Kommunalt naturskydd som en del av markanvändningsplaneringen : en fallstudie av olika synsätt i samband med upphävande av naturreservat

Bergkvist, Tomas January 2007 (has links)
<p>In metropolitan areas where the exploitation pressure increases, also the importance to point out nature areas grows, both for the sake of outdoor life and for biodiversity conservation. Since nature conservancy and spatial planning constitute two different parts of the municipalities land use control, a case study has been carried out in two municipalities in the Stockholm region, Huddinge and Järfälla. Both these municipalities have protected about one third of their land and today there are plans to repeal parts of the reserves to enable exploitation. This thesis shows – from the theoretical concept of sustainable development – officials, politicians and non-governmental organizations perspectives on questions concerning land use together with the work with nature reserves and repeals. The study focuses on how different basic attitudes and paradigms emphasizes different aspects of sustainable development and how this in turn affects the work to repeal nature reserves. Interviews with stakeholders in the municipalities and documents concerning land use and nature reserves demonstrates that there is distinct differences between the planning-paradigm, based on spatial planning, and the environmental-paradigm, based on nature conservation. From the planning-paradigm it is considered that nature reserves had to big impact on the munici­pality's land use and that valuable nature more frequently should be protected by the Swedish planning and building act. From the environmental-paradigms view the nature conservancy is – and should also in the future be – an important tool in the long-term prevention to stop valuable nature from being exploited. The thesis also stresses the importance to in the work with repeals take all effects that this kind of decision can lead to into account – not just in the repealed area but also for the future work with nature reserves on the whole.</p> / <p>I storstadsregioner där exploateringstrycket blir allt större, ökar också vikten av att peka ut naturområden, både för det rörliga friluftslivet samt för bevarande av den biologiska mångfalden. Utifrån det att naturskydd samt fysisk planering utgör varsin del av kommuners styrning av mark­användningen har en fallstudie genomförts i två kommuner i Stockholmsregionen, Huddinge och Järfälla. Båda dessa kommuner har skyddat ungefär en tredjedel av kommunens mark och idag finns planer på att upphäva delar av reservaten för att där möjliggöra exploatering. Uppsatsen visar – utifrån det teoretiska begreppet hållbar utveckling – hur tjänstemän, politiker och intresse­organisationer ser på markanvändningsfrågor samt arbetet med naturreservat och upphävande. Studien fokuserar på hur olika grundinställningar och paradigm lyfter fram olika aspekter av hållbar utveckling samt hur detta i sin tur påverkar arbetet med att upphäva naturreservat. Intervjuer med kommunala aktörer samt dokument rörande markanvändning och naturreservat visar att det finns tydliga skillnader mellan planparadigmet, med grund i den fysiska planeringen, och miljö­paradigmet, med grund i naturvården. Utifrån planparadigmet anser man att naturreservaten har fått för stor inverkan på kommunens markanvändning och att värdefull natur oftare borde skyddas med hjälp av plan- och bygglagens verktyg. Från miljöparadigmets vinkel är naturskyddet – och bör även i fortsättningen vara – ett viktigt verktyg för att långsiktigt förhindra att värdefull natur exploateras.

Processus créatifs et systèmes auto-génératifs : automatisation, auto-génération et énaction : esquisse d'une esthétique énactive / Creative processes of automatic and self-generating systems : automation, autonomy, self-generation and enaction : essay of an enactive aesthetic

Toumi, Mohsen 27 September 2016 (has links)
Il s’agit dans cette étude des processus créatifs des systèmes automatiques et autogénératifs. Notre problématique se base sur le paradoxe suivant : comment est-il possible à un système automatique et autopoïétique de créer quelque chose de doté d’une valeur esthétique ? Peut-on parler d’une poïétique et d’une esthétique propres aux systèmes autogénératifs ? Si cela est possible, en quel sens peut-il avoir ? Et quels seraient les implications et les enjeux ? Comment faire concilier la conscience, l’intentionnalité, l’émotion, la subjectivité, l’intelligence créative et la libre décision avec l’automatisation et la programmation algorithmique ? En s’appuyant sur un échantillon de neuf artistes, et à partir d’une approche inductivo-déductive, nous avons essayé de réfléchir sur les liens nécessaires entre : automatisation, autonomie, auto génération et énaction. Nous nous sommes rendu compte qu’il y avait une évolution continue qui dirigeait toute l’histoire de l’instrumentalisation dans l’art. Cette médiation, toujours en évolution, a finalement abouti à un changement qualitatif, c'est-à-dire à un passage de paradigme du faire au paradigme du faire faire avec lequel les processus d’automatisation, d’autonomisation, d’autogénération et d’énaction se sont devenus de plus en plus déterminants pour l’acte de création artistique.Le paradigme du faire faire est un paradigme d’automatisation, d’autogénération, d’autopoïèse et d’émergence dans lequel, l’« artiste » ne génère plus directement l’œuvre, mais plutôt il instaure le contexte de son auto génération. Cette autogénérativité progressive prendra des formes et des degrés multiples, à commencer par la générativité combinatoire, exploratoire, adaptative et transformationnelle…, à travers les quelles, le triangle créatif traditionnel s’est trouvé inopérationnel, et par conséquent, la théorie de l’art condamnée à changer ses catégories.Dans ce contexte de changement paradigmatique, une « nouvelle hybridation homme-machine », une « créativité collective et distribuée » ou une « auto générativité éco systémique » se présentaient comme des pistes possibles vers des nouvelles pratiques créatives énactives, vers des nouvelles aventures de théorisation et de réflexions esthétiques ? / The purpose of this study is the creative processes of automatic and self-generating systems. The raised issue is based on the following paradox: how is it possible for an automatic and autopoietic system to create something that has an aesthetic value? Can we speak of poietic and aesthetic that are characteristics of self-generating systems? If possible, in what sense it is. And what would the implications and the stakes be. How to reconcile consciousness, intentionality emotion, with automation and algorithmic programming? Based on a sample of nine artists, and from a deductive-inductive approach, we have tried to reflect on the necessary links between: automation, autonomy, self-generation and énaction. We have come to realize that there is a continuous evolution that runs the entire history of the instrumentalization of art. This mediation, always evolving, has eventually led to a qualitative change. That is to a passage from a paradigm of do to a paradigm of make do with which the processes of automation, self-generation and enaction have become increasing crucial to the act of artistic creation. The make do paradigm is a paradigm of autopoiesis and emergence, in which, the artist no longer generates directly the work of art, but rather establishes the context of its self-generation. This progressive self-generation takes multiple forms and degrees, beginning with the combinatorial, explaratory, adaptive and transformational generativity through which the traditional creative triangle is found inoperative, and therefore the theory of advance art has changed its categories. In this context of paradigmatic change, à “new hybridization Human-Machine”, a “collective and distributed creativity” or “ecosystem auto-generativity” have become possible leads to new enactive and creative practices, to new adventures of aesthetic theory.

Reflections on a paradigm shift

Van Zyl Spies, Pieter Gabriël 11 1900 (has links)
This study sets out to report on the reflections of a therapist-in-[post-graduate] training on his experiences when endeavouring to shift from [between] a positivistic to [and] a constructivistic paradigm. Reflections on some experiences associated with the positivistic epistemology that were relinquished were described; reflections on experiences associated with the constructivistic epistemology that were gained were described as well as reflections on experiences of both paradigms, that were added. These reflections were based on research data acquired during the researcher's first year of post-graduate training and exposure to the "new" constructivistic paradigm. Transcriptions from audio-taped sessions with a client from the researchers private practice, during this period served as the research data for this study. A literature study attempting to distinguish between the positivistic and constructivistic paradigms is presented. Arising out of this, the implications of a paradigm shift of this nature, is outlined. / Health Studies / M.A. (Mental Health)

Grammaire de l’amuzgo de Xochistlahuaca, langue otomangue orientale. Documentation d’une variété amuzgoane de « langue en danger » / A grammar of Xochistlahuaca Amuzgo, an Eastern Otomanguean language. Documentation of an endangered language

Do Bui, Bien 09 April 2018 (has links)
Cette grammaire de l’amuzgo (ISO 639-3) ou n͂omndaa (littéralement ‘le mot de l’eau’) tend à combler un manque de travaux théoriques sur cette langue otomangue de la branche orientale (branche qu’elle partage avec le mixtec). La source référentielle Ethnologue lui attribue le statut ‘en développement’. Pourtant, l’amuzgo reste vulnérable sur le plan socio-politique de par son statut de langue indigène du Mexique : le village Xochistlahuaca (Etat de Guerrero) est la 16è municipalité la plus pauvre du pays. En employant des approches non-concaténatives de phonologie et de morphologie, telles la phonologie gabaritique, la morphologie templatique, et des formalismes non-lexicalistes comme le Paradigm Function Morphology, cette grammaire cherche à modéliser des systèmes complexes représentés dans cette langue. Des approches non-linéaires sont plus aptes à rendre compte des inventaires élaborés comme les tons, et (dans une échelle scalaire) la phonation non-modale, la nasalisation, et la balisticité (un contraste phonétique et articulatoire au niveau de la syllabe). Ces systèmes complexes comprennent des fonctions lexico-grammaticales par grades à travers des structures diverses dans la grammaire, de la lexicalité à la phonologie interne, de la dérivation à la flexion. / This grammar of Amuzgo (ISO 639-3), endonymically n͂omndaa, literally ‘the word of water’) seeks to fill a lack in theoretical work on this Otomanguean language from the Eastern branch (shared with Mixtec). Rated as developing by the reference Ethnologue, this language is nevertheless in a constant position of socio-political vulnerability as an indigenous language of Mexico, spoken in the village of Xochistlahuaca (Guerrero State), also the 16th poorest municipality in the country. Using non-concatenative approaches in phonology and morphology such as autosegmental phonology, templatic morphology and non-lexical morphological formalisms such as Paradigm Function Morphology, this grammar seeks to model complex systems represented in this language. Non-linear approaches account for elaborate inventories of tone, and, in a gradient scale, non-modal phonation and autosegments like nasalization and ballisticity, a syllable level contrast of phonetic and articulatory saliency. These complex systems display gradient lexical-grammatical functions across structures in the grammar, from lexicality to internal phonology, to derivation and inflection.

Observância tributária: integrando paradigmas em busca de mais conformidade fiscal / Tax compliance: integrating paradigms seeking more tax compliance

Fabio Pereira da Silva 01 July 2015 (has links)
A pesquisa sobre observância tributária floresceu no campo econômico, tendo como estudos seminais as obras de Allingham e Sandmo (1972) e Srinivasan (1973). Esses artigos basearam-se na teoria de Becker (1968) sobre crime e punição, aceitando o paradigma econômico clássico, que parte do pressuposto de que os indivíduos adotam comportamentos racionais. Nas últimas décadas, contudo, muitos pesquisadores notaram que esse paradigma, do qual derivou aquilo que veio a ser chamado pela academia de \"paradigma do crime\", explicava apenas parcialmente o comportamento do contribuinte. Surge, então, toda uma linha de pesquisa contrapondo esse paradigma racional, partindo da constatação de que o comportamento do contribuinte é muito mais complexo do que inicialmente se supunha, merecendo uma análise multidisciplinar, ou seja, que não se restrinja ao campo econômico, mas que também abarque outras disciplinas. Esse novo paradigma foi denominado pela academia de \"paradigma do serviço\" que, em linhas gerais, contempla outros fatores envolvidos no ato de pagar tributos, inclusive psicológicos, pressupondo, de tal modo, que o contribuinte não é um indivíduo racional unicamente preocupado em maximizar sua utilidade, devendo ser visto pela administração pública como uma espécie de cliente, e recebendo tratamento adequado e serviços públicos de qualidade em contrapartida ao cumprimento de suas obrigações tributárias. O presente estudo faz uma apreciação dos dois paradigmas, introduzindo nessa avaliação conceitos da ciência denominada Análise do Comportamento, cujos ensinamentos sobre a aprendizagem e o comportamento humano têm o potencial de contribuir de forma significativa para o entendimento do assunto. Testando os pressupostos teóricos apresentados no decorrer do trabalho, foram realizados dois estudos empíricos, tomando-se como base o modelo criado pelo pesquisador e psicólogo Erich Kirchler, denominado Slippery Slope Framework, que confirma estudos anteriores e demonstra que tanto punições quanto recompensas são instrumentos eficazes no combate à evasão fiscal, sugerindo que a integração dos paradigmas \"do crime\" e \"do serviço\", bem como a inserção dos princípios da Análise do Comportamento nesta análise é um caminho promissor no combate à evasão fiscal. / Research on tax compliance has arisen in the economic field with seminal studies based upon the works of Allingham and Sandmo (1972) and Srinivasan (1973). Such articles were based on Becker\'s theory (1968) on crime and punishment, accepting the classic economic paradigm, which presupposes that individuals show rational behaviors. Nevertheless, in the past decades, many researchers have noticed that such paradigm, which gave rise to what is referred to, by the academy, as \"crime paradigm\", explained the behavior of taxpayers solely in part, and an entire line of research opposing such rational paradigm arose, based upon the verification that the behavior of taxpayers is much more complex than what was originally presumed, deserving a multidisciplinary analysis, i.e., not restricted to the economic field, but that, further, encompasses other subjects. Such new paradigm was designated by the academy as \"service paradigm\" that, in general, contemplates other factors involved in the act of paying taxes, including psychological factors, thus presupposing that taxpayers are not rational individuals solely concerned about maximizing the function thereof, they should be deemed, by the public administration, to be clients, and should receive appropriate treatment and quality public services in return for complying with their tax obligations. This study analyzes two paradigms, introducing in such analysis concepts of the science called Behavior Analysis, the teachings on learning and human behavior of which have potential to significantly contribute to better understanding the subject. Testing the theoretical assumptions presented throughout the study, two empirical analyses were conducted, based upon the model created by researcher and psychologist Erich Kirchler, referred to as Slippery Slope Model, which confirms previous studies and indicates that both punishment and reward are effective tools to fight against tax evasion, suggesting that integrating \"crime\" and \"service\" paradigms and inserting concepts of the Behavior Analysis Science in this analysis is highly promising to fight against tax evasion.

Pokročilé programové konstrukce a programovací techniky jazyka Swift / Advanced programming constructs and techniques in the Swift language

Čislinský, Jan January 2017 (has links)
The thesis focuses on advanced programming constructs and techniques of the Swift programming language. At the beginning programming paradigms that are supported by the Swift design (object-oriented and functional) are introduced. Concepts of each paradigm are described and Swift is then evaluated by the level of support for these paradigms. Following programming constructs are described in-depth: working with variables, optional types, enumerated types, functions and closures. Creating of custom operators and subscripts. Operations with protocols, generic types and parallel program execution. Error handling with throwing functions. Detailed explanation of value types and their differences from reference type is given too. Thesis also explains nested types and all higher-order functions in Swift. At the end are described extensions; specifically extension of computed property, initialization function, function, subscript, nested type and protocol and generic types extensions. In the last section of the thesis these advanced programming techniques are described; function chaining and composition, structure saving, performance optimization of value types, reflection in the Swift programming language and how modules and namespaces work. At the end protocol-oriented programming is introduced.
