The interest of this work is found in the potential ways of constructinggarments and how form can be explored within that field.This work explores how one can use draping as a construction methodapplied on garments to change the traditional shape and to create new formand silhouettes. The possibility to create form by using two depending components is thefoundation and aim of this collection. It will embrace different qualities inmaterials and challenge traditional garments and the view on how we usuallyand suppose to wear these garments. Garments are dependent mostly on the body of the wearer in first hand, onecould say that this work challenges that order when the two pieces aredeveloped being dependent on each other in first hand. Through relationship of fastening and uniting materials I will explore thepossibilities within form and volume and push the expression within thebasic forms within a traditional wardrobe. My aim is to further investigate the possibilities within womens wear bylooking at material, color and silhouette through a deconstructed way ofdraping. A collection of seven outfits is the result of this work. The outfits willchallenge the field of construction and how we traditionally make garments.The shapes and expression will be based on the interaction between garmentsand the materials.

[pt] A narrativa do texto de Mc 3,20-35 apresenta uma dinâmica em torno da casa, onde Jesus e seus interlocutores colocam- se frente a uma tensão simbolicamente representada no ato de estar dentro ou fora da mesma. Esta tensão vem marcada por uma ruptura, frente à pregação e ação de Jesus, por parte dos interlocutores, representativos das instituições políticas, religiosas e culturais do judaísmo no tempo de Jesus. Neste sentido, a ruptura entre Jesus e os que não aceitam o seu projeto: parentes (Mc 3,21), escribas (Mc 3,22), familiares (Mc 3,31), apontam para uma divisão da casa. Por outro lado, os que são chamados por Jesus (Mc 3,13-19), ouvem as suas palavras (Mc 3,33) e fazem a vontade de Deus (Mc 3,35), apontam para a unidade da casa. Da tensão entre unidade e divisão, percebe-se que a casa ocupa um lugar central, sendo portanto um elo e chave de leitura para todo o capítulo três do evangelho de Marcos. Esta presença acentuada da casa é bastante significativa, pois em diversos momentos ela é o lugar do encontro entre Jesus e os discípulos, lugar onde acontecem o ensinamento e a aprendizagem, em outras palavras, a casa/comunidade dos discípulos de Jesus, destacando a sua dimensão eclesial e comunitária. Estar dentro e fora da casa, passa a ser um diferencial marcante na perspectiva do seguimento de Jesus, pertença e participação do seu projeto. Na contribuição desta nova compreensão do texto, uma hermenêutica para toda relação intergrupal se faz presente, onde a tensão entre unidade e divisão se apresenta como condição para sua existência. / [fr] Le re cit du texte de Mc 3,20-35, présente une dynamique au tour de la maison o u Je sus et ses interlocuteurs se sont mis face à une tension symbolique ment représenté à l acte d être dedans ou dehors d elle même. Cette tension vient marque é par une rupture, face à la prédication et l action de Jésus, d aprés les interlocuteurs, représentaifs des institutions politiques, religieuses et culturelles du judaïsme au temps de Jésus. À ce sens, la rupture entre Jésus et ces qui n acceptent pas son projet: les parents (Mc 3,21), les scribes (3,22), les familiers (Mc 3,31), visent à une division de la maison. Par contre, ces qui sont appele s par Jésus (Mc 3,13-19), écoutent ses mots (Mc 3,33) et font la volonté de Dieu (Mc 3,35), ils visent lúnité de la maison. De la tension entre unité et division, on apperçoit que la maison occupe une place central, é tant donc, une liaison et la clé de lecture pour tout le chapitre trois de l e vangile de Marcos. Cette présence accentue é de la maison est trop significative, car edant plusiers moments elle est le lieu du rendez vous entre Jésus et ses disciples, lieu o u l enseignement et l apprentissage arrivent, en autres mots, la maison/communauté. Être dedans ou dehors de la maison, ça devient à être un différenciel remarquable dans la perspective de la suite de Jésus, qu il lui appartient et la participation de son projet. En contribution de cette nouvelle compréhension du texte, una herméneutique pour toute la rélation intercommunalle se fait présente, ou la tension entre unité et division se présente comme condition pour son existence.

Resumo: Nesta dissertação nós mostraremos, pela contribuição da filosofia de Merleau-Ponty, focalizando o conceito de expressão e os processos de referenciação, que as relações entre linguagem, corpo e mundo da vida são formadoras do simbolismo e da significação. Em acréscimo, examinaremos alguns desenvolvimentos recentes das vertentes lingüísticas de uma perspectiva sócio-cognitiva da linguagem, refletindo sobre as conseqüências da afirmação da união senciente-sensível para a ontologia clássica da mente e da linguagem, como também para a teoria corrente do conhecimento e dos debates epistemológicos sobre a negação dos dualismos interno-externo, sujeito-objeto e mente-corpo. / Abstract: In this dissertation we will show, through contribution of the philosophy Merleau-Ponty, focusing the conception of expression and the referention processes, however relations between language, body and life's world is formed the simbolism and the signification. In addition, we will examine some recent developments from the linguistics siope of a social-cognitive view of the language, reflecting upon the consequences of this assert of the unite perceive-perceptible to the classic ontogeny of mind and language, as well as to current theory of knowledge and espistemological debates about negation of the dualisms internal-external, subject-object, mind-body. / Orientador: Jonas Gonçalves Coelho / Coorientador: Edwiges Maria Morato / Banca: Helena Franco Martins / Banca: Mariana Claudia Broens / Banca: Rosana do Carmo Novaes Pinto / Banca: Lourenço Chacon / Mestre

La demande énergétique mondiale en constante augmentation, l'instabilité et l'incertitude du prix des énergies fossiles, la libéralisation du marché électrique et une conscience environnementale renforcée durant ces dernières années ont renouvelé l'intérêt du développement des énergies renouvelables. Parmi elles, l'énergie éolienne détient une situation privilégiée grâce à son progrès technologique et à ses coûts associés comparativement faibles. Dans ce contexte, l'apport envisagé avec ce travail de thèse est de collaborer à la conception optimale d'un système de production éolien isolé de petite taille, pour les sites où l'extension du réseau est difficile ou trop coûteuse. Un outil d'optimisation pour un système de génération éolien chargeur de batterie est proposé et validé. Le système de puissance est composé d'une quantité minimale d'éléments. De cette façon, la simplicité du système permet de réduire les efforts de maintenance et d'augmenter sa fiabilité à un coût minimal. Lorsqu'une production plus élevée est désirée, avec les mêmes moyens de production (turbine et générateur), une structure qui inclut un convertisseur électronique de puissance commandé par MLI est utile. Un tel système est étudié et vérifié par simulation numérique. Ce système ainsi modifié permet un transfert de puissance optimal, ce qui augmente la production d'énergie et peut ainsi réduire son coût. Une méthode d'estimation des pertes dans les convertisseurs statiques est aussi proposée et validée. Elle est utilisée pour calculer de façon plus précise l'énergie non fournie d'un système de génération hybride renouvelable installé en site isolé.

Although the 'affective turn' in social sciences lead to a new understanding of the effects of emotions on society, the role of emotions in media remains scarcely researched. Purpose of this study is to shed light on emotions in global television news and the ways in which gendered and racialized power relations may shape, and may be shaped by, emotional practices and discourses. Precisely because emotions play a significant function in discourses of political conflict, focus here is the coverage of political dissent, specifically the coverage of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in the two global television channels CNN International and Al-Jazeera English. The study thus builds on literature on emotions and political struggles, and literature on emotions in the media, to apply the questions posed therein to the medium global television. Analyzing broadcast items, this study employs a mixed method approach that combines a quantitative content analysis with a qualitative analysis of broadcast items grounded in Teun A. van Dijk’s tradition of critical discourse analysis, within an analytical framework that privileges emotions. The findings reveal an unequal distribution of voice in the coverage of both channels, which in connection with emotion practices and discourses, establishes a marginalization of voice along the lines of race, class, and gender. Accordingly, the study gives an account of the representation of voice, race, and emotions in the coverage of the Unite the Right rally, and establishes the importance of studying emotions in media in relation to these concepts.

O objetivo desse trabalho é compreender o papel de um ativo específico, os imóveis residenciais, na recuperação americana a partir de 2002, em que se destacaram a expansão do consumo das famílias e do investimento residencial. O ciclo de preço dos imóveis esteve condicionado pela política monetária expansiva do Federal Reserve e pela flexibilidade do sistema americano de financiamento residencial. A centralidade que o crédito ocupa na análise sobre os ciclos do tipo financial led e sua importância para a efetivação da compra do imóvel pelas famílias fez com que esse sistema de financiamento fosse enfatizado / Abstract: With the improvement of financial deregulation and liberalization, the assets cycles have exercised increasing influence over the expenditure decision in developed economies, specially the USA. The purpose of this work is to understand the role of a specific asset, the housing, in the American recovery since 2002, from when the increasing of consumer expenditures and residential investment has stood out. The cycle of housing price was conditioned by the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and by the flexibility of the American housing financial system. This system was emphasized due to the central role of credit in the analysis of financial led cycles and its importance for the house buyer / Mestrado / Mestre em Economia

The Abstract This thesis deals with the problematic of burn out syndrom. In the theoretical part it deals with the prevention from the side of the employer and the support of the Ministry of Health. It compares psychosocial support provided by the divisions of Integrated rescue system. In addition it describes the actual situation in providing of the long term intensive care with the focus on the roots of origins of the burn out syndrom in those departments. In the practical parts were describes 4 Prague hospitals (ÚVN, FN Motol, RK Malvazinky, ETOILE CZ, a. s.) and their areas of prevention, through the qualitative methodology of data collection. Through the analysis quantitative metodology, it was found out, that majority of the respondents would appreciate creation of anonymous phone line within the frame of psychosocial support. The respondents also claim that it would be good, if the employers would be given by the law the obligation to provide the psychosocial support. From the research it appears, that the employers, eventhough they are aware of the risk of the burn out syndrom appearance in the departments of intensive care, they do not measure the appearance of this phenomen with the tools meant for it. Based on comparison of both research methods was proven, that 63 % of the respondents are...

Une analyse des liens franco-allemands dans le secteur de la sidérurgie, des années 1930 au début des années 1950, a été effectuée à partir d'archives publiques et privées, allemandes et françaises. A travers les stratégies privées des grandes entreprises et les politiques publiques des deux États, cette recherche a montré la mise en pratique du processus européen, appliqué à l'échelle sectorielle. Dans les années trente, les sidérurgistes français et allemands avaient contribué à la renaissance de l'Entente internationale de l'acier qui fut une réponse assez efficace à la crise. Le travail en commun qui s'en suivit fut l'occasion de liens qui dépassèrent les simples relations professionnelles car il mettait en contact des personnes issues des mêmes milieux sociaux, pourvues d'une culture européenne commune. La douloureuse période de la guerre ne fut pas une simple parenthèse et certaines relations professionnelles perdurèrent. La sidérurgie française paya un lourd tribut humain, car nombre de ses ouvriers travaillèrent en Allemagne, pour les grands Konzerne. Malgré ces blessures vives, dès 1946, du côté des sidérurgistes français, on envisage déjà la reconstitution d'un cartel européen de l'acier, à moyen terme. Des rencontres officielles entre les professionnels des deux pays ont lieu, à partir de 1948, en particulier dans le cadre de la Chambre de commerce internationale. Mais avec les crédits du plan Marshall et l'occupation alliée en Allemagne, les Américains jouent désormais un rôle majeur. Jean Monnet, partiellement sous cette influence, impose une interdiction totale des ententes et une organisation supranationale, la CECA. Les sidérurgistes des deux pays, par pragmatisme, vont accepter cette nouvelle donne. Les liens construits dans les années trente, les habitudes de travail à l'échelle européenne, permirent à ces industriels d'aborder cette nouvelle organisation sans trop de résistance.

The University Hospital of Liège has 955 beds in 8 intensive care units, 15 medical wards, 10 surgical wards and 1 paediatric ward. Approximately 36,000 patients are admitted each year, giving a total of 265,000 patient-days hospitalization. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (E-ESBL) constitute, along with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the main multi-resistant bacteria recovered in our hospital. The aims of the present study were to: - evaluate the epidemiology of E-ESBL - evaluate the impact of an infection control programme to reduce the spread of E-ESBL in the University Hospital of Liège. In order to do this, several studies were carried out between 2001 and 2007: 1. Determination of the high risk units in the CHU (2001) The high risk units were determined by comparing the incidence rates of each type of unit. Two types of high risk unit were identified in this way: the Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and the Onco-Haematology Unit. 2. Epidemiology of E-ESBL in the Onco-Haematology unit (2002-2003 and 2005-2006) Digestive tract colonization by E-ESBL was found to be relatively high (7.3%) and this explains the high incidence of E-ESBL in Onco-Haematology in comparison with the rest of the hospital. However, the clinical gravity associated with exposure to the risk factor (digestive tract colonization by E-ESBL) was found to be relatively weak. 3. Importance of digestive tract colonization by E-ESBL in General ICUs (2002-2003) Digestive tract colonization by E-ESBL was found to be relatively common (8.8%) and faecal carriage of E-ESBL was found to be a good marker for infection with E-ESBL at another body site. Even though the number of infected patients was found to be low, the risk of infection due to E-ESBL was multiplied by 14.7 in a group of digestive carriers of E-ESBL with regard to a group of non carriers. Our data also showed that Enterobacter aerogenes is the most frequent species producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and that TEM-24 is the most prevalent ESBL produced by E-ESBL species in our ICUs. No CTX-M-type genes were identified. With regard to antibiotic susceptibility, meropenem and cefepime appeared to be the most active agents against the majority of isolates. 4. Impact of an infection control programme to reduce the spread of E-ESBL (2006-2007) A surveillance programme was carried out to evaluate the implementation of infection control procedures including surveillance of ESBL-producing strains, utilization of computer alerts for E-ESBL positive patients and the application of contact precautions for colonized or infected patients. Infection control compliance observations were performed by trained referring nurses. During the 2 years of application, one or more E-ESBL were identified in 500 patients. A total of 2268 internal messages regarding the identification of E-ESBL were sent within the hospital, among which 91.84 % were received (at least 1 for every patient). An alert was associated with 406 patients, who were always hospitalized as the identification of the E-ESBL by the laboratory was obtained. A total of 257 registration forms were filled in by the referring nurses, resulting in a survey compliance of 63%. This survey showed that door signs identifying positive patients, hydro-alcoholic solution and gloves were present in 90% of the cases, but that gowns were only present in 59%. The overall incidence of nosocomial acquisition of E-ESBL between 2006 and 2007 was 0.92/1000 patient-days, more or less the same as in 2002. In relation to this research, several questions remain: - Even though the rates of digestive tract colonization with E-ESBL in the 2 types of high risk unit were found to be more or less the same (7.3 and 8.8%), the impact on infections due to E-ESBL was very different. - Are the infections due either to E-ESBL endogenous infections (owing notably to the use of broad spectrum antibiotics) or to secondary infections (resulting from cross-transmission) or to both? The implementation of an infection control programme to limit the spread of E-ESBL has been based on the limitation of the cross-transmission of these micro-organisms. An enhanced barrier precautions policy has been in place in our institution for 2 years, and we have seen no erosion in compliance. We should not however lose sight of the fact that, whatever the institutional policy for the management of multi-resistant bacteria, the correct application of standard precautions for all patients is the first measure to limit the cross-transmission of all micro-organisms.

Envisager un travail de recherche relatif à la valeur, à la formation et à la nature des grandeurs économiques peut sembler inopportun, tant les notions d’échange, de prix, de marché, et bien d’autres encore, tombent sous l’évidence de notre environnement quotidien. Nous montrons dans cette étude que nombre de concepts en économie ne reçoivent qu’une définition incertaine et parfois inconsistante. C’est à ce titre, le discours économique qui s’en trouve fragilisé, à tel point qu’il en vienne à se prononcer sur ce qui n’existe pas, et laisse échapper son objet véritable.Dans nos économies salariales, la valeur est tantôt reçue tantôt dépensée dans la formation et dans la destruction d’un revenu. Celui-ci est monétaire, et est objectif dans le sens où il confère un pouvoir ferme d’acquisition de biens et de services. Nous vérifions alors que l’objet de la science économique est le revenu, et que celui-ci unit les deux actes antagoniques de la production et de la consommation. Nous nous assurons par suite qu’il ne peut être pensé en termes « réels » ; la valeur n’est pas cachée derrière les choses. Dans un second temps, nous voyons que le revenu procède d’une mesure, et que c’est de cette mesure qu’il tire son objectivité. La mesure en économie est singulière, elle ne peut être empruntée au domaine de la physique. Elle est monétaire et réalisée dans le versement des salaires. À la lumière irremplaçable de la théorie des émissions de B. Schmitt, nous montrons que tout produit naît dans sa mesure en unités de salaires, et parvenons à une conclusion forte : la répartition révise l’émission du revenu sans réviser sa mesure. Nous sommes parvenus à une théorie cohérente et complète de la valeur. / To investigate on the question of the formation of the economic magnitudes, and on the question of value seems to be pointless, since those notions appear to be understood and to fall under the scope of our daily experiment. We show in the present work that several fundamental concepts and central notions do not receive a proper definition within our discipline. As a consequence, it is all the economic discourse that is weakened, at such a point that it talks about things that, actually, do not exist, but in the economist’s mind, and do not consider its true matter. In our wage economy, value is sometimes created sometimes destructed respectively in the formation and the destruction of income. The latter is an objective magnitude in the sense that it confers to its owner the tangible ability to buy goods and services. We thus make sure that income unifies the two opposite operations that are production and consumption, and that it is the true object of the economic science. We also insure that income is a monetary by naturee, and cannot be expressed in “real” terms; value is not hidden behind things. In a second time, we see that income is measured, and that its objectivity comes from the fact that it is measured. In economics, measure is specific since the unit of measurement is monetary and by no mean physical. The operation of measurement happens in the payment of wages to the benefit of the employees. By showing that product is “born” in the same operation by which it is measured, we are leading to a strong conclusion: all income is derived from wages.
