Texto completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: On the way to a contemporary eco-aesthetic. My thesis consists of three chapters; the first chapter contains a basic background study and philosophic research of concepts which are relevant to my work; the second chapter is a discussion of ecofeminism as political and spiritual phenomena (my work resorts in the genre of ecofeminism); and the third chapter is an analytic consideration and discussion where my works are presented as a visual explanation of my own interpretation of the dialogue between art and science with underlying geographical and ecological concepts. Some of these concepts purport the ritual of cycles and the aesthetic experience thereof. They deal with the earth as maternal patron where the layers of society (evidence of existence) becomes evident in the layering of the earth. This evidence of existence can be found in the waste generated from the cyclic existence of living beings and organisms. In addition, the traditional scrub or healing activities which are ascribed to women, are used as an argument to effectuate a consciousness of symbioses.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: My tesis bestaan uit drie hoofstukke; die eerste hoofstuk behels 'n basiese agtergrondstudie en filosofiese ondersoek na konsepte wat na my mening betrekking het op my werk; die tweede hoofstuk is 'n bespreking oor ekofeminisme as politieke en spirituele verskynsel (my werk ressorteer onder ekofeminisme as genre); en die derde hoofstuk 'n analitiese beskouing en bespreking waar my werk aangebied word as visuele verduideliking van my persoonlike interpretasie van die dialoog tussen kuns en wetenskap met onderliggende geografiese en ekologiese konsepte. Van hierdie konsepte gaan oor die ritueel van siklusse en die estetiese belewenis daarvan. Dit handeloor die aarde as die moederskoot waar die lae van samelewings (bewyse van bestaan) gelees kan word in die gelaagdheid van die aarde. Hierdie bewyse van bestaan kan gevind word in die afval wat gegenereer word uit die sikliese bestaanswyse van lewende wesens en organismes. Hiermee saam word die tradisionele skrop- of helende aktiwiteite wat aan vroue toegeken word, as argument gebruik om 'n bewussyn van simbiose te bewerkstellig.

Texto completoCycles and series of secular subjects, painted between 1730 and 1774, reveal an evolution of the ideal of painting and the reality of its practice, led by a popularization of the mode of reception of Fine Arts. Despite some prejudices that consider the painting of this period as simply decorative, artists, who are conscious of their liberty of creation, granted by an extension of the public, produce carefully iconographic and stylistic programs which show their peculiar talents. Painted ensembles, made for specific interiors, reflect complicated circumstances of patron’s intentions, painter’s ambition and reactions of the public. History painting, of which prestige is never doubted, is open to free interpretation under the influence of others genres. Diversification of the public of the Salon and development of art criticism bring an opposition between amateurs and critics. The Bâtiments du roi tries to encourage a competitive spirit by artists. Its reform, which aims at progress of Fine Arts, is not a simple return to the Antiquity or the seventeenth-century, but is the invention of the painting of Enlightenment by introducing social meanings, which convey the ideal of the encyclopedists. Difficulties, encountered by large ensembles of interior paintings of royal castles and of official mistresses’ residences, reveal a complexity of artistic creation, proper to this period of development of modern institutions and diversification of spaces in secular architecture. The ambition of Bâtiments to unify various tastes of public will be made into the Museum, making use of national sentiment

Texto completoThis dissertation isolates in European romantic literature a particularly broad corpus of fictions with an oral frame organized in "watches", "nights" or "evenings". This bibliographic presence underlines a paradox: why does romantic literature still dream of oral practices whereas at the same time are inaugurated the modern textualisation of literature and its regulation by commercial techniques? How to combine the idea of the sacre of the writer and the nostalgia for direct speech ? The cycle of night fictions seems initially a survival or a sign of nostalgia of the antique forms of oral narration (Panchatrantra, Thousand and One Nights) : the authors appear to resurrect the technique of the frame narrative to benefit from the vitality associated with the direct exchange simulated in these texts. However, the study of this corpus shows that this romantic intertextual reading has nothing to do with a taste for archaism. Initially, the nocturnal cycle is actually an intermediate form between the literary tradition and the contemporary modifications of the literary context : it is perfectly adapted to publication in the press, but nevertheless makes it possible to restore a form of auctorial aura auctoriale by establishing an oral ambivalence which suggests a direct presence of the storyteller. The "nights" thus allow the author to adapt to the increasing mercantilisation of the literary world, while continuing to profit from the prestige associated to the romantic magi and other « poets of the night »

Texto completoIn our thesis consideration could be given to a strategy in order to re-engage « early school leaving » pupils. It focuses on a mediation in an experimental class of arts and cultural education, in cycles 2 and 3, developed as a tool for school mobilization. The analysis of this device, leading to the creation of four albums in children's literature, tries to highlight the results of our educational mediation. Specifically, our study sets out to observe, understand and support underachieving pupils (from 7 to 11 years old) in a school within a socio-economically disadvantaged area. We were able to identify, within writing and visual arts workshops, how pupils became engaged in activities, in order to learn by doing and creating.Pupils actively participated in classwork comprising an activity of creativity allowing them to become motivated to learn. So, the study focused on whether this increased engagement was due to taking part in activities with an author-illustrator.Our theoretical and methodological framework for analysis of data from the "process of experience" is based on activity tracks (what is emerging from the pre-reflexive consciousness). The data in thislongitudinal study were collected during direct observations in a classroom (from the 2nd year to the 5th year of primary school).. The study hypothesis argues that increased pupil engagement was as a result of the creative process involved in the creation of albums promoting access to the world of imagination. In addition these pupils became more integrated into the life of the school. They became actors by being inspired by their own fields of interest. They learned how to articulate the required pictorial reference needed for their stories. The pupils were inspired to see their own real-life experience being used as the basis of a work of fiction.This study demonstrates how underachieving pupils could be encouraged to re-engage with school through participation in this creative process. Further research is required to find out whether this creative approach could be adopted in other areas of the curriculum to support the integration of underachieving pupils in school

Texto completoThe present thesis is about vita icons executed from the beginning of the 15th to the end of the 17th c. on the island of Crete which was under Venetian rule since 1210. The capture of Constantinople by the Ottomans in 1453 deprived the Byzantine empire of its center and Crete, where several Constantinopolitan painters have taken refuge, has developed, under their influence, the art of the icons painting in workshops organized on the mode] of Western workshops. This study includes 74 icons of 26 saints. ln the Introduction, the presentation of the subject is followed by the integration of the works in their historical and artistic context, the presentation of the state of the research and the methodological approach. The text is divided into 4 chapters. The 1st includes a presentation of the frequency of illustration of saints on icons, the distribution of works by century, the location of known painters and sponsors based on dedicatory inscriptions. The 2nd deals with the evolution of the typology as to the disposition of the hagiographic cycle of the saint in relation to the central representation, the number of compartments and the relationship with that of the illustrated episodes, the modes of delimitation of the compartments and the establishment of the illustrated episodes. The 3d chapter studies in detail the evolution of the iconography of the scenes, the constitution of the cycles and the diffusion of the iconographic formulas, with as starting point the cycles of saints Georges and Nicolas. The study of the evolution of the iconography of the cycles of ail the icons, according to the chronological order of the works, is addressed in the 4th chapter

Texto completoIn this thesis, we study arc colorings and cycles in digraphs. The following topics are considered: vertex-distinguishing proper arc colorings in digraphs, short cycles in digraphs with forbidden subgraphs , disjoint cycles in bipartite tournaments, cycle factors in regualr bipartite tournaments and universal arcs in tournaments. The main results are contained in five original articles published or submitted to an international journal. We introduce vertex-distinguishing proper arc colorings of digraphs. A conjecture on the vertex-distinguishing arc-chromatic number is given and some partial results are obtained. We extend a result of Razborov by proving that the Caccetta-Häggkvist conjecture is true for digraphs with certain induced forbidden subgraphs or with certain forbidden subgraphs. We show that every bipartite tournament with minimum outdegree at least qr-1 has r vertex disjoint cycles of any given possible lengths. The special case q=2 of the result verifies the bipartite tournament case of the Bermond-Thomassen conjecture. As a partial support of a conjecture on 2-cycle-factors in bipartite tournaments, we prove that every k-regular bipartite tournament B with k>2 has two complementary cycles of lengths 6 and |V(B)|-6, unless B is isomorphic to a special digraph. Besides, we show that every k-connected regular bipartite tournament has a k-cycle-factor. We also give a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of a universal arc in a tournament and characterize all the tournaments in which every arc is universal

Texto completoIn this thesis, we study four problems in graph theory, the Hamiltonian cycle problem in line graphs, the edge-fault-tolerant bipancyclicity of Cayley graphs generated by transposition trees, the vertex-distinguishing arc colorings in digraph- s and the acyclic arc coloring in digraphs. The first two problems are the classic problem on the cycles in graphs. And the other two arc coloring problems are related to the modern graph theory, in which we use some probabilistic methods. In particular,We first study the Hamiltonian cycle problem in line graphs and find the Hamiltonian cycles in some spanning subgraphs of line graphs SL(G). We prove that: if L(G) is Hamiltonian, then SL(G) is Hamiltonian. Due to this, we propose a conjecture, which is equivalent to some well-known conjectures. And we get two results about the edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in line graphs.Then, we consider the edge-fault-tolerant bipancyclicity of Cayley graphs generated by transposition trees. And we prove that the Cayley graph generated by transposition tree is (n − 3)-edge-fault-tolerant bipancyclic if it is not a star graph.Later, we introduce the vertex-distinguishing arc coloring in digraphs. We study the relationship between the vertex-distinguishing edge coloring in undirected graphs and the vertex-distinguishing arc coloring in digraphs. And we get some results on the (semi-) vertex-distinguishing arc chromatic number for digraphs and also propose a conjecture about it. To verify the conjecture we study the vertex-distinguishing arc coloring for regular digraphs.Finally, we introduce the acyclic arc coloring in digraphs. We calculate the acyclic arc chromatic number for some digraph families and propose a conjecture on the acyclic arc chromatic number. Then we consider the digraphs with high girth by using the Lovász Local Lemma and we also consider the random regular digraphs. And the results of the digraphs with high girth and the random regular digraphs verify the conjecture

In this paper, an attempt is made to explore the relevance of a consumer confidence index in forecasting business cycles in the Netherlands. Furthermore, the possible heterogeneity regarding the information content of individual questions is addressed, and it is investigated whether this information can be attributed to the information view or to the animal spirits view. This paper constructs a Bayesian VAR (BVAR), which includes a consumer confidence index, the unemployment rate, a composite leading indicator, producer confidence, and the Michigan consumer sentiment index. The results show that for the 24-month-ahead forecast and the 48-month-ahead forecast of unemployment, consumer confidence explains respectively 3.96% - 8.06% and 10.25% - 15.99% of the error variance. Moreover, there seems to be significant heterogeneity among the individual questions in the consumer confidence survey. Finally, it is concluded that the additional predictive power of consumer confidence can be attributed to the information view.

Texto completoUnderstanding stars, their magnetic activity phenomena and the underlying dynamo action is the foundation for understanding 'life, the universe and everything' - as stellar magnetic fields play a fundamental role for star and planet formation and for the terrestrial atmosphere and climate. Starspots are the fingerprints of magnetic field lines and thereby the most important sign of activity in a star's photosphere. However, they cannot be observed directly, as it is not (yet) possible to spacially resolve the surfaces of even the nearest neighbouring stars. Therefore, an indirect approach called 'Doppler imaging' is applied, which allows to reconstruct the surface spot distribution on rapidly rotating, active stars. In this work, data from 11 years of continuous spectroscopic observations of the active binary star EI Eridani are reduced and analysed. 34 Doppler maps are obtained and the problem of how to parameterise the information content of Doppler maps is discussed. Three approaches for parameter extraction are introduced and applied to all maps: average temperature, separated for several latitude bands; fractional spottedness; and, for the analysis of structural temperature distribution, longitudinal and latitudinal spot-occurrence functions. The resulting values do not show a distinct correlation with the proposed activity cycle as seen from photometric long-term observations, thereby suggesting that the photometric activity cycle is not accompanied by a spot cycle as seen on the Sun. The general morphology of the spot pattern on EI Eri remains persistent for the whole period of 11 years. In addition, a detailed parameter study is performed. Improved orbital parameters suggest that EI Eri might be complemented by a third star in a wide orbit of about 19 years. Preliminary differential rotation measurements are carried out, indicating an anti-solar orientation.

Texto completoThe formation of gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) in Messinian Mediterranean marginal basins is controlled by basin restriction and the local hydrological cycle. Acting together, evaporation, river input and restricted water exchange with the Mediterranean basin bring about the chemical conditions for gypsum formation. Basin restriction also leads to enhanced microbial oxygen consumption, anoxia, and the triggering of active biogeochemical sulfur cycling. In this work I use the stable isotopic composition of gypsum as a proxy of water and sulphur cycling in the marginal basins. The goal is to better understand the hydrological and geochemical conditions that lead to gypsum precipitation. This is an open question, especially since recent work has proposed that part of the gypsum in marginal basins precipitated from a low-salinity (£ 35 PSU) water column - a hypothesis that seems unrealistic based on simple geochemical considerations. I carried out a high-resolution isotopic study of gypsum layers composing gypsum-marl cycles in the Messinian Caltanissetta (Sicily) and Piedmont (north-western Italy) marginal basins (CB and PB, respectively). These gypsum-marl cycles are thought to be the sedimentary expression of astronomical precession cycles (~20 kyr), during which the marginal basins experienced a succession of arid and wet conditions. The hydrological cycle was tracked by measuring the oxygen and hydrogen isotope composition of the gypsum-bound water molecule; the biogeochemical sulfur cycle was tracked by measuring the sulfur and oxygen isotope composition of the gypsum sulfate ion. I observed that: (1) the isotopes of gypsum-bound water are considerably lighter than those expected for gypsum precipitated via evaporation of seawater, and (2) water in the Caltanissetta basin was characterized by a higher deuterium deficit - compared to its 18O content - than water in the Piedmont basin. In conjunction with a hydrological box-model, these observations imply that (1) gypsum precipitation takes place under the influence of large riverine freshwater fluxes, particularly in the North Piedmont basin, that result in very low salinities (27-50 psu in CB and 10-42 psu in PB) and (2) the contrast in deuterium deficit results from atmospheric humidity-drived difference in the deuterieum content of the evaporative flux, implying that the atmosphere over the CB was drier than that over the PB. Thus, a latitudinal relative humidity gradient similar to the modern one existed in the Messinian, providing evidence for a Mediterranean-like climate in the region 5.97 million years ago. The isotopic composition of the gypsum sulfate ion suggests that it originates from coeval sea water. Deviation from the Messinian marine signature, however, highlights an active biogeochemical sulfur cycle driven by sulfate reduction and sulfide oxidation. In particular, (1) 18O- and 34S-rich sulfate in the Piedmont basin indicates sulfate-reduction in a geochemically open system where 32S is lost to sedimentary sulfide minerals, and (2) significant 18O-enrichment (CB) or 18O-depletion (PB), in samples where the 34S concent is that of seawater, indicates re-oxidation of sulphide in a geochemically closed system of an evaporative (CB) or dilution (PB) marginal basin. A strong relation between the hydrological cycle and the biogeochemical cycle is thus highlighted in marginal Messinian basins

Texto completoThe lytic cycle of EBV plays an important role in pathologies associated with this virus. Involved in manufacturing of the viral capsid, protease (PR) is essential for infectious virions production. It represents thereby a prime target for a therapeutic strategy to inhibit viral replication. In this work, the therapeutic efficiency of siRNA targeting EBV-PR was tested on 293 epithelial cells transfected with EBV B95-8 genome. The decrease of PR mRNA was measured by quantitative RT-PCR, the amount of expressed protein by Western blot, and the number of produced infectious viral particles by super-infection of Raji cells. The efficiency of the best siRNA anti-PR was compared to that of anti-DNA polymerase anti-CMV drug and then assessed in combination with siRNA targeting other lytic cycle proteins of EBV. The anti-PR siRNA tested here allow getting a 70% decrease of PR mRNA, 35% of protein and 95% of infectious viral particles number. Compared to anti-DNA polymerase, only the siRNA anti-PR enables a significant reduction of infectious viral particles number and its association with ganciclovir increases even more its effectiveness (p <0. 05). Similarly, the association with siRNA targeting other lytic cycle proteins allows raising the inhibition of infectious viral particles production. RNAi targeting EBV-PR seems an interesting therapeutic way, possibly in combination with conventional therapeutics and / or with other siRNA anti-EBV, to limit viral replication in EBV associated diseases
