Wiita, Terry. "Charter School Accountability: Patterns of Practice Among Multiple Sponsoring Agencies." Diss., Virginia Tech, 2000. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/77969.
Full textAbstract:
Since 1991, charter schools have become a popular school choice option. Charter schools are independent public schools free from most state regulations in exchange for a written contract specifying that certain results will be obtained. Charter school accountability depends on both the specific charter school law and the agreement that has been struck between the sponsoring agency and the individual charter school. This study explores the patterns of practice in the accountability processes used by multiple sponsoring agencies in Minnesota. Minnesota's charter school law allows local school districts, post-secondary institutions, and the state education agency to sponsor charter schools. One central overarching question was addressed in this study: How do the micro accountability systems of multiple sponsoring agencies within Minnesota compare? In addition, several subquestions provided the framework for the research:
1. How is the charter school accountability process defined in the state legislation?
2. How is the charter school law interpreted by the state education agency?
3. How do sponsors determine the accountability processes they require of their charter schools?
4. How satisfied are the charter school directors and the sponsoring agencies with their accountability process?
This qualitative study utilized research methods suitable for a multiple case study. The two primary data collection methods were document analysis and interviews. Individual case reports for each type of sponsoring agency were written that discussed specific elements of the accountability systems in use by each type of sponsoring agency within the state. A final report outlining the patterns of practice in the accountability processes used by all sponsors is included.
Any measurement of the macro accountability dimensions in the charter school movement may be confounded by the different micro accountability indicators used by the different sponsoring agencies. This study provides information about the specific accountability processes being adopted by the sponsoring agencies. The results of this study will help sponsoring agencies of charter schools focus on the types of accountability to which they may hold their charter schools accountable.Ph. D.

Sheng, Risheng. "Application de l’approche de simulation des grandes échelles à l’évaluation des charges de vent sur les structures." Thesis, Ecole centrale de Nantes, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017ECDN0030/document.
Full textAbstract:
Des bâtiments de grande hauteur sont construits avec un poids et un amortissement structurel de plus en plus faibles en lien avec l'évolution des techniques de construction et des matériaux. La connaissance des charges de vent dynamiques est un enjeu important pour la conception des grands bâtiments afin de garantir leur sécurité structurelle. L'objectif de cette thèse est d’évaluer la capacité de la simulation numérique des grandes échelles (LES) à prédire les charges de vent sur les structures et d’étudier l'influence des conditions d’entrée d’une simulation LES sur ces charges. Des expériences ont été menées à échelle réduite dans la soufflerie atmosphérique NSA du CSTB afin de documenter l’écoulement atmosphérique modélisé, de caractériser son interaction avec un bâtiment et les charges de vent statiques et dynamiques résultantes. Le sillage du bâtiment a été caractérisé grâce à des mesures PIV. Les efforts globaux et les pressions locales ont été mesurés par une balance et des prises de pression à haute fréquence. Ces expériences en soufflerie ont permis de développer un générateur de conditions amont (GCA) pour la simulation LES, visant à reproduire les principales caractéristiques de la turbulence dans la couche limite. La base de données constituée a également permis de qualifier les résultats des simulations LES réalisées avec le code OpenFOAM dans la configuration de l’expérience. L’utilisation du nouveau GCA et d’un générateur dégradé qui ne respecte pas toutes les caractéristiques de l'écoulement a permis de montrer la nécessité de bien reproduire les caractéristiques du vent incident pour accéder aux charges dynamiques sur le bâtimentHigh-rise buildings are built with increasingly low weight and structural damping in relation to the evolution of construction techniques and materials. The understanding of dynamic wind loads is an important issue for the design of high-rise buildings in order to guarantee their structural safety. The objective of the present work is to assess the ability of large eddy simulation (LES) to predict wind loads on structures and to investigate the influence of the inflow boundary conditions of a LES simulation on these loads. Experiments were carried out at a small scale in the NSA atmospheric wind tunnel of CSTB to document the modeled atmospheric boundary layer, to characterize its interaction with a building and the resulting static and dynamic wind loads. The wake flow around the building has been characterized by PIV measurements. Global and local wind loads were measured by a high frequency force balance and high frequency pressure taps. These wind tunnel experiments allowed for the development of an inflow turbulence generator for the LES simulation,which was aimed at reproducing the main characteristics of turbulence in the boundary layer. The database also made it possible to assess the quality of the results of the LES simulations carried out with the OpenFOAM code in the same configuration as the experiment. The use of both the new turbulence generator and a degraded one that does not account for all the characteristics of the flow has made it possible to show the necessity to reproduce the characteristics of the upstream wind flow in order to access the dynamic wind loads on the building

Full textAbstract:
Les sites chimiques, pétrochimiques et pétroliers génèrent des effluents chargés en polluants soumis à une réglementation de plus en plus stricte. Le travail de thèse se focalise sur le traitement des effluents industriels et plus spécifiquement sur l'amortissement des pics de pollution via un procédé d'adsorption/désorption afin de minimiser les impacts négatifs sur l'épuration biologique. Pour cela, deux études complémentaires ont été menées en parallèle. La première étude concerne l'adsorption et la désorption de polluants en phase aqueuse avec notamment la sélection d’un adsorbant puis la détermination de ses capacités d'adsorption vis-à-vis de deux molécules modèles. Plusieurs cycles d'adsorption et de désorption ainsi que des pics de pollution ont été réalisés afin de (i) démontrer la faisabilité du procédé, (ii) d'identifier les phénomènes mis en jeu et les paramètres déterminants dans la capacité d'amortissement d'une colonne d'adsorbant et (iii) étudier les phénomènes de compétition entre molécules. Les données expérimentales ont pu être modélisées avec succès à l'aide d’un couplage du modèle Linear Driving Force (LDF) et de l'isotherme de Freundlich. D'autre part, l'impact d'une variation de charge sur les performances épuratoires du traitement biologique seul a été examiné et comparé aux effets observés lors d'un pic de pollution sur un procédé couplant une colonne d'adsorbant (en amont) et le traitement biologique. Un intérêt a également été porté aux foisonnements de bactéries filamenteuses, survenus à plusieurs reprises : une identification des filaments a été réalisée et un traitement de lutte efficace a été mis en place. Les résultats ont démontré qu'une colonne d'adsorbant placée en amont du bassin de biodégradation permet d'améliorer la qualité de l'effluent traité et ainsi de respecter les normes de rejet fixées par la législation.

Full textAbstract:
Dialogue between courts and legislatures can occur where legislatures reverse, modify or avoid judicial decisions. With two exceptions, however, legislatures have only reversed the Supreme Court on three occasions. Defiant legislative responses enacted without the notwithstanding clause undermine the Charter and the courts, and are an inappropriate means of expressing institutional disagreement. However, based on a model of coordinate constitutionalism, recourse to the override constitutes a legitimate means for legislatures to advance alternate interpretations of Charter rights. Furthermore, section 33's value lies in the opportunity it creates for public deliberation regarding issues of national importance. Its relative disuse can be attributed to a combination of factors including its legislative history, the influence of American constitutionalism and an executive-dominated parliamentary process. Recognizing the legitimacy of section 33 would contribute to a greater respect for the roles and responsibilities of all three branches of government under a system of constitutional supremacy.

Doucette, Wendy C., and Rebecca Tolley. "Using Civility in the Form of Mindful Speech and Action to Cultivate Empathy among Library Employees." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2017. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/5372.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter investigates ways in which civility and mindful speech within the library workplace can improve the quality of employees’ interactions with each other. While most examinations of communication within libraries focus on the exchange between patrons and providers, this case study focuses on the vehicle of communication among co-workers and examines how civil discourse coupled with mindful speech reinforced by mindful actions can foster an atmosphere of cooperation, leading ultimately to empathy. We highlight common points within national and local civility initiatives which allow institutions to preserve their own unique culture while adhering to accepted benchmarks of civil dialogue. Although we present a mix of suggested strategies for cultivating mindful words and actions, based on empirical research limited to our own institution, we recommend civility and mindful speech leading to mindful action as gateways toward the adaptation of healthy shared values. Emphasizing civility, one of the cornerstones of civilization and peaceful coexistence, has widespread practical and social implications for countering the detrimental effects of poor communication. This effective, affordable, and attainable practice can repair the underdeveloped, fractured, and even dysfunctional relationships which lead to low workplace morale.

Full textAbstract:
« Je n’ai plus de prières si ce n’est pour elle, mon imagination entière ne prend forme qu’autour d’elle et le monde qui m’entoure n’existe que par elle. » Avec ces mots, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe décrit l'amour et les Leiden des jungen Werthers qui deviennent un succès mondial. Pour Anne Louise Germaine de Staël, le protagoniste est le représentant de l’amour unique, puisque exceptionnel, Charles François Dominique de Villers admire sa « Sehnsucht, Ahndung, Schwärmerei » et c’est Stendhal qui nomme le phénomène de l'amour allemand pour la première fois concrètement comme « Amour à la Werther qui ouvre l’âme à tous les arts ». En souhaitant présenter à leur pays natal un modèle complémentaire, ou même, comme Villers, une alternative à la conception française de l’amour, ils transfèrent l’idéal « romantique » de Werther sur son auteur et sur tousles Allemands. Mais peut-on se contenter de dire que Villers, Mme de Staël et Stendhal se sont mépris sur Goethe et son ouvrage ? Cette interprétation s’opposerait aux objectifs de ce projet de recherche francoallemand,d’illustrer à l’aide de l’Amour à la Werther le « commerce des idées » entre 1770 et 1840 dans lequel« toutes les nations proposent leurs marchandises. » Les malentendus provoqués par ces efforts de médiation sont la partie essentielle des transferts culturels. Ils prouvent à Goethe après tout « qu’il est lui-même, à son corps défendant, un romantique » et à l’auteure de la présente thèse, que l’amour ne se laisse pas nationaliser et que les stéréotypes comme, par exemple, la frivolité des français et la profondeur des allemands, atteignent leur limite avec ce phénomène“Ich habe kein Gebet mehr, als an sie; meiner Einbildungskraft erscheint keine andere Gestalt als die ihrige,und alles in der Welt um mich her sehe ich nur im Verhältnisse mit ihr“. With these words Johann Wolfgang von Goethe characterizes the deep sentiment of a heartfelt love in his Leiden des jungen Werthers, which became aworldwide success. For Anne Louise Germaine de Staël the protagonist is the representative of a unique love,Charles François Dominique de Villers admires Werther’s “Sehnsucht, Ahndung, Schwärmerei“, and Stendhal isthe first who specifies the phenomenon of the German love as “Amour à la Werther qui ouvre l'âme à tous lesarts.” In trying to bring forward a model of a supplement, or even, like Villers, of the substitute of the Frenchconcept of love to their native country, these authors assign the “romantic” ideal of Werther to his author and,moreover, to all Germans. However, does it suffice to say that Villers, de Staël and Stendhal havemisunderstood Goethe and his work? With their interpretation of Werther’s love, those authors offer an interesting example of “geistiger Handelsverkehr” between different European countries, i.e. the considerableinteraction between various cultures at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. Themisunderstandings, which are caused by these efforts of the intercultural mediation, are an essential part of theinteraction. They prove to Goethe after all, “dass er selber, wider Willen, romantisch ist.“ And to the author ofthis thesis they prove that love cannot be perceived within the borders of nations, and that it cannot simply bebroken down to stereotypes such as the frivolous Frenchman or the profound German

"An exploration of financial conscientiousness among School Governing Bodies and School Management Teams and its impact on Boundary Spanning Management on selected Section 21 High Schools in the Eastern Cape Province." Thesis, Walter Sisulu University, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/11260/878.
Full textAbstract:
The study investigated the underlying factors which induce the School Governing Bodies (SGBs) and School Management Teams (SMTs) to boundary cross into each other’s finance functional domain despite the fact that their responsibilities are demarcated in the South African Schools Act No. 84 of 1996. The study also intended to examine financial conscientiousness as a critical strategy, which was aimed at achieving the following: restricting the boundary spanning management among School Governing Bodies and School Management Teams, giving direction and strengthening the relationship between the two structures in section 21 high schools. Pragmatism was used as a paradigm for this study as it has been hailed as one of the best paradigms for justifying the use of mixed methods research. The researcher located the study within mixed methods research and employed the convergent parallel design characterised by collecting concurrently both qualitative and quantitative data. The study used a nonprobability sampling strategy – a purposive sampling technique. The study focused on 147 participants. The sample consisted of the following participant sub-groups: (a) 138 questionnaires participants (46 school principals, 46 SGB chairpersons and 46 school finance officers) sampled from 46 high schools, and (b) 9 face-to-face interviews participants (3 school principals, 3 SGB chairpersons) and purposively sampled from 3 different section 21 high schools located in rural, semi-urban and urban areas of the Butterworth District, and 3 Departmental Officials (The District Director, An Education Development Officer, and District National Norms and Standards for School funding coordinator) sampled from the Butterworth Education District. The study was guided by the following research question: What ideas of consciousness raising strategies could help alleviate the crossing over of boundaries between SGBs and SMTs on financial matters of the section 21 high schools? The financial conscientiousness conceptual framework for this study hinged on the conscious raising concept of Paulo Freire supported by philosophical ideas of theorists of school-based management concept, school-based participative partnership concept, school-based participative management concept and teamwork concept. These theories are expected to encourage the inclusive participation when finances are handled in section 21 high schools. The study used a survey questionnaire to collect quantitative dataset and interviews for the qualitative dataset to find answers to the research question and also to enhance the reliability and validity of the research findings. The quantitative data were presented in tables with frequencies and percentages as well as pie charts. Themes and Natural Meaning Units (NMUs) were used to analyse the qualitative data. The overall findings backed by the extant literature and research data indicated that there was lack of trust among SGBs and SMTs. Owing to this mistrust the day to day activities of the school were compromised. There were power struggles between SGBs and SMTs in schools for the control of school finances. There were corrupt practices by both SGBs and SMTs in the management of school finances. The findings also revealed lack of capacity building by the department of education. Furthermore, the SGBs parent component was characterised by high illiteracy level – a systemic weakness worsened by the manipulation perpetrated by both school governing bodies and school management teams during school finance management processes. Resulting from the data analysis, the study recommended the utilisation and application of Sifuba’s School Finance Management Awareness Model (SSFMA) as a new model that could be adopted and adapted by the Department of Education for the school finance management. This will create educational sound atmosphere and realities at school level – a model that is capable of inducing the participative and inclusive behaviour of the SGBs and SMTs when they perform their financial responsibilities

Full textAbstract:
Le texte déposé ici est l'un des documents soumis en vue d'une Habilitation à diriger des recherches en lettres et sciences humaines, soutenue à l'Université Paris X-Nanterre le 29 juin 2006. Ce texte de synthèse retrace, comme c'est l'usage, la carrière du chercheur depuis ses enquêtes en pays touareg de 1976 à 1990. Avant d'aborder les recherches en cours, l'auteur fournit un résumé de ses deux principaux ouvrages, La tente dans la solitude. La société et les morts chez les Touaregs Kel-Ferwan (Paris/Cambridge, Maison des sciences de l'homme/Cambridge University Press, 1987) et Gens de parole. Langage, poésie et politique en pays touareg (Paris, La Découverte, 2000). Il entend marquer comment s'est imposé à lui, avec de plus en plus de force au cours des années, le fait que l'anthropologie doit être considérée comme une science historique : les concepts qu'elle utilise restent indexés sur le contexte d'écriture où ils sont apparus, et ne peuvent être transposés sans trahison ni isolés sans simplification. Ce qui suppose que l'anthropologue, tout comme les autres praticiens des sciences sociales, ne peut travailler qu'à un niveau d'abstraction assez bas.Les recherches en cours, que le texte aborde ensuite, consistent tout d'abord en une réflexion générale sur la littérature orale, dans ses rapports avec l'écriture. Dans ce cadre l'auteur a notamment abordé la question homérique, à travers une analyse critique des thèses de Milman Parry et Albert Lord. Il s'est aussi attaché à montrer comment les thèmes de la poésie courtoise - qu'elle soit touarègue, arabe ou occitane - sont liés aux conditions de sa production et de sa réception. Ces recherches ont par la suite fourni la matière d'un livre paru en 2012 à CNRS Éditions : L'aède et le troubadour. Essai sur la tradition orale (voir http://www.academia.edu/1500254/Laede_et_le_troubadour._Essai_sur_la_tradition_orale).
Les recherches de l'auteur consistent par ailleurs en une réflexion sur l'histoire des premiers contacts entre Touaregs et Français. Cette réflexion a conduit l'auteur à retracer le parcours biographique de l'explorateur Henri Duveyrier (1840-1892), et de Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916).
Les autres documents soumis en vue de cette habilitation étaient un recueil d'articles, dont certains, consacrés au parcours de Charles de Foucauld, ont fourni la matière à une biographie parue en 2009: Charles de Foucauld, moine et savant (voir http://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-00426237/fr/). À quoi s'ajoutait une biographie d'Henri Duveyrier parue en 2007 aux éditions Ibis Press sous le titre: "Henri Duveyrier. Un saint-simonien au désert".

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail porte sur l'expression du sentiment amoureux et l'image de la femme de christine de pisan a martin le franc. En effet, la rehabilitation de la femme a ete la grande preoccupation de christine. Dans son oeuvre, elle s'est consacree a la defense de son sexe, et elle tenta de restaurer a la femme l'image qui lui est due. A une demi siecle presque d'intervalle, martin le franc, prevot de lausanne, mobilisa toute sa verve et tout son enthousiasme a plaider la cause des femmes. Il s'est voue a une tache bien difficile puisqu'il a du faire face a tout ce que l'eglise a prone et pendant des siecles contre les femmes. Quant a charles d'orleans, il s'est plu a trouver dans la tradition courtoise un refuge ou il a donne libre cours a tout ce qui bouillonnait dans son coeur. Dans son oeuvre, la femme est de nouveau sur un piedestal recevant hommage et honneur. Loin de la courtoisie et de ses dogmes, villon raconta dans son "testament" son experience avec les femmes aupres de qui il fut l'amant renie mais ou il a pu cependant trouver refuge et abri. Blotti aupres de sa mere, villon implorait "la dame des cieux". Femme-mere, femme source de salut, deux images honorables de la femme ont surgi de l'oeuvre de villon. Ainsi, l'on peut dire que les oeuvres de ces quatre poetes ont bien marque cette premiere partie du quinzieme siecle. Les ouvrages qui lui firent suite, et dans leur plus grande partie, insisterent egalement sur l'image positive de la femmeThis work deals with the expression of passion and the image of woman from christine de pisan to martin le franc. The rehabilitation of woman was christine's major preoccupation. In her works, she devoted herself to defending the woman and she tried to restore the image to which she has a right. After an interval of almost half a century, martin le franc, provost in lausanne, mobilized all his verve and his enthusiasm to plead the cause of woman. He dedicated himself to a difficult task since he had to face the churches' centuries-old animosity towards woman. As for charles d'orleans, he revelled in taking refuge in courtly tradition, and gave a free rein to everything that his heart was teeming with. In his works, woman has been put back up on a pedestal to receive homage and honour. In his "testament", far form courtesy and its dogmas, villon relates his experience as a repudiated lover of women amongst whom he could nevertheless take refuge. Snuggled up to his mother, villon implored "the lady of heavens". Woman as a mother, woman as a source of protection, these are the two honorable images that arose from villon's works. Thus we can say that the works of these four poets marked this first part of the fifteenth century. Most of the works which followed also insisted on the positive image of the woman

Tout d'abord, nous évoquerons un aperçu général de l'analyse topologique basée sur la densité d'électronique, le trou d'échange-corrélation et la densité de paires. Une fois la densité électronique rappelée, l'analyse topologique de la densité électronique est expliquée, ainsi que la procédure de calcul des points critiques de la densité électronique, le calcul de la matrice hessienne de la densité électronique et la définition des points critiques à la surface. Tous ces outils topologiques permettent de caractériser la nature des liaisons chimiques parallèlement à l'indice basé sur la délocalisation. Afin de comprendre la nature des énergies et des interactions dans les systèmes, l'analyse d'interaction non covalente est expliquée et combinée à l'analyse de décomposition d?énergie. De plus, les états de transition seront étudiés en appliquant les orbitales naturelles pour la valence chimique (ETS-NOCV). Les concepts clés du magnétisme moléculaire sont abordés. Nous nous concentrons sur l'aimantation et la susceptibilité magnétique, les composants diamagnétiques et paramagnétiques provenant de toute réponse magnétique dans les systèmes. Les propriétés de champs magnétiques induits sont étudiés dans le but de comprendre l'aromaticité à travers de deux descripteurs, les déplacements chimiques indépendants du noyau et les densités de courant induit. En annexe à la théorie, l'interaction isotrope dans les composés dinucléaires est introduite pour expliquer et mesurer certaines erreurs trouvées dans la théorie de la fonctionnelle de densité (TFD). [...]The first property here analysed and related with electronic localization/delocalization is the aromaticity. Aromaticity is an important concept introduced by Kekulé; since then, theoreticians and experimentalist have tried to understand it in different groups of molecules analogues to benzene. The importance of this concept and how the aromaticity is affected by the chemical environment is important to understand and link some physicochemical properties. i.e., reactivity, stability, magnetic response. The physicochemical properties of interest are the electronic structure, the nature of bonds and organometallic interactions(differentiation between metallocenes and metallabencenes). Furthermore, the magnetic response and the study of building blocks as possible candidates to make nano-wires or new low-dimension magnetic materials. Finally, we try to understand the interaction and the errors involved in some properties theoretically computed like, the isotropic coupling between metals through aromatic (or organic) units that have become important benchmark molecules to study magnetic properties in inorganic as well as metal-organic systems [...]

Full textAbstract:
La lombalgie est un problème majeur de santé publique et de santé au travail dans les pays industrialisés. La chronicité de la lombalgie et l’incapacité qui en découle sont potentiellement sources d’altération de la qualité de vie, de rupture des parcours professionnels, voire de désinsertion socioprofessionnelle. La première partie de ce travail situe la problématique de la pathologie rachidienne en lien avec l’activité professionnelle et de sa reconnaissance sociale. L’évolution vers la chronicité de la lombalgie ainsi que la restriction de participation sociale et professionnelle s’inscrivent dans un modèle dynamique faisant intervenir des facteurs liés à l’individu, au système de soins et de prévention, au travail, et au système de compensation financière. La nécessité de l’intégration de tous ces éléments pour la prise en charge médicale et la surveillance médico-professionnelle des travailleurs lombalgiques est développée à travers l’exposé des recommandations de bonne pratique. Les recommandations pour la visite de pré-reprise soulignent notamment l’intérêt de la coordination des acteurs médicaux, sociaux et du travail pour le retour/maintien en emploi et la lutte contre la désinsertion professionnelle des travailleurs lombalgiques. Enfin, les stratégies proposées aux travailleurs lombalgiques qui ont montré leur efficacité associent un réentraînement physique intensif, une approche cognitivo-comportementale, une action en milieu de travail et la coordination des acteurs du retour au travail. Cependant, la mise en place de ces interventions complexes présente un certain nombre de limites et notre équipe tente de développer des stratégies hiérarchisées et plus largement applicablesLow back pain is a major public and occupational health issue in industrialized countries. Chronic low back pain and resulting disability are potential sources of impaired quality of life, breaking career and even socio-professional exclusion. The first part of this work places the issue of the back intervertebral disc disease related to work and its social recognition.The low back pain chronicity and the social and professional restriction of participation are part of a dynamic model involving factors related to the individual, to the prevention and care system, to work, and to the financial compensation system. The need for integration of all these elements for medical care, prevention and medical and occupational surveillance of low back pain workers is developed through the presentation of recommendations for good practice. Recommendations for pre-return-to-work medical examination especially emphasize the benefit of coordinating medical, social and occupational actors for the return to / retention at work and the fight against occupational exclusion of low back pain workers. Finally, the offered to low back pain workers strategies which have shown their effectiveness in reducing the duration of sick leave combine an intensive physical rehabilitation, a cognitive-behavioral approach, a workplace intervention and the coordination of return to work actors. However, the implementation of these complex interventions has a great number of limitations

Les " êtres de fiction " (Souriau/Latour) qu'ils mettent en scène expérimentent dans l'espace, dans des décors merveilleux ou dans une campagne réenchantée par une humeur gaillarde, des relations sexuelles utopiques. Ces relations tissent un " nouveau monde amoureux " qu'on peut qualifier de " libéral " par le soin accordé aux goûts de chacun-e, la générosité à l'égard des déshérité-e-s de l'amour et la pluralité de ses formes d'association. Notre enquête dégage ainsi un nouveau type de coopération, indissociablement littéraire et intellectuelle, entre des auteurs et des textes d'époques différentes, qui pouvaient ne se connaître que de loin, mais qui s'avèrent consonner de près : une même ouverture cosmique, un éthos sexuel commun, une semblable gaieté fictionnelle se traduisent par la formation d'une utopie sexuelle et textuelle convergente. La texture de cette utopie conduit notre enquête à emprunter aux études littéraires, pour l'analyse du merveilleux et de la gaieté notamment, ainsi qu'aux études philosophiques, pour l'analyse de la pensée sexuelle - mais surtout aux deux à la fois, car ce sont les " êtres de fiction " délégués par Diderot, Rétif et Fourier qui façonnent cette pensée et lui confèrent son originalité utopique.

Relationship between structure and activity of the antimicrobial peptide has been reported in previous studies. Many structure parameters have been suggest to correlate with their activity. For example role of polar angle and charge for antibacterial have been demonstrated to be importance. MP-B, as a model peptide in this study, is used to explore the correlation of the structural parameters, including polar angle, charge, helix content and hydrophobicity with their intramolecular and antimicrobial activity by using high-resolution two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, we investigate to the conformational change of MP-B and an analog and analysis the impact of these parameters on the antimicrobial activity. We investigate in detail the influence of the angle subtended by the positively charged amino acids on amphipathic helical peptides. The concentrated charge at C terminal, shows a larger value of the generalized order parameters relative to MP-B, and might form smaller oligomers and reduced antimicrobial activity. The reversed phase HPLC retention times showed that peptides with smaller polar angle have stronger interaction with the hydrophobic stationary phase. On the other hand, peptides with more charged residues and aromatic residues within a larger polar angle show a positive correlation with the content of helix content (%). Peptide property does not dominated by a specific structure parameter. The activity of these peptides is thought to be determined by global structural parameters rather than by a specific amino acid residue.

Full textAbstract:
Damaged bases in DNA are known to lead to errors in replication and transcription, compromising the integrity of the genome. A molecular wire, DNA conducts charge with shallow distance dependence, yet mismatches and lesions attenuate this process. We have proposed a model where repair proteins, containing redox-active [4Fe4S] clusters, utilize DNA charge transport (CT) to scan the genome for lesions. Based on this model, proteins are predicted to redistribute onto strands where DNA CT is inhibited. Using single-molecule atomic force microscopy (AFM) we have probed the redistribution of EndoIII, a base excision repair protein that contains a [4Fe4S] cluster. Consistent with the model, we find a redistribution of EndoIII onto DNA strands (3.8 kbp) containing C:A mismatch, which is not a specific substrate of EndoIII but inhibits CT. Proteins with mutations making them deficient in DNA-mediated CT do not similarly redistribute onto mismatched strands.
Various DNA-binding proteins, such as those involved in repair and pathways that maintain the integrity of DNA, have been found to contain FeS domains and other redox cofactors. We are discovering proteins from alternate repair pathways that may also utilize DNA CT to find damage. XPD, a 5′-3′ helicase involved in nucleotide excision repair, contains a conserved [4Fe4S] cluster and exhibits a DNA-bound redox potential that indicates it is able to carry out DNA CT. In AFM studies, we observe also the redistribution of XPD onto strands containing a mismatch. We further demonstrate that an XPD mutant, L325V, defective in carrying out DNA CT, does not redistribute onto mismatched strands.
DNA CT between distinct repair proteins bound to DNA was also probed by AFM. When XPD and EndoIII are mixed together, they coordinate in relocalizing onto mismatched strands. However, when a CT-deficient mutant of either repair protein is combined with the CT-proficient repair partner, no relocalization occurs. These data not only indicate a general link between the ability of a repair protein to carry out DNA CT and its ability to redistribute onto DNA strands near lesions but also provide evidence for coordinated DNA CT between repair proteins in their search for damage in the genome.

Low-cost carrier in recent years in the aviation market set off a wave. Some low-cost airlines even threat the conventional airlines in the market, such as Southwest Airlines in the United States, Air Asia in Malaysia. On the other hand, some low-cost carriers went bankruptcy due to poor management, such as Zoom Airlines in Canada, and Oasis Hong Kong Airlines. A natural question arises: which type of business model, low-cost carrier, conventional carrier or chartered carrier, should airline operations adopt, low-cost carrier? This study applies Porter's (1990) ``Diamond`` analysis, together with SWOT analysis, to the aforementioned question. The research identifies the corresponding competitive conditions and strategies for each business model. This gives important implications for the aviation business in Taiwan.

abstract: Teacher shortage crisis were consistent across the nation. Higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, and political leaders were actively seeking solutions to ensure classrooms did not sit vacant and were not staffed by individuals who are unqualified to teach. This mixed methods action research study examined one strategy for teacher recruitment by targeting high school students who attended a Title 1 school. Due to the growing Hispanic population in Arizona, coupled with the underrepresentation of Hispanic teachers compared to the number of Hispanic students, a particular focus was devoted to targeting Hispanic high school students as they represented a potential untapped pipeline of future educators. The study was conducted to explore factors that might increase student interest in declaring education as a major upon graduating from high school and eventually pursuing teaching as a career. Three theoretical frameworks guided the study: (a) Theory of Planned Behavior, (b) Self-Efficacy, and (c) Social Cognitive Career Theory. A total of 20 participants engaged in the intervention over the course of three weeks. The intervention included engagement in curriculum exposing students to the teaching profession as well as clinical experiences. Data gathered included pre- and post- intervention survey results and semi-structured interview questions. It was anticipated the intervention would increase students’ interest in becoming a teacher. Results demonstrated a decrease in intention post-intervention. Future research should examine alternative recruitment approaches for students who do not already have an interest in pursuing the profession.Dissertation/Thesis

Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the professional medical members in charge of treatment for sexual offenders, to analyze the relationship between their job stress and emotional management, and to provide the effectively recommendations of their emotions to resolve the work pressure. A total of 110 questionnaires were received from middle Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare (MHW) whose job is to provide the advice for criminal of sexual assault. The valid questionnaires were 89.09%. The data was gathered through valid and reliable questionnaires, being analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear regression analysis (α=0.05). The main study found that the self-adjustment and self-expectation of the person’s work stress were significantly positive and affect the emotional management. The predictive force (path coefficient = .672, .551, R2 = .477, p <.05), where the self-adjustment of work stress is shown the strongest (R2 =.446，p<.05). Health workers undergo lots of job stress, especially doctors and nurses because their jobs are critical. Ghulam Nejad and Nik Peyma in a study found out that the major occupational stressors for nurses include lack of receiving reward and encourage, high workload, lack of key decision makings, lack of control over working conditions, lack of career promotion. Therefore, it is recommended that short-term training courses be scheduled and designed based on the concepts of emotional management.

Full textAbstract:
This research project was primarily a qualitative investigation, the purpose of which was not to test a particular set of hypotheses, but rather to develop an exploratory analysis of the disjunction between spoken and written English among pupils at St Charles High School. In light of the lack of empirical and exploratory research on the use of English as a second language in Lesotho, the study aimed to investigate pupils' and teachers' perceptions on the use of English as a subject and medium of instruction. Chapter 1 presents an introduction of English and the formal type of education in Lesotho by missionaries just before the middle of the nineteenth century. Although English is regarded as the 'language of power' nevertheless the teaching and learning of the language has its own problems and teachers and pupils' experiences with second language learning in different local and international contexts are discussed in Chapter 2. The study used both qualitative and quantitative methods to gather and analyse data. A case study approach was employed using a range of instruments to collect data relevant to the aim of this project. The findings show that although pupils are generally proficient in spoken English and appear to understand the spoken language fairly well, assessment of their written exercises and during lesson observations indicates that their fluency in English is not related to their performance in written English. Therefore, fluency in English language does not necessarily form a sufficient basis to describe pupils as competent in English (L2). This does explain the possible difference between spoken and written English. The thesis does not offer tips for teachers nor are methods prescribed about how to teach English as a second language. Although limited to a particular high school (the detail and context of which are described in Chapter 3), much of what was found and the subsequent recommendations may be of value to improve the teaching and learning of English. I hope that this study, which was very much a pilot in nature, will help to highlight issues that might be addressed in more detailed studies in the field of second language learning.Thesis (M.Ed.)-University of Natal, 2002.

In electric vehicles, there is electrical energy storage such as battery and ultracapacitor. For ultracapacitor, those which are connected in series will be placed in one stack for the sake of achieving a targeting power. The non-homogeneity in the thermal conditions of all the cells may result in differences in the ageing behaviors among the cells, which in turn causes unbalanced charge/discharge characteristics. To comprehend further on, it is developed ultracapacitors’ ageing model to simulate in different ambient temperature between ultracapacitors stack’s interior and exterior and unbalanced charged discharge. Ultracapacitors which are conneted in series have same specification and same ambient temperature at outside, risk of unbalanced charging can still occur.The reason is the effect of internal volume’s temperature which are placed among ultracapacitors and different heat transfer convection between interior and outside. The high ultracapacitors’ temperature which are affected by the high charging current input also affect internal volume’s temperature. The purpose of applying PI controller in an ultracapacitor stack is to control an ultracapacitor stack’s voltage. While Balancing Cell help an ultracapacitor stack to balance voltage and make voltage kept in range between 1.35-2.7 Volt. The combination between PI controller and balancing cell helps an ultracapacitor stack perform longer.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the conditions of competition that are implicit in the idea that market-based school reform will improve schools. The research was conducted in Washington, D.C., which provides three theoretically competing schooling options to its public students: the traditional, publicly managed public school system; publicly financed but privately managed charter schools; and the D.C. voucher program, which pays private-school tuition with public funds. Based on interviews with high school principals directing the three types of schools, the study found minimal competition among the types of schools. While all the principals were committed to school choice, there actually was little rivalry among the three types of high school principals. The majority of the principals actually knew little about and felt minimal impact from the other types of high schools. While recruitment of families and students is a major measurement of competition, the study could not find a connection between the level of enrollment and the recruitment efforts of the principals or the quality of information they provided potential families and students. The study also focused on structural issues that could explain the minimal competition among the three types of schools and concluded that, during the period of the study, they were not designed to compete and did not perceive strong incentives to do so.

The first purpose of this study is to find out whether the adult learners’ customer satisfaction of the marketing strategy in the adult educational institution is affected by the basic variables-gender, age, vocation, monthly income and education differences. Secondly, the purpose is to find whether the adult learners’ customer satisfaction of the marketing strategy is different from institutions. This research approach is conducted with the survey questionnaire method along with statistical inference. The questionnaire is “ The Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire,” which is developed by the researcher and applied to the six public social educational institutions in Taiwan. The objects of study are adult learners who studied in the social educational institutions from January to March in the year of 2004. The number of the valid samples in this study is 430, and the percentage of retrieving the questionnaires is 83.8%. The results are summarized as the following statements: 1.The adult learners’ average score of the customer satisfaction towards the marketing strategy of the social educational institution is 3.12; it means they feel satisfied. 2.The marketing strategy of the social educational institution has to try more to earn the focus of the male or aged adult learners. 3.The customer satisfaction is less influenced by the basic variables. 4.There are significant differences between the adult learners’ customer satisfaction in the two variables (age and institutions).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores these attitudes towards sympathy and moral growth as illustrated in several novels by Charles Dickens and George Eliot. The issue of moral growth is what definitively separates Dickens and Eliot in their fiction and informs their interpretation of realism, suffering, and sympathy. Following the examination of the role of suffering in moral development in the first chapter of the thesis, the second chapter will look at how each author views childhood and the moral implications of inexperience. A further key area, and the subject featured in the third chapter of the thesis, is how the conflicting representation of childhood in the novels is extended to the portrayal of childish adults. Examining the depictions of intellectual disability and the distinction between ?idiot? characters and merely childish or immoral adults offers another important dimension to the comparison between two of Victorian fiction‘s key players. The final chapter deals with the role of ?idiocy? within each author‘s moral framework, and further illuminates the distinct ideologies of moral growth that essentially shape and differentiate their works.

Combination of the compact but sterically flexible ferrocene scaffold with intermolecular binding potential and conformational variability of (2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium structural motif was utilised in the construction of solid crystalline materials. Crystallisation in systems containing ferrocenecarboxylic, 2-ferrocenylacetic, 3-ferrocenylpropionic, 3-ferrocenyl- acrylic, 3-ferrocenylacrylic, 3-ferrocenylpropiolic, ferrocene-1,1'-dicarboxylic or ferrocene- sulfonic acid with 2-aminoethanol afforded crystals of the corresponding salts. The resulting crystalline products were characterised with the usual methods (proton nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis) and their crystal structures were determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structures of the salts mentioned above usually contain rather complicated two dimensional networks of charge-assisted hydrogen bonds. With the aim of studying potentially more simple hydrogen-bonded structures, additional crystallisation experiments were conducted in systems of ferrocenecarboxylic acid and 2-(methylamino)ethanol or 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol. These experiments yielded simple salt of the former amine and adducts of salts of both bases with ferrocenecarboxylic acid in the ratio of 1:1. The...
