Esta pesquisa trata da inclusão de aspectos associados às percepções, atitudes e comportamentos ambientais nos processos de planejamento e gestão de áreas de proteção de mananciais hídricos, tendo em vista a importância da água, a atual crise em sua disponibilidade e, principalmente, a ineficácia de abordagens parciais utilizadas no tratamento desta questão. Assim, são investigadas as percepções, atitudes e comportamentos de diferentes grupos de usuários de uma área de proteção relacionados aos impactos funcionais recíprocos entre a ocupação urbana e mananciais hídricos de abastecimento, bem como as variáveis que interferem nesse sentido. Além disso, considerando o valor da água como elemento natural da paisagem, são avaliados os impactos estéticos recíprocos entre a ocupação urbana e mananciais hídricos de abastecimento, através das percepções dos usuários, e explorados os fatores que afetam tais impactos. Ainda, são investigadas as demais respostas emocionais produzidas por mananciais sobre a população, associadas ao potencial restaurador da água, e os efeitos de sua atratividade sobre a ocupação urbana em seu entorno. A área selecionada para o estudo é a APA do Iraí, localizada na Região Metropolitana de Curitiba, escolhida em função da importância do manancial, de seu potencial estético e da pressão exercida pela ocupação urbana. Os métodos de coleta e análise de dados estão fundamentados na área de pesquisa ambiente-comportamento. Para a coleta de dados, foram realizados levantamentos de arquivo e físico, e aplicados questionários, entrevistas e mapas mentais. Os resultados mostram, por exemplo, que as percepções quanto ao estado de conservação do manancial são influenciadas pela proximidade dos indivíduos em relação ao mesmo e pelo conhecimento destes acerca da problemática dos mananciais da região. Esta variável, assim como o contato físico dos indivíduos com o manancial, também se revela importante na predição de atitudes e comportamentos mais favoráveis à sua conservação. Ademais, os impactos estéticos e outras reações emocionais significativamente positivos produzidos pelo manancial sobre a população, explicados sobretudo pela presença marcante da água na paisagem, evidenciam seu poder de atração, comprovado pelos usos dados aos espaços mais próximos a suas margens. Espera-se que os resultados encontrados sejam úteis ao planejamento e à gestão de áreas de proteção de mananciais, fornecendo subsídios à construção de abordagens mais amplas e eficazes, que considerem as relações entre a população, o espaço urbano e as águas destinadas ao abastecimento público. / This research deals with the inclusion of aspects related to the environmental perceptions, attitudes and behaviors in planning and management processes of protection areas of water supply sources, in view of the importance of water, the current availability crisis and, above all, the ineffectiveness of partial approaches used in the treatment of this issue. Thus, this study investigates the perceptions, attitudes and behaviors of different groups of users in a protection area related to the functional reciprocal impacts between urban settlements and water supply sources, as well as variables that affect those aspects. Moreover, considering water value as a landscape natural element, the reciprocal aesthetic impacts between urban occupation and water supply sources are explored, through the perceptions of users, as well as the factors that affect such impacts. Furthermore, other emotional responses produced by water supply sources over the population are investigated, associated with the water healing potential, and the effects of water attractiveness on urban occupation in their surroundings. The area selected for this study is the APA of Iraí, located in the metropolitan region of Curitiba, chosen according to the importance of the water supply source, its aesthetic potential and urban occupation pressure. The methods of data collection and analysis are based on environment-behavior research area. For data collection, files and physical assessments were carried out and questionnaires, interviews and mental maps were applied. The results show, for example, that perceptions about the conservation state of the water supply source are influenced by the proximity of individuals and the knowledge about the problem of the water supply source of the region. This variable, as well as physical contact between individuals and water supply source, is also an important predictor of favorable attitudes and behaviors to its conservation. Moreover, the aesthetic impacts and other significantly positive emotional reactions produced by the water supply source on the population, explained mainly by the strong presence of water in the landscape, highlight its power of attraction, demonstrated by the uses of the closest spaces to their shores. It is expected that the results are useful for planning and management of protection areas of water sources by providing subsidies to build wider and more effective approaches that consider the relationships between population, the urban space and water for public supply.

This diploma thesis is focused on period of Prague Spring 1968 and it also marginally follows its development in the following years 1969 and 1970. The thesis deals with the district of České Budějovice and studies all the key events of the year 1968 in this district and especially in its capital town. Regional events are researched and compared in the context of the whole Czechoslovakian Republic. Besides the description of the important events, the thesis is also focused on the everyday life of the town?s inhabitants in the time of the Soviet occupation. During the author?s research the records from the State Regional Archives Třeboň (the fund of South Bohemian Regional Committee of Communist Party of Czechoslovakia ? JKV KSČ) and the State District Archives České Budějovice (the fund of Town?s National Committee České Budějovice ? MěNV České Budějovice - and the chronicles) were used. The author of this thesis also worked with the period and contemporary newspapers as well as six eyewitnesses of the described events. The knowledge learned from the archive records is completed with the pieces of information from the literature. Attention in this diploma thesis is paid especially to the politics of JKV KSČ and MěNV České Budějovice in the time of the Prague Spring reforms, organizations such as KAN and K 231, daily newspaper Jihočeská pravda after the abolition of censorship, occupation of České Budějovice and other towns in the district by the Soviet forces, victims of the occupation and the events that occurred in the autumn of 1968, especially the incidents that happened during the Great October Socialist Revolution celebration.

Karel Ančerl 1968-1973. A documentary monograph OBJECTIVES: The main objective of this thesis is to capture and describe the last five years (1968-1973) of life and artistic achievements of the conductor Karel Ančerl. This is a topic which has not been elaborated on an academic level yet. On the beginning of the captured period we find Ančerl to be a prominent member of the Czechoslovak music environment working as the chief conductor of the Czech Philharmonic. At the end of this period, Ančerl permanently lived and worked in Canada as the chief conductor of the Toronto Symphony. This fact is reflected in the two main topics of this thesis. First, there is the theme of process of following a qualitative change which the Toronto Symphony undertook during Karel Ančerl's leadership. Second, there is the relationship of the conductor to the Czechoslovak environment and its musical tradition. Main axis of the thesis is defined by a chronological following of the affairs of Karel Ančerl's life story in the given period. METHODOLOGY: Since the estate of Karel Ančerl has been missing, some of the important - maybe even the most important - documents still remain unknown. The story is being told with the help of supporting sources, just like is the correspondence between Ančerl and Ivan Medek, which covers...

The topic of my diploma thesis is the Danish foreign policy between the years 1945 and 1949 and its relation to the Danish national identity. The main research question is, if and how the Danish national identity influenced the state's shift from the traditional neutrality policy to the North Atlantic Agreement. To understand the national narrative I use a discoursive analysis of selected sources, mainly the daily press and political speeches intended for public. I focuse not only on the image Danes had about them selves, but also on their view of the other agents of the international relations - mainly on the Soviet Union, the United States and the North. Keywords: Denmark, USA, Greenland, Occupation of Bornholm, NATO, UN, Marshall Plan, Easter Crisis 1948

The first objective of this research was to investigate the predictive validity of the learning potential as measured by Ability, Processing of Information and Learning Potential Short Version (APIL SV) in predicting work performance. The second objective was to investigate the predictive validity of personality as measured by the Occupational Personality Questionnaire Ipsative (OPQ32i) in predicting work performance. The sample consisted of 104 employees of a public sector department. Learning potential and personality were the predictor/independent variables; work performance as measured by supervisory rating was the only criterion/dependent variable of the study. The results revealed that both the APIL SV and the OPQ 32i dimensions did not correlate significantly with work performance as measured by supervisor rating. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.

L'étude des surfaces continentales est devenue ces dernières années un enjeu majeur à l'échelle mondiale pour la gestion et le suivi des territoires, notamment en matière de consommation des terres agricoles et d'étalement urbain. Dans ce contexte, les cartes d'occupation du sol caractérisant la couverture biophysique des terres émergées jouent un rôle essentiel pour la cartographie des surfaces continentales. La production de ces cartes sur de grandes étendues s'appuie sur des données satellitaires qui permettent de photographier les surfaces continentales fréquemment et à faible coût. Le lancement de nouvelles constellations satellitaires - Landsat-8 et Sentinel-2 - permet depuis quelques années l'acquisition de séries temporelles à hautes résolutions. Ces dernières sont utilisées dans des processus de classification supervisée afin de produire les cartes d'occupation du sol. L'arrivée de ces nouvelles données ouvre de nouvelles perspectives, mais questionne sur le choix des algorithmes de classification et des données à fournir en entrée du système de classification. Outre les données satellitaires, les algorithmes de classification supervisée utilisent des échantillons d'apprentissage pour définir leur règle de décision. Dans notre cas, ces échantillons sont étiquetés, \ie{} la classe associée à une occupation des sols est connue. Ainsi, la qualité de la carte d'occupation des sols est directement liée à la qualité des étiquettes des échantillons d'apprentissage. Or, la classification sur de grandes étendues nécessite un grand nombre d'échantillons, qui caractérise la diversité des paysages. Cependant, la collecte de données de référence est une tâche longue et fastidieuse. Ainsi, les échantillons d'apprentissage sont bien souvent extraits d'anciennes bases de données pour obtenir un nombre conséquent d'échantillons sur l'ensemble de la surface à cartographier. Cependant, l'utilisation de ces anciennes données pour classer des images satellitaires plus récentes conduit à la présence de nombreuses données mal étiquetées parmi les échantillons d'apprentissage. Malheureusement, l'utilisation de ces échantillons mal étiquetés dans le processus de classification peut engendrer des erreurs de classification, et donc une détérioration de la qualité de la carte produite. L'objectif général de la thèse vise à améliorer la classification des nouvelles séries temporelles d'images satellitaires à hautes résolutions. Le premier objectif consiste à déterminer la stabilité et la robustesse des méthodes de classification sur de grandes étendues. Plus particulièrement, les travaux portent sur l'analyse d'algorithmes de classification et la sensibilité de ces algorithmes vis-à-vis de leurs paramètres et des données en entrée du système de classification. De plus, la robustesse de ces algorithmes à la présence des données imparfaites est étudiée. Le second objectif s'intéresse aux erreurs présentes dans les données d'apprentissage, connues sous le nom de données mal étiquetées. Dans un premier temps, des méthodes de détection de données mal étiquetées sont proposées et étudiées. Dans un second temps, un cadre méthodologique est proposé afin de prendre en compte les données mal étiquetées dans le processus de classification. L'objectif est de réduire l'influence des données mal étiquetées sur les performances de l'algorithme de classification, et donc d'améliorer la carte d'occupation des sols produite. / Land surface monitoring is a key challenge for diverse applications such as environment, forestry, hydrology and geology. Such monitoring is particularly helpful for the management of territories and the prediction of climate trends. For this purpose, mapping approaches that employ satellite-based Earth Observations at different spatial and temporal scales are used to obtain the land surface characteristics. More precisely, supervised classification algorithms that exploit satellite data present many advantages compared to other mapping methods. In addition, the recent launches of new satellite constellations - Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 - enable the acquisition of satellite image time series at high spatial and spectral resolutions, that are of great interest to describe vegetation land cover. These satellite data open new perspectives, but also interrogate the choice of classification algorithms and the choice of input data. In addition, learning classification algorithms over large areas require a substantial number of instances per land cover class describing landscape variability. Accordingly, training data can be extracted from existing maps or specific existing databases, such as crop parcel farmer's declaration or government databases. When using these databases, the main drawbacks are the lack of accuracy and update problems due to a long production time. Unfortunately, the use of these imperfect training data lead to the presence of mislabeled training instance that may impact the classification performance, and so the quality of the produced land cover map. Taking into account the above challenges, this Ph.D. work aims at improving the classification of new satellite image time series at high resolutions. The work has been divided into two main parts. The first Ph.D. goal consists in studying different classification systems by evaluating two classification algorithms with several input datasets. In addition, the stability and the robustness of the classification methods are discussed. The second goal deals with the errors contained in the training data. Firstly, methods for the detection of mislabeled data are proposed and analyzed. Secondly, a filtering method is proposed to take into account the mislabeled data in the classification framework. The objective is to reduce the influence of mislabeled data on the classification performance, and thus to improve the produced land cover map.

Therefore, the interpretation aims to understand the logics that organize the meanings attributed to the past expressed in the statements of its protagonists and the political ritualization of the event prepared by the MST. Accordingly, the focus is on memory by reference to occupation realized by the Movement in Ceará in May 1989 on land owned by General Wicar Parente Paula Pessoa called Fazendas Reunidas São Joaquim located in the municipality of Madalena in the region of Central Hinterland Ceará. The speech of the occupation’s participants reconstruct its organizational experience through discursive elaborations operating the establishment of time frames that are linked to various social processes, such as schemes of work and production, sociability, ownership structure, religion and political participation. In this sense, the accounts of individuals surveyed indicate two different times of the occupation occurred in 1989, they are: The time of the farmer and When the settlers arrived. The first temporality limited social relationships before the occupation and relates to the traditional system of political domination, forms of subjection of labor in large land holdings and small-scale agricultural production in smallholdings inherent in rural areas of Ceara in 1980. By other hand, the second temporality adds a pastoral temporality of Christianity of liberation, social conflicts between employers and domestic workers to the farms, the union activity, social mobilization for the implementation of the occupation, the arrival of the occupants of the property, the moment of the camp and the establishment of the settlement on 25 de Maio. The rural workers participating in the process on focus symbolically elaborate their social experience in a ritual named mística. On this ritual, the memory of the first occupation of land in Ceará realized by the MST is appropriated in a speech about exaltation and occultation allowed by members of the Movement as a legitimate form of enunciation of the event. The discourse of remembrance embodies a function justifying the actions of resistance in a reference to a past working in the social construction of time in reference to an event perceived as a founder: the occupation. / A questão central deste estudo é compreender como os trabalhadores rurais integrantes do Movimento de Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) reconstroem a experiência social de sua primeira ocupação de terra no Ceará tendo como referência fundamental a categoria tempo. Portanto, a interpretação visa perceber as lógicas que organizam os sentidos atribuídos ao passado expressos nas falas dos seus protagonistas e na ritualização política do evento elaborada pelo MST. Nesse sentido, a memória em foco tem por referência a ocupação realizada pelo Movimento no Ceará em maio de 1989 nas terras de propriedade do general Wicar Parente de Paula Pessoa chamadas de Fazendas Reunidas São Joaquim localizadas no município de Madalena na região do Sertão Central cearense. Os relatos dos participantes da ocupação reconstroem sua experiência organizativa por meio de elaborações discursivas que operam a constituição de temporalidades vinculadas a processos sociais diversos, como: regimes de trabalho e produção, sociabilidade, estrutura de propriedade, religião e participação política. Nesse sentido, os relatos dos sujeitos pesquisados apontam duas temporalidades da ocupação ocorrida em 1989, são elas: O tempo do patrão e Quando os assentados chegaram. A primeira temporalidade circunscreve as relações sociais anteriores à ocupação e relaciona-se ao sistema de dominação política tradicional, às formas de sujeição do trabalho nas grandes propriedades de terra e à pequena produção agrícola em minifúndios próprios ao mundo rural do Ceará nos anos de 1980. Por sua vez, a segunda temporalidade agrega a ação pastoral do cristianismo de libertação, os conflitos sociais existentes entre patrões e trabalhadores internos às propriedades rurais, a ação sindical, a mobilização social para a realização da ocupação, a chegada dos ocupantes à propriedade, o período do acampamento e o estabelecimento do assentamento 25 de Maio. Os trabalhadores rurais participantes do processo em foco elaboram simbolicamente sua experiência social num ritual nomeado de mística em que a memória sobre a primeira ocupação de terra do MST no Ceará institui as exaltações e ocultações discursivas admitidas pelos integrantes do Movimento como forma legítima de enunciação do vivido. Nesse sentido, o discurso de recordação encarna um papel justificador das ações de contestação no presente em referência a um passado trabalhado numa construção social do tempo em referência a um evento percebido como fundador: a ocupação.

The first of the study includes theree chapters. The first retrace the story of policies for low-income housing in Brasil and of the struggle for hegemony in the occupation of urban space. The second chapter discusses the spatial grwth of Fortaleza, its contradictions and the resulting forms and means of segregation. The third describes the urban dynamics observed in the city relating to the housing conditions and opportunities of the majority of the population. The second part includes two chapters and discusses the knowledge and know-how developed during the struggle for housing and through the related social practices – especially in Fortaleza’s community organizations. These chapters examine the relationship between the knowledge produced during experiences in planned squatting – from the fight for land to the construction of the houses – and the changes in the mutirão1 programs and their management. Case studies from Fortaleza’s neighborhoods of Messejana, Bairro Ellery, Pirambu and Dias Macêdo are presented. The principal sources of data and information were the oral testimonials of community leaders, suatters, coordinators os federations of neighborhood associations, technical staff os government bodies, NGO representatives, members of parliament, activists of progressive segments of the Catholic Church and members of the Joint Council for Housing. This information was cross-checked against official documents and statistics of the State of Ceará and the City of Fortaleza, data from community organizations, new clippings and academic studies on the topic. / O presente trabalho trata sobre o saber da prática social elaborado nas lutas pela moradia em Fortaleza, no início da década de 1980 até 1998, com foco nas estratégias de ocupação planejada de terrenos. A primeira parte do estudo, composta de três capítulos, versa sobre a trajetória da habitação popular e a luta pela hegemonia na ocupação do espaço urbano, a expansão da cidade de Fortaleza e um panorama atual da dinâmica da Cidade, no que se refere às opções de moradia para a maioria da população. A segunda parte, composta de dois capítulos, discorre acerca do saber da prática social, elaborado nas lutas por moradia, enfocando, especificamente a organização dos movimentos de bairros em Fortaleza, e refletindo sobre a relação entre os saberes produzidos nas experiências de ocupações planejadas, tanto na luta pelo terreno, quanto na construção das casas, e sua influência na condução do Programa Mutirões Habitacionais. As experiências estudadas localizam-se nos bairros de Messejana, Bairro Ellery, Pirambu e Dias Macedo. O estudo utilizou como fonte de informação as narrativas de lideranças, atores destas ocupações, dirigentes das entidades federativas locais no período, técnicos de organizações governamentais e não-governametais, parlamentares, militantes de setores da Igreja Católica, membros do Conselho Municipal de Habitação, além de documentos oficiais, acervos das entidades, dados estatísticos, jornais e outros estudos realizados.

Durant les premières années de leur vie, plus de la moitié des enfants de zéro à cinq ans en France sont pris en charge par d'autres personnes que leurs parents. La demande en structures d'accueil pour les enfants d'âge préscolaire s'est intensifiée. Malgré les disparités régionales et les carences en équipements dans certaines communes, un dispositif a été mis en place sur le territoire national qui consiste à mettre à la disposition des enseignants des écoles maternelles, des personnels devant les seconder auprès des jeunes enfants. De nombreux professionnels de la petite enfance et différents responsables sont conscients que les premières années de scolarisation de l'enfant sont importantes. Il est donc indispensable de l'entourer d'un personnel disponible et qualifié. Des études montrent que l'existence du phénomène de la scolarisation des enfants de deux ans pose entre autre problème celui de l'identification de certaines professions liées à la petite enfance. Ainsi, nous consacrons essentiellement notre recherche au travail d'assistance à l'enseignant proposé par l'agent territorial spécialisé des écoles maternelles (Atsem) sous le titre «la professionnalisation du métier d’agent territorial spécialisé de l’école maternelle : évolution du statut professionnel et enjeux éducatifs». Le choix du sujet se justifie par rapport à l'importance de son rôle pédagogique dès les premières années de la scolarisation du jeune enfant. Aussi, cette thèse comble un vide, puisqu’elle traite de la question des enjeux éducatifs et sociaux d’un métier de la petite enfance peu connu dans une démarche de professionnalisation. En outre, nous mettons en relief trois périodes importantes de l’évolution du statut professionnel en lien avec la réalisation de l’activité professionnelle de manière à identifier les configurations distinctes qui traduisent les modalités différentes de professionnalisation dans l’analyse des pratiques d’une part, et d’appréhender au-delà des enjeux de professionnalisation, les conditions d’accueil et de prise en charge du jeune enfant en maternelle d’autres part. Cette recherche aborde également un aspect du domaine sensible de la scolarisation de la petite enfance de 2/5 ans. Sans doute que les transformations structurelles et organisationnelles très profondes de l’école maternelle ont contribué largement à modifier les espaces d’apprentissage et les enjeux éducatifs du travail de l’ATSEM et des enseignants. / During the first years of their life, more half of the children from zero to five years in France are dealt with by other people that their parents. The request of reception facilities for the preschool Childs intensified. In spite of regional disparities and the deficiencies out of equipment in certain communes, device was set up on the national territory which consists in putting at the disposal of teachers of the nursery schools, of staffs having to assist them near the young children. Many professionals of early childhood and different responsible are conscious that the first years of schooling of the child are important. It is thus essential to surround it by a staff available and qualified. Studies show that the existence of the phenomenon of the schooling of the two-year-old children amongst other things poses problem that of the identification of certain professions related to early childhood. Thus, we devote primarily our research to the work of assistance to the teacher proposed by the territorial agent specialized of the nursery schools (Atsem) under the title “the professionalisation of the trade of territorial agent specialized in the nursery school: evolution of the professional statute and educational challenges”. The choice of the subject is justified compared to the importance of its teaching role as of the first years of the schooling of the young child. Also, this thesis fills a vacuum, since it treats question of the educational and social challenges of a trade of early childhood little known in a approach of professionalisation. Moreover, we highlight three important periods of the evolution of the professional statute in bond with the realization of the occupation so as to identify the distinct configurations which translate the methods different of professionalisation in the analysis of the practices on the one hand, and to apprehend beyond the challenges of professionalisation, the conditions of reception and assumption of responsibility of the young child in nursery school of other share. This research also approaches an aspect of the significant field of the schooling of the 2/5 years early childhood. Undoubtedly that the transformations structural and organisational very major of the nursery school largely contributed to modify spaces of training and the educational challenges of the work of the Atsem and the teachers.
