Etudier la dynamique politique de la constitution du problème public des OGM au prisme de sa médiatisation télévisuelle, tel est l’objet de cette recherche. A rebours des théories sociologiques classiques des problèmes, dont le constructivisme est devenu l’indéniable référence, cette thèse aborde la question selon une approche pragmatiste. Elle montre que les problèmes se font moyennant des épreuves et des enquêtes qui font émerger des publics qui configurent le préjudice subi et rendent leur situation digne d’une préoccupation de l’Autorité politique. Considérer les problèmes comme une expérience, c’est référer leur origine à la survenue d’une nouveauté qui modifie le rapport au monde et exige une demande de sens. Tel que le montre cette thèse, la constitution du problème public des OGM est inséparable de la prise en compte de l’émergence spectaculaire dans les années 70 de ce que l’on considère comme l’un des plus grands événements scientifiques de l’histoire du monde, à savoir les manipulations génétiques. Le lien que tisse cette recherche entre événement et problème public est à la fois central et original pour comprendre comment au milieu des années 90, les OGM alimentaires sont, de manière assez singulière, constitués comme problème public par un ensemble d’acteurs sociaux parmi lesquels la télévision. Si les problèmes publics font émerger une arène sociale de dispute composée de multiples scènes publiques, la télévision fait partie de ces scènes qui accueillent et participent au procès de publicisation. En tant qu’opérateur de signification, le dispositif télévisuel joue un rôle fondamental dans l’individuation de l’événement scientifique et du problème public qu’il engendre. Par l’ensemble de ses opérations de médiation, ses cadrages et contre-cadrages, il participe avec les publics politiques et d’autres acteurs, à la problématisation et à la déproblématisation de la question. Cette dynamique collective est au cœur de l’hypothèse générale défendue par cette thèse, qui est que le problème représente un grand moment de transformation au cours duquel la société s’auto-réfléchit et s’auto-produit. / The aim of this research is to analyze the political dynamics of the formation of genetically modified organisms as a public problem through television mediation. In an effort to distance this work from classic sociological theory of public problems, best embodied by constructivism, this thesis follows a pragmatic approach. Such as theoretical standpoint enables us to demonstrate that problems are formed through processes of enquiry which lead to the formation of specific publics. These publics will reconfigure the perceived consequences of problems, and try to make a situation worthy of consideration by public authorities. To refer to problems as experiences is to consider their origin as an occurrence of novelty, which alters one’s relationship to the world, and establishes a demand for meaning. As it is shown in this work, the formation of GMOs as a public problem is inseparable from the awareness of the spectacular emergence of genetic manipulation in the 70’s, which can be considered as one of the major scientific events of the known world.The strong connection between events and public problems is both paramount and innovative, as it allows us to understand how in the mid 90’s GM food organisms are formed as public problems by a variety of social agents, among which the television. If public problems create an arena of dispute composed of many public scenes, the television acts as a public scene which harbors and engages in the publicization process. As a provider of problematization, it plays a key role in singling out the scientific event and the public problem it gives rise to, through framing, reframing, and various mediation operations which include political publics and agents. In this work, the collective dynamics at work are central to the hypothesis that a problem constitutes a key moment of transformation during which society engages in self-reflexive and self-productive processes.

In this work we intend to take a reading of the Fourth Gospel by the literary bias, considering the narrative elements present in it. Among the present elements in the narrative of the work training, we will look more closely for dialogue on the understanding that it have a device widely used by the narrator in order to make known the identity of Jesus as the Logos - the Word of God. As theoretical support will be useful in the work developed by Robert Alter (2007) and, for a theory about dialogue as a literary device to build the identity of Jesus, we will use the Mikhail Bakhtin’s (1895-1975) philosophical theory of language. In his work on speech and language, Bakhtin understood that all dialogue constituted as an "arena" in which opposing ideologies were put into the fight for the dialogue partners. Observing how this happens, we will analyze two dialogues of the Fourth Gospel: The dialogue between Jesus and Nicodemus (John 3) and the dialogue between Jesus and a Samaritan woman (John 4). The two sections were chosen because in them the dialogues are constituted as the most significant part of the narrative. Thus, the study aims to examine the identity of Jesus is built by the struggle between opposing ideologies in dialogue arena. / O Quarto Evangelho bíblico – chamado de evangelho de João – é um dos evangelhos que mais receberam análises e comentários em toda a história da Igreja cristã. Neste trabalho intentamos fazer uma leitura do Quarto Evangelho pelo viés literário, considerando os elementos narrativos presentes nele. Entre os elementos presente na formação narrativa da obra, olharemos com maior atenção para o diálogo por entender que nele temos um artifício largamente usado pelo narrador com o intuito de fazer conhecida a identidade de Jesus como o Logos – a Palavra de Deus. Como suporte teórico nos serão úteis os trabalhos desenvolvidos por Robert Alter (2007) e, para uma teorização a respeito diálogo como artifício literário na construção da identidade de Jesus, usaremos a teoria do filósofo da linguagem Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975). Em seu trabalho sobre discurso e linguagem, Bakhtin entendia que todo diálogo se constituía como uma “arena” em que ideologias contrárias eram postas em luta pelos interlocutores do diálogo. Para observarmos como isso acontece, analisaremos dois diálogos do Quarto Evangelho: O diálogo entre Jesus e Nicodemos (João 3) e o diálogo entre Jesus e uma Mulher Samaritana (João 4). Os dois trechos foram escolhidos porque neles os diálogos se constituem como a parte mais significativa da narrativa. Assim, o trabalho pretende analisar como a identidade de Jesus é construída pela luta entre ideologias contrárias na arena do diálogo.

À la fin du XIXe siècle, les pionniers du théâtre populaire cherchent à s'évader du dispositif dit "à l’italienne" et à se rapprocher physiquement des spectateurs, pensant ainsi démocratiser la rencontre théâtrale. Dans cette perspective, ils utilisent des dispositifs non frontaux, bouleversant une longue tradition. La thèse, qui examine ce phénomène, rappelle que ces artistes se sont inspirés d’anciennes pratiques et ont restauré des formes antiques, élisabéthaines et médiévales, en particulier l’arène, la scène ouverte et le théâtre en rond. L’étude s’arrête sur ce dernier dispositif, observe son succès dans l’imaginaire théâtral moderne et constate sa rapide et paradoxale disparition. L’exemple privilégié est celui du Théâtre en Rond de Paris, créé par André Villiers en 1954 et animé par lui entre 1954 et 1984. Pour comprendre à la fois l’attraction et le déclin de la scène centrale contemporaine, qui n’a connu qu’un développement mineur et a quasiment disparu dans les années 1980, la prise en compte de la dimension mythologique du cercle est importante, comme l’est aussi l’utopie sphérique. La thèse apporte enfin quelques éléments de réponse quant aux raisons qui poussent certains artistes, en ce début du XXIe siècle, à choisir à nouveau ce dispositif et à en inventer des variantes. / During the late 19th century, pioneers of popular theater sought to escape the "Italian- style" stage to become closer to the spectators with the aim of democratizing theatrical entertainment. For this purpose, they used non-frontal stages, and thus radically altered a long tradition. The present thesis, which examines this phenomenon, recalls that these artists were in fact inspired by ancient popular practices and reintroduced antique and medieval forms, such as the Elizabethan open stage and the Theater in the Round, before considering the success of the latter in the modern theatrical imagination and its rapid demise. The example chosen is The Theater in the Round of Paris, created by André Villiers in1954 and managed by him until 1984. In order to understand both the attraction and decline of the contemporary Arena stage—which saw only minor developments and almost completely disappeared in the 1980s—reflection of the mythological dimensions of the circle, and the utopic ideology linked to the sphere, is imperative. Finally, this thesis proposes new ideas and elements for questioning why certain artists at the beginning of the 21st century still use some variants of this particular stage.

Croatia became an independent country 1991 and has since then strived to reach a democracy level, which can lead to membership of the European Union. The purpose of this essay is on the basis of consolidate democratic perspective to illustrate Croatia’s democratic development. In order to fulfil the aim, I have applied a qualitative text analysis technique. Through analysis of books and documents, data was collected to accommodate a valid result. I have used consolidated democracy, with its five areas (political, civil, economic, legal and bureaucratic), as my theoretical framework to the data, to provide answers and develop an analysis. The conclusions show that the consolidate democracy in Croatia has developed a lot since the independence, and Croatia is on its good way to turn into a democratic state like other West-European countries. Croatia has developed and is still developing their political, civil, economic, legal and bureaucratic areas. A good sign of their democratic development is that Croatia received status as a candidate country in June 2005 for European Union, which shows that Croatia is on the way to complete its transition to consolidated democracy.

Since the beginning of the 1990s, Swedish society has gone through a great change. Firstly with the personal computer and then with the internet moving in to everyday life, a new arena for interaction with society evolved. Work, education, doing bank errands and reading or discussing the news, just to name a few, now all take place in the virtual world online. Not to mention social media sites such as twitter, instagram or facebook, the last of which has over half of the Swedish population represented as members.    Companies, corporations, interest groups, political parties and politicians must be aware of the massive impact that a post spread through social media can have.      This thesis will, with the text analyzing tool, argumentation analysis, and on the theoretical platform of political communications theory, analyze three of the most viral Swedish political posts spread over 120 000 times each, to see if there are any combined qualities that point to the fact that there is a formula for getting a post to become a viral success on social media.      The main result showed that of the three posts analyzed, all were built up around a factual thesis, argued for with foremost example arguments, not only appealing to the logical branch of argumentation but also to the ethical, and that they tended to be of high relevance and sustainability. The conclusion must therefore be that these are all qualities that tend to be of relevance for making a political post on social media into a viral success.

Since its beginnings in 1974, the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network has grown into one of the largest, safest, and most efficient payment systems in the world. An ACH transaction is an electronic funds transfer between bank accounts using a batch processing system. Currently, the ACH Network moves almost $43 trillion and 25 billion electronic financial transactions each year. With the increasing movement toward an electronic, interconnected and mobile infrastructure, it is critical that electronic payments work safely and efficiently for all users. ACH transactions carry sensitive data, such as a consumer's name, account number, tax identification number, account holder name, address, or social security number. ACH fraud consists of the theft of funds through the Automated Clearing House financial transaction network (Accounts Receivable & Order-to-Cash Network, 2012). If the transactions are intercepted by fraudulent activities, either during transit or during rest, the sensitive customer data can be used to steal the transferred funds, which can cause financial and reputational damage to ACH network participants and consumers. Even though the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) requires ACH participants to use commercially reasonable encryption and authentication procedures, the risks associated with employee error or negligence, physical theft, and insider theft of data remain substantial. The ACH network that handles 40 billion transactions annually has consumer and corporate financial information. As the ACH network emerges as a prominent payment channel, proactive steps must be taken to guarantee consumer safety. The primary research question “How can opportunities to commit ACH fraud by insiders be inhibited by masking sensitive data in the ACH transactions life cycle?” is addressed employing design science research methodology with special focus on this specific question: Will use of Multi-step tokens in life cycle of ACH transactions lower the risk of sensitive data exposure? To demonstrate the extent to which the Multi-step tokens in the life cycle of ACH transactions lower the risk of sensitive data exposure, the following two sub-questions will be answered: • How to model and simulate sensitive data exposure risk in current ACH transaction life cycle? • How to model and simulate sensitive data exposure risk in the multi-step tokenized ACH transaction life cycle? The research findings through proof of concept simulations confirm that sensitive consumer personal identifiable information shared in ACH network can be made more secure from insider threat opportunities by multi-step tokenization of ACH data. In the to-be system, the real account number will not be used to post the actual financial transaction. Only tokenized account number will be used by RDFI (Receiving Depository Financial Institution) to post the financial transaction. Even if the ODFI (Originating Depository Financial Institution) initiate the financial transaction using real account number, RDFI will reject the transaction back to the originator to resend the transaction using the token value. For the same account number, RDFI will have different token values based on SEC (Standard Entry Class) code, origin, ODFI, transaction type etc. The account token value will be generated only if ODFI sends a token request separately to RDFI in a multi-step manner. The research findings suggest that multi-step tokenization can be used to generate and validate unique transaction path as a function of the transaction origin number, originating depository financial institution, Standard Entry class, Receiving depository financial institution and account number. Even if the account or token value gets misplaced, the data will be of no use to the person having the information. The cipher can be further strengthened by including additional unique ACH data elements. The findings stem from proof of concept development and testing of conceptual, empirical and simulated models of current ACH network, insider breach scenarios, and multi-step tokenized systems. The study findings were augmented by running different model scenarios and comparing the outputs for breaches, network traffic and costs. The study findings conclude with an implementation proposal of the findings in the ACH network and opportunities for further research on the topic.

La animación de tóner, procesos y principios Éste trabajo parte de la unión de dos intereses personales, por un lado el referido a la animación y por otro el copy-art. Fruto de ésta combinación y siguiendo una metodología principalmente empírica se ha alumbrado lo que podemos llamar "la animación de tóner", una posible nueva técnica de animación experimental de naturaleza analógica. La realización de un estudio pormenorizado de los posibles antecedentes en el campo de la animación de autor y de la electrografía nos permitió empezar a valorar la originalidad y potencialidad de la animación de tóner. Tomando en cuenta las características y limitaciones de dichos precedentes, se profundizó en la parte técnica de las máquinas electrográficas de impresión buscando la posibilidad de generar imágenes de tóner en estado latente (base de ésta tesis). Con todo éste bagaje, y a base de pequeñas experimentaciones, se ha llegado a desarrollar un modelo para el que se han establecido los requerimientos mínimos y los procedimientos necesarios para su óptima funcionalidad. Proceso que bien puede funcionar de manera autónoma o bien en simbiosis con su técnica hermana, la animación de arena. Finalmente, para estudiar y describir su particular forma y las aportaciones expresivas de ésta al ámbito de la animación de autor, se realizó una pequeña pieza demostrativa que reuniera todas las cualidades referidas a lo largo de la tesis y que validara la técnica en cuestión. / González Monaj, R.

Med dagens klimatförändringar där extrem torka och extrema översvämningar kommer allt oftare, behöver vi anpassa oss till nya förutsättningar. Matproduktion är något som påverkas men som kanske kommer lite i skymundan i Sverige, då vi är vana att allt alltid finns i affären. Till Sverige importeras stora mängder livsmedel, mycket av detta är sådant vi egentligen har resurser att odla själva. När förutsättningarna förändras i de länder vi idag importerar mat från, kan vi inte längre förlita oss på att det landet längre kommer kunna producera så mycket mat så att det räcker för export. När dessutom befolkningen i världen ökar lavinartat krävs mer mat. Förutom mat krävs också bostäder. Detta är två livsviktiga förnödenheter för människor i Sverige och just därför kanske den egna produktionen av livsmedel behöver öka. Framförallt i Skåne finns många hektar jordbruksmark, dessutom av högsta klass. Men ska det byggas bostäder eller produceras mat som är hållbart på lång sikt? I studien har personer från Malmö kommun, Länsstyrelsen Skåne och byggföretagen Skanska och Peab intervjuats för att undersöka hur skyddet ser ut för den Skånska jordbruksmarken men framför allt hur de värderar den och arbetar i praktiken för att bevara den. De slutsatser som har framkommit av studien är följande: Det finns en variation av intresse och värderingar om jordbruksmarken bör bebyggas eller bevaras för framtida brukande. Det finns en viss lagstiftning men delar av den kan däremot tolkas utifrån aktörens egna intresse vilket kan bli problematiskt. Detta gör dessutom att skyddet inte är så pass starkt som det behöver vara om det ska kunna bevaras för framtida generationer. För att uppnå detta behövs en starkare samordning mellan aktörer men också någon typ av plan eller strategi som tagits fram gemensamt av Länsstyrelsen och kommunen.

The topic of this diploma thesis is the architectural study of the cycling arena – velodrome – as a part of The Hněvkovský sports ground in Brno-Komárov. The new velodrome is situated next to the existing bicycle motocross ground and serves as a facility for the track cycling, indoor cycling and BMX. The core of the velodrome consists of the 250-meter wooden steeply banked track, which, together with other sports ground’s parameters fits the requirements of International Cyling Uninon for hosting international competitions. Cycling arena includes premises for athletes, spectators (stands are designed for 2700 spectators) and Favorit Brno administration and also bicycle storage and service areas. Facility includes also gym, fitness room, wellness and physiotherapy, athletes‘ accomodation. The velodrome is roofed with the arch-formed membrane anchored to a robust bond beam, that is brought to the ground in the front part of the building. This V-shaped bond beam together with the arched membrane geometry defines the building dynamic expression.
