Electronic Recruitment (E-Recruitment) and Organizational Performance in Selected Commercial Banks in Nakuru City, Kenya
Authors: Mosonik Gladys Chepkorir , Sang Hellen , Rop Williter
Published: October 2022

Organizations across the globe are now operating in a dynamic environment with stiff competition which calls for improved performance for survival and continuity. Every department in these organizations is continuously improving its ways of operation in order to maintain a competitive edge. Human Resource Management department is not an exception and being the backbone of every organization, is doing everything possible to embrace new technology in delivering its services for enhanced effectiveness and efficiency. The objective was to compare the relationship between recruitment and organizational performance of selected commercial banks in Nakuru City before and after the adoption of technology. The study was guided by the Resource Based View theory and adopted a comparative research design on a target population of 105 employees from selected banks that have embraced electronic human resource management. The Census method was used which involved using the entire population as this is considered suitable for a small population. A self-administered questionnaire was adopted to collect primary data. The validity of the instrument was enhanced through professional expert opinion while reliability was achieved using the Cronbach Alpha coefficient where all items scored above 0.70. Inferential and descriptive statistics with the aid of SPSS software was used to analyse data. The hypotheses of the study were tested at a 0.05 significance level. The findings indicated that recruitment had a negative significant correlation with organizational performance before automation (β = -0.361, p = 0.000<0.05) whereas after automation, there was a positive correlation (β = 0.907, p = 0.000<0.05). The study recommended the integration of technology in organizational processes as a worthwhile undertaking that has positive returns on investment. Organizations should design and implement e-Recruitment systems for more efficiency and effectiveness in their HR activities. The findings may benefit both financial and non-financial institutions, policymakers, and the government. The findings may also add to the available literature
Performance Evaluation of a Reduction Vibration in Robotic Arm Controller by Tuning Gain
Authors: Alrawi Ali Amer Ahmed , Abbas Ahmed A. , Kamil N Yasameen , Ibraheem Zeyid T.
Published: October 2022

In this paper, the challenges that a designer has while attempting to create a variable structure controller for a robotic arm controller that exhibits vibration rattling are examined. This challenge is made more difficult by a number of characteristics, including oscillation, a limited frequency range, and amplitude. The outcomes of this research make it very evident that these challenges must be selected. The majority of the time, this is because the gain setting on the controller was left at an inappropriately high level. A solution that has been referred to as a Modified Variable Structure Controller (MVSC) has been suggested for this issue. In addition, a brand-new technique for managing variable structure controller proportional gain has been developed, which has made it feasible to cut down on rattles. You can find a comprehensive description of this approach further down below. The suggested approach provides both a high level of accuracy and a quick response time in the event that an external disruption or a change in the variables of the process occurs. Previous approaches, some of which are discussed in this article, can be found at this situation. In order to carry out the pre-programmed simulations, MATLAB/SIMULINK was the tool of choice.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRESTIGE VALUE, UTILITARIAN, HEDONIC, AND SELF-ESTEEM MOTIVES TOWARDS ONLINE SHOPPING BEHAVIOR THROUGH SHOPPING INTENTION AND IMPULSE SHOPPING TENDENCY
Authors: Raizha Alieffira , Kurniawati Kurniawati
Published: October 2022

Marketplace is currently being disrupted by technology, similar to how the internet and digital platforms explosive rise in the globalization era. The growth of e-commerce changed customer behavior in purchasing items, from offline to online shopping, caused by some motives i.e., hedonic motives, self-esteem, and utilitarian motives. This study aims to comprehend how self-esteem, hedonic value, and utilitarian motivations relate to online shopping behavior, using shopping intention and impulse buying tendency as mediators. This study supports the idea that customers' online purchasing behavior is influenced by their intentions to shop and their propensity for impulsive purchases. 302 respondents who utilize e-commerce were distributed and their responses were gathered.  As one of the requirements in this survey, respondents who complete the survey are people who have utilized e-commerce platform for at least three months. AMOS was used to analyze this study. Additionally, this study demonstrates that shopping intention is primary in online shopping behavior. This knowledge will help marketers develop strategies to maximize business performance, such as creating a variety of product categories that can boost customers' self-confidence. The product assortment should also be visually appealing, motivating, and emotionally appealing to the target market. Further discussion and implications are provided in the article.
Use of Social Networking Site and prevalence of Depression among Medical Students in Vikarabad, Telengana
Authors: Ajit Mogalgiddi  , Bukya Kalyani
Published: October 2022

Background: Humans are social creatures that require the company of others in order to thrive in life. As a result,although being socially connected with other people might help to reduce stress, anxiety, and melancholy, a lack of socialconnection can put one’s mental health at danger.Objective: To study and establish correlation between the use of Social Networking sites and depression among medicalstudents in a single center study.Methods: A cross-sectional research was done among 200 medical college undergraduate students. A systematicquestionnaire was used to obtain data about medical students’ individual characteristics and use of social media sites.The Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale were used to assess anxiety and depression. The prevalence was calculated as apercentage, and the association was assessed using the Mann-Whitney U-test.Results: Association between frequency of use of SNS and Depression is more in students who use 1-3 times in a day 20%and in the students who used atleast 1hr it is 19.23% ,in students who use 4-7 times is 15.38% whereas in students whouse 8-23 times it is 17.54%. The students who were awake early morning and used SNSs often was more 25% than thosewho were awake sometimes (15%) and never (18%) similarly the students who spent late nights in using SNSs was moreamong who were often awake late night (25%) than those who were awake late night Sometimes (14.6%) and never (19%).Conclusion: The current study found that SNS use was nearly ubiquitous among study participants, with the majority ofthem being heavy SNS users. A large percentage of medical students show a strong preference for SNSs. Intense usage ofsocial media sites, especially use at unusual hours, was shown to be strongly (although not statistically significant) linkedto depression. Despite the fact that the problem is still relatively new, it is significant enough to warrant attention. To solvethe complicated relationship between social media use and mental health concerns, further study is needed.
Calibrating your own fears: Feasibility of a remote fear conditioning paradigm with semi-subjective stimulus calibration and differences in fear learning
Authors: Berg Frederic , Margraf Jürgen , Wannemüller André
Published: October 2022

Fear conditioning studies have occurred mostly in the laboratory, but recently researchers have started to adapt fear conditioning procedures for remote application. Standardization of aversive stimulus material not causing unnecessarily strong discomfort remains an issue especially relevant to research without experimental supervision. The present study introduces a novel semi-subjective method to calibrate aversive sounds in a remotely conducted fear conditioning paradigm. To demonstrate feasibility and proof of concept, 165 participants completed the paradigm, calibrating the loudness of an aversive sound without the guidance of an experimental instructor. This study also aimed to replicate existing findings of participant groups that differed in their early CS-UCS contingency awareness. Participants were classified as Accurate (UCS more likely after the CS+ than CS–), Poor (UCS more likely after the CS- than CS+, or UCS unlikely after either CS), and Threat Biased (UCS equally likely after the CS+ and CS–). Results indicated both the feasibility and efficacy of the paradigm, with participants showing typical patterns of fear learning. Threat Biased participants showed significantly higher uncertainty towards safety signals. There were no differences between the groups in terms of personality traits, thus questioning whether these attributes mediate differences in fear learning and the emergence of anxiety disorders. Using semi-subjective sound calibration appears to be functional, and future studies may consider implementing the new method when remotely administering fear conditioning paradigms.

Authors: Vasyukova Anna , Moskalenko Alexandra , Kapitsa Galina , Sharova Tamara
Published: October 2022

The level of scientific and technical literature related to the research topic is analyzed. Unexplored areas in the technique and technology of combined fish-growing pastes have been identified. The direction of work on improving the technology and recipes of fish-growing pastes for public catering is formulated. The relevance of the work is justified by the fact that chemically balanced fish-growing pastes will be in high demand, and will occupy a significant segment in the market of specialized products. The article is of a research nature and is devoted to high-tech processing of secondary fish cutting resources as the basis of multicomponent fish-growing pastes. The algorithm for obtaining pastes corresponds to the sequence of technological operations proposed by the authors: cutting fish into fillets, mechanically deboning bones with cuts of meat, processing bone mass by acid method into a mineral additive, cooking the main fish mass, mixing with vegetable components, filling the shell with paste and heat treatment in a steam convector. For the first time, the possibility of manufacturing fish-growing pastes based on meat of mechanical deboning of fillet-produced fish and obtaining a product with high commodity characteristics has been theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed.
Anthropogenic impact on populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in the Arctic basin of the Russian Federation
Authors: Vorobyov Valery
Published: October 2022

The global problems of anthropogenic impact on the planet Earth and marine ecosystems, pollution in the 21st century of the World Ocean, including the Arctic seas, negatively affecting the reproduction of marine biological resources are considered. For more than half a century, the intensively developing exploitation of the bioresources of the World Ocean shelf has led to a de-crease in the number of mammals, fish, mollusks, crustaceans, algae and other valuable aquatic organisms. In many developed countries, due to economic activity and industrial pollution of coastal territories, there is a depression in the number and a de-crease in intraspecific diversity, due to the loss of populations of passing marine "wild" Atlantic salmon and other aquatic organ-isms. Since the late 1980s, natural Atlantic salmon stocks have declined significantly. In the main spawning rivers of the Mur-mansk region, the content of pollutants in the spring is marked on the scale as high and extremely high levels of pollution. The oxygen content and water quality in rivers decrease, the number of saprophytic bacteria increases, the species diversity of zoo-plankton and phytoplankton decreases. Diseases and death of populations of spawning Atlantic salmon occur. A program has been developed to comprehensively investigate the causes of mass disease and death of Atlantic salmon populations, and to de-velop measures to restore a genetically healthy salmon population in the Arctic region of Russia.
Computer-based cognitive training programs: effects on executive functions in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Authors:   Universidad del Tolima, Universidad surcolombiana, Fundación universitaria Maria Cano, Robledo-Castro Carolina , Bonilla-Santos Gisella , Lerma-Castaño Piedad Rocío
Published: October 2022

Review question / Objective: This systematic review aimed to synthesize the existing literature reporting the effects of computer-based cognitive training on the executive functions of children with ADHD. Condition being studied: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder diagnosed in childhood, characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Today it is recognized that ADHD is associated with an alteration in the volume and level of activation in prefrontal areas related to executive functions. Based on these clinical findings, some authors suggest that ADHD is not a disorder of primary attention origin but instead responds to an alteration in the synaptic circuits of some brain areas, including the prefrontal neocortex, areas involved in cognitive regulation and control, and processes known as executive functions.

Arctia matronula (Linnaeus, 1758) has three subspecies. The nominotypical subspecies is widespread from France to the Russian Far East, China and Korea; Arctia matronula sachalinensis (Draudt, 1931) is known from Sakhalin Island; Arctia matronula helena (Dubatolov & Kishida, 2004) is distributed in Kunashir Island and Japan. In this paper, we present the revision of subspecies of Arctia matronula, provide the first COI barcode data for insular subspecies, confirm the validity of A. m. helena, and consider A. m. sachalinensis syn. nov. as a synonym of the nominotypical subspecies.

To achieve sustainable development and to form an export-oriented model of economic growth, Kazakhstan is making a transition to low-carbon development. The transformation of the economy has improved the investment climate in the country making Kazakhstan one of the key recipients of foreign direct investment in Central Asia. In view of the above, the need to increase the scientific validity of measures taken by the state for increasing the investment attractiveness of the geological exploration industry, on the progress of which changing the resource-export model of development largely depends and building up the energy security of Kazakhstan, is updated. The article identifies the key factors constraining the strengthening of the market positions of the geological industry in Kazakhstan and negatively affecting its investment attractiveness. It has been substantiated that the sectoral problems accumulated over the entire post-Soviet period hinder the further advancement of all the extractive industries and require the activation of new measures of state support. The author analyzes the actions planned by the state to reduce socio-economic tension in single-industry towns caused by the depletion of the mineral resource base near their location. The analysis of the state regulation mechanisms of the subsoil use and the mining and metallurgical industry that are especially attractive for investors, leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to reform the Kazakhstan model of financing geological exploration using the principles of public-private partnership. An example of adaptation by Kazakhstan of the leading countriesexperience in attracting junior companies to geological exploration is considered. The difficulties that hinder the advancement of juniors in the Kazakhstan market, the opportunities for overcoming and opening up prospects have been identified. It has been substantiated that in the medium term one of the new investment policy guidelines in the geological exploration industry should be an innovative and technological course towards digital transformation of production and management processes. At the same time, Kazakhstan, like other countries with the transit economy, will have to overcome the risks and challenges that have emerged as a result of global digitalization. The article shows that to stimulate digitalization of geological exploration, significant investments are needed, which will require, alongside with government regulation, searching for new forms and mechanisms of publicprivate partnership.
APPLICATION OF ANALYTICAL REDUNDANCY OF MEASUREMENTS TO INCREASE THE RELIABILITY OF AIRCRAFT ATTITUDE CONTROL
Authors: Kosacki Kamil , Tomczyk Andrzej
Published: October 2022

This article presents basic methodology and some algorithms for estimating attitude and heading angles of an unmanned or optionally piloted aircraft in the event of a partial failure of the on-board measurement systems. The aim of the research is to develop effective estimation algorithms of non-measurable aircraft state variables. Correlation between quantities describing kinematics of the aircraft’s movement in space were used. Properties of the estimation algorithms are illustrated by exemplary calculations using real data recorded during test flights of the optionally controlled MP-02A Czajka airplane. Quality of the estimated signals allows to continue flight in case of a non-catastrophic failure of the measurement systems. Developed algorithms are used in control systems designed at the Department of Avionics and Control of the Rzeszów University of Technology, dedicated to unmanned and optionally controlled light aircraft.
WISE/NEOWISE Multiepoch Imaging of the Potentially Geminid-related Asteroids: (3200) Phaethon, 2005 UD, and 1999 YC
Authors: Kasuga Toshihiro , Masiero Joseph R.
Published: October 2022

We present space-based thermal infrared observations of the presumably Geminid-associated asteroids: (3200) Phaethon, 2005 UD, and 1999 YC using Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer/Near-Earth Object WISE. The images were taken at the four wavelength bands 3.4μm (W1), 4.6μm (W2), 12μm (W3), and 22μm (W4). We find no evidence of lasting mass loss in the asteroids over the decadal multiepoch data sets. We set an upper limit to the mass-loss rate in dust ofQdust≲ 2 kg s−1for Phaethon and ≲0.1 kg s−1for both 2005 UD and 1999 YC, respectively, with little dependency over the observed heliocentric distances ofRh= 1.0–2.3 au. For Phaethon, even if the maximum mass loss was sustained over the 1000(s) yr dynamical age of the Geminid stream, it is more than two orders of magnitude too small to supply the reported stream mass (1013–14kg). The Phaethon-associated dust trail (Geminid stream) is not detected atRh= 2.3 au, corresponding to an upper limit on the optical depth ofτ< 7 × 10−9. Additionally, no comoving asteroids with radiire< 650 m were found. The DESTINY+dust analyzer would be capable of detecting several of the 10μm sized interplanetary dust particles when at far distances (≳50,000 km) from Phaethon. From 2005 UD, if the mass-loss rate lasted over the 10,000 yr dynamical age of the Daytime Sextantid meteoroid stream, the mass of the stream would be ∼1010kg. The 1999 YC images showed neither the related dust trail (the optical depthτ< 2 × 10−8) nor comoving objects with radiire< 170 m atRh= 1.6 au. Estimated physical parameters from these limits do not explain the production mechanism of the Geminid meteoroid stream. Lastly, to explore the origin of the Geminids, we discuss the implications for our data in relation to the possibly sodium-driven perihelion activity of Phaethon.

We construct a catalog of star clusters from Hubble Space Telescope images of the inner disk of the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) using image classifications collected by the Local Group Cluster Search, a citizen science project hosted on the Zooniverse platform. We identify 1214 star clusters within the Hubble Space Telescope imaging footprint of the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury: Triangulum Extended Region (PHATTER) survey. Comparing this catalog to existing compilations in the literature, 68% of the clusters are newly identified. The final catalog includes multiband aperture photometry and fits for cluster properties via integrated light spectral energy distribution fitting. The cluster catalog’s 50% completeness limit is ∼1500 M
☉ at an age of 100 Myr, as derived from comprehensive synthetic cluster tests.
The Diverse Properties of Type Icn Supernovae Point to Multiple Progenitor Channels

We present a sample of Type Icn supernovae (SNe Icn), a newly discovered class of transients characterized by their interaction with H- and He-poor circumstellar material (CSM). This sample is the largest collection of SNe Icn to date and includes observations of two published objects (SN 2019hgp and SN 2021csp) and two objects not yet published in the literature (SN 2019jc and SN 2021ckj). The SNe Icn display a range of peak luminosities, rise times, and decline rates, as well as diverse late-time spectral features. To investigate their explosion and progenitor properties, we fit their bolometric light curves to a semianalytical model consisting of luminosity inputs from circumstellar interaction and radioactive decay of 56Ni. We infer low ejecta masses (≲2 M
⊙) and 56Ni masses (≲0.04 M
⊙) from the light curves, suggesting that normal stripped-envelope supernova (SESN) explosions within a dense CSM cannot be the underlying mechanism powering SNe Icn. Additionally, we find that an estimate of the star formation rate density at the location of SN 2019jc lies at the lower end of a distribution of SESNe, in conflict with a massive star progenitor of this object. Based on its estimated ejecta mass, 56Ni mass, and explosion site properties, we suggest a low-mass, ultra-stripped star as the progenitor of SN 2019jc. For other SNe Icn, we suggest that a Wolf–Rayet star progenitor may better explain their observed properties. This study demonstrates that multiple progenitor channels may produce SNe Icn and other interaction-powered transients.

Por que um feminismo negro
Authors: Lopes Vilma De Souza
Published: October 2022

O artigo pretende responder à pergunta “por que não um feminismo universal?”. Sojourner Truth, no século XIX, observou que enquanto os homens diziam que mulheres eram frágeis e precisavam de ajuda em tudo que fizessem, ela, mulher negra, era uma ex-escrava que arou terra, trabalhou duro e suportou o açoite. Isso a fazia menos mulher que as outras? Assim, são consultadas intelectuais negras como bell hooks¹, Angela Davis, Sueli Carneiro, Hazel Carby, Patricia Hill Collins e Djamila Ribeiro que, elucidando o conceito de interseccionalidade, buscam capturar os diversos eixos de subordinação à que as mulheres negras estão inseridas, explicando as diferenciações que devem ser levadas em consideração ao se tratar desse grupo específico. A leitura dos argumentos das autoras nos permite observar que a mulher negra está inserida em um patamar de violência que traz outras preocupações e que não fazem parte das pautas das mulheres brancas: a violência de gênero aliada à violência racial.

A partir dos estudos sobre o sujeito, formação discursiva e ideológica em Análise de Discurso de linha francesa, o presente artigo tem como objetivo discorrer acerca da constituição social e política do sujeito Lélia de Almeida e Lélia Gonzalez, que são uma mesma pessoa. Para a elaboração dessa pesquisa, foi necessária a reflexão sobre os fatos ocorridos e situações vivenciadas pelo sujeito, atentando-se às mudanças cruciais no assujeitamento deste. Para a base teórica do trabalho, foi utilizado Orlandi (2006, 2009, 2012, 2013) que discorre sobre o sujeito discursivo e, também, a biografia de Lélia Gonzalez escrita por Ratts e Rios (2010). O resultado desta pesquisa mostrou que o sujeito Lélia foi atravessado por formações discursivas e ideológicas distintas com o passar de sua vida que foram fundamentais para sua constituição enquanto sujeito.
Sentidos e significados da participação da mulher em cargos de alta gestão: em uma instituição financeira
Authors: Ferrazza Maria Clarice De Moraes
Published: October 2022

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a relação sentidos e significados daparticipação da mulher em cargos de alta gestão em uma instituição financeira. A metodologia empregada foi a qualitativa com base interpretativista. A técnica de colet a de dados ocorreu a partir de narrativas de oito mulheres que ocupam altos cargos de gestão em uma Instituição financeira na cidade de Curi tiba PR. A partir da análise individual das gestoras foram identificados quatro núcleos (comuns) de significação a saber: mulher no cargo de gestão: mãe esposa e cuidados da casa; preconceito de gênero; capacitação;  e maternidade. Os resultados obtidos con firmam que as mulheres sentem se satisfeitas comsua posição e cargo conquistado na instituição em que atuam. São pessoas que desejam fazer a diferença no mundo corporativo e entendem que podem construir coletivamente novas significações através de suas pe rcepções individuais. Entretanto é incontestável que embora os hábitos se alterem, ainda existem preconceitos de gênero.
Le travail des chiens, entre la loi et la nécessité (France, XIX e siècle)
Authors: Jarrige François
Published: October 2022

Le travail des chiens s’étend au xix e  siècle, de nombreux animaux tirent des charges ou produisent de la force au moyen de roues. Ces activités provoquent des débats sur la légitimité du travail des chiens qui sont de plus en plus dotés d’un statut à part. Les essais pour l’interdire ou le réglementer tardent néanmoins car ils se heurtent à la nécessité et aux besoins des acteurs les plus modestes. Alors qu’aucune loi nationale n’est adoptée, l’usage des chiens de traction fait l’objet d’un maquis complexe de règlements locaux, variables selon les pratiques et les rapports de force. C’est moins la loi qui le fait finalement disparaître que l’essor de la motorisation et de l’électrification au milieu du xx e  siècle.
Droits des animaux, devoirs des êtres humains : la législation relative à la protection animale en Italie
Authors: Guazzaloca Giulia
Published: October 2022

L’article examinera les développements de la législation italienne sur la protection des animaux, en les reliant à l’augmentation progressive de la sensibilisation du public à la souffrance animale et à la consolidation des mouvements et groupes de défense des animaux. À partir de la première loi anti-cruauté (1890), l’intense débat qui a accompagné la promulgation de la loi de 1913, la législation fasciste et les dispositions d’après-guerre seront analysés. Le propos se concentrera ensuite sur le tournant que le mouvement des droits des animaux, en Italie comme ailleurs, a connu à partir des années 1970-1980, culminant dans la naissance de nouveaux groupes de défense des animaux et anti-vivisection, et dans la riche législation des années 1990-2000.

L’encadrement juridique de l’équilibre budgétaire et de la dette publique en Italie
Authors: Natoli Francesco
Published: October 2022

Par la révision constitutionnelle de 2012, le constituant italien a procédé à la modification des articles 81, 97, 117 et 119 de la Constitution. Cette réforme avait pour objectif de procéder à une harmonisation des finances publiques des administrations en conformité avec les critères d’action fixés par l’Union européenne. À ce titre, l’inscription dans la norme fondamentale du principe d’équilibre budgétaire a représenté une véritable priorité politique pour le législateur constitutionnel italien, notamment en vue de limiter les conditions d’accès à l’endettement. Dix ans se sont écoulés depuis l’entrée en vigueur de cette révision et un premier bilan s’impose. Au regard du droit positif, il semble que l’équilibre des dépenses et des recettes ne saurait être considéré comme une finalité en soi.
La gratuité des services publics de l’État : vers une prise de conscience financière de la part de l’usager ?
Authors: Bahougne Louis
Published: October 2022

Figure emblématique de l’État et de finances publiques nationales dominées par l’impôt, le service public gratuit est également source d’importants biais dans la perception ainsi que la représentation des coûts par les usagers. Les sciences cognitives et comportementales fournissent un éclairage renouvelé en ce domaine et, partant, ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives pour concevoir des outils ouvrant la voie à une prise de conscience financière de la part de l’usager.
Les tactiques d’auto-organisation en temps d’autonomie prescrite dans un grand groupe industriel français
Authors: Landivar Diégo , Marmorat Sophie , Nivet Brigitte , Trouvé Philippe
Published: October 2022

Dans le cadre d’une recherche sur les modes de diffusion et de perception des nouvelles politiques organisationnelles et managériales basées sur l’autonomie et la responsabilisation développées par un grand groupe industriel français depuis les années 2010, nous avons identifié que, au-delà des nouvelles normes de comportement et d’action prescrites par un ensemble de dispositifs institutionnels ad hoc , certains collectifs de travail révèlent localement des capacités d’auto-organisation non planifiées. Ces formes d’action sociale dynamiques plus ou moins spontanées ont depuis longtemps été étudiées dans le contexte d’organisations fortement hiérarchisées et prescriptives. Mais quel est leur mode d’existence spécifique dans des organisations mettant en place de nouveaux espaces productifs d’initiative ? En nous inscrivant dans la théorie foucaldienne de la gouvernementalité, nous avons mis en œuvre une étude de cas dans un grand groupe industriel français afin de répondre à cette question de recherche. Nous avons ainsi pu identifier que les formes nouvelles d’auto-organisation déployées n’obéissent à leur tour, ni à une rationalité unique, ni à une aspiration de construire un contre-pouvoir. Leur mode d’existence apparaît plus localisé et dispersé que dans les formes traditionnelles d’organisation.
A Dialogue on Republicanism
Authors: Mantzavinos Chrysostomos
Published: October 2022

Les deux interlocuteurs, le philosophe Philip Pettit et un de ses étudiants, échangent leurs points de vue sur la philosophie politique et économique libérale au cours d’un déjeuner à Prospect House, le cercle des professeurs de l’université Princeton. Le dialogue commence par des clarifications sur la notion de liberté puis, en réponse aux objections de l’étudiant, Pettit présente, défend et illustre sa propre conception de la liberté comme non-domination plutôt que comme non-interférence. L’échange se poursuit dans la confrontation d’arguments qui concernent les différents types de cadres institutionnels qui garantissent la liberté et tous les autres aspects auxquelles les êtres humains attachent de la valeur à cet égard. Les interlocuteurs parviennent à un consensus préliminaire sur le fait que, pour étayer l’idéal républicain de liberté en tant que non-domination dans des réalités institutionnelles concrètes, deux éléments sont absolument nécessaires : l’établissement d’une constitution mixte – de sorte qu’aucun organe central unique agissant sans contrainte ne puisse exercer à la fois le pouvoir législatif et d’autres fonctions gouvernementales – ainsi qu’une vigilance permanente de la part des citoyens. La deuxième partie du dialogue traite d’un défi majeur à la philosophie politique républicaine qui est ainsi exprimé par l’étudiant : comment la question de la non-domination peut-elle être envisagée concernant le(s) marché(s), ce qui est souvent diagnostiqué comme une lacune importante dans la pensée républicaine ?

Authors: Brignon Béatrice , Gapin Marion , Pantaléon Nathalie
Published: October 2022

Contexte : le pilotage entrepreneurial des établissements sanitaires impose la mobilité soignante intersectorielle pour pallier un absentéisme inopiné. Cadre de référence : à partir de la clinique de l’activité, le but de cette étude était d’analyser le réel de l’activité des cadres de santé en début de carrière afin de comprendre comment, dans un milieu contraint, ils s’y prennent pour gérer cette mobilité lorsqu’elle est non choisie par le soignant remplaçant. Méthode : une méthode qualitative indirecte d’instruction au sosie a combiné deux temps successifs de coanalyse avec quatre cadres de santé débutants : un temps individuel avec le chercheur et un temps collectif avec les pairs ayant participé à l’étude. Résultats : la triangulation des données a fait ressortir trois axes : les valeurs en tension de ces cadres ; leurs compromis pour transformer la mobilité soignante imposée en mobilité volontaire ; le développement de leur pouvoir d’agir. Discussion : ces résultats soulèvent différents enjeux liés aux ressources psychologiques et sociales de la santé au travail de cadres de santé débutants ainsi qu’à l’organisation du travail.

Introduction : la population pédiatrique est particulièrement vulnérable aux escarres. Afin d’identifier les patients à risques, une évaluation structurée est recommandée. L’utilisation de l’échelle Braden QD permet d’intégrer les risques liés à l’immobilité et à la présence de dispositifs médicaux. Objectifs : réaliser une traduction en langue française (suisse francophone), un test de l’échelle Braden QD, évaluer sa cohérence interne, sa validité convergente, sa faisabilité et son utilité clinique. Méthode : lors de cinq enquêtes de prévalence, l’échelle Braden QD a été utilisée auprès de tous les enfants hospitalisés. Des tests psychométriques ont été mesurés. Un questionnaire de faisabilité et d’utilité clinique a été distribué aux enquêtrices. Résultats : l’échelle traduite a pu être testée auprès de 352 enfants. Les enquêtes ont montré que 5,1 % étaient à risques de développer une escarre et 85,8 % étaient porteurs de dispositifs médicaux. Un alpha de Cronbach à 0,710, avec une validité convergente élevée, de hauts scores de faisabilité et d’utilité clinique ont été retrouvés auprès des infirmières. Discussion et conclusion : cette étude suggère que la version suisse francophone de la Braden QD est faisable, fiable et valide. Les infirmières ont estimé qu’elle était facile à utiliser et utile pour leur pratique.

L’échec de la lutte contre la financiarisation des laboratoires de biologie médicale
Authors: Leymarie Antoine
Published: October 2022

Les laboratoires privés de biologie médicale (LBM) occupent une place clé dans le système de santé français : ils concourent à près de 70 % des diagnostics médicaux et ont réalisé près de 85 % des tests PCR durant la crise sanitaire. L’histoire récente de ce secteur fait état de transformations particulièrement intenses et fulgurantes : un vaste mouvement de concentration a fait drastiquement chuter le nombre de sociétés de laboratoires ; le secteur est aussi largement industrialisé par le développement de vastes plateaux techniques ; enfin, un processus de financiarisation, illustré par les acquisitions massives de laboratoires au profit d’acteurs du capital-investissement, est à l’œuvre depuis le début des années 2000. Cet article se concentre sur ce mouvement de financiarisation et plus particulièrement sur l’ensemble des dispositifs de lutte contre la financiarisation instauré par la loi de 2013, relative à la biologie médicale, afin de comprendre et d’analyser les raisons de leur échec. Pour ce faire, le contexte historique du secteur dans lequel s’est inscrite cette loi est décrit ; une analyse des principaux outils est réalisée et tente de montrer leurs limites ; enfin, l’article revient succinctement sur les principaux effets du phénomène de financiarisation dans le secteur, qui ont été particulièrement visibles lors de la crise sanitaire.
Des généralistes dans la première vague : les adaptations des pratiques en médecine générale face à la pandémie de Covid-19
Authors: Bloy Géraldine , Sarradon-Eck Aline
Published: October 2022

L’article examine la manière dont les généralistes ont réagi et se sont adaptés à la crise sanitaire lors de la première vague de la pandémie de Covid-19. Le cabinet de médecine générale, dans ce contexte exceptionnel, fait figure de laboratoire pour tracer des innovations ordinaires, « par le bas » et la « base » de la profession, plutôt que celles procédant des autorités. Sont successivement envisagés les principaux enjeux professionnels auxquels les généralistes ont été confrontés au printemps 2020 : maintenir une activité de soins primaires ; prendre la mesure de la gravité de la situation ; se repérer dans une avalanche d’informations ; repenser la biosécurité de l’activité en termes d’organisation matérielle et temporelle ; réviser certaines pratiques cliniques ; se situer, enfin, face à des questions d’« éthique pratique ». L’article souligne les éléments de créativité ou de continuité avec des traits culturels connus de la médecine générale libérale, et les ressources, prévisibles ou plus improbables, dans lesquelles un professionnalisme from below a pu ainsi puiser face aux épreuves imposées. En conserver la trace permet de nourrir la réflexion sur les façons d’associer la médecine générale dans la réponse aux épidémies.

Limited efficacy of rotavirus (RV) vaccines in children in developing countries and in animals remains a significant problem necessitating further search for additional approaches to control RV-associated gastroenteritis. During cell attachment and entry events, RV interacts with cell surface O-glycans including histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs). Besides modulation of the protective immunity against RV, several commensal and probiotic bacteria were shown to express HBGA-like substances suggesting that they may affect RV attachment and entry into the host cells. Moreover, some beneficial bacteria have been shown to possess the ability to bind host HBGAs via sugar specific proteins called lectins. However, limited research has been done to evaluate the effects of HBGA-expressing and/or HBGA-binding bacteria on RV infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of selected commensal and probiotic bacteria to bind different RV strains via HBGAs and to block RV infection of IPEC-J2 cells. Our data indicated that Gram-negative probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (E. coli Nissle 1917) and commensal Gram-positive (Streptococcus bovis and Bifidobacterium adolescentis) and Gram-negative (Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Clostridium clostridioforme and Escherichia coli G58 (E. coli G58) bacteria of swine origin expressed HBGAs which correlated with their ability to bind group A and C RVs. Additionally, Gram-positive E. coli 1917 and E. coli G58 demonstrated the ability to block RV attachment onto IPEC-J2 cells. Taken together, our results support the hypothesis that physical interactions between RVs and HBGA-expressing beneficial bacteria may limit RV replication.
Perceptual loss function for generating high-resolution climate data
Authors: Wang Yang , Karimi Hassan A.
Published: October 2022

When planning the development of future energy resources, electrical infrastructure, transportation networks, agriculture, and many other societally significant systems, policy makers require accurate and high-resolution data reflecting different climate scenarios. There is widely documented evidence that perceptual loss can be used to generate perceptually realistic results when mapping low-resolution inputs to high-resolution outputs, but its application is limited to images at present. In this paper, we study the perceptual loss when increasing the resolution of raw precipitation data by ×4 and ×8 under training modes of CNN and GAN. We examine the difference in the perceptual loss calculated by using different layers of feature maps and demonstrate how low- and mid-level feature maps can yield comparable results to pixel-wise loss. In particular, from both qualitative and quantitative points of view, Conv2_1 and Conv3_1 are the best compromises between obtaining detailed information and maintaining the overall error in our case. We propose a new approach to benefit from perceptual loss while considering the characteristics of climate data. We show that in comparison to calculating perceptual loss directly for the entire sample, our proposed approach can obtain detailed information of extreme events regions while reducing error.

In this article, we present the concepts of $ \mathbb{O} $-generalized $ \mathfrak{F} $-contraction of type-$ (1) $, type-$ (2) $ and prove several fixed point theorems for a self mapping in $ \mathfrak{b} $- metric-like space. The proved results generalize and extend some of the well known results in the literature. An example to support our result is presented. As an application of our results, we demonstrate the existence of a unique solution to an integral equation.
NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE PRESSURE FLUCTUATION OF FOUR WATERJETS IN V-TYPE SHIP
Authors: Dai Y , Wang J , Liu J
Published: October 2022

The noise and vibration induced by pressure fluctuation is one of the major issues that threatens the waterjet-propelled ship comfortability. The self-propulsion simulations of four waterjets which are installed at the V-type Vessel’s Stern are carried out by solving the unsteady RANS equations. The analysis on pressure fluctuation characteristic for non-cavitation conditions are presented on the inner surface of the waterjets 5 locations along the axial direction, which are duct outlet, impeller inlet and outlet sections, impeller tip, stator outlet. This paper also focuses on comparing the pressure fluctuation characteristic between the four waterjets which are installed at the V-type Vessel’s Stern and the flush type of intake waterjet. This research could be useful for structural design of the waterjet propulsion ship.
