Imrie, Alex. "Constitutio Antoniniana : an edict for the Caracallan Empire." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/33299.
Full textAbstract:
The constitutio Antoniniana represents one of the most important legal documents of the Roman imperial period. By means of this edict, the emperor Caracalla enfranchised nearly every free person living within the borders of his empire. Despite its apparent significance, though, the constitutio remains a controversial document among modern scholars. Some consider it to be the logical conclusion to an evolutionary process in Roman citizenship that took over two centuries to achieve. Others, however, believe that it is a meaningless document given retrospective importance, changing little in the daily lives of the empire's population and representing nothing more than a superficial initiative brought forth by an absolute monarch. The primary focus of this thesis concerns the various reasons that Caracalla might have had for passing the constitutio Antoniniana in the opening half of AD 212. By considering elements such as the emperor's fascination with Alexander the Great and religious perspective, as well as issues surrounding the Roman imperial economy and army, I will construct an image of the constitutio that is more multi-faceted than has been presented in the past. The common thread running through these chapters, however, is that Caracalla employed his edict as a tool in a programme of refashioning the Severan dynasty - a programme that he found himself compelled to undertake in the aftermath of the murder of his brother and co-emperor, Geta. I will also argue that modern scholars have been wrong to dismiss the testimony offered by Cassius Dio, in which the senator claimed that a fiscal rationale underlay the legislation. Whilst the detail of Dio's argument is undoubtedly questionable, this thesis will demonstrate that, on a basic level, the senator was correct to identify a fiscal initiative contained within the terms of the constitutio text. The final chapter of the thesis will form a case study of Caracalla's imperial visit to Alexandria in AD 215/6. This is a challenging episode to analyse, since the hostile literary tradition appears content to label the violence which marked the emperor's stay in the city as the result of a merciless massacre ordered by Caracalla in revenge for an assortment of minor slights and insults. This chapter will re-assess the events of the imperial visit and argue that the disturbances were not the result of the emperor's uncontrollable temper, but rather that they resulted from riots among the local population that the local authorities were unable to control. Following this hypothesis, I will examine to what extent the effects and implications of the constitutio Antoniniana had a bearing on the disturbances in Alexandria. I contend that, although it is obviously impossible to draw a direct link between the edict and the unrest, it is possible to see that the social and fiscal implications of the legislation would have exacerbated pre-existing local sensitivities and pressures to breaking point. This work will represent one of the largest studies of Caracalla's constitutio undertaken in the English language to date. The aim of my study is not to function as an apology for the emperor, but it is an attempt to view the constitutio Antoniniana in a more rational way. My thesis thus acknowledges that the context in which the legislation was passed is of critical importance not only to our understanding of the constitutio as a document, but also to our assessment of Caracalla's actions following the murder of his younger brother.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPhil (Ancient Studies)--University of Stellenbosch, 2008.Ammißaduqa, penultimate king of the Ôammurabi dynasty in the Old Babylonian period, reigned from 1646-1626 BCE, and issued a mēšarum edict which Finkelstein described as “a single tablet, inscribed with a most unique text of an importance for the socio-economic life of Babylonia second to no other.” It is essential to define ancient royal edicts within their cultural context. This thesis examines, within the broad legal, religious, political and social background of the Ancient Near East, the design of royal edicts, their aims, beneficiaries and legal implications. The primary goal of this thesis is to improve our understanding of the motives for the promulgation of mēšarum decrees within the ancient cultures, and in particular, the motives for Ammißaduqa’s first edict. There is a strong scholarly tendency to seek the motives in the economic faction, even likening this decree to a “modern-day economic stimulus package,” a type of “RDP”. Kraus noted that the first promulgation was designed and executed for ideological purposes, subsequent mēšarum edicts were economic emergency measures. Nel agreed that the proclamation of a mēšarum was part of the propaganda strategy to strengthen the royal administration and to legitimize its power. The mēšarum was not designed to bring prosperity, but to stimulate agricultural production and prevent uncontrolled urbanization. Olivier noted that the mēšarum was intended, not to reform the economic system, but to remedy the unbearable economic situation. The economic motive is therefore of prime importance for all subsequent edicts, although an overlapping of all three motives – ethics, ego and economy – is highly likely. The base-line conclusion is that the motive and the occasion are inseparable. The aim of this thesis was to produce sufficient evidence that king Ammißaduqa was primarily inspired by ethics and ego, and not economics, when declaring his first mēšarum edict.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.The Edict of Ammisaduqa and the Jubilee Year legislation in Leviticus 25 provide the most extensive evidence for the debt relief tradition throughout the ancient Near East. A comparative analysis of these texts points to an indirect relationship between them based upon a common theme, debt-slavery of the head of the household, and terminology, andurārum and drr. However, the substantial differences in content between the two texts suggest that there is no direct relationship between them. In light of this analysis it is possible that the tradition of debt relief entered ancient Israel in some form at an early date and then was later re-emphasized during the late monarchic period under Neo-Assyrian influence. This possibility rests upon the debt relief tradition existing in Syro-Palestine under influence from Mari and the Hittites, as well as later under the Neo-Assyrian Empire. Internal evidence in Leviticus 25 also potentially points to an early rural situation for the origination of the Jubilee tradition.

Full textAbstract:
L’empoisonnement est une infraction qui est apparue tardivement, bien que le poison soit depuis longtemps utilisé comme une arme criminelle redoutable. En 1682, il fait l’objet d’une réglementation spécifique qui le distingue du simple homicide et qui encadre de manière rigoureuse le commerce des substances vénéneuses. Depuis cette date, l’empoisonnement a toujours été incriminé de façon autonome dans le droit français. Aussi, cette nouveauté juridique soulève de nombreuses questions d’une part sur la constitution de l’infraction et, de l’autre, sur sa répression par les tribunaux. L’empoisonnement étant un crime difficilement démontrable, la question de la preuve se pose à chaque instant. Par conséquent, il faut interroger la justice criminelle pour comprendre l’apport de cette nouvelle législation et les spécificités qui sont propres au crime d’empoisonnement, tant dans le déroulement de la procédure criminelle que dans la sanction appliquée aux empoisonneursPoisonning is a violation which appeared lately, though poison has been used as a powerful criminal weapon for a long time. In 1682, a specific regulation distinguished it from a manslaughter and supervised the trade of poisonous substances in a rigorous way. Since then, the poisoning has always been incriminated independantly in the French law. So a lot of question was raised by this new law ; in one hand on the constitution of the breach and on the other hand on its repression by the courts. As poisonning is a crime which is hard to proove, evidence have to be found all the time. Therefore, we have to ask the Criminal Justice to understand this new legislation and these specificities which are particular to poisonning, both in the progress of the criminal procedure and in the penalty applied to the poisoners

Full textAbstract:
Despite a vast amount of research on Late Antiquity, little attention has been paid to certain figures that prove to be influential during this time. The focus of historians on Constantine I, the first Roman Emperor to allegedly convert to Christianity, has often come at the cost of ignoring Constantine's predecessor, Diocletian, sometimes known as the "Second Father of the Roman Empire". The success of Constantine's empire has often been attributed to the work and reforms of Diocletian, but there have been very few studies of the man beyond simple biography. This work will attempt to view three of Diocletian's major innovations in order to determine the lasting effect they had over the Roman Empire and our modern world. By studying 1) Diocletian's assumption of new, divinely inspired titles; 2)Diocletian's efforts at controlling prices in the marketplace; and 3)Diocletian's Persecution of the Christians in the Roman Empire at the turn of the fourth century CE, we can gain valuable insight into the ways through which Roman Emperors extended their authority throughout different facets of Ancient World, including developments that would shape the future of Western Civilization for the next 1400 years.M.A.

Full textAbstract:
Henri IV met fin aux guerres civiles de religion en 1598 en décrétant la mémoire des troubles « éteinte et assoupie, comme de chose non advenue ». Comment se positionne le théâtre français par rapport à cette politique d’oubli, quel espace mémoriel offre-t-il ? Nous considérons la tragédie qui s’écrit entre 1629, fin officielle des guerres civiles et date de la dernière tragédie d’actualité, et 1653, fin de la Fronde et d’une nouvelle menace de division intérieure. La tragédie semble se détourner d’une actualité trop déchirante, en ce sens elle oublie, mais elle se trouve pourtant travaillée par cet oublié. En partant du plus visible : la mise en scène des princes cléments, nous montrons que cette forme d’oubli officiel et volontaire est très représentée sur la scène tragique. Mais l’oublié est aussi ce qui travaille les tragédies dans la représentation qu’elles offrent du conflit familial qui fournit bon nombre des sujets tragiques du temps. La tragédie fait donc affleurer le présent du passé, la mémoire de la division, par le détour allégorique. À un théâtre mélancolique où le passé pèse sur le présent de tout son poids s’oppose un théâtre de relance historique dans lequel peut s’ouvrir un avenir nouveau. Enfin, l’oubli apparaît dans ces années de théorisation dramatique comme un idéal pour le spectateur absorbé dans le spectacle, et comme une menace quand il conduit à l’oubli de soi chez certains comédiens ou spectateurs naïfs. L’oubli, dans son équivocité fondamentale, permet donc d’articuler théorie politique, dramatique et images scéniques, dans un premier dix-septième siècle où l’on ne cesse de penser la violence qui menace le lien et la communauté au risque de la divisionHenry the 4th ends the religious civil wars in 1598 by ordaining that the remembrance of troubles is « extinguished and abated, like something that did not occur ». How does French drama stand in relation with this politics of oblivion ? What kind of memorial space does it open ? We consider tragedies written between 1629, official end of the troubles and date of publication of the last usual times tragedy, and 1653, end of a new internal division threat embodied by the Fronde. In appearance, tragedy seems to forget a harrowing recent past by turning away from it, but it is simultaneously deeply influenced by what has been forgotten. By starting with what is most visible, the staging of merciful princes, we demonstrate that this official and voluntary oblivion is very much represented on the tragic stage. But forgetfulness is also influencing tragedies in their displaying of family feuds, a frequent tragic topic of these times. Tragedy thus makes surface the present of the past, the memory of division, through allegoric detours. A double-face drama emerges : one of melancholy in which past weighs on present, one of historical reset with an ouverture for renascent prospects. Last, in these years of dramatic theorization, forgetfulness appears to be, for a spectator absorbed by the play, an ideal, as well as it can drag the most naive of them and some comedians into forgetting about their selves in denial of reality and confusion with fiction. The fundamental ambiguity of forgetfulness enables to articulate political theory, drama and staging, in a 17th century where violence is thought to threaten the community with division

Full textAbstract:
En 1685, l’édit de Nantes est révoqué. La législation royale et les dragonnades contraignent les protestants à abjurer. Si certains acceptent la conversion au catholicisme, d’autres choisissent l’illégalité, à savoir l’exil vers les Pays du Grand Refuge ou la pratique clandestine de leur religion. L’édit de Fontainebleau est enregistré par le conseil souverain de Tournai, cour érigée en parlement en 1686. Les représentants de la justice du roi sont chargés de faire respecter lesdispositions de l’édit dans une province nouvellement conquise qui possède sa propre histoire religieuse et dont la situation frontalière favorise l’exil.L’objet de cette étude est d’analyser l’application de la Révocation dans les provinces de Flandre et du Hainaut-Cambrésis et ses conséquences sur les protestants locaux. Les magistrats et les intendants, influencés ou non par les particularismes de ces provinces, ont-ils favorisé l‘exécution rigoureuse de la législation ou au contraire ont-ils préféré la clémence? L’exil massif des protestants,surtout d’autres provinces françaises, et la crainte d’une détérioration de l’économie du royaume rendent en effet difficile l’application stricte de la législationIn 1685, the Edict of Nantes is revoked. Royal legislation and “dragonnades” compel the Protestants to abjure. If some accept conversion to Catholicism, others choose illegality, more precisely emigration to the protestants Countries or clandestine practice of their religion. The edict of Fontainebleau is enacted by the sovereign council of Tournai, a court erected in parliament in 1686. The representatives of the king's justice are responsible for enforcing the provisions in a newly conquered border province which has its own religious history and favors, due toits situation, exile abroad.The purpose of this study is to analyse the application of the Revocation in the provinces of Flanders and Hainaut-Cambrésis and its consequences on local Protestants. Did the juges and the intendants, influenced or not by the specific characteristics of these provinces, favor the enforcementof legislation, or, on the contrary, were they rather lenient? The massive exile of Protestants of other French provinces and the fear of a deterioration of the Kingdom's economy made it difficult to enforce the legislation strictly

Full textAbstract:
This thesis will attempt to introduce a history of the Dardanelles Jewish community during the early years of the Tanzimat, i.e. between 1839 and 1845. It analyzes the cultural and economic structure of the community and its relations with the Ottoman state in light of developments following the Baltalimani Convention of 1838 and the proclamation of the Tanzimat.
This study, based mostly upon Ottoman archival documents, first will touch upon the initial Jewish settlement in the Dardanelles and the demographic composition of the city during the early years of the Tanzimat. Then it will provide information about Jewish communal organization in the Dardanelles, as it will explain the institutions, religious and lay leadership and some cultural aspects of the Jews. Next, it will bring forth, mostly in statistical tables, properties owned by the Dardanelles Jews, as well as occupational divisions among them such as in crafts, trades and agriculture. The study further will examine their economic stratification in comparison with the non-Jewish communities in the Dardanelles, and briefly outlines their commercial and diplomatic relations with the European states. This thesis also will attempt to cover the community’
s relations with the Ottoman state with respect to Tanzimat reforms and in connection with the foundation of the Grand Rabbinate in 1835, the changes brought to communal administration, and adjustments on taxes paid to the Ottoman state. The fire of 1845 that totally destroyed the Jewish quarter, and its aftermath will be discussed in the last part, thus ending the thesis.

Walker, Michael Joseph. "La Grande Arche des Fugitifs?,/i> Huguenots in the Dutch Republic After 1685." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2011. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2900.
Full textAbstract:
In the seventeenth century, many refugees saw the United Provinces of the Netherlands as a promised land—a gathering ark, or in French, arche. In fact, Pierre Bayle called it, "la grande arche des fugitifs." This thesis shows the reception of one particular group of Protestant refugees, the Huguenots, who migrated to the Netherlands because of Catholic confessionalization in France, especially after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. The thesis offers two case studies—one of the acceptance of Huguenot clergymen and one of the mixed reception of refugee radical and philosopher Pierre Bayle—in order to add nuance to existing knowledge and understanding of the Huguenot diaspora, and of the nature of tolerance in the Dutch Republic, especially in regard to the Dutch Reformed Church. Dutch society, and especially the Reformed Church, welcomed the Huguenot refugees because of their similar religious beliefs and the economic and cultural benefits they brought with them. Particularly following the 1685 Revocation, refugees fleeing France settled securely in the Republic amongst the Walloons, descendants of refugees already settled there, and worshiped in prosperity and peace within the Walloon Church, a French-speaking arm of the Dutch Reformed Church. Using synodal records, this thesis examines the relationships between refugee pastors and the established Walloon leaders and finds that there was a bond of acceptance between the two groups of clergy, motivated by the desire for orthodoxy in religious belief, or in other words, by a Reformed desire for confessionalization"”more Reformed adherents also made Dutch society more Reformed. Huguenots were also able to maintain a measure of French identity while still being integrated into Dutch society. The second chapter shows the limits of Dutch tolerance by examining the Netherlandish experience of Pierre Bayle, a Huguenot refugee and philosopher. His experience was typical for a controversial philosopher and refugee in the Netherlands because he endured intolerance from certain religious authorities, but also received protection from other moderate religious officials and university and civic authorities. Bayle expressed sentiments that the Netherlands was a safe haven, or ark, for refugees, even though he endured censure from church officials. Their aims were to make the community's religious convictions more uniform, and some leaders of the Dutch Reformed Church saw Bayle's ideas as threats to that—to confessionalization. In the same vein as Benjamin Kaplan's Divided By Faith, this thesis shows that tolerance certainly existed in the Republic, but was more complicated than Bayle and others suggested. Indeed, efforts that thwarted confessionalization were met with intolerance by the Dutch Reformed Church. This thesis also contributes to Huguenot studies by discussing the relationships of refugees to their host community in the Dutch Republic.

Thouin-Dieuaide, Christabelle. "La vanité et la rhétorique de la prédication au XVIIᵉ siècle." Thesis, Limoges, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LIMO0006/document.
Full textAbstract:
Le travail de recherche que nous proposons a pour cadre la prédication au XVIIe siècle dans la période de l’édit de Nantes (1598-1685) et concerne l’expression de la vanité dans des oeuvres oratoires (sermons catholiques et protestants) et picturales (Vanités, tableaux d’autel). Ces dernières années, l’étude de la rhétorique a ouvert la voie à de nouvelles perspectives intéressantes à exploiter. La problématique qui guide cette recherche concerne la manière dont le concept de la vanité permet de renouveler, à cette époque, la rhétorique de la prédication. Autrement dit, il s’agit de montrer que le concept de vanité est, dans la prédication, un enjeu théologique et littéraire. Ma démarche consiste donc à étudier lescaractéristiques d’un discours, héritier des conceptions antiques, remodelé pour s’adapter aux circonstances qui imposent une nécessaire réflexion sur la nature et le pouvoir de la parole exprimée dans les sermons et les tableaux de Vanité. Le concept de vanité témoigne non seulement d’un douloureux constat anthropologique, mais est aussi employé, dans le discours, comme un argument moral, religieux, tout en étant source paradoxalement de fascination esthétique. Nous reconsidérons donc plus précisément les thèmes privilégiés de la prédication (mort, mépris du monde, pénitence…), et les stratégies discursives mises en place par les prédicateurs protestants et catholiques pour étudier les paradoxes du discours sur la vanitéThis research is set within the framework of XVIIth-century preaching during the Edict of Nantes period (1598-1685). It regards the expression of vanity in oratorical works (Catholic and Protestant sermons) as well as pictorial works (Vanitas, altar paintings). These last years, the study of rhetoric opened new paths that are interesting to explore. The issue at thecore of this study is the way the concept of vanity led to a renewal of the rhetoric of preaching in that period. In other words, I will show that for preachers the concept of vanityis both a theological and a literary concern. Thus my approach is to study the characteristics of a form of speech which, while it is heir to ancient conceptions, is also remodeled in order to adapt tonew circumstances that demand necessary reflections about nature and the power of speech as expressed in sermons and in Vanitas. The concept of vanity isnot only evidence of painful anthropological assessments, but is also used as a moral and religious argumentin sermons, while paradoxically generating an aesthetic fascination. I will thus consider moreparticularly the preachers’ favorite themes (death, scorn for the world, penitence) and their speech strategies, as Catholics and as Protestants, in order to study the paradoxes of speeches about vanity

Full textAbstract:
Les conditions d’exercice du ministère pastoral dans la France réformée du régime de l’édit de Nantes (1598-1685) sont encore mal connues. Le cas précis de Paul Ferry (1591-1669), pasteur à Metz de 1612 à sa mort, permet d’entrer dans le monde des « ministres de la Parole de Dieu » au XVIIe siècle. Cette étude tente d’approcher l’analyse des formes et des modèles de la carrière pastorale. Ils sont religieux et confessionnels bien sûr, mais également politiques, sociaux, culturels et intellectuels. Perceptibles à plusieurs échelles, les contours du ministère s’observent localement, mais également à une échelle nationale, voire internationale, grâce à un exceptionnel réseau de correspondance. Le ministre, type de clerc radicalement différent du prêtre catholique, doit toujours assurer les fidèles de leur Salut dans leur foi, surtout par la prédication, mais aussi par l’administration des sacrements et par l’acculturation, en tentant d’imposer la morale et la discipline réformées. Même la vie « privée » du pasteur est une modalité d’édification de son troupeau et donc une action pastorale. Il doit en effet donner l’exemple d’une bonne vie chrétienne, notamment parce qu’il n’est plus ontologiquement différent des fidèles depuis la révolution du sacerdoce universel. Il agit également en défenseur de sa communauté en se muant en guide politique et en porte-parole de son Église, notamment face à la controverse catholique et face aux pouvoirs, mais aussi en historien, en écrivain, ou en directeur de collège. Par toutes ces diverses fonctions assumées au nom de son ministère, Ferry constitue un modèle, parfois contesté, de pasteur sous le régime de l’édit de NantesRelatively little is known about the way the pastoral ministry was exercised in France during the period of the Edict of Nantes (1598-1685). The case of Paul Ferry (1591-1669), who became pastor at Metz in 1612 and remained there until his death in 1669, makes it possible to enter into the world of the « ministers of the Holy Word » in the seventeenth century. This study attempts to analyze the forms and models of the pastorate. These are not only religious and confessional, but also political, social, cultural and intellectual. The impact of the minister could be felt at different levels, ranging from the local to the national and, due to an exceptional network of correspondence, even to the international. The Reformed pastor, a cleric who differs radically from the Roman Catholic priest, has the duty continually to reassure the members of his congregation in their faith and about their salvation. He does so especially in the preaching, but also in the administration of the sacraments, and as well as by way of acculturation in imposing Reformed morals and discipline on his flock. Even the « private » life of the pastor can be considered as a form of edification, and therefore as a pastoral act. It is the pastor’s duty to give an example of the good Christian life, especially since with the Reformation’s emphasis on the priesthood of all believers he is no longer ontologically different from his congregation. The pastor can also assume the role of protector of his congregation as a political guide and church spokesman, in particular in face of Catholic polemics and powers, or else the role of a historian, writer, or rector to a collège.

Although several systems with structure editors have been built, no model exist to formally describe the edit operations used in such editors. This thesis introduces such a model --- a formalism to describe general structure edit operations for text oriented documents. The model allows free bottom-up editing for any tree-based structural document with a textual content. It can also handle attribute and erroneous structures. Some classes of common structures have been identified and structure editor specifications constructed for them, which can be used and combined in the creation of other structure editors.

Full textAbstract:
Ansible brings select-to-edit functionality to physical widgets. When programming sets of physical widgets, it can be bothersome for a programmer to remember the name of the software object that corresponds to a specific widget. Click-to-edit functionality in GUI programming provides a physical action--moving the mouse to a widget and clicking a button on the mouse--to select a virtual widget. In a similar vein, when programming physical widgets, it is natural to point at a widget and think, "I want to program that one." Ansible allows physical user interface programmers to "click" on a physical widget by making a physical action: shining a light, waving a magnet, or pressing a button on the widget. This brings up the widget's code for editing on a laptop or workstation. The Ansible system is intended to help physical user interface programmers prototype distributed systems built from physical widgets. We conducted a user study with twelve programmers using Ansible; the study showed that shining a light eliminates the need for a programmer to remember the mapping between physical widgets and their names. We also built three example systems to illustrate some of the kinds of systems that can be implemented using Ansible.

O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar a produção escrita huguenote no exílio no decorrer de um período de aproximadamente trinta anos (1676-1707), época marcada pela revogação do édito de Nantes (1685). Dentre as dezenas de milhares de reformados proscritos da França em virtude das perseguições religiosas ocorridas durante o reinado de Luís XIV, alguns indivíduos publicaram, nomeadamente na Inglaterra e nas Províncias Unidas, escritos de gêneros totalmente distintos, como relações de viagem, cartas pastorais, tratados políticos, teológicos e filosóficos, utopias e projetos coloniais. A finalidade da dissertação é examinar detalhadamente tais escritos, identificando propostas e debates de ordem política, social, econômica e/ou religiosa, que indubitavelmente refletiam as inquietações e expectativas dos huguenotes no referido momento, ou seja, suas diferentes reações diante de uma conjuntura histórica antagônica.The objective of this study is to analyze the Huguenot written production in exile during a period of approximately thirty years (1676-1707), a time marked by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685). Amongst tens of thousands of protestants banned from France because of religious persecution that occurred throughout the reign of Louis XIV, some individuals published, particularly in England and the United Provinces, completely different genres of writings, like travel accounts, pastoral letters, political, theological and philosophical treaties, utopias and colonial projects. The purpose of the dissertation is to examine these writings in detail, identifying proposals and debates on political, social, economic and/or religious order, which undoubtedly reflected the concerns and expectations of the Huguenots in that time, ie, their different reactions under an antagonistic context.

When committing source code changes to a version control system, these changes might affect more than one of several tasks connected to the project. This can have a bad impact on analysis of changes. It can also make it difficult to reuse or undo previous changes, or difficult to understand the evolution of software. With edit history refactoring, the edit history of source code can be reconfigured to help the developer separate commits into smaller commits. Thereby, one can avoid commits that affect more than one task. However, separated commits can have unwanted effects on the source code. The aim of this thesis project is to resolve conflicts that may occur when refactoring an edit history. Changes have been made to Historef, a tool created by Saeki Laboratory at Tokyo Institute of Technology. This tool uses the technique of edit history refactoring. The changes help the tool evaluate possible edit history refactorings in order to suggest one that avoids source code con- flicts. By testing examples of edit histories, one can show that the tool can avoid different types of conflicts and the separated commits can be commited to a version control system without unwanted effects.När kodändringar laddas upp till ett versionshanteringssystem är det möjligt att dessa ändringar är kopplade till mer än en uppgift i projektet. Det här kan ha en dålig påverkan när man analyserar projektets ändringar, återanvänder tidigare ändringar, eller försöker förstå hur mjukvaran har ändrats över tiden. Med hjälp av edit history refactoring kan kodändringshistorik omstruktureras för att separera kodändringar till mindre ändringar. Då kan man undvika att en ändring på- verkar mer än en uppgift. Däremot kan uppdelningen av ändringar resultera i oönskade effekter på källkoden. Syftet med det här examensarbetet är att undvika konflikter som kan uppstå när man strukturerar om kodändringshistorik. Historef är ett verktyg skapat av Saeki Laboratory vid Tokyo Institute of Technology. Det här verktyget använder sig av tekniken edit history refactoring. Genom att utöka verktygets funktionalitet kan det numera evaluera omstruktureringar av kodändringshistorik för att kunna föreslå en omstrukturering som undviker konflikter. Genom att testa exempel på kodhistorik kan man visa att verktyget nu kan undvika olika typer av konflikter så att dessa ändringar kan laddas upp utan oönskade effekter.

Full textAbstract:
History mechanisms available in hypertext systems allow access to past user interactions
with the system. This helps users evaluate past work and learn from past activity. It also
allows systems identify usage patterns and potentially predict behaviors with the system.
Thus, recording history is useful to both the system and the user.
Various tools and techniques have been developed to group and annotate history in
Visual Knowledge Builder (VKB). But the problem with these tools is that the
operations are performed manually. For a large VKB history growing over a long period
of time, performing grouping operations using such tools is difficult and time
consuming. This thesis examines various methods to analyze VKB history in order to
automatically group/cluster all the user events in this history.
In this thesis, three different approaches are compared. The first approach is a pattern
matching approach identifying repeated patterns of edit events in the history. The second
approach is a rule-based approach that uses simple rules, such as group all consecutive
events on a single object. The third approach uses hierarchical agglomerative clustering
(HAC) where edits are grouped based on a function of edit time and edit location.
The contributions of this thesis work are: (a) developing tools to automatically cluster
large VKB history using these approaches, (b) analyzing performance of each approach in order to determine their relative strengths and weaknesses, and (c) answering the
question, how well do the automatic clustering approaches perform by comparing the
results obtained from this automatic tool with that obtained from the manual grouping
performed by actual users on a same set of VKB history.
Results obtained from this thesis work show that the rule-based approach performs the
best in that it best matches human-defined groups and generates the fewest number of
groups. The hierarchic agglomerative clustering approach is in between the other two
approaches with regards to identifying human-defined groups. The pattern-matching
approach generates many potential groups but only a few matches with those generated
by actual VKB users.

Graphs are abstract data structures used to model real problems with two basic entities: nodes and edges. Each node or vertex represents a relevant point of interest of a problem, and each edge represents the relationship between these points. Nodes and edges could be attributed to increase the accuracy of the model, which means that these attributes could vary from feature vectors to description labels. Due to this versatility, many applications have been found in fields such as computer vision, biomedics, and network analysis, and so on .The first part of this thesis presents a general method to automatically learn the edit costs involved in the Graph Edit Distance. The method is based on embedding pairs of graphs and their ground-truth node-tonode mapping into a Euclidean space. In this way, the learning algorithm does not need to compute any Error-Tolerant Graph Matching, which is the main drawback of other methods due to its intrinsic exponential computational complexity. Nevertheless, the learning method has the main restriction that edit costs have to be constant. Then we test this method with several graph databases and also we apply it to perform image registration. In the second part of the thesis, this method is particularized to fingerprint verification. The two main differences with respect to the other method are that we only define the substitution edit costs on the nodes. Thus, we assume graphs do not have edges. And also, the learning method is not based on a linear classification but on a linear regression.

Bafail, Alaa. "EDIT : an Educational Design Intelligence Tool for supporting design decisions." Thesis, Nottingham Trent University, 2016. http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/33240/.
Full textAbstract:
Designing for learning is a complex task and considered one of the most fundamental activities of teaching practitioners. A well-balanced teaching system ensures that all aspects of teaching, from the intended learning outcomes, the teaching and learning activities used, and the assessment tasks are all associated and aligned to each other (Biggs, 1996). This guarantees appropriate and therefore effective student engagement. The design and promotion of constructively aligned teaching practices has been supported to some degree by the development of software tools that attempt to support teaching practitioners in the design process and assist them in the development of more informed design decisions. Despite the potential of the existing tools, these tools have several limitations in respect of the support and guidance provided and cannot be adapted according to how the design pattern works in practice. Therefore; there is a real need to incorporate an intelligent metric system that enables intelligent design decisions to be made not only theoretically according to pedagogical theories but also practically based on good design practices according to high levels of satisfaction scores. To overcome the limitations of existing design tools, this research explores machine learning techniques; in particular artificial neural networks as an innovative approach for building an Educational Intelligence Design Tool EDIT that supports teaching practitioners to measure, align, and edit their teaching designs based on good design practices and on the pedagogic theory of constructive alignment. Student satisfaction scores are utilized as indicators of good design practice to identify meaningful alignment ranges for the main components of Tepper's metric (2006). It is suggested that modules designed within those ranges will be well-formed and constructively aligned and potentially yield higher student satisfaction. On this basis, the research had developed a substantial module design database with 519 design patterns spanning 476 modules from the STEM discipline. This is considered the first substantial database compared to the state-of-the-art Learning Design Support Environment (LDSE)(Laurillard, 2011), which includes 122 design patterns available. In order to have a neural-based framework for EDIT, a neural auto-encoder was incorporated to act as an auto-associative memory that learns on the basis of exposure to sets of 'good' design patterns. 519 generated design patterns were coded as input criteria and introduced to the designed neural network with feed-forward multilayer perceptron architecture using the IV hyperbolic tangent function and back-propagation training algorithm for learning the desired task. After successful training (88%), the testing phase was followed by presenting 102 new patterns (associated with low student satisfaction) to the network where higher pattern errors were generated suggesting substantial design changes to input patterns had been generated by the network. The findings of the research are significant in showing the degree of changes for the test patterns (before) and (after) and evaluating the relationships between the core features of module designs and overall student satisfaction. T-test analysis results show statistically significant differences in the test set (before) and (after) in case of the alignment score between learning outcomes and learning objectives (V1) and the alignment score between learning objectives and teaching activities (V2), whereas no statistically significant difference is seen in the alignment score between learning outcomes and assessment tasks (V3). The network gives an average improvement of 0.9, 1.5, and 0.5 in the alignment scores of V1, V2, and V3, respectively. This resulted in increasing the average of satisfaction scores from 3.3 to 3.8. Accordingly, positive correlation with different degrees between student satisfaction and the alignment scores were suggested as a result of applying the network proposal changes. EDIT, with its data‐orientated and adaptive approach to design, reveals orthodox practices whilst revealing some unexpected incongruity between alignment theory and design practice. For example, as expected, increasing the amount of questioning, interaction and group‐based activity effects higher levels of student satisfaction even though misalignment may be present. However, the model is relatively ambivalent towards the alignment of learning outcomes and learning objectives suggesting there is some confusion between practitioners as to how these are related. Also, this confusion appears to persist when defining session learning objectives for different types of teaching, learning and assessment tasks in that the activities themselves appear to be at a higher cognitive level according to Bloom's Taxonomy than the respective learning objectives (resulting in positive misalignment).

Full textAbstract:
La femme des débuts de l'Empire romain jouit d'une autonomie certaine. Nous nous sommes demandé ce qu'il en advenait lorsque la civilisation romaine était confrontée à l'installation durable de populations germaniques sur son sol. Nous nous sommes donc penchée sur cette époque charnière des Ve - VIIe siècles. Comment les dispositions législatives afférentes aux femmes, héritées du Code Théodosien évoluent-elles lorsque les rois barbares promulguent à leur tour une législation écrite ? Pour peser l'impact d'une mesure législative sur la société, nous nous sommes appuyée sur les témoignages d'auteurs contemporains, et nous avons confronté la lettre des textes législatifs aux formulaires des praticiens. Pour mesurer l'influence chrétienne sur les constitutions impériales et sur les textes germaniques, nous nous sommes attachée à lire les pères de l'Eglise et les décisions conciliaires. Nous avons tenté de saisir les raisons qui avaient incité à l'adoption de telle mesure. Nous avons voulu établir s'il était possible de parler « des droits de la femme », de l'Empire romain aux royaumes burgonde, franc, wisigoth et ostrogothique. Il apparaît que le droit romain est le fil conducteur qui permet de passer de l'Empire aux royaumes barbares sans cassure définitive. Il modèle le nouveau visage de la femme dans ces sociétés désormais germano-romaines. La fusion des populations passe par le droit et par l'imprégnation de la société des moeurs romaines. Bien sûr, quelquefois, les coutumes germaniques persistent. Nos législations vont puiser parfois dans le terreau fécond de la pensée chrétienne. Nous nous sommes efforcée dans notre étude de cartographier ces courantsAt the beginning of the Roman Empire era Women enjoyed a certain degree of autonomy. We wondered how it evolved when Roman civilisation had to face the durable installation of Germanic populations on its lands. We undertook to study the turning-point during the 5th to the 7th century. How did legal provisions regarding women, which were derived from the Codex Theodosianus, evolve when Barbarian kings decided in turn to enact written laws? To evaluate the impact of legislative measures on society, we have drawn upon the comments of contemporary authors and compared the text of legal dispositions with practitioners' forms. In order to measure Christian influence on imperial constitutions and on Germanic texts, we read the Fathers of the Church and conciliar decisions. We tried to grasp the reasons for the adoption of particular measures. We have attempted to examine whether it is possible to refer to "women's rights", from the Roman Empire to the Burgundian, Frankish, Visigoth and Ostrogoth kingdoms. Roman law appears to be the common thread which links the Empire to the Barbarian kingdoms, without breaking. It shaped the way women were considered in societies which had become Romano-Germanic. Law and societies' permeation by Roman mores contributed to the merging of peoples. Some Germanic customs obviously survived. Legislation sometimes drew on the fertile ground of Christian thought. We have attempted, in our research, to map these currents

For this thesis, I refined and tested a computer-based engineering teaching tool called EDICS. EDICS (Engineering Design Instructional Computer Program) has proven to be a fun and intriguing means of conveying a wide variety of engineering design subjects to undergraduate students. The core audience of EDICS was assumed to be undergraduate engineering students who lacked the practical experience of manipulating common mechanical components and devices. It has been discovered, though, that EDICS is a useful tool for nearly all types of engineering students at many different levels of experience. The testing of EDICS was carried out by having students study either short excerpts from the program or similar subjects covered either in a popular textbook or a booklet, then testing their knowledge retention by subjecting them to a short, written exam. The subjects that were studied were: transmissions, fastening and joining techniques, and engineering drawing and drafting. The results of this evaluation show that in the subjects of transmissions and fastening and joining, students who used EDICS to study performed significantly better than those who studied using paper-based materials. In the subject of engineering drawing and drafting, the students using EDICS scored, on average, better than the students using the paper-based materials, but the difference was found to be not statistically significant.

Full textAbstract:
This master’s thesis project undertook investigation of whether the extant Damerau- Levenshtein edit distance measurement between two strings could be made more useful for detecting and adjusting misspellings in a search query. The idea was to use the knowledge that many users type their queries using the QWERTY keyboard layout, and weighting the edit distance in a manner that makes it cheaper to correct misspellings caused by confusion of nearer keys. Two different weighting approaches were tested, one with a linear spread from 2/9 to 2 depending on the keyboard distance, and the other had neighbors preferred over non-neighbors (either with half the cost or no cost at all). They were tested against an unweighted baseline as well as inverted versions of themselves (nearer keys more expensive to replace) against a dataset of 1,162,145 searches. No significant improvement in the retrieval of search results were observed when compared to the baseline. However, each of the weightings performed better than its corresponding inversion on a p < 0.05 significance level. This means that while the weighted edit distance did not outperform the baseline, the data still clearly points toward a correlation between the physical position of keys on the keyboard, and what spelling mistakes are made.Detta examensarbete åtog sig att undersöka om det etablerade Damerau-Levenshtein-avståndet som mäter avståndet kan anpassas för att bättre hitta och korrigera stavningsfel i sökfrågor. Tanken var att använda det faktum att många användare skriver sina sökfrågor på ett tangentbord med QWERTY-layout, och att vikta ändrings- avståndet så att det blir billigare att korrigera stavfel orsakade av hopblandning av två knappar som är närmare varandra. Två olika viktningar testades, en hade vikterna utspridda linjärt mellan 2/9 och 2, och den andra föredrog grannar över icke-grannar (antingen halva kostnaden eller ingen alls). De testades mot ett oviktat referensavstånd samt inversen av sig själva (så att närmare knappar blev dyrare att byta ut) mot ett dataset bestående av 1 162 145 sökningar. Ingen signifikant förbättring uppmättes gentemot referensen. Däremot presterade var och en av viktningarna bättre än sin inverterade motpart på konfidensnivå p < 0,05. Det innebär att trots att de viktade distansavstånden inte presterade bättre än referensen så pekar datan tydligt mot en korrelation mellan den fysiska positioneringen av knapparna på tangentbordet och vilka stavningsmisstag som begås.

Concrete structures in marine environments frequently experience long-term deterioration due to environmental exposure. This exposure results in surface damage with the subsequent spalling of concrete, which has a significant effect on the long-term durability of the structure. The reinforced concrete jetty investigated in this study suffered similar problems. The concrete jetty is located on the South East England coast. The jetty consists of a deck that is part precast and part in-situ cast, which is supported by steel, concrete and a sheet pile wall. Five decades after its construction, erosion by sea water is the most serious problem facing the jetty structure and has resulted in significant deterioration and surface damage. This project was established to evaluate the damage level of the jetty using an extended non-destructive measurement approach with an FEA simulation. The basic non-destructive measurement technique used in this investigation is a digital image correlation (DIC) optical system. The current DIC technique is limited to detecting macro cracks; thus, this investigation aims to develop an Extended Digital Image Correlation (EDIC) method to extend the capability of the current DIC from measuring the strain field to detecting multiscale cracks and predicting micro crack propagation. There is an industrial necessity to enhance the damage assessment level based on micro-crack detection. The EDIC study was performed empirically and demonstrated an important role in detecting damaged zones and multiscale cracks, including micro- and macro-cracks of the concrete surface. The EDIC can be used for further studies on detailed damage mechanisms in concrete and other engineering materials, such as timber or masonry structures. The assessment provide information on the current structural degradation, load bearing capacity and safety margin of the damaged jetty. To simulate the ageing jetty numerically, a material model of the ageing concrete was created in terms of the tested core samples obtained from the jetty structure, and the model was implemented in an UMAT subroutine in ABAQUS for FEA simulation. The mechanical properties of the ageing jetty obtained from the experimental tests proved to be suitable, with a compressive and tensile strength of approximately 67 MPa and 4.2 MPa, respectively, and the elastic modulus was 38728 MPa. Using the DIC in situ assessment and FEA simulation, the damage evaluation was completed. The results indicated a considerable decrease in the structural stiffness of the damaged jetty of approximately 40%. The load bearing capacity of the damaged jetty reported was approximately 240 tonnes. Despite the significant damage, the safety margin under the current practical loading condition (162 tonnes) is still high, i.e., approximately 1.48. However, due to the severe condition of the damaged jetty located in an aggressive marine environment and the loading impacts, it is highly recommended that the cracks and corrosion be immediately stopped and controlled. Furthermore, for safety reasons, any additional loads in conjunction with the current practical load (162 tonnes) should be avoided.

This diploma thesis is devoted to the situation of Christians living in the Roman Empire in the first four centuries AD. Every new religion has to face a number of problems in its beginnings, its misunderstanding and its position in society must be gradually enforced. However, the very beginnings of Christianity are not easy to grasp, since so many sources have not been preserved to this day. Likewise, many events are perceived through Christian optics and thus interpreted unilaterally. These are, above all, martyrological texts that have been extensively modified over time and authenticity is now relatively difficult. This diploma thesis is divided into several chapters, while in the first one I try to describe the Roman society and the Roman religion with which the Christian faith was confronted. Further chapters and chapters are devoted to the rise and spread of Christianity, the person of Jesus Christ, and the Church Fathers who report to us about the first centuries of Christian faith. The most extensive part of this diploma thesis is devoted to the main topic of persecution of Christians in the first four centuries AD.

Nous aborderons leurs positions quant aux conséquences politico-religieuses de la Révocation. Et enfin nous dirons quel est le traitement que ces trois auteurs réservent dans leurs textes à la question de la tolérance étatique.In 1685, during the reign of Louis XIV, the French monarchy tried to extirpate the Calvinist alterity from the kingdom by revoking the Edict of Nantes (1598). At that time three contemporaries, Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet (1627-1704), Pierre Jurieu (1637-1713) and Pierre Bayle (1647-1706), the first Catholic, the others Protestants, conceived utopias in which they introduce us to their vision of an ideal France. The general aim of this master's thesis is to analyze these three utopias and show their proposals in matters of government and interfaith relationship. More precisely, we will study the authors' positions about the politico-religious consequences of the Revocation. We will also see in their writings how they understand the tolerance issue.
