MBA Professional Report
The purpose of this project is to provide a process for accelerated acquisition in support of contingency operations. The objective of the project is to recreate and document the events surrounding the fielding of FBCB2-BFT during Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom, and to produce a document that provides an analysis of actions taken, the obstacles that were overcome and the acquisition policy that applied to the situation in order to rapidly acquire, produce, train and field a useful solution to fulfill an urgent and valid operational need. In 2002, while conducting the Global War on Terror, the US Army determined that combat on an asymmetric battlefield, consisting of a complex operational environment as well as an increased geographic battlespace, required improvements to the current command and control capability available to the force. PM FBCB2 determined their system could fulfill the need by taking the current FBCB2 system and adjusting it to meet the new operational need. Given the constraints regarding time, funding, and technical feasibility PM FBCB2 diligently worked with multiple organizations and agencies in order to provide a useful solution for friendly forces in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. In the 12 months prior to 21 March 2003 (G-Day Iraqi Freedom), the Army undertook an enormous effort to develop, produce, provide system training, and field FBCB2-BFT. The FBCB2-BFT initiative was successful due to the synchronization of four interrelated and supporting components; 1) a technically mature system, 2) user representative acceptance, 3) senior leadership support, and 4) a funding stream.

Abstract:
A teleoperated system of dual redundant manipulator will be controlled in this thesis. The robot used with the dual redundant manipulator in this thesis is Baxter. Baxter’s redundant robot arms are 7-degree-of-freedom arms. The problem that will be solved in this thesis is optimization of the 7-degree-of-freedom robot arms. The control algorithm of the 7-degree-of-freedom robot arms will be discussed and built. A simulation program will be built to test the control algorithm. Based on the control algorithm, a teleoperation system will be created for Baxter. The controller used is Omni, which is a six-joint haptic device. Omni will also be used to give force feedback upon collision while the user is controlling the robot. Hence, a collision force feedback system is going to be created and combined with the teleoperation system. The teleoperation system will be tested in common daily applications.

Abstract:
The present research is carried out from the viewpoint of primarily space applications where human lives may be in danger if they are to work under these conditions. This work proposes to develop a one-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) force-reflecting manual controller (FRMC) prototype for teleoperation, and address the effects of time delays commonly found in space applications where the control is accomplished via the earth-based control stations. To test the FRMC, a mobile robot (PPRK) and a slider-bar were developed and integrated to the 1-DOF FRMC. The software developed in Visual Basic is able to telecontrol any platform that uses an SV203 controller through the internet and it allows the remote system to send feedback information which may be in the form of visual or force signals. Time delay experiments were conducted on the platform and the effects of time delay on the FRMC system operation have been studied and delineated.

Abstract:
The semi-empirical method of force-limited vibration testing is used in the aerospace industry to avoid over-testing. The semi-empirical method specifies the maximum interface force based on a single parameter, often referred to as C2, which is based on previous experience with similar structures. This thesis investigates the factors influencing the value of C2 associated with semi-empirical force limited vibration testing. First, a base excited two degrees-of-freedom system is examined in context of the semiempirical method. Then, the effect of different types of damping is investigated. The work is then extended to multiple degrees-of-freedom and continuous systems where a new method, based on the apparent mass, of determining the value of C2 is presented. Finally, experimental testing is utilized to validate the conclusion and the predictions of the new method.

This thesis presents the design and fabrication of a 2-DOF robotic leg using linear Lorentz-force actuators arranged in a parallel configuration. The decision to use linear actuators, a parallel architecture, and Lorentz-force motors was made because of distinct differences between these designs and the alternatives, notably, their lower weight, better resolution, and high bandwidth. We have shown that a robot of this construction can jump at least three times as high as the stroke length of its actuators, recording a maximum jump height of 48 mm using a stroke of 15 mm. This finding supports the feasibility of a larger robot based on this design.

Abstract:
Uppsatsen syftar till att bidra mot ökad förståelse för användandet av Air Power i olika miljöer.Uppsatsen strävar efter att belysa på vilket sätt man har nyttjat högteknologisk Air Power för atterhålla optimalt operativt övertag samt att undersöka vilka risker det eventuellt har inneburit.Detta uppnås genom att studera tre konflikter under 1990-talet och se hur man har använt sig avAir Power och titta på vilken effekt detta har haft. Det primära syftet är alltså att undersöka omhögteknologi är fördelaktigt att använda i olika nivåer av konflikter, eller om avsevärda nackdelarvisar sig.Uppsatsen syfte har också varit att identifiera hur de insatser som genomförts med dominerandeAir Power har påverkat och påverkas av teknologiska utvecklingsskillnader mellan länder.Då all krigskonst handlar om hur man nyttjar sina förutsättningar på bästa sätt blir det logiskasteget att en mindre teknologiskt utvecklad fiende kan göra högteknologisk krigföring ineffektiv.Följande hypotes prövas under arbetet: Högteknologisk Air Power är effektivt även vidasymmetrisk krigföring och vid lågintensiva konflikter.Resultatet ur studien visar att det finns både positiva och negativa effekter. De mest framträdandefördelarna är att teknologin medger flexibelt nyttjande och korta omloppstider, underlättarsamarbete och innebär vidare att ett högt tempo kan hållas genom operationen.Och nackdelarna är att det visar sig vara relativt enkelt att försvara sig under lång tid med småenkla resurser, detta kan visa sig svårhanterat för den politiska nivån. Resultatvärderingen avinsatta medel sker änsålänge alldeles för långsamt.En högteknologisk angripare gör fienden rörligare vilket i längden innebär svårigheter för denegna beslutshanteringen.
During the last wars in Iraq, Balkans and the war in Afghanistan, the High-Tech differences between the opponents have been evident. What does thelesson learned tell us from this period?The purpose of this essay is to lay the foundations for deeper knowledge aboutthe operational advantages that the high-tech coalitions and nations has inreality. Especially when opposing a low-tech nation or enemy. Focus in thisessay is on Air Power looking at it from a Five-Ring-Model theory and theeffect reached from this angel. This is done through an analysis of the periodfrom 1991 to 2001 and different levels of conflicts. In the followingdiscussion and synthesis, I compare the facts and lessons-learned from thesethree wars mentioned above and then I draw some conclusions compared tothe theoretical model. The discussion will answer the two questions asked andvalidate or falsify the stipulated hypothesis.What does high-tech Air Power mean in the light of lesser-advanced nations?In what way is Air Powers effect affected by the use of high-tech systems?Is High Tech Air Power effective even against an asymmetrical enemy or inlow intensity conflicts?Keywords: Air Power, manoeuvre theory, future war, operative advantage,international operations, doctrines, high tech, Allied Force, Deliberate Force,Enduring Freedom, asymmetry, PGM, effect based operations, precisionattack.

M.Ed. mini-tesis, Departement Filosofie van die Opvoeding, Universiteit van wes-Kaapland. Hierdie mini-tesis ondersoek die gebruik van geweld deur die Suid-Afrikaanse regering as regverdiging om'n ~ "demokratiese" staat instand te hou asook die gebruik van geweld deur magte wat "n "meer" demokratiese staat daar wil stel. In Hoofstuk 1 word daar geargumenteer dat die gebruik van geweld 'n morele kwessie is en word daar onder meer verwys na die verskillende soorte geweld wat aangetref word. Veral word daar gekyk of alle burgers " onder die verpligting is om die staat te gehoorsaam en of hierdie gehoorsaamheid onreflektiewe gehoorsaamheid is. In Hoofstuk 2 word gekyk of dwang ooit geregverdig is deur te kyk na die verband tussen Positiewe en Negatiewe Vryheid en dwang. In Hooofstuk 3 word daar kortliks gekyk na waarom die demokrasie die mees aanvaarbare vorm van regering vir die mens as rasionele wese is. Daarna (Hoofstuk 4) word ondersoek ingestel na eerstens die verband tussen moraliteit en demokrasie en tweedens na die verband tussen demokrasie en geweld deur te verwys na die klassieke en die kontempor~re teorie~ van demokrasie. In Hoofstuk 5 word daar veral gekyk na watter ruimte, indienenige, daar vir wettige teenstemming "dissent" in 'n demokrasie bestaan asook hoe daar binne 'n demokrasie teenstemming gebied kan word en watter beperkinge daar op vryheid van spraak en assosiasie as wettige teenkanting is. Daar word dan ook kortliks gekyk na hoe geweld indruis teen demokratiese prosedure en of daar ook ander faktore is wat die demokratiese proses beinvloed. In Hoofstuk 6 kyk ek na hoe die polemici voordeel probeer trek deur die konsep "geweld" op 'n bepaalde manier te hanteer deur daarop te wys dat "geweldloos" nie die teenoorgestelde van "gewelddadig" is nie. Verskeie vorme van geweldlose verset of pasifisme word kortliks ondersoek en word uitgewys dat ook daar 'n vorm van dwang teenwoordig is. Die verband tussen demokrasie en geweldlose verset word dan ondersoek. In Hoofstuk 7 word gekyk na geweld in die Suid-Afrikaanse skolestelsel deur te wys op hoe die studente en die staat onderskeidelik die konsepte geweld en demokrasie hanteer en toepas. Daar word kortliks uitgewys dat vrede nie sinoniem met egverdigheid is nie. Veral word gekyk na die polisie en weermag en morele regverdiging van geweld. In Hoofstuk 8 word gekyk na wat bedoel word met 'n demokratiese onderwysstelsel deur veral te kyk na 'n model van deelnemende demokrasie en hoe studente-praktyke moontlik aanleiding tot geweld kan gee. In Hoofstik 9 word 'n kort samevatting van die argument gegee.

Abstract:
The main focus of this thesis is to show the nature of the relationship between the South African Defence Force and the local media from 1975-83. The thesis will analyse issues specifically relating to the nature of the relationship and show how and why they are relevant to understanding the authoritarianism of the apartheid state. The nature of the relationship will be conceptualised by way of the analogy of a marriage. The thesis will show that for the SADF the relationship was “a marriage of convenience” whereas for the media it was a “marriage of necessity”. This relationship operated within the context of a highly militarised society that has been termed a “Garrison State”. The apartheid government introduced legislation governing reporting of defence matters and the media (namely the South African Defence Act 1957 including amendments made up until 1980) that imposed legal constraints within which defence correspondents had to operate. Moreover, the MID’s secret monitoring of the local media reveals the extent to which the military distrusted the media. A sampling of the coverage of defence matters in a selection of newspapers will reveal how their editorial staffs and reporters operated in a situation where the flow of information was controlled by the military. This will also show that certain defence correspondents cultivated close relations with SADF personnel to ensure that they were kept informed. The thesis will also show how the SADF reacted to the international media exposure of Operation Savannah and Operation Reindeer and how the SADF sought to limit the damage to its reputation by clamping down on the local media. The creation of two media commissions both headed by Justice MT Steyn, set out to investigate the manner in which local media reported on security issues in an environment in which the media and the public were confronted by the “Total Strategy” discourse of the apartheid government. The working relationship between the SADF and the media encapsulated in the thesis can be described as highly complex and the use of the “marriage” analogy assists in understanding this relationship.

Hirano, Kazuhiko. "La liberté et la puissance de l’intuition chez Bergson : À travers le temps qui « agit » et la force de négation." Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012TOU20048/document.

Full text
Abstract:
Les réflexions au point de départ de Bergson nous donnent une forte impression. Maintenant, nous pouvons dire qu’il y a là la puissance intuitive de négation et le temps qui « agit ». Et quand nous promenons nos yeux sur les œuvres de Bergson, il nous semble qu’on ne peut pas les négliger. En premier lieu, Bergson aboutit déjà à une méthode de la connaissance autre que l’intelligence. Comme l’intuition est une méthode de la connaissance propre à Bergson, l’intuition qui porte la puissance de négation est une découverte qui fait époque. En deuxième lieu, cette intuition incite elle-même à se rendre vers l’intuition immédiate. Elle soutient l’intuition de la durée. En troisième lieu, le temps qui « agit » est une appréhension originelle de l’expérience. Un des fondements et un des contenus de la liberté proviennent de ce temps qui « agit » et de cette intuition. En quatrième lieu, Bergson souligne que l’illusion du « possible » fait méconnaître « la nouveauté radicale ». Et cette appréhension montre que l’acte libre et l’univers sont la création du nouveau. L’idée d’illusion du « possible » qui s’établit dans les dernières années de sa vie provient des réflexions au point de départ. Enfin, obtenir une appréhension originale par la puissance intuitive de négation, semble être une façon d’étudier chez Bergson. Il recueille les faits scientifiques ou académiques qui font l’objet de son étude. Et il trouve un problème par la puissance intuitive de négation. Il semble que nous pouvions imaginer que ce qui est profond chez Bergson revient à ces deux points. Dès lors, nous pensons que les réflexions au point de départ sont dignes d’être pris comme objet de réflexion
We can say that the action of time and the intuitive power of negation are important aspects in Bergson’s reflections on his point of departure. And when we survey his works, it seems to us that they cannot be neglected. First, Bergson arrives already at a method of acquiring knowledge which differs from the intelligence. As intuition is a method of the knowlege proper to Bergson, intuition that has the power of negation is an important discovery. Second, this intuition urges itself to proceed to an intuition of the duration. And the former supports the latter. Third, his notion of the action of time is an original understanding of its experience. One of the foundations of the freedom and one of the contents of the freedom are derived from the action of time and this previously mentioned intuition. Fourth, Bergson emphasizes that the illusion of the « possible » leads us to misunderstand « the radical novelty ». And this understanding shows that the free act and the universe are both creations of novelty. The notion of the illusion of the « possible » that is established in his later years has its origin in his reflections on his point of de departure. Finally, it seems that to obtain an original understanding through the intuitive power of the negation is a Bergson’s way of studying his subject. He gathers scientific or academic facts. He identifies problems through the use of the intuitive power of the negation. In short, it seems that we can imagine that what is profound in Bergson’s thought comes from the action of time and the intuitive power of negation. So we think that the reflections on the point of departure is worthy of in-depth consideration

Abstract:
The US-led war to oust the regime of Saddam Hussein elicited a wide range of responses among liberal states, from active diplomatic opposition in the prelude to war to actual combat support once hostilities commenced. These divergent responses, in part, reflected different perceptions of the legitimacy of force and international law. Furthermore, I contend that these perceptions are rooted in the unique regional security environment in which each state is situated, with states located in relatively insecure regional environments being more favorably disposed to view US military preponderance and use of force as a legitimate public good. Consequently, I hypothesize that the more insecure a stateâ s regional security environment, the more likely it was to support, either diplomatically or militarily, the â major combatâ phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom. To this end, I develop a measure of regional security based on concepts of power and polarity adapted from John Mearsheimerâ s The Tragedy of Great Power Politics. I then test this measure using a logistic regression analysis for 85 states located in 10 regions. The results indicate support for the hypothesis, but also illuminate the need for more research on the implications of power distributions within regional settings for international conflict in the post-Cold War era.

Maliti, Dyfrig Joseph. "Autorité et pouvoir : approches historique, analytique et critique d'un problème de philosophie politique." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012STRAK016.

Full text
Abstract:
L’autorité étant une forme de « pouvoir » fondée sur la soumission à la hiérarchie, à l’inégalité et aux ordres sociaux préétablis, a été rejetée par les Modernes parce qu’elle est incompatible avec le principe même de la démocratie. Paradoxalement, suite à l’affaiblissement de l’autorité dans le monde moderne, on souhaite aujourd’hui son « retour ». De ce fait, notre réflexion s’est donnée pour tâche d’étudier, dans le domaine de la philosophie politique, les relations complexes qui existent entre les concepts d’autorité et de pouvoir en répondant aux questions : Qu’est-ce que l’autorité et le pouvoir ? Comment se constituent-ils ? Quels sont leurs modes d’institutionnalisation dans les structures politiques et juridiques qui perpétuent la domination et reproduisent l’obéissance ? Ainsi formulées, ces questions nous mettent non seulement au cœur de l’hypothèse que ce travail essaie de soutenir, mais elles touchent aussi la problématique que notre réflexion tente de résoudre. Elle concerne les confusions fréquentes faites par nos contemporains entre, d’une part, les concepts d’autorité et de pouvoir, et, d’autre part, les concepts de pouvoir, de violence, de force, d’autorité et de domination souvent utilisés comme s’il s’agissait simplement de synonymes. Face à une telle confusion, nous avons présumé avec H. Arendt que, puisque « ces mots se réfèrent à des qualités différentes, leur sens devrait donc être soigneusement examiné et déterminé ». Puisque l’usage correct de ces concepts « n’est pas seulement une question de grammaire, mais aussi de perspective historique », un détour par l’acquis antique des notions auctoritas et potestas nous est nécessaire. Ceci nous permet non seulement d’apprécier la valeur d’un héritage que nous n’assumons pas pleinement aujourd’hui, mais également de mieux comprendre certaines notions clés de la philosophie politique et de pouvoir dissiper la confusion fréquente entre les concepts d’« autorité » et de « pouvoir ». Pouvoir, autorité, souveraineté, légitimité, légalité, liberté, démocratie, domination, puissance, force et violence. Tels sont les termes articulés dans ce travail
The modern philosophers rejected authority because it was judged to be incompatible with democratic values. Paradoxically, following the weakening of authority in the modern societies, we observe a growing number of people demanding for its "return". Following this situation, we decided to undertake, in the field of political philosophy, a study of the complex relationships that involve the concepts of authority and power, namely: What is authority and power ? How are they constituted ? What are the conditions or forces that create direct and use them? What are their modes of institutionalization in the political and legal structures that perpetuate domination and reproduce obedience ? Formulated in that way, these questions touch not only the assumption that this work tries to support, but also the problematic which our study seeks to provide an answer. It concerns the frequent confusion made by our contemporaries between, on one hand, the concepts of authority and power, and on the other, those of violence, force, domination and sovereignty often used as if they are mere synonyms. With H. Arendt we assume that since these notions "refer to different realities, the meaning of each one of them should be carefully examined and determined." We think that the correct use of these notions is "not just a matter of grammar, but also of a historical perspective," a return to the original meaning of auctoritas and potestas is necessary. This returning help us firstly, to measure the gap between what ought to be the notions of authority and power in the ancient world and what they have become today; secondly, to appreciate the inherited value that we probably do not fully make use of it today; and thirdly, the study helps us to have a better understanding of major concepts of political philosophy; and, in so doing, to be able to dispel the confusion often made between authority, power and other related concepts such as force, violence, domination and sovereignty

Abstract:
De nos jours, les systèmes intègrent de plus en plus de fonctionnalités dans des volumes de plus en plus petits grâce aux microcomposants intégrés. L'assemblage de ces microcomposants nécessite des systèmes de manipulation précis et reproductibles. Un nombre considérable de recherches ont été menées afin de mettre au point des actionneurs et des microrobots capables d'effectuer des tâches de positionnement ou de manipulation avec des précisions microniques voire submicroniques. Les technologies piézoélectriques jouent un rôle fondamental dans les applications de positionnement à résolution nanométrique ou même inférieure. Ces matériaux permettent la conception et le développement de systèmes de positionnement avec résolution et bande passante élevées. Cependant, des effets non linéaires tels que l'hystérésis et la dérive lente affectent la précision de la position des systèmes à base piézoélectrique s'ils ne sont pas contrôlés. Souvent, des capteurs de position sont montés sur ces systèmes pour permettre un contrôle en boucle fermée et l'élimination des effets d'hystérésis et de dérive lente. Néanmoins, l'intégration de capteurs permettant un asservissement robuste et de qualité pose des problèmes spécifiques aux microrobots. Cela est particulièrement vrai lorsque le nombre de degrés de liberté augmente. En effet, les capteurs de position qui jouissent d'une bonne résolution et précision sont généralement très volumineux et coûteux. Les solutions alternatives à l’intégration de capteurs de position externes peuvent être regroupées en deux catégories: soit par contrôle en boucle ouverte, également appelé schémas de contrôle prédictifs, soit par des techniques basées sur le contrôle par auto-détection (Self-Sensing Actuation - SSA), c’est-à-dire un contrôle en boucle fermée utilisant l'actionneur piézoélectrique comme son propre capteur.Dans cette thèse, l'objectif est de concevoir et de contrôler un système de positionnement basé sur la technologie piézoélectrique avec une méthode de mesure intégrée par SSA et ayant plusieurs degrés de liberté. À cette fin, les deux classes de SSA, à savoir le SSA basé sur l’effet direct piézoélectrique et le SSA basé sur la modification des propriétés électriques de l'actionneur piézoélectrique (PEA), sont étudiées en profondeur afin de déterminer celle qui convient le mieux au contrôle de la force et de la position dans les actionneurs piézoélectriques caractérisés par le fluage et non-linéarités d'hystérésis et consacrés à des opérations précises. De plus, cette étude présente un modèle constitutif et une technique d’identification de paramètres améliorés, qui prend en compte l’effet de couplage électromécanique et les non linéarités sur les propriétés du matériau piézoélectrique (constantes élastiques et diélectriques).Une nouvelle technique d'évaluation en temps réel des propriétés électriques du PEA est développée. Cette évaluation est basée sur la mesure de l’amplitude du courant de détection résultant de l’application d’une tension d’entrée haute fréquence de faible amplitude superposée à la tension d’entrée de commande qui actionne le PEA. Ensuite, un estimateur qui utilise le courant de détection pour estimer la position du PEA est conçu. Enfin, une plate-forme microrobotique pour le positionnement planaire à haute résolution avec la mesure intégrée par SSA développée est présentée
Currently, systems integrate more and more functionalities into smaller volumes thanks to embedded micro-components. The assembly of those components requires precise and repeatable systems of manipulation. Substantial amounts of research have been carried out for developing actuators and microrobots to perform positioning or manipulation with micron- or even submicron accuracies. Piezoelectric technologies play a fundamental role in positioning applications with nanoscale or even lower resolution. These materials make possible the design and development of positioning systems with high resolution and bandwidth. However, nonlinear effects such as hysteresis and creep affect the position accuracy of piezoelectric-based systems if not controlled. Often, position sensors are mounted to these systems to permit a feedback control and the elimination of the hysteresis and creep effects. Nonetheless, the integration of sensors to enable quality and robust servo control poses specific problems for microrobots. This is especially true when the number of degrees of freedom (DOF) increases. Precision position sensors are usually very bulky and expensive. Alternative solutions to the integration of external position sensors can be grouped into two categories: either by open-loop control, also called feedforward control schemes or by Self-Sensing Actuation (SSA) control-based techniques, that is, a feedback control that uses the piezoelectric actuator as its own sensor.In this thesis, the objective is to design and control a piezoelectric-based positioning system with an embedded measurement by SSA method and having several degrees of freedom. To this end, the two classes of SSA, namely SSA based on the piezoelectric direct effect and the SSA based on the change of electrical properties of the piezoelectric actuator (PEAs), are studied in depth to determine the more adequate for force and position control in piezoelectric actuators typified by creep and hysteresis nonlinearities and devoted to precise operations. Additionally, from this study, an improved constitutive model and parameter identification technique are presented which includes the electromechanical coupling effect on the piezoelectric material properties (elastic and dielectric constants).A novel technique for real-time evaluation of the PEA's electrical properties is developed. This evaluation is based on the measurement of the amplitude of the detection current that results from the application of high-frequency low amplitude input voltage that is superimposed to the control input voltage which actuates the PEA. Then an estimator that uses the detection current to estimate the PEA's position is designed. Finally, a microrobotics platform for planar positioning with high resolution and the developed embedded measurement by SSA is presented

Resumo: Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar alguns conceitos chave da filosofia prática de Kant, especialmente respeito e autonomia, bem como o caminho percorrido pelo filósofo para formulação de uma possibilidade para a liberdade prática. Esse percurso será investigado principalmente junto de duas obras, a saber, Fundamentação da metafísica dos costumes e Crítica da razão prática. Nelas Kant apresenta o respeito como um sentimento que é produzido pela consciência da lei moral, a única lei capaz de mostrar a liberdade como autonomia da vontade. Ao lado do respeito Kant apresenta um outro sentimento prático, a saber, a humilhação. Defenderei a tese de que ambos os conceitos, respeito e humilhação funcionam como duas forças do ânimo que são exercidas pela vontade diante da lei. A análise dos mesmos dar-se-á como sendo duas forças do ânimo descobertas por Kant em analogia com o conceito de força física da mecânica newtoniana, e em conformidade com o próprio conceito kantiano de analogia

Abstract:
Ce travail essaie de redécouvrir la pensée schopenhauerienne à travers les deux perspectives qu'elle présente : celle se centrant sur la Nature, l'autre sur l'éthique. Des forces cachées derrière les phénomènes naturels à l'intention cachée derrière les actions humaines, nous trouvons l'enjeu majeur de cette pensée comme la problématisation de la réalité par une réflexion sur la chose en soi kantienne. Ainsi, il faut d’abord reconsidérer les questions comme celles de la force, des Idées, de la vie, de la finalité, de l’instinct et de l'animal, pour rendre possible le passage vers une interrogation éthique encadrée par les questions de la liberté et du mal
This work tries to rediscover the Schopenhauerian thought through the two perspectives that it presents: one focusing on Nature, the other on ethics. From the forces hidden behind natural phenomena to the hidden intention behind human actions, we find the major challenge of this thought as the problematization of reality by a reflection on the Kantian thing in itself. Thus, we must first reconsider issues such as strength, ideas, life, purpose, instinct and animal, to make possible the passage to an ethical interrogation framed by the questions of freedom and evil

Abstract:
Anglo-Free State relations between the wars still awaits a comprehensive study ... This is in par a reflection of the larger failure of British historians to work on Anglo-Irish history '" the Right has been ill at ease dealing with Britan's greatest failure, whilst the Left has found tropical climes more suited for the cultivation of its moral superiority. When R.F.Holland made this apposite comment, just over a decade ago, he may have been adding to the very problems he identified. Writing within the context of the 'Commonweath Alliance', he was joining a distinguished list of British and Irish historians who have sought to fiter inter-war Anglo-Free State relations through the mesh of Empire-Commonweath development. Beginning with A. Berredale Keith in the 1920s, this usage continued in either direct or indirect form (by way of particular institutions of Commonweath) from the 1930s to the 1970s through the works of W.K. Hancock, Nicholas Mansergh and D.W. Harkness, and was still finding favour with Brendan Sexton's study of the Irish Governor-Generalship system in the late 1980s.2 But herein a contradiction has developed: cumulative study of the unnatural origins and performance of the Free State as a Dominion has moved beyond questions of function to ask whether the Free State was in fact ever a Dominion at alL. 3 As such, there seems ever more need to step back from inter-Commonwealth study and refocus on the precise nature of the Free State's central relationship with Britan in this period. It is of course acknowledged that outwith the established zones of internal Irish and Empire-Imperial study there is no home or forum for one of the most enduring quandares of modern Europea history. Even if it is accepted that 'pure' Anglo-Irish history did not end in 1922, the weight of research based on the ten yeas prior, as against the ten yeas subsequent, suggests an easy acceptance, on both sides of the Irish Sea, and Atlantic, of the absolute value changes in that relationship. Studies covering the transition to independence, such as those of Joseph M. CUITan and Sheila Lawlot, have taen only tentative steps beyond 1922, and may indeed have epitomised an approach that subsequent Irish studies have done little to dispel; in the 1980s, major overviews by RF. Foster and J.J. Le have been notably reluctant to evaluate the quality of that new found freedom with continuing reference to Ireland's giant neighbour. Though Foster, and others, have noted that the main aim of the Free State in the 1920s was 'self-definition against Britan', the point is the extent to which Britan was wiling to allow the same. There has then been little impetus for direct Anglo-Free State inter-war study, and although the tide has begun to turn since the mid-1980's, notably through the achievements of Paul Canning, Deidre McMahon and, shortly before his death, Nicholas Mansergh6, it is probable that we are stil a long way short of being able to produce a comprehensive and coherent review of the period. Apar from the crucial Anglo/Irish-Anglo/Commonwealth dichotomy,there remains the political chasm dividing the Cosgrave years of the 1920s from those of de Valera's 1930s; indeed the overwhelming preoccupation with post-1931 confrontations has often, as in the case of McMahon's fine study, taen as its contrasting staing point the supposedly compliant 'pro-Treaty' years of 1922-31. It is hard to bridge this gulf when the little direct work on these earlier years, mostly concentrating on the two fundamenta issues of Boundar and financial settlement, has tended not to question this divide. Although Irish historians have turned an increasingly sympathetic eye on the internal politics and problems of these early yeas, the apathetic external image, in contrast to the later period, has been persistent. Nowhere has this negativity been more apparent than on the, also vita, topic of defence relations. For a subject that has been given more than adequate attention in terms of the 1921 Treaty negotiations and the Treaty Ports issue of the 1930s, the period in between has had little intensive coverage. In this regard the negative response of W.K.Hancock in 1937, stating that Cosgrave did not bother to question British defence imperatives, was stil being held some fifty yeas later by Paul Canning.7 Thus an enduring and importt image has emerged of defence relations re-enforcing the above divide, an image that has had to stand for the lack of new reseach. This does not mea that the image is necessarly an entirely false one, but it does mean that many of the supposed novelties of the de Valera yeas have been built on largely unknown foundations. The Treaty Ports issue is also vita to this thesis, but then so are other defence related matters which had an impact specific to the 1920s. In other words, the human and political context of how both countries, but the Irish government in paricular, coped with the immediate legacy of centuries of armed occupation, with the recent 1916-21 conflct, and with the smaller scale continuity of British occupation, was bound to cast old shadows over a new relationship. But how big were these shadows? It was on the basis of placing some detaled flesh on the skeleton of known (and unknown) policies and events that this thesis took shape. Frustrations and resentments could tae necessarily quieter forms than those which characterised the 1930s, and in the end be no less significant. If the first objective is then to make solid the continuity of defence affairs, it is appropriate to begin with a brief evaluation of the Treaty defence negotiations before tang a close look at British operations in the South in 1922 - the year when a reluctant Cosgrave was to inherit a situation where British forces were close to the development of civil war. Despite our growing knowledge of Britan's part in the progress of that war, there is stil a general perception that its forces became peripheral to events after the Truce of July 1921, and that its Army was, and had been, the only British Service involved in the struggle against armed republicanism.This is simply not the case, and it is to be wondered whether the proper absorption of Irish historians with the internal dynamics of the period, together with the authoritative quality of Charles Townshend's history of the 1919-21 British campaign, have not produced inhibitions to wider inquiry. 8 In any event, as the Admiralty was to play a central par in later defence relations it seems right to introduce, for the first time, the Royal Navy's importt role in the events of 1922. The point here is to establish that the actions and perceptions of both Services were to have repercussions for later attitudes. After these chapters, the following two aim to look at the cumulative legacy of British involvement and how both countries adjusted to the many unresolved questions thrown up by the Treaty and the unplanned contingencies of 1922. Retaining the theme that neither country could escape the past, nor trust to the future, chapter six returns to the physical and political impact made by the continuing presence of British forces in and around the three Treaty Ports, and along and across the Border. The final two chapters explore how all these factors helped determine the conditions for, and consequences of, one of the most damaging episodes of the later 1920s - the complete failure of the joint coasta defence review scheduled for December 1926.In all, the cumulative emphasis on the politics of defence may ilustrate what it was to be a small aspiring country that had little choice but to accept Britan's version of what was an inevitably close relationship, and to endure what Britan claimed as the benign strategic necessity of continued occupation.

Abstract:
This report looks at two forms of Mathieu's equation, each subjected to an external sinusoidal excitation, and has been appropriately divided into two sections. The first section analyses a nonhomogeneous linear equation considered initially without, and then with damping, The second section investigates a nonlinear nonhomogeneous equation, with damping, and is supplemented by laboratory investigations and analogue computing. The principal mathematical method used throughout has been the perturbation method of multiple scales, with the method of variation of parameters incorporated to investigate the linear case. Some of the results, from both cases, are presented in the form of time trace diagrams and these compared well with results obtained from numerical integration of the original equation using the Runge - Kutta algorithm. All the remaining results are presented in the form of 3D diagrams in an effort to give more information about the frequency content of the response. Experimental results for parametric and forced excitation of a light cantilever with an end mass agreed qualitatively with theoretical predictions and analogue computer results agreed well. Again the results were presented in a similar format to those of the previous sections, using 3D diagrams. The main findings for the linear problem were that the response was dominated by the frequencies ? and ?p - ? , where ? is the forcing frequency and ? is the parametric excitation frequency. Close to the stability boundary the interaction between the forced and parametric responses resulted in a response much larger than that due to either effect on its own. When the nonlinearities considered here were added it was found that, with no external forcing the response in the unstable region was dominated as expected by a component at ? p/2, but as the amplitude of the external forcing was increased this component was suppressed and replaced by dominant components at frequencies ? and ?P- ? In addition there were normally sidebands present, sometimes of relatively quite considerable amplitude and even the appearance, for a limited window, of what might have been chaotic motion, with a continuous range of spectral components. These digital computer findings were confirmed by analogue computer and laboratory observations.

Abstract:
Um corpo imerso em movimento arbitrário interage com o fluido ao redor. As partículas fluidas próximas ao corpo exercem certa resistência inercial quando o corpo acelera ou desacelera, devido ao acoplamento dinâmico entre corpo e fluido. Este trabalho resolve as equações de Navier-Stokes, discretizadas pelo método dos elementos finitos, usando o programa de código aberto (LGPL) FreeFem++, e avalia as forças do escoamento que agem sobre um cilindro circular, o qual oscila harmonicamente em um fluido em repouso para números de Keulegan-Carpenter (KC) entre 0,5 e 10, mantendo o parâmetro da frequência constante e igual a 35. Os números de KC selecionados visam entender os conceitos de inércia adicional em fluido viscoso, desde em escoamentos simples até em escoamento mais complexos. O escoamento é bidimensional, laminar e não estacionário. A força em linha com o movimento é então decomposta, conforme equação de Morison, como a soma de uma força inercial e outra de arrasto. Os resultados possuem boa aderência com trabalhos analíticos, experimentais e numéricos anteriores disponíveis na literatura. A dinâmica do escoamento induzido pelo cilindro em movimento harmônico é rica. Para baixo KC, o escoamento é simétrico e estável. Para valores intermediários de KC, a camada limite descola da superfície do cilindro e vórtices são emitidos a cada meio-ciclo. Para elevado KC, certa assimetria se desenvolve e vórtices são emitidos obliquamente a cada meio-ciclo.
An immersed body in arbitrary motion interacts with the surrounding fluid. The fluid particles close to the body impart their inertial resistance when the body accelerates or decelerates, due to the dynamic coupling between body and fluid. This work solves the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation, discretized by the finite element method, using the open source (LGPL) software FreeFem++, and evaluates the flow forces that act on a circular cylinder which oscillates harmonically in a resting fluid for Keulegan- Carpenter (KC) number between 0.5 and 10, with a constant frequency parameter equal to 35. The selected KC numbers aims to understand the concepts of added inertia in viscous fluid, from simpler to more complex flows. The flow is two dimensional, laminar and unsteady. The in-line force is then decomposed, according to Morison equation, as a sum of an inertial force and a drag force. The results agree with former analytical, experimental and numerical works available in the literature. The dynamics of the flow induced by the harmonically moving cylinder is rich. For low KC, the flow is symmetric and stable. For intermediate KC, the boundary layer detaches from the cylinder surface and vortices are shed at each half cycle. For higher KC, certain asymmetry develops and vortices are shed obliquely at each half cycle.

Abstract:
Le principe de spécialité de l’hypothèque s’est imposé dans le Code civil en 1804 en vue d’assurer le développement de l’économie moderne, puis il s’est répandu sur l’ensemble des sûretés réelles pour devenir un principe fondamental du droit des sûretés. Pourtant, à la fin du vingtième siècle, le principe a essuyé de violentes critiques : il rigidifiait le droit des sûretés réelles et était un frein au développement du crédit. Outre la nocivité du principe, sa remise en cause théorique annonçait son déclin en droit français d’autant qu’à l’étranger le security interest de droit américain, qui ne le connaît pas, ne cessait de faire des émules. Pourtant, lors de la réforme, le législateur l’a conservé tout en l’assouplissant. L’assouplissement du principe est la marque d’une réforme éclairée qui est intuitivement revenue aux origines du principe pour lui conférer la flexibilité dont le législateur originel voulait le pourvoir, mais qui a toujours été étouffée par une conception théorique inadaptée que la doctrine contemporaine doit, aujourd’hui, renouveler. Seul un retour aux sources originelles du principe de spécialité de l’hypothèque, « mère » des sûretés réelles, permet de faire surgir, à nouveau, sa réalité pratique pour poser les premiers fondements d’une conception théorique ajustée qui pousse à remettre en cause le rattachement du droit des sûretés aux droits patrimoniaux. Le principe de spécialité n’est pas un stigmate de l’archaïsme du droit des sûretés réelles français ; il est, au contraire, le ferment de son évolution
The specificity principle was introduced in the Civil code in 1804 to ensure the development of the modern economy. Then, it gained ground and became a fundamental principle of security law. However, at the end of the 20th century, it was violently criticized : it was accused to diffuse rigidity in security law and put a brake on credit. In addition to the principle noxiousness, its theoretical criticism was all the more announcing its decline in French law, because in foreign states the influence of the American security interest, which does not know the principle, was widening. However, the reform preserved, while softened, the principle in French law. The softening of the principle is the mark of a enlightened reform which is intuitively return to the principle origins to confer it the flexibility that the original legislator wanted, but which had been choked by an inadequate theoretical conception. This conception has to be renewed now. Only a return to original sources of hypothec specificity principle is able to capture its practical realty in order to lay the foundation stone of an adapted theoretical conception, which push to removing security law from patrimony rights. The specificity principle is not a sign of the archaism of real and personal security French law, it is, on the contrary, the ferment of his evolution

Abstract:
Aesthetic criticism very often has been overlooked and considered a lesser form. However, many interpretations, applications and discernments can be obtained from this kind of art writing. Using Osvaldo Sánchez's work as a case study, this thesis examines how writerly art criticism offers an active reading framework of the work of art by using philosophical, literary and poetic constructions. In this regard, I will see how the "writerly" condition has contributed compelling insights to the History of Aesthetics, highlighting the connections and disconnections between Sánchez and other writerly critics, which demonstrates the significance of developing a flexible, available and aesthetic learning model of art appreciation. I will analyze as well various models of experience, subjective and objective, that release certain "openness" as a premise for their existences. Here are included the Kantian sublime, Heidegger's ontological Being, the surrealist cultivation of chance, Kaprow's happenings, and the attitude of disinterest developed by the vanishing poets as defended by the scholar Rafael Hernández Rodríguez. I will show that, by choosing an accommodating approach to discover forms of knowledge, an assortment of valuable empirical content can be found. Finally, I investigate the writerly work of Cuban critic Osvaldo Sánchez that does not adopt a fixed critical pattern. Instead, Sánchez's art writing passes through fields, providing us with a heuristic methodology in which the aesthetic emerges not as a preconditioned set of principles/procedures, but as a true lived experience.

Maire, Guillaume. "Volonté et exécution forcée de l’obligation." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LORR0145.

Full text
Abstract:
La volonté et l’exécution forcée de l’obligation apparaissent comme deux notions opposées : l’une renvoie à l’idée de liberté, alors que l’autre fait écho à celle de contrainte. Elles entretiennent pourtant des liens étroits. Ceux-ci ne sont pas à chercher dans le fondement du droit à l’exécution forcée dont le créancier est titulaire, et ce même lorsque l’obligation sur laquelle porte ce droit est née d’un accord de volontés. Si la volonté constitue un critère de définition de l’exécution forcée, son influence se manifeste surtout lors du régime de cette sanction. Elle intervient, en premier lieu, comme élément déclencheur, lors de la mise en œuvre des droits que la loi confère au créancier en cas d’inexécution de l’obligation. Elle est, en second lieu, susceptible de jouer un rôle en amont lors de l’aménagement conventionnel du droit à l’exécution forcée de l’obligation. Cette double influence de la volonté sur le prononcé de l’exécution forcée risque de porter atteinte aux intérêts des parties, ainsi qu’à des valeurs et principes supérieurs : les libertés et droits fondamentaux et la loyauté. Un contrôle judiciaire de la volonté, révélant les limites à l’influence de la volonté, doit ainsi être réalisé. Il assure la conciliation, d’une part, de l’utilité sociale de l’obligation, que sert le droit à l’exécution forcée, et de la liberté contractuelle avec, d’autre part, les libertés et droits fondamentaux et la loyauté. C’est à une juste conciliation de ces exigences, ainsi qu’à un encadrement du droit à l’exécution forcée et de son aménagement conventionnel auxquels aboutit l’étude de l’exécution forcée appréhendée sous l’angle de la volonté
Willingness and specific performance may seem opposed, because the first one refers to freedom while the second one to constraint. Yet, willingness and specific performance are strongly linked. Those links are not to be found in the grounds of the creditor’s specific performance right, even if the obligation on which this right is based comes from an agreement between the parties. While willingness is a criterion used to define specific performance, it especially expresses its influence when it comes to the regime of this sanction. Firstly, willingness influences, as a trigger, the implementation of the rights given by the law to the creditor in case of unperformed obligation. Secondly, it is likely to have a role to play upstream when parties contractually agree on an arrangement of the obligation specific performance’s right.This double influence of willingness on specific performance imposition is likely to affect both party interests and greater value and principles such as individual fundamental rights and freedoms and loyalty. A judicial assessment of willingness, which would highlight the limits of willingness influence, must be carried out. It would combine on the one hand the social utility of obligation - which is provided by specific performance - and freedom of contract with, on the other hand, fundamental rights and freedoms and loyalty. This study on specific performance, viewed from a willingness perspective, results in providing a framework for both the specific performance right and its contractual arrangement as well as a fair conciliation of those requirements

Abstract:
This ethnographic study explores treatment practices and staff-resident interaction at a detention home for young men, drawing on video recorded conversations and interviews. It investigates ideological dilemmas inherent in the institutional setting and how these produce complex subject positions to uptake, negotiate or refuse. Study I explores a core treatment dilemma: coercion vs. freedom, involving the dual institutional goal of coercing residents into norm abiding behavior and of producing individuals who behave "properly" out of their own free will. It focuses on staff members’ talk about token economy, illuminating rhetorical resources deployed to avoid the troubled subject position of a disciplinarian. Study II investigates disciplinary humor, illuminating how humor is used both to impose and disrupt social order. It shows how staff members and youths skillfully deploy humor in negotiating local hierarchies related to authority, generation, and age. Humor was also found to be a useful way of navigating ideological dilemmas. Study III explores behavior modification practices, focusing on how selfassessment practices can be conceptualized as responsibilization that emphasizes self-regulation. It documents the participants’ engagement in strategic deployment of specific subject position relations, “young boy”-caregiver rather than delinquent-disciplinarian. In brief, the thesis shows that subject positions are essentially co-constructed, and how positions related to age are highly relevant in this institutional setting. Paradoxical aspects of subject positions provide discursive resources that can be deployed to navigate ideological dilemmas such as that of coercion vs. freedom, but also to handle issues of authenticity.
Denna etnografiska studie undersöker behandlingspraktiker och interaktion mellan personal och ungdomar på ett särskilt ungdomshem för unga män. Materialet består framförallt av videoinspelad interaktion och intervjuer. I studien utforskas ideologiska dilemman samt hur dessa producerar komplexa subjektspositioner att uppta, förhandla om eller neka. Studie I undersöker ett huvuddilemma: tvång vs. frihet, vilket involverar de dubbla institutionella målen att tvinga ungdomarna till önskvärt beteende och att producera individer som beter sig ”korrekt” av egen fri vilja. Fokus ligger på personalens tal om teckenekonomi och studien synliggör retoriska resurser som används för att undvika positionen ”disciplinär personal”. Studie II utforskar disciplinerande humor och synliggör hur humor används både för att skapa och omskapa den sociala ordningen. Studien visar hur personal och ungdomar skickligt använder humor i förhandlingar om lokala hierarkier relaterade till auktoritet, generation och ålder. Humor var också ett sätt att navigera ideologiska dilemman. Studie III undersöker beteendemodifieringspraktiker, med fokus på hur självutvärdering kan förstås som responsibilisering med fokus på själv-reglering. Studien dokumenterar deltagarnas strategiska användning av specifika subjektspositionsrelationer, ”liten pojke”-vårdare snarare än ungdomsbrottsling-disciplinär personal. Sammantaget visar avhandlingen att subjektspositioner i grunden är samkonstruerade och att positioner rörande ålder är ytterst relevanta i denna kontext. Paradoxala aspekter av subjektspositioner bidrar med diskursiva resurser vilka kan användas för att hantera ideologiska dilemman och för att hantera frågor rörande autenticitet.

Abstract:
Western countries are regarded as open democracies where free speech is viewed assomething that people have fought and died for throughout history; several westernmilitary forces label themselves as defenders of (liberal) democratic values, wherethe citizens’ right to speak is held as utmost importance. Swedish military officershave a unique, compared with other countries, right to participate in public debatesand voice their opinions in news media and on the internet. However, throughouthistory, there have been events that indicate that soldiers do not enjoy the samerights as other citizens. This thesis explores how the Swedish Armed Forces handlefreedom of expression within its ranks and define the perceived existence of a“sphere of unsuitability”. All reviewed cases refer to a situation where the individualpublicly contradicts the organisations’ own expressed views and interests. Thisthesis has identified the existence of a “sphere of unsuitability” that, together withambiguous messages from the Swedish Armed Forces, has led to military personnelwithdrawing from public debates, even under anonymity. The conflict between theindividual’s freedom of expression and military interests occurs on several levelswhen criticism lies outside what the Armed Forces perceive as acceptable.In summary, the tentative conclusion is that although loyalty and reliabilitymay be called into question by the military, it is when the Armed Forces’ labels anexpression or opinion as unsuitable that the individual may lose any furtheropportunities of a career. The study makes two main research contributions. First,addressing how the Swedish Armed Forces deal with freedom of expression withinits organisation provides an empirical investigation of a critical democratic issue.Second, by identifying a perceived “sphere of unsuitability”, including how such asphere is constructed, the thesis adds theoretical substance to a developing researchfield.

Abstract:
« La garantie des droits de l’homme et du citoyen nécessite une force publique : cette force est donc instituée pour l’avantage de tous, et non pour l’utilité particulière de ceux auxquels elle est confiée. » Telle est la lettre de l’article 12 de la Déclaration des droits de l’Homme et du citoyen du 26 août 1789. La relation qui s’opère entre la force publique et les droits de l’homme présente un caractère amphibologique. En effet, la force publique est à la fois la garante des droits de l’homme, mais elle constitue en même temps un danger potentiel d’atteinte aux libertés publiques. Notre étude a donc pour objet de s’interroger sur la manière dont la force publique peut être la garante des droits et libertés. L’état de paix sociale est généré par la force publique qui se pose comme étant la garante des droits et libertés par l'exercice du monopole de la violence physique légitime (Max WEBER). L’exercice du monopole de la contrainte physique légitime doit viser à garantir les droits et libertés de chaque être humain vivant au sein de la société. Pour atteindre ce but fondamental, il est nécessaire que la contrainte exercée soit encadrée. Il conviendra d’étudier les éventuelles atteintes à ces droits et libertés selon une gradation examinée par rapport à l’action de la force publique. À cet égard, il convient d’étudier l’encadrement juridique de l’emploi de la contrainte opérée par la force publique au regard des libertés individuelles, lesquelles concernent la liberté d’aller et de venir et le droit de propriété. Puis, l’on examinera les atteintes potentielles de la force publique à l’égard de l’intégrité de la personne
"The guarantee of the rights of man and citizen requires a public force: this force is thus instituted for the advantage of all and not for the personal benefit of those to whom it is entrusted." This is the letter of Article 12 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 26 August 1789. The relationship that occurs between law enforcement and human rights presents an amphibological character. Indeed, the police is both the guarantor of human rights, but it is also a potential danger of infringement of civil liberties. Our study aims to question the way in which the police may be the guarantor of rights and freedoms.The state of social peace is generated by the public force that arises as the guarantor of rights and freedoms by exercising the monopoly of legitimate physical violence (Max WEBER). The exercise of the monopoly of legitimate physical coercion must seek to ensure the rights and freedoms of every human being living in society. To achieve this fundamental goal, it is necessary that the coercion is framed. It will be necessary to investigate possible violations of these rights and freedoms in a gradation examined in relation to the action of the police. In this regard, it is necessary to study the legal framework for the use of coercion made by the police in respect of individual freedoms, which concerns freedom of coming and going and the right to property. Then, we examine the potential damage of the police with regard to the person's integrity

Abstract:
Le droit potestatif permet à son titulaire de créer, modifier ou éteindre la situation juridique d’autrui. La relation de travail, quant à elle, est empreinte d’une logique de pouvoir(s). Comment intégrer dans ces conditions le concept de droit potestatif au contrat de travail ? Comment ce dernier réceptionne-t-il la potestativité ? À quel prix la figure du droit potestatif s’adapte-t-elle ? Si les droits potestatifs sont acceptés dans le contrat de travail, ce n’est que de manière encadrée, dirigée, limitée. Les droits potestatifs sont alors contrôlés et sanctionnés par une jurisprudence qui entend en faire respecter l’esprit et les limites. Mais, parce que le droit potestatif s’exerce au moyen d’un acte unilatéral, parce qu’il s’agit de la faculté d’imposer sa volonté à autrui, les intérêts du destinataire ne doivent-ils pas a minima être préservés ? L’objet du contrat de travail, la subordination du salarié, pose ainsi notamment la question de la place à accorder aux droits et libertés fondamentaux du salarié
A potestative right allows his holder to create, modify or extinguish another’s legal situation. The employment relation, as for it, is marked by a logic of power(s). How, in these conditions, does the concept of potestative right enter the employment contract? How does the latter receive the potestative right ? What sacrifices should be made by the potestative rights ?If potestative rights are accepted in the employment contract, it is only in a framed, supervised and limited way. Potestative rights are then controlled and sanctioned by judges willing to enforce both its spirit and limits.However, since the potestative right is applied through a unilateral act, because it concerns the ability to impose one’s will upon others, shouldn’t the interests of the recipient be preserved, at the very least? The object of the employment contract, the subordination of the employee, therefore leads towards the question of the place to begiven to the employee’s fundamental rights and freedoms

Abstract:
Due to the increased number of the amount of asylum-seekers that have migrated to Sweden lately, the topic has received increased attention. This has contributed to housing shortage and policy reforms for new migrants to arise in order to ensure that everybody gets housing. Asylum seekers often experience more difficult patterns to housing, and for LGBT asylum seekers especially since they are such a marginalised group in our society already. Housing is an important part in the initial settlement stage and good housing enables successful resettlement and that will help with the integration process. The aim of this thesis is to look at LGBT asylum seekers mobility and what constrains and opportunities they face in that process. To answer these questions qualitative method and semi-structured life story interviews have been performed with twelve LGBT asylum seekers. The result of these interviews has been presented around four different concepts that were factors contributing to their mobility. These four concepts that were found in the interviews was forced migration, homophobia, social network and freedom. These findings should be of interest for further studies in order for LGBT asylum seekers mobility patters to become more safe and secure.

Abstract:
Low Intensity Conflict (LIC) is a significant feature of the contemporary world and it is a particular challenge to the armed forces of many states which are involved is such conflict, or are likely to become so. This thesis is not concerned with how such difficult conflict situations arise. Rather it is concerned with how, from the point of view of the state, they may be contained and ultimately brought to a satisfactory resolution. The work is thus concerned with the practicalities of ending LIC. More specifically, the purpose of this research is to establish a framework of doctrinal and military principles applicable to the prevention and resolution of LIC. The principles of this thesis are based in numerous historical examples of LIC and six in depth case studies. These distilled principles are analysed in two central chapters, and are then applied in two latter defence force chapters so as to ensure there practicality and resilience. Numerous defence academics and military practitioners have been consulted in the production of this thesis; their contribution has further reinforced the functionality of the principles examined in this research. The research illustrates the criticality of a holistic approach to LIC. The function of this approach is to guarantee the stability of the sovereign state, by unifying civil, police, intelligence and military services. The effectiveness of the military elements must also be ensured, as military force is central to the suppression of LIC. Consequently, the research makes strategic and operational prescriptions, so as to improve the capability of defence forces that are concerned with preventing or resolving LIC.

According to the media, Muslims tend to violence behavior, are not open to dialogue and oppress their women. This view comes from the representations made in the middle aged Europe and does not reflect the behavior of Islam s faithful people living in our country, but it also represents the imaginary of Brazilian people and interferes directly in the relations among the members of this religious group and the rest of the population. Considering that the Federal Constitution states that every citizen is free for practice the chosen religion, this work intends to analyze the attitude of the media that acts like an instrument of labelling, to demonstrate social mechanisms that cause this behavior of the media and to verify the consequences in the people that lives in Mogi das Cruzes Muslim Community
Segundo os veículos de imprensa, os muçulmanos têm tendências a comportamentos violentos, não têm pré-disposição ao diálogo e oprimem suas mulheres. Esta imagem tem sua origem nas representações elaboradas na Europa medieval e não reflete o comportamento das pessoas fiéis ao Islã que vivem em nosso país, mas está cristalizada no imaginário do povo brasileiro e interfere diretamente nas relações convivência entre os membros deste grupo religioso e o restante da população. Tendo em vista que a Constituição Federal garante a todo cidadão seu direito à liberdade religiosa, este trabalho pretende analisar a postura da mídia que age como instrumento de rotulação, demonstrar os mecanismos sociais que causam esta postura, e verificar quais as consequências desta na vida das pessoas que fazem parte da comunidade muçulmana sediada na cidade de Mogi das Cruzes/SP

Full text
Abstract:
Comment l'expérience de la liberté devient-elle sensible? L'expérience esthétique peut-elle nous former à la liberté ? En critiquant les Lumières, et pour en sauver le geste initial, Friedrich Schiller est l'un des premiers penseurs à avertir ses contemporains des contradictions inhérentes à la liberté. Notamment dans les « Lettres sur l'éducation esthétique de l'homme » écrites en 1795, il pointe le danger d'un totalitarisme inhumain, opéré au nom de la Raison. Aux yeux de Schiller, l'aspiration à la liberté est fondée sur l'éducation du sentiment; et réciproquement, la culture du sentiment se fonde sur l'expérience de la liberté, dont l'expression est la beauté. Ce jeu d'aller-retour est un fil conducteur dans la pensée schillérienne et la manifestation typique du rapport entre autonomie et réciprocité. En prêtant attention à la langue de Schiller, il apparaît que le dialogue vivant est à la source de ses théories esthétiques qui privilégient la forme épistolaire. La correspondance entre Schiller et Goethe montre de manière exemplaire comment dans l'amitié chacun se forme au contact de l'autre à travers une poétique du dialogue. L'hypothèse selon laquelle l'adresse est constitutive de la pensée se trouve confirmée dans les lettres Kallias, dont l'objet est la définition du beau ainsi que la valeur de l'œuvre d'art. Par ailleurs, la maturation de l'individu et la question de son rôle au sein de la société se déploient dans le roman d'apprentissage. La visée de ce travail est de restituer la valeur d'une éducation esthétique aujourd'hui, de considérer ses enjeux politiques et sa portée éthique - de réhabiliter, en quelque sorte, le portrait de l'Aufklärer comme type humain
How does the experience of freedom become sensible? What part does the aesthetic experience play in creating our freedom? By criticizing the Enlightenment, and to save its initial gesture, Friedrich Schiller is one of the first thinkers to warn his contemporaries about the contradictions inherent in freedom. Particularly with his "Letters on the aesthetic education of man", written in 1795, he highlights the danger of an inhumane totalitarianism undertaken on behalf of reason. For Schiller, the aspiration to freedom is based on the education of feeling; and reciprocally, the cultivation of feeling is based on the experience of freedom, that finds its expression in beauty. This interplay is a recurrent theme in Schiller's thought and a typical manifestation of the relation between autonomy and reciprocity. By paying attention to Schiller's language, it seems that lively dialogue is the source of his aesthetic theories that favor the epistolary form. The correspondence between Schiller and Goethe is an exemplary case of friendship that gives birth to each other's autonomy through a poetic of dialogue. The hypothesis that the address is constitutive in the thought is confirmed by the Kallias letters, exchanged with Komer. Their abject is the definition of beauty and the value of works of art. Furthermore, the maturation of an individual, and the question regarding his role in society, is developed in the Bildungsroman. The aim of this present work is to reproduce the value of the project of an aesthetic education for today, to consider its political and ethical significance -ta re-establish, in a way, the portrait of the Aufklärer as a human type

La present tesi se centra l'estudi de l'origen i la regulació actual de les que podem anomenar llegitimes alimentàries en relació amb la llibertat de testar. L'estudi està desenvolupat seguint el mètode històric-comparat a causa de la implicació de 10 sistemes legals. D'una banda, aquells ordenaments jurídics en què hi ha llibertat de testar plena solament limitada per un dret d'aliments legal en favor de determinats parents i el cònjuge; són els sistemes successoris de Mèxic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Hondures, Costa Rica i Panamà. I, d'altra banda, va semblar oportú estudiar aquells drets civils espanyols que conserven la legítima, més o menys curta, ´que consisteix en un dret d'aliments; en aquest cas s'ha estudiat Catalunya, Aragó i València. Com a objectiu accessori es traça l'evolució històrica del desenvolupament del codis, a més de trobar l'origen de la llibertat de testar a Amèrica llatina en Don Andrés Bello i establir quins van ser els motius que van fer florir la llibertat de testar a Mèxic i als països centreamericans. Més encara quan en la resta d’ex colònies espanyoles perviu el sistema legitimari castellà.
La presente tesis es el estudio del origen y la regulación actual de las que podemos llamar legitimas alimentarias en relación con la libertad de testar. El estudio está desarrollado bajo el método histórico-comparado debido a la implicación de 10 sistemas legales. Por una parte, por aquellos ordenamientos jurídicos en que los que hay libertad de testar plena solo limitada por un derecho de alimentos legal en favor de determinados parientes y el cónyuge; son los sistemas sucesorios de México, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, y Panamá. Y por otra parte, pareció oportuno estudiar aquellos derechos civiles españoles que conservan la legítima, más o menos corta, pero en la que está legítima consiste en un derecho de alimentos; en este caso se ha estudiado Cataluña, Aragón y Valencia. Como objetivo accesorio se trazo la evolución histórica del desarrollo del códigos, además de encontrar el origen de la libertad de testar en América latina en Don Andrés Bello y establecer cuáles fueron los motivos que hicieron florecer la libertad de testar en México y los países centroamericanos. Máxime cuando en el resto de ex colonias españolas pervive el sistema legitimario castellano.
This dissertation is the study of the origin and current regulation of what we call the duty, for after de death, to provide some form of child support (alimony) to certain family members and its relation with the testamentary freedom. The study is developed under the historical-comparative method due to the involvement of 10 legal systems. The object of the study were, in one hand, those legal systems where there is absolute testamentary freedom limited only by the duty to provide some form of child support (alimony) in favor of certain relatives and spouse. Those succession systems are Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Panama. On the other hand, it seemed appropriate to study those Spanish cases where besides the forced heirs, we can find the duty to provide some form of child support (alimony) in favor of certain relatives and spouse; in this case it has been studied Catalonia, Aragon and Valencia. Besides the above mentioned, setting the historical evolution and the development of the civil codes in America Latina was a secondary objective. The above helped to finding the source of the testamentary freedom in Latin America and to establish the Chilean Civil Code and its author Don Andrés Bello as the origin of the testamentary freedom in Mexico and Central American countries.
