En un contexto donde los equipos juegan un papel cada vez más importante, es de gran importancia entender el conflicto y desarrollar herramientas de diagnóstico para evitarlo. Aquí, investigamos empíricamente si es posible predecir cuantitativamente futuros conflictos en equipos pequeños utilizando modelos de estructura de red social. Analizamos los datos de 16 equipos pequeños. Encontramos que los modelos basados en redes complejas anticipan el conflicto exitosamente mientras que los modelos utilizados tradicionalmente no lo hacen. También presentamos un estudio sobre las diferencias de género en el liderazgo. Este estudio tiene como objetivo entender los mecanismos detrás del proceso de evaluación del liderazgo. Analizamos los datos de 45 evaluaciones de líderes (33% mujeres). Encontramos que las mujeres líderes son mejor evaluadas que los líderes masculinos al principio. Más tarde, esta ventaja se desvanece junto con el efecto sorprendente de tener una líder femenino. También encontramos que la agrupación de la red de líderes mujeres crece significativamente más que la agrupación de líderes hombres.In a context where teams play an increasingly important role, it is of major importance to understand conflict and to develop diagnostic tools to avert it. Here, we investigate empirically whether it is possible to quantitatively predict future conflict in small teams using models of social network structure. We analyze data of 16 small teams. We find that models based on complex networks successfully anticipate conflict whereas traditionally used models do not. We also present a study about gender differences on leadership. This study aims to understand the mechanisms behind the leadership evaluation process. We analyze data of 45 leader evaluations (33% women). We find that female leaders are better evaluated than male leaders at the beginning. Later, this advantage vanishes together with the surprising effect of having a female leader. We also find that the network clustering of female leaders grows significantly more than the clustering of male leaders.

This thesis aimed to enhance understanding of the nature of knowledge bases possessed by elite sports performers which underpin perceptual-cognitive and decision making skills. Two main theories were considered; Active Control of Thought (ACT*) and Representational Redescription (RR). The purpose of Study 1 was to examine the anticipatory ability of elite and non-elite players in football and hockey. The results indicated that elite players in both sports were quicker and more accurate in their expectation of pass destination. Study 2 aimed to understand the extent to which knowledge is transferable. The results indicated that elite players’ knowledge is relatively domain specific although some elements of underlying task strategy may transfer. The objective of Study 3 was to explore the means by which elite and non-elite players in football and hockey identify and differentiate between possible decisions. Results showed elite players’ rationale was based on deeper theoretical principles whilst non-experts utilised relatively superficial information and naïve theories. Study 4 focussed on problem representations of elite and non-elite football players. Results revealed elite players’ representations were more pertinent, connected and articulated in a more effective manner. Overall, the findings from the current thesis provide advanced understanding of the knowledge bases responsible for perceptual-cognitive and decision making skill, and such understanding may assist attempts to enhance athletes’ performance and support future research.

Full textAbstract:
La voie Hippo, découverte chez la Drosophile et conservée chez les mammifères, a été identifiée comme un élément essentiel dans le contrôle de la taille des organes. Cette cascade de kinases régule la phosphorylation de l’effecteur terminal YAP (ou de son paralogue TAZ), un coactivateur transcriptionnel reconnu comme oncogène. Sa fonction est médiée par sa translocation nucléaire et son interaction avec les facteurs de transcription TEAD, pour former le complexe YAP-TEAD qui active l’expression des gènes cibles responsable de la prolifération cellulaire et de la croissance des organes. La surexpression des protéines YAP/TAZ/TEAD dans de nombreux cancers perturbe l’équilibre de la voie Hippo et favorise la formation du complexe protéique causant une hyperprolifération et la propagation des cellules cancéreuses. Inhiber cette interaction protéine-protéine est une cible thérapeutique prometteuse pour concevoir de nouveaux anticancéreux. Dans cette optique, le laboratoire a considéré deux stratégies. La première consiste à cibler la protéine YAP en synthétisant des dipyrrines, représentant des fragments de la Vertéporfine dans le but de définir le motif minimal requis pour conserver l’activité biologique. Une seconde approche implique la synthèse de ligands de TEAD capable de se positionner au sein de l’interface 3. Basée sur des études de modélisation moléculaire, une famille avec un noyau central triazolique a été optimisée pour établir des relations structure-activité. Les molécules synthétisées sont actuellement en cours d’évaluation, grâce à la mise au point des tests biologiques et physicochimiques, et les premiers résultats ont permis d’identifier un composé prometteurThe Hippo pathway, firstly described in Drosophila and highly conserved in mammals, has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in the organ size control. This kinase cascade regulates the phosphorylation of the downstream effector YAP (or its paralogue TAZ), a transcriptional coactivator with oncogenic activity. Its function is mediated by its nuclear translocation and interaction with the transcriptional factor TEAD, to form YAP-TEAD complex which activates the genes expression in charge of cell proliferation triggering organ growth. Overexpression of YAP/TAZ/TEAD protein in several cancers disrupts the Hippo pathway balance and urges on YAP-TEAD complex formation causing excessive proliferation and cancer development. Inhibiting this protein-protein interaction is thus a promising therapeutic target for the design of new anti-cancer drugs. In this goal, the laboratory has considered two strategies. The first one consists in targeting the YAP protein by synthesizing dipyrrins, representing Verteporfin fragments to define the minimal requirement yielding the expected biological activity. A second approach involves synthesizing TEAD ligands able to fit in specific interface 3. Based on molecular modeling, a triazole scaffold family was optimized to establish structure-activity relationship. Thanks to the biological and binding tests development, synthesized molecules evaluation is still in progress and the present first results have already allowed identifying a promising compound

Full textAbstract:
This thesis hypothesizes that providing task specific information to individual team members will improve coordination and decision-making, and therefore team performance, at time critical tasks. Major themes addressed in this research include teams and team processes, mental models, team mental models, work domain analysis, and hierarchical task analysis. Furthermore, the theory behind the development of complementary models is introduced. A unique method to identify the information sources and requirements in a complex team environment is first discussed in general and then specifically applied in two domains.
The findings are presented of two experiments examining the effects of imposing different information distribution strategies that range from no complementariness to full complementariness of information. Team communication, team and individual task performance, workload, and timeliness and effectiveness of team decision making were assessed in nominal and off-nominal conditions. The first experiment used an automobile simulator and examined team navigation while driving. A second experiment was designed to incorporate additional measures to more specifically investigate individual performance, team workload, and clarity of information requirements using a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter simulator. The procedures used for both experiments provided for dynamic yet controlled environments through which critical factors that influence team process and performance could be evaluated accurately.
Results of these experiments provide empirical evidence that providing task relevant information to individual team members in a time critical environment, while limiting their access to non-relevant information, improves individual and team performance. Furthermore, there is evidence of increased individual performance that indicates this method of distributing information among team members may provide individual crewmembers with a more accurate task relevant mental model of their own environment. This research provides new insight into how the distribution of information among team members effects the development of mental models, information requirements, team and individual performance, and communications, and highlights several directions for future research.
The information distribution design principles presented in this thesis address the heterogeneity of teams; teams cannot be thought of as groups of identical individuals. The results concerning the communication, workload, performance and team of mental models were consistent across the domains in this research.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 89).
The automatic transmission is a very complex system in a modern automobile with several hundred components performing mechanical, hydraulic and electronic functions. System integration and attribute management are key challenges in the design and development of an automatic transmission. The system and sub system team structure can play a key part in the success of this development. A properly structured team can enhance the communication between the engineers designing the individual components, ensure that all interfaces between the components are properly managed and appropriate design actions are in place for best in class attributes. This thesis analyzes the current team structure and composition that is in place in the Automatic Transmission Division at Ford Motor Company and offers recommendations to improve the composition to better align the sub system teams with the actual workings of the transmission. The main tool that is used to enable this work is the Design Structure Matrix (DSM). Communication between individual team members is compared to components that physically touch or exchange energy through hydraulic means, or exchange electrical signals and preferred team compositions for effectively engineering these sub systems are proposed. The efficacy of these teams to manage attributes like noise and shift quality is also discussed.

Emergency response team (ERT) member characteristics that contribute to High Reliability performance during patient care resuscitation events or other Critical Incident Management Situations are poorly understood. Findings from this study describe individual characteristics that experienced interprofessional ERT members perceive as contributing to High Reliability performance within the critical incident management context. This study supports the need for interprofessional research about emergency response teams’ High Reliability in hospital-based settings. ERT High Reliability, or “better than expected” team performance has been linked to overall patient care and safety. The purpose of this study was to identify and describe individual team member characteristics that contribute to High Reliability performance of ERT members and the overall emergency response team in a naturalistic setting during Critical Incident Management Situations. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data collection included participant observations, field notes, and interviews. Narrative data were audio-taped, transcribed and coded using Ethnograph v6©. Data content were analyzed thematically using inductive interpretive methods. Two major domains derived from the data were Self-Regulation and Whole-Team Regulation. The overarching theme, Orchestrating High Reliability at the Edge of Chaos, encompassed characteristics contributing to High Reliability performance of the ERT during Critical Incident Management Situations.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet l’œuvre du poète britannique Ted Hughes et se concentre sur la question de l’accomplissement de l’être et du langage. Le poète décrit le parcours de l’homme du « logos », héritier de Socrate et de Descartes, criminel châtié pour avoir voulu, par la seule force de son esprit, se faire maître et possesseur de son corps et de la nature tout entière. La mythologie personnelle que Ted Hughes développe dans son œuvre poétique et critique lui permet d’y tracer l’infini cheminement du sujet humain qui, reconnaissant ses torts envers la Déesse de l'Être Complet, sa Terre-Mère et sa Fiancée Sacrée, à la fois Reine des Enfers et Fleur du Paradis, renonce à tout et accepte de s’offrir en un don absolu. C’est par cette métamorphose qu’a lieu l’ultime et inespéré « miracle poétique » qui révèle le noyau vital, divin et insondable de l’être poétique. Il faut, selon le poète, parler comme les animaux et les oiseaux, qui, bien au-delà des mots des hommes, parviennent à faire valoir la vérité de l’existence dans ce qu’elle a de plus « étrange, beau, pathétique et terrible ». Il faut comprendre la musique silencieuse du vent, de l’herbe et des pierres : ils portent la vérité ineffable d’une Déesse sans nom, « Annonciation de glaise, d’eau et de soleil » ou « crocus évangile » qui impose à l’homme de tout risquer et de s’offrir sans réserve. C’est le don du funambule errant qui danse sur un fil infini comme s’il était déjà mort : il connaît la douceur de l’agonie et la douleur de l’extase, il en a fait sa plaie noire et son joyau arc-en-ciel, magie de poésie qui fonde le cœur insondable de l’être et du langageThis thesis explores Ted Hughes’s poetic work and focuses on the question of the completion of being and of language. The poet sheds light on the man of ‘logos’, heir to Socrates and Descartes, criminal because he wanted, by the sole force of his rational mind, to own and control the outer world of nature and to be the master of the inner world of his individuality, body and soul alike. The myths and stories that fill Ted Hughes’s poetic and critical work trace the trajectory of a human being who has acknowledged the harm he has done and asks for forgiveness to the Goddess of Complete Being, both his Mother-Earth and Sacred Bride, both Queen of Hell and Flower of Paradise. As he surrenders to her unconditionally, an ultimate and ‘last-ditch miracle’ occurs, one that reveals his true and divine ‘self at the source’, his ‘vital nucleus’ and ‘the most inaccessible thing of all’. According to the poet, one should speak like the animals and the birds that, far beyond human words, manage to ‘express this being pure and without effort’ and a truth ‘at the core of us – strange, beautiful, pathetic, terrible’. One should decipher the inaudible music of the wind, the grass and the rocks, because it bears the truth of a nameless Goddess, the ‘Annunciation of clay, water and sunlight’, or the ‘crocus evangels’, which tell man that he should take all the risks throughout his journey. The human being that the poet describes has a black wound on his body and a rainbow jewel in his soul; he has been through the softness of agony and the sorrows of ecstasy – and thus he feels the inmost core of being and of language, and the secret of the magic spell cast by poetry

The use of multidisciplinary team approach has become one of the preferred service
deliveries to help children and young people with high and complex needs. However,
there has been little empirical research in this area, particularly within the New
Zealand context. Further, a common problem in the existing studies is the use of
subjective rating scales or self reports to collect data. Therefore the aim of this study
is to describe the team processes of three intersectoral teams in the New Zealand High
and Complex Needs Unit using objective data collection method, as well as exploring
particular issues associated with the three teams. Valid instruments were developed in
order to record the meeting behaviour as frequency tally and the participants were
interviewed to seek their views on the issues associated with their team. The results
suggested that the teams engaged in positive team behaviour 82% to 93% of the
meeting duration and negative meeting behaviour were observed during 2% to 5% of
the meeting times. Further, the teams spent just under half of the meeting time in
proposing and discussing goals and strategies. The teams were able to reach decisions
and distributed responsibilities in less than 6 minutes. More than half of the
participants had positive attitudes towards collaborative work and considered the team
meetings as an effective mechanism for problem-solving and plan evaluation. The
facilitators and the barriers identified in this study are consistent with the literature.
Implications for future practice and research are discussed.

Poulos, Nicholas. "The influence of complex training design on post-activation performance enhancement of explosive performance in team sport athletes." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2022. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/2531.
Full textAbstract:
Post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) is a phenomenon characterised by the acute enhancement of muscular performance consequent to prior voluntary, dynamic contractile activity, and is the premise underpinning complex training (CT). CT involves alternating a conditioning stimulus (CS) with a lighter load biomechanically similar ballistic exercise (complex-pair), separated by a defined intra-complex recovery interval. One of the key benefits of CT is the ability to train both extremes of the forcevelocity curve within a single training session, offering a potentially efficient and effective means of augmenting both acute explosive muscular performance and chronic training adaptations in maximal strength and power. The challenge for sports practitioners is to design CT protocols that facilitate PAPE of muscular power characteristics of the individual athlete within the constraints of a team sport environment. Consideration of the factors that modulate the expression of PAPE in the design of CT protocols is essential. Specifically, consideration of the mode, volume, and intensity of the CS, the intra-complex and inter-set recovery, and the influence of athlete strength characteristics is required. More importantly, the influence of performing multiple complex-sets, the effect of sequencing lower and upper body complex-sets, and the impact of performing ancillary exercise within the intra-complex recovery on the expression of PAPE warrants attention.
Purpose: The primary purpose of this series of studies was to investigate the influence of CT protocol design and the factors that modulate the expression of PAPE of acute explosive performance in developing and trained team sport athletes. Outcomes arising from this work are aimed at providing a practical framework for sports practitioners to better inform the design and implementation of CT protocols in high-performance strength and conditioning programs.
Methodology: The first study examined the effect of CS intensity on the magnitude of PAPE of countermovement jump (CMJ) performance over multiple complex-sets and further investigated if athlete relative strength level is a criterion for identifying responders to PAPE. The second experimental study addressed the parameters of CS mode and intensity in CT session design, examining the efficacy of varying load jump squats (JS) on acute drop jump (DJ) performance. Lastly, the third experimental study investigated the effect of CT session design on PAPE of loaded JS and ballistic bench throws (BBT)—more specifically, if manipulating the sequence of upper and lower body complex-sets and interspersing ancillary exercise within the intra-complex recovery period modified the expression of any PAPE.
Results: CMJ peak jump height was enhanced in response to both moderate intensity (65% 1-RM) and high intensity (87% 1-RM) conditioning stimuli. PAPE of several DJ kinetic and kinematic variables following JS performed at both 30% and 50% 1-RM back squat loads was observed, however, the frequency and magnitude of PAPE was greatest in athletes following the 30% 1-RM CS load. Small magnitudes of PAPE were observed in various JS and BBT kinetic and kinematic variables in each of the three CT protocols examined, yet no clear or consistent performance benefit was present across sets. Associations between relative strength and PAPE are dependent on CS intensity and CT protocol design.
Conclusions: The most important finding of this thesis is that the sequencing of multiple lower and upper body complex-sets and the performance of ancillary exercise within the intra-complex recovery are not detrimental to subsequent explosive performance. Furthermore, PAPE of JS and DJ performance is achievable with a range of CS intensities and appears to be dominant in variables with a prevalent eccentric component. Finally, the influence of relative strength on the expression of PAPE is dependent on CT session design. The application of CT has merit in training team sport athletes and affords practitioners the ability to provide both heavy-resistance and ballistic training stimuli in a time efficient manner.

This project was a step forward in the examination and identification of key variables on the perception, decision making and action of team sport athletes through theoretical insights provided by the ecological dynamics perspective. The methodology drew on experiential knowledge of elite coaches to drive further empirical investigation into the specific task, environmental and personal constraints that shape the behaviour of athletes in specific performance contexts. The thesis has provided an effective rationale for further investigation into the emergent perception, decision making and action demanded of athletes in these unpredictable, fluent, fast-paced environments.

Improvisational Leadership: A Descriptive Case Study of the Complex Problem-Solving Experiences of a High-Functioning Federal Government Interdisciplinary Team This study described the symbiotic relationship between shared leadership, organizational improvisation, and symbolic interactionism in generating improvisational leadership vis a vis the complex problem-solving experiences of a high-functioning federal government interdisciplinary team of six veterinarians. The study had a dual goal orientation: (a) to describe members' experiences of complex problem-solving; and (b) to describe how members shared leadership during these experiences. The grand tour question for this study was: What is the nature of improvisational leadership via the complex problem-solving experiences of a high-functioning federal government interdisciplinary team?
The purpose of this study was to describe the nature of improvisational leadership in the complex problem-solving experiences of a high-functioning federal government interdisciplinary team. This study observed that by virtue of their interdisciplinary-interdependent expertise, members were perpetually engaged in interactive knowledge exchange. The research revealed that the medium for these exchanges was polylogue or concurrent, multidirectional, ongoing conversations among the members. The study determined that through this level of discourse and interactivity in real-time, the foci remained on the situation specific needs and in turn placed the needed expertise in the leadership position/role.
The study was designed to broaden understanding concerning the nature of improvisational leadership via the complex problem-solving experiences of a high-functioning federal government interdisciplinary team through describing leadership as an emergent consequence of the needs of the moment, the actions and interactions among members, and the available material, cognitive, affective, and social resources brought to bear in process.

Full textAbstract:
La déchirure musculaire est la première cause de blessure chez les athlètes. De nombreuses études décrivent ce traumatisme musculaire sans parvenir à en identifier clairement la chronologie et ses circonstances. L’objectif de la thèse est de décrire le phénomène de déchirure musculaire avec la méthode des éléments discrets, en s’appuyant sur des essais expérimentaux pour valider les modèles numériques. Dans une première partie, une revue de littérature permet d’acquérir les propriétés mécaniques des différents éléments constituant le complexe musculo-tendineux afin de pouvoir en réaliser un modèle macroscopique. Dans une deuxième partie, la modélisation du complexe musculo-tendineux est réalisée. La validation du comportement mécanique en traction passive du modèle proposé est réalisée en comparaison des travaux de L-L. Gras sur le muscle sternocléidomastoïdien humain. L’influence des paramètres morphologiques sur le comportement mécanique global est ensuite étudiée. La rupture fait l’objet de la troisième partie. Une modélisation de l’ensemble {tendon d’Achille/triceps sural} est réalisée et soumise à un test de traction passif jusqu’à rupture. La validation des résultats est faite vis-à-vis des essais expérimentaux réalisés sur cet ensemble musculaire provenant de pièces anatomiques humaines. L’étape suivante s’attache à modéliser la contraction musculaire, implémentée au niveau des fibres musculaires. Une validation du comportement actif du complexe musculo-tendineux est réalisée. Cette dernière étape, combinée à la traction destructive permet d’étudier la faisabilité de modéliser la déchirure par la méthode des éléments discrets, mais également d’étudier les structures endommagées et les mécanismes de rupture. Cela ouvre des possibilités d’utilisation cliniques de ce modèle pour comprendre et prévenir des blessures par déchirure musculaireTearing of the muscle-tendon complex is a common sport-related injury for athletes. Many studies reported description of this traumatism but mechanisms leading to such an injury are still unclear as are the site of mechanical failure and involved structures. The aim of the thesis is to describe the phenomenon of the muscle-tendon-complex’s tear using the discrete element method and validating the numerical model with experimental data. In the first part, a literature review explains the different properties of the muscle-tendon complex main components’ in order to model it at the macroscopic scale. In the second part, the muscle-tendon complex is modeled. Validation of the mechanical behavior in passive tensile test is proposed by comparison with experimental data from L.-L. Gras on human sternocleidomastodeus muscle. Then, the different influences of morphometric parameters on the mechanical behavior of the complex are investigated. The third part focuses on the rupture. A model of the complex set of {Achilles tendon/surae triceps} is built and a tensile test until rupture is applied. Model validity is assessed by comparison with in vitro experiments from human cadavers. The fourth part focuses on the muscular activation, implemented inside fibers’ behavior. Validity of its active behavior is investigated. This fifth and last presents the enrichment with destructive tensile test. This added test allows first to study the feasibility to model the tear with the discrete element method; and second to focus on damaged structures and rupture’s mechanisms. This offers possibilities for clinical applications of this model to understand and prevent injuries caused by a tear of the muscle-tendon complex

Full textAbstract:
Introduktion: Den vertikala hoppförmågan är viktigt för prestationen inom många idrotter. Att använda sig utav komplexträning som benböj och vertikala upphopp har i tidigare forskning visats ge signifikant förbättrad kraftutveckling. Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) är ett fysiologiskt fenomen som ökar muskelspänningen och kraftutvecklingen i de arbetande musklerna, vilket kan implementeras under komplexträning. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om idrottare inom basket, fotboll, handboll och volleyboll får en gynnsam ökning på Countermovement jump with arm swing (CMJa) om de genomför benböj med en belastning på 50% och 80% av deras estimerade eller faktiskt uppmätta 1 repetition maximum (RM) innan test av CMJa. Metod: 9 män och 2 kvinnor, ålder 20.6±3.3, 181.4±7.4 cm, vikt, 76.9±12.6 kg, deltog där samtliga deltagare var aktiva inom någon av idrotterna basket, fotboll och handboll. Testdeltagarna utförde två set tunga benböj följt av fem set CMJa på en infraröd sensor. Resultat: Resultatet visade ingen signifikant förbättring över tid i hopphöjd hos aktiva bollidrottare (p=0.98). Slutsats: Resultatet tyder på att användandet av PAP med tunga benböj inte leda till förbättrad prestation på hopphöjden vid genomförande av CMJa hos bollidrottare. Resultatet i den här studien stödjer inte tidigare forskningsresultat om att det finns en positiv skillnad på hopphöjd efter tunga benböj över tid.Introduction: The vertical jump ability is essential for performance in many sports. The use of complex training has in previous research been shown to provide significantly improved power development. Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) is a physical phenomenon that increases muscle tension and the force development of the working muscles which can be implemented in complex training. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether athletes in basketball, football, handball and volleyball will have a favorable increase in Countermovement jump with arm swing (CMJa) if they perform heavier squats with a load of 50% and 80% of their estimated or measured 1 repeat maximum (RM) before CMJa. Method: 9 men and 2 women, age 20.6±3.3 years, height 181.4±7.4 cm, 76.9±12.6 kg body mass participated in the study. All participants were active in one of the sports basket, football, handball or volleyball. The participants performed two set of squats followed by five set of two repetition CMJas with a five minutes rest in between. An infrared sensor MuscleLab was used to analyze the jump height. Results: The result showed no significant difference between heavy squats and jump height in CMJa over time (p=0.98). Conclusion: Squats with 50% and 80% of 1RM do not seem to improve jump height performance in CMJ on team sports players. The result in this study does not support the results in previous studies showing a positive effect of heavy squats on maximal jump height.

The etiology of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) remains unknown for most of the cases, in spite of its strong genetic component. A greater knowledge of its genetic basis would result in many benefits, including specific genetic counseling for families and, eventually, the development of personalized therapeutic strategies. In this thesis, we have applied several recent sequencing technologies and adapted pipelines to its study. We have investigated the role of rare variants and its transcriptional consequences and explored the contribution of complex rearrangements to its missing heritability. In addition, we have studied second-hit susceptibility genetic factors in a group of individuals with Williams-Beuren syndrome, a genomic disorder associated with a mirror phenotype. Finally, we have explored parental knowledge and the effect of genetic counseling in affected families. Our results reveal that both highly penetrant mutations and inherited variants of milder effect contribute to its susceptibility, following monogenic and oligogenic or multifactorial models, respectively. Each of them may contribute to part of the variability and may explain a subset of cases.Malgrat el fort component genètic dels Trastorns de l’Espectre Autista (TEA), l’etiologia de la majoria de casos es desconeix. Un major coneixement de les seves bases genètiques seria molt beneficiós, ja que permetria un assessorament genètic específic a les famílies i, a la llarga, el desenvolupament d’estratègies terapèutiques personalitzades. En aquesta tesis, s’han aplicat diverses tècniques recents de seqüenciació i estratègies d’anàlisi adaptades. S’ha investigat el paper de variants rares i les seves conseqüències transcripcionals, així com de reordenaments complexos. A més, hem estudiat la presència de variants de susceptibilitat en un grup de persones amb síndrome de Williams, un trastorn genòmic associat a un fenotip oposat. Finalment, hem explorat el coneixement i les opinions en un grup de famílies afectades i, també, l’efecte de l’assessorament genètic. Els resultats obtinguts indiquen que, en el TEA, hi contribueixen tant mutacions altament penetrants, com variants heretades que augmenten lleugerament el risc i poden seguir tant models monogènics com oligogènics. Cada un d’aquests models contribuiria a explicar part de la variabilitat i dels casos

Trata o trabalho da busca pela constatação de possíveis mudanças na identidade da Seleção Brasileira e sobre quais elementos que possam, a princípio, ter contribuído para essa transformação. A partir de dois conceitos clássicos de Nelson Rodrigues, “Pátria de Chuteiras” e “Complexo de Vira-Latas”, que serviram como categorias em nossa pesquisa, buscamos os “novos” olhares de torcedores e da mídia sobre a Seleção Brasileira. O marketing esportivo tem alguma participação nessa “nova” identidade? A globalização, o número expressivo de grandes jogadores do país atuando no exterior, a postura do patrocinador principal (Nike) nas decisões da CBF, provocaram algum distanciamento da mídia e do torcedor? Para responder a essas questões, realizamos, antes da Copa das Confederações, sediada no Brasil em 2013, uma pesquisa com torcedores e, também, analisamos, durante seis meses, as colunas de três cronistas esportivos para avaliar se a pátria ainda está de chuteiras ou se o que ainda impera nesses olhares é o nosso “Complexo de Vira-Latas”.
Through this study, we intend to identify possible changes in the Brazilian national soccer team’s identity and also to find which elements have contributed to this transformation. We are seeking for new perspectives from both the fans and the media regarding the Brazilian team. In order to achieve that, we will make use of two classical concepts proposed by Nelson Rodrigues. The first one is known as “'the nation in soccer shoes'”, a feeling which all Brazilians fans feel when the national team wins, and the second, “the mongrel complex”, a sense of inferiority felt when de national soccer team loses. Both of the concepts will be used as categories for our research. Can the sports marketing be blamed for this “new” identity? Did the globalization process; the significant number of Brazilian soccer stars playing overseas; the posture of the main sponsor (Nike) over the Brazilian Soccer Confederation (CBF)’s decisions, instigate some type of detachment from the media and fans? In order to answer these questions, a survey was applied to the fans, before the Confederation Cup held in Brazil in 2013, and, in addition to that, the columns of three sportswriters were analyzed over six months to evaluate if the nation is still in “soccer shoes” or if it means that our “mongrel complex” still prevails?

Full textAbstract:
Hospitalised patients who deteriorate and require emergency medical review will most likely remain on a general ward after the review. Judgements about the level of care required to safely manage these patients on the ward after medical emergency team review are complex, but rarely incorporate a formal assessment of illness severity. This challenges staff and ward resource allocation practices and patient safety. This study measured the illness severity, in terms of physiological acuity and interventional dependency, of patients after emergency medical review. Novel statistical methods were used to identify then profile patient risk for death and potentially preventable adverse outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Much current literature on management and strategy still describes strategy work as a linear, top-down, management-based, rational, logical, structured and planned change activity with clear and predictable goals. It is described as an activity in which individual managers are addressing key questions and implementing an important, management-based plan. By using the right tools and techniques, skilled managers can transform plans into reality through good leadership and systematic rollout. This way of thinking about leadership is based on an understanding of leaders as rather powerful, knowing, heroic individuals who can stand outside of their organization to plan an ideal future, and who are equipped to make employees follow their instructions in order to reach desired goals. In this thesis I research into my experiences of what is happening in an organization, taking seriously the experience of developing a new strategy. It is an organization working in the public sector in Denmark which is right now trying to find a strategy and its way through a series of 'wicked problems' not easily handled. Through the use of autobiographical narrative-based inquiry and a focus on everyday local interactions between people working together, I research into what is 'really' going on in strategy work. Drawing on the theory of complex responsive processes of relating and reflexivity, I describe and analyse the interactions in our leadership team's efforts to change the organization's strategy. In doing so themes of power, power games and power differentials, politicking and some of the paradoxes in management - such as inclusion/exclusion, local interaction and global patterning, unpredictable predictability, and conflict and cooperation - are investigated. The complex responsive process perspective views organizations as patterns of interaction and conversations between people working together. By analogy from complex adaptive systems models, sociology, psychology and philosophy, it argues that generalizable population-wide patterns emerge in unpredictable ways through exactly these local complex interaction and interplays of people's intentions, thoughts and actions. This leads me to propose generalizable new contributions to knowledge about strategy work. Examining my own experience, I problematize the 'heroic', individualistic, view of what leaders do when working with strategy, preferring to see strategy as a co-created activity that emerges in complex and paradoxical interactions between people in the organization, in the leadership team, in daily cooperation with employees, and through the interface with customers. The understanding of co-creation here being that together we co-create our social life and our social life is co-creating us, our selves, our personalities at the same time. This inseparable paradox of the individual and the group, of the one and the many is investigated. Finally, I suggest that strategy work is inseparable from the everyday messy conflictual power games of organizational life, and that leaders - through actively engaging in ongoing conversations and co-creating meaning - participate in developing new understandings of identity and culture. In talking with one another about what it is we are doing, in influencing and being influenced, and reflecting on this, we are already changing what is going on; this itself is strategy work. The narratives show that to work with strategy effectively, we need to negotiate our intentions in convincing ways through forming strong power alliances. Taking experience seriously also demonstrates a close connection between power, ethics and action, and that it is impossible to decide the 'good' thing to do before acting. Developing reflexivity, both as an individual and in collaborative work, is a prerequisite for working in an ethical way, aware of our mutual interdependence. Finally, the thesis describes some of the consequences of taking experience seriously as a strategy. It has changed the way our staff understand what they are doing, and is beginning to change the kind of assignments we take on, and how we deal with them. One spin-off has been producing two books (with more to come). We also have new and more reflexive contacts in business and knowledge-creating environments, such as universities and business schools. The thesis shows a number of results from working with strategy in this way. This indicates that the act of taking your experience seriously in itself implies a kind of transforming causality, and hereby a strategy of change.

Notre travail de recherche s’inscrit dans la branche Psychologie du sport et Cognition. La prise de décision, dans un contexte dynamique et complexe, met en jeu des paramètres tels que la perception, la mémoire, le savoir, ou l’expérience. Les athlètes élite sont meilleurs que les novices dans leur capacité à percevoir les indices pertinents et agir en fonction pour s’adapter à l’environnement. Trois de nos études ont montré que cette supériorité des experts se traduisait, pour les adultes, dans la capacité à réagir à un signal, notamment lorsque la tâche était spécifique. En revanche, la quatrième étude a révélé que ces différences ne se manifestaient pas chez les adolescents. Les deux dernières études ont cherché à évaluer l’influence d’un exercice intense chez l’adulte, et d’un enchainement d’efforts chez l’adolescent, toujours sur la capacité à réagir face à une situation spécifique. Nous avons montré d’une part que la performance post-effort avait été améliorée chez l’adulte, et d’autre part que cette performance n’avait pas évolué chez l’adolescent après deux jours et demi de stage. Nous avons discuté l’importance d’étudier la prise de décision dans un contexte spécifique pour tenter de comprendre le lien entre la performance lors de tests cognitifs et la performance sur le terrainOur research work is included in Sport psychology and Cognition. Decision-making, in a dynamic and complex context, involves parameters such as perception, memory, knowledge or experience. Elite athletes are better than novices in their ability to perceive relevant cues and act on them to adapt to the environment. Three of our studies have shown that this expert superiority is reflected, for adults, in the ability to react to a signal, especially when the task was specific. However, the fourth study revealed that these differences did not exist for adolescents. The last two studies sought to assess the influence of intense exercise in adults, and of a serie of training in adolescents, always on the ability to react to a specific situation. We showed on the one hand that post-exercise performance had been improved in adults, and on the other hand that this performance had not changed in adolescents after two days and half of training. We discussed the importance of studying decision making in a specific context in an attempt to understand the connection between performance on cognitive tests and performance on the field

Full textAbstract:
The literature indicates that leaders influence the establishment of organizational learning culture (OLC) by the application of transformational (TFO), transactional (TAC), and passive-avoidant (PAV) styles. Further, the literature links OLC to the financial performance of organizations by leadership involvement in establishing learning organizations. However, the manner in which the practice of OLC occurs and the relationship of OLC with TFO, TAC, and PAV is unclear, as is the link between OLC and financial performance (ROA); especially for growing economies outside North America. The purpose of this study was to address this gap in the literature through a quantitative study of leadership styles and their relationship to OLC based on complexity and contingency leadership theories, and organizational learning theory. The research questions focused on establishing the association between TFO, TAC, and PAV and OLC, and the link between OLC and ROA. Data from 40 commercial banks in Kenya were collected and multiple regression models developed. TFO and PAV Leadership styles were associated significantly with OLC; TAC did not have a significant relationship with OLC. OLC was linked significantly to ROA. The results of this study show that leaders of commercial banks build relationships with followers and support learning within their institutions; however, the results of this study show that these leaders engage in a limited form of organizational learning practice. This study has potential to contribute to positive social change by providing information about leadership and organizational learning strategies that advance transformational engagement with followers and organizational performance.

The present paper is based on the thought that there can be no simplified way of understanding and analyzing the facts surrounding human existence and, therefore, a linear approach to exercising multiprofessional care in the process of death and dying. Thus, investing in studies on the phenomenon of death and dying from the perspective of complexity thinking will contribute to the establishment of a "new professional order", motivated by an extended and systemic understanding of care throughout the existential cycle. The purpose of this study was to validate the theoretical-practical construct on the multiprofessional care of neonates in the process of death and dying in neonatal intensive care units, following a complexity thinking. And, as specific objectives: To analyze the scientific productions on multiprofessional care in the process of death and dying in neonatal intensive care units; To know the perception of the multiprofessional team of neonatal intensive care units on the process of death and dying of neonates, and To describe the stages of construction on the process of death and dying in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units . In order to meet the first objective, an integrative research was carried out in PubMed, Lilacs and Bdenf Databases, which resulted in the inclusion of 13 productions, which were decoded into three categories of analysis: the perception of the multiprofessional team about the process of death and dying, strategies of care in the face of neonatal death and family reaction to the process of death and dying. To meet the second objective, a qualitative exploratory-descriptive study was carried out through a focus group technique with 35 professionals from the multiprofessional team who work in a neonatal and pediatric intensive care unit from May to July. A third specific objective was reached through a methodological research, which sought to describe the construction and validation stages of a construct on the process of death and dying in neonatal intensive care units, following a complexity thinking. In response to the latter objective, on the analysis of renowned specialists, a return of twelve instruments were evaluated in the first round and eleven instruments in the second Delphi round. In the first round, suggestions were made for changes in relation to the conceptual and formative dimensions of the construct. The construct was considered valid, both in content and appearance and will contribute to the expanded and multiprofessional understanding of the process of death and dying of neonates and children locally and nationally. It is concluded, therefore, that the process of death and dying of neonates and children constitutes a singular and complex process, both for the multiprofessional team and for the family members. In this direction, the validation of a theoretical-practical construct on the process of death and dying, in the perspective of complex thinking, constitutes a proactive strategy for the (re) thinking of human existence itself, in addition to enabling theoretical-practical reflections among professionals of the multiprofessional team that contributes to the confrontation of the adversities and the uncertainties inherent to existential and caring dynamics. Complex thinking corroborates, in this direction, with the bet that it is not possible to escape the uncertainties and adversities of life, but that it is necessary to assume death and dying as a phenomenon that is part of the existential dynamics.
O presente estudo sustenta-se no pensamento de que não pode haver uma forma simplificada de compreender e analisar os fatos que envolvem a existência humana e, tão pouco, uma abordagem linear no exercício do cuidado multiprofissional no processo de morte e morrer. Assim, investir em estudos sobre o fenômeno de morte e morrer na perspectiva do pensamento da complexidade contribuirá para o estabelecimento de uma nova ordem profissional, motivada pela compreensão ampliada e sistêmica do cuidado em todo o ciclo existencial. Com base nesta aposta, o presente estudo teve como objetivo geral: Validar construto teórico-prático sobre o cuidado multiprofissional de neonatos no processo de morte e morrer em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal, à luz do pensamento da complexidade. E, como objetivos específicos: Analisar as produções científicas sobre o cuidado multiprofissional no processo de morte e morrer em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal; Conhecer a percepção da equipe multiprofissional da unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal sobre o processo de morte e morrer de neonatos e, Descrever as etapas de construção e validação de um construto sobre o processo de morte e morrer em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal. Para atender o primeiro objetivo foi realizada uma pesquisa integrativa nas Bases de Dados PubMed, Lilacs e Bdenf, a qual resultou na inclusão de 13 produções, as quais foram decodificadas em quatro categorias de análise: percepção da equipe multiprofissional sobre o processo de morte e morrer, estratégias de cuidados diante da morte neonatal e reação da família face ao processo de morte e morrer. Para atender o segundo objetivo, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratório-descritiva, por meio da técnica de grupo focal, com 35 profissionais da equipe multiprofissional que atuam em uma unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal, no período de maio a julho de 2016. O terceiro objetivo específico foi alcançado a partir de uma pesquisa metodológica, que buscou descrever as etapas de construção e de validação de um construto sobre o processo de morte e morrer em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal, à luz do pensamento da complexidade. Em resposta a este último objetivo obteve-se, na análise dos especialistas em âmbito nacional, um retorno de doze instrumentos avaliados na primeira rodada e, onze instrumentos, na segunda rodada Delphi. Na primeira rodada foram realizadas sugestões de mudanças em relação as dimensões conceitual e formativa do construto. O construto foi considerado válido tanto em conteúdo quanto em aparência e, certamente, contribuirá para a compreensão ampliada e multiprofissional do processo de morte e morrer de neonatos em âmbito local e em território nacional. Conclui-se, portanto, que o processo de morte e morrer de neonatos se constitui em processo singular e complexo, tanto para a equipe multiprofissional, quanto para os familiares. Nessa direção, a validação de um construto teórico-prático sobre o processo de morte e morrer, na perspectiva do pensamento complexo, se constitui em estratégia proativa para o (re)pensar da própria existência humana, além de possibilitar reflexões teórico-práticas entre os profissionais da equipe multiprofissional que contribuam para o enfrentamento das adversidades e das incertezas inerentes à dinâmica existencial e cuidativa. O pensamento complexo corrobora, nessa direção, com a aposta de que não é possível fugir das incertezas e das adversidades da vida, mas de que é preciso assumir a morte e o morrer como fenômeno integrante da dinâmica existencial.

Previous issue date: 2009-07-06It is a descriptive qualitative research, accomplished in a Brazilian branch of a French multinational company, that it aims at to analyze how the semi-autonomous groups methodology works in a management point of view. As the increasing empowerment by the use of these semi-autonomous groups is a recognized practice of improving competitiveness in the companies, it was necessary to identify which aspects related to the implantation methodology, chosen by the multinational, presented positive aspects and deficiencies in the employees optics. The used methodology is a case study, where in the data collection was used a questionnaire and daily observations of the company. The chosen universe is the operational department of the multinational, due to its largest implication in the implementation of the semi-autonomous groups. The chosen sample refers to a specific section of the assembly department, because it was considered representative in the analysis universe. The associate theory, from which the questionnaire was elaborated, found the necessary abilities/knowledge to the implementation of semi-autonomous groups, as well as the three competence dimensions idealized for Le Boterf, generating thirty six questions, being two for each relationship abilities/knowledge - competence dimensions between abilities/knowledge and competence dimensions. The conclusion of the questionnaires results analyses basing on the lifted up theories, the implantation manual of the multinational and the section observations, identified five roads of progress so that it is possible to develop the necessary competences to the semi-autonomous groups of this multinational. Which are: leadership formation and sensitization, development of the evaluation system, complete implantation of the spokes, formation / training in the other necessary competences to GSA and implantation of monthly team meetings.

L’intensité concurrentielle et les évolutions technologiques n’ont jamais été aussi intenses. Aussi, les entreprises en quête de pérennité sont-elles de plus en plus confrontées à une nécessité d’exploiter leurs activités actuelles et d’explorer des activités futures. Or la gestion de ce double impératif est loin d’être évidente, générant potentiellement d’importantes tensions au sein des entreprises. Bien que la recherche en management ait permis de mieux appréhender cette tension d’Exploration/Exploitation, il reste des zones de contradiction et des espaces non explorés. En particulier, il n’y a pas de consensus sur les définitions des concepts d’exploration et d’exploitation, ne permettant pas ainsi de garantir une certaine cohérence dans la recherche (Birkinshaw & Gupta, 2013). D’autre part, la tension Exploration/Exploitation n’a que très peu été étudiée dans le contexte des jeunes entreprises de croissance - également appelées « scale-up » - qui ont la particularité d’être exposées à de forts enjeux de survie. Ainsi, afin de contribuer à une meilleure compréhension des problématiques que soulève cette tension au sein de celles-ci, un format de thèse sur travaux, comprenant trois études complémentaires, est adopté.Au préalable, afin de cadrer conceptuellement la thèse, je réponds, dans une première étude, à l’appel des chercheurs pour la clarification des concepts d’exploration et d’exploitation en proposant une typologie d’exploration. Puis, par l’intermédiaire d’une approche multi-cas longitudinale menée auprès de huit jeunes entreprises de croissance, j’explore tout d’abord, dans une deuxième étude, les facteurs influençant les orientations stratégiques des entreprises quant à leurs activités d’exploration et d’exploitation. Enfin, dans la troisième étude, je cherche à comprendre comment le fonctionnement des équipes de direction définit les rôles de chacun dans les activités d’exploration et d’exploitationCompetition and technological change have never been as intense as they are today. To survive, companies must increasingly carry out current activities at the same time that they explore future ones. It is no easy task to operate on both of these fronts, and doing so is a potential source of tension and contradiction. Although management research has provided insight into the exploration and exploitation tension, there are still contradictions and unexplored areas. In particular, there is no consensus on the definition of the concepts of exploration and exploitation, which means the research lacks a certain level of consistency. In addition, there has been very little attention paid to the Exploration/Exploitation tension in the context of young, growing “scale-up” companies, which are particularly exposed to threats to their survival. To obtain a better understanding of the situations this tension causes in these companies, we have adopted a multi-paper dissertation consisting of three complementary studies.In the first study, to create a conceptual framework for the thesis, we answer researchers’ call for a clarification of the concepts of exploration and exploitation by proposing a typology of exploration. Then, based on a longitudinal, multi-case approach focused on eight scale-up companies, we first explore, in a second study, the factors influencing firms’ strategic orientations vis-à-vis exploration and exploitation activities. Finally, in the third study, we seek to understand how management teams define their individual roles with respect to exploration and exploitation activities

Full textAbstract:
Whether it is offering services, delivering solutions or driving innovations, team work has been a hallmark of efficiency and effectiveness in various industries. The healthcare industry is not left out as its service delivery process involves numerous interfaces, information flows and patient hand-offs among professionals with different educational training, differing knowledge levels and possibly working from different locations as well. As healthcare delivery evolves to being more patient-centered, so does the team settings as well, becoming more collaborative. Such changes also translate into a need for support systems to evolve to be able to provide support for the extent of collaboration that would be needed. A framework is needed to guide in the development of such systems. However, due to the varying needs of patients, team types and make-up would generally differ, so we explored the different types of team settings studying what they entail based on their various degrees of collaboration. We therefore present in this thesis a model of team based concepts, an ontology formalizing the model, team based scenarios designed using the ontology and then application of the scenarios to test the ability of BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) to model healthcare teams.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse s’inscrit dans un projet de recherche mené par l’Institut de Recherche Biomédicale des Armées (IRBA). Ce projet vise à répondre à une demande formulée par l’Amiral Commandant des Forces Océaniques et Stratégiques suite à plusieurs incidents dans lesquels un défaut de transmission des informations au sein de l’équipe Sécurité-Plongée des Sous-marins Nucléaires d’Attaque a été identifié comme un facteur causal.Terrain. L’équipe Sécurité-Plongée, située dans le Poste Central Navigation Opérations, est en charge de la conduite et du maintien de la sécurité du sous-marin. Cette équipe travaille en coopération étroite avec d’autres équipes, principalement par l’intermédiaire de la communication verbale (en présentiel et à distance). Une première analyse de l’activité a permis d’identifier le chef d’équipe comme un élément central dans la transmission des informations entre le commandement et les membres de l’équipe Sécurité-Plongée, en charge du contrôle direct du processus. Pour cela, il lui est nécessaire d’élaborer une conscience de la situation adaptée aux objectifs du commandement et aux contraintes auxquelles sont confrontés ses coéquipiers. La recherche de thèse porte sur les mécanismes d’élaboration de la conscience de la situation collective lors de la gestion d’une situation dynamique et à risques.Méthode. Nos observations ont été réalisées auprès de 15 équipes de 6 sous-mariniers, lors de situations de simulation qui s’intègrent dans leur entraînement évalué et préalable à un départ en mission. Ces situations sont fortement contraintes temporellement et sont ponctuées de plusieurs phases de résolution de problèmes. La méthode que nous avons mise en œuvre de façon à étudier l’élaboration de la conscience de la situation collective se base sur la caractérisation des interactions verbales de l’équipe Sécurité-Plongée.Problématique. La thèse défendue est que la conscience de la situation collective émerge à partir des informations partagées au sein de l’équipe. Le chef d’équipe occupant une place centrale dans ce réseau, la caractérisation des informations qu’il échange avec ses coéquipiers permet de rendre compte de la dynamique de l’élaboration de sa conscience de la situation collective.Partie empirique. ─ La première étude de la thèse consiste en l’analyse de l’activité lors d’un épisode intéressant du point de vue de l’élaboration de la conscience de la situation, avec l’alternance de phases de conduite et de résolution de problèmes. Cette étude nous a permis d’identifier la dynamique des tâches réalisées et d’établir deux critères de performance, un pour la conduite et un pour la résolution de problèmes. La seconde étude vise à caractériser les flux de communication en s’appuyant notamment sur une méthode issue de l’analyse des réseaux sociaux. L’objectif est d’étudier d’une part l’impact de l’expérience des opérateurs sur la structure de la communication verbale, et d’autre part les liens entre la structure du réseau et la performance (de conduite et de résolution de problème). La troisième étude vise à identifier les processus cognitifs et les objets mobilisés dans la communication verbale. L’objectif est d’analyser l’impact de l’expérience des opérateurs sur le contenu des communications verbales d’une part, et les liens entre le contenu des communications verbales et la performance d’autre part.L’originalité de la thèse réside en partie dans cette articulation de méthodes d’analyse de la structure et du contenu de la communication verbale, en lien étroit avec l’activité, de façon à comprendre comme s’élabore la conscience de la situation d’un individu central dans un collectif en situation dynamique et à risquesThis thesis is part of a research project conducted by the French Institut de Recherche Biomédicale des Armées (Armed Forces Biomedical Research Institute). The project aims to respond to a request made by the Admiral Commander of the Oceanic and Strategic Forces following several incidents in which a failure to transmit information within the SSN’s Diving Safety team was identified as a causal factor.Domain. The Diving Safety team, which is located in the Operation and Navigation Department, is responsible for the driving and maintenance of the submarine’s technical safety. This team works closely with other teams, mainly through verbal communication (face-to-face and remote). An initial analysis of their activities identified the team leader as a key element in the transmission of information between the command post and the members of the Diving Safety team, as this person has direct control of the process. The latter requires developing situation awareness (SA) that meets the objectives set by the command post and the constraints faced by his teammates. The research program described in this thesis focuses on the role of the team leader on mechanisms for developing collective SA when managing a dynamic and risky situation.Method. Our observations were made with 15 teams of 6 submariners, during simulation exercises that are part of their assessed training that is held prior to mission departure. These situations are highly time-constrained and are punctuated by several problem-solving phases. The method that we implemented to study the development of collective SA is based on the characterization of verbal interactions.Problem statement. We argue that collective SA emerges from the information shared within the team. Since the team leader is central in this network, the characterization of the information he exchanges with his teammates makes it possible to report on the dynamics of the development of the collective SA.Empirical studies. The first part of the thesis consists in the analysis of activity during an interesting episode from the point of view of developing SA, with alternating driving and problem-solving phases. This study allowed us to identify the dynamics of the tasks performed, and to establish two performance criteria, one for driving and one for problem solving. The second part aims to characterize communication flows based on a method derived from the social networks analysis. The objective is to study the impact of operators’ experience on the structure of verbal communication, on the one hand, and the links between the network structure and performance (driving and problem solving), on the other. The third part aims to identify in verbal communication the cognitive processes and objects involved in developing collective SA. The objective is to analyse the impact of operators’ experience on the content of verbal communication, on the one hand, and the links between the content of verbal communication and performance on the other.The originality of this thesis lies, in part, in this articulation of methods for analysing the structure and content of verbal communication, in close connection with the activity, in order to understand how collective SA develops in a dynamic and risky situation

Drug development which is a bit challenging and complex process that involves the
development, discovery, design, and assessment of potential therapeutic agents.
Meningioma, most common among the brain tumor which are generally asymptomatic in
nature is characterized by the NF2 gene loss. The current treatment options such as
resection and radiotherapy have limitations, with high rates of relapse or recurrence. The
lack of FDA-approved drugs specific to meningioma necessitates the exploration of
alternative approaches. Currently combination of FDA approved drug for other cancer
were given to patients but the side effects and failure rates were high. To battle
meningioma, natural substances are being researched as potential inhibitors of particular
pathways, such as the YAP/TEAD complex in the Hippo signaling pathway. YAP/TEAD
complex is responsible for uncontrolled cell progression in meningioma , by targeting
this complex we can make a drug or treatment of meningioma. In this study, molecular
docking was used to undertake in silico work and inhibition approach was used to find
naturally occurring molecules with comparable structures that might potentially interact
with the target receptor. out of 50 phytochemical,10 were selected on the basis of
bioavailability test and lead likeness The white mulberry Morus alba plant's bark
flavonoid, sanggenon N, was discovered to be the study's lead substance. Sanggenon N
may have lesser negative effects than synthetic medications because the Sanggenon
family of chemicals has demonstrated therapeutic potential. Another flavonoid called
isostaivan showed the second-highest binding affinity.. Further analysis confirmed that
Sanggenon N could act as an inhibitor of the 6UYC protein, which is the TEAD complex
in Homo sapiens, thereby inhibiting the YAP/TEAD complex. This inhibition can
potentially suppress cell proliferation and tumor growth in meningioma. It is crucial to
emphasize that these results are based on in silico work and that additional validation
through wet lab research is required.

A adaptação é fundamental para a eficácia do trabalho em equipa em ambientes complexos. A literatura sugere que as características dos membros da equipa, os processos episódicos e os estados emergentes contribuem para a capacidade de as equipas se comportarem de forma adaptativa. No entanto, as causas e condições em que estas variáveis se relacionam e contribuem para a adaptação em ambientes de trabalho complexos exige mais investigação. Nesta dissertação, vamos concentrar-nos nas dinâmicas multinível, transversais e longitudinais que caracterizam o processo adaptativo. Os participantes dos estudos feitos nesta dissertação foram estudantes universitários, e trabalhadores de diversos contextos organizacionais (e.g. gestão; saúde hospitalar; policia). O teste das hipóteses de investigação foi feito através de metodologias de regressão e equações estruturais. A metodologia de regressão foi utilizada para estimar os efeitos diretos, indiretos e condicionados. A modelagem com equações estruturais foi utilizada para estimar os efeitos indiretos, multinível e longitudinais. No geral, os resultados sugerem que a performance adaptativa contribui para a eficácia das equipas em ambientes de trabalho complexos. Os nossos resultados também clarificam a natureza das relações entre as características dos membros das equipas, os processos e estados emergentes. Esta dissertação contribui para a teoria e a prática, uma vez que amplia o conhecimento prévio sobre as dinâmicas de adaptação do trabalho em equipa, e tece recomendações de como e por que razões as práticas de GRH devem incorporar os resultados desta dissertação na gestão de pessoas.Team adaptation is paramount for effective teamwork in complex work environments. Literature suggests that team member characteristics, episodic team processes, and emergent states contribute to collective ability to behave adaptively. However, we know very little about the causes and conditions under which these constructs relate to predict adaptation and effectiveness in complex work environments requires further clarification. In this dissertation, we focus on the multilevel, cross-level and longitudinal examination of the dynamics of team member characteristics, episodic team processes, and emergent states driving team adaptation in the work place. In this dissertation data collection was done in simulated and field settings. Participants were university students and professional workers from diverse organizational settings (e.g. business; healthcare; police). Hypotheses testing were done through regression and structural equations modelling. Regression was used to estimate direct, indirect, and conditioned effects. Structural equations modelling were used to estimate indirect, multilevel and longitudinal effects. Overall, the results suggest that team adaptation contributes to team effectiveness in complex work environments. Our results also contribute to clarify the entanglement between team member characteristics, processes and emergent states in teams. This dissertation contributes to theory and practice as it extends previous knowledge on the dynamics of team adaptation, and it makes recommendations of why and how HRM practices should incorporate our findings in people management.

Full textAbstract:
Communication is a critical aspect of clinical work. In 2010, the Joint Commission (JC) found that gaps in communication were among leading factors contributing to medical errors. Healthcare processes, such as patient discharge, depend on interdisciplinary communication to be successful. Electronic health records (EHRs) have the potential to facilitate communication and information sharing between interdisciplinary care team members; however, challenges remain in designing tools for team-based care and questions remain in understanding how EHRs impact interdisciplinary team communication. This dissertation focuses on understanding how EHRs can be designed to support communication and information sharing within interdisciplinary patient care teams. The first aim of the dissertation investigated how EHRs impact interdisciplinary clinical teams’ communication, shared mental models, and information sharing activities. The results showed that implementing new EHR tools appeared to have little impact on communication and shared mental models, but new information sharing activities mediated by EHR developed. These changes and lack thereof suggest that new EHR tools will be specifically needed to facilitate interdisciplinary team information sharing activities. The second aim of the dissertation investigates the information sharing activities and information needs of interdisciplinary team members during patient discharge. The results showed that the information clinicians sought out during discharge depended on the roles that person played as well as the progress of the discharge process. Future EHR tools should be aware of how patient care teams are progressing through the patient discharge process in order to provide information contextualized to their current tasks. In conclusion, interdisciplinary team communication and information sharing remain poorly supported by current EHRs and new tools designed specifically for interdisciplinary teams should provide information based on the completion of team activities.

The objective of this study was to investigate the role of team sex composition in team training performance and team processes in the context of a complex, psychomotor, information–processing task. With the growing number of women in the workplace, the role of, and implications for, team sex composition is an important research question because there are performance domains, such as psychomotor tasks, where replicable sex differences have been documented. We used 92 four–person teams to investigate the relationship between team sex composition, team declarative knowledge, team–efficacy, team communication, team cohesion, and team performance on a complex, psychomotor, information–processing task.
The results indicate that team sex composition was significantly related to team performance and team declarative knowledge. Furthermore, team performance and team declarative knowledge showed significant mean differences across the levels of team sex composition, such that teams with a larger proportion of males had higher scores on each of the variables. As hypothesized, team communication showed an opposite effect where teams with higher proportions of females reported larger amounts of communication, but none of the team sex composition pairwise comparisons were significantly different. The posited relationship between team cohesion and team homogeneity was not supported. Finally, there was no evidence for any of the process variables moderating the relationship between team sex composition and team performance.
Team sex composition may be an important variable in training situations where past sex differences have been demonstrated on the performance task of interest. The findings suggest the need to consider instructional design strategies that may mitigate the negative effects of team sex composition on team performance. Future research is needed to determine the extent to which findings from this single study generalize to other psychomotor task domains and how all–female teams will perform under similar circumstances.

The pain of ulnar side of wrist is a challenging issue in orthopedics. This is often caused by the damage of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC). The function of TFCC is to maintain the stability of the wrist joint when rotation and distribute the mechanical stress from the hand. It is still controversial in the surgical approach of TFCC repair. Due to the development of minimal invasive surgery, arthroscopic transosseus suture repair was recommended. However, some surgeons still believed that open repair had better prognosis. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical stability of arthroscopic and open approaches for triangular fibrocartilage complex foveal repair Six matched pairs of fresh-frozen forearm cadaver specimens were prepared for testing. Open repair with suture anchor and arthroscopic transosseous suture with a new aiming device were evaluated. Before and after disruption of the TFCC fovea and after its repair, dorsal and palmar translation of the ulna was measured in both groups in response to a load (3 kg) applied in the palmar and then in the dorsal direction. The total translation of the ulna was calculated as the sum of the mean dorsal and palmar translations. The athroscopic transosseous suture technique demonstrated superior repair efficacy to the open repair technique in terms of biomechanical strength. This cadaveric study also demonstrated the feasibility of a new aiming device

Humans need to interact socially with others and the environment. These interactions
lead to complex systems that elude naïve and casuistic tools for understand these
explanations. One way is to search for mechanisms and patterns of behavior in our
activities. In this thesis, we focused on players’ interactions in team sports performance
and how using complex systems tools, notably complex networks theory and tools, can
contribute to Performance Analysis. We began by exploring Network Theory,
specifically Social Network Analysis (SNA), first applied to Volleyball (experimental
study) and then on soccer (2014 World Cup). The achievements with SNA proved
limited in relevant scenarios (e.g., dynamics of networks on n-ary interactions) and we
moved to other theories and tools from complex networks in order to tap into the
dynamics on/off networks. In our state-of-the-art and review paper we took an
important step to move from SNA to Complex Networks Analysis theories and tools,
such as Hypernetworks Theory and their structural Multilevel analysis. The method
paper explored the Multilevel Hypernetworks Approach to Performance Analysis in
soccer matches (English Premier League 2010-11) considering n-ary cooperation and
competition interactions between sets of players in different levels of analysis. We
presented at an international conference the mathematical formalisms that can express
the players’ relationships and the statistical distributions of the occurrence of the sets
and their ranks, identifying power law statistical distributions regularities and design
(found in some particular exceptions), influenced by coaches’ pre-match arrangement
and soccer rules.Os humanos necessitam interagir socialmente com os outros e com o envolvimento. Essas interações estão na origem de sistemas complexos cujo entendimento não é captado através de ferramentas ingénuas e casuísticas. Uma forma será procurar mecanismos e padrões de comportamento nas atividades. Nesta tese, o foco centra-se na utilização de ferramentas dos sistemas complexos, particularmente no contributo da teoria e ferramentas de redes complexas, na Análise do Desempenho Desportivo baseado nas interações dos jogadores de equipas desportivas. Começámos por explorar a Teoria das Redes, especificamente a Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS) no Voleibol (estudo experimental) e depois no futebol (Campeonato do Mundo de 2014). As aplicações da ARS mostraram-se limitadas (por exemplo, na dinâmica das redes em interações n-árias) o que nos trouxe a outras teorias e ferramentas das redes complexas. No capítulo do estadoda- arte e artigo de revisão publicado, abordámos as vantagens de utilização de outras teorias e ferramentas, como a análise Multinível e Teoria das Híperredes. No artigo de métodos, apresentámos a Abordagem de Híperredes Multinível na Análise do Desempenho em jogos de futebol (Premier League Inglesa 2010-11) considerando as interações de cooperação e competição nos conjuntos de jogadores, em diferentes níveis de análise. Numa conferência internacional, apresentámos os formalismos matemáticos que podem expressar as relações dos jogadores e as distribuições estatísticas da ocorrência dos conjuntos e a sua ordem, identificando regularidades de distribuições estatísticas de power law e design (encontrado nalgumas exceções estatísticas específicas), promovidas pelos treinadores na preparação dos jogos e constrangidas pelas regras do futebol.
