Para estimação dos parâmetros serão usadas as cotações diárias do Ibovespa, no período de janeiro de 2009 a dezembro de 2014, e para a aferição da acurácia empírica dos modelos serão realizados testes fora da amostra, comparando os VaR obtidos para o período de janeiro a dezembro de 2014. Foram introduzidas variáveis explicativas na tentativa de aprimorar os modelos e optou-se pelo correspondente americano do Ibovespa, o índice Dow Jones, por ter apresentado propriedades como: alta correlação, causalidade no sentido de Granger, e razão de log-verossimilhança significativa. Uma das inovações do modelo de escala local é não utilizar diretamente a variância, mas sim a sua recíproca, chamada de 'precisão' da série, que segue uma espécie de passeio aleatório multiplicativo. O LSM captou todos os fatos estilizados das séries financeiras, e os resultados foram favoráveis a sua utilização, logo, o modelo torna-se uma alternativa de especificação eficiente e parcimoniosa para estimar e prever volatilidade, na medida em que possui apenas um parâmetro a ser estimado, o que representa uma mudança de paradigma em relação aos modelos de heterocedasticidade condicional. / The objective of this study is to propose the implementation of a statistical model to calculate the volatility not widespread in Brazilian literature, LSM, with its advantages and disadvantages compared to the models commonly used for risk measurement. To estimate the parameters will be used daily prices of Ibovespa in the period from January 2009 to December 2014, and to measure the empirical accuracy of the models out of sample tests will be performed, comparing the VaR obtained for the period from January to December 2014. Explanatory variables were introduced in an attempt to improve the models, and we chose to its corresponding American Ibovespa, the Dow Jones index, for presenting characteristics such as high correlation, causality in the Granger sense, and reason for significant log-likelihood. One of the local scale model innovation is not directly use the variance, but its reciprocal, called 'precision' series, which follows a kind of multiplicative random walk. LSM captured all financial series of stylized facts, and the results were favorable to use, so the model becomes an efficient and economical alternative specification for estimating and predicting volatility, to the extent that only one parameter has to be estimated, which represents a paradigm shift in the models of conditional heteroscedasticity.

Ce travail de thèse est consacré à la caractérisation des propriétés mécaniques de l’interphase pâte de ciment-granulat au cours de l’hydratation et au cours de la dégradation chimique par lixiviation. La microstructure de l'interphase entre la pâte de ciment et les granulats est caractérisée par une porosité supérieure à celle de la pâte de ciment. Cette zone constitue un point de fragilité dans le béton et ses propriétés affectent fortement le comportement mécanique du béton à l’échelle macroscopique et à l’échelle de la structure. Dans ce travail, la résistance de l’interphase pâte de ciment-granulat est analysée expérimentalement à l'échelle locale. Des essais expérimentaux sont réalisés sur des composites constitués de granulats liés par une pâte de ciment portland préparée avec un rapport Eau/Ciment de 0,5. Des dispositifs expérimentaux dédiés ont été conçus et réalisés de manière à être adaptés à la taille et à la forme des échantillons. La forme des échantillons utilisés et les outils expérimentaux développés permettent de solliciter directement l’interphase. A différents stades de l'hydratation, des échantillons de pâte de ciment seule et des composites sont soumis à des essais de compression, de traction et de cisaillement direct. L’étude des propriétés mécaniques de l’interphase pâte de ciment-granulat révèle une faiblesse de cette zone en termes de propriétés mécaniques..Le protocole expérimental mis au point a permis d’étudier les effets du mécanisme de lixiviation du calcium au niveau de l’interphase sur les propriétés mécaniques du béton à l’échelle locale. Compte tenu du temps caractéristique long du phénomène de lixiviation, la mise en situation expérimentale au laboratoire est accélérée en remplaçant l’eau par une solution de nitrate d'ammonium. Afin de quantifier le développement et la cinétique de dégradation au niveau de la liaison cimentée, les fronts de lixiviation du béton sont caractérisés à différents degrés de dégradation en utilisant la phénolphtaléine comme traceur. Des essais mécaniques locaux (compression, traction et cisaillement) sont réalisés sur les composites et sur la pâte de ciment à différents temps de dégradation. L’étude de l’effet de la lixiviation à l’échelle locale montre le rôle important de l’interphase pâte de ciment-granulat lors du processus de dégradation chimique sur les propriétés mécaniques du composite. / In this work, we presents an experimental study to characterize the mechanical properties at the local scale of the cement paste-aggregate interface during hydration and during chemical degradation by leaching.It is generally accepted that the microstructure of the interface between the aggregates and the cement paste is characterized by a higher porosity than that of cement paste. This makes this zone a weak point in the concrete. The particular properties of this zone strongly influence the mechanical behavior of concrete. In this work, the mechanical properties of the cement paste-aggregate composite, are experimentally studied. The experimental tests are performed on composites at classical aggregate scale (one centimeter of section). These composite are composed by and Portland cement paste and aggregate. The cement paste is prepared with a water/cement ratio of 0.5. The shape of the prepared composites makes them convenient for direct tensile and shear tests. At different stages of hydration, we performed direct tensile and shear tests on the composites by means of specific devices. The same tests were carried out on the cement paste in order to compare with composites results. The shape of the prepared composites makes them convenient to characterize the cement paste-aggregate interface. At different stages of hydration, the composites are subjected to compression tests, direct tensile tests or shear tests. The study of the mechanical properties of the cement-aggregates interface revealed that the cement paste-aggregate interface is the weakest zone in the composite.An experimental protocol was developed to study the effects of calcium leaching mechanism at the cement paste-aggregate interface on the mechanical properties of the concrete. As the process of leaching with the deionised water occurs very slowly, the experimental study in the laboratory is accelerated by replacing the water by ammonium nitrate solution. To quantify the development and kinetics of degradation at the cemented bond, the concrete leaching fronts are characterized at different levels of degradation by using phenolphthalein. Local mechanical tests (compression, tensile and shear) are performed on composite and cement paste at different stages of degradation. The experimental results show that there is a leaching effect on the alteration of the mechanical properties at the cement paste-aggregate interface.

La partie centrale de la chaîne himalayenne présente d’importantes hétérogénéités, en particulier en termes de topographie et de climatologie. La caractérisation des processus hydro-climatiques dans cette région est limitée par le manque de descriptif des milieux. La variabilité locale est alors difficilement représentée par les modélisations mises en œuvre à une échelle régionale.L’approche proposée dans ce travail est de caractériser les systèmes hydro-climatiques à l’échelle locale pour réduire les incertitudes liées à l’hétérogénéité du milieu. L’intégration de données localement précises est testée pour la modélisation de bassins versants peu instrumentés et fortement hétérogènes.Deux sous-bassins du bassin de la Dudh Koshi (Népal) sont utilisés comme échantillons représentatifs des milieux de haute et moyenne montagne, hors contribution glaciaire. Le schéma de surface ISBA est appliqué à la simulation des réponses hydrologiques des types de surface décrits à partir d’observations de terrain. Des mesures de propriétés physiques des sols sont intégrées pour préciser la paramétrisation des surfaces dans le modèle. Les données climatiques nécessaires sont interpolées à partir des observations in situ disponibles. Une approche non déterministe est appliquée pour quantifier les incertitudes liées à l’influence de la topographie sur les précipitations, ainsi que leur propagation aux variables simulées. Enfin, les incertitudes liées à la structure des modèles sont évaluées à l’échelle locale à travers la comparaison des paramétrisations et des résultats de simulation obtenus d'une part avec le schéma de surface ISBA, couplé à un module de routage à réservoir et d'autre part avec le modèle hydrologique J2000. / The central part of the Hindukush-Himalaya region presents tremendous heterogeneity, in particular in terms of topography and climatology. The representation of hydro-climatic processes for Himalayan catchments is limited due to a lack of knowledge regarding their hydrological behavior. Local variability is thus difficult to characterize based on modeling studies done at a regional scale. The proposed approach is to characterize hydro-climatic systems at the local scale to reduce uncertainties associated with environmental heterogeneity.The integration of locally reliable data is tested to model sparsely instrumented, highly heterogeneous catchments. Two sub-catchments of the Dudh Koshi River basin (Nepal) are used as representative samples of high and mid-mountain environments, with no glacier contribution. The ISBA surface scheme is applied to simulate hydrological responses of the surfaces that are described based on in-situ observations. Measurements of physical properties of soils are integrated to precise surface parametrization in the model. Necessary climatic data is interpolated based on available in-situ measurements. A non deterministic approach is applied to quantify uncertainties associated with the effect of topography on precipitation and their propagation through the modeling chain. Finally, uncertainties associated with model structure are estimated at the local scale by comparing simulation methods and results obtained on the one hand with the ISBA model, coupled with a reservoir routing module, and on the other hand, with the J2000 hydrological model.

L'augmentation des concentrations de méthane dans l'atmosphère, directement imputable aux activités anthropiques, induit une accentuation de l'effet de serre et une dégradation de la qualité de l'air. Il existe encore à l'heure actuelle de grandes incertitudes concernant les estimations des émissions des dfférentes sources de méthane à l'échellelocale. Une meilleure caractérisation de ces sources permettrait de mettre en place des politiques d'adaptation et d'att énuation efficaces afin de réduire ces émissions. Nous avons développé une nouvelle méthode de quantificationdes émissions de méthane à l'échelle locale basée sur la combinaison de mesures atmosphériques mobiles et d'un modèle gaussien dans le cadre d'une inversion statistique. Les concentrations atmosphériques du méthane sont mesuréesainsi que celles d'un gaz traceur émis à un flux connu. Ces concentrations en gaz traceur sont utilisées pour sélectionnerla classe de stabilité représentant le mieux les conditions atmosphériques dans le modèle gaussien ainsi qu'à paramétrerl'erreur associée aux mesures et au modèle dans l'inversion statistique. Dans un premier temps, cette nouvelle méthoded'estimation des émissions de méthane a été testée grâce à des émissions contrôlées de traceur et de méthane dontles sources ont été positionnées suivant différentes configurations. J'ai ensuite appliqué cette méthode à deux sites réels connus pour leurs émissions de méthane, une exploitation agricole et une installation de distribution de gaz, afin de tester son applicabilité et sa robustesse dans des conditions plus complexes de répartition des sources de méthane. Cette méthode a permis d'obtenir des estimations des émissions totales des sites robustes prenant en compte la localisation du traceur par rapport aux sources de méthane. L'estimation séparéedes émissions des différentes sources d'un site s'est révélée fortement dépendante des conditions météorologiques durant les mesures. Je me suis ensuite focalisé sur les émissions de méthane associées au secteur des déchets en réalisant un certain nombre de campagnes de mesures au sein d'installations de stockagedes déchets non dangereux et de stations d'épuration. Les résultats obtenus pour ces différents sites montrent la grandevariabilité des émissions de méthane dans le secteur des déchets. / The increase of atmospheric methane concentrations since the beginning of the industrial era is directly linked to anthropogenic activities. This increase is partly responsible for the enhancement of the greenhouse effect leading to a rise of Earth's surface temperatures and a degradation of air quality. There are still considerable uncertainties regarding methane emissions estimates from many sources at local scale. A better characterization of these sources would help the implementation of effective adaptation and mitigation policies to reduce these emissions.To do so, we have developed a new method to quantify methane emissions from local sites based on the combination of mobile atmospheric measurements, a Gaussian model and a statistical inversion. These atmospheric measurements are carried out within the framework of the tracer method, which consists in emitting a gas co-located with the methane source at a known flow. An estimate of methane emissions can be given by measuring the tracer and methane concentrations through the emission plume coming from the site. This method presents some limitations especially when several sources and/or extended sources can be found on the studied site. In these conditions, the colocation of the tracer and methane sources is difficult. The Gaussian model enables to take into account this bad collocation. It also gives a separate estimate of each source of a site when the classical tracer release method only gives an estimate of its total emissions. The statistical inversion enables to take into account the uncertainties associated with the model and the measurements.The method is based on the use of the measured tracer gas concentrations to choose the stability class of the Gaussian model that best represents the atmospheric conditions during the measurements. These tracer data are also used to parameterize the error associated with the measurements and the model in the statistical inversion. We first tested this new method with controlled emissions of tracer and methane. The tracer and methane sources were positioned in different configurations in order to better understand the contributions of this method compared to the traditional tracer method. These tests have demonstrated that the statistical inversion parameterized by the tracer gas data gives better estimates of methane emissions when the tracer and methane sources are not perfectly collocated or when there are several sources of methane.In a second time, I applied this method to two sites known for their methane emissions, namely a farm and a gas distribution facility. These measurements enabled us to test the applicability and robustness of the method under more complex methane source distribution conditions and gave us better estimates of the total methane emissions of these sites that take into account the location of the tracer regarding methane sources. Separate estimates of every source within the site are highly dependent on the meteorological conditions during the measurements. The analysis of the correlations on the posterior uncertainties between the different sources gives a diagnostic of the separability of the sources.Finally I focused on methane emissions associated with the waste sector. To do so, I carried out several measurement campaigns in landfills and wastewater treatment plants and I also used data collected on this type of sites during other projects. I selected the most suitable method to estimate methane emissions of each site and the obtained estimates for each one of these sites show the variability of methane emissions in the waste sector.

Although a common plant response to environmental gradients, leaf trait plasticity is often uncharted in agroforestry systems. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of a i) local-scale gradient (light, nutrients) induced by shade tree diversity and ii) large-scale gradient (climato-edaphic) induced by altitude on coffee plant response on multiple agroforestry research farms in Costa Rica. Results show large variability of coffee traits: leaf photosynthetic rates, specific leaf area (SLA) and number of fruiting nodes deviate along both gradients. Mean SLA increased with increasing shade tree diversity. However, with increasing altitude, full sun coffee photosynthesized at higher rates than shaded coffee. Concurrently, other coffee leaf physiological and morphological traits differentiated between full sun and shaded coffee with increasing altitude. Results suggest soil moisture and light availability dominate environmental correlates to intraspecific coffee trait plasticity, providing insight to sources of coffee performance variability in monoculture and agroforestry systems.

The Milazzo peninsula, North-Eastern Sicily, Italy, is the implantation site of potentially polluting anthropogenic activities. Among them, a refinery and a thermoelectric plant. An epidemiological study has shown a decrease of human health quality in the area, but there was no further research as to the reasons of this observation. The aim of this work is to better understand how the Milazzo peninsula's anthropogenic emissions impact the local human health and ecosystems. The Life Cycle Assessment calculating approach was chosen in order to study the consequences of the emissions resulting from the following local anthropogenic activities: the thermoelectric plant, the refinery, the road traffic, the illegal combustion of domestic waste. The Impact 2002+ and the ReCiPe 2008 global-scale models were chosen, as well as a site-specific approach. In order to conduct this site-specific calculation, Milazzo soils and seawater samples were gathered and the specific local parameters were deduced from their analyses. The global-scale results pointed out the waste combustion emissions and the thermoelectric plant as the main causes of the human health quality decrease, while the thermoelectric plant was pointed out as the anthropogenic activity causing the most environmental damages. The site-specific study applied to the soil and seawater ecotoxicity confirmed the important role of the thermoelectric plant's emissions in the damages upon the environment, especially the seawater. Moreover, the site-specific study also corrected the soil ecotoxic impact scores, showing the importance of both thermoelectric plant and illegal waste combustion contributions to the damaging of the environment. As a conclusion, LCA study as a whole enlightens and explains the previous observations of human health and ecosystem damages in the site of study while the site-specific study proved relevant in the peculiar area of Milazzo.

Nourrir une population mondiale croissante dans un contexte de changements globaux pose de nouveaux défis à l’agriculture en termes d’efficience de production et d’impacts environnementaux. Rendre les systèmes agro-alimentaires plus soutenables nécessite de mieux recycler la biomasse et les nutriments, c’est-à-dire de tendre vers des flux de fertilisants, de produits végétaux, d’aliments du bétail, de coproduits et de déchets plus circulaires. À ce titre, il est nécessaire de développer de nouveaux outils pour mieux explorer et évaluer les échanges de matières entre les fermes et leurs partenaires économiques amont et aval dans les territoires. Dans le travail présent, l’état de l’art concernant les méthodes d’analyse, de modélisation et d’évaluation environnementale des flux de biomasse et d’éléments minéraux à différentes échelles est réalisé. Le modèle multi-agents FAN (« Flows in Agricultural Network») qui simule les flux des matières entre les fermes et leurs partenaires économiques dans les territoires agricoles a été développé. Les processus de FAN sont expliqués en détail et une analyse de sensibilité des variables clefs est présentée. Par ailleurs, le modèle FAN a été appliqué à un cas d’études en France pour évaluer la performance des scénarios contrastés visant à améliorer l’efficience d’utilisation des éléments minéraux, développer le recyclage de la matière, favoriser la production du biogaz ou reconcevoir les systèmes de production. Les sorties de simulations des scénarios sont analysées en termes de production alimentaire et énergétique, de flux de matières et de logistique, de cycle des nutriments et d’émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Ce travail montre l’utilité des outils de prospective et modèles multi-agents pour améliorer la durabilité des systèmes agricoles et des chaines alimentaires, pour créer et évaluer des solutions collectives tendant vers l’économie circulaire et pour prendre en charge les interactions entre acteurs économiques au sein des chaines et filières alimentaires complexes. / Feeding the growing global population in a context of global change raises new challenges for agriculture regarding its production efficiency and impacts on natural resources. Solutions for towards farming sustainability require to improve nutrient and biomass recycling in agro-food systems, i.e. to move from linear to more circular flows of fertilizers, crop products, feedstuff, by-products and organic wastes. Innovative tools exploring material exchanges between farms and their upstream and downstream partners in agro-food systems at the local scale are needed. In the present work, the state of the art about analysis methods, models and environmental tools addressing nutrient and biomass flows at different scales is reviewed. The FAN (“Flows in Agricultural Network”) model, an agent-based model that simulates a range of material flows among farms and their partners within agricultural districts is developed. FAN processes are explained in details and a sensitivity analysis to some key variables is performed. In addition, the FAN model is applied to a French case-study to assess the performances of contrasted scenarios aiming to enhance nutrient use efficiency, recycling strategies, biogas production and system redesign. The outcomes from the scenario simulation are analyzed are assessed in terms of food provisioning, nutrient cycling and greenhouse gas emissions. This work shows the usefulness of prospective, agent-based tools for greater farming and food-chain sustainability, to design and evaluate collective solutions for circular economy and to account for interactions among economic actors within complex agro-food systems.

La péninsule de Milazzo, au Nord-Est de la Sicile, en Italie, est le site d'implantation d'activités anthropiques potentiellement polluantes. Parmi elles, une raffinerie et une centrale thermoélectrique. Une étude épidémiologique a montré une diminution de la qualité de la santé humaine dans la zone, mais aucune recherche n'a approfondi les raisons de cette observation. Le but de ce travail est de mieux comprendre comment les émissions des activités anthropiques de la péninsule de Milazzo impactent la santé humaine à l'échelle locale ainsi que les écosystèmes. L'approche par l'Analyse du Cycle de Vie a été choisie afin d'étudier les conséquences des émissions provenant des activités anthropiques suivantes: la centrale thermoélectrique, la raffinerie, la circulation automobile, la combustion sauvage de déchets domestiques. Les modèles à l'échelle globale Impact2002+ et ReCiPe2008 furent choisis, ainsi qu'une approche site-spécifique. Afin de réaliser ces calculs à l'échelle site-spécifique, des échantillons de sols et d'eau marine provenant de Milazzo ont été rassemblés et les paramètres locaux spécifiques ont été déduits de leurs analyses. Les résultats à l'échelle globale on montré que la combustion des déchets ménagers et que la centrale thermoélectrique sont les activités anthropiques causant le plus de dommages environnementaux. L'étude site-spécifique appliquée à l'écotoxicité du sol et de l'eau de mer a confirmé l'importance du rôle des émissions de la centrale thermoélectrique dans les dommages sur l'environnement, en particulier sur l'eau de mer. De plus, l'étude site-spécifique a permis de corriger les scores d'impact du sol, montrant l'importance à la fois de la centrale thermoélectrique et de la combustion sauvage de déchets ménagers dans les dommages sur l'environnement. En conclusion, l'étude ACV a globalement montré et expliqué les observations précédentes concernant les dommages à la santé humaine et à l'environnement sur le site d'étude alors que l'étude site-spécifique s'est montrée pertinente pour la zone particulière de Milazzo. / The Milazzo peninsula, North-Eastern Sicily, Italy, is the implantation site of potentially polluting anthropogenic activities.

Cette thèse porte sur le rapport des femmes au politique, étudié à travers le prisme de la participation locale des classes populaires. Au Venezuela, sous les gouvernements Chávez, la volonté étatique de favoriser la participation locale et de lutter contre les inégalités de genre, croise et rend visible des dynamiques et des trajectoires individuelles d’acteurs ordinaires, qui sont en majorité des femmes. La politique bolivarienne de la participation se réalise à partir de l’expérience quotidienne et des relations interpersonnelles. Les structures étatiques locales que sont les Conseils Locaux de Planification Publique et les Conseils Communaux articulent ainsi espace public et espace privé. Dans ce pays matrifocal, la pratique de cette politique territorialisée permet aux femmes des classes populaires de transformer leur autorité en une ressource politique qui est désormais reconnue et institutionnalisée. Ce processus modifie le rapport à soi, à la famille, à la communauté, mais aussi au pouvoir institué, allant jusqu’à transformer les rapports gouvernants-gouvernés. Fruit de sept années de recherche et de près de deux ans de terrain, cette thèse allie les techniques classiques de l’enquête sociologique à de nouveaux outils révélant l’importance du tournant affectif induit par l’expérience participative dans la vie des enquêtés. / This PhD dissertation is about women’s relations to politics, viewed from the perspective of the popular background’s local participation. During the Chavez’s governments in Venezuela, the State’s will to favour local participation and fight against gender’s inequalities allows ordinary actors’dynamics and individual paths to meet and in the meantime, to make them visible. These actors occur to be mostly women. The Bolivarian participation politics is performed from the daily experience and interpersonnal relationship. The local State institutions - that are the Consejos Locales de Planificación Pública and the Consejos Comunales - intertwine public and private space. In this matrifocal country, this territorialized politics allows women from popular background to convert their authority into a political ressource that has been acknowledged and institutionnalized. This process changes the relationships to oneself, to the family and the community but to the institutionnalized power as well, going as far as to transform relationships between the ruling classes and the ones who are ruled by them. Based on a seven years research and a two years fieldwork, this PhD dissertation associates sociological studies’classic techniques and new tools revealing the importance of the affective turn brought by the participative experience in the interviewees’s life.
