The Boxall Profile (BP) aims at assessing the quality of adaptation of primary school pupils along with their particular difficulties of adaptation, in order to guide teacher interventions in classroom. At this time, the BP's psychometric proprieties have not been studied much. 169 boys and 23 girls ( N = 192) ranging from 6 to 13 years old (M = 9.24 years old, SD = 1.83) were assessed by their teacher using the French versions of the Boxall Profile, the Strenghts and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and the Teacher Report Form (TRF). Confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis (CFA/EFA) and area under receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were all performed. The results support the fit of the first level of factorial structure and a good concurrent validity. These results suggest the effectiveness of BP in properly identifying pupils in a problematic situation. However, one has to be cautious when it comes to interpreting given scale's scores to guide the intervention.

Muito se fala sobre o assunto, com a maioria concordando que é bom, porém pouca gente o aplica integralmente em suas práticas. Para isto, é necessário observar e refletir sobre os conceitos, as experiências já implantadas e analisar as crenças, teorias e conclusões de alguns estudiosos sobre esse assunto. Utilizou-se de pesquisa bibliografia para obter informações sobre experiências, pertinentes ao tema, desenvolvidas em vários países, incluindo o Brasil. Este trabalho foi embasado, também, em experiências reais, relativas ao diagnóstico, ao desenvolvimento e ao processo de avaliação, tendo como princípio norteador o conceito de competências, ou seja, a capacidade de mobilizar conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes para o desempenho eficiente de um trabalho. Sob a ótica da gestão da qualidade, as afirmações, deduções e conclusões tiveram como foco a sua aplicabilidade e possível contribuição para a condução dos processos organizacionais. A posição de alguns autores que têm uma visão diferente à filosofia da competência, inclusive a visão dos discordantes, contrapondo com a visão idealista daqueles que a defendem, foi outro importante elemento que reforçou a necessidade de aprofundamento nesse assunto. Acredita-se que os resultados deste trabalho sejam importantes para estudos sobre formação profissional e desenvolvimento de RH, assim como para o processo de gestão das empresas / Abstract: In this work it was looked to develop a study that allowed to get a clearer and realistic view on the subject competences. Much is said on the subject, with the majority agreeing that it is good, however little people integrally apply it in its practical. For this, it is necessary to observe and to reflect on the concepts, the experiences already implanted and to analyze the beliefs, theories and conclusions of some studious on this subject. Bibliography was used of research to get information on experiences, pertinent to the subject, developed in some countries, including Brazil. This work was based, also, in real experiences, relative the diagnostic, the development and the evaluation process, having as direction principle the concept of competences, or either, the capacity to mobilize knowledge, abilities and attitudes for the efficient performance of a work. Under the view of the quality management, the affirmations, the deductions and the conclusions had as focus its applicability and possible contribution for the conduction of the processes in the organizations. The position of some authors who have a different view to the philosophy of the competence, also the view of the opponents, opposing down the idealistic view of that they defend it, was another important element that confirmed the necessity of research in this subject. It is given credit that the results of this work are important for studies on professional formation and development of people, as well as for the process of companies management / Mestrado / Gestão da Qualidade Total / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

Nous construisons, pour les corps quadratiques imaginaires avec nombre de classes 1, un site arithmétique de type Connes-Consani. La principale difficulté ici est que les constructions de Connes et Consani et une partie de leurs résultats reposent sur la relation d'ordre naturellement présente sur les nombres réels qui est compatible avec les opérations arithmétiques basiques. Bien sûr rien de la sorte n'existe pas dans le cas des corps quadratiques imaginaires avec nombre de classes 1. Nous définissons ce que nous appelons le site arithmétique pour de tels corps de nombres, puis nous calculons les points de ces sites arithmétiques et nous les exprimons en termes de l'espace des classes d'adèles considéré par Connes pour donner une interprétation spectrale des zéros des fonctions L de Hecke. On obtient alors que pour un corps quadratique imaginaire avec nombre de classes 1, les points de notre site arithmétique sont reliés aux zéros de la fonction zêta de Dedekind du corps de nombres considéré et aux zéros de certaines fonctions L de Hecke. Nous étudions ensuite la relation entre le spectre de l'anneau des entiers du corps de nombres et le site arithmétique. Enfin nous construisons le carré du site arithmétique. / We construct, for imaginary quadratic number fields with class number 1, an arithmetic site of Connes-Consani type. The main difficulty here is that the constructions of Connes and Consani and part of their results strongly rely on the natural order existing on real numbers which is compatible with basic arithmetic operations. Of course nothing of this sort exists in the case of imaginary quadratic number fields with class number 1. We first define what we call arithmetic site for such number fields, we then calculate the points of those arithmetic sites and we express them in terms of the ad\`eles class space considered by Connes to give a spectral interpretation of zeroes of Hecke L functions of number fields. We get therefore that for a fixed imaginary quadratic number field with class number 1, that the points of our arithmetic site are related to the zeroes of the Dedekind zeta function of the number field considered and to the zeroes of some Hecke L functions. We then study the relation between the spectrum of the ring of integers of the number field and the arithmetic site. Finally we construct the square of the arithmetic site.

Le théâtre de Bulla Regia est un des mieux conservés de Tunisie. Malgré l'intérêt certain qu'il représente son étude nécessite de tenir compte du contexte monumental dans lequel il est apparu celui du secteur constitué par les deux "esplanades" situées au Sud et à l'Ouest. La première partie de la thèse est consacrée à l'étude du théâtre proprement dit. Elle se fonde sur l'ensemble des relevés des structures en place, la description des vestiges et l'étude des blocs épars. Le monument a été interprété et restitué par comparaison avec d'autres théâtres romains bien connus situés de façon préférentielle en Afrique. L'étude présente les dessins de restitution de l'édifice en plan, élévation et coupe, ainsi que sa modélisation informatique. La recherche a démontré que le monument a connu deux états successifs. C'est en effet à la suite d'une extension que sa façade est venue mordre sur la rue située au Nord. La seconde partie s'attache à l'étude du contexte monumental auquel le théâtre est lié. Elle commence par un chapitre technique qui définit les caractéristiques des murs numides par rapport aux murs romains. Il était fondamental de pouvoir restituer son évolution chronologique et principalement de distinguer les caractéristiques de son organisation à l'époque numide. L'étude des monuments s'est intéressée à tous les temples situés au sud du théâtre, avec leurs relevés, l'étude de leurs blocs épars et leur restitution architecturale. Pour la première fois a été proposée, sur des bases solides, la restitution d'un temple d'époque numide (le temple B).Dans la dernière partie ont été discutées les trois hypothèses possibles relatives à la fonction véritable du complexe monumental constitué par les deux esplanades et le théâtre. Il a été démontré qu'il ne pouvait s'agir d'un sanctuaire organisé autour d'un temple principal ni d'un grand gymnase de tradition grecque. La seule hypothèse satisfaisante est celle qui consiste à considérer que le premier état du complexe (à l'époque numide) aurait correspondu à un palais. Celui-ci aurait compris une partie résidentielle (autour de l'esplanade B) et une partie sacrée à laquelle le théâtre était lié (autour de l'esplanade A). Cette recherche nous éclaire sur la fonction et l'évolution d'une partie importante de la ville et révèle l'existence d'un programme architectural particulièrement rare en Afrique (une résidence royale numide). Cette thèse est celle d'un architecte dont le mérite est d'avoir réalisé pour la première fois un relevé très précis une description et une interprétation poussée de ce complexe. Elle soulève des questions soumises à la réflexion de la communauté scientifique qui devraient encourager la réalisation de sondages et de fouilles permettant de confirmer et de consolider l'hypothèse avancée. / The theatre of Bulla Regia is one of the best preserved in Tunisia. Its study needs to take in consideration the monumental context constituted by the two "esplanades" situated to the south and the west and linked to it. The first part of this study concerns the theatre itself. It includes the surveys of the structures, a precise description of the remains, and the registration of the scattered blocs. It concerns the functioning of the monument and its architectural restitution. The monument have been interpreted and restituted by comparison with other well-known roman theatres mainly situated in Africa. The study presents restitution drawings in plan, elevation and section and a computing model. It has demonstrated the existence of two successive states. The limits and the caracteristics of the two states have been studied. The superposition of the new façade of the theatre with the north street is the consequence of an extension of the building. The second part concerns the study of the monumental context linked to the theatre. It begins by a technical chapter giving a key for the interpretation of the whole sector. It gives a clear definition and the caracteristics of the numid walls by opposition to the roman ones. This is fundamental to restitute the chronological evolution of the complex. The study examines afterwards all the temples situated to the south: it gives a whole survey of the remains, a study of the scattered blocs and an architectural restitution for each monument. A relative dating of these monuments has been exposed. It also has been proposed the restitution of a numid temple (temple B) according to the study of its remains and their iconography (representations on coins). In the last part, have been discussed three possible hypotheses concerning the probable function of the monumental complex (a great sanctuary, a great gymnasium in the Greek tradition or to consider that the first state of the complex corresponded to a palace). The complex would have included a residential part (esplanade B) and a sacred one (esplanade A) including the theatre. The results of this research overcome largely the interest of a study limited to a theatre. They in light on the function and evolution of a major part of the city and reveal the existence of a program particularly scarce in Africa (a royal residence). The study gives an accurate survey of the monuments and a deep interpretation of this complex. It does arouse important questions worth to encourage the realization of excavations allowing confirming and consolidating the proposed hypothesis. Its underlines the major interest of this sector and can favor the initiatives that would help its preservation and presentation.

Dans une première partie de cette thèse, nous donnons des minorations universelles ne dépendant que de la dimension – explicites, de trois invariants globaux des quotients des espaces hyperboliques quaternioniques : leur rayon maximal, leur volume, ainsi que leur caractéristique d’Euler. Nous donnons également une majoration de leur constante de Margulis, montrant que celle-ci décroit au moins comme une puissance négative de la dimension. Dans une seconde partie, nous étudions un réseau remarquable des isométries du plan hyperbolique quaternionique, le groupe modulaire d’Hurwitz. Nous montrons en particulier qu’il est engendré par quatres éléments, et construisons un domaine fondamental pour le sous-groupe des isométries de ce réseau qui stabilisent un point à l’infini. / In the first part of this thesis, we derive explicit universal – that is, depending only on the dimension – lower bounds on three global invariants of quaternionic hyperbolic sapces : their maximal radius, their volume, and their Euler caracteristic. We also exhibit an upper bound on their Margulis constant, showing that this last quantity decreases at least like a negative power of the dimension. In the second part, we study a specific lattice of isometries of the quaternionic hyperbolic plane : the Hurwitz modular group. In particular, we show that this group is generated by four elements, and we construct a fundamental domain for the subgroup of isometries of this lattice stabilising a point on the boundary of the quaternionic hyperbolic plane.
