Mesure de déformation par combinaison de techniques géodésiques : Auscultation par GPS et topométrie

La Terre est une planete en constante evolution et sa surface ne cesse de se transformer. Ses deformations soulevent des questionnements. Depuis plusieurs annees, le L2G de l’ESGT s’interesse a l’etude des deformations par inter comparaison de techniques. Il dispose en cela de differents procedes de mesure. Puis au fil du temps, le laboratoire s’interroge sur l’interet de realiser une combinaison entre differentes techniques de mesure afin d’observer des deformations fines et precises (quelques millimetres). L’objectif de cette these est de demontrer l’interet de combiner des mesures GNSS et des mesures topometriques, celles-ci semblant etre les plus utilisees, et de les concretiser. Les resultats presentes sont bases sur des simulations et sur des campagnes de mesures combinees des techniques de GNSS et de topometrie effectuee sur un reseau test d’une etendue locale. Les calculs evoluent en fonction de la distance de la ligne de base et en modifiant les durees de sessions de mesures. Nous montrons qu’une combinaison par cumul des equations normales ameliore la precision du positionnement non seulement par rapport a l’utilisation de chaque technique separee, mais egalement par rapport aux methodes classiques basees sur la combinaison des coordonnees issues des techniques de GNSS et de topometrie.
Statistical Analysis of the Data Processing Model of Sensation Seeking and Adolescent Mobile Addiction – The Mediation of Parent-Child Communication Problems and Peer Fear and Inferiority

At present, teenagers play an important role in the use of smartphones, and their behavior problems have always been the focus of social attention. Studying the mechanism of teenagers’ smartphone addiction has practical signiﬁcance to reduce the use of problematic mobile phones. In this study, 312 junior and senior high school students were surveyed with the questionnaire method, and the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and correlation analysis using Spss 26.0 to understand the basic characteristics of the variables; Secondly, this study uses the difference test function of spss to explore the differences between gender in various variables; Thirdly, this study uses Mplus7 to conduct structural equation model analysis on the data, and uses the method of intermediary model test to investigate the impact of feeling seeking, parent-child communication problems and peer fear and inferiority on mobile phone addiction. The results show that: (1) Sensory seeking can positively predict teenagers’ mobile phone addiction; (2) Sensation-seeking can indirectly predict teenagers’ mobile phone addiction through parent-child communication problems; (3) Feel-seeking can not predict teenagers’ mobile phone addiction through peer fear and inferiority; (4) Peer fear and inferiority can positively predict teenagers’ mobile phone addiction; (5) Parent-child communication problems can positively predict peer fear and inferiority. To investigate the status and characteristics of teenagers’ mobile phone addiction, and explore the relationship between teenagers’ feeling seeking, parent-child communication problems, peer fear and inferiority complex, and smartphone addiction at the same time, which will help to ﬁnd out the potential inﬂuencing factors in time and help teenagers better prevent or reduce the generation of smartphone addiction to a certain extent.

Realistic simulation as a training strategy for the health team

: Objective: To assess realistic simulation as a training strategy for nursing technicians and ambulance drivers in the primary assessment of trauma cases. Method: A quasi-experimental study, before-and-after design, with a quantitative approach, conducted between December 2021 and March 2022. The study population consisted of 98 professionals from 14 municipalities within the Northern region of the State of Paraná, who are part of the Regulatory Complex of the Mobile Emergency Care Service. A knowledge test consisting of 10 questions was administered before and after the simulation. Data were analyzed in terms of central tendency and dispersion. Pre-test and post-test correct answers were compared as percentages. The mean and standard deviation of correct answers were assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test to determine whether the data followed a normal distribution. The Wilcoxon test was also employed to identify differences in mean correct answers between the research phases, with a significance level of 0.050. Results: Among the proposed questions, those related to trauma kinematics, stages of primary victim assessment, treatment planning, victim immobilization, assessment during care, and recognition of shock achieved a 90% correct response rate after the training. Questions about primary patient assessment and airway management also yielded significant results. Conclusion: The assimilation of knowledge through realistic simulation led to a significant improvement in correct answer rates for the questions
Deep learning system for brain image-aided diagnosis of multiple major mental disorders

The current clinical diagnosis of psychiatric disorders relies heavily on subjective assessment of symptoms. While neuroimaging has made an essential contribution to characterizing the brain of psychiatric disorders, it does not currently serve the clinical diagnosis of major psychiatric disorders. Here, we report a neuroimaging-aided diagnostic system for major psychiatric disorders designed for clinical needs. We developed novel deep learning networks with attentional mechanisms and applied them to a large-scale, single-center neuroimaging dataset containing four major psychiatric disorders and healthy groups (n=2490). Both cross-validation and extensive independent validation using multiple open-source datasets (n = 1972) showed that the system could accurately identify any one of the four diagnostic categories and healthy population from brain structural imaging. For the first time, we have constructed an automatic neuroimaging-aid diagnostic system that considers common issues in practice, such as co-morbid diagnoses and the discrimination between specific suspected diagnoses. Furthermore, real-world applications have validated the system's effectiveness. These works contribute to the translation of brain research to objective diagnostic aids for psychiatric disorders.
Edinburgh Research Explorer Relational learning re-examined

: Clark & Thornton argue that the recoding functions which are used to solve type-2 problems are, at least in part, the ontogenetic products of general-purpose mechanisms. This commentary disputes this and suggests that recoding functions are adaptive specializations. Clark & Thornton (C&T) have enhanced our understanding of the nature of problem spaces with their distinction between type-1 and type-2 problems. Type-1 problems are solved directly. Type-2 problems are solved indirectly via recoding functions which make manifest otherwise hidden regularities in input domains. Recoding reduces type-2 problems to type-1. This is a valuable insight and the statistical framework within which the distinction is formalized is both apt and informative. C&T suggest that type-2 problems are commonplace in a wide variety of domains but are regularly solved despite their computational intractability, which results from the infinity of potential recoding functions. A central question, therefore, concerns where the recoding functions used to solve type-2 problems come from, and it is here that C&T’s analysis is problematic. One possibility, which is currently at the heart of much promising work in evolutionary psychology (Barkow et al. 1992), is that recoding functions are task-specific, evolved adaptations. C&T are clearly unsympathetic to this idea, which they call “heavy-duty nativism” and they accept only that it “is no doubt sometimes plausible” (Abstract). The reasons for C&T’s hostility to the evolutionary solution are not made clear, but they appear to be uncomfortable with the idea of a large number of adaptively specialized type-2 problem solving devices. One of their goals is, therefore, to show how more general-purpose mechanisms and processes might be used in the solution of type-2 problems. Their preferred account of recoding functions builds them via a two-stage ontogenetic process which retains a central role for associative learning. C
ANTI-TNF BIOSIMILARS: HOW KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF INFLUENCE PRESCRIPTION

Background: Biological agents change the management of rheumatic inflammatory disease with improving care but increasing costs. Biosimilars for subcutaneous TNF inhibitors (SC TNFi) are available in France since 2015 and provide the same treatments at lower cost. French health agencies do not legally oblige rheumatologist to first prescribe or switch to biosimilars. Objectives: To assess the knowledge and beliefs of French rheumatologists about biosimilars. Methods: The assessment was developed with a questionnaire consisting of five parts: demographics data, professional practice, theoretical knowledge, beliefs and confidence. The questionnaire was administrated via the website Limesur-vey and sent by email to French rheumatologist. A descriptive analysis of the data and associated factors to initiation and switch of biosimilars have been done. Results: One hundred one rheumatologists have participated to the study. 47.1% was less than forty years old. 92% of them have the authorization to prescribe TNFi. 53.2 always prescribed a biosimilars when they prescribed a SC TNFi for the first time and 78.5% in 90% of cases. 30.6% of French rheumatologist never switched to a biosimilars. Those who switch, do it in more than 75% of cases. 96.5%, 87.1% and 91.8% respectively answered that biosimilars are as efficient, as safe and have the same immunogenicity profile compared to originator. The initial biosimilars prescription is associated with a better knowledge about bio-similars. For example, 77.4% of rheumatologist who prescribe in more than 90% of the case, answer NO to
Des transformations logiques passent leur certicat

Dans un contexte de verification formelle de programmes, utilisant des demonstrateurs automatiques, la base de confiance des environnements de verification est typiquement tres large. Ainsi, un outil de verification de programmes tel que Why3 comporte de nombreuses procedures complexes : generation de conditions de verification, transformations logiques de tâches de preuve et interactions avec des demonstrateurs externes. En ne considerant que les transformations logiques dans Why3, leur implantation comporte deja plus de 17000 lignes de code OCaml. Afin d'augmenter notre confiance dans la correction d'un tel outil de verification, nous proposons un mecanisme de transformations certifiantes, produisant des certificats pouvant etre valides par un outil externe, selon l'approche sceptique. Nous presentons ce mecanisme de generation de certificats et explorons deux methodes pour les valider : une fondee sur un verificateur dedie developpe en OCaml, l'autre reposant sur le verificateur de preuves universel Dedukti. Une specificite de nos certificats est d'etre « a petits grains » et composables, ce qui rend notre approche incrementale, permettant d'ajouter graduellement de nouvelles transformations certifiantes.
Virtualized eNB Latency Limits . Paper submitted in 2017 19th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks

In flexible functional split, functions of a virtualized evolved NodeB (eNB) can be disaggregated in distributed computational resources. One of the main constraints for their placement is the latency experienced by the communication between the Virtual Machines (VM) hosting the functions. This paper evaluates experimentally the latency limits for different functional splits providing insights on flexible functional split implementation.

On the unsteady characteristics of turbulent separations over a forward–backward-facing step

Turbulent separation bubbles over and behind a two-dimensional forward–backward-facing step submerged in a deep turbulent boundary layer are investigated using a time-resolved particle image velocimetry. The Reynolds number based on the step height and free-stream velocity is 12 300, and the ratio of the streamwise length to the height of the step is 2.36. The upstream turbulent boundary layer thickness is 4.8 times the step height to ensure a strong interaction of the upstream turbulence structures with the separated shear layers over and behind the step. The velocity measurements were performed in streamwise–vertical planes at the channel mid-span and streamwise–spanwise planes at various vertical distances from the wall. The unsteady characteristics of the separation bubbles and their associated turbulence structures are studied using a variety of techniques including linear stochastic estimation, proper orthogonal decomposition and variable-interval time averaging. The results indicate that the low-frequency flapping motion of the separation bubble over the step is induced by the oncoming large-scale alternating low- and high-velocity streaky structures. Dual separation bubbles appear periodically over the step at a higher frequency than the flapping motion, and are attributed to the inherent instability in the rear part of the mean separation bubble. The separation bubble behind the step exhibits a flapping motion at the same frequency as the separation bubble over the step, but with a distinct phase delay. At instances when an enlarged separation bubble is formed in front of the step, a pair of vertical counter-rotating vortices is formed in the immediate vicinity of the leading edge.
THE EFFECT OF LAYOUT CHANGE AT INTERSECTIONS ON TRAFFIC BEHAVIOR - BICYCLE CROSSINGS

The impact of technical measures on the traffic environment are not always studied. In this study three different markings of bicycle paths in an intersection area in unsignalled intersections were studied. The before and after observation study used video monitoring. In two of the four cases studied the coloured pavement resulted in more careless behaviour of cyclists approaching the intersection. Higher attentiveness of car drivers cannot be proved with this material.
The Profession of IT

L ocality of reference is one of the cornerstones of computer science. It was born from efforts to make virtual memory systems work well. Virtual memory was first developed in 1959 on the Atlas System at the University of Manchester. Its superior programming environment doubled or tripled programmer productivity. But it was finicky, its performance sensitive to the choice of replacement algorithm and to the ways compilers grouped code onto pages. Worse, when it was coupled with multiprogramming, it was prone to thrashing— the near-complete collapse of system throughput due to heavy paging. The locality principle guided us in designing robust replacement algorithms, compiler code generators, and thrashing-proof systems. It transformed virtual memory from an unpredictable to a robust, selfregulating technology that optimized throughput without user intervention. Virtual memory became such an engineering triumph that it faded into the background of every operating system, where it performs so well at managing memory with multithreading and multitasking that no one notices.

Burnout among healthcare workers at the first wave of the COVID-19: meta analysis

Öz Purpose: Increased workload and inadequate working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, threaten the lives and physical well-being of healthcare workers (HCWs), and also their mental health, such as burnout, etc. which is often neglected. The aim of this review is to analyze published studies on the proportion of burnout among HCWs during the first wave of the COVID-19. Materials and Methods: We conducted a systematic review of studies that reported burnout (measured by Maslach Burnout Inventory) among HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic and searched PubMed, PsycINFO, and WOS of relevant articles up to Feb 25th, 2021. Out of 145 non-duplicate studies, 10 were included in the meta-analysis. Results: The overall estimated pooled proportion for emotional exhaustion (EE) was
Connecting, Competing, and Trolling: “User Types” in Digital Gamified Radicalization Processes

The concept of gamification is increasingly applied as a framework to understand extremist online subcultures and communications. Although a number of studies have been conducted, the theoretical and empirical basis to understand the role of gamification in extremist contexts remains weak. This article seeks to contribute to the development of a gamification of radicalization theory by exploring how Marczewski’s HEXAD, a user typology for gamified applications, may facilitate our understanding of individual variations in engagement with gamified extremist content. Five user types, named after their core motivational drivers for engagement, are discussed: Socializers, Competitors, Achievers, Meaning Seekers, and Disruptors. This typology may support future studies by providing a preliminary understanding of how different game elements may appeal to different users and increase their engagement with and susceptibility to extremist content in cyberspace.
In-situ Vp/Vs ratio reveals fault-zone material variation at the westernmost Gofar transform fault, East Paciﬁc Rise

Ocean transform faults often generate characteristic earthquakes that repeatedly rupture the same fault patches. The west-ernmost Gofar transform fault quasi-periodically hosts ˜M6 earthquakes every ˜5 years, and microseismicity suggests that the fault is segmented into ﬁve distinct zones, including a rupture barrier zone that may have modulated the rupture of adjacent M6 earthquakes. However, the relationship between the systematic slip behavior of the Gofar fault and the fault material properties is still poorly known. Speciﬁcally, the role of pore ﬂuids in regulating the slip of the Gofar fault is unclear. Here, we develop a new method using diﬀerential arrival times between nearby earthquakes to estimate the in-situ Vp/Vs ratio of the fault-zone materials. We apply this technique to the dataset collected by an ocean-bottom-seismometer network deployed around the Gofar fault in 2008, which recorded abundant microearthquakes, and ﬁnd a moderate Vp/Vs ratio of 1.75–1.80 in the rupture barrier zone and a low Vp/Vs ratio of 1.61–1.69 in the down-dip edge of the 2008 M6 rupture zone. This lateral variation in Vp/Vs ratio may be caused by both pore ﬂuids and chemical alteration. We also ﬁnd a 5–10% increase in Vp/Vs ratio in the barrier zone during the nine months before the mainshock. This increase may have been caused by ﬂuid migrations or slip transients in the barrier zone.
Electrically small multiband antenna based on spoof localized surface plasmons

Here an electrically small multiband antenna based on spoof localized surface plasmons (LSPs) has been proposed using corrugated ring resonator printed on a thin dielectric substrate with complementary metallic spiral structure (MSS) on the ground plane. It has been found that the resonant frequencies of spoof LSPs redshift by tuning the arm length of the complementary MSS, which leads to the miniaturization of the antenna. The fabricated multiband antenna has a small size of only 0. 11λ × 0. 1λ, covering GSM900, GSM1800, and WiFi bands. Such electrically small multiband antenna with high gain is necessary for efficient wireless energy harvesting (WEH), which can find more applications in various areas including Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor network (WSN), etc.
A participatory marine resource and space-use information system for the Grenadine Islands : an ecosystem approach to collaborative planning for management of transboundary marine resources

A PARTICIPATORY MARINE RESOURCE AND SPACE-USE INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR THE GRENADINE ISLANDS:AN ECOSYSTEM APPROACH TO COLLABORATIVE PLANNING FOR MANAGEMENT OF TRANSBOUNDARY MARINERESOURCES Kimberly Elaine Baldwin The application of a comprehensive strategy using multiple sources of information to address complex socio-ecological problems is recognised as essential for an ecosystem approach to marine governance. With a heavy reliance on marine resources and increasing numbers of resource users in the transboundary Grenadine Islands, there is a clear need for ecosystem-based marine resource management and a framework to support informed decisionmaking. This dissertation details the ways in which stakeholders were engaged to develop a participatory geographical information system (PGIS) entitled the Grenadines Marine Resource and Space-use Information System (MarSIS). This included both the research approach (process) and the final geodatabase (product). Participatory processes were utilised to: (a) obtain and include the best available information from all possible sources; (b) increase interand intra-stakeholder understanding of interdisciplinary marine resource information; and (c) promote stakeholder ownership and use of the information produced. In order to
Lifelong learning participation of foreign-born adults in European countries

This paper demonstrates that foreign-born adults in Europe tend to participate less in adult lifelong learning activities compared to native-born adults living in the same country. However, this is mainly explained through the job-related nature of non-formal education. Foreign-born adults tend to participate more in formal adult education than native-born adults in a range of countries. Based on analyses using data from the OECD’s Programme on the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), this paper shows that participation rates in European countries are mainly determined by adults’ educational attainment and having a job and that countries with overall high participation rates have higher participation rates among foreign-born adults as well, which is known to correlate with existing welfare typologies – e.g. participation rates being higher in the Nordic social-democratic countries than in the Southern Mediterranean countries. Exploring the lifelong learning participation of foreign-born adults in European countries is important as it is known that those adults perceive difficulties in finding a job and having their foreign credentials recognised in the new country context. Participation in adult lifelong learning might help them in learning new or maintaining their already existing skills.
