La réactualisation des collections fermées, études de cas : le Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, le Kettle's Yard Museum & Gallery et la New Art Gallery Walsall

Lebeau, Justine 10 1900 (has links) (PDF)
Ce mémoire fait l'analyse du phénomène de réactualisation des collections fermées et de ses stratégies en se basant sur trois études de cas : le Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, le Kettle's Yard Museum & Gallery et la New Art Gallery Walsall. Restreintes par des législations, ces institutions ont développé différentes stratégies leur permettant de réinscrire le contenu de leurs collections fermées à l'intérieur d'enjeux actuels. Dans un premier temps, de la présentation de nos trois études de cas sont apparues des caractéristiques que nous avons réunies pour exposer l'idée de collection fermée et souligner sa valeur esthétique, historique et artistique : les restrictions testamentaires, la vision du collectionneur, l'expérience du visiteur, le type d'accrochage et la mise en exposition des œuvres et des objets. Ces caractéristiques nous ont permis de cerner le contexte à l'intérieur duquel les conservateurs, les directeurs et les commissaires d'exposition interviennent pour réactualiser les paramètres temporels, narratifs et spatiaux de la collection fermée. L'idée de collection fermée est également développée à l'aide de propositions connexes provenant de 1'histoire de l'art et de la culture. Dans un deuxième temps, quatre des principales stratégies de réactualisation ont été dégagées de nos trois cas de figure : la construction d'une nouvelle architecture basée sur la collection fermée, la mise en place de programmes d'artistes en résidence, la création de programmes d'expositions temporaires et l'accumulation d'œuvres à l'intérieur d'une collection parallèle. Ces stratégies permettent une ouverture et une réorganisation des paramètres narratifs, spatiaux et temporels de la collection fermée à partir du présent actuel tout en respectant les restrictions protégeant son intégralité. L'analyse de ces stratégies permet non seulement de marquer les paramètres de la collection fermée sur lesquels la réactualisation s'opère, mais également de mettre en évidence les valeurs esthétiques et conceptuelles des projets d'artistes, architecturaux, d'exposition et de collection menés autour de la collection fermée. Dans un troisième temps, nous avons questionné la constitution et le fonctionnement temporel de la collection fermée et du phénomène de réactualisation pour pointer les changements qui s'opèrent dans le temps sur la collection fermée. De sa constitution par le collectionneur à sa relecture à partir des interventions du présent en passant par son legs restrictif, la collection fermée subit des changements malgré l'immobilité de sa mise en exposition. Enfin, notre recherche ouvre sur de nouvelles hypothèses. La réactualisation serait rendue possible à l'heure actuelle en relation avec une nouvelle conception de l'histoire basée sur une vision anachronique du temps. Cette vision anachronique et son potentiel pour la discipline de l'histoire de l'art développés par Georges Didi-Huberman (2000) nous ont permis d'explorer le phénomène de réactualisation non seulement dans la gestion muséologique des collections qu'il implique, mais également d'en traiter par rapport à la constitution de l'histoire de l'art et du rapport instauré avec le passé. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Collection fermée, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Kettle's Yard Museum & Gallery, New Art Gallery Walsall, réactualisation, exposition

Diffuser les collections photographiques sur le Web : de nouvelles pratiques de médiation? : étude des formes et stratégies de communication du patrimoine photographique en ligne

Casemajor Loustau, Nathalie January 2009 (has links) (PDF)
Le développement de l'Internet et des techniques de numérisation ont offert aux institutions patrimoniales un nouvel outil pour diffuser leurs collections. Médium visuel bien connu et apprécié du public, la photographie semble particulièrement adaptée à la présentation sur le Web. Nous proposons dans cette thèse une analyse des formes et des stratégies de médiation en ligne des fonds photographiques de la Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine et de Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. L'enquête que nous avons menée visait à répondre à la question suivante: l'arrivée du Web se traduit-elle par de nouveaux modes de valorisation des fonds photographiques patrimoniaux ? Nous avons dégagé deux axes d'analyse: l'un diachronique, identifiant les principales étapes de création du dispositif en ligne, et l'autre transversal, interrogeant d'une part la construction d'un cadre de représentation, de circulation et d'interprétation du patrimoine et examinant d'autre part l'inscription des objets patrimoniaux et des acteurs dans un jeu de relations sociales. Les résultats de l'analyse montrent que: (1) la matérialité numérique, la circulation hypertextuelle et l'agrégation des données introduisent de nouvelles conditions de transmission patrimoniale; (2) mais du point de vue de l'interaction entre institutions, publics et objets, le Web (et en particulier le Web 2.0) tend à prolonger des évolutions déjà à l'oeuvre dans le champ patrimonial et culturel (participation des publics, démarche citoyenne d'appropriation, réduction de la frontière entre producteurs et utilisateurs). En définitive, il apparaît que l'évolution des pratiques de médiation est moins liée à la nouveauté technique de l'outil communication qu'à la manière de concevoir le projet de communication (représentations du patrimoine, du médium photographique, du public et du geste de médiation lui-même). ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Internet, Photographie, Patrimoine, Médiation, Medium, Media.

Återvinningsstationer på Lidingö : attityder och lokalisering

Rahm, Johanna January 2006 (has links)
When the producers’ responsibility for packaging was introduced in Sweden in 1994 the industry set up public recycling stations to facilitate the collection of the waste material. In order to establish recycling stations at suitable locations the municipalities assist the industry’s service organization for operation of the recycling stations, the Package and Newspaper Collection Service (Förpacknings- och tidningsinsamlingen, FTI). The objectives of this thesis are to improve the service of the public recycling stations within Lidingö town and to increase the accessibility to these stations for the inhabitants of Lidingö. The Municipal authority of Lidingö in consultations with the FTI will use the collected information on the attitudes of the inhabitants in order to bring the recycling system into line with the opinions of the inhabitants. The information on the attitudes of the inhabitants towards the public recycling stations has been collected through an opinion poll. About half of those asked are living in blocks of flats while half are living in self-contained houses. In order to secure the differences in attitudes between different forms of living, sex, and age, hypotheses tests were conducted on selected parts of the collected material. New locations for public recycling stations have been suggested and assessed on the basis of accessibility, the risk of littering, the level of noise, the traffic situation, existing hard surfaces and property ownership. The inhabitants of Lidingö want the public recycling stations to be located near their homes, near main roads or near shops in order to be accessible. Car is the main means of transport to the recycling stations. Women and people living in blocks of flats walk to the recycling station to a greater extent than men and those living in self-contained houses. The recycling stations ought to be asphalted and well-lit in order to decrease the risk of littering. Many inhabitants of Lidingö, living in areas where the population density is high, lack access to public recycling stations within walking distance. New recycling stations should preferably be located in these housing areas. Ten new suggested locations will, if they are adopted, increase the number of inhabitants living within walking distance of a recycling station. / Då producentansvaret för förpackningar infördes 1994 valde näringslivet att lösa insamlingen av förpackningar genom att sätta upp återvinningsstationer till vilka hushållen kan lämna det utsorterade materialet. För att göra det möjligt att placera ut återvinningsstationer på lämpliga platser bistår kommunerna näringslivets serviceorganisation, Förpacknings- och tidningsinsamlingen, med lokaliseringsförslag. För att anpassa insamlingssystemet till lokala förhållanden är Förpacknings- och tidningsinsamlingen ålagd att samråda med kommunerna. Examensarbetet syftar till att förbättra servicen på återvinningsstationerna på Lidingö och öka tillgängligheten för kommuninvånarna. Informationen om lidingöbornas attityder ska användas vid samråd mellan kommunen och Förpacknings- och tidningsinsamlingen för att anpassa insamlingssystemet efter kommuninvånarnas önskemål. Genom en postal enkätundersökning har lidingöbornas attityder till återvinningsstationerna´utretts. Hälften av de tillfrågade bodde i flerfamiljshus medan den andra hälften bodde i småhus. För att säkerställa skillnader i attityder mellan olika boendeformer, kön och åldrar utfördes hypotesprövningar på utvalda delar av materialet. Platser för nya återvinningsstationer har tagits fram och bedömts utifrån tillgänglighet, risk för nedskräpning, bullerstörning, trafiksituation, markägarförhållanden samt befintliga hårdytor och tillfartsvägar. Lidingöborna vill att återvinningsstationer ska placeras i närheten av hemmet, större bilvägar eller i anslutning till affärer för att vara lättillgängliga. Det huvudsakliga transportmedlet till återvinningsstationen är bil. Kvinnor och boende i flerbostadshus tar sig i större utsträckning till fots till återvinningsstationen samt anser i högre grad att återvinningsstationerna ska ligga i närheten av hemmet än vad män och boende i småhus gör. Återvinningsstationerna bör vara asfalterade och välupplysta för att minska risken för nedskräpning. Stora områden på Lidingö med hög befolkningstäthet saknar helt tillgång till återvinningsstationer inom gångavstånd. I dessa bostadsområden bör nya återvinningsstationer prioriteras. Tio lämpliga platser för nya återvinningsstationer har lokaliserats vilka, om de upprättas, ökar andelen lidingöbor som har möjlighet att ta sig till fots till återvinningsstationen.

Flygplansavisningens miljöpåverkan vid svenska flygplatser / The environmental Impact of Aircraft De-icing at Swedish Airports

Marklund, Lars January 2004 (has links)
The aim of this thesis was to answer a number of questions about the environmental consequences of aircraft de-icing. A further aim was to suggest how the environmental consequences due to the release of de-icing fluids can be measured and reduced. The main impact of the aircraft de-icing on the environment is due to the large oxygen demand for the degradation of glycol based de-icing fluids which are released in the environment. The effect of the increase in oxygen demand depends on where the degradation occurs in the ecosystem. In a sensitive ecosystem, the large demand of oxygen could provide an anaerobic environment which would be harmful for many types of organisms. In order to reduce the negative effects of the applied de-icing fluid, there is some type of collection system at every regular airport in Sweden. The methods of collection can be divided into two general groups, hydrological isolation or vacuum sweeper trucks. When the area used for hydrological isolation is relatively small it is called a central de-icing pad. This thesis investigates which methods are being used at 16 of the Swedish airports with the most intense de-icing activity. Of all of these airports, only one does not use vacuum sweeper trucks. Six of the airports use central de-icing pads and five use hydrological isolation of a larger area. The investigation of the efficiency of each method showed no significant differences. This is due to the lack of accurate measurements and that different measurement methods are employed at different airports. This thesis also examines which methods for measuring the efficiency are being used, their weaknesses and what alternatives methods are available. Suggestions are also given to minimize the environmental consequences of aircraft de-icing, taken into account both leakage of the de-icing fluid and its judicious use. The case study of Stockholm-Bromma Airport includes a more detailed investigation of the de-icing activities and a rough mass balance is established. The aim of establisheing the mass balance is to determine the extent of collection of the de-icing fluids, their runoff to the storm water system or arrival at a diffuse sink. The results show that even if the collection is low, only a small part of the de-icing fluids reaches the storm water system. A relatively large part goes to the diffuse sinks where the de-icing fluids degrade on the soil surface or percolate into the soil. In the case study there is also an investigation of the probable impacts on the surrounding environment due to aircraft de-icing at Stockholm-Bromma Airport and suggestions are made how to reduce the impact. / Det primära syftet med examensarbetet har varit att besvara ett antal frågeställningar om flygplansavisningens miljöpåverkan. Frågeställningar som behandlar hur flygplansavisningens miljöpåverkan kan uppskattas/mätas samt reduceras. Den miljöpåverkan flygplansavisningen ger upphov till består främst av den syreförbrukning som orsakas vid nedbrytningen av den använda, glykolbaserade avisningsvätskan. Hur stor denna miljöbelastning blir beror till stor del av var nedbrytningen äger rum. I känsliga ekosystem ger syreförbrukningen upphov till syrefattiga miljöer vilket många organismer missgynnas av. För att reducera de negativa effekter som använd avisningsvätska kan ge upphov till sker på alla svenska reguljära flygplatser ett tillvaratagande av den använda avisningsvätskan. Uppsamlingsmetoderna som används kan uppdelas i två huvudprinciper. Den ena är att området där avisning sker begränsas hydrologiskt och den andra metoden är uppsamling med ”vakuum-sugbil”. Den hydrologiska avgränsningen kan göras för ett mindre område och benämns då som en stationär avisningsyta. Examensarbetet utreder vilka uppsamlingsmetoder för avisningsvätska som används på 16 av de svenska flygplatserna med mest avisningsaktivitet. Vid de undersökta flygplatserna används ”vakuum-sugbil” på alla utom en. På sex av flygplatserna används stationära avisningsplatser och större avgränsade områden för uppsamling finns vid fem flygplatser. Ingen signifikant skillnad i effektivitet (uppsamlingsgrad) kunde påvisas mellan de olika uppsamlingsmetoderna. Anledningen till detta kan ligga i att mätmetoderna skiljer sig mellan de olika flygplatserna och att det är mycket svårt att mäta eller uppskatta effektiviteten. Examensarbetet utreder även vilka mätmetoder som används, deras svagheter samt alternativ till dessa. Förslag ges även till allmänna åtgärder för att minimera flygplansavisningens miljöpåverkan ur såväl utsläppssynpunkt som för resursåtgång. En fallstudie av Stockholm-Bromma flygplats ger en betydligt djupare utredning än för övriga flygplatser och en grov massbalans upprättas för den använda glykolen. Massbalansen upprättas för man ska kunna avgöra hur stora mängder av den använda avisningsvätskan som samlas upp, lämnar flygplatsen via dagvattennätet eller når diffusa sänkor. Resultaten visar att även om uppsamlingsgraden är liten är belastningen på dagvattennätet ringa. En stor andel når de s.k. diffusa sänkorna och bryts ner på markytan eller perkolerar ner genom marken. I fallstudien utreds även den troliga påverkan på vattenrecipienter och omkringliggande närmiljö. Förslag ges även på hur man på bästa sätt skall reducera den miljöpåverkan som den använda avisningsvätskan ger upphov till.

Implementation of Collection Tree Protocol over WirelessHART Data-Link

Koneri, Kiran Kumar January 2011 (has links)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are ad-hoc wireless networks for small form-factor embedded nodes with limited memory, processing and energy resources. Certain applications, like industrial automation and real-time process monitoring requires time synchronized reliable network protocol. Current work for WSNs provides either time synchronized with low reliability (WirelessHART) or reliable network without time synchronization (Collection Tree Protocol). The Collection Tree Protocol (CTP) provides the reliability from 94.7% to 99.9% for CSMA-CA based MAC layer. This paper addresses channel hopping, a class of frequency diverse communication protocol in which subsequent packets are sent over different frequency channels. Channel hopping combats external interference and persistent multipath fading, two of the main causes of failure along a communication link. Channel hopping technique leads to a high reliable and efficient protocol which is specified by HART Communication Foundation and named as WirelessHART. WirelessHART Data-Link layer designed based on TDMA and CSMA-CA mechanism. By implementing the CTP over WirelessHART Data-Link layer, the reliability of the network protocol can be improved compare to actual CTP standard implementation. This thesis describes the design and implementation of Collection Tree Protocol over WirelessHART Data-Link layer. The implementation is done using TinyOS, nesC programming language using Crossbow TelosB CC2420 radio chip nodes. The results and experiments show the evaluation of the system prototype.

Wast Management System for Western Africa : Analysis of systemssuccessfully applied in the world that may fit the reality faced in Western Africa

Adamoski, Michele January 2011 (has links)
Health and safety have been the most important concerns in waste management formany years. However, nowadays society demands that as well as being safe, waste managementmust also be sustainable. The management of a sustainable Municipal Solid Waste is anecessary but not-prioritized aspect of environmental management in most countries with lowand middle income.This study purposes an analysis of technologies, in order to select the best and mostsuitable practices in Sustainable Waste Management Systems already applied or in advancedlevel of research in developed and developing countries. The target countries for receiving thisstudy of waste system are located in Western Africa: Ghana, Côte d‟Ivoire, Senegal andNigeria.The analysis of collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste, with focus onorganic matter, was presented in two groups. The first group, “collection and transportation”was analysed with attention to aspects and stakeholders presented in the Integrated SustainableWaste Management framework. In the second group, “treatment and disposal”, each technologywas analysed based on aspects of sustainable development. The decision-support software Web-HIPRE was also used to frame the final rank of solutions for the African scenario.The conclusions for those analyses were that the creation of micro and small enterprisesand community based organizations for collection and transportation should strongly beencouraged. They generate not just new employment but awareness among the population aswell. As for the treatment and disposal of organic household waste, two promising technologiesare decentralized composting and home composting with plastic bins.

Solid waste management in Mekong Delta / Quản lý chất thải rắn ở Đồng bằng Sông Cửu Long

Nguyen, Xuan Hoang, Le, Hoang Viet 07 August 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Municipal solid waste (MSW) in Vietnam has been increasing quickly and became one of the most considered environmental problems in Mekong Delta (MD) region covering 13 provinces and municipalities in the south of Vietnam. With a considerably large amount of MSW, the region produces about 5% of the total amount of MSW of the country. The collection rate of solid waste is about quite high (65 - 72%) in the cities and rather low (about 40 - 55%) in the rural areas, with a high content in organic matter (about 60 - 85%). The climate of MD can be characterized as tropical and monsoonal with a high rate of humidity and a strong impact of flooding. Like other regions too, the MSW collection and treatment system is still underdeveloped and rudimentary, with disposal sites being the sole dumping method of the unsorted MSW remaining untreated by any mechanical and biological pre-treatment steps. Within this paper, the current treatment, management and operation of MSW systems are introduced, as well as the identification of advantages and disadvantages, environmental impacts, potential risks of the MSW system within the impact of global climate change. The situation of MSW treatment and management is correlated with the climate change impact and the integrated solid waste management is introduced as a new approach for adapting the environmental protection awareness by considering the climate change for the longterm sustainable development orientation. / Sự gia tăng chất thải rắn ở các đô thị Việt Nam ngày càng nhanh và chất thải rắn đang là một trong những vấn đề môi trường được quan tâm hàng đầu. Đồng bằng Sông Cửu Long (ĐBSCL) nơi có đến 13 tỉnh và thành phố nằm ở phía Nam Việt Nam. Với lượng chất thải không nhỏ, chiếm khoảng 5 % tổng lượng chất thải rắn sinh hoạt của quốc gia. Tỷ lệ thu gom chất thải rắn thấp, chiếm khoảng 65 - 72 % ở thành thị, tỷ lệ này ở nông thôn thấp 40 - 55%, chất thải có hàm lượng hữu cơ cao chiếm khoảng 60 - 85%. Khí hậu nhiệt đới gió mùa với độ ẩm không khí cao và chịu ảnh hưởng lớn của lũ lụt hàng năm. Cũng như các khu vực khác, hệ thống thu gom và xử lý rác thải ở khu vực ĐBSCL còn rất thô sơ và lạc hậu, bãi rác là nơi duy nhất tiếp nhận trực tiếp hổnhợp rác thải không phân loại và qua bất kỳ công đoạn tiền xử lý nào. Trong phạm vi bài viết này, chúng tôi giới thiệu hoạt động vận hành hệ thống quản lý và xử lý rác đô thị trong khu vực đồng thời phân tích các thuận lợi và bất lợi, cũng như các tác động môi trường, những rủi ro tiềm ẩn trong điều kiện ảnh hưởng của biến đổi khí hậu toàn cầu - khu vực ĐBSCL là nơi chịu ảnh hưởng nặng nề nhất. Tình hình quản lý và xử lý rác được cân nhắc trong điều kiện tác động của biến đổi khí hậu, đồng thời quản lý tổng hợp rác thải cũng được đề xuất như một các tiếp cận mới nhằm đáp ứng nhiệm vụ bảo vệ môi trường trong điều kiện biến đổi khí hậu theo định hướng phát triển bền vững lâu dài.

An Embedded Garbage Collection Module with Support for Multiple Mutators and Weak References

Preußer, Thomas B., Reichel, Peter, Spallek, Rainer G. 14 November 2012 (has links) (PDF)
This report details the design of a garbage collection (GC) module, which introduces modern GC features to the domain of embedded implementations. The described design supports weak references and feeds reference queues. Its architecture allows multiple concurrent application cores operating as mutators on the shared memory managed by the GC module. The garbage collection is exact and fully concurrent so as to enable the uninterrupted computational progress of the mutators. It combines a distributed root marking with a centralized heap scan of the managed memory. It features a novel mark-and-copy GC strategy on a segmented memory, which thereby overcomes both the tremendous space overhead of two-space copying and the compaction race of mark-and-compact approaches. The proposed GC architecture has been practically implemented and proven using the embedded bytecode processor SHAP as a sample testbed. The synthesis results for settings up to three SHAP mutator cores are given and online functional measurements are presented. Basic performance dependencies on the system configuration are evaluated.

The development of an intelligent, cloud-based remote monitoring management system

Cheng, Wen-Hao 25 October 2012 (has links)
In this thesis, a data collection application based on MapReduce programming is described. This application aims to collect tempera- ture data stream continuously from a specied set of sensors. Instead of collecting the temperature information of all the sensors by one machine, the sensors are divided into several subsets each of which is handled as a Map task. In each Map task, the temperature data stream of the assigned sensors is collected continuously and stored in a predened database. All the Map tasks can run simultaneously on several machines. This method can reduce the delay time and improve the eciency of the data collection service, especially in the case of having a huge number of sensors monitored remotely by a data center through Internet. We can use the value of remote sensors to predict the next value of remote sensors by some methods such as linear regres- sion and K-means. And, we can use it to predict the system alarm. Experimental results show that the proposed method is eective in temperature data collection,and eective in carbon reduction.

Educational Function Of Art Museums: Two Case Studies From Turkey

Tan, Ceyda Basak 01 September 2007 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis analyzes the educational function of art museums, how education in art museums evolved and how an art museum can conduct an educational mission. The concept of the material collections as the educative origin of art museums will be discussed alongside the history of collections in Europe. In addition to the concept of collection, the importance of educational programmes of art museums will be highlighted. Having derived a general notion of the educational function of art museums, the thesis will seek to answer questions such as how museology evolved in Turkey and whether the turkish museology has an educational concern. In accordance with these questions two turkish contemporary art museums will be investigated as case studies.
