Medastin, Jean Jacques. "Case Study of Access to Higher Education Through Technology in the Resource-Poor Country of Haiti." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2498.
Full textAbstract:
According to the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (2012-2013), access to higher education is limited in most of the developing countries due to inadequate budgets and lack of schools and teaching staff. The use of educational technology could help bridge the gap, but research has only explored the use of available technologies to enhance learning where higher education is already accessible. The purpose of this case study was to investigate the use of one-to-many videoconferencing as an education access tool for high school seniors seeking higher education in the most devastated areas of Haiti. The theoretical framework for this study is based on Bandura's social learning theory, activity theory, and constructivist epistemology. This study attempts to explore the feasibility of using one-to-many videoconferencing learning to enhance access to education in Haiti. The study also analyzes the experiences of various sets of participants. The data were drawn from 13 interviews involving the school principal, the school's technology expert, 10 students, and one instructor corroborated by hours spent observing the same participants engaged in classroom activities via videoconferencing. The participants were interviewed on their experiences with the new delivery method proposed and utilized in the study. The data from this study suggest that by preserving the features of the familiar classroom model, videoconferencing could be successfully utilized to compensate for the lack of other facilities for higher education. The data was coded and analyzed using the NVivo data analysis software. The study will allow Haitian professionals living outside of the country to affect change in access to higher learning in Haiti.

Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Institutionen för socialt arbete - Socialhögskolan, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-88041.
Full textAbstract:
In this study we explore the present discourses on drugs and drug consumption in Colombia, a country known for its drugs, and foremost its cocaine production. Interviewing and analyzing the statements according to discourse theory made by the professional key actors in the country, the study asserts that three discourses are present in the Colombian context, namely the public health discourse, the deprivation discourse and the pleasure discourse. These discourses, it is demonstrated, view the consumer of psychoactive substances from different perspectives and relate consumption to different causes, consequences and solutions. While the public health discourse is closely connected to viewing the consumer as a sick person, and describes consumption mainly as addiction, the deprivation discourse rather speaks of the consumer as a marginalised person consuming to escape a harsh reality. According to the third perspective, the pleasure discourse, it is focal that the consumption is related to socialising and recreation. In the course of the exploration of this context and its discourses, attention is paid to the fact that the discourses are many times described as being in opposition to one another although the respondents commonly refer to different social classes while describing the consumer and that each discourse this way is related to certain groups in society. This study presents different Colombian perspectives on drug consumption, a so far scarcely researched area in the otherwise so scrutinized drug issue, viewed from a social work perspective.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the institutional choices available to Timor-Leste to manage their natural resource wealth wisely and avoid the resource curse. Timor-Leste is a poor country and its challenge is to use its large per capita resource wealth to alleviate poverty and enable sustainable development. This research examines the Petroleum Fund Law, and other mechanisms to manage petroleum revenue that the Government of Timor-Leste has established. These mechanisms appear to be resilient, but remain untested. Based on field interviews in Timor-Leste, the study offers insights into the opinions of East Timorese and foreign advisers about how Timor-Leste´s petroleum revenue should be managed, and how a poor country can raise the living standards of its people.¶A framework that identifies human and social capital as essential to the quality of institutions is developed in this research, which proposes that the pre-condition of institutions affects the management of natural resource revenue. As a result of history (not its natural resource wealth) Timor-Leste´s productive institutions are weak and destructive institutions, such as corruption, are strong. The preferences of the research participants, identified using semi-structured interviews and multi-criteria decision analysis, revealed that what petroleum revenue is spent on is the most important petroleum revenue management decision. Further, health and education were regarded the highest spending priorities. Petroleum revenue management decisions that may affect Timor-Leste´s economic, social and political independence were also important to participants.¶Timor-Leste´s sustainable development depends on continued assistance in the form of foreign advisers to address its lack of human capital. A commitment to transparency should counteract the lack of trust between government and civil society. Timor-Leste will also need to invest more in people, and recognise that the wise management of its petroleum revenue depends as much on good governance as the mechanisms designed to manage it. The people of Timor-Leste´s fierce determination to overcome the challenges they face, against all odds, may help Timor-Leste to avoid the resource curse.¶

Lesley, Kira Helene. "Making Room for Roses: the 1911 Relocation of the Multnomah County Poor Farm." PDXScholar, 2018. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4355.
Full textAbstract:
From 1868 to 1911, the Multnomah County Poor Farm off Canyon Road in the Tualatin Hills housed indigent and sick residents of Portland and surrounding areas. In 1911, county officials relocated the Poor Farm from the West Hills flanking Portland to the far eastern portion of the county. Subsequently, the site hosted a municipal golf course and is currently home to the Oregon Zoo and Hoyt Arboretum. With no physical presence left, the original Poor Farm was quickly forgotten, and the reasons for its relocation have been obscured by the passage of time. Occasional references to the farm in newspapers and blogs retell the same story, that county authorities relocated the farm after a 1910 visit by charity organizations revealed atrocious living conditions. In reality, the county had begun scouting land for the new farm two years prior to the charity visit and ensuing newspaper exposé.
Conditions at the farm in 1910 may have been bad, but the relocation was not a product of altruism alone. More important was Portland's striving for greatness in the opening of the twentieth century. The early 1900s were heady times for West Coast cities, and as the century opened, Portland was still the largest city in the Northwest and the regional hub for shipping and commerce. A massive development boom, coupled with Progressive-Era reforms around parks and public health, worked to reshape the face of Portland's physical landscape. As the city grew and local boosters sought to promote its image as a prosperous and beautiful metropolis, some leading Portlanders began to see the Poor Farm as a blight on their city. With land becoming more expensive and less available, Portlanders contested who had the right to which parcels and for which purposes. Real estate, public health, and general development fervor combined to make the Poor Farm land seem undeserving of its location. As Portland looked towards its future, Portlanders' desire to create a great city resulted in the displacement of the Poor Farm and its inhabitants to the county's physical and psychological fringes.

Poirier, Phillip A. "Physical and chemical correlates of Sacramento County vernal pool crustaceans." Scholarly Commons, 2012. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/801.
Full textAbstract:
Vernal pools are temporary aquatic habitats that can be home to dozens of 4 invertebrate species. Unfortunately, over 90 percent of California vernal pool habitat has been destroyed. To better understand the remaining habitat, this study focused on the species community structure of the pools, determined similarity among sites, and the pool characteristics important to survival of these organisms. Vernal pools at four distinct sites in the Sacramento Valley during winter 2012 were sampled for crustaceans and water characteristics every 2 weeks for 14 weeks. Twenty-two species of crustaceans were identified, 13 of which are possibly new species. In this dry, late rainfall year, fairy shrimp and copepods were the first species to emerge in large numbers. Ostracods, Cladocera and clam shrimp experienced large populations later in the season. Temperature showed strong correlations with most species and likely affected growth rates and emergence; conductivity, depth, and surface area were also positively correlated with several species abundance. Understanding the emergence and distribution of these crustaceans is necessary to protection of remaining habitat.

Mac, Atasney Gerard. "Poverty, poor law and famine in county Armagh 1838-52." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2003. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.272834.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines provision for the poor in County Armagh in the period from the introduction of the Poor Law to the end of the Famine. It begins by analysing the local reaction to the new measure and its impact on existing charities. It then moves on to the enactment of the law through its most conspicuous elements-the workhouses in Armagh and Newry. These establishments were not long developed when they had to cope with the disaster of the famine and an in-depth analysis of their role throughout this period is offered. In conjunction with such official relief efforts were those of private agencies such as the Society of Friends and the Irish Relief Association. To date, these sources have been little used in famine historiography but their worth is highlighted in this work particularly in evaluating government measures such as the Temporary Relief Act (1847). The latter part of the study examines the consequences of the famine years and their impact on the county. By looking at mortality rates, depopulation, emigration and crime levels the conclusion is offered that there were a series of famine experiences in the county. It emerges as no surprise that those in the industrialised north-east escaped relatively lightly while there was much suffering in the south. However, the main finding is that the most distressed districts were those in the middle and west of the county, areas which had previously been buoyant due to the linen industry but by the mid-1840s had started to suffer the effects of de-industrialisation and the concentration of manufacturing in the north-east.

Full textAbstract:
Petitions of different kinds are emerging as an increasingly used source for studies of early modern Sweden and beyond. Supplications offer historians great opportunities to examine claims coming from people of various backgrounds, and the larger complex of contemporary ideas these arguments were built on. In these documents, petitioners often bring up the issue of poverty. The purpose of the thesis has been to elucidate this language of poverty and the ideas and values behind its invocation, through studying how people described and used it in their communication with the County Administration of Uppsala between 1730 and 1734. The study has shown that statements of poverty were deployed by a large variety of people, but women were more prone to speak about it than men, especially in echelons above the peasantry. Poverty was used in several ways: to denote a subordinate relation in the social hierarchy, as an enhancer of plight or as something which was not deserved as the petitioners had fulfilled the duties expected of them. By calling themselves poor or emphasizing their blameless destitution, supplicants could ask for the County governor’s protection, try to establish themselves as deserving of help or invoke notions of Christian compassion. Behind the statements of poverty lay ideas of hierarchy and reciprocity set out in the Lutheran Table of Duties, which provided a base for the supplicants’ claims for help.

In 1962, historian Michael Harrington published The Other America, the inaugural work in the field of the history of poverty. Part history and part call to action, Harrington argued that the poor have largely remained invisible in American society. He endeavored to make America's poor visible as the first step towards addressing the tragedy of poverty.
Today, 40 million Americans live in poverty, indicating that it is as much a societal issue in need of solution in the twenty-first century as it was in Harrington's time. Although the field is small, a few scholars have taken up Harrington's call and written histories of the poor and poor relief. This work seeks to complicate and expand upon the conclusions reached by these historians by studying poor relief at the local level of one singular community in the rural South.
This research asks how the residents of nineteenth-century Montgomery County, Virginia understood the county's responsibility for providing poor relief, and what underlying values and beliefs informed that understanding. Using local government records and state legislative and administrative records, this research will argue that, largely because the county had not yet industrialized, poor relief in nineteenth-century Montgomery County diverged from national and regional trends in three significant respects.: attitudes towards the poor in Montgomery County tended to remain more benign than national attitudes well into the postbellum era; poor relief in Montgomery County was available to black residents, both before and after the Civil War; and Montgomery County continued to offer outdoor relief well into the postbellum era. An analysis of why poor relief differed to such a degree in a rural, Southern community, as opposed to more urban, Northern, or Midwestern locales, illuminates the effects of economy, geography, and demography on societal conceptions of the poor.Master of Arts
In 2017, the number of Americans living in poverty stood at just under 40 million, or approximately 12% of the total population. For these Americans, daily life presents not only a material struggle, but a psychological battle as well. For in addition to facing the hardships inherent in poverty, they must also contend with societal scorn and condemnation. In modern America, popular culture frequently blames the poor for their own condition, characterizing them as lazy, criminal, or unintelligent. This research explores the historical roots of these negative attitudes towards the poor. Specifically, this research asks how the residents of nineteenth-century Montgomery County, Virginia understood the county’s responsibility for providing poor relief, and what underlying values and beliefs informed that understanding. Using local government records and state legislative and administrative records, this research will argue that, largely because the county had not yet industrialized, poor relief in nineteenth-century Montgomery County diverged from national and regional trends in three significant respects.: attitudes towards the poor in Montgomery County tended to remain more benign than national attitudes well into the postbellum era; poor relief in Montgomery County was available to black residents, both before and after the Civil War; and Montgomery County continued to offer outdoor relief well into the postbellum era.

Gonzalez, de Macias Ma Refugio. "Plankton and physiochemical factors in a vernal pool." Scholarly Commons, 1989. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/2183.
Full textAbstract:
Recently the uniqueness of the vernal pool habitat has been recognized by several groups of biologists. A survey of the literature reveals that interest of botanists, but one notes a lack of information of plankton which are so fundamental in the food web. Therefore, a taxonomic survey of the plankton seems appropriate. In the present study, the abundance of the predominant species of plankton were studied during a seasonal and also diurnal cycle. A possible correlation of this information with some physicochemical factors was also tested. Because of time constraints this study was limited to one pool but hopefully other researchers will extend this work in the future.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines poor travellers who were on the move during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The focus is the County of Devon, with Exeter dealt with only briefly as it was a separate county. It is shown that the travellers, including numbers of Irish in the seventeenth century and foreign-born, particularly in the eighteenth century, were affected by a number of factors, but that the most important influence on their numbers and types was the incidence of wars. Economic factors, such as food supply, were of some importance, but the economy too was influenced by the effects of wars. Legislation also was found to have had less influence than expected. However, the legislation effective from 1700 did have a marked impact on the documentation available. The main sources used for this study are the parochial documents provided by churchwardens’ accounts of payments made to travellers in need and some of those of the parish overseers. These are supplemented by the records of Devon’s County Quarter Sessions. A combination of Devon’s geography, its strong international maritime connections and the influence of wars and their locations combined to affect the chronological and spatial variations in the numbers and types of travellers through the two centuries.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation I find that changes associated with welfare policy, federal devolution, and the global economy constrain service providers and communities, but that local factors in the two counties mediate how organizational actors adapt to these challenges. I use global political economic theory, organizational theory, and theories of inequality to investigate how local actors address poverty in their communities. Specifically, I examine through a comparative case study how government and nonprofit service providers in two North Carolina counties cope with challenges that derive from global and national levels as well as local factors to serve the poor. I rely on extensive interviews, observations, and secondary data. I find that officials in the rural county are severely constrained in their ability to address poverty, due to lower organizational capacity and very limited financial and social resources. The implications of poverty policy for rural and urban areas differ. Not only has inequality within place been exacerbated by recent national and global trends, but inequality between places is aggravated as well. Further, most resources in the urban county are used in ways that reinforce dependence on the low-wage labor market. In both counties services are disciplinary in nature, reflecting the neoliberal environment in which service providers operate. Only in some casesâand only in the urban countyâdo agencies address the marketâs inadequacies and general issues of class, race, and gender inequality. In fact, only when there is high organizational capacity, some autonomy, and significant embeddedness in the community, do I find local leaders who are willing to stop regulating the poor as should-be low-wage workers.

The objective is to offer tools to a decision maker to improve his understanding of the problem and to aid to decision. The thesis is structured around a decision-making process adapted to the Oil and Gas context and three research questions: 1. How to model the sustainable values brought by complex projects in a hostcountry? 2. How to furnish to a company a method to estimate local values brought, taking into account indirect and induced effects? 3. How to aid to select among strategies that impact multiple systems? To answer, we took into account the specificities of local content in the Oil and Gas. We brought metholodologies from industrial engineering and multicriteria decision aid. We propose a modeling of the value-added brought to a host country. This allows us to introduce an estimation methodology for the impacts of a strategy. Finally, we suggest a procedure for making recommendations to a decision maker

Full textAbstract:
This Study was conducted in Yei River County, Central Equatoria State the Republic of South Sudan from July-December/2012 under the topic: Examining the role of Local Government County Legislative Council in promoting service delivery. The Legislative Council in Yei was established since 2007 inaccordance with the provisions of the Transition Constitution of the Republic of South Sudan, 2011:166, LG Act, 2009:8-29 and Governors’ Decree dated 25/August/2007 with the mandate to enact laws and policies and supervise the Executive to implement its decisions. The study investigated into why there was under performance of Legislative Council in promoting service delivery in Yei River County (YRC) and how can service delivery be improved in YRC. The findings revealed that, the capacity of the Council is low in making appropriate decisions and supervising the Executive to implement its decisions, it lacks the necessary working requirements to facilitate its duties, some of its directives are not implemented by the Executive and negative attitudes towards the work of the Council by some members of the Executive. Despite the difficulties encountered, the Council was able to enact 31 laws, conducted some joint consultative meetings on County projects and the study recommended that, the relevant institutions of Local Government to review the irregularities in the Local Government Act of 2009 to regulate the duties of the Council and to guide the recruitment of the future Councillors, training of the Councillors to improve performance, improve the working conditions of the Council, conduct public awareness on the role of the Council and promotion of exchange programs for further learning purposes. The significance of this study is that, the topic was good according to the participants, the recommendations of the study may be adopted by the Local Government Authorities to address the identified gaps and challenges facing the Council not only in Yei River County but also in other parts of the Country and finally, the report may be used by the University of Fort Hare for further Academic purposes and/or other interested individuals/institutions or organizations of the same or similar objectives.

Full textAbstract:
The natural reefs of the world are experiencing higher use and pressures, resulting in anthropogenic impacts that are deteriorating many coral stands and creating poor water quality. The Florida Keys rely primarily on the reef system that surrounds the archipelago for their socioeconomic health and successful future. The Florida Keys shares the symbiotic relationship of the terrestrial and marine realms with many other states and countries and the experience of higher demand on the resource. Artificial reefs could provide a substitute to the natural reefs for commercial and recreational users. An increased demand for derelict vessels of the U.S. Navy and Maritime Administration has illustrated the popularity of their use as artificial reefs.Local decision-makers do not have the experience to apply to an artificial reef proposal and many rely on existing anecdotal data and "expert" testimony. A lack of evaluation criteria adds to the difficulties of determining if an artificial reef proposal is appropriate for their community. With little empirical data available in the literature and a lack of comprehensive pre and post deployment data completed, how does the decision-maker decide? This study seeks to determine if a method exists that provides criteria and best practices for evaluation of artificial reef projects. Although the study's focus is on artificial reefs, this matrix could be modified to apply to any project where similar dynamics apply. The matrix uses a disaggregate method modeled after the Goeller scorecard. The model provides a best practice's matrix developed through a meta-analysis of three existing artificial reef projects, a comprehensive literature review, and interviews with three decision-makers at different levels of participation. The matrix applies identified best practices and provides a scoring method that can assist the decision-making process. This study acknowledges the limitations of a research project such as this and realizes that many decisions in a political realm have variables not covered in a study of this scope. However, an identified lack of decision-making continuity demonstrates the need for such a study and the research provided within this study is an important first step.

Full textAbstract:
The engagement of landed elite women with dance music in the early nineteenth century and the contribution that such music made to the formation of female identity has received limited scholarly attention. While research on social dance has brought to life the cultural complexities of the ballroom, and investigations into the influence of dance on principally canonical repertoire have enriched our understanding of the intersections that occurred between music and dance, the actual collection and domestic performance of dance music itself has largely lain forgotten. The English country house provides a locus through which elite women’s participation in dance and domestic music-making can be conceptualised and reconstructed. Tatton Park, the Cheshire estate of the Egerton family, contains a significant body of music ranging across several generations of women. The dance music belonging to Elizabeth Egerton (1777-1853), her daughter-inlaw, Lady Charlotte Egerton (1811-1878), and Elizabeth’s daughter, Charlotte Egerton (1824-1845), provides the basis for a series of case studies that examine links between the music they collected and the social dance activities with which they were engaged. The conception of elite women’s participation in dance as expressed by contemporary authors, and the performance of dance in other country houses as documented in newspaper and archival sources, proffer a framework through which the case studies can be interpreted and thus how concepts of elite femininity were negotiated through dance music. This study forms part of a burgeoning scholarly interest in domestic music-making in the English country house and complements two recent theses on the Tatton Park collection. What emerges is a sense of the myriad ways in which early nineteenth-century dance music was embedded in the fabric of cultural life for elite women, and how it both affirmed and negated contemporary discourses on appropriate feminine comportment.

Na área da saúde, várias abordagens nos últimos anos têm sido propostas baseadas nos gráficos de controle CUSUM para a detecção de epidemias infecciosas em que a caraterística a ser monitorada é uma série temporal de dados de contagem, como o número de internações. Neste trabalho foram implementados os modelos lineares generalizados (MLG) no monitoramento, por meio dos gráficos CUSUM e Shewhart, da série do número diário de internações por causas respiratórias para pessoas com 65 anos ou mais residentes no município de São Paulo. Por meio de simulações, avaliaram-se a eficiência de cinco estatísticas diferentes para detectar mudanças na média em séries de contagem. Uma das abordagens consistiu na implementação de três transformações normalizadoras simples que dependem unicamente dos parâmetros das distribuições Poisson e binomial negativa: a transformação Rossi para dados com distribuição Poisson, a transformação Jorgensen para dados com distribuição binomial negativa e os sesíduos de Anscombe para modelos lineares generalizados. As duas últimas estatísticas já foram propostas como gráficos CUSUM: o Método Rogerson e Yamada (2004) é apresentado para dados com distribuição Poisson e neste trabalho foi proposto um novo parâmetro kt para dados binomial negativa; já o método proposto por Hohle (2007) é baseado na função de verossimilhança da distribuição binomial negativa. Utilizando limites de controle para obter um valor ARL0 = 500 sob normalidade, monitorou-se via simulação a série de interesse, implementando as transformações normalizadoras. Entretanto, utilizando-se esses limiares observa-se um maior número de alarmes falsos para as três estatísticas. Modificando o parâmetro k do gráfico CUSUM permitindo que variasse ao longo do tempo a série foi monitorada e foram obtidos valores ARL0 próximos a 500. Os gráficos CUSUM baseados no método Rogerson e Yamada e na estatística da razão de verossimilhanças para dados com distribuição binomial negativa mostraram, via simulação, bons resultados para detectar mudanças na média. As suposições de normalidade e independência das estatísticas normalizadoras, em geral omitidas em trabalhos publicados na literatura, foram avaliadas e comprova-se que as transformações não normalizam os dados, porém são independentes e estacionárias. Analisando os dados reais, as estatísticas apresentaram autocorrelação significativa no lag 7. Devido à persistência desta autocorrelação, foi proposta uma abordagem baseada no ajuste do modelo GARMA.In public health several approaches have been proposed for the detection of outbreaks of infectious diseases where the characteristic being monitored is a time series of count data as the number of hospitalizations, where the population and the expected rate of admissions change over time. In this work we fitted generalized linear models (GLM) and implemented Shewhart and CUSUM control charts for monitoring the daily number of hospital admissions due to respiratory diseases for people aged 65 and older in the city of São Paulo. Through simulations, we evaluated the efficiency of implementing five different statistical for detecting changes in time series of count. One approach consisted of applying three transformations that only depend on the parameters of the negative binomial and Poisson distributions: The transformations of Rossi for data with Poisson distribution, the transformation proposed by Jorgensen for data with negative binomial distribution and residuals proposed by Anscombe for generalized linear models. The other statistics have been proposed as CUSUM charts: the method of Rogerson e Yamada (2004) was presented for data with Poisson distribution, in this work we proposed a new parameter kt for negative binomial distribution, the proposed method for Hohle (2007) uses the likelihood ratio statistic. Implementing limit control assuming normality for a value of ARL0 = 500 be monitored via simulation the serie of interest implementing the normalizing statistics. However, using these limits was observed a greater number of alarms for the three transformations. Modifying the parameter k of the CUSUM chart to this change over time the series was monitored and were obtained values of ARL0 close to 500. The CUSUM control charts for the methods of Rogerson and Yamada and Holhe for data with negative binomial distribution showed, by simulation, good results for detecting changes in the mean. For negative binomial distribution generalizing the method of Rogerson e Yamada (2004) and implemented the CUSUM charts using the likelihood ratio statistic. Both methods provided good results via simulation to detect small changes in average. The evaluation of assumptions of normality for the statistics proposed by Rossi, Jorgensen and Anscombe generally is omitted in published studies. In this work, we evaluated this assumptions indicating that the statistics are not normal using the real dataset but are independent and stationary. By analyzing real data, due to the persistence of correlation for the normalized statistics, an approach based on setting GARMA model was proposed. This method showed good results once the residuals of the fitted model were normal and independent.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on two extreme weather years in 1867-1868 that led to crop failure and subsistence crisis in parts of Sweden. Specifically it focus on Gävleborgs County and one parish, Hanebo Parish, in south west Hälsingland. The study presents contemporary examples from original sources on the national, regional and local level and one secondary source. With a qualitative approach, the study investigates the social impacts of sudden extreme weather and following harvest failure and assess signs of a possible subsistence crisis on regional and local level in the years of 1867-68. The empirics are analyzed trough demographic methodology often used to evaluate ”famine-like” situations, theories on famine and its causes and the three concepts: vulnerability, resilience and exchange entitlement. The result of the study shows a subsistence crisis in Gävleborg county and Hanebo Parish, in the years of 1867-68. These indications included poor harvest, demographic impact on parochial level and visible mitigating strategies for coping with the situation. Social hierarchies which are making impact on attitudes within the contemporary context of crisis are also discovered in the empiric material. The study also shows that state incentives and publically organised incentives can mitigate disaster both over short and long term.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the situation of the physically disabled poor over the period c. 1830-1890. It concentrates initially on the treatment of these individuals under the Poor Law and then proceeds to examine voluntary provision, focusing in particular on the special schools that were established at this time. Although a national (English) perspective is adopted for an analysis of the Poor Law, the impact of special education is examined in the form of a Yorkshire regional case study. The 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act created a distinct administrative category encompassing the blind and deaf. This differentiation between groups of those hitherto classed as the `impotent' poor was to have important consequences for all sectors of the disabled population. Whereas increasing numbers of blind and deaf children were gradually removed into the care of the voluntary institutions, other `non-able-bodied' persons found themselves under the auspices of a deliberately harsh state system. Schools operating within the voluntary sector soon began to extend and diversify the benefits they could offer. They fostered a sense of community and perhaps even a distinctive identity amongst their pupils. In the longer term they helped to alter public attitudes towards blind and deaf people. Schools encouraged the development of professional expertise and their staff served as advocates and campaigners on behalf of their pupils. The growing availability of special education operated as a counterweight to economic and social exclusion. The absence of comprehensive specialist provision meant that the situation of other physically disabled people was often grim. Such individuals tended to merge into the mass of the poor and details about their condition can be hard to distinguish from other groups who comprised the `residuum' of Victorian society. The impact of changing attitudes to poverty and the role of the state, particularly in the areas of child education and health, are further examined.

lt;p align="justify"gt; A água tem influência direta sobre a saúde, a qualidade de vida e o desenvolvimento do ser humano. Cerca de um quarto dos 4,8 bilhões de pessoas dos países em desenvolvimento não possuem acesso a fontes de água adequadas. Carvalho (1983), Silva e Araújo (2003), e outros, citam percentuais de contaminação por coliformes totais e fecais em água de cisterna que chegam a 91%. O presente estudo teve como objetivo, avaliar a eficiência do clorador simplificado por difusão na desinfecção da água utilizada para consumo humano, e para isso, fez-se análise microbiológica da água de 30 residências, correspondendo a 48% das existentes na bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão do Laje, em Caratinga, MG localizadas à jusante do distrito de Santa Luzia, que utilizam água sem tratamento, captada de cisterna ou diretamente de nascente. Constatou-se que 90% das amostras analisadas estavam contaminadas com coliformes totais. Observou-se que a totalidade das amostras de água captadas de nascente estavam contaminadas por coliformes totais. Nenhuma captação de nascente está satisfatoriamente protegida. Quanto às cisternas, somente 28,6% possuem revestimento, 59% não possui tampa adequada, em 33% ocorre entrada de água de enxurrada no interior da cisterna, 43% estão distante de cursos dágua, e a média de distância das que estão próximas é de 12 metros, o que mostrou ser o mais provável fator de contaminação da água. Constatou-se que 70% dos entrevistados desconhecem normas básicas de construção e manutenção de cisternas. Segundo a percepção dos moradores entrevistados cuja escolaridade média de 3,2 anos de estudo, todos classificam a água consumida como sendo excelente ou boa, mas, contraditoriamente, 77% acreditam haver microorganismos patogênicos na água que consomem. Em 47% das residências pesquisadas não havia filtro doméstico para água. Implantou-se o clorador em 10 cisternas que apresentaram contaminação por coliformes, e observou-se que em três análises microbiológicas subseqüentes (10, 20 e 33 dias após implantação), não houve detecção de coliformes totais e fecais nas amostras. O teor de cloro ativo liberado pelo clorador ficou sempre abaixo de 0,2 mg L-1, e mesmos com teores menores que 0,1 mg L-1 não houve detecção de coliformes. Segundo a percepção dos moradores entrevistados, o clorador não interfere significativamente no paladar e cheiro da água, o que não desestimula seu uso. Concluiu-se neste estudo, que o clorador simplificado por difusão é um método eficiente, simples, de baixo custo, e que deve ter sua utilização estimulada junto à população que não tem acesso à água tratada, aspecto que em muito contribuirá para que se reduzam os riscos de transmissão de doenças de veiculação hídrica.lt;/pgt;lt;p align="justify"gt; The present study it has as objective, to evaluate the efficiency of the clorador simplified for diffusion in the disinfection of the water used for human consumption, and for this, microbiological analysis of the water of 30 residences became, corresponding 48% of the existing residences in the hidrográfica basin of the Ribeirão do Laje, in Caratinga MG located to the ebb tide of the district of Luzia Saint, that use water without treatment, caught of watering hole or spring. One evidenced that 90% of the analyzed samples were contaminated with total coliformes. It was observed that the totality of spring the caught water samples was contaminated by total coliformes. No apitation of spring satisfactorily is protected.

According to perception of the interviewed inhabitants whose average escolaridade of 3,2 years of study, 100% classifies the consumed water as being excellent or good, but, contraditoriamente, 77% believe to have pathogenic microorganisms in the water that consume. In 47% of the searched residences it did not have domestic filter for water. The clorador in 10 watering holes was implanted that had presented contamination for coliformes, observed it that in three subsequent microbiological analyses (10, 20 and 33 days after implantation), did not have detention of total and fecais coliformes in the samples. The set free active chlorine text for the clorador was always below of 0,2 mg L-1, and same with 0,1 lesser texts that mg L-1 did not have detention of coliformes. According to perception of the interviewed inhabitants, the clorador does not intervene significantly with the palate and smells of the water, what it does not discourage its use. It was concluded in this study, that the clorador simplified for diffusion is an efficient, simple method, of low cost, and that it must have its use stimulated together to the population that does not have access to the treated water, aspect that in very will contribute so that the risks of transmission of illnesses of hídrica propagation are scrumbled.lt;/pgt;

O presente trabalho versa sobre a persistência de formas contemporâneas de escravidão, praticada contra trabalhadores rurais do Brasil, mais precisamente do Norte do país. Neste sentido, abordaremos o fato de que a escravidão no Brasil teria sido apenas formalmente abolida, pois ela ainda ela ainda é presença constante neste país. Com isto, será trazido ao debate uma forma específica de escravidão muito utilizada em nosso país, qual seja, a escravidão por dívida do trabalhador rural, mostrando suas peculiaridades, quem são os envolvidos, e quais são os fatores que contribuem para que a escravidão seja uma chaga aberta em nosso país. Também será abordado, o fato de que erradicar o trabalho escravo, é uma necessidade de todas as nações, tendo em vista que escravidão é uma das mais graves violações aos direitos humanos, eis que não retira do ser humano apenas a sua liberdade, mas também a sua dignidade. Desta forma, erradicar o trabalho escravo tornou-se prioridade nacional, pois só podemos falar em Estado Dem

Full textAbstract:
Le LOAC est un compteur d’aérosols optique qui permet de compter les particules atmosphériques de 0.2 à 100µ m et de les classer par gamme de taille. Pour cela, cet instrument est constitué d’un laser qui illumine une chambre dans laquelle sont injectés les particules par pompage. La lumière diffusée par chacune d’elle est alors mesurée selon deux angles ce qui permet d’évaluer la nature (gouttelettes, sels, suies, ,..). Fabriqué à plus de 150 exemplaires, ce capteur permet de documenter les couches de l’atmosphère à l’aide de ballons dans toutes les régions du globe depuis 2011. L’objectif de cette thèse consiste à détailler le fonctionnement de tous les sous-systèmes de l’instrument et d’en proposer une version aux performances améliorées pour l’exploration des atmosphères planétaires. En guise d’introduction, ce mémoire présente l’intérêt scientifique du LOAC pour l’exploration spatiale et rappel la logique de développement et les atouts de cet appareil en regard des nombreux autres dispositifs destinés à caractériser les aérosols. Dans une seconde partie le dimensionnement détaillé d’une version d’ingénierie est proposé dans le but d’introduire de nouvelles fonctionnalités indispensables à tout instrument spatial. Enfin, la dernière partie de ce document s’attache au design d’une version plus performante intégrant de nouveaux concepts tant sur le plan matériel que logicielLOAC is an optical aerosol counter which allows atmospheric particles from 0.2 to 100µ m to be counted and classified by size range. This instrument consists of a laser which illuminates a chamber where the particles are injected by pumping. The light scattered by each of them is then measured from two angles, which makes it possible to assess the nature of the aerosols (liquid, salts, soot, etc.). Manufactured in more than 150 copies, this sensor has been used to document the layers of the atmosphere using balloons in all regions of the world since 2011. The objective of this thesis is to detail how works the different subsystems of the instrument and to propose a performance improved version for the planetary atmospheres’ exploration. In the introduction, this thesis presents the scientific interest of LOAC for space exploration and recalls the logic of development and the advantages of this device compared to the many other devices intended to characterize aerosols. In a second part, the detailed sizing of an engineering version is proposed in order to introduce new functionalities essential to any space instrument. Finally, the last part of this document focuses on the design of a more efficient version incorporating new concepts on both the hardware and software levels

De la misma forma, el objetivo principal de esta investigación es establecer la relación que existe entre los factores macroeconómicos con la internacionalización de las tiendas por departamento en el mercado peruano durante el periodo 2009 al 2017. Además, se empleó una investigación cuantitativa, de alcance correlacional, diseño longitudinal no experimental de tendencia. También, se usó la técnica estadística no paramétrica bajo el análisis correlacional de Rho Spearman.
Mediante el uso de la herramienta estadística informática SPSS se comprobó que si existe correlación entre los factores macroeconómicos y la internacionalización de las tiendas por departamento Saga Falabella, Ripley y Almacenes Paris en el mercado peruano. Para el caso de Saga Falabella, el índice de competitividad es el que presenta mayor incidencia en la internacionalización de la misma en el Perú durante los años 2009 y 2017. En cuanto a Tiendas por departamento Ripley, el PBI es el indicador que se correlaciona con mayor significancia. Sin embargo, es importante mencionar que, debido a la poca información disponible para Almacenes París, se decidió desarrollar un análisis descriptivo evolutivo a través de gráficos donde se visualizó que los indicadores macroeconómicos que se correlacionan con la internacionalización de la empresa durante los años 2013 y 2017 fueron la competitividad, el riesgo país y el ranking Doing Business publicado por el Banco Mundial.The present work of professional sufficiency studies the sector of the department stores in the Peruvian market during the years 2009 and 2017. In addition, it is explained which were the strategies and income forms of the main foreign department stores and the theories that are behind their incursion.In the same way, the main objective of this research is to establish the relationship that exists between macroeconomic factors with the internationalization of department stores in the Peruvian market during the period 2009 to 2017.Also, the type of research used was quantitative, correlational, non-experimental longitudinal trend design. The statistical technique used was correlational analysis of Rho Spearman. Using the statistical tool SPSS, it is verified whether there is a correlation between macroeconomic factors and the internationalization of department stores Saga Falabella, Ripley and Almacenes París in the Peruvian market. In the case of the Saga Falabella, the competency index is the most important presentation in the internationalization of the same in Peru during the years 2009 and 2017. As for Department Stores Ripley, the GDP is the indicator that correlates with greater significance. However, it is important to mention that, due to the little information available for Almacenes París, an evolutive descriptive analysis can be developed through the graphs showing the macroeconomic indicators that correlate with the internationalization of the company during the years 2013 and 2017. And the results were competitiveness, country risk and ranking Doing Business publishes by the World Bank.

Full textAbstract:
L’Onera développe des capteurs inertiels MEMS vibrants avec des performances qui peuvent intéresser des applications spatiales. Les électroniques analogiques traditionnellement associées ne sont à priori pas limitantes par rapport aux performances physiques des capteurs. En revanche, elles se montrent encombrantes, non reconfigurables, et ne délivrent pas les grandeurs mesurées sous forme numérique à l’ordinateur de bord. En outre,dans le cadre d’une utilisation spatiale, elles sont sujettes à dépendance et à obsolescence :le remplacement d’un composant implique une nouvelle qualification.Cette thèse propose une nouvelle architecture numérique générique, limitant au maximum les composants analogiques nécessaires. Les travaux portent principalement sur deux capteurs développés par l’Onera : l’accéléromètre à lame vibrante VIA et le gyromètre vibrant à effet Coriolis VIG, mais sont justement transposables à d’autres familles. Une première fonction clé identifiée est la datation d’évènements pour la mesure de fréquence et de phase, une seconde concerne la synthèse numérique directe de fréquence pour le pilotage de résonateurs, et une troisième traite la génération de signaux sinusoïdaux purs à partir des trains binaires délivrés par le système numérique. Ces fonctions sont réalisées sous forme de périphériques numériques autour d’un processeur embarqué, le tout synthétisé sur composant programmable FPGA. Le manuscrit débute par un rappel des lois physiques et des technologies de mesure inertielle, suivi d’une revue des oscillateurs, analogiques et numériques, afin de déterminer l’architecture numérique souhaitée. Le chapitre suivant aborde de façon théorique les fonctions numériques envisagées, et en détermine les éléments de performance. La mise en oeuvre de ces fonctions et les premiers résultats expérimentaux sont ensuite présentés d’abord au niveau de la fonction seule, et enfin dans une architecture complète incluant le capteur et le logiciel embarqué, pour fournir de vraies mesures inertielles. Ces résultats encouragent le déploiement d’électronique numérique dans les prochaines générations de capteursOnera has been developing vibrating inertial MEMS sensors with performances good enough for space uses. Associated conventional analog electronics are not limiting the physical performances of the sensors. They are, however, bulky, not reconfigurable, and do not deliver digital measurements to the on-board computer. Furthermore, when used for space applications, they have to cope with dependency and obsolescence requiring a new qualification when any part is changed.This thesis offers a new digital generic architecture with as few analog parts as possible. Work has been focused on two sensors developed by Onera: the VIA, a vibrating beam accelerometer, and the VIG, a Coriolis vibrating gyro, but can address other sensors. A first digital function identified is event timestamping for frequency and phase measurements; a second key function is the direct digital synthesis of the oscillating sensors driving signal; the third one generates pure sine signals from binary sequences output from the digital platform. These function are implemented as peripherals of an embedded processor on a FPGA.This dissertation firstly reminds physical laws and technologies of inertial measurements, followed by a quick review of oscillators, analog and digital, in order to introduce the chosen digital architecture. A following chapter studies the theory of the digital functions considered and identifies their performances. Afterwards, realisations and first experimental results are exposed, at a function level first, at a global level then, with the sensor and the embedded software to provide real inertial readings. The results gathered boost the idea of deploying digital electronics in future sensor releases

Full textAbstract:
L'esca de la vigne fait partie des maladies de dépérissement incurables dont l'étiologie n'est pas complément élucidée. Elle représente un des problèmes majeurs en viticulture. L'objectif général de cette thèse est d'améliorer la compréhension des processus épidémiques et des facteurs de risque. Pour ce faire, nous avons mené une étude quantitative du développement spatio-temporel de l'esca à l'échelle de la parcelle. Dans un premier temps, pour détecter d'éventuelles corrélations spatiales entre les cas de maladie, des tests statistiques non paramétriques sont appliqués aux données spatio-temporelles d'expression foliaires de l'esca pour 15 parcelles du bordelais. Une diversité de profils spatiaux, allant d'une distribution aléatoire à fortement structurée est trouvée. Dans le cas de structures très agrégées, les tests n'ont pas montré d'augmentation significative de la taille des foyers, ni de propagation secondaire locale à partir de ceps symptomatiques, suggérant un effet de l'environnement dans l'explication de cette agrégation. Dans le but de modéliser l'occurrence des symptômes foliaires, nous avons développé des modèles logistiques hiérarchiques intégrant à la fois des covariables exogènes liées à l'environnement et des covariables de voisinage de ceps déjà malades mais aussi un processus latent pour l'auto-corrélation spatio-temporelle. Les inférences bayésiennes sont réalisées en utilisant la méthode INLA (Inverse Nested Laplace Approximation). Les résultats permettent de conforter l'hypothèse du rôle significatif des facteurs environnementaux dans l'augmentation du risque d'occurrence des symptômes. L'effet de propagation de l'esca à petite échelle à partir de ceps déjà atteints situés sur le rang ou hors rang n'est pas montré. Un modèle autologistique de régression, deux fois centré, qui prend en compte de façon plus explicite la structure spatio-temporelle de voisinage, est également développé. Enfin, une méthode géostatistique d'interpolation de données de nature anisotropique atypique est proposée. Elle permet d'interpoler la variable auxiliaire de résistivité électrique du sol pour estimer à l'échelle de chaque plante de la parcelle, la réserve en eau du sol disponible pour la vigne. Les méthodes géostatistique et spatio-temporelles développées dans cette thèse ouvrent des perspectives pour identifier les facteurs de risques et prédire le développement de l'esca de la vigne dans des contextes agronomiques variésEsca grapevine disease is one of the incurable dieback disease with the etiology not completely elucidated. It represents one of the major threats for viticulture around the world. To better understand the underlying process of esca spread and the risk factors of this disease, we carried out quantitative analyses of the spatio-temporal development of esca at vineyard scale. In order to detect the spatial correlation among the diseased vines, the non-parametric statistical tests were applied to the spatio-temporal data of esca foliar symptom expression for 15 vineyards in Bordeaux region. Among vineyards, a large range of spatial patterns, from random to strongly structured, were found. In the vineyards with strongly aggregated patterns, no significant increase in the size of cluster and local spread from symptomatic vines was shown, suggesting an effect of the environment in the explanation of this aggregation. To model the foliar symptom occurrence, we developed hierarchical logistic regression models by integrating exogenous covariates, covariates of neighboring symptomatic vines already diseased, and also a latent process with spatio-temporal auto-correlation. The Bayesian inferences of these models were performed by INLA (Inverse Nested Laplace Approximation) approach. The results confirmed the effect of environmental factors on the occurrence risk of esca symptom. The secondary locally spread of esca from symptomatic vines located on the same row or out of row was not shown. A two-step centered auto-logistic regression model, which explicitly integrated the spatio-temporal neighboring structure, was also developed. At last, a geostatistical method was proposed to interpolate data with a particular anisotropic structure. It allowed interpolating the ancillary variable, electrical resistivity of soil, which were used to estimate the available soil water content at vine-scale. These geostatistical methods and spatio-temporal statistical methods developed in this thesis offered outlook to identify risk factors, and thereafter to predict the development of esca grapevine disease in different agronomical contexts

Search the library catalog for the location and call number.There is an uneasy relationship between the buildings of public social welfare institutions and historic preservation because of the stigma associated with those persons housed there and the unpleasant social history they can represent. These and other issues present preservation challenges unique to public social welfare institutions. Using the Oregon State Hospital and the Multnomah County Poor Farm as case studies, this thesis explores the history of these two sites within a national context of the development of state psychiatric hospitals and county poor farms. Using case study methodology, the recent experiences with historic preservation policy and practice at the two sites will be used to demonstrate typical challenges at such stigmatized sites and offer recommendations for preserving them in Oregon.

Em 1909, no palco do Teatro de Arte de Moscou, o afamado diretor russo Konstantin Stanislávski realiza a montagem da peça de Ivan Turguêniev Um mês no campo. Além de ser uma brilhante interpretação de obra clássica da literatura russa de um autor pouco difundido nesse país, o espetáculo marca o início da elaboração dos primeiros elementos do sistema Stanislávski, que definiria novas possibilidades para a arte do ator, momento decisivo na sua trajetória teatral. Esta dissertação apresenta o processo de montagem do espetáculo, reflete os primeiros germes do sistema Stanislávski e analisa as abordagens interpretativas do encenador na poética dramática da peça Um mês no campo.In 1909, on the stage of Moscow Art Theatre, the acclaimed Russian director Konstantin Stanislavsky staged Ivan Turgenev s play, A Month in the Country. This performance was a decisive moment in his theatrical trajectory. Besides being a brilliant interpretation of a classic work of the Russian literature written by an author not widely known in this country, it was the starting point of development of the first elements of Stanislavskys \"system\", which would define new possibilities for the art of the actor. This dissertation presents the creation process of the spectacle, reflects on the first seeds of Stanislavskys \"system\" and analyses the directors interpretive approaches to the poetic drama of A Month in the Country.

Full textAbstract:
En 1930, la France créa le Territoire autonome de l’Inini, colonie d’administration directe de l’hinterland de la Guyane française. Après la départementalisation de la Guyane, ce dispositif perdura en 1951 sous la forme d’un arrondissement à statut particulier, en droit jusqu’en 1961 et de fait jusqu’en 1969. La description de ce système politico-administratif, fortement inspiré de celui conçu pour les colonies d’Afrique, permet d’analyser l’ultime étape du processus d’expansion de l’État français dans un espace social et culturel amazonien. Cette intégration fut l’œuvre des fonctionnaires de terrain qui menèrent, à partir de 1936, une politique continue de contact dans le cadre d’une implantation dynamique de postes administratifs en direction de l’intérieur et des frontières. Ce personnel subalterne, fonctionnaires coloniaux et gendarmes, mit en œuvre une technique administrative d’approche et de gestion des populations - déportés indochinois des Etablissements Pénitentiaires Spéciaux, tribus de frontière et orpailleurs - dans un espace ouvert aux politiques des Etats voisins. L’histoire de l’Inini incite à ne pas limiter l’histoire de la Guyane française à celle d’une vieille colonie devenue un D.O.M. en 1946. Elle permet de dépasser cette analyse qui relève du discours politique assimilationniste. Elle nuance aussi l’interprétation par l’anthropologie d’une intégration de populations sylvicoles artificiellement et hâtivement conduite. Enfin, elle ouvre la voie à une analyse comparative de l’arrière-pays des GuyanesIn 1930, France established the Autonomous Territory of Inini, an administrative division governing French Guiana's hinterland. Once Guiana had become an overseas department, the formula was renewed from 1951 in the shape of a district with special status, remaining so officially until 1961 and in effect until 1969. Discussing this politico-administrative system - largely based on what had been worked out for French colonies in Africa – gives a key to understanding the ultimate stage of the French state's expansion process in a social and cultural Amazonian context. That effort at social integration was the work of civil servants in the field who, from 1936 on, conducted a sustained policy of contact by establishing administrative posts in the interior of the territory and at its borders. These low-ranking colonial officers and gendarmes implemented an administrative approach to the handling of various communities – deportees from Southeast Asia held in special jails, border tribes or gold-diggers – across areas under the political influence of neighbouring states. The Inini file is an encouragement not to limit the history of French Guiana to that of an old colony turned into an overseas department (D.O.M.) in 1946. It makes it possible to go beyond analyses which are linked to assimilation policies. It also tends to moderate the anthropological view of an artificial and hasty integration of forest tribes. Lastly, it paves the way for a comparative analysis of Guyanese back countries
A França criou, em 1930, o Território autónomo do Inini, colónia de administração directa dahinterlândia da Guiana francesa. Após a départementalisação da Guiana, este dispositivocontinuou em 1951 sob a forma de distrito à estatuto específico (particular), juridicamente até1961 e de facto até 1969. A descrição deste sistema politicoadministrativo, fortementeinspirado de estas concebidas para as colónias da África, permite analisar a ultima etapa doprocesso de expansão do Estado francês num espaço social e cultural amazónico. Estaintegração foi a obra dos funcionários de terreno que levaram, a partir de 1936, uma políticacontínua de contato no âmbito de uma implantação dinâmica de postos administrativos emdireção do interior e das fronteiras. Este pessoal subalterno, funcionários coloniais egendarmes, implementou uma técnica administrativa de abordagem e gestão das populações -déportados indochineses dos Estabelecimentos Penitenciários Especiais, tribos de fronteira egarimpeiros - num espaço aberto às políticas dos Estados vizinhos. A história do Inini incita anão limitar a história da Guiana francesa à essa de uma velha colónia que tornou-se, em 1946,em Departamento de Ultramar (D.O.M.). Permite ultrapassar esta análise que diz respeito aodiscurso político assimilacionista. Ela nuança também a interpretação pela antropologia deuma integração de populações silvícolas artificialmente e apressadamente conduzida. Porúltimo, abre o caminho à uma análise comparativa do interior (da hinterlândia) das Guianes
In 1930 werd door Frankrijk het zelfstandige gebied Inini gecreëerd, het onder directkoloniaal bestuur vallende achterland van Frans Guyana. Nadat Guyana een overzeesdepartement was geworden, bleef deze bestuursvorm bestaan tot in 1951 in de vorm van eenarrondissement met speciaal statuut, in rechte tot 1961 et feitelijk tot 1969. De beschrijvingvan deze bestuursvorm die sterk werd beïnvloed door het voor de Afrikaanse koloniënontwikkelde systeem, maakt het mogelijk het laatste stadium van het expansieproces van deFranse overheid te analyseren in het sociale en culturele gebied van de Amazone. Deze socialeintegratie was het werk van ambtenaren die ter plaatse, vanaf 1936, een aanhoudend contactbeleid uitvoerden bij de oprichting van administratieve posten in het binnenland van hetgebied en aan de grenzen. Dit ondergeschikte personeel, ambtenaren en politie, voerden eenbestuursbeleid uit van benadering en behandeling van de bevolking - indo-chinesegedeporteerden bewaard in speciale strafkampen, aan de grenzen levende stammen engoudzoekers – in een gebied dat open stond voor politieke invloed van de buurtstaten. Degeschiedenis van het Inini gebied nodigt uit de geschiedenis van Frans Guyana niet tebeperken tot die van een oude kolonie die in 1946 een overzees gebiedsdeel (D.O.M.) isgeworden. Zij nuanceert tevens de antropologische interpretatie van een te kunstmatige en tesnel uitgevoerde integratie van de woudbevolking. En ten laatste opent zij de weg naar eenvergelijkende analyse van de achterlanden van Guyana

Full textAbstract:
Les enjeux de ce travail sont multiples et s’inscrivent dans le renouvellement de la recherche sur la peinture hollandaise. S’il est courant d’opposer un peu rapidement la Flandre catholique d’une part, associée à une production importante de peinture religieuse, et la Hollande calviniste de l’autre, cantonnée à la peinture de genre, on sait à quel point la situation historique et sociale des Pays-Bas était plus complexe. L’existence de milieux catholiques dans les provinces protestantes a entraîné la production non négligeable de peinture : tableaux religieux pour les églises ou pour la dévotion privée ; portraits de clercs ou de laïcs affichant leur confession ; peintures représentant des allégories de la foi catholique. C’est à l’étude de l’ensemble de cette production que je me suis consacrée, en tentant de cerner les besoins et usages des milieux catholiques, ainsi que les réponses des peintres. Je me suis en particulier efforcée de rendre compte le plus précisément possible de la diversité des situations rencontrées et de la difficulté à les faire entrer dans des schémas. Ainsi en est-il par exemple de la question des liens entre l’appartenance confessionnelle des artistes et celles des commanditaires comme des rapports entre sentiments religieux et production artistique ou encore de l’interprétation catholique d’une œuvre. Mon étude vise à enrichir la connaissance du regard des milieux catholiques sur la peinture à l’âge de la Contre-Réforme, par la mise en lumière d’une situation géographique et socio-politique très singulière, et à nuancer l’opposition traditionnelle entre les Pays-Bas du Sud et du Nord en matière d’œuvres d’artThis research intends to be part of the Dutch art historiography’s renewal. The traditional opposition between North and South, Calvinism and Catholicism, History painting and Genre painting is no longer relevant. Although the Reformed church was the public church, the choice of personal religion permitted « sects », like Catholicism, Anabaptism, Lutheranism, to remain active. The presence of Catholics in the calvinist Dutch Republic during the 17th century maintains a demand for paintings : religious art works for churches or private devotion, portraits of the clergy or catholic lay, allegory of the catholic faith. I considered not only the expectations of Catholics in terms of painting, but also the responses of the painters whether they were Catholic or not. My aim is to extend the knowlegde of the production and reception of paintings during the age of the Counter-Reformation in an uncommon political and geographic situation
