Des dels Estudis Culturals Consensuals on la televisió s'entén com a fòrum aquesta tesi doctoral estudia l'aportació del serial de Televisió de Catalunya a la construcció social de la realitat i el seu potencial com a institució intermèdia per a la negociació i objectivació social del sentit. L'objectiu de la investigació consisteix en entendre quines són les estratègies sobre les que el serial estudi de cas, El cor de la ciutat (2000-2009), proposa l'organització de l'experiència de la vida quotidiana en relació a qüestions que prèviament defineix com a temes i problemes socials rellevants per a l'individu al que adreça la seva acció comunicativa. La combinació de tècniques d'anàlisi textual i de contingut per l'estudi de l'agenda permet detectar les lògiques d'introducció i plantejament de determinats temes d'interès social i analitzar comparativament els marcs interpretatius i les estratègies discursives emprades segons es tracti de valors socials compartits, transgredits o contraposats. / Desde los Estudios Culturales Consensuales donde se define la televisión como foro esta tesis doctoral estudia la aportación del serial de Televisió de Catalunya a la construcción social de la realidad y su potencial como institución intermedia para la negociación y objetivación social del sentido. El objetivo de la investigación consiste en entender cuáles son las estrategias del serial estudio de caso, El cor de la ciutat (2000-2009), para proponer la organización de la experiencia de la vida cotidiana en relación a las cuestiones que previamente define como temas y problemas sociales relevantes para el individuo al que dirige su acción comunicativa. La combinación de técnicas de análisis textual y de contenido para estudiar la agenda permite detectar las lógicas de introducción y planteamiento de determinados temas de interés social, y analizar comparativamente los marcos interpretativos y las estrategias discursivas desarrolladas según se planteen valores sociales compartidos, transgredidos o contrapuestos. / From consensual perspective of Cultural Studies, considering television as a forum, this doctoral dissertation analyses the contribution of the longest serial of Televisió de Catalunya to the social construction of reality and its potential as intermediate institution for the social negotiation and objectivation of sense. The main objective of this research is to understand which are the strategies developed by El cor de la ciutat (2000-2009) to propose the organization of everyday experience in relation to questions that previously has defined as social issues and social problems, as part of the communicative action that Catalan television addressed to their viewers. A methodology combining textual analysis and content analysis techniques for studying agenda enables us to identify the logics for the introduction and approach of certain social issues and to examine, in a comparative framing and discourse analysis, which are the strategies implemented depending on values' dynamics (shared, transgressed or confronted).

ITC/USA 2009 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Fifth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 26-29, 2009 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) Integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) program is currently developing new standards for wired-wireless local area networking (LAN-WLAN) using the Internet Protocol (IP), for use in telemetry (TM) channels, under the umbrella of the Telemetry Network System (TmNS). Some advantages of TmNS are real-time command and control of instrumentation, quick-look acquisition, data retransmission and recovery ('gapless TM' or 'PCM backfill'), data segmentation, etc. The iNET team is developing and evaluating prototypes, based on commercial 802.x and other technologies, in conjunction with Range Commander's Council (RCC) Inter-Range Instrumentation Group (IRIG) standards and standards developed under the iNET program.

台灣的電視劇從民國五十八年由中國電視公司製播的【晶晶】開啟戲劇新紀元，歷經近四十年台灣電視劇，隨著時代的變遷，在順境中求變化、在逆境中求生存，從八點檔連續劇到九點半單元劇，再由本土劇到偶像劇，期間尚有類戲劇穿插其間，台灣戲劇的豐富性與類型之多變，也造就台灣文化娛樂產業持久的競爭力。 近年來，由於傳播科技日新月異，加上有線頻道的開放，媒體市場競爭更形白熱化，置入式行銷（Product Placement）也順勢成為行銷人員使用的行銷手法之一，而置入式行銷即運用戲劇節目的優勢，將商品或品牌與戲劇進行結合，企圖為商品或品牌創造更多元的曝光機會。 本研究即針對十一位涵蓋戲劇製作端、媒體代理商與廣告主三種領域、具有電視劇置入式行銷實務執行經驗的產製前端人士進行深度訪談，希望藉由前製端實際從事置入式行銷專業人士的角度，深度剖析並歸納電視劇置入式行銷的運作，並進而建構從事電視劇置入式行銷的觀念與操作建議，期望經由本研究提供各方正向的思考，更希望未來在實質上能有助於提升置入式行銷的精進。 / Since the China Television Corporation（CTV）produced the first Taiwan’s TV serial drama---“Jingjing”（晶晶）in 1969, a new era of drama began. From the prime-time soap opera, 9P.M. unit theatrical, to local serial drama, idol drama and even docudrama, TV opera in Taiwan are full of variety. Changing based on primary trends is the reason why entertainment industry in Taiwan can keep highly competitive in the past 40 years. Due to the great development of communication technology and cable TV system, media commercial market in Taiwan became more and more competitive. Now marketing staff usually adopt “Product Placement Strategy” to combine merchandise and TV opera. They want to create more and various opportunities to expose the products and brands in the shows. This research used the way of depth interview with 11 persons who have full working experiences on three dimensions: the production of TV drama, media agent and client, then concluded the opinions from these professional people. Via the view of pre-production specialists for product placement marketing field, this research analyzes and induces the way to operate a successful marketing campaign by using product placement strategy in Taiwan TV serials. The purpose of this research is providing positive suggestions to enhance the performance of placement marketing.

Les enfants atteints d’un trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA) présentent souvent des difficultés à généraliser leurs apprentissages à des nouveaux stimuli, contextes et individus (Brown & Bebko, 2012; Happé & Frith, 2006; Lovaas, Koegel, Simmons, & Long, 1973; Plaisted, O'Riordan, & Baron-Cohen, 1998). Pour cette raison, il est important d’utiliser des techniques promouvant la généralisation au sein des programmes d’intervention leur étant destinés. Cette recherche visait à évaluer l’efficacité de deux des techniques les plus fréquemment utilisées dans les programmes d’intervention comportementale intensive (ICI), soit l’enseignement séquentiel et l’enseignement simultané, afin de déterminer si l’une d’elles était systématiquement plus efficace que l’autre pour promouvoir la généralisation des concepts chez les enfants ayant un TSA. Des devis expérimentaux à cas unique ont été utilisés pour évaluer les effets des deux techniques sur la généralisation de quatre enfants ayant un diagnostic de TSA et recevant des services d’ICI en clinique privée. Pour deux participants, la méthode enseignement simultané a démontré une plus grande efficacité quant à la généralisation des concepts enseignés. Pour les deux autres, les deux techniques se sont avérées aussi efficaces. Bien que préliminaires, les résultats suggèrent qu’il serait préférable d’appliquer la méthode enseignement simultané lors de l’enseignement de concepts chez les enfants ayant un TSA en contexte d’ICI. / Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often show difficulties in generalizing what they have learned to new stimuli, contexts or persons (Brown & Bebko, 2012; Happé & Frith, 2006; Lovaas, Koegel, Simmons, & Long, 1973; Plaisted, O'Riordan, & Baron-Cohen, 1998). For this reason, it is important to implement strategies to promote generalization within programs intended for this population. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two of the most commonly used strategies in intensive behavioral intervention (IBI), serial training and concurrent teaching, to determine whether one was systematically more effective than the other at promoting generalization in children with ASD? Single-case experimental designs were used to assess the effects of the two strategies with four children with an ASD diagnosis receiving services in a private clinic. For two participants, concurrent teaching was more effective to promote generalisation of the learned concepts. For the remaining two participants, the two strategies were equally effective. Albeit preliminary, the results suggest that it may be preferable to introduce exemplars concurrently when teaching concepts to children with ASD within IBI programs.

The evolution and development of eyespot and non-eyespot colour pattern elements was studied in Vanessa butterflies using a phylogenetic approach. A Bayesian phylogeny of the genus Vanessa was reconstructed from 7750 DNA base pairs from 10 genes. Twenty-four non-eyespot and forty-four eyespot color pattern elements from the Nymphalid ground plan were defined and studied and their evolutionary history was traced on the Vanessa phylogeny. Ancestral character states were predicted and the direction of evolutionary changes was inferred for all characters. Five serially arranged eyespots were predicted for the ancestral Vanessa on all wing surfaces. Homologous eyespot and non-eyespot characters on the surfaces of the forewing were more similar than those on the surfaces of the hindwing. Homologous eyespot characters on the dorsal surfaces of fore and hindwings show more similarities than the ventral surfaces, in contrast to what was found for non-eyespot characters. Independent Contrast analysis was also used to study correlations between eyespot characters. Independent Contrast analysis revealed significant correlations between eyespots 2 and 5 and eyespots 3 and 4 on all wing surfaces. This consistency among highly variable eyespot characters suggested a structural hypothesis: the existence of a Far-Posterior (F-P) compartment boundary and organizer could be responsible for the observed correlations. This hypothesis was tested in several ways. First, examination of wing patterns across species from all families of butterflies revealed correspondence between wing cells 1 and 4 and between cells 2 and 3. Second, evaluation of spontaneous mitotic clones in butterflies and moths reveals a peak abundance of clonal boundaries along the vein dividing wing cells 2 and 3. Finally, experimentally generated FLP/FRT mitotic wing clones produced in Drosophila, reveal a clonal boundary posterior to the L5 wing vein, which is homologous to the vein dividing wing cells 3 and 4 in butterflies. Collectively, this suggests the existence of an additional compartment boundary associated with an organizer in wing cell 3 responsible for patterning the posterior portion of insect wings. A model is proposed that predicts that the wing developmental compartment boundaries produce unique combinations of gene expression for each wing sector, permitting eyespot individuation. / February 2016

In its serial space, David Simon’s The Wire season two relates the seemingly “disconnected” union men, foreign sex worker women, and African-American drug traders and crosses constructed boundaries of race, gender, sexuality, and geography to evoke the possibility of a transnational working class. The Wire’s serialized narrative trespasses the limitations of money and numbers games and of individual characters to build, scene by scene, what Roderick Ferguson calls in Aberrations in Black: Toward a Queer of Color Critique “the location for new and emergent identifications and social relations” (108).

La criminalité sexuelle constitue aujourd’hui l’un des enjeux politiques et sociaux de nos sociétés contemporaines. Les débats auxquels elle donne lieu sont généralement l’occasion de souligner le rôle central des criminels sexuels récidivistes et de certains types de personnalités particulièrement dangereuses, parfois désignés sous le terme de « prédateurs sexuels », les plus dangereux étant les tueurs en série en raison de leur violence sexuelle meurtrière et les pédophiles en raison d’une inclination qui non seulement repousserait les limites de la morale en les amenant à s’en prendre à des enfants mais qui, de plus, pourrait participer, selon les théoriciens de l’abuseur-abusé, à reproduire un contingent d’agresseurs sexuels toujours plus important. Dans un tel contexte cette recherche doctorale a tout d’abord eu pour objectifs de contribuer à une meilleure connaissance des catégories de tueur en série et de pédophile ; d’analyser ensuite comment un ensemble de pratiques et d'idées à-travers un processus de catégorisation sont amenées à être pensées comme relevant d'un problème plus large, en l’occurrence la criminalité sexuelle ; et, enfin, inspiré par l’approche de Ian Hacking des maladies mentales transitoires de mettre en évidence les effets de la catégorisation sur les individus ainsi catégorisés et l’action en retour de ces derniers sur les catégories. / Sex-related crime is currently one of the most concerning political and social issues of our day. The resulting debates usually highlight the central role of repeat sex offenders and a number of particularly dangerous types of personality, often referred to as “sexual predators”, the most dangerous of which are serial killers, who are responsible for sexual violence and death, and paedophiles. The latter display an inclination that far exceeds moral boundaries by targeting children as victims, and could also, according to the theorists of the abuser-abused relationship, reproduce a more significant contingent of sexual aggressors. Within this context, this doctoral research aims first to contribute towards a better understanding of serial killer and paedophile categories and, subsequently analyse how, through a long categorisation process, specific practices and ideas are considered relevant to the broader issues regarding sexual criminality. Finally, this research, inspired by Ian Hacking’s approach to transitory mental illness, seeks to underline the effects that categorisation has on the persons concerned, including the latter’s influence on the former.

A partir de la fin du XIXe siècle, et notamment à travers les travaux de Richard Von Krafft-Ebing, de nouvelles représentations des perversions sexuelles humaines se mettent en place. La prise en compte de ces dynamiques dans l’homicide modifie les modes de classification des scènes de crime. Au XXe siècle, ces changements historiques conduisent à l’étude d’un phénomène rare et singulier : le meurtre sexuel sériel. Durant les années 1980, le F.B.I acquiert le monopole des savoirs et pratiques concernant la problématique des « serial killers ». De nos jours, ce monopole est remis en cause. Les profileurs du Bureau d’Investigation seraient les représentants d’une pratique pseudo-scientifique. Le serial killer serait avant tout une construction sociale initiée par la politique conservatrice des années Reagan. Selon certains psychiatres-psychanalystes, le F.B.I, en affirmant la place centrale des fantasmes sexuels dans la dynamique des crimes, aurait donné une image trompeuse du meurtre en série. A l’opposé, la présente étude entend démontrer que le principal enjeu n’est peut-être pas de déconstruire les discours du F.B.I, mais plutôt de confronter ces derniers à l’actualité des recherches scientifiques. Le profilage désignerait plutôt une méthode d’enquête dont les éléments de base sont susceptibles d’être corrigés et complétés. Sous cet angle, les modèles théoriques concurrents, notamment ceux défendus par la psychanalyse française, semblent également souffrir d’un certain nombre de difficultés. Certes, l’intensité des fantasmes sadiques ne peut pas être la seule dimension des actes criminels. Mais les fantasmes interagissent probablement avec les désirs et croyances des meurtriers. Si l’homicide sexuel sériel s’apparente, comme la plupart des commentateurs s’accordent à le dire, à une succession d’actes ritualisés, une approche anthropologique du phénomène pourrait avoir une certaine légitimité. Sous cet angle, des concepts tels que la psychopathie, la pulsion de mort ou l’omnipotence narcissique dissimulent peut-être l’existence d’un mécanisme victimaire à travers lequel les meurtriers engendrent leur propre religion ou mythologie. / From the late Nineteenth Century, in particular through Richard von Krafft-Ebing’s studies, new concepts have shaped the representations of sexual perversion. The study of the sexual dynamics in homicide cases changes the common methods of crime scene classification. In the Twentieth Century, these historical approaches lead to the study of a rare and particular phenomenon: serial sexual homicide. During the 1980s, the F.B.I dominates the field of practices and knowledge concerning the serial murder issue. Today, that domination is challenged. The F.B.I’s profiling methods are qualified as pseudo-scientific practice. Serial murder is nowadays more perceived as a simple social construction initiated by the Conservative politics of the Reagan years. According to some psychiatrists, the motivational model of the F.B.I has given a misleading picture of serial murder. The aim of the present work is to show that the main issue may not be to deconstruct the F.B.I’s studies, but to compare these first studies with current scientific research. Criminal profiling might be a method whose basic elements are likely to be corrected and completed. In this perspective, competing theoretical models, especially those held by psychoanalysis, also raise a number of difficulties. Of course, the intensity of sadistic fantasies can’t be the only dimension of criminal behavior. But fantasies probably interact with the desires and beliefs of the murderers. If serial sexual homicide appears to be, as most commentators agree, as a series of ritualistic acts, an anthropological approach may be legitimate. From this point of view, concepts such as “psychopathy”, “death drive” or “narcissism” do probably conceal the existence of a scapegoat mechanism by which killers are creating their own religion or mythology.
