A new classification of satellite derived liquid water cloud regimes at cloud scale
Authors: Unglaub Claudia , Block Karoline , Mülmenstädt Johannes , Sourdeval Odran , Quaas Johannes
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Clouds are highly variable in time and space affecting climate sensitivity and climate change. To study and distinguish the different influences of clouds on the climate system it is useful to separate clouds into individual cloud regimes. In this work we present a new cloud classification for liquid water clouds at cloud scale defined using cloud parameters retrieved from combined satellite measurements from CloudSat and CALIPSO. The idea is that cloud heterogeneity is a measure that allows to distinguish cumuliform and stratiform clouds, and cloud base height a measure to distinguish cloud altitude. The approach makes use of a newly-developed cloud-base height retrieval. Using three cloud base height intervals and two intervals of cloud top variability as an inhomogeneity parameter provides six new liquid cloud classes. The results show a smooth transition between marine and continental clouds as well as between stratiform and cumuliform clouds in different latitudes at the high spatial resolution of about 20 km. Analyzing the micro- and macrophysical cloud parameters from collocated combined MODIS, CloudSat and CALIPSO retrievals shows distinct characteristics for each cloud regimes that are in agreement with expectation and literature. This demonstrates the usefulness of the classification.
Estimating solar irradiance using sky imagers
Authors: Dev Soumyabrata , Savoy Florian M. , Lee Yee Hui , Winkler Stefan
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Ground-based whole-sky cameras are now extensively used for the localized monitoring of clouds. They capture hemispherical images of the sky at regular intervals using a fish-eye lens. In this paper, we propose a framework for estimating solar irradiance from pictures taken by those imagers. Unlike pyranometers, such sky images contain information about cloud coverage and can be used to derive cloud movement. An accurate estimation of solar irradiance using solely those images is thus a first step towards the short-term forecasting of solar energy generation based on cloud movement. We derive and validate our model using pyranometers colocated with our whole-sky imagers. We achieve a better performance in estimating solar irradiance and in particular its short-term variations compared to other related methods using ground-based observations.
Strong southward and northward currents observed in the inner plasma sheet
Authors: Yang Yan-Yan , Shen Chao , Ji Yong
Published: October 2019

Abstract. It is generally believed that field-aligned currents
(FACs) and the ring current (RC) are two dominant parts of the inner
magnetosphere. However, using the Cluster spacecraft crossing the
pre-midnight inner plasma sheet in the latitudinal region between 10 and 30∘ N, it is found that, during intense geomagnetic storms,
in addition to FACs and the RC, strong southward and
northward currents also exist which should not be FACs because the magnetic field in
these regions is mainly along the x–y plane. Detailed investigation shows that
both magnetic-field lines (MFLs) and currents in these regions are highly dynamic.
When the curvature of MFLs changes direction in the x–y plane, the current also
alternatively switches between being southward and northward. To investigate the
generation mechanism of the southward and northward current, we employed the
analysis of energetic particle flux up to 1 MeV. For energetic particles below
40 keV, observations from Cluster CIS/CODIF (Cluster Ion Spectrometry COmposition and DIstribution Function analyzer) are used. However, for higher-energy particles, the flux is
obtained by extrapolations of low-energy particle data through Kappa
distribution. The result indicates that the most reasonable cause of these southward and northward currents is the curvature drift
of energetic particles.
Assessing annual variability in the shell thickness of the pteropod Heliconoides inflatus in the Cariaco Basin using micro-CT scanning
Authors: Oakes Rosie L. , Sessa Jocelyn A.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Pteropods have been nicknamed the canary in the coal mine for ocean acidification because they are predicted to be among the first organisms to be affected by future changes in ocean chemistry. This is due to their fragile, aragonitic shells and high abundances in polar and sub-polar regions where the impacts of ocean acidification will manifest first. For pteropods to be used most effectively as indicators of ocean acidification, their natural variability in the modern ocean needs to be quantified and understood. Here, we measured the shell condition (i.e., the degree to which a shell has dissolved) and shell characteristics, including size, number of whorls, shell thickness, and shell volume (i.e., amount of shell material) of nearly fifty specimens of the pteropod species Heliconoides inflatus from a sediment trap in the Cariaco Basin, Venezuela sampled over an 11-month period. The water in the Cariaco Basin is supersaturated with respect to aragonite year-round, and hydrographic and chemical properties vary seasonally due to the movement of the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Shell condition was assessed using with two methods: the Limacina Dissolution Index (LDX) and the opacity method. The opacity method captured changes in shell condition only in the early stages of dissolution, whereas the LDX recorded dissolution changes over a much larger range. Shell condition did not deteriorate with the length of time in the sediment trap. Instead, the most altered shells occurred in samples collected in September and October when water temperatures were warmest, and the amount of organic matter degradation in the water column was likely to have been the greatest. Shells of H. inflatus varied in size, number of whorls, and thickness throughout the year. The number of whorls did not correlate with shell diameter, suggesting that shell growth is plastic. H. inflatus formed shells that were 40 % thicker and 20 % larger in diameter when nutrient concentrations were high during times of upwelling, compared to specimens sampled from the oligotrophic rainy season. This study produces a baseline dataset of the variability in shell characteristics of H. inflatus in the Cariaco Basin and establishes a methodology for generating similar baseline records for pteropod populations globally.
What should we do when a model crashes? Recommendations for global sensitivity analysis of Earth and environmental systems models
Authors: Sheikholeslami Razi , Razavi Saman , Haghnegahdar Amin
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Complex, software-intensive, technically advanced, and
computationally demanding models, presumably with ever-growing realism and
fidelity, have been widely used to simulate and predict the dynamics of the
Earth and environmental systems. The parameter-induced simulation crash
(failure) problem is typical across most of these models despite
considerable efforts that modellers have directed at model development and
implementation over the last few decades. A simulation failure mainly occurs
due to the violation of numerical stability conditions, non-robust
numerical implementations, or errors in programming. However, the existing
sampling-based analysis techniques such as global sensitivity analysis (GSA)
methods, which require running these models under many configurations of
parameter values, are ill equipped to effectively deal with model failures.
To tackle this problem, we propose a new approach that allows users to cope
with failed designs (samples) when performing GSA without rerunning the
entire experiment. This approach deems model crashes as missing data and
uses strategies such as median substitution, single nearest-neighbor, or
response surface modeling to fill in for model crashes. We test the
proposed approach on a 10-parameter HBV-SASK (Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning modified by the second author for educational purposes) rainfall–runoff model and a
111-parameter Modélisation
Environmentale–Surface et Hydrologie (MESH) land surface–hydrology model. Our results show that
response surface modeling is a superior strategy, out of the data-filling
strategies tested, and can comply with the dimensionality of the model,
sample size, and the ratio of the number of failures to the sample size.
Further, we conduct a “failure analysis” and discuss some possible causes
of the MESH model failure that can be used for future model improvement.
Surface water and groundwater: Unifying conceptualization and quantification of the two water worlds
Authors: Berkowitz Brian , Zehe Erwin
Published: October 2019

Abstract. While both surface water and groundwater hydrological systems exhibit structural, hydraulic and chemical heterogeneity, and signatures of self-organisation, modelling approaches between these two water world communities generally remain separate and distinct. To begin to unify these water worlds, we recognize that preferential flows, in a general sense, are a manifestation of self-organisation; they hinder perfect mixing within a system, due to a more energy efficient and hence faster throughput of water and matter. We develop this general notion by detailing the role of preferential flow for residence times and chemical transport, as well as for energy conversions and energy dissipation associated with flows of water and mass. Our principal focus is on the role of heterogeneity and preferential flow and transport of water and chemical species. We propose, essentially, that related conceptualizations and quantitative characterisations can be unified in terms of a theory that connects these two water worlds in a dynamic framework. We discuss key features of fluid flow and chemical transport dynamics in these two systems – surface water and groundwater – and then focus on chemical transport, merging treatment of many of these dynamics in a proposed quantitative framework. We then discuss aspects of a unified treatment of surface water and groundwater systems in terms of energy and mass flows, and close with a reflection on complementary manifestations of self-organisation in spatial patterns and temporal dynamic behaviour.
The influence of land use and land cover change on landslide susceptibility: a case study in Zhushan Town, Xuan'en County (Hubei, China)
Authors: Chen Lixia , Guo Zizheng , Yin Kunlong , Shrestha Dhruba Pikha , Jin Shikuan
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Land use and land cover change can increase or decrease landslide
susceptibility (LS) in the mountainous areas. In the hilly and mountainous
part of southwestern China, land use and land cover change (LUCC) has
taken place in the last decades due to infrastructure development and rapid
economic activities. This development and activities can worsen the slope
susceptible to sliding due to mostly the cutting of slopes. This study,
taking Zhushan Town, Xuan'en County, as the study area, aims to evaluate the
influence of land use and land cover change on landslide susceptibility at a
regional scale. Spatial distribution of landslides was determined in terms
of visual interpretation of aerial photographs and remote sensing images,
supported by field surveys. Two types of land use and land cover (LUC) maps,
with a time interval covering 21 years (1992–2013), were prepared: the first was obtained by the neural net classification of images acquired in 1992 and the second by the object-oriented classification of images in 2002 and 2013. Landslide-susceptible areas were analyzed using the logistic regression model (LRM) in which six influencing factors were chosen as the landslide susceptibility indices. In addition, the hydrologic analysis method was applied to optimize the partitioning of the terrain. The results indicated that the LUCC in the region was mainly the transformation from the grassland and arable land to the forest land, which is increased by 34.3 %. An increase of 1.9 % is shown in the area where human engineering activities concentrate. The comparison of landslide susceptibility maps among different periods revealed that human engineering activities were the most important factor in increasing LS in this region. Such results emphasize the requirement of a reasonable land use planning activity process.
InSAR technique applied to the monitoring of the Qinghai–Tibet Railway
Authors: Zhang Qingyun , Li Yongsheng , Zhang Jingfa , Luo Yi
Published: October 2019

Abstract. The Qinghai–Tibet Railway is located on the Qinghai–Tibet
Plateau and is the highest-altitude railway in the world. With the influence
of human activities and geological disasters, it is necessary to monitor
ground deformation along the Qinghai–Tibet Railway. In this paper, Advanced
Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) (T405 and T133) and TerraSAR-X data were
used to monitor the Lhasa–Naqu section of the Qinghai–Tibet Railway from
2003 to 2012. The data period covers the time before and after the opening
of the railway (total of 10 years). This study used full rank matrix small
baseline subset InSAR (FRAM-SBAS) time-series analysis to analyze the
Qinghai–Tibet Railway. Before the opening of the railway (from 2003 to
2005), the Lhasa–Naqu road surface deformation was not obvious, with a
maximum deformation of approximately 5 mm yr−1; in 2007, the railway was
completed and opened to traffic, and the resulting subsidence of the railway
in the district of Damxung was obvious (20 mm yr−1). After the opening of the
railway (from 2008 to 2010), the Damxung segment included a considerable
area of subsidence, while the northern section of the railway was relatively
stable. The results indicate that FRAM-SBAS technology is capable of
providing comprehensive and detailed subsidence information regarding
railways with millimeter-level accuracy. An analysis of the distribution of
geological hazards in the Damxung area revealed that the distribution of the
subsidence area coincided with that of the geological hazards, indicating
that the occurrence of subsidence in the Damxung area was related to the
influence of surrounding geological hazards and faults. Overall, the
peripheral surface of the Qinghai–Tibet Railway is relatively stable but
still needs to be verified with real-time monitoring to ensure that the
safety of the railway is maintained.
Encuentros e desencuentros en la ensenanza clínica de enfermería: una abordaje cualitativa centrada en la orientación clínica de los enfermeros en un contexto de asociaciones parceras
Authors: Silvestre Maria Rosa Pereira , Teodoro António
Published: October 2019

O presente estudo apoia-se numa abordagem de natureza qualitativa que visa responder à seguinte questão: que mudanças provocou a implementação das parcerias nas práticas clínicas e em que medida contribuíram para uma (re)aproximação entre docentes e enfermeiros em exercício enquanto orientadores clínicos? Partindo de uma amostra de nove enfermeiros orientadores (três docentes de enfermagem e seis enfermeiros do exercício), os quais foram entrevistados numa determinada área geográfica, optamos por um estudo múltiplo de casos, que consideramos etnográfico. O trabalho empírico decorreu em contextos diferentes: escola de enfermagem, hospital e centro de saúde, representantes institucionais das parcerias (os parceiros), por meio dos seus agentes sócioformativos. A este estudo também se aplicaram a observação participante e a análise de documentos como instrumentos de colheita de dados. Concluímos que os enfermeiros orientadores assistiram a algumas mudanças após a implementação das parcerias, mas que estas não constituem as mudanças desejadas, mas as mudanças possíveis e que existem vários obstáculos (factores) que contribuem para que isso aconteça. Contudo, os parceiros mostraram-se satisfeitos com as mudanças conseguidas, argumentando existir uma maior aproximação entre os docentes de enfermagem e os enfermeiros de exercício, enquanto decorre o ensino clínico. Actualmente, mostram-se apreensivos com as “reformas” instituídas no sistema nacional de saúde e temem que as mesmas possam afectar a componente educativa das parcerias em detrimento da componente económica, porque a “reforma” do sistema de saúde vigente, ultimamente, se direcciona essencialmente para a defesa de interesses economicistas.Descritores: Enfermagem; Ensino clínico; Contextos; Parcerias; Mudanças.

Inborn errors of metabolism in newcomer and refugee populations in Ontario, CA
Authors: Gannavarapu Srinitya , Prasad Madhavi , Prasad Chitra
Published: October 2019

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are a heterogenous group of rare, inherited disorders that impair the biochemical processes involved in metabolism. Many are treated with various restrictive diets in early infancy, prior to the appearance of symptoms to improve the overall outcomes of the affected individuals. Identification of individuals at a risk of developing metabolic disorders through newborn screening (NBS) programs and the subsequent early diagnosis and treatment are an invaluable aspect of healthcare in Canada. Incorporation of Canada’s expanding population of refugees and new immigrants presents with potential challenges and changes. Without the availability of NBS programs in many countries contributing to the refugee influx in Canada, it may be difficult to identify patients who are affected with these rare conditions. This article discusses: 1) the utility of newborn screening and diagnosis of metabolic diseases in immigrant and refugee populations, with complex medical presentations, and 2) a recent diagnosis of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (an IEM) in a refugee child past the age limit of NBS. An increasingly complicated and diverse refugee population requires a need for revision of existing healthcare practices pertaining to the diagnosis of rare diseases.
The Impact of Trust on Performance in a Supply Chain: Bridging the Gap Between Reliability and Power
Authors: Lennon Carmella D.
Published: October 2019

Overtime, as trends are steady changing, companies are steady growing. From online business to multiple locations across the globe, companies are not just growing in revenue and reputation but also in staff. Most companies focus on building processes and relationships amongst staff through thorough communication. However, sometimes, it can be difficult in implementing processes and relationships with staff due to reliability and power. With these two factors, many people can either thrive in their interactions or otherwise, be unsuccessful.In many studies, reliability and power are two known components that helps reflect performance in a supply chain. However, what bridges the gap between reliability and power? What makes an individual validate a person as reliable and powerful? What makes a process implemented in the supply chain reliable and powerful? This paper implies that trust is a component that bridge the gap between the two constructs. An individual or process that is reliable will often be trusted and obtain powerful exchanges. This paper will address and evaluate the relationship between trust, power, and reliability. The paper will briefly show a constructed model to illustrate the relationship between the variables and how it affects performance in a supply chain. Next, limitations of research will be addressed followed by suggestions for future research.
Patient Satisfaction Is Improved With Exposure to Trauma Recovery Services
Authors: Simske Natasha M. , Benedick Alex , Rascoe Alexander S. , Hendrickson Sarah B. , Vallier Heather A.
Published: October 2019

Introduction:

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of Trauma Recovery Services (TRS), a program facilitating engagement and recovery on satisfaction after orthopaedic trauma.

Methods:

Two hundred ninety-four patients with surgically managed extremity fractures were prospectively surveyed. Satisfaction was assessed after 12 months using a 13-question telephone survey, rated on a Likert scale from 1 to 5 (with five being excellent). TRS resource utilization during and after hospitalization was recorded. Eighty-eight patients (30%) used TRS.

Results:

Overall satisfaction was high with a mean score of 4.32. Although no differences were observed between the control group and patients with TRS utilization in age, sex, race, insurance, smoking history, or employment status, TRS patients sustained more high-energy mechanisms (81% versus 56%) and had more associated psychiatric illness (33% versus 17%), both P < 0.01. Multivariable regression indicated general exposure to TRS to be an independent predictor of higher overall care ratings (B = 1.31; P = 0.03).

Discussion:

Utilization of TRS was the greatest predictor of better overall care ratings. This study builds on existing evidence demonstrating the positive impact of Trauma Survivor Network programming. We conclude that a hospital-wide program supporting patient education and engagement can effectively increase patient satisfaction after traumatic injury.

In het spoor van Radbruch. De Nederlandse rechtsfilosofie en de erfenis van de oorlog (1946-1949)

Hoe was het met de Nederlandse rechtsfilosofie gesteld in de eerste jaren na de bevrijding? In die periode lag binnen de Vereniging voor Wijsbegeerte des Rechts (VWR) het accent op de verhouding tussen recht en gerechtigheid in het licht van het recente verleden. Dit artikel bespreekt interventies van drie actieve VWR-leden in de jaren 1946-1949: C.M.O. van Nispen tot Sevenaer, I. Kisch en G.E. Langemeijer. Gelet op het sterke accent op de relatie tussen recht en moraal in deze periode, is het niet verwonderlijk dat de rechtsfilosofie van Gustav Radbruch destijds binnen de VWR veel bijval kreeg. Wat was Radbruchs invloed op deze drie rechtsfilosofen? Het artikel besluit met een bespreking van de herdenkingsrede die VWR-voorzitter M.P. Vrij in 1949 uitsprak bij het dertigjarig bestaan. Deze rede markeert het eindpunt van vier jaar van intensieve aandacht voor de rechtsfilosofische implicaties van de ervaring van juridisch onrecht.

De waarde van het parlement: Van der Pot bij de VWR, Schmitt en het parlement als architectonisch-ordeningsprincipe

In dit artikel wordt de waarde van het instituut parlement verkend. Daartoe analyseert de auteur eerst een lezing die de Nederlandse staatsrechtsgeleerde C.W. van der Pot in 1925 over dit thema hield bij de VWR. Vervolgens wordt Van der Pots opvatting gecontrasteerd met de diametraal tegengestelde benadering van Carl Schmitt, die zich, rond dezelfde tijd, over dit vraagstuk boog in Duitsland. Tot slot schetst de auteur, via een alternatieve, wellicht excentrieke, interpretatie van Schmitt waar een belangrijke waarde van het moderne parlement zou kunnen liggen.
Changes in contemporary logistics management in the light of intelligent logistics
Authors: Marzantowicz Łukasz
Published: October 2019

The article is a contribution to taking a stand in the discussion about the place of intelligent technological solutions in logistics management and supply chain management. On the basis of the theory, the aim of the article was determined to indicate changes in the management centre on the strategic level in the supply chain management. Areas of changes in logistics management due to the use of intelligent technologies were indicated. The role of intelligent logistic applications in managing the contemporary supply chain as a result of changing the classical approach to management towards changes in competences of managers at the strategic level in the supply chain has been defined. The assumptions determining the supremacy of managing the contemporary supply chain over the classical approach to logistics management in the light of intelligent logistics were also established.

As indústrias de cerâmica vermelha atualmente apresentam um papel relevante como receptoras de resíduos sólidos que tem como visão sua disposição final. Se for realizado de maneira criteriosa, esta incorporação pode permitir dar um destino ambientalmente correto para esses resíduos que, de outra forma, seriam depositados na natureza o que os tornariam fontes de poluição. A incorporação dos resíduos em cerâmica vermelha pode ser um método de atender os interesses das indústrias de cerâmicas vermelhas, lucratividade e beneficio ao meio ambiente, com isso possibilita a elaboração de novos produtos tendo uma qualidade compatível com os produtos já existentes no mercado tradicional. Adicionando diferentes percentuais de cinzas de biomassa, 5%; 10%; 15% e 20%, na massa argilosa utilizada para a preparação dos corpos de prova de cerâmica vermelha, após a queima dos corpos de prova os mesmos foram avaliados em relação às alterações que foram produzidas nas propriedades físicas e mecânicas da cerâmica após o acréscimo das cinzas. As propriedades físicas e mecânicas avaliadas foram: massa especifica aparente, absorção de água, retração linear e tensão de ruptura à compressão. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que a adição da cinza à massa cerâmica contribuiu para aumento da porosidade e, consequentemente, piora na qualidade da cerâmica.

Application du modèle du « Job/Demand/Resource » à l’analyse des niveaux de stress des cadres
Authors: Ben Aissa Hazem , Sassi Narjes
Published: October 2019

Les recherches sur le stress permettent d’identifier des métiers fortement exposés tel que le métier de cadre. Cependant, peu d’études permettent d’identifier les différences intra-profession entre les contextes négatifs et ceux positifs. Nous retenons le cadre du « Job/Demand/Resource » pour identifier des configurations des niveaux de stress qui résultent de l’articulation entre la charge de travail et les ressources organisationnelles. Les configurations identifiées résultent d’une étude qualitative par entretiens semi-directifs menés auprès de 20 cadres. Nos résultats permettent d’affiner la lecture binaire du modèle J/D/R en identifiant quatre configurations qui composent un continuum de situations plus ou moins stressantes.

Notre étude cherche à évaluer, dans un cadre théorique articulant le champ politique de la RSE et l’analyse institutionnelle comparée, la performance sociétale des entreprises dans différents modèles de capitalisme. Elle vise à interroger l’hypothèse très discutée de la convergence des différents modèles vers un type libéral anglo-saxon, dans un contexte de globalisation économique et financière. Nos résultats montrent que les modèles de capitalisme libéral, européen continental et social-démocrate demeurent soumis à des pressions institutionnelles qui impactent de manière différenciée la performance sociétale des entreprises nationales, remettant en cause l’hypothèse d’une convergence des pratiques sociétales entre économies de marché libéral et coordonnée.

Introduction au dossier spécial
Authors: Very Philippe , Tournois Nadine
Published: October 2019

Deux théories d’internationalisation dominent aujourd’hui la recherche sur le développement des entreprises à l’international : le modèle Uppsala de Johanson et Vahlne (1977) qui fut réaménagé par ses auteurs en 2009, et le modèle International New Ventures de Oviatt et McDougall (1994). Ces théories sont souvent opposées, en particulier sur les dimensions de processus et de vitesse. Dans cet essai, nous proposons d’adopter une vision différente de ces théories en examinant trois concepts qu’elles partagent : l’avantage concurrentiel, l’ouverture internationale et la connaissance. Nous montrons en quoi les théories convergent ou divergent quant à l’utilisation de ces concepts en examinant les postulats sous-jacents à chaque théorie. Nous déduisons de l’analyse que ces théories possèdent des traits communs en dépit de leurs différences et dessinons quelques pistes de recherche qui aideraient à comprendre l’efficience de ces processus.
Les réseaux sociaux numériques : analyse de leurs utilisations dans le cadre de l’internationalisation des petites entreprises
Authors: Deprince Elodie , Arnone Laurent
Published: October 2019

L’objet de cet article est de mieux comprendre les rôles que jouent les réseaux sociaux numériques (RSN) dans un contexte d’internationalisation pour les petites entreprises (PE). L’étude de cas multiples réalisée entre 2013 et 2014 montre que les RSN contribuent à faciliter l’internationalisation des PE, notamment pour renforcer leurs relations avec leurs partenaires à l’étranger. Les petites entreprises utilisent ces outils pour communiquer à trois « niveaux » (organisationnel, individuel professionnel et privé). Les RSN permettent une approche plus directe des marchés étrangers et, dans certains cas, une accélération du processus d’internationalisation.

Published: October 2019

Drawing on the internationalization literature, stakeholder theory and the literature linking Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and international business, we study how CSR influences SME internationalization and how internationalization influences CSR adoption by SMEs. We used qualitative methods to study these processes in four SMEs in the agro-food industry. Our findings indicate that internationalization significantly influences CSR adoption by SMEs, while CSR influences the speed and scope of internationalization.
Gravity for Domestic and International Alliances: A CAGE Perspective
Authors: Engsig Juliane , Chiambaretto Paul , Le Roy Frédéric
Published: October 2019

This paper assesses the relevance of the Gravity model to investigations of alliance flows within and between countries. Accordingly we aim to identify how different distance dimensions impact the alliance partner choice. Inspired by economics research, we use the Gravity model to estimate and analyse bilateral alliance flows within countries and between country pairs. Our results show that the richer the companies’ home countries are, the more alliances are found between firms of these two countries. We also reveal that too much geographic and cultural distance between two countries decreases the number of alliances signed between firms of these countries.

Ils permettent de contourner les barrières inhérentes à la taille et accéder à de nouvelles opportunités. Peu de travaux se sont attachés à étudier les difficultés émanant de ces réseaux. L’étude de cas longitudinale conduite auprès d’une PME implantée en Chine montre que la mobilisation des réseaux entraine un risque de dépendance, des tensions internes et des coûts élevés. La réussite en Chine dépend de la capacité de la PME à diversifier ses réseaux et à sélectionner le bon middle man chinois.
Chinese Foreign Direct Investment in France: Motivations and Management Style
Authors: Gao Ni , Schaaper Johannes
Published: October 2019

This research investigates the main motivations driving China’s foreign direct investment (FDI) in France and the management style that Chinese companies adopt toward their French subsidiaries. On the basis of interviews with managers of 17 Chinese subsidiaries in France, the authors identify sales in French and European markets as the main driver of Chinese FDI in France. Chinese FDI in France also aims at building bridges to African markets. The second FDI motive is asset seeking. For managing their subsidiaries in France, the Chinese companies adopt a polycentric management style. The Chinese parent companies rely on French managers, while Chinese expatriates adopt observational attitudes. This research confirms that the Chinese government is closely involved in Chinese outward FDI and supports both the “linkage, leverage, and learning” perspective and springboard theory.
La communication, moteur de la confiance dans le cas extrême d’un partenariat sino-français
Authors: Anglès Valérie
Published: October 2019

La confiance est considérée comme un élément indispensable au succès des partenariats internationaux. La communication en est un moyen d’élaboration essentiel pourtant rarement observé. Nous étudions ici comment la communication participe au processus de création de la confiance dans le cas extrême d’un partenariat sans investissement sino-français. L’étude qualitative confirme que l’augmentation des opportunités et des facilitateurs de la communication favorise la confiance. De plus, au modèle de création de la confiance basé sur la perception des facteurs de confiance, l’étude permet d’ajouter une deuxième boucle liée à l’expression de la confiance, elle-même moteur de la confiance.
Retaining Repatriate Knowledge at the Crossroads Between Global Knowledge Management and Global Talent Management
Authors: Davoine Eric , Barmeyer Christoph , Rossi Clelia
Published: October 2019

While recent contributions introduce the need for dialog between global knowledge management (GKM) and global talent management (GTM) to facilitate repatriate knowledge transfer, a literature gap exists regarding the implementation of this hybrid approach. Using the theoretical backgrounds of repatriate knowledge, GKM and GTM, we define the challenges of retaining repatriate knowledge and suggest approaches to overcome these. Building on the qualitative case study of a German multinational company we introduce a specific organizational measure, the country expert program, which, by being at the crossroads between GKM and GTM and thus facilitating learning, overcomes repatriate knowledge transfer’s major challenges.
Quelle mesure pour la culture nationale ? Hofstede vs Schwartz vs Globe
Authors: Moalla Emna
Published: October 2019

La culture nationale « ou distance culturelle » a fait l’objet de plusieurs recherches dans le champ du management international (MI). Afin de mesurer la distance culturelle, ces recherches ont largement mobilisé le cadre culturel de Hofstede. Cet article évalue et compare les différents cadres culturels les plus importants en MI. S’appuyant sur un échantillon d’opérations de rapprochement menées par des entreprises françaises à l’étranger, l’étude révèle des résultats différents selon le cadre culturel mobilisé. Si les cadres culturels de Schwartz et de Globe, tout comme le cadre révisé de Hofstede, semblent influencer le choix du mode d’entrée, aucune incidence ne résulte du cadre culturel initial de Hofstede.
Modèles de management et stratégies identitaires des salariés : l’exemple des centres d’appels offshore tunisiens
Authors: Nyobe Sara , Baret Christophe , Oiry Ewan
Published: October 2019

Cet article montre que le modèle de management choisi par une entreprise a un impact sur les stratégies identitaires de ses salariés. Des donneurs d’ordres occidentaux francophones demandent aux salariés de quatre centres d’appels offshore en Tunisie de se faire « passer » pour des salariés français même s’ils sont en réalité tunisiens. Ces salariés développent des stratégies identitaires pour gérer la tension forte entre cette identité imposée et leur identité personnelle. En utilisant le cadre conceptuel des modèles de management, cet article montre que les stratégies identitaires des salariés varient en fonction du modèle de management choisi par leur entreprise.
Saint-Boniface au coeur d’un catholicisme continental et pluraliste
Authors: Perin Roberto
Published: October 2019

Le présent article se focalise sur le premier siècle de l’histoire animée de l’Église de Saint-Boniface qui vient de fêter son bicentenaire. Centre névralgique dans la diffusion du catholicisme vers les océans Pacifique et Arctique, cette Église est, dès ses débuts, hétérogène et pluraliste. Avec ses composantes francophone, indigène, métisse, anglophone et allophone, elle est un véritable creuset de diversité ethnique et linguistique au sein de l’Église canadienne, expression et préfiguration du pluralisme qui, sept décennies plus tard, deviendra un élément définisseur de l’identité canadienne.
Le destin d’une soeur grise de Montréal dans la Prairie : contribution d’une « vie » anonyme au débat sur l’approche biographique en histoire
Authors: Laperle Dominique
Published: October 2019

Ce texte cherche à mesurer l’apport des éléments biographiques de la vie de Reine Saint-Jacques, une soeur grise, à l’histoire du développement des soins de santé dans l’ouest du Canada. Plus largement, ce texte aspire à comprendre, dans le cadre du débat sur l’approche biographique en histoire, les impacts d’une religieuse dont le parcours semble ordinaire.
Faire Église au nord du 51e parallèle : la vie paroissiale à Gagnon et Fermont dans un Québec en mutation (1958-1979)
Authors: Bernier Emmanuel
Published: October 2019

Malgré la sécularisation progressive de la société québécoise dans les années 1960-1970, de nombreuses paroisses catholiques apparaissent encore à travers la province. Cet article tente de cerner les spécificités de la vie paroissiale de cette époque dans deux nouvelles villes excentrées : Gagnon et Fermont. Nous verrons que ces deux paroisses minières nord-côtières prises en charges par les eudistes doivent en effet composer avec des défis particuliers, non seulement à cause de la nouveauté du peuplement, mais également de leur isolement géographique et du fait qu’elles sont implantées dans des villes d’industrie.
L’ENVERS DU MONDE
Authors: Rondeau Frédéric
Published: October 2019

Cet article porte sur la dimension narrative de la poésie de Patrice Desbiens. L’auteur y formule l’hypothèse que si l’écriture du poète souhaite rendre compte d’existences précaires, celle-ci adopte une narration délibérément interrompue, entrecoupée et inachevée. En empruntant à la notion de montage développée par l’historien de l’art Georges Didi-Huberman, Frédéric Rondeau analyse les sentiments d’insécurité et d’isolement présents dans l’oeuvre de Desbiens pour démontrer qu’ils servent moins à décrire un groupe précis ou une minorité — les Franco-Canadiens, par exemple — qu’à mettre en évidence le fait qu’ils unissent les hommes.
PATRICE DESBIENS : CONSÉCRATION ET ESTHÉTIQUE DE LA PAUVRETÉ1
Authors: Hotte Lucie
Published: October 2019

Reconnu comme un des plus importants poètes franco-ontariens, Patrice Desbiens n’a pourtant pas remporté d’importants prix littéraires. Cet article explique cet écart entre la notoriété de l’auteur et sa consécration par une analyse de sa réception critique qui oscille entre l’éloge sans retenue et la critique virulente. Il montre que les choix esthétiques du poète — qui privilégie ce que l’autrice appelle une « esthétique de la pauvreté » — contribuent à cette réception mitigée.
EZILI ET SOLITUDE À MONTRÉAL
Authors: Duff Christine
Published: October 2019

Le livre d’Emma de l’écrivaine haïtienne-québécoise Marie-Célie
Agnant suscite une attention critique qui ne fait que s’accroître depuis sa parution
en 2001. La présente étude élargit la discussion en évoquant l’une des figures
féminines les plus importantes du panthéon vodou, Ezili, afin de proposer de lire à
travers celle-ci le personnage éponyme du roman. Si des représentations d’Ezili font
déjà l’objet d’études dans la littérature haïtienne, on ne peut dire de même quant à
la fiction de la diaspora au Québec. Au-delà d’un simple repérage de
caractéristiques partagées par Emma et Ezili, l’analyse textuelle ici proposée
démontre combien le personnage d’Agnant dessine un lieu de rencontre où divers
référents culturels entrent en dialogue. De nouvelles significations se produisent
dont les répercussions sont importantes pour l’analyse de la littérature
transculturelle.
Le révisionnisme historique et la création des métis de l’est
Authors: Leroux Darryl R. Joseph
Published: October 2019

Le présent article porte sur le phénomène récent des revendications autochtones chez les descendant·e·s des premiers colons de la Nouvelle-France, à savoir les Franco-Québécois au Québec et les Acadiens en Nouvelle-Écosse. Nous y soutenons que les prétentions actuelles à une identité métisse autochtone revendiquant une reconnaissance juridique en vertu de laLoi constitutionnelle de 1982sont profondément ancrées dans des logiques de colonialisme de peuplement blanc (white settler colonialism). Notre article révèle l’omniprésence de la mythologie du métissage dans différents documents. Pour infirmer de telles revendications, nous démontrons que la politique de la France en Nouvelle-France se voulait avant tout une tentative de francisation des peuples autochtones. En d’autres mots, les colonisateurs français cherchaient plus à assimiler les peuples autochtones qui auraient maintenu un mode de vie autochtone qu’à constituer une société hybride sur le plan culturel. Faute de preuves suffisantes d’un métissage soutenu au début des colonies au Québec et en Acadie, nous passons en revue les arguments de deux principaux organismes représentant les soi-disant métis de l’est.
L’après-mobilisation : le Mouvement du 20 Février au Maroc, de la désillusion au redéploiement de l’engagement
Authors: Beauchesne Pierre-Luc
Published: October 2019

Cet article analyse l’impact du Mouvement du 20 Février (M20F) au Maroc qui émerge dans le sillage des soulèvements arabes de 2011 en se focalisant sur le devenir des participants dans l’après-mobilisation. L’essoufflement de la dynamique protestataire et la mise en veille du mouvement ont pu s’accompagner d’un sentiment de désillusion chez les militants. Ce sentiment n’a pas que favorisé la démobilisation, mais aussi le redéploiement de l’engagement à d’autres échelles, suivant d’autres temporalités, vers les « structures de rémanence » (abeyance structures) de l’espace protestataire. L’épreuve du M20F a indéniablement marqué une génération de militants qui s’inscrivent dans la continuité des combats de leurs aînés, mais qui veulent faire entendre une autre voix dans les espaces protestataires comme dans les arènes de la politique instituée.
