No full textTese de Doutoramento em Didática das Línguas - Multilinguismo e Educação para a Cidadania Global em associação com a Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, apresentada à Universidade AbertaApós a entrada no novo século, o processo de democratização do ensino superior
acelerou, ao mesmo tempo que se estreitou a relação entre o ensino superior e o
desenvolvimento socioeconómico.
O crescente acesso ao ensino superior na China conduziu a uma mudança fundamental
nas oportunidades de emprego dos detentores de um grau universitário, nomeadamente
com cursos de línguas estrangeiras, que enfrentam uma pressão crescente no mercado
de trabalho. A sociedade chinesa tem demonstrado particular preocupação com grupos
especiais, criando por exemplo escolas de formação profissional de línguas estrangeiras.
Na base da sua própria experiência no ensino de português na China, a autora pretende
contribuir para a evolução profissional na área da educação e ensino desta língua. Neste
contexto, deixa algumas sugestões para a reforma dos cursos de Língua Portuguesa nos
Institutos de Línguas Estrangeiras de Formação Profissional, área da sua especialização
académica.After the entry into the new century, the process of democratization of higher education
accelerated, and the relationship between higher education and socio-economic
development became even closer.
Increasing access to higher education in China has led to a fundamental change in the
job opportunities of college graduates, notably of the foreign language courses, which
face increasing pressure on the labor market. Chinese society has been particularly
concerned about special groups, for example by setting up vocational training schools for
foreign languages.
Based on her own experience in teaching Portuguese in China, the author intends to
contribute to the professional development of the Portuguese language education and
teaching. In this context, she gives some suggestions for the reform of Portuguese
Language courses at the Foreign Language Institutes of Vocational Training, her area of
academic specialization.N/

What is common may be as important as what is different: examining the general factor shared by dispositional shame and guilt using bi-factor models
No full textPrevious research on shame and guilt has tended to focus on their unique associations with other variables. It has become commonplace to eliminate the substantial shared variance with shame when examining guilt, and to eliminate shared variance with guilt when examining shame. What previous research has typically not done is to examine the variance shared by shame and guilt. In a series of three studies, we addressed this issue by employing bi-factor models to examine the general factor shared by shame and guilt, and its relationship to several important personality traits and two broad liability factors of psychopathology (i.e., externalizing and internalizing psychopathology). As hypothesized, the general factor shared by shame and guilt was strongly and positively associated with personality traits associated with moral emotions (empathy, agreeableness and conscientiousness), and strongly but inversely associated with both self-reported and informant-reported externalizing psychopathology. The general factor was also associated with self-consciousness, but not with self-criticism, vulnerable narcissism or neuroticism. The implications of these findings are discussed regarding the conceptualization of shame and guilt.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-08-01The student, Wenting Mu, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-13 at 09:14.The student, Wenting Mu, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-04-13 at 09:24.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-04-17 at 17:21.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12229 on 2018-09-27 at 11:15:30Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-27T16:27:59Z (GMT).

Local Universities as Engines for Innovation and Regional Development in Southern Economies with Reference to MOROCCO
No full textAbstract: The objective of this paper is to show that universities can be engines for local development in Southern economies. Previous contributions to the literature on this subject have already shown the positive effects of regional sources of tacit knowledge on local development. Using data on developed, developing and emerging countries, regression analysis is pursued with the available data. The attained results show that developing economies do have room for local development as this can be further provided by regional universities and schools. These potential gains have been expressed to be higher for developing and emerging countries. These results imply that developing and emerging countries can enhance their local and overall development through the promotion of local universities and schools but these sources of skills and knowledge need to be tied with the local needs of the population as in developed countries. The case of Morocco illustrates the potential and positive effects of regional universities on local development. The transmission channel includes encouragement of skills, access to patents and intellectual property rights protection besides enterprise creation and implementation. These trends are likely to be accelerated within the regionalization process and the role of regional knowledge centers.universities-innovations-local development-Southern countries-Morocco

Efficient checkpoint and recovery scheme in a fast in-memory database
No full textThesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2014.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 61-62).Multicore in-memory databases for modern machines can support extraordinarily high transaction rates for online transaction processing workloads. A potential weakness of such databases, however, is recovery from crash failures. We show that techniques for disk-based persistence can be ecient enough to keep up with current systems' huge memory sizes and fast transaction rates, be smart enough to avoid additional contention, and provide fast recovery. This thesis presents SiloR, a persistence system built for a very fast multicore database system called Silo. We show that naive logging and checkpoints make normal-case execution slower, but that careful design of the persistence system allows us to keep up with many workloads without negative impact on runtime performance. We design the checkpoint and logging system to utilize multicore's resources to its fullest extent, both during runtime and during recovery. Parallelism allows the system to recover fast. Experiments show that a large database (~~ 50 GB) can be recovered in under five minutes.by Wenting Zheng.M. Eng
Track model for predicting dynamic responses of railroad bridge approaches
No full textThis research study focused on the development of a novel train-track-bridge model that can analytically tackle the difficult problem of a railway track transition zone and effectively simulate the dynamic response of a bridge approach subjected to moving train loads. The scope of the research encompassed statistical field data analysis, analytical model derivation, algorithmic developments, as well as experimental validation for the track model to provide improved design and maintenance practices. The objective was to better understand governing mechanisms of bridge approach problems that occur near bridge abutments using a field validated train-track-bridge model, study problems associated with differential settlement, hanging ties, impact loads and various lack of support conditions, select mitigation methods for existing deficiencies, and as a result, formulate improved bridge approach designs. The first task in this PhD study involved identification of problematic track bridge approach locations that experienced recurring differential movements for field instrumentation, performance monitoring, and conducting field data collection and interpretation along the US Amtrak Northeast Corridor lines near Chester, Pennsylvania. Multidepth Deflectometers (MDDs) were installed at the selected bridge approaches to monitor individual layer deformations of track substructure layers. Besides MDDs, strain gauges were also mounted on the rail at the instrumented sites to measure vertical wheel loads applied during the passage of a train. Statistical analyses were conducted on the collected field data to quantify track transient response and performance trends at the studied bridge approaches. Field collected data indicated one significant problem occurring at the instrumented bridge approaches, also known as the “hanging crosstie” problem, which is caused by several sequential crossties near the bridge abutment experiencing lack-of-support. These crossties with gaps formed underneath undergo oscillatory motion as the dynamic loading from moving wheels push and pull these crossties through rail deformations. As a result, the nonuniform support conditions of the track substructure worsen drastically and can result in extremely high deformations including heave condition due to train passage.
This dissertation developed a ballasted train-track-bridge model and an analytical solution scheme for both open track (regular track) and near bridge (with severe “hanging crosstie” problem) locations. The simulation results from the developed ballasted train-track-bridge model matched well with the deformation data collected from the field instrumentation to properly validate the analytical solution scheme. Then, using the field validated track model, various mitigation methods, including changing rail pad stiffness, ballast stiffness, subgrade stiffness, and crosstie spacing, applicable to track bridge approaches were studied and discussed. Furthermore, details on two successfully applied mitigation methods, namely, (i) converting an open deck bridge to ballasted deck bridge and (ii) installation of a new track panel consisting of approximately 30 concrete ties with Under Tie Pads (UTPs) at a bridge entrance on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor high speed passenger lines, were presented.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-08-01The student, Wenting Hou, accepted the attached license on 2020-06-08 at 13:37.The student, Wenting Hou, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2020-06-08 at 13:56.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2020-06-11 at 11:14.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15439 on 2020-10-02 at 15:49:14Made available in DSpace on 2020-10-07T22:48:05Z (GMT).

Le cahier de Zhou Wenting
No full textLe sens commun affirme : « [Hors de l’Occident savant] la partition n’est qu’un aide-mémoire » ; dire cela, c’est faire sien un cliché moderne, ou occidental, ou les deux ; loin de là, la partition est en Orient le signe d’une transmission achevée, une trace, une mémoire, un legs, un don. Nous présentons donc un processus à l’œuvre à travers la rencontre en 1999 dans la campagne du Hebei, près de Pékin, avec un musicien de village : l’analyse de son cahier de musique manuscrit personnel montre qu’il contient des pièces identiques à celles recopiées par Joseph-Marie Amiot et envoyées en France (où elles sont détenues) en 1779. Ici les distinctions entre musiques profanes et religieuses, musiques de cour et de villages, présent et histoire, éclatent au profit d’un processus que l’on appelle tradition et qui est de la musique. Il s’agit pour nous, partant d’un matériau sélectionné et représentatif d’une tradition vivante implantée et documentée dans la longue durée, de situer la notation musicale, l’écrit, la trace, le témoin, dans la chaîne de la transmission qui est constitutive de toute tradition. Ici, l’opposition ne se fait pas entre tradition prétendument orale et ce qui s’en distinguerait, l’écrit, mais entre la tradition et ce qui n’en relève pas, en particulier les recueils publiés sans contrôle des interprètes légitimes
