Full textAbstract:
Mestrado em Mathematical FinanceÉ dito que negociar é semelhante a apostar em jogos de casino: pode haver certas técnicas, mas o fator mais importante é a sorte. Já me deparei com um conjunto de pessoas que pensam dessa forma. Como pode haver gerentes (managers) de portfólios como Blackrock ou J.P. Morgan com tanta reputação e clientes? Como é que eles alcançam melhores resultados do que outros gerentes, consistentemente ao longo do tempo? Este relatório não fornece uma resposta direta à pergunta acima. Porém, apresenta uma compilação do conhecimento adquirido durante um estágio de três meses na Mercer relacionado com medição do desempenho e o seu uso para analisar as fontes de excesso de retorno em relação a um índice de referência. Esta dissertação foi escrita com a crença de que um excess de retorno positivo consistente ao longo do tempo é um indicador da habilidade do gerente (Christopherson et al., 1998). Em termos práticos, os cálculos diários das medidas de desempenho e risco forneceram uma compreensão mais profunda da teoria financeira e dos métodos reais usados num contexto profissional. Neste documento, o capítulo 1 apresenta os conceitos básicos sobre o estágio e a sua finalidade. O capítulo 2 apresenta uma descrição das tarefas realizadas na Mercer e a teoria financeira por trás delas. O capítulo 3 contém um caso prático de análise de atribuição. O capítulo 4 contém as principais conclusões.
Some say trading is just like gambling in a casino: there can be certain techniques, but the most important factor is luck. I have come across more than a handful of people stating similar assertions. How can there be portfolio managers such as Blackrock or J. P. Morgan with such reputation and so many clients? How is it that they reach better results than other managers do, consistently over time? This report does not provide a direct answer to the above question. However, it compiles the knowledge acquired over a three-month internship at Mercer related to performance measurement and its use to analyze the sources of excess return relative to a benchmark. The following dissertation has been written with the belief that a consistent positive excess return over time is an indicator of manager skill (Christopherson et. al., 1998). In practical terms, daily calculations of performance and risk measures provided a deeper understanding on the financial theory and the actual methods used in a professional environment. In this document, Chapter 1 introduces the basics about the internship and its purpose. Chapter 2 presents a description of the tasks undertaken at Mercer and the financial theory behind them. Chapter 3 contains a practical case of attribution analysis. Chapter 4 holds the main conclusions.

Church, Ian M. "Virtue epistemology and the analysis of knowledge." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/3118.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis centers on two trends in epistemology: (i) the dissatisfaction with the reductive analysis of knowledge, the project of explicating knowledge in terms of necessary and jointly sufficient conditions, and (ii) the popularity of virtue-theoretic epistemologies. The goal of this thesis is to endorse non-reductive virtue epistemology. Given that prominent renditions of virtue epistemology assume the reductive model, however, such a move is not straightforward—work needs to be done to elucidate what is wrong with the reductive model, in general, and why reductive accounts of virtue epistemology, specifically, are lacking. The first part of this thesis involves diagnosing what is wrong with the reductive model and defending that diagnosis against objections. The problem with the reductive project is the Gettier Problem. In Chapter 1, I lend credence to Linda Zagzebski's grim 1994 diagnosis of Gettier problems (and the abandonment of the reductive model) by examining the nature of luck, the key component of Gettier problems. In Chapter 2, I vindicate this diagnosis against a range of critiques from the contemporary literature. The second part involves applying this diagnosis to prominent versions of (reductive) virtue epistemology. In Chapter 3, we consider the virtue epistemology of Alvin Plantinga. In Chapter 4, we consider the virtue epistemology of Ernest Sosa. Both are seminal and iconic; nevertheless, I argue that, in accord with our diagnosis, neither is able to viably surmount the Gettier Problem. Having diagnosed what is wrong with the reductive project and applied this diagnosis to prominent versions of (reductive) virtue epistemology, the final part of this thesis explores the possibility of non-reductive virtue epistemology. In Chapter 5, I argue that there are three strategies that can be used to develop non-reductive virtue epistemologies, strategies that are compatible with seminal non-reductive accounts of knowledge and preserve our favorite virtue-theoretic concepts.

Full textAbstract:
This analysis of Tan's first two novels reveals that her female characters suffer from the strains critics like Amy Ling say result from the double paradox of filling the roles of mother or daughter as minority women in a white, male society. Recognizing this double paradox offers Tan's characters, and her readers, the opportunity to resolve the conflicts between mothers and daughters in The Joy Luck Club. Using the theories of psychologist Kathie Carlson helps readers understand how the protagonist of The Kitchen God's Wife resolves similar conflicts with her daughter and her own mother by seeking support from a mythic mother-figure, a Goddess of her own making.

Full textAbstract:
Diploma thesis tests the existence of luck premium on U.S. CEOs' compensations. Luck premium means that in case of high principal-agent costs, CEOs are rewarded for random luck and not only for their productivity. Thesis uses financial crisis in 2008 as a breaking event after which attention and control of CEOs' remuneration by owners, public, and media intensified. Using regression with fixed effects on panel data between years 2004 and 2012 thesis proved impact of luck premium before 2008 while the influence was not significant after 2008. Results were not robust for other model specifications, which might be caused by selectivity of the dataset. Thesis then presents overview of theoretical approaches to CEOs' compensation analysis and recommendations for optimal compensation set-up.

Kelp, Christoph F. F. "A minimalist approach to epistemology." Thesis, University of Stirling, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/242.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses the problem of the analysis of knowledge. The persistent failure of analyses of knowledge in terms of necessary and sufficient conditions is used to motivate exploring alternative approaches to the analytical problem. In parallel to a similar development in the theory of truth, in which the persistent failure to provide a satisfactory answer to the question as to what the nature of truth is has led to the exploration of deflationary and minimalist approaches to the theory of truth, the prospects for deflationary and minimalist approaches to the theory of knowledge are investigated. While it is argued that deflationary approaches are ultimately unsatisfactory, a minimalist approach to epistemology, which characterises the concept of knowledge by a set of platitudes about knowledge, is defended. The first version of a minimalist framework for the theory of knowledge is developed. Two more substantive developments of the minimalist framework are discussed. In the first development a safety condition on knowledge is derived from the minimalist framework. Problems for this development are discussed and solved. In the second development, an ability condition is derived from the minimalist framework. Reason is provided to believe that, arguably, the ability condition can avoid the problems that beset traditional analyses of knowledge. It is also shown that even if this argument fails, minimalist approaches to epistemology may serve to provide a functional definition of knowledge. Reason is thus provided to believe that minimalist approaches to epistemology can make progress towards addressing the problem of the analysis of knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
Le travail de recherche qui sera présenté porte sur la mise en évidence des différentes formes du cuivre présentes et des échanges qui existent entre les fractions particulaires, dissoutes et colloïdales du milieu profond. Il s'intéresse à la zone de mélange entre les sources profondes et l'eau de mer. L'amélioration de nos connaissances et l'optimisation de l'instrumentation permettent aujourd'hui de proposer le développement d'une stratégie d'échantillonnage et d'une approche qui prennent en compte les contraintes associées à la nature et à l'accessibilité de ces milieux éloignés. Ce travail a donné lieu à la mise en place de méthodes d'analyse effectives pour la mesure du cuivre et de ses ligands. Nos résultats ont montré que la spéciation physique semble essentiellement contrôlée par le pH et l'évolution des caractéristiques oxydoréductrices du milieu au cours de la dilution du fluide hydrothermal par l'eau de mer. La spéciation chimique du cuivre semble quant à elle principalement contrôlée par les ligands soufrés et le caractère oxydant du milieu. Elle a montré que le milieu est globalement plus complexant sur le site hydrothermal Lucky Strike que dans le bassin de Guaymas. A l'échelle du fumeur, la pseudopolarographie et les mesures de capacité complexante ont montré que le milieu est plus complexant dans la zone anoxique, près de la source, que dans la zone oxique où le cuivre est généralement labile et en excès par rapport à ses ligands (ses concentrations peuvent atteindre 100 nM). Dans la zone oxique, environ 27% des complexes formés sont dissociés par oxydation, tandis qu'environ 73% des complexes organiques et inorganiques CuHS+ est stabilisée.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur l'intégralité de l'œuvre de Gherasim Luca. Chacune des étapes que traverse sa création y est examinée dans son contexte spécifique, depuis ses premières manifestations poétiques, en 1930, comme jeune recrue des cercles avant-gardistes de Bucarest, en passant par l'époque des interrogations sur la possibilité d'une littérature « prolétarienne » et par l'expérience proprement surréaliste, jusqu'aux derniers poèmes « ontophoniques » publiés de son vivant. Dans la continuité des travaux consacrés à l'œuvre et à la vie de Gherasim Luca, ma contribution enrichit et remanie, le cas échéant, l'information existante sous l'angle de la biographie, de la bibliographie et de l'analyse des textes. Un permanent effort d'historicisation sous-tend cette recherche qui s'appuie sur une exploitation systématique des documents (dont beaucoup d'inédits) conservés dans le fonds « Gherasim Luca » à la Bibliothèque littéraire Jacques Doucet et par une interrogation minutieuse des textes roumains du poète. À travers mon analyse se révèlent des éléments inaccessibles aux lecteurs n'ayant pas accès à la langue roumaine. Le même principe d'examiner les textes dans leur succession et dynamique historiques est adopté pour rendre compte de l'œuvre française. Remonter à la genèse des écrits est nécessaire, dans la mesure où cette dimension est souvent éludée dans les études existantesThis thesis takes as its object of study the whole of Gherasim Luca's literary output. Each stage of his Iiterary career is examined with regard to its specific context, from his poetic beginnings in 1930, as young recruit of avant-garde circIes in Bucharest, through the following period when Luca questioned the possibiIity of a "proletarian" literature and the surrealist experience itself, to his last published "ontophoniques" poems. My contribution is continuous with previous work on the work and life of Luca but it both enriches and modifies significantly earlier scholarship in the areas of biography, bibliography, and textual analysis. The fundamental, guiding, methdological principles of my study are: 1) to historicize Luca's literary works written in French and Romanian (i. E. , to examine the dynamic of his texts in their historical context and chronology); 2) to make systematic use of unpublished documents (especially those located in the "Gherasim Luca Archive" in the "Bibliothèque Jacques Doucet" in Paris) ; 3) to carry out a careful and close analysis of Luca's Romanian texts. My contribution is original in that it makes Luca's work accessible to readers who do not know Romanian. I also place particular emphasis on elucidating the genesis of the poet's writings. This is necessary because this dimension has been neglected in the work of previous critics

Full textAbstract:
L’analyse de Pierrot le Fou, film de Jean-Luc Godard, convoque des outils linguistiques, sémiotiques, sémiotiques, psychanalytiques. L’approche évite les références externes : c’est l’objet qui suscite ma démarche et son organisation. Un film ne peut se fixer que dans notre mémoire, ce qui provoque de graves contresens dans l’analyse de films. Un descriptif rigoureux est donc nécessaire. Le « Livre I » passe en revue les discours qui s’entrecroisent dans Pierrot le Fou. La combinaison des éléments hétérogènes (images, sons, paroles, écrits) est étudiée à travers le dispositif de la narration. Le « Livre II » tente de cerner le mouvement de la création chez Godard, qui évolue entre désir et refus, espoir de la mort et déception de la vie. Stratégie et démolition des discours existants, d’un côté ; volonté de provoquer l’étincelle qui jaillira de rencontres inattendues entre les fragments arrachés à la réalité, de l’autre. Dans Pierrot le Fou, tout se justifie de lui-même de par sa relation structurelle au reste. La référence constante à la poésie (Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Céline) et à la peinture, révèle l’utopie profonde de Godard : il s’agit de renouveler le sens pour tenter de communiquer enfin. L’existence est telle que, pour susciter l’évidence de la Beauté, le film risque à tout moment l’annulation du sens. L’annexe propose un Découpage Dialogué, ainsi qu’un Diagramme qui offre un aperçu global de Pierrot le Fou : les données techniques sont mises en relation avec le déroulement du film. Blockhauss USA, un court-métrage de Le Hémonet, reçoit le même traitement. Ce court-métrage de 14 minutes, qui est à la fois un hommage à Pierrot le Fou et son pastiche, permet au Chapitre 3 du « Livre II » d’introduire un contrepoint à l’analyseThis analysis of Jean-Luc Godard’s film “Pierrot le Fou” makes use of linguistic, semiotic and psycho-analytic tools. This approach avoids external references: it is the object itself which has determined the structure and organization of my work. A film takesform and remains only in one’s memory, and this fact creates serious misinterpretations. A rigourous descriptive treatment is therefore called for. Book One is a review of the discourses which cut across one another in “Pierrot le Fou”. The combination of heterogeneous elements (images, sound, words, texts) is studied by focusing on the construction of the narrative. Book Two attempts to grasp the creative movement in Godard’s work which wavers between desire and refusal, and between death wish and despair with life. On the one hand, he employs a strategy aimed at demolishing the existent discourses; on the other hand, he wants to bring into unexpected confrontation bits of life torn away from reality, and to make of them poetry. In “Pierrot le Fou” every detail is justified by its relation to other details and to the whole. The continual reference to poetry (Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Céline and to painting reveals the profound utopianism of Godard: this means renewing meaning in order to communicate at last. His demand is such that in order to bring Beauty into evidence, the film at any given moments seems to threaten to destroy meaning altogether. The appendices include the screenplay, as well as a diagram of the entire film: the technical details are show in their relation to the unfolding of the film. “Blockaus USA”, a short film by Le Hémonet, is treated in the same manner. This short which lasts 14 minutes is both in recognition of “Pierrot le Fou” and its pastiche; its inclusion makes it possible to introduce, in Chapter 3 of Book Two, a counterpoint in the analysis

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: This study investigates the conservation status, previous intervention, executive techniques and pigment materials of the painting “SPOSALIZIO DI S. CATERINA”, attributed to Adriaen Isenbrant back to 16th century. The analysis was carried out based on the combination of scientific examination and restoration exploration. The scientific examination includes both in-situ non-invasive techniques and laboratory micro-destructive techniques. Non-invasive examination consists of the application of ultraviolet fluorescence (UVF), infrared reflectography (IRR), infrared false color (IRFC) and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF), whereas micro-destructive analysis comprises optical microscope (OM). The obtained results revealed that the painting was in a relatively good condition with several times of previous restoration, it was painted with typical Flemish painting techniques and materials in 16th century: a panel made of chestnut wood, a preparation layer composed of lead white colored in pale grey and brownish-orange, few of underdrawings and some pentimenti, with the palette composed of cinnabar and red ochre for red, verdigris or malachite for green, azurite for blue and yellow ocher for yellow. Moreover, this study provides an evidence that restoration, in particular during the cleaning of the painted surface and panel restoration process, is also acting as a very useful tool for painting investigation, being complementary with scientific examination, therefore it is of necessity to correctly and timely gather the information during the restoration process.

Full textAbstract:
La ricerca propone una lettura pedagogica del disagio esistenziale degli adolescenti: un fenomeno che assume toni sempre più allarmanti nella nostra società. In riferimento ai consueti modelli interpretativi, di carattere psichiatrico, psicologico e sociologico, si avanza l’ipotesi che la frustrazione dell’inalienabile motivazione umana di trovare un senso nella vita possa costituire la matrice comune alle molteplici forme in cui si esprime il malessere giovanile: il bullismo, la demotivazione, il disorientamento, l’apatia, l’aggressività e la tossicodipendenza. Tale insoddisfazione esistenziale non può non chiamare in causa l’educazione e la modalità, specificatamente pedagogica, di rispondere al disagio facendo leva sull’educabilità e sulle risorse potenziali dei soggetti in formazione, al di là sia degli elementi patologici che dei bisogni da soddisfare. Così, alla luce dell’Analisi Esistenziale di Viktor E. Frankl, che funge da quadro teorico di riferimento lungo l’intero percorso di studio, si delineano i contorni della dimensione esistenziale del disagio degli adolescenti, nonché i fondamenti di un’antropologia pedagogica capace di legittimare le esigenze di significato della persona. La ricerca si conclude con la proposta di alcuni lineamenti metodologici utili per declinare la finalità generale dell’«affinamento della coscienza», cuore di un’educazione autenticamente orientata alla ricerca di senso.The research suggests a pedagogic reading about adolescents’ existential disease: a phenomenon which assumes more and more alarming appearances in our society. Referring to usual interpretative psychiatric, psychological and sociological models, we express the hypothesis that the frustration of the inalienable human motivation of giving sense to life could be the common matrix of the various forms of youth disease: bullying, unconcern, disorientation, apathy, aggressiveness and addiction. This existential dissatisfaction involves education and the pedagogic way to give an answer to uneasiness through educability and potential resources of the growing subjects, beyond pathological elements and needs to be fulfilled. So, considering Viktor E. Frankl Existential Analysis, which is the theoretic background of this research, the borders of the existential dimension of the adolescents' discomfort reveal themselves, together with the foundation of a pedagogic anthropology able to legitimate the human being’s needs of meaning. The research ends with a proposal of some methodological features, useful to explain the general aim of the “conscience refinement”, heart of genuine search of meaning oriented education.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis, the South African legal system's attempt to address sexual violence is explored through the lens of the work of the French feminist philosopher, Luce Irigaray. It will be argued that the South African equality jurisprudence lays the foundation for a strongly Irigarayan approach to the transformation of sex and gender relations in so far as our right to equality can be interpreted as being underpinned by an acknowledgment of embodiment, sexual particularity and difference. Our Constitution envisions equality as a value informed by difference rather than sameness and, in accordance with Irigaray’s work, it can be said that the implication of this is that the pursuit of the transformation of sex and gender relations on the one hand, and an acknowledgment of sexual difference on the other, are not mutually exclusive, but that sex equality instead calls for a fundamental recognition of sexual difference and an authentic response to the demands thereof. However, it will be argued that our newly reformed sexual violence legislation undermines the progress made on a constitutional level by entrenching a problematic approach to sexual difference in the definition of the crime of rape. This is done through firstly, defining the crime of rape in gender-neutral terms and secondly, retaining the concept of consent as the distinguishing characteristic between sex and rape. I will argue that through these features, our sexual violence legislation reflects the most basic mistakes that Irigaray identifies with the law. It will be argued that the legislation, on the one hand, denies sexual difference in a way that is prejudicial to women through its gender-neutral language, while at the same time, through the concept of consent, (re-)introducing a hierarchical construction of masculine and feminine sexuality into the Act in terms of which femininity is construed as derivative of, and inferior to, masculinity. Furthermore, the combination of the gender neutrality of the definition and the concept of consent exacerbates the situation, in so far as the gender neutrality masks the harmful construal of sexual difference that is incorporated in the definition through the concept of consent. Accordingly, judged from an Irigarayan perspective, the South African sexual violence legislation is deeply problematic. In addition, the legislation undercuts important constitutional developments, in so far as it ignores the constitutional insights that, firstly, sexual violence is a problem of sex inequality, and that secondly, the pursuit of the transformation of sex and gender relations is served, rather than undercut by a concern with particularities. On this basis, it is argued that the South African sexual violence legislation should be amended so that the concept of consent is removed and the crime of rape is defined in sex-specific language (while still allowing for male victims and female perpetrators) that facilitates judicial understanding of the complexities of the crime of rape.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie tesis sal die Suid-Afrikaanse regsisteem se poging om seksuele geweld aan te spreek, deur die lens van die werk van Luce Irigaray, ‘n Franse feministiese filosoof, ondersoek word. Daar sal geargumenteer word dat die Suid-Afrikaanse gelykheidsjurisprudensie ‘n grondslag vir ‘n sterk Irigarayiese benadering tot die transformasie van geslagsverhoudinge lê, in soverre ons reg op gelykheid geïnterpreteer kan word om in ‘n erkenning van beliggaming, seksuele spesifiekheid en verskil (“difference”) begrond te wees. Ons Grondwet stel gelykheid as ‘n waarde wat deur verskil eerder as eenvormigheid geïnformeer is, voor oë, en in lyn met die werk van Irigaray, kan daar gesê word dat die implikasie hiervan is dat die nastrewing van die transformasie van geslagsverhoudinge aan die een kant, en die erkenning van geslagsonderskeid (“sexual difference”) aan die ander, nie wedersyds uitsluitlik is nie, maar dat geslagsgelykheid eerder juis ‘n fundamentele erkenning van geslagsonderskeid en ‘n outentieke reaksie op die eise daarvan, noop. Daar sal egter geargumenteer word dat ons nuuthervormde wetgewing oor seksuele geweld die vordering wat op ‘n grondwetlike vlak gemaak is, ondermyn deur ‘n problematiese benadering tot geslagsonderskeid in die definisie van die misdaad van verkragting te verskans. Dit word bewerkstellig deur eerstens, die misdaad van verkragting in geslagsneutrale taal te formuleer, en tweedens, om die begrip van toestemming as onderskeidende kenmerk tussen seks en verkragting, te behou. Ek sal argumenteer dat dit deur hierdie eienskappe is, wat ons wetgewing oor seksuele geweld die mees basiese probleme wat Irigaray in die reg identifiseer, weerspieël. Daar sal voorgehou word dat die wetgewing, aan die een kant, deur die geslagsneutrale taal, geslagsonderskeid ontken op ‘n manier wat vrouens benadeel, terwyl dit terselfdertyd, deur die begrip van toestemming, ‘n hiërargiese verhouding tussen die manlike en die vroulike in die wetgewing daarstel, in terme waarvan die vroulike as derivatief en minderwaardig tot die manlike verstaan word. Verder, die situasie word deur die kombinasie van die geslagsneutraliteit van die definisie en die begrip van toetsemming, vererger deurdat die geslagsneutraliteit van die taal die skadelike vertolking van geslagonderskeid wat deur die begrip van toestemming in die definisie ingesluit word, verberg. Dus, vanuit ‘n Irigarayiese perspektief is die Suid-Afrikaanse wetgewing oor seksuele geweld diep problematies. Verder, die wetgewing ondermyn belangrike grondwetlike ontwikkelinge in soverre dit die volgende grondwetlike insigte ignoreer: eerstens, dat seksuele geweld ‘n probleem van geslagsongelykheid is en tweedens, dat die strewe na transformasie van geslagsverhoudinge gedien, eerder as ondermyn word deur ‘n besorgdheid met die partikuliere. Op hierdie gronde word daar geargumenteer dat die Suid-Afrikaanse wetgewing oor seksuele geweld gewysig behoort te word, deur die begrip van toestemming te verwyder en die misdaad te definieer in geslagspesifieke taal (op ‘n manier waardeur manlike slagoffers en vroulike oortreders steeds ingesluit word) wat geregtiglike begrip van die kompleksiteite van die misdaad van verkragting bemiddel.

Full textAbstract:
Competitive intelligence (CI) is one of the fastest growing fields in the business
world South Africa included; yet little quantitative research has been conducted
or published on the development and use of CI in South Africa. CI is concerned
with the methods companies use to monitor their competitors, their own
competitive position, and to improve their competitiveness. It is not a new
business activity but modern CI is more focused, formal, organised and
actionable.
CI is not an activity limited to a few countries or companies in certain industries;
it is a worldwide phenomenon. Most of the Fortune 500 companies use CI
extensively. Literature shows some countries such as France, Japan, Sweden
and the USA to be more advanced in their embracement of CI as a means to
enhance competitiveness. In these countries, CI is a recognised business
discipline and has become a major source to achieve competitive advantage.
They are also developed in terms of the role government plays in supporting CI
activities.
Another indicator of CI as a growing practice worldwide is the development of
the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals (SCIP). Globally, SCIP
chapters have taken root in all continents. Moreover, SCIP Europe, SCIP Italia,
SCIP Australia and SClP Deutschland are part of a growing worldwide network of SCIP affiliates, i.e. independent organisations that have formally affiliated
with SCIP.
Leaders in the field of CI training are France, Japan, Israel, Sweden, and Korea
while Europe is beginning to appreciate the importance of CI as a corporate
tool. Some practitioners suggest that in the near future, all MBA programmes in
Europe will include CI as a core subject and that the investment community will
be looking at companies' track records in terms of their CI practices (Blagg,
2002).
In comparison, CI in South Africa is still in its infancy (Muller, 1999). However,
with South Africa's competitive landscape being reshaped, the need for CI as a
means to enhance competitiveness has grown rapidly. Research into CI in
South Africa has been limited. The first comprehensive research projects were
launched in the beginning of the century. Very few companies then knew about
CI, let alone practice it. But that did not mean that companies did not monitor
competitors and other external events. There was just no formalised structured
approach in assessing their environment. Since then, a team of researchers
came together to find an answer to the question: What is the level of
development and deployment of CI in South Africa? The findings of the
research indicated a realisation among South African companies that they will
have to take pro-active steps based on available information in order to survive.
An assessment of current programmes in CI at South African learning
institutions revealed a lack of formal academic programmes. Current
programmes are mainly limited to short courses in basic CI principles. At
present there are no CI courses presented at secondary schools in South
Africa, and although some progress has been made in the development of
courses, much still needs to be done. Programmes should also be presented at
business schools at MBA level or at least as part of management and
leadership training.
A detailed description of the development of CI in South Africa in the areas of
research, consulting and training is provided in Chapter 2. To illustrate the CI
practice in a company, a case study is discussed in Chapter 3 to examine and
analyse the development of the CI capability in one of the most prominent
pharmaceutical companies. The pharmaceutical industry provides an
appropriate example of an industry that undergoes constant and rapid change.
Various areas of CI still need to be researched including CI in the academy as
well as further studies on how companies in South Africa conduct CI. This
study aims to add to the growing database of research into CI in South Africa.
For the first research article (chapter 2) two research methods were used i.e. a
literature study irto CI as a business discipline and a qualitative design
(interviews) to obtain information from leaders in CI in South Africa. Given that
CI is still in its infancy, the sample was small and included all recognised
knowledgeable people on Clin South Africa.
For the second research article (chapter 3) the same two research methods
were applied. Both a qualitative design (interviews) and a questionnaire were
used for the collection of primary information on the targeted company. The
interviews were conducted with the CI manager in the company that was
targeted for the case study. The sensitive nature of CI meant that permission
for the publication of the case study had to be obtained provided a disguised
name was used.Thesis (MA (Public Management and Governance))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

L'identification des fondements de la locomotion passe par la compréhension des structures anatomiques et des mécanismes mis en jeu lors de ce mouvement. Les études expérimentales en biomécanique ont ainsi permis de mettre en évidence un grand nombre d'invariants tels que la minimisation de l'énergie. En paléoanthropologie, lorsqu'il s'agit d'étudier l'influence de la morphologie sur le mouvement, l'approche par« anatomie comparée» est la plus utilisée. A partir d'observations sur les espèces actuelles, cette approche propose un certain nombre d'hypothèses locomotrices pour des espèces fossiles. Toutefois, la plupart des analyses en paléoanthropologie se focalisent sur une partie isolée du squelette (la hanche, le genou ou le bassin par exemple) et il est difficile de faire fonctionner ensemble des caractéristiques anatomiques de nature très différente et provenant de différentes parties du corps. Dans ce travail, nous proposons d'adapter des méthodes de simulation du mouvement bipède afin d'étudier les relations entre les paramètres anatomiques et le mouvement. Nous proposons, dans un premier temps, une méthode pour modéliser des squelettes et les exploiter pour la simulation. Nous décrivons ensuite une solution pour calculer les mouvements de la chaîne articulaire pelvienne à partir d'une trajectoire connue des pieds. Enfin, nous décrirons comment cette précédente méthode peut être utilisée pour simuler une locomotion bipède incluant le calcul de la trajectoire des pieds. Après avoir validé cette approche globale chez l'homme, nous proposons une application à un chimpanzé et à un spécimen d'Australopithecus afarensis ("Lucy", A.L.288-1). L'application paléontologique vise à tester l'influence de la longueur de pas et de diverses reconstructions de squelettes sur les mouvements simulés. En plus de l'apport scientifique dans le domaine de l'analyse du mouvement, ce travail a des implications directes dans le domaine des activités physiques et sportives afin de comprendre les fondamentaux de la performance motrice

Full textAbstract:
The primary aim of this project is to provide a close contextual and textual analysis of the selected children’s classics: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Anne of Green Gables and The Secret Garden using the feminist literary theory. From this perspective I have shown how the selected works of Lyman Frank Baum, Lucy Maud Montgomery and Frances Hodgson Burnett’s writing have contributed to women’s stereotypical roles within society and perpetuated their subjugated position. I have also conducted an examination of the extent to which the female protagonists attempt to emancipate themselves from gender oppression. A comparative study of the selected children’s texts has not yet been conducted and therefore this project serves as a significant contribution to this field of study. An exploration of the historical background of the authors and children’s literature is conducted to provide an overview into the inner workings of the writers’ lives and the historical significance of children’s literature as a genre. The theoretical framework of feminist literary theory is used in the analysis of the selected texts. The connection between feminist literary theory and children’s literature is highlighted and provides further understanding of the purpose of this study. The history of feminism as both a movement and a contemporary literary criticism is explored. Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex is used when analysing the texts’ characters and how they are based on society’s stereotypical gender roles. Luce Irigaray’s Speculum of the Other Woman and This Sex Which is Not One is examined to aid in an exploration of psychological female oppression through feminine and masculine discourse evident in the creation of the novels’ female and male characters. Hélène Cixous’ “The Laugh of the Medusa” and The Newly Born Woman is interrogated according to the stereotypical ideology surrounding the terms masculinity and femininity and how these terms are interpreted in the selected works. Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble and Undoing Gender are additionally explored to assist in the understanding of the concept of gender performativity and through the lens of Butler’s interpolation of gender the move towards the emancipation of women is seen in the selected children’s texts. The close textual feminist analysis focuses on the female protagonists: Dorothy, Anne and Mary as well as the secondary female characters: the wicked witches, Aunt Em, the Queen of the Field-Mice, the princess made from china, Glinda’s female soldiers from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz; Marilla Cuthbert, Rachel Lynde and Diana Barry from Anne of Green Gables and Martha, Mrs Sowerby and Mrs Craven from The Secret Garden. The portrayal of the secondary male characters are additionally explored according to feminist literary theory: The Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Lion and the wizard Oz from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz; Matthew Cuthbert and Gilbert Blythe from Anne of the Green Gables’ and Mr Craven, Colin Craven and Dickon Sowerby from The Secret Garden. The comparison of these children’s classics by Baum, Montgomery and Burnett provides insight into the selected works of all three writers, through the lens offered by feminist literary theory. Through the interrogation of these representative female protagonists found in early children’s literature, an understanding of not only the subordination of women, as evident in literature during this era, is illustrated but also the comprehension that women’s liberation was foreshadowed in these early children’s novels.

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse est de comprendre comment Luc Ferrari construit l'hétérogénéité de sa musique. Le compositeur conçoit la création comme un espace dans lequel, d'après ses mots, des idées qui n’ont pas « fatalement de liens entre elles » se rencontrent. L’œuvre devient alors un espace de cohabitation, de frottement, dans lequel d’autres composantes partagent l’espace avec « la musique », au sens étroit du terme. Avec les propositions lieu, récit et expériences, il sera question de tentatives pour caractériser ces composantes autres qui constituent l’hétérogène ferrarien. Dans la première partie, « musique et lieu », nous voyons comment les œuvres deviennent, par moments, des lieux. Des espaces réels, extérieurs, en rapport à un vécu. Á ce propos nous analyserons Hétérozygote. Dans la deuxième partie, « musique et récit », nous étudions l’importance que le compositeur donne à la narration dans ses œuvres, partant de sons anecdotiques jusqu’à l’évolution générale de scénarios. Avec l’analyse de Far-West News, nous mesurons comment Luc Ferrari construit des œuvres qui s’appuient tout autant sur une forme musicale que sur le développement des histoires. Enfin, avec la troisième partie « musique et expériences », nous voulons faire référence à une confluence de vécus : les anecdotes présentées par Luc Ferrari résonnent dans le vécu des auditeurs, qui déversent leurs expériences au sein des œuvres. Par l’expression de son vécu, Luc Ferrari appelle et travaille avec ces expériences subjectives des auditeurs, qui partagent aussi l’espace des œuvres. L’œuvre à analyser dans cette partie est Chantal, ou le portrait d’une villageoiseThe objective of this thesis is to understand how Luc Ferrari builds the heterogeneity of his music. The composer conceives creation as a space in which, according to his words, ideas that do not “necessarily have links between them” meet each other. Pieces then become a space of cohabitation, of friction, in which other components share space with "music", in the narrow sense. The propositions “place, story and experiences” are attempts to characterize these others components that constitute the heterogeneous of Ferrari’s music. In the first part, "music and place," we see how pieces become, at times, places. Real spaces, externals, in relation to a lived experience. In this part we will analyse Hétérozygote. In the second part, "music and story", we study the importance that composer give to the narrative in his work, starting from the sons anecdotiques to the general evolution of scenarios. With the analysis of Far-West News, we measure how Luc Ferrari’s works rely as much on musicals forms as on the development of stories. Finally, with the third part, "music and experiences", we want to refer to a confluence of experiences: the anecdote of the composer resonates in the experience of the listeners, who dump their experiences into the pieces. Through the expression of his experience, Luc Ferrari calls and works with these subjective experiences of listeners, who will also share the spaces of works. To explain this idea, we will analyse Chantal, ou le portrait d’une villageoise

Full textAbstract:
Solos for euphonium with electronic media present the unique challenge of incorporating an active, physical involvement in the live accompaniment through sound-altering technology such as guitar pedals or digital processors. Instructions for this solo genre are often vague and demand a general knowledge of how to use non-traditional devices. Due to the lack of information available on newly-composed pieces for this medium, students and professionals easily overlook the artistic merit of electroacoustic music. This dissertation provides a comprehensive performance guide that aids in the set-up and operation of advanced technology and presents a methodical approach to performing common musical and technical challenges found in modern euphonium repertoire with electronic media. Included in this dissertation are tables of common audio vocabulary and images of connectors, safety precautions, equipment recommendations with performance settings, a list of required connectors, adapters, cables, speakers, and amplifiers, performance set up diagrams, background information, and analyses of both the technical and musical aspects of each piece. In the appendices are signal flow charts, visual illustrations of polar recording patterns, and an updated catalog of published and unpublished original, adapted, and arranged euphonium solos with live electronics and electronic media accompaniment between 1970 and 2017.

Full textAbstract:
Head Chop is a practice-led research project exploring the thinking of community found within the works of Georges Bataille, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Maurice Blanchot. Using the central exchange between Nancy and Blanchot, as found in the triple intersection of texts composed of Nancy's Inoperative Community, Blanchot's The Unavowable Community, and finally Nancy's recent The Disavowed Community, Head Chop draws upon the interfaces of these three works to develop a reading of community. Utilising the concept of fictioning, an imaging of possible worlds, as its primary methodology, Head Chop develops a narrativised analysis of community. The story of Acéphale, Bataille's secret society, provides the structuring fiction of the work. This story is developed from a synthesis of fragmentary accounts of the Acéphale group's sacrificial ambition, and the illustrations of the Acéphale journal. The result is a tale of a human sacrifice from which the being Acéphale subsequently arises. In tracing the relation of the work of Nancy and Blanchot to the work of Bataille, Head Chop draws attention to the role of the figure of Acéphale for Bataille, and its subsequent insinuation in the work of Nancy and Blanchot. The figure of Acéphale operates as an editorial device that structures and informs the readings of these works as a common grounding and central problematic. This situates the readings of Bataille, Nancy and Blanchot in a contested frame of reference by attempting to accommodate an alternate version of the sacrificial event. Head Chop finds a basis for its methodological investigation in Deleuze and Guattari's work What is Philosophy? Excising and developing a series of figures and conceptual tools from the works of Nancy, Blanchot and Bataille, Head Chop develops a crossing of these figures and concepts as characters within the broader narrative of Acéphale. Following this methodological approach, Head Chop traces series of connected concepts in the works of Nancy and Blanchot. In developing these connections in relation to the Acéphale narrative, conceptual structures engaged in the thinking of community are drawn out into the broader contexts of Nancy and Blanchot's work. These connections are traced in Nancy through addressing such notions as the deconstruction of the subject, the question of authenticity in Heidegger, a re-reading of Heideggeran ontology that privileges Mitsein, and the singular plural. In Blanchot conceptual connections are similarly traced, beginning from the foundational role of the other, the challenging passion of lovers, through to death, unworking, and the question of testimony. In developing a narrativised analysis of the figure of Acéphale, Head Chop aims to open new channels of inquiry into the concept of community as it arises between the works of Bataille, Blanchot and Nancy. Research questions: How does a re-imaging of the Acéphale story, in which Acéphale is begotten, engage with Bataille, Nancy and Blanchot's readings of community? What is to be gained from the use of a re-imagined Acéphale story in a thinking of community?

Full textAbstract:
Les dernières élections présidentielles françaises montrent bien la saillance du populisme en France alors que 40 % de la population offre son appui aux deux partis de cette mouvance. Toutefois, le populisme en France, vu à travers les discours, reste un champ d’études sous étudié. Par conséquent, ce mémoire étudiera en quoi les discours populistes varient en fonction de l’orientation politique. Plus précisément, il explore d'une manière comparative le discours de deux politiciens populistes français : Marine Le Pen et Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Ce sont 38 discours non institutionnels et 53 discours institutionnels qui seront étudiés grâce au cadre théorique de Raoul Girardet. Ce dernier met de l'avant la présence de quatre mythes populistes dans les discours des politiciens français : le mythe de la conspiration, le mythe de l'âge d’or, le mythe du sauveur et le mythe de l'unité. Par la suite, une deuxième comparaison, cette fois entre les deux types de discours, sera aussi effectuée. Plusieurs résultats peuvent être tirés de cette étude. Il semble, en effet, que Le Pen et Mélenchon ne fassent pas une utilisation complètement similaire des quatre mythes dans leurs discours. Alors que le mythe de la conspiration et celui de l'unité sont utilisés de manière semblable par les deux politiciens, celui de l'âge d'or ne l'est qu'en partie. Le dernier mythe, celui du sauveur, est utilisé de façon comparable pour les sauveurs contemporains, mais non comparable pour ceux du passé. De plus, les discours de Mélenchon restent relativement stables en fonction du lieu, alors que ceux de Le Pen varient beaucoup plus.The last French presidential elections clearly show the salience of populism in France, while 40% of the population offers its support to the two parties of this allegiance. However, populism in France, seen through speeches, remains an under-studied field. Therefore, this dissertation will analyze how populist discourses vary depending on political orientation. More precisely, it explores, in a comparative manner, the discourse of two French populist politicians: Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. 38 non-institutional discourses and 53 institutional discourses will be studied with the help of the theoretical framework of Raoul Girardet. The latter highlights the presence of four populist myths in the speeches of French politicians: the myth of the conspiracy, the myth of the golden age, the myth of the savior, and the myth of unity. Subsequently, a second comparison— this time between the two types of speeches—will also be made. Several results can be drawn from this study. It seems that Le Pen and Mélenchon do not make a completely similar use of the four myths in their speeches. While the myths of conspiracy and of unity are expressed in a similar way by both politicians, the golden age myth is only partially demonstrated. The last myth (the myth of the savior) is used comparably in both politician’s speeches for contemporary saviors, but not for those of the past. In addition, Mélenchon's speeches remain relatively stable depending on the location, while Le Pen's vary considerably more.

Full textAbstract:
I den här uppsatsen har jag undersökt hur Jesus förkunnelse om Guds rike kan förstås utifrån Lukasevangeliet. Att närstudera ett enda evangelium, och dessutom inte hela evangeliet utan bara fyra perikoper i det, innebär en mycket tydlig avgränsning. Värdet i att försöka förstå vad Jesus säger utifrån denna enskilda sammanhängande källa är att den kan ha ett större djup än en bild som sätts ihop av ett godtyckligt antal fragment från olika källor. I Lukasevangeliet nämner Jesus ordet rike med syftning på Guds rike över 20 gånger fördelat på 18 episoder. Med metoden diskursanalys har jag delat in dessa ställen i tre kategorier som jag kallar diskurs A, B och C. Diskurs A handlar om att Guds rike har högsta prioritet, men beskriver inte riket. Diskurs B beskriver på olika sätt hur Guds rike är. Diskurs C omtalar Guds rike som ett löfte. De fyra perikoper jag analyserar i detalj representerar på olika sätt de diskurser jag identifierat i evangeliet som helhet. Luk 11:1-4 hör till diskurs A, Luk 11:14-23 och Luk 17:20-21 till diskurs B, och Luk 22:24-30 till diskurs C. Traditionen att författaren till dubbelverket Lukasevangeliet och Apostlagärningarna är just Lukas går tillbaka till mitten av 100-talet. Verket utmärks av universalism och en viss syn på rikedom och fattigdom som antagligen kom från författarens församling i Antiochia. Där predikades evangeliet för icke-judar, och där fanns engagemanget i de fattiga och behövande. Det var viktigt att inte fastna i det världsliga livet och lockas att samla rikedomar. Lärjungaskapet skulle vara helhjärtat. När Jesus talar om Guds rike i Lukasevangeliet kan det låta som om det handlar om ett territorium. Men begreppet Guds rike, i grundtexten ἡ βασιλείατοῦΘεοῦ, betyder snarare Guds herravälde. Det är inte ett område eller en plats, utan ett tillstånd som är bestämt av att Gud regerar. Samtidigt är det omöjligt att härska i ingenstans, så det finns ändå ett underförstått territorium i begreppet. Det fanns en dubbelhet i uppfattningen om Guds rike på Jesus tid som innebar att det både var en aktuell tillämplig föreställning på världens aktuella situation och en eskatologisk föreställning. Genom en detaljexegetisk analys av grundtexten för varje perikop har jag nått fram till slutsatser om texternas teologiska budskap om Guds rike. Analysen av Luk 11:1-4 visar att Herrens bön innehåller en indirekt beskrivning av Guds rike som ett idealtillstånd. Gud förutsätts ha makten att få riket till stånd, men människornas vilja och aktivitet spelar också roll. Perikopen Luk 11:14-20 visar att Guds rike är där Gud verkar. Det kan vara här och nu. Gud verkar i Jesus när han befriar en man från en stum demon. Men han verkar inte bara i Jesus utan i alla som gör gott. I perikopen Luk 17:20-21 ställs frågan när Guds rike ska komma, och Jesus svarar på ett sätt som får det att verka inom räckhåll redan i nuet. I Jesus löfte till lärjungarna om jämlik gemenskap med honom själv i sitt eget rike i Luk 22:28-30 jämställer han sig själv med Gud. Han lovar en framtid i härlighet för dem som är honom trogna. Ett försök till syntes av de teologiska budskap som analysen av varje perikop lett fram till är att Guds rike enligt Lukasevangeliet verkar syfta på det alltigenom godas seger över det onda. Begreppet mister dock inte sin mångtydighet och gåtfullhet för det. Det analyserna främst bidrar till är att belysa grundtextens möjliga betydelser, som med nödvändighet begränsas i varje översättning.In this thesis I have examined how Jesus' proclamation of the kingdom of God can be understood from the Gospel of Luke. A close examination of a single gospel, and moreover not the whole gospel but only four pericopes in it, narrows the scope considerably. The value in trying to understand what Jesus is saying based on this single coherent source is that it can have a greater depth than the picture put together by any number of fragments from different sources. In Luke's Gospel Jesus mentions the word kingdom as referring to the Kingdom of God over 20 times, in a total of 18 episodes. With the method of discourse analysis, I have divided these occurrences into three categories which I call the discourse of A, B and C. Discourse A is about the kingdom of God having the highest priority, but there is no description of the kingdom. Discourse B describes the kingdom of God in some way. Discourse C mentions the kingdom of God as a promise. The four pericopes I analyze in detail, in different ways represent the discourses I have identified in the gospel as a whole. Lk 11:1-4 belong to discourse A, Lk 11:14-23 and Lk 17:20-21 to discourse B, and Lk 22:24-30 to discourse C. The tradition that the author of the double work of Luke-Acts is precisely Luke, goes back to the mid 100's. The work is characterized by universalism and a certain vision of wealth and poverty that probably came from the author's congregation in Antioch. There the gospel to non-Jews was preached, and there was commitment in the poor and needy. It was important not to get caught up in the worldly life and be tempted to accumulate wealth. Discipleship should be wholehearted. When Jesus speaks of the kingdom of God in the Gospel of Luke, it may sound as if it is about a territory. But the concept of the kingdom of God, in the original text ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ means rather God's dominion. It is not an area or a place, but a state that is determined by God's reign. At the same time, it is impossible to rule ”nowhere”, so there is still a territory implicit in the concept. There was a duality in the perception of the kingdom of God in Jesus' time, which meant that it was both a way of conceiving the world's current situation and an eschatological concept. Through a detailed exegetical analysis of the basic text for each pericope I have reached conclusions on the theological message of the kingdom of God in the texts. The analysis of Lk 11:1-4 shows that the Lord's Prayer contains an indirect description of God's kingdom as an ideal state. God is assumed to have the power to bring the kingdom into being, but the human will and activity also plays a role. Pericope Lk 11:14-20 shows that God's kingdom is where God is at work. It can be here and now. God works through Jesus when he frees a man from a dumb demon. But he doesn't only work through Jesus but through all who do good. In pericope Lk 17:20-21 the question of when the kingdom of God will come is asked, and Jesus responds in a way that makes the kingdom seem within reach already in the present. In Jesus' promise to the disciples of equal fellowship with him in his own kingdom in Lk 22:28-30, he equates himself with God. He promises a future of glory for those who are faithful to him. An attempt at a synthesis of the theological messages that the analyses of the four pericopes led to, is that the kingdom of God according to the Gospel of Luke seems to refer to the victory of the perfect good over evil. The concept of the kingdom remains ambiguous and mysterious. What the analyses contribute to is mainly highlighting the possible meanings of the received text, which are inevitably limited in each translation.

Full textAbstract:
Le rédacteur lucanien termine son évangile par la scène conventionnelle où le Christ ressuscité charge ses témoins d'une mission. Ainsi, le kérygme pascal résume le cœur de l'annonce de la Bonne Nouvelle aux Juifs et à toutes les nations. La forme brève de cette révélation finale est souvent signalée par tous ceux qui désirent comprendre le projet global de Luc. Cependant il est possible d'approfondir le sens de Le 24, 46-48 à la lumière des discours missionnaires du Livre des Actes des Apôtres. Notre hypothèse de recherche consistait à déterminer comment, à l'intérieur des discours missionnaires, Luc reprend et développe le schéma fondamental du kérygme chrétien livré pour la première fois par le Christ, au jour de Pâques. A l'aide des méthodes historico-critiques jointes à la perspective de l'analyse structurelle, nous avons d'abord étudié Le 24, 46-48, en soulignant les interrogations que soulevait cette péricope. Puis, nous avons analysé les discours missionnaires en considérant de quelle manière le rédacteur lucanien répond lui-même à ces questions. Cette recherche a permis de confirmer l'unité entre l'ensemble du troisième évangile et les Actes. L'étude des discours missionnaires a démontré la cohésion et l'amplitude du schéma de la révélation pascale comme base de tout discours chrétien, selon la perspective de Luc.

Ce mémoire de maîtrise porte sur l’intégration de l’improvisation dans la création de trois de mes œuvres récentes. Ces œuvres sont : Nyctophilia – minimum 11’00’’ – pour quatuor à cordes et soliste improvisateur ; Æther – 10’ – pour trio à instrumentation non définie ; Presqu’étoile – 10’ – pour grand orchestre. En guise d’introduction, je présente mes préoccupations artistiques, l’origine de mon travail ainsi que la dualité qui semble opposer l’improvisation et la composition. Je dresse ensuite, en lien avec mes influences personnelles, un bref portrait de l’improvisation dans le jazz et dans la musique savante axé sur la seconde moitié du 20e siècle. Finalement, les œuvres font l’objet d’une analyse ciblée afin de démontrer les moyens utilisés pour intégrer l’improvisation dans la composition. Chacune des trois œuvres expose un moyen spécifique issu de ma réflexion et de mes recherches afin de gérer l’improvisation : Nyctophilia – axe de gestion de l’information ; Æther – conversationnalité et improvisation libre ; Presqu’étoile – comprovisation à partir d’Æther.The focus of this master’s thesis is the integration of improvisation in three of my recent pieces: Nyctophilia – minimum 11’00’’ – for string quartet and soloist improviser ; Æther – 10’’ – for a trio of undetermined instruments ; Presqu’étoile – for full orchestra. As an introduction, I present my artistic concerns, the origin of my work, and the seeming duality that places improvisation in opposition to composition. Then I draw, according to my personal influences, a brief portrait of improvisation in jazz and in art music, primarily in the second half of the 20th century. Finally, I analyze three of my pieces to show the means utilized to integrate improvisation into composition. Each piece exhibits a specific way to manage the inclusion of improvisation, these methods being the result of my reflections and research. Nyctophilia – axis as a means of information management ; Æther – conversationnality and free improvisation ; Presqu’étoile – comprovisation in relation to Æther.

Full textAbstract:
L’Analyse du Cycle de Vie (ACV) est une méthode d’évaluation multicritère des impacts environnementaux des biens et services. A ces débuts, l’ACV, dite Attributionnelle (ACVA), s’est attachée à analyser les impacts environnementaux dans des situations statiques pour la réalisation d’études comparatives, la communication environnementale et le développement de produits. De récents développements méthodologiques ont vu l’émergence de l’ACV Conséquentielle (ACVC) qui vise à quantifier les impacts directs et indirects de changements, via les mécanismes de marchés, permettant ainsi l’évaluation de politiques publiques. Cette thèse vise à proposer un cadre méthodologique pour l’évaluation d’instruments de politiques publiques dans le secteur de l’élevage laitier en combinant ACV et modèles économiquesElle s’articule autour de trois axes : i) identification et caractérisation des performances environnementale de technologies de production laitières par ACVA ; ii) adaptation du modèle économique MATSIM-LUCA pour les besoins de la thèse ; iii) évaluation par ACVC des impacts environnementaux de la suppression des quotas laitiers et de l’introduction d’une prime à l’herbe en Europe. Les travaux réalisés fournissent : i) une première proposition méthodologique pour l’évaluation d’instruments de politiques publiques par ACVC dans le secteur de l’élevage et ii) plusieurs pistes d’amélioration nécessaires pour rendre la méthode opérationnelle pour les décideurs publicsLife Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a multicriteria method to assess environmental impacts of goods and services. In its early stages, LCA, known as Attributional (ALCA), was used to assess environmental impacts in a status-quo situation for benchmarking, environmental communication and product development. Recent methodological developments led to Consequential LCA (CLCA), which aims to quantify direct and indirect impacts of changes, through market mechanisms, allowing for public policy assessment. The aim of this Ph.D. thesis is to develop a methodological framework to assess public policy instruments in the livestock sector by combining LCA and economic modellingThis thesis is organized into three axes: i) identification and characterization of environmental performances of dairy production technologies through ALCA; ii) adaptation of MATSIM-LUCA economic model to the needs of the thesis; iii) environmental impact assessment through CLCA of dairy quota removal and implementation of a grass premium in the European Union. This work provides i) initial development of a methodological framework for assessing public policy instruments in the livestock sector and ii) identification of several improvements needed to make the method operational for stakeholders

Full textAbstract:
Se pourrait-il que le cinéma ne se soit pas mis à parler parce qu’il avait quelque chose à dire, mais afin de faire parler la parole, de la mettre sur écoute, de renseigner les imaginaires discursifs qui configurent notre expérience commune ? Se pourrait-il que le langage soit ainsi inscrit au cœur du septième art, comme il fut au centre des savoirs de la modernité théorique ? Notre époque a inventé les moyens de reproduire techniquement la parole, mais n’a sans doute pas tout à fait pris la mesure de la révolution anthropologique induite par la visibilité exceptionnelle que ceux-ci lui donnent. Nous partons de l’hypothèse qu’il y a une pensée cinématographique du langage et de ses usages, un savoir (esthétique, rhétorique, poétique) qui s’ajoute à la parole dès lors qu’elle est représentée dans les films. Plaçant la parole filmée au centre de l’analyse de quatre fables cinématographiques — Fury (1936) de Fritz Lang, Fail Safe (1963) de Sidney Lumet, Salò (1975) de Pier Paolo Pasolini et Film Socialisme (2010) de Jean-Luc Godard —, ce travail donne à entendre quatre "leçons de langage", interrogeant les puissances et les infortunes de la parole dans un monde persuadé qu’il communique massivement. À quoi pensent les films quand ils parlent ? Entre autres choses, ils méditent la portée sociale et politique des actes de paroleCould it be that movies did not started talking because they had something to say, but in order to make the speech speak, to overhear it, to inform the discursive imaginaries that shape our common experience ? Could it be that language is at the very heart of the art of film, as it has been at the centre of modern theoretical knowledges ? Our times have invented the means of reproducing speech technically, but we have probably not fully appreciated the importance of the anthropological revolution induced by the exceptional visibility that it provides to it. Our hypothesis is that there is a cinematographic thought of language and of its uses, an aesthetical, rhetorical and poetical knowledge that is added to speech when it is represented in films. Putting the filmed speech in the centre of the analysis of four cinematographic fables — Fritz Lang’s Fury (1936), Sidney Lumet’s Fail Safe (1963), Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Salò (1975) and Jean-Luc Godard’s Film Socialisme (2010) — our work proposes four « language lessons », questioning the powers and misfortunes of speech in a world convinced that we communicate massively. What do films think when they talk ? Among other things, they meditate the social and political significance of speech acts
