This study was guided by two principal goals. First, the intent of the researcher was to contribute substantively to the theoretical literature on the study of resilience. Next, an intervention program based on these theoretical contributions was developed, implemented, and evaluated to gauge the relevance of emerging understandings for clinical practice. To conduct this line of inquiry, and in the hope of helping those at risk, the intellectual context of life span developmental psychology, in which all further comments have been grounded, is framed. Next, an understanding of what is meant by resilience and its related constructs is conveyed. Following, the concept of self-understanding is discussed as a potential mediating or protective factor in the service of resilience. The case has been made for conceptualizing the processes of resilience and the role of self-understanding as part of the more basic and universal human drive to create meaning. Following this discussion, a plan of inquiry is described that focuses on an intervention designed to enhance self-understanding among a population of adolescents in the service of resilience. In particular, within the context of a comprehensive developmental counseling program consultation, a psychoeducational group intervention targeting adolescents facing a significant educational transition was the focus of this descriptive study. Findings indicate that over the time period during which the group intervention was implemented, student participants tended to show similarly improved scores on the Self-Perception Inventory, resulting in similar growth trajectories. While none of the fixed predictors (e.g., gender, ethnicity, or scholarship/nonscholarship) accounted in a statistically significant way for the variation observed, initial status was shown to be a statistically significant predictor. These findings suggest that further research may be warranted to explore the efficacy of the overall developmental counseling program as well as the specific intervention that was the focus of the study. In the concluding discussion, original theoretical contributions have been reevaluated, and recommendations for further study, including empirical, descriptive, and theoretical efforts, are put forth.

Full textA presente tese de doutorado tem por objetivo analisar criticamente a construção pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal de significados para o direito ao silêncio – ou melhor, a garantia de vedação de auto-incriminação – que constitui uma garantia processual penal de assento constitucional. Foram identificados e analisados todos os acórdãos proferidos pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal acerca do tema a fim de examinar os argumentos utilizados na fundamentação das decisões que delimitam o conteúdo da referida garantia,, desde a promulgação da Constituição de 1988 até o dia 31 de dezembro de 2007, para identificar como o Supremo Tribunal Federal construiu um significado que fosse aquém ou além da simples interpretação gramatical da Constituição. A escolha da vedação de autoincriminação como objeto de estudo é resultado do reconhecimento de que essa garantia desempenha um papel estruturante na construção de um sistema punitivo compatível com um Estado democrático de direito. O exame dos julgados indica que esse conteúdo foi construído por meio de diferentes recursos, como o uso de precedentes jurisprudenciais de cortes internacionais e a interpretação a partir dos tratados internacionais de direitos humanos. Mas, sobretudo, o Supremo Tribunal Federal lançou mão do uso de argumentos principiológicos como forma de aproximar o texto constitucional (e o infraconstitucional) dos valores que animam um Estado democrático de direito.
This doctoral thesis aims to examine and criticize the construction by the Brazilian Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal, STF) of a concept to the right to silence – or rather, the privilege against self-incrimination – which is a criminal procedure guarantee, established in the Brazilian Constitution. All judgments of the Brazilian Supreme Court related to the privilege, since the promulgation of the Constitution (October 5, 1988) until December 31, 2007, were identified and analyzed, seeking to identify in what form the Brazilian Supreme Court defined that privilege (behind or beyond simply grammatical interpretation of the Constitution). Choosing the privilege against selfincrimination as the object of study results of the recognition that this right plays a structural role in the construction of a punitive system compatible with a democratic rule of law. Examination of all cases indicates that the privilege content was built through various resources, such as international courts decisions and international human rights treaties. But above all, the Brazilian Supreme Court has used principles arguments as a way to bring the constitutional text closer to the values that animate a democratic rule of law.

Full textFältet för maskininlärning drar för närvarande massiv uppmärksamhet på grund av framsteg och framgångsrika applikationer som meddelats under de senaste åren. En av dessa applikationer är självkörande fordon. En maskininlärningsmodell kan lära sig att köra ett fordon genom beteendekloning. Beteendekloning använder en experts beteendespår som träningsdata. En modells styrförutsägelser påverkar emellertid efterföljande indata till modellen och således varierar modellens indata utifrån tidigare förutsägelser. Så småningom kan fordonet avvika från expertens beteendespår och misslyckas på grund av att modellen stöter på indata som den inte har tränats på. Det här är problemet med sekventiella förutsägelser. DAGGER och dess förbättring SafeDAGGER är algoritmer som möjliggör att träna modeller i domänen sekventiella förutsägelser. Båda algoritmerna samlar iterativt nya data, aggregerar nya och gamla data och tränar om modeller på alla data för att undvika att katastrofalt glömma tidigare kunskaper. Aggregeringen av data leder till problem med ökande träningstider, ökande minneskrav och kräver att man behåller åtkomst till all tidigare data för alltid. Avhandlingens syfte är att undersöka om SafeDAGGER kan förbättras med stegvis inlärning för att skapa en mer skalbar och flexibel algoritm. Avhandlingen presenterar en förbättrad algoritm som heter EWC-SD, som använder stegvis inlärningsalgoritmen EWC för att skydda en modells tidigare kunskaper och därigenom enbart träna på nya data. Att endast träna på nya data gör det möjligt för EWC-SD att ha lägre träningstider, ökande minneskrav och undvika att lagra gamla data för evigt jämfört med den ursprungliga SafeDAGGER. De olika algoritmerna utvärderas i kontexten självkörande fordon på tre banor i VBS3-simulatorn. Resultaten visar att EWC-SD tränad enbart på nya data inte uppnår prestanda likvärdig SafeDAGGER. Ifall en lägger till en repeteringsbuffert som innehåller enbart 23 träningsexemplar till EWC-SD kan den överträffa SafeDAGGER genom att uppnå likvärdig prestanda i hälften så många iterationer. Slutsatsen är att EWC-SD med repeteringsbuffert löser problemen med ökande träningstider, ökande minneskrav samt kravet att alla tidigare data ständigt är tillgängliga som påtvingas av dataaggregering.

Full textThe automated tow placement or filament winding processes of thermoplastic-based composites have been intensively studied in recent years. These studies concerned mainly composites with thermoplastic semi-crystalline matrices as carbon fiber reinforced poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK). The thesis objective is to understand the physical mechanisms taking place in a thermoplastic-based composite during the welding in order to deduce which step governs the welding process and what are the parameters influencing its duration. First, the main properties of matrix of interest for this study were determined, in particular its thermal degradation. The thermal gravimetric analysis thus allowed to evaluate the kinetics of degradation. Secondly, the mechanisms of intimate contact and self-adhesion responsible for welding were studied using models. For this, surface roughness and viscosity measurements were included in the model of intimate contact. The diffusion time of matrix was determined by rheology and integrated into the self-adhesion model. Eventually, the influence of process (time, temperature and pressure) and material (molecular weight and roughness) parameters on the mechanisms of interface formation and its mechanical performance was evaluated experimentally by adhesion tests (wedge test and peeling ) and compared with models

Full textThe international peacebuilding intervention model was conceptualized in the 1990’s by the United Nations. It originates from theoretical approaches within Global Administrative Law that promote a materialist and alienating understanding of the concept of sovereignty and monist theories of international law. Peacebuilding aims at establishing liberal rule of law that fosters democratic good governance and the protection of individual human rights. A close scrutiny of this international peacebuilding framework in two exemplary settings in Sudan (Darfur, the “two areas” of South Kordofan and Blue Nile) allows for an analysis of the general legal regime of the peacebuilding model. In the interest of upholding the state’s rule of law, peacebuilding dismantles any competing infra-state legal order. Such so-called autonomous ‘customary’ orders are theorized here following Italian institutionalism and a formalist approach to law. This enables an understanding of how international law maneuvers the constituent elements of such legal orders. Maneuvering of infra-state customary legal orders is enacted through localized and temporary development and transitional justice programs based on the institution of the “trust”. The peacebuilding model consequently appears as a renewed and fleeting form of internationalized administration of territories borrowing from the League of Nations mandate or the United Nations trust systems. By drawing on customary legal orders, international law alienates the constituent elements therein at the price of an acknowledge paradox: international law denies any legal nature to the customary legal orders with which it interacts on a daily basis

Full textWell before the development of severe alcohol-related neurological complications such as Korsakoff’s syndrome (KS), patients with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) exhibit variable brain damage and cognitive deficits, as well as sleep disturbances. Although it is well established that sleep contributes to brain and cognitive functioning, its involvement in brain damage and cognitive deficits in AUD remains poorly understood. The objective of this thesis was to investigate subjective and objective sleep quality in AUD and KS patients, and its relationships with brain structure and function. Our results show that sleep complaint must be interpreted with regard to the severity of brain alterations and cognitive impairments in AUD and KS patients. Moreover, we showed a high prevalence of sleep apnea in these patients. REM sleep abnormalities are specifically observed in KS patients and related to the severity of memory deficits. Regarding AUD patients, we highlight the contribution of the severity of withdrawal syndrome in slow wave sleep decrease, and its effects on brain and cognitive functioning. Hence, similarities and differences of sleep architecture have been found in the two clinical forms (AUD and KS). These sleep modifications could depend on the severity of alcohol withdrawal and be involved in the pathophysiology of alcohol-related structural brain damage and cognitive impairment. These results encourage evaluating and managing both alcohol withdrawal and sleep modifications to improve patients’ prognosis at discharge from Addiction department

Geotube has been utilized to protect the coastal erosion in European, American and Asian countries for many years with considerable success. It has the advantages of low cost, simple and rapid construction, environmental ecological protection, and can replace the traditional wave breakers for wave absorption measures on the convex dike or offshore levees. This research employs numerical simulation to analyze the pressure and displacement variation produced during the filling process of the Geotube. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software package ABAQUS is used to simulate the response of the sand tube stuffing up process through a two dimensional model. Several major points are discussed in this article: sand tube consolidation through self weight, the process of filling up the sand tube from beginning, completion, and settlement of the sand compaction, data analysis of final pore water pressure and height, etc. Cantre’s actual data (2002) are used to verify ABAQUS simulation model. The changes of several different parameters are adopted as the test values for the model to simulate the sand tube filling process much closer to the actual situation. The physical experiments are compared with the simulation results to verify the optimized height and stuffing pressure of the settled compacted Geotube.

As our society develops and transforms rapidly, services provided by the government should change from time to time in order to meet people’s demand and expectations. Under the impacts of global financial tsunami and European debts, almost all countries are facing fiscal crisis. Our government is also unable to avoid the situation. Taiwan pushes forth the consolidation of City and County to implement the local governance and enhance global competitiveness. However, after the consolidation of five major cities and counties on December 25, 2010, each municipality seemed to show no improvement in its ability of self-financing. Instead, the expanding districts, increasing population and inadequate infrastructures caused insufficient funds. In addition, the Act Governing the Allocation of Government Revenues and Expenditures and Public Debt Act were not amended accordingly. It therefore could not raise the upper limit for debts or allocate central resources to locals for the needs of local governance. Among the five municipalities, Kaohsiung City’s fiscal status ranks the worst. This study thoroughly examines the tax revenue of Kaohsiung City obtained from self-financing, which could be the reference for policy planning. Firstly, this study compares the current status of the following five aspects: local tax revenue, other revenue, central-distributed tax revenue, aid and assistance revenue and raise of public debts. Secondly, this study further analyzed the local tax revenue, the major item of self-financing resources. It especially focused on the changes in tax rates of local taxes (including land and house taxes) and central jurisdiction, prevention of tax base erosion and appraisal of land and houses and local jurisdiction. Suggestions for increasing income and decreasing expenditure are proposed and can be used as the references for fiscal policy. Suggestions of this study include: 1.Complete the amendments for Act Governing the Allocation of Government Revenues and Expenditures and Public Debt Act as soon as possible in order to improve the local government’s fiscal status and assist the local government in implementing administrative policies. 2.Consider the balance of regional development and support the autonomy of local governments when central government implements administrative policies and tax reforms. 3.Fully review the structure of House Tax and Land Value Tax to realize tax equity, ensure social justice and improve the local finance. 4.Improve the real estate appraisal system to achieve tax equity and housing justice and improve local finance. 5.According to the local fiscal needs, the local government should adjust the announced land value rationally and show its determination of improving the finance.

Full textO presente trabalho incide sobre as implicações da utilização de diferentes ferramentas digitais para a consolidação dos conhecimentos da disciplina de História e como a sua utilização pode influenciar o seu autoconceito académico. O trabalho foi desenvolvido na turma do 8º ano de escolaridade, no Colégio Bissaya Barreto, durante a realização do estágio pedagógico referente ao ano letivo 2018/2019. A sociedade em geral vive um conjunto de transformações a que a Escola não pode ficar indiferente. No mundo atual, global e exigente, e estruturado de uma forma complexa, os estudantes necessitam de possuir um conjunto de competências, como a criatividade, o espírito crítico, a colaboração, a iniciativa, a autonomia ou a capacidade de resolução de que lhes permita viver e “sobreviver” nesta nova ordem social, cultural, económica e política. E perante este contexto, torna-se cada vez mais importante articular os curricula escolares com a utilização de tecnologias digitais, como forma de promover estas competências, tal como tem vindo a ser enunciado por entidades internacionais, como o World Economic Forum (WEF) ou a Comissão Europeia que defendem a necessidade de criar novos modelos educomunicacionais, novos ecossistemas e cenários de aprendizagem. É precisamente, um desses novos cenários, enriquecido com diferentes aplicativos digitais – Kahoot, Mentimeter, Plickers e EdPuzzle – que pretendemos analisar neste texto, descrevendo o seu impacto no autoconceito académico de alunos do 3º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, a partir da análise qualitativa das suas perceções e narrativas. Os resultados mostram que este cenário ancorado num modelo centrado na aprendizagem e no desenvolvimento de competências, podem ter efeitos muito positivos no autoconceito académico dos alunos, a nível das diferentes dimensões consideradas: Motivação, Orientação para a tarefa, Confiança nas suas capacidades e Relação com os colegas. São discutidas as implicações dos resultados encontrados, tanto do ponto de vista de intervenção prática, quer em termos de investigações futuras.
This paper deals with the implications of using different digital tools for the consolidation of knowledge in the subject of History and how its use influences the academical self-concept. The project was elaborated in a class from the 8th grade, at the Colégio Bissaya Barreto, during the teacher training internship in the 2018/2019 school year. Society in general lives a set of transformations to which the School cannot remain indifferent. In today's global and demanding world, which is structured in a complex way, students need to have a set of skills such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, initiative, autonomy or resolving power, which will allows them to “survive” in this new social, cultural, economic and political order. Taking this context into account, it is becoming increasingly important to articulate schools’ curriculum with the use of digital technologies as a way to promote the skills mentioned, this has already been stated by international entities such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) or the European Commission, which advocate the need to create new educational models, new ecosystems and learning scenarios. It is precisely one of these new scenarios, enriched with different digital applications - Kahoot, Mentimeter, Plickers and EdPuzzle - that we intend to analyse in this text, describing their impact on the academic self-concept of 3rd cycle students, using the qualitative analysis of the their perceptions and narratives the baseline. The results show that this scenario, anchored on a model which is centered on learning and developing skills, can have very positive effects on students' academic self-concept, when we take into account the various dimensions considered: Motivation, Task orientation, Confidence in their abilities and Relationship with other students. The implications of the findings are discussed, both from the practical intervention point of view and in terms of future investigations.
