Elliott, Keith Eric William. "The nature of the correlation structure of traditional and alternative asset classes." Thesis, University of Reading, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.602538.
Full textAbstract:
The goal of this thesis is to increase the understanding of 'alternative assets' and their interaction with other asset classes. This is a relevant area of focus as there are currently more assets available to investors than at any other time. Firstly several assets are reviewed to see if they should be considered for further analysis. This process examines the philosophical question of what is an asset class and also considers the ease of investing in each. The asset's return drivers are analysed using statistical and macroeconomic factor models. Most assets are found to be explained by up to seven macroeconomic factors; however, assets such as real estate, gold and wine are not explained well and thus may have portfolio diversification benefits. I then focus my study on the correlation structures of the asset returns. These are examined using rolling correlations and statistical testing of the stability of correlation matrices and correlations are found to time vary. Semicorrelation is adopted to differentiate correlations between those in outperforming and underperforming markets. I find that for many assets, correlations increase in underperforming markets and thus diversification fails when it is needed the most. Government bonds' diversification power is found to improve during underperforming markets and thus these are important for diversification. The final section applies an AG-DCC model to retrieve conditional correlations and study their driving factors using macroeconomic factor models. This model proves that correlations change over time and are asymmetric. I correct for overestimation of goodness-of-fit and my models show an average ability to explain changes in conditional correlations of approximately 7.5%, in some cases this is up to 30%. Two key factors that are found to drive correlations are dividend yield and the oil price; correlations response to factors implies that higher correlations occur during periods of economic underperformance.

Li, Xian. "The changing nature of Chinese complementary schools in the UK." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/42429/.
Full textAbstract:
Chinese complementary schools (CCS) play a significant role in transmitting the Chinese language and culture to younger British Chinese generations. Existing research are largely set in Cantonese-dominant CCS, which have characterised long-established UK Chinese communities. However, the last five to ten years have witnessed a demographic change of UK Chinese population and Mandarin is replacing Cantonese as the lingua franca of UK Chinese communities. This research aims to explore the current practices in three CCS and to understand the impacts of UK Chinese demographic change on CCS. Data was collected using ethnographic observation, document collection and semi-structured interviews with teachers, parents and pupils. This research finds that CCS in UK are undergoing great changes, as Mandarin has been the preferred language in these schools, which has implications for the population and activities of these schools. Students’ backgrounds have been extremely diverse, but current resources, materials and expertise of CCS do not address the diversity. Issues and problems arise when regarding Mandarin as the Chinese heritage language of all students attending the schools. The role of CCS in participants’ identity construction is significant as CCS provide an intercultural space for them to reflect on their UK Chinese identities. This doctoral research hopes to provide in-depth insights into Mandarin teaching and learning in CCS and implications for policy makers and practitioners.

Liao, Tzu-Chi. "The nature of father-daughter relationships in Taiwanese immigrant families living in Britain." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2012. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/3422/.
Full textAbstract:
Using social constructionist approaches this thesis aims to explore the perceptions/expectations/experiences of father-daughter relations in Taiwanese immigrant families living in Britain. Six Taiwanese father-daughter pairs formed the sample. Semi-structered interviews were the main method used to collect information about the participants' perceptions/understandings/experiences. The data was subject to qualitative content analysis which revealed three key findings. These were: 1. Taiwanese immigrant fathers experiences tensions in the process of fathering their daughters to be indeoendent and pursue success in their careers. But deeply held traditional views on monitoring/protecting their daughters led them display behaviours that suggested a desire to control them. These 'mixed messages' created tensions in father-daughter relationships. 2. British-Taiwanese daughters' constructions of daughterhood produced tensions too:their experiences were akin to those of the majority of young women living in western societies who delay motherhood and pursue success at work. However, traditional expectations of daughters to prioritise family responsibilities and show obedience to their parents sets up conflicts both on father-daughter relations and their own personal choices. 3.Father-daughter relationships in Taiwanese immigrant families living in Britain are one where the expectation and practices of conventional fathers and daughters marks relationships daughters' life stages.

March-McDonald, Jane. "Refugees and asylum seekers : exploring the nature and role of resilience." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2010. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/341938/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the nature and role of resilience in forced migrants’ lives with particular reference to the day-to-day lives of Somali women living in the UK. In contrast to the dominant discourse of victimhood associated with the label of ‘forced migrant’ this empirical study explores the notion of the ‘strong migrant woman’. Drawing upon perspectives that illuminate power relations and adopting a social constructionist framework, a qualitative and predominantly ethnographic approach was taken to elicit Somali women’s accounts of their family life in a city in southern England. Challenges encountered within the research field, including language barriers, issues of informed consent and women’s reluctance to engage with the study, led to the adoption of an increasingly informal, flexible process of data generation. This was via formal and informal individual and group interviews and participant observation of women’s daily activities. Together these rich sources of data illuminate the complexity and contraction of the resilience concept and in doing so promote a more informed understanding of the diversity and richness of forced migrants’ lives. Findings from this study challenge the use of static frameworks and labels in determining and categorising migratory journeys and experiences of (re)settlement. The need for recognition of the complexity and fluidity surrounding the nature of border crossings is argued. Drawing on a pluralistic theoretical approach to understanding resilience, this thesis illuminates the complex ways in which risk and protection, strengths and vulnerability operate within women’s day-to-day lives. ‘Complexity and contradiction’ and ‘movement and fluidity’ are identified as key inter-related themes in understanding the nature of resilience within these migrant women’s family life. A model developed on the basis of this study’s findings and encompassing a more holistic approach is outlined as a potential tool to aid the complex task of resilience assessment.

Full textAbstract:
Durch ihr besonderes Verhalten haben psychologische Verben, und Experiencer-Objekt-Verben im Besonderen, in der linguistischen Forschung Berühmtheit erlangt. In vielen Sprachen konnte beobachtet werden, dass das Verhalten dieser Verben oft von grammatischen Generalisierungen abweicht, die über Prädikate und Strukturen bis dahin gemacht wurden. Diese so genannten 'psych properties' (Psych-Eigenschaften) betreffen zentrale linguistische Phänomene sowie sprachspezifische Eigenschaften und sie geben Anlass anzunehmen, dass Verben wie 'frighten' ('fürchten'), 'appeal to' ('gefallen') und 'worry' ('beunruhigen') eine besondere Stellung im grammatischen System einnehmen. Sie stehen hier Verben gegenüber die nicht primär mentale oder emotionale Konzepte ausdrücken, wie zum Beispiel 'call' ('anrufen'), 'warn' ('warnen') or 'visit' ('besuchen'). Die vorliegende Arbeit nimmt diese Beobachtungen auf und untersucht die besonderen Eigenschaften der Psych-Prädikate.Psych verbs in general and experiencer object verbs in particular are exceptional because they often do not follow generalizations that have been made about verbs and structure types in the theory of grammar. Such so-called 'psych properties' can be observed in many languages and concern central linguistic but also language-specific phenomena. The existence of psych properties gives rise to the assumption that verbs such as 'frighten', 'appeal to' and 'worry' have a special position within the grammatical system as they stand in opposition to verbs that do not primarily express mental or emotional concepts, e.g., 'call', 'warn' or 'visit'. The present work addresses this divergence and investigates the characterizations of psych predicates.

Full textAbstract:
Homework in primary school level is an important discussion among teachers, students and parents in recent years particularly during the last two decades there has been great raise of interest to know the role of the parents as first educators of the children in improving their capacity. This research study tries to find out the point of views of the teachers about nature and feature of homework in primary classes (one to third) because majority of the students, particularly those who live in the rural areas of the country work at home or agriculture fields after school time to support their families and they have limited time to do the amount of homework that teachers want. Similarly cooperation or involvement of parents in homework process is also limited because considerable proportion of parents in remote areas of Afghanistan are uneducated and cannot effectively take part in homework process The study has been based on a field survey with 60 male and female teachers in Takhar province (Taloqan city and two districts, Farkhar and Dashte Qala). The study found that most of the teachers were aware about the goal and objective of the homework in primary classes and to some extent apply in one or other way, but, lack of proper planning, follow up and feedback mechanisms, time and amount of homework as well as low level involvement of parents and students themselves are the major shortages of the homework process in primary classes which requires great attention of the education actors in school and ministry levels. Similarly the only way of involvement of the families at school issues is the homework which can play the role of bridge between home and school so designing the of homework should be in way that parents specifically uneducated parents also could participateTEMP

Full textAbstract:
En France, depuis la récente réforme dite de la " masterisation " 1 , les enseignants doivent posséder le grade de Master pour pouvoir enseigner dans les différentes structures d'enseignement de l'Éducation Nationale : écoles maternelles ou élémentaires pour le primaire, collèges ou lycées pour le secondaire. En plus de ce diplôme, ces maîtres doivent réussir un concours de recrutement (CRPE 2 ou CAPES3 notamment, ou encore CAPET4 ou CAPEPS5...) pour devenir titulaires. Dans ce contexte de réforme, depuis 2010, des masters préparant au professorat des écoles ont été construits et mis en œuvre dans les universités françaises. En France, un étudiant diplômé d'un Master et ayant réussi le concours du CRPE peut enseigner en école primaire, indifféremment en élémentaire ou en maternelle. Cette dernière école est aujourd'hui complètement intégrée au système éducatif. Constituant le premier segment de la scolarité, elle est considérée, selon l'expression convenue, comme le " fleuron de ce système ". La maternelle est la structure d'accueil de la petite enfance la plus fréquentée en France par les enfants âgés de deux à six ans, avant la scolarité obligatoire. Ainsi, à la différence de nombreux pays, notamment européens, l'éducation préscolaire est confiée à des professeurs des écoles hautement diplômés (à BAC+5). Cette recherche propose de caractériser la professionnalité de ces enseignants de maternelle par l'examen de leurs pratiques relatives à la prise en charge de la première éducation scientifique et technologique (ST) dont ils ont la responsabilité. Cette thèse s'inscrit dans la lignée des travaux portant sur la professionnalité (par exemple : Bourdoncle et Mathey-Pierre, 19956 ; Bourdoncle, 2000 ; Périsset, sous presse7) et complète ceux qui portent particulièrement sur la professionnalité des enseignants du premier degré.).

Full textAbstract:
La présente recherche a pour but d’étudier les pratiques éducatives qui soutiennent les comportements prosociaux des enfants âgés de 3 à 5 ans en contexte d’éducation par la nature. Six éducatrices et trente-six enfants en services de garde éducatifs qui font partie d’un projet d’éducation par la nature dans la région de Québec (Québec) participent à cette étude de cas. Un entretien individuel et une observation ont été menés afin de documenter les pratiques éducatives en soutien aux comportements prosociaux des enfants. Les résultats permettent d’identifier et de décrire les pratiques de chacune des six éducatrices à partir de l’analyse de ses propos et des données issues de l’observation menée dans son groupe. Il en ressort que les éducatrices soutiennent les comportements prosociaux des enfants âgés de 3 à 5 ans en contexte d’éducation par la nature en misant sur le jeu en nature qui suscite des occasions d’interagir positivement avec autrui, en ayant confiance en les capacités des enfants, en étant sensible aux occasions pour soutenir leurs comportements prosociaux et en les saisissant, en observant les enfants et en documentant leurs comportements prosociaux. De plus, les résultats montrent qu’en nature, les éducatrices soutiennent l’autonomie des enfants et évitent parfois d’intervenir, demandent à un enfant de poser un comportement prosocial, modélisent un tel comportement, manifestent de l’intérêt envers les enfants, soutiennent leur autoévaluation ou leur donnent une rétroaction et enfin, utilisent la littérature jeunesse. Ces résultats sont discutés à partir des points de convergence entre les pratiques relevées chez les éducatrices. Ce mémoire de maîtrise contribue aux connaissances scientifiques sur l’éducation par la nature en petite enfance au Québec en ce sens où il documente pour une première fois dans ce contexte le soutien des éducatrices aux comportements nécessaires à la socialisation et à la réussite éducative des enfants

Full textAbstract:
Le Mozambique est un ‘donor darling’ depuis l’indépendance en 1975, et plus particulièrement depuis les Accords de paix en 1992. En matière de conservation de la nature, des bailleurs de fonds internationaux prennent une part active à l’action publique, depuis la conception de la réglementation jusqu’à la gestion quotidienne de parcs nationaux. L’action publique est de fait transnationale : elle est sous-tendue par des narrations, des financements et des acteurs exogènes. Ce travail étudie ce phénomène au sommet de l’Etat, c’est à dire à l’échelle des élites administratives du ministère du tourisme (en charge des questions de conservation) et de deux parcs nationaux (Gorongosa et Limpopo). Grâce à une lecture sociologique de l’action publique, nous montrons combien les élites mozambicaines se situent dans une zone grise : elles s’attachent à mettre en œuvre les feuilles de route de bailleurs qui les rémunèrent (telle la Banque mondiale), mais elles affichent dans le même temps une loyauté vis à vis du parti-Etat Frelimo, au pouvoir depuis l’indépendance. Ainsi, leur maîtrise voire leur partage des visions du monde des bailleurs en matière de conservation va de pair avec leur inscription nationale : la mise en œuvre d’agendas pour partie exogènes n’est pas incompatible avec l’affirmation d’un périmètre des compétences de l’Etat. En d’autres termes, notre hypothèse consiste à penser l’action de ces élites comme participant certes de la transnationalisation de l’action publique, mais également de l’affirmation de l’Etat qui reste au centre du jeu, malgré ses faibles capacités. De manière a priori contre-intuitive, le processus de domination étatique peut se poursuivre sous un régime d’aide, lequel peut même donner lieu à un (re)déploiement de la souveraineté de l’EtatMozambique is a donor darling since independence in 1975, and more particularly since the Peace Agreement in 1992. As far as nature conservation is concerned, international donors take part to policymaking, including law making and daily management of national parks. Policymaking is thus transnational: narrations, funding and exogenous actors underline it. This work analyses this phenomenon at the top of the state, that is taking specifically into consideration administrative elites working in the tourism ministry (which is in charge of conservation matters) and in two national parks (Gorongosa and Limpopo). Thanks to a sociological study of policymaking, we show how Mozambican elites are located in a grey zone: they respond to donors (such as the World Bank), which pay them, but they are at the same time bound to the party-state Frelimo, at the head of the country ever since independence. Their mastery of donors’ worldviews goes together with the affirmation of a state’s perimeter of competences. In other words, our hypothesis considers these elites as taking part to the transnationalisation of policymaking, but simultaneously as asserting the state as a central actor, in spite of its weak capacities. In a counter-intuitive way, the state domination process can take place in an aid regime, which can even give birth to a (re)deployment of state sovereignty

Full textAbstract:
À partir du début du vingtième siècle, la nature et l’aventure ont été utilisées par intervenants des milieux d’éducation et d’intervention psychosociale (Gass, Gillis, & Russell, 2012; Miles & Priest, 1999; Russell & Hendee, 2000; Tucker & Norton, 2013). Principalement réalisés auprès des groupes ayant des visées éducatives et thérapeutiques, des effets ont été observés sur les individus prenant part à ces programmes aux plans personnel et interpersonnel, notamment sur la perception de soi (Whittington, 2006), l’efficacité personnelle (Ronalds & Allen-Craig, 2008; Török, Kökönyei, Károlyi, Ittzés, & Tomcsányi, 2006), les habiletés sociales et le leadership (Sibthorp, 2003; Stott & Hall, 2003). Ces effets ont mis en valeur la pertinence de ce type d’intervention. Certains éléments sous-jacents aux effets répertoriés ont été identifiés, dont l’importance du groupe dans l’expérience des participants (Deane & Harré, 2014; Scheinfeld, Rochlen, & Buser, 2011), mais il reste encore beaucoup de chemin à parcourir pour comprendre la place que le groupe occupe au sein des expériences de nature et d’aventure. Réputés pour permettre l’examen approfondi des processus s’opérant dans les groupes, les facteurs d’aide (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005) constituent un cadre conceptuel qui ouvre à cette possibilité. Définissant les processus qui agissent au sein d’un groupe comme sous-jacents aux bénéfices individuels retirés par les membres, ce cadre conceptuel permet de comprendre ce que vivent les participants lors d’expériences en contexte de nature et d’aventure. Cette recherche de nature qualitative, menée auprès de 23 personnes provenant d’un milieu collégial, vise à cerner les facteurs d’aide agissant dans un programme à caractère éducatif se déroulant en contexte de nature et d’aventure. Cet objectif général se décline en deux objectifs spécifiques : 1) Identifier quels sont les facteurs d’aide qui émergent en intervention de groupe en contexte de nature et d’aventure et 2) déterminer quelle est leur importance relative, selon la perspective des participants. Les résultats obtenus démontrent une forte présence de la majorité des facteurs d’aide suggérés par Yalom et Leszcz (2005). Les apprentissages interpersonnels, les techniques de socialisation et la cohésion se retrouvent parmi les plus importants. En second lieu, l’altruisme, l’apprentissage par imitation et le partage d’information sont observés. Dans une moindre importance, il est question de la récapitulation corrective de la famille, la catharsis, l’espoir et les facteurs existentiels. Cette importance relative des différents facteurs d’aide pourrait être attribuable à la nature éducative du groupe et l’absence de problématique vécue par les participants. Les résultats indiquent également que le fait de se retrouver en nature, de réaliser des activités qui nécessitent de déployer des stratégies d’adaptation personnelles et de devoir surpasser ses craintes face à de multiples défis ont eu un effet catalyseur sur l’action des facteurs d’aide. Ces résultats font écho aux éléments déjà reconnus au sein des programmes réalisés en contexte de nature et d’aventure, tels que l’expérimentation du défi et du succès par l’entremise de la prise de risque, la dissonance et l’adaptation et la relation entre les intervenants et les membres du groupe (McKenzie, 2003; Panicucci, 2007; Priest, 1999a; Russell & Phillips-Miller, 2002). Le choix des facteurs d’aide comme cadre d’analyse apporte un éclairage nouveau en ce qui concerne la place centrale qu’occupe le groupe dans les interventions en contexte de nature et d’aventure. En ce sens, les résultats de cette thèse ont un caractère novateur. Au sein de la littérature, peu de liens ont été dressés entre les facteurs d’aide et les interventions en contexte de nature et d’aventure (Gass et al., 2012; Williams, 2000). D’autre part, les études sur les facteurs d’aide ont majoritairement été réalisées dans des milieux d’intervention traditionnels et auprès de populations clinique et d’âge adulte (Shechtman, 2003; Shechtman, Bar-el, & Hadar, 1997; Yalom & Leszcz, 2005) tandis que cette étude doctorale a été réalisée en contexte de nature et d’aventure auprès de jeunes adultes. Cette thèse fait la démonstration que les facteurs d’aide peuvent se manifester dans différentes conditions, ce qui laisse envisager des avenues de recherche futures en travail social.Since the early twentieth century, natural outdoor and adventure settings have been used in education and psychosocial intervention (Gass, Gillis, & Russell, 2012; Miles & Priest, 1999; Russell & Hendee, 2000; Tucker & Norton, 2013). Predominantly utilized by groups with educational and therapeutic aims, some effects on individuals taking part in those programs with personal and interpersonal plans have been reported, notably on selfperception (Whittington, 2006), self-efficacy (Ronalds & Allen-Craig, 2008; Török, Kökönyei, Károlyi, Ittzés, & Tomcsányi, 2006), social skills and leadership (Sibthorp, 2003; Stott & Hall, 2003). These effects demonstrate the relevance of this type of intervention. Certain underlying elements of reported effects have been identified, such as the importance of the group in the experience of participants (Deane & Harré, 2014; Scheinfeld, Rochlen, & Buser, 2011), but there is much left to be understood about the group’s place in natural outdoor and adventure experiences. Considered to allow in-depth examination of operating processes in groups, the Helping Factors model developed by Yalom et Leszcz (2005) provides a conceptual framework that is open to possibility. Defining the processes acting within a group as underlying the individual benefits taken away by members, this conceptual framework permits an understanding of what participants encounter in experiences in natural outdoor and adventure settings. Conducted with 23 college students, this qualitative research aims to identify the active Helping Factors in an educational program that takes place in natural outdoor and adventure settings. This general objective can be broken down into two specific objectives: 1) To identify which Helping Factors emerge in group interventions in experiences in natural outdoor and adventure settings; and (2) to determine their relative importance, according to the perspectives of the participants. The results obtained demonstrate a strong presence of the majority of the Helping Factors proposed by Yalom and Leszcz (2005). Interpersonal Learning, Development of Socializing Techniques and Cohesiveness are found to be among the most important. Secondarily, Altruism, Imitative Behavior and Imparting Information are found. Of lesser importance are Corrective Recapitulation of the Primary Family Group, Catharsis, Hope and Existential Factors. The relative importance of different Helping Factors could be attributable to the educational nature of the group and the absence of problems experienced by the participants. The results equally indicate that the fact of being in nature, of carrying out activities that require personal coping strategies and experimenting with challenge and success through risk-taking have a catalytic effect on the occurrence of Helping Factors. These results resonate with elements that are already recognized in programs implemented in the context of natural outdoor and adventure settings, such as experimenting with challenge and success through risk-taking, adaptive dissonance and the relationships between stakeholders and members of the group (McKenzie, 2003; Panicucci, 2007; Priest, 1999a; Russell & Phillips-Miller, 2002). The choice of Helping Factors as an analytical framework brings new light to the central position that the group occupies in interventions in natural outdoor and adventure settings. In this sense, the results of this thesis are breaking new ground. Within the literature, few links have been made between Helping Factors and interventions in natural outdoor and adventure settings (Gass et al., 2012; Williams, 2000). Furthermore, studies on Helping Factors have been predominantly carried out in traditional intervention environments and with clinical and adult populations (Shechtman, 2003; Shechtman, Bar-el, & Hadar, 1997; Yalom & Leszcz, 2005), whereas this doctoral study focuses on young adults in natural outdoor and adventure settings. This thesis demonstrates that Helping Factors can occur within different conditions, pointing to possible future avenues of research in social work.

Full textAbstract:
In terms of technology, BIM is also part of the worldwide change Industry 4.0, which in essence is the trend toward automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes. Generative design is an iterative process that involves a program that will generate a certain number of outputs that meet certain constraints, so that a designer is able to fine tune the feasible project by changing minimal and maximal values of an interval in which a variable of the program meets the set of constraints, in order to reduce or augment the number of outputs to choose from. The initial idea of this thesis work was to manipulate few of the most basic geometric elements in order to get a complex parametric shape inspired from the honeycomb as the natures perfectly generated the element. This preliminary idea, together with the ambition to use this transformation for a façade system in a structural building led us to a series of decisions to try and connect two “worlds”, in the sense that we have a CAD environment that lets us create the geometry and a BIM environment where everything is represented by a specific level of information. This geometry is given a specific set of rules that drive and manipulate each of the elements it contains in a certain fashion. This methodology, as well as the communication and the interaction between the software adopted and their programming environments, is what makes the generative design possible. This result from the Grasshopper algorithm is then being created in the CAD environment in Rhinoceros3D, which then can be opened through Rhino.Inside.Revit and give us a direct real-time preview in the BIM environment in Revit. Through a long series of testing and experimenting with the geometry, we get to a point where we have a functional algorithm that creates and manipulates the geometry, in order to foster many design opportunities for structural and architectural designers.

Ce travail est bati sur trois axes principaux: 1) une etude bibliographique detaillee et synthetique qui nous a permis: i) de definir un triplet de criteres specifique a chacune des classes planctoniques envisagees creant ainsi un outil qui nous a ete tres utile dans ce travail, ii) de dresser un classement de la qualite nutritionnelle du plancton en utilisant comme indice la somme des acides gras polyinsatures (agpi), iii) de recueillir quelques elements sur la transformation de la matiere organique dans la chaine trophique et sur son devenir dans la colonne d'eau. 2) une etude de la matiere organique particulaire presente dans la zone euphotique utilisant le descripteur acide gras. En mer celtique nous avons etudie 3 sites et nous avons constate plus particulierement que le site stratifie presente entre la surface et la thermocline la plus forte quantite d'agpi dans la fraction 100-200 micrometres ce qui nous a aide a comprendre quelques mecanismes de recrutement de la zone. Parmi les 4 sites etudies en mer d'irlande celui de la cote galloise, sujet a l'eutrophication, ou l'espece phaeocystis pouchetii est presque la seule presente, montre quelques paradoxes. Ceci nous a conduit a une etude plus approfondie de la question dans la derniere partie. 3) une etude de synthese nous a permis de developper un modele mathematique de reconnaissance de la composition en classes planctoniques d'un melange, d'etudier des processus intervenant au cours du transfert d'acides gras dans le reseau trophique pour essayer de suivre l'evolution de la composition en acides gras d'un materiel qui quitte la zone euphotique

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to examine the meaning and the morality of
suicide through the history of philosophy. To this aim, firstly, the historical
evaluation of the concept of suicide is explained in detail. The effects of
sociological and the religious transformations on the meaning of suicide are
analyzed. Afterwards, the moral theories about suicide are discussed. The
anti-suicide arguments about suicide in the history of philosophy are
classified under three parts mainly. These anti-suicide arguments &mdashthat suicide is a violation of our duties to God, to the society and to the self &mdash
are handled and explained in detail with their counter arguments. Then, the problem of the permissibility of suicide is analyzed and whether suicide is morally permitted under some conditions or it is absolutely forbidden is discussed. Next, the philosophical meaning of suicide in literature is investigated by analyzing the meanings that are given to suicide by Dante iv and Dostoevsky. In the conclusion, a brief summary is given, and the moral theories about suicide are criticized. ,

Full textAbstract:
Dans le domaine du Traitement Automatique du Langage, plusieurs études ont été menées afin de regrouper des termes sémantiquement proches. Le problème linguistique sous-jacent est celui de la catégorisation. Nous montrons ce que la méthode distributionnelle et la justification inspirée par la sémiotique peuvent apporter à ce sujet. Nous avons choisi de traiter ce problème du point de vue de l'usage, car l'usage est dans les textes, qui sont les seules données objectives qu'un ordinateur puisse recevoir en entrée. Nous reprenons l'idée harrissienne qui suppose que l'examen de mots et de leurs fonctionnements peut servir de base pour des travaux sur la sémantique de ces mots. L'analyse de corpus que nous proposons montre que le fait de ne pas présupposer l'existence des classes permet de faire émerger des classes originales liées à l'usage, et qui constituent une base sur laquelle pourront s'appuyer de prochains travaux de constructions de ressources lexicales numériquesIn Natural Language Processing area, several researches were carried out in order to gather semantically close terms. The linguistic underlying problem is the categorization. We demonstrate what the distributive method and the justification inspired by the semiotic can bring to this topic. We chose to approach this issue from the viewpoint of the use. The use is, at least partially, in the texts which are the only objectives data a computer can receive as input. We suppose, according to Harris, that the study of words and their operations can be used as foundation for researches on the semantic of these words. The corpus analysis we present shows that not to suppose existing classes allows the emergence of original, fuzzy and unstable classes, which are related to the use. Thus we believe we defined a first theoretical basis on which coming researches on the constitution of digital lexical resources can be based

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse met en avant l’amélioration du processus de recherche d’information sur le Web par l’emploi des classes d’objets. Les disfonctionnements des outils de recherche proviennent principalement du fait pour le traitement automatique du corpus on a recours à des techniques linguistiques statistiques. Les imprécisions du découpage en mots, l’élimination erronée des mots vides sémantiquement, la polysémie des langues ou le figement sont autant de problèmes dont la solution réside dans l’utilisation d’une nouvelle technologie linguistique, le modèle des classes d’objets. Nous étudions la formalisation informatique des classes d'objets linguistiques, en réalisant une comparaison des notions de classe d’objets en linguistique et en informatique (programmation orientée objet). Dans la représentation informatique des classes – sous forme de bases de données ou fichiers XML – nous exploitons également les hiérarchies que les classes forment à travers les relations d’héritage. Nous nous intéressons aussi à la représentation informatique des domaines ainsi qu’à leur hiérarchie. Nous proposons l’emploi des classes d’objets dans l’amélioration du positionnement des pages Web, dans la reformulation de la requête ainsi que dans l’indexation des fichiers. L’utilisation des classes d’objets dans l’amélioration du positionnement se réalise par le traitement sémantique du contenu qui se sert des dictionnaires électroniques classes d’objets. Le traitement automatique de la requête se fait en ciblant le domaine de l’interrogation à l’aide de la hiérarchie des classes d’objets. Le prototype de logiciel que nous avons réalisé est illustré à l’aide des exemples. Nous analysons ensuite l’indexation « intelligente » des documents, basée sur le modèle des classes d’objets. Son unité d’indexation est non plus le mot mais la structure minimale d’indexation, extraite du schéma d’arguments. Nous montrons ensuite les avantages que ce type d’indexation fournit à la recherche d’informationThe aim of this thesis is the study of the improvement of the information retrieval process on the Internet, using a new linguistic theory of the semantico-syntactical classes. The main linguistic problems confronting the information retrieval are the polymorphism and the polysemy of natural languages. Same topic documents use different expressions, while there are several keyword variants for the same given topic. Due to search keys ambiguity, the intended sense of the request is not always reflected by the retrieved documents. The implementation in informatics of the linguistic concept of classes has to go through a first phase where a comparison is drawn between these notions in computer science and in linguistics. We also suggest the use of hierarchy of classes as well as of domains and of domains’hierarchies. The classes are structured in databases and the hierarchies are encoded in graphs. The importance of the document ranking draws our interest towards the use of the linguistic classes in automatic semantic content analysis in order to improve document’s estimated relevance. We show how automatic query reformulation and expansion based on semantico-syntactical classes improves the retrieval by focusing the process on the request’s inferred topic and by adding to the initial keywords other relevant concepts. The software we developed uses the hierarchy of the classes to detect the request’s topic; we then show how to use the dictionary based on linguistic classes to expand the query. We show examples on how cross-lingual query expansion benefits from the use of linguistic classes. Since the linguistic problems of the information retrieval are also rooted in the document indexing, we suggest and analyse a new indexing technique that has semantics at its core. The index entry is no longer the decontextualized and therefore meaningless word but a new concept of minimal indexing structure issued from the way predicates are described in the linguistic classes’theory

Previous issue date: 2010-10-06Introduction: The Bolton analysis, analysis that quantifies the tooth size is an important reference for professionals seeking appropriate orthodontic finishing. Objective: The objective of this study is to verify that there is discrepancy between the subjects with normal occlusion and malocclusion Class I and Class II division 1 belonging to the selected sample, compared to the values reported by Bolton and also check difference related to sexual dimorphism. Methods: 3 groups of 35 pairs of plaster casts each, separated by the type of occlusion, pertaining to the program of graduate orthodontics at the Methodist University of Sao Paulo were measured with a digital caliper at its greatest distance mesiodistal since 1st right molar to 1st molar left, the upper and lower arches, with permanent teeth. The values were tabulated and the proportion of Bolton has been applied. Results: Respectively for groups 1, 2 and 3, the total ratio found was 90.36 (SD ± 1.70), 91.17 (SD ± 2.58) and 90.76 (SD ± 2.45) and the anterior ratio was 77.73 (SD ± 2.39), 78.01 (SD ± 2.66) and 77.30 (SD ± 2.65). Conclusion: there was no sexual dimorphism or statistically significant difference compared to the values suggested by Bolton.
Introdução: A análise de Bolton, análise que quantifica o tamanho dentário, é uma referência importante para profissionais que buscam finalizações ortodônticas adequadas. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar se há discrepância entre os indivíduos com oclusão normal natural e maloclusões de Classe I e de Classe II divisão 1 de Angle pertencentes a amostra selecionada, em relação aos valores encontrados por Bolton, bem como verificar também se há dimorfismo sexual. Metodologia: 3 grupos contendo 35 pares e modelos em gesso cada, separados pelo tipo de oclusão, pertencentes ao acervo do programa de pós-graduação em Ortodontia da Universidade Metodista de São Paulo foram medidos com paquímetro digital em sua maior distância mésiodistal desde 1º molar direito a 1º molar esquerdo, dos arcos superiores e inferiores, com dentição permanente. Os valores foram tabulados e a proporção de Bolton foi aplicada. Resultados: Respectivamente para os grupos 1, 2 e 3, a proporção total encontrada foi de 90,36 (DP±1,70), 91,17 (DP±2,58) e 90,76 (DP±2,45), e a proporção anterior foi de 77,73 (DP±2,39), 78,01 (DP±2,66) e 77,30 (DP±2,65). Conclusão: não houve dimorfismo sexual nem diferença estatisticamente significante comparando os valores aos sugeridos por Bolton.

Full textAbstract:
The Atlantic coast striped bass fisheries collapsed in the late 1970's due to recruitment overfishing and poor habitat quality. Recovery of the fisheries in 1995 resulted from protection of mature females, favorable environmental conditions, and several years of strong recruitment. Today, the striped bass stock is overfished. The purpose of this study was to examine recruitment characteristics of juvenile striped bass during the pre- and post-recovery periods through (1) a comparison of mortality and hatch-date distribution between periods, and (2) to examine growth metrics of individuals from the post-recovery year classes. Lengths and otolith-derived daily ages from juvenile striped bass representing three year classes (2011, 2016, and 2017) from the James and Rappahannock subestuaries of the Chesapeake Bay were used to develop subestuary-specific age-length keys. Daily ages of juvenile striped bass from 32 year classes (1986 to 2017) spanning the pre- and post-recovery periods were projected from the age-length keys. Together with count data, the projected daily ages were used to estimate instantaneous daily mortality rates (Z, day-1) for each year class. Although daily Z estimates were relatively constant among the 32 year classes, mean hatch dates shifted earlier today (1996 to 2017) than prior to 1995. Within the post-recovery year classes, daily growth in length and weight was examined along with body condition (Fulton's K). All growth metrics varied by year class and subestuary, but daily growth rates and body condition were inversely related. The results of this study indicate that recruitment dynamics of juvenile striped bass in the Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay have changed over time, and within the post-recovery year classes, those changes varied among fish from the James and Rappahannock subestuaries.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally schools in the South African education system follow a paper-based approach. lCT use as teaching and leaming tool expanded in developing countries during the last decade, especially with regard to pedagogical practices in educational environments. The aim of this study was to investigate the lCT pedagogical practices of science teachers in grade 8 classes through a SD analysis se of the
Second Information and Technology in Education Studies (SITES) 2006 data. South African science teachers formed the basis of the dataset for this study. Questionnaires were submitted to grade 8 science teachers of approximately 504 South African schools. During October 2006 the data was collected through a stratified and randomly selection method. In this SDA the pedagogical use of lCTs in grade 8 science education was explored by means of percentages and frequencies. Spearman's effect sizes were used to identify meaningful correlations between variables in an attempt to determine the contribution of lCT towards science education. The study found that the pedagogical uses of lCT in grade 8 natural science can contribution towards science education although the pedagogical uses of leT are way below the expected standard. Results indicate that there are strong practically significant correlations between leT skills and specific abilities and skills (i.e. learning motivation, learn at own pace, communication skills, info handling skills, collaborative skills and self-esteem) that narrow the achievement gap experienced in science education in South Africa. Promotion of these abilities and skills with the support of lCT skills indirectly narrow the achievement gap that may be associated poor grade 12 science learners. Finally a framework is proposed which apply lCT skills to address the abilities and skills (i.e. learning motivation, learn at own pace, communication skills, info handling skills, collaborative skills and self-esteem) that can narrow the achievement gap, experienced in grade 8 natural science. Although this study focused on grade 8 natural science, lCT skills can possibly be used to narrow the achievement gap for all school science curricula in South African schools.Thesis (M.Ed.

O objetivo deste estudo cefalométrico foi avaliar as alterações no perfil facial decorrentes do crescimento natural e induzidas pelo uso do aparelho de Herbst no tratamento da má oclusão Classe II divisão 1 de Angle. A amostra foi constituída por dois grupos, com idades óssea e cronológica equivalentes, e, portanto, pertencentes aos estágios 1 e 2 de maturação esquelética (CVM). O grupo experimental foi constituído por 20 pacientes (12 meninos e 8 meninas), com média de idade inicial de 9,3 anos, que receberam tratamento com o aparelho de Herbst por 7 meses. O grupo controle foi constituído por 16 indivíduos (9 meninos e 7 meninas), com média de idade inicial de 9,1 anos, não tratados ortodonticamente e com características esqueléticas e dentárias semelhantes ao grupo experimental, derivados dos arquivos de documentações do Burlington Growth Centre da Faculdade de Odontologia, Universidade de Toronto, Canadá. Para avaliação das mudanças no perfil facial foram utilizadas telerradiografias em norma lateral iniciais e após 7 meses de tratamento no grupo experimental, e no grupo controle as radiografias foram tomadas anualmente e convertidas em 7 meses para efeitos de comparação. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise estatística, realizada com teste t de Student, com nível de significância de 5%. Os resultados indicaram que o aparelho de Herbst promoveu uma redução significante da convexidade do perfil facial esquelético e de tecidos moles, aumento significante do ângulo mentolabial, além de demonstrar tendência à abertura do ângulo nasolabial. Alterações estatisticamente significantes como o aumento da altura facial anterior inferior, a retrusão do lábio superior e a protrusão do lábio inferior, assim como o aumento em comprimento deste, também foram observadas. Pode-se concluir que o uso do aparelho de Herbst induziu efeito favorável...
The purpose of this cephalometric study was to evaluate the facial profile changes due to natural growth and induced by the Herbst appliance on treatment of Angle’s Class II division 1 malocclusion. The sample consisted of two groups, matched according to osseous and chronological ages, and therefore classified as stages 1 and 2 of skeletal maturity (CVM). The experimental group consisted of 20 patients (12 boys and 8 girls), initial mean age of 9.3 years, which were treated with the Herbst appliance for 7 months. The control group consisted of 16 individuals (9 boys and 7 girls), initial mean age of 9.1 years, not treated orthodontically and with skeletal and dental characteristics similar to the experimental group, originally from Burlington Growth Centre, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto, Canada. For the analysis of facial profile changes, initial and 7-month treatment follow-up lateral cephalograms were obtained for the experimental group, and for the control group the radiographs were taken annually and converted to 7 months for comparison. The data obtained were submitted to statistical analysis, performed with Student’s t test, at significance level of 5%. The results showed that the use of the Herbst appliance promoted a significant reduction of skeletal and soft tissue facial profile convexity, a significant increase of the mentolabial angle, as well as demonstrating tendency to open the nasolabial angle. Statistically significant alterations as the increase of the anterior facial height, the upper lip retrusion and lower lip protrusion, as well as the increase on its length, were also observed. It can be concluded that the Herbst appliance had a favorable effect on facial profile change, which became less convex, by acting mainly on the lips and the mentolabial areas.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the use of discourse markers (DMs) in the speech of Chinese non-native speakers (NNSs) of English and native speakers (NSs), using corpus methodologies, the 'Linear Unit Grammar' analysis (Sinclair and Mauranen 2006) and text-based analyses. It reports that the DMs for analysis, 'like', 'oh', 'well', 'you know', 'I mean', 'you see', 'I think' and 'now', occur more frequently in the dialogic genres than in the monologic genres extracted from the three corpora, SECCL, MICASE and ICE-GB. The co-occurrence of DMs is taken as evidence to determine the categories for discussion with the suggested functions being secondary interpretations. Surprisingly, there are similarities in the use of DMs between Chinese NNSs and NSs. For the differences, some require NSs to become more tolerant and inclusive of the versions of English and some require pedagogical interventions for the Chinese NNSs. This thesis demonstrates that the use of DMs correlates with the genre, context, type of activity and identity of the speaker. All such factors affect the speakers' choice of a DM to use when giving priority to discourse organisation, fluency, the engagement of the listeners, the construction of the speaker‟s persona and the creation of solidarity.

De jure and De facto Rigidity in the General Terms for Natural Kinds”. This paper will argue that one of rigidity’s central problems in general terms for natural kinds, is consequence of not distinguishing between de jure rigid terms and de facto rigid terms on these cases. The paper claims that necessary identity sentences defended by Kripke in Naming and Necessity consider the term’s occurrence to designate a same kind (kinds which share the transworld relation of being one same kind) through two rigidity terms, a de jure one, and a de facto one. This allows to explain the problems that arise from the notion of rigidity in the case of general terms for natural kinds, since it maintains the causal connection requirements, while at the same time it enunciates the identity criterion between these kinds, through the essential property(ies) of the abovementioned kind.En este escrito se argumentará que uno de los problemas centrales de la rigidez en los términos generales para clases naturales es consecuencia de no distinguir entre términos rígidos de jure y términos rígidos de facto en dichos casos. Se sostiene que los enunciados de identidad necesarios defendidos por Kripke en Naming and Necessity consideran la ocurrencia de términos que designan a una misma clase (clases que poseen entre sí la relación transmundana de ser una misma clase) a través de dos términos rígidos, uno de jure y uno de facto. Esto permite explicar los problemas que la noción de rigidez plantea en los casos de los términos generales para clases naturales, pues mantiene los requerimientos de conexión causal y a su vez enuncia el criterio de identidad entre tales clases, a través de la(s) propiedad(es) esencial(es) de dicha clase.

Full textAbstract:
It has become vital to identify antibacterial drug candidates with novel modes of action to address the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. One way of rapidly accessing novel antibiotics is to revisit natural product classes that have previously been shown to possess antibacterial activity, but have never been clinically exploited. The recent introduction of the antibiotics daptomycin, retapamulin, and fidaxomicin to the clinic is a proof of concept that revisiting known of novel natural product scaffolds could achieve clinical benefit. In this thesis, the benzoisochromanequinone (BIQ) and dithiolopyrrolone (DTP) classes of natural products were revisited. In chapter three, the BIQ class actinorhodin was subject to a detailed biological characterization. γ-actinorhodin was found to possess several requisite properties of a useful antibacterial drug candidate; it possessed potent bactericidal anti-Gram-positive activity, which included activity against MRSA and VISA strains (MIC90 of 2 μg/ml), was found to exhibit selective toxicity against prokaryotes, and displayed low resistance potential in vitro. Mode of action studies showed that γ-actinorhodin acts on the bacterial membrane in a manner distinct from other membrane-perturbing agents in clinical use. Preliminary studies of safety and efficacy of γ-actinorhodin in vivo showed potential promise for treatment staphylococcal infection. In chapter four of this thesis, the DPT thiolutin was studied, with an emphasis on understanding its mode of antibacterial action. In E. coli, thiolutin demonstrated preferential inhibition of RNA synthesis in agreement with earlier studies. In S. aureus however, while potent bacteriostatic activity was noted, thiolutin showed an unusual profile in radiolabel incorporation experiments with no inhibitory effect on any macromolecular biosynthetic pathway. Genetic analysis of mutants resistant to thiolutin revealed mutations in the S.aureus thioredoxin and in E. coli glutaredoxin redox systems components suggesting the involvement of these systems in the reductive activation of thiolutin. Inhibition of E. coli transcription and translation could not be detected in vitro, even in the presence of reducing agent suggested that RNA polymerase is not the primary target of thiolutin. The finding from this study and recent publication (Chan et al. 2017) suggest that DTPs exerts their antibacterial activity via a novel mode of action. In summary, the findings of this study with thiolutin and γ-actinorhodin underscore the utility of revisiting unexploited natural product in the search for antibacterials with novel mode of action.

Jensen, Anna M. "Modernity and the Good Death : Heidegger and Jose Clemente Orozco's Epic of American Civilization /." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2009. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/1905.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis will analyze José Clemente Orozco's mural The Epic of American Civilization in terms of the problem of suffering. It will focus specifically on two panels, “Human Sacrifice in Ancient Times” and “Human Sacrifice in Modern Times.” This analysis will comprehend not only the works of art within their historical context, but also within Martin Heidegger's philosophical discussion of the question of suffering. Heidegger presents a unique perspective on the question of human suffering when he writes that Western humans have forgotten how to “dwell.” This dwelling is defined by Heidegger's novel conception of ontology as relational rather than individualistic. According to this theory, humans must identify themselves through their associations, both with other people and with things. Without these associations, humans are not be able to escape the anxiety associated with suffering and death brought about by the isolating effects of Western modernity. A discussion of Mexico provides a practical example of the complexities of the question of dwelling in Western thought. At the time Orozco was painting his mural, Mexican identity was rapidly fragmenting. In the decades after the Mexican Revolution, many artists wrestled with the concept of Mexican identity, and it was in this time of flux that Orozco offered his interpretation of the cyclical progress of humanity. The two paintings depict two forms of suffering, which this paper will refer to as a “good” and a “bad” death. This nomenclature is not strictly accurate as neither form could be said to be desirable in any concrete way. Consequently a Rivera painting (“Revolution – Germination”) will also be presented that suggests an ideal death. However, the focus will remain on Orozco's paintings. Of course, in his own paintings Orozco is not endorsing the act of human sacrifice. However, because of differences in their composition, they suggest not only a cyclic pattern to human history, but also a downward progression where the persistent problems of violence and suffering in human societies have grown more difficult and complicated since the advent of modernity. As Orozco's paintings seem to suggest and Heidegger will argue, the solution to the isolating ‘bad death’ is learning to live relationally. These relationships comprehend the social and the cultural, but the focus will be on the ecological and the divine, because, as several critics will argue, these are the greatest deficiencies in modernity.

Full textAbstract:
Because cisterns are exposed to the environment via their direct attachment to catchment surfaces, cistern water quality is often poor. In the U.S. Virgin Islands cisterns are involved in supplying the water needs for private homes, hotels, businesses and public housing, making them subject to the mandates of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. This study compares the results of the occurrence of various water quality indicators in Private Residential, Public Housing, and Hotels and Guest House cisterns in the U.S. Virgin Islands in a side-by-side analysis. Forty-seven separate independent variables were created and tested for correlation, of which only the rate at which chlorination was applied was significant. A high degree of correlation was found to exist between total and fecal coliforms. A moderate, but still significant correlation between the coliform and the heterotrophic levels in the cistern was also noted. There was no correlation between any of the bacterial indicators studied and the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results show, depending upon on the type and amount of chlorination received, different bacterial indicators will predominate and that there is a logical succession from one to the next with chlorination. On the unchlorinated end of the scale, normally associated with privateresidential homes, there is a correlation between the heterotrophic bacteria and total coliform. On the other end where chlorination is constant, normally associated with public water supply systems, correlation is between total coliform and fecal coliform. The proportion at which these indicators occur is a function of the diligence at which chlorination takes place. Regression analysis showed that the heterotrophs and total coliforms were the most sensitive to chlorination while the streptococci and fecal coliform were the most resistant. Thus, what is seen is fecal coliform unmasking based upon chlorination pattern. Depending upon whether the cistern is a private or public water supply which is mandated to be treated, an appropriate indicator system based upon the likelihood of treatment can be suggested. For unchlorinated private residential home cisterns the prime indicator should be the heterotrophic plate count and for chlorinated systems the take-action organism should be the fecal coliform. P. aeruginosa should be tested for in both domestic cistern water supplies and public cistern water supply systems.

Este estudo prospectivo foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o padrão rotacional das estruturas dentofaciais natural e induzido pelo tratamento com o extrabucal de Thurow modificado. Os pacientes tratados tinham entre 7 e 10 anos de idade, leucodermas, portadores de mordida aberta anterior, má oclusão de Classe II divisão 1 com tendência a crescimento vertical e apresentavam implantes metálicos na maxila e mandíbula, conforme proposto por Bjork15 (1955), sendo utilizado para comparação um grupo de pacientes com má oclusão Classe II divisão 1 de Angle, sem tratamento e em igual número, do Burlington Growth Center, Departamento de Ortodontia da Faculdade de Odontologia, Universidade de Toronto, Canadá. Foram realizadas radiografias cefalométricas em norma lateral iniciais e após 1 ano de tratamento no grupo experimental e no grupo controle as radiografias foram tomadas aos 6, 9 e 12 anos de idade. Os traçados foram escaneados e dezenove pontos cefalométricos marcados no programa Radiocef Studioâ, aonde foram traçadas linhas, planos e realizadas as medidas cefalométricas tradicionais e as utilizando os pontos fiduciais. A análise dos dados obtidos mostrou que o uso do aparelho extrabucal de Thurow modificado resultou em acentuada rotação horária do plano palatino e rotação anti-horária da linha de implante maxilar, enquanto que o efeito do crescimento natural havia sido de leve rotação horária da linha de implante e estabilidade do plano palatino; o padrão de rotação mandibular decorrente do crescimento natural mostrou tendência de rotação anti-horária e no grupo experimental houve aumento desse padrão; e em relação ao plano oclusal, houve aumento da inclinação do plano oclusal superior e diminuição na inclinação do plano oclusal inferior.

This prospective study aimed to evaluate the natural rotational pattern of the dentofacial structures and the one induced by the treatment with the modified Thurow appliance. The treated patients had from 7 to 10 years old, were leucoderm and presented an anterior openbite and a Class II division 1 malocclusion with a vertical growth pattern. In all of the patients there were metallic implants inserted in the maxilla and mandible, as proposed by Björk15 (1955). An equivalent control group of Class II division 1 patients with no treatment was used and collected at the Burlington Growth Center, Orthodontic Department of the Dental School, University of Toronto, Canada. Lateral cephalometric radiographs at the onset and after an one year treatment were taken for the experimental group, and at the ages of 6, 9 and 12 years for the control group. The tracings were scanned, 19 cephalometric points, being 6 fiducial ones, were identified by the use of Radiocef Studio ® software, lines and planes were traced, and cephalometric measurements were performed. The data obtained showed that the use of the modified Thurow appliance resulted into great clockwise rotation of the palatal plane and counterclockwise rotation of the maxillary implant line, while the natural growth effect was of slightly clockwise rotation of the implant line and stabilization of the palatal plane; the mandibular rotational pattern showed a tendency of counterclockwise rotation in the non treated patients and in the experimental group there was an increase in this pattern, and in relation to the oclusal plane, there was an increase in the tipping of the upper oclusal plane and decrease of the lower oclusal plane. It can be concluded that the use of the modified Thurow appliance resulted into correction of the Class II open bite malocclusion by a clockwise rotation of the palatal plane, counterclockwise...

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the production and consumption of nature in middle-class American holidays. Focusing on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it follows the creation of new symbols and practices associated with Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas. In each of these holidays, members of the middle class used nature to narrate their new identity as Americans belonging less to local, regional, or ethnic communities and more to the nuclear family and the nation. In Thanksgiving, the turkey became an important symbol in the antebellum era, the same period in which the Easter rabbit was born, the Fourth of July picnic became popular, and the Christmas tree rose to prominence. These trends resulted from the middle-class desire to make the home an idealized private life complete with its own rituals and symbols that separated it from the public life of the street. While the middle class retreated into its imagined private sphere, it did so while simultaneously claiming that their families represented the core building blocks of the nation. By conflating family and nation, the middle class generated a large demand for the physical goods that made such symbolic meaning manifest--in particular, Thanksgiving turkeys and Christmas trees. Reproducing these plants and animals, however, created agroecological problems, including crop diseases. While middle-class family holidays reinforce the scales of popular culture and mass agriculture, they do so only tenuously.

Full textAbstract:
Previous nonnative-English-speaking teacher (NNEST) research has shown that nonnative speaker (NNS) students' attitudes towards NNESTs improve after exposure to them (Moussu, 2002). Past second language (L2) writing research has found that native speaker (NS) teachers interact with NS and NNS students differently (Thonus, 2002, 2004). Little has been investigated regarding NNESTs in mainstream composition courses that include both NS and NNS students. Also, most past NNEST attitude studies relied exclusively on perception data, without investigating whether or not the expressed perceptions were observed in practice. This study, involving both NS and NNS students and teachers, explored (1) students' attitudes towards composition teachers based on the teacher's NS status, (2) interaction characteristics during individual writing conferences, (3) reflections on expressed attitudes, if any, in actual teacher-student interactions, and (4) student attitude change after exposure to NS and NNS teachers. A questionnaire, distributed to 43 (23 NS and 20 NNS) students in composition classes taught by NS and NNS teachers, explored student attitudes towards teachers. Teacher-student interaction patterns were investigated via 12 (3 NS and 9 NNS) students' video-recorded writing conferences, two each, one with the NS and the other with the NNS teacher. Student attitude change was investigated via post-conference interviews. Several interaction characteristics attributed to the teachers' NS status and the students' linguistic and cultural backgrounds (e.g., turn-taking characteristics, question and advice types, etc.) were identified from the conference data. The questionnaire results showed that teachers' personal traits and teaching styles influenced student attitudes more strongly than NS status. Some student attitudes were found to be only perceptions, not reflected in actual interactions. It was also found that NS students' attitudes towards NNS teachers changed favorably after their conference experience with the NNS teacher. Students consider personally tailored conferences to be most successful, regardless of preconceptions about teachers. The findings that students evaluate and acknowledge teachers based on various factors (e.g., individual teachers' expertise, teaching performance, personality traits, etc.) offer implications for teacher training programs. This study also addresses the issue that NNS students should be treated as individuals, rather than categorized as a general group of NNS students.

Les sites de l'étude sont localisés dans la forêt classée de Dioforongo (Ségou) au sud du Mali. L'objectif de la recherche a été de déterminer les effets de l'aménagement participatif de cette forêt, mis au point par les forestiers avec le concours des populations riveraines d'exploitants. Nous avons tout d'abord réalisé une étude socio-économique portant sur les usages des ligneux et pour préciser les connaissances des populations sur la forêt et le projet d'aménagement. Nous avons également analysé les effets des actions entreprises sur les végétaux ligneux et herbacés. Les résultats obtenus concerne la faible intégration des exploitants à la conception du projet. La production des rejets est bonne ; elle pourrait, de même que la croissance des rejets et la survie des souches, être améliorée par des coupes à des hauteurs plus importantes. La rotation minimale des coupes pour le bois-énergie doit être de six ans. Le comportement de quelques espèces particulièrement prisées (Combretum nigricans, C. Micranthum, C. Glutinosum et Anogeissus leiocarpus) est analysé ; leur gestion spécifique est proposéeThe plots studied in southern Mali are distributed in the Dioforongo forest (Segou). This work has been to define the consequences of participatory maintenance by populations and forest rangers. We firstly made socio-economic surveys about the use of species and test the knowledge of population on the forest and the project. We secondly estimated the effects of lumbering practice on the woody and herbaceous vegetation. The results obtained are concerned with the weak integration of local lumbering community into project conceptualisation. Stump resprouts production is good. However, cutting at higher levels ameliorates the survival and growth of resprouts. The minimal periodicity of cutting for firewood production is six years. The behaviour of some very appreciated species (Combretum nigricans, C. Micranthum, C. Glutinosum and Anogeissus leiocarpus) is analysed

Has the theory of direct reference for general terms ontological consequences or requirements? It has normally been said that general terms should be conceived as rigid designators of natural classes”, but this is a very vague expression. What is a natural class” here? Is it a universal? Is it a class of resembling objects or tropes? It is argued that the theory of direct reference functions better in connection with an ontology of universals. The semantic model actually requires certain type of successful cognitive relation with the referent and it is difficult to explain how such a successful connection could be obtained if there are no universal properties, but only perfect resemblance classes of objects or tropes.¿Hay consecuencias o requerimientos ontológicos que puedan desprendersede la teoría de la referencia directa?
