abstract = {On the Trail of Actors Who Write is a study of two digital cases of collaborative writing in a Norwegian lower secondary school class. The study maps, analyzes and discusses the writing process in two collaborative writing groups, consisting of six students – in close collaboration with software, texts from the Internet and other digital actors, during three double lessons in February 2020.

The study applies socio-material theory to writing in school contexts. The conceptual framework is based on actor-network theory (ANT), theories of linguistic materiality, visual network analysis (VNA) and case study methodology. The collected material in the study consists of both quantitative and qualitative data: student texts and source texts, video and screen recordings, and also interviews with the teacher and students participating in the project.

Central to the study is the question of how human and digital actors interact while writing, and which role technology plays in this process. The study reveals that the student texts are produced through a number of negotiations and trials of strength between students, search engines, digital source texts and writing software. Search engines greatly influence the planning processes in that they select, prioritize and promote other actors' texts, and indeed specific parts of these texts. The source texts affect the composition of student texts by circulating, replicating and, in some cases, mutating the linguistic material into

their texts. Writing software affects students' spelling through writing suggestions and corrective interruptions in the digital environment. The production of the student texts can thus be seen as transformations of linguistic material originating in the digital actors that participate in the writing process, and to some extent originating in the students themselves.

In several of the situations observed in these two collaborative writing cases, it is the digital actors that seem to have the greatest power of negotiation and impact. A practical implication for writing education can therefore be to strengthen lower secondary school students' critical approach and ability to negotiate with digital actors, so that students can make more independent choices while writing, also when collaboratively writing with each other and through digital technology.},

abstract = {The electricity operators on the island of Ireland have policy objectives to generate at least 70% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The source of this renewable power will mainly be wind and storage is needed to facilitate this transition. However, to date the roll out and market uptake of storage has been slow in the Irish grid. Therefore, this research undertook a market analysis of the technical and economic value of distributed mass energy storage to examine storage considering these targets. The research uses the Irish market as a case study with specific modelling on the Northern Ireland system which is a subset of the overall market. The modelling and the results of the research are applicable and relevant to all regions which operate with a high share of renewables. The research had four parts. In part 1, a global techno-economic review of the status of energy storage and power quality services focusing on ten countries with differing political, social, and economic trends was undertaken. This led to a combined strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) appraisal informed by the data and information from the ten countries response to embedded and distributed renewable generation and storage. The SWOT analysis is then coupled to a Pugh chart to indicate optimal concept choice in the later analyses. Then in part 2, a gap analysis of the ten countries to determine the frameworks and approaches used to regulate, plan, and operate retail electricity markets was carried out in order to inform the modelling. Next in part 3, a suite of financial models was developed to quantify the market revenue available for battery storage investment that could provide ancillary services, network congestion relief and response to local system events. Then a dynamic economic dispatch model in MATLAB was developed to test the economic production schedule with and without battery storage and a unit commitment model was developed to determine the costs of providing system reserve using fossil fuel generation so a comparison could be made in the scenario where the reserve is provided by battery storage. The key finding is that the revenue available from the current schemes are insufficient to attract investment in energy storage. It is recommended that system operators reform the existing schemes, design new schemes and look to the wider benefits that energy storage brings to fossil fuels generation. Finally, in part 4, a unit commitment wholesale electricity market model of the SEM focusing on the Northern Ireland system was developed in Energy Exemplar's PLEXOS for Power Systems. It makes for an interesting case study for other jurisdictions as it is an electrically isolated grid with limited interconnection and storage but operating with a high share of renewables. Here four combinations of wind generation and load were assessed to measure the effect of varying levels of battery storage. The benefits of storage were clearly demonstrated with reductions in emission levels and generation costs, load smoothing, ramping reduction, reduced maintenance and reduced curtailment of renewables. For example, the monthly model run with 300 MW of battery storage at 70% SNSP resulted in a generation cost decrease of £500k, an emission decrease of 28k tonnes CO2, and total ramping decrease of 478 hours compared to the no storage scenario. Currently revenue streams for provision of these benefits associated with generation and demonstrated by the modelling do not exist. Therefore, it is recommended that these services are properly valued in order to attract future investment. Overall, this research clearly demonstrates the gap that exists between the positive benefits of battery storage and the less than adequate revenue being pitched to attract investment into technology to achieve climate change targets with recommendations made to address this based on the findings. In fact, an optimum level of storage exists which is dependent on demand and wind generation. The research in this thesis indicates this level to be between 200 MW and 300 MW. A report published in the year 2021 by the system operator stated an expected storage in Northern Ireland of 200 MW by 2030. Therefore, this expected storage rating needs revised based on the results of the research. The key recommendation is that the regulators and the grid operators urgently revisit the current schemes and restructure them otherwise we may have power quality and supply issues into the future as current fossil fuel, mainly gas generators are mothballed. },

abstract = {Dès la fin des années 1950, l'irruption des calculateurs électroniques dans les sciences humaines et sociales a profondément affecté les pratiques des chercheurs qui se sont saisis de ces nouveaux outils de classement et de calcul. Cette thèse vise à analyser certaines transformations historiographiques que ces innovations techniques ont provoquées, en se concentrant sur un large groupe d’historiens médiévistes mettant en œuvre ces instruments pour mener leurs recherches entre 1966 et 1990.

Mes problématiques s’organisent autour de deux préoccupations principales. Tout d’abord, ce travail s’interroge sur l’apparition de nouvelles formes d’organisation collective de la recherche, à l’échelle des équipes de recherche comme de la discipline elle-même. Ma thèse montre comment ces formes s’articulent à la production, à la manipulation et à la mise en circulation de nouveaux types de textes (bordereaux de saisies, cartes perforées, programmes informatiques, manuels de codage, mais également bulletin de liaison).

De plus, cette thèse se propose d’analyser les transformations des méthodes des historiens liées à l’utilisation des moyens électroniques. J’y mets en évidence que le recours aux calculateurs électroniques et aux ensembles de savoirs associés à leurs utilisations (analyse de données, analyse automatique de textes, informatique documentaire) impliquait l’emploi de technologies intellectuelles (matrices, graphes, listes, index, inventaires, thesaurus, etc...) qui requéraient une formalisation accrue des opérations de recherche des médiévistes, tout en étant dotées, dans ce contexte de fonctions originales.

Pour travailler à ces problématiques, la méthodologie développée dans ce travail repose sur deux convictions. Tout d’abord, j’y développe l’idée qu’il faut appliquer à l’histoire des sciences humaines et sociales les méthodes développées par les historiens

des sciences. Ensuite, celle qu’il est nécessaire, pour saisir les pratiques des historiens, d’étudier les textes sur lesquels reposent ces pratiques. Cette seconde direction nous a conduit à emprunter des méthodes de recherche à la linguistique, et en particulier à l’analyse de discours.

Cette thèse est ainsi construite en trois parties. Dans la première, je propose une analyse de deux projets de recherches menés par des médiévistes français entre 1966 et 1990, aux fins de comparer leurs organisations collectives (taille des équipes, présence d’informaticien, type de financement, outils de calculs employés), les influences extra-disciplinaires qu’ils subissent dans l’élaboration de leurs méthodes (démographie, géographie, linguistique, sociologie), mais aussi les méthodes qu’ils mettent en œuvre (lexicométrie, histoire quantitative) et les conséquences historiographiques de ces travaux.

Dans la deuxième partie de cette thèse, je traite des processus par lesquels certains collectifs engagés dans l’utilisation des ordinateurs se sont organisés à une échelle méta-collective, dans le but de faire circuler les produits de leurs recherches (éditions, bases de données, programmes informatiques, etc...) et des méthodes et des techniques qu’ils avaient pu développer au cours de leurs expériences respectives. L’analyse porte sur une initiative française, à portée européenne, qui démarre avec l’organisation d’un colloque à Rome en 1975 et se poursuit par la mise en œuvre d’une publication en 1979, intitulé Le Médiéviste et l’ordinateur. Ce bulletin de liaison devient, dès lors, l’un des vecteurs privilégiés de la circulation des méthodes et de la construction d’une culture scientifique commune.

La troisième et dernière partie est quant à elle consacrée aux modalités des échanges qui prennent forme dans les pages de ce bulletin de liaison. Deux directions sont explorées : 1) le genre d’article qui s’y développe en relation avec la nécessité de faire circuler de nouveaux types de connaissances techniques et 2) les difficultés qu’ont pu rencontrer les utilisateurs de ces méthodes dans le partage de ce type de savoir avec certains de leurs collègues, d’un point de vue technique, mais également épistémologique.},
