Professors of the Education Course often bring to the course coordination difficulties they face in teaching to a group that has such diversity and heterogeneity. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the social representations and expectations of academic entrants of Pedagogy about the course, featuring a variety of profiles, trying to analyze the reasons for the choice of a course in teacher training in higher education. The research was configured in a qualitative approach, involving study of case. The research tools that facilitated achieving the intended goals were: semi-structured interviews, documented analysis procedures and testimonials. Students who participated in the research were selected by their profiles, thus, high school graduated academics, graduated for teaching (Professional Technical) and those who already work as teachers in kindergarten schools and first grades of elementary school. 30 entrants were chosen, four of each academic profile who agreed to participate anonymously. Understanding the diversity of perceptions and expectations of customers should help subsidize and rethink the pedagogical project of the Pedagogy Course focused in the research. / O interesse pelo tema abordado nesta pesquisa se deve ao fato de que os alunos ingressantes do curso de Pedagogia de uma instituição privada de Ensino Superior no interior de Minas Gerais apresentam uma diversidade de perfis, ou seja, alguns são egressos do Ensino Médio, outros, egressos do Magistério (técnico-profissional) e alguns já atuam como docentes em escolas de Educação Infantil e séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Muitas vezes, os docentes do curso trazem à coordenação as dificuldades que enfrentam ao lecionar para um grupo que apresenta essa diversidade e heterogeneidade. Assim, a presente pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar as representações sociais dos acadêmicos ingressantes de Pedagogia e verificar suas expectativas em relação ao curso. É preciso lembrar que tais alunos apresentam diversidade de procedência, dessa forma, tentar-se-á identificar as razões da escolha de um curso na área de formação de educadores em nível superior. A pesquisa se configurou em uma abordagem qualitativa, envolvendo um estudo de caso e os procedimentos metodológicos que viabilizaram a consecução do objetivo pretendido foram: entrevistas semiestruturadas, análise documental e bibliográfica. Participaram da pesquisa os acadêmicos ingressantes que foram selecionados por procedência. O universo da pesquisa constituiu-se de 12 ingressantes (de um total de 30), destes, quatro acadêmicos de cada procedência concordaram em participar de forma anônima. A compreensão da diversidade de representação da clientela deverá contribuir para repensar o projeto pedagógico do curso e subsidiar as ações dos professores envolvidos na formação de futuros profissionais docentes.

This project deals with the automorphism group G of a Steiner system S (3, 4, 10). S₁₀, the symmetrical group of degree 10, acts transitively on T, the set of all Steiner systems with parameters 3, 4, 10. The purpose of this project is to study the action of S₁₀ on cosets of G. This will be achieved by means of a graph of S₁₀ on T x T. The orbits of S₁₀ on T x T are in one-one correspondence with the orbits of G, the stabilizer of an S [e] T on T.

The main purpose of this thesis is to describe methods of constructing computer-free proofs of existence of finite groups and give useful techniques to perform double coset enumeration of groups with symmetric presentations over their control groups.

Contrairement aux autres sports collectifs introduits en France dans la seconde moitié du XIXème siècle, le handball prend son essor en France durant l’entre-deux-guerres. Passant d’une pratique d’entraînement hivernal des athlètes, à une pratique professionnelle au début du XXIe siècle, notre objet de recherche cherche à expliquer les processus d’intégration et de diffusion de cette pratique en France, tant sur le plan géopolitique que technico-tactique. À partir d’une diversité de sources, (archives institutionnelles, témoignages de 25 acteurs, coupures de presse et périodiques handballistiques), trois perspectives sont envisagées (institutionnelle, sociale et culturelle), identifiant quatre étapes dans la construction du handball français. Après une première phase d’importation, grâce à deux vecteurs de diffusion principaux, le sport ouvrier et le sport scolaire, se situant à des échelles et des vitesses différentes, la FFHB est créée par le régime de Vichy, associé à quelques professeurs d’EP conquis par cette nouvelle activité de football à la main qui se pratique alors à 7 ou 11 joueurs. Puis, lorsque le handball à 7 devient majoritaire, sa représentation culturelle se transforme, passant d’une somme de techniques individuelles à maîtriser à la nécessité de prendre en considération les adversaires et les partenaires. Cette révolution est largement soutenue par la DTN dans les années 1960 et 1970, en lien avec les considérations scientifiques présentes en France et à l’étranger, pendant que Nelson Paillou conçoit la massification des licenciés et la structuration du système fédéral selon une logique amateur. La chute du bloc de l’Est et le choix des dirigeants et entraîneurs fédéraux, de privilégier le haut niveau contribuent aux premiers succès français tout en ouvrant l’ère de la marchandisation et de la spectacularisation à partir des années 1990. Néanmoins, à l’aube du XXIe siècle, le handball finit par s’abstraire des modèles étrangers et rejoint le développement des autres sports collectifs en professionnalisant ses structures et ses acteurs. / Unlike the other team sports brought to France in the second half of the 19th century, handball thrived in France between the First and the Second World Wars. It has moved since then from a winter training practice to become a professional activity at the beginning of the 21st century. The objective of our research is to explain the integration and propagation processes of this sport, with geopolitical as well as technical and tactical considerations. A variety of sources have been investigated – institutional archives, testimonies of 25 stakeholders, press articles, periodicals about handball – with regards to three axis – institutional, social and cultural – ; four stages have been identified in the development of handball in France. The first phase is the importation of handball through two dissemination vectors that have different scales and paces: the sport of the working class and school sport. The Vichy government creates the FFHB, which is associated to a few Physical Education teachers that are captivated by this new activity – football played with hands in teams of 7 or 11 players. Then, when the handball is mainly played in teams of 7, its cultural representation changes: it goes from a superposition of individual technics to the need of taking into consideration teammates and opponents. This revolution is supported by the national technical direction in the 1960’s and 1970’s and is linked to the scientific thoughts in France and abroad ; meanwhile, Nelson Paillou makes handball available to the masses and structures the federal system with the objective to promote non professional handball. With the collapse of the communist bloc, federal managers and trainers choose to favour high-level sport and contribute to the first French successes. From the 1990’s, they also start developing the commercial aspect and the spectacle aspect of the sport. However, at the dawn of the 21st century, handball finally moves away from international models and follows the development of the other team sports with a more professional structure and stakeholders.

Orientador: Andrea Lucia Dorini de Oliveira Carvalho Rossi / Resumo: A presente tese tem por intento compreender e questionar a existência, a atuação e o papel desempenhado pelo mito de Dioniso-Zagreu na tradição órfica da Grécia clássica, e na eventual dramatização desses mistérios. Seria este realmente o mito cardinal do orfismo ou ele é uma ficção intencionalmente provocada pelas leituras apologéticas dos estudiosos do século XIX? Integra-se a ele uma antropogonia inovadora ou não há evidências para tal construção teórica? A antiguidade, o conteúdo e a centralidade do mito têm sido motivo de amplo debate entre os estudiosos do tema. E esses debates, muitas vezes, se ajustam a imagens viciadas e induzidas das fontes, referências, métodos e materiais de investigação. Enquanto alguns intérpretes e comentadores inserem sua origem e, sobretudo, sua propagação, a partir V século AEC, outros, influenciados pelo cetiscimo e pelos apelos da hipercrítica, advogam pela inexistência tanto do mito, quanto da doutrina do pecado original que supostamente faria parte da composição desta narrativa. Munida de perspectivas e interpretações plurais, esta pesquisa visa a percorrer a história da tradição órfica, em busca de imagens que deem conta dessa multiplicidade intrínseca e característica do universo dionisíaco, a fim de analisar também as crenças peculiares às práticas de representação dramática e se elas estariam presentes no ritual órfico, em especial no período clássico, a partir da simbologia estabelecida à época pelos testemunhos, pela iconografia e ...

Is this really the cardinal myth of Orphism or is it a fiction intentionally provoked by the apologetic readings of nineteenth-century scholars? Is an innovative anthropogony integrated into it or is there no evidence for such a theoretical construction? The antiquity, content and centrality of the myth have been the subject of wide debate among scholars. These debates often fit in with misleading and induced images of sources, references, methods, and research materials. While some interpreters and commentators insert its origin and, above all, its propagation, from the 5th century BCE, others, influenced by the eighteenth century and the appeals of the hypercritic, advocate the inexistence of both, myth and the doctrine of original sin, that supposedly would be part of the composition of this narrative. Armed with perspectives and plural interpretations, this research aims to search the history of the Orphic tradition, looking for images that account for this intrinsic multiplicity and characteristic of the Dionysian universe, in order to analyze also the beliefs peculiar to the practices of dramatic representation and if they would be present in the Orphic ritual, especially in the classical period, from the symbology established at the time by the te...

Le foncteur D_cris de Fontaine nous permet d'obtenir des isocristaux à partir des représentations cristallines. Pour un groupe reductif G, on s'intéresse à étudier la réduction des réseaux dans une représentation cristalline avec G-structure V, vers les cristaux avec G-structure contenus dans D_cris(V). En utilisant la théorie des modules de Kisin, on donne une description de cette réduction en termes du groupe G, dans le cas où la représentation est (G-)ordinaire. Pour cela, il faut d'abord généraliser la construction de la filtration de Harder-Narasimhan des groupes p-divisibles, donnée par Fargues, aux modules de Kisin. / Fontaine’s D_cris functor allows us to associate an isocrystal to any crystalline representation. For a reductive group G, we study the reduction of lattices inside a germ of crystalline representations with G-structure V, to lattices (which are crystals) with G-structure inside D_cris(V). Using Kisin modules theory, we give a description of this reduction in terms of G, in the case when the representation V is (G-)ordinary. In order to do that, first we need to generalize Fargues’ construction of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration for p-divisible groups to Kisin modules.

Current debates about representations of female athletes in the media consist mainly of textual analyses research produced by scholars who observe the topic from different theoretical frameworks. To better comprehend the relation between women athletes and media’s representation of them, in particularly advertising, this thesis aims to converse with up-and-coming professional and collegiate sportswomen as a way to examine what kind of correlation, if any, there is between sports commercials’ portrayals of female athletes and their actual reality. As there has been a shift in sports marketing approaches towards women through ‘femvertising’ (which challenges traditional gender stereotypes), a common belief is that gender equality in sport has been achieved. Taken as my case study, I use Nike’s commercials I Feel Pretty (2006) and Dream Crazier (2019) as auxiliary ‘props’ to get the discussion about advertisements’ representations of female athletes off ground in my conversations with several women athletes. Nike stands as one of the most prominent sporting brands in the world, and since the early 90s, the brand has been leading in “female athlete empowerment” advertising. Thus, by conducting a focus group interview in addition to in-depth semi-structured interviews with women athletes from the United States and Europe, the analysis draws on a postfeminist critique as a way to better understand the relation between the representations of sportswomen in sport advertisements versus their real-life experiences. Ultimately, the results of this research work imply that even though sport brands make a good case for the visibility of sportswomen, it does not match the experiences of the female athletes without celebrity status. Finally, this thesis is a contribution to the field of media and communication studies as it privileges the voices of up-and-coming professional and collegiate female athletes. It serves in hope of inspiring other scholars to further investigate sport in relation to gender and media through the lived experiences of the sportswomen about which they theorize.

Soient $K$ un corps de nombres et $A$ une variété abélienne sur $K$ dont nous notons $g$ la dimension. Pour tout premier $ell$, le module de Tate $ell$-adique de $A$ nous fournit une représentation $ell$-adique du groupe de Galois absolu de $K$, et c'est à l'image de ces représentations galoisiennes que l'on s'intéresse dans cette thèse.Pour de nombreuses classes de variétés abéliennes on possède une description de ces images à une erreur finie près : le premier but de ce travail est de quantifier explicitement cette erreur dans plusieurs cas différents. On parvient à résoudre complètement le problème pour une courbe elliptique sans multiplication complexe, ou plus généralement pour un produit de telles courbes elliptiques, et pour toute variété abélienne géométriquement simple admettant multiplication complexe. Pour d'autres classes de variétés abéliennes $A/K$ on obtient seulement une description de l'image de Galois pour tout premier $ell$ plus grand qu'une certaine borne (que l'on calcule explicitement, et qui est polynomiale en le degré de $K$ et en la hauteur de Faltings de $A$) : nous prouvons de tels résultats pour toute surface abélienne semistable et géométriquement simple et pour les variétés dites "de type $operatorname{GL}_2$''. On montre également un résultat semblable, mais un peu affaibli, pour de nombreuses variétés abéliennes de dimension impaire dont l'anneau des endomorphismes est réduit à $mathbb{Z}$.On s'intéresse ensuite à l'action de Galois sur des variétés abéliennes non simples, et on donne des conditions suffisantes pour que les représentations galoisiennes qui leur sont associées se décomposent elles-mêmes en produit. Finalement on étudie l'intersection entre les extensions cyclotomiques d'un corps de nombres $K$ et les corps engendrés par les points de torsion d'une variété abélienne sur $K$, et on établit des propriétés d'uniformité des degrés de ces intersections. / Let $K$ be a number field and $A$ be a $g$-dimensional abelian variety over $K$. For every prime $ell$, the $ell$-adic Tate module of $A$ gives rise to an $ell$-adic representation of the absolute Galois group of $K$; in this thesis we set out to study the images of the Galois representations arising in this way.For various classes of abelian varieties a description of these images is known up to finite error, and the first aim of this work is to explicitly quantify this error for a number of different cases. We provide a complete solution for the case of elliptic curves without complex multiplication (and more generally for products thereof) and for geometrically simple abelian varieties of CM type. For other classes of abelian varieties we can only describe the Galois image when the prime $ell$ is above a certain bound (which we compute explicitly in terms of $A$, and which is polynomial in $[K:mathbb{Q}]$ and in the Faltings height of $A$): we obtain such results for geometrically simple, semistable abelian surfaces and for "$operatorname{GL}_2$-type" varieties. We also prove similar (but slightly weaker) results for many abelian varieties of odd dimension with trivial endomorphism algebra.We then consider the Galois action on non-simple abelian varieties, and we give sufficient conditions for the associated Galois representations to decompose as a product.Finally, we investigate the structure of the intersection between the cyclotomic extensions of a number field $K$ and the fields generated by the torsion points of an abelian variety over $K$, proving a uniformity property for the degrees of such intersections.

Ce travail vise à enrichir la connaissance du patrimoine à travers l’étude de ses représentations à la télévision. Il repose sur l’étude des programmes de la télévision française des années 1950 aux années 1990 qui ont traité de ce sujet, sans distinction de genre de programme ni de type de patrimoine. La télévision est devenue, au cours de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, le média le plus populaire auprès des Français. Dans le même temps, la notion de patrimoine s’est considérablement enrichie, son sens a muté, et son public s’est très largement renouvelé et popularisé. Cette thèse d’histoire se propose d’étudier les représentations d’un objet culturel dans un média de masse. L’enjeu est d’abord de mener l’étude d’un sujet à la télévision et de souligner les évolutions de son traitement, de sa programmation, de sa visibilité. Il s’agit également de comprendre comment les professionnels de la télévision entendent traiter ce sujet et ce qu’ils souhaitent proposer aux téléspectateurs. Comment le patrimoine est-il défini et présenté à la télévision ? Aussi, la télévision est un média qui a ses particularités. Il s’agit de comprendre si elle a affecté l’image du patrimoine. Ce faisant, il s’agira de comprendre comment la télévision a pu accompagner les évolutions de la notion et le renouvellement du public du patrimoine. / This doctoral dissertation aims at helping the understatement of cultural heritage (or patrimony) through the study of its representations (the way cultural history defines them) in a mass media. This works consists in the study of French television programs, aired form the early 1950s to the late 1990s. During this period, in France, television became the media with the biggest audience. Also, the notion of patrimony went through considerable changes, becoming a social phenomenon: and increasing number of French citizens, from all social backgrounds, became interested in heritage. First of all, this work is a study of a subject that was treated in a variety of genres, that became more and more visible over time, and its popularity rises both in and out of the medias. How did the producers and journalists defined patrimony and what did they intend to propose to the audience with it? This work ambitions to better understand the democratization of patrimony in the French society. Was television involved in any way in this change? This media, with its particularities, may have offered a different understanding of the notion, and the representations of patrimony on television may have affected le way viewers see it.

<div> <p> This dissertation examines medical representations, or what I call “fiction medicine,” in post-1949 Chinese literature and film. It is not uncommon to evaluate whether medical facts are scientifically portrayed in literary and cinematic works. Insightful and reasonable as this method is, the interpretation of relevant descriptions from a single medical perspective tends to exclude what may be labeled as misrepresentations from scholarly attention. Therefore, without judging the value of fiction medicine in accordance with scientific standards, this dissertation analyzes how and why medical (mis)representations are formed in the way they are shown, which allows me to unearth those factors, such as politics, international relations, ideology, and the like, that exert considerable influence on the construction of medical landscape in cultural works. </p> <p> By exploring the interaction between representations and medicine under the Chinese revolutionary context, I argue that during the socialist period (1949-78), while revolutionary concerns tightly regulated the writing of fiction medicine to consolidate the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s rule, the production of fiction medicine was not always monolithic, containing tensions and even resistances against the prevailing ideology. I also argue that, after 1978, although socialist fiction medicine was deconstructed in many ways, some remnants of its legacies have kept influencing contemporary literary and cinematic imaginations. Based on my main arguments, I will further explore why some socialist legacies were preserved and remained influential while others were abandoned as reminders of the past. I suggest that this phenomenon was highly related to the shifting goals of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the post-1978 political, ideological, and economic reorientation.</p> </div> <br>
