Recherches formelles dans la nouvelle écriture de deux femmes africainesIglesias, Lucinda Amalia 05 1900 (has links)
Ce travail a pour but d' analyser la facon dont deux
romancieres africaines, Veronique Tadjo et Calixthe Beyala,
reussissent a rendre leurs romans plus proches de leurs
experiences personnelles en tant que femmes. En exploitant des
formes innovatrices, elles arrivent a depeindre les complexites
de la condition de la femme. Pour mieux comprendre ces nouveaux
procedes d' ecriture, nous montrerons l' importance de la forme
ainsi que le rapport entre la forme et le contenu dans les romans
A Vol d'oiseau (1986) et Le Petit Prince de Belleville (1992).
Nous commencerons en situant le moment litteraire ou elles
ecrivent dans le courant de la litterature africaine. Dans le
premier chapitre, nous examinerons la forme des deux romans en
nous basant, en partie, sur quelques concepts tires de Esthetique
et theorie du roman de Mikhail Bakhtine. Le deuxieme chapitre
portera sur le rapport entre la forme et son contenu.
Nous pourrons conclure qu' a travers deux formes differentes
l' une de l' autre, Veronique Tadjo et Calixthe Beyala proposent
une solution originale pour l' emancipation des femmes africaines
dans une ecriture variee et dynamique. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate

The relationship between elementary classroom collections and the school library resource centre programDoiron , Ray 05 1900 (has links)
The school library resource centre and the collection of
trade books that classroom teachers gather in their
classrooms were the focus of an exploratory, descriptive
study designed around the first stages of an action research
model. Little research had been done on how effective
classroom teachers have been at acquiring trade books for
their classroom collections, and on how teacher-librarians,
working in partially or fully integrated school library
resource centre programs, helped make trade books accessible
to elementary teachers and students.
One instrument, The Survey of Elementary Classroom
Collections. was designed to examine four descriptive areas:
the contents and size of classroom collections, the source of
trade books for these collection, the organization and
management of classroom collections, and the use classroom
teachers make of these trade books. The 205 elementary
English language classroom teachers in one school district
were sent a Survey and 80% responded. The series of
interviews that followed were conducted with a stratified
random sample of 30 classroom teachers, nine principals and
seven teacher-librarians. The stratification was organized by
Phases 1, 2 or 3 of school library program development, which
were determined by the score on a second instrument. The Profile of School Library Resource Centre Programs. and from
information on staffing, resources and teacher-librarian
experience. Results were analyzed under the four areas
explored in the Survey, by grade level and by Phase.
A detailed description of the classroom collections led
to the development of the Independent, Interactive and
Integrated models for classroom collections. Each reflected a
different concept of the classroom collection, its role in
the literacy program and its relationship with the school
library resource centre program. Indications were that a
collaborative approach to trade book provisioning emerged in
schools where the school library resource centre program was
more fully integrated into the school curriculum. Details on
a school-based/district-wide strategy to build a
collaborative approach were given, as well as suggestions for
a plan of action for individual schools and for further
research to explore questions raised by this study. / Education, Faculty of / Language and Literacy Education (LLED), Department of / Graduate

Přínosy projektového řízení / Benefits of project managementŠipr, Jakub January 2020 (has links)
The main goal of the diploma thesis is to analyze whether a selected company uses efficient project management on a specific project and, if necessary, to propose changes in the project management of the selected project that would have a positive impact on its results. Based on the evaluated benefits of the proposed changes, establish recommendations summarizing further steps in improving project management in the company. The output of the analytical part are selected shortcomings (deviations from the PRINCE2 methodology), which had a negative impact on the objectives and financial results of the project. The following chapter deals with the proposal of changes in accordance with the PRINCE2 medotics, which should replace the selected shortcomings and the evaluation of the benefits of these changes. In the end, a recommendation for the company is set and the limitations of the research are listed.

Utrpení knížete Sternenhocha. Naratologická perspektiva / The Suffering of Prince Sternenhoch from the point of view of narratologyNováková, Anna January 2020 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with a prosaic text from Czech writer and philosopher Ladislav Klíma The Suffering of Prince Sternenhoch from the narratogical point of view. Firstly, it introduces its metodology. Thereafter, the thesis will try to bring nearer The Suffering of Prince Sternenhoch and to quote the informations about the genesis of the text, about its former reception and its latter adaptations. The main part of this thesis is a narratological analysis with the main focus on characters, narrator, focalization, time and space. The thesis concludes, that the focalization is the most important in the narrative of The Suffering of Prince Sternenhoch. This focalizations is also the reason why the text shows some similarities with the modern texts.

Filmatiseringar av Exodus : En undersökning om hur Moses liv framställs i film.Malmqvist, Lina January 2021 (has links)
Religion och film är ett ämne som fångat mångas intresse, inte minst de som önskar veta huruvida film är ett lämpligt medium för religion och för de som önskar använda filmer i sin religionsundervisning. Denna undersökning kom till för att ge svar på några sådana funderingar genom att undersöka hur två filmatiseringar, Prince of Egypt och Exodus Gods and Kings, skiljer sig från ursprungsberättelsen kring Exodus som finns i andra Moseboken. För att göra detta togs tre frågeställningar fram; om det finns skillnader mellan filmateringarna och grundhistorien och hur dessa i så fall yttrar sig, hur dessa eventuella skillnader påverkar berättelsens framställning samt huruvida filmatiseringarna kan användas i ett undervisningssammanhang. Undersökningen gjordes genom att använda en komparativ metod för att jämföra utvalda scener ur berättelsen med deras motsvarighet i filmatiseringarna och undersöka aspekter så som tidshantering, karaktärer och vilken typ av text de bedöms vara utifrån några förvalda kriterier. Resultatet visade att det finns stora skillnader i tidshanteringen i de utvalda scenerna och att många karaktärer fick en marginell roll som inte uppfyllde samma syfte i filmatiseringarna som de gjorde i den ursprungliga historien. Det gick också att utröna att filmatiseringarna främst var berättande snarare än beskrivande och alltså inte hade återberättande som sitt huvudsakliga syfte utan snarare underhållning. Baserat på dessa resultat kunde slutsatsen dras att det finns ett flertal olika skillnader mellan filmatiseringarna och ursprungshistorien och att dessa påverkar berättelsens framställning i hög grad. Hur framställningen påverkas av dessa ändringar hade behövt undersökas ytterligare. Det gick även att dra slutsatsen att de inte är lämpliga att använda i ett undervisningssammanhang utan att göra eleverna medvetna om de skillnader som finns och föra en diskussion kring dem, vilket är högst tidskrävande.

Machiavelli’s virtú : Is virtú only for show?Vikström, Dan January 2021 (has links)
Virtú has long been associated with manly traits like strength, cunning, valor, and ruthlessness. Much has been debated among these lines, whereas others have taken the approach of letting virtú and its meaning be undetermined. In this thesis a comparison between the different theoretical and practical meanings of Machiavelli’s teachings are discussed, with the conclusion being that there might be a case for virtú as being similar to showmanship, alternatively, an ingrained part of human nature. This conclusion is derived from comparison of different sources regarding Machiavelli’s works, with the Prince and the Discourses as the core of the interpretation. The flexibility of virtú and its circumstantial nature creates, through the arguments in this thesis, a basis for virtú as something other than a trait to have or to be developed. That being said, I am cautious to finalize a meaning to virtú, because of the nature of the word and its meaning. It has been interpreted to fit different subjective realities ever since its release, whereas this thesis might be found to do the same. Virtú and Machiavelli is hard to fully grasp, which makes it all the more interesting to try to derive meaning where none might be found.

Hydrocarbon potential of the Prince Albert Formation, Ecca Group in the main Karoo Basin, South Africa.Mosavel, Haajierah January 2020 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / This thesis focusses on the hydrocarbon potential of the Prince Albert Formation in terms of
its shale gas potential. Unconventional gas production from hydrocarbon-rich shale
formations, known as “shale gas”, is one of the most rapidly expanding trends in onshore oil
and gas exploration and exploitation today. In South Africa, the southern portion of the main
Karoo Basin is potentially favourable for shale gas accumulation and may become a game
changer in the energy production regime of the country. The Prince Albert Formation was
selected for research, since previous studies in South Africa have focused on shale from the
Whitehill Formation, which together with the underlying Prince Albert Formation, occur
within the lower Ecca Group in the main Karoo Basin.
The petrophysical properties and shale gas potential of the Prince Albert Formation was
determined using the parameters of mercury porosimetry, total organic carbon (TOC),
vitrinite reflectance, Rock-Eval and residual gas measurements. The lithostratigraphy, rock
classification, and depositional environment of the Prince Albert Formation, together with
the adjacent parts of the overlying Whitehill Formation and underlying Dwyka Group within
the southern part of the main Karoo Basin were addressed. Rock types were characterised
using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and statistical analysis. Geochemical
proxies and stable isotopes (δ18O, δ13C and δ15N) were used to identify the depositional
environment. Additionally, the Dwyka Group, Prince Albert and Whitehill formations were
correlated with equivalent Southern Gondwanaland units to understand basin development.
The results of the shale gas study of the Prince Albert Formation showed porosities ranging
between 0.08 and 5.6%, permeabilities between 0 and 2.79 micro-Darcy, TOC between 0.2
and 4.9 weight % and vitrinite reflectance values between 3.8 to 4.9%. Rock-Eval analysis
indicated that the kerogen in the shale was Type III and IV and hydrogen indices were less
than 65 mg/g. Free or absorbed gas was not detected in the recently drilled boreholes KZF-01
and KWV-01 used in this study. It is probable that the absence of gas is a result of overmaturity
due to tectonic duplication in KZF-01 and thermal degassing associated with dolerite
intrusions in KWV-01. Although the porosity and TOC values of the Prince Albert Formation
shales across the southern part of the main Karoo Basin are comparable with, but at the lower
limits of, those of the gas-producing Marcellus shale in the United States (porosities between
1 and 6% and TOC between 1 and 10 weight %), the high vitrinite reflectance values indicate
that the shales are overmature with questionable potential for generating dry gas.
A comprehensive rock classification were compiled for the Prince Albert Formation, which
consists of shale and minor ferruginous shale ranging between thicknesses of 30 and 168 m
based on field work and core descriptions. Mineralogical, geochemical and statistical data,
classified collected samples as Fe-shale, phosphatic shale, manganiferous shales, shale,
wacke, Fe-sand and litharenite.
In unconventional resources, understanding the depositional environment is important in
delineating the depositional process and bottom water conditions. The Prince Albert
Formation was interpreted as marine forming under dysoxic to euxinic conditions. δ 13C values
range between -17.5 and -23.1 ‰ and δ 15N between 8.5 and 11.1 ‰ reflecting marine
conditions. Sediments of the Prince Albert Formation were interpreted as middle to outer
continental shelf deposits based on various lithologies identified and XRF data (geochemical
proxies).
Compiled literature of the karoo- type basins in Southern Gondwanaland provides a
correlation of the Dwyka Group, Prince Albert and Whitehill formations in South Africa. Based
on stratigraphy and radiometric dating, the Dwyka Group, Prince Albert and Whitehill
formations have been correlated with lithostratigraphic units in the Falkland Islands, Namibia
(Huab, Karasburg and Aranos basins), the Ellsworth Basin of Antarctica and the Sauce Grande
and Parana basins of South America. This correlation suggest that the main Karoo foreland
system was subjected to very similar tectonic influences present in the other karoo-type
basins of Southern Gondwanaland.
In conclusion, results from this research indicate that viable conditions for shale gas might
exist within the “sweet spot” areas constrained by formation thickness being > 30 m, relative
dolerite intrusion of < 20%, relative total organic carbon content > 4 weight %, and maturity
of < 3.5%. It is essential that new exploration boreholes be drilled within the “sweet spot”
areas to test whether the lower Ecca Group (Prince Albert and Whitehill formations) has the
potential to generate viable shale gas.

The Influence of Superhydrophobicity on Laminar Jet Impingement and Turbulent Flow in a Channel with Walls Exhibiting RibletsPrince, Joseph Fletcher 28 August 2013 (has links) (PDF)
The object of this work is to explore the influence superhydrophobic (SH) surfaces exert in laminar jet impingement and when they are combined with riblets in turbulent channel flow. A SH surface generates an apparent slip due to the combination of micropatterning and chemical hydrophobicity. Because of surface tension, water does not enter the cavities between the features, increasing the contact angle of a water droplet on the surface and reducing the liquid-solid contact area. An analysis based on the integral momentum approach of Karman and Pohlhausen is presented that predicts jet impingement behavior on SH surfaces. The model is first applied to the scenario where the slip at the surface is isotropic and a downstream depth is imposed such that a circular hydraulic jump occurs. The model predicts the thin film parameters downstream of the jet and the radial location of the hydraulic jump. An increase in the hydraulic jump radius occurs as slip increases, momentum of the jet increases, or the downstream depth decreases. Modifications to the model are made for the scenario where the slip at the surface varies azimuthally, as would be the case for a surface patterned with microribs. The average behavior is similar, although now an elliptically shaped jump forms with the major axis aligned parallel to the rib/cavity structures. The ellipse eccentricity increases as the slip increases, the jet momentum increases, or the downstream depth decreases. Where there is no downstream depth imposed on SH surfaces, the thin film breaks up into droplets instead of forming a hydraulic jump. Further changes are made to the model to incorporate this behavior for isotropic and anisotropic surfaces resulting in circular and elliptically shaped breakups respectively. This work also explores SH surfaces with riblets in turbulent channel flow. Pressure drop measurements across surfaces exhibiting superhydrophobicity, riblets, and surfaces with both drag reducing mechanisms are presented. The SH surface reduces drag because the effective surface area is reduced and riblets are able to reduce drag by dampening the spanwise turbulence. Photolithography was used to fabricate all surface types. An aluminum channel with a control and a test section was used for testing. Pressure transducers recorded the pressure drop across smooth silicon wafers and patterned test surfaces simultaneously allowing for computation of the friction factors.

L’usage des marqueurs discursifs dans Le Petit Prince : Inventaire et traductions des marqueurs discursifs de la version française aux versions suédoises / The use of discourse markers in The little Prince : Inventory and translations of the discourse markers from the French to the Swedish versionsJezequel, Clara January 2022 (has links)
The purpose of this essay is to investigate the different uses of discourse markers regarding the French to Swedish translation of the book Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. This essay examines the use of discourse markers in both the French and the Swedish version of the book. It has for purpose to see if the discourse markers are used the same way, to depict the similarities and differences in regard to the Swedish translations of the corpus. Moreover, it examines closely the different strategies used for the translation of these discourse markers from French to Swedish. In order to be able to do this analysis, different theories about discourse markers were used for example the theory of Paillard, Lindström, Fraser and also the translation strategies of Ingo and the translation functions of Svane. In conclusion, the interjections of the syntaxial classes are the ones used the most. Moreover, intersubjective, elaborative and particle discourse markers of discourse are the most used when it comes to pragmatism. The similarities and differences can be explained by the time gap between the different corpuses, the different functions and strategies of translation.
