La validation des acquis de l'expérience est ici développée autour d'une thématique concernant l'électropneumatique asservie. Une première partie énumère les participations et les contributions à des travaux de recherches afin d'utiliser ceux-ci à la réalisation de produits industriels innovants et utilisant des connaissances multidisciplinaires. Puis l'on montre que l'expérience concrète tirée des activités précédentes, suivie d'analyses critiques et de réflexion, a conduit à la création et à la participation active de travaux de normalisation au niveau international. Enfin une synthèse et une formalisation de ces activités de recherches et d'applications industrielles innovantes ont permis le développement d'activités de formation. Une seconde partie développe l'approche théorique et technique permettant de mieux comprendre et juger le saut technologique nécessaire à la création et à l'adaptation de produits industriels innovants axes asservis et modulateurs de puissance électropneumatiques à partir de demandes marché plus ou moins formalisées. Tout au long de ce document, les interactions entre les aspects industriels et recherches universitaires sont exposées. Cette interaction conduisant à un enrichissement mutuel par l'acquis de l'expérience vécue / The validation of experience is here developed around a theme concerning the electropneumatic servocontrolled. A first part lists the interests and contributions to research work in order to use them in the realization of innovative industrial products and using multidisciplinary knowledge. Then we show that the practical experience of previous activities, followed by critical analysis and reflection, led to the creation and active participation in standardization activities at international level. Finally a synthesis and formalization of these research activities and innovative industrial applications led to the development of training activities. A second part develops the theoretical and technical approach to better understand and assess the technological leap required for the creation and adaptation of innovative industrial products servo axes and modulators of electro power from market demands more or less formalized. Throughout this document the interactions between industrial and academic research aspects are discussed. This interaction leads to mutual enrichment acquired through experience

創新已成為現代組織成長及獲利之關鍵，卻因其多變且不確定的本質使組織承擔了高度風險，而進一步觀察組織創新流程，可說是透過一系列的實驗行動來加以實現，對組織競爭力扮演著關鍵的角色。 以探討促進與維持組織實驗行動及其影響要素為研究目的，經由文獻探討與前導個案之觀察與分析，認為資源餘裕與實驗氣候將影響企業投入實驗行動的意願與能力，並進而影響組織創新活動。因此，透過研究變項量表之發展及衡量方式之界定，針對組織資源餘裕、實驗氣候、實驗行動與其創新活動間之因果互動關係加以釐清。 本研究以台灣地區資訊服務業廠商作為實證研究的對象，有效分析樣本廠商共115家，並分別以變異數分析、迴歸分析及結構方程模式等統計方法對回收資料進行分析。 主要結論包括：(1)以變項間之因果關係觀之：組織資源餘裕對實驗氣候、實驗行動及創新活動具有正向影響；實驗氣候對實驗行動及創新活動有正向影響；而組織實驗行動進行越多，將越有助於組織創新活動的推展；(2)路經分析結果顯示，組織實驗行動扮演著關鍵性中介角色，資源餘裕/實驗氣候對組織創新活動之正向影響，乃透過實驗行動之中介而達成；(3)「組織實驗氣候」構念主要乃由「意會學習」與「失敗免疫」兩次構面組合而成；(4) 大型企業在資源餘裕、實驗行動與創新活動等三研究變項之表現顯著優於中小企業。

La thèse étudie l'impact de l'excès de confiance des banquiers sur le jugement, l'évaluation et la décision d'investissement (de crédit). Dans le but d'approfondir les recherches opposant experts et novices, nous avons répliqué notre étude sur des étudiants. Aux côtés des mesures et des analyses de l'excès de confiance, nous avons étudié l'attitude face au risque.Une étude qualitative a d'abord été menée, par entretiens semi-directifs avec des chargés d'affaires professionnels et directeurs d'agence. Nous avons observé des marques de surconfiance grâce à l'analyse lexicale quantitative et qualitative mais aucun lien de type cause à effet avec la décision n'a pu être établi.Ce travail a été complété par une expérimentation mesurant les différentes formes des concepts comportementaux et testant leurs impacts lors de jugement, évaluation et investissement dans des entreprises. Les résultats montrent un excès de confiance et une aversion au risque généralisés, sans différences significatives à ce stade entre les deux populations, mais de fortes disparités dans le processus d'étude des investissements et dans la prise de décision. Les étudiants ont tendance à former une impression immédiate sur les entreprises puis ils réviseront ce jugement lors de l'investissement. Les banquiers sont influencés dans leur choix d'investissement par les conclusions issues de la phase d'évaluation et leur niveau d'excès de confiance. / This work analyzes bankers' overconfidence in the granting process. Empirical and experimental work provides evidences that experts' judgment and students' judgment could differ. We have replicated our study on students and measure overconfidence and attitudes toward risk.In a first qualitative study, we analyze the bankers' overconfidence thanks to the interviews we made. We highlight their overconfidence; however we could not find any link such as cause/effect with their decisions.We extend our work with an experimentation with bankers and students. After measuring different forms of overconfidence and attitudes toward risk, we have tested the impact of overconfidence on a assets' study. Each participant had to judge, evaluate and decide to invest in different assets. The first results show that no differences can be made between bankers and students on the overconfidence and attitudes toward risk. Nevertheless, in the assets' study, students tend to form a global preference and revise their judgment during their investment (intervention of the risk aversion). On the opposite, bankers are influenced by the overconfidence bias and the evaluation stage when they form their investment choices.

Across species, the face and more specifically the mouth, serves as an essential facet of everyday life. Amongst humans the mouth serves as a tool for the ingestion of food, a marker for facial recognition and a medium for communication. In order for the mouth to properly form, a series of precise growth and fusion events are needed. In order to insure that these events are orchestrated properly is a wide array of signals, transcription factors and epigenetic regulators. Due to the needed precision of these events, congenital birth defects of the face such as cleft lip and cleft palate are some of the most common worldwide. In order to support existing and identify new developmental processes involved in mouth formation, we have utilized the effective model, Danio to study the molecules and events implicated in orofacial development. This was accomplished by developing a novel confocal imaging technique that allows for visualization of the forward facing zebrafish. Using this imaging technique we were able to establish when the embryonic mouth first forms in zebrafish. Additionally, we recapitulated cleft-palate phenotypes shown in previous literature with the imaging method. Utilizing this technique, we then sought to further establish the role of Ca2+ signaling in proper orofacial morphogenesis and determine if the serine/threonine protein kinase, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type-II (CaMK-II), has a role in proper orofacial developmental.

In this qualitative case study, self-directed learning theory was used as the lens to explore experiences of nine women entrepreneurs during the first four years of business ownership as they sought to acquire skills necessary to run their businesses. Data were collected over six months through in-person 90-minute interviews and follow-up questions posed by telephone and email. Qualitative data software was used for coding and thematic analysis, resulting in five broad conclusions related to learning, with additional unanticipated findings. Study participants engaged in a variety of self-directed learning activities, mostly through trial and error experimentation, and possessed varying motivations for learning. Educational level and reliance on past industry experience limited openness to new experiences and commitment to learning for some, particularly those with high school degrees or limited college experience. The majority of learning was pursued “just-in-time” as the need mandated when a challenge presented itself rather than in a pre-planned manner. Learning was heavily reliant on other people: most sought the advice of paid professionals, former co-workers, or friends and family. The use of a mentor for learning was identified by one participant, while three employed business coaches for professional guidance. Much of their learning was highly instrumental in nature, focused on here-and-now problem solving related to managing employees, handling legal issues in establishing the business, and learning to market themselves. While extremely self-confident in their abilities, most of the women struggled with issues of family and work-life balance, and several described guilt over neglecting one aspect of their lives for the other. Study conclusions emphasize the importance of knowing how to learn in the entrepreneurial context and suggest ways entrepreneurs can access knowledge and new experiences for learning, with implications for entrepreneurship programs, government agencies, and educators.

Cette étude montre comment une production polygraphique du début du XVIIe siècle (celle de Guillaume Colletet, 1616-1658), dont la forme résulte de contraintes extérieures à des motivations proprement littéraires (facteurs socio-économiques, effritement du savoir humaniste au profit d’une culture mondaine ascendante), transcende l’éclatement qui lui est imposé en instrumentalisant la polygraphie comme un levier d’expérimentation littéraire. Dans ce creuset polygraphique, les différents textes ainsi que les grands pôles de la production (poésie, traduction, théorie), qui auraient dû rester hétérogènes, sont consciencieusement mis en relation dans un dialogue fécond. De sorte que, dans un mouvement réflexif et autocritique permanent, pratique et théorie, en interaction perpétuelle, s’entremêlent, en même temps que l’œuvre n’en finit plus de se réécrire. Ce faisant, s’élabore un va et vient dialectique, ciment des différentes productions, les constituant de facto en Œuvre. Mais bien plus, étant elle-même mouvement de reprise permanent, elle incite à replacer, au-delà d’elle, toutes les œuvres dans le temps progressif de leur fabrication et plus généralement dans l’histoire, ouvrant la porte à l’écriture d’une Histoire littéraire critique éminemment moderne. Un tel exemple incite à terme à ouvrir une réflexion de l’ordre de la philosophie de l’art : quelles sont les conséquences sur la conception du Beau d’une œuvre qui ne se pense plus comme un monument, mais comme un mouvement ? / With this study, I’ve tried to show how a polygraphic production from the early seventeenth century (the work of Guillaume Colletet, 1616-1658), shaped by non literary motives (such as social and economic factors, and the crumbling of a humanist knowledge benefitting the rising of society life), can transcend the fragmentation imposed, and this by using polygraphy as a lever for literary experimentation. In this polygraphic melting-pot, the various texts, as well as the main fields of production (poetry, translation, theory), which should have remained heterogeneous, are conscientiously related in a fertile dialogue. As a consequence, theory and practice mingle in constant interaction, in a permanent reflexive and self-criticising movement. Meanwhile, the work never stops re-writing itself. By doing so, a dialectic movement to and fro is created, holding together the various productions, and de facto making them a Work of art. Even more, as it is a movement of permanent recreation, this work prompts us to put back, not only this particular work, but also all the works of art, in their context, i.e in the gradual time of their elaboration, and more generally speaking in history. This paves the way for the elaboration of a critical literary history which is eminently modern. Enventually, such an example leads us to start a reflection in the field of the philosophy of art : what are the consequences on the idea of the Beautiful of a work which is no longer to be thought about as a monument, but as a movement?

Diploma thesis is devoted to the issue of games in pedagogy, its philosophical basis and its role in language acquisition. It is divided into three parts. In the theoretical part, there is defined a game from the philosophical point of view and its understanding by various authors. The second part deals with the specifics of didactic and language game in general. The practical part brings the specific case of teaching a child who is a foreigner. It also expresses the contribution of such games in pedagogy and teaching the Czech language. Keywords: Language game, didactic game, Czech as a foreign language, child - foreigner, specific teaching methods.
