Thesis advisor: David Hollenbach<br>Transnational Catholic nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are among the most active agents in the promotion of the global common good as they seek to overcome the structures of sin that divide the human family. This dissertation investigates the theological and ethical significance of Catholic NGOs by developing a critical framework that uncovers the relationship between these organizations and the church's mission. Part One considers the global context and theoretical foundations of Catholic NGO action by examining social scientific literature (Chapter One) and modern Catholic teaching on the relationship between mission and justice (Chapter Two). Part Two places the theoretical foundations into dialogue with two case studies--the International Movement of Catholic Students-Pax Romana (Chapter Three) and the Jesuit Refugee Service (Chapter Four). This critical investigation of both theory and praxis illuminates several missiological, pneumatological, and ethical conclusions that are addressed in the final part (Chapter Five). This dissertation asserts three conclusions regarding the theological signifigance of Catholic NGOs. First, in contrast to some interpretations of the role of the church in the world, the actions of Catholic NGOs for the global common good are an integral part of the church's mission. Second, these organizations can be described as structures of grace as they embody charity and charism in their efforts to overcome the divisive effects of structural sin. Finally, a more robust awareness of the theological dimensions of their work can aid these and other organizations respond more effectively and ethically to the demands of the global common good today<br>Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2013<br>Submitted to: Boston College.

Full textAbstract:
Since 2002, NASA's GRACE Satellite mission has allowed scientists of various disciplines to analyze and map the changes in Earth's total water storage on a global scale. Although the raw data is available to the public, the process of viewing, manipulating, and analyzing the GRACE data can be difficult for those without strong technological backgrounds in programming or geospatial software. This is particularly true for water managers in developing countries, where GRACE data could be a valuable asset for sustainable water resource management. To address this problem, I have a developed a utility for subsetting GRACE data to particular regions of interest and I have packaged that utility in a web app that allows water managers to quickly and easily visualize GRACE data these regions. Using the GLDAS-Noah Land Surface Model, the total water storage for the regions derived from the raw GRACE data is decomposed into surface water, soil moisture, and groundwater components. The GRACE Groundwater Subsetting Tool is easily deployed, open-source, and provides access to all of the major signal processing solutions available for the total water storage data. The application has been successfully applied to both developed and developing countries in various parts of the world, including the Central Valley region in California, Bangladesh, the La Plata River Basin in South America, and the SERVIR Hindu Kush Himalaya region. The groundwater data in this application has proven capable of monitoring groundwater use based on drought trends as well as agricultural demand in a number of locations and can assist in uniting decision makers and water users in the mission of sustainably managing the world's groundwater resources.

L’estimation des variations spatio-temporelles du champ de gravité terrestre à partir des mesures de la mission satellitaire Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) ont permis de mieux comprendre les redistributions de masse à des échelles de temps mensuelle, saisonnière ou décennale. Les solutions GRACE produites par différents centres, adoptant des stratégies de traitement différentes, conduisent à des résultats cohérents. Cependant, ces solutions présentent aussi des erreurs aléatoires et systématiques, celles-ci pouvant avoir une structure spatio-temporelle spécifique. Afin de réduire le bruit et améliorer la qualité des signaux géophysiques présents dans les données GRACE, plusieurs méthodes ont été proposées mais nécessitent en général des informations a priori sur la structure spatio-temporelle du bruit pourtant mal connue. Malgré les efforts considérables effectués pour améliorer la qualité des données GRACE pour des applications géophysiques de plus en plus fines, le filtrage du bruit reste une question problématique comme exposé dans le Chapitre 1. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons une approche différente, utilisant une technique de filtrage spatio-temporel, la Multichannel Singular Spectrum Analysis (M-SSA) décrite dans le Chapitre 2. La M-SSA est une méthode s’adaptant aux données, à variables multiples et non-paramétrique, qui exploite simultanément les corrélations spatiales et temporelles d’un champ géophysique. Nous utilisons la M-SSA sur 13 ans de données GRACE en harmoniques sphériques distribuées par cinq centres de calculs. Nous montrons que cette méthode permet d’extraire les modes de variabilité communs aux différentes solutions, et de réduire significativement les erreurs spatio-temporelles spécifiques à chaque solution et liées aux différentes stratégies de calculs. En particulier, cette méthode filtre efficacement les stries Nord-Sud dues, entre autres, aux imperfections des modèles de corrections des phénomènes connus. Dans le Chapitre 3, nous comparons notre solution GRACE à d’autres solutions en harmoniques sphériques et à des solutions basées sur des blocs de concentration de masse (mascons) utilisant des a priori sur la structure spatio-temporelle du signal géophysique. Nous comparons également les performances de notre solution M-SSA GRACE par rapport à d’autres solutions en calculant la déformation de surface induite par les variations de masse déduites des mesures GRACE et en la comparant avec des mesures indépendantes de déplacement provenant des stations du Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Enfin, nous discutons dans le Chapitre 4 d’une application possible d’une solution GRACE améliorée pour répondre à des questions encore débattues liées au rebond post-glaciaire. Plus précisément, nous nous intéressons à la séparation du signal du rebond post-glaciaire, lié à la fonte ancienne, du signal de fonte récente des glaces dans la région de la Géorgie du Sud<br>Measurements of the spatio-temporal variations of Earth’s gravity field recovered from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission have led to unprecedented insights into large spatial mass redistribution at secular, seasonal, and sub-seasonal time scales. GRACE solutions from various processing centers, while adopting different processing strategies, result in rather coherent estimates. However, these solutions also exhibit random as well as systematic errors, with specific spatial and temporal patterns in the latter. In order to dampen the noise and enhance the geophysical signals in the GRACE data, several methods have been proposed. Among these, methods based on filtering techniques require a priori assumptions regarding the spatio-temporal structure of the errors. Despite the large effort to improve the quality of GRACE data for always finer geophysical applications, removing noise remains a problematic question as discussed in Chapter 1. In this thesis, we explore an alternative approach, using a spatio-temporal filter, namely the Multichannel Singular Spectrum Analysis (M-SSA) described in Chapter 2. M-SSA is a data-adaptive, multivariate, and non-parametric method that simultaneously exploits the spatial and temporal correlations of geophysical fields to extract common modes of variability. We perform an M-SSA simultaneously on 13 years of GRACE spherical harmonics solutions from five different processing centers. We show that the method allows for the extraction of common modes of variability between solutions, and removal of the solution-specific spatio-temporal errors arising from each processing strategies. In particular, the method filters out efficiently the spurious North-South stripes, most likely caused by aliasing of the imperfect geophysical correction models of known phenomena. In Chapter 3, we compare our GRACE solution to other spherical harmonics solutions and to mass concentration (mascon) solutions which use a priori information on the spatio-temporal pattern of geophysical signals. We also compare performance of our M-SSA GRACE solution with respect to others by predicting surface displacements induced by GRACE-derived mass loading and comparing results with independent displacement data from stations of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Finally, in Chapter 4 we discuss the possible application of a refined GRACE solution to answer debated post-glacial rebound questions. More precisely, we focus on separating the post-glacial rebound signal related to past ice melting and the present ice melting in the region of South Georgia

Desastres naturais (secas, enchentes, etc) têm resultado em perdas humanas e grandes prejuízos financeiros em diversos lugares do mundo. Os recentes períodos de seca ocorridos na região sudeste do Brasil mostraram a importância de se dispor de estratégias de mitigação dos efeitos decorrentes desses eventos extremos. Um pré-requisito para prever impactos desses eventos no futuro, é compreender como os mesmos ocorreram no passado, caracterizando-os espacial e temporalmente. Diante do exposto, o objetivo deste trabalho é quantificar os impactos regionais no sistema hidrológico causados por eventos extremos e identificar conexões entre as secas meteorológicas e hidrológicas, usando a bacia do rio Paraná como estudo de caso. Para tanto, foram identificados e caracterizados os principais eventos de seca ocorridos entre 1995 e 2015, analisaram-se as perdas de água nos componentes do balanço hídrico e no armazenamento total de água. Foram utilizados dados de sensoriamento remoto, incluindo medições da missão GRACE de anomalias no armazenamento total de água terrestre (TWSA), e estimativas de precipitação e evapotranspiração pelos satélites TRMM e MODIS, respectivamente. Simulações de modelos globais de assimilação de dados de superfície terrestre forneceram estimativas de escoamento superficial e umidade do solo. Foram coletados dados de 37 reservatórios para quantificar as perdas de água no armazenamento em terra. Os resultados mostram que o TWSA diminuiu 150 ± 50 km3 entre 2011 e 2015 na bacia do rio Paraná, o armazenamento dos reservatórios diminuiu 30% em relação à capacidade máxima do sistema com taxas de -17 a -25 km3 ano-1 durante as secas. Foram identificados seis grupos de reservatórios cujas respostas são variáveis de acordo com tipo de forçante (natural ou antropogênica) de maior controle. A análise dos tempos de resposta do sistema hidrológico sugere um tempo de até aproximadamente 6 meses para que medidas de combate às secas sejam tomadas. Este estudo ressalta as vantagens do uso combinado de dados de diferentes fontes em estudos regionais.<br>Natural disasters have caused major economics and human losses globally. Recent droughts over Southeast Brazil underscored the importance of having mitigation strategies to fight the effects from extreme events and a prerequisite to anticipate the impacts from future events is an understanding of past droughts by means of spatial and temporal characterization. The objective of this study is to quantify regional impacts of extreme events on the hydrological system and identify linkages between meteorological and hydrological droughts. To this end, major droughts events between 1995 and 2015 were identified and characterized. Depletion in total water storage (TWS) and main components of the water budget were analyzed. Simulated soil moisture and runoff from land surface models and remote sensing data were used, including measurements of TWS anomalies (TWSA) data from GRACE mission, rainfall and evapotranspiration estimates from TRMM and MODIS satellites, respectively. To quantify reservoir storage depletion, data from 37 reservoirs were collected. Results show that TWSA declined by 150 ± 50 km3 between 2011 and 2015 in the Paraná basin; and reservoir storage decreased 30% relative to the system\'s maximum capacity, with negative trends ranging from -17 to -25 km3 yr-1 during the droughts. Six groups of reservoirs were identified whose response vary according to the main forcing type: human and/or natural controls. Analysis of the system\'s time lag responses indicated a 6 month window during which actions could be taken to combat the drought impacts. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating remote sensing, modelling and monitoring data to evaluate droughts and develop a comprehensive understanding of the linkages between meteorological and hydrological droughts for future management.

Une bonne compréhension du cycle continental de l'eau est un enjeu crucial de la modélisation climatique. La mission de gravimétrie spatiale GRACE lancée en 2002 a permis pour la première fois de mesurer les variations temporelles de la gravité terrestre avec une résolution temporelle de l'ordre du mois. Sur le domaine continental, les variations temporelles de la gravité résultent principalement des redistributions saisonnières et interannuelles de masse d'eau dans les bassins fluviaux. Ainsi GRACE est un outil unique pour étudier le bilan d'eau dans les grands bassins fluviaux et le cycle continental de l'eau. Dans le présent travail de thèse, on a étudié les variations du stock d'eau total mesuré par GRACE dans les bassins fluviaux du continent sud-américain, en particulier dans le bassin amazonien. On a analysé les évolutions spatio-temporelles du stock d'eau dans chacun des sous bassins de l'Amazone, leur lien avec les données de hauteur d'eau in situ le long des cours d'eau et avec les précipitations. On a pu mettre en évidence la forte signature du phénomène ENSO sur l'hydrologie de ce bassin et la réponse du stock d'eau total à ce forçage. Dans une dernière partie, on a abordé la question de l'utilisation des données GRACE dans la modélisation hydrologique du sous bassin du Rio Negro. Les principales limitations de la modélisation actuelle ont été mises en évidence et on a discuté les perspectives d'améliorations futures<br>Understanding large scale water fluxes is a great challenge to be met when addressing climate modeling. Data from space gravimetry GRACE mission has been derived since 2002 for allowing a more precise determination of the Earth gravity field. Over the continents, main gravity changes taking place at the seasonal scale are due to the water cycle. Thus, since the planning phase GRACE data had been envisaged as a unique source of information on water cycle variability on large scale. This has been fully attested since its data became available for the scientific community. The present Ph. D. Thesis aims at discussing Total Water Storage (TWS) series derived from GRACE solutions suitability as an additional data source for large scale hydrological modeling. A great effort has been done in analyzing TWS spatiotemporal variability over large Brazilian watersheds, especially the Amazon basin. The obtained results show that GRACE TWS series could represent main water cycle characteristics at the seasonal and interannual scale. As a next step, the suitability of integrating GRACE TWS data has been addressed within a simple approach applied to the Negro River basin, one of the most important subbasins of Amazon watershed. From the obtained results many of the limitations in using these data for hydrological modeling purposes could be discussed, and a improved framework for analysis has then be proposed

Full textAbstract:
La distribution des masses à l'intérieur de la Terre régit la vitesse de rotation terrestre, ainsi que le comportement de l'axe de rotation terrestre dans la Terre, et dans l'espace. Ces distributions de masses peuvent être mesurées depuis l'espace grâce aux satellites artificiels, dont l'orbitographie donne accès à la détermination du champ de gravité terrestre. Par conséquent, les variations temporelles du champ de gravité peuvent être reliées aux variations des paramètres d'orientation terrestre (via le tenseur d'inertie). Des progrès considérables ont été effectués ces dernières années dans la modélisation des effets des couches fluides. Et de nos jours, les mesures d'orientation terrestre dans l'espace obtenues par Interférométrie à très Longue Base (VLBI) ont une exactitude meilleure qu'une milliseconde de degré. Ceci permet de progresser dans la connaissance de la dynamique globale de la Terre. Mon travail de thèse a eu pour but d'utiliser la mesure du champ de gravité et de ses variations comme outil pour compléter la modélisation de la rotation terrestre. D'une part, en vue de l'utilisation des mesures du satellite GRACE, d'une grande précision, nous avons effectué des comparaisons précises des méthodes numériques d'intégration d'orbite de Cowell et d'Encke dans le logiciel GINS du GRGS. D'autre part, nous avons établi les liens théoriques entre les Paramètres d'Orientation Terrestres (EOP) et les variations des coefficients du champ de gravité. Ainsi, nous avons utilisé les données de variations temporelles des coefficients de degré 2 du géopotentiel pour en déduire leur influence sur la longueur du jour, le mouvement du pôle et la précession de l'équateur.

L'objectif de ce travail est d'analyser les variations temporelles du champ de gravité, déterminées par la mission spatiale Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), et ses relations avec la dynamique des eaux dans la région Amazonienne. À ce titre, nous avons cherché à développer une méthodologie pour les estimations des stocks d'eau dans des zones innondables non contrôlées ou difficilement accessibles. Pour ce faire, les coefficients de Stokes, calculés par le Groupe de Recherche de Geodesie Spatiale (GRGS) de Toulouse, ont été convertis en hauteur d'eau équivalente (HEE, Equivalent water Height - EWH en anglais) sur une période d'environ 4 ans (juillet de 2002 à mai 2006). Les valeurs d'HEE ainsi obtenues ont été comparées aux niveaux d'eau in-situ collectés par l'Agence Nationale de lEau brésilienne (ANA). Le choix du bassin Amazonien pour ce travail tient au fait qu'il présente en son centre, des amplitudes d'environ 1250mm de HEE, soit les plus grandes du monde. Cette amplitude est validée indirectement par comparaison entre les déplacements crustaux verticaux équivalents à cette charge superficielle et les mouvements verticaux de la stations GPS permanente de Manaus, à proximité du centre du bassin. Nous estimons que les erreurs associées à ces HEE sont au maximum de l'ordre de ~160mm HEE. Elles proviennent des erreurs des coefficients de Stokes, de la troncation du spectre et des erreurs de contamination (leakage) d'informations hydrologiques des bassins voisins. Finalement, HEE et les données de hauteur d'eau sont comparées dans les fleuves en terme d'hydrogéologie<br>The objective of this work is to analyze the temporal variations of the gravitational field, determined by the space mission Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), and its relationships to the dynamics of water in the Amazon basin area. For this reason, was developed a methodology to estimate the water level in not controlled stocks or difficult to reach floodplains. With this intention, the Stokes coefficients, calculated by the Groupe de Recherche de Geodesie Spatiale (GRGS) Toulouse-FR, were converted into equivalent water height (EWH) for a ~4-year period (July-2002 to May-2006). In this basin, the amplitudes of EWH signal are the largest on Earth and can reach about 1250mm at the center of the basin. Analysis of the uncertainties indicate that it represents ~160 mm of EWH in this basin, including Stokes coefficient uncertainties (~130 mm), leakage errors (12 ~ 21 mm) and spectrum truncation (10 ~ 15 mm). This amplitude was indirectly validated by the comparison between equivalent vertical crustal displacements due to surface water load and the vertical movements of the Manaus GPS permanent monitoring stations, near to the center of the basin. The values of EWH thus obtained were compared with the in-situ water level collected by the Brazilian National Agency of Water (ANA) at 233 ground-based hydrometric stations (HS). Although EWH and HS measure different water bodies, high correlation, up to ~80% in most of the cases, is detected. This high correlation allows adjusting linear relationships between both series for the major tributaries of the Amazon. The regression coefficients decrease from upstream to downstream along the rivers reaching the theoretical value 1 at the mouth of the Amazon in the Atlantic Ocean

Résumé : Les eaux souterraines ont un impact majeur sur la vie terrestre, les besoins domestiques et le climat. Elles sont aussi un maillon essentiel du cycle hydrologique. Au Canada par exemple, plus de 30 % de la population est tributaire des eaux souterraines pour leur alimentation en eau potable. Ces ressources subissent de nombreuses pressions sous l’influence de certains facteurs comme la salinisation, la contamination et l’épuisement. La variabilité du climat et la demande croissante sur ces ressources imposent l'amélioration de nos connaissances sur les eaux souterraines. L’objectif principal du projet de recherche est d’exploiter les données d’anomalies (TWS) de la mission Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) pour localiser, quantifier et analyser les variations des eaux souterraines à travers les bassins versants du Bas-Mackenzie, du Saint-Laurent, du Nord-Québec et du Labrador. Il s’agit aussi d’analyser l’influence des cycles d’accumulation et de fonte de neige sur les variations du niveau des eaux souterraines. Pour estimer les variations des eaux souterraines, la connaissance des autres paramètres du bilan hydrologique est nécessaire. Ces paramètres sont estimés à l’aide des sorties du modèles de surface CLM du Système Global d’Assimilation des Données de la Terre (GLDAS). Les données GRACE qui ont été utilisées sont celles acquises durant la période allant de mars 2002 à août 2012. Les résultats ont été évalués à partir d’enregistrements de niveaux piézométriques provenant de 1841 puits localisés dans les aquifères libres du bassin des réseaux de suivi des eaux souterraines au Canada. Les valeurs de rendements spécifiques des différents types d’aquifères de chaque puits et celles des variations mensuelles du niveau d’eau dans ces puits ont été utilisées pour estimer les variations des anomalies des eaux souterraines in-situ. L’étude de corrélation entre les variations des anomalies des eaux souterraines estimées à partir de la combinaison GRACE-GLDAS et celles issues de données in-situ révèle des concordances significatives avec des valeurs de 𝑅=0,46 et 𝑅 = 0,50 entre ΔGW et ΔGWPiézo, respectivement pour le bassin du Bas-Mackenzie et celui du Saint-Laurent. Quant à la combinaison de tous les bassins, elle s’est caractérisée par une corrélation un peu plus faible (𝑅=0,44). Les valeurs des coefficients de corrélation calculée avec des données indépendantes de SWE venant des produits GlobSnow ; R = -0,68 sur le bassin du Bas-Mackenzie, R = -0,76 sur le bassin versant du Nord-du-Québec et du Labrador, R = -0,51 sur le bassin versant du Saint-Laurent et R = -0,52 pour les trois bassins réunis, montrent que ΔGW est très sensible à la quantité d’eau dans la neige, avec des spécificités pour chaque bassin versant étudié.<br>Abstract : Groundwater is an important component of the hydrological cycle. In Canada, more than 30% of the population relies on the main source of water for domestic use. These resources are under pressure factors such as salinization, contamination and exhaustion. Our knowledge on groundwater needs improvement because of climate variability and an increasing demand for these resources. The main objective of this project is to use the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission data (TWS) anomalies to locate, quantify and analyze the groundwater changes in Mackenzie St. Lawrence, North-Quebec and Labrador basins. Also this work aims to analyze the influence of accumulation cycles and snowmelt on groundwater level changes. For this groundwater changes estimation, it is necessary to estimate other water balance parameters. These parameters are estimated by using the outputs of the land surface model CLM of the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) Data Products. The TWS data used are from March 2002 to august 2012. The results were evaluated by using the groundwater levels records from 1841 wells located in the free aquifers of different Canadian groundwater monitoring networks. The Specific yields values of the different types of aquifers from each well and the monthly changes in the water level in these wells were used to estimate changes in the in-situ groundwater anomalies. The correlation study between changes in groundwater anomalies estimated from the combination GRACE-GLDAS and those from in-situ data reveals significant matches with values of R = 0,46 and R = 0,50 between ΔGW and ΔGWPiézo respectively for the Lower-Mackenzie and the St. Lawrence basins. The combination of all the basins is characterized by a slightly weaker correlation (R = 0, 44).The correlation coefficients calculated with an independent data coming from SWE GlobSnow products are R = -0, 68 for Lower-Mackenzie River Basin, R = -0, 76 for Nord-du-Québec and Labrador basin, R = -0, 51 for St. Lawrence basin and R = -0, 52 for the three basins taken together. These correlations show that ΔGW is very sensitive to the snowmelt water amount, but with specificities for each studied basin.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis seeks to explore two fundamental theological questions: first, what does it mean for the Christian community to conceive of itself as a community defined by the covenant of grace; and second, what are the implications of this distinctiveness for its socio-political mission in an age of globalization. The project is interdisciplinary in its approach, and seeks to integrate biblical and theological inquiry together with the specific opportunities and challenges found in a globalized world. Our way of organizing this thesis is attuned to the demands of argument and method of research employed. Divided into three parts, the thesis derives from a critical examination of a theology of grace and its ramifications for the mission of the church in addressing contemporary issues. Part 1 commences by surveying broadly Reformational theological scholarship from the turn of the twentieth century, and explores how this thesis will make a distinctive contribution to scholarly discussion of the church's socio-political mission through focusing on the central doctrine of grace. Part 2 constitutes a comparative analysis of three leading contemporary theologians evaluating to what extent a theology of grace is evident in their theological political theories. Part 3 is where we seek to apply our theological investigation with the phenomenon of globalization, and engage with international political theory through concentrating on the concepts of power and justice in an interdependent world. The conclusion reached in this thesis is that the doctrine of grace, by virtue of its theocentric and trinitarian emphasis on revelation, reconciliation, election, and creation, directs the Christian community in an age of globalization to be an agent of God's justice in the socio-political arena through demonstrating servant-leadership to contribute in enabling the world's poorest and weakest citizens to share in the benefits brought by a globalized world.

Full textAbstract:
In the recent years small satellites technology is growing up very fast. The use of a small sized spacecraft allows to reduce the costs of construction and launch without make particular compromise in terms of scientific objectives. Recently the small satellites have been used also as complement in a deep space mission and so new engineering challenges have born.
The purpose of this master thesis rely on a particular small satellites mission concept that would improve the gravity investigations accuracy of a target body but with a lower cost. This mission case is based on the employment of a pair
of small satellites that use the Satellite-to-Satellite Tracking technique to generates the observable quantities used for the orbit determination process and for the scientific analysis. These observables are two-way Doppler data obtained from the frequency shift of a stable microwave carrier transmitted between the two spacecrafts. Through these measurements it is possible to determine the static
and dynamic gravity field of a body. The utilization
of the SST, together with the small satellites technology, would certainly reduce the complexity and the costs, with an increment of estimation accuracy, but with the introduction of new potential engineering problems.
The targets of the proposed SST mission concept are Titan, Enceladus and Europa.
In each of these mission cases the two smallsats are placed on the same orbit, with a given angular separation.
The objectives of this thesis were focused on the analysis of the SST technique, the numerical simulation of the orbit determination of the spacecrafts and the obtainable accuracy of the moon's gravity field estimation. Following these targets different orbital geometries were studied, to identify the most promising configurations.
All the numerical evaluations have been conducted with the astro available at the Radio Science and Planetary Exploration Laboratory of the University of Bologna.

La justice, office immuable de la royauté, permit aux rois du XIIe siècle de recouvrer progressivement leur autorité à l’échelle du regnum. Louis VI, et surtout Louis VII dont le règne mérite d’être réhabilité, y travaillèrent avec pragmatisme, l’exerçant comme une mission autonome reçue lors du sacre en vue de la paix. Ils préparèrent ainsi l’éclat du règne de Philippe Auguste. En 1223, la justice royale manifeste incontestablement la supériorité du roi sur ses sujets : sa majesté. La justice du roi ne se résume pas à son office judiciaire. Elle imposait au roi de conserver à chacun son droit avant même l’émergence des conflits. La juridiction gracieuse permit aux Capétiens d’étendre leur autorité protectrice par l’octroi de chartes de confirmation, de diplômes de sauvegarde et de garanties apportées aux actes juridiques réalisés par leurs sujets. Les Capétiens s’attachèrent à protéger les plus démunis et à soulager leur détresse matérielle, mettant en œuvre une forme de justice sociale. La procédure permit d’attraire dans les juridictions royales les justiciables, confiants dans l’équité des décisions de justice. Les modes alternatifs de règlement des conflits permettaient au roi de rétablir la concorde. Ses jugements étaient tempérés par la miséricorde et la clémence, marques de son autorité. Pour autant, le roi prononçait les peines les plus rigoureuses, selon le principe de la rétribution. La justice était attendue du roi : ses sujets la désiraient ainsi que le révèlent les lettres de plaintes. En répondant à ces requêtes, les Capétiens exercèrent leur devoir, manifestèrent leur légitimité à gouverner et préparèrent le renouveau de la souveraineté royale<br>Justice, the unchanging duty of the royalship, gave to the Kings of the XII century, the ability to progressively regain their authority throughout the regnum.Louis VI, but more importantly Louis VII whose the reign should be rehabilitated, worked on it pragmatically, dealing with it like a sacred mission received during the coronation ceremony and exercised in their own way for peace. Throughout their reigns, they contributed to the splendor of the following reign of Philippe August.In 1223, royal justice was expressed clearly through the supremacy of the king over his people: his majesty. Royal justice meant more the king’s judicial function. The king had to protect right before the conflicts.The Capetians free jurisdiction extended their leadership over the kingdom, giving charters of confirmation, charters for protecting people and their juridicial acts. The Capetians were zealous in taking care of the weak, in trying hard to alleviate their plight and working for the establishment of social justice. The judicial proceedings in royal court were efficient and made the royal justice very attractive : people believed in the equity of the royal judge’s decisions.The alternative dispute resolution allowed them to restore the concord. The royal judgements showed mercy and clemency -signs of the king’s authority. However it happened he gave severe punishments based on retribution. The subjects claimed for the royal justice royal. Being concerned by their requests, the Capetians honored their royal duty and proved their ability and efficiency for governing. They infused a new political breathe which would make the royal sovereignty great again soon

Full textAbstract:
Dispersée dans la multiplicité d'ouvrages qui se nourrissent directement de sa légende et abritent son image, Jeanne d'Arc a réussi à les dépasser tous : peu importent les recherches menées sur les détails de sa vie et qui visent à ébranler l'aspect héroïque de sa mission, sa légende continue à prendre le dessus et répand l'image de la petite fille guerrière et libératrice de la France dans le monde entier. Rarement une figure aura donné lieu à autant d'interprétations différentes, à autant de débats et de récupérations de partis opposés. Symbole de la résistance à toute invasion étrangère et de l'obéissance aux ordres divins, elle n'a cessé de se prêter à d'innombrables rôles et d'exprimer les aspirations les plus contradictoires. Au XXe siècle, l'œuvre de Charles Péguy consacrée à Jeanne d'Arc est une résurrection du personnage de la Pucelle où les données historiques sont prises comme prétexte pour doubler l'acte héroïque de Jeanne d'une portée mythique qui engage le salut de l'humanité entière. À travers le mythe de Jeanne d'Arc, Péguy s'interroge sur le sort de l'humanité, sur le sens caché de l'Incarnation et sur le mystère de la Rédemption : les images se superposent, les mots doublent de sens et derrière le spectacle de la guerre se devinent, plus horribles encore, les cris sourds des âmes damnées. Avec Péguy, Jeanne dépasse son rôle d'héroïne et de sainte au service de la France et des Français, elle cherche le salut de l'humanité à travers celui de son pays. Dès lors et à travers la conception d'une vie humaine, celle de Jeanne, Péguy nous fait assister à la constitution d'un mythe à la fois personnel et universel<br>Despite the numerous books that dealt with the legend story of Joan of Arc, still she managed to overcome all the expectations. Regardless the detailed researches done to reinforce the heroic aspect of her mission, her legend continues to spread all over the world the image Joan of Arc the warrior and liberator of France. In the literature rarely a character had given rise to such so different opinions and discussions as Joan of Arc had done. A symbol of resistance against any foreign invasion and obedience to divine commands, she had continued give herself to a countless roles and to be a source of inspiration in most contradictory manner. In the twentieth century, the work of Charles Peguy is a renovation of character of Joan of Arc “The Maid of Orleans”. In his book, Peguy emphasize the heroic mythic part of Jeanne concerning the salvation of whole humanity. Throughout the legend of Joan of Arc, Peguy rise the question about the fait of humanity through the hidden sense of incarnation and the mystery of redemption : the images serve to metaphor, the wards have double meanings and behind the spectacle of war which becoming more and more horrible we can hear the cries of the cursed souls. With the writings of Peguy, Joan overcome her role as a heroine and saint to serve France and the French people, she is looking forward the salvation of the humanity throughout the salvation of her country. Hence Peguy shows us the creation of a personal and universal myth with the help of simple conception of Joan’s humane life

Full textAbstract:
Vivir la Gracia de Dios: Un compromiso social metodista permanente. Contribuciones para la identidad del metodismo peruano. La primera parte aborda la manifestación de la Gracia de Dios en la teología wesleyana, sus aspectos centrales y como ésta va delineando la identidad metodista. La segunda parte pregunta por lo que caracteriza a la identidad metodista marcada por las obras de piedad y misericordia y que siendo medios de gracia, señales exteriores, Dios nos provee de ellas para nuestra formación espiritual personal y comunitaria. Como característica también es abordado el espíritu evangelizador como respuesta al mandato dado por nuestro Señor Jesucristo de ir y predicar el Evangelio a toda criatura. La tercera parte aborda la presencia metodista en el Perú. Desde sus orígenes, en el Siglo XIX con la presencia de las Sociedad Bíblica Británica y la Americana, el envío de misioneros colportores; el primer intento de establecer la Misión Metodista con William Taylor (1877-1887); el segundo y definitivo intento por establecer la obra metodista con Francisco Penzotti (1888-1889), el trabajo realizado por el Dr. Thomas B. Wood y la organización de la Misión Metodista, su aporte en el campo jurídico y educacional; el trabajo realizado por los primeros pastores metodistas peruanos como: José Q. Illescas, Manuel Noriega y Adolfo T. Vásquez. La organización de la Obra Misionera del periodo 1904-1939, el auge y desarrollo de la obra en el periodo 1940-1969. La autonomía de la Iglesia en 1970, realizándose cambios en la estructura de la misión y llegando a la Primera Asamblea Constituyente con la elección del primer obispo peruano, el Dr. Wenceslao Bahamonde. El auge de una iglesia autónoma que aprende a caminar con pies propios pero que no siempre vive la Gracia de Dios y entra en crisis de identidad y testimonio. La última parte finaliza con las contribuciones de la Iglesia Metodista para la sociedad peruana hoy a través de la obra educativa, la obra social, el compromiso ecuménico y los desafíos que como iglesia cristiana tenemos para la transformación de la sociedad peruana. Vivir la Gracia de Dios es un compromiso social metodista permanente y la Iglesia Metodista del Perú está llamada y desafiada a transformar la sociedad peruana, a compartir esa Gracia que recibió con aquellos que viven en desgracia, con aquellos a los que se les niega la Gracia de Dios diariamente. Vivir y compartir la Gracia de Dios hoy en el Perú es una misión impostergable.<br>Living the Grace of God: A permanent Methodist social commitment. Contributions to the identity of Peruvian Methodism. The first part addresses the manifestation of Gods Grace in Wesleyan theology, its core aspects and the way Grace delineates Methodist identity. The second part deals with the question of what characterizes the Methodist identity marked by charitable deeds and works of mercy, and the way these, as means of Grace and external signs, are provided by God for our own and our communitys spiritual formation. Another characteristic that is also addressed in this part is the evangelizing spirit as a response to the mandate given by our Lord Jesus Christ to go out and preach the Gospel to all creatures. The third part addresses the Methodist presence in Peru. From its origins in the Nineteenth Century with the presence of the British and American Biblical Societies, the sending of Colporteur missionaries; the first attempt to establish the Methodist Mission with William Taylor (1877-1887); the second and final attempt to establish the Methodist work with Francisco Penzotti (1888-1889), the work done by Dr. Thomas B. Wood and the organization of the Methodist Mission, his contribution in the legal and educational fields; the work done by the first Peruvian Methodist ministers such as José Q. Illescas, Manuel Noriega and Adolfo T. Vásquez. The organization of the Missionary Work during the 1904-1939 period, the full expansion and development of the organization during the 1940-1969 period. The churchs autonomy in 1970, with the first changes in the structure of the mission up to the holding of the First Constituent Assembly with the election of the first Peruvian bishop, Dr. Wenceslao Bahamonde. The heyday of an autonomous church that learns to walk on its own but not always lives the Grace of God and goes through a crisis of identity and testimony. The last part ends with the Methodist Churchs current contribution to the Peruvian society through educational and charitable work, as well as ecumenical commitment and the challenges that we are forced to face, as Christian church, for the transformation of the Peruvian society. Living the Grace of God is a permanent Methodist social commitment and the Methodist Church of Peru is called and challenged to transform the Peruvian society, to share the Grace that it received with those who live in disgrace, those who are denied the Grace of God on a daily basis. Living and sharing the Grace of God today in Peru is a mission that cannot be put off

Full textAbstract:
This thesis brings together the two fields of missiology and Wesleyan studies, in order to develop a theology of participation in the missio Dei from the perspective of whole-life discipleship. Barth’s re-articulation of mission as an activity of God and the subsequent emergence of the missio Dei concept has shifted missiological thinking from an anthropocentric view of mission to the understanding that the church and persons are participants in the missio Dei. This thesis argues for the missio Dei to be defined as the grace of the triune God moving in, through, and with the world, that all might be drawn into the life-transforming embrace of divine love. The thesis argues that all narratives are held in tension within one grand narrative, the Bible. No person is in existence outside of this grand narrative. This is not a statement of fact but a confession of faith. The statement of fact is that the biblical grand narrative, the story of the triune God’s creation, redemption and sanctification, claims the status of being applicable to all persons and narratives. The thesis argues for defining grace as the presence, pardon, and power of God that moves in, through, and with the world. Jesus Christ is the meritorious means while the Holy Spirit is the efficacious means making possible the participation of all persons in the missio Dei. The central argument of the thesis, then, is that one participates in the missio Dei by participating in the means of grace, or the spiritual disciplines of piety and mercy. There are two original contributions. First, a Wesleyan perspective of grace and the means of grace inform the development of a theology of participation in the missio Dei that overcomes the repetitive articulations of mission as simply being human action or divine action. Second, through the means of grace, Christian disciples participate in the missio Dei as those transformed by God’s love and those through whom that love embraces and transforms the world. Twenty-first century missiology is illumined as the missio Dei concept is articulated as fully divine yet inseparable from human activity through the Wesleyan notion of co-operant grace, thereby positing the understanding that ecclesiology is informed through attention to disciplined discipleship. An implication of this argument for contemporary mission is that it is applicable for all persons, all ages, and all ecclesial expressions of the Christian church as participation in the missio Dei through the means of grace is understood to be a holistic way of life where spiritual formation is understood as inseparable from justice ministries.

Full textAbstract:
Les astéroïdes participent à la compréhension de plusieurs problèmes clés liés à la science du système solaire et à l’environnement spatial de notre planète, tels que les conditions du système solaire lors de sa formation, l’apport d’eau et de molécules organiques sur la Terre, le danger potentiel des astéroïdes proches de la Terre et leur rôle dans l’influence du climat de la Terre.Les occultations stellaires sont une occasion unique d’obtenir du sol une astrométrie astéroïde très précise, proche de la performance de Gaia, ainsi que des formes pour les astéroïdes. Lorsqu’un astéroïde cache la lumière d’une étoile, l’incertitude de sa position instantanée peut être similaire à celle de l’étoile cible. En exploitant la précision de Gaia DR2 sur les astéroïdes et les étoiles, la prédiction et l’exploitation des occultations stellaires deviennent une méthode efficace pour collecter systématiquement l’astrométrie des astéroïdes.L’amélioration des prévisions via Gaia DR2 est prouvée par des statistiques de prévisions réelles et une comparaison entre les prédictions d’occultations stellaires avec Gaia DR2 pour les astéroïdes et autres données, comme Astorb et MPCORB, afin de vérifier lesquelles correspondent le mieux aux cordes observées d’occultations passées.En même temps, les occultations d’astéroïdes peuvent offrir la possibilité de confirmer ou de découvrir des étoiles doubles, dans une gamme de petites séparations angulaires très complémentaires de la résolution accessible à Gaia elle-même. Nous présentons des statistiques et des simulations montrant l’amélioration attendue de la prédiction des occultations d’astéroïdes grâce à l’astrométrie de Gaia, en particulier en ce qui concerne les incertitudes plus petites sur le mouvement propre des étoiles cibles.Par une approche bayésienne, le Modèle d’Inférence bayésienne, nous déterminons dans l’espace des le domaine des événements détectables à partir d’un site unique. Notre étude prépare l’exploitation du télescope robotique de 0,5 m UniversCity dans le "Plateau de Calern" (sud de la France), pour lequel nous déterminons l’étendue de la taille de l’astéroïde et de la luminosité de l’étoile que nous espérons atteindre. Cette installation ne sera pas opérationnelle qu’après le fin de ce travail. Les résultats obtenus concernant la performance du système sont comparés avec le méthode utilisé avant (Moindres Carrés), avec des signaux faux positifs, pour déterminer quand ils sont plus probables, et avec des observations réelles, pour vérifier la viabilité de de nouveau méthode.Après ce travail de simulation des performances attendues d’UniversCity avec le matériel disponible, il est prévu d’appliquer ces limitations aux événements prévus et d’optimiser l’efficacité de l’utilisation du télescope. Avec cet objectif, et compte tenu de tous ces facteurs, on a fait une estimation du nombre d’événements qui peuvent être observés pendant un période d’1 année avec les catalogues actuels d’étoiles et d’astéroïdes. Pour prendre en compte les améliorations des incertitudes des astéroïdes grâce à Gaia, pour chaque événement, on a vu l’impact sur ça probabilité si l’incertitude de l’astéroïde soit 2, 5, 10 ou 20 fois plus petite, et les résultats sont compilés pour chaque régime.Nous avons aussi analysé les données de DR2 pour les 14 099 astéroïdes sur le catalogue, comment ça impacte leur incertitude du demi-axe majeur, et comment ça change les prévisions d’occultations stellaires. Ça a été fait pour 2 méthodes de pondération, ce qui est utilisé dans AstDyS et un autre développé par l’équipe de Nice. En utilisant des résidus d’observation et occultations archivées, on a vérifié si ce nouveau méthode améliore les orbites.Grâce a des collaborations avec plusieurs astronomes, 16 observations ont été faîtes pendant ce travail, avec 3 occultations positives analysées par le méthode bayésien, qui a été utilisé aussi pour des autres observations avec les données de photométrie partagés avec nous<br>Asteroids are involved in understanding several key issues in Solar System science and the space environment of our planet, such as the conditions of the Solar System during its formation, the delivery of water and organic molecules to Earth, the potential danger of NEA and their role in affecting Earth's climate.Stellar occultation events are a unique opportunity to obtain from the ground very accurate asteroid astrometry, close to the performance of Gaia, and shapes/sizes. When an asteroid hides the light of a star, the uncertainty of its instantaneous position can be similar to that of the target star. By exploiting the accuracy of Gaia DR2 on both asteroids and stars, stellar occultation prediction and exploitation becomes an effective method to systematically collect asteroid astrometry.The improvement of predictions through Gaia DR2 is proven via statistics of real predictions and comparison between stellar occultation predictions with Gaia DR2 for asteroids and other, such as Astorb and MPCORB, to verify which fit better to observed chords of past occultations.At the same time, asteroid occultations can offer the possibility to confirm or discover double stars, in a range of small angular separations very complementary to the resolution accessible to Gaia itself. We will present statistics and simulations showing the improvement expected in the prediction of asteroid occultations thanks to Gaia astrometry, in particular regarding the smaller uncertainties on the proper motion of target stars.Through a bayesian approach, the Bayesian Inference Method (BIM), we determine in the parameter space (duration; centre epoch; flux drop; star brightness) the domain of detectable events from a single site. Our study prepares the exploitation of the 0.5-m robotic telescope at "Plateau de Calern" (Southern France) UniversCity, for which we determine the range of asteroid size and star brightness that we expect to reach. This facility will start operations after this work is over. The results obtained regarding the performance were compared with the previously used method to deriving all the relevant parameters (Least Squares Fit), with false positive signals to determine when these are most likely, and with several real observations, to verify the viability of this new method.After this work simulating the expected performance of UniversCity with the available equipment, the plan is to apply these limitations to predicted events and maximize the efficiency of the telescope's use. For that end, and accounting for all these factors, a survey was made to estimate how many events would be observable with a robotic telescope in a 1-year period with the current star and asteroid catalogues. To account for improvements in the asteroid uncertainties thanks to Gaia, for each event we checked what the impact on the likelihood would be if the asteroid had an uncertainty 2, 5, 10 or 20 times smaller, and results for each regime were compiled.We also analyzed the data of the 14 099 asteroids present DR2, how this impacted the semi-major axis (a) uncertainty, and how that would translate into improvements on stellar occultation predictions. This was made for two different weighting schemes, the one used for AstDyS (Farnocchia et al.) and one developed by the team, using observation residuals and occultations from the past to verify that the new weighting scheme would bring an improvement.Thanks to the collaboration with several astronomers, 16 observations were made throughout this work, with the three positives being analyzed with the new bayesian approach, which was also used for a few other observations where the photometric data was shared

A partir de ces documents, nous avons étudié l’action apostolique, et principalement le terrain sur lequel les missionaires rencontrent les futurs convertis, là où la légitimité de leur action se confronte aux réactions des fidèles. L’activité apostolique en Orient de la branche française des Capucins qui commence durant les trentes premières années du XVIIème siècle est expliquée et resituée dans la politique générale de la mission capucine française de cette époque. Dans un autre temps nous étudions les structures d’accueil et les alliances qui se tissent sur place et qui facilitent l’établissement d’un relais. Nous étudions par la suite les méthodes d’évangélisation et les stratégies de séduction. A travers les témoignages publiés nous faisons l’analyse des armes dont les Capucins disposent : la prédication, la confession, la cathéchèse, l’éducation. Les missionnaires arrivent dans la région de la mer Egée dans un moment crucial : la récupération de l’espace par les ottomans impliquerait la récupération religieuse par le patriarcat de Constantinople. Ce qui appairait comme priorité est de récupérer un troupeau de fidèles, auquel il faut inculquer une série de comportements pour qu’il devienne orthodoxe<br>We edit Greek documents found in the Provincial Archives of the Capuchins of Paris. Thanks to these sources we studied the apostolic action, and we mainly described the land in which the legitimacy of their action was confronted to the faithful’ reactions. The apostolic action of the French Capuchins in Orient which has started during the early thirties of the 17th century, is explained here by the general politics of the French capuchin mission. More over we describe the structures of reception and the relations settled which facilitated the establishment of the mission. We also study the strategies of seduction. Through the testimonies of our documents we analyze the methods used by the Capuchin missionary: the preach, the confession, the catechism and the education. . The catholic missionaries arrive in the Aegean islands during a crucial period. The Ottoman conquest means the religious recuperation of this space by the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Their first aim is to recuperate the Christians and to teach them how to become orthodox

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail a comme objectif principal de vérifier s’il est possible de faire de la science avec les observations d’objets étendus qui seront réalisées par la mission spatiale Gaia. Cette mission, l’un des plus ambitieux projets de l’Astronomie moderne,observera plus d’un milliard d’objets dans tout le ciel avec des précisions inédites, fournissant des données astrométriques, photométriques et spectroscopiques. Naturellement, en fonction de sa priorité astrométrique, Gaia a été optimisé pour l’étude d’objets ponctuels. Néanmoins, diverses sources associées à des émissions étendues seront observées. Ces émissions peuvent avoir une origine intrinsèque, telles que les galaxies, ou extrinsèque, telles que les projections d’objets distincts sur la même ligne de visée, et présenteront probablement de solutions astrométriques moins bonnes.Pour étudier ces émissions, leurs images bidimensionnelles doivent être analysées.Néanmoins, comme Gaia ne produit pas de telles données, nous avons commencé ce travail en vérifiant si à partir de ses observations unidimensionnelles il serait possible de reconstruire des images 2D d’objets dans tout le ciel.Nous avons ainsi estimé la quantité de cas sujets à la présence d’émissions étendues extrinsèques, et nous avons présenté une méthode que nous avons développée pour analyser leurs images reconstruites. Nous avons montré que l’utilisation de cette méthode permettra d’étendre le catalogue final de façon fiable à des millions de sources ponctuelles dont beaucoup dépasseront la magnitude limite de l’instrument.D’un autre coté, dans le cas d’émissions intrinsèques, nous avons premièrement obtenu une estimation supérieure du nombre de cas que Gaia pourra observer. Nous avons alors vérifié qu’après les reconstructions d’images, les codes que nous avons développés permettront de classifier morphologiquement des millions de galaxies dans les types précoce/tardif et elliptique/spirale/irrégulière. Nous avons de plus présenté une méthode que nous avons développée pour réaliser la décomposition bulbe/disque directement à partir des observations unidimensionnelles de Gaia de façon complètement automatique.Finalement nous avons conclu qu’il est possible d’utiliser beaucoup de ces données qui pourraient être ignorées pour faire de la science. Et que le fait de les exploiter permettra aussi bien la détection de millions d’objets qui dépassent la limite de magnitude de Gaia, que de mener des études sur la morphologie de millions de galaxies dont les structures ne peuvent être révélées qu’à partir de l’espace ou au moyen d’optique adaptative, augmentant un peu plus les horizons de cette mission déjà immense<br>The main objective of this work is to determine whether it is possible to do science from the observations of extended objects that will be performed by the Gaia space mission. One of the most ambitious projects of modern Astronomy, this mission will observe more than one billion objects through out the sky, thus providing astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic data with unprecedented precision. Naturally, Gaia has been optimized for the study of point-like sources due to its astrometrical priority. Nevertheless, many sources associated with extended emission will be observed. The origins of these extended sources can be either intrinsic, such as galaxies, or extrinsic, such as projections of objects in the same line of sight. In both cases, these sources will have less than optimal astrometric solutions.In order to study those emissions, their two-dimensional images will be analyzed. Nonetheless, since Gaia will not acquire such images, we begin this work by checking whether it will be possible to reconstruct images anywhere in the sky from the satellite’s one-dimensional observations.Consequently, we, on the one hand, estimate the number of cases which will be subjected to the extrinsic extended emissions, present a method which we developed to analyze the reconstructed images by segregating the different sources and show that the adoption of this method will allow extending the catalogue reliably by millions of point sources, many of which are beyond the limiting magnitude of the instrument. On the other hand, regarding intrinsic extended emissions, we first obtain an upper limit estimate for the number of cases which Gaia will be able to observe ; then,we verify that the combination of image reconstructions and the use of the codes introduced here in will allow performing the morphological classification of millions of galaxies in early/late types and elliptical/spiral/irregular classes. Afterward,we present a method which we developed to decompose those galaxies into their bulge/disk components directly from the one-dimensional Gaia data in a completely automatic way. Finally, we conclude that it is possible to harness the data of many of the observations that might other wise be ignored to do science. Saving these data will allow the detection of millions of objects beyond Gaia’s limiting magnitude and the study of the morphology of millions of galaxies whose structures can only be probed from space or through the adoption of adaptive optics, thus somewhat expanding the horizons of this already comprehensive mission

Previous issue date: 2017-03-14<br>CAPES<br>A Região Hidrográfica Atlântico Nordeste Oriental (RHANO), localiza-se no extremo nordeste brasileiro, desde o Piauí até Alagoas, tem cerca de 286 mil km² de área, onde vivem aproximadamente 24,1 milhões de pessoas, abrangendo boa parte do semiárido brasileiro. O GRACE (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment) é uma missão em conjunto entre as agências espaciais estadunidenses e alemã, que além de obter medidas precisas das variações temporais do campo de gravidade terrestre, podem ser utilizadas para verificar a redistribuição contínua de massa e sua variação temporal em todo o planeta. A presente dissertação teve como objetivo analisar as variações de armazenamento d’água, obtidas a partir dos dados GRACE na RHANO, para o período de abril de 2002 até dezembro de 2015, intervalo este considerando o início de operação da missão. Além disso, foram efetuadas as seguintes análises: (i) a correlação das observações temporais GRACE com os relatórios da Conjuntura dos Recursos Hídricos elaborados pela Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA), (ii) quantificação da diferença de disponibilidade hídrica em dois momentos de 2015 com relação a equivalentes sazonais de 2002 e (iii) comparação de observações obtidas pela solução chamada de mascons GRACE com informações in situ do comportamento temporal de reservatórios na RHANO. Como resultados encontrados na comparação entre os períodos de novembro de 2002 e dezembro de 2015, foi encontrado perda na disponibilidade hídrica na ordem de ≅19,25 km³ (19246,11 hm³). Destacando a equiparidade entre as variações sazonais, semestrais e anuais de disponibilidade hídrica apontadas pela ANA com os dados processados e mensurados da missão GRACE. Outro resultado encontrado foi a detecção, na RHANO a partir de 2012, de um declínio nos principais reservatórios (≅60%), o que foi confirmado com as observações obtidas pelos mascons na área de estudo. Desta forma, destaca-se a importância da missão GRACE e seus produtos para corroborar com estudos hidrológicos.<br>The Oriental Northeast Atlantic Hydrographic Region (RHANO), is located in the extreme northeast of Brazil, from Piauí to Alagoas, with around 286.000 km² of area, where approximately 24.1 million people live, covering much of the Brazilian semi-arid region. The GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) is a joint mission between American and German space agencies that in addition to obtain precise measurements of the temporal variations of Earth’s gravity field can be used to check a continuous mass redistribution and it’s temporal variation throughout the planet. The present master thesis aims to analyze the variations of water storage, obtained from GRACE data in RHANO from April 2002 until December 2015, range considering the start of operation of the mission. Moreover, the following analyses were performed: (i) correlation of temporal GRACE observations with the water resources situation reports prepared by the national water agency (ANA), (ii) quantifying the difference of water availability in two moments of 2015 in relation to seasonal equivalents of 2002 and (iii) comparison of observations obtained by solution called mascons GRACE with in situ information of temporal behavior from reservoirs in RHANO. As results of a comparison between November 2002 and December 2015, it was found in the availability of water loss in the order of ≅19,25 km³ (19246,11 hm³). Highlighting the equality between the seasonal variations, semiannual and annual water availability pointed by the ANA with the GRACE mission processed data and measured. Another result found was the discovery, in the RHANO from 2012, of a decline in the main reservoirs (≅60%), which was confirmed with the observations obtained by mascons in the study area. Thus, stands out the importance of the GRACE mission and its products in support of hydrological studies.

Previous issue date: 2009<br>A presente tese de doutorado trata da aplicação do modelo geopotencial GGM02C, derivado da missão espacial GRACE (NASA/GFZ-Potsdam), na obtenção do campo gravitacional na região do Cráton São Francisco, que constitui um importante segmento litosférico da Placa Sul-Americana, constituído por terrenos arqueanos e coberturas proterozóicas e fanerozóicas, limitado por faixas de dobramentos brasilianas. Anomalias gravimétricas Ar-livre, Bouguer e ondulações do geóide foram determinadas com base no referido modelo geopotencial, possibilitando o estudo da estruturação da litosfera na região e a determinação de valores médios de espessura elástica efetiva da mesma, que constituí um importante parâmetro na inferência sobre o estado isostático da área e do estado termal da litosfera. Foi implementado um algoritmo de inversão 3D não-linear envolvendo o uso de anomalias Bouguer e ondulações do geóide, permitindo o conhecimento da geometria e da profundidade da interface crosta-manto e o limite litosfera-astenosfera. Os resultados são compatíveis com os demais obtidos a partir de estudos de função do receptor, tomografia de ondas P e de ondas S. Posteriormente, empregou-se a técnica da função admitância, utilizando as informações gravimétricas disponíveis como anomalias Ar-livre, anomalias Bouguer e ondulações do geóide, visando determinar o mecanismo responsável pelo equilíbrio isostático da região do Cráton São Francisco. Os resultados alcançados podem ser assim sumarizados: i) valores médios entre 40 e 60 km para espessura elástica efetiva na região do Cráton São Francisco, compatíveis com outros trabalhos disponíveis na literatura; ii) influência de cargas localizadas na base da litosfera, possivelmente associadas à algum processo de aquecimento e/ou diminuição de densidades e iii) a atuação expressiva de cargas localizadas na interface crosta-manto, que podem estar relacionadas aos sucessivos eventos de magmatismo que fazem parte da complexa evolução tectônica do cráton. Os resultados obtidos nas etapas anteriores aliados a análise da topografia dinâmica da área, a aplicação do conceito de convecção localizada na borda cratônica (edge-driven convection), às modelagens numéricas da interação cráton x plumas mantélicas e aos outros dados geofísicos como a anisotropia sísmica, a evolução termal do manto e ao fluxo geotérmico forneceram subsídios necessários para a elaboração de um modelo de evolução geodinâmica para o Cráton São Francisco, constituído dos seguintes estágios: i) geração da litosfera continental arqueana; ii) amalgamação e estabilização da litosfera cratônica; iii) ocorrência de eventos modificadores crustais e litosféricos; iv) orogenia proterozóica e v) interação cráton x pluma ocorrida a partir do Cretáceo. ________________________________________________________________________________________<br>ABSTRACT: The present Ph.D. Thesis deals with the application of the GGM02C geopotential model, derived from GRACE space mission (NASA/GFZ-Potsdam), to obtain the gravitational field in the São Francisco craton, which is an important lithospheric segment of the South-American plate, constituted by archean terrains and proterozoic and fanerozoic covers, and surrounded by neoproterozoic fold-thrust belts. Free-air and Bouguer gravity anomalies and geoid undulations were computed based on the GGM02C geopotential model, yielding the study of the lithospheric structure and the determination of the averaged values of the effective elastic thickness, which is a important parameter to infer isostatic and thermal states of the lithosphere. A 3D non-linear inversion algorithm involving Bouguer anomalies and geoid undulations was implemented, revealing the geometry and depth of the crust-mantle interface and lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. The results obtained were in according to other geophysical studies such as receiver function and P and S waves tomography. Afterwards, the admittance function was employed based in the the gravity information (freeair and Bouguer anomalies and geoid undulations), in order to investigate the isostatic mechanism occurring in the studied area. The results may be summarized as: i) averaged values between 40 and 60 km for the effective elastic thickness of the São Francisco craton region (in agreement with literature); ii) loads acting in the base of the lithosphere, possibly related to some heating and/or density decreasing processes and iii) significant loads located in the crust-mantle interface that may be associated with successive magmatic events, which are part of the complex tectonic evolution of the craton. The results obtained previously, together with the dynamic topography analysis, the use of the concept of the edge-driven convection, numerical simulations of the craton x mantle plumes interaction and other geophysical data (seismic anisotropy, thermal evolution of the mantle and geothermal flux) provided information to elaborate a geodynamic evolution model of the São Francisco craton, consisting of the following stages: i) generation of the archean continental lithosphere; ii) assembling and stabilization of the cratonic lithosphere; iii) occurrence of the crust and lithosphere modifiers events; iv) proterozoic orogenies and v) craton x plume interaction in the Cretaceous.

Full textAbstract:
Communicatio in sacris est l’expression par laquelle l’Église de Rome a cherché à définir et discipliner toute forme de participation d’un catholique aux célébrations liturgiques et aux sacrements d’un culte non catholique. Durant les XVIIe et XVIIIe siècle, cette pratique était particulièrement répandue dans la Méditerranée orientale – à cause de la coexistence traditionnelle entre Grecs et Latins – et dans l’Empire ottoman et ses environs, à la suite des succès des missionnaires dans la conversion des communautés chrétiennes locales. Ce travail a pour but d’utiliser les pratiques concrètes comprises sous cette étiquette comme point de départ et clé interprétative pour une réflexion plus approfondie sur le processus de construction des identités confessionnelles au Levant à l’époque moderne. En plus d’étudier le débat théorique (théologico-canonique) sur la question, notre intérêt porte principalement sur la reconstruction des différents contextes sociaux, politiques et religieux qui rendaient inévitable la communicatio. La relation entre «catholique latins» et «grec-orthodoxes» est analysée dans les cas de l’archipel égéen des Cyclades et dans les îles ioniennes soumises à la domination de Venise. Les affrontements entre les orientaux convertis au catholicisme et ceux restés fidèles à leur Église sont pris en considération en étudiant les communautés arméniennes de Constantinople et de l’Anatolie orientale. L'analyse repose sur un vaste éventail de sources, particulièrement sur un dépouillement des cas de communicatio présents dans les archives du Saint-Office et de la Propagande, aussi bien que sur la documentation produite par le réseau consulaire français<br>Communicatio in sacris is the expression employed by the Roman Church to define (and simultaneously restrict) all kind of participation of a Catholic to the liturgical celebrations and sacraments of a non-Catholic worship. During the 17th and 18th century, this practice was particularly widespread in the Eastern Mediterranean and in the Ottoman Empire, because of the traditional coexistence between Greeks and Latins but also as a result of the success of the missionaries in the conversion of Eastern Christians settled there. My work aims at using the concrete practices included under this label as a starting point and as an interpretive key for a deeper reflection on the process of confession building in the Early Modern Levant. In addition to the study of the theoretical (theological-canonical) debate on the issue, the thesis focuses mainly on the reconstruction of the different social, political and religious contexts that produced the communicatio and made it «necessary». The relationship between «Latin Catholics» and «Greek-Orthodox» is examined both for the case of the Aegean Cyclades and of the Ionian islands subject to the domination of Venice; the clashes between the Oriental Christians who converted to Catholicism and those who remained faithful to their Church are instead considered through the study of the Armenian communities of Constantinople and Eastern Anatolia. The overall analysis is based on a wide range of sources, particularly on the inventory of the cases of communicatio found in the archives of the Holy Office and of Propaganda, as well as on the documentation produced by the French consular networks

The data sample of 34.6 nb-1 integrated luminosity was collected by the CMS detector. The W boson differential cross sections, lepton-charge asymmetry and forward/backward asymmetry are computed as a function of the lepton pseudorapidity, for muons of transverse momentum higher than 25 GeV/$c$. These observables are compared to two sets of parton distributions (PDF). One of two assumes nuclear modifications (EPS09) while the other is simply a superposition of free proton PDF CT10). Some of the observables deviate from expectations based on unmodified and currently available nuclear PDF. One in particular slightly deviates from both predictions which may indicates dependence of nuclear PDF as a function of the valence quark flavor

Full textAbstract:
Cette Thèse est un travail de réélaboration et de synthèse à partir de l’expérience de l’auteur acquise lors :● de sa participation active à la récente réforme psychiatrique en Grèce (mise en place et fonctionnement d’un foyer d’hébergement pour patients asilaires et ensuite d’un centre de jour pour enfants autistes) ;● de sa réflexion clinico-théorique sur la maltraitance et les adolescents (auteurs et victimes de violence), à savoir ce que l’auteur propose d’appeler transitions violentées ;● de ses recherches étalées sur trente ans au sujet du devenir du deuil des personnes disparues à Chypre (lors de l’invasion de l’île par la Turquie en 1974) et des interférences individuelles, sociales et politiques de ce deuil impossible ;● de ses études sur les extensions du concept du travail du deuil (en tant que prototype du travail psychique dans son rapport au travail culturel), des limites et des obstacles que le deuil rencontre au sein de la culture et de la société contemporaines.Le long de ces développements l’approche pluridisciplinaire adoptée met en dialogue la Psychanalyse, l’Anthropologie et la Littérature grecque ancienne. La pluridisciplinarité permet à la fois de multiplier les approches, afin de mieux saisir les phénomènes dans leur complexité et leurs rapports avec leurs environnements, d’examiner ce qui se développent sur les interfaces, de mettre en relief nos limites conceptuelles et méthodologiques, enfin de mettre en perspective des voies de dégagement et de dépassement. (L’étude de la primauté présumée de la mère en Psychanalyse et en Anthropologie, ainsi que l’étude de la culture postmoderne comme métacadre anti-deuil, en sont l’exemple).2En multipliant les expressions des souffrances psychiques à étudier, les environnements où elles se manifestent et les perspectives de leur examen, l’auteur s’efforce de montrer que la structure et les processus psychiques du sujet singulier, d’autant plus ses souffrances, ne peuvent être suffisamment comprises et encore moins soutenues et soulagées, que si on les rapporte aux charges et aux contenus qu’ils prennent pour d’autres sujets, que si on les articule et les met en communication avec les opérations psychiques de ceux-ci, ainsi qu’avec les cadres et métacadres dans lesquels les sujets s’inscrivent, en tant que partie prenante et partie constituante d’un ensemble transsubjectif.Des hypothèses sur les processus, les fonctions et les contenus intersubjectifs de transfert, de charge, de transit, d’encadrement transsubjectif, de reprise et de resymbolisation sont au premier plan de ce travail<br>This Thesis is the reworking and re-composition of a study based on the experience acquired by the author from the following:• his active participation in the recent psychiatric reform in Greece (establishment and functioning of a shelter for asylum-seeker patients and later a daycentre for autistic children);• his clinical theory reflections on maltreatment and adolescents (offenders and victims of violence), what the author proposes to call violated transitions.• this research stretching over thirty years on the topic the continuing mourning of the missing persons in Cyprus (on account of the invasion of the island by Turkey in 1974) and the individual, social and political interferences with this impossible mourning;• his studies on the extension of the concept of the work of mourning (as a prototype of the psychic work in his report on the cultural work), the limits and obstacles that the mourning encounters in the context of culture and contemporary society.In the course of these developments, the adopted pluridisciplinary approach gives rise to a dialogue involving the Psychoanalysis, Anthropology and Literature of ancient Greece. Pluridisciplinarity allows, at the same time, the multiplication of approaches, in order to better seize of the phenomena in their complexity and relation to their environments, examine that which is developing on the interfaces, bring out in relief our conceptual and methodological limitations, in order to place into perspective the ways of disengagement and overtaking. (The study on the presumed primacy of the mother in Psychoanalysis and Anthropology, as well as the study on postmodern culture as an anti-mournful meta-frame, are examples of this).4In multiplying the expressions of psychic suffering that have to be studied, the environments where they manifest themselves and the perspectives of their examination, the author is forced to show that the structure and the psychic processes of the individual subject, especially their sufferings, cannot be sufficiently understood and even less so sustained and alleviated, whether one relates them to the loads and contents they take for other subjects, or one articulates and places them in communication with other psychic functions of the latter, also with the frames and meta-frames in which the subjects fall, in their capacity as accepting party and constituent party of a trans-subjective unit.Hypotheses on the inter-subjective processes, functions and contents of transfer, load, transit, trans-subjective framing, recovery and re-symbolization are at the forefront of this work

Full textAbstract:
The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission is a breakthrough Earth science mission launched in the spring of 2002 that uses satellite-to-satellite tracking (SST) to map the Earth gravity field. In this framework, the non-uniform gravity distribution is inferred using the range change experienced between two satellites. The range change is measured using a microwave K-band ranging system, and non-gravitational forces are accounted for using accelerometer (ACC) data. The vector-offset between the satellite center of mass (CM) and the K-band phase center represents the correction between measured and modeled ranging data. In addition, the offset between the satellite CM and the ACC proof-mass multiplies the attitude angles, rates, and jitter which in turn add spurious signals to the ACC output. For both of these reasons, proper knowledge and control of attitude behavior is vital to successful mission performance. An examination of the GRACE attitude control system (ACS) is presented in this study.
The GRACE ACS system is composed of a PD control law, star camera sensing as the knowledge source, cold-gas thrusters as primary actuators, and magnetic torque rods as supplementary actuators. The dependencies inherent in the ACS are inferred using a sensitivity analysis performed on a simulation model of the GRACE science mode ACS. The results from this sensitivity study are applicable to the general controller class of which the GRACE ACS system is an exemplar.
In this study, the modeled attitude data quality is most sensitive to star camera measurement noise. It is hypothesized that this is because star cameras are used as the sole knowledge source in the ACS scheme. In contrast, the experimental results associated with magnetometer, thruster, and magnetic torque rod perturbations did not significantly affect attitude quality. However, these perturbations do cause thruster activity to significantly magnify. This results in higher attitude acceleration PSD for the frequency band in which time-variable gravity components are captured. A number of future experiments can be performed to improve both attitude quality performance and frequency-based magnifications. Examples include sensor fusion studies, reaction wheel versus thruster assessment, and gravity field estimation sensitivity in response to attitude quality degradation.<br>text

碩士<br>基督教台灣浸會神學院<br>基督教神學研究所<br>104<br>Taichung Grace Church (T.G.C.) is the first Evangelize China Fellowship (E.C.F.) church in Taiwan, it was established in 1949 by pastor Shen, Pao-Lo who was a missionary sent by E.C.F. the founder of pastor Andrew Gih. Now, after more than six decades, Taichung Grace Church still keeps the original spirit of equipping the saints and continuously builds branch churches to fulfill the Great Commission.
In 1989, T.G.C. had changed their service style and started to use praise and worship pattern, and congregation started to increase simultaneously. In 1992, T.G.C. was almost forced to be demolished, but at last only pastor’s dormitory and walls were knocked down, the main worship hall had remained. Finally, this crisis became a chance for T.G.C. to be transformed into a wall-less church. In 1993, T.G.C. transformed again, and accepted pastor Lawrence Kuang’s cell group system. The amount of congregation had a great growth, and main worship hall held max to saturation of six Sunday services. So the senior pastor sent other ministry pastors to build branch churches throughout Taichung City, then they became a distinct system. After that, T.G.C. joined Cell Church Missions Network (C.C.M.N) of Hong Kong, its vision of world evangelization was greatly revealed, and then T.G.C. started to plan overseas missionary works.
This research focuses on the T.G.C. ministry system, by studying their history, mission and the advance of vision transmission, to observe their mission strategy. Then interviews the current senior pastor Tu, Ming-Ta, chief of mission department pastor Yang, Chung-Sheng, missionaries and administrative staffs to understand the evangelical visions, strategies and latest situation, and to find out the obstacles and opportunities for the future missionary works. This research will also present the respondents’ suggestions to missionaries, pastors and churches that have the same aspiration of long term evangelical ministries.
