Abstract:
As it is generally conceived, knowledge belongs to the individual: we imagine how a lightbulb suddenly illuminates above the scientist's head, a muse whispers in the philosopher's ear, cogs slide into place as wheels turn in the thinker's mind, and, "Eureka!" an idea is born. As an individualistic experience, knowledge is secure in the repository of the mind, a "steel trap" as it is so often referred, which can only be breached by the most sophisticated and precise methods. From these popular representations of knowledge, one can extrapolate further to conclude that knowledge is not made, it i

Abstract:
This thesis considers how Wikipedia justifies, structures, and legitimizes its production of knowledge. To do so the thesis positions Wikipedia as a site of conflict over the epistemic values between its wiki and encyclopaedic traditions. Through the literature review, the wiki epistemology is argued to be composed of six values: self-identification, collaboration, co-construction, cooperation, trust in the community, and constructionism. While these values are explicit, encyclopaedism’s were not found to be equally defined. To fill this gap, the thesis conducts a genre analysis of encyclopaed

Over the five year period 2005-2010 the crime drama became one of the most produced genres on American prime-time television and also one of the most routinely ignored academically.

I term these new shows ‘consultant procedurals’. Consequently, the genre moved away from dealing with the ills of society and instead focused on the mystery of crime. Refocusing the genre gave

Abstract:
<p> Writing plays an important role in the academic and professional success of each UL Lafayette student&mdash;whether he or she is in the sciences, business, education, or liberal arts. It is not enough for a student to be a writer, he or she must to be the best possible writer in his or her discipline of study and in his or her career after college. In my research, I have explored the possibility of maximizing writing abilities of students by proposing what I call the genre method for knowledge transfer, where the Writing Center collects and stores, in a database, writing samples from all a

Abstract:
<p>The topic of gene regulation is a major research area in the bioinformatics community. In this thesis prior knowledge from Gene Ontology in the form of templates is integrated into the fitness function of an evolutionary algorithm to predict gene regulatory networks. The resulting multi-objective fitness functions are then tested with MAPK network data taken from KEGG to evaluate their respective performances. The results are presented and analyzed. However, a clear tendency cannot be observed. The results are nevertheless promising and can provide motivation for further research in that di

Abstract:
Die Untersuchung des Phänotyps bringt z.B. bei genetischen Krankheiten ein Verständnis der zugrunde liegenden Mechanismen mit sich. Aufgrund dessen wurden neue Technologien wie RNA-Interferenz (RNAi) entwickelt, die Genfunktionen entschlüsseln und mehr phänotypische Daten erzeugen. Interpretation der Ergebnisse solcher Versuche ist insbesondere bei heterogenen Daten eine große Herausforderung. Wenige Ansätze haben bisher Daten über die direkte Verknüpfung von Genotyp und Phänotyp hinaus interpretiert. Diese Dissertation zeigt neue Methoden, die Entdeckungen in Phänotypen über Spezies und Meth

Abstract:
En el marc de la teoria sociocultural, aquesta tesi investiga el procés d’ensenyament i aprenentatge dels marcadors discursius en llengua catalana com a primera llengua (L1) dins l’àmbit acadèmic universitari mitjançant el disseny i l’aplicació d’una seqüència didàctica orientada a promoure la reflexió metalingüística i metadiscursiva sobre aquest concepte. La seqüència didàctica focalitza el treball sobre els marcadors en un gènere discursiu acadèmic, al qual hem anomenat informe de recerca. Per dur a terme l’estudi, hem efectuat una anàlisi qualitativa-interpretativa dels processos d’aprenen

Abstract:
La présente thèse dont la problématique émerge de l'existence des rapports sociaux de sexe sur la scène sociale au Liban, vise à y trouver une contribution du système scolaire dans la formation de l'identité sexuée chez les élèves au primaire. Son objectif principal est d'explorer les façons dont l'institution scolaire traite les élèves des deux sexes, et qui engendre ensuite son rôle indéniable dans l'édification du genre chez eux-elles. L'hypothèse principale suppose à cet égard qu'une telle construction identitaire ne s'effectue pas de la même manière chez les filles et les garçons au sein

A la croisée de l’anthropologie de la maladie et de l’anthropologie de la santé, cette thèse explore la diversité des savoirs et des pratiques de soins dédiés à la prévention ainsi qu’au traitement des problèmes de santé considérés comme spécifiquement féminins en France rurale. L’ethnographie a été menée sur la presqu’île du Médoc, territoire où l’imaginaire lié à la nature fait naître des représentations sur la population entre fantasmes et stigmates, et où se pose régulièrement la question de la désertification médicale, à l’instar d’autres campagnes françaises.
