Gérer la crise psychiatrique autrement : place et intérêt des équipes mobiles dédiées ; exemple d’une initiative bordelaise

Nous dressons tout d’abord un etat des lieux des equipes mobiles de crise a l’international et en France. Au Royaume-Uni, elles ont ete generalisees dans les annees 2000 et jouent un role central dans l’acces aux soins. En Belgique, elles sont en plein essor avec des initiatives locales sur l’ensemble du territoire. Aux Etats-Unis et en France, elles ne font pas l’objet d’une reglementation specifique. Les equipes francaises rapportent un manque d’harmonisation des pratiques, de formation, de moyens et de communication aupres du grand public et des partenaires. Dans une seconde partie, nous avons etudie leur efficacite. Elles diminuent le nombre d’admissions en hopital psychiatrique, reduisent la duree des sejours, engendrent une plus forte satisfaction des usagers que les soins hospitaliers et sont moins couteuses. En France, les elements recueillis suggerent aussi une reduction du taux d’admission et une satisfaction des usagers plus elevee. Il parait necessaire d’approfondir l’evaluation des equipes francaises. Enfin, nous exposons les resultats d’une etude observationnelle portant sur une equipe de crise bordelaise, EPIC, creee en 2016. L’objectif principal etait d’analyser la reponse d’EPIC aux demandes de prise en charge. Nous souhaitions aussi evaluer les caracteristiques de la population prise en charge, son delai d’acces aux soins, le taux de recours a l’hospitalisation et le devenir des patients pris en charge. Il ressort de ce travail qu’EPIC apporte trois types de reponse : information et conseil aux usagers, evaluation et orientation, et prise en charge de la crise. La population presente des caracteristiques similaires a celle des patients hospitalises. Le delai d’acces aux soins etait significativement superieur lorsque l’indication de prise en charge EPIC etait retenue, et le taux d’hospitalisation etait de 33,33%. Les patients etaient majoritairement orientes vers un CMP (41,67%) ou hospitalises sans consentement (20,83%).
General Equilibrium Effects of Recruiting High-Performing Teachers for School Turnaround: Evidence From Tennessee

Many districts and states have begun implementing incentives to attract high-performing teachers to low-performing schools. Previous research has found that these incentives are effective. However, effects on the schools and students these teachers leave behind has not been examined. This study focuses on the general equilibrium effects of recruiting effective teachers to Tennessee’s Innovation Zone (iZone) schools, one of the most successful turnaround initiatives in the nation (Zimmer, Henry, & Kho, 2017). While there is some variation in the effects of losing these teachers, we find they range between -0.04 and -0.12 standard deviations in student test score gains. However, an estimate including both these negative effects and the positive effects in iZone schools yields overall net positive effects.
Stability Rates of Same-Sex Couples: With and Without Children

Abstract In contrast to earlier studies, several recent ones have claimed that stability rates among same-sex couples are similar to those of different-sex couples. This article reexamines these latest accounts and provides new evidence regarding stability rates using three large, nationally representative datasets from the United States and Canada. Confirming the earliest work, we find that same-sex couples are more likely to break up than different-sex couples. We find that the gap in stability is larger for couples with children, the very group for which concerns about stability are the most important.
Recent Inflationary Trends in World Commodities Markets

Expansionary monetary policies in key industrial countries and sharply depreciating U.S. dollar exchange rate sent commodities prices soaring at unprecedented rates during 2003-2007. Food prices rose to alarming levels threatening malnutrition and food riots. In contrast, consumer price indices, a leading indicator for monetary policy, were showing almost no inflation and posed a price puzzle insofar their evolution was not responsive to record low interest rates, double digit commodities inflation, and sharp exchange rate depreciation. Commodities prices were shown to be driven by one common trend, identified as a monetary shock. Policy makers may have to face a policy dilemma: maintain monetary policy stance with accelerating commodities price inflation, subsequent world recession, and financial disorder; or tighten monetary policy with subsequent world recession followed by recovery and financial and price stability.
Evaluating and improving the Usability of MIT App Inventor

MIT App Inventor is a blocks-based programming language for Android apps designed to teach programming skills to middle school and high school students. We aim to make app development accessible for all. Anyone learning to program must learn computational thinking methods; App Inventor users must also learn how to use the service. Our target users, teenagers and people without programming experience, often conflate the two learning processes: they think App Inventor is hard because learning to program is hard. As such, App Inventor needs a user interface that matches the conventions of commercially-available software our users already know how to use. Such an interface will allow them to focus on learning how to program and to transfer their knowledge and skills to other programming languages and environments. I designed several tasks and conducted a usability study on the existing, publicly-available App Inventor service. Users encountered 75 unique issues and a total of 157 issues. This is an average of 5 unique issues and 10.5 total issues per user. I made changes to the App Inventor source code that addressed 34 of the most common issues encountered. My intent was to make App Inventor both more usable to novice programmers and more similar to the programming environments that experienced programmers use. Finally, I conducted a usability study with the same tasks on the modified version of App Inventor. Users encountered 65 unique issues, including 19 issues encountered in the first study, and 107 total issues. Based on user comments and behavior, I conclude that my solutions resolved 21 of the original issues, partially mitigated 9 issues, and did not improved the usability of 4 issues.
Stability analysis of a novel PMBLDC motor drive for electric scooter application

A state of art design and stability analysis of high power density and high efficiency Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (PMBLDC) Motor drive suitable for light electric vehicle application is presented in this paper. The motor used is poly-phase, multi-pole, rectangular wave Permanent Magnet motor with outer rotor configuration. The spokes of the wheel is directly fitted in to the outer rotor of this proposed motor. In comparison to the conventional PMBLDC motor this motor has special features namely, reduction in volume and weight, saving in copper and elimination of cogging torque. The motor operates at high starting torque and high cruising speed. Hence the proposed PMBLDC drive will have high power density, high efficiency and fast dynamic performance which will be best suited for gearless electric vehicle application. The design and stability analysis are carried out on 3-phase, 8pole PMBLDC motor drive. Simulation results are obtained with Matlab. The objective of the light electric vehicle is to provide high efficiency controllability and safety with wide speed range. The simulation results show that the developed PMBLDC motor model with modular approach and enhanced efficiency is best suited for light electric vehicles.
International Financial Integration and Funding Risks: Bank-Level Evidence from Latin America

Using a sample of over 700 banks in Latin America, we show that international financial liberalization lowers bank capital ratios and increases the shares of short-term funding. Following liberalization, large banks substitute interbank borrowing for equity and long-term funding, whereas small banks increase the proportions of retail funding in their liabilities, which have been particularly vulnerable to flight-to-quality during periods of financial distress in much of Latin America. We also find evidence that riskier bank funding in the aftermath of financial liberalizations is exacerbated by asymmetric information, which rises on geographical distance and the opacity of balance sheets.
SIW-Based Linearly Polarized S-Band Antenna for SDR

Abstract In this paper, the SIW(Substrate Integrated Waveguide)-based feeding antenna for the application of SDR(Software Defined Radar) is designed and manufactured. It is usually well-known that SIWs are easily integrated on PCB and have low transmission loss toward high powered input signal. Also, it is recommended that SIWs are strongly immunized to Electromagnetic Interferences(EMI). In parti-cular, the manufactured antennas are loaded on the USRP(Universal Software Radio Peripheral) platform and employed to detect target RCS as an experiment in this paper. The operating frequency of the proposed antenna is in ISM(Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band(2.4Y2.48 GHz) and the measured gain is over 8 dBi at 2.44 GHz.

"I can see you": The impact of implied social presence on visual attention to erotic and neutral stimuli in men and women

Abstract:The watchful eye of others often leads people to alter their behaviour. Eye tracking methodology has been used to create implied social presence, as well as to examine gaze patterns to erotic stimuli, but the effects of implied social presence on visual attention to erotic and neutral stimuli remains largely unknown. In the present study, we examined precisely this issue. We compared looking behaviour of men and women who were either aware that their gaze patterns were being monitored (implied social presence) and those who lacked this knowledge (no implied presence). Women in the aware condition made significantly fewer fixations than men, whereas no such gender differences were found in the unaware condition. Across both conditions, men made significantly more fixations to the erotic stimuli compared to the neutral stimuli and the background. For women, no significant differences were found in the number of fixations to the erotic stimuli and the background, although women look at these areas more than the neutral stimuli. These results demonstrate that eye tracking creates an implied social presence, and this differentially affects the looking behaviour of women versus men. Moreover, gendered sexual norms coupled with the need to manage self-presentation may influence women's sexual urges and expressions. The inhibition of sexuality displayed by women indicates that sexual double standards still exist in society and need to be addressed. As well, theoretical, methodological, and clinical implications of eye tracking methodology should be taken into consideration in future research.
The Perspectives of Amateur Soccer Players and their Coaches on the Use of Performance Enhancing Substances

Adolescent and youth sports seem to have progressively developed in South Africa to the point where young athletes are considering doping and the use of performance-enhancing substances (PES). This study determined the perspectives of U-19 soccer players and their coaches in the eThekwini region, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, on the use of supplements and drugs. Male participants (n = 449) playing first team soccer from development clubs in the eThekwini region, and their respective coaches (n = 30), volunteered to participate in this study. A questionnaire was administered to players and coaches were interviewed. Soccer players and their coaches believed that consuming prohibited substances in sport was unethical. The majority of the players (73.9% either agreed or strongly agreed) and coaches believed that doping in soccer is on the increase. About a quarter of the players consumed nutritional supplements and smoked cannabis. Anti-doping educational programmes and behaviour change interventions are vital in order to educate and transform athletes’ and coaches’ perspectives on doping and PES, and their resultant behaviour.
Design and servo control for precision opto-electronic tracking turntable

A four-axis precision stabilized tracking turntable was designed for simulating motions of TV missile seeker and airborne opto-electronic tracking system. The main technical requirements of turntable were proposed. The main techniques of mechanical resonance, structural modeling and components selection for the turntable system were introduced and analyzed particularly. A new compound closed-loop control structure based on Digital Signal Processor (DSP), digital filter and its realization is put forward in detail. Experimental results achieve the technical indices and precision requirement, and indicate the practicability and effectiveness of the proposed design scheme. The turntable can simulate dynamic characteristic of guided missile seeker and airborne opto-electronic tracker in laboratory, and provide important testing data and theoretical reference for development and application of actual system.

The Economic Consequences of Hiv/Aids in Southern Africa

The paper provides an analysis of the impact of HIV/AIDS on the health sector, public education, the supply of labor and the returns to training in nine Southern African countries. Drawing on the preceding sections, it assesses the impact of HIV/AIDS on per capita income in a neoclassical growth framework. HIV/AIDS affects per capita income mainly through its impact of human capital, as measured by the supply of experienced workers. Other factors include the impact on capital accumulation, on education, and on total factor productivity.
Positionnement sur le Web Sémantique des Objets

L’Internet des Objets (IoT en anglais) est un domaine riche en enjeux scientifiques, technologiques et societaux. Afin de faire face aux problematiques d’interoperabilite faisant obstacle au developpement de l’IoT, les principes et les technologies du Web Semantique sont integrees aux reseaux d’objets connectes. Cette integration est designee sous le nom de Web Semantique des Objets (SWoT en anglais). L’emergence de ce domaine repose sur l’adaptation des technologies du Web Semantique aux contraintes de l’IoT. Ce papier de positionnement vise a decrire les vocabulaires principaux utilises dans le SWoT, ainsi que l’architecture dans lequel la pile technologique du Web Semantique se deploie, afin d’ensuite identifier les problematiques emergentes dans le domaine du SWoT. Ces problematiques sont des domaines d’interets potentiels pour les futurs travaux de la communaute Ingenierie des Connaissances (IC).
TiCTak: Target-Specific Centrality Manipulation on Large Networks

Measuring node centrality is a critical common denominator behind many important graph mining tasks. While the existing literature offers a wealth of different node centrality measures, it remains a daunting task on how to intervene the node centrality in a desired way. In this thesis, I study the problem of minimizing the centrality of one or more target nodes by edge operation. The heart of the proposed method is an accurate and efficient algorithm to estimate the impact of edge deletion on the spectrum of the underlying network, based on the observation that the edge deletion is essentially a local, sparse perturbation to the original network. Extensive experiments are conducted on a diverse set of real networks to demonstrate the effectiveness, efficiency and scalability of our approach. In particular, it is average of 260.95%, in terms of minimizing eigen-centrality, better than the standard matrix-perturbation based algorithm, with lower time complexity.
Testing the parent-child communication program: Its effectiveness on developing children’s social competences

Social competence has a central role in the development of early childhood. One of the central roles of children's social competence is its influence on children's academic social abilities, such as the ability to (1) receive learning information, (2) follow the school’s rules, and (3) face increasingly complex academic challenges along with increasing school levels. This study aims to test the model of parent-child communication (PCC) in developing children’s social competence. The exclusive communication model was tested to 250 children aged 4-6 years in West Java Province, which is divided into five research zones, West Java Zone 1 to 5. This study used an experimental design pre-test and post-test to determine the effectiveness of the parent-child communication program that was tested through observation and interview techniques consisting of 68 items of social competence. The results show that the PCC Program can effectively be applied by the collaboration of parents between fathers and mothers to optimize children's social competencies. The PCC program, which was not attended by both parents, would not be effective, for example, as happened in the West Java Zone 1, indicating the ineffectiveness of the PCC program because of the characteristics of parental activities that both work and do not have time to communicate with children. While in the other four West Java Zones PCC can be effective, because working parents want to take the time to interact and communicate actively with their children.
SELECTED ANTECEDENTS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION CLAIMS FOR FOOD PROCESSORS AND DISTRIBUTORS

The purpose of this paper is to examine the importance attached to nutrition claims placed on food packaging from the perspective of Polish food processors and distributors. A total of 78 completed questionnaires were obtained with the use of the CAWI methodology. The author used correlations, t-statistics, ANOVAs, and simple and multiple regression analyses. In simple regressions, 6 independent variables turned out to influence the declared importance of nutrition claims in a statistically significant way: 1) perceived credibility of nutrition claims; 2) agreeing that the availability of health-related information is not sufficient for the vast majority of Polish consumers to change their preferences for the choice of foods; 3) strong belief that food products carry too many nutrition claims; 4) self-reported knowledge about the healthiness of one’s diet; 5) respondent age; and 6) seniority of the respondent in the companies surveyed. In a multiple regression model, only variables 1, 2, and 3 remained statistically significant at p < 0.05. An increase in the perceived credibility and stronger agreement with the above statement increase the importance attached to nutrition claims, whereas believing that foods carry an excessive number of nutrition claims reduces it.
Multimedia Caching Strategy Based on Popularity in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network

In this paper, we propose the caching technique to minimize the streaming for multimedia item and the service latency. As mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) has no fixed communication infrastructure, the route maintenance and the transmission management are important issues. Caching technique is used to improve the performance of data access. In the proposed caching scheme, mobile node stores the multimedia item passing through itself and the popular items delivered by the routing nodes located in 1 hop away from itself. We adopt caching policy based on LRU and the popularity and the block distance of multimedia items. In evaluation, we examined our proposed scheme in the view of the caching probability and the cache hit ratio as the function of the network size and the node density under the random waypoint mobility model. From simulation results, we confirm that the proposed scheme offers better performance substantially.
Investigating the role of Minecraft in educational learning environments

Abstract This research paper identifies the way in which Minecraft Edu can be used to contribute to the teaching and learning of secondary students via a multiple case research study. Minecraft Edu is recognised as a gamification tool that enables its users to create and evaluate project-based learning activities within a classroom context. Learning through edugames was found to enhance learning as well as allow students to attain overall learning outcomes. This permitted an enhancement of engagement, collaboration, the creation of authentic learning activities as well as the attainment of learning outcomes. The role of the teacher was also found to play a considerable role in students attaining these twenty-first-century teaching and learning capabilities.
Modular assembly of soft deployable structures and robots

Modular assembly is a widely-used strategy for fabricating diverse structures and robots, and more recently also for producing complex soft structures and machines. This work introduces a modular assembly method for soft deployable structures composed of identical soft deployable modules using embedded magnetic elements for the rapid assembly and disassembly of structures. The developed modules are fabricated from smart soft composites, consist of two soft hinge actuators, and can transform from a compact configuration into a deployed quadrate configuration through the actuation of both soft hinge actuators. The modules are assembled together using 3D printed parts and embedded compact magnets that allow them to be easily assembled and disassembled to form complex soft deployable structures. Hence, by assembling together identical soft deployable modules in different manners, different types of soft deployable structures were easily built and tested by re-utilizing the modules. This work also introduces the first soft robot, called DeployBot, capable of both deploying itself and of movement without additional motors. This robot starts in a folded and compact configuration and deploys autonomously into a functional machine being able to perform a walking motion with different gaits. The proposed approach highlights a robust strategy for the rapid and simple prototyping of various complex soft deployable structures and machines.
