La marginalisation narrative de la parole féminine populaire dans "Nana" d'Émile Zola.
Creators: name: Diebold, Caroline Andrée.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Literature, Romance.

description: Dans Le Roman expérimental (1880), Émile Zola affirme que «nous [les écrivains] n'av[ons] pas à tirer une conclusion de nos oeuvres, et cela signifie que nos oeuvres portent leur conclusion en elles». Grâce à l'objectivité narrative tant souhaitée de Zola, les personnages évolueraient sans que le narrateur ne porte de jugement. Cette thèse se propose d'étudier le discours populaire des femmes de modeste condition, principalement les prostituées et les comédiennes dans Nana . Le discours du narrateur sera pris en compte dans la mesure où il met en scène tous leurs discours, non pas d'une façon objective, mais avec force de gloses péjoratives qui font de la figure féminine un bouc émissaire. Conscientes de la doxa du patriarcat qui les domine à travers le narrateur, les femmes populaires croient détenir un certain pouvoir par la voie du sexe et d'un discours calqué sur celui des hommes. Nous nous pencherons tant sur les idées reçues quant au sexe, notamment sa construction sociale qui s'articule sur l'opposition masculin/activité et féminin/passivité et d'autres stéréotypes plutôt mythiques que naturalistes, que sur les composantes linguistiques (implicite, sous-entendu, usage de la maxime, style indirect libre) qui condamnent les femmes tout en permettant au narrateur de conserver un semblant d'objectivité.

Tintin

description: Les spectacles tirés des « Aventures de Tintin », tels que Tintin et l’Île Noire en 1983 ou Les Bijoux de la Castafiore en 2011, sont des cas particuliers dans le domaine de l’adaptation théâtrale. D’abord, parce que les œuvres canoniques d’Hergé sont ancrées dans la mémoire collective et, à ce titre, agissent comme une matrice visuelle auprès du grand public, matrice qui modèle ses attentes. Ensuite, parce que Moulinsart, la société qui gère l’image de Tintin, maintient depuis plus de vingt ans une politique conservatrice quant aux droits de reproduction et d’adaptation du corpus d’Hergé. La fidélité à l’œuvre source devient donc quelque chose à négocier pour quiconque voudrait transposer Tintin à la scène, difficultés qui s’ajoutent à celles, plus génériques, d’adapter le langage bédéesque au théâtre.
Responsive units: Behavioral elements for coordination-oriented development of object-oriented systems.
Creators: name: Dumitru, Teodor.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Theoretically, the thesis sustains that in object oriented systems---mainly event driven---(1) the dialog between objects is essential, (2) the dialog implies coordination, (3) a dialog coordination object---that separates coordination from activities---is useful for response design. Practically, it is proposed a design modality based on Responsive Units. It is a model which directly captures the logic of interactions between objects, without much overhead. The approach is an extension (adaptation) of 'Coordination Oriented Design' (COD) towards object orientation. It uses the basic principle of COD of separating coordination from execution. We address the problem that in OO systems, even mono-threaded, the event responses can be only partially defined. This mainly happens because interaction diagrams can capture only a few interaction sequences and because object implementation hardly relates to their behavioral design. An improvement in the definition of event responses would be beneficial, mainly for systems in which the sequence of interactions is complicate to design, but critical. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Die Vielzahl an Situationen, welche im urbanen Straßenverkehr vorkommen, stellt aktuelle Bewegungsplanungsverfahren in automatisierten Fahrzeugen immer noch vor große Herausforderungen. Während die Modellierung zusätzlicher Szenarien für klassische Verfahren oft sehr mühsam ist, erleichtert die kontextbasierte Bewegungsplanung diese Erweiterung. Um dies zu demonstrieren, wird in diesem Beitrag ein bestehendes kontextbasiertes Verfahren um das Überqueren einer Kreuzung mit vernetzter Lichtsignalanlage erweitert. Diese stellt auch prädiktive Informationen zur Verfügung, welche durch die Bewegungsplanung im Fahrzeug gewinnbringend verwendet werden. Das vorgestellte Verfahren wird simulativ und im realen Verkehr evaluiert. Gegenüber einer rein reaktiven Planung zeigen sich dabei deutliche Vorteile.
Le traitement et la probation : le processus du probationnaire et l'obligation de traiter.
Creators: name: Gonçalves, Nadia.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Sociology, Criminology and Penology.

description: La probation est une sanction qui veut permettre la réhabilitation d'un contrevenant en le surveillant dans la communauté. Cette réhabilitation peut aussi inclure un traitement ou un programme afin d'aider le probationnaire à affronter une nouvelle vie, quelle soit une vie sans drogues, un comportement moins violent ou autre. Donc la probation est une sanction, un traitement est un moyen d'aider le probationnaire. Dans un contexte de traitement, la personne traitée a toujours le choix de suivre ou non le traitement. Un traitement ne peut être administré de force. Cependant, un probationnaire doit suivre les conditions stipulées sur son ordonnance de probation et une de ces conditions peut inclure la participation à un traitement. Donc, le probationnaire a-t-il le choix? Ce travail veut donc étudier le trajet du probationnaire à partir du moment ou il entre en probation au moment où il suit un traitement. Nous voulons étudier comment un probationnaire suit cette condition de traitement et voir si ce traitement qui veut aider le probationnaire lui est imposé. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
Naturalism and nonsense: Quine and Wittgenstein on ethics.
Creators: name: Fama, Melissa.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: W. V. Quine's and Ludwig Wittgenstein's (early) ethical views are compared. The aim of the comparison is to show that despite many similarities between the two philosophers' views, their approaches to the subject are fundamentally different. Underlying the points of affinity are two fundamentally different philosophical temperaments. Both put forward complete philosophical structures with which their ethical views are remarkably consistent; both see everything from their own philosophical standpoint. Accordingly, Quine's naturalistic stance and Wittgenstein's transcendental stance are explored in order to expose the deep differences between their ethical views, despite many seeming similarities. Further, it is shown that their ethical views can only be understood when placed within the context of their respective philosophical frameworks. A comparison of Quine and Wittgenstein on ethics, then, reveals many components of the general philosophical positions of two of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, while clarifying their respective ethical views and the deep differences between them.

Fundamental period of vibration for reinforced concrete buildings.
Creators: name: Dominguez Morales, Martha.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: The fundamental period of vibration of buildings is one of the parameters that has a significant influence on the earthquake induced lateral forces. The fundamental period of vibration of reinforced concrete buildings measured during major earthquakes are collected and then compared with the empirical values given in the Uniform Building Code (UBC-97) and the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC-95). Comparisons between measured periods and the current code estimations have shown that the code estimation is inadequate for most of the buildings. Although few researches have been conducted, still there is room left to improve the code formulas. For shear wall buildings, the codes overestimate or underestimate the period of the building considerably. A new formula is proposed in this study to calculate the fundamental period of shear wall buildings. A very good correlation between computed and measured values is obtained. For the moment-resisting frame buildings, the current codes estimation of the fundamental period translate into a conservative values of the design base shear forces. However, when the non-structural elements contribute to the overall stiffness of the building, the code estimation deviates from the measured values substantially. In this research, a study is conducted to evaluate the effect of non-structural elements on the fundamental period of the moment-resisting frame buildings. It is concluded that the fundamental period of the infilled frame is about 25% to 65% of the bare frame's period.
The inhibiting effect of brand salience on brand name recall

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper reports on a replication of Alba and Chattopadhyay's (1986) study of the effects of substantially heightened brand salience upon the recall of competing brand names. Heightened salience was consistently shown to have an inhibiting effect on recall across a variety of experimental conditions. However, in the replication study this salience effect was not observed. Instead a trend in the reverse direction was found. This new finding is congruent with associative network model of memory and its prediction that subjects concentrating on a brand should trigger links in memory to the brand and other brands in the category.

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: The formation of carbon-carbon bonds in an asymmetric manner is a central goal of modern synthetic chemistry. Many methods have been developed to form a variety of linkages and substitutions, however the asymmetric formation of quaternary carbons of spirocycles is still a formidable challenge. These compounds represent special challenges because of the requirement of double ring formation together with the control of facial selectivity during the formation of a quaternary carbon centre. The present work demonstrates our efforts towards establishing a strategy based on the Ireland-Claisen rearrangement as the key step for the synthesis of the quaternary spiro-fused ring system such as those found in iridal triterpenoids. 28-Deacetylbelamcandal, a spiroiridal-type triterpenoid, is a representative compound found in iridaceous plants and shows important biological activities in tumor promotion. The synthesis of this compound has been planned from the methodology currently in progress in our group.

description: Buildings consume resources and energy, contribute to pollution of our air, water and soil, impact the health and well-being of populations and constitute an important part of the built environment in which we live. The ability to assess their design with a view to reducing that impact automatically from their 3D CAD representations enables building design professionals to make informed decisions on the environmental impact of building structures. Contemporary 3D object-oriented CAD files contain a wealth of building information. LCADesign has been designed as a fully integrated approach for automated eco-efficiency assessment of commercial buildings direct from 3D CAD. LCADesign accesses the 3D CAD detail through Industry Foundation Classes (IFCs) - the international standard file format for defining architectural and constructional CAD graphic data as 3D real-world objects - to permit construction professionals to interrogate these intelligent drawing objects for analysis of the performance of a design. The automated take-off provides quantities of all building components whose specific production processes, logistics and raw material inputs, where necessary, are identified to calculate a complete list of quantities for all products such as concrete, steel, timber, plastic etc and combines this information with the life cycle inventory database, to estimate key internationally recognised environmental indicators such as CML, EPS and Eco-indicator 99. This paper outlines the key modules of LCADesign and their role in delivering an automated eco-efficiency assessment for commercial buildings.

description: The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the differences between the many "left" in Latin America and interpret the Argentine case, discussing the usefulness of the concept to describe this political phenomenon. We'll see how far the Kirchner government meets the objectives of the new left and if there is consistency between public policies and their results. Our argument is that the progressive rhetoric of these governments is not accompanied by appropriate public policies or by institutional reforms leading to the establishment of a more democratic and more egalitarian society.

Keywords: Left, democracy, populism, style of government, institutions.

	El objetivo de este articulo es el de trazar un panorama de las diferencias entre las numerosas «izquierdas» latinoamericanas  y de  interpretar el caso argentino, discutiendo la utilidad del concepto para caracterizar este fenómeno político. Veremos en qué medida el gobierno de los Kirchner responde a los objetivos de las nuevas izquierdas y si hay adecuación entre las políticas públicas destinadas a alcanzarlos y sus resultados. Nuestro argumento es que la retórica progresista de sus gobiernos  no se acompaña ni de las políticas públicas adecuadas ni de las reformas institucionales conducentes a la instauración de una sociedad más democrática y más igualitaria.

description: SARS-CoV-2 Omicron rapidly outcompeted other variants and currently dominates the COVID-19 pandemic. Its enhanced transmission and immune evasion are thought to be driven by numerous mutations in the Omicron Spike protein. Here, we systematically introduced BA.1 and/or BA.2 Omicron Spike mutations into the ancestral Spike protein and examined the impacts on Spike function, processing, and susceptibility to neutralization. Individual mutations of S371F/L, S375F, and T376A in the ACE2-receptor-binding domain as well as Q954H and N969K in the hinge region 1 impaired infectivity, while changes to G339D, D614G, N764K, and L981F moderately enhanced it. Most mutations in the N-terminal region and receptor-binding domain reduced the sensitivity of the Spike protein to neutralization by sera from individuals vaccinated with the BNT162b2 vaccine and by therapeutic antibodies. Our results represent a systematic functional analysis of Omicron Spike adaptations that have allowed this SARS-CoV-2 variant to dominate the current pandemic.

description: Scholars contend that media accountability to the public and professional stakeholders has been improving in recent years because of the increased use of digital platforms. Since most studies related to online news media accountability have focused on developed countries, this research study examines the state of accountability in online news media in Nepal, where access to online media is very limited and audiences are barely aware of media's journalistic responsibilities. By employing case study research method with three data sources, this research study assesses the state of online media accountability in Nepal, key challenges for ensuring accountability in journalism created using digital platforms, and the role of audiences in making online news media accountable. The study finds that Internet accessibility, media literacy, and availability of resources are the primary challenges to making media accountable in Nepal. The study concludes by offering recommendations for future research and practical applications.
Uncertainty, complexity, and appropriability of cross-border innovation
Creators: name: Hung, Tung-Min
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Conducting innovation activities across national borders, firms face political, social, economic, financial, technological, or demand uncertainties. To manage the costs stemming from uncertainties in foreign countries, the conventional wisdom of transaction cost economics suggests that firms should internalize the practice of cross-border innovation to substitute the external hazards. However, many firms do outsource innovation activities to independent contract providers in countries with high uncertainty. Why? To resolve this paradox, I draw upon the theory of real options, the perspective of appropriable rents, and the literature of international expansion. I argue that firms use outsourcing as an option to incrementally invest in cross-border innovation and capture the value of a growth option through learning by outsourcing under uncertainty. In addition, firms could develop the architecture of system-specific outsourcing to secure their entrances to countries with high uncertainty. Moreover, firms benefit from expanding cross-border innovation along with an implementation of a global strategy in a long run. My premises are validated by testing a unique dataset from the Corporate Client Survey of Offshoring Research Network, the International Country Risk Guide, the Index of Economic Freedom, the Patent Protection Index, and the Special 301 reports by the United States Trade Representative.

description: Materials science is highly significant in space program investigation, energy production and others. Therefore, designing, improving and predicting advanced material properties is a crucial necessity. The high temperature creep and corrosion resistance of Ni-based superalloys makes them important materials for turbine blades in aircraft engines and land-based power plants. The investment casting process of turbine blades is costly and time consuming, which makes process simulations a necessity. These simulations require fundamental models for the microstructure formation. In this paper, we present advanced analytical techniques in describing the microstructures obtained experimentally and analyzed on different sample’s cross-sectional images. The samples have been processed on board the International Space Station using the MSL-EML device based on electromagnetic levitation principles. We applied several aspects of fractal analysis and obtained important results regarding fractals and Hausdorff dimensions related to the surface and structural characteristics of CMSX-10 samples. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Zeiss LEO 1550, we analyzed the microstructure of samples solidified in space and successfully performed the fractal reconstruction of the sample’s morphology. We extended the fractal analysis on the microscopic images based on samples solidified on earth and established new frontiers on the advanced structures prediction.

description: Extreme waves represent a serious threat for marine structures and operations. Numerical and theoretical work has already demonstrated that the modulational instability plays a relevant role in the formation of extreme waves (Janssen 2003, Onorato et al. 2006, Onorato et al. 2001). However, strong deviations from Gaussian statistics can only be expected if waves are rather long crested i.e. the spectral energy is concentrated on a narrow range of directions (Onorato et al. 2002, Socquet-Juglard et al. 2005, Onorato et al. 2009). For more realistic short crested seas (i.e. broad directional distributions), the effect of modulational instability becomes less prominent and, as a result, the occurrence of extreme waves does not exceed predictions from second-order theory (e.g. Socquet_juglard et al. 2005). This transition between strongly to weakly non-Gaussian behavior is determined by a balance between nonlinearity (which promotes non-Gaussian behavior) and directionality (which suppresses non-Gaussian behavior). Thus, if there are circumstances when the nonlinearity is locally enhanced, we can expect that non-Gaussian behavior would persist also at broader directional spreads. In this respect, when waves propagates against an ambient current, wave steepness, and hence nonlinearity, increases as a consequence of the shortening of the wavelength, making nonlinear processes, such as the modulational instability mechanism, more likely. A number of laboratory experiments have been carried out to verify the behaviour of regular and irregular waves when opposing a strong current. Most experimental results until now have been obtained in wave flumes, where only one-dimensional propagation can be addressed. For the present study, we have accessed one of the largest directional wave tank in the world to address the more general two dimensional problem, where a multi directional wave field propagates obliquely over a uniform current in partial opposition. The aim is to explore the role of increasing wave steepness due to wavecurrent interaction on the modulational instability mechanism and the formation of large amplitude waves.

description: The effect of pre-deformation on corrosion of ASTM−A106B pipeline steel exposed to 1.7 mM sodium chloride droplets covered by simulated diluted bitumen was evaluated. The microstructures of ASTM−A106B pipeline steel with and without pre-deformation were measured by electron backscatter diffraction and optical microscope. Corrosion of pipeline steel under the chloride droplet covered by simulated diluted bitumen for 5 minutes was studied with and without pre-deformation using scanning electron microscopy. Corrosion was initiated at the surface of ASTM−A106B pipeline steel after 5 minutes of exposure. The pre-deformation increased the number of pits initiated at the steel surface and partially dissolved inclusions. Scanning electron microscopy, profilometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were used to characterize the corrosion of the specimens with and without prior deformation after 24 hours of exposure to an oil-covered droplet. The corrosion products joined together and formed a small circular ring which deviated from the geometric center of the droplet. The diameters of the circular rings for the unbent and pre-bent specimens are 2.371 ± 0.125 and 2.465 ± 0.046 mm, respectively; the distances between the circular ring centers and droplet centers are 0.599 ± 0.124 mm and 0.620 ± 0.190 mm, respectively. The average corrosion penetration of the pre-deformed specimen was 1.18 ± 0.09 times higher than that of the specimen without pre-deformation.

description: Meat consumption has come under criticism in recent years. Meat substitutes are becoming increasingly popular in Germany and could be an alternative. In a study entitled "Meat of the Future", the UBA has now examined the effects of the three emerging meat alternatives - plant-based meat substitutes, edible insects and invitro meat - on the environment and health, and what role they could play in the diet of the future. According to the study, plant-based meat substitutes score best from an environmental perspective. Compared to beef, its production generates more than 90% less greenhouse gases and uses many times less water and land. Insect-based meat substitutes fare somewhat worse. The environmental and health impacts of in-vitro meat are difficult to assess so far. More research is needed here to really be able to produce a "clean meat" for the mass market.

Content Analysis

description: Purpose: The objective of this study is to analyze the content of disclosure on internal control in multinational corporations’ annual reports and to investigate the determinants of disclosure. The study questions whether there are differences in the content, volume and quality of disclosure between multinational corporations and what factors could explain these differences? Methodology: This research is based on 178 multinational corporations selected from the 2012 ranking of Global 500 published by Fortune Magazine. Content analysis was used to analyze the volume and quality of internal control information disclosed in the multinational corporations’ annual reports. The study accommodates for three disclosure measures which are: Disclosure Index (DI), Disclosure Volume (DV) and Disclosure Quality (DQ) Findings: Based on univariate and multivariate analysis, results seem to indicate that national factors are more significant in explaining the differences in disclosure than governance and operational factors. The study also proved that there is at least one significant variable under each category of factors (National, Governance and Operational) Implications: These findings could be relevant to a number of stakeholders concerned with multinational corporations’ activities and performances. Stakeholders influenced by the study are top managers of Multinational Corporation, regulatory setters and investors. The research has implications on the accounting literature by shedding light on disclosure on internal control and the internal control factors grouping.
"When elephants fight, it is the grass that is crushed." A Critical Evaluation of the Treatment of Rape Victim-Witnesses by the International Criminal Court
Creators: name: Morris, Kara
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2013

description: This thesis explores whether the developments in international law, exemplified by the Rome Statutes’ codification of numerous sexually violent war crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as the rights and protections afforded to victims, have been implemented as intended with respect to the treatment of rape victim-witnesses appearing before the International Criminal Court. Through a deductive content analysis of the court transcripts from The Prosecutor v. Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo case currently before the court, it was determined that, with a few notable exceptions, many of the central strategies previously identified in the literature as disqualifying, limiting and discrediting the testimonies of rape victim-witnesses appearing before the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, reemerged within the context of the International Criminal Court.
L’elezione del sindaco indigeno; Un caso etnografico all’interno del percorso politico degli indios brasiliani dalla “tutela” alla cittadinanza multiculturale

description: The 1988 Brazilian Constitution officially decrees the end of the paternalistic “guardianship” policies  aimed to control the indigenous peoples and to completely assimilate them. In practice, however, not all the constitutional rights are respected. The ethnographic case of the election of an Indian mayor, in Minas Gerais State, contextualized in the political path followed by the indigenous movement, allows a theoretical reflection about two main issues: the respect of cultural differences and the guarantee of rights.

Keywords: Indigenist policies, Brazilian indigenous movements, citizenship, Xacriabá Indians.

La Costituzione brasiliana del 1988, sancisce ufficialmente l’abbandono delle politiche paternaliste della “tutela”, finalizzate al controllo da parte dello Stato sui popoli indigeni e alla loro completa assimilazione. Tuttavia, nella pratica, non tutti i diritti costituzionali vengono rispettati. Il caso etnografico dell'elezione di un sindaco indigeno in un comune del Minas Gerais, inserito all’interno del cammino politico compiuto dal movimento indigeno, permette una riflessione su due temi cruciali: il rispetto delle differenze culturali e la garanzia dell’esercizio dei diritti di cittadinanza.

Parole chiave: Politiche indigeniste, movimenti indigeni brasiliani, cittadinanza, Indios Xacriabá.
La guerrilla de las imágenes: EZLN y fotografía

description: In this essay I will propose an historical analysis of the visual discourse of the Mexican guerrilla movement Zapatista Army for National Liberation (EZLN). I argue that this discourse should be understood as a creation of a collective imaginary of the “militant subject” inscribed in a long national and Latin American guerrilla tradition. Starting with an iconological analysis of a series of photographs taken from the book “Corte de Caja” (Castellanos and Trabulsi, 2008), I'll indicate a number of problems concerning the use of images as a source (or “testimony”), with the aim to re- construct the historical genealogy of the EZLN.

Keywords: guerrilla, EZLN, Latin America, visual discourse, genealogy.

	En este ensayo propongo un análisis histórico del discurso visual del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) como creación de un imaginario colectivo sobre el “sujeto militante” inscrito en la larga tradición guerrillera nacional y latinoamericana. A partir del análisis iconológico de un conjunto de fotografías del libro Corte de Caja (Castellanos y Trabulsi, 2008), señalaré una serie de problemas que nos pueden ayudar a usar las imágenes como fuentes (como “testimonios”) con el fin de re-construir la genealogía histórica del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN).

Type Ia supernovae and planets in star clusters

description: Star clusters are remarkably efficient (relative to the field) at making type Ia supernovae candidates: very short period, massive double-white-dwarf stars and giant-white dwarf binaries. The high frequency of these systems is the result of dynamical encounters between (mostly) primordial binaries and other cluster stars. Orbital hardening rapidly drives the degenerate binaries to periods under similar to 10 hours. Gravitational radiation-emission and mergers then produce supra-Chandrasekhar objects in less than a Hubble time. We also find that free-floating planets can remain bound to a star cluster for much longer than was previously assumed: of the order of the cluster half-mass relaxation timescale as opposed to the crossing-time. The planets in our N-body study,are of Jupiter mass and are initially placed in circular orbits of between 0.05 and 50 AU about a parent star whose mass is chosen from a realistic initial mass function. This result is important in the context of the preliminary detection of a population of free-floating sub-stellar objects in the globular cluster M22.
Les micro-entreprises informelles en Côte d'Ivoire comme stratégie de subsistance.

description: Cette thèse a pour but de définir le concept de micro-entreprise informelle en se basant sur les critères établis par l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économique, d'analyser un type et une activité spécifiques de ME informelles dirigées par des femmes et d'étudier leur fonction de subsistance dans un pays en voie de développement. Un travail d'enquête basé sur des entrevues a été entrepris dans la commune d'Attécoubé, un quartier pauvre d'Abidjan, en Côte d'ivoire. Les femmes interviewées dirigent toutes une micro-entreprise informelle de vente de produits vivriers sur le marché de la commune. La thèse tente de déterminer si la ME informelle est une stratégie de subsistance pour ces femmes démunies. A partir des réponses obtenues, il a été trouvé que les revenus de la microentreprise informelle sont immédiatement utilisés pour subvenir aux besoins essentiels de leur famille, immédiate et étendue, et non réinvestis dans l'activité de vente. La conclusion générale de l'étude est que la ME informelle, telle que définie par l'OCDE, constitue effectivement une stratégie de subsistance pour les femmes les plus démunies.
