In the United States, approximately 46 million people have doctor diagnosed arthritis and arthritis is the leading cause of disability. Arthritis is used to describe over 100 rheumatic diseases. The most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout and lupus. Physical activity has recently been recommended for individuals with arthritis. Moderate and vigorous physical activity was assessed within this study. The primary goal was to assess the associations between arthritis, physical activity and other variables found to be associated with physical activity participation in the general population. The secondary goal was to assess the association between healthcare provider communication about exercise and participation in physical activity among those with a diagnosis of arthritis. BRFSS (2007) data and SPSS v.16 was utilized for data analysis. Results indicate the odds in favor of participating in moderate physical activity increase when a healthcare provider suggests physical activity for individuals with arthritis. This outcome stresses the significance of healthcare providers communicating the benefits of physical activity to individuals with arthritis and the general public.

The suggester functionality is an important feature of modern search engines. The aim of the thesis is to implement it for the OpenGrok project. The OpenGrok search engine is based on Apache Lucene and supports its query syntax. Presented suggester implementation supports this query syntax and provides suggestions not only for prefixes but also for wildcards, regular expressions, or phrases. The implementation also takes into account the possibility of grouping queries. That means, if one query is already specified and user is typing another query, then the first query will restrict the suggestions for the second query. The promotion of specific suggestions is based on the underlying Lucene index data structure and previous searches of the users.

La position de l’artiste dans l’écosystème du marché de l’art contemporain n’est pas satisfaisante à l’heure actuelle en raison de la mutation du milieu socio-économique de l’art. Son statut reste flou, il se voit infantilisé et instrumentalisé par son environnement proche. Aussi, l’interrogation cruciale tourne autour de savoir si l’artiste réussira à trouver d’autres voies pour se positionner différemment et y gagner en autonomie. Mes propres expériences m’ont conduit à penser que l’entreprise-artiste, concept porté par l’équipe de recherches Art&Flux depuis 2006, peut apporter une solution intéressante à cette question. Il s’agit alors d’un positionnement ancré dans la réalité qui permet une posture critique. Ma réflexion s’articule autour des concepts développés par Edouard Glissant sur la créolisation, de Gilles Deleuze et Felix Guattari sur le rhizome, de Michel Bauwens sur le peer-to-peer (pair-à-pair) et de Jeremy Rifkin sur l’économie du partage. En m’appuyant sur mon étude du terrain auprès des acteurs de l’art, j’analyse l’évolution des comportements des collectionneurs, plus enclins à devenir des amateurs ou des usagers. Cela me permet d’en arriver à la création d’une entreprise-artiste qui prend l’aspect d’une plateforme d’oeuvres participatives régie par la rencontre entre des artistes et leurs publics. Le but est de rendre visible et de développer toutes les richesses humaines au-delà de la seule richesse économique ou financière, pour développer le lien dans la relation aux autres, la créativité et le partage. / The art market has completely shifted, and as such, the artist’s role within its ecosystem appears impaired. Artists’ status has become blurred; they are infantilized and used by the art world and market. Crucial questioning thus emerges: Will artists reposition themselves in such a way as to gain autonomy? My own experience has led me to think that creating artist enterprises, with the project of artist-run businesses, could provide an interesting response to the current situation. This approach is anchored in reality and also leaves room for critical thinking in link with research team Art & Flux (a CNRS research team who is working on art, economy & society). My research furthermore combines thoughts and is structured by the ideas developed by Édouard Glissant concerning «Creolization», Gilles Deleuze and FelixGuattari’s «Rhizome», Michel Bauwens thinking about peer-to-peer methods, and Jeremy Rifkin’s research regarding the economics of sharing. My surveys and in-depth conversations with a selection of art world stakeholders have allowed me to carry out a worthwhile analysis of collectors’ changing habits. They appear ever more likely to gradually become connoisseurs, active contributors and users. Thanks to these consistent efforts, the stage of developing a platform of participatory artworks has been reached. This platform is a gateway for artists to gain direct access to their audience. This project’s overarching objective is to render all human riches accessible - beyond purely economic or financial preoccupations - to reinforce connections between people, through sharing and creativity.
