Donner du sens aux données textuelles est une besoin essentielle pour faire les ordinateurs comprendre notre langage. Pour extraire des informations exploitables du texte, nous devons les représenter avec des descripteurs avant d’utiliser des techniques d’apprentissage. Dans ce sens, le but de cette thèse est de faire la lumière sur les représentations hétérogènes des mots et sur la façon de les exploiter tout en abordant leur nature implicitement éparse.Dans un premier temps, nous proposons un modèle de réseau basé sur des hypergraphes qui contient des données linguistiques hétérogènes dans un seul modèle unifié. En d’autres termes, nous introduisons un modèle qui représente les mots au moyen de différentes propriétés linguistiques et les relie ensemble en fonction desdites propriétés. Notre proposition diffère des autres types de réseaux linguistiques parce que nous visons à fournir une structure générale pouvant contenir plusieurstypes de caractéristiques descriptives du texte, au lieu d’une seule comme dans la plupart des représentations existantes.Cette représentation peut être utilisée pour analyser les propriétés inhérentes du langage à partir de différents points de vue, oupour être le point de départ d’un pipeline de tâches du traitement automatique de langage. Deuxièmement, nous utilisons des techniques de fusion de caractéristiques pour fournir une représentation enrichie unique qui exploite la nature hétérogènedu modèle et atténue l’eparsité de chaque représentation. Ces types de techniques sont régulièrement utilisés exclusivement pour combiner des données multimédia.Dans notre approche, nous considérons différentes représentations de texte comme des sources d’information distinctes qui peuvent être enrichies par elles-mêmes. Cette approche n’a pas été explorée auparavant, à notre connaissance. Troisièmement, nous proposons un algorithme qui exploite les caractéristiques du réseau pour identifier et grouper des mots liés sémantiquement en exploitant les propriétés des réseaux. Contrairement aux méthodes similaires qui sont également basées sur la structure du réseau, notre algorithme réduit le nombre de paramètres requis et surtout, permet l’utilisation de réseaux lexicaux ou syntaxiques pour découvrir les groupes de mots, au lieu d’un type unique des caractéristiques comme elles sont habituellement employées.Nous nous concentrons sur deux tâches différentes de traitement du langage naturel: l’induction et la désambiguïsation des sens des mots (en anglais, Word Sense, Induction and Disambiguation, ou WSI/WSD) et la reconnaissance d’entité nommées(en anglais, Named Entity Recognition, ou NER). Au total, nous testons nos propositions sur quatre ensembles de données différents. Nous effectuons nos expériences et développements en utilisant des corpus à accès libre. Les résultats obtenus nous permettent de montrer la pertinence de nos contributions et nous donnent également un aperçu des propriétés des caractéristiques hétérogènes et de leurs combinaisons avec les méthodes de fusion. Plus précisément, nos expériences sont doubles: premièrement, nous montrons qu’en utilisant des caractéristiques hétérogènes enrichies par la fusion, provenant de notre réseau linguistique proposé, nous surpassons la performance des systèmes à caractéristiques uniques et basés sur la simple concaténation de caractéristiques. Aussi, nous analysons les opérateurs de fusion utilisés afin de mieux comprendre la raison de ces améliorations. En général, l’utilisation indépendante d’opérateurs de fusion n’est pas aussi efficace que l’utilisation d’une combinaison de ceux-ci pour obtenir une représentation spatiale finale. Et deuxièmement, nous abordons encore une fois la tâche WSI/WSD, cette fois-ci avec la méthode à base de graphes proposée afin de démontrer sa pertinence par rapport à la tâche. Nous discutons les différents résultats obtenus avec des caractéristiques lexicales ou syntaxiquesMaking sense of textual data is an essential requirement in order to make computers understand our language. To extract actionable information from text, we need to represent it by means of descriptors before using knowledge discovery techniques.The goal of this thesis is to shed light into heterogeneous representations of words and how to leverage them while addressing their implicit sparse nature.First, we propose a hypergraph network model that holds heterogeneous linguistic data in a single unified model. In other words, we introduce a model that represents words by means of different linguistic properties and links them together accordingto said properties. Our proposition differs to other types of linguistic networks in that we aim to provide a general structure that can hold several types of descriptive text features, instead of a single one as in most representations. This representationmay be used to analyze the inherent properties of language from different points of view, or to be the departing point of an applied NLP task pipeline. Secondly, we employ feature fusion techniques to provide a final single enriched representation that exploits the heterogeneous nature of the model and alleviates the sparseness of each representation.These types of techniques are regularly used exclusively to combine multimedia data. In our approach, we consider different text representations as distinct sources of information which can be enriched by themselves. This approach has not been explored before, to the best of our knowledge. Thirdly, we propose an algorithm that exploits the characteristics of the network to identify and group semantically related words by exploiting the real-world properties of the networks. In contrast with similar methods that are also based on the structure of the network, our algorithm reduces the number of required parameters and more importantly, allows for the use of either lexical or syntactic networks to discover said groups of words, instead of the singletype of features usually employed.We focus on two different natural language processing tasks: Word Sense Induction and Disambiguation (WSI/WSD), and Named Entity Recognition (NER). In total, we test our propositions on four different open-access datasets. The results obtained allow us to show the pertinence of our contributions and also give us some insights into the properties of heterogeneous features and their combinations with fusion methods. Specifically, our experiments are twofold: first, we show that using fusion-enriched heterogeneous features, coming from our proposed linguistic network, we outperform the performance of single features’ systems and other basic baselines. We note that using single fusion operators is not efficient compared to using a combination of them in order to obtain a final space representation. We show that the features added by each combined fusion operation are important towards the models predicting the appropriate classes. We test the enriched representations on both WSI/WSD and NER tasks. Secondly, we address the WSI/WSD task with our network-based proposed method. While based on previous work, we improve it by obtaining better overall performance and reducing the number of parameters needed. We also discuss the use of either lexical or syntactic networks to solve the task.Finally, we parse a corpus based on the English Wikipedia and then store it following the proposed network model. The parsed Wikipedia version serves as a linguistic resource to be used by other researchers. Contrary to other similar resources, insteadof just storing its part of speech tag and its dependency relations, we also take into account the constituency-tree information of each word analyzed. The hope is for this resource to be used on future developments without the need to compile suchresource from zero

Анотація:
This dissertation set out to understand the decision processes used by decision makers in adversarial environment by setting up an adversarial decision making microworld, as an experimental platform, using a real time strategy (RTS) game called Rise of Nations (RON). The specific objectives of this dissertation were:
1.Contribute to the validation of recognition-primed decision (RPD) model in a simulated adversarial environment;
2.Explore the roles of common-sense strategies in decision making in the adversarial environment; and
3.Test the effectiveness of training recommendations based on the RPD model.
Three related experimental studies were setup to investigate each of the objectives. Study 1 found that RPD model was partly valid where RPD processes were prevalently used but other decision processes were also important in an adversarial environment. A new decision model (ConPAD model) was proposed to capture the nature of decision making in the adversarial environment. It was also found that cognitive abilities might have some effects on the types of decision processes used by the decision makers.
Study 2 found that common-sense strategies were prevalent in the adversarial environment where the participants were able to use all but one of the warfare related strategies extracted from literature without teaching them. The strategy familiarization training was not found to significantly improve decision making but showed that common-sense strategies were prevalent and simple familiarization training was not sufficient to produce differences in strategy usage and performances from the novice participants. Study 3 also found that RPD based training (cue-recognition and decision skill training) were not significant in producing better performance although subjective feedback found such training to be useful. However, the participants with RPD based training conditions were able to perform on the same level as the expert participants bridging the gap between novices and experts.
Based on the findings, it was recommended that decision training should involve not just RPD based training, but comparisons of attributes as well. A more interactive training combining common-sense strategies, cue-recognition and decision skill training might be more useful. More theoretical experimentation would be required to validate the new decision model proposed in this dissertation.Ph. D.

This thesis addresses key issues of scientific realism in the philosophy of biology and chemistry through investigation of an underexplored research domain: olfaction theory, or the science of smell. It also provides the first systematic overview of the development of olfactory practices and research into the molecular basis of odours across the 19th and 20th century. Historical and contemporary explanations and modelling techniques for understanding the material basis of odours are analysed with a specific focus on the entrenchment of technological process, research tradition and the definitions of materiality for understanding scientific advancement. The thesis seeks to make sense of the explanatory and problem solving strategies, different ways of reasoning and the construction of facts by drawing attention to the role and application of scientific representations in olfactory practices. Scientific representations such as models, classifications, maps, diagrams, lists etc. serve a variety of purposes that range from the stipulation of relevant properties and correlations of the research materials and the systematic formation of research questions, to the design of experiments that explore or test particular hypotheses. By examining a variety of modelling strategies in olfactory research, I elaborate on how I understand the relation between representations and the world and why this relation requires a pluralist perspective on scientific models, methods and practices. Through this work I will show how a plurality of representations does not pose a problem for realism about scientific entities and their theoretical contexts but, on the contrary, that this plurality serves as the most reliable grounding for a realistic interpretation of scientific representations of the world and the entities it contains. The thesis concludes that scientific judgement has to be understood through its disciplinary trajectory, and that scientific pluralism is a direct consequence of the historicity of scientific development.

Advertisers keep seeking new ways to target a wider audience while game developers are trying to monetize their game. This study investigates how Virtual Reality (VR) interactions influence user's sense of presence and brand awareness; specifically brand recall and brand recognition. A 2 (familiar/unfamiliar brands) x 2 (high/low game interactions) between subject design user study was created where 40 participants were recruited to participate in a self-made Virtual Reality game built in Unity. The game objective was to walk through a virtual city and locate the stadium while passing by billboards with static advertisements which the users were not informed about. The data have been collected through post and pre-experiment surveys in addition to two memory tests; brand recall and brand recognition. The results show that users that have the option to interact more with the VR environment can have a slight increase in their sense of presence as well as their recognition to both familiar and unfamiliar brands. Virtual reality in-game advertising can make advertisers unlock new audiences who can not target with traditional media while developers can unlock new revenue streams through entire gaming sessions without disrupting the user experience.Marknadsförare letar ständigt efter nya vägar att nå ut till en bredare målgrupp samtidigt som spelutvecklare strävar efter att utveckla spel som genererar inkomster. Denna studie undersöker hur interaktioner i Virtual Reality (VR) påverkar användares känsla av närvaro och medvetenhet gällande varumärken; specifikt vad gäller varumärkesåterkallelse och varumärkesigenkänning. En 2 (kända/okända varumärken) x 2 (hög/låg spelinteraktion) mellan-ämnesdesign har använts i en användarstudie där 40 deltagare rekryterades till att delta i ett egentillverkat VR-spel skapat i Unity. Spelet gick ut på att gå genom en virtuell stad för att hitta Stadion och samtidigt passera skyltar med statisk reklam som användaren inte informerades om i förväg. Data har samlats in genom undersökningar före och efter experimentet och två minnestester har genomförts; varumärkesåterkallelse och varumärkesigenkänning. Resultaten visar att användare som har möjlighet att interagera i större utsträckning med VR-miljön kan ha en ökad känsla av närvaro och igenkänning av kända och okända varumärken. Genom att marknadsföra i VR in-game kan marknadsförare nå ut till nya målgrupper de inte når via vanlig media samtidigt som spelutvecklare kan skapa nya inkomstströmmar i spelsessioner utan att störa användarupplevelsen.

Despite significant research output in recent decades on international new ventures (INVs),little attention has been paid to understanding the processes and conditions under whichthe entrepreneur identifies and exploits an opportunity and subsequently creates valuewithin the firm. As a result, the dynamics involved in the role of the entrepreneur during theestablishment and internationalization of INVs remain in a black box. In order to understandthe context, interaction among players and other dynamics involved before, during, and afterthe establishment of the INV’s creation and development, a different approach is needed. Theaim of this dissertation is to describe and understand the role of entrepreneurs in the processof establishment and internationalization of international new ventures. Three longitudinal case studies were conducted between 1999 and 2008 with a total of 108interviews using snowball sampling. In addition, comprehensive secondary data have beencollected to enrich the empirical cases with thick descriptions, and to enhance content validityas well as the reliability of the research. This study offers a more nuanced picture of how entrepreneurs’ characteristics influencethe international development of their firms. For example, it appears that it was neitherthe previous foreign experience, the education, nor the previously developed internationalnetwork (as suggested by previous literature) that can be credited for the rapid and vastinternationalization of the case firms. Instead, it is suggested that an entrepreneur’schildhood and prior life story directly influences their behaviour in the INV. We proposethat different types of entrepreneurs are important factors to understanding firms’ differentinternationalization patterns. Depending on the backgrounds of the entrepreneurs, theydeveloped preferences, skills, and especially desires that would come to affect the totalbehaviour of their future organizations. This study also develops the notion of psychicdistance into three separate spaces - the physical, the mental and the social space. Forexample, the context and experience during childhood creates the foundations for theentrepreneurs’ mental and social space, which can separately, but also in relation toeach other, offer a more accurate and deeper understanding of the actions taken by theentrepreneurs in the INV. Furthermore, this study has shown that the role and characteristicsof the entrepreneur do change over time, which also determines the individual’s sensitivity toopportunities and the international behaviour of the company.

This thesis examines Leadership Development in both a corporate setting and an expedition-based setting. The assumptions that are the foundations of current Leadership Development originate, and are informed by, aspects of the natural sciences. These methods are critiqued in terms of usability and applicability in the context of human relating. An alternative approach is investigated based on nonlinear causality and the complex responsive process of relating using the work of Stacey (2003, 2007, 2010), Stacey and Griffin (2005), Stacey et al. (2000). What is explored is the Leader as expert and the ability through communication, decision making, and planning to create certainty. What is problematized is the fantasy that this creates in ongoing day-to-day interactions. The work explores interactions between a leadership consultant/coach and clients in varied domains: the role of the practitioner in the delivery and creation of theory, models, best practices and standard operating procedures; and the reflections of both the practitioner and clients that what is emerging cannot be foreseen. This leads to a further exploration cycle of the human experience in organizations and how reification, the uncanny, and the struggle for recognition might offer other ways of making sense of the experience. The work examines the role of the consultant/teacher and the client/student and the emergence of knowledge. It further investigates the relationship of time and causality and how this is connected to theoretical knowledge and knowledge in action. This leads to a further connection of thinking, reflecting and reflexivity and what this means as practice for leadership development. Using the context of leadership coaching for management teams and connecting the reflexive aspect of knowledge, what is argued is that sensemaking as developed by Weick (1995, 2001, 2009), Weick and Sutcliffe (2007) is not a sufficient practice to explain and create best practices, standard operating procedures, models, and theories. What is also necessary, and is identified as sensemaking and connected to Elias (1987) work, is our own involvement and detachment as we abstract to understand what is happening in the moment between human agents. It is argued that paying attention to these aspects of ongoing human relating offer the possibility of thicker and a more contextualized understanding of the emergent unpredictable outcomes that leaders deal with every day.

Анотація:
The standard approach to integration of satellite imagery and sub-surface geological data has been the comparison of a map-view (two-dimensional) image interpretation with a selection of sub-surface cross-sections. The relationship between surface and subsurface geology can be better understood through quantitative three-dimensional (3-D) computer modelling. This study tests techniques to integrate a 3-D digital terrain model with 3-D sub-surface interpretations. Data types integrated, from a portion of the Paradox Basin, SE Utah, USA, include Landsat TM imagery, digital elevation data (DEM), sub-surface gravity and magnetic data, and wellbore data. Models are constructed at a variety of data resolutions. Combined modelling of basement and topographic features suggests the traditional lineament analysis approach to structural interpretation is over-simplistic. Integration of DEM and image data displayed in 3-D proved more effective for lithology discrimination than a map-view approach. Automated strike and dip interpretation algorithms require DEM data at resolutions of the order of 30 metres or better. Methods are described for the creation of fault-plane maps from three-dimensional displays of surface and subsurface data. The approach used in this study of linking existing software packages (Erdas image processing system, CPS3 mapping package and SGM and GTM three-dimensional geological modelling packages) is recommended for future studies. The methodology developed in this study is beneficial to interpretation of imagery data in frontier exploration areas.

La cartographie, l'inventaire et le suivi de glissements de terrain sont indispensables pour l'évaluation de l'aléa glissements de terrain et la gestion des catastrophes. La disponibilité croissante des satellites THR, des drones et des appareils photo numériques grand public offre un grand potentiel pour soutenir ces tâches à l'échelle régionale et locale en complément detechniques établies telles que l'instrumentation in-situ, radar, et les acquisitions par scanner laser. Un manque d'outils de traitement d'image pour l’extraction efficace d’informations pertinentes à partir de différents types d'imagerie optique complique encore l'exploitation des données optiques et entrave la mise en oeuvre de services opérationnels. Cette thèse est consacrée à l'élaboration et l'application de techniques de traitement d'image pour la cartographie, la caractérisation et la surveillance des glissements de terrain en exploitant des données d'imagerie optique. Un état de l'art approfondi des techniques de télédétection innovantes pour la surveillance des glissements de terrain est proposé et démontre le potentiel et les limites des techniques et propose des critères pour le choix des capteurs disponibles (plateformes et méthodes d'analyse d'images) selon le processus observé et les besoins des utilisateurs. Pour la cartographie rapide des glissements de terrain lors de catastrophes majeures, une méthode qui combine segmentation d'image et apprentissage supervisé est développée pour l'analyse des images satellitaires THR à travers plusieurs exemples en Chine, au Brésil, à Haïti, en Italie et en France. Pour l'analyse de glissements de terrain à l'échelle locale, la recherche a élaboré des chaînes de traitement d'images pour la détection de fissures à partir de séries temporelles d'images de drones comme possible géo-indicateurs de l'activité des glissements, la mesure des champs de déplacements horizontaux à partir d'images satellitaires THR utilisant en utilisant des méthodes stéréophotogrammétrie et par corrélation d’image, et les mesures 3D à partir de photographies terrestres basées sur des méthodes de photogrammétrie multi-imagesLandslide inventory mapping and monitoring are indispensable for hazard assessment and disaster management. The enhanced availability of VHR satellites, UAVs and consumer grade digital cameras offers a great potential to support those tasks at regional and local scales, and to complement established techniques such as in situ instrumentation, radar, andlaser scanning. A lack of image processing tools for the efficient extraction process-relevant information from different types of optical imagery still complicates the exploitation of optical data and hinders the implementation of operational services. This doctoral thesis is dedicated to the development and application of image processing techniques for the mapping,characterization and monitoring of landslides with optical remote sensing data. A comprehensive review of innovative remote sensing techniques for landslide monitoring shows the potential and limitations of available techniques and guides the selection of the most appropriate combination of sensors – platforms – image analysis methods according to the observed process and end-user needs. For the efficient detection of landslides after major triggering events at the regional scale, a method for rapid mapping combining image segmentation, feature extraction, supervised learning is developed. For detailed landslide investigations at the local scale, this study elaborates image processing chains for detection of surface fissures in time-series of UAV images as geo-indicators of landslide activity, the measurement of horizontal surface displacements from VHR satellite images using stereo-photogrammetric and image correlation methods, and 3D measurements from terrestrial photographs based on multi-view open-source photogrammetry

Анотація:
La reconnaissance touche toutes les personnes et de nombreux domaines. La complexité sémantique du concept tend à rendre floues sa représentation et son utilisation. Le concept de reconnaissance s’inscrit dans des interrogations transdisciplinaires: philosophiques, psychologiques, sociologiques, biologiques et anthropologiques en particulier. Ce concept est de plus en plus utilisé en sciences de gestion. À l’heure du multiculturalisme, des crises économiques, d’une gestion de plus en plus impersonnelle de l’humain, et de la perte de sens du travail, les chercheurs et praticiens s’interrogent sur les modalités d’une bonne reconnaissance et sur les coûts engendrés par les défauts de reconnaissance au travail. En effet, replacer l’Homme au cœur du travail et assurer le respect réciproque des différents acteurs, non-hiérarchiques comme hiérarchiques, devient une nécessité.Cet objet de recherche est encore émergent en sciences de gestion. Il est pourtant au fondement de phénomènes d’actualité, notamment la gestion de la diversité et de la responsabilité sociale. Il est donc la cible d’enjeux moraux. Au regard des impacts liés à la dépersonnalisation du travail, de plus en plus d’individus, du haut en bas de la hiérarchie dans les organisations, s’interrogent sur les enjeux sociaux et économiques du manque de reconnaissance et de la gestion de la reconnaissance. Cette thèse vise à mettre en évidence les liens forts qui existent entre la reconnaissance et la performance, notamment lorsque les organisations visent une performance socio-économique durable.La première partie explicite les fondements conceptuels et méthodologiques de la recherche, et présente nos terrains d’expérimentations. Le concept de reconnaissance est abordé sous un angle polysémique et transdisciplinaire. La justification de la méthodologie, l’exploitation de plus de 400 entretiens, issus de 12 organisations, avec l’ensemble des catégories de personnel, et l’étude de deux cas longitudinaux, attestent de la robustesse du travail de recherche.La seconde partie explique l’origine socialement construite de la reconnaissance au regard de l’histoire de chaque individu. Elle analyse sa dimension perceptive et symbolique. Nous proposons une nomenclature du système de reconnaissance et inventorions un certain nombre de facteurs transversaux qui influencent les perceptions de reconnaissance et leurs impacts sur les sentiments de satisfaction et d’insatisfaction. Enfin, nous étudions l’influence de trois variables (la taille de l’organisation, le niveau hiérarchique et le secteur d’activité) sur les attentes de reconnaissance.La troisième partie analyse deux cas longitudinaux et établit des liens entre la reconnaissance et la performance. Nous évaluons les coûts liés aux mauvaises pratiques de reconnaissance et au manque de reconnaissance. Nous catégorisons deux systèmes de reconnaissance dialectiques présents dans les organisations et apportons des résultats relatifs aux pratiques mises en place. Nous proposons enfin des pistes d’amélioration de la reconnaissance, pour développer une performance socio-économique durable à travers l’élaboration du concept de « reconnaissance activatrice »Recognition affects every one in a lot of situation. Because it’s semantic complexity, the concept is not easy to clearly define and use it. Miscellaneous branches as : Philosophy, psychology, Sociology, Biology or Anthropology, are wondering by this concept of recognition. This concept is still used more and more by the Management Sciences. This period is marked by development of multiculturalism, the appearance of economic crisis, an increase of impersonal management of the human being and a loss of work sense. So, researchers and practitioners are thinking about the way over to set forth right recognition rules and about the costs created by the defects of recognition at work. Indeed, it becomes a necessity to place Man into the heart of the work and secure a mutual respect between the various actors, hierarchical or not.This research object is emerging in the field of Management Sciences. However, it is the basis of currents events, especially concerning the diversity management and the social responsibility. So, the subject is really at the focal point of moral stakes. Facing the impacts sourced by the depersonalization into the working organizations, more and more people from the bottom to the top of theirs hierarchy are questioning on the social and economic stakes coming from missing recognition and recognition management. This thesis aims at to place in an obvious position the strong links existing between recognition and performance, especially when the organizations want sustainable socioeconomic performances.The first part of the thesis clarify the abstract and methodological bases of these investigations and set out our experimentations fields. The recognition concept is approached under a polysemic and interdisciplinary angle. The justification of the methodology, the exploitation of more than 400 interviews from 12 organizations with the whole employee’s grades and the study of two longitudinal cases testify the robustness of the research work.The second part explain the socially constructed origin of recognition according to the history of each person. It analyzes its perceptive and symbolical aspects. We propose a list of the system of recognition and make an inventory of several transverse factors acting upon the recognition perceptions and their impacts on the feelings of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. At last, we study the influence of three variables : the organization size, the hierarchical level and the business branch, upon the recognition expectations.The third part analyzes two longitudinal cases and establishes links between recognition and performance. We estimate the costs connected to the bad practices in recognition and to the lack of recognition. We categorize two dialectical recognition systems into the organizations and bring results according to these practices. At last, we suggest some possibilities for a recognition enhancement aiming to develop sustainable socioeconomic performances by the elaboration of concept : « activating recognition »

Nowadays, with the rapid development of the Internet of Things, the applicationfield of wearable sensors has been continuously expanded and extended, especiallyin the areas of remote electronic medical treatment, smart homes ect. Human dailyactivities recognition based on the sensing data is one of the challenges. With avariety of data mining techniques, the activities can be automatically recognized. Butdue to the diversity and the complexity of the sensor data, not every kind of datamining technique can performed very easily, until after a systematic analysis andimprovement. In this thesis, several data mining techniques were involved in theanalysis of a continuous sensing dataset in order to achieve the objective of humandaily activities recognition. This work studied several data mining techniques andfocuses on three of them; Decision Tree, Naive Bayes and neural network, analyzedand compared these techniques according to the classification results. The paper alsoproposed some improvements to the data mining techniques according to thespecific dataset. The comparison of the three classification results showed that eachclassifier has its own limitations and advantages. The proposed idea of combing theDecision Tree model with the neural network model significantly increased theclassification accuracy in this experiment.

Анотація:
A knowledge-based system for the automatic extraction and recognition of linear features from digital imagery has been developed, with a knowledge base applied to the recognition of linear features in high resolution remotely sensed imagery, such as SPOT HRV and XS, Thematic Mapper and high altitude aerial photography. In contrast to many knowledge-based vision systems, emphasis is placed on uncertainty and the exploitation of context via statistical inferencing techniques, and issues of strategy and control are given less emphasis. Linear features are extracted from imagery, which may be multiband imagery, using an edge detection and tracking algorithm. A relational database for the representation of linear features has been developed, and this is shown to be useful in a number of applications, including general purpose query and display. A number of proximity relationships between the linear features in the database are established, using computationally efficient algorithms. Three techniques for classifying the linear features by exploiting uncertainty and context have been implemented and are compared. These are Bayesian inferencing using belief networks, a new inferencing technique based on belief functions and relaxation labelling using belief functions. The two inferencing techniques are shown to produce more realistic results than probabilistic relaxation, and the new inferericing method based on belief functions to perform best in practical situations. Overall, the system is shown to produce reasonably good classification results on hand extracted linear features, although the classification is less good on automatically extracted linear features because of shortcomings in the edge detection and extraction processes. The system adopts many of the features of expert systems, including complete separation of control from stored knowledge and justification for the conclusions reached.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Sheep husbandry substantially contributes to South Africa’s economy. Lamb mortality is regarded as a major constraint to sustainable sheep production, and an important factor in lamb survival is the strong ewe–lamb bonding. This is a well-known phenomenon in all sheep races and strong evidence exists that the selective ewe–lamb bond formation has a pheromonal basis, in that the ewe can distinguish her lamb by its unique, familiar smell. Sheep farmers and scientists have examined various methods of making alien lambs acceptable to foster ewes. The survival rate of offspring could be substantially increased if a reliable method could be devised to prevent ewes from rejecting their own lambs or if ewes could be induced to accept alien lambs. A better understanding of the semiochemicals involved in this communication between ewe and offspring could facilitate the development of a method by which ewes can be coaxed into adopting foster lambs. This would positively contribute to efficient sheep production in South Africa. The objective of this study was to characterise the volatile constituents present in the wool and the amniotic fluid collected from the Döhne Merino lambs to achieve a better understanding of the ewe–lamb semiochemical communication. The volatile organic constituents associated with the wool and amniotic fluid were characterised and a total of 133 volatile organic compounds were identified. Several compound classes are represented in these samples and the majority of these compounds have previously been identified in the excretions and secretions of numerous mammalian species. A number of different aspects of ewe–lamb kin recognition were investigated. First, the odour profiles of twin lambs were compared to those of other twins. The results of these analyses revealed that the wool volatiles of twin lambs are qualitatively as well as quantitatively practically identical, but different from those of other lambs in the flock. Second, the change in the odour profiles of lambs was studied over a seven-day period. It was found that the odour profiles of lambs are not fixed, and for as long as a ewe makes use of olfactory recognition as the main mode of identification of her lamb she has to continue learning the odour of her lamb. Third, the amniotic fluid was investigated as a possible source of maternal labels, i.e. as chemical codes consisting of mixtures of compounds in specific quantitative ratios that are imprinted on lambs by their mothers at birth. It was found that the amniotic fluids of first- and second-born lambs are qualitatively and quantitatively different. It is possible that the duration of the lambing birth process could contribute to this change in amniotic fluid composition. Fourth, the role of residual proteins in the dissemination of the semiochemicals involved in ewe– lamb communication was investigated and six proteins were identified as amniotic fluid and wool-associated proteins. Bioassays carried out during the lambing season of 2009 confirmed the role of the odour of the lamb in ewe-lamb recognition, but bioassays carried out with synthetic pheromone formulations gave inconclusive results.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Skaapboerdery lewer aansienlike bydrae tot die ekonomie van Suid Afrika, maar lamsterftes is een van die kwellende probleme waarmee kleinveeboere te kampe het. Die eksklusiewe band wat binne die eerste paar uur na 'n lam se geboorte tussen die ooi en haar lam ontwikkel, is die hooffaktor waarvan lammers se oorlewing afhang. Hierdie sterk binding tussen lam en ooi is 'n bekende verskynsel in alle skaap-rasse en dit is bekend dat 'n feromoon wat deur die lam vrygestel word, dit vir die ooi moontlik maak om haar lam aan sy unieke reuk uit te ken. Lamsterftes sou aansienlik verminder kon word as hierdie feromoon geïdentifiseer en gebruik kan word om ooie te verhoed om hulle eie lammers te verwerp en om die aanvaarding van vreemde lammers deur ooie moontlik te maak. Die doel van hierdie studie was die chemiese karakterisering van die vlugtige organiese verbindings aanwesig in die amniotiese vloeistof en wol van Döhne Merino lammers ten einde 'n beter begrip van die semiochemiese kommunikasie tussen ooie en lammers te verkry. In die amniotiese vloeistof is 70 vlugtige organiese verbindings geïdentifiseer. Dieselfde verbindings asook 'n verdere 63 verbindings is in lammerwol geïdentifiseer. Die meerderheid van hierdie verbindings is reeds voorheen in verskeie soogdierafskeidings gevind. Die studie het verskeie interessante aspekte van hierdie semiochemiese kommunikasie aan die lig gebring. Eerstens is daar gevind dat die samestelling van die vlugtige organiese materiaal in die wol van tweelinglammers, oftewel hul reukprofiele, feitlik identies is. Verder verskil die reukprofiele van 'n tweeling van dié van ander tweelinge en enkelinge in die trop. Tweedens is gevind dat die reukprofiel van 'n lam nie by geboorte vasgelê word en so behoue bly nie, maar dat dit geleidelik verander oor ten minste die periode van sewe dae waaroor hierdie verskynsel bestudeer is. Dit noodsaak die ooi om haar geheue met betrekking tot die lam se reuk voortdurend te verfris gedurende die tydperk wat sy hoofsaaklik van haar reuksin gebruik maak om haar lam te herken. Derdens is die amniotiese vloeistof ondersoek as moontlike bron van ‘n sogenaamde moedermerk, waardeur chemiese mengsel van verbindings wat in ‘n spesifieke kwantitatiewe samestelling by geboorte deur die ooi op haar lam agter gelaat word. Ten opsigte van kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe samestelling, verskil die vlugtige organiese fraksie van die amniotiese vloeistof van die tweelinglam wat eerste gebore word van die amniotiese vloeistof van die lam wat tweede gebore word. Dit is onwaarskynlik dat amniotiese vloeistowwe wat ten opsigte van hul vlugtige organiese fraksies van mekaar verskil, nagenoeg identiese moedermerke op tweeling lammers sou kon laat. Vierdens is vasgestel dat spore van ses proteïene uit die amniotiese vloeistof op die wol van lammers agtergelaat word. Daar kon ongelukkig nie vasgestel word of hierdie proteïene 'n rol in die vrystelling van semiochemiese inligting speel nie. Gedragstoetse wat tydens die lamseisoen van 2009 uitgevoer is, het bevestig dat die lam se reukprofiel deurslaggewende rol in ooi-lam herkenning speel, maar gedragstoetse wat met sintetiese feromoonmengsels uitgevoer is, het onbesliste resultate opgelewer.

Depuis la sortie des Trente Glorieuses, les politiques de l’emploi et de lutte contre l’exclusion s’efforcent de résorber le chômage de masse (Zoberman, 2011). Aux échelles nationale et départementale, les dispositifs d’aide à l’insertion se multiplient et se succèdent. Cette diversité rend peu lisible le « maquis institutionnel » qui caractérise le secteur de l’insertion professionnelle (DARES, 2008) malgré une volonté gouvernementale de réduire ce millefeuille par la voie de « France Travail » (2023). Si nombre de travaux scientifiques se sont centrés sur la construction (Ebersold, 2005 ; Trindade-Chadeau, 2012) et sur les effets de ces dispositifs sur les demandeurs d’emploi (Hamzaoui, 2005 ; Wuhl, 1996), peu de travaux se sont intéressés aux acteurs du secteur de l’insertion qui œuvrent en bout de chaîne des politiques de l’emploi. Partant de ce constat, notre thèse, ancrée en psychologie sociale du travail et des organisations, vise à analyser la variabilité des pratiques professionnelles d’une population spécifique d’acteurs de l’insertion : « les conseillers/référents du Revenu de Solidarité Active (RSA) ». Le champ professionnel de l’insertion a la particularité de se situer à la croisée de logiques gestionnaires qui visent à réduire le nombre de demandeurs d’emploi (Bajoit, 2005 ; Zwick Monney, 2015b) et de valeurs plus humanistes héritées du secteur du social, plus à même de tenir compte de la singularité des situations des demandeurs d’emploi (Brégéon, 2008). Dans ce contexte particulier, comment les conseillers/référents RSA exercent-ils et se représentent-ils leur rôle professionnel ? Certains conseillers RSA vont, par exemple, davantage adapter leur pratique aux prescriptions institutionnelles en matière d’employabilité. D’autres vont davantage chercher à se dégager une marge de manœuvre afin de tenir compte de la spécificité des situations des personnes accompagnées. Inscrite dans une perspective psychosociale, la thèse vise à décrire et à rendre compte de la variabilité des pratiques professionnelles à travers l’orientation de rôle des conseillers/référents RSA. En référence au modèle théorique d’une socialisation plurielle et active (Baubion-Broye et al., 2013 ; Malrieu, 1989), nous postulons que l’orientation du rôle professionnel de ces conseillers/référents ne dépend pas de façon linéaire des prescriptions institutionnelles mais qu’il relève d’une activité subjective complexe – d’intersignification - mettant en perspective leurs représentations professionnelles - de l’employabilité et du cadre institutionnel prescrit -, leur rapport à soi et aux autres (sentiment de reconnaissance) et leurs propres valeurs qui peuvent être parfois cohérentes entre elles ou parfois concurrentes et source de conflits intrapersonnels. Cette activité – non exempte de doutes, de remises en question – génère une orientation du rôle spécifique à chaque conseiller. Pour rendre compte de cette variabilité, nous avons utilisé une méthodologie mixte qui articule deux volets empiriques : une étude qualitative exploratoire et une étude extensive. L’étude qualitative a été menée par entretiens semi-directifs auprès de 12 référents RSA. Une double analyse des entretiens – thématique et lexicométrique via AlcesteEducation2018 - montre deux orientations du rôle professionnel prédominantes chez les référents RSA. L’étude extensive menée par questionnaire auprès de 211 conseillers/référents RSA nous a permis de montrer que les conseillers/référents RSA s’inscrivent soit dans une dynamique conflictuelle dans l’orientation de leur rôle professionnel, soit dans une dynamique de reconnaissance de l’orientation de ce rôle. Les deux volets empiriques montrent une population majoritairement à l’aise dans l’orientation de son rôle professionnel mais qui développe toutefois des inquiétudes pour l’avenir de son secteurSince the end of « the 30-year post-war boom », the french employment and fight against exclusion policies have been trying to reduce the mass employment (Zoberman, 2011). At national and local levels, job integration plans are happening with greater frequency. However, this diversity make understandable the « insititutional confusing » typical for french job integration system (DARES, 2008) despite the government's desire to reduce this maze through « France Travail » (2023). While a number of academic studies have focused on buildings plans (Ebersold, 2005 ; Trindade-Chadeau) and evaluate the effects of theses plans on job-seekers (Hamzaoui, 2005 ; Wuhl, 1996), few studies have examined the actors in the integration sector, at the end of the employment policy chain. Based on this observation, our thesis, rooted in Work and Organizations Psychology, aims to analyze the professional practice of a specific population of insertion actors : "Revenu de Solidarité Active (RSA) advisors/referents". The french integration system is unique, it is at the crossroads between managerial logics aimed at reducing the number of jobseekers (Bajoit, 2005 ; Zwick Monney, 2015b) and more humanistic values herited from the social sector, which are better to take account of the singularity of jobseekers situations (Brégéon, 2008). In this particular context, how do RSA advisors/referents exercise and represente their professional role? Some RSA advisors/referents, for example, are more likely to adapt their practices to institutional prescriptions on employability. Others are more likely to seek a certain flexibility to take account of the specific situations of the people they support. Inscribed in a psychosocial perspective, the thesis aims to describe and account for the variability of guidance practices through the role orientation of RSA advisors/referents. With reference to the theoretical model of plural and active socialization (Baubion-Broye and al., 2013 ; Malrieu, 1989),we postulate hat the orientation of the professional role of these advisors/referents does not depend in a linear way based on institutional prescriptions, but is the result of a complex subjective activity - of intersignification - putting into perspective values, representations of self, others and work, which can sometimes be coherent with each other, or sometimes competing and a source of intrapersonal conflicts. This activity - not free from doubts and questioning - gives rise to a role orientation specific to each advisor. To account for this variability, we have developed a mixed methodology that articulates two empirical strands : an exploratory qualitative study and an extensive study. The qualitative exploratory study consists of semi-structured interviews with 12 RSA referents. A double analysis of the interviews - thematic and lexicometric via AlcesteEducation2018 - shows two predominant professional role orientations among RSA referents. An extensive questionnaire survey of 211 RSA advisors/referents showed that RSA advisors/referents are either involved in a conflictual dynamic in the orientation of their professional role, or in a dynamic of recognition of the orientation of this role. Both studies show a population that is mostly comfortable in their orientation in its professional role but that develops concerns for the future of its sector

Le principe du “Voir et Eviter” est un principe essentiel pour la sécurité de l'espace aérienet nécessaire pour l'insertion des drones dans la Circulation Aérienne Générale (CAG). Lessolutions actuelles ne permettent pas toujours d'appliquer le principe du "Voir et Eviter" etn'assurent pas, par leurs actions d'évitements, une cohabitation sans risques des drones et desavions pilotés dans la CAG. Ces mêmes solutions ne permettent pas, avec un seul capteurpassif, la détermination, à tout moment, du temps restant avant collision. Ce temps estessentiel pour qualifier la dangerosité de la situation de collision et adapter, en conséquencede cette dangerosité, le comportement d'évitement. Aussi, pouvoir faire appliquer à unemachine le principe du "Voir et Eviter" tout en permettant une cohabitation sans risquesimplique un paradigme de conception basé sur la modélisation de l'être humain expert del'espace aérien, le pilote. Un tel paradigme s'applique d'ailleurs à toute problématiquenécessitant une cohabitation homme machine sans risque.Aussi, l'objectif de cette thèse est la modélisation des comportements d'un pilote expert ensituation de collision en vol. Cette modélisation permet de poser les premières basestechnologiques pour l'élaboration d'un nouveau système “Voir et Eviter” répondant auproblème d'intégration des machines dans la CAG.La modélisation proposée, résultat d'une démarche intégrative, s'appuie sur unedescription des processus cognitifs et des processus de traitement de l'information ainsi quesur l'organisation des unités ou systèmes qui encapsulent ces traitements. L'ensemble des cessystèmes et processus permet la résolution de problèmes et amène au comportementobservable qui est la solution du ou des problèmes posés par ou au travers de l'environnement.Cela a permis, notamment, la construction d'un modèle générique du processus cognitif etsensoriel d'identification par catégorisation et/ou classification d'objets. Cette modélisations'appuie mathématiquement sur les théories de régression non linéaire et sur l'utilisation desméthodes numériques pour la résolution de problèmes d'optimisation.Le nouveau système "Voir et Eviter" issu de cette modélisation, construit à partir d'unsimple capteur optique passif, émule, par des algorithmes simples, les processus de détection,de reconnaissance et de sélection d'une action amenant au comportement d'évitement dans unesituation de collision face à face avec un mobile protagoniste. Grâce au modèle générique decatégorisation et/ou de classification, le principal résultat technologique de cette thèse, qui estaussi la principale qualité de ce nouveau système "Voir et Eviter" proposé, est sa capacité àdéterminer, à tout moment, le temps restant avant la collision, avec un seul capteur passif. Deplus, par sa conception (bio et psycho mimétique), ce nouveau système pourrait bien poser lespremières bases d'une démarche de certification type Equivalent Level Of Safety (ELOS).Celle-ci permettrait alors une validation sécuritaire d'un système "Voir et Eviter" parcomparaison avec les pilotes de la CAG qui sont, par ailleurs, les véritables éléments desécurité de dernier recours de l'espace aérien actuelThe aim of this doctoral thesis is the modeling of expert pilot behaviors in flight collisions. This modeling gives the first echnologic steps to elaborate a new "sense and avoid" system allowing the future integration of Unmanned Air Vehicles in eneral air traffic. The proposed modeling is the result of global and holistic way and describes the cognitive process and he architecture of systems allowing the expression of these cognitive processes. This model allows solving the collision problem thanks to an observable and adapted piloted behavior. Besides a generic modeling of cognitive process of ategorization has been built and based on non linear regression theory and numeric methods for the resolution of ptimization problems.hanks to this global modeling, this new "sense and avoid" system is made of a simple passive optic sensor and it emulates he detection process, the recognition process and the and the actions selection process allowing the resolution of collision problem by a adapted piloted behavior. Thanks to the generic categorization modeling, the main technologic result is to be ble to determinate the Time To Collision (ITC) with a passive sensor. The determination of the TTC is essential for the 'sense and avoid" systems to get the level safety certification required to integrate drones in general air traffic

Si les cabinets d'audit ont traditionnellement une activité de contrôle des données comptables, ils proposent de plus en plus fréquemment leurs services dans d'autres sphères, pourtant a priori bien éloignées des préoccupations financières. C'est le cas du marché de la vérification des données sociales, environnementales et sociétales (RSE) publiées par les entreprises, dominé par l'industrie comptable (et en particulier les Big Four) depuis une vingtaine d'années. Malgré les efforts déployés par ces professionnels pour institutionnaliser la pratique de vérification RSE et rendre légitime leur place, certains chercheurs n'hésitent pas à remettre en question certaines des "vaches sacrées" de l'audit (Andon et al., 2015). Cette thèse s'attache ainsi à comprendre plus finement la manière dont les auditeurs financiers vivent leur légitimité dans ce nouveau domaine, d'autant plus lorsqu'ils sont exclus de l'élite des Big Four. Ancienne auditrice financière, la doctorante s'est immergée pendant neuf mois au sein de deux cabinets d'audit non-Big proposant des services de vérification RSE en France entre 2018 et 2019. De manière surprenante, l'analyse des données met en lumière des auditeurs ayant un profond besoin de reconnaissance de leur légitimité (Honneth, 2006) en dépit du soutien politique français, se traduisant au niveau individuel par une forte de quête de sens. Elle permet ainsi de nuancer l'image très utilitariste des auditeurs, encore majoritaire dans la littérature académique. Ce travail doctoral questionne la désirabilité du système d'audit actuel, porté par le libéralisme et transposé à la RSE, générant chez les professionnels sensibles à la RSE de fortes désillusions susceptibles de les pousser au désengagement. La conversion de la fonction d'audit en une fonction de conseil apparaît finalement comme un moyen efficace pour ces professionnels de lutter pour leur reconnaissance, et ainsi de s'opposer à la fermeture sociale du marché de la RSE au profit des BigWhile audit firms have traditionally been active in the control of accounting data, they are increasingly offering their services in other spheres, even though these are far from financial concerns. This is the case of the CSR Assurance market, which has been dominated by the accounting industry (and in particular the Big Four) for twenty years. Despite the efforts made by these professionals to institutionalize the CSR Assurance practice and legitimize their place, some researchers do not hesitate to question some of the "sacred cows" of auditing (Andon et al., 2015). Thus, this thesis seeks to gain a more detailed understanding of how financial auditors experience their legitimacy in this new field, even more when excluded from the Big Four elite. As a former financial auditor, I spent nine months working for two non-Big audit firms offering CSR auditing services in France between 2018 and 2019. Surprisingly, the data analysis highlights auditors with a strong need for their legitimacy recognition (Honneth, 2006) despite French political support, resulting at the individual level in a deep search for meaningfulness. Thus, it nuances the auditors' utilitarian image, still predominant in the academic literature. This doctoral work questions the desirability of the current audit system, driven by liberalism and transposed to CSR, generating strong disillusionment among professionals sensitive to CSR, likely to push them to disengage. The conversion of the audit function into an advisory function finally appears to be an effective means for these professionals to struggle for their recognition, and to compete with the Big Four

Cette recherche, inscrite dans le cadre du « vivre ensemble », consiste à identifier une relation entre construction de savoirs et reconnaissance mutuelle des acteurs en situation d’apprentissage. Identifier cette relation nécessite de problématiser la place du sujet scolaire éducable au « vivre ensemble » et la didactique adaptée à cette éducabilité. Déterminée par un contexte d’apprentissage de plus en plus rationalisé, la place du sujet scolaire ne lui permet plus qu’un accès au savoir ayant perdu tout sens en dehors d’une efficience indispensable aux logiques économiques et technicistes. Une autre place peut-elle permettre un autre rapport au savoir, celle d’un sujet riche de sa complexité psychologique, sociale et émotionnelle ? Ces dimensions n’impliqueraient plutôt pas un apprentissage interactif autorisant des expériences émotionnelles susceptibles d’assurer les conditions d’une reconnaissance mutuelle dans l’apprendre ? La recherche de terrain porte sur une situation interactive de lecture compréhension d’albums par un groupe identique de six enfants sur les trois ans du cycle 2. L’entretien, mené par les professeurs respectifs, se réalise selon le guide d’entretien d’un questionnement. Ce dernier a pour but de favoriser l’interprétation par le canal d’expériences émotionnelles singulières et d’aider à transformer les informations narratives en significations morales ou idéologiques comme outil de l’action de l’élève. Les outils d’analyses portent sur l’identification de l’interface des expériences émotionnelles traduites par le verbal et le non verbal des co-énonciations et leur rôle dans la reconnaissance identification et la reconnaissance mutuelle des acteursThe aim of this research, as part of the framework "Living Together", is to identify a relationship between the construction of knowledge and the mutual recognition of actors in a learning situation. To identify this relationship implies questioning not only the situation of the trainable school subject as to the framework "Living Together" but also the suitable didactics for this trainability. Due to an increasing rationalized learning context, the current situation only allows the school subject to acquire a knowledge which has lost all meaning beyond an efficiency dictated by economic and technical logics. Can there be a different approach to knowledge construction - that of a pupil complex and rich in psychological, social and emotional aspects? Should these dimensions not rather imply an interactive construction of knowledge, allowing for emotional experiences to ensure the conditions for mutual recognition in the learning process? The conducted field research has been based on interactive sessions of story reading to the same group of six children during three years of cycle #2. The interviews, conducted by the respective teachers, have been conducted according to the established guidelines for questioning. The purpose of the latter is to facilitate the interpretation through singular emotional experiences and to help transform narrative information into moral or ideological meanings, which can then be used as a tool by the school subject. The analytical tools focus on the identification of emotional experiences interface, through verbal and non-verbal exchanges, and their role in identity construction as well as mutual recognition of the stake holders

Ce travail a pour objectif de détecter les obstacles sur la route à partir d'une caméra montée sur un véhicule. Étant donné les contraintes que nous nous sommes fixées, un état de l'art des différentes méthodes existantes sur ce sujet montre que seule une analyse du mouvement dans les sé- quences d'images peut résoudre ce problème. En effet, cette méthode doit permettre de détecter tout type d'obstacles sur tout type de routes avec une seule caméra. Pour ce faire, nous avons développé une nouvelle méthode d'estimation de mouvement paramétrique par analyse d'ondelettes de l'équation de contrainte du flot optique (E.C.M.A.). Cette méthode multi- résolution nous a permis de contourner le problème de l'aliasage temporel inhérent à l'E.C.M.A.. Nous avons ensuite proposé de résoudre le problème de la détection de mouvement dans une scène filmée à par- tir d'une caméra mobile à l'aide d'une modélisation markovienne hiérarchique déduite de façon naturelle de l'estimation multi-résolution du mouvement. Puis, nous avons introduit une méthode de segmenta- tion au sens du mouvement entre deux images sans connaissance a priori et sans hypothèse de présence de mouvement dominant grâce à un raffinement successif de la segmentation d'une échelle grossière de l'image à l'échelle la plus fine. Chaque méthode (estimation, détection et segmentation) a été validée expérimentalement sur des séquences synthétiques et réelles. Enfin, celles-ci ont été adaptées au problème concret visé par cette thèse : la détection d'obstacles dans un milieu routier. L'utilisation d'ondelettes et de champs de Markov hiérarchiques aboutit à des solutions peu coûteuses en temps de calcul.

Анотація:
Cette thèse porte sur les cols blancs, un phénomène nouveau, émergeant en Turquie dans les années 2000 : un petit groupe de travailleurs salariés, non-salariés et de chômeurs s'appelant eux-mêmes cols blancs et qui ont initié une mobilisation sociale grâce aux différentes plateformes : « Plateforme Plaza-Action », « Fuis et Viens Chez Nous » et « Ouvriers en Cols Blancs ». En mobilisant les outils théoriques et méthodologiques de la Théorie critique et de la phénoménologie, et en comparant les cols blancs turcs avec l'analyse des cols blancs américains de Charles Wright Mills, la thèse analyse les visions du monde des « cols blancs », leurs raisons d'agir ainsi que les finalités de leurs mobilisations. Les objectifs des cols blancs en Turquie sont d'initier un débat sur leurs vécus au travail ainsi que de problématiser la situation socio-politique de la société depuis une dizaine d'années. Pour comprendre les « cols blancs », nous nous sommes concentrés d'abord sur leurs expériences vécues au travail : des expériences de la sérialité, c'est-à-dire le contraire de leurs attentes initiales de trouver dans le travail des possibilités de développer leur liberté d'expression et leur autonomie individuelle. Sur la base de ces expériences, les cols blancs essayent de se (re)construire en tant que sujets grâce à leurs mobilisations publiques. Il s'agit d'un processus de subjectivation et d'une quête de sens. Les « cols blancs » disposent, surtout grâce à leurs formations, des compétences intellectuelles et professionnelles nécessaires non seulement pour s'auto-analyser mais également pour analyser la situation sociale en Turquie. Ils développent également une réelle volonté de dépassement de cette situation en construisant une vie individuelle alternative à leur situation actuelle ainsi que dans la recherche d'une autre forme de vivre ensembleThis thesis focuses on "white-collars", a new phenomenon, emerging in Turkey in the 2000s: a small group of salaried, non-salaried and unemployed workers who call themselves "white-collars" and who initiated a social mobilization through the various platforms called Plaza Action Platform, Run Away and Come to Us, Workers on White Collar. By mobilizing the theoretical and methodological tools of Critical Theory and Phenomenology, and by comparing the Turkish "white-collars" with Charles Wright Mills' analysis of American white-collars, the thesis analyzes their visions of the world, their reasons to act and the finalities of their mobilizations.The objectives of "white-collars" in Turkey are to initiate a debate about their experiences at work as well as to problematize the socio-political issues of the society for the past decade. To understand "white-collars", we first focused on their experiences at work: experiences of seriality, the opposite of their initial expectations of finding at work opportunities to develop their freedom of expression and their individual autonomy. Based on these experiences, "white-collars" try to (re)construct themselves as subjects through their public mobilizations. It is a process of subjectivation and a quest for meaning. The "white-collars", especially through their education, have the necessary intellectual and professional skills not only to analyze themselves but also to analyze the social situation in Turkey. They also develop a real willingness to overcome this situation by constructing an alternative individual life to their current situation as well as in their search for another form of living together

The new prime minister was determined to ensure that his country could recognize the Communist regime. Even more surprisingly, Ottawa's opening of relations with Beijing would soon be followed by Washington. Such words as "rapprochement" were therefore repeated in North America as this extraordinary diplomatic event began to unfold in the late 1960s.
In hindsight, Sino-Canadian rapprochement seems full of contradictions: at a time when Canada's closest ally was still fighting in Vietnam, and when the Chinese were shouting anti-imperialist slogans during the Cultural Revolution, how could it be possible that Ottawa and Beijing wished to become friends? The central question this thesis poses and answers is why the two governments suddenly shifted positions at such a politically sensitive moment. Offering different ways to understand this thirty-year-old question, the thesis re-examines Trudeau's and Maoist China's remarkable, but often forgotten, diplomatic breakthrough. Indeed, although Canadians were paying closer attention to the nation's "October Crisis" in 1970, the "October Handshake" in Stockholm between representatives of Canada and China in the same month was also a significant event. The success of such a diplomatic achievement could be seen in the Sino-American rapprochement that followed and in China's new place in the world community. Drawing on various historical records, including materials from the archives of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Queen's University, this study explains the agreement between Beijing and Ottawa in 1970 as the coincidence of three crucial conditions: the rapidly changing geopolitical circumstances at the time, a favourable internal political climate, and the matching mentality of the extraordinary players from both countries. Furthermore, while existing accounts of Sino-Canadian rapprochement highlight both countries' external relations, this thesis will argue that an exploration of the dynamics of domestic politics and the roles of individual leaders can expand our understanding of decision-making during the process of normalization of relations between China and Canada.Thesis (Master, History) -- Queen's University, 2008-08-13 13:45:56.049

In order to promote the care industry, the Chinese government continues to train and train qualified personnel to issue certificates and certificates, and to establish a professional system policy for the caregiver. The Institute of the Ombudsman investigated the government's promotion of the Long Photo 1.0 and 2.0 policies in 2006 and estimated By the year 109, the number of people in the care service will be less than 8,000. This phenomenon represents the difficulty of the government in promoting a long-term policy. According to the analysis of the past literature, the servant can not stabilize the factors in the long-term employment market that do not respect their profession, low salary, low socioeconomic status and work pressure. Fewer literature studies have a professional impact on the attendant. Based on this, this study explores from a professional level whether the caregiver will increase his or her will because of the increase in professional identity, and when the self-identity of the individual's morality and values at the psychological level and the social identity of the society at the social level, Whether there is a mediation effect is also a project worth studying. This study mainly discusses the influence of the professional identity of the care waiter on the retention of any wish, and the mediating effect of self-identification and social identity. The research subjects are caregivers who work in hospitals, nursing, the elderly, physical and mental disorders, retreats and homes. Using questionnaires, 168 valid samples were obtained and hypothesis verification was performed using multiple regression analysis. Accordingly, this study has the following conclusions: (1) the professional identity of the servant has a positive and significant impact on the retention of any will, and (2) the professional identity of the servant has a positive and significant impact on self-identification, and (3) The professional identity of the staff has a positive and significant impact on the social identity. (4) The self-identity of the servant has a partial mediation effect on the relationship between professional identity and the willingness to stay, and (5) the social identity of the servant to the professional identity and the willingness to stay. There is no intermediary influence in the relationship. Keywords: professional identity, self-identity, social identity, retention intention, care waiter

This study’s purpose was to uncover Ericeira’s destination personality from local stakeholders’
perspective, informed by sense of place, and to understand if Ericeira’s recognition as World Surfing
Reserve, influences or impacts the perception of destination personality by tourism’s suppliers, since
the recognition seemed to be a catalyst for local destination branding. Moreover, the study aimed at
understanding if CMM’s brand identity development for brand “Ericeira”, as Ericeira’s DMO, matches
local stakeholders’ destination personality perceptions, as the latter will determine visitors’
destination image of Ericeira in their direct interactions during tourism consumption.
To fulfill the goals above, a survey was conducted with local tourism stakeholders, in which
questions about destination personality and differentiating attributes/features, and about the
perceived impact of the WSR recognition were posed.
Analysis of results showed the WSR recognition isn’t a determinant of destination personality from
Ericeira’s tourism supply-side, but it’s perceived as having a direct positive impact on local tourism
development and growth. Yet, it was noticeable that local stakeholders don’t overall view surf as
something that makes Ericeira a unique tourist destination, while CMM positions Ericeira as a surf and
nature tourism destination. Furthermore, results indicate CMM’s formulation of brand “Ericeira”’s
identity and personality is generally in agreement with local stakeholders’ perspective on Ericeira’s
personality, albeit some discrepancies were identified.
This thesis bridges the lack of research done on destination branding and personality in surf
tourism settings and opens the discussion towards determinants of destinations’ personalities and
their impact on locals’ sense of place.Este estudo visou desvendar a personalidade do destino Ericeira, na perspetiva dos stakeholderslocais, e compreender o impacto/influência do reconhecimento Reserva Mundial de Surf (RSM) na perceção da personalidade do destino pelos fornecedores de turismo locais, visto que o reconhecimento possa ter catalisado a criação de uma marca para a Ericeira. Mais, o estudo visou compreender se a identidade da marca “Ericeira”, desenvolvida pela CMM, enquanto Organismo de Gestão Turística, corresponde às perceções dos stakeholders locais relativamente à personalidade da Ericeira, pois a interação turística com estes determinará a imagem do destino formada pelos visitantes. Para tal, realizou-se um questionário com stakeholders locais, com questões sobre a personalidade e características/atributos diferenciados do destino, e sobre o impacto da RMS. Os resultados da análise mostram que o reconhecimento, apesar de não ser um determinante da personalidade percecionada pelos stakeholders locais, é percecionado como tendo impacto positivo no desenvolvimento do turismo local. De uma forma geral, os stakeholders locais não percecionam, holisticamente, o surf como um atributo diferenciador do destino, contudo a CMM posiciona a Ericeira como um destino de surf. Mais, os resultados indicam que a formulação da identidade e personalidade da marca “Ericeira”, pela CMM, está geralmente de acordo com a perspetiva dos stakeholders sobre a personalidade da Ericeira, embora algumas discrepâncias tenham sido identificadas. Esta dissertação contribui para a investigação sobre marcas e personalidade de destinos de surf e abre a discussão para determinantes da personalidade de destinos e seu impacto no sentimento de lugar dos locais.

Both Plato and the Cambridge Platonists hold the view that moral knowledge depends primarily on cognitive resources which are innate to the mind. There is, nevertheless, a need for our minds to be prompted through experience in order for knowledge to occur. The following study is an attempt to reconstruct and compare the accounts in Plato and the Cambridge Platonists of the empirical conditions that are required for knowledge.
For Plato, these conditions are a result of a decline in political and psychological constitutions, through which the intellect is increasingly developed. Dialectical analysis of received customs, laws, opinions, and language may then reveal the moral ideas upon which the polity was initially based and which remain implicit in common sense throughout the historical decline. Philosophical knowledge consists of a recollection of the ancient wisdom which was revealed to the original lawgiver by the gods.
In the Cambridge Platonists, philosophical knowledge likewise consists of a recollection of revealed knowledge that stood at the foundation of a form of life, namely, Judaism. The revival of ancient Greek and Jewish philosophical theories in modern times heralds the end of history, in which the complete system of knowledge is both attainable and necessary for salvation. From the perspective of humanity as a whole, knowledge is initially granted through revelation, then generally forgotten, and finally recollected in a highly intellectual age of deteriorating morality and stability. The esoteric traditions of knowledge, coupled with recent developments in science and philosophy, act as the prompts for knowledge, given an intuitive basis that has been formed through the spread of Christianity. This intuitive basis serves as the concrete way in which the natural anticipations of the mind are gradually shaped in order to recognize the truth when it appears in a shrouded manner in modern philosophy.
Both Plato and the Cambridge Platonists are critics of the similar intellectual trends in their times and they respond with similar arguments; however, unlike Plato, the Cambridge Platonists are unable to connect their rational critique with their genetic critique of modern ideas, rendering the latter ineffective.Thesis (Ph.D, Philosophy) -- Queen's University, 2009-09-24 16:19:49.145

The way, how we perceive our environment has a significant impact on our daily lives and thus on our social relationships. On the one hand, humans of today are limiting their experiences of the physical environment, and neglect “spiritual” aspects. On the other hand, a perceptual imbalance has evolved which is accompanied by the rapid urbanisation of today. These two phenomena are associated with each other. The above-mentioned evolved imbalance has a significant impact on human’s life quality. Therefore, the present study investigates the importance of sensory perception as an aspect of human behaviour in the built environment. To examine the topic, firstly, I reviewed past literature written on this topic. Secondly, I conducted qualitative researches regarding the topic, both an open-ended questionnaire and also freeform interviews. The purpose of the qualitative methods described above was to give an insight into the approach and interpretation of the perceptual disturbance. I conclude with my findings reached through the literature reviews. That is followed by a suggestion regarding the significance of the participatory education of the designers. The present paper remains theoretical and approaches to perceptuality from the sensory aspect.

NoIn this paper, we investigate how controlled changes to image properties and orientation affect eye movements for repeated viewings of images of natural scenes. We make changes to images by manipulating low-level image content (such as luminance or chromaticity) and/or inverting the image. We measure the effects of these manipulations on human scanpaths (the spatial and chronological path of fixations), additionally comparing these effects to those predicted by a widely used saliency model (L. Itti & C. Koch, 2000). Firstly we find that repeated viewing of a natural image does not significantly modify the previously known repeatability (S. A. Brandt & L. W. Stark, 1997; D. Noton & L. Stark, 1971) of scanpaths. Secondly we find that manipulating image features does not necessarily change the repeatability of scanpaths, but the removal of luminance information has a measurable effect. We also find that image inversion appears to affect scene perception and recognition and may alter fixation selection (although we only find an effect on scanpaths with the additional removal of luminance information). Additionally we confirm that visual saliency as defined by L. Itti and C. Koch's (2000) model is a poor predictor of real observer scanpaths and does not predict the small effects of our image manipulations on scanpaths.

As the most widely used material in footwear, leather has its unique texture and hand feeling which could improve the quality of the products. Based on Kansei Engineering, this study analyzed the features of shoe leather, including colors and textures, and then expresses the vision and visual-tactile imagery of the consumers on the types of leather through artificial neural network verification. This paper also provided suggestions for footwear designers and the leather manufacturers on the design and selection of leather to accelerate the design flow. To assist the designers with the selection of suitable materials in an objective way, it promoted the innovative competitiveness of the footwear eventually. This study firstly listed the representative words of the consumers on vision and visual-tactile sense perception on leather of footwear. We carried out a questionnaire survey and grading on the vision and visual-tactile sense perception with 54 pieces of shoe leather samples provided by shoemaking manufacturers. Secondly, a program was written to capture the essential color and adhesion degree of the photo colors of these leather samples as color features. Then, the gray-scale values of the image were analyzed, and the related computational methods of LBP, SCOV, VAR and SAC were put forward on the basis of pixel eight-neighborhood to capture the textural features of the images. It took the captured features of color and texture as input layer and the quantized values of the perceptual words as output layer. Using 49 pieces of leather samples carried out the back propagation neural network training and tested 5 pieces of leather samples. 3 categories with 17 kinds of artificial neural network training verification on the combination forms have been completed. This paper finally found out that the optimal result in the back propagation neural network was both color and VAR texture feature are used as input layer while the quantized values of visual-tactile sense perception are taken as output layer. The specific achievements of the study were as follows: (1) A parametric transfering method of color and texture features of the shoe leather was proposed. (2) A better Kansei engineering and artificial neural network training method of shoe leather was proposed. An aided design flow of shoe leather with perceptual words and back propagation artificial neural network worked out. (3) A computer-aided evaluation and query system of shoe leather was designed to help the designers to find out the leather sample that is closest to the suggested leather.

Ce mémoire de maîtrise porte sur la survivance des femmes en contexte de violence organisée. Notre recherche s’appuie sur le témoignage de deux femmes rwandaises réfugiées au Canada dont le récit sera exploré afin de comprendre leurs points de vue sur trois dimensions de la survivance : la victimisation et la revictimisation qu’elles ont subi, les actes qu’elles ont pu poser pour survivre et le sens qu’elles ont donné aux situations vécues. D’abord, ces femmes rapportent qu’au-delà du génocide de 1994, elles ont vécu dans un climat d’insécurité, d’incertitude et d’impunité durant la guerre au Rwanda (1990-1994) et en exil, durant la guerre qui a visé le renversement de Mobutu, le massacre des ressortissants rwandais et le pillage des ressources naturelles par l’AFDL. Leurs récits confirment donc la continuité de la violence organisée d’un régime politique à un autre. De plus, les femmes témoignent de la non-reconnaissance de leur statut de réfugié par les bureaux qui traitent outre-mer les demandes d’asile, du traitement déshumanisant et accusateur des administrateurs de l’aide humanitaire et, de manière plus importante, de la non-reconnaissance des crimes commis par les forces armées du gouvernement actuellement au pouvoir au Rwanda et de leur impunité. Ensuite, les témoignages recueillis montrent des actrices sociales engagées dans l’activisme politique, l’action collective, la protection, la sécurité, la survie et l’établissement de leurs proches, du début du conflit jusqu’à leur arrivée au Canada. En effet, pour surmonter les difficultés engendrées par la violence organisée, elles ont mobilisé et transformé de manière créative toutes les ressources de leur capital humain, social et économique pour subvenir aux besoins de leurs proches et de leur communauté, et ce, tout au long de leur parcours migratoire. Enfin, au sujet du sens, nous verrons d’une part comment les femmes conçoivent leurs expériences individuelles de souffrances comme une histoire de victimisation collective, ce qui semble les aider à normaliser leurs expériences. D’autre part, nous verrons comment une identité de femmes fortes, résilientes et capables de s’adapter dans un climat d’adversité se dégage de leur témoignage, ce qui semble favoriser chez elles un sentiment de cohérence, de continuité et nourrir une certaine fierté.This Master’s Thesis is about the survival of women in contexts of organized violence. Our research is supported by the testimonials of two women living in Canada who are refugees from Rwanda. We seek to explore their perspectives on three dimensions of survival: the victimization and re-victimization to which they were subjected, the actions they were able to perform to survive, and the meanings they gave to these experiences. First, these women express that in addition to the genocide in 1994, they lived in a climate of insecurity, uncertainty and impunity during the war in Rwanda (1990-94); in exile, during the war to overthrow Mobutu; the massacre of Rwandan refugees; and the pillage of natural resources by the AFDL. They describe the continuity of organized violence from one political regime to another. From the beginning of the war to their arrival in Canada, they were victims and witnesses of human rights violations perpetrated by various armed groups. In addition, these women testify to the non-recognition of their refugee status by the officials that deal with overseas requests for asylum, of the dehumanizing treatment by administrators of humanitarian aid, and more importantly, of the non-recognition and impunity of crimes committed by the military and the government currently in power in Rwanda. In addition, these testimonies show social actors engaged in political activism, collective action and the protection, security, survival of their loved ones, from the beginning of the conflict to their arrival in Canada. In fact, to overcome the difficulties imposed by organized violence, they creatively mobilized and transformed all of the resources available to them in their human, social and economic capital to meet the needs of their loved ones and of their community, and this, throughout the entire migration process. Finally, in regards to meaning, we discuss how women perceive their individual experiences of suffering as a history of collective victimization, which seems to help them normalize their experiences. We also see emanating from their testimony, the identity of strong, resilient women capable of adapting in a climate of adversity, which seems to encourage coherence, continuity and a sense of pride.
