[pt] Nesta dissertação, os documentários Peões e Entreatos, lançados em 2004 e dirigidos por Eduardo Coutinho e João Moreira Salles, respectivamente, servem para uma discussão acerca da complementaridade de suas propostas bem como da possibilidade de vê-los como um filme único. Com modos de representação predominantes diferentes - o cinema-verdade e o cinema de observação -, os filmes se articulam relacionados a um eixo principal de ligação, a trajetória de um operário, um homem comum entre milhares de outros igualmente anônimos, que chega à Presidência da República. É através deste eixo cronológico, que vincula intimamente os dois filmes, que serão levados em consideração os principais teóricos do cinema documentário. / [en] In this thesis, the documentaries Peões and Entreatos, released in 2004 and directed by Eduardo Coutinho and João Moreira Salles, respectfully, are the backdrop for a discussion about the complementarity between these two works. After all, with predominantly different ways of representation - interactive mode and observational mode- , the films articulate related to a main connection, Lula, who was a presidential candidate at the time. The films were shot simultaneously, as part of a same project from Videofilmes, fulfilling an old wishthat the directors would work together, but respecting their personal characteristics. Thus, having such different perspectives, how can they be so closely related? To answer this question, the main theorists of cinema will be considered, considering the characteristics of one another and how to identify if the films can be translated into one.

Des mesures sur parcelles agroforestières (mélanges d'arbres et de cultures) expérimentales mettent en évidence des productivités exceptionnelles, avec des gains de plus de 30% par rapport à l'assolement de cultures pures. Nous avons mis au point et utilisé un modèle numérique dynamique en 3-D (Hi-sAFe) pour (1) tester si l'intégration spatio-temporelle du partage des ressources (lumière, eau, azote) entre espèces suffit à expliquer cette productivité et (2) évaluer l'impact de différents choix de conception ou de gestion sur cette productivité, à partir d'une compréhension des processus impliqués.Nous avons développé une méthode originale d'analyse des données simulées pour identifier et hiérarchiser les processus déterminant le rendement. Le modèle a été paramétré et calibré sur un système noyer hybride / blé dur situé sur le domaine de Restinclières (Hérault, France). Après une analyse détaillée du fonctionnement de ce système, nous avons exploré par expérimentation virtuelle sa réponse à des choix de conception: (1) traits phénologiques des espèces associées, et (2) densité et disposition des arbres sur la parcelle. Par la richesse de son comportement, Hi-sAFe permet un regard nouveau sur le fonctionnement des systèmes agroforestiers. Il éclaire la complexité du système réel. Nos résultats permettent de proposer une interprétation déterministe du rendement de chaque espèce et de la productivité totale de l'association (Land Equivalent Ratio). L'analyse des expérimentations virtuelles permet de proposer des pistes concrètes pour l'optimisation des systèmes agroforestiers. / Measurements on experimental silvoarable agroforestry plots (mixed tree-crop) showed exceptionally high productivity, with yields more than 30% higher compared to the separate crop and tree systems. We developed a 3-D process-based model (Hi-sAFe) and used it to (1) test if the spatiotemporal integration of resources sharing (light, water, nitrogen) between species could explain this productivity and (2) assess how agroforestry design or management may affect this productivity. We developed a novel method for the analysis of simulated data to identify and sort the processes determining yield by order of importance. The model was parameterized and calibrated on a hybrid walnut / durum wheat located on the Restinclières field (Hérault, France). After a detailed analysis of the functioning of this system, we explored by virtual experiments its response to design choices: (1) phenological traits of associated species, and (2) density and location of trees on the plot. The comprehensiveness of the Hi-sAFe model provides a new insight into the functioning of agroforestry systems. It clarifies the complexity of the real system. Our results put forward a deterministic interpretation of the performance of each species and of the total productivity of the crop-tree association (Land Equivalent Ratio). The analysis of virtual experiments offers practical ways for optimizing agroforestry systems.

L’objet de cette thèse est d’expliquer le lien entre utilisation de marques et activités innovantes. Le premier chapitre décrit les principaux aspects juridiques des marques et passe en revue la littérature en économie et gestion s’y rapportant. Le second chapitre analyse comment et pourquoi les firmes utilisent les marques et comment celles-ci s’intègrent dans leurs activités innovantes. À travers une approche théorique et empirique, nous montrons que les marques sont utilisées en lien avec les innovations prenant place à l’interface du marché, principalement les innovations de produit et de marketing. Le troisième chapitre étudie les interactions entre marques et brevets dans la protection de l’innovation. Nous montrons que selon les caractéristiques du marché ils peuvent se complémenter ou se substituer l’un à l’autre. Dans le dernier chapitre, nous explorons les schémas d’utilisation de marques par les universités et leur lien avec les activités de recherche de ces institutions. / This thesis aims at explaining the link between trade mark use and innovative activities. The first chapter describes the main legal aspects of trade marks and reviews existing literature in economics and management relating to them. The second chapter analyses how and why firms use trade marks and how they integrate them in their innovative activities. Through a theoretical and empirical approach, we show that trade marks are used in relation to innovations which are at the interface of the market, mainly product and marketing innovations. The third chapter then studies the interrelated effect of trade marks and patents in the protection of innovation. We show that depending on market characteristics, they may complement or substitute each other. In the fourth and final chapter, we explore the patterns of trade mark use by academic institutions, and investigate how these relate to their research activities.

Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia - FAPEB / Different strategies of resource exploitation can lead to divergences in species niche realized. Niche differentiation may involve several niche dimensions, which can differ, especially in the diet, in space, and time. In this study, we measured the redundancy level or complementarity in the interaction network in a bee community associated with an agricultural system. The hypothesis is that the degree of trophic overlap on the diet axis in the community is low, with high complementarity, since there is difference in the resource supply over the vintages and, that the overlap on time axis is high with high redundancy at the time of the use of floral resources. The overlap niche on diet axis was low (NOih = 0.18) and 88% of pairs showed overlap values below 30%. Niche overlap on time axis was intermediate (NOih = 0.49), and 65% of pairs showed overlap values between 30 and 60%. The network analysis showed that the bees separate its niche on diet axis and presented additional intermediate specialization (H2 '= 0.46). And on the time axis (H2 '= 0.12) bees were considered generalists, with high temporal redundancy. When we tested whether environmental requirements determined the high redundancy at the time of use of floral resources, we verified that the temperature was not a guiding factor to structure the niche overlap in relation to the time of use. The results indicate that the low niche overlap on the diet axis and the intermediate overlap on the time axis should be reflecting the plurality of floral resources choices by different bee species, which used broad resource spectrum. / Diferentes estrat?gias de explora??o dos recursos podem levar a diverg?ncias no nicho realizado das esp?cies. Diferencia??es de nicho podem envolver diversas dimens?es do nicho, podendo diferir, sobretudo na dieta, no espa?o e no tempo. Neste estudo mensuramos o n?vel de redund?ncia ou complementaridade na rede de intera??o em uma comunidade de abelhas associada a um sistema agr?cola. Nossa hip?tese de trabalho ? que o n?vel de sobreposi??o tr?fica no eixo da dieta na comunidade seja baixo, com alta complementaridade, visto que h? diferen?a na oferta de recurso ao longo das safras e, que a sobreposi??o no eixo temporal seja alta com alta redund?ncia nos hor?rios de uso dos recursos florais. A sobreposi??o de nicho no eixo da dieta foi baixa (NOih= 0,18), e 88% dos pares apresentaram valores de sobreposi??o abaixo de 30%. A sobreposi??o de nicho no eixo temporal foi intermedi?ria (NOih= 0,49), e 65% dos pares apresentaram valores de sobreposi??o entre 30 e 60%. A an?lise de rede mostrou que as abelhas separam seu nicho no eixo da dieta e apresentaram especializa??o complementar intermedi?ria (H2?=0,46). E no eixo temporal (H2?=0,12) as abelhas foram consideradas generalistas, com alta redund?ncia temporal. Ao testarmos se requerimentos ambientais determinaram a alta redund?ncia nos hor?rios de uso dos recursos florais verificamos que a temperatura n?o foi um fator norteador para estruturar a sobreposi??o de nicho em rela??o ao hor?rio. Os nossos resultados indicam que a baixa sobreposi??o do nicho no eixo da dieta e a intermedi?ria sobreposi??o no eixo temporal devem ser reflexo da pluralidade das escolhas de recursos florais por diferentes esp?cies de abelhas, que utilizaram amplo espectro de recursos.

This dissertation seeks to explore the principle of complementarity, its advantages and its success so far through the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) self-referral to the International Criminal Court (ICC). It seeks also to investigate whether there are loopholes in the principle of complementarity, especially with regard to referrals by the Security Council involving states that are not parties to the Rome Statute. In particular the dissertation seeks to explore whether states can use this principle to hamper the efforts of the ICC to bring justice to victims of the most serious crimes of international concern and to end impunity / Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2008. / A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa).
