Lien Drewes
No full textLien married Dutch Drewes in Holland they have six children, four daughters and two sons. The family arrived in Darwin in 1959 and of her children started piano lessons. She decided to study musical theory and perception; by 1964 she had completed grades six and seven of the Australian Music Examinations Board. When the children's music teacher said she was leaving she convinced Lien that she could be trained to take her place. Although Lien was nervous to take on a role of teaching, she proved to be an excellent teacher and provided music instruction for many students over the last few decades. Visiting examiners and adjudicators have always highly praised the musical technical proficiency and polished presentation of her students. Lien was a strong supporter of the North Australian Eisteddfod and drama productions. She always welcomed new teachers and given them useful information and assistance in music.Music Educato

Enhancing TCP delivery over wireless networks
No full textWireless communication has become a significant life style in the daily use. The wireless communication can be used to extend the service of wired communication. Based on the idea
of simplicity, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) has been used widely over wired network. When network applications take place using wireless link, TCP is still useful because partial
wired connection might be necessary. Although wired and wireless communication do share something in common, they have distinct features. Therefore, TCP needs to be adjusted to
fit in the wireless environment.This research aims to enhance wireless TCP performance. In order to study network protocols and behaviours, network simulators are often used for researchers to configure and
monitor the network factors and system states. Unfortunately, most network simulators cannot demonstrate what the real network does. They are applications. In this research, a network simulator based on the real Linux TCP/IP stacks is proposed. This simulator is able to not only simulate the wired network, but also allow users to extend its structure for live wireless emulation. By means of simulator and emulator, researchers can understand and configure detail factors for further experiments. Eventually, a new wireless TCP enhancement is proposed.In this research, some contributions are delivered. Firstly, a network simulator based on Linux TCP stacks is implemented. Secondly, a wireless emulator and test environment are built, so the wireless factors can be configured and performance can be monitored. Thirdly, a wireless TCP mechanism, TCP NewZag, is proposed. Finally, several experiments to show the value of NewZag are reported in the thesis
Qui doit nourrir l'enfant dont le père est absent ? Le cas de la Belgique
No full textL'article s'inscrit dans le dossier thématique "Politiques du père" de la revue Lien social et politique - RIAC. L'auteur présente un aperçu de la manière dont se pose, en Belgique, la question « Qui doit nourrir l'enfant dont le père est absent ? », à la fois sur le plan socio-démographique et sur le plan politique et juridique. Après avoir tenté d'évaluer l'ampleur du phénomène des familles monoparentales matricentrées dans la Belgique contemporaine, il traite de la problématique au regard du droit civil puis du droit social. Il présente le dispositif public de lutte contre la pauvreté qui se met en œuvre, notamment, vis-à-vis des ménages à père absent confrontés à une situation de précarité sociale, et essaie de cerner le rôle joué par le départ du père dans la précarisation sociale des familles monoparentales matricentrées.Who is Responsible for Supporting the Child When the Father is Absent? The situation in Belgium The author of this paper outlines socio-demographic, political and legal issues in Belgium linked to the question of "who is responsible for supporting the child when the father is absent ?" After trying to assess the scope of the phenomenon of mother-headed single-parent families in Belgium today, he looks at the issues from the perspective of civil and social law. He examines current government measures to combat poverty, especially those targeted to households with an absent father that are faced with a precarious social and financial situation, and he attempts to determine the role the departure of the father has played in the increasingly precarious situation of mother-headed single-parent families
LIEN SOCIAL ET AUTORITÉ. Regards éthico-politique et économique sur la (post)modernité
No full texteditorial reviewedet ouvrage propose une réflexion sur le lien social, le statut de l'individu et de l'autorité dans les sociétés pré-modernes et postmodernes. Il s'agit d'une analyse des enjeux éthico-politiques et économiques caractérisant le tissu social de la période pré-moderne à nos jours. En quoi la vision moderne de l'autorité a-t-elle rompu avec celle des pré-modernes ? Quels sont les nouveaux fondements de l'autorité aujourd'hui ?L'Harmattan10. Reduced inequalitie
Le Père "impuissant" et l'objet a "impossible" : impasses adolescentes dans le lien social actuel
No full textThis PhD thesis is dedicated to a study on adolescence in the current social link. We put into relation several psychoanalytical concepts in order to acknowledge the difficulties of passing through adolescence that we observed in the Clinic.The methodology of this research is based on the study “CoPsyEnfant”. We used children’s and adolescents’ drawings in order to find out which are the identification models used today by children and adolescents. Clinical interviews and projective tests were used to help us to understand the subjectivity processes and hardships of adolescent passage in the current social link. The analysis of three clinical cases demonstrated several possible paths while passing through adolescence. We conclude on the question of the failure of the adolescent subject. The difficulty to grow can be heard today as the lack of desire to become an adult, as the impossible construction of the link to the big Other. At the end of this thesis we mention the Narcissus myth and the desiring subject’s destiny within a society which does not give the time to the desire to appear.Ce travail de thèse est consacré à l’étude de l’adolescence dans le lien social actuel. En mettant en lien plusieurs concepts psychanalytiques nous essayons de rendre compte des difficultés du passage adolescent que nous avons pu observer dans la clinique. Nous mettons en avant le lien entre le discours social ambiant et les difficultés que les adolescents peuvent éprouver aujourd’hui en tentant de devenir adulte. Nous concluons sur la question de la panne du sujet adolescent. Cette panne de l’adolescence n’est ni considérée comme une panne de l’Autre que chaque adolescent rencontre, ni comme une panne de la société mais comme une panne des processus mêmes de subjectivation. La difficulté de grandir peut être aujourd’hui entendu comme l’absence du désir de devenir adulte, comme l’impossible construction du lien à l’Autre. Nous évoquons à la fin de cette thèse le mythe de Narcisse et le destin du sujet désirant dans une société où on ne donne pas le temps au désir d’émerger
Assisting Whole-Farm Decision-Making through Stochastic Budgeting
No full textStochastic budgeting is used to simulate the business and financial risk and the performance over a six-year planning horizon on a Norwegian dairy farm. A major difficulty with stochastic whole-farm budgeting lies in identifying and measuring dependency relationships between stochastic variables. Some methods to account for these stochastic dependencies are illustrated. The financial feasibility of different investment and management strategies is evaluated. In contrast with earlier studies with stochastic farm budgeting, the option aspect is included in the analysis.Farm Management,
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
