Full textAbstract:
This study examines the translation of an adventure travel guide from English to Swedish, focusing on the translation of conventional metaphors, original metaphors, metonymy and similes, with special attention to conceptual metaphors. The results show that most of the metaphors are reproduced in the target text, along with most of the metonymic segments and all similes. The findings suggest that the relatively high rate of metaphors and metonymy reproduced is due to a high degree of shared metaphorical concepts in source and target culture, whereas the decrease likely is due to an asymmetry in the preference of usage and degree of elaboration for these metaphors. The qualitative analysis shows that many conceptual metaphors fulfilled important functions in the source text, which confirms previous research that preserving the conceptual metaphors as much as possible in the translation process is essential in order to preserve all the functions of the source text. Analysis of metonymy and the personification of cities shows how the metonymic concept place for person is related to the central theme of personification and that this concept is likewise used to fulfill an important purpose of the source text, showing that metonymy is equally important to preserve in the translation process. The results of this study suggest that the choice of translation strategy in some cases is less dependent on category and more dependent on to what extent the cultural concepts that the metaphor/simile/metonymy is based on is similar/different, more/less elaborate or more/less preferred in source and target culture.

Full textAbstract:
This paper studies how cultural references and hyphenated premodifiers in an English travel guide about the Caribbean are translated into Swedish. The aim is to investigate what strategies that are used when translating cultural references, and why; as well as to see which grammatical structures that appear when translating hyphenated premodifiers from English to Swedish. The qualitative analysis focuses on how cultural references and hyphenated premodifiers are translated, the strategies/categories used, and the corresponding result. The quantitative analysis aims at summarizing what strategies or grammatical categories that are most commonly used in overcoming these translation issues. The results show that most hyphenated premodifiers are translated with another grammatical structure, namely through premodifying adjectives, without the use of hyphens. Regarding cultural references, equivalence, transference, and generalization were common strategies to convey the same content and sense to the new target readers, whereas the domesticating method together with communicative translation proved to be the most helpful methods.

Full textAbstract:
The problem addressed is the public's lack of awareness of the contributions of landscape architects and other natural resource professionals to the practices of land stewardship. One solution is a travel guide to be developed using marketing and interpretive principles. The research question is: what should be the content of the travel guide such that it would increase public awareness about landscape architecture and related natural resource professions and their role in land stewardship? The scope included research for planning the guide: it excluded collection of specific project information. A questionnaire was administered to landscape architects at two professional meetings. The major findings include which topics best explain the profession, and the types of projects that should be selected. These findings are valuable to natural resource professional societies and to publishing industry marketers, and for use in pursuing grant funding to continue the guide's development.

Full textAbstract:
Douglas Adams and Jonathan Swift are satirists who lived and worked 250 years apart. Swift's eighteenth-century text, Gulliver's Travels, tells the story of an Englishman's adventures during numerous sea voyages that bring him into contact with fantastical peoples and places. Adams's twentieth-century text, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, relates a hapless Englishman's trials and tribulations during an intergalactic voyage which takes him and his companions to bizarre destinations. This study considers key similarities and differences between the texts. Resonances between Gulliver's celestial navigation in the eighteenth century and Arthur Dent's navigation among those very heavenly bodies in the twentieth century are explored. The novels are examined for evidence of satire, the travel genre, proto science fiction and mock science fiction and for generic similarities between the works. Through a process of elimination, Gulliver's and Arthur Dent's respective journeys are abstracted, summarised and represented graphically. Communication theory and linguistic trends during the Enlightenment and the twentieth century, as well as the science and technology of each era are also briefly reviewed. This study finds that, through the exploitation of the journey as literary device which allows Gulliver and Arthur Dent to view England and Earth from different places and from different times, both Swift and Adams are able to comment on and satirise humankind. The illustrations of the journeys highlight the differences between the two novels in terms of structure and adherence to markers of time and place. Lemuel Gulliver's journeys are shown to be radial voyages with England as the core location of departures and arrivals, whereas Arthur's appear to be random and follow neither the expected and known rules of travel, nor the laws of time and space. The study furthermore considers the nature of the locations visited and finds resemblances and differences between the authors' and readers' known worlds, and the fictitious worlds described. This naturally leads to a consideration of the degree of alienation experienced by the protagonists and, indeed, humanity. Finally, the texts are examined for communication problems faced by the protagonists. The conclusion of this study suggests that in Gulliver's Travels and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy both Adams and Swift show their awareness that language is not neutral, and that it possesses the power to entertain, inform, deceive and destroy. Both texts function metonymically to highlight the perilous complexity of the human condition and show that humanity's journey through space/time in the twentieth century remains as treacherous as one by sea during the Enlightenment.Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2017.

Gullström, Sofia. "Pura Vida : A study on translation of proper nouns, figures of speech and terminology in an English travel guide about Costa Rica." Thesis, Linnéuniversitetet, Institutionen för språk (SPR), 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:lnu:diva-26412.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the difficulties that came up in the translation of an English travel guide about Costa Rica into Swedish, and what strategies may be employed in order to solve them. The focus is on how to handle proper nouns, figures of speech and terminology. In order to gather material for the study an English travel guide about Costa Rica was translated into Swedish and then some of the translation problems encountered during translation were chosen for an in-depth analysis. The analysis is mainly based on Rune Ingo’s and Peter Newmark’s theories, but other sources have also been used as a basis for the discussion. Proper nouns were mostly handled by transference of the names in their original forms into the TT as well as transference in combination with a functional or descriptive equivalent. Where appropriate, some proper nouns were translated with recognized Swedish translations or partially translated and partially transferred. Many metaphors and idioms were translated into corresponding figurative expressions found in the target language. When this was not possible, they were either translated word-for-word, provided that they still conveyed the meaning of the ST metaphor or idiom, or translated with a non-figurative expression. In order to make up for lost figurative expressions, one non-figurative expression was translated with a metaphor. Regarding terminology, terms were mostly translated with corresponding terms found in Swedish bilingual dictionaries or other resources on the Internet. However, some terms had to be transferred from the ST in their original forms or translated with less specific words, since no corresponding terms could be found in the target language. The findings show that several different strategies were used to handle translation of proper nouns, figures of speech and terminology in this specific travel guide and which strategy to use depends on situational factors.

Mestrado em Contabilidade, Fiscalidade e Finanças EmpresariaisO presente estudo tem como objetivo estudar, pela primeira vez, a relação existente entre o investimento em divulgação de sustentabilidade e o investimento em visibilidade nos media, bem como o impacto relativo de cada um destes investimentos na qualidade e na popularidade percebidas pelas organizações do setor do turismo. Assim, foram identificadas organizações presentes na Base de Dados de Divulgação de Sustentabilidade (BDDS) da Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) com atividade no setor do turismo, bem como organizações com propriedades hoteleiras classificadas como 2019 Star Awards Winners (2019SAW) pela Forbes Travel Guide (FTG), e presentes numa das vinte cidades mais visitadas no mundo em 2018. Como principais conclusões, destaca-se a confirmação da existência de uma relação concorrencial entre o investimento em divulgação de sustentabilidade e o investimento em visibilidade nos media. Os resultados mostram que as organizações optam pelo primeiro esperando uma melhoria no segundo. Inversamente, dada a escolha pelo investimento em visibilidade nos media, as organizações não sentem a necessidade de investir em divulgação de sustentabilidade. Para empresas com um nível de qualidade percebida superior, o investimento em divulgação de sustentabilidade não é uma condição causal. No que toca às empresas com um nível de popularidade percebida superior, estas continuam, na sua maioria, a resultar de um investimento em visibilidade nos media, excetuando na presença da combinação de investimento em divulgação de sustentabilidade feito por empresas cotadas.
The purpose of this investigation is to analyze, for the first time, the relationship between corporate sustainability disclosure and media visibility, as well as the relative impact of each of these investments on the quality and popularity perceived in the tourism sector. Thus, were identified organizations in the Sustainability Disclosure Database from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), active in the tourism sector, as well as organizations with hotel properties rated as 2019 Star Awards Winners (2019SAW) by Forbes Travel Guide (FTG), settled in one of the twenty most visited cities in the world in 2018. The results show that organizations choose sustainability disclosure expecting an improvement in their media visibility. When they choose to invest in media visibility, organizations don't feel the strategic need to invest in sustainability disclosure. For companies with a higher perceived quality level, investing in sustainability disclosure isn't a causal condition. For companies with a higher perceived popularity, the majority continues to result of an investment in media visibility, except in the presence of a combination of sustainability disclosure investment by listed companies.

Moroz, Nataliia. "Patrimoines, patrimonialisation, dépatrimonialisation : quelles images et quelles pratiques touristiques pour l'Ukraine ?" Thesis, Lyon, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020LYSE2030.
Full textAbstract:
L’Ukraine, objet et terrain d’études, revêt un double enjeu, à la fois scientifique et opérationnel. Ce pays qui reste encore peu attractif pour les clientèles européennes pour ses ressources touristiques et patrimoniales, souhaite embrayer afin d’améliorer son positionnement sur le marché touristique en s’inspirant des pratiques et des expertises françaises. Il y a donc dans cette recherche doctorale deux volets qui sont nécessairement articulés : un premier de connaissance et d'analyse des systèmes touristiques et patrimoniaux ukrainiens, un second de propositions – à partir des savoir-faire français - destinées à participer aux recherches ukrainiennes en la matière. Le contexte géopolitique actuel du territoire ukrainien depuis novembre 2013 et son aggravation durant la période 2014–2015 a influé sur le déroulement et les terrains pressentis mais plus encore sur le cadre des problématiques initialement posé. Celui-ci, centré sur les stratégies du secteur touristique ukrainien à partir de l’exemple de 4 territoires dont la Crimée, a été réorienté de fait vers l’étude du patrimoine culturel comme ressource touristique ukrainienne visant le développement d’un nouveau segment touristique. Pour identifier des points d’attractivité touristique en Ukraine pour les touristes étrangers et les marqueurs territoriaux nécessaires à l’établissement d’un tourisme de niche, deux approches sont mobilisées. Se donner les moyens de définir objectivement "l’image" du pays et de ses territoires pour en caractériser les éléments patrimoniaux susceptibles de concourir à une meilleure visibilité ukrainienne. Ces approches ont nécessité la délimitation pertinente et l’analyse de plusieurs corpus : guides et brochures touristiques, listes du patrimoine culturel classé, questionnaires auprès de touristes. Les changements et tensions géopolitiques en Ukraine ont singulièrement perturbé l'accès aux données : certaines d'entre elles ont totalement disparu. Il s’agit en premier lieu des statistiques touristiques de certains territoires en tension (régions de Donetsk, Luhansk, de la Crimée). De surcroît, les listes du patrimoine culturel classé ont subi des transformations suite aux lois dites de « désoviétisation », entrainant la suppression des listes patrimoniales de la période soviétique. Cette « dé-patrimonialisation » a également concerné certains monuments et objets patrimoniaux considérés comme « portant l’idéologie du régime communiste ». Finalement, cette difficulté d'accès à des sources comparables dans la durée à l'échelle nationale comme le mouvement de dépatrimonialisation officielle ont conduit à un repositionnement partiel de la problématique, anciens et nouveaux patrimoines mobilisant autrement la question de la mémoire et de l'identité ukrainiennes. L’approche diachronique utilisée dans l’explication des évolutions touristiques et patrimoniales institutionnelles a été mise en perspective sur un temps plus long. C'est ainsi que l'exploration et l'analyse des guides touristiques depuis le début du XXème siècle a permis de resituer plus largement les représentations et discours touchant au fait touristique et donc à l'identité ukrainienne par l'intermédiaire de ses patrimoines. Un travail de représentations des données – graphiques, tableaux synoptiques, cartographies – a été effectué pour mieux visualiser les éléments comparatifs, dans leurs diachronies comme dans leurs spatialisations. Il a nourri un diagnostic mettant en évidence les disparités relatives aux flux touristiques, aux marqueurs territoriaux comme aux objets patrimoniaux classés. Ces analyses induisent quelques préconisations pour la mise en place d’un tourisme de niche, centré sur l'articulation des offres touristico-patrimoniales, en fonction de données statistiques accessibles mais en conservant un souci de vigilance quant à leur fiabilitéUkraine, as an object and a field of study, has a double challenge, both scientific and operational. This country, remaining still unattractive to European customers for its tourist and heritage resources, wishes to embark on a process of improving its positioning on the tourist market by drawing inspiration from French practices and expertise. This doctoral research therefore has two necessarily interlinked components: firstly, the study and analysis of Ukrainian tourism and heritage systems, and secondly, the proposals based on French know-how, intended to participate in Ukrainian research in this field.The current geopolitical context of the Ukrainian territory since November 2013 and its worsening during the 2014–2015 period has influenced the development and the established areas, but even more in the context of the problems initially posed. That development, initially focused on the strategies of the Ukrainian tourism sector starting from the example of 4 territories including Crimea, in fact was reoriented towards the study of cultural heritage as an Ukrainian tourist resource in order to develop a new tourist segment.Two approaches are used in order to identify points of tourism attraction in Ukraine for foreign tourists and the territorial markers necessary for establishing niche tourism. The first one is to find the means to objectively define the "image" of the country and its territories; the second one is to characterize the heritage elements likely to contribute to better Ukrainian visibility. These approaches have required the relevant delimitation and analysis of several corpuses: travel guides, lists of classified cultural heritage, questionnaires among tourists.Geopolitical changes and tensions in Ukraine have significantly disrupted access to data: some of them have completely disappeared. First of all, there are the tourist statistics of certain regions in tension (Donetsk, Luhansk, Crimea regions). In addition, the lists of classified cultural heritage have undergone transformations following the so-called "de-Sovietization" laws, leading to the abolition of heritage lists from the Soviet period. This "de-patrimonialization" also concerns certain monuments and heritage objects considered as "bearing the ideology of the communist regime". Finally, this difficulty of access to sources that are comparable over time on a national scale, such as official depatrimonialisation movement, has led to a partial repositioning of the research issues, with old and new heritages mobilizing the question of memory and Ukrainian identity in a different way.The diachronic approach used in explaining the tourism and institutional heritage evolutions has been put into perspective over a longer period of time. This is how the exploration and analysis of travel guides since the beginning of the XXth century has made it possible to resituate more widely the representations and discourses relating to tourism and therefore to Ukrainian identity through its heritage.Data representation work - graphs, synoptic tables, maps – has been carried out to better visualize the comparative elements, in their diachrony as well as in their spatializations. It has contributed to a diagnosis highlighting the disparities relating to tourist flows, territorial markers as well as classified heritage objects. These analyses lead to some recommendations for the implementation of niche tourism, centered on the articulation of tourist-heritage offers, based on accessible statistical data, but with a concern for vigilance as to their reliability

Pintail is a mobile companion application for guided storytelling. To inspire and augment story creation, Pintail uses priming as a technique by showing the user what others feel or have drawn about the places s/he is visiting. These Pintail prompts are synthesized from online travel reviews and doodle books. Some prompts are displayed in an ambient manner on a second screen. Users can use the Pintail story-creation tools to remix, reflect and create their own stories. The stories created by Pintail have an analog form. They are printed on a re-purposed mobile receipt printer. They are designed to catalyze in person-conversations. Pintail tries to balance between the story creation activity and the actual travel experience. Pintail provides the users with the structure and tools for storytelling that are aware of the short attention span of today's audience.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche porte sur la collection de guides de voyage Joanne qui fut célèbre pendant plusieurs décennies avant de devenir les guides Bleus en 1919. L’enjeu est de comprendre sa généalogie, son développement et sa transformation, en prenant en considération les espaces géographiques concernés : l’Europe du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle.Ce travail s’inscrit dans une démarche pluridisciplinaire : cette recherche est principalement historique, mais contient aussi une forte dimension géographique, tout en faisant souvent appel à l’histoire de l’art, l’archéologie, la littérature et l’histoire des techniques.Dans un premier temps, comme la collection des guides Joanne n’est pas née ex-nihilo, il faut comprendre pourquoi la Librairie Hachette a racheté en 1855 des guides portant le nom de Richard. Pour cela, il faut se plonger dans l’histoire des guides Reichard nés à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Il convient ensuite de saisir la généalogie des acquisitions de guides existants qui a abouti à la création de la Bibliothèque des chemins de fer, distribuée dans les kiosques de gares. Dans un second temps, l’histoire des guides-itinéraires à la couverture bleu de Prusse est retracée, en tenant compte des évolutions techniques de l’imprimerie et en les replaçant dans leur contexte historique et concurrentiel. En effet, cette abondante production française est comparée à celle de ses homologues anglais (Murray) et allemand (Baedeker), ces derniers présentant une menace commerciale avec leurs guides en français, mais aussi une émulation. Dans un troisième temps, sont présentées les séries dérivées des guides-itinéraires qui démontrent le perpétuel souci d’adaptation des guides Joanne à leur public et aux évolutions des manières de voyager liées aux développements des transports ferroviaire et automobile avant la rupture de la Première Guerre mondiale. La mutation qui aboutit à la naissance des guides Bleus est analysée. Cette recherche est clôturée par une synthèse sur les apports de ces guides, en les inscrivant dans leur contexte historique et dans celui de la naissance du tourisme qui devint de masse au milieu du XXe siècleThis study focuses on the “Joanne” series of guidebooks that acquired popularity several decades before it was renamed “Guides Bleus” in 1919. The aim of this work is to grasp the series’ genealogy, evolution and transformation throughout the geographical regions it dealt with, mostly 19th and early 20th century Europe. This thesis falls into a multidisciplinary approach: mainly a historical research, it also makes use of Geography as well as History of Art, Archaeology, Literature and History of techniques. As the Joanne guidebooks were not created ex nihilo, this thesis first delves into the context that pushed the editor Hachette, in 1855, to buy back a tourist guidebook series that was then called “Richard”. It is thus necessary to go back to the late 18th century and the appearance of the first "Reichard" guidebooks. It then analyses the first acquisition of guidebooks that resulted in the creation of the “Bibliothèque des chemins de fer” (Railway library), distributed in the kiosks of train stations. In its second part, this study aims to reconstruct the emergence of these guidebooks famous for their “Prussian blue” covers, taking into account technical evolutions of printing and overall competition in this domain. This brings about a comparison between the French production and its British and German counterparts, Murray and Baedeker. These series pose a serious commercial threat to the French guidebooks, but also represent a source of emulation. The third part of this work introduces the reader to the various derivatives of the Joanne series. They are seen as an example of how the guidebooks were adapted to change in travel practices and to the appearance of new forms of transport, rail and automobile, before the rupture of the First World War. The thesis hence studies the shift that brought about the “Guides Bleus”. The work ends with a synthesis of the role played by these guidebooks in their historical period as well as to the birth of mass tourism in the middle of the 20th century

Pham, Tran Truc Vien. "The influence of social interactions on tourist experience and tourist satisfaction: A study of group package tours in Vietnam." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2022. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/2555.
Full textAbstract:
Owing to the nature of tourism services, in most cases tourists experience a tourism service in the presence of service personnel and fellow tourists. Scholars and practitioners have been interrogating the role of co-creation in providing tourists with a superior experience and increased tourist satisfaction. Within a group package tour (GPT), tourists appear to be active co-creators of their experience through tourist-to-tour guide interactions (TGIs) and tourist-to-tourist interactions (TTIs). TGIs and TTIs also seemingly play an important role in determining tourist satisfaction through tourist experience. However, very little research has examined the influence of TGIs and TTIs on tourist experience and tourist satisfaction.
The overall purpose of this study is to examine the influence of TGIs and TTIs on tourist experience and tourist satisfaction in GPTs. To do this, this study aims to (1) identify specific forms of TGIs and TTIs in GPTs and explore factors influencing TGIs and TTIs, (2) investigate the importance and performance of forms of TGIs and TTIs, and (3) examine how TGIs and TTIs influence tourist experience and tourist satisfaction in GPTs. The characteristics of GPTs in Vietnam provided an ideal research context for addressing these research objectives. A sequential mixed-method approach consisting of two research stages was adopted in the research design. The qualitative study involved participant observations in three GPTs and thirty-three qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted to achieve the first research objective and thus help develop the questionnaire used in the quantitative study. The quantitative study employed a questionaire survey as the main method of data collection and examined the influence of TGIs and TTIs on tourist experience and tourist satisfaction.
The qualitative study found that ten forms of TGIs and eight forms of TTIs commonly occurred in the GPTs in Vietnam. Most of the TGI forms were service-oriented interactions while most of the TTI forms were social-oriented interactions. These forms of TGIs and TTIs were allocated to the four quadrants of an importance-performance analysis matrix through an importance-performance analysis using the quantitative data, which identified managerial implications for tour operators, tour businesses and tour guides. The quantitative study found that the quality of TGIs positively influenced the four dimensions of tourist experience (i.e., learning, enjoyment, escape, aesthetics), but that the quantity of TGIs negatively influenced the four dimensions of tourist experience; both the quantity and quality of TTIs positively influenced the four dimensions of tourist experience. The quantity and quality of TGIs as well as the quantity and quality of TGIs significantly determined tourist satisfaction through the four dimensions of tourist experience.
This study (1) contributes to the literature on social interactions in tourism services by identifying forms of TGIs and TTIs and the factors influencing TGIs and TTIs in GPTs; (2) enriches and advances the literature on co-creation of tourist experience from the tourist perspective by examining the role of tourists in co-creating their experience through TGIs and TTIs and by investigating the role of social interactions in making tourist experience; and (3) provides a broader understanding of tourist satisfaction in the context of GPTs through its attempts to investigate the role of TGIs and TTIs in determining tourist satisfaction through tourist experience. The study results offer invaluable practical insights and directions for tour operators, tour guides and other tour businesses to improve relevant tourism management practices.

L'évaluation des capacités reliées au travail (ÉCT) de personnes souffrant d'une déficience physique est une pratique clinique courante en ergothérapie. Les résultats de l'ÉCT servent à déterminer l'admissibilité à des services de réadaptation, à un processus de réorientation professionnelle ou à des indemnités de remplacement de revenus. Ils peuvent aussi être utilisés dans la planification des interventions de réadaptation visant le retour au travail ou pour l'adaptation d'un poste de travail. Cependant, la pratique évaluative des cliniciens à l'égard de l'ÉCT présente une grande variabilité. Cette variabilité des pratiques amène un questionnement sur la qualité des résultats qui en sont issus. Des résultats inexacts ou incomplets peuvent avoir des impacts négatifs majeurs sur la santé et la qualité de vie des travailleurs présentant une déficience physique. Une des solutions proposées actuellement pour réduire cette variabilité et augmenter la qualité des soins de santé est l'élaboration et la dissémination de guides de pratique. Les guides de pratique consistent en des recommandations élaborées à partir des données probantes d'un domaine en particulier. Ils sont une des sources d'informations de qualité sur lesquelles les cliniciens peuvent appuyer leurs décisions cliniques. Cette étude propose d'élaborer à l'intention des ergothérapeutes, un guide de pratique pour l'ÉCT des personnes présentant une déficience physique. Il s'agit d'une recherche de développement qui a consisté en une recension systématique des écrits à partir de laquelle une première version du guide de pratique a été élaborée. Cette première version a fait l'objet d'une consultation auprès de 24 ergothérapeutes experts du domaine qui ont été répartis en quatre groupes de discussion et en deux entrevues individuelles. Les résultats révèlent que la plupart des participants sont en accord avec les recommandations issues de la recension des écrits. Bien que certaines recommandations aient dû être précisées ou complétées, les participants ont reconnu qu'elles couvraient l'ensemble du domaine. De plus, ils ont confirmé l'utilité du guide de pratique. La version finale du guide de pratique présente les concepts liés au fonctionnement au travail, situe l'ÉCT dans le processus de réadaptation puis présente 17 recommandations pour la pratique clinique. Aussi, un résumé du processus d'élaboration du guide et la signification des niveaux de preuve scientifiques complète le document. Le guide de pratique a été publié en 2011 et peut être téléchargé gratuitement en version PDF au www.irsst.qc.ca.

Cette thèse s’intéresse à la résolution de problèmes d’optimisation non-différentiable de grandes tailles résultant le plus souvent d’une relaxation Lagrangienne d’un problème difficile. Cette technique est couramment utilisée pour appréhender des problèmes linéaires avec nombres entiers ou des problèmes convexes complexes. Le problème dual obtenu est non-différentiable -éventuellement séparable- et peut être résolu par un algorithme de faisceau. Le chapitre 2 propose une revue de littérature des méthodes d’optimisation non-différentiable. Dans certaines situations, le problème dual peu être lui-même très difficile à résoudre et nécessiter des stratégies adaptées. Par exemple, lorsque le nombre de contraintes dualisées est très élevé, une dualisation explicite peut s’avérer impossible ou la mise à jour des variables duales peut échouer. Au chapitre 3, nous étudions les propriétés de convergence lorsqu’une relaxation Lagrangienne dynamique est effectuée : seul un sous-ensemble de contraintes est dualisé à chaque itération, ce qui permet de réduire la dimension du problème dual. Une autre limite de relaxation Lagrangienne peut apparaître lorsque la fonction duale est séparable en un grand nombre de sous-fonctions, ou que celles-ci restent difficiles à évaluer. Une stratégie naturelle consiste alors à tirer partie de la lecture séparable en effectuant des itérations duales en n’ayant évalué qu’un sous-ensemble des sous-fonctions. Au chapitre 4, nous proposons d’utiliser une méthode de faisceau dans ce contexte incrémental. Enfin, le chapitre 5 présente des applications numériques sur des problèmes de gestion de production d’électricité.

Full textAbstract:
Les entreprises se doivent de respecter le cadre juridique en matière de santé et sécurité au travail. Ce cadre, même s’il est fondé sur une logique de prévention des risques professionnels, est du fait de sa complexité, difficile à maîtriser pour un employeur.La première étape de notre travail de recherche a été de révéler ce cadre juridique en le décortiquant, en en expliquant les subtilités et en le confrontant à la réalité du terrain. De plus, dans de nombreux cas, les employeurs ne découvrent le cadre juridique qu’au moment de l’engagement de leur responsabilité. Nous avons alors réfléchi à comment proposer aux employeurs des solutions effectives afin de les aider à mieux le respecter et par la même, à développer la prévention des risques professionnels au bénéfice des travailleurs.Ainsi, la seconde étape de notre travail de recherche a consisté à mettre à disposition des employeurs un guide de bonnes pratiques composé de deux types d’éléments : Une sélection après analyse, des solutions mises en œuvre par la négociation collective, pouvant avoir un effet réel et tangible en matière de prévention des risques professionnels et ainsi correspondre au critère d’effectivité posé par la jurisprudence, Des dispositifs leur permettant d’autoévaluer leur niveau de respect des obligations générales ainsi que particulières en matière de santé et sécurité au travail et de les satisfaire à l’aide de fiches de mise en conformitéCompanies must respect the legal framework in terms of health and safety at work. This framework, even if it is based on a logic of prevention of professional risks, is due to its complexity, difficult to master for an employer. The first step in our research work was to reveal this legal framework by dissecting it, explaining its subtleties and confronting it with the reality on the ground. In addition, in many cases employers do not learn about the legal framework until they take responsibility. We then thought about how to offer employers effective solutions in order to help them to respect it better and at the same time, to develop the prevention of professional risks for the benefit of workers. Thus, the second stage of our research work consisted in making available to employers a guide to good practice made up of two types of elements: A selection after analysis, of the solutions implemented by collective bargaining, which can have a real and tangible effect in terms of prevention of professional risks and thus correspond to the effectiveness criterion set by case law, Devices allowing them to self-assess their level of compliance with general as well as specific obligations in terms of health and safety at work and to satisfy them with the help of compliance sheets

Full textAbstract:
La chute des murs et la mondialisation ont engagé de nouveaux pays à s’ouvrir au développement de leur secteur touristique. Au cœur des Balkans, l’Albanie, un pays ex-communiste, peu connue, voire totalement méconnue, représente à la fois une destination et un objet de recherche en angle mort en sciences sociales, un territoire laboratoire singulièrement stimulant pour rendre compte des modalités d’une « (re) mise en tourisme » dans un contexte d’économie de marché éminemment concurrentiel et ce, dans le plus vieux bassin touristique du monde. Ayant connue aux XIXème-XXème siècles ses voyages de découvertes et d’explorations, ses modernités touristiques avant la clôture de l’ère d’Enver Hoxha (1944-1991) interrompant l’évolution touristique, qu’ont en revanche ont connu ses voisins, l’Albanie sera confrontée à ses propres faiblesses en matière du développement touristique au XXIème siècle. Cette recherche vise à explorer l’épaisseur historique des pratiques touristiques - dans les contextes politiques successifs, permettant de pister depuis le XIXème siècle les éléments constitutifs qui ont progressivement fabriqué les lieux, les images et les discours d’une « Albanie touristique », constituant la matière d’une offre touristique aujourd’hui mobilisée par une pluralité d’acteurs et de ministères du Tourisme. S’appuyant sur une approche privilégiant un plan chronologique diachronique à travers des continuités et des perdurations du discours, ce travail dévoile la construction des premières représentations des voyageurs en Albanie au début du XIXème siècle, afin de dévoiler l’image et la communication touristique albanaise à la fois ancienne et contemporaine, s’appuyant sur une analyse textuelle et iconographique des guides touristiques et d’autres supports de communication. Tandis qu’une analyse quantitative par questionnaire mobilisant des images et des lieux permet de connaitre les représentations et les pratiques touristiques de la jeunesse albanaise au XXIème siècle, mettant l’accent sur des spécificités à travers un processus de construction et d’inversion des valeursThe fall of walls and globalization have appointed new countries to open to the development of their tourism sector. At the heart of the Balkans, Albania, a former communist country, little known, even completely unknown, present both a destination and a blind spot in social sciences topic researches, a singularly challenging laboratory territory in terms of "(re) development of tourism" in a highly competitive market economy context and, this one, in the oldest tourist area in the world. Knowing during the 19-20th centuries her discovery and exploration travels, her tourist modernity’s before the Enver Hoxha’s era (1944-1991), which interrupted tourist development, that however have experienced its neighbors, Albania will face to his own weaknesses in terms of tourism development in the 21th century. This research aims to explore the historical density tourism practices - in successive political systems, to track since the nineteenth century the elements that have gradually created places, images and discourses of a "touristic Albania", constituting the material of a tourist offer, mobilized today by a plurality of actors and tourism ministries. Based on an approach considering a chronological diachronic approach through continuities and loss of discourse, this research reveals the construction of the first representations of travelers to Albania in the early 19th century, in order to present the image and Albanian tourism communication, both ancient and contemporary, based on a textual and iconographic analysis of tourist guides and new communication media. Representations and tourism practices of the Albanian youth in the 21th century, mobilized in a quantitative analysis by questionnaire focused in characteristics and construction through a process of the inversion of values

Esta dissertação examina sob a ótica da sustentabilidade as relações entre a cultura e o turismo no Centro Histórico de Salvador- CHS. Foi realizada com o método qualitativo, usando instrumentos de observação participante no estudo de caso: roteiro turístico do CHS. Complementadas com entrevistas com os representantes de segmentos do CHS como agentes e guias de turismo e os fóruns oficiais e privados da cultura e do turismo. A pesquisa analisa os elementos dessa relação, as implicações e as demais interações com o cenário levando em conta as dimensões do ambiente ecológico, social e o econômico. As quais condicionam o turismo e são compreendidas como bases do cenário cultural. No resultado dessa investigação destacam-se: primeiro, que o discurso constante nas políticas públicas não inclui em seu bojo a percepção sistêmica da atividade de roteiro turístico, e nem como elemento estratégico. Para o governo do Estado o roteiro é uma construção com dimensão unicamente privada e, por isso, não tem escopo no planejamento. Essa ausência impede o estabelecimento de parâmetros de sustentabilidade para a relação sistêmica da cultura e turismo. Em segundo, o Pelourinho é consumido como espaço simbólico da cultura negra e indígena e, nisso está presente tanto a gloriosidade quanto a contradição. A imagem que o senso comum tem do CHS é de ser um lugar não periférico e, por isso guarda e valoriza a cultura afro-descendente e a indígenas miscigenadas como bens globalizados. Os quais são decorrentes da trajetória de exclusão do sofrimento e da luta desses povos e, hoje alcançaram vínculos em diversos horizontes. E essa marca foi reforçada recentemente, em nome do desenvolvimento advindo do turismo, que manteve essa população ausente dos benefícios da revitalização do CHS. Nessa relação, o roteiro do CHS passeia no Pelourinho como um lugar dinamizado pelo acaso social que lhe ressignificou e, se somaram as ordens e edificações religiosas já presentes. Terceiro, o turismo ainda não flui como sistema e, suas relações com o ambiente são fragmentadas, míopes e se conduzem sem gestão sistêmica necessárias para atingir os resultados no turismo. As ações nessa esfera são políticas públicas para produções culturais a serviço da imagem mercadológica da cidade, como destino ideal com vistas a ações de desenvolvimento estratégico para o Estado. Essa realidade tem sido incapaz de estabelecer bases de sustentabilidade para as ações individuais e coletivas na relação cultura e turismo. E por último, as imagens dessa relação estão servindo mais como barreira para a contemplação dos bens simbólicos do que para a sua valorização e desenvolvimento. O cenário mostra um ambiente social frágil que induz o turista a não voltar para dar continuidade ao consumo de contemplar o patrimônio turístico do CHS. Essa pesquisa dá alguns indícios do processo de redução cronico nas possibilidades de produzir recursos e meios para criar o desenvolvimento sustentável dos bens turísticos de CHS.

Full textAbstract:
Sous le titre Séville dans les guides de voyage français et espagnols (XIX-XXe siècles), la thèse se propose d'analyser l'image de la capitale andalouse dans un corpus générique peu étudié, celui des guides de voyage, depuis leur émergence moderne jusqu'à l'avènement du tourisme de masse. La première partie de la thèse s’attache à analyser comment les relations politiques et culturelles franco-espagnoles ont façonné une ou des images de l'Espagne qui varient au cours de la période étudiée, de la « légende noire » (1700-1823) à la « légende rose » (1905-1962) en passant par la « légende rouge » (1823-1905), période à laquelle s’affirme le genre du guide de voyage. La deuxième partie montrera qu’en tant que vecteurs de diverses représentations temporelles, spatiales, historiques, artistiques, sociales, humaines, les guides sont des sources idéales pour l’histoire culturelle. Contrairement aux idées reçues, il n’existe pas de modèle unique de guide : nous en proposerons une classification. Enfin, la richesse du corpus exploré permet de montrer, dans une troisième partie, que les diverses formes que le guide adopte agissent sur la perception de la réalité et sur les représentations, en s'appropriant certains concepts tels que le pittoresque ou l'exotisme, et surtout en reprenant ou en réfutant les images stéréotypées d'une Espagne « fanfare et tambourin », selon l'expression du poète Antonio Machado. À ce double titre, l'examen des regards croisés que véhiculent les guides constitue une approche nouvelle de la question des relations entre la France et l'Espagne, en même temps qu'un point de départ fécond pour aborder la construction d’un discours sur le couple notionnel identité / altérité. La thèse s’intéresse à ces concepts par le biais de l’étude du patrimoine bâti et vivant, des relations entre l’auteur du guide et son lecteur ainsi qu’au travers de la lecture de l’Histoire dans le corpus convoqué. Mots clés : Histoire culturelle, Espagne, XIXe et XXe siècles, voyage, tourisme, guide de voyage, Séville, stéréotype, imageEntitled Séville dans les guides de voyage français et espagnols (XIX-XXe siècles) [Seville in French and Spanish Travel Guides (XIXth-XXth centuries)], this dissertation intends to analyze the image of the Andalusian capital in the barely studied corpus of travel guides, from their emergence in the modern times until the dawn of mass tourism. The first part is meant to study how Franco-Spanish political and cultural relations shaped one—or more—picture(s) of Spain that varied from the “Black Legend” (1700-1823) to the “Red Legend” (1823-1905)—when travel guides were established as a genre—to the “Pink Legend” (1905-1962). The second part shows that guides, as vehicles of various temporal, spatial, historical, artistic, social and human representations, are ideal sources for cultural historians. Contrary to common beliefs, there is no single pattern for travel guides and this work intends to classify them. In the third part, the richness of the sources enables us to show that by appropriating such concepts as the picturesque or the exotic for example, but mostly by taking up or refuting stereotypes such as that of Spain as all “fanfare and tambourine”—in poet Antonio Machado’s words—, the varied forms adopted by guides have an influence on our perception of reality and on our representations. Thus the examination of the intersecting perspectives provided by guides constitutes a new approach to the relations between France and Spain and a fruitful starting point to tackle the construction of a discourse on the dialectics of identity and alterity. These concepts are explored through the study of built and living heritages, of the relations between the guides’ authors and their readers but also through the reading of History in the studied corpus.Key words: Cultural history, Spain, XIXth and XXth centuries, travel, tourism, travel guide, Seville, stereotypes, image
Bajo el título Sevilla en las guías de viaje francesas y españolas (siglos XIX-XX), la tesis propone analizar la imagen de la capital de Andalucía en el corpus genérico poco estudiado de las guías de viaje, desde su emergencia moderna hasta el advenimiento del turismo de masas. La primera parte de la tesis muestra como las relaciones políticas y culturales franco-españolas crearon una o varias imágenes de España que variaron a lo largo del periodo estudiado, desde la « leyenda negra » (1700-1823) hasta la « leyenda rosa » (1905-1962), pasando por la « leyenda roja » (1823-1905), periodo durante el cual el género de la guía de viaje se afirma. La segunda parte considerará las guías como unas fuentes ideales para la historia cultural ya que se pueden apreciar como vectores de diversas representaciones temporales, espaciales, históricas, artísticas, sociales, humanas. En efecto, a pesar de las ideas preconcebidas al respecto, no existe un único modelo de guía: podemos establecer una clasificación. Por fin, la riqueza del corpus estudiado permite mostrar, en una tercera parte, que las diferentes formas que la guía puede adoptar actúan sobre la percepción de la realidad y sobre las representaciones, apropiándose conceptos como lo pintoresco y lo exótico, y sobre todo utilizando o desmintiendo las imágenes estereotipadas de una España « de charanga y pandereta », según la expresión del poeta Antonio Machado. Por este doble motivo, el examen de las miradas cruzadas constituye un acercamiento nuevo para explicar las relaciones entre Francia y España, y a la vez un punto de partida fecundo para abordar la construcción de un discurso acerca de la pareja nocional identidad/alteridad. Estos conceptos reivindican su presencia en la tesis mediante el tratamiento del patrimonio arquitectural y vivo, la relación entre autor y lector de guía, así como mediante la lectura de la Historia en nuestro corpus

Full textAbstract:
On considère volontiers que la légende est un objet que se partagent les communautés " extra-modernes ". Traditionnelle, elle est donc lointaine dans le temps et/ou dans l'espace. C'est cette légende qu'étudient, par exemple, les anthropologues. Une autre alternative consiste à penser que la légende est, au contraire, très proche de notre " modernité ". Elle est alors urbaine ou contemporaine, n'est plus vraiment une légende mais une rumeur et s'impose comme le terrain privilégié des " rumorologues ". Traditionnelle, elle se manifeste ainsi dans un ailleurs de la modernité urbaine ; moderne, elle s'y incarne, mais n'est plus traditionnelle. En somme, on refuse à la légende, en tant qu'objet traditionnel, une opérativité socioculturelle à l'intérieur de nos propres sociétés. Or, si les guides les médiatisent, c'est bien qu'elle possède cette opérativité. Toute la question est de savoir comment la définir. À partir d'analyses sémiotiques menées sur un corpus de guides généralistes présentant New York et l'Écosse (Le Routard, les guides Bleu, Vert et Voir, le Lonely Planet, le Petit Futé et la Bibliothèque du voyageur) mais aussi de guides " spécialisés " (Guide du Paris mystérieux, Le Guide de la France mythologique et les Sites mystérieux et légendaires de nos provinces françaises), cette étude qui défend une approche communicationnelle se propose d'aborder le légendaire - à savoir les légendes et la façon dont elles sont commentées par les guides - comme un objet de discours capable d'instituer un certain rapport à la culture qui serait de l'ordre de la curiosité ou de l'insolite. La première partie met ainsi en évidence le fait que le légendaire se manifeste comme un objet anecdotique dans les guides de voyage. Ceux-ci disent, en effet, le caractère extraordinaire du référent légendaire tout en postulant et/ou en instituant, cependant, son insignifiance du point de vue culturel. Anecdotique, le légendaire est, en outre, insaisissable. C'est ce que montre la seconde partie en se concentrant sur la façon dont les guides font des énoncés légendaires des objets proprement inclassables : curieux, ils disent l'étrangeté de l'ordre du monde ; insolites, ils ne disent rien de plus que leur incongruité. S'il est à la fois anecdotique et insaisissable, comment se fait-il que le légendaire fasse pourtant culture ? La troisième partie répond à cette question en montrant que c'est précisément parce qu'il se définit comme tel qu'il fait culture. Ainsi, le légendaire est un objet de discours qui permet, à celui qui le dit, de se manifester dans le monde social à travers une forme d'auctorialité définie par une désinvolture à l'égard des hiérarchies de valeurs traditionnelles. Par ailleurs, elle montre qu'il est un objet de discours qui se livre au lecteur/voyageur dans le but d'être réitéré. Autrement dit, le légendaire circule, à partir de ces dispositifs touristiques que sont les guides, en proposant à ceux qui se l'approprieraient de renverser ou de détourner l'ordre culturel ; d'habiter le monde en tant qu'il est social, le temps infime de l'énonciation légendaire

Full textAbstract:
Les tubes gaine et tubes guide réalisés en alliage de zirconium et utilisés dans les réacteurs à eau pressurisée constituent des éléments de structures essentiels de ce type de réacteur. Soumis à de multiples sollicitations (irradiation, corrosion, hydruration…), ils subissent aussi des contraintes mécaniques multiaxées à une température d'environ 320 °C, ce qui induit du fluage thermique. Cette thèse a pour but d'étudier l'influence de trois paramètres sur le comportement en fluage d'alliages de zirconium qui sont fortement anisotropes : le trajet de chargement, l'état métallurgique et la composition chimique. Compte tenu de la géométrie particulière de ces tubes mais surtout de la multiaxialité des chargements en service (pression interne qui augmente, contrainte axiale…), la première partie de la thèse a consisté en la mise au point d'un dispositif de fluage adapté. Celui-ci a été testé et validé en réalisant des essais sur Zircaloy 4 détendu. La suite de l'étude a été menée à une température fixe, 400 °C, en réalisant des essais pour déterminer deux courbes iso-vitesses de fluage (5 10-9 et 3,510-8 s-1) pour chacun des matériaux testés. La comparaison entre les résultats obtenus sur le Zircaloy 4 détendu et recristallisé a permis de déterminer les effets de l'état métallurgique sur le fluage dans cette gamme de vitesses. L'alliage de référence (M5®) nous a permis de montrer, qu'à cette température, pour cette gamme de contraintes, l'ordre des étapes de mise en charge ne semblait pas avoir d'influence sur le comportement en fluage. Les effets de l'oxygène, de l'étain et du fer ont pu être étudiés grâce à 5 autres alliages (M5® haut et bas oxygène, quaternaires Q12, Q32 et Q42). Enfin, à l'aide du logiciel Sidolo, en utilisant d'une part la base expérimentale sur le M5® et d'autre part celle sur le Zircaloy 4 recristallisé, deux modélisations macroscopiques ont été ajustées sur les résultats expérimentaux. La première utilise un critère de Von Mises (isotrope), la seconde un critère de Hill plus adapté pour les matériaux anisotropes. Aucun de ces deux modèles ne parvient à rendre compte de la forte anisotropie du comportement de fluage à 400°C en particulier pour des valeurs de σZZ / σθθ entre 0,5 et 1Fuel rods and cladding tubes in zirconium are essential structural parts of Pressurized Water Reactors. There are submitted in service to aggressive environment (vapour at ~320°C, 155 bars, and irradiation) and to multiaxial mechanical loadings leading to thermal creep which has to be quantified. The present work aims to determine the effects of 3 parameters on the mechanical behaviour of different zirconium alloys: the loading path, the metallurgical state (stress-relieved, recrystallized) and the chemical composition. The first step to take was to develop a new device adapted to different geometries of tubes, and to validate it by comparing experimental results obtained upon the stress-relieved Zircaloy 4 to bibliographical results. Second, a large database has been constituted on the M5® in order to highlight the effects of an overloading or of cycling on the circumferential stress, and of the loading path (application of the axial then the circumferential stress, or the contrary or proportional loading). Then by comparing the behaviour of the recrystallized and the stress-relieved Zircaloys 4, the effects of the metallurgical state on this hexagonal alloy on the creep behaviour have also been studied. Lastly, the effects of oxygen, stain and iron have been quantified due to 5 other alloys (M5® low and high oxygen, Q12, Q32 and Q42).

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se rapporte au français langue étrangère à objectifs spécifiques dans le cas du métier de guide touristique. Son objet est la présentation d’un didacticiel visant à former à ce métier - en leur apportant une assistance informatique - des apprenants de français souhaitant devenir guides locaux pour l’accueil des touristes francophones, puis son expérimentation sur de tels apprenants. Il a été testé auprès des étudiants de l’université de Mahasarakham selon le critère standard 80/80 en comparant leur acquisition des connaissances avec son utilisation. Leurs comportements vis-à-vis de son utilisation et leurs jugements sur cette expérience ont été relevés et analysés. Ce didacticiel a été expérimenté en plusieurs étapes. En ce qui concerne son efficacité, le résultat montre qu’elle est de 80,80/84,75, ce qui est supérieur au critère statistique standard déterminé de 80/80. La moyenne des notes obtenues avant et après l’expérimentation est significativement différente au seuil de p. 01. L’attitude des étudiants envers l’apprentissage de ce didacticiel a été favorable. Ces résultats montrent que ce didacticiel de français pour le métier de guide touristique est efficace. Il permettra d’enrichir la compétence linguistique des étudiants thaïlandais inscrits à l’université de Mahasarakham en Thaïlande et pourrait être une des bases de ressources alternatives à objectifs spécifiques assisté par ordinateur facilitant la formation langagière et professionnelle. Il est accessible non seulement aux apprenants désirant améliorer leurs connaissances dans ce domaine mais aussi aux enseignants souhaitant découvrir le support afin de favoriser leur propre l’enseignement et l’apprentissage individuel adapté au rythme de chacun. Plus largement, il ouvre sur une nouvelle conception de l’enseignement/apprentissage centrée sur l’apprenantThe thesis refers to French as a foreign language with specific objectives, in the case of the profession of tourist guide. Its purpose is the presentation of an educational software program aimed at training learners of French wishing to become local guides for francophone tourists – and providing computer assistance to do so. A second purpose is to experiment such a software program. It had been tested with Mahasarakham University students according to the standard criterion 80/80 by comparing their acquisition of knowledge with its use. Their attitudes towards using this software, as well as their assessments, were identified and analyzed. This software was tested in several stages. Its efficiency was graded 80. 80/84. 75, which is higher than the standard statistical criterion determined by 80/80. The average of the grades obtained before and after testing is significantly different at the p. 01 threshold. The attitude of students towards this educational software program has been positive. Such results show that this software program of French for tourist guides is fully effective. It will enrich the linguistic abilities of Thai students in the Mahasarakham University in Thailand. It could be a computer – based alternative resource facilitating language and vocational training programs with specific objectives. It is accessible not only to learners who wish to improve their knowledge in this area, but also to teachers wishing to discover an outstanding support tool to their own teaching, adapted to the pace of each individual learner. More broadly, it opens on a new conception of learning and teaching focused on the learners

Full textAbstract:
Introduction : À la suite d’une absence du travail en raison d’un trouble musculosquelettique (TMS), plusieurs travailleurs font un retour progressif au travail (RPAT). Cette pratique comporte plusieurs avantages, mais pose également des défis dans sa mise en application pour les entreprises. L’objectif de l’étude était d’offrir un outil adapté aux employeurs pour les soutenir dans la gestion des RPAT d’individus s’étant absentés en raison d’un TMS. L’étude poursuivait deux objectifs : 1) adapter un outil existant destiné aux professionnels de la réadaptation (Guide d’évaluation de la marge de manœuvre [MM]) et 2) en établir son acceptabilité auprès des utilisateurs potentiels (UP).
Méthode : Un devis multiméthode a été utilisé et s’est actualisé en trois étapes. 1) La première étape consistait à adapter l’outil original en regard des résultats d’une revue critique de la littérature portant sur les caractéristiques favorisant l’adoption des guides par les UP. 2) La deuxième étape était de consulter un groupe d’experts en réadaptation au travail, familier avec le guide original et collaborant avec les UP, à l’aide d’une adaptation de la technique de recherche de l'information par l'animation d'un groupe d'experts (TRIAGE). Cette consultation s’est faite en deux phases : un sondage à compléter individuellement et une rencontre de groupe de consensus. Pour le sondage, un questionnaire auto-administré a été utilisé, avant la rencontre de groupe, pour établir le niveau d’accord des experts avec la pertinence, l’exhaustivité, la clarté, l’apparence visuelle et la convivialité de la première version de l’outil adapté. Des propositions ont été faites par les experts pour les énoncés ayant obtenu un score d’accord de deux ou moins et ont été traitées dans une rencontre de groupe, jusqu’à l’obtention d’un consensus sur les modifications à apporter. 3) La troisième étape visait à établir l’acceptabilité de la dernière version de l’outil adapté auprès des UP. Pour ce faire, des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été réalisées auprès de dyades composées de coordonnateurs de retour au travail et de supérieurs immédiats d’une même entreprise. Une analyse thématique du verbatim des entrevues a été réalisée.
Résultats : 1) À partir de 13 publications, quatre grandes caractéristiques (clarté, format, applicabilité et utilité) ont été relevées de la revue critique. 2) Neuf ergothérapeutes (huit femmes et un homme, expérience moyenne de 12,17 ans) sont ensuite arrivés à un consensus de 20 modifications portant sur trois sections de l’outil adapté qui a mené à une deuxième version comportant un guide d’instructions de 22 pages et une grille de planification recto-verso. 3) Les 15 UP consultés (neuf femmes et six hommes provenant principalement de grandes entreprises de secteurs variés) ont globalement jugé l’outil acceptable. Ils ont reconnu, notamment, qu’il permettait d’opérationnaliser les bonnes pratiques de retour au travail, de standardiser la gestion des RPAT et d’inclure plus systématiquement le travailleur dans la démarche. Ils ont également identifié quelques changements mineurs à apporter, dont l’ajout de recommandations concernant la préparation des collègues et celui d’avoir un format plus court.
Conclusion : Par l’adaptation du guide d’évaluation de la MM, cette étude a permis d’offrir un outil destiné et adapté aux employeurs, en tenant compte à la fois des données probantes et d’un consensus d’experts, ce qui semble avoir contribué à son acceptabilité par les UP. L’outil adapté comble un réel besoin au sein des entreprises et des études supplémentaires pourraient être menées pour améliorer son format et créer une version transdiagnostique.Abstract: Purpose: To facilitate a return to work for workers being on a sick leave following a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD), many physicians prescribe a gradual return to work (GRTW), which poses numerous challenges for workplaces. The aim of this study was to provide employers with an adapted tool to support them in managing GRTWs following a MSD. The study had two objectives: 1) adapt an existing tool intended for rehabilitation professionals (Guide for estimation of margin of manoeuvre) and 2) establish the acceptability of the adapted tool with potential users (PUs). Methods: A mixed methods design was used and carried out in three phases. 1) The first step was to adapt the original tool by taking into account the results of a critical review of the literature on the characteristics fostering PU’s adoption of guides. 2) The second step was to consult a group of expert practitioners familiar with the original guide and who worked with the PUs, using an adaptation of the Technique for Research of Information by Animation of a Group of Experts (TRIAGE). This consultation was done in two phases: a survey to be completed individually, and a consensus group meeting. For the survey, a self-administered questionnaire was used, prior to the group meeting, to establish the level of agreement of the experts with the pertinence, exhaustiveness, clarity, visual appeal and user-friendliness of the first version of the adapted tool. The proposals made regarding statements that obtained mean agreement scores of two or less were then addressed in a group meeting, until consensus was reached on the changes to be made. 3) The third step was to establish the acceptability of the latest version of the adapted tool with the PUs. To do so, dyads composed of a return-to-work coordinator and a direct supervisor from the same company were interviewed, using a semi-structured interview guide. A thematic analysis of the verbatim transcript was performed. Results: 1) From 13 publications, four main characteristics (clarity, format, applicability, and usefulness) were identified from the critical review. 2) Nine occupational therapists expert (eight women and one man, mean experience of 12.17 years) reached a consensus on 20 modifications covering three sections, which yielded a second version of the adapted tool comprising a 22-pages instruction guide and a two-sided planning worksheet. 3) The 15 PUs consulted (nine women and six men mainly from large companies from various sectors) found the tool acceptable overall. They recognized that the developed tool allowed them to standardize the management of the GRTW, include the worker more systematically in the process, and operationalize the best return-to-work practices. They also identified a few minor changes to make, including recommendations for preparing colleagues and shortening the format. Conclusion: By adapting the Guide for estimation of margin of manoeuvre, this study provided a tool that was designed and adapted to employers, taking into account both evidence-based data and expert consensus, which seems to have contributed to its acceptability by PUs. The adapted tool fills a real need within companies and further studies could be carried out to improve its format and create a transdiagnostic version.

«Thèse en cotutelle, Doctorat en physique, Université Laval, Québec, Canada, Philosophiæ doctor (Ph. D.) et Université de Bordeaux, Talence, France»L’infrarouge moyen présente un grand intérêt pour de nombreuses applications dans des domaines variés comme la médecine, la biologie, l’environnement ou encore l’astronomie. Il y a donc un besoin de sources et de dispositifs fonctionnant dans cette bande de longueur d’onde s’étendant approximativement de 2 à 20 µm. L’élaboration de ces dispositifs passe par le développement de matériaux transparents dans l’infrarouge moyen puis par la fonctionnalisation optique de ces matériaux. Dans le cadre de cette thèse de doctorat, nous nous proposons d’étudier la fabrication de composants dans un verre d’oxyde de métaux lourds (baryum, gallium, germanium : BGG), dont l’intérêt est la combinaison d’une bonne transmission jusque dans l’IR moyen (de ~350 nm à ~5 µm) et de bonnes résistances mécanique et chimique. La technique utilisée pour la fonctionnalisation optique de ce verre est l’inscription directe par impulsions ultra courtes. Cette dernière permet de modifier localement – et de manière permanente – un matériau par la focalisation d’impulsions d’une durée de l’ordre de quelques dizaines ou centaines de femto secondes, générant des intensités lumineuses très importantes et permettant l’absorption non-linéaire d’une partie de l’énergie du faisceau laser. Le caractère non linéaire de l’interaction permet l’inscription de structures tridimensionnelles dans le volume du matériau. Grâce à cette technique, on peut notamment fabriquer des guides d’onde, des canaux de microfluidique et des motifs fluorescents pour ne citer que quelques exemples. Nous rapportons dans cette thèse une étude détaillée de l’inscription par laser femtoseconde dans différents types de verres BGG. Nous montrons qu’il est possible d’avoir un changement d’indice positif élevé, permettant la formation de composants à base de guides d’onde pour l’IR moyen. En particulier, nous présentons des résultats de mesures sur des guides d’onde et des coupleurs dans l’IR moyen, inscrits dans un verre BGG et dans la silice. Un autre type verre, dérivé des BGG et dopé en ions argents, est également étudié dans le cadre de l’inscription par laser femtoseconde. Comme il a été observé dans d’autres types de verres d’oxydes, les ions argent modifient l’interaction laser matière et apportent des propriétés spécifiques à l’argent : fluorescence, génération de seconde harmonique et résonance de plasmons de surface.
The mid-infrared region is of great interest for many applications in various fields such as medicine, biology, environment and astronomy. Therefore, there is a need for developing sources and devices operating in this wavelength region, spanning approximately from 2 to20 µm. The development of these devices involves the development of mid-IR transparent materials and then the optical functionalization of these materials. In the framework of this PhD thesis, we propose to study the fabrication of components in glass of heavy metaloxides (barium, gallium, germanium: BGG), whose interest is the combination of a good transmission (from ~350 nm to ~5 µm) and good mechanical and chemical resistances. The technique used for the optical functionalization of this glass is direct inscription by ultra-short pulses. This technique allows a local and permanent modification of a material by focusing pulses of a duration of a few tens or hundreds of femtoseconds, generating very high light intensities and allowing the non-linear absorption of the laser beam energy. The non-linear nature of the interaction allows the inscription of three-dimensional structures in the bulk. Thanks to this technique, we can produce waveguides, microfluidic channels and fluorescent patterns, to name but a few examples. In this thesis, we report a detailed study of femtosecond laser inscription in different types of BGG glasses. We show that it is possible to have a high positive index change, allowing the formation of waveguide-based components for mid-IR. In particular, we present measurements results on waveguides and couplers in the mid-IR, embedded in BGG glass and fused silica. Another type of glass derived from BGG and doped with silver ions is also studied with the femtosecond laser inscription. As observed in other types of oxide glasses, silver ions modify the laser-matter interaction and provide silver-specific properties such as fluorescence, second harmonic generation and surface plasmons resonance.

La lombalgie est un problème majeur de santé publique et de santé au travail dans les pays industrialisés. La chronicité de la lombalgie et l’incapacité qui en découle sont potentiellement sources d’altération de la qualité de vie, de rupture des parcours professionnels, voire de désinsertion socioprofessionnelle. La première partie de ce travail situe la problématique de la pathologie rachidienne en lien avec l’activité professionnelle et de sa reconnaissance sociale. L’évolution vers la chronicité de la lombalgie ainsi que la restriction de participation sociale et professionnelle s’inscrivent dans un modèle dynamique faisant intervenir des facteurs liés à l’individu, au système de soins et de prévention, au travail, et au système de compensation financière. La nécessité de l’intégration de tous ces éléments pour la prise en charge médicale et la surveillance médico-professionnelle des travailleurs lombalgiques est développée à travers l’exposé des recommandations de bonne pratique. Les recommandations pour la visite de pré-reprise soulignent notamment l’intérêt de la coordination des acteurs médicaux, sociaux et du travail pour le retour/maintien en emploi et la lutte contre la désinsertion professionnelle des travailleurs lombalgiques. Enfin, les stratégies proposées aux travailleurs lombalgiques qui ont montré leur efficacité associent un réentraînement physique intensif, une approche cognitivo-comportementale, une action en milieu de travail et la coordination des acteurs du retour au travail. Cependant, la mise en place de ces interventions complexes présente un certain nombre de limites et notre équipe tente de développer des stratégies hiérarchisées et plus largement applicablesLow back pain is a major public and occupational health issue in industrialized countries. Chronic low back pain and resulting disability are potential sources of impaired quality of life, breaking career and even socio-professional exclusion. The first part of this work places the issue of the back intervertebral disc disease related to work and its social recognition.The low back pain chronicity and the social and professional restriction of participation are part of a dynamic model involving factors related to the individual, to the prevention and care system, to work, and to the financial compensation system. The need for integration of all these elements for medical care, prevention and medical and occupational surveillance of low back pain workers is developed through the presentation of recommendations for good practice. Recommendations for pre-return-to-work medical examination especially emphasize the benefit of coordinating medical, social and occupational actors for the return to / retention at work and the fight against occupational exclusion of low back pain workers. Finally, the offered to low back pain workers strategies which have shown their effectiveness in reducing the duration of sick leave combine an intensive physical rehabilitation, a cognitive-behavioral approach, a workplace intervention and the coordination of return to work actors. However, the implementation of these complex interventions has a great number of limitations

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2001.Includes bibliographical references (p. 361-395).
Starting from the premise that maps are essentially about visualizing space, this dissertation examines what the Ottoman maps of Istanbul reveal about the city's perception, as it evolved in connection to urban development after the conquest. The maps that form the subject of this study appear as illustrations in three manuscript books. The Istanbul maps contained in Mecmu'-i Menazil (1537-8) and HiinernAme (1584) respectively mark the beginning and the accomplishment of the city's architectural elaboration. The other twenty maps, featuring in manuscript copies of Kitab-i Bahriye (1520s), roughly span the period between 1550 and 1700. The variants of a design fixed around 1570 offer an image that fulfills its topographic elaboration in the late-seventeenth century. While the making of this map's design relates to Istanbul's sixteenth century urban development, its topographical elaboration reflects a new perception of the city. These picture-maps, produced in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, form a unique group of documents as the only known Ottoman pictorial representations showing the city as a whole. As revealed by the context of the books containing them, their making relates both to Ottoman Empire's territorial expansion and to the appropriation of Constantinople as its new capital. Their cartographic language combines, in different manners, the familiar conventions of Islamic miniature painting with artistic forms encountered and assimilated during territorial expansion, particularly in contact with Venice.
(cont.) Especially the making of the Istanbul maps in Kitfb-i Bahriye copies illustrates the crucial role of the Mediterranean seafaring culture, its navigation manuals, nautical charts and island books. These images of Istanbul can be related to the development of the urban landscape and its symbolic function. Their study as cartographic representations pays attention to both accuracy and emphasis in their topographic contents. Supported by contemporary European visual sources and travel accounts as well as Ottoman topographic and poetic descriptions of Istanbul, the viewing directions, the depictions of buildings, and the overall cartographic composition in these maps are interpreted as features shaping a symbolic landscape that developed from an ideal vision to an actual garden-like urban environment, structured by land, water, and architecture.

La réalisation de gestes percutanés dans l'IRM ouvre la voie à des pratiques médicales prometteuses. En revanche, l'utilisation de l'IRM reste à ce jour limitée, et ce malgré l'intérêt en terme de qualité d'image. Cela est dû principalement à l'étroitesse du tunnel et à la complexité des gestes réalisés. Pour rendre accessibles de telles pratiques, une assistance robotique semble très pertinente. Pour le concepteur, la réalisation d'un système robotisé compatible IRM n'est pas une tâche facile, étant donné l'espace disponible et la présence d'un champ magnétique intense. C'est dans ce contexte que nous avons développé un assistant robotique, MRGuide, dédié aux traitements du cancer de la prostate dans l'IRM. Il s'agit d'un manipulateur à câbles avec un actionnement déporté. Dans ce travail, de nombreuses contributions menant à la réalisation de ce prototypes ont présentées. Parmi celles‐ci, une instrumentation originale pour estimer la tension des câbles est proposée. Cette instrumentation est basée sur l'utilisation d'une structure en treillis, de mécanismes compliants et de capteurs de déplacement à technologie optique pour assurer la compatibilité avec le scanner. Pour optimiser la géométrie du robot et faciliter son intégration dans l'IRM, une démarche de conception des robots à câbles instrumentés est développée. Cette démarche est basée sur une approche par intervalles. D'autres contributions relatives à la caractérisation de l'espace de travail des robots à câbles instrumentés, à l'étalonnage des capteurs de tension et au développement d'une stratégie de commande adaptée au dispositif sont décrites.

In order to building a spoken or written text, regardless of gender that it is being carried out, the speaker uses linguistic features such as semantic-argumentative strategies intending to guide the interlocutor to certain conclusions. The modalization and polyphony, accordingly, are phenomena that allow the speaker to leave printed his subjectivity in the content of the statements, while acting according to his interlocutor. Focusing in these discussions, this investigation aims to show that modalization and polyphony reveal, linguistically, subjectivity in the digest genre, acting therefore as argumentation features. It is a qualitative research, descriptive and interpretative, which adopts the theoretical and methodological principles of Argumentative Semantics. The corpus consists of ten digests collected in six editions of the Jornal de Resenhas, of the Discurso Editorial, ISSN 1984-6282, published in 2009, 2010 and 2012. The theoretical discussions concerning the Argumentation Theory of Language have based in Ducrot (1994, 1987, 1988), Espíndola (2004), Nascimento (2005, 2009), Koch (2006a, 2006b) and others arguing about the theory approach. The modalization is discussed under the postulates of Castilho and Castilho (1993), Koch (2006b), Cervoni (1989), Nascimento (2009), Neves (2011a), Palmer (2011) and García Negroni (2011). Besides, it was used as theoretical basis, Foucault (2011), Bakhtin (2010a, 2010b), Marcuschi (2008) and others to the formulations about the digest genre. The analysis reveals that digesters use modalization and the polyphony of speakers as phenomena that ultimately report the speakers‟ subjectivity in relation to the view of the voices of other speakers, that is, as a discursive strategy that guides the way the text of the digest should be read. Thus, the gender digest is defined as a place of interaction of voices and subjective impressions through which the speaker summarizes praises, criticizes and evaluates the most diverse academic intellectual productions.
Pour construire un texte parlé ou écrit, indépendamment du genre qui réalise, le locuteur utilise des fonctionnalités linguistiques comme les stratégies sémantiques argumentatif afin de guider les appelants à certaines conclusions. La modalisation et la polyphonie, en conséquence, sont des phénomènes qui permettent au locuteur laisser imprimé sa subjectivité dans le contenu des déclarations, tout en agissant en fonction de son interlocuteur. Avec l'accent dans ces discussions, cette recherche vise à ètidier les annonceurs de modalité et de la polyphonie, comme des phénomènes qui révèlent, linguistiquement, la subjectivité dans le genre compte-rendu, s‟agissant, de cette manière, comme des marques d'argumentation. Il est une recherche qualitative, descriptive et interprétative, qui adopte les principes théoriques et méthodologiques de la sémantique argumentative. Le corpus se compose de dix comptes-rendus dans six éditions du Jornal de Resenhas, imprimés par Discurso Editorial, ISSN 1984-6282, publiés en 2009, 2010 et 2012. Pour les discussions théoriques en concernant a la Théorie de L'argumentation de la Langue, nous fundamentons-nous en Ducrot (1994, 1987, 1988), Espíndola (2004), Nascimento (2005, 2009), Koch (2006a, 2006b) et d'autres qui discutent à propos de l'approche de la théorie. La modalisation est discuté sous les postulats de Castilho et Castilho (1993), Koch (2006b), Cervoni (1989), Nascimeto (2009), Neves (2011a), Palmer (2011) et García Negroni (2011). Et on utilise encore comme une base théorique, Foucault (2011), Bakhtin (2010a, 2010b), Marcuschi (2008) et d'autres pour les formulations sur la révision de genre. L'analyse révèle que les examinateurs utilisent la modalisation et la polyphonie des haut-parleurs comme des phénomènes qui relèvent finalement la subjectivité des intervenants des examens par rapport à la vue de la voix des autres orateurs, qui est, comme une stratégie qui guide discoursivement le chemin du texte de comme l'avis doit être lu. Le genre compte-rendu, dans cette recherche est considérée comme un lieu d'interaction des voix et impressions subjectives ainsi à travers laquelle l'orateur résume louanges, critique et évalue plus diverses productions intellectuelles academiques.

A modalização e a polifonia, nesse sentido, são fenômenos que possibilitam ao locutor deixar impressa a sua subjetividade no conteúdo dos enunciados, ao mesmo tempo em que age em função de seu interlocutor. Com o foco nessa discussão, esta pesquisa objetiva investigar a modalização e a polifonia de locutores como fenômenos que revelam, linguisticamente, a subjetividade no gênero resenha acadêmico-científica, funcionando, portanto, como marcas de argumentação. Trata-se de uma investigação qualitativa, de caráter descritivo e interpretativista, que adota os princípios teórico-metodológicos da Semântica Argumentativa. O corpus é constituído de dez resenhas, coletadas em seis edições do Jornal de Resenhas, da Discurso Editorial, ISSN 1984-6282, publicadas nos anos de 2009, 2010 e 2012. Para as discussões teóricas concernentes à Teoria da Argumentação na Língua, embasamo-nos em Ducrot (1994, 1987, 1988), Espíndola (2004), Nascimento (2005, 2009), Koch (2006a, 2006b) entre outros que discutem a respeito da teoria em abordagem. A modalização é discutida sob os postulados de Castilho e Castilho (1993), Koch (2006b), Cervoni (1989), Nascimento (2009), Neves (2011a), Palmer (2011) e García Negroni (2011). Ainda servem de embasamento teórico, Foucault (2011), Bakhtin (2010a, 2010b), Marcuschi (2008) e outros, para as formulações acerca do gênero textual resenha. As análises revelam que os resenhistas utilizam a modalização e a polifonia de locutores como fenômenos que acabam por denunciar a subjetividade dos locutores das resenhas em relação ao ponto de vista das vozes de outros locutores, ou seja, como uma estratégia que orienta discursivamente a forma como o texto da resenha deve ser lido. O gênero resenha, nesta investigação, é visto como um lugar de interação de vozes e, portanto, de impressões subjetivas, através do qual o locutor resume, elogia, critica e avalia as mais diversas produções intelectuais acadêmicas.

This paper presents an on-line multimedia travel guide system. This system combines film with map, which enables users to upload and edit the information of scenic spots in the film. It also allows the users to know the corresponding location of the scenic spot on the map. The map uses the API function which is opened by Google Map. This system helps users to plan the itinerary more easily. Furthermore, as each user can revise the information of the scenic spots on-line directly, in order to assure the accuracy of the information, a corresponding protective measure and message system is designed. It can enhance the reliability of the system, and allow the users to search for the necessary information of the journey efficiently.

During the Ming period, the flourish of “jiyou tu” (tourism paintings), with travel trend, has been considered one of the most significant developments in the time. However, a series of painting, Jixing tu (pictorial travel journey), in an innovative format, has only begun to be explored in these years. Jixing tu, also called Shuicheng tu (journey by water), commissioned by Wang Shizhen (1526-1590) and were done by Qian Gu (1508-1572) and Zhang Fu (1546-ca. 1631), recording Wang‘s journey from Taicang to Beijing. This thesis mainly focuses on this series of painting which is divided into a three-album set and another version of the first album. In the past, some scholars have discussed the visual materials adapted by Jixing tu and Wang''s purpose, but the function and style of the painting have never been fully explained. This thesis gives two perspective to the subject. First, the function of these paintings is not only to commemorate one''s experience but to provide tour materials for future travelers. In general, rather than determining the representation of the scenery, painters added a style of traditional maps to the albums, such as the application of high point of view and the script next to landmarks, to illuminate the tour information about each site. Secondly, painters obviously made a conscious effort to simplify the brush, yet the effort has received scant attention, leaving its feature underappreciated. This thesis suspects that Wang was trying to publish these paintings. This interpretation would be helpful to understand the brush style, furthermore, explains the relationship between the print culture and tourism. Given the possibility, it is suggested that Wang Shizhen plays a crucial role at the experimental stage of woodblock-printed of landscapes.

At the beginning of the Recession of Taiwan, all works of life are booming but the travel industry. Since the Kuomintang (KMT) government signed a contract with the United States for their soldiers from Vietnam War, the government realized that the travel industry, also called chimney free industry, can earn US dollars and increase foreign exchange reserves. The first public travel agency was established to cater to the US soldiers from Vietnam War to come to Taiwan for vacation. Erotic hotels in Beitou, Taipei were built compliantly, which made Taiwan a ‘man paradise.’ This stigma was gradually disappeared from the beginning of the 1990s. This study would like to research the history and develop quality tourism for Taiwan. This study adopts qualitative research method with literature review and in-depth interview. We investigate ideas that were collected from interviews with three tourism-related academic professionals and ten senior tour guides. A content analysis was conducted according to literature reviews initially and the transcripts were analyzed. The results of study, conclusions, and practical implications are offered to industry and government.

Although the effects of physical attractiveness and professional functions on business-relationships have been previously mentioned by researchers.However,the research on the effect of the two matching on service satisfaction is very limited.Therefore,this study is through the use of reliability and validity of the analysis method,measure theeffectment between the two matched,and take the personal involvement of consumers as the interference variable.The results show that physical attractiveness and professional function are fit,the appropriate fit will help consumers to enhance relationship quality evaluation,and the improper collocation can not improve the quality of consumer relationship evaluation,even degrade Evaluation. And if consumers’ personal involvement is higher,the effect will be more obvious.This high degree of involvement in the consumer has the ability of self judgment.Previous research has only a single appearance of attractiveness,professional competence and personal involvement and explore its effect on relationship quality.This study proposes to another kind of interference fit and to understand the effect of interaction between the three effects on service satisfaction.Based on the results of this study have significance on the theory and practice of consumers planning to upgrade the quality of service satisfaction.

In this study, specific attention is paid to the importance attached by food consumers to Mediterranean destinations and trip attributes upon food experience. Healthy diet was explored according to Mediterranean culture food with a convenience sample of 210 Taiwan free and independent travelers in Mediterranean. A self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain healthy diet at travel destinations. Food consumption was estimated using a frequency diary. A majority of the samples had a positive attitude towards their healthy diet behavior. Those who perceived their own food habits to be healthy and had searched healthy diet information were more likely to comply with Mediterranean diet guidelines than those who did not. Females, age of 20 to 39 with tertiary education were associated with positive attitude towards their healthy diet behavior. An positive correlation with greater care about culture was evident for these with high healthy diet score. These preferences are compared to the previous studies on affecting factors, and the general literature on food tourism. It can be concluded that attitudes or motivation towards healthy diet was related to dietary and lifestyle behavior. Future research is suggested to devise appropriate methods of changing attitude towards dietary behavior in certain subgroups of the population.

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2016.In this, Part 1 of a two-part MSc, the geology of the area between Lukla and Mount Everest is described. An outcome of the MSc is the production of a field guide to this area, presented as Part 2 of this thesis. The collision between India and Asia resulted in the Himalayan orogen, 3000 km in lateral extent, an elevated Tibetan Plateau and a crust of at least 60 km in thickness. The resulting crustal flow from under this region is in the direction of least resistance, eastwards towards the Pacific subduction zones, but there is also southwards flow towards the Indian subcontinent resulting in vertical complexity. This southwards extrusion of mid-crustal rocks through a mechanism termed channel flow explains the presence of Miocene leucogranite between Ordovician limestones comprising the summit of Everest, and granite gneiss underlying the exhumed granite. Rapid rates of denudation assisted the extrusion of crustal slabs between the South Tibetan Detachment (STD) and the Main Central Thrust (MCT). Low-grade metamorphic rocks of the Everest Series are juxtaposed across the STD with the underlying high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS). The GHS rocks in turn, are juxtaposed across the MCT with the underlying low-grade Siwaliks. Everest Series schists record temperatures of between 600 °C and 650 °C, and pressure estimates for these rocks ranging from 2.9 ± 0.6 kbar to 6.2 ± 0.7 kbar, corresponding to burial depths of between 10 km and 20 km. The GHS experienced eclogite facies metamorphism with pressures of > 14 kbar (>45 km depth) before being exhumed to granulite facies conditions of 4-6 kbar and 700-800 °C. High-temperature metamorphism of the GHS has resulted in partial melting and melt segregation and ascent to form the High Himalayan Leucogranites, a number of granitic bodies that have accumulated near the top of the GHS. Intense erosion through the action of glaciers, rivers, landslides and earthquakes (as the 25th April 2015 magnitude 7.8, and 12th May 2015, of magnitude 7.3 earthquakes attest), balance uplift of the Himalaya.

With the rapid growth of inbound visitors in Taiwan, there were numerous changes for tourism industry. Therefore, the Chinese tourists became the most critical group for inbound tourism in Taiwan; yet the tour agencies and tour guides have been the essential host receptionists. The purpose of this study namely aims at exploring changes of organization and operation, obstacles and difficulties, and the relevant impacts on tour agencies after the implementation of opening cross-strait tourism policy. Furthermore, it analyzes the correlation among work pressure, service quality and professional ability for tour guides as well. By means of in-depth interview with tourism practitioners and tour guides, integrating analysis of related literature review, there are several findings after opening Chinese tourists for Taiwan cited as follows: 1) The changes of arrival frequency on tourism regulations and imperfections; 2) Fierce competitiveness among tour agencies and difficulty in maintaining the tourism quality; 3) Serious decline in tourism quality and being difficult to restrain; 4) Acute pressure occurring to tour guides on shopping demand; 5) High-reproducibility of the course and long-journey ride. The problems faced by the low-cost travel group is difficult to prevent, the Chinese tourists to reduce the other passengers is difficult to replace, difficult to counseling transformation, poor tourism safety management However, regarding the impacts on the reduction of Chinese tourists in 2016, the study appeared that the relevant negative news and traveling security have been the main reasons for harmfully leading to tourism image in Taiwan. Besides, the authorities must be careful management of security issues, the travel agencies have to be transformed in business revolutions, and the tour guides ought to follow the transitions as well. Based on the above statements, the total of 336 valid questionnaires were collected and analyzed in this study. The work pressure of the tour guides was analyzed by explorative factor analysis. The statistical results show that five dimensions extracted as sudden risk, institutional environment, emotional adjustment, frequently get along with tourists and work tired. The highest pressure is emotional adjustment. To maintain good mood, accident risk during traveling is the pressure of the tour guide, and work tired will reduce the service quality of the tour guide. Taiwan tour guides have a higher average age, but the study found that older, senior, highly educated tour guides, their service quality will be significantly better than others. Professional competences are positively correlated with the service quality, and the working pressure is partly negatively correlated with the service quality, and the professional ability to show partial low correlation. According to the research results, the tourism business units must pay more attention to the issue of tour guide’s salary, difficult to transform, make the best use of guide’s professional, attention to low-cost tour group , and to assist tour agencies and tour guides transformation.
