description: Notre étude porte sur la différenciation pédagogique en éducation physique et sportive (E.P.S.). Son but est de montrer, au terme de huit leçons les différences en terme d’amélioration des performances et de la motivation entre le groupe contrôle (effectuant une pratique non différenciée), et le groupe expérimental, réalisant une pratique différenciée. Pour ces deux groupes, l'objectif sera de s'améliorer à deux des tests de condition physique du livret d'EPS, à savoir le test de la corde à sauter et celui de saut à pieds joints sans élan. Pour ce faire, des fiches de travail de trois niveaux différents (niveau 1, 2 et 3) ont été réalisées. Les individus du groupe contrôle suivent un enseignement de niveau 2 quels que soient les résultats à l’évaluation diagnostique (pré-test). En ce qui concerne les individus du groupe expérimental, ceux-ci bénéficient d'une fiche de travail individuelle (niveau 1, 2 ou 3) en fonction de leurs résultats à l’évaluation diagnostique (pré-test). Les résultats de cette étude mettent en évidence l’importance de la différenciation pour les élèves faibles. A noter que cette étude s’est faite dans des conditions écologiques (quatre classes de 5ème CYT durant les cours d'E.P.S.) et non en laboratoire.

description: We investigate the exclusive rare baryonic $Λ_{b}\toΛ\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ in a family non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ model, which is one of the natural extension of standard model. Using transition form factors, calculated in the framework of light cone QCD sum rules, we analyze the effects of polarized and unpolarized CP violation asymmetries for the said decay. Our results indicate that the value of unpolarized and polarized CP-violation asymmetries are considerable in both $Λ_{b}\toΛμ^{+}μ^{-}$ and $Λ_{b}\toΛτ^{+}τ^{-}$ channels and hence they give clear indication of new physics arising from the neutral $Z^{\prime}$ gauge boson. It is hoped that the measurements of these CP-violating asymmetries will not only help us to relate new physics, but also help us to determine the precise values of the parameters of new gauge boson $Z^{\prime}$.

From Clinician to Administrator: Skills, Struggles, Strengths, and Strategies
Creators: name: Freerksen, Andrea
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2012

description: This paper discusses how social workers with a primarily clinical education and field experience can best transition into administrative roles in social work agencies. This exploratory investigation grew out of a review of relevant literature and informal interviews with four administrators with extensive clinical experience. It presents both the beneficial overlap between administrative and clinical work that enhances administrative competence and the challenges faced by transitioning clinicians. The paper concludes by presenting a range of strategies that transitioning clinicians can use to manage these challenges, as well as encouraging social work education programs to emphasize and provide increased training of both clinical and administrative methods to social work students, no matter what their specialization.
Unfulfilled Futures: Moral Maintenance in Domestic Private Adoption

Year: 2012

description: Private domestic infant adoption in the United States is an emotionally, psychologically, and financially fraught process. Since the economic downturn of 2008, “fall-throughs”—where a birth mother accepts money from a prospective adoptive family and then decides not to place the baby—have become more common. This ethnographic article examines the dynamics of these risky adoption exchanges as managed by the Chicago-area First Steps Adoption Center. Using the lens of clinical social work, the paper investigates the detective and protective strategies—indeed, the moral maintenance—adoption social workers employ to mitigate the effects of the “fall-through” for all parties to the adoption process.
Community Benefits Agreements in the Political Economy of Urban Development
Creators: name: Raffol, Matthew
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2012

description: In the past two-and-a-half decades, community benefits agreements (CBAs) have emerged as vehicles for residents of low-income communities to derive benefits from urban development projects. This paper locates CBAs in their historical context. It argues that the contemporary political economy of urban development has distinctively shaped their form and function. It theorizes CBAs as hyper-local civil-sector responses to unequal growth and market failures in the crucible of neoliberal urban governance. The paper concludes that while CBAs offer limited promise for equitable urban development, their organizing processes disrupt existing power structures and build possibility for further reforming the dynamics of urban development.

description: Detached shells are believed to be created during a thermal pulse, and constrain the time scales and physical properties of one of the main drivers of late stellar evolution. We aim at determining the morphology of the detached dust shells around the carbon AGB stars R Scl and V644 Sco, and compare this to observations of the detached gas shells. We observe the polarised, dust-scattered stellar light around these stars using the PolCor instrument mounted on the ESO 3.6m telescope. Observations were done with a coronographic mask to block out the direct stellar light. The polarised images clearly show the detached shells. Using a dust radiative transfer code to model the dust-scattered polarised light, we constrain the radii and widths of the shells to 19.5 arcsec and 9.4 arcsec for the detached dust shells around R Scl and V644 Sco, respectively. Both shells have an overall spherical symmetry and widths of approx. 2 arcsec. For R Scl we can compare the observed dust emission directly with high spatial-resolution maps of CO(3-2) emission from the shell observed with ALMA. We find that the dust and gas coincide almost exactly, indicating a common evolution. The data presented here for R Scl are the most detailed observations of the entire dusty detached shell to date. For V644 Sco these are the first direct measurements of the detached shell. Also here we find that the dust most likely coincides with the gas shell. The observations are consistent with a scenario where the detached shells are created during a thermal pulse. The determined radii and widths will constrain hydrodynamical models describing the pre-pulse mass loss, the thermal pulse, and post-pulse evolution of the star.
Electrospun Cobalt Based Composites as Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Year: 2022

Owing to its high energy density, simple device design, and flexibility; Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted much consideration as the most promising energy storage devices for their wide application in mobile phones, laptops, and also in electric vehicles. One of the critical parts of commercial LIBs which significantly affects its performance is the anode materials. The archetypal anode material applied for LIB is carbon-based nanostructures due to its stable solid electrolyte interface and remarkable conductivity. However, the low specific conductivity of these carbonaceous materials paves researchers to develop new potential alternatives. In this regard, different transition metal-based anode materials and their composites with carbon have demonstrated much high theoretical capacitance. Among these, CoO and Co3O4 with porous carbon nanofiber composites showed an incredible capacity of 952 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles and equally exceptional rate performance at high current densities. Such free-standing nanofibers (NFs) of cobalt-based composites can be prepared via the electrospinning technique by applying the electric field between the nozzle and collector while introducing the polymeric solution. This low-cost, one-step fabrication process devoid of using any hazardous chemical is found to be sustainable and successfully scaled up for massive production of ready to use binder-free anodes for industrial applications. Additionally, the facile tuning of the surface area, porosity, and composition added the broad applicability of electrospun NFs as battery electrodes. Therefore, this chapter summarizes the current achievements, the challenges, and opportunities for future research on electrospun cobalt-based nanocomposites as anodes for LIBs.

description: By the example of several typical thermally activated processes in atomic clusters, organic molecules, and nanostructures, it is shown that calculations of the corresponding pre-exponential factors in the Arrhenius law according to the Vineyard formula are in good agreement with the molecular dynamics simulation data for temperature dependences of characteristic times of these processes. This "static" approach (together with the determination of the activation energy through the examination of the potential energy hypersurface) provides information on kinetic characteristics of the system without resorting to numerical simulation of the time evolution, which requires large computer resources.

Il s’agit dans un premier temps de retracer l’évolution de l’enseignement de cette discipline depuis le milieu du 19ème siècle, d’un point de vue théorique, en se basant sur les Plans d’études vaudois. Dans un second temps, cet historique est prolongé (à partir des années 1960) par les témoignages vivants d’un panel de cinq enseignants ou anciens enseignants (Pierre Gisling, Jean-Claude Schauenberg, Marc Mousson, Charles Duboux, ainsi que Sabina Mettraux, dont on trouve ici la retranscription. Comment ces enseignants ont-ils envisagés et "pratiqués" la discipline des arts visuels ? Selon quelles modalités spécifiques se sont développés leurs enseignements ? Quelles représentations de la branche, les sentiments qu’ils ont conçus ou conçoivent-ils vis-à-vis d’elle ? Telles sont les questions qui leur ont été posées. Une série de positions informées et de regards distincts, en fonction d'horizons différents susceptibles de les conditionner, ont pu être ainsi dégagées, puis étudiées. L’ampleur des engagements personnels, les moyens développés pour valoriser la discipline on pu ainsi être mis en relief. Il ressort ainsi de ce travail que ces démarches, sous formes de publications destinées à un public large ou avisé (ici présentés et analysées), de demandes auprès des politiques, de montage d’expositions extrascolaires, ou encore d’organisations d’événements pour les élèves, ont contribué à faire progresser la discipline des arts visuels au sein des établissements scolaires vaudois. À travers ce parcours, le présent mémoire voudrait donc inciter les enseignants actuels à entreprendre des projets novateurs, à se mobiliser et créer des actions pour obtenir ce qu’ils souhaitent de la discipline.

description: Extracts of P. polyphylla rhizome are known to have a depressant effect on the CNS of rats and an excitory effect on isolated guinea pig ileum, Two components of such an extract have been isolated and identified as: I) Diosgenin 3-0-(o(-L-rhamnopyranosyl-1-2) ( O&(-L-rhamnopyranosyl -1-) -D-glucopyranoside, e = Tt) Diosgenin 3-0-(¢ -L-arabinofuranosyl-1-2) ((-L-rhamnopyranosyl-1-}) ee oneenosiae B 2 Identification relied on comparison of mass spectra and carbon-14 nmr of these natural products and a series of synthesised model diosgenin glycosides containing glucose and rhamnose. These included two monoglucosides, two diglycosides with sugars linked (1-6), and four linked (1-4). A linear (1-4) triglucoside and two substituted branched glycosides were also made. The synthetic routes used were a modified version of that originally developed by Koenigs and Knorr. Carbon-14 chemical shift values permitted a) the identification of the aglycone, b) the configuration at the anomeric carbon once the sugars were identified (by paper and gas chromatography) , c) the position of attachment of a second and third sugar moiety (although some ambiguity in the latter remained)

description: We calculate the Casimir-Lifshitz pressure in a system consisting of two different 1D dielectric lamellar gratings having two different temperatures and immersed in an environment having a third temperature. The calculation of the pressure is based on the knowledge of the scattering operators, deduced using the Fourier Modal Method. The behavior of the pressure is characterized in detail as a function of the three temperatures of the system as well as the geometrical parameters of the two gratings. We show that the interplay between non-equilibrium effects and geometrical periodicity offers a rich scenario for the manipulation of the force. In particular, we find regimes where the force can be strongly reduced for large ranges of temperatures. Moreover, a repulsive pressure can be obtained, whose features can be tuned by controlling the degrees of freedom of the system. Remarkably, the transition distance between attraction and repulsion can be decreased with respect to the case of two slabs, implying an experimental interest for the observation of repulsion.

A Study Of Interactions In Silica-Silicone Polymer Systems.

Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1983

description: Reviews are given of the preparation and properties of pyrogenic silicas and poly(organosiloxane) elastomers and rubbers, and also of reinforcement and elastomer-filler interactions in silicone rubbers. A series of silica fillers with varying specific hydroxylated surface area (SHSA) were prepared by the hexamethyldisilazane solution treatment of high surface area, high purity (>99.8% Si02), pyrogenic silica fillers (Aerosils). The quantitative and qualitative characterisation of the silicas demonstrated the gradual replacement of the silica surface hydroxyls (highly interactive) with trimethylsilyl groups (highly inactive). The effects of silica surface activity/ inactivity were investigated in systems involving either a high molecular weight poly(dimethylvinylsiloxane) (PMVS) elastomer, or low molecular weight fluid poly(dimethylsiloxane)s (PDMSs). In unvulcanised PMVS/silica systems (milled and non-milled), elastomer-silica interactions were studied through the measurement of non-extracted elastomer-filler complex (NEFC) and inter-related swelling parameters. The silica SHSA strongly affected the initial development of NEFC, though most PMVS/silica systems developed substantial NEFC levels on storage. Initial interaction levels are postulated as being dependent upon the amount of silica networking formed (due to interaction between particles ruptured during milling, and to inter particle hydrogen-bonding and condensation reactions), and on the amount of elastomer adsorbed onto the silica. For fully-treated silicas, interactions are considered to be dependent on weak elastomer-silica networks formed during milling. NEFC developed in non-milled systems if some silica surface activity existed but no NEFC was developed with fully-treated silicas. The PDMS/silica systems were studied rheologically. PDMSs with trimethylsilyl (inactive) or hydroxy (active) end-groups were used. In the former, viscosity increased with SHSA indicating filler aggregation and networking; in the latter, the hydroxy end-groups interfered with the networking, leading to reduced interaction. Similar behaviour was found in the development of NEFC in milled PDMS/silica systems. In vulcanised PMVS/silica systems, the effect of silica networking was demonstrated by analysis of the Young's moduli of systems containing various concentrations of silicas and subjected to a variety of treatments. The properties of non-milled rubbers were also investigated and they demonstrated the dependence of Young's modulus on milling and silica networking. Other rubber physical properties were investigated and were found to be dependent on elastomer-silica interactions arising from silica networking.
Post-main-sequence debris from rotation-induced YORP break-up of small bodies

description: Although discs of dust and gas have been observed orbiting white dwarfs, the origin of this circumstellar matter is uncertain. We hypothesize that the in-situ breakup of small bodies such as asteroids spun to fission during the giant branch phases of stellar evolution provides an important contribution to this debris. The YORP effect, which arises from radiation pressure, accelerates the spin rate of asymmetric asteroids, which can eventually shear themselves apart. This pressure is maintained and enhanced around dying stars because the outward push of an asteroid due to stellar mass loss is insignificant compared to the resulting stellar luminosity increase. Consequently, giant star radiation will destroy nearly all bodies with radii in the range 100 m - 10 km that survive their parent star's main sequence lifetime within a distance of about 7 au; smaller bodies are spun apart to their strongest, competent components. This estimate is conservative, and would increase for highly asymmetric shapes or incorporation of the inward drag due to giant star stellar wind. The resulting debris field, which could extend to thousands of au, may be perturbed by remnant planetary systems to reproduce the observed dusty and gaseous discs which accompany polluted white dwarfs.

It is shown that correlation lengths of fields in any field zone are different in equilibrium and out of equilibrium systems. In wide range of distances from sample surface correlation functions are should be calculated using a total sum of evanescent and propagating contributions due to their mutual compensation at some conditions because of anticorrelations. It is demonstrated that correlation lengths as calculated with a proposed formula are in agreement with a behavior of correlation functions of thermal fields in spectral range of surface excitations

Cultural Districts and the Potential for Urban Development
Creators: name: Thornton, Sean
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2012

description: This paper explores districts designed to organize a city’s cultural and arts communities and facilities. It further outlines some fundamental policy recommendations for community leaders undertaking such cultural district planning. Such planning policies cannot be uniformly produced across cities; they instead require careful preparation to accommodate the unique attributes of a specific urban area and its population. Furthermore, cultural districts can create disproportionate economic and social effects for residents of varying socioeconomic groups—in particular, low-income groups that may have unequal access to any benefits from cultural economic development. In order for a cultural district to fulfill its predetermined goals, it must garner support from local investors, businesses, culture and arts communities, and community residents who may benefit economically, educationally, and recreationally from its development.

description: The stellar parameters of RR Lyrae stars vary considerably over a pulsation cycle, and their determination is crucial for stellar modelling. We present a detailed spectroscopic analysis of the pulsating star RR Lyr, the prototype of its class, over a complete pulsation cycle, based on high-resolution spectra collected at the 2.7-m telescope of McDonald Observatory. We used simultaneous photometry to determine the accurate pulsation phase of each spectrum and determined the effective temperature, the shape of the depth-dependent microturbulent velocity, and the abundance of several elements, for each phase. The surface gravity was fixed to 2.4. Element abundances resulting from our analysis are stable over the pulsation cycle. However, a variation in ionisation equilibrium is observed around minimum radius. We attribute this mostly to a dynamical acceleration contributing to the surface gravity. Variable turbulent convection on time scales longer than the pulsation cycle has been proposed as a cause for the Blazhko effect. We test this hypothesis to some extent by using the derived variable depth-dependent microturbulent velocity profiles to estimate their effect on the stellar magnitude. These effects turn out to be wavelength-dependent and much smaller than the observed light variations over the Blazhko cycle: if variations in the turbulent motions are entirely responsible for the Blazhko effect, they must surpass the scales covered by the microturbulent velocity. This work demonstrates the possibility of a self-consistent spectroscopic analysis over an entire pulsation cycle using static atmosphere models, provided one takes into account certain features of a rapidly pulsating atmosphere.

description: The initiation of a novel neutrino physics program at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the purpose-built Forward Physics Facility (FPF) proposal have motivated studies exploring the discovery potential of these searches. This requires resolving degeneracies between new predictions and uncertainties in modeling neutrino production in the forward kinematic region. The present work investigates a broad selection of existing predictions for the parent hadron spectra at FASER$\nu$ and the FPF to parameterize expected correlations in the neutrino spectra produced in their decays and to determine the highest achievable precision for their observation based on Fisher information. This allows for setting constraints on various physics processes within and beyond the Standard Model, including neutrino non-standard interactions. We also illustrate how combining multiple neutrino observables could lead to experimental confirmation of the enhanced-strangeness scenario proposed to resolve the cosmic-ray muon puzzle already during the ongoing LHC Run 3.

description: The main aim of the present research work is to project and develop very large scale electronic integrated circuits, with particular attention to the ones devoted to image processing applications and the related topics. In particular, the candidate has mainly investigated four topics, detailed in the following. First, the candidate has developed a novel multiplier circuit capable of obtaining floating point (FP32) results, given as inputs an integer value from a fixed integer range and a set of fixed point (FI) values. The result has been accomplished exploiting a series of theorems and results on a number theory problem, known as Bachet’s problem, which allows the development of a new Distributed Arithmetic (DA) based on 3’s partitions. This kind of application results very fit for filtering applications working on an integer fixed input range, such in image processing applications, in which the pixels are coded on 8 bits per channel. In fact, in these applications the main problem is related to the high area and power consumption due to the presence of many Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) units, also compromising real-time requirements due to the complexity of FP32 operations. For these reasons, FI implementations are usually preferred, at the cost of lower accuracies. The results for the single multiplier and for a filter of dimensions 3x3 show respectively delay of 2.456 ns and 4.7 ns on FPGA platform and 2.18 ns and 4.426 ns on 90nm std_cell TSMC 90 nm implementation. Comparisons with state-of-the-art FP32 multipliers show a speed increase of up to 94.7% and an area reduction of 69.3% on FPGA platform. ... [edited by Author]

description: Quality of life is a universal living experience and is significant for older adults living in long-term residential care facilities. The purposes of this research study were to: explicate the experience of quality of life for older adults, contribute to the understanding of quality of life for older adults, and to nursing's extant body of knowledge by enhancing the theory of humanbecoming (Parse, 2007). The humanbecoming school of thought was selected as the theoretical perspective for the qualitative descriptive exploratory method study with 10 volunteers living in the same long-term residential care facility. Through the processes of the qualitative descriptive method guided by Parse's humanbecoming theory, older adults' experiences of quality of life as lived and described by participants were explicated. The findings of this study, the answer to the research question was: quality of life is fortifying tranquillity amid potential turbulence with the gratifying engagements of diverse affiliations, as envisioning possibilities arise with discordant constraints. The findings of this study have made a significant contribution to the phenomenon - quality of life both in terms of older adults living in nursing homes and from a Singaporean context.

description: The author tries to understand if the act performed in Rome, Sunday, March 15, 2020, by Pope Francis, who went on pilgrimage to the basilica of St. Mary Major to venerate Our Lady Salus populi romani and the church of St. Marcellus al Corso to pay homage to the Crucifix, is to be ascribed to the category of devotional or penitential pilgrimage. In communicative terms, what Pope Francis did in Rome is not an irrational, unconscious, impromptu action. Pope Bergoglio does not seem to put his person in the foreground. His constant conviction is to address everyone, without distinction of faith. His choice to go alone to St. Mary Major and St. Marcellus and his act of veneration of the Salus populi romani and the St. Marcellus Crucifix in St. Peter’s Square on March 27, 2020, respond to the same project of wide-ranging evangelization, which does not distinguish between believers and non-believers.

description: « L’école, par le biais des instructions officielles, invite les professeurs d’histoire à utiliser des imagescomme documents d’appui pour leur enseignement. » (Briand & Pinson, 2008). Pour la formation de maître Secondaire I, j’ai effectué un travail de recherche pour mon mémoire professionnel basé sur l’analyse iconographique. Je propose une séquence didactique qui s’adresse à une classe de 9e année n’ayant aucune connaissance du contexte général de la colonisation ni de la technique propre d’analyse iconographique. Ainsi, je propose aux élèves de travailler individuellement, puis en groupe, sur un corpus d’images tout en leur fournissant une grille d’analyse, ainsi qu’un questionnaire. Le thème du corpus est la représentation du Noir dans les images publicitaires coloniales et postcoloniales. L’objectif de ce mémoire professionnel est d’évaluer la pertinence de l’utilisation d’images en classe d’histoire grâce à une unique grille de lecture et de voir dans quelle mesure un savoir peut être acquis uniquement par cet exercice, sans complément d’informations théorique ou textuel. Deux supports m’ont permis de répondre aux hypothèses de recherche. Le premier est grille de lecture iconographique, présentée sous la forme d’un tableau à deux entrées : dénotation et connotation. La grille est remplie une première fois de manière individuelle, puis corrigée en couleur grâce à l’intervention des camarades de classe, au sein d’un groupe. Quant au deuxième support, il s’agit d’un questionnaire rempli par les groupes de travail. Cela me permet d’évaluer leur capacité à acquérir un savoir par l’observation d’un corpus d’images. Après l’analyse des résultats, je puis affirmer que la grille d’analyse proposée est un outil qui permet aux élèves de 9e année de dénoter et de connoter des images. De plus, j’ai réussi à démontrer que le travail de groupe permet d’obtenir de meilleurs résultats dans l’exercice de dénotation et de connotation. Pour terminer, j’ajouterai que les élèves ont su périodiser les images, ils sont donc capables de percevoir l’évolution de la représentation des Noirs dans les images publicitaires de la période coloniale et postcoloniale.

Bulk Polymerisation Of Polyurethanes
Creators: name: Williams, Edward
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1983

description: The objective of this work was to investigate aspects of the heterogeneous polymerization reaction of two components of a typical polyurethane formulation. A review of the scientific literature together with general isocyanate chemistry is given. The heterogeneous reaction between these components was found to be sensitive to changes in dispersed droplet size as well as temperature and amount of catalyst added. A study to evaluate the site of the chemical reaction, when these components are mixed heterogeneously indicated that the isocyanate components form droplets in the continuous hydroxyl component phase. As the reaction proceeds it was discovered that the dispersed droplets of the isocyanate component became encapsulated in the polyurethane product. It was also found that further reaction required the diffusion of the hydroxyl component through this product layer in. order to reach the site of the chemical reaction, the polymer/isocyanate interface. Models for this proposed reaction scheme were to prové useful in the description of the reaction parameters. Two approaches to the diffusion of the hydroxyl component through the product layer were investigated. These included that in which this component was considered to diffuse by a steady state diffusion manner. The other approach considered the diffusion of the hydroxyl component through the product interface by a non-steady state diffusion manner. The second order rate constant calculated from the model parameters for the heterogeneous reaction was found to be greater than that for the corresponding reaction in which the components were combined homogeneously. The activation energies calculated for the two above cases were found to be similar, indicating that the difference in the rate constants observed is due to a change in the pre-exponential factor of the Arrhenius equation. In agreement with the theories cf the model it was possible to influence the stability of the reaction components with respect to flocculation using additives introduced into the hydroxyl component. Two specific additives were found, by a novel turbidity method, to influence the stability. One of these was the commercially available LK221 and the other was synthesised in the laboratory. In order to successfully investigate the stability to flocculation induced into the system by these additives, the theories relating particle size to turbidity were adapted to account for the reaction between the polyurethane components.

description: The MCDA model approach is suitable when an intuitive approach is not appropriate, for example because the decision-maker(s) feel the decision is too large and complex to handle intuitively, because it involves a number of different and sometimes conflicting objectives, or involves multiple stakeholders with diverse views. If the problem is one that can be structured as involving a collection of alternatives that can be tested against several criteria, then the MCDA approach may be suitable. Such alternatives can be alternative choices, actions, strategies, or alternatives units.

description: Après quatre années de pratique de la maîtrise de classe en VSG, j’ai pu m’apercevoir qu’il était difficile pour ces élèves de la voie médiane de se construire un réel projet professionnel. La plupart du temps, ils sont convaincus que l’orientation VSG les a placés sur la voie du gymnase. Or le couperet fatidique des quatorze points vient leur donner, en fin de huitième année déjà, un signal clair : seuls quelques-uns parviendront à atteindre cette institution. Apparaît alors une grosse lassitude : « Pourquoi suis-je en VSG si je ne peux même pas faire mieux que les VSO ? Je ne me sens pas prêt pour chercher un apprentissage, que faire ? Si je pouvais aller au gymnase, ça me laisserait plus de temps… » Le cadre offert par l’institution scolaire est un obstacle au développement d’une relation de conseils. L’enseignant doit changer de rôle et devenir un accompagnant. Il doit créer une atmosphère dans laquelle l’élève puisse se sentir suffisamment en confiance pour aborder des questions qui ont trait à son monde intérieur, à sa personnalité. Le maître qui évalue doit devenir un conseiller qui fait évoluer ; l’élève qui est évalué doit lui-même devenir un sujet qui évolue. Si le rôle de l’enseignant est de conduire les adolescents dans leur construction des savoirs, en leur donnant des outils et des méthodes – le savoir faire et le savoir être – il doit se transformer dans le domaine de la transition professionnelle. En effet, il faut mettre les élèves sur le chemin de l’exploration intérieure, ce que l’on pourrait qualifier de savoir devenir. Le besoin de développer une séquence qui permette d’aider les élèves à mieux comprendre leur situation et à se projeter plus facilement dans une voie d’apprentissage ou dans une voie académique m’est apparu indispensable.

description: We report the serendipitous detection of the CO(17-16) emission line toward the quasar SDSSJ114816.64+525150.3 (J1148) at redshift z = 6.4 obtained with the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. The CO(17-16) line is possibly contaminated by OH+ emission, that may account for ~ 35 - 60% of the total flux observed. Photo-Dissociation and X-ray Dominated Regions (PDRs and XDRs) models show that PDRs alone cannot reproduce the high luminosity of the CO(17-16) line relative to low-J CO transitions and that XDRs are required. By adopting a composite PDR+XDR model we derive molecular cloud and radiation field properties in the nuclear region of J1148. Our results show that highly excited CO lines represent a sensitive and possibly unique tool to infer the presence of X-ray faint or obscured supermassive black hole progenitors in high-z galaxies.

description: This thesis examines the use of information. and the communication of information in local authority planning at the local level, and specifically evaluates the use of computerised planning information systems, in this context. The relevant literature of information science and computer information systems is examined. Through an examination of the concepts of ‘information: ; ‘communication' and ‘information systems' a hypothetical “model of planning information systems flows is defined. The model which has been used as a basis on which to construct information Systems in the drivers sector postulates that disaggregate information. Is® collected at the lowest levels of the hierarchy, and moves. up «the hierarchy in growing concentrations. A methodology is devised to test this model empirically so as to be able to evaluate its relevance in the tesieon. sof computerised planning information systems. A review of the literature and theoretical context is undertaken in terms of the statutory planning requirements, the theoretical planning process, the ideal information base, and the ideal and theoretical aspects are thus evaluated in two case studies. The case studies involve officers in two local authorities in inner London - one team preparing a District: Plan’, the other undertaking area improvement work. Cv ia) The research finds.that’ the orteinat model, adapted to local: ‘planning » is inadequate in explaining information flows: 2ins practice.

Today, the introduction of computerised planning information systems can be relevant to all these aspects of organization design, imo particular however management should be wary of the introduction of slack resources as a by product of computerisation.
