Le continent africain est particulièrement marqué depuis la fin de la guerre froide par unerésurgence des conflits armés internes. L’incapacité de l’organisation de l’Unité Africaine, principaleorganisation continentale depuis sa création en 1963, à prévenir de tels conflits, a contraint ses Etatsmembres à restructurer l’ensemble du dispositif institutionnel, normatif et opérationnel du systèmerégional de maintien de la paix et de la sécurité. La création de l’Union Africaine et le développementde son architecture de paix et de sécurité au début des années 2000, a auguré d’une évolution du cadreinstitutionnel continental de la prévention des conflits armés. En instituant la démocratie et la paixcomme des préalables à son objectif principal de développement, l’Union Africaine, dans unearticulation délicate mais ambitieuse avec les communautés économiques régionales, s’est approprié laprévention régionale des conflits armés, par une approche contemporaine qui repose surl’identification des diverses causes de ces conflits, afin de développer des moyens spécifiques pour lesprévenir. / Le continent africain est particulièrement marqué depuis la fin de la guerre froide par unerésurgence des conflits armés internes.

The quest for a better way to learn and teach programming, in particular object-oriented programming, is a challenge that continues to intrigue computer science educators. Even after decades of research in learning to program, educators still search for the optimal instructional approach that will solve the `learning to program effectively' problem among introductory programming students. The aim of this study was to gain insight into, and to suggest possible explanations for, the "qualitatively different ways" in which students experience learning to program using an object-oriented programming language, and to recommend teaching and learning strategies as a result of the outcomes of the research. In order to achieve these aims, a combination of phenomenographic research methods and elements of activity theory have been employed to gain an in depth understanding of pre- and in-service teachers' learning experiences. The categories of description for the phenomenon, learning to program and the influence of the learning context have been analysed and described in detail. It is argued that understanding learning to program using Java, in order to teach programming involves more than understanding learning to program as it is normally taught in university programming courses. In addition to object-oriented concepts such as message passing, inheritance, polymorphism, delegation and overriding, it entails understanding how learning to program is reflected in the goals of instruction and in different instructional practices. Knowledge of learning to program must also be linked to knowledge of students' thinking, so that teachers have conceptions of typical trajectories of student learning, and can use this knowledge to recognize landmarks of understanding in individuals. The findings suggest relationships among students' affective appraisals of the value of learning to program, their conceptions of learning to program, their approaches to learning it, their evaluations of their performance in tests and examinations and outcomes of their actions. The relationships emerged from student descriptions of their actions and the way in which different aspects of their learning and outcomes related to one another were qualitatively described and in some cases, quantified. In particular, the tensions between prior programming knowledge of a procedural language and current learning of an object-oriented language have emerged in the study. This has implications for teaching, as this study was set against the backdrop of the change in programming language in high schools, from a procedural to an object-oriented language. / Mathematical Sciences / PhD (Maths, Science and Technology Education)

My thesis examines relations among practitioners of various religions, especially Christians and Jews, during the era when Jesus’ project went from being a Galilean sect, to a persecuted minority, to religio licita status, and eventually to imperial favor, all happening between the first century resurrection of Jesus and the fourth century rise of Constantine. There is an abiding image of the Church in wider public consciousness that it is unwittingly and in some cases antagonistically exclusionist. This is not a late-developing image. I trace it to the period that the church developed into a formal organization with the establishment of canons and creeds defined by Church councils. This notion is so pervasive that an historical retrospective of Christianity of any period, from the sect that became a movement, to the Reformation, to the present day’s multiple Christian iterations, is framed by the late Patristic era. The conflicts and solutions reached in that period provided enduring definition to the Church while silencing dissent. I refer here to such actions as the destruction of books and letters and the banishment of bishops. Before there emerged the urgent perceived need for doctrinal uniformity, the presence of Christianity provided a resilient non-militant opponent to and an increasing intellectual critique of all religious traditions, including that of the official gods that were seen to hold the empire together. When glaringly manifest cleavages in the empire persisted, the Emperor Constantine sought to use the church to help bring political unity. He called for church councils, starting with Nicaea in 325 CE that took no account for churches outside the Roman Empire, and many within, even though councils were called “Ecumenical.” The presumption that the church was fully representative without asking for permission from a broader field of constituents is just that: a presumption. This thesis studies the ancient world of Christianity’s growth to explore whether, in that age of new and untested toleration, there was a more advisable way of responding to the invitation to the political table. The answer to this can help us formulate, and perhaps revise, some of our conduct today, especially for Christians who obtain a voice in powerful places. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.

This thesis deals with a topic of evaluation of pupils in the elementary schools. The theoretical part is focused on the characteristics of basic concepts of evaluation namely its functions, types, forms, values and current problems. It also describes evaluated activities in the school subjects Czech and English language and the ways of evaluation of these activities. For explorational probe of practical part of thesis was used a method of controlled conversations that explored different ways and forms of evaluation that are used by particular teachers of Czech and English language in the elementary schools. The goal of practical part was to explore the attitudes to evaluation of pupils in the elementary schools in the subjects of Czech and English language.

L'entité territoriale infra-étatique se présente comme une réalité institutionnelle pluriforme et géographiquement éclatée de la dimension régionale et locale des États membres au sein de l'Union européenne. Son statut juridique en droit de l'Union s'est construit en grande partie sous l'impulsion juridictionnelle. L'examen de la jurisprudence de la Cour de justice permet d'identifier et de caractériser ce statut juridique. On constate qu'il a en droit de l'Union un caractère ambivalent et hybride du fait des spécificités de ce système juridique. D'une part, la Cour de justice assimile l'entité territoriale infra-étatique tantôt au statut d'État membre, tantôt au statut de particuliers. Cette ambivalence statutaire en tant que sujet de cet ordre juridique résulte des spécificités de la mission du juge de l'Union. Celui-ci doit assurer la suprématie du droit de l'Union dans les ordres juridiques internes et dans l'ordre juridique de l'Union. D'autre part, la Cour fait de l'entité territoriale infra-étatique un objet de réglementation du droit de l'Union. Elle doit tenir compte des exigences de cette dimension régionale et locale des États membres. Elle encadre l'action normative de l'entité territoriale infra-étatique en vue de la réalisation de l'intégration européenne, et dans le même temps développe un corpus normatif spécifique aux outre-mers. On constate également qu'elle contribue à la mise en œuvre du corpus normatif applicable aux entités territoriales infra-étatiques. / The infra-State body represents a pluriform institutional reality and a fragmented geographical reality of the regional and local dimension in EU Member States. Its European legal status is appeared in large part under jurisdictional impetus. The review of the case law of the Court allows to identify and to characterize this legal status. We note that European legal status of the regional or local authority is ambivalent and hybrid in character because of this specificities of the legal system of the European Union. On the one hand, the regional or local authority is assimilated sometimes to the status of the EU Member States, sometimes to the status of the individuals. That ambivalence in terms of legal status, as a subject to European law, cornes from the specificities of the mission of the Court. The Court must be insuring the primacy of European law into national legal systems and into the legal order of the European Union. On the other hand, the Court should consider the requirements of the regional and local dimension of EU Member State. The infra-State body is as an object to EU regulation. The normative action of the regional or local authority is supervised with a view to european integration, and at the same time, a special normative body for overseas regions has developed. We note that the Court contributes to define the normative corpus applying to the regional and local dimension in EU Member States.
