Full textThe observed flow series include natural climatic variations and hydrological alterations due to human activities. Access to natural flows is necessary to optimise water resource management or for the regulatory control of uses. Naturalization methods enable to reconstitute "natural" flows from influenced measurements. In the studies, generally only a single naturalization method is applied, without justification of its choice, and that the naturalized flows are considered as an exact estimate of natural flow.The main objective of this thesis was to develop a method to assess the reliability of naturalization methods. The main difficulty is that, over the influenced period, it is not possible to directly compare the naturalized flows with the natural flow which cannot be observed. The approach adopted is based on a database of approximately 130 catchments in Australia, the United States and France. These catchments are mainly influenced by large dams. The size and diversity of the database in terms of climatic conditions and level of influence allowed us to obtain quite general results according to the characteristics of the basins.Results show that there are significant disparities in the flows obtained with the different naturalization methods. These differences can be explained by the fact that the naturalization methods are based on different assumptions and input data. The methodology proposed to assess the reliability of the methods in divided in two parts. The first part consists in assessing the assumptions of each of the naturalization methods and discarding those methods that do not validate the assumptions. The second part consists in evaluating the naturalization methods against a similar benchmark and assigning a confidence level to each of the methods. A combinatorial approach is then applied to produce naturalized flows

Full textThe dissertation analyses the naturalization from the point of view of the naturalized. The intention is to articulate a link between the trajectories of foreigners becoming French and the frames of action of the State that finds in the right to grant nationality an essential tool. I proceed from reconstructing the stakes of the distinction national/foreigner in order to highlight its importance for the invention of the welfare state. The national becomes a privilege; it is at stake in legal reforms of nationality by reaffirming the boundaries of the nation and the qualities of the "good" French. Thereafter nationality is imbued with ambiguity, coalescing a right and a cultural essence. Then I look at the moral careers of the "French by acquisition" in order to seize hopes and disillusionment from the novel situation, an experience of a cleavage between legal status and everyday reality. In spite of the continuous presence in France, the reminder of its temporary character creates a hiatus. Naturalization allows the disappearance of the foreigner without him physically leaving the national territory. However, it is an operation accompanied by a controlled assessment of the candidate's quality. The logic of honour is experienced through the suspicious anticipations regarding the future situation of such French citizen. Recurrent questioning of his origin signals his Frenchness as "extra"-ordinary. Naturalization thus institutes a distinction between the French, the true-born on the one hand and those with acquired Frenchness on the other. Such a distinction invites to rethink national boundaries and to dissect a paradoxical group of "foreign nationals"

Full textThis thesis investigates the injunction to assimilate in the procedure for acquiring French citizenship between 1927 and 2007. Firstly, l analyze the reasons and the circumstances surrounding which naturalization applicants were first required to be 'assimilated' in order to become French citizens. A socio-historical approach will demonstrate how “assimilation” came to be at once a religious, political and scientific concept and how its various uses and meanings were determined by its circulation in different discursive fields and between the French metropolis and its colonies. The inception of the assimilation requirement in French citizenship law is analyzed with reference to specific social and political configurations in both colonial and metropolitan situations. Secondly, I examine how the administrative bureau responsible for processing naturalization applications gauges candidates' level of “assimilation”. Socio-historical and ethnographic research conducted in local bureaucracy brings into sharp relief the invention and administrative uses of “assimilation” criteria, which are largely determined by historical circumstances, competing administrative approaches, the practices of street-Ievel bureaucrats and the “naturalisability” of the candidates in question. The objective reality of naturalization comes to the fore in cases where candidates have been denied naturalization for failure to 'assimilate' which mainly concern women and/or Muslims. The study of administrative litigation related to the failure to assimilate (défaut d'assimilation) raises issues such as the headscarf, polygamy and Islamic fundamentalism within the naturalization procedure

Full textFrom the 1990s onwards, the introduction or the reconfiguration of different policy instruments in the immigration policies of European states have sparked a theoretical controversy regarding the type of solidarity (juridico-political, moral, ethnocultural, etc.) that these states assume to exist between members of the ‘national community’. Through the implementation of citizenship tests, citizenship ceremonies, etc., the hypothesis of an affirmation of ‘thicker’ conceptions of citizenship – less open to the expression of a plurality of collective and individual identities within the ‘national community’ – has taken centre stage. This dissertation addresses this controversy by concentrating on the justifications of exclusion from naturalisation in France and the UK, namely incidences when naturalisation is either refused or revoked. To analyse the ‘thicker’ or ‘thinner’ character assigned to citizenship in the two countries and to assess its potential transformation over the last thirty years, the thesis draws on liberal, republican, communitarian and libertarian political theories and takes the institutional legacies of naturalisation and denaturalisation policies into account. It also examines the public discourses regarding integration into the ‘national community’ and the practices of officials who negotiate this integration. In so doing, it challenges the supposed historical divergence of citizenship conceptions in France and the UK, as well as the idea of a recent convergence between the two towards ‘thicker’ definitions of national membership

Full textWe study, in the present dissertation, the notion of experience in the philosophy of A. N Whitehead. We hold this notion for a concept, and we expose its reasons. The philosophy of Whitehead inscribes itself in what we call today, and since Quine, the Naturalization. We have then, with Whitehead, a naturalization of experience, that we put in context ; in his own period (the end of the XIX century and the first quarter of the Twentieth), and ours. When we compare some aspects of cognitive philosophy with the philosophy of Whitehead, we find many points of convergence. We enlighten some of them, and show the relevance of the thought of our philosopher. We have built our thesis like one would build a body ; by starting with the simplest elements, up to consciousness ; that is, from the most physical feeling, to the most abstract language. That allows us to shed light on the entire epistemology of Whitehead, wich is impressive. The all epistemological background of Whitehead has only one pupose : To offer a new paradigm for the thinking of experience. The aim of our dissertation is to make understandable that a theory of experience is absolutely necessary before any "superior" theory (of consciousness, of intentionality, or of the mind). One of our major discover is that empiricism is inappropriate for any theory of experience

Full textTranslation is a cultural matter. At first sight, it may appear as a search for equivalents in the transfer from one language to another. However, in depth translation analysis reveals much more than meets the eye. A literary text written in one language cannot be translated into another language without paying attention to its associated cultural background. It has become a truism today to say that individuals belonging to different cultures do not communicate in the same way; while the linguistic dimension is important, so is the cultural one, since cultural habits are at the root of all human actions.The title of this thesis, “The Trials of the Foreign: French Translations of Contemporary Sri Lankan Writers in English”, combines three key words: “culture”, “Sri Lanka” and “translation”. The broad research question we started out with is: how is it possible to convey Sri Lankan culture in French literary translation? The two countries are distant not only geographically but also in terms of practices and values. Therefore, a true encounter between East and West is at stake here, mediated by the English language, which the authors of the two Sri Lankan novels we study here chose as a medium of expression.In his or her attempt to identify viable equivalents of different cultural realities, the translator is confronted with decisions about whether differences should be mitigated or, on the contrary, preserved, in order to maintain the local colour. When cultural differences are smoothed over in translation and the target text contains very few traces, if any, of the source culture, the reader may have the impression of reading an original. On the other hand, when the source culture is given prominence, the translation has the potential to make the reader travel abroad, and gain new experience.The two literary works which make the object of our research, Michael Ondaatje’s Running in the Family (1982) and Shyam Selvadurai’s Funny Boy (1994), are imbued with Sri Lankan culture and pose significant challenges to translation. We draw on Lawrence Venuti’s (1995/2004) distinction between ethnocentric or domesticating translation (naturalisation) and foreignizing translation (dépaysement), while at the same time recognizing the importance of not taking this dichotomy for granted. And we assume, as Antoine Berman did, that translation is “openness, dialogue, blending and decentring” (1984: 16).We start by outlining a number of theoretical considerations about translation strategy, culture, and translating culture. We then carry out fine-grained analyses of the texts and endeavour to show how foreignization operates in Drôle de garçon (1998), the French translation by Frédéric Limare and Susan Fox-Limare of Selvadurai’s novel Funny Boy, and in Un air de famille (1991), the translation of Ondaatje’s Running in the Family by Marie-Odile Fortier-Masek. In the second part of our analysis, we focus on the strategy of domestication, which makes reading more fluent due to the mitigation of differences between cultures. Finally, we discuss some of the ways in which certain cultural facts remain untranslated, with implications for the integrity of the message, and the target readers’ experience of the text. We conclude that translation is indeed an encounter between cultures: a meeting that is fruitful and has the potential to enrich the literature of a new country, by allowing the reader to embark on a journey to a distant destination.Key words: culture, domestication, foreignization, Funny Boy, Michael Ondaatje, Running in the Family, Shyam Selvadurai, Sri Lanka, translation

Full textThis thematic and historical work aims to highlight the difficulties that can be encountered when we try to grasp what the egological life means from a phenomenological and scientific point of view. The questions that animate us are the following and rhythm the present work: what exactly does it mean to say "I"? ; What is the characterization of the egological life in Husserlian phenomenology? To what extent can the egological life be naturalized?Our path follows the Husserlian corpus for we consider that it is first necessary to clarify the meaning of the term “ego” in the perspective of an “analytic phenomenology”. This allowed us to understand that the indexical “I” can be the mark of a “descriptive ingenuity” which consists in an inability to fully describe a situation or a subjectivity expressing itself. Only a phenomenological understanding of the “I” may modify this conception by inducing that the presence of a subjectivity made of flesh and bones is an irreducible Nullpunkt. The phenomenological language, in addition to valuing the subjective part of live experience (Ichrede), also allows to modify our ontic conception of the meaning of termes used in order to describe a state of things from an eidetic point of view – a thing as correlate.By taking up this cardinal idea, we have subsequently attempted to solve the enigma around the I from a historical point of view on the basis a comparative study between Husserlian phenomenology and what critics made by Husserls disciples such as Reinach, Ingarden and Sartre. From then on, we were able to grasp the depth and validity of some critics made against the transcendental turn of phenomenology. Yet, these critics cannot go beyond or compromise Husserl'sthinking for this latter one overflows in our view the formal and sterile framework of an idealistic-realistic binarity. In this way, we wanted to highlight the renewal of phenomenology from the genetic point of view, starting with what we call the “phenomenological naturalism”, especially in regard to the treatment Husserl accorded to subjects such as birth, death, a(b)no(r)mality and animality. In doing so, we had the evidence to show that Husserl was only apparently an idealist and that his work contains the seeds of the naturalistic enterprise under developent for some decades.It was therefore necessary to show the correlations between the “classical” phenomenology and the naturalization of phenomenology through a study of contempory texts presented by authors such as F. Varela, N. Depraz or J-L Petit. It appeared to us that naturalization was still embryonic, but that it may in the near future, through researches on agentivity, depression or phenophysics, illuminate cognitive sciences from the perspective of a cogenerative and fertile study for it joins the first and third person perspectives. However, it seems to us that the naturalization of phenomenology remains more asubjective, in the sense given by Patocka, than fully phenomenological. In conclusion, we affirm that two types of phenomenology must be distinguished, as well as two types of naturalization, while arguing that it would be also wise to take into consideration the role of the enteric nervous system, in addition to the brain, in the characterization of subjective life

Full textL'histoire des origines du spleen français est l'histoire de son adoption linguistique et conceptuelle au cours du XVIIIe siècle. Nous considérons qu'il est grandement influencé par le contexte socio-historique qui facilite sa transmission de l'Angleterre en France, de sorte que nous le concevons comme une construction discursive formé par la production écrite de son époque. Ainsi, en début de siècle, est d'abord préparée son introduction par des textes qui le présentent sans le nommer, et en 1745 paraît sa première occurrence textuelle en langue française. Notre analyse des occurrences qui suivent révèle une richesse sémantique représentative du développement de la notion de spleen et éclaire en même temps son évolution et le processus de sa naturalisation qui aboutit en 1798 lorsqu'est consacré le terme par le Dictionnaire de l'Académie française.

Full textThe gift has been a major topic in anthropology and sociology of economics since Mauss’ The Gift. In the 1st chapter, the main notions of this writing (gift, debt, obligation, exchange) are studied in relation to Mauss’ commitment to socialism and mutualism, and to his vision of Bolchevism. The 2nd chapter looks at the gift in the works of C. Lévi-Strauss, Claude Lefort, Derrida, and in Kabylia’s ethnology (René Maunier, Bourdieu). The 3rd chapter defines the gift with respect to obligation, and differentiates it from other kinds of transfers of goods, such as taxes, fines, compensation, redistribution, and commerce, by looking at the works of Hobbes, Wittgenstein, David Lewis, J. R. Searle, Robert Lowie, K. Polanyi, M. Godelier, Alain Testart. The Potlatch and the Kula are examined in order to link technics, production, custom, political hierarchy and the circulation of goods. The 4th chapter treats the gift throughout the Middle Ages (by discussing the works of M. Bloch, G. Duby, Max Weber, N. Elias) : generosity, charity and alms. The role of the gift in the genesis of the tax system, the state and the church are studied. This gives way to a general classification of the transfers of goods. The concept of ‘metatransfer’ is defined, and its heuristic power is exposed. The final chapter investigates the necessity and universality of the gift, compares transfers of goods between humans to transfers of resources in the animal societies (reciprocal altruism, kinship altruism, group selection, sexual selection of caring, works of Wynne-Edwards, J. Maynard Smith, William Hamilton, F. De Waal), and examines the possibility of naturalizing the gift

Full textThe present dissertation aims at stimulating interdisciplinary research on the psychology of virtue, involving philosophical virtue theory – which has been studying moral excellence in human character for more than two millennia – personality psychology, social psychology and the psychology of expert performance. My first contribution is to the philosophy of psychology: uncritical reliance on the vague common sense concepts of “ trait” and “type” has been an obstacle for real progress in understanding human character. I am going to compare and clarify the use of these concepts in psychology, philosophy and common sense. Theories of personality are slowly finding their way out of a long crisis: inspired by the work of W.Mischel, I will show that the joint efforts of cognitive science and evolutionary psychology are needed to model personality processes correctly. As a second contribution, I am going to evaluate a neo-Aristotelian model of the psychology of virtue, based on the idea that we should strive for moral excellence in every relevant domain of life (unity of virtue). This model is based on ancient “generalist” theories of expert performance. Now, personality psychology and situationist social psychology show that the natural condition of human character is fragmentation and inconsistency. Contemporary psychology of expert performance proves that excellence in more that one or two domains is very rare. It follows that we should abandon the neo-Aristotelian model in favor of an account of specialized moral excellence in a limited number of virtues

Full textThis thesis addresses issues of gender in immigration and naturalization through the example of Marseilles from 1918 to 1940 by comparing the history of women and gender with the history of immigration. It adopts a new approach to immigration and population policies that examines the role of representations and of interactions between policy makers and individuals, particularly through the study of administrative practices. This research, conducted at both the national and local level, is based on a critical analysis of diverse sources: prefectorial and ministerial archives, printed materials (statistical studies, diverse publications, newspapers, etc. ). The aim of this study is to question how gender has affected the exclusion and integration of immigrants in a historical context marked by economic and demographic crises in France during the 1920s and 1930s. Different levels of analysis are reviewed: speeches and representations, immigration flows and headcount, immigration policies, the labour market, acquisition of citizenship (by decree or by marriage). Further, this thesis contributes to a broader understanding of the construction of a Nation-State from a gender perspective

Full textThe first part of this thesis offers a historical analysis of the French law of nationality and its implementation since the end of the XIXth century. At that time, it was shaped in its present form, especially regarding the link between law and favour. In the second part, naturalization proceedings are analysed as a confrontation between the (dominant) French civil servants on one side, and the (dominated) foreign applicants on the other. Finally, the thesis looks through the applicants' perceptions of the naturalization proceedings in which they engage, as well as the reasons why they decided to apply for French citizenship. The field work shows that obtaining French citizenship is pragmatically considered as means to get away from the status of foreigner. The application for naturalization is perceived as a trial but not really as a rite of passage : the fresh French citizen changes his legal status and gets a new one but in his mind, it does not imply changes in his personal nature

Full textDuring the last years around 100 000 immigrants have arrived to Sweden, people with different reasons and different goals for settling down in Sweden. The reason for immigrating to Sweden that will be dealt with in this thesis is following immigration, i.e. when someone moves here because they have relatives living in the country.
The reason why it is interesting to study following immigration is that it is an affecting factor for how many that will immigrate to Sweden the following years and may then be used to make a forecast, based on how many first time immigrants there are. To be able to investigate the following immigration analyses are made with time series, logistic regression and Poisson regression. An ARIMA-model has been used to estimate the number of following immigrants in the future.
The other part of this thesis will inquire the matter how inclined immigrants are to become Swedish citizens, whether they even apply for citizenship and also how long time it takes from the time when they fulfil the conditions for Swedish citizenship until they apply. Here also multiple logistic regression will be used and then ordinary regression.
The most common reason for permitted residence in Sweden is following immigration. Following immigration has increased since 1998, mainly over the last years there has been a substantial immigration increase. It is difficult to predict how the immigration will develop during the following years due to the occurred growth of immigrants at the end of the study period. Since 1998 about 5% of the persons that have got permitted residence in Sweden are association persons. Most common to be an association person is an older man and the reason he got permitted residence was asylum. The association persons have in average 3,16 following immigrants tied to them.
To be Swedish citizen through naturalization there are conditions that need to be fulfilled, for example, the immigrant has to have been settled in Sweden for a certain time. For the immigrants that fulfil this time condition there are about 79 % that apply for Swedish citizenship. The largest probability that an immigrant apply for citizenship occur if the person is young, woman and following immigrant. The ones that apply for citizenship are waiting in average 57 days until they are applying after they fulfil the time condition.
Under 2008 invandrade drygt 100 000 personer till Sverige, personer som invandrade av olika skäl och med olika mål med sin bosättning i Sverige. Den anledning för invandring till Sverige som framförallt behandlas i den här uppsatsen är att man har anhöriga i landet, vilket kallas följdinvandring.
Anledningen till att det är intressant att studera följdinvandring är att det är en påverkande faktor för hur många som kommer att invandra till Sverige under kommande år och kan alltså användas för prognoser, utifrån hur stort antalet förstagångsinvandrare är. För att kunna undersöka följdinvandringen analyseras den med tidsserier, logistisk regression och Poissonregression. Till skattningar av antalet följdinvandrare i framtiden har en ARIMA-modell anpassats.
Den andra delen av uppsatsen kommer att undersöka hur benägna invandrare är att bli svenska medborgare. Av intresse är om de alls ansöker om medborgarskap och givet att de gör det hur lång tid det tar ifrån det att de uppfyller villkoren för svenskt medborgarskap till dess att de ansöker. Även här kommer logistisk regression att användas och sedan linjär regression.
En av de vanligaste anledningarna till att få uppehållstillstånd är att man är följdinvandrare. Följdinvandringen har ökat sedan 1998, framför allt under de senaste åren då en kraftig ökning kan skönjas. Att en så stark ökning inträffar i slutet av perioden gör det svårt att förutsäga hur följdinvandringen kommer utvecklas inom de närmaste åren. Av de personer som sedan 1998 fått uppehållstillstånd i Sverige är idag ungefär 5 % anknytningspersoner. Att bli anknytningsperson är vanligast om man är äldre, man och har fått uppehållstillstånd på grund av asyl. Anknytningspersonerna hade i genomsnitt 3,16 följdinvandrare knutna till sig.
För att kunna bli svensk medborgare genom naturalisation krävs bland annat att man haft sin hemvist i Sverige under en viss tid. Av dem som uppfyllt tidskravet ansöker ungefär 79 % om medborgarskap. Störst sannolikhet att en person ska ansöka om medborgarskap är det om personen är ung, kvinna och följdinvandrare. De som ansöker om medborgarskap väntar i genomsnitt 57 dagar tills de ansöker efter det att de uppfyllt tidskravet.
Boirin-Blanchecotte, Carole. "L' adoption internationale." Dijon, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995DIJOD006.
Full textCompared to the so-called national adoption, international adoption leads to very special problems. The supreme court of appeal (the French "Cour de Cassation"), in two late rulings, endeavours to rule international adoption according to the law of the adoptant rather than the personal law of the child. This jurisprudence which ains at enabling French families to adopt children from different nationalities goes against foreign legislations. These legislations tend to ignore or even ban adoption or to know only some forms of adoption (simple adoption against total adoption). Hence, the problems caused when French families want to adopt children from foreign countries according to the French law or when the adoption was wade under foreign legislation. Therefore, we may rightly ask if, in the first case, it is possible to adopt children from countries despite foreign legislation, even if it means that foreign countries may not acknowledge the adoption. Last but not least, in the second case, is it possible that the French legislation gives full value to foreign legislation as far as adoption is concerned, as all the families who want to adopt currently require ?
Gueye, El Hadji Baye Ndiaga. "Histoire de la citoyenneté au Sénégal." Thesis, Toulouse 1, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014TOU10003.
Full textCitizenship, here is a notion inherited from colonist which people should certainly be proud of in Senegal. It still remains one of the rare prides for Senegalese people to enforce in the economic and social context characterized by poverty and troubles that have some consequences on the democratic life in general. However, it seems to be threatened by electoral crises that have been happening periodically in the country. The latest one was in 2012 caused by the presidential election and for that the citizenship notion appears to be reprieved. It is therefore an opportunity for us to relate again its history throughout this study. It has been first practiced in the rare French institutes of Senegal by only some inhabitants during the colonial context where it started in the middle of the 19th century. And then it was juridically consolidated in the beginning of the 20th century on the occasion of the four communes fully accredited, before being spread out to all the nationals of the colony in 1946. When the country became independent, Senegalese people finally embraced the notion to make it their own in order to adapt it to the evolution of the political community rather than eliminate it

Full textThe object of this thesis is to study two policies appearing to be paradigmatic of the way relationship to the other and the alien was thought about and conceptualised in France in the years 2000: policy against racial discrimination and policy of naturalization. Ln the end of the years 1990, the paradigm of racial discriminations was added to the existing policies, which until then had been structured by two major idea" integrating migrants and regulating migration flow. This new problematization seemed to call for the launching of a policy of otherness thought of to go beyond the previous analysis in terms of border. However, acknowledging the existence of racial discrimination is from the beginning ambivalent. Overmore, it is the question of the nation, and more precisely of the incorporation in nation through naturaliization that is the frame of this timid acknowledgment of racial discrimination and that is politically reinvested in a new way at this occasion. Based on a fieldwork, combining observation and interviews, this research intends to hold together a sociology of public policies and an anthropology of social practices. Lts purpose is to show that the actual redefinition of French policies of otherness cannot be analysed without taking into account the way the questions of migration, nation and racialization interfere in social space

Full textOur object of study is based on the naturalization of foreigners in France. Thus our goal in this research is to explain and make intelligible the phenomenon of acquisition of French nationality within the Algerian immigration. Our analysis is to relate changes in perceptions, motivations, strategies and desires of these "new" French, being also citizens of another country, with their backgrounds, their socio-professional status and their geographical origin. This raises the question of renewal of the modes of adaptation to the host society. Thus the relationship within the host society depends on the place the original society has in both daily life and in the representations of these "old migrants". Dual citizenship is generally determined by the ambivalent relationship between the two societies, first the original society to which we are attached, second with the host society in which we chose to live. This usually marks this dual identity by some forms of ambiguity and worse, suspicion. From there, questioning the relevance of the issue of civic allegiances in these "Franco-Algerian" is imposed on us. Based on empirical work, our study therefore fuels questions about the relationship between multiple allegiances and / or affiliations and modern citizenship. We are trying to answer this question by focusing and problematizing the question of allegiance to the nation state of the host country and confront it to the modern conception of citizenship that has emerged in recent decades within industrialized countries. In this perspective, this cross between modern citizenship and "multiple allegiances" allows us to reveal some essential questions in this research area as to the meaning and understanding of political participation in the host society and the issue of religious practice of Islam in this case

Full textThe evident evolution of political treatment of migration reveals that immigration and integration are becoming major issues in the future world politics. Indeed, contemporary immigration differs in many aspects from those witnessed during previous centuries, because it became more visible, "dramatic" and "dysfunctional". Today, the unpredictable and uncontrollable characteristic of this phenomenon deeply affect the traditional patterns of the Westphalian state and feeds fears in Western societies that can act as destabilization sources. We are then witnessing a shift in the political treatment of the migratory issue within the field of security. Ole Wæver helps us to understand this process through his concept of "securitization", by which he explains the current existence of a discursive process leading to a social fact, such as immigration, to become an issue of "societal security". However, his vision seems too narrow to be a relevant analytical tool in its own right. Thus, the contribution of some sociological tools provided by Bourdieu helps us in considering the "securitization" as a process not anymore being only discursive, but also potentially legislative. The use of a study both comparative and qualitative of naturalization’s legislations in France, the United States and Germany, allows thus to open a discussion on the role of naturalization as a security practice in the "securitization" of immigration

Full textIn Lithuania, fallow-deer appeared in parks at the 17-19 c. Supposedly they disappeared after the Second World War. In 1976-1977 up to 1988, 9 warrens were set up where fallow-deer were bred which gave start for fallow deer living in freedom in Lithuania. Under the last ten years in Lithuania, fallow deer increased in number. According to official data, in 1997, in eleven districts fallow deer amounted to 470, while in 2008, they amounted to 720 in twelve districts. In 1997, there were 81 fallow deer in 5 warrens. In 10 years the warrens increased intensely in number. In 2007, 32 warrens were registered, where the fallow deer amounted to 1019. The population of fallow deer living in freedom in Anykščiai district has been increasing since 1993 (14 fallow deer) to 2008 (80 fallow deer). Since 2007, they have been registered even in Utena district (10 fallow deer). The amount of fallow deer among cervine animals in Anykščiai district in 2005-2007 made up 23,4%; roes - 74,2%; red deer 2,2%; moose 0.1%. The structure of fallow deer‘s bevy is as follows: 24,4% bucks, 54,7% does, 21% calves. Additional feeding is very important to fallow deer. Almost half (46%) of fallow deer‘s traces in trans-sects are found at the distance of 100 m from feeding place, and the amount is decreasing at the larger distance: at the distance of 500 m – 29%, at the distance of 1000 m – 25%. The impact of feeding on roes is minimal.

Full textThe processes of assimilation and naturalisation are encountered by immigrants around the world in differing degrees. Every immigrant to a new state, is forced to adapt to their new society in certain ways, in order to be able to function successfully in their new community. This thesis aims to look at these processes as they are managed by organisations within the new society. The Maatskappy vir Europese Immigrasie (MEI) [Company for European Immigration] was one such organisation which operated in South Africa. The MEI was founded in 1949, following on from other organisations which had concerned themselves with immigrant recruitment, assimilation and assistance in general. This thesis posits that the MEI, whilst primarily directed at the assistance in assimilating immigrants, also maintained another socio-political agenda.

Full textIn the sector of nurseries and day care centers, the identity dimension at work weighs on relationships and professional activities. This thesis is centered on the professional group of early childhood educators: the recent changes in this profession are analyzers for the profound changes in this activity area which gradually abandons the historic health approach for a psychological and pedagogical approach. This work offers a critical reading of sociological theories of "professional identity" and professionalization through the prism of gender studies and psychoanalysis. It also reports the results of an empirical research conducted through a psychoanalytically orientated clinical approach. Identity is here conceived as a performative speech, according to the landmarks given by the queer theories. The empirical investigation is based on interviews with professional and on long-term observations of municipal and parental day care centers. The still overwhelmingly 'female' recruitment of the educators, as well as forms of suffering at work that this thesis presents in a new way, reflect the logical limits of "professional identity", the latter producing divisions and systems of categorical oppositions - the "professional" opposed to the "mother", the "female", "parenting” and to “chilhood” - that drive educators into dead ends and cause relational rigidities. The impregnation of educators by psychological knowledge strengthens the mother-professional binary opposition because of the importance given to the still naturalized mother-child relationship, despite the significance of discourse on parenthood

Full textThe expressions «philosophical style» and «style of thought» need to be radically reinterpreted. These expressions are used as if some tacit theory about thought would attribute it a stylistic property. We have at first searched for some general definitory criteria of stylistic properties, by analysing some extra-philosophical theories about style. We have afterwards analysed some philosophical theories about style and philosophical style : our conclusions are that these theories are not theoretically satisfying, for different reasons. We have analysed Sperber's and Wilson's Relevance Theory: this pragmatic/cognitive theory of human communication has a corollary about style, that appearas to be the right issue for a general comprehnsion of stylistic phenomenoa. We argue that stylistic Relevance Theory is explicative and flexible enough to allow its application to different domains. Concerning philosophical style, Relevance Theory has led us to a notion of philosophical style as « communicational style of philosophy ». Finally we have retraced the computo-representationalist theoretical frame of Relevance Theory, by maintaining that if we accept the Language of Thought hypothesis and the Massive Modularity of mind hypothesis, as all Relevance Theory sustainers do, and interpreting thought as a system of mental representations and propositional attitudes, it is necessary to eliminate the tacit thesis in favour of the existence of a stylistic property of thought in itself. This conclusion has opened us the possibility to analyse the notion of philosophical style adopting a cognitivist and naturalistic point of view of philosophical thinking and of its communication
