Le cinéma chinois indépendant se développe dans les années 1980, alors que la Chine vient de commencer une politique d’ouverture et de modernisation. Le pays, dont la croissance est exceptionnelle et continue, devient rapidement une puissance économique émergente. Il connaît ainsi un processus de mutations qui bouleverse ses territoires et les conditions de vie de ses populations. Jia Zhang-ke, qui est l’un des principaux cinéastes indépendants chinois, s’attache tout au long de son œuvre à filmer et à interroger ce processus de mutation. Son projet est de garder une trace de ce que les mutations détruisent, font disparaître, de ce qui le remplace, et également de ce moment même de la mutation. Pour tenter de filmer ce passage, Jia Zhang-ke met en œuvre des dispositifs filmiques d’entre-deux et d’alternance, s’enracinant dans les héritages de l’art pictural chinois et des modernités cinématographiques européennes. Son cinéma, en cela, questionne le processus de mondialisation, ou de globalisation, et participe à l’élaboration de la connaissance, en même temps qu’il peut être considéré comme une forme de résistance. / The independent Chinese cinema develops in the 1980s, while China has just begun a policy of openness and modernization. The country, the growth of which is exceptional and continuous, quickly becomes an emergent economic power. It so knows a process of transformations which upsets its territories and the living conditions of its populations. Jia Zhang-ke, who is one of the main Chinese independent film-makers, works throughout his work to film and to question this process of transformation. His project is to keep a track of what the transformations destroy, remove, of what replaces it, and also of this same moment of the transformation. To try to film this passage, Jia Zhang-ke operates cinematic devices of jump ball and alternation, taking root in the inheritances of the Chinese pictorial art and the European film modernities. His cinema, in that respect, questions the process of globalization, and participates in the elaboration of the knowledge, at the same time as he can be considered as a shape of resistance.

A aprendizagem torna-se vital para gestores que atuam em ambientes organizacionais envoltos em mudanças, complexidade, paradoxos e incertezas, permeados por inovações tecnológicas e desafiados por questões éticas, políticas, ambientais e econômicas. Este estudo propõe-se compreender os processos de aprendizagem de gestores e as implicações destas transformações em suas aprendizagens, nele integrando-se a teoria da aprendizagem transformadora, que enfatiza a reflexão crítica e o pensamento autônomo para analisar estas questões. Investigam-se, pela abordagem de história de vida, processos de aprendizagem de sete gestores e suas coletividades, em macrocontextos e em contextos específicos, integrando níveis de interação, aspectos objetivos e subjetivos. Os resultados revelam a interligação entre as aprendizagens ocorridas nos âmbitos profissional, pessoal e familiar, bem como entre desenvolvimento e aprendizagem, ao longo da vida. Destacam-se as aprendizagens envolvendo mudanças de esquemas de significados e transformações de perspectivas em mudanças profundas, além do papel da intuição e da emoção nesses processos. As mudanças contemporâneas que demandam aprendizagens incluem globalização e seus reflexos no contexto brasileiro; novas tecnologias; maior participação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho; responsabilidade sócio-ambiental. A análise das entrevistas dos sujeitos pesquisados evidenciou que estas mudanças implicam novos pensamentos, atitudes e sentimentos, nas carreiras e nos arranjos familiares. Neste movimento, são relevantes aprendizagens autodirigidas, constantes reciclagens de conhecimentos e superação de expectativas para o crescimento profissional. As carências de aprendizagem centram-se na ampliação de competências sociais relacionadas às interações (na gestão de pessoas, na criação e manutenção de networks e no equilíbrio entre as suas esferas de vida); à percepção de mudanças e previsão do futuro; ao autodesenvolvimento de paciência, de tolerância, de confiança e do controle da ansiedade, entre outros aspectos pouco contemplados pela educação gerencial. / Due to change, complexity, paradox and uncertainty in the organizational context, faced with technological innovations and with global ethical, political, environmental and socioeconomic problems, managerial learning becomes vital. The study aims to understand management learning processes and the implications of these transformations in their learning, integrating transformative learning theory, which emphasizes critical thinking and independent thought to analyze these issues. The life history approach is used to investigate processes of learning in macro contexts and in specific contexts, including levels of interaction, objective and subjective aspects of seven managers and their communities. The results show the link between learning occurring at the professional, personal and family levels as well as between development and lifelong learning. The study highlights learning process involving changes in meaning schemes and perspective transformation in deep changes, the role of intuition in complex problems and of emotion in these processes. Contemporary changes that require learning include globalization and its consequences in the Brazilian context, new technologies, the increased participation of women in the labor market and socio-environmental responsibility. These changes involve new thoughts, attitudes and feelings, in careers and family arrangements of the subjects studied. They also emphasize selfdirected learning, constant recycling of knowledge and the overcoming of expectations for professional growth. The learning needs focus on the development of social skills related to interactions (in the management of people, in the creation and maintenance of networks, and in the balance between their spheres of life); to the perception of changes and prediction of the future; to the self-development of patience, tolerance, control of anxiety and selfconfidence among other issues lacking in management education.

Crystal engineering has advanced the strategies of design and synthesis of organic solids with the main focus being on improving the properties of the developed materials. Research in this area has a significant impact on large-scale manufacturing as industrial processes may give rise, at various stages, to stress-induced transformations and product modification. This thesis investigates the solid-state properties at play in the case of the surface and structural reorganization which results from the stress within a crystal during the drying of labile multicomponent organic solids. Chapter 1 introduces various concepts in solid-state chemistry and explores their application in the manufacture of solid pharmaceuticals. The significance of stress-induced transformations during the drying process is illustrated by reactions associated with crystal decomposition processes such as dehydration, desolvation and sublimation. The chapter also introduces carbamazepine (CBZ) multicomponent materials as models for the studies of stress-induced transformations. Chapter 2 presents the experimental section of the work and describes the materials, methods and equipment used for the study. Chapter 3 presents the analysis of the various crystal structures of CBZ. The crystal forms are classified with an emphasis on a comparison of intermolecular interactions, coformer arrangement, crystal packing and the geometric parameters of slip/cleavage planes within the crystals. Chapter 4 details the experimental methods for preparation of the samples. Cooling solution crystallization was the standard method which has been selected, and crystal habit and surface variations have been studied as a function of the solution concentration and the crystallization environment. Attention is given, in particular, to the preparation of carbamazepine dihydrate and the specific cocrystals carbamazepine cocrystals formed with benzoquinone and oxalic acid. Chapter 5 is devoted to the dehydration of carbamazepine dihydrate for samples prepared and examined in approximate 1-gram laboratory scale quantities. It explores the effect of vacuum, temperature, humidity and seeding on the surface and bulk properties of the products. Chapter 6 presents the solid-state characterization results obtained for samples crystallized at a much larger scale (ca. kilogram quantities) with a particular emphasis placed on their mechanical properties. It explores the comparison of large scaled batches with laboratory scale samples in order to obtain a greater understanding of how small-scale laboratory studies may be extrapolated to more commercial processes. Chapter 7 present results on the stress-induced transformations of carbamazepine solvates and cocrystals. It details the effect of thermal decomposition on the surface and bulk properties of the products, possible seeding effects, and the interconversion between carbamazepine dihydrate and carbamazepine benzoquinone cocrystal. Chapter 8 combines the research findings concerning the structural analyses of the materials in the context of current literature. Limitations related to the use of carbamazepine as a model and to the experimental set-up are also explored. In the final chapter conclusions are presented which correlate observations made on the crystallization and decomposition of multicomponent materials operating at small-scale to effects appropriate to manufacturing of pharmaceuticals at large scale.

This dissertation introduces a novel approach for exposing the internal, source-level expressions of circuits generated by high-level synthesis (HLS) for in-circuit debug. The approach uses source-to-source transformations to instrument specific source-level expressions with debug ports. These debug ports allow a user to connect a debugging instrument (e.g. an embedded logic analyzer) to record the activity of the expression corresponding to the debug port. This dissertation demonstrates that a debugging solution based on these source-to-source transformations is feasible and that individual debug ports can be added for a cost of a 1-2% increase in circuit area on average. It also introduces another transformation that permits pointer-valued expressions to be instrumented for debug. It is demonstrated that all pointers in the CHStone benchmarks can be instrumented for an average 4% increase in circuit area. The debug port transformations are demonstrated on two HLS tools – Vivado HLS and Legup. The architecture of the source-to-source compiler allowed the necessary adaptations for the second tool (Legup) to be implemented using a minimal amount of additional code. Due to limitations in the Legup compiler an additional optimization was added to reduce the latency overhead incurred by the debug ports. User manuals and other documentation from 10 additional C-based HLS tools is examined to determine whether they are amenable to debug instrumentation using the source-to-source transformations. Of the 10 additional HLS tools examined, 6 were amenable to the transformations, 3 were likely to be amenable, and 1 was not. This dissertation estimates the cost of a complete debugging solution (i.e. one with debug ports and a debugging instrument) and identifies a possible worst case bound for adding debug ports. Finally, this dissertation analyzes two different debugging instruments and determines which instrument would be best for most HLS circuit mapped to FPGAs. It then estimates the overhead of this debugging solution.
