Deux figures anti-colonialistes dans le théâtre négro-africain, les exemples des héroïnes éponymes de Beatrice du Congo et Aliin Sitooye Jaata ou La dame de Kabrus
No full textRésumé : L’objectif visé dans ce travail est d’analyser les rôles décisifs de deux résistantes anti-coloniales à travers Béatrice du Congo et Aliin Sitooye Jaata ou la dame de Kabrus. Dans ces pièces théâtrales, les auteurs, respectivement Bernard Dadié et Marouba Fall, mettent en relief les actes révolutionnaires de deux héroïnes africaines. Par une approche thématico-stylistique et une méthode comparatiste, notre article a pu révéler les luttes menées par les prêtresses Béatrice et Aliin Sitooye pour contester l’autorité coloniale.

The computer simulation and prediction of rock fall
No full textThis thesis deals with the study of rock falls using a mathematical model, codified for computer use, entitled GeoFall. GeoFall, which was developed by the author, allows predictions to be made of rock fall trajectories, run out distances and kinetic energies for a rock of any arbitrary shape. Its main purpose is to assist in the design of remedial works. The mathematical model is based on rigid body mechanics, and analyses a fall in 2D space using a new theory of impact dynamics developed by Brach (1991). The main features and algorithms of the program are presented in this thesis. The performance of GeoFall was evaluated by comparing actual rock fall events described in several published papers with the output created by GeoFall. Also the output from GeoFall has been compared with the output from other rock fall simulation programs used to simulate the documented rockfalls. A new rock slope inventory system entitled the Rock Fall Risk Assessment System (RFRAS) has been developed by the author to determine the rock fall risk at specific rock fall sites. It consists of three phases of inspection, the slope survey, and the preliminary and detailed rating phases. The detailed rating phase uses 13 parameters that when assessed, evaluated and totalled, numerically differentiates slopes from the least to the most hazardous producing an overall rating in the range 21-1926. It not only allows the relative risk of rockfall between slopes to be assessed but it also categorises the rock fall risk and the potential number of future rockfalls. It has been tested on 18 slopes at ten locations in County Durham. The final part of the thesis details a new laboratory based procedure that can be used to determine the coefficients of restitution for any type of rock material. The normal coefficient of restitution has been determined for seven different types of rock, and the tangential coefficient of restitution has been determined for a local sandstone. Some tentative correlations between the normal coefficient of restitution and the rocks physical properties, such as its Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) have been presented
Leadership transformationnel et performance au travail : rôle médiateur de la motivation autonome des salariés dans un hôpital public sénégalais
No full textCette recherche examine les liens entre la perception d’un leadership transformationnel, la motivation autonome des salariés et leur performance au travail. Elle explore plus précisément l’effet médiateur de la motivation autonome, considérée comme la forme de motivation la plus adaptée pour développer des performances durables (Gagné et Deci, 2005; Gagné et Forest, 2009; Roussel et Fall, 2021). Réalisée sur un échantillon de convenance de 158 agents d’un hôpital public sénégalais, les résultats, issus de la démarche des équations structurelles et du test des effets indirects, révèlent que la perception d’un leadership transformationnel agit effectivement sur la motivation autonome des agents, mais également sur leur performance dans la tâche. Toutefois, elle n’agit pas directement sur leur performance contextuelle. En revanche, la motivation autonome des agents exerce un effet médiateur total entre la perception d’un leadership transformationnel et la performance contextuelle. Elle exerce par contre, un effet médiateur partiel entre le leadership transformationnel et la performance dans la tâche.This research examines the relationship between the perception of transformational leadership, the autonomous motivation of employees and their performance at work. More specifically, it explores the mediating effect of autonomous motivation, considered to be the most suitable form of motivation for the development of a sustainable performance (Gagné et Deci, 2005; Gagné et Forest, 2009; Roussel et Fall, 2021). The data come from a survey of 158 workers, drawn through a convenience sampling, of a Senegalese public hospital. The results, from a structural equations approach and the test of the indirect effects, reveal that the perception of transformational leadership has an effect on the autonomous motivation of the agents, and on their job performance. However, it does not directly affect the contextual performance of the agents. On the other hand, the autonomous motivation of agents exerts a total mediating effect between the perception of a transformational leadership and contextual performance. However, it exerts only a partial mediating effect between transformational leadership and performance in the task
The rise and fall of the Labour league of youth
No full textThis thesis charts the rise and fall of the Labour Party’s first and most enduring youth organisation, the Labour League of Youth. The history of the League, from its birth in the early nineteen twenties to its demise in the late nineteen fifties, is placed in the context of the Labour Party’s subsequent fruitless attempts to establish and maintain a vibrant and functional youth organisation. A narrative is incorporated that illuminates the culture, organisation and political activism of the League and establishes it as a predominantly working class radical organisation. The reluctance on the part of the Labour Party to grant autonomy to its youth sections resulted in the history of the League of Youth being one of control, suppression and tension. This state of affairs ensured that subsequent youth groups, the Young Socialists and Young Labour, would be established in an atmosphere of reservation and scepticism.
The thesis places the prime responsibility for the failure of the party’s youth organisations with the party leadership but also considers the contributory factors of changing social and political circumstances. A number of themes are explored which include the impact of structure and agency factors, the power of the Parliamentary Labour Party, the political socialisation of leading figures within the party, the social context in which each of the groups emerged and the extent to which the youth groups were prey to intra-party factionalism.
The thesis redresses the balance of research where most accounts have focussed on the Young Socialists and traces the common characteristics that are prevalent in the way the party leadership has approached its relationship with its youth organisations. Use has been made of previously unpublished primary source material, the major source being the League of Youth members themselves whose recollections have helped to demonstrate the arguments put forward in this thesis
The importance of mediation and dissemination of knowledge in oceanographic and marine libraries
No full textAnalyse des dispositifs participatives comme approche gestion pour la préservation des Sélaciens dans le Parc National du Banc d'Arguin (PNBA)
No full textDans cet article nous discutons de la gestion participative de la pêche des sélaciens dans le PNBA. Depuis plusieurs années maintenant, le PNBA a adopté depuis 1998, une démarche participative impliquant la communauté résidente Imraguen dans les prises de décisions. Nous essayons de montrer que malgré une démarche concertée et une mesure d’interdiction de ciblage de ses espèces dans le PNBA depuis 20003, leurs captures restent importantes dans cette AMP. Les mécanismes de concertation avec la population initiés par la direction du PNBA n’ont pas servi à stopper et à limiter leurs captures parce que les Imraguen sont rentrés dans des logiques commerciales et marchandes. Bien que la pêche de l’espèce de requin qui a fait l’objet de mesure d’interdiction ait été abandonnée, les pêcheurs continuent de cibler d’autres espèces de sélaciens en s’orientant vers d’autres engins comme le filet courbine. Cela témoigne que les cadres de concertations ou « espaces publiques » qui ont été mis en place dans le PNBA (« comités villageois » de pêche ou « journées de concertations annuelles ») ne fonctionnent pas, notamment du fait d’un défaut de représentation et d’appropriation de ces espaces publics par les Imraguen eux-mêmes
