Allen, Gretchen. "Qualification de la restriction de concurrence en droit antitrust comparé : à la recherche du standard perdu." Paris 5, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA05D015.
Full textAbstract:
Le droit antitrust fut longtemps l'apanage du droit américain; son champ d'application limité à la lutte contre les ententes, les délits de monopolisation et les concentrations anticoncurrentielles. Aujourd'hui, une centaine d'Etats ont adopté des droits antitrust visant l'ensemble des comportements constituant, sous diverses formes, des restrictions de concurrence. Bien que les marchés se soient globalisés, les lois antitrust demeurent nationales. Dans ce contexte, la qualification des effets restrictifs de concurrence par de multiples juridictions nationales est problématique du fait de l'indétermination de leur contenu, tant économique que juridique. Le standard juridique constitue un outil de qualification d'un énoncé normatif à contenu variable. En l'absence d'un droit international de la concurrence, le développement d'un standard de qualification de la restriction de concurrence permettrait de répondre à la multiplicité des conceptions et systèmes juridiques. Les systèmes américain et européen s'en détachent chronologiquement et qualitativement, présentant un terrain d'observation privilégié. Est ainsi explorée la substance du standard de qualification de la restriction de concurrence dans ces deux systèmes: standard législatif pour le droit américain; «constitutionnel» pour le droit de l'Union européenne (Première Partie). L'étude du fonctionnement de ces standards et leur confrontation à l'évolution des théories économiques débouchent sur une proposition d'un standard rénové, intégrant tant les données de fond que les éléments de charge et de l'intensité de la preuve de la restriction de concurrence dans un contexte globalisé (Deuxième Partie)Antitrust law, originally intended to contain the development of trusts following the industrial revolution in the United States, was for nearly a century the only system of competition law, and of limited scope: covering only cartels, abusive monopolization and anticompetitive mergers. Today, over 100 jurisdictions have adopted antitrust laws, and the scope has been widened to include other areas of competition, in which all of the anti-competitive practices covered concern restraints on competition. Even though markets are now globalized, antitrust laws remain national. In this context, restraints on competition are difficult to qualify given the ambiguity of their legal and economic definitions. The debate between standards and rules in this field is not new. However, absent international antitrust laws, it is posited that a standard qualifying restraints on competition is better adapted to the multiplicity of jurisdictions treating similar restraints. Given their longevity, the comparison of American and European antitrust laws lays the foundation enabling the formulation of the diverse standards or rules. To this end, the substance of the qualifying standard of restraint on trade is analyzed in each system: a legislative standard under the law of the United States; a "constitutional" standard, in European Union Law (Part One). Only then is it possible to address the application of these standards and to observe any modifications induced by the evolution of economic theory. This brings the author to propose a renovated standard, which integrates not only substantial law, but also clarifies the standard of proof of restraints on competition in a global context (Part Two)

Full textAbstract:
L’intégration de l’électronique dans des environnements sévères d’un point de vue électromagnétique a entraîné en contrepartie l’apparition de problèmes de compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) entre les différents systèmes. Afin d’atteindre un niveau de performance satisfaisant, des tests de sécurité et de certification sont nécessaires. Ces travaux de thèse, réalisés dans le cadre du projet SIMUCEDO (SIMUlation CEM basée sur la norme DO-160), contribuent à la modélisation du test de qualification "Bulk Current Injection" (BCI). Ce test, abordé dans la section 20 dans la norme DO-160 dédiée à l’aéronautique, est désormais obligatoire pour une très grande gamme d’équipements aéronautiques. Parmi les essais de qualification, le test BCI est l’un des plus contraignants et consommateurs du temps. Sa modélisation assure un gain de temps, et une meilleure maîtrise des paramètres qui influencent le passage des tests CEM. La modélisation du test a été décomposée en deux parties : l’équipement sous test (EST) d’une part, et la pince d’injection avec les câbles d’autre part. Dans cette thèse, seul l’EST est pris en compte. Une modélisation "boîte grise" a été proposée en associant un modèle "boîte noire" avec un modèle "extensif". Le modèle boîte noire s’appuie sur la mesure des impédances standards. Son identification se fait avec un modèle en pi. Le modèle extensif permet d’étudier plusieurs configurations de l’EST en ajustant les paramètres physiques. L’assemblage des deux modèles en un modèle boîte grise a été validé sur un convertisseur analogique-numérique (CAN). Une autre approche dénommée approche modale en fonction du mode commun (MC) et du mode différentiel (MD) a été proposée. Elle se base sur les impédances modales du système sous test. Des PCB spécifiques ont été conçus pour valider les équations développées. Une investigation est menée pour définir rigoureusement les impédances modales. Nous avons démontré qu’il y a une divergence entre deux définitions de l’impédance de MC dans la littérature. Ainsi, la conversion de mode (ou rapport Longitudinal Conversion Loss : LCL) a été quantifiée grâce à ces équations. Pour finir, le modèle a été étendu à N-entrées pour représenter un EST de complexité industrielle. Le modèle de l’EST est ensuite associé avec celui de la pince et des câbles travaux réalisés au G2ELAB. Des mesures expérimentales ont été faites pour valider le modèle complet. D’après ces mesures, le courant de MC est impacté par la mise en œuvre des câbles ainsi que celle de l’EST. Il a été montré que la connexion du blindage au plan de masse est le paramètre le plus impactant sur la distribution du courant de MCElectronic equipments intended to be integrated in aircrafts are subjected to normative requirements. EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) qualification tests became one of the mandatory requirements. This PhD thesis, carried out within the framework of the SIMUCEDO project (SIMulation CEM based on the DO-160 standard), contributes to the modeling of the Bulk Current Injection (BCI) qualification test. Concept, detailed in section 20 in the DO-160 standard, is to generate a noise current via cables using probe injection, then monitor EUT satisfactorily during test. Among the qualification tests, the BCI test is one of the most constraining and time consuming. Thus, its modeling ensures a saving of time, and a better control of the parameters which influence the success of the equipment under test. The modeling of the test was split in two parts : the equipment under test (EUT) on one hand, and the injection probe with the cables on the other hand. This thesis focuses on the EUT modeling. A "gray box" modeling was proposed by associating the "black box" model with the "extensive" model. The gray box is based on the measurement of standard impedances. Its identification is done with a "pi" model. The model, having the advantage of taking into account several configurations of the EUT, has been validated on an analog to digital converter (ADC). Another approach called modal, in function of common mode and differential mode, has been proposed. It takes into account the mode conversion when the EUT is asymmetrical. Specific PCBs were designed to validate the developed equations. An investigation was carried out to rigorously define the modal impedances, in particular the common mode (CM) impedance. We have shown that there is a discrepancy between two definitions of CM impedance in the literature. Furthermore, the mode conversion ratio (or the Longitudinal Conversion Loss : LCL) was quantified using analytical equations based on the modal approach. An N-input model has been extended to include industrial complexity. The EUT model is combined with the clamp and the cables model (made by the G2ELAB laboratory). Experimental measurements have been made to validate the combined model. According to these measurements, the CM current is influenced by the setup of the cables as well as the EUT. It has been shown that the connection of the shield to the ground plane is the most influent parameter on the CM current distribution

Full textAbstract:
In the aviation industry, the use of software development tools is not as easily adopted as in other industries. Due to the catastrophic consequences of software errors in airborne systems, software development processes has rigorous requirements. One of these requirements is that a code standard must be followed. Code standards are used to exclude code constructions which could result in unwanted behaviours. The process of manually ensuring a specific code standard can be costly. This process could be automated by a tool for static code analysis, however, this requires a formal qualification. This thesis evaluates the process of qualifying a tool for static code analysis in accordance with the requirements of the major aviation authorities EASA and FAA. To describe the qualification process, a literature study was conducted. To further explain how an existing tool could be put through the qualification process, a case study of the existing tool Parasoft C/C++ test was conducted. The results of the literature study show what processes must be completed in order to qualify a static code analysis tool. Importantly, the study shows that no requirements are put on the development process of the tool. This was an important takeaway as it meant that an existing tool could be qualified without any additional data from the developer of the tool. The case study of Parasoft C/C++ test showed how the tool could be configured and verified to analyze code in accordance with a small set of code rules. Furthermore, three documents including qualification data were produced showing how the qualification process should be documented in order to communicate the process to an authority. The results of the thesis do not provide the full picture of how a tool could be qualified as the software, in which the tool is used, is considerations the are specific to the software the tool is used to develop still need to be taken into consideration. The thesis does, however, provide guidance on the majority of the applicable requirements. Future research could be done to provide the complete picture of the qualification process, as well as how the process would look like for other types of tools.Inom flygindustrin är användandet av olika programmeringsverktyg inte lika självklart som inom andra industrier. På grund av de katastrofala konsekvenser som fel i mjukvaran i ett flygplan kan resultera i finns det rigorösa krav på mjukvaruutvecklingsprocessen. Ett av dessa krav är att en viss kodstandard måste upprätthållas. Kodstandarder används för att exkludera vissa strukturer i kod som kan leda till oönskat beteende. Upprätthållandet av en viss kodstandard är en långdragen process att genomföra manuellt, och kan därför automatiseras med hjälp av ett statiskt kodanalysverktyg. För att kunna använda ett sådant verktyg behövs däremot en formell verktygskvalificering. I denna uppsats kommer kvalificeringsprocessen av ett verktyg för statisk kodanalys att evalueras enligt de krav som de två stora flygmyndigheterna EASA och FAA ställer. För att förklara processen av att kvalificera ett sådant verktyg gjordes en litteraturstudie följt av en fallstudie av det existerande verktyget Parasoft C/C++ test. Resultaten av litteraturstudien beskriver de olika processerna som måste genomföras för att kvalificera ett statiskt kodanalysverktyg. Noterbart är att resultaten visar att inga krav ställs på utvecklingsprocessen av verktyget själv. Detta betyder att ett existerande kommersiellt verktyg kan kvalificeras utan att verktygsutvecklarna själva behöver bidra med extra information. Fallstudien visade hur verktyget Parasoft C/C++ test kan konfigureras och verifieras att följa en viss kodstandard. Vidare resulterade fallstudien i utkast av de nödvändiga dokumenten som behöver produceras för att kommunicera kvalificeringsprocessen till en myndighet. De resultat som presenteras i denna uppsats är i sig inte tillräckliga för beskriva hela kvalificeringsprocessen. Ytterligare överväganden som är specifika till den mjukvaran som verktyget ska användas till att utveckla måste göras för att en komplett kvalificering ska kunna genomföras. Uppsatsen bidrar däremot med riktlinjer och vägledning av majoriteten av de processerna som behöver genomföras. Ytterligare forskning kan göras för att bidra med den kompletta bilden av verktygskvalificering av ett statiskt kodanalysverktyg, samt hur kvalificering kan göras av andra typer av verktyg.

Full textAbstract:
Ce document de thèse présente un travail à la fois instrumental et de prospective pour la Physique dans le cadre de l'expérience LHCb, sise auprès de la machine LHC, au Cern, dont la mise en service est prévue au printemps 2008. Collisionneur proton-proton délivrant une énergie dans le centre de masse de 14 TeV, le LHC produira nominalement dans l'expérience LHCb 1012 paires de particules belles par an. Après les succès expérimentaux remarquables enregistrés par les usines à mésons B BaBar (SLAC) et Belle (KEK), le Modèle Standard (MS) de la Physique des Particules accommode correctement l'ensemble des données de la Physique des Saveurs et singulièrement le mécanisme CKM est établi comme la source dominante de violation de la symétrie CP dans les systèmes de particules contenant un quark beau ou un quark étrange. La très grande statistique dont disposera l'expérience LHCb devrait permettre à la fois la scrutation de modes rares particulièrement sensibles à des contributions de Nouvelle Physique et des mesures de précision pour une métrologie améliorée des paramètres pertinents du MS. Dans ce cadre, il sera possible de faire une exploration systématique des propriétés du méson $B{^0} _{s}$. Ce travail de thèse porte sur la faisabilité d'une mesure précise du temps de vie de la composante courte de cette particule par l'étude de sa désintégration $B{^0} _{s}\ to \ D ^{+}_{s} D^{-}_{s}$ dont l'état final est CP pair. Nous avons montré qu'une précision de 2% pouvait être atteinte après une année de prise de données à la luminosité nominale et contraignait significativement la différence de largeurs $ \Delta Gamma _ {s} /Gamma {s}$. L'autre volet de ce travail de thèse concerne la qualification des photodétecteurs qui équipent le détecteur de pieds de gerbe pour lequel l'équipe de Clermont a la responsabilité de l'entièreté de la chaîne de lecture. Le photodétecteur que nous avons retenu est un photomultiplicateur compact 64 anodes produit par la compagnie Hamamatsu. J'ai participé à la caractérisation systématique et à la certification des 100 tubes du détecteur au moyen d'un banc de test spécialement conçu à cette fin. Un élément crucial de ces études à été la mise en évidence d'une diaphonie entre canaux inacceptable au regard des spécifications de physique pour une fraction non négligeable de la production et la sélection finale du nombre de tubes nécessaires qui satisfaisaient tous les critères d'acceptation.

Full textAbstract:
Le raisonnement économique se présente comme un trait distinctif du droit de la concurrence. Il peut apparaître étranger au juge. L’analyse plus approfondie qui est proposée révèle cependant qu’il n’y a pas d’opposition entre la logique économique et la logique juridique. Certains points de convergences sont mis en lumière. Il est par ailleurs démontré que les obstacles à la prise en considération du raisonnement économique par le juge ne sont que relatifs. L’analyse cherche ensuite à rendre compte de l’insertion du raisonnement économique dans la méthode du juge. Celle-ci peut être expliquée à partir d’éléments habituels du jugement : les éléments de la qualification juridique des faits et sa structure. Il en découle qu’il est possible de rendre compte du contrôle juridictionnel exercé sur le raisonnement économique – notamment celui des autorités de concurrence – à partir d’une théorie du contrôle de motivation dont la portée est très générale : la théorie du manque de base légaleEconomic reasoning is a distinctive feature of competition law. At first sight, it may appear as foreign to judges. A closer analysis, however, shows that there is no conflict of logic between economic and judicial reasoning. Some points of convergence between these modes of reasoning are underlined. In addition, it is submitted that obstacles to judicial acknowledgement of economic reasoning are purely relative. The proposed analysis then proceeds to investigate how economic reasoning may be incorporated into judicial methods. It is shown that this is achieved by way of ordinary mechanisms. Indeed judges may use economic analysis to determine the relevant facts and legal tests. It follows that judicial control over economic reasoning – including that of competition authorities – can be explained by a very general theory of judicial review, according to which the depth of judicial control over grounds of fact and law depends on the dynamics of litigants’ contentions

Full textAbstract:
The introduction of the National Qualifications Framework and the associated assessment against Physics Unit Standards represents a major paradigm shift in senior secondary school assessment. The trend away from norm-referenced external national exams towards internal standards-based assessment has significant implications for curriculum delivery, student learning and assessment and moderation practices. The New Zealand Qualifications Authority claims that the National Qualifications Framework is a technically sound and publicly acceptable alternative to the established system. Moderation is a key plank of the Framework which aims to establish and maintain national consistency of assessment across different providers, improve assessment practices, assist in the development of assessor expertise and establish public confidence in the new qualifications. Critics have expressed doubts that the perceived national consistency and public confidence in national examinations may be lacking in internal assessment against Unit Standards. The Post Primary Teachers' Association has expressed concern that the workload associated with the assessment, reassessment and administration of Unit Standards will adversely affect the quality of curriculum delivery and student learning. The present research is an attempt to evaluate these claims and counterclaims. In this thesis the assessment and moderation of the Physics Unit Standards is used as a context to answer the question: Is assessment against the Physics Unit Standards a valid, reliable and manageable way of assessing the achievement objectives of Physics in the New Zealand curriculum? A range of qualitative and quantitative techniques was employed to monitor the quality assurance of assessment and moderation of the physics Unit Standards over a three-year period and describe its impact on teachers and students. The research established that assessment against the Physics Unit Standards was generally valid but that doubts remain about its suitability to assess conceptual learning, the micro-definition of learning outcomes and the lack of recognition of different levels of achievement. The moderation action plan was found to be effective in establishing and maintaining satisfactory comparability between schools. After the initial implementation period the workload was manageable for teachers but concerns remained about dual assessment and excessive administrative requirements. Teachers felt that the resources provided by the NZQA were generally adequate. The research identified a number of areas for improving the quality of assessment against the Level 2 Physics Unit Standards. Chief recommendations related to the incorporation of higher level skills, a broadening of the performance criteria, the recognition of levels of achievement including excellence, the elimination of dual assessment and a reduction in the amount of assessment.

"A model for registering teachers, accrediting teacher education and awarding advanced certification in Australia : a means for advancing the status of teaching as an autonomous profession." THESIS_FEL_XXX_O'Donnell_B.xml, 1999. http://handle.uws.edu.au:8081/1959.7/78.
Full textAbstract:
Teaching in Australia is acknowledged as a profession. The public, however, generally perceives teaching as a poorly paid occupation whose practitioners exert little control over their own standards of practice. Consequently, the professional status of teachers is low, and very few of the most capable school leavers and high ability university graduates are attracted to teaching as a career. Furthermore, teachers' perceptions that the public does not appreciate their work have led to low morale, high rates of resignations, and early retirements among experienced practitioners. These factors will contribute to serious shortages of teachers in the new millennium. In the past Australian employers in both government and non-government school sectors have attempted to circumvent teacher shortages by reducing qualifications required for teaching. This anti-professional practice has contributed to the belief that teaching is something that anyone can do. It is argued in this thesis that the status of the teaching profession in Australia must be enhanced if teaching is to attract capable new recruits and retain knowledgeable, experienced practitioners. This could be achieved by giving teachers greater responsibility for their profession's standards through a system of statutory regulatory boards, comprised largely of practising teachers. The boards would be responsible for establishing and enforcing standards for registration of teachers, accreditation of teacher education, and provision of advanced certification. Furthermore, such regulation of the profession should be on a national basis to ensure that all children in all schools in Australia have access to competent, professionally qualified teachers, and to overcome the problems of interstate mobility of teachers. The thesis concludes by calling on all stakeholders to acknowledge teaching as a full profession. This could be achieved by accepting that teachers should regulate their professional standards in the same way that other professions do. A model to achieve that end is presented.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Full textAbstract:
This study originated from a professional interest of the researcher in
competency standards and their implementation in the professions. The
study was conducted with the aim of informing policy development and
implementation in Namibia in this area by drawing lessons from the
Australian experience. It set out to identify the factors that influenced
the implementation of this policy in Australia, the importance of these
factors and the strategies employed by implementors to enhance
successful implementation. The study is grounded in policy
implementation theory.
Twenty professions have been involved in developing and implementing
competency standards in Australia under the guidance and with the
support of a national government organisation called the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR). The main objectives of the
Australian government in implementing this policy were the
improvement of migrant skills recognition and the achievement of
recognition for professional qualifications across state and territory
borders.
Time and budgetary constraints would not allow the involvement of all
the professional groups in this study, so four groups were selected based
on their size and progress made in developing and implementing the
standards. The groups ranged from a very large professional group
(more than 250 000 members) to a very small professional group
(approximately 3 500 members). Eleven respondents from NOOSR and
the professional groups participated in the study. Data was gathered by
structured interview, a rating schedule and document analysis.
The study found that there were seventeen factors that influenced this
process as perceived by the respondents. These factors were classified
into five categories: technical, political, economic, administrative and
political, and then placed on a matrix with the levels at which they
exerted their greatest pressure: external, internal to the professional
body, and on the steering group. This classification of factors gave
indications of the types of strategies and the level of intervention which
may address implementation problems best. The study compiled a list of
the factors in order of importance as rated by the respondents. This
ranking showed that leadership was the most important factor, followed
by experience and expertise of the steering group and the need for and
appropriateness of the standards for the professions. The study also
found that the Australian government employed inducement, capacity
building and facilitation strategies to enhance the successful
vii
implementation of the standards, while the professional bodies
employed mainly staff development and training as strategies.
The study concluded that Namibian policy makers and implementors
can draw the following lessons from the Australian experience:
1. there is a need for a balance between pressure and support from
government;
2. there is a role for a national implementation plan;
3. the main attraction of national competency standards is still the
many uses it can be put to and the many purposes it serves for
different organisations;
4. assessment strategies need to be considered from the beginning;
5. the methodology of using a representative steering group to lead
standards development is one of the best features of the Australian
approach;
6. Over time, the original objectives of the policy became low priority
for NOOSR and the government;
7. the classification matrix can be used as a planning tool; and
8. the ranking of the factors indicates the importance of organisational,
technical and economic factors.

La question des compétences professionnelles surgit au cœur des travaux de normalisation et de standardisation et pose quelques problèmes liés à sa nature. En effet, à la différence de la « machine », il est impossible de standardiser des éléments liés à la compétence professionnelle sans affronter des difficultés d’ordre idéologique, politique, culturel, et social. De plus, la question est saisie par d’autres entités issues de l’Etat de droit dont les dispositifs sont en inadéquation avec ceux élaborés par les organismes de normalisation. Témoignent de cela les controverses et divergences qui sous-tendent régulièrement les négociations. La normalisation a pour cadre opératoire des modes de gouvernance difficiles à appréhender car procédant d’une légitimité démocratique discutable. Notre thèse se situe à l’intersection des sciences de l’information et de la communication et des sciences politiques pour mener une réflexion qui aboutit à des propositions tenant du concept de procéduralisation : la prise en compte de l’espace public et des contextes mais aussi l’adoption de nombreuses pratiques visant à associer d’autres entités aux négociationsThe question of professional competences appears in this work on standards as a central issue with problems of its own. Indeed, unlike the “machines” it is impossible to standardize elements related to professional competences without facing ideological, political, cultural and social difficulties. Besides, there are other legal bodies with inappropriate means dealing with this issue elaborated by standards organizations. The frequent controversies and divergences around gathering negotiations illustrate this.Standardization is operated in difficult to understand types of governance with disputable democratic legitimacy. Our thesis is at the intersection of political and information science to have a reflection leading to the proposal of concepts of procedures: considering public space and environments but also the adoption of many practices associating other bodies to the negotiations

Full textAbstract:
Today’s state of the art additive manufacturing (AM) systems have the ability to fabricate multi-material devices with novel capabilities that were previously constrained by traditional manufacturing. AM machines fuse or deposit material in an additive fashion only where necessary, thus unlocking advantages of mass customization, no part-specific tooling, near arbitrary geometric complexity, and reduced lead times and cost. The combination of conductive ink micro-dispensing AM process with hybrid manufacturing processes including: laser machining, CNC machining, and pick & place enables the fabrication of printed electronics. Printed electronics exploit the integration of AM with hybrid processes and allow embedded and/or conformal electronics systems to be fabricated, which overcomes previously limited multi-functionality, decreases the form factor, and enhances performance. However, AM processes are still emerging technologies and lack qualification and standardization, which limits widespread application, especially in harsh environments (i.e. defense and industrial sectors).
This dissertation explores three topics of electronics integration into AM that address the path toward qualification and standardization to evaluate the performance and repeatable fabrication of printed electronics for resilience when subjected to harsh environments. These topics include: (1) the effect of smoothing processes to improve the as-printed surface finish of AM components with mechanical and electrical characterization—which highlights the lack of qualification and standardization within AM printed electronics and paves the way for the remaining topics of the dissertation, (2) harsh environmental testing (i.e. mechanical shock, thermal cycling, die shear strength) and initiation of a foundation for qualification of printed electronic components to demonstrate survivability in harsh environments, and (3) the development of standardized methods to evaluate the adhesion of conductive inks while also analyzing the effect of surface treatments on the adhesive failure mode of conductive inks.
The first topic of this dissertation addresses the as-printed surface roughness from individually fusing lines in AM extrusion processes that create semi-continuous components. In this work, the impact of surface smoothing on mechanical properties and electrical performance was measured. For the mechanical study, surface roughness was decreased with vapor smoothing by 70% while maintaining dimensional accuracy and increasing the hermetic seal to overcome the inherent porosity. However, there was little impact on the mechanical properties. For the electrical study, a vapor smoothing and a thermal smoothing process reduced the surface roughness of the surfaces of extruded substrates by 90% and 80% while also reducing measured dissipative losses up to 24% and 40% at 7 GHz, respectively.
The second topic of this dissertation addresses the survivability of printed electronic components under harsh environmental conditions by adapting test methods and conducting preliminary evaluation of multi-material AM components for initializing qualification procedures. A few of the material sets show resilience to high G impacts up to 20,000 G’s and thermal cycling in extreme temperatures (-55 to 125ºC). It was also found that coefficient of thermal expansion matching is an important consideration for multi-material printed electronics and adhesion of the conductive ink is a prerequisite for antenna survivability in harsh environments.
The final topic of this dissertation addresses the development of semi-quantitative and quantitative measurements for standardizing adhesion testing of conductive inks while also evaluating the effect of surface treatments. Without standard adhesion measurements of conductive inks, comparisons between materials or references to application requirements cannot be determined and limit the adoption of printed electronics. The semi-quantitative method evolved from manual cross-hatch scratch testing by designing, printing, and testing a semi-automated tool, which was coined scratch adhesion tester (SAT). By cross-hatch scratch testing with a semi-automated device, the SAT bypasses the operator-to-operator variance and allows more repeatable and finer analysis/comparison across labs. Alternatively, single lap shear testing permits quantitative adhesion measurements by providing a numerical value of the nominal interfacial shear strength of a coating upon testing while also showing surface treatments can improve adhesion and alter the adhesive (i.e. the delamination) failure mode of conductive inks.

Full textAbstract:
The increasing complexity of embedded systems development is becoming difficult to handle with development environments based on disjoint engineering tools. Support for interactions between various engineering tools, especially through automated means, has therefore received an increased amount of attention during the last few years. The subsequent increase in the amount of tool integration is leading to an increased impact of tool integration on non-functional properties of development efforts, development environments and end products. At the same time there is a lack of methods and tools for analysing the relationship between these properties and tool integration. To establish a foundation for analysing this generic relationship, the specific relationship between tool integration and the safety of end products is analysed in this thesis. A survey was conducted to analyze the State of the Art of tool integration as related to safety. This survey specifically identified the lack of an efficient handling of tool integration by modern safety standards as an important concern. In relation to this survey, three theories were identified as of specific importance. These are the school of thought known as Systems Thinking, the Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) causality model and the System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) hazard analysis technique. Building on these theories, this thesis provides original contributions intended to (1) describe concepts and models related to tool integration and safety (the first and second contribution), (2) link tool integration to safety in a way that reduces complexity during analysis (the third contribution) and (3) propose how to interpret and make use of the implications of the presented theories and the first three contributions (the fourth and fifth contribution). • The first contribution is a new conceptual model of a development effort that emphasizes tool integration. • The second contribution is a new reference model for tool integration in highly heterogeneous environments. • The third contribution consists of nine safety-related tool chain properties, i.e. properties of tool chains that could mitigate at least part of the risks introduced by tool integration. • The fourth contribution is a proposition on how to identify safety implications due to a high level of automation of tool integration. • The fifth contribution is a proposition for a new software tool qualification process.

Full textAbstract:
This study draws upon a methodological approach based on the use of objects to explore the experiences of a group of teachers undertaking a Masters-level Continuing Professional Development programme. Eight Respondents were invited to bring three objects to their interview that represented significant aspects of their practice in relation to the course. These objects afforded an exploration of respondents’ views, experiences and consideration of the impact of the programme on their professional identities. In order to engage analytically with the data the work draws upon notions of spatiality as well as the later work of Foucault on truth and subject formation. The thesis considers the role of professional learning as shaped by the current policy process and, how professional learning is, in turn, shaped by the teachers undertaking the course. Such a consideration allows for a methodological take on the CPD process as one whereby people, as well as objects, such as ‘standards’, play equally important roles. In drawing upon the later work of Foucault (1984a, 1984b) analysis of the data considered the ways in which the practices of the course that the teachers engaged with (Askēsis) lead to a desire to speak their mind and express ideals of truth about educational practice (Parrhēsia). This means that in thinking about their practice through the activities and processes of the programme encourages the development of the ethical work of the teacher. In the light of such problematisation, this study encourages a rethinking of both policy and practice and argues for a change in the discourse of education from the concept of professional development to that of professional learning within a relational and ethical framing.

Full textAbstract:
Le développement des droits fondamentaux et le renouveau des revendications liées à l’appartenance religieuse ont fait de l’élaboration d’une méthodologie de prise en compte des convictions religieuses un enjeu théorique contemporain. Si la question des convictions religieuses, et plus généralement celle de la liberté de conscience et de religion, ont pu donner lieu à un certain nombre d’études en droit public ou en histoire du droit, à travers, notamment, le prisme du service public ou de la fonction publique ou encore du droit administratif des biens, ce sujet n’a pas été suffisamment exploré en droit privé ainsi qu’on droit comparé alors qu’il suscite, dans cette matière, un contentieux aussi abondant que régulier. Le juge judiciaire joue, à l’instar du juge administratif ou de la CEDH, un rôle singulier pour définir le sens et la portée du concept de « vivre ensemble ». Le développement des droits fondamentaux en droit international et européen a par ailleurs largement contribué à renouveler l’étude de cet objet aujourd’hui marqué par la globalisation du droit, la confrontation de cultures juridiques parfois en tension, l’assimilation du pluralisme – juridique, culturel, religieux – et donc nécessairement par le dialogue des juges.Partant de ce constat, ce travail doctoral a cherché à mettre en exergue d’une façon critique quels types de représentations, de raisonnements et d’épistémologies sont mobilisés par le juge judiciaire pour appréhender les convictions religieuses en France. Comment le juge judiciaire entreprend-il la protection effective de la liberté de religion des justiciables, tout en respect le devoir de neutralité qui lui incombe en vertu du principe de laïcité ? À la première partie de cette thèse, qui cherche à comprendre et à systématiser l’appréhension que semblent manifester les juges judiciaires envers les convictions religieuses des justiciables, succède la construction d’une méthode de prise en compte explicite des convictions religieuses dans le raisonnement judiciaireThe development of fundamental rights and the renewal of claims related to religious affiliation have made the development of a methodology for taking into account religious beliefs a contemporary theoretical issue. If the question of religious beliefs, and more generally that of freedom of conscience and religion, may have given rise to a number of studies in public law or in the history of law, through, in particular, the prism of the public service or the public service or the administrative law of property, this subject has not been sufficiently explored in private law as well as comparative law whereas it raises, in this matter, a litigation as abundant as regular. The judicial judge, like the administrative judge or the ECHR, plays a singular role in defining the meaning and scope of the concept of "living together". The development of fundamental rights in international and European law has also largely contributed to renewing the study of this object today marked by the globalization of law, the confrontation of legal cultures sometimes in tension, the assimilation of pluralism - legal, cultural, religious - and therefore necessarily through the dialogue of judges.Based on this observation, this doctoral work has sought to highlight in a critical way what types of representations, reasonings and epistemologies are mobilized by the judicial judge to apprehend religious beliefs in France. How does the judicial judge undertake the effective protection of the freedom of religion of individuals, while respecting the duty of neutrality incumbent upon him by virtue of the principle of secularism?In the first part of this thesis, which seeks to understand and systematize the apprehension that judges seem to show towards the religious convictions of litigants, succeeds the construction of a method of explicitly taking into account religious convictions in judicial reasoning

Full textAbstract:
Bon père de famille et plerumque fit sont deux standards juridiques utilisés par les juges ; le premier se retrouve dans certains textes du Code civil, le second dans quelques adages anciens. Le premier renvoie à l'"homme prudent et diligent", le second à l'homme "normal". Le discours juridique les confond parfois. Pourtant, ils doivent être distingués, la notion de père de famille est rattachée à la responsabilité civile, contractuelle comme délictuelle, et à l'appréciation in abstracto de la faute et de l'absence de faute par le juge ; il constitue la mesure, composée par celui-ci, et calibrée à la situation envisagée, exprimant les frontières du comportement licite. L'étude ne remet pas en cause cette assertion. Dans un premier temps, elle tente d'expliquer les tenants-les justifications-et les aboutissants-la mise en œuvre-de la méthode que réalise le bon père de famille. La faute (et l'absence de faute) apparaît comme un moyen d'estimer la légitimité d'une situation juridique et de justifier sa liquidation a posteriori. Le bon père de famille exprime ce qui doit être. Quant au plerumque fit, l'homme normal, il incarne e façon générique l'ensemble des présupposés tirés de l'expérience ordinaire mise en œuvre par le juriste lorsqu'il utilise ds outils lui permettant la reconstitution de ce qui est (présomption, causalité, interprétation, qualification). Celle-ci nécessite le recours à un standard "épistémologique", les postulant de manière objective. Dans un second temps, cette étude tente d'expliquer les tenants -les justifications-et les aboutissants-la mise en œuvre-des raisonnements qu'autorise le plerumque fittBonus parter familias and plerumque fit are two judicial standards, frequently used by judges. While the first one can be found in legal dispositions of the Code Civil and constitutes the criterion for appreciate the fault of an agent in situation, the second one can be found in some acient adages, and plays a role in every juridical reasoning. The juridical discourse often merged them, but they should be distinguished : the bonus pater familias express what "should be", while the plerumque fit is a way to reconstruct what "that is". Then, the purpose of this study is to explain the causes and the consequences of the method they're, each of them, referring to

Full textAbstract:
The Federal education system has 12 nationally accredited and portable qualifications issued by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) which cover three sectors; Higher Education, Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Schools. A mandatory minimum bachelor qualification together with education units, state registration and ongoing professional development is imposed for all classroom music teachers. In direct contrast, however, Australian studio piano teachers and school instrumental teachers may or may not have formal qualifications, registration with professional associations, or ongoing professional development. All teachers must be registered with State registration boards for Working With Children (WWC) but no monitoring controls exist for studio teachers. Qualifications are available from public examination boards, private enterprises and state Music Teacher Associations (MTAs) but these are not recognised within the national system and consequently have no status or portability, although they are used and recommended within the industry and higher education institutions as course prerequisites. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether a National Accreditation System (NAS) for Australian studio piano teachers could be a viable system, adding unprecedented professionalism to the field and drawing upon the existing systems of government, private industry and educational institutions. In the thesis, current systems of accreditation, education and training available for classroom music teachers, school instrumental music teachers and other recognised professions such as lawyers, engineers, accountants, health professionals and sports coaches were reviewed as a comparative basis upon which to assess similar contexts for studio piano teachers. Results are combined with a survey of Australian piano teachers' perceptions, from which the study ascertained the extent to which studio piano teachers' needs were being catered for and met in available systems of accreditation and training.

Full textAbstract:
Kinder mit Sprachentwicklungsstörungen haben besondere Bildungsbedürfnisse. Didaktisch-methodische Entscheidungen für die Unterrichtsgestaltung müssen sich an den individuellen Lernvoraussetzungen auszurichten, um einen erfolgreichen Bildungsprozess, z.B. im Bereich der Schriftsprache, sicherzustellen. Sowohl in Förderschulen, als auch im Hinblick auf die Gestaltung Gemeinsamen Unterrichts ist damit die Frage nach den Qualitätsmerkmalen eines Unterrichtsangebotes für sprachbeeinträchtigte Kindern von hoher Relevanz. Hierzu liegen vielfach konzeptuelle Überlegungen und vereinzelt auch Befragungen vor, jedoch keine Untersuchungen mit einem systematisch entwickelten Instrument.
Ausgehend vom Angebot-Nutzungs-Modell des Unterrichts (Helmke 2009) und Merkmalen allgemein guten Unterrichts wurden Experten befragt hinsichtlich der Merkmale, die sie für die Gestaltung von Bildungsprozessen sprachbeeinträchtigter Kinder für besonders bedeutsam halten (Theisel & Glück 2012). Diese Ergebnisse fanden Eingang in einen Fragebogen, der bundesweit an sonderpädagogische Lehrkräfte verteilt wurde, die unabhängig vom Lernort mit sprachbeeinträchtigten Kindern unterrichtlich tätig sind. Im Vergleich mit den Angaben von Grundschullehrkräften lässt sich zeigen, wie einzelne Subskalen des Fragebogens auf spezifische Gestaltungsmerkmale des Unterrichts hinweisen, wie sie für die Arbeit mit sprachbeeinträchtigten Kindern typisch sind.
Im Rahmen der KiSSES-Studie in B.-W. wurde die Schulleistungsentwicklung der Kinder im Längsschnitt verfolgt. Gleichzeitig wurden die Lehrkräfte nach Prozessmerkmalen ihres Unterrichts befragt. Es lassen sich Zusammenhänge zwischen einzelnen Bereichen der Schulleistung (Mathematik, Lesen, Schreiben) und Unterrichtsmerkmalen zeigen, die die Kriteriumsvalidität und Reliabilität des entwickelten Instrumentes deutlich machen.

Cette thèse s’intéresse à l’activité quotidienne des cadres de santé formateurs exerçant en institut de formation en soins infirmiers. Elle s’attarde à la construction et la mise en œuvre des dispositifs de formation et développe les raisons d’action des formateurs dans leur agir situationnel. L’activité des acteurs n’est pas une marque laissée au hasard et les concepts organisateurs de celle-ci peuvent être identifiés pour comprendre l’activité des professionnels. Le formateur est un être agissant qui va faire des choix en situation où valeurs et dilemmes vont s’articuler pour organiser l’action. Le matériau empirique a été obtenu au moyen d’entretiens semi-directifs, d’observations en situation suivies d’entretiens d’autoconfrontation à partir de vidéo et de représentations graphiques. Il a été traité selon des méthodes issues de la didactique professionnelle et de l’ergologie. Nos résultats témoignent des spécificités de l’activité des cadres de santé formateurs. La volonté d’accompagner de manière singulière un groupe d’apprenants amène à réaménager en situation de cours les objectifs définis à l’avance témoignant de la signature pédagogique de l’acteurThis thesis is about daily activities of nurse trainer managers working in nurses training centers. It concerns building and implementing training organization and activities and develops how and why trainers act in their real circumstances. Stakeholders activity is not a random mark and structuring ideas can be known so as to understand the activities of these professionals. A nurse team manager is someone active who enhances his/her experience and develops his/her resources along with encountered professional situations. He/she is going to make choices in real life where morals and dilemmas are combining together to get an answer and to organize action. Work context, trainers team, and learning people as well, associated with pressures from requirements of the nurse job are influencing teaching activity of each stakeholder. Presented data have been collected during partly guided interviews, as well as real observed situations, and their debriefed video sessions and drawn schematics showing activity. They have been processed according to methods derived from professional didactics and from ergology. Our results show specificities of nurse trainer managers

Full textAbstract:
La thèse, menée dans le cadre d’une convention industrielle de formation par la recherche (CIFRE) avec l’Observatoire Régional des Métiers (ORM, Marseille), porte sur le thème des mobilités professionnelles, entendues comme l’ensemble des changements qui ponctuent le cours des vies au travail. Elle montre que la « mobilité professionnelle » est une expression polémique qui renvoie à la question de savoir dans quelle mesure le pouvoir de la norme vient aujourd’hui imposer une forme unilatérale aux multiples vécus du changement au travail. En effet, construire la mobilité professionnelle d’un point de vue discursif (dans les champs social, politique, juridique et épistémologique) conduit à l’instituer comme mode de vie. A partir de ce constat, étayé au cours de la première partie, il s’agit de voir en quoi s’intéresser de près au vécu du changement peut contribuer à retravailler la norme qui intime aujourd’hui l’ordre de « bouger ». Pour répondre à cette question, l’analyse de récits biographiques de trajectoires professionnelles permet d’appréhender la mobilité professionnelle comme expérience impliquant le déploiement d’une véritable « activité de transition ». L’axe de l’expérience est transversal à l’ensemble de la deuxième partie de la thèse et il est travaillé selon trois directions : celle du déploiement des compétences au cours des situations de transition, celle du métier à l’épreuve ou à l’appui des processus de mobilité et enfin celle du développement du « sujet de la mobilité », revenant sur la question de savoir comment « le même » reste à la fois lui-même et « devient autre » à travers l’expérience du changement. In fine l’ensemble des éléments développés ouvre la voie à une réélaboration possible du concept de mobilité professionnelle. Aussi, deux niveaux de lecture de la thèse ne peuvent être dissociés : l’un, portant sur l’expérience de la mobilité professionnelle, nourrit l’autre, concernant des enjeux épistémologiques de définition du phénomène considéréThis doctoral thesis, which was supported in the framework of a CIFRE funding agreement with the Observatoire Régional des Métiers (ORM, the Regional Occupational Observatory in Marseille), focuses on the theme of occupational mobility, defined as the whole set of changes which occur during people’s working lives. The author explains what a controversial term “occupational mobility” is, since it raises questions about the difference between discursive norms and how people actually experience the occupational changes made during their careers. Introducing the concept of occupational mobility into public discourse (in the social, political, juridical and epistemological fields) is bound to set mobility up as a way of life. Based on this conclusion reached in the first part of this study, it was proposed to examine how it may be possible to modulate the current coercive norm which incites people to keep on changing, by looking more closely at how these occupational changes have been experienced. To answer this question, some peoples’ personal accounts of their occupational trajectories were analyzed, and occupational mobility was found to be an experience which requires the ability to invest in transition as if it were an activity in itself. The theme of personal experience which runs through the whole of the second part of this study is approached from three different angles: how people’s skills are deployed during the transition phase, how people’s occupational skills are either put to the test or facilitate the process of mobility, and how the “mobile subject” develops as the result of this experience, i.e., how each person remains exactly the same while “becoming another person” due to this experience of change. In conclusion, all the aspects addressed here point to the need to revisit the concept of occupational mobility. The two levels at which this study was undertaken are therefore indissociable: the findings made on people’s personal experience of occupational mobility contribute to identifying the epistemological stakes involved in defining the phenomenon in question

S'appuyant sur une démarche quantitative et qualitative auprès d'institutions et d'usagers, cette recherche met en évidence la grande différenciation des Spanc. Celle-ci s'explique par la difficulté, pour les Spanc, de s'imposer dans un jeu d'acteurs complexe et face à des usagers souvent récalcitrants. Notre recherche montre, au final, que la professionnalisation des agents de ces services, qui suppose le développement d'une identité, d'une culture et de pratiques communes, permet de réduire les différences d'application de la politique publique.

A flight simulator is an equipment for pilot training. Its function and fidelity should mostly simulate a real aeroplane. Training with simulators is safe without endangering people and airplanes. Compared with real airplanes, flight simulators are more cost efficient and hence more frequently adopted. Based on Simulator Qualification Test Manual, a flight simulator must comply with Qualification Performance Standard Flight Simulation (according to CAA AC120-013A) and certification Initial and Continuing Qualification in order to train pilots continuingly. A comparison between CAA(AC120-013A), FAA(CFR Part 60), EASA(CS-FSTD(A)) and ICAO(Doc 9625 Third Edition) has been done in this thesis. The results show the different between various regulation systems and can become a reference of regulating flight simulators for aviation authorities. The results could also make contribution for future flight simulator validate.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: The high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) both at the utility and at the distribu-tion levels, has raised concerns about the reliability of grid-tied inverters of PV power systems. Inverters are generally considered as the weak link in PV power systems. The lack of a dedicated qualification/reliability standard for PV inverters is a main barrier in realizing higher level of confidence in reliability. Development of a well-accepted design qualification standard specifically for PV inverters will help pave the way for significant improvement in reliability and performance of inverters across the entire industry. The existing standards for PV inverters such as UL 1741 and IEC 62109-1 primarily focus on safety. IEC 62093 discusses inverter qualification but it includes all the balance of sys-tem components and therefore not specific to PV inverters. There are other general stan-dards for distributed generators including the IEEE1547 series of standards which cover major concerns like utility integration but they are not dedicated to PV inverters and are not written from a design qualification point of view. In this thesis, some of the potential requirements for a design qualification standard for PV inverters are addressed. The IEC 62093 is considered as a guideline and the possible inclusions in the framework for a dedicated design qualification standard of PV inverter are discussed. The missing links in existing PV inverter related standards are identified by performing gap analysis. Dif-ferent requirements of small residential inverters compared to large utility-scale systems, and the emerging requirements on grid support features are also considered. Electric stress test is found to be the key missing link and one of the electric stress tests, the surge withstand test is studied in detail. The use of the existing standards for surge withstand test of residential scale PV inverters is investigated and a method to suitably adopt these standards is proposed. The proposed method is studied analytically and verified using simulation. A design criterion for choosing the switch ratings of the inverter that can per-form reliably under the surge environment is derived.Dissertation/Thesis

The weapon system is fundamental in national defense and the weapon system requires a series of environmental tests before deployment. The purpose of environmental test is to ensure that the weapon system can operate normally in different environments throughout the life cycle. In other words, the design margin of the hardware can be realized by environmental qualification test. In the past, when the product failed after the environmental test, there are two ways to correct the failure; re-design and select different parts to replace the original one. It wastes not only a lot of manpower, but also time waste. However, the failure might be random one that is irrelevant to design or part selection. If repair is carried out immediately and re-design is skipped after product failure, many manhours and a investment will be saved. This study used tree diagrams from QC 7-method tools to analyze the development process of the project A. The discussion is divided into four parts. First of all, this study finds the weak point of the original process and modify it. Secondly, this study explores the number of subjects, the test sequence, and the re-verified process of the environmental qualification test. Thirdly, according to the U.S military standard, this study establishes a new process that should be followed when the product fails in the environmental test. The process is implemented for the project A and its benefit evaluated. Finally, the new process is included in the environmental specification, so that it can be followed by other similar project.

The main goal of the thesis is to find out the subjective perception of the quality of the main leader's educational course and its practical benefits for graduates and to analyze the theoretical content/content part of the course itself. Based on these findings, the work formulates proposals for possible changes to qualification standard issued by the National Qualifications Framework with effect from December 2015, which is the basis for accreditation of the course and its design. The theoretical part of the final work discusses the importance of professionalization in adult education, its impact on the quality of education and the importance of the profession. Nor does it omit the legislative requirements governing further adult education.

Full textAbstract:
Dissertation submitted in compliance with the requirements for the Master's Diploma in Technology: Food and Nutrition, Technikon Natal, 1992.To date, the hospitality industry, and in particular the food service industry, has a notoriously high turnover of staff, as well as a general shortage of qualified personnel. This factor, as well as the announcement in 1989 by the South African Government to privatise certain of its catering services over a period of three years caused the authorities to express concern over the lack of trained food staff for the future. Believing that technikons have the infrastructure to qualify culinarians, but that distorted images, prejudices and misconceptions surround technikon education as well as a cUlinary career, this study was undertaken to identify the factors that influence school leavers' choices of study institutions and attitudes towards studying for a food career at Technikon Natal. A theoretical substructure lays the foundation for the study. The literature review in chapter two outlines the historical development of technikons, as well as culinary careers in South Africa, placing special emphasis on the status and image of technikons and food careers. The methodology in chapter three explains the structuring and administration of the questionnaire used to capture data from six randomly selected high schools in the greater Durban area. The processed data results are discussed in chapter four. Table are presented at the conclusion of each group of major issues. These issues include pupils' anticipated study plans, choices of careers and study institutions, and the influence that individuals and other sources may have had on the formation of their attitudes and resultant choices of careers and study institutions. The pupils' attitudes towards studying for a career in the food service industry is thereafter reported on in detail. The results indicated that parents have the greatest influence on career and institution choice although it was found that they provide relatively little information on educational institutions. On the other hand, school teacher-counsellors are found to provide the most information on educational institutions but have far less influence regarding the choice of the educational institution than parents do. Technikon Natal and careers in food are generally positively perceived, but ignorance concerning the academic nature of the Technikon as well as the food diplomas is still evident and needs to be addressed. The study revealed information that could be used to combat ignorance and misconceptions thereby increasing the quantity of applications and subsequent quality of students for both Technikon Natal and the food service industry.

The present study is intended to compare the qualification standards and training systems of early childhood education teachers between the United States and Taiwan. The official documents and relative printed in both countries were collected and used as the data base for comparison.The similarities as well as differences of both systems were summarized and interpreted from the viewpoint of professional orientations. Then, some suggestions were proposed to Taiwanese authority for the future discussion of related policies. The comparative approach taking in this research wais barrowed from Bereday’s four steps of comparison. After the standards of comparison were established, the similarities and differences of both systems were carefully evaluated and compared. Finally, the comments were made by the researcher. The comments could divide into four parts: 1.teacher education institution (the level of institution and training time); 2.The selective of training student(the ways and standards of selective); 3.teacher education curriculum(content and credit of curriculum); 4.identity the standard of qualification(the standard of academic, curriculum requires and certification). The substantial suggestions proposed by this study included :1.riporing the identity of the standards of qualification for early childhood education professional;2. build the license for early childhood education professionals; 3.integrate the way of teacher education training; 4.implemention second examination for professional early childhood education teachers; 5.earring multiple selection approaches for early childhood education professionals ;6.building professional qualification and examine system;7.establishing professional assessment institution.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the link between teachers’ inputs and process and students’ academic achievement in Junior Secondary Certificate (JSC) Mathematics for the period 2006 to 2010.The outcome (teacher effectiveness) was obtained by means of value added measures (students’ aggregate JSC Mathematics scores for 2006 to 2010 by school). One hundred and fifty JSC schools out of a total of 573 constituted the units of analysis for the study. The data regarding teachers were obtained by means of self-administered questionnaires, and JSC Mathematics results from 2006 to 2010 were obtained from the Directorate of National Examinations and Assessment (DNEA).
Multi-correlation and regression techniques at alpha =0.001; 0.05 and 0.10 were used to analyse the link between teachers’ inputs and processes, and students’ academic achievement in JSC Mathematics. The null hypotheses formulated for the study were tested at the 0.05 (5%) level of significance. In summary, it appears that the various aspects of teachers’ inputs (teachers’ educational qualifications, teaching experience, subject specialisation etc.), processes (standards-based professional development, standards-based classroom activities, and classroom management beliefs) are related to students’ academic achievement in JSC Mathematics. In particular, a linear combination of the following variables had a significant and positive association with students’ academic achievement in JSC Mathematics: teachers’ major in Mathematics (teachers’ inputs); teachers’ usage of whole class discussion (standards-based classroom activities); perceived knowledge of algebra; teachers’ professional development in interdisciplinary instruction; teachers’ review of students’ homework/assignments; and students talking to other students about how to solve mathematics problems. Teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) in general, and some classroom practices were not significantly related to students’ academic achievements. This study, therefore, recommends that teachers’ professional development should focus on the subject matter that the teachers will be teaching, as well as alignment of teachers’ learning opportunities with real work experience using actual curriculum materials and assessment.Educational Studies

The promulgation of the South African Qualifications Authority Act, 1995, will transform the way in which learning is designed, developed, implemented, managed, assessed and evaluated. Many different organisations, institutions, industries and sectors understand the guiding principles and concepts of this Act but are grappling with all the forces and factors that impact and influence the implementation of the Act. The Act introduces the National Qualifications Framework, which will impact on learning and present many challenges and opportunities for education and training and development practitioners in South Africa. Because of the newness of this Act, many organisations, institutions, industries and sectors are in the process of waiting until all the relevant South African Qualifications Authority structures are in place before embarking upon some sort of action. Traditionally, most learning has been 'inputs' based (course content, course duration, course entrance requirements and course methodology). The South African Qualifications Authority Act, 1995, will refocus learning to 'outputs' (outcomes), with a fundamental shift in thinking about the way in which learning is designed, developed, implemented, assessed and evaluated. This shift may be described as "it does not matter where, when or how one learns, but what one learns, why one learns and if one has learnt". The South African Qualifications Authority Act, 1995, will also transform learning organisations in the way they plan and do things. The seven automobile manufacturers, together with the National Union of Metal Workers of South Africa (NUMSA), are challenged with these paradigm shifts. This dissertation was therefore concerned with these central issues in 'operationalising' the principles and concepts of the National Qualifications Framework within the automobile industry. The study revealed that most of the organisations in the automobile industry: • Are not well enough informed about the latest developments of the South African Qualifications Authority; • Do not necessarily have access to current, relevant and reliable information about the National Qualifications Framework; • Are all dedicated to uplifting the knowledge, skills and abilities of their staff through their 'multi-skilling model' for education and training and development; and • Support the underlying principles and concepts of the National Qualifications Framework. The automobile industry is therefore presented with many challenges and opportunities for the provision of education, training and development. Some challenges and opportunities for the automobile industry are: • The need to refocus education and training and development programmes/projects to ensure national alignment and international comparability; • The need to develop education, training and development staff in line with the 10 education, training and development practitioner roles; • The need to keep abreast with national initiatives impacting education and training and development.Thesis (M.Ed.) - University of Durban-Westville, 1998.

The goal is also to formulate these standards in line with the processes of the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA). The following four forms of pastoral work were distinguished and discussed: Mutual care, Pastoral care, Pastoral counselling, and Pastoral therapy. The Accreditation Committee proposed the following sub-fields: Human and Social Studies (Field 07): Religious and ethical foundation of society (sub-field).

After narrow consultation the level descriptors were discussed and accepted. As all proposals this will still be open for changes. The following roles were described using the format of a Qualification based on Unit Standards. Unit Standards are linked to the proposed six "roles" which are seen as generic to all Pastoral Counselling practices:
Maintain effective relational and communication competence, Apply and maintain professional work ethics, Plan and facilitate pastoral counselling process, Engage in an effective personal development process, Design and conduct course of treatment, Conduct research, The roles and applied competencies for the pastoral counselling/therapy specialised field were defined. These roles may be used to re-shape current qualifications, as well as to research and design new qualifications. They are intended as initial guidelines for providers. The following registered categories for pastoral counsellors/therapists were proposed by the accreditation committee and accepted by SAAP:
Category 1: Basic level pastoral counsellor (NQF Level 2)
Category 2: Post basic level pastoral counsellor (NQF level 3)
Category 3: Intermediate level pastoral counsellor (NQF Level 4)
Category 4: Advanced level pastoral therapist (NQF Level 5/6)
Category 5: Specialist level pastoral therapist (NQF Level 7 /8)
The following outcomes (unit standards) for Pastoral Counsellors/Therapists were identified:
UNIT 1: Applying work ethics
UNIT 2: Understanding pastoral counselling theory
UNIT 3: Facilitating pastoral counselling skills
UNIT 4: Conducting research
UNIT 5: Developing self-knowledge
Some of the recommendations were: It became necessary to have some form of regulation and/or even "control" to prevent the abuse of people who ostensibly suffer from mental illness. To establish professional standards for training in pastoral counselling and
to obtain professional recognition for pastoral counsellors/therapists
through accreditation and recognition from a relevant professional
council. In doing this we should also come to an agreement on a proper set of work ethics. It was recommend that the level descriptors should be further elaborated through a careful analysis of the standards proposed, but that the process of moving from general to specific descriptors should be adopted in the absence of meaningful generic level descriptors. It was recommend that the proposed standards and qualifications should only be adopted once processes is established where an SGB has been established and registered with SAQA, and these standards and qualifications have been accepted by providers, professional Pastoral Counsellors/Therapists, professional associations, etc.Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology

Full textAbstract:
This study centres on curriculum development for a master craftsman level in the Printing, Newspaper and
Packaging Industries which is didactically sound and takes cognisance of the dynamic vocational education
and training milieu in which it occurs. Curriculum and curriculum development is viewed from a systems
perspective and incorporates the specific andragogic didactic needs of the learner target group as well as
the unique needs of an industrial sector.
Because the National Qualification Framework model advocates an outcomes-based approach to
curriculum development this necessitated the identification of a suitable standards generating process to
articulate the master craftsman unit standards into a qualification capable of being recognised by the
National Qualification Framework. The nature and complexity of the underpinning knowledge, skills and
competencies for the master craftsman level were quantified and qualified by means of skills and
competency profiling and the development of a job outcome taxonomy of skills, knowledge and attributes
which incorporated critical cross field and fundamental skills, and their underpinning knowledge
requirements.
Using aspects ofvarious vocational education and training models and empirical research course content
was sourced, evaluated and developed into appropriate modules of learning that are congruent with the
accepted competency based modular training system used in the Industries. Course maps that integrate
theory and practice were developed with multi skilling milestones linked to learner certification.
Evaluation of resources for the delivery of the Master Craftsman Programme was facilitated by means of
a provider quality assessment and accreditation system. The interactive teaching-learning situation and the
evaluation processes and procedures were developed to enhance the assessment of applied competencies
in the world of work. A pilot study and unit standards generating activities are to be used as a means of
implementing and institutionalising the master craftsman curriculum.
The findings of this study revealed that by viewing the curriculum from a systems perspective and using a
suitable curriculum development model a creative master craftsman curriculum development process could
take place. The competency profiling technique and taxonomy of competencies, skills, knowledge and
attributes enabled the curriculum process to be a top-down approach which is outcomes-based.Didactics

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Engineering, 11 August 2015This research set out to investigate two relationships; the relationship between technical qualifications and emerging contractor project performance, and the relationship between experience and emerging contractor project performance. The focus was on emerging contractors in the public sector. This study was motivated by the notion that emerging contractors generally fail and have poor project performance. The objective of the report was to determine the general factors that affect emerging contractor performance and demonstrate the relationship between competence and project performance. Information pertaining to progress and performance for thirty projects from a government institution in Mpumalanga Province was collected. This information included contact details of the contractors who conducted the 30 government infrastructure projects. The contact details were used to collect contractors’ curriculum vitaes and company profiles in order to extract information on qualifications and experience. Literature has shown that the most prevalent issues facing emerging contractors in South Africa can be attributed to the contractors’ competencies. These competencies include skills, experience, qualifications and project management knowledge. Other factors that affect emerging contractor performance include project delays caused by late payments by clients, shortage of labour and lack of financial resources and equipment. The results of this study showed that contractors with technical qualifications and experience generally perform better than those with no technical background. It was also found that where there is no technical background, the level of education also affects the level of project performance. This study demonstrated the importance of the number of technical or construction related projects conducted by an emerging contractor company as compared to the number of years that the company has been in operation. The number of projects conducted, regardless of timeline, is more beneficial to project performance than the number of years in operation in the construction industry. This study recommends that focus should be drawn to the definite need to develop emerging contractor competence through skills development, training, collaborations and knowledge sharing. Competence development should focus on transferring technical knowledge and experience through policy formulation, collaboration of government and educational or training institutes. Focus should also be drawn to developing project management competence of emerging contractors in the South African public sector.

Kinder mit Sprachentwicklungsstörungen haben besondere Bildungsbedürfnisse. Didaktisch-methodische Entscheidungen für die Unterrichtsgestaltung müssen sich an den individuellen Lernvoraussetzungen auszurichten, um einen erfolgreichen Bildungsprozess, z.B. im Bereich der Schriftsprache, sicherzustellen. Sowohl in Förderschulen, als auch im Hinblick auf die Gestaltung Gemeinsamen Unterrichts ist damit die Frage nach den Qualitätsmerkmalen eines Unterrichtsangebotes für sprachbeeinträchtigte Kindern von hoher Relevanz. Hierzu liegen vielfach konzeptuelle Überlegungen und vereinzelt auch Befragungen vor, jedoch keine Untersuchungen mit einem systematisch entwickelten Instrument.
Ausgehend vom Angebot-Nutzungs-Modell des Unterrichts (Helmke 2009) und Merkmalen allgemein guten Unterrichts wurden Experten befragt hinsichtlich der Merkmale, die sie für die Gestaltung von Bildungsprozessen sprachbeeinträchtigter Kinder für besonders bedeutsam halten (Theisel & Glück 2012). Diese Ergebnisse fanden Eingang in einen Fragebogen, der bundesweit an sonderpädagogische Lehrkräfte verteilt wurde, die unabhängig vom Lernort mit sprachbeeinträchtigten Kindern unterrichtlich tätig sind. Im Vergleich mit den Angaben von Grundschullehrkräften lässt sich zeigen, wie einzelne Subskalen des Fragebogens auf spezifische Gestaltungsmerkmale des Unterrichts hinweisen, wie sie für die Arbeit mit sprachbeeinträchtigten Kindern typisch sind.
Im Rahmen der KiSSES-Studie in B.-W. wurde die Schulleistungsentwicklung der Kinder im Längsschnitt verfolgt. Gleichzeitig wurden die Lehrkräfte nach Prozessmerkmalen ihres Unterrichts befragt. Es lassen sich Zusammenhänge zwischen einzelnen Bereichen der Schulleistung (Mathematik, Lesen, Schreiben) und Unterrichtsmerkmalen zeigen, die die Kriteriumsvalidität und Reliabilität des entwickelten Instrumentes deutlich machen.

Este tema foi escolhido por ser de extrema importância, para a área de Educação Física Escolar, pois percebe-se a necessidade que essa temática venha a ser mais desenvolvida, utilizada e comentada no meio profissional, porque foi percebido em seus resultados que o conhecimento é bastante superficial assim como a utilização dos mesmos. É diante disso que a promoção de praticas de valorização, conscientização e eficácia das normas por profissionais, órgãos e instituições, quer sejam elas públicas ou privadas virão a trazer melhorias em todos os aspectos tanto para a profissão, quanto para o profissional resultando em melhor formação para seus alunos. Foi observado com a pesquisa, que a maior parte dos profissionais pesquisados tem conhecimento das normas, porém de forma básica e que estes profissionais não seguem essas normas a princípio, tão pouco fazem a observância delas nas praticas profissionais no seu ambiente de trabalho. A realização dessa pesquisa foi de grande valia para a comunidade acadêmica, pois trata-se de um estudo pioneiro e inovador, que através dele outras pesquisas poderão surgir, pois a temática é profunda e extensa a ser cada vez mais abordada em todos os âmbitos de educação e formação profissional.
This dissertation aimed to analyze the level of knowledge and awareness of physical education professionals in the city of Joao Pessoa in the state of Paraíba as the rules governing their profession and the use of their practical experiences in the school environment in the exercise of their profession. This theme was chosen because it is of utmost importance to the area of physical education, because we see the need for this theme will be further developed, used and commented in professional circles, because it was perceived in its results that knowledge is rather shallow well as the use thereof. It is on this that the promotion of valuation practices, awareness and effectiveness of standards for professionals, agencies and institutions, whether public or private will bring improvements in every aspect both for the profession, and for the professional resulting in improved training for their students. Was observed to the survey, the majority of professionals surveyed are aware of the rules, but the basic shape and that these professionals do not follow these rules at first, so do little observance of them in professional practices in the workplace. The realization of this research was of great value to the academic community because it is a pioneering and innovative study that through it other research could arise because the subject is deep and extensive to be increasingly addressed in all areas of education and vocational training.

Full textAbstract:
In a rapidly changing and competitive world organisations need to develop and improve their performance continuously to ensure a competitive advantage. Organisations need to determine their current status of performance constantly and identify organisational strengths and areas where improvements can be made. Periodic organisational self-assessments are therefore required to measure current management and operations policies, practices and procedures, in order to enhance overall business performance rather than solely concentrating on the quality of products or services.
Traditionally, external inspections were more commonly used by educational and training institutions for the evaluation of institution and learner performance. These institutions are today taking part in a growing drive for internal self-evaluation, arising from the desire of institutions and Education, Training and Development (ETD) practitioners to assess their own performances. Self-assessment as part of an endeavour to sustain continuous improvement is therefore also appropriate for ETD providers in the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).
A new defence dispensation and a changing ETD environment in South Africa have created new demands on ETD providers in the SANDF. Although training units within the SANDF may function in a unique military context, national legislation relevant to ETD and the latest approach of openness and transparency into matters of the Department imply that military as well as non-military ETD in the SANDF is to be closely aligned with national training and development initiatives. As legislation does not make a distinction between military and private ETD providers in South Africa, most traditionally assumed differences are no longer relevant.
A case study explored the appropriateness of conducting organisational self-assessment as component of a Continuous Performance Improvement Strategy and Quality Assurance within the SANDF. The study also investigated the usefulness of a Total Quality Management approach to quality assurance in the ETD environment and the impact of the frameworks used, available assessment instruments and the selected assessment methods on the significance of organisational self-assessment by ETD providers.
This study's investigation of the appropriateness and significance of regular organisational self-assessments by training units in the SANDF thus has broader implications, as recommendations are also applicable to other ETD providers.Educational Studies
