This dissertation contains a study of the multitext manuscript Codex Holmiensis D 3 based in Material Philology and its focus on the material conditions underlying manuscripts. The aim of the investigation is to describe D 3 in order to increase understanding of its material conditions including content and circumstance of copying, as well as its use and purpose. D 3 contains 14 text works in different genres, for example romances, chronicles, and edifying works. The paper manuscript in the format of a holster book has been dated through its watermarks to around 1487/1488. It was written for the noblewoman Elin Gustavsdotter (Sture). An older manuscript, Codex Holmiensis D 4a, has previously been identified as the exemplar of D 3. These manuscripts are very similar as regards language and content. However, it is shown here that D 4a could not have been the model for D 3 in the case of the romance Flores och Blanzeflor; nor can the manuscript as a whole be a copy of D 4a. There are few traces of use in D 3, but the first work, Herr Ivan Lejonriddaren, has several concluding texts before its final closing. These concluding texts suggest that parts of the work were being read while the rest was being copied. There are also dual quire signatures in this work, implying that the quires were in disarray, possibly because they were in use when the signatures were added. The purpose of D 3 was to educate and provide examples of good and bad behaviour for the nobility. Moreover, there is an owner-epilogue which also stresses courtly ideals and can be linked to the concept of exemplary behaviour. The contents can also be ordered thematically, with first a Carolingian connection, followed by one connected with Ireland and finally one focused on the Christian community. Codicological breaks divide the manuscript into two parts, which leads to the assumption of at least two common exemplars for D 3 and D 4a. An emphasis on the materiality of the manuscript reveals it to be not so much an unwieldy collection of unrelated text witnesses as a book created for a certain person and her time. / <p>Felaktigt ISBN i den tryckta versionen: 978-91-506-2618-6</p>

Cette thèse se propose d’étudier les différents types de traitement utilisés par des locuteurs de français L1 et des apprenants étrangers de français lors de la prise de notes dans cette langue, à partir du discours oral magistral. Ce travail qui s’inscrit dans une perspective psycholinguistique vise à analyser la conformité et la fidélité sémantique et formelle des textes-cibles (les productions) par rapport au texte-source (le discours émis). Le cadre théorique de la thèse analyse différentes approches et taxinomies relatives aux stratégies communicatives en langue étrangère, notamment celle de Kellerman, dans le but de dégager une typologie des stratégies de traitement à étudier dans les données empiriques relevées. Afin d’étudier l’efficacité des prises de notes des participants à l’enquête observés, nous avons conçu une grille d’analyse intitulée une « grille de matrices » permettant d’analyser d’une part, le discours professoral (par la méthode de l’analyse discursive de Van Dijk) et d’identifier et de quantifier différents procédés audiographiques déployés par les noteurs observés. A l’issue d’analyses portant sur la forme et le fond des textes recueillis, nous avons dégagé des résultats détaillés relatifs à l’efficacité de la prise de notes des participants observés. Au terme des analyses, des propositions didactiques en matière de prise de notes en langue maternelle et étrangère sont formulées. / This thesis intends to study different types of treatments used by speakers of French L1 and foreign learners of French for note-taking during an oral lecture in that language. From a psycholinguistic perspective, this assignment aims to analyze compliance and definite semantic fidelity of targets-texts (productions) in comparison with the source-text (the issued speech). The theoretical context of the thesis analyzes different approaches and taxonomies relating to conversational strategies in a foreign language notably that of Kellerman, with the intention of identifying a typology of treatment strategies to be studied in gathered empirical data. To study the effectiveness of the participants’ note-taking, we conceived an analysis grid called “matrix grid” allowing to analyze, on one hand, professorial speech (through the method of the discursive analysis of Van Dijk) and on the other hand, to identify and quantify different audiographique techniques used by examined note takers. After analyzing the form and semantic content of the gathered texts, we formulated detailed results relating to the effectiveness of the examined participants’ note-taking. As a consequence of these analyses, didactic proposals in note-taking in a native or foreign language were formulated.

La confrontation de la territorialité à l’Union européenne constitue une analyse originale, dans la mesure où la territorialité est traditionnellement exclusivement associée à l’Etat et à la souveraineté. La territorialité se caractérise par une polysémie, véritable « pêché originel » du concept. Elle peut cependant être utilisée à profit, afin de dégager toutes les virtualités de la confrontation entre un système politique en construction et un principe rattaché à l’Etat. En se fondant sur les mutations qui affectent ce dernier, et dans un contexte propice à la globalisation et à l’internationalisation des relations, l’analyse qui se dégage prima facie de cette confrontation tend à démontrer une perte de pertinence de la territorialité au sein de l’Union. Celle-ci s’est en effet construite sur un certain effacement des frontières et la constitution de territoires propres. L’affaiblissement du principe sera ainsi effectivement vérifié. Etudiée sous l’angle des matières publiques, l’étude apporte toutefois une approche transversale nouvelle de la problématique. La mise en contact des systèmes juridiques nationaux engendre des situations transnationales et nécessite l’élaboration de techniques juridiques qui bouleversent les cadres conceptuels nationaux. En outre, l’Union européenne ne constitue pas une entité abstraite, désincarnée ; elle est la créature de ses Etats membres. Elle est donc, dans une certaine mesure, structurée par la territorialité des Etats qui répercutent sur elle, leurs spécificités. Par conséquent, loin de s’inscrire dans des relations simplistes, la confrontation de la territorialité à l’Union européenne aboutit davantage à la démonstration d’une relation dialectique. / Juxtaposing the concept of “territoriality” and the European Union is a rather original analysis in so far as territoriality is traditionally associated with the State and with sovereignty. The term "territoriality" in itself, despite its "original sin", that is to say its polysemous feature, can be used favourably to reveal the potential of comparing a political system in the making with a State-related principle. Given the changes that the State is undergoing and the development of globalisation and the internationalization of relations, the comparison between “territoriality” and the EU would indicate, at first sight, that the former loses its relevance within the Union. The EU was indeed built upon the removal of borders and the creation of a “unified” territory. The weakening of territoriality is examined in this study which also offers an original, cross-cutting approach to the topic from a public law perspective. The divergence between the legal systems of each nation results in transnational situations and requires new legal approaches which profoundly alter national frameworks. However, the European Union is not an abstract or unreal entity; it is the product of its Member States, based upon the territoriality of these States, which, to a certain extent, bring their own specificities. Consequently, comparing territoriality and the European Union is more complex than a simplistic understanding of the two concepts may imply and leads more to a demonstration of dialectic tension.

The methodological basis is Friedrich Müller s structuring theory of law, in which aspects of reality (the normative framework) are compositional factors of legal rules, together with the textual data or normative program. There must therefore be a dialogue between law and reality, breaking with the is and should be dichotomy that is typical of formalism. This thesis will systematically analyze the constitutional tax system (broadly speaking), in comparison with the other terms of the Brazilian Constitution, seeking to promote the conformation of legal tax rules to the condition of a social and democratic legal state and to the economic intervention of the Brazilian Constitution, electing the tax constitutional motive as the given that goes beyond the limiting concept of tax authority and takes in the purpose and cause of taxation, as a point of support for the exercise of the tax power. That position carries certain consequences with it, such as the (re)configuration of the constitutional suppositions for the institution of taxes, their adaptation to the constitutional finalities and social needs, the legal treatment to be given to the misuse of the product of taxation, the need for motivation and the importance of the effectiveness of the taxation rules, in accordance with the purposes stated in the Brazilian Constitution. This thesis will also propose a new classification of tax authority, focused on the specific purpose of each type of tax and on the constitutional motive for its institution/change, and that the paradigm of the optional exercise of tax authority be broken with and the requirement (mandatory) of taxes according to (a) the specific purpose of each type of tax, (b) its conformation with reality and (c) the proper use of the product of the collection for the constitutionally determine finalities / O objetivo da presente dissertação é promover uma leitura do sistema tributário nacional a partir da Constituição Federal de 1988 e da condição da República Federativa do Brasil como um verdadeiro Estado Social e Democrático de Direito, cujos objetivos e fundamentos deverão irradiar efeitos sobre toda a atividade fiscal (lato sensu), desde a conformação e exercício das competências tributárias até o devido emprego dos recursos arrecadados. O pressuposto metodológico é a Teoria Estruturante do Direito de FRIEDRICH MÜLLER, em que aspectos da realidade (o âmbito da norma) são fatores de composição da norma jurídica, juntamente com os dados textuais ou programa da norma . Assim, deve haver um diálogo entre direito e realidade, rompendo-se com a dicotomia ser e dever ser típica do formalismo. O trabalho fará uma análise sistemática do sistema constitucional tributário (lato sensu) em cotejo com os demais enunciados da CF/88, buscando promover uma conformação das normas jurídicas tributárias à condição de Estado Social e Democrático de Direito e ao dirigismo constitucional da CF/88, elegendo o motivo constitucional tributário como dado que supera o conceito limitador de competência tributária e engloba a finalidade da tributação, como ponto de apoio para o exercício do poder tributário. Tal postura trará algumas conseqüências, como a (re)configuração dos pressupostos constitucionais para a instituição de tributos, sua adequação às finalidades constitucionais e necessidades sociais, o tratamento jurídico a ser atribuído ao desvio do produto da arrecadação, a necessidade de motivação e a importância da efetividade das normas tributárias, de acordo com as finalidades consignadas na Carta. O trabalho ainda proporá uma nova classificação das competências tributárias, focada na finalidade específica de cada espécie tributária e no motivo constitucional para a sua instituição/alteração, o rompimento com o paradigma da facultatividade do exercício da competência tributária e na exigência (obrigatória) de tributos de acordo com (a) a finalidade específica de cada espécie tributária, (b) sua conformação com a realidade e (c) o devido emprego do produto da arrecadação com as finalidades constitucionalmente determinadas

Les compétences sont des objets de gestion complexes mais indispensables à l’employeur pour spécifier ses besoins et au travailleur pour tracer son profil. Agrégées en postes, emplois, métiers, elles forment des cadres transactionnels dans un espace constitué d’objets abstraits et de leurs liens. Cette thèse vise à affirmer la centralité d’un dispositif cartographique à travers l’examen : des bénéfices d’une mise au net de cet espace, notamment face à la transformation numérique ; du recours indispensable à un artefact médiateur technologique ; du rôle de cartographe, le maître d’oeuvre de la fonction RH, investie de la médiation et de la régulation sociales. La recherche s’appuie sur un parcours professionnel dans le domaine RH et, sur le plan méthodologique, croise les besoins de la gestion des compétences avec les apports de la cartographie moderne. Elle aboutit à une proposition méthodologique pour cartographier des espaces abstraits, appuyée par un démonstrateur internet SaaS. / Skills are complex management objects which are essential to define employers’ needs and draw one’s profile and wishes. Aggregated in positions, jobs, professions, they form a transactional framework in a space of abstract artefacts and their links. This thesis aims to assert the centrality of a mapping device by examining: the benefits of a clearing of this space, especially trough digital transformation; the indispensable support of technological artefacts to help a person or a group, to identify, decide, evolve in this space; the role of cartographer to be taken by the human resources function. The research is based on a professional career in the field of human resources and methodologically, crosses needs around the notion of competence with the contributions of modern cartography (GIS, geomatics, data visualisation). It leads to a synthesis by the design of a SaaS platform demonstrator, and a cartographic methodology for abstract space.

The radio astronomy and space geodesy scientific instrumentation of the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO) in Gauteng, South Africa, generate large volumes of data. Additional large data volumes will be generated by new geodesy instruments that are currently under construction and implementation, including a lunar laser ranging (LLR) system, seismic and meteorological systems and a Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) global observing system (VGOS) radio telescope. The existing HartRAO data management and storage system is outdated, incompatible and has limited storage capacity. This necessitates the design of a new geodetic research data management system (GRDMS). The focus of this dissertation is on providing a contextual framework for the design of the new system, including criteria, characteristics, components, an infrastructure architectural model and data structuring and organisation. An exploratory research methodology and qualitative research techniques were applied. Results attained from interviews conducted and literature consulted indicates a gap in the literature regarding the design of a data management system, specifically for geodetic data generated by HartRAO instrumentation. This necessitates the development of a conceptual framework for the design of a new GRDMS. Results are in alignment with the achievement of the research questions and objectives set for this study. / Information Science / M.A. (Information Science)

Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde die Strukturierbarkeit ultradünner, funktioneller Polymerfilme anhand von Diazosulfonat-Terpolymer- und Aminoterpolymer-Schichten untersucht. Beide Polymersysteme enthalten eine photoaktive Gruppe in der Seitenkette, die sich durch gezielte UV-Bestrahlung verändern läßt. In den Diazosulfonat-Terpolymeren wird durch die Belichtung die Funktionalität zerstört, während bei den Aminoterpolymeren die Funktionalität durch die Belichtung erst freigelegt wird. Dafür wurden Strukturierungsmethoden für verschiedene Längenskalen erarbeitet und auf ihre Eignung geprüft. Der Nachweis der erfolgreichen Strukturierung wurde durch an die Längenskala angepaßte Methoden geführt und damit die erzeugten Strukturen sichtbar gemacht. Die Veränderungen im optischen Absorptionsverhalten konnten an makroskopischen Probenbereichen nachgewiesen werden. Sowohl der verwendete Aufbau für die Strukturierung (Belichtung) als auch die Detektion mit dem 2-Stahl-Spektrometer erwies sich als geeignet. Es konnte deutlich der Abbau der UV-Absorptionsbande der Diazosulfonat-Terpolymerfilme gezeigt und quantitativ untersucht werden. Dafür wurden Lichtdosen von etwa 0,35 ... 39 nJ/µm² eingebracht und deren Auswirkungen auf die Absorptionsänderung des Polymers direkt festgestellt. Diese Messungen zeigen, daß die eingebrachte Energie und nicht die Leistung (sofern diese unterhalb 2,5 mW liegt) entscheidend für die Modifikation der optischen Eigenschaften dieser Polymere ist. Anhand der Meßergebnisse konnte eine Abschätzung der Quantenausbeute durchgeführt werden, die für die Diazosulfonat-Terpolymerfilme einen Wert von (12 ± 6) % ergab. Auf der Mikrometer-Skala wurden unterschiedliche Ansätze verfolgt, um die optische Strukturierung nachzuweisen. Der Nachweis optischer Modifikationen der Diazosulfonat-Terpolymerfilme wurde nach Belichtung mit hohen Lichtdosen geführt, da er sich nur in diesem Energiebereich mit der erforderlichen Empfindlichkeit realisieren ließ. Für die Aminoterpolymerfilme wurden Strukturen durch Fluoreszenzmarkierung nachgewiesen, welche sich als sehr sensitiv herausstellte. Im Anschluß an die Belichtung konnten topographische Modifikationen mit dem AFM gemessen werden. Mit dem SNOM konnten diese Modifikationen bereits während der Belichtung direkt analysiert werden. Die getesteten Methoden der Raman-Spektroskopie und der Metallisierung mit anschließender Röntgen-Photoelektronenspektroskopie zeigten weder die benötigte Sensitivität noch Selektivität. Die untersuchten Polymersysteme können in Form ultradünner Filme auf unterschiedliche Substrate aufgebracht werden. In diesen Polymerfilmen wurden Strukturen von der Millimeter-Skala bis Nanometer-Skala erzeugt. Anhand von an die Größenskala angepaßten direkten und indirekten Nachweismethoden konnten Veränderungen der optischen, mechanischen und chemischen Eigenschaften der Polymere analysiert werden.

The research problem that this study sought to address stemmed from a lack of knowledge about South African organizations and a dearth of empirical, quantitative research into organizations, organization structure and organization climate in this country. Five research hypotheses were formulated to address this problem and its attendant subpriJblems. A comprehensive review of the related literature and research was c~trried out and Organization Theory was traced to its earliest beginnings. A number of schools hased on Max Weber's bureaucratic ideal type were described and contrasted. Much attention was paid to the work of the Aston group m the United Kingdom and to their efforts to operationalize Weberian concepts and to incorporate them into a replicable body of quantitative research. Points of departure were re-examined and some new twists to Systems Theory and Structural Functionalism were considered. It was established that the demographic characteristics of both the sample and the population were similar enough for the results of this study to be generalised to the population with some degree of confidence. Much care was taken to test and validate each of the scales that comprised the questionnaire, and item analyses and factor analyses were carried out for every variable and group of variables. The measures developed in other parts of the world and by other researchers performed very well in a South African setting - as did the measures developed specifically for this study. Statistical associations and causal relationships between the various sets of variables, both at the sector level and at individual industry subgroup level, were sought by means of multiple regression analyses. Broad support was found for a 'culture-free hypothesis' that there are a number of stable relationships between organizations and their context; and these relationships will be constant in direction and strength regardless of differences in structures, or in contexts of structures between societies. Importantly, there were also a number of significant differences between this study and the findings of other studies which reflected South Africa's unique blend of developed and developing cultures and value systems. These differences provide fertile ground for future research in the field of Organization Theory. / Business Management / DBL

Vertrauen ist zentrales Element menschlichen Lebens und Arbeitens. Im Alltagserleben wird sichtbar, dass der Aufbau von Vertrauen Zeit, Kraft und Geduld erfordert, wohingegen der Verlust von Vertrauen sich schlagartig einstellen kann. Die Folgen, mit denen sich Unternehmen im Falle eines Vertrauensverlustes bei Mitarbeitern, Lieferanten oder Kunden konfrontiert sehen, können enormen wirtschaftlichen Schaden und den Verlust eines Marktvorsprungs zur Folge haben. Die wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen der Psychologie, Soziologie und Betriebswirtschaft analysieren das Phänomen Vertrauen aus verschiedenen Forschungsperspektiven mit je unterschiedlichem Erkenntnisinteresse. Da sich der Begriff also einer einheitlichen Begriffsbestimmung entzieht, wird versucht ihn über die Schnittmengen dieser verschiedenen Betrachtungsweisen näher zu bestimmen. Darüber hinaus werden Aspekte von Vertrauen beschrieben, die für die Entstehung einer belastbaren Vertrauenskultur in den drei Kulturdimensionen (interpersonal, intraorganisational, interorganisational) von Unternehmen relevant sein können. Die Aufarbeitung und Systematisierung des Forschungsstandes wurde dabei mit dem Ziel vorgenommen, Hinweise auf vertrauensfördernde und vertrauenshemmende Faktoren zu destillieren, letztlich also zur Beantwortung der Fragen nach Bedingungen für die Entstehung, Gewährung und Aufrechterhaltung von Vertrauensbeziehungen in betrieblichen Organisationseinheiten beitragen zu können.
