Hassan, Samer. "Measuring Semantic Relatedness Using Salient Encyclopedic Concepts." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2011. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc84212/.
Full textAbstract:
While pragmatics, through its integration of situational awareness and real world relevant knowledge, offers a high level of analysis that is suitable for real interpretation of natural dialogue, semantics, on the other end, represents a lower yet more tractable and affordable linguistic level of analysis using current technologies. Generally, the understanding of semantic meaning in literature has revolved around the famous quote ``You shall know a word by the company it keeps''. In this thesis we investigate the role of context constituents in decoding the semantic meaning of the engulfing context; specifically we probe the role of salient concepts, defined as content-bearing expressions which afford encyclopedic definitions, as a suitable source of semantic clues to an unambiguous interpretation of context. Furthermore, we integrate this world knowledge in building a new and robust unsupervised semantic model and apply it to entail semantic relatedness between textual pairs, whether they are words, sentences or paragraphs. Moreover, we explore the abstraction of semantics across languages and utilize our findings into building a novel multi-lingual semantic relatedness model exploiting information acquired from various languages. We demonstrate the effectiveness and the superiority of our mono-lingual and multi-lingual models through a comprehensive set of evaluations on specialized synthetic datasets for semantic relatedness as well as real world applications such as paraphrase detection and short answer grading. Our work represents a novel approach to integrate world-knowledge into current semantic models and a means to cross the language boundary for a better and more robust semantic relatedness representation, thus opening the door for an improved abstraction of meaning that carries the potential of ultimately imparting understanding of natural language to machines.

Quand des humains cherchent des informations au sein de bases de connaissancesou de collections de documents, ils utilisent un système de recherche d'information(SRI) faisant office d'interface. Les utilisateurs doivent alors transmettre au SRI unereprésentation de leur besoin d'information afin que celui-ci puisse chercher des documentscontenant des informations pertinentes. De nos jours, la représentation du besoind'information est constituée d'un petit ensemble de mots-clés plus souvent connu sousla dénomination de " requête ". Or, quelques mots peuvent ne pas être suffisants pourreprésenter précisément et efficacement l'état cognitif complet d'un humain par rapportà son besoin d'information initial. Sans une certaine forme de contexte thématiquecomplémentaire, le SRI peut ne pas renvoyer certains documents pertinents exprimantdes concepts n'étant pas explicitement évoqués dans la requête.Dans cette thèse, nous explorons et proposons différentes méthodes statistiques, automatiqueset non supervisées pour la représentation du contexte thématique de larequête. Plus spécifiquement, nous cherchons à identifier les différents concepts implicitesd'une requête formulée par un utilisateur sans qu'aucune action de sa part nesoit nécessaire. Nous expérimentons pour cela l'utilisation et la combinaison de différentessources d'information générales représentant les grands types d'informationauxquels nous sommes confrontés quotidiennement sur internet. Nous tirons égalementparti d'algorithmes de modélisation thématique probabiliste (tels que l'allocationde Dirichlet latente) dans le cadre d'un retour de pertinence simulé. Nous proposonspar ailleurs une méthode permettant d'estimer conjointement le nombre de conceptsimplicites d'une requête ainsi que l'ensemble de documents pseudo-pertinent le plusapproprié afin de modéliser ces concepts. Nous évaluons nos approches en utilisantquatre collections de test TREC de grande taille. En annexes, nous proposons égalementune approche de contextualisation de messages courts exploitant des méthodesde recherche d'information et de résumé automatique

Full textAbstract:
Educational Psychology<br>Ph.D.<br>This longitudinal study assessed education achievement outcomes among a cohort of eighth graders for whom future college-level academic success would be predicted. The sample was drawn from the NELS:88 database and was comprised of students who scored in the top quintile on a mathematics achievement test and who were identified as representing the top two quartiles of a measurement of socio-economic status. This group, identified as low-risk for academic failure, was predicted to attain a bachelor's degree by the age of twenty-six. A subgroup from among this sample did not attain a bachelor's degree by age twenty-six. In the interest of illuminating features of latent vulnerability, differences between the two groups were explored. Data from the nationally representative sample of 2,355 students was analyzed using several approaches. Results suggest that certain vulnerabilities which may be considered to be dormant (e.g., negative self-concept), eventually have negative effects on academic outcomes for the non-graduating group despite predictions to the contrary. These adolescents exhibit features of latent vulnerability.<br>Temple University--Theses

Full textAbstract:
We live in a world of ever-increasing amounts of data. There is a need to devise better and increasingly automated systems for analyzing and utilising such data, from online data streams, for the purposes of classification and prediction. Across many domains such as banking, financial markets, network management and even in biomedical monitoring of pathogen sensitivity to drugs, the competitive edge is gained by those who act on their data fastest, most accurately and keep up to date with any changes occurring in their domain. This has led to the rise of research into online learners. These automated systems serve to train themselves on received data and discover rules for use in classification and prediction. They serve to keep those rules up to date as concept drift, i.e. changing of the underlying rules, occurs. However, to date, there has been little undertaken into research as to how latency in the data stream impacts upon such learning. This thesis examines the hypothesis that latency can have a substantial impact upon the performance of online learners operating on domains with concept drift, and, that key meta-data attributes describing example passage throughout the domain may help to resolve such issues. The thesis explores what it means to be a domain by developing a generic model. The assumptions that are applied in current research upon the nature of example arrival are considered and challenged. A framework, ELISE, for simulating various latency conditions for the purposes of experimenting with meta-data attributes relating to temporal events in the example life-cycle is developed. From this several online learner algorithmic and procedural approaches are tested as a potential solution to handling latency; based upon not just isolated examples but comprehension of the temporal nature of a data stream. Finally, future work is suggested for further improvements.

O objetivo desta Tese é analisar como Sergio Buarque de Holanda e Samuel Ramos Magaña trabalharam a ideia de \"revolução\", e entenderam as possibilidades de uma revolução, respectivamente, no Brasil e no México, no início do século XX. Consideram-se, para tanto, os ensaios mais célebres desses dois autores: Raízes do Brasil e El perfil del hombre y la cultura en México, ambos publicados pela primeira vez na década de 1930, mas, como clássicos, tantas vezes lidos e ressignificados por distintas gerações. Partindo de um dos grandes expoentes da História Intelectual, Dominick LaCapra, demonstra-se que as metodologias ali trabalhadas indicam uma preocupação pontual com a crítica dos modos de pensar e ser do brasileiro e do mexicano contemporâneos, reais. Partindo de um dos grandes expoentes da História dos Conceitos, Reinhart Koselleck, considera-se o ambiente em que foram escritos Raízes e El perfil, e demonstra-se que (entre ensaístas e vanguardistas) se encontram num meio-termo, entre volteios críticos produzidos por não-especialistas, e interpretações metodologicamente mais acuradas, consolidadas anos depois.<br>The purpose of this thesis is to analyze how Sergio Buarque de Holanda and Samuel Ramos Magaña worked the idea of \"revolution\" and understood the possibilities of a revolution, respectively, in Brazil and Mexico, in the beginning of twentieth century. We consider, therefore, the most celebrated essays of these two authors: Raízes do Brasil and El perfil del hombre y la cultura en México, both first published in the 1930\'s, being classics often read and resignified by different generations. Considering one of the great exponents of Intellectual History, Dominick LaCapra, this Thesis demonstrates that the methodology used by Holanda and Ramos indicate a timely concern with criticism of the real ways of thinking and being of contemporary brazilians and mexicans. Considering one of the great exponents of the History of Concepts, Reinhart Koselleck, it also reckons (pointing similarities and distinctions about other essayists works, and also literary vanguard productions) how Raízes and El perfil are a middle ground between reviews produced by non-specialists and methodologically-accurate interpretations consolidated years later.

Maintenir la paix et la sécurité internationales s'inscrivent parmi les objectifs prioritaires dans la Charte de l'Organisation des Nations Unies dès son article 1er. Ainsi en 1983, sous l'initiative des Gouvernements de la Colombie, du Mexique, du Panama, et du Venezuela-Appuyés par les 5 pays de l' Amérique Centrale, constituant un groupe d'initiative oeuvrant pour la paix dans l'Isthme. Un plan global de paix a été préparé sous l'auspice du président du Costa Rica, lequel lui a valu le prix Nobel de la paix en 1987. A la fin du conflit Est/Ouest l'ONU a crée l'ONUCA et l'ONUSAL. Deux ans après l'engagement de l'ONU dans la région, après la fin de la guerre froide, les militaires haïtiens ont déposé le président élu. Aux termes de la résolution 940 (1994) la MINUHA, créée par l'ONU, usant de moyens coercitifs, intervient en Haïti. Aujourd'hui encore, ces pays souffrent des conséquences de ces sanctions. Et le facteur de l'immigration représente un nouvel essor, s'ajoutant aux disparités économiques et sociales - le poids de la dette - le développement des trafics illicites de stupéfiants - le réveil des mouvements des Indiens (Chiapas) - l'accroissement des mouvements de terroristes. . . Ne constitent-ils pas de nouveaux facteurs d'instabilité? Pour que l'ONU puisse répondre à ses nouveaux défis à l'aube du 21ème siècle, de nouvelles stratégies entre les pays développés, l'ONU et les institutions internationales doivent être envisagées afin de dégager de nouvelles mesures sécuritaires, en tenant compte du problème des fractures sociales. Que l'ONU puisse utiliser ses compétences, conformément aux dispositions des chapitres VI et VII relatifs aux maintien et d'imposition de la paix ; en disposant au Conseil de sécurité des forces "préorganisées" comme le prévoit l'article 43 de la Charte.

Full textAbstract:
A partir da revisão da obra musicológica do intelectual brasileiro Mário de Andrade (1893-1945) foram estudadas as características do conceito de música popular. Vislumbraram-se as complexidades que intervieram na construção desse conceito polissêmico por meio da comparação entre o pensamento musical de Mário de Andrade e de alguns colegas latino-americanos. Este pesquisa diferencia entre o conceito de música popular, herdeiro da visão de mundo do romantismo oitocentista, e o surgimento de outro significado relacionado com a música que circulava nas cidades e que era difundida pelos modernos meios de comunicação eletrônicos. Com o passar do século XX, esse novo tipo de música popular urbana distanciou-se cada vez mais da noção romântica de música popular, e contribuiu na criação de tensões no interior do conceito. Os escritos de Mário de Andrade, sistemáticos e tematicamente variados, permitem ilustrar essas complexidades na construção de seu próprio conceito de música popular. Esta dissertação leva ao campo da historiografia musical latino-americana as discussões e debates historiográficos posteriores à década de 1970 acerca da construção da cultura popular derivada de uma elite acadêmica.<br>By reviewing the musicological work of the Brazilian intellectual Mário de Andrade (1893-1945), I research the meaning and characteristics of the concept of popular music in Brazil. I examine the construction of this polysemous concept through the comparison of de Andrades thinking about music with the one of some of his Latin American colleagues. My work differentiates between a meaning of popular music, heir of the romantic worldview of the nineteenth century, and the appearance of a different meaning related to urban music disseminated by the new electronic communication devices, in the twentieth century. On time, this new kind of popular urban music distanced itself from the romantic concept of popular music and created tensions within the concept itself. Mario de Andrades essays, systematic and thematically varied, illustrate the concomitant complexities in the construction of his popular music concept. This monograph takes the post-1970 historiographical discussions and debates about the construction of the popular culture, made by an academic elite, to the musical historiography field in Latin America.

Full textAbstract:
Circumscription and Compromise theory suggests self-concept and sex stereotype explain occupational preferences, including preferences for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Support exists for sex differences between males and females in both science degrees and science careers. The main thrust of observed sex differences in science lies in the development of occupational interest, as it has been suggested females are encouraged away from science due to stereotypes and social pressure. The present study evaluates high school juniors and seniors (n = 295) to explore their preference for science as indicated by science motivation, attitude, academic experience, and interest. Latent Profile Analysis was used to model profiles of preferences for science with a person-centered approach. Then, the impact of self-concept variables was explored and four profiles of science interest were identified. Sex differences were identified based on science interest, but were not always in favor of males. Covariate analysis indicates vocabulary ability and personality as significantly different for students in the high science interest profile. Implications of these results and future research directions are discussed.

Peut-on faire de la philosophie dans l'art ? Nous n'en donnons pas une réponse négative ou affirmative ; nous proposons plutôt trois zones d'indiscernabilité entre art et philosophie : le concept, l'écriture, la praxis. Le concept : nous étudions la question du concept à partir de la conceptualisation que Luis Camnitzer en fait principalement dans son livre "Didáctica de la liberación. Arte conceptualista latinoamericano". Dans ce texte Camnitzer cherche à décentrer la lecture du conceptualisme en partant de l'Amérique Latine. Nous essayons d'étudier les conséquences philosophiques de ce décentrement qui implique de revoir la relation entre des termes comme esthétique, concept, intellect... L'écriture : pour Camnitzer, un précurseur du conceptualisme artistique serait le philosophe vénézuélien Simon Rodríguez (1771-1854) le maitre de Bolívar. Rodríguez savait que la libération politique de l'Amérique devait être accompagné par une décolonisation culturelle. Ainsi Rodríguez se proposa de décoloniser la philosophie à travers l'écriture. L'écriture du philosophe vénézuélien rompt avec l'espace linéaire et homogène de la page typographique qui répond au modèle classique du discours : un discours linéaire, hiérarchique et irréversible sur lequel, selon Rodríguez, se fonde la pensée coloniale. Praxis : deux sens de la relation entre philosophie et praxis nous intéressent ici : la philosophie comme "exercice spirituel" (comme dirait Pierre Hadot), comme "esthétique de l’existence" (comme dirait Michel Foucault) et la philosophie comme praxis politique<br>Can we make philosophy in art ? We do not give a negative or affirmative answer ; rather, we propose three zones of indistinguishability between art and philosophy : the concept, the writing, the praxis.The concept : we study the question of the concept from the conceptualization that Luis Camnitzer does mainly in his book "Conceptualism in Latin American Art. Didactics of liberation". In this text Camnitzer seeks to decentralize the reading of conceptualism based in Latin America. We try to study the philosophical consequences of this decentering which involves reviewing the relationship between terms such as aesthetics, concept, intellect ...Writing : for Camnitzer, a forerunner of artistic conceptualism would be the Venezuelan philosopher Simon Rodríguez (1771-1854) the master of Bolívar. Rodríguez knew that the political liberation of America had to be accompanied by cultural decolonization. Thus Rodríguez proposed to decolonize philosophy through writing. The writing of the Venezuelan philosopher breaks with the linear and homogeneous space of the typographic page that responds to the classical model of discourse : a linear, hierarchical and irreversible discourse on which, according to Rodríguez, colonial thought is based. Praxis : two senses of the relationship between philosophy and praxis interest us here : philosophy as "spiritual exercise" (as Pierre Hadot would say), as "aesthetics of existence" (as Michel Foucault would say) and philosophy as political praxis

Previous issue date: 2012-02-01<br>The Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium on the Church, elaborated in the
Ecumenical Council Vatican II, recovers the concept "People of God" to qualify the
group of the baptisms believers, be them, clergyman, religious, nuns or lay. It was
promulgated by Pope Paulo VI on November 21, 1964, entering for the history of the
Church. as a "divisor of waters" in the theological subjects in ecclesiastical. That
study intends to deepen the understanding of that concept. In the itself text of the
studied document, there is the acknowledgement: "was pleased, however, to God to
sanctify and to save the men, no individually, excluding all the relationship among
them, but forming actually with them a people, that knew him in the truth and served
him in sanctity" (LG 09). Therefore, the concept People of God, it has biblical roots
that are essential in its recital, though, this study is more turn over to the subjects
ecclesiastical of the Council, the before, the during and the after, particularly in the
Church of Latin America.
The objective was to study the concept People of God starting from Lumen
Gentium cooperating so that the understanding of that concept can be enlarged
among the clergyman, religious persons and nons. It had as hypothesis to be proven
that the concept People of God present in the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church
from Conclílio Vatican II still is not understood completely in its significanse for many
baptisms believers. That study has used of the deductive method with bibliographical
researches. It has had also as theoretical references the Scriptures, the key
document in the discussions of the theme; a Lumen Gentum, as well as, other
documents of the Teachership, besides works and periodic articles about the subject.
With the development of that study it was verified that it is not still clearly
understood that concept, because the hypothesis that it is not still completely
understood the true meaning from the concept People of God, for many baptisms
believers it was confirmed<br>A Constituição Dogmática Lumen Gentium sobre a Igreja, elaborada no
Concílio Ecumênico Vaticano II, recupera o conceito Povo de Deus para qualificar
o conjunto dos fiéis batizados, sejam eles, clérigos, religiosos (as) ou leigos (as). Foi
promulgada pelo Papa Paulo VI no dia 21 de novembro de 1964, entrando para a
história da Igreja, como um divisor de águas nas questões teológicas sobre
eclesiologia. Esse estudo pretende aprofundar a compreensão desse conceito. No
próprio texto do documento estudado, encontram-se a afirmação: Aprouve, no
entanto, a Deus santificar e salvar os homens, não individualmente, excluindo toda a
relação entre eles, mas formando com eles um povo, que o conhecesse na verdade
e o servisse em santidade (LG 09). Portanto, o conceito Povo de Deus, tem suas
raízes bíblicas que são essenciais na sua fundamentação, todavia, este estudo está
mais voltado para as questões eclesiológicas do Concílio, o antes, o durante e o
depois, particularmente na Igreja da América Latina.
O objetivo foi estudar o conceito Povo de Deus, a partir da Lumen Gentium
cooperando para que a compreensão desse conceito possa ser ampliada entre os
clérigos, religiosos (as) e leigos (as). Teve como hipótese a ser comprovada a de
que o conceito Povo de Deus presente na Constituição Dogmática sobre a Igreja do
Concílio Vaticano II ainda não é totalmente compreendido no seu verdadeiro
significado por muitos fiéis batizados. Esse estudo utilizou-se do método dedutivo
com pesquisas bibliográficas. Teve também como referenciais teóricos as Sagradas
Escrituras, o documento chave nas discussões do tema; a Lumen Gentium, bem
como, outros documentos do Magistério, além de obras e artigos periódicos sobre o
assunto.
Com o desenvolvimento desse estudo verificou-se que ainda não é
claramente compreendido esse conceito, pois a hipótese de que ainda não é
totalmente compreendido o verdadeiro significado do conceito Povo de Deus, por
muitos fiéis batizados foi confirmada

Full textAbstract:
This study examines current trends of university counseling center utilization among Latino students at a large, private, western university. We examined counseling center data for Latino (n=1,231) and European American (EA) (n=18,125) students who presented for counseling services from 1996-2013. Latino students were divided into three subgroups, U.S. born Latino students (USB), international Latino students (IB), and Latino students who were born internationally but who are now U.S. citizens (IBUS). These three subgroups were compared with the EA student group on multiple variables; therapy utilization, length of treatment, Outcome Questionnaire (OQ) score at intake, OQ change, therapy usage by gender, and intake responses to the Family Concerns Survey and Presenting Problems Checklist. IB students presented for treatment with significantly higher levels of distress than any other group. EA students were more likely to attend therapy than any Latino subgroup. EA students also did not endorse any familial concerns or presenting problems at higher rates than any Latino subgroup. Further research is needed to understand why Latino subgroups are experiencing more distress and attend less treatment than EA counterparts and to look more in depth at resources for IB students, who appear to be the most at-risk Latino subgroup.

Esta dissertação apresenta uma reflexão sobre o intercâmbio artístico realizado entre São Paulo e Buenos Aires, no decorrer da década de 1970. Essa rede de trocas está focada no Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo (MAC USP), sob a gestão de Walter Zanini, e no Centro de Arte y Comunicación (CAYC), dirigido por Jorge Glusberg. Para tanto, iniciamos com um breve estudo sobre as políticas de modernização cultural na Argentina e no Brasil, desde a fundação das primeiras instituições de caráter moderno, nas décadas de 1950 e 1960. Nessa trajetória, traçamos os locais na Argentina onde houve o estímulo às novas vanguardas, desde a ascensão da pop art até a desmaterialização do objeto artístico. Sabemos que o MAC USP e o CAYC constituíram-se como plataformas interdisciplinares e multimídias fundamentais para a ampliação e o incentivo das práticas experimentais, sobretudo da arte conceitual. Desse modo, estabeleceram-se como importantes polos de arte contemporânea na América Latina nesse período. Procuramos analisar os interesses particulares de ambas as gestões, o perfil institucional e os mecanismos de divulgação e circulação das propostas conceituais amparadas pelas duas entidades. E, por fim, mapeamos a presença dos artistas argentinos do Grupo de los Trece, ligados ao CAYC, no acervo do MAC USP.<br>This dissertation offers a reflection on the artistic exchange occurred between Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires in the 1970s. This reciprocal network is centered in the University of Sao Paulos Museum of Contemporary Arte (MAC USP), under de auspice of Walter Zanini, and in Buenos Aires Art and Communication Center (CAYC), directed by Jorge Glusberg. We begin with a brief study of cultural modernization programs in Brazil and Argentina, as of the establishment of the first institutions of a modern nature, in the 1950s and 1960s. In this trajectory we map venues in which new avant-garde were stimulated, from the dawn of pop art to the dematerialization of the artistic object. We demonstrate that MAC USP and CAYC established essential interdisciplinary and multimedia platforms aiming at amplifying and motivating experimental practices, especially concept art, thus constituting important loci of contemporary art in Latin America at that time period. We aim to analyze the particular interests of each administration, their institutional profile and mechanisms to broadcast and promote conceptual propositions sustained by each organization. Finally, we trace the presence of Argentine artists of Grupo Los Trece, associated to CAYC, in MAC USPs collection.

Cette réflexion explore la question des genèses de ces concepts qui, déjà au IIe siècle, sont employés par les pères de l’Église, Grecs et Latins, dans le contexte des communautés ecclésiales naissantes. Ces réflexions s’intéressent en même temps au domaine des premières doctrines autour de la pratique d’adoucissement de la rigueur des règles qui régissaient l’Église en ses débuts ; pratique à la fois spirituelle et pastorale. Le deuxième temps que propose cette dissertation doctorale s’inscrit dans l’apport scientifique et canonistique des collections canoniques du XIIe au XIVe siècle, celles notamment de Gratien et du ius novum après Gratien. À partir de XIIe siècle, le concept de dispense bénéfice d’une canonicité qui lui confère un statut canonique. Elle devient ainsi une institution du droit latin encore en gestation au milieu du Moyen-âge. La dispense est comprise dans un troisième temps comme une question revisitée au second concile du Vatican et par la codification contemporaine de 1983. Dans le cadre de l’aggiornamento proposé par Vatican II et dans une atmosphère apaisée, l’institution de la dispense retrouve l’idée originale d’une aide philanthropique, d’un acte de charité, d’une indulgence, d’une miséricorde. Elle est, pour les canonistes et pour les autorités ecclésiastiques, une institution de la guérison et du salut<br>The notion, the status and the ‘revisited question’ of the canonical dispensation in the tradition of the Latin Church are the three axes of reflection proposed in this doctoral study. These three axes of research form what we call: the canonical tradition of dispensation in the Latin Catholic Church. The first period of reflection touches the notions of dispensatio and οίκονομία, and explores the question of the genesis of these concepts which were already in use in the second century by the Greek and Latin Fathers of the Church, in the context of the emerging ecclesial communities. These axes of reflection also concern the elaboration of the first doctrines relative to the practice of relaxing the rigor of the rules which governed the primitive Church both on a spiritual and pastoral level. The second axis of this doctoral dissertation focuses upon the scientific and canonistic contribution of canonical collections from the 12th to the 14th centuries, particularly those of Gratian and ius novum after Gratian. From the 12th century onwards, the concept of dispensation benefited from a “canonicity” that confers a canonical status. It thus becomes an institution of Latin Canonical law which was still being elaborated in the height of the Middle Ages. The question of dispensation is included in a third axis of reflection as ‘revisited’ during the second Vatican Council and by the contemporary codification of 1983. Within the framework of the aggiornamento proposed by Vatican II and in a calm atmosphere, the institution of dispensation finds once again it’s original meaning as a philanthropic aid, an act of charity, an indulgence, or a mercy. Indeed for canonists and for ecclesiastical authorities alike the dispensation is considered to be an institution of healing and of salvation

La structure et le processus de formation des traces latentes dans le poly (allyl diglycol carbonate), PADC, ont été étudiés par spectroscopie FT-IR et par simulation Monte Carlo. La quantité de groupes OH formés est équivalente à la quantité de disparition des groupes éther. L’utilisation de radiations à faible TLE a prouvé que les fonctions carbonyle ne disparaissent que lorsque deux électrons au minimum interagissent avec une seule unité de répétition du polymère. Les résultats obtenus avec des protons de haute énergie permettent de comprendre la différence entre des traces révélables et non-révélables. Sur la base de ces résultats, un nouveau concept physique de Fluence Electronique Radiale autour de la Trace d’un Ion, défini comme la densité d'électrons secondaires qui traversent une surface cylindrique de rayon donné, est proposé pour décrire le seuil de détection du PADC en utilisant le code Geant4-DNA. Les connaissances acquises sont utiles pour trouver des agencements moléculaires appropriés pour de nouveaux détecteurs de sensibilités désirées<br>The structure and formation process of latent tracks in poly(allyl diglycol carbonate), PADC, have been examined using the combination of FT-IR spectrometry and a Monte Carlo simulation. The generation amount of OH groups is almost equivalent to the loss amount of ether. An important role of the secondary electron that the carbonyl can be broken only when more than two electrons pass through a single repeat unit is clarified by experiments using low LET radiations. Results of high energy protons lead us to the elucidation of the difference between etchable and un-etchable tracks. Based on these results, a new physical concept of Radial Electron Fluence around Ion Tracks, which is defined as the number density of secondary electron that pass through the cylinder surface with a certain radius is proposed for the detection threshold of PADC using Geant4-DNA. Obtained knowledge is helpful to find appropriate molecule arrangements for new etched track detector with desired sensitivities

Assuming the existence of a semiotics of ideas, this dissertation argues that cognitive links between concepts are stored in a

Overcoming prejudices and pre-ideas in the formulation of rules of interaction with the regional environment is the greatest challenge in order to develop regional security policies that meet the specificities of each geographical area. The contemporary South American project offers an example of creative regional

Previous issue date: 2015-03-24<br>In 1492, the Spanish arrived in the so-called New World, known today as Latin America, in search of wealth. For such a purpose, they quickly implemented their government system, culture and religion through war, whose historical concept was reformulated and applied. The concept of fair war in Latin America, between 1482 and 1566, was developed from the history of the Roman conquest, the Aristotelian philosophy, Augustines and Thomas Aquinas theology, the Scripture and weapons. Upon advancing in areas occupied by the indigenous peoples, the concept of fair war brought about harmful effects. Deaths of innocents, trespassing of lands, wealth possession, slavery, destruction of culture and religion of the indigenous and all sorts of violence took place against the indigenous peoples. As part of this scenario, Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda, the author of Democrates Alter, which embraced the concept of fair war, had the Dominican friar Bartholomew de Las Casas as his opponent, who valiantly struggled in favor of the indigenous peoples. Another theologian, Francisco de Vitoria, from the University of Salamanca, also belongs to the historical portrait. Vitoria created the Derecho Natural y de Gentes, which supported Sepúlveda and Las Casas in their doctrines. Effectively, Sepúlveda achieved his goal. Christianity was implemented through violence. In response, Las Casas wrote Del único modo de atraer a todos los pueblos a la verdadera religión, a peace-oriented form of Christianity. Both missionary projects conceived by Sepúlveda and Las Casas defined the two ecclesiastic hermeneutics in Latin America until the XIX Century, when a new mission proposal was brought forward by the protestants.<br>Em 1492, com o objetivo de adquirir riquezas e expansão territorial, os espanhóis chegaram à América Latina. Para tanto, rapidamente implantaram o seu sistema de governo, cultura e religião. Este processo só foi possível por meio da guerra. Para legitimá-la, foi necessário a reelaboração e a inversão de um antigo conceito de guerra e a sua consequente instauração nas terras recém ocupadas. O uso do conceito de Guerra Justa na América Latina, entre os anos1492 a 1566, fundamentava-se na história das conquistas romanas, filosofia de Aristóteles, teologia de Agostinho e Tomás de Aquino, nas leis jurídicas, Escrituras Sagradas e nas armas. Ao ser aplicado nas províncias indígenas, o conceito de Guerra Justa proporcionou efeitos trágicos pela sua violência. Ocorreram mortes de inocentes, invasão das terras, posse das riquezas, escravidão, destruição da cultura e da religião dos indígenas. Diante destes fatores, as divergências e debates tornaram-se inevitáveis. Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda, o autor do Democrates Alter, tratado que hospeda o conceito de Guerra Justa, teve como opositor tanto na Espanha quanto na América Latina, o frei dominicano Bartolomé de Las Casas que lutou a favor dos indígenas frente a injustiça da guerra deflagrada pelos conquistadores espanhóis e da cristianização por meio das armas. Entre esses dois controversistas encontra-se outro teólogo-jurista, catedrático da Universidade de Salamanca, Francisco de Vitoria. Vitoria elaborou o Derecho Natural y de Gentes, obra que concedeu a Sepúlveda e Las Casas argumentos para fundamentar suas doutrinas. A julgar pelos resultados duradouros da conquista, Sepúlveda atingiu seus objetivos. A cristandade foi implantada em substituição às religiões dos nativos e os interesses políticos e econômicos dos conquistadores, entrementes, foram concretizados. Las Casas, por sua vez, ao discordar desse método, propôs, em sua obra, Del único modo de atraer a todos los pueblos a la verdadera religión, uma cristianização pacífica que se conduzisse somente por meio da pregação do evangelho e da fé cristã. Para chegarem a essa posição, ambos os controversistas analisaram as fontes e tradições literárias aristotélica, agostiniana e tomista, em especial. O projeto missionário colonial vislumbrado por Sepúlveda e Las Casas, definiu as duas hermenêuticas eclesiásticas presentes na América Latina que se estenderam até o século XIX quando aportou-se na América uma nova proposta de missão através dos protestantes.

Ljungkvist, Malin, and Mariell Sandén. "Latensfasen - i samband med graviditet och förlossning : En begreppsanalys." Thesis, Högskolan Dalarna, Sexuell, reproduktiv och perinatal hälsa, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:du-27902.
Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: En förlossning inleds med en latensfas som övergår till en aktiv fas och sedan till ett utdrivningsskede. Latensfasen kan vara svår att definiera kliniskt och kan variera så pass mycket att det inte finns ett normalt intervall och som begrepp är latensfasen otydlig. Syfte: Syftet var att få en fördjupning i begreppet latensfas i samband med graviditet och förlossning. Metod: Denna studie är en begreppsanalys som utgår från Walker Olszewski och Avant Coalsons modell för att kunna göra en fördjupning i det valda begreppet latensfas. I studien gjordes både en teoretisk fas och en fältstudiefas där fem barnmorskor verksamma inom förlossningsvård och mödrahälsovård intervjuades. Resultat: För att begreppet latensfas ska kunna existera behövs förutsättningar, till exempel graviditet och symtom på förlossningsarbete. Och ett resultat av begreppet blir en konsekvens, till exempel sjukhusvård. Latensfasen är en fas som är diffus och svårbedömd för många barnmorskor, ofta måste den födande kvinnan komma in för undersökning för att veta var i förlossningsarbetet hon befinner sig. Kriterier för när latensfasen övergår till aktiv fas varierar stort internationellt och kvinnor upplever latensfasen olika i intensitet och längd. Därför är det viktigt att barnmorskan är förstående och ger ett bra stöd. Slutsats: Under studiens gång har fem attribut hittats, diffus smärta och molande mensvärk, korta och oregelbundna sammandragningar, styrka och kraft i sammandragningarna, smärtsamma sammandragningar, ingen eller liten progress på livmoderhalsen och livmodermunnen, utan dessa attribut kan inte latensfasen existera. Klinisk tillämpbarhet: Med studien önskar vi att bland annat skapa trygghet och minska förvirring hos kvinnan genom att begreppet latensfas används likvärdigt bland barnmorskor.<br>Background: A childbirth begins with a latent phase that goes into an active phase and then into the delivery stage of childbirth. The latent phase can be difficult to define clinically and can vary so much that there is no normal interval and the latent phase of labor is unclear as a concept.Aim: The aim was to increase an understanding of the concept latent phase of labor relating to pregnancy and childbirth.Methods: This study is a concept analysis and to increase the understanding of the chosen concept, latent phase of labor, the study is based on Walker Olszewski and Avant Coalson's mode. The study included both a theoretical phase and a field study phase where five midwives in obstetrics and maternity care were interviewed.Results: In order for the concept of latent phase of labor to exist, conditions are needed, for example pregnancy and symptoms of labor. And a result of the concept becomes a consequence, for example hospital care. The latent phase of labor is a phase that is diffuse and difficult for many midwives to judge, the woman must almost always come in for examination to know where in labor progress she is. Criteria for when the latent phase of labor passes to active phase varies widely internationally and women experience the latent phase of labor differently in intensity and length. Therefor it is important that the midwife is understanding and provides moral support.Conclusion: Five attributes have been found during the study, diffuse pain and distressing menstruation pain, short and irregular contractions, strength and force in the contractions, painful contractions, nothing or a small progress on the cervix, the latent phase of labor cannot exist without these attributes.Clinical applicability: With this study we wish to create comfort and reduce confusion among women by making the concept latent phase equally among midwifes.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse étudie le droit pendant les sept siècles de son existence. Apparu au Ve siècle av. J. -C. , il disparut en 212 ap. J. -C. , quand tous les pérégrins de l’empire furent finalement faits citoyens romains. Le recours à la documentation archéologique a permis de faire une analyse nouvelle des difficultés retenues par l’historiographie antérieure. Quant à l’étude chronologique sur la longue durée, elle a révélé que le droit latin, inventé par Rome, fut plusieurs fois modifié par elle pour s’adapter à des situations nouvelles : au fond, la condition latine servit à préparer des peuples de culture différentes à entrer dans la cité romaine ; aussi peut-on dire que le droit latin fut l’instrument pacifique de l’intégration progressive des peuples soumis dans la cité mère. Le droit latin était toujours octroyé à des collectivités et cette concession entraînait pour les communautés bénéficiaires l’adoption d’institutions de type romain, tant privées que publiques. Cette thèse montrera qu’il est impossible d’imaginer le droit latin en-dehors d’un cadre urbain : on ne saurait, notamment, en faire une espèce de privilège personnel. C’est l’adoption du modèle urbain romain par des communautés de statuts divers qui sera le vecteur de leur assimilation. A partir de la fin de la république, Rome sut exporter la condition latine lors de l’Italie et l’utilisa pour assimiler à leur tour les provinces occidentales de son empire, processus qui aboutit à la naturalisation générale de 212 ap. J. -C. .

We present hereafter the development of the Liebherr Intelligent Hydraulic Cylinder, in which the hydraulic component is used as smart sensing element providing useful information for the system in which the cylinder is operated. The piston position and velocity are the most important signals derived from this new measuring approach. The performance under various load and temperature conditions (measured both on dedicated test facilities and in field in a real machine) will be presented. An integrated control electronics, which is performing the cylinder state processing, additionally allows the synchronized acquisition of external sensors. Providing comprehensive state information, such as temperature and system pressure, advanced control techniques or monitoring functions can be realized with a monolithic device. Further developments, trends and benefits for the system architecture will be briefly analyzed and discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis une vingtaine d'années, la linguistique historique est indéniablement marquée du sceau de l'Amérique. Le phénomène de convergence des travaux pluridisciplinaires de l'"Ecole de Stanford" (regroupant Luigi Cavalli-Sforza, généticien, Colin Renfrew, archéologue et Merritt Ruhlen, linguiste) plus communément appelé "Nouvelle Synthèse" en est la preuve la plus incontournable. Leurs travaux, ainsi que ceux de leurs partisans, convergent vers un seul but : comprendre l'origine de l'Homme par l'étude de sa diversité génétique, culturelle et linguistique. Bien sûr, une telle convergence n'est pas le fruit d'une création spontanée, elle résulte d'un lent processus qui, depuis l'étude des langues amérindiennes par Swadesh et Greenberg, n'a jamais cessé de faire converger linguistique, archéologie et génétique. D'ailleurs, Merritt Ruhlen, pilier linguistique de la "Nouvelle Synthèse" doit beaucoup aux travaux de ces derniers (e. G. Développement du concept de vocabulaire de base au sein de la glottochronologie (Swadesh), développement de la méthode de comparaison multilatérale (Greenberg). . . ). Ainsi, en nous focalisant sur cette succession des méthodes de classification linguistique, nous pouvons mener une réflexion centrée autours de trois points essentiels : - Comment ces méthodologies ont-elles emergé i. E. Quels en ont été les facteurs déclencheurs ? - Quelle est la valeur tant théorique que méthodologique ? - Comment cette succession de méthodes de classification linguistique a-t-elle aboutit à l'émergence de la "Nouvelle Synthèse" ? Sur ces bases, l'objectif de ce travail est double : - Opérer une description minutieuse des méthodologies employées par les linguistes américains (Swadesh, Greenberg, Ruhlen) et analyser les liens méthodologiques et théoriques qui les unissent afin d'étudier la construction lente mais implacable de la "Nouvelle Synthèse"; - D'expliquer par l'étude de quelques aspects génétiques et archéologiques, quelques une de ses limites<br>For about twenty years now, american comparative linguistics has undeniably left its mark on world-wide linguistics. The phenomenon of convergence of multi-field works such as those of the Shool of Stanford (bringing together Luigi Cavalli-Sforzan (genetics), Colin Renfrew (archeaology) and Merritt Ruhlen (linguistics) a. K. A "New Synthesis" is one of the best proofs. Theirs works, like those their partisans, converge towards only one goal : to understand the origin of Mankind by the study of its genetic, cultural and linguistic diversity. Of course, such a convergence is not a spontaneous creation, it is the result of a slow process whom, from amerindian languages studies of Swadesh and Greenberg, ceased never making converge linguistic, archaeology and genetics. Furthermore, Merritt Ruben, linguistic leader of the "New Synthesis", owes much to them (e. G. Concept of basic vocabulary, development of the multilateral comparison). So, on focusing on this succession of methods of linguistic classification, we can carry out a reflection centered on three essential points : - How have emerged these methodologies ? - What about their theoritical and methodological value ? - How this succession of linguistic classifications has allowed the emergence of the "New Synthesis" ? On these basis, the aim of this work is twofold : - To make a precise description of the methodologies used by american linguistis (Swedesh, Greenberg and Ruhlen) and to analyse the methodological and theoritical links which may exist between them so as to understand the slowly and implacable construction of the "New Synthesis". - To explain, by the study of some genetic and archaeological aspects, some one of its limits

Full textAbstract:
Farm and industry workers are a growing population in the United States (U.S.) and are critical to the success of the agriculture industry. In 1993, the Migrant Legal Services estimated that there were 42,000 migrant and seasonal farm workers in the state of Virginia (Wilson, 1998). These workers are essential in the state's production of fruits, vegetable crops, and poultry. The 1995 National Agricultural Worker Survey (NAWS) indicated that 80% of farm workers in the U.S. are of Latino origin. Data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES) reveals that Hispanics in the U.S. are at a greater risk for developing serious health problems, such as tuberculosis, cancer, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, than the general population (HHANES, 1990). Latino farm and industry workers are reported to be at a high risk or developing nutrition-related health problems as a result of their low socioeconomic status and migratory lifestyles (Loria et al., 1995). Farm and industry workers also are at an increased risk of food insecurity due to low incomes, low literacy, poor health, migratory lifestyles, and lack of transportation (Shotland, 1989). The evidence from the literature suggest that long work hours, low wages, inconsistent work opportunities, and linguistic and cultural barriers may make it difficult for Latino farm/industry workers to meet their nutritional needs (Kowalski et al., 1999). About 30% to 40% of the Latino population fails to meet the minimum nutrient standards of the World Health Organization primarily due to poverty (Kittler and Suchar, 1998). A study was conducted to assess the nutrition, health, and food security problems, concerns, and perceived barriers of Latino farm/industry workers in Virginia because Virginia Cooperative Extension is concerned about the nutrition and health status of this important agricultural workforce. Triangulation techniques employing qualitative (focus group discussions and participatory activities) and quantitative (questionnaires) methodologies were utilized. Six focus group sessions were conducted with a total of 51 Latino farm/industry workers. Lack of money, time, transportation, and linguistic barriers were predominant themes that emerged from the focus group discussions related to health and nutrition concerns and barriers. Farm workers reported osteoporosis, anemia, urinary tract infections, and HIV/AIDS as top health concerns. Industry workers indicated gastritis, arthritis, and cancer as their top health concerns. Apples, bananas, oranges, and watermelon were the most commonly consumed fruits. Beans, tomatoes/onions, potatoes, and chili peppers were the most commonly consumed vegetables. Participants indicated that they preferred learning about health and nutrition from non-interactive sources, such as cassettes, radio, brochures, and television, due to lack of time and their migratory lifestyles. The Cornell/Radimer Food Security Questionnaire was administered to assess hunger and food insecurity. Approximately 98% of the 49 Latino farm and industry workers surveyed suffer from food insecurity. Females were more food insecure when compared to males. Data obtained from this study will be used to develop useful and culturally appropriate nutrition education strategies to improve dietary habits and overall health and nutrition status of Latino farm/industry workers and their families.<br>Master of Science

Previous issue date: 2016-03-17<br>This master research has as a goal to analyse the concept of revelation on the Latin-
Americam theology, from the approach of Jo?o Batista Libanio theologian. It will verify how
Libanio systematized the notion of revelation in the Teology of the release and which
implications of this systematization for the Christian praxis and for the theology itself. For
that, it approaches in the first chapter, the notion of revelation in the conciliar magisterium
since the Council of Trent to the Council of Vatican II, reaching the corresponding
translation of this concept in Latin-American Theology, specially through the approach done
by Libanio. The second chapter tries to understand how Libanio creates the concept of
revelation within the logical of historical liberation and which categories the author uses to
see the divine action in the human history. The third chapter, according to Libanio?s theology, thematizes the revelation in the view of the option for the poor people,from the disclosure of the poverty as consequence of the sin and from the Basics Ecclesial Communities.) CEBs. Finally, in the last chapter, tries to show the God?s image that emerge from one view of revelation from the context of preferential option for the poor people and by its release and as Libanio, starting from God?s idea who reveals himself in the release of the poor people, he tries to elaborate one new Fundamental Theology.<br>A presente pesquisa de mestrado tem como objetivo analisar o conceito de revela??o na teologia latino-americana, a partir da abordagem do te?logo Jo?o Batista Libanio.

Pour cela, notre revue de littérature s'intéresse aux concepts attitudinaux du comportement de réponse d'un client ainsi qu'aux modèles de typologies des clientèles et des offres. Nous développons des classes d'offres promotionnelles permettant de regrouper simultanément les clients d'une entreprise et les offres auxquelles ils répondent. Puis, nous étudions les effets des dimensions sous-jacentes révélées par la typologie des offres, telles que l'attractivité perçue des offres et la propension d'un client à répondre aux promotions sur la réponse. Sur le plan méthodologique, nous avons recours à une classification des offres promotionnelles réalisée à partir de la méthode de classification par les classes latentes. De plus, nous employons une modélisation structurelle pour étudier l'influence des concepts latents sur ces classes d'offres. Les résultats de la recherche montrent, qu'au sein d'une clientèle d'entreprise de vente à distance, il subsiste des classes d'individus prédisposés à répondre à des offres considérées comme ayant un attrait similaire. La recherche conclue que l'attractivité perçue des offres et la propension à répondre aux promotions représentent deux concepts latents, distincts et influençant simultanément la réponse d'un client à une proposition commerciale. Sur la base de ces résultats, il est permis d'identifier plusieurs contributions ainsi que diverses voies de recherche futures<br>This research, applied to the context of mail-order business, focuses on the adaptability of promotional offers through the management of unobserved heterogeneity in customers' responses. Thus, our Iiterature review is dedicated to the attitudinal concepts of customers' response behaviour, as weil as to the existing segmentation models of customers and offers. We develop classes of promotional offers allowing to simultaneously regrouping the customers and the offers to which they respond. Then, we investigate the effects of latent dimensions revealed by the offer segmentation, such as the attractiveness of promotions and the deal proneness of customers on the response. From a methodological point of view, we use a latent classes based method for classifying the promotional off ers. Moreover, we employa structural model to study the influence of the latent concepts on the classes of promotional off ers. The results of the research reveal, within customers of mail-order business company, there remains individual classes prone to the off ers considered as having a similar attraction. According to the conclusions of this research, the attractiveness of promotions and the deal proneness represent two distinct latent concepts simultaneously influencing customers' response to promotional off ers. Based upon these results, it is possible to identify several contributions. Directions for future research are then proposed

Previous issue date: 2017-02-10<br>CAPES<br>Essa dissertação examina a variação longitudinal dos usos dos conceitos de América Latina e de América do Sul no discurso da diplomacia brasileira. O objetivo principal é demonstrar como a diplomacia nacional, em sua vertente presidencial e profissional, operacionalizou ambos os conceitos. Para isso, foram analisados 6.523 pronunciamentos disponibilizados nas Resenhas de Política Exterior do Brasil de 1995 a 2014. Primeiro, os fatores ideacionais utilizados foram definidos e depois foi empreendido um retorno histórico baseado em ciclos de longa duração para demonstrar as oscilações conceituais e o ponto de origem do problema dessa pesquisa. Em seguida, foram elucidados os argumentos e autores a partir dos quais as duas hipóteses de trabalho surgiram, as mesmas foram testadas através de uma perspectiva metodológica focada na Análise de Conteúdo e nas medidas descritivas populacionais. Dentre os resultados obtidos, o primeiro indicou que o conceito de América do Sul foi, em média, 57,6 vezes mais mencionado do que o conceito de América Latina. O segundo demonstrou que a diplomacia da Era Lula falou, em média, 326,2 vezes mais em termos sul-americanos do que a diplomacia da Era FHC e 370,8 vezes a mais do que a diplomacia do primeiro mandato de Dilma. Por fim, alguns eventos citados como paradigmáticos pelos autores tiveram o seu grau de saliência analisado. Desse modo, foram originadas novas evidências empíricas para o debate sobre a sul-americanização da Política Externa Brasileira.<br>This dissertation assesses longitudinal variation between the uses of the concepts of Latin America and South America in the discourse of Brazilian diplomacy. The main objective is to demonstrate how the national diplomacy, both presidential and professional, operationalized these concepts. In order to do so, we analyzed 6.523 pronouncements available in documents called Resenhas de Política Exterior do Brasil from 1995 to 2014. First of all, a definition of the ideational factors used was carried out. Then, a historical return based on long-term cycles was undertaken to demonstrate the conceptual oscillations and the origin of the problem of this research. The subsequent step was to introduce the arguments and the authors from which both hypotheses have emerged. Afterward, through a methodological perspective based on Content Analysis and descriptive measures for population, the hypotheses were tested. From this point, a set of results was obtained. The first indicated that the concept of South America was used 57.6 times more than the concept of Latin America, on average. The second result showed that diplomacy of Lula’s years spoke, on average, 326.2 times more in South American terms than diplomacy of FHC‟s years and 370.8 times more than diplomacy of President Dilma’s first term. Lastly, some events cited as paradigmatic by the authors had their degree of salience analyzed. Therefore, new empirical evidence was provided to the debate about the south-americanization of Brazilian Foreign Policy.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is to analyze the concept of autonomy, taking as the case study Brazil under the Workers Party Government (2003-2016). Approach that will be taken aims at combining perspectives of Latin-American structuralism with those of realism and interdependency. Thesis essentially concentrates on two specific issue areas: global economy and international politics. By constructing a theoretical framework, I aspire to identify and analyze various factors considered to have a direct impact on the study matter. In doing so, I consider the behavior of distinct variables and their effect on the degree of autonomy. Finally, thesis addresses problems of international insertion for peripheral countries, considering possibilities and limits of truly autonomous action.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail porte à la fois sur le droit international public et le droit de l'environnement. Il est consacré au concept de "ressource naturelle partagée" et son application à la gestion internationale de ressources en eau, notamment entre les pays d'Amérique du sud. Il s'agit d'une analyse de ce concept aussi bien dans des conventions bilatérales et multilatérales que dans le cadre du projet relatif au droit sur l'utilisation harmonieuse des "ressources naturelles partagées" (élabore par le programme des nations unies pour l'environnement) et de celui de la commission du droit international sur le droit relatif à l'utilisation des fleuves internationaux à des fins autres que la navigation. Une première partie, plutôt conceptuelle, est consacrée à l'eau "ressource partagée", c'est à dire, à l'évolution de l'approche juridique des fleuves internationaux et aux problèmes découlant de la prise en compte fragmentée de la ressource. La deuxième partie concerne, dans une approche plus pragmatique, la mise en œuvre du concept dans la gestion des bassins du plat et de l'amazone ; mais aussi de son application de plus en plus étendue a des régions autres (par exemple, dans les bassins du rio grande et du Mékong) et a d'autres ressources que l'eau (celles chevauchant les frontières ou celles situées au-delà des juridiction nationales)<br>This study, in the field of both public international law and environmental law, deals with the concept of "shared natural resources" and its application in the joint management of water resources, especially among south American countries. "shared natural resources" is a concept established in the seventies, and was used in various bilateral and multilateral treaties, particularly those concerning the production of hydroelectric power. Some treaties are analyzed, as well as the united nations environmental program draft principles concerning the harmonious utilization of shared natural resources, and the international law commission draft project on the law concerning the utilization of international rivers. The study is divided in two parts. The first one deals with water as a "shared resource", that is, the evolution of the juridical approach of international rives and the problems arising from a fragmented perception of water resources. The second part studies, in a more pragmatic way, the application of the concept in the joint management of the plata and amazon basins. It also presents the use of the concept in other parts of the world (especially in the Rio Grande and Mekong basins) and in the field of resources other than water (straddling resources and resources above national jurisdictions)

Para tanto, observa e compara os fundamentos racionais-legais de modelos históricos e teóricos de estados nacionais europeus a formas de organização sociais e políticas do império teocrático Inca (Tahuantinsuyu) e da sociedade tribal Tupinambá em tempos pré-coloniais. Caracterizado principalmente por deter o monopólio legítimo dos meios de violência, o estado nacional secular de origem européia é observado em contraste à lógica de organização coletiva dos mundos sul-americanos pré-coloniais, com o intuito de contribuir para o debate teórico sobre o conceito de legitimidade e diferentes formas de organização política de sociedades humanas. Utilizando referenciais da teoria política moderna e a metodologia dos tipos ideais weberianos, dois elementos fundamentais do estado nacional (monopólio dos meios de violência e legitimação pelo ethos racional-legal) são problematizados em contraste ao Tahuantinsuyu teocrático da região andina e à sociedade tribal Tupinambá da atual costa brasileira antes do contato colonial. Esta tese busca, portanto, entender em que medida havia os dois principais elementos característicos dos estados em geral: uso de mecanismos para manter as sociedades agregadas (seja este mecanismo a força física ou a crença) e legitimação desses mecanismos. Com auxílio das categorias weberianas, o objetivo é ampliar o escopo de análises sobre estado nacional para um âmbito comparativo de interpretações de estudos históricos sobre diferentes culturas e formas de organização política. Assim, é possível verificar como o conhecimento sobre organizações políticas sulamericanas pré-coloniais é capaz de contribuir para a compreensão e o aprofundamento de conceitos fundamentais em teoria política, e no caso desta tese, o conceito de legitimidade. ________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT<br>This thesis analyzes the pertinence of the concept of legitimacy in different types of political organization, especially concerning the presence or absence of institucionalized governmental structures. In order to observe this phenomenom, it compares the fundamental elements of historical and theoretical legal-rational state models to the pre-colonial political organizations of the theocratic Inca Empire (Tahuantinsuyu) and the Tupinambá tribal society. Since european-origin secular models of national states are usually characterized by the legitimate monopoly of means of violence, they are observed in contrast to the two South American Pre-Columbian worlds mentioned above, in an effort to contribute to the theoretical debate over the concept of legitimacy and different forms of human social and political organizations. By the use of references in modern political theory and the weberian-ideal types methodology, two fundamental elements of the national state (monopoly of the means of physical coercion and legitimacy by legal-rational values) are contrasted to the theocratic logic of Tahuantinsuyu in the Andes and the Tupinambá tribal society in the Atlantic coast before colonial contact. Since this thesis aims to understand political organizations, it analyzes up until what point did these two amerindian societies contain two of the basic elements that characterize states in general: the use of specific mechanisms to keep the group together by force of belief systems, and the legitimacy of such mechanisms. With the help of weberian categories, the goal is to broaden the analytical scope of national state studies to a comparative level of the interpretation of historical objects and the political organization of different cultures. In this sense, it is possible to try to verify how studies about political organization in Pre-Columbian South America may contribute to the understanding of fundamental concepts in political theory - in this case, the concept of legitimacy.

Full textAbstract:
La expresión “regionalismo abierto”, ha tenido un gran realce en la literatura de comercio internacional desde que se originó en el contexto de la cooperación económica entre los países de Asia - Pacífico en la década de 1970. Sin embargo, su auge tuvo lugar en Latinoamérica en los años noventa influido fuertemente por la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL). El término regionalismo abierto ha sido ampliamente utilizado en el marco de la política exterior de los países del ABC (Argentina, Brasil y Chile) con diferentes énfasis, ya sea por factores externos como las coyunturas internacionales o factores internos como la sensibilidad del gobierno. En este contexto, se evidenciaron cambios en la significación y utilización, por ejemplo fue usado como pretexto para favorecer la integración regional, también para justificar la inserción económica internacional e incluso para favorecer la firma de tratados de libre comercio, entre otros. En consecuencia, no existe consenso sobre qué se entiende por regionalismo abierto ni cómo utilizarlo, no es un concepto dado ni estático en el tiempo, sino más bien se aprecian una serie de acciones en política exterior que permiten comprender, a través de los discursos y actuaciones, las implicancias de la resignificación y su grado de institucionalización desde su apogeo en la década de los noventa hasta su utilización actual. La utilidad de esta investigación exploratoria - descriptiva radica en sistematizar y analizar de manera comparada, desde la dimensión sociocognitiva, las nociones de regionalismo abierto que se presentan en Argentina, Brasil y Chile entre los años 1990 – 2010, constatando la significación y relevancia del concepto en la política exterior de los países en perspectiva histórica. Los principales hallazgos realizados apuntan a que la significación del regionalismo abierto tiene directa relación con factores domésticos, siendo el principal el modelo de desarrollo del país y es altamente influenciado por factores externos, donde la importancia otorgada por los organismos internacionales resultó clave.

Full textAbstract:
L'ouvrage s'inscrit dans une perspective diachronique très large et vise à cerner, dans l'histoire de la pensée occidentale, essentiellement gréco-latine et française, l'évolution du concept de trope, d'abord entrevu dans la metaphora aristotélicienne, puis défini plus précisément par la rhétorique antique qui utilise le terme dans son sens technique au moins à partir du 1er siècle avant J. -C. La notion se retrouve sous des appellations diverses à l'époque moderne et contemporaine : figure de signification, de sens, langage figuré, image, détour d'expression, auxquelles il faut adjoindre le néologisme métasémème. Ce point de vue onomasiologique est complété par une approche sémasiologique qui s'efforce de déterminer les fluctuations de sens du terme trope. D'abord mode de création lexicale chez les Stoïciens, le mot s'applique ensuite dans la rhétorique à un transfert de désignation qui tend rapidement à être tenu pour un élément essentiel de l'elocutio, un ornement indispensable de l'expression. Dans ce cadre, le trope est tantôt conçu comme un phénomène purement lexical, tantôt considéré comme un processus discursif. Mais la notion est remise en question par la pensée moderne, tant d'un point de vue esthétique que scientifique. L'ouvrage examine ensuite dans le même esprit les diverses espèces répertoriées par la tradition artigraphique telle que la révèle le texte de Charisius. En conclusion il se propose de montrer la pertinence du concept redéfini en faisant appel à l'examen des fonctions fondamentales du langage<br>Within an extensive diachronic framework, the thesis aims at tracing, in the history of Western (mainly Greco-Latin and French) thinking, the evolution of the trope concept, a glimpse of which was first caught in the Aristotelian metaphora, and a more precise definition offered by the ancient rhetoric which had been using the word in its technical sense from at least the 1st century B. -C. The notion can also be found in modern and contemporary times under various terms : figure of significance, figure of meaning, figurative language, image, phrase deviation, to which must be added the neologism metasememe. This onomasiological point of view is completed by a semasiological approach which endeavours to determine how the meaning of the term trope fluctuates. Initially a word-formation mode among the Stoics, the word is then applied in rhetoric to a designation transfer which quickly tends to be considered as an essential element of the elocutio, a necessary embellishment of expression. As such, the trope is considered either as a purely lexical phenomenon, or as a discursive process. But the notion is challenged by modern thinking both on an aesthetic and a scientific point of view. In the same spirit, the thesis then goes through the various types listed by the artigraphic tradition as revealed in Charisius' text. The conclusion is intended to show the relevance of the concept redefined by resorting to the survey of the fundamental functions of language

Full textAbstract:
Research into the luxury debate in 18th century Sweden has focused on poetry and literature, the wording of decrees and the minutes of the Swedish riksdag. One source material largely left unexplored is the body of dissertations published by Swedish universities of the time. Not only is this an unfortunate omission as the universities were important intellectual centres, but also because they had a distinct culture, heavily influenced by Latin and the classics, in which luxury condemnations played a pivotal role. Building on the notion that ideas are best studied as arguments in debates, this master’s thesis examines twelve dissertations published in Sweden in the years 1722–1779 using models of conceptual change and argumentation analysis as theoretical approaches. The results indicate that the academic debate on luxury, through its focus on classical antiquity and conceptual definition, distinguished itself from other contemporary Swedish contributions to the debate, and that the interpretation of its characteristics must proceed from both the dissertation genre and the learned culture of university. The investigation furthermore stresses the importance of the university as a venue for reception of ideas in the latter part of the Early Modern Period and emphasises the dissertations as a central medium in this process.

Full textAbstract:
Among the numerous eighteenth-century composers of merit whose music remains
virtually unknown and unavailable in modern editions, and whose names are absent from
the many items of Baroque literature to date, is Andrea Zani (b. Casalmaggiore, 1696-d.
Casalmaggiore, 1757). Yet his skill saw him ranked as a virtuoso, and his compositions
were published in Vienna, Paris and Amsterdam, as well as his native Italy. Despite the
fact that most of his output is extant and accessible either in manuscripts or early prints in
the archives of Europe, the United States of America and the United Kingdom, no
thorough study of these works has been made. The scant biographical information
available on Zani lies in a succession of brief and lamentably incomplete accounts,
traceable to one early nineteenth-century writing. A comprehensive study of Andrea Zani
and his music has yet to be made.
The objectives (and thus the structure) of this dissertation are to present a definitive
performing edition of Zani’s entire output and to compile a biographical account that will
substantially augment and correct much of the biographical information that is available.
These objectives are interdependent. A biography may be illuminated by information
found in music sources – dates of compositions or dates and places of publications,
names of dedicatees (and even of specific occasions) are all indicators of avenues of
research, and as this is undertaken, isolated facts gradually turn into an expanding and yet
increasingly tightly-knit network of detail. The music itself may be illuminated by
confirming its location within the lifetime of the composer and a growing understanding
of the various circumstances surrounding the years in which it was written. When this is
allied with a knowledge of the dissemination of his compositions, one is led toward a
contemporary estimation of the composer and a measure of the sphere of his influence.
One further element of this research is a thematic catalogue of Zani’s works. As a
comprehensive description of his output, it provides a stand-alone reference volume for
future studies of the man and/or his compositions. More widely, it will assist with the
solution of problems of misattributions of compositions among Zani's contemporaries.

I explore the responses to this notion from the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church, as well as my own critiques in terms of theoretical integrity with particular regard to claims of universalism.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines whether and how historians’ reliance on medical treatises has limited the historiography of contagion as it relates to fourteenth through sixteenth century England. It analyses the context, contents, audience, and codicology of six English tractates, four on the plague and two on the sweating sickness. Before the early seventeenth century, most English tractates were translations/adaptations of Continental works, with ‘uniquely English’ content added. Although the plague dominates studies of pre-modern disease, focusing on the plague hinders comparative analyses that can reveal much about contemporary understanding of contagion. The socio-political-professional contexts in which the tractates were written and disseminated affected their contents, circulation and, ultimately, audiences. Although largely ignored by historians, the tractates’ prefatory dedications, together with their codicology, reveals that the texts were likely accessible to non-elite audiences. Rather than being limited to its medical sense, contagion formed part of the larger discourse about the human condition.
