develop land management practices. However, frameworks and models used to explore participatory approaches tend to be oversimplified or focus on a specific component. Here, I present an integrated multi-tiered framework to gain insight into how project context and design interact to create outcomes that shape the socio-ecological system. The framework accounts for the nested scales, i.e. ecological, societal, and individual, of both the context and the outcomes. I then demonstrate the utility of the framework by applying it to two case studies in Ecuador: 1.) a climate change monitoring network and 2.) Andean bear para-biologists. Using this framework, it was evident that in both projects, gendered landscapes and how participants engaged were primary factors in shaping outcomes.

Abstract:
Context: Software supporting an enterprise’s business, also known as a business support system, needs to support the correlation of activities between actors as well as influence the activities based on knowledge about the value networks in which the enterprise acts. This can be supported with the help of intent-driven systems. The aim of intent-driven systems is to capture stakeholders’ intents and transform these into a form that enables computer processing of them. Only then are different machine actors able to negotiate with each other on behalf of their respective stakeholders and their intents, and suggest a mutually beneficial agreement. Objective: When building a business support system it is critical to separate the business model of the business support system itself from the business models used by the enterprise which is using the business support system. The core idea of intent-driven systems is the possibility to change behavior of the system itself, based on stakeholder intents. This requires a separation of concerns between the parts of the system used to execute the stakeholder business, and the parts which are used to design the business based on stakeholder intents. The business studio is a software that supports the realization of business models used by the enterprise by configuring the capabilities provided by the business support system. The aim is to find out how we can support the design of a business studio which is based on intent-driven systems. Method: We are using the design science framework as our research frame- work. During our design science study we have used the following research methods: systematic literature review, case study, quasi experiment, and action research. Results: We have produced two design artifacts as a start to be able to support the design of a business studio. These artifacts are the models and quasi-experiment in Chapter 3, and the action research in Chapter 4. The models found during the case study have proved to be a valuable artifact for the stakeholder. The results from the quasi-experiment and the action research are seen as new problem solving knowledge by the stakeholder. Conclusion: The synthesis shows a need for further research regarding semantic interchange of information, actor interaction in intent-driven systems, and the governance of intent-driven systems.

Abstract:
In a near future autonomous cars will likely populate the urban environment together with traditional cars and other road users. While they will actually consist of urban- scale robots immersed in a socio-technical context, so far autonomous cars have been almost exclusively looked at from the perspective of safety and functionality and they have not been designed towards acting as social urban beings. ”Cars with an Intent” is a design- research driven PhD project which envisions cars beyond their core objectives of functionality and safety, and probes how positive and enriching car-to-human and human-to-human relationships can be prompted by embedding social intentions and behaviours in the car. After an initial exploration in the two different directions, the research delves into the specific concept called "Co-Drive", pursuing human-to human relationships. First, I describe the Co-Drive concept as an extended reality experience (XR); next I develop an early-stage prototyping methodology that allows me to test it with real people in their context without having the fully developed technology. Through three prototyping interventions, I draw the first conclusions on the social values of the "Co-Drive" concept and I suggest that the social intent of autonomous cars may emerge through i) teledriving, as a combined intent between the autonomous car and the human; and ii) the in-car interfaces, as a way to spot and board remote passengers and to embody them in the car.
In un prossimo futuro le automobili a guida autonoma popoleranno probabilmente l'ambiente urbano insieme alle auto tradizionali e ad altri utenti della strada. Sebbene siano a tutti gli effetti dei robot a scala urbana immersi in un contesto socio-tecnico, finora le auto autonome sono state considerate quasi esclusivamente dal punto di vista della sicurezza e della funzionalità di guida e non sono state progettate per agire come esseri urbani sociali. "Automobili con una Intenzionalità" è un progetto di dottorato che segue un processo di “ricerca attraverso il design” (design research) e che immagina le automobili oltre i loro obiettivi principali di funzionalità e sicurezza. Il progetto infatti esplora quali relazioni positive e arricchenti possano essere attivate tra automobili ed esseri umani e tra gli stessi esseri umani incorporando intenzionalità sociali e nuovi comportamenti nelle automobili e si sviluppa attraverso la prototipazione di nuove relazioni sociali nel contesto reale. Dopo una prima esplorazione nelle due diverse direzioni di ricerca, il progetto si concentra sulla specifica idea intitolata "Co-Drive", approfondendo le relazioni che possono emergere tra gli esseri umani attraverso le nuove capacità delle automobili. In primo luogo, descrivo il concetto di “Co-Drive” come un'esperienza di realtà estesa (XR); successivamente sviluppo una metodologia di prototipazione da applicarsi sin dalla fase iniziale del progetto, che mi consenta di sviluppare e testare l’idea con persone reali nel loro contesto, seppur non disponendo di una tecnologia completamente sviluppata e funzionante. Attraverso tre interventi di prototipazione, traggo le prime conclusioni sui valori sociali dell’idea "Co-Drive" e suggerisco che l’intenzionalità sociale delle automobili a guida autonoma può emergere attraverso i) la capacità di guida remota, come risultante dell’ intenzionalità dell’automobile autonoma e dell'essere umano, e ii) le interfacce all’interno dell’automobile, attraverso cui si possono, da un lato, localizzare e far salire a bordo i passeggeri remoti e, dall’altro, “incarnarli” in appendici robotiche dell’automobile (robotic embodiment).

Abstract:
Networking has shown to benefit SMEs in terms of increasing resource acquisition and knowledge transfer, two vital components in SME growth and survival. However, previous research has indicated that SME network management is largely determined by the strategic orientation of the firm, which in turn, is influenced by the owner/manager. Third party involvement has moreover been suggested to positively influence networking participation by facilitating the overall networking process for SMEs. In the present study, the moderating effect of non-profit, municipal third party involvement, on the relationship between firm growth orientation and network intensity and range, is thus examined.

Abstract:
Le champ de recherche en entrepreneuriat est aujourd’hui très répandu mais dans le contexte du Vietnam, il reste encore un domaine de recherche à explorer. Parmi les paradigmes de l’entrepreneuriat, l’approche processuelle, se trouve au coeur de plusieurs recherches récentes. Cette thèse s’intéresse à l’intention qui constitue la première étape du processus entrepreneurial. Elle est consacrée à l’étude des impacts du système éducatif universitaire sur l’intention entrepreneuriale des étudiants vietnamiens. Elle tente de déterminer le rôle de l’« environnement universitaire » dans la formation de l’intention entrepreneuriale chez les étudiants. Le travail est interdisciplinaire entre les sciences de gestion et les sciences de l’information et de la communication. Il consiste à décrire un modèle de facteurs constitutifs de l’environnement universitaire et mesure l’influence de ces facteurs sur l’intention entrepreneuriale. Cette recherche s’appuie sur le modèle d’intention entrepreneuriale de Davidsson (1995) repris par Autio et al. (1997) et la théorie du comportement d’Ajzen (1991). La thèse est effectuée en mobilisant un pluralisme méthodologique combinant approche quantitative par questionnaire et qualitative par entretiens approfondis. Les donnés quantitatives recueillies l’ont été à travers deux enquêtes par questionnaires auprès de 781 étudiants (questionnaire 1) et 220 étudiants (questionnaire 2). Afin de valider les hypothèses de recherche, des tests statistiques ont été conduits : l’indépendant simple T-test, l’analyse de variance Anova ou la régression multiple. Quinze entretiens approfondis auprès de jeunes entrepreneurs qui sont passés par la vie universitaire ont pour but de clarifier le rôle de l’environnement universitaire ainsi que le rôle de la méthodologie pédagogique dans la formation de l’intention entrepreneuriale au sein des établissements universitaires. Le travail de terrain s’est déroulé sur plusieurs mois, auprès de 9 universités vietnamiennes situées au Nord (Hanoï) et du Sud (Ho Chi Minh Ville) du Vietnam. Les résultats de recherche montrent que l’environnement universitaire, dont la méthodologie pédagogique représente un facteur majeur, influence positivement l’intention entrepreneuriale des étudiants vietnamiens. Le rôle de la pédagogie active dans l’enseignement de l’entrepreneuriat est à nouveau confirmé. Les stages en entreprise sont préconisés dans la formation à l’entrepreneuriat. En se basant sur les entretiens approfondis, cette étude ouvre des perspectives nouvelles. Citons notamment le rôle du facteur réseau ainsi que la communication engageante
The entrepreneurial field is a popular subject in the world, but it is a new and attracting research inVietnam where the private economic part has been more appreciated since 1986 (the most important point that marked the renovation of socio-economic system in Vietnam). In the entrepreneurial paradigms, the processing approach that attracts many attentions of recent researchers is followed by this study. With considering the entrepreneurship as the process, this thesis concentrates in the primary of business process (called the creation of enterprise). It studies the influences of university system on the entrepreneurial intention of Vietnamese students, especially the role of university environment in creating the students’ business intention. The most valued aim of this thesis is to describe the factors of university environment and to measure the influences of these factors on entrepreneurial ideas. It is evident that this research is typical combination between management science and information and communication science.This study bases on the entrepreneurial intention paradigm of Davisson (1995) that practiced by Autio etal (1997) and the behavioural theory of Ajzen (1991). The subject is studied by the combination between qualitative and quantitative methods. The two survey questionnaires were conducted with about 1000 completed questionnaires to collect the data for the research. The statistical tests were done such as the independent simple T-test, the analysis of variance ANOVA, the multiple regressions in order to confirm the hypotheses of research. Moreover, the fifteen of deep interview with young entrepreneurs who grow up from university system supplements the deeper understanding about the role of teaching method and university environment in creating entrepreneurial intention. The study is based on six months of fieldwork at nine universities in both the North and the South of Vietnam. The results show that the studying environment and teaching method are two key factors which have high positive influence on entrepreneurial intention of Vietnamese students. They also acknowledge the role of active pedagogic and the close relationship between the literature and the practice by the encouragement to be on probation in enterprises. This research also opens up the new prospect including the role of definition “réseau et communication engageante”

Abstract:
Chatbots are the next big improvement in the era of conversational services. A chatbot is a virtual person who can carry out a conversation with a human about a certain subject, using interactive textual skills. Currently, there are many cloud-based chatbots services that are being developed and improved such as IBM Watson, well known for winning the quiz show “Jeopardy!” in 2011. Chatbots are based on a large amount of structured data. They contains many examples of questions that are associated to a specific intent which represents what the user wants to say. Those associations are currently being done by hand, and this project focuses on improving this data structuring using both supervised and unsupervised algorithms. A supervised reclassification using an improved Barycenter method reached 85% in precision and 75% in recall for a data set containing 2005 questions. Questions that did not match any intent were then clustered in an unsupervised way using a K-means algorithm that reached a purity of 0.5 for the optimal K chosen.
Chatbots är nästa stora förbättring i konversationstiden. En chatbot är en virtuell person som kan genomföra en konversation med en människa om ett visst ämne, med hjälp av interaktiva textkunskaper. För närvarande finns det många molnbaserade chatbots-tjänster som utvecklas och förbättras som IBM Watson, känt för att vinna quizshowen "Jeopardy!" 2011. Chatbots baseras på en stor mängd strukturerade data. De innehåller många exempel på frågor som är kopplade till en specifik avsikt som representerar vad användaren vill säga. Dessa föreningar görs för närvarande för hand, och detta projekt fokuserar på att förbättra denna datastrukturering med hjälp av både övervakade och oövervakade algoritmer. En övervakad omklassificering med hjälp av en förbättrad Barycenter-metod uppnådde 85 % i precision och 75 % i recall för en dataset innehållande 2005 frågorna. Frågorna som inte matchade någon avsikt blev sedan grupperade på ett oövervakad sätt med en K-medelalgoritm som nådde en renhet på 0,5 för den optimala K som valts.

Full text
Abstract:
Si la question de l’intention intéresse essentiellement le domaine de la faute et, en conséquence, particulièrement le droit pénal, elle ne s’y cantonne pas. La recherche des manifestations de l’intention en droit civil démontre son intervention dans d’autres situations juridiques. Cet élément est notamment mis en exergue lorsqu’il est encore désigné par le terme latin d’animus ou d’affectio. L’étude de ses diverses manifestations permet d’entreprendre une analyse d’ensemble de l’intention dont la dimension psychologique fait avant tout craindre une insécurité juridique. Sa définition permet d’en dégager une structure invariable, malgré un contenu variable qui assure la souplesse de la notion. En chaque hypothèse, ce contenu peut dès lors être déterminé et contrôlé. Il en résulte que l’intention n’implique pas nécessairement de sonder les reins et les coeurs et qu’elle est davantage un instrument de catégorisation que d’individualisation des situations juridiques. L’intention dévoile, ainsi, la force de son effet discriminant. Précieux élément de qualification, elle apparaît à la base de nombreuses summa divisio, de telle sorte que la simple présence ou encore l’absence d’un élément intentionnel peut générer des effets juridiques particulièrement drastiques. Intervenant de manière transversale au sein du droit civil, l’intention fait la preuve de son importance sans toutefois être systématiquement considérée. L’intention est un élément dont la recherche apparaît, en effet, réservée aux situations juridiques jugées anormales ou incertaines, appréciation qui repose sur une certaine représentation de l’être humain
The question of intent is mainly associated with the notion of fault, and as a result with the criminal law in particular, although not exclusively. The search for manifestations of intent in civil law demonstrates its role in other juridical situations. Thus, the element of intent is particularly pointed out when still named in Latin terms animus or affectio. The research of its various manifestations leads to a comprehensive analysis of the notion of intent, which psychological dimension may raise doubts as to its legal reliability. The definition of intent reveals an invariable structure despite a variable content which provides flexibility to this notion. In each hypothesis, this variable content can be identified and monitored. Consequently, intent is not necessarily about probing hearts, it is more a tool of categorization rather han individualization of legal situations. Thus, intent unveils the power of its discriminating effect. It is an invaluable qualification tool, as it appears at the basis of several summa divisio, and can create drastic legal effects by its mere presence or absence. Acting transversally across civil law, intent proves its importance, even if it is not systematically taken into account. Indeed, the search for intent is reserved for those legal situations which are considered abnormal or doubtful, a judgement relying on a certain representation of human beings

Full text
Abstract:
L’implémentation d’intention est une stratégie de planification de l’action qui se révèle être plus efficace que l’intention d’agir pour permettre d’atteindre des buts désirés. À la différence d’une intention qui ne spécifie que les comportements qu’on souhaite réaliser (“j’ai l’intention de faire Y”), la stratégie d’implémentation d’intention consiste à créer un lien entre une situation et un comportement dirigé vers l’atteinte du but dans un format langagier en “si…alors” (“si je rencontre la situation X, alors je réaliserai le comportement Y”). L’efficacité de cette stratégie réside dans sa capacité à créer des habitudes de façon instantanée, habitudes dont la littérature révèle la force à persister dans le temps. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous examinons l’efficacité de cette stratégie pour faire face à deux obstacles à la persistance des comportements que sont les coûts associés à la réalisation du comportement et les changements situationnels. Dans trois études reposant sur un paradigme de décision, nous avons fait varier le coût associé à la réalisation du comportement. Les résultats, bien que ténus, suggèrent que former une implémentation d’intention permet de maintenir la réalisation des comportements plus longtemps que de ne former qu’une intention. Dans trois études reposant sur une tâche de catégorisation, nous avons présenté des situations : similaires versus non-similaires à la situation X spécifiée dans l’implémentation d’intention, et affordant le comportement Y spécifié dans cette stratégie versus un autre comportement. Les résultats suggèrent qu’en comparaison de l’intention, l’implémentation d’intention permet davantage de généraliser la réalisation des comportements, c’est-à-dire que le comportement semble être réalisé dans d’autres situations que celle spécifiée. La généralisation ne s’observe toutefois pas pour tout type de situation, mais uniquement lorsque ces situations sont fortement physiquement similaires à la situation spécifiée et affordent le comportement spécifié. Nous discuterons de l’apport de différentes théories de psychologie sociale permettant de comprendre les effets observés
Implementation intention is a planning strategy that promotes goal achievement beyond goal intentions. While goal intentions merely specify a desired goal-directed behavior (“I intend to do Y”), implementation intentions link a goal-relevant situation to a goal-directed behavior in an “if, then” format (“If I encounter the situation X, then I’ll perform the behavior Y”). The efficacy of this strategy to promote goal achievement originates from its ability to create instant habits, habits for which the literature reveal the strength to persist over time. In this work, we examine the efficacy of this strategy to shield ongoing goal pursuit from the cost of behaviors and the situational changes. In three studies using a decision paradigm, we varied the cost associated to the realization of the behavior. The results, even weak, suggest that forming an implementation intention leads to maintaining a response for a longer period of time than goal intentions. In three studies using a categorization paradigm, we presented situations: physically similar versus non-similar to the situation X specified in the implementation intention; that afforded the behavior Y specified in the plan versus a different behavior. The results suggest that, compared to forming goal intentions, forming implementation intentions leads to a generalization, meaning that the behavior is realized in other situations than the specified one. However, a generalization does not occur for all kind of situation but only when situations that are strongly physically similar to the specified one and that afford the critical behavior are encountered. We discuss the contribution of some social psychology theories to understand the observed results

Malama och Ernst Hollander Datum: 2014-06 Syfte: Syftet med vårt arbete är att undersöka hur svenska tjänstebaserade företag på en internationell marknad skapar internt kunskapsutbyte mellan huvudkontor och lokalkontor. Metod: Vi har valt att intervjua ledare inom välkända fastighetsmäklarföretag. För att undersöka hur kunskapsutbytet fungerar på stor geografisk bredd. Vi har gått utanför landsgränser. För att få en djupare förståelse i ämnet har vi använt oss av en intervjuguide. Vilket har gjort att våra intervjuer har varit semistrukturerade. Arbetet är av en kvalitativ art. Resultat & slutsats: Det har i denna studie visat sig att organisationens helhet är viktig för ett gott kunskapsutbyte. Framförallt har företagsuppbyggnad och styrning visat sig vara viktiga byggstenar i skapandet av kunskap. Förslag till vidare forskning: Denna studie visat ett stort gap inom forskningen av kunskapsutbyte. Det behövs liknande studier som vårt arbete inom andra branscher för att öka förståelsen för ämnet. Uppsatsens bidrag: Vi anser att denna uppsats bidrar med en ökande förståelse för det interna kunskapsutbytet inom svenska tjänstebaserade företag verksamma på den internationella marknaden.

Abstract:
En se fondant sur une enquête documentographique, issue de plusieurs méthodes de commentaire de documents, notamment en géographie, en histoire, en analyse des spectacles, cette thèse vise à explorer les capacités informatives de la carte, objet de contemplation et de fascination, mais aussi de visualisation de territoires. La carte est, en effet, une re-présentation, c'est-à-dire une " mise sous les yeux " iconique d'informations spatialisées, qui bénéficie d'un langage visuel et textuel efficace. L'objectif de cette enquête sur l'élaboration, la production et les usages des cartes, est de définir, du point de vue des Sciences de l'Information et de la Communication, et dans la continuité des travaux de Jean Meyriat, le document carte, et de préciser ce qui relève de ses fabriques infocommunicationnelles, celle par l'intention de son auteur, et celle à réception. La carte est construite et élaborée pour assumer une ou des fonctions, définies par celui qui la fabrique. Mais elle peut être exploitée et interrogée par des utilisateurs, dans d'autres contextes de réception que celui prévu par l'auteur. La carte remplit alors d'autres fonctions et se révèle kaléidoscopique : chacune de ses utilisations crée une autre image, chaque utilisateur fabrique un nouveau document. A travers cette exploitation de la carte, réalisée à partir d'un échantillon du fonds cartographique de l'Université Toulouse-Jean Jaurès, nous contribuons ainsi, au sein de l'équipe MICS, Médiations en Information-Communication Spécialisées du Laboratoire d'Études et de Recherches Appliquées en Sciences Sociales, LERASS, à l'élaboration collective du concept de document dans ses formes diverses
Based on a documentographic investigation, following several methods comment of documents, including geography, history, analysis shows, this thesis aims to explore the informative capacity of the map, an object of contemplation and fascination, but also territories visualization. The map is, in fact, a re-presentation, that is to say, an iconic "deposit under the eyes" of spatial information, which has a visual and textual language effectively. The objective of this investigation on the development, production and uses of maps, is to define, in terms of Information and Communication Sciences, and continuity in the work of Jean Meyriat, the document map, and clarify what comes under its infocommunicationals factories, one by the intention of its author, and one upon receipt. The map is built and developed to assume one or more functions defined by the person who makes. But it can be exploited and interrogated by users, in other receptions contexts than that provided by the author. The map then performs other functions and proves kaleidoscopic: each of its use creates another image, each user makes a new document. Through this exploitation of the map, made from a sample of cartographic funds of University of Toulouse - Jean Jaurès, we contribute, within MICS team, Mediations in Specialized Information-Communication Studies, of Laboratory and Applied Research in Social Sciences, LERASS, of the collective concept development document in its various forms

Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on how both the tangible, as well as the intangible heritage layering of Irene Dairy Farm can be exposed. First, the intangible heritage significance is identified and subsequently reintroduced to the site in the form of the vision and intent of the farm at its genesis. The farm will be reactivated as a productive landscape whilst acting as a didactic model through the public exhibition of innovative food production methods and the effect this has on the culinary experience of the user. The celebration of the heritage significance lies within the reintroduction of innovation through twenty-first century food cultivation methods and the integration thereof into new infrastructure, thereby reactivating the historic intent of the farm as a productive model and didactic establishment. Secondly, the tangible heritage significance was identified as being embedded within the landscape and is expressed as ruins consisting of low walls, storm water channels, forest remnants, tree boulevard remains and historic movement routes. The tectonic approach to the tangible heritage elements of the site links back to the conceptual approach of exposing the functionality and dismembering the structures in order to remember. The historic structures will thus be treated as fragmented limbs to be dismembered in order to reveal the skeleton and function through the subtle intersections of new material and infrastructure. The investigation aims to: Address the loss of heritage significance of the farm on a master plan and detail level; allow the opportunity for skills development in the formal agricultural sector through the introduction of the didactic program; and acknowledge the prospect of sustainable food cultivation methods which is a global and local issue.

Abstract:
A luz intensa pulsada é amplamente utilizada para o tratamento do fotoenvelhecimento e de lesões vasculares congênitas e adquiridas, porém, seus efeitos biológicos ainda não são completamente esclarecidos. Neste estudo, foram avaliadas as respostas proliferativas e de síntese em fibroblastos e células endoteliais humanas após a irradiação com a luz intensa pulsada. As culturas de fibroblastos e células endoteliais foram irradiadas com luz intensa pulsada com variação de comprimento de onda entre 420 e 1110 nm e fluências de 10, 16 e 20 J/cm2. Os experimentos foram realizados após 24 e 48 horas da irradiação e analisados os seguintes parâmetros: 1-alterações morfológicas; 2- determinação da capacidade proliferativa e citotóxica; 3- produção de radicais livres; 4- fases do ciclo celular; 5- expressão dos marcadores do ciclo celular e apoptose; 6- avaliação do potencial elétrico da membrana mitocondrial; 7- análise da atividade mitocondrial por microscopia confocal; 8- biossíntese de colágeno e 9- microscopia eletrônica de varredura dos fibroblastos e matriz extracelular. Os resultados demonstraram que, nos fibroblastos, a luz intensa pulsada promoveu aumento da densidade celular e da capacidade proliferativa; aumento na produção de radicais livres diretamente proporcional à intensidade de energia; estímulo na fase de síntese; estímulo na síntese de colágeno mais significativo em 10 e 16 J/cm²; induziu apoptose pela via extrínseca, dependente da intensidade de energia; a microscopia eletrônica de varredura demonstrou detalhes da organização e síntese da matriz extracelular, bem como o colágeno recém sintetizado. Nas células endoteliais a luz intensa pulsada não provocou mudanças morfológicas; promoveu aumento na produção de radicais livres, induziu citotoxicidade e apoptose pela via extrínseca e diminuiu a capacidade proliferativa, proporcional à intensidade de energia. Este estudo permitiu a determinação in vitro dos mecanismos biológicos envolvidos após a interação da luz intensa pulsada com os fibroblastos e células endoteliais humanas
Intense pulsed light is widespread used in the treatment of intrinsic and extrinsic photo damaged skin and congenital or acquired vascular diseases but its biological effects have not yet been clearly demonstrated. This study assessed the proliferative and synthesis responses of fibroblasts and endothelial cells. The fibroblasts and endothelial cells cultures were irradiated with intense pulsed light, with wavelength ranging from 420 to 1110 nm, fluencies of 10, 16 e 20 J/cm2 and pulse delay 10 ms. Experiments were performed 24 and 48 hours after irradiation and the following parameters were analyzed: 1- morphological changes; 2- measurement of proliferative capacity and citotoxicity; 3- free radical production; 4- cell cycle phases; 5- expression of cell cycle and apoptosis markers; 6- electrical potential of mitochondrial membrane; 7- mitochondrial activity by confocal microscopy; 8- collagen synthesis; 9- Scanning electron microscopy of fibroblasts and extracellular matrix. The results evidenced that intense pulsed light on fibroblasts increased cell density and proliferative capacity; stimulus on synthesis phase and collagen synthesis more significant at fluences of in 10 and 16 J/cm²; increase of free radical formation, citotoxicity and apoptosis through the extrinsic pathway proportional to the energy intensity. The scanning electron microscopy evidenced the organization details of extracellular matrix and new collagen fibers. Regarding the endothelial cells, intense pulsed light did not cause morphological changes; increased free radicals formation, induced citotoxicity and apoptosis through the extrinsic pathway and decreased the proliferative capacity proportionally to the intensity of energy. This study allowed the in vitro determination of the biological mechanisms involved after the interaction of intense pulsed light and human fibroblasts and endothelial cells

Abstract:
Denne avhandlingen setter fokus på hvordan rådgivere innenfor helse, miljø og sikkerhet opplever håndtering av konflikter i arbeidslivet. Gjennom intervju med tre rådgivere får en et innblikk i hva de opplever som essensielt for at de klarer å håndtere konflikten. Å ivareta seg selv, ansvarliggjøre de involverte i konflikten, samt utvikle seg selv som rådgiver framstår som særdeles viktig. På bakgrunn av dette fremstår mestring, som essensielt ved håndteringen. Disse temaene berører ulike psykologiske behov, som relateres til samfunnsmessige, samt teoretiske oppfatninger. I tilknytning til dette blir utbrenthet drøftet som en konsekvens av ikke å mestre. Dette drøftes videre i forhold til å ivareta seg selv, ansvarliggjøre de involverte i konflikten, og utvikle seg selv.

Abstract:
Conflict is a component of interpersonal interactions, neither inevitable nor innately bad, but often commonplace (Deutsch & Coleman, 2000; Schellenberg, 1996). Conflict interactions that occur in the workplace can impact individuals, relationships, and the organization as a whole. This experimental study was framed from a contingency perspective to examine the extent to which specific contextual variables of a workplace conflict would influence participant responses in that interaction. During the study, 389 individuals responded to an online questionnaire containing a description of a hypothetical workplace conflict interaction with one level of three manipulated context variables (i.e., conflict type, verb abstraction level, and sex of parties). The context variables were hypothesized to influence participantsâ responses that included attitudes toward the interaction, subjective norms, appraisals of personal control and external control, and attributions of the locus of causality. This cognitive set of variables was hypothesized to explain respondentsâ behavioral intentions in that conflict. The four conflict behavioral intentions used in this study were control, nonconfrontation, compromise, and integrate. Analyses of the data included multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), canonical correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression. The results of MANOVA were that context had modest effects on cognition and behavioral intention, examined in separate analyses. The conflict type, using a task versus relationship categorization, appeared to be the most salient of the context variables having effects on many of the cognitive measures in this study. Two other contextual variables, sex of conflict initiator and abstraction level of the verbs used to describe the conflict scenario had statistically significant results, but much lesser effects. The sex of the respondent played a minimal role in a statistically significant 3-way interaction with abstraction-level and sex of initiator. The cognitive variables together explained 29% of the variance in the set of conflict behavioral intentions using canonical correlation analysis. When the data were analyzed with hierarchical multiple regression, the context and cognitive variables explained statistically significant proportions of the variance in each behavioral intention that ranged from 7% (of control), 15% (of nonconfrontation), 19% (of compromise), to 20% (of integrate). Different patterns of context and cognitive variables influenced each of the conflict behavioral intentions. These findings present a challenge to hold two ideas together, the context and the individual, in future research and current practice. The results of this study lend support to a contingency perspective that aspects of the context, when salient to a party in the conflict, will have effects on participant responses in that interaction.

A nossa pesquisa tem por objetivo acompanhar as formulaÃÃes do conceito de fim de anÃlise, desde Freud, passando pelos pÃs-freudianos e chegando Ãs contribuiÃÃes do ensino de Lacan. Para tanto, dividimos metodologicamente o nosso percurso em trÃs momentos distintos: 1. o percurso do conceito de fim de anÃlise em Freud; 2. a investigaÃÃo dos conceitos de cura e de fim de anÃlise nas produÃÃes teÃricas dos analistas contemporÃneos a Freud e pÃs-freudianos; 3. o redimensionamento das perspectivas terapÃuticas e do conceito de fim de anÃlise a partir das contribuiÃÃes de Jacques Lacan. No primeiro momento, vimos de que modo a introduÃÃo do conceito de pulsÃo de morte, em 1920, contribuiu para a dissociaÃÃo definitiva entre o fim de anÃlise e os fins terapÃuticos. TambÃm pudemos discutir a direÃÃo do tratamento em Freud, os obstÃculos à cura e ao fim de anÃlise e a proposiÃÃo tÃcnica das construÃÃes em anÃlise, uma saÃda artificial, proposta por Freud, aos impasses do tratamento analÃtico. Na segunda parte, investigamos as soluÃÃes dadas pelos analistas pÃsfreudianos ao obstÃculo da economia pulsional. Partimos da hipÃtese de que o movimento analÃtico nÃo aceitou, de bom grado, as contribuiÃÃes do conceito de pulsÃo de morte, preferindo traduzi-las em termos de amortecimento dos resultados terapÃuticos. Nessa perspectiva, dois obstÃculos tornaram-se supostos lanÃar o tratamento analÃtico em uma tarefa sem fim: em 1930, o carÃter fazia obstÃculo à cura, por sua relaÃÃo estreita aos obscuros modos de satisfaÃÃo pulsional; em 1950, o ser do analista embotava o bom andamento da transferÃncia, constituindo-se como um inoportuno resÃduo ao fim das anÃlises didÃticas e terapÃuticas. Na Ãltima parte do nosso trabalho, a partir das contribuiÃÃes de Jacques Lacan, a constituiÃÃo da tÃpica do imaginÃrio conferiu inteligibilidade aos impasses a que haviam chegado os analistas pÃs-freudianos. Sob a Ãgide do imaginÃrio, demonstramos os efeitos desastrosos em elidir o discurso inconsciente no tratamento analÃtico, e apontamos a proposta lacaniana de retomar as referÃncias do campo da fala e da linguagem. Ao fim do nosso percurso, acompanhamos a crÃtica de Lacan ao modelo de formaÃÃo da IPA e a saÃda proposta por ele, o dispositivo do passe, para lidar com os limites da formaÃÃo analÃtica e do fim de anÃlise. Na conclusÃo, pudemos apontar de que modo o nosso trabalho lanÃa luz sobre as questÃes referentes à formaÃÃo do analista e contribui à transmissÃo da psicanÃlise.
Our research aims at following the formulations for the concept of end of analysis beginning with Freud, going through the post-Freudians, and reaching the teaching contributions from Lacan. To this end we divided our path methodologically in three distinct segments: 1. the pathway for defining the concept of end of analysis as propounded by Freud; 2. the investigation of the concept of cure and end of analysis in the theoretical productions of Freudâs contemporaries and post-Freudians; 3. the reassessment of therapeutic perspectives and the concept of end of analysis as contributed by Jacques Lacan. In the first moment, we were shown how the inception of the concept of death drive in 1920 contributed to the final break-up between end of analysis and therapeutic intents. We were also able to discuss treatment guidelines as propounded by Freud, the hurdles impeding the cure and the adoption of end of analysis, and the technical proposition for analysis construction, an artificial solution advanced by Freud to counter the difficulties with analytical treatment. In the second part, we investigated solutions as propounded by post-Freudian analysts to the problem of the economics of compulsion. We set out from the hypothesis according to which the analytical movement did not accept easily the contributions from the concept of death drive, rather opting for interpreting them as a lessening of therapeutic results. Within this view, two obstacles impeded the analytical treatment turning it into a never-ending task: in 1930, character was an obstacle to cure because of its close relation to the obscure ways of drive satisfaction; in 1950, the analystâs self blurred the good development of transference, appearing as an inconvenient waste from the end sought by didactical and therapeutic analyses. In the last part of our work, the constitution of topic in its imaginary configuration, having its source on Lacanâs contributions, conferred intelligibility to the standstill reached by post-Freudian analysts. Under the aegis of a configuration shaped by imaginary values we demonstrated the disastrous results from the attempt to elide the unconscious discourse from the analytical treatment, and we pointed to a Lacanian proposal of resuming field references for speech and language. At the end of our pathway, we accompanied Lacanâs critical appraisal of the model for IPA formation and his solution to the problem, namely, the pass procedure to deal with the limits of analytical formation and end of analysis. As a conclusion, we could evaluate how our work throws a light upon issues referring to the analystâs formation and how it contributes to psychoanalysis transmission.

Abstract:
Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le champ de la littérature de jeunesse comme lieu d’expression artistique à la croisée de la littérature et des arts visuels. L’objet de notre travail est de décrire les formes que revêt le péritexte et les fonctions qui lui sont assignées dans l’album pour la jeunesse. Parce que l’album est un laboratoire d’écriture, parce qu’il est un objet plurisémiotique, le péritexte, dans les recherches plastiques et narratologiques les plus innovantes, se voit investi par les auteurs et traité comme un espace de créativité sémantisé. La fiction déborde sur les seuils, les seuils s’immiscent dans la fiction. Nous proposons dans un premier temps une typologie, appliquée à l’album, des usages péritextuels afin d’interroger les débordements de seuils de la périphérie du texte vers le récit, et inversement, du récit vers la périphérie du texte. Dans un second temps, nous observons ces débordements : deux types de transgressions sont à l’œuvre, l’un s’observant dans le récit iconotextuel de l’album et l’autre, dans ses seuils péritextuels, redéfinissant alors les contours mêmes du récit. Enfin, dans une perspective didactique, nous interrogeons la réception des jeunes lecteurs qui reçoivent effectivement ces péritextes plus ou moins canoniques ou nettement déviants. Nous réfléchissons alors aux moyens d’utiliser en classe les éléments péritextuels, hors des rituels connus, pour en faire des entrées heuristiques dans la lecture
This thesis deals with the issue of children's literature as a means of artistic expression, at a crossroad between literature and visual art.The aim of this research is to describe the various forms that the peritext assumes and the functions assigned to it, within the literary genre of children's books.Because the peritext is a laboratory in writing, and as the children's book is a plurisemiotic object, the peritext, in its most innovative plastic and narratological research, is invested by authors and thus treated as a field of semantic creativity by them. Fiction crosses over thresholds while thresholds meddle with fiction. In a first part, a typology of peritextual usage applied to children's books is suggested, so as to examine the overlapping of thresholds from the textual fringe to the narrative, and vice versa, from the narrative to the textual fringe. In a second part, these overlaps, defined here as metalepsis, are examined. Two types of transgressions are at work, one that can be noticed in the iconotextual narrative of the book and another in its peritextual thresholds, thus redefining the very contours of the narrative itself. Finally, from a teaching perspective, the reception process among young readers, who receive these more or less canonical, if not deviating peritexts directly, is considered. How to use the peritextual elements in class out of common rituals is then pondered upon in order to be turned into heuristic entries in the reading process

Abstract:
Det övergripande syftet med vår studie är att undersöka hur intensiv lästräning under en sexveckorsperiod kan påverka ordavkodningsförmågan samt ta del av elevernas upplevelser av det arbetet. Våra frågeställningar är: I vilken utsträckning utvecklas elevernas ordavkodningsförmåga under sexveckors intensiv lästräning? Hur upplever eleverna det intensiva tidsbegränsade insatserna? Vilka tendenser kan vi se beroende på om eleverna genomför intensiv lästräning individuellt eller i liten grupp? I vilken utsträckning utvecklas de elever som också låg under TIL:s gränsvärde, men som inte genomförde intensiv lästräning? Mycket av tankarna inom intensiv lästräning återfinns inom den sociokulturella teorin där inlärning sker i samspel med någon annan, samt inom elevens proximala utvecklingszon. Vår studie har både kvalitativ och kvantitativ forskningsansats, eftersom vi har genomfört halvstrukturerade elevintervjuer samt tagit del av testresultat. Resultatet visar efter genomgången intensiv lästräning att samtliga elever ökat sin ordavkodningsförmåga samt stärkt sin självkänsla som läsare. De elever som inte genomförde intensiv lästräning hade också ökat sin ordavkodningsförmåga, men inte i samma utsträckning. Vi såg inga tydliga tendenser beroende på om eleverna genomförde intensiv lästräning individuellt eller i liten grupp. Vår slutsats är att det är viktigt med tidig upptäckt för att kunna förebygga och åtgärda läs- och skrivsvårigheter, innan eleven utvecklar en negativ självbild som läsare.

Abstract:
In today's era of intense competition for acquiring and retaining customers, customer retention has become a major issue and a key objective in modern retailing. With the emergence of new information technologies, the Internet offers new possibilities for customer retention through the management of relationships between marketers and consumers. Little empirical research has addressed the role of Internet websites in retaining customers for particular brands or at particular stores. The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of the attitudes of a sample of young consumers aged 18 to 22 toward their favorite websites on intentions to purchase through the Internet and channels other than Internet clothing websites. The data were collected using an online survey with a structured questionnaire. The subjects of the study were 414 male and female undergraduate and graduate students at Virginia Tech and The Ohio State University, who were aged 18 to 22 and non-married. Several hypotheses were put forward and results except for one hypothesis were supported. Factor analysis, cluster analysis, factorial MANOVA, canonical correlation analysis, multiple regression, path analysis, and t-tests were employed to test the research hypotheses on the relationships among the variables. The factorial MANOVA results showed that shopping orientation and previous online shopping experience affected the evaluation of general clothing website characteristics, as well as the evaluation of favorite clothing websites. The canonical correlation results revealed that the product information, customer service, and navigation factors represented the favorite clothing website characteristics and were well predicted by the same constructs of the general clothing website characteristics. The path analysis revealed that attitudes toward favorite clothing websites were positively related to intentions to search for information at favorite clothing websites, and that intentions to search for information at those websites were positively related to intentions to purchase from those websites as well as from channels other than Internet clothing websites. Attitudes toward favorite clothing websites were directly and positively related to intentions to purchase clothing items from favorite clothing websites, and were not directly related to intentions to purchase clothing items from channels other than Internet clothing websites. The results also showed that shopping orientation affected intentions to search for information on one hand, and intentions to purchase clothing items from favorite clothing websites on the other. The online information search and purchase groups were significantly different in their intentions to purchase clothing items from their favorite clothing websites. From the results of the present research, it is concluded that Internet websites play a pivotal role in forming consumers� attitude toward the websites, which eventually lead to their information search and purchase intention from the websites. In addition, consumers' online information search intentions influence their purchase intention at channels other than Internet. Thus, by establishing effective websites, marketers can retain their customers through multiple channels including the Internet, brick-and-mortar stores, and catalogs.

Abstract:
This thesis is a comparative legal study of preliminary agreements in French and American law.
At the negotiation process, a preliminary agreement has numerous purposes. Those purposes vary with the parties' will. The contrasted concept of preliminary agreement and its hybrid legal nature give rise to legal issues, such as interpretation, enforceability and liability. Those issues are differently tackled in French and American law.
The ambiguity of pre-agreements allows the French and American judges to play a decisive role in the interpretation of such agreements. In accordance with its definiteness and completeness, the pre-agreement may be considered as the final contract and binds the parties. Then, in case of non respect, the blameworthy party may be held liable, and courts may grant damages to the party who has suffered prejudice.

Abstract:
The open source structure of Android applications introduces security vulnerabilities that can be readily exploited by third-party applications. We address certain vulnerabilities at both installation and runtime using machine learning. Effective classification techniques with neural networks can be used to verify the application categories on installation. We devise a novel application category verification methodology that involves machine learning the application permissions and estimating the likelihoods of different categories. To detect malicious patterns in runtime, we present a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) method to analyze the activity usage by tracking Intent log information. After applying our technique to nearly 1,700 popular third-party Android applications and malware, we report that a major portion of the category declarations were judged correctly. This demonstrates the effectiveness of neural network decision engines in validating Android application categories. The approach, using HMM to analyze the Intent log for the detection of malicious runtime behavior, is new. The test results show promise with a limited input dataset (69.7% accuracy). To improve the performance, further work will be carried out to: increase the dataset size by adding game applications, to optimize Baum-Welch algorithm parameters, and to balance the size of the Intent sequence. To better emulate the participant's usage, some popular applications can be selected in advance, and the remainder can be randomly chosen.
