Le développement de la technologie d'avions sans pilote entraîne la création des métiers d'Opérateurs Systèmes de Drones et l'apparition de compétences nouvelles et spécifiques. Le principal enjeu de la thèse est de contribuer à l'élaboration d'une procédure de sélection. Nous avons analysé les métiers d'OSD afin 1) d'identifier le profil optimal, 2) d'évaluer le profil réel des OSD, 3) de comparer les profils des OSD avec ceux des élèves-officiers de l’École de l'Air, puis 4) proposer des perspectives de recherches. Notre approche exploratoire repose sur une validité écologique : les données ont été recueillies auprès de la population des OSD de l'unique escadron opérationnel de drone de l'armée de l'air française. Le profil optimal en termes d'aptitudes a été mis en évidence avec notre adaptation du F-JAS. Le profil réel des OSD a été évalué par des tests visuo-spatiaux et un inventaire de personnalité. Le profil des OSD requiert à un haut niveau les aptitudes de gestion des ressources attentionnelles dans le domaine visuo-spatial, mais également dans les sphères inter et intra-personnelles. D'un point de vue scientifique, cette thèse s'est intéressée aux spécificités de métiers pour lesquels il existe peu d'études en France vis-à-vis des besoins qualitatifs importants pour le recrutement et la formation, dans le domaine civilo-militaire. Les résultats permettent une meilleure connaissance des compétences requises par les OSD. Notre méthodologie pourra être réutilisée au profit d'autres spécialités telles que les pilotes d'avion de combat. / The development of this new technology causes the creation of RPA operator's jobs and the mergence of new and specific abilities. The main objective of the thesis is thus to allow a selection to be proposed. We ran job analysis 1) to identify the optimal profile for success with twice job analysis's methods, 2 ) to assess the real profile of the current RPA operators, 3) to compare the RPA operators profile with a profile of a cadet population, and then 4) we proposed directions for future researches and perspectives needed for RPA operators. Our explorational approach had be adapted using ground material data collected in the unique MALE RPA's squadron of French Air France. We adapted the Fleishman Job Analysis Survey and then we defined the optimal profile in terms of crucial and main abilities. The real profile in terms of crucial abilities was assessed with visuospatial tests and personality inventory. Results showed that the optimal profile required high level of attentional resources's abilitities in the visuospatial field, and also in interactive-social sdomain. From a scientific perspective, this thesis focuses on the specificities of new jobs for which they are few studies towards the qualitative requirements for recruitment and training, both in the civilian and the military domain. Il will offer a better understanding of the skills required to perform the tasks of RPAs operator, and the methodology we used, could be applied on other job's in aeronautics. By exemple, fighter and airlift pilots could be the next studied populations.

A Christian’s calling is largely misunderstood among the Churches today by both the clergy and the laity. It is not just a call to believe the Gospel, nor is it merely a call to pastoral ministry or to the mission field, rather it is a call to do specific good works that God has prepared in advance for you to do (cf. Eph.2:10). Rick Warren contends that this especially focused ministry depends on the way God has 'shaped' you. SHAPE stands for spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality and experience. Warren’s SHAPE analysis is a useful tool to help equip Christians by identifying their callings. Church elders could incorporate elements of SHAPE analysis into their equipping process and thus bring great benefit and clarity to those who battle to discern their call to specific good works. While the plain reading and applying of the Bible (according to the literal, grammatical, historical hermeneutic) is the primary method of guidance and is sufficient for identifying a Christian’s calling and equipping him to do it (cf. 2Tim. 3:16-17), this does not prevent the use of other helpful tools such as SHAPE analysis. Unfortunately many Christians do not devote themselves to a study of the Bible and so they lack general knowledge of it and therefore lack direction when it comes to their ministry calling. Christians therefore need all the help they can get, including SHAPE analysis. Care does need to be exercised when using SHAPE analysis for it can be understood as being highly introspective, which has dangers attached to it and even includes personality-analysis, which lacks Biblical precedent. The absence of thorough Bible study and godly character from the calling equation is also a cause for concern and makes SHAPE analysis deficient on its own to equip the believer effectively for ministry. Using SHAPE in addition to the general application of the Bible is however most beneficial. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2009. / Practical Theology / unrestricted

Sob o suposto geral de que a atenção e a memória constituem atividades cognitivas envolvidas no processo da aprendizagem na escrita e na leitura, no que a inteligência estaria neutralizada, levantou-se a hipótese de trabalho que pressupõe que as crianças com dificuldades de aprendizagem na escrita e com deficiências no desempenho em leitura, e que apresentam inteligência normal ou superior, mostram baixos índices de atenção e memória, o que não se verifica com as crianças que não apresentam essas dificuldades e deficiências. Com a finalidade de verificar essa hipótese foram examinadas 267 crianças, de 2' e 3' séries de ensino fundamental de escolas estaduais de Campinas, diagnosticadas com inteligência normal ou superior através do teste do Desenho da Figura Humana. Depois foram avaìiadas suas habilidades na escrita e na leitura e, também seus desempenhos em atenção e em memória. Com base nos dados dessas avaliações, as variações do desempenho em atenção e em memória foram analisadas considerando os níveis de dificuldades de aprendizagem na escrita e os níveis de desempenho em leitura como fatores estáveis, mediante a análise de variância com um nível de significação de 0,05. Os resultados dessa análise estatística mostram que as crianças de ambos os grupos (2' e 3' séries) com dificuldades de aprendìzagem na escrita, apresentaram baixos índices de atenção e memória e aquelas sem dificuldades de aprendizagem na escrita expressaram altos índices de atenção e memória, enquanto que as crianças com deficiências no desempenho em leitura manifestaram baixos índices de atenção e memória e aquelas sem deficiências na leitura expressaram altos índices de atenção e memória. Em conseqiiência, de acordo com esses resultados verificou-se a hipótese de trabalho desta pesquisa / Abstract: This study had as purpose to analyze performances in attention and memory of a group of children with and without learning difhculties in writing and reading abilities, considering that all of them have normal or superior intelligence. Under the general supposition that attention and memory constitute cognitive activities involved in the process of learning writing and reading capabilities, in which intelligence would not be relevant, the working hypothesis of this research is formulated. This hypothesis presupposes that children with learning difficulties in writing and with performance deficiencies in reading, presenting normal or superior intelligence, show low indexes of attention and memory. This is not verified with children that do not present those difhculties and deficiencies. With the purpose of verifying this hypothesis, 267 children of 2nd and 3rd series of fundamental teaching of state schools in Campinas werc examined. They were diagnosed with normal or superior intelligence through the test of Drawing the Human Figure. Then they were evaluated in its abilities of writing and reading and also in its performances for attention and memory. Using data resulting from those evaluations, variations of performance in attention and memory were realyzed considering the levels of learning difhculties in writing and the levels of performance in reading as stable, by means of analizing the variance with a level of significance of 0,05. The results of this statistical analysis showed that children from both groups (2nd and 3rd series) with learning difficulties in writing skill presented low indexes of attention and memory. Those without learning difficulties in writing skill expressed high indexes of attention and memory. Children with performance deficiencies in reading skill manifested low indexes of attention and memory and those without deficiencies in reading expressed high indexes of attention and memory. In consequence, in agreement with those results the working hypothesis of this research was verified. / Doutorado / Psicologia, Desenvolvimento Humano e Educação / Doutor em Educação

The present study investigated the effects of different goal and feedback conditions on performance of a basketball field goal shooting task and a more complex one-on-one offensive basketball task. Subjects (N = 100) were matched, based on pre-test performance, into one of five conditions: competitive goal, cooperative goal, mastery goal, "do your best" with feedback, and "do your best" without feedback. Results indicated the competitive group was significantly better than the "do your best" without feedback group in one-on-one performance. No other between group differences were significant, although some consistent group trends were present. Subjects' goal orientations were not related to performance in specific goal conditions, with the exception of mastery oriented subjects in the mastery goal condition.

<p>U cilju utvrđivanja efekata procene specifičnog programa vežbanjana motoričke sposobnosti i antropometrijske karakteristike dece pred&scaron;kolskog uzrasta, primenjene subaterija od 7 motoričkih testova i osam antropometrijskih mera. Istraživanje je sprovedeno na uzorku od 191pred&scaron;kolca (90 u eksperimentalnim i 101 u kontrolnim grupama), uzrasta od 4 do 5 godina. Oni su bili ispitanici u tri projekta koje je realizovao Fakultet sporta i fizičkog vaspitanja Novi Sad, u periodu od deset godina. Dobijeni podaci su analizirani multivarijacionom analizom kovarijanse (MANCOVA). Moglo se zaključiti da je primena eksperimentalnog programa vežbanja dovela do značajnog pobolj&scaron;anja pojedinih motoričkih sposobnosti eksperimentalnih grupa u odnosu na kontrolne grupe. U prostoru antropometrije nije pokazana statistički značajna razlika između grupa u posmatrane tri vremenske tačke u periodu od deset godina. Ova doktorska disertacija je pokazala na pozitivne efekte na transformaciju pojedinih dimenzija antropolo&scaron;kog statusa u različitim vremenskim tačkama i sa različitim generacijama dece, bez obzira na socio-ekonomskog statusa nivo fizičke aktivnosti dece. U osnovi, praktična vrednost ovog rada je analizirani model kineziolo&scaron;kih aktivnosti, koji se može primeniti u svim klubovima i &scaron;kolama koje rade sa decom pred&scaron;kolskog i ranog &scaron;kolskog uzrasta.</p> / <p>In order to determine the evaluation effects of specific exercise program on motor abilities and anthropometric characteristicsof preschool children, a battery of 7 motor tests and eightanthropometric measures were applied.The current study was conducted on a sample of 191preschoolers (90 in the experimental and 101 in the control groups), aged 4 to 5 five. They were the respondents in three projects implemented by the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education Novi Sad, in the tenyear period. The obtained data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). It can be concluded that the application of experimental and control models of exercise resulted in substantial improvement of certain motor skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. In the space of anthropometry it was not statistically significant difference between groups in the observed three time points in the ten-year period.This doctoral thesis revealed that positive effects of the transformation of certain dimensions&nbsp; anthropological statusat different time points and with different generations of children, regardless of socioeconomic status, level of physical activity of children. In fact, the practical value of this work is to analyze the model of kinetic activities, which as such can be applied to all clubs and schools that work with children of preschool and early school age.</p>

The purpose of this study was to explore differences in movement initiation and execution, and their associations with amount of physical activity (PA) and cognitive abilities, in 6 to 8 year old children born PT compared to peers born at term. The sample consisted of in total 78 children divided in subgroups, 16 born very preterm (VPT), 24 born moderate preterm (MPT) and 38 age matched controls born at term (FT) with no diagnosed cognitive or motor impairments. Three-dimensional (3D) kinematic recordings of wrist movements during two bimanual tapping tasks (horizontal and vertical) were finalized and kinematic outcome measures were investigated in relation to PA and performance on WISC-IV. Children born VPT showed significantly longer Latency times and longer Duration of movement execution compared to children born MPT and FT. No significant within group correlations between PA and movement performance were found. Duration of movement execution and Total duration of movement execution were negatively associated with Full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) and processing speed index (SI) in the PT group. Early school aged children born VPT need longer planning time to initiate and execute goal directed bimanual movements, compared to peers born MPT and FT. Kinematic performance did not evidently associate with amount of PA, although kinematics, by means of longer Latency time and Duration of movement execution, negatively associated with SI. / Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka skillnader i initiering och utförande av en rörelse samt deras associationer med fysisk aktivitet och kognitiv förmåga hos förtidigt födda barn i åldrarna 6 till 8 år samt åldersmatchade fullgångna jämnåriga barn. Urvalet bestod av total 78 barn uppdelade i subgrupper, 16 väldigt förtidigt födda, 24 moderat förtidigt födda och 38 åldersmatchade fullgångna kontroller utan några kända kognitiva eller motoriska nedsättningar. Tredimensionella (3D) kinematiska registreringar av handledsrörelser under två bimanuella knapptrycksuppgifter (horisontell och vertikal) genomfördes. Utfallet av rörelsemätningarna studerades i association till fysisk aktivitet och resultat på WISC-IV. Väldigt förtidigt födda barn visade längre latenstid och längre duration av rörelse jämfört med moderat förtidigt födda och fullgångna barn. Inga signifikanta inom grupps korrelationer mellan fysisk aktivitet och rörelseutförande hittades. Utförandets duration samt hela utförandets duration associerade negativt med IQ kvot och processhastighet (SI) hos för tidigt födda barn. Väldigt förtidigt födda barn i tidig skolålder behöver mer tid till rörelseplanering, initiering och utförande av viljestyrda målinriktade rörelser jämfört med jämnåriga barn födda senare i graviditeten. Kinematiskt utfall associerade inte signifikant med fysisk aktivitet, däremot associerade kinematiskt utfall, i form av längre latenstid och duration av utförande, negativt med kognitiv processhastighet.

En reflétant une image plus ou moins fidèle du cerveau, l’endocrâne permet d’accéder au système nerveux des espèces fossiles. A partir de spécimens exceptionnellement préservés de mosasaures (Squamata) et de plésiosaures (Sauropterygia), provenant des affleurements turoniens de Goulmima (sud du Maroc), ce travail a pour but de décrire, pour la première fois en détail l'anatomie endocrânienne de ces deux grands clades de reptiles marins du Mésozoïque. Cette étude a pour but d’inférer leurs capacités sensorielles permettant de comprendre leur cohabitation, leurs interactions et leur position au sein du réseau trophique. L'anatomie endocrânienne des squamates actuels, principalement des serpents mais aussi des varans et des amphisbènes, presque inconnus jusqu'à présent, a également été étudiée à des fins comparatives afin d’analyser les relations forme-fonction associées aux endocrânes. La variabilité morphologique de l’endocrâne chez les squamates actuel démontre un signal phylogénétique mais également écologique. De plus, la taille relative de chaque structure endocrânienne révèle des différences de vision et d'olfaction selon les espèces. Parmi les taxons fossiles, la microtomographie a été utilisée pour reconstituer en détail la morphologie crânienne de trois nouveaux spécimens de plésiosaures. Deux de ces spécimens ont été assignés à l’élasmosaure Libonectes morgani et le troisième à un polycotylidé indéterminé. La morphologie 3D de l'endocrâne a été reconstruite pour ces spécimens ainsi que pour le mosasaure basal Tethysaurus nopcsai. La morphologie endocrânienne des plésiosaures diffère de celles retrouvées chez les vertébrés éteints et actuels. En se basant sur la taille relative des structures composant leurs endocrânes, le mosasaure Tethysaurus et les plésiosaures semblent davantage utiliser la vision que l'olfaction pour interagir avec leur environnement. Ces nouvelles données endocrâniennes, ajoutées aux informations déjà disponibles dans la littérature, suggèrent différents modes de locomotion et techniques de chasse, ce qui leur a probablement permis de coexister à Goulmima en tant que prédateur. / As windows into the deep history of neuroanatomy, endocasts may provide information about the central nervous system of fossil taxa. Based on exceptionally preserved specimens of coeval mosasauroids (Squamata) and plesiosaurians (Sauropterygia), from the Turonian outcrops of Goulmima (Southern Morocco), the aim of this work was to describe for the first time in detail the endocranial anatomy of these two major clades of Mesozoic marine reptiles to provide insights about their sensory abilities, and thus to understand their cohabitation, interactions and niche partitioning. The endocranial anatomy of related extant squamates, mainly snakes but also varanids and amphisbaenians, also almost unknown until now, has been performed for the first time and used for comparative purpose to analyze the form-function relationships associated to endocasts. The analysis of the endocranial variability in extant squamates pointed out that endocasts reflect both phylogenetic and ecological signals, and that the relative size of each endocranial structure can be used to reveal differences in vision and olfaction according to taxa. Among fossil taxa, computed tomography was used to reconstruct in detail the cranial morphology of three unpublished specimens of Plesiosauria. These specimens have been examined and described, two have been referred to the elasmosaurid Libonectes morgani and the third one is an indeterminate polycotylid. The 3D morphology of the endocast has been reconstructed for these plesiosaurian specimens and the basal mosasauroid Tethysaurus nopcsai. The results show that the endocranial morphology of Plesiosauria differs from that know in other extinct and extant vertebrates. Based on the relative size of the structures composing their endocasts, both the mosasauroid Tethysaurus and the plesiosaurians seem to rely more on vision than on olfaction to interact with their environment. However, these new endocast data, added to information already available in the literature suggest different modes of locomotion and hunting techniques, which probably allowed them to coexist in Goulmima as quaternary consumers.

Title: Comparative study coordination skills in children from 7- 9 years Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to determine whether development of coordination capacity occurs within ordinary physical education hours, or if it is more effective to apply coordination training within physical education, or attend the general preparation of the youngest hockey players who have two times per week training of ice hockey and extra hours of physical education in primary education. Metods: The study consists of n=60 students from the elementary school. We evaluated coordination abilities within three months period. Testing was carried out during physical education classes. Results: Statistically significant change in coordination abilities was detected in children who attended physical education classes where coordination training was applied. There was no significant change in a other groups of children. Keywords: Coordination abilities, development, younger school age
