Oakey, David James. "The form and function of fixed collocational patterns in research articles in different academic disciplines." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2008. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/708/.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a comparative empirical study of fixed collocational patterns in written academic English. The fixed collocational pattern is a continuous string of words which is found to occur frequently in language data. This study uses lexical analysis software to study an electronic corpus of academic research articles in an attempt to identify and compare the forms and discourse functions of fixed collocational patterns in different disciplines. In comparative studies of the language of different academic disciplines there are two ways of collecting comparable amounts of corpus data, both of which are problematic. One approach is to subdivide existing normative (Sinclair 2005) corpora in order to allow comparisons to be made between different disciplines. The amount of data in each resulting subcorpus is often unequal, however, and results might be biased in favour of the subcorpus with the greatest number of texts or tokens. The other approach is to balance the number of tokens in each subcorpus by using incomplete text samples. This can mean that individual subcorpora do not completely represent all areas of the discourse, and some fixed collocational patterns which perform discourse functions relating to these areas may as a result be missed by the researcher. This study attempts to establish what might be a comparable amount of data by investigating fixed collocational patterns in two different comparative corpora. First it identifies fixed collocational patterns in an equal number of tokens in each discipline, i. e. an isolexical comparison. It then identifies fixed collocational patterns in an equal number of texts in each discipline, i. e. an isotextual comparison. The findings indicate that the same fixed collocational patterns are frequent in both versions of the corpus, and so what is frequent isolexically is also frequent isotextually. This suggests that an isotextual corpus is more suitable for comparative studies of the discourse functions of fixed collocational patterns, since it allows their functions to be investigated across similar numbers of communicative acts rather than across similar amounts of language. The thesis then compares these isotextual fixed collocational patterns with the results from two previous studies of an isolexical collocational pattern, the lexical bundle (Biber et al. 1999), one of which (Biber 2006) used data from a different academic genre, the other (Hyland 2008) data from three academic genres. There then follows a case study of the relationship between the lexical, semantic, and textual environments of the fixed collocational pattern in the case of the and its discourse functions. The thesis concludes by outlining areas of future research into fixed collocational patterns which have been suggested by the results of this study.

Abstract:
Denna studie jämför hur kommentarer till nätartiklar på Aftonbladet.se har förändrats från 2010 till 2011 vad gäller innehåll, språk och ton. Mellan dessa år har systemet för kommentering ändrats på Aftonbladet.se, från att det 2010 krävdes registrering och att kommentatorn fick välja ett valfritt alias, till att kommentering sker via ett redan registrerat Facebook-konto med kommentatorns riktiga namn. Studiens syfte är att ta reda på hur diskussionerna och språket i kommentarsfälten påverkas när kommentatorn inte längre får vara anonym. Med kvantitativ innehållsanalys undersöks två artiklars kommentarer per dag under en vecka, 14 till 20 oktober 2010 och 2011, 14 artiklar från varje år. Urvalet av artiklar utgår från vilka artiklar som topplacerats i Aftonbladets pappersupplaga samma dag. Totalt har 1452 kommentarer undersökts med 28 variabler. Variablerna berör bland annat huruvida kommentaren är kritisk, om den svarar på en annan kommentar och om den innehåller stavfel eller andra språkliga misstag. Efter att kodningen genomförts gjordes ett reliabilitetstest där 30 redan undersökta kommentarer analyserades en gång till för att stärka resultatets validitet. Huvudresultatet visar att det 2011 pågår en mer aktiv diskussion mellan de som kommenterar och att kvinnorna har tagit mer plats i kommentarsfälten än tidigare. Detta kan ha sin förklaring i att det är mer lättillgängligt att kommentera via ett Facebook-konto förutsatt att man redan har ett registrerat konto. Språkbruket är i princip det samma båda åren, men kommentarerna har blivit längre och mer sakliga.
This study compares reader comments on articles displayed on Aftonbladet.se, in terms of content and language. Between these years the system for commenting on Aftonbladet.se has changed from a registration, when the user could choose their own alias, to commenting using their already existing Facebook-account with the user’s real name. This study answers the question how and if the reader comments change when the option of being anonymous disappears. This study analyses readers’ comments of two articles every day during two weeks, October 14th to October 20th 2010 and 2011, with a total of 14 articles each year. The selection of articles was based on the articles placement in the printed newspaper Aftonbladet the same day. 1452 comments have been studied through 28 variables. Some of the most important variables were; whether the comment is critical, whether the comment answers another comment and if it contains spelling mistakes. In order to strengthen the validity of the study a test of the reliability was made and 30 comments were re-analysed one more time. The main results of the study indicates that the debate was more active between the users in 2011 than in 2010 and that women to a higher extent started to take place in the commenting area. These results are probably an effect of using the Facebook account for commenting, which is accessible and easy to use.

Abstract:
Cette recherche s’inscrit dans le domaine de la fiabilité des systèmes sociotechniques complexes, et vise à développer une nouvelle approche des arbitrages entre performance et sécurité : l’ingénierie de la résilience. La capacité des systèmes à risques à résister aux perturbations dépend, en dernière analyse, des acteurs de ces systèmes. Ceux-ci doivent réaliser des arbitrages entre des critères qui peuvent entrer en conflit : critères économiques immédiats (assurer la performance commerciale, par exemple), critères de sécurité (renoncer à satisfaire l’objectif immédiat de production). La thèse porte sur l’activité d’opérateurs d’une compagnie aérienne, en charge de répondre en temps réel à des appels d’équipages d’avions, qui signalent une complainte technique. Celle-ci peut-elle être traitée immédiatement : est-elle bénigne ou, au contraire, doit-elle conduire à l’annulation du vol concerné ? La thèse défendue est que, dans un système ultra sûr et ultra réglé, les conflits entre performance et sécurité se produisent lorsque la « sécurité gérée » rentre en conflit avec la « sécurité réglée ». Pour défendre cette thèse, trois études empiriques ont été mises en œuvre. Ainsi, plusieurs méthodes ont été utilisées en combinaison : l’observation et l’analyse de l’activité, la simulation d’activité, les questionnaires et les autoconfrontations.Les résultats obtenus ont permis, dans un premier temps, d’objectiver les arbitrages entre performance et sécurité, puis dans un second temps, d’identifier les critères qui président à ces arbitrages et d’expliciter les processus qui les sous-tendent. Ces résultats permettent, d’une part, de proposer des solutions acceptables telles que le retour d’expérience par la confrontation des pratiques, et d’assimiler la « sécurité gérée » comme un sous-ensemble de la « sécurité réglée », et d’autre part, de dépasser notre vision négative des violations, en les assimilant à une forme d’intelligence des opérateurs dans l’action
This research is in the field of reliability of complex socio-technical systems and aims to develop a new approach to allow trade-offs between performance and safety: engineering resilience. The ability of systems to cope with disturbances ultimately depends on the operators of these systems. They must make trade-offs between criteria that may conflict: immediate economic criteria (i.e. to ensure business performance), safety criteria (i.e. give up to meet the immediate production objective). The thesis focuses on the activity of an airline’s operators, in charge of assistance via telephone for aircrew who report a technical complaint. It can be treated immediately; is it benign, or conversely should it lead to the cancellation of the flight?The thesis assumes that in an ultra-safe and ultra rule-based system, conflicts between safety and performance occur when the "rule-based safety" conflicts with "adaptative safety". To defend this thesis, three empirical studies have been implemented. Thus, several methods were used in combination: observation and activity analysis, simulation of activities, questionnaires and auto-confrontation.The results obtained allowed at first to objectify the trade-offs between performance and safety, then in a second instance to identify the criteria governing such trade-offs and explain the processes that underlie them.These results permit, on one hand, to propose acceptable solutions such as the feedback by comparing the practices and assimilate the “adaptative safety” as a subset of “rule-based safety”, and on the other hand to overcome our negative view of violations by treating them as a form of operators’ intelligence in action

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: "Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being" - Goethe as quoted in Melum (2002). The science of leadership is an area that changes over time as organisations and individuals change, grow and develop. The more complex the nature of leadership, the more difficult and challenging the identification of leadership potential and the subsequent development of leaders. The global environment further places its own demands on leadership requirements and the development of global competencies. Powerful and sophisticated talent management strategies and performance management initiatives have become extremely important in the competitive global talent market. To effectively integrate talent management into organisational strategy, line managers should embrace a talent mindset. Talent management should follow organisational values and should furthermore be supported by the desire of individuals in the organisation to embrace such values. In order to effectively execute talent management, organisations should clearly define their leadership requirements and the roles in which they require leadership accountability. The difference between managers and leaders should be clear in terms of the organisation's requirements and organisations must ensure that the basic conditions for leadership, according to Jaques & Clement (1991 : 47) are in place: • "A person must have the necessary competence to carry the role, including strongly valuing it. • A person must be free from any severely debilitating psychological characteristics that interfere with interpersonal characteristics. • Organisational conditions - structure and leadership practices - must be requisite. • Each person must be encouraged to use his own natural style". The most critical requirement for effective leadership is that the person who executes the leadership should value giving the leadership. Leadership, or talent development should aim at developing the leadership skills defined by the organisation. This development takes time and dedication. In order to ensure that the time and dedication spent on talent development is rewarded, the identification of such talent should be very well executed. Various definitions of talent exist and a number of factors, i.e. skills, knowledge, cognitive ability, potential, value systems and work preferences are considered in defining talent. Previous performance, future potential and individual aspiration should also be considered. Talent is mostly made up of a combination of abilities, individual motivation and opportunities offered. The definition of talent management is also very complex and is indicative of how the organisation sees talent management. Talent is normally managed and developed through talent pools and an alignment between competency models, performance objectives and people characteristics is used to fill talent pools. Effective and disciplined talent reviews should take place regularly to determine the progress made and whether individuals should still be included in the talent pool or not. The influences in the organisational environment calls for the understanding of human capability to manage complexity and knowledge of work levels in order to effectively execute talent pool management. Leadership development programmes should include the challenges and context of leadership, as well as the development of individual characteristics. A company cannot grow leaders unless an accurate development target is identified. The selection of this development target should be effective and only a few programmes could be identified that effectively support the identification of talent. Most companies use the competency approach, which has significant advantages, but also a number of disadvantages. These models are discussed in the research report. Talent management however does not terminate with the mere identification of potential and the intent to develop identified individuals. Leadership development places its own demands on organisations and the number of interventions that are required to effectively develop leadership talent. The efforts and resources awarded to talent development should however enhance organisational performance and the fact that organisations choose to ignore or discard the need for talent management could have detrimental effects on their sustainability.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: "Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being" - Goethe as quoted in Melum (2002). Die wetenskap van leierskap is 'n veld wat gedurig verander soos organisasies en individue verander, groei en ontwikkel. Hoe meer kompleks die aard van die leierskap, hoe moeiliker en meer uitdagend is die identifisering van leierskapspotensiaal en die gevolglike ontwikkeling daarvan. Die internasionale omgewing plaas verdere eise op leierskapsbehoeftes en die ontwikkeling van globale bevoegdhede. Kragtige en gesofistikeerde talentbestuursstrategieë en prestasiebestuurinisiatiewe het uiters belangrik geraak in die kompeterende internasionale omgewing. Lynbestuur moet 'n talentbestuursingesteldheid ontwikkel ten einde talentbestuur effektief in organisasie-strategie te integreer. Talentbestuur moet noodwendig die waardes van die organisasie ondersteun en volg en moet ondersteun word deur die begeerte van individue in die organisasie om die waardes uit te leef. Ten einde talentbestuur effektief uit te voer, moet organisasies hulle leierskapsvereistes en die rolle waarin hulle leierskapsaanspreeklikheid vereis duidelik definieer. Die verskil tussen bestuurders en leiers moet ook duidelik wees met betrekking tot die organisasievereistes en daar moet verseker word dat die basiese vereistes vir leierskap soos geidentifiseer deur Jaques en Clement (1991 : 47) in plek is: • Persoon moet die nodige bevoegdhede hê om die rol op te neem en dit ook dienooreenkomstig waardeer. • 'n Persoon moet nie enige ernstige verswakkende sielkundige eienskappe hê wat indruis teen interpersoonlike eienskappe nie. • Organisatoriese toestande - struktuur en leierskapspraktyke - moet in plek wees. • Elke persoon moet aangemoedig word om sy eie natuurlike styl toe te pas". Die mees kritieke vereiste vir effektiewe leierskap is dat die persoon wat dit uitoefen, 'n waardering daarvoor moet hê. Leierskaps- of talentontwikkeling moet gemik wees op die ontwikkeling van leiereienskappe soos gedefinieer deur die organisasie. Diesulke ontwikkeling neem tyd en toewyding. Ten einde te verseker dat die tyd en toewyding wat aan leierskapsontwikkeling spandeer word die toepaslike opbrengs lewer, moet die identifisering van diesulke talent baie goed uitgevoer word. Verskeie definisies van talent bestaan en 'n aantal faktore soos vaardighede, kennis, kognitiewe vermoëns, potensiaal, waardestelsels en werksvoorkeure moet oorweeg word in die identifisering van talent. Vorige prestasie, toekomstige potensiaal en individuele aspirasies moet ook in ag geneem word. Talent bestaan hoofsaaklik uit 'n kombinasie van vaardighede, individuele motivering en geleenthede. Die definisie van talentbestuur is ook baie kompleks en is 'n aanduiding van hoe talentbestuur deur die organisasie beskou word. Talent word normaalweg bestuur en ontwikkel deur talentmassas en 'n groepering van bekwaamheidsmodelle, prestasiedoelwitte en menslike eienskappe word gebruik om diesulke talentmassas saam te stel. Effektiewe en gedissiplineerde talentoorsigte moet gereeld plaasvind om die vordering te monitor en te bepaal of individue steeds ingesluit moet word in die talent-massa , al dan nie. Die invloede van die organisatoriese omgewing vra ook vir 'n goeie begrip van menslike aanleg om kompleksiteit te hanteer en 'n kennis van die vlakke van werk ten einde effektiewe talentbestuur daar te stel. Leierskapsontwikkelings-programme moet die uitdagings en konteks van leierskap, sowel as die ontwikkeling van individuele eienskappe insluit. 'n Organisasie kan nie leiers ontwikkel alvorens 'n spesifieke ontwikkelingsdoelwit geidentifiseer is nie. Die keuse van hierdie ontwikkelingsdoelwit moet effektief wees en slegs 'n paar programme kon geidentifiseer word wat die identifisering van talent effektief ondersteun. Meeste organisasies gebruik die bevoegdheidsbenadering, wat verskeie voordele, maar ook aansienlike nadele het. Hierdie programme en modelle word in die navorsingsverslag bespreek. Talentbestuur eindig egter nie met die identifikasie van potensiaal en die voorneme om geidentifiseerde individue te ontwikkel nie. Leierskapsontwikkeling plaas sy eie vereistes en druk op organisasies en die aantal intervensies wat vereis word om leierskap effektief te ontwikkel. Die moeite en hulpbronne wat aan talentontwikkeling toegesê word, behoort organisasie-prestasie te verbeter en die feit dat organisasies kies om die nodigheid van talentbestuur te ontken kan 'n nadelige uitwerking op toekomstige volhoubaarheid het.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to examine to what extent the Convention on the Rights of the Child may be regarded as an effective instrument for a state’s aim to abolish child trafficking. An underlying aim is to examine what factors make a convention effective in general. The study is conducted through a doctrinal method with a legal sociological perspective, examining the normative aspects of law. In this sense, Ghana’s implementation of Article 35 of the CRC is evaluated, in order to reach the objective of the study. Thus, the Ghanaian legal system constitutes the base upon which the analysis is made. Hereby, the effectiveness of the CRC is measured by the extent to which the commitments made by Ghana, have led to the adoption of concrete measures to improve the rights of children as it pertains to child trafficking, since the ratification of the CRC. An underlying aim is to discover what factors may affect the effectiveness of a convention, such as inadequate legal framework, its application of it or other cultural factors.  In order to measure the effectiveness of the CRC, a normative model is applied, explaining both the notions of compliance versus effectiveness. Herein, it is clarified that: in order to measure the effectiveness of a convention in this matter, one first needs to examine if the national legal framework complies to the convention in question. Thus, in the first part, it is concluded that Ghana has successfully incorporated the CRC in its legal framework. In the second part, it is shown how, despite of the effective incorporation of the CRC, there remains a gap between what is prescribed by law and the manifestation in practice.                                                     Different factors have been concluded to influence the effectiveness of the Convention. In order for a state to implement measures to deal with an issue, there must be a clear standard set out in the convention in the first place. In this regard, it has been noted that the lack of clarity and ambiguity of the wording in Article 35 of the CRC may have affected the effectiveness of the convention. Moreover, it is noted that the nature of the issue: the phenomenon of child trafficking, in itself, is a complex issue with certain elements that makes it more challenging to regulate than “normal” human rights violations. Not least, it is proven how the socio-cultural norms of Ghana have a noticeable effect on the implementation of the Convention. At last, it is demonstrated how the process of norm-internalization in a state may affect the effectiveness of a Convention: it has been shown how Ghana’s policy-making system has not been effective in practice. Nevertheless, the conclusion remains: the effectiveness of a convention depends on the function it serves in the first place. As for the case of the CRC, it remains an effectivetool to abolish child trafficking as long as the States Parties take united responsibility to make it so.
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka i vilken utsträckning barnkonventionen (CRC) kan utgöra ett effektivt instrument för en stats ändamål att avskaffa barnhandel. Ett bakomliggande syfte med studien är att utreda vilka faktorer som gör en konvention effektiv generellt sett. Studien baseras på en rättsdogmatisk metod i ljuset av ett rättsociologiskt perspektiv där de normativa aspekterna av lagen undersöks. I detta avseende utvärderas Ghanas implementering av artikel 35 i CRC för att uppnå syftet med studien. Således vilar den rättsliga analysen på det ghananska rättssystemet som grund. I sammanhanget granskas barnkonventionens effektivitet med avstamp i hur de åtaganden som gjorts av Ghana har lett till vidtagande av konkreta åtgärder för att förbättra barns situation vad gäller barnhandel. En normativ modell tillämpas för att förstå vad begreppen effektivitetoch efterlevnadinnebär i sammanhanget. Här klargörs att, för att mäta effektiviteten av en konvention, måste det först undersökas huruvida det nationella regelverket uppfyller de reglerade skyldigheterna i den ifrågavarande konventionen. I den första delen dras slutsatsen att Ghana har införlivat barnkonventionen på ett tillfredsställande sätt.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I den andra delen redovisas det hur det kvarstår en diskrepans mellan vad som föreskrivs i lag och hur lagen manifesteras i praktiken, trots det effektiva införlivandet av barnkonventionen. Det påvisas hur olika faktorer påverkar en konventions effektivitet. I detta avseende noteras det att (bristen på) tydlighet och klarhet i ordalydelsen av artikel 35, kan påverka konventionens effektivitet. För att en stat ens ska kunna genomföra åtgärder för att hantera en viss fråga måste det finnas en tydlig standard i konventionen i första hand. Vidare noteras det att problemets natur: fenomenet barnhandel i sig, är en komplex fråga med vissa element som gör det mer utmanande att reglera fenomenet än ”normala” kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter. Inte minst anmärks det hur de sociokulturella normerna i Ghana har en märkbar effekt på tillämpningen av barnkonventionen.                                                                                                       Slutligen redogörs det för hur olika norminternaliserande faktorer i en stat kan påverka effektiviteten av en konvention: det redovisas hur Ghana brister i författandet av effektiva ”policies” för att åtgärda problematiken. Slutsatsen påvisar hur effektiviteten av en konvention beror på den funktion som konventionen har i första hand. Vad gäller barnkonventionen, utgör den ett effektivt verktyg i kampen mot barnhandel, så länge som medlemsstaterna faktiskt tar enat ansvar i att säkerställa dess effektivitet.

Abstract:
L’optimisation topologique (OT) est un outil mathématique permettant d’obtenir une répartition optimale de matière. A partir d’un volume donné, soumis à des chargements, l’OT aboutit à un concept de pièce répondant à un objectif et respectant des contraintes. En règle générale, ce concept, de forme très complexe, est irréalisable par des procédés de fabrication conventionnels. Les procédés d’obtention par fabrication additive (FA), relativement récents, permettent de déposer le matériau là où il est nécessaire et rendent ainsi possible la fabrication de pièces topologiquement optimisées ne pouvant pas être obtenues par des procédés traditionnels. Dans la littérature scientifique, les méthodologies de conception pour la fabrication additive sont souvent appliquées à une seule pièce mécanique et peu d'articles traitent de la conception optimisée d'un système mécanique multicorps. Ce travail de thèse a donc pour thématique générale la conception de systèmes mécaniques multicorps pour la FA. Ceux-ci sont composés de pièces liées entre elles par des liaisons cinématiques et ayant des mouvements relatifs. L’objectif de la thèse est de proposer une méthodologie de conception permettant d’obtenir un produit fabricable par FA et optimisé à l’échelle du système par rapport aux besoins fonctionnels. Dans ce but, et afin de tirer profit de toutes les possibilités de la FA, ce mémoire propose, dans un premier temps, une classification des optimisations réalisables lors de la conception d’un produit. Trois optimisations sont identifiées : l’optimisation architecturale, l’optimisation fonctionnelle puis l’optimisation topologique. La chronologie d’application et une démonstration des apports de chacune de ces optimisations sont établies. Dans un deuxième temps, une méthodologie d’optimisation topologique de systèmes multicorps (TOMS Topological Optimization of a Mechanical System) est développée afin de prendre en compte l’impact de la diminution des masses et inerties de chacune des pièces du système sur les autres. Pour cela, une boucle d’optimisation est proposée pour réaliser des itérations d’OT. Puis, l’impact de l’ordre dans lequel sont optimisées les pièces (appelé un chemin d’optimisation) sur le résultat de conception est étudié. Des principes de choix de chemin d’optimisation ont ainsi pu être établis afin d’obtenir le mécanisme répondant au mieux aux besoins du concepteur. Enfin, les trois optimisations (architecturale, fonctionnelle et TOMS) sont intégrées au processus global de conception d’un produit. Une méthodologie globale de conception, intégrant chaque étape du processus avec toutes les données nécessaires, est ainsi proposée. Cette méthodologie permet de concevoir aussi bien une seule pièce qu’un système mécanique multicorps, de la rédaction du cahier des charges à la conception du brut fabricable par FA
Topological optimization (TO) is a mathematical tool used to obtain an optimal distribution of material density. From a given volume, subjected to loads, the TO leads to a concept of part fulfilling an objective and respecting constraints. The optimized part shapes are often too complex to be manufacturable thanks conventional processes. Additive manufacturing (AM) allows the material to be deposited where it is needed. Consequently, the choice of AM to manufacture topological optimized parts is often wise. In scientific literature, published design methods often remain applied to a single mechanical part, with few articles dealing with the design optimization of a product. The purpose of this PhD is to suggest a design method of an additively manufactured multibody mechanical system. It is composed of parts linked together and have relative motions. For this purpose, and in order to take advantage of all the possibilities of the AM, this manuscript suggests in a first step a classification of the optimizations achievable during the design of a product. Three optimizations are identified: architectural optimization, functional optimization and topological optimization. Both the application timeline and a demonstration of the contributions of each optimization are established. In a second step, a topology optimization methodology of multibody systems (denoted TOMS for Topological Optimization of a Mechanical System) is developed to take into account the interaction of the mass and inertia decrease on each part of the system. An organization chart is introduced. It presents a method of loop optimization in order to take into account new boundary conditions. Then, different paths for managing the impact of inertia are shown. Finally, a path ranking taking into account the objectives of the designer is proposed and some optimization principles are suggested. At last, these three optimizations are one step in the process of designing a product. In order to achieve this step with all the skills and knowledge in AM, a global design methodology is proposed. This methodology helps designers to design a single part as well as a multi-body mechanical system, from the specifications to final product

Abstract:
A cirurgia micrográfica de Mohs (CMM) é realizada em fases sucessivas de retirada tumoral. Cada fase demora de uma a duas horas, dependendo do tamanho da lesão; portanto, é muito importante conseguir predizer o número de fases da cirurgia a fim de poder programar melhor o tempo de uso da sala cirúrgica e da equipe cirúrgica, o uso de anestésicos, os custos da cirurgia, melhor orientar o paciente e assegurar a remoção completa do tumor. Com o intuito de encontrar fatores preditivos do número de fases da CMM no tratamento do carcinoma espinocelular da cabeça, realizou-se o levantamento dos prontuários de 44 pacientes submetidos a 51 CMM no ambulatório de cirurgia dermatológica da Divisão de Dermatologia do HC-FMUSP/SP, de 1994 a 2003. Foram constituídos três grupos quanto ao número de fases da CMM: uma fase, duas fases e três ou mais fases. Os grupos foram comparados em relação às variáveis: duração da lesão até a cirurgia, morfologia, tamanho e limites da lesão, tumor primário ou recidivado, grau de diferenciação histológica do tumor e localização anatômica do tumor. Identificou-se um único fator significante na análise univariada: a distribuição dos tumores recidivados segundo o número de fases da cirurgia e que diferiu da distribuição dos tumores primários (p=0,081, teste exato de Fisher), sendo maior o número de fases para os tumores recidivados. Na análise multivariada, não houve fatores estatisticamente significantes que pudessem estar associados ao número de fases da cirurgia. Na análise da razão de chances, observou-se maior chance de apresentar maior número de fases para as variáveis: limites clínicos imprecisos, tumor ulcerado, tumor recidivado, tumor mais agressivo histologicamente e tumor maior que 1 cm.
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is proceeded in successive stages of cancer removal. Each stage lasts from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the tumor size. So it is very important to predict the number of phases of the surgery so that one can plan better the time of the surgical room use, the time of the surgeon and his team, the use of anaesthetics, the surgical costs, to give the patient better orientations about his surgery and to ensure complete tumor erradication. With the intention to find predictive factors of the number of stages of MMS in the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma, we reviewed the record of 44 patients on a total of 51 surgeries proceeded in the dermatologic surgical clinic of the Dermatological Division of HC-FMUSP/SP from 1994 to 2003. For the number of stages in the MMS we established 3 groups: 1 stage, 2 stages and 3 or more stages. These groups were compared with regard to this variables: continuance of the lesion until the surgery, morphology and size of the lesion, lesion limits, primary or recurrent cancer, histological grade (Broders) and anatomic localization. In the univariated analysis one single factor was significant: the distribution of the recurrent cancers related to the number of stages of the surgery that was different from the distribution of the primary ones (p=0.081, Fisher\'s exact test), been higher the number of stages for the recurrent cancers. In the multivariated analysis, there were no statistically significant factors associated with higher number of stages of the surgery. In the analysis of the odss ratio, we noted a higher chance of a higher number of stages for the variables: inaccurate clinical limits, ulcerated lesions, recurrent cancer, higher aggressive histology and tumor bigger than 1 cm.

Abstract:
La première partie de l’étude est consacrée à l’invocation, intra et extra muros, du droit à un procès équitable. Sont analysés ainsi, dans un premier temps, l’applicabilité directe de l’article 6 et la subsidiarité de la Convention par rapport au droit national et de la Cour Européenne des Droits de l’Homme par rapport aux juridictions nationales. Le droit à un procès équitable étant un droit jurisprudentiel, l’étude se focalise, dans un second temps, sur l’invocabilité des arrêts de la Cour Européenne et plus précisément sur l’invocabilité directe de l’arrêt qui constate une violation du droit à un procès équitable dans une affaire mettant en cause l’Etat et l’invocabilité de l’interprétation conforme à l’arrêt qui interprète l’article 6 dans une affaire mettant en cause un Etat tiers. L’introduction dans l’ordre juridique français et hellénique de la possibilité de réexamen de la décision pénale définitive rendue en violation de la Convention a fait naitre un nouveau droit d’accès à la Cour de cassation lequel trouve son terrain de prédilection aux violations de l’article 6 et constitue peut-être le pas le plus important pour le respect du droit à un procès équitable après l’acceptation (par la France et la Grèce) du droit de recours individuel. Quant au faible fondement de l’autorité de la chose interprétée par la Cour Européenne, qui est d’ailleurs un concept d’origine communautaire, cela explique pourquoi un dialogue indirect entre la Cour Européenne et la Cour de cassation est possible sans pour autant changer en rien l’invocabilité de l’interprétation conforme et le fait que l’existence d’un précédent oblige la Cour de cassation à motiver l’interprétation divergente qu’elle a adoptée.La seconde partie de l’étude, qui est plus volumineuse, est consacrée aux garanties de bonne administration de la justice (article 6§1), à la présomption d’innocence (article 6§2), aux droits qui trouvent leur fondement conventionnel dans l’article 6§1 mais leur fondement logique dans la présomption d’innocence et aux droits de la défense (article 6§3). Sont ainsi analysés le droit à un tribunal indépendant, impartial et établi par la loi, le délai raisonnable, le principe de l’égalité des armes, le droit à une procédure contradictoire, le droit de la défense d’avoir la parole en dernier, la publicité de l’audience et du prononcé des jugements et arrêts, l’obligation de motivation des décisions, la présomption d’innocence, dans sa dimension procédurale et personnelle, le « droit au mensonge », le droit de l’accusé de se taire et de ne pas contribuer à son auto-incrimination, son droit d’être informé de la nature et de la cause de l’accusation et de la requalification envisagée des faits, son droit au temps et aux facilités nécessaires à la préparation de la défense, y compris notamment la confidentialité de ses communications avec son avocat et le droit d’accès au dossier, son droit de comparaître en personne au procès, le droit de la défense avec ou sans l’assistance d’un avocat, le droit de l’accusé d’être représenté en son absence par son avocat, le droit à l’assistance gratuite d’un avocat lorsque la situation économique de l’accusé ne permet pas le recours à l’assistance d’un avocat mais les intérêts de la justice l’exigent, le droit d’interroger ou faire interroger les témoins à charge et d’obtenir la convocation et l’interrogation des témoins à décharge dans les mêmes conditions que les témoins à charge et le droit à l’interprétation et à la traduction des pièces essentielles du dossier. L’analyse est basée sur la jurisprudence strasbourgeoise et centrée sur la position qu’adoptent la Cour de cassation française et l’Aréopage
The first party of the study is dedicated to the invocation of the right to a fair trial intra and extra muros and, on this basis, it focuses on the direct applicability of Article 6 and the subsidiarity of the Convention and of the European Court of Human Rights. Because of the fact that the right to a fair trial is a ‘‘judge-made law’’, the study also focuses on the invocability of the judgments of the European Court and more precisely on the direct invocability of the European Court’s judgment finding that there has been a violation of the Convention and on the request for an interpretation in accordance with the European Court’s decisions. The possibility of reviewing the criminal judgment made in violation of the Convention has generated a new right of access to the Court of cassation which particularly concerns the violations of the right to a fair trial and is probably the most important step for the respect of the right to a fair trial after enabling the right of individual petition. As for the weak conventional basis of the authority of res interpretata (“autorité de la chose interprétée”), this fact explains why an indirect dialogue between the ECHR and the Court of cassation is possible but doesn’t affect the applicant’s right to request an interpretation in accordance with the Court’s decisions and the duty of the Court of cassation to explain why it has decided to depart from the (non-binding) precedent.The second party of the study is bigger than the first one and is dedicated to the guarantees of the proper administration of justice (Article 6§1), the presumption of innocence (Article 6§2), the rights which find their conventional basis on the Article 6§1 but their logical explanation to the presumption of innocence and the rights of defence (Article 6§3). More precisely, the second party of the study is analyzing the right to an independent and impartial tribunal established by law, the right to a hearing within a reasonable time, the principle of equality of arms, the right to adversarial proceedings, the right of the defence to the last word, the right to a public hearing and a public pronouncement of the judgement, the judge’s duty to state the reasons for his decision, the presumption of innocence, in both its procedural and personal dimensions, the accused’s right to lie, his right to remain silent, his right against self-incrimination, his right to be informed of the nature and the cause of the accusation and the potential re-characterisation of the facts, his right to have adequate time and facilities for the preparation of the defence, including in particular the access to the case-file and the free and confidential communication with his lawyer, his right to appear in person at the trial, his right to defend either in person or through legal assistance, his right to be represented by his counsel, his right to free legal aid if he hasn’t sufficient means to pay for legal assistance but the interests of justice so require, his right to examine or have examined witnesses against him and to obtain the attendance and examination of witnesses on his behalf under the same conditions as witnesses against him and his right to the free assistance of an interpreter and to the translation of the key documents. The analysis is based on the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights and focuses on the position taken by the French and the Greek Court of Cassation (Areopagus) on each one of the above mentioned rights

The purpose of this study was to explore a study on the effects of reading the articles of language field by summarizing strategy on reading comprehension and reading attitude-using the third grade students as an example. A quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design was conducted. The experimental group received seven weeks’ Summarizing strategy instruction and the other received traditional instruction program. In order to collect empirical data, "reading comprehension tests " and "children's reading attitude evaluation table" were conducted by the experimental and control groups before and after instruction. Independent t-test, proc t-test and Pearson product-moment correlation methods were used to analyze the data. The main conclusions of the study are as follows: 1."Summarization instruction" enhanced the third graders’ reading comprehension ability. 2."Traditional reading instruction" method was unable to effectively improve the reading comprehension ability of third grade students. 3."Summarization instruction" can enhance the reading attitude of third grade students. 4."Traditional reading instruction" method was unable to effectively improve the reading attitude of third grade students. 5.There is no correlation between reading attitude and reading comprehension capability no matter "Summarization instruction" or "Traditional reading instruction" is adopted, Finally suggestions based on the research results were offered as reference for teachers and future research.

The quick envelopment of internet network changes the original transaction types and methods. The business dealers and consumers can, at any time, at any places, have sales and purchase activities via computers and related devices without the limitation of time and places. However, the continuing advancement of technology makes online transaction include the digital information goods, not limited to the traditional purchase of concrete objects and the offer of sundry service. The purveyance of digital information is by ESD or downloading through internet network and such way is increasingly acceptable to the most consumers. Now the consumers can upload or download computer programs, music, electronic books, game software, etc, to use, listen and read by specific payment process. But the advent of the aforementioned new transaction type arises the disputes of the application of existing laws and regulations, such as the problems of the establishment time and effect of the contract of online transaction; whether online transaction is included in the “mail order purchase”, defined by Consumer Protection Law; the privacy right protection of online transaction; electronic signature; electronic payment. Regarding the problem arising from applying Article 19 of Consumer Protection Law in online transaction of digital information goods, although the scholars have known this problem and provided related opinions, the last amended Consumer Protection Law still does not provide denouements or amend the related Articles to this material problem. Accordingly, this essay is based on electronic commerce transaction environment, the current laws and regulations system, the factors of digital information and the actual deals of online transaction for digital information goods to analyze and study the aforementioned problem. It also references foreign laws and regulations to provide suggestion to explain and apply the Consumer Protection Law. I hope this essay can be helpful to administration and legislation authorities for future amendment of Consumer Protection Law.
