Revealing otherness : a comparative examination of French and English medieval hagiographical romance
No full textThis dissertation is an analysis of three hagiographical romances written in France around the thirteenth century and later adapted into English. The texts are Ami et Amile, Robert le Diable and Florence de Rome and their English counterparts Amis and Amiloun, Sir Gowther and Le bone Florence of Rome. All six texts have been understudied, with the possible exception of Ami et Amile. They are linked in many ways, some thematic, some generic. They have all caused confusion and arguments as to what their genre is (Epic? Saint’s life? Romance? A combination of two or three genres?) and feature the defining notions of otherness, exile and penance. In spite of appearances, this work shows that the French and English authors prove to have quite different takes on the same stories. Drawing on Lacanian psychoanalysis and postcolonial theory, the chapters discuss the presence of otherness in the texts, in all its manifestations and offer new readings of the poems as well as possible solutions to the difficult question of genre in the middle ages. The many shapes taken by the other/Other (physical and emotional otherness; hybridity and gender) are exposed and utilised to uncover the meanings and ideological complexities of these multidimensional poems. This approach also reveals that the English texts propose a more conservative reading of common material than did their French originals. It is therefore suggested that the generic tendencies of these medieval texts be correlated with the importance of the Other in the respective redactions of the tales. Reading without consideration of these two factors produces a lopsided comparative view, while reading with both in mind leads to a better appreciation of rewriting and adaptation in the Middle Ages
Is There an Age Pattern in the Treatment of AMI? Evidence from Ontario
No full textIn this article we analyse the rates at which those admitted to hospital with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) receive aggressive treatment, assess how those rates have changed over time, and ask whether there is evidence of age discrepancies. Estimates made on the basis of data from an administrative database that includes discharges from all acute care hospitals in Ontario for selected years, from 1995 to 2005, indicate that there are strong and persistent age patterns in the application of medical technology. Results showed that to be true even after controlling for the higher rates of co-morbidities among older patients and variations across hospitals in practice patterns.treatment of AMI, age pattern

Appel à contribution : John Stuart Mill
No full textUn temps correspondant et admirateur de Comte, ami de Tocqueville, John Stuart Mill, qui dans sa jeunesse avait passé quelques mois à Montpellier et qui est enterré à Avignon, connaissait admirablement la France de son temps. Il est l’auteur d’une œuvre qui traite d’un grand nombre de sujets (logique et philosophie des sciences, psychologie, économie, politique, morale) et a exercé une influence considérable bien au delà du sol anglais. Souvent identifiée à tort à l'utilitarisme, sa pensée e..
Inovação da assistência metrológica industrial através de serviços e assessoramento remotos
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Mecânica.Tratar as atividades metrológicas associadas ao desenvolvimento de um produto levando em consideração os requisitos impostos pelo mercado à empresa moderna passou a ser considerada uma tarefa complexa. Tanto os aspectos técnicos das medições quanto o gerenciamento das informações têm exigindo processos informatizados, flexíveis e robustos. Buscando potencializar formas tradicionais de tratamento de demandas por soluções metrológicas através de recursos alternativos da tecnologia da informação, concebeu-se um sistema de Assistência Metrológica Industrial (AMI) desenhado para se inserir como um "produto" de um novo conceito de relacionamento entre Centro Metrológico e Indústria, o LASAR - Laboratório Associado de Serviços e Assessoramento Remotos. O LASAR baseia-se na utilização da Internet e demais ferramentas dispostas pelas atuais tecnologias da informação e comunicação para potencializar as oportunidades de compartilhamento de dados e prestação de serviços de gestão, disposição de informação e treinamento, remotamente, entre empresa e centro tecnológico. O trabalho introduz esses conceitos, apresentando uma concepção modular de funções do sistema de AMI, desenvolvido com base em diagnóstico de necessidades de usuários de serviços metrológicos e uso de síntese funcional de sistemas. Os métodos inicialmente explorados contemplam métodos de Gerenciamento de Sistemas de Medição (GSM) e são submetidos a testes em campo através de estudos de caso em indústrias metal-mecânicas. Os resultados alcançados demonstram praticidade, flexibilidade e factibilidade de aplicação do sistema no ambiente industrial, assim como resultados positivos na sua prática, afirmando as possibilidades de assistência metrológica industrial por meios remotos
John Stuart & James Mill : un modèle d’éducation utilitariste dépourvu d’affects
No full textL’éducation de l’économiste John Stuart Mill est sans aucun doute l’une des expériences les plus inhabituelles qui aient été orchestrées par un tuteur ou un père au cours de l’histoire humaine. Conçue et planifiée par son père, James Mill, ainsi que par son plus fidèle ami, le philosophe Jeremy Bentham, l’éducation du jeune Mill a pour dessein d’en faire un défenseur actif de la philosophie utilitariste. La vie de John Stuart Mill illustre cependant de façon remarquable comment la transmission d’une forme éducative – mais également la prise de distance vis-à-vis de cette forme – construit autant qu’elle modifie une démarche scientifique en même temps qu’elle bouleverse la trajectoire d’une vie. Dans cet article, nous recherchons, au travers et au-delà du témoignage délivré par l’auteur dans ses Mémoires, les traces des contraintes drastiques de l’éducation qu’il reçoit ainsi que celles de sa transformation à la suite de la crise existentielle qu’il connaît à la sortie de son adolescence. Nous montrons en particulier comment le recouvrement de sa sensibilité a infléchi la pensée scientifique de John Stuart Mill – et notamment la portée de l’utilitarisme (qu’il conserve tout en l’amendant) – ainsi que le cours de sa vie affective (sa rencontre avec Harriet Taylor).The education of the economist John Stuart Mill is undoubtedly one of the most unusual experiences orchestrated by a tutor or father in human history. Conceived and planned by his father, James Mill, and his most faithful friend, the philosopher Jeremy Bentham, Mill’s education was designed to make him an active defender of utilitarian philosophy. The life of John Stuart Mill, however, is a remarkable illustration of how the transmission of an educational form - but also the distancing from it - builds as much as it modifies a scientific approach at the same time as it changes the trajectory of a life. In this article, we seek, through and beyond the testimony given by the author in his Memoirs, the traces of the drastic constraints of the education he receives as well as those of its transformation following the existential crisis he experiences at the end of his adolescence. In particular, we show how the recovery of his sensibility influenced John Stuart Mill’s scientific thinking - and in particular the scope of utilitarianism (which he retained while amending it) - as well as the course of his affective life (his meeting with Harriet Taylor)
Hybrid Key Management Scheme for Secure AMI Communications
No full textAbstractAdvanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is an essential attribute of Smart Grid. To ensure secure communication for smart metering one must ensure that the data which is sent or received is authorized and confidential. This article deals with a hybrid encryption scheme for unicast, multicast and broadcast communication in AMI. To ensure confidentiality, integrity and authenticity, a Key Management Scheme (KMS) for hybrid communication modes is proposed. The proposed scheme provides excellent level of security and reduces the computational load on Smart Meter (SM)
