Tendo a cidade do Rio de Janeiro, entre 2013 e 2015, como objeto, o presente trabalho pretende compreender o papel do medo na atuação do poder punitivo, isto é, a relação entre o sentimento de insegurança e as políticas oriundas dos discursos jurídico-penais, em especial o populismo penal, e como tal sentimento pode ser administrado por certos agentes e setores. Através da análise da produção estética do medo pelos meios de comunicação de massa busca-se traçar alguns paralelos com determinados pensamentos criminológicos a fim de compreender como alguns processos básicos da atuação do sistema penal se manifestam em nosso dia a dia.
Having the city of Rio de Janeiro, between the years 2013 and 2015, like object, this paper pretends to understand the function of fear in the operation of the punishment, namely, the relationship between the insecurity feeling and the policies from certain legal speeches, especial the penal populism, and how this feeling is managed by certain agents and departements. Through a analise of the aesthetics production of fear by the mass media, is sought to draw some parallels with certain criminological thoughts in order to understand how some basic processes of the function of the penal system are manifesting daily.

Databases are ubiquitous. They are used for a host of functions including coordination, decision making, and memory archiving. Despite their importance and ubiquity, databases continue to frustrate us, often departing from the goals originally set for them. If databases are such essential ingredients for organizations, what diminishes their usefulness? Besides the nature of the data that is entered into the database, usefulness is also shaped by the fields, features, and functionalities that the database designers originally construct that then shape the kind of data that can be entered into the system. This dissertation examines the process of database design and the assumptions and concerns adopted by the stakeholders involved in it. I conducted a year long ethnographic study of a university that has been engaged in creating a self-sustaining Environment Health and Safety system to manage research related hazards and to ensure regulatory compliance. The integrated database system was envisioned as a tool that would allow the university to observe and improve compliance practices while keeping records that would be available for self-auditing and government inspection. My research observations suggest that actors imagine diverse purposes that the database, when complete, should serve. These purposes - entailing the three themes of accountability, efficiency and comparability - appear to guide the design process. As these imagined purposes gain momentum, they translate into both desires and fears for the features of the database. For instance, when efficiency is imagined as a purpose, it creates a desire for features such as drop-down menus that are easy enter information into. The inclusion of such features, however, creates a fear of oversimplification.
(cont.) Through a negotiated process, features such as text boxes are added to address the fears. Yet, every design change negotiated within the database system creates ripple effects with regard to other purposes, generating the need for still further changes. The process of database design becomes highly dynamic and the final database system is a negotiated compromise between multiple trade-offs over time. By juxtaposing these fears and desires, and through the use of causal-flow models, I articulate the process by which databases depart from their original goals.

My thesis is based on a qualitative study in which I have selected six professional teachers in a school in Greater Stockholm, and their views on the phenomenon of conflict management. My questions were the following. How teachers perceive the phenomenon of conflict in the world of school? What strategies do teachers use to resolve conflicts with students? In order to analyze my informants, I have chosen different books that deal with conflict man-agement, policy documents and books on the teaching profession meaning. Through my investigation I found that some teachers used tools and strategies through expe-rience and reflections, and resolve conflicts together or individually. My informants described that there are some teachers how choose to hide and pretend not to see the problem. Other teachers have developed various methods and dared to venture into the conflict and make the conflict as a challenge. Conflict Fear is something that many of my informants mention when some teachers are hid-ing then it is important to work with their own fears in order to develop as a teacher.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MComm)--Stellenbosch University, 2008.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Fear appeals are commonly used in the advertising of social issues, such as drunken driving. In general, researchers believe that there is a positive relationship between fear and persuasion (to adapt misbehaviour). However, there are disputes amongst fear appeal researchers about the level of fear appeal to be used. Fear appeals, like other advertising appeals employed in advertising, is dependant on the traits of the target audience. The effect of fear appeals differ for different target audiences as different people fear different matters. This study tests one of the contemporary models on the working of fear appeals, namely activation theory. Young adults are the target audience of social marketing in South Africa for anti-alcohol abuse issues, such as drunken driving. The effect of fear appeals on the target audience has never been empirically investigated in South Africa although social marketers often employ fear appeals to bring about a change in behaviour. The responses of a sample of young adults in South Africa were tested by means of a quasi-experimental design based on Thayer’s activation deactivation checklist as implemented by previous fear appeal researchers. Three television advertisements that depict three levels of fear appeal (low, medium and high) were presented to three sample groups. Significant differences in the responses of the level of fear appeal were observed after statistical analyses in terms of tension arousal, energy arousal, attitude towards the advertisement and intention to engage in drunken driving. A difference in how genders react to fear appeals was also found.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die gebruik van vreesaanslae in die advertering van sosiale kwessies soos dronkbestuur is algemeen. Alhoewel navorsers glo dat ’n positiewe verhouding bestaan tussen vrees en oorreding (van ’n persoon om sy gedrag aan te pas), heers daar verskille oor die sterkte van die vreesaanslag wat gebruik moet word. Daar is bevind dat vreesaanslae, net soos ander aanslae wat deur die advertensiewese gebruik word, afhanklik is van die teikengehoor. Vreesaanslae se effek verskil, aangesien verskillende mense en gehore verskillende sake vrees. Hierdie studie toets een van die kontemporêre modelle van die werking van vreesaanslae. Jong volwassenes is die teikengehoor in die sosiale bemarking van anti-alkoholmisbruik kwessies soos dronkbestuur. Alhoewel sosiale bemarkers dikwels vrees aanwend om hierdie teiken gehoor se gedrag te verander, is dit nog nooit empiries in Suid-Afrika getoets nie. Die reaksies van ’n steekproef uit dié teikengehoor is getoets deur ‘n kwasieksperimentele ontwerp geskoei op Thayer se “aktivering deaktivering” kontrolelys, soos geïmplementeer deur vorige navorsing in vreesaanslae. Drie televisie advertensies wat drie vlakke van vrees (laag, medium en hoog) verteenwoordig is, aan drie eksperimentele steekproefgroepe getoon. Betekenisvolle verskille in die reaksie van die drie groepe is waargeneem ná statistiese ontledings. ’n Verskil in hoe geslagte reageer op vreesaanslae, is ook bevind.

Full textAbstract:
Terror management theory (TMT) asserts that cultural worldviews and self-esteem help humans manage death-related concerns. To date, most of the evidence for TMT is from Western cultures which are characterized by individualism. However, cultural values and self-esteem among East Asian cultures characterized by collectivism are distinct from ones among Western cultures. It is unclear how individualist vs. collectivist cultures influence terror management mechanisms and whether TMT findings derived from Western cultures could be generalized to East Asians cultures.
This research aimed to explore cultural differences and similarities in three terror management mechanisms involving self-esteem, social norm and perception of control. 825 participants were recruited from two individualist cultures (i.e., Germany, Austria) and one collectivist culture (i.e., China) in four studies. The Pilot Study validated the mortality salience paradigm among Chinese participants. Study 1 examined whether individualists and collectivists utilize different types of self-esteem to manage existential terror. Study 1A tested the correlations between death anxiety and types of self-esteem and showed a negative correlation between death anxiety and self-liking among both Chinese and Austrian participants, but a negative correlation between death anxiety and self-competence only among Austrian participants. Studies 1B and 1C tested the correlations of personal vs. relational self-esteem with death anxiety and their moderating influence on mortality salience effects. Results revealed that for the Chinese, relational self-esteem showed a stronger negative correlation with death anxiety than did personal self-esteem. It also moderated the effects of mortality salience on worldview defense. In contrast, for German participants, personal rather than relational self-esteem moderated the effects of mortality salience on worldview defense. Taken together, these findings indicate that culture determines the type of self-esteem that serves as a buffer against death anxiety.
According to TMT, existential terror motivates individuals to follow social norms by which they maintain self-esteem and mitigate terror. Study 2 tested this by examining the changes in self-esteem when Chinese participants followed (or violated) the modesty norm. Results revealed that mortality salience led Chinese participants to follow the modesty norm by showing explicit self-effacement, but their implicit self-esteem also decreased. Moreover, when participants were reminded of their mortality, those who violated the norm by showing explicit self-enhancement reported higher implicit self-esteem than those who followed the norm. These findings indicate that when norm and self-esteem motives collide, following the norm engendered by mortality salience does not benefit self-esteem.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
Mobility safety, especially fall prevention, plays a significant role in successful aging for older adults. Fall preventive programs aim to reduce risks for mortality from fall-related injuries among older adults. However, the covariation between personal perceptions of falls and factors and confidence of self-management in falls (CSMoF) is still under-studied despite its importance to fall prevention. Using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model, this dissertation aimed to investigate the relative contribution of CSMoF in relation to fall risk self-perceptions while controlling for demographics and self-reported health and functioning. Participants were 691 older adults recruited from Area Agency on Aging at Arlington, Texas. They completed measures of physical functioning, CSMoF, fall risk perceptions and fear of falls. Regression analyses indicated that fear of falls was the most predictive factor of CSMoF among older persons. Physical function measures of age, chronic illnesses of metabolism, sensory impairment, and health status were also significant predictors of the CSMoF. The interaction of perception of falls and fall experience attenuated CSMoF, with physical functioning limitations. Fear of falls served as a mediator through which demographic predictors influence CSMoF. The joint effects of perception of falls and fear of falls likely explain CSMoF among older adults more than physical functional indicators. Fall prevention programs for older adults should prioritize to address modifiable subjective factors of fall perceptions, fear of falls, and CSMoF across health and functioning statuses. Fear of falls should be the center of CSMoF enhancement.

Full textAbstract:
In this research four models derived from Terror Management Theory (TMT) were tested by using structural equation modeling.. These models were developed for testing different theoretical alternatives in relation to psychological mechanisms explaining the subjective well-being as an outcome of fear of death. The first two models were based on the original Terror Management Theory. The first supposed that death anxiety as a catalyst motivates individuals in two defenses: developing culturally committed personalities by validation of cultural worldview and thus enhancing self-esteem. The second indicated that every individual had two options in the face of death: enhancing their self-esteem or committing to cultural worldview, in turn, improves the well-being of the individual. The last two models were identified by taking attachment as an alternative variable. In the third model, attachment styles of the individuals were presented as a third defense mechanism in addition to self-esteem and cultural worldview in TMT. They were assumed as mediator variables in the model between fear of death and subjective well-being. The last model treated attachment as a mediator between fear of death and distal defenses of self-esteem and cultural worldview.
The results indicated that only the last model was entirely supported.. The lack of support for the first two models might be an indicator of the invalidity of the model in cultures that are not individualistic. For the last two models, the results suggested that attachment was crucial in understanding the relationship between fear of death and subjective well-being from a TMT perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the present research was to investigate the issue of loss anxiety within the framework of disability and terror management theory. A questionnaire package was administered to 217 participants twice to examine the effects of mortality salience and disability salience. Besides mortality salience, paralysis salience was found to be effective. Highly conservative participants were becoming more conservative in the paralysis salience and mortality salience conditions. Content analysis was also conducted relating the participants&rsquoaccounts. It was concluded that death and disability were both inducing sadness for the participants. However, this sadness experience could have two different formats. The relation between experimental manipulations and global sadness accounts was not significant. However, the relationship between experimental manipulations and individual sadness accounts was significant. Participants in the mortality salience condition were experiencing less individual sadness than expected. In contrast, participants in the paralysis salience condition were experiencing more individual sadness than expected. It is concluded that death may not be the one and only fundamental fear as terror management theory suggests. Disability might be as fearful as death. A theoretical model is proposed for the alternative experimental manipulation in terror management theory studies. According to this conceptualization, an experimental manipulation could be successful if it satisfies the following three conditions: moderately fearful, highly imaginable/easily available and highly self-relevant. Any kind of loss which satisfies these conditions might result in cultural worldview defense. The threatening nature of disability might provide one more reason relating the importance of a disability-friendly environment.

Full textAbstract:
To understand attitudes about voting in Kenya, this study examines Kenyan voters’ feelings of freedom to vote according to their own will and without pressure. More specifically it seeks to determine the extent to which these feelings are affected by 1) perception of corruption, 2) levels of trust in the government, 3) fear of political violence and intimidation, and 4) ethnic identity. Rational choice theory and an insideroutsider perspective are applied to examine the issue from a theoretical framework. Previous research conducted in relation to voting behavior and perception of corruption, trust in government, and ethnicity, among other things, are considered. This study uses secondary data collected by the Afrobarometer in 2008, and bivaraite and multivariatea nalysis are employed.
Logistic regression models are used to examine the extent to which certain variables explain feelings of freedom to vote according to personal preference. The results from the logistic regression analyses show that both trust in government and fear of being subject to political violence and intimidation affect Kenyan voters’ feelings of freedom to vote according to their personal preference. These results support two hypotheses. First, Kenyan voters will feel freer to vote according to their own preference as their levels of trust in the government increase. Second, Kenyan voters’ feelings of freedom to vote will be negatively associated with fear of being subject to political violence and intimidation.

Full textAbstract:
HTML clipboardThis study is about Homeowner’s architectural responses to crime in Dar es Salaam Tanzania: its impacts and implications to urban architecture, urban design and urban management. The study explores and examines the processes through which homeowners respond to crimes of burglary, home robbery and fear of it using architectural or physical elements. The processes are explored and examined using case study methodology in three cases in Dar es Salaam. The cases are residential areas of Mikocheni B, Ilala Kasulu and Chang’ombe Housing. The findings from the three cases are compared and the common findings are illuminated and discussed using criminology, economic and social theories and concepts. The results of the study show that, homeowners physically and architecturally modify their home environments for many reasons. Homeowners do so by building or erecting wall fences around their houses and install or barricade doors and windows using metal bars. From the study, the notable main reasons are security and protection from burglary, thefts, home robbery and visual and physical privacy. Others include property marking, disputes and misunderstandings between neighbours and property encroachment by neighbours. In the study, it has been established that, the actions by the homeowners in responding to crime of burglary, thievery and home robberies have impacts and implications on the built environment. The impacts are: affects the visual experience of the built form by limiting view to houses; keeps neighbours apart thus limiting social interaction among residents; segregating public spaces and thus making them empty without people; encroaching on the streets; reducing surveilability of streets and neighbouring dwellings; create the impression of ‘private appearance’ therefore stigmataizing the residential neighbourhoods, all of which increase the vulnerability of areas as well as enhancing the ‘subjective’ feeling of fear in the areas. Furthermore, the responses pose risks to residents when fire evacuation from homes is required, including the effects that affect the environmental comfort conditions of homes and the overall built environment. Despite of the impacts to the built environment as summarised in the foregoing, the study has shown that, homeowners still erect wall fences and barricade their homes due to fear arising from previous crimes. On the basis of the impacts, a new approach to planning of residential housing areas is recommended in which the question of security against crime is included as design factor particularly in urban design. Either an approach to architectural design of houses and the layout of houses that considers crime as an important factor in addition to ‘target hardening’ approach is recommended to increase visibility and surveilability of built environments. The study concludes by highlighting five implications to urban architecture, urban design and urban management at planning and architectural design, considerations which may be of impacts towards improving built environment and management of the urban residential arena. The study ends by outlining and recommending areas of further research.QC 20100706

Walter, Sheryl L. "Who develops? Understanding the role of leadership mindset in developmental opportunities." Diss., University of Iowa, 2016. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2162.
Full textAbstract:
Billions of dollars are invested annually on leadership development interventions within organizations. And while these leadership development programs are generally effective, as evidenced by meta-analytic findings, researchers and organizational leaders alike are perplexed by the fact that some individuals’ leadership abilities do not show improvement after participating in a leadership development program. Drawing from social psychology and implicit person theory, I extend implicit self-theory into the leadership domain to examine leadership mindset, the belief an individual has about the malleability of leadership ability, and its relationship to leadership growth. Individuals with a more incremental leadership mindset believe that through hard work and effort they can improve their leadership ability. Individuals with a more fixed mindset, conversely, believe that leadership ability cannot be purposefully changed. Implicit self-theory would suggest that individuals with a more incremental mindset will have more leadership growth than individuals with a more fixed leadership mindset. Using self-regulation theory as a foundation, I propose that the effect of leadership mindset on leadership growth will be transferred through three mechanisms: negative feedback-seeking, reflection, and fear of failure. I also hypothesize that the relationship between these mediators and leadership growth will be stronger for leaders who have more developmental opportunities. Thus, I hypothesize a second-stage moderated mediation effect whereby the effect of leadership mindset on leadership growth through negative feedback-seeking, reflection, and fear of failure is stronger when individuals have more developmental opportunities.

Full textAbstract:
Resource and visitor experience degradation in Haleakalā National Park resulting from recreational use of the Pools of 'Ohe'o has led park officials to discourage visitor use of the pools. This study uses the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to examine relationships among visitors' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control with regard to exploring the pools, their intentions to explore, and their actual behaviors while visiting the pools. Further, this study examines the influence of persuasive messages on visitors' behavior at the pools. Persuasive message treatments emphasize either the dangers of exploring the Pools of 'Ohe'o or resource protection and visitor experience impacts of recreational use at the pools. Through regression analysis of attitudes, norms, and perceived behavioral control with intention to explore, TPB is generally found to be an effective model for understanding visitor behavior at 'Ohe'o's Pools, particularly when visitors are exposed to persuasive messages. Results of analysis of variance indicate that the TPB model components of attitudes and subjective norms with regard to traveling companions and National Park Service officials are influenced by exposure to the persuasive treatment messages. Additionally, both intention to explore the pools and observed exploration behavior are significantly lower among those visitors receiving any persuasive treatment message. Thus, results of this research generally support the individual relationships assumed within TPB. With identification of the most influential components of visitor behavior, as understood through the TPB model developed in this study, managers of Haleakalā National Park will be able to develop and apply persuasive interpretive messages that maximize safe and sensitive visitor recreational behavior at the Pools of 'Ohe'o.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Une organisation, c'est avant tout des hommes et des moyens pour atteindre desobjectifs, et les réseaux subsahariens de proxénétisme ne dérogent pas à cette règle. Comme touteorganisation ils structurent et mobilisent des acteurs, mettent en place des stratégies pour arriver àleurs fins. En même temps la question de l'organisation suscite entre autre celle de l'environnementorganisationnel, car toute organisation vit et évolue dans un environnement donné avec lequel secréent des interactions. La problématique de la dynamique organisationnelle des réseauxsubsahariens de proxénétisme soulève celle de leur visibilité et de leur légitimité dans cetenvironnement, car ce sont des organisations criminelles, secrètes, et donc ne pouvant bénéficierd'aucune publicité. Pourtant, ces réseaux fonctionnent bel et bien, et les conséquences de leursactions sont bien perceptibles. Comment comprendre cette possibilité de fonctionnement dans detelles circonstances ? Il est certain que les jeunes femmes recrutées par les proxénètes subsaharienssubissent un management par la terreur. Cependant un élément déterminant laisse supposer que cesjeunes femmes vivent dans une peur qui va au-delà de la simple peur du proxénète : le phénomène« vaudou », propre aux réalités socioculturelles des sociétés subsahariennes. L'environnementinstitutionnel des réseaux subsahariens de proxénétisme inspirerait-il leur fonctionnement ? Cettethèse se propose d'apporter un éclairage sur le fonctionnement et les pratiques organisationnellesdes réseaux subsahariens de proxénétisme, à la lumière de la théorie du néo-institutionnalisme etcelle de la contingence. Ces deux théories mettent en évidence la relation d'influence possible entrel'environnement d'une organisation et son comportementAn organization, it is primarily men and means to achieve goals, and sub-Saharanpimping networks are no exception to this rule. Like any organization they structure and mobilizestakeholders, implement strategies to achieve their goals. At the same time the question of theorganization causes including that of the organizational environment as an organization exists andevolves in a given environment with which interactions are created. The problem of organizationaldynamics of sub-Saharan pimping networks, raises the question of their visibility and legitimacy inthis environment, because they are criminal, secret organizations and therefore not eligible for anyadvertising. However, these networks do work well and the consequences of their actions areperceived. How to understand the possibility of operating in such circumstances ? It's certain, thatyoung women recruited by sub-Saharian pimps undergo management by terror. A key elementsuggests that these women live in fear that goes beyond the simple fear of the pimp. It's the« voodoo », a phenomenon linked to the socio-cultural realities of sub-Saharan communities. Doesthe institutional environment of sub-Saharan pimping networks inspire their operation ? This thesisaims to shed light on organizational practices and the operation of sub-Saharan pimping networks,in the light of two theories : neo-institutionalism and contingency. Both theories emphasize therelationship with the environment that can affect an organization and its behavior

Breakthrough innovations are vital for the global economy and even our survival as a species. They appear as creative leaps and insights without obvious connection to existing knowledge and are extremely valuable to organisations, giving them significant competitive advantage. Historiometric and psychopathological evidence shows that breakthrough innovations are often associated with individuals and affective dysfunction; yet innovation today is widely held to be an organisational phenomenon operationalised though a model of creativity based on positive affective experiences and group activities which may be particularly unsuited to innovative thinkers. Research upon which the current paradigm for creativity and innovation are based is detached from real world outcomes and has been challenged as to its validity. Little data exists outside of experiments or indirect observation of naturally occurring affective experiences and the mood-creativity-innovation link has yet to be proven; we still know very little about how breakthrough innovations occur. This unique study addresses this significant gap in innovation research with a two-year longitudinal case study of a breakthrough innovation being developed for a multi-national Fast-Moving Consumer Goods company. It followed the journey of a lone innovator and attempts to answer the research question: “Can a fear of failure lead to breakthrough innovation?” The innovation space was investigated from three perspectives: technology, organisation and innovator, to build a picture of the highly immersive and emotionally charged experience of innovating. Many new insights were gained, and with extensive support from literature, new tools for the management of technology and the interface between innovators and organisations were developed, along with ground-breaking research into the mood-creativity innovation link. These are delivered through a series of four journal papers. The key finding from this research has been the discovery of the innovation-wave, a phenomenon which for the first time provides evidence for the mood-creativity-innovation link; intimately connecting real-world creative efficacy with emotion and specifically a ‘fear of failure’. From this finding a new theory and psycho-cognitive model for a distinct form of creativity called innovative thinking, driven by negative affect (mood) and specifically suited to achieving a breakthrough innovation through overcoming apparently insoluble problems, was posited and a hypothesis proposed and tested using a sophisticated innovation simulation developed especially for this purpose. Evidence from the case study and later experiment provide support for the research question and the lone innovator. This study makes a unique contribution to our understanding of creativity and innovation which could have a significant impact on how both are researched, taught and managed in the future. Being able to understand and possibly manipulate the innovation-wave, if proven correct, could be vitally important for maximising the potential for creating breakthrough innovations to the benefit of us all.

Full textAbstract:
Prior to 2010, megrim in the northern North Sea was not considered in the annual stock assessment for the species on the Northern Shelf. The underlying aim of this study was to fill some of the current knowledge gaps in megrim biology and ecology in the northern North Sea, providing improved scientific information that is intended to assist in the development of an informed assessment of the stock in future years. Changes in the distribution and relative abundance of common megrim Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis in the North Sea were investigated by comparing three data sources: fishers' knowledge collected through a structured questionnaire; a vessel's haul-by-haul catch data from the personal diaries of a single skipper over a 10-year time-series, and catch rates from fishery-independent surveys (IBTS Q1 and Q3). A number of life history characteristics of the common megrim Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis (Walbaum) were compared between the northern North Sea and Rockall, the latitudinal extremes of the species' distribution on the Northern Shelf. An estimation of the potential and relative fecundity of L. whiffiagonis was also presented for the first time. Furthermore, genetic analyses of adult megrims captured on the Northern Shelf were used to determine whether there was evidence of separate populations on the northern Shelf, the geographic distributions of any separate populations and whether the evidence from this genetic study supports the management units implemented in 2011. Finally, temporal variation in megrim discarding in the mixed demersal fishery in the northern North Sea prior to, and following recent quota increases was investigated. Logistic regression models were applied to investigate the effects of a range of explanatory factors on the probability of individual fish being discarded.

En utilisant une approche compréhensive, notre recherche vise à comprendre la mise en place d'un projet de changement, en prenant le phénomène dans son contexte et en mettant les acteurs au centre du système. L'étude de cas a été adoptée comme stratégie de recherche. Avec l'étude du Projet "Réussir le développement du management de projet à la SNCF", nous espérons répondre à la question: Comment se déroule la mise oeuvre du management de projet dans les grandes entreprises publiques et quels sont les impacts sur les routines de travail ? Nous constatons que le management de projet à la SNCF est encore dans une phase embryonnaire et que la démarche trouvera des obstacles naturels lors de sa mise en oeuvre dans les entreprises publiques. La sensibilisation, lente et à long terme, présuppose l'engagement des dirigeants, la légitimation d'un département management de projets, la connaissance des contextes multiprojets et la création d'une carrière chef de projet.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of using human patient simulation (HPS) to teach Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) management to grandparents of grandchildren with T1DM. Thirty grandparents (11 male, 19 female) of young grandchildren (aged 12 and under) with T1DM were recruited from an urban medical center. Experimental group (n = 14) grandparents received hands-on visual T1DM management education using an HPS intervention, and control group (n = 16) grandparents received similar education using a non-HPS intervention.
Post-intervention, researchers interviewed twelve grandparents (50% HPS, 50% non-HPS) who scored highest and lowest on the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey. Using a mixed-method design, researchers integrated study instrument data and post-intervention interview data to describe grandparent’s experience learning T1DM management. Post-intervention, grandparent scores for knowledge, confidence, and fear showed no significant difference by group assignment, however, all grandparent scores showed improvement from Time 1 to Time 2. Grandparents described how taking part in T1DM education heightened their awareness of T1DM risks. GP T1DM knowledge gains aided GPs to make sense of T1DM risks. Newfound T1DM knowledge enhanced GP T1DM management confidence. Improved T1DM knowledge and confidence helped to defuse T1DM management fear. Although study instruments did not measure significant difference between grandparents who received the HPS intervention and those who did not, the consistency of larger HPS-taught grandparent score improvement is suggestive of a benefit for HPS.

Dans le cadre de cette recherche doctorale, les analystes locales civiles, travaillant au sein de diverses zones de police belges, ont été étudiées dans la mesure où leur fonction est censée être au cœur de changements annoncés comme essentiels dans le fonctionnement de l’institution policière, en particulier en matière de planification de la politique policière et des activités opérationnelles.Au travers d’une étude empirique inductive et compréhensive du travail et des interactions des analystes au sein de divers états-majors policiers, ont ainsi été étudiés des pratiques et outils organisationnels de pilotage et d’évaluation de l’action policière, mais surtout les pratiques de celles et (plus rarement) ceux chargés d’en assumer la réalisation et d’appuyer la prise de décision par les hiérarchies policières. Cet examen éclaire au passage les activités organisatrices de la hiérarchie et celles d’acteurs opérationnels, à la fois opérateurs et premiers affectés par de telles pratiques et outils gestionnaires, que ce soit en devant les alimenter ou en voyant leurs tâches affectées par les usages qui en sont faits par la hiérarchie.La démarche adoptée est ainsi celle d’une investigation « par le bas » du sens d’une fonction, c’est-à-dire au travers de sa mise en œuvre concrète et quotidienne, et dans une large mesure éminemment technique, par ses acteurs attitrés.

Full textAbstract:
Cette these aborde la question de la tarification des services de transport et de ses repercussions en terme de bien-etre social. Il s'agit, dans un premier temps d'identifier les pratiques tarifaires en vigueur dans le secteur du transport collectif de voyageurs (modes aerien et ferre) pour les relations interurbaines et d'en retracer les evolutions les plus recentes. L'abandon de la tarification uniforme au profit des techniques de yield management autorise la mise en oeuvre de strategies tarifaires prix-capacite. La premiere partie de ce travail s'acheve sur une presentation detaillee des techniques de yield management, fondees simultanement sur une tarification differenciee et un contingentement par classes tarifaires. La deuxieme partie est integralement consacree aux implications des differentes strategies tarifaires, precedemment identifiees, sur le bien-etre social. Les themes de la discrimination par les prix, de la tarification binome et de la tarification de la pointe y sont notamment abordes d'un point de vue theorique. Par ailleurs, le probleme de la redistribution spatiale via les tarifs publics est etudie. Nous proposons une version amendee du modele de feldstein qui autorise l'introduction dans l'analyse de composantes redistributives << spatialisees >>. L'etude empirique realisee permet d'affirmer que l'abandon de la perequation tarifaire par la sncf sur les relations tgv, pratiquee pour des motifs exclusivement commerciaux, ne va pas a l'encontre de l'equite spatiale. Enfin, nous abordons une forme tres specifique de la discrimination par les prix au deuxieme degre, a savoir, les rabais sur achats avances, mieux connus sous leurs denominations commerciales : decouverte joker 8 et decouverte joker 30 a la sncf, vol super loisir pour air france. Une application empirique, permettant de comparer les differentes strategies tarifaires utilisees a la sncf entre 1993 et 1999, est egalement menee.

Full textAbstract:
Le trafic ferroviaire urbain est quotidiennement sujet à des perturbations qui le dévient de son comportement nominal. Afin de minimiser l'impact de ces perturbations, les opérateurs ferroviaires usent de diverses techniques. Nonobstant leur efficacité, les performances de ces techniques ne sont généralement pas bien étudiées ni sont-elles optimales, car élaborées empiriquement. C'est dans ce cadre-ci que vient cet ouvrage fournir des solutions qui permettent d'évaluer ces techniques de régulation et d'en comparer les performances dans des contextes variés. L’approche proposée se base sur des variantes de réseaux de Petri comme modèles et sur la méthode de Monte-Carlo pour en simuler l’exécution. Cette combinaison a donné naissance à SIMSTORS, un outil de simulation pour les systèmes ferroviaires urbains, et plus généralement, pour les systèmes stochastiques régulés. Additionnellement, nous nous intéressons dans cette thèse à la problématique de la réalisabilité des tables horaires qui pilotent le trafic ferroviaire. Ces tables décrivent le comportement temporel désiré des systèmes pour lesquels elles sont conçues. Or, la construction de ces tables ne garantit pas toujours sa réalisabilité, notamment dans un contexte stochastique. Ainsi, nous proposons ici une méthode permettant de vérifier si une table horaire est bien réalisable avec une probabilité strictement positiveUrban rail traffic is subject to numerous disrupting events that drift it from its nominal behavior. In order to minimize the impact of these disturbances, rail operators rely on a set of techniques. Despite their efficiency, performances of theses techniques are rarely well studied, nor are they of proven optimality; a direct consequence of them being empirically built. It is in this particular context that comes our work to provide solutions that allow for the evaluation of such techniques and for the comparison of their relative performances in various scenarios. The proposed approach is based on variants of Petri nets as models, and on the Monte-Carlo method for the simulation of their execution. This combination has led to the development of SIMSTORS, a tool for the simulation of urban rail systems, and more generally, stochastic systems under dynamic rescheduling. Additionally, this thesis addresses the question of timetable realizability; that is whether or not a given timetable is indeed realizable by a system for which it was built. Indeed, a timetable is meant to drive the behavior of a system but there is no guarantee as to its realizability. We therefore propose a method for the verification of the realizability of timetables with a strictly positive probability

Previous issue date: 2010-04-27Water production is unavoidable during a petrol well s lifetime. The amount of produced water associated with oil varies a lot. It can reach values which account to 50% in volume up to nearly 100%, at the end of the well s economic life. It could be verified that, once the water reaches the productive wells, there must be a management of this produced water. Its destiny is defined after a precise study, after which the best option is chosen between relieving it into the environment, re-injecting it into the producing container or disposing it into non-producing formations. Whichever option is made by the involved professionals, after the necessary analysis, it shall consider, besides the technical and economical aspects, also the alternatives which entail less environmental impact. The purpose of the present research is to conduct a study about the application of the constitutional principle of efficiency on the instruments worked out by the public administration on water management, specifically the water use licence and charging for the use in the management of water resources applicable to water production at the petrol wells. In this attempt, before entering the proper approach of the efficiency of the mentioned instruments, it was necessary not only bring to light the doctrinal perception about the constitutional principle of administrative efficiency, but also make some considerations concerning to the structure of the national water resources management, set by the Federal Constitution (1988) and the federal legislation (9433/97)

Full textAbstract:
Os estudos sobre gestão de carreira, quer sejam no âmbito organizacional ou individual, são algo recente na literatura. Atualmente, entende-se que a responsabilidade pela gestão da carreira é das pessoas e que a sua consolidação ocorre ao longo das experiências de vida pessoal e profissional. Com as mudanças originadas pela globalização, novas tecnologias e aumento da competitividade, o contrato psicológico de trabalho migrou de um modelo de emprego vitalício para um modelo de independência e autonomia, onde o indivíduo é responsável pela gestão e desenvolvimento de sua própria carreira. Essas mudanças influenciaram os conceito de carreira e demandaram o desenvolvimento de teorias que considerassem aspectos relacionados à mobilidade, à busca de um sentido para o trabalho e ao sucesso psicológico, tais como a carreira sem fronteiras e a carreira proteana. Considerando a escassez e a necessidade de estudos empíricos no Brasil acerca do tema, o presente trabalho teve como principal objetivo identificar e analisar se a atitude de carreira de universitários tem relação com as novas teorias de carreira. O perfil de carreira agrupa os indivíduos de acordo com a presença de atitudes de carreira proteana, representada pelas dimensões autodirecionamento e orientação pelos valores, e de atitudes de carreira sem fronteiras, representada pelas dimensões mobilidade psicológica e mobilidade física. Esta é uma pesquisa descritiva, com características quantitativa e qualitativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada através da aplicação de um questionário, cujas escalas foram validadas nos Estados Unidos e no Brasil, bem como pela realização de entrevistas. A amostra é não probabilística e intencional e foi formada por 140 estudantes de graduação da Faculdade de Administração, Economia e Contabilidade da USP. A validação da escala de atitude de carreira foi feita a partir da análise da confiabilidade e consistência interna do instrumento de pesquisa, com base no software SPSS - Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Os resultados obtidos através da técnica de análise fatorial foram satisfatórios no que tange à confiabilidade, utilizado o software SPSS. Com base nos dados estatísticos, os escores gerais de carreiras proteana e sem fronteiras apresentaram uma relação positiva, indicando a existência de uma correlação geral entre os dois modelos de carreira para a amostra deste estudo. Os resultados desta pesquisa, no geral, apontam a presença de direcionamento pelos valores, autodirecionamento da carreira, mobilidades física e psicológica, indicando que os respondentes apresentam atitudes de carreiras favoráveis para enfrentar as mudanças exigidas pelo mercado de trabalho. Estas atitudes são mais relevantes para os que fizeram a disciplina Gestão de Carreira, o que também foi confirmado pelas entrevistas. Com isso, conclui-se ser relevante discutir a gestão de carreira no início da carreira profissional desses jovens discentes, que estão entrando no mercado de trabalho. Para esses jovens, essas novas carreiras são uma realidade, ainda que se verifique se tratar de um movimento, não podendo ser ainda considerado como fato para todos os indivíduos pesquisados. Acompanhar a trajetória profissional desses alunos, ampliando a pesquisa com outras variáveis, agregará ao estudo um maior detalhamento sobre as inclinações de carreiras desses indivíduos. Ainda, as discussões deste trabalho, além de contribuírem para as reflexões acerca do assunto gestão de carreira no Brasil, abrem portas para pesquisas com egressos que estejam no mercado de trabalho há mais tempo, ampliando a discussão dos resultados de correlação entre os modelos de carreira proteana e sem fronteiras.Studies on career management, whether organizational or individual, are something new in literature. Currently, it is understood that the responsibility for the career management is of the person and that its consolidation takes place over the experiences of personal and professional life. With the changes arising from globalization, new technologies and increased competition, the work\'s psychological contract migrated from a lifetime employment model to an independence and autonomy model, where the individual is responsible for the management and development of his own career. These changes influenced the concept of career and demanded the development of theories that consider aspects related to mobility, the search of a meaning to work and psychological success, such as boundaryless career and protean career. Considering the scarcity and the need for empirical studies in Brazil on the subject, this study aimed to identify and analyze if the career atitude of university students is related to the new career theories. The career profile groups the individuals according to the presence of protean career attitudes, represented by self-direction dimensions and values orientation, and attitudes of a boundaryless career, represented by the dimensions of psychological mobility and physical mobility. This is a descriptive research with quantitative and qualitative characteristics. Data collection was performed by applying a questionnaire, whose scales were validated in the United States and Brazil, as well as conducting interviews. The sample is not probabilistic and intentional and was formed by 140 undergraduate students of USP\'s School of Business, Economics and Accounting. The validation of the career attitude scale was made by the analysis of reliability and internal consistency of the survey instrument based on SPSS - Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The results obtained through the factorial analysis technique were satisfactory in terms of reliability, using the SPSS software. Based on statistics, the overall scoresof protean careers and boundaryless career presented a positive relation, indicating the existence of a general correlation between the two career models for this study\'s sample. Theresults of this research, in general, indicate the presence of targeting by values, career selfdirection, physical and psychological mobility, indicating that respondents have career attitudes favorable to face the changes required by the labor market. These attitudes are more relevant to those who made the Career Management discipline, which was also confirmed by interviews. Thereby, it is concluded to be relevant to discuss career management at the beginning of the career of these young students, who are entering the labor market. For these young people, these new careers are a reality, even if it is verified to be a movement, and can not be considered as a fact for all individuals surveyed. Follow the career path of these students, expanding research with other variables, will add to the study greater details on the slopes careers of these individuals. The discussions of this work, besides contributing to the reflections on the career management business in Brazil, opens doors for research with graduates who are in the labor market longer, expanding the discussion of correlation results between protean and boundaryless career models.

Full textAbstract:
L’objet de la présente étude relève d’une approche technologique du domaine ibérique à la fin de l’Âge du Fer. L’orientation donnée à notre étude est celle d’un intérêt porté à l’origine d’une innovation : les pratiques de cuisson de la céramique ibérique. Il s’agit d’identifier les modalités selon lesquelles s’articulent matières disponibles, techniques et matériaux fabriqués et de mettre en évidence les jeux d’actions et de rétroactions qui existent entre ces trois composantes au sein de la vallée de l’Èbre. L’étude du matériel issu d’un centre de production – l’atelier de potiers du Mas de Moreno (Foz-Calanda, Teruel, Espagne ; iiie-ier s. av. J.-C.) – revêt dans ce cadre un intérêt particulier : en s’attachant à ce qui relève du raté, il devient possible d’isoler les causes du refus et, par contraste, de mettre en évidence les choix caractérisant une situation normale de production. L’analyse des matériaux fabriqués au sein de l’atelier permet alors d’illustrer la complexité des mécanismes en jeu. En s’attachant à l’articulation entre la gestion des aspects thermiques liés à la cuisson et la mise en œuvre d’une matière argileuse aux qualités particulières, il est possible de proposer une restitution des modalités de gestion du risque au cours de la production. L’acceptation d’une part de risque apparaît alors comme un des moteurs de l’innovation, autorisant une évolution progressive des pratiques de cuisson et l’adoption de techniques nouvellesThis work aims to understand the technological history of Iron Age Iberia, particularly by focusing on Iberian ceramic firing practices. By highlighting feedbacks and interconnections, main objectives of this thesis are the investigation of the links between the pathways of row material, knowhow and products evolution in the Ebro valley. Details investigations were conducted on the potter workshop of the Mas de Moreno (Foz-Calanda, Teruel, Spain; 3rd-1st c. BC). Here the examination of the variety of defects and failures during the production process allowed a specification of the ideal process. The overall complexity of the production process was evaluated by chemical and mineralogical material analysis. Thermal details of ceramic firing and peculiar properties of the used clayey material enabled us, for the first time, to propose a hypothesis on the production risk management. It appears that the acceptance of risk was the driving force for innovation, allowing for a gradual and steady evolution of the firing practices and the adoption of new techniques

Због сложености њихове природе, од кључног је значаја да се ревидирају концептуални и методолошки оквири за разумевање и предвиђање пада у популацији старих особа. Циљеви истраживања. Утврдити учесталост падова код особа старијих од 65 година; утврдити најзначајније факторе ризика од пада и проценити њихову интеракцију са функционалним способностима и забринутост због пада. Материјал и методологија. Истраживање је спроведено у од фебруара до јуна 2014. године у виду студије пресека и обухватило је 400 испитаника старијих од 65 година. Испитаници су тестирани у кућним условима приликом посете патронажне службе. Коришћени су следећи инструменти: општи упитник, Elderly Fall Screening Test – ЕFST, Multi-factor Falls Questionnaire – MFQ, Tinetti Balance Assessment, Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale − IADL, Falls Efficacy Scale International FES-I. Стaтистички прорaчуни су вршени прогрaмом SPSS верзијa 20. Резултати истраживања. Резултати студије показују да је пад доживело 55% испитаника. Регресиони модел EFST са варијаблама био је статистички значајан, а као независни предиктори показали су се женски пол (OR = 2,751; < 0,001), године старости (OR = 1,138; p < 0,001), и степен образовања (OR = 0,554; p = 0,027). Слични резултати су добијении и за регресиони модел са Тинетијевим скором где су се као независни предиктори показали пол (Beta = -0,107; p = 0,029) старост (Beta = -0,260; p < 0,001) и степен образовања (Beta = 0,191; p < 0,001). Све корелације између ЕFST, FESI, IADL и скором Тинетијевог теста биле су статистички значајне (p < 0,05). Вредности скора FESI биле су у јакој позитивној корелацији са скором ЕFST и изузетно негативној корелацији са IADL и скором Тинетијевог теста. Скор ЕFST показао је умерену негативну корелацију са скором IADL и јаку негативну са скором Тинетијевог теста, док су скор IADL и скор Тинетијевог теста показали умерену позитивну корелацију. Модел EFST био је статистички значајан и у целини тачно класификује 83,3% случајева. Варијабле које су се показале као независни предиктори били су: Тинети скор (OR = 0,783; p < 0,001), скор (OR = 1,041; p = 0,019) и ортостатска хипотензија (OR = 2,291; p = 0,035). Закључак. У испитиваној популацији падови су веома учестала појава и више од половине особа доживела је пад у последњих годину дана. У повећаном ризику од пада су жене. Такође ризик од пада повећава се са годинама старости. Нижи степен образовања показао се као независни предиктор пада. Предикција ризика од пада утврђеног на основу скрининг тест за пад код старих особа у општој популацији могућа је уз висок степен детерминације на основу скора Тинетијевог теста и, скора FESI и ортостатске хипотензије.Uvod. Godišnje najmanje 30% osoba starijih od 65 godina doživi jedan ili više padova. Sa povećanjem godina povećava se i ozbiljnost komplikacija usled pada, stepen funkcionalnog oštećenja i nivo invaliditeta. Odgovornost za pad pripisuje se mnogim faktorima rizika. Zbog složenosti njihove prirode, od ključnog je značaja da se revidiraju konceptualni i metodološki okviri za razumevanje i predviđanje pada u populaciji starih osoba. Ciljevi istraživanja. Utvrditi učestalost padova kod osoba starijih od 65 godina; utvrditi najznačajnije faktore rizika od pada i proceniti njihovu interakciju sa funkcionalnim sposobnostima i zabrinutost zbog pada. Materijal i metodologija. Istraživanje je sprovedeno u od februara do juna 2014. godine u vidu studije preseka i obuhvatilo je 400 ispitanika starijih od 65 godina. Ispitanici su testirani u kućnim uslovima prilikom posete patronažne službe. Korišćeni su sledeći instrumenti: opšti upitnik, Elderly Fall Screening Test – EFST, Multi-factor Falls Questionnaire – MFQ, Tinetti Balance Assessment, Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale − IADL, Falls Efficacy Scale International FES-I. Statistički proračuni su vršeni programom SPSS verzija 20. Rezultati istraživanja. Rezultati studije pokazuju da je pad doživelo 55% ispitanika. Regresioni model EFST sa varijablama bio je statistički značajan, a kao nezavisni prediktori pokazali su se ženski pol (OR = 2,751; < 0,001), godine starosti (OR = 1,138; p < 0,001), i stepen obrazovanja (OR = 0,554; p = 0,027). Slični rezultati su dobijenii i za regresioni model sa Tinetijevim skorom gde su se kao nezavisni prediktori pokazali pol (Beta = -0,107; p = 0,029) starost (Beta = -0,260; p < 0,001) i stepen obrazovanja (Beta = 0,191; p < 0,001). Sve korelacije između EFST, FESI, IADL i skorom Tinetijevog testa bile su statistički značajne (p < 0,05). Vrednosti skora FESI bile su u jakoj pozitivnoj korelaciji sa skorom EFST i izuzetno negativnoj korelaciji sa IADL i skorom Tinetijevog testa. Skor EFST pokazao je umerenu negativnu korelaciju sa skorom IADL i jaku negativnu sa skorom Tinetijevog testa, dok su skor IADL i skor Tinetijevog testa pokazali umerenu pozitivnu korelaciju. Model EFST bio je statistički značajan i u celini tačno klasifikuje 83,3% slučajeva. Varijable koje su se pokazale kao nezavisni prediktori bili su: Tineti skor (OR = 0,783; p < 0,001), skor (OR = 1,041; p = 0,019) i ortostatska hipotenzija (OR = 2,291; p = 0,035). Zaključak. U ispitivanoj populaciji padovi su veoma učestala pojava i više od polovine osoba doživela je pad u poslednjih godinu dana. U povećanom riziku od pada su žene. Takođe rizik od pada povećava se sa godinama starosti. Niži stepen obrazovanja pokazao se kao nezavisni prediktor pada. Predikcija rizika od pada utvrđenog na osnovu skrining test za pad kod starih osoba u opštoj populaciji moguća je uz visok stepen determinacije na osnovu skora Tinetijevog testa i, skora FESI i ortostatske hipotenzije.
Introduction. Annually at least 30% of people over 65 experience one or more falls. With the increase in years, the severity of complications due to falls, degree of functional impairment and level of disability also increase. The responsibility for the fall is attributed to many risk factors. Due to the complexity of their nature, it is crucial that the conceptual and methodological frameworks for understanding and predicting the decline in the elderly population are revised. Research goals. Determine the incidence of falls in people over 65 years of age; identify the most important risk factors of the fall and evaluate their interaction with functional abilities and fear for falling. Material and methodology. The survey was conducted from February to June 2014 in the form of a cross sectional study and included 400 respondents over 65 years of age. Respondents were tested at home during a visit of the patronage service. The following instruments were used: general questionnaire, Elderly Fall Screening Test - EFST, Multi-factor Falls Questionnaire - MFQ, Tinetti Balance Assessment, Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale - IADL, Falls Efficacy Scale International FES-I. Statistical calculations were performed by the SPSS version 20 program. Research results. The results of the study show that the fall was experienced by 55% of respondents. The regression model EFST with variables was statistically significant, and as independent predictors the female sex (OR = 2,751; <0,001), age (OR = 1,138; p <0,001), and the level of education (OR = 0,554; p = 0.027) were shown. Similar results were obtained for the regression model with the Tinetti's score, where the gender (Beta = -0.107; p = 0.029) age (Beta = -0.260; p <0.001) and education (Beta = 0.191; p < 0.001) were shown as independent predictors. All correlations between EFST, FESI, IADL and the Tinetti's test score were statistically significant (p <0.05). The FESI score values were in a strong positive correlation with the EFST score and extremely negative correlation with IADL and the Tinetti’s test score. The EFST score showed a moderate negative correlation with the IADL score and a strong negative with the Tinetti’s test score, while the IADL score and the Tinetti test score showed moderate positive correlation. The EFST model was statistically significant and in its entirety accurately classified 83.3% of cases. Variables that proved to be independent predictors were: Tinetti score (OR = 0.783; p <0.001), score (OR = 1.041; p = 0.019) and orthostatic hypotension (OR = 2.291; p = 0.035). Conclusion. In the studied population, falls are a very common occurrence and more than half of the people experienced a fall in the past year. Women are at increased risk of falling. Also, the risk of falling increases with age. A lower level of education has proven to be an independent fall predictor. Prediction of the risk of a fall that has been established on the basis of a screening test for elderly people in the general population is possible with a high degree of determination based on the Tinetti test score and, recent FESI and orthostatic hypotension.

L’externalisation peut s’avérer une épée à double tranchant : face aux opportunités qu’elle présente, les dangers qu’elle engendre, s’ils ne sont pas suffisamment maitrisés, peuvent aller jusqu’à menacer la pérennité de l’entreprise. L'externalisation des Achats à caractère stratégique est de son côté assez émergente et nécessite donc la mise en place d’une nouvelle méthode organisationnelle dans les pratiques de l’entreprise. Cette recherche démontre qu’un modèle de management mixte (vertical et horizontal) peut s’avérer efficace pour l’externalisation des Achats à caractère stratégique et s’intéresse ensuite à tous les Achats de l’entreprise en développant un modèle d’aide à la décision du faire ou faire-faire des Achats. La méthodologie suivie est qualitative se basant sur une étude de cas approfondie et des entretiens d’expertsA great deal of attention has been paid to the performance of business networks in supply chain management, firms are collaborating more to develop long term business relationships. However, limited empirical evidence exists to validate a plural management model as a key success factor in a strategic supplier relationship. The purpose of this research is to enrich our understanding about how to manage an external provider relationship in case of outsourcing strategic procurement by providing empirical evidence. Then this research draws a decision making process for the Make-or-Buy of procurement activities which includes: Analysis of the current situation, Preparation for the Make-or-Buy choice, Scope of Make-or-Buy, Make-or-Buy analysis and Make-or-Buy choice. This research examines an in-depth qualitative case and contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche en ergonomie porte sur le travail d’articulation des dimensions sociales et économiques des entreprises sous-tendant la conception d’ordonnancements du personnel robustes dans un contexte social sensible.Le plus souvent considérée comme un levier de flexibilité par les entreprises, les apports croisés de la littérature en GRH et en ergonomie a permis de considérer l’ordonnancement comme une activité de management de ressources « distribué », soulevant ainsi des enjeux liés à la fois aux dimensions économiques et sociales des entreprises (santé, compétences, formation, satisfaction des agents). L’objectif de ce travail de recherche est d’apporter des éléments de compréhension sur ce travail multifacette d’articulation et sur son évaluation, et ce faisant de définir la robustesse des ordonnancements.Pour appréhender cette activité, répartie entre trois niveaux différents (stratégique, tactique, opérationnel), six types de recueils de données ont été réalisés : des entretiens semi-directifs, des observations de l’activité des ordonnanceurs du niveau tactique, des groupes de travail métiers et inter-métiers, ainsi que des entretiens d’auto-confrontation outillés par des plannings réalisés.Les résultats mettent en évidence une construction dynamique de la robustesse, comme étant le résultat des stratégies mises en œuvre par les ordonnanceurs des différents niveaux. A partir de la gestion de contraintes de nature humaine et opérationnelle, les stratégies de construction de la robustesse reposent sur les connaissances qu’ont les ordonnanceurs de la réglementation, du processus, des autres ordonnanceurs et des agents commerciaux. Les ordonnancements robustes prennent différentes formes (stable ou flexible, immédiate ou différée) et doivent permettre de résister aux aléas mais aussi de construire de marges de manœuvre pour le futur.Les retombées de notre recherche portent sur la définition de la robustesse dans le champ de l’ordonnancement du personnel, sur l’activité de conception distribuée inter-métiers et à l’identification des conditions favorables à la conception de tels ordonnancementsThis research in ergonomics focuses on the design of robust personnel schedules in a sensitive social context, based on the articulation work between the social and economic dimensions of companies .it is often seen as a lever for flexibility by companies. Research in ergonomics and human resources management shows that it possible to consider scheduling as a "distributed" resource management activity, which raises issues related to both the economic and social dimensions of companies (health, skills, training, agent satisfaction). Our objectives are to understand how schedulers articulate theses dimensions, evaluate this work, and to define the robustness on scheduling.To understand this activity, divided between three different levels (strategic, tactical, operational), six types of data collection were carried out: semi-directive interviews, observations of the activity of planners at the tactical level, business and inter-business working groups, as well as self-confrontation interviews based on achieved schedules.The robustness is dynamically built from the constraint management strategies of schedulers. These are based on the schedulers’ knowledge : of regulations, of process, of other schedulers and commercial agents. Robustness takes different forms (stable or flexible, immediate or delayed) and must make it possible to resist disruptions but also to build room for manœuvre for the future.The impact of our research is related to the definition of robustness on personnel scheduling, to the joint collective activity and to the identification of the conditions in favour of robustness’ construction

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche ambitionne de comprendre comment les organisations publiques en mutation ont intégré à leur stratégie l’intention qui vise à « placer l’usager au cœur de l’organisation » dans leur management de la relation de service et à travers les outils mis en œuvre pour traduire ce discours en actes de management et d’expliquer comment ces choix en matière de gestion de la relation de service avec les usagers-clients affectent le sens du travail des agents en contact.L’analyse de la littérature s’articule autour de trois champs théoriques : le concept de la relation de service mobilisant des champs pluridisciplinaires, notamment celui de la sociologie, du marketing et de l’économie des services, le management des organisations publiques et plus particulièrement des organisations publiques en mutation dans un contexte d’ouverture à la concurrence et les modèles du sens au travail et de la construction du sens dans les organisations. L’objectif étant de comprendre comment la relation de service prend une place de plus en plus importante dans les organisations publiques comme préoccupation managériale dans un souci de développement de la performance et de mise en adéquation des besoins des usagers-clients avec les services délivrés par les organisations publiques.Deux études de cas ont été sélectionnées pour observer ces changements, le cas de La Poste et de la SNCF, deux anciens monopoles publics, qui sont ancrés dans les représentations collectives comme des institutions du quotidien des français et qui s’appuient sur une culture forte du service public. Ces études de cas ont été menées dans une démarche de recherche qualitative qui vise à faire émerger du discours des dirigeants, des managers de proximité et des agents en contact, les perceptions de ces outils et de ces changements dans la relation de service et les effets de ces outils sur le travail et plus particulièrement le sens du travail des agents.Les études de cas ont fait apparaître des résultats contre-intuitifs par rapport aux structures organisationnelles des deux institutions étudiées. Ainsi, les résultats permettent de montrer comment le choix de la normalisation et de l’accroissement du contrôle à La Poste développe une approche du service par la règle et la standardisation du travail de la relation de service qui crée une rupture culturelle dans les pratiques des postiers attachés à leur travail comme vecteur de lien social et au développement de perceptions de non-sens dans leur travail voire d’une certaine servitude qui les met dans des situations de souffrance au travailThis research seeks to understand how the public organizations in change integrated into their strategy the intention which aims at “placing the user in the middle of the organization” in their management of the relation of service and through the tools implemented to translate this speech into acts of management and to explain how these choices as regards management of the relation between service and the user-customers affect the direction of the work of the agents in contact.The analysis of the literature is articulated around three theoretical fields: the concept of the relation of service mobilizing of the multi-field fields, in particular that of sociology, the marketing and the economy of the services, the management of the public organizations and more particularly of the public organizations in change in a context of opening to competition and models of the direction to work and construction of the direction in the organizations. The objective being to understand how the relation of service takes an increasingly important place in the public organizations like managerial concern in a preoccupation of development of the performance and a setting in adequacy of the needs for the user-customers with the services delivered by the public organizations.Two case studies were selected to observe these changes, the case of the Post office and the SNCF, two old public monopolies, which are anchored in the collective representations like institutions of the daily newspaper of French and who is based on a strong culture of the public service. These case studies were conducted in a approach of qualitative research which aims at making emerge speech of the leaders, managers of proximity and agents in contact, perceptions of these tools and these changes in the relation of service and the effects of these tools on the work and more particularly the direction of the work of the agents.The case studies revealed against-intuitive results compared to the organisational structures of the two studied institutions. Thus, the results make it possible to show how the choice of the standardization and the increase in the control in the Post office develops an approach of the service by the rule and the standardization of the work of the relation of service which creates a cultural rupture in the practices of the post-office employees attached to their work like vector of social link and with the development of perceptions of nonsense in their work even of a certain constraint which puts them in situations of suffering at work.With the SNCF the choice to place the relation of service like a development project of competences multi-trades and in hierarchical co-education, with the concern Co-of conceiving the tools and the hot lines generates a cohesion of the teams and the valorization of a collective culture cheminote. The passage of a culture technician to a culture of service was approached while placing the internal customer like focal point of the programs to make in kind diffuse a common direction of the relation with the user-customer in phase with the reality of the agents. Lastly, we propose, a discussion and a conclusion to exceed the perimeter of research and to place this research like the starting point of a work on the relation of service and relational work in the public organizations

Full textAbstract:
En raison de problèmes opérationnels et d'autres événements inattendus, un grand nombre d'incidents se produisent quotidiennement dans les systèmes de transport ferroviaire. Certains d'entre eux ont un impact local, mais quelques fois, essentiellement dans les réseaux ferroviaires plus saturés, des petits incidents peuvent se propager à travers tout le réseau et perturber de manière significative les horaires des trains. Dans cette thèse doctorale, nous présentons le problème de réordonnancement de plan de circulation ferroviaire en cas d'incident comme la problématique de créer un plan de circulation provisoire de manière à minimiser les effets de la propagation des incidents. Ce travail est issu du projet MAGES (Module d'Aide à la Gestion des Sillons) qui développe des systèmes de régulation pour le trafic ferroviaire. Nous présentons deux modèles différents qui permettent de trouver des solutions à ce problème : Programmation Linéaire en Nombres Entiers (PLNE) et Programmation Par Contraintes (PPC). Du fait de la nature fortement combinatoire du problème et de la nécessité de répondre rapidement aux incidents, il ne paraît pas raisonnable d'envisager une résolution exacte. Les méthodes correctives proposées consistent donc à explorer un voisinage restreint des solutions : right-shift rescheduling; une méthode basée sur des coupes de proximité; une méthode d'analyse statistique de la propagation des incidents (SAPI) et un méthode basée sur la PPC. Additionnellement, certaines de ces méthodes ont été adaptées sous forme d'algorithmes itératifs avec l'objectif d'améliorer progressivement la solution quand le temps d'exécution le permet. SAPI est une des principales contributions de cette thèse. SAPI intègre les concepts de right-shift rescheduling avec les coupes de proximité. Du fait de la taille des réseaux en jeu et du nombre de circulations, les phénomènes complexes de propagation d'un incident font qu'il est très difficile de connaitre de manière précise les événements qui seront affectés. Toutefois, il est tout de même envisageable d'évaluer la probabilité qu'un événement soit affecté. Pour calculer cette probabilité, un modèle de régression logistique est utilisé avec des variables explicatives dérivées du réseau et des circulations. Diverses variantes de ces méthodes sont évaluées et comparées en utilisant deux réseaux ferroviaires localisés en France et au Chili. À partir des résultats obtenus, il est possible de conclure que SAPI est meilleure que les autres méthodes en terme de vitesse de convergence vers l'optimum pour les instances de petite taille et moyenne alors qu'une méthode coopérative PNLE/PPC est capable de trouver des solutions pour les instances de plus grande taille. La difficulté de comparer SAPI avec d'autres méthodes présentées dans la littérature nous a encouragés à appliquer la méthode à un autre problème. Ainsi, cette méthodologie a été également adaptée au problème de réordonnancement de passagers, vols et appareils (avions) en cas de perturbations, problème originalement proposé dans le contexte du Challenge ROADEF 2009. Les résultats montrent que SAPI est efficace pour résoudre ce problème avec des solutions au-dessus de la moyenne des équipes finalistes en obtenant la troisième place du challenge

Full textAbstract:
La première partie de ce travail concerne la production cyclique pour l'optimisation du taux de production dans les flowshops robotisés, où un robot est chargé du transport des pièces. Les cellules robotisées peuvent être disposées de façon linéaire ou circulaire. Les principaux résultats théoriques concernant la disposition linéaire ne peuvent être étendus à la configuration circulaire. En particulier, trouver le meilleur cycle de production de une pièce (1-cycle) est un problème polynomial dans le cas des cellules linéaires additives, mais NP-difficile pour la configuration correspondante circulaire.Nous nous concentrons principalement sur le cas des cellules circulaires équilibrées, où le temps d'usinage est identique sur toutes les machines. Après avoir présentés des outils pour l'analyse cyclique dans les cellules circulaires, nous établissons des propriétés nécessaires des 1-cycles performants, ce qui permet de conclure sur le problème du meilleur 1-cycle jusqu'à 8 machines. Toutefois, nous fournissons un contre-exemple pour 6 machines à la conjecture classique des 1-cycles, toujours ouverte dans cette configuration.Ensuite, nous étudions la structure des 1-cycles performants pour des cellules circulaires équilibrées arbitrairement grandes. Nous définissons et étudions les propriétés d'une nouvelle famille de cycles basée sur cette structure et formulons une conjecture sur sa dominance sur les 1-cycles qui conduirait à un algorithme polynomial pour le problème du meilleur 1-cycle dans ce cas. Cette structure permet de déterminer le meilleur 1-cycle jusqu'à 11 machines.Dans la deuxième partie, nous présentons le travail réalisé sur un problème industriel proposé par la SNCF dans le cadre du challenge ROADEF/EURO. Nous proposons un algorithme glouton pour ce problème combinant divers aspects de la gestion des trains au sein d'une gareThe first part of this work deals with cyclic production for throughput optimization in robotic flow-shops, where a robot is in charge of the material handling of parts. Robotic cells may have a linear or a circular layout. Most theoretical results for the linear layout do not hold for the circular layout. In particular, the problem of finding the best one part production cycle (1-cycle), which is a polynomial problem for linear additive cells, has been proved NP-hard for the corresponding circular configuration.We mainly focus on a special case of circular balanced cells, where the processing times are identical for all machines. After presenting tools for cyclic analysis in circular cells, we study necessary properties of efficient 1-cycles. These results allow to conclude on the best one part production cycle for any parameters in circular balanced cells up to 8 machines. However, we provide a counter-example to the classical 1-cycle conjecture, still open for this configuration.Then, we study the structure of efficient one part production cycles in arbitrarily large circular balanced cells. We introduce and study a new family of cycles based on this structure, and formulate a conjecture on its dominance over one part-production cycles, which would lead to a polynomial algorithm for finding the best 1-cycle for circular balanced cells. This structure allows to settle the best one part production cycle for cells with up to 11 machines.In a second part, we present work on an industrial problem of railway stock scheduling proposed by the French railway company in the context of the ROADEF/EURO competition. We propose a greedy algorithm for this problem combining the various aspects of trains handling inside a station

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse est d’analyser les contributions de Clément Colson à la science économique dans le but de mieux connaître sa pensée, de mieux connaître l’École libérale française au début du XXème siècle, d’étudier l’influence qu’a pu avoir cet auteur sur ses principaux élèves, Divisia, Roy et Rueff, et d’évaluer l’actualité de certaines de ses recommandations.Le premier chapitre montre quels sont les apports théoriques de Colson à la science économique.Pour ses élèves, son principal apport serait la théorie de la détermination conjointe du salaire et du taux d’intérêt. Nous montrerons que cette théorie est proche de la règle de gestion optimale en microéconomie attribuée à Clark ; nous verrons alors que l’on peut parler de découverte multiple.Colson est également intéressant au point de vue de la méthode utilisée. Nous verrons alors qu’il utilise les statistiques et les mathématiques dans ses développements : il est à l’origine d’une évaluation pionnière du revenu de la France, son enseignement impulse le calcul économique, il peut être considéré comme un précurseur de l’économétrie en France. Le deuxième chapitre montre que Colson développe la méthode de tarification des voies de communication exploitées en monopole de Jules Dupuit en proposant des moyens pratiques de révélation des préférences. Nous verrons également que cette théorie est reprise de nos jours avec le Yield Management et par les compagnies aériennes à bas coûts. Le troisième chapitre a pour but de voir comment Colson prend en compte la question sociale. Nous verrons qu’il défend une intervention de l’État plus importante que d’autres économistes libéraux afin d’éviter que les ouvriers ne se tournent vers le socialisme. Le quatrième chapitre étudie l’intervention de l’État préconisée par Colson dans le domaine des chemins de fer. Nous verrons que dans ce domaine où l’État est très présent, l’auteur souhaite le limiter. Il préfère ainsi la concession à la régie et souhaite la construction de nouvelles lignes uniquement si elles sont rentables. Nous verrons qu’à nouveau, la crainte du socialisme n’est pas étrangère à ses positions. Sur chacun des thèmes, nous verrons que Colson accorde à la pratique une place importante. Au niveau théorique tout part de l’observation et se termine par l’observation, au niveau pratique il est marqué par les préoccupations de son époqueThe object of this dissertation is to analyse the contributions of Clément Colson to the economics in order to be better acquainted with his thought, with the French Liberal School at the beginning of the 20th century, to see the influence he had on his main students, Divisia, Roy and Rueff, and to evaluate the actuality of his recomandations. The first chapter develops the Colson’s theoretical contributions.For his students, his main contribution would be the theory of the joint setting of wage and of the interest rate. We will explain this theory is close to the optimal management rule in microeconomics attributed to Clark; we will see we can speak then about multiple discovery.Colson is interesting too from the point of view of the method used. We will see he uses statistics and mathematics in his developments: he makes one of the first assesments of the French income, his lectures develop economics calculus, he can be seen as a precursor of econometrics in France. The second chapter shows that Colson develops the Jules Dupuit pricing method for means of communications exploited by a monopoly by proposing practical way of preferences revelation. We will show too that this theory is used nowadays with the Yield Management and by airline lowcost companies.The third chapter has for purpose to see how Colson takes into account the social question. We will see he argues for a more important State intervention than other liberal economists in order to avoid workers to turn to socialism. The fourth chapter is devoted to the State intervention recommended by Colson in the field of railways. We will see that in this field in which the State is very present, the author wishes to limit it. So he prefers the concession to the public exploitation and wishes construction of new railway lines just if they are profitable. We will see again that the fear of socialism is not stranger to his positions. On each theme, we will see that Colson gives an important place to the practice. At the theoretical level all starts and finishes with the observation, at the practice level he is influenced by the preoccupations of his time

Full textAbstract:
Dans plusieurs pays européens, la capacité de l’infrastructure est complètement exploitée aux heures de pointe et aux points critiques : une grande quantité de trains traversent ces points critiques dans un laps de temps très réduit. Dans cette situation le retard d’un train provoqué par un conflit de circulation peut se propager dans tout le réseau. Le problème de la gestion opérationnelle du trafic ferroviaire consiste à trouver les modifications des itinéraires et des ordonnancements des trains qui minimisent la propagation des retards. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons une approche de décomposition de Benders pour la formulation linéaire en nombres entiers à variables mixtes utilisée dans l’algorithme RECIFE-MILP. Après avoir constaté que l’approche de décomposition standard de Benders ne permet pas de trouver rapidement une solution de bonne qualité pour certaines instances du problème, nous étudions trois approches alternatives afin d’améliorer la performance de notre algorithme. Nous proposons d’abord une approche que nous appelons la reformulation réduite de Benders. Ensuite, nous introduisons des inégalités dans la formulation du problème maître de Benders. Finalement, nous scindons le processus de résolution en trois étapes au lieu de deux comme dans la décomposition standard de Benders. L'analyse expérimentale montre que la combinaison de la première et dernière approche surpasse l’algorithme original RECIFE-MILP dans la résolution de grandes instances sous certaines conditionsIn railway systems, during congested traffic situations, the infrastructure capacity is completely exploited for trains circulation. In these situations, when traffic is perturbed some trains must be stopped or slowed down for ensuring safety, and delays occur. The real-time Railway Traffic Management Problem (rtRTMP) is the problem of modifying trains route and schedule to limit delay propagation. In this thesis, we propose a Benders decomposition of a MILP-based algorithm for this problem, named RECIFE-MILP. After observing that the standard Benders decomposition (BD) does not allow the effective solution of rtRTMP instances, we study three possible approaches to improve the performance. Specifically, we first propose a modification of the problem reformulation which is typical of BD, obtaining what we call reduced BD. Then, we introduce some inequalities to the Benders master problem. Finally, we split the solution process in three steps rather than two as in the standard BD. As we show in a thorough experimental analysis, the combination of the first and last approaches outperforms the original RECIFE-MILP algorithm when tackling large instances with some specific features

Full textAbstract:
This research into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) presents the results of 60 first-person psycho-phenomenological interviews with 30 New Zealand women. The participants were recruited from the Canterbury and Wellington regions, 10 had recovered. Taking a non-dual, non-reductive embodied approach, the phenomenological data was analysed semiotically, using a graph-theoretical cluster analysis to elucidate the large number of resulting categories, and interpreted through the enactive approach to cognitive science.
The initial result of the analysis is a comprehensive exploration of the experience of CFS which develops subject-specific categories of experience and explores the relation of the illness to universal categories of experience, including self, ‘energy’, action, and being-able-to-do.
Transformations of the self surrounding being-able-to-do and not-being-able-to-do were shown to elucidate the illness process.
It is proposed that the concept ‘energy’ in the participants’ discourse is equivalent to the Mahayana Buddhist concept of ‘contact’. This characterises CFS as a breakdown of contact. Narrative content from the recovered interviewees reflects a reestablishment of contact.
The hypothesis that CFS is a disorder of action is investigated in detail.
A general model for the phenomenology and functional architecture of action is proposed. This model is a recursive loop involving felt meaning, contact, action, and perception and appears to be phenomenologically supported.
It is proposed that the CFS illness process is a dynamical decompensation of the subject’s action loop caused by a breakdown in the process of contact.
On this basis, a new interpretation of neurological findings in relation to CFS becomes possible. A neurological phenomenon that correlates with the illness and involves a brain region that has a similar structure to the action model’s recursive loop is identified in previous research results and compared with the action model and the results of this research. This correspondence may identify the brain regions involved in the illness process, which may provide an objective diagnostic test for the condition and approaches to treatment.
The implications of this model for cognitive science and CFS should be investigated through neurophenomenological research since the model stands to shed considerable light on the nature of consciousness, contact and agency.
Phenomenologically based treatments are proposed, along with suggestions for future research on CFS. The research may clarify the diagnostic criteria for CFS and guide management and treatment programmes, particularly multidimensional and interdisciplinary approaches.
Category theory is proposed as a foundation for a mathematisation of phenomenology.
