Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação apresenta uma reflexão sobre a participação política dos jovens estudantes do ensino médio e profissionalizante da rede pública estadual, considerando que, dentre as finalidades previstas nas diretrizes curriculares do Conselho Nacional de Educação, para esta etapa do ensino básico, constam a formação do aluno como pessoa humana, o desenvolvimento da autonomia intelectual e pensamento crítico, além da preparação para o trabalho e cidadania. Objetivamos investigar a participação política desses jovens e, em que medida esta participação pode contribuir para solução dos problemas vivenciados no ambiente escolar, bem como, oferecer melhorias na qualidade do processo educacional. Este estudo está relacionado à busca de elementos e estratégias que contribuam para o maior interesse dos jovens com o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, bem como a sua formação política para lidar com os problemas do ambiente escolar, sejam estes de caráter pedagógico ou de gestão. Estabelecemos como campo de pesquisa o CEEP Prof.ª Maria do Rosário Castaldi, situado na cidade de Londrina e, consequentemente como sujeitos, os alunos (as) matriculados(as) nos últimos períodos dos cursos do ensino médio normal, eletrotécnica, mecatrônica e administração. A opção metodológica tem dimensão qualitativa, que possibilita a percepção da complexidade das interações sociais que vive o jovem estudante, suas formas de intervenção social e concepções acerca da dinâmica de funcionamento do ambiente escolar. Buscamos o aporte teórico da Sociologia, Serviço Social e Pedagogia, para identificar a pertinência das categorias de análise da pesquisa. Durante os meses de abril a setembro de 2014, e julho de 2015, foram feitas observações em sala de aula, das disciplinas de sociologia, bem como de reuniões e eventos promovidos pela escola, além da realização de uma oficina temática e aplicação de dois questionários aos estudantes, professores e coordenadores. De posse da análise dos dados, concluímos que os jovens estudantes necessitam de estímulos e atitudes motivacionais por parte dos educadores, no sentido de lhes oportunizar a participação política, organizada, crítica e coletiva para que possam contribuir com a busca de soluções para os problemas do ambiente escolar e do processo de construção do conhecimento.<br>This paper presents a reflection on the political participation of young students from public schools of secondary-school and professional education, considering that among the purposes in the curriculum guidelines of the National Council of Education, for this stage of basic education, included student education as a human person, the development of intellectual autonomy and critical thinking, as well as preparation for work and citizenship. We aimed to investigate the political participation of these young people, and to what extent this participation can contribute to solving the problems experienced in the school environment as well, offering improvements in the quality of the educational process. This study is related with search elements and strategies that contribute to the greater interest of young people with the process of teaching and learning, as well as their political training to deal with the school environment problems, be they pedagogical or management. Established as a research field CEEP Professor Maria do Rosario Castaldi, located in Londrina and therefore as subjects, students enrolled in the last periods of the normal high school courses, electrical engineering, mechatronics and administration. The methodological option has qualitative dimension, which enables the perception of the complexity of social interactions experienced by the young student, their forms of social intervention and conceptions of the working dynamics of the school environment. We seek the theoretical contribution of Sociology, Social Work and Education, to identify the relevance of the analysis categories of the survey. During the months of April to September 2014 and July 2015, observations were made in the classroom during sociology classes, as well as meetings and events organized by the school, in addition to holding a thematic workshop and application of two questionnaires students, teachers and coordinators. Armed with the data analysis, we concluded that young students need stimulus and motivational attitudes of educators towards them create opportunities for political participation, organized, critical and collective so that they can contribute to finding solutions to the problems of education and knowledge building process environment.

Bancroft, James M. "Chromosome congression by CENP-E and CENP-Q dependent pathways." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2013. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/62106/.
Full textAbstract:
The timely and efficient movement of chromosomes to the spindle equator during mitosis is a prerequisite for accurate chromosome segregation. Recent work has shown that the majority of chromosomes are able to congress and biorientate almost instantaneously after nuclear envelope breakdown due to their position relative to the forming spindle. However, other mechanisms are required to facilitate the congression of chromosomes, which do not congress in this initial wave. Congression of these remaining chromosomes is mediated by multiple mechanisms including: (1) Kinetochore sliding along the microtubule lattice using the Kinesin-7 CENP-E, and (2) kinetochores biorientating near the pole and congressing through microtubule depolymerisation-coupled movement. Here, we show that the constitutive centromere associated network (CCAN) subunit CENP-Q is required for both mechanisms. CENP-Q is required to recruit CENP-E to kinetochores thus explaining the absence of lateral sliding in CENP-Q depleted cells. Because depletion or inhibition of the CENP-E motor does not affect depolymerisation-coupled pulling, we identify a CENP-E recruitment-independent role for CENP-Q in chromosome congression. Following congression we find that biorientated kinetochore movements require both CENP-Q and CENP-E dependent mechanisms. This suggests that as biorientated kinetochores congress they switch into a mode that requires CENP-E motor activity.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to study the coding of wideband speech and to improve on previous Code-Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) coders in terms of speech quality and bit rate. To accomplish this task, improved coding techniques are introduced and the operating bit rate is reduced while maintaining and even enhancing the speech quality.<br>the first approach considers the quantization of Liner Predictive Coding (LPC) parameters and uses a three way split vector quantization. Both scalar and vector quantization are initially studied; results show that, with adequate codebook training, the second method generates better results while using a fewer number of bits. Nevertheless, the use of vector quantizers remain highly complex in terms of memory and number of computations. A new quantization scheme, split vector quantization (split VQ), is investigated to overcome this complexity problem. Using a new weighted distance measure as a selection criterion for split VQ, the average spectral distortion is significantly reduced to match the results obtained with scalar quantizers.<br>The second approach introduces a new pitch predictor with an increased temporal resolution for periodicity. This new technique has the advantage of maintaining the same quality obtained with conventional multiple coefficient predictors at a reduced bit rate. Furthermore, the conventional CELP noise weighting filter is modified to allow more freedom and better accuracy in the modeling of both tilt and formant structures. Throughout this process, different noise weighting schemes are evaluated and the results show that the new filter greatly contributes in solving the problem of high frequency distortion.<br>The final wideband CELP coder is operational at 11.7 kbits/s and generates a high perceptual quality of the reconstructed speech using the fractional pitch predictor and the new perceptual noise weighting filter.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la conversion de format en codage de la parole (CELP), ou transcodage. La solution classique de conversion de format, appelée tandem, nécessite la mise en cascade d'une opération de décodage et d'une opération de re-codage. Cette approche par défaut utilisée aujourd'hui dans les réseaux de communications présente des inconvénients en terme de complexité, de délai et de qualité. Pour pallier ces problèmes, l'idée de transcodages dits « intelligents » a été étudiée. En s'appuyant sur les caractéristiques du modèle commun utilisé par les codeurs CELP, la conversion de format peut être rendue plus efficace. Les codeurs CELP extraient du signal puis quantifient et transmettent quatre jeux de paramètres: les coefficients LPC, l'excitation adaptative, l'excitation fixe et les gains associés. Dans cette thèse, on se propose de développer pour ces paramètres des techniques efficaces de conversion entre les principaux codeurs CELP utilisés aujourd'hui

Full textAbstract:
Dans son cycle de vie, le produit automobile sur les trois grands marches (États-Unis, Europe de l'ouest, Japon ) a atteint la phase de maturité, ce qui conjugue à l'offensive commerciale et industrielle des constructeurs automobiles japonais sur ces mêmes marchés, a provoqué un fort renforcement de l'intensité concurrentielle. Opérant dans un oligopole en guerre, les acteurs ont alors favorise l'émergence d'un néo-protectionnisme, dont une des formes est représentée par des accords de restriction volontaire des exportations, tels que l'accord automobile CEE-Japon. Les négociations menées durant plus d'une année entre me MITI et la CEE, ont abouti le 31 juillet 1991 à la signature de cet accord, dont le principal objectif est que la pénétration des automobiles japonaises dans la CEE, soit réalisée progressivement d'ici à la fin de la décennie. Cet accord qui ne repose sur aucun support juridique officiel, à l'exception d'une vague notification au GATT, s'est en fait révélé davantage un accord de compromis entre les différents états membres de la CEE, plutôt qu'un accord entre la CEE et le Japon. Finalement, en raison de la pauvreté du champ de la réflexion et plus encore de l'absence de définition du produit de référence dans sa dimension transplant, les constructeurs automobiles japonais pourront aisément contourner l'accord ou encore être prêts pour une offensive massive à la fin de la période de transition tout en continuant à protéger leur marché national. Globalement, l'accord impliquera une aggravation de la crise de surcapacité et un renforcement de la guerre des prix, avec pour corollaire la remise en cause de la survie de certains des constructeurs automobiles européens en tant qu'entités juridiques distinctes. De plus, il implique des partages de marches contraires à l'esprit du GATT et au traité de Maastricht<br>In its life cycle, the automobile product on the three major markets (USA, West Europe, Japan) has reached its maturity phase. This fact, linked with both a commercial and an industrial offensive of Japanese car makers on the same markets, has generated a strong thigthening of competitive intensity. Competing in a war state oligopoly, players then favored the emergence of neo-protectionism sampled by volontary restrictions on exports, as witnessed by the EEC-Japan automobile agreement. Negociations between the miti and EEC lasted for more than one year and ended on july 31, 1991 with the signature of the agreement whose main objective is to organize a progressive entry of Japanese cars into the EEC until the end of the century. This agreement, built on no official legal material, except for a memorandum to the GATT, proved itself rather as a compromise between EEC members than between Europe and Japan. Finally, due to a poor thinking process and rather more due to a lack of definition of the reference product in its transplant acceptation, the Japanese car makers will be in a position to easily go around the agreement and to be ready for a massive offensive by the end of the transition period, while still preserving their national market. As a whole, the agreement will imply a worsening of the overcapacity crisis and a strengthening of the price war, wich raises the question of the survival of some European car makers as independant legal entities. Furthermore, the agreement implies a sharing of the markets in opposition with the GATT spirit and the maastricht treaty

Full textAbstract:
L'origine de l'article 90 (cee/ce) reside dans la volonte des redacteurs du traite cee de controler certains aspects de l'intervention des etats membres dans l'economie. Sur ce point, il faut souligner que, meme si l'article 90 (cee/ce) a ete elabore pour prendre en compte la notion de service public, son objectif ne reside pas, uniquement, dans ce concept en tant que tel. Cette disposition possede en fait un double role. D'une part elle doit servir l'integration en veillant a ce que constitution d'un marche commun veritable. D'autre part, elle doit permettre la prise en compte de certains aspects sociaux a travers de nouveaux concepts comme la regulation. Ces deux fonctions pourraient faire l'objet de dispositions separees. L'interet de l'article 90 (cee/ce) consiste a les lier l'une a l'autre pour realiser une communaute europeenne non seulement integree mais aussi encadree juridiquement. En quelque sorte, l'espace communautaire, une fois mis en oeuvre, ne doit pas devenir une zone de non droit. En cela, l'article 90 (cee/ce) constitue un excellent outil de conciliation entre l'approfondissement de l'integration communautaire, dont il represente un instrument dynamique et la regulation de cette integration, dont il se revele une base juridique adequate<br>The roots of article 90 (eec/ec) have to be found in the intention of the writers of the eec treaty to control some aspects of the member states economic intervention. That interventionism may be justified by needs of " service public ". However, article 90 (eec/ec) does not only deal with that principle. Actually, the goals of article 90 (eec/ec) are twofold. First of all, it has been established to -ensure the community infftgratinn in that sftrirr public interventions shall neither be used to prevent the achievement of the common market. Secondly, it can promote new principles such as" regulation ". Those two functions could be prescribed in two separate provisions. Therefore, article 90 (eec/ec) is interesting in that it deals with the relationship between those two aims. Consequently, the ec has a legal framework to become a free integrated market. Article 90 (eec/ec) is the tool to conciliate the building of a deeper and deeper ec integration and the" regulation " of that integration

Full textAbstract:
A throw-trap survey of the nearshore flora and fauna of Biscayne Bay, Florida, USA, was conducted in the shallow open-water area along the western shoreline of South Biscayne Bay (Matheson Hammock to Turkey Point) in 2005, in order to gain an understanding of fish and invertebrate species structure and assemblages of this habitat. The rainwater killifish (Lucania parva), was the most abundant species in our samples and was examined in relation to biotic and abiotic factors that might influence the distribution of this species. Individual fish were counted, weighed, and measured, while salinity, temperature, and depth were recorded at the site, and the benthic habitat was quantified on site using the Braun-Blanquet method. This survey yielded 1,990 individuals over the course of two sampling seasons that were designated as wet (August) and dry (February) seasons. Forty-seven sites were sampled each season. A length-weight relationship was generated, and density, biomass, and other abundance indices were generated. The density of L. parva at our sites was much higher than other reported densities for this species, and there was a clear seasonal trend in the abundance of rainwater killifish, with twice as many individuals in the wet season. The proportion of juveniles in the samples suggested that reproduction occurred at least twice a year, prior to both sampling periods. Salinity and density of L. parva varied inversely. Using a model developed by Diego Lirman (2007), segments of the mainland shoreline were identified as clusters having similar salinity regimes. Density and size composition varied significantly between salinity clusters. More juveniles were observed in the wet season and in cluster 2, defined by its moderate salinity and relatively low salinity variability. Significantly fewer killifish were observed within cluster 3, a cluster characterized by a high amount of canal discharge and salinity variability. Canopy height of the seagrass was the most significant factor affecting the abundance of L. parva. Coverage of Thalassia testudinum and mixed algae also appeared to play a role in the abundance of this species. Together, canopy height and salinity formed the strongest relationship with L. parva abundance. Results suggest that salinity and certain habitat variables may be accurate predictors of the abundance and distribution of this species along the mainland shoreline of Biscayne Bay. There are a number or regulations already in place that protect the mangrove habitat in which L. parva resides. Fewer regulations address critical seagrass habitats. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan aims to correct decades of destructive modifications to the hydrology of South Florida by creating a more natural sheetflow and minimizing point source freshwater discharge into Biscayne Bay. These alterations are likely to have consequences for the flora and fauna of the Bay, but will ultimately have a positive impact on many species that reside in Biscayne Bay, including the rainwater killifish.

Full textAbstract:
AH Cep and CW Cep are both early B-type binaries with short orbital periods of 1.8 days and 2.7 days, respectively. All four components are B0.5V types. The binaries are also double-lined spectroscopic and eclipsing. Consequently, solutions for orbital and stellar parameters make the pair of binaries ideal targets for a study of the colliding winds between two B stars. Chandra ACIS-I observations were obtained to determine X-ray luminosities. AH Cep was detected with an unabsorbed X-ray luminosity at a 90% confidence interval of erg s−1, or , relative to the combined Bolometric luminosities of the two components. While formally consistent with expectations for embedded wind shocks, or binary wind collision, the near-twin system of CW Cep was a surprising nondetection. For CW Cep, an upper limit was determined with , again for the combined components. One difference between these two systems is that AH Cep is part of a multiple system. The X-rays from AH Cep may not arise from standard wind shocks nor wind collision, but perhaps instead from magnetism in any one of the four components of the system. The possibility could be tested by searching for cyclic X-ray variability in AH Cep on the short orbital period of the inner B stars.

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação estuda o processo de desmonte pelo qual passaram os núcleos residenciais construídos pela Companhia Energética de São Paulo (CESP), através da análise dos casos de Barra Bonita, Bariri e Porto Primavera. Por desmonte, entende-se o desmanche do sistema de gestão do trabalho baseado no modelo que vincula a empresa e as moradias presentes nestes locais. Através desta análise verificou-se que esse processo se deu sob diferentes formas. Em alguns casos ocorreu a alienação e venda a empreendimentos de lazer e turismo; em outros, a cessão das casas à Fundação CESP, para conversão dos espaços em colônias de férias de seus funcionários. Houve ainda a conversão do núcleo em bairros ou mesmo cidades e, em casos mais extremos, a demolição total das habitações. O objetivo principal desta dissertação foi investigar e analisar a configuração espacial dos núcleos residenciais criados pela CESP, bem como as justificativas e características do processo de desmonte desses espaços, estudando e comparando a trajetória dos três antigos núcleos escolhidos como estudos de caso. A confecção da dissertação baseou-se em pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o tema abordado, em levantamentos e sistematização de informações obtidas, através de pesquisas, em documentos de arquivos históricos das empresas do setor elétrico de São Paulo, em arquivos das usinas e dos municípios selecionados e em visitas aos núcleos desativados para coleta de material iconográfico e entrevistas. Verificou-se, através da pesquisa, a adoção de um processo singular de desmonte em grande parte dos núcleos residenciais analisados, nos quais o rearranjo espacial sofrido com a mudança de uso correspondeu à coincidência de intenção da CESP, em se desfazer desses espaços e, de empresas e entidades ligadas ao lazer e turismo, em adquiri-los e convertê-los.<br>The present dissertation studies the dismount of workers housing from Companhia Energética de São Paulo (CESP) through the analysis of the cases of Barra Bonita, Bariri and Porto Primavera. By dismount is understood the modification of the work management system, which was based on a model where companies and workers housing used to belong to the same system. One of the issues noticed through this investigation was that this process happened in different ways. In some cases, they were alienated and sold to leisure and tourism enterprises; in others, they were yielded to Fundação CESP, in order to be converted into lodges for its workers. There were some where the houses were converted into neighborhoods or cities and, in the most extreme cases, the houses were demolished. The main goal of this research is to investigate and analyze the spatial configuration of the workers housing from CESP as well as the justifications and characteristics of the process of dismount that had occurred in this places, studying and comparing the different destinations from the three cases chosen for a deeper examination. The whole work was based on a bibliographic research about the subject; on systematizations and surveys of information acquired from documents in historical archives to the electrical companies of São Paulo, on records from the hydroelectric factories and cities selected to be analyzed and on visits to the dismounted workers housing in order to collect pictures and make interviews. On a large number of workers housing analyzed was noticed a singular kind of dismount, in which the change on the spatial arrange was related to the CESP intention, on selling them and, to the interest of the leisure and tourism enterprises, in buying and converting them.

The purpose of this study was to obtain a picture of the features of the Liberal Arts Honours Program at Vanier College, St. Laurent, Montreal, which contributed to students' preparation for university. The chief sources of information were drawn from students, teachers, and administrators. A questionnaire was administered to fifty-three students. An interview-protocol was also used to collect in-depth data from six first-year and six second-year students, and six teachers, and three administrators. Analysis of data suggested that 70% of students and also 80% of the majority of the participants in this study were satisfied with Vanier College's pre-university program. Students' satisfaction was due to the following factors: academic rigor, good teaching, a highly motivated student body, appropriate administrative support, encouragement from peers and the home, and a positive school climate. The study concluded that students were quite well prepared for universities, such as McGill University, in basic academic skills. The study focused on positive qualities that the Honours program possessed. This study, being the first to examine the actual operations of a successful CEGEP pre-university training program, enriches our understanding of the CEGEP system and adds to the limited amount of information on this topic.

This thesis compares the speech quality of Code Excited Linear Predictor (CELP, Federal Standard 1016) speech coder with a new wavelet method to compress speech. The performances of both are compared by performing subjective listening tests. The test signals used are clean signals (i.e. with no background noise), speech signals with room noise and speech signals with artificial noise added. Results indicate that for clean signals and signals with predominantly voiced components the CELP standard performs better than the wavelet method but for signals with room noise the wavelet method performs much better than the CELP. For signals with artificial noise added, the results are mixed depending on the level of artificial noise added with CELP performing better for low level noise added signals and the wavelet method performing better for higher noise levels.

Esta tese propõe novas melhorias para a codificação CELP a
baixas taxas de bits. Primeiro, é proposto um algoritmo
CELP em que a complexidade do procedimento de busca no
dicionário adaptativo é grandemente reduzida, graças a uma
modificação introduzida no modelo de síntese CELP.
Resultados de simulação mostram que a qualidade da voz
codificada com o algoritmo CELP proposto tem qualidade
comparável àquela obtida com o algoritmo CELP convencional.
As demais contribuições têm o propósito de melhorar a
qualidade da voz codificada com o algoritmo CELP a baixas
taxas de bits. Uma delas propicia uma codificação mais
eficiente da envoltória espectral LPC da voz: é,
especificamente, um esquema que combina quantização
vetorial e interpolação interbloco dos parâmetros LSF. Com
este esquema a envoltória espectral LPC codificada tem boa
qualidade a uma taxa de bits tão baixa quanto 1 kb/s.
A voz codificada com os algoritmos CELP apresenta
freqüentemente distorções em sua envoltória espectral que
são causadas por deficiências do sinal de excitação. Esta
tese propõe um novo pós-filtro que reduz estas distorções
e, com isso, melhora significativamente a qualidade
subjetiva da voz codificada.
A baixas taxas de bits a estrutura CELP convencional é
incapaz de reproduzir com boa qualidade os ataques dos
sons sonoros, que são cruciais para uma boa percepção da
voz. Nesta tese é descrito um algoritmo CELP que dá
prioridade a estes segmentos críticos. Cada bloco da voz é
classificado em um dentre dezesseis padrões de sonoridade
e cada padrão tem uma configuração de codificação e
alocação de bits distintas. Resultados de simulação
mostram que a qualidade da voz codificada a 4 kb/s com o
algoritmo CELP proposto é significativamente melhor do que
aquela conseguida com um codificador CELP convencional,
também operando a 4 kb/s.<br>This work presents new improvements to CELP speech coding
at low bit rates. First, a CELP algorithm is proposed in
wich the complexity of the adaptive codebook search is
gratly decreased. This is achieved by means of a modified
model of the CELP synthesizer. Simulation results show
that the proposed algorithm can provide speech quality
comparable to one obtained with the conventional CELP
codec.
The rest of contributions aim to improve the quality of
speech codec at low bit rates with CELP algorithm. One of
them is an efficient scheme for coding the LPC spectral
envelope of speech for coding the LPC spectral envelope of
speech. The proposed scheme combines vector quantization
and interpolation of LSF parameters, and it provides a
coded spectral envelope with very good quality at 1 kb/s.
Speech coded with CELP codecs frequently displays
distortions in its spectral envelope that are produced by
deficient excitation. This thesis proposes a new
postfilter that enhances the perceptual quality of codec
speech by decreasin these distortions.

Full textAbstract:
Le maintien de l'intégrité du génome et la transmission correcte de l'information génétique à chaque division cellulaire sont des étapes clés pour la survie de tous les organismes vivants. Chez les mammifères, la méthylation de l'ADN (ADNme) et le maintien de la fidélité de la ségrégation des chromosomes sont des déterminants majeurs de la stabilité du génome. L’ADNme est une marque épigénétique essentielle qui joue un rôle central dans la régulation du génome. En plus d’inhiber les transpositions et la recombinaison, c’est le principal mécanisme de répression de l'expression des éléments répétés. La ségrégation des chromosomes est médiée par le centromère, un domaine chromosomique spécialisé où le kinétochore s'assemble pour attacher les chromosomes au fuseau mitotique. Le bon fonctionnement des centromères est essentiel à la préservation du caryotype dans toutes les cellules en division. Les centromères sont entourés par des domaines péricentriques présentant des caractéristiques de l'hétérochromatine et sont assemblés sur de l'ADN satellite auquel se lie la protéine centromérique B (CENP-B). L'ADN centromérique et péricentromérique est fortement méthylé, à l'exception notable des domaines enrichis en CENP-A, la variante de l'histone H3 qui définit épigénétiquement la position des centromères et dont la régulation est déterminante pour leur fonction.Des altérations pathologiques des patrons de méthylation de l'ADN et de la fonction du centromère ont été associées à l'instabilité chromosomique dans le cancer et dans le syndrome ICF (Immunodéficience, instabilité Centromérique et dysmorphie Faciale), une maladie génétique rare. Le lien fonctionnel entre l'hypométhylation de l'ADN centromérique et le dysfonctionnement du centromère reste cependant à être établi. Notre hypothèse est que l'ADNme est un déterminant majeur de l'identité du centromère, et que l'hypométhylation des centromères conduit à un assemblage défectueux du réseau protéique centromérique, ce qui impacte leur fonction.En utilisant des outils cellulaires pour l’invalidation génique des ADN méthyltransférases DNMT1 et DNMT3B, j’ai démontré les mécanismes de régulation de l'ADNme au niveau des centromères humains et l'impact de la réduction de l'ADNme sur la physiologie des centromères. Pour aborder directement le lien entre l'ADNme et la fonction du centromère, j'ai généré des outils cellulaires pour induire une déméthylation ciblée de l'ADN centromérique. Le niveau d'ADNme centromérique peut être réduit jusqu'à 85% sans affecter la méthylation des péricentromères. Cette diminution de l'ADNme centromérique entraîne une instabilité du génome, avec formation de micronoyaux à l’issue d’une ségrégation incorrecte des chromosomes, et une létalité cellulaire. CENP-A et CENP-B, deux des protéines centrales de la chromatine centromérique, augmentent au niveau des centromères hypométhylés, ce qui explique en partie l'instabilité génomique observée dans ces cellules. La déméthylation de l'ADN centromérique n'est pas réversible et provoque à long terme un processus d'adaptation cellulaire. Certaines cellules parviennent à continuer à proliférer avec des niveaux d'ADNme centromérique plus faibles et des niveaux de CENP-A et de CENP-B stablement plus élevés au niveau des centromères. Enfin, j’ai identifié que l’ADNme peut servir de frontière pour délimiter la formation épigénétique des centromères médiée par CENP-A en préservant la position du centromère et en empêchant l'élargissement du domaine occupé par CENP-A. Dans l'ensemble, j'ai démontré qu'il existe un lien direct entre l’ADNme centromérique et l'identité et la fonction du centromère, tout en fournissant les premières preuves d'une relation fonctionnelle entre ces deux facteurs déterminants pour la stabilité du génome. Ce travail établit les bases de notre compréhension de la façon dont la perte d'ADNme centromérique peut être à l'origine de l'instabilité du génome observée dans le cancer et le syndrome ICF<br>In all living organisms, maintaining genome integrity and ensuring the proper transmission of genetic information in each cell division are key steps for a healthy development and survival. In mammals, both DNA methylation (DNAme) and the maintenance of chromosome segregation fidelity are known to be major determinants of genome stability. DNAme is an essential epigenetic mark that plays a central role in genome regulation as it is the major mechanism responsible for silencing the expression of repetitive elements, and it inhibits transpositions and recombination. Chromosome segregation is mediated by the centromere, a specialized chromosomal domain where the kinetochore assembles in mitosis to attach the chromosomes to the spindle microtubules. The proper function of the centromeres is essential for the preservation of a correct karyotype in all dividing cells. In most eukaryotes, the centromeres are often embedded into pericentric domains with hallmarks of heterochromatin and they are assembled on large arrays of tandemly repeated satellite DNA bound by CENtromeric Protein B (CENP-B). Both the centromeric and the pericentromeric DNA are highly methylated, with the notable exception of the domains where CENP A is enriched. CENP-A is the histone H3 variant that defines epigenetically the position of the centromeres, and its tight regulation is known to be key for centromere function.Pathological alterations of DNA methylation patterns and centromere function have been associated to chromosomal instability in cancer and in the Immunodeficiency, Centromeric region instability and Facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome, a rare genetic disease. The functional link between centromeric DNA hypomethylation and centromere dysfunction remains however to be formally established. We hypothesize that DNAme is a major determinant of centromere identity, and that pathological hypomethylation of the centromeres leads to a deficient assembly of the centromeric protein network, which then impacts centromere function.Using cellular tools to remove the DNA methyl transferases DNMT1 and DNMT3B I demonstrate the mechanisms regulating the DNAme at human centromeres and the impact of DNAme reduction on centromere physiology. To directly address the link between DNAme and centromere function, I have generated cellular tools to induce a targeted centromeric DNA demethylation and have demonstrated that they are centromere-specific and tunable. The centromeric DNAme level can be reduced up to 85% without affecting the methylation of the neighboring pericentromeres. This decrease of centromeric DNAme causes genome instability, with formation of micronuclei as a readout of chromosome mis segregation, and cell lethality. CENP-A and CENP-B, two of the core proteins of the centromeric chromatin, increase at the centromeres upon hypomethylation, partially accounting for the genome instability observed in these cells. The demethylation of the centromeric DNA is not reversible, and in the long-term prompts a process of cellular adaptation at the cell population level: despite initially causing lethality, some cells manage to continue to proliferate with lower centromeric DNAme levels at and with stably higher CENP-A and CENP-B levels at the centromeres. Finally, I reveal that DNAme can act as a boundary for the epigenetic, CENP-A-mediated formation of the centromeres by preserving centromere position and preventing the enlargement of the domain occupied by CENP-A. Overall, I have demonstrated that there is a direct link between the centromeric DNAme and centromere identity and function, providing the first evidence of a functional relationship between these two determinant factors for genome stability. This work sets the foundation of our understanding on how loss of centromeric DNAme can be at the root of the genome instability observed in cancer and the ICF syndrome

Full textAbstract:
Voice communication systems are moving at a steady pace from circuit-switched to packet-switched networks. Converged networks, in which data traffic and multimedia traffic share the same infrastructures, have yet to face many challenges. Unlike data traffic, voice traffic is very sensitive to issues such as delay, jitter and packet losses. The Quality of Service (QoS) of IP networks has greatly improved over the recent years. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon to experience loss in QoS on some networks caused by lack of resources or software/hardware failures. The speech codec (COder DECoder) is an essential component in a digital voice communication system. It converts the speech signal into a compact representation in order to efficiently use the available bandwidth. To compress the signal, speech codecs usually exploit the high redundancy present in a speech signal using techniques known as predictive coding. The most widely used speech coding model is the Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) model upon which are based most of the modern standardized speech codecs. The use of predictive codebooks, the Adaptive CodeBook (ACB) in particular, allows a tremendous reduction in bitrate. Unfortunately, the extensive use of prediction renders CELP codecs more vulnerable to packet losses than non-predictive codecs. A possible solution is to avoid using prediction at the cost of an increased bitrate. In this thesis, we propose several techniques to reduce the vulnerability of CELP codecs to packet losses caused by the use of prediction. Solutions that aim at limiting the contribution of the ACB and thus that reduce the sensitivity of the codec to packet losses are presented and discussed. Techniques based on sending side information, in order to help the decoder recover after a packet loss, are also proposed. The solutions are constrained to be low delay and low bitrate solutions, and are required to maintain interoperability if used in a standardized codec. Objective and subjective test results that demonstrate the performances of the proposed solutions are presented. We show that the robustness of CELP codecs can significantly be improved without sacrificing their compression performances. In spite of packet loss issues, we show that it is still beneficial to use predictive coding to efficiently exploit the available bandwidth.

Full textAbstract:
All democratic organisations operate under a particular set of rules. Such procedures are implemented by the very individuals that create and maintain them, usually under a majority voting rule. This research project engages with the question of why and how members of parliament "abdicate" procedural power, focusing on the evolution of the rules of debate in the UK House of Commons. Working from newly collected data on the reform of Standing Orders of the House spanning 205 years (1811 - 2015), as well as records of over six million speeches, it provides a new perspective on procedural choice. Framing debate as a platform for speech-as-filibuster behaviour, I develop a formal model where the decision to support an anti-dilatory reform is primarily a function of polarisation. I show that legislators adopt restrictive rules when they are more likely to share policy preferences with colleagues within their party. The presence of shared views, then, motivates MPs to prioritise responsible use of the common resource of plenary time over individual policy influence. Both empirically and theoretically, my research offers new insights into the process of parliamentary reform in the absence of party discipline, and studies how the dynamics of procedural choice change as political parties enter the stage. Methodologically, it makes a contribution to the text-as-data field, exploring the use of novel machine-learning techniques in the measurement of political preferences.

Full textAbstract:
Le variant d'histone CENP-A est le facteur responsable de la détermination épigéné- tique du centromère. Il permet le recrutement de nombreuses protéines centromériques, et constitue ainsi la brique fondatrice du kinétochore. Il possède un domaine amino-terminal non structuré dont la fonction précise reste encore à élucider, bien qu'il soit déjà établi chez certaines espèces que ce domaine est requis pour le bon fonctionnement du cen- tromère et conséquemment le bon déroulement de la mitose. Nous avons construit des lignées cellulaires humaines exprimant stablement diverses formes mutantes de CENP-A, qui nous ont permis de réaliser des expériences de pseudogénétique en supprimant l'ex- pression de la protéine CENP-A endogène. Nous observons une augmentation drastique du taux de défauts de ségrégation des chromosomes et de cellules plurinucléées dans des cellules exprimant uniquement le domaine globulaire de CENP-A, ce qui est en accord avec les données de la littérature et confirme l'importance du domaine amino-terminal. Un phénotype similaire est observé dans des cellules exprimant une protéine CENP-A entière mais dont le domaine amino-terminal n'est pas phosphorylable. Nos résultats montrent l'implication de la phosphorylation de la sérine de CENP-A dans le bon déroulement de la mitose, et suggèrent que la fonction mitotique du domaine amino-terminal est centrée sur cette seule phosphorylation.

Full textAbstract:
La ségrégation fidèle des chromosomes est dirigée par le centromère, un locus chromosomique spécialisé qui est requis pour l'assemblage des kinetochores actifs. Les centromères sont marqués épigénétiquement par la présence d'un nucléosome unique qui contient un variant centromérique de l'histone H3 appelé Centromere protein A (CENP-A). Une question fondamentale est comment CENP-A est spécifiquement déposé aux centromères. L'objectif de ma thèse a été d'identifier les facteurs spécifiques de la déposition de CENP-A. Pour identifier les facteurs spécifiques impliqués dans la déposition de CENP-A aux centromères, j'ai utilisé la méthode de purification TAP-TAG à partir d'une fraction nucléaire soluble de cellules HeLa exprimant stablement une copie ectopique de CENP-A (e-CENP-A). J'ai ainsi pu identifié la protéine Holliday Junction Recognition protein (HJURP). En utilisant un siRNA spécifique de HJURP, j'ai montré que la localisation et la déposition de CENP-A étaient fortement affectées. La protéine recombinante HJURP lie de manière stoechiométrique le tétramère CENP-A/H4 mais il ne lie pas le tétramère H3/H4. La liaison se fait grâce à un petit domaine conservé en position N-terminal de HJURP, dénommé CBD (CENP-A binding domain). De plus, j'ai pu mettre en évidence in vitro que HJURP facilitait la déposition du tétramère CENP-A/H4 sur de l'ADN satellite. L'ensemble de mes résultats démontre très clairement que HJURP est la principale chaperone responsable de la déposition de CENP-A aux centromères.

Full textAbstract:
Le variant d'histone CENP-A est le facteur responsable de la détermination épigéné- tique du centromère. Il permet le recrutement de nombreuses protéines centromériques, et constitue ainsi la brique fondatrice du kinétochore. Il possède un domaine amino-terminal non structuré dont la fonction précise reste encore à élucider, bien qu'il soit déjà établi chez certaines espèces que ce domaine est requis pour le bon fonctionnement du cen- tromère et conséquemment le bon déroulement de la mitose. Nous avons construit des lignées cellulaires humaines exprimant stablement diverses formes mutantes de CENP-A, qui nous ont permis de réaliser des expériences de pseudogénétique en supprimant l'ex- pression de la protéine CENP-A endogène. Nous observons une augmentation drastique du taux de défauts de ségrégation des chromosomes et de cellules plurinucléées dans des cellules exprimant uniquement le domaine globulaire de CENP-A, ce qui est en accord avec les données de la littérature et confirme l'importance du domaine amino-terminal. Un phénotype similaire est observé dans des cellules exprimant une protéine CENP-A entière mais dont le domaine amino-terminal n'est pas phosphorylable. Nos résultats montrent l'implication de la phosphorylation de la sérine de CENP-A dans le bon déroulement de la mitose, et suggèrent que la fonction mitotique du domaine amino-terminal est centrée sur cette seule phosphorylation<br>The histone variant CENP-A is the epigenetic factor responsible for centromere deter- mination. It allows the recruitment of a handful of centromeric proteins, and thus acts as the primary foundation for the kinetochore. It comprises an unstructured amino-terminal domain to which no precise function has yet been assigned, although it is established in some species that the mere presence of that domain is required for proper centromere func- tion and thus successful completion of mitosis. We have established several human cell lines stably expressing GFP-tagged CENP-A constructs, allowing us to perform pseudoge- netic experiments by siRNA-mediated silencing of the endogenous CENP-A. Our results show a dramatic increase of mitotic defects and plurinuclear cells when cells express only the globular domain of CENP-A; this is in accordance with the litterature and confirms the importance of the amino-terminal tail. More importantly, a similar increase of mitotic defects is observed when cells express a full-length, but non-phosphatable, CENP-A. Our results show the involvement of the phosphatable serine 7 of CENP-A in the successful completion of mitosis, and may suggest that the role of the whole amino-terminal tail of CENP-A could be reduced to this single phosphorylation event

Full textAbstract:
Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq<br>This study aims to analyze how the question of popular education builds and develops the political and social scene of the Sergipe state, comprising the different contexts and dynamics that made possible the composition of a scene of protests and engagement around the cause. As methodological theoretical framework, the study's emphasis on an analysis of the construction of the cause as a public problem, tying up the analysis of network relations and militant trajectories. Thus, research is developed from the 1960s to the 2000s, dividing into three stages: the first refers to the construction process of the cause, when are the first organizations around the same, as the MEB and the CPC. The second time sets up a "reframing cause" going to be a more strategic and political movement born in this context the CESEP, emerging new actors and new dynamics of the cause. Already in the 2000s, observed a "fragmentation of the case", it becomes incorporated with other agendas, particularly the solidarity economy. Thus, we see how different contexts formulate different networks relationship around the cause, being articulated personal and impersonal relations in alliances. We also observed that at first the relations pervade the work of the Church, as in the second time the relationships were more branched and heterogeneous. Beyond this perspective the research raises, from the militant trajectories, two profiles of careers around the cause: multiple religious and militant activism. This reinforces the argument of the influence of political and social contexts in social action dynamics. Thus, the study seeks to bring contributions to the field of sociology of social movements. Housed in an analysis that gives rise to the case studies, the actors involved and assigned meanings, the research raises questions to better understand the Sergipe and even Brazilian politics.<br>O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar como a questão da Educação Popular se constrói e se desenvolve na cena política e social do estado de Sergipe, compreendendo os diferentes contextos e dinâmicas que possibilitaram a composição de um cenário de mobilizações e engajamento em torno da causa. Como recorte teórico metodológico, o estudo dá ênfase a uma análise da construção da causa enquanto problema público, atrelando-se as análises de redes de relações e trajetórias militantes. Dessa forma, a pesquisa se desenvolve da década de 1960 ao ano 2000, dividindo-se em três momentos: o primeiro refere-se ao processo de construção da causa, quando surgem as primeiras organizações em torno da mesma, como o MEB e o CPC; o segundo configura uma “ressignificação da causa”, passando a ser um movimento mais político e estratégico de onde, nesse contexto, nasce o CESEP, surgindo novos atores e novas dinâmicas da causa. Já no ano 2000, observamos uma “fragmentação da causa”, a qual passa a ser incorporada a outras pautas, em especial a economia solidária. Dessa forma, observamos como diferentes contextos formulam diferentes redes de relação em torno da causa, sendo articuladas relações pessoais e impessoais nas alianças. Observamos ainda que, no primeiro momento, as relações perpassavam pela atuação da Igreja, enquanto que, no segundo momento, eram mais ramificadas e heterogêneas. Além dessa perspectiva, a pesquisa levanta, a partir das trajetórias militantes, dois perfis de carreiras em torno da causa: militância religiosa e a militância múltipla. Isso reforça o argumento da influência dos contextos políticos e sociais nas dinâmicas de atuação social. Dessa forma, o estudo busca trazer contribuições para o campo da sociologia dos movimentos sociais. Inserida numa análise que dá margem aos estudos de casos, aos atores envolvidos e significados atribuídos, a pesquisa levanta questões para melhor entendermos a política sergipana e, até mesmo, a brasileira.

Previous issue date: 2015<br>É a partir do abandono dos deuses em Cartas a Posêidon (2012), do escritor Cees Nooteboom, que a presente dissertação busca refletir sobre a criação de uma imagem poética do estatuto do homem nos dias atuais, cujo enfoque reside nas inúmeras descontinuidades e rupturas presentes no texto de escritor neerlandês. Através da Carta sobre o humanismo, de Martin Heidegger, e Regras para o parque humano, de Peter Sloterdijk, o trabalho propõe uma breve discussão sobre a epístola enquanto ferramenta humanista e, no caso de Nooteboom, a sua inabilidade em fazer amigos, resultado da disrupção do dialogismo pelo insistente silêncio divino. Utilizando-se do conceito de Stimmung e os estudos de Leo Spitzer e Hans Gumbrecht sobre o tema, a dissertação procura observar a criação de determinadas atmosferas ao longo do texto, cuja essência nega o significado original do termo Stimmung enquanto harmonia. Por intermédio do pensamento de Jean-Luc Nancy acerca do mito e a sua base atual como negação de sua fundação original, o trabalho busca pensar a inoperância da carta como espaço de proliferação da narrativa. Valendo-se de A Comunidade Inconfessável, de Maurice Blanchot, a formação da comunidade tem como base a sua própria ausência em um movimento contínuo aqui proposto como (des)solução. Por fim, através da contribuição de Susan Sontag em ?Estética do silêncio?, a dissertação propõe uma comparação dos fragmentos de Nooteboom com a pintura neerlandesa do século XVII, o Stilleven, e a sua natureza silente e imóvel que em Nooteboom culminam em tremor, ruído.<br><br>Abstract : It is from the abandonment of the gods in Letters to Poseidon (2012), of the writer Cees Nooteboom, that this study tries to reflect on the creation of a poetic image of the status of man nowadays whose focus lies in the many discontinuities and breaks in the text the Dutch author. By Letter on Humanism, from Martin Heidegger, and Rules for the human zoo, by Peter Sloterdijk, the work proposes a brief discussion of the epistle as humanistic tool and, in the case of Nooteboom, its inability to make friends as a result of disruption of dialogism by the insistent divine silence. Using the concept of Stimmung and studies of Leo Spitzer and Hans Gumbrecht on the subject, the dissertation tries to observe the creation of specific atmospheres throughout the text, whose essence denies the original meaning of the term Stimmung as harmony. Through the thought of Jean-Luc Nancy about the myth and its current base as denial of its original foundation, the work aims to rethink the ineffectiveness of communication as the narrative space proliferation and the formation of a community, drawing on The Unavowable Community, from Maurice Blanchot, whose base lies in its very absence, in continuous motion proposed here as (dis)solution. Finally, through the contribution of Susan Sontag in "Aesthetics of Silence", the study proposes a comparison of Nooteboom fragments with the Dutch painting of the seventeenth century, Stilleven, and its silent and motionless nature that in Nooteboom culminates into tremor, noise.

Full textAbstract:
Le kinétochore est un complexe multiprotéique qui s'assemble sur l'ADN centromérique et permet la ségrégation des chromosomes lors de la division cellulaire. Le variant d'histone CenH3 est essentiel pour l'assemblage des kinétochores dans la plupart des espèces où il initie leurs formation. De façon inattendue, compte tenu de leur rôle essentiel, il a été précédemment montré que CenH3 avait été perdu dans plusieurs ordres d'insectes dont les lépidoptères. Malgré cette perte, des études récentes au laboratoire ont révélé que d'autres composants du kinétochore ont des homologues chez les lépidoptères et doivent donc être recrutés de manière différente. Ma thèse a eu pour objectif de comprendre l'assemblage des kinétochores en absence de CenH3 dans des cellules de Bombyx mori. Pour cela, j'ai mis en place des outils dans ces cellules à l'histoire expérimentale sporadique. Par exemple: la déplétion d'un gène par ARNi et la validation des anticorps et la génération de lignées cellulaires contenant des répétitions lacO pour pouvoir étudier l'assemblage des kinétochores sur des sites ectopiques. Mes études se sont concentrées sur un composant particulier du kinétochore, CENP-T, qui dans d'autres organismes, contribue à la liaison du kinétochore à I'ADN et aux microtubules du fuseau. En utilisant les outils que j'ai générés, j'ai pu montrer que B. mori CENP-T est essentiel à la progression mitotique et à la fois nécessaire et suffisant pour recruter les composants interagissants avec le fuseau. Pris ensemble, les résultats de mon projet de doctorat généreront un nouveau système modèle pour l'étude de l'assemblage des kinétochores indépendants de CenH3<br>The kinetochore is a multiprotein complex that assembles on centromeric DNA and enables chromosome segregation during cell division. Essential for kinetochore assembly in most species is the histone variant CenH3 that initiates complex formation. Unexpected to this essential role, it was previously shown that CenH3 was lost in multiple insect orders including the Lepidoptera (butterflies, moths). Despite this loss, recent studies from my host lab revealed that other kinetochore homologs are present in Lepidoptera and must therefore be recruited in a different way. For my PhD I aimed to characterize the assembly of these CenH3-deficientt kinetochores in Bombyx mori cells. In order to address my aim, during the 1st and 2nd year of my PhD, I established tools and protocols in these cells with sparse experimental history. Those include the optimization of RNAI-mediated depletion, characterization of mitotic phenotypes, verification of antibodies and the generation of cell lines containing lacO arrays to able to study kinetochore assembly at ectopic sites. My studies focused on one particular kinetochore component, CENP-T that in other organisms makes important contributions to connect the kinetochore to DNA and to the spindle microtubules. Using the tools that I have generated, I could show that the B. mori CENP-T is essential for mitotic progression and both necessary and sufficient to recruit components to interact with the spindle

Full textAbstract:
Esta tese estuda a experiência de planejamento regional integrado desenvolvida pela Companhia Energética de São Paulo (CESP). A hipótese do trabalho é que a partir dos conhecimentos adquiridos ao longo dos anos e das gerações de profissionais que trabalharam na CESP e suas antecessoras, e com o acúmulo de experiências arquitetônicas e de planejamento, a Companhia constituiu um método próprio e particular de planejamento de seus empreendimentos hidrelétricos. Por planejamento regional integrado entendemos o processo no qual se planeja uma região, definida pela bacia hidrográfica, através de seu uso múltiplo e da possibilidade de seu aproveitamento integral. O principal resultado obtido com a pesquisa foi a recuperação do processo de construção da experiência de planejamento empreendida pela CESP, através da identificação de algumas referências - como as company towns, as cidades novas, o planejamento regional, os conceitos de polo de desenvolvimento e de unidade de vizinhança, os postulados dos CIAMs e a experiência da Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) - e da constatação de que este método de planejamento seguiu um conjunto de diretrizes estabelecidas, a partir da própria prática de planejar empreendimentos hidrelétricos. A atuação dos dois principais agrupamentos de arquitetos envolvidos nos projetos hidrelétricos de São Paulo - a Divisão de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da CESP e a PLANEMAK - assinalaram a contrapartida arquitetônica no desenvolvimento da tecnologia brasileira no setor de construção de centrais hidrelétricas. Como exemplos das aplicações do método de planejamento desenvolvido pela CESP, são analisados três estudos de caso: Jupiá, de 1961, e o núcleo urbano de Ilha Solteira, de 1967, com participação da PLANEMAK; e o núcleo urbano de Porto Primavera, do início da década de 1980, através da Divisão de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da CESP. A trajetória da CESP no campo do planejamento urbano e regional foi resultado do crescente empenho do Estado em articular a intervenção na área de produção de energia com uma ação mais ampla de reorganização de território com vista a impulsionar o desenvolvimento e implantar núcleos residenciais coerentes com postulados do urbanismo moderno.<br>This thesis addresses the experience of integrated regional planning developed by CESP (Sao Paulo Power Company). The basic hypothesis is that from the knowledge acquired over the years and generations of professionals, who worked in the CESP and its predecessors, and with the accumulation of architectural and planning experiences, the Company has constituted a proprietary and private method of planning its hydroelectric projects. By integrated regional planning we understand the process in which a region, defined by the river basin, is planned through its multiple uses and its possibility of the complete exploitation. The main result obtained from the survey was the recovery of the construction process of the planning experience undertaken by CESP, by identifying some references - such as company towns, new towns, regional planning, the concepts of development pole and neighborhood unit, the postulates of CIAMs and the experience of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) - and the fact that this method of planning followed some established guidelines, from the very practice of planning hydroelectric projects. The acting of the two main groups of architects involved in hydropower projects in São Paulo Architecture and Urbanism Division of CESP and PLANEMAK represented the architectural component in the development of Brazilian technology in the construction of hydroelectric plants sector. Illustrating the applications of the planning method developed by CESP, we analyzed three case studies: Jupiá, 1961, and the residential village of Ilha Solteira, 1967, with the participation of PLANEMAK, and the residential village of Porto Primavera, in the beginning at 1980s, by the Architecture and Urbanism Division of the CESP. The trajectory of the CESP in the field of urban and regional planning was the result of the growing commitment of the State in joint an intervention in the area of energy production with a broader action to reorganize the territory with a view to boost the development and deploy residential nuclei consistent with postulates of modern urbanism.

Full textAbstract:
Although civil societies in Central and Eastern Europe are often portrayed as similar, united by a shared communist past, they have developed along increasingly divergent trajectories over the past three decades. This article investigates the current state of civil society in the region and the role the institutional context plays in it. Drawing on historical institutionalism and the process of European integration, we classify the 14 countries under investigation into three distinct groups and analyze data from a survey of more than 350 local civil society experts. We find that, together with domestic governments, international donors and the EU are perceived as the most influential institutional actors for civil society organizations. Their respective influences, however, depend largely on a country's stage in the EU accession process. Overall, the study provides a differentiated mapping of civil society in this region and a better understanding of how the institutional context relates to a Country's civil society.

Full textAbstract:
Multinational banks dominate the banking sectors in Central- and Eastern European countries and are an important partner for the domestic real economies. The aim of this paper is to examine the risk-return variations of these financial institutions in different macroeconomic stages in and around the global financial and economic crisis. The capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is used as a representation of the overall risk a bank is exposed to. The question is if a change in GDP growth implies a reciprocal change in CAR of a bank and if a change in CAR leads to a reciprocal change in net income. In addition, it will be tried to assess the consistency of the risk strategies of different subsidiaries of the same banking group. To conduct the research CAR is firstly derived as a suitable holistic risk measure in the theoretical part of this paper. Then, in the empirical part a case study is carried out that comprises the Czech and Slovak subsidiaries of four multinational banking groups and that is designed for the time horizon from 2008 to 2010. Qualitative as well as quantitative methods are applied.
