Zoghi, Masrour. "Regret bounds for Gaussian process bandits without observation noise." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/42865.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents some statistical refinements of the bandits approach presented in [11] in the situation where there is no observation noise. We give an improved bound on the cumulative regret of the samples chosen by an algorithm that is related (though not identical) to the UCB algorithm of [11] in a complementary setting. Given a function f on a domain D ⊆ R^d , sampled from a Gaussian process with an anisotropic kernel that is four times differentiable at 0, and a lattice L ⊆ D, we show that if the points in L are chosen for sampling using our branch-and-bound algorithm, the regret asymptotically decreases according to O(e^{τt/(ln t)^{d/4}}) with high probability,
where t is the number of observations carried out so far and τ is a constant that depends on the objective function.

Detta är en studie om lärande- och skapandeprocesser. Mer specifikt innefattar studien en observation av hur jag arrangerar 3 låtar för olika instrument under en tidsbestämd period. De frågor som behandlas är vilka tekniker jag använder, vilka problem som uppstår och hur det fungerar att arrangera på tid. Slutsatsen av hela observationen har visat att det är en bredd av faktorer som samspelar i kompositionsprocessen. Det har visat sig att jag applicerar intuition, diskursivt tänkande, musikteoretisk teknik och erfarenhet i arrangeringen av musik. Observationen är till stor del belyst av det fenomenologiska perspektivet och fenomenologisk metod används i analysen av mitt observerade material.This is a study about learning and creative processes. More specifically, the study contains an observation of how I arrange three songs for different instruments within a specific time limit. The questions that are accounted for in this study are what techniques I use, which problems arise and how the time limit affects the result. The result of this study shows that a variety of factors are present during my composition/arranging process. It shows that I apply intuition, discursive thinking, music theoretical techniques, and experience in the field of arranging music. The observation is, to some extent, analysed from phenomenological perspective.

The purpose of this study was to examine the practices middle school principals employed during the supervisory process. This qualitative research study examined the practices middle school principals followed during the pre-observation process, observation process, and post observation process. The study also detailed how the data collected from formal observations and classroom walk-through observations was utilized by middle school principals. Due to the increasing number of responsibilities and mounting pressure to provide quality teacher supervision, the practices employed by middle school principals during the supervisory process was an important topic in need of additional research.Ed.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this research is to ease the reuse of components in an Object-Oriented library. We ease the three main processes included in reuse: searching for, understanding and adapting components. The novelty of this approach is that all the information needed to achieve these improvements is learned automatically by spying on the programmer's actions. This thesis describes a model for a learner in an Object-Oriented environment. A specific implementation for the Smalltalk language, called LEARNIST (Learning to EAse Reuse IN SmallTalk), is described and illustrated with examples.

Full textAbstract:
In this project, an algorithm has been proposed to detect a satellite’s maneuver by comparingthe orbital elements observed from the two line element data and the orbital elements propagatedwith the help of Simplified perturbations models. A set of TLE data for an object orbiting Earthcontains a specific set of orbital elements. Simplified perturbation are utilized to propagate theorbital velocity and position vector of the same object. By comparing the results obtained fromboth the methods, the maneuvers of a satellite are detected. This project outlines the workingmethodology and the implementation of the algorithm developed to detect the maneuvers. Thefunctioning of the technique is assessed with reference to two case studies for which the maneuverhistory is available by following the approach employed by Kelecy et al. (2007). The same methodis implemented to detect the orbit controlling maneuvers as well as the fine control maneuvers. Theresults derived from the analysis indicate that the maneuvers which has the magnitude of even aslow as cm/s has been detected when the detection parameters are calibrated properly.

Sammandrag Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka elevers uppfattning om sina möjligheter att vara skapande i skolan, vilka förutsättningar som finns för skapande verksamhet och kulturupplevelser samt hur man uppfyller det styrdokumenten säger gällande estetisk verksamhet i en landsortsskola. Kvantitativ metod i form av enkätundersökningar har använts tillsammans med strukturerade observationer. Undersökningen har genomförts på mellanstadiet i en landsortsskola i västra Värmland och omfattats av 151 elever och åtta lärare. Det empiriska materialet visar att eleverna har störst möjlighet att vara skapande i de ämnen där observationerna pekade på god måluppfyllelse, där eleverna var delaktiga i sitt eget lärande samt då lokalerna var ändamålsenliga. Materialet visar även att man i liten omfattning erbjuder kulturupplevelser i skolan. Arbetets forskningsavsnitt stödjer den skapande verksamhetens betydelse i skolan genom att behandla styrdokument, utveckling och lärande, skapandeprocessen samt betydelsen av upplevelser och intryck.Abstract The aim of this study has been to examine students' perception of their ability to be creative in school, what conditions that exist for creative activities and cultural experiences, and how to the school comply with the steering documents regarding arts in school. Quantitative method in the form of questionnaires has been used along with structured observations. The research has taken place in a primary school in western Värmland and involved 151 pupils and eight teachers. The empirical data indicates that students have the greatest opportunity to be creative in subjects where the observations pointed towards good target achievement, where students were involved in their own learning as well as were the physical premises were appropriate. The material also indicates that the pupils are offered cultural experiences only to a very limited extent in school. This study’s research section supports that the creative activities are highly relevant to school by discussing policy documents, development and learning research, creative process and the importance of experiences and impressions.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the performance of the three estimators of surplus production model including process-observation-error-estimator with normal distribution (POE_N), observation-error-estimator with normal distribution (OE_N), and process-error-estimator with normal distribution (PE_N). The estimators with fat-tailed distributions including Student's t distribution and Cauchy distribution were also proposed and their performances were compared with the estimators with normal distribution. This study used Bayesian method, revised Metropolis Hastings within Gibbs sampling algorithm (MHGS) that was previously used to solve POE_N (Millar and Meyer, 2000), developed the MHGS for the other estimators, and developed the methodologies which enabled all the estimators to deal with data containing multiple indices based on catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE). Simulation study was conducted based on parameter estimation from two example fisheries: the Atlantic weakfish (Cynoscion regalis) and the black sea bass (Centropristis striata) southern stock.
Our results indicated that POE_N is the estimator with best performance among all six estimators with regard to both accuracy and precision for most of the cases. POE_N is also the robust estimator to outliers, atypical values, and autocorrelated errors. OE_N is the second best estimator. PE_N is often imprecise. Estimators with fat-tailed distribution usually result in some estimates more biased than estimators with normal distribution. The performance of POE_N and OE_N can be improved by fitting multiple indices. Our study suggested that POE_N be used for population dynamic models in future stock assessment. Multiple indices from valid surveys should be incorporated into stock assessment models. OE_N can be considered when multiple indices are available.Master of Science

Ford, Sandra Eileen. "Exploring the Relationship between Student Survey Results and Evaluator Observation Results in the Teacher Evaluation Process." Thesis, Lindenwood University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3682284.
Full textAbstract:
Researchers and practitioners have indicated that current teacher evaluation systems do not distinguish differences between teachers. In an attempt to redesign the current system and create a more effective system, legislative mandates required the use of multiple measures in the teacher evaluation systems of states receiving federal money. As a result student perception surveys became one of the multiple measures being considered for use in the teacher evaluation process. In this study, student perception survey results and certified evaluator observation results were analyzed to determine if there was a significant linear relationship between students' and evaluators' perceptions of effective teaching. Central tendencies, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation were calculated using the scores of both variables for each indicator to find the variability within the data sets. Additionally, a Pearson r was used to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between the two variables using six teaching indicators designed through the Network for Educator Effectiveness teacher evaluation program. The Pearson r revealed a significant linear relationship between the two variables for two of the six indicators and a weak to moderate positive relationship for the remaining four. Finally, quartiles of students' and evaluators' scores were calculated and analyzed to further explore potential relationships between the variables. Quartile patterns indicated a potential positive relationship for all six indicators. The results from this study can be used to help local, regional, and state decision-makers better understand the advantages and disadvantages of the various measures commonly used to evaluate teaching personnel.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med föreliggande studie är att studera min lärandeprocess vid instuderingen av en modern operaaria. Studien utgår från ett designteoretiskt perspektiv på lärande med begreppen design, multimodalitet och semiotiska resurser i fokus. Processen pågick under tre veckor under hösten 2017 med totalt 14 övningspass. För att dokumentera lärandeprocessen under dessa övningspass användes metoderna videoobservation och loggbok. I resultatet beskrivs lärandeprocessens design med hjälp av två teman: Kreativt ostrukturerad och Strävan efter helhetsupplevelsen. Resultatet visar också att kroppsliga resurser användes under lärandeprocessens gång för att förkroppsliga musikaliska parametrar, medan materiella resurser användes för att på ett konkret sätt komplettera de kroppsliga resurserna. I diskussionen diskuteras resultatet i förhållande till ett designteoretiskt perspektiv på lärande samt till tidigare forskning om övning och instudering. Några aspekter som berörs är betydelsen av en ljudande förlaga att lyssna till kopplat till helhetsaspekten samt den kreativt ostrukturerade lärandeprocessens inverkan på progressionen i övningen.The purpose of the present study is to examine my own learning process with a modern opera aria. The study is based on a design theoretical perspective on learning with focus on the concepts design, multimodality and semiotic resources. The process went on for three weeks during the autumn 2017 with a total of 14 practising sessions. To be able to document the learning process during these practising sessions, the methods video observation and logbook were used. The design of the learning process is described in the result by two different themes; Creatively unstructured and The endeavour to the overall experience. The result also shows that physical resources were used during the learning process to embody musical parameters, while material resources became a complement to the physical resources in a concrete way. In the last section, the result is discussed relative to a design theoretical perspective on learning and to previous research on practise and rehearsal methods. Some aspects are the meaning of a sounding example to listen to relative to the aspect of the overall experience, and the creatively unstructured learning process and its impact on the practice progression.

Full textAbstract:
Terrorism is a historical problem; however, it becomes one of the biggest problems in 21st century. September 11 and the following Madrid, Istanbul and London attacks showed that it is the most significant problem threatening world peace and security. Governments have started to deal with terrorism by improving security measurements and making new investments to stop terrorism. Most of the governments' and scholars' focus is on immediate threats and causes of terrorism, instead of looking at long-term solutions such as root causes and underlying reasons of terrorism, and the recruitment style of terrorist organizations If terrorist recruitment does not stop, then it is safe to say terrorist activities cannot be stopped. This study focused on the recruitment process by observing two different terrorist organizations, DHKP/C and Turkish Hezbollah. The researcher brings 13 years of field experience and first-person data gathered from inside the terrorist organizations. The research questions of this study were: (i) How can an individual be prevented from joining or carrying out terrorist activities?; (ii) What factors are correlated with joining a terrorist organization?; (iii) What are the recruitment processes of the DHKP/C, PKK, and Turkish Hezbollah?; (iv) Is there any common process of being a member of these three terrorist organizations?; and (v) What are the similarities and differences these terrorist organizations? As a result of this analysis, a terrorist recruitment process map was created. With the help of this map, social organizations such as family and schools may be able to identify ways to prevent individuals from joining terrorist organizations. Also, this map will also be helpful for government organizations such as counterterrorism and intelligence to achieve the same goal.

Studien grundar sig i det designteoretiska perspektivet. Resultatet av studien visade att olika metoder kan ge varierande resultat och att utforskandet av nya metoder kan ge positiva och oväntade resultat. Resultatet pekar även på att strategier och struktur ger positiva effekter vid övning. I diskussionsdelen diskuteras vilka resurser som varit mest givande för min utveckling samt hur en trummis måste vara medveten om sina begränsningar för att strategiskt kunna forma övning.The purpose of this study is to compare two different methods of learning foot-technique and how the two methods affect playing of the drums. To examine this video-observation filled an important role with complement of a journal during the six weeks of practice that were recorded. Each week there were three videos recorded with variating focus each video. The study is based on design theory which is described in the background chapter. The result of this study showed that different methods can result in variating outcome and it also showed that exploring new methods can give positive effects on your practice. The discussion revolves around what resources have been the most impactful for my own personal development and how one must be conscious of one’s own limitations to be able to create a successful plan of practice.

Full textAbstract:
Jag har genom en självobservation studerat hur jag som värmländsk spelman har jobbat för att lära mig Ranungspolskorna av Jon Erik Öst. Syftet har varit att studera min egen läroprocess genom att tillägna mig musik från en annan tradition med noter som mästare. En central fråga i mitt arbete har varit om de förkunskaper jag haft räcker för att spela den nya traditionen eller om jag behöver addera ny kunskap, och i så fall vilken, för att lyckas. Jag har använt mig av videofilmning, ljudinspelning och loggboksskrivande för att dokumentera vad som hänt, och detta material ligger till grund för mitt resultat. Det teoretiska perspektiv som arbetet bygger på är mästarläran, dock med fokus på att det bara har varit jag, instrumentet och noterna som har samarbetat, och inte en ytterligare människa som har agerat mästare. I och med att det bara har varit jag, instrumentet och noterna som samarbetat så har inte ytterligare en människa agerat mästare i studien. Slutligen presenteras resultatet av studien under två rubriker där den första rubriken presenterar läroprocessen och den sista ger konkreta exempel på skillnader och likheter mellan Värmlands och Hälsinglands folkmusikgenre. Resultatet diskuteras därefter i relation till tidigare forskning och bakgrundslitteraturen som använts i föreliggande studie.I have by a self-observation studied how I as a fiddler from the province of Värmland have worked to learn to play the Ranungspolskorna by Jon Erik Öst. The aim has been to study my own learning process by studying music from a different tradition with sheet notes as a master. A central issue in my work has been to find out if the previous knowledge I already have is enough to play the new music tradition or what new knowledge I need to add to succeed. I have been using video recording, audio recording and writing logbook to document what has happened, and this material forms the basis of my results. The theoretical perspective underpinning the work is master learning, but with focus on the cooperation between myself, my instrument and the sheet notes, and no another person acting as the master in the study. Finally I present the result of the study under two headings. The first one presents the learning process and the second gives concrete examples of the differences and similarities between the folk music genre from the provinces of Värmland and Hälsingand. The result is then discussed in relation to the previous research and background literature used in the present study.

Full textAbstract:
Experimental study of the designer plays a critical role in design research. However laboratory based study is often poorly compared and contrasted to practice, leading to a lack of uptake and subsequent research impact. The importance of addressing this issue is highlighted by its significant influence on design research and many related fields. As such the main aim of this work is to improve empirical design research by characterising the relationship between practice and laboratory-based studies for critical design situations. A review of the state of the art methods in design research and key related fields is reported. This highlights the importance and commonality of a set or core issues connected to the failure to effectively link study of practice and study in the laboratory. Further to this a technical review and scoping was carried out to establish the most efective capture strategy to be used when studying the designer empirically. Subsequently three studies are reported, forming a three point comparison between practice the laboratory (with student practitioners) and an intermediary case (a laboratory with practitioners) . Results from these studies contextualise the critical situations in practice and develop a detailed multi-level comparison between practice and the laboratory which was then validated with respect to a number of existing studies. The primary contribution of this thesis is the development of a detailed multi-level relationship between practice and the laboratory for critical design situations: information seeking, ideation and design review. The second key contribution is the development of a generic method for the empirical study of designers in varying contexts - allowing researchers to build on this work and more effectively link diverse studies together. The final key contribution of this work is the identification of a number of core methodological issues and mitigating techniques affecting both design research and its related fields.

Depuis deux décennies le monde du travail est affecté par un processus de restructuration productive qui dégage une tendance générale en termes de mobilité objective et subjective des salaries : les employeurs ne semblent pas seulement préoccupés par l'objectivation des temps et des gestes du travail ; ils semblent accorder une importance progressive à l'implication des salariés et à leur subjectivité, de façon à ce qu'ils fassent un usage de leur temps de travail et de leurs compétences le plus efficient possible du point de vue des objectifs de l'entreprise. Quand la subjectivité des salariés entre dans le point de mire des organisateurs de la production, nous pouvons supposer que la rivalité se déplace également à ce terrain-là, celui de l'usage subjectif du temps de travail. Pour développer cette double hypothèse, nous avons réalisé une longue immersion dans une plateforme téléphonique, dans une industrie de process et dans une industrie de sérieThere is a tendency affecting the whole work world since a few décades on : employers seem not just obsessed about the need of improving work times and work action, but they also seem to give more importance to the employee implication and his/her subjectivity, in order to make the worker use of his/her working time and abilities in the most efficient way from the point of view of the company. When personal subjectivity becomes a target for the company, we can suppose that also rivalry moves to the field of the subjectivity working time.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med den här självstudien är att undersöka hur min kreativa process formas vid användandet av olika kompositionstekniker. De forskningsfrågor som studien har ämnat finna svar på är: Hur erfar jag att min skapandeprocess formas när jag komponerar med hjälp av två separata kompositionstekniker? Vilka likheter och skillnader erfar jag att det finns mellan de olika skapandeprocesserna? För att genomföra detta har två kompositionsmetoder använts för att komponera två stycken för solopiano, ett stycke och kompositionstillfälle per metod. Studien har sin utgångspunkt i det fenomenologiska perspektivet och genomfördes med hjälp av videoobservation och de skisser som producerades under observationstillfällena. Resultatet presenteras uppstrukturerat i sex teman efter linjär tid och består av de två metodernas skapandeprocesser och hur det upplevdes att komponera efter dem. Dessa teman har jag titulerat Den ursprungliga idén (när den första kreativa gnistan slår och exempelvis den initierande cellen skapas), Strukturskiss (när styckets form väljs), Första utkastet (där en helhetsbild ges av stycket och hur dess olika delar relaterar till varandra), Utvecklande (hur det unga stycket utvecklas och fylls ut med exempelvis ackord och andrastämmor), Andra utkastet (när de sista bitarna sätts på plats och styckets sektioner binds ihop), och Sista ändringarna (när kompositionsprocessen gås igenom och tidiga beslut revideras om de inte längre passar in i styckets slutgiltiga form). Avslutningsvis diskuteras resultatet i förhållande till tidigare forskning. Under rubriken Processen behandlas studiens resultat på ett mer allmänt plan, och under rubriken Kreativitet eller kunskap poneras det kring hur mycket av kompositionsprocessen som faktiskt grundar sig i kreativt skapande av nytt stoff.The purpose of this self-study is to investigate how my creative process is shaped by the use of different composition techniques. The research questions that the study has sought to find answers to are: How do I experience that my creation process is formed when I compose using two separate composition techniques? What similarities and differences do I experience the different creation processes? To accomplish this, two methods of composition have been used to compose two pieces of music for solo piano, one piece and composition session per method. The study is based on the phenomenological perspective and was conducted using video observation and the sketches produced during the observation periods. The result is presented structured into six themes after linear time and consists of the two methods creation processes and how it was perceived to compose after them. I have named these themes The original idea (when the first creative spark hits and, for example, the initiating cell is created), Structure sketch (when the shape of the piece is chosen), The first draft (where a more complete picture is given of the piece and how its different parts relate to each other) Developing (how the young piece is developed and filled out with, for example, chords and secondary voices), Second draft (when the last bits are put in place and the sections of the piece are connected), and Final changes (when the composition process is reviewed and early decisions are revised if they no longer fits into the final form of the piece). In conclusion, the results are discussed in relation to previous research. Under the heading The process, the results of the study are examined on a more general level, and under the heading Creativity or knowledge, it is pondered on how much of the composition process is actually based on the creative origination of new material.

May, Virginia. "Intuitive Inquiry and Creative Process: A Case Study of an Artistic Practice." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2005. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/16038/1/Virginia_May_Thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This Master of Arts by research was comprised of two components: creative practice (60%) and a written thesis (40%). The creative practice was partially represented in an exhibition of paintings, drawings, photographs and artist books entitled Traces, held at WiseART Gallery, 166 Ann St, Brisbane, March 2005. The written component is represented in this manuscript.
This case study illustrates the creative process of an individual artistic practice through intuitive inquiry, which utilized self-observation methods such as painting, drawing, photographing, bookmaking, exhibitions, journaling, questioning and mindfulness. Intuitive inquiry is outlined as the predominant method of both the phenomenon of art making in this case, as well as the method used to study the creative process. The concept of intuitive inquiry as a research method, by its similarity to this particular creative process, was well suited to studying its delicate, preconscious, internally reflective and reflexive activities. Intuitive inquiry also underpins the exceptional, transformative experiences of the artist, which are often excluded from conventional empirical research.
The results of this study demonstrate that it is through the hermeneutic interpretations of process, product and dialogue that a deeper understanding of the creative process is gained. The hermeneutic model of creative process that emerged (Fig 4.14) will assist others in a deeper understanding of how creative process can be utilized in generating new knowledge. More importantly, it is this creative interpretive process that can lead to transformative experiences, which encourage both the artist and the audience to search for a deeper engagement with each other and the world.

Studiens syfte är att utforska en musikers kroppsspråk vid instuderingen av en orkesterstämma. Detta har observerats under instuderingen av förstaflöjtstämman i fjärde satsen av Brahms andra symfoni. Studien har sin utgångspunkt i det designteoretiska perspektivet och har genomförts med hjälp av videoobservationer under repetitionsperioden av verket. Jag har även fört loggbok under processen av självobservationen. Resultatet av studien visar att de kroppsliga resurserna kan hjälpa, men också stjälpa, den musikaliska processen och dess uttryck. I diskussionen tar jag bland annat upp hur resurserna används sett ur det designteoretiska perspektivet.The purpose of this study is to explore a musician's body language when studying an orchestral part. The observation took place during my own practice of the first flute part in the fourth movement of Brahms' second symphony and also during the rehearsal with the orchestra. The study has its basis in the perspective of design theory and I have used video observations during the rehearsal period of the work. I have also written a logbook during the process of self-observation. The result shows that the physical resources can help, but also hinder the musical process and its expression. In the end I discuss among other things how resources are used, seen from the design theory perspective.

Syftet med denna studie är att utforska och beskriva erfarandet av vad som sker i min livsvärld när jag arbetar med gehörsbaserad instudering av ett klassiskt stycke. För att uppnå syftet är följande forskningsfråga ställd: Hur erfars gehörsmässig inlärningsprocess av ett klassiskt violinstycke? Självstudien utgår från ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv. Utgångspunkt var ett klassiskt violinstycke som övades in under en period av 9 veckor. Stycket övades 3 gånger varje vecka och samtliga övningspass dokumenterades med loggbok. Ett övningspass i veckan filmades för att också observeras. Resultatet bygger på de återkommande mönster som framkom under analysen och beskrivs i tre faser: Första fasen - Övningsstrategier, Andra fasen – Svårigheter och avslutningsvis Tredje fasen – Lösningar. I diskussionen berörs teman som erfarandet av att lära in ett klassiskt stycke på gehör, inlärningsstrategier och förändrad livsvärld.The purpose of this self-study is to explore and describe the experiences of studying a classical peace by ear. The perspective is the phenomenological life-world perspective. Starting point was a classical piece for violin which I practiced for a period of 9 weeks. The piece was practiced 3 times each week and all sessions were documented in a logbook. Once a week the pratice occasions was also filmed for video observation. The result is based on the patterns which appeard during the analysis and are presented in three phases: First phase-Practice strategies, Second phase-Difficulties and Third phase-Solutions. A discussion about experiences of learning a classic piece by ear, learning strategies and changes in the life-world are made in the last chapter.

Hur kan jag som lärarstudent vid en musikhögskola instudera en operaroll? Jag har undersökt denna fråga genom att observera instuderingsarbetet av rollen som kammarjungfrun Adele från operetten Läderlappen av Johann Strauss. Förutom det konstnärliga arbetet och utforskandet av detta har även perspektivet design för lärande använts som teoretiskt utgångspunkt. Resultaten tematiseras och systematiseras i huvudrubrikerna Resurser och medel samt Processen. I resultatet framkommer instuderingens komplexitet och vilka beståndsdelar som krävdes. Faktorer i resultatet som till exempel skratt och dess påverkan i utryck och teknik framkom under processens gång. Föreliggande studie skulle kunna ses som utforskning av procedurer kring instudering som förberedelser inför ett framtida yrkesval, parallellt med utforskandet av de pedagogiska aspekterna av samma procedurer.How can I – as a teacher student at a college of music – study an opera role? I have examined this question by observing the process of studying the opera role as Adele from The Bat by Johann Strauss. My theoretical perspective is partly based on Design for Learning combined with examining the artistic procedure itself. The results is systemazied under the headers Reasources and tools and The Process. The result chapter shows the komplexitity in studying and learning an opera role. Laughter as a tool in opera was one of the most interseting results. This investigation could be seen as a preparation for a possible future career at the same time as the pedagogical aspects are examined.

Le point de départ de cette recherche est notre participation à l'évaluation du Projet et Ateliers Sup'Sciences visant à sensibiliser les élèves de l'enseignement secondaire aux sciences. Cette recherche commanditée par le Fond d'Expérimentation à la Jeunesse (FEJ) et en partenariat avec la Direction de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche (DESR), nous a permis à la fois d'avoir accès à un terrain d'enquête complet et de penser les contraintes d'une recherche commanditée. Ce travail repose alors, d'une part sur une vision du social fondée sur les processus mis en oeuvre dans ce type de dispositif pédagogique et d'autre part sur l'analyse des situations propre à cette expérimentation. Pour ce faire, il a été question d'articuler plusieurs niveaux d'analyses à partir d'un questionnaire destiné aux élèves, suivi sur trois années, sur les transformations de leurs représentations de la science et des métiers scientifique et sur leur rapport aux savoirs, à la classe et à l'institution scolaire. Ensuite, les analyses d'entretiens auprès des différents acteurs de la communauté éducative complétaient cette évaluation ; ils donnaient des informations sur les processus mis en oeuvre dans l'élaboration et la réalisation du projet. Enfin, les observations in situ en ateliers scientifiques ont mis au jour les activités pédagogiques et la situation d'enseignement, liées à l'expérimentationThe starting point of this research is our participation in the evaluation of the Project and Sup' Sciences workshops to make sensitive the pupils of the secondary education in the sciences. This research financed by the « Fond d'expérimentation à la Jeunesse » (FEJ) and in partnership with « la direction de l'enseignement supérieur et de la recherche » (DESR), allowed us at the same time to have access to a complete ground of investigation and to think of the constraints of a financed research. This work bases then, on one hand on a vision of social established on the processes implemented in this type of educational device and on the other hand on the analysis of the situations peculiar to this experiment. To do it, it was question to articulate several levels of analyses from a questionnaire intended for the pupils, followed over three years, on the transformations of their representations of the scientific science and the businesses and on their relationship in the knowledges, in the class and in the school institution. Then, the analyses of interviews with the various actors of the educational community completed this evaluation; they gave information onto the processes operated in the elaboration and the realization of the project. Finally, the observations in situ in scientific workshops brought to light the educational activities and the situation of teaching, connected to the experiment

Electronic Thesis or Diss., Pau, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024PAUU3028.
Full textAbstract:
Les activités humaines sont à l’origine d’une crise de la biodiversité sans précédent. Les espèces migratrices sont particulièrement menacées, parce que la migration est risquée, et rend en outre ces espèces dépendantes de multiples environnements et de leur connectivité. La phénologie, c’est-à-dire le rythme auquel une espèce réalise un événement de son cycle de vie, influe fortement le coût global de ce dernier. Dans cette thèse, je me concentre sur la phénologie de la première migration vers la mer du saumon atlantique (Salmo salar), un événement crucial dans son cycle de vie. Le changement climatique perturbe de plus en plus la phénologie de nombreuses espèces, y compris les espèces migratrices.Il modifie notamment les traits d’histoire de vie et les facteurs environnementaux qui déclenchent la migration. Il peut en résulter une asynchronie entre les conditions requises par l’espèce pendant, ou à la suite de la migration considérée. La compréhension des mécanismes sous-jacents aux changements phénologiques est essentielle pour prédire l’impact que ces perturbations pourraient avoir sur les espèces. Cependant, ces mécanismes restent mal compris en raison de données incomplètes et/ou d’approches inadéquates pour leur analyse statistique. Pour étudier la première migration vers la mer du saumon atlantique,j’ai utilisé un suivi à long terme (25 ans) par marquage-recapture dans le Scorff (Bretagne, France). Les données collectées en milieu naturel sont sujettes à des variations dans le processus d’observation qui peuvent masquer ou biaiser notre appréhension des processus biologiques sous-jacents. Ceci est particulièrement important lorsqu’un facteur environnemental (tel que le débit) influence à la fois l’observation (par exemple l’efficacité d’un piège) et le processus biologique(déclenchement de la migration). Pour éviter des interprétations erronées,je propose une approche de modélisation bayésienne hiérarchique et mécaniste qui sépare explicitement le processus d’observation (capture par piégeage) e tle processus dynamique d’intérêt (phénologie de la migration), les deux étant influencés par différents effets des facteurs environnementaux. Un premier modèle fournit une estimation des probabilités de capture et de leurs variations au cours du temps, ensuite utilisées dans un second modèle pour identifier les mécanismes de la phénologie de migration. Ce second modèle met en évidence l’importance de la température, du débit et de la variation du débit dans la décision de migration. Ces facteurs peuvent être perturbés par le changement climatique, je termine donc en explorant les conséquences possibles de ce dernier sur la phénologie et la taille des jeunes saumons lors de la migration vers la mer, les deux étant cruciales pour sa fitness. Ma thèse souligne l’importance de la modélisation mécaniste dans la compréhension des changements de la phénologie, et offre une perspective supplémentaire pour comprendre le déclin en cours des populations de saumon AtlantiqueHuman activities are at the root of an unprecedented biodiversity crisis. Migratoryspecies are particularly at risk, because migration is risky and makesthese species dependent on multiple environments and their connectivity. Phenology,i.e. the timing at which a species completes an event of its life cycle,has a strong influence on the overall cost of that event. In this thesis, I focuson the phenology of the first seaward migration of Atlantic salmon (Salmosalar, A. salmon), a crucial event in its life cycle. Climate change is increasing lydisrupting the phenology of many species, including migratory species. Inparticular, it is altering the life-history traits and environmental cues that triggermigration. This can result in asynchrony between the conditions required by the species during, or following, the migration in question. Understandingthe mechanisms underlying phenological changes is essential for predicting theimpact that these disturbances could have on species. However, these mechanismsremain poorly understood due to incomplete data and/or inadequateapproaches to their statistical analysis. To study the first seaward migration ofA. salmon, I used long-term (25 years) mark-recapture monitoring in the Scorffriver (Brittany, France). Data collected in the natural environment are subjectto variations in the observation process that can mask or bias our understandingof the underlying biological processes. This is particularly important whenan environmental factor (such as flow rate) influences both the observation (forexample, the effectiveness of a trap) and the biological process (triggering ofmigration). To avoid misinterpretations, I propose a hierarchical, mechanisticBayesian modelling approach that explicitly separates the observation process(capture efficiency) and the dynamic process of interest (migration phenology),both of which are influenced by different effects of environmental factors. Afirst model provides an estimate of capture probabilities and their variationsover time, which are then used in a second model to identify the mechanisms ofmigration phenology. This second model highlights the importance of temperature,discharge and discharge variation in the migration decision. These factorsmay be disrupted by climate change, so I conclude by exploring the possibleconsequences of climate change on the phenology and size of young salmonduring their migration to the sea, both of which are crucial to their fitness. Mythesis highlights the importance of mechanistic modelling in understandingchanges in phenology, and offers an additional perspective for understandingthe ongoing decline in Atlantic salmon populations

Full textAbstract:
La quatrième révolution industrielle a inauguré une nouvelle ère technologique caractérisée par la numérisation et l'intelligence. Dans ce contexte, on observe une tendance croissante à combiner les technologies traditionnelles avec les technologies plus modernes de l'information. Cette approche forme une nouvelle voie d’interprétation pour la recherche scientifique.Dans le cadre de cette étude propre à la projection thermique, le travail a consisté à utiliser un dispositif de visualisation non invasif pour la collecte en ligne des images d’un jet ensemencé de particules de poudre. Le traitement de ces images par un algorithme spécifiquement développé a abouti à l’extraction de données pertinentes et fiables sur les processus de construction d’un revêtement de projection.En effet, la projection thermique, en tant que technologie traditionnelle dans le domaine des traitements de surface est aussi une technique très prometteuse dans le domaine de la fabrication additive. Les revêtements produits par cette méthode présentent d’excellentes propriétés et sont largement appliqués dans des secteurs variés. Il parait donc important de changer son paradigme en y intégrant les technologies de l'informatique.Les expériences réalisées ont permis d’observer les phénomènes/processus mis en œuvre au cours d’une projection plasma de particules d’alumine et un algorithme a été développé pour extraire les données intéressantes contenues dans les images observées (distribution de la taille des particules en vol, schéma de croissance du revêtement sur le substrat, efficacité du dépôt, etc.). De cette manière, il a été possible d'étudier les distributions de la vitesse des particules et l'angle de vol tout au long du processus de projection plasma.Par la suite, la validation de la technique d'observation et de l’algorithme appliqué à la projection plasma a permis de s’intéresser au processus existant en projection à froid. L'observation in situ de particules de cuivre a donc été conduite pour identifier le processus d'empilement des couches pulvérisées à froid, d’en quantifier la taille et la dispersion des particules formant le dépôt. L'étude a également associé différentes méthodes de caractérisation de façon à comprendre le processus d'empilement des couches lors d’une projection à froidThe fourth industrial revolution ushered in a new technological era characterized by digitalization and intelligence. In this context, there is a growing tendency to combine traditional technologies with more modern information technologies. This approach is opening up a new avenue of interpretation for scientific research.In the context of this study, which is specific to thermal spraying, the work involved using a non-invasive display device to collect on-line images of a jet seeded with powder particles. Processing these images using a specially developed algorithm resulted in the extraction of relevant and reliable data on the construction processes of a spray coating.Indeed, thermal spraying, as a traditional technology in the field of surface treatments, is also a very promising technique in the field of additive manufacturing. The coatings produced by this method have excellent properties and are widely applied in a variety of sectors. It therefore seems important to change the paradigm by incorporating computer technologies.The experiments carried out enabled us to observe the phenomena/processes involved in the plasma spraying of alumina particles, and an algorithm was developed to extract the interesting data contained in the images observed (size distribution of the flying particles, growth pattern of the coating on the substrate, deposition efficiency, etc.). In this way, it was possible to study the particle velocity and flight angle distributions throughout the plasma spraying process.Subsequently, validation of the observation technique and the algorithm applied to plasma spraying made it possible to study the existing cold spraying process. In situ observation of copper particles was therefore carried out to identify the stacking process of cold-sprayed layers and to quantify the size and dispersion of the particles forming the deposit. The study also combined different characterization methods to understand the process of layer stacking during cold spraying

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est une recherche didactique qui traite de la problématique de l’enseignement/apprentissage de l’écrit chez les étudiants non francophones inscrits en formation diplômante à l’université Paris 8. L’étude est partie du constat des difficultés que rencontrent ces derniers à l’écrit et de la nécessité de la maîtrise de cette compétence pour la réussite des parcours universitaires entamés. L’écrit y est défini comme un processus complexe lié au sujet écrivant, à son rapport à l’écrit et à ses représentations. C’est une recherche qualitative qui s’appuie sur trois types de données : productions écrites relevées à différents moments du processus rédactionnel guidé ; entretiens réalisés avec quatre étudiants sur les représentations développées sur l’écrit et enfin des données issues d’une enquête par questionnaire auto-administré réalisée auprès de cinquante étudiants non francophones inscrits à l’université Parsi 8. Les résultats de l’analyse du processus rédactionnel indiquent une conception linéaire et non itérative du processus de planification. De même qu’ils pointent des difficultés dans le maintien de l’intention communicative du sujet écrivant pendant la rédaction. Enfin, ils montrent une concentration sur les normes linguistiques au détriment du contenu sémantique. L’analyse des données discursives issues des entretiens a révélé des conceptions et des malentendus concernant l’écrit et sa pratique. Des résultats que l’enquête a renforcés. Celle-ci pointe la focalisation des étudiants sur les normes linguistiques dans l’interprétation de leurs difficultés. Elle montre aussi une conception restreinte des fonctions de l’écrit considéré comme simple outils de communication et de transcription d’idées et non comme un médiateur cognitif favorisant des opérations intellectuelles complexes. Des fonctions pourtant fortement mobilisées dans l’écrit universitaireThis thesis is a didactic research that deals with the problem of teaching / learning writing for non French-speaking students enrolled in a degree program at Paris 8 University (repetitions) . The study is based on the observation of the difficulties encountered by these students in writing and the need to master this skill for the success of the academic paths already set. Writing is defined as a complex process related to the writing subject, its relation to writing and its representations. It is a qualitative research based on three types of data: written productions taken at different times in the guided writing process; interviews with four students on representations developed in writings and finally data from self-administered survey questionnaires of fifty non-French-speaking students enrolled at Paris 8 University. The results of the analysis of the writing process indicate a linear and non-iterative understanding –writing or conception of the planning process. Just as they point to difficulties in maintaining the communicative intention of the writing subject during writing. Finally, they show a concentration on linguistic norms to the detriment of semantic content or meaning. The analysis of the discursive data from the interviews revealed some writing issues and misunderstandings related to writing and its practice. These are the results that the investigation has strengthened. This highlights the students' focus on linguistic norms in interpreting their difficulties. It also shows a restricted conception of the functions of writing that are considered as simple tools of communication and transcription of ideas and not as a true cognitive mediator favoring complex intellectual operations. Duties yet strongly mobilized in the academic writing

This study is a multiple case study of two physics teachers – one public and one private school teacher - using observational and interview data to illustrate and analyze their communication/talk process in the classroom. Implications are drawn for the way that they develop dialogue, which is further explored in regards to identified frame factors. Data collection was complemented with field notes and audio-recordings. The observations served for identifying the communication process. Interviews were used to develop the understanding of the teacher’s background and their beliefs on teaching for further strengthening the evidence for the findings. Transcripts were developed for detailed qualitative analysis of selected episodes of their communicative approaches.Concepts and theories on the importance of the communication process for reflective thinking and a learner-centered classroom along with the frame factors theory aid the construction of the research and are linked to the findings.The study provides insight on the frequency of elicitation of dialogic communication encouraging of reflective thought occurring at recurrent rate by the private school teacher during lecturing. The findings showed that frame factors steering the two teacher’s elicitation of communication were the curriculum, the teachers’ educational opportunities, external support and their ideologies. Findings suggest that reverting the teachers discourse fully towards an environment of dialogic communication encouraging of reflective thought - an aim of the Kosovo Curriculums - require additional sustenance and a profounder inquiry of the influence of teachers ideologies and how it can be diminished. Furthermore, an assessment of the curriculums implementation in classrooms and its limiting aspect of providing dialogically organized instruction is necessary along with assessment of the trainings offered to teachers.

Syftet med denna studie är att studera och analysera min egen instrumenttekniska utveckling samt den inlärningsprocess som sker när jag övar gitarrteknik regelbundet och strukturerat under tio veckor. Under dessa tio veckor dokumenterades övning med hjälp av videoinspelning en gång i veckan. Studien utgår från ett designteoretiskt perspektiv där fokus har legat på att analysera hur olika resurser har använts för att designa lärandeprocessen och hur denna design har förändrats under studiens gång. I resultatet visar det sig att jag använt flera olika kroppsliga och materiella resurser som samverkar i lärandeprocessen. Genom en jämförelse av övningspass i början och slutet av projektperioden framkommer det att en instrumentalteknisk utveckling har ägt rum. I diskussionsdelen diskuteras hur designen genom resurser och olika övningsstrategier har utvecklats samt hur det möjliggör lärande. Dessutom diskuteras de tecken på lärande som framkommer i resultatet.The purpose of this study is to study and examine the personal learning process and learning process that is revealed as I practice guitar technique regulary and structured for ten weeks. During those ten weeks the practice was documented by video recordings once a week. The study is based on a design theoretic perspective which focuses on the analysis of how different resources have been used to design the learning process and how this design changed during the course of the study. The result reveals that I use a number of different bodily and material recourses that cooperates in the learning process. Also, the progress of the personal instrumental technique has been analysed by compare the difference in quality between practice sessions in the beginning and the end of the project period. It shows that development has taken place. In the last section of the study the design using resources and different practicing strategies, their development and how they can enable learning is discussed. Furthermore, the last section contains a part where signs of learning as shown in the result is discussed.

Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka på vilket sätt det är möjligt att designa en övningsprocess för att uppnå spelteknisk utveckling på instrumentet piano och om denna process kan gynna en utveckling inom området improvisation. För att undersöka detta har jag under en tioveckorsperiod övat på två specifika övningar, ca. fem övningspass i veckan á 20-30 minuter per tillfälle. Dokumentation av övandet har skett via videofilmning och loggboksskrivande. Jag har i analysen utgått från ett designteoretiskt perspektiv. I resultatdelen av arbetet beskrivs vilka resurser jag använt för att öva, hur övningen designats samt hur mitt pianospel, med inriktning på improvisation, påverkats av detta övande. Det har i resultatet framgått att många olika typer av resurser använts och att mycket av det jag valt att fokusera på har gett positiva resultat. I diskussionsdelen diskuteras resultatet utifrån det designteoretiska perspektivet samt den litteratur och tidigare forskning som jag presenterat.The purpose of this study is to observe and examine my own learning process when practicing technique on the piano. The purpose is also to observe how this affects my piano playing. In order to examine this I have, during a ten week period, practiced two specific exercises, five times a week 20-30 minutes per session. I documented the sessions via video and a logbook. I have chosen a design theoretical perspective as my theoretical basis. In the result section, I describe which resources I have used in my practice, how I choose to design my practice as well as how it has affected my piano playing. It turns out that I have used many different resources and that many of them has produced positive results. Lastly, I discuss the results in relation to relevant literature and research.

Detta arbete syftar till att utforska hur övning på fiol kan designas för att den ska kännas meningsfull och effektiv. Studiens forskningsfråga är: Vilka semiotiska resurser använder jag mig av när jag övar terser på fiol? För att undersöka detta har jag under ett år gjort tekniska övningar med hjälp av olika övningsstrategier för att se progressionen i min utvecklingsprocess. Studiens metod är videoobservation och loggboksskrivande och arbetet utgår från ett designteoretiskt perspektiv. Resultatet presenteras i två teman: Semiotiska resurser för dokumentation och Semiotiska resurser för motivation och progression. I diskussionen problematiserar, belyser och jämför jag studiens slutsatser med forskning och litteratur inom området.The purpose of this study is to explore how practice can be designed in a meaningful and effective way. The research question is: What kind of semiotic resources do I use during practice thirds on the violin? The study is based on technical exercises used over a period of one year, the used method is video observations and logbook notes and the perspective is design theoretical. Two themes are presented as result: Semiotic resources for documentation and Semiotic resources for motivation and progression. In the last chapter, I discuss, problematize and compare the result with literature and research in the field.

Syftet med arbetet är att följa och studera min egen läroprocess vid instrumentaltekniskt övande. Övningen skedde på en period av tolv veckor, fem gånger i veckan á minst tjugo minuter per tillfälle. För att dokumentera detta har jag videofilmat fyra av dessa övningspass. Jag har även fört loggbok för att kunna hantera mina inre reflektioner och upplevelser under övningen. För att inte störa min egen lärandeprocess har jag medvetet valt att inte följa någon särskild undervisnings- eller övningsmetod, utan låtit mig välja tillvägagångssätt helt själv. Som teoretisk utgångspunkt har jag valt designteoretiskt perspektiv. I resultatdelen beskrivs hur jag designat min egen övning, och hur detta övande påverkat mitt gitarrspel. Det har visat sig att mycket av det jag valt att fokusera på i min övning har gett positiva resultat samt att jag har använt mig av många olika typer av resurser för att ta till mig kunskap. I diskussionsdelen diskuteras dessa resurser och resultat utifrån presenterad litteratur, tidigare forskning och det designteoretiska perspektivet.The purpose of this study is to observe and examine my own learning process when practicing guitar technique. The practicing took place in a period of twelve weeks, five times a week with at least twenty minutes per session. To document this, I have video documented four of these practice sessions. I have also written a logbook to keep track of my inner reflections and experiences during practice. In order to not disturb my own learning process, I have deliberately chosen not to follow any particular teaching or training method. As a theoretical basis, I have chosen a design theoretical perspective. In the result section, I describe how I choose to design my practice, and how it has affected my playing. It turns out that much of what I have chosen to practice has produced positive results, and that I used many different types of resources for learning. In the last section I discuss these resources and results based on previous literature and research as well as from a design theoretical perspective.

La dispersion d'un traceur passif (sf#6) a partir du site du commissariat de l'energie atomique (cea - grenoble) a ete etudiee a l'aide de simulations numeriques et des campagnes experimentales. Dans ce travail on a utilise comme site d'etude l'agglomeration grenobloise, puisque c'est un cas typique de relief complexe au confluent de vallees. Les releves experimentaux de mesure de concentration de traceur en divers points de la ville ont ete compares avec les resultats des modeles numeriques bases sur la solution analytique de l'equation de transport-diffusion. Les donnees meteorologiques obtenues a partir d'un pylone ont servi a determiner un spectre d'energie et des valeurs de rugosite. Les donnees meteorologiques, celles d'un sodar et d'un radiosondage ont determine les conditions initiales utilisees par le code submeso. Ce code est base sur la simulation numerique des grandes echelles (les) par la solution des equations de mecanique des fluides, avec resolution explicite des grandes echelles et modelisation des echelles sous-maille. Pour la validation du modele submeso on a simule le passage d'un ecoulement au dessus d'un saut de rugosite et on a compare les resultats avec ceux obtenus experimentalement par bradley. On verifie aussi le comportement du scalaire passif dans une atmosphere convective en se basant sur l'experience de laboratoire de willis et deardorff. Les resultats des modeles gaussiens et les montrent un bon accord avec ceux des campagnes experimentales de dispersion de sf#6 sur la ville de grenoble. Cependant la les possede les avantages supplementaires d'un calcul tridimensionnel des champs de vitesses, temperature, pression et l'energie cinetique dans tout le domaine de calcul. On montre que la les peut etre utilisee pour definir une statistique de dispersion applicable a des conditions meteorologiques particulieres du site d'emission. Cette statistique pourrait etre introduite dans les modeles gaussiens avec une prise en compte des classifications de types de journees.

Full textAbstract:
Heterogeneous data with different characteristics are ubiquitous in the modern digital world.
For example, the observations collected from a process may change on its mean or variance.
In numerous applications, data are often of mixed types including both discrete and continuous variables. Heterogeneity also commonly arises in data when underlying models vary across different segments. Besides, the underlying pattern of data may change in different dimensions, such as in time and space. The diversity of heterogeneous data structures makes statistical
modeling and analysis challenging.
Detection of change-points in heterogeneous data has attracted great attention from a variety of application areas, such as quality control in manufacturing, protest event detection in social science, purchase likelihood prediction in business analytics, and organ state change in the biomedical engineering. However, due to the extraordinary diversity of the heterogeneous data structures and complexity of the underlying dynamic patterns, the change-detection and analysis of such data is quite challenging.
This dissertation aims to develop novel statistical modeling methodologies to analyze four types of heterogeneous data and to find change-points efficiently. The proposed approaches have been applied to solve real-world problems and can be potentially applied to a broad range of areas.Ph. D.

I explore visual and process-based systems to solidify the allusive nature of conceptual ideas. Impermanence, time and interdependence are reoccurring themes that stem from an interest in Eastern philosophy. Oscillating from representation to abstract minimalism, printmaking to sculpture, each element in a work is tailored to the concept. The minimalist appearance suggests simplicity, however elaborate planning and systematic execution are at the heart of my practice. Systems create great constraint, yet provide great freedom.
