La force discursive des passions dans le roman dialogué : 'Éole' et 'Les âmes fortes'

Les âmes fortes

description: Le premier parcours de cette thèse consiste en un roman dialogué intitulé Éole qui explore le fonctionnement discursif de la force des passions dans une scénographie conversationnelle, caractéristique du roman dialogué, dans laquelle les passions deviennent si importantes qu’elles finissent par régler l’échange, dans un jeu de pouvoir ou de rapport de force, liant de manière indissociable force discursive et force des passions. Le second parcours, de nature théorique, propose d’examiner la question de la force discursive des passions, mobilisée par l’ethos et le pathos, dans la situation d’énonciation propre au roman dialogué, abordée au moyen des outils de la rhétorique et de la pragmatique, dans une perspective conversationnelle. Pour ce faire, nous avons pris appui sur un cas exemplaire, Les âmes fortes (1950) de Jean Giono (1895-1970), qui a servi à illustrer notre propos. Enfin, le troisième parcours, à caractère réflexif, est l’occasion de revenir sur la manière dont sont liées force discursive et force des passions dans Éole. Les choix d’écriture et les effets du dialogue, orientés vers la surexposition de la situation d’énonciation, contribuent à donner au roman le mouvement des passions, au détriment de l’intrigue et des personnages, dépersonnalisés. Reste alors l’expérience même du langage en situation de communication.

description: Rationale: Evidence suggests that training in hypoxia can be very effective even while requiring less physical effort. We therefore aimed to measure the effect of endurance training under hypoxic conditions on pulmonary and cardiovascular parameters in an elderly population undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. Methods: Forty patients over age 65 years with multiple co-morbid conditions were recruited during a 3-week stay in a geriatric rehabilitation center. Using a randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled design, patients were assigned to a hypoxic (HG) or normoxic (NG) group. HG patients completed seven training sessions of 30 min duration on a treadmill in a normobaric chamber with inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) of 15.27%, with 10–30 min active training. Training was conducted with target heart rate at 80% of peak oxygen consumption (VO2-peak). NG group performed similar training in sham hypoxia (room air or FiO2 = 20.94%). At pre- and post-test completion, measures included: (1) cycle ergometry with ECG monitoring and measurement of VO2-peak, and (2) echocardiography for ejection fraction. Results: The physical effort required of patients to reach target heart rate was reduced significantly (−28%, p = 0.043) in the HG compared to NG. Cardiopulmonary parameters showed no differences between groups. Conclusion: Endurance training at 3,000 meters elevation imposes less stress on the locomotor systems while resulting in a similar physiological strain (i.e., heart rate). Hypoxic training holds promise for successful geriatric rehabilitation by being more accommodating to physical limitations in geriatric patients. Trial registration: Registration at DRKS.

description: This issue of Communication, Politics & Culture is mainly about the relationship between what people might do with better broadband and the government policies designed to get it to them. It is less about the headlines the NBN has attracted for the past year, and more about smaller stories—getting infrastructure to distant, hard-to-serve communities that will probably never get fibre access networks; getting people interested in using better broadband; anticipating problems that might arise and proposing solutions; speculating about alternate futures and their relationship to communications histories. There’s a particular focus on broadband in non-metropolitan communities—in Canada, Australia’s Central Desert, the North Queensland city of Townsville and the island state, Tasmania—and on the kinds of services that have already migrated so sweepingly to online delivery (banking) or that are thought likely to be such transforming parts of the NBN world (health and education).

description: This thesis contends certain contentious court cases can be traced beyond their legal roots to deep, sometimes incommensurable philosophical disagreements. However, the unitary nature of the judicial system effectively forces the court to take sides, putting its institutional weight and moral authority behind one set of principles and not another. Following Cover, I contend that this encourages future litigants to rephrase their claims in the court’s preferred normative language, thus influencing our normative environment. The theories which guide judicial decisions, however, are generally insufficiently attentive to the court’s normative influence. In response, I attempt adapting Dworkin’s Law as Integrity around Cover’s more sociological view. Chapter 1 examines Cover’s view, Chapter 2 explores Syndicat Northcrest v. Amselem and Delmaagukw v. B.C. as case studies, and Chapter 3 adapts Dworkin around Covers view. My conclusions argue that further inspiration can be drawn from EU Coordinate Constitutionalism and Sui Generis aboriginal rights.

Universalité de la religion

description: Les sciences des religions acceptèrent l’universalité de la religion comme une prémisse indéniable dès sa fondation. Néanmoins, certaines réserves peuvent être émises. Cette thèse poursuit la problématisation de l’universalité de la religion, entamée par un groupe d’auteurs de la critical religion, et oriente la réflexion sur les conditions d’intelligibilité de cette croyance par l’entremise d’une analyse discursive déconstructiviste contextualisant l’universalité de la religion dans son épistémè. Plus précisément, cette thèse propose que la croyance en l’universalité de la religion soit supportée par des réseaux de croyances métaphysiques et ontologiques. La déconstruction des conditions d’intelligibilité du concept de l’universalité, juxtaposée à celle de la réification de la religion, expose des jeux de langage délimités et circonscrits par une ontologie moderne. Ces jeux de langage ontologiques sont déployés par des démarcations radicales où des séries dichotomiques, le sujet et l’objet par exemple, circonscrivent les discours dans une clôture métaphysique. Bref, cette thèse déconstruit le signifié transcendantal « religion » et expose les conditions d’intelligibilité de l’universalité de la religion, c’est-à-dire les jeux de langage ontologiques modernes étroitement tissés et calqués sur l’ontologie classique où les discours auxquels la grande majorité des approches en sciences des religions adhèrent puisent leur intelligibilité.

Revealing mechanical properties of a suspension plasma sprayed coating with nanoindentation

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Solution and suspension thermal spraying is providing a more economic approach to the production of thin coatings. Advances in this new promising technology require accompanying tools to assess micro and nanosized areas within these deposits. Hydroxyapatite was deposited in an r.f. plasma using a powder and a suspension. The powder feedstock produced a dense, oriented coating, whereas the suspension led to a porous randomly oriented coating. The porosity leads to a decrease in the hardness and elastic modulus of the bulk coating, but site specific indentations on dense areas in the SPS coating revealed greater values (5 ± 0.2 vs 4 ± 0.2 GPa), possibly due to the finer grain size and crystal orientation. Nanoindentation presents a valuable tool for the assessment of the mechanical properties in solid areas of porous materials, and when used with microscopy will be valuable for the further development of SPS coatings.

description: Improvement of life-time is an important issue in the development of Li-ion batteries. Aging mechanisms limiting the life-time can efficiently be characterized by physico-chemical analysis of aged cells with a variety of complementary methods. This study reviews the state-of-the-art literature on Post-Mortem analysis of Li-ion cells, including disassembly methodology as well as physico-chemical characterization methods for battery materials. A detailed scheme for Post-Mortem analysis is deduced from literature, including pre-inspection, conditions and safe environment for disassembly of cells, as well as separation and post-processing of components. Special attention is paid to the characterization of aged materials including anodes, cathodes, separators, and electrolyte. More specifically, microscopy, chemical methods sensitive to electrode surfaces or to electrode bulk, and electrolyte analysis are reviewed in detail. The techniques are complemented by electrochemical measurements using reconstruction methods for electrodes built into half and full cells with reference electrode. The changes happening to the materials during aging as well as abilities of the reviewed analysis methods to observe them are critically discussed.
An Exploratory Study of the Relationship between Defensive and Supportive Talk, Verbal Aggressiveness and Communication Climate

description: Significant research has investigated Jack Gibb’s model of defensive and supportive communication, but little has explored the influence of the type of talk -- defensive or supportive -- on perceptions of communication climate and the role that verbal aggressiveness may play in influencing both the types of talk and these perceptions. This thesis explored the relationship between defensive and supportive talk, verbal aggressiveness and communication climate using a mixed-method approach. Specifically, the Verbal Aggressiveness Scale was used to group participants for a dyadic problem solving exercise which generated conversational data that was analyzed qualitatively. Then, the Communication Climate Inventory was used to measure participants’ perceptions of the communication climate that emerged in their problem-solving dyad. The findings highlight factors that may influence the perception of communication climate. Examples of supportive talk that builds positive communication climates and limits the effects of verbal aggressiveness and examples of defensive talk that leads to negative communication climates are provided. This research demonstrates that language has an influence on communication climate through the words that shape the complex ways people perceive and understand each other and, interestingly, that the negative impact of defensive communication overrides the positive impact of supportive communication on the emergent communication climate.

description: Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are excellent candidates to generate secret information on-chip without the need for secure storage. Ring-oscillator (RO) based PUFs have been receiving great attention over the years due to their easy design and superior statistical characteristics on field pro- grammable gate arrays (FPGAs). Although previous work has improved their statistical measures and provided deeper insights, there are still gaps to be filled. Therefore, this work presents an in-depth analysis of RO-PUFs on Xilinx Zynq-7000 FPGAs with a framework based on partial reconfiguration. This approach allows for full-chip characterization of 100% of the targeted area. Based on the measured data and beforehand estimated routing delay, we will show how to identify and avoid potential bias in the final PUF placement. By utilizing DSP48 slices, an enhanced counter was designed for high-frequency measurements. A second feedback path was added to the ring-oscillators in order to avoid glitches at the counters input. In combination with a reference normalization, the frequency standard deviation could be reduced to 0.0229% at a much shorter evaluation time of 10µs compared to the state-of-the-art, while maintaining the maximum inter-hamming distance. An investigation on the influence of spatial distribution on different RO pairings was performed. The chip variations were found to have a much larger effect on the statistical measures than the difference between logic elements. The measurement data and the framework will be made accessible to interested researchers to provide them with a data basis for further research.
Functional Analysis of KLF13 in the Heart

description: Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the largest class of birth defects in humans and are a major cause of infant mortality and morbidity. Deciphering the molecular and genetic etiologies central for heart development and the pathogenesis of congenital heart diseases (CHD) is a challenging puzzle. We have previously demonstrated that the zinc-finger kruppel-like transcription factor KLF13, expressed predominantly in the atria, binds evolutionarily conserved regulatory elements known as CACC-boxes and transcriptionally activates several cardiac promoters. KLF13 loss of function in Xenopus embryos was associated with cardiac developmental defects underscoring its critical role in the heart. In the current study, using in vivo and in vitro approaches, we examined KLF13’s mechanisms of action and its interaction with other cardiac regulators. To test the evolutionary conserved role in the mammalian heart, we deleted the Klf13 gene in transgenic mice using homologous recombination. Mice with homozygote deletion of Klf13 were born at reduced frequency owing to severe heart defects. We also report the existence of a novel isoform of KLF13, referred to here as KLF13b. Furthermore, we report that KLF13 interacts biochemically and genetically with the T-box transcription factor TBX5 which is a key regulator of heart development. Our data provide novel insight into the role of KLF13 in cardiac transcription and suggest that KLF13 maybe a genetic modifier of congenital heart disease. Furthering our knowledge of protein-protein interactions and gene transcription will enhance genotype-phenotype correlation and contribute to better understanding of the etiology of CHD.

Tropospheric CH4 signals as observed by NDACC FTIR at globally distributed sites and comparison to GAWsurface in situ measurements
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2014

description: We present lower/middle tropospheric column-averaged CH4 mole fraction time series measured by nine globally distributed ground-based FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) remote sensing experiments of the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC). We show that these data are well representative of the tropospheric regional-scale CH4signal, largely independent of the local surface small-scale signals, and only weakly dependent on upper tropospheric/lower stratospheric (UTLS) CH4 variations. In order to achieve the weak dependency on the UTLS, we use an a posteriori correction method. We estimate a typical precision for daily mean values of about 0.5% and a systematic error of about 2.5%. The theoretical assessments are complemented by an extensive empirical study. For this purpose, we use surface in situ CH4measurements made within the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) network and compare them to the remote sensing data. We briefly discuss different filter methods for removing the local small-scale signals from the surface in situ data sets in order to obtain the in situ regional-scale signals. We find good agreement between the filtered in situ and the remote sensing data. The agreement is consistent for a variety of timescales that are interesting for CH4 source/sink research: day-to-day, monthly, and inter-annual. The comparison study confirms our theoretical estimations and proves that the NDACC FTIR measurements can provide valuable data for investigating the cycle of CH4.Quelle: http://www.atmos-meas-tech.net

description: Atom optics employs the modern techniques of quantum optics and laser cooling to enable applications which often outperform current standard technologies. Atomic matter wave interferometers allow for ultra-precise sensors; metrology and clocks are pushed to an extraordinary accuracy of 17 digits using single atoms. Miniaturization and integration are driven forward for both atomic clocks and atom optical circuits. With the miniaturization of information-storage and -processing devices, the scale of single atoms is approached in solid state devices, where the laws of quantum physics lead to novel, advantageous features and functionalities. An upcoming branch of atom optics is the control of single atoms, potentially allowing solid state devices to be built atom by atom; some of which would be applicable in future quantum information processing devices. Selective manipulation of individual atoms also enables trace analysis of extremely rare isotopes. Additionally, sources of neutral atoms with high brightness are being developed and, if combined with photo ionization, even novel focused ion beam sources are within reach. Ultracold chemistry is fertilized by atomic techniques, when reactions of chemical constituents are investigated between ions, atoms, molecules, trapped or aligned in designed fields and cooled to ultra-low temperatures such that the reaction kinetics can be studied in a completely state-resolved manner.
Measuring protein diffusion in living cells by Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy (RICS)
Creators: name: Shimoni, Raz
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Time-lapse fluorescence imaging has revolutionized studies of biology in the last 15 years. In addition to the now routine tracking of bulk fluorescence, for instance of a protein moving into the nucleus in response to an extracellular signal, technologies are now emerging that enable much more sophisticated analysis of the motion and interactions of proteins within living cells. The potential of these approaches to elucidate biological processes is clear, but they have not yet been developed and validated for broad use by biologists. This thesis describes the adaptation of a recently introduced method, Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy (RICS). RICS is a novel approach to assess the dynamic properties of fluorescent macromolecules in solutions and within living cells by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Based on RICS theory, we developed novel software with which to analyse confocal images and to measure diffusion coefficients of the fluorophores. This new software has several advantages compared with published RICS software, and its ability to give accurate diffusion coefficient values was characterized under a range of settings. Once a RICS routine was established, it was applied to measure the diffusion coefficient of PAK-interacting exchange factor (βPIX) within living fibroblast cells as a paradigm for RICS analysis. The interaction between βPIX and the adaptor protein, Scribble, plays a critical role in cell polarity and actin polymerization. These preliminary measurements indicate the potential of RICS in elucidating the dynamics of proteins within living cells, and demonstrate how the use of RICS will open new opportunities in the cell biology research.

description: Eating disorders are common and serious conditions affecting up to 4% of the population. The mortality rate is high. Despite the seriousness and prevalence of eating disorders in children and adolescents, no Canadian practice guidelines exist to facilitate treatment decisions. This leaves clinicians without any guidance as to which treatment they should use. Our objective was to produce such a guideline. Methods: Using systematic review, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system, and the assembly of a panel of diverse stakeholders from across the country, we developed high quality treatment guidelines that are focused on interventions for children and adolescents with eating disorders. Results: Strong recommendations were supported specifically in favour of Family-Based Treatment, and more generally in terms of least intensive treatment environment. Weak recommendations in favour of Multi-Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Adolescent Focused Psychotherapy, adjunctive Yoga and atypical antipsychotics were confirmed. Conclusions: Several gaps for future work were identified including enhanced research efforts on new primary and adjunctive treatments in order to address severe eating disorders and complex co-morbidities.

description: We use a combination of microwave fields and free precession to drive the spin of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond on different trajectories on the Bloch sphere and investigate the physical significance of the frame-dependent decomposition of the total phase into geometric and dynamic parts. The experiments are performed on a two-level subspace of the spin-1 ground state of the NV, where the Aharonov-Anandan geometric phase manifests itself as a global phase, and we use the third level of the NV ground-state triplet to detect it. We show that while the geometric Aharonov-Anandan phase retains its connection to the solid angle swept out by the evolving spin, it is generally accompanied by a dynamic phase that suppresses the geometric dependence of the system dynamics. These results offer insights into the physical significance of frame-dependent geometric phases.

description: La traduzione del Corano si presenta come un compito arduo: essendo parola diretta di Dio, i musulmani tendono a considerare intraducibile il testo sacro. La questione dell'inimitabilità è centrale. Come si può essere sicuri che una metafora tradotta in una lingua diversa dall'arabo conservi lo stesso significato allegorico?

Regulation of the Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate growth signaling pathway in cardiomyocytes

description: Hypertrophy is an adaptive response of the heart to increased hemodynamic load with both pressure and volume overload resulting in increased cardiomyocyte size in the absence of DNA replication. Activation of Gq/11 proteins via stimulation of a1-adrenergic receptors is a well known initiator of cardiac hypertrophy. Upon receptor activation of Gq, phospholipase Cβ hydrolyzes the membrane phospholipid phophatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to yield inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) and the PKC activator sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG). Though the role of PKC activation in cardiac hypertrophy has been well studied, not all hypertrophic response can be explained by PKC signalling events, thus implicating Ins(1,4,5)P3 as playing a role in hypertrophic growth. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role and requirement of PLCβ and Ins(1,4,5)P3 in mediating the hypertrophic phenotype. RNA interference was used to reduce PLCβ1 or PLCβ3 protein expression levels in cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVM). Following testing of over 30 unique siRNA delivered as both dsRNA and shRNA via adenoviral transduction, it was found that though PLCβ mRNA is targeted by siRNA for degradation, no reduction in PLCβ protein levels was observed due to the short lived nature of the NRVM culture and the stability of the PLCβ protein. An alternative approach utilising an Ins(1,4,5)P3-specific 5’-phosphatase to deplete Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels revealed a tight regulation of intracellular Ins(1,4,5)P3 in NRVM. Though initial reduction of Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels was achieved by viral delivery of a 5’-phosphatase, a compensatory mechanism was observed where Ins(1,4,5)P3 returned to resting levels within 20-minutes of α1-adrenergic receptor stimulation coupled with an increase in all other InsPs measured. Taken together, the data described here show that the PLCβ/Ins(1,4,5)P3 hypertrophic signalling pathway in NRVM is tightly regulated and any attempts at manipulation of its constituents is compensated for in NRVM.

description: Li plating is a severe and safety relevant aging mechanism which has to be avoided. A new 4-electrode operando pouch full cell, with two Li reference electrodes is developed. The voltage shifts between the two Li metal electrodes are correlating directly with changes in the Li+ activity a[Li+] in the electrolyte in front of the anode surface. We take advantage of the Li+ activity dependency of the Li+/Li redox potential as described by the Nernst equation to measure the Li+ activity in the electrolyte. On this basis, the mismatch between reaction and transport kinetics in anode and cathode is discussed. Finally, optimized fast-charging procedures based on strictly positive anode potentials are deduced from the measurements in cells with reference electrodes. These charging protocols allow reducing charging time while enhancing cycle life significantly. The second reference electrode is helpful to understand these measurements in terms of Li+ activity during charging. The applicability of such fast-charging protocols is demonstrated on the example of commercial 16 Ah pouch and lab cells.
The underside of glory: AfriCanadian enlistment in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914-1917.

description: On March 28, 1917, the officers and men of the Number Two Construction Battalion (No. 2 CB) sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to serve with the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). The departure of the No. 2 CB marked a turning point in a three year battle over AfriCanadian volunteers in the CEF. Although there were no official policies preventing AfriCanadian enlistments, many AfriCanadian volunteers learned early in the War that racist military and civilian officials did not want a "Checker board army" and that it was a "White man's war." Nevertheless, AfriCanadians and their supporters persistently sought enlistments. In the process they exposed the racist underside of Canada's war-time glory. Eventually, the No. 2 CB, a segregated non-combat unit was authorized. Although the No. 2 CB was not the military objective AfriCanadians had fought for, it was one of the few options available for AfriCanadians who wanted to 'do their bit' for Canada during the 'Great War.' As part of a small, yet, slowly developing body of work related to the AfriCanadian wartime experience, this thesis examens the key personalities and events that fostered the creation and recruitment of Canada's only AfriCanadian overseas military unit.

description: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the most commonly detected contaminants in water. The occurrence is mainly in gasoline and other petroleum-based products, fumigants, paints and plastics. Releases into the environment and the widespread use have an impact on the ecosystem such as humans and animals due to their toxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity. VOCs may persist in groundwater and may enter drinking water supplies. In this paper, a diamond-like carbon (DLC)-coated silicon waveguide in combination with a polymer film (ethylene/propylene copolymer, E/P-co) for enrichment of analytes was investigated to determine its suitability for ATR-FTIR (attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopic detection of VOCs. The DLC film was fluorine-terminated enhancing the adhesion of the hydrophobic polymer to the waveguide surface. The analytes diffuse into the hydrophobic polymer whereas water is excluded from the emanating evanescent field. Therefore, direct detection in aqueous systems is enabled. Nine VOCs, i.e., ethylbenzene (EB), trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene (TeCE), the xylene isomers (p-xylene, pXYL; m-xylene, mXYL; o-xylene, oXYL), naphthalene (NAPH), toluene (TOL), and benzene (BENZ), were evaluated simultaneously qualitatively and quantitatively showing the potential of DLC coatings revealing high sensitivities in the low ppb to ppm concentration range, i.e., 50 ppb for TeCE. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time of IR spectroscopic detection of VOCs in aqueous solutions using DLC-coated waveguides in combination with a hydrophobic polymer. By utilizing a DLC-coated waveguide, a versatile sensor for real-time monitoring in harsh environments such as effluents, leaking pipelines, and underground storage tanks is feasible due to response times within a few minutes.
