Abstract:

Ellipticity of operators on manifolds with conical singularities or parabolicity on space-time cylinders are known to be linked to parameter-dependent operators (conormal symbols) on a corresponding base manifold. We introduce the conormal symbolic structure for the case of corner manifolds, where the base itself is a manifold with edges and boundary. The specific nature of parameter-dependence requires a systematic approach in terms of meromorphic functions with values in edge-boundary value problems. We develop here a corresponding calculus, and we construct inverses of elliptic elements.

Curl, Heather D. "The "ongoing culture shock" of upward mobility| Cultural capital, symbolic violence and implications for family relationships." Thesis, University of Pennsylvania, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3594289.

Full text

Abstract:

Social mobility is often viewed as a way to alleviate poverty and create equality; it represents the basis upon which the United States is viewed as a meritocratic nation of opportunity. Missing from this persistent narrative, however, is analysis of the actual experience of social mobility. This qualitative study explores the narratives of individuals as they reflect on their experiences of upward mobility through education. Data include in-depth interviews with 25 individuals with an advanced degree whose parents did not attend college, and 10 individuals who have an advanced degree similar to their parents. This study considers three dimensions of cultural capital—embodied cultural capital associated with how individuals present themselves, linguistic cultural capital associated with how individuals speak and communicate and cultural capital related to taste, beliefs and knowledge, associated with individual’s leisure time choices, food and drink preferences and beliefs about the world. Across data, mobile individuals express the expectation or need to take on the cultural practices and behavior of their new class context. Data suggest that the process through which upwardly mobile individuals experience shifts in culture is more complex than currently conceived. In addition, these changes in culture can lead to internal conflict and difficulty in connection with families of origin; representing the potential costs of upward mobility. Implications include an amendment to cultural mobility research and to current strategies in urban education which position cultural capital as a character trait that can be learned or taken up by individuals.

This dissertation explores the case of emigration from Latvia towards the West after collapse of the Soviet Union. It takes the perspective of a particular cultural structure that came to dominate post-Soviet Latvia and adopts the vantage point of the state-society relationships this structure has cast. The central question of this study examines: what is the relationship between the cultural structure in post-Soviet Latvia and emigration towards the West? This study answers this question by contrasting Latvia’s civil discourse with emigrants’ and those who remain in Latvia personal narratives through the lens of cultural sociology that emphasizes the role of the symbolic realm, meaning making, and emotions. Research findings suggested that the post-Soviet cultural structure was dominated by "symbolic codes" (Alexander and Smith, 1993) or sharp divides such as West vs. East/Soviet, Right vs. Left, and Developed vs. Underdeveloped. Notably, symbolic codes of West, Right and Developed were constructed as “sacred” while their opposites were pushed out of "sacred" and ridiculed. These divides originated from such particular emotions as shame, confidence/pride and fear. Their meanings in the dominant transformation discourse and emotional origins were formative to the identity and modern state craft, and subjectivities in post-Soviet Latvia. These sharp divides between what is "sacred" in a community and what is not, came with "unintended consequences" (Weber, 2002). These divides and how they shaped the transformation discourse trumpeted misguided notion of the West, post-Soviet Latvia so eagerly wanted to resemble and belong to. Given this distorted notion of the West, the ruling elite fashioned environment where people not only lost hope for their better future in Latvia but began to lose their self-confidence - an important emotion for one’s "willingness to act" (Barbalet, 2004, p.83); and, as such, were more prone to emigration. Emigration for my respondents provided the space where West and Left were experienced as compatible despite their construction as incompatible in post-Soviet Latvia. Amidst confidence over their better future in their receiving countries, this gave to emigrants also a feeling of comfort, sense of self-confidence and empowerment.

Komárov is partially isolated city part with fragmented formally colourful structure and also a picture and character with high percentage of empty or degraded areas. Continuity on logistic knot, good transportation connection, planned and implemented squeeze out of major road and with that connected easing of current street net require new city planning of the whole area and therefore allows subsequent transformation of the area by way of overwritingand individualized intervention. This final thesis will be focused on examples of solving the substance of the city, by method of approaches and on stressing out the skeleton of public space with allocation of objects with symbolic structure. Content of this thesis City planning study of the area Komárov centre, stressing out of the symbolic skeleton and structure and the skeleton of public space with addition of related objects Architecture proposal of objects complementary to a structure and picture of area Program of new interventions and conversions of existing and preserved objects

Armstrong, Beth Diane. "Hippocampus: seahorse; brain-structure; spatial map; concept." Thesis, Rhodes University, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1002224.

Full text

Abstract:

Through an exploration of both sculptural and thought processes undertaken in making my Masters exhibition, ‘Hippocampus’, I unpack some possibilities, instabilities, and limitations inherent in representation and visual perception. This thesis explores the Hippocampus as image (seahorse) and concept (brain-structure involved in cognitive mapping of space). Looking at Gilles Deleuze’s writings on representation, I will expand on the notion of the map as being that which does not define and fix a structure or meaning, but rather is open, extendable and experimental. I explore the becoming, rather than the being, of image and concept. The emphasis here is on process, non-representation, and fluidity of meaning. This is supportive of my personal affirmation of the practice and process of art-making as research. I will refer to the graphic prints of Maurits Cornelis Escher as a means to elucidate a visual contextualization of my practical work, particularly with regard to the play with two- and three-dimensional space perception. Through precisely calculated ‘experiments’ that show up the partiality of our visual perception of space, Escher alludes to things that either cannot actually exist as spatial objects or do exist, but resist representation. Similarly I will explore how my own sculptures, although existing in space resist a fixed representation and suggest ideas of other spaces, non-spaces; an in-between space that does not pin itself down and become fixed to any particular image, idea, objector representation.

Abstract:

Diese Dissertation demonstriert, inwiefern historisch gewachsene Strukturen sozialer Hierarchie in einer Gemeinschaft aufrechterhalten werden, während sie zugleich unterschiedliche legalisierende Rechtfertigungen und rechtlich vertretbare Erscheinungsbilder angenommen haben. Im ersten Kapitel zeige ich, dass das zeitgenössische egalitäre Prinzip der Chancengleichheit (FEO) und seine Anwendung, im Zusammenspiel mit Meritokratie, dazu führt, dass aufgrund sozialer Hierarchien existierende Unterschiede über die Zeit hinweg in politisch legitimierbare sozioökonomische Ungleichheiten übersetzt werden. Ich nähere mich dem zugrunde liegenden Mechanismus der weiterbestehenden Ungleichheit durch die Verwendung von Bourdieus Theorie der symbolischen Herrschaft und Gewalt. Er erklärt, dass auf der Grundlage der Meritokratie individuelle soziale Positionen als direkte Folgen individueller Leistungen missverstanden werden und so die Existenz sozialer Ungleichheit gerechtfertigt wird. Der Glaube an fairen sozialen Wettbewerb kann demnach dazu beitragen, existierende Strukturen sozialer Hierarchien hinter der Logik von Gleichheit und Freiheit zu verdecken. Ein Fischerdof in Japan stellt die empirische Grundlage meiner Thesis dar. Die alles überspannende Forschungsfrage lautet: Ist das Konzept vom Leben, eingebettet in FEO internalisiert und wird es von Individuen befolgt, um die existierenden Strukturen sozialer Ungleichheit der Gesellschaft zu bewahren, in der sie leben? Meine empirische Studie zeigt, dass die schon in der feudalen Ära mächtigsten Familien auch jetzt die höchsten sozialen Positionen innerhalb des Gemeinschaftsbildungsprojekts innehaben. Zudem verkennen sowohl die mächtigsten als auch die marginalisiertesten Bewohner des Dorfes ihre soziale Position innerhalb der Gemeinschaft als direkte Resultate ihres individuellen Handelns und ihrer daraus entstehenden Leistungen, haben dabei aber keinerlei bewusste Intention die feudale Machthierarchie aufrecht zu erhalten.
This doctoral research demonstrates how the structures of social hierarchy of the past have been perpetuated while acquiring different justifications and appearances in a legally justifiable manner. In the first chapter, I demonstrate that the commonly used egalitarian principle in today’s society, namely Fair Equality of Opportunity, hand in hand with meritocracy, functions as a translator of the existing structures of social hierarchy into politically justifiable disparities between individuals. I approach the un-derlying mechanism of persisting inequality by using the theory of symbolic domination proposed by Pierre Bourdieu. He explains that the existence of social inequality is justified because individual social positions are misrecognised as being the direct results of individual achievements via meritocracy. Widespread belief in fair social competition can thus contribute to concealing existing structures of social hierarchy behind the logic of equality and freedom. My thesis is empirically based on a rural fishing village in Japan. The overarching research question is: Is a concept of life as being the direct result of personal achievements internalised and acted upon by individuals to perpetuate the existing structure of social inequality in the society in which they live? My empirical study shows that the families that were powerful during the feudal era now occupy the highest social positions in the community-building project. Furthermore, both the powerful and the marginalised members of the local society accept their social positions in the community as being the direct results of their own individual achievements, without any conscious intention to perpetuate the feudal hierarchy of power. Given these affirmative answers to my research question, hermeneutically, I establish the explanatory power of my theoretical framework.

Sarikaya, Merve. "A Julia Kristevan Analysis Of Emily Dickinson And John Milton." Master's thesis, METU, 2007. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12608453/index.pdf.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis aims to analyze poems by Emily Dickinson and John Milton according to Julia Kristeva&rsquo
s theories of poetic language and abjection, and to see the extent to which these concepts are applicable to two such different poets and also to see how the poets compare within such analytic framework. Kristeva adapts a psychoanalytic approach to poststructuralist theory. Psychoanalytic criticism with its two leading figures, Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, has been analyzed to see its reflections on Kristeva&rsquo
s theory. As regards, the semiotic, the symbolic, the abject and the paragrammatic structure of poetic language are four main concepts which have been found to be critical tools to be used in the analyses of Dickinson and Milton&rsquo
s poems. What has been concluded from the analyses in this thesis is that in both Dickinson and Milton&rsquo
s poems, according to Kristeva&rsquo
s theory of poetic language, there is the intrusion of the semiotic into the symbolic which is further supported with the concept of the abject. Also, the difference between a seventeenth century and a modern poet in terms of a Kristevan approach has been deduced in this thesis. That is, Kristeva&rsquo
s theory of paragrammatic structure has proved that in v Dickinson&rsquo
s poems, each and every word helps to sustain an image. Contrary to this, in Milton&rsquo
s Comus, which is a work of the seventeenth century, it has been somewhat difficult to apply Kristeva&rsquo
s theory of paragrammatic structure.

Abstract:

Operators on a manifold with (geometric) singularities are degenerate in a natural way. They have a principal symbolic structure with contributions from the different strata of the configuration. We study the calculus of such operators on the level of edge symbols of second generation, based on specific quantizations of the corner-degenerate interior symbols, and show that this structure is preserved under compositions.

Youcef, Fatima. "Bourdieu face à la littérature." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010LYO20007.

Full text

Abstract:

Dans Les Règles de l'art, Bourdieu propose une science des œuvres. A l'aide des concepts de champ, d'habitus, d’espace des possibles, il tente de faire le lien entre la littéraire et le social. Son approche récuse toute tentation psychologisante et ferme la porte à toute explication du processus créatif en termes de génie, de sensibilité ou d’inspiration. La littérature est d’abord au carrefour des faits sociaux. Les textes sont des faits sociaux, comme apparition mais aussi comme expression. Ils ne sont ni à sacraliser ni à désacraliser. Bourdieu tente de rendre intelligible l’espace littéraire des auteurs. Il veut mettre en lumière ce qui rend l’œuvre d’art nécessaire, c’est-à-dire sa formule informatrice, son principe générateur, sa raison d’être. Il affirme qu'au fond l'écrivain, quelle que soit son orientation, n'a pas d'autres choix que d'être traversé par la sociologie de son époque. Il suggère même que tout effort de distanciation formelle, supposant que l'œuvre soit un ailleurs du réel, est signe de cette connaissance intuitive du réel lui-même. L’Education Sentimentale de Flaubert se prête particulièrement bien à ce paradigme analytique. En s’arrêtant sur la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle, Bourdieu décrit la genèse et le processus d’autonomisation de l’espace littéraire qui entérine le fonctionnement du champ. Il essaie alors de montrer comment les règles sont articulées par/dans une configuration sociale, politique, économique, culturelle et quelle place nouvelle occupe, dans cette modernité, l'artiste
I have used Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological approach as a critical tool for the study of literary texts. As a sociologist, Bourdieu is not satisfied with the notion that the literary text would be isolated from the world and considers the writer as a product of economic, social, religious or political circumstances that may be recovered through analysis. According to Bourdieu, the development of literature as an independent field goes hand in hand with the expansion of a liberal politics, a connection critics refuse to recognize as they will believe in the myth of inspired creation. Bourdieu retraces to the nineteenth century the moment when literature became independent and describes how twentieth-century literature is but a perpetuation of nineteenth-century literary myths. I also look at the ways the specialists of Flaubert responded to the publication of Les Règles de l’art as the book provoked heated debates when it was issued. I have especially examined the arguments of critics hostile to Bourdieu in order to demonstrate how such an emblematic figure as Flaubert embodies what is at stake when one questions the notion of literature. How can Bourdieu fit in literary studies? One has to be careful interpreting the title of Bourdieu’s book. Les Règles de l’art is no prescriptive book : Bourdieu is not the one who sets the rule nor does he suggest that there were no rules before the advent of the modern age. He is simply trying to show how, from the start of this period, the literary world is determined by specific social, political, economic and cultural conditions and questions the particular role played by the artist in this new state of things

Full text

Abstract:

Le fantasme de retour à la nature, entendu comme un retour à une matrice originelle a surtout pris la forme, en Occident, d'une recherche d'un paradis perdu ou d'un retour à un âge d'or.La première partie vise à illustrer la permanence de ce fantasme avec l'approche de quelques manifestations ayant traversé les âges. Ces expressions du fantasme de retour à la nature sont présentées en deux grandes thématiques : le rapport à l'altérité radicale avec les figures du barbare et du sauvage depuis la haute Antiquité jusqu'au premier voyage de Christophe Colomb dans le chapitre 1, puis la quête d'un monde meilleur avec les millénarismes chrétiens dans le chapitre 2. Le chapitre 3 est, quant à lui, consacré à l'évocation des traces préhistoriques de ce fantasme et, en particulier, aux conséquences de la fracture néolithique.La deuxième partie s'intéresse à l'identité du fantasme de retour à la nature et à sa fonction dans les imaginaires. En Occident, ce fantasme a donné naissance à un paradis terrestre permettant la synthèse de trois fantasmes fondamentaux : jeunesse éternelle, facilité et perfection. Cet aspect du fantasme est abordé dans le chapitre 5. La question de l'existence d'un imaginaire primordial est également approchée de même que les problèmes soulevés par l'élaboration d'une théorie générale de l'imaginaire, cette fois dans les chapitres 4 et 6.La troisième partie cherche à mettre au jour l'origine de ce fantasme : à savoir, sa généalogie évolutive. L'homme bénéficie d'un niveau de sécurité dont nul autre animal ne semble profiter. Homo sapiens doit ainsi son apparition et son essor à sa capacité à se soustraire à l'arbitraire du monde sauvage. Gain de l'évolution, cette liberté de l'être humain signifie son expulsion irréversible de la nature et pourrait être à l'origine du fantasme fondateur de retour à la nature. Le chapitre 7 s'intéresse plus particulièrement à la recherche de l'ailleurs, tandis que le chapitre 8 est focalisé sur les notions de transformation et de maîtrise du monde et le chapitre 9 sur la question de la liberté
In the West, the fantasy of returning to nature, understood as a return to an original matrix, has mainly taken the form of a search for a lost paradise or a return to a golden age.The first part aims at illustrating the persistence of this fantasy with the examination of some of its expressions. These expressions are presented along two major lines: the relationship to radical otherness with the figures of the savage and the barbaric since ancient times, up to the first Christopher Columbus' journey in Chapter 1, and the quest for a better world with the Christian millenniums in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 is devoted to the evocation of this prehistoric fantasy, and in particular, the consequences of the Neolithic divide.The second part focuses on the identity of the fantasy of returning to nature and its function in collective imagination. In the West, this fantasy has given birth to the search for an earthly paradise, as the synthesis of three fundamental fantasies: eternal youth, easy life, and perfection. This aspect of the fantasy is discussed in Chapter 5. The question of the existence of a primary imagination is also discussed, as well as the issues raised by the development of a general theory of imagination, in Chapters 4 and 6.The third part seeks to uncover the origin of this fantasy: namely, its genealogy over time. Human beings have reached a level of security from which no other animal seems to benefit. Homo sapiens owe their origin and evolution to their ability to protect themselves from the arbitrariness of the wilderness. The freedom human beings have gained through evolution goes along with their irreversible expulsion from nature and could be the source of the fantasy of returning to nature. Chapter 7 deals specifically with the call for an elsewhere, Chapter 8 is focused on the notions of transformation and mastery of the world, and Chapter 9 on the question of freedom

Saldarriaga, Alzate Ana Victoria. "Clinique de la psychose ordinaire avec des enfants et des adolescents." Thesis, Paris 8, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA080126/document.

Full text

Abstract:

Cette thèse aborde la clinique de la psychose avec des enfants et des adolescents à partir de deux diagnostics : dans la première partie, le diagnostic de « Psychose ordinaire », d’orientation lacanienne, et, dans la seconde partie, ce qui a été qualifié par des orientations postfreudiennes de « limite », soit un « cas », un « état » ou un « trouble ». Des séries de cas respectifs ont été examinés, à partir des rapports écrits par les psychanalystes de chaque orientation. Dans cette recherche, nous avons pu vérifier que lorsque des changements immédiats et positifs sont arrivés dans le cours même des séances, ils le sont toujours grâce à l’établissement du transfert. Dans cette perspective, Lacan a souligné que les cas dit « limites » sont en réalité des cas d’acting out, où le sujet cherche à pousser le transfert depuis le registre imaginaire des significations vers l’opération symbolique dans laquelle doivent être pris les signifiants de la langue ou de la lalangue qu’il prononce. Ce que les « cas limites » mettent en relief est la « limite transférentielle ». Dans la psychose ordinaire, les suppléances imaginaires réussies par le sujet seul ont acquis en présence de l’autre réel du transfert des supports symboliques stables. Dans la psychose extraordinaire, où ces suppléances manquent et l’appel du sujet à un autre est fait à travers différentes manifestations de la jouissance, l’acquisition du support signifiant est suffisant pour des changements subjectifs significatifs et l’établissement de liens sociaux. Grâce au transfert l’état extraordinaire devient ordinaire et on peut dire que dans la clinique de la psychose, il y a un avant et un après le transfert
This thesis approaches the clinical psychosis with children and adolescents from two different diagnoses: in the first part, the diagnosis of "ordinary psychosis", Lacanian orientation, and, in the second, what has been qualified by certain guidelines post-Freudian "limit", be it a "case", a "state" or a "disorder”. The respective case series have been examined from texts written by psychoanalysts of each orientation. In this thesis, we have been able to verify that, when there have been immediate and positive changes in the actual course of the sessions, it has been thanks to the establishment of the transfer. From this point of view, Lacan has emphasized that the cases qualified as "borderline" are really acts of acting out, through which the subject seeks to turn the transfer of the imaginary register of significations towards the register of the signifiers. In this record, what counts is the symbolic operation in which are taken these signifiers of the language or the lalangue pronounced by the subject. In the ordinary psychosis, the imaginary substitutions, achieved by the subject alone, have acquired, in the presence of the other reality of the transference, stable symbolic supports. In the extraordinary psychosis, when these substitutions have been lacking and the subject makes their call to the other through different manifestations of enjoyment, the acquisition of significant support is sufficient to achieve meaningful subjective changes and the establishment of social bonds. Thanks to the transfer, the extraordinary state becomes ordinary and one can say that in the clinical psychosis there is a before and an after the transfer

Abstract:

Standardized formative mathematics assessments typically fail to capture the depth of current standards and curricula. Consequently, these assessments demonstrate limited utility for informing the instructional implementation choices of teachers. This problem is particularly salient as it relates to the mathematical problem solving process. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the psychometric characteristics of Structural-Symbolic Translation Fluency, a curriculum-based measure (CBM) of mathematical problem solving. The development of the assessment was based on previous research describing the cognitive process of translation (Mayer, 2002) as well as mathematical concept development at the quantitative, structural, and symbolic levels (Dehaene, 2011; Faulkner, 2009; Griffin, 2004). Data on the Structural-Symbolic Translation Fluency assessment were collected from 11 mathematics and psychometrics experts and 42 second grade students during the spring of 2016. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, frequencies, Spearman-Brown correlation, joint probability of agreement, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. Psychometric features of interest included internal consistency, inter-rater reliability, test-retest reliability, content validity, and criterion-related validity. Testing of the 9 research questions revealed 9 significant findings. Despite significant statistical findings, several coefficients did not meet pre-established criteria required for validation. Hypothesized modifications to improve the psychometric characteristics are suggested as the focus of future research. In addition, recommendations are made concerning the role of assessing the translation process of mathematical problem solving.

Abstract:

Driveability analysis of terrain data offers an important technique for decision support for all kinds of movements in the terrain. The work described in this report uses a high resolution digital terrain model generated from the laser radar data and further processed by the Category Viewer program, and information from the Real Estate Map. Properties of features found in a filtering process are calculated and compared with a set of rules in a knowledge base to get a driveability cost. This cost is then visualized in a graphical user interface.

An evaluation of what driveability is and what it is affected by is performed, and a general cost function is developed, which can be used even if not all relevant information is available.

The methods for property and cost calculation need to be developed further, as well as the rules in the knowledge base. However, the implemented program offers a good framework for furtherresearch in the area.

Abstract:

Les systèmes répartis deviennent omniprésents au quotidien, en particulier dans des domaines critiques, requérant une forte garantie de fiabilité. Les approches basées sur le test sont intrinsèquement non-exhaustives, rendant nécessaire l’usage de méthodes formelles. Parmi elles, nous nous concentrons sur le model-checking, qui explore tous les comportements d’un système pour s’assurer que sa spécification est respectée. Mais cette approche se heurte à l’explosion combinatoire : le nombre d’états d’un système réparticroît exponentiellement avec son nombre de composants. Nous retenons deux des nombreuses solutions à ce problème :- les symétries pour identifier des comportements similaires : ils partagent des propriétés communes, ce qui réduit le nombre d’états à explorer. - des structures de données compactes, comme les diagrammes de décision (DD), pour réduire l’empreinte mémoire de l’exploration. Nous proposons trois principales contributions :- La réduction par symétries et les DD sont théoriquement orthogonaux, mais se combinent mal en pratique, car l’efficacité des DD repose sur l’emploi d’algorithmes dédiés. Nous proposons un nouvel algorithme pour appliquer la réduction par symétries sur des DD, et démontrons son efficacité pratique. - Classiquement, les opérations sur les DD sont encodées après un pré-calcul de toutes les entrées possibles. Nous offrons un nouveau mécanisme de manipulation des DD, entièrement symbolique, qui évite un tel pré-calcul. Nous démontrons son efficacité pour encoder une relation de transition. - Nous montrons comment ces deux contributions peuvent être appliquées à un formalisme déjà existant, les Symmetric Nets with Bags
Distributed systems are becoming omnipresent in our daily life, especially in critical domains, thus requiring a strong guarantee of reliability. Approaches like testing are inherently not exhaustive, so that formal methods are needed. Among those, we focus on model-checking, that consists in exploring exhaustively all the behaviors of a system to ensure that the specification is enforced. However, this approach faces the “combinatorial explosion” problem: the number behaviors of a distributed system increases exponentially with its number of components. To tackle this explosion, several approaches have been proposed. We focus on two of them:- symmetries to identify similar behaviors: they share similar properties, thus allowing to reduce the number of behaviors to explore;- symbolic compact data structures, namely decision diagrams (DD), to reduce the memory footprint of the explored behaviors. We propose three main contributions:- Symmetry reduction and DD are theoretically orthogonal techniques, but are not known to combine well in practice, because efficiency of DD heavily relies on the use of dedicated algorithms. We propose a novel algorithm to use symmetry reduction on DD, and demonstrate experimentally its efficiency. - Classical operations on DD are encoded using a pre-computation of all possible inputs. We offer a new mechanism of manipulation of DD, fully symbolic, that avoids such a pre-computation. We demonstrate its efficiency to encode a transition relation, and to improve our symmetry reduction algorithm- We show how to use the two previous contributions to model-check an existing class of models, the Symmetric Nets with Bags

This thesis investigates software as a textual and aesthetic object through research- based artistic practice and arts-based research. Its main particular interest is in how codes (computer codes, more specifically, but positioned in relation to other linguistic codes) exercise control. It engages Pierre Bourdieu's framework of language and symbolic power, Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding model, and Wendy Chun's notion of programability, aiming to discuss how to read codes in ways that create possible semantic and pragmatic negotiations with their imperatives. This document draws a model of reading that accounts for the sociological distribution of authority contained in software. It accepts ambiguity in face of invisibility, examines what is the ontological proximity of the code with the performative effect it generates, and how shifts and manipulations of this relational axis may work to oppose or divert prescriptive command structures. The goal of the project is to reflect upon how art practice can provide different modes of reading codes that may prove themselves pertinent to a less passive engagement with this subtle layer of control of everyday life.

Abstract:

This dissertation critically reviews prior labeling theory research concerning juvenile delinquency and adult criminality, and presents a structural equation model utilizing the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). The labeling perspective is outlined as it was originally presented, and the theoretical elaborations that have taken place since are highlighted. Distinctions are made between formally applied criminal justice labels and the informal labels that are applied by significant others and parents. An interactionist labeling model that incorporates respondents’ levels of self-control is presented to explain formal labeling, levels of juvenile delinquency, and future criminality among a nationally representative sample of American adolescents: three waves of Add Health. The findings show that formal labeling was the strongest significant predictor of subsequent criminal involvement and that it mediated the effect of prior delinquency on subsequent criminal involvement.

Abstract:

Explanations of why mathematics is useful to empirical research focus on mathematics' role as a representation or model. On platonist accounts, the representational relation is one of structural correspondence between features of the real world and the abstract mathematical structures that represent them. Where real numbers are concerned, however, there is good reason to think the world's correspondence with systems of real number symbols, rather than the real numbers themselves, can be utilized for our representational purposes. One way this can be accomplished is through a paraphrase interpretation of real number symbols where the symbols are taken to refer directly to the things in the world real numbers are supposed to represent. A platonist account of structural correspondence between structures of real numbers and the world can be found in the foundations of measurement where a scale of real numbers is applied to quantities of physical properties like length, mass and velocity. This subject will be employed as a demonstration of how abstract real numbers, traditionally construed as modeling features of the world, are superfluous if their symbols are taken to refer directly to those features.

Abstract:

Abstract In this thesis a socio-cultural perspective of medical science education is adopted to argue the position that undergraduate medical scientists must be enculturated into the profession as knowledge workers and symbolic analysts who can interact with computers in complex analytical procedures, quality assurance and quality management. The cue for this position is taken from the transformations taking place in the pathology industry due to advances in automation, robotics and informatics. The rise of Evidence-Based Laboratory Medicine (EBLM) is also noted and the observation by higher education researchers, that knowledge systems are transforming in such a way that disciplines can no longer act in isolation. They must now collaborate with disparate fields in transdisciplinary knowledge systems such as EBLM, for which new skills must be cultivated in undergraduate medical scientists. This thesis aims to describe a theoretical basis for knowledge work by taking a semiotic perspective. This is because, semiotics, a theory of signs and representations, can be applied to the structure of transdisciplinary scientific knowledge, the logic of scientific practice and the rhetoric of scientific communications. For this purpose, a semiotic framework is first derived from a wide range of semiotic theories existent in the literature. Then the application of this semiotic framework to clinical chemistry knowledge, context, logic, and rhetoric is demonstrated. This is achieved by interpreting various clinical chemistry data sources, for example, course materials, laboratory spatial arrangements, instruments, printouts, and students' practical reports, collected from a teaching laboratory situation. The results of semiotic analysis indicate that the clinical chemist working in the computerised laboratory environment performs knowledge work, and the term is synonymous with symbolic analysis. It is shown that knowledge work entails the application of a systematic structure for clinical chemistry knowledge derived in terms of the validation procedures applied to laboratory, data, results and tests; the application of logic in the classification and selection of instruments, their rulegoverned- use, and in troubleshooting errors; pragmatic decisions based on availability of space, services and budgets; discrimination among values in laboratory test evaluations in EBLM, for the cost-effectiveness and relevance of pathology services; and the recognition of rhetorical strategies used to communicate laboratory test information in graphs, charts, and statistics. The role of the laboratory context is also explained through semiotics, in terms of its spatial arrangements and designs of laboratory instruments, as a place that constrains the knowledge work experience. This contextual analysis provides insights into the oppositional trend brought to wide attention by analysts of computerised professional work, that more skills are needed, but that there are fewer highly skilled positions available. The curriculum implications of these findings are considered in terms of the need to cultivate knowledge workers for highly complex symbolic analysis in computerised laboratories; and also the need to prepare medical science graduates for the transdisciplinary knowledge system of EBLM, and related venues of employment such as biomedical research and clinical medicine. In meeting the aims to define and demonstrate knowledge work from the semiotic perspective, this thesis makes an original contribution to knowledge by the application of semiotics to a field in which it has probably never been tested. It contributes to the scholarship of teaching in higher education by formulating a structure for transdisciplinary medical science knowledge, which integrates scientific with other forms of knowledge, and with real world practice.

Abstract:

Dans le contexte plus général de l'analyse de documents techniques, notre objectif consiste, d'une part, à extraire toutes les composantes (texte, symboles et lignes de connexion) constituant un schéma et, d'autre part, à reconnaitre les deux composantes graphiques. Pour cela, nous proposons une approche qui exploite au maximum les liens contextuels existant entre les trois sortes de composantes. Parmi les avantages de l'utilisation de ces liens contextuels, il y a l'efficacité de la détection des lignes de connexion et la réduction du nombre de fausses boucles traitées. En effet, la détection des lignes de connexion est totalement guidée par le résultat du processus de reconnaissance de symboles. Notons qu'aucune restriction n'est faite, ni sur la direction des lignes de connexion ni sur leur longueur. Le module de détection de symboles est fondé sur le principe de prédiction-vérification d'hypothèses. La construction d'hypothèses de présence de symbole utilisé en plus de l'information points extrémités des lignes de connexion, l'information boucle ou texte pour prédire la présence de symboles. Pour cette étape, nous proposons une méthode originale de mise en correspondance de graphes attribués à base d'étiquetage structurel et géométrique et de la relaxation discrète pour assurer la consistance locale, avant vérification de la consistance globale. Cette approche est invariante par rapport à l'homothétie et la rotation qui existent entre le symbole et le modèle

Abstract:

For the majority of the 20th century, one of the central dogmas of linguistics was that, at the level of the lexicon, the relationship between words and meanings is arbitrary: there is nothing about the word ‘dog’ for example that makes it a particularly good label for a dog. However, in recent years it has become increasingly recognized that non-arbitrary associations between words and meanings make up a small, but potentially important portion of the lexicon. This thesis focuses on exploring the effect that non-arbitrary associations between words and meanings have on language learning and the structure of the lexicon. Based on a critical analysis of the existing literature, and the results of a number of experiments presented here, I suggest that the overall prevalence and developmental timing of two forms of non-arbitrariness in the lexicon– systematicity and motivatedness – is shaped by the pressure for languages to be learnable while remaining expressive. The effect of pressures for learnability and expressivity have been recognized to have important implications for the structure of language generally, but have so far not been applied to explain structure at the level of the lexicon. The central claim presented in this dissertation is that features of the perceptual and cognitive organization of humans results in specific types of associations between words and meanings being easier for naïve learners to acquire than others, and that the pressure for languages to be learnable results in lexica that leverage these human biases. Taking advantage of these biases, however, induces constraints on the structure of the lexicon that, left unchecked, might limit its expressivity or penalize subsequent learning. Thus, lexica are structured such that early-acquired words are able to leverage these biases while avoiding the limitations imposed by those biases when they are extended past a certain point.

Abstract:

En se déclarent "artisan" en ses oeuvres, Hervé Bazin induit le concept didactique d'"outils de l'écriture" qui lui confèrent différentes figures d'écrivain : géomètre, peintre, architecte, arpenteur. Chacune de ces figures produit des structures textuelles spécifiques : éléments géométriques, graphiques, rythmiques et singulièrement la mise en abyme que la thèse privilégie par le jeu d'une analyse thématique, lexicale et symbolique d'un chapitre - clé d'un feu dévore un autre feu pris comme module emblématique constitutif d'un espace imaginaire tripartite : jardin nature, maison famille, placards moi. Se dégage ainsi un univers symbolique abordé selon une double approche méthodologique : critique de l'imaginaire et critique psychanalytique. Il en résulte l'émergence d'une autre figure d'Hervé Bazin, celle de l'homme aux serpents tant il est vrai que, même reniée par son auteur, la vipère s'est maintenue tout au long de son oeuvre (lexique, images, séquences, symboles reptiliens). Un parallélisme biographique montre à la fin que la vipère est à Hervé Bazin ce que la bête d'angoisse fut à Serguei Pankejeff, l'homme aux loups de Freud
Declaring himself to be a literary craftsan, Hervé Bazin introduces the didactic concept of the writer's "tools" which give the novelist his different personae : the geometer, the painter, the architect, the surveyor. Each persona produces specific textual structures : geometrical, graphic, rhythmical elements, and more particularly a "mise en abyme" (the play within the play) which this thesis concentrates on through analysing the theme, lexis, and symbols of a key chapter of feu devore un autre feu - taken as an emblematic unit shaping a threefold imaginary space : garden nature, home family, cupboards me. In this way a symbolical world emerges which is approached by means of a twofold method : a critique of the imaginary, and a psychoanalytical critique. What emerges is another persona of Hervé Bazin, that of man-with-the-snakes, since even if disowned by the author, the viper has lived on in his works (lexis, images, sequences, reptilian symbols). Drawing a parallel between their lives shows in the end that the viper is to herve bazin what the beast of anguish was to Serguei Pankzjeff, Freud’s man-with-the-wolves

Abstract:

This paper focuses on Francesco Borromini's church Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza, and the relation between Solomonic symbolism and Hebrew linguistics to the structure of the church. Kabbalistic influence during the Renaissance is explored, as well as Borromini's intellectual involvement with the Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher. The Solomonic influence present within Borromini?s church is examined through the comparison of architectural features within Sant'Ivo, to the descriptions of the First Temple of Jerusalem described within the book of Kings. Within the book of Kings, there is a specific passage that becomes a clue into an arcane interpretation of Hebrew scripture known as Gematria. Through Gematria, the language of this scripture is thought of as something beyond a method of description; it becomes a cosmological framework by which to interpret the Solomonic meaning of Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza.

Abstract:

Low participation of racially ethnic minority youth in snow sports activities may be caused by racism through structural and symbolic factors. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of teachers from school-based programs and resort ski school programs as well as coaches from afterschool club and community-based organizations regarding the structural and symbolic influences on the participation of racially ethnic minority youth in snow sports. Using critical race theory as the conceptual framework, a qualitative, phenomenological inquiry was centered on the experiences of ethnic minority youth related to potential racism in structural and symbolic factors regarding participating in snow sports activities. Participants were selected by a purposeful, homogenous sampling strategy, and data were collected from semistructured interviews of the 12 participants. Data were analyzed through the use of NVivo12 to search for codes, categories, and themes related to racism and the structural and symbolic factors that influence racially ethnic minority youth participation in snow sports activities. The findings of this study help bring an increased understanding of why there continues to be a lack of racially ethnic minority youth in snow sports through themes, such as exposure and access, cultural representation, and racism, which may be useful to schools, resorts, clubs, and similar organizations who educate youth and promote snow sports activities. The results of this study may help bring about positive social change by supporting culturally responsive practices throughout the snow sports industry, which aim to provide fair, equitable, and inclusive opportunities for racially ethnic minority groups to participate in snow sports.

Abstract:

Partant de l’idée que des filiales d’une entreprise sont en mesure de remettre en cause les décisions de la direction générale (maison-mère), l’approche holistique développée dans ce travail part du principe qu’une organisation peut être un « être », laissant entendre ainsi que les informations dont elle dispose seraient extérieures aux individus qui la composent. Ce qui conduit à s'interroger s’il est concevable d’ignorer l’individu dans une telle relation de domination. Cette thèse propose justement un modèle autour de résultats qui montrent la difficile exclusion de l’individu dans un contexte méta-organisationnel (dans lequel les membres seraient des organisations et non des individus). Dans cette veine, ce sont les dynamiques humaines de l’organisation qui sont au cœur de ce travail : il existe par et au travers de l’individu une dynamique issue de l’activité réelle qui permet de faire vivre l’organisation par elle-même, mais également qui permet au prescrit de cette dernière d’évoluer. Bien que les résultats obtenus montrent que l’organisation n’est pas un objet mort et sans force et qu’elle a bien la possibilité de vivre par elle-même, ce sont les individus qui — par leurs engagements conditionnels — permettent cette existence propre de l’organisation comme structure intra-consciente qui impose des droits et des obligations. Dans cette perspective, le modèle proposé vise à dessiner les structures de la réalité sociale abstraite (dénommé dans la recherche menée, l’Entité X) en montrant les forces et les contraintes organisationnelles qui pèsent sur les individus-membres, tout en relevant les capacités humaines à sortir des structures prescrites par la co-construction de liens et de structures transversales de coopérations issus de l’activité réelle
Based on the idea that the subsidiaries of a company are able to call into question the decisions of senior management (the parent company), the holistic approach developed in this study assumes that an organization can be a “being”, implying thereby that the information in its possession is external to the individuals who compose it. This raises the question of whether it is conceivable to ignore the individual in such a relationship of domination. This thesis proposes a model based on the results which show the difficult exclusion of the individual in a meta-organizational context (in which members would be organizations and not individuals). Along these same lines, the organization’s human dynamics are at the heart of this research: there exists by and through the individual a dynamic resulting from actual activity that allows the organization to live by itself, while also allowing prescribe to evolve. Although the results show that the organization is not a dead and strengthless object, and it has the opportunity to live by itself, it is the individuals who —through their conditional commitments— allow the separate existence of an organizational structure’s intra-consciousness, which imposes rights and obligations. In this perspective, the proposed model aims to draw the structures of abstract social reality (referred as Entity X in this study) by showing the strengths and organizational constraints that weigh on individual members, while raising the human capacity to emerge from the structures prescribed by the sensemaking of links and transversal structures for cooperation that originate from the actual activity
