Après avoir longtemps négligé l’ancrage temporel des groupes sociaux, un nombre croissant de travaux en psychologie sociale appréhende désormais les groupes comme des entités qui se meuvent à travers le temps et suggère que les représentations du passé et du futur collectifs des individus, en plus d'être continuellement (re)construites en fonction du présent, sont pertinentes pour la compréhension des comportements collectifs actuels. Cette nouvelle ligne de recherche a récemment conduit à l'idée d'un voyage mental temporel collectif (VMTC) –i.e., l'équivalent collectif du voyage mental temporel individuel, qui rassemblerait les influences croisées entre les représentations du présent, du passé et du futur du groupe des individus. Cette thèse visait à examiner les dynamiques et conséquences de ces VMTC, à la lumière de l'anomie sociétale perçue –i.e., la perception que la société actuelle est désintégrée et dérégulée. A travers neuf études corrélationnelles et expérimentales, nous avons montré que la perception d’anomie dans la société actuelle (a) façonnait les représentations du passé national des individus (e.g., une représentation plus positive de Charles de Gaulle) (b) favorisait la projection de futurs nationaux négatifs et anxiogènes et (c) influençait les relations entre les représentations du passé et du futur collectifs (e.g., une représentation de déclin national d’autant plus abrupte lorsque la société actuelle était perçue comme anomique). Par ailleurs, ces VMTC étaient à leur tour associés au soutien et à l’intention présente de s'engager dans différents types d'actions visant à défendre la France (dont des actions anti-immigration)After neglecting the temporal aspect of social groups for a long time, a growing body of research in social psychology now apprehends groups as entities that move through time and suggests that people’s representations of the collective past and future, in addition to being continuously (re)constructed according to the present, are relevant for understanding current collective behaviours. This new line of research has recently led to the idea of a collective mental time travel (CMTT) -i.e., the collective equivalent of individual mental time travel, that would gather the cross-influences between people’s representations of the group’s present, past, and future. This thesis aimed to examine the dynamics and consequences of these CMTT in light of perceived societal anomie -i.e., perceiving that current society is disintegrated and disregulated. Through nine correlational and experimental studies, we found that perceiving anomie within current society (a) lead individuals to reinterpret the national past (e.g., even more positive representations of the former French president Charles de Gaulle) (b) fostered the projection of negative, anxiety-inducing national futures and (c) influenced the relationships between people’s representations of the national past and future (e.g., declinist representations of the nation across time that were steeper when current society was perceived as highly anomic). Moreover, these CMTT were in turn associated with people’s current support for and intention to engage in various types of actions aimed at defending France (including anti-immigration actions)

The purpose with this report is to speculate how our neighborhoods could look like in the future, looking at modern collective living due to the housing crisis is Sweden today. This paper will look att different forms of collective housing, to challenge the conventional way of living. Connecting sustainability to the act of sharing space and resources, in creating a collaborative lifestyle. The research methods used in this speculative project looks at three case studies of collective housing to analyse and define different levels of sharing. During the design process one intervention was executed to challenging the norm of ownership, questioning what the act of sharing demands. The goal of this project is to change assumptions of collective living by rethinking space. To create an interlaced community, with hopes of becoming more resilient. The research and its findings worked along- side the report and developed into a zine. The zine was made with key insights from the study, as a tool to communicate the design proposal and can easily be distributed to the Swedish population.

Lo scopo di questa tesi di dottorato è immaginare un modo in cui le città possano essere pianificate tramite un approccio inclusivo. Scegliendo lEcuador come caso studio, vengono presi in esame una serie di concetti e articoli appartenenti alla Costituzione Ecuadoriana e al Piano Nazionale del 2008, focalizzandosi su argomenti come la città, la partecipazione e lautonomia. In questo modo, la ricerca tenta di rilevare le potenzialità di tale quadro istituzionale al fine di soddisfare il diritto alla città in Ecuador. In un secondo momento, la ricerca evidenzia come, nonostante la presenza di partecipazione e autonomia in questo panorama giuridico, tali principi finora sono stati attuati se non in minima parte. Per tentare di colmare questa lacuna tra teoria e pratica, la tesi esamina la storia culturale di partecipazione e autogestione del territorio ecuadoriano e sceglie di portare alla luce unantica pratica andina, tuttora esercitata, chiamata minga. Dopo averne studiato levoluzione e le cooptazioni attraverso i secoli, lattenzione si concentra sugli impatti delle mingas in diversi momenti storici nelle periferie urbane di Quito. Questa analisi è perseguita attraverso lo studio degli attori, gli eventi, i processi decisionali e gli impatti spaziali delle mingas nel modellare il territorio di tre quartieri autogestiti di Quito. Lultimo capitolo chiamato Quitopia, come il titolo della tesi, immagina infine uno scenario in cui la recente costituzione ecuadoriana ed il sostrato culturale legato alla minga, si fondono in unutopia in cui gli spazi collettivi metropolitani di Quito sono interamente rimodellati e co-gestiti. Seppur concentrandosi su un caso specifico, lEcuador, linterpretazione del background normativo e lo studio della cultura locale relativa alla creazione di spazi collettivi, vengono visti come un potente binomio utilizzabile ovunque si voglia sperimentare alternative future in contesti urbani.

The Wake Forest University Art Collection consists of nearly 1300 works of art of various media dating from the fifteenth century to today that are divided into nine distinct collections. Assessing the current state of the Collection, this thesis project evaluates the art historical significance of the Collection using select museum quality works of art and then proceeds with a discussion of collections management, including the topics of acquisition, accession, and risk management. Environmental conditions in Collection facilities are measured against widely accepted museum standards. Use of the Collection as an educational resource by the University and surrounding community is compromised by a variety of factors, including issues of accessibility and security. General recommendations to improve the current state of the Collection include adapting collections management policies and procedures to standard museum practices and the creation of a permanent museum space and staff.

L'étude que nous avons effectuée cherche à comprendre comment les membres de la société brésilienne se pensent et pensent leur organisation sociale. Pour ce faire, nous avons réalisé une analyse des élections présidentielles de 1998 au Brésil, prenant l'acte de voter comme un faire social révélateur du système de valeurs des membres de cette société. Nous proposons que ce sont les significations imaginaires qui orientent leur choix de vote attribuant la légitimité politique à un candidat plutôt qu'à un autre. Le candidat vainqueur étant présenté comme l'authentique détenteur des caractéristiques socialement valorisées devient le symbole de la nation par excellence. Parmi les éléments qui participent à la construction de sa légitimité politique se trouve celui de porteur de modernité qui emmènera le pays à son avenir grandiose en accord avec les valeurs politiques dominantes. Nous pensons que le candidat vainqueur participe ainsi à la construction d'une société officielle permettant l'inclusion de ce pays au rang des pays démocratiques qui présente cependant un énorme décalage avec les pratiques qui se manifestent par le comportement des principaux acteurs politiques brésiliens, parmi lesquelles, celles qui excluent les couches subalternes des prises de décision. Les électeurs brésiliens, croyant avoir élu un candidat qui conduirait le Brésil à son futur glorieux maintiennent paradoxalement le pays attaché à son passé colonial. Il nous semble que ce paradoxe est l'un des plus grands dilemmes de la société brésilienne car c'est à travers ce processus de légitimation politique qu'une structure sociale inégale se perpétue malgré la dynamique interne de ses appareils institutionnelsThe study we have undertaken is an attempt to understand how members of Brazilian society consider themselves and their social organization. To achieve this, we carried out an analysis of the Brazilian presidential elections of 1998, taking the act of voting as a social duty illustrative of the social values of the members of this society. We suggest that it is imaginary significations which influence electoral decisions, in attributing political legitimacy to one candidate rather than another. The winning candidate who is seen as the authentic holder of socially valued characteristics becomes the symbol of the nation par excellence. Among the characteristics which contribute to his political legitimacy is that of being a modern icon, who will lead his country towards a greater future in accordance with the dominant political values. We consider that the candidate participates in this way in the construction of an official society which would allow the country to be included in the league of democratic nations, which nevertheless present enormous differences with the practices of the main political figures in Brazil, including the exclusion of subordinates from any kind of decision-making. Brazilian electors, believing they had elected a candidate who would lead Brazil to its glorious future, maintain, paradoxically, the link with the country's colonial past. We regard this paradox as one of the greatest dilemma of Brazilian society, as it is by means of this process of political legitimazation tha a socially unequal structure is sustained despite the internal dynamism of its institutions

Chapter five contains my conclusions of the connections I find. In addition, I use examples from Witi Ihimaera's fictional novel The Uncles Story, as well as many other of his plays and novels, to show examples of influences from Maori culture, Mormonism, and his homosexuality on Ihimaera's work.; Recent artists like Norwegian Recycling and E-603 have created a new genre of art within music: digital recycling. These artists take many different well-known and less-known lyrics, music, and spoken word and combine them together. This meshing of multiple pieces of art has new historical roots. The different images, auditory and visual, that these creations produce and often enhance meaning and connections through popular media. These connections interest me most. Through the lenses of post-colonial, gender, and queer theories, I examine Witi Ihimaera's creative work. I splice in different theorists' words, my own thoughts, and images to enhance and accent Ihimaera's "Singing Word" (Juniper Ellis 170). According to Ihimaera, the written word and the "novel is alien to the indigenous form, and that where Maori are going now is probably where it's most natural, and that is into theatre or into poetry...and oral storytelling" (Ihimaera 170). As the first published playwright in New Zealand and as an English professor at the University of Auckland, Witi Ihimaera is a role model and leader to many other Maori and New Zealand playwrights and writers. I am most interested in understanding what and how he has been influenced as an artist. I craft a document that extends the idea of a written word in a Maori context, in which I explore the major influences on Ihimaera as a theatrical creator and influencer of other Maori artists. Chapter one introduces Witi Ihimaera and my methods. Chapter two includes my research on the Maori culture with the following subsections: the people, their traditions, and their paternal systems of power. Chapter three is my research on the influx of Pakeha authority highlighting the Mormon take over and how that affected author and playwright Witi Ihimaera. Chapter four is my research on how Ihimaera's homosexuality has influenced his creations and the contemporary Maori Performance.ID: 029810499; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 76-77).

Collections of tangible heritage and material culture found in university museums present both challenges and opportunities for their parent institutions. The identification and recognition of objects and collections of material ‘heritage’ proves difficult to universities, due to the formation and utilisation of their collections. Although each university possesses a history of varied content, length and significance, the rich heritage collections kept by universities remain undefined and largely unknown. This thesis addresses new and changing roles for university museums and collections, focusing on the issues surrounding heritage. What purpose does an institutional collection of academic heritage serve beyond preserving or representing the history of a university? Using data collected during the field research programme and two case studies (University of St Andrews and University of Liverpool) the thesis explores the definition and role of heritage in the university. Through the exploration of these topics, the thesis provides a new model for university collecting institutions based on the concept of ‘university heritage’ and ‘institutional identity’, encompassing collections ranging from subject-specific departmental teaching collections to commemorative collections of fine art. By utilising these once undefined and underappreciated collections, universities can use the heritage objects and material culture representative of their academic history and traditions as institutional promotion to potential students, staff and funding bodies.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2004.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this study project, the performance and fund flows to open-end collective investment schemes available in South Africa that are advertised in the Personal Finance newspaper and Financial Mail magazine, are examined. The sample consists of 34 open-ended unit trust funds from 4 different asset managers. Two main objectives are addressed: the first main objective is to test whether collective investment schemes advertisements are used to signal superior management skills by examining the performance of the funds prior to placing the advertisement and measuring the performance in the post-advertising period. The second main objective is to test whether advertising is used to attract more fund flows to the funds. The results indicate that the fund managers advertised their funds at a time when the funds were under-performing, showing no significant superior performance. In the one-year period following the advertisement their performance was marginally better than the bench marked performance. The results indicate that superior fund management skills exist and that timing of the placement of the advertisement is important. The fund flow analysis shows that advertised funds attract significantly more money in comparison to the funds in a control group with similar characteristics. Once again the results could be attributed to superior fund management skills or the timing of the marketing department.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie studieprojek word die prestasie en fondsvloei van kollektiewe beleggingskemas wat in Suid-Afrika beskikbaar is en in Personal Finance koerant en Financial Mail tydskrif geadverteer word, ondersoek. Die steekproef bestaan uit 34 kollektiewe beleggingsfondse van vier verskillende batebestuurders. Twee hoofdoelwitte word bespreek: die eerste hoofdoelwit is om te toets of kollektiewe beleggingsfondse advertensies gebruik om superieure bestuursvaardighede aan te dui, deur die prestasie van die fonds voor die advertensieplasing en die prestasie in die post-advertensie periode te ondersoek. Die tweede hoofdoelwit is om te toets of advertensies gebruik word om fonds invloeie na die fonds aan te trek. Die resultate dui aan dat die fondsbestuurders hul fondse adverteer op 'n tydstip wanneer die fonds onderpresteer, wat nie enige betekenisvolle superieure prestasie voorstel nie. In die een-jaar periode na die advertensieplasing, was hul prestasie marginaal beter as die verwysingspunt (standaard) prestasie. Die resultate dui aan dat superieure bestuursvaardighede wel bestaan en dat die tydsberekening van die advertensieplasing belangrik is. Die fondsvloei analise wys dat geadverteerde fondse betekenisvol meer geld inbring in vergelyking met die fondse in 'n kontrole groep met gelyksoortige karaktertrekke. Weereens kan die resultate toegeskryf word aan superieure bestuursvaardighede of die tydsberekening van die plasing van die advertensie.

Avfallshämtning är i dagens läge ett fysiskt och psykisk krävande yrke där arbetaren befinner sig i en mycket stressfull arbetsmiljö. I och med den takt städer växer idag och kommer att göra i framtiden så kommer sättet vi hämtar och transporterar avfall behöva att ändras till en mer hållbar lösning. Som tur är befinner vi oss i en era av robotisering som kan hjälpa arbetsmiljön för monotoma och fysiskt krävande yrken. Jag har arbetat för att skapa en vision om hur systemet kring avfallshämtning skulle kunna se ut år 2030. I den här rapporten beskrivs min process och insikterna jag har gjort under vägen till mitt resultat. Slutresultatet är ett autonomt fordon för avfallshämtning i sammanband med ett system för hur de här fordonen ska användas. Fordonen i sig har flera fack för att frakta flera olika fraktioner av avfall samtidigt. Med mål att göra systemet så effektivt som möjligt. Fokuset ligger från att en person har slängt sitt avfall tills dess att det hamnar på en sopstation för att sorteras och sedan transporteras vidare till rätt fabrik beroende på materialegenskap.

Electronic Fee Collection (EFC) is spread almost all over the Europe. Its main duty is to collect fees by on board units. The system of electronic toll does not need to be inevitably only a tool for fee collection. The combination of DSRC and DNSS systems might bring new horizons in terms of telematic data usable for wide variety of services. This diploma thesis in its theoretical part deals with electronic toll systems in general and shows how the system works in chosen countries of Europe. Special focus is on Czech toll system, its implementation and evaluation of its economic contributions year after year. From this point of view, the Czech system works fully. In practical part, the focus is on widening of the system functionality. At this moment, the on board units works only as a tool for collecting fees. However, thanks to combination of microwave and satellite system, the on board unit could become also a very intelligent tool for collecting of telematic data.

The National Children’s Study (NCS) Harris County, Texas Study Center participated in the NCS Provider Based Sampling (PBS) substudy of the NCS Vanguard Phase pilot. As part of the hospital-based birth cohort component of the PBS substudy, we conducted a secondary data analysis to evaluate the proportion of postpartum women who consented to future biospecimen collection alone and to both future collection and use of residual birth biospecimens. In phase 1, 32 postpartum women at one hospital were asked to consent only to maternal future biospecimen collection. In phase 2, 40 other postpartum women from the same hospital were asked for an additional consent to use residual clinical biospecimens from the birth event that otherwise would be discarded, including cord blood and maternal blood and urine. Among 103 eligible women, a total of 72 participated. They were 28.3 ± 5.9 years old on average; 58 % were Hispanic; 63 % consented in English, and 37 % in Spanish; 39 % had some college education; 42 % were married; 60 % had an annual family income <$30,000; and 51 % were employed. In phase 1, 59 % consented to future biospecimen collection, and in phase 2, 95 % consented to both future collection and use of at least one residual birth biospecimen, with a difference between phases of 36 % [95 % CI 17–54 %]. Demographic characteristics did not differ among those who did and did not consent. Postpartum women were significantly more likely to grant consent for use of future and residual hospital-obtained biospecimens than future biospecimen collection alone.

This thesis will explore the application of comemdia dell'arte technique to a contemporary performance. UCF's spring 2005 production of Molière's The Trickeries of Scapin will serve as a resource in both commedia dell'arte's ability to resonate with a modern audience as well as an analysis of the actor's process in fusing elements of commedia dell'arte and contemporary acting techniques. This document will include a thorough description of the history and origins of commedia dell'arte in order to decipher existing elements today. Also included, will be major influences on commedia dell'arte including Greek and Roman Comedy. It is important to discuss Roman comedic playwrights Plautus and Terence as two major influences on both the style of commedia dell'arte as well as major influences on Molière and his writing. A description of both playwrights previously mentioned will be given as means to explore the similarities between the two playwrights and Molière, specifically the similarities of Terence's Phormio and Molière's The Trickeries of Scapin. In addition to exploring the history behind commedia dell'arte and Molière, this thesis will include the rehearsal process of creating a contemporary version of Molière's Zerbinette. The application of the previous two years of graduate work including studies of Laban, Linklater, and Cicely Berry will be used in creating Zerbinette's vocal and physical life in a contemporary fashion, while maintaining certain elements of the commedia dell'arte style. In concluding this thesis, the evolution of commedia dell'arte will be discussed, and how it is in existence today. Just as commedia dell'arte evolved in the seventeenth century from previous art forms, it has never stopped evolving, constantly being influenced by every generation. From Greek Comedy playwrights' such as MeNander, to Roman comedic playwrights such as Plautus and Terence, to farcical and satirist Molière, commedia dell'arte does exist today, and will be examined throughout this thesis project.M.F.A.

La multiplication des crises rend imprévisible l'avenir du monde alors que la lourdeur du modèle productif entrave les possibilités d'imaginer un monde alternatif. Au plan individuel, le nombre de trajectoires de vie possible a explosé. À travers les concepts d'individualisation, de régime d'historicité et de temporalités sociales, ce mémoire étudie la projection individuelle des jeunes québécois(es) dans le futur individuel et l'avenir collectif. Pour la cerner, j'ai réalisé quinze entrevues qualitatives auprès de quinze jeunes de profils socio-économiques variés. À l'analyse apparaît une grande variation dans la longueur des projections des jeunes qui peuvent aller d'un an à une vie entière. De même, ce qui constitue le cœur de la projection varie considérablement : équilibre entre domaines de la vie ; expériences de vie ; famille ; engagement social ; travail. Les répondant(e)s partagent un optimisme généralisé quant à leur futur personnel et considèrent avoir toutes les cartes en main pour se forger un futur à leur convenance même si deux tiers n'ont pas de plan de vie arrêté. L'horizon de la projection dans l'avenir collectif ne dépasse pas la vie humaine. Certain(e)s jeunes identifient des dimensions clefs – environnement, économie, conflit armé – qui auront un impact sur les autres facettes de l'avenir tandis que d'autres les réfléchissent en silo et font abstraction de leur interdépendance : l'utilisation incivile du cellulaire étant aussi préoccupante que la corruption ou que les changements climatiques. Deux tiers des jeunes s'attendent à une détérioration du monde, mais considèrent les menaces collectives à venir comme trop distantes spatialement et temporellement pour s'en inquiéter outre mesure. Dans la société individualiste, la promotion à l'autoréalisation est source d'angoisse pour les jeunes qui doivent renoncer à une multitude de potentialités en choisissant un programme d'étude ou un emploi. L'optimisme devant le futur personnel et l'impression d'une identité fixe dans un monde en mouvement résultent d'un sentiment de séparation du monde qui se renforce dans la société individualiste. Cette permanence semble aussi appuyer la thèse du présentisme de François Hartog (2012) soit la propension de la société contemporaine à donner plus d'importance au présent qu'au passé ou au futur.The proliferation of crises makes the future unpredictable while the cumbersome nature of the productive model hampers the possibility of imagining an alternative. At an individual level, the number of possible life trajectories has exploded. Through the concepts of individualization, regime of historicity and social temporalities, this thesis studies the individual projection of young Quebecers in the individual and the collective future. To identify it, I conducted fifteen qualitative interviews with young people of various socio-economic background. The analysis shows a great variation in the length of the projections of the young people which can go from one year to a whole life. Similarly, what constitutes the center of the projection varies considerably - balance between life dimensions ; life experiences ; family ; social engagement ; work. The young Quebecers share a general optimism and consider having everything needed to forge a personal future at their convenience even though ten of them do not yet have a detailed life plan. The horizon of projection into the common future does not go beyond the length of human life. Some young people identify key dimensions – environment, economy, armed conflict – that will impact the future while others reflect them separately and disregard their interdependence. For example, the uncivil use of the cell phone seems as worrying as political corruption or climate change. Two thirds of the participants expect a deterioration of the world, but consider the threats too distant spatially and temporally to worry about it beyond measure. In the individualistic society, promotion of self-realization is a source of anguish for young people who have to give up a multitude of potentialities presented to them during childhood when choosing a curriculum or a job. Secondly, optimism about personal future and the impression of a fixed identity in a world in motion are the result of a feeling of separation from the world which is strengthened in the individualistic society. The perceived permanence also seems to support the hypothesis of François Hartog's presentism (2012), namely the propensity of contemporary society to give more importance to the present than to the past or the future.

This paper will investigate both modern and potential future methods of data collection and analysis. The research was conducted through qualitative research practices such as an autoethnographic recounting of a personal privacy scare on a mobile device, personal interviews regarding the individual’s own online data, and observed reactions to relevant instances regarding for instance surveillance apps. This research was done while considering a wide breadth of texts and articles relevant to the question of what things like dataveillance look like today, how they affect our lives and how they may take form in the future. This research finally culminates in the form of a short film in which these topics are framed in a speculative and somewhat more dystopian near future scenario

A presente investigação tem como objetivo estudar sobre o futuro do adolescente abrigado no imaginário coletivo de psicólogos. Justifica-se na medida em que, abordando um grupo profissional atento à importância da adolescência, no percurso da vida pessoal, pode contribuir para um debate sobre a condução de vítimas de sofrimentos sociais a abrigos. Articula-se, do ponto de vista metodológico, por meio da realização de entrevistas individuais, estruturadas a partir do uso do Procedimento Desenhos-Estórias com Tema, com oito psicólogos. Tais encontros foram registrados sob forma de narrativas transferenciais que, conjuntamente com os desenhos e as histórias, foram consideradas à luz do método psicanalítico. Por esta via, foi possível chegar à produção interpretativa de três campos de sentido afetivo-emocional ou inconscientes relativos: Fadado ao fracasso, Salvo por mágica e Com ajuda e boa vontade. O quadro geral revela uma tendência dos participantes a considerar que o adolescente abrigado dificilmente escapará a um futuro infeliz. Assim, fica claro que se posicionam de modo crítico à realidade dos abrigos, concebendo-os como instituições que não chegam a dar conta satisfatoriamente de sua função socialThis research intends to study the future of adolescents in foster care within the collective imaginary of psychologists.The study can contribute to the debate over the conduction of the victims of social suffering to foster care shelters by addressing a professional group aware of the importance of adolescence during the personal life. This approach consists, from the methodological point of view, in structured interviews conducted with eight psychologists using the story-drawing procedure with a theme. Such meetings were registered under the form of transferential narratives, which, along with the drawings and the stories, were considered through the psychoanalytical method. This way, it was possible to reach the interpretative production of three affective-emotional meaning fields or relative unconsciousness: Bound to fail, Saved by Magic and With help and will. The general framework reveals a trend of the participants to consider that the sheltered adolescent will hardly come off from a miserable future. Thus, it is clear that these professionals position themselves critically to the foster care shelter reality, conceiving them as institutions that are not able to fulfill their social function satisfactorily

Анотація:
For the casual observer, the term "Iranian feminist" is often considered to be an oxymoron. However, what seems to be an ironic juxtaposition actually holds a great length of truth: for over a century now, Iranian women have been marching, screaming, and fighting for equal gender rights--all the while embracing feminist ideals. In fact, "feminity" is a political symbol that has been influencing Iranian politics for over 150 years. From the very beginning of modern Iranian history, women have always played a pivotal role within Iranian history, constantly connecting the personal to the political. This research aims to explore this phenomenon as an independent movement and as one comparable to American feminism. Three main topics are explored: theocratic restrictions, culture, and globalization. There are three methods of research that I have utilized as resources for this study: previous studies, statistical data, and interviews. The purpose of this study is to understand why and how feminism is increasing within the anti-feminist regime of the IRI. This study holds both theoretical and political significance and is designed to predict the future status of Iranian feminism through examining the conditions of the past and present.B.A.

After the calamitous and environmentally devastating occurrence of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, the sobering realities of the United States' failure to successfully protect its ocean waters have caused several modifications in policy, legislation, and overall direction ofthe entire nation. Although there has been a general shift towards ecological safety and away from the pursuit to drill, oil-drilling explorations have continued to take place in internationally. This research will focus on the future operations of Repsol YPF, S.A., a Spanish oil company stationed in Cuba, whose drilling ambitions have caused a myriad of problems for the United States. The intent of this paper is to investigate the legalities surrounding Cuba's forthcoming deepwater oil drilling plan within the Florida Straights and how the existing relations between Cuba and the United States will shape the outcome. The majority of United States officials, senators, and policymakers are experiencing a great deal of anxiety and apprehension as Cuba's oil drilling plan continues to solidify. Recent changes in legislation and congressional opinion display the United States' overall objective to shape the manner in which the drilling operations will be carried out. This thesis will ultimately explore what progress the United States has made thus far in the sector of dialogue with Cuban officials, the various options the United States could seek in regards to taking part in the drilling operations that will soon commence in Cuba, and the current risks involved with the entirety of the drilling endeavor.B.A. and B.S.

Анотація:
The idea that the internet enables disparate individuals to link together easily has focused attention on characterising collective action under these circumstances. My research looks instead at a situation which mixes the disparate and those united by various forms of shared identity, and material grievance. The case I focus on involves overlapping groups of benefits claimants: disabled people, carers and older people. These groups are under-represented online and their political activity in a digital environment has rarely been researched. The context of my research is a consultation over social care, which provoked a campaign of opposition and the posting online of nearly 3,000 comments on the green paper’s executive summary. This constitutes collective action because it was undertaken for a collective purpose: to defend disability benefits from a perceived threat. In order to take the focus I want, I develop a conceptual framework that includes all three drivers of collective action that feature in social psychology models - efficacy, injustice and identity. Much comparable research considers just one or two of these drivers. My analytical approach is primarily inductive but I employ a mixed-methods design, including digital tracing, inductive thematic coding and basic statistical analysis. The data is drawn from the campaign and the comments. I find that most of the comments exhibit a shared sense of injustice. They also frequently include expressions of collective identity made with reference to various groups, rather than to one overarching group. Personal narratives often accompany these collective expressions. The campaign messages spread horizontally among varied, but mostly pre-existing, forums, social networking sites and blogs. The mobilisation also had a vertical element due to the involvement of private company acting, in a hybrid manner, as a campaigning organisation. My research contributes to knowledge by showing that when online action includes people who are motivated by collective identity, traditional and more contemporary collective action processes do not simply co-exist: there is a dynamic interplay between them. It also demonstrates the value of focusing on lower-level networks. This shows that the role of the drivers can vary among the groups of actors involved and, where the drivers combine, they have a reinforcing tendency.

Анотація:
The Atlanta region will soon be faced with a choice as to how it will go about planning for and implementing its next regional fare collection system that will replace the current BREEZE system. In 2006, MARTA became the first transit agency in the United States to implement an all contactless smartcard for use on its services. However, there have been many advances in new technologies and the consumer payment preferences have evolved since the initial implementation. These developments, coupled with the rapid consumer adoption of smartphones and changing attitudes within the financial payments industry towards transit properties, have recently led four major transit agencies within North America to implement new fare collection systems based on open payments, the development of mobile ticketing applications, or a combination. This research uses a case study methodology to answer several questions related to the planning and implementation of regional fare collection systems in Chicago (CTA), Dallas (DART), Philadelphia (SEPTA) and Toronto (TTC). Based on the experience of the case study agencies, the implementation of Atlanta's next fare collection system is sure to be a long and arduous process. However, by utilizing the lessons learned from DART, CTA, SEPTA and TTC, MARTA and the other regional operators (Cobb Community Transit, Gwinnett County Transit and the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority) will be better poised to provide their patrons with additional means of paying fares while, at the same, minimizing the disruption to the existing fare collection system during the transition period.

The Alien Tort Statute is a short, thirty-two word section of the United States Code enacted in 1789 as part of the Judiciary Act. The Alien Tort Statute, or ATS, has an uncertain and controversial beginning and remains controversial in current jurisprudence. The ATS reads as follows: “The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any civil action by an alien for
a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States." It is my intent for this thesis to be an academic discussion of the mysterious history, intent, and court cases that have evolved the ATS; and the way in which the evolution took place. Having lain dormant for almost two decades, it is important to understand how the ATS was finally utilized and how this affected the statutes ability to become a tool for human rights persecution abroad; until the decision in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum. Examining the language of two opinions by the District Court of the Second Circuit and the Supreme Court in Kiobel we will be able to understand, but reject, the arguments of both these courts.B.A.

PsychologyPh.D.
Adolescent delinquency represents a significant threat to the health and future of developing persons. Due to the important implications of adolescent problem behaviors, it is essential that we understand the complex mechanisms in the life and mind of a developing person that may lead to these behavior problems in adolescence. I proposed that early family instability, including residential moves and changes in household composition, would be a primary predictor of adolescent problem behaviors, including risk-taking and externalizing behaviors. This relation was predicted to be mediated by future orientation. When young children are faced with uncertainty, they may develop a shorter-term view of their own life. Therefore, family instability is predicted to influence the developing orientation to the future, which is predicted to be related to problem behaviors in adolescence. Deviant peer association and family routine were predicted to be moderators in the model. The results reveal a significant association between early family instability and adolescent externalizing behavior. This association is significant while controlling for later family instability and other demographic variables, such as socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and child IQ. This indicates that early family instability is directly related to adolescent behavior beyond the effects of continuing instability and other individual factors. Additionally, the level of future orientation was associated with adolescent risk-taking behavior for boys but not for girls. This indicates that for boys, lack of thoughts about one's future is predictive of risky behaviors in adolescence. Early family instability was not significantly related to future orientation, precluding future orientation as a mediator in the relation between early family instability and later problem behaviors. Family routine and peer deviance were not found to be significant moderators in this study. The results of this study indicate the important role family instability plays in adolescent behavior problems. These results demonstrate that experiences in the first five years of a child's life have potentially long-term effects on the individual. Additionally, future orientation appears to be a significant predictor of adolescent risk-taking behavior for boys. As risk-taking behavior may be detrimental to the individual's life and future, it is important to understand factors that predict risk taking. Future studies should examine the development of future orientation and its role in adolescent adjustment.

From the days of Antonio Meucci and Alexander Graham Bell when the telephone was invented, people have been looking for ways to communicate with each other through the use of technology. With the introduction of the Internet new possibilities were created to communicate with other persons around the world. As more and more individuals got access to the Internet more and more data got sent through the network. As with any platform where number of individuals keeps growing, business is to be made. Different companies offer different types of services, and many of these companies are niched in services where people in some way interact with each other. Social communities are some of the largest websites that are used and on these websites a lot of data is being shared. Pictures, life stories and interests are shared and this data is something that advertisement companies pay money to obtain. We can see this since a large part of revenues from social communities come from ad companies. Since these websites save data about individuals one could collect this data to sum up how an individual act online. In this thesis, we wanted to see if there was any interest in collecting this type of data to develop a business model where the data of individuals would be sold to a third party, and how individuals feel about this type data collection. To get an understanding of what type of data that can be collected, different companies that gather data were looked into. To get an understanding if this business model is something wanted recruiters of different IT companies were contacted for interviews. Focus groups and surveys were used to see how individuals close to their college graduation feel about data collection and the business model that is under construction. From the data collected, we saw that recruiters were not interested in a business model that gathered personal data, but rather professional data such as education, projects and other job related facts that can prove what the job applicant have done. And from the public we got the response that data collection of this sort is not something that is desirable. With the data collected we saw that our business model did not fit our targeted audience, but rather that a modified business model aimed on professional data rather than social data is something that could be developed.Ända sedan den dagen telefonen skapades av Antonio Meucci och Alexander Graham Bell har människan letat efter nya sätt att kommunicera med varandra via teknologin som finns idag. Internet har introducerade nya sätt att dela olika typer av data världen över. Varje dag får fler och fler människor tillgång till internet det betyder då också att mer data skickas via nätet. Som med alla plattform där antalet individer växer skapas då nya affärsmodeller. Olika företag erbjuder olika typer av tjänster och många av dessa företag fördjupar sig inom kommunikationssektorn så att människor kan integrera med varandra. Socialmedia är bland de populäraste webbsidorna idag och här kan användarna dela data och information med varandra. Dessa data är viktiga för annonseringsföretagen då de vill rikta rätt reklam till användarna. Detta ser vi nu eftersom sociala mediernas största inkomstkälla kommer ifrån säljandet av data till annonsering bolagen. Man skulle kunna ta all data som dessa företag har sparat på sina användare för att sammanställa hur de använder tjänsten. I vår rapport ville vi se om det dann något intresse för att samla in denna typ av data för att utveckla vår affärsmodell där individens data och information säljes till en tredje part. Vi ville även undersöka hur användaren känner när det gäller datasamling på internet. För att få en uppfattning på vad för data som kan samlas in på internet har vi undersökt två företag för att se vad för data de tar. När det gäller vår affärsmodell har vi kontaktat och intervjuat rekryterare från olika företag för att se om vår affärsmodell är något som de behöver. Focused Groups och enkäter skickades ut till studenter som nästan har sin examen för att höra vad de har för åsikt är gällande datainsamling och vår affärsmodell. Vår undersökning visade att datainsamling inte var eftertraktad, men de ville däremot samla kompetens information istället. Information så som utbildning, projekt och arbetskarriär. Enkäten och Focused Groups visade även där att personlig datainsamling inte var något som de ville ha. Med de data vi fått under vår undersökning tydde det på att vår affärside inte var riktad mot rätt målgrupp, men en justering av vår affärsmodell i form av datainsamling av kompetens information var något de ville ha.

Discrete-event simulations are increasingly being used to solve problems and to aid in decision making which are proving useful in the manufacturing industry. The main aim for this thesis was to compare the current production line and how implementing changes for a future state as a supporting basis for making the decision. The theoretical framework focused on the Lean philosophy merged with simulation-based methods. The simulation model was build using the collected data. A time study was conducted in order to verify the process and setup times since these were only estimated at the time. Two simulation models were built for the current production line and the future state. The future state was based on the current one since no changes in the process and setup times would be made during the two simulation-model. Experiments were then done to compare the different states, one with batch and the other single-piece flow. The parameters were set on equal terms and the compared values were throughput (TH), lead-time (LT) and work in process (WIP). The conclusion drawn from the results is that the future state would be more efficient.

Mass Media and CommunicationPh.D.
The expectation for ever-present broadband connectivity is growing along with the proliferation of "always-on" mobile devices such as PDAs, laptops and cell phones. The International Telecommunications Union predicts people worldwide will soon live in "ubiquitous network societies," where interconnected appliances and devices provide relevant content and information whatever the location of the user. While some public spaces currently offer wireless internet, broadband subscribers typically lose guaranteed connections each time they leave their access points. One increasingly popular solution, shared broadband signals, relies on a model of peer-to-peer networking. Instead of information passing from "one to many," it may travel from "many to many." This form of viral networking is taking hold at the grassroots level of media activism, as well as within the elite realm of venture capitalism. This study encompasses both semi-structured qualitative interviews and a survey in order to gain a deeper understanding of a complex phenomenon: the potential for peer-to-peer signal sharing to expand digital inclusion in the United States. The research approaches WiFi signal sharing as more than a promising "last mile" technology. Rather, it finds that WiFi sharing communities have the potential to disrupt the current political economy of telecommunications by privileging digital inclusion, innovation and localism over profits and globalization. This research extends knowledge by delving into the demand-side of the peer networking movement as a means of better understanding potential pathways to connectivity. The interview findings reflect the perspectives of people who opt to share their WiFi signals, policymakers, incumbent ISPs, and both non-profit and for-profit entities that facilitate peer-to-peer networking. Local officials stressed the need for wireless community activists to work with residents of disenfranchised neighborhoods, who stand to benefit the most from free broadband access. Federal-level informants suggested that high quality spectrum--so called "white spaces"--could enable peer-to-peer networks to transmit more powerful WiFi signals. Responses to a questionnaire disseminated to mesh network members suggest that these grassroots communities facilitate public participation in technology, as well as encourage civic engagement. The study concludes with recommendations--geared toward federal policymakers, local officials, ISPs and broadband activists--for supporting and sustaining peer-to-peer networking communities.

This paper examines recent advances in new media technology and the profound effect that the digital turn has had on the way in which archivists and public historians preserve and present the past. Included is an investigation of the process of digitization, and the creation of digital databases that addresses concerns regarding authenticity in the digital age. As the history consuming public has grown increasingly reliant on digital technology it is essential for public historians to use new media as a way to embrace the public in a historical dialogue. Yet, the public is interested in a history that is far different than that which is produced in the academy and it seems as though historians have drifted away from the public eye. So how should historians connect with a public that finds their work largely inaccessible without having to compromise the integrity of their scholarship? This thesis argues that new media technology can help bridge the gap between the professional history done in the academy and public history that relies on community engagement. Looking to public science at the turn of the twentieth century, this paper shows how including the public in scholarly discourse has been a point of contention for over a century. Understanding how men of science attempted to blend professional and vernacular science in the nineteenth century provides insight for public historians trying to reach out to diverse publics today. Lastly, this paper will show how one institution in particular, the Wagner Free Institute of Science, has used new media throughout its existence as a way to bridge the gap between professional and public science.

Pour favoriser la réflexion sur la pratique professionnelle, nous avons proposé à des futurs enseignants en stage d'utiliser un journal de bord au départ de consignes semi-structurées. Notre intention est d'identifier les traces de réflexion dans les journaux de bord et de différencier son utilisation par trois caractéristiques individuelles: l'anxiété, la perception d'efficacité personnelle et le rapport à l'écrit du futur enseignant. Notre thèse développe dans la partie théorique le premier chapitre sur le journal de bord parmi les dispositifs de formation favorisant la réflexion sur la pratique, le deuxième chapitre sur la notion de réflexion sur la pratique et plus particulièrement sur le modèle métacognitif de réflexion de McAlpine et ses collègues (1999, 2001) et le troisième chapitre sur les trois variables individuelles mesurées. La partie empirique développe la méthodologie utilisée, à savoir que cette recherche exploiratoire, visant l'induction d'hypothèses, décrit les trois étapes de la démarche d'analyse de contenus des journaux de bord(recueil, exploitation et transformation des données qualitatives avec traitement quantitatif)en lien avec les questions de recherche et explique la construction et la validation des trois quesitonnaires mesurant les caractéristiques individuelles. Cette partie s'achève par le chapitre des résultats et des discussions. Parmi les 96 futurs enseignants, 45 d'entre eux ont réalisé leur journal de bord. Différents contenus ont été identifiés dont de la réflexion sur la pratique. A partir du modèle de McAlpine et al., nous avons essentiellement trouvé des passages de description de l'action et des passages d'évaluation de l'action. Une typologie des journaux de bord et de la réflexion a été obtenue par une analyse en clusters. Au moyen de corrélations de Kendall, nous avons pu observé une relation positive entre le rapport à l'écrit de l'enseignant et l'appropriation du journal de bord et une relation négative entre la perception d'efficacité personnelle et le composant d'évaluation de l'action. Aucune relation n'a été obtenue avec la variable d'anxiété. POur conclure, de nouvelles hypothèses de recherche ont été formulées ainsi que les apports et les limites de cette recherche.

The interannual variability of the sea ice in the Southern Ocean and its evolution projected for the end of the 21st century are investigated using observations and different types of models. First of all, none of the known atmospheric modes of variability are able to explain much of the total sea ice extent variability in the Southern Ocean. However, they have large influences on the local and regional scales. In particular, the response of the sea ice to the Southern Annular Mode is characterized by a dipole between the Ross Sea and the region around the Antarctic Peninsula caused by a low pressure anomaly in the Amundsen Sea in high SAM-index years. Secondly, the sea ice extent in the different regions seems to be mostly uncorrelated, showing that the total sea ice cover cannot be seen as a single entity, but merely as a combination of regional covers. Finally, it is shown why the projected distribution of sea ice is not a simple extrapolation of the current sea ice trends. The mechanisms responsible for the regional variability of the future sea-ice extents are discussed.

Far from being simply will, a survey of English grammar textbooks revealed that a multitude of expressions exists in the English language to express the future time. These expressions include, but are not limited to, will, be going to, the simple present tense, modals, the future perfect tense, and the present progressive tense. With so many choices and with a lack of direct relationship between tense and time, a language learner may certainly have difficulties in choosing which expression to use when attempting to produce a future utterance. A corpus-based approach to analyzing real language has been demonstrated to be quite useful for the field of TESOL (Biber, Conrad, & Reppen, 1996; Biber & Conrad, 2001; Biber & Reppen, 2002) and numerous studies on the frequency of lexical and grammatical items of language have revealed salient features that otherwise would have remained unknown. Adding to this body of knowledge, the current study was an analysis of future expressions in spoken conversational English using the television sitcom Friends as a corpus. A careful analysis of 349,106 words from transcripts of 117 randomly selected episodes revealed that the most common expression of the future in the English language is the contracted form of be going to – gonna. The results of the study also revealed that only six future expressions emerged in this spoken conversational English from this corpus: will, be going to, the simple present tense, the present progressive tense, modals, and be about to.M.A.

Affiliates of the United States settlement house movement provided a historical precedent for engaged, community-centered museum practice. Their innovations upon the social survey, a key sociological data collection and data visualization tool, as well as their efforts to interpret results via innovative, culturally democratic exhibition techniques, had a contemporary impact on both museum practice and the history of social work. This impact resonates in the socially-responsive work of community museums of the recent past. The ethics of settlement methodology- including flexibility, experimentalism, empathetic practice, local community focus, and social justice activism- foreshadow the precepts and practices of what is now known as public history.
