Résumé :

This dissertation attempts to show how William the Conqueror's claim to be the legitimate, designated, direct successor of Edward the Confessor played a large part in determining not only the nature of post-conquest royal accessions, but also the structure of land tenure. It seeks to analyse how the application of the antecessor argument resulted in a new precision in the definition of the gap between the death of a king and the constitution of his successor. Because the argument, which forms the basis of Domesday Book, provided the framework for post-conquest dependent tenure, this novel precision was also evident in the definition of escheat. But despite the parallel, the interregnum could not be analysed in terms of escheat, because the kingdom was not held of any lord to whom it could revert on the death of a tenant. The king was a necessary exception to the terms of the system which depended ultimately on him. After sketching the legal context of post-conquest royal successions, I try to show why the precisely defined period of interregnum was marked by so great a degree of disorder. In part this resulted from conflict within the royal/ducal kin arising from the inapplicability to the acquired kingdom of pre-conquest mechanisms for ensuring the relatively peaceful descent of the duchy. But these conflicts meshed with the expression of resentments engendered by the king's use of his unique powers over tenure to exploit claims based on Norman hereditary conventions when he did not deny them. I examine how the concept of interregnum, based on this experience and defined in terms of the antecessor scheme, assumed a crucial role in debates about disputed succession, particularly during Stephen's reign. And I show how what I term the problem of interregnum was successfully solved for the first time in post-conquest England in the settlement of 1153. Like all his Anglo-Norman predecessors, the future Henry II only became king at the moment of coronation; but unlike them he was secure in his claim at the moment of the previous king's death. It is impossible to establish with much certainty the precise liturgical form used at Anglo-Norman coronations prior to 1154. But I show that the case for the introduction of the third recension ordo in or around 1066 is not supported by the manuscript evidence, and that an Anglo-Saxon ritual probably continued in use for some considerable time after the conquest. Although the ceremony had assumed a novel and crucial pre-emptive role in constituting a king, the ritual form remained unchanged.

Résumé :

This thesis provides a broad study of the tenurial, administrative and political history of Yorkshire in the first century of English feudalism. It begins by providing a new and more precise chronology for the Norman conquest of Yorkshire and illustrates the importance of castleries and hundreds in the process of take-over. In Chapter 2 the thesis reveals that in the fifty years following the Domesday survey the Normans extended the system of compact lordships based upon castleries, hundreds and hundredal castleries in order to bring the more remote parts of the county under control and to provide protection for its borders. The new men placed in control of these lordships played a vital role in the integration of Yorkshire within the royal system ofjustice and administration. Attention is then paid in Chapter 3 to the scale and pattern of Norman sub-enfeoffment in the period 1086 x 1135. The study throws new light on both the purpose of the system of military service introduced by the Normans and the reasons for the rapid expansion of monasticism in Yorkshire after 1100. Chapter 4 illustrates how after 1135 royal control over the local administration of Yorkshire disintegrated in the face of the political difficulties of King Stephen and the growing power of William earl of York, and Chapter 5 examines how King David of Scotland exploited Stephen's weakness in the northern England to extend his influence within the area. Chapter 6 considers the nature of some of the new enfeoffment tenancies recorded in the 1166 inquest and elucidates the reasons behind the reluctance of magnates to acknowledge their existence and pay scutage upon them. And finally, the thesis concludes in Chapter 7 with a major re-assessment of the nature and strength of lordship and the emergence of property right in the first century of English feudalism.

Résumé :

The honour of Wallingford was the great lordship centred on the castle of Wallingford on the bank of the River Thames in the English county of Berkshire that dominated the southern midland region as an important centre of power. Famous in English constitutional history for its unique mention in King Henry II’s Assize of Clarendon of 1166, and as one of the only baronial lordships mentioned by name in Magna Carta, this thesis is the first full study of this important institution, and explores the reasons for its prominence primarily through English royal records preserved in the Public Record Office, and private charters that survive in the cartularies of religious houses, but also drawing on narrative, topographical and archaeological evidence. The thesis contributes to current scholarship in a number of areas. The model of the ’feudal honour’ has long been central to historians’ understanding of English political history, and the honour of Wallingford was in many ways a perfect representation of ’feudal society’. In light of important recent challenges to the concepts of ’feudalism’ and ’feudal society’, as well as work on the origins of ’bastard feudalism’, this study allows a re-examination of the ways in which post-Conquest political, social, legal and tenurial relations actually operated in society. This allows for a fresh perspective on the impact of the Norman Conquest, the nature and significance of tenurial ties to the social and political organisation of England, the changing ways in which power was mediated in the localities over the period, and the development of the English state. Related to this, the study also focuses on the knightly tenants of the honour, building up a picture of the social, political, economic and cultural circumstances of families over a long period, which were part of a social group of great historical significance.

Résumé :

This thesis is an examination of the tenure and charitable donations of a number of interconnected noble families in post-Conquest Yorkshire. It begins with an introduction to the region; a social and political area of midland and northern England as opposed to a 'county' limited by set boundaries. The types of evidence are explained, charters, chartularies and surviving buildings, before moving on to the historical background. The first chapter examines the feudal divisions of Yorkshire, the evolution of honours and the extent to which Saxon divisions affected later boundaries. The chief places or 'capita' are discussed and presented as a fusion of urban, religious and seigneurial elements. Attention is paid to features of earlier landscapes, such as iron-age hillforts, that were re-used in this period. A major part of the thesis is the role of the castle both as one element of local government and as an expression of artistic patronage, social connections and status. The functions of both fortified and non-fortified seigneurial residences are explored. The links between castle and church encompass three chapters concentrating upon a shared artistic and architectural heritage, the role of the chapel within the castle household, the relationship of castle and church at village level and the importance of noble patronage to the development and power of monasticism. The study concludes with an outline of the various mechanisms that bound the nobility of Yorkshire together and suggests that they controlled their estates through a system of mutual co-operation and strategic patronage. The castle was a major part of this system, but, it is argued, it could not function in isolation and therefore the modern definition of a 'castle' as a fortified residence is misleading. A reinterpretation of the term 'castle' is offered as a final thought.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Who were the Wydeviles? The family arrived with the Conqueror in 1066. As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire. These roles enabled them to meet and work with men who had influence at court. The Wydevile that gave the family their entrée into royal service was Richard (ii), appointed steward to King Edward III’s daughter Isabella and then as steward at the king’s castle of Moor End. His son John (iii) maintained a similar pattern of service within the county and managed to negotiate the difficult years of Richard II’s reign and the usurpation of Henry IV without diminishing the family standing within the county. It was his sons who were to work closely with the royal family. Thomas and Richard (iii) served the Lancastrian royal princes loyally. Richard (iii)’s position led to a knighthood for his son Richard, so that by 1426 the family were at the highest level of the gentry, just below the aristocracy. Accused of being an ignoble family their status is traced from 1066 to the early fifteenth century. In 1448 Sir Richard Wydevile brought the family into the ranks of the nobility through an advantageous marriage. His secret marriage to Jacquetta of Luxembourg, widow of the duke of Bedford made him a member of the royal family, albeit a minor member. This connection led to his creation as lord Rivers in 1448. Rivers continued the family tradition of loyal service to the crown. His service in France and in England enabled him to find suitable marriages for three of his children by 1460/61 into baronial families. Like his great-grandfather Richard (ii), he managed to negotiate a change in king, moving smoothly from service to the Lancastrians to service with the Yorkists under Edward IV. In 1464 his daughter Elizabeth secretly married King Edward IV. It was this second secret marriage that led to the assault on the Wydeviles’ reputation and questioned their status. The political instability of the period required scapegoats each time a king was overthrown. The propaganda this generated is traced to establish if there is any truth in the charges of greed and covetousness made against the Wydeviles.

Thompson, Kathleen Hapgood. « The counts of the Perche, c. 1066-1217 ». Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1996. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/3520/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

The history of the counts of the Perche from c. 1066 to 1217 is considered. It is placed in the historiographical perspective of the disintegration into territorial principalities which took place in the kingdom of the Franks around the year 1000 and the subsequent emergence of small units such as the Perche in border zones, where the authority of the greater princes had never been successfully asserted. An outline of the geography of the Perche is followed by a brief account of the Rotrou lineage. The internal workings of the Perche, which indicate the nature of the Rotrous' power, are considered. Family property is located and comital rights are described, together with the administration by means of which the lineage's wealth and power were exploited. The exercise of lordship over the other landed families of the Perche was an important factor in the smooth running of the county and the association between the counts and the nobility is also discussed. An analysis of the relations between the Perche and its neighbours, the great power blocs of Northern France, forms the third section. The adroit manipulation of these relationships permitted the counts to maintain their independence and to gain access to the resources of the English crown. During the twelfth century the counts were obliged to adapt as the old political rivalries polarised into the struggle between the Capetian and Plantagenet kings. When King John lost Normandy to King Philip Augustus in 1204 the counts' bargaining power was lost because the strategic significance of the county had been destroyed. The failure of the direct line in 1217, which led to the eventual dismemberment of the county when the comital title was extinguished in 1226, demonstrates the importance of the vigorous Rotrou lineage in the creation and continued independence of the Perche.

O'Rourke, Samuel. « Episcopal power in Anglo-Norman England, 1066-1135 ». Thesis, University of East Anglia, 2014. https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/48695/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

The thesis presents an empirical view of episcopal power in England from 1066 to 1135. For simplicity’s sake, ‘power’ is defined as efficacy, or the ability to achieve one’s ends. No formal distinction is made here between ‘power’ and ‘authority’. The bulk of the thesis (Chapters 3-5) consists of three case studies: the first examines the political relationship between bishops, the papacy and the kings of England; the second looks at episcopal landholding; and the third considers disputes between bishoprics and abbeys. These case studies start by asking what bishops did: what their political goals were and the extent to which they achieved them. They then ask how bishops did what they did: what resources bishops deployed; why certain actions were possible; why certain strategies were or were not successful. By doing this it is possible to determine the nature of the power which bishops exercised. Three conclusions emerge: firstly, that episcopal power was highly dependent on royal power in this period; secondly, that the basis of episcopal power was often intangible (ideology or personality), rather than material (land or money); and thirdly, that episcopal power was inherently limited, in that bishops sometimes had very little freedom of action. Chapters 1 and 2 are not case studies. They are concerned with ideals of episcopal power. Chapter 1 shows that ideals of episcopal conduct and episcopal power (as expressed in contemporary hagiography) changed in eleventh-century England. It attempts to link these changes to historical developments in this period. Chapter 2 shows that these changing ideals were reflected in the narrative sources for the episcopate of Anglo-Norman England, but not in the reality of episcopal conduct, and that historians have often been misled by these narrative sources, reproducing a model of episcopal power which was little more than a monastic fantasy.

Yuan, Yinyin. « Statistical inference from large-scale genomic data ». Thesis, University of Warwick, 2009. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/1066/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This thesis explores the potential of statistical inference methodologies in their applications in functional genomics. In essence, it summarises algorithmic findings in this field, providing step-by-step analytical methodologies for deciphering biological knowledge from large-scale genomic data, mainly microarray gene expression time series. This thesis covers a range of topics in the investigation of complex multivariate genomic data. One focus involves using clustering as a method of inference and another is cluster validation to extract meaningful biological information from the data. Information gained from the application of these various techniques can then be used conjointly in the elucidation of gene regulatory networks, the ultimate goal of this type of analysis. First, a new tight clustering method for gene expression data is proposed to obtain tighter and potentially more informative gene clusters. Next, to fully utilise biological knowledge in clustering validation, a validity index is defined based on one of the most important ontologies within the Bioinformatics community, Gene Ontology. The method bridges a gap in current literature, in the sense that it takes into account not only the variations of Gene Ontology categories in biological specificities and their significance to the gene clusters, but also the complex structure of the Gene Ontology. Finally, Bayesian probability is applied to making inference from heterogeneous genomic data, integrated with previous efforts in this thesis, for the aim of large-scale gene network inference. The proposed system comes with a stochastic process to achieve robustness to noise, yet remains efficient enough for large-scale analysis. Ultimately, the solutions presented in this thesis serve as building blocks of an intelligent system for interpreting large-scale genomic data and understanding the functional organisation of the genome.

Gobbo, Andrea. « The making of consumer decisions : revisiting the notions of evaluation and choice by reconstructing consumer habits through subject evidence based ethnography ». Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2014. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1066/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This research is concerned with processes of choice in consumers and models of consumer behaviour. It also envisages a broader contribution towards economics in general to clarify how preferences in economic agents arise and change. The research question is: “are the models and factors of evaluation predicted by experts applicable to real cases?” Factors of value and evaluation processes will be observed in real world participants and in everyday behaviour. The results will be compared to models found in the consumer research literature. The fieldwork will focus on a single activity carried out by a sample of consumers: shoe buying behaviour. The first set of data is drawn from 11+11 open ended interviews of participants chosen in the two complementary groups of experts and consumers for the purpose of construal identification. The second stream of data relies on an ethnographic approach that involves recording first-person experiences by use of a miniature camera applied at eye-level, or “subcam” (17 participants). The recordings are analysed in order to reconstruct the choice processes through content analysis of events. The third stream of data in the research is produced by means of replay interviews conducted on those same participants who produced the subjective recordings (selection of 12 participants). Using a first-person ethnographic method allowed: (i) A more exact tracking of the actions involved in the choice process versus standard participant observation or in-shop surveillance cameras, (ii) intersubjective post-hoc account of the recorded activity and, (iii) elicitation of reflective rationalization from the participants in narrative form. The material collected at this step underwent a special kind of process analysis involving memory registers. Findings suggest the need to re-rank factors typically considered for choice in consumer behaviour. A fundamental rebalancing of weight must be attributed to habits versus rational evaluation as long-term factor of choice. Equally short-term factors, like emotions and attitudes, acquire distinctive significance in connection with environmental cues that are susceptible to trigger their repetition in future shopping episodes. The contribution to methodology is twofold. The empirical component extends the use of firstperson ethnographic methods to self-reporting of consumer activities in addition to introspective and survey methods. Activity reconstruction led to amending consumer behaviour models by including the influence of social environment found in installation theory.

Résumé :

This thesis examines the uses of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts in the 150 years immediately following the Norman Conquest. By focusing on the most common types of use evident in the manuscripts, it explores how readers actually interacted with books. It also treats manuscripts as cultural artefacts through which it is possible to observe the literary and social consequences of the Conquest. The Introduction summarises our current understanding of the literary culture of this transitional period. Chapter II, ‘Destruction and Conservation’, examines claims that Norman elites destroyed Anglo-Saxon manuscripts; finding these claims unjustified, it investigates the circumstances in which manuscripts were lost and identifies how readers evaluated the contents of pre-Conquest books. Chapter III, ‘The Movement of Pre-Conquest Manuscripts’, looks at the consequent loan, exchange and sale of pre-Conquest manuscripts after 1066. Chapter IV, ‘Updating Pre-Conquest Manuscripts’, discusses difficulties which Norman readers encountered with pre-Conquest books, including script, abbreviation, orthography and textual redaction, and examines how these technical features could be modernised. It also investigates more practical modernisations to liturgical books, chronicles and cartularies. Chapter V, ‘Glossing and Annotating’, concerns readers’ reactions to the texts found in pre-Conquest manuscripts, particularly vernacular homilies and translations. It argues that the post-Conquest classroom was essentially trilingual, though Latin became the lingua franca. Chapter VI, ‘Record-Keeping in Pre-Conquest Manuscripts’, explores the use of pre-Conquest manuscripts – copies of the gospels, liturgical books and patristic texts – as repositories for records. Chapter VII, ‘The Veneration of Pre-Conquest Manuscripts’, continues this exploration of the symbolic capital of pre-Conquest books by examining how Norman churchmen supported the veneration of particular manuscripts as secondary relics, and introduced new traditions regarding other books. The Conclusion refocuses the findings of this thesis on two key issues: early medieval reading practices and English literature between 1066 and 1200.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Challenging the myth and stereotype of the 'medieval minstrel', Musicians in English Royal and Noble Households 1066-1327 aims to uncover England's most accomplished musicians, composers and lyricists and reveals the extraordinary social mobility of this overlooked stratum of society. The thesis explores three strands of the musician experience: life at court, life in the noble household and life at home-the private li ves of musicians. Among aspects of musicians' professional and personal lives explored in the thesis are relationships with patrons, roles as virtuosi performers and propagandists, liveries, wages, annuities, pensions, retirement, gifts, accumulation of wealth, involvement in war, involvement in crime, family and children, private residences, legal disputes, religious patronage, endowments, property investments and social standing. Long overshadowed by the acclaimed troubadour and trouvere legacy and separated from association with their compositions, Musicians in. English Royal and Noble Households 1066-1327 tackles the misconceptions which have consigned the English musician and his legacy into obscurity and allows this largely unknown and extraordinary profession to emerge from the shadows of long-perpetuated myth.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

The purpose of this thesis is to determine the popularity of the cult of Edward the Confessor during the period 1066-1399. The first chapter examines the history behind Edward's canonisation. Two elements make it noteworthy: it was the first papal canonisation of an Englishman, and it required two petitions. Because of the monarchy's prominent role in Edward's canonisation, Chapter Two concentrates on royal patronage of the cult. The major obstacle in attaining a clear understanding of the nature of royal devotion to the cult is the monarchy's use of Westminster Abbey, site of Edward's tomb, for royal ceremonies. Chapter Three charts Westminster Abbey's role in the promotion of the saint and his impact in other English ecclesiastical establishments. After discerning the influence of the cult, the focus shifts to secular and hagiographical documents which presented the king. The importance of the documents is that they record any changes in the perception of Edward. Chapter Four looks at the four main vitae written about Edward and detects a metamorphosis in the presentation, deviating from traditional hagiographical forms to a more fantastic, almost fictional account of the king. Chapter Five examines two other types of sources: works produced or commissioned by those who promoted Edward's sanctity and the chronicles which include Edward's reign in their texts. Both types of sources confirm Chapter Four's conclusion that as time passed, Edward became a mythological figure. Chapter Six compares the presentation of Edward with those of political and royal saints in the mid-thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and finds that the king is an unusual picture of both royal and English sanctity. This study of Edward's cult concludes that though it was used for various political ends and some stories of the saint became popular legends, the cult never attained a popular status.

Résumé :

This study examines the archaeological reflections of group identity and socio-economic networks in the region of Essex and London in the Anglo-Saxon period, between c.400 and 1066. Given its location in the south-east of England, Essex was a key zone of socio-political interaction during the early medieval period. This doctoral research has brought together the stray and excavated archaeological material from the region for the first time. The thesis presented here is centred on diachronic, quantified distributional analyses of three key material culture classes: dress accessories, pottery, and coinage. The discussion synthesises the results of these analyses, examining the observed patterns within their broader archaeological context. The thesis reveals the emergence of a hybrid dress style in the 5th and 6th centuries. This appears to have been actively created in Essex to reflect a diverse cultural inheritance, but not a specific ethnic identity. However, from the mid-7th century these styles were rejected in favour of dynamic fashions, reflecting the maritime focus of the region, and especially links with the Merovingian/Carolingian Continent. From the later 9th century, Scandinavian dress and cultural practice are also apparent, particularly in north Essex This Continental orientation reflects the emergence and transformation of the North Sea network. The engagement of Essex communities with this network is studied in detail in this thesis. The coinage and pottery analyses reveal the emergence of several exchange hubs along the North Sea coast, as well as a generalized engagement with long-distance exchange among coastal communities. This system was disrupted, but not destroyed, by the Vikings, who linked Essex with wider Scandinavian networks. However, the long-term pattern shows the decline of coastal sites in favour of urban centres from the later 9th century.

Résumé :

In this thesis, the sources considered suitable for the study of inheritance were reviewed, and a theoretical model for a system of customary inheritance was developed. The study divides into two part seach relating either to the sources or to the model. The first part of the thesis re-evaluates the traditional divisions of sources for the study of inheritance and devises new divisions for use in this study. The second part of the thesis uses these new divisions in developing a model for the operation of inheritance and discusses the role of these sources in relation to that model. In place of the traditional division of source material for the study of inheritance, a system was devised consisting of two broad areas: Wills and Additional Documents. The area of Wills was divided into the following headings: Written Wills, Oral Declarations, Category A, B, or C Lost Wills, and Grants made while Dying. Additional Documents included the following material: Reference to an Inheritance, Reference to Property Descent, and Documents relevant to the nature of wills. The merits and limitations of these sources were discussed with reference to their preservation whether as single sheet contemporary copies or in cartularies. The theoretical model for a system of customary inheritance is relatively simple. The relationship between that system and the sources alters the traditional perspective on those sources with the result that the evidence from written wills is seen as supplemental rather than central to the study of inheritance. From this new perspective, it becomes apparent that the property donated inside wills represents only a portion of a donor's total possessions and that in the operation of the customary inheritance system, male donees are preferred as the recipients of landed property.

Résumé :

This work is concerned with the comparative study of three minster churches, those of Beverley, Ripon and Southwell, in the period 1066-c1300. It will seek to establish the course of their institutional development in the period, the role they played within the Archdiocese of York, and the effects of change in this period on their institutional identities both individually and collectively. As a study of non-cathedral institutions after the Conquest, it will also necessarily touch upon the relationship between central and local power, the dynamics of institutional change, and the mechanisms employed for the extension of archiepiscopal authority.

Résumé :

Le gouvernement central en Angleterre établit une série de règlements sur le travail pour tenter d'endiguer la crise provoquée par la perte de presque la moitié de la population suite à la Peste noire de 1348-49. Alors que ce genre de règlement n'avait existé qu'au niveau local auparavant, la régulation du marché du travail devint une caractéristique marquante du gouvernement central en Angleterre pendant des siècles après. Si les autorités séculières partout en Europe promulguèrent des ordonnances similaires pour répondre à la même crise, la politique du travail mise en place en Angleterre était unique dans les méthodes adoptées pour réglementer les activités économiques et dans son évolution. Les ordonnances sur le travail et les sources judiciaires qui attestent de leur application ont fait l'objet de nombreuses études, mais aucune n'a analysé comment les premières mesures, qui établirent un précédent important pour une nouvelle politique centrale, furent conçues et rédigées. Cette étude cherche à combler cette lacune dans l'historiographie en examinant en détail le contexte théorique, économique et social précis dans lequel cette législation fut développée, en analysant les diverses manières dont les autorités centrales et locales en Angleterre et ailleurs en Europe régulaient l'économie avant la Peste, en suivant l'évolution de ces premières mesures et en les comparant avec des tentatives de contrôler le marché de travail face à une crise similaire sur le continent. Elle met en relief la genèse d'une politique du travail, une caractéristique essentielle des Etats modernes, et évalue l'impact de la Peste noire sur le processus
Immediately after the Black Death of 1348-49, the central government in England established a series of labour regulations in an attempt to limit the effects of the crisis caused by the loss of almost half of the population. Although this sort of regulation had existed only at the local level prior to the epidemic, establishing labour legislation became a main function of the central government for centuries afterwards. If secular authorities everywhere in Europe enacted similar statutes in response to the same crisis, English labour policy was unique in its approach to regulating economic activity and in its evolution. Labour ordinances and the court records that attest to their enforcement have been studied by many historians, but none has analysed how these first measures, which established an important precedent for all subsequent central labour legislation, were conceived and drafted. This study seeks to fill the gap in the historiography by examining in detail the precise conceptual, economic and social context in which this legislation was developed, by investigating various ways in which central and local authorities in England and elsewhere in Europe regulated economic activity prior to the plague, by tracing the development of this first series of measures and by comparing them with attempts to control the labour market faced with a similar crisis on the continent. This study reveals the emergence of central labour policy in England, a primary characteristic of modem states, and evaluates the impact of the Black Death on the process

Résumé :

La cirugía radical como único tratamiento en carcinomas escamosos de cabeza y cuello (CECC) ha sido substituida por protocolos que permiten preservar la función del órgano como la quimioradioterapia (QRT) concomitante y la quimioterapia de inducción (QTI) seguida de radioterapia (RT) / quimioradioterapia o cirugía. El objetivo general de este proyecto de tesis es identificar marcadores moleculares en biopsias pre-tratamiento de CECC localmente avanzado que permitan predecir la evolución clínica del paciente. En este sentido, hemos llevado a cabo dos estudios independientes. En el primero hemos analizado los niveles de expresión de los genes Ku70, K80 y DNA-PKcs del sistema de reparación no homóloga por unión de extremos en biopsias pre-tratamiento de pacientes con CECC tratados con quimioterapia de inducción seguida de RT/QRT o cirugía. En el segundo hemos realizado un estudio de microarrays de expresión para determinar que genes y procesos biológicos están implicados en la respuesta tumoral en pacientes localmente avanzados tratados con QTI seguida de RT/QRT o cirugía, o con quimioradioterapia desde un inicio. Los resultados del primer estudio muestran que los tumores con una respuesta a QTI superior al 50% presentan niveles de expresión de Ku70, tanto de mRNA como de proteína, mayores que los tumores con una respuesta inferior al 50%. Además los pacientes con tumores con niveles de expresión de Ku70 elevados tienen una supervivencia libre de recidiva local (SLRL) y una supervivencia global (SG) mayor que los pacientes con tumores que expresan bajos niveles de dicho marcador. En el segundo estudio hemos identificado tres subtipos de tumores con diferencias en la evolución clínica de los pacientes. Los pacientes con tumores del cluster 1 tienen mayor SLRL y SG que el resto de los pacientes. Su perfil de expresión muestra que presentan una mayor capacidad de migración e invasividad, características de transición epitelio mesénquima, sobre-activación de la vía secretora y un menor grado de diferenciación celular. Los pacientes con tumores del cluster 3 tienen una evolución clínica favorable, presentan una SG y SLRL mayor que el resto de los pacientes. Entre sus características destacan un menor grado de diferenciación celular y una sobre-expresión de genes localizados en las regiones cromosómica 1q21 y 19q13. Los pacientes con tumores del cluster 2 tienen una evolución clínica intermedia ya que presentan una SLRL similar a los del cluster 3 y una SG similar a los del cluster 1. Hemos identificado una serie de marcadores de mal pronóstico (tirosina sulfotransferasa, trombospondina 1, liprina-beta1, fibronectina IIIB y alfa1-prolil-4-hidroxilasa) cuyo mayor expresión aumenta el riego de recidiva local a los 2 años y el riesgo de muerte a los 3 años de seguimiento. También hemos identificado una serie de marcadores de buen pronóstico (Oxidasa dual 1, LYPD3 y GTPasa Rab25) cuya mayor expresión disminuye el riesgo de recidiva local y muerte de los pacientes.
Induction chemotherapy (IC), followed by radiotherapy (RT) / chemoradiotherapy (CRT) or surgery, and concomitant CRT are commonly used to treat locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The objective of this thesis-project is to identify molecular markers in pre-treatment HNSCC biopsies associated with clinical outcome in patients with advanced stage. We have conducted two independent studies. In the first study, we have evaluated the relationship between Ku80, Ku70 or DNA PKcs expression in pre-treatment tumor biopsies, and tumor response in patients treated with IC, followed by RT / CRT or surgery. In the second analysis, we have performed a microarray study to identify genes and biological processes associated with tumor response in patients treated with IC, followed by RT / CRT or surgery, or concomitant CRT.

Results of the first study show that tumors with a response to IC higher than 50% have significantly higher mRNA and protein levels for Ku70 than tumors with a response to IC lower than 50%. Moreover, high tumor Ku70 expression was associated with significantly longer local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS).

In the second microarray study we have identified three tumor subtypes with differences in patient outcome. Patients with tumor subtype1 have a shorter LRLS and OS. These tumors have a higher migration and invasiveness capacity, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, activation of the secretory pathway and lower differentiation grade. Patients with subtype 3 have a longer LRFS and OS. These tumors have a higher differentiation grade and overexpress genes located on chromosome 1q21 and 19q13.

Moreover, we have identified a minimum set of genes (TPST1, THBS1, PPF1BP1, FNDC3B, P4HA1, DUOX1, LYPD3 y RAB25) associated with local recurrence and patient survival.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Induced molting is process used by commercial producers to extend the reproductive life of a laying hen. Typically, producers deprive hens of feed for a period of 7-14 days while reducing the amount of light exposure to the hens. This allows for regression of the reproductive tract and for a second cycle of egg production to occur. However, induced molting by feed deprivation has been shown to increase the hen's risk of becoming infected with pathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella. This increased risk could mean an increase in contaminated eggs or egg products, which causes concerns for public health. This combined with increasing pressure on egg producers from animal welfare organizations has prompted the investigation of diets that would provide available energy for the hens, while still inducing a molt that is economically advantageous to producers. Alfalfa, provided in meal or pelleted form, provides only 1/2 the metabolizable energy and 1/4 of the calcium required of a laying hen that is reproductively active. Due to the decrease in nutrients, alfalfa was investigated as an alternative to feed deprivation. Studies were conducted to assess egg quality, egg production, consumer acceptance, and hen physiology.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Understanding climatic impacts is important if we are to comprehend the relationship between climate and society. Weather phenomena can have environmental, economical, and social impacts. Drought is the natural hazard that affects people the most. It is also the most complex and least understood. There is no one universally accepted definition for drought which makes its examination difficult. Droughts’ duration is also difficult to determine because it has no clearly defined onset and end. Also, drought varies both geographically and temporally making uniform drought monitoring difficult. Since drought is difficult to monitor and access, drought impacts are often poorly documented. The purpose of this research was to quantify (in dollars) the impacts of drought on Kentucky’s agriculture. Drought has been recorded historically in Kentucky since the late 1800s. According to the Kentucky Climate Center, the most significant drought years occurred in 1930-31, 1940-42, and 1952-55. Analyses of these years are included as well as the most recent significant drought years in 1987-88, 1999- 2000 and 2007. Four of Kentucky’s important commodities, including corn, soybeans, hay, and beef cattle, were examined during the significant drought years. The total state revenue for these commodities was analyzed during severe drought years vs. non-severe drought years. The result of this research identified how much of a deficit severe drought causes on Kentucky revenue for each of these commodities. This research is important to the general public as well as planners and policy makers. Proper documentation of drought impacts will help identify drought vulnerabilities and result in better risk management and mitigation. Key Words: Drought, Agriculture, Impact Assessment

Résumé :

Technological shift has become significant and an area of concern in the health sector with regard to securing health information assets. Health information systems hosting personal health information expose these information assets to ever-evolving threats. This information includes aspects of an extremely sensitive nature, for example, a particular patient may have a history of drug abuse, which would be reflected in the patient’s medical record. The private nature of patient information places a higher demand on the need to ensure privacy. Ensuring that the security and privacy of health information remain intact is therefore vital in the healthcare environment. In order to protect information appropriately and effectively, good information security management practices should be followed. To this end, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published a code of practice for information security management, namely the ISO 27002 (2005). This standard is widely used in industry but is a generic standard aimed at all industries. Therefore it does not consider the unique security needs of a particular environment. Because of the unique nature of personal health information and its security and privacy requirements, the need to introduce a healthcare sector-specific standard for information security management was identified. The ISO 27799 was therefore published as an industry-specific variant of the ISO 27002 which is geared towards addressing security requirements in health informatics. It serves as an implementation guide for the ISO 27002 when implemented in the health sector. The publication of the ISO 27799 is considered as a positive development in the quest to improve health information security. However, the question arises whether the ISO 27799 addresses the security needs of the healthcare domain sufficiently. The extensive use of the ISO 27002 implies that many proponents of this standard (in healthcare), now have to ensure that they meet the (assumed) increased requirements of the ISO 27799. The purpose of this research is therefore to conduct a comprehensive comparison of the ISO 27002 and ISO 27799 standards to determine whether the ISO 27799 serves the specific needs of the health sector from an information security management point of view.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Psychologists have studied self-recognition in human infants as an indication of self-knowledge (Amsterdam, 1972) and the development of abstract thought processes. Gallup (1970) modified the mark test used in human infant work to examine if nonhuman primates showed similar evidence of mirror self-recognition. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and orangutans (Pongo pygmnaeus) pass the mirror self-recognition test with limited mirror training or exposure. Other species of primates, such as gorillas and monkeys, have not passed the mirror test, despite extensive mirror exposure and training (Gallup, 1979). This project examined a gorilla (G. gorilla gorilla) named Otto in the traditional mark test. Using the modified mark-test, there were more incidents of touching the marked area while Otto was in front of the mirror than when he was not in front of the mirror. These results indicated that Otto was able to show some evidence of selfawareness.

Résumé :

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
In this work, we investigate methods for computing explicitly with homomorphisms (and particularly endomorphisms) of Jacobian varieties of algebraic curves. Our principal tool is the theory of correspondences, in which homomorphisms of Jacobians are represented by divisors on products of curves. We give families of hyperelliptic curves of genus three, five, six, seven, ten and fifteen whose Jacobians have explicit isogenies (given in terms of correspondences) to other hyperelliptic Jacobians. We describe several families of hyperelliptic curves whose Jacobians have complex or real multiplication; we use correspondences to make the complex and real multiplication explicit, in the form of efficiently computable maps on ideal class representatives. These explicit endomorphisms may be used for efficient integer multiplication on hyperelliptic Jacobians, extending Gallant--Lambert--Vanstone fast multiplication techniques from elliptic curves to higher dimensional Jacobians. We then describe Richelot isogenies for curves of genus two; in contrast to classical treatments of these isogenies, we consider all the Richelot isogenies from a given Jacobian simultaneously. The inter-relationship of Richelot isogenies may be used to deduce information about the endomorphism ring structure of Jacobian surfaces; we conclude with a brief exploration of these techniques.

Résumé :

Despite work-life balance being an area of interest to many researchers, there is little reference to any effects related specifically to elder care. Current demographics indicate that the proportion of elderly in the community is increasing, and with greater workforce participation (particularly among women workers) the availability of family caregivers is less guaranteed. Women are more likely to be responsible for elder care, and as they seek to manage their work and life, are also more likely to seek workplace flexibility, sometimes through self-employment. The effect that elder care may be having on the work-life balance of self-employed women is the focus of this research project. Using work-family border theory as a lens, this research documented the effect that elder care had on the lives of a group of self-employed women who also had elder care responsibilities. Eight women from the Wellington region participated in this research, which was carried out from a broadly phenomenological perspective. Each participant shared information, using a case study approach, about their business and elder care responsibilities. The results of this research indicate the profound effect of emotions in the elder care situation, and also the effect of expectations from others whose influences affected the ability of the participants to achieve work-life balance.

Résumé :

A microwave enhanced advanced oxidation process using hydrogen peroxide (MW/H₂O₂-AOP) was used for the release of nutrients and the destruction of solids from secondary municipal sewage sludge. The significant factors affecting the MW/H₂O₂-AOP that would yield maximum soluble substrates were studied. Using a computer statistical software package for experimental design and data analysis, four factors including microwave heating temperature, heating time, hydrogen peroxide dosage, and sludge solids content, were selected and examined. The initial sludge TS content and hydrogen peroxide dosage were the most significant factors for the solubilization of COD and nutrients release under the experimental conditions selected in this study. Overall, the maximum solubilization of nutrients was obtained at 2.5 % of total solids content, 2% of hydrogen peroxide by weight, 5 min. of microwave heating and 120 ºC. The effects of combination of microwave treatment and oxidative reagents on solids destruction and nutrients release were also investigated. Microwave enhanced advanced oxidation processes (MW-AOP), such as MW/O₃, MW/H₂O₂ and MW/H₂O₂/O₃, were conducted at 100 °C. In terms of nutrients release and solids reduction, the MW/H₂O₂/O₃-AOP yielded the best result. Subsequently, three factors including microwave heating temperature, hydrogen peroxide dosage, and ozone dosage, were investigated. The best result, in terms of the release of phosphate and ammonia, and solids reduction, was obtained with additions of 2 % hydrogen peroxide by weight and ozone dosage of 5.09 mg/ml, and operating at 120ºC. About 95%, 32% and 78% of TP, TKN and COD were released into the solution, respectively. The microwave enhanced advanced oxidation processes, with and without an addition of ferrous sulfate (MW/H₂O₂-AOP and MW/H₂O₂/Fe+²-AOP), were also studied for reducing solids, and solubilizing nutrients from the secondary sewage sludge. For the MW/H₂O₂/Fe+²-AOP, the best results of solubilization, in terms of orthophosphate, ammonia and soluble chemical oxygen demand, were obtained at treatment temperatures of 40 ºC, the yields decreased as the temperature was increased. The highest yields of solubilization were obtained at 60 ºC for orthophosphate, and at 80 ºC for both ammonia and soluble chemical oxygen demand.

Résumé :

Cleft palate is one of the most common birth abnormalities. Figures published in 2006 by the American Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, report the incidence of those born in the United States with a cleft palate without the presence of a cleft lip (CPI) to be 6.39 for every 10000 in the three years between 1999 to 2001 and for cleft lip in association with a cleft palate (CLP) to be even greater - 10.48 per 10000 live births. In 2001, Braybrook and colleagues reported that mutations in the TBX22 gene cause X-linked cleft palate (CPX), a disease characterised by a cleft of the secondary palate and is often seen in association with ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) (Braybrook et al. 2001). A cleft of the secondary palate arises as a consequence of disturbance to correct development during palatogenesis: an anomaly in palatal shelf growth; delayed or failed shelf elevation; defective shelf fusion or a failure of medial edge epithelium cell death. This thesis reveals that the expression of TBX22 during these key developmental events in human embryos is consistent with the phenotype seen in CPX. To enable an investigation for TBX22 target genes, a DNA binding sequence is determined for the TBX22 protein. This sequence is used to generate a generic TBX22 DNA binding site, the presence of which is screened for in promoter regions, defined as 2kb upstream of transcription start sites. 132 genes were selected as candidate TBX22 targets on the basis that they underlie human disorders that include a cleft palate. The screen shows that 28 of these genes have at least one perfect or near perfect match to the generic TBX22 DNA binding site. Of these, only two both contained a perfect TBX22 generic DNA binding site and mouse mutants also had cleft palates: SUMO1 and MSX1. Interaction between SUMO1 and TBX22 has already been shown (Andreou et al. 2007). This study investigated MSX1 as a downstream target of TBX22 using a luciferase reporter gene construct in vitro. The results showed that in the presence of TBX22, the luciferase signal was reduced and support MSX1 being a downstream target gene of TBX22. These findings further the understanding of the molecular networks regulating craniofacial development. Unravelling these complex interactions is crucial to identifying the mechanisms of oro-facial clefting, important steps towards improved methods of counselling, treatment and prevention of these common birth disorders.

Résumé :

This study attempts to answer the question of why some children fail while others succeed in the first year of school when they appear to have at least average abilities and to come from family environments which seem, on the surface at least, to provide similar developmental opportunities. The researcher observed in ten, four-year-old children's homes over a period of four days for each child and followed these intensive home observations with three-monthly, informal interviews with adult family members. Each child was observed in school intensively, on entry to school and every three months following entry until six years of age. Informal interviews were conducted with the class teachers every three months. During the 'intensive' home and school observations continuous hand-written narrative recordings of natural communication incidents were made of all the oral language and activities of the focal child, and of the language and activities of other children and adults when what they said and did was in the vicinity of the focal child. Notes were made of the location, atmosphere, body language, people present, and focal objects throughout the time of the observations. Field notes were made each night after every home, school or pre-school visit. Each child was tested with a battery of tests on entry into school at five years, at five-and-a-half years and at six years. The gathering of these different data meant a wide variety of information about the child's total ecological environment was gathered. A variety of ways for examining the data for a relationship between the behaviours and social experience of the child which occurred at home and measures of achievement in school were explored. These included a variety of language variables (e. g. exposure to question types, statement types, amount of talk) and measures of variables related to socia-economic status and home environmental factors (e.g. the HOME Scale, Caldwell & Bradley, 1979). Al though some of these variables were significantly correlated with school achievement, it was not clear that the problem of why some children succeeded in school while others failed had been satisfactorily solved. A more detailed analysis of the data was carried out which differed from most other psychological or educational studies in that it focused on the underlying structures of the natural socio-linguistic patterns of interaction in both home and school first year classrooms. The task was to describe observable social interaction in terms of the underlying structures which characterised the home subcultural experience of the children and the sub-cultural learning (acculturation) required of the children in order to successfully adapt to the school environment. The theory generated to explain this complex problem was adapted from a theory sometimes termed script theory, or schema theory. It was developed into a framework which could deal with both children's present school experience and the children's past experience of the structure of meaningful social interactions. The results showed that the underlying structure of patterns of interaction (schema) which the children brought with them from home to school did indeed cause failure for some children at school. The children's experience of patterns of interaction in the homes which were like school patterns of interaction correlated 0.91 with achievement in school. The greater the variety of school-like patterns of interaction occurring in the homes the greater a child's achievement rate was likely to be. This study has implications for classroom organisation, for the structure of classroom patterns of interaction and for young people who come from home ecological environments which are significantly different from the present classroom environment. It is argued that children are our nation's most important resource and we need to examine with great care what we are doing to promote alternative classroom environments.

Résumé :

The overall objective of this study is to assess the assertive behaviour of social workers. The dissertation consists of five sections. Section A refers to the problem statement, research objectives and procedures that were followed. Furthermore the limitations of the research report were discussed, definitions of key terms given and the framework of the research report given. The problem statement can be condensed as follows: Social workers are assertive in relation to their client management, but not in relation to their personal needs which are affected within their profession. This can lead to burnout/stress in the social work profession. The problem statement leads to two research aims. "Developmental Research and Utilization"-model (DR&U-model) was used as well as the research model. Literature studies were conducted on the themes of assertive behaviour, burnout and stress. Section B consists of two articles that form the report about research outcomes. Each article is treated as a self-contained entity, which focuses on specific research aims undertaken based on unique research methods. The two articles are: Article 1: The nature of assertive behaviour The aim of this article is to assess the nature and extent of assertive behaviour. Assertive behaviour is defined and common concepts identified by means of a literature overview. Attention is further given to the nature of burnout as well as the correlation between burnout and assertive behaviour. The influence of assertive behaviour is divided into the psychological influence, physical influence and social influence as well as occupational influence. Several factors influence assertive behaviour. In this regard self-image, norms and values, verbal and non-verbal communication are discussed. Lastly the focus is placed on the importance and role of assertive behaviour in the social work profession. Article 2: Assertive behaviour of social workers The aim of this article is to assess the nature of assertive behaviour in social workers. Attention is given to social workers' assertive behaviour in general and also individually in relation to their clients, colleagues, supervisor, other professionals and the community. Attention is also given to the extent of burnout social workers are experiencing and the relationship between feelings of burnout and assertive behaviour of social workers. Two self developed questionnaires were distributed to and completed by social workers in the North-West province as measuring instruments which evaluated their assertive behaviour as well as the extent of burnout and job stress these social workers experienced in their different occupational fields. In section C a summary is provided of the most important findings and conclusions of the entire research project. Further recommendations are discussed. Section D consists of the appendices to the research report Section E contains the compound list of sources.

Résumé :

The United States has a long history of doing things differently than other countries. Its accounting standards are no different; to date, it continues to use its own Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and have yet to converge to the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as set by the International Accounting Standards Board. In 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Chairman Christopher Cox published a press release in which the SEC published for public comment a roadmap towards convergence by 2014. However, in subsequent years, Memorandum of Understandings published by the IASB and the United States' Financial Accounting Standards Boards ("FASB") pushed back the date of implementation at each publication. As a result, the convergence efforts have been stalling greatly. It is very unlikely that the U.S. will ever completely converge to IFRS as the financial costs and obstacles to convergence are not insignificant. Not only will the costs of implication be great, but also the costs of training and education of auditors and accountants. It is not feasible for the U.S. to converge with IFRS in the near future, as the benefits most countries obtain through convergence such as increased quality of financial statements will not be realized. As such, this paper seeks to prove why IFRS convergence will not be realized in the United States.

Following widespread concern over an apparent decline in the mathematical skills of engineering students, this study employed survey and observation methods to investigate the ways in which engineering students understand mathematical concepts, and to compare these with the concepts held-by students of mathematics. It was found that the engineering students employ a different vocabulary from mathematics students in discussing mathematics, and that their understanding of mathematical concepts develops differently from mathematics students both in response to teaching (which appears to be a transitory effect) and as their experience gives meaning to the ideas in life outside study. These findings are important in two ways. We need to make the mathematics teachers of engineering students aware of the language and concepts of their students so that the possibility of mutual misunderstanding is reduced, and we as educators need to help engineering students to make these connections in order to ground their mathematics in reality and to use mathematics an Instrument for understanding the world. Compared with the classical mathematical modelling paradigm and the classical empirical modelling paradigm, the method used by engineering students was found to be a hybrid based on the Identification of the type of problem and the application of a "preexisting law. Some misconceptions concerning the behaviour of beams In bending were found to be widely held, by respondents with a range of levels of experience. Whereas the particular misconceptions are not Important in themselves. It Is salutary to realise that expertise in one area of study does not necessarily Inoculate one against misconceptions In a closely related area. A software package was written using the context of mathematical modelling to help students relate concepts In calculus to physical situations. This package was found not to engage the students sufficiently to provoke cognitive change, and suggests that a higher degree of Interactivity Is needed.

Atualmente fala-se muito sobre a cidadania da pessoa com necessidades educacionais especiais (NEE) e seus direitos e deveres para com a sociedade. Ou seja, discutem-se questões a respeito do espaço que lhe compete como cidadão integrado socialmente. Diante desta problemática, esta dissertação tem como objetivo geral analisar se e como as Tecnologias Assistivas, utilizadas no Centro de Apoio Pedagógico para Atendimento à Pessoa com Deficiência Visual de Boa Vista Roraima, contribuem para a aprendizagem dos conteúdos de Química no Ensino Médio. Busca, também, averiguar a utilização das Tecnologias Assistivas como recursos pedagógicos para aprendizagem dos conteúdos de Química de alunos com deficiência visual no Centro de Apoio de Deficiência Visual e sua repercussão nas Escolas Estaduais de Boa Vista em que estudam estes alunos. Utilizou-se como processo metodológico a pesquisa descritiva através de técnicas padronizadas de coleta de dados a partir de questionários e entrevistas, tendo sua abordagem de natureza qualitativa. A pesquisa foi realizada com os alunos deficientes visuais que estão no Ensino Médio e que frequentam o Centro de Apoio Pedagógico para Atendimento à Pessoa com Deficiência Visual na disciplina de Química, com os professores de Química que atendem neste Centro e com os das Escolas Estaduais. Os resultados apontaram que este Centro de Apoio promove “um universo” de possibilidades e de acesso a novos conhecimentos através do uso das Tecnologias Assistivas que auxiliam os alunos deficientes visuais nas atividades educacionais, estimulando o potencial cognitivo e favorecendo a socialização e a aprendizagem. Em relação à disciplina de Química, contribui para o desenvolvimento dos conhecimentos químicos dos alunos de forma mais igualitária e dinâmica. Quanto ao curso ministrado aos professores, constatou-se que a formação continuada possibilita a reflexão e o crescimento tanto pessoal como profissional e a mudança de práticas pedagógicas excludentes.
There is, currently, a great discussion about the citizenship of the person with special educational needs (SEN) and their rights and duties towards society. That is, issues about that one’s space as a socially integrated citizen are usually debated. On this problem, this dissertation generally aims to analyze whether and how Assistive Technologies used in the Center for Educational Support Service for People with Visual Impairment of Boa Vista, Roraima, contribute to the learning of Chemistry contents in high school, as well as investigate in which terms the use of Assistive Technologies as an educational resource contribute for students with visual disabilities at the Center for Support of Visually Impaired’s chemistry learning, and its effect on state schools of Boa Vista, where these students study. As a methodological process, descriptive research was used through standard techniques of collecting data from questionnaires and interviews, with a qualitative approach. The survey was conducted with visually impaired students who are in high school and attend the Center for Educational Support Service for People with Visual Impairment for the chemistry subject, as well as chemistry teachers who work at this center and at State Schools. The results indicated that this Support Center promotes a "universe" of possibilities and access to new knowledge through the use of Assistive Technologies which help the visually impaired students in educational activities stimulating cognitive potential and promoting socialization and learning. Regarding the discipline of chemistry, it promotes the students’ development of chemical knowledge in a more egalitarian and dynamic way. Regarding the course taught by the teachers, it was found that continuing education allows reflection and personal growth both as a professional and pedagogical change of exclusionary practices.

Résumé :

Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Qualidade.
Actualmente os cidadãos exigem e esperam mais e melhores serviços prestados pelo sector público, daí que a resposta deva ser rápida e eficiente, de modo a agilizar processos, facilitar o seu acesso e proporcionar elevados padrões de qualidade. Como tal, a avaliação do desempenho organizacional e da qualidade do serviço prestado deverá ser aferida através da análise da satisfação dos cidadãos/clientes. Sendo certo que Administração Autárquica é aquela que se encontra mais próxima do cidadão, será interessante analisar os factores que contribuem para a sua satisfação e de que forma os munícipes usam os instrumentos consagrados constitucionalmente (direito de voto e de reclamação) para manifestarem o seu agrado ou descontentamento. É neste contexto que o presente estudo se centra na seguinte questão: Será que existem diferenças significativas ao nível dos antecedentes (imagem, expectativas, valor apercebido e, com destaque particular, a qualidade apercebida,) e consequentes da satisfação (lealdade e reclamações) dos munícipes? Para o efeito, concebeu-se uma estrutura de investigação alicerçada no modelo e nas variáveis latentes do ECSI, à qual adicionou itens dos modelos SERVQUAL, CMT e CAF. O método utilizado foi uma pesquisa quantitativa, de carácter descritivo, sendo alvo de estudo os munícipes que utilizam os serviços prestados pelas Câmaras Municipais que integram a circunscrição geográfica da Associação de Municípios do Vale do Ave, NUTIII/Ave (Vieira do Minho, Póvoa de Lanhoso, Fafe, Guimarães, Vizela, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Cabeceiras de Basto e Mondim de Basto). Os resultados evidenciam que todos estes factores têm um efeito positivo e significativo na satisfação global do munícipe e que há diferenças significativas entre as oito Câmaras Municipais. O presente trabalho contribui para as investigações no domínio da avaliação da qualidade e da satisfação ao nível da Administração Local e sugere que as Câmaras Municipais definam políticas para melhorar a sua imagem institucional, as expectativas dos munícipes e promovam os mecanismos formalmente instituídos para a recolha de reclamações, designadamente incentivando a utilização do livro de reclamações, visando a melhoria contínua dos serviços municipais. Nowadays the citizens demand and expect more and better services from de public sector, so the answer must be quick and effective, in a way to facilitate proceedings and their access and to furnish high quality standards. For that, the evaluation of the organizational performance and the service quality should be gauged through the citizens/customers satisfaction. Being certain that the Council Administration is the one closer to the citizen, it will be interesting to analyse the factors that contribute for his satisfaction and in which way the townsmen use the constitutionally consagrated tools (vote and claim right) to express his pleasure or discontentment. It is in this context that the present study centers itself in the following question: will there be significative differences at the antecedents (image, expectations, known value and, with particular emphasis, known quality) and consequents of the townsmen satisfaction (loyalty and claims)? For this effect, we conceived an investigation structured based on the ECSI model and latent variables and to this structure we joined items of SERVQUAL, CMT and CAF models. The method used was a quantitative research, of a descriptive character, having as target the townsmen that use the city halls services which contemplate the geographical circumscription of the Township Association of Vale do Ave, NUTIII/Ave (Vieira do Minho, Póvoa de Lanhoso, Fafe, Guimarães, Vizela, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Cabeceiras de Basto and Mondim de Basto). The results evidence that all these factors have a positive and significative effect on the townsmen global satisfaction and that there are significative differences between the eight City Halls. This study contributes for the investigations on the domain of assessing the quality and satisfaction at the Local Administration level and it suggests that the City Halls define policies to improve their institutional image, the townsmen expectations and to promote the formally established mechanisms for the gathering of claims, namely motivating the use of complaint book, aiming for the municipal services continued improvement. Actuellement les citoyens exigent et espèrent, du secteur public, des meilleurs et plus nombreux services, donc leur réponse doit être rapide et efficace, pour assouplir les procès, faciliter l’approche et réussir des niveaux supérieurs de qualité. De cette façon, l’évaluation de la performance organisationnelle et de la qualité du service delivré doit être mesuré par l’observation de la satisfaction des citoyens / clients. Considerant que l´Administration Locale a le plus proche rapport avec le citoyen, il sera intéressant de faire l’analyse des facteurs qui produisent leur satisfaction et, en même temps, d’observer l’usage que les citoyens font des instruments consacrés constitutionellemnt (les droits de vote et de réclamation) pour exprimer leur contentement or mécontentement. Dans ce contexte, l’actuelle étude est centrée sur la question suivante: existeront-t-il des profondes différences au niveau des antécédents (l’image, les expectatives, la value aperçue et, en particulier, la qualité aperçue), et des conséquences (la loyalté et des réclamations) de la satisfaction des citoyens? Pour ce but, on a conçu une structure d’investigation fondée dans le modèle et dans les variables latentes do ECSI; auquelle on a ajouté des items des modèles SERVQUAL, CMT e CAF. La méthode utilisée fut une recherche quantitative, descriptive, et l’ object de l’étude furent les citoyens qui utilisent les services des Mairies integrées dans la circonscription géographique de l’Associação de Municípios do Vale do Ave, NUTIII/Ave (Vieira do Minho, Póvoa de Lanhoso, Fafe, Guimarães, Vizela, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Cabeceiras de Basto et Mondim de Basto). Les résultats prouvent que tous ces facteurs provoquent un effet positif et significatif dans la satisfaction globale du citoyen et révélent encore l’existence de différences expressives parmi les huit Mairies. Cette ouvrage donne son contribut pour les recherches au sujet de l’évaluation de la qualité des services et de la satisfaction des citoyens en ce qui concerne l’Administration Locale. Elle conseille encore aux Mairies d’établir un ensemble de politiques efficaces pour réussir une meilleure image institutionelle, favoriser les expectatives des citoyens et pour faire la divulgation des instruments de récueil des réclamations et, en particulier, promouvoir l’utilisation du Livre de Réclamations, en profit de l’ámelioration continuelle des services municipaux.

Résumé :

Em 1999 a Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia aprovou o financiamento do projecto “Behaviour of Heavy Metals on the Thermal Treatment of Residues” cujo acrónimo era Bimetal. Este projecto, cujos parceiros eram o Departamento de Engenharia Energética e Controlo Ambiental do Instituto Nacional de Engenharia e Tecnologia Industrial (INETI) e o Grupo de Disciplinas de Ecologia da Hidrosfera (GDEH) da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, tinha como objectivo a avaliação do comportamento de metais pesados durante a combustão de resíduos. Neste sentido, a equipa do INETI efectuou quatro ensaios de incineração: dois de mono-combustão de uma lama residual urbana, um de co-combustão de lama residual urbana e carvão e, finalmente, um de mono-combustão de carvão. Cada ensaio de incineração produziu uma cinza de fundo e duas cinzas volantes, provenientes de dois ciclones. A equipa do GDEH foi responsável pela caracterização físico-química e ecotoxicológica das cinzas provenientes dos ensaios realizados pela equipa do INETI. A avaliação incidiu em dois aspectos: 1) a determinação da composição das cinzas, relativamente a um dado conjunto de parâmetros físico-químicos considerados; e 2) produção de lixiviados a partir do contacto das cinzas com um agente lixiviante. Estes lixiviados foram submetidos à caracterização físico-química, relativamente a um dado conjunto de parâmetros físico-químicos e, ainda, à caracterização ecotoxicológica, recorrendo a dois indicadores biológicos. A determinação da composição das cinzas permitiu efectuar um balanço de massas dos ensaios de incineração realizados e, com isto, determinar as taxas de emissão, dos parâmetros analisados, para a atmosfera. Os ensaios de lixiviação permitiram classificar, de acordo com a metodologia de classificação de resíduos a que se recorreu, as doze cinzas produzidas pela equipa do INETI e os materiais que lhes deram origem, a areia do leito, o carvão e a lama residual urbana. De um modo geral, as duas cinzas volantes apresentaram uma concentração superior, dos parâmetros considerados, relativamente à cinza de fundo. Entre as duas cinzas volantes, a cinza do 2º ciclone apresentou um maior teor, relativamente aos parâmetros analisados, do que as cinzas do 1º ciclone.
