Tato práce se zabývá možnostmi, které poskytuje moderní elearningový systém, a to hlavně v oblasti výuky objektově orientovaného programování. Práce se zaměřuje na praktické využití elearningu v podpoře začínajících studentů. V teoretické části se zkoumá jak předmět programování, tak osobnost programátora. Identifikuje se teorie Felder-Silvermanova a odvozuje se z ní, proč mají někteři studenti s počátky programování větší problémy než jiní. Zvyšující se zájem se zaznamenává o koncept učebních objektů a jejich využití v elearningu. Práce se mimo jiné snaží poskytnout odpověď na otázku, zda je možné aplikovat principy učebních objektů také pro efektivní doplněk výuky programování. Východiskem této práce je vyhledání a rozbor nejvhodnějších elearningových řešení. Jelikož se nedaří najít systém obsahově vyhovující, jež by se dal přímo nasadit, slouží analýza jejich kladných i záporných stránek ve vlastním řešení v praktické části této práce. Pro zpracování praktické části se na základě rešeršovaných systémů volí forma animací vytvořených v prostředí Adobe Flash. Tyto animace vysvětlují co nejjednodušším způsobem pojmy objektově orientovaného programování. Při tvorbě animací je reflektována koncepce učebních objektů. Je kladen důraz na maximální názornost a interaktivitu. Klíčové snímky navrženého prostředí jsou detailněji popsány v závěru práce.

Full textAbstract:
Today’s market competitiveness and globalisation are putting pressure on organisations to join their efforts, to focus more on cooperation and interaction and to add value to their businesses. That is, most information systems supporting these cross-organisations are characterised as service-oriented business applications, where all the emphasis is put on inter-service interactions rather than intra-service computations. Unfortunately for the development of such inter-organisational service-oriented business systems, current service technology proposes only ad-hoc, manual and static standard web-service languages such as WSDL, BPEL and WS-CDL [3, 7]. The main objective of the work reported in this thesis is thus to leverage the development of service-oriented business applications towards more reliability and dynamic adaptability, placing emphasis on the use of business rules to govern activities, while composing services. The best available software-engineering techniques for adaptability, mainly aspect-oriented mechanisms, are also to be integrated with advanced formal techniques. More specifically, the proposed approach consists of the following incremental steps. First, it models any business activity behaviour governing any service-oriented business process as Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rules. Then such informal rules are made more interaction-centric, using adapted architectural connectors. Third, still at the conceptual-level, with the aim of adapting such ECA-driven connectors, this approach borrows aspect-oriented ideas and mechanisms, and proposes to intercept events, select the properties required for interacting entities, explicitly and separately execute such ECA-driven behavioural interactions and finally dynamically weave the results into the entities involved. To ensure compliance and to preserve the implementation of this architectural conceptualisation, the work adopts the Maude language as an executable operational formalisation. For that purpose, Maude is first endowed with the notions of components and interfaces. Further, the concept of ECA-driven behavioural interactions are specified and implemented as aspects. Finally, capitalising on Maude reflection, the thesis demonstrates how to weave such interaction executions into associated services.

Šiame magistro baigiamajame darbe lyginamos objektinių ir reliacinių duomenų bazių taikymo galimybės objektiškai orientuoto programavimo kontekste. Duomenų bazių ir objektiškai orientuoto programavimo naudojimas iškelia dvi pagrindines problemas. Pirma problema yra reliacinių duomenų bazių ir objektiškai orientuotų programavimo kalbų nesuderinamumas. Antra – duomenų bazių naudojimas judriųjų programų sistemų kūrimo metodikų aplinkoje. Norint palyginti reliacinių ir objektinių duomenų bazių taikymo galimybes buvo nuspręsta sudaryti metodų ir įrankių, skirtų iškeltoms problemoms spręsti, vertinimo modelį. Kadangi iškeltos problemos buvo per stambios vertinimo modelio sudarymui, jos buvo detalizuotos. Vertinami įrankiai ir metodai buvo suskirstyti į keturias kategorijas pagal prigimtį. Iš kiekvienos grupės buvo vertinamas vienas įrankis ar metodas. Darbo pabaigoje visi gauti rezultatai agreguoti ir pateiktos objektinių ir reliacinių duomenų bazių taikymo rekomendacijos, išskirti privalumai ir trūkumai. Beveik pagal visus vertinimo kriterijus objektinės duomenų bazės įvertintos maksimaliais balais.

Joint usage of databases and object oriented programming raises two problems relevant today. First problem is impedance mismatch of relational databases and object oriented programming languages. Second – database usage in agile software development process environment. In order to define application area of object and relational databases it was decided to compose assessment model to compare solutions available today. Since chosen problems were too bulky they were detailed. The evaluated methods and tools were categorized into four groups by their nature. One tool or method from each group was evaluated. In the end of this MA paper all results were aggregated into object and relational databases usage guidelines and databases usage pros and cons. Object databases got the best evaluations in almost all defined criteria. However, evaluation also showed that object databases have some restrictions in application, such as bad performance when using multiple transactions. Object-relational mappers are not suitable for storing complex hierarchical class structures and usage with agile software development processes. Relational concepts integration into intermediate objects can be used only for very simple object schemes.

Robache, Frédéric. "Évaluation sur simulateur de conduite du comportement humain en situation de pré-crash : application à l'amélioration des airbags." Thesis, Valenciennes, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017VALE0013/document.
Full textAbstract:
Les constructeurs automobiles sont tenus de respecter des minima sécuritaires vérifiés lors de crash-tests normalisés, d'où un nombre de scénarios de tests limité ne tenant pas compte des particularités individuelles. Ce mémoire propose d'évaluer le comportement humain réel en phase de pré-crash sur simulateur de conduite. L'expérimentation, intégrant un scénario d'accident difficilement évitable, a permis d'étudier le comportement de 76 conducteurs dont 40 sur simulateur dynamique. Pour ce groupe, 43 voies de mesures centrées sur le conducteur ont été intégrées au protocole. Parmi les résultats obtenus, on retiendra la possible détection précoce de l'accident, pour la moitié des conducteurs, sur la base de leur interaction avec le véhicule. Les manœuvres d’évitement amènent 25% des sujets à positionner l'avant-bras devant le volant au moment de l’impact. Cette situation peut compromettre l'efficacité des airbags, ce qui est vérifié sur banc statique, par le déploiement d'airbags face à un mannequin de type Hybrid III-50%. La projection du bras entraine un impact de 120g à la tête. De plus, l'intégration de membres supérieurs issus de SHPM montre que la situation provoque des fractures de l'avant-bras. Un modèle numérique a été conçu pour estimer les effets de la position atypique lors d'un crash frontal à 50km/h. L'accélération de la tête atteint 270g, synonyme de risques lésionnels élevés. Enfin, une modification technologique des airbags est proposée, basée sur l'hypothèse que la détection à distance peut permettre un déclenchement anticipé et plus lent des airbags. Testée expérimentalement et numériquement, cette évolution permet de respecter les critères lésionnelsAutomakers are lawfully required to achieve a minimum level of security which is checked during standardized crash tests. This results in a limited number of scenarios, which do not take individual specificities into account. This dissertation evaluates real human behaviour during the pre-crash phase, by means of a driving simulator. The experiment, integrating an unavoidable accident, studied the behaviour of 76 drivers, of which 40 drivers on a dynamic simulator. Concerning this group, 43 acquisition channels dedicated to drivers were added. From the results, one can retain that the crash can be predicted for half of the drivers through the observation of their behaviour and their interaction with the car. Due to swerving manoeuvres, 25% of the drivers have their forearm just in front of the steering wheel at the time of crash. This situation may compromise the efficiency of the airbags, that is verified experimentally on a static bench, by the deployment of airbags in front of a Hybrid III-50% dummy. The throwing of the arm causes an impact of 120 g to the head. In a second stage, the integration of left upper limbs from PMHS reveals that the situation is likely to generate fractures in the forearm. A numerical model has been designed to estimate the consequences of the atypical position during a frontal crash at 50km/h. The head acceleration reaches 270 g, synonymous with high lesion risks. Finally, a technological modification of the airbags is proposed to reduce this risk. The assumption is made that the use of remote sensors technologies can allow an early detection of the crash and therefore slower triggering of airbags. Tested experimentally and then numerically, this technical evolution reduces the violence of the impact to respect the injury criteria

Full textAbstract:
Embedded real-time applications have to allow interaction between the control computer and the controlled environment. Controlling the environment requires in particular to take into account its time constraints and critical logical conditions. One of the main programmer efforts in real-time application's development is to trace the incoming events, and to perform reactions based on the current system status, according to the application requirements. All this have to be handled, although external events may come in the middle of a critical reaction, which may disturb it. This problem involves two difficulties: X The cognitive efforts to percept the problem, and consequently to express the solution. X The correct translation of this solution to code. Two requirements were defined in this research in order to achieve high-quality performance: clearness and robustness, clearness in the design, and robustness in the execution. In this work the author proposes a methodology and a tool for real-time application's development that uses or implies an innovated form of design based on natural-cognitive researches. This design method has clear compilation's rules to produce an Object-Oriented light-code, suitable for embedded platforms. These compilation's rules introduce to the code implicit security and synchronization's elements, to support robust execution. In this methodology, clear development phases were defined, using a high-degree of reuse and even polymorphism, which were emphasized in the research. Several existing ideas were improved/adapted and synthesized together with the author's innovation, creating the Arts'Codes method for real-time application development. The work includes cognitive evaluations, assuring the natural skills of the design. Arts'Codes method proposes a natural VPL (Visual Programming Language) for real-time applications, based on hierarchic components. This VPL is built on a minimum of diagrams: one for the static architecture and one for the dynamic behaviour, with a similar restricted notation at all levels. These two diagrams (static architecture and dynamic behaviour) are interleaved in a unified view. This method was implemented by building a suitable graphic editor, which automatically compiles the applications diagrams in a light and robust Object-Oriented code (based on Parallel Automata FSM), and by building an execution compact software platform. Furthermore, the parallel automata FSM are translated automatically in PTL temporal formula defining the goals and the behaviours of the components, permitting to prove a-priory that the components behaviours are consistent to their goals. The execution platform is based on a restricted implementation of the synchrony hypothesis and on a powerful model of execution: the parallel automata FSM. These Parallel Automata describe the dynamic behaviours of the components and allows implementing run-time exceptions handling too. In addition, the research proposes a tri-processor execution hardware platform, which supports a hybrid synchronous/multi-threading execution. This method will contribute to versatile, clear and robust real-time application's development.

O ensino de computação gráfica aplicada é de muita importância no processo de simulação computacional de problemas de engenharia. Atualmente, muitos programas de computador, de fácil utilização, têm melhorado este trabalho, como é o caso do MATLAB. A geração e manipulação de um modelo geométrico, que é a forma mais realista e apropriada de representar o problema a ser estudado, são etapas muito importantes na simulação computacional. O uso do mouse permite que estas etapas se tornem mais interativas e de fácil compreensão. Por este motivo, neste trabalho desenvolve-se uma classe genérica no contexto da programação orientada a objetos, no ambiente MATLAB, que permite gerenciar eventos de mouse em um canvas. O objetivo desta classe é ser utilizada no desenvolvimento de programas gráficos e interativos em MATLAB, principalmente para fins educacionais. Visando atender a essas expectativas, adotou-se a Orientação a Objetos, que possibilita a criação de códigos reutilizáveis. Aliada a essa técnica, utiliza-se a Unified Modeling Language, uma linguagem gráfica que permite a visualização, construção e documentação do desenvolvimento de um sistema computacional orientado a objetos. Para determinar o correto funcionamento e praticidade da classe desenvolvida, são implementadas duas aplicações interativas no software MATLAB; a primeira para desenhar pórticos planos em 2D e a segunda para demostrar o funcionamento do círculo de Mohr para estado plano de tensões.
Teaching of applied computer graphics is of great importance in computational simulation of engineering problems. Currently, many user- friendly computer programs have improved this work, as is the case with MATLAB. The generation and manipulation of a geometric model, which is a more realistic and appropriate way to represent the problem to be studied, are very important steps in the computational simulation. The use of the mouse allows these steps to become more interactive and easy to understand. For this reason, in this work a generic class is developed in the context of object-oriented programming (OOP) in the MATLAB environment, which allows managing mouse events in a canvas. The goal of this OOP class is to be used as a base class in the development of graphics and interactive programs in MATLAB, mainly for educational purposes. In order to meet these expectations, an OOP paradigm was adopted, which enables the creation of reusable codes. Together to this technique, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used, a graphic language that allows the visualization, construction and documentation of the development of an object oriented computational system. To determine the correct functioning and practicality of the developed class, two interactive applications are implemented in MATLAB; the first to draw frame structures in 2D and the second to demonstrate the Mohr circle for stress state.

Urbanization is nourishing the urban poverty. Half of the World’s population is urban citizens and the number is increasing. Solutions to challenges can come from new ideas as well as previous tools. This study investigates the feasibility of applying a rural development program, One Tambon One Product (OTOP), and developed into a slum development strategy. By choosing the Klong Toey slum in central Bangkok, Thailand, the study contextualizes the demographic characteristics, values and realities into a theoretically applied study. The focal aim of the study is to increase the understanding of a bottom-up approach of socio-economical development. By formalizing the informal occupations and by highlighting alternative incomes for slum dwellers to integrate in participatory decision making and influence their own path of development increase the socio-economical conditions. The study identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the OTOP project and systematically follow these variables into slum settings. Based on theoretical framework of participatory development and empowerment, the study discusses local contexts and Thai cultural characteristics followed by modifications of the original ideas from OTOP into a so called One Slum One Product (OSOP) project.Urbanisering föder urban fattigdom. Hälften av världens befolkning är stadsbor och antalet ökar. Lösningar på utmaningarna kan komma från nya idéer likaväl som tidigare verktyg. Denna studie undersöker möjligheterna att tillämpa ett landsbygdsutvecklingsprogram, One Tambon One Product (OTOP), till en slumutvecklingsstrategi. Genom att välja Klong Toey- slummen i centrala Bangkok, Thailand, har studien kontextualiseras de demografiska karaktäristikerna, värderingar och verkligheter till en teoretiskt applicerad studie. Studiens tyngdpunkt är att öka förståelsen av en så kallas bottom-up inställning av socioekonomisk utveckling. Genom att formalisera de informella yrkena och belysa alternativa inkomstkällor för sluminvånare samt att integrera dem i det demokratiska beslutsfattandet ökar man socioekonomiska villkor.Studien identifierar OTOP:s styrkor och svagheter och följer systematiskt dessa variabler i slummiljö. Utifrån de teoretiska ramverken för deltagande utveckling och empowerment diskuterar studien den lokala kontexten, thailändska kulturella drag och modifieringen av OTOP idén till en så kallad One Slum One Product (OSOP) projekt.

Windows Distributed interNet Application (DNA) architecture which describes a framework of building software technologies in an integrated web and client-server model of computing, is employed in the system. The entire system was modeled with Unified Modeling Language (UML), which is an industry-standard visual modeling notation to express software development architectures. Feature-based design approach, being a practical way of linking the design with manufacturing, is implemented in the rotational part design.
Users have to be registered in order to use the system. With the supplied web site, users can easily register to system. After registration, the user obtains a password and a unique username. Upon the user authentication, the user session starts. A typical user session involves new or past project selection, material selection, part sketching, blank size definition and cutting parameters determination. After all the steps are completed, process plan and part-program, which are required to manufacture the part on Denford Mirac CNC Turning Machine are generated and displayed on the web site and then saved to the database. The application enables the users to see past projects and to generate new process plan and part programs for different cutting parameters. The process plan, part program and the 2D wire frame drawing of the corresponding part are demonstrated on the web site for the chosen projects.

Full textAbstract:
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the globally the most recognised method for quantifying theimpact the a product or service has on the environment through its whole life-span. Theconstruction sector plays a key role in the depletion of the natural resources and the energyconsumption on the planet. Thus it is fundamental that an environmental assessment tool likeLCA should be in close cooperation with the construction process.This thesis focuses on the environmental impact of bridge abutments, and can be divided in twoparts.The rst one focuses on enhancing the automated design in the construction eld. A Python codeis created that focuses on creating the geometry of any type of bridge abutment and conductingthe calculations for the required concrete and reinforcement. The process is attempted to becomecompletely automated.The second part introduces three alternative designs for a bridge abutment that attempt to havethe same structural properties and cooperate successfully with the superstructure, while at thesame time utilize as little material as possible. The possible reduction in material is quantiedin environmental terms after an environmental impact assessment is performed.The results show that dierent designs can have a great impact on the reduction on the materialconsumption and on the impact that the whole structure has on the environment. The resultsin this study might provide the designers with valuable motivation and guidelines to achievehigher sustainability standards in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Software radio is a radio that is substantially defined in software and whose physical layer behavior can be significantly altered through changes to its software. As a primary goal of software radio is the ability to support existing and future wireless protocols, software radio necessitates the use of a rapidly reprogrammable baseband processing solution. However third generation wireless protocols represent a significant increase in complexity over second generation protocols. Due to the natural performance sacrifices that must be made when moving an application from an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) to a general purpose processor or a digital signal processor, it is feared that reprogrammable processing solutions may not suffice for the emerging wireless protocols, which would significantly hinder the realization of software radio, particularly in the handheld domain where power consumption and chip area are critical.
Recently, the Configurable Computing Lab at Virginia Tech developed a new breed of reprogrammable processor which they called â custom computing machinesâ (CCM). Representing a dramatic departure from traditional architectures used for baseband processing solutions, CCMs utilize a large number of optimized and programmable processing cores connected through a programmable mesh. Due to this architectural approach, CCMs have been promoted as supplying a level of processing power and power efficiency similar to ASICs while providing a level of reconfigurability similar to that of a DSP. Subsequently, Dr. Srikathyayani Srikanteswara proposed a new software radio architecture, known as the Layered Radio Architecture, which is intended to facilitate the inclusion of CCMs into a software radio.
The primary goal of the research presented in this thesis is to demonstrate how a particular CCM, Stallion, can be used within the Layered Radio Architecture to provide sufficient processing performance, power efficiency, and reconfigurability to meet the constraints of the handheld domain through implementations of a single user adaptive receiver with adaptive complex filtering and a W-CDMA downlink rake receiver. These metrics are measured from a detailed simulation of Stallion and the Configuration Layer of the Layered Radio Architecture using advanced object oriented programming techniques that facilitate the inclusion of statistics gathering routines into normal operation. To provide perspective, these statistics are compared to the performance that could be expected from an implementation on a top-of-the-line DSP.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
This independent work includes refactoring a website application. In simpler sense, it means modernizing existing code by increasing its quality and making it more understandable; to exchange old knowledge of methods and concepts into something that is more relevant to its time. This refactoring has also meant to transform the UI into something that is more appealing, and more userfriendly. The website that has gone through the refactoring is Nordyr (”https://nordyr.com/”). Nordyr is a Nordic Film & Series Database that shares information about Nordic films and tv-series, and everyone involved. They also offer social tools such as user profiles and various tools to simplify the exploration and interaction between Nordic movies and consumers. This was made possible by using vanilla PHP, JavaScript/jQuery, and the MariaDB database for information storage and management. The implementation of the refactoring meant retaining PHP for the backend, but applying the Laravel framework, and likewise for JavaScript, but applying ReactJS (a powerful JavaScript library). Nordyr retains MariaDB for its information storage and management, however, its SQL queries have been adapted to Laravel’s query-builder and Eloquent ORM, which means that the majority of SQL queries have been rewritten and the majority of data tables are now represented by models. The restructuring of Nordyr has shown that the website now has the ability to scale better, and the development environment will also be more pleasant for those involved.Det här självständiga arbetet har innefattat att omstrukturera en hemsida. Det innebär i enklare mening att modernisera kod och öka dess kvalité; att byta ut äldre kunskaper om metoder och koncept till något som anses vara av mer relevans för sin tid. Refaktoreringen har också inneburit att dess UI gjorts om till att bli mer tilltalande och användarvänlig. Hemsidan som gått igenom refaktoreringen är Nordyr (”https://nordyr.com/”). Nordyr är en Nordisk Film- & Serie-databas som delar information om nordiska filmer och tv-serier och alla inblandade. De erbjuder även sociala verktyg som användarprofiler och diverse verktyg för att förenkla upptäckandet och interaktionen mellan nordiska titlar och konsumenter. Detta gjordes möjligt med hjälp av vanilj PHP, JavaScript/jQuery, och databasen MariaDB för informationslagring och hantering. Genomförandet av refaktoreringen innebar att behålla PHP för backend men tillämpa ramverket Laravel, och likaså för frontend, JavaScript stod kvar men ReactJS (”JavaScript bibliotek”) tillämpades. Nordyr behåller MariaDB, men dess förfrågningar i SQL har anpassats till Laravels query-builder och Eloquent ORM, vilket innebar att majoriteten av SQL frågor skrivits om och majoriteten av tabeller representeras nu av modeller (”Models”). Omstruktureringen av Nordyr har visat på att hemsidan nu har förmågan att skala bättre, och utvecklingsmiljön kommer även bli mer behaglig för de inblandade.

Full textAbstract:
The practice of sequential testing is followed by the evaluation of accuracy, but often not by the evaluation of cost. This research described and compared three sequential testing strategies: believe the negative (BN), believe the positive (BP) and believe the extreme (BE), the latter being a less-examined strategy. All three strategies were used to combine results of two medical tests to diagnose a disease or medical condition. Descriptions of these strategies were provided in terms of accuracy (using the maximum receiver operating curve or MROC) and cost of testing (defined as the proportion of subjects who need 2 tests to diagnose disease), with the goal to minimize the number of tests needed for each subject while maintaining test accuracy. It was shown that the cost of the test sequence could be reduced without sacrificing accuracy beyond an acceptable range by setting an acceptable tolerance (q) on maximum test sensitivity. This research introduced a newly-developed ROC curve reflecting this reduced sensitivity and cost of testing called the Minimum Cost Maximum Receiver Operating Characteristic (MCMROC) curve. Within these strategies, four different parameters that could influence the performance of the combined tests were examined: the area under the curve (AUC) of each individual test, the ratio of standard deviations (b) from assumed underlying disease and non-disease populations, correlation (rho) between underlying disease populations, and disease prevalence. The following patterns were noted: Under all parameter settings, the MROC curve of the BE strategy never performed worse than the BN and BP strategies, and it most frequently had the lowest cost. The parameters tended to have less of an effect on the MROC and MCMROC curves than they had on the cost curves, which were affected greatly. The AUC values and the ratio of standard deviations both had a greater effect on cost curves, MROC curves, and MCMROC curves than prevalence and correlation. The use of BMI and plasma glucose concentration to diagnose diabetes in Pima Indians was presented as an example of a real-world application of these strategies. It was found that the BN and BE strategies were the most consistently accurate and least expensive choice.

Full textAbstract:
Vuoden 2015 suuren turvapaikanhakijamäärän tuloksena tulevaisuudessa yhä useampi koulutiensä aloittava ekaluokkalainen kuuluu johonkin etniseen vähemmistöryhmään. Maahanmuutto ja kahden kulttuurin rajamailla kasvaminen koettelevat lapsen identiteetin kehittymistä, sillä nopeat elämänmuutokset aiheuttavat epävarmuutta ja heikentävät nuoren ihmisen identiteettiä.
Tässä tutkielmassa pyrin selvittämään, millä tavoin luokanopettaja voi tukea maahanmuuttajaoppilaan identiteetin rakentumista alkuopetuksessa. Haen tutkimuskysymyksiin vastauksia tarkastelemalla identiteetin käsitettä maahanmuuttajalapsen näkökulmasta sekä selvittämällä maahanmuuttajien opetukseen liittyviä arvoja, tavoitteita ja käytänteitä. Opettajan valmiuksia kohdata ja opettaa maahanmuuttajaoppilaita lähestyn opettajan interkulttuurisen kompetenssin kautta.
Maahanmuuttajaoppilaan identiteetin rakentuminen on pitkä ja monivaiheinen prosessi, joka kehittyy vuorovaikutuksessa sekä peilautumalla sosiaaliseen ympäristöön. Jotta lapsi voi saavuttaa joustavan ja eheän monikulttuurisen identiteetin, tulee hänen pystyä integroitumaan eli omaksumaan uuden kulttuurin arvoja ja tapoja oman kulttuurinsa rinnalle.
Aiempaan tutkimustietoon pohjautuen nostin esiin kolme tärkeintä maahanmuuttajaoppilaan identiteetin tukemiseen liittyvää teemaa. Oppilaantuntemus ja luottamuksellinen opettaja-oppilassuhde ovat avainasemassa identiteetin rakentumisen tukemissa. Identiteetin muotoutumisen kannalta on tärkeää, että maahanmuuttajaoppilas kokee kuuluvansa ryhmään ja olevansa osa kouluyhteisöä. Opettajan tehtävänä on luoda toimintakulttuuri, jossa jokainen oppilas tuntee itsensä hyväksytyksi ja arvostetuksi. Koulun ja kodin välinen tiivis yhteistyö on tärkeää, sillä sujuvan kasvatuskumppanuuden on todettu edistävän lapsen joustavan monikulttuurisen identiteetin kehittymistä.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this project is to investigate potential environmental responses to the extensive volcanism associated with the Afro-Arabian Large Igneous Province, by analyzing major and trace element contents in the carbonate phase of Oligocene sediments from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 115 Site 709. These sediments were deposited above the carbonate compensation depth and span the main eruption interval of the Afro-Arabian Province at ~30 Ma based on the presence of correlated volcanic ash layers. Large Igneous Provinces erupt large magma volumes (>0.1 million km3) over a short time period (<1 million years). Due to their size, many large igneous provinces coincide with episodes of global environmental change, as recorded in faunal extinction events, anomalies in the global carbon cycle, and changes in ocean water composition. A major issue with linking volcanic events to environmental change is determining synchronicity between volcanic and sedimentary records.The sediments of this study contain tephra layers that can correlated to specific onshore eruptions from the Afro-Arabian large igneous province, and provide a definitive record of the timing of volcanism. Major and trace element analysis of the sediments show five groups of elements that share similar chemical behaviors. The sediments can be divided into three stratigraphic groups with different compositions. The boundary between Group 2 (the middle group) and Group 3 (the shallow group) occurs at a depth of 243± 0.75 meters below sea floor, and is marked by a sudden increase in manganese and rare earth elements. Its inferred age of 30.45 ± 0.10 Ma is consistent with the onset of Afro-Arabian volcanism. The boundary between Group 1, the deepest stratigraphic group, and Group 2 may occur at a depth of 258.21 ± 0.75 meters below sea floor, with an inferred age of 32.31 ± 0.10 Ma, defined by a gradual decrease in manganese and rare earth elements. This chemical change might correlate with the timing of the Eocene-Oligocene Oi-1 global cooling event, however additional analyses of [delta]18 O and [delta]13 C stable isotopes are necessary to fully resolve any connection.

Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this work I explore the use of sound as a means of presenting news to the user of the Internet. I accept that news sound as such, as it is presented on radio, is an effective mass communication medium. From there I ask the question if this sound, with the same underlying principles used in radio, can be effectively used on the Internet. This opposed to real changes made in the gathering, preparation and presentation of sound to be effective on the Information Superhighway. In the first chapter I look at the methods (good and bad) utilized to present sound on the radio. When I present a model for Internet use later in the work (chapter 5) I use these as a starting point. Some definitions are formulated, which also become important in chapter 5. In the second chapter I touch on the origins of the Internet and the use of web sites to provide a news service. I explore the methods employed by news specific sites to communicate information to Internet users and I compare that to uses on a non-news site, in this case National Geographic.com. Again I use the positive aspects of the study of these sites to form part of the model presented in chapter 5. Chapter 3 is dedicated to the technological development of the Internet and the use of multimedia to convey information. I also touch on the future of the information system and the expectations and requirements these developments would put on journalists working on the medium. In chapter 4 I compare the way in which three news sites handled the covering of the terrorist attack on America. Because of the territorial advantage, I choose to look at the coverage one year after the event. The positive use of text, video, sound and images on these three sites are used to format the model in the next chapter. As said previously, chapter 5 contains a model for the use of multimedia, specifically sound, to convey news information on the Internet. While the focus is on sound, I suggest here that the model is applicable to all the aids available to the Internet producer.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie werkstuk ontleed ek die gebruik van klank as 'n werktuig om nuus aan die Internetgebruiker oor te dra. Ek gaan van die beginsel af uit dat nuusklank op sy eie, met ander woorde soos dit op die radio uitgesaai word, wel 'n effektiewe, vinnige metode is om nuus aan massas mense oor te dra. Die vraag word gevra of klank op dieselfde manier, met dieselfde grondbeginsels en gebruike, 'n effektiewe medium is om nuus op die Internet aan te bied. Dié vraag word in teenstelling geplaas met die moontlikhede dat klank liefs op die radio hoort en nie deel behoort te wees van nuuswebtuistes nie, of dat daar wesenlike veranderinge gemaak behoort te word aan die nuus wat op die radio aangebied word, voor dit effektief op die Internet gebruik kan word. In die eerste hoofstuk kyk ek na die oorsprong en geskiedenis van radio en daarna na die ontwikkeling van nuus op radio. Ek behandel die beginsels van radionuus, met die doelom hierdie kenmerke dan later in die werkstuk (hoofstuk 5) te gebruik as die grondbeginsels vir 'n model vir die gebruik van klank om nuus op die Internet oor te dra. Ek kyk na die goeie en slegte praktyke wat in die oordrag van nuus op radio ontstaan het en probeer hierdeur sif om nie dieselfde swakplekke by die bogenoemde model in te sluit nie. In hierdie hoofstuk formuleer ek dan definisies vir die verskillende gebruike van klank om nuus oor die radio oor te dra. Hierdie definisies word ook later gebruik in die model vir die effektiewe gebruike van nuusklank op die Internet. In die tweede hoofstuk kyk ek na die oorsprong van die Internet, en dan (in meer detail) na die ontstaan van nuuswebtuistes. Ek ontleed die manier waarop inligting aan Internetgebruikers oorgedra word, op webtuistes wat spesifiek vir nuus geskep is, maar ek vergelyk dit ook met 'n webtuiste wat na my mening die Internet se kenmerke behoorlik aanwend om inligting oor te dra, nl. NationaIGeographic.com. Die goeie en slegte punte van die oordrag van inligting op die medium word ontleed, om ook later deel te vorm van die model in hoofstuk 5. Ek kyk in die derde hoofstuk na die tegnologiese ontwikkeling van die Internet en die gebruik van multimedia op die netwerk. Daar word ook geraak aan die toekomsmoontlikhede van die oordrag van groot hoeveelhede data (soos klank en video) op die netwerk. Soos die tegnologie ontwikkel, moet die persoon wat die produk daarstelontwikkel, en ek kyk na die vereistes wat aan joernaliste/vervaardigers van Internetnuus gestel word. In die vierde hoofstuk vergelyk ek die Internetaanbiedings van 'n spesifieke nuusgebeurtenis, die aanval op Amerika op 11 September 2001, van drie nuuswebtuistes. Ek kyk na die aanbiedings van die BBC, CNN en die SAUK, spesifiek na die gebruik van teks, grafika, video en klank om nuus aan Internetgebruikers oor te dra. Die (goeie en minder goeie) gebruik van klank op dié drie webtuistes vorm dan die basis van die model wat ek in hoofstuk 5 aanbied. Die vyfde hoofstuk word gewyaan die daarstelling van 'n model om klank as nuusmedium op die Internet te gebruik. Ek kyk na die beginsels van die goeie gebruik van klank wat in die eerste hoofstuk daargestel is en probeer dit verwerk vir gebruik op die Internet. Hoewel ek nie spesifiek die gebruik van ander media, soos teks, video en grafika, behandel nie, doen ek in hoofstuk 5 voor dat die model vir al die hulpmiddels op die Internetnuuswebtuiste kan geld.

Conflict and injustice are endemic to the imperfectness of human existence, and the Church of
Christ is not immune to them. Various means can be adopted to solve conflict in the church.
This study is concerned with legal restitution through calling at a major assembly, as provided
in Article 31 Church Order.
Statement of the problem
Biblical grounds for the right of appeal are largely lacking in the Reformed church polity. In
addition, there is no clear definition of the concept 'injustice' in Article 31 Church Order. In the
case of appeals brought to a synod of the RCSA, the verdict usually contains no guidelines on
how the matter should be dealt with in practice in order to effect reconciliation. Consequently,
the outcome of an appeal does not necessarily contribute to the solution and restoration of
broken relationships.
Aim and method of work
This study endeavours to
determine the biblical grounds of appeal and legal restitution in Reformed church polity
through scriptural study;
establish the essence and content of appeal in Reformed church polity; and
examine the functioning, treatment and application of appeal with a view to legal restitution
in the RCSA, and address shortcomings in this respect.
Findings
Legal restitution occurs when
an appeal is judged according to clearly defined norms;
the verdict rests on the same norms; and
the necessary steps had been taken to reconcile the parties involved in the appeal
Organisation
The study is divided into four main sections:
biblical foundation of appeal with a view to legal restitution;
historical development of appeal with a view to legal restitution;
fundamental definition of appeal with a view to legal restitution; and practical treatment of appeal with a view to legal restitution. Finally, the research questions born from the problem statement are answered by means of concluding statements.Thesis (Ph.D. (Church Polity))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.

Full textAbstract:
To let many users benefit from the high speed communication in an optical fiber, a way to share the channel is needed. One way to share the channel between the users is the multiple access technique of Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA. This technique is based on coding. By assigning the users different codewords, the receiver is able to distinguish the information sent from each user. One family of codes suitable to use in a fiber optic network is the constant weight Optical Orthogonal Codes, OOC.
To influence the users interference tolerability it is possible to assign the users codewords of the same length but with different weights. By letting the users have codewords of different length it is possible to have different data rates in the system. These two versions of optical orthogonal codes, with variable length and weight, are investigated in this thesis for their cardinality. The variable weight and variable length codes were created by combining optical orthogonal codes with different parameters.
I have found that for variable length OOC:s of weight 2 it seems to be possible to increase the cardinality of a code, but for codes with higer weights than that, it is better that all users are assigned codewords of the same length. But since an upper bound for the cardinality of these types of codes has not been found, it is not possible to verify if this conclusion is correct. For variable weight OOC:s it is found that it is only possible to increase the cardinality of small, not optimal, codes. For codes including many codewords it is rarely possible to include more codewords without breaking the conditions on cross correlation between the codewords.

Full textAbstract:
Even though there are many software development and project management methodologies available, research and practice both show that IT software development projects still fail, and that the quality of software products does not always meet customers' expectations. There might be multiple causes for such failures, but some of these reasons can be seen to influence or create others. Therefore, the larger the project is, the higher its risk of failure, especially if the teams involved work remotely (distributed and outsourced). This increase in project complexity is considered the motivation for this paper. Similarly, there are other factors that can result in a project's failure and customers' dissatisfaction regarding software quality. All such factors identified by research conducted by organizations specializing in this area are analyzed in order to identify a common root of IT project failures. Once the root causes of these failures have been identified and analyzed, the goal of the Interface based software development methodology is to solve them. The solution offered by an Interface based software development methodology is to improve understanding of software requirements and to describe these requirements with interfaces in an object-oriented way. Interface based software development will support and drive development towards service-oriented architecture (SOA) and component-based development (CBD). The goal of interface based software development is to increase software testability and maintainability and to make it more easily feasible to execute various software development processes in parallel.

Vatten i Sverige har länge ansetts hålla hög kvalitet, men trots detta inträffar årligensjukdomsfall orsakade av förorenat dricksvatten. I enlighet med livsmedelsverketsföreskrifter om dricksvatten ska dricksvatten vara ”hälsosamt och rent”. Detta är dock inteett praktiskt tillämpbart villkor, då ingen acceptabel risk har satts upp.Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) och det amerikanska naturvårdsverket (US EPA) hardäremot satt upp gränser för vad som är en acceptabel sjukdomsrisk respektiveinfektionsrisk för dricksvatten.Denna studie syftade till att bedöma om reningen vid Hyndevads vattenverks, medavseende på mikroorganismer, möjliggör att en acceptabel risknivå uppnås. Detta hargenomförts med hjälp av metoderna Optimal desinfektionspraxis (ODP) ochMikrobiologisk riskanalys (MRA). ODP är ett norskt system för att bedömamikrobiologiska risker vid ett vattenverk och MRA är ett svenskt verktyg som genom att tahänsyn till variationer i vattenkvalitet och driftförhållanden beräknar hälsorisken. MRA gerutdata i form av infektions- och sjukdomsrisk för konsumenterna samt gör det möjligt attpå ett enkelt sätt jämföra olika typer av beredningar och scenarion med varandra.Vattenverket visade sig varken ha tillräckligt antal skyddsbarriärer, enligtlivsmedelsverkets rekommendationer, eller uppnå tillräcklig rening enligt ODP eller MRA.Resultaten har lett till bedömningen att reningen med avseende på mikroorganismer inte ärtillräcklig och att åtgärder är nödvändiga. Som åtgärd föreslås att nuvarande reningsprocesskompletteras. De tillbyggnader som enligt simuleringarna i MRA skulle klara US EPA:sgräns, som innebär att den årliga infektionsrisken underskrider 1/10 000, var: 1. Membranfiltrering med porstorlek 0,01-0,1 μm 2.

Kemisk fällning vid god flockbildning och filtreringFor a long time Sweden has been known to have a high quality of water, although everyyear diseases occur due to drinking water. According to the Swedish National FoodAdministration drinking water shall be “healthy and clean”. In practice this is hard toapply, as an acceptable risk level has not been decided. The World Health Organization(WHO) and the American Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) have specified theacceptable risk for illness and infection due to drinking water.The purpose of this study was to estimate if the process at Hyndevad water treatment plantachieves an acceptable risk level. This has been done by using the methods ODP (Optimaldisinfection practice) and MRA (Microbiological risk assessment). ODP is a Norwegianmethod to evaluate if the process is good enough. MRA is a Swedish tool that includesvariations in water quality and process operation which make it possible to replace riskestimates with calculated numbers. The data is given as risk of infection and disease for theconsumers. This makes it possible to compare different types of processes and scenarios.The study has shown that the water treatment plant neither provides sufficient protectivefence according to Swedish National Food Administration recommendations, nor iseffective enough according to ODP or MRA. This leads to the conclusion that thereduction of microorganisms is not good enough and actions are necessary. That is why itis suggested that the process is complemented. The additional processes that manage toaccomplish the limit according to US EPA, less than 1/10 000 infected per year, would be: 1. Membrane filtration with mesh size 0,01-0,1 μm 2. A combination of 2 mg O3/l, 25 mJ UV/cm2 and monochloramine instead of currentchlorination where the additional processes are calculated to treat the artificialgroundwater 3. Chemical precipitation with good flocculation and filtration

O projeto de doutorado tem como objetivo estudo e montagem de um sistema laser que gere feixe laser de comprimento de onda sintonizável continuamente, com intervalo espectral na região infravermelho (IV) próximo e médio. O trabalho foi dividido em três partes: (i) laser de Nd:YAG @1064nm, (ii) aplicação deste sobre uma cavidade ressonante OPO e (iii) simulação de cavidades laser em anel. O laser de Nd:YAG foi montado e aprimorado a partir de outro laser desenvolvido anteriormente, o qual foi transformado em fonte polarizada pela inserção de um elemento óptico no seu interior. Em comparação com o laser não polarizado, ele apresentou potência de saída com valores relativamente altos, com um máximo de 30W, e melhora do fator de qualidade do feixe de M2<1,3 mais próximo do valor ideal igual a 1 e assim próximo do modo TEM00, adequado para aplicações de transferência de energia. A aplicação do laser Nd:YAG polarizado sobre uma cavidade OPO linear (meio ativo: cristal de Niobato de Lítio dopado 5%MgO:LiNbO3 com alternância de polarização, conhecido pela sigla PPLN) foi bem sucedida, por ter sido observado seu funcionamento pela geração em seu meio ativo dos feixes (λS, λC) sinal e complementar sintonizados continuamente, mostrando que valores de potência e fator de qualidade foram adequados e suficientes para ser testado em um OPO. Foi mensurada na saída potencia de 1W para o feixe complementar, onde a eficiência de inclinação da curva mostrou valores de 20,8% e 23,4% para bombeio pulsado (temperaturas do cristal TC=100°C/150°C), e o valor de 11,1% (TC=150°C) para bombeio contínuo. A aplicação da técnica knife-edge no feixe complementar (TC=150°C/rede periódica do cristal Λ0=31,59m/ λC=2470nm) resultou em fator de qualidade do feixe de M2=5,75(165). Foi realizada simulação numérica, visando estudo e planejamento de duas cavidades em anel simétricas, com sintonização contínua dos feixes de interesse na saída. A primeira contém um cristal PPLN como meio ativo, onde ocorre Oscilação Paramétrica, gerando feixe na região espectral do IV médio. A segunda cavidade possui dois cristais, que são PPLN e Triborato de Lítio (LiB3O5 conhecido pela sigla LBO), onde ocorrem na ordem Oscilação Paramétrica e Geração de Segundo Harmônico, gerando feixe na região espectral entre visível e IV próximo. Foram obtidos dois conjuntos de valores de dimensões para as cavidades, usando base teórica e condições de contorno apropriadas ao realizar os cálculos necessários, fixadas as informações sobre os respectivos componentes ópticos, onde o feixe de bombeio @1064nm focalizado no centro do cristal PPLN possui valor de cintura de feixe pouco maior que 50 μm. O laser de Nd:YAG @1064nm polarizado desenvolvido possui montagem simples e custo baixo de seus componentes, reduzindo o custo do sistema laser final onde foi aplicado, comparado com outros sistemas laser sintonizáveis. Deseja-se estudar o desenvolvimento destes para um modelo de frequência única, usando-o como fonte de bombeio para geração de feixes com largura de linha estreita, visando aplicação em espectroscopia.The purpose of this doctoral project is the study and mounting of a continuously tunable wavelength laser system generating beams in the near and to middle infrared (IR) spectral region. This work was divided into 3 parts: (i) fundamental mode, polarized Nd:YAG @1064nm laser, (ii) its use in a resonant OPO cavity and (iii) ring cavity laser simulations. A continuous Nd:YAG @1064nm laser was mounted and developed, based on an already tested setup, with the added feature of a polarized beam at the exit. Compared with the non-polarized laser source, it presented high output power, with maximum value of 30W, and an improvement of the beam quality factor such that M2<1,3, close to the ideal value of 1. The application of this polarized Nd:YAG laser as a pump source for a linear Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) was successful, generating tunable Signal and Idler beams (λS, λC) inside the active media (5%MgO:LiNbO3; doped periodically-poled Lithium Niobate crystal, or PPLN). For the idler beam, a maximum power of 1,1W was measured, and 3 slope efficiency values were obtained of 20,8% (TC=100°C) and 23,4% (TC=150°C) for the pulsed pump source, and the value of 11,1% (TC=150°C) for the CW pump source. The knife-edge technique applied in the idler beam (TC=150°C, crystal periodic grating Λ0=31,59m, λC=2470nm) resulted in a beam quality factor of M2=5,75(165). Numerical simulations were performed, aiming at the study and planning of 2 symmetrical ring-cavities to generate continuous tunable beams at their exits. The first cavity contains a PPLN crystal as active media, where Parametric Oscillation occurs generating two beams in the mid IR spectral region. The second cavity contains two crystals inside it, a PPLN for the OPO and a Lithium Triborate (LiB3O5 known as LBO) for Second Harmonic Generation (SHG), with the beam of interest being in the near IR spectral region. The polarized Nd:YAG @1064nm laser shows a simple setup and uses low cost components, reducing the final laser system price, compared with other tunable laser systems. The next steps involve research and development of a single frequency laser pump source, to generate single frequency beams in the projected OPO ring cavities for future applications in spectroscopy.

Nos últimos anos, o paradigma de desenvolvimento de software dirigido a modelos tem se consolidado e ganho popularidade. Desta forma, um produto de software pode ser obtido através de transformações dos modelos de mais alto nível de abstração para os de mais baixo nível, sendo essa transformação guiada por metamodelos. Por exemplo, requisitos iniciais de um sistema de software podem ser transformados em modelos conceituais deste sistema. Observamos que, tanto a abordagem de modelagem de requisitos i* (iStar) como a linguagem de modelagem conceitual OO-Method (OO-M), têm ganho notoriedade no âmbito acadêmico e industrial. Nesta dissertação, estamos interessados em transformar modelos de requisitos iniciais, descritos em i*, em modelos conceituais especificados em OO-Method. Em particular, investigaremos como os requisitos não-funcionais (NFR) de produto, relacionados a softgoals internos a um ator sistema do i*, poderão ser analisados nas abordagens que transformam modelos de requisitos i* em modelos conceituais descritos em OO-Method. Erros e omissões dos requisitos não-funcionais têm impacto bastante negativo na qualidade do produto final: custos elevados de correção pós-implantação e inviabilização do projeto de software. Esses requisitos estão entre os mais caros e difíceis de corrigir. Nesta dissertação, é apresentada a proposta OOM-NFR, que analisa os softgoals internos a um ator sistema em modelos i* para verificar conflitos, prioridades e satisfação dos mesmos. Além disso, com base nos metamodelos i* de origem e OO-Method de destino, a proposta especifica um processo de transformação contendo regras que convertem uma instância de um modelo i* em outra instância do modelo OO-Method. Com o processo OOM-NFR, o modelo OO-M gerado reflete as prioridades dos softgoals especificados em i*. Para ilustrar e validar a proposta, foi concebido um exemplo de uma aplicação baseada num sistema real, utilizando-se a linguagem de transformação de modelos Query/View/Transformation (QVT) para automatizar e implementar essas transformações.

Investigamos as propriedades quânticas dos feixes de luz produzidos pelo oscilador paramétrico ótico (OPO) acima do limiar, tanto experimental quanto teoricamente. Apresentamos a primeira medida de emaranhamento entre os feixes gêmeos, sinal e complementar. Estes podem possuir frequências óticas muito distintas, correspondentes a centenas de nanometros em comprimento de onda. O emaranhamento entre duas cores possibilita transferir informação quântica entre diferentes regiões do espectro eletromagnético. A demonstração experimental do emaranhamento foi realizada mostrando que a soma de variâncias de observáveis tipo EPR dos campos, a subtração de intensidades e a soma das fases dos feixes, viola uma desigualdade que deve ser necessariamente satisfeita por todos os estados separáveis. Mostramos a presença de squeezing em ambos os observáveis, com os respectivos valores $\\Delta^2 p_- = 0,49(1)$ e $\\Delta^2 q_+ = 0,65(1)$ relativos ao ruído quântico padrão. A desigualdade violada resultou $\\Delta^2 p_- +\\Delta^2 q_+ = 1,14(2)< 2$. Isso solucionou um problema aberto desde 1988, quando se previu teoricamente pela primeira vez a existência desse emaranhamento. Mostramos teoricamente que as correlações quânticas se estendem ao feixe de bombeio refletido pelo OPO, culminando no emaranhamento entre os três feixes envolvidos no processo paramétrico. Tem-se, assim, a geração direta de emaranhamento tripartite entre três regiões muito distintas do espectro. O emaranhamento multicolor amplia ainda mais as possibilidades de conversão da cor da informação quântica, com aplicações em redes quânticas. As diversas melhorias que realizamos em nosso sistema durante a busca pelo emaranhamento bipartite trouxeram uma compreensão mais profunda sobre a física de seu funcionamento, além de tornar nosso OPO uma fonte estável de feixes de luz coerente emaranhados. Este trabalho vem incluir o OPO acima do limiar no ferramental da área de informação quântica com variáveis contínuas. Esperamos em breve aplicações muito interessantes desse sistema.We investigate the quantum properties of the light beams produced by an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) above threshold, both experimentally and theoretically. We present the first measurement of entanglement between the bright twin beams, signal and idler. These may differ in wavelength by hundreds of nanometers, showing different \'colors\'. This special characteristic allows for the transfer of quantum information between different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Entanglement was experimentally demonstrated by showing that the sum of variances of two EPR-like observables, the subtraction of the beams intensities and the sum of their phases, violates an inequality necessarily fulfilled by all separable states. We obtained squeezing in both observables, with the respective values $\\Delta^2 p_- = 0,49(1)$ and $\\Delta^2 q_+ = 0,65(1)$ relative to the shot noise level. The violated inequality resulted $\\Delta^2 p_- + \\Delta^2 q_+ = 1,14(2)< 2$. This solved an old problem, enunciated in 1988, when this effect was theoretically predicted for the first time. We show theoretically that the quantum correlations extend to the pump beam reflected by the OPO as well, culminating in entanglement among the three fields involved in the parametric process. Therefore, the OPO actually produces tripartite entanglement among very distant spectral regions in a direct manner. Multicolor entanglement opens new possibilities in the frequency conversion of quantum information. The improvements we performed in our system in order to achieve this result have brought a deeper understanding of the phenomena involved, as well as a more stable system operation, resulting in the development of a reliable source of bright entangled light beams. This work has finally added the above-threshold OPO to the optical quantum information toolbox. We expect new and exciting applications to come in the near future.

Thesis (MPhil (Sociology and Social Anthropology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.ENGLISH SUMMARY: This study focuses on the shortage of labour in the rural areas of the Free State and, in direct contrast to the high unemployment figures and great demand for jobs. The upskilling of unskilled labour is one of South Africa’s biggest social problems. It is becoming ever more pressing given the increasing demand for skilled labour to adapt to technological advancement and the new information era. The South African government has created various initiatives and policies to accommodate and provide previously disadvantaged groups with opportunities for training and better life prospects. Viewing South Africa’s rural areas from a historical perspective may result in scepticism about the success of these training initiatives and question the commitment of private business towards these policies. Policies and regulations increasingly place greater administrative pressure on workplaces, which could lead to the expectation that training in companies would merely be regarded as an extra burden. The VKB, a local agricultural co-operative in the Free State, challenges this assumption. This study investigates the experiences and expectations of employees to determine the impact of training on individuals. Interviews with employees and management in the company show that training plays a crucial role in producing solidarity in a stable workplace environment. For both groups, government-proposed education and training are regarded as very important in their own lives and for the future development of South Africa.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die tekort aan arbeid wat in die plattelandse gebiede van die Vrystaat ondervind word, in teenstelling met die hoë werkloosheidsyfer en behoefte aan werksgeleenthede in dié gebied. Die verdere opleiding van ongeskoolde arbeid is een van Suid-Afrika se grootste maatskaplike probleme. Dié kwessie raak al hoe meer relevant gegewe die groter aanvraag na geskoolde arbeid om aan te pas by tegnologiese vooruitgang en die eise van die inligtingsera. Die Suid-Afrikaanse regering het verskeie inisiatiewe en beleide ingestel om opleidingsgeleenthede en beter vooruitsigte vir voorheen benadeelde groepe daar te stel. As die Suid-Afrikaanse platteland vanuit ’n historiese perspektief beskou word, kan ’n mens skepties staan teenoor die wyse waarop sakeondernemings hierdie beleide sal aanvaar en toepas. Hierbenewens plaas beleide en wetgewing ook geweldige administratiewe druk op ondernemings, wat aanleiding kan gee tot die vermoede dat maatskappye opleiding slegs as ’n ekstra las sou beskou. Die VKB, ’n plaaslike landboukoöperasie in die Vrystaat, bewys egter die teendeel van hierdie aanname. Dit bring hierdie studie tot die punt van ondersoek, waar die ervaring en verwagtings van werknemers ondersoek word om vas te stel watter impak opleiding op individue het. Persoonlike onderhoude met werknemers en die bestuur dui daarop dat opleiding ’n belangrike faktor is wat samehorigheid in ’n stabiele werksomgewing in die hand werk. Albei groepe beskou opleiding en onderrig, soos voorgestel deur die regering, as uiters belangrik in hulle eie lewens en vir die algehele ontwikkeling van Suid-Afrika.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) measurement and volatile fatty acid (VFA) production in the acid-phase anaerobic digestion process under different conditions of temperature and residence time. Two identical anaerobic digesters were operated while VFAs, SCOD, VSS, alkalinity, ORP and pH were measured. In digester 1, VFA production of 5,556 mg/L was generated with an ORP of -315 mv at a 10 day SRT; while 5,400 mg/L of VFA with an ORP of -389 mv was recorded in digester 2. The SRT was adjusted at 5, 8, 10, 12 and 15 days and the optimum SRT was 10 days in both digesters. The results of this study indicate there were no tight relationship between VFA production and ORP values, thus ORP by itself is not a good predictor of the amount of VFAs generated. However, ORP combined with temperature had good linear relationship with VFA production. An ORP range of -315 to -390 mv was desirable for maximizing VFA production in both anaerobic digesters. Different temperatures (14, 29 and 37 ℃) were trialed and the results indicate that the conditions at 29 ℃ and 37 ℃ were not significantly different in terms of VFA production, however, less VFAs were generated at the lowest temperature of 14 ℃.

According to the South African White Paper 5 on Early Childhood Development (ECD), the initiative of the Department of Education (DoE), whereby grade R is being implemented as part of compulsory education, is directed at the poorest of the poor. Grade R teachers responsible for the education of 5/6 year old learners will therefore have to possess knowledge and skills to enable them to lead grade R learners from deprived circumstances to optimal development and learning readiness. For under-or unqualified Foundation Phase teachers who work and live in rural areas, distance learning is often the only option for professional development and concurrent increase in compensation. The School of Continuing Teacher Education of the North-West University designed an open distance learning model to provide in the educational needs of under and unqualified teachers. The Foundation Phase Curriculum within the Professional Educator Development programme of the Advanced Certificate in Education presented by the North West University (hereafter referred to as the NWU Foundation Phase ACE programme) is delivered via open distance learning. The National Curriculum Statements (Grade R-9) include grade R to three in the Foundation Phase Curriculum and therefore the NWU Foundation Phase ACE programme will be a financially viable option to train a large number of grade R teachers to provide in the need for qualified grade R teachers.
This study investigates the way in which the NWU Foundation Phase ACE programme enables grade R teaching competency as programme outcome. To attain the research aims of the study a literature and empirical study were performed. The research aims of the literature study include the establishment of the knowledge, skills and attitudes to be included in a training programme with the aim of capacitating grade R teachers to facilitate the optimal development of five/six year olds from deprived circumstances. The literature is further researched to determine national and international criteria for effective design and content for training programmes for teachers of 5/6 year old learners. Through the literature study the criteria for effective training programmes for grade R teachers are determined and more specific the criteria for the effective implementation of distance learning for the training of grade R teachers. A comparative study between the NWU Foundation Phase ACE programme and similar distance learning programmes implemented internationally also serves as benchmarking for the evaluation of the NWU Foundation Phase ACE programme. Findings from the literature study serves as benchmark for the evaluation of the NWU Foundation Phase ACE programme and for the designing of questionnaires as measurement instruments for the empirical study. The empirical research has as its first aim to determine how the NWU Foundation Phase ACE programme provides grade R teacher-students the opportunity to develop the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to facilitate the optimal development and learning readiness of five/six year olds from deprived circumstances. Secondly the empirical study aims to determine how the design and content of the NWU Foundation Phase ACE programme accommodates the profile and educational needs of the target population namely the teacher who will be responsible for the education of five/six year old learners from deprived circumstances.
Although a combination of both qualitative and quantitative statistical methods is used in the empirical study, this evaluation research is primarily seen as a quantitative study grounded in the post-positivist epistemology. The mixed method serves as verification of findings on the data. Empirical data were captured by means of questionnaires comprising structured and open questions. Data captured through structured questions were statistically analysed Iwhile responses in open questions were interpreted qualitatively by the researcher. Data triangulation serves as verification of findings as the researcher gathered data from three study populations namely the NWU Foundation Phase ACE teacher-students, the facilitators who facilitate the NWU Foundation Phase ACE programme at the various contact centres countrywide as well as lecturers presenting a similar Foundation Phase ACE programme at other tertiary institutions in the country. A comparison of responses from the structured questions and open questions with data from related literature further provides for methodological triangulation and verification of findings.
Data from the literature study as well as from all three study populations in the empirical investigation converged regarding inadequacies in the way the design and content of the NWU Foundation Phase ACE programme enable the development of grade R teaching competencies as outcome. Deficiencies were identified in the way the programme accommodates the situated and personal circumstances of the teacher student. The opportunity provided by programme design and content for an inexperienced grade R teacher-student to develop grade R knowledge and skills through experience learning, social learning and learning through reflection within the grade R teaching and learning context, was also found to be lacking. Recommendations based on the findings are made for consideration of future programme design.Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2010.

O Gerenciamento de Facilidades é considerado por muitos autores como um campo interdisciplinar dedicado a garantir a funcionalidade do ambiente construído através da integração de pessoas, lugar, processos e tecnologia. Para desenvolver um modelo arquitetônico que possa ser usado para lidar com a Gerência Facilidades (GF), é primeiramente necessário estabelecer o papel que ele deve ter nos negócios, como deve executar esses papéis e então verificar se ele atinge esses requisitos. Um ponto crítico no desenvolvimento de um modelo para gerenciar facilidades é a falta de uma arquitetura corporativa; devido a que os sistemas prediais e outros sistemas referentes à infraestrutura foram concebidos sem uma visão de GF; por outro lado, estes sistemas normalmente são compostos por diversas tecnologias heterogêneas às quais para funcionar corretamente, devem satisfazer exigências como desempenho, confiabilidade, portabilidade, escalabilidade e interoperatividade, entre outras. Este trabalho de dissertação propõe utilizar uma arquitetura de objetos distribuídos para otimizar o processo de GF, aplicado em um caso real, especificamente em uma indústria de eletroeletrônicos do Pólo Industrial de Manaus. O objetivo de utilizar a referida arquitetura é para reduzir a sua complexidade através da abstração e separação de requisitos de projeto e, ao mesmo tempo, direcionar os passos que serão tomados pelas tarefas envolvidas. O método proposto para atingir tal objetivo é a identificação do processo de GF, a especificação, onde a informação obtida será classificada em forma de visões utilizando o RM-ODP, e a modelagem, onde se analisa as complexidades, como relacionamentos, dependências e limitações do processo de negócios, objetivando elaborar uma arquitetura que será implementada nos domínios de aplicação do processo de GF.The Facilities Management is considered by many authors as an interdisciplinary field devoted to ensure the functionality of the built environment by integrating people, place, process and technology. To develop an architectural model that can be used to deal with management facilities, it is first necessary to establish the role that it must have in business, how to perform these roles and then see if it achieves these requirements. A critical point in developing a model for managing facilities is the lack of an enterprise architecture, due to the building systems and other systems related to infrastructure were designed without a vision of FM on the other hand, these systems usually consist of several heterogeneous technologies in which to function properly must meet requirements such as performance, reliability, portability, scalability and interoperability, among others. This dissertation work proposes to use distributed object architecture to optimize the process of Facilities Management, applied in a real case, especially in a consumer electronics industry of the Industrial Pole of Manaus. The purpose of using this architecture is to reduce complexity through abstraction and separation of design requirements, while directing the steps to be taken by the tasks involved. The proposed method for achieving this goal is the identification of the FM process, specifying where the information obtained will be sorted in order of views using the RM-ODP, and modeling which analyzes the complexities, such as relationships, dependencies and constraints in the process of business, aiming to develop an architecture that will be implemented in the areas of application of the FM process.

Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The General Elections of 27 April 1994 lead the country to a new democracy which caused changes in the political-, social- and constitutional domain in South Africa. This brought about new winds of change in the Public Sector too. The South African Police Service (SAPS) is also identified as a component of the Public Sector and this lead to an investigation of service delivery standards which are rendered to local communities by the SAPS. The hypothesis is that personal placement in the SAPS can have an effect on the organisation's service delivery standards. Various concepts were investigated and defined. Methodological considerations and research methods were applied as guidelines to the underlying principles, for possible answers to the research problem. A theoretical base was established as foundation of a practical investigation. Recruitment, selection and personnel placement are discussed with various references to current legislation includes aspects such as affirmative action and the implications it could have on service delivery. A final practical investigation included the distribution of questionnaires to police members and members of the public in the policing areas under discussion. The answers were processed where upon recommendations were made for the improvement of service delivery in the SAPS. Research was completed in the East Metropole, Cape Town to establish what effect personal placement could have on service delivery in the South African Police Service. The specific policing area (referring to the Area East Metropole) is used as a practical case study as if appears that currently personal placement within the SAPS could be implemented more effectively in order to enhance service delivery to all communities in the East Metropole. Due to personal shortages within the SAPS, these communities encounter problems such as increases in crime on a daily basis. The research process was encouraged by problems experienced by members of the SAPS and the public. Although the research outcome cannot be ruled as a success or failure, it was an attempt to focus on the effect that crime have on the lives of members of the SAPS and communities within the Area East Metropole.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Algemene Verkiesing op 27 April 1994 het die land gelei na 'n nuwe demokrasie wat tot 'n totale verandering op die politieke-, sosiale- en konstitusionele terrein in Suid-Afrika gevolg het. Dit het die geleentheid geskep vir veelvuldige veranderinge in die Openbare Sektor. Hieronder is die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) ook geïdentifiseer en dit het gelei tot 'n ondersoek in die dienslewering standaarde wat die SAPD aan plaaslike gemeenskappe verskaf. Die hipotese is dat personeelplasing in die SAPD 'n effek kan hê op die organisasie se dienslewering standaard. Verskeie konsepte is ondersoek en gedefinieer. Metodologiese oorwegings en navorsingsmetodes is as riglyne toegepas om 'n moontlike antwoord te vind op die navorsingsprobleem. 'n Teoretiese basis is geskep as fondasie vir 'n praktiese ondersoek. Werwing, keuring en personeelplasing word bespreek met verskeie verwysing na huidige wetgewing op aspekte soos regstellende aksie en die impak wat dit op dienslewering kan hê. 'n Finale praktiese ondersoek het die verspreiding van vraelyste onder polisiebeamptes en lede van plaaslike gemeenskappe in die polisiërings area onder bespreking, ingesluit. Die antwoorde is verwerk, waarna aanbevelings gemaak is tot die verbetering van dienslewering in die SAPO. Navorsing is voltooi in die Area Oos-Metropool, Kaapstad om te bepaal watter effek personeelplasing op dienslewering in die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens kon hê. Hierdie spesifieke polisiëringsgebied (verwysend na die Area Oos-Metropool) word as 'n praktiese gevalle studie aangewend aangesien dit wil voorkom dat personeelplasing in die SAPD tans meer effektief geïmplementeer kan word ten einde dienslewering te verbeter aan alle gemeenskappe in die Oos-Metropool. As gevolg van personeel tekorte binne die SAPD ondervind hierdie gemeenskappe 'n toename in misdaad op 'n daaglikse basis. Die navorsingsproses is aangemoedig deur probleme wat deur lede van die SAPD en publiek ondervind word. Alhoewel die navorsingsuitkoms nie as 'n sukses of mislukking uitgeskakel kan word nie, was dit 'n poging om te fokus op die effek wat misdaad op die lewens van die lede van die SAPD en gemeenskappe in die Area Oos-Metropool het.

Full textAbstract:
L'adénosine monophosphate cyclique (AMPc) est une molécule très largement conservée dans le monde du vivant. Chez les bactéries, cette molécule signal est impliquée, entre autres, dans l'adaptation aux changements de milieu, au développement de la virulence, à la sporulation et la compétence. Bien qu'il fut démontré dans les années 1970 que cette molécule nécessitait un transporteur afin de traverser la membrane cellulaire, l'identité de celui-ci restait jusqu'à très récemment inconnue. Ce n'est qu'en 2011 que Hantke et ses collègues démontrèrent l'implication de la protéine TolC dans l'export de l'AMPc. Au cours de ma thèse, j'ai démontré le rôle prépondérant du complexe Opp dans l'import d'AMPc chez Escherichia coli. Ce complexe, formé des protéines OppABCD et F, est connu pour transporter des oligopeptides et se trouve dans la membrane interne de nombreuses bactéries. Pour arriver à la conclusion de son implication dans le transport d'AMPc, une banque de mutants a été créée dans une souche ne produisant pas d'AMPc (cyaA-). Afin d'identifier le transporteur responsable de l'import de l'AMPc, différents cribles qui testent la présence de cette molécule dans la cellule, ont ensuite été réalisée sur ces clones. Après analyse des résultats obtenus, l'opéron opp a été pressenti comme étant nécessaire à l'entrée de l'AMPc dans la cellule. Le double mutant cyaA-oppA- a été créé et de nouvelles expériences sont venues confirmer notre hypothèse. La protéine OppA a ensuite était surexprimée et purifiée pour nous permettre de faire des tests biochimiques d'interaction entre AMPc et OppA, basés sur la fluorescence émise par la protéine elle-même ou un homologue de l'AMPc, l'ε-AMPc. Ces expériences nous ont permis de confirmer l'interaction entre la protéine OppA et l'AMPc. Le système Opp est donc le principal importateur d'AMPc chez Escherichia coli, mais il ne semble pas être l'unique transporteur impliqué. Un autre candidat très intéressant est le complexe Dpp, connu pour transporter les dipeptides. En effet, les expériences préliminaires effectuées démontrent une diminution de la concentration intracellulaire d'AMPc dans une cellule cyaA-dppA- comparée à celle observée dans une souche cyaA-. Les travaux réalisés pendant ces trois dernières années permettent de conclure que le complexe Opp est le principal importateur d'AMPc, très probablement secondé par le complexe DppCyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a signalling molecule conserved in all reigns of life. In bacteria, cAMP plays an important role in processes as diverse as the adaptation to a changing environment, the control of virulence, sporulation and competence. Although it has been proven in the 1970s that this molecule needs an active transporter to traverse the plasma membrane, the first one of these transporters was discovered only a few years ago. In 2011, Hantke et al have shown that the TolC protein is involved in the efflux of cAMP. During my PhD work I have identified the Opp complex as a major player of cAMP import into Escherichia coli. This complex, composed of proteins called OppABCD and F, is known to transport oligopeptides across the inner membrane of numerous bacterial species. To prove the involvement of the Opp complex in cAMP transport, I have used transposon mutagenesis to generate a collection of random mutants in a strain that does not produce cAMP (cyaA-). Different screens were used to detect mutants with impaired transport of extracellular cAMP into the cell. The opp operon emerged as the most promising candidate from this screen. The double mutant cyaA-oppA- was constructed and experiments designed to test the function of OppA confirmed our hypothesis. Subsequently, I overexpressed and purified OppA in order to perform biochemical experiments destined to measure the physical interaction between cAMP and OppA. I show that the Opp system is the major importer of cAMP in Escherichia coli. However, it seems that Opp is not the unique importer of cAMP. The other, very interesting candidate is the complex Dpp, known to transport dipeptides. Preliminary experiments revealed a decreased amount of cAMP in strain cyaA-dppA- compared to strain cyaA-. The experiments carried out during the last three years allow us to conclude that the Opp complex is the major importer of cAMP into E. coli and that the Dpp complex is probably a secondary transporter

I performed statistical analysis of shipboard physical properties data from the
Ocean Drilling Program to investigate relationships between the physical properties data
and the lithology of deep ocean cores. The use of non-invasive experiments on deep-sea
core samples offers a near real-time view of sediments and requires little user interaction
or interpretation. The speed, density, and accuracy of these experiments make efficient
use of limited space and expensive ship time. The fact that these experiments are noninvasive
also allows for further post-cruise studies.
For the study I chose Leg 162 (July-September 1995 in the North Atlantic) for the
density of data, the experiments performed, the quantity and quality of post-cruise
publications and the influence of different, yet dominant, environments. Combining
similar lithologies across a Leg increased sample size and offered a more statistically
normalized sample. Interpolation of the physical properties data matched the intervals
used for the lithological determinations. Statistical methods included univariate and
multivariate correlation matrices, mean and standard deviations, the significance of the
correlations, and a model equation for each lithology and the Leg as a whole. By looking
at the physical properties, one can estimate the lithology. This research is important because sedimentological and geophysical approaches
can be merged to offer a more accurate, more detailed view of the depositional history of
oceanic cores. Through statistical analysis of geophysical data, the findings duplicate the
findings of the sedimentologists without the painstaking examinations typical of this type
of research. Performing experiments and analysis quickly and accurately with minimal
operator error allows for immediate discussions and results.
Use of this research as a data verification tool provides the ability to distinguish
data acquisition problems and misidentifications. This application has proven invaluable
for allowing a non-sedimentologist quantitative insight into the lithology.

Full textAbstract:
North-West University in South Africa is committed to expanding use of learning technologies
for contact and distance education students by augmenting the existing NWU teaching and
learning policy with an e-learning policy. The School of Continuing Teacher Education at
North-West University is currently training about 24 000 in-service teacher students through
Open Distance Learning. Only a few students submit assignments in typed format and
seldom electronically. Students rarely use electronic technologies to augment their learning,
and the SCTE employs few to support students. This does not comply with the South African
Government’s policy on e-Education that demands information and communication
technology mastery in teacher training.
The aim of this research was integration of learning technologies in open distance learning at
SCTE NWU through recommendations compiled in a sociologically transformative emergent
implementation framework. The researcher followed a concurrent mixed-method
sociologically transformative approach, focussing on the use of technology for social
empowerment to cross the digital divide, through a theoretical lens of ICT for development.
The lived experience in the natural setting of distance education students, lecturers, and
involved stakeholders was used as initial data collection, informed by a continuous literature
study of emergent learning technology use.
Purposeful sampling was used during participant selection. The role of the researcher was
that of participant observer, interviewer, and human instrument, from a position of
methodological pragmatism as a method of inquiry. Using a design-based research
approach, the thesis addresses the main research question through five research papers;
each addressing one of the sub-questions as design-based research cycles, while
collectively addressing the research problem to address the main research question. Nonstandardised
measuring instruments were developed based on themes identified from
literature and the analysis of qualitative data. Significant barriers to population-wide ICT
adoption exist. Strong intentions of perseverance in attaining functional computer literacy
are evident. Support and enablement are required to promote trust to attempt using
computers, necessary to obtain self-confidence through accomplishment. In this way
perseverance to attain functional computer literacy may be cultivated.
The study presents a model for intention to use, confidence, trust and perseverance in
attaining computer literacy competence with statistically significant standardised regression weights. In terms of affective responses of students during computer literacy training, a twodimensional
model for computer literacy learning emotions is presented. Perceptions during
professional development produced a model for faculty development towards socially
transformative learning technology integration for open distance learning. The researcher
also presents a people-technology interaction in teaching and learning model in the fifth
paper. A distinction is made between reactionary interventions and pre-emptive unobtrusive
seamless support, based on requirements identified through bottom-up feedback listening to
latent requests of participants. Technology-enhanced learning integration should be
legitimised through visible commitment from the university as institution. Lecturer training,
innovative planning of time issues, acquisition of appropriate infrastructure, buying in from
the institution and IT support services, and support of teacher-students are all essential for
evolvement towards an e-mature organisation for the delivery of ODL to vast numbers of
newly industrialised context clients.Thesis (PhD (Curriculum Development Innovation and Evaluation))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013
