Les outils du système d‘information sont un support aux activités des acteurs de l‘organisation. Les entreprises remplacent leurs outils par de nouveaux à la recherche de l‘amélioration de la performance, de la qualité, etc. Néanmoins, l‘implémentation d‘un nouvel outil numérique est un processus d‘adaptation mutuelle entre l‘organisation et la technologie, qui comporte des changements sur plusieurs dimensions et à différents niveaux de granularité. L‘objectif de nos travaux est de contribuer à accompagner ces changements dans le but de favoriser l‘innovation organisationnelle. Nous proposons d‘appréhender la diversité des évolutions dans l‘organisation et des adaptations de l‘outil à travers la diversité des transformations « potentielles » et « effectives » des usages. Afin d‘identifier la diversité des transformations « potentielles » des usages, nous proposons de comparer la diversité des usages « effectifs » de l‘outil « à remplacer » et « potentiels » de l‘outil « à introduire ». Une fois identifiées, les transformations « potentielles » peuvent être maitrisées à travers des décisions sur les usages à délaisser, à conserver, à adopter, jusqu‘à l‘émergence de nouveaux usages. C‘est la mise en oeuvre de ces transformations « effectives » qui implique des évolutions dans l‘organisation et/ou des adaptations de l‘outil. Nous définissons un modèle d‘usage pour tenir compte de la diversité des usages. A partir de ce modèle, nous définitions des méthodes d‘exploration graduelle de la diversité des usages et de la diversité des transformations des usages, orientées organisation ou outil. Nous illustrons l‘application des méthodes proposées à travers le cas d‘étude d‘informatisation du dossier de soins dans une structure d‘hospitalisation à domicile. / Information system tools provide support for the activities of actors in an organization. Companies replace their tools by new ones in search of performance or quality improvements, etc. However, the implementation of a new digital tool is a process of mutual adaptation between the organization and the technology, which involves changes on several dimensions and on different levels of granularity. The aim of our work is to contribute to manage these changes in order to encourage organizational innovation. We propose to grasp the diversity of evolutions in the organization and of adaptations in the tool through the diversity of ―potential‖ and ―effective‖ transformations in usages. In order to identify diversity of ―potential‖ usages, we propose to compare the diversity of ―effective‖ usages of the tool ―to replace‖ and of ―potential‖ usages of the tool ―to introduce‖. Once identified, the ―potential‖ transformations can be managed through decision making on usages to abandon, to keep, to adopt, to the emergence of new usages. It‘s the implementation of these ―effective‖ transformations that involves evolutions in the organization and adaptations of the tool. We set a usage model to consider the diversity of usages. From this model, we define methods for gradual exploration of the diversity of usages and of usage transformations, organization- and tool-oriented. We illustrate the application of methods proposed through the case study of computerization of the patient care record in a home care structure.

The topic of this thesis is "Psychosocial effects of the use of mobile phones in children under the age of 12 years." Children in connection with the use of mobile phones are more vulnerable compared to adults regarding the unwilling behavior. Czech public (neither lay nor professional) has not paid sufficient attention to this issue so far. The aim of this work was to monitor attitudes of children to mobile phones, the manner and extent of their use. At last but not at least, it was also the aim to describe the position of mobile service providers to child customers. There was also a market analysis carried out to describe offers, products and services suitable for children. The first part of this thesis describes the current situation in the Czech Republic and is complemented with statistical data of the numbers of mobile phones in the Czech Republic. There are also specifics of children as users of mobile phones mentioned and the risks that are connected to the use of mobile phones, such as reliance on mobile or nomophobia, fears of loss of signal etc. In the following chapters objectives of the research are described, hypotheses and research methodology. The results are shown in graphical form. They are followed by the results of market analysis and expert observations on the issue, the methodology and the research itself. The last part of this thesis is the discussion on the methodology and research results. Research results are also compared and discussed in relation to the literature.

With the emergence of the Internet and of the World Wide Web, the Web site has become a key communication channel in organizations. To satisfy the objectives of the Web site and of its target audience, adapting the Web site content to the users' expectations has become a major concern. In this context, Web usage mining, a relatively new research area, and Web analytics, a part of Web usage mining that has most emerged in the corporate world, offer many Web communication analysis techniques. These techniques include prediction of the user's behaviour within the site, comparison between expected and actual Web site usage, adjustment of the Web site with respect to the users' interests, and mining and analyzing Web usage data to discover interesting metrics and usage patterns. However, Web usage mining and Web analytics suffer from significant drawbacks when it comes to support the decision-making process at the higher levels in the organization.<p><p>Indeed, according to organizations theory, the higher levels in the organizations need summarized and conceptual information to take fast, high-level, and effective decisions. For Web sites, these levels include the organization managers and the Web site chief editors. At these levels, the results produced by Web analytics tools are mostly useless. Indeed, most of these results target Web designers and Web developers. Summary reports like the number of visitors and the number of page views can be of some interest to the organization manager but these results are poor. Finally, page-group and directory hits give the Web site chief editor conceptual results, but these are limited by several problems like page synonymy (several pages contain the same topic), page polysemy (a page contains several topics), page temporality, and page volatility.<p><p>Web usage mining research projects on their part have mostly left aside Web analytics and its limitations and have focused on other research paths. Examples of these paths are usage pattern analysis, personalization, system improvement, site structure modification, marketing business intelligence, and usage characterization. A potential contribution to Web analytics can be found in research about reverse clustering analysis, a technique based on self-organizing feature maps. This technique integrates Web usage mining and Web content mining in order to rank the Web site pages according to an original popularity score. However, the algorithm is not scalable and does not answer the page-polysemy, page-synonymy, page-temporality, and page-volatility problems. As a consequence, these approaches fail at delivering summarized and conceptual results. <p><p>An interesting attempt to obtain such results has been the Information Scent algorithm, which produces a list of term vectors representing the visitors' needs. These vectors provide a semantic representation of the visitors' needs and can be easily interpreted. Unfortunately, the results suffer from term polysemy and term synonymy, are visit-centric rather than site-centric, and are not scalable to produce. Finally, according to a recent survey, no Web usage mining research project has proposed a satisfying solution to provide site-wide summarized and conceptual audience metrics. <p><p>In this dissertation, we present our solution to answer the need for summarized and conceptual audience metrics in Web analytics. We first described several methods for mining the Web pages output by Web servers. These methods include content journaling, script parsing, server monitoring, network monitoring, and client-side mining. These techniques can be used alone or in combination to mine the Web pages output by any Web site. Then, the occurrences of taxonomy terms in these pages can be aggregated to provide concept-based audience metrics. To evaluate the results, we implement a prototype and run a number of test cases with real Web sites. <p><p>According to the first experiments with our prototype and SQL Server OLAP Analysis Service, concept-based metrics prove extremely summarized and much more intuitive than page-based metrics. As a consequence, concept-based metrics can be exploited at higher levels in the organization. For example, organization managers can redefine the organization strategy according to the visitors' interests. Concept-based metrics also give an intuitive view of the messages delivered through the Web site and allow to adapt the Web site communication to the organization objectives. The Web site chief editor on his part can interpret the metrics to redefine the publishing orders and redefine the sub-editors' writing tasks. As decisions at higher levels in the organization should be more effective, concept-based metrics should significantly contribute to Web usage mining and Web analytics. <p> / Doctorat en sciences appliquées / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Le cannabis est la substance illicite la plus consommée à l’adolescence et ce, mondialement. Nous savons qu’un usage problématique de cannabis est susceptible d’entraîner une multitude de conséquences sur les plans physiques, psychologiques, sociaux et économiques. Or, les consommateurs constituent un groupe au profil hétérogène et n’expérimenteront pas tous des problèmes significatifs reliés à cet usage. Il s’avère donc important d’identifier les usagers à risque élevé de conséquences et de spécifier la nature de ces problèmes afin d’intervenir de façon efficace auprès de cette clientèle. Pourtant, bien que la littérature scientifique soulève l’idée que certains types de consommateurs présentent davantage de risques, l’état des connaissances ne révèle que peu d’informations de nature empirique qui permettraient de distinguer des autres usagers les profils d’adolescents davantage à risque. À cet effet, les typologies disponibles à ce jour sont généralement théoriques ou limitées aux études cliniques, font référence à des problèmes particuliers ou se basent sur des indicateurs spécifiques de la consommation tels que la fréquence d’usage. De plus, aucune étude jusqu’à maintenant n’est en mesure de nous pister quant aux types de problèmes associés plus spécifiquement à certains profils de consommation ni de préciser quels profils sont davantage représentés pour des conséquences données. Cette étude est basée sur les classes latentes de consommation découvertes dans l’étude de Fallu, Brière et Janosz (2014) à partir de plusieurs caractéristiques de consommation et comparées sur plusieurs prédicteurs et problèmes associés à la consommation. Son échantillon est constitué de 1618 élèves consommateurs de cannabis en secondaire 4. Cette étude examine quels sont les problèmes attribués et non-attribués les plus fréquents pour chacune des classes. Elle examine également quelles sont les classes les plus représentées pour différents problèmes attribués et non-attribués. Enfin, elle compare les résultats obtenus pour les problèmes attribués et non-attribués. La stratégie analytique employée a consisté à conduire des analyses descriptives, des analyses de Chi carrés ainsi que des analyses de variance univariée, parfois suivies d’une analyse post-hoc. Les résultats ont démontré que la classe d’appartenance peut prédire la survenue des différents problèmes que rencontrent les jeunes consommateurs, que certaines classes sont plus représentées pour certains problèmes et que les adolescents aux profils les plus lourds sont à risque de sous-estimer certains problèmes liés à leur consommation. L’une des principales découvertes concerne les deux classes précoces. Il semble que la classe des consommateurs modérés précoces présente un profil de problèmes davantage intériorisé et la classe des polyconsommateurs lourds précoces, davantage extériorisé. Les implications de ces résultats sont finalement discutées. / Cannabis is the most widely used illicit substance among adolescents worldwide. We know that cannabis misuse is likely to cause a variety of effects at physical, psychological, social and economic levels. However, consumers are a heterogeneous group and not all will experience significant problems associated with such use. It is therefore important to identify high-risk users and to specify the nature of these problems in order to intervene effectively with this clientele. Yet, although the scientific literature raises the idea that certain types of consumers are at higher risk, the current state of knowledge reveals little empirical information that would distinguish adolescents with higher risk profiles. To this end, the typologies available today are generally limited to theoretical or clinical studies, refer to specific problems, or are based on specific consumption indicators such as frequency of use. Furthermore, no study has yet been able to reveal the types of problems associated specifically with certain consumer profiles or to specify which profiles are more prone to various consequences. The present study is based on a latent class consumption model developed from several consumer characteristics found in the study by Fallu, Briere and Janosz (2014). They were compared with several predictors and problems associated with the consumption. The sample comes from within the context of evaluation of the New Approaches New Solutions (NANS) dropout prevention program, and consists of 1618 students who used cannabis in 10th grade. The subjects were annually evaluated from the 7th grade until the 11th. This study examines which attributed and non-attributed problems are most common for each class. It also examines which classes are most frequently assigned to different attributed and non-attributed problems. Finally, it compares the results obtained for the attributed and non-attributed problems. The analytical strategy used was to conduct descriptive analysis, chi-square analysis and univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA), sometimes followed by post-hoc tests when relevant. The results show that the class can predict the occurrence of various problems that young people face, that some classes are more represented for some problems, and that teenagers with heavier profiles are at risk of underestimating certain problems associated with their consumption. One of the main findings regarding the two early classes. It seems that early-moderate use students have a more internalized problems profile and those with early-heavy and polydrug use, a more externalized problems profile. Finally, the implications of these results are discussed.

L'ingénierie des lignes de produits est une approche utilisée pour développer une famille de produits. Ces produits partagent un ensemble de points communs et un ensemble de points de variation. Aujourd'hui, la validation est une activité disjointe du processus de développement des lignes de produits. L'effort et les moyens fournis dans les campagnes de tests de chaque produit peuvent être optimisés dans un contexte plus global au niveau de la ligne de produits. Le model-based testing est une technique de génération automatique des cas de test à partir d'un modèle d'états et de transitions construit à partir des exigences fonctionnelles. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons une approche pour tester une ligne de produits logiciels avec le model-based testing. La première contribution consiste à établir un lien entre le modèle de variabilité et le modèle de test, à l'aide des exigences fonctionnelles. La deuxième contribution est un algorithme qui extrait automatiquement un modèle de test spécifique à un produit membre de la famille de produits sous test. L'approche est illustrée par une famille de produits de tableaux de bord d'automobiles et expérimentée par un industriel du domaine aéronautique dans le cadre du projet Européen MBAT. / Software product line engineering is an approach that supports developing products in family. These products are described by common and variable features. Currently, the validation activity is disjointed from the product lines development process. The effort and resources provided in the test campaigns for each product can be optimized in the context of product lines. Model-based testing is a technique for automatically generating a suite of test cases from requirements. In this thesis report, we present an approach to test a software product line with model-based testing. This technique is based on an algorithm that establishes the relationship between the variability model released with OVM and the test model, using traceability of functional requirements present in both formalisms. Our contribution is an algorithm that automatically extracts a product test model. It is illustrated with a real industrial case of automotive dashboards and experimented by an industrial of aeronautic domain in the MBAT European project context.

La présente thèse porte sur la question de l’intelligibilité de la traduction juridique pour un praticien du droit. Notre hypothèse de travail consiste à dire que l’échec de la traduction juridique s’explique par l’absence de pertinence de la traduction pour son utilisateur. Pour éclairer cet aspect, une approche interdisciplinaire est adoptée. Méthodologiquement, nous partons de la critique de la notion d’équivalence et de la conception de la traduction comme recherche d’équivalents. Notre état de l’art se déploie en trois volets. Le premier volet traite de la théorie de la pertinence de Sperber et Wilson. Le second volet expose le traitement de la notion de pertinence en sciences de l’information. Le troisième volet présente la théorie de la pertinence et la théorie des connaissances élaborées par le sociologue Alfred Schütz Notre corpus d’étude comporte 145 bitextes allemand-français servant de base à des analyses contrastives. Dans la dernière partie, nous proposons une définition de la notion de pertinence et de ses conditions en traduction. Enfin, une méthode pratique de traduction fondée sur les notions de pertinence et d’usage est esquissée. / This thesis deals with the question of the intelligibility of legal translation for a legal practitioner. Our working hypothesis is that the failure of the legal translation is explained by the lack of relevance of the translation for its user. To shed light on this aspect, an interdisciplinary approach is adopted. Methodologically, we start from the criticism of the notion of equivalence and the conception of translation as a search for equivalents. Our state of the art is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the relevance theory of Sperber and Wilson. The second part describes the treatment of relevance in information science. The third part presents the theory of relevance and the theory of knowledge developed by sociologist Alfred Schütz. Our corpus includes 145 French-German texts used as a basis for contrasts analyses. In the personal contribution, we propose a definition of relevance and its conditions in translation. Finally, a practical method of translation based on the notions of relevance and usage is outlined.

Dagens applikationer hanterar mer och mer data vilket resulterar i att de blir allt mer resurskrävande och kräver mer av hårdvaran. Vilket i förlängningen kan innebär att hårdvaran måste bytas ut med jämna mellanrum för att kunna köra mjukvaran på ett för användaren tillfredsställande sätt. Detta arbete undersöker om det genom att byta designteknik är möjligt att utveckla mindre resurskrävande applikationer. Arbetet presenterar en jämförelse mellan objektorienterad design (även kallad objektorienterad programmering, OOP) och data orienterad design (DOD). Detta genom att dels ta upp kända för- och nackdelar med respektive designteknik samt genom att utföra en mätning på respektive teknik. Det som anses vara de främsta fördelarna med OOP är återanvändning av kod, att koden är lätt att underhålla, säkerhet i form av inkapsling samt att objekten som används reflekterar den mänskliga verkligheten. Dessa fördelar är dock även något som bidrar till det som anses vara den främsta nackdelen med OOP, nämligen att den är prestandakrävande. När det gäller DOD så anses de främsta fördelarna vara att det medför en cachevänligare kod som leder till färre cachemissar. Det anses även vara lättare att parallellisera koden i jämförelse med OOP. Den nackdelen som tas upp med DOD är att de tar tid att lära sig och kräver en del övning. Dock är DOD väldigt okänt vilket resulterade i ett svagt underlag. Två simuleringar utvecklades i Unity varav den ena använder sig av den nya teknikstacken DOTS som är dataorienterad. Resultatet av mätningarna indikerar på att DOD använder mindre av hårdvaruresurserna vid prestandakrävande applikationer. Om applikationen ej är prestandakrävande märks dock ingen skillnad mellan de olika teknikerna vid fråga om processoranvändning. / Today, applications handle more and more data, which results in them becoming increasingly resource-intensive and requiring more of the hardware. Which in the long run may cause that the hardware must be replaced at regular intervals to be able to run the software in a way that is satisfactory for the user. This thesis investigates whether it is possible to get less resource-intensive applications by changing the design technology. The paper presents a comparison between object-oriented design (also known as object-oriented programming, OOP) and data-oriented design (DOD). This is performed by addressing the known advantages and disadvantages of each design technique and by measuring each technique in the matter of performance. What was considered to be the main advantages of OOP is the reuse of code, that the code is easy to maintain, security in the form of encapsulation and that the objects that are used reflect human reality. On the other hand, these advantages also contribute to what is considered to be the main disadvantage of OOP, namely that it is performance-intensive. When it comes to DOD, the main advantages are considered to be that it results in a more cache-friendly code that leads to fewer cache misses. DOD is also considered easier to parallelize the code compared to OOP. The disadvantage of DOD is that it is time consuming to learn and requires some practice. Though, DOD is very unknown which resulted in a narrow basis. Two simulations were developed in Unity, one of which uses the new technology stack DOTS, which is data-oriented. The results of the measurements indicate that DOD uses less of the hardware resources in performance-intensive applications. If the application is not performance-intensive, though, no difference is noticed between the different technologies when it comes to CPU-usage.

La place prise par le smartphone dans la vie des consommateurs ne cesse d’augmenter avec des usages en mobilité qui s’installent durablement au quotidien. Doté de ce pouvoir technologique et décisionnaire, le consommateur modifie son comportement d’achat. L’objectif de notre recherche est d’analyser l’impact des usages du smartphone sur les comportements de magasinage afin de comprendre quels sont les déterminants de la mobilité et de l’usage de la technologie qui jouent un rôle sur les parcours d’achat. La problématique est centrée sur l’analyse du processus d’achat dans sa globalité tout en gardant une approche moins monolithique. Notre recherche est empirique, fondée sur une double étude qualitative : une première étude où nous interrogeons les consommateurs sur leurs pratiques quotidiennes du smartphone et sur leurs expériences d’achats hybrides influencées par cet outil technologique ; une seconde étude où nous interrogeons des clientes juste après une expérience d’achat vécue dans un point de vente d’une enseigne multicanal de la chaussure. Un premier palier de résultats apporte une meilleure compréhension des usages du smartphone (sur les critères de fréquence et d’intensité d’usage) qui s’inscrivent définitivement dans la continuité du changement « mobiquitaire » des usagers. Un second palier de résultats montre le lien entre ces pratiques et la praxéologie du processus d’achat qui sous l’influence du smartphone devient plus rationnel et plus efficace. Néanmoins, l’expérience d’achat vécue en point de vente, telle que nous l’avons étudiée pour un produit particulier, atteste que le magasin doit garder sa singularité. Il doit remplir des fonctions multimodales : des fonctions de commercialité traditionnelles en lien avec un processus d’achat initié sur internet et des fonctions sensorielles et émotionnelles qui renforcent une expérience favorisant les achats d’impulsion et évitant une logique trop rationnelle. Nous proposons aux managers des enseignes des pistes d’amélioration pour adapter leur modèle de distribution et revisiter le rôle alloué à leurs points de vente physiques. / The role of the smartphone in consumers’ life is constantly developing with their increasing mobility. Endowed with this technological and decision-making power, consumers modify their buying behavior. The objective of our research is to analyze the impact of smartphone uses on shopping behavior in order to understand the determinants of mobility and the use of technology that play a role in shopping trips. The problem focuses on an analysis of the shopping process as a whole while keeping a less monolithic. Our research is empirical, based on a two qualitative studies: in a first study, we question consumers on their daily smartphone practices and on their hybrid shopping experiences influenced by this technological device; in a second study, we interview clients after a shopping experience in a shoe store of a multichannel retail chain. A first level of results brings a better understanding of smartphone uses (based on the criteria of frequency and intensity of use) that definitely fit in the continuity of “mobiquity”. A second level of results shows the link between these practices and the praxeology of the shopping process that becomes more rational and efficient under smartphone influence. Nevertheless, the shopping experience at the point of sale, studied here for a particular product, attests that the store must keep its singularity. It has to fulfill multimodal functions: traditional commercial functions in connection with a process initiated on the internet and sensory and emotional functions that reinforce impulse buying and avoid too rational logic. We propose to the retail managers to adapt their retail model and to revisit the role allocated to their physical points of sale.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the nature of code switching between Tamazight and Arabic in light of Myers-Scotton's Matrix Frame Model (MLF) (Myers- Scotton, 1993), and the 4-M model of code switching (Myers-Scotton & Jake, 2000). Data come from the very first Libyan Tamazight news broadcast in Libya on May 2, 2011, during the uprising against the Gaddafi regime. I analyzed the broadcast in an attempt to understand the nature and implications of the switching between the two languages in the utterances of the speakers in the video. I also argued that in many ways what many might think of as code switching is actually borrowing. During the Gaddafi era, the government banned the use of Tamazight in formal settings such as the media, work place, and schools. Since the fall of Gaddafi and his regime, the Imazighen (or Berbers) in Libya have sought to present themselves, their language, and their culture as an important part of Libyan culture. Libya's Imazighen are bilingual speakers, a fact that set up the conditions for the switching between Tamazight and Arabic analyzed in this study. Their bilingualism, along with Libyan language policies under Gaddafi, help account for the nature of code switching in the data. This study documents contact phenomena among different languages in Libya. It also facilitates understanding of some of the sociolinguistic changes occurring there as a result of the political changes in the wake of so-called "Arab Spring."
