ABSTRACT
James A. Mackay was a decorated World War II veteran, who returned to Georgia in 1945, determined to make a difference in the segregated world of Georgia politics. He was a staunch opponent of Georgia’s county unit system that entrenched political power in rural counties. From 1950 through 1964 he was a state house member who fought to keep Georgia public schools open in the face of political opposition to desegregation. Elected to Congress in 1964, he was one of two deep-South congressmen who voted in favor of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. In 1967 he co-founded the Georgia Conservancy. For the next 25 years he was Georgia’s leading environmentalist. This thesis explores Mackay’s life from 1919-1950 and the significance of his parents, his experiences at Emory University, World War II, his legal challenge to the county unit system, and his role in writing Who Runs Georgia?

This thesis explores the musical world and the song compositions of eighteenth-century Sutherland Gaelic bard Rob Donn MacKay (1714-1778). The principal focus is musical rather than literary, aimed at developing an analytical model to reconstruct how a non-literate Gaelic song-maker chose and composed the music for his songs. In that regard, the thesis breaks new ground in at least two ways: as the first full-length study of the musical work of Rob Donn, and as the first full-length musical study of any eighteenth-century Scottish Gaelic poet. Among other things, it demonstrates that a critical assessment of Rob Donn merely as a “poet” seriously underestimates his achievement in combining words and music to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. The study also illustrates how widely melodic material circulated in eighteenth-century Scotland through aural transmission, easily crossing between languages and between instrumental and vocal music. The thesis includes a musical biography, a review of sources and commentary on Rob Donn, an introduction to relevant theoretical concepts in ethnomusicology and related fields, and a survey of eighteenth-century Scottish music, followed by several chapters analyzing the music of one hundred songs by topic (elegies; social and political commentary; love, courtship and weddings; satire and humor; and praise, nature and sea songs). The study shows that Rob Donn borrowed tunes for 67 of these songs from earlier sources (45% from Gaelic song, 25% from Scots song, 12% from English or Irish song, and 18% from instrumental tunes). It then provides evidence that he composed the melodies of 33 songs, examining in detail how he adapted earlier musical models and created musical settings to reinforce aspects of his poetic message. It also analyzes the musical features of all 100 songs, providing charts summarizing their vocal range, musical meter, scales and tonality. The thesis is accompanied by two appendices, one containing 121 musical settings of the 100 songs, and the other containing their complete texts with English translations (most translated here for the first time).

For D.M. MacKay, the notion of complementary descriptions was a very powerful though somewhat controversial logical tool. As a brain scientist with strong philosophical and religious interests, MacKay used this tool to bring together aspects of his thinking that others in his position often allow to remain disparate. His primary use of this tool was to understand the relationship between physiological brain descriptions on the one hand and the psychological and spiritual descriptions of cognitive psychology and theological anthropology on the other. He also argued, more broadly, for the complementary relationship between science and theology and, more narrowly, for the complementary relationship between deterministic ‘observer-only’ descriptions and libertarian ‘agent-oriented’ descriptions. He called this complementarity-based world view ‘Comprehensive Realism’. The research hypothesis of this thesis will be that Comprehensive Realism offers a way of dealing with the problem known in contemporary Anglo/American philosophy as ‘the mind/body problem’ that is fully compatible with evangelical Christian theology. In the first two chapters, we will introduce the mind/body problem as it has presented itself to the Christian Church throughout history with special attention to the modern philosophical debate as it progressed throughout D.M. MacKay’s career. In chapters three, four and five, we will discuss MacKay’s doctrine of logical complementarity and how he applied this concept to the mind/body problem and the closely related philosophical debate over freedom and determinism. Since contemporary debate over the mind/body problem among Christian philosophical theologians has centred around individuals eschatology, in chapters six and seven we will discuss MacKay’s limited treatment of the bodily resurrection and, in response to several theories that have been put forward since MacKay’s death, propose a more extended Comprehensive Realist account based upon the fundamental principles of MacKay’s philosophical theology.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Organisations all over the world have attempted to decrease at–risk behaviour by targeting at–risk acts, exclusive of safe acts, and using corrective feedback, reprimands, or disciplinary actions to motivate behaviour change. Research has shown that this approach was useful but did not improve since it was a reactive approach and not proactive. In an attempt to stem the tide of safety related incidence they have implemented Behaviour–based Safety. However, as is the case with other initiatives, this one also showed early results but started to plateau towards to end.
Aside from safety behaviour, demographic variables and constructs such as sense of Self–esteem, Self–efficacy and Work Locus of Control have a direct effect on the associated safety behaviour of employees. These styles may either be effective or ineffective, or have a direct impact on the demonstrated safety behaviour within the petrochemical company.
The purpose of this research study was to determine the possible relationship between individual characteristics, specifically Self–esteem, Self–efficacy and Work Locus of Control, and safety behaviour. A convenience survey design was used. The sample of 201 represented managers, supervisors and employees in a petrochemical company. A battery of four questionnaires were utilised, namely Self–esteem, the Generalised Perceived Self–efficacy Scale (GPSES), the Work Locus of Control Scale (WLOC) and a Safety Behaviour scale specifically designed for this study.
In this research study, individual characteristics and safety behaviour is conceptualised. Individuals with a high self–esteem may have an accurate, justified, balanced appreciation of their worth or value as a person and their successes and competencies. Self–efficacy can be conceptualised as a general, stable trait, which relates to individuals' beliefs regarding the ability to mobilise their motivation, cognitive resources and actions to comply with demands from a situation. In respect of locus of control it refers to individuals' beliefs regarding their behaviour and the outcomes thereof. Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that outcomes in their lives are the result of their own internal attributes, as opposed to individuals with an external locus of control who believe that outcomes in their lives are beyond their control.
Cronbach alpha coefficients and factor analysis were used to determine the reliability and validity of the tests. Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, skewness and kurtosis) were used in the compiling of the profile of safety behaviour and individual characteristics as manifested in the group.
In summary, results of the present study indicate that Self–esteem, Work Locus of Control, and Generalised Self–efficacy are significant predictors of safety behaviour. However, there is much to be known about the exact nature of the traits (whether or not these are indicators of the broader core self–evaluations construct) and the processes by which they affect these outcomes. In light of the similar correlations of the traits with satisfaction and performance observed here, and the high correlations among the traits, future research considering these traits together appears warranted.
Recommendations for further research were made, as well as recommendations with regard to the company concerned.Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis represents the first extensive examination of the ‘faithful fictions’ of the Orkney writer George Mackay Brown (1921-1996). Until now, critical appreciations of the Catholic imagination informing Brown’s opus have been vague and Brown has been seen as a throwback; his Catholicism only part of a reactionary impulse that denies modernity a place in his oeuvre. Through a thematic critical analysis of four major strands of Brown’s corpus that display his Catholic imagination, it is contended that Brown has been misunderstood by the Scottish literary-critical tradition, and that his creative work on religious subjects is diverse, experimental and devotional. The thesis provides a biography of Brown’s faith. It looks at his conversion accounts, and it discusses the interaction between these and other accounts of (spiritual) autobiography. The thesis looks in a detailed way at three mediators of grace in Brown’s faithful fictions: the Virgin Mary, St Magnus, and Christ, whose nativity Brown frequently depicts. By discussing their different roles, depictions and the various literary forms that tell their stories, this study will discover the ways in which Brown encapsulates his Catholic faith in his creative work. The thesis questions whether Catholicism harms his literary output, as some critics have suggested, and shows the ways in which Brown’s writing interacts with other Catholic literature – old and new, at home and abroad. Manuscripts, including several unpublished poems, plays and stories, will be referenced throughout, as will rare and unseen correspondence. The thesis takes in the entire scope of Brown’s body of work and is not limited to a single mode or genre in his corpus. Ultimately, this study contends that Brown is an excellent case-study of the neglected Catholic writer in twentieth-century Scotland, and that there is much work to be done in appraising the Catholic imaginations of many post-Reformation Scottish Catholic writers.

The novels of George Mackay Brown have often been read as upholding a traditional ideal of community as that which is singular and complete, a community which exists outside time and history. As this thesis will show, however, Brown emphasises themes of community, history and myth in his work not in order to validate them without reservation, but to question what use these ideas may have in contemporary life. By reading his novels in conjunction with the work of continental theorists ranging from Martin Heidegger to Jean-Luc Nancy, it becomes apparent that Brown critically explores a post-Kantian modernity in which metaphysical or faith-based foundations are no longer possible. Brown's greatest theme throughout his work is not only how community is built and maintained, but also how it is destroyed, and what life remains after that destruction. Brown continually problematises the idea of community in order to show both its relevance and impossibility in modern society. In separately regarding each of Brown's novels in length, this thesis will highlight the various approaches Brown takes to community: the potentially romantic view of community in Beside the Ocean of time; the centrality of sacrifice for the establishing of community in Magnus; and the interections between community and history in Time in a Red Coat, and Vinland. The thesis then turns directly to the question of the relation between individuals and community in Greenvoe, and ends with a discussion of the way in which Brown portrays his own relation to community in his nonfiction and autobiographical writings. Throughout the thesis, the prevailing notion of Brown as a parochial or naive writer will be continually questioned. In addition, by integrating a wide variety of continental theorists into a discussion of Brown's work, this thesis will explore new opportunities for the general study of contemporary Scottish fiction. By revealing Brown to be a more nuanced thinker of the relation between modernity and community than previous critics have allowed, this thesis will both offer a new perspective on Brown's novels and open new paths for the discussion of the role of community in modern literature.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
South African short-term insurers are finding it increasingly more difficult to maintain their market value amidst unpredictable and erratic economic conditions. In addition, the short-term insurance industry is faced with two major challenges: the growing number of direct short-term insurers entering the industry, and the significant decline in customer retention rates.
Based on the literature review, it was found that these challenges present short-term insurers with a strategic imperative – they need to adopt a CRM approach, incorporating an integrated customer focus aimed at developing long-term relationships with customers. If they want to succeed in this pursuit, short-term insurers need to understand their customers‟ perceptions of the service offering, their existing relationship with the insurer, their levels of satisfaction, and their behavioural intentions towards the insurer.
The primary objective of this study was to determine the influence of both direct and indirect short-term insurers‟ service quality and benefits derived from being in a relationship with the insurer, specifically on their customers‟ levels of satisfaction, their loyalty, and positive word- of-mouth intentions. In this vein, the study also sheds light on how short-term insurers can adapt their marketing strategies in order to develop and maintain successful long-term relationships with their customers.
The study followed a descriptive research design. Convenience sampling was used to select suitable respondents, and data was collected by means of mall-intercept, person-administered surveys from individuals residing in the Gauteng Province of South Africa and who currently have short-term insurance. A sample size of 891 responses was realised.
The results from the study indicate that respondents’perceptions of their insurers’ service quality offering do not differ significantly from their expectations. In other words, respondents seem to be satisfied with their insurers’ services. Results furthermore showed that quality services and additional relational benefits positively influence respondents’ levels of satisfaction with their short-term insurers, which in turn influence their intentions to remain loyal to their insurers or to communicate positively about them. In addition, no significant differences were observed between direct and indirect short-term insurance respondents with regard to service quality, relational benefits, customer satisfaction, or behavioural intention.
Based on the results, this study proposes a model that sets out to demonstrate how South African short-term insurers can utilise service quality and relational benefits to realise and improve customer satisfaction, in order to encourage positive behavioural intentions among their customers.
It is recommended that, in order to differentiate themselves, short-term insurers (both direct and indirect) should ensure that their service quality offerings are superior to those of their competitors’. Short-term insurers can attain high quality service offerings by paying special attention to their reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy. It is also recommended that short-term insurers should attempt to provide the same levels of relational benefits to all of their customers, independent of demographic differences, as a way to improve the overall morale and satisfaction of their customers. Since no significant differences were found in terms of different groups of respondents, it is further recommended that short-term insurers should differentiate themselves by customising their target market(s), through focusing their service and relational offerings on specific demographic, geographic, and psychographic segments. Finally, it is recommended that short-term insurers should use the model developed in this study with a view to improve the overall effectiveness of their CRM efforts.
Recommendations for future research include extending this study to other South African provinces, in order to determine whether differences exist between respondents from different geographic locations. Future research can include representative numbers of respondents from each individual short-term insurer with a view to attain more accurate and representative information regarding specific insurers. A similar study can also be conducted among long-term insurers in order to determine whether the insurance industry in its entirety can benefit from the findings from this study. Finally, future research can test the CRM model presented in this study in the context of other service industries to determine its relevance and applicability.Thesis (PhD (Marketing management))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013

This project investigated which aspects of being flooded most affected mental health outcomes. It found that stress in the aftermath of the flood, during the clean-up and rebuilding phase, including stress due to difficulties with insurance companies, was a previously overlooked risk factor, and social support and sense of belonging were the strongest protective factors. Implications for community recovery following disasters include providing effective targeting of support services throughout the lengthy rebuilding phase; the need to co-ordinate tradespeople; and training for insurance company staff aimed at minimising the incidence of insurance company staff inadvertently adding to disaster victims' stress.

Resumo: Nos últimos anos, os acidentes ambientais têm sido cada vez mais comuns. Esses acidentes vêm causando impactos significativos para o meio ambiente e às populações que fazem uso dos recursos naturais. Devido ao vazamento de endossulfan no rio Pirapetinga e consequentemente no rio Paraíba do Sul, ocorrido no ano de 2008, foi elaborado um estudo para analisar o desempenho de modelos matemáticos que descrevem o comportamento do poluente no meio ambiente, comparando os resultados obtidos com aqueles fornecidos pelos órgãos de controle e de fiscalização ambiental. Os modelos matemáticos empregados foram os modelos de comportamento de Mackay e o dinâmico de Fick. Visando a estimativa da distribuição do teor de endossulfan, determinaram-se os parâmetros dos compartimentos do modelo de Mackay, utilizando os valores reais para água e sedimentos. Para o modelo de Fick, os parâmetros foram obtidos com base nos relatórios do acidente. Para a determinação da distribuição espacial do endossulfan, realizou-se o georreferenciamento do domínio da solução do modelo de Fick, incluindo rios onde ocorreu a dispersão do poluente. Os resultados obtidos mostraram-se satisfatórios, e pode-se concluir ambos os modelos apresentam eficiência em prever a distribuição do composto, possibilitando uma rápida solução.

Australian bass (Macquaria novemaculeata Steindachner) fingerlings are currently available from fish hatcheries but little work has been carried out on the grow-out of this species. The aim of this investigation was to provide information on the diet and growth of the species in two managed growth ponds; a nursery pond and a grow-out pond.
The growth of Australian bass was found to be superior to that of wild bass populations, although survival rate was very low. After 54 weeks, mean total length was 132mm (range 108-151 mm) and mean weight was 28.94g (range 16.31-41.869). Length-weight relationships for bass were determined for each study pond:
log10W = -5.262 + 3.226Iog10TL (nursery pond)
log10W = -4.768 + 2.930log10TL (grow-out pond)
where W is weight (g) and TL is total length (mm).

where W is weight (g) and TL is total length (mm). Relative condition was determined by the formulae nursery pond with age. Relative condition was not significantly related to surface water temperature or pH, but was close to significant for Secchi depth.
The proximate composition of Australian bass varied significantly with age. Moisture content decreased from 78% to 68% between 6 and 15 weeks of age, but remained at approximately 70% up to 54 weeks. Crude protein content remained relatively constant. Crude lipid varied seasonally, reaching a peak of 27.5% in mid-summer (24 weeks of age). Mineral content increased by 3% over the study period. The relationships between total length and mineral content and total length and moisture content of Australian bass were well described by linear regression equations. Equations could not adequately describe the relationship between total length and protein and lipid content of Australian bass. Similar relationships were found between fish age and the same proximate components. The amino acid composition of 12 and 54 week old Australian bass remained relatively constant. Although significant differences occurred in the glycine, hydroxyproline, praline, taurine and tyrosine content these are not essential amino acids. The amino acid profile of Australian bass was similar to other freshwater fishes.
In culture ponds bass ingested most available food types. The diet initially consisted of zooplankton and aquatic insects and later included gudgeons. Notable exceptions from the diet were aquatic coleoptera, amphibians and errestrial insects. Bass up to 125mm TL (total length), or approximately 41 weeks of age, ingested zooplankton. Dipteran larvae, (especially chironomid larvae), ephemeropteran nymphs and trichopteran larvae were other numerically important prey types. Despite the availability of gudgeons
(Hypseleotris spp.) they did not appear in the diet until 28 weeks of age.
Australian bass displayed diurnal feeding behaviour at 12 and 28 weeks of age, but not at 50 weeks. Significantly higher numbers of zooplankters were ingested during daylight hours. In contrast, feeding on aquatic insects was not restricted to any specific time, but varied with each prey taxon.
Despite the generalised nature of the diet, bass were selective feeders, selecting cyclopoid copepods, Moina sp., ephemeroptera and culicidae. Corixids and notonectids were not selected prey items. The criteria for selection of food items would appear to be prey mobility and evasiveness.
On the basis of the results obtained in this study it is suggested that the extensive culture potential of the Australian bass warrants further investigation, especially in the areas of water quality tolerances of the species (specifically turbidity tolerances) and the maximum growth rates possible on natural foods.

In this study I attempt to draw attention to the complexities behind the "making" of George Mackay Brown. I re-address the question of his literary rating by contextualising his work within the broader framework of twentieth-century British and European literary practices and traditions of thought. Whilst duly acknowledging the significance of Brown's Orcadian background, this study is based on the perception that it is the creative tension between Orkney as a source of potent symbols and patterns and other literary and extra-literary influences that gives his work a distinct profile. Rather than following the question of what Brown did for Orkney and for Orcadian or Scottish literature and literary identity, I examine what Scottish, English and European writing and writers did for Brown and how they helped to define his aesthetic and spiritual stance. Accordingly, I set his work, for contrast and comparison among the works of writers who profoundly influenced him. After establishing the background to Brown-scholarship in chapter one, clarifying the reception of Brown in Britain as well as discussing factors that affected the evaluation of his work, I proceed in chapter two with a consideration of Brown's and Muir's literary and personal relationship. Chapter three establishes a case of affinity and influence between Hopkins and Brown. Separated chronologically, the two poets are yet remarkably contemporaneous in their spiritual vision and their approach to poetry and the word. Hopkins provided a stimulus for Brown to look for a system that would allow him to exercise and deploy the latent power and the unused resources in the English language. Moreover, their shared religious beliefs are further connected to their prophetic and bardic conception of the poetic office and the poetic techniques they use.

This thesis researched how the anthropological claims of the Aborigines as a 'doomed race' in the decades between 1850 and 1870 became embedded and manifested in pervasive ideologies forming the racist protectionist policies framed in Queensland's Aboriginals Protection and Restriction of the Sale of Opium Act - 1897. Administering the Act was the government appointed Chief Protector of Aboriginals. Conferred with extraordinary powers, Chief Protectors acted and made decisions on behalf of successive governments who displayed little interest in Aboriginal affairs. Amendments to the Act between 1897 and 1939 reflected personal agendas and attitudes towards Aborigines by respective Chief Protectors. Conclusively, the research outcomes show that the 'doomed race' theory became a subterfuge for governments to mask society's racial prejudice against Indigenous peoples and allowed governments to dispossess the Indigenous people of their traditional lands without question from white settlers.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The objective of this thesis is the study of Burnside and Mackey theories for abstract groupoids, which are natural generalizations of groups.
In fact, a groupoid can be thought as a group with many objects.
In Chapter 1 we will start explaining the basic properties of groupoids and after that, we will prove some properties of the two monoidal structures on the category of groupoid-sets (generalizations of group-sets). Namely, the structure given by the coproduct, that is, the disjoint union, and the other one given by the fibre product over the set of objects of the groupoid, considered canonically as a groupoid-set.
In Chapter 2 we will develop a theory of conjugations for subgroupoids, showing the deep differences with the group case.
Moreover, we will use this theory to prove a version of the Burnside Theorem for groupoids, with the appropriate finiteness hypotheses.
In Chapter 3 we will prove a version of the famous Mackey formula for group-bisets in the case of groupoid-bisets, showing its efficacy with a specific example.
In Chapter 4 we will discuss the equivalence of two groupoids as categories and what this implies for the groupoid-biset categories involved.
In Chapter 5, following the classical path, we will develop a Burnside theory for groupoids, showing that the Burnside ring of a groupoid is isomorphic to the direct product of the Burnside rings of its isotropy group types. This puts in evidence that the classical methods only lead to the study of a part of the poset of subgroupoids, as the subgroupoids with several objects don't show up.
In Chapter 6 we will develop a categorification of the classical notion of groupoid-set, replacing it with an internal category in the category of groupoid-sets, called a categorified groupoid-set.
Subsequently, we will use this notion to construct a new Burnside theory for groupoids and we will finish showing that, even in this case, the categorified Burnside ring of a groupoid is isomorphic to the direct product of the categorified Burnside rings of its isotropy group types.
This makes manifest that the study of groupoids needs more sophisticated tools and techniques than the traditional ones.
In the appendixes we will explain how to pass from a rig (also called semiring), that is, a ring without additive inverses, to a ring, using a construction called Grothendieck functor.
This notion is crucial to both the Burnside theories we developed.
Moreover, in the last appendix we will collect some definitions about monoidal categories, to fix the employed terminology, and we will prove a known result on monoidal functors whose whole proof we have been unable to find elsewhere.L'obiettivo di questa tesi è lo studio delle teorie di Mackey e Burnside per i gruppoidi astratti, che sono generalizzazioni naturali dei gruppi. Infatti, un gruppoide può essere pensato come un gruppo con molti oggetti. Nel Capitolo 1 verranno innanzitutto illustrate le proprietà basilari dei gruppoidi; successivamente, verranno provate alcune proprietà delle due strutture monoidali sulla categoria dei groupoid-set (generalizzazioni dei group-set). Per la precisione, la struttura data dal coprodotto, cioè l'unione disgiunta, e la struttura data dal prodotto fibrato sull'insieme degli oggetti del gruppoide, considerato in modo canonico come un groupoid-set. Nel Capitolo 2 verrà sviluppata una teoria delle coniugazioni per i sottogruppoidi, mostrando le profonde differenze con il caso dei gruppi. Inoltre, questa teoria verrà utilizzata per provare una versione del teorema di Burnside per i gruppoidi, con le appropriate ipotesi di finitezza. Nel Capitolo 3 verrà provata una versione della famosa formula di Mackey per i group-biset nel caso dei groupoid-biset, mostrando la sua efficacia con uno specifico esempio. Nel Capitolo 4 verrà discussa l'equivalenza di due gruppoidi come categorie e cosa questo implichi per le categorie di groupoid-biset coinvolte. Nel Capitolo 5, seguendo la teoria classica, verrà sviluppata una teoria di Burnside per i gruppoidi, mostrando come l'anello di Burnside di un gruppoide sia isomorfo al prodotto diretto degli anelli di Burnside dei suoi gruppi di isotropia, uno per ogni componente connessa. Tutto ciò dimostra chiaramente come i metodi classici conducano allo studio solamente di una parte del poset dei sottogruppoidi, dato che i sottogruppoidi con più di un oggetto non compaiono. Nel Capitolo 6 verrà sviluppata una categorificazione della classica nozione di groupoid-set, sostituendolo con una categoria interna alla categoria dei groupoid-set, chiamata un groupoid-set categorificato. Successivamente, questa nozione verrà utilizzata per costruire una nuova teoria di Burnside per i gruppoidi e, infine, verrà dimostrato come, anche in questo caso, l'anello di Burnside categorificato di un gruppoide sia isomorfo al prodotto diretto degli anelli di Burnside categorificati dei suoi gruppi di isotropia, uno per ogni componente connessa. Tutto ciò dimostra come lo studio dei gruppoidi necessiti di tecniche e strumenti più sofisticati di quelli tradizionali. Nelle appendici verrà spiegato come passare da un rig (chiamato anche semianello), cioè un anello privo degli inversi additivi, a un anello, usando una costruzione chiamata funtore di Grothendieck. Questa nozione è cruciale per entrambe le teorie di Burnside sviluppate in questa tesi. Inoltre, nell'ultima appendice verranno riunite alcune definizioni sulle categorie monoidali, per fissare la terminologia utilizzata, e verrà provato un risultato conosciuto del quale, però, non si riesce a trovare altrove la dimostrazione.

Cette thèse explore deux applications distinctes de la théorie du contrôle dans différents domaines scientifiques : la physique et les neurosciences. La première application se concentre sur la contrôlabilité nulle de l'équation parabolique associée à l'opérateur de Baouendi-Grushin sur la sphère de dimension 2. En revanche, la deuxième application concerne la description mathématique des illusions visuelles du type MacKay, et se focalise sur l'effet MacKay et les expériences psychophysiques de Billock et Tsou, via le contrôle de l'équation des champs neuronaux à une seule couche du type Amari. De plus, pour le besoin d'application à la stabilité entrée-état et la stabilisation robuste, la thèse examine l'existence d'un équilibre dans un modèle de population de champs neuronaux à plusieurs couches de Wilson-Cowan, plus précisément lorsque l'entrée sensorielle est un retour d'état proportionnelle agissant uniquement sur l'état des populations de neurones excitateurs.Dans la première partie, nous étudions les propriétés de contrôlabilité nulle de l'équation parabolique associée à l'opérateur de Baouendi-Grushin défini par la structure presque-riemannienne canonique sur la sphère bidimensionnelle. Cet opérateur présente une dégénérescence à l'équateur de la sphère. Nous fournissons certaines propriétés de contrôlabilité nulle de cette équation dans ce cadre courbé, ce qui généralise celles de l'équation parabolique de Baouendi-Grushin définie sur le plan.Concernant les neurosciences, dans un premier temps, on s'intéresse à la description des illusions visuelles pour lesquelles les outils de la théorie du contrôle et même de l'analyse multiéchelle semblent inappropriés.Dans notre discussion, nous utilisons l'équation des champs neuronaux de type Amari, dans laquelle l'entrée sensorielle est interprétée comme une représentation corticale du stimulus visuel utilisé dans chaque expérience. Elle contient une fonction de contrôle distribuée localisée qui modélise la spécificité du stimulus, par exemple, l'information redondante au centre du motif en entonnoir de MacKay (``rayons de MacKay'') ou le fait que les stimuli visuels dans les expériences de Billock et Tsou sont localisés dans le champ visuel.Toujours dans le cadre des neurosciences, nous étudions l'existence d'un équilibre dans un modèle de population de champs neuronaux à plusieurs couches de Wilson-Cowan lorsque l'entrée sensorielle est un retour d'état proportionnelle agissant uniquement sur l'état du système des populations de neurones excitateurs. Nous proposons une condition suffisante modérée sur les fonctions de réponse garantissant l'existence d'un tel point d'équilibre. L'intérêt de ce travail réside dans son application lors de l'étude de la pertubation des oscillations cérébrales pathologiques associées à la maladie de Parkinson lorsqu'on stimule et mesure uniquement la population de neurones excitateursThis thesis explores two distinct control theory applications in different scientific domains: physics and neuroscience. The first application focuses on the null controllability of the parabolic, spherical Baouendi-Grushin equation. In contrast, the second application involves the mathematical description of the MacKay-type visual illusions, focusing on the MacKay effect and Billock and Tsou's psychophysical experiments by controlling the one-layer Amari-type neural fields equation. Additionally, intending to study input-to-state stability and robust stabilization, the thesis investigates the existence of equilibrium in a multi-layer neural fields population model of Wilson-Cowan, specifically when the sensory input is a proportional feedback acting only on the system's state of the populations of excitatory neurons.In the first part, we investigate the null controllability properties of the parabolic equation associated with the Baouendi-Grushin operator defined by the canonical almost-Riemannian structure on the 2-dimensional sphere. It presents a degeneracy at the equator of the sphere. We provide some null controllability properties of this equation to this curved setting, which generalize that of the parabolic Baouendi-Grushin equation defined on the plane.Regarding neuroscience, initially, the focus lies on the description of visual illusions for which the tools of bifurcation theory and even multiscale analysis appear unsuitable. In our study, we use the neural fields equation of Amari-type in which the sensory input is interpreted as a cortical representation of the visual stimulus used in each experiment. It contains a localised distributed control function that models the stimulus's specificity, e.g., the redundant information in the centre of MacKay's funnel pattern (``MacKay rays'') or the fact that visual stimuli in Billock and Tsou's experiments are localized in the visual field.Always within the framework of neurosciences, we investigate the existence of equilibrium in a multi-layers neural fields population model of Wilson-Cowan when the sensory input is a proportional feedback that acts only on the system's state of the population of excitatory neurons. There, we provide a mild condition on the response functions under which such an equilibrium exists. The interest of this work lies in its application in studying the disruption of pathological brain oscillations associated with Parkinson's disease when stimulating and measuring only the population of excitatory neurons

This thesis has three parts. In the first part, we analyze the homological algebra of cohomological Mackey functors, for cyclic p-groups. We study basic properties of homological algebra of cohomological Mackey functors, give examples of computations and study how homological invariants interact with subgroups and quotient groups. The second part consists of computation of RO(G)-graded ho- motopy Mackey functors of HZ, the Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum of the constant Mackey functor of integers, and how these computations further help in under- standing the homological algebra. The third part is an investigation into the slice filtration of [HHR16] and [Ull13a]. We prove a theorem on equivalence of slice categories for cyclic p-groups, then gives constructions of slices of suspensions of HZ, especially for cyclic groups of order p2.

Comment comprendre le changement des modalites qui president au succes dans la competition electorale et leurs transformations dynamiques ? comment certains individus plutot que d'autres parviennent-ils a anticiper certaines formations et a s'adapter ? l'election du suffrage universel masculin officialisee de maniere plus durable a compter de la seconde moitie du xixe n'appelle-telle pas la formation graduelle d'un travail specifique et specialise dans l'art et la maniere de queter les suffrages ? comment enfin a savoir specialise mis en oeuvre par des candidats confrontes a l'epreuve de la nomination elective les conduit-ils a faconner une image a proprement parler politique du deroulement comme de l'issue des luttes electorales dont ils font l'experience ? telles sont quelques unes des principales questions sous jacentes au present travail de recherche qui se focalise sur le probleme de la naissance de la figure du professionnel de la politique. Pour tenter d'apporter des elements de reponse a ces interrogations de portee generale, on s'est propose de s'appuyer sur l'observation d'un individu particulier - le baron armand de mackau (1832-1918)- comme aussi sur le reseau de relations qu'il entretenait avec ses autres collegues avoues elus entre 1848 et 1940afin de penser le proces de la professionnalisation d'un espace politique saisi a partir de ce que fait un homme qui se trouve engage dans ce processus de transformation qu'il contribue a faire advenir, mais qu'en aucun cas il ne contribue a faire advenir seul, on s'est efforce d'inscrire ce travail dans une perspective sociogenetique en s'inspirant notamment de la theorie generale des formations sociales developpee par norbert elias dans ses differents ouvragesThis work deals with the invention of the professionnal politicians in france after 1848- it pays attention to the changing ways by which candidates tried to be elected in rural constituencies in an era of democratic transition (1860-1918). A survey- the political biography of the baron armand de mackau (1832-1918) and of his colleagues from the orne department - allows usto examine this general process of profession nalization in political field. It appears that the invention of the political profession is the result of competition and social rivalies between "notables" and "entrepreneurs"in a manner to think these tensions between candidates which produced this political professionnalization, this work used a sociogenetical perspective, in the wake of norbert elias framework

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / November 04-07, 1991 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaNASA’s reaction to requirements for the Space Station Freedom era’s telemetry data systems has been the continuing effort to combine a modular design approach with stateof-the-art VLSI technology for developing telemetry data processing systems. As part of this effort, NASA’s Data Systems Technology Division, in cooperation with Clemson University, is developing a Macintosh II based Telemetry and Command (MacTAC) system. This system performs telemetry data processing functions including frame synchronization, Reed-Solomon decoding, and packet reassembly at moderate data rates of 5 Mbps (20 Mbps burst). The MacTAC is a low-cost, transportable, easy to use, compact system designed to meet requirements specified by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) while remaining flexible enough to support a wide variety of other user specific telemetry processing requirements (e.g., TDM data). In addition, the MacTAC can accept or generate forward data (such as spacecraft commands), calculate and append a Polynomial Check Code (PCC), and output this data to NASCOM to provide full Telemetry and Command (TAC) capability. Semi-custom VLSI gate arrays perform the return link functions of NASCOM deblocking, correlation, and frame synchronization. Reed-Solomon decoding (for error detection) and packet reassembly are also performed by modern microprocessor and semi-custom VLSI components. The local user interface is a standard Macintosh application with the wellknown look and feel of the Macintosh environment. A remote interface is possible via Ethernet which allows the system to be completely controlled from any location capable of generating the required remote operating commands. Return link data may be viewed in real time on the local or remote user interface screen in a variety of formats along with system status information. In addition, data may also be archived on SCSI disks for later retrieval and analysis as needed. This paper describes the general architecture and functionality of this MacTAC system including the particular custom telemetry cards, the various input/output interfaces, and the icon driven user interface.

O presente trabalho se propõe a analisar algumas concepções sobre o Oriente, correntes na primeira metade do século XX, que interferiram diretamente na escrita de Camilo Pessanha (1867-1926) sobre a vida chinesa. Morador de Macau por cerca de 26 anos, escreveu alguns poucos textos em prosa que tematizam a cultura e os costumes da China, além de ter tido contato com sinólogos de destaque. Os pareceres de Pessanha sobre o Oriente, bem como o de outros atores importantes, são relevantes na medida em que revelam influências do orientalismo, do exotismo e da sinologia, de maneira a reproduzir ou desafiar certos aspectos da lógica do discurso colonial instaurado em Portugal e aplicado em Macau. Num primeiro momento, o trabalho pretende refletir sobre a atuação de Camilo Pessanha como estudioso da cultura chinesa, prática na qual é confrontado com o seu contemporâneo e colega de trabalho Silva Mendes (1867-1931), também professor no Liceu de Macau. O discurso autorizado europeu que parte da ideia de domìnio sobre povos ditos inferiores seduziu a intelectualidade ocidental, e teve forte repercussão em grande parte dos pareceres de Camilo Pessanha sobre a cultura chinesa. Mostraremos, além dessa vertente, o cotejo que alguns estudiosos da vida do poeta empreendem em relação a uma suposta aproximação com a estética do exotismo. Desenhado este panorama, propomos um esboço do que seria uma nova visão portuguesa sobre Macau, ao cotejarmos o seu passado colonial, explicitado na prática administrativa portuguesa por autores como Oliveira Martins, com as novas possibilidades de compreensão da idiossincrasia macaense, esboçadas a partir de algumas iniciativas de autores como Camilo Pessanha e Silva Mendes.This study aims at analyzing some conceptions regarding the East, present in the first half of the 20th century, which interfered directly on Camilo Pessanhas (1867-1926) writing about Chinese life. As a resident of Macao for twenty-six years, he wrote a few prose texts about Chinese life and culture, besides being in touch with some very important sinologists such as Silva Mendes (1867-1931) and José Vicente Jorge. Pessanhas remarks on the East, as well as those of other writers, are relevant for they portrait influences from Orientalism, exoticism and sinology in order to reproduce or challenge certain aspects related to the logic of the colonial discourse established in Portugal and applied in Macao. At first, this paper intends to reflect upon Camilo Pessanhas action as a student of Chinese culture, in which he is confronted by his fellow and co-worker Silva Mendes (who was also a teacher at Macaos Lyceum) as well as his pupil Luís Gonzaga Gomes (1907-1976). The European authorized discourse which derives from the idea of dominance of the so-called inferior peoples seduced the Western intellectuality and had a major impact on many of Pessanhas assessments on Chinese culture. Besides this dimension, we will also analyze a possible connection with exoticism, believed to be true by some researchers who studied the poets life. Having set the scene, we propose an outline of what would be a new Portuguese view on Macao, when comparing its colonial past, clarified in the Portuguese administrative practice by authors such as Oliveira Martins, with new possibilities for understanding Macaos idiosyncrasy, derived from some initiatives of writers like Camilo Pessanha and Silva Mendes.

Microbial communities inhabit many environmental niches including the nutrient-rich gut
systems of animals, where they are involved in a number of important processes. Insect gut
microbiota may assist the host with several functions including synthesis of nutritional
components lacking from the host diet and digestion of lignocellulosic materials. It is generally
believed that the diet of the host plays an important role in the structure of the gut microbiome.
Numerous studies have focused on insects feeding on lignocellulosic diets such as termites,
as well as medically and agriculturally important insect species. Few studies have researched
the gut microbiota of adult dung beetles. Most scarab beetle species feed on the liquid
component of wet dung, whereas Pachysoma spp. may feed on lignocellulosic materials within
their diet of dry dung, plant detritus or both. This feeding behaviour makes Pachysoma an
ideal candidate for studying the role that diet has on gut microbiome assembly.
Plant detritus feeding P. endroedyi and the dry dung feeding P. striatum were collected
from Namaqualand, South Africa. The mid- and hindgut of each individual were dissected and
mDNA extracted using a phenol-chloroform method. Amplicon sequencing of the bacterial 16S
rRNA gene and the fungal ITS region was used to determine inter- and intra-specific
differences in microbial community structures. Shotgun sequencing of the entire gut
metagenome was carried out on mDNA extracted from whole gut samples. Shotgun
sequencing was used for both taxonomic and functional annotation of the Pachysoma gut
microbiomes.
Both amplicon and shotgun sequencing detected substantial differences in bacterial and
fungal diversity between the two Pachysoma species. Amplicon sequencing showed the
number of bacterial phyla ranged from 6-11 and 4-7 (total 14 phyla) for P. endroedyi and P.
striatum, respectively. Furthermore, a minimal core microbiome was detected with only 2.57%
of the bacterial OTUs shared between the two Pachysoma species studied. Large intraspecific
variations were also noted within both Pachysoma species. Fungal communities could
not be detected in the gut of P. endroedyi, while only two fungal phyla were detected P. striatum gut samples. Metagenome shotgun sequencing detected a greater bacterial diversity
(total of 39 phyla) than the 16S rRNA gene amplicon study, although large differences were
noted between the two species. Furthermore, shotgun sequencing demonstrated that fungal
communities were present in the guts of both Pachysoma species. Archaea, viruses and other
eukaryotic microorganisms were also present in the gut metagenomes of both Pachysoma
species.
The functional capacity of the Pachysoma spp. gut microbiomes was analysed using
shotgun sequencing. Both species had the genetic capacity to degrade cellulose and
hemicellulose but not lignin, supporting the suggestion that P. striatum feeds on plant material
in the dry dung. Furthermore, the functional capacity of the microbiomes of both Pachysoma
species were comparable, suggesting the ability for both species to feed on either dry dung or
plant detritus. The similarity of the functional profiles of the two Pachysoma species suggests
the existence of a functional rather than phylogenetic core microbiome
This primary study has successfully characterised the phylogenetic and functional
profiles of the gut microbiomes of two Pachysoma species feeding on different substrates.
However, it is still unclear if diet is the primary driver in gut microbiome assembly.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2017.

This thesis intends to explore the history of the development of Mackay Memorial Hospital in the Japanese colonial period, by discussing how the hospital transformed from Mackay Mission Hospital to Mackay Memorial Hospital, its historical background and other changing factors. At first, I will give a brief introduction to the medical mission work in Taiwan during the 19th and 20th century. Then I will focus on Dr. Mackay’s medical mission work in northern Taiwan-his cooperation with those resident medical men of English community and the founding of Mackay Mission Hospital. After Dr. Mackay’s death, Dr. J.Y. Ferguson took charge of Mackay Mission Hospital. In the meantime Taiwan was occupied by Japan. Ferguson had great contribution to both Mackay Mission Hospital and Mackay Memorial Hospital, and left lots of sources about the two hospitals in The Presbyterian Record. In Chapters 2 and 3, I analyze these sources and it indicates that Dr. Ferguson had been eager to establish a brand new hospital. This thesis also contains records from Japanese medical law, trying to compare them with Medical Missionaries’ sources. The conclusion then points out that Japanese government’s medical policy affected Mackay Mission Hospital greatly, pushing it become Mackay Memorial Hospital. This transition led to the secularization of the hospital’s management.

James A. Mackay was a decorated World War II veteran, who returned to Georgia in 1945, determined to make a difference in the segregated world of Georgia politics. He was a staunch opponent of Georgia’s county unit system that entrenched political power in rural counties. From 1950 through 1964 he was a state house member who fought to keep Georgia public schools open in the face of political opposition to desegregation. Elected to Congress in 1964, he was one of two deep-South congressmen who voted in favor of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. In 1967 he co-founded the Georgia Conservancy. For the next 25 years he was Georgia’s leading environmentalist. This thesis explores Mackay’s life from 1919-1950 and the significance of his parents, his experiences at Emory University, World War II, his legal challenge to the county unit system, and his role in writing Who Runs Georgia?

The Thesis explores the life situations of the three Mackay-based groups: Aboriginal, Torres Strait and South Sea Islander through oral history research and the lived experience of an Elder from each of these groups. Using a combination of oral and written approaches, the project seeks to document ongoing interactions between the three groups from the 1930s and assess their implications for culture, identity and mobility
