Osman, Shafick. "La géopolitique de la République de Maurice." Thesis, Paris 4, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA040240.
Full textAbstract:
Il s’agit d’une « photographie » géopolitique de la République de Maurice avec deux axes très précis : la géopolitique interne et la géopolitique externe du pays. L’analyse est faite à partir de faits essentiellement rapportés dans la presse mauricienne, si riche en diversité et commentaires. Puisant dans la profondeur historique pour essayer d’expliquer le présent, c’est le premier travail d’analyse et de réflexion sur la géopolitique de la jeune république mauricienne. La complexité des rapports entre les différents territoires (Rodrigues et Agaléga) avec l’île Maurice est expliquée, de même que les relations et positions d’ambiguïté avec la Grande-Bretagne (et les Etats-Unis) et la France sur les « contentieux » au sujet de l’archipel des Chagos et de Tromelin respectivement. Les rapports tendus entre les différentes communautés présentes à Maurice sont exposés, de même que la problématique de conversion de terres, souvent agricoles, en résidences de luxe pour étrangers fortunés et projets immobiliers d’envergure. La politique étrangère « neutre », propre à Maurice, est aussi examinée dans le cadre de sa géopolitique externe, de même que sa multiple appartenance aux organismes régionaux indianocéaniques et africains. De par sa « réussite économique » connue de l’étranger, Maurice ambitionne de devenir le centre de toutes choses dans la région et elle se propose d’être la passerelle financière entre l’Afrique et l’Asie. Ayant des liens « ombilicaux » avec l’Inde, Maurice est restée cependant pro-occidentale avec une nette poussée de la francophonie et un déclin de l’influence britannique. Africaine politiquement, Maurice s’oriente économiquement vers l’AsieThe work is a ‘snapshot’ of the geopolitics of the Republic of Mauritius with a two-pronged approach: The Internal Geopolitics and the External Geopolitics of the country. The analysis made is from facts mainly reported in the Mauritian press, so rich in diversity and comments. Going down the historical depth to try to explain the present, it is the first work of analysis and reflection on the geopolitics of the young Mauritian republic.The complexity of the relationships between the different territories (Rodrigues and Agalega) with Mauritius Island is explained, as well as the relationships and ambiguous positions with Great Britain (and the United States) and France on the issues of the Chagos Archipelago and Tromelin respectively. The tense relationships between the different communities present in Mauritius are exposed, as well as the controversial issue of land conversion -often agricultural land- to luxury residences for wealthy foreigners and ambitious real estate projects. The ‘neutral’ foreign policy of Mauritius, so unique, is also examined in the context of its External Geopolitics, as well as its multiple belongings to regional organisations in the Indian Ocean and in Africa. Known abroad for its ‘economic success’, Mauritius aspires to become the regional hub of all possible things and it has positioned itself to be the financial gateway between Africa and Asia. Having ‘umbilical’ links with India, Mauritius has remained however pro-western with an impressive Francophone boost and a decline of the British influence. Politically African, Mauritius is now economically oriented towards Asia

Ramasawmy, Sajeda. "Validation of the "French Depression Anxiety Stress Scales" (DASS-21) and predictors of depression in an adolescent Mauritian population." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015AIXM3001.
Full textAbstract:
La détresse émotionnelle est souvent précurseur au développement des troubles psychologiques. La psychopathologie la plus fréquente dans le monde est la dépression et il a été estimé que d'ici quelques années, son impact économique sera supérieur à celle des maladies courantes telles que les maladies infectieuses et cardio-vasculaires. Des études ont démontré que le niveau de stress et d'anxiété sont des facteurs qui contribuent de façon significative au développement de la dépression et ce dès l'adolescence. L'objectif de cette thèse a été donc d'étudier les propriétés psychométriques de la version française de l'échelle Depression Anxiety Stress (DASS-21; Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) pour son utilisation éventuelle à l'Île Maurice auprès des adolescents. L'étude de la validité de l'instrument comporte l'exploration de la validité de construit par le biais de la validité factorielle, l'étude de la cohérence interne et enfin par une analyse des validités convergente et divergente. La validité de construit de la DASS-21 a été renforcée puisque le fonctionnement différentiel des items en fonction du genre n'a pas été démontré. Enfin, il s'est avéré que le principal facteur de risque pour la survenue de la dépression chez les sujets mauriciens est le stress perçu (perception subjective de l'événement qualifié de stressant)Depression is among the most common psychopathology for which treatment is sought in psychological and psychiatric practices and its impact at all levels including its economical outlay in the coming years has been estimated on a worldwide scale to surpass that of current illnesses such as infectious diseases and cardiovascular illnesses. Research has demonstrated that stress and anxiety levels, as early as in adolescence, are among factors that contribute to the development of depression. The aim of this research study is therefore to investigate the psychometric properties of the French Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21; Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) for its eventual use in the Mauritian adolescent population as a means to screen for depression, anxiety, and stress. Factor analyses were conducted on 1002 response sets and the three-factor structure of the DASS-21 was supported. Internal consistency was satisfactory and the scales demonstrated concurrent validity with other measures of depression, anxiety and stress. The construct validity of the scales was further strengthened with gender invariance. Finally, appraisal of stress was the psychological dimension which predicted best depression in the Mauritian adolescent population

Full textAbstract:
Le Patrimoine Mondial, appartient-il à vraiment à l'humanité, à tout le monde ? À cette question, les enjeux de la territorialisation et de l'appropriation d'un espace patrimonialisé ont été étudiés afin de mettre en lumière les rapports de force et les inégalités sociales produites tels qu'ils se donnent à voir dans la dimension spatiale. Pour cela, l'île Maurice a constitué le terrain d'étude car malgré sa petite taille, la mise en mémoire des espaces et des identités y font toujours débat. L'analyse des représentations ainsi que les pratiques d'appropriation et de territorialisation de deux espaces reconnus sur la prestigieuse liste du Patrimoine Mondial produisent des décalages multi-scalaires et ainsi, des mouvements d'appropriation ainsi que de désappropriation. Se jouent dans ces espaces, la légitimation et la hiérarchisation de différentes composantes de la société mauricienneO World Heritage sites really belong ta humanity, to everyone? Ta this question, the issues of territorialisation and appropriation of a heritage site have been studied in order ta highlight the balance of power and social inequalities produced as they appear in the spatial dimension. Mauritius has been the focus of this study because despite its small size, the memory of its population and their identities are still being debated. The analysis of the representations as well as the practices of appropriation and territorialisation of its two World Heritage Sites produce multi-scalar offsets and thus, movements of appropriation as well as of dis-appropriation. Thus, are played in these spaces, the legitimization and the hierarchy of different components of the Mauritian society

Salle-Essoo, Maya de. "Le profane et le sacré dans les tradipratiques à l’île Maurice." Thesis, La Réunion, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LARE0010/document.
Full textAbstract:
Dans cette thèse nous avons abordé les tradipratiques à l'île Maurice et nous avons tenté de délimiter une zone d'interculturalité où se situent ces tradipratiques, partagées par les différentes communautés religieuses et ethnoculturelles de l'île et s'insérant dans un fonds commun mauricien. Ainsi, nous avons constaté qu'il existe une conception commune de la maladie, du corps, des Invisibles et des traitements qui font partie de cette zone interculturelle, issue du contact de cultures et de la créolisation. Nous avons ainsi été amenée à envisager l'imbrication du sacré et du profane au sein des tradipratiques et fait le constat que ces deux facettes sont indissociables et nécessaires à l'efficacité des traitements. Nous avons également envisagé les rituels de soins sous leur aspect identitaire, mettant en évidence le rôle central joué par les ancêtres dans les traitements, la transmission transgénérationnelle du don de guérison et de voyance, mais également comme agents à l'origine de certains syndromes. Ce qui nous amène à souligner l'aspect identitaire des rituels de soins venant répondre à la nécessité de réaffirmer les liens aux ancêtres, la filiation du patient et celle de sa famille, l'insérant dans un groupe et renforçant ainsi son identitéIn this PhD thesis, the traditional medicinal practices were considered within the context of Mauritius Island and we have attempted to delimitate an area of interculturality where traditional medicinal practices are taking place and are shared by the different religious and ethnocultural communities of the island and are inserted in a common Mauritian ground. Thus, we have discovered that there is a common conception of the disease, the body, the invisibles, treatments, making part of this intercultural zone and resulting from the contact with cultures and creolization. We have thus considered the interweaving of the sacred and the secular within the traditional practices and made the statement that these two aspects were inseparable and necessary for the efficiency of treatments. We have also considered the healing rituals from the angle of identity while revealing the central role played by the ancestors in these treatments, in the inter-generational transmission of the gift of healing and clairvoyance but also as agents causing specific syndromes. This leads us to stress out the necessity to reaffirm the links toward the ancestors, the filiation of the patient and his family, inserting him in a group and therefore reinforcing his identity

Carta, Nirmala. "La construction identitaire des adolescents à l'épreuve du communalisme à l'Ile Maurice." Thesis, La Réunion, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010LARE0013.
Full textAbstract:
La construction identitaire de l’adolescent est influencée par le contexte dans lequel il vit ; dans le cas de l’Ile Maurice, ce contexte est caractérisé par la présence officielle d’une catégorisation communautaire. Celle-ci amène les mauriciens à devoir se désigner comme membres de l’une des quatre communautés prescrites, ce qui devient problématique dans la construction identitaire, particulièrement pour les adolescents car ils sont dans une période déterminante dans leur développement. Nous avons voulu mesurer le degré d’influence du contexte multiculturel sur leur construction identitaire. Notre méthodologie nous a permis de constater la présence du communalisme dès le pré-test, et elle a été confirmée autant dans l’étude quantitative que qualitative. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence qu’un communalisme exacerbé conduit à une forte identité sociale, et ceci, au détriment de l’identité personnelle. En effet, nos résultats indiquent que l’existence des communautés contribue à faire que les sujets préfèrent leur groupe d’appartenance et ont des stéréotypes négatifs à l’égard des autres communautés. De plus, nous avons trouvé que l’appartenance communautaire est liée à l’identité sociale, composée essentiellement de l’appartenance religieuse, l’apparence physique et la classe sociale. D’autre part, nous avons constaté chez nos sujets une opposition entre un vécu interculturel interne et une identité sociale prescrite. Nous concluons à une remise en cause de l’existence officielle des communautés à Maurice, basée sur les résultats de notre recherche et nous proposons plus d’ouverture vers une éducation interculturelle et vers une valorisation de l’identité personnelleThe identity construction of the adolescent is influenced by his living context; in the case of Mauritius, this context is caracterised by the official presence of categorization of communities. This presence induces mauritians to have the obligation to identify themselves to one of the four prescribed communities, which leads to a problematic identity construction, particularly for adolescents as they are in a developmental period which is determinant. As from the study of mauritians reaching the end of adolescents, we have measured the degree of influence of the multicultural context on the identity construction. Our methodology has allowed us to notice the presence of communalism as from the stage of pretest and it has been confirmed in the quantitative as well as the qualitative analysis. We have been able to prove that an overreacted communalism leads to a high social identity, leading in counterpart to less importance regarding the personal part of identity. In fact, our results indicate that the existence of communities contributes in making our participants prefer the community to which they belong and they have negative stereotypes towards other communities. In addition to this, we have found that belonging to a community is directly linked to social identity, which is essentially comprised of religious belonging, physical appearance and social class. Furthermore, we have noticed that our participants have an intercultural inner living which is opposed to the prescribed social identity. We arrive to the conclusion that the official existence of communities in Mauritius should be reviewed, based on the results of our research and we propose more implications in intercultural education and towards the promotion of personal identity

Forest, Corinne. "Le rôle du patrimoine dans la construction nationale à l'île Maurice." Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PSLEH149.
Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de thèse étudie la patrimonialisation dans le contexte mauricien afin d’examiner les enjeux liés à la constitution de l’identité nationale dans un cadre institutionnel qui privilégie une logique communautaire. Le cadre mauricien voit différents groupes coexister et interagir dans la tolérance, le respect et la paix tout en distinguant diverses unités sociales en fonction de leurs origines géographiques, culturelles, religieuses et ethniques. L’Etat met en œuvre une politique culturelle basée sur la reconnaissance officielle des unités culturelles dont l’union formerait la représentation nationale mauricienne. Au sein de cette diversité, le patrimoine est devenu un instrument de marquage de la différence et un moyen de symboliser la contribution de chacun à la fondation de la nation arc-en-ciel dans l’espace national. Dans ce cadre mémoriel fragmenté, notre approche est d’examiner l’émergence et la constitution du patrimoine à l’île Maurice de l’époque coloniale (1721-1968) à l’époque contemporaine afin d’en étudier les processus de reconnaissance et les usages comme instrument de la construction nationale. En cela, mon travail considère que l’étude de la patrimonialisation constitue un champ d’investigation sur la manière dont le passé est utilisé dans le présent pour légitimer et positionner les identités. Dans cette perspective, cette étude considère que le patrimoine est un instrument qui nourrit l’adhésion collective nécessaire à l’établissement d’une entité nationaleThis PhD thesis focuses on the heritage processes in the Mauritian context in order to examine the issues related to nation- building resulting from an institutional framework that recognizes communal identities. The Mauritian context comprises diverse groups coexisting and interacting in tolerance, respect and peace while distinguishing multiple communities based on their geographical, cultural, religious and ethnic origins. The state developed a cultural policy that officially recognizes the diverse cultural entities and considers that their combination would form the Mauritian national identity. Within this diversity, heritage is used to mark cultural differences and the contribution of each group to the foundation of the rainbow nation in the national space. In this fragmented memorial framework, our approach is to examine the emergence and the constitution of heritage in Mauritius from the colonial period (1721-1968) to nowadays in order to study the processes of recognition and the uses of heritage as an instrument for nation building. This study considers that heritage processes constitute a field of investigation on the way the past is used in the present to legitimate and position identities. In this perspective, this study considers that heritage is an instrument that supports collective adhesion required for the establishment of the national identity

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de recherche vise à utiliser la sociologie néo-institutionnelle et ses concepts clés tels que les logiques institutionnelles et le travail institutionnel pour analyser comment les acteurs agissent sur les institutions au niveau d'une filière agricole. Nous avons choisi de vérifier l'applicabilité de notre cadre théorique dans un contexte empirique subissant un changement institutionnel, la filière légumes mauricienne. Pour valider le cadre théorique choisi, nous avons tout d'abord mené un terrain exploratoire. A travers une analyse thématique des enquêtes, nous avons identifié les logiques institutionnelles qui orientent les actions de nos principaux acteurs dans la filière légumes mauricienne, et les types et formes de travail institutionnel entreprit par les acteurs en place et nouveaux de la filière légumes. Cette thèse permet de conclure que l'étude du travail institutionnel dans une dynamique de filière agricole a toute son importance car l'approche sociologique permet aux chercheurs de mieux appréhender le comportement des acteurs de la filière.Mots clés : sociologie néo-institutionnelle, logique institutionnelle, travail institutionnelle, filière agricole, analyse de contenu thématique, analyse qualitative comparéeThis research work aimed at using sociological neo institutionalism and its key concepts, institutional logics, and institutional work to understand the work undertaken by actors in an agricultural value chain. We have chosen the Mauritian vegetable value chain, in the context of an institutional change, as a field of study to apply the theoretical concepts. An exploratory study was carried out to validate the theoretical framework selected. Thematic content analysis allowed us to identify the institutional logics of the vegetable value chain as well as the different types and forms of institutional work undertaken by the incumbent and new actors. This research work allows us to conclude that the use of the concept of institutional work to understand the dynamics of an agricultural value chain is important as the sociological lens enables researchers to better understand actors' behavior in a value chain.Key words: sociological neo institutionalism, institutional logics, and institutional, agricultural value chain, thematic analysis, qualitative comparative analysis

Chadee, Bibi Zareen. "Les entités offshore et leur encadrement : le cas de l'île Maurice." Thesis, Paris 5, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA05D002.
Full textAbstract:
Le terme offshore est communément utilisé pour désigner la mise en place d'une entité juridique dans un pays où celle-ci n'exerce aucune activité. Par cette implantation, cette entité pourra bénéficier de certains avantages fiscaux. Or ce mécanisme d'optimisation fiscale peut être contourné de manière illégale. De nombreuses juridictions offshore ont alors été pointées du doigt pour leur manque de transparence et jugées responsables de l'évasion fiscale. Parmi ces centres financiers offshore, Maurice se distingue des autres places financières dans la mesure où elle s'attache à respecter les normes internationales tout en continuant de développer son secteur offshore. Ainsi, l'intérêt de cette thèse est de présenter les caractéristiques de chaque entité offshore et leur fonctionnement afin de comprendre comment elles peuvent être détournées de leur objet initial. Cette présentation passe dans un premier temps par l’analyse des entités offshore et leur exploitation puis dans un second temps leur régulation. On constate alors que la juridiction mauricienne est injustement qualifiée de paradis fiscal et encourent les mêmes risques que les plus grandes places offshore. Maurice a su ainsi concilier ses intérêts en trouvant un équilibre entre l’exploitation économique de son secteur offshore et l’application rigoureuse des normes internationalesThe term offshore is commonly used to refer to the establishment of a legal entity in a country where it has no business.For this implementation, this entity can entain certain tax benefits. But this tax optimization mechanism can be bypassed illegally. Many offshore jurisdictions were then blamed for their lack of transparency and held for tax evasion. Among these offshore financial centers, Mauritius differs from other financial markets as it strives to meet international standards while continuing to develop its offshore sector. Thus, the interest of this thesis is to present the characteristics of each offshore entity and its operations in order to understand how they can be diverted from their original purpose. This presentation is an analysis of each offshore entities, their operations and their regulation. We can found that the Mauritian juridiction is unfairly labeled as tax havens and face the same risks as the largest offshore places. Mauritius has thus reconcile its interests by finding a balance between the economic exploitation of its offshore sector and the strict application of international standards

Full textAbstract:
À l’île Maurice, plus d’une personne sur cinq est touchée par le diabète, d’où l’enjeu important que représente le développement de l’éducation à la santé en population. Les travaux scientifiques menés à l’international soulignent en effet la pertinence d’un travail sur l’accès et la compréhension des informations en santé, avec des prises de décision contextualisées. Menées dans de nombreux pays, les recherches sur la littératie en santé montrent aussi la contribution des actions éducatives à la réduction des maladies non-transmissibles, en particulier dans le domaine du diabète de type 2. Inscrite dans les Sciences de l’éducation et de la formation, notre recherche doctorale interroge les conditions du développement de la littératie en santé auprès d’étudiants de l’Université, à Maurice. Les atouts et les limites sont analysés en lien avec des interventions éducatives proposées à 48 étudiants en Informatique. À travers un processus de Recherche-Intervention qui met en jeu les « nids d’apprentissage », nous interrogeons les conditions d’un travail sur les dimensions biomédicales et psychosociales de la santé qui prend en compte les apports du socioconstructivisme et de l’«empowerment » en contexte. Sur le plan méthodologique, nous croisons des données quantitatives recueillies à partir de 234 questionnaires multidimensionnels HLQ (Health Literacy Questionnaire) avec des données qualitatives (observations, entretiens), ce qui permet d’analyser les savoirs travaillés lors des interventions éducatives et leurs possibles appropriations par les étudiants. Les résultats soulignent le faible niveau général des étudiants mauriciens en littératie en santé. Ils montrent aussi comment des interventions éducatives pourraient permettre de développer, à Maurice, l’accès et compréhension de l’information en santé ainsi que la prise de décisions en faveur d’une prévention des pathologies chroniques. Ils soulignent enfin les atouts et les limites des méthodologies mixtes, notamment dans les recherches en littératie en santé, en plein essor actuellementIn Mauritius, one fifth of the population suffers from diabetes, whereby the importance of health education for the Mauritian population. The scientific research works undertaken internationally showed evidences of the importance to access and understand health information and contextualised decisions. Research works on health literacy undertaken in several countries have shown the contribution of educational actions to reduce the prevalence of non-communicable diseases, more specifically, in the field of diabetes type 2. In our doctoral research which is in the field of educational science and training, we are questioning the conditions underlying the development of health literacy among students enrolled at University in Mauritius. The strengths and weaknesses are analysed in relation to the educational interventions proposed to a total of 48 students in the Information and Technology field. Through an Intervention-Research process which deploys the “Learning nests”, we are questioning the work underlying the biomedical and psychosocial dimensions of health which takes into account the benefits of socio-constructivism and empowerment in particular context. In terms of methodology, we tried to confront quantitative data collected from 234 multi-dimensional questionnaire HLQ (Health Literacy Questionnaire) with qualitative data (observations, interviews), which enable analysis of knowledge worked out throughout the educational interventions and their possible acquisition by students. The results show in general a low level of health literacy of the students. They also show how the educational interventions could allow for the development, in Mauritius, access to and understanding information related to health as well as decisions in favour of prevention of chronic diseases. They finally highlight the strengths and weaknesses of mixed methodologies, pertaining to research in health literacy, which is presently evolving

Full textAbstract:
L’Ile Maurice est une société complexe où se côtoient un grand nombre de langues : l’anglais et le français, langues administratives, sont apprises dès la première année du cycle primaire tandis que le kreol mauricien (KM), L1 de plus de 85% de la population, n’y joue aucun rôle à ce jour. C’est dans ce contexte que nous avons choisi d’analyser des productions orales en français et en KM d’enfants de deux groupes d’âge (6-7 ans et 8-9 ans), nos enquêtes ayant été faites dans des zones géographiques présentant des contextes socioculturels et linguistiques différents. Notre corpus est ainsi constitué d’environ 200 récits dans ces deux langues, obtenus à partir de la planche connue comme “Les oisillons”. Nous proposons ainsi une analyse détaillée des moyens mis en œuvre dans la référence aux entités, y compris des constructions possessives. Ceci nous mènera à constater avant tout qu’il existe une grande variabilité dans les productions, autant entre les langues que les zones géographiques. Nous remarquerons que l’acquisition du français est plus aboutie en zone urbaine que rurale tandis que le constat inverse s’appliquera au KM. Cette analyse mettra à jour deux conceptualisations de la tâche à accomplir (description et récit) qui montreront des degrés de variation concernant l’acquisition du genre et du nombre, ainsi que de l’utilisation du démonstratif, des pronoms, des noms nus, des possessifs et des compléments du nom. L’acquisition du français se révèlera alors tributaire d’un manque d’exposition à cette langue, de même qu’à l’influence du KM et de la variété locale de françaisMauritius is a complex society where a wide range of languages are in compétition : whereas English and French, the administrative languages, are learnt from the first year of primary education, Mauritian Kreol (MK), the L1 of almost 85% of the population, has no part whatsoever to play in the system. Our analysis is focused on oral productions in French and MK from children of two age-groups (6-7 and 8-9 years old), coming from different sociocultural and linguistic backgrounds. 200 oral productions constitute our data, both in French and MK, collected from the task of retelling a story from drawings, known as « Les oisillons ». We have produced a detailed analysis of the means used by these children in the reference to entities including possessive structures. This has brought us to acknowledge that there is a huge variability in the productions, between the two languages as well as between the geographical zones. We have noticed that children in urban context reach a higher level of acquisition in French than those living in rural areas, whereas it is exactly the opposite when it comes to MK. This analysis also shows two conceptualisations of the tasks (description and narrative), which bring to light a high degree of variability as regards to the acquisition of gender and number, as well as that of demonstratives, pronouns, bare names, possessive determiners and constructions. The acquisition of French then appears as highly influenced by a lack of exposure to that language, as well as the influence of MK and the local variety of French

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse étudiera la franc-maçonnerie de traditions européennes qui se transforma au cœur des périodes colonisatrices française et britannique de 1778 à 1915. Les loges du Grand Orient de France qui s’implantèrent, sous la colonisation française de l’Isle de France, à la fin du XVIIIe siècle furent des pionnières de la maçonnerie dans un pays qui vécut, simultanément, une nouvelle période de colonisation britannique, à partir de 1810, et des changements drastiques aux niveaux démographique, socio-économique, ethnique et politique. Le fait maçonnique ne put que changer intrinsèquement dans le contexte insulaire multiculturel alors que la colonie, n’ayant pas de peuples autochtones, devint le terreau d’une multitude de traditions européennes, africaines et asiatiques. La maçonnerie locale acquit, grâce aux échanges entre les loges françaises et les nouvelles obédiences qui s’implantèrent (la Grande Loge Unie d’Angleterre, la Grande Loge d’Ecosse, la Grande Loge d’Irlande et le Suprême Conseil de France), une identité insulaire et mauricienne. Cette thèse montrera comment l’institution maçonnique mit en exergue la possibilité de construire une cohésion et un espace de partage à certains moments-clés de l’histoire du pays. Cependant, les loges françaises et britanniques eurent à faire face aux grands défis socio-politiques, économiques et religieux du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle. En effet, les maçons furent aussi en proie aux divisions et conflits liés au multiculturalisme et à la pluriethnicité de la société coloniale. Cette thèse démontrera, en l’occurrence, comment la franc-maçonnerie de plusieurs obédiences développa des fonctionnements et des traditions influencés par le contexte et put maintenir un œcuménisme malgré les difficultés. Pourtant, la fin du XXe siècle entraîna les loges dans des divergences religieuses, idéologiques et institutionnelles et certains éléments, qui firent du laboratoire maçonnique mauricien un exemple des valeurs universelles et de la fraternité internationale, devinrent les sources mêmes de divisionsThis thesis will study freemasonry coming from European cultures which was transformed in the midst of French and British colonising periods from 1778 to 1915. The Grand Orient de France lodges, which settled under the French colonising regime of Isle de France at the end of the 18th century, introduced freemasonry in a country which underwent, simultaneously, a new British colonising era, as from 1810, and deep changes on the demographic, socio-economic, ethnic and political levels. Freemasonry could not but profoundly change in this insular multicultural context as the colony, which did not have any indigenous population, became the melting pot of various European, African and Asian traditions. Local freemasonry acquired, owing to the relations of the French lodges with the different lodges which were created (of the United Grand Lodge of England, the Grand Lodge of Scotland, the Grand Lodge of Ireland and the Suprême Conseil de France), an insular and Mauritian identity. This thesis will show how the Craft enabled cohesion and provided a place for sharing at some milestones in the history of the country. However, the French and British lodges had to face the grand socio-political, economic and religious challenges of the 19th century. In fact, the freemasons had also to experience the divisions and conflicts induced by the multicultural and multi-ethnic colonial society. Therefore, this thesis will to show how freemasonry from different grand lodges developed practices and traditions influenced by the context and were able to uphold ecumenism in spite of the obstacles. However, the lodges got caught into religious, ideological and institutional conflicts at the end of the 19th century and some components, which made of the Mauritian masonic laboratory an example of universal values and international fraternalism, eroded

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail porte sur la variabilité de quelques marqueurs discursifs (désormais MD) chez des jeunes Mauriciens plurilingues, âgés de 16 à 19 ans. Ayant à leur disposition le créole mauricien et le français, langues proches entre lesquelles les frontières sont floues, ces jeunes présentent souvent des pratiques interlectales qui confirment l'hypothèse d'une décrispation de la diglossie. Les MD, particulièrement saillants dans les phénomènes de contacts de langues, ont été choisis comme entrée pour tenter de trouver une cohérence dans l'hétérogénéité rencontrée. L'objectif est d'analyser ici le rôle de l'alternance de formes a priori « plus françaises » et « plus créoles » de 4 ensembles de MD dans la socialisation de ces jeunes. Le corpus est constitué d'environ 6h de conversations, auto-enregistrées par 9 jeunes, en 2014. Les données sont complétées par des confrontations à des passages sélectionnés servant à recueillir les ressentis des locuteurs sur leurs usages, ainsi que par divers entretiens et observations, réalisés notamment lors d'un terrain exploratoire en 2013. Ne prenant sens qu'en contexte, les MD mettent en évidence les rapports entre les interlocuteurs, entre le locuteur et son discours et indiquent l'articulation entre différentes parties du discours. Ils marquent divers mouvements à travers lesquels les interactants se construisent un espace multidimensionnel fournissant un cadre d'interprétation de leurs usages. Les MD apparaissent alors comme des outils essentiels dans l'interprétation de la construction du sens, à la fois linguistique et social, à l’œuvre dans la dynamique de l'interaction. Leurs alternances renforcent leur rôle en tant qu'indices de contextualisation. Cette thèse se situe ainsi dans une approche sociolinguistique interactionnelle, suivant le courant ethnométhodologique, qui refuse de se baser sur des catégories sociales ou langagières prédéterminées et montre comment la variation sociolinguistique s'élabore à travers la dynamique interactionnelleThis dissertation is about the variability of discourse markers (DM) among young plurilingual Mauritians, aged 16 to 19. In a specific context of two related languages with fuzzy boundaries (French and Mauritian Creole), the interlectal practices of the young speakers confirm the hypothesis of a loosened diglossic situation. The alternation of DM, particularly salient in language contact phenomena, have been chosen in order to find coherence in the heterogeneous situation. The aim is to study the role of the alternation of "more French" and "more Creole" forms of 4 groups of DM in these young Mauritians' socialisation process. The corpus is constituted of 6 hours of conversational interactions, self-recorded by 9 young Mauritians in 2014. The data also contains confrontations to selected parts of the conversations, aiming to collect the speakers' perceptions of their uses, besides interviews and observations gathered in 2013, during an exploratory fieldwork. DM appear to have contextualized meanings, they show relations between speakers, between speakers and speeches and between different parts of discourse. They mark various movements through which the speakers set a multidimensional space that provides a frame of interpretation to their uses. Therefore, the DM emerge as essential tools in the interpretation of the construction of both social and linguistic meanings that occurs in the interactional dynamic. Their alternation adds to their role as contextualization cues. This study adopts an interactional sociolinguistics approach, following an ethnomethodological orientation, which refuses to set on predetermined social or language categories and shows how sociolinguistic variation is elaborated throughout the interactional dynamic

A l’aube du 21e siècle, dans un environnement en mouvement constant, que le rapport au savoir à l’ile Maurice soit moins en termes d’enseignement, de «reproduction», d’«héritiers», ou de «transmission» pour faire place à l’apprentissage, aux relations à travers des remises en causes des « habitus ». Un modèle d’éducation qui se perpétue depuis des générations avec pour toile de fond, une pédagogie transmissive/le ’spoon-feeding’, la compétition académique et un recours massif à des leçons particulières pour l’obtention d’une place dans les meilleurs collèges et d’une bourse d’Etat, attestés par des nombreux écrits au cours de cette recherche nous interpellent sur notre mission en tant qu’enseignant et nous font comprendre à travers des études auprès des enseignants de l’Enseignement Supérieur que l’école peut répondre en partie aux faiblesses pédagogiques de notre système éducatif en permettant à nos apprenants de sortir de leur conditionnement mais se doit surtout d’être une organisation apprenante en les encourageant à travailler dans un esprit de complémentarité des savoirs afin de s’enrichir à travers le collectif, confirmé par leurs implications, motivations et façon d’apprendre qui n’ont été que positivement renforcées lors des expérimentations sur différentes plateformes utilisant les Tic au sein de l’UDM.Un pays qui de par sa position géostratégique, ses projets éducatifs mondialistes, aspire à devenir un « Knowledge Hub » ne peut agir efficacement sans envisager une approche systémique dans ses réformes en complémentant le contexte avec les Tic afin de faire évoluer le système éducatifKnowledge is no longer limited to a selective group of individuals but should relate to any person eager for learning. In the 21st century, in a constantly changing educational environment, in Mauritius, schooling is still based on the notion of a pyramid-typed organisation. In this research. it has been observed that this flaw is explained through a model of education that perpetuates for generations with a backdrop of scholastic pedagogy encouraging 'spoon-feeding', intense academic competition and heavy reliance on private tuitions for obtaining a place in the best colleges and eventually a state scholarship. Studies conducted through this research challenged us in our mission as educators and researchers and made us understand, through experimentations, that the school should be a learning organisation with teams working in a spirit of complementarity for knowledge sharing because ‘the human brain is programmed for social interaction’(Hinton and Fischer). The researcher considered the use of ICTs to respond to weaknesses in the Mauritian education system ― seen as a hygiene factor (Herzberg) ― allowing learners to escape this ‘lethargic’ condition, this bilateral relationship as one way communication and to think out of the box while enriching themselves through collective learning practice. Mauritius has the advantage of using English and French as a bilingual platform, and is geo-strategically well positioned to become a "Knowledge Hub", the stepping stone between Africa and Asia in Education, must consider a systemic approach of education complemented with ICT. This will enable the country emerge with a practical educationalreform focused on the global dimension

Full textAbstract:
L’arbitrage constitue une voie alternative à la voie judiciaire. De la convention d’arbitrage découle un effet double, d’une part elle soumet le litige à la compétence de l’arbitre et, d’autre part, elle le soustrait à la compétence du juge. Cependant, l’éviction des juridictions nationales connaît des limites rendant l’office du juge étatique nécessaire ou, à tout le moins, utile.L’exercice est délicat. Le juge est invité à intervenir en marge ou au cours d’une procédure qui, par définition, se déroule ailleurs que devant lui. À travers une étude comparée des droits et pratiques de l’arbitrage dans le Sud de l’océan Indien, la thèse trace la ligne de démarcation, parfois ténue, entre intervention opportune et immixtion malvenue. Premièrement, l’étude se penche sur l’approche de l’arbitrage et, plus particulièrement, de la convention d’arbitrage par les législations des pays de la région. Elle analyse l’appréhension du devoir d’abstention et du principe compétence-compétence par les droits du Sud de l’océan Indien, permettant d’apprécier le retrait du juge face à la convention d’arbitrage.Deuxièmement, la thèse porte, d’une part, sur l’assistance du juge dans la phase de constitution du tribunal et, d’autre part, sur son soutien s’agissant de mesures provisoires ou conservatoires avant ou pendant la procédure arbitrale.Les pays de la région disposent chacun d’un droit moderne régissant les rapports du juge avec l’arbitrage. Dans la pratique, des divergences se révèlent notamment en ce qui concerne une méfiance envers l’arbitrage de la part des juges étatiques au sein de certains systèmes juridiques étudiés. Cela pourrait expliquer le retard pris par le développement de l’arbitrage dans les pays concernésArbitration is an alternative to judicial proceedings. The arbitration agreement has two effects, first it grants jurisdiction to the arbitral tribunal and, second, it excludes the state judge. However, this eviction of national jurisdictions has limits. Some circumstances require the intervention of the state judge.In such cases, he has a delicate balance to achieve. He intervenes beside or within a procedure that shall in essence be held elsewhere. Through a comparative study of arbitration laws and practices in the Southern Indian Ocean, the thesis draws the wavering line between helpful assistance and obstructing interference.In the first part, the study focuses on arbitration practices in the region, and more particularly on how national laws address arbitration agreement. Then, the analysis deals with the negative effect of competence-competence and the obligation of national courts to refer the parties to arbitration.In the second part, the thesis focuses, firstly, on the judge’s assistance to solve difficulties throughout the constitution phase of the arbitral tribunal and, secondly, on its support for interim measures before or during the arbitral proceedings.In this part of the world, there are modern laws governing interactions between national courts and arbitration. In practice, difficulties arise due to a mistrust that would explain why arbitration does not develop in some of the studied countries

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la littérature mauricienne (contes et nouvelles) d'expression française dès son début jusqu’à l'indépendance. L'île Maurice a connu une double colonisation importante : la colonisation française de 1715 à 1810 et la colonisation britannique de 1810 à 1968. Ces bouleversements politiques, en particulier, la reprise de l'île par les Anglais, ont donné un essor à la littérature mauricienne. Cependant, de nos jours, cette littérature est souvent oubliée ou perçue comme une suite d'imitation. En effet, à l'époque, les écrivains puisaient souvent leurs idées des oeuvres et des mouvements littéraires européens. Toutefois, vers les années 1940, une innovation est notée dans l'écriture et la thématique des oeuvres mauriciennes. Notre étude examine ainsi l'évolution dans les nouvelles et contes mauriciens, car l'invention y estThis thesis analyses short stories of Mauritius in the French language during the colonial period. In fact, Mauritius has been colonised by the French from 1715 till 1810, and by the British from 1810 till 1968, in which year it gained its independence. These political upheavals had an impact on the literary works of that time, works which are nowadays forgotten and have often been accused of being a literature of imitation. However, in the 1940s, innovative ideas started to crop up and changes in the writings and themes are observed. This study therefore illustrates the evolution and invention in Mauritian writings especially in its short stories

Full textAbstract:
Les îles indépendantes de la Caraïbe et l'île Maurice dans le sud-ouest de l'océan Indien se sont lancées dans le développement pour réduire les risques liés à l'économie de plantation. Notre interrogation porte sur l'industrialisation. Quelles grandes politiques ont été mises en œuvre pour l'industrialisation ? Quels types d'industries trouvons-nous ? Dans quelles conditions peuvent-elles s'implanter ? Quels sont les impacts sur le développement socio-spatial ? La réflexion porte sur l'industrialisation : d'abord de substitution aux importations puis extravertie. Dans le cadre de cette dernière politique se sont développées les zones franches industrielles d'exportation. Ce qui explique l'analyse sur le concept de zone franche et les conditions de leur émergence dans un environnement économique protégé (1ère partie). L'étude comparée de l'île Maurice et de la République dominicaine met en exergue les dynamiques spatiales des zones franches, dynamiques largement dépendantes des possibilités d'implantation des unités d'assemblage. L'arrivée des industries délocalisées a un impact sur les organisations sociales, économiques et spatiales. De nouvelles classes sociales ont vu le jour. La zone franche mauricienne est devenue un district industriel tandis que les zones franches dominicaines - des enclaves économiques - ont des dynamismes fondamentalement différents. La multiplication des unités d'assemblage sur le territoire mauricien et des enclaves en République dominicaine aboutit à des modèles de l'expansion spatiale de l'espace industriel dont le moteur est la synergie générée par le système des acteurs (2ème partie). Le démantèlement des accords commerciaux sur le textile et l'habillement - principaux secteurs opérant dans ces zones - amène de nouvelles réponses locales comme la prise en compte du rôle des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises dans le développement territorial. L'impact des zones franches dans les sociétés conduit à l'étude de la culture ouvrière. Qu'en est-il de la culture ouvrière ? Enfin, rendre moins vulnérable un système économique spécialisé passe par la promotion des trois piliers du développement durable et la diversification des activités (3ème partie).

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de recherche interroge un large corpus romanesque de l’île Maurice, produit en français et en anglais pendant les années 1990 et 2010, sur ses différentes inscriptions de la postcolonialité. Ces dernières années voient un mouvement d’innovation et de rupture esthétique, thématique et poétique parmi une jeune génération d’écrivains francophones tandis qu’un tel dynamisme, à quelques exceptions près, semble moins à l’œuvre dans la littérature mauricienne d’expression anglaise. Alors que les voix novatrices des uns se caractérisent par une écriture de la transgression, de la démystification, de l’anti-tropicalisation ainsi qu’une mise en scène complexe d’interrogations sur des questions identitaires, celles des autres restent confinées dans un certain immobilisme. Le constat d’un champ littéraire clivé à plusieurs égards est inévitable. Une lecture croisée, entre ces différentes scénographies, qui s’articule autour des leitmotivs de la violence et de l’interculturalité permettra d’analyser de façon critique un certain nombre de tendances scripturaires romanesques actuellement en coprésence à Maurice. Selon quelles modalités se fait la représentation et la négociation des espaces-temps insulaires ? Quelles logiques ethnoculturelles et dynamiques idéologiques sous-tendent ces textes ? Comment le roman met-il en scène les facteurs de l’ethnicité, de la classe, du genre ? En d’autres mots, comment pense-t-il – ou refuse de penser – la complexité de la nation multiculturelle ? Notre démarche comparatiste visera à comprendre les spécificités dominantes d’un espace littéraire éclaté et en déséquilibre et de problématiser dans quelle mesure le renouveau poétique offre des réflexions novatrices sur les enjeux identitaires contemporains de la société et la littérature mauriciennesThis research project explores the different inscriptions of postcolonial identities in an extensive corpus of Mauritian novels written in French and English between 1990 and 2010. Over these last few decades, aesthetic, thematic and poetic innovation can be observed in a young generation of Francophone Mauritian writers, whereas such tendencies are rare among their Anglophone counterparts. While the former can be characterized by their subversive, demystifying and anti-exoticising postures, as well as their complex ways of interrogating issues of identity, the latter rather seem artistically stagnant. The Mauritian literary field clearly reveals itself as unequal as far as quantity and quality are concerned. A postcolonial ‘cross-reading-against-the-grain’ of these different texts, which focuses on leitmotivs of violence and interculturality, allows us to interrogate critically a certain number of literary tendencies currently found in Mauritius. How do the novels negotiate the island’s topographies and temporalities? Which ethno-cultural logics and ideological dynamics can be found underlying these contemporary texts? How do the novels represent complex factors such as ethnicity, class, gender? In other words, how do the Mauritian writers reflect on – or refuse to do so – the complexity of their multicultural nation? This comparative endeavour aims at understanding the dominant characteristics of a very heterogeneous literary field and seeks to analyze to what extent the new aesthetic tendencies offer original perspectives on contemporary issues of identity in Mauritian society as well as its literary production

Full textAbstract:
Le développement d’un pays ne peut désormais pas être considéré que du point de vue économique, l’aspect social et environnemental doit aussi être considéré. Les différentes conventions et décisions commerciales doivent promouvoir et permettre un développement durable. La thèse étudie le lien entre les articles de l’Accord sur la facilitation des échanges (AFE) et les dix-sept objectifs du développement durable (ODD) des Petits états insulaire en développement (PEID). L’AFE est le dernier accord majeur de l’Organisation Mondial du Commerce, il y a pour but de rendre le commerce des marchandises plus fluide à travers un système d’importation, d’exportation et de transit efficace entre autres. L’accord aidera les pays moins développés à participer plus activement au commerce international. Les articles substantiels de l’AFE sont étudiés de façon critique à la lumière du développement durable mais aussi les articles qui traitent du mécanisme de mise en œuvre de l’AFE. Ce dernier est très particulier et innovateur car il s’adapte au niveau de développement du pays. Les ODD les plus affectés par la mise en application de l’AFE ont été identifiés. De plus cette thèse considère le contexte des PEID qui sont des pays avec des particularités propres à eux et l’Ile Maurice est étudiée comme cas d’étude pour permettre une analyse approfondie du sujet. Des recommandations pour l’OMC et les PEID sont finalement faites pour une mise en application efficace de l’AFEThe development of a country cannot now be seen only from the economic point of view, the social and environmental aspects must also be considered. The various trade conventions and decisions must promote and enable sustainable development. The thesis examines the link between the articles of the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) and the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of Small Island Developing States (SIDS). TFA is the last major agreement of the World Trade Organization, its purpose is to make trade in goods more fluid through an efficient import, export and transit system among others. The agreement will help less developed countries to participate more actively in international trade. The substantive articles of the TFA are critically studied in the light of sustainable development but also the articles which deal with the mechanism of implementation of the TFA. The latter is very particular and innovative because it adapts to the level of development of the country. The SDGs most affected by the implementation of the TFA have been identified. In addition, this thesis considers the context of the SIDS which are countries with particularities specific to them and Mauritius is studied as a case study to allow a critical analysis of the subject. Recommendations for the WTO and SIDS are made for effective implementation of the AFE

Hassamal, Shrita. "Grammar of Mauritian adverbs." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCC045.
Full textAbstract:
Le mauricien est un créole à base française avec un lexique d’origine française pour au moins 90%, sans statut officiel et de graphie récente (Hookoomsing 2004, Police-Michel et al 2011). À part l’étude générale de Baker (1972), les principales études syntaxiques portent sur le domaine nominal (Guillemin 2011, Alleesaib 2012) ou verbal (Henri 2010) ou sur les deux (Syea 2012). Cette thèse est consacrée aux adverbes qu’il convient de distinguer des autres catégories, dans une langue avec peu de morphologie flexionnelle et dont les autres catégories sont aussi invariables, à part les verbes qui peuvent avoir deux formes (forme longue (FL) et forme courte (FC))(Corne 1982, Henri & Abeillé 2008, Henri 2010) et certains noms qui peuvent agglutiner l’article (Bonami & Henri 2010). Nous montrons que les adverbes ont une syntaxe particulière qui se distingue de celle des adverbes du français: la plupart sont post verbales et certains se comportent syntaxiquement comme des compléments et non comme des ajouts, en déclenchant la FC du verbe. Du point de vue méthodologique, nous nous basons d’abord, sur le seul dictionnaire unilingue en mauricien, le DiksionerMorisien (Carpooran 2011) pour avoir une première base de données, puis sur les œuvres littéraires de Virahsawmy, sur le journal Lalit et sur les intuitions d’informateurs mauriciens pour tester nos hypothèses. Ensuite nous avons recours à des expériences de type psycholinguistique pour étudier les adverbes comparatifs en mauricien et en français. Dans un premier temps nous avons établi une liste de propriétés pour définir la catégorie Adverbe et pour la distinguer des autres catégories ; des prépositions (anba ‘sous’), des marqueurs TMA (ti [passé]), des pronoms (zordi ‘aujourd’hui’) et des adjectifs (agogo ‘en abondance’). Nous avons alors créé une autre base de données en ôtant de la première liste les mots que nous n’analysons pas comme adverbe et en ajoutant d’autres qui n’y figuraient pas. Ensuite, nous décrivons la formation lexicale des adverbes du mauricien qui sont majoritairement des hérités du français (vit ‘vite’). Il y a aussi des innovations du mauricien, créées par recatégorisation (mari qui vient du nom français ‘époux’ et qui est devenu l’adverbe ‘très’ en mauricien) ou par réduplication (anba-anba ‘sournoisement’). Le deuxième chapitre est consacré à une classification sémantique des adverbes; nous distinguons douze principales classes distinguables par des critères syntaxiques et sémantiques; les adverbes d’énonciations, modaux, connecteurs, évaluatifs, les adverbes d’habitude, aspectuels, temporels, les adverbes de domaine, locatifs, les adverbes de manière, les adverbes de degré et les adverbes sensibles au focus. Ensuite, nous faisons une étude syntaxique de ces classes. Nous montrons que les adverbes du mauricien peuvent avoir plusieurs fonctions: tête de phrase attributive, extrait, ajout à un verbe ou une autre catégorie et complément de verbe. En plus de la position des adverbes dans la phrase et de leur possibilité d’extraction dans les constructions clivées, l’alternance verbale en mauricien offre un critère supplémentaire pour déterminer la fonction des adverbes. Puis, nous consacrons les deux prochains chapitres à une étude approfondie de la classe des adverbes de degré (Kennedy & McNally 2005). Les adverbes de degré incluent aussi les adverbes comparatifs et nous avons réalisé une expérience avec des locuteurs natifs pour tester la distribution de pli et plis ‘plus’ en mauricien. Comme ces comparatifs de supériorité viennent du français plus prononcé /ply/ et /plys/ (sans compter la forme de liaison /plyz/), nous faisons aussi une étude expérimentale pour tester leur distribution en français. Nous concluons que la distribution de pli et plis en mauricien est en partie un héritage du français. Finalement, nous présentons la syntaxe des adverbes en mauricien dans le cadre HPSG qui est une théorie linguistique basée sur des contraintes (Sag et al. 2003)Mauritian is a French-based creole with at least 90% of its lexicon inherited from French. It has no official status and a recent standardised written form (Hookoomsing 2004, Police-Michel, Carpooran & Florigny 2011). Apart form the general study of Baker (1972), most syntactic studies concern the nominal domain (Guillemin 2011, Allesaib 2012) or the verbal domain (Henri 2010) or both (Syea 2012).This dissertation is devoted to the study of adverbs, which is important to distinguish from other categories, especially in such a language with little morphology, and where the other categories are also invariable, apart from verbs that may have two forms (a long form and a short form) (Corne 1982, Henri & Abeillé 2008, Henri 2010) and nouns that may agglutinate the article (Bonami & Henri 2010). We also show that Mauritian adverbs have a particular syntax that differentiates them from French adverbs: most of the adverbs occur post-verbally and some are syntactic complements and not adjuncts, triggering the verb short form. On the methodological level, initially, we rely on the unique unilingual dictionary available in Mauritian, the Diksioner Morisien (Carpooran 2011) to obtain a first database of adverbs, and then on the literary works of the contemporary author Dev Virahsawmy, on articles from the online journal of the political party Lalit (www.lalitmauritius.org) and on the intuitions of Mauritian informants, to test our hypotheses. We also made use of more formal experimental methods to study and compare comparative adverbs in Mauritian and French.At first, we established a list of properties to define the category Adverb and to differentiate them from the other categories in Mauritian, namely prepositions (anba ‘under’), TMA markers (ti [past], pronouns (zordi ‘today’) and adjectives (agogo ‘in abundance’). Thereby, we created a new database of 428 adverbs after removing words that we do not analyse as adverbs, and adding others that were not in the list. Then, we described the lexical formation of Mauritian adverbs that are mostly French inheritances (vit ‘fast’). There are, however, some Mauritian innovations, created by recategorisation (for e.g. mari comes from the French noun mari ‘husband’ and has become a degree adverb ‘very’ in Mauritian) or by reduplication (anba-anba ‘sneakily’).The second chapter of the dissertation is devoted to a semantic classification of the adverbs; we distinguish twelve main semantic classes distinguishable by syntactic and semantic criteria; speech-act adverbs, modal adverbs, connectives, evaluatives, habitual adverbs, aspectual adverbs, domain adverbs, locatives, manner adverbs, degree adverbs and focus sensitive adverbs. Then, we studied these semantic classes of adverbs from a syntactic perspective. We show that Mauritian adverbs may function in several ways. They may be heads of copular sentences, fillers in sentence initial position, adjuncts to a verb or to another category or complements to a verb. In addition to the position of adverbs in a sentence and their possibility to be extracted in clefted constructions, the verbal alternation between a long form and a short form offers an additional criterion to determine the function of adverbs in Mauritian. The last two chapters are devoted to a detailed study of the class of degree adverbs (Kennedy & McNally 2005), including comparative adverbs (as…as, more, less). We developed experimental methods to test the distribution of pli and plis in Mauritian with native speakers. Then, since these superiority comparatives come from French plus pronounced /ply/ and /plys/ (apart from the liaison form /plyz/), we experimentally tested the distribution in French. We conclude that the distribution of Mauritian pli and plis is partly an inheritance of French. Finally, we sketch representations of the syntactic functions of Mauritian adverbs in HPSG, a formal constraint-based framework (Sag et al. 2003)

Full textAbstract:
Dans un contexte qualifié d’ « économie du savoir », où la croissance de l’économie mondiale repose de plus en plus sur les activités intensives en connaissance, la thèse s’interroge sur la capacité de deux petits États insulaires en développement – Maurice et Trinidad – à s’adapter pour s'intégrer à cette dynamique. Ces anciennes colonies britanniques, membres du Commonwealth depuis leur accession à l'indépendance dans les années soixante, font état d’indicateurs de développement en constante progression et sont souvent considérées comme des modèles de réussite économique. La thèse étudie la mise en place des institutions dans ces pays et cherche à évaluer dans quelle mesure l’héritage de la période coloniale, à travers la trace qu'ils en conservent dans la période contemporaine, peut faciliter la transition de leurs économies vers les secteurs intensifs en savoir. Pour ce faire, elle retrace leur trajectoire de développement institutionnel et économique des origines jusqu’à nos jours et elle s’intéresse notamment aux mesures prises aujourd’hui pour doter le pays du cadre nécessaire à l’économie de la connaissance, en particulier à travers le rôle de l’enseignement supérieur en tant qu’outil fondamental pour former le capital humain. Tout en reconnaissant que certains des atouts dont disposent les deux pays pour s’engager dans ce processus avec succès peuvent être mis en relation avec leur passé colonial, la thèse approfondit l’hypothèse que leur transformation en économies de la connaissance risque aussi d'être entravée par des caractéristiques héritées de cette période et qui, des décennies après l'accession à l'indépendance, freinent une large diffusion de la connaissance au sein de leur populationAt a time when economic growth is thought to be driven primarily by knowledge, the purpose of this research is to analyse to what extent two Small Island Developing States – Mauritius and Trinidad – are adequately equipped for this new economic context. As former British colonies, they both joined the Commonwealth upon gaining independence in the nineteen-sixties and they have since largely succeeded in overcoming their initially unfavourable conditions. Today, their good political, economic and social development is widely acknowledged. The main focus of this research is to evaluate how far colonial legacy, which is still visible in the contemporary institutions of both these states, can favour the transition they wish to undertake towards knowledge-intensive activities as drivers of economic growth. For this purpose, the research analyses the development trajectory followed by their institutions and their economy spanning the whole period of their colonial and post-independence history; additionally, this research considers the steps which are undertaken nowadays to build the framework required to foster a knowledge economy by studying more specifically the role of higher education as an essential tool for human capital formation. While upholding that some of the assets which could help them achieve their objectives can be linked to their colonial past, the research contends that the transformation of these two countries into knowledge-based economies could be hindered by the legacy of colonisation on some of their current features and which, decades after gaining independence, impedes the widespread diffusion of knowledge amongst their population

Este trabalho tem como metodologia a utilização das obras de Mauritus Cornelius Escher para a construção do conhecimento da geometria através da produção de caleidociclos, associando a interdisciplinaridade entre arte e matemática. A proposta sugere que a disposição de recursos didáticos facilite a compreensão e a visualização dos elementos geométricos, simplificando o processo de ensino aprendizagem com objetivo de despertar, incentivar e dar significado ao estudo da geometria aos alunos. A aplicação da pesquisa ocorreu de forma qualitativa com alunos do 3° ano do ensino médio, na cidade de Ceilândia- DF, onde foi realizado um projeto de quatro encontros no qual os alunos puderam produzir em algumas etapas previamente elaboradas mosaicos no estilo M. C. Escher, levando em consideração todos os processos geométricos associados como construção de polígonos e uso de simetrias, finalizando com a aplicação dessa pavimentação na planificação do caleidociclo e observando os critérios necessários para que a configuração das imagens formadas no caleidociclo fosse simétrica. Ao final do estudo, verificou-se que a aquisição dos fundamentos da matemática pode se tornar mais efetiva quando associada à outras áreas de conhecimento, e que a inserção de objetos concretos e lúdicos despertam a curiosidade, o prazer e motivação relevantes na aprendizagem, principalmente quando o aluno participa da elaboração e construção desse material.
This research has as methodology the use of Mauritus Cornelius Escher’s works for the construction of knowledge of geometry through the production of kaleidocicles, associating the interdisciplinarity between art and mathematics. The proposal suggests that the provision of didactic resources facilitates the understanding and visualization of the geometric elements, simplifying the teaching-learning process in order to awaken, encourage and give meaning to the study of geometry to students. The application of the research occurred in a qualitative way with students of the 3rd year of high school, in the city of Ceilândia-DF, where a project of four meetings was carried out in which the students were able to produce in a few steps previously developed mosaics in the M.

Escher style, taking into account all geometric processes associated as geometric construction of polygons and use of symmetries, ending with the application of this pavement in the planning of the kaleidocicle and observing the necessary criteria so that the configuration of images formed in the kaleidocicle was symmetrical. At the end of the study, it was verified that the acquisition of Mathematics’s Foundations can become more effective when associated to other areas of knowledge, and that the insertion of concrete and playful objects arouse curiosity, pleasure and relevant motivation in learning, especially when the student participates in the preparation and construction of this material.

Full textAbstract:
Dans cette thèse, nous examinons les aspects morphologiques, syntaxiques et discursives liés au phénomène d'alternance de forme verbale en mauricien. Je démontre que contrairement à ce qui semble être une alternance conditionnée phonologiquement, l'alternance Forme Courte/Forme Longue, héritée sans doute du système flexionnelle du français, est corrélée et à la structure argumentale du verbe et à des phénomènes discursifs. Outre cette distinction morphomique au niveau de leur distribution, les deux formes verbales présentent un système flexionnel plus ou moins complexe, apportant ainsi de nouveaux arguments pour les analyses morphologiques à la Aronoff (1994). Elle apporte également des arguments supplémentaires pour la distinction de types de compléments: clausaux versus non-clausaux établit par Bresnan (1982). Une des découvertes majeures de cette thèse concerne les phénomènes de focus, comme par exemple, la forme longue en tant qu'exposant de Verum Focus ou la topicalisation comme moyen de focaliser l'objet comme substitut de la passivisation. D'autres phénomènes comme les phrases averbales ou le comportement verbes à montée et à contrôle, arguent en faveur d'une analyse purement lexicalisteThis thesis explores the morphological, syntactic and discursive-based aspects related to the phenomenon of verb form alternation present in Mauritian. Contrary to what has often been argued, such an alternation is not phonologically conditioned but syntactically- and discursively-driven. Verb form alternation is an exponent of a systematic distinction marking argument realization modes. This alternation shows the trappings of a complex inflectional System with a morphomic distribution of the two forms (Aronoff 1994). In addition, this morphosyntactic distinction receives a natural explanation if one abandons any analysis in terms of Case Assignment. The distribution of the two forms of verbs is remarkable: the contexts in which they appear do not form a natural class. The morphological sensitivity to argument realization provides a strong argument for distinguishing between the different types of complements. A first finding of this thesis concerns Focus phenomena When the Long Form appears with non-clausal complements, they carry Verum Focus. On the other hand, contrastive focus appearing with ditransitives provide a good diagnostic for determining passivization. Ditransitives seem to passivize with the PP agent, only when they have an object argument missing. Otherwise focus of the object is done via object topicalization and subject pro drop with the construction remaining in the active voice. A second innovation relates to unaccusative verbs which clearly differ from passive verbs in many respects. A final distinction brought to light herein concerns the distinction between raising and control verbs. The cited phenomena, not to mention copular and copulaless clauses, all provide evidence for a strict lexicalist approach to grammar

CAPES
Diante do aumento da falta de interesse em estudar matemática por parte de alunos do ensino básico, o autor se viu necessitado em desenvolver algo quezesse com que os alunos percebessem alguns conceitos básicos de geometria e sua relação com a arte, bem como mostrar diversas aplicações no cotidiano. Este trabalho tem como base a construção de tipos de mosaicos que podem ser obtidos com polígonos regulares e mostrar como fazer guras abstratas auto encaixáveis a partir destes mosaicos. Serão exibidos trabalhos práticos realizados pelo autor em escolas públicas do Distrito Federal nos últimos 15 anos que foram devidamente registrados e avaliados com o rigor matemático adequado, visando sempre uma interligação entre os conteúdos dados em sala de aula e as práticas sugeridas nos trabalhos concretos. Por m, serão mostradas técnicas utilizadas por MC Escher para a construção de mosaicos a partir dos mesmos polígonos regulares e a possibilidade de fazê-los a partir de mosaicos constituídos de polígonos regulares diferentes.
Given the increasing lack of interest in studying mathematics by elementary school students, the author found himself in need to develop a text that would make the students realize and understand some basic concepts of geometry and its relation to art, as well as display various applications in real world. This work is based on the construction of types of tiles that can be built with regular polygons and show how to make abstract gures self dockable from these mosaics. We show practical work that the author applied in public schools in Brasília Distrito Federal for the past 15 years. They have been properly recorded and evaluated with the appropriate mathematical rigidity, always seeking a connection between the content data in the classroom and the practices suggested in concrete work. Finally they will be shown the techniques used by MC Escher for building mosaics from the same regular polygons and the possibility of getting them from dierent regular polygons made up of mosaics.

Previous issue date: 2010Estudos de proveniência nos arenitos da Formação Mauriti, Bacia do Araripe, foram realizados através de técnicas integradas de microscopia óptica e eletrônica de varredura, e difratometria de Raios-X. A maioria desses arenitos foi classificada como quartzoarenito e, subordinadamente, subarcóseo. Com base na litológica, geometria, estruturas sedimentares e padrão de paleofluxo, foram identificadas três fácies sedimentares e duas subfácies, reunidas em quatro associações de fácies: de leques aluviais, preenchimento de canais fluviais entrelaçados, frente deltaica e depósitos de lençóis de areia eólicos. A granulação desses arenitos varia de areia grossa/conglomerática a fina, com seleção moderada a má, com grãos angulosos a subarredondados. A maioria das amostras apresenta matriz infiltrada constituída por caulinita, ilita, clorita, esmectita e interestratificados de esmectita/clorita. O quartzo é o constituinte predominante, e se apresenta tanto na forma monocristalina, com extinção ondulante, como policristalina. Dentre os feldspatos, predominam o K-feldspato e, em menor proporção, o plagioclásio. As micas são representadas pela muscovita e biotita. Os fragmentos de rochas são constituídos por gnaisse, chert, quartzito, rochas vulcânicas e alterito. A assembléia de minerais pesados é variada, representada por zircão, turmalina, rutilo, anatásio, pirita, epidoto, anfibólio, piroxênio, granada e opacos. Quanto à maturidade textural, são considerados imaturos e submaturos. Do ponto de vista mineralógico, são imaturos e maturos. Os principais eventos diagenéticos observados foram: infiltração mecânica de argila; compactação mecânica e química; dissolução parcial de alguns grãos de feldspatos; precipitação de cimento de sílica; cimento de óxidos/hidróxidos de ferro; alteração e substituição por argilominerais. A maioria das amostras foram plotadas no campo de proveniência de blocos continentais de Cráton Estável. As características texturais dos arenitos, com grãos de quartzo e feldspatos angulosos a subarredondados, a seleção moderada a má, denotam rápido transporte. A principal fonte de material sedimentar para as rochas da Formação Mauriti foi o próprio embasamento cristalino, composto por rochas ígneas, principalmente graníticas, e rochas metamórficas. A presença de minerais pouco resistentes, como anfibólios e piroxênios, podem indicar pouco transporte, ou seja, maior proximidade da área fonte. Na época de deposição da formação em apreço, a área-fonte provavelmente apresentava um relevo pouco elevado, com clima quente e úmido

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable Tourism (ST) integrates governance, economic, socio-cultural and environmental dimensions of tourism in tourism development and management. Growing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) concerns suggest that traditionally, tourism tends to corrupt the very resources it needs to thrive, and thus its sustainability over the long haul has become of general concern. However, despite the vast and extensive literature dedicated to ST, including preeminent journals providing both a theoretical base and reliable empirical evidence to the subject, the concept of sustainability in tourism remains somehow at its embryonic stage, especially in the case of a small island developing state (SIDS). The research occurred within the context of the destination (Mauritius), with however, a focus on five sizeable Mauritian hotel groups. With tourism being one of the pillars of the Mauritian economy, this research intended to explore the different repercussions of such an industry. The aim of the research was to determine to what extent tourism’s operations and development, was appropriately managed in Mauritius by assessing the country’s current tourism situation relating to sustainability and identifying priority areas for intervention. This, was done using different tools, including the United Nations World Tourism Organisation's framework, the Global Sustainable Tourism Council's guidelines and the Sustainable Tourism Attitude Scale. The contribution this research intended to make was to suggest sustainable tourism opportunities and make recommendations for the tourism sector and its stakeholders for the island of Mauritius. Overall, the research concluded that despite the increased importance of ST, the need for Managed Tourism (MT) and the formulation of general principles and guidelines, tourism governance; poverty reduction; and the sustainability of the natural and cultural environment were identified as areas of particular need and should be considered with high priority for intervention/action.

A utilização de tecnologia na agricultura a torna menos dependente dos fatores climáticos, mais produtiva e promissora, contribuindo para a obtenção do seu desenvolvimento e da economia. Os investimentos em tecnologia para a agricultura,realizados pelo Governo do Estado do Ceará, concentram-se principalmente na agricultura irrigada através da formação de agropolos. Nesses, predomina a fruticultura irrigada, sendo a banana uma das principais culturas. A bananicultura desempenha importantes papéis de ordem econômica e social para a agricultura brasileira, entretanto é caracterizada pela prática, em geral, com baixa produtividade, baixo nível tecnológico e grandes perdas no processo de produção. No agropolo Cariri a bananicultura tem ganhado relevância com o aumento considerável da área plantada e da quantidade produzida. Nesse agropolo, o crescimento da cultura deu-se com maior intensidade no Município de Mauriti. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar o nível tecnológico da bananicultura irrigada do Município de Mauriti-CE e seus aspectos socioeconômicos. Especificamente pretendeu-se mensurar o nível tecnológico, verificar as tecnologias que têm maior contribuição na determinação desse nível tecnológico e os fatores socioeconômicos que condicionam sua adotação pelos produtores de banana de Mauriti- CE. Para mensuração do nível tecnológico, foi formulado um índice que compreende não somente as tecnologias de produção, mas também as variáveis que a compõem. A análise das variáveis socioeconômicas dos produtores que têm efeito sobre a probabilidade de adoção de tecnologia deu-se através da estimação de uma equação, utilizando o modelo Probit, indicado para estudos em que a variável dependente é qualitativa. O índice tecnológico calculado para a bananicultura de Mauriti mostrou que o nível tecnológico adotado é classificado como bom. As tecnologias de irrigação e fitossanidade têm nível de adoção classificado como ótimo e as tecnologias de mudas, adubação e tratos culturais, como de nível bom. Por outro lado, os níveis de adoçãos das tecnologias de colheita e pós-colheita são classificados como regulares e o da gestão como insuficiente. Na composição do índice tecnológico, a fitossanidade teve participação de 21,15%, a irrigação de 19,23% e os tratos culturais de 15,38%. As tecnologias de mudas e adubação tiveram participação de 13,46% e 11,54%, respectivamente. As menores participações foram das tecnologias de pós-colheita, com 9,61%, de colheita com 7,69%, e da gestão, com 1,92%. As variáveis que se mostraram significativas na explicação da probabilidade de adoção de tecnologia adequada ou próxima de adequada para produção de banana foram assistência técnica, bananicultura como atividade principal, crédito, escolaridade, idade, posse da terra, renda total e residência na propriedade. Todas essas variáveis mostraram ter influência positiva sobre tal probabilidade

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines young people’s constructions of nationhood in Mauritius. In 2008, the Mauritian government instituted a Truth and Justice Commission (TJC), set up to investigate the consequences of slavery and indentured labour. Through the Truth and Justice Commission, the Mauritian government indicated its desire to achieve social justice and national unity. Drawing on developments in studies of national identification practices in the 21st Century, this thesis addresses the question of young Mauritian’s locally and globally informed identification practices and asks how their unofficial narratives of nationhood challenge, or divert, or relate to official state narratives of nationhood. The basis of the study emerges from data collected from 132 participants during fieldwork in multiple fieldsites from May to September 2010 as well as research on Mauritian youth on-line from 2011-2014. The advent of the TJC offers an ideal moment to evaluate the dynamics of post-colonial nation-building and nationhood in a selfstyled multi-cultural state. Nationhood, does not exist apriori to the constructions of narratives of the nation, thus the stories told about the nation, imagine the nation into being. By situating the Truth and Justice Commission and other official state narratives alongside young people’s narratives, I argue that contemporary narratives of nationhood in Mauritius represent an intergenerational struggle to define the meaning of the past in the present and consequently outline the future. Reflecting on the ideas and socio-economic and political processes that induce national consciousness, I argue that young people’s narratives of everyday lived experiences are vital for an interpretation of how nationhood is produced in everyday life. The cultural projects of young people – often rendered as liminal or marginal – offer a critical vantage point from where to read constructions of nationhood. Far from being growing pains or childish games, young people’s identity making practices are what Sherry B. Ortner has called “serious games.” This research suggests that official state government narratives of multicultural nationhood in Mauritius narrowly define national identification along communal loyalties, overlooking the dynamism of interculturality and transnationalism in daily practice on the island. Although communalism and rigid colonial interpretations of ethnicity attempt to police and limit the possibilities of alternative modes of being in Mauritius, young people’s identification practices question, challenge, and threaten to disrupt official discourses of ethnic identification in Mauritius Scholarly investigations of young peoples’ lived experiences of nationhood extend theoretical and methodological frames for the study of nationalized subjects and deepen the understanding of the construction of national consciousness. The construction of nationhood always involves narratives of some sort – scholarship on this area has usually focused on official state narratives from social theorists, state governments, and state elites. I argue for the importance of considering subjectivity and lived experience in conceptions of nationhood. In contemporary post-colonial societies, young people are the numerical majority, however, their voices are seldom represented in theories and narratives of nationhood. Whilst young people may appear in state policies (especially education) and official narratives about the future of the nation, their creative imagining and reimagining of narratives of selfhood is often ignored. I examine how young people increasingly are aware of their transnational connections, through participation in transnational youth cultures, and they are consequently increasingly multi-lingual and multicultural. Fixed notions of ethnic identification and discourses of trauma are not at the forefront of young people’s identification of selfhood, rather their ability to take advantage of their multiply situated identification processes allows them new means to evade and transform these narratives. Their identification of selfhood is characterised by a greater degree of dynamism than previous generations had access to, and thus they do not only identify themselves through officially sanctioned national forms of identification. Loyalty to nationhood is thus less predictable, and young people represent a potential threat to the continuation of older forms of nationhood. While official narratives of nationhood may manipulate ethnic and racial cleavages to secure old loyalties, not all young people are persuaded by these notions

Amid the expansion of capitalism processes in the field, the high concentration of land and production activities related to agribusiness, came the curiosity to pursue the study of spatial area that focuses on the city of Mauriti-Ce, from a discussion focused on the experiences developed in this municipality, by farmers who work with agroecological agriculture in the mandala system seeking to understand their social, economic and cultural development. Who has the ability to use the potential of the local agro-ecological production, valuing the traditional habits of the region, enabling social inclusion of family farmers, providing higher quality in agro-ecological products consumed in food, as well as preserving the diversity, respect the local culture and also permit the implementation of new markets for family farmers. In this context, said work has as main objective to analyze agroecological experiences in the city of Mauriti / EC, especially the organic system of the Mandalas. From the analysis of the epistemological foundations of organic agriculture, identify the experiences of farmers on organic farming, understanding the management of mandalas, realize technical assistance processes, diagnose experiences practices of organic agriculture and agroecology in the city, to understand agroecological experiences that occurred in the municipality of Mauriti-Ce, between the period 2008 to July 2016. The methodology is based on the work of Demo in 2002, is of great importance the basis of theoretical frameworks related to agroecology, the mandalas and to organic production systems. Conceptions also subjective conceptions and practices carried out by social actors surveyed, enable the understanding of the local reality from the method of participatory research with farmers working in the system in the municipality of Mauriti-Ce, with the use of questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews and informal conversations. After tabulating the data collected in the questionnaires, there was the aggregation through the analysis of primary and secondary elements in the incorporation of the information provided by farmers. With the deployment of the system, it was possible to observe social and economic benefits, such as the supply of safe food, quality and value in Mauriti municipality in the state of Ceará. It was also identified that the period analyzed the system did not succeed to all producers or communities due to factors such as the lack of technical assistance, demotivation of some producers, lack of participation in associations, although much be relevance of public policies for society and the economy, while not yet efficient to meet homogeneously throughout the public focus. It was identified that the mandala system Mauriti-Ce is a sustainable model of production that provides positive benefits to the economy. Thus, in the municipalities, especially small as is the case of the municipality studied, agriculture is of great importance not only for the economy, society and sustainable local development, but also for culture.
Em meio aos processos de expansão do capitalismo no campo, à elevada concentração de terra e a atividades de produção ligadas ao agronegócio, surgiu a curiosidade de realizar o estudo com recorte espacial que tem como foco o município de Mauriti-CE, a partir de uma discussão voltada para as experiências desenvolvidas nesse município, por agricultores familiares que trabalham com a agricultura agroecológica no sistema mandala em busca de compreender seu desenvolvimento social, econômico e cultural. O qual que tem a capacidade de utilizar as potencialidades da produção agroecológica local, valorizando os hábitos tradicionais da região, possibilitando a inclusão social dos agricultores familiares, fornecendo maior qualidade nos produtos agroecológicos consumidos na alimentação, além de preservar a diversidade, respeitar a cultura regional e também possibilitar a concretização de novos mercados para a agricultura familiar. Nesse contexto, o referido trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar as experiências agroecológicas no município de Mauriti/CE, com destaque para o sistema orgânico de produção das mandalas. A partir da analise das bases epistemológicas da agricultura orgânica, identificar as experiências dos agricultores sobre a agricultura orgânica, entender o manejo das mandalas, perceber os processos de assistência técnica, diagnosticar as experiências práticas de agricultura orgânica e de agroecologia no município, para compreender as experiências agroecológicas que ocorreram no município de Mauriti-Ce, entre o período de 2008 a julho de 2016. A metodologia adotada é baseada no trabalho desenvolvido por Demo em 2002, sendo de grande importância o embasamento de referenciais teóricos relacionados à agroecologia, às mandalas e aos sistemas orgânicos de produção. Concepções também concepções subjetivas e práticas realizadas pelos atores sociais pesquisados, possibilitam o entendimento da realidade local a partir do método da pesquisa participante com os agricultores que trabalham nesse sistema no município de Mauriti-CE, com o uso de questionários, além de entrevistas semiestruturadas e conversas informais. Após a tabulação dos dados coletados na aplicação dos questionários, houve a agregação através da análise dos elementos primários e secundários na incorporação das informações prestadas pelos agricultores. Com a implantação do sistema, foi possível observar benefícios sociais e econômicos, como por exemplo, a oferta de alimentos seguros, com qualidade e valor agregado no Município de Mauriti no Estado do Ceará. Também foi identificado que no período analisado o sistema não teve êxito para todos os produtores ou comunidades, devido a alguns fatores como, por exemplo, a ausência de assistência técnica, desmotivação de alguns produtores, ausência de participação em associações, apesar de grande ser a relevância das políticas públicas para a sociedade e a economia, mesmo não sendo ainda eficientes para atender de forma homogênea a todo o público em foco. Identificou-se que o sistema mandala em Mauriti-CE é um modelo sustentável de produção que possibilita benefícios positivos para a economia. Assim sendo, nos municípios, principalmente de pequeno porte como é o caso do município estudado, a agricultura é de grande importância não só para a economia, sociedade e desenvolvimento local sustentável, mas também para a cultura.

Includes bibliographical references.Nutrition transition is a phenomenon occurring throughout most of the developing world whereby traditional diets are increasingly being replaced by Western diets. In the literature, globalization is described as the main factor promoting such a transition. In adopting Western lifestyles, people abandon their traditional foods and adopt a Western diet which largely consists of energy-dense, nutritionally poor and highly processed foods. The nutrition transition, the underlying causes and its subsequent impacts on public health are well documented in the literature. However, there is a gap in the literature explaining the different ways in which the nutrition transition unfolds in the lives of people. Therefore this research project tries to document the lived experience of a changing food system in the Mauritian context. Mauritius has been selected as the study site because it is a microcosm of the casual factors driving the nutrition transition and also because the food system is rapidly changing. In 2008, the status of the country changed from being a net food exporter to a net food importer. A rural and urban site namely, Bambous Virieux and Tranquebar, Port-Louis have been selected to understand the different food geographies and to investigate the ways people in different locations experience a changing food system. By means of in-depth interviews, narratives and observation, the difference aspects of a changing food system is investigated. This study approaches the phenomenon of nutrition transition from the research participants’ lens.

Full textAbstract:
Inherited disorders are an important cause of physical handicap, deafness, mental retardation and blindness. There is considerable variation in the geographic and ethnic distribution of genetic disease due to biological pressures and historical accidents. In this context the relative prevalence of common inherited disorders and the recognition of rare conditions in isolated communities is of great academic importance. Oceanic islands are of special significance in the study of inherited disease. Virtually nothing has been documented concerning genetic disorders on the Island of Mauritius with a population of one million people. This study was undertaken to document the impact of inherited disorders on handicapping conditions in this community. As genetic disease concentrates in institutions, formal screening of all the schools for the deaf and blind, and the associations for the physically and mentally handicapped on Mauritius was undertaken. This involved a careful history, clinical examination and genealogical study, with radiographic, biochemical and ancillary testing performed where appropriate. Referral clinics were also established for the assessment of individuals and families known, or thought to be afflicted with abnormalities or handicap of a genetic origin. To ensure completeness, a similar survey was performed on Rodrigues, a neighbouring island, as this community is included under the responsibilities of the Mauritian Ministry of Health. Accumulated data concerning 681 patients were analysed. Genetic disorders accounted for disability in 265 individuals representing 38,6% of the causes of handicap. Of these persons 54 were deaf, 30 were blind, 99 were mentally retarded and 80 were physically handicapped. Several new entities, considered unique to the area and a consequence of either consanguinity or the founder effect, were documented. Karyotyping on selected individuals was undertaken in the laboratories of the Department of Human Genetics, University of Cape Town. A molecular genetic study of a large family with X-linked deafness of Nance, conducted by the same laboratory, revealed tight linkage with the probe pDP34; linkage analysis was performed on patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The collation of these original data, the delineation of the new genetic conditions and an analysis of the results form the subject of this thesis and provide a basis for the future development of genetic services on Mauritius.

Os estudos arqueológicos no Cariri cearense têm início no ano de 2005, com a descoberta dos sítios cerâmicos Chapada, Santo Antônio e Anauá, no município de Mauriti, na sub-bacia sedimentar do Araripe; o sítio cerâmico Olho d Água do Pau foi descoberto no mesmo município no ano de 2008. As atividades desenvolvidas nestas áreas foram de salvamento arqueológico e tiveram fim no ano de 2008. Resultam destas atividades as coleções de material cerâmico e lítico dos referidos sítios. Estes sítios foram associados à ocupação de grupos pré-históricos ceramistas filiados à Tradição Tupiguarani. A partir destes estudos de salvamento resolveu-se iniciar pesquisa acadêmica, tendo como propósito conhecer a tecnologia dos grupos horticultores ceramistas da região do Cariri cearense. Sem trabalhar com a prévia filiação a uma tradição arqueológica, buscou-se conhecer os perfis cerâmicos de cada sítio para compará-los entre si e com os sítios da área pernambucana da Chapada do Araripe, mais precisamente os sítios Aldeia do Capim e Aldeia do Baião, ambos no município de Araripina. Os estudos dos grupos horticultores ceramistas que habitaram áreas do atual município de Araripina tiveram início na década de 1980. A comparação dos sítios cerâmicos do Cariri cearense com os sítios de Araripina contribui para um melhor conhecimento da tecnologia dos grupos ceramistas pré-históricos que ocuparam a região nordeste do Brasil

Full textAbstract:
On most tropical volcanic islands the risk for soil erosion is enhanced due to a complex topography, high intensity rainfall and the exploitation of land for agriculture. Mauritius is a typical maritime tropical volcanic island with a distinct elevated interior. Rainfall is dominated by tropical weather systems and trade winds and the island is under intensive cultivation. Rainfall depth, duration, intensity, kinetic energy and erosivity were analysed for 385 erosive rainfall events at five locations over a five year period (2004 to 2008) on the island of Mauritius. Two stations located on the west coast and three stations sited on the Central Plateau above 550 m a.s.l. are used to provide detailed rainfall data at six minute intervals. Erosive storm events, defined here as a total rainfall exceeding 12.5 mm and a maximum 6-minute intensity exceeding 25 mm/hour, are found to differ markedly between the coastal lowlands and the elevated interior with regards to the frequency, the total rainfall generated, the duration, total kinetic energy and total erosivity of individual events. However, mean kinetic energy, mean and maximum rainfall erosivity (EI30) and maximum intensities (I30) from individual erosive events do not show this distinct differentiation. Erosivity measured during summer exceeds that recorded in winter, but the data indicate that large percentages of winter rainfall on Mauritius are defined as erosive and non-tropical cyclone rainfall can pose a substantial erosion risk. In this maritime tropical environment with its elevated interior, soil erosion risk occurs from storm scale to synoptic scale rainfall events and extreme events generate the bulk of the erosivity. Findings show that using rainfall records at an event scale within soil erosion risk assessments on tropical islands with a complex topography will increase the effectiveness of erosivity estimates

Thesis (MDF)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Governments have a pivotal role in meeting the ever-increasing demand for socio-economic services in transport, energy, telecommunications, water, education, health and delivery of other social services. However, the major issue in Mauritius is the lapsus in road infrastructure. The road infrastructure agenda in Mauritius needs to be revisited, as such, maintenance has been insufficient to prevent deterioration and there are some other reasons for the damage. Urgent rehabilitation and reconstruction is required to avoid further damage. Factors such as, deficit of funding, absence of coordination between the public and the private sector, changes in political regimes, lack of transparency in the procurement process and lack of adequate legal framework are factors to which the failure of implementing Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Mauritius can be attributed. However, the implementation of PPP might enhance the nature and efficacy of the way in which public money is spent and encourage resilience and competency of the taxation structure. Governments will therefore be apt to consider strategic partnerships in order to promote state-of-the-art technological advancement and enhance managerial skills and capabilities. Reviews discussed by the Government of Mauritius were taken from annual reports and an in-depth study was carried out. Moreover, as secondary analysis differs from systematic reviews and meta-analyses of qualitative studies, which aim instead to compile and assess the evidence relating to a common concern or area of practice, both secondary analysis and meta-analysis have been used. Therefore, this study comprised of a thorough, narrative discussions of research studies which epitomize attempts to make sense of the rapidly expanding research on PPP in Mauritius. From the narrative discussion, it can be highlighted that, controversy arose over the claims for surplus expenses of Rs 709 million on a preliminary agreement of Rs 2.2 billion. Moreover, due to factors such as massive non-alignment between government and private sector, unclear government goals and duties, multifaceted resolution, sectoral policies not well defined, regulatory challenges and limitations, risk management issues, poor reliability of public policies, insufficient local capital markets, poor mechanisms to attract cheaper long term capital, weak lucidity and absence of a competitive landscape, a delay in the implementation of PPP was encountered. However, an emergence in the number of PPPs has been witnessed in developing countries, not only because of their increasingly being viewed as value-for-money but also for the reasons that follow: enhancing the delivery of public sector services at lower costs, integrating protection of the environment by ensuring fulfilment of green requirements and promoting competition. Reviews and extracts show that Mauritius requires financial support to implement PPP projects. However, the availability of international aid has helped the country to gain faith in the implementation of PPP projects thus, helping the Small Island Developing State of Mauritius to look at the future of its development with confidence.

Full textAbstract:
Denna kandidatuppsats berör platsmarknadsföring på semesterön Mauritius. Vi författare har under en tre veckor lång fältstudie undersökt varför Mauritius utvecklats till att bli en exklusiv paradisö samt hur detta arbete har gått till väga. För att få en helhetsbild av ön samt direktkontakt med berörda aktörer har vi under vår studie intervjuat olika aktörer såsom marknadsföringsorganisationer, myndigheter, lokala entreprenörer samt turister. En intressant synvinkel för Mauritius del är hur denna lilla ö så snabbt kunnat växa fram till vad många i västvärlden kallar ett paradis. Vi åkte till Mauritius i ett tidigt stadium i uppsatsprocessen för att undersöka vilka grundläggande förutsättningar som krävs för att bygga upp en destination samt vilken ekonomisk betydelse turismen har för Mauritius.
Uppsatsen fokuserar på de tre begreppen platsmarknadsföring, platsvarumärkesbyggande samt platsimage. Dessa fenomen tillsammans berör destinationen för att slutligen fullborda i en förhoppningsvis positiv helhetsbild av platsen.
I dag är turismen en snabbväxande näring där platsmarknadsföring blir allt mer vitalt. En förutsättning för att lyckas bygga upp en väl fungerande turismdestination grundar sig i ett aktivt arbete med såväl samarbetspartners som marknadsföringsaktiviteter. Samverkan mellan myndigheter, lokalbefolkningen, turister och företagare har visat sig vara grundläggande faktorer i en destinations utveckling samt för att vidmakthålla ett konkurrenskraftigt värde på den globala marknaden.
Mauritius har tidigare varit en stark stat vad det gäller export av socker samt textil, men i och med stegrad global konkurrens har de varit tvungna att diversifiera landets ekonomi. Detta har lett dem till att investera i turismen, mycket tack vare deras naturliga förutsättningar med tropiskt klimat, sandstränder samt turkost hav.
För vår studie har vi valt att tillämpa grundad teori som strategi, med både intervjuer, deltagande observationer samt marknadsundersökning och där vår forskningsfråga är;
”Varför har Mauritius utvecklats till att bli en exklusiv paradisö och hur har det gått till?”
Vi har utfört en marknadsundersökning med 120 respondenter som har varit betydande i vårt arbete med att ta fram hur människor uppfattar platsens image samt om marknadsföringen stämmer överens mellan vad leverantören levererar samt hur mottagaren uppfattar den. Utöver vår frågeställning har vi kompletterande frågor som vi använt oss av i vår studie;
Vad spelar olika aktörer för roll i platsmarknadsföringen av Mauritius?
Hur byggs platsvarumärket Mauritius upp?
Har Mauritius lyckats med sin image av att vara en exklusiv destination?
Det empiriska materialet samlades in under fallstudien i samråd med våra respondenter genom såväl deltagande observationer, semistrukturerade -, strukturerade - samt ostrukturerade intervjuer och har i övrigt styrkts av vetenskapliga artiklar, rapporter samt relevant kurslitteratur.

Full textAbstract:
Habitat modification for agriculture is one of the greatest current threats to global biodiversity. Studies show large-scale population declines and short-term demographic impacts, but knowledge of the long-term effects of agriculture on individuals remains poor. This thesis examines the short- and long-term impact of agriculture on a reintroduced population of the Mauritius kestrel Falco punctatus, a tropical forest-dwelling raptor endemic to the island of Mauritius, that also utilises agricultural habitats. This population is a particularly appropriate model system, because complete life history data exists for individuals over a 22-year period, alongside detailed habitat and climate data. Agriculture has a short-term detrimental effect on Mauritius kestrel breeding success by exacerbating the seasonal decline in fledgling production. This is partly driven by the habitat-specific composition of the prey community that kestrels exploit to feed their chicks. The fledglings from agricultural territories tend to recruit in agricultural territories. This is largely due to poor natal dispersal and fine-scale spatial autocorrelation in the habitat matrix. Breeders do not respond to agriculture in the breeding territory by dispersing, unless the pair bond is broken. Therefore, individuals originating in agricultural territories tend to recruit, and remain in, agricultural territories throughout their lives. In addition to this, females from agricultural natal territories have shorter lifespans, schedule their peak reproductive output earlier in life, and exhibit more rapid senescence than non-agricultural females. The combination of this long-term effect and the adult experience of agriculture imposed by life history and environmental constraints, leads to a lower mean lifetime reproductive rate compared to females originating in non-agricultural habitats. These results demonstrate that agriculture experienced in early life has a lifelong effect on individuals. The effects can persist in time and space, with potentially delayed effects on population dynamics. These findings are important for understanding species’ responses to agricultural expansion.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates the role of the colonial state in mediating the impact of the great depression and the Second World War on Mauritius and situates the changes in the process of state formation. It analyses the responses of the economy and society to these major events and shows how the colonial state was forced to transform itself to meet the new challenges. The impact of the depression and the Second World War on the colonial economy and society was profound and highlighted the dependence of the economy on external factors. At the local level, deep structural forces such as the economic power of capital, the social structure as well as its own priorities led the colonial state, despite its relative autonomy, to give inadequate protection to labour and the other classes. The colonial state tilted the balance on the side of capital with the result that the relations between capital and the other classes deteriorated and culminated into the colonial crisis of 1937. This was a turning point in the history of the island. The colonial state was compelled to respond to the crisis to save the colonial order and to address age-long problems which had plagued colonial society. In the aftermath of the crisis, the colonial state took the initiative to embark on a policy of reconstruction. The outbreak of the Second World War exacerbated a number of economic and social problems and created others. But the war for also strengthened the colonial state to plan the reconstruction of the post-war society. Emboldened by the imperial policy of colonial development and welfare, state intervention, supported by a sophisticated bureaucracy, was relatively successful in modernising colonial society by pursuing a policy of accommodation and creating new structures of collaboration.

Thesis (MA (Political Science))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since the advent of independence in 1968, Mauritius’ economic trajectory evolved from the one of a monocrop sugar economy, with the latter noticeably being the backbone of the country’s economy, to one that progressed into being the custodian of a dynamic and sophisticated garment-dominated manufacturing industry. Condemned with the misfortune of not being endowed with natural resources, relative to her mainland African counterparts, Mauritius, nonetheless, was able to break the shackles of limited economic options and one of being the ‘basket-case’ to gradually evolving into being the upper-middle-income country - thus depicting it to be one of the most encouraging economies within the developing world. Indeed it is captivating that the fruits of the island’s prosperous sugar industry went a long way in meeting the island’s diversification agenda. Moreover, the ‘Mauritian miracle’ is glorified by the emergence and sustenance of a comprehensive welfare state which was able to withstand the harshest economic challenges the country ever faced. This thesis seeks to provide a broad historical over-view of the factors which aided the construction of the social democratic regime in Mauritius. It is of the premise that the social consciousness of the post-colonial leadership in Mauritius laid the foundation for the entrenchment of ideals of social justice into the Mauritian polity. Instead of letting market forces operate in their pure form, the state was propelled instead, to take the driver’s seat into the running of the economy so as to ensure the market and labour become partners in a bid to help the state meet its social development ideals. It is no wonder that current day welfare state in Mauritius is the one which is inextricably linked to elections, not just as tool to duck socio-ethnic disharmony.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sedert onafhanklikheidswording in 1968 het Mauritius se ekonomiese ontwikkeling gevorder van die van ’n enkel kommoditeit suiker uitvoerder as die basis van die ekonomie tot een met ’n dinamiese en gesofistikeerde tekstiel vervaardigingingssektor. Verdoem weens ’n tekort aan natuurlike hulpbronne in vergelyking met ander state in Afrika, het Mauritius nogtans daarin geslaag om sy tekortkominge te bowe te kom en geleidelik te ontwikkel tot ’n opper-middel inkomste staat. Suiker uitvoere het inderdaad ’n sleutelrol gespeel in die diversifikasie van die ekonomie. Die sukses van die ‘Mauritius wonderwerk’ is verder stukrag gegee deur die inwerkingstelling en voortbestaan van ’n omvattende welvaart staat wat gehelp het om die ergste ekonomiese uitdagings die hoof te bied. Hierdie tesis poog om ’n breë historiese oorsig te bied van die faktore wat die konstruksie van ’n sosiale demokratiese orde in Mauritius aangehelp het. Daar word gewerk van die premis dat die sosiale bewussyn van die na-koloniale leierskap in Mauritius die grondleggers was vir die vestiging van ideale van sosiale geregtigheid in die staat se politieke kultuur. In plaas van ’n ongebreidelde vrye mark ekonomie het die staat egter ’n sleutel rigtinggewende rol in die ontwikkeling van die ekonomie gespeel en om seker te maak dat die privaatsektor en arbeid vennote word om sleutel sosiale ekonomiese doelwitte te bereik. Dit is dus geen wonder dat die bestaande welvaartstaat in Mauritius nou verweef is met plaaslike verkiesingsverwagtinge nie en nie bloot ’n manier is om sosio-etniese onstabiliteit te verminder nie.

Full textAbstract:
Rainfall can be the most erosive agent with respect to rainfall induced erosion, particularly within the context of a tropical maritime environment. Mauritius provides an example of such an environment, which, due to its location and elevated topography, is subject to frequent erosive rainfall events as well as occasional cyclones which potentially threaten loss of soil and may accelerate land degradation. Such intense rainfall forms a key part of the “R-factor” in the USLE and RUSLE soil loss equations, which are commonly used worldwide in deriving the soil loss of an area. This project focuses on various attributes of rainfall erosivity on the central and western parts of Mauritius over a six year assessment period. A steep rainfall gradient exists; 600mm in the western plains and 4000mm per year in the higher central region. Rainfall and erosivity attributes are investigated in these two regions on the island to assess the role that topographic elevation has on rainfall erosivity. Using the EI30 method to find the “R-factor”, erosivity is calculated for the period of 2003 – 2008. Varying time intervals were used in calculating EI30 to determine the value that high resolution data has in erosivity calculations and is compared to the use of the Modified Fournier Index. This project also speculates on the potential impacts of changing rainfall intensity and erosivity associated with climate change in the future. A difference was found in the erosivity experienced in the elevated central interior and the rain-shadowed western lava plains. Stations on the western plains recorded 25% of the erosivity experienced by stations in the interior and large differences were found in the number of erosive events, rainfall, erosive rainfall totals, seasonality, and annual erosivity totals of erosivity. The central interior showed greater variability in R-factor values; however these remained similar in extent despite the large difference in total annual rainfall and the number of events that each station recorded. High resolution data did account for erosivity that lower resolution does not, but the extent of erosivity for all stations within the respective regions were markedly similar. Use of the Modified Fournier Index caused erosivity to be overestimated on the island when compared to the EI30 method. Changes in erosivity are speculated to occur with changes in rainfall intensities but the central interior of the island will notice fluctuations in climate (with respect to rainfall erosivity) more than the western plains.Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2012.
