L’évolution des finalités de l’université québécoise dans un contexte de mondialisation : analyse critique des politiques publiques de 1998 à 2009

La présente recherche s’intéresse à l’évolution des finalités de l’université québécoise dans le contexte de mondialisation en opérant une analyse de contenu des politiques publiques concernant les universités (1998-2009). Notre démarche, qui s’ancre dans une approche socio-historique, a donné lieu à l’appréhension du concept de mondialisation par ses trois dimensions (économique, politique et culturelle), et celui des finalités de l’université par ses missions (formation, recherche et « troisième mission »). Le cadre conceptuel élaboré par la suite a permis d’examiner l’évolution des finalités de l’université dans sa complexité. L’analyse a permis de constater que les thématiques suivaient rarement une évolution linéaire, subissant tantôt une réification, tantôt une stagnation, ou carrément un changement de sens. L’analyse transversale des deux objets permet de dégager des tensions dialectiques qui s’alignent sur le mouvement des dimensions économique, politique et culturelle de la mondialisation. L’influence de la première entraîne un glissement sémantique qui redéfinit le rôle de l’université ainsi que la nature des savoirs à l’éclairage du discours sur l’économie des savoirs. Au plan de la dimension politique, l’application de la nouvelle gestion publique suscite aussi des glissements sémantiques, telle la réification de la définition de la qualité des missions. La dimension culturelle laisse quant à elle entrevoir une forme d’individualisation des rapports avec l’université, notamment en voyant le contrat social dans lequel l’université doit s’engager avec la société se déplacer vers un contrat de gestion. Si les documents font état d’une dichotomie entre savoirs désintéressés et savoirs utiles, il est proposé dans le cadre de cette recherche de dépasser ces oppositions qui finalement émergent de postures idéologiques.

El Proceso de evaluación y tratamiento

Se describen en detalle las diferentes fases del proceso de intervención en psicología clínica: 1) Contacto inicial y análisis del problema, 2) formulación y contraste de hipótesis explicativas (análisis funcional), 3) establecimiento de objetivos, 4) diseño del tratamiento, 5) aplicación del tratamiento y evaluación durante el mismo, 6) evaluación tras el tratamiento y terminación del mismo y 7) seguimiento. En la primera fase se consideran diversos aspectos: motivo de consulta y otros posibles problemas; análisis del problema en la actualidad; historia del problema; tratamientos previos y actuales; motivación, objetivos y expectativas; recursos y limitaciones del cliente; trastornos psicológicos asociados y trastornos anteriores; y ciertas áreas básicas de la vida del cliente. En la sexta fase se hace un especial hincapié en los criterios de significación clínico social.

Full complex Fresnel holograms displayed on liquid cristal displays

We propose a method to display full complex Fresnel holograms by adding the information displayed on two analogue ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulators. One of them works in real-only configuration and the other in imaginary-only mode. The Fresnel holograms are computed by backpropagating an object at a selected distance with the Fresnel transform. Then, displaying the real and imaginary parts on each panel, the object is reconstructed at that distance from the modulators by simple propagation of light. We present simulation results taking into account the specifications of the modulators as well as optical results. We have also studied the quality of reconstructions using only real, imaginary, amplitude or phase information. Although the real and imaginary reconstructions look acceptable for certain distances, full complex reconstruction is always better and is required when arbitrary distances are used.

Meteorological aspects of an abnormal cooling event over Iran in April 2009

During the period from 12 to 15 April, 2009 nearly the entire Iran, apart from the southern border, experienced an advective cooling event. While winter freezing concerns are typical, the nature of this freezing event was unusual with respect to its date of occurrence and accompanying synoptic meteorological situation. To analyze the freezing event, the relevant meteorological data at multiple levels of the atmosphere were examined from the NCEP/ NCAR reanalysis dataset. The results showed that a polar vortex was responsible for the freezing event over the country extending southward extraordinarily in such a way that its ridge influenced most parts of Iran. This was recognized as an abnormal extension of a polar vortex in the recent years. The sea-level pressure fields indicated that a ridge of large-scale anticyclone centered over Black Sea extended southward and prevailed over most parts of Iran. This resulted in the formation of a severe cold air advection from high latitudes (Polar region) over Iran. During the study period, moisture pumping was observed from the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf. The winds at 1000 hPa level blew with a magnitude of 10 m s-1 toward south in the region of convergence (between -2 9 10-6 s-1 and -12 9 10-6 s-1). The vertical profilesof temperature and humidity also indicated that the ICE structural icing occurred at multiple levels of the atmosphere, i.e, from 800 hPa through 400 hPa levels. In addition to the carburetor (or induction), icing occurred between 900 and 700 hPa levels in the selected radiosonde stations during the study period. In addition, the HYSPLIT backward trajectory model outputs were in quite good agreement with the observed synoptic features

Spatio-temporal variation of microphytoplankton in the upwelling system of the south-eastern Arabian Sea during the summer monsoon of 2009

The phytoplankton standing crop was assessed in detail along the South Eastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) during the different phases of coastal upwelling in 2009.During phase 1 intense upwelling was observed along the southern transects (8◦N and 8.5◦N). The maximum chlorophyll a concentration (22.7 mg m −3) was observed in the coastal waters off Thiruvananthapuram (8.5◦N). Further north there was no signature of upwelling, with extensive Trichodesmium erythraeum blooms. Diatoms dominated in these upwelling regions with the centric diatom Chaetoceros curvisetus being the dominant species along the 8◦N transect. Along the 8.5◦N transect pennate diatoms like Nitzschia seriata and Pseudo-nitzschia sp. dominated. During phase 2, upwelling of varying intensity was observed throughout the study area with maximum chlorophyll a concentrations along the 9◦N transect (25 mg m−3) with Chaetoceros curvisetus as the dominant phytoplankton. Along the 8.5◦N transect pennate diatoms during phase 1 were replaced by centric diatoms like Chaetoceros sp. The presence of solitary pennate diatoms Amphora sp. and Navicula sp. were significant in the waters off Kochi. Upwelling was waning during phase 3 and was confined to the coastal waters of the southern transects with the highest chlorophyll a concentration of 11.2 mg m−3. Along with diatoms, dinoflagellate cell densities increased in phases 2 and 3. In the northern transects (9◦N and 10◦N) the proportion of dinoflagellates was comparatively higher and was represented mainly by Protoperidinium spp., Ceratium spp. and Dinophysis spp.
