Abstract:

Apres Locke, Ricardo noue des liens, d'une part entre valeur et travail, d'autre part entre travail et nature. Pour comprendre la raison de ces liaisons, il faut situer les théories de Locke et de Ricardo comme réponses à celle de Hobbes et de Malthus qui, de manière opposée (artificielle pour le premier, naturelle pour le second) entendent contraindre la liberté individuelle. En nouant le lien valeur-travail, Locke comme Ricardo entendent au contraire affirmer la toute-puissance de la liberté individuelle, souligner l'historicité du monde que cette liberté peut créer. Pourtant, pour ne pas tomber dans le relativisme, il leur faut aussi spécifier cette liberté, trouver le fondement de cette historicité, ce dont se trouve charge le lien travail-nature. Pour cette raison, la théorie ricardienne est, fondamentalement, naturaliste. On a remarqué que Sraffa tranchait le lien noue par Ricardo entre valeur et travail. On a moins remarque que son économie était fondamentalement antinaturaliste et que, du point de vue épistémologique, la démarche sraffaienne opérait dans le domaine de la théorie économique une véritable révolution copernicienne. Une révolution qui conçoit les relations théorie-pratique, langage-action dans une perspective similaire à celle développée par Wittgenstein dans sa seconde philosophie
Next to locke, ricardo sets up links, on the one hand, between value and labour, and of the other hand, between labour and nature. To catch why these links have been set up, it is necessary to consider locke's and ricardo's theories as answers to hobbes'and malthus" theories wich, in opposite ways (an artificial one in the first case, and a natural one in the second case) aim at limiting individual freedom. On the contrary, by connecting value to labour, locke as ricardo aim at claiming the almightiness of individual freedom, and underlining the historicity of the world this freedom may create. Nevertheless, in order not to sink into relativism, it is also necessary to specify this freedom, to find out the basis of this historicity. This is what the connection labour-nature is entrusted with. That is the reason why the ricardian theory is fondamentally a naturalistic theory. It has been noticed that sraffa disrupted the link established by ricardo between value and labour. But is has been less noticed first, that this eocnomy was fondamentally an anti-naturalistic economy, and then, that from an epistemological point of view, the sraffaian way of proceeding was carrying out, in the field of the economic theory, a real copernician revolution; a revolution considering the connections theory-practice and language-action with an outlook similar to wittgenstein's in his second philosophy

Abstract:

Controversies drawn from the main thesis research question – asking what is the relationship between financial accounting calculation and nature – lead to the specification of research sub-questions. Firstly, how does financial accounting calculation communicate and/or construct the reality of humanity’s economic relationship with nature? Secondly, what is the role of financial accounting calculation in building markets for the purpose of addressing specific environmental problems? Thirdly, what kind of ontological relationship exists between financial accounting calculation and nature? These controversies are examined via two empirical case studies, utilising the principles of actor-network theory, and a conceptual discussion that draws from these cases and from literature on financial markets. The first empirical case study seeks to examine how the biodiversity comprising a tropical forest ecosystem in the Kasigau Corridor in Keyna is protected as a result of having its conservation brought into financial accounting calculations by constructing, via processes of objectification and singularisation, a greenhouse gas emissions offset product to sell on the voluntary over-the-counter carbon markets. The second empirical case study seeks to examine the performativity of financial accounting in the construction of markets in tropical forest carbon. The analysis describes and explains the conflicts surrounding the translation of carbon market calculative devices by networks of organisational actors to extract a tradable accounting inscription from the world of tropical forests. A conceptual discussion then places economic markets on a flat ontological landscape with natural systems. This theoretical conception allows for a direct comparison between the roles of financial accounting calculations in markets and that of other forms of calculation and emergent computation in natural systems, finding that they are ontologically equivalent. This then provides a new theoretical frame for considering issues such as pluralism of accountings and accounting for sustainability.

O homem tem causado cada vez mais transformações na natureza através da tecnologia. Embora seu desenvolvimento tenha em vista melhorar a qualidade da vida, seu uso se mostrou muitas vezes nocivo para o homem e para o meio ambiente. Ao mesmo tempo, a dimensão que as tecnologias alcançaram torna impensável uma sociedade dela desvinculada. Diante disto é fundamental que se coloque em questão a relação entre homem, tecnologia e natureza, a fim de pensar como ele tem agido e como pode agir em função dos objetivos que tem, com relação a si mesmo e ao ambiente em que vive. Para isto, tomamos aqui como referência o pensamento de Heidegger e de seus intérpretes, acreditando na riqueza de suas contribuições para a condução desta questão.
The human being has caused more and more transformations on nature through technology. Although its development aims to improve the quality of life, its use many times showed itself harmful to the human and to the environment. At the same time, the dimension that technologies have reached makes fundamental to call into question the relation between human, technology and nature, in order to think how man has act and how he can act in function of his goals, in relation to himself and in relation to the environment in which he lives. Thus, we take here as reference the thought of Heidegger and of his interpreters, believing in the richness of his contributions to the guiding of our questioning.

Hudson, Kathryn J. "Irritability : a study of its origin, nature and role in relation to disorder." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2010. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/55188/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the origin, nature and role of irritability and disorder across the psychology and psychiatry literature. Within two empirical studies, irritability was examined at different stages of the lifespan, at two transition points. Study 1, the Starting School Study, explored irritability in preschool-aged children, in relation to clinical symptoms of disorder. The measurement confounding hypothesis was tested for the relationship between irritability and internalising and externalising symptoms. Whilst some measurement confounding was found between irritability and symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder and internalising symptoms (depression and anxiety), irritability remained significantly associated with the pure scales for both ODD and internalising symptoms. Irritability mediated the relationship between internalising and externalising symptoms, suggesting that irritability plays a role in co morbidity. In Study 2, a parallel investigation was carried out into the role of irritability and disorder in adult women at their transition to motherhood. Mothers’ irritability predicted both her conduct symptoms and emotional disorders. The mother-infant subsystem was used as the focus for exploring the potential influence of mothers’ characteristics and mental health on the infant’s irritability. Mothers’ irritability predicted infant irritability at 6 months, when mothers’ mental health was taken into account. Additionally, mothers’ irritability after childbirth mediated the relationship between mothers’ antenatal irritability and infant irritability, suggesting an intergenerational transmission of irritability between mother and infant by 6 months. The findings from these two empirical studies serve to inform the psychology and psychiatry literature about the need to define temperament constructs within studies and to assess for potential confound items across measures. The importance of irritability in relation to emotional and behavioural problems at different points of the lifespan, and the potential for intergenerational transmission of irritability from mother to child, suggests that irritability could be an early indicator for possible intervention to prevent long-term disorders

Boyer, Anne. "L'information dans le système de santé : nature et conséquences sur la relation médicale." Limoges, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008LIMO1009.

Abstract:

Informer devient une nouvelle exigence en matière de santé. Devant une telle revendication – dialogue, transparence,communication - les pouvoirs publics doivent trouver des solutions pour regagner la confiance du citoyen-usager envers le médecin et envers le système tout entier. L’information est un moyen consacré par le législateur pour atteindre l’objectif général de démocratie sanitaire. L’information de l’usager représente un outil d’accès à la protection de la santé en étant alors une source à part entière du principe d’égalité des citoyens devant la santé. Elle contribue par son double visage - information préventive, information curative – à restaurer en profondeur la relation médicale, collective et individuelle. Depuis la loi du 4 mars 2002 relative aux droits des malades et à la qualité du système de santé, l’usager est doté d’un pouvoir d’action et de décision. Ce nouvel acteur de santé a, grâce à l’information, un pouvoir dans la prise en charge de sa thérapie personnelle, mais aussi dans celle des politiques sanitaires. La relation médicale s’en trouve transformée, passant du traditionnel « paternalisme médical » à l’autonomie et, finalement, à un partenariat engendrant lui-même une transformation de la notion de « patient ». La santé devient un domaine de codécision. L’information en matière de santé cherche donc à atteindre un objectif de qualité de la santé, d’égalité et d’équilibre entre les acteurs grâce à différents outils :co sentement éclairé, accès direct au dossier médical, secret médical. Elle est un outil de régulation de la relation médicale
Information has become a new demand in healthcare. Confronted to such claims – dialogue, transparency, communication – officials had to find solutions to help the citizens-users of healthcare to regain confidence towards their physicians as well as toward healthcare system. Information is a means enhanced by law-maker to reach the global aim of health democracy. The information of users is a tool favouring access to healthcare protection, thus the base from which springs the principle of citizen and equality towards health. It contributes by its double side – preventive information and curative information – to deeply restorer the medical link, both collective and individual. Since the 4th march 2002 law, healthcare users have been awarded a genuine power of action and of self decision. They are fully committed in management of their health. As actors and thanks to information, they can manage their own therapies as well as healthcare policies. Medical relationship have thus transformed the outdated “fathercare manager” into autonomy and finally into partnership, therefore transforming the basic notion of “patient”. Healthcare has become a field of codecision. Information helps to reach a goal of quality, equality and balance among its various actors by different tools : highlighted consent, medical file, secrecy, medical policies. Information has become a regulating tool of medical relationship

Abstract:

Denna studie syftar till att bidra med ökade kunskaper om yngre skolelevers kännedom om växter samt växters betydelse i naturen med utgångspunkt i aspekter kopplade till fenomenet plant blindness. Plant blindness innefattar bland annat ett bristande intresse gentemot växter samt en oförmåga att identifiera och benämna dem. I denna kvalitativa intervjustudie av elever och klasslärare i årskurs tre har fokus ålagts elevers kunskaper om vanligt förekommande växtarter i elevernas närmiljö. Eleverna har intervjuats utifrån bildmaterial samt frågor rörande växters betydelse i naturen. Materialet har kodats, kategoriserats och satts i relation till människans sätt att värdera organismer i naturen. Studiens resultat visar i huvudsak att yngre elever har svårigheter att benämna flertalet vanliga växter även om deras artkännedom är mer omfattande än deras kunskaper om artnamn. Elevernas fritid utgör det sammanhang där eleverna främst möter växter medan undervisningssammanhang utvecklar elevernas artkännedom och begreppskunskap. Studien belyser ett omfattande intresse bland barn för olika organismer i naturen men även att en kulturell samhällssyn på växters värde återfinns i yngre elevers resonemang. Lärarens roll är därmed central i elevernas utveckling av artkännedom. En av studiens slutsatser är därmed att utforskande undervisning av växters naturliga kontext är positivt för elevers växtkännedom samt för deras förståelse av naturens ekosystem.
The purpose of this study is to contribute to increased knowledge about young learners' knowledge about plants and the importance of plants in nature, based on aspects linked to the phenomenon of plant blindness. Plant blindness includes a lack of interest in plants as well as an inability to identify and name them. In this qualitative interview study of learners in grade three and their teachers, focus has been placed on learners' knowledge of plant species that are commonly found in the learners' local environment. During the interviews, pictures of common plants were used as well as questions about the importance of plants in nature. The material was coded, categorized and put in relation to man's way of evaluating organisms in nature. The study mainly shows that young learners have difficulty naming common plants, but their species knowledge is more extensive than their ability of naming them. Learners' leisure time is the context where they primarily meet plants, while biology lessons develops learners' species- and conceptual knowledge. The results show that children have a wide interest in various organisms in nature, but also that a cultural societal view on the value of plants is found in young learners' reasoning. The teacher's role is thus central to the learners' development of species knowledge. One conclusion of the study is that teaching about plants in their natural environment is positive for learners' species knowledge and understanding of different ecosystems in nature.

Nous prenons comme biais vassily kandinsky qui fait l'analyse de la ligne et du point sur le plan, c'est a dire, dans la peinture et le dessin. Nous aborderons la ligne et ses trois dimensions, dans la sculpture. Les objectifs de cette recherche sont : 1 - reveiller l'importance de la ligne, des sa naissance ou presence, dans le materiau brut. 2 - mieux observer les formes de la nature, a travers leurs lignes. 3 - apporter, peut-etre, une contribution efficace aux ecoles d'art, et aux sculpteurs. 4 - faire une recherche sur la ligne dans la sculpture, d'apres l'oeuvre de gaston bachelard, ayant comme source la nature et demontrer que l'eau, l'air, la terre, le feu et les reves, sont des elements importants dans la creation. 5 - reunir des elements en intime relation avec la pratique du sculpteur. 6 - mettre en rapport l'oeuvre d'art et la poietique. Dans notre recherche, nous mettons en evidence, une etude sur la poietique, sur gaston bachelard et les sculptures que nous executons, en ce moment, pour la these. Chez gaston bachelard, nous etablissons une relation entre les phenomenes de la nature, et les sculptures, puis nous l'interpretons

Full text

Abstract:

La thèse aborde une question importante d’actualité et de vie qui lance à la société moderne des défis qui semblent n’autoriser aucun droit à l’erreur. Il s’agit de la définition du rapport de l’homme à la nature. Pour résoudre cette épineuse question, plusieurs réponses ont été proposées. Notamment Arne Naess qui professe une éthique biocentrique et Hans Jonas qui met au centre de toutes nos préoccupations la vie des générations futures. Mais ces solutions aboutissent par contre à une négation de la morale en faisant la promotion des régimes politiques totalitaires. En analysant le rapport de l’homme à la nature selon Descartes, nous avons découvert une philosophie de l‘écologie pour aujourd’hui, capable de contenter même le plus exigeant des écologistes. Bien que le nom de Descartes soit souvent associé à la crise écologique, notre thèse s’est donnée pour objectif d’abord de montrer que le rapport à la nature lui a permis de remarquer les capacités de découverte et de créativité de l’homme et ensuite que sa proposition est une véritable éthique de responsabilité qui répond à une exigence de l’homme tout entier. C’est une sagesse qui permet à l’homme d’utiliser le pouvoir que lui confère la technoscience de manière à atteindre un haut degré de sécurité, d’utilité, de bien-être, de plénitude des valeurs. Elle invite l’homme à faire bon usage de son libre arbitre de telle sorte que son pouvoir tienne toujours compte du développement de l’être humain en responsabilité, en valeur et en conscience. C’est pourquoi, la philosophie de l’éco-responsabilité viable de Descartes est un appel fait à l’homme pour passer de l’irresponsabilité à la responsabilité
This doctoral thesis addresses an important issue of everyday life that launches to modern society challenges that seem to allow no room for error. It’s about the definition of the relationship of man to nature. To solve this thorny question, several answers have been proposed. In particular Arne Naess professes a biocentric ethics and Hans Jonas puts the lives of future generations at the center of all our concerns. But these solutions lead to a negation of morality by promoting totalitarian regimes. By analyzing the relationship of man to nature according to Descartes, we have discovered a philosophy of ecology for today, capable of satisfying even the most demanding ecologists.Although the name of Descartes is often associated with the ecological crisis, our thesis aims at raising two things: first to show that the relationship to nature has allowed him to notice the discovery capacity and creativity of man and second, that his proposition is a true ethics of responsibility that meets a requirement of the whole man. It is a wisdom that allows man to use the power given to him by technoscience so as to achieve a high degree of security, utility, well-being, fullness of values. It invites the man to make good use of his free will so that his power always takes into account the development of the human being in responsibility, in value and in conscience. This is why Descartes' philosophy of sustainable eco-responsibility is a call to man to move from irresponsibility to responsibility

Full text

Abstract:

Modern scholarship has generated several works on ancient Greco-Roman, Jewish or biblical oneirology, whereas it has never resulted in a book or monograph devoted solely to the study of patristic oneirology. Although many articles discuss the dreams in patristic texts, most of their authors do not analyse these dreams correctly in their doctrinal context, a context from which virtually all patristic dream narratives or discourses emerged. This thesis endeavours to remedy the deficiency in the construction of patristic views of dreams by a corresponding analytic approach. Numerous early Christian writers attempted to formulate a Christian dream theory, conceptualise dream phenomena, or interpret their own dreams or the dreams of prominent figures. This thesis argues that from their perspective, the nature of human-inspired dreams can be conceived of as creations of the soul, as indicators of the dreamer’s state and as moral reflection (Ch.1 to 3), that of demon-inspired dreams as demonic assault, temptation and deception (Ch.4) and finally that of divinely-inspired dreams as a site of epiphany, as divine messages and as the dynamic of faith reinforcement (Ch.5 to 7). In addition to investigating their thoughts on dreams, additional discussions of Greco-Roman, Jewish and biblical dream traditions will be provided as helpful references for readers to understand the background in which patristic oneirology was shaped and cultivated (Appendixes). Moreover, unlike pagan authors, these Christian writers did not elucidate dreams for oneirological, physiological or psychological purposes. Rather, their real agenda was to promulgate Christian doctrines, including the doctrines of man, asceticism, sin, demonology, God, Christology, revelation and eschatology. When they encountered dreams, they not only interpreted but doctrinalised them, just as they did to many other aspects of human life. Methodologically, they dogmatically expounded dreams so as to facilitate their dissemination of the doctrines. The making of patristic oneirology was essentially the propagation of dogmatics. Hermeneutically, they integrated doctrinal tenets into their explication of dreams. The doctrines defined the essence of dreams and even orientated their mission outside the dream world. Accordingly, their oneirological and doctrinal conceptions were intertwined and serve each other. This doctrinalised oneirology marked the birth of a new ideology of dreams in late antiquity. Hence, in each chapter the methodological and hermeneutical relationships between dreams and the related doctrine in patristic texts will be demonstrated. Due to these relationships, this thesis contends that the task of penetrating patristic views of dreams cannot be accomplished without analysing them in their doctrinal context; meanwhile, the doctrines cannot be fully represented without undertaking that task.

Vesanen, J. (Jonna). "Darkness explored:reflections on violence and human nature in relation to selected themes in Niall Griffiths’ Sheepshagger." Master's thesis, University of Oulu, 2018. http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi:oulu-201805311984.

Full text

Abstract:

This master’s thesis reflects on aspects of violence and human nature in relation to Niall Griffiths’ (1966–) Sheepshagger (2001). Set in West Wales, the novel offers a cogent and compelling study of why an underprivileged and abused individual resorts to violence. Through the protagonist, Ianto, Sheepshagger develops themes stemming from trauma and desires for revenge and sense of belonging. The novel provides a penetrating study of an individual’s longing for recognition and spiritual fulfilment, demonstrating how society’s failure to offer appropriate outlets may lead to extreme behaviour, including violence. Moreover, Sheepshagger explores the social dynamics that involve aggression and exclusion, illuminating a cycle of discrimination and brutality. This thesis considers these phenomena in relation to the concept of the ‘other’, which refers to the process of perceiving something as different from oneself. Theories and ideas focusing on the ‘other’ present useful tools for analysing the relationship between violence and discrimination in Sheepshagger. Furthermore, as this concept is often used in the field of postcolonial literary studies, this thesis draws for theoretical background on Kirsti Bohata’s lucid work, Postcolonialism Revisited: Writing Wales in English (2014). In addition, I consult The Encyclopedia of the Gothic (2016) which expounds a number of terms and concepts that are of value when examining Ianto’s role as an outsider. Sheepshagger not only depicts a world overwhelmed by brutality but also suggests that violence has always been part of human existence. Moreover, the novel juxtaposes animal savagery with human acts of violence, questioning the gulf between the two. Thus, Sheepshagger seems to subscribe to a posthumanist view that contradicts some generally accepted humanist ‘truths’. Related and often opposing ideas introduced by philosopher John Gray in Straw Dogs (2002) and psychologist Steven Pinker in The Blank Slate (2002) are used in analysis of this and other aspects of the novel. Additionally, to support the concept that violence is interminable, Sheepshagger makes use of historical and geological references and also employs Celtic symbolism often connected to death and ill omens. As the novel tries to make sense of the human inclination towards violence, it introduces reflections on good and evil, free will and nature versus nurture. In order to examine these elements as thoroughly as possible, this thesis utilises an interdisciplinary approach to its subject, combining theories and ideas from the fields of history, anthropology, philosophy and psychology. By examining violence from various angles, it offers both a detailed analysis of Griffiths’ novel and an attempt to uncover some facts about humanity and its relationship to brutality
Tämä pro gradu -tutkielma tarkastelee väkivallan ja ihmisyyden eri puolia Niall Griffithsin (1966–) Sheepshagger-romaanissa (2001). Tämä Länsi-Walesiin sijoittuva teos kuvaa uskottavasti kuinka vähäosainen yksilö — romaanin päähenkilö Ianto — ajautuu väkivallan kierteeseen. Ianton kautta Sheepshagger käsittelee trauman, kostonhalun ja kuuluvuuden tunteen moninaisia teemoja. Ennen kaikkea romaani analysoi yksilön hyväksynnän kaipuuta ja sitä, mitä seuraa, jos yhteiskunta ei vastaa tähän kaipuuseen. Merkityksettömyyden tunne johtaa turhautumiseen, joka puolestaan purkautuu väkivaltana ja muina äärimmäisinä tekoina. Lisäksi romaani tarkastelee aggression ja syrjinnän välisiä vuorovaikutussuhteita — teoksen tätä piirrettä tutkielma erittelee toiseuden käsitteen avulla. Toiseuteen liittyvät teoriat tarjoavat hyödyllisiä tapoja analysoida väkivallan ja ulkopuolisuuden teemoja Griffithsin romaanissa, ja koska käsite kuuluu vahvasti jälkikoloniaalisen kirjallisuuskritiikin piiriin, hyödyntää tutkielma Kirsti Bohatan teosta ”Postcolonialism Revisited: Writing Wales in English” (2014). Lisäksi kauhuromantiikan hakuteos ”The Encyclopedia of the Gothic” (2016) selittää kattavasti käsitteitä ja ilmiöitä, jotka auttavat erittelemään Ianton ja väkivallan roolia romaanissa. Sheepshagger ei pelkästään kuvaa äärimmäisen raakaa maailmaa vaan antaa myös ymmärtää, että väkivalta on aina ollut osa ihmiseloa. Lisäksi teos rinnastaa eläinmaailman raakuuden ja ihmisten väkivaltaisuuden tavalla, joka näyttää kyseenalaistavan näiden välisen eron. Näin ollen Sheepshaggerin voi väittää edustavan jälkihumanistista näkökantaa, joka pyrkii horjuttamaan tiettyjä laajalti hyväksyttyjä käsityksiä ihmisyydestä. Tämän aihepiirin tarkastelussa tutkielma hyödyntää kahta keskenään hyvin erilaista lähdettä: filosofi John Grayn kirjaa ”Straw Dogs” (2002) ja psykologi Steven Pinkerin teosta ”The Blank Slate” (2002). Griffithsin romaanin brutaalia ilmapiiriä tehostavat lukuiset väkivalta- ja kuolema-aiheiset historialliset ja arkeologiset viittaukset, minkä lisäksi teos hyödyntää kelttiläistä symboliikkaa, joka sekin usein liittyy pahaenteisesti kuolemaan. Kaiken tämän ohella Sheepshagger yrittää ymmärtää ihmisluonnon taipumusta raakuuteen, ja samalla se myös pohtii hyvän ja pahan eroa, vapaan tahdon määritelmää sekä perimän ja kasvatuksen välisiä vuorovaikutussuhteita. Jotta tutkielma käsittelisi teoksen yllä mainittuja piirteitä mahdollisimman kattavasti, hyödyntää se poikkitieteellistä lähestymistapaa, joka yhdistää historian, antropologian, filosofian ja psykologian käsitteitä. Tarkastelemalla väkivallan roolia eri näkökulmista tämä pro gradu -tutkielma pyrkii analysoimaan Griffithsin romaania mahdollisimman kattavasti sekä selvittämään, mitä teos kertoo ihmisyydestä ja sen suhteesta väkivaltaan

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to develop automated methods for the analysis of the spatial patterns, and the functional behaviour of endothelial cells, viewed under microscopy, with applications to the understanding of atherosclerosis. Initially, a radial search approach to segmentation was attempted in order to trace the cell and nuclei boundaries using a maximum likelihood algorithm; it was found inadequate to detect the weak cell boundaries present in the available data. A parametric cell shape model was then introduced to fit an equivalent ellipse to the cell boundary by matching phase-invariant orientation fields of the image and a candidate cell shape. This approach succeeded on good quality images, but failed on images with weak cell boundaries. Finally, a support vector machines based method, relying on a rich set of visual features, and a small but high quality training dataset, was found to work well on large numbers of cells even in the presence of strong intensity variations and imaging noise. Using the segmentation results, several standard shear-stress dependent parameters of cell morphology were studied, and evidence for similar behaviour in some cell shape parameters was obtained in in-vivo cells and their nuclei. Nuclear and cell orientations around immature and mature aortas were broadly similar, suggesting that the pattern of flow direction near the wall stayed approximately constant with age. The relation was less strong for the cell and nuclear length-to-width ratios. Two novel shape analysis approaches were attempted to find other properties of cell shape which could be used to annotate or characterise patterns, since a wide variability in cell and nuclear shapes was observed which did not appear to fit the standard parameterisations. Although no firm conclusions can yet be drawn, the work lays the foundation for future studies of cell morphology. To draw inferences about patterns in the functional response of cells to flow, which may play a role in the progression of disease, single-cell analysis was performed using calcium sensitive florescence probes. Calcium transient rates were found to change with flow, but more importantly, local patterns of synchronisation in multi-cellular groups were discernable and appear to change with flow. The patterns suggest a new functional mechanism in flow-mediation of cell-cell calcium signalling.

Abstract:

As environmental challenges are increasing in the current era of the Anthropocene, there is a growing need to understand what would instigate pro-environmental behaviour. One such factor that research has suggested is to (re)connect people with nature. This research aims to find out whether school pedagogy can have a role in this by investigating the relation between pupils’ human–nature connection (HNC) and the pedagogy of the school they attend. In order to do this, the study uses ACHUNAS, a recently developed framework to assess where and how children connect to nature. Two types of school took part in the research: one conventional school and two alternative schools, all rural schools. Based on semi-structured interviews and participant observations, the study found that there is indeed a relation between the pedagogical approach of the school and the HNC of the pupils. Alternative schools offered more recurring and more versatile nature experiences than the conventional school, and pupils in alternative schools had developed more abilities of HNC than their peers in conventional schools. Pupils in alternative schools stated that the school had changed their HNC, while in the conventional school half of the pupils stated that the school had made no impact on their HNC. On top of the findings related to the relation between school pedagogy and HNC, the study found two aspects of HNC that could be included in the ACHUNAS framework.

Abstract:

Le concept de « réseau écologique » souligne l'importance de la connectivité écologique entre différents espaces naturels. Produit des évolutions historiques des pratiques de conservation et des nouvelles découvertes scientifiques, ce concept propose une nouvelle manière d'appréhender la protection de la nature. De nombreuses initiatives de « réseaux écologiques » ont ainsi lieu à travers le monde, notamment dans les Alpes. Elles témoignent de cette nouvelle conception de la protection de la nature, qui dépasse la simple conservation d'espèces pour s'orienter vers la préservation de systèmes écologiques. L'application de ce concept est étudiée dans trois régions alpines en Allemagne, Suisse et France. Sur ces territoires, de nombreuses initiatives différentes viennent se superposer, engendrant des questionnements quant à la coordination et la coopération entre ces divers échelles, acteurs, actions et les objectifs qui en découlent. En plus de ses impacts purement écologiques, la démarche de réalisation de réseaux écologiques semble également offrir un potentiel particulier allant au-delà des objectifs liés à la protection de la nature. Ce sont également ces autres effets fortuits qui sont au cœur de la recherche : le potentiel mobilisateur de l'outil offrant des possibilités particulières de gouvernance territoriale, les liens existants et potentiels avec l'aménagement du territoire, et les nouvelles logiques d'acteurs. Le concept de réseaux écologiques est venu bouleverser les pratiques de protection de la nature entrainant des modifications de la perception de la nature par la société et transformant ainsi également la relation entre la société et la nature
The concept of “ecological networks” emphasises the importance of ecological connectivity between different natural areas. As a result of the historical evolutions of nature conservation practices and new scientific evidence this concept provides a new approach to nature protection. Numerous initiatives of “ecological networks” exist worldwide and also in the Alps. They are evidence of this new conception of nature protection going beyond the conservation of single species aiming the protection of functioning ecosystems. The implementation of this concept is analysed in three alpine regions in Germany, Switzerland and France. In these regions various different initiatives are overlapping one another generating interrogations concerning the coordination and cooperation between the different scales, actors, actions and related aims. In addition to the pure ecological impacts the creation of ecological networks seems to offer a particular potential going beyond the general objectives related to nature protection. These additional casual effects are in the centre of this research: the potential of the tool to mobilise various categories of different actors, the particular possibilities of regional governance, the prospective and existing links with spatial planning. The concept of ecological networks has completely changed nature protection practice inducing modifications of the perception of nature by society and therefore of the relation between society and nature

Full text

Abstract:

A review of the international literature shows that men are less likely to seek help and, are more likely to delay seeking help for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) than women. However, there is a lack of research into their process of decision-making in relation to seeking help for this condition. The aim of this study was to explore and to generate a substantive theory on male decision-making in relation to seeking help for an STI. A Glaserian grounded theory approach was deemed best suited to this area about which little is known. Face-to-face interviews with thirty-nine participants, selected by convenience, theoretical and snowball sampling took place. Documentary, media and literary sources were also compared as incoming data. Relevance, workability, fit, modifiability, parsimony and scope were applied to ensure the rigour of the study. The key psychosocial problems that emerged as 'relevant and problematic for those involved' (Glaser, 1978 p. 93), were: integrating the possibility of having an STI (negative) with the image of oneself (positive), managing disclosure and stigma. These were resolved through the core variable: 'Facing up to it'. This parsimonious theory describes and explains a five stage decision-making process consisting of the sub-core variables of decision-making. These were; 'becoming aware', 'seeking refuge in self, 'seeking refuge in referent sources', 'rationalising,' and 'reaching a decision'. The decision-making process was initiated when participants became aware they might have an STI and a range of strategies were employed to resolve their main concerns. The decision to seek help was found to be a complex and multifaceted process which was moderated by a number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Implications for education, practice, policy, and research are evident. Recommendations are made to facilitate prompt STI screening in men. This substantive theory should be implemented, tested and evaluated.

Abstract:

Nous prenons la condition humaine, en tant que trilogie espèce / individu / être social, comme articulation de nos recherches. Sélectionner dans une thématique, les composants basiques ainsi que trouver la façon dont ils se lient entre eux et avec d'autres, en trouvant leur équilibre dans une globalité spatiale, temporelle, affective et axiologique est la vocation de notre théorie. Ceci est essentiel pour étendre un réseau d'appui qui organise conjointement la compréhension, l'étude, les représentations, les sens, les vécus et les modifications d'une réalité. En particulier nous avons appliqué la "théorie d'articulation de moments" à la relation ville / nature, prenant le paysage comme analyseur et en la mettant à l'épreuve avec un cas type, l'avenue côtière (rambla) de Montevideo. Nous proposons une dialogique dynamique pour aborder la complexité de la réalité, en commençant par la définition nécessaire d'une unidualité primaire, représentée par des paires de forces opposées et complémentaires qui, conjuguées avec des distances, génèrent des "moments" dont l'équilibre s'obtient en articulant de différents plans. L'opposition complémentaire originale est la considération de l'homme dans et hors de la nature. Dans notre cas, suit celle de cette dernière avec la ville. Nous formulons donc l'existence d’un processus récursif où sont fondamentaux les différents niveaux d'interaction entre homme et milieu, ainsi que s'occuper de l'équilibre sur chaque plan et dans la globalité, en voie d'obtenir la réussite dans l'essence humaine et environnementale à long terme
We have taken the human condition, insofar as it is a trilogy: species / individual / social being, as an articulation for our searches. The selection, within the subject matter of the basic components and finding the way they relate among themselves and with other components, discovering their balance in a spatial, temporal, affective and axiological global situation, is the vocation of our theory. This is essential in order to weave a supportive network that organizes together understanding, study, representation, meanings, experience and changes in a situation. In particular we have applied the "theory of linking moments" to a city / nature relationship, using the landscape us an analyst and testing it with a practical example: that of the Montevideo Sea Front Avenue or promenade, the rambla. We propose a dynamic dialogue to address the complexity of the situation, starting from the necessary definition of a primary dual unity, represented by pairs of opposing and complementary forces that, conjugated with distances, give rise to "moments" whose balance is achieved by linking different levels. The original complementary opposition is the consideration of man in and outside nature. This is followed, in our case, by that of nature with the city. Thus we formulate the existence of a process of resources, where the various levels of interaction between man and the environment are fundamental, in addition to addressing balance at each level and globally with the aim of achieving success in the long term, in a human and environmental essence

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis is an account of an investigative study into the nature of perceptual-motor abilities. Part one considers Witkin's construct of cognitive style, using it to predict the relationships between three tests of perceptual functioning from widely varying areas of psychology and sports science. To some extent the results were as predicted; that is, those people demonstrating high levels of perceptual acuity on one test also showed similar acuity on one or more of the other perceptual tests. These results, however, only applied to the male subjects and then only when the opposite poles of one test-dimension were partitioned out and compared. The female subjects demonstrated no significant relationships between the three tests. As a result, it was proposed that the tests were indeed linked but by an array of underlying perceptual abilities rather than by a single, overlying cognitive or perceptual style. In the ensuing search for these abilities, 76 measures of perceptual and perceptual-motor skills were factor analysed to reveal 8 oblique perceptual-motor factors of which one was interpreted as being perceptual style. The nature of perceptual-motor abilities is discussed both in relation to clumsiness and to sports training with the emphasis being on whether such abilities are amenable to alteration. The thesis puts forward the proposal that an upper limit to each ability is fixed for each individual in early childhood but that this potential may be maximised through relevant training. The Perceptual-Motor Ability Profile was devised as a tool with which to indicate the aptitude a person evidenced for a particular sport or physical activity and was used in demonstration to describe the group abilities of four dancers with respect to the requirements of their chosen activity. Finally, a model of perceptual-motor functioning, relating the eight factors extracted, is suggested.

Duncombe, Matthew. "The nature and purpose of relative terms in Plato." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2012. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/243634.

Full text

Abstract:

Relative terms are those such as ‘larger’, ‘smaller’, ‘parent’ and ‘offspring’. Questions concerning the nature of this type of term in Plato fall under three themes. First, logic: what is the syntax and semantics of relative terms? Second, metaphysics: what structures in the world constitute relative properties? Third, taxonomy: do relative terms form a distinguishable class? Questions concerning purpose ask what role these terms have in the wider economy of Plato’s thought. Only one existing approach addresses all of these themes and questions: it was put forward by G.E.L. Owen in 1957, although it was subsequently developed by others. The Owenian view holds that relatives are syntactically or semantically incomplete, that they are identical to metaphysically dyadic relations and that they do form a taxonomic class. According to Owen, Plato introduces relative terms to bolster a certain argument for the separation of forms and participants. Therefore, they have an ontological purpose. This thesis aims to offer a plausible, non–anachronistic alternative to the Owenian view. To give such an account I have to argue for a radically different logic, metaphysics and purpose for relatives in Plato. I call the view that I defend ‘conjunctivism’. I begin by characterising the logic of conjunctivism. Plato holds that relative terms have formal objects. These are exceptionlessly correct objects of the relative in question. A parent is always and only parent of offspring, so ‘offspring’ is the formal object of ‘parent’. I then demonstrate that the metaphysical problems for relatives which are not dyadic relations are avoided by Plato’s version of conjunctivism. Looking at Sophist 255c–d and Parmenides 133c–134e, I discuss the taxonomy of relative terms. I show that, under the conjunctive reading, they form a distinguishable class and, in contrast to Owenian relatives, each reciprocates with its correlative. So, just as a parent is relative to offspring, so offspring are relative to a parent. With the nature of relative terms established, I proceed to refute Owen’s account of their purpose, and give my own explanation. By looking at passages from the Euthydemus and Charmides, I argue that Plato introduced relative terms to articulate why some arguments are fallacies and others not. That is, relative terms have a dialectical purpose.

Abstract:

Cette thèse cherche à explorer le rôle que les perceptions culturelles peuvent jouer pour redéfinir collectivement l’action humaine envers la nature. Dans le temps long, de manière accidentelle ou intentionnelle, l’homme a globalement modifié puis progressivement détruit de manière exponentielle la nature. Or, l’étude de l’idée de nature démontre la multiplicité et la force des attachements culturels à la nature. Cette thèse cherche donc à étudier plus précisément la diversité, la multiplicité des perceptions culturelles, et dans quelle mesure celles-ci pourraient aider à redéfinir l’activité humaine envers la nature. A cette fin, les idées de nature et leurs évolutions à travers l’histoire sont étudiées dans plusieurs pays cultures afin de déterminer si et comment la diversité peut devenir un facteur de changement de paradigme. Trois pays sont étudiés à cette fin : la France, le Japon et les États-Unis, afin de dégager les perceptions culturelles uniques et d’envisager comment cette unicité peut servir à refonder l’action collective
This thesis aims at exploring the role cultural perceptions of nature could play in redefining in depth human action towards nature. Whether on purpose or as an incidental result, humankind has since the dawn of humanity first modified then destroyed nature. Yet, when looking at cultural perceptions of nature it appears that cultures developed a strong attachment to some representations of nature. The presumption explored here is that these cultural perceptions, in their diversity, in their multiplicity, could be key to redefining our whole relation towards nature. To that effect, this thesis studies the idea of nature and its evolutions throughout history in different cultures in order to render it effective in international negotiations. Three countries are explored: France, Japan and the United States in order to isolate cultural perceptions and to understand how they can be mobilized to redefine collective action

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar, a partir da memória de velhas professoras, as concepções de natureza e de relação sociedade-natureza presentes nos depoimentos de velhas professoras da rede pública estadual de uma cidade do interior do estado de São Paulo, nas décadas de 1960 e 1970. Acreditamos que entender como determinada sociedade “torna a natureza presente” Bornheim (1985), é fundamental para a superação dos impasses gerados pela problemática ambiental. Para a realização deste trabalho, optou-se pela metodologia da história oral e constatou-se, por meio das leituras das narrativas, que as professoras entrevistadas “tornam a natureza presente” por meio de diferentes concepções. A natureza como “tudo o que existe”, como “vida”, uma concepção “religiosa” de natureza, a natureza como a “grande provedora de recursos naturais”, a natureza como “universo”, “como mãe de todas as coisas” e a natureza como aquela que “tudo recicla” são as concepções de natureza presentes nos depoimentos coletados. Várias professoras consideraram, ainda, a natureza como aquela que pode “dar respostas” e “reagir” às ações desmedidas do homem. Além disso, a natureza apareceu como aquela que deve ser preservada, pois disso depende a manutenção da nossa própria vida. No que diz respeito à relação sociedade-natureza, evidencia-se a relação conflituosa que se estabelece entre o homem e a natureza. Pode-se afirmar que, no geral, o homem foi apresentado como sendo o grande vilão, como aquele que destrói a natureza, sendo caracterizado pelas professoras, entre outras coisas, de ruim, malvado, ganancioso e ignorante. Tentar compreender como a natureza e a relação sociedade-natureza se fazem presentes na memória dessas velhas professoras permite repensar como essa relação tem sido tratada atualmente no âmbito escolar.
This research has the objective to identify from the remembrance of old teachers the nature conceptions and nature society relation presented into the old teachers attests from the state public schools from a city in the country of São Paulo in 60’s and 70’s. We believe that understanding as a certain society becomes a present nature Bornheim (1985) is essential to the overcoming from the conflicts generated by the environmental problematic. To the realization of this work, it was chosen the methodology of the oral history and it was found that for the reading from the narratives that the interviewed teachers make the nature presented by different conceptions. The nature as “all that exists”, as “life”, a “religious” conception of nature, the nature as the “big provider of natural resources”, the nature as “universe”, “as the mother of all things”, and the nature as one “that recycles all” are the conceptions of nature present in the collected attests. Several teachers considered, yet, the nature as one that can give answers and reacts to the men’s undue actions. Besides, the nature came on as one that must be preserved, because the maintenance of our own life depends on this. According to the nature society relation, it is noticeable the conflicted relation that is established between the man and the nature. It can be affirmed, in general, that man was presented as being the big guilty, as the one who destroys the nature, being characterized by the teachers among other things, as bad, mean, greedy and ignorant. Trying to understand how the nature and the nature society relation are present in the remembrance of these old masters, allow us to think again how this relation has been currently dealt in the scholar environment.

Abstract:

In today’s digitalised society we spend a lot of time indoors, kids included, and not as much time outdoors in nature. Thoughts that might appear because of this include what children’s relation to nature looks like and what we as teachers can do to improve this relation. The purpose of this study is therefore to contribute with knowledge about teachers’ thoughts and use of outdoor education, and how they view pupils’ relation to nature based on their outdoor education. The method used in this study was to conduct interviews with five different teachers about their work with outdoor education, along with their thoughts and views on it. A thematic analysis was used to extract different themes from the teachers’ interview answers. This analysis resulted in six different themes covering teachers’ thoughts and outdoor education. The results show that outdoor education often consists of group-based activities with a focus on practical work where many senses are activated and stimulated. According to the teachers, the way that they work with outdoor education also contributes to a more positive relation between pupils and nature, by improving their interest, but also by giving a better understanding of the interaction between humans, animals and plants, as well as our connection to them. Based on these findings, it is important that teachers try to use more of this kind of outdoor education to help develop and improve the pupils’ relation to nature, while ensuring a productive and healthy environment.
I dagens digitaliserade samhälle spenderar vi mycket av vår tid inomhus, även barnen, och inte lika mycket tid ute i naturen. Tankar som kan komma upp på grund av detta är hur barns relation till naturen ser ut och vad vi som lärare kan göra för att stärka denna relation. Syftet med denna studie är därför att bidra med kunskaper kring lärares tankar och användande av utomhusundervisning samt hur de ser på elevers relation till naturen utifrån sin utomhusundervisning. Metoden som användes för studien var intervjuer med fem olika lärare kring deras arbete med utomhusundervisning och deras tankar och syn kring det. Intervjuerna transkriberades och en tematisk analys användes för att ta fram olika teman i lärarnas intervjusvar. Denna analys resulterade i sex olika teman kring lärares tankar och utomhusundervisning. Resultaten visade att utomhusundervisning oftast innebär arbete i grupp med fokus på ett praktiskt arbetssätt där många sinnen aktiveras och stimuleras. Detta sätt som lärare arbetar med utomhusundervisning på bidrar, enligt lärarna, även till positivare relationer mellan elever och naturen genom ökat intresse samt förståelse och känsla för samspelet som finns mellan människor, djur och växter. Utifrån det som framkommit ur denna studie är det viktigt för elevers relation till naturen att lärare försöker att använda sig mer av utomhusundervisning, med förutsättning att de jobbar på det sätt som beskrivs.

Abstract:

Work is an essential part of most people’s lives. With increasing flexibility in work life, many employees experience job insecurity – they perceive that the future of their jobs is uncertain. However, job insecurity is not just an individual experience; employees can perceive that there is a climate of job insecurity at their workplace as well, as people collectively worry about their jobs. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the job insecurity climate construct and how it relates to work- and health-related outcomes and to individual job insecurity. Three empirical studies were conducted to investigate this aim. Study I investigated the dimensionality of the job insecurity construct by developing and testing a measure of job insecurity climate − conceptualized as the individual’s perception of the job insecurity climate at work − in a sample of employees working in Sweden. The results indicated that individual job insecurity and job insecurity climate are separate but related constructs and that job insecurity climate was related to work- and health-related outcomes. Study II examined the effects of individual job insecurity and job insecurity climate on work- and health-related outcomes in a sample of employees working in a private sector company in Sweden. The results showed that perceiving higher levels of job insecurity climate than others in the workgroup was associated with poorer self-rated health and higher levels of burnout. Study III tested the relationship between individual job insecurity and job insecurity climate in a sample of Flemish employees. The results indicated that individual job insecurity is contagious, as individual job insecurity predicted perceptions of job insecurity climate six months later. In conclusion, by focusing on perceptions of the job insecurity climate, the present thesis introduces a new approach to job insecurity climate research, showing that employees can perceive a climate of job insecurity in addition to their own individual job insecurity and, also, that this perception of the job insecurity climate at work has negative consequences for individuals and organizations.

Abstract:

Chapter 1 of this thesis is a general review of published work o_ the origins and distribution of Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn in soils and their uptake and functions in plants. Chapter 2 is a synopsis of the geological history of the Fayoum of relevance to the origins of sediments at the study sties. Previous fractionation procedures, and a proposed modification to improve the determination of carbonate-bound elements are discussed in Chapter 3, while other analytical procedures are described in Chapter 4. Results of general soil analyses, of the fractionation analyses and useful correlation matrices, are tabulated together (for convenience in Chapter 5) and are discussed in detail in the following chapter. Texture was a crucial factor, finer-textured soils generally having lower pH and higher organic matter contents, although the latter were generally greater closer to the surface. Clay and silt contents were highly correlated, probably reflecting water sorting in the Fayoum, which aided the texture/drainage effect. Drainage (i.e. texture) was apparently very important in the fractionation chemistry of elements influenced by redox-reactions, i.e. Fe and Mn, and elements for which distribution depended upon Fe and Mn oxides (e.g., Zn) to a significant extent. Clay was especially important to the concentration of crystalline and amorphous iron oxides. Cd and Cu showed marked surface accumulation, especially in the exchangeable fractions, for many profiles, probably through pollution. The Cu content of organic matter was strikingly uniform at the Fayoum. Amorphous and crystalline Fe oxides seem to be especially important in the distribution of Zn. Clay Cd, Fe and Zn and, to a lesser extent, Cu and Mn contents were relatively constant, suggesting uniform origins. Chapter 7 describes a pot experiment on the soils using barley as a test crop, aimed at relating uptake to the fractionation results. Interpretation was complicated by a dominant effect of soil salinity. Chapter 8 suggests future related research.

Abstract:

La these propose une reflexion sur la nature positive ou negative de la relation entre le niveau des salaires et celui de l'emploi et sur la pertinence d'une explication de ce dernier par les salaires. Le travail s'articule autour de quatre etapes. Le chapitre 1 montre les insuffisances et les limites des outils utilises par les economistes dans l'analyse du marche du travail. Il souligne la necessite d'etablir une distinction entre les dimensions cout et revenu du salaire, ce qui permet d'introduire les deux courants d'analyse differents du marche du travail. Dans le chapitre 2, nous examinons les arguments relevant de l'analyse standard qui fondent le fait que la demande de travail soit concue comme une fonction decroissante du niveau des salaires reels. Le chapitre 3 s'interesse aux economistes qui refusent l'idee de l'existence du marche du travail et de l'efficacite du salaire reel en tant qu'instrument de retour a l'equilibre. Il propose un modele axe sur les interactions entre les variables economiques qui rend compte de la nature de la relation salaire reel - emploi en fonction de la compensation macro-economique qui a lieu entre les divers effets mis en evidence. Cette relation ne peut pas etre caracterisee a priori : elle est parfois positive et parfois negative. Le chapitre 4 vient renforcer cette conclusion. Un survey des differents travaux empiriques sur la question de la nature du comportement des salaires reels au cours du cycle indique que celui-ci varie en fonction de la periode d'etude, des pays, des donnees (indicateurs) et du degre d'agregation de l'analyse. Il est impossible de determiner de facon definitive un comportement procyclique ou contracyclique des salaires
The thesis deals with the problem of the positive or negative nature of the relation that exists between real wages and employment. The point is to mesure the importance of the employment determination by wages and the sense of that influence. The work is divied into five parts. . Chapter 1 mentions the lacks and the limits of the empirical and theoritical tools to analyse the labor market. Finally, it underlines the necessity to distinish between the income and. . Cost dimension of the wages. This distinction foretells the two different positions of economists concerning the labor market. In chapter 2, we examine the negative influence of wage and costs on the labour demand according to the neoclassical principles of demand. In chapter 3, we mention the arguments of the economists who deny the existence of the labour market and the efficiency of real wage as an instrument of reaching the equilibrium. We aslo deal with a model showing that the nature of the real wage employment depends on the macroeconomic compensation between all the different contradictory effects between economic variables that can be enlightened. Such a model teaches us that the real wage employment relationship nature cannot be a priori defined. It happens to be positive and it can also be negative. Chapter 4 emphasizes this remark. The survey of different empirical works about the nature of the cyclical comportement of wages seems to mention that it varies according to the time period, over which the phenomenon is studied, the countries, the data and the agregation level of the

Abstract:

Bakgrund och syfte: Det finns en begränsad mängd forskning om nyanlända elever i delmomentet friluftsliv i den svenska skolan. Friluftslivsmomentet kan fungera som en integrationsarena för utvecklandet av språk, kunskap och kultur. Nyanlända elever kommer ofta från svårare omständigheter och då kan friluftslivsmomentet användas som ett verktyg för att förbättra deras känsla av sammanhang. Syftet med studien var att ta reda på hur nyanlända elever upplever friluftsliv i skolan, vad för faktorer som påverkar deras inställning till friluftsliv samt vad som motiverar dem till att utföra mer friluftsliv. Metod och analys: Studien utfördes med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer via plattformen Zoomdär vi intervjuade fem nyanlända elever individuellt som antingen gick i förberedelseklassereller ”vanliga” klasser. Målet var att eleverna skulle få chansen till att berätta deras tankar och tidigare erfarenheter av natur och friluftsliv. KASAM och sociokulturellt perspektiv användest ramverk för att analysera studiens data. Analysen skedde genom tematisering där vi delar in alla transkriberingar under relevanta rubriker. Resultat: Resultatet visar på att elevernas tidigare erfarenheter av natur och friluftsliv haft en påverkan på deras inställning till friluftsliv i skolan. I hemländerna fick vissa elevermöjligheten att gå ut i naturen både på fritiden och i skolan medan andra inte hade sammamöjligheter. Naturen skiljer sig åt mellan deras hemländer samt i jämförelse med den svenska naturen. Det sociala samspelet mellan studiens elever och lärare har varit en orsak till att deras rädslor övervunnits. En bidragande faktor till upplevelsen av friluftsliv kan också vara antalet aktiviteter som eleverna har fått genomföra. De elever som har fått genomföra fler friluftsaktiviteter var mer benägna att utföra mer friluftsliv. Det märktes att KASAM skiljde sig åt mellan dessa elever. Det kan även finnas andra faktorer som kunde påverka deras KASAM exempelvis socioekonomiska och kulturella skillnader. Slutsats: I denna studie har lärare haft en stor påverkan på elevernas KASAM och de kan generellt behöva bli bättre på att motivera sina undervisningsval för eleverna. De elever somvar mer negativt inställda till friluftsliv hade inte fått testat lika många friluftslivsaktiviteter som de som var mer positiva. Elevernas bakgrunder och erfarenheter av naturen har också påverkat deras uppfattning av friluftsliv. De elever som växt upp i krigsdrabbade länder har inte haft samma tillgång till naturen och det kan ha påverkat deras inställning till friluftsliv.
Background and aim: There is a limited amount of research regarding newly arrived students in school and specifically concerning outdoor life education. The outdoor lifeelement can function as an integration arena for the development of language, knowledge andculture. As newly arrived students often come from difficult circumstances, outdoor lifeeducation can be used as a tool to enhance their KASAM. The aim of the study was to find out how newly arrived students experience outdoor life at school, what factors affect theirattitude towards outdoor life and what motivates them to perform more outdoor life. Method and analysis: The study was conducted using qualitative interviews via Zoom wherewe interviewed five newly arrived students individually who either went to preparatoryclasses or "regular" classes. The students talked about their thoughts and previous experiencesof nature and outdoor life. We have chosen to use the theoretical frameworks KASAM andsociocultural perspective to analyse the data. The analysis of the transcriptions was performedusing thematization. Results: The results of the study show that the students' previous experiences of nature and outdoor life had an impact on their attitude towards outdoor life at school. In their home countries, some had the opportunity to go out into nature both in their free time and at school, while others did not have the same access to it. Nature also differs in their home countries incomparison with Swedish nature. The social interaction between the study's students andteachers has been one reason why their fears have been overcome. A contributing factor to theexperience of outdoor life can also be how many activities the students have had the chance totry out. The students who had carried out more outdoor activities in school were more likelyto engage in more outdoor life. It was noticed that KASAM differed between these students. Conclusion: In this study, teachers have had a major impact on students' KASAM and theymay generally need to become better at motivating their teaching choices for students. Thosewho were negative had not tested as many outdoor activities as those who were positive. Thestudents' backgrounds and experiences of nature have also influenced their perception ofoutdoor life. The students who grew up in war-torn countries have not had the same access tonature and this may have affected their attitude to outdoor life in Sweden as well.

How to understand Man’s relationship with Nature ? This study, achieved with sensitive surveys, is a qualitative and reflexive anthropology. It uses anthrozoology, palaeoanthropology and ethology, symbolism and imagination. If Man is afraid of Nature, how does he manifest it? Nature without mystique, dominated, controled, “boxed”, polluted, destroyed, re-created in artificial situations, Nature makes us examine Man, his complex fears, paradoxes. And Man’s exploration of Nature in daily life or in extreme circumstances, what is he looking for? Nature is an essential need, for well-being, a means of exploring one’s own senses, a source of renewal, a method of escaping society’s pressures. Man’s inner problems are reflected in Nature. It affords him a resting view of himself. It mirrors the animal side of Man. These relationships are ambivalent: between destructive fear and sympathetic interaction, they have as many aspects, facets and reactions as each individual has. Relationships with wildlife, how are they experienced and why? They offer the possibility of (re)discovering oneself whilst discovering the Other, they offer a richness of understanding faced with the natural unknown which wants to be in contact. Nature offers multifaceted enrichment: for the body, senses, emotions, feelings, self-knowledge, mind and spirituality. Thus, Man may experience an inner transformation

Resumo: Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar, a partir da memória de velhas professoras, as concepções de natureza e de relação sociedade-natureza presentes nos depoimentos de velhas professoras da rede pública estadual de uma cidade do interior do estado de São Paulo, nas décadas de 1960 e 1970. Acreditamos que entender como determinada sociedade "torna a natureza presente" Bornheim (1985), é fundamental para a superação dos impasses gerados pela problemática ambiental. Para a realização deste trabalho, optou-se pela metodologia da história oral e constatou-se, por meio das leituras das narrativas, que as professoras entrevistadas "tornam a natureza presente" por meio de diferentes concepções. A natureza como "tudo o que existe", como "vida", uma concepção "religiosa" de natureza, a natureza como a "grande provedora de recursos naturais", a natureza como "universo", "como mãe de todas as coisas" e a natureza como aquela que "tudo recicla" são as concepções de natureza presentes nos depoimentos coletados. Várias professoras consideraram, ainda, a natureza como aquela que pode "dar respostas" e "reagir" às ações desmedidas do homem. Além disso, a natureza apareceu como aquela que deve ser preservada, pois disso depende a manutenção da nossa própria vida. No que diz respeito à relação sociedade-natureza, evidencia-se a relação conflituosa que se estabelece entre o homem e a natureza. Pode-se afirmar que, no geral, o homem foi apresentado como sendo o grande vilão, como aquele que destrói a natureza, sendo caracterizado pelas professoras, entre outras coisas, de ruim, malvado, ganancioso e ignorante. Tentar compreender como a natureza e a relação sociedade-natureza se fazem presentes na memória dessas velhas professoras permite repensar como essa relação tem sido tratada atualmente no âmbito escolar.
Abstract: This research has the objective to identify from the remembrance of old teachers the nature conceptions and nature society relation presented into the old teachers attests from the state public schools from a city in the country of São Paulo in 60's and 70's. We believe that understanding as a certain society becomes a present nature Bornheim (1985) is essential to the overcoming from the conflicts generated by the environmental problematic. To the realization of this work, it was chosen the methodology of the oral history and it was found that for the reading from the narratives that the interviewed teachers make the nature presented by different conceptions. The nature as "all that exists", as "life", a "religious" conception of nature, the nature as the "big provider of natural resources", the nature as "universe", "as the mother of all things", and the nature as one "that recycles all" are the conceptions of nature present in the collected attests. Several teachers considered, yet, the nature as one that can give answers and reacts to the men's undue actions. Besides, the nature came on as one that must be preserved, because the maintenance of our own life depends on this. According to the nature society relation, it is noticeable the conflicted relation that is established between the man and the nature. It can be affirmed, in general, that man was presented as being the big guilty, as the one who destroys the nature, being characterized by the teachers among other things, as bad, mean, greedy and ignorant. Trying to understand how the nature and the nature society relation are present in the remembrance of these old masters, allow us to think again how this relation has been currently dealt in the scholar environment.

Full text

Abstract:

Political realism has enjoyed a renaissance in International Relations (IR). Recent studies have provided insightful accounts of its timeless virtues and philosophical depth. Although the concept of human nature has long been the philosophical basis of realism, it has now become a largely discredited idea. The thesis, Political Realism, Freud, and Human Nature in International Relations, provides an important re-examination of the concept of human nature in realist international-political theory with special reference to one of the truly consequential figures of Western thought: Sigmund Freud. The thesis questions whether human nature is really dead and also asks whether human nature ought to be dead. Examining a variety of theorists from Morgenthau to Mearsheimer commonly invoked as classical and post-classical realism's foremost proponents, the thesis shows that contemporary realism has not eliminated the concept of human nature from its study of world politics. Further, the thesis offers a powerful argument for the necessity of a sophisticated theory of human nature within realism, seeing Freud as offering the most appropriate starting point. This study will interest IR theorists and historians of international thought as well as Freud scholars.

Cette thèse étudie cette notion en inventoriant, dans la première partie, les caractères généraux de l'oeuvre géoplastique et l'extrême variété de ses orientations, en en présentant les artistes exemplaires dans la deuxième partie, et en analyant dans la troisième partie, les influences de la géoplasticité sur la pratique plastique de l'auteur. La géoplasticité peut être caracérisée comme un art de la présentation plus que de la représentation, mettant en oeuvre des moyens sobres mais complexes. Polymorphe, elle nécessite un médium intermédiaire pour rendre compte de l'action ou du travail réalisé "in situ". Elle est une notion qui traverse le champ des arts plastiques, et qui se régénère sans cesse en s'inspirant d'autres domaines.

Abstract:

Ce travail de thèse s'intéresse à la relation entre la composition des phases Hydroxydes Doubles Lamellaires (HDL) et leurs propriétés structurales. La première partie de ce manuscrit est consacrée à la formation et aux propriétés structurales de ces matériaux. L'effet de la nature des cations (MgII, NiII, CoII ; AlIII, FeIII) et de leur stoechiométrie dans le feuillet (MII/MIII E [2 ; 10]) constitue les axes principaux de ces travaux. L'étude du comportement hydrolytique d'un mélange de cations divalents et trivalents en fonction de leurs proportions en solution a permis de proposer un mécanisme topotactique de formation de ces phases HDL. Il a aussi été montré que la variabilité stoechiométrique du feuillet ne dépend que de la nature des cations. Ainsi, des modèles électrostatiques ont été proposés afin de rationaliser et prédire la gamme de composition de ces phases HDL en fonction de la nature des cations. La seconde partie est dédiée aux propriétés du milieu interfoliaire. Une étude couplant des analyses par spectroscopies vibrationnelles infrarouge et Raman et par diffraction des Rayons X a permis d'apporter une description précise de l'influence de la nature des cations, et de leurs stoechiométries sur l'organisation des anions dans le milieu interfoliaire (Cl-, CO32-, NO3-, ClO4-, acides aminés). Le rôle de l'eau dans ces phases a également été étudié. Dans le cas des hybrides organo-minéraux, il a été montré que la charge dicte l'orientation des acides aminés intercalées et par conséquent, leur réactivité envers la formation de la liaison peptidique. Également, les propriétés énantioselectives du domaine interfeuillet sont mises en avant pour la formation de peptides
This manuscript is devoted to the comprehension of the relationship between the composition of Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH) and their structural properties. The first part of this manuscript is focalized on the formation and the structural properties of these materials. The influence of the cationic nature (MgII, NiII, CoII ; AlIII, FeIII) and their stoichiometries within the layer (MII/MIII E [2 ; 10]) constitutes the main axis of these investigations. The study of the hydrolytic behavior of a solution containing a mixture of divalent and trivalent cations as a function of their relative proportion allowed to propose a topotactic mechanism of formation of LDH phases. Moreover, it has been showed that the composition range is solely dependent on the nature of the cations. Thus, electrostatic models were designed to rationalize and predict the composition range as a function of the cationic nature. The second part is concerned with the properties of the interlayer domain. A joint study, coupling vibrational spectroscopies (Infrared and Raman) and X-ray diffraction allowed a detailed description of the influence of the cations and their stoichiometries on the organization of the interlayer anions (Cl-, CO32-, NO3-, ClO4-, aminoacids). The role of the interlayer water has also been investigated. Concerning hybrid organo-minerals, it has been showed that the layer charge dictates the orientation of the interlayered aminoacids, and consequently, their reactivity toward the formation of the peptide bonds. The enantioselective properties of the interlayer domain are highlighted toward the formation of peptides

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis was to examine the characteristics of long-term lesbian relationships (operationally defined as five or more years) and to compare these characteristics with prior findings on short-term or term non-specific lesbian relationships. Several studies that have been done made assumptions about the nature of lesbian relationships based on data gathered from women in brief relationships (Caldwell and Peplau 1984; Elise 1986; Gordon 1980; Krestan and Bepko 1980). This study was designed to examine whether or not lesbians in long-term relationships might have different interpersonal relational dynamics, just as married heterosexual couples have been shown to have relationships differing from heterosexual cohabitating couples. A questionnaire was developed by taking questions directly from prior studies on lesbian relationships in order to allow for direct comparisons. The specific areas investigated were power and equality, merger, feminist impact, structural supports and sexuality. The study used a non-random sample. The fifty-three couples who participated were gathered from announcements made at local and national lesbian events. The data were analyzed through tabular and correlational procedures. Many of the findings in this study were similar to those of earlier research. The respondents were just as likely as those in prior studies to be feminists, to value both autonomy and relatedness, to be sexually satisfied, and to have similar attitudes about women's issues. Feminism, and its focus on independence and non-monogamy, does not seem to have affected these women's abilities to maintain a long-term relationship. But the differences are also important to note. Prior studies had indicated that having equality with their partner was essential for lesbians within their relationships, and couples in this study were much more likely than those in prior studies to say that they had an equal balance of power. They were also more committed. They were more willing to move for their partner, buy a home or car with their partner, and much more likely to believe that they would still be together five years later. They were more likely to have made large joint financial commitments together and to have pooled finances. This information is important for lesbians who value long-term commitments, for therapists who may be assisting lesbian clientele with their relational dynamics, and for researchers examining lesbian relationships.

Abstract:

Nature and culture are closely connected and in constant change in relation to each other. Although this is well known by now the cultural aspects rarely are concidered when it comes to conserving of nature (in Sweden). This paper examines naturums (Swedish visiting centres) relationship to the cultural aspects of landscapes and nature. It also examines how the Swedish nature (Naturvårdsverket) and culture (Riksantikvarieämbetet) conservation agencies work together. Beyond this the paper looks in to why it is important to include the cultural aspects within nature conservation and in what way archaeology could be a rewarding factor in reaching this knowledge. This paper points out why a more holistic picture is needed if we want to take care of the nature in the best possible way for future generations, also why a working ecosystem and landscapes with high natural values are important. This paper focuses on naturum because it´s the biggest museum of nature in Sweden - with great power comes great responsibility. Naturum often works with and for children and youngsters. Therfore it is most important that naturum teaches and inform about all aspects within landscapes, nature and the role humans play within the ecosystem. This to give future generations a holistic picture from the beginning. Naturum will be assessed from a theoretical frame based on the concept of biocultural heritage, which suggests a holistic view of a landscape within research and stewardship concerning landscapes and to transform knowledge in to policy. In the end of the paper, I discuss possible improvements within nature and culture conservation work in Sweden to reach a better cooperation between the two government agencies Naturvårdsverket and Riksantikvarieämbetet. In conclusion I argue that there is knowledge in both Naturvårdsverket and Riksantikvarieämbetet about the importance of including cultural aspects to optimize the conservation of nature. The same seems to go for most naturum, although there is a need of more concrete guidelines from Naturvårdsverket to help naturum to include the aspects in a clearer way. This is important if naturum are gonna be able to inform their visitors about the cultural aspekts within landscapes. I argue that the best thing to do for nature and culture conservation in Sweden is to merge the two agencies into one. I believe this would result in an easier and more natural cooperation between the two.

Abstract:

Dans le domaine des nanosciences qui est actuellement en plein essor, les nanotubes de carbone (NTC) suscitent un fort intérêt en raison de leurs propriétés originales qui résulte de leur structure particulière. Pour maîtriser et optimiser les procédés de fabrication, il est essentiel de comprendre les mécanismes qui régissent leur croissance. Parmi les techniques de synthèse des NTC, la CCVD (Catalytic Chemical Vapour deposition) d'aérosol, développée au laboratoire Francis Perrin, permet la croissance rapide et continue de NTC multi-feuillets alignés et propres par l'injection simultanée de précurseur carboné liquide (toluène) et catalytique (métallocène). Notre principal objectif a été de comprendre comment le métallocène donne naissance à la particule catalytique, quelle est la nature exacte de celle-ci, quels sont les paramètres qui contrôlent son activité et enfin comment les espèces catalytiques cheminent pour permettre la croissance des NTC. Grâce à une approche expérimentale faisant intervenir une étude systématique des produits le long du four pour différentes conditions thermodynamiques (flux et mode de refroidissement) et chimiques (concentration en précurseurs, introduction de gaz réducteur), nous avons mis en évidence une germination homogène des particules de fer en phase gazeuse se produisant en amont de la zone isotherme suivie de leur dépôt graduel le long du four. Les particules catalytiques à la base du tapis de NTCs alignés seraient un fer semi-fondu sursaturé en carbone qui est alimenté en continu par les espèces catalytiques qui diffusent le long du tapis de NTC jusqu'à sa base.
