Full textAbstract:
Les grands senneurs sont apparus en Indonésie dans les années 1970 et sont la composante principale de l'exploitation des populations de petits pélagiques en mer de java. Le maquereau Rastrelliger kanagurta représente, après les chinchards, la seconde source d'apport des senneurs; il est l'une des espèces cibles de la pêcherie. L’estimation des paramètres biologiques de la population de maquereaux a été étudiée. L’effet du changement de l'effort de pêche a été examine et des simulations d'aménagement ont été réalisées. Les données existantes permettent de considérer qu'il s'agit d'un stock unique de Rastrelliger kanagurta en mer de java. La reproduction a lieu en août et décembre, la taille a laquelle 50% des poissons deviennent murs se situe entre 18,6 et 22,7 cm. L’étude de la dynamique des populations indiquerait que la situation actuelle de la pêcherie de Rastrelliger kanagurta est près d'atteindre un point optimal. Une augmentation arbitraire de l'effort de pêche peut provoquer la diminution du rendement par recrue. La pêche a la senne tournante et coulissante en mer de java est une pêcherie plurispécifique, la réglementation doit être appliquée en tenant compte de cet aspect. En l'absence d'informations biologiques et dynamiques sur les autres espèces, et en se fondant sur la situation actuelle de la pêcherie de Rastrelliger kanagurta, on peut conseiller de ne pas diminuer le maillage actuel.

Full textAbstract:
The Fourth Lateran Council of 1215 promoted regular and effective religious instruction for the parish laity. This was facilitated by the development of preaching and instructional texts – works known as pastoralia – which proliferated throughout Europe. This dissertation explores the phenomenon of vernacular pastoralia written in rhymed verse, works intended for oral performance to a lay audience. My focus is on the work of four writers of sacramental instruction in Anglo-Norman and Middle English. The earliest text considered is the Anglo-Norman Corset, written circa 1240-50 by Robert the Chaplain. The other three authors were more or less contemporary, all writing in the late-thirteenth or early-fourteenth centuries. I examine three penitential poems by the Franciscan friar, Nicholas Bozon: Pus ke homme deit morir, Tretys de la Passion and Le char d’Orgueil, and then Handlyng Synne by the Gilbertine, Robert Mannyng. I finally consider the religious poems of William of Shoreham, a vicar in rural Kent, concentrating on De septem sacramentis and On the Trinity, Creation, the Existence of Evil, Devils, Adam and Eve. While all these writers confronted the challenges of providing religious instruction for the laity, their efforts also reflected a concern with social issues and an awareness of the literary nature of their verse enterprises. The texts frequently employed poetic or fictive devices found in popular literary genres and, whilst these illuminated and entertained listeners, they sometimes rendered the teaching obscure. The meeting of sacramental exposition, social discourse and literary invention resulted in complex textual interplay and tension, as well as in memorable formulations of faith. This dissertation considers the content of verse pastoralia in their historical context and aims to assess how the texts may have been received and understood by parishioners in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century England.

Full textAbstract:
Dans le cadre de l’Approche Ecosystémique des Pêches (AEP), il est nécessaire d’évaluer l’impact de la pêche thonière tropicale à la senne sur les espèces ciblées et sur les espèces accessoires. Parmi ces dernières, les espèces de la mégafaune, telles que des requins, raies, cétacés, tortues, oiseaux marins, sont souvent emblématiques et vulnérables. Les thoniers senneurs tropicaux recherchent activement à la surface de l’eau tout indice de la présence de bancs de thon (e.g. oiseaux, objets flottants, baleines, dauphins ou requins baleines). Dans l’est de l’océan Atlantique et l’ouest de l’océan Indien, les deux modes de pêches principaux sont les captures de thons en bancs libres et celles sur bancs associés à un objet flottant, naturel ou artificiel, rassemblés ici sur sous le terme de dispositif de concentration de poisson (DCP). Les calées associées aux requins baleines et aux cétacés sont toutefois peu étudiées. L’objectif de cette thèse est donc d’analyser les co-occurrences et/ou interactions spatio-temporelles entre requins baleines, cétacés et pêche thonière à la senne, dans une perspective de conservation de l’écosystème. Ce travail, basé sur des données de livres de bord et d’observateurs scientifiques embarqués, a montré que la co-occurrence pêche thonière/ mégafaune se localise dans des strates spatio-temporelles relativement précises: i) du Gabon à l’Angola (avril–septembre), ii) dans le Canal du Mozambique (juin–septembre) et iii) à l’est des Seychelles (avril–septembre). Les baleines et requins baleines étant planctivores, la co-occurrence avec la pêche à la senne est principalement liée à une forte productivité primaire (appréhendée à travers des proxys tels que la concentration en chlorophylle-a). De plus, les calées sur ces deux groupes étaient assez élevées avant 2000 (jusqu’à 20% des calées), et qu’elles sont moins fréquentes aujourd’hui (AC3 et 1,5% des calées associées à des baleines et des requins baleines, respectivement). L’impact de la pêche à la senne sur ces espèces semble relativement faible au regard du taux de mortalité apparente de 1,4% pour les requins baleines et 5,6% pour les cétacés. Des marquages satellites réalisés sur les requins baleines, confirment ces observations sur le plus long terme, mais la taille de l’échantillon limite la formulation de conclusions définitives. Concernant les dauphins, bien que présents sur les zones de pêche, ils interagissent très peu avec celle-ci, soulignant ainsi une différence majeure avec l’océan Pacifique est où ce mode de pêche est majoritaire. La diversité spécifique des espèces cible et accessoire associées aux calées sur mégafaune a également été étudiée. Les requins baleines sont associés aux listaos et à l’albacore (dans une large gamme de tailles), alors que les baleines le sont principalement à de gros albacores. De plus, la capture accessoire associée à ces deux groupes de mégafaune est relativement faible et dominée par le requin soyeux et la diversité spécifique est proche de celle trouvée sous les bancs libres de thons. Enfin les effets de mesures de conservation vis-à-vis de la mégafaune encerclée ou de mesures de gestion de l’effort de pêche, notamment les moratoires sur DCP réelles ou simulées (e.g. moratoires élargis), ont été analysés. Les premières ont eu un effet limité en terme de captures cibles et accessoires, alors que les moratoires impactent peu le nombre de calées associés à la mégafaune, ceci en raison du décalage spatio-temporel des co-occurrences. Cependant des moratoires élargis pourraient être bénéfiques pour les thons juvéniles et certaines espèces associées. Par l’analyse quantitative des interactions entre la pêche thonière à la senne et la mégafaune, cette thèse apporte des connaissances essentielles sur les espèces étudiées dans le cadre de la mise en place d’une AEP, applicable à la pêche thonière tropicaleIn the frame of the Ecosystem Approach to Fishery (EAF) management, impact of the tropical tuna purse-seine fishery on targeted and incidentally captured species should be investigated. They may include megafauna species, such as sharks, rays, cetaceans, turtles or sea birds, which often are emblematic and vulnerable species. Tropical tuna purse-seiners actively search, at the surface of the sea, for clues indicating the presence of tuna schools (e.g. birds, floating objects, whales, dolphins or whale sharks). In the eastern Atlantic and western Indian Oceans, the main two fishing modes are sets on free swimming tuna schools and schools associated to natural or artificial floating objects, thereafter called Fish Aggregating Device (FAD). However dedicated studies on fishing sets associated to whale sharks and cetaceans are still lacking. The aim of this thesis is therefore, using logbook and scientific onboard observer data, to investigate the spatio-temporal co-occurrences and/or interactions between whale sharks, cetaceans and the tuna purse-seine fishery within an ecosystem conservation perspective. This work underlines that the megafauna/ fishery co-occurrence occurs in specific spatio-temporal strata: i) Gabon to Angola (April–September), ii) the Mozambique Channel (June–September), and iii) East of Seychelles (April–September). As baleen whales and whale sharks are filter feeders, the co-occurrence with the purse-seine fishery was mostly linked to highly productive environments (i.e. using proxys including chlorophyll-a concentration). In addition fishing sets involving megafauna were relatively high before 2000 (up to 20% of the sets), but are nowadays less frequent (AC3 and 1.5% of the sets associated to baleen whales and whale sharks). The purse-seine fishery appears to have a relatively low impact on megafauna species with mortality rates of 1.4% for whale sharks and 5.6% for cetaceans. Whale shark satellite tagging also confirms these results on the longer term, but the low sample size precludes any final conclusion. While dolphins are present in fishing areas, very few interactions with the fishery was detected, which highlights the striking difference with the eastern Pacific Ocean where half the sets are associated to dolphin herds. In addition, the diversity of targeted and bycatch species captured under whale shark and baleen whale sets was also investigated. Whale sharks are principally associated to skipjack and yellowfin (of various sizes) tunas and baleen whales mostly to large yellowfin tuna. In addition, bycatch species associated to these two megafauna groups was relatively low and dominated by the silky shark, and bycatch diversity was close to the one found for free swimming tuna schools. Finally, real and/or simulated encircled megafauna conservation measures or fishing effort management measures (especially FAD moratoria including larger ones) were investigated. The first ones were found to have limited consequences on tuna catch and bycatch. Conversely FAD moratoria had limited impacts on the number of megafauna associated fishing sets, due to the fact that the main spatio-temporal strata of megafauna and FAD sets differ. However larger and longer moratoria could be beneficial for juvenile tuna and some bycatch species. Overall, this thesis has lead to increase the knowledge on megafauna/ fishery interactions, essential in the general framework of setting up an EAF in the tropical tune purse-seine fishery

Full textAbstract:
Les sennes tournantes basees au campement de vridin pres d'abidjan, ont la possibilite d'exploiter, au moins jusqu'en 1982, simultanement deux zones de peche differentes: l'une situee en lagune ebrie, l'autre sur le plateau maritime de la cote d'ivoire. Entre 1975 et 1985, 55000 enquetes ont ete realisees dans ce campement pour environ 31000 sorties de peche observee. Le nombre d'unites de peche recencees s'est accru de 30 unites en 1975, a 190 embarcations de peche en 1985. L'effort de peche deploye qui represente environ 5000 sorties en 1975, atteint pres de 19000 sorties a la fin de la periode d'etude. La repartition de cet effort entre les secteurs marins et lagunaires a evoluee de 60% de l'effort total deploye en lagune au debut de l'etude, a moins de 20% en 1982. La peche est interdite en lagune apres cette date. En lagune, les rendements annuels de peche sont relativement stables et atteignent en moyenne 380 kilogrammes par sortie, mais la variation saisonniere y est importante. En mer, les variations saisonniere et interannuelle sont de grande ampleur: de 400 kg en 1978, les rendements moyens annuels atteignent plus de 1,4 tonnes en 1985. A travers ces evolutions, une histoire du developpement de l'activite de peche de ce campement est proposee en fonction de l'exploitation lagunaire et maritime. Ce developpement est mis en correspondance avec l'evolution des prises des principales especes cibles. Cette analyse du developpement de l'activite des sennes tournantes du campement de vridi, est reprise en fonction de l'origine socio-culturelle des pecheurs

Atualmente, há uma crescente demanda pela disponibilidade de produtos fitoterápicos, para atender tanto o mercado privado quanto a inserção destes produtos no Sistema Único de Saúde. Para a indústria de medicamentos envolvida com a fabricação de fitoterápicos em escala, a estratégia de produção está hoje delineada pela utilização de extratos secos padronizados de espécies medicinais, sob a forma de cápsulas. As cápsulas duras comerciais mais disseminadas são elaboradas a partir de gelatina, que apresentam uma grande limitação de sua eficiência quando o material a ser encapsulado tem características higroscópicas, pois a gelatina é reconhecida por formar ligações cruzadas em condições de alta umidade e temperatura. Este fato tem sido um fator limitante para a indústria farmacêutica, especialmente no que tange à veiculação de extratos vegetais secos, desde que muitos fitoterápicos constituem pós extremamente higroscópicos, o que em última análise compromete a estabilidade do medicamento fitoterápico. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência de cápsulas de hipromelose e de gelatina contendo extrato padronizado comercial de Sene (Cassia angustifolia Vahl). As cápsulas de ambos os tipos foram submetidas ao estresse térmico acelerado a 35 graus Celsius (ºC) e 65% de umidade relativa (UR) e a 40ºC/75%U.R. por 6 meses. As medidas comparativas de estabilidade consistiram nas avaliações de (i) perda por dessecação, (ii) desintegração, (iii) suscetibilidade à quebra, (iv) atividade de água, (v) contaminação microbiana, e (vi) análise dos derivados hidroxiantracênicos e dos senosídeos A e B. Os testes físico-químicos foram realizados de acordo com os métodos farmacopeicos em vigor, e a comparação dos conteúdos químicos foi avaliada quantitativamente por Cromatografia Líquida de Alta Eficiência (CLAE), utilizando como marcadores os senosídeos A e B comerciais, cujas presenças nos extratos foram corroboradas com a CLAE acoplada à espectrometria de massas. Os resultados obtidos na caracterização física demonstraram que as cápsulas de hipromelose apresentaram maior estabilidade em todos os parâmetros estudados, quando comparadas as de gelatina. Os resultados da análise química apontaram uma queda maior no teor de senosídeo B para as cápsulas de gelatina em relação às de hipromelose: 0,021% e 0,022%, 30ºC/65%UR e 0,02% e 0,017% 40ºC/75% UR, respectivamente. Estes resultados demonstram preliminarmente que há vantagens no uso da cápsula hipromelose em relação à de gelatina para encapsular o extrato seco de Sene, em um estudo de estabilidade acelerada, no entanto outras avaliações serão necessárias, incluindo um estudo de estabilidade completo no produto.
Currently there is a growing demand for the availability of herbal products to meet both the private market and the inclusion of these products in the Unified Health System. For the pharmaceutical industry involved in the manufacture of herbal medicines in scale, the production strategy is outlined today by the use of standardized dry extracts of medicinal species in the form of capsules. The most widespread commercial hard capsules are made from gelatin, which present a major limitation of its efficiency when the material to be encapsulated has hygroscopic characteristics, because the gelatin is known to form cross-linking under conditions of high humidity and temperature. This has been a limiting factor for the pharmaceutical industry, especially in regard to the placement of dry plant extracts, since many herbal powders are highly hygroscopic, which ultimately compromises the stability of herbal medicine. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of capsules of hypromellose and gelatin containing commercially standardized Senna dry extract (Cassia angustifolia Vahl.). The capsules of both types were subjected to accelerated heat stress at 35 Celsius degrees (°C) / 65% relative humidity (RH) and at 40ºC / 75%RH for 6 months. The comparative measures of stability in the evaluations consisted of (i) loss on drying, (ii) disintegration, (iii) susceptibility to breakage, (iv) water activity, (v) microbial contamination, and (vi) analysis of hydroxyanthracene derivatives and senosídes A and B. The physicochemical tests were performed according to the pharmacopoeial methods in place, and the comparison of chemical content was assessed quantitatively by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), using commercial senosídeos A and B as chemical markers, whose presence in the extracts were corroborated by HPLC coupled with mass spectrometry. The results of the physical characterization of the capsules showed that hypromellose capsules showed a higher stability in all these parameters, when compared with gelatin. The chemical analysis results showed a greater decrease in the concentration of senoside B for gelatin compared to hypromellose capsules: 0.021% and 0.022%, 30 ºC/65% R.H. and 0.02% and 0.017% 40 ºC/75% R.H., respectively. These preliminary results show that there are advantages in the use of hypromellose capsule in relation to the gelatin to encapsulate the Senna dry extract in an accelerated stability study, but further evaluation will be needed, including a complete study of stability in the product.

Full textAbstract:
Architecture today does not respond to memory, the essence of character. As a result, a disengagement exists between people and place. In a world of constant movement a sense of place is not only uncommon but in some instances unknown; we are continuously in a state of motion. We commonly forget why we are here, who settled the land we now inhabit. We forget that life is more than technology bombarding us at every instant; it is more than work and more than financial success. We forget that life can be more. Architecture is also in this state of constant motion, financial success is placed ahead of experience, and as a result places become indifferent, unmemorable, and apathetic. Memory must not be put to the wayside; it is the bond that connects us to our culture. It enables our will to dream. Architecture can be the means of remembering. By cueing memory through emotion and sensory detail, one is able to pause and recall past events. The dilapidation of one’s environment can also cue memory. The act of showing the passage of time makes the past come alive. By responding to these aspects architecture becomes an indication of memory. As a result we will be connected to the land on which we live and have a reason to call that place home. We will have a heightened sense of place. Alienation and placelessness will be no more. The inevitable result of engaging memory in architecture will produce memorable spaces that inspire us, leaving us with a sense of belonging. The intention of this thesis is to illustrate that architecture is capable of unlocking memory, both collective and personal, through materials, form, and experience. This will evoke personal insights and ultimately provide memorable architecture that enhances a sense of place. As a result, we will be brought back to the days of childhood, to imagination, to a life full of meaningful events that imprint memories on the soul.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to explore in what way might the concept of common sense inform leadership action? The thesis takes as a starting point typical dictionary definitions of common sense and moves on to critically review related literature from, Delaney (2001), Gerber (2001), Lissack & Roos (2000), Rausch (2009), Zhao (2009) and gains an appreciation of the different aspects of common sense to understand how the implicit nature of common sense influences leadership actions within the context of a large family owned business. A description of Common Sense as something 'positive and desirable' (Fulton, 2006) whilst at that same time something taken for granted which offers the prospect of development according to Rausch (2009) and the possibility of an advanced form of Common Sense (Delaney, 2001) or Critical Common Sense (Watson, 2006) is also considered. The common sense literature is reviewed against the past theories of leadership and using Bryman's (2006) leadership framework the interconnecting elements of both strands of literature are pulled together to form a model of common sense leadership incorporating: trait, style, contingency, and new leadership. The model of common sense leadership integrates common sense with people management, the character and competence of the leader and the new leadership aspects of transformation, vision, and charisma. The research is undertaken predominantly using semi structured interviews and building on an 'interpretative and subjective' general analytical inductive methodology, it contributes to both theory and management practice by making more explicit an aspect of leadership often overlooked - a common sense approach.

Listening to lung sounds, feeling the pulse, observing posture and gait-these are just a few of the examinations that doctors perform on their patients. A physical exam exists for every organ, from the brain to the bones of the feet, each carried out with the physician's senses. For thousands of years, humans had been solely responsible for this exam ritual, until the emergence of diagnostic equipment-CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasounds, echocardiograms, mammograms, and more. In some cases, these devices replaced the physical exam. But in areas of the world where technology is unavailable, and even in places where it exists, many physicians and healthcare professionals cannot or will not to cede their tasks to tools. Their goal: to maintain an environment in which technology and the learned senses can coexist; an environment in which the physical exam remains an integral part of medicine.

Full textAbstract:
Word sense disambiguation (WSD)—the task of determining which meaning a word carries in a particular context—is a core research problem in computational linguistics. Though it has long been recognized that supervised (machine learning–based) approaches to WSD can yield impressive results, they require an amount of manually annotated training data that is often too expensive or impractical to obtain. This is a particular problem for under-resourced languages and domains, and is also a hurdle in well-resourced languages when processing the sort of lexical-semantic anomalies employed for deliberate effect in humour and wordplay. In contrast to supervised systems are knowledge-based techniques, which rely only on pre-existing lexical-semantic resources (LSRs). These techniques are of more general applicability but tend to suffer from lower performance due to the informational gap between the target word's context and the sense descriptions provided by the LSR.
This dissertation is concerned with extending the efficacy and applicability of knowledge-based word sense disambiguation. First, we investigate two approaches for bridging the information gap and thereby improving the performance of knowledge-based WSD. In the first approach we supplement the word's context and the LSR's sense descriptions with entries from a distributional thesaurus. The second approach enriches an LSR's sense information by aligning it to other, complementary LSRs.
Our next main contribution is to adapt techniques from word sense disambiguation to a novel task: the interpretation of puns. Traditional NLP applications, including WSD, usually treat the source text as carrying a single meaning, and therefore cannot cope with the intentionally ambiguous constructions found in humour and wordplay. We describe how algorithms and evaluation methodologies from traditional word sense disambiguation can be adapted for the "disambiguation" of puns, or rather for the identification of their double meanings.
Finally, we cover the design and construction of technological and linguistic resources aimed at supporting the research and application of word sense disambiguation. Development and comparison of WSD systems has long been hampered by a lack of standardized data formats, language resources, software components, and workflows. To address this issue, we designed and implemented a modular, extensible framework for WSD. It implements, encapsulates, and aggregates reusable, interoperable components using UIMA, an industry-standard information processing architecture.

Full textAbstract:
L'hydrologie de la mer de java est caracterisee par une forte variabilite saisonniere et inter-annuelle. La mousson en est le moteur, la repartition spatiale de la salinite, le meilleur descripteur. Au cours d'un cycle annuel, deux saisons, l'une dominee par les eaux oceaniques et l'autre par les eaux continentales, sont observees. Durant cette derniere, la production biologique est elevee. En mer de java, l'exploitation des ressources pelagiques est tres ancienne. La pecherie de layang en est l'element principal. Pendant longtemps, la senne danoise a ete l'engin privilegie des pecheurs javanais. Son activite etait liee au cycle de la mousson. L'introduction de la senne tournante et coulissante est une tentative pour s'affranchir de cette contrainte. Son developpement, lent dans les premieres annees, s'est accelere apres l'interdiction du chalutage. L'evolution historique de la pecherie est abordee et les strategies et tactiques des differentes flottilles de senneurs decrites. En 1995, plus de 500 senneurs semi-industriels exploitent les ressources pelagiques. Au cours de la periode recente, l'adoption de la lumiere et de la radio ont permis l'emergence d'une strategie cooperative. Les ressources sont constituees d'especes pelagiques a cycle de vie court. Elles se repartissent sur l'ensemble de la region et forment diverses populations caracterisees par leurs exigences ecologiques. Leur biologie est rappelee et leur exploitation par les flottilles de senneurs semi-industriels est analysee, prenant en compte l'evolution des strategies. En 1995, 156 000 tonnes ont ete debarquees par les flottilles semi-industrielles. Le groupe des chinchards contribue pour la moitie a ces apports. Au cours de l'exploitation, la repartition spatiale et specifique des prises se sont modifiees. La saisonnalite de ces dernieres demeure forte. Les structures de taille montrent que la taille moyenne des individus captures est faible, plus de 80% d'entre eux sont des immatures. On a cherche a identifier le meilleur indice d'effort. Le jour de peche a ete retenu. De 1974 a 1995, l'effort s'est accru sensiblement et atteint, en 1995, 96 000 jours de peche. Cet accroissement n'est pas lineaire et les variations enregistrees sont liees aux fluctuations de l'environnement. Les principales composantes de la puissance de peche ont ete analysees. L'introduction de la lumiere ne semble pas avoir profondement modifie l'efficacite des navires. La tactique employee lors du coup de senne semble attenuer l'effet lumiere. Les variations de l'indice d'abondance sont reliees a la pression de peche et aux modifications de l'environnement. Ce dernier est le facteur determinant des fluctuations observees dans le stock et les modeles testes y sont tres sensibles. Le stock de pelagiques de la mer de java presente une certaine robustesse a l'exploitation. Certains aspects socio-economiques de la pecherie sont abordes. Le prix du poisson stagne depuis 20 ans et presente de fortes oscillations saisonnieres dependant des quantites debarquees. Principalement destine au marche javanais, il est commercialise sous trois formes, frais sale et bouilli. Les proprietaires sont souvent reunis en groupements. Ils cherchent a repartir les risques en accroissant le nombre de navires et en investissant dans les autres secteurs de la filiere peche. La pecherie est dynamique, mais les revenus des marins sont bas. Les meilleurs d'entre eux se dirigent vers le secteur industriel. Cet etat maintient les flottilles a un niveau technique faible et leur laisse peu de chances d'evolution.

Full textAbstract:
RNA is a highly versatile molecule with functions that span from being a messenger in the transfer from DNA to protein, a catalytic molecule important for key processes in the cell to a regulator of gene expression. The post-genomic era and the use of new techniques to sequence RNAs have dramatically increased the number of regulatory RNAs during the last decade. Many of these are antisense RNAs, as for example the miRNA in eukaryotes and most sRNAs in bacteria. Antisense RNAs bind to specific targets by basepairing and thereby regulate their expression. A major step towards an understanding of the biological role of a miRNA or an sRNA is taken when one identifies which target it regulates. We have used RNA libraries to study the RNA interference pathway during development in the unicellular model organism Dictyostelium discoideum. We have also, by combining computational and experimental methods, discovered the first miRNAs in this organism and shown that they have different expression profiles during development. In parallel, we have developed a novel approach to predict targets for sRNAs in bacteria and used it to discover sRNA/target RNA interactions in the model organism Escherichia coli. We have found evidence for, and further characterized, three of these predicted sRNA/target interactions. For instance, the sRNA MicA is important for regulation of the outer membrane protein OmpA, the sRNAs OmrA and OmrB regulate the transcription factor CsgD, which is important in the sessile lifestyle of E. coli, and MicF regulates its own expression in a feed forward loop via the regulatory protein Lrp. In conclusion, we have discovered novel antisense RNAs, e.g. miRNAs in D. discoideum, developed an approach to identify targets for antisense RNAs, i.e. a target prediction program for sRNAs in bacteria, and verified and characterized some of the predicted antisense RNA interactions.

This thesis emerged from the author’s quest to increase her personal and professional effectiveness, to become more congruent, and to be a better person in the world. The thesis discusses how to move from Argyris and Schon’s behavioural model 1 (seeking answers externally, blaming others, avoiding responsibility, controlling behaviour and the belief that there is one right way) to model 2 (seeking answers from within, accepting responsibility, living in a state of flow, surprise and emergent possibilities, looking at the world in multiple ways and collaborating with others). Drawing from her own experiences and interactions with others, the author explores issues such as how people learn the qualities that enable them to be better people; what experiences have enabled people to move toward model 2; what happens when a group, especially within an organisation, moves toward model 2 and how does this happen; and how can conditions be created to enable individuals or groups to move toward model 2.Master of Science (Hons)

Hiruta, Kei. "Making sense of pluralism." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.568563.
Full textAbstract:
Political theorists in the last few decades have developed three distinct kinds of pluralism, as they attempt to imagine a political life appropriate for an increasingly complex world characterised by the excessively unifying forces of globalisation and the potentially divisive forces of mass migration and multiculturalisation. 'Value pluralism' theorises the inherently conflicting nature of human value, providing us with a way of approaching moral, cultural, and political conflict; 'democratic pluralism' considers the nature of intermediate groups in civil society and their role to viable democratic politics; and 'agonistic pluralism' commends an ideal of democratic life where citizens actively and expressively engage in political activities to acquire a sense of identity and solidarity. Contemporary debates over value, democratic and agonistic pluralisms have taken place largely in isolation with each other; this thesis challenges the convention and offers a first comprehensive analysis of the contemporary pluralist ideas and their simultaneous emergence in the mid-twentieth century. The first part of the thesis discusses the pioneering formulations of value, democratic and agonistic pluralisms in the works of Isaiah Berlin, Robert Dahl, and Hannah Arendt, and analyses how those works have shaped the post- ,;.. 1980s debates. The second part considers why multiple kinds of pluralism emerged as they did in the 1950s and 1960s. It argues that Berlin, Dahl and Arendt all appealed to the idea of 'the plural' as they attempted to propose antidotes to multi dimensionally monist totalitarianism, and that they formulated different pluralist antidotes because they theorised the nature and role of political theory differently and accordingly focused on different aspects oftotalitarianism. The lesson to be learnt from the mid-twentieth century is that real-world changes pose complex monist challenges to multiple aspects of life, so that those who care about pluralism must overcome today's fragmentation of pluralist discourses and become acquainted with diverse vocabularies to mobilise multiple pluralist ideas.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I trace ideas about naturalistic inquiry into commonsense understanding through Chomsky's work. I argue that the resulting picture significantly illuminates both the nature of `common sense' and existing interdisciplinary debates surrounding it. Specifically, I claim that progress in investigating the nature of humans' commonsense understanding of psychology (folk psychology) has been hampered by the same kind of methodological dualism which for so long haunted scientific accounts of language. Following Chomsky, I discuss in general how a rationalist inquiry into cognitive domains other than language could proceed by positing `learning theories' for organisms in given domains, LT (0, D), and attempting to characterize their interaction with experience and the resulting knowledge structures. I further consider how the Language Faculty and a Science Forming Faculty might contribute to our introspective awareness of the understanding of the world delivered to us by core commonsense principles. In particular, taking into account methodological insights gained from the study of language, I put forward a view of a Psychology Faculty and I adapt some ideas from Grice (1975) as a first step towards a positive proposal. Evidence from current developmental and ethological research is presented in support of my position. I thus draw out substantial similarities both between the study of language and the study of commonsense psychology, and between the objects of study in each case. By defusing possible philosophical objections to the comparison, I articulate a detailed defence of my claims.

Full textAbstract:
Das Gefühl die eigenen Handlungen selbst zu verursachen und deren Konsequenzen zu kontrollieren, ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil unserer Selbstwahrnehmung und wird als Erleben von Urheberschaft oder Autorenschaft bezeichnet. Die zugrunde liegenden neurokognitiven Mechanismen sind bislang nur unzureichend verstanden. In zwei Experimenten zur Handlungswahrnehmung wurde bei gesunden Probanden mittels Elektroenzephalogramm (EEG) die Hirnaktivität auf visuelles Handlungsfeedback erfasst. Reduzierte neuronale Aktivität (sensorische Attenuierung) auf selbst versus extern generiertes Feedback wurde als implizites Maß für das Erleben von Urheberschaft verwendet. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass das Ausmaß der neuronalen Attenuierung stärker von der Präsenz einer Handlung sowie vorausgehenden Hinweisreizen abhing, als von präzisen Vorhersagen durch spezifische Kontingenzregeln. Die explizite Beurteilung der eigenen Urheberschaft dagegen beruhte primär auf hoher Kontingenz von Handlung und Feedback, während externe Hinweisreize nur in Kontexten herangezogen wurden, in denen Kontingenzinformationen nicht ausreichten. Eine dritte EEG Studie untersuchte Patienten mit Zwangsstörung, welche durch abweichendes Erleben der Vollendung und Urheberschaft für Handlungsergebnisse gekennzeichnet ist. Die Ergebnisse zeigten eine fehlende neuronale Attenuierung selbst generierter Handlungskonsequenzen bei Zwangspatienten. Verkörperte Signale wurden dabei weniger stark genutzt für Vorhersagen des Handlungsfeedbacks. Zusammenfassend trägt die vorliegende Arbeit zur Validierung der sensorischen Attenuierung als implizites Maß des Erlebens von Urheberschaft bei. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Erleben von Urheberschaft auf einer Integration multipler verkörperter und externer, kontextueller Hinweisreize beruht. Dieser Integrationsmechanismus scheint bei Zwangspatienten gestört zu sein und führt möglicherweise zu dem mangelnden Gefühl von Handlungsabschluss und Urheberschaft.The experience of causing and controlling one s own actions and their consequences is a major aspect of our self-awareness, which has been termed sense of agency or experience of authorship. The underlying neural and cognitive mechanisms are still not well understood. In two consecutive experiments on action awareness, the electroencephalogram (EEG) of healthy participants was recorded to measure brain activity related to the perception of visual feedback. Reduced neuronal activity (sensory attenuation) in response to self- versus externally generated feedback was taken as an implicit measure for the sense of agency. The results showed that the amount of sensory attenuation was primarily determined by the mere presence of an action and external cues independent of highly precise predictions based on specific contingency rules. Explicit judgments of agency, in contrast, were mainly determined by high degrees of contingency between action and feedback, and external cues had an influence only in ambiguous contexts where contingency information was not reliable enough. A third EEG study investigated patients suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD is characterized by lacking a sense of completion and agency for action outcomes. The results of this study revealed that OCD patients fail to suppress the consequences of their own action. Embodied signals were used less by patients for making specific predictions of the action feedback. In conclusion, the present work offers validation of sensory attenuation as an implicit measure of non-conceptual agency experience, and provides evidence that the sense of agency is based on an optimal integration of multiple embodied and external, contextual cues. Moreover, the present research reveals for the first time, to our knowledge - reduced gating of extracorporeal sensory action consequences in patients suffering from OCD, which may explain aberrant feelings of action completion and agency in these patients.

By exploring the relationship between rituals and human behavior in relationship to architectural design the project "A Sense of Russia" searches for answers to new ways of sharing and experiencing culture over national boundaries, creating a stronger and clearer insight by physically engaging the visitor to be part of the other and the yet unknown. Using Russia and the program of the traditional Russian steam bath banya as a set framework, the project aims to address the subject through the implementation of one architectural incision. Questioning what place and shape a fragment of Russia would take in a non-Russian context like Sweden. By going through the different layers of human physical and mental interpretation, a patchwork of sorts, engaging in phenomenological and sociological ideas, this thesis explores how culture could be experienced through architectural design. Through the process of digging, casting and carving the project results in a proposal at the site of The Russian Yard located in Slussen, Stockholm. While unravelling the historical layers on site the proposal aims to offer new impressions and make the visitor behave in new patterns through unexpected scenarios. Trying to make Sweden see, hear, feel and maybe even make a little sense of Russia.

Full textAbstract:
Research into parents’ experiences of becoming parents is widespread. However research regarding therapy for parents, and how that may impact on the meanings parents give to parenthood is rare. In response to this lack of knowledge, this study explores parents’ experiences of counselling at SureStart children’s centres and how that experience affects their perceptions of themselves as parents, and their on-going experience of parenthood. The study was conducted using phenomenological methodology. Data was collected via four semi-structured interviews. Participants were parents who had received counselling at a local children’s centre. They had between two and four children each, aged between eight months and four years. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Three superordinate themes are evidenced – i. Who am I?, ii. Feeling out of Control and iii. Parenthood and Counselling. Parents’ sense of a parental identity and sense of agency changed when they became parents and over time, and therapy was used to explore these differences in experience. Despite accessing therapy, participants did not identify with people whom they thought of as needing mental health services. It is suggested that children’s centre counselling services could become a “gateway” to other parenting support as the parent learns to experience a therapeutic relationship, gains a better sense of agency, and trusts that the professionals are not judging them. The findings are examined in the light of the extant literature which suggests, for example, that parents may experience dissonance between their concept of “parent” and their concept of “client.” They may also find parenthood harder if their thinking is not “principle led”. The research findings indicate that there is still much to learn about this participant group, and suggestions are made for further research in this area.

Full textAbstract:
Some form of absolutism has generally been the majority view within philosophy and in other traditions, and it is common to take absolutism for granted without providing rational arguments or empirical evidence in support of it. However, such attitudes are not viable if we want to avoid dogmatism. In this paper, I question absolutism and the closely associated correspondence theory of truth through the writings of Goodman and Nāgārjuna. I first describe Goodman‟s philosophy with a focus on his works dealing with „worldmaking‟ and multiple true versions. Subsequently follows an outline of Nāgārjuna‟s philosophy, in which he intended to show that the notion of an essence, an inherently existent entity or relation, is incoherent and that essences would be incompatible with experience. I then reflect on the relation between absolutism and relativism, and propose that the philosophies of Goodman and Nāgārjuna make it possible to transcend both. The paper ends with a discussion on the notion of knowledge in the absence of absolute entities and essences. From the works of Goodman, Nāgārjuna, and Bohm, I put forward the idea that an aspiration for a greater good and fitting is more general than a desire for knowledge of entities, and that it is therefore important to be aware of the larger context in which any given entity appears so that it can be seen to what extent further inquiry and use of it can lead to a greater good and fitting.

O uso de produtos naturais na medicina popular como agente terapêutico é conhecido por praticamente todas as civilizações antigas. O gênero Senna Mill, é uma importante fonte de substâncias com grande diversidade estrutural, sendo atualmente utilizada como laxantes e purgativas. Diante disso, este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterização química e atividades biológicas do extrato bruto metanólico das folhas de Senna alata L. Roxb e Senna siamea (Lam.). O perfil fitoquímico foi realizado em cromatografia de camada delgada, com diferentes fases móveis e reveladores. A extração do óleo essencial foi utilizada por hidrodestilação e analizado em cromatografia gasosa acoplada ao espectro de massa (CG/MS). A atividade larvicida do óleo essencial foi avaliada segundo o método recomendado pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, adaptado. A atividade antimicrobiana foi realizada pelo método de difusão em Agar, e identificação da concetração inibitória mínima. Os métodos de Mosman (1983) e Costa-Lotufo et al. (2002) foram utilizados para analisar a atividade hemolítica e citotóxica, respectivamente. O potencial de toxicidade aguda foi avaliado segundo a OECD 423. A metodologia de Rao et al., 1997, modificada, foi utilizado para análise da atividade laxante. A caracterização fitoquímica evidenciou os seguintes metabólitos: açucares redutores; flavonóides; antraquinonas, triterpenos, cumarinas, monoterpenos e sesquiterpenos, proantocianidinas e leucoantocianidina. Após análise em CG/MS, 03 (três) compostos foram identificados: ácido n-hexadecanóico, fitol e 9,12,15- ácido octadecatrienóico (Z,Z,Z). O óleo essencial da S. siamea não apresentou atividade larvicida. Não foi evidenciada atividade antimicrobiana do extrato bruto metanólico das folhas (EBMF) de S. siamea. Entretanto o EBMF de S. alata apresentou atividade moderada contra B. subitilis (AM04), e baixa atividade contra S. aureus (AM103) e S. aureus (AM1210). Ambos os extratos se mostraram inativos frente à atividade hemolítica e citotóxica. Na toxicidade aguda não houve óbito dos animais após administração da dose 2000mg/kg, com isso, ambos os extratos são considerados atóxicos ou baixa toxicidade. O Extrato metanólico bruto das folhas (EMBF) de S. siamea e S. alata, nas doses de 62,5mg/kg, 125mg/kg e 250mg/kg, não apresentaram atividade laxante. Estudos mais aprofundados dos extratos são necessários para garantir a segurança e eficácia terapêutica dos mesmos.
The use of natural products in folk medicine as a therapeutic agent is known by virtually all ancient civilizations. The genus Senna Mill, is an important source of substances with great structural diversity, being currently used as laxatives and purgatives. The objective of this work was to characterize the chemical and biological activities of the crude methanolic extract of the leaves of Senna alata L. Roxb and Senna siamea (Lam.). The phytochemical profile was performed in thin layer chromatography, with different mobile phases and developers. The extraction of the essential oil was used by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to the mass spectrum (CG / MS). The larvicidal activity of the essential oil was evaluated according to the method recommended by the World Health Organization, adapted. The antimicrobial activity was performed by the agar diffusion method, and identification of minimal inhibitory concentration. The methods of Mosman (1983) and Costa-Lotufo et al. (2002) were used to analyze the hemolytic and cytotoxic activity, respectively. The acute toxicity potential was evaluated according to OECD 423. The methodology of Rao et al., 1997, modified, was used to analyze the laxative activity. The phytochemical characterization showed the following metabolites: reducing sugars; Flavonoids; Anthraquinones, triterpenes, coumarins, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, proanthocyanidins and leucoanthocyanidin. After analysis in CG / MS, 03 (three) compounds were identified: n-hexadecanoic acid, phytol and 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid (Z, Z, Z). The essential oil of S. siamea showed no larvicidal activity. There was no evidence of antimicrobial activity of the crude methanolic leaf extract (EBMF) of S. siamea. However, S. alata EBMF showed moderate activity against B. subitilis (AM04), and low activity against S. aureus (AM103) and S. aureus (AM1210). Both extracts were inactive against hemolytic and cytotoxic activity. In acute toxicity, the animals did not die after administration of the 2000mg / kg dose, with both extracts being considered nontoxic or low toxicity. The crude methanolic extract of the leaves (EMBF) of S. siamea and S. alata, at doses of 62.5mg / kg, 125mg / kg and 250mg / kg, presented no laxative activity. Further studies of extracts are necessary to ensure the therapeutic safety and efficacy of the extracts.

Full textAbstract:
A partir de 1806, sur ordre de Napoléon Ier, le ministère de l'Intérieur met progressivement en place une organisation centralisée du théâtre. Il s'agit de surveiller et d'encadrer une activité jugée dangereuse. Ce qui n'était au début qu'une simple autorisation à obtenir par les artistes pour pouvoir jouer, se transforme rapidement en un privilège reposant sur un monopole d'exploitation. La France est divisée en une vingtaine d'arrondissements théâtraux qui regroupent chacun un ou plusieurs départements. A la tête de chacune de ces circonscriptions se trouve un directeur de troupe ambulante chargé de desservir toutes les petites villes disposant d'une salle de spectacle. Si l'une des localités offre suffisamment de ressources, elle peut avoir une compagnie d'artistes sédentaires. Ces directeurs sont choisis par les préfets et sont agréés par le ministère de l'Intérieur qui leur délivre un brevet, rapidement désigné sous l'appellation de privilège théâtral. En échange, ces " brevetés " ou " privilégiés " doivent accepter de fournir à Paris leurs répertoires, leurs itinéraires, la liste de leurs artistes et les états de recettes de toutes leurs représentations. Le privilège théâtral traverse plusieurs régimes politiques satisfaits d'avoir une redoutable organisation contrôlant un art qui avait révélé combien il pouvait à Paris être dangereux. Le bilan politique du privilège théâtral demeure dans son ensemble positif pour le pouvoir central. Pendant 58 ans, l'Etat a exercé une surveillance efficace sur les spectacles. Des manquements ont eu lieu, mais cela ne s'est pas traduit par une montée des oppositions ou par des troubles majeurs. Les débordements sont demeurés de faible ampleur. Les autorités préfectorales ont su exploiter l'espace théâtral en laissant s'exprimer une certaine agitation toujours circonscrite au bâtiment et à son esplanade. Cependant, tous les objectifs politiques du privilège n'ont pas été totalement atteints. A aucun moment, l'administration n'est parvenue à éliminer les petites troupes de comédiens. Bien que démunies d'autorisation, elles ont poursuivi leur activité en jouant sur les scènes oubliées des directeurs brevetés. Tout au plus, Paris a pu se satisfaire de voir ses compositions de saltimbanque-acteurs rejetés vers de grosses bourgades. . .

Much of the walking that we do in our daily lives is dull, but sometimes, unexpectedly, it can be revelatory. During these moments, through what phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty calls the â lived perspectiveâ of walking, we experience a merging of our inner and outer worlds and achieve greater self-awareness.
Although most of our experience in the landscape is through movement, we rarely design for such spaces. Using the hypothesis that terrorist threats and an aging infrastructure may lead to the rerouting of the CSX Railway south of Washington, D.C., shutting down the existing line, I propose to convert the CSX Railway bridge that crosses the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington to an open public space. While other portions of the track may be demolished and returned to the wide avenues envisioned by Lâ Enfant or renovated as trolley tracks, the CSX bridge could be renovated to provide a link between the neighborhood of Capitol Hill and the Anacostia River through a pedestrian walkway.
The methodology I use to explore this thesis is two-fold. I study several environments, from site-specific artworks to monuments to large urban parks. I also study fields that explore the experiential nature of perception such as art and philosophy, and use the freedom of expression that drawing allows as a tool to inform the design of spaces that can enable us to experience a state in which our mind, body, and vision are intertwined.Master of Landscape Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This Masters in Art and Design investigates a performance strategy for the deterritorialization of the body, mind and space as they intersect the digital screen image. The reconfiguration of the sensing system as the body encounters the digital image deterritorializes the body’s everyday modes of proprioception and spatial orientation. The assumption here is the increasing 'instability' of the body in a contemporary world where the digital screen image mediates and renegotiates our physical encounters. In prioritizing the body in these screen environments, there is potential for rethinking a body politic for performance and somatic practice. My strategy is to reconfigure the multi-modal processing where the screen dominates the visual faculties in the mind/body/screen relationship. Using wireless cameras attached to the body and improvisational structures for performance, divergent spaces are connected and collected through the body, screen and the camera. As the body and screen intersect, the corporeal and the image converge and manifest through the imagination and screen. This investigation into the screen/body opens up new possibilities for the spatial and corporeal, as the body and the screen fold into a mesh of multiplicity and 'in-between-ness'.
