Gestion des catastrophes naturelles en sol québécois : rendre socialement et écologiquement responsables les processus de développement des territoires affligés

Dans le contexte où les changements environnementaux induisent une augmentation des aléas météorologiques, les défis d’adaptation et de sécurité civile se multiplient. Cet article a été rédigé dans le cadre d’une thèse portant sur la réponse standardisée des acteurs lors de catastrophes d’origine naturelle. Nous nous intéressons à la gestion québécoise des catastrophes dites naturelles. D’abord, nous aborderons la question des limites juridiques de l’État québécois. Puis, nous nous pencherons sur la littérature portant sur le développement territorial. Cela nous permettra d’identifier la place occupée par la question de la prévention en matière de catastrophes naturelles. Enfin, nous présenterons un état de situation sur la question des zones inondables au Québec, ce qui nous permettra d’indiquer en quoi des mesures d’atténuation de la présence humaine habitée ont été pensées, mais peu prises en compte. Nous concluons en indiquant que le Québec ne peut se contenter d’innovations technologiques structurantes pour assurer un aménagement territorial qui soit socialement et écologiquement responsable face aux catastrophes naturelles.
The Role of Reading Strategies in the Screen Inferiority Effect

We explored whether self-explanation strategies influence the “screen inferiority effect. ” Participants read a text on paper or a computer monitor and received instructions to self-explain or to read for comprehension. On a subsequent comprehension test, we observed a screen inferiority effect, but only in the self-explanation condition. Analyses of processing times, metacognitive judgments, and constructed responses are presented to help explain these results.
Much to Do About Trauma: A Systematic Review of Existing Trauma-Informed Treatments on Youth Violence and Recidivism

Research has demonstrated a relationship between childhood trauma, violence, and justice involvement. As juvenile justice systems have become more attune to the needs of traumatized youth, a number of trauma-informed treatment programs have been developed to mitigate the effects of trauma. Evaluations of trauma-informed treatment demonstrate their effectiveness in reducing trauma-related symptoms. Further, prior research has found that trauma-informed treatment can reduce behavioral infractions and institutional violence. While there is indirect evidence that trauma-informed treatment reduces juvenile violence and recidivism, no research to date has assessed trauma-informed treatment on behavioral outcomes outside of residential facilities. This systematic review provides an overview of the use trauma-informed treatment in juvenile justice settings and provides recommendations for practice and future research.
Classification of Open Unemployment Rate in Indonesia with Mamdani Fuzzy Inference System

Unemployment is a very common problem in developing countries such as Indonesia. One of the government’s efforts to overcome the problem is having skill training. However, the labor often faced difficulties in classifying unemployment in Indonesia. Therefore, the utilization of fuzzy logic is considered as an appropriate way to examine the state’s open unemployment rate by Mamdani method implementation. The input used in this case is the number of unemployment and labor force whereas the output of this system is the classification of open unemployment rate. Then the model output is compared to the classified data of the labor service and the result indicates that a matching percentage of 70,6 percent. It shows that the fuzzy model is able to determine the open unemployment rate in Indonesia.
A Variance Model in NRTK-Based Geodetic Positioning as a Function of Baseline Length

This study examines the effect of baseline length on accuracy and precision in Network Real-Time Kinematic (NRTK) positioning and develops an experimental mathematical model to express this effect. The study also measures the performances of the Flaechen Korrektur Parameter (FKP) and Virtual Reference Stations (VRS) methods at different baseline lengths. The study makes use of the stations that form two Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) networks, one of which is local and the other national. Calculations were made to perform various geodetic operations, such as datum transformations between the two networks, identifications of positional velocities, and epoch shifting. BERNESE (v5.2) software was used to identify coordinate values assumed to be true based on International GNSS Service (IGS) products. No significant changes were observed in the RMSE values in baseline lengths of up to 40 km. In contrast, an average linear correlation of 69.2% was determined between precision and baseline length. Measurements were evaluated and tested using the variance model created as a function of the baseline length, in line with the aims of the study, and the results were found to be consistent. Moreover, in an examination of the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and precision values of the FKP and VRS measurements, no significant differences were observed. The mean differences were at the millimetre level.
Why the Son-bias in Caregiving? Testing Sex-differences in the Associations Between Paternal Caregiving and Child Outcomes in England

Studies show that fathers across Western populations tend to provide more care to sons than daughters. Following a human behavioral ecological framework, we hypothesize that son-biases in fathering may (at least in part) be due to differences in fitness returns to paternal direct investments by child’s sex. In this study, we investigate sex-differences in the associations between paternal caregiving and children’s outcomes in stable, two-parent families. Using data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, we test whether paternal caregiving in early childhood is associated with different effects on children’s school test scores and behavioral difficulties by children’s sex. Overall, we find that paternal caregiving is associated with higher school test scores and lower behavioral difficulty scores, but the association between paternal caregiving and school test scores was stronger for boys. Our findings highlight possible sex-differences in returns to paternal caregiving for certain domains of child outcomes in England.
Formative Assessment for Learning How to Learn: Exploring University Student Learning Experiences

The push for better English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy continues in Asia. In Japan, particularly, developing self-regulated learning (SRL) skills is a major objective in the new national curriculum for primary and secondary schools. Research in education suggests the practice of formative assessment (FA) in the classroom fosters SRL skills. The importance of FA in EFL is discussed here, along with an investigation of the relationship between FA and SRL skills of Japanese university students. An examination of 118 participants measured secondary school experiences of FA practices and its connection to the development of participants’ SRL skills. Quantitative results showed that participants experienced FA practices in secondary schools, however, qualitative data showed these experiences did not sufficiently lead to the development of SRL skills to the extent of participants’ out-of-class study time. In conclusion, we recommend EFL teachers to implement more FA practices and explicit instruction of SRL skills to meet curriculum objectives of fostering the lifelong language learner.

Preparation and characterization of activated carbons from bamboo for adsorption studies on the removal of surfactants

Activated carbon is an adsorbent material which is widely used in pollutant removal and water purification processes. The main characteristics of activated carbon are its high surface area and high adsorption capacity with certain adsorbates. Various materials are reported can be used for the preparation of activated carbon, but the use of bamboo is rarely reported. In this study, four activated carbons were produced using bamboo cane. Three of the mentioned samples were activated chemically by using zinc chloride and concentrated hydrochloric acid as the activating agent. These samples were activated at 700 Â°C in nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water steam flow respectively. The fourth sample was physically activated in nitrogen flow at 700 Â°C. The prepared activated carbons were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetry Analysis (TGA), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. The moisture, carbon and ash content of the activated carbons were determined. The results showed that the activated carbon which was activated with zinc chloride in nitrogen flow is the best activated carbon. It has the highest surface area (1258.99 m2 g-1), the highest thermal stability and the highest adsorption capacity in the adsorption of non-ionic surfactant (Triton-X 100) and cationic surfactant (cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide). Its adsorption capacity is higher for non-ionic surfactant compared to the cationic surfactant. All chemically-activated carbons exhibit ability to adsorb both surfactants but none of them had higher adsorption capacity than the commercial activated carbon. The activated carbon prepared from bamboo exhibits good surface characteristics and porosity properties. This indicates that bamboo has the potential to be a promising precursor for the production of activated carbon.

Advances in Materials Design for All-Solid-state Batteries: From Bulk to Thin Films

All-solid-state batteries (SSBs) are one of the most fascinating next-generation energy storage systems that can provide improved energy density and safety for a wide range of applications from portable electronics to electric vehicles. The development of SSBs was accelerated by the discovery of new materials and the design of nanostructures. In particular, advances in the growth of thin-film battery materials facilitated the development of all solid-state thin-film batteries (SSTFBs)—expanding their applications to microelectronics such as flexible devices and implantable medical devices. However, critical challenges still remain, such as low ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes, interfacial instability and difficulty in controlling thin-film growth. In this review, we discuss the evolution of electrode and electrolyte materials for lithium-based batteries and their adoption in SSBs and SSTFBs. We highlight novel design strategies of bulk and thin-film materials to solve the issues in lithium-based batteries. We also focus on the important advances in thin-film electrodes, electrolytes and interfacial layers with the aim of providing insight into the future design of batteries. Furthermore, various thin-film fabrication techniques are also covered in this review.

Diferencias de género en matemáticas y lengua: rendimiento académico, autoconcepto y expectativas

Previous studies show gender differences in math and language performance, mainly in adolescents. In this study, we aim to evaluate gender differences in self-concept, subjective value, expectations and academic performance, to analyze the relationships between the variables, and to understand their role in explaining performance in language and mathematics. A total of 406 4th and 5th grade students from Colombia participated in this study. The results show that girls have higher performance expectations in mathematics and language, as well as higher performance in language than boys. No gender differences were found in selfDiferencias de género en matemáticas y lengua: rendimiento académico, autoconcepto y expectativas Carolina Cárcamoab*, Amparo Morenoa y Cristina del Barrioa a Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Madrid, España b Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar, Cartagena, Colombia Recibido el 20 de febrero de 2020; aceptado el 22 de abril de 2020 PALABRAS CLAVE Estereotipos, diferencias de género, autoconcepto académico, escuela primaria * Autor para correspondencia.

YOLO Vehicle Detector Based on BN Scaling Factor Pruning

: Deep learning makes object detection easy, but the network structure is complex and there is a lot of redundancy, which results in a very slow operation. This paper proposes a pruning method based on the BN scaling factor to prune the redundant structure of the network and apply it to vehicle detection tasks. First, train the network for channel sparsity to make it easier to screen out important channels. While training network weights, the L1-norm is applied to the scale factor and bias of BN. Structures with smaller BN layer parameter values are penalized. Secondly, the network is automatically pruned to obtain the minimum structure. The BN scaling factors in the network structure are sorted, and the structures with smaller scaling factors are pruned according to the proportion. Then, the bias of the pruned structure is transferred to subsequent layers to maintain accuracy. In this paper, the pruning strategy considers all convolutional layers, so a high pruning rate is obtained, and the model after pruning can still maintain high accuracy without any training. For vehicle data, after training and testing, the accuracy of the model after pruning only decreased from 50.4Map to 47.27Map, but the network structure reached 76% compression. GFLOPS decreased from 33.12 to 8.16, and the number of million parameters decreased from 61.95 to 6.95.
Transepithelial glucose transport in the small intestine

The duodenum, jejunum and ileum are parts of the small intestine and the sites of the terminal stages of enzymatic digestion, and the majority of nutrient, electrolyte and water absorption. The apical, luminal membrane of the enterocyte is built of numerous microvilli that increase the absorptive surface of the cell. Carbohydrates, in the form of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and especially polysaccharides, make up the largest quantitative and energetic part of the diet of most animals, including humans. Galactose, fructose and glucose, the final degradation products of polysaccharide and oligosaccharide enzymatic digestion, can be absorbed by enterocytes either by active transport or by facilitated diffusion. In the small intestine, the transepithelial transport of glucose, the most abundant monosaccharide after carbohydrate digestion and the main source of energy, is performed by a specific membrane transporter located in the brush border membrane of the enterocyte, the sodiumglucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1). While SGLT1 transports glucose across the brush border membrane, a specific basolateral membrane glucose transporter, the sodium-independent glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2), transfers glucose out of the enterocyte down the concentration gradient. The sodium-potassium pump (Na/KATPase), as a sodium and potassium ion transporter, is functionally closely related to the sodium-dependent SGLT1. Na/KATPase is responsible for maintaining the electrochemical gradient of sodium ions, as the driving force for glucose transport via SGLT1. Transepithelial transport of glucose in the small intestine and the differentiation of enterocytes occurs relatively early during the foetal period, allowing glucose to be absorbed from ingested amniotic fluid. Nutrient transport is possible along the whole villus-crypt axis during intrauterine development, while transport shifts toward the villus tip in the mature small intestine. With maturation, glucose transport rates change not only across the villus-crypt axis, but also along the proximodistal axis in the small intestine. The glucose absorption rate shows differences between subunits of the small intestine depending on the age and type of ingested carbohydrates, where complex carbohydrates replace less complex carbohydrates or disaccharides.

Modelisation thermodynamique et cinetique de l'hydratation du ciment portland

Pour predire le comportement chimique a long terme d'un ciment portland, des simulateurs numeriques bases sur une approche mathematique de l'hydratation, ont ete developpes puis valides par rapport a des resultats d'experiences menees parallelement. L'approche experimentale a consiste a etudier dans un premier temps des cas simples (hydratation d'une seule phase), puis des cas plus complexes (deux phases en presence d'alcalins), jusqu'a parvenir a des cas reels sur pates (clinker de ciment). Cette demarche a permis de caracteriser la composition des differentes phases du systeme pour des echeances allant de un jour a un an et, d'identifier pas a pas les mecanismes chimiques pendant l'hydratation. Les simulateurs de l'hydratation ont ete developpes a l'aide des progiciels d'aide a la simulation allan#t#m et neptunix, en se basant sur une approche thermodynamique et cinetique. Pour la modelisation chimique, le systeme, considere comme un melange homogene, sans geometrie definie, est decompose par phases (solides, gaz et liquides). Les parametres de simulation sont ajustes sur les trois premieres echeances (un jour, une semaine et un mois) puis la modelisation est poursuivie jusqu'a un an et comparee avec les resultats des experiences menees sur cette duree. L'approche utilisee, en considerant notamment un gel c-s-h de composition constante, fournit de bons resultats. Elle fait cependant apparaitre l'importance des incertitudes sur la determination de la composition chimique du systeme
Anisotropic Tomography Beneath Northeast Tibet: Evidence for Regional Crustal Flow

We present high‐resolution tomographic images of isotropic P wave velocity and azimuthal anisotropy in the crust and uppermost mantle beneath NE Tibet by jointly inverting 62,339 arrival times of the first P and later PmP waves from 6,602 local earthquakes and 9 seismic explosions. Widespread low‐velocity zones in the middle crust contribute most of seismic anisotropy in the crust beneath NE Tibet. The predominant fast‐velocity directions of azimuthal anisotropy are closely correlated with the stress field revealed by GPS observations and focal mechanism solutions in the transition zones among the Alxa block, the Ordos basin, and the Tibetan Plateau. We attribute this feature to regional crustal flow that has intruded northeastward into NE Tibet and possibly affected vertical ground motions, whereas the flow has been resisted by the surrounding rigid blocks and so failed to further extrude eastward between the Ordos basin and the Sichuan basin. The crustal flow is responsible for the intracrust and crust‐mantle decoupling beneath the transition zones of NE Tibet. High‐velocity zones with depth‐consistent anisotropy are found to border the southwestern Ordos basin between 105° and 106°E. The rigid blocks, major active faults (e.g., the Haiyuan, Qinling, and Kunlun faults), and their interactions cause the regional tectonic features and seismic activities. Accommodation of the different deformation patterns and the tectonic interactions may explain the complicated geodynamic evolution of the crust beneath NE Tibet.
Simulations Numériques Directes d’une méso-chambre de combustion : Mise en oeuvre et analyses

La meso-combustion est le regime de combustion ou la taille caracteristique du domaine est juste superieure a la distance de coincement de la flamme , typiquement de l'ordre du centimetre. La difficile realisation de systemes de combustion fonctionnant en ce regime de flamme particulier suscite l'interet : il devient alors possible de tirer parti de la haute densite energetique des hydrocarbures pour concevoir des systemes de production d'energie plus compacts. Nous nous interessons a la realisation de calculs DNS compressibles d'une chambre de combustion cubique de 8 x 10 x 8 mm3. Ce travail presente autant la mise en œuvre des calcules, en particulier la problematique de la condition frontiere mur, que les resultats obtenus. Ces derniers nous permettent d'analyser la phenomenologie complexe de cet ecoulement reactif confine et serviront de base a des modelisations futures.
