En octobre 2008, la France et le Québec ont signé une Entente en matière de reconnaissance mutuelle des qualifications professionnelles. Suite à cette entente, L’Ordre des arpenteurs-géomètres du Québec et l’Ordre des géomètres-experts de France ont signé en juin 2009 l’« Arrangement en vue de la reconnaissance mutuelle des qualifications professionnelles » (ARM) qui offre la possibilité aux géomètres-experts de pouvoir pratiquer leur profession au Québec et aux arpenteurs-géomètres, de pouvoir pratiquer en France. Dans le cas des géomètres-experts qui désirent obtenir leur droit de pratique au Québec, L’ARM stipule qu’ils devront accomplir des mesures de compensation telle qu’un stage d’adaptation incluant des modules de formation complémentaire. Il est spécifié aussi que les modules de formation doivent traiter des lois et règlements qui encadrent l’exercice de la profession d’arpenteur-géomètre ainsi que du droit civil, foncier, administratif et municipal québécois. Toutefois, l’ARM ne spécifie pas les éléments à inclure au sein des modules de formation. Une recherche a donc été menée afin d’identifier les différences substantielles pouvant exister entre la France et le Québec dans les domaines de l’expertise judiciaire, du bornage et des principes de délimitation de manière à cerner les éléments qui devraient être inclus au sein des modules de formation. / In October 2008, France and Quebec signed an Entente en matière de reconnaissance mutuelle des qualifications professionnelles. This agreement has since led to June 2009 signing of the Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs) for occupational qualifications between the Ordre des arpenteurs-géomètres du Québec and the Ordre des géomètres-experts de France. The MRAs provide the opportunity for French land surveyors to practice their profession in Quebec and for Quebec land surveyors, to practice in France. For the French land surveyors who wish to practice in Quebec, the MRAs state that they must complete compensation measures, such as an adaptation period, including complementary training modules. Training modules must hinge around the laws and regulations pertaining to the profession, together with the civil, land, administrative and municipal laws under which the profession operates in Quebec. However, the MRAs do not specify what should be included in training modules. A research was therefore carried out to identify the existing substantial differences between France and Quebec in the field of expertise, demarcation by private agreement or by judicial decision, and the principles governing land delimitation in order to establish what should be included in training modules

Numerous organizations have pressed in the past several years for improved security and privacy in online interactions. Stakeholders have encouraged the adoption of privacy-enhancing technologies, utilization of microcontrollers and hardware devices for key storage and attestation, and improvements to the methods and policies used for authentication. Cryptographers and security engineers have responded to these calls. There have been numerous papers published in the last decade on topics such as private information retrieval and anonymous authentication and the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) has released a version 2.0 standard for Trusted Platform Modules (TPM). Adoption and implementation of these techniques, however, has been lacking. Although the TPM 2.0 specification was released in 2014 there are no reference implementations of direct anonymous attestation algorithms compatible with the hardware. The purpose of this work is to implement and discuss the implementation of direct anonymous attestation on TPM 2.0 and to consider the scalability and performance of direct anonymous attestation schemes operating on real-world TPM devices. / Master of Science / Numerous organizations have pressed in the past several years for improved security and privacy in online interactions. Stakeholders have encouraged the adoption of new technologies for authentication to reduce the instances of fraud and identity theft. Researchers and engineers have developed standards and devices that aim to simultaneously improve security while maintaining user privacy. In particular, an organization called the Trusted Computing Group has released standards for a device called a Trusted Platform Module. This device is built in to many modern personal computers and is designed to allow users to authenticate without compromising their privacy. Even though the version 2.0 standard was released in 2014, however, there are no reference implementations of standardized privacy-preserving authentication algorithms compatible with the device. The purpose of this work is to implement algorithms for authentication utilizing a Trusted Platform Module and to discuss their performance in the real world.

Depuis le tournant du XXIe siècle, la publicité vit une importante transformation, dans laquelle les marques effacent de leur communication les signes à connotation marchande et contribuent, paradoxalement, à une marchandisation sans précédent de l’espace social. Dans cette démarche, on assiste à un discours publicitaire qui gomme ses promesses hyperboliques et essaie de se réconcilier avec les consommateurs, en mettant en scène de « vrais gens » et en intégrant leurs expressions singulières au sein de l’argumentation marchande. Envisager ce phénomène à partir de la notion de « témoignage » permet de concevoir une énonciation publicitaire à la première personne du singulier, basée sur un vécu présumé de l’énonciateur. Cet énonciateur atteste de son dire et, par conséquent, du discours marchand dans lequel il est impliqué ; il demande la croyance des allocutaires et les encourage à s’identifier au vécu rapporté. La publicité dite « testimoniale » dépasse cependant la simple fonction d’attestation. En effet, elle peut aussi faire l’éloge de valeurs, comporter un modèle d’exemplarité, susciter un questionnement éthique, en se mettant au service de la communication de marque dans toute sa dimension « dépublicitarisée ». Selon une approche pragmatique, ce travail s’appuie sur l’analyse des manifestations publicitaires diffusées en France, notamment entre les années 2005 et 2015, avec l’objectif de saisir les enjeux énonciatifs, sémiotiques et performatifs des formes testimoniales de la publicité contemporaine. Cette analyse confirme que c’est grâce à la relation évolutive entre les marques, leurs représentations et les consommateurs que surgissent de nouveaux usages de la publicité testimoniale et, plus encore, de nouvelles dynamiques de la communication marchande. / Since the beginning of the 21st century, advertising has undergone significant transformation, with brands removing commercial overtones from their communication and contributing, somewhat paradoxically, to the unprecedented commercialisation of social space. In the process, the advertising message is erasing extravagant promises and attempting to reconnect with consumers, by featuring “real people” and incorporating their personal expression into marketing arguments. Developing this phenomenon around the concept of testimony allows for the crafting of an advertising message in the first person singular, based on the supposed experience of the speaker. This speaker’s statement vouches for the sales pitch in which he is implicated; he asks his audience to believe him and encourages them to identify with the experience he is sharing. But so-called “testimonial” advertising goes beyond the mere role of attestation. Indeed, it can be used to conceal commercial interests of brand communication, by praising values, offering an exemplary model and stimulating ethical reflection. Based on a pragmatic approach, this study draws on an analysis of advertising in France, principally between 2005 and 2015, with the aim to understand the enonciative, semiotic and performative issues in testimonial forms of contemporary advertising. This analysis confirms that the evolutary relationship between brands, their representations and customers has lead to the emergence of new forms of testimonial advertising and, furthermore, to new dynamics in brand communication.

La mobilité internationale des personnes exerçant dans le domaine de la santé, comme les médecins et les infirmières, est un phénomène très marqué depuis le début du XXIe siècle. Le Canada fait partie des pays qui accueillent ces professionnels afin de répondre à des besoins de main-d'œuvre de plus en plus importants. Afin d'y exercer leur profession, ces professionnels formés à l'étranger doivent obtenir un permis d'exercice délivré par un organisme de réglementation professionnelle. Cette thèse de doctorat en relations industrielles porte sur l'analyse de la structure de coordination entre les acteurs de la reconnaissance des compétences au Québec, à travers le cas des infirmières diplômées hors Québec (IDHQ) et des médecins diplômés hors Canada et États-Unis (DHCEU) que l'on appelle aussi diplômés internationaux en médecine (DIM). En effet, au Québec, ces deux professions sont réglementées et toute personne immigrante désirant exercer une de ces deux professions doit passer à travers un processus de reconnaissance de ses compétences pour obtenir un permis d'exercice de l'ordre professionnel concerné, quel que soit son statut migratoire. La littérature a mis de l'avant les difficultés rencontrées par ces professionnels pour faire reconnaitre leurs compétences et exercer leur profession au Québec, ainsi que le manque de coordination des acteurs de la reconnaissance des compétences au Québec. Nous avons donc voulu en savoir plus sur la structure de coordination des acteurs de la reconnaissance des compétences des médecins et infirmières immigrants au Québec et connaitre le processus par lequel doivent passer ces professionnels formés à l'étranger pour exercer légitimement leur profession. Sur le plan théorique, nous avons mobilisé la théorie des conventions. Nous nous appuyons plus spécifiquement sur les travaux de François Eymard-Duvernay dans le domaine du recrutement et de l'évaluation des compétences des travailleurs. Sur le plan méthodologique, nous avons mené une démarche qualitative. L'analyse d'une documentation institutionnelle importante et de 68 entrevues semi-dirigées avec 13 IDHQ, 22 DHCEU et 33 acteurs de la reconnaissance des compétences de ces professionnels formés à l'étranger nous ont permis de répondre à nos objectifs de recherche. D'abord, les résultats rendent compte de la complexité de la coordination des acteurs institutionnels. Nous avons pu identifier les acteurs, les étapes, les règles, la nature des tensions et les blocages de la reconnaissance des compétences des DHCEU et des IDHQ au Québec. Ensuite, la recherche met en lumière les impacts des politiques publiques sur la reconnaissance des compétences des DHCEU et des IDHQ et leur intégration dans leur profession respective. Enfin, les résultats permettent de comprendre le rôle du MSSS dans le processus de reconnaissance des compétences et l'intégration des DHCEU et des IDHQ dans leur profession car il est à la fois régulateur, recruteur et principal employeur des médecins et des infirmières au Québec. Nous montrons dans cette recherche, à travers l'analyse des dimensions du jugement de la qualité des compétences des DHCEU et des IDHQ et des paramètres qui caractérisent les conventions de qualité, comment les épreuves, qui s'enchainent les unes après les autres et que les DHCEU et les IDHQ doivent réussir successivement, mènent certains d'entre eux à l'exclusion du parcours de reconnaissance des compétences et de l'exercice de la profession de médecin ou d'infirmière au Québec. / The international mobility of health care workers, such as doctors and nurses, has been a significant phenomenon since the beginning of the 21st century. Canada is one of the countries that welcome these professionals to meet growing labour needs. To practice their profession in Canada, these foreign-trained professionals must obtain a licence to practice issued by a professional regulatory body. This doctoral thesis in industrial relations focuses on the analysis of the coordination structure between the actors in the recognition of competencies in Quebec, through the case of international educated nurses (IENs) and international medical graduates (IMGs). In Quebec, these two professions are regulated and any immigrant wishing to practise one of these two professions must go through a process of recognition of his or her skills to obtain a permit to practise from the professional order concerned, regardless of his or her migratory status. Previous studies have highlighted the difficulties encountered by these professionals in having their skills recognised and practising their profession in Quebec, as well as the lack of coordination among the actors in skills recognition in Quebec. We therefore wanted to learn more about the coordination structure of the actors involved in recognizing the skills of immigrant doctors and nurses in Quebec and to understand the process that these foreign-trained professionals must go through to legitimately practice their profession. On the theoretical level, we have mobilised the theory of conventions, and more specifically, we relied on the work of François Eymard-Duvernay in the field of recruitment and evaluation of workers' skills. We used a qualitative research based on 68 semi-structured interviews, realised with 13 IENs, 22 IMGs and 33 actors involved in the recognition of the skills of these foreign-trained professionals. First, the results show the complexity of the coordination of institutional actors. We were able to identify the actors, the stages, the rules, the nature of the tensions and the blockages in the recognition of the competencies of IMGs and IENs in Quebec. The research then highlights the impacts of public policies on the recognition of IMGs' and IEN's competencies and their integration into their respective professions. Finally, the results allow us to understand the role of the Ministry of Health and Social Services in the process of recognizing the competencies and integrating IMGs and IENs into their profession, since it is the regulator, recruiter and main employer of physicians and nurses in Quebec. We show in this research, through the analysis of the dimensions of the judgment of the quality of IMGs' and IENs' competencies and the parameters that characterize the quality conventions, how the tests, which follow one another and which IMGs and IENs must pass successively, lead some of them to be excluded from the competency recognition process and from practicing the profession of physician or nurse in Quebec.

Matthew Scott Wireman, Ph.D. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2012 Chair: Dr. Stephen J. Wellum This dissertation examines the Protestant doctrine of Scripture's self-witness of divine authority. Chapter 1 examines the current evangelical milieu. The doctrine has become nearly obsolete in the discussion of systematic theology. Consequentially, wherein lies authority has been greatly misunderstood in Protestant circles. Chapter 2 surveys the doctrine through the history of the church. Particular note is made of Augustine, John Calvin, John Owen, and Herman Bavinck. This chapter evinces the near consensus of the church that the authority for the Church is found preeminently in the Scriptures. Chapter 3 summarizes post-conservative, Stanley J. Grenz and John R. Franke, attempts to ground theology in Scripture plus culture and tradition. This chapter does not offer a critique as much as it aims to represent post-conservatives in their own words. Chapter 4 looks at how the Old Testament viewed itself--particularly through the ministries of Moses and the prophets. YHWH chose representatives who would speak to the covenant community and write down the stipulations and history of YHWH's relationship with Israel for posterity. Chapter 5 looks at the New Testament, which follows the paradigm instituted by the Old Testament. In the person and work of Jesus Christ, God's promises find their fulfillment, which foments his commissioning of the Twelve Apostles to be his spokesmen. Chapter 6 ties together the threads that cohere in the two testaments of Scripture. It makes explicit the claims of Scripture that God is a se, he communicates with his creation, he uses spokesmen, and his written Word is its own witness for its authority. Chapter 7 defines the doctrine of Scripture's self-witness and applies it to tradition, culture, and the task of apologetics. The chapter explicates the thesis of the dissertation that Scripture's self-witness must be the ground of systematic theology.

What is forgetfulness? How does it show? Is it a part of memory or can it be considered on its own? In the philosophical discourse forgetfulness is limited and the phenomenon is mostly portrayed as a pathological or obscure counterpart of memory. This portraying of forgetfulness can be seen as traditional way of describing it, but there is some philosophers who has spoken of forgetfulness in more fruitful ways. These ways are not to be interpreted as aspirations to decouple forgetfulness from memory, rather they are to be seen as attempts to interpret this relation on another basis. This basis has also led this essay towards an interpretation of forgetfulness' relation to truth. The aim of this essay is thereby to examine forgetfulness as phenomenon and its relation to truth. To approach these subject-matters I've taken Paul Ricoeur's Memory, History, Forgetting and Martin Heidegger's Being and Time to my help. In Memory, History, Forgetting Ricoeur tries to portray forgetfulness as an essential part of human life that's not a deficiency, but nor is it intended to be seen as an incentive to forget. We are rather encouraged to remember, thereof his watchword “the obligation to remember” which is also linked to “the truth status of memory”. Heidegger too considers forgetfulness in Being and Time as an essential part of the human life, or as he writes, of everydayness. Remarkably, Heidegger's translations of the greek words lēthē and its privation alētheia are translatable by him as the words for forgetfulness (concealment) and truth (unconcealment). This opens up a view on forgetfulness and truth as radically different from Ricoeur's and thereof the traditional. The disparity between the two philosophers allows this relation to point beyond the two of them as a possibility and a necessity to make room for forgetfulness as a multifaceted phenomenon in the philosophical discourse.

Today's vehicles are controlled by several so called electronic control units (ECUs). ECUs can be seen as small computers that work together in order to perform a common task. They control everything from critical tasks such as engine control to less critical functionality such as window control. The most prominent trend that can be observed today is the development of self-driving functionality. Due to inherent complexity of self-driving functionality, ECUs are becoming more dependent on each other. A fundamental problem in today's vehicles is that there does not exist any efficient way of achieving trust in the vehicle's internal-network. How can ECUs be assured that the output of other ECUs can be trusted? If an ECU produces the wrong output when the vehicle is in autonomous mode it can lead to the vehicle performing unsafe actions and risking the lives of the passengers and driver. In this thesis we evaluate different already established firmware attestation solutions for achieving trust in a decentralized network. Furthermore, three new firmware attestation solutions specially tailored for the automotive domain are proposed. We demonstrate that all the found existing solutions have a fundamental flaw, they all have a single point of failure. Meaning that if you eliminate the correct node, the entire attestation process stops functioning. Thus, a new more robust solution specially tailored for the automotive domain needed to be developed. Three different consistency verification mechanisms were designed. One parallel solution, one serial solution and one merkle-tree solution. Two of the three proposed solutions, the parallel solution and serial solution, were implemented and assessed. Two tests were conducted, a detection performance test and a timing performance test. By assessing the detection performance test and timing performance test of the serial and parallel solutions, it was concluded that the parallel solution showed a significant improvement in both stability and performance over the serial solution.
