Synchronization analysis of complex networks of nonlinear oscillators / Analyse de la synchronisation dans un réseau complexe des oscillateurs non-linéairesEl Ati, Ali 04 December 2014 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur l'analyse de la synchronisation des grands réseaux d'oscillateurs non linéaires et hétérogènes à l'aide d'outils et de méthodes issues de la théorie du contrôle. Nous considérons deux modèles de réseaux; à savoir, le modèle de Kuramoto qui considère seulement les coordonnées de phase des oscillateurs et des réseaux composés d'oscillateurs non linéaires de Stuart-Landau connectés par un couplage linéaire.Pour le modèle de Kuramoto nous construisons un système linéaire qui conserve les informations sur les fréquences naturelles et sur les gains d'interconnexion du modèle original de Kuramoto. Nous montrons en suite que l'existence de solutions à verrouillage de phase du modèle de Kuramoto est équivalente à l'existence d'un tel système linéaire avec certaines propriétés. Ce système est utilisé pour formuler les conditions d'existence de solutions à verrouillage de phase et de leur stabilité pour des structures particulières de l'interconnexion. Ensuite, cette analyse s'est étendue au cas où des interactions attractives et répulsives sont présentes dans le réseau. Nous considérons cette situation lorsque les gains d'interconnexion peuvent être à la fois positif et négatif. Dans le cadre de réseaux d'oscillateurs de Stuart-Landau, nous présentons une nouvelle transformation de coordonnées du réseau qui permet de réécrire le modèle du réseau en deux parties: une décrivant le comportement de l'oscillateur « moyenne » du réseau et la seconde partie présentant les dynamiques des erreurs de synchronisation par rapport à cet oscillateur « moyenne ». Cette transformation nous permet de caractériser les propriétés du réseau en termes de la stabilité des erreurs de synchronisation et du cycle limite de l'oscillateur « moyenne ». Pour ce faire, nous reformulons ce problème en un problème de stabilité de deux ensembles compacts et nous utilisons des outils issus de la stabilité de Lyapunov pour montrer la stabilité pratique de ces derniers pour des valeurs suffisamment grandes du gain d'interconnexion. / This thesis is devoted to the analysis of synchronization in large networks of heterogeneous nonlinear oscillators using tools and methods issued from control theory. We consider two models of networks; namely, the Kuramoto model which takes into account only phase coordinates of the oscillators and networks composed of nonlinear Stuart-Landau oscillators interconnected by linear coupling. For the Kuramoto model we construct an auxiliary linear system that preserves information on the natural frequencies and interconnection gains of the original Kuramoto model. We show next that existence of phase locked solutions of the Kuramoto model is equivalent to the existence of such a linear system with certain properties. This system is used to formulate conditions that ensure existence of phase-locked solutions and their stability for particular structures of network interconnections. Next, this analysis is extended to the case where both attractive and repulsive interactions are present in the network that is we consider the situation where some of the interconnection gains are allowed to be negative. In the context of networks of Stuart-Landau oscillators, we present a new coordinate transformation of the network which allows to split the network model into two parts, one describing behaviour of an "averaged" network oscillator and the second one, describing dynamics of the synchronization errors relative to this "averaged" oscillator. This transformation allows us to characterize properties of the network in terms of stability of synchronization errors and limit cycle of the "averaged" oscillator. To do so, we recast this problem as a problem of stability of compact sets and use Lyapunov stability tools to ensure practical stability of both sets for sufficiently large values of the coupling strength.

Intervention et libération d'Edmund Burke à John Stuart Mill / Intervention and liberation from Edmund Burke to John Stuart MillKnufer, Aurélie 06 December 2013 (has links)
Ce travail examine le problème de l'intervention d'un État ou d'un peuple dans les affaires d'un autre tel qu'il fut formulé dans le libéralisme naissant et à partir de la conjoncture ouverte par la Révolution française de 1789. Après un détour par les auteurs du droit des gens, il examine les écrits de Burke et de Godwin afin de donner à voir la nature polémique et les origines révolutionnaires du concept d'intervention. Puis, prenant comme fil directeur l'œuvre de John Stuart Mill, qui s'est penché de manière récurrente sur ce problème, en lui apportant des réponses diverses et contradictoires, il s'efforce d'en montrer l'équivocité. Loin de pouvoir se ramener à un simple chapitre de la théorie de la guerre ou du droit international, la question de l'intervention militaire fut au contraire réfléchie en relation avec l'économie, la politique ou encore la morale - les penseurs libéraux, tels que John Stuart Mill, Benjamin Constant, ou encore Richard Cobden, s'efforçant, dans chacun de ces champs et en faisant circuler les concepts, les maximes et les raisons, d'élaborer un ou des principes de non-intervention. Il propose enfin une nouvelle traduction et une lecture des « Quelques mots sur la non-intervention » de John Stuart Mill, en exhumant la nature dialectique de cet article de 1859. / This study examines the issue of intervention from a State or a people within the affairs of another as formulated in the nascent Liberalism and from the situation brought about by the French Revolution of 1789. After considering the authors of the law of nations, the study examines the writings of Burke and Godwin in order to highlight the controversial nature and revolutionary origins of the concept of intervention. Then, following the work of John Stuart Mill as a guiding theme, a philosopher who has provided diverse and contradictory answers in his recurrent study of this issue, an attempt is made to demonstrate the equivocal nature of intervention. Far from being a simple matter of war theory or international law, the issue of military intervention has on the contrary been considered in relation to economies, politics, and even morals - liberal thinkers, such as John Stuart Mill, Benjamin Constant, and Richard Cobden, having endeavored, in each of these fields and by spreading concepts, maxims and reasons, to elaborate one or several principles of non-intervention. Lastly, a new translation and an interpretation of "A Few Words on Non-Intervention" by John Stuart Mill are proposed by highlighting the dialectical nature of this 1859 article.

John Stuart Mill, libéral utopique / John Stuart Mill’s liberal utopiaDejardin, Camille 28 November 2018 (has links)
Comment rendre compte de la richesse syncrétique, souvent mésestimée, de la pensée politique de John Stuart Mill ? Nous soutenons que celle-ci est cohérente et que sa clé d'unification se trouve dans sa conception du Progrès, conçu à la fois comme nature et comme destination humaine, qui permet de subsumer la diversité de ses théories au sein d'une utopie d'un type nouveau, libérale et centrée sur les conditions de sa production et de son maintien. En ce sens, la Partie I s’attache à identifier les différents apports idéologiques qui nourrissent ses écrits, entre libéralisme, socialisme et conservatisme, ainsi que leurs limites respectives. La Partie II propose le concept de « libéralisme transcendantal » pour décrire la relation et la complémentarité de ces différentes influences au sein d’une doctrine unifiée sous l'hégémonie du libéralisme, promouvant avec exigence l’autonomie humaine à l’échelle individuelle comme à l'échelle collective en s'attachant toujours à ses conditions de possibilité, aux fins du Progrès. La Partie III s'intéresse alors aux ressorts matériels, moraux et politiques de ce Progrès : développement indéfini des individualités et de « l'art de vivre », c'est-à-dire bonheur dynamique, dans un état économique et démographique pourtant « stationnaire », et sous des institutions représentatives vouées à cultiver l'excellence dans le respect du pluralisme. Au terme de cette reconstitution théorique, les Perspectives proposent des éléments pour une refondation de la pensée progressiste, en particulier écologique et éducative, émancipée des clivages partisans contemporains, dans l'esprit de John Stuart Mill. / John Stuart Mill's syncretic political thought is too often misestimated. My work aims to demonstrate that it is though consistent and that its pivotal point lies in Mill's vision of Progress: this one is conceived at the same time as the human nature and the human telos and as such, it unifies his views on education, happiness, social justice, economic stability and the aims and means of the representative government. All these elements build a new kind of utopia, a liberal utopia focused on the conditions of its own advent and preservation. In this perspective, my First Part will sort out which influences nourish Mill's writings, between liberalism, socialism and conservatism – none of these ideologies being completely accurate. Part Two will then theorize “transcendantal liberalism” so as to describe his approach as a unified doctrine polarized by liberalism but always keeping in mind what “liberty” relies on, i.e. the preconditions of individual and collective autonomy. Part Three will stress on which material, moral and political devices are required by such a goal: a steady-state economy and demography, moral growth and the culture of an “Art of Living” and a “religion of Humanity”, and finally the flourishing of a truly pluralist representative government. To conclude, the Perspectives will highlight a few elements inspired by Mill and likely to be useful for the renewal of nowadays ideology of Progress, particularly from an ecological standpoint.

Hur reagerar läsarna på sponsrade inlägg publicerade på Isabella Löwengrips blogg? : En teoriprövande studie av Stuart Halls teori om inkodning och avkodning. / How do readers react to sponsored posts published on Isabella Löwengrip's blog? : A theoretical study of Stuart Hall's theory of encoding and decoding.Lorentzon, Karin, Gustafsson, Victor January 2017 (has links)
Denna studie handlar om hur ett sponsrat blogginlägg av en influencer inkodas och hur läsarna i kommentarerna avkodar meddelandet och reagerar på inlägget. Studiens syfte är att öka förståelsen för hur läsare avkodar sponsrade blogginlägg. Vi antog innan genomförandet att fler skulle avkoda meddelandena på ett sätt som skulle vara mer kritiskt gentemot samarbetet, därför har det gjorts en teoriprövande studie av Stuart Halls teori om inkodning och avkodning. För uppnå vårt syfte har vi använt oss av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Med hjälp av analytiska begrepp från MCDA har vi undersökt både inläggen samt de tillhörande kommentarerna och tagit fram de relevanta delarna i materialet. Detta har sedan analyserats med våra teoretiska begrepp. För att se hur influencern, i vårt fall Isabella Löwengrip, förmedlar känslor som ett sätt att inkoda ett meddelande använde vi oss av de retoriska övertalningsmedlen ethos, pathos och logos. När kommentarerna analyserades användes de tre hypotetiska positionerna från receptionsteorin för att se hur läsarna avkodade meddelande. Resultatet visade att majoriteten av läsarna avkodade meddelandet som Isabella Löwengrip avsett och hamnade i den dominerande/hegemoniska positionen. Det går att utläsa i analysen att inte alla som kommenterar befinner sig i den dominerande/hegemoniska positionen. Slutsatsen blir att receptionsteorin, närmare bestämt Stuart Halls teori om inkodning och avkodning stämmer då olika individer avkodar ett meddelande på olika sätt. Detta betyder att antagandet om att mottagarna ställer sig kritiskt gentemot samarbeten på den utvalda bloggen inte stämmer. / This study is about how a sponsored blog post of an influencer is encoded and how the readers in the comments decode the message and respond to the post. The purpose of the study is to increase understanding of how readers decode sponsored blog posts. We assumed before the implementation that more people would decode the messages in a manner that would be more critical of the cooperation, so a theory-based study of Stuart Hall's theory of encoding and decoding has been made. To achieve our purpose, we have used a qualitative content analysis. With the help of analytical concepts from MCDA, we have investigated both the submissions and the accompanying comments and developed the relevant parts of the material. This has since been analyzed with our theoretical concepts. To see how a influencer, in this case Isabella Löwengrip, imparts feelings as a way of writing a message, we used the rhetorical persuasions ethos, pathos and logos. When the comments were analyzed, the three hypothetical positions were used from the reception theory to see how readers decoded the message. The result showed that the majority of readers decoded the message that Isabella Löwengrip intended and ended up in the dominant/hegemonic position. It is possible to read in the analysis that not everyone commenting is in the dominant/hegemonic position. The conclusion is that the reception theory, more specifically Stuart Hall's theory of encoding and decoding, is correct when different individuals decode a message in different ways. This means that the assumption that recipients are critical of the cooperation on the chosen blog do not match.

A grounded theory analysis of novice and veteran principals through the Dreyfus and Greenfield modelsRishi, Shobhana 01 January 2004 (has links)
The purpose of this exploratory study was to develop categories of work meaningful to elementary school principals that are significant at the beginning of one's career and after ten or more years on the job. A total of 15 public elementary school principals were interviewed. Using grounded theory, the interview data were analyzed and coded for topics that represented work concerns in beginning and later career. The results were interpreted within the Dreyfus model of learning to identify the principals' levels of performance and through the Greenfield model to identify the areas of principal work that presented continuing challenges for both novice and veteran principals. The analysis of the data revealed that principals confronted by time management issues such as the pace and multiplicity of demands in the first year of work have difficulty gaining control over their jobs, primarily in the Managerial and Social Interpersonal Dimensions. Veterans continue to incorporate changes in the Instructional Dimension that is the focus of educational reform initiatives. Data also suggested that the performance and behaviors of principals in their first two years indicated that they are functioning as learners at the Novice and Advanced Beginner levels of the Dreyfus model. Based on the results of this study, it is concluded that the work of principals is learned primarily through job experience, with little or no formal help. Feedback in the form of clear expectations and guidelines for calendaring and district procedures will enhance principal learning and make them more efficient managers of their time; opportunities for guided reflection will provide ongoing support for continuous learning on the job.

English diplomatic agents 1603-1688Dyson, Tomas January 2013 (has links)
The general historiography of Stuart diplomacy has, by and large, argued that those who were tasked with carrying out foreign policy were ineffective, amateurish and, in some cases, incompetent. This harsh view is in need of reassessment in the light of a number of incidents, which suggest that much effective foreign policy and general diplomatic work was carried out by lower-ranking diplomats, who were titled agents. These agents have attracted little historical comment or study. This thesis sets out to redress this by considering the agents employed from 1603 to 1688, when the title disappeared due to rank inflation, duties transferred to consuls, and other factors. The texts of the period on the perfect ambassador leave clear omissions in descriptions of diplomatic work, which therefore suggests a role for another type of diplomat, the agent. The initial chapter looks at background and education and offers a portrait of an average agent as typically a well-educated member of the lower gentry. The terms under which agents served are compared with other professional groups of comparable social rank and those in other government positions. Agents’ work in information gathering, including where and from what sources they obtained material and how it was transmitted, is investigated. The existence of an efficient international network is uncovered. Agents’ role in negotiations, unconstrained by protocol, allowed them a greater degree of freedom than ambassadors. This and the element of deniability are key to understanding their importance to Stuart diplomacy. The task of protecting merchants’ rights is demonstrated by a case study in France which shows all the usual stages involved in resolving a dispute. Involvement in buying naval supplies and cultural transfer are also discussed in chapters concerned with agents’ practical activities. Finally, the careers pursued after their agencies are outlined, showing how some, such as Cottington, used their skills and knowledge to their advantage. Having demonstrated the differences amongst, and the utility of, agents it is possible to suggest that some of the criticism of Stuart diplomacy comes from a misunderstanding of the use of both agents and ambassadors, and how, when and why each could be employed for a specific task.
