In this thesis I interrogate the possibility of 'willing and social' work participation in industrial organisation. I draw on Habermas's (1976, 1979, 1984 & 1987) work to synthesise marxist and weberian ideas, and to derive a socio -cultural or cultural Marxist perspective on Capitalism. From this position I highlight the limitations of social action in theories of organisation and work. Moreover, I theoretically derive a model of work participation that acknowledges broader orientations to work. I interrogate that model of work participation in a study of four dominant forms of industrial organisation. Those organisations are SEQEB the South East Queensland Energy Board, Eagle Boy Pizzas in Queensland, the New South Sugar Milling Cooperative Ltd, and Budge -Ellis Staff Co-operative. Gathering data for this study involved both primary and secondary research. I used a comparative and longitudinal field research approach, unstructured interviews with an interview guide, and the collection of documents recommended by interviewees. I interviewed people working in the organisations and relevant government agencies. My research involved travel in Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. Ultimately, I produce a sociologically informed model for the establishment of 'willing and social' work participation. I conclude work participation exists within the context of capitalism, and social relations - either formally free or free; that work participation is directly influenced by rational configurations of the world of work comprising economic, political and social worldviews; and I argue the dominance of a worldview depends on whether the political action premises of buffering and shoring successfully neutralise competing worldviews; and whether the moral dictums or espoused values of work are prescribed or invoked and result in the exploitation or deployment of internal values. My thesis points in the direction of further work on co-operative forms of organisation and work and their commonweal ideologies. In particular, my findings demonstrate a crowding out of co-operative forms and ideologies, not only by capitalist forms but also by trade union collectives. The type of research I suggest has the potential to increase the legitimation of co-operative forms of organisation. Although, the Australian co-operative movement has many achievements there remains the problem of establishing a socially progressive rationality that makes practical or operational sense to people at work. The emancipator ideal of willing and social work participation is intended to epitomise the goals of the enlightenment project, and to lead in that direction.

We are interested in questioning the use that undergraduate students and teachers make of ICT, both in the social context as in training. We assume that the moves of the so-called "information society " are pressuring institutions - including educational institutions - to incorporate ICT into their practices, as well as in different contexts of social and professional life. At the same time, enrollment in the educational system by a generation of students who grew up in a digital culture and society demands teaching and learning processes where these technologies can be incorporated, not in the material or instrumental sense, but as a form of a culture. In this sense, we assume, on one hand, that the uses of ICT in different contexts - social and training - are essential to cement the incorporation of these technologies in educational practices and, on the other hand, the importance of the teacher in this process and therefore the relevance of initial teacher training for the living experience on the use of ICT. In the survey, we found that, beyond the gap of teacher‟s knowledge and uses of ICT towards their students, the university, in general, has contributed little to these living experiences. At the same time, the uses that are made of ICT in the context of initial training reflect a dichotomy between policies for integrating ICT in schools and preparing new teachers to work in these contexts, because these are predominantly instrumental and restrictive uses, even among students. Despite the perceived importance that ICT takes among students and teachers, its use as a mere work tool limits the experience on the potential of their use in teaching practices of future teachers / A presente dissertação decorre de uma investigação sobre a presença das TIC (Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação) nos processos de formação inicial de professores, nas universidades públicas de Santa Catarina. Interessou-nos problematizar os usos que estudantes e professores dos cursos de licenciatura fazem das TIC, tanto no contexto social quanto no âmbito da formação. Partimos do pressuposto que os movimentos da dita sociedade da informação pressionam as instituições entre elas as instituições educativas a incorporarem as TIC em suas práticas, assim como acontece em diferentes contextos da vida social e profissional. Ao mesmo tempo, o ingresso no sistema educacional de uma geração de estudantes que cresceu em uma sociedade e cultura digitais demanda processos de ensino e aprendizagem onde estas tecnologias possam ser incorporadas, não no sentido material ou instrumental, mas como uma forma de cultura. Neste sentido, assumimos, por um lado, que os usos das TIC em diferentes contextos sociais e formativos são essenciais para sedimentar a incorporação destas tecnologias nas práticas educativas e, por outro lado, a importância do professor neste processo e, portanto, a relevância da formação inicial de professores para a vivência de experiências sobre o uso das TIC. Na pesquisa realizada constatamos que, além da defasagem dos conhecimentos e sobre usos das TIC dos professores em relação aos seus estudantes, a universidade, de um modo geral, pouco tem contribuído para a vivência destas experiências. Ao mesmo tempo, os usos que são feitos das TIC no contexto da formação inicial refletem uma dicotomia entre as políticas de inserção das TIC nas escolas e a preparação de novos professores para atuarem nestes contextos, pois tratam-se de usos predominantemente instrumentais e restritivos, mesmo entre os estudantes. Apesar da percepção de importância que as TIC assumem entre estudantes e professores, seu uso como mera ferramenta de trabalho limita a experiência sobre as potencialidades de seu emprego nas práticas docentes dos futuros-professores

Porém, a execução desta modalidade de ensino, todavia não está claramente efetivada. Com uma visão mais específica sob o Curso Técnico em Agropecuária – Integrado no Câmpus Pelotas – Visconde da Graça, percebe-se a ausência de articulação entre as disciplinas que compõem o Ensino Médio com as que compreendem o Ensino Técnico, neste caso a disciplina de Biologia. Neste viés, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo verificar a percepção dos professores do Curso Técnico em Agropecuária com relação ao princípio integrador na sua prática docente no Ensino Médio Integrado. Para tanto, optou-se pó uma pesquisa qualitativa delineada através de uma pesquisa documental e o estudo de caso. A investigação proposta foi realizada com professores do Curso Técnico em Agropecuária que ministrassem disciplinas que, de alguma forma, fossem relacionadas com o Ensino de Biologia. Como coleta de dados, utilizou-se a análise dos documentos oficiais que regem a instituição e entrevistas com os referidos professores. Os dados foram analisados de forma qualitativa através da análise de conteúdo registrado na degravação das entrevistas. Ao final deste estudo, aponta-se como necessária a ampliação das discussões, dentro do Curso Técnico em Agropecuária, sobre o princípio integrador, juntamente com as definições estabelecidas nos documentos norteadores (PPC, PPI). / Secondary School applied with technical education is legally presented as a way to qualify students/citizens for both life and work. However, the implementation of this form of education is not clearly effective. With a more specific vision on the Agricultural Technical Course - Integrated in Visconde da Graça – Campus Pelotas, one notices the absence of association between disciplines that make up the Secondary School with those of technical education, in this case, the discipline of Biology. Going through this direction, this study aims to determine the perception of the teachers of Agricultural Technical Course regarding the integrating principle in their teaching practice in Integrated Secondary School. To obtain the results, it was applied a qualitative research through research of documents and a case study. The proposed research was carried out with Agricultural Technical Course teachers who minister disciplines that somehow were related to Biology teaching. As data collection, it was used the analysis of official documents about the institution rules and interviews with the teachers. Data were analyzed qualitatively through analysis of the recorded interviews. At the end of this study, it is pointed out the necessity of expansion of the discussions, in the Agricultural Technical Course, about integration, along with the definitions set out in the guiding documents PPC (from Portuguese Plano Pedagógico de Curso) and PPI (from Portuguese Projeto Pedagógico Institucional).

Les simulations numériques réalistes en électrophysiologie cardiaque ont un coût de calcul extrêmement élevé. Ce coût s’explique en grande partie par la raideur, à la fois en temps et en espace, d’une onde de « potentiel d’action » (PA). Par ailleurs, les phénomènes observés sont très instationnaires et s’étudient en temps long. Une description précise de la dynamique des PA est cruciale pour construire des modèles numériques pertinents d’un point de vue médical ou clinique. Cet aspect fondamental ne peut être contourné dans les études numériques réalistes.La raideur de l’onde de PA ne peut être captée numériquement qu’en ayant recours à des maillages très fins. Ces maillages très fins induisent un coût de calcul très important, et introduisent aussi des erreurs supplémentaires : les systèmes linéaires à résoudre deviennent très mal conditionnés. Au final, les erreurs numériques peuvent être particulièrement grandes dans les simulations alors que leur contrôle est évidemment essentiel pour assurer la fiabilité des résultats. Jusqu’à présent, très peu de résultats sont disponibles pour assurer cette fiabilité. Dans les faits, les erreurs sont la plupart du temps contrôlées par des procédés empiriques. Il existe quelques résultats théoriques étudiant la convergence et la stabilité des schémas numériques associés. En pratique, en plus d'avoir un contrôle de l'erreur sur le potentiel, il est aussi nécessaire d'avoir un contrôle de l’erreur sur des quantités macroscopiques décrivant la dynamique de l’onde de PA : temps d’activation, durée du PA, propriétés de restitution... Ces quantités ont en effet une interprétation physiologique qui permet de caractériser le caractère arythmogène des tissus.Les modèles sont des systèmes d’EDP de réaction-diffusion couplés avec des systèmes d’équations différentielles pouvant être très raides, les modèles ioniques. Ils sont actuellement discrétisés par éléments finis conforme (Lagrange) et par des schémas en temps d’ordre un ou deux. Dans ce travail, nous concevons et évaluons l’intérêt d'utiliser des méthodes d’ordre supérieure pour ces systèmes. Parallèlement nous introduisons d'une part une nouvelle classe de schémas appelé schémas exponentiel Adams Bashforth intégral (IEAB), et d'autre part des schémas Rush Larsen (RL) d'ordre élevé. Ces nouveaux schémas sont des schémas multipas de type exponentiels. Nous montrons qu'ils possèdent des bonnes propriétés de stabilité et permettent de faire face efficacement à la raideur des modèles ioniques. Les schémas que nous proposons sont comparés numériquement (en terme de précision, coût en temps de calcul et stabilité) à plusieurs schémas classiques, ainsi qu'aux schémas exponentiels (RL1, RL2) communément utilisés pour des simulations en électrophysiologie cardiaque. Nous proposons des techniques permettant de calculer avec précision les quantités d’intérêts cliniques (temps d’activation, de récupération, durée du potentiel d’action). Des résultats théoriques de convergence en temps et de convergence globale (espace et temps) sont énoncés et prouvés. Ces résultats sont ensuite illustrés numériquement à travers le modèle monodomaine et les modèles ioniques de Beeler Reuter, de Ten Tusscher et al. L’intérêt d'utiliser des schémas d'ordre élevés est aussi évalué sur des ondes spirales en 2D et 3D. / Realistic numerical simulations in cardiac electrophysiology have a computational cost of extremely high. This cost is largely explained by the stiffness both in time and space, of the action potential (AP) wave. Moreover, the observed phenomena are very unsteady and are studied in long time. A precise description of the dynamic of AP is crucial for constructing relevant numerical models, from a medical or clinical perspective. This fundamental aspect can not be circumvented in realistic numerical studies.The stiffness of AP wave can only be captured numerically, by using very fine meshes. In addition to the high computational cost, these very fine meshes also introduce additional errors : the linear systems to solve become very badly conditioned. In the end, the numerical errors can be particularly large whereas their control is obviously essential to ensure the reliability of the results. So far very few results are available to ensure this reliability. In practice, the errors are mostly controlled by empirical processes. In practice, in addition of having a control of the error on the potential, it is also necessary to have an error control on macroscopic quantities describing the dynamics of the AP wave : activation time, AP duration, properties of restitution ... These quantities have indeed a physiological interpretation which allows to characterize the arrhythmogenic character of the tissues.The models are systems of reaction diffusion PDE coupled with systems of differential equations that can be very stiffs (ionic models). They are currently discretized by conforming finite elements (Lagrange finite elements methods) and by schemes in time of order one or two. In this work, we design and evaluate the interest of using higher order methods for these systems. At the same time, we introduce on the one hand, a new class of schemes called Integral Exponential Adams Bashforth (IEAB) schemes and, on the other hand, high order Rush Larsen (RL) schemes. These new schemes are exponential time-stepping schemes. We show that they have good stability properties and can efficiently cope with the stiffness of ionic models. The schemes we propose are numerically compared (in terms of accuracy, CPU time and stability) with several classical schemes, as well as with the exponential schemes (RL1, RL2), commonly used for cardiac electrophysiology simulations. We propose good techniques for accurately calculating quantities of clinical interest (activation time, recovery time, duration of action potential). Theoretical results of convergence in time and global convergence (in space and time) are stated and proved. These results are then illustrated numerically through the monodomain model and the ionic models of Beeler Reuter, Ten Tusscher et al. The advantage of using high order schemes is also evaluated on spiral waves in 2D and 3D.

Pour réaliser des simulations précises aux temps longs pour des vagues non linéaires, il faut faire appel à des algorithmes d’évolution temporelle précis. En particulier, la combinaison d’un pas de temps adaptatif avec un facteur intégrant est connue pour être très efficace. Nous proposons une modification de cette technique. Le principe consiste à soustraire un certain polynôme à une EDP. Puis, comme pour le facteur intégrant, nous faisons un changement de variable pour retirer la partie linéaire. Mais nous espérons retirer quelque chose de plus afin de rendre l’EDP moins raide pour les calculs numériques. Le polynôme choisi est une expansion de Taylor autour du temps initial de la solution. Afin de calculer les différentes dérivées nécessaires, nous utilisons le Dense Output qui donne la possibilité d’approximer les dérivées de la solution à tout temps. Une fois le facteur intégrant modifié appliqué, nous faisons appel à une avance temporelle classique afin de résoudre l’équation d’évolution. Il a été considéré plusieurs schémas de Runge-Kutta avec pas de temps adaptatif. Nous avons tiré avantage des méthodes emboîtées, afin de ne pas calculer de nouvelles fonctions et perdre du temps de calcul, en utilisant uniquement des données déjà calculées durant l’évolution temporelle. Les résultats numériques montrent que l’efficacité de notre méthode varie selon les cas. Par exemple, nous avons vérifié que plus le profil de l’onde est pentue, plus notre méthode est efficace. Pour le modèle de vagues non linéaires le plus compliqué à notre disposition, le modèle HOS, nous avons pu réduire le nombre de pas de temps de calcul jusqu’à près de 30 % avec un schéma de Runge-Kutta de Dormand-Prince et jusqu’à plus de 99 % pour un schéma de Bogacki-Shampine. / Efficient time stepping algorithms are crucial for accurate long time simulations of nonlinear waves. In particular, adaptive time stepping combined with an integrating factor are known to be very effective. We propose a modification of the existing technique. The trick consists in subtracting a certain-order polynomial to a PDE. Then, like for the integrating factor, a change of variables is performed to remove the linear part. But, here, we hope to remove something more to make the PDE less stiff to numerical resolution. The polynomial is chosen as a Taylor expansion around the initial time of the solution. In order to calculate the different derivatives, we use a dense output which gives a possibility to approximate the derivatives of the solution at any time. The modified integrating factor being applied, a classical time-stepping method can be used to solve the remaining equation. We focus on various Runge-Kutta schemes with a varying step size. We take advantage of embedded methods and use an evolved adaptive step control. We do not need to calculate new functions and loose time of calculation only by using already estimated values during the temporal evolution. Numerical tests show that the actual efficiency of the method varies along cases. For example, we verified that steeper waves profiles give rise to better behaviour of the method. For fully nonlinear water wave simulations with the HOS model, we can save up to 30% of total time steps with a Dormand-Prince Runge-Kutta scheme and we can save up to 99% with the Bogacki-Shampine scheme.

This study reveals the impact of an exemplar narrative arts learning programme on the self-concept of Grade 9 learners in the Life Orientation classroom. The episodic narrative arts learning programme was designed in response to a suggestion in the government guidelines for Life Orientation and merged the outcomes for Arts and Culture and Life Orientation. The aims of narrative counselling were employed to allow the learners to tell their stories to themselves and others. The arts component, based on the arts therapies, allowed the learners an opportunity to give visual substance to their individual and collective narratives through arts activities that occurred within a small group. Brief video recordings were made of each group’s interactions during the narrative arts episodes in order to compile an edited video overview of the process that could be screened for the learners on completion of the programme. The aims of positive psychology were embedded in the structure and design of the arts episodes and activities. This is an interpretive study with a phenomenological focus, because the lived experiences of the participants and the teacher-researcher are paramount and the narrative element in the study necessitates the inclusion of the postmodern paradigm. This qualitative arts-based research project is based on a two-month Life Orientation learning programme that occurred during school hours on the grounds of a faith-based school. Forty-seven learners were divided into six small groups of approximately eight learners each in which they remained for the duration of the programme and were assigned to a specific teacher-facilitator. Fourteen learners volunteered to participate in four rounds of interviews, which were conducted with each participant to determine the impact of the narrative arts activities on the self-concept over the course of the programme. The transcribed interview responses were interpreted and classified according to five predetermined self-concept domains established by an examination of literature. Data analysis occurred in four cycles which align with the four rounds of interviews. Two data analysis approaches were employed and the data triangulated: a scientifically-accountable and a more intuitive approach. Findings based on the interpreted interview responses of these 14 participants indicate that the exemplar narrative arts programme primarily impacted on two self-concept domains, namely the social and personal-emotional domains. The participants’ self-descriptors revealed that the small group arts activity context allowed them to become gradually more other focused and stimulated varied measures of self-insight and self-growth. Once the limitations are recognised, the study could contribute to the inclusion of more arts-based assignments in Life Orientation programmes to aid the development of self-concept, the inclusion of this particular exemplar approach in more educational settings, openness to “team teaching” in the high school and more innovative applications of video recording within an educational or research setting. The exemplar narrative arts approach is a means for strengthening psychological support services in the school, because it reinforces the formulation of identity by allowing learners an opportunity to become actively busy writing and living their life stories / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Educational Psychology / unrestricted

Denna studie ämnar undersöka hur styrsystem från Siemens som inte ingår i ordinarie produktbibliotek till deras processkontrollsystem PCS 7 kan integreras. Integreringen kommer utföras med hjälp av ett tilläggspaket till PCS 7, SIMATIC PCS7/Open OS. Styrsystemen som ska integreras i detta arbete är vanligt förekommande på industrier idag, SIMATIC S7-300/1500. Dessa styrs normalt inte via processkontrollsystem, mer vanligt är att de styrs lokalt via en operatörspanel intill maskinen. Genom att integrera dessa till processkontrollsystem kommer de att kunna styras från större kontrollrum, samtidigt som fördelarna med att integrera moderna styrsystem med ny teknik erhålls i produktionen. En annan del av studien har för avsikt att jämföra tidigare fall av liknande integreringar där andra typer av tekniker har använts. Dessa fall har visat att det finns idag standardiserade tekniker för att integrera enstaka fältenheter så att dessa kan hanteras av övergripande kontrollsystem. I en av studierna som undersöks, där det har gjorts försök att integrera funktionen av ett styrsystem som kontrollerar flertalet fältenheter, finns det enligt studien begränsningar i tekniken som används. Enligt Siemens AG ska dock tillägget SIMATIC PCS 7/Open OS klara att integrera ett styrsystem med dess fulla funktionalitet till processkontrollsystemet PCS 7. Resultatet av arbetet visar att integrering av styrsystemen till PCS 7 genom att använda tillägget är möjlig och styrsystemets fulla funktion kunde erhållas från ett PCS7-HMI. För att integreringen med tilläggspaketet ska ske smidigare rekommenderas att förberedelser, såsom att skapa bibliotek både i PCS 7 och i styrsystemet utförs innan integreringsarbetet påbörjas. Biblioteken bör innehålla funktionsblock förexempelvis motordrifter i styrsystemet och grafikelement som motsvarar dessa i PCS7. / This study will focus on how Siemens controllers that are not listed in the productlibrary of the process control system PCS 7, can be integrated. The integration willbe performed using an option for PCS 7 (SIMATIC PCS 7/Open OS). The controllers to be integrated in this work are commonly found in industries today, the Siemens controllers SIMATIC S7-300/1500. These are usually not controlled from a processcontrol system, they are more commonly controlled via an operator panel next to the machine. By integrating these controllers into the process control system, they can be controlled from larger control rooms, and the production will acquire the benefits of using modern controllers. Previous cases with similar components, where other integration techniques was used has been evaluated. In these cases the integration have shown that there are today standardized techniques for integrating single field devices so that they can be managed by process control systems. In another study investigated, where attempts have been made to integrate the function of a controller that is controlling several field devices, the study showed limitations in the technique used. According to Siemens AG however, SIMATIC PCS 7/Open OS will be able to integrate acontroller with its complete functionality into the process control system PCS 7. The result of the work shows that integration of the controllers to PCS 7 by using the option package is possible, and the controller could be fully operated from a PCS 7-HMI. In order to make the integration with the optional package more user-friendly, it is recommended that preparations be made before integrating. Such as preparing a library in both PCS 7 and in the controller to be integrated, which are containing for example function blocks in the controller side and graphic elements corresponding to these function blocks in the PCS 7-HMI side.

The integration and evangelisation of the minority groups in Zimbabwe in general, and in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in particular poses a challenge. The situation has become more acute after independence. Evidently, the socio-political atmosphere in Zimbabwe has not ameliorated the condition. Certainly, challenges stem from issues concerning racial prejudice, finances, cultural differences, as well as worship styles. While the efforts of the current multicultural ministries are appreciated, the results of the survey indicate that a lot still needs to be done. First, the organizational structure of the ministry needs to be reviewed. Such a review is relevant in order to check and regulate the balance and distribution of power, control and authority. Second, the need for the recruitment of leaders from within the minority groups themselves especially from the white population was clearly articulated. Third, it may be necessary to approach the whole issue from a social standpoint, so as to formulate theological strategies. Apparently, the social distance is more pronounced than the theological one. In addition, integration and evangelisation specifically among the Coloured population is further compounded by the split, which occurred in the early 1990s. Most of the Sabbath-Keeping Adventists from this group anticipate challenges if they would opt to merge with the national Conference. Some of the major barriers to such a step revolve around issues of properties, finances, and positions as well as the general upkeep of the workers. Unless, these apprehensions are clarified and the fears are allayed, integration seems enigmatic. Ecclesiological unity and theological unity in diversity seem to be eclipsed by racial solidarity and socio-economic and political expediency. Similarly, the reconciliation among the black majority itself, also needs a close and deliberate attention from both the church and society in Zimbabwe. For that reason, tribalism, racism, ethnicity, nepotism and any other discrimination should not be tolerated, first and foremost by the church and second, by all peace loving Zimbabweans (Gal 3:28). The reconstruction of the cultural landscape in Zimbabwe demands an affirmation of the common destiny for all Zimbabweans. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)
