Cette étude est réalisée en forêt dense humide du Cameroun. Elle étudie : i) la capacité d’adaptation des espèces plantées selon deux méthodes dans les dispositifs sylvicoles abandonnés de Mangombé et ii) compare la biodiversité floristique de la forêt de Mangombé à celles de Bidou et Campo moins perturbées. Dans les plantations, les espèces qui se sont adaptées au site et presentant les meilleures performances de croissance diamétrique sont : Gmelina arborea (Verbenaceae), Dipterocarpus alatus (Dipterocarpaceae) et Aucoumea klaineana (Burseraceae). La régénération naturelle en plantation est diversifiée. Les forêts naturelles sont diversifiées comme l’indique l’indice de Shannon, le coefficient de diversité générique et la richesse spécifique qui est élevée à Mangombé (38 familles et 91 espèces), intermédiaire à Bidou (32 familles et 88 espèces) et faibles à Campo (29 familles et 75 espèces). La zoochorie concerne plus de 71% des espèces recensées. L’importance de la flore à affinité forestière consolide la possibilité pour la régénération naturelle de reconstituer à long terme la biodiversité végétale en plantation<br>This study is carried in rainforest of Cameroon. It presents: i) the adaptability of species, planted with two sylviculturals methods in Mangombe’s plantation and ii) compare the biodiversity of Mangombe’s forest to those of Bidou and Campo less disturbed. The adapted species with few mortality and best diameter increasement are : Gmelina arborea (Verbenaceae), Dipterocarpus alatus (Dipterocarpaceae) and Aucoumea klaineana (Burseraceae). The natural regeneration under canopy in plantation is heterogenic and diversed. The vegetation indices show a high diversity in all the sites : Shannon index, generic diversity and specific richness which is higher in Mangombe (38 families and 91 species), intermediary in Bidou (32 families and 88 species) and lower in Campo (29 families and 75 species). Zoochory concerns more than 71% of the species, and suggests a major role of animals in the regeneration process. The abondance of species familiar to non disturbed natural forest confirms the possibility for the natural regeneration to reconstitute in long term the biodiversity in plantation

Full textAbstract:
Ma thèse est une réflexion sur une notion que j'appelle Bijou de corps. Une sculpture portée sur le corps. Ma création m'a permis de réfléchir à la possibilité d'un art féminin. Non pas forcément produit par des femmes mais relevant d'une féminité originaire. Pour autant, il m'a semblé important d'analyser le côté érotique du Bijou de corps. Quel est le statut exact de l'érotique qui est enjeu dans mes performances «Pas sages», dans mes Bijoux de corps et qui en font un moment essentiel de manifestation de la douceur, de l'élégance? J'estime désormais que les actions ou toutes tentatives par l'artiste d'expérimentation sur soi-même dans la réalité crue représentent une voie sans issue. J'espère pouvoir affirmer que les caractère performatif de l'identité sexuelle est encore plus clair dans le port d'un Bijou de corps, dans lequel s'opère une dénaturalisation entre sexe masculin/genre féminin, résultant évidemment du fait que l'identité sexuelle n'est rien d'autre qu'une façade. Mélange de corps, le Bijou de corps englobe les muhitudes par rapport à celles de la différence sexuelle. Le Bijou de corps devient l'espace de création où féministes, homosexuels, transexuels, intersexuels, transgenres, bizarres, insolites, étranges, excentriques, louches, singuliers, drôles, loufoques. . . Queer, changent de peau

Full textAbstract:
Dans la première partie, nous retraçons, tout d'abord le contexte de l'apparition de l'adjectif "sentimental" et son évolution ; puis nous définissons son sens, sa notion au XVIIIe siècles, et ses conséquences sur le plan esthétique. Dans la deuxième partie, nous mettons en correspondance et en valeur cette notion avec l'objet et le bijou. Un objet devient "sentimental" dans la mesure où il témoigne d'une séparation provisoire ou définitive, en même temps qu'il tente de la conjurer. Offert, échange, il rappelle par les émotions que sa présence suscite, un être aimé disparu. Cette évocation est d'autant plus intense quand l'objet transforme en bijou, est porté sur soi - ou même sur la peau. Le bijou sentimental permet ainsi de rester physiquement "en contact" avec celle ou celui que l'on désire désespérément conserver près de soi. Il est la marque, la garantie, la matérialisation du lien, de l'existence du sentiment de l'amour ou (et) de l'amitié. Il est le signe d'un paradis qui brille plus par son absence que par sa présence. Dans la troisième partie, nous nous attardons sur "les morceaux", "les fragments", de ces êtres disparus, qui pense-t-on alors, permettent de les rendre "plus présents" encore. L'objet réalisé avec, ou à partir de ces "précieux restes" de l'être cher, permet de resserrer l'écart entre l'original et la copie. Il ne s'agit donc nullement de nier cet écart - imitatif - mais de recréer à l'aide du support qu'est le bijou sentimental, une image sensible de la personne absente. En conclusion, l'homme sentimental menace, confronté douloureusement à l'alterité, à la perte, privilégie le sentiment, langage de l'unité, afin de retrouver cette dernière. La mort même, n'est qu'une séparation momentanée pour celui qui reste, car bientôt il rejoindra l'autre pour une union éternelle<br>In the first part, we relate the context for the appearance and evolution of the adjective "sentimental" ; then we make a definition of it, its meaning in the xviiith century and its consequences on an aesthetic level. In the second part, we put this notion in the relation and we enhance it with the objet and the jewellery. An object can become "sentimental" in the way that it shows a temporary or final parting in the same time as it tries to cast it out. When it is offered or exchanged, it reminds one of a loved and departed person through the emotions that it brings up. This recalling is all the more intense when the object is a jewel one wears - and above all when it is on the skin. Sentimental jewellery allows us to remain physically "in contact" with the man or woman that we desperately wish to keep close to. It is the mark, the promise, the materialization of the bound, of the persistence of the feeling of love or (and) friendship. It is the sign of a paradise that shines more by the absence than by the presence. In the third part, we linger on the "pieces", the "fragments" of the departed that, as it is said, make them "even more" present. The object made with or from those "precious remains" of the beloved, tightens the distance between the original and the copy. The aim is consequently not to deny this distance, but to recreate, from the help represented by the jewel sentimental, a perceptible image of the missing person. As a conclusion, the sentimental man when he is threatened, painfully confronted with alterity, losss, favours felling as an expression of unity so as to find it again. Death itself is only a momentary separation for the one who remains because he will soon meet the other again for an eternal union

Full textAbstract:
Le terme « bijoutier contemporain », apparu dans les années 1970, ne décrit pas de façon claire la pratique qu’il recouvre et les bijoutiers qui opèrent dans ce champ multiplient les qualificatifs. « Bijoutier » ne semble pas suffire ; certains y accolent « plasticien », d’autres « designer », ou le remplacent par orfèvre en se déclarant « orfèvre-plasticien ». Inscrite dans ma propre pratique de bijoutier contemporain, cette dissertation cherche à élucider différents paradoxes dans lesquels nous nous trouvons : alors que les théoriciens qui étudient les productions tirent la conclusion que le « bijou est un art » et que leurs auteurs sont « des artistes », les bijoutiers contemporains ne semblent pas vouloir légitimer forcément leur production comme « œuvres d’art ». La plupart du temps très attachés à leurs ateliers, ils revendiquent de « penser avec les mains » pour créer des objets qu'ils continuent de considérer comme « des bijoux », mais cherchent néanmoins à se distinguer des bijoutiers dits « traditionnels » en qualifiant leurs productions par l’expression « bijoux contemporains ». En constatant que leur pratique n’avait jamais été décrite, j’ai fait le postulat qu’une ethnographie d’atelier me permettrait de saisir le devenir « contemporain » des bijoux. Cette recherche est basée sur la mise en miroir d’une ethnographie de l’atelier d’une collègue avec une auto-ethnographie. Au-delà de la question « art/artisanat », ce double point de vue permet de montrer que les bijoutiers contemporains composent leurs bijoux par assemblages d’expériences, autant sociales que sensibles, en cultivant l’incertitude et le risque, en jouant de l’indétermination<br>The expression “contemporary jeweller”, first appeared in the 1970s, does not clearly describe the practice that it designates, and the jewelers operating in that field use a proliferating vocabulary to qualify themselves. The word “jeweler” does not seem significant enough: some, in France, add “plasticien” [artist] or “designer” to it, others replace it by “goldsmith” and self-identify as “orfèvre-plasticien” [goldsmith-artist]. Embedded as it is in my own contemporary jewelry practice, this dissertation seeks to clear up a few paradoxes: while some theoreticians looking at contemporary work conclude that “this jewelry is an art form” and that its authors are “artists”, contemporary jewelers themselves do not necessarily want to assert for their pieces the status of “art works”. Usually strongly attached to their workshop, they claim to “think with their hands” in order to create objects they still call “jewelry” but set themselves apart from “traditional jewelers” by designating their output as “contemporary”. Having realized that such a practice have never been described, I posited that an ethnographic study of a workshop would enable me to find out how jewelry becomes “contemporary”. I have based my research on the parallel analysis of two ethnographies: the ethnography of a colleague's workshop on one hand and an auto-ethnography on the other. Situated beyond the “art/craft” binary, this double perspective shows that contemporary jewelry makers compose their jewels from an assemblage of experiences, both social and emotional, by cultivating uncertainty and risk-taking, by playing with indetermination

Discipline in the government schools in South Africa has deteriorated during the past fifteen years. There are many different reasons for that. The aim of this study was to develop a uniform programme of discipline which can be used for application in all ten schools in the Bitou area. To reach this aim, the following procedures were followed: • A study has been done regarding the supporting role of the Bitou 10 foundation in the designing and management of a uniform discipline program. • A summary of the disciplinary problems in government schools has been given with possible reasons why discipline has deteriorated. • A study has also been made of various programs of discipline which have been used in various countries in the past. Certain aspects of those programmes have been used in this study to compile an effective programme of discipline for all the schools in the Bitou area. • Criteria for a positive discipline program have been put together. This study has been done in the Plettenberg Bay area. This area has ten schools which include primary- and high schools, single medium- and double medium schools, multi-cultural and mono-cultural schools and also some schools which have hostels. This study showed that not all schools in the Bitou area follow the same disciplinary programme. This study also makes recommendations on the possible implementing of such a uniform system of discipline. This study does not only show what the role is of the principal and teachers responsible for discipline, but also indicates the role and task of the parents and the community. Research on the application of discipline can never end because new ideas and methods will always be found to create an ideal programme in order to make the process more effective.

Cette thèse s’intéresse au rôle et à la représentation des bijoux dans les textes narratifs français des trois dernières décennies du XIXe siècle. Non seulement ils abondent dans les œuvres en prose de l’époque, les pierres et métaux précieux en investissent à la fois l’intrigue, le lexique et la poétique. Qui plus est, ils constituent aussi des objets fortement connotés animant les récits de leurs propres significations esthétiques, sociales, économiques et politiques. Les études de texte ici présentées amènent par surcroît à constater qu’à travers les joyaux, des sujets ou des interrogations essentiels au discours du temps surgissent, se problématisent, s’amalgament et se métamorphosent. Suivant une approche sociocritique, qui conjugue l’analyse textuelle à l’examen de données socio-historiques, cette étude du bijou dans le roman fin-de-siècle démontre qu’en tant que signe polysémique, il cristallise les implications littéraires, esthétiques et sociales du texte et constitue un objet privilégié pour mettre en communication les auteurs avec leur société.
Plus précisément, le bijou dans la littérature fin-de-siècle condense des rapports de force de l’époque : emblème des séculaires lignées aristocratiques de jadis, il constitue dans un monde désormais bourgeois un objet qui se vend, se démocratise et se copie; signe de l’asservissement du corps féminin à une autorité masculine, il peut aussi devenir l’arme terrible d’héroïnes conquérantes et affranchies; matière prisée des rêveurs et des artisans, il permet au texte fin-de-siècle de se positionner par rapport à l’hégémonie zolienne et aux autres pratiques artistiques du temps. Chacune des trois grandes parties de la thèse (l’objet, le corps, la matière) explore l’une de ces luttes de pouvoir, et est divisée en deux chapitres présentant tour à tour des points de vue qui se complètent ou qui s’affrontent.
Cette thèse invite au final à isoler certains aspects de la gemme (la rareté, la dualité nature / culture, etc.) qui en font une métaphore de prédilection pour les auteurs de l’époque. Du nombre, sa résistance, toujours mise en tension avec l’inexorable travail de la durée, permet de mieux cerner l’esthétique fin-de-siècle et son rapport équivoque, conflictuel, au monde et au temps qui passe.<br>This thesis investigates the function and representation of jewels in French narratives from the last three decades of the nineteenth century. Not only is this prose rich in gems and precious metals; its plot, vocabulary, and aesthetic are endowed with these luxurious substances and with their properties. In addition jewels represent objects of strong connotations, and thus they charge the narratives with their own aesthetic, social, economical or political meanings. Above all, the analyses of texts presented here reveal that through jewels, interrogations that are central in the social discourse of the time are raised, problematized, intertwined or transfigured. In accordance with a sociocriticism that takes into consideration socio-historical issues in its approach to literary text this study of the jewel in the fin-de-siècle novel shows that, being strong and complex signs, jewels condense the literary, aesthetic and social implications of the text, and constitute privileged objects prone to mediate authors with their society.
More precisely, jewels in fin-de-siècle literature summarize tensions of the time: emblems of the secular aristocratic lineages of long ago, in a newly bourgeois world they are more accessible, common objects which can be sold and copied; albeit signs of the submission of the feminine body to a masculine authority they can also become a terrible weapon for freed and conquering female heroes; they embody a substance cherished by dreamers and craftsmen through which the fin-de-siècle text positions itself with regards to Zola’s hegemony and to other artistic practices of the time. Each of the three sections of the thesis (l’objet, le corps, la matière) explores one of these power struggles and is divided into two chapters presenting successively completing or competing points of view.
This thesis ultimately leads to the identification of various aspects (rarity, duality nature / culture, etc.) by which gems become a favourite metaphor for authors of the end of the nineteenth century. Among these attributes, precious stones’ resistance – always in tension with the inexorable work of duration – leads to a better comprehension of the fin-de-siècle aesthetic and its equivocal, conflicting relations with the world and with time as it flies by.

This treatise investigates the role of Community DevelopmentWorkers, with reference to the Bitou Municipality. The treatise comprises five chapters. The concept of Community Development Programme is fairly new in South Africa; therefore, further research is needed on the subject. A literature review was done to establish the concept and the background of the CDWP. A questionnaire was developed in order to obtain primary data from a selected sample group. The data obtained from the questionnaire was statistically analysed and interpreted. The core findings from the analysed questionnaire indicated the following: (a) CDWs clearly understand their role and responsibility, but there is a need for roles and functions to be clearly defined, with detailed terms of reference, to ensure a common understanding with other stakeholders, e.g. Ward Committees, Councillors, Non-governmental organisations, Communitybased organisations, and members of the community. (b) living conditions in the wards improved following the introduction of the CDWP. (c) there is a good relationship between CDWs, Ward Committees and Ward Councillors, but there is also a perception that Ward Committees and Community Development Workers constantly clash or compete in the wards in which they serve. (d) CDWs should not be affiliated to the ruling or any political party. (e) CDWs are confused regarding who is responsible for their remuneration (the Municipality or the Provincial Department of Local Government).

Full textAbstract:
La plupart des études portant sur le bijou au XIXe siècle privilégient l’aspect stylistique et formel. La question des usages est, quant à elle, le plus souvent éludée et les rares considérations d’ordre social ou sociétal, lorsqu’elles sont abordées, demeurent anecdotiques. Or, le bijou joue un rôle social déterminant, notamment dans l’expression de la fortune mais aussi dans le processus d’identification et d’appartenance à un groupe. À cet égard, les périodiques de mode constituent un support d’étude des plus précieux. Ils nous renseignent sur l’usage très codifié que les femmes appartenant à l’élite faisaient de leurs bijoux, et implicitement sur la place et le rôle qui étaient assignés à ces dernières dans la société du XIXe siècle. Le périodique de mode constitue par ailleurs une source très intéressante pour contextualiser la création du bijou, qui devient dès lors un miroir des événements. Le bijou apparaît comme le reflet d’influences diverses, à la fois du point de vue technique, du choix des matériaux employés, du style adopté, des formes ou encore par la symbolique des décors travaillés. Grâce aux descriptions de bijoux contenues dans les chroniques de mode ainsi qu’aux gravures qui les accompagnent, nous retracerons une histoire des formes en discriminant les grandes tendances récurrentes entre 1820 et 1870 avant d’aborder celles qui caractérisent une période en particulier. Nous exploiterons aussi les mentions publicitaires afin d’examiner les relations qu’entretiennent les différents acteurs participant à la fabrication et au commerce des bijoux avec les phénomènes de mode<br>Most studies regarding 19th-century jewellery favour the study of its stylistic and formal aspects. As for its uses, they are most often eluded and the rare social and societal considerations, when they are tackled, remain anecdotal. Yet, jewellery plays a determining social role, especially in the expression of wealth but also in the process of identification and of belonging to a group. For this, fashion periodicals constitute a most precious support for study. They tell us about the very codified use women from the elite made of their jewellery, and implicitly of the place and role that was assigned to them in 19th century society. The fashion periodical is also a very interesting source to contextualise the jewel creation, which thus becomes a mirror of events. Jewellery appears as a reflection of various influences, all at once from the technical point of view, the choice of materials, the chosen style, the form or the symbolism of the worked designs. Through the descriptions of jewellery contained in fashion chronicles and engravings that accompany them, we shall retrace a history of forms by categorising the great trends recurring between 1820 and 1870 before dealing with those characterising one particular era. We shall also use advertisement notices in order to examine the relationships linking the different actors that participate in the making and marketing of jewellery with the fashion phenomena

Cette recherche tente de développer une problématique autour d'un travail capable d'abolir les frontières entre l'ornement et l'art, résolument ancrée dans l'action de changer les mentalités, les acquis et les aprioris. Au-delà d'une analyse discursive, le bijou devient une méditation arborescente. Dans sa relation de réciprocité entre l'œuvre et la nature il interroge le mimétisme, greffe du vivant sur du vivant, métamorphose les corps, interprète les mythes, sollicite l'imagination et interpelle l'imaginaire. De ce face à face: nature/œuvre, née une interface capable d'anéantir les démarcations et d'ériger une dialectique identitaire et spatiale réversible entre deux mondes, entre deux espaces, entre deux peaux, entre objets et êtres. Ces signes visibles de l'apparence développent un rapport de surface/profondeur, où peuvent se jouer les ambivalences des relations inversées. Entre contenant/contenu, éphémère/durable, camouflage/ ostentation, voilé/dévoilé, une nouvelle esthétique du bijou se déploie et édifie ses fondations. Penser le bijou différemment, c'est réinventer son langage et sa finalité. Installations corporelles, oeuvres d'arbres ou bijoux contemporains, ils puisent leur essence dans l'intemporalité du message.

Parsons, Clare. "Sketching the 'Sôtêria Tou Biou' : Plato and the art of measurement." Thesis, Durham University, 2007. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/1320/.
Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I aim to demonstrate that measurement is an important and dynamic theme though which Plato explores the nature of arete in a range of dialogues covering the early, middle and later periods of his work. In chapters 1-3, I will explore the origin of this theme in the Protagoras' metretike techne' - an art which involves the maximisation of pleasure in our lives through measurement. I suggest that Socrates presents the metretike techne as a sketch of the type of wisdom which would be sufficient for arete and which, as such, has the potential to be 'the salvation of our lives'. 2 He shows how the metretike techne can bring determinacy and accuracy to the decisions we have to make about how we should live, because it is founded upon an objective and quantifiable standard for a good life. In addition, through its foundation on hedonism, it offers an account of our motivation to act consistently upon our knowledge of what is right to do. I will argue that, long after the Protagoras, Plato remains committed to the metretike techne. While often regarded as an ad hominem device or as tongue-in-cheek, the idea of a metretike techne is, in fact, hugely important in shaping Plato's account of arete. In chapters 4-6I will trace the refinement of this sketch of arete through the Gorgias and Republic. Driving the process of refinement for Plato is the challenge of combining the practical strengths which he remains convinced that a metretike techne offers with his emerging account of a good and truly pleasant life as dependent upon order kosmos in the individual soul and in the state. From this process of refinement, as I will discuss in the final chapter, the basilikb techne, 3 the statesman's art, emerges in the Statesman as the basis of arete in the state. The basilike technd entails measurement of order in the state against the standard of 'due measure' to metrion . This art retains the key strengths of the original metretike techne, whilst responding to its weaknesses. So, in completing the portrait of the statesman, Socrates also completes a sketch of arete as measurement which he began in the Protagoras.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores issues of educational provision for people regarded by some as stateless, specifically the Bidoun in Kuwait, and how the Kuwaiti Government and others view this. The main research question is what can be learned from the situation in Kuwait about the interpretation of Human Rights Conventions regarding the provision of education for the children of Bidoun (stateless people)? The principal research methods applied in this study are a comprehensive literature review on statelessness and related issues and interviews with informed personnel in Kuwait. The findings are divided into two parts: the first illustrates a lack of knowledge among Kuwaiti officials concerning the International Conventions on rights for free education for every child. It considers how this lack of knowledge is intertwined with support for the primacy of domestic law and for the Government's educational policies in respect to the Bidoun, even when these violated these Conventions. Activists demonstrate more knowledge about these conventions and promote a policy of tolerance in respect to educating this group, specifically in state schools. The second part focuses on lessons for Kuwait from similar situations in comparable countries. Economic concerns lie behind marginalising this group since granting them citizenship would increase financial costs, especially in a Rentier state like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia or the UAE. Xenophobia may belie the unwillingness to grant stateless people citizenship, especially if they originate from a minority religious denomination or a hostile country.

Full textAbstract:
Des bidons en aluminium sans soudure sont utilises pour conditionner des produits chimiques et pharmaceutiques. Un nouveau concept d'emballage reutilisable (emballage-navette), necessite l'emploi de materiaux plus resistants face a la corrosion et aux sollicitations mecaniques. L'acier inoxydable semble remplir ces conditions. Le projet a pour but de determiner la gamme de fabrication d'un bidon monobloc en acier inoxydable. La premiere approche a consiste a definir les procedes successifs a employer: l'emboutissage pour former le corps du bidon, l'etirage pour en allonger la partie inferieure, le repoussage pour realiser un goulot dans la partie superieure. L'etude porte alors sur des aspects mecaniques, tribologiques et metallurgiques des procedes retenus. Elle comporte: - une caracterisation des materiaux par essais de traction et des tests de frottement plan/plan en regime quasi-hydrodynamique. - des essais d'emboutissage sur presse instrumentee permettant d'evaluer la formabilite de plusieurs nuances a travers la mesure des efforts. - des essais d'etirage associes a des modelisations analytiques et numeriques. On determine des efforts de formage et un taux de reduction d'epaisseur adapte. On etudie l'ecrasement elastique des outils rendu important par les fortes contraintes engagees, ainsi que l'influence de plusieurs parametres. - des essais de repoussage sur tour industriel instrumente. Ils permettent une meilleure connaissance du procede a travers la mesure des deformations et l'enregistrement des efforts et de la temperature. Les traitements thermiques a appliquer sont determines ainsi que l'ensemble des conditions de mise en uvre. Une fois la gamme de fabrication mise au point, la face interieure du bidon en acier inoxydable revele une rugosite superieure a l'aluminium, mais l'endommagement de la surface libre dans la zone repoussee (detachement de particules metalliques) a disparu.

Si le bijou du dix-neuvième siècle abonde dans de nombreux ouvrages, il faut repenser son intrigue, son lexique et sa poétique. Dans une optique ontologique et grâce à un échange pluridisciplinaire permettant ainsi une ouverture à des processus de partages méthodologiques, cette thèse montre combien le bijou du dix-neuvième siècle est fortement connoté et possède une signification esthétique, sociale, géographique, politique et culturelle qui lui est propre. Cette étude prouve que le bijou tant en signe polysémique qu’en tant qu’ontologie cristallise les inquiétudes et les bouleversements relatifs à son siècle. Il permet de cerner une esthétique, un rapport au monde, au temps qui passe. Il est une clé, une façon d’être au monde, un pôle de compréhension. Il y a donc une interaction créatrice entre l’homme et sa parure. L’homme crée le bijou et le bijou crée l’homme en retour. Grâce à la mise en place d’une approche inédite et originale proposant de voir la bijouterie du dix-neuvième siècle comme une ontologie, le bijou est alors pensé comme un élément à part entière pour comprendre l’homme. Les bijoux ne sont pas là par hasard, ils véhiculent des sens cachés, des codes. Ils sont les référents immuables que cette étude se propose de nous faire découvrir<br>If the jewel of the nineteenth century abounds in many works, we must rethink its plot, its lexicon and its poetics. From an ontological perspective and thanks to a multidisciplinary exchange thus allowing an opening to processes of methodological sharing, this thesis shows how much the jewel of the nineteenth century is strongly connoted and possesses an aesthetic, social, geographical, political and cultural significance of its own. This study proves that jewellery, both as a polysemic sign and as ontology, crystallizes the anxieties and upheavals relating to its century. It makes it possible to define an aesthetic, a relationship to the world, to the passing of time. It is a key, a way of being in the world, a pole of understanding. So there is a creative interaction between man and his finery. Man creates the jewel and the jewel creates man in return. Thanks to the implementation of a new and original approach proposing to see the jewellery of the nineteenth century as an ontology, the jewel is then thought as a whole element to understand the man. Jewels are not there by chance, they convey hidden meanings, codes. They are the unchanging referent that this study proposes to make us discover

Cette thèse de doctorat analyse les interprétations de la pensée antique que Michel Foucault a développées entre la fin des années soixante-dix et le début des années quatre-vingts. Le but de cette analyse est de rapprocher certains thèmes saillants de l'analyse de Foucault des pratiques et des textes classiques de sa conception du travail philosophique comme critique et comme diagnostic critique de l'actualité. Ce travail s'efforce de proposer quelques hypothèses qui connectent l'idée de la philosophie comme diagnostic critique de l'actualité avec le concept gréco-romain d'"askesis", au sens de travail de transformation de soi-même, et avec le concept de "parrhêsia", au sens de pratique de parole à la fois porteuse de risque et de vérité<br>The present thesis is an attempt to the analysis of the ancient thought interpretations developed by Michel Foucault between the end of the Seventies and the beginning of the Eighties. The aim of this study is relating some main topics of the practices and ancient texts analysis by Foucault with the idea of criticism as well as the idea of philosophy as "critical diagnosis of the actuality", which he develops in his last works. In fact in the following chapters I intend to propose some hypotheses about how to link the idea of philosophy as critical diagnosis of the actuality with the greek and roman idea of "askesis" -- the oneself transformation process -- and with the idea of "parrhesia" -- the dangerous speech activity of truth-telling

Par un corpus de bijoux allant des années 1960 à nos jours examiné selon la méthode de la théorie de la médiation, la thèse se fixe un triple objectif. Le premier ambitionne de construire une anthropologie de l’ornement par le détour de la sociologie et l’exploitation du modèle instituant/institué (première partie) qui permet de faire émerger la nature expérimentale de ces ouvrages, ainsi que leur prise de distance avec l’investiture de la personne. Le deuxième objectif vise à analyser ce matériel très spécifique selon le modèle fabriquant/fabriqué, afin de décomposer la nature des expérimentations difficiles à étudier dans un cadre traditionnel. Le troisième objectif s’attache à manifester l’unité de la recherche par la mise en lumière d’une similitude de mécanismes avec les arts contemporains (vêtement, mobilier, art), faisant état d’une communauté de projet et d’un phénomène généralisé (deuxième et troisième parties). Ce bijou importable socialement développe une invraisemblable technique, ceci en accord avec l’incommensurable de l’art contemporain<br>Using a corpus of jewelry from the 1960’s to nowadays, analysed through the Theory of Mediation method, the thesis has three objectives. The first one aims at building an anthropology of jewelery through the detour of sociology, using the Instituant/Institué model (first part), which helps understanding the experimental nature of these ornaments, far away from the traditional investiture of the person. The second objective is to analyse these very specific jewels using the Fabriquant/Fabriqué model (second and third parts), as studying how the nature of these experiments is broken down is indeed too difficult to do in a traditional manner. The third objective is to show the unity of the research by highlighting a similarity with the mechanisms of contemporary arts (clothing, design, furniture, art), indicating a community of projects and therefore a global and widespread phenomenon (second and third parts). These socially unwearable jewels develop unlikely techniques, in line with the unlimited world of contemporary art

Full textAbstract:
Dans le cadre de ce doctorat sur la représentation des bijoux féminins dans les portraits de l’Égypte romaine, les recherches se concentraient sur les « portraits du Fayoum » et masques funéraires des trois premiers siècles après J.-C.Bien que les masques funéraires et les portraits du Fayoum aient été le sujet de plusieurs publications pendant ces dernières années, il nous manquait encore une étude détaillée sur les bijoux féminins qui s’inspiraient presque exclusivement de la mode romaine. Une classification chronologique de ces portraits, mais aussi des masques funéraires, pouvait être obtenue par les coiffures féminines. Par conséquence, la distinction des portraits par époque nous permettait d’identifier les changements dans la mode des bijoux pendant les trois premiers siècles après J.-C., en donnant aux archéologues la possibilité de classifier encore mieux certains types de bijoux qui sont découverts pendant des fouilles ou sur le marché de l’art. Dans le cadre ce cette étude, les diverses représentations de bijoux, en provenance d’autres provinces romaines mais aussi des originaux, appartenant à des trésors et à des tombes datés étaient également consultés. L’application de nos résultats à d’autres contextes géographiques est toujours légitime, car les mêmes principaux types de bijoux étaient utilisés dans tout l’empire romain.Grâce à toutes ces données, il était possible de reconstruire les différents aspects de la mode des bijoux pour les différentes dynasties impériales pendant les trois premiers siècles après J.-C<br>This particular PhD research project focuses on the representation of jewellery on “Fayum portraits” and mummy masks from Roman Egypt. Even though Roman mummy masks and the so called “Fayum portraits” have been the subject of numerous research in recent years, a detailed study on the individuals’ jewellery is still missing up to this date. This is particularly regrettable because females on these portraits are almost exclusively wearing Roman-type jewellery. A chronological order that includes a precise dating must be obtained by the female hairstyles that have been influenced by Roman fashion dispersed in the Roman Empire through representations in form of busts, coins and paintings of the Empresses and members of the imperial families. Consequently, this chronological order allows us to identify the various changes in the jewellery fashion throughout the imperial dynasties of the first three centuries A.D. A goal of the chronological classification of jewellery in the art of Roman Egypt is to help future researchers to date jewellery more precisely, in particular – which is quite common for jewellery - when their provenance is unknown or imprecise. The results will be complemented by representations of jewellery in art from other regions of the Empire but also by actual dated finds. Finally, all these factors will help to obtain a better understanding of Roman jewellery fashion, its distribution and even more which types were “à la mode” at what particular time

Thesis (M.M. (Security))--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, Graduate School of Public and Development Management, 2013.<br>Soon after the ANC acquired the leadership of this country there has been a series of service delivery protests in most of the municipalities. Several studies have sought to explain the causes of these protests and many have come to the conclusion that they are caused by the slow pace of delivering houses, electricity water and sanitation to the local communities. Most of the existing work has discussed the problem from the point of view of politicians and members of the community. To date, no research has elected to focus on the view of the employees of the municipalities to which the grievances are mostly directed. Using a qualitative research that surveyed municipal managers, ordinary employees as well as community members in Bitou Municipality, this study argues that poor governance, structural reasons, social reasons, systematic reasons are some of the causes of service delivery protests in the municipalities. The research has also uncovered a litany of reasons that contribute to service delivery protests and government practice which fuel support or hinder service delivery.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣海洋大學<br>海洋環境資訊系<br>106<br>Bitou Cape is a famous scenic spot in the Northeast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area of Taiwan. The sea surface around Bitou Cape occasionally shows smooth surface and rough surface, so that this special natural landscape always catches visitors' attention. The purpose of this study is to explore the causes of the sea surface roughness changes. The images of sea surface around Bitou Cape are taken by a digital camera. The sea state is also analyzed with the data from the Longdong Tidal station, Londong Buoy, and Bitoujiao weather station of the Central Weather Bureau to investigate the relationship between tide or wind and the sea surface roughness. According to two digital images with the same wind direction and the same sea surface roughness, one image with small wind is rougher than another image with big wind, and more white foam appears in the image with small wind. Thus, the rough sea surface around Bitou Cape is probably not caused by wind driving. Comparing digital images and the data of tidal height, it is found that tidal fluctuations coincide with the changes of sea surface roughness. When the difference of hourly value of tidal height increases, the sea surface roughness in the photograph is more obvious until the slack tide appears. The locations of smooth and rough sea surface are different which are caused by the tidal current. Therefore, the tidal current could be the main factor to affect the change of sea surface roughness around Bitou Cap sea area.

Full textAbstract:
In the prelude to and aftermath of the plebiscite on 30 August 1999, in which 78.5% of
East Timorese voters rejected autonomy within Indonesia and chose independence for
their country, violent conflict raged throughout the country. This thesis concerns Bidau,
which is an urban village located in Dili, the capital of East Timor. My central argument
is that Bidau residents have been agents in their own recovery following the destruction
of 1999. I stress that in seeking to understand what will assist with post-conflict
recovery, we need to pay more attention to the social worlds of people affected by
violence, rather than applying an individual trauma model. Accordingly, I investigate
the various forms of suffering that residents experienced, including the fears of further
violence, the different sicknesses, the grieving for deceased relatives and friends, the
economic struggles, and the disruptions to life cycle rituals in Bidau. These diverse
forms of suffering and their impacts became evident to me over twenty-six months of
fieldwork in the period from 4 November 2000 to October 2003.
In describing the diversity of the people who reside in the village, I distinguish
three categories of residents – Portuguese Period Settlers, Indonesian Period Settlers and
Post-ballot Residents – and also distinguish people from the Makassae ethnolinguistic
group, who make up a quarter of the population, and span the three periods of
settlement, arriving in Bidau from 1973 onwards. I explore the connections that enabled
Bidau individuals and groups to find places of safety during the most violent months of
1999 and show how people who returned or moved to Bidau once order was restored
relied on kin networks and other social affiliations to rebuild their lives. I argue that
embeddedness in groups and guarantees of social support that Timorese customs offer
facilitate and promote healing, as do some religious beliefs and practices. Participation in significant rituals, especially wedding and mortuary rites is central
to the lives of Bidau residents and entails reciprocal obligations, especially between
wife-givers and wife-takers. In my analysis of a delayed wedding and various mortuary
rituals, I show the ability and determination of East Timorese to organise such rituals
despite all they have suffered. These rituals expand social networks of support and have
the potential to make and strengthen alliances. An exegesis of a lamentation performed
for a recently deceased grandmother shows the complexities of the social and material
obligations that East Timorese custom requires.
By examining rituals in three settings – public space, the private space inside
houses, and the intermediate space of verandas and gardens – I show the significance of
the spatial dimensions of rituals and other practices and how these are closely related to
the social processes of the household and the architectural space of the house. The
reconstruction of the physical environment, especially repairs to residents’ private
homes, was a critical part of the processes of recovery, as houses were needed not just
for shelter, but also because they helped define ritual spaces and enabled householders
to define permeable borders. Bidau residents, through their participation in rituals and
other activities in shifting social spaces, created and recreated their dynamic and
supportive social order.

In recent years, Yilan County's hot spring-themed travel itinerary has been well received by local tourists. Facing the opening of Suhua Improvement Engineering, it is expected to bring a huge crowd of tourists to Nanao Township. How to deal with it early has become one of the important issues. However, at present, there are few studies on the research on hot spring tourism in Nanao Township; therefore, how to improve the factors of ecotourism and develop the recreation benefits is the purpose of this study. The framework of this research is based on ecotourism and recreation benefits to design the questionnaires for in-depth interviews. Then, we apply NVivo coding and verbatim analysis to generate propositions from the interview manuscripts. The results show that the top five codes with the highest frequencies and coverage are: 1. Atayal culture 2. Natural environment characteristics 3. Enhance industrial development 4. Combine community and village 5. Hunting rattan archery weaving culture experience, therefore, the proposition 1 to the proposition 5 are sequentially derived. In addition, the proposition 6 is derived from the analysis of the nodes of ecotourism. The development of Bihou Hot Spring will not only become the marketing highlight of Nanao Township, but also promote economic development to enhance the competitiveness of the local Atayal people. Through the results of this study, it can be used as a reference direction for the public sector, the Bihou Hot Spa industry and future researchers.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣海洋大學<br>海洋環境與生態研究所<br>106<br>Sexual reproduction is among the most important biological phenomenon required for
establishing coral populations. To date, most studies regarding coral sexual
reproduction have focused on the environmental factors affecting coral gametogenesis
and spawning. However, little studies have been performed on the intrinsic
mechanisms underlying coral sexual reproduction. Sex steroids in vertebrates play
fundamental roles in gametogenesis and spawning. Previous studies found that stony
coral tissues contain sex steroids (e.g., 17beta-estradiol, testosterone). Interestingly,
the concentration of 17beta-estradiol in the coral tissue elevated when the coral
approached to the spawning month in the stony coral Euphyllia ancora. These
findings suggest that sex steroids may be involved in the regulation of gametogenesis,
oocyte maturation, and/or spawning in corals. However, the elevation in the
concentration of 17beta-estradiol has only reported in E. ancora, it is still unclear that
similar patterns can be observed in other corals. To get a better understanding of the
function of steroids in the sexual reproduction, especially in germ cell development,
of the stony corals, the present study investigated the relationship between
gametogenesis and sex steroids using a stony coral Goniopora burgosi. G. burgosi
colonies were collected at Pitouchiao near northern Taiwan at different timings over
the periods during October 2016-December 2017. The germ cell development was
investigated by immunohistochemical analysis with anti-Piwi (germ-cell marker)
antibody. The sex steroids (17beta-estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone) in the
tissue extract of G. burgosi were determined by UPLC-MS. We found that the germ
development took approximately one year in both sexes. It started from August and
proceeds until the next spawning periods, July or August. UPLC-MS analysis
confirmed the presence of progesterone and testosterone in the most coral tissue that
we examined. However, the concentration of these steroids in the coral tissues were
basically very low throughout the year, and the distinct elevation in the levels of these
steroids were not observed even in the corals that approached to the spawning month.
Further studies were required to clarify the function of steroids in in germ cell
development of the stony corals.

碩士<br>台北海洋科技大學<br>海空物流與行銷系<br>107<br>This study is focusing on scuba diving activities in the area of Bitou Cape, and explores the correlation and influence between motivation and leisure benefit. This study adopts descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, T-test, single-factor variation analysis, Pearson product-related correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression analysis to recover 150 valid questionnaires. This study finds：
1. There were significant differences in participation motivation among different genders, marital status, educational level, submersible object and cumulative gas cylinder spree in the area of scuba diving in Bitou Cape.
2. There were significant differences in leisure benefits among the different genders, marital status, education level, submersible object and accumulated gas cylinders involved in scuba diving activities in Bitou Cape.
3. The research hypothesis that divers' motivation to participate has positive effect on leisure benefits is partially established.
4. The healthy fitness of participation motivation in scuba diving activities in Bitou Cape has positive effects on the physiological, psychological and social benefits of leisure benefits, but is not correlated with self-realization.
