Contribution de la sociologie de la traduction à la compréhension des difficultés d’intégration du client au sein du processus de co-innovation
Authors: Mbongui-Kialo Sylvain
Published: November 2019

S’il semble justifié que les managers font appel à la créativité du client dans leurs propres processus d’innovation, il n’en reste pas moins que les questions liées aux difficultés d’intégration des clients demeurent sans réponses. Les recherches antérieures se limitent, la plupart du temps, à l’analyse des motivations qui les poussent à participer au processus de co-innovation. Notre article envisage donc de se pencher sur cette question afin d’analyser les difficultés d’intégration du client et identifier les leviers sur lesquels les entreprises pourront agir pour faciliter son intégration au sein du processus d’innovation.
Les usages organisationnels des espaces géographiques
Authors: Mandard Matthieu
Published: November 2019

Le rôle des espaces géographiques dans les activités des organisations est un sujet peu examiné dans la littérature. L’objectif de cet article est de pallier ce problème en montrant que les usages organisationnels des espaces géographiques sont en nombre limité – d’ordre écologique, économique, esthétique ou symbolique – et que chacun présente des caractéristiques spécifiques. Il est aussi de souligner le fait que ces usages ne s’imposent pas d’eux-mêmes : ils sont le produit de conflits d’intérêts. Cet article offre ainsi une synthèse d’un sujet d’actualité qui emporte une série d’implications pratiques et des pistes de recherche à venir.
Impact des éléments de service sur la satisfaction des apprenants en formation continue : cas d’un projet d’introduction du « blended learning »

Huit éléments sont identifiés pour la caractérisation des services du blended learning en formation continue. Leur évaluation est basée sur une variante du modèle de confirmation des attentes où la qualité perçue a un impact direct sur la satisfaction. Le modèle tétraclasse introduit par Llosa est ensuite retenu pour l’analyse de l’impact de ces éléments de service sur la satisfaction des apprenants. Une étude de cas sur une entreprise camerounaise est présentée.
Au cœur des risques psychosociaux : facteurs organisationnels déterminants du Burnout des managers
Authors: Picart Ludovic , Jaussaud Jacques , Amann Bruno
Published: November 2019

Les cas de Burnout, ou épuisement professionnel, se multiplient. Il est urgent d’en analyser les causes afin de mener une prévention efficace. Ces causes sont souvent vues comme individuelles. Notre recherche s’efforce au contraire, comme le préconisent certains chercheurs, de mettre en évidence les facteurs liés à l’organisation du travail. L’étude qualitative approfondie d’un cas réel nous permet de proposer un modèle qui met en évidence notamment le rôle du N+1.
L’évaluation de la performance économique des entreprises viticoles en présence de facteurs environnementaux
Authors: Jaegler Anicia , Bouzdine Chameeva Tatiana , Delhomme Bernard
Published: November 2019

L’article propose de mesurer la performance des vignobles en tenant compte du facteur environnemental. Les données financières de 38 entreprises vitivinicoles bordelaises ont été analysées avec la méthode DEA. Les calculs de l’empreinte carbone utilisent la consommation des pesticides, engrais et carburants. Les premiers résultats montrent que 42% des entreprises étudiées amélioreraient leur performance au regard de l’utilisation de la main-d’œuvre, des investissements ou de l’empreinte carbone. Un autre résultat intéressant révèle que ce sont les carburants qui constituent un contributeur majeur aux émissions de CO 2 à plus de 70%, à l’inverse des pesticides à moins de 30%.

Published: November 2019

Osteoarticular infections (OAIs) in the setting of infective endocarditis (IE) are uncommon. Although morbidity and mortality have been widely studied, details of the characteristics of patients with concurrent IE and OAI are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the (1) incidence, (2) mortality, (3) clinical features, and (4) microbiological profiles of OAIs in the setting of IE. A retrospective review was conducted of 1280 IE cases at a large academic institution between 2009 and 2015. Patients were categorized according to the following OAI types: spondylodiskitis, large joint septic arthritis, other site infections, or multiple affected joints. Inpatient mortality rates, clinical findings, and microbiological characteristics were compared between OAI types. Overall, the incidence of OAI among IE patients was 6.8% (n=87). The in-hospital mortality rate was 9.2% (n=8) and was not significantly associated with OAI type (
P
=.801). Eighteen patients had multiple affected joints resulting in a total of 114 infected sites. Of these, 39% (n=44) were spondylodiskitis, 29% (n=33) were large joint septic arthritis, and 32% (n=37) were infections of smaller joints. Back pain was most common among patients with spondylodiskitis (
P
<.001), whereas fever and general fatigue were most common with septic arthritis (
P
<.001). Of the available bone/ joint cultures, 69% were positive. Overall,
Staphylococcus aureus
was the most common IE pathogen in patients with both IE and OAI (63%). Clinicians should maintain a high suspicion for OAI in patients with IE caused by
Staphylococcus aureus
, particularly spondylodiskitis among those presenting with back pain. [

Biomechanical Effects of Fiber Patch Augmentation on Rotator Cuff Repairs
Authors: Mehta Vishal Mahul , Mandala Cassie L. , Shriver Ryan J. , Benson Melanie
Published: November 2019

Rotator cuff repairs are a common orthopedic procedure that have a relatively high failure rate when tendon quality is poor. New biotechnology exists that can make tendons with poor quality more amenable to repair. This study examined the biomechanical effects of augmenting a rotator cuff repair with an absorbable fiber patch. Six human cadaveric supraspinatus tendons were prepared into 1-cm wide strips and then repaired to the rotator cuff footprint using a titanium anchor and a single mattress suture. Each shoulder underwent repair with and without a fiber patch. The specimens were subjected to cyclic loading (100 cycles) and load-to-failure (LTF) testing. Gap formation after 100 cycles was measured along with LTF in surviving specimens. Gap formation after 100 cycles was 1.07 mm in the suture-only group and 0.50 mm in the fiber patch-augmented group (
P
=.002). Load-to-failure was 54.26 N in the suture-only group and 109.53 N in the patch-augmented group (
P
<.001). The use of a fiber patch to augment rotator cuff repair reduced gap formation and increased LTF. [

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of mitomycin C on haze after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).

METHODS: Twenty of 24 rabbits underwent bilateral 193-nm excimer laser PRK to correct -10.00 D of myopia; the remaining four rabbits were not operated (no PRK group). The right eyes of the 20 rabbits were treated with 0.02% mitomycin C during surgery (PRK+MMC group) and the left eyes did not receive 0.02% mitomycin C (PRK alone group). Clinical and histopathologic examinations were performed.

RESULTS: The most severe haze in the PRK alone group after PRK reached grade 3; the PRK+MMC group did not exceed grade 1 haze. Statistically significant differences were found between the PRK+MMC and PRK alone groups from week 2 to week 26 after treatment (P<.01). Epithelial thickening appeared for 26 weeks in both PRK groups; no statistically significant differences were found between the two PRK groups (P>.05). A marked reduction of keratocytes in the anterior stroma of the PRK+MMC group was observed. At week 1, 2, and 4 after PRK, keratocytes of the PRK+MMC group were only 3.1±2.6, 6.8±4.7, and 12.4±5.7 keratocytes x 10
p 4

, respectively, while those of the PRK alone group were 41.2±80, 42.3±7.8, and 40.0±3.3 keratocytes x 10
p 4
/µm
p 2
, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<.001).

CONCLUSION: A single intraoperative application of topical mitomycin C during PRK in rabbits reduced corneal haze by inhibiting the proliferation of keratocytes. [J Refract Surg 2001;17:342-349]

Črna jetra, bela pljuča (o izvoru in razširjenosti poimenovalnega modela)
Authors: Саенко [Mihail Saenko] Михаил
Published: November 2019

V prispevku je postavljena hipoteza, da se je model črni X 'jetra' in beli X 'pljuča' pojavil najprej v perzijščini, bil potem prevzet v turškem in azerbajdžanskem jeziku, od koder se je razširil na veliko ozemlje in zajel nekatere govore kavkaškega, balkanskega in karpatskega območja. V Evropi istočasno obstajajo areali, na katerih se je isti poimenovalni model pojavil brez stika z omenjenimi jeziki. Sem sodijo nekateri romanski in lužiški govori, kakor po vsej verjetnosti tudi slovaška in slovenska narečja.
Multi-word Lexical Units in General Monolingual Explanatory Dictionaries of Slavic languages
Authors: Perdih Andrej , Ledinek Nina
Published: November 2019

In the article, the typology and the macro- and microstructure positioning of multi- word lexical units in general monolingual explanatory dictionaries of five Slavic languages (Slovenian, Croatian, Slovak, Polish and Russian) are analysed. The research showed that MLUs in these dictionaries are most commonly treated on the microstructural level (with the exception of the newest general monolingual explanatory dictionary of Polish language), where typologically comparable or similar MLUs are treated in various microstructural sections, most commonly among dictionary examples and in various types of MLU sections. The differences in the treatment of MLUs can arise also from the specifics of the medium in which a dictionary was first published. The dictionaries built primarily for web and other digital environments are based on structured machine readable databases, therefore the MLUs are regarded as equivalent to single-word lexical units in the sense that they require as systematic and comprehensive a dictionary description as single-word lexical units. Consequently, the same types of data are normally afforded to these units. At the same time, such a shift in the treatment of MLUs can also be attributed to the development of lexicology, lexicography and meta-lexicography. In the newest dictionaries, the treatment of MLUs is influenced also by the research on user perspective and the possibility to incorporate a dictionary into language portals, while the comprehensive treatment of MLUs is motivated also by the potential of the dictionary data for the linguistic research, and the development of language technologies and natural language processing. With regard to the findings about the typology and positioning of MLUs in these dictionaries, the article also focuses on the treatment of MLUs in eSSKJ: The Dictionary of the Slovenian Standard Language, 3rd edition, the new monolingual general explanatory dictionary of the Slovenian language. In this dictionary, MLUs are treated in a similar way to single-word lexical units and are given relative autonomy in the dictionary structure.
Prevajajoč iz bolgarščine – bolgarski deležijski polstavki v slovenskih književnih prevodih
Authors: Grošelj Robert
Published: November 2019

Namen prispevka je analizirati prevodne ustreznice bolgarskih deležijskih polstavkov v slovenskih prevodih petih bolgarskih književnih del. (1) V analiziranih delih se nahaja 477 deležijskih polstavkov z različnimi prislovnimi pomeni, kar je posledica njihove skladenjskopomenske neeksplicitnosti oz. ekstenzivnosti – gre za odvisne spremljajoče odvisne predikacijske zgradbe s splošnim prislovnim pomenom, ki ga natančneje opredeljuje šele razmerje med vsebinama nadredne in odvisne deležijske zgradbe. Med bolgarskimi deležijskimi polstavki prevladujejo časovni, načinovni, časovno-načinovni, vzročni, časovno-vzročni in posledični. (2) Najpogostejše prevodne ustreznice so t. i. oblikoslovno-skladenjske razširitve, ki so oblikoskladenjsko bolj eksplicitne od prevodnih enot, prim. stavčnopriredne (32,3 %), stavčnopodredne (24,1 %) in posebne stavčne zgradbe (8 %), ki vključujejo razdružene in spremenjene stavčne zgradbe (s pretvorbo polstavka v glavni stavek ali deležja v povedek glavnega stavka). Sledijo jim polstavčne zgradbe (19,5 %) in oblikovno-skladenjsko bolj reducirane besedne in besedozvezne ustreznice (11,9 %) ter izpusti (4,2 %). Med prevodnimi zgradbami prevladujejo vezalno povezani stavki (27,9 %), deležijski polstavki (18 %), časovni odvisniki (12,4 %), predložne zveze (10,3 %) in razdruženi samostojni stavki (6,7 %). (3) Skladenjskopomensko razmerje je najmanj eksplicitno izraženo v polstavčnih, vezalnoprirednih in posebnih stavčnih zgradbah (pribl. 55 %), s čimer se približujejo bolgarskim polstavkom; jasnejše skladenjskopomenske značilnosti zaznamujejo protivno, posledično in vzročno priredje, podredja ter besedne/besednozvezne ustreznice. Izhodiščna prislovnodoločilna oz. povedkovoprilastkovna skladenjska funkcija se ohranja v večini stavčnopodrednih,polstavčnih in besednih oz. besednozveznih ustreznic, medtem ko se stavčnopriredne in posebne stavčne zgradbe po skladenjski funkciji od izhodiščnih deležijskih polstavkov oddaljujejo. (4) Vsebinsko so izhodiščnim polstavkom najbližje vzročne večstavčne zgradbe, predmetni in povedkovoprilastkov odvisnik z vzročnim oz. načinovnim pomenom, pogojni, posledični, načinovni in dopustni odvisniki, načinovni prislovi, prislovne zveze s časovnim in načinovnim pomenom ter pridevniška zveza z lastnostnim pomenom; podobno velja za deležijske polstavke, ki ustrezajo bolgarskim deležijskim polstavkom s prislovnimi pomeni način, vzrok, čas, čas-način, posledica, čas-vzrok, čas-pogoj, namen-posledica in način-vzrok. Pomenski odmiki od izhodiščnih zgradb se pogosteje pojavljajo pri protivnem in posledičnem priredju, primerjalnih, namernih, časovnih in oziralnih odvisnikih, predložnih zvezah ter nedeležijskih polstavkih. Vezalno priredje in posebne stavčne zgradbe pa so pomensko ekstenzivni – ustrezajo namreč raznovrstnim izhodiščnim pomenom.
Conflict Management Models
Authors: Daisy Anjali
Published: November 2019

Conflict is endemic to all social life. It is an inevitable part of living because it is related to situations of scarce resources, division of functions, power relations, and role differentiation. Contradiction, which happens when objectives, intrigue, or estimations of different people or gatherings are contrary, and those individuals hindering others' endeavour for achieving objectives is called authoritative clash or organizational conflict. In this chapter, the authors want to brighten the meaning of conflict on the organisation and conflict management models. Initial models of conflict management were developed in 1970s by organizational and social psychologists. Here, the authors take two conflict management models to clarify the relations and how they influence the organizational execution. Thus, they found that conflict and conflict management can have significant impact on project success.
Leadership Role as a Deterrent Within International Conflict Management
Authors: Campbell Andrew H.
Published: November 2019

Over time, political and social theorists have struggled to understand the constructive pathways of preventing, mediating, and transitioning societies away from conflict toward sustainable peace. The thread linking leadership with transitional justice instruments is the ontological and epistemological understanding of how to direct judicial strategies toward deterring interstate and intrastate violent activities. In today's environment, the emerging study of transitional justice is recognized as a staple for nation-building, democratic reform, and peacebuilding. This chapter addresses leadership and its role in the transitional justice system. Moreover, this presentation provides a leadership model for transitional justice practitioners as a means to influence deterrence measures and as a potential resolution of today's global judicial challenges with long-term international security implications.
Activation of NLRX1 by NX-13 Alleviates Inflammatory Bowel Disease through Immunometabolic Mechanisms in CD4+ T Cells
Authors: Leber Andrew , Hontecillas Raquel , Zoccoli-Rodriguez Victoria , Bienert Catherine , Chauhan Jyoti , Bassaganya-Riera Josep
Published: November 2019

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex autoimmune disease with dysfunction in pattern-recognition responses, including within the NLR family. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine rich repeat containing X1 (NLRX1) is a unique NLR with regulatory and anti-inflammatory functions resulting in protection from IBD in mouse models. NX-13 is an orally active, gut-restricted novel drug candidate that selectively targets and activates the NLRX1 pathway locally in the gut. In vitro and in vivo efficacy of NLRX1 activation by NX-13 was examined. Oral treatment with NX-13 alleviates disease severity, colonic leukocytic infiltration, and cytokine markers of inflammation in three mouse models of IBD (dextran sulfate sodium, Mdr1a−/−, and CD45RBhi adoptive transfer). Treatment of naive CD4+ T cells with NX-13 in vitro decreases differentiation into Th1 and Th17 subsets with increased oxidative phosphorylation and decreased NF-κB activation and reactive oxygen species. With stimulation by PMA/ionomycin, TNF-α, or H2O2, PBMCs from ulcerative colitis patients treated with NX-13 had decreased NF-κB activity, TNF-α+ and IFN-γ+ CD4+ T cells and overall production of IL-6, MCP1, and IL-8. NX-13 activates NLRX1 to mediate a resistance to both inflammatory signaling and oxidative stress in mouse models and human primary cells from ulcerative colitis patients with effects on NF-κB activity and oxidative phosphorylation. NX-13 is a promising oral, gut-restricted NLRX1 agonist for treating IBD.
Rapid progression of carcinoma en cuirasse breast dermal metastases on 18F-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography
Authors: Young Colin Raymond , Harigopal Mallini , Pucar Darko
Published: November 2019

Cancer in the dermis of the breast has a poor prognosis. The breast dermis can become malignantly involved primarily in inflammatory breast cancer, through the direct extension of locally advanced breast cancer, or metastatically from an underlying breast mass or a distant primary malignancy (e.g., gastric adenocarcinoma). Breast dermal metastases have the shortest median survival among them. Breast dermal metastases are classified into eight clinicohistopathologic groups, one of which is carcinoma en cuirasse. We present a case of a 52-year-old female with a history of invasive ductal carcinoma, Stage IIIC (pT2N3a), treated with lumpectomy, axillary node dissection, and chemoradiation therapy that recurred as carcinoma en cuirasse breast dermal metastases. Through 18F-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) and clinical images, the case illustrates the rapid progression and devastating consequences of carcinoma en cuirasse breast dermal metastases over a 4-month period despite optimal therapy. Furthermore, the case emphasizes the sensitivity of 18F-FDG PET-CT to detect pathology in the breast dermis. Finally, the case highlights the crucial role that nuclear medicine physicians play in helping clinical colleagues differentiate between the various breast dermal malignant manifestations and benign mastitis, a common confounder in postradiation patients.

Abstract. The recent rise of temperatures across the globe, mainly attributed to the raising anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, is predicted to have an increased impact on ecosystems over the next century and beyond. One of the manifestations of this anthropogenic global warming will be the increased occurrence of prolonged droughts in the temperate climate zones, specifically in Northern America and Europe. Drought events that took place in Europe in 2003 and 2010 are known to have led to significant reduction of carbon dioxide sink, due to simultaneous occurrence of water stress limiting the photosynthetic activity and increase of respiration under higher temperatures. In the current study we present the evidence of an increased impact of droughts on the annual cycle of carbon dioxide over Central-Eastern Europe, based on long-term observations (1995–2018) of mixing ratios conducted at two continental sites: Kasprowy Wierch mountain station (KAS, Southern Poland) and Hegyhatsal tall tower (HUN, Hungary). Analyses of the smoothed, detrended annual cycles from both sites reveal a gradual reduction of annual amplitudes towards lower magnitudes, with simultaneous reductions of annual maxima (KAS: −0.13 ± 0.05 ppm/yr, HUN: −0.08 ± 0.12 ppm/yr) and increases of minima (KAS: 0.09 ± 0.04 ppm/yr, HUN: 0.08 ± 0.08 ppm/yr). By comparing the area of influence of both stations (established by analyses of footprints calculated with Hysplit Lagrangian model) to the regions of drought extent (established by analysing the temperature and soil moisture anomalies), we attribute the observed rising trend of annual minima to the increased frequency of large-scale drought events that reduce mean summer assimilation rates over Central-Eastern Europe. This conclusion is further corroborated by comparison to the biogenic fluxes calculated by the regional inversion system CarbonTracker-EU, albeit the statistical uncertainty is non-negligible (CO2 biogenic flux over Europe Transcomm region is equal to 0.03 ± 0.03 PgC/yr). On the other hand, reduction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions (−0.07 ± 0.02 PgC/yr over Europe) seem to at least partially explain the trend of reduced winter maxima of CO2 at the observation sites.

Abstract. The use of the noble gas radon (222Rn) as tracer for different research studies, for example observation-based estimation of greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes, has led to the need of high-quality 222Rn activity concentration observations with high spatial and temporal resolution. So far a robust metrology chain for these measurements is not yet available. A 3-month inter-comparison campaign of atmospheric 222Rn and 222Rn progeny monitors based on different measurement techniques was realized during the fall and winter of 2016-2017 to evaluate: i) calibration and correction factors between monitors necessary to harmonize the atmospheric radon observations; and ii) the dependence of each monitor’s response in relation to the sampling height, meteorological and atmospheric aerosol conditions. Results of this study have shown that: i) all monitors were able to reproduce the atmospheric radon variability on daily basis; ii) linear regression fits between the monitors exhibited slopes between 0.62 and 1.17 and offsets ranging between −0.85 Bq m−3 and −0.23 Bq m−3 when sampling 2 m above ground level (a.g.l.). Corresponding results at 100 m a.g.l. exhibited slopes of 0.94 and 1.03 with offsets of −0.13 Bq m−3 and 0.01 Bq m−3, respectively; iii) no influence of atmospheric temperature and relative humidity on monitor responses was observed for unsaturated conditions; and iv) changes of the ratio between radon progeny and radon monitor responses were observed under very high atmospheric humidity and under very low atmospheric aerosol concentrations. However, a more statistically robust evaluation of these last influences based on a longer dataset should be conducted to improve the harmonization of the data.

Abstract. Evaporation from hydrologically-closed lakes is one of the largest components of their lake water budget, however, its effects on seasonal lake level changes is less investigated due to lack of comprehensive observation of lake water budget. In this study, lake evaporation were determined through energy budget method at Paiku Co, a deep alpine lake in the central Himalayas, based on three years' in-situ observations of thermal structure and hydrometeorology (2015–2018). Results show that Paiku Co was thermally stratified between July and October and fully mixed between November and June. Between April and July when the lake gradually warmed, about 66.5 % of the net radiation was consumed to heat the lake water. Between October and January when the lake cooled, heat released from lake water was about 3 times larger than the net radiation. Changes in lake heat storage largely determined the seasonal pattern of lake evaporation. There was about a 5 month lag between the maximum lake evaporation and maximum net radiation due to the large heat capacity of lake water. Lake evaporation was estimated to be 975 ± 39 mm between May and December during the study period, with low values in spring and early summer, and high values in autumn and early winter. The seasonal pattern of lake evaporation at Paiku Co significantly affects lake level seasonality, that is, significant lake level decrease in post-monsoon season while slight in pre-monsoon. This study may have implications for the different amplitudes of seasonal lake level variations between deep and shallow lakes.

Abstract. We are now living in a mobile information era, which is fundamentally changing science and society. Location Based Services (LBS), which deliver information depending on the location of the (mobile) device and user, play a key role in this mobile information era. In recent years, lots of progress has been achieved in the research field of LBS, due to the increasingly maturity of the underpinning communication technologies and mobile devices. LBS have become more and more popular in not only citywide outdoor environments, but also shopping malls, museums, and many other indoor environments. They have been applied for emergency services, tourism services, intelligent transport services, social networking, gaming, assistive services, etc.Since its initiation by Georg Gartner from TU Wien (Austria) in 2002, the LBS conference series has become one of the most important scientific events decided to LBS. The conferences have been held in Vienna (2002, 2004, 2005), Hong Kong (2007), Salzburg (2008), Nottingham (2009), Guangzhou (2010), Vienna (2011), Munich (2012), Shanghai (2013), Vienna (2014), Augsburg (2015), Vienna (2016), and Zurich (2018). Starting from 2015, the LBS conferences have become the annual event of the Commission on Location-Based Services of the International Cartographic Association (ICA) (http://lbs.icaci.org/). In November 2019, the 15th LBS conference (LBS 2019) will be hosted by TU Wien in Vienna, Austria.This book contains a selection of peer-reviewed full papers submitted to LBS 2019. All the chapters have been accepted after a rigor double-blind reviewing process. The book provides a general picture of recent research activities related to the domain of LBS. Such activities emerged in the last years, especially concerning issues of outdoor/indoor positioning, smart environment, spatial modeling, personalization and context-awareness, cartographic communication, novel user interfaces, crowd sourcing, social media, mobility analytics, usability and privacy.We would like to thank all the authors for their excellent work and all referees for their critical and constructive reviews. We hope you enjoy reading these papers, and look forward to your participation in the future LBS conferences.
Sensafety: Crowdsourcing the Urban Sense of Safety
Authors: Rodriguez Garzon Sandro , Deva Bersant
Published: November 2019

Abstract. Today, community initiatives to improve the urban quality of life can be conducted in a more focused way because local authorities and urban planners are able to reveal urban hotspots through the investigation of location-annotated crime and accident data. However, urban areas, which according to well-recorded incident data are characterized by a high level of public safety, but which are generally perceived by citizens as unsafe, remain undiscovered and therefore untreated. This work presents Sensafety, a citizen-centric crowdsourcing approach that enables users by means of a mobile application to report their personal feeling of safety anytime and at any site. Sensafety’s goal is to reveal a comprehensive and complete picture of the perceived safety in urban environments in order to identify blind spots that have not been further investigated due to lack of data. To encourage citizens to participate and contribute, Sensafety’s mobile application offers different ways to explore and experience the collected data depending on the user’s location. This paper gives a detailed description of Sensafety’s integrated concept and outlines the major technical and non-technical findings.

Published: November 2019

Abstract. Integration and analysis of real-time and historic sensor data provides important insights into the operational status of buildings. There is a need for the integration of sensor data and digital representations of the built environment for furthering stakeholder engagement within the realms of Real Estate 4.0 and Facility Management (FM), especially in a spatial representation context. In this paper, we propose a general system architecture that integrates point cloud data and sensor data for visualization and analysis. We further present a prototypical web-based implementation of that architecture and demonstrate its application for the integration and visualization of sensor data from a typical office building, with the aim to communicate and analyze occupant comfort. The empirical results obtained from our prototypical implementation demonstrate the feasibility of our approach for the provisioning of light-weight software components for the service-oriented integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM), Building Automation Systems (BASs), Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMSs), and future Digital Twin (DT) platforms.
SmarterRoutes – Data-driven road complexity estimation for level-of-detail adaptation of navigation services
Authors: De Bock Jelle , Verstockt Steven
Published: November 2019

Abstract. SmarterRoutes aims to improve navigational services and make them more dynamic and personalised by data-driven and environmentally-aware road scene complexity estimation. SmarterRoutes divides complexity into two subtypes: perceived and descriptive complexity. In the SmarterRoutes architecture, the overall road scene complexity is indicated by combining and merging parameters from both types of complexity. Descriptive complexity is derived from geospatial data sources, traffic data and sensor analysis. The architecture is currently using OpenStreetMap (OSM) tag analysis, Meten-In-Vlaanderen (MIV) derived traffic info and the Alaro weather model of the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium (RMI) as descriptive complexity indicators. For the perceived complexity an image based complexity estimation mechanism is presented. This image based Densenet Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) uses Street View images as input and was pretrained on buildings with Bag-of-Words and Structure-from-motion features. The model calculates an image descriptor allowing comparison of images by calculation of the Euclidean distances between descriptors. SmarterRoutes extends this model by additional hand-labelled rankings of road scene images to predict visual road complexity. The reuse of an existing pretrained model with an additional ranking mechanism produces results corresponding with subjective assessments of end-users. Finally, the global complexity mechanism combines the aforementioned sub-mechanisms and produces a service which should facilitate user-centred context-aware navigation by intelligent data selection and/or omission based on SmarterRoutes’ complexity input.
Geographic-Aware Augmented Reality for VGI

Published: November 2019

Abstract. Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) has been a constantly growing field over the last decade, but the utilised technologies (i.e., mobile phones) are not able to exploit the full potential concerning effort and accuracy of registering geographic data. This paper introduces the GeoAR Glasses, a novel technology enabling the use of Geographic-Aware Augmented Reality for Mobile Geographic Information Systems (Mobile GIS) and Location-Based Services (LBS). The potentials of the GeoAR Glasses with respect to current mobile mapping applications is shown by means of an in-situ study (N=42) comparing two different modes of collecting VGI data. For the comparison we take into account the accuracy of the mapped data points and the time needed to complete the mapping. The results show that the GeoAR Glasses outperform the mobile application concerning both positional accuracy and completion time.
Multi-page Labeling of Small-screen Maps with a Graph-coloring Approach
Authors: Gedicke Sven , Niedermann Benjamin , Haunert Jan-Henrik
Published: November 2019

Abstract. Annotating small-screen maps with additional content such as labels for points of interest is a highly challenging problem that requires new algorithmic solutions. A common labeling approach is to select a maximum-size subset of all labels such that no two labels constitute a graphical conflict and to display only the selected labels in the map. A disadvantage of this approach is that a user often has to zoom in and out repeatedly to access all points of interest in a certain region. Since this can be very cumbersome, we suggest an alternative approach that allows the scale of the map to be kept fixed. Our approach is to distribute all labels on multiple pages through which the user can navigate, for example, by swiping the pages from right to left. We in particular optimize the assignment of the labels to pages such that no page contains two conflicting labels, more important labels appear on the first pages, and sparsely labeled pages are avoided. Algorithmically, we reduce this problem to a weighted and constrained graph coloring problem based on a graph representing conflicts between labels such that an optimal coloring of the graph corresponds to a multi-page labeling. We propose a simple greedy heuristic that is fast enough to be deployed in web-applications. We evaluate the quality of the obtained labelings by comparing them with optimal solutions, which we obtain by means of integer linear programming formulations. In our evaluation on real-world data we particularly show that the proposed heuristic achieves near-optimal solutions with respect to the chosen objective function and that it substantially improves the legibility of the labels in comparison to the simple strategy of assigning the labels to pages solely based on the labels’ weights.
Dynamic Location Referencing: Probability-Based Decision System
Authors: Hindenberger Patric , Schwieger Volker
Published: November 2019

Abstract. Location Referencing is a well-known methodology to transfer geoobjects from one digital map to another and typically used to share traffic information. Here, especially the dynamic methods play a major role, as they are developed to transfer Location References between different maps in such cases where no common databases and/or common structures are available. The key issue in dynamic Location Referencing is to find the correct geoobject in the target map which corresponds to the geoobject in the source map. So far, in nearly all methods a deterministic algorithm is implemented to perform this. Given the fact that geodata as well as the matching procedure for geodata has some uncertainty, it is obvious to research uncertainty-based algorithms. This paper presents a probability-based decision system by formulating the decision algorithm/functions and evaluating them. The evaluation is done with real traffic information and benchmarked against a deterministic decision system.

Authors: Marinas Leyre
Published: November 2019

Con las redes sociales han surgido nuevas formas de comunicación y aprendizaje hasta entonces desconocidas. Desde expresar emociones con emoticonos o emojis a recurrir a cuentas de fotos biográficas para conocer qué estaba sucediendo en un momento concreto de la historia. Las nuevas generaciones se presentan como las principales usuarias de estas redes, especialmente de Instagram, y, a pesar de que todavía es un campo en exploración, teóricos de la comunicación como Marshall McLuhan y Jay David Bolter ya se aproximaron décadas atrás a lo que estaba por llegar con las generaciones Y y Z. Aplicando parte de sus investigaciones veremos algunos usos que Instagram ofrece y las y los jóvenes integran.
Redes contra la represión en Logroño: El #NoCaso14N
Authors: Peña Ascacíbar Gonzalo
Published: November 2019

Tras una manifestación histórica en términos de participación, se produjeron en la jornada de huelga del 14 de noviembre de 2012 en Logroño varias cargas policiales que acabarán con dos heridos graves, tres personas con diferentes peticiones de penas de cárcel y ocho multas económicas a manifestantes. A raíz de esos hechos, se conformará meses después la plataforma Stop Represión La Rioja como grupo de denuncia y de apoyo a los encausados. Atendiendo a su articulación tecnopolítica en red, en este artículo analizaremos de manera cuantitativa y cualitativa desde el marco metodológico del framing las narrativas transmedia que Stop Represión utilizará para alterar el relato y reenmarcar el discurso respecto a la cobertura informativa y el encuadre de los medios regionales.
Derechos humanos y domicilio: ¿es posible tomar en consideración el lugar de residencia habitual de un ciudadano a efectos de determinación de la pena?
Authors: Coello de Portugal José María
Published: November 2019

El presente trabajo estudia la posibilidad de que los órganos jurisdiccionales nacionales definan el tipo de pena que se impone al sujeto activo de un delito atendiendo al criterio del domicilio o de la residencia habitual de la persona responsable de los hechos enjuiciados, así como la compatibilidad de este criterio con los derechos humanos. Todo ello atendiendo a una novedosa jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos que toma en consideración la institución del domicilio no solo a efectos de su especialísima protección jurídica como lugar de ejercicio de numerosos derechos fundamentales, sino también como posible factor de discriminación entre ciudadanos y de ruptura de la igualdad ante la ley de quienes han sido considerados por la jurisdicción como responsables de la comisión de un hecho penalmente relevante.

Does technology contribute to financial democratization? The collaborative economy and fintechs as catalysts for change
Authors: Rühl Alexander , Palomo Zurdo Ricardo
Published: November 2019

Este trabajo plantea que la irrupción en el ámbito de la actividad bancaria de nuevos actores como las denominadas compañías fintech, intensivas en el uso de tecnologías para la prestación de servicios financieros, muchas de ellas con soluciones disruptivas, están obligando a la banca tradicional a actualizar su modelo de negocio y a situar a los clientes verdaderamente en el centro de su actividad. La configuración de una nueva sociedad digital está cambiando los modelos de relación entre las empresas y los usuarios o consumidores. El desarrollo de la economía digital y de la economía colaborativa incide tanto en los procesos tecnológicos como en la forma de relación con los usuarios de los servicios financieros. Por ello, la experiencia de cliente resulta fundamental y en ello se han fundamentado las fintech y, también, comienzan a hacerlo las bigtech. Para analizar esta transformación digital de la banca se ha realizado un estudio con los principales 31 bancos comerciales europeos, tomando los datos correspondientes al período 2010-2017. Los resultados obtenidos, permiten apreciar, particularmente en los últimos años de la muestra, un progresivo impacto en la banca de la presión competitiva ejercida por las fintech, que se traduce en el inicio del replanteamiento de muchas áreas de actividad de la banca, para enfocarse más hacia el cliente e incorporar las tecnologías que han sabido aprovechar las fintech; todo lo cual está favoreciendo la democratización de los servicios financieros.
