description: Mathematical models elaborated for removal of microconstituents (MCs) in activated sludge (AS) system have not incorporated developments in International Water Association (IWA) models. In this thesis, sorption and biodegradation kinetic models that can be applied to describe transformation of MCs in an AS process were evaluated (volatilization and photodegradation were considered negligible). Bisphenol-A (BPA), 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), and triclosan (TCS) have been selected as target compounds in this thesis. Sorption batch tests were conducted to retrieve kinetic and equilibrium data. Nine lab-scale continuous flow porous-pot bioreactors operating at various solids retention times (SRTs) and hydraulic retention times (HRTs) were studied for biodegradation of MCs. The effects of SRT, HRT and the biomass concentration on sorption and removal of MCs were also investigated and the results of each phase were incorporated into MCs fate models. Freundlich and linear sorption isotherms and pseudo-second-order kinetic models with different kinetic rates were found to best fit the sorption and desorption results. The result of biodegradation study in the presence of 20 µg/L of MCs demonstrated 90-98, 63-91 and 97-98% mean removal rates of BPA, EE2 and TCS, respectively, in systems operating at SRT of 5–15 d and HRT of 4-10 h. Calculation of mass fluxes of selected MCs in the dissolved and particulate phases showed that biotransformation was the principal removal mechanism of targeted MCs. The fate models for the degradation mechanism of selected MCs were evaluated by applying various mathematical models. The pseudo-second-order model was found to best fit the results when active MCs degraders (XC) were used in the model. It was found that biodegradation studies should incorporate XC and not mixed liquor suspended solids concentration in their kinetic formulations. Therefore, the result of this study could be seen in the context, where the active MCs degraders are proposed to reduce the variability of biodegradation kinetic rates in AS systems operating at different operational conditions. Finally nitrification inhibitors, allylthiourea (ATU) were added to reactors and it was found that although nitrification process affects the fate of MCs in AS system, heterotrophs were most likely responsible for the biotransformation of the targeted MCs.

description: The identification of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in large surveys has been hampered by seemingly discordant classifications arising from differing diagnostic methods, usually tracing distinct processes specific to a particular wavelength regime. However, as shown in Yao et al., the combination of optical emission-line measurements and mid-infrared photometry can be used to optimize the discrimination capability between AGN and star formation activity. In this paper we test our new classification scheme by combining the existing GAMA-WISE data with high-quality MeerKAT radio continuum data covering 8 deg2 of the GAMA G23 region. Using this sample of 1841 galaxies (z < 0.25), we investigate the total infrared (derived from 12 μm) to radio luminosity ratio, q(TIR), and its relationship to optical–infrared AGN and star-forming (SF) classifications. We find that while q(TIR) is efficient at detecting AGN activity in massive galaxies generally appearing quiescent in the infrared, it becomes less reliable for cases where the emission from star formation in the host galaxy is dominant. However, we find that the q(TIR) can identify up to 70% more AGNs not discernible at optical and/or infrared wavelengths. The median q(TIR) of our SF sample is 2.57 ± 0.23, consistent with previous local universe estimates.

description: One of our studies on lignicolous aquatic fungi in the Philippines yielded two new records of freshwater Sordariomycetes in the genera Sporoschisma and Trichoderma. The newly collected specimens, UPVMI 24–0003 and UPVMI 24–0004, exhibit morphological similarities to the holotypes of Trichoderma pinicola (SFC 20130926-S233) and Sporoschisma chiangraiense (MFLU 18–1722), respectively. Combined ITS-TEF1-α phylogenetic analysis showed that UPVMI 24–0003 clustered with the ex-type strain of T. pinicola (KACC 48486), and with T. simplex (HMAS 248842) as a sister taxon. The isolate UPVMI 24–0004 grouped with three strains of S. chiangraiense (MFLUCC 18-0703, MFLUCC 18-0336, and GMB0090), with 97% ML and 1.00 BYPP bootstrap supports in the ITS phylogeny. We provide detailed descriptions and illustrations for both T. pinicola and S. chiangraiense, along with a synopsis of morphological characters for freshwater Sporoschisma species.

Im Rahmen einer internationalen Literaturstudie wurden hierfür wesentliche Aussagen zur Flächenneuinanspruchnahme im europäischen Raum ermittelt und die zugrunde liegenden Zahlen aus den Originaldaten rekonstruiert. Im Vergleich mit den Zahlen der amtlichen Flächenstatistik in Deutschland wird deutlich, dass insbesondere Aussagen zum Flächenverbrauch differenziert und jeweils unter Berücksichtigung der Methodik des Flächenmonitorings betrachtet werden müssen, um sachgerechte Interpretationen und internationale Vergleiche durchzuführen. Ähnlich verhält es sich beim Vergleich der nationalen Daten aus Belgien, der Schweiz und England. Quelle: Forschungsbericht
description: This report compares different international approaches to land use monitoring and examines the comparability of the results concerning land take. Within the context of an international literature study, key statements on European land take were made, with the underlying numbers reconstructed from the original data. Comparing these numbers with those of official land use statistics in Germany, it becomes clear that statements on land take in particular must be considered in a differentiated manner, taking into account the land monitoring methodology used in each case, in order to arrive at meaningful interpretations and allow international comparisons. The situation is similar when comparing national data from Belgium, Switzerland and England. Quelle: Forschungsbericht
description: Der hohe Flächenverbrauch ist europaweit als Problem erkannt. Die EU fordert, dass im Jahr 2050 netto keine weiteren naturnahen Flächen mehr verbaut werden dürfen (Netto Null Ziel). Flächenverbrauch wird in Europa auf nationaler Ebene jedoch nach unterschiedlichen Methoden erfasst. Je nachdem, ob den Erhebungen Luftbilddaten oder Liegenschaftsdaten zugrunde liegen, unterscheiden sich die Ergebnisse zum Teil signifikant. In einem Forschungsvorhaben des Umweltbundesamtes wurde am Beispiel ausgewählter Länder nachgerechnet, wie groß diese Abweichungen sein können und warum nationale Fortschritte bei der Reduzierung des Flächenverbrauchs kaum vergleichbar sind.

description: We present new radial velocities from AAOmega on the Anglo-Australian Telescope for 307 galaxies (bJ < 19.5) in the region of the rich cluster Abell 1386. Consistent with other studies of galaxy clusters that constitute subunits of superstructures, we find that the velocity distribution of A1386 is very broad (21 000–42 000 km s−1, or z= 0.08& 8211;0.14) and complex. The mean redshift of the cluster that Abell designated as number 1386 is found to be ∼ 0.104. However, we find that it consists of various superpositions of line-of-sight components. We investigate the reality of each component by testing for substructure and searching for giant elliptical galaxies in each and show that A1386 is made up of at least four significant clusters or groups along the line of sight whose global parameters we detail. Peculiar velocities of brightest galaxies for each of the groups are computed and found to be different from previous works, largely due to the complexity of the sky area and the depth of analysis performed in the present work. We also analyse A1386 in the context of its parent superclusters: Leo A and especially the Sloan Great Wall. Although the new clusters may be moving towards mass concentrations in the Sloan Great Wall or beyond, many are most likely not yet physically bound to it.

description: A servo track writing (STW) platform with dual piezoelectric (PZT) microactuator is proposed for higher track density hard disk drives (HDDs). We mainly deal with the servo control issues to achieve high track density. Vibration and noise analysis based on the measured position error signal (PES) indicates that the PES is significantly disturbed by narrow-band vibrations. Hence, we propose a general second-order phase lead peak filter (PLPF) that is applicable to reject narrow-band disturbances at all frequency ranges. The filter zero is designed to minimally degrade the closed-loop system stability and obtain a smooth sensitivity curve around the disturbance frequency. A feedback controller is employed to stabilize the servo loop and then a PLPF is embedded to further suppress the specific vibrations. The readback position errors are evaluated and 6.4 nm 3a value of the true PES NRRO is achieved, corresponding to 395k track-per-inch (TPI) track density.

description: A new wood-inhabiting fungal species, Punctulariopsis fissurata, is proposed based on morphological description and molecular verification. The species is characterised by the resupinate basidiomata with a pinkish buff salmon hymenial surface, a monomitic system with the generative hyphae bearing clamp connections and the presence of dendrohyphidia with broadly ellipsoid basidiospores measuring 13–15.5 × 8.5–11.5 µm. Phylogenetic analysis of the combined nrDNA-ITS and LSU gene sequences verified that P. fissurata formed an independent lineage sister to P. efibulata with strong statistical support. A full description, illustrations and phylogenetic analysis results of the new species are provided.
Intracellular pH regulation in hepatocytes of teleost fish.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Animal Physiology.

description: Teleost fish are very sensitive to changes that occur in their aquatic environment, including those that influence blood acid-base status. The intracellular pH (pHi) of the liver is strongly influenced by the pH of circulating blood and must be able to regulate any changes that occur. The main goal of this thesis was to examine the mechanisms of pHi regulation in hepatocytes (liver cells) isolated from different fish species. Isolated hepatocytes were validated as an appropriate cell model system by examining intracellular and plasma ion levels in three teleost species, rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), black bullhead, Ameiurus melas (Rafinesque) and American eel, Anguilla rostrata (Lesueur). Although the electrochemical gradients for Na + and K+ were different in isolated cells as compared to the intact tissue, these gradients were directionally correct. The mechanism of intracellular pH (pHi) regulation was studied in trout, bullhead and eel hepatocytes using the pH-sensitive fluorescent dye BCECF. In the trout and bullhead, recovery to an acid load occurred principally by way of Na+-H+ exchange. In trout hepatocytes, an electrogenic Na+-HCO3- cotransporter also plays a significant role in the maintenance of steady-state pHi and recovery from intracellular acidosis. In eel, recovery to an acid load occurred by a Cl--dependent mechanism. Recovery to a base load in the trout was diminished by blocking the Na+-H + exchanger. Partial sequences of the Na+-HCO3- (NBC) gene were obtained independently from trout liver and gill/kidney cDNA libraries. The fish NBC sequences were identical and showed high homology with mammalian and amphibian sequences. The most important differences between the fish and these other sequences occurred in the large extracellular loop as well as in the DIDS binding motif. Hypercapnia exposure resulting in decreases in blood pH significantly decreases hepatocyte pHi. Chronic in vivo or in vitro hypercapnia did not enhance the ability of hepatocytes to recover from subsequent intracellular acidoses. In summary, hepatocytes of all three teleost species studied appear to have the ability to regulate pHi, though they do not exploit identical mechanisms. In addition to the role of a Na+-H+ exchanger and Cl--HCO3- exchanger, a Na+-HCO3- cotransporter may contribute significantly to hepatocyte pHi regulation. The primary molecular data obtained in this thesis may allow for a more complete and in depth determination of a role of the NBC in regulatory mechanisms in teleost fish.
The family’s governance of children’s media consumption as a moral arena: theoretical framework, methodology and first results of a study

description: This paper reports the theoretical framework, methodology and first results of an empirical, ethnographic-oriented research on parents’ governance of audiovisual consumption by children. Although it seems to be peripheral, this everyday practice appears to be a microcosm reflecting the family’s moral economy and educational values. When parents are involved in talking about family media practices and media regulation, their discourse on these topics is undistinguishable from the processes of constructing themselves as ‘good parents’ and of front-staging their moral selves. Parents construct their folk theories about their children’s healthy development, their local ethics and politics, cultural values and educational priorities. Indeed, the governance of media consumption at home works as a moral as well as an educational arena where parents socialize their children to the family’s specific values and world views, and scaffold their process of becoming competent members of the community they belong to.
description: La ricerca sulla governance genitoriale del  consumo degli audiovisivi come vettore di educazione familiare,  risponde ad un rinnovato interesse, da una parte, per l’educazione familiare e i modi con cui i bambini sono socializzati a divenire membri competenti della comunità attraverso le pratiche e i discorsi che punteggiano la vita quotidiana in famiglia  e , dall’altra, per il consumo sempre più precoce degli audiovisivi che – almeno nelle società  occidentali - riguarda ormai i bambini fin dai primissimi mesi di vita.  Questo studio concerne  il consumo domestico degli audiovisivi come una pratica quotidiana che implica, per i genitori, aspetti evolutivi, morali e dunque eminentemente educativi.  In particolare, esamina le pratiche e i discorsi genitoriali connessi al consumo di film e video giochi da parte dei loro figli. Film e video giochi sono dei prodotti audiovisivi accomunati da un tratto del tutto peculiare.  Si tratta i testi il cui consumo è soggetto a forme di regolamentazione pubblica e/o di autoregolamentazione da parte dei produttori e distributori.  Situandosi sulla frontiera tra educazione familiare e responsabilità sociale nei confronti dell’infanzia, i sistemi di classificazione si propongono come risorsa pubblica e intendono fornire ai genitori uno strumento efficace rispetto alle pratiche familiari di governance dell’audiovisivo.  Come si situano i genitori rispetto a queste norme? Cosa rivendicano come proprio territorio educativo? Cosa delegano? E, sul piano delle pratiche quotidiane, cosa ne fanno i genitori di questo strumento?
Exploiting solitons in all-optical networks.

description: Two key components, the pulse generator and optical signal demultiplexer, needed for the implementation of all-optical soliton-based local area and wide area networks are investigated. The technology of generating a bright soliton pulse train from a sinusoidal pulse train produced as the beat signal of two distributed feedback laser diodes passed through a so-called comblike fiber structure is developed. A design methodology for this structure is discussed, and using this approach a soliton pulse source is constructed generating 1553 nm pulses at a repetition rate of 50 GHz, with pulses of full width at half maximum of 2.0 ps. The fiber structure used to generate the bright soliton pulse train employs the lowest average power for the beat signal ever reported in the literature, and the shortest length of fiber. The same structure (with a different design) is also used to produce a 47.6 GHz dark soliton pulse train with a full width at half maximum of 3.8 ps. This is the first reported use of this structure to generate dark solitons. It is shown that the comblike dispersion profile fiber structures may also be exploited for soliton pulse compression producing widths as short as 200 fs. Two approaches to implementation of optical signal demultiplexing are discussed. These are the nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) and the separation of multilevel time division multiplexed signal pulses in the frequency domain by exploiting the relationship between the pulse's energy (i.e. pulse amplitude and width) and the Raman self-frequency shift. A modification of the NOLM scheme is investigated where feedback that adjusts the power of the control signal (by controlling the gain of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier introduced into the control signal input path) is employed to make the structure insensitive to the state of polarization of the signal and control pulses. In order to better understand the physical phenomena exploited in optical fiber soliton transmission and the above schemes, two experiments are conducted to measure the fiber nonlinear ratio $(n\sb2/A\sb{eff})$ and the Raman time constant $(T\sb{R})$ in single-mode fibers at 1550 nm. The fiber nonlinear ratio was measured for standard telecommunication fiber, dispersion shifted fiber, and dispersion compensating fiber. A value of 3.0 fs for the Raman time constant was measured and is recommended for soliton pulse propagation modeling in single-mode optical fibers.

description: Expected and perceived quality of school system and the school of their own children are of major importance in mothers’ experience. In fact they play a major role in taking care of children, particularly during preschool and primary school years. A careful review of specialized literature allowed to chose specific topics for preparing a questionnaire administered to more than 700 mothers from two Italian regions.  Through a Correspondence Analysis, results show that mothers from medium-high socio-cultural level expect a high level of quality of school system and of their own children’s school, with high level expectations concerning con-crete teachers. In the same vein, these mothers perceive a good quality of their own  children’s school, and their teachers. These mothers are satisfied of their own school experience.  “Being mothers is not enough”: according to mothers’ social positions life courses seem to influence both mothers’ and their own children’s socialization.
description: La qualità attesa e percepita del sistema scolastico e della scuola frequentata dai figli costituiscono temi cruciali nell’esperienza delle madri. Esse infatti svolgono ancora un ruolo specifico nelle pratiche di cura e nell’educazione dei figli, certamente durante il periodo della scuola dell’infanzia e della scuola dell’obbligo. Una dettagliata rassegna della letteratura specialistica sulla qualità della scuola ha per-messo di individuare dei temi specifici sottoposti, sotto forma di un questionario, ad un campione di oltre 700 madri di due regioni italiane. Grazie ad un’analisi delle corrispondenze, i risultati mostrano che un livello socio-culturale medio-alto delle madri è associato ad una qualità attesa elevata verso il sistema scolastico che si concretizza in scelte impegnative per la famiglia e richieste altrettanto impegnative verso gli insegnanti. Analogamente un livello socio-culturale medio-alto, la qualità percepita e, quindi, il grado di soddisfazione verso la scuola scelta per il figlio ap-paiono associati  soprattutto alla qualità degli insegnanti operanti in una scuola impegnativa (in parte suggerita da amici e conoscenti), e ad un’esperienza scolastica precedente considerata positiva. “Essere madri non è sufficiente”: le posizioni sociali differenziano i percorsi di vita e influenzano i percorsi di socializzazione e le scelte educative che li caratterizzano.

description: Background: Homelessness is increasing globally. It results in poorer physical and mental health than age matched people living in permanent housing. Better information on the health needs of people experiencing homelessness is needed to inform effective resourcing, planning and service delivery by government and care organisations. The aim of this review was to identify assessment tools that are valid, reliable and appropriate to measure the health status of people who are homeless. Methods: Data sources: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed (and Medline), PsychInfo, Scopus, CINAHL and ERIC from database inception until September 2018. Key words used were homeless, homelessness, homeless persons, vagrancy, health status, health, health issues, health assessment and health screening. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO. The National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia (NHMRC) hierarchy of evidence was applied; methodological quality of included articles was assessed using the McMaster critical appraisal tools and psychometric properties of the tools were appraised using the International Centre for Allied Health Evidence Ready Reckoner. Results: Diverse tools and measures (N = 71) were administered within, and across the reviewed studies (N = 37), with the main focus being on general health, oral health and nutrition. Eleven assessment tools in 13 studies had evidence of appropriate psychometric testing for the target population in domains of quality of life and health status, injury, substance use, mental health, psychological and cognitive function. Methodological quality of articles and tools were assessed as moderate to good. No validated tools were identified to assess oral health, chronic conditions, anthropometry, demography, nutrition, continence, functional decline and frailty, or vision and hearing. However, assessments of physical constructs (such as oral health, anthropometry, vision and hearing) could be applied to homeless people on a presumption of validity, because the constructs would be measured with clinical indicators in the same manner as people living in permanent dwellings. Conclusions: This review highlighted the need to develop consistent and comprehensive health assessment tools validated with, and tailored for, adults experiencing homelessness.

description: The average house in a remote indigenous community uses about a third of the power consumed by a suburban home, is six times more prone to overcrowding, and probably doesn't have a home internet connection. Among the rare exceptions - at least for the internet - are 20 houses in the small communities of Kwale Kwale, Mungalawurru and Imangara in central Australia. With federal funding, these households have been given computers, internet access and training, and receive regular visits and advice.
Sur la traduction des sociolectes dans le théâtre américain : analyse comparative de traductions françaises et québécoises.

description: Our hypothesis lies in the notion that texts are an intrinsic part of the discourses of the society to which they belong. As the written work is under the influence of the social discourses to which it pertains, so does its translation comply with the expectations of the target reader by incorporating socio-discursive elements from the receiving society. In this thesis, we explore the translation of sociolects as symbolic representations of speech. Our corpus consists of three American plays from the realist theatre, three French translations written in the fifties, and five Quebecois translations, three of which were produced in the seventies. The comparison of French and Quebecois translations enables us to observe that the changes denounce an adaptation of the original text to certain socio-discursive models in the target society which include the theatre aesthetics of the time. The discursive patterns that we noted in the original plays refer to two main themes in realist theatre: the American family and the American dream. After having analysed these elements according to the mainstream ideas prevailing at that particular time, we identified the modified sections of the text in the translations and commented on the new patterns that were emerging. Finally, we demonstrated that these transformations can be explained in terms of aesthetic, stylistic, and thematic tendencies adopted by the target society. In conclusion, this study shows that despite the translator's attempts to "faithfully" reproduce a text, he establishes links between the two theatre forms by adapting the original to the acceptability terms of the target society.
Adultità e crisi dell’autorevolezza tra continuità e cambiamento

description: In questo primo report relativo al mio segmento di ricerca, ho inteso costruire l’impianto teorico e concettuale che caratterizzerà l’orizzonte interpretativo privilegiato dei dati empirici raccolti già in questa fase, ma che verranno analizzati in un successivo resoconto. A tal fine ho cercato di muovermi su due direzioni principali: da un lato ho voluto fare emergere esplicitamente la centralità dell’adulto e della sua funzione educativa nel rapporto adulto-bambino, poiché il bambino, per il suo essere piccolo, debole, grazioso e privo di parola, è impensabile senza l’adulto, principio di guida e di organizzazione del suo sviluppo e delle sue condotte. Dall’altro lato ho individuato nella sintesi dialettica o dinamica dell’antinomia “autonomia-dipendenza” l’elemento spia, o variabile significativa, degli stili educativi adulti (agiti, nella fattispecie, dai genitori, dalle insegnanti, dalle educatrici) rilevati empiricamente in alcuni servizi per l’infanzia del Nord e del Sud d’Italia, mediante la somministrazione di interviste semistrutturate alle insegnanti e alle educatrici.
description: In this first report related to the branch of my research, I intended to build the theoretical and conceptual framework that will characterize the best interpretative horizon of the empirical data collected at this stage, but that will be analyzed in a subsequent report. To that end I tried to move on two main directions: in one side I wanted to bring out explicitly the centrality of the adult and its educational function in relationship adult-child, because the child, for being small and weak, beautiful and speech free, is unthinkable without the adult, guiding principle and organization of his development and his behaviours. In the other side I have identified in the dialectical or dynamic synthesis of the opposition "autonomy-dependence" the spyelement, or the significant parameter, of the adult educational styles (acting in this case, to parents, teachers, educators) detected empirically in some services for children of North and South of Italy, through the administration of semi-structured interviews with teachers and educators.

description: Nella società post-fordista della conoscenza il corso di vita e i correlati assunti di normalità sono soggetti a cambiamenti sociali, le cui caratteristiche peculiari sono la flessibilizzazione e l’individualizzazione (Giddens, 1990; Beck, 1992; Bauman, 2000; 2001; 2002). Gli eventi marcatori classici  il lavoro e la famiglia sono sempre più sfumati (Böhnisch, 2003), mentre cresce l’incertezza e l’insicurezza. Rispetto alla decisione di procreare, i giovani adulti devono affrontare il compito critico di costruire una famiglia, sebbene né la pratica né il concetto di famiglia siano più così scontati nel corso di vita degli uomini e le donne contemporanei e confrontarsi, non solo con i loro ruoli e impegni futuri di genitori, ma anche con molti altri problemi e compiti che fanno parte del moderno percorso verso la vita adulta. L’obiettivo della presente ricerca é quello di studiare in prospettiva comparata il comportamento riproduttivo dei giovani europei, mettendo in luce l’interrelazione esistente tra contesto istituzionale e progettualità esistenziale.
description: In the post-Fordist knowledge societies life course and related assumptions of normality are subject to social change, whose most noticeable characteristics are flexibilisation and individualisation (Giddens, 1990; Beck, 1992; Bauman, 2000; 2001; 2002). The classical markers for adulthood work and family are undergoing a process of delimitation (Böhnisch, 2003) while uncertainty and insecurity increase. As to the decision of having children, young people have to deal with the critical task of family building although neither the practice nor the meaning of family is any longer self-evident within male and female life course. Moreover they are faced not only with their (future) roles and obligations of parenthood but also with many other problems and tasks, which belong to modern growth to adulthood. The aim of this research is to study in a comparative perspective the reproductive behaviour of European young people, highlighting the interplay between institutional contexts and subjective life-planning.

description: Creative practices have made a standing contribution to mobilities research. We write this article as a collective of 25 scholars and practitioners to make a provocation: to further position creative mobilities research as a fundamental contribution and component in this field. The article explores how creative forms of research—whether in the form of artworks, exhibitions, performances, collaborations, and more—has been a foundational part of shaping the new mobilities paradigm, and continues to influence its methodological, epistemological, and ontological concerns. We tour through the interwoven history of art and mobilities research, outlining five central contributions that creativity brings. Through short vignettes of each author’s creative practice, we discuss how creativity has been key to the evolution and emergence of how mobilities research has expanded to global audiences of scholars, practitioners, and communities. The article concludes by highlighting the potency of the arts for lively and transdisciplinary pathways for future mobilities research in the uncertainties that lay ahead.

description: Il report analizza le rappresentazioni di insegnanti di scuola dell’infanzia e educatrici di nido, in relazione ai principali trend di mutamento sociale e istituzionale e ai cambiamenti legati agli stili educativi. Particolarmente significativo risulta su questo versante l’intreccio dinamico tra servizi e territorio: in direzione di sinergia e di collaborazione reciproca in alcune parti del paese; di maggiore attrito e complessità in altre.

description: Cette thèse tentera de démontrer, dans un premier temps, si les idéologies religieuses conservent une grande importance aux États-Unis, et ce, malgré la sécularisation apparente de la société. Une analyse du processus politique qui est à l’œuvre dans la mobilisation et l’action du Christian Coalition – organisation de la nouvelle droite chrétienne – permet de cerner la place qu’a le religieux dans la sphère publique, et plus particulièrement, dans la sphère politique. Plus spécifiquement, nous observerons les stratégies et les actions que le C.C. entreprend dans le but d’exercer des pressions et d’influencer les débats et le pouvoir politique, tout en déterminant la nature des enjeux qui motivent une mobilisation pour ce groupe protestant conservateur. Une évaluation basée sur le courant des mouvements sociaux illustrera la mesure dans laquelle la nouvelle droite chrétienne détient une partie du pouvoir social et jouit du rôle d’acteur politique par son institutionnalisation dans la sphère politique.
