La figure du stratège joue un rôle fondamental dans l’administration de l’Égypte à l’époque romaine. Parmi les papyrus grecs provenant de l’Égypte, une trentaine de textes d’annonces publiques, émises par ce fonctionnaire, ont été conservés. Leur contenu concerne de multiples aspects de l’administration du nome ; une quinzaine de ces annonces environ concernent la nomination à la fonction de liturge, et forment un groupe homogène. La caractéristique de ces annonces contenant des nominations aux liturgies, c’est qu’elles sont exposées au public : de cette manière, toute la communauté et, notamment, les personnes concernées peuvent connaître les noms des personnes chargées d’exécuter une liturgie donnée. Pour ce type d’avis, le langage bureaucratique va certainement utiliser le terme de προγράμματα. Le système d’attribution de ces fonctions est amplement utilisé au cours des IIe et IIIe siècles apr. J.-C. par les Romains, qui héritent une coutume déjà présente en Égypte sous la dynastie ptolémaïque, mais dont ils développent cependant les potentialités. Les liturgies sont formées par des prestations et des services dont doivent s’acquitter les sujets égyptiens de l’empire qui vivent dans les cités et les villages. Ces services varient amplement quant au cadre – de la culture et de l’entretien des canaux, à l’adjudication des impôts, et aux charges administratives locales –, mais aussi en ce qui concerne leur durée et leur engagement économique exigé. Notre étude prévoit la réédition des textes d’après les originaux ou des photos numérisées haute définition : une partie du travail, en effet, sera consacrée à la réalisation de tableaux contenant les images de chaque προγράμμα. / The strategus plays a key role in the Roman administration of Egypt. About 30 texts are preserved among Greek papyri from Egypt, which are public notices published by that officer. The subjects of these documents are various and related to different aspects of the regional administration (nomos); approximately fifteen of them concern the appointment to liturgies and they form an homogenous group. The proclamations containing the liturgical appointments are always posted in public in order to let the community, and specifically the concerned people, know the names of those who will be in charge of the compulsory public services. This kind of proclamations are known as προγράμματα in bureaucratic language. The liturgical system assigning compulsory services is widely used during the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD by Romans, who inherit this custom, which was already prevailing during the Ptolemaic dynasty, and developed its full potential. The liturgies consist in services performed by the Egyptian subjects of the empire who lived in towns and villages. Such services cover a wealth of fields of work, from cultivating the land and maintaining the irrigation system to tax-farming and local administration tasks, and the term and the economic burden required could be different for each of them. My work involves the editing of the texts based on the original copies or using high resolution images: an important part of the work will be actually devoted to setting up plates containing the images of each πρóγραμμα.

De nombreux efforts ont été faits ces dernières années pour faciliter la gestion et la représentation des entités culturelles. Toutefois, il existe encore un grand nombre de systèmes souvent isolés et encore utilisés dans les institutions culturelles reposant sur des modèles non sémantiques qui rendent difficile la validation et l’enrichissement des données. Cette thèse a pour but de proposer de nouvelles solutions pour améliorer la représentation et l’enrichissement sémantique de données culturelles en utilisant les principes du Web Sémantique. Pour ce faire, la recherche est focalisée d’une part sur l’adoption de modèles plus sémantiques comme selon les principes de FRBR qui permet de représenter des familles bibliographiques complexes en utilisant un modèle entités associations avec différents niveaux d’abstraction. Toutefois, la qualité d’une telle transformation est cruciale et c’est pourquoi des améliorations doivent être faites au niveau de la configuration et de l’évaluation d’un tel processus. En parallèle, la thèse cherche à profiter de ces nouveaux modèles sémantiques pour faciliter l’interconnexion des données avec des sources externes comme celles du Linked Open Data ou des sources moins structurées (Sites Web, Flux). Cela doit permettre de générer des bases de connaissances thématiques plus en accord avec les besoins des utilisateurs. Cependant, l’agrégation d’informations depuis des sources hétérogènes implique des étapes d’alignement à la fois au niveau du schéma et au niveau des entités / Many efforts have been done these last two decades to facilitate the management and representation of cultural heritage data. However, many systems used in cultural institutions are still based on flat models and are generally isolated which prevents any reuse or validation of information. This Ph.D. aims at proposing new solutions for enhancing the representation and enrichment of cultural entities using the Semantic Web technologies. This work consists in two major steps to reach this objective. On the one hand, the research is focused on the metadata migration process to transform the schema of existing knowledge catalogs to new semantic models. This study is based on a real-world case study using the concepts from the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) which allows to generate graph-based knowledge bases. Yet, the quality of such a migration is the cornerstone for a successful adoption. Thus, several challenges related to the tuning and the evaluation of such a process must be faced. On the other hand, the research aims at taking advantage of these semantic models to facilitate the linkage of information with external and structured sources (e.g., Linked Open Data) and extracting additional information from other sources (e.g., microblogging) to build a new generation of thematic knowledge bases according to the user needs. However, in this case, the aggregation of information from heterogeneous sources requires additional steps to match and merge both correspondences at schema and instance level

Since 2018, privacy notices are required by websites to inform users of their use of cookies where the users can choose whether or not they want to accept the cookies. While the use of privacy notices theoretically provides the ability for users to be in charge of their own privacy online, there are issues regarding privacy notices that lead to that they hardly ever work in practice. The reasons for this are many but center around that privacy notices are designed to manipulate users to accept cookies rather than to inform and encourage users to make deliberate choices. In light of this, the purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not the two principles from choice architecture, defaults and mappings, are an appropriate approach to improve users' understanding and affect their decision-making process regarding privacy notices. The study used a combination of qualitative methods and contained a screening survey, prototype testing and interviews. The screening survey was used to select appropriate participants who later conducted the prototype testing and interviews. Four prototypes displaying four different privacy notices were designed and presented to the participants. Each participant was randomly assigned one of the prototypes and later asked questions regarding their interaction with and understanding of the privacy notice. The data collected was analyzed using a thematic analysis. The results derived from the analysis revealed that a majority of the participants did not read the privacy notice. Further, the factors that influenced participants’ interactions with the privacy notice were mainly habitual rather than affected by the specific prototype they were presented with. Based on the results, it can be concluded that defaults may impact the user’s decision due to visual cues. However, neither defaults nor mappings worked as an encouragement for the user to make a well-informed and deliberate choice.

Orientador: César Donizetti Pereira Leite / Banca: João Pedro Pezzato / Banca: Wenceslao Machado de Oliveira Junior / Resumo: O presente estudo decorre do interesse em aprofundar conhecimentos referentes à utilização da linguagem imagética nos noticiários da internet, que se constitui, na atualidade, no meio de comunicação mais rápido e dinâmico. Apresenta uma reflexão acerca de notícias virtuais que abordam o tema natureza nos sites da WWF-Brasil e da Greenpeace-Brasil. A pesquisa objetivou detectar se as notícias veiculadas são coerentes com o enunciado das respectivas missões dos sites. Selecionaram-se duas notícias vinculadas ao tema em cada site; estas foram analisadas quanto à relação de coerência ou não com os objetivos estabelecidos pelas próprias organizações. O estudo, desenvolvido em quatro capítulos, utiliza a linguagem metafórica para estabelecer uma relação entre o bordado do ponto cruz e a história; traça um percurso por diferentes épocas, temas e fotógrafos; reflete sobre o uso da linguagem imagética presente nos textos de notícias virtuais; e a liberdade de criar novas imagens, resgatar memórias e despertar sentidos, com base na leitura das fotografias inseridas nas reportagens analisadas. A observação, usada como método para interpretar e descrever, revela que as notícias publicadas pelas duas ONGs se apropriam da linguagem escrita e da linguagem fotográfica, empregando suas potencialidades para despertar sentidos e apresentar e/ou representar realidades como recursos de persuasão dirigidos aos visitantes dos sites. / Abstract: The present study it elapses of the interest in depth knowledge's referring to the imagetic language use in the internet reporters, that one consists, in the present time, in the media more dynamic and fast. It presents a reflection concerning virtual notices that approach the subject nature in the sites of WWF-Brazil and Greenpeace- Brazil. The research objectified to detect if the propagated notice are coherent with the statement of the respective sites missions. Two entailed notice to the subject in each site had been selected; these had been analyzed how much to the relation of coherence or not with the objectives established for the proper organizations. The study, developed in four chapters, it uses the metaphoric language to establish a relation of the point cross' embroidery and the history; it traces a passage for different times, subjects and photographers; it reflects on the use of the imagetic language to present in the virtual notice texts and, the freedom to create new images, to rescue memories and the to awake senses decurrent of the photographs' reading inserted in the articles analyzed. The observation, used as method to interpret and to describe, discloses that the notice published for the two ONGs if appropriate of the written language and the photographic language, using its potentialities to awake senses and to present and/or to represent realities as persuasion resources directed of the sites' visitors. / Mestre

Syftet var att genom en kvalitativ studie undersöka hur kommunikationen mellan chefer och medarbetare i en organisationsförändring upplevs gällande omorganisering, varsel och uppsägningar. Fem personer deltog som antingen fått besked om att få stanna kvar i organisationen eller som har blivit uppsagda. Enligt resultatet kunde respondenternas upplevelser kategoriseras i fem teman: Tydlig kommunikation, Samma information till alla medarbetare, Yttre påverkansfaktorer, Empatisk förmåga vid kommunikation och Stöd. Dessa teman indikerar att ett stort fokus bör ligga på hur kommunikationen sker mellan chef och medarbetare i en omorganisering och dess delsteg då detta var av betydelse för medarbetarnas upplevelser. Resultatet visade vidare att kommunikationen bör vara tydlig och rak med en personlig prägel under hela processen, samt att samma information tidigt bör gå ut samtidigt till alla medarbetare för att undvika ryktesspridning och oro. Vidare bör ledning och chefer kunna visa empati och finnas som ett stöd för sina medarbetare under omorganiseringen. / The aim was to investigate how communication between managers and employees during an organizational change is experienced. Five subjects participated, notified of staying in the organization or having been laid off. Results indicated five themes: Clear communication, Same information to all employees, External influences, Empathic communication and Support. Given this, results indicate that a major focus should be on communication between manager and employees during a reorganization. A relation between clear communication was of importance to the employees' mood, it was also shown that same type of information should be released at the same time to all employees in order to avoid rumor spread and concern. Finally, results suggest that management and managers should show empathy and be supportive during a reorganization.
