Smith, Jamie Kathleen Miss. "Sense of Community and Neighborhood Design: A Comparative Case Study of Four Arroyo Grande Neighborhoods." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2010. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/309.
Full textAbstract:
The relationship between the built environment and human behavior has been a topic of debate for decades, increasing significantly since the time of the industrial revolution. The latest arguments in this debate are the claims made by New Urbanists. New Urbanists claim to foster greater sense of community through the use of design. The goal of this study is to explore the relationship between the built environment and sense of community in order to identify which physical properties positively affect sense of community. This thesis not only examines the physical properties claimed to foster sense of community but the social variables that literature has found to also affect sense of community among residents.
Built upon the earlier findings of Glynn (1981), McMillan and Chavis (1986), Nasar and Julian (1995), Talen (1999) and Lund (2002), this study examined residents of four residential developments in the City of Arroyo Grande who were surveyed on their perceived sense of community. The residential developments The Village and Berry Gardens were selected as developments containing New Urbanist design elements. Rancho Grande and Oak Park Leisure Gardens were selected as traditional suburban developments.
The results of this study found two key findings. The Village and Berry Gardens, while containing similar spatial variables, found a noticeable difference in sense of community scores. Residents of The Village felt that their needs and wants were met, that they were active, satisfied members of their neighborhood, and shared an emotional connection with their fellow neighbors. Residents of Berry Gardens were overall less satisfied, less fulfilled, less active and shared less of an emotional connection with their fellow neighbors than all other developments. And while Rancho Grande and Oak Park Leisure Gardens contained noticeably distinct spatial variables, strikingly similar sense of community scores were found. Although Rancho Grande had a density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre and large setbacks its residents felt they could influence one another and belonged in the neighborhood to the same degree as residents of Oak Park Leisure Gardens with 9 dwelling units an acre and shallow setbacks.
Based on the four sense of community indicators used (membership, integration and fulfillment of needs, influence, and shared emotional connection) the results show a lack of relationship between the spatial variables found in each residential development and the sense of community its residents have. The social variables, education, gender, age, and homogeneity, can account for the range of sense of community scores among physically similar developments as well as physically different. This implies that the built environment plays the role of a medium in which all factors influencing sense of community are stimulated rather than determining sense of community.

Full textAbstract:
Esta pesquisa se norteou pelo questionamento acerca do papel e da relevância da revista mensal piauí, criada em 2006 e que parece trafegar na contramão de uma tendência jornalística atual, a dos textos mais curtos e de notícias instantâneas. A revista retoma uma tradição de longas narrativas, as chamadas grandes reportagens, valorizando a história, os personagens e, por que não dizer, o talento do jornalista, ao invés de centrar forças na técnica e no texto conciso. Dessa forma, piauí exige uma outra percepção de seu leitor, uma outra formação, além de requerer dele uma outra disposição para apreender as informações contidas em suas narrativas, dedicando um tempo maior à leitura e assimilação do lido. Mas há outro ponto a ser levantado: diferentemente de outras revistas de informação, piauí não se pauta pela explicação, análise e interpretação dos \"grandes temas\" da sociedade ligados ao agendamento, e sim vai trabalhar a sua produção de sentido e mediação a partir de personagens, histórias de vida bem contadas, a curiosidade, o personagem-tipo (e típico) - além de se pautar no texto bem-humorado e, por muitas vezes, irônico. Ela procura trazer aspectos inusitados de um determinado fato, além de oferecer a seus leitores outras maneiras de se informar ou de adquirir conhecimento. Nesse caso se inserem os contos, poemas, quadrinhos e textos abertamente fictícios (apesar de alguns procurarem, num tom divertido, parecer \"factuais\") que a revista publica ao lado de perfis, grandes reportagens e notícias inusitadas. Por isso entendemos que piauí encontra forte identificação com três publicações: as brasileiras Senhor (1959-1964) e Realidade (1966-1976) e a americana The New Yorker (fundada em 1925), que também serão analisadas e comparadas nesta pesquisa. Para levarmos adiante este trabalho, definimos nosso campo de pesquisa nas primeiras 24 edições de piauí - ou seja, nos seus dois primeiros anos de existência, posto que normalmente este é o período necessário para uma nova publicação se estruturar (ou não), criar seu público leitor e estabelecer e fundamentar seus critérios editoriais. São analisadas suas principais seções e suas grandes reportagens, a fim de se estudar como se dá sua produção de sentido. A revista não é estudada aqui como formadora de opinião, mas principalmente como informadora de uma parcela específica da sociedade.The present research is interested in the role and relevance of the monthly magazine piauí, released in the year 2006, apparently taking the opposite direction when compared to the mainstream journalism current tendency: shorter texts and instant newsflashes. The related magazine draws back to the tradition of long stories, the so called long-form reporting, privileging the narrative, its characters and, why not say, the journalist\'s individual talent instead of focusing on the technique and on producing a more concise text. Thus, piauí demands from the reader another perception and another background. It also sets on him another disposition to learn the information present on its narratives, implying a longer period of time to its reading and assimilation. But there is still another matter to be raised about the magazine: apart from other informative magazines, piauí is not guided by the intent of explaining, analyzing and interpreting the \"big social issues\" related the agenda-setting. It develops its sense-making and its mediation through characters, well told life stories, curiosity, character types (and typical) - besides being driven towards a well-humored and, sometimes, even ironic text. It usually presents unexpected perspectives on a given fact, besides providing its readers with different ways of acquiring information or gaining knowledge. In this sense, we understand the inclusion of tales, poems, comics and other openly fictional texts (although, in a funny way, some of them try to seem \"factual\") published by the magazine right by the side of profiles, long stories and some unusual news. That is why we find that piauí can be identified to three other media publications: the Brazilian Senhor (Sir) (1959-1964), Realidade (Reality) (1966-1976) and the American The New Yorker (founded in 1925), which will also be analyzed and contrasted against each other on this research. We have drawn the first 24 editions of piauí as our field of study in the development - its first two years of existence, considering such period as just the right amount of time necessary for a new publication to be established (or not), to relate to a reading audience and to establish and consolidate its editorial criteria. We analyze the main sections of the magazine and its long stories in the search for its sense-making process. The magazine is not taken here as an opinion maker, but mainly as an information provider to a specific sector of society.

Objetivo: Este estudo investiga a associação entre Senso de Coerência (SOC) e dor de dente, uma vez em que não há estudo sobre esta temática até o momento. A hipótese desta pesquisa é a de que adolescentes com forte SOC tendem a menor prevalência de dor de dente do que aqueles com fraco SOC. Método: Estudo transversal de base escolar foi conduzido em 36 municípios de até 50 mil habitantes no sul do Brasil. A população analisada foi a de adolescentes escolares entre 15 e 19 anos. A amostra compreendeu 1150 adolescentes escolhidos por amostragem sistemática. Desses, 68,8% tinham até 16 anos, 57,2% eram do sexo feminino e 71,5% eram brancos. A análise final ajustada por meio de regressão de Poisson é baseada em 1065 indivíduos. Os dados foram coletados pelo questionário SOC-13 e índice CPOD. Resultados: O SOC médio da amostra foi 45, mínimo 27, máximo 60 e o desvio-padrão 5. SOC permaneceu significante ao explicar a dor de dente como um fator de proteção RP=0,65 (95%IC=0,55-0,75). Meninas apresentaram 39% mais dor de dente do que meninos (95%IC=1,15-1,68). Aqueles que foram ao dentista por outra razão que não revisão ou check-up tiveram prevalência de dor dental 85% maior do que seus homólogos (95%IC=1,47-2,34). Adolescentes com dentes cariados apresentaram até duas vezes mais dor de dente do que os livres de cárie. A amostra apresentou 29,8% de prevalência de dor de dente nos seis meses anteriores à pesquisa. Conclusão: Os resultados desse estudo mostraram que um forte SOC é fator de proteção para dor de dente. A abordagem salutogênica pode ser uma estratégia para se alcançar melhores patamares de saúde.Aims: This study investigated the association between Sense of Coherence (SOC) and toothache. To our knowledge, this study is the first to examine this relationship. We hypothesized that toothache prevalence in the previous six months would be lower in adolescents with strong SOC than those with weaker SOC. Methods: A school-based cross-sectional study was carried out in 36 municipalities comprising up to 50,000 residents in southern Brazil. The target population was student adolescents from 15–19 years old. The sample consisted of 1,150 adolescents chosen by systematic sampling. From those, 68.8% were up to 16 years, 57.2% were female, and 71.5% were white. The final adjusted analysis by Poisson regression included 1,065 individuals. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, SOC-13 scale and the DMFT index. Results: The SOC mean was 45, minimum 27, maximum 60, standard deviance was 5. A strong SOC was a significant protective factor for toothache; PR=0.65 (95%CI= 0.55–0.75). Girls presented more toothache than boys PR=1.39 (95%CI= 1.15–1.68). Individuals who saw the dentist for reasons other than reviews or check-ups had a toothache prevalence 85% higher than their counterparts (95%CI= 1.47–2.34). Adolescents with tooth decay reported up to two times more toothache than those without cavities. Of the adolescents in the sample, 29.8% reported experiencing toothache in the previous six months. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that strong SOC protected against toothache. A salutogenic approach may lead to better patterns of health.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse est conçue comme une analyse des thèmes essentiels de la littérature dans l'œuvre de Jules Renard. Il s'agit des thèmes comme la campagne, l'enfant, la femme et l'amour, la vie et la mort. L'introduction présente l'écrivain et son époque, le sujet de la thèse, les points de départ de la recherche et la méthode. Les quatre chapitres de la thèse qui correspondent aux thèmes choisis pour l'analyse sont réunis sous le titre "Jules Renard ou la vie d'un arbre". L'image de l'arbre sert à illustrer l'évolution de l'œuvre de Jules Renard. Dans le chapitre "racines" est analysé le thème de la campagne et des paysans dans les écrits rustiques de l'écrivain et dans son journal. L'auteur de la thèse insiste sur le rapport entre la connaissance de la campagne et les œuvres de Jules Renard. Le chapitre "croissance de l'arbre" présente le thème de l'enfant ayant pour matériel de base le récit Poil de carotte et la pièce au même titre complétés par le journal. L'enfant est vu dans ses rapports avec la famille. Le troisième chapitre "fleurs et fruits" s'occupe des deux aspects de l'amour dans la vie et l'œuvre de renard : la tentation du rêve et l'amour conjugal auxquels correspondent les deux types de femmes qui ont influencé sa vie et son œuvre; la femme idéale et l'épouse. Le dernier des chapitres "arbre vivant et menace" est l'analyse des deux aspects contradictoires de la vie de Renard : les affinités avec la vie et le sentiment de la mort. L'auteur de la thèse présente le drame de Renard : peurs, obsession de la mort et maladie opposées à son âpre désir de vivre. Dans les conclusions de la thèse on souligne la valeur littéraire, artistique et humaine des écrits de Jules Renard, les aspects modernes de sa création littéraire et le réalisme particulier qui lui assurent une place d'honneur parmi les précurseurs de la littérature contemporaineThe thesis is conceived as an analysis of some essential themes of the literature in Jules Renard's works: the country and the peasants, the child, woman and love, life and death. The introduction contains a short presentation of the literary epoch and the writer, the reasons for the choice of these themes and the method of research. There are four chapters for each of the themes contained with the title: "Jules Renard or the life of a tree. The author of the thesis chose this image for clearly illustrate Jules Renard's life and literary work. Therefore the chapters have titles from nature: roots, growth of the three, flowers and fruits, lively and menaced tree. The chapter "roots" presents the theme of the country and the peasants in Jules Renard's rustic novels and in his diary. The second chapter "growth of the tree" presents the childhood based on the novel "Poil de carotte" and on the notes of the diary. "Flowers and fruits" contains an analysis of the love and the women in Renard's life and works. The ideal woman appears in Renard's dreams but he needs also the woman of his days, the wife. They are the flowers. The fruits are the temptation of the dream and the marital love. The analysis is based upon Renard's theatre, on his novels and on the diary. The last chapter is an analysis of the themes life and death in Jules Renard's diary. The author of the thesis presents the writer's life double character: a strong desire to live and to be active, and the obsession of the death, the fears and the sickness. The conclusions provide emphasis on the literary value of Jules Renard's works, on the modern aspects and his particular realism

In 1831, the French aristocrat Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to the heart of the United States of America in order to shed light upon the future of democracy. Before starting out on this adventure, he was already certain that social equality was inevitable. Even though, in his young eyes, the progression of the democratic social state was a “providential fact”, he became worried when he realized that there was a certain ambivalence concerning the political direction that the movement was taking. A democratic social state does not necessary lead to a liberal movement; its opposite, despotism, must seriously be taken into consideration. As such, America became his choice destination for observing all the democratic potential it had to offer, leading him to write his masterpiece Democracy in America (1835-1840), in which he shares his discoveries. Social equality opens an immense breadth of possibilities for human growth, but, at the same time, also presents a risk of dehumanization. In order to get the best out of democracy, humankind must avoid falling into apathy towards politics. Giving up one’s political responsibility is like abdicating one’s freedom and, as such, all hope for greatness. In his work, Tocqueville provides a true explanation of democracy, with all of its most secret orientations. He also provides measures that counterweight this nature, allowing for the fragile equilibrium to be maintained. In this manner, Tocqueville presents himself as the defender of human freedom and dignity, which he believes to be truly threatened. Does social equality allow for human greatness? If so, what conditions are required to deploy such greatness? Nearly two centuries later, are Tocqueville’s words still pertinent? In light of Tocqueville’s thoughts, which were fed by his discoveries on American soil, this dissertation attempts to demonstrate that democracy and human greatness are not incompatible.

Este estudo versa acerca da relação interacional entre os moradores do bairro do José Pinheiro e os policiais militares engajados no programa “Polícia Solidária” no mesmo bairro, na cidade de Campina Grande, e a influência de tal interação para a sensação de segurança dos moradores. Para tanto, partindo-se dos conceitos-chaves de policiamento comunitário propostos por Skolnick, Bayley (2002) e Trojanowicz, Bucqueroux (1999) que podem ser sintetizados em “reorientação das atividades de patrulhamento”, descentralização do comando”, “supervisão das atividades policiais” e “prevenção à criminalidade” desenvolvidos com vistas à uma aproximação entre os policiais militares e os moradores, bem como para a melhoria da sensação de segurança destes. Diante disso, analisou-se sob a perspectiva qualitativa através de incursões etnográficas, entrevistas, conversas informais e observação participante e não-participante, a percepção tanto dos moradores quantos dos policiais militares, sobre tais temáticas, de modo que ao fim, pôde-se descrever e analisar como era a relação entre os moradores e policiais militares do bairro. Os resultados indicaram que apesar de haver uma estrutura física que faz menção ao programa “Polícia Solidária” no bairro, qual seja, a Unidade de Polícia Solidária do Bairro do José Pinheiro, as ações de policiamento desenvolvidas no bairro, correspondiam às facetas preventivas e repressivas do policiamento tradicional, e não do policiamento comunitário, de modo que não havia uma aproximação consensual entre os policiais militares e os moradores do bairro, o que interferia na melhoria da sensação de segurança destes últimos. Em síntese, pode-se dizer que o patrulhamento era móvel e aleatório, abrangia uma extensa área territorial; bem como, que a referida Unidade de Polícia Solidária ainda atuava conforme um modelo centralizador de planejamento e execução das atividades policiais; e também que a supervisão das atividades policiais e a eventual responsabilização dos policiais militares eram precárias e ineficientes; por fim, concluiu-se que a prevenção à criminalidade seguia a lógica da filosofia de policiamento tradicional por meio do patrulhamento móvel, bem como abordagens e buscas pessoais esporádicas. Em razão da atuação policial insuficiente e da maciça presença das atividades criminosas, os moradores do bairro recorriam ao elemento sobrenatural, “Deus”, “Jesus”, como forma de proteção, o que evidenciava a ineficiência do Estado em promover políticas de segurança pública adequadas.
This study deals with the interaction between the residents of the neighborhood of José Pinheiro and the military police officers engaged in the "Solidary Police" program in the same neighborhood, in the city of Campina Grande, and the influence of such interaction on the residents' sense of safety. Therefore, starting from the key concepts of community policing proposed by Skolnick, Bayley (2002) and Trojanowicz, Bucqueroux (1999), which can be summarized in "reorientation of patrol activities", "decentralization of command", "supervision of police activities "and" prevention of crime"developed with a view to bring military police and residents closer together, as well as improving their sense of security. On this, the perception of both the inhabitants and the military police on these subjects was analyzed from a qualitative perspective through ethnographic incursions, interviews, informal conversations and participant and non-participant observation, so that, at the end, to describe and analyze how the relationship between residents and military police in the neighborhood was. The results indicated that although there is a physical structure that mentions the "Solidary Police" program in the neighborhood, which is the Solidarity Police Unit of the José Pinheiro Neighborhood, the policing actions developed in the neighborhood corresponded to the preventive and repressive facets of traditional policing rather than community policing, so there was no consensual rapprochement between the military police and neighborhood residents, which interfered with the improvement of the security feeling of the last ones. In summary, patrolling could be said to be mobile and random, covering an extensive territorial area; as well as, the indicated Solidarity Police Unit was still acting according to a centralized model of planning and execution of police activities; and also that supervision of police activities and possible accountability of military police officers were precarious and inefficient; Finally, it was concluded that crime prevention followed the logic of traditional policing philosophy through mobile patrolling, as well as sporadic approaches and personal searches. Because of the insufficient police action and the massive presence of criminal activities, the residents of the neighborhood used the supernatural element "God" and "Jesus" as a form of protection, which evidenced the State's inefficiency in promoting adequate public security policies.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s'inscrit à la fois dans le champ de la psychologie environnementale et de la psychologie sociale. Elle est introduite par une réflexion épistémologique promouvant le paradigme de la Pensée Complexe (Morin, 1977) dans les travaux de recherche et questionnant la place de la psychologie environnementale sur la scène scientifique. Les travaux exploratoires relatés ensuite portent sur l'appréhension psychosociale des infrastructures de transport, une question pertinente au regard des revendications des populations vis-à-vis de l'aménagement du territoire et du dessein sociétal de développement durable. Les représentations sociales (Moscovici, 1961), l'implication personnelle (Rouquette, 1997) et certaines dimensions de la relation Homme-Environnement dont le sens du lieu (Jorgensen & Stedman, 2001) et l'appropriation de l'espace ont été mises en perspective avec les attitudes. En somme, il s'agissait d'analyser les différents paramètres qui font l'acceptabilité (ou non) des aménagements de grande ampleur. La thèse présente plusieurs développements méthodologiques : la traduction d'une échelle de sens du lieu (Jorgensen & Stedman, 2001) et l'élaboration d'une échelle d'appropriation de l'espace. Elle fait ensuite état de quatre études de cas menées dans différentes régions françaises où des infrastructures de transport étaient en projet ou récemment mises en service. Chacune de ces études a permis de mettre en exergue la saillance du contexte local (économique, environnemental) au sein des représentations sociales. Il a également été observé que les éléments représentationnels revêtant un enjeu spécifique étaient les plus à même d'expliquer les attitudes. Une synthèse des quatre études a permis une modélisation des différentes variables. On constate que l'appropriation de l'espace et l'implication personnelle contribuent également à la construction des attitudes. La discussion pose les jalons d'une bonne intégration des infrastructures de transport dans le contexte socio-économique des régions concernées, en montrant un recul critique vis-à-vis des conceptions de type " NIMBY ". On y développe un certain nombre de conclusions dont la proximité avec les résultats de travaux réalisés en géographie sociale révèlent un potentiel interdisciplinaire intéressant.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo central compreender um sentido identitário de nação construído pela Minissérie Grande Sertão: Veredas por meio de gêneros e temas. O referencial teórico e procedimentos adotados possibilitaram compreender a articulação entre gêneros literários, gêneros do discurso, gêneros televisuais e acabamento temático numa perspectiva de construção histórica de um sentido de nação socialmente determinado. Essa abordagem abriu-nos caminho para discutir questões referentes aos diversos enfoques teóricos sobre a problemática dos gêneros no campo da Comunicação. Analisamos os discursos dos principais artífices da minissérie, os discursos da imprensa sobre a minissérie e os elementos constitutivos da minissérie com base em uma perspectiva dialógica em que a dimensão de significação das relações humanas é permeada pela ideologia do enunciado. O estudo da minissérie Grande Sertão: Veredas revelou que a escolha temática e o tratamento estético estão sujeitos às injunções sociais, que, em certa medida, privilegiam a abordagem de um ou de outro tema. Como resultado dessas discussões, identificamos características do gênero minissérie permeadas por um acabamento temático até certo ponto inovador demonstrado pelo tratamento estético diferenciado de alguns elementos narrativos, como por exemplo: personagens, sonorização, ambiente. Enfim, o acabamento temático e o tratamento estético se articulam harmoniosamente e se concretizam num produto artístico no qual é possível discernir o gênero como articulador de um modelo de interpretação e de visão do mundo.The central target of this work is to comprehend a sense of nation identity built by the television miniseries Grande Sertão: Veredas through gender and theme. The theoretical referential and procedures adopted allow to understand the articulation between literary genders, discourse genders, televisual genders and thematic finishing in a perspective of historical construction of socially determined sense of nation. This approach has opened to us a path to discuss questions referring to several theoretical focus about the question of genders in Communication. The miniseries main personages discourses, the press discourses about the miniseries and the miniseries constitutive elements were analyzed based in a dialogical perspective where a signification dimension of human relations is permeated by the enunciation ideology. The study of the miniseries Grande Sertão: Veredas revealed that the thematic choice and the aesthetic treatment are subject to social injunctions which, in certain measure, privilege the approach of one or other themes. As result of these discussions, characteristics of the miniseries gender were observed permeated by a thematic finishing untill certain point innovative. This was demonstrated by the aesthetic finishing differentiated from some narrative elements, for instance: personages, sonorousness and ambient. In short, the thematic finishing articulates itself harmoniously and turn into an a artistic product in which is possible to discern the gender as the articulator of a paradigm of interpretation and a world vision.

O presente estudo tem como foco o pensamento de Protágoras, bem como o contexto em que este pensador se insere, enfatizando o significado da sua famosa sentença do homem como medida de todas as coisas. Nosso objetivo geral consiste em fazer um panorama do contexto filosófico em que o sofista pôde forjar-se como autor. O objetivo específico por sua vez consiste em compreender a sua doutrina a partir da sentença que é o coração de seu pensamento. Em dependência do testemunho principalmente de Platão em seu diálogo Teeteto, a reconstrução do pensamento de Protágoras inicia-se por nós a partir da concepção da irrevogabilidade de todas as percepções/sensações experimentadas por cada indivíduo. O homem-medida protagórico nos leva do tema da realidade sensível à formulação do problema em termos de julgamento e opinião, e a medida, que inicialmente é pensada como cada indivíduo, passa a ser pensada para além de cada homem, para ser pensada como cada cidade. A fronteira entre medida e desmedida, o problema da responsabilidade, a questão da educação e o próprio surgimento da filosofia são abordados em nossa investigação, tal como nos estimula a fazer Platão em sua exposição e crítica ao sofista, assim como acerca dos problemas que acometiam a Grécia daquele tempo.
The present study focuses on the thought of Protagoras and the context in which this thinker belongs, emphasizing the significance of his famous sentence of man as the measure of all things . Our overall objective is to make an overview of the philosophical context in which the sophist could be formed as an author. The specific goal in turn is to understand his doctrine from the sentence that is the heart of his thinking. Dependence mainly on the testimony of Plato in his dialogue Theaetetus, the reconstruction of the thought of Protagoras begins for us from the conception of the irrevocability of all perceptions/sensations experienced by each individual. The protagoric man-measure theme leads us from the formulation of sensible reality to the problem in terms of judgment and opinion, and so far, which is initially thought to each individual, shall be considered in addition to every man, to be thought of as each city. The boundary between what is measured and what is unmeasured, the problem of responsibility, the issue of education and the very emergence of philosophy are covered in our research, as Plato urges us to do in his exposition and critique of the sophist, as well as of the problems that affected Greece during that time.

Cette thèse a pour objet le champion. Elle vise à comprendre comment se fabrique la grandeur du champion au cœur de nos sociétés modernes et son rapport à la justice. Elle tente de rendre compte des problèmes identitaires qui sont liés à l&'attribution de la grandeur. Par l'examen de cas concrets, l'enquête se focalise sur la façon dont le champion répond en personne de sa grandeur sur d'autres scènes sociales et s'expose au jugement du public. S'appuyant sur une diversité de méthodes, l'étude décrit comment se construit le champion et les différentes épreuves qu'il traverse. Mais les épreuves ne sont pas seulement sportives, elles sont aussi identitaires dans la mesure où la grandeur peut être pour la personne un drame moral et public. Le regard focalise alors son attention sur le passage de la grandeur du champion entre des mondes sociaux, sur le coût de l'excellence ; et ce qu'il ressent nécessite de rendre compte de l'expérience vécue de la grandeur. Ainsi la recherche décrit la façon dont le champion peut réorganiser ses relations avec les autres, reconsidérer son environnement, les ressources qu'il mobilise pour se maintenir et rester identique à travers le temps et l'espaceThis thesis deals with the champion. It aims at understandings how the greatness of the champion is built in our modern societies and its relation with justice. The study attempts to traduce identity problems which are linked to the nomination and the public recognition. The examination of cases allows to focus the investigation on the champion's way to assume his greatness on the social scene and to expose himself the public sentence. This research based on diversity of methods describes how the champion is built and attempts to show clearly the different events or tests he as to pass. However the events are not only sporting ones but also identity tests because the greatness can be for the person a moral and public tragedy. The sociological look focuses on the passage of the champion's greatness through social worlds, on the excellence cost and what he feels. It also underlines what happens and events he has to pass which needs to express the real experience of the greatness. Thus it shows how the champion can reorganize his relationship with people, reconsider his environment, the resources that he needs to remain the same through the time and the space

Ce document est consacré à la recherche d'une méthodologie de conception des futurs capteurs dits intelligents. Pour en apprécier la validité et les performances, ce premier essai de méthodologie est applique à l'étude d'un capteur de granulométrie développé au sein de notre équipe. Dans une première partie nous étudions, la place du capteur au sein des systèmes. Nous nous sommes intéressés uniquement aux systèmes continus. Une deuxième partie traite du capteur dans sa généralité, en intégrant son rôle élémentaire de mesure, le phénomène traditionnel de perturbation auquel il est soumis, et enfin le modèle descriptif de la grandeur physique. L'analyse d'un capteur intelligent, dans une troisième partie, détaille les aspects lies à la mise en service et la configuration, la métrologie et évoque les problèmes d'exploitation et de maintenance. Le modèle d'obtention de la mesure opérationnelle présenté à ce niveau fait appel à des notions nouvelles de base de données et d'unité de gestion du temps. La quatrième partie introduit la grandeur granulométrique, la caractérisation des séparations, la taille et la forme des particules, la notion d'indice de forme, ainsi que les modes d'expression des résultats. Les incertitudes de mesure sont prises en compte. Il est fait appel aux normes françaises et internationales ainsi qu'aux différentes méthodes d'analyse granulométrique. La cinquième partie présente le granulométre conçu au laboratoire et les modèles statique et dynamique associes au capteur de température du fluide de sédimentation, ainsi que les modèles statiques des deux capteurs de pression. Les influences de la masse de minerai et de la température du fluide ainsi qu'une modélisation sont proposées. Cette modélisation fait appel aux trois méthodes mathématiques, lsie, gradient et moindres carres. Enfin, la sixième partie est consacrée à l'analyse, a posteriori, du granulomètre. Nous y utilisons comme support la méthodologie de conception des capteurs intelligents proposée au troisième chapitre

Full textAbstract:
Architecture today does not respond to memory, the essence of character. As a result, a disengagement exists between people and place. In a world of constant movement a sense of place is not only uncommon but in some instances unknown; we are continuously in a state of motion. We commonly forget why we are here, who settled the land we now inhabit. We forget that life is more than technology bombarding us at every instant; it is more than work and more than financial success. We forget that life can be more. Architecture is also in this state of constant motion, financial success is placed ahead of experience, and as a result places become indifferent, unmemorable, and apathetic. Memory must not be put to the wayside; it is the bond that connects us to our culture. It enables our will to dream. Architecture can be the means of remembering. By cueing memory through emotion and sensory detail, one is able to pause and recall past events. The dilapidation of one’s environment can also cue memory. The act of showing the passage of time makes the past come alive. By responding to these aspects architecture becomes an indication of memory. As a result we will be connected to the land on which we live and have a reason to call that place home. We will have a heightened sense of place. Alienation and placelessness will be no more. The inevitable result of engaging memory in architecture will produce memorable spaces that inspire us, leaving us with a sense of belonging. The intention of this thesis is to illustrate that architecture is capable of unlocking memory, both collective and personal, through materials, form, and experience. This will evoke personal insights and ultimately provide memorable architecture that enhances a sense of place. As a result, we will be brought back to the days of childhood, to imagination, to a life full of meaningful events that imprint memories on the soul.

Cette thèse se propose de démontrer et d'éprouver selon quelles dynamique le processus de management du savoir se construit et s'enchaine, entre ordre et désordre, dans une approche transdisciplinaire et extensive, au cours de ses différentes phases de création, de diffusion et d'usage. Dans cette perspective, le travail s'articule en deux parties. La première partie porte sur les trois dynamiques du management du savoir se déployant depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à la période contemporaine. Les deux premières dynamiques combinées sont qualifiées de longitudinales et transversales. La troisième dynamique, plus spécifiquement associée à la période contemporaine, met en exergue les différentes composantes du nouveau régime de croissance fondé le savoir. La seconde partie, directement centrée sur la période contemporaine et son univers marchand, constitue un prolongement et d'aboutissement de la précédente. Elle se propose de catégoriser cet univers marchand largement immatériel, au sein duquel oeuvrent des personnes et des organisations, sur la base d'une typologie fondée sur trois "mondes de grandeur" : le "monde de grandeur homogène", le "monde de grandeur hétérogène" et le "monde de grandeur hybride". Enfin, une partie conclusive mettra en lumière les risques de privatisation du savoir et de son management, en proposant quelques pistes susceptibles d'en limiter les effetsThis doctoral thesis aims to demonstrate and test in which dynamic process of knowledge management is built and chained, between order and disorder, in a transdisciplinary and extensive approach in its various phases of development, dissemination and use. In this perspective, this work is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the three dynamics of knowledge management that extend from Antiquity to the contemporary period. The first two combined dynamics, are qualified of longitudinal and transverse. The third dynamic, more specifically linked with the contemporary period, highlights the various components of the new knowledge-based growth, knowledge-based growth. The second part, directly focused on the contemporary period and the business world, is a form of continuation and completion of the previous one and its different dynamics. It proposes to categorize this new universe, largely immaterial, in which acts individuals and organizations, on the basis of a typology articulate around three "worlds of grandeur" : the "homogenous world of grandeur", "the "heterogeneous world of grandeur "and the "hybrid world of grandeur. A concluding section will highlight on the risks of knowledge privatization and will suggest some ideas that may limited its effect

Full textAbstract:
Mesurer des grandeurs et exprimer cette mesure en utilisant des unites decimales etablit un lien entre l'algebre des grandeurs et l'algebre qu'utilise la numeration decimale. La these analyse les raisons des pratiques actuelles de l'enseignement des mathematiques en france qui font qu'a chaque grandeur et a chaque forme d'ecriture numerique correspondent des activites et des moments differents du cursus d'apprentissage. En s'appuyant sur des dispositifs utilisant plusieurs unites decimales de mesure et sur la pratique de l'ecriture polynomiale resultante, on peut imaginer d'autres formes d'apprentissages numeriques. La definition de ces dispositifs et des moyens de leur utilisation necessite une approche de l'enseignement des mathematiques separant un "constructivisme" du nombre base sur le mesurage des grandeurs d'autres acquisitions comme la notion de modelisation definie par yves chevallard (la modelisation comme concept) et la conquete d'une autonomie individuelle des moyens de calcul ecrit (calcul "reflechi"). Ces demarches impliquent un deplacement des objets d'enseignement mathematiques habituels vers des objets d'enseignement metamathematiques. Ce deplacement permet une diminution du nombre d'objets etudies et ainsi une utilisation du "temps didactique" favorisant l'autonomisation et l'individualisation des apprentissages mathematiquesMeasuring magnitudes and expressing this measure in decimal units establishes a relationship between the algebra of magnitudes and the algebra used in the decimal number system. This thesis analyses the reasons behind the methods used for teaching mathematics in france today. These methods associate each magnitude and each form of numerical writing with activities and different learning stages of the curriculum. Relying on mechanisms made up of several decimal measuring units and on the resulting use of polynomial writing, other forms of numerical learning can be imagined. Defining these mechanisms and the ways to apply them requires an approach to teaching mathematics separating the "constructivism" of the number based on the measurement of magnitudes from other acquisition methods such as the idea of modelisation defined by yves chevallard (modelisation as a concept) and the acquiring of an individual autonomy of the tools for written calculus ("thought-out" calculus). These processes imply a shift from the current mathematical teaching subjects towards metamathematical teaching subjects. This shift will allow a reduction of the number of subjects to be studied, and consequently, a better use of the "didactical time" to be dedicated to a more individual and autonomous learning of mathematics

Full textAbstract:
Inspectrice générale des écoles maternelles nommée en 1881 par Jules FERRY, Pauline RECLUS épouse KERGOMARD a pendant près de quarante ans (1879-1917) été au service de l'école maternelle française. Mais l'histoire de l'éducation par les figures ne l'a pas retenue. Aujourd'hui on trouve même des enseignants des écoles maternelles qui ne la connaissent pas. Pauline KERGOMARD est exclue du " monde de l'opinion ", ce " monde " dans lequel la célébrité est la grandeur. De ce constat de départ qui a motivé notre intérêt pour Pauline KERGOMARD nous avons fait une réalité de l'Histoire de l'éducation par les figures au fil de nos interrogations et des réponses que nous avons apportées dans la première partie de ce travail. Il nous a ensuite fallu comprendre pourquoi une grande figure qui a fait quelque chose de remarquable, puisqu'elle n'est pas moins que " la fondatrice de l'école maternelle française ", n'a pas été retenue par l'histoire de l'éducation par les figures. Pour ce faire nous avons repensé la place des grandes figures de l'éducation, à l'aune des grandeurs, un concept que nous avons emprunté, à la suite de Daniel HAMELINE, à Luc BOLTANSKI et Laurent THEVENOT. Reprenant alors nos interrogations à la lumière des grandeurs et des " mondes ", nous sommes allée chercher pourquoi l'histoire de l'éducation par les figures n'a pas retenu Pauline KERGOMARD, la fondatrice de l'école maternelle française. De ces voyages dans ces " mondes ", à la recherche de notre explication, nous avons acquis la certitude que Pauline KERGOMARD est l'exemple type d'un mode de construction de l'histoire, qu'il a été passionnant de mettre à jourIn 1881 Pauline RECLUS married KERGOMARD was appointed Général Inspector for nursery schools by Jules FERRY and served French nursery school eduction for nearly forty years. But the history of influential figures in education make no mention of her. Today there are even nursery school teachers who have never heard of her. Pauline KERGOMARD was excluded from the “ world opinion”, a “world” in which fame means greatness. This realization was the starting point which motivated our interest in Pauline KERGOMARD, and the first part of this document we have studied the history of education as seen through influential figures by means of questions and answers. Then we have tried to understand why an influential person who did something remarkable, since she was actually the founder of the French nursery school, has been overlooked by the history of influential figures in education. To do this we have studied influential figures as far as their greatness is concerned, a concept we borrowed following Daniel HAMELINE, in Luc BOLTANSKI et Laurent THEVENOT. Returning to our questions in the light of greatness and “worlds” we have gone on to find out why the history of influential figures in education overlooked Pauline KERGOMARD, the founder of French nursery school. From our exploration of these “Worlds” while searching for an explanation, we have come to the the conclusion that Pauline KERGOMARD is a typical example of a way of constructing history which was extremely interesting for us to discover

Full textAbstract:
La présente étude trouve son point de départ dans le sentiment de malaise et de déception que la France éprouve vis-à-vis des Deux-Siciles entre 1734 et 1792, alors qu’un Bourbon, cousin du roi de France, est roi des Deux-Siciles. En effet, malgré sa puissance, la France ne parvient guère à s’imposer face aux Deux-Siciles, ni sur la scène politique européenne, ni à un niveau plus local, méditerranéen, côtier, où se jouent des intérêts économiques assez mineurs pour les Français. Cette thèse, qui étudie les relations entre la France et les Deux-Siciles du seul point de vue de la France, vise en premier lieu, à travers un parcours chronologique initial, à retracer les conflits et à faire apparaître les pierres d’achoppement qui attestent la difficulté et la dégradation de la relation bilatérale, qui expliquent le mélange de déception et d’irritation ressenti et qui mettent en même temps sur la piste des erreurs d’appréciation commises par les serviteurs du roi de France. Se plaçant, précisément, du point de vue de ces acteurs, l’étude a ensuite pour ambition de saisir ces erreurs d’appréciation, et donc de montrer comment la prétendue victime est, à bien des égards, l’auteur de son propre malheur : comment, en d’autres termes, le tour pris par les relations entre la France et les Deux-Siciles renvoie, à un niveau plus profond que celui des événements, à un constant défaut de lecture des réalités napolitaines et siciliennes. Ce constat établi, il s’agit, enfin, de comprendre pourquoi le roi de France, qui dispose pourtant de représentants nombreux, n’est pas en mesure de parvenir à une meilleure appréciation de la situation et donc à une action plus profitable et plus incisive sur ce partenaire a priori plus faible que luiThe starting point of this thesis is the sense of discomfort and disappointment that France feels vis-à-vis the Two Sicilies between 1734 and 1792 when a Bourbon king, a cousin of the king of France, rules the Two Sicilies. Despite its power, France is unable to assert itself over the Two Sicilies on the European stage or at a local scale, that is on the coast, where French economic interests are rather low. The purpose of this thesis is to study the relationship between France and the Two Sicilies from the French point of view. First, conflicts and stumbling blocks are presented in chronological order. This analysis shows the difficulties and the deterioration of the bilateral relationship, that explain French disappointment and annoyance and that put us on the track of misconceptions prevalent among many French king’s servants. Then the study focuses on these misconceptions and shows how the alleged victim is the author of his own misfortune. In other words it shows how beyond all the incidents, France fails to understand Neapolitan and Sicilian realities. After that, this study investigates the reasons why the French king and his many representatives are unable to improve the knowledge of the situation and therefore to carry out an appropriate policy

L'arret en 1969 de la strategie economique tunisienne correspond au debut du declin a l'echelle mondiale de l'economie du developpement. Une fois etabli le degre de filiation la liant a cette theorie la recherche porte sur le double processus de maturation qui amene les elits tunisiennes a devenir respectives au idees developpementalistes et de leur homogeneisation qui leur permet, quand le pays accede en 1956 a son independance politique, d'acceder au pour d'etat en tant que categorie sociale disposant d'une reelle autonomie par rapport aux autres agents sociaux en presence. Cette strategie, defendue et mise en oeuvre par l'aile reformiste syndicale permet au pays d'attenuer les liens de dependance, de se doter d'une certaine base infrastructurelle de reformer l'ensemble des structures economiques et de jeter les bases d'un important dispositif industriel. Les causes de son arret renvoient autant sinon plus a des considerations internes qu'a des "vices" inherents a l'economie du developpement". Aujourd'hui que les politiques economiques dans le tiers-monde se reduisent aux p. A. S peut-on dire que cette theorie est morte? Ce serait effectivement le cas qu'il devait s'agir de sa simple reconduction avec ses avatars et derives : omnipotence, autoritarisme et dictature de l'etatThe stopping in 1969 of the tunisia economic corresponds to the beginning of the decline of development economics on a worldwide basis. Once the degree of application that links the research to this theory had been established, the thesis will deal with a double process. On the one hand, there is the process of maturation which makes the tunisian elite become receptive to the developmentalist ideas. On the others there is the process of homogenization which enabled them, when tunisie acquired its political independence in 1956, to have accestothe political power as social category which has a real autonomy in comparison with the other social agents. This strategy, supported and implemented by the trade unionist refor mist faction, enabled the country to reduce the dependency ties it has with the old colonial power. In the same way, this strategy to be endowed with a certain infrastructurel foundation, to reform the economic structures as a whole, and to lay the fondations or an important structural apparatus. The reasons of the stopping of this strategy are due to internal considerations as

Full textAbstract:
Depuis les années 60, la civilisation américaine est particulièrement placée sous l'emprise de l'image (photographie, cinéma, télévision). Quelle est l'influence de ces images sur la société américaine et le rêve américain, base sur un esprit de quête et de conquête? Cette thèse montre les liens complexes unissant la société, les films, les séries télévisées, les héros filmiques et réels sur trois périodes clés: 1960-1970: "la guerre la plus filmée", la génération hippie, le héros errant, le déclin du rêve américain; 1970-1980: les années Watergate, les "lavettes" à la Maison Blanche, le chaos, le héros défavorise, le perdant, puis le héros surdimensionné, l'absence de rêve. 1980-1988: les années Reagan, le retour triomphant du héros vainqueur et du rêve de quête spirituelle et de conquête spatiale. Le héros reaganien invincible est à l'origine une réaction aux traumatismes des années 60. Les résultats de cette étude montrent que les héros filmiques et réels sont complémentaires et contribuent tous deux à stimuler la société et le rêve. A un rêve triomphant correspond un héros triomphant, et la société bénéficie de cette double influence. En conclusion, on se demandera toutefois si la reprise constatée sous Reagan n'est pas illusoire ou éphémèreSince the sixties, the American civilization has been particularly subjected to the power of images (photographs, cinema, television). How do these images influence the American society and American dream, based on concepts of quest and conquest? This study shows the complex relationships between the society, films, television series, filmic heroes and real life heroes over three key-periods: 1960-1970: "the most televised war", the hippie generation, the wandering hero, the decline of the American dream. 1970-1980: the Watergate years, "wimps" at the White House, total chaos, the unpromising hero, the loser, then the oversized hero, an absence of dream. 1980-1988: the Reagan years, the return of a powerful hero, and a new dream of spiritual quest and space conquest. The origins of the typical, invincible reaganian hero are a clear reaction to the traumas of the sixties. The results prove that the real and filmic heroes are complementary and both stimulate the society. When the dream is strong and the heroes victorious, the society benefits from this double influence. However, one might doubt the durability of this American recovery

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse explore la manière dont s'est constitué le modèle générique de l'épopée, de l'Antiquité au XIXe siècle, à partir d'un corpus d'une dizaine d'oeuvres d'origine et d'époque diverses ; grecques, romaines, romanes, italiennes de la Renaissance et françaises des XVIIIe et XXIe siècles. Son ambition est de poser un autre regard sur le grand style ; considéré longtemps par les érudits comme le poème de l'excellence et objet des débats de la création littéraire, il n'est pas moins resté une forme opaque. Ce travail vise donc à établir une définition du genre, à mettre au jour ses lois de fonctionnement, en évitant d'en donner une image figée que l'évolution générique d'Homère à Hugo contredirait. Il s'appuie pour cette raison, sur la forme « historicisée », --les manifestations d'écart historiques- et sur la forme « actualisée » en examinant le genre dans ses relations avec son contexte. Il s'ouvre ainsi sur la philosophie et l'archéologie, étudie les liens existant entre l'oralité, l'écriture et la céramique grecque. Cette nouvelle approche permet d'interroger différemment l'intertextualité, d'aborder le double « le tissage » que les poètes réalisent dans leurs pratiques scripturales en ne filant jamais l'histoire pour elle-même mais toujours dans un rapport étroit avec la tradition. La lecture des oeuvres sous cet angle amène à voir que l'épopée produit une représentation du monde et de l'humanité dans ses dimensions secrètes ; elle adopte un concept, celui de la grandeur, qui lui permet d'allier majesté et exhaustivité. Le personnage lui sert de lieu d'observation privilégié, tandis qu'elle subordonne l'ensemble à un effet : le pathétiqueThis research paper looks as the building of the epic genre from the Antiquity to the nineteenth century. It's based on a corpus of a dozen works drawn from various countries and centuries (Greek, roman, medieval, Italian Renaissance, eighteenth and nineteenth century France. It aims to take a fresh look at the so-called « epic style ». Although scholars have long considered epos to epitomize poetry and although much debate has been devoted to it, it has remained a fairly elusive form.The purpose of this paper is to lay down a definition of the epic genre to discover the feature rules, taking care not to produce too rigid a definition that would not do justice to the changes that took place between Homer and Hugo. I have therefore examined the works that did not strictly watch the criteria and I put epic into context, branching out to philosophy and archeology, while studying the links between the spoken written and the written versions and Greek ceramic vases.This new approach enables me to challenge intertextuality, to tackle the way poets weave their texts, echoing other people's works and borrowing from them. Reading those works makes me realize that the epic genre puts forward its own three dimensional Weltanschauung; it rests upon the notion of grandeur which allows it to combine harmony and exhaustivity. The character is the chief medium of observation and it seeks to an effect, pathos

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail est consacré à l'étude des pressions totales dans les sols, et de l'interaction sol-structures sur modèles réduits centrifugés et sur modèles semi-grandeur. Les mesures des pressions totales sont effectuées à l'aide de capteurs miniatures. La première partie rend compte de l'état de connaissances sur les capteurs de pression et sur les problèmes d'inclusion sol-capteur et d'interaction sol-structures. Dans la deuxième partie sont étudiés les problèmes d'étalonnage en milieu reconstitué pour un capteur donné, et les réponses de plusieurs types de capteurs avec la méthode de centrifugation. Les résultats mettent en évidence les paramètres influençant peu ou prou la réponse des capteurs. La troisième partie est consacrée à l'étude du coefficient des terres au repos de massifs de sol centrifugés, et de la réaction d'une paroi mobile sollicitant activement ou passivement ces massifs. Les résultats obtenus précisent la limite de validité de certaines formules analytiques, et mettent en évidence l'apport de la mesure des pressions des terres dans les essais sur modèles réduits centrifugés. La quatrième partie traite de l'interaction sol-fondation sous une semelle superficielle. L'influence de la présence d’un bicouche sol-Pneusol sur la distribution des contraintes totales est mise en évidence. L'apport précieux des capteurs de pression aux méthodes de modélisation expérimentales est confirméThe aim of this thesis is the study of total pressure in granular soils and of soil-structures interaction in centrifuge and large-scale models. Total pressure is measured using miniature cells. The first part is dedicated to literature review of the present state of knowledge concerning pressure cells and interaction problems. In the second part the calibration of cell pressures is examined using different techniques, most importantly the centrifuge method. The parameters influencing the response of cells are determined. The third part deals with the study of Ko, and the active and passive stress conditions in sand by the centrifuge method. The validity of theoretical and analytical expressions are established and the advantages of pressure measurement highlighted. The forth part studies the soil-foundation interaction. The influence of a 2 layers "soil-Pneusol" on the pressure distributions is shown. The results demonstrated the usefulness of the cell pressures in geotechnical modelling

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to explore in what way might the concept of common sense inform leadership action? The thesis takes as a starting point typical dictionary definitions of common sense and moves on to critically review related literature from, Delaney (2001), Gerber (2001), Lissack & Roos (2000), Rausch (2009), Zhao (2009) and gains an appreciation of the different aspects of common sense to understand how the implicit nature of common sense influences leadership actions within the context of a large family owned business. A description of Common Sense as something 'positive and desirable' (Fulton, 2006) whilst at that same time something taken for granted which offers the prospect of development according to Rausch (2009) and the possibility of an advanced form of Common Sense (Delaney, 2001) or Critical Common Sense (Watson, 2006) is also considered. The common sense literature is reviewed against the past theories of leadership and using Bryman's (2006) leadership framework the interconnecting elements of both strands of literature are pulled together to form a model of common sense leadership incorporating: trait, style, contingency, and new leadership. The model of common sense leadership integrates common sense with people management, the character and competence of the leader and the new leadership aspects of transformation, vision, and charisma. The research is undertaken predominantly using semi structured interviews and building on an 'interpretative and subjective' general analytical inductive methodology, it contributes to both theory and management practice by making more explicit an aspect of leadership often overlooked - a common sense approach.

Listening to lung sounds, feeling the pulse, observing posture and gait-these are just a few of the examinations that doctors perform on their patients. A physical exam exists for every organ, from the brain to the bones of the feet, each carried out with the physician's senses. For thousands of years, humans had been solely responsible for this exam ritual, until the emergence of diagnostic equipment-CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasounds, echocardiograms, mammograms, and more. In some cases, these devices replaced the physical exam. But in areas of the world where technology is unavailable, and even in places where it exists, many physicians and healthcare professionals cannot or will not to cede their tasks to tools. Their goal: to maintain an environment in which technology and the learned senses can coexist; an environment in which the physical exam remains an integral part of medicine.

Full textAbstract:
Word sense disambiguation (WSD)—the task of determining which meaning a word carries in a particular context—is a core research problem in computational linguistics. Though it has long been recognized that supervised (machine learning–based) approaches to WSD can yield impressive results, they require an amount of manually annotated training data that is often too expensive or impractical to obtain. This is a particular problem for under-resourced languages and domains, and is also a hurdle in well-resourced languages when processing the sort of lexical-semantic anomalies employed for deliberate effect in humour and wordplay. In contrast to supervised systems are knowledge-based techniques, which rely only on pre-existing lexical-semantic resources (LSRs). These techniques are of more general applicability but tend to suffer from lower performance due to the informational gap between the target word's context and the sense descriptions provided by the LSR.
This dissertation is concerned with extending the efficacy and applicability of knowledge-based word sense disambiguation. First, we investigate two approaches for bridging the information gap and thereby improving the performance of knowledge-based WSD. In the first approach we supplement the word's context and the LSR's sense descriptions with entries from a distributional thesaurus. The second approach enriches an LSR's sense information by aligning it to other, complementary LSRs.
Our next main contribution is to adapt techniques from word sense disambiguation to a novel task: the interpretation of puns. Traditional NLP applications, including WSD, usually treat the source text as carrying a single meaning, and therefore cannot cope with the intentionally ambiguous constructions found in humour and wordplay. We describe how algorithms and evaluation methodologies from traditional word sense disambiguation can be adapted for the "disambiguation" of puns, or rather for the identification of their double meanings.
Finally, we cover the design and construction of technological and linguistic resources aimed at supporting the research and application of word sense disambiguation. Development and comparison of WSD systems has long been hampered by a lack of standardized data formats, language resources, software components, and workflows. To address this issue, we designed and implemented a modular, extensible framework for WSD. It implements, encapsulates, and aggregates reusable, interoperable components using UIMA, an industry-standard information processing architecture. We have also produced two large sense-annotated data sets for under-resourced languages or domains: one of these targets German-language text, and the other English-language puns.

Full textAbstract:
Ces dernières années, de nombreux progrès ont été faits dans le domaine de la simulation numérique de pièces en élastomère. Ces avancées sont en grande partie motivées par la nécessité d'améliorer les délais et les coûts de conception dans des domaines industriels fortement compétitifs, et notamment pour les pièces anti-vibratoires automobiles. Dans ce contexte, si les logiciels classiques de type éléments finis sont capables de prédire efficacement l'histoire des déformations et des contraintes au sein des pièces, la prédiction de la durée de vie de celles-ci en fatigue reste un problème ouvert. Le processus de rupture par fatigue dans les élastomères se fait en deux phases : une premère phase d'initiation durant laquelle des micro-fissures apparaissent au sein du matériau, puis une phase de propagation durant laquelle ceux-ci croissent jusqu'à la rupture. Des travaux récents ont démontré que la première phase est prédominante pour la fin de vie des pièces anti-vibratoires. Ainsi, la construction d'une grandeur prédictive effcace doit être capable de déterminer les zones propices à l'apparition de micro-défauts au sein d'une pièce. Les trois grandeurs prédictives classiquement utilisées pour estimer la durée de vie en fatigue des élastomères sont la déformation principale maximale, la contrainte principale maximale et l'énergie de déformation. Si celles-ci s'avèrent effcaces pour des cas de chargement uniaxiaux, leur utilisation pour des cas de chargement multiaxiaux pose problème. Afin de prédire la rupture en fatigue des pièces élastomères en service, une grandeur prédictive efficace dans le domaine mul-tiaxial est nécessaire. Celle-ci doit être indépendante du mode de déformation, motivée par la physique des phénomènes mis en jeu, théoriquement bien fondée et finalement aisément implantable dans les outils numériques. La présente thèse propose de construire une telle grandeur. Des observations expérimentales réalisées préalablement et permettant de comprendre les phénomènes physiques mis en jeu nous ont conduit à considérer le tenseur des contraintes configurationnelles établi par Eshelby en 1951. Dans le domaine élastique, le nouveau prédicteur proposé est la plus petite valeur propre de ce tenseur, la direction propre associée étant la direction normale au plan d'ouverture de la fissure. L'extension de ces travaux au cas inélastique est aussi développée. Afin de vérifier le bien-fondé de cette théorie, des données expérimentales classiques de la bibliographie ont été utilisées ; les résultats obtenus démontrent l'efficacité de notre approche notamment pour unifier les résultats multiaxiaux en fatigueThe last decade has experienced a major advance in the development of finite element based tools for the simulation of a wide range of industrial rubber parts. This is mainly motivated by the need to improve time and cost efficiencies in highly competitive industries particularly in automotive Anti-Vibration Systems (AVS) industry. While the basic concept of finite element method capable of predicting stress and strain histories has been well established, the use of these histories to estimate fatigue life of rubber parts in service remains a critical issue. Typically, the fatigue failure process involves a period during which cracks nucleate in regions that were initially free of observed cracks, followed by a period during which nucleated cracks grow to the point of failure. For AVS, the former is the most important one. The three most widely used predictors for rubber crack nucleation are the maximum principal stretch, the maximum principal stress and the strain energy density. However, they fail to give satisfying prediction for multiaxial problems. In order to prevent fatigue failure of rubber parts in service, an efficient and well-defined multiaxial fatigue life predictor is required, i. E. Independent of deformation state, physically motivated, theoretically well-formulated and easy to implement into finite element software. Thus, the purpose of this study is to develop a new fatigue life predictor which can meet these requirements. Experimental observations were conducted to understand physical phenomena which take place during fatigue crack nucleation and growth in rubber. Based on these observations, we consider that the configurational stress tensor introduced by Eshelby in 1951 is an appropriate continuum mechanics quantity to develop a relevant fatigue life predictor. In elasticity, the new predictor is given by the smallest eigenvalue of this tensor and the normal of the crack plan is the eigenvector associated with the smallest eigenvalue. An extension to the case of inelasticity is also proposed. To verify its efficiency, experimental data issued from the literature are considered. Results demonstrate that the proposed predictor is capable of unifying multiaxial fatigue data

Full textAbstract:
Tout au long du XIXe siècle Paris demeura d’un point de vue culturel et artistique un tropisme au cœur de l’Europe en particulier grâce au grand opéra français qui fut selon les spécialistes de la question un art politique majeur de 1820 à 1870 ; de sorte que l’Opéra de Paris devint la première scène européenne. Or, en 1879, la République des opportunistes allait non seulement amorcer un tournant radical dans la vie politique française mais aussi fixer nombre d’éléments constitutifs de notre paysage politique actuel. Aussi, nous a-t-il paru intéressant de nous demander d’une part, si le grand opéra français à la fin du XIXe siècle, et plus précisément de 1879 à 1914 demeurait un genre représentatif au regard des réalités artistiques et d’autre part, s’il s’inscrivait toujours dans une perspective historique et politique ou bien au contraire était-il devenu un archétype désuet ? Pour cela, nous nous sommes attelés à une étude critique des différents cahiers des charges qui fondent juridiquement le grand opéra, même si ce genre musical est antérieur de peu il est vrai à ceux-ci, avant de nous intéresser à l’esthétique proprement dit de ce dernier. Puis, dans un second temps nous avons choisi de mettre au jour les implications financières de cette entreprise artistique au cœur de la IIIe République, en évaluant la place de l’Opéra de Paris au regard des autres arts, mais aussi au regard des autres théâtres francophones limitrophes. C’est donc à une étude sociocritique d’un genre déterminé par l’Institution qu’il reflète que nous nous sommes consacrés tout en démontrant que la IIIe République avait engagé l’Institution dans des contraintes lourdes régie par un cahier de charges qui liait l’Opéra de Paris à l’État, à une époque de stabilité politiqueThroughout the 19th century Paris remained by a cultural and artistic point of view a tropism at the heart of Europe, in particular thanks to big french opera which was accoding the specialists of the question a major political art from 1820 till 1870 ; so that the opera of Paris became the first Euopean stage. Given that, in 1879 the Republic of the opportunist was not only going to prime a radical turning point in the french political life but also to fix number of elements which belong of our current political scene. So, it seemed to us interesting to ask us one hand, if the big French opera at the end of the 19th century and more exactly from 1879 till 1914 remained a representative musical genre with regard to the artistic realities and on the other hand, if it always joined one a historical and political perspective either on the contrary it had become an old-fashioned archetype ? For that purpose, we are attached in a critical study of the various specifications which legally the big opera of Paris, even if the musical genre is previous is it true a little of these, before interesting us in the esthetics itself of the latter. Then, secondly we chose to bring the light the financial implications of the artistic compagny at the heart of the IIIth Republic, by estimating the part of the opera of Paris with the regard of the otherbordering frendh-speaking theaters. It is a socialcritical study of determined genre by the Institution which reflects is that we dedicated ouselves while demonstrating that the IIIth Republic had comitted the Institution in heavy contraints governed by a specifications which bound the Opera of Paris to the State, at a period of political stability

Full textAbstract:
From 1985 to 2015, local politicians like Kenneth G. Spillias, Jan Winters, and Nancy M. Graham reshaped downtown West Palm Beach. They promised to eliminate urban blight, and turned a crime-ridden area of the city into an upper-middle class entertainment zone frequented by wealthy pleasure-seekers from throughout Palm Beach County.
However, much of this transformation was an illusion. These politicians eliminated local taxpayers from the decision-making process by circumventing their votes, but subsequently taxed them to pay for the improvements. Furthermore, blight was not eliminated downtown, merely relocated to areas surrounding the entertainment zone. This resulted in ongoing tension between the mostly white patrons and business owners in the redeveloped area, and the primarily black residents in the dilapidated neighborhoods surrounding this development.
