This thesis presents a program of research evaluating the implementation of a primary care intervention program for disruptive child behaviour, and the process of dissemination of the intervention to primary care staff. The specific aims were to: 1) evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of a brief, preventive behavioural family intervention (BFI) administered by primary care staff in improving parenting skills and confidence and reducing targeted child behaviour problems; 2) assess the process of disseminating the intervention to primary care professionals by evaluating aids and obstacles for program implementation in the workplace; and 3) provide recommendations for future dissemination of psychological interventions. Childhood disruptive behaviour problems are becoming increasingly prevalent and are associated with significant personal and societal costs. Much is now known about the development of such problems, including individual, family and social risk and protective factors. There is considerable evidence that BFI programs are effective in reducing child behaviour problems and the family risk factors associated with the development and maintenance of these problems. Unfortunately, many evaluated programs have not been disseminated effectively, and have primarily been provided to clinical or high-risk populations in efficacy trials. Primary care settings have been increasingly identified as ideal settings for detection and early intervention for child mental health problems. However, there is limited research in the area of primary care BFI. While dissemination of psychological innovation to psychologists has historically been poor, with little impact on the professional practices of practitioners in the field, documentation of dissemination of these interventions to non-psychologists is rare. Although dissemination and diffusion theory have expanded, there is little controlled research evaluating the necessary or optimal conditions for the adoption and ongoing implementation of evidence-based programs. To address the problem of poor dissemination and limited access to evidence-based parenting programs in the community, a multilevel parenting and family support initiative, the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program, has been developed at the University of Queensland. One level of this system, Primary Care Triple P, encompasses a preventively oriented, early intervention program that aims to promote positive, caring relationships between parents and their children and to help parents develop effective management strategies for a variety of common behavioural and developmental issues. This primary care intervention was trialled and disseminated in the current research. Study 1 examined the effectiveness of Primary Care Triple P implemented by child health nurses with clients requesting help for child behaviour problems. A randomised group methodology was employed, comparing the intervention with a waitlist control condition. Assessments were completed at pre, post and 6-month follow-up. Data are presented for 26 families. In comparison to the waitlist condition, families receiving the intervention showed a significant reduction in targeted child behaviour problem/s according to monitoring and mother-report. Mothers receiving the intervention also reported significantly reduced dysfunctional parenting practices, greater satisfaction with their parenting role, and decreased anxiety and stress following the intervention in comparison to waitlist mothers. No group differences were found for observed parent-child interaction. However, rates of observed disruptive child behaviour and aversive parent behaviour were low from the outset. Consumer satisfaction with the program was high, and intervention gains were primarily maintained at 6-month follow-up. These results provide some of the first effectiveness outcomes from a randomised controlled trial of BFI in a primary care setting, and establish the effectiveness and acceptability of Primary Care Triple P conducted by child health nurses as part of usual practice. Study 2 examined the implementation of Primary Care Triple P following professional training in the program. Results of a survey of 1078 professionals are presented. A model of the personal, program, training and workplace factors influencing program implementation was tested. Structured equation modelling confirmed that practitioner self-efficacy mediated the relationship between program characteristics and program implementation. Prior professional experience and satisfaction with training did not predict self-efficacy or uptake. Workplace support was also directly associated with program implementation. These results advance our knowledge of the aids and obstacles faced by practitioners in implementing a new program in the workplace. This research provides important new knowledge in relation to improving early access to empirically-supported intervention services and has implications for the potential scope of service delivery in primary care settings. It also advances our understanding of the factors influencing a professional’s ability to implement a new intervention program following training. This information may inform the development of future dissemination efforts, allowing them to address necessary program, personal and workplace supports, and optimise program implementation following training.

No. of bitstreams: 1 GiulianaCunha.pdf: 4640312 bytes, checksum: dc57437622de160a609239ffe026456d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-10-18 / The beginning of the 21st century is marked by the propagation of actions related to the scientific dissemination. Still, the science-producing centers of Brazil do have no visibility compatible with the interest of contemporary society and only a small part of the Brazilian population has access to the science produced in the country. This study aims to evidence the importance of scientific dissemination in the organizational context for the democratization of scientific knowledge and as an important resource for legitimizing research units in relation to the lay public and the media. The investigation was developed through a bibliographical research and empirical study through a single case study of the Laboratório Nacional de Astrofísica (LNA) research unit. The data were obtained from the consultation of archives and analysis of documents, in-depth interviews conducted with managers and researchers of the LNA, questionnaires to journalists and direct and participant observation of the disclosure actions carried out by the institution. The data were analyzed in agreement with the theories about concepts and practices of scientific dissemination, identity, image and organizational reputation and communication policy that constituted the initial and final chapters of this study. It is concluded, among other aspects, that scientific dissemination is carried out in the institution studied, but that its role is not seen as a priority, since the target audience is not considered strategic. The actions of scientific dissemination carried out by the research unit are conducted without the guidance of a dissemination plan and therefore present problems that compromise the institutional visibility. / O início do século XXI é marcado pela propagação de ações ligadas à divulgação da ciência. Ainda assim, os centros produtores de ciência do Brasil não têm visibilidade compatível com o interesse da sociedade contemporânea e apenas uma pequena parcela da população brasileira tem acesso à ciência produzida no país. Este estudo tem como objetivo evidenciar a importância da divulgação científica no contexto organizacional para a democratização do conhecimento científico e como relevante recurso de legitimação das unidades de pesquisa frente ao público leigo e à mídia. A investigação foi desenvolvida por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e estudo empírico através de um estudo de caso único da unidade de pesquisa Laboratório Nacional de Astrofísica (LNA). Os dados foram obtidos a partir da consulta de arquivos e análise de documentos, entrevistas em profundidade realizadas com gestores e pesquisadores do LNA, questionários a jornalistas e observação direta e participante das ações de divulgação realizadas pela instituição. Os dados foram analisados em consonância com as teorias sobre conceitos e práticas de divulgação científica, identidade, imagem e reputação organizacional e política de comunicação que constituíram os capítulos inicial e final deste estudo. Conclui-se, entre outros aspectos, que a divulgação científica é realizada na instituição estudada, mas que seu papel não é visto como prioritário, pois o público a quem visa alcançar não é tido como estratégico. As ações de divulgação científica realizadas pela unidade de pesquisa são desempenhadas sem a orientação de um plano de divulgação e por isso apresentam problemas que comprometem a visibilidade institucional.

Les investisseurs n’exploitent pas toujours toute l’information disponible lorsqu’ils prennent des décisions, en raison à la fois d’une surabondance de l’information et de capacités cognitives limitées. Le premier essai de cette thèse montre que les sociétés tirent parti de l’inattention des investisseurs en communiquant plus ou moins longtemps à l’avance la date à laquelle aura lieu les annonces de résultats. Des résultats positifs sont notifiés très en amont tandis que des résultats décevants font l’objet d’un délai de notification plus court. Le second essai traite de la visibilité internationale des sociétés et étudie l’impact d’une communication en anglais via des canaux de diffusion à grande échelle. Cette diffusion plus large augmente l’attention des investisseurs et les informations contenues dans les annonces de résultat sont plus rapidement intégrées dans le prix des titres. Le troisième essai traite des conséquences d’une visibilité accrue des sociétés sur leur politique d’investissement. Une diffusion élargie des informations financières améliore à la fois l’environnement informationnel des sociétés et l’efficacité de leur politique d’investissement. / Investors often fail to incorporate all relevant information when they make decisions. This is a consequence of both information overload and investors’ limited cognitive abilities. The first essay shows that firms take advantage of investors’ inattention by managing the advance notice period of earnings announcements. Firms notify the date of positive earnings announcement several weeks in advance while disappointing earnings are notified at late notice. The second essay deals with firms’ international visibility and studies how communicating on English-speaking wire services impacts investors’ attention. Higher dissemination of news increases investors’ attention and improves the incorporation of information into stock prices. The third essay deals with the effects of firms’ visibility on investment policy. It shows that higher dissemination of disclosures improves firms’ informational environment and investment efficiency.

Cette thèse traite la problématique de la dissémination et l’agrégation des données dans un contexte de réseaux VANET (Vehicle Ad-Hoc Networks). Cette problématique est fort intéressante, toujours d’actualité dans un monde de plus en plus urbanisé. En effet, d’un côté la dissémination permet d’informer les véhicules mobiles des principaux événements en temps utile, et de l’autre côté l’agrégation permet de résumer plusieurs données émanant de sources différentes concernant le même événement. Le challenge de la dissémination consiste à calculer la zone de relevance d’un événement, de délivrer les messages aux véhicules de cette zone, et de continuer à délivrer les messages en continu aux véhicules de cette zone. Le challenge de l’agrégation consiste essentiellement à sélectionner les messages à agréger et à qualifier les messages provenant de véhicules lointains. Pour résoudre le problème de dissémination nous proposons un nouveau protocole de dissémination des données dans les réseaux VANET. La principale idée de ce protocole est basée sur la définition de zones de relevance ZOR (zone of relevance of a région) pour la mesure de l’intérêt d’une zone par rapport à un évènement donné, et la définition de split Map permettant de décomposer une grande région en un ensemble de ZORs. L’approche de calcul des ZORs est formalisée, elle est basée sur les techniques de greedy pour l’extraction de la couverture pertinente. Le protocole de dissémination présenté sous forme de diagramme Flowchart qui résumé les activités lorsque qu’un véhicule est en mouvement, un événement est détecté. La performance du protocole proposé est évaluée et comparé au protocole Slotted1-Persistence à travers un environnement de simulations et une topologie réelle de routes de la ville de Bizerte en Tunisie. Les résultats de simulation sont présentés et discutés.D’autre part, certaines applications VANET, par exemple le système d’information de trafic (TIS), nécessitent une agrégation de données pour informer les véhicules des conditions de circulation, ce qui réduit les embouteillages et par conséquent les émissions de CO2 Par conséquent, la conception d'un protocole d'agrégation efficace combinant des informations de trafic corrélées telles que l'emplacement, la vitesse et la direction, appelées données flottantes sur les voitures (FCD), pose un problème complexe. Dans cette thèse, nous introduisons un nouveau protocole d’agrégation de données dans un réseau VANET appelé SDDA (Smart Directional Data Aggregation). Ce protocole est dédié aussi bien à l’échange de données dans un contexte urbain et autoroutier. Le protocole proposé est basé sur une sélection des messages à agréger. Trois principaux filtres ont été utilisés : filtrage basé sur la direction des véhicules, filtrage basé sur la limitation de vitesse, et filtrage basé sur l’élimination des messages dupliqués. Trois algorithmes d’agrégation sont proposés, ils visent à optimiser l’algorithme de SOTIS. Les trois algorithmes traitent des cas de routes unidirectionnelles, bidirectionnelles et les réseaux urbains. A l’image du chapitre précédent, la performance des algorithmes proposés sont évaluées à travail un travail de simulation et différents résultats sont présentés et discutés. / Since the last decade, the emergence of affordable wireless devices in vehicle ad-hoc networks has been a key step towards improving road safety as well as transport efficiency. Informing vehicles about interesting safety and non-safety events is of key interest. Thus, the design of an efficient data dissemination protocol has been of paramount importance. A careful scrutiny of the pioneering vehicle-to-vehicle data dissemination approaches highlights that geocasting is the most feasible approach for VANET applications, more especially in safety applications, since safety events are of interest mainly to vehicles located within a specific area, commonly called ZOR or Zone Of Relevance, close to the event. Indeed, the most challenging issue in geocast protocols is the definition of the ZOR for a given event dissemination. In this thesis, our first contribution introduces a new geocast approach, called Data Dissemination Protocol based on Map Splitting(DPMS). The main thrust of DPMS consists of building the zones of relevance through the mining of correlations between vehicles’ trajectories and crossed regions. To do so, we rely on the Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), which is a method of extracting interesting clusters from relational data. The performed experiments show that DPMS outperforms its competitors in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. In another hand, some VANET applications, e.g., Traffic Information System (TIS), require data aggregation in order to inform vehicles about road traffic conditions, which leads to reduce traffic jams and consequently CO2 emission while increasing the user comfort. Therefore, the design of an efficient aggregation protocol that combines correlated traffic information like location, speed and direction known as Floating Car Data (FCD) is a challenging issue. In this thesis, we introduce a new TIS data aggregation protocol called Smart Directional Data Aggregation (SDDA) able to decrease the network overload while obtaining high accurate information on traffic conditions for large road sections. To this end, we introduce three levels of messages filtering: (i) filtering all FCD messages before the aggregation process based on vehicle directions and road speed limitations, (ii) integrating a suppression technique in the phase of information gathering in order to eliminate the duplicate data, and (iii) aggregating the filtered FCD data and then disseminating it to other vehicles. The performed experiments show that the SDDA outperforms existing approaches in terms of effectiveness and efficiency.

Le virus de la maladie de Marek (MDV) est un α-herpèsvirus aviaire responsable de lymphomes chez la poule. En absence de virions libres détectables en culture cellulaire, il est couramment admis que ce virus se dissémine uniquement de cellule à cellule par un mécanisme non identifié à ce jour. Mon travail de thèse comprenait 3 parties. La première avait pour objectif d’étudier la contribution des contacts cellulaires et de possibles virions extracellulaires dans la dissémination de MDV. La seconde partie visait à étudier le rôle du cytosquelette d’actine dans la dissémination intercellulaire du MDV et l’implication des voies de signalisation des RhoGTPases. J’ai montré que l’activité de la voie Rho-ROCK favorise la dissémination du MDV au contraire de la voie Rac-PAK. Un possible lien entre la dissémination du MDV et les jonctions adhérentes, maintenues par l’activité de la voie Rho-ROCK, est discuté. Enfin, la troisième partie avait pour but le développement d’un nouveau test de dissémination entre cellules sur un cycle viral unique. Pour cela, j’ai construit un virus MDV rapporteur inductible et des lignées cellulaires aviaires exprimant une flippase. / Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is an avian α-herpesvirus which is responsible for lymphomas in chicken. In absence of detectable cell-free virions in cell culture, it is well admit that this virus only spread from cell-to-cell. The involved mechanisms remain unknown. My thesis work was divided in three parts. The objectives of the first one were to study the contribution of cell contacts and of potential extracellular infectious virions on MDV spread. The second part aimed at studying the role of the actin cytoskeleton in MDV intercellular spread and the involvement of RhoGTPase signaling pathways. I showed that the Rho-ROCK signaling pathway promotes the dissemination in contrast to the Rac-PAK signaling pathway. A possible link between MDV spread and adherens junctions, maintained by Rho-ROCK signaling, is discussed. The third and last part had the purpose to develop a new assay of MDV spread between cells on a single viral cycle. For this, I built an inducible reporter MDV virus and avian cell lines expressing a flippase.

Les recherches consacrées aux points fixes à haute température (PFHT) ont été intensifiées depuis 1996, suite à une recommandation du Comité Consultatif de Thermométrie de développer des références au-delà de 2000 °C. Les Laboratoires Nationaux de Métrologie se sont alors engagés dans le développement de PFHT construits à partir d'alliages de métal et de carbone. Ces points fixes ont montré des transitions de phase à des températures reproductibles indépendamment de la proportion de carbone dans le métal. Les projets internationaux qui ont suivis les premiers developpements ont permis d'accroitre la robustesse et la stabilité à long terme des points fixes et ont mis en évidence l'importance des conditions thermiques de mise en œuvre. Aujourd'hui ces points fixes montrent une reproductibilité de l'ordre de 0.1 °C et sont en voie de renforcer l'exactitude des mesures pyrométriques aux plus hautes températures, jusqu'ici limitée par l'incertitude d'extrapolation dans l'Echelle Internationale de Température (EIT-90). Un projet de mesure par voie radiométrique de la température thermodynamique des PFHT les plus étudiés a été récemment mené. Les résulats de ces mesures absolues permettent aujourd'hui d'aborder la future mise-en-pratique du kelvin à haute température, par des méthodes de dissémination directe de la température thermodynamique sans recours à l'EIT-90. Ce document décrit les principales étapes depuis la conception de ces nouvelles références, jusqu'à la mesure de leur température thermodynamique. / Research dedicated to high-temperature-fixed-points (HTFPs) have been intensified since 1996, further to a recommendation of the Consultative Committee for Thermometry to develop references above 2000 °C. National Laboratories of Metrology envolved in the development of HTFPs based on metal-carbon alloys. These fixed points showed phase transitions at reproducible temperatures independently to the proportion of carbon in the metal. The international projects that followed the first developments allowed increasing the robustness and the long-term stability of the fixed points and highlighted the importance of the thermal conditions of implementation. Today these fixed points show a reproducibility of about 0.1 °C and are on the way to strengthen the accuracy of radiation thermometry measurements at high temperatures, up to now, limited by the uncertainty of the International Temperature Scale (ITS-90). A project to measure the thermodynamic temperature of the most studied HTFPs by a radiometric method was recently led. Results of this absolute measurement is a step towards the future mise en pratique of the kelvin at high temperature, by a direct dissemination of the thermodynamic temperature without any link to the ITS-90. This document describes the main steps from the conception of these new references, up to the measurement of their thermodynamic temperature.

This study attempts to offer a reading of Msimang's poetry from the perspective of deconstruction. In this course it is necessary to introduce and elaborate on certain deconstruction strategies. This is mainly effected in the second chapter, where consideration is given to diachronic and synchronic perspectives on deconstruction. However, not all the ramifications of the various radical insights offered by deconstructive approaches into the various fields are explored, only the significant texts by mainly French theorists and their American disciples are investigated. Secondly, this study seeks to show that the Zulu poems under consideration are highly amenable to a deconstruction reading. This thesis examines the various practices to absorb, transform, and integrate deconstruction and to make the theory applicable as a critical method within the African languages critical environment. In the third chapter, I am chiefly concerned with the claim that a text never has a single meaning, but is a crossroads of multiple ambiguous meanings. Explaining the historical context, the interdisciplinary scope, and the philosophical significance of Derrida' s project are explored in the fourth chapter. Language has no determinate centre nor any retrievable origin or truth. Belief in such is no more than nostalgia, says Derrida. What actually exists is a complex network of differences between signifiers, each in some sense carrying the traces of all others. With psychoanalysis in the fourth chapter, the focus is not on the differences between the deconstructive and psychoanalytic critics, but on their shared assumption that works ofliterature are in some sense indeterminate. These properties lead to the sixth chapter, which deals with intertextuality according to Derrida, Barthes and Bloom. The seventh and last chapter is the general conclusion in which main observations are summarized and important aspects highlighted. Finally, this thesis attempts to illustrate why the deconstructive procedure of analysing texts in such a way as to explicate their partial complicity with the theory, makes this deconstructive reading of Msimang' s poetry possible. / African Languages / D.Litt. et Phil.

The main point observed was the knowledge dissemination process and its consistency between the discourse and practice of cooperative principle - education, training and information - as a differentiator in knowledge management and organizational model. The study was intended to answer three questions: (a) how the knowledge dissemination process occurs in cooperative organizations, (b) what the perception of employees in relation to the knowledge dissemination process is and (c) as a cooperative organization invests in development of their intellectual capital. Thus the general aim was to verify, from the cooperative principles, the knowledge process used in COCAMAR-PR cooperative; the specific objectives were (1) identify how the knowledge dissemination process occurs, (2) identify the collaborators perception in relation to knowledge dissemination process and (3) verify how the knowledge dissemination process serves the prerogatives of the three principles cited above. The method chosen was the case study, whose cooperative is located in Maringa, Parana. The survey is characterized as being exploratory and descriptive. The results obtained in the research intended to demonstrate the increasing distance of the cooperative from one of its fundamental principles, despite having an intensive professional training schedule.(AU) / A presente pesquisa propõe um estudo teórico-empírico em torno da gestão do conhecimento, tendo como recorte o processo de disseminação do conhecimento e a coerência entre o discurso e a prática do princípio cooperativista (educação, formação e informação) como diferenciador na gestão do conhecimento e no modelo organizacional cooperativista. O estudo destina-se a responder três questões: a) como ocorre o processo de disseminação do conhecimento em organizações cooperativas; b) qual a percepção dos colaboradores em relação ao processo de disseminação do conhecimento; e c) como a organização cooperativa investe no desenvolvimento de seu capital intelectual a partir do princípio cooperativista: educação, formação e informação. Assim, o objetivo geral é verificar o processo do conhecimento gestado na cooperativa COCAMAR- PR a partir do princípio cooperativista: educação, formação e informação, enquanto os objetivos específicos foram: levantar como ocorre o processo de disseminação do conhecimento a partir do princípio cooperativista educação, formação e informação ; identificar a percepção dos colabores em relação ao processo de disseminação do conhecimento; e verificar como o processo de disseminação do conhecimento atende às prerrogativas do princípio cooperativista educação, formação e informação . A metodologia escolhida é o estudo de caso, em que se estuda uma organização cooperativa localizada na cidade de Maringá, Estado Paraná. A pesquisa realizada caracteriza-se como um estudo de caso, exploratória e descritiva. Os resultados auferidos na pesquisa pretendem demonstrar o distanciamento da cooperativa em estudo de um de seus princípios fundamentais, embora possua um programa intensivo de capacitação profissional.(AU)
