Muller, Francois Dominicus. "FPGA implementation of an enhanced digital detection algorithm for medium range RFID readers / Francois Dominicus Muller." Thesis, North-West University, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/10394/2643.
Full textAbstract:
The School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering of the North-West University is conducting research about RFID (radio frequency identification) medium range reader systems for an international company, iPico. The focus area of the present research is the development of a robust tag detection algorithm for noisy environments.
During the past three years a digital detection algorithm was developed. This digital detection algorithm delivered significant improvements in detection of RFIDs over its analogue counterpart, especially in noisy environments. However, the digital detection algorithm was found to be very sensitive with regard to data rate deviations.
Although the latter algorithm improved the detection of RFIDs, ghost (absent) tags were now also detected. The objectives of this project are, to develop an enhanced detection algorithm which is less sensitive to frequency deviations and to eliminate the appearance of the so called ghost tags.
The proposed enhanced algorithm will be implemented on a FPGA (field programmable gate array), more specific the Altera Cyclone EP1CT144C6 FPGA.Thesis (M.Ing. (Computer and Electronical Engineering))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009.

Full textAbstract:
In 2013, the Dominican Republic’s highest court ruled to revoke birthright citizenship for over 200,000 Dominicans of Haitian descent. Ruling TC 168-13 prompted dialogue about race and racism in the country, breaking the racial silence that accompanies mestizaje (racial mixture). Scholars viewed this ruling through the lens of “Black denial” whereby Dominicans’ failure to adopt Black identities, despite being largely afrodescendant, fuels the racialization of Haitians as Black. Less evident in examinations of Dominican racial politics are anti-racist and anti-xenophobic organizing. Addressing the gap in scholarship on Dominican blackness, this dissertation project adopts an ethnographic approach to examine how Domicans of Haitian descent, most notably through Reconoci.do, a movement of denationalized youth, as well as the natural hair movement, engage with race. As one of the few well-articulated areas of Dominican society engaged with blackness, the natural hair movement provides a useful counterpoint for examining the intersections between blackness and Haitianess. In this work, I propose that natural hair has the potential to destabilize Haitian racialization yet, concurrently threatens to decouple the anti-racist movement from Dominico-Haitian struggles. These intersections illuminate the complex relationships within the heterogenous anti-racist movement.
Through a historically rooted examination of constructions of race and nation in immigration policies, censuses, and national identity cards, this dissertation asserts that immigration policies were designed to benefit the dominant sugarcane economy at the expense of migrants and thus state efforts in 2014 to address indocumentation continued earlier discriminatory patterns, disproportionately impacting the Haitian diaspora. These practices are best understood as spectacles (De Genova 2013) that produce migrant illegality and, in particular, an inherited illegality for Dominican-born children that violates their constitutional rights to citizenship. Furthermore, the state constructs the population as non-black while publicly undermining anti-racist organizing and this research finds that activists draw on transnational images of blackness to challenge national representations of a modern blackness. Identifying mestizaje and the color continuum as obstacles to organizing, many activists conceptualize blackness as hypodescent, whereby any African ancestry engenders a Black identity. I argue that, while essentialist, this strategy broadens identification with Dominico-Haitians.

Full textAbstract:
The integration of immigrants into host societies has been a topic of longstanding interest in the sociology of migration, whereas the study of transnationalism has only emerged in the last few years. Globalization, fueled by the rapid development of transportation and communication technologies, has been one of the principal factors in the rise of transnationalism. The aim of this study is to clarify the links between the immigrants' integration into the host society and the transnational activities in which they get involved.The initial hypothesis of this study was that immigrants' involvement in narrow transnational activities is linked to their weaker integration into Quebec society. To test this hypothesis, a series of interviews was conducted with members of the Dominican community of Montreal. These Dominicans were involved in varying levels of transnational activities within political, economic, and cultural spheres. The interviews were aimed at determining the integration process experienced by the different interviewees.
The results of this study showed, in contrast to the hypothesized predictions, that involvement in transnational activities was not linked to lesser levels of integration. In fact, the Dominicans involved in the most intensive transnational activities revealed a capacity to integrate into the receiving society as easily as other Dominicans, often showing a greater dynamism in their integration. Involvement in intensive transnational activities seems to show a capacity on the part of some immigrants to grow and develop in two universes at the same time, that of the receiving and that of the sending society.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis addresses some aspects of the breeding biology of Dominican Gulls (Larus dominicanus) in Tasman Bay, Nelson Province, New Zealand. A synopsis of a 10 year (1980-91) nest count and banding programme of chicks is given, which illustrates an apparent reduction in pairs nesting over that period. There were significant changes in food resources available to the gulls in 1987 with the
closure of several rubbish tips and fish offal dumping sites. These closures did not appear to make any difference to mean clutch size and yet the numbers of gulls breeding continued to drop.
In the thesis, I review Lack's hypothesis (1954, 1968) of population regulation and conclude that the hypothesis is unlikely to explain a number of anomalies in the breeding behaviour of local populations of Dominican Gulls. Field work in three relatively small breeding colonies on Rabbit and Bells Islands in the Waimea Inlet near Nelson, is described over two breeding seasons. Sexual dimorphism of adults, pair bonding, and nest site fidelity were studied, together with the recording of egg size and weight, date of laying, clutch size, hatching dates and chick weights. Egg temperature studies were maintained throughout the incubation period. Results indicate that strong pair bonding occurs, and nest site fidelity is developed equally strongly after advantageous sites within the colony have been gained.
There is a hierarchy within the nesting colonies with a gradient of increasing breeding success from the outer perimeter of the site toward the epi-centre of the colony. Nest density plays an important part in breeding success and densities in excess of 350 nest/ha initiate a tension factor within nesting colonies, which leads to parasitism and other behaviour inimical to breeding success. It is high nest densities which may eventually lead to colony abandonment. Nesting colonies develop and wane in a cyclic manner with nest densities appearing to play an important role in the dynamic pattern of the colonies.
Incubation appears to start as soon as the first egg is laid, and mean egg temperatures increase as incubation progresses. Embryonic heat generation can control the rate of cooling of eggs and also the rate by which eggs are restored to full incubation temperature after being uncovered by the incubating parent. Eggs can survive temperatures in excess of 40 degrees C and low temperatures of 20 degrees C during the incubation period and still produce healthy chicks.
Parental investment in the offspring, is not in terms of clutch size, nor is brood reduction attained primarily by asynchronous hatching. Rather, female parents manipulate egg quality within the clutch, and apportion investment between A, Band C eggs depending on body weight of the female and the circumstance of the nesting colony in terms of its cyclical development.
It is concluded that the local populations of Dominican Gulls react in an opportunistic way to the immediate circumstances of the environment, and that factors of experience and learning are likely to influence breeding patterns of behaviour more than the adaptations by natural selection, seen by Lack as those factors which ensure the raising of the greatest number of offspring possible.
I conclude that the local population of Dominican Gulls is behaving in a similar way to that hypothesised by Wynne-Edwards (1962), whereby animals attain a homeostatic state and regulate their own population numbers in order not to over-exploit the local food resource. High nest densities, infertility in eggs, and high levels of predation of both eggs and fledglings are the probable factors which have most effect on population density and breeding success, whereas food resources do not appear to have an immediate limiting effect.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation deals with the Roman Catholic Order founded by Saint Dominic
in 1215. The Order encompasses Friar Preachers, Christian Brothers, Active
Religious Sisters, Contemplative Sisters and the Lay Dominicans.
Saint Dominic was instrumental in defeating heresy in southern France, which had
been brought about by former Christians alienated from the Church and its
teachings. During this period, Saint Dominic and his helpers were threatened and
abused for challenging heresy and for reconverting former heretics to Christianity.
In 1207, Saint Dominic and his helpers met a group of ladies and converted them
back to their former ascetic lives as Catholic nuns. The land and shelter acquired
for them adjacent to the Church of Saint Mary of Prouille was to become the first
established convent for Dominican nuns.
Saint Dominic continued his preaching and teaching as the Dominican Order
developed, the first English Priory being established in Oxford on 15th August
1221. Within a century, fifty Priories had been set up in the United Kingdom alone.
Prior to his death in 1221, Saint Dominic had been instrumental in the
establishment of the Rule and Constitution of the Order, which covered liturgy
and asceticism and dealt with aspects concerning the government of the Order.
The Rule and Constitution of the Order still applies in today. However, the last
three decades have seen the Order facing a crisis with continuing falling numbers
of entrants from the western World. This dissertation examines the possible causes
and effects of such a decline, along with the impact this has had on its present and
future continuation as seen by the Dominicans themselves. The author also
explores a possible solution to relieve the crisis.Thesis (M.Th. (Church and Dogma History))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007.

Testaments, donations and spirituality of St. Dominic’s Monastery of Évora in the
period between 1440 and 1520
The present study consists of an analysis of testaments and donations to St.
Dominic’s Monastery in the period between 1440 and 1520 according to the source
used for this work, the Cartulary of St. Dominic’s Monastery of Évora.
From the 13th century onwards the monastery was in close relationship with the city,
since the Dominicans, besides being more attached to teaching and to popular
preaching as well as to culture and the urban elite also favoured the most important
cities. Known as a space of implantation of its convents, the growing importance of
Évora at the end of the Middle Ages explains the relatively precocious installation of
this Order here and the elevation of this particular monastery.
Several members of the nobility chose the Dominican monastery as the place for
seeking spiritual support and thus leaving it, by will, properties, houses and other
valuable assets in exchange for the spiritual favours of its monks as a means to
reach eternal life.

Sekizawa, Izumi. "Le naturalisme linguistique de Boèce de Dacie : enjeux et discussions." Paris 7, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA070061.
Full textAbstract:
Boèce de Dacie est un philosophe du 13e siècle, connu comme modiste et « averroïste ». Notre thèse consiste à donner une interprétation exacte de la 16e question de ses Modi significandi, un texte philosophico-grammatical, où l'auteur développe un certain innéisme linguistique. Selon certains chercheurs contemporains, par cet innéisme, Boèce est considéré comme précurseur du nativisme de Noam Chomsky. Selon d'autres, cet innéisme n'a pas de valeur théorique importante dans la philosophie de Boèce. Boèce souligne plutôt l'ancrage du langage dans la structure des choses, et de ce point de vue, sa position n'a pas de particularité à l'époque. Selon notre analyse, ce sont deux versants du même naturalisme : tout doit être expliqué par sa propre nature. Par là, Boèce minimise le rôle de la volonté dans l'institution des langues et à la place de la volonté humaine, il introduit la nature humaine, qui est comparable à la nature de n'importe quelle espèce animale, comme le fondement des sciences du langage. Pour bien fonder cette interprétation de la théorie de Boèce, nous remontons au douzième siècle et analysons le texte de Gundissalinus, qui forme un horizon pour les auteurs du treizième siècle ; nous comparons la théorie de Boèce avec celle d'un contemporain Michel de Marbais qui insiste sur le rôle de la volonté ; nous la comparons aussi avec celles de Siger de Brabant ou des anonymes en lisant les manuscrits qui nient pour la plupart la position de Boèce de Dacie et reprennent la position plus traditionnelle. Boèce n'est jamais un précurseur de Chomsky, mais un auteur particulier à l'époque par son naturalisme linguistique ayant deux versantsBoethius of Dacia is a 13th-century philosopher, known as a modist and "averroist". In this thesis, we intend to give an exact interpretation of the 16th question of his Modi significandi, a philosophico-grammatical text, where the author develops a certain linguistic innateness argument. Some modem scholars consider him, by this innateness argument, as a precursor of Noam Chomsky's nativism. Others believe that such an innateness argument is not theoretically important for his linguistic philosophy. Boethius rather emphasizes the anchoring of language in the structure of things, and for this argument, his position isn't so peculiar at the time. According to our analysis, these are two sides of the same naturalism: everything must be explained by its own nature. From this point of view, Boethius minimizes the role of the human will in the constitution of language and instead of the human will, he introduces, as the foundation of the linguistics, the human nature, which is comparable to the nature of any other animal species. To establish this interpretation of Boethius's theory, we go back to the 12th century and analyze the text of Gundissalinus which gives a horizon for the authors of the 13th century; we compare the theory of Boethius with that of a contemporary Michel de Marbais who emphasizes the role of the will; we also compare it with those of Siger of Brabant or anonymous authors, in reading manuscripts. The majority denies the position of Boethius of Dacia and chooses to renew more traditional positions. Boethius is not a precursor of Chomsky, but a very particular author at that time by his two sided linguistic naturalism.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the negotiating style of the Dominican negotiator. The research presented is of qualitative nature -a phenomenology study- which looks at a single country: the Dominican Republic. Two major research strategies used in this research are (a) in-depth interviews with negotiators and observers and (b) a cultural survey instrument of Dominican managers. Data has been collected from primary sources, through interviews of negotiators in the private and public sector and through surveys completed by managers and negotiators. After distilling the interview through horizonalization and other qualitative analyses methods, within-case and across-case analysis were done to determine key findings of each interview. This dissertation provides an insight into the cultural profile of Dominicans, as the foundation to create a descriptive profile of the Dominican negotiator.

Ben, Abdeladhim Maha. "Dominique Fourcade. L’envers d'écrire." Thesis, Paris 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA040152.
Full textAbstract:
Éminemment élégiaque, l’œuvre de Dominique Fourcade n’en est point moins évacuée de l’effusion lyrique. L’Orphée contemporain ne se retourne pas, le poème se décentre et accueille en sa langue des rapports mis en œuvre par des présences formellement diverses qui exposent le monde. Espace de la vulnérabilité, l’écriture fourcadienne pose la question du sens et de la représentation ; elle interroge jusque la légitimité poétique de ses questionnements dans une époque marquée par la violence et la mort. La poésie de Dominique Fourcade ne supporte plus d’autres sujets que le réel, la langue et l’écriture. Prise dans une interprétation systémique propre à l’œuvre, elle se fait envers et contre les images créant ainsi une nouvelle surface poétique faite d’interactions avec d’autres praxis artistiques. Le motif du dos est aussi un mode d’être au monde comme responsabilité pour autrui. L’envers est l’insoutenablement plus-que-visible du corps nu : un visage-vulve. L’un des aspects de la théorie sémiostylistique, celui qui ne sacrifie pas le corps et aboutit à une herméneutique matérialiste de la signification, est en affinité interprétative avec cette poésie et satisfait à la prendre en charge sur certaines questions. L’écriture de Dominique Fourcade se situe sur la ligne opaque des grandes voix poétiques modernesEminently elegiac, Dominique Fourcade’s corpus is not the less drained of lyrical effusion. Modern-day Orpheus would not look back, the poem is thrown off-center and hosts within its own language a number of connections which are implemented by strictly diverse presences, themselves uncovering the world. A location of vulnerability, Fourcadean writing raises the question of meaning and representation; it goes as far as doubting the very poetic legitimacy of its questioning in an era marked by violence and death. Dominique Fourcade’s poetry can no longer stand other subjects but the real, language and writing. Entangled in a systemic interpretation which is inherent to the corpus, such poetry turns itself inside out and against the images thus creating a new poetic surface made of interactions with other artistic praxes. The back motif is also a way of being in the world as a responsibility for others. The inside out is the unbearably more-than-visible of the naked body: a vulva-face. One of the aspects of semio-stylistic theory, that which does not sacrifice the body and leads to a materialist hermeneutics of meaning, has an interpretative affinity with this poetry and fulfillingly takes it in charge on certain questions. The writing of Dominique Fourcade places itself on the opaque line of the greatest modern poetic voices

Full textAbstract:
Dominique Bagouet est un chorégraphe français mort en 1992 à l'âge de 41 ans. Suite à cette mort prématurée, les danseurs de la Compagnie Bagouet décident de continuer à danser ses chorégraphies et à les transmettre aux générations suivantes. Dans ce but, ils fondent l’Association « Les Carnets Bagouet ». Dans ce contexte d’échange entre passé et avenir, le présent travail tente de cerner les spécificités de l’écriture chorégraphique de D. Bagouet. Il est montré que cette écriture s’analyse à trois niveaux : univers chorégraphique, geste chorégraphique et transmission de la danse. S’appuyant sur l’expérience des Carnets Bagouet, le travail présenté ici met en lumière l’existence de l’idée de transmission au cœur même de l’écriture de D. Bagouet, au point de devenir une caractéristique essentielle de son écriture. Il est mis en évidence que l’être intime du chorégraphe est la source d’une écriture qui se donne pour objectif la libération de ceux qui la dansent. On Parvient à théoriser une écriture chorégraphique qui partant de l’individu s’efforce de renouveler et renouer les liens qui le constituentDominique Bagouet, french choregrapher, died in 1992 at the age of 41. Following on this premature death, the dancers of the Company Bagouet took the decision to continue dancing his choreographies and so to pass them on to following generations. To this end they founded the Association “les Carnets Bagouet” (The Bagouet Notebooks). Within this context of exchanges between the past and present, this work seeks to define the specificities of Dominique Bagouet’s choreographic writing. What is clearly shown is that his writing is to be analyzed on 3 levels: a choreographic universe, a choreographic gesture and transmission of the dance. Based on the experience of the “Carnets Bagouet”, this present work seeks to reveal the existence of the idea of transmission at the heart of Dominique Bagouet’s writing, this becoming an essential characteristic of his writing. Finally, what also appears is that the intimate being of the choreographer is the source of a writing whose purpose is to liberate those who dance it. Fundamentally, the matter of all writing is concerned with transmission and thus with the question of relationship. Ultimately we arrived at the theorization of choreographic writing whose point of departure is the self which strives to renew and recreate the links from which this self is formed

Full textAbstract:
Fathermen is an ethnographic journey in the kinship lives of men on the island of Dominica, West Indies. It traces the various complexities, conundra and contradictions Dominican men encounter and create as they navigate relational life trajectories. These are termed kinship predicaments: moments in kin-lives that trouble hegemonic concepts of fatherhood and masculine personhood; that spark ambivalence between dominant ideals and lived experiences; that provoke quarrels between mothers' expectations and fathers' practices; and expose incongruities between established norms and emerging forms. Seeking to transcend the historical and contemporary circumscriptions that stereotype Caribbean fathers as absent studs or patriarchal authoritarians, this enquiry asks how Dominican men chart their own paths of paternal becoming. Developing an intuitive participatory methodology, referred to as the ethnography of relation, Fathermen commutes into the kin-worlds of Caribbean men, seeking to understand fatherhood through deep dialogue as it is built from the ground up. Organising its chapters around local idioms through which Dominicans frame kinship, Fathermen features discussions on: the romantic and conjugal tensions that precede/inform parenting; the ‘mystic' bodily affects that draw men into reproduction; the vexed norm of paternal provision; Caribbean fathers' emergent nurturant practices; the classed politics of paternal recognition; and, finally, men's ambivalent intergenerational experiences of becoming grandfathers. Fathermen argues that it often takes a lifetime to realise fatherhood, with many Dominican men unable to resolve its many paradoxes within their mortal spans. Whilst it contends that men are ‘tied' tighter into kin-life as they grow along their paternal journeys, ambivalences persist. Yet still, amidst angst and complexity, Fathermen is nonetheless an ethnography of love, dedication, familial vitality, creativity and humour.

Full textAbstract:
This goal of this study is to discern the ways in which women's subjectivities have changed through the processes of decolonisation, modernization, and nation building between the 1930s and 2000 in rural Dominica. The relationship between the shifting conditions of colonial and postcolonial life in its material, political, social, and cultural aspects, and the change in the discourses that relate to proper behaviour (moral discourses) are examined. I have explored the ways in which women position themselves with relation to these discourses (which could be called moral discourses), through how they employ them in their representations, and how they negotiate them, engaging them in the creation of what could be called an 'ethics of self.' The research, carried out over a one-year period in the village of La Plaine in Eastern Dominica, involved participant observation in the village; life history interviews with women of three generations; the analysis of skits and pageants; and documentary research involving primary and secondary sources. Several discursive themes emerged in the analyses: women's use of accounts of the past to critique the present, in what I have called critical nostalgia; the change in values epitomized by the notion of respect that formed the basis of local relations and which has begun to disappear with the change in governance and economic relations; the ambivalences involved in gender relations, especially those associated with expectations of women towards men and women's autonomy from men that derive from historical circumstances of colonization and decolonization; and the celebration and discursive dissemination of values that associate femininity with the political entity that Dominica has become. Differences found between women's expressions in both the discourses they engaged with, and in the particular ways they used them to frame their experiences, were related mainly to age and socio-historical changes, but also to socio-economic background.

Dominican intellectuals in the capital city utilized baseball in their nation-building endeavor, seeking to prove that not only were they capable of performing their own westernization, but that Santo Domingo was the modern heir of ancient Athens in the New World.

Full textAbstract:
Un reto fundamental en las sociedades multiculturales es cómo fortalecer y potenciar la integración de la población inmigrada desde una perspectiva intercultural e inclusiva. Este reto adquiere una relevancia especial cuando se trata de la integración de los hijos e hijas de familias procedentes de la inmigración. Desde esta perspectiva, esta investigación se ha centrado en analizar, desde una perspectiva amplia, los procesos de integración que están siguiendo los adolescentes de origen dominicano reagrupados por sus familias en Barcelona, concretamente, dentro del contexto sociocultural del barrio de Sant Pere, Santa Caterina y la Ribera del distrito de Ciutat Vella. Desde una concepción de la integración como un proceso dinámico, bidireccional, de interrelación entre sociedad de acogida e inmigrados, hemos desarrollado un modelo de análisis que permite realizar una interpretación de los procesos de integración en adolescentes procedentes de familias inmigradas, a partir del estudio de algunas de las dimensiones que conforman la integración de los inmigrantes en sociedades que se definen como multiculturales, tales como son las dimensiones: estructural, psicosocial, social, cultura-identitaria y perspectivas de vida en el proceso de la integración. Los resultados de este estudio permiten responder a cuestiones respecto a cómo se están integrando los adolescentes de origen dominicano en el conjunto de la sociedad receptora, qué elementos les están sirviendo de apoyo o de barreras en sus procesos de integración y cómo podría la educación ayudar a fortalecer, aún más, la integración de este u otros colectivos con similares características en la sociedad de acogida.
Para responder a estas cuestiones se ha realizado esta investigación de naturaleza cualitativa orientada a la comprensión, en la que se ha utilizado la entrevista semi-estructurada como método de recogida de información. En el estudio han participado 30 adolescentes de origen dominicano, de quienes se han recogido sus experiencias migratorias y de integración en Barcelona. También, en el estudio se han obtenido las opiniones de 36 fuentes de información, tanto de la sociedad receptora como de miembros de la comunidad dominicana residente en Barcelona, sobre cómo perciben la integración de los sujetos que han sido objeto de estudio de esta investigación.
El desarrollo del estudio consta de dos grandes partes. Una primera parte, en el que exponemos el marco conceptual del que se ha partido, el cual, se refiere al “estudio de la integración de los inmigrantes en sociedades multiculturales”, en esta parte se finaliza con la presentación de la metodología y diseño elaborado para el desarrollo de la investigación. Una segunda parte, en la que se presentan los resultados de los dos estudios realizados: el estudio exploratorio con diversas fuentes de información y el estudio de profundización con los propios adolescentes de origen dominicano. Posteriormente, presentamos las conclusiones generales del estudio, las bases para una propuesta de intervención socioeducativa que contribuya potenciar la integración en hijos e hijas de familias procedentes de la inmigración. Finalmente, se señalan las limitaciones con las que nos hemos encontrado durante la realización del estudio y las prospectivas que tiene la investigación que se ha llevado a cabo.One of the fundamental challenges in multicultural societies is to strengthen and integrate the migrant population from an intercultural and inclusive perspective. This challenge is especially important when we are dealing with the integration of the children of migrant families. In this research I will analyze the integration processes that Dominican teenagers regrouped by their families in Barcelona are undertaking, particularly in Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera neighborhoods in Ciutad Vella. Taking into consideration integration as a dynamic, bidirectional and interrelational process between welcoming society and immigrants, I will analyze this process through different dimensions such as: structural, psychosocial, social, cultural, identitarian and other related with life perspectives. The results of this research may answer questions like: how the Dominican teenagers are integrating in the welcoming society, what elements are they helping or damaging their integration process, how education can foster the integration of this population and others similar to them. I have used qualitative research methodology and particularly semi-structured interview to collect information. 30 Dominican teenagers participated in the research sharing with me their migratory and integration experiences in Barcelona. I also got the opinions of 36 persons either form the welcoming society and the Dominican community in Barcelona on how they perceive the integration of the teenagers, In the first part of this thesis I expose the theoretical framework in which I analyze the integration of immigrants in multicultural societies and the methodology that I chose for the research. In the second part I present the results of the research based on the fieldwork with the teenagers, the members of the Dominican community and the members of the welcoming society. Then I try to lay the basis for a socio-pedagogic intervention that could help to integrate the children of immigrant populations. Finally I highlight the limitations I had during my research and the possibility of future research.

The author tries to show in this research the history of Sunday school, overcome challenges over the years, as well as the contribution of the missionaries and churches in order that this school becomes a reality from your appearance. In this effort, it became apparent the Sunday school contributed directly and indirectly in the formation of culture and personality of the people in it inserted. For this, the study begins by presenting an overview of the history of Sunday school to situate the reader in time in order that monitoring the trajectory could be critical and weighty in present status. For this reason, the author is concerned to present the structure of the Sunday school, the changes undergone over the years, as well as the pedagogical proposal to streamline the education service in the churches that develop this system of Christian education. Moreover, our goal is also to know the strength of influence of the Sunday school in the past and its usefulness today. Therefore, the author presents a survey of some intellectuals, whose answers presented served with an instrument of assessing the degree of importance of this agency educator of the Christian faith, as well as the quality of education in the Reformed churches. The conclusions the author reached demonstrates that the Sunday school needs new challenges, but recognizes that even so has contributed to the growth behavioral, social, intellectual and spiritual people, and has failed to fulfill its role in society through the churches and therefore has struggled through leadership in seeking to present the best Sunday school to continue contributing and putting people in Brazilian society highly prepared and committed to education, and the growth of people.
O autor procura mostrar nesta pesquisa a história da escola dominical, os desafios superados ao longo dos anos, bem como a contribuição dos missionários e igrejas a fim de que esta escola se tornasse uma realidade a partir do seu surgimento. Nesta tentativa, o autor procurou mostrar que a escola dominical contribuiu direta e indiretamente na formação da cultura e da personalidade das pessoas nela inseridas. Para isto, o estudo apresenta um resumo da história da escola dominical para situar o leitor no tempo, com o objetivo de acompanhar a trajetória, ser crítico e ponderável na avaliação da situação atual. Por este motivo, o autor se preocupa em apresentar a estrutura da escola dominical, as mudanças sofridas ao longo dos anos, assim como a proposta pedagógica para dinamizar o serviço educacional nas igrejas protestantes que desenvolvem este sistema de educação cristã. Além disso, objetivou-se ainda saber da força de influência da escola dominical no passado e sua utilidade na atualidade. Por isto, o autor apresenta uma entrevista envolvendo alguns intelectuais, cujas respostas apresentadas serviram como instrumento de avaliação do grau de importância desta agência educadora da fé cristã, bem como a qualidade do ensino ministrado nas igrejas de cunho reformado. As conclusões a que o autor chegou demonstram suficientemente que a escola dominical carece de novos desafios, mas, reconhece, que mesmo assim tem contribuído para o crescimento comportamental, social, intelectual e espiritual das pessoas, bem como não tem deixado de cumprir o seu papel na sociedade por meio das igrejas e por isso, tem se esforçado por meio da liderança em procurar apresentar o melhor para que a escola dominical continue contribuindo e colocando na sociedade brasileira pessoas preparadas e comprometidas com a educação.

Full textAbstract:
The late medieval and early modern church in Scotland has been under studied. The contrast with the voluminous bibliography on the Scottish Reformation could not be greater. The Franciscan Order was the subject of a two volume history written by William M. Bryce and published in 1909 and there has been recent work on the monastic foundations, by Mark Dilworth, published in 1995. The research on the Order of Friars Preachers presented here complements these works but also stands with them in something of a historiographical vacuum. Primary sources were found to be more abundant than this lack of secondary study might suggest. This thesis draws upon a wide range of manuscripts including the exchequer rolls, the treasurers accounts, burgh records, commissary court records, court of session records, private collections and the Vatican Archives. This evidence points to and reflects the view that the Dominican Order was a central feature of civic Christianity and at the forefront of the Catholic Reform of the Scottish Church in the late medieval and early modern period. The history of the order over the 110 years from 1450 to 1560 is given in the first chapter. The next two chapters place that history in context by examining the personnel of the order and the relationships between the Dominicans and the lay communities in which they lived and worked. These three chapters demonstrate that the Dominicans were highly educated, mobile and politically aware. Formally breaking from England, the Dominicans set up their own province in 1481 and began to put into practice the ideals of Dominican Observance in the early sixteenth century and were involved in the reform which was current in the Catholic Church during the period. Chapters Four and Five examine the income of the different houses of friars and how they dealt with the property which they owned. The feuing of lands and the pursuit of rents in court are interpreted as showing the friars to be active in defending their interests within the burghs. The relationship between the laity and the friars is further examined in Chapter Six, through the donations given to the friars for prayers for the dead. These foundations reveal the long-term nature of investment in the order for anniversaries and other divine services. Finally, attitudes to the friars revealed in the Scots literature for the period are examined and there is found to be widespread use by Scots poets of the traditions of anti-mendicant literature.

Full textAbstract:
La femme et le mot dans la poésie de Dominique Fourcade constituent un langage qui permet le passage d’une rive à l’autre. Ce langage aspire à construire l’homme, et à traduire le visible au moyen de l’invisible. C’est un langage profond, lyrique et philosophique, solide, vulnérable, mais au fond, impénétrable, abyssal et énigmatique. La poésie de Fourcade est une méditation sur la douleur humaine qui surgit dans la nuit comme un soleil et demande le pourquoi de l’obscurité. La femme et le mot dans la poésie de Fourcade sont la métaphore de l’homme qui a froid et dont l’âme a besoin de la peau féminine. La poésie de Fourcade est un miroir du réel. Elle ne recule pas. Elle ne redoute rien. Elle représente l’identité anatomique de notre temps. C’est en quoi cette poésie doit être pensante, philosophique et picturale, car elle fait paraître non seulement le réel, mais aussi son mystère, sa tristesse et son gouffre insondables. Au fond de ce mystère, le poète pleure l’homme et le monde sans plus d’identité, sans plus d’histoire. La poésie de Fourcade trouble nos esprits, car elle exprime les sentiments sous la forme d’un langage mouvant, fluide en expansion et en continuité, qui projette sur nous l’image de la réalité lourde, intense et funéraire. La poésie de Fourcade a sa place dans le cœur humain car elle est née auréolée du soleil de l’esprit pour montrer un monde tel que le poète aurait aimé le voir. C’est pourquoi la femme et le mot, dans sa poésie, installent un univers lumineux, une affection active, tonique et accentuée qui ne connaît que la passion créatrice qui pénètre tout grâce à sa sincérité et à sa pureté. Ils n’ont pour autre but que de réaliser l’équilibre entre la matière sombre et négative, et l’esprit pur. Rien n’est plus beau que lorsque nous partons de l’extrémité d’une image pour atteindre l’autre extrémité. La femme et le mot sont une lutte armée entre deux contraires lumière et ténèbre, esprit et matière. Chacun s’efforce d’imposer à l’autre sa volonté et de faire triompher sa cause. Entre la femme et le mot, dans la poésie de Fourcade, il y a un lien qui associe la réalité à la pensée, le ciel à la terre, le mortel à l’immortel. Ils semblent avoir été autant de moyens d’accéder à l’harmonie secrète de l’âme humaine. Mais la poésie de Fourcade est aussi cette mélancolie primitive, car dans l’obscure rêverie, le poète pleure toutes les valeurs brillantes qui ont été éteintes, laissant un homme blessé, solitaire et suspendu au milieu d’un espace intérieur closWoman and Word in Dominique Fourcade’s poetry constitute a language which permits the passage from one bank to another. This language aims at forming man and it translate the visible by the invisible. It is a deep language, Lyrical, philosophical, solid, vulnerable but deeply inpenetrable bottomeless and enigmatic. Fourcade’s poetry is a meditation of human suffering which gutters at night as a sum and looks for the reason of its obscurity. In fact, both woman and word are the metaphore of man who feek of cold whose soul is in need of his skin. This poetry is a mirror of the real, it never goes back. It reflets the analytical identity of our time. For this reason this poetry is philosophical full of images because it not only shows the real but also its mystry, its sadness and unfathomable depth. It the coreg this mystry the poet cries that man and world have no more identity, no more history. This kind of poetry shakes our thinking because it expresses the feelings in a movins language full of expansion and continuity reflecting the sound pisture of the intense and painful reality. Such a poetry has its place in human heart because it is born aureole of the spirit in order to show a world required by the poet himself. For this reason the woman and the word are within a lightening universe, it is an active, tonic and accentuated affection which knows no creative passion and penetrates into its sincerity and purity. No objective behind this but the realization of the balance between the sombre matter and the pure spirit. There is nothing beautiful when we pass from one extreme to another. The two abovementioned factors are an armed conflict between two opposing elements namely light and darkness, spirit and matter. Dun tries to impose his will and te gain victory for this cause. Between the woman and the word there is direct relation which associates the reality and thinking, heavne and earth, the mortal and the immortal. It seems that there are means to attain secret harmony of human soul. But this poetry has primitive melancoly because in the obscure revery the poet evoques all the brilliant values which have lost their glooming, leaving a solitary man suspended within a close setting

Full textAbstract:
Le monde, depuis des millénaires, est bâti sur les fondations de sociétés bilingues. Or, ce « parler multiple » semble depuis toujours être source de conflit. Loin d’être considéré comme une richesse, le bilinguisme (ou plurilinguisme) semble plutôt représenter un problème auquel on tâcherait de trouver une solution. « La multiplicité » dit Louis-Jean Calvet (1999), « est chose mauvaise, on lui préfère de façon toute jacobine un bon gros Etat monolingue bien cerné dans ses frontières politiques et linguistiques ».La région caraïbe occupe une place tout à fait intéressante sur cette scène en perpétuel mouvement qu’est la mondialisation. Ces pays/îles doivent continuellement chercher l’équilibre entre appartenance locale, régionale et internationale, grand nombre d’entre eux luttant toujours aujourd’hui pour concilier leur statut d’anciennes colonies et le rythme rapide de la mondialisation. Cette thèse porte sur la place des langues vivantes dans les écoles du premier degré à la Martinique et à la Dominique et sur les enjeux d’un enseignement bilingue pour ces deux îles qui appartiennent à la fois à la Caraïbe et au monde. Nous proposons, dans un premier temps, une étude de la situation actuelle de l’enseignement des langues dans les deux îles : quelles sont les politiques linguistiques dans les deux contextes? Dans quelle mesure sont-elles mises en œuvre? L’enseignement des langues répond-il aux exigences des textes officiels ? Les politiques linguistiques sont-elles adaptées aux réalités sociolinguistiques de ces îles ? Dans un deuxième temps, nous interrogeons la possibilité d’un enseignement bilingue dès l’école préélémentaire dans les îles de la Martinique et de la Dominique et nous expérimentons des approches d’enseignement des langues en milieu institutionnel et en contexte périscolaire. Nous nous interrogeons sur des modes de fonctionnement différents : ne pourrait-on pas imaginer d’autres manières de faire ? Que pouvons-nous proposer comme solutions complémentaires et/ou alternatives à l’existant ?Enfin, dans un troisième temps, dans une perspective plus globale, nous posons la question de l’éducation bilingue, par une approche comparée, en analysant les faits éducatifs dans deux systèmes différents et en nous intéressant à la question de l’altérité. La compréhension de l’Autre peut-elle améliorer l’existant dans le cas de la Martinique et de la Dominique ? Nous revenons ainsi à la question de l’intérêt et des enjeux d’une comparaison de l’enseignement des langues dans ces deux systèmes, en prenant en compte les identités locales, régionales et internationales à travers des analyses historiques et sociolinguistiques. A la suite de cette analyse, nous faisons des propositions concrètes en faveur d’un enseignement bilingue intégré dans ces deux îles. Ces propositions concernent les domaines tels que la didactique, la planification en éducation et le curriculum bilingue, la formation des enseignants et la politique linguistique de la Caraïbe. Notre question centrale est la suivante : comment enseigner aujourd’hui pour mieux préparer les citoyens caribéens au monde de demain ?The Caribbean region occupies an interesting space in the perpetually changing scene of globalisation. Caribbean countries or islands must continually seek to balance their sense of belonging to a local, regional and international community. This is sometimes a difficult task as any of them are still fighting to balance their evolution as old colonies with the fast pace of globalisation in a new world.This thesis focuses on language teaching at primary level in the islands of Martinique and Dominica. It examines the many issues surrounding language teaching and questions the role of bilingual education in the development of these two Caribbean islands as they evolve within the Caribbean and the world. Firstly, we propose a careful study of the current situation of language teaching in Martinique and Dominica. What are the language policies of these islands? How and to what extent are they implemented? Does language teaching truly reflect the objectives of official texts? Are the present language policies adapted to the sociolinguistic reality of each island?Secondly, we raise the question as to the possibility of the implementation of bilingual education at the pre-primary level in the islands of Martinique and Dominica. We examine the question through the experimenting of different language teaching methods within a school setting and as part of an extracurricular bilingual program. Can we envision alternative approaches to the present situation? What complementary or alternative solutions can we propose to improve on what already exists?Lastly, we look at the subject from an overall perspective and we address the question of bilingual education. We analyse how comparative education, the study of other education systems and the understanding of others play a major role in developing solutions to present day situations. This analysis takes into account issues relating to local, regional and international identities through a study of the historical and sociolinguistic context of the islands of Dominica and Martinique.Based on our analysis and on the literature, we put forward concrete proposals for holistic bilingual education on the islands of Martinique and Dominica. These proposals focus on areas such as language teaching pedagogy, education planning, the bilingual curriculum, teacher training, and language policy for the Caribbean. The main question underlying this thesis is: how do we teach today to better prepare Caribbean citizens for the world of tomorrow?

Full textAbstract:
Income effects associated with specific levels of erosion reduction for a
representative farm in the Bao watershed area in the Dominican Republic are
examined in a linear programming framework. Estimation of costs expected in
response to specific levels of erosion reduction and the income effects of changes in
agricultural policies on the farmer's ability to conserve soil are examined.
Results indicate that income losses will be substantial when complying with soil loss standards without introducing soil conservation practices. Net income reduction of 36% can be expected with a reduction in soil loss by 50%. With the introduction of soil conservation practices, substantial reductions in erosion can be obtained with only a minor reduction in net income. For example, with grass strips, 50% reduction in soil loss can be expected with only a 7% reduction in income.
Analysis of the effects of changes in agricultural policies indicates that restricting
access to credit and changes in tenure from secure land holdings to lack of land titles
does not affect the incentive to conserve soil in the short run. Furthermore, analysis
of effects of changes in agricultural pricing policies indicates that the promotions of
coffee, sweet potatoes, and beans represent the least-costly means of meeting the
twin goals of erosion reduction and income maintenance.

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a influência do atrito nas equações da onda. Os exemplos clássicos neste contexto são a equação da onda com atrito viscoso utt - ?.u + ?ut = 0, e a equação da onda com atrito forte utt - ?.u - ?? ut = 0 . Nosso interesse está em estudar problemas onde o atrito varia entre estes dois casos. Mais especificamente, consideraremos utt - ?.u +? ( - ?) a ut= 0, onde o parâmetro a satisfaz 0=a= 1. Este problema gera semigrupo analítico para 1/2 =a=1. Restringiremos nosso trabalho para este intervalo do parâmetro a

Resumo: Com o objetivo geral de contribuir para estudos referentes ao nível fonológico da linguagem em condições patológicas, esta tese apresenta uma análise da inserção de pausa e estruturação dos domínios prosódicos na fala de dois sujeitos disártricos em decorrência de um acidente automobilístico. O principal objetivo é descrever as características prosódicas da fala disártrica de acordo com a teoria da Fonologia Prosódica, que postula, dentre outras coisas, que a linguagem oral é estruturada em domínios prosódicos. Uma abordagem prosódica e entonacional foi considerada a mais adequada para os dados, pois envolve evidências entonacionais, segmentais e rítmicas dos três domínios mais altos da hierarquia prosódica: a frase fonológica, a frase entonacional e o enunciado fonológico. A análise dos dados foi feita de acordo com a perspectiva teórica da Fonologia Prosódica (NESPOR & VOGEL, 1986) e Fonologia Entonacional (LADD, 1996) conforme usada por TENANI (2002) para analisar dados do Português Brasileiro. Os dados analisados consistem em três conjuntos de gravações: a) leitura de um texto; b) leitura de frases controladas experimentalmente do corpus de TENANI (2002) e c) fala espontânea e entrevistas. Os processos fonológicos implementados pelos disártricos nas fronteiras dos domínios prosódicos foram analisados de acordo com a proposta de TENANI (2002). Tais processos fonológicos foram: inserção de pausas, vozeamento da fricativa, tapping, haplologia, elisão, ditongação e degeminação. Para melhor descrever a alteração da fala disártrica, foi feita uma comparação entre os resultados de TENANI (2002) para sujeitos brasileiros adultos e os disártricos. Os resultados demonstraram evidências da preservação dos domínios prosódicos na fala dos sujeitos. A inserção de pausas foi o elemento prosódico mais utilizado para estruturar os domínios prosódicos. Em relação ao uso de pausas e o contorno entonacional, foi verificado que a associação de tons corresponde ao estudo de TENANI (2002). Quanto à implementação de processos fonológicos, o vozeamento da fricativa foi feito pelos sujeitos sobretudo dentro da mesma frase fonológica. Nas demais fronteiras consideradas, eles geralmente optaram pela inserção de pausas para estruturar domínios. O tapping, quando implementado, era feito somente dentro da mesma frase fonológica. A haplologia indicou importantes aspectos rítmicos na fala dos sujeitos. Quando aplicada, promovia um ritmo mais acentual na fala do disártrico mais grave. Ao não ser implementada na fala do sujeito levemente disártrico, indicava um ritmo mais silábico, que soava, para alguns ouvintes, como um sotaque estrangeiro espanhol. No que se refere à elisão e ditongação, a fala dos disártricos confirma os resultados de TENANI (2002), uma vez que eles implementam tais processos tanto dentro da mesma frase fonológica quanto entre elas. A degeminação, porém, foi bloqueada através da inserção de pausas
Abstract: With the general aim of contributing to studies about the phonological level of language in pathological conditions, this thesis presents an analysis of pause insertion and structuring of prosodic domains in the speech of two dysarthric subjects whose dysarthria was due to a car crash. The main objective of this thesis is to describe the prosodic characteristics of dysarthric speech. This was done by using the theory of Prosodic Phonology which states, among other things, that oral language is structured into prosodic domains. A prosodic and intonational approach was considered the most adequate for the data. It took into account intonational, segmental and rhythmic evidences from the three higher domains of prosodic hierarchy: phonological phrase, intonational phrase and phonological utterance. The analysis of the data followed the theoretical perspective of Prosodic Phonology (NESPOR & VOGEL,1986) and Intonation Phonology (LADD ,1996) as used by TENANI (2002) to analyze Brazilian Portuguese data. The data we analyzed consisted of three sets of recordings: a) the reading of a text; b) the reading of experimentally controlled sentences from the corpus by TENANI (2002); and c) spontaneous speech and interviews. Phonological processes that make up the frontiers of prosodic domains were analyzed for the dysarthric subjects, following Tenani¿s proposals. The phonological processes were: pause insertion, fricative voicing, tapping, syllable determination, elision, dyphtongation and vowel degemination. To better describe the phonological alteration of dysarthic speech, a comparison was made between the results of TENANI (2002) for adult Brazilian Portuguese subjects and the dysarthric ones. The results show evidence of the preservation of prosodic domains in the speech of the subjects. Pause insertion was the most used prosodic element to structure the prosodic domains. As for the use of pauses and intonation contour, it was verified that the tonal association correspond to the study carried out by TENANI (2002). With regard to the phonological processes implementation, fricative voicing was done by the subjects mainly inside the same phonological phrase. In the other frontiers considered, they usually choose pause insertion to structure domains. Tapping, whenever used, was applied only inside the same phonological phrase. Syllable degemination indicated important rhythmic aspects in subjects speech. Whenever used, it promoted a more stressed rhythm in the speech of the most severe dysarthric subject. When it was not used in the speech of the slightly dysarthric subject it indicated a more syllabic rhythm which sounded as a Spanish foreign accent to some listeners. As for elision and dyphtongation, the speech of the dysarthric subjects confirm the results by TENANI (2002), for they implement such processes both inside the same phonological phrases and between them. Vowel degemination, however, was blocked through pause insertion

Full textAbstract:
Le plaisir, un des thèmes structurants de l'oeuvre de Dominique Fernandez, est la voie choisie ici pour analyser les particularités d'un des écrivains majeurs de notre temps. L'importance de la question du plaisir dans ce discours montre comment une oeuvre s'inscrit dans son é poque, comment elle évolue avec elle, comment les interrogations d'un écrivain épousent ou repourssent les changements des moeurs. Le choix de cette voie d'approche permet d'embrasser toute l'oeuvre qui est vaste et multiple : Dominique Fernandez n'est pas seulement romancier, il est aussi essayiste, dramaturge, journaliste et auteur de relations de voyage ; il ne limite pas sa curiosité à la littérature mais se passionne aussi depuis toujours pour la musique, pour la peinture et pour la danse. Grand voyageur, c'est encore la recherche du plaisir qui le conduit à la découverte du territoire baroque. . . Ainsi, afin de restituer toute l'étendue et toute la profondeur de son plaisir personnel pour pouvoir en trouver tous les échos dans sa création, il a paru indispensable, après avoir donné une définition de la notion, d'étudier tout particulièrement la place et la fonction de la musique et du voyage dans la vie et dans l'oeuvre de Dominique Fernandez, puis d'observer quels choix esthétiques coi͏̈ncident avec ce désir de savoir et de plaisir. Car l'absence de rupture entre l'oeuvre et l'expérience interdit de s'adonner à une étude thématique sans tenir compte aussi des éléments biographiques de l'écrivain, qui, au milieu du siècle, a dû trouver le moyen d'exprimer la nature de son désir, tant dans sa vie que dans son oeuvre. Comme toute oeuvre littéraire majeure, celle-ci est le fruit de luttes et de combats dont l'objet n'est autre que le plaisir, questionnement omniprésent que ce soit dans un cadre éthique, politique,historique ou esthétique.

Full textAbstract:
At a government hospital in the town of Dajabon, in the northwestern Dominican Republic, doctors and nurses must make decisions on whether or not to treat Haitian patients who have crossed the border in search of health care. This thesis examines the discourses and practices of Haitian patients and Dominican health care providers in the context of two co-existing but contrasting rhetorics: health as a human right, and medical humanitarianism. Using data collected through semi-structured interviews and participant observation, I examine how social, political, and economic forces shape medical encounters on the Haitian-Dominican border.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout the history of the Dominican Republic, theater has played an instrumental role in the cultural life its people, one which transcends purely artistic and cultural dimensions extending its influence into the political and social fabric of the nation. In spite of Spanish colonization and later Haitian occupation, a nascent national identity began forming early on. The staging of certain plays exposed latent conflicts and revealed sectorial, class interests. Theater provided a means of expression for popular sentiments, thus revealing an urge by the people to manifest their concerns, usually under the heavy weight of censorship. This thesis focuses on key moments of the first 140 years of Dominican Republic theater. It is organized into three chapters: "Historical Antecedents", "Theater of the Dictatorship" and "Theater of the Post-Dictatorship." The first chapter deals with the struggle for independence through 1844; the next focuses on the theatrical plays and political climate of bloody Rafael Leonidas Trujillo dictatorship which spanned from 1930 to his assassination in 1961, and the third presents the theater that appeared in the subsequent years of the equally repressive Joaquin Balaguer presidency (1966-1978). The analysis of these key historical moments, in conjunction with the dramaturgy of playwrights such as Franklin Domínguez, Marcio Veloz Maggiolo and Héctor Incháustegui Cabral, maps the function of theater as a tool of raising awareness, transmitting ideologies, and unifying a nation, in spite of despotism and oppression often disguised as democracy. As such, it documents the role that theatre played during a nation-building process that stages the history of political repression, lack of freedom of expression as well as social and political injustice.
