Yes / Physically active learning (PAL) has emerged as a promising way of eliciting health and education-based outcomes for pupils. Concurrently, research suggests large variability in how PAL is perceived, operationalized, and prioritized in practice across Europe. Therefore, this study aimed to co-develop a framework for action to support the adoption and implementation of PAL. Adopting a design thinking approach, 40 international stakeholders representing 13 countries engaged in an idea generation workshop during a two-day PAL international conference. Participants included professionals from research (n = 20), practice (n = 4) and policy (n = 1) or a combination (n = 15). Their experience with PAL ranged from none to 19 years (with an average of 3.9 years). Participants were allocated into one of six heterogeneous and multidisciplinary groups and led through interactive tasks to identify: the landscape for PAL across Europe, barriers to the adoption and implementation of PAL, and key objectives for research, policy and practice to improve the adoption and implementation of PAL. All discussions were audio recorded and prioritized objectives were transcribed verbatim and analysed using inductive qualitative content analysis. Five interlinked and mutually reinforcing themes were identified: (1) Integration of the health and education paradigms (2) Coherent national policy and decision making (3) Building confident and competent teachers (4) Adopting a whole school approach for PAL (5) Strengthening the evidence base for PAL. The priority action framework identifies five key areas for action to facilitate PAL adoption and implementation across Europe. Central to the success of border uptake of PAL is the integration of the health and education paradigms. To achieve this aim, reframing PAL as movement-centered pedagogy would provide a more holistic and inclusive perspective. / The authors of this manuscript were supported and funded by the European Union ERASMUS + Strategic Partnership Fund as part of the Activating Classroom Teachers project, ACTivate (Grant no 2019-1-N001-KA203-063024).

Summaries en Afrikaans and English / Text in Afrikaans / Een van die kenmerke van leergestremde kinders is dat hulle, benewens hul leertekorte, dikwels ook gedragsprobleme manifesteer wat nie net hul leer benadeel nie, maar ook hul uiteindelike volwassewording. Talle skoolse opvoeders wat met hierdie kinders gemoeid is, is nie in staat om hierdie kinders se gedragsprobleme na behore aan te spreek nie. Die doel van hierdie studie is om enkele onderrigstrategiee daar te stel aan die hand waarvan bepaalde gedragsprobleme van leergestremde laerskoolkinders in die hoofstroom van die onderwys aangespreek kan word. V oordat daar oorgegaan is tot die beplanning van hierdie onderrigstrategiee, is daar op die etiologie en manifestasies van leergestremdheid gefokus. Vervolgens is enkele bestaande hulpverleningspraktyke bespreek en aan die hand van ortopedagogiese beginsels geevalueer. Aangesien hierdie hulpverleningspraktyke as ortopedagogies verantwoordbaar beskou is, kon dit as basis dien vir onderrigstrategiee vir die bantering van die volgende gedragsprobleme: aandagtekorte, hiperaktiwiteit, impulsiwiteit, hipoaktiwiteit, katastrofiese gedragsuitinge en aggressie. / One of the characteristics associated with learning disabled pupils is that they not only experience learning difficulties, but often manifest behavioural problems that impede their learning and eventual adulthood. Many educators involved with learning disabled pupils are unable to address the behavioural problems of these children effectively. The purpose of this study is to compile instructional strategies that could be put into practice when dealing with the behavioural problems of learning disabled pupils who are in the mainstream of education. Before planning these strategies, the etiology and manifestations of learning disabilities were addressed. Thereafter, orthopedagogical criteria were applied to evalute certain schools of thought regarding orthopedagogical practices. Having ascertained that the practices in question are orthopedagogically sound, instructional strategies, based on these practices, were planned to address the following behavioural problems: attention deficits, hyperactivity, impulsivity, hypoactivity, catastrophic reactions and aggression. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.

D’un point de vue climatique la région méditerranéenne est propice aux évènements pluvio-orageux intenses, particulièrement en automne. Ces pluies s’abattent sur des bassins versants escarpés. La promptitude des crues ne laisse qu’un temps très court pour la prévision. L’amplitude de ces crues dépend de la grande variabilité des pluies et des caractéristiques des bassins versants. Les réseaux d'observations ne sont habituellement pas adaptés à ces petites échelles spatiales et l'intensité des événements affecte souvent la fiabilité des données quand elles existent d’où l’existence de bassin non jaugés. La régionalisation en hydrologie s’attache à la détermination de variables hydrologiques aux endroits où ces données manquent. L’objectif de cette thèse est de contribuer à poser les bases d’une méthodologie adaptée à la transposition des paramètres d'un modèle hydrologique distribué dédié aux crues rapides de bassins versants bien instrumentés à des bassins versants non jaugés, et ce sur une large zone d’étude. L’outil utilisé est le modèle hydrologique distribué MARINE [Roux et al., 2011] dont l’une des originalités est de disposer d’un modèle adjoint permettant de mener à bien des calibrations et des analyses de sensibilité spatio-temporelles qui servent à améliorer la compréhension des mécanismes de crue et à l’assimilation de données en temps réel pour la prévision. L’étude des sensibilités du modèle MARINE aborde la compréhension des processus physiques. Une large gamme de comportements hydrologiques est explorée. On met en avant quelques types de comportements des bassins versants pour la région d’étude [Garambois et al., 2012a]. Une sélection des évènements de calibration et une technique de calibration multi évènements aident à l’extraction d’un jeu de paramètres par bassin versant. Ces paramétrisations sont testées sur des évènements de validation. Une méthode de décomposition de la variance des résultats conduit aux sensibilités temporelles du modèle à ses paramètres. Cela permet de mieux appréhender la dynamique des processus physiques rapides en jeu lors de ces crues [Garambois et al., 2012c]. Les paramétrisations retenues sont transférées à l’aide de similarités hydrologiques sur des bassins versants non jaugés, à des fins de prévision opérationnelle / Climate and orography in the Mediterranean region tend to promote intense rainfalls, particularly in autumn. Storms often hit steep catchments. Flood quickness only let a very short time lapse for forecasts. Peak flow intensity depends on the great variability of rainfalls and catchment characteristics. As a matter of facts, observation networks are not adapted to these small space-time scales and event severity often affects data fiability when they exist thus the notion of ungauged catchment emerges. Regionalization in hydrology seeks to determine hydrological variables at locations where these data lack. This work contributes to pose the bases of a methodology adapted to transpose parameterizations of a flash flood dedicated distributed hydrologic model from gauged catchments to ungauged ones, and for a large study area. The MARINE distributed hydrologic model is used [Roux et al., 2011], its originality lies in the automatically differentiated adjoint model able to perform calibrations and spatial-temporal sensitivity analysis, in order to improve understanding in flash flood generating mechanisms and real time data assimilation for hydrometeorological forecasts. MARINE sensitivity analysis addresses the question of physical process understanding. A large panel of hydrologic behaviours is explored. General catchment behaviours are highlighted for the study area [Garambois et al., 2012a]. Selected flood events and a multiple events calibration technique help to extract catchment parameter sets. Those parameterizations are tested on validation events. A variance decomposition method leads to parameter temporal sensitivity analysis. It enables better understanding in catching dynamics of physical processes involved in flash floods formation [Garambois et al., 2012c]. Parameterizations are then transfered from gauged catchments with hydrologic similarity to ungauged ones with a view to develop real time flood forecasting

Diploma thesis title: Opinions and Attitudes of Unsuccessfully Moving Younger School Age Children toward Physical Activities Aims (goals): The main aim of the diploma thesis was to state opinions and attitudes of unsuccessfully moving younger-school-age children toward physical activities. Another aim was to create an overview of terms regarding the movement failure in the theoretical part. Further aim was to compare the opinions and attitudes of so defined children toward the physical activities to results of Kaplan (2001) and Holický (2011) and to monitor anthropometric characteristics of observed files. Methodology: The work was developed by using the method of Kaplan's research (2011). The research identified unsuccessfully moving children using a motoric testing. With this procedure the files for the subsequent determination of the characteristics of the unsuccessfully moving children were defined. Then, two types of questionnaires were used to research the opinions and attitude of the children toward the physical activities. Results: The results revealed the unsuccessfully moving children do a physical activity three times a week and occasionally. The pupils of the S2 file spend most of the time inactively, for instance by engaging themselves in computer activities or garden games. The group...

The goal of computer graphics is to precisely model the appearance of real objects. It includes of interactions of light with various materials. Polarisation is one of the fundamental properties of light. Incorporating polarisation parameter into an illumination model can significantly enhance the physical realism of rendered images in the case of scenes including multiple light bounces via specular surfaces, etc. However, recent rendering systems do not take polarisation into account because of complexity of such a solution. The key component for obtaining physically correct images are realistic, polarisation capable BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) models. Within this thesis, polarising versions of the following BRDF models were theoretically derived: Torrance Sparrow, He-Torrance-Sillion-Greenberg and Weidlich-Wilkie. For each of these models, Mueller matrices (the mathematical construct used to describe polarising surface reflectance) were systematically derived and their behaviour tested under various input parameters using Wolfram Mathematica. Derived polarising glossy BRDF models were further implemented using a rendering research system, ART (Advanced Rendering Toolkit). As far as we know, it is the very first usage of these BRDF models in a polarisation renderer....

Le contexte de ma thèse rentre dans le cadre du projet IMD3D, supporté par le FUI. L'objectif de ce projet consiste à proposer une méthode automatisée permettant la décoration d'objets 3D quelconques. La solution choisie consiste à positionner un film imprimé dans le moule, ce film sera déformé par la fermeture du moule puis par injection. Ma thèse porte sur la génération de décoration. Les données dont nous disposons en entrée sont un maillage et une ou plusieurs images. Nous souhaitons d'abord obtenir le plaquage de cette image sur le maillage, de telle sorte que le rendu visuel soit équivalent à l'image initiale. Pour cela, nous avons décidé de choisir un point de vue par image et de le favoriser. Nous paramétrions alors le maillage par le biais d'une projection orthogonale ou perspective définie par ce point de vue. Nous réalisons alors la transformée inverse de déformation du maillage. L'utilisation d'une application conforme pour la déformation inverse permet de coller au mieux à la physique du problème. Nous visualisons donc le résultat à imprimer sur le film. Il reste alors à générer la texture permettant de décorer l'objet injecté par le procédé. Il suffit de parcourir bilinéairement l'intérieur des mailles et simultanément la partie de l'image correspondante, de manière à remplir les pixels de l'image. Ceci permet d'obtenir finalement la texture finale qui sera imprimée sur le film. Mais, lors des premiers essais effectués par les industriels avec une mire colorée, un effet de décoloration a été relevé. Nous avons donc pris en compte ce changement de couleur pour modifier l'image et obtenir le résultat visuel escompte, même au niveau du rendu des couleurs / This work takes part in a global industrial project called IMD3D, which is supported by FUI and aims at decorating 3D plastic objects using Insert Molding technology with an automated process. Our goal is to compute the decoration of 3D virtual objects, using data coming from polymer film characterization and mechanical simulation. My thesis deals with the generation of decoration. Firstly, we want to map the texture onto the mesh, so that the visual rendering would be equivalent to the initial picture. In order to do so, we decided to choose a viewpoint per texture and to favor it. Thus, a specific view-dependent parameterization is defined. Thus, the first goal which is to define the texture mapping with visual constraints is reached. After this step, the inverse distortion of the mesh is performed. The use of a conformal map for this inverse transform allows to respect the physics issues. Therefore we get a planar mesh representing the initial mesh of simulation whose associated textures have also been modified by this transform. The result to be printed on the film can be viewed. Finally, the texture enabling the decoration of the object injected by the process can be generated. This texture combines information from several mapped images. The inner part of the mesh and in the same time the part of the corresponding texture shall be followed in a bilinear way in order to fill the pixel of the generated picture. But during the first tests performed by industries with a colors pattern, a discoloration effect was detected. As a consequence, we thought to take into account this color change to modify the picture and to obtain the expected visual rendering

Trata-se de um estudo de alternativas de reforma de residências para deficiente físico em cadeira de rodas, propondo-as como micro-fator de reinserção social, considerado, como macro-fator, o circular na cidade para uma participação efetiva do deficiente físico na vida da comunidade. As barreiras arquitetônicas, entendidas como uma estrutura do meio ambiente edificado que se opõe à independência parcial ou total das pessoas de mobilidade reduzida, são amplamente estudadas, pois subsidiam as reformas. Estas procuram otimizar o binômio espaço habitado/qualidade de vida, através da racionalização e adequação do espaço às exigências dimensionais do usuário deficiente e da cadeira de rodas, seu meio locomotor, bem como possibilitando o acesso a todo ambiente da residência e o uso dos seus equipamentos. Um estudo sumário sobre o alcance do deficiente físico quando em cadeira de rodas, bem como sobre as exigências dimensionais para a circulação desse seu veículo é mostrado na segunda parte da tese, composta, aliás, de três grandes capítulos. Não é um trabalho inédito quanto a temática. Contudo, enquanto resenha bibliográfica e estatística dimensional de espaços e suas instalações, pode servir de ponto de partida e marco referencial para estudos de normatização e definição de padrões condizentes com a escala e realidade brasileira que começa a demandar soluções para a problemática. / The subject study refers to alternatives to be used in homes of physically handicapped people in wheeling chairs, proposed as micro-factors of social insertion, and at the same time as a macro-factor to allow him to circulated in town for an effective participation in the community\'s life. The built environmental structure that opposes partial or totally the people\'s reduced mobility are the architectural barriers witch are fully studied here to subsidize the modifications proposed. They seek to optimize the inhabited space/life quality binomial through rationalization and adequacy of space, to the demands of the handicapped user and wheeling chairs, his locomotor expedient, as well as access possibility to the home ambient and the utilization of its equipment. The sketched out analysis over the reaching of the physically handicapped when in wheeling chairs, as well as the dimensional demands for the circulation of that vehicle, is shown in the second part of this Thesis, in three chapters. It is not an inedited work thematically viewed. However, while bibliographic inventory and dimensional statistics of space and pertinent installations, it serves as a starting point for standards and pattern definitions suitable to the Brazilian reality and scale, that begins now to demand solutions for the problem of the handicapped people in wheeling chairs.

Esse trabalho considera o brincar como uma área para os acontecimentos e experiências criativas da pessoa onde seu gesto genuíno pode se evidenciar. Utilizou a compreensão do brincar de D. W. Winnicott (1896-1971), como uma área intermediária de experiência e de relaxamento para o indivíduo engajado na tarefa humana de manter as realidades interna e externa separadas e inter-relacionadas. O brincar, compreendido como uma atividade cotidiana espontânea, compartilhada, criativa e que tem um fim em si mesma, é campo para os procedimentos do terapeuta ocupacional e, para aquelas crianças que não brincam ou têm dificuldades nessa atividade, um dos objetivos do processo terapêutico. Considerou não ser possível separar as atividades brincar do desenvolvimento e investimentos de ordem física, cognitiva, social e psíquica, se o terapeuta quiser proporcionar uma experiência à criança em que ela possa se desenvolver em sua totalidade e a partir de um percurso singular. Os objetivo foram apresentar e refletir sobre uma forma de compreender o brincar no processo de terapia ocupacional com crianças que têm deficiência física, na qual o brincar é, muitas vezes, um dos objetivos desse processo e, sempre, área na qual acontecimentos saudáveis, criativos e de experiências culturais podem ser realizados, favorecendo a participação social dessas crianças. Para essa investigação utilizou-se o levantamento bibliográfico de estudos sobre a temática da infância, deficiência, brincar, cultura e terapia ocupacional, articulados à experiência vivida na clínica no atendimento de crianças com deficiência na terapia ocupacional. Considerou a subjetividade do pesquisador implicado diretamente em todo o percurso da investigação, construída e decorrente da relação do indivíduo pesquisador com o indivíduo atendido na terapia ocupacional. A investigação seguiu uma proposta de pesquisa, do ponto de vista epistemológico, sujeito-sujeito e suas atividades, constituição da relação triádica na terapia ocupacional. Participaram quatro crianças com suas histórias, partes construídas no processo de terapia ocupacional, que possibilitaram a coleta de dados para ilustrar a discussão em torno do uso das atividades na área do brincar pelo terapeuta, assim como lembranças de outros momentos da experiência clínica. Utilizou o diário de campo para o registro dos acontecimentos na clínica, a entrevista aberta com familiar e a leitura documental. Discutiu três aspectos presentes nos procedimentos do terapeuta ocupacional: o ensino, o contorno e o reconhecimento, no contexto do uso do brincar como área para experiências de realização de atividades. Como resultado apontou a relevância dessa forma de usar o brincar para a avaliação da indicação de terapia ocupacional, a avaliação inicial e contínua do paciente e as ações de cuidado do terapeuta ocupacional que visam à facilitação da participação social da pessoa atendida. / In this thesis playing is considered as an area for creative happenings and experiences in which a person´s genuine gestures can be seen. It takes D. W. Winnicott´s (1896-1971) way of understanding playing, as an intermediate area of experience and relaxation for an individual engaged in the human task of keeping the internal and external realities separated and interrelated. Playing, understood as a daily activity that is spontaneous, shared and creative and that has a purpose in itself, is a field for the occupational therapist´s procedures, as well as one of the aims of the therapeutic process in those cases in which the children either do not play or have difficulties to do it. It is not considered possible to separate playing from physical, social and psychic development and investment, if the therapist wants the child to have experience so as to develop wholly and from a singular path. The aim was to present and think about a way of understanding playing in the occupational therapy process with physically disabled children. Playing is one of the purposes of that process a lot of times, and it is always an area in which healthy, creative and cultural experiences may happen, and such experiences favor those children´s social participation. A bibliography survey of the studies related to childhood, disability, playing, culture and occupational therapy was done, and it was linked with the clinical experience of attending disabled children in the occupational therapy. It considered the subjectivity of the researcher who was directly involved throughout the investigation. Such subjectivity was both formed and due to the relationship between the individual who was the researcher and the individual who was attended in the occupational therapy. The investigation followed a proposal of research from the epistemological point of view, subject-subject and their activities, the formation of the triad relationship in occupational therapy. Four children and their personal histories were parts of the study. Their histories were partly built in the occupational therapy process, and they made it possible to collect data to illustrate the discussion related to the use of playing activities by the therapist, as well as to remember other passages of the clinical experience. A book to register what happened in the clinic, the open interview with some members of the family and documentary reading were used. Three aspects present in the occupational therapist´s procedures were discussed: the teaching, the environment and the acknowledgement, in the context of playing as an area to experience the accomplishment of activities. As a result, it showed the importance of using playing to evaluate the necessity of taking occupational therapy, to evaluate the patient both initially and continually and to evaluate the occupational therapist´s caring actions to facilitate the social participation of the person who is being attended.
