En s'appuyant sur une démarche historique et empirique, et en mobilisant le cadre conceptuel de l'écologie territoriale, cette thèse analyse les relations entre la ville et l'agriculture au cours d'une période de profondes mutations agricoles urbaines, et de globalisation, qui aurait dessaisi la ville de la question agricole. Pourtant, la ville continue depuis 1945 d'entretenir avec l'agriculture une relation forte quoique changeante. Dans l'après-guerre, la ville est un relais de l'Etat pour la modernisation des filières agricoles et des outils de transformation, contribuant à l'insertion des productions locales dans le système alimentaire, et développant par ce biais son économie agro-industrielle. Elle tente de maintenir sa fonction centrale de commerce agricole par la rénovation des infrastructures de marché. Celles-ci deviennent progressivement alternatives aux circuits dominants, permettant l'insertion au marché des produits artisanaux, aujourd'hui valorisés pour leur lien au terroir. Dès les années 1950 la ville construit son image territoriale en développant les contenus immatériels de l'agriculture, promouvant les produits et savoir-faire locaux. Ce faisant, elle contribue à maintenir jusqu'en 2012 une rente liée à l'ancrage territorial qui assure la pérennité des outils et opérateurs locaux. Plus récemment elle engage l'approvisionnement local de sa restauration scolaire et appuie son projet d'agglomération sur les produits et paysages locaux. Brive révèle le rôle des villes d'expédition dans la recomposition territoriale du système alimentaire, et le rôle d’intermédiation des villes moyennes entre l'agriculture locale et le système alimentaire. / Relying on a historical and empirical approach, and mobilizing the conceptual framework of territorial ecology, our work analyzes the relationships between the city and agriculture, amidst a period of deep agricultural and urban mutations, and globalization, which allegedly divested the city of the agricultural issue. Nevertheless, since 1945, the city has been maintaining a deep yet changing relationship to agriculture. After the war, the city became the arm of the state for the modernization of the agricultural supply chain and transformation tools, thus contributing to the insertion of local production into the food system, and in this way developed its agro-industrial economy. The city tried to preserve its central function in agricultural trade by renovative market infrastructures. Those progressively offered an alternative to dominant channels, enabling the insertion into the market of artisanal products which today are valued for their link to the "terroir". In the 1950s, the city built its territorial image by developing immaterial contents for agriculture, and promoting local products and savoir-faire. In so doing, it has contributed to the preservation, until 2012, of revenues linked to the territorial anchorage which guarantees the sustainability of local tools and operators. More recently, it has taken action for local sourcing of school canteens, and has been basing its urban development project on local products and landscapes. Brive reveals the role of goods-shipping cities in the territorial reshuffling of the food system, and the intermediation.

[pt] Sob o prisma do valor de mudança social ligado à juventude, criado histo-ricamente a partir do século XIX, o jovem possui a responsabilidade, no senso comum, de lutar por transformações e modificar circunstâncias indesejadas por ele e, ocasionalmente, pela sociedade. São os jovens que carregam a missão de mudar o mundo. Entretanto, a juventude hodierna decorre de antagônico cenário sobre si: descrença de engajamento em questões sociais. Tal pensamento é relacionado à condição de terem nascido junto a uma inovação mundial: a internet. Uma vasta literatura e matérias na mídia decorrem sobre o assunto. Nascidos entre os anos 1980 e 2000, os jovens millennials teriam conceitos e características muito específicas para tais fontes. Entre elas, a pouca adesão à mudança social. A presente pesquisa busca, então, compreender como esses jovens lidam com o as-sunto em foco. Para tal fim, outros conceitos criados sobre os millennials também foram verificados para a análise mais próxima da realidade dos jovens. Temas constantemente citados sobre o objeto desse estudo foram investigados com os próprios millennials na fase de ida ao campo. Dessa forma, primeiramente, foi explorada uma revisão bibliográfica que passa principalmente pela criação da juventude, mudança social, geração e modernidade, o que proporcionou embasamento para pesquisa. Nesse sentido, alguns autores como Philippe Ariès (1981), David Le Breton (2017), Karl Mannheim (2007), Anthony Giddens (2002) e Stuart Hall (2006) deram sustentação histórica e sociológica necessária para dialogar com os assuntos levantados. O trajeto percorrido pela metodologia foi desenhado partindo de uma análise de conteúdo acerca de como o jovem hodierno é mencionado pela mídia, grupo focal e uma entrevista em profundidade com um especia-lista, métodos acessórios que proporcionaram mais assertividade para, então, seguir para as entrevistas em profundidade e delas extrair o que a pesquisa propõe. À vista de determinado contexto, a pesquisa apresentará reflexões sobre a superficialidade com que os jovens são retratados midiaticamente, assim como o campo revelará noções e anseios sobre a forma com que os millennials percebem o mun-do em que vivem e as importantes implicações que tais classificações despertam em suas vidas. / [en] About the prism of the value of social change connected to the youth, cre-ated historically from the XIX century, the young has the responsibility, in the common sense, to fight for changes and modify circumstances unwanted by him and occasionally by the society. The young people are the ones who carry the mission of changing the world. However, the youth of today stems from an an-tagonistic scenario about itself: disbelief of engagement in social issues. Such a thought is related to the condition of having been born with a worldwide innova-tion: the internet. A vast literature and subjects in the media arise on the subject. Born between the years 1980 and 2000, the young millennials have concepts and very specific features to such sources. Among them, the low adherence to social change. The present project aims to understand how these young people deal with the subject in focus. To this end, other concepts created about the millennials were also checked for the analysis be the most accurate as possible. To this end, other concepts created on the millennials were also checked for the closest analysis of the reality of young people. Constantly cited themes about the object of this study were investigated with the millennials themselves in the research phase. In this way, a bibliographic review was first explored, mainly through the creation of youth, social change, generation and modernity, which provided a basis for re-search. In this sense, some authors such as Philippe Ariès (1981), David Le Bre-ton (2017), Karl Mannheim (2007), Anthony Giddens (2002) and Stuart Hall (2006) provided the necessary historical and sociological support for dialogue with the issues raised. The trajectory covered by the methodology was drawn from a content analysis about how the young man is mentioned by the media, a focus group and an in-depth interview with a specialist, accessory methods that provided more assertiveness to then go to interviews in depth and extract from them what the research proposes. In view of a given context, the research will reflect on the superficiality with which young people are portrayed in a mediatic way, as the field will reveal notions and yearnings about how millennials perceive the world in which they live and the important implications that such classifica-tions arouse in their lives.

L’eau supercritique peut être utilisée comme caloporteur à haute pression pour améliorer le rendement des centrales électriques. Pour un concept de réacteur nucléaire, la durée de vie des matériaux est un paramètre important en termes de sécurité. Par conséquent, les critères de sélection des matériaux pour un concept de réacteur à l’eau supercritique concernent les propriétés mécaniques à haute température pour une bonne tenue au fluage et à l’irradiation mais également une résistance à la corrosion généralisée et à la corrosion sous contrainte. Ce travail à pour objectif d’améliorer la compréhension des mécanismes de corrosion en eau supercritique à 600°C et 25 MPa pour des alliages c.f.c contenant du fer, du nickel et du chrome. Des essais de corrosion ont été réalisés sur des autoclaves échantillons d’alliages 316L et 690 en prenant en compte l’état de surface. Les couches d’oxydes formées ont été décrites en termes de morphologie, de composition et de structure, après caractérisations par microscopie électronique à balayage, par spectroscopie à décharge luminescente et par diffraction des rayons X. Si un comportement de type gazeux de l’eau supercritique est attendu dans les conditions d’essai, les résultats montrent une dissolution significative de certains éléments de l’alliage. Par conséquent, la corrosion en eau supercritique peut être considérée comme similaire à la corrosion aqueuse avec un effet de la température qui peut influencer la diffusion en phase solide par exemple. Pour l’alliage 690, la couche d’oxyde protectrice formée sur une surface polie est composée de chromine et surmontée d’un chromite ou d’un spinelle mixte de nickel et de fer. La double couche d’oxyde formée sur une surface de même finition pour l’alliage 316L semble moins protectrice. La couche externe de magnétite est poreuse et la couche interne riche en chrome est non homogène. Pour chaque alliage, l’étude des mécanismes de diffusion, grâce à des expériences utilisant des marqueurs ou des traceurs, révèle une croissance de la couche d’oxyde contrôlée par un processus anionique. Cependant, l’état de surface influence fortement les mécanismes de formation des couches d’oxyde. La comparaison des résultats sur l’acier suggère qu’il y a une concurrence entre l’oxydation du fer et celle du chrome. Une quantité suffisante de chrome est nécessaire pour former une fine couche d’oxyde protectrice. Les surfaces très déformées ou à microstructure à grains très fins conduisent à des fines couches d’oxyde de chrome, grâce à une forte densité de site de germination ou grâce aux courts-circuits de diffusion du chrome. L’état de surface est donc déterminant pour l’acier mais le même paramètre engendre des effets différents pour l’alliage à base de nickel. Les surfaces usinées deviennent sensibles à une oxydation interne du chrome, même si une fine couche d’oxyde continue et riche en chrome et manganèse se forme. Ce phénomène suggère une diffusion accélérée concurrentielle entre l’oxygène et le chrome. Pour conclure, ce travail propose un mécanisme de croissance de la couche d’oxyde dans chaque cas et discute des conditions favorables à la formation d’une couche d’oxyde protectrice riche en chrome dans l’optique d’une application au réacteur à eau supercritique. / Supercritical water can be use as a high pressure coolant in order to improve the thermodynamic efficiency of power plants. For nuclear concept, lifetime is an important safety parameter for materials. Thus materials selection criteria concern high temperature yield stress, creep resistance, resistance to irradiation embrittlement and also to both uniform corrosion and stress corrosion cracking.This study aims for supplying a new insight on uniform corrosion mechanism of Fe-Ni-Cr f.c.c. alloys in deaerated supercritical water at 600°C and 25MPa. Corrosion tests were performed on 316L and 690 alloys as sample autoclaves taking into account the effect of surface finishes. Morphologies, compositions and crystallographic structure of the oxides were determined using FEG scanning electron microscopy, glow discharge spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. If supercritical water is expected to have a gas-like behaviour in the test conditions, the results show a significant dissolution of the alloy species. Thus the corrosion in supercritical water can be considered similar to corrosion in under-critical water assuming the higher temperature and its effect on the solid state diffusion. For alloy 690, the protective oxide layer formed on polished surface consists of a chromia film topped with an iron and nickel mixed chromite or spinel. The double oxide layer formed on 316L steel seems less protective with an outer porous layer of magnetite and an inhomogeneous Cr-rich inner layer. For each alloy, the study of the inner protective scale growth mechanisms by marker or tracer experiments reveals that diffusion in the oxide scale is governed by an anionic process. However, surface finishes impact deeply the growth mechanisms. Comparisons between the results for the steel suggest that there is a competition between the oxidation of iron and chromium in supercritical water. Sufficient available chromium is required in order to form a thin oxide layer. Highly deformed or ultra fine microstructure surfaces lead to thin chromium rich oxide layers thanks to either diffusion short circuiting or increasing Cr oxide nucleation site. The nature of the surface is a determining factor in the steel instance. The same parameter breeds different effects for the Ni-based alloy. Machined surfaces lead to internal oxidation on alloy 690 even if a thin Cr and Mn rich oxide scale is formed. Competitive diffusion of oxygen and Cr species through the diffusion short circuit paths of the alloy is suggested. This work proposes oxide growth mechanisms for each case. Finally the conditions leading to the formation of chromium-rich protective oxide films in supercritical water are discussed.

Au cours des soixante dernières années, la population mondiale a connu un sursaut spectaculaire, passant de 2,5 milliards d’habitants à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale à 7 milliards en 2011. Cette croissance démographique se distingue des précédents épisodes tant par son importance que par l'apparition conjointe d'une tendance nouvelle et soutenue à la concentration des populations au sein des villes. Appelée à se renforcer partout dans le monde, cette tendance au grossissement des villes lance un véritable défi à la communauté internationale en matière de durabilité de notre système économique en général et alimentaire en particulier. Cette thèse propose un traitement théorique de la question de la durabilité des systèmes d'approvisionnement alimentaires en milieu urbain. A la frontière entre économie publique et économie géographique, elle poursuit comme objectif principal de permettre la conduite d'une analyse formalisée des arbitrages environnementaux et sociaux dans un cadre spatial explicite. En outre, l'idée selon laquelle aucune réponse ne saurait être satisfaisante sans qu'une attention spécifique soit portée aux interactions spatiales, économiques et écologiques entre espaces urbains et agriculture constitue l'un des positionnements clés défendus dans ce travail. De manière générale, les travaux de cette thèse font apparaître l'élément majeur suivant: du fait de la forte et inextricable interconnexion entre milieux urbain et rural, l'évaluation environnementale, sociale et économique d'un système alimentaire ne peut se faire qu'en connaissance des caractéristiques démographique et physique de la ville concernée. / Over the past sixty years, the world population has experienced a dramatic surge from 2.5 billion people by the end of World War II, to 7 billion in 2011. This population growth differs from previous episodes not only in importance, but also because of the joint emergence of a new and ongoing trend of rising urbanization. Expected to strengthen worldwide, this trend is a real challenge for the international community in terms of sustainability, especially for food supply. This thesis provides a theoretical treatment of food supply chain sustainability in a context of rapid and unrelenting urbanization. Halfway between economic geography and environmental economics, its primary goal is to allow for a theoretical formalization of ecological and social trade-offs in a spatially explicit framework. Besides, we argue that this issue cannot satisfactorily resolved without paying specific attention to urban-rural interactions. Our work discloses the following major element : because of the tight and inextricable interconnection between urban and rural areas, the ecological assessment of any food supply chain can only be achieved by taking into account both the demographic and physical features of cities.

De nombreuses applications de communication numériques font face à des canaux de transmission sélectifs en temps et en fréquence que nous pouvons assimiler à des systèmes linéaires variants dans le temps. À travers ces travaux de thèse, nous montrons que les modulations multiporteuses suréchantillonnées constituent une technique de transmission adaptée à ce type d'environnement. Cependant, la complexité algorithmique des émetteurs-récepteurs présentent un frein majeur à leur adoption. Fort de ce constat, nous nous intéressons à la sous-famille des modulations multiporteuses suréchantillonnées à filtres courts (WCP-OFDM), dont la complexité algorithmique est comparable à celle de l'OFDM avec préfixe cyclique. Après avoir exprimé les conditions de reconstructions parfaites, nous développons des égaliseurs de faible complexité et étudions la problématique du rapport de puissance crête sur puissance moyenne du signal en sortie d'émetteur. Enfin, nous analysons les performances de ces modulations à travers plusieurs scénarios de propagation radiomobiles. Les résultats de simulation confirment l'intérêt du WCP-OFDM, associé à des filtres prototypes bien localisés en temps et en fréquence pour faire face aux canaux doublement sélectifs. / Many digital communication applications are facing time and frequency selective channels that can be modelled by linear time-variant systems. Through this thesis work, we show that oversampled multicarrier modulations provide a suitable transmission technique for such an environment. However, the complexity of the transmitter-receiver remains a major obstacle for their adoption. Based on this observation, we focus on the sub-family of oversampled multicarrier modulation with short filters (WCP-OFDM), whose complexity is similar to cylic prefix OFDM. After introducing the perfect reconstruction conditions, we develop low-complexity equalizers and we study the peak-to-average power ratio issue at the output of the transmitter. Finally, we evaluate the performances of these moduations over several mobile radio propagation scenarios. Simulation results confirm the benefits of WCP-OFDM, with time-frequency localized prototypes filters, over doubly selective channels.

In the Lake Titicaca Basin, the sunken court complex has long been considered the archetypal public space. It is generally assumed that courts served as the major setting for ritual performance during the Formative period and possibly during the subsequent Middle Horizon; however, sunken courts are only one of several types of public architecture in use during these time periods. A diachronic study of public spaces within the ceremonial district at Pukara, specifically focused on the Qalasaya complex and central pampa areas, is directed at addressing the relationship between ritual architecture and early leadership during the Late Formative period (500 BC-AD400). Based on excavation data from the investigations of Alfred Kidder II in 1939, the Plan COPESCO excavations of the Qalasaya in the 1970s, and recent excavations on the central pampa in 2001, it is possible to develop a framework for characterizing temporal and functional changes in Pukara’s public spaces. Changes in the location, layout, and use of these spaces by both hosts and intended audiences are used as indicators of a shift from inclusive to exclusive leadership strategies at Pukara during the Late Formative period. / En la cuenca del lago Titicaca, el Complejo Patio Hundido ha sido considerado por largo tiempo como el arquetipo del espacio público. Por lo general, se asume que los patios sirvieron como el escenario principal para la escenificación ritual durante el Periodo Formativo y, posiblemente, durante el subsiguiente Horizonte Medio. Sin embargo, los patios hundidos son solo uno de los muchos tipos de arquitectura pública en uso durante estos periodos. Un estudio diacrónico de los espacios públicos dentro del área ceremonial del sitio de Pukara, centrado específicamente en las áreas del complejo Qalasaya y la "pampa" central, aborda la relación entre la arquitectura ritual y el liderazgo temprano durante el Periodo Formativo Tardío (500 a.C.-400 d.C.). Sobre la base de los datos de excavaciones como resultado de las investigaciones de Alfred Kidder II en 1939, las excavaciones del Plan COPESCO en el Qalasaya en la década de los setenta y excavaciones recientes en la pampa central en 2001 se plantea la posibilidad de desarrollar un marco para caracterizar los cambios temporales y funcionales en los espacios públicos de Pukara. Los cambios en la ubicación, trazado y uso de estos espacios tanto por los anfitriones como por las audiencias proyectadas son utilizados como indicadores de un cambio en las estrategias de liderazgo, las que pasan de tener un carácter inclusivo a uno de tipo excluyente en Pukara durante el Periodo Formativo Tardío.

Analisa-se, nesta monografia, a atuação dos Tribunais de Contas do Brasil, integrantes do Poder Legislativo, e suas imbricações com o controle de constitucionalidade das normas jurídicas exercido, nos termos da Constituição da República, à feição do sistema de check and balances, pelos Poderes Judiciário, Executivo e Legislativo, com suas respectivas peculiaridades. Neste iter, busca-se definir se as Cortes de Contas, encarregadas do controle externo das contas públicas, ao apreciarem a conformidade constitucional dos atos administrativos de gestão pública e, via de conseqüência, das leis e dos atos normativos que os fundamentam, exercem espécie de controle difuso de constitucionalidade ou, tão-somente, realizam seu Dever/ Poder de cumprirem, de forma plena, sua missão institucional, de acordo com os comandos dispostos na Constituição, por sua condição de Custodes in nomine populi (Guardiões em nome do povo). / This monography analises brazilian’s Courts of Account activity, Courts that integrates Legislative Power, and ist’s approach with constitutional control that, in the thermes dictated by Brazilian’s Republic Constitution, shapeed in check and balances system, is performed by Judiciary, Executive and Legislative Powers, with their respectives particularities. In this iter, we intend to define if Brazilian’s Accounts Courts, that have the duty to make public expenses external control, when examine the constitucionality of public’s administration acts and, therefore, of rules and normatives acts that support them, exercite a kind of constitucional control, similar of Unites States judicial review, or just realize its Duty/Power to accomplish, totally, the terms for them assigned by the Constitution, for it’s condition of Custodes in nomine populis.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Adrianne.pdf: 838341 bytes, checksum: 8ba16f162bfd503244eb96bd259b5c8d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007 / Esta dissertação objetiva demonstrar que o controle substancial ou de resultados da gestão pública exigência da Constituição Federal de1988 (artigo 70 a 75) tem como principais instrumentos de concretização as auditorias operacionais realizadas pelos Tribunais de Contas brasileiros (artigo 71 IV combinado ao artigo 75). Devido ás transformações experimentadas pela administração pública principalmente no século XX em um contexto de transição de seu modelo burocrático para o gerencial (cuja ênfase reside nos fins ou resultados e não nos meios ou processos) o controle substancial da gestão pública passa a complementar o controle formal (ou de legalidade). Considerando-se que parte dos Tribunais de Contas brasileiros (TCs) já adotam um modelo de auditoria de natureza operacional (matéria ainda incipiente sob os prismas conceitual e metodológico) enfatizando os aspectos de economicidade eficiência, eficácia e efetividade gerando recomendações que compreendem aspectos de desempenho e não apenas de regularidade e que ainda não houve uma sistematização dos resultados desse modelo que permitisse sua avaliação optou-se pela pesquisa exploratória com delineamentos documental e bibliográfico. Assim sendo foram enviados questionários aos 33 TCs no âmbito do programa de modernização do sistema de controle externo dos estados distrito federal e municípios brasileiros (PROMOEX). O delineamento documental consistiu principalmente no exame das deliberações do Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) acerca de auditorias de natureza operacional relativas a programas governamentais de diversas áreas cujos monitoramentos foram apreciados entre o período de 1999 a 2007. Foi examinada ainda a jurisprudência do TCU sobre o principio constitucional da economicidade relevante para o controle substancial a administração publica. O estudo abrangeu também o desempenho de Entidades Fiscalizadoras Superiores (EFSs) do Reino Unido (National Audit Office – NOA) Estados Unidos (Government Accountability Office GAO) e Canadá (Office of the auditor General – OAG) experientes na avaliação dos resultados das ações e programas de governo auxiliando os cidadãos no exercicio controle social. O delineamento bibliográfico do tema da pesquisa por sua própria natureza foi multidisciplinar (jurídico político sociológico gerencial contábil-financeiro). A pesquisa revelou que o TCU vem alcançando bons índices de implementação de suas recomendações formuladas em autorias de natureza operacional o que contribui para a melhoria das ações governamentais. Quanto a jurisprudência do TCU constatou-se a existência de um vínculo estreito entre economicidade e razoabilidade como também a necessidade do estabelecimento de parâmetros comparativos entre valores contratados preços praticados no mercado e resultados pretendidos. A pesquisa junto aos 33 TCS brasileiros evidenciou que a maioria dos TCs não realiza auditorias operacionais nem dispõe de instrumentos normativos específicos para a disciplina da matéria e mesmo os TCs que praticam a auditoria operacional não possuem experiência notória no ramo. Contudo iniciativas cmo as do PROMOEX podem modificar esse quadro a médio e longo prazo. Conclui-se portanto que resta aos TCs brasileiros o desafio de elaborar uma legislação nacional disciplinando em especifico as auditorias operacionais dirimindo-se as duvidas remanescentes sobre a possibilidade de responsabilização dos administradores públicos por desempenhos considerados insatisfatórios independentemente da existência de alguma irregularidade formal em suas prestações de contas. / Salvador

A idéia de animais estarem em juízo reivindicando seus direitos não é nova. Ao contrário data de períodos distantes. Porém, estes casos desencadeavam uma sensação de estranheza paa os operadores do direito que não sabiam lidar com esse tipo lide. O objetivo desta dissertação é de ser o fundamento teórico para uma mudança de concepção jurídica por parte destes operadores. Esta dissertação é a tentativa de reletir sobre conceitos jurídicos alicerçados, além de demonstrar de forma cuidadosa e consistente como os animais devem ter seus interesses reconhecidos e garantidos pelo ordenamento jurídico. Temas como sujeito de direito, personalidade jurídica e capacidade jurídica serão debatidos e esmiuçados sempre sob o prisma da teoria dos direitos dos animais. / Salvador
