En octobre 2008, la France et le Québec ont signé une Entente en matière de reconnaissance mutuelle des qualifications professionnelles. Suite à cette entente, L’Ordre des arpenteurs-géomètres du Québec et l’Ordre des géomètres-experts de France ont signé en juin 2009 l’« Arrangement en vue de la reconnaissance mutuelle des qualifications professionnelles » (ARM) qui offre la possibilité aux géomètres-experts de pouvoir pratiquer leur profession au Québec et aux arpenteurs-géomètres, de pouvoir pratiquer en France. Dans le cas des géomètres-experts qui désirent obtenir leur droit de pratique au Québec, L’ARM stipule qu’ils devront accomplir des mesures de compensation telle qu’un stage d’adaptation incluant des modules de formation complémentaire. Il est spécifié aussi que les modules de formation doivent traiter des lois et règlements qui encadrent l’exercice de la profession d’arpenteur-géomètre ainsi que du droit civil, foncier, administratif et municipal québécois. Toutefois, l’ARM ne spécifie pas les éléments à inclure au sein des modules de formation. Une recherche a donc été menée afin d’identifier les différences substantielles pouvant exister entre la France et le Québec dans les domaines de l’expertise judiciaire, du bornage et des principes de délimitation de manière à cerner les éléments qui devraient être inclus au sein des modules de formation. / In October 2008, France and Quebec signed an Entente en matière de reconnaissance mutuelle des qualifications professionnelles. This agreement has since led to June 2009 signing of the Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs) for occupational qualifications between the Ordre des arpenteurs-géomètres du Québec and the Ordre des géomètres-experts de France. The MRAs provide the opportunity for French land surveyors to practice their profession in Quebec and for Quebec land surveyors, to practice in France. For the French land surveyors who wish to practice in Quebec, the MRAs state that they must complete compensation measures, such as an adaptation period, including complementary training modules. Training modules must hinge around the laws and regulations pertaining to the profession, together with the civil, land, administrative and municipal laws under which the profession operates in Quebec. However, the MRAs do not specify what should be included in training modules. A research was therefore carried out to identify the existing substantial differences between France and Quebec in the field of expertise, demarcation by private agreement or by judicial decision, and the principles governing land delimitation in order to establish what should be included in training modules

Socialinis darbas Lietuvoje yra pagalbos žmogui profesija, padedanti atstatyti santykius tarp asmens, šeimos, grupės ir visuomenės, kai klientai to padaryti nepajėgia. Socialinio darbuotojo klientu gali būti kiekvienas visuomenės narys, patekęs į sudėtingą gyvenimišką situaciją.

Numerous organizations have pressed in the past several years for improved security and privacy in online interactions. Stakeholders have encouraged the adoption of privacy-enhancing technologies, utilization of microcontrollers and hardware devices for key storage and attestation, and improvements to the methods and policies used for authentication. Cryptographers and security engineers have responded to these calls. There have been numerous papers published in the last decade on topics such as private information retrieval and anonymous authentication and the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) has released a version 2.0 standard for Trusted Platform Modules (TPM). Adoption and implementation of these techniques, however, has been lacking. Although the TPM 2.0 specification was released in 2014 there are no reference implementations of direct anonymous attestation algorithms compatible with the hardware. The purpose of this work is to implement and discuss the implementation of direct anonymous attestation on TPM 2.0 and to consider the scalability and performance of direct anonymous attestation schemes operating on real-world TPM devices. / Master of Science

Depuis le tournant du XXIe siècle, la publicité vit une importante transformation, dans laquelle les marques effacent de leur communication les signes à connotation marchande et contribuent, paradoxalement, à une marchandisation sans précédent de l’espace social. Dans cette démarche, on assiste à un discours publicitaire qui gomme ses promesses hyperboliques et essaie de se réconcilier avec les consommateurs, en mettant en scène de « vrais gens » et en intégrant leurs expressions singulières au sein de l’argumentation marchande. Envisager ce phénomène à partir de la notion de « témoignage » permet de concevoir une énonciation publicitaire à la première personne du singulier, basée sur un vécu présumé de l’énonciateur. Cet énonciateur atteste de son dire et, par conséquent, du discours marchand dans lequel il est impliqué ; il demande la croyance des allocutaires et les encourage à s’identifier au vécu rapporté. La publicité dite « testimoniale » dépasse cependant la simple fonction d’attestation. En effet, elle peut aussi faire l’éloge de valeurs, comporter un modèle d’exemplarité, susciter un questionnement éthique, en se mettant au service de la communication de marque dans toute sa dimension « dépublicitarisée ». Selon une approche pragmatique, ce travail s’appuie sur l’analyse des manifestations publicitaires diffusées en France, notamment entre les années 2005 et 2015, avec l’objectif de saisir les enjeux énonciatifs, sémiotiques et performatifs des formes testimoniales de la publicité contemporaine. Cette analyse confirme que c’est grâce à la relation évolutive entre les marques, leurs représentations et les consommateurs que surgissent de nouveaux usages de la publicité testimoniale et, plus encore, de nouvelles dynamiques de la communication marchande. / Since the beginning of the 21st century, advertising has undergone significant transformation, with brands removing commercial overtones from their communication and contributing, somewhat paradoxically, to the unprecedented commercialisation of social space. In the process, the advertising message is erasing extravagant promises and attempting to reconnect with consumers, by featuring “real people” and incorporating their personal expression into marketing arguments. Developing this phenomenon around the concept of testimony allows for the crafting of an advertising message in the first person singular, based on the supposed experience of the speaker. This speaker’s statement vouches for the sales pitch in which he is implicated; he asks his audience to believe him and encourages them to identify with the experience he is sharing. But so-called “testimonial” advertising goes beyond the mere role of attestation. Indeed, it can be used to conceal commercial interests of brand communication, by praising values, offering an exemplary model and stimulating ethical reflection. Based on a pragmatic approach, this study draws on an analysis of advertising in France, principally between 2005 and 2015, with the aim to understand the enonciative, semiotic and performative issues in testimonial forms of contemporary advertising. This analysis confirms that the evolutary relationship between brands, their representations and customers has lead to the emergence of new forms of testimonial advertising and, furthermore, to new dynamics in brand communication.

Matthew Scott Wireman, Ph.D. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2012 Chair: Dr. Stephen J. Wellum This dissertation examines the Protestant doctrine of Scripture's self-witness of divine authority. Chapter 1 examines the current evangelical milieu. The doctrine has become nearly obsolete in the discussion of systematic theology. Consequentially, wherein lies authority has been greatly misunderstood in Protestant circles. Chapter 2 surveys the doctrine through the history of the church. Particular note is made of Augustine, John Calvin, John Owen, and Herman Bavinck. This chapter evinces the near consensus of the church that the authority for the Church is found preeminently in the Scriptures. Chapter 3 summarizes post-conservative, Stanley J. Grenz and John R. Franke, attempts to ground theology in Scripture plus culture and tradition. This chapter does not offer a critique as much as it aims to represent post-conservatives in their own words. Chapter 4 looks at how the Old Testament viewed itself--particularly through the ministries of Moses and the prophets. YHWH chose representatives who would speak to the covenant community and write down the stipulations and history of YHWH's relationship with Israel for posterity. Chapter 5 looks at the New Testament, which follows the paradigm instituted by the Old Testament. In the person and work of Jesus Christ, God's promises find their fulfillment, which foments his commissioning of the Twelve Apostles to be his spokesmen. Chapter 6 ties together the threads that cohere in the two testaments of Scripture. It makes explicit the claims of Scripture that God is a se, he communicates with his creation, he uses spokesmen, and his written Word is its own witness for its authority. Chapter 7 defines the doctrine of Scripture's self-witness and applies it to tradition, culture, and the task of apologetics. The chapter explicates the thesis of the dissertation that Scripture's self-witness must be the ground of systematic theology.

What is forgetfulness? How does it show? Is it a part of memory or can it be considered on its own? In the philosophical discourse forgetfulness is limited and the phenomenon is mostly portrayed as a pathological or obscure counterpart of memory. This portraying of forgetfulness can be seen as traditional way of describing it, but there is some philosophers who has spoken of forgetfulness in more fruitful ways. These ways are not to be interpreted as aspirations to decouple forgetfulness from memory, rather they are to be seen as attempts to interpret this relation on another basis. This basis has also led this essay towards an interpretation of forgetfulness' relation to truth. The aim of this essay is thereby to examine forgetfulness as phenomenon and its relation to truth. To approach these subject-matters I've taken Paul Ricoeur's Memory, History, Forgetting and Martin Heidegger's Being and Time to my help. In Memory, History, Forgetting Ricoeur tries to portray forgetfulness as an essential part of human life that's not a deficiency, but nor is it intended to be seen as an incentive to forget. We are rather encouraged to remember, thereof his watchword “the obligation to remember” which is also linked to “the truth status of memory”. Heidegger too considers forgetfulness in Being and Time as an essential part of the human life, or as he writes, of everydayness. Remarkably, Heidegger's translations of the greek words lēthē and its privation alētheia are translatable by him as the words for forgetfulness (concealment) and truth (unconcealment). This opens up a view on forgetfulness and truth as radically different from Ricoeur's and thereof the traditional. The disparity between the two philosophers allows this relation to point beyond the two of them as a possibility and a necessity to make room for forgetfulness as a multifaceted phenomenon in the philosophical discourse.

Today's vehicles are controlled by several so called electronic control units (ECUs). ECUs can be seen as small computers that work together in order to perform a common task. They control everything from critical tasks such as engine control to less critical functionality such as window control. The most prominent trend that can be observed today is the development of self-driving functionality. Due to inherent complexity of self-driving functionality, ECUs are becoming more dependent on each other. A fundamental problem in today's vehicles is that there does not exist any efficient way of achieving trust in the vehicle's internal-network. How can ECUs be assured that the output of other ECUs can be trusted? If an ECU produces the wrong output when the vehicle is in autonomous mode it can lead to the vehicle performing unsafe actions and risking the lives of the passengers and driver. In this thesis we evaluate different already established firmware attestation solutions for achieving trust in a decentralized network. Furthermore, three new firmware attestation solutions specially tailored for the automotive domain are proposed. We demonstrate that all the found existing solutions have a fundamental flaw, they all have a single point of failure. Meaning that if you eliminate the correct node, the entire attestation process stops functioning. Thus, a new more robust solution specially tailored for the automotive domain needed to be developed. Three different consistency verification mechanisms were designed. One parallel solution, one serial solution and one merkle-tree solution. Two of the three proposed solutions, the parallel solution and serial solution, were implemented and assessed. Two tests were conducted, a detection performance test and a timing performance test. By assessing the detection performance test and timing performance test of the serial and parallel solutions, it was concluded that the parallel solution showed a significant improvement in both stability and performance over the serial solution.

Smartphones are becoming increasingly powerful and useful in a work environment. This has led to their adoption at the workplace. Many companies hand out smartphones to their employees and allow employees to bring their own devices to work. There are multiple potential vulnerabilities with such a situation. What happens if the device an employee uses to access secret company data with becomes infected by malware? Existing techniques such as remote attestation is widely used on desktop computers using a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to allow remote parties to determine the integrity of a computer. However, no smartphones come equipped with a TPM, resulting in the need of alternate solutions. This report proposes a remote attestation system for the Android platform that allows employers to detect compromised devices. Any modification to an application is detected and reliably reported to a remote party.
