Full textAbstract:
The medical profession has been surrounded from mixed feelings of admiration, mysticism, as well as of fear and refusal. Authors and enthusiastic directors have dedicated serials and movies to the physicians’ everyday work, in their ebbs and tides. Albanian cinema produced a score of titles dedicated to the medical profession, with some movies focusing on the physician as the principal role, and some others more peripherally. The physician as a movie character underwent serious changes in the way the directors and scripts defined it, and maybe even in the way the general audience perceived the same. Changes in this modeling of physician’s character were part of the maturation process of the Albanian cinematography that has otherwise been strongly politicized from scholars; this trend could as well, or mainly, be related to the intrinsic alterations of the Albanian society from the immediate post WWII, until the fall of the totalitarian regime.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reports the findings of a study that had explored digital disruption as an analytical lens developed based on the constructs of two theories: the digital disruption theory and the disruptive innovation theory. The study had employed unstructured in-depth interviews, direct observation and virtual ethnographic to consult media experts, pioneer filmmakers, Bongo Movie’ producers, movies library’s keepers, movie retailers, movie translators (deejays) and social network sites (SNS) to collect data. Based on the study findings, the paper argues that the shift in technological paradigm, specifically from the use of expensive and inaccessible technologies used in filmmaking engendered the development and sustainability of the Bongo Movie genre in Tanzania. This technological paradigm shifts were twofold. To begin with, there was a transition from the use of celluloid film and analogue video cameras to digital video cameras in film production. Second, there was a shift from the use of optical prints and Vertical Helican Scan (VHS) tapes to optical discs such as Digital Versatile Discs (DVD) in the distribution of films. These changes in the technologies used in production and distribution of films provided entrants into the local film industry with necessary tools to produce low-budget films and service the low-end market of the country, which augured well with the country’s resource-poor context. Moreover, these Bongo Movies “disrupted” the erstwhile traditional, established, and stringent patterns of consumption of both locally-produced and foreign-imported films in local film markets. Overall, the Bongo Movie genre evolution appears to be a model of how digitally-motivated disruptions can occur in a local film market in a developing nation’s video-film industries and become a staple particularly among the low-end clientele.

The recommendation system integrated in movie streaming provides relevant information to viewers predicted by viewers’ past behaviors. There are basically two methods, Content-Based Filtering and Collaborative Filtering. In this article, our focus is on the second method which is based on memory, namely Neighborhood-based Collaborative Filtering (NBCF), to make movie recommendations to users given users’ information. Simultaneously, we have built an online movie website and integrated the movie recommendation system based on NBCF to assist users in movie selection. In the process of building the website, apart from building diagram of movie recommendation system’s functions, class diagram of movie recommendation function, sequence diagram of movie recommendation function, we also build a user-recommended movie model based on the Movies Lens[9] dataset for a fairly high accuracy, which is 99%.

Recommendation system is a crucial part of offering items especially in services that offer streaming. For streaming movie services on OTT, RS are a helping hand for users in finding new movies for leisure. In this paper, we propose a machine learning an approach based on auto encoders to produce a CF system which outputs movie rating for a user based on a huge DB of ratings from other users. Utilising Movie Lens dataset, we explore the use of deep learning neural network based Stacked Auto encoders to predict user s ratings on new movies, thereby enabling movie recommendations. We consequently implement Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to recommend movies to users. The experimental result showcase that our R S out performs a user-based neighbourhood baseline in terms of MSE on predicted ratings and in a survey in which user judge between recommendation s from both systems.

Recommendation System plays an important role in today’s era of e-commerce. From OTT platforms to the shopping application and music application everywhere we see that after watching a movie or buying an item, listening a song we are recommended with some other movie or item or song. Most of the time we select our next movie, item or song from the recommended one. In this paper I will give you a brief description of collaborative and user-based filtering. The data used in this research is taken from Movie Lens. The result obtained contains some movie recommendations.

Bollywood, aka the Mumbai film industry, is one of the biggest movie industries in the world with a current movie market share of worth 2.1 billion dollars and a target audience base of 1.2 billion people. While the entertainment impact in terms of lives that Bollywood can potentially touch is mammoth, no NLP study on social biases in Bollywood content exists. We thus seek to understand social biases in a developing country through the lens of popular movies. Our argument is simple -- popular movie content reflects social norms and beliefs in some form or shape. We present our preliminary findings on a longitudinal corpus of English subtitles of popular Bollywood movies focusing on (1) social bias toward a fair skin color (2) gender biases, and (3) gender representation. We contrast our findings with a similar corpus of Hollywood movies. Surprisingly, we observe that much of the biases we report in our preliminary experiments on the Bollywood corpus, also gets reflected in the Hollywood corpus.

The present study focuses on one of the contemporary American fairy tale movies to analyze the postmodernist aspects present in these movies. The researcher has selected the movie Tangled released in 2010 for this purpose, it is a remake of the famous fairy tale Rapunzel recorded by famous fairy tale writers, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. One of the most prominent patterns of analyzing the movies through the lens of postmodernism is the framework by Kevin Paul Smith, in his book The Postmodern Fairytale, Folkloric Intertexts in Contemporary Fiction. He has presented eight elements of intertextuality to examine the intertextual elements of the older fairy tales present in contemporary literature (2007). Analysis reveals these eight elements in Tangled (2010) that are evident in traces of postmodernity in the movie.

Full textAbstract:
In the era of Big Data, extremely complicated data is delivered from the system, of which it is impossible to collect the correct information with an online platform. In this research work, it provides a hybrid model for a movie-based recommender system; based on meta-heuristic firefly algorithm and fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering technique to evaluate rating of a movie for a specific user based on the similarity of users and historical data. The firefly algorithm was employed in the movie lens dataset to get the initial cluster and also to initialize the position of clusters. FCM is used to classify the similarity of the user ratings. The proposed collaborative recommender system performed well regarding accuracy and precision. Various metrics are used in a movie lens dataset like mean absolute error (MAE), precision, and recall. The experimental result delivered by the system provides more efficient performance compared to the existing system in term of mean absolute error (MAE).

Les sites web de critiques en ligne aident les utilisateurs à décider quoi acheter ou quels hôtels choisir. Ces plateformes permettent aux utilisateurs d’exprimer leurs opinions à l’aide d’évaluations numériques et de commentaires textuels. Les notes numériques donnent une idée approximative du service. D'autre part, les commentaires textuels donnent des détails complets, ce qui est fastidieux à lire. Dans cette thèse, nous développons de nouvelles méthodes et algorithmes pour générer des résumés personnalisés de critiques de films, basés sur les aspects, pour un utilisateur donné. Le premier problème que nous abordons consiste à extraire un ensemble de mots liés à un aspect des critiques de films. Notre évaluation montre que notre méthode est capable d'extraire même des termes impopulaires qui représentent un aspect, tels que des termes composés ou des abréviations. Nous étudions ensuite le problème de l'annotation des phrases avec des aspects et proposons une nouvelle méthode qui annote les phrases en se basant sur une similitude entre la signature d'aspect et les termes de la phrase. Le troisième problème que nous abordons est la génération de résumés personnalisés, basés sur les aspects. Nous proposons un algorithme d'optimisation pour maximiser la couverture des aspects qui intéressent l'utilisateur et la représentativité des phrases dans le résumé sous réserve de contraintes de longueur et de similarité. Enfin, nous réalisons trois études d’utilisateur qui montrent que l’approche que nous proposons est plus performante que la méthode de pointe en matière de génération de résumésOnline reviewing websites help users decide what to buy or places to go. These platforms allow users to express their opinions using numerical ratings as well as textual comments. The numerical ratings give a coarse idea of the service. On the other hand, textual comments give full details which is tedious for users to read. In this dissertation, we develop novel methods and algorithms to generate personalized, aspect-based summaries of movie reviews for a given user. The first problem we tackle is extracting a set of related words to an aspect from movie reviews. Our evaluation shows that our method is able to extract even unpopular terms that represent an aspect, such as compound terms or abbreviations, as opposed to the methods from the related work. We then study the problem of annotating sentences with aspects, and propose a new method that annotates sentences based on a similarity between the aspect signature and the terms in the sentence. The third problem we tackle is the generation of personalized, aspect-based summaries. We propose an optimization algorithm to maximize the coverage of the aspects the user is interested in and the representativeness of sentences in the summary subject to a length and similarity constraints. Finally, we perform three user studies that show that the approach we propose outperforms the state of art method for generating summaries

Full textAbstract:
Les années soixante-dix ont vu la résurgence d'un genre hollywoodien centré sur la figure du justicier civil, errant dans la modernité urbaine ou rurale afin d'éradiquer le crime en lieu et place des institutions officielles. Baptisé "vigilante movie" par la critique des années soixante-dix, ce type de film a connu son avènement commercial dans une séquence que nous situons entre 1968 et 1989.La majorité des œuvres concernées étant, à nos yeux, conscientes des contrastes et des égarements comportementaux de leurs personnages, nous nous attachons ici à analyser le regard critique porté par leurs auteurs sur la justice civile – un regard souvent occulté par les textes rédigés contre ces films, perçus comme des apologies conservatrices des solutions les plus draconiennes à la criminalité. Nous proposons donc de relever les procédés communs fondant la nature profondément pessimiste de ce cinéma d'action. Comme nous allons le voir, les cinéastes et les scénaristes des grands studios et des circuits de l'exploitation ont saisi que le vigilante est en soi l'outil idéal pour incarner tout à la fois l'Amérique, ses origines, son évolution, ses aspirations, son rêve de liberté et d'indépendanceWithin the nineteen-seventies, a Hollywoodian genre focusing on the vigilante archetype, wandering throughout urban or rural modernity in order to eradicate crime instead of legal institutions, came back in the public eye. Called "vigilante movie" by critics in the nineteen-seventies, this genre arose commercially within a period that we situate between 1968 and 1989. Since most works are, according to us, aware of the paradoxes and bewilderments of their characters, we try to analyze the critical view expressed by authors on vigilante justice - that is, a view often neglected by texts written against these movies, perceived as conservative glorifications of the most radical reactions to criminality. Therefore, we propose a collection of common aesthetic processes that define the pessimistic aspect of these action films. As we are about to see, filmmakers and screenwriters from major studios and exploitation channels have understood that the vigilante in itself is the ideal tool for the embodiment of America, its origins, its aspirations, its evolution, its dreams of liberty and independence

Resumo: Nesta dissertação apresentam-se interpretações para a Luz cinematográfica: políticas e manipulações dos momentos em luz no cinema. E suas sombras: as inscrições guardadas nos espaços escuros da tela: interpretações e significados. Essas interpretações dão-se em torno do filme "O triunfo da vontade", de Leni Riefenstahl, lugar em que se coloca o olhar, buscando, nas transparências e opacidades da imagem, remontar os vitrais que constituem as imagens nazistas e seus valores de ordem, pureza, poder e sacralização: uma transparência controlada em luz e difusa em sombras; sugerida nas sombras e opacas na luz. Através de um caminho - os dias e os lugares em que acontece o Congresso Nazista - procuram-se as imagens latentes em construção.

Full textAbstract:
Al giorno d’oggi l’attenzione mondiale sulle tecnologie a basso impatto energetico è in aumento a causa della consapevolezza di come il nostro stile di vita stia danneggiando la Terra. Il settore dell’illuminazione è una di queste tecnologie. La realizzazione del primo LED blu ad alta efficienza, con la possibilità di aumentare l’efficienza energetica, ha rivoluzionato molte tecnologie.
I materiali usati per la realizzazione dei LED blu sono il GaN e i suoi composti (InGaN e AlGaN) che sono in grado di emettere in tutto lo spettro visibile a seconda della composizione. Di conseguenza, lo sviluppo di questi materiali è stato fortemente supportato. Tuttavia manca tuttora un emettitore RGB composto interamente da nitruri. La grande maggioranza dei display commercialmente disponibili (LCD) usano fosfori per convertire in bianco la luce blu prodotta dai LED a base di nitruri, con grandi svantaggi in temini di efficienza energetica, scalabilità, tempi di switching e gamma cromatica. La tecnologia degli LCD sta raggiungendo i suoi limiti tecnologici e si stanno studiando nuovi emettitori. Tra questi, i micro-LED sono una delle alernative più promettenti. Questa nuova tecnologia dovrebbe permettere una riduzione nella dimensione dei pixel di due ordini di grandezza, un aumento dei luminosità, tempi di vita, tempi di risposta e una notevole riduzione dei costi di produzione. Attualmente la mancanza di un emettore rosso basato sul GaN è la principale ragione che ostacola la realizzazione di micro-LED ad alta efficienza. Perciò, riuscire a superare questo ostacolo permetterà uno sviluppo significativo della tecnologia dei display.
La bassa efficienza ad alte lunghezze d’onda dei LED a base nitruri è attribuita a diversi fattori. In primo luogo alla bassa qualità cristallina del materiale causata dalla bassa temperatura di crescita dell’InGaN necessarial per avere un’alta incorporazione di indio. In secondo luogo, gli alti campi elettrici nella struttura (quantum confined Stark effect, QCSE) causato dall’effetto piezoelettrico dovuto al grande mismatch reticolare tra GaN e InGaN.
Di recente, alcuni gruppi hanno osservato che uno strato di AlGaN sopra la quantum well di GaN/InGaN ha un effetto positivo sulle proprietà di emissione rispetto alle strutture GaN/InGaN/GaN. Questo risultato dimostra come questo sia uno dei più interessanti approcci per ottenere un LED rosso ad alta efficienza.
Lo scopo di questa tesi è migliorare la conoscenza degli effetti dell’AlGaN sull’emissione e ottenere un campione con emissione nel rosso. A questo scopo, Ho studiato l’influenza dei parametri di crescita sull’emissione (lunghezza d’onda, larghezza di riga e intensità) e li ho ottimizzati per avere emissione ad alte lunghezze d’onda. Inoltre, con delle simulazioni ho studiato gli effetti dello spessore e della composizione dello strato di AlGaN sulla lunghezza d’onda di emissione e la probabilità di ricombinazione.
I risultati hanno mostrato che l’AlGaN aumenta la lunghezza d’onda di emissione a cause dell’aumento della polarizzazione all’interno della QW. In base alla letteratura, un aumento del QCSE porta a una riduzione dell’intensità dell’emissione a causa della maggior separazione delle funzioni d’onda. Tuttavia è stato osservato un aumento dell’intensità dell’emissione. Ho quindi proposto una spiegazione basata sull’aumento di confinamento degli elettroni a causa del’aumento della barriera di potenziale. Questo può aumentare la sovrapposizione delle funzioni d’onda e ridurre l’interazione degli elettroni con i difetti circostanti, portando all’aumento dell’intensità dell’emissione.
Comprendere che il campo elettrico può essere visto come un alleato piuttosto che come un nemico può aprire nuovi percorsi per aumentare l’efficienza dei LED a base nitruri con emissione ad alte lunghezze d’onda.At present times, the world’s attention on energy-saving technologies is continuously rising due to the increased awareness of the governments on how our lifestyle is damaging the Earth. Lighting is one of the most important aspects which fall within this framework. The realization of the first high-efficiency blue LED, with the possibility to reduce the waste of energy while increasing the luminous intensity has revolutionized many technologies (i.e. automotive, displays, lighting, portable devices). The materials used to make the blue LED are GaN and its alloys (InGaN and AlGaN), a compound which can emit in the whole visible spectrum depending on the alloy composition. As a consequence of that achievement, strong effort was put into the development of these new materials for optoelectronic applications. However, despite all the progress that have been made, at present times we are still lacking an all-nitride based RGB emitter. Indeed, most of the currently available displays (LCDs) use phosphors to convert the blue light produced by nitride LEDs into white color with lots of drawbacks in terms of energetic efficiency, scalability, switching response and color gamut. Nowadays, the LCD technology is reaching its limit and new emitters are being studied. Among them, micro-LEDs is one of the most promising alternatives. This new technology should allow a reduction in pixel size of two order of magnitude, an increase in brightness, lifetime and response times and a substantial reduction in production costs. At present times, the lack of an efficient GaN-based red emitter is the main reason which hinders the realization of high-efficiency micro-LEDs. Therefore, being able to overcome this obstacle will result in a significant progress in the display technology. The low efficiency of long wavelength nitride LEDs is attributed to different reasons. First, the low crystal quality of the material due to the low growth temperature of InGaN required to have a high indium incorporation. Second, the high electric fields in the structure (i.e. quantum confined Stark effect, QCSE) originating from the piezoelectric effect due to the large lattice mismatch between GaN and InGaN. Recently, some groups have found that using an AlGaN capping layer on top of the GaN/InGaN quantum well has positive effects on emission properties compared to the typical structures used (i.e. GaN/InGaN/GaN quantum wells). The results reported in literature demonstrate that this is one of the most interesting approaches to obtain a high-efficiency red LED. The aim of this work is to improve the understanding of the AlGaN capping layer and its effects on emission properties and to obtain a sample with red emission. In order to do this, I have studied the influence of various growth parameters on the emission properties (i.e. peak wavelength, emission line width and intensity) and optimized them to obtain a long-wavelength emission. Moreover, using theoretical simulations I have studied the effect of AlGaN thickness and composition on emission wavelength and recombination probability. The results of this thesis showed that the AlGaN capping layer increases the emission wavelength due to the larger polarization field in the QW. Based on the literature, a larger QCSE is expected to reduce the emission intensity due to the larger wavefunction separation. However, it was observed an increase in emission intensity for the GaN/InGaN/AlGaN QWs compared to GaN/InGaN/GaN at the same wavelength. I proposed an explanation based on the increased confinement of electrons due to the larger potential barrier. This can increase the wavefunction overlap and reduce the interaction of electrons with point defects, resulting in an increased emission intensity. Understanding that the electric field can be seen as an allied rather than as an enemy may open alternative paths to improve the efficiency of long-wavelength nitride-based LEDs.

Sun, Wei. "Les tabous et l'autocensure : la sexualité, la violence et le politiquement correct dans les films de Zhang Yimou." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019MON30003.
Full textAbstract:
Les tabous et l’autocensure : la sexualité, la violence et le politiquement correct dans les films de Zhang YimouDans un film, la sexualité, la violence et le politiquement correct sont toujours les tabous qu’il faut traiter avec précaution. Malgré la mise en place de la classification cinématographique au monde occidental, le législateur s’empare quand même du contrôle des films au nom de la protection de la jeunesse, pas davantage en République populaire de Chine, le pouvoir communiste qui reste encore au XXIe siècle un régime autoritaire, a le pouvoir absolu des autocrates sur la création artistique. Par là, les tabous, en particulier le politiquement correct, sont interdits de toucher, et la censure omniprésente s’accompagne toujours du processus de la production du film, dont la conception du plan, la genèse du scénario, la réalisation, et la diffusion, provoque le réalisateur à faire l’autocensure lors de la création cinématographique.En tant que leader des cinéastes chinois à notre époque, Zhang Yimou est plutôt un signe légendaire qui témoigne du développement du film chinois, et ses œuvres abondantes, tant en quantité qu’en diversité, servent d’un objet parfait à l’analyse. La plupart de ses œuvres se réalisent à l’aide de l’adaptation cinématographique du texte. Par là, un contraste entre les deux modes d’expression, celui du récit et celui d’audiovisuel, met en relief l’altérité qui nous permet d’avancer notre étude sur la mise en scène de la sexualité, de la violence et du politiquement correct sur l’écran et l’autocensure de notre réalisateur lors de la création cinématographique.Notre étude se propose d’analyser le traitement des tabous par Zhang Yimou au cours de la création cinématographique dans le but de contourner la censure des autorités. Trois axes principaux de recherche ont été privilégiés dans ce travail : l’analyse de la censure cinématographique, son histoire, ses lois et règlements en droit du film, l’analyse de l’interview de Zhang Yimou à la télévision, et à la description de ses coopérateurs, et l’analyse en détail des œuvres filmiques de Zhang YimouTaboos and self-censorship : Sexuality, violence and political correctness in Zhang Yimou’s filmsIn a movie, sex, violence, and political correctness are often taboos. These taboos need to be handled with caution. Although the film grading system in Western countries has been established, those legislators still use cessation as an excuse to control the film in order to protect the minors. Moreover, as far as the People’s Republic of China is concerned, as one of the few remaining authoritarian regimes in the 21st century, the Communist regime has absolute arbitrary control over artistic creation. Therefore, these taboos, especially political correctness, are not allowed to touch. The ubiquitous review is often accompanied by the entire process of film production, which involves conception, script-writing, filming, and distribution, prompting the director to constantly self-censorize the film and television creationg process.As the leader of the contemporary Chinese film, Zhang Yimou is almost a legendary symbol, he witnessed the development of Chinese film. And his rich works, both in quantity and diversity, are undoubtedly the perfect research subject. Most of his works are derived from the adaptation of literature to film. The two different expression modes of literature and film, one is the textual expression, and the other is the audiovisual presentation, which forms a sharp contrast. The contrast helps us to study how to present sexuality, violence, and political correctness on the screen, as well as the director’s self-censorship during film-making.Our research focuses on analyzing that how Zhang Yimou is handling of thses taboos in the film-making process, thus avoiding the review of those in power. This paper mainly cuts into three latitudes: Firstly, for the study of film censorship, the study of its history, legal rules and articles. Secondly, the analysis of Zhang Yimou’s TV interviews and the descriptions of his collaborators, and finally a detailed and indepth analysis of Zhang Yimou’s works

Full textAbstract:
La recherche en marketing commence à tracer les contours d’un concept de marque humaine. Les parcours professionnels de certains de ces individus appréhendés tels des marques, comme ceux des réalisateurs de films, nous conduisent à soulever la question de l’extension de la marque humaine. Sachant que l’existence sociale de l’individu marqué dépend de la légitimité détenue auprès de publics clés (les membres internes de l’industrie, les critiques et le grand public), la question se pose alors de l’extension incongruente et du risque que représente cette extension spécifique pour les multiples légitimités de la marque humaine. Face à cette problématique, nous proposons d’étudier les mécanismes de perte et de gain de légitimités du réalisateur de film déclenchés par la sortie d’un film incongruent. En adoptant un design mixte, cette recherche montre que l’extension incongruente représente un risque de perte de légitimité moins élevé pour la marque humaine que l’extension modérément incongruente ou l’extension congruente. Et elle montre également que l’extension incongruente représente une opportunité de gain de légitimité plus élevé que les deux autres formes d’extensions. Cette thèse se conclut en soulignant que les processus de gain et de perte de légitimités constituent les dynamiques sous-jacentes des parcours professionnels des marques humaines et que suivant les mécanismes révélés, ces parcours professionnels peuvent être stratégiquement élaborésMarketing research has begun tracing the contours of a human brand concept. The subsequent issue of human brand extension arises as branded individuals (such as movie directors) can be seen moving forward in their careers. The question of incongruent human brand extension is particularly important because the social existences of these branded individuals depend on the legitimacy they hold in regards to various key constituencies (internal members of the industry, critics, the general public). And incongruent human brand extensions can represent a threat for these various legitimacies. We choose to look into this question by studying the mecanisms of movie director legitimation which are unleashed by incongruent film extensions. We use a mixed design method. And we demonstrate that human brands risk loosing less legitimacy with an incongruent extension than with a moderately incongruent extension or with a congruent extension. We also find that human brands can earn more legitimacy with an incongruent extension than with a moderately incongruent extension or with a congruent extension. This doctoral research highlights that the mecanisms by which branded individuals gain or loose legitimacy are the underlying dynamics of their career paths.

Full textAbstract:
Les diodes électroluminescentes (LEDs) utilisées dans les systèmes d'éclairage solide sont réalisées à base de GaN et de ses alliages. Bien que les LEDs commerciales soient principalement développées sur substrat saphir, les industriels et laboratoires de recherche s'intéressent également au substrat silicium, moins cher et disponible en de plus grands diamètres. Son utilisation pose cependant deux problèmes : la présence d'une importante densité de dislocations dans les couches épitaxiées et la mise en tension de celles-ci menant à l'apparition de fissures. Afin de les éviter, des solutions existent mais nécessitent des procédés de croissance longs et complexes entraînant une augmentation du coût de production.L'alternative proposée au cours de cette thèse consiste en la croissance sélective de pseudo-substrats de GaN sur silicium par épitaxie en phase vapeur aux organométalliques (EPVOM). La croissance sélective doit en effet permettre l'obtention d'un matériau de bonne qualité cristalline présentant une contrainte limitée (en évitant la coalescence) tout en réduisant la durée d'épitaxie. Nos travaux ont porté sur l'analyse de l'influence des paramètres de croissance (conditions de croissance, design du masque, polarité du substrat) afin de comprendre les mécanismes mis en jeu et de maîtriser l'effet de chacun d'eux sur la morphologie du matériau. La croissance de pseudo-substrats de GaN hexagonal [000-1] sur du Si (100) a été démontrée grâce à l'utilisation d'une couche texturée d'AlN de polarité N. Des caractérisations optiques et structurales ont démontré une relaxation de la contrainte ainsi qu'une bonne qualité cristalline du matériau à la surface de ces structures. La croissance sur celles-ci de multi-puits quantiques (MQWs) InGaN/GaN a ensuite été étudiée pour la réalisation de micro-LEDs. Cependant, des difficultés ont été rencontrées du fait de la présence d'inversions de polarité dans les pseudo-substrats. Ces essais ont également mis en évidence la nécessité d'une étude à part entière de la croissance de MQWs de polarité NLight-emitting diodes (LEDs) used in solid lighting systems are made from GaN and its alloys. Although commercial LEDs are mainly developed on sapphire substrate, manufacturers and research laboratories are also interested in silicon substrate, which is cheaper and available in larger diameters. However, its usage raises two issues: the presence of a high dislocation density in epitaxial layers and their tensile stress leading to the formation of cracks. In order to avoid them, solutions exist but require long and complex growth processes resulting in an increase in production costs.The alternative proposed in this thesis is focused on the selective area growth of GaN pseudo-substrates on silicon by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Indeed, selective area growth should make it possible to obtain a good crystalline material displaying a limited stress (avoiding coalescence) while reducing epitaxy duration. Our work focused on the analysis of the influence of growth parameters (growth conditions, mask design, substrate polarity) in order to understand the involved mechanisms and to control the effect of each of them on the material morphology. The growth of hexagonal [000-1] GaN pseudo-substrates on Si (100) was demonstrated by using a textured N-polar AlN layer. Optical and structural characterisations displayed a stress relaxation as well as a good crystalline quality of these structures’ surface material. The growth on top of those of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) was then studied for micro-LEDs realisation. However, difficulties have been encountered due to the presence of polarity inversions in pseudo-substrates. These tests also demonstrated the necessity of a complete study of N-polar MQWs growth

Full textAbstract:
The significance of the media and communications revolution occasioned by printmaking was profound. Less a part of the standard narrative of printmaking’s significance is recognition of the frequency with which the widespread dissemination of printed works also occurred beyond the borders of Europe and consideration of the impact of this broader movement of printed objects. Within a decade of the invention of the printing press, European prints began to move globally. Over the course of the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, numerous prints produced in Europe traveled to areas as varied as Turkey, India, Persia, Ethiopia, China, Japan and the Americas, where they were taken by missionaries, artists, travelers, merchants and diplomats. This collection of essays explores the transmission of knowledge, both written and visual, between Europe and the rest of the world by means of prints in the early modern period.

Full textAbstract:
This ground-breaking book brings theoretical perspectives from twenty-first century media, film, and cultural studies to medieval hagiography. Medieval Saints and Modern Screens stakes the claim for a provocative new methodological intervention: consideration of hagiography as media. More precisely, hagiography is most productively understood as cinematic media. Medieval mystical episodes are made intelligible to modern audiences through reference to the filmic - the language, form, and lived experience of cinema. Similarly, reference to the realm of the mystical affords a means to express the disconcerting physical and emotional effects of watching cinema. Moreover, cinematic spectatorship affords, at times, a (more or less) secular experience of visionary transcendence: an 'agape-ic encounter'. The medieval saint's visions of God are but one pole of a spectrum of visual experience which extends into our present multi-media moment. We too conjure godly visions: on our smartphones, on the silver screen, and on our TVs and laptops. This book places contemporary pop-culture media - such as blockbuster movie The Dark Knight, Kim Kardashian West's social media feeds, and the outputs of online role-players in Second Life - in dialogue with a corpus of thirteenth-century Latin biographies, 'Holy Women of Liège'. In these texts, holy women see God, and see God often. Their experiences fundamentally orient their life, and offer the women new routes to knowledge, agency, and belonging. For the holy visionaries of Liège, as with us modern 'seers', visions are physically intimate, ideologically overloaded spaces. Through theoretically informed close readings, Medieval Saints and Modern Screens reveals the interconnection of decidedly 'old' media - medieval textualities - and artefacts of our 'new media' ecology, which all serve as spaces in which altogether human concerns are brought before the contemporary culture's eyes.

AbstractThis article looks at the difference between global digital nomadism as a disruptive form of mobile sociality within the space of flows and Chinese lifestyle migration as a sedentarist form of lifestyle mobility. Mobile sociality is understood as the ability to remain connected with home despite being on the move while lifestyle mobility is understood as the need to make and unmake homes while on the move. The use of mobilities paradigm as a theoretical lens demonstrates the fundamental difference between the two lies in their orientation towards territority as a homing desire. The article concludes that Chinese lifestyle mobility has yet to achieve the mobile sociality of global digital nomads, despite both being equally imbricated within the state of constant connectivity.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, we examine the remittance-sending behaviour of Ghanaian, Congolese and Senegalese migrants along their migration trajectories to Europe. We aim to understand the extent to which and why sending remittances might differ when the migrants consider themselves to be either en route or settled. We hypothesise that migrants on the move experience legal and economic precariousness and have a lesser capacity and, hence, probability to remit. Moreover, we argue that migrants with close family members and assets in the origin country have higher incentives to remit but are less likely to do so if they are on the move. Overall, we do not find support for the argument that being on the move decreases the probability of sending remittances. Surprisingly, we illustrate that migrants on the move are more likely to be employed and to send remittances compared to settled migrants. We argue that the former may consider their situation to be insecure – despite being employed – and want to keep in closer contact with their country of origin. The chapter highlights the importance of including a(n) (im)mobility perspective when studying remittance-sending and the need for a fuller understanding of how frictions and experiences along more complex migration trajectories affect remittance-sending behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines the multi-sited transnational strategies of Dutch-Sudanese migrants who move from the Netherlands to the UK (and/or elsewhere) to fulfil their aspirations at different migration and life-course stages. The ongoing political unrest and economic hardships in Sudan, together with the current restrictive European migration regimes, have led most Sudanese to move to Europe as asylum-seekers. Throughout the years, after obtaining refugee status and becoming European citizens, many settle and remain in the host countries of which they are citizens, while others move onwards to other EU countries (or elsewhere) as European labour migrants. As the migrants’ legal statuses change throughout these stages, so do their aspirations and their capabilities to achieve them. Drawing on 14 months of ethnographic multi-sited fieldwork with Sudanese migrants and their families across the Netherlands, the UK and Sudan, this chapter explores the migrants’ aspirations and capabilities to migrate, which take place within given sets of perceived geographical opportunity structures. By looking at how these migrants navigate institutional limitations with family obligations, individual aspirations and capabilities, the chapter contributes to the conceptualisation of onward migration from the lens of an aspirations–capabilities framework. In so doing, it shows the importance of the family as the main unit of analysis in migration studies and the need to look at mobility as a multi-sited longitudinal family trajectory to fulfil changing aspirations where not all family members benefit equally.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout this book, it has been clear that the Hollywood teen movie has close links with the youth culture of its time. Yet as this chapter will demonstrate, this equation between contemporary youth culture and the Hollywood films that claim to represent it is not nearly as clear-cut as one might expect. For Timothy Shary, the genre is trapped in a peculiar double bind that determines its relationship with the past: while film-makers aggressively target a youth audience, young people themselves lack the experience or means to produce amass-market feature film, as a result of which, these representations of youth are ‘filtered through an adult lens’. An oblique refraction of the youth culture of the past – often that of the director themselves – can therefore be regarded as a central feature of the genre as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
While sport is a popular theme for film directors, it is all too rarely studied by social science researchers. This is all the more true when it is considered as just one of the many narrative or decorative elements of the film and is not at the heart of the story. Such is the case for academic studies related to Italian director Paolo Sorrentino’s work, in which the easily identifiable theme of sport is surprisingly nowhere to be found. Indeed, while reference to the body periodically occurs, most of the work conducted on his feature films focuses on the recurrent themes of politics and the quest for power, loneliness and isolation, the flâneur in post-industrial society, sexism, irony, and of course the mafia. The sporting occurrences (including footballer Antonio Pisapia in L’Uomo in più, Cheyenne’s ping-pong match in This Must Be the Place, as well as Fred Ballinger and Mick Boyle’s alpine treks in Youth, etc.) cannot be missed. Why then does Sorrentino choose to refer to sport: for societal, narrative or nostalgic reasons? These questions and more invite us to identify the “constants” and “variables” of this theme, so as to highlight a strong element of his style.

A method to identify potential solutions of imaging problems incorporating zoom lenses having two generic moving elements and a spatially-fixed image surface was presented in a companion paper entitled “Insight into First-Order Zoom Lens Design.” While studying this method, it was observed that for certain optical configurations one of the moving elements was required to move only slightly over the entire zoom range. As a consequence, we investigated the possibility of having one of the moving elements remain essentially stationary over a least some reasonable zoom range.

This paper aims to perform the sentiment analysis of Twitter posts related to the movies nominated for Best Picture of the 2017 Oscars in order to find out if there is a correlation between the posts and the Oscar winners. A tweets database was built, pre-processed, and later evaluated by three distinct approaches: Naive Bayes, Distant Supervision Learning, and Polarity Function. It was possible to predict which movie would be considered the winner and which would be among the less prestigious ones. It was noted that Twitter users prefer to post positive comments about movies rather than saying bad things about the ones they did not like. Furthermore, it was verified that award shows such as the Oscars cause a growth in the number of posts on Twitter.

Full textAbstract:
International financial institutions (IFIs) and multilateral development banks have been playing a vital role in the response, recovery and ‘build back anew’ agenda from the COVID-19 pandemic. This is especially true of the World Bank Group (WBG), given its high volumes of committed investments across sectors, especially in low-income and vulnerable countries. This report presents, through case studies, how care-responsive the World Bank’s COVID-19-related investments have been in four member countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal and the Philippines. It does so by using the Care Principles and Care-Responsive Barometer for IFIs to assess the nature of the WBG’s post-COVID recovery investments in these select countries, and by building evidence through a gender- and care-responsive budget review. The foundation for care inclusion has already been laid in WBG policy. The report uses this as an entry point to urge it to bring women’s unpaid, underpaid and paid work to the centre of the IFI agenda in order to move towards rebuilding a more gender-just and equal future.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of the dewatering process after hydrotesting and to examine the internal corrosion threat posed by residual water trapped in crevices and water pushed into a dead leg. A "time to dry" calculation for both cases was conducted based on pipeline operating conditions. Analysis of the evaporation of water trapped in crevices indicated that maintaining low pressures and high temperatures are the most effective measures for drying the trapped water. At the lowest pressure of 14.7 psi and at 100 �F, trapped water can be dried in days. At increased pressure or decreased temperature, a pipeline may become saturated with water vapor, completely stopping evaporation. Other factors such as crevice geometry, water content, and water type had insignificant effects on water drying from a crevice. The geometry considered for water drying in a dead leg included the entire dead leg, a section of the main line, and a section of the lateral line in a horizontal orientation. Analysis indicated that gas flow in the main pipe forced the accumulated liquid water from the dead leg to move upstream in the main and subsequently evacuate through the lateral and pipe exit. The process of purging 99% of the liquid water from the dead leg was rapid, usually within minutes into operation of the pipeline. However, the small droplets, streaks and globules of water that are left behind may take a longer time to evaporate or be purged. A sloped dead leg configuration may enable a standing pool of water to accumulate in the dead leg, which would take substantially longer to evaporate than small water droplets. Further study that ac-counts for different dead leg orientations is recommended to provide a more complete understanding of the internal corrosion risk in dead legs.

Full textAbstract:
Whilst younger audiences move away from traditional forms of media consumption, public broadcasters – including those in minority languages – have long been facing declining viewing figures in terms of linear television. At the same time, social media consumption habits are diverging along a generational gap – younger audiences favour TikTok and Instagram over Facebook or Twitter. This blogpost sheds light on one element of this, analysing the attempts of institutional actors – in this case minority language broadcasters – to reach different audience segments by creating content directly through TikTok. Concentrated focus is placed on the Welsh language broadcaster S4C, the Galician language broadcaster TVG and the Catalan language broadcaster TV3, with the conclusions pointing towards greater levels of success for their sub-brands which adopt a less-formal, non-institutionalised approach. The positive examples suggest minority language media are finding ways to adapt to contemporary challenges and that their role for younger generations was perhaps neglected too soon by some critics.

Full textAbstract:
Four countries in the Western Balkan region (Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, and Montenegro) are in the top ten countries with the most foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) per capita. The political will to repatriate FTFs remains strong, at least in the Western Balkans, despite delays in 2020 due to COVID-19. In other parts of the world, especially high-income countries, political will to repatriate is considerably lower. COVID-19 has further constrained nations in their efforts to repatriate law-abiding citizens, which is less controversial than FTF families. Based on discussions with government officials and security officers in the Western Balkans as well as international experts and donors, this policy note provides operational recommendations to move forward with repatriation, rehabilitation, and reintegration of returnees building on lessons from repatriations in Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. It urges governments globally to double down on repatriation efforts and to call on experience from governments in the Balkans to bring back their FTFs now. The recommendations in this policy note are relevant to any country where political will to repatriate FTFs can be generated.

Full textAbstract:
This rapid review focuses on the impact COVID-19 pandemic om poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking. It provides an overview of the recent research and summarises the key themes. This review found that poaching for the purpose of international trafficking of illegal wildlife products, generally decreased. These declines are largely attributed to the disruption of transportation routes used by wildlife traffickers to move illicit goods within Southern Africa and overseas by air, and in some locations to the effects of local lockdown measures. Poaching for subsistence consumption (bushmeat) generally increased across Southern Africa and worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic, incentivised largely by economic hardship and opportunities presented by a reduction in the capacity for anti-poaching enforcement and reduced numbers of tourists, whose presence tends to deter poachers. In the long term, poaching and trafficking are likely to return to pre-pandemic levels. Commercial poachers and traffickers are likely to adjust their transportation routes and adapt their business models to take advantage of opportunities. More positively, some authors have suggested the possibility that the COVID-19 pandemic could influence public attitudes against wildlife trafficking and in support of conservation. Trends in poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking during the COVID-19 pandemic vary significantly across and within countries. The impacts resulting from the measures put in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19 have varied significantly depending on local contexts. Up-to-date data on recent trends during the pandemic are scarce. Good quality data are available on poaching and trafficking of high-value commodities such as elephant ivory and rhino horn, while data on poaching for subsistence are less rigorous and often anecdotal. Much of the evidence available for both types of poaching is not systematic and comes from news media reports, and suffers from inherent difficulties of collecting data on illegal activities. Data collection during the pandemic has also been hampered by the challenges of working safely during the pandemic, funding for monitoring and research has been reduced in most areas, and some reporting processes have not yet analysed data collected during 2021.

Full textAbstract:
This is a publication about citizen-led urbanism processes in Latin America. It follows the recent life of a movement originating from, and driven by and for citizens, who out of a compelling love for their cities, have brought together actors from all fields to co-create new, more inclusive and equitable public space models. By using tools such as innovation, creativity and co-responsible solidarity, citizen-led urbanism has been able to complement the traditional approaches to urban planning and city governance. This publication also invites us to move from the theory and concepts that provide the rationale for citizen-led urbanism to the actual practical experiences which are helping to shape it and consolidate it as a regional movement. It thus takes us on a journey through successful projects developed in different places and contexts of Latin America and looks at the experience of the first urban innovation labs, as a means to consider the paths that may lead to new horizons of an inclusive future, in view of the challenges, both known and yet to be known, of the first half of the 21st century. In less than one decade, with their impressive diversity and vigorous urban activity, members of the citizen-led urbanism movement have brought about changes in the streets, neighborhoods and cities where they live: changes in the way of thinking of authorities and fellow citizens; changes in public policies, which have an impact not only on the urban landscape, but also on how we relate to each other through our relationship with what we call “the urban” and with ecosystems, with our individual needs and with the urgency of organizing ourselves collectively to identify solutions for the common good. This is why this book became a superbook, i.e., an extensive compilation about a fabulous collective adventure, undertaken by thousands of people whose common denominator is creativity and their will to think and do things differently. We hope it may serve as an inspiration to its readers so that they, too, may take a leading role in this story.

Full textAbstract:
Extending the previous two years of research results (Mizarch, et al, 2012, Tao, 2011, 2012), the third year’s efforts in both Maryland and Israel were directed towards the engineering of the system. The activities included the robust chick handling and its conveyor system development, optical system improvement, online dynamic motion imaging of chicks, multi-image sequence optimal feather extraction and detection, and pattern recognition. Mechanical System Engineering The third model of the mechanical chick handling system with high-speed imaging system was built as shown in Fig. 1. This system has the improved chick holding cups and motion mechanisms that enable chicks to open wings through the view section. The mechanical system has achieved the speed of 4 chicks per second which exceeds the design specs of 3 chicks per second. In the center of the conveyor, a high-speed camera with UV sensitive optical system, shown in Fig.2, was installed that captures chick images at multiple frames (45 images and system selectable) when the chick passing through the view area. Through intensive discussions and efforts, the PIs of Maryland and ARO have created the protocol of joint hardware and software that uses sequential images of chick in its fall motion to capture opening wings and extract the optimal opening positions. This approached enables the reliable feather feature extraction in dynamic motion and pattern recognition. Improving of Chick Wing Deployment The mechanical system for chick conveying and especially the section that cause chicks to deploy their wings wide open under the fast video camera and the UV light was investigated along the third study year. As a natural behavior, chicks tend to deploy their wings as a mean of balancing their body when a sudden change in the vertical movement was applied. In the latest two years, this was achieved by causing the chicks to move in a free fall, in the earth gravity (g) along short vertical distance. The chicks have always tended to deploy their wing but not always in wide horizontal open situation. Such position is requested in order to get successful image under the video camera. Besides, the cells with checks bumped suddenly at the end of the free falling path. That caused the chicks legs to collapse inside the cells and the image of wing become bluer. For improving the movement and preventing the chick legs from collapsing, a slowing down mechanism was design and tested. This was done by installing of plastic block, that was printed in a predesign variable slope (Fig. 3) at the end of the path of falling cells (Fig.4). The cells are moving down in variable velocity according the block slope and achieve zero velocity at the end of the path. The slop was design in a way that the deacceleration become 0.8g instead the free fall gravity (g) without presence of the block. The tests showed better deployment and wider chick's wing opening as well as better balance along the movement. Design of additional sizes of block slops is under investigation. Slops that create accelerations of 0.7g, 0.9g, and variable accelerations are designed for improving movement path and images.

Full textAbstract:
Poverty reduction is an increasingly important consideration in the deliberations over multilateral trade liberalization. However, the analytical procedures used to assess the impacts of multilateral trade liberalization on poverty are rudimentary, at best. Most poverty studies have focused on a single country using detailed household survey data. When it comes to multi-country, global trade liberalization analyses, researchers are often forced to resort to a discussion of average, or per capita effects, suggesting that if per capita real income rises, then poverty will fall. As we show in this paper, such an inference can be misleading. Our paper combines results from a new international, cross-section consumption analysis, with earnings data from household surveys, to analyze the implications of multilateral trade liberalization for poverty in Indonesia. This method could readily be extended to analysis of poverty impacts in the other thirteen countries in our sample. By emphasizing the earnings-side of the poverty story, we complement earlier studies of poverty that have tended to emphasize consumption determinants, often to the exclusion of earnings impacts. Specifically, we stratify households according to their primary source of income, identifying those that are specialized (95% or more of their income) in agriculture enterprises, non-agriculture enterprises, wage/salary labor, and transfers. Together, these account for more than half of the population. All other households are considered to be diversified, and therefore less vulnerable to trade shocks. We find that, following global trade liberalization, the national headcount measure of poverty in Indonesia is reduced by a small amount in the short run, and significantly more in the long run. We also decompose the poverty changes in Indonesia associated with different countries’ trade policies. We find that liberalization in other countries’ policies leads to a reduction in national poverty in Indonesia, while liberalization of Indonesia’s own trade policies leads to an increase in the poverty headcount. However, the aggregate reduction in Indonesia’s national poverty headcount masks a more complex set of impacts among different groups. In the short run, the poverty headcount actually rises slightly for self-employed, agricultural households, as agricultural profits fail to keep up with increases in consumer prices. In the long run, the poverty headcount falls for all earnings strata in Indonesia, as the increased demand for unskilled workers lifts incomes for the formerly self-employed, some of whom move into the wage labor market.
