Ever since the pioneering work of Parzen the mean square error( MSE) and its integrated form (MISE) have been used as the error criteria in choosing the bandwidth matrix for multivariate kernel density estimation. More recently other criteria have been advocated as competitors to the MISE, such as the mean absolute error. In this study we define a weighted version of the Hellinger distance for multivariate densities and show that it has an asymptotic form, which is one-fourth the asymptotic MISE under weak smoothness conditions on the multivariate density f. In addition the proposed criteria give rise to a new data-dependent bandwidth matrix selector. The performance of the new data-dependent bandwidth matrix selector is compared with other well known bandwidth matrix selectors such as the least squared cross validation (LSCV) and the plug-in (HPI) through simulation. We derived a closed form formula for the mean Hellinger distance (MHD) in the univariate case. We also compared via simulation mean weighted Hellinger distance (MWHD) and the asymptotic MWHD, and the MISE and the asymptotic MISE for both univariate and bivariate cases for various densities and sample sizes.

Para isso, foi traçado um percurso teórico, que tem por objetivo investigar como as noções de autoria e encenação no cinema de ficção poderiam ser atribuídas ao filme documentário, que tem especificidades diferentes dos filmes de ficção. Com base nessa discussão, foi possível constatar que as estratégias de encenação utilizadas por Eduardo Coutinho nos filmes analisados estão diretamente relacionadas ao seu estilo de fazer documentários, o que caracterizou a encenação como uma marca de autoria do trabalho do diretor. / Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação e Cultura Contemporâneas

La mobilité existe de longue date dans la fonction publique mais demeure limitée par des obstacles relatifs à sa mise en oeuvre et à sa finalité. Depuis le début des années1990, l'amplification de la mobilité tente de dépasser certaines de ces considérations en procédant à une diffusion protéiforme des mouvements. En ce sens, la mobilité voulue se développe tant au sein de la fonction publique qu'entre celle-ci et le secteur privé. De même, la mobilité imposée connaît un net regain d'intérêt à travers les réorganisations administratives et le besoin d'une gestion plus souple de l'emploi public. Toutefois, qu'elle soit imposée ou voulue, la mobilité sert toujours les intérêts de l'administration en permettant sa modernisation. En effet, constituant une notion indéterminable, tant par des critères précis que par des effets donnés sur un agent, sa caractéristique principale est d'accompagner et parfois d'impulser le changement. Elle est ainsi un instrument perturbateur confortant l'hybridation du droit de la fonction publique et induisant le métissage de la fonction publique. / Mobility exists for a long time in the public service but remains limited due to obstacles relative to its implementation and to its purpose. Since the beginning of 1990s, the development of the mobility tries to exceed some of these considerations by proceeding to a protean distribution of the movements. By this way, the deliberate mobility develops as well as within the public service as between this one and the private sector. In the sameway, the compulsory mobility knows a real renewed interest through the administrative reorganizations and the need for a more flexible management of the public employment.However, whether it is compulsory or wanted, mobility always serves the interests of the administration by allowing its modernization. Indeed, constituting an indeterminable concept, as well by precise criteria as by effects given on an agent, its main characteristic is to accompany and sometimes to impulse the change. It is thus a disturbing instrument consolidating the hybridization of the law of the public service and leading to the interbreeding of the public service.

Trata-se, em alguns momentos, de uma negação positiva por uma existência melhor. É uma poeticidade-experiência cristalizando no mesmo texto humor e horror em voz cosmopolita, de constituição firme, político-humanista, verso em crise, invenção constante que não coloca em primeiro plano rigorosas concepções racionais de estrutura, mas aposta em plurivalência semântica, estrutura poemática de linha construtiva. O sujeito-objeto assim não quer ser sozinho, não quer simplesmente produzir sentido, mas o traço de união, o registro múltiplo de tempo e espaço, buscando o sentido seguinte e não objetivando a última palavra. O óbvio e o abismo enfrentam-se numa linguagem sem garantias, onde se encontra o dessujeitamento em relação à opressão promovida pelos discursos do poder. A transformação do que se é: eis o que esta produção literária solicita como condição para o ser verdadeiro; não a morte do sujeito, mas o seu desaparecimento diante de singularidades plurais

Le tourisme de safari dans les zones protégées du Kenya se concentre sur quelques sites touristiques : les parcs nationaux jouissant d’une forte notoriété internationale, au détriment des autres, qui sont disséminés dans le pays. A travers l’étude de la région de l’ouest du Kenya, ce travail vise à s’interroger, d’une part sur l’attractivité des aires protégées moins mise en tourisme (notamment celles de l’ouest du Kenya), et d’autre part sur leur possible ‘ouverture’ au tourisme. Après avoir connu une évolution lente due à une moindre notoriété, le tourisme forestier et celui de montagne, diffèrent de celui de la savane caractérisé par le safari des big five, peuvent-ils faire émerger de nouvelles destinations dans le pays et puis selon quelles stratégies ? A partir d’une enquête réalisée auprès des touristes, des populations locales et des responsables des aires protégées de l’ouest du pays, ainsi qu’à partir de l’étude de la documentation existante, cette thèse montre que le flux touristique à destination des parcs et des réserves nationaux du pays demeure inchangé depuis des années. Alors, est-il possible d’ouvrir au tourisme de ‘nouveaux’ milieux naturels (paysages, forêts primaires, volcans) autres que les savanes de la Rift Valley caractérisées par l’exposition de la grande faune mammalienne ? En tant qu’objectif de dynamiser le secteur touristique du pays, cette thèse fait ressortir la nécessité de faire découvrir de nouveaux produits ou destinations touristiques, de donner une nouvelle présentation et interprétation aux attractions existantes, d’étaler l’offre touristique au-delà des destinations phares et enfin, d’anticiper la demande et les préférences des touristes pendant le montage des projets communautaires. / Kenya, as many other tourism destinations, is characterized by a geographical concentration of tourists in a few selected national parks and reserves to the detriment of others across the country. This study therefore, looks into the potential presented by the less visited parks and reserves, notably those in the Western Kenya Tourism Circuit and how they can be ‘opened up’ for the tourism activities. Apart from the savanna-based tourism known for the big five, can forests and mountains emerge as new tourism destinations in Kenya? What strategies need to be put in place to exploit their potential? The methodology applied in this research was the use of questionnaires targeting the tourists, the local communities as well as park managers. Therefore, Kenya needs to: propose new products and destinations, revisit and re-interpret the existing products, extend the product to take pressure off the existing attractions and keep close contact with tourists’ tastes when coming up with community based projects.

Les travaux présentés dans ce manuscrit sont issus de la collaboration entre les partenaires du projet MAPICC3D intitulé : "One-shot Manufacturing on large scale of 3D up graded panels and stiffeners for lightweight thermoplastic textile composite structures". MAPICC3D est un projet de recherches financé par le programme Européen de recherche et d’innovation "FP7". L’objectif du programme de recherches MAPICC3D est de développer des matériaux et procédés permettant de produire des pièces composites thermoplastiques en réduisant les coûts de fabrication jusqu’à 25% par rapport à l’état de l’art et en augmentant les cadences de fabrication jusqu’à 30%. Dans le cadre du projet MAPICC3D, les travaux présentés dans ce manuscrit ont pour objectif de mieux comprendre le comportement des tissus 3D interlocks chaines lors des étapes de mise en forme et de consolidation de pièces en matériaux composites renforcés de structures tissées 3D interlock chaine. La compréhension des phénomènes rencontrés lors de ces étapes permet ensuite d’optimiser les structures au niveau local et global dans le but de répondre aux différentes problématiques de mise en forme rencontrées, permettant ainsi des améliorations de la qualité des pièces composites finales développées pour les applications AUTO-MAPICC, TRUCK-MAPICC, RAIL-MAPICC et AERO-MAPICC, et donc de leur tenue mécanique. / The work presented in this manuscript results from collaboration between the partners of project MAPICC3D entitled: "One-shot Manufacturing on large scale of 3D up graded panels and stiffeners for lightweight thermoplastic textile composite structures". MAPICC3D is a research project financed by the European research and innovation program "FP7". The objective of the project MAPICC3D is to develop materials and processes making it possible to produce thermoplastic composite parts by reducing the manufacturing costs up to 25% compared to the state of the art and by increasing the production rates up to 30%. In the framework of the project MAPICC3D, the work presented in this manuscript aim to better understand the behaviour of 3D warp interlock fabrics to forming and consolidation processes of fibre-reinforced composite material parts made of 3D warp interlock structures. The comprehension of the phenomena met at these steps then makes it possible to optimize the structures at the local and global level with an aim of answering the various problems of forming met, thus allowing improvements of the quality of the final composite parts developed for AUTO-MAPICC, TRUCK-MAPICC, RAIL-MAPICC and AERO-MAPICC applications, and thus of their mechanical behaviour.
