Du début de la Troisième République au lendemain de la Grande Guerre, environ 3 000 enfants sont abandonnés chaque année à Paris et recueillis par l’Assistance publique. Dans la très grande majorité des cas, les parents qui se séparent de leur progéniture sont des femmes seules. Délaissées du père de l’enfant, soucieuses de cacher leur faute à leurs propres parents ou sommées par ceux-ci de réparer le déshonneur que leur maternité hors-mariage inflige à la famille, les filles-mères sont les abandonneuses emblématiques. Leur histoire est celle de la misère féminine et de l’opprobre social qui s’abat sur la maternité solitaire. À la Belle Époque, l’Assistance publique de Paris s’efforce de faciliter les abandons et d’en garantir l’anonymat, afin de dissuader les femmes désireuses de dissimuler une grossesse honteuse de recourir à des pratiques criminelles, avortement ou infanticide. Quant aux rejetons de la misère, l’administration parisienne les accueille volontiers, avec l’ambition de les arracher définitivement au milieu corrupteur qui les a vu naître, et rêve de les régénérer moralement et physiquement. Si elle ne peut que blâmer les parents qui abdiquent leurs devoirs, elle comprend pourtant de mieux en mieux leur détresse matérielle, notamment à la faveur de la grande dépression économique de la fin du XIXe siècle, et, soutenue par l’État providence naissant, elle diversifie ses politiques de prévention du délaissement d’enfants. Si, à l’aube des années 1920, elle parvient ainsi à contenir tant bien que mal les abandons de la misère, elle peine en revanche à juguler les abandons de la faute. / From the beginning of the Third Republic to the days following the Great War, about 3,000 children were abandoned each year in Paris and taken in by the public care services (Assistance publique). In the vast majority of cases, the parents who gave up their off-spring were single mothers. Forsaken by the father of their child, they were keen on hiding their shame from their own parents or sternly ordered to redeem the dishonour their out-of-wedlock pregnancies had visited on their own families; unmarried mothers epitomized abandonment. Their stories are those of feminine misery and the social infamy attached to single motherhood. Throughout the Belle Epoque (1870-1914), the Assistance publique services strove to facilitate abandonments and to guarantee their anonymity in order to keep the women willing to hide their shameful pregnancies to resort to criminal practices (abortion or infanticide). As for the progeny of misery, the Parisian child welfare authorithy willingly took them in as a means to the avowed goal of removing them from the corrupting milieu where they were born; and with the express dream of regenerating them both morally and physically. The Assistance publique services could not but blame the parents who shirked their duties, still they took into better account their dire straits – especially during the great economic depression of the end of the 19th century – and, supported by the budding welfare state, they varied their policies towards the prevention of child-abandonment. If, at the dawn of the 1920s, they more or less managed to contain the numbers of misery-induced abandonments, they failed to curb those induced by guilt

L’adoption internationale en Colombie représente 14 % des adoptions françaises à l’étranger en 2011. Elle est un système de juxtaposition et d’imbrication d’acteurs et d’expériences de parenté. De par sa dimension transnationale, l’adoption lie des acteurs asymétriques avec pour extrémités les parents adoptants européens et la génitrice colombienne. Mais son inscription dans le contexte local de parenté colombienne révèle également l’importance d’un tissu relationnel dense et varié, constitué de divers transferts d’enfants en parallèle. Quant à son statut officiel et formel, il implique l’intervention de l’État dans la définition, la mise en forme et l’application de la pratique de l’adoption. Ainsi, ce travail est le fruit d’une ethnographie multi-située du système de l’adoption en Colombie avec un abord depuis les différentes positions possibles. L’objectif est alors d’interroger la logique de chaque acteur impliqué et les enjeux existants autour de l’enfant : comment l’acte de mise en adoption prend-il sens pour une mère, dont la grossesse n’est pas désirée ? Selon quels critères l’État définit-il l’adoptabilité d’un enfant ? Quelles sont les modalités d’implication de la famille d’accueil dans ce maternage transitoire ? Et enfin, de quelle manière les parents adoptants assument-ils leur rôle dans la (re)construction identitaire de l’enfant ? Regards, vécus, positionnements se rencontrent et s’articulent, témoignant souvent de rapports de pouvoir. L’adoption parle ainsi d’un exercice de contrôle sur la vie et les corps, mettant à jour une inter-sectionnalité de mécanismes de dominations (« postcoloniale », étatique, hétérosexuelle, voire raciale), repérée et analysée dans cette thèse. / International adoption in Colombia represents 14% of the French adoptions in 2011. It is a system of juxtaposition, imbrications of actors and experiences of kinship. From its transnational dimension, adoption links asymmetric actors both for the European adopting parents and for the Colombian mother, but its inscription within the local context of the Colombian kinship shows as well a dense and varied relationship tissue made from parallel children transfers. In terms of its official establishment, adoption implies the intervention of the State in its the definition, its inception, and its application. This work is the result of a multi-located ethnography within the Colombian adoption system studied from different possible points of view. Its objective is to question the logic of each one of the involved actors and the existing challenges surrounding the concerned children, such as: How does the adoption choice makes sense to the mother whose pregnancy is not desired? How does the government decide the adoptability of a child? How does the host family get involved in its temporary motherhood? And at last, in which ways the adopting parents play their role in the (re)construction of the children’s identity? Visions, vital experiences, and contentions meet and articulate, witnessing relationships of power. Adoption speaks of an exercise of control over life and bodies through an intersection of domination mechanisms (post-colonial government, heterosexual and even racial) which are referenced in this written work.

The main purpose of this study was to explore the needs of caregivers of abandoned children in the Waterberg District (Modimolle area), Limpopo Province. The objectives of the study were to investigate caregiving and abandoned children in South Africa through literature study and consultation with experts, to gather empirical data on the needs of caregivers of abandoned children and finally to make recommendations regarding the needs of caregivers of abandoned children to the Department of Health and Social Development for intervention programs in the Waterberg District of the Limpopo Province. The study was guided by a research question which was formulated as follows: What are the needs of caregivers of abandoned children? The qualitative research approach was used since the researcher aimed to explore the personal experience with regard to the needs of caregivers of abandoned children. The findings will be utilized to make practical recommendations for intervention programmes to the Department of Health and Social Development in the Waterberg District. The population for this study composed of caregivers of abandoned children in the Waterberg District, Modimolle area. Semi structured interviews was conducted with (10) caregivers. Data was analysed using the following steps: collecting and recording, managing, reading and memoing, describing, classifying, interpreting and visualizing.

Embora vários trabalhos publicados avaliem algumas técnicas e os potenciais problemas e riscos relacionados ao final da vida produtiva desses sistemas, as operações de descomissionamento são relativamente inovadoras, principalmente nos campos brasileiros, pois só agora a indústria nacional está começando a lidar com o final da vida produtiva de seus campos de exploração e produção de petróleo e gás. Primeiramente, esta dissertação compreende uma revisão sobre a experiência internacional sobre o processo de descomissionamento baseada, principalmente, nas regiões do Mar do Norte (Reino Unido e Noruega) e Golfo do México (EUA). Após, apresenta qual seria a metodologia para se obter a 'Melhor Opção Factível para o Descomissionamento'. Na seqüência, são apresentadas as principais etapas do processo de descomissionamento, descrevendo-as. Finalmente, são discutidas algumas inferências sobre aspectos ambientais e econômicos envolvidos no processo de descomissionamento. Em suma, a principal intenção desta dissertação é motivar um amplo debate das questões tratadas e, também apresentar algumas das novas tendências em relação ao descomissionamento de instalações offshore / Abstract: Decommissioning offshore installations have been progressively increasing the concern of the industry, government and other stakeholders through the last years. Although several works published address to some techniques and to potential problems and risks related to cessation of the productive life of these systems, its decommissioning operations are in some extent an innovative issue. This is especially true in Brazilian's fields, since national industry is just beginning to deal with the end of productive life of its exploration and production petroleum and gas fields. Firstly, the present dissertation comprehends a review of decommissioning offshore international experience mainly based on European (UK and Norway) and North American (Gulf of Mexico) scenarios. Then, it presents which may be the methodology to achieve the 'Best Practicable Decommissioning Option. Following, the paper references to the main stages of decommissioning process, describes them. Finally, it is discussed some inferences about environmental and economics aspects involved in decommissioning process. To sum up, the main ambition of this dissertation is to stimulate debate about the pertinent issues as well illustrate some of the new trends concerning decommissioning offshore installations / Mestrado / Exploração / Mestre em Ciências e Engenharia de Petróleo

In this article, the issue around abandonment in judicial proceedings (Procedural abandonment) related with the imprescriptible pretensions will be analyzed, with a special mention to those relative to the right to property. The issue discussed in the National Jurisdictional Plenary of Civil Law and Civil Procedure of 2016 will be criticized. The true issue to be solved is revealed, it’s the one related to the imprescriptible pretensions as case of inappropriateness of abandonment. It raises reasons that put in question the normative provision that links the procedural abandonment with those pretensions. Precisely because of the lack of strong arguments to justify the relation, a necessary legislative amendment is proposed. / En el presente artículo se analiza el problema del abandono en los procesos judiciales relacionados con las pretensiones imprescriptibles, con una especial mención de aquellas relativas al derecho de propiedad. Se critica la cuestión analizada en el Pleno Jurisdiccional Nacional Civil y Procesal Civil de 2016 sobre el particular. Se pone de manifiesto que la verdadera cuestión a resolverse es la referida a las pretensiones imprescriptibles como supuestos de improcedencia de abandono. Se expone razones que ponen en entredicho la disposición normativa que vincula el abandono procesal con dichas pretensiones. Justamente por la falta de argumentos fuertes que justifiquen tal relación, se propone (delege ferenda) su necesaria enmienda legislativa.

Amparo Davila's writing style is characterized by circumventing the boundaries between the real and the fantastic and between the known and the unknown. The author creates a narrative that evokes horror in the reader by mixing the uncanny of the unknown with the reality of the world. This study proposes that the sinister in Davila's stories are created by abandonment. This abandonment is the peremptory element of Davilian narrative and can be seen and examined throughout the author's literary work. The abandonment wields a mechanism of loneliness, madness, hopelessness and chaos that eventually provokes the sinister. The element of abandonment disturbs the main character of the story and makes him fall into an abyss from which he or she cannot escape. This abandonment is not always obvious, since most of the time the abandonment is veil by a halo of gothic and fantastic elements. The present thesis has the task of breaking down the different types of abandonment that are presented throughout this narrative, its sinister function and the theoretical and historical interpretation of the various abandonments both personal and collective that Amparo Davila presents. The route of abandonment proposed in this thesis is explained in the following three stories: "El desayuno" (1961), "La quinta de las celosías" (1959) and "La señorita Julia" (1959).

En av de naturtyper med flest antal växtarter i världen är hävdade gräsmarker som är präglade av traditionell skötsel. Denna naturtyp har minskat kraftigt i area och för att förhindra framtida artutdöenden är restaureringsåtgärder viktiga. Syftet med denna rapport var att med hjälp av vetenskapliga publikationer undersöka vilken effekt restaurering av före detta hävdade gräsmarker i norra och centrala Europa har på växtartrikedomen. Mer specifikt undersöktes effekten av olika restaureringsmetoder på totala antalet arter, arttätheten och artsammansättningen. Utöver detta undersöktes vilka faktorer som påverkar möjligheten till restaurering. Resultatet tyder på att restaurering med bete eller slåtter är mest framgångsrik av de olika undersökta metoderna. Restaurering med bete eller slåtter visade sig kunna ha en positiv effekt på totala antalet arter, arttätheten och artsammansättningen. Enbart rensning av träd och buskar var inte en långsiktigt hållbar metod för restaurering eller bevarandet av artrikedomen eller arter associerade med hävdade gräsmarker. Det finns många faktorer som påverkar möjligheten till restaurering och alla är inte entydiga. Något som kan vara intressant att vidare utforska är vilken betydelse de olika artrikedomsmåtten och artsammansättningen har för att kunna optimera restaureringsprojekt. Förutom att restaurering av hävdade gräsmarker både kan bidra till att utöka Natura 2000-nätverket och uppfylla de globala målen, ger det oss mängder med ekosystemtjänster och bevarande av kulturlandskap.

Religious disaffiliation among Millennials has increased significantly in the past decade alongside rapidly changing social relationships amplified by social media applications. In the United States, many Millennials claim no religious identity with many leaving their religion for a variety of reasons. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of religiously disaffiliated Millennials regarding their psychological health and well-being. Self-determination theory fulfilled the theoretical framework for examining the lived experiences of young adults regarding their well-being after religious disaffiliation. A purposive sample of 12 male and female religiously disaffiliated Millennials was recruited for semistructured interviews. Content analysis was used to code interviews, identify themes, and explore the lived experiences of disaffiliated young adults. Six themes emerged from the data analysis that included religious disaffiliates inherited their childhood religion; contradictory experiences highlighted a need to disaffiliate; after disaffiliation, individuals stopped attending the church with no other actions; after disaffiliation, participants appeared to be able to connect with their authentic self; participants had negative connotations of religion after disaffiliating; and families accepted disaffiliation after it occurred. The implications for social change include providing better understanding of the psychological health and well-being of Millennials who have disaffiliated, as well as demonstrating a need for future research that focuses on future generational cohorts and how religious organizations and churches are accounting for disaffiliation within their congregations.

This thesis analyzes behavior of customers on an e-commerce website in order to predict whether the customer is willing to buy something or is just window shopping. In addition the secondary model predicts, if the customer is going to leave the e-commerce website in next few clicks. To answer this questions different frameworks are tested. The base model used is the Logit model. The base model is compared with more sophisticated methods in machine learning - with neural networks. The best results were yielded by Recurrent neural network - the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The results of the analysis confirm importance of the click stream data and calculated features that track user behavior on the e-commerce website, type of the page (product, category, information), product variance and category variance. The thesis emphasizes practical implications of this models. Two possible practical implementations are presented. The models are tested in novel ways to see how would they perform if implemented on the real e-commerce website.
