With the maturation of the child custody investigative process, the role of investigators and the process of these investigations have come under increasing scrutiny. The investigators are expected to be objective, neutral, and professional while following procedures that conform to model standards. However, this assumption of a lack of bias has been largely overlooked in the literature regarding the investigative process. It is assumed that investigators should self-monitor to ensure that their stance is objective and neutral. Furthermore, this position of neutrality and objectivity is assumed to be intuitive and natural. By using a case study, this thesis investigates and describes the process of a child custody investigation predicated on a constructivist epistemology. It highlights the impossibility of any investigator to be objective and neutral in any investigation automatically, regardless of the procedures and methods employed. The thesis highlights the participant observer status of investigators. An aim of the thesis is thus to sensitise investigators to this inevitable vulnerability with the expectation that such an awareness may allow investigators to establish processes to render investigations consciously more balanced, considered, and transparent. A further aim is to describe a child custody evaluation from an eco-systemic perspective by contextualising the investigation in the larger ecosystem to which it belongs. This description includes the investigation as part of an evolving problem-determined system. An awareness of this wider and evolving context may enable investigators to approximate a position of objectivity and neutrality more effectively. It may also act as an inoculation against the ‘contamination’ of the investigator by the investigative system.

This thesis identifies what could be included in both areas (in addition to the expected protocols and procedures) by describing the investigator’s position as an expert learner, rather than just an ‘expert’. In line with current literature, it highlights the benefits of thinking consciously and in a considered manner. Furthermore, it indicates the benefits of a team approach to investigations, which could be considered an area for further investigation.

O uso assertivo e eficiente das estratégias de aprendizagem depende, muitas vezes, da compreensão e consideração de aspectos psicológicos e motivacionais. O adequado emprego de estratégias de aprendizagem se reflete no desempenho acadêmico, no domínio de construtos e modelos e no amadurecimento crítico e científico. A presente tese defende que há uma relação entre as estratégias de aprendizagem autorregulada e as estratégias de aprendizagem autodeterminada predominantes em alunos de mestrado e doutorado em Contabilidade. O estudo se justifica, porquanto, porque além de inaugurar uma linha de pesquisa ainda inédita no contexto da Contabilidade Humana, seus resultados destacam um original entendimento da relação da aprendizagem com a regulação e a motivação pessoal. Tem como objetivo principal apresentar diagnóstico, dimensões e correlações das estratégias de aprendizagem autorregulada e aprendizagem autodeterminada de alunos de programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu em Contabilidade no Brasil. Participaram do survey 516 respondentes, sendo 383 mestrandos e 133 doutorandos. Foram aplicados dois instrumentos psicométricos: Self-Regulated Learning Strategies (SRLS) e Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). O modelo operacional de pesquisa delineou a formulação de oito hipóteses, sendo que a primeira delas sustenta a defesa da tese, enquanto as demais defendem a influência das variáveis idade, gênero, tipo de curso, estágio no curso, tipo de instituição de graduação, nota do curso atribuída pela Capes e graus de instrução dos pais nos níveis de Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) e Self-Determination Theory (SDT). A partir da análise multivariada dos dados, os resultados corroboraram a tese e a influência do gênero no nível de SRL. A metaconclusão desta tese ratifica os estudos referenciados, confirmando que a aprendizagem pode ser dominada e controlada pelo indivíduo, ao se adotar estratégias individuais de regulação e motivação. Uma importante contribuição desta pesquisa consiste em oferecer conclusões empíricas que podem ajudar docentes, discentes, pesquisadores, instituições de ensino e programas de pós-graduação a compreender mais sistematicamente os aspectos da aprendizagem autorregulada e da aprendizagem autodeterminada que caracterizam o aluno de Contabilidade. Limitações importantes deste estudo podem ser vistas como oportunidades para pesquisas futuras: a amostra envolve um público específico, a pesquisa survey pode apresentar vieses de método comum e a baixa participação de alunos de mestrado profissional. Estudos futuros poderão adotar outras estratégias metodológicas e/ou envolver amostras mais diversificadas ou em maior lastro temporal / Assertive and efficient use of learning strategies often depends of the understanding and consideration of psychological and motivational aspects. Appropriate use of learning strategies is reflected in the academic performance, in the appropriation of constructs and models and in the critical and scientific maturity. This dissertation argues that there is a relationship between predominating self-regulated learning strategies and self-determined learning strategies in accounting master\'s and doctorate students. The study can be justified in view of, apart from inaugurating a research line within the context of Human Accounting, their results highlight a unique understanding of the relationship of learning with regulation and personal motivation. Its main goal is to present a diagnosis, the dimensions and the correlations of self-regulated learning and self-determined learning strategies of graduate Accounting students in Brazil. Five hundred and sixteen respondents participated in the survey, comprising 383 master\'s and 133 doctoral students. Two psychometric instruments were applied: the Self-Regulated Learning Strategies (SRLS) and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). The operating model research outlined the formulation of eight hypotheses, being that the first of them supports the thesis, while the others investigate the influence in the levels of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) of age, gender, type of course, stage in the course, type of undergraduate institution (public or private), grade attributed by Capes to the course and parental formal education degrees. From the multivariate data analysis,the results support the thesis and that gender has influence in the SRL level. The metaconclusion of this thesis confirms the referenced studies, estating that learning can be dominated and controlled by individuals through the adoption of individual strategies of regulation and motivation. An important contribution of this study is to offer empirical conclusions that might help teachers, students themselves, researchers, educational institutions and graduate programs to understand more systematically the aspects of self-regulated learning and self-determined learning that characterize the Accounting graduate students. The major limitations of the present study can be seen as opportunities for future researches: the sample involves a particular audience, research can provide common methods bias and the low participation of professional master\'s degree students in the sample. Future studies can take further methodological strategies and/or involve more diversified samples or consider longitudinal approaches

A obra de Ibn Arab (1165 d.C. /560 H.) é bastante extensa, compreendendo cerca de 400 títulos, dos quais Kitb fu½½ al-¬ikam (O livro dos engastes das sabedorias) destaca-se como um dos principais escritos no qual o autor apresenta sua concepção metafísica, de forma mais sistematizada, como sua teoria dos nomes divinos através dos quais a essência do real procede, manifestando todos os existentes, assim como trata, de maneira aprofundada, do significado dos profetas e das sabedorias por eles transmitidas, propondo uma conotação totalmente metafísica para o profético. A profecia assume, nessa obra, uma importância fundamental, ela é apresentada como a condição de possibilidade da existência determinada, assim como também a condição de possibilidade do conhecimento da essência do real, ou seja, a condição de possibilidade de conhecer a realidade primeira. É interessante notar ainda a riqueza e a complexidade discursiva, na qual vida e obra encontram-se implicadas nesse processo de existenciação, de modo que tanto o autor quanto sua obra recebem estatutos muito significativos e particulares referentes ao sistema metafísico apresentado. Servindo-se da filosofia, da teologia e da mística arabo-islâmicas, oferecendo, com isso, um pensamento, embora complexo, de alcance universal que reconhece todos os profetas do ciclo histórico e as diversas tradições reveladas, a hermenêutica de Ibn Arab evidencia-se em muito original, promovendo um diálogo criativo e conciliador entre diversas culturas, permanecendo, até os dias de hoje, profundamente rico, inovador e inspirador para as mais diversas culturas e domínios do pensamento. / The work of Ibn \'Arab (1165 AD / H. 560) is quite extensive, comprising about 400 titles, of which Kitb fu½½ al-¬ikam (The Book of the bezels of wisdom) stands out as one of the major writings in which the author presents his metaphysical conception in a more systematic way as his theory of divine names, by which the essence of real conceives, showing all as he deeply addresses, the meaning of the prophets and the wisdom transmitted by them, proposing an entirely metaphysical connotation for the prophetic. On this work, the prophecy itself assumes a fundamental importance. It is presented as the condition of possibility of determined existence, as well as the condition of possibility of knowledge of the essence of real, i.e.: the condition of possibility of knowing the first reality. It is quite interesting to notice the richness and discursive complexity, in which life and the paper are implied in this existence process, so that both the author and his work receive very significant and specific status relating to the metaphysical system presented. Making use of philosophy, theology and the Arab-Islamic mysticism, offering thereby a thought, though complex, universal reach that recognizes all the prophets of the historical cycle and several revealed traditions, the hermeneutic of Ibn \'Arab evidences itself as being very original, promoting a creative and conciliatory dialogue among several cultures and remaining until this day, deeply rich, innovative and inspiring for several cultures and thought domains.

À l’issue de ce travail de thèse, je propose une approche basée sur le formalisme des modèles à base de contraintes, pour étudier la dynamique d’un système métabolique. En associant l’échantillonnage de l’espace des solutions avec l’utilisation d’une contrainte de « faisabilité » entre les périodes de temps considérées, cette approche permet de modéliser la dynamique d’un système métabolique en prenant en compte la variabilité des mesures expérimentales. La contrainte de faisabilité entre les périodes permet de garantir que chaque « trajectoire solution » correspond à une succession de cartes de flux qui conduit à des cinétiques de concentrations cohérentes avec les mesures expérimentales. Les populations de trajectoires solutions générées autorisent différents types d’analyses. D’une part, les répartitions de flux prédites peuvent être utilisées afin d’estimer les répartitions de flux les plus plausibles au sein du réseau étudié. D’autre part, la distribution des concentrations prédites permet d’évaluer le modèle utilisé pour étudier le réseau métabolique. Le fait que cette approche soit basée sur le formalisme de la modélisation à base de contraintes permet, moyennant l’utilisation de l’hypothèse d’état stationnaire du système, d’étudier des réseaux métaboliques de taille relativement grande, et d’utiliser des données expérimentales qui sont aisément mesurables, par exemple les concentrations en biomasse et en métabolites extracellulaires. Cette approche par « trajectoires solutions » a été utilisée afin d’étudier la dynamique du métabolisme de Corynebacterium glutamicum, lorsqu’elle est cultivée en condition de limitation en biotine. Les résultats obtenus ont permis d’une part d’attester du fonctionnement de la méthode, et d’autre part de proposer plusieurs hypothèses quant aux phénomènes biologiques qui ont lieu pendant cette condition particulière de croissance. / In this thesis, I propose an approach based on the formalism of constraint-based models to study the dynamics of a metabolic system. By combining the sampling of the solutions space and the use of a "feasibility" constraint between the considered time periods, this approach allows to model the dynamic of a metabolic system taking into account the variability of experimental measurements. The feasibility constraint between time periods ensures that each "solution trajectory" corresponds to a succession of flux maps which leads to some kinetics of concentrations that are consistent with the experimental measurements. The generation of a population of solution trajectories allows several analyses. On the one hand, the predicted flux maps can be used to estimate the most plausible flux within the network studied. On the other hand, the distribution of predicted concentrations enables to assess the model used for studying the metabolic network. The fact that this approach is based on the formalism of constraint-based modeling allows, using the steady-state assumption of the system, to study metabolic networks of relatively large size, and to use experimental data that are easily measurable, such as biomass concentration and extracellular metabolites concentration. This approach by "solution trajectories" has been used to study the dynamics of the metabolism of Corynebacterium glutamicum, when grown under biotin-limited condition. The results allowed, first, to attest the functioning of the method, and second, to propose several hypotheses about biological phenomena that take place during this particular growth condition.

Nous considérons le problème de la séparation de mélanges audio réverbérants déterminés et sous-déterminés, c'est-à-dire l'extraction du signal de chaque source dans un mélange multicanal. Nous proposons un cadre général de modélisation gaussienne où la contribution de chaque source aux canaux du mélange dans le domaine temps-fréquence est modélisée par un vecteur aléatoire gaussien de moyenne nulle dont la covariance encode à la fois les caractéristiques spatiales et spectrales de la source. A n de mieux modéliser la réverbération, nous nous aff ranchissons de l'hypothèse classique de bande étroite menant à une covariance spatiale de rang 1 et nous calculons la borne théorique de performance atteignable avec une covariance spatiale de rang plein. Les ré- sultats expérimentaux indiquent une augmentation du rapport Signal-à-Distorsion (SDR) de 6 dB dans un environnement faiblement à très réverbérant, ce qui valide cette généralisation. Nous considérons aussi l'utilisation de représentations temps-fréquence quadratiques et de l'échelle fréquentielle auditive ERB (equivalent rectangular bandwidth) pour accroître la quantité d'information exploitable et décroître le recouvrement entre les sources dans la représentation temps-fréquence. Après cette validation théorique du cadre proposé, nous nous focalisons sur l'estimation des paramètres du modèle à partir d'un signal de mélange donné dans un scénario pratique de séparation aveugle de sources. Nous proposons une famille d'algorithmes Expectation-Maximization (EM) pour estimer les paramètres au sens du maximum de vraisemblance (ML) ou du maximum a posteriori (MAP). Nous proposons une famille d'a priori de position spatiale inspirée par la théorie de l'acoustique des salles ainsi qu'un a priori de continuité spatiale. Nous étudions aussi l'utilisation de deux a priori spectraux précédemment utilisés dans un contexte monocanal ou multicanal de rang 1: un a priori de continuité spatiale et un modèle de factorisation matricielle positive (NMF). Les résultats de séparation de sources obtenus par l'approche proposée sont comparés à plusieurs algorithmes de base et de l'état de l'art sur des mélanges simulés et sur des enregistrements réels dans des scénarios variés.

Cette thèse porte sur l'impact du changement climatique du à des gaz à effet de serre sur l'état et l'évolution du pergélisol dans le nord canadien. Le pergélisol se retrouve sur la moitie du territoire canadien et un changement de son état actuel se répercutera dans toutes les sphères d'activité, sur la biosphère et sur l'environnement en général. Malgré l'importance évidente du sujet, il n'y a pas une idée précise comment le pergélisol réagira au changement climatique et jusqu'où la couche pergélisolée sera perturbée. Cette thèse explore ce sujet en utilisant une approche méthodologique s’inspirant de celui du modèle canadien d'évolution de pergélisol (TTOP) et avec une approche théorique basée sur la théorie des systèmes neuronaux complexes. L’objectif général de cette thèse est d’améliorer le modèle canadien d’évolution du pergélisol (TTOP - Temperature on the Top Of Permafrost) créé par Smith et Riseborough en 1996, tant dans sa structure de calcul, que dans sa résolution spatiale et de déterminer l'évolution du pergélisol dans la zone d'étude pour la période 2010-2100. Cette zone est située dans le Bassin Mackenzie (T.N-O) sur un transect nord-sud de 1440 x 720 km. Le premier objectif de recherche est de produire les cartes des valeurs annuelles de température à la partie supérieure du pergélisol de 2010 à 2100 en utilisant un modèle amélioré d'évolution du pergélisol (TTOP-A). Par la suite, ces valeurs sont comparées à celles obtenues par Smith et Riseborough (1996). Les valeurs de température de l'air pour cette période sont fournies par les scénarios d'évolution climatique MCCG3 SRES A1B, MCCG3 SRES A2 et MCCG3 SRES B1. Dans un deuxième temps, cette thèse a pour objectif la production des cartes d'épaisseur de pergélisol jusqu'en 2100 à une résolution spatiale de 25 km. Plus précisément, on détermine l'évolution des valeurs d'épaisseur de pergélisol pour les trois scénarios climatiques mentionnés antérieurement. De plus, l'étude propose: i) une nouvelle méthode de désagrégation des données climatiques en utilisant un Modèle Stochastique Déterminé, ii) l'intégration de la carte de type de sol, iii) l'intégration des valeurs d'humidité dans le sol, iv) l'intégration des valeurs d'épaisseur de la couche nivale et v) l'intégration des données de télédétection (SSM/I). De façon générale, les résultats obtenus par le modèle TTOP-A révèlent que les valeurs moyennes de température à la surface du pergélisol suivent de près les valeurs de température de l’air et qu'elles sont semblables aux celles trouvées par Smith et Riseborough (1996) et Heginbottom et coll. (1995). De plus, les différences des valeurs de température à la surface de pergélisol entre 2010 et 2100 s'inscrivent dans l'écart des valeurs publié par le Groupe d'Experts Intergouvernemental sur l'Évolution du Climat (GIEC, 2007). Concernant le deuxième objectif de cette thèse, la dynamique spatiotemporelle du pergélisol jusqu'en 2100 démontre que, dans la zone d'étude, la superficie perturbée par le réchauffement climatique sera de 37 %, 60 % et 29 % selon les scénarios MCCG3 SRES A1B, MCCG3 SRES A2 et MCCG3 SRES B1 respectivement. Selon les scénarios mentionnés antérieurement, la couche pergélisolée à l'intérieur de cette zone disparaîtra dans une proportion de 20 %, 32 % et 18 % respectivement. Ces résultats nous laissent croire que les prévisions faites par Smith et Riseborough ont été surévaluées dans le contexte de deux des trois scénarios climatiques actuels par rapport à celui de 1996. Finalement, cette étude démontre que la méthode de désagrégation des données en utilisant les réseaux neuronaux dans un Modèle Stochastique Déterminé donne de bons résultats et elle représente une option fiable qui se prête à des généralisations à grande échelle. / This thesis explores the potential impacts of a climate change due to the greenhouse gases on the state and the evolution of the permafrost in the Canadian North. The permafrost represents the half of the Canadian national territory and a change of its current state will echo in all spheres of activity, on the biosphere and on the environment generally. In spite of the evident importance of the subject, there is no precise idea as to how the permafrost will react to the climate change and to what extent the frozen layer will be disrupted. This thesis investigates this problem by using a methodological approach inspired by the Canadian model on the evolution of permafrost (TTOP) coupled with a theoretical approach based on the theory of the complex neuronal systems. The general objective of this thesis is to improve the Canadian model of evolution of permafrost (TTOP-Temperature one the Top Of Permafrost) created by Smith and Riseborough in 1996, its structure of computation, spatial resolution and to determine the state of the permafrost in the study area between 2010 and 2100. The study zone is situated in the Mackenzie Basin (N-W.T) on a north-south transect of 1440 by 720 km. The first objective of the research is to derive maps of the annual values of temperature on the top of the permafrost from 2010 to 2100 by using an improved dynamic model of the evolution of permafrost (TTOP-A). Thereafter, these values are compared with those obtained by Smith and Riseborough (1996). The values of the evolution of air temperature for this period are supplied by the climatic scénarios CGCM3 SRES A1B, CGCM3 SRES A2 and CGCM3 SRES B1. Secondly, this thesis has as an objective the production of the maps of the thickness of permafrost for 2100 with a spatial resolution of 25 km. More exactly, we determine the evolution of the values of thickness of permafrost for the three climatic scénarios mentioned above. Furthermore, the study proposes: i) a new method for downscaling of climate data by using a Determined Stochastic Model, ii) the integration of soil type, iii) the integration of the soil humidity, iv) the integration of the values of thickness of the snow layer and v) the integration of remote sensing data (SSM/I). As a rule, the results obtained by the TTOP-A model reveal that the mean values of temperature at the surface of the permafrost follow closely the values of air temperature and that they are similar to those found by Smith and Riseborough (1996) and Heginbottom and coll. (1995). Also, the differences of the values of temperature on the surface of permafrost between 2010 and 2100 are similar to the values published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Concerning the second objective of this thesis, the spatio-temporal dynamics of the permafrost until 2100 demonstrates that, in the study zone, the surface perturbed by global warming will be 37 %, 60 % and 29 % according to the scénarios CGCM3 SRES A1B, CGCM3 SRES A2 and CGCM3 SRES B1 respectively. The permafrost layer inside this zone will disappear by 20 %, 32 % and 18 % according to the scénarios mentioned before. These results lead us to believe that the estimations made by Smith and Riseborough were overvalued in the context of two of three current climates scénarios compared to that of the 1996. Finally, this study demonstrates that the method of downscaling of climate data using the neuronal network within a Determined Stochastic Model gives good results and it represents a reliable option which lends itself to large-scale generalizations. / Les fichiers video (d'animation) sont dans un format Windows Media (.wmv)
