Full textAbstract:
Following slavery, capital punishment is slowly finding its way toward abolition. This trend is manifested both in international criminal law norms and international human rights norms.In the international criminal law field, capital punishment, accepted under the Nuremberg and Tokyo Charters, was rejected half a century later in the Statute of the International Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia, then in the Statute of the International Tribunal for Rwanda, and most recently in the Rome Statute.
Parallel to developments in the international criminal law field, a similar evolution was experienced in the area of international human rights. The trend towards abolition in the human rights field began with the restriction of the death penalty application to a certain group of people and crimes. However, a European human rights instrument, Protocol No. 6 to the ECHR, shifted the trend from restriction to abolition of the death penalty.
For the abolitionist cause to succeed, the abolitionist trend should be accepted by retentionist countries such as the US and the Islamic states of the Middle East and Africa. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
The objective of the thesis is to study some properties and applications of stochastic equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H. I
n particular, we study the continuity with respect to H of the heat and wave multiplicative and additive stochastic partial differential equations driven by a noise which is white in the time variable and behaves like a fractional Brownian motion in the space variable. Morevoer, we study an analogous problem for a class of one-dimensional stochastic differential equations driven by a fractional noise, in the setting of rough paths theory.
On the side of applications, we define and evaluate a stochastic model with the objective of forecasting the future electricity prices in the italian market. This model includes as the main stochastic component an equation driven by a fractional Brownian motion, plus a jump component which shows self-exciting properties, namely a Hawkes process.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Educationis - MEd (Mathematics and Science Education)The purpose of this study was to investigate how the use of a conceptual change approach could contribute to enhance the teaching and learning of Newton's second law of motion in Grade 11 Physical Sciences. More specifically, the study attempted to answer the main research question namely, How can teaching using a conceptual change approach improve the learners' achievement in Newton's laws of motion? This study was underpinned by the theories of constructivism and conceptual change. The concept of effective teaching practice is based on approaches that promote conceptual change and provides learners with skills on learning how to learn and make meaning out of their learning - which is part of the constructivist view of learning. The sample of this research consisted of a single class in a school where the researcher is teaching. The class has 33 learners of mixed gender. The study adopted a single case study approach and was designed to allow for the use of multiple data collection methods. Data was collected through a pre- and post-tests, intervention lessons as well as semi-structured focus group interviews. The use of qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection provided useful and in-depth data and allowed for triangulation. The data was analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results of the research showed that learners performed better in the post-test than in the pre-test. The learners mentioned the fact that the intervention lesson played an important role in making them understand the concepts better. The results also showed that, while the majority of the learners seemed to have made some progress in their conceptual development as a result of their exposure to conceptual change method of teaching, others struggled with the approach.

Die Arbeit ist mit den ökonomischen Auswirkungen von Regulierungen, die für die deutsche Filmwirtschaft relevant sind, befasst. Es werden die ökonomischen Effekte dreier Regulierungsfelder, die in der öffentlichen Debatte diskutiert werden, betrachtet. Diese sind: Das deutsche Filmförderungsgesetz (FFG), das Urheberrechtsgesetz (UrhG) und der Rundfunkstaatsvertrag (RStV). Im Zentrum der Analyse steht die Frage, wie die jeweiligen Regulierungen die ökonomische Effizienz beeinflussen. Darüber hinaus werden wesentliche institutionelle und marktliche Charakteristika der deutschen Filmwirtschaft betrachtet. Teile der Untersuchung sind in eine breit angelegte Regressionsanalyse über die Determinanten des Erfolges deutscher Kinofilme eingebettet. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass die betrachteten Regulierungen im Allgemeinen negative Auswirkungen auf die ökonomische Effizienz haben.This work deals with the economic impact of regulations on the German film industry, focusing in particular on the effects of three pieces of legislation central to Germany's public debate on film politics. The legislation considered is the Film Act (Filmförderungsgesetz - FFG), the amendments to the Copyright Law (Urheberrechtsgesetz - UrhG), and the Inter-State Agreement on Broadcasting (Rundfunkstaatsvertrag - RStV). The inquiry examines how these statutes affect economic efficiency. In addition, major market and institutional characteristics of the German motion picture industry are studied. The analysis is partly embedded in a broadly disposed regression analysis of the determinants of performance of German movies in the theatrical market. The work indicates that the regulations considered generally detract from economic efficiency.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse traite de la planification des mouvements optimaux dans les systèmes robotiques redondants pour l'automatisation des processus d’enroulement filamentaire. L'objectif principal est d'améliorer la productivité des cellules de travail en développant une nouvelle méthodologie d'optimisation des mouvements coordonnés du robot manipulateur, du positionneur de pièce et de l'unité d'extension de l'espace de travail. Contrairement aux travaux précédents, la méthodologie proposée offre une grande efficacité de calcul et tient compte à la fois des contraintes technologiques et des contraintes du système robotique, qui décrivent les capacités des actionneurs et s'expriment par les vitesses et accélérations maximales admissibles dans les articulations actionnées. La technique développée est basée sur la conversion du problème continu original en un problème combinatoire, où toutes les configurations possibles des composants mécaniques sont représentées sous la forme d'un graphe multicouche dirigé et le mouvement temporel optimal est généré en utilisant le principe de programmation dynamique. Ce mouvement optimal correspond au plus court chemin sur le graphique satisfaisant les contraintes de lissage. Les avantages de la méthodologie développée sont confirmés par une application industrielle d’enroulement filamentaire pour la fabrication de pièces thermoplastiques au CETIMThe thesis deals with the optimal motion planning in redundant robotic systems for automation of the composite lay-up processes. The primary goalis to improve the lay-up workcell productivity by developing a novel methodology of optimizing coordinated motions of the robotic manipulator,workpiece positioner and workspace extension unit,which ensure the shortest processing time and smooth movements of all mechanical components. In contrast to the previous works, the proposed methodology provides high computational efficiencyand also takes into account both the technological constraints and the robotic system constraints, which describe capacities of the actuators and are expressed by the maximum allowable velocities and accelerations in the actuated joints. The developed technique is based on conversion of the original continuous problem into a combinatorial one, where all possible configurations of the mechanical components are represented as a directed multi layergraph and the desired time-optimal motion is generated using dynamic programming principle for searching the shortest path on the graph satisfying the smoothness constraints. It is also proposed an enhancement of this technique by dividing the optimization procedure in two stages combining global and local searches. At the first stage, the developed algorithm is applied in the global search space generated with large discretization step. Then,the same technique is applied in the local search space, which is created with smaller step in the neighborhood of the obtained trajectory. The advantages of the developed methodology are confirmed by industrial implementation on the factory floor that deals with manufacturing of the high pressure vessel

O presente trabalho tem grande relevância curricular não só pela obrigação exigida para a conclusão do mestrado em direito privado no programa de pós-graduação mas sobretudo pela reflexão de um tema que exige a releitura dos institutos clássicos do direito civil. A funcionalização dos direitos subjetivos abriu caminhos para se encarar o direito não somente a partir de seu enfoque científico mas busca adequar-se a uma nova realidade com o objetivo de realizar um projeto de acordo com a hierarquia de valores construído pelo ordenamento jurídico. A proposta deste estudo científico é apresentar os motivos jurídico-econômicos da função social do contrato através das transformações econômicas e sociais que acabaram por operar uma transformação no direito privado em especial nos contratos. Dessa forma partir-se para fazer uma leitura doutrinária atual a respeito dos princípios clássicos e novos do direito contratual a fim de reconhecer a sua atual moldura. E aí necessário se faz reconstruir a evolução do direito privado com a construção de novos paradigmas revelado na travessia do estado liberal para o estado social. Nesse sentido buscar-se-á análise do princípio da função social do contrato bem como apresentar as tentativas de delimitação conceitual trazida pela doutrina. Cumpre também verificar a eficácia da função social do contrato e a superação da idéia de mera limitação negativa à autonomia privada. Por fim buscar-se-á demonstrar que o art.42l do código civil impõe limites à liberdade de contratar frente ao princípio da função social do contrato levando ao operador do direito ao interpretar as cláusulas contratuais sob a égide de valores sociais que o ordenamento jurídico institui.

Full textAbstract:
At low Reynolds number flows, the effect of inertia becomes negligible and the fluid motion is dominated by the effect of viscous forces. Understanding of the behaviour of low Reynolds number flows underpins the prediction of the motion of microorganisms and particle sedimentation as well as the development of micro-robots that could potentially swim inside the human body to perform targeted drug/cell delivery and non-invasive microsurgery. The work in this thesis focuses on developing an understanding in the mathematical analysis of objects moving at low Reynolds numbers. A boundary element implementation of the Method of regularized Stokeslets (MRS) is applied to analyse the low Reynolds number flow field around an object of simple shape (sphere and cube). It also showed that the results obtained by a boundary element implementation for an unbounded cube, where singularities are presented in the corners of the cube, agrees with more complex solutions methods such as a GBEM and FEM.A methodology for analysing the effect of walls by locating collocation points on the surface of the walls and the object is presented. First at all, this methodology is validated with a boundary element implementation of the method of images for a sphere at different locations. Then, the method is extended when more than one wall is presented. This methodology is applied to predict the velocity filed of a cube moving in a tow tank at low Reynolds numbers for two different cases with a supporting rod similar to an experimental set-up, and without the supporting rod as in the CFD simulations based on the FVM. The results indicate a good match between CFD and the MRS, and an excellent approximation between the MRS and experimental data from PIV measurements. The drag, thrust and torque generated by helices moving at low Reynolds numbers in an unbounded medium is analysed by the resistive force theory, a slender body theory, and a boundary element method of the MRS. The results show that the resistive force theory predict accurately the drag, thrust and torque of moving helices when the resistive force coefficients are calculated from a slender body theory approximation by calculating independently the resistive force coefficients for translation and rotation, because it is observed that the resistive force coefficients depend also of the nature of motion. Moreover, the thrust generated by helices of different pitch angles is analysed calculated by a CFD numerical simulation based on the FVM and a boundary element implementation, an compared with experimental data. The results also show an excellent prediction between the boundary element implementation, the CFD results and the experimental data. Finally, a boundary element implementation of the MRS is applied to predict swimming of a biomimetic swimmer that mimics the motion of E.coli bacteria in an unbounded medium. The results are compared with the propulsive velocity and induced angular velocity measurement by recording the motion of the biomimetic swimmer in a square tank. It is observed that special care needs to be taken when the biomimetic swimmer is modelled inside the tank, as there is an apparent increment in the calculate thrust propulsion which does not represent a real situation of the biometic swimmer which propels by a power supply. However, this increment does not represent the condition of the biomimetic swimmer and a suggested methodology based on the solution from an unbounded case and when the swimmer is moving inside the tank is presented. In addition, the prediction of the free-swimming velocity for the biomimetic swimmer agrees with the results obtained by the MRS when the resistive force coefficients are calculated from a SBT implementation. The results obtained in this work have showed that a boundary element implementation of the MRS produces results comparable with more complex numerical implementations such as GBEM, FEM, FVM, and also an excellent agreement with results obtained from experimentation. Therefore, it is a suitable and easy to apply methodology to analyse the motion of swimmers at low Reynolds numbers, such as the biomimetic swimmer modelled in this work.

Full textAbstract:
L'evoluzione tecnologica e l'utilizzo crescente della computer grafica in diversi settori stanno suscitando l'interesse di sempre più persone verso il mondo della modellazione 3D.
I software di modellazione, tuttavia, si presentano spesso inadeguati all'utilizzo da parte di utenti senza esperienza,
soprattutto a causa dei comandi di navigazione e modellazione poco intuitivi.
Dal punto di vista dell'interazione uomo-computer, questi software devono infatti affrontare un grande ostacolo: il rapporto tra dispositivi di input 2D (come il mouse) e la manipolazione di una scena 3D.
Il progetto presentato in questa tesi è un addon per Blender che consente di utilizzare il dispositivo Leap Motion come ausilio alla modellazione di superfici in computer grafica.
L'obiettivo di questa tesi è stato quello di progettare e realizzare un'interfaccia user-friendly tra Leap e Blender, in modo da potere utilizzare i sensori del primo per facilitare ed estendere i comandi di navigazione e modellazione del secondo.
L'addon realizzato per Blender implementa il concetto di LAM (Leap Aided Modelling: modellazione assistita da Leap), consentendo quindi di estendere le feature di Blender riguardanti la selezione, lo spostamento e la modifica degli oggetti in scena, la manipolazione della vista utente e la modellazione di curve e superfici Non Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS). Queste estensioni sono state create per rendere più veloci e semplici le operazioni altrimenti guidate esclusivamente da mouse e tastiera.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Fysisk aktivitet är något i princip alla människor behöver för att må bra fysiskt och mentalt. Några som är i extra stort behov av fysisk aktivitet är personer med psykisk ohälsa då de ofta också drabbas fysisk ohälsa. Bland annat beroende på att passivitet kan vara ett symtom och att en del psykofarmaka ger metabola störningar. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa upplevelser av motion hos personer med psykisk ohälsa samt faktorer som kan vara motiverande. Metod: En litteratursökning har genomförts för att skapa en översikt över vetenskapliga artiklar om motiverande faktorer och upplevelser av fysisk aktivitet hos personer med psykisk ohälsa. Studien baseras på åtta kvalitativa artiklar som granskats och analyserats med influens av Willman & Stoltz (2012) samt Friberg (2012). Det vetenskapliga underlaget är hämtat från Cinahl, psycinfo samt Pubmed och artiklarna är publicerade mellan 2000-2013. Resultat: Dataanalysen gav tre huvudteman. Det första beskriver motion som inre tillfredsställelse med ett antal subteman som främst handlar om upplevelsen av fysisk aktivitet. Det andra huvudtemat är Gemenskap som stöd och trygghet som främst handlar om gruppen och hur brukaren kan bli delaktig . Det tredje temat är konsten att komma i form och beskriver självhjälpsstrategier, hinder och vikten av stöd för tillfrisknandet som process. Diskusssion: Resultatet diskuterade möjligheterna att skapa ”empowerment” hos brukarna i form av delaktighet och självbestämmande. Dels genom brukarnas egna önskemål men också genom de Motiverande faktorer som upptäcktes. Här finns en möjlighet för vården att påskynda ett tillfrisknande.

This thesis addresses the problem of data scarcity in human deep-learning applications. Automated estimation of human shape and pose from an image is challenging. It is even more difficult to map the identified human pixels onto a 3D model. Existing deep-learning models learn to map manually labelled human pixels in 2D images onto human surface, which is prone to human error, and the sparsity of annotated data leads to sub-optimal results. We solve this problem by generating realistic artificial human video data to train 2D-3D human mapping models and show promising results when compared to models trained on real data.

Full textAbstract:
From the first post-war trials to the recent libel trial in the London High Court brought by Holocaust denier David Irving against Penguin Books and American academic Deborah Lipstadt the real-life courtroom has provided more than a legal judgment in respect of the Holocaust. As legal scholar Lawrence Douglas has shown in The Memory of Judgment: Making Law and History in the Trials of the Holocaust (2001), this formal, institutionalised and controlled setting has also been the forum for an increasingly nuanced, often intentionally pedagogic, examination of the Holocaust. After nearly sixty years of trials there is a corpus of judicial proceedings that chronicles not only society's desire for justice but also the changing understanding of the Holocaust, how it is remembered and how that memory is to be safeguarded. Analogous to this sequence of trials, American film has consistently utilised the law and the dialectic of the courtroom in its own attempts to represent, understand and explain the horror of the Holocaust, hi this thesis I provide a cultural history of these films (a generic term that encompasses both cinema releases and television movies/miniseries) to examine how the depiction, pertinence and understanding of the Holocaust in American life have altered since the 1940s. It is a thesis grounded in the tension between film and history as it explores how the fictive courtroom has represented the real-life trials as well as the Holocaust. This explores how the cinema has used different strategies of representation to bear witness in the cinematic courtroom to an event which is said to defy representation. In conclusion it argues that the courtroom is a setting with its limitations in respect of Holocaust representation, but it is these very limitations which are the reason for the courtroom genre's continued appeal.

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar o desenvolvimento da mecânica racional newtoniana, particularmente acompanhar sua inauguração com os Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica e a subseqüente recepção do programa pela filosofia continental, no século XVIII, por alguns intelectuais e cientistas. Utiliza-se a metodologia dos programas de pesquisa científica como referencial epistemológico na caracterização e descrição do programa, e também a abordagem historiográfica que ela implica. Epistemologicamente, procura-se escrutinar e precisar o sentido da noção de núcleo duro, em particular sua aplicação ao programa newtoniano de mecânica racional, mediante a análise detida do que Lakatos concebeu como o núcleo duro do mencionado programa, as leis dinâmicas e da gravitação apresentadas nos livros I e III dos Principia. O núcleo do programa da mecânica racional newtoniana é pensado por Newton como axiomas ou leis do movimento (Axiomata sive leges motus). Essa caracterização das hipóteses fundamentais da mecânica newtoniana aponta para sua centralidade, o que aparentemente confirma a idéia fundamental de Lakatos de que um programa de pesquisa é caracterizado pelo seu núcleo duro. A questão que motiva este ensaio pode ser formulada nos seguintes termos: dado que, segundo Lakatos, o núcleo duro é o componente conceitual (caracterizado metodologicamente) que define os contornos da prática científica em determinado campo, primeiro, não seria o núcleo duro estruturado através da correlação com outros componentes da teoria de racionalidade de Lakatos, em particular da heurística positiva? Segundo, as suposições compartilhadas pelos partidários de um programa de pesquisa possuirão alguma característica distintiva (epistemológica) que legitime sua proteção em relação à refutação? Por fim, aplicada à história da ciência, esta noção metodológica resiste a um escrutínio historiográfico?The aim of this paper was to investigate the development of Newtonian rational mechanics, in special to analyze our rise with the publication of Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica and the consequent program reception by the continental philosophy. Was used the methodology of scientific research programs like epistemological framework in the programs characterization and description, and too the historiography approach entangled by it. Epistemologically the aim is to scrutiny and to particularize the notion of hard core, specially in your application to Newtonian rational mechanics program, through the analyze of Lakatos conception of referred programs hard core: the dynamics laws of motion and the law of gravitation , presented in books I and III of Principia. To summarize, the question which motive this paper can be formulated in the following way: accepted the supposition that the hard core is the conceptual component which define the demarcation of the scientific practice in a established scope stability, first, the hard core will be not reducible to the others components of Lakatos´ theory of scientific rationality, like a face of positive heuristics? Second, will have the shared suppositions in a scientific program any distinctive characters (epistemological) which legitimate the protection of them face the refutation? At last, applied to the History of Science, this epistemological notion resist against a historic scrutiny?

Full textAbstract:
Michigan’s Food, Agriculture, and Resources in Motion (FARM) Science Lab is a 40-foot mobile classroom outfitted with 10 learning stations including scientific equipment and iPads. This quasi-experimental study analyzed preexisting data provided by Michigan Agriculture in the Classroom to evaluate the effectiveness of the FARM Science Lab mobile classroom as a method of teaching agriculture-themed, standards-based lessons to third- through fifth-grade students in order to increase their understanding of agriculture. From January through June 2018, more than 1,258 students participated in these lessons and completed the pretest and posttest and 72 teachers completed the post survey. Research questions not only addressed student learning but also teacher’s perceptions of the mobile classroom program and measured differences between rural, suburban and urban student populations.
Four lessons were offered to students in third through fifth grade during the time of this study. Each lesson had a unique pretest and posttest provided to each school by Michigan Agriculture in the Classroom using Google Forms. Students and teachers participated in the agricultural lessons within existing classroom groups; therefore, this was not a random sample of either population. During the timeframe of this study, all sections of each grade level for each participating school were engaging in FARM Science Lab programming; therefore, no control groups were used in this research. The student and teacher data were analyzed using standard statistical tools including t-tests and Cohen’s d.Difficulty and item discrimination values provided more confidence in the reliability of the question as a measure of knowledge change after participation in the FARM Science Lab intervention.
Results indicated there were statistically significant differences in knowledge between pretest and posttest scores for nearly all grade level/lesson groups. Each individual question was analyzed for statistically significant change in addition to overall test scores. Some questions did not see statistically significant changes from pretest to posttest for each group. These results suggested the FARM Science Lab was making a difference in students’ agricultural understanding, at a basic knowledge level, after a short intervention. The assessment questions tested the recall of facts rather than an understanding of a whole concept about science or agriculture. Teacher surveys indicated the FARM Science lab did address appropriate educational standards for their respective grade levels. Teachers also believed agriculture could be very effectively used to contextualize science concepts. The final research question addressed differences in rural, suburban and urban student gains from pretest to posttest. The FARM Science Lab did not visit any urban schools during the time of this study. Of the grade/lesson groups which did have a rural and suburban population to compare, there were some differences in scores between students’ responses in each geographic location. These populations were small therefore these differences may not be generalized to the larger population.

Full textAbstract:
Au début du xxe siècle, pour certains écrivains européens qui délaissent l'orientalisme du siècle précédent, la Chine devient l'emblème de la difficile rupture historiqe de la modernité. La révolution de 1911, le passage d'un empire plusieurs fois millénaire et d'une idéologie impériale confucéenne à des formes d'organisation politique nouvelles, la démocratisation inégale et en fin de compte avortée de la Chine ont également provoqué la réflexion des écrivains chinois de la génération du 4 mai. À partir de cinq oeuvres singulières, nous avons cherché à montrer comment la fiction peut construire des parcours historiques sinueux donnant forme au changement politique et intellectuel. Ces parcours correspondent à autant de dispositifs fictionnels qui remettent en cause les liens entre la littérature et la production de normes et de légitimité politique. Les fictions du pouvoir mettent en abyme le pouvoir propre de la fiction, s'interrogeant sur son rapport complexe avec le pouvoir traditionnel et les institutions politiques nouvelles. En rompant avec la tradition, ces oeuvres sont-elles capables de redéfinir le statut de la fiction en tant que pratique sociale et en tant que discours sur le pouvoir légitime dans le contexte d'une évolution démocratique ? Les auteurs étudiés accordent une place importante aux apories de la démocratisation qui s'imposent à la fiction, refusant aussi bien la complétude du monde fictionnel qu'un discours auctorial qui occulterait les tensions de l'intrigue. La confrontation systématique des oeuvres chinoises et européennes doit permettre de mieux comprendre les singularités du modernisme chinois, mais aussi de s'interroger sur les apories communes à des écrivains soucieux d'inscrire la fiction dans un espace démocratique incertain.

Full textAbstract:
La femme occupe, dans l’œuvre du peintre cubain Wifredo Lam (1902-1982), une place fondamentale et détient un statut particulier aussi bien au sein de son bestiaire formel syncrétique qu’au cœur de son discours artistique tant poétique que politique. Représentée de façon réaliste, stylisée, fantastique et hybridée, élevée au rang d’idole totémique et parée d’une pluralité d’identités, la figure féminine a été convertie par l’artiste en une créature omniprésente et omnipotente dont les visages multiples et parfois simultanés reflètent le principe féminin dans sa diversité, sa complexité et son ambiguïté. Dans son œuvre originale qui invite les hommes à entreprendre une émancipation totale de leur être et à redéfinir leur identité en vue de l’avènement d’une nouvelle humanité plus juste et fraternelle, la femme semble s’imposer comme une figure inspiratrice et initiatrice, comme une conseillère et un guide spirituel accompagnant les hommes comme les femmes sur cette longue et délicate voie. En retraçant l’historiographie de la figure féminine dans l’œuvre picturale de Wifredo Lam, en considérant ses différents modes de manifestation et en distinguant les identités tant bénéfiques que maléfiques dont elle a été investie par l’artiste, une tentative d’appréhension globale de l’entité féminine par celui-ci sera envisagée en vue de déterminer la fonction qu’il a voulu attribuer à la femme non seulement dans son expression artistique personnelle mais également dans l’écriture culturelle de son tempsIn the work of the Cuban painter Wifredo Lam (1902-1982), the female figure, with her singular status within his formal syncretism vocabulary, as well as her place at the very heart of his artistic, poetic and political discourse, holds a fundamental position. The Woman, depicted in a realistic, stylized, hybridized and fantastic manner, is elevated to the rank of a totemic idol with a plurality of identities, the artist converts the female figure into an omnipresent and omnipotent creature with multiple, sometimes simultaneous faces, that reflect the female idea in its diversity, complexity and ambiguity. The œuvre of Wifredo Lam has always encouraged mankind to work for a total emancipation of their being, in order to reach a new more just and fraternal society. In this process, the Woman imposes herself as the figure that inspires, like a spiritual and initiated guide, an advisor that accompanies both Men and Women on this long and tenuous path. By retracing the history of the female figure in the work of Wifredo Lam, by taking into account all his representations of women, and by distinguishing both the benevolent or malefic forces that the artist has vested in them as well as his attempt to apprehend, in its entirety, the female identity, the scope of this study will be to analyze and determine the function that the artist bestowed on women not only in his personal artistic expression but within the cultural expression of his time

[EN] Ray Harryhausen (1920-2103) was the creator of the animation special effects of The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad (1958), Jason and the Argonauts (1964) or Clash of the Titans (1981), but his share in the movies went further, suggesting arguments, designing scenes and animating creatures. For that reason he is considered not only an animator, but the soul of the films in which he participated.
This research attempts to analyze the reasons why we believe that Ray Harryhasusen is one of the greatest fantasy film creators of the history, an universal and unique craftsman, as Méliès and Walt Disney. Through a tour of his life and work focus on people and circumstances that we have considered relevant to his sentimental education and training as an artist, whether through family or professional relationships, or through movies like King Kong or such the works of Gustave Doré or Charles R. Knight.
The most important thing that has transpired in his films has been the creatures that starred in, real stars that relieved the human actors into the background. All those creations emerged from the author's own mind and reflect his personality and love for fantasy and the supernatural through the purely craftsmanship technic like Dynamation. This gallery is made up of dinosaurs, mythological animals, aliens, legendary monsters and all sorts of creatures, not monsters, arising from his imagination and encouraged by his own hand. In this work will treat each of them, analyzing their origins, design, movement, character and influence in later works of other authors or fields, meeting with style striking and revealing similarities of style and design. This rerearch, in sum, is a love letter to Harryhausen.[ES] Ray Harryhausen (1920-2103) fue el creador de los efectos especiales de animación de Simbad y la princesa (1958), Jasón y los argonautas (1964) o Furia de titanes (1981), pero su participación en las películas fue más allá, sugiriendo argumentos, diseñando escenas y animando las criaturas. Por esa razón se le considera no solo un animador, sino el alma de las películas en las que participó. Este trabajo trata de analizar las razones por las que consideramos que Ray Harryhasusen es uno de los más grandes creadores de fantasía de la historia del cine, un artesano universal e irrepetible, como Méliès y Walt Disney. Mediante un recorrido por su vida y obra se hace especial atención en las personas y circunstancias que hemos considerado relevantes para su educación sentimental y formación como artista, ya sean a través de relaciones personales, familiares o profesionales, películas como King Kong u obras como las de Gustavo Doré o Charles R. Knight. Lo que más ha trascendido de sus películas ha sido las criaturas que las protagonizaron, auténticas estrellas que relevaron a los actores a un segundo plano. Todas aquellas creaciones surgieron de la propia mente del autor y reflejaron su personalidad y amor por la fantasía y lo sobrenatural a través de una técnica puramente artesanal como la Dynamation. Dicha galería está formada por dinosaurios, animales mitológicos, alienígenas, monstruos legendarios y toda clase de criaturas, que no monstruos, surgidas de su imaginación y animadas por su propia mano. En este trabajo daremos cuenta de cada uno de ellos, analizando su procedencia, diseño, movimiento, carácter e influencias en obras posteriores de otros autores y otros campos, encontrándonos con semejanzas de estilo y diseño sorprendentes y reveladoras. Este trabajo, en suma, es una carta de amor a Harryhausen.

This thesis will examine the interactions of a cloud of charged vortex rings (CVRs) in the low temperature limit in helium-II (0.2 < T < 0.8 K) in a cubic cell containing a quasi-uniform electric field. A model of geometric collisions between vortex rings is proposed to explain the observed critical density of CVRs given by nR^3 ~ 3 cm^{-1} R where n is the CVR number density and R is the average CVR radius. This model was simulated in a simplified situation where two perfectly circular parent CVRs collide geometrically to create two perfectly circular daughter CVRs, conserving momentum and charge and dissipating a random amount of energy. The simulations are in qualitative and quantitative agreement with experiment.For an intense injection of CVRs into a strong electric field the CVRs quickly reconnect with one another to form a tangle of charged vortex loops. These loops move as one quasi-connected unit, it was found that the charged tangle's response to forcing was given by a law of the form t3 ~ (QE)^{-1/3} where t3 is the charged tangle time of flight, Q is the charge of the tangle and E is the applied electric field. Simulations of the displacement current induced in two electrodes in the cell were run in order to glean some information as to the transverse distribution of charge in the tangle, which was found to be approximately constant with time of flight and injected charge.

Réduire l'énergie générée par le frottement et dissipée dans les systèmes mécaniques réels est un des challenges actuels en tribologie. Ce point représente une importance toute particulière dans le domaine des transports terrestres. En réponse à cette nécessité, les constructeurs automobiles se concentrent sur la réduction de la consommation d'énergie en sélectionnant des lubrifiants et des matériaux appropriés d'une part et les systèmes mécaniques performants d'autre part. Grâce à leurs propriétés physiques et tribologiques en termes de réduction de la friction et de l'usure, les couches minces de DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) sont considérées comme l'une des solutions. Le comportement tribologique de couches minces de ta-C (carbone amorphe très dur dépourvu d'hydrogène) et de a-C:H (carbone amorphe hydrogéné) est ici exploré. D'autre part, des "lubrifiants verts" et des additifs participant aussi à la réduction du frottement et de l'usure sont testés. Ces essais sont effectués dans différentes conditions en utilisant une nouvelle méthodologie expérimentale. Le tribomètre dynamique oscillant développé au LTDS possède la capacité de quantifier avec une très grande précision et sans recourir à une quelconque mesure de force, des niveaux de frottement faibles (dans la gamme 10 - 5 à 10 - 2), et permet en plus d'identifier différentes contributions du frottement. Dans un premier temps, une loi de frottement linéaire a été utilisée afin d'évaluer deux contributions de frottement. La première, μ0 est le coefficient transitoire de frottement quand la vitesse s'annule au changement de direction (du type frottement de Coulomb). La seconde, μ1, est une contribution dépendante de la vitesse de glissement. Ensuite, une étude numérique a été réalisée en appliquant une loi de frottement quadratique afin de mieux comprendre l'aspect dynamique des réponses libres. Cela nous a permis d'étudier numériquement la décroissance d'amplitude des oscillations déterminée grâce à la méthode de moindres carrés. Nous nous intéressons aussi à l'étude des formes de l'enveloppe de ces oscillations en relation avec le modèle de frottement. Les résultats numériques et expérimentaux pour les lois de frottement linéaire et quadratique sont ensuite comparés. En complément, nous avons mesuré la force tangentielle correspondant aux tribosystèmes testés. Finalement, nous avons étudié numériquement un système dynamique masse-ressort à un degré de liberté, modélisé par la loi de frottement LuGre. Cette loi est décrite par le phénomène d'hystérésis et l'effet de décalage de temps qui ont été détectés expérimentalement. Les résultats expérimentaux obtenus avec le tribomètre oscillant montrent qu'ils sont qualitativement comparables à ceux obtenus en configuration classique cylindre-plan, travaillant à vitesse de glissement constante. Dans tous les cas, les résultats montrent la supériorité du tribosystème ta-C/ta-C dans la réduction du frottement μ0. De plus, les résultats numériques et expérimentaux sont cohérents. Cette étude montre qu'une loi de frottement quadratique est capable de décrire correctement toutes les formes d'enveloppes obtenues expérimentalement : droite, convexe, concave et une combinaison des formes convexe et concave.

Full textAbstract:
Le Saint Augustin d’Arendt n’est pas le thème de ma thèse, mais l’on pourrait dire qu’il a créé l’espace à l’origine de sa possibilité. Sa définition du concept de monde comme création et pluralité réfléchissait en miroir dans "La Comédie" et dans les "Episodios" son exact reflet. Deuxièmement parce qu’il me permettait de transformer l’héritage littéraire le plus important que Balzac léguerait à Galdós (la littérature comme monde qui redouble le monde) en un fondement politique pour une réflexion du politique. J’ai décidé de faire de la penseuse allemande un immense dispositif conceptuel construit à partir de la lecture de son propre corpus théorique et des œuvres issues d’une double tradition. La tradition brisée dans laquelle elle-même a décidé de s’inscrire (Saint Augustin, Kant, Aristote, Machiavel et Homère). Et la tradition à laquelle elle a elle-même donnée lieu dans la philosophie française contemporaine (Abensour, Rancière et Lefort). C’est également cette relation entre Arendt et la tradition qui crée la marge théorique rendant possible ma propre pensée. Je prends comme prémisse de départ la définition de l’héroïsme qu’Arendt trouve chez Homère pour arriver à une lecture des auteurs objet d´étude dans une perspective doublement homérique. Il ne faut pas un grand effort théorique pour voir dans le peuple-héros de Galdós les sujets de l´épique première: le champ homérique qui se dévoile dans le “Madrid du 2 mai”; la mênis du peuple-Achille; les vies des héros innombrables tournées vers le champ des affaires publiques… Le rapport du monde morcelé de La Comédie avec Homère est de la même profondeur. L’Océan est la métaphore totale qui autorise l’utilisation du modèle héroïque de l’épique seconde: le flâneur comme nouveau Ulysse; la rencontre avec l´original "bios politikos" du grand nombre balzacienThis study seeks the political rehabilitation of the imaginary through an in-depth analysis of Balzac’s "La Comédie Humaine" and Galdós’s "Episodios Nacionales". Taking as its starting point Hannah Arendt’s conception of the political as a sphere of appearingness (which is also studied by her followers in contemporary French political philosophy: Miguel Abensour, Jacques Rancière and Claude Lefort), the novels are analyzed from a phenomenological perspective in which the heroic principle is revealed to be a dynamic form of an original political subjectivity -the people, the many, the “hoi polloi”- that inserts the one´s self into the world and initiates it’s own story. The experience of sharing a common space with others can enable us to uncover two fundamentally different models of heroism. On the one hand, the heroism of origins is that of the absolute beginning in the foundational ur-moment (the Peninsular Wars of the "Episodios Nacionales´ First Series"). In this time in which everything called for heroic deeds, the shape of Galdosian characters perfectly matches the narrative form of the story. On the other hand, the heroism of modernity is that of a precarious political subjectivity that takes advantage of quotidian spaces, the neglected corners of the metropolis (the Paris of La Comédie), to reveal to the reader an unthought-of "bios politikós": the human capacity to start something new, the power of mobilization of the many which sets off new processes beyond their own control, and a death without the radiant of glory

A la frontière entre les industries du divertissement et la production culturelle, grand fournisseur de contenu à l'économie numérique, l'industrie du cinéma soulève des questions intéressantes dans le champ de l'économie et du marketing. Cette thèse répond à trois questions empiriques importantes sur ce sujet à l'aide de différentes méthodes adaptées (économétrie des données de panel, différence-de-différences, économétrie structurelle) et propose un nouveau développement théorique du modèle nested logit. Le premier chapitre étudie l'effet des notes des consommateurs sur Internet, et analyse la complémentarité et la substituabilité de ces notes avec l'information disponible avant la sortie des films en salle. Le deuxième chapitre étudie l'effet redistributif de la loi anti-piratage Hadopi sur les entrées des films en salle, en écartant minutieusement les phénomènes alternatifs pouvant affecter les résultats. Le troisième chapitre considère la saisonnalité dans l'industrie française du cinéma et décompose séparément les entrées des films en salle en le niveau de l'offre (le nombre et la qualité des films), la demande saisonnière sous-jacente, les variations météorologiques, et les promotions nationales en estimant un modèle nested logit à trois étages tenant compte de la congestion des films dans les salles de cinéma. Le modèle est utilisé pour identifier les dates de sortie optimales en fonction des types de filmAt the frontier between entertainment industries and cultural production, vital content provider of digital economy, the motion picture industry raises several interesting questions in the field of economics and marketing. This dissertation tackles three important empirical questions in the motion picture industry using different methods (panel data models, difference-in-differences, and structural econometrics) and brings a new theoretical development about the nested logit model. The first chapter deals with online consumer reviews, also known as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), and focuses on the extent to which prerelease information alters the effect of eWOM on movie sales. The second chapter studies the collateral damages of the French anti-piracy law known as Hadopi on box office performances of movies, by carefully ruling out alternative explanations of the result. The third chapter investigates on seasonality in the French movie industry. The analysis separately identifies and decomposes movie sales into the number and quality of available movies, underlying seasonal demand, weather shocks, and national sales promotion by estimating a three-level nested logit model of weekly demand accounting for congestion on movie theaters' screens. The model is used to identify optimal release periods depending on the types of movie

Full textAbstract:
Motion and motor patterns of low back pain (LBP) sufferers have been demonstrated as different compared to those without LBP. The mechanism behind such movement alterations is not well known but is believed to be related to pain. Current biomechanical measurement of lumbar curvature and kinematics has limitations for routine clinical use. The aims of this research were to (1) investigate new motion analysis technology for dynamic lumbar curvature (fibre-optic sensors) and higher order kinematic assessment (inertial sensors) within a clinical environment; (2) determine the effect of pain relief on lumbar curvature, kinematics and muscle function in acute low back pain (ALBP) and chronic low back pain (CLBP) sufferers. Dynamic lumbar curvature was found to be reliably measureable in the clinic. Additional analysis demonstrated that regional curvature, as well as sequencing of curvature change measurement was possible. ALBP sufferers display less peak curvature during flexion and lifting compared to CLBP sufferers and both groups demonstrated the greatest curvature change in the second quartile for flexion and lifting and first for extension. Partial pain relief did not increase curvature in either group, and neither group was more likely to respond to pain relief by increasing curvature or altering sequencing. Higher order kinematics could be reliably and readily indentified in the clinic using inertial sensors. Movement-velocity plots were employed to describe the movement trajectory and irregularity. Multivariate analysis of variance revealed that neither partial pain relief (pre vs post) nor chronicity (acute vs chronic) had any effect on lumbar kinematics. Individuals appeared to exhibit different electromyography profiles. Those individuals with little deviation in muscle activation commonly displayed lower kinematic values. Partial pain relief did not alter the pattern of EMG profile, muscle onset timing or peak amplitude. These results suggest that clinicians should not expect automatic alterations in motion and motor patterns following interventions which target and achieve partial pain relief.

Full textAbstract:
Together with the globalized corporate world come a number of social and environmental issues, many times caused by the corporations themselves. However, it happens that corporations do not take their responsibilities in limiting their sometimes, harmful practices. Companies with a willingness to create positive change can do this, by working with corporate social responsibility (CSR). The question is however, whether companies actually are taking their responsibilities by implementing CSR work, or if they are using the concept as a business strategy for additional profit. To answer this question, one could look at the driving factors behind a company’s CSR programs as well as investigating the level of integration of the CSR programs in the company’s daily business. Companies working with CSR exist globally, however, there is one country that researchers have found to be a special case, namely, India. Therefore, this bachelor thesis examines different driving motives behind CSR in India through a literature review, as well as answers how well integrated Indian companies CSR activities are within their core businesses, by conducting a case study on an Indian company. The results of this study show that moral, strategic and legal motives can be factors in the decision to engage in CSR by Indian companies. Also, the level of integration partly depends on the previously mentioned motives.

Full textAbstract:
Cet essai entend démontrer comment les frontières, qui se trouvent à tous les niveaux de l’univers littéraire de Carlos Fuentes, font partie d’une esthétique et d’une posture philosophique adoptées par l’écrivain. Observer le monde selon deux angles différents, qui ne créent pas d’opposition mais entre plutôt en compénétration, ouvre ainsi un horizon de possibilités. Les frontières historiques et géographiques (comme la blessure paradigmatique qui sépare le Mexique des Etats-Unis) mais aussi les frontières sociales ou urbaines et les frontières anthropologiques, biologiques et ontologiques, exposent le monde imaginaire à travers sa contradiction et son double aspect, ce qui reflète ainsi la pensée dialectique du grand écrivain mexicain. Les frontières, qu’elle soit fragmentation et union, sont le support pour le contraste. Le mouvement, imposé par la présence de cette frontière, à la fois obstacle et seuil, se confirme comme une attitude engagée face à l’existence humaine. Qu’il soit conquête, ou plutôt “contre-conquête”, déplacement, inclusion ou transgression, le mouvement implique une relation entre le même et l’autre. Les passages des frontières mettent en évidence les traumatismes personnels et les stigmates nationaux, et obligent à réfléchir, comme thématique principale, sur les relations humaines et les chocs entre l’identité et l’altéritéThis essay intends to demonstrate how the borders, which are at all levels of the literary universe of Carlos Fuentes, are part of an aesthetics and philosophical posture adopted by the writer. Observe the world from two different angles, which do not create opposition but rather enter into interpenetration, opens in this way a horizon of possibilities. The historical and geographical borders (such as injury paradigm that separates Mexico from USA) but also social or urban borders and anthropological, biological and ontological borders, show the imaginary world through its contradiction and its dual aspect, which thus reflects the dialectical thought of the great Mexican writer. Borders, whether fragmentation and union, are the support for the contrast. The movement, imposed by the presence of the border, both obstacle and threshold, is confirmed as a committed against human existence. It is conquest, or rather “against-conquest”, displacement, inclusion or transgression, movement implies a relationship between the same and the other. Borders crossings highlight the personal traumas and the national stigmas, and force to think, as main theme, on human relationships and impacts between identity and otherness

Full textAbstract:
Dans le "Lancelot en prose", les atteintes à l'intégrité corporelle ne fonctionnent pas uniquement en relation avec l'activité belliqueuse des chevaliers. Ells sont outils de l'art romanesque, employés dans la construction des épisodes et des trames narratives, dans la hiérarchisation des personnages, etc. Eles impliquent des considérations spirituelles et corporelles : entre la souffrance démentie et la souffrance exaltée, le corps des chevaliers, héroïque mais vulnérable, suit au fil des pages des blessures multiples déterminant la place des chevaliers par rapport à l'aventure et contribuant à la pertinence du "topos" signifiant du chevalier blessé. Enfin, la blessure est signe de l'élection et signe de la violence indue ou glorifiée. Son interprétation dépend de sa localisation et de sa nature, s'entremêle avec celle du sang qui en coule et implique la symbolique chrétienne au même titre que les croyances primitives.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est centralisée sur cette question : comment est-ce que le système visuel peut coder efficacement la position des objets en mouvement, en dépit des diverses sources d'incertitude ? Cette étude déploie une hypothèse sur la connaissance a priori de la cohérence temporelle du mouvement (Burgi et al 2000; Yuille and Grzywacz 1989). Nous avons ici étendu le cadre de modélisation précédemment proposé pour expliquer le problème de l'ouverture (Perrinet and Masson, 2012). C'est un cadre d'estimation de mouvement Bayésien mis en oeuvre par un filtrage particulaire, que l'on appelle la prévision basé sur le mouvement (MBP). Sur cette base, nous avons introduit une théorie du codage de position basée sur le mouvement, et étudié comment les mécanismes neuronaux codant la position instantanée de l'objet en mouvement pourraient être affectés par le signal de mouvement le long d'une trajectoire. Les résultats de cette thèse suggèrent que le codage de la position basé sur le mouvement peut constituer un calcul neuronal générique parmi toutes les étapes du système visuel. Cela peut en partie compenser les effets cumulatifs des délais neuronaux dans le codage de la position. En outre, il peut expliquer des changements de position basés sur le mouvement, comme par example, l'Effect de Saut de Flash. Comme un cas particulier, nous avons introduit le modèle de MBP diagonal et avons reproduit la réponse anticipée de populations de neurones dans l'aire cortical V1. Nos résultats indiquent qu'un codage en position efficace et robuste peut être fortement dépendant de l'intégration le long de la trajectoireCoding the position of moving objects is an essential ability of the visual system in fulfilling precise and robust tracking tasks. This thesis is focalized upon this question: How does the visual system efficiently encode the position of moving objects, despite various sources of uncertainty? This study deploys the hypothesis that the visual systems uses prior knowledge on the temporal coherency of motion (Burgi et al 2000; Yuille and Grzywacz 1989). We implemented this prior by extending the modeling framework previously proposed to explain the aperture problem (Perrinet and Masson, 2012), so-called motion-based prediction (MBP). This model is a Bayesian motion estimation framework implemented by particle filtering. Based on that, we have introduced a theory on motion-based position coding, to investigate how neural mechanisms encoding the instantaneous position of moving objects might be affected by motion. Results of this thesis suggest that motion-based position coding might be a generic neural computation among all stages of the visual system. This mechanism might partially compensate the accumulative and restrictive effects of neural delays in position coding. Also it may account for motion-based position shifts as the flash lag effect. As a specific case, results of diagonal MBP model reproduced the anticipatory response of neural populations in the primary visual cortex of macaque monkey. Our results imply that an efficient and robust position coding might be highly dependent on trajectory integration and that it constitutes a key neural signature to study the more general problem of predictive coding in sensory areas

Full textAbstract:
As transformações ocorridas no mundo pós grandes guerras, principalmente os males provocados pelo III Reich alemão, causaram uma reviravolta no estudo e aplicação das
normas jurídicas. O temor de que o Direito voltasse a ser usado como instrumento capaz de causar tais horrores fomentou a instituição de Tribunais Constitucionais, além do
desenvolvimento do judicial review americano de construção judicial do Direito, que disseminou também nesse período seus ideais de democracia e aplicação normativa ao resto
do mundo. O advento do modelo de Estado Social e Democrático de Direito traz à baila novos direitos, sobretudo de natureza fundamental, que precisam ser concretizados. Os institutos da intervenção política dos juízes em esferas de decisão outrora estabelecidos apenas ao Legislativo e Executivo, põem em xeque a permanência da tripartição de poderes, idealizada sob a égide do Estado Liberal e que agora não mais serve para explicar uma realidade de Estado intervencionista, traz o perigo do governo do toga. Entre os propulsores desta efervescência do Poder Judiciário estão a globalização, os conceitos de pós-modernidade, com
a quebra de todos os paradigmas da modernidade, a insuficiência do cartesianismo subsuntivo baseado nos conceitos do positivismo para aplicação do direito, com a quebra dos mitos da neutralidade, inércia e imparcialidade do Judiciário, além do desarranjo da teoria de que o juiz
não cria norma capaz de inovar o ordenamento jurídico, além do Neo constitucionalismo e da liberdade de interpretação das normas, sobretudo aquelas de Direito Constitucional são, como
dissemos, aliados do fato de existência da Judicialização e da atitude pró ativa dos juízes na condução do processo judicial. A existência de normas abertas e principiológicas aliados a
inoperância do Poder Legislativo, atrelado ao sentido de crise do direito legislado e da atuação do Poder Executivo, o qual não consegue efetivar direitos, deram aos juízes o Poder de
incrementar, na sua atuação, agigantando seus limites. De sorte que faz-se necessário o pensar de alternativas para solução dos conflitos que possam surgir com este fenômeno. Sobretudo aqueles que estejam ligados à necessidade de controle à interpretação efetuada pelos magistrados, impondo-se limites, como ainda o fato do questionamento sobre a legitimidade de suas decisões, haja vista a franca ausência de instrumentos de análise democrática, ausência de legitimação popular por meio do sufrágio, traz-nos as explicações das teorias procedimentalistas e subjetivistas; além das idéias desenvolvidas por Dworkin e Viehweg como possíveis solução para resolução do problema dos hard cases e das lacunas normativas. De certo faz-se necessário o pensar sobre a perenidade ou eternidade dos conceitos de Judicialização e do Ativismo Judicial nas sociedades emergentes desta nova realidade que se desenha

Full textAbstract:
Le comportement de tout être humain sain d’esprit s’explique par une multitude de raisons. Outre la science psychologique, le droit, y compris le droit des contrats, s’intéresse à ces raisons, appelés motifs. Cet intérêt résulte du fait que le comportement des contractants n’est pas abstrait ; il révèle toujours l’existence de divers motifs. Or, le droit objectif ne peut accorder une importance juridique à tous les motifs des parties, étant donné que les motifs représentent une catégorie psychologique et que leur prise en compte illimitée mettrait en péril la sécurité juridique. La présente thèse de doctorat a pour but de proposer une analyse critique de la prise en compte des motifs des parties à partir d’une comparaison des droits français, serbe et anglaisThe behaviour of every individual of sound mind is explained by a variety of reasons. Besides psychological science, Law, including contract law, is interested by those reasons, called motives. This interest results from the fact that the behaviour of contracting parties is not abstract; it always reveals the existence of a variety of motives. However, the legal rules of a given domestic system cannot attribute an importance to all motives of parties. This is so because motives represent a psychological category and taking into account in an unlimited way those motives would imperil security in law. This present doctoral thesis aims at proposing a critical analysis of the taking into account of parties’ motives through a comparative study of French, Serbian and English law

Full textAbstract:
Lawn is a homogenized element of modern urban green space. Due to historical and cultural characteristics of Swedish urban planning, lawns are the main common typology in Uppsala (77.3%). Despite the strong attachment of Uppsala people to green carpets, the multibillion lawn industry is highly costly in terms of maintenance and management. It is also a source of pollution due to excessive mowing regime. In this research, social, cultural and regulatory motives behind establishment and management of Uppsala lawns among different stakeholders were researched and discussed through a transdisciplinary approach. In the light of three pillars of sustainability, I had a closer look at management and establishment of lawns in Uppsala municipality and Uppsala’s housing corporation. It was found out that social and recreational aspects of lawns are very much appreciated among all respondents. However, economical and environmental aspects of lawns are barley discussed among planners, managers and politicians and they are under the veil of social values. This research also found out that there is a strong attachment of general public to lawns. It can be explained by lacking of ecological knowledge and environmental understanding about the real role of lawns in urban biodiversity. One of the goals of my research was to find sustainable alternative solutions to the conventional lawns that can be implemented on city and neighbourhood scale as well as to educate public and professionals about importance of lawn’s biodiversity.LAWN project
