Full textAbstract:
The theol)' that informs this study is Systemic Functional linguistic theory, The major focus of this study is on the description of the register of play-by-play talk. The data for this study was collected by recording onto cassette tapes several Australian Rugby League commentaries from different radio stations. The data primarily used in this study are two Australian Rugby League radio commentaries: one from the commercial radio station, 2GB, and the other from the Australian national radio station, ABC. Both commentaries took place on Sunday afternoon on the 14th July, 1996, and they focus on the same event: the Rugby League professional match between the North Sydney Bears and the Sydney City Roosters. The research focuses on the language which is used to relay the game, 'play-by-play talk'. Although it is generdlly agreed that there is such a thing as 'play-by-play talk', there is scant research into the specific characteristics of this talk, or into the contextual features which motivate it. Thus, in order to study this specific variety of language, the study begins by making a broad-based description of the textual and material environment of play-by-play talk. It is argued that the textual environment consists of two language activities: the 'Sunday Afternoon Sports Broadcast' and the 'commentary'. The description focuses on the linguistic frames that distinguish these two language activities from those which precede and follow them. The study then constructs an operational definition of play-by-play talk and applies some linguistic criteria to the language of the commentary in order to extract language which satisfies this definition. To this end, the linguistic criterion which proves to be most useful is the successive-temporal conjunction and now. Play-by-play talk is found to be a monologic language variety which enters the talk of the commentary at different points in time and for varying time periods. Once play-by-play talk is extracted from the talk of the commentary, it is analysed from three different grammatical perspectives: the interpersonal, the experiential and the textual. The results of the analyses are quantified and displayed in a series of tables and diagrams, and the patterns of choices which emerge from the analyses are discussed in terms of a description of the register properties of play-by-play talk and in terms of the kind of contextual information construed. Chapters Five, Six and Seven end with a summary profile of the grammatical choices along with a summary of the kind of contextual information these choices construe. Some of the findings from this study are that the subject matter of play-by-play talk centres on a very limited set of activities and participants; that individuals are prioritised; that the activities of the game of Rugby League are construed as active, aggressive, and often violent in nature; that there are few grammatica1ised attitudes; and that the text is structured in a way that mirrors the actions which it is encoding. The approach and findings of this research highlight some ways in which a register may be located, analysed and profiled.

Full textAbstract:
I denna uppsats tittar jag närmare på webb-tv och hur användningen av detta medium har utvecklats under de senaste åren. Jag har valt att studera SVT Play eftersom de är störst och att SVT var först av de stora tv-kanalerna i Sverige med en play-tjänst. Med hjälp av Jay David Bolters och Richard Grusins teser kring remediering, Marshall McLuhans filosofiska grunder kring medier, kopplar jag ihop dagens användning av webben som ett tv-medium tillsammans med Pelle Snickars teorier som ger en nutida svensk kontext. Huvuddelen av uppsatsen består av en analys av webb-tv-statistik från 2011 fram till och med första kvartalet 2016. Majoriteten av statistiken kommer från MMS som ansvarar för tv- och webb-tv-mätningar i Sverige. Uppsatsens statistikgenomgång görs utifrån ett helårsperspektiv, månadsperspektiv och ett programspecifikt perspektiv. Programmet jag valt är På spåret och hur webb-tv- publiken till detta program förändrats sedan 2011. Här gör jag även en jämförelse med linjär-tv-tittandet för att se om respektive medium påverkar det andra. På spåret har under de senaste fem säsongerna haft en stabil tv-publik via linjär-tv, med ett tittarsnitt på omkring 2,5 miljoner per avsnitt. Webb-tv-tittandet har däremot ökat kraftigt från och med 2013, vilket samtidigt visar att det är ett medium som kommer att fortsätta växa under de närmsta åren.

Full textAbstract:
Dans le domaine de la chaîne logistique, nous constatons des besoins croissants d'information et d'interactions entre produits, processus et clients, et ceci durant le cycle de vie du produit. Cela entraîne le besoin, au niveau du produit, de nouvelles capacités de communication, de gestion de l'information, de perception et d'action avec son environnement physique. Ces besoins ont engendré le concept de produit ou objet communicant. Un produit avec ces nouvelles capacités pourra interagir avec d'autres entités physiques ou informationnelles dans son environnement et apporter des transformations significatives sur la gestion de la chaîne logistique. Le travail présenté dans cette thèse vise à analyser et contribuer à appliquer la notion d'objet communicant aux produits physiques dans le domaine de la chaîne logistique. L'approche proposée considère un produit comme un demandeur ou un fournisseur de services. La méthodologie proposée de gestion des produits communicants s'appuie sur la caractérisation d'une architecture de services ambiants devant permettre de gérer les services d'un produit d'une façon automatique et ubiquiste. Nous avons choisi l'architecture UPnP pour gérer les services des objets communicants. La communication directe avec le produit est supportée par les méthodes d'identification automatique RFID. Nous nous sommes appuyés sur le formalisme standard de modélisation UML afin de modéliser les interactions et les services associés à un produit physique. Comme résultat, nous avons élaboreé des démonstrateurs de laboratoire validant la faisabilité de notre proposition méthodologique de gestion de la chaîne logistique par les objets communicants.

El principal objetivo de este trabajo de título consiste en la elaboración de un plan estratégico para la empresa de transporte vía terrestre Radio Taxis VIP Ltda. Esta empresa corresponde a una PYME familiar con más de 23 años en el rubro. La empresa cuenta con una sucursal ubicada en la comuna de Ñuñoa y principalmente abastece con el transporte de pasajeros a Farmacias Ahumada, Municipalidad de Vitacura, y Viña Concha y Toro. Parte importante de este trabajo se enmarca dentro de los procesos de profesionalización y re-estructuración estratégica de la empresa. Lo anterior, debido a que al día de hoy se encuentra realizando servicios con márgenes muy bajos y ocupaciones de vehículos muy altas que no le permiten expandirse a nuevos clientes. La metodología empleada en la memoria considera un análisis del entorno, con el fin de determinar las principales tendencias, dinámicas y desafíos que presenta la industria. Luego se procede a realizar un análisis interno de la empresa, utilizando como marco teórico la utilización del modelo de la cadena de valor, el desarrollo de un análisis FODA, seguido del desarrollo del modelo CANVAS, competencias centrales, un análisis profundo a los modelos de negocios actuales de la empresa y finalmente una serie de entrevistas a los clientes. A partir del diagnóstico anterior y las oportunidades particulares presentadas por la empresa, es que se definen los objetivos estratégicos a seguir, la estrategia de crecimiento recomendada, los indicadores y metas a utilizar y finalmente el plan de acción necesario. Además de lo anterior se re-define la visión, misión y el posicionamiento de la empresa. Los pilares propuestos sobre los que se basa el crecimiento de la empresa son el potenciamiento del modelo de negocios de la Viña Concha y Toro, buscando aumentar en los próximos 5 años un 12% de value share dentro de la facturación de la empresa. Además de lo anterior, se busca mejorar la calidad del personal humano mediante una mejora de procesos y capacitación del personal clave en términos de tecnología. Como conclusión, se puede destacar que este trabajo de memoria hace importantes aportes en términos de levantamiento de procesos, cuestionamientos de estrategias, mejora de competitividad, coordinación entre las áreas, mejora de políticas internas, entre otros. Lo anterior son apuestas fundamentales que permitirán a la empresa crear una propuesta basada en la diferenciación, lo que se torna particularmente relevante en una industria comoditizada, a su vez lo anterior otorgar mayor valor agregado a sus clientes y lograr tener una cartera de clientes más diversificada.

Boyce, Brynhildur. "Impulse and impediment : communication in the radio plays of Samuel Beckett." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2012. http://eprints.gold.ac.uk/7945/.
Full textAbstract:
This PhD thesis deals with the four completed plays and two sketches written by Samuel Beckett for radio, and is rooted in an analysis of their analogical engagement with the structural and technological features of the medium, such as the relation between transmitter and receiver, interference and the act of tuning in. Through close readings of the plays, this thesis brings to the fore such radiophonic features and argues that they shape the plays’ exploration of related issues of communication. As a faulty medium of communication, analogue radio presented Beckett with a framework within which to address the problems of linguistic communication. To be precise, the dichotomy between the structural compulsion of radio to transmit and the hazardous uncertainty of that transmission is shown, in this thesis, to frame the plays’ articulation of the impulses and impediments of communication. Successful communication is seen to be underpinned by a shared understanding of linguistic usage, which involves a continual process of adjustment, compensation and negotiation, and a pragmatic acceptance of the approximate understanding achieved. While the inherent disjunction of communicants is indicated in the plays, the emphasis is firmly on the sustained attempts of these potential dialogic partners to bridge the gap between them. In this way, the thesis challenges long-standing critical assumptions concerning Beckett’s understanding of communication. The issues identified in the plays are, finally, discussed in the light of a certain philosophical movement concerned with the workings of ordinary language, the fundamental function of which is communication. Represented, in this thesis, by the views of Mauthner, Wittgenstein, Austin and Davidson – and epitomised by Wittgenstein’s assertion that ‘the meaning of a word is its use in the language’ – this understanding of the site-specific, modulated and evolving activity of linguistic communication resonates productively with Beckett’s work for radio.

Memoria para optar al título de PeriodistaLa Radio Universidad de Chile conforma, junto a la Usach, el selecto grupo de emisoras universitarias que transmiten en la ciudad de Santiago. Además, esta emisora tiene el privilegio, al no tener fines de lucro, de estructurar una programación con un definido perfil cultural. En el caso de los medios de comunicación un problema concreto surge de la carencia de programas culturales y, principalmente, de la poca claridad de contenidos que en ellos se entrega. La poca programación cultural que se escucha en las radios obedece, a juicio de diversas organizaciones no gubernamentales y actores sociales y políticos, a una subestimación de la capacidad de reflexión y análisis de los auditores. Esto se puede confirmar con el sólo ejercicio de encender la radio y hacer un recorrido por el dial. Luego de esta experiencia se podrá percibir que, en muchas emisoras, hay poca claridad en los contenidos que se le quiere entregar al auditor, tema que en estos días mantiene preocupada a la Asociación de Radiodifusores de Chile. El presente trabajo no pretende realizar un análisis del contenido Programático de las radios en la Región Metropolitana, sino que, de manera sencilla y breve, mostrar la importancia de la Radio de la Universidad de Chile, como medio de comunicación de nuestra querida universidad, y como un excelente instrumento para elevar el nivel de programación cultural, de debate, de análisis, y de reflexión entre los auditores y ciudadanos del Gran Santiago.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis was to develop two dramatic pieces (a radio drama and a stage play) from the Smalls Lighthouse incident of 1780. The resulting dramas are intended to be separate, but complementary, so that a consecutive immersion gives an all-encompassing sense of the characters, narrative and historical context. The purpose of these dramatic pieces - Hearts of Oak and Timbre - is more than a mere attempt to reanimate history for a twenty-first century audience. My main objective was to examine the distinct opportunities offered by radio drama and the stage, and to explore the essence of each medium (its specific, unique elements), so that the medium itself constitutes an integral part of each play. Writing for each medium, simultaneously became the act of challenging them and raised important questions. How could they be manipulated as vehicles for modem storytelling? What possibilities lay (as yet unlocked) within them? What exactly is the essence of these two forms of medium, and can that essence be written into their scripts?

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 1991.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is based on the comparison of six Xhosa radio dramas spanning the period 1987 and 1988. The main objective is to investigate the strengths and weaknesses which manifest themselves in the dramas. The dramas are compared with respect to the six structural elements of drama viz., theme, plot, characterization, time and space, and the techniques of production.Themes are studied to establish whether there have been any developments as far as the choice of themes is concerned in Xhosa radio dramas or whether there has been stagnation. Also given is a brief literary history of the themes broadcast in the Xhosa radio. The analysis of the plot structure is also done to identify the areas where they met the requirements successfully as well as where they failed to. The dramas are analysed according to the traditional approach Le. the exposition, complication, climax and the denouement.With regard to characterization, the characters are classified according to the function they perform viz., the protagonist, antagonist, tritagonist and confidante. They are also analysed according to their individual nature Le. whether they are static or dynamic, mono- or multidimensional etc. Techniques that the playwrights have used in the portrayal of their characters are also examined.The aspects of time and space are also discussed, to investigate the artistic skills of the different dramatists in handling the time and space relations. Time is viewed with respect to the following: order, duration, frequency, tempo and the presentation of the time structures. Space is discussed with respect to the following: type, function, and the techniques of localisation.A critical comparison of the production techniques used by these different playwrights is explored, the focus being on the microphone, sound effects and music. The examination conducted in the study basically revealed that there is little development in Xhosa radio dramas.The themes that are broadcast are mainly for entertainment and consequently have little intellectual depth. There is also a lack of innovation which is shown by the repetition of the same themes.The playwrights also lack skill as far as plot construction is concerned. The plays are devoid of conflict The absence of conflict in the dramas has an effect on characterization. It has given rise to weak antagonists in the dramas. Lack of focus regarding the main character is one of the faults that is evident in the dramas. Because of the fact that all characters are on the level of importance, it becomes difficult to pin-point who the focal character is. Finally, the Xhosa radio dramas discussed in this thesis revealed that there is latent potential in the Xhosa dramatists and the producers. It is therefore necessary that they should be motivated towards research on the subject and consultation with people who are knowledgeable in this sub-genre. Such actions could be of assistance towards the improvement of skills and techniques needed in the writing of the radio drama
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie is gebaseer op die vergelyking van ses Xhosa radio dramas wat strek oor die tydperk 1987-1988. Die hoofdoelstelling is om die sterkpunte en swakpunte te ondersoek soos dit na vore kom in die dramas. Die dramas sal vergelyk word met betrekking tot die ses strukturele elemente van die drama, naamlik, tema, intrige, karakterisering, tyd en ruimte, en die tegnieke van produksie. Die temas van die dramas is ondersoek om vas te stel of enige ontwikkelings wat betref die keuse van temas plaasgevind het, en of daar stagnasie was in hierdie verb and. Voorts sal 'n kort ootsig gegee word van die liter ere temas in radio Xhosa dramas. Die analise van die intrige van die dramas word gedoen om vas te stel waar daar suksesvol of onsuksesvol voldoen is aan vereistes. Die dramas word ontleed volgens die tradisionele benadering van uiteensetting, verwikkeling, klimaks en die afwikkeling. Betreffende karakterisering, word karakters geklassifiseer volgens die funksie wat hulle vervul, naamlik die protagonis, die antagonis, die tritagonis, en die vertroueling. Karakters kan ook ontleed word volgens hulle individuele karakter, dit is, in welke mate hulle staties of dinamies is, enkel- of multi-dimension eel, ens. Tegnieke wat die skrywers gebruik het in die uitbeelding van hulle karakters word ook ondersoek Die aspekte van tyd en ruimte word bespreek ten einde die artistieke vaardighede van die verskillende skrywers te ondersoek in die hantering van tyd en ruimte verbande. Tyd word ondersoek ten opsigte van volgorde, duur, frekwensie, tempo en die aanbieding van die tyd strukture. Ruimte word bespreek met betrekking tot die aspekte van tipe, funksie en die tegnieke van lokalisering. 'n Kritiese vergelyking word gedoen van die produksietegnieke wat aangewend is deur die verskillende skrywers, met die fokus op mikrofoon klankeffekte en musiek Die ondersoek in hierdie studie toon aan dat daar geringe ontwikkeling is in die Xhosa radio dramas. Die temas van die dramas wat uitgesaai word is hoofsaaklik van 'n vermaaklikheids aard met geen intellektuele diepte nie. Daar is ook 'n tekort aan vernuwing, soos aangedui deur die herhaling van dieselfde temas. Die skrywes toon ook 'n tekort aan vaardigheid wat betref die konstruksie van die struktuur van. intrige. Die dramas toon weinig konflik Die afwesigheid van konflik het ook 'n invloed op die krakterisering, wat aanleiding gee tot swak antagoniste in die dramas.'n Gebrekkige fokus betreffende die hootkarater is een van die foute wat opvallend is in die dramas. Omdat byna al die karakters op dieselfde vlak van belangrikheid is, is dit moeilik om te bepaal watter karakter die hootkarater is. Laastens, die Xhosa radio dramas wat ontleed is in hierdie studie toon dat daar latente potensiaal is in die Xhosa skrywers en regiseurs. Dit is nodig dat hulle aangemoedig word om navorsing te doen oor die onderwerp. Konsultasie met kundiges op hierdie sub-genre kan 'n hulp wees in die verbetering van vaardighede en tegnieke wat nodig is vir die skryf van radio dramas.

Full textAbstract:
The Visual Staging of Audio Plays explores the directing practice of radio dramas that are staged for viewing purposes rather than their typical solo-auditory purposes. The thesis is comprised of three separate parts: a brief history of theatrical sound, an introduction to radio drama theory and practice, and application. The application portion is a detailed first-person account of my personal experience staging It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry for TheatreVCU’s Mainstage winter special event in 2015. It is also in this section where I integrate history, theory, and practice to formulate technique for directing the genre for stage.

Full textAbstract:
Problem gambling is a growing social concern that results in debt, lost jobs, broken families, and at times, suicide. Slot machines are the most popular and most addictive form of gambling, generating nearly 70% of annual profits for the commercial casino industry in North America. Behavioral researchers have identified variables that establish and maintain problem gambling on slot machines, and the data reveal characteristics that influence preference for specific games, and subsequently, time spent engaged with specific machines. A degree of variability has been reported in the outcomes observed across participants and studies; such variability may be influenced by generic features of the games used by researchers utilizing a “one machine suits all” approach to slot research, i.e., within most studies a single machine is used for all participants rather than chosen according to participant preference for the machine or features therein. The following set of studies aimed to investigate variables related to slot machine selection, gambler preference for structural characteristics, and the reinforcing effectiveness of the machine on gambling behavior. The first of three experiments evaluated participant preference for functional and structural characteristics of popular three-, four- and five-reel electronic Vegas-style slot machines according to (a) a Likert rating scale of attitudes toward the machines, (b) forced ranking of most-preferred machines, and (c) a paired-stimulus preference assessment. Experiment II utilized a series of multiple schedules randomized across participants to examine differences in the rate of play when participants gambled on their most- and least-preferred machines. In Experiment III, the reinforcing effectiveness of the machines was evaluated. Participants engaged in an arbitrary task to gain access to their highest- and least-preferred machines as indicated in Experiment I. Response effort during the work task was evaluated under a progressive ratio schedule of reinforcement to determine the degree to which the individual would work to gain access to the machine. Participant break points were compared across the two conditions. Results of Experiment I yielded significant differences in the degree to which participants rated the machines: three-reel machines and those displaying a win were rated significantly higher in the attitude assessment when compared to four- or five-reel machines, and when compared to those with a loss, respectively. During the forced ranking procedure, participants again selected three-reel machines significantly more frequently in their “top five” favorite machines than four- or five-reel options. Last, when subjected to the paired stimulus preference assessment, participants selected three-reel machines on a significantly higher percentage of trials than five-reel alternatives. Results of Experiment II demonstrated that rate of play on high-preference machines is on average, faster than rate of play on lower-preference machines, and results from Experiment III yielded on average, higher break points in participant responding when offered the opportunity to gamble on high-preference slot machines following a response requirement than when offered a low-preference option; however, the average rate of response on the work task that led to machine access was lower during high-preference conditions than low-preference conditions. Implications of these findings for the gambling literature and for the effective prevention and treatment of disordered slot machine gambling are discussed.

The Ground Mobile Radio (GMR) is a communications system designed to enhance data throughput and communications within the U.S. Armed Forces. The GMR utilizes the Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) and the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) to increase throughput while simultaneously emulating up to four current force radios. This study investigates the appropriate Basis of Issue Plan (BOIP) for fielding the GMR to a Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT). Optimization modeling is used to generate the appropriate BOIP based on an objective function to minimize radio costs, decision variables to assign radio types and quantities to each platform, and constraints in platform requirement and radio capabilities. We create multiple variations of the optimization model to determine the optimal BOIP for different levels of requirements and then make recommendations regarding the best radio mix for an HBCT under each set of requirements. We find that the majority of the four channel simultaneity requirements for the GMR are not required in an HBCT and that only three out of fourteen were used in the optimal solutions. Our analysis also indicates that adding a new simultaneity that had not previously been considered offers a potential cost savings for each HBCT.

Full textAbstract:
L’architecture actuelle des réseaux d’accès radio n’est pas adaptée en terme de capacité à supporter l’accroissement continu du trafic dans les systèmes cellulaires 4G et au-delà. L’objectif de cette thèse est de proposer une architecture réseau générique, GeRoFAN (Generic Radio over Fiber Access Network) pour la fédération des stations de base des systèmes cellulaires de nouvelle génération (WiMAX, 4G LTE). Deux innovations technologiques majeures sont utilisées pour l’implémentation de l’architecture GeRoFAN: la radio-sur-fibre (RoF) et les modulateurs réflexifs éléctro-absorbants. La thèse vise aussi à concevoir pour l’architecture GeRoFAN un plan contrôle et un canal de signalisation adapté permettant le basculement des ressources radio, selon la fluctuation du trafic, entre un grand nombre de cellules réparties à l’échelle métropolitaine. Cependant, il a été bien avéré que la transmission optique de plusieurs canaux radios en utilisant la RoF analogique est assujettie à des multiples facteurs de dégradation physique altérant la qualité du signal de ces canaux et induisant une perte dans leur capacité de Shannon. L’originalité du plan de contrôle de GeRoFAN est de réaliser une affectation optimisée des canaux radios sur les porteuses optiques, grace au multiplexage par sous-porteuse (SCM), afin d’ajuster la capacité de Shannon dans chaque cellule radio à la charge de trafic à laquelle elle est soumise. A cet effet, une connaissance fine des contraintes physiques de la transmission RoF est requise pour le plan de contrôle. Cette connaissance est acquise par l’élaboration d’un modèle analytique des divers bruits de transmission du système GeRoFAN. Contrairement à des propositions comparables, le plan contrôle de GeRoFAN se doit d’être le plus transparent que possible à la technologie des systèmes radio concernés. Sa nature " MAC radio agnostique " vise à permettre, grâce au multiplexage en longueur d’onde et au routage optique WDM, la fédération de plusieurs opérateurs utilisant différentes technologies radio sur la même infrastructure. Plus généralement, avec la mutualisation de l’architecture GeRoFAN, le plan de contrôle permet de virtualiser les ressources radiofréquences et de promouvoir de nouveaux modèles économiques pour les opérateurs Télécoms. Le dernier volet de la thèse se focalise sur la valeur "business" du paradigme GeRoFAN. Les contours du nouveau éco-system d’affaire promu par GeRoFAN sont définis. Les motivations/attentes des différentes parties prenantes dans cet éco-system sont esquissées, les contraintes réglementaires et organisationnelles soulevées sont adressées afin d’assurer un déploiement sans heurts de GeRoFAN. Bien qu’exigeant un nouveau modèle réglementaire, il s’agit de mettre en évidence l’intérêt économique de la solution GeRoFAN, tout particulièrement en comparaison à la RoF digitale, à travers des études technico-économiques chiffrant les couts d’investissement (CapEx), les couts opérationnels (OpEx) et les possibles retours sur investissement. A cet effet, deux modèles économiques sont proposés mettant en évidence la valeur ajoutée de GeRoFAN tout au long de la chaine de valeurCurrent radio access networks architectures are not suited in terms of capacity and backhauling capabilities to fit the continuing traffic increase of 4G cellular systems. The objective of the thesis is to propose an innovative and generic mobile backhauling network architecture, called GeRoFAN (Generic Radio-over-Fiber Access Network), for next generation mobile systems (WiMAX, 4G LTE). Two major technological innovations are used to implement GeRo-FAN: analog Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) and reflective amplified absorption modulators. The aim of this thesis is to design for such an architecture an original Control Plane (CP) and a signaling channel enabling to balance radio resources between a set of neighboring cells at the access/metropolitan scale according to traffic fluctuations. The transmission of several radio frequencies by means of an analog RoF link suffers from several impairments that may degrade the capacity of the radio system. The originality of the GeRoFAN-CP consists in mapping radio frequencies with optical carriers by means of Sub-Carrier Multiplexing (SCM) in order to optimize the Shannon’s capacity within the various cells covered by the system according to the current traffic load. For that purpose, a deep analysis and modeling of the various physical layer impairments impacting the quality of the radio signal is carried out. Unlike comparable approaches, the GeRoFAN-CP is as independent as possible from the radio layer protocols. Thus, the "radio MAC-agnostic" nature of the GeRoFAN-CP enables to federate multiple operators using different radio technologies onto the same backhauling optical infrastructure. Subcarrier and wavelength division multiplexing (SCM/WDM) as well as WDM optical routing capabilities are exploited onto the GeRoFAN transparent architecture. More globally, the GeRoFAN-CP enables a form of "radio frequency virtualization" while promoting new business models for Telecom service providers. The last part of the thesis focuses on the business value of the GeRoFAN paradigm. The expectations of the different stake-holders and main regulatory/organizational entities that could be involved in the deployment of GeRoFAN infrastructures should be addressed in order to achieve a smooth deployment of this new type of mobile backhauling. Economics of the GeRoFAN architecture are investigated in terms of OpEx/CapEx valuation and investment profitability, especially in reference to digitized RoF. Two business models are then proposed to study how GeRoFAN contributes to enriching the cellular backhauling service value chain

Le canal de propagation est un élément important pour la fiabilité des simulations et la conception des systèmes sans fil. Les modèles déterministes offrent un bon niveau de précision au prix d'une complexité croissante de calcul, ce qui les rend prohibitifs pour les simulateurs de réseaux de capteurs sans fil (RdC) car ils impliquent de nombreux nœuds distribués à l'échelle d’une ville. Dans ce contexte, l'objectif de cette thèse est de proposer des méthodes déterministes rapides et précises pour modéliser le comportement des ondes électromagnétiques en garantissant le juste compromis entre la précision et le temps de calcul. L’étude a d’abord été subdivisée en deux modes selon le mécanisme dominant de propagation. Dans une configuration microcellule, l'approche proposée est basée sur un modèle de lancer de rayons reposant sur la technique de la visibilité qui adopte un ensemble de techniques d'accélération pour réduire la complexité sans perte significative de la précision. Dans le même objectif, la propagation verticale a été abordée en incluant les contributions les plus significatives. Enfin, ces modèles ont été intégrés dans un simulateur de RdC pour fournir des résultats réalistes dans le contexte d'une ‘smart city’. L'impact des modèles précis dans les simulateurs est illustré par certains paramètres du réseauModeling the radio channel in an accurate way is a key element of any wireless systems. Deterministic models offer a good degree of precision at the cost of high computational complexity, which is prohibitive for wireless sensor network (WSN) simulators because they involve many sensor nodes in a city-wide scale. Within this context, the objective of this thesis is to propose efficient, fast, and accurate deterministic methods for modeling electromagnetic waves by finding the best time-accuracy trade-offs that guarantee accuracy under tight time constraints. The study was first subdivided into two modes according to the dominant propagation mechanism. In microcell configurations, the proposed approach is a ray-tracing model based on the visibility technique. It adopts a set of acceleration techniques to reduce the complexity with a minimal loss of precision. With the same objective, the vertical propagation was addressed to include the most significant contributions. Finally, these models were integrated into a WSN simulator to provide realistic and accurate results for smart city applications. The importance of using accurate models in WSN simulators is illustrated in terms of some network parameters

Full textAbstract:
L’estimation de canal est une tâche cruciale du récepteur radio dans les systèmes de communication sans fil, en particulier en cas de mobilité où les paramètres du canal varient avec le temps en raison de l’effet Doppler. Dans cette thèse, nous considérons des variations de canal lentes à modérées, typiques des applications véhiculaires, et en particulier les deux types de canaux suivant : canaux Fixe-Mobiles (F-M) et canaux Mobiles-Mobiles (M-M), avec dans ce dernier cas la présence éventuelle de relais mobiles permettant d’amplifier et re-émettre le signal (Amplify and Forward). Nous avons démarré notre étude avec le canal F-M, qui servira de base pour traiter le canal M-M.Pour le cas d’un canal F-M, modélisé par le modèle de Rayleigh à spectre de Jakes, une approche courante pour estimer le canal consiste à utiliser un filtre de Kalman (KF) basé sur un modèle autorégressif d'ordre p (AR(p)). La méthode conventionnelle pour régler les paramètres du modèle AR(p) est basée sur le critère de corrélation (CM). Cependant, l’inconvénient majeur de cette méthode est que des ordres très élevés (p > 15) sont nécessaires pour approcher la borne de Cramer-Rao Bayésienne. Le choix de p ainsi que le réglage des paramètres du modèle sont donc critiques et un compromis doit être trouvé entre la complexité numérique et la performance. Le compromis raisonnable qui a suscité beaucoup d’attention est de prendre p = 2. Le CM n’étant pas performant pour p = 2, d’autres méthodes de réglage ont été proposées dans la littérature, mais celle-ci reposent principalement sur des résultats expérimentaux ou des recherches exhaustives, ce qui limite leur application. Pour régler le modèle, nous proposons d'utiliser un critère de minimisation de la variance asymptotique (MAV) de l’erreur d’estimation en sortie du filtre de Kalman. Une formule générale de réglage a été dérivée en fonction de l’état du canal (fréquence Doppler et rapport signal sur bruit), qui peut s’avérer très utile en pratique. De plus, nous avons également dérivé une formule analytique pour l'erreur quadratique moyenne, ce qui permet de mieux comprendre le comportement du KF. Ensuite, nous avons traité le canal M-M avec présence éventuelle de relais, en suivant la même approche. Les expressions analytiques pour le réglage optimal des paramètres du modèle AR(2) et les performances en erreur quadratique moyenne ont d'abord été établies en fonction des deuxièmes et quatrièmes moments du spectre Doppler du canal global. Les formules analytiques de ces moments ont été dérivées en exploitant la propriété de convolution des fonctions de densité, après décomposition du canal global en cascade de canaux élémentaires à spectre de Jakes. Avec ces approches, les résultats de simulations pour les différents canaux montrent un gain considérable en terme d’erreur quadratique moyenne d’estimation, comparé à la littératureChannel estimation is a crucial task of the radio receiver in wireless communication systems, especially in the case of mobility where the channel parameters vary over time due to the Doppler effect. In this thesis, we consider slow to moderate channel variations, typical of vehicular applications, and in particular the following two types of channels: fixed-mobile (F-M) channels and mobile-mobile (M-M) channels, with in the latter case the possible presence of mobile relays (Amplify and Forward). We started our study with the F-M channel, which will serve as a basis for investigating the M-M channel.For the case of an F-M channel, modeled by Rayleigh model described by the Jakes spectrum, a common approach to estimating the channel is to use a Kalman filter (KF) based on an autoregressive model of order p (AR(p)). The conventional method for setting AR(p) model parameters is based on the correlation matching criterion (CM). However, the major disadvantage of this method is that very high orders p>15) are needed to approach the Bayesian Cramer-Rao Bound. The choice of p as well as the adjustment of the parameters of the model are therefore critical and a compromise must be found between the numerical complexity and the performance. The reasonable compromise that has attracted a lot of attention is to take p = 2. Since the CM is not efficient for p = 2, other methods of tuning have been proposed in the literature, but these are mainly based on experimental results or exhaustive searches, which limits their application.To adjust the model, we propose to use a criterion of minimization of the asymptotic variance (MAV) of the estimation error at the output of the Kalman filter. A general tuning formula has been derived based on the state of the channel (Doppler frequency and signal-to-noise ratio), which can be very useful in practice. In addition, we also derived an analytic formula for the mean squared error, which allows a better understanding of KF behavior.Then we treated the M-M channel with the possible presence of mobile relays, following the same approach. The analytical expressions for the optimal adjustment of the AR(2) model parameters and the mean squared error performance were first set according to the second and fourth moments of the Doppler spectrum of the global channel. The analytical formulas of these moments were derived by exploiting the convolution property of the density functions, after decomposing the cascading global channel channel of Jakes spectrum elementary channels. With these approaches, the results of simulations for the different channels show a considerable gain in terms of mean squared error performance estimation, compared to the literature

Full textAbstract:
A reforming trend is captured showing that countries are shifting from defined benefit pension systems towards defined contribution systems. The reforms have been justified through predictions that the defined benefit systems will not manage to provide good enough pensions to members in the future. The newer defined contribution pension plans often include individual financial accounts where individuals have the possibility to choose how a part of their pension savings should be invested. Sweden was early to introduce such a system, which at the moment provides more than 800 funds to choose from. The aim of this thesis is to capture the market risk associated with these individual investments and does so by using Monte Carlo simulations for six selected pension funds. The method produces forecasts of replacement ratios, pension as percentage of pre-retirement income, for two hypothetical individuals: one who starts to work right after elementary school and one individual who starts a five year education and after graduation starts to work. The results show a slightly lower replacement ratio for the educated individual, which also is associated with a higher probability of ending up with a low replacement ratio. The market risk also varies between the funds, which implies that the funds should be chosen with great care. The study ends with arguments for an increasing paternalism with a carefully considered fund offering, providing fewer funds to choose from than today.

Full textAbstract:
Södra DuraPulp is a relatively new eco-composite, made from natural wood fibers and polylactic acid (PLA), which comes from corn starch. Until now, there are only few applications for DuraPulp, mainly in the area of design. To find new fields of application, more knowledge about its mechanical material properties are of great interest.This study deals with characterizing the mechanical properties of DuraPulp in an analytical way by means of micromechanical modelling and evaluation with help of Matlab. The mechanical properties for PLA were taken from scientific literature. Not all properties of the wood fibers could be found in literature (particularly Poisson’s ratios were unavailable). Therefore, they partly had to be assumed within reasonable boundaries. These assumptions are later validated regarding their influence on the final product.Figures and tables were used to present and compare the in- and out-of-plane E-Moduli, shear moduli and Poisson’s ratios of DuraPulp. The calculated in-plane E-Moduli were then compared to those obtained from an earlier study, where DuraPulp was tested in tension. The results showed that experimental and analytical values are very similar to each other.Södra DuraPulp är en relativt ny eco-komposit, tillverkat av naturliga trä fibrer och polylactic syra som kommer från majsstärkelser. I dagsläget finns det få användningsområden för DuraPulp, huvudsakligen används det inom design. För att expandera användningsområdet behövs det mer kunskaper angående de mekaniska egenskaperna för materialet. Studien handlar om att karakterisera de mekaniska egenskaperna för DuraPulp på ett analytiskt sätt i form av mikro-mekanisk modellering och evaluering med hjälp av Matlab. De huvudsakliga mekaniska egenskaperna för PLA kunde hämtas från flera vetenskapliga källor, men de motsvarande mekaniska egenskaperna för fibrer kunde inte alla valideras. Delvis antogs dem i rimliga gränser och deras inverkan validerades med hjälp av en parameter studie.Figurer och tabeller användes för att presentera och jämföra in- och ut-plan E-Moduler, skjuvmoduler och tvärkontraktionstalen av DuraPulp. De beräknade in-plan E-modulerna för DuraPulp jämfördes med motsvarande E-moduler från en tidigare studie där DuraPulp genomgick dragtest. Resultatet visade att analytiska och experimentella värden överensstämmer bra med varandra.

Second language learners (SLLs) are students at risk for negative outcomes in preschool. Theoretical statements from systems theory and the ecological model of inclusive education indicate that a main focus of interest when supporting children should be the preschool environment that surrounds them. The purpose of this study is to describe and compare structures and processes in preschool settings that are presupposed by theory to have an impact on children’s functioning, along with children’s outcomes in preschool units with different proportions of SLLs. A combination of questionnaire data and data from observations were used in order to describe and compare the structure of child-teacher ratio, the process-related variables of teachers’ tone, children’s proximity and verbal interaction and lastly the outcomes of involvement and social interactions in different play types between the units. Data were analyzed with independent sample t-tests and the results revealed that units with different proportions of SLLs differ regarding processes and outcomes but not the structure of child-teacher ratio. Teachers’ tone in units with low proportion of SLLs was more positive and children were more verbal to the teacher while children in units with high proportions of SLL, had more self-talk/ private speech, less social-interactions and associative play, and lower levels of involvement. The differentiations in processes and children outcomes, along with the non-differences in child-teacher ratios between units with high and low proportions of SLLs highlight the need for further research in the field in order to investigate which environmental factors affect children outcomes in attempts to intervene and safeguard inclusiveness.

Full textAbstract:
Les poésies concrète, visuelle, sonore, apparues au début des années 1950 dans une vingtaine de pays du monde, dont l’Allemagne, la Suisse et l’Autriche, et les pièces radiophoniques expérimentales ont, jusqu’à présent, été perçues comme jeux formels avec le matériau verbal épargnant à leurs auteurs une prise de position politique par rapport au réel. Face à la réception réductrice du concept sartrien de « littérature engagée », les poétiques expérimentales apparaissent comme « désengagées ». Or, les auteurs invoquent la portée politique de leur déconstruction de poétiques traditionnelles, de normes linguistiques et de modes de pensée de la culture occidentale. Les formes d’écriture expérimentale ne seraient-elles pas alors des choix politiques au sens où elles ébranlent des visions et expériences du monde? Cette mise à distance du réel provoquerait ce que Rancière appelle la « subjectivation politique », c'est-à-dire l’émancipation du citoyen par rapport à son identité sociale figée par des manières de dire et de penser. Montrant l’intention politique immanente à certains choix poétiques cette étude aborde la notion d’engagement sous un angle poétologiqueConcrete, visual and sound poetry, as well as experimental radio plays, appearing in the early 1950s in Germany, Switzerland and Austria specifically, have until now been perceived as formal games with language, sparing their authors from taking any political position with regards to reality. Given this narrow understanding of the sartrian concept of “engaged literature”, experimental poetry hence appeared as “disengaged.” And yet, authors insist on the deconstruction of traditional poetry, of linguistic norms and of the Occidental vision of culture. As a consequence, shouldn’t we also understand experimental literary forms as political in the sense that they shatter our traditional vision and experience of the world? The distance taken from reality leads to what Rancière calls “political subjectivity”, by which he means the emancipation of the individual from a fixed social identity through news ways of saying and thinking. Analyzing the political intention inherent to specific poetical choices, this study offers a poetic approach of literary political engagement

ABSTRACT
This study examines the social and political relevance of the genre of radio drama. The
study focuses on the production of the programme Radio Theatre that features one-act
plays, which air every week for the state broadcaster, Kenya Broadcasting Corporation
(KBC). The study engages with the tension created by the programme’s production in a
state broadcaster, and the fact that Radio Theatre plays draw their themes from everyday
life. This tension has enabled us to question the validity of cultural productions such as
Radio Theatre, which, although informed by ‘official’ discourse, can be read in the realm
of popular cultural productions. Using the theory of the moral story, the study has
attempted to look at the various ways in which Radio Theatre addresses its perceived
audiences. The first chapter engages with the theoretical framework and literature review
concerned with radio drama, broadcasting and the context of Radio Theatre’s production.
The second chapter explores the history of radio drama’s production in Kenya in more
detail. As such, it engages with the politics that informed radio broadcasting in Kenya,
from the colonial era up to the postcolonial period. The third chapter looks at how Radio
Theatre plays have been used to promote the state’s agenda of national unity in Kenya.
Looking at a play that uses marriage as its dominant narrative, the chapter explores the
ways in which Radio Theatre fulfils its role as an educational drama. However, a detailed
reading of the play in question reveals several gaps that offer spaces for counter-reading
for the imagined audiences. The fourth chapter is an exploration of Radio Theatre’s
engagement with sexual morality. The chapter draws from the Kenyan social context,
which defines sexual morality using traditional and Christian structures. As such, the
chapter engages with the melodramatic presentations of four plays which deal with issues
of marriage and infidelity. The last chapter looks at Radio Theatre’s exploration of
developmental themes, a fact that points towards collaborations that KBC has made with
NGO organizations interested in similar agendas. The chapter analyzes five plays that
look into themes of HIV/AIDS, forced marriages and infertility. Arguing that such plays
seek to encourage self-development, the chapter looks at theories that have been used to
analyze the developmental values of soap operas in developing countries. The concluding chapter offers a summary of the study, and possible ways in which a study such as this could be expanded

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this thesis is the analysis of the collective literary output of the two young authors - German writer Martin Becker and his Czech friend Jaroslav Rudiš. A part of my thesis concerns also with their lives and own works. The object is to find Czech motives in the work and life of Martin Becker and influence of German culture on the books of Jaroslav Rudiš, to concern on typical characteristics and analysis of their collective works. In my thesis I arrive at the conclusion that the Czech stay, interest in Czech language and literature reflect in works of Becker, in the similar way are books of Rudiš influenced by his interest in German authors, art, history, German language and other. In collective work are these moments interwoven and supplemented.

This dissertation thesis focuses on the use of drama in English language teaching. In the theoretical part the field of drama in ELT is elaborated in terms of its principles, methods and examples of practical use. Based on the outlined theoretical basis the technique radio role play is introduced. The main aim of the thesis was to identify and verify possibilities and limitations of the technique applied in English language teaching. To meet the aim of the thesis action research was used as the research design employing a range of data collection methods, e.g. questionnaires with pupils; interviews with pupils, teachers and critical friends. Content analysis was used to process the collected data and the analysis was further interpreted with the support of contextual information regarding educational setting in which the research was carried out and contextual material (lesson plans, teaching material, audio and video recordings). Within the four cycles of action research initial hypotheses, which were formulated before the actual research, were verified. The research findings show that the radio role playing contributes to the development of speaking as a language skill (mainly fluency and spontaneity of speech), improvisation skills, creativity and non-verbal communication. The main limitation...

Full textAbstract:
The thesis looks at the Czech life of the Flowers for Algernon short story written by Daniel Keyes. It aims to present an analytical comparison of the short story translations and dramatizations created in the Czech cultural environment and to define their invariants. The theoretical part of the thesis informs the reader about the life and work of Daniel Keyes and depicts the process of creation of the short story in question. Furthermore, it outlines its main themes and stylistic features, as well as its reception both in the U. S. and abroad. Special attention is paid to the reception in Czechoslovakia, or rather the Czech Republic, namely to the two short story translations (Černý, 1976; Markus, 2003) and the three original dramatizations (Říhová, 1988; Hruška, 1993; Heger, 2010). All pieces of work are presented in their broader socio-cultural context, with due regard to their authors. This contextualisation lays the foundations for the subsequent translatological analysis, which is based on Gideon Toury's descriptive model (1995). In accordance with Toury, the Czech short stories are seen as products of the target culture. Therefore, the assumed translations are first assessed in terms of their acceptability in this culture and these hypotheses are then tested by means of comparison of...
