Full textAbstract:
MBA Professional Report<br>This project analyzes the Navy's 1982 decision to lease thirteen T-AKX class Maritime Prepositioning Ships (MPS) and five Champion Class T-5 replacement tankers. It examines the MPS/T-5 history, a brief history of Navy ship leasing, and the MPS/T-5 acquisition process. In addition, it reviews the laws and regulations that were in place at the time of the lease and the cost comparison between the lease versus purchase decision. The examination concludes that while leasing the MPS/T-5 ships was more cost effective under 1982 laws and assumptions, many of these assumptions would no longer be used under current laws and regulations. Thus, from a purely monetary point of view, leasing would no longer be more cost effective than purchasing. However, leasing does provide three significant advantages that are not present in a traditional procurement. First, leasing allows the Government to pay as it uses an asset, which spreads the payments over an asset's useful life rather than completely paying for the asset when procured. Second, leasing allows the Government to bypass a lengthy procurement process, resulting in earlier asset utilization. Third, leasing allows the Government to obtain assets that would not have otherwise been procured due to budget constraints.

Brennan, Douglas C. (Douglas Carl). "Booker T. Washington and the Myth of Accommodation." Thesis, University of North Texas, 1994. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278905/.
Full textAbstract:
Since his rise to fame in the late nineteenth century, Booker T. Washington has been incorrectly labeled a compromiser and power-hungry politician who sacrificed social progress for his own advancement. Through extensive research of Washington's personal papers, speeches, and affiliations, it has become apparent that the typical characterizations of Washington are not based exclusively in fact. The paper opens with an overview of Washington's philosophy, followed by a discussion of Washington's rise to power and consolidation of his "Tuskegee Machine," and finally the split that occurred within the African-American community with the formation of the NAACP. The thesis concludes that, while Washington's tactics were different from and far less visible than those of more militant black leaders, they were nonetheless effective in the overall effort.

Pai, Chih-Wei. "An analysis of motorcyclist injury severity by various crash configurations at T-junctions in the United Kingdom." Thesis, Edinburgh Napier University, 2008. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/6200.
Full textAbstract:
Motorcyclists that have no protective structures while motorcycling as other occupants of automobiles do can be particularly vulnerable to accident injuries (i.e., motorcycles are not as crashworthy as automobiles). Motorcyclists' susceptibility to accident injuries in nature may act synergistically with the complexity of conflicting manoeuvres between motorcycles and other motor vehicles to increase their injury severities in accidents that take place at junctions (e.g., T-junction or crossroad). Previous studies have applied crash prediction models to investigate influential factors on the occurrences of different crash configurations among automobiles but statistical models of motorcyclist injury severity resulting from different motorcycle-car crash configurations have rarely been developed. This current research attempts to develop the appropriate statistical models of motorcyclist injury severity by various crash configurations conditioned on crash occurrence at T-junctions in the UK. T-junctions are selected in this study because such junctions represent the single greatest danger to motorcyclists - for junction-type accidents, the statistics from the UK Stats19 accident injury database over the years 1991 and 2004 suggested that T-junctions were ranked the highest in terms of injury severity (Le., accidents at T-junctions resulted in approximately 65% of all casualties that sustained fatal or serious injuries) and accident occurrence (i.e., accidents at Tjunctions accounted for 62% of all motorcyclist casualties). This may be in part because there is a comparatively large number ofT-junctions in the UK. Although the author was unable to take into account the exposure factor due to the lack of such data (Le., the total number of T-junctions, and the number of motorcycles travelling on these locations), it remains true that more severe accidents happen at T-junctions than any other type of junction. In this present study, motorcycle-car accidents at Tjunctions were classified into several crash configurations based on two methods that have been widely used in literature. The first method is based on the conflicts that arise from the pre-crash manoeuvres of the motorcycle and car. The second method is on the basis of first points of impact of the motorcycle and car. The crash configurations that are classified in this current study based on the mixture of these two methods include (a) accidents involving gap acceptance (i.e., approach-turn crash and angle crash), (b) head-on crash, and (c) same-direction crash (i.e., sideswipe crash and rear-end crash). Since injury severity levels in traffic accidents are typically progressive (ranging from no injury to fatal/death), the ordered response models have come into fairly wide use as a framework for analysing such responses. Using the accident data extracted from the Stats19 accident injury database over 14-year period (1991~2004), the ordered probit (OP) model of motorcyclist injury severity were estimated because the dependent variable (i.e., no injury, slight injury, KSI: killed or seriously injured) is intrinsically discrete and ordinal. A set of the independent variables were included as the predictor variables, including rider/motorist attributes, vehicle factors, weather/temporal factors, roadway/geometric characteristics, and crash factors. The current research firstly estimated the aggregate OP model of motorcyclist injury severity by motorcycle-car accidents in whole. Additional disaggregate models of motorcyclist injury severity by various crash configurations were subsequently conducted. It appears in this current research that while the aggregate model by motorcycle-car accidents in whole is useful to uncover a general overview of the factors that were associated with the increased motorcyclist injury severity, the dis aggregate models by various crash configurations provide valuable insights (that may not be uncovered by an aggregate crash model) that motorcyclist injury severity in different crash configurations are associated with different pre-crash conditions. For example, the preliminary analysis by conducting descriptive analysis reveals that the deadliest crash manner in approach-turn crashes and angle crashes was a collision in which a right-turn car collided with an approaching motorcycle. Such crash patterns that occurred at stop-/give-way controlled junctions appear to exacerbate motorcyclist injury severity. The disaggregate models by the deadliest crash manners in approachturn crashes and angle crashes suggest that injuries tended to be more severe in crashes where a right-turn motorist was identified to fail to yield to an approaching motorcyclist. Other disaggregate crash models also identified important determinants of motorcyclist injury severity. For instance, the estimation results of the head-on crash model reveal that motorcyclists were more injurious in collisions where curves were present for cars than where the bend was absent. Another noteworthy result is that a traversing motorcycle colliding with a travelling-straight car predisposed motorcyclists to a greater risk of KSIs. These findings were clearly obscured by the estimation of the aggregate model by accidents in whole. In the course of the investigation of the factors that affect motorcyclist injury severity, it became clear that another problem, that of a right-turn motorist's failure to yield to motorcyclists (for the deadliest crash patterns in both approach-turn crash and angle crash), needs to be further examined. The logistic models are estimated to evaluate the likelihood of motorist's right-of-way violation over non right-of-way violation as a function of human attributes, weather/temporal factors, roadway/geometric factors, vehicle characteristics, and crash factors. The logistic models uncover the factors determining the likelihood of motorists' failure to yield. Noteworthy findings include, for instance, teenaged motorists, elderly motorists, male motorists, and professional motorists (Le., those driving heavy goods vehicles and buses/coaches) were more likely to infringe upon motorcycle's right-of-way. In addition, violation cases appeared to be more likely to occur on non built-up roadways, and during evening/midnight/early morning hours This present research has attempted to fill the research gaps that crash prediction models focused on analysing motorcyclist injury severity in different crash configurations have rarely been developed. The results obtained in this current research, by exploring a broad range of variables including attributes of riders and motorists, roadway/geometric characteristics, weather/temporal factors, and vehicle characteristics, provide valuable insights into the underlying relationship between risk factors and motorcycle injury severity both at an aggregate level and at a disaggregate level. This research finally discusses the implications of the findings and offers a guideline for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Beginning in 1954, the United States Army attempted to build a viable armed force in South Vietnam. Until the early 1960s, other areas commanded more American attention, yet this formative period was influential in later United States involvement in Vietnam. This thesis examines United States advisory efforts from 1955 to 1960 by analyzing the tenure of Lieutenant General Samuel T. Williams as Chief of the Military Assistance Advisory Group in South Vietnam. During Williams's tenure, the communist forces in the north began the guerrilla insurgency in earnest. Williams's failure to respond to this change has been justly criticized; yet his actions were reflective of the United States Army's attitude toward insurgencies in the late 1950s.

Full textAbstract:
La reconnaissance specifique d'un antigene par le lymphocyte t mature est assuree par un recepteur de surface appele recepteur pour l'antigene des cellules t (ou tcr). Il est compose d'un module de reconnaissance de l'antigene forme par les chaines et du tcr associees aux sous-unites invariantes cd3-, -, - et -. Les chaines cd3 sont indispensables a l'assemblage et a la montee en surface d'un tcr fonctionnel et elles assurent la transduction du signal d'activation suite a la stimulation du tcr. Le domaine intracytoplasmique des chaines cd3 contient une (cd3-, - et -) ou trois copies (cd3-) d'une sequence consensus (yxxl/i) 2 appelee itam pour immunoreceptor tyrosine based activation motif. La phosphorylation des residus tyrosines des motif itam par les proteines tyrosine kinases de la famille src constitue une des premieres etapes de declenchement de la reponse immunitaire. Ce travail de these s'interesse au role des chaines cd3 au cours du developpement thymocytaire et de l'activation des cellules t matures. 1/ nous avons produit une lignee de souris dont le gene codant pour la chaine cd3- a ete inactive par recombinaison homologue. Nous montrons que l'absence de polypeptide cd3- intact empeche l'assemblage d'un pre-tcr fonctionnel et bloque la maturation thymocytaire a un stade precoce du developpement. 2/ en utilisant des souris deficientes pour les chaines cd3- et cd3- dans lesquelles une chaine tcr rearrangee a ete introduite sous forme de transgene, nous avons montre que les sous unites cd3 et par inference le pre-tcr sont absolument necessaires a l'etablissement de l'exclusion allelique du locus tcr endogene. 3/ enfin, nous avons regarde le developpement thymocytaire et l'activation des cellules t matures dans des souris cd3- / reconstituees avec differents transgenes codant pour une chaine cd3- dont les differents motifs de transduction itam ont ete mutes. Nos travaux montrent que l'absence de 6 motifs itam fonctionnels au sein du complexe tcr-cd3 ne reduit pas le nombre d'evenements d'activation et de fonctions effectrices qui sont declenchees apres activation d'un tcr complet et que les differentes sous-unites cd3 peuvent exercer au sein du complexe tcr-cd3 mature des fonctions redondantes.

Collignon, Fabienne. "Rocket states : an analysis of US missile culture." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2009. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/936/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis emerges out of a study of Thomas Pynchon’s work, from certain qualities and attributes that recur in his writing, notably the forces and hauntings of technology; the project is, further, alert to these phenomena as it is to Pynchon’s prose technique which exemplifies these aspects in its proliferative connections and modes of association. The study, whose title similarly derives from Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow, offers readings of literary, historical and visual texts, and examines the radioactive substance, as well as the cultural implications and material manifestations, of the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and of its support mechanisms. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, the thesis focuses on the interface between geography and technology, and identifies how missile technology is expressed, developed and linked to already existing narratives of particular US states. It uses methods and interpretations drawn from the creative mythologies of Alexis de Tocqueville and Thomas Jefferson, the fields of cultural and military studies, theories of technology formulated by Paul Virilio, Jean Baudrillard, Laurence Rickels and Paul N. Edwards, architectural and spatial theories developed by Henri Lefebvre and Anthony Vidler, and Cold War horror and science fiction movies, all of which frame the wider issues involved. The premise for the project is the representation of American power, or of the ‘American spirit’, in D.H Lawrence’s words, as a monster, a vampire which feeds on the subjects of the nation; this notion of vampirism is latent in the project’s four chapters, on Colorado, Kansas, Cape Canaveral and New York, which seek to address different aspects of the country’s flights into (nuclear) enclosures. The first chapter, ‘Excavation’, focuses on the state of Colorado and uranium mining, and examines the missile’s substance, its nuclear core, through close readings of Stephen King’s The Shining. The second chapter, ‘Preservation’, is concerned with the state of Kansas and the missile silo, and employs the writings of Thomas Jefferson, Allen Ginsberg, Thomas Pynchon, Frank Baum and a range of political and military studies to arrive at a consideration of the form of the missile silo as the epitome of an architecture of storage. The third chapter, ‘Evacuation’, homes in on Cape Canaveral, guided by J.G. Ballard’s Space Age short stories and Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow, and utilises archival material from James E. Webb, NASA administrator from 1961–1967, to argue that narratives of progress and possibilities of movement are bound to the need to seek refuge in static enclosures. The fourth chapter, ‘Transmission’, zeroes in on New York, and is concerned with missile defence; it deploys analysis of the works of H.G Wells, Jonathan Schell, Nikola Tesla, Ronald Reagan and Elaine Scarry to discuss the transmission of rays, and of rumours.

Anderson, Thomas Lee. "John Bennett Walters, Total War, and the Raid on Randolph, Tennessee." TopSCHOLAR®, 2009. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/87.
Full textAbstract:
The regnant interpretation of the American Civil War includes the fact that it evolved into a “total war,” which adumbrated the total wars of the twentieth century. Mark E. Neely, in 1991, published an influential paper calling this interpretation into question for the first time. In the article Neely revealed that the first mention of “total war” in connection with the Civil War was an article written in 1948 by John Bennett Walters about Gen. William T. Sherman and a raid he ordered on Randolph, Tennessee in reprisal for an attempted hijacking of the packet boat Eugene on the Mississippi River.
Walters castigates Sherman’s raid as brutal, cruel, and wanton and tries to depict Sherman as a violent and hateful man who set out to punish Southerners for turning their backs on the Union. He—along with modern residents of Tipton County, Tennessee—claim that Sherman burned the whole town to the ground. But a close investigation of the target of Sherman’s attack shows that Randolph, Tennessee had been a ghost town since the mid 1840s with the result that very little actual damage was done. There may have been as many as six dwellings in the area along with dozens of abandoned and derelict buildings. Sherman’s orders to the troops were to let the citizens know that Union officials abhorred this kind of violence but were forced by guerilla activities to burn their homes to discourage continued attacks on river boats. The residents were given sufficient time to remove their belongings before the buildings were set afire.
The results of this investigation suggest that the raid on Randolph might be emblematic of much of the purported devastation of the South by Sherman and his armies. Perhaps the “total war” on the South was illusory and has been greatly exaggerated along with the destructiveness of the Civil War. The term “total war” seems never to have been used in the nineteenth century. Total war is a twentieth-century term and is completely bound up with twentieth-century technology, especially with aircraft as weapons of mass destruction. The kind of destruction encompassed by “total war” was unimaginable in Civil War times, especially the deliberate killing of noncombatant civilians. It is argued, then, that the use of the term “total war” to describe the American Civil War is anachronistic and thus entails the projection of twentieth century realities into the past.

Full textAbstract:
National rank on international assessments, as measured in Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), gives a limited view of the data presented. This study used average scale score data from the TIMSS (1995, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011) that were then disaggregated based on content domains (i.e., number, algebra, measurement, geometry, data, earth science, life science, physical science, biology, physics, and chemistry). These data were graphed to show the growth of the U.S. national average scale scores in comparison to three top scoring countries (i.e., Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore), and three other post-industrial countries similar to the U.S. (i.e., England, Italy, and Australia) It was found that the eastern nations outperformed the western nations on science math question for the fourth and eighth grade. The gap between eastern and western nations grew from the fourth to eighth grades. For fourth- and eighth-grade science content domains, Singapore outperformed all other nations except in earth science where all nations were evenly matched. Additionally, percent correct statistics from the 2011 TIMSS Released Items were disaggregated based on subject (i.e., science and mathematics) and cognitive domain (i.e., knowing, applying, and reasoning). The released item scores, based on cognitive domain, were then averaged and the U.S. averages were compared with the averages of the above mentioned nations, using a series of t-tests. Singapore scored significantly higher in all categories except fourth-grade science cognitive domains knowing and applying. Hong Kong scored significantly higher in fourth- and eighth-grade mathematics cognitive domains knowing and applying and eighth-grade mathematics cognitive domain reasoning. Japan scored significantly higher in eighth-grade mathematics cognitive domains applying and reasoning as well as science cognitive domain applying. These findings suggest that the U.S. is lagging behind in some content domains and cognitive domains, but not all. The current study informs teachers, administrators, and policy makers of the specifics areas the U.S. needs improvement.

Using the tools of structural and network analysis developed by Ronald R. Burt and others, this study investigated the communication patterns among corporate officers of American Telephone and Telegraph Corporation (A.T. & T.) and United Telecommunications Corporation (Sprint). Data on contacts, efficiency, network density, and constraint indicate that opportunities for power and constraint have remained relatively stable at United Telecommunications between 1980 and 1990. A. A.T. & T., on the other hand, was more affected by the drastic changes in the telecommunication industry. The span of A.T. & T. has grown smaller and the potential for constraining relations among A. T. & T. and financial institutions has increased during the period 1980 and 1990.

Ce recepteur est un complexe multimerique compose de sous-unites variables responsables de la reconnaissance d'un peptide antigenique presente par une molecule d'histocompatibilite, et de sous-unites constantes impliquees dans la transduction du signal d'activation cellulaire. Nous avons utilise differentes approches en vue de la caracterisation moleculaire des genes codant pour le recepteur des lymphocytes t chez le poulet, ainsi que pour cd4, qui intervient aussi lors de l'interaction des cellules t auxiliaires avec sa cible. C'est finalement l'hybridation differentielle avec des sondes soustraites qui nous a permis d'isoler un cdna codant pour une sous-unite cd3 du recepteur t du poulet. La sequence obtenue presente de fortes homologies a la fois avec les chaines cd3-v et -o des mammiferes, et derive probablement de l'ancetre commun a ces chaines. L'expression de ce gene dans le thymus debute tres tot au cours du developpement. Le second chapitre porte sur le complexe majeur d'histocompatibilite, qui se defini par la presence des genes codant pour les antigenes de classe i et de classe ii, ainsi que pour d'autres polypeptides non apparentes a ces antigenes. Nous avons etudie l'un de ces genes non classiques chez le poulet. L'analyse des sequences obtenues permet de classer le produit de ce gene dans la superfamille des lectines animales.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation will examine the formation of the myth that William T. Sherman laid waste to the state of Georgia in 1864, and almost single-handedly invented the concept of “total war.” It will also examine how Sherman’s reputation has evolved over the years from accusations of being a Southern sympathizer and traitor at the end of the Civil War to the modern image of Sherman as the destroyer of the old South. William Tecumseh Sherman was the most controversial general of the American Civil War. The modern image of Sherman is either a destructive monster who violated the laws of civilized warfare or a strategic genius who invented modern warfare. Both of these images have evolved over the years. In large part, they have been the product of Lost Cause writers trying to reinterpret the history of the war, but also the product of Union generals and politicians attempting to glorify their own place in the history of the war, men with personal grudges against the general and modern historians using Sherman to make their own arguments about contemporary society. The sources used for this dissertation were the journals, letters and memoirs of the participants. The Official Records of both the Union and Confederacy were examined as well as nineteenth and twentieth century newspapers and magazines. This dissertation will show that the modern conception of General Sherman is not the same as the historical fact, but rather a post-war creation. Individuals’ agendas have created and sustained the myth of Sherman to explain defeat in the Civil War, justify later military strategy, condemn later conflicts and for personal gain. It is not enough to know that historical events as commonly understood are inaccurate; it is important to understand how and why these inaccuracies came about.

Anticiper l’hypotension, un de ses principaux symptômes, peut être extrêmement utile pour prendre des décisions thérapeutiques mieux adaptées et dans certains cas prévenir, dès le départ, l'apparition d'une défaillance d'organe en ajustant de façon appropriée la stratégie thérapeutique. De plus, la capacité de prédire toute détérioration à venir peut être très utile pour aider l'affectation proactive des équipes soignantes au sein des services hospitaliers. La première partie de ce travail de thèse a porté sur l’utilisation et l'application d'un algorithme ensembliste issu de l'apprentissage automatique, le Super Learner (SL), pour prédire la survenue d'un épisode d'hypotension 10 minutes et plus à l’avance, chez des patients hospitalisés en réanimation. Ce travail a permis de démontrer que lorsqu'il s'agit de données massives, les signaux physiologiques peuvent être intégrés dans les modèles prédictifs sans nécessiter de méthodes complexes de prétraitement pour être exploités et que le SL était bien supérieur à chacun des algorithmes inclus dans sa bibliothèque, comme en témoignaient des erreurs plus faibles et de bonnes valeurs de sensibilité et spécificité lors de son évaluation interne et externe puis, dans la seconde partie de cette thèse, nous avons développé un modèle d'apprentissage automatique profond, le Physiological Deep Learner (PDL), pour prédire simultanément des valeurs de pression artérielle moyenne (PAM) et de fréquence cardiaque (FC) afin d’imiter la façon dont les cliniciens analysent conjointement l'évolution de la PAM et de la FC, étant donné leur étroite interdépendance physiologique. Nous avons mis en évidence que l'utilisation d’un algorithme multitâche surpassait les performances de prédiction d'algorithmes monotâches indépendants. En effet, par rapport à une approche plus traditionnelle, notre PDL présente un meilleur profil de calibration et moins d'erreur. En outre, le PDL a été capable de prédire avec une grande précision la survenue ou non d'un épisode d'hypotension jusqu'à 60 minutes à l'avance<br>The digital revolution in healthcare, reflected in both the centralization of and access to extensive medical databases and the considerable advances in artificial intelligence (AI), has created new opportunities for data science applied to medicine. Putting the patient at the heart of the health care system, developing these new technologies guarantees a more personalized medicine by identifying more predictive factors and individual prognosis. This thesis work is entirely in line with the concept of personalized medicine. More precisely, it is an example of medical AI's development and concrete application to predict hypotension and, more broadly, of states of shock, frequent pathologies affecting more than one-third of patients hospitalized in intensive care. Indeed, shock, defined as a failure of the circulatory system leading to an inadequacy between the supply and the peripheral tissue needs in oxygen, is considered a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency. Therefore, anticipating hypotension, one of its main symptoms, can be extremely useful to make better therapeutic decisions and, in some cases, prevent the onset of organ failure from the beginning by appropriately adjusting the therapy. In addition, the ability to predict future deterioration can be beneficial to assist in the proactive assignment of care teams within hospital departments. The first part of this thesis work focused on using and applying a machine learning-based ensemble algorithm, the Super Learner (SL), to predict the occurrence of a hypotensive episode 10 minutes or more in advance in patients hospitalized in the ICU. This work demonstrated that physiological signals could be integrated into predictive models when dealing with massive data without requiring complex pre-processing methods to be exploited. Also, the SL was far superior to each of the algorithms included in its library, as evidenced by its lower errors and good values of sensitivity and specificity values during its internal and external evaluation. Then, to mimic the way that clinicians are trained to jointly analyze the evolution of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) given their close physiological interdependence, we developed a deep learning model, the Physiological Deep Learner (PDL), to predict MAP and HR simultaneously. We highlighted that the use of a multitasking algorithm outperformed the prediction performance of single-tasking algorithms. Indeed, compared to a more traditional approach, our PDL achieved better performance, exhibiting a better calibration profile and fewer errors. In addition, the PDL was able to predict with high accuracy the occurrence or non-occurrence of a hypotensive episode up to 60 minutes in advance

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo compreender o processo de mudança que ocorreu numa empresa de telecomunicações, as práticas que os gestores de topo e intermédios adotaram na perspetiva de garantir a competitividade da empresa num setor altamente dinâmico, de rápidas alterações do ponto de vista económico, social, tecnológico e cultural. Para atingir esses objetivos, recorreu-se, como procedimento metodológico, à pesquisa qualitativa e aplicou-se entrevistas junto a seis líderes envolvidos diretamente no processo de mudança.
Os resultados revelam a existência de práticas de gestão da mudança altamente eficazes, enquadradas num programa integrado de gestão da mudança desenvolvido pela própria empresa; assunção clara, por parte dos colaboradores, da nova visão da empresa, uma visão adequada aos desafios do contexto em que insere a empresa; forte aposta na capacitação técnica e desenvolvimento dos colaboradores; preocupação permanente dos gestores em melhorar os processos e os sistemas de trabalho; forte influência dos líderes no processo de mudança; adoção de práticas inovadoras no desenvolvimento e lançamento de novos produtos e serviços, suportado por estratégias de marketing eficazes.
Procurou-se entender se os gestores aplicam integralmente os passos previstos nos modelos propostos por Kotter (1979) e Hayes (2002) e se houve alguma resistência à mudança e quais as medidas adotadas para ultrapassar as resistências. O estudo revela que a empresa adota o seu próprio modelo de gestão de mudança, inspirando-se, entretanto, nos vários modelos existentes mas com resultados altamente positivos. Revela ainda persistir na empresa alguma resistência à mudança.<br>This dissertation aims to understand the process of change that occurred in a telecommunications company, the practices that the top and middle managers adopted in the perspective of guaranteeing the company's competitiveness in a highly dynamic sector of rapid changes from the economic and social point of view, technological and cultural. To achieve these objectives, a qualitative research was used as a methodological procedure and interviews were conducted with six leaders directly involved in the change process. The results reveal the existence of highly effective change management practices, part of an integrated change management program developed by the company.
The study also reveals the clear assumption by the employees of the new vision of the company, adequate to the current organizational context; a strong commitment to technical training and employee development; the ongoing concern of managers to improve processes and work systems; strong influence of leaders in the process of change; the adoption of innovative practices in the development and launch of new products and services supported by effective marketing strategies.
It was tried to understand if the managers apply fully the steps predicted in the models proposed by Kotter (1998) and Hayes (2002) and if there was some resistance to change and what measures were adopted to overcome the resistances. The study reveals that the company adopts its own model of change management, while drawing on the various existing models but with highly positive results. Still reveals in the company some resistance to change.

Mestrado APNOR<br>O contexto desta dissertação é o estudo do branding como estratégia de marketing para as empresas, tendo como estudo a marca Unitel T+. Procuramos obter a perceção e as contribuições do branding como ação capaz de beneficiar a marca em estudo. Igualmente, mostrar como as empresas têm-se favorecido desse conceito para criar uma imagem positiva, melhorando a comunicação entre elas e os clientes. Através de um estudo de caso sobre a marca Unitel T+, descobrimos as vantagens competitivas que o branding traz no desenvolvimento da estratégia de comunicação da marca.
Deste modo, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as contribuições do branding como ação capaz de beneficiar a marca Unitel T+, levando em consideração o seu conceito, a sua abrangência, as dimensões do brand equity. Avaliar como é que este se reflete na intenção de compra, tendo em conta as variáveis relacionadas com a atitude face a produtos/serviços de marca e a atitude face ao poder de compra por parte dos consumidores.
Para testar a importância das dimensões do brand equity optou-se por uma metodologia quantitativa, tendo sido desenvolvido um inquérito por questionário com base nos atributos identificados pelos estudos elaborados por Yoo e Donthu (1997, 2002) e por Yoo, Donthu e Lee (2000). A amostra encontrada para aferir sobre a população foi de 200 (duzentos) consumidores ou não consumidores, representativos da cidade de São Filipe. Para tal, assumiu-se um erro de precisão de 6%, com nível de significância de 5%.
Da investigação desenvolvida é possível concluir que a contribuição do branding é uma ação capaz de beneficiar a marca Unitel T+. Para além, de que se revelou um tema relevante para a época devido aos desafios e as várias oportunidades para as empresas que apareceram com a globalização, dando atenção ao surgimento do branding como ferramenta para a construção da imagem emocional da marca. Para a empresa Unitel T+, espera-se que este trabalho possa demonstrar o valor do branding e dos fatores que a condicionam ou a potenciam.<br>The context of this dissertation is the study of branding as a marketing strategy for companies, having as study the brand Unitel T +. We seek to obtain the perception and contributions of branding as an action capable of benefiting the brand under study. Also, show how companies have favored this concept to create a positive image, improving communication between them and customers. Through a case study on the Unitel T + brand, we have discovered the competitive advantages that branding brings in the development of brand communication strategy.
Thus, the present work aims to analyze the contributions of branding as an action capable of benefiting the brand Unitel T +, taking into account its concept, its scope, the dimensions of brand equity. Evaluate how this is reflected in the purchase intention, taking into account the variables related to the attitude towards branded products/services and the attitude towards the purchasing power of consumers.
To test the importance of the brand equity dimensions, a quantitative methodology was chosen and a questionnaire survey was developed based on the attributes identified by Yoo and Donthu (1997, 2002) and Yoo, Donthu and Lee (2000). The sample found to measure the population was 200 (two hundred) consumers or non-consumers, representative of the city of São Filipe. For this, a precision error of 6% was assumed, with a significance level of 5%.
From the research developed it is possible to conclude that the contribution of branding is an action capable of benefiting the brand Unitel T +. In addition, it proved to be a relevant theme for the time due to the challenges and the various opportunities for companies that appeared with globalization, paying attention to the emergence of branding as a tool to build the emotional image of the brand. For the company Unitel T +, it is expected that this work can demonstrate the value of branding and the factors that condition or enhance it.

Full textAbstract:
En 1903, paraît le magnum opus de William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk. Ce dernier écrit cet ouvrage en poursuivant trois objectifs. Primo, il souhaite démontrer que Booker T. Washington et ses supporters font fausse route en défendant l’idée selon laquelle les Afro-américains pourront accéder à un avenir meilleur en échangeant leurs droits politiques contre des opportunités économiques. Secundo, Du Bois cherche à faire la lumière sur les talents distinctifs et les grandes réalisations de son peuple afin de convaincre les Blancs que les Noirs ne leur sont pas biologiquement ou moralement inférieurs et, par conséquent, que l’égalité raciale doit être totale et immédiate. Tertio, il veut persuader les Américains de devenir de meilleurs citoyens, en renouant avec les idéaux de leur République et en vivant en fonction de principes moraux élevés. L’écriture de Souls marque un tournant majeur dans la vie intellectuelle de son auteur, car il renonce à cette époque au discours conciliatoire qu’il avait tenu dans sa jeunesse. Les idées qu’il défend dans son livre ont germé quelques années plus tôt, au contact de certains de ses professeurs de l’Université de Berlin, d’Alexander Crummell et surtout, en effectuant une étude de terrain sur la communauté noire de Philadelphie. Du Bois réalise alors l’ampleur des injustices dont sont victimes les Noirs et contre lesquelles la bonne volonté et le travail acharné ne peuvent rien.<br>William Edward Burghardt Du Bois published The Souls of Black Folk in 1903. Du Bois pursued three different goals when he wrote his masterpiece. First, he argued that Booker T. Washington’s strategy of trading political rights for economic opportunities was not the best way to improve the condition of African Americans. Second, Du Bois highlighted the accomplishments and distinctive abilities of his people in order to undermine the pretended biological and moral superiority of Whites that often justified the pushback against equal rights for all. Third, Du Bois wished to inspire Americans to become better citizens by compelling his fellow countrymen to embrace the Founding Fathers’ ideals and higher moral standards. The writing of The Souls of Black Folk marks an important shift in Du Bois’ intellectual life because he recants the accommodationist rhetoric of his youth during this period. Some of the ideas introduced in The Souls of Black Folk can be traced back to the influence of Alexander Crummell and of Du Bois’ teachers at the University of Berlin. However, it is Du Bois’s field work in the black community of Philadelphia that made him realize both the degree of the inequalities faced by African Americans and the fact that hard work and enthusiasm are not enough to overcome such significant disparities.

Full textAbstract:
La présente étude a pour objectif de vérifier si le Canada respecte les prescriptions internationales en matière de droits de l’homme et d’entreprises vis-à-vis de l’encadrement qu’il exerce sur les sociétés minières canadiennes évoluant à l’étranger.
En 2011, le Conseil des droits de l’homme de l’ONU a adopté des «Principes directeurs» afin de mettre en oeuvre le cadre de référence « Protéger, Respecter, Réparer » du Représentant spécial chargé de la question des droits de l’homme et des sociétés transnationales et autres entreprises. Selon ce cadre de référence, les États ont des obligations de protection et de réparation alors que les entreprises ont seulement la responsabilité de respecter les droits humains. Après six années de travail, le Représentant spécial John Ruggie, a fait le choix de formuler dans ses «Principes directeurs» des directives non contraignantes à l’égard des États et des entreprises afin de les aider à remplir leurs obligations et responsabilités vis-à-vis des droits de l’homme. Selon, l’ONU, cet instrument de portée universelle est le plus élaboré en la matière, si bien qu’il est recommandé aux entreprises et plus particulièrement aux États de s’y conformer lors de l’élaboration de leurs politiques respectives en
matière d'activité économique et de droits humains.
Il convient donc de vérifier d’une part si l’encadrement exercé par l’appareil législatif et
gouvernemental vis-à-vis des sociétés minières canadiennes évoluant à l’étranger est conforme au principe directeur «Protéger». D’autres part, il convient de vérifier si les recours judiciaires et extrajudiciaires disponibles au Canada remplissent les exigences du principe directeur «Réparer». Cette double analyse permettra de conclure que le Canada respecte dans les grandes lignes ces «Principes directeurs» mais qu’il pourrait faire bien plus notamment en terme d’accès à des réparations effectives pour les victimes étrangères de minières canadiennes.<br>This study propose to assess whether Canada meets the international requirements of business and human rights in relation to the supervision it has on Canadian mining companies operating abroad. In 2011, the Human rights Council adopted the Special Representative’s Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in order to implement the United Nations “Protect, Respect and Remedy” Framework. According to this framework, States have obligations to protect and remedy while companies only have responsibilities to respect human rights. After six years of work, the Special Representative on Business and Human rights, John Ruggie, has chosen to give in its Guiding Principles non- binding recommendations in order to help States and businesses to encounter their obligations and responsibilities towards human rights. According to the UN, this universal instrument is the most developed in the field. Thus, it is strongly recommended that companies and especially States, comply those «guiding principles» when they elaborate their respective policies on economic activity and human rights.
It is therefore necessary to check first if the supervision exercised by the legislature and the government on Canadian mining companies operating abroad succeeds to comply with the "Protect" principles. On the other hand, it must be checked whether the judicial and extrajudicial remedies available in Canada meet the requirements of the «Remedy" principles. This dual analysis will led to conclude that Canada meets broadly the "Guiding Principles" but could do much more, especially in terms of access to effective remedies for foreign victims of Canadian mining companies.
