Aqueous Corrosion of Deformed Steel Under Simulated Diluted Bitumen
Authors: Liang Hongxing , Schaller Rebecca Filardo , Asselin Edouard
Published: July 2019

The effect of predeformation on corrosion of ASTM A106B pipeline steel exposed to 1.7 mM sodium chloride droplets covered by simulated diluted bitumen was evaluated. The microstructures of ASTM A106B pipeline steel with and without predeformation were examined by electron backscatter diffraction and optical microscope. Corrosion of pipeline steel under the chloride droplet covered by simulated diluted bitumen for 5 min was studied with and without predeformation using scanning electron microscopy. Corrosion was initiated at the surface of ASTM A106B pipeline steel after 5 min of exposure. The predeformation increased the number of pits initiated at the steel surface and the number of partially dissolved inclusions. Scanning electron microscopy, profilometry, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were used to characterize the corrosion of the specimens with and without prior deformation after 24 h of exposure to an oil-covered droplet. The corrosion products coalesced and formed a small circular ring which deviated from the geometric center of the droplet. The diameters of the circular rings for the unbent and pre-bent specimens were 2.371±0.125 mm and 2.465±0.046 mm, respectively; the distances between the circular ring centers and droplet centers were 0.599±0.124 mm and 0.620±0.190 mm, respectively. The average corrosion penetration of the predeformed specimen was 1.18±0.09 times higher than that of the specimen without predeformation.
Desafios da gestão universitária contemporânea: presenteísmo e seus impactos no desenvolvimento discente
Authors: Paulo Marina Costa Cândido de , Costa Danilo de Melo , Andrade Rodrigo Mascarenhas Morato de
Published: July 2019

Presenteísmo é um conceito utilizado para representar o fato de um indivíduo estar presente fisicamente no seu ambiente de atuação, mas, devido a problemas intrínsecos, a sua concentração não estar voltada para a atividade exercida. Considerando que o fenômeno do presenteísmo tem atingido cada vez a sala de aula, sobretudo após o advento dos smartphones e redes sociais, o presente artigo tem como objetivo consolidar os aspectos presentes no ambiente universitário com a teoria e sugerir um instrumento para identificação e mensuração do presenteísmo na comunidade discente, de modo a auxiliar neste desafio da gestão universitária contemporânea. Para tanto, foi realizado um grupo de foco com nove participantes, entre docentes e discentes de uma instituição de ensino superior de grande porte de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Desse modo, observa-se que o presenteísmo é um problema que acomete a comunidade discente atualmente, e que são vários os fatores que contribuem para essa atitude presenteísta, o que permite concluir que o monitoramento dessa situação a partir do instrumento proposto poderá representar significativos ganhos de aprendizagem, rendimento e consequentemente melhores oportunidades para os futuros profissionais.

A educação a distância (EAD) online tem se tornado um fenômeno cada vez mais presente no âmbito universitário. A inserção desta modalidade de ensino tem o potencial de modificar as relações tradicionais nas universidades, pois traz novos atores, ferramentas de interação e relações de trabalho. Entre as temáticas relacionadas à educação a distância online, o processo de controle começa a ganhar relevância, mas ainda carece de maiores investigações. Dessa forma, foi realizado um estudo qualitativo básico em um bacharelado em administração, de uma instituição de ensino superior (IES) pública, com o objetivo de investigar como se dá o controle dos coordenadores sobre a atividade docente, a partir dos conceitos de sistemas levemente articulados e lógica da confiança, ambos ligados à teoria institucional. A pesquisa utilizou as seguintes técnicas de coleta de dados: entrevistas semiestruturadas, notas de campo, observação não participante do ambiente virtual de aprendizagem e análise documental. Os resultados indicam que a coordenação pode utilizar variados mecanismos de controle para monitorar as atividades docentes. Todavia, esses mecanismos geralmente são debilitados. Em parte, por causa disso, o conceito de sistemas levemente articulados mostra-se condizente com o contexto investigado. Já o conceito de lógica da confiança mostra-se mais fragilizado em suas dimensões.

Uncertainty evaluation in industrial pressure measurement
Authors: Schiering Nadine , Schnelle-Werner Olaf
Published: July 2019

Abstract. In the process and manufacturing industry, pressure is
one of the variables that most often need to be recorded and monitored.
Whether in standard applications or under special operating conditions, each
application requires pressure gauges that are perfect for their needs. In
Germany, pressure gauges are calibrated by accredited calibration
laboratories, according to guideline DKD-R 6-1 (DKD-R 6-1, 2014). This
calibration guideline establishes minimum requirements for the calibration
procedure and the measurement uncertainty calculation when calibrating
pressure gauges. In addition to the uncertainty contributions due to the
calibration, the uncertainty contributions due to the specific application,
like extreme temperatures, high pressure in containers, extreme height
differences, shocks, aggressive media or problematic physical product
properties, should be taken into account. This paper presents the approach
in which the measurement uncertainty can be calculated in industrial
pressure measurements. Furthermore, the individual uncertainty contributions
and their identification or origin are discussed. Finally, an example of a
measurement uncertainty budget is shown as an important tool in the
measurement uncertainty calculation.

Published: July 2019

Abstract. In this paper, we present a new source assessment of the La Palma collapse scenario previously described and studied in Abadie et al. (2012). Three scenarios (i.e., slide volumes of 20, 40 and 80 km3) are considered, from the initiation of the slide to the water waves generation, using THETIS, a 3D Navier–Stokes model. The slide is considered as a Newtonian fluid whose viscosity is adjusted to approximate a granular behavior. After 5 minutes of propagation with THETIS, the generated water wave is transferred into FUNWAVE-TVD for 15 minutes of Boussinesq model simulation. Then, four different depth-averaged codes are used to propagate the wave to the Guadeloupe area, Europe and French coasts. Finally, the wave impact in terms of run-up is evaluated through direct computations in specific areas or using theoretical formulas. Although the wave source appears reduced due to the rheology used compared to former works, the wave impact is still significant for the maximum slide volume considered on surrounding islands and coasts, as well as on remote most exposed coasts such as Guadeloupe. In Europe and in France, the wave impact is moderate (for specific areas in Spain and Portugal) to weak (Atlantic French coast). The comparison between the different wave models in overlapping computational regions shows an overall agreement in terms of first wave amplitude and time of arrival, but differences appear in the trailing waves.

Protolith-Related Thermal Controls on the Decoupling of Sn and W in Sn-W Metallogenic Provinces: Insights from the Nanling Region, China
Authors: Yuan Shunda , Williams-Jones Anthony E. , Romer Rolf L. , Zhao Panlao , Mao Jingwen
Published: July 2019

The Nanling region of South China hosts the largest W-Sn metallogenic province in the world, accounting for more than 54% of global tungsten resources as well as important resources of tin and rare metals. An important feature of this province, which is shared by a number of other W-Sn metallogenic provinces, is that W deposits occur separately from Sn and Sn-W deposits, with the latter concentrated in the western part of the region (especially along the deep, NE-trending Chenzhou-Linwu fault) and the W deposits to the east of them. All the deposits are associated with ilmenite series, peraluminous granites. However, the granites associated with the Sn and Sn-W deposits can be distinguished from the W granites by their higher bulk-rock εNd values and their higher zircon εHf values. Most importantly, the Sn and Sn-W granites are characterized by higher zircon saturation temperatures (800 ± 20°C) than the W granites (650°–750°C). The Sn and Sn-W granites also contain abundant mantle-derived mafic microgranular enclaves, whereas such enclaves are rare in the W granites. A model is proposed in which the protolith to the W granites released W to the melt as a result of the breakdown of muscovite. The temperature of melting, however, was too low for biotite to melt. In the west, particularly along the Chenzhou-Linwu fault (the location of the Sn and Sn-W deposits), higher temperatures enabled the breakdown of both muscovite and biotite and the consequent release of both Sn and W to form Sn and Sn-W granites. This model, which is based on differences in the protolith melting temperature and thus mobilization temperatures for Sn and W, is potentially applicable to any Sn-W metallogenic province in which the Sn and Sn-W deposits are spatially separated from the W deposits.
A Predictive Framework of Speed Camera Locations for Road Safety
Authors: Rhanizar Asmae , El Akkaoui Zineb
Published: July 2019

Road traffic crashes are a public health issue due to their terrible impact on individuals, communities, and countries. Studies affirmed that vehicle speed is a major contributor to crash likelihood and severity. At the same time, they identified Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) systems, namely speed cameras, as a highly effective measure to reduce excessive and inappropriate speed, and thus improving road safety. However, identifying optimum sites for fixed speed camera placement stays an open issue in the literature, although it is a key factor that guarantees the efficiency of such ASE systems. This paper describes a predictive framework of speed camera locations using a classification algorithm that can predict, for each section of a given road network, its pertinence as a speed camera location. First, we identify a set of features as predictors of the classification algorithm, that we have argued their goodness through correlation tests. Second, for training our algorithm, data from road controlled sections, corresponding to existing speed cameras, is exploited. Each section class reflects the contribution level of the ASE system (good, neutral, or bad) to road safety. Third, as a proofof-concept, the framework has been implemented and deployed on the Moroccan road network. The results showed that Random Forest classifier is the best performing model attaining an accuracy of 95% and a precision of 88%. Further, a tool was developed to visualize updated classification results on a Moroccan road network map to support authorities in their decision making process.
Developing and Measuring the Reliability and Validity of the Factors Influencing the Implementation of ICD-10-AM and Clinical Coding in Saudi Public Hospitals
Authors: Alharbi Musaed Ali , Tolchard Barry , Isouard Godfrey
Published: July 2019

BACKGROUND: The introduction of a mandatory health insurance system contributing towards the funding of national healthcare in Saudi Arabia necessitates the implementation of clinical coding and a unified health classification system, which has previously not been a feature of Saudi healthcare. As the Ministry of Health (MOH) moves to introduce ICD-10-AM, the Australian modification of the WHO ICD-10, in the Kingdom’s public hospitals, it is important to understand the factors that will influence its successful implementation.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to develop and evaluate the internal consistency reliability and validity of a questionnaire establishing the factors influencing the the implementation ICD-10-AM and clinical coding in Saudi public hospitals.

METHOD: The content validity method was initiated by sending the whole draft questionnaire to a panel of experts to indicate values for each item based on a scale of content validity created by the researchers and, subsequently, using the internal consistency reliability and factorial validity methods to estimate the internal reliability of clusters of items, which were assumed to measure the same factors, grouped in this study into three factorial categories, health information (clinical documentation, classification, and coding requirements), organization (the implementation preparation in individual organizations), and national (institutional support through the national hierarchical structure).

RESULTS: The content validity identified all items of the proposed questionnaire to be valid. Based on the content validity test, several items were removed as they did not meet the proposed model and the final questionnaire was created in accord with the pilot study result. The pilot study utilized Cronbach's α and factor analysis to examine the reliability and validity of Part 2 of the questionnaire and the findings indicated high internal consistency reliability and factorial validity.

Published: July 2019

BACKGROUND: Aim of current study was to examine the effects of school-based mind subtraction meditation program on smartphone addiction tendency and mental health of third grade students in a South Korean elementary school. MATERIALS & METHODS: A quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent comparison groups was used. An experimental group (n = 24), who participated in the school-based meditation program, and a control group (n = 22), who did not participate in the program, were measured pre-test, post-test, and also three months after the completion of this study on smartphone addiction tendency and mental health. RESULTS: The study result showed a significant decrease in smartphone addiction tendency and also significant improvements in mental health variables of depression, anxiety, aggression, and impulsivity for the experimental group. These improvements were shown to continue even after the study completion when measured post-intervention at three months. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that the mind subtraction meditation program had positive effects on smartphone addiction tendency and mental health variables. It can be suggested from this study to recommend mind subtraction meditation as one of feasible strategies to prevent smartphone addiction and to improve mental health status in elementary school children. Further, this study meaningfully supports positive beneficial evidence of meditation program utilization in schools.

Published: July 2019

Self-directed learning (SDL) has become important for medical students for developing their independent learning skills. This may help them in enhancing their sense of assertiveness and responsibility. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the competency based learning among the nurses as it is important to secure and promote the nursing services. The study has conducted a broad spectrum of research studies between the 10-year duration i.e., between the time-period of (2009–2018). The studies shedding light on details of the competence of nurses’ relation to SDL in Saudi Arabia were reviewed. The results have shown significant post-intervention enhancements with a pooled random-effects standardized mean difference of 0.81. The effect size of learning was higher as compared to the reaction with respect to the assessment level. It has also been shown that students with medium-competence simulation have higher effect size as compared to high-competence simulation and low-competence simulation.

Published: July 2019

This paper examined the factors influencing livelihoods diversification in Rungwe district. Specifically, the study assessed the livelihoods activities in the study area and determined the drivers of livelihoods diversification. The study was carried out in six villages of Rungwe District, Mbeya Region in which about 253 households were interviewed for the study. Data was collected through documentary review, household interviews, focused group discussions (FGDs), key informant interviews (KIIs), transect walks and field observation. Quantitative data were analysed using SPSS version 20 and Excel spreadsheet. While chi-square test was conducted to determine the associations between influencing factors and livelihoods activities, content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. The study results showed that there were various livelihoods activities in the study villages such as cash crop production, livestock keeping, trade and wage labour. Livelihoods diversification was influenced by factors like markets, climate, population, land shortages, institutions, policies, and livelihoods assets. However, agriculture has remained the main occupation of households in Rungwe District. Moreover, market appeared to be a strong factor in influencing livelihoods diversification in the area than any other factors. On that basis, this paper recommends that livelihoods activities which were environmentally friendly should be encouraged. Additionally, markets and transport services should be improved to provide equal opportunities for diversification among rural populations.
On BL-Algebras and its Interval Counterpart
Authors: Paiva Rui , Santiago Regivan , Bedregal Benjamín
Published: July 2019

Interval Fuzzy Logic and Interval-valued Fuzzy Sets have been widely investigated. Some Fuzzy Logics were algebraically modelled by Peter Hájek as BL-algebras. What is the algebraic counterpart for the interval setting? It is known from literature that there is a incompatibility between some algebraic structures and its interval counterpart. This paper shows that such incompatibility is also present in the level of BL-algebras. Here we show both: (1) the impossiblity of match imprecision and the correctness of the underlying BLimplication and (2) some facts about the intervalization of BL-algebras.
Target Search for Transcription Factors on DNA Chains
Authors: Sereno Luiz Otávio Rodrigues Alves , Acebal José Luiz
Published: July 2019

Among many structures in the cells of living beings, there are proteins called transcription factors (TF) that are responsible to inhibit or promote the transcription of the DNA. To accomplish their function, the transcription factors perform aleatory searches around the cytoplasm (for prokaryotic cells) and along the DNA chain as well for specific targets located in the DNA. Its movement fits into the class of anomalous Brownian. The efficiency in TFs search has implications in the cellular copy and in protection against viruses, hence the knowledge of the mechanism is of great interest. In the present work, we study the searching process of the TFs by simulating the anomalous Brownian motion through the cytoplasm and DNA chain by means of Levy flights through a lattice model and through a  free grid model. The final distribution of positions of the TF are obtained. The search efficiency is investigated in terms of the model parameters.
Assessing the Impact of Prophylactic Vaccines on HPV Prevalence
Authors: Azevedo F. , Esteva L. , Ferreira Claudia P.
Published: July 2019

A mathematical model considering female and male individuals is proposed to evaluate vaccination strategies applied to control of HPV transmission in human population. The basic reproductive number of the disease, $R_0$, is given by the geometric mean of the basic reproductive number of female and male populations. The model has a globally asymptotically stable disease-free equilibrium whenever $R_0 <1$. Furthermore, it has an unique endemic state when $R_0$ exceeds unity which is globally asymptotically stable. Numerical simulations were done to compare several different vaccination schedules. The results showed that the vaccination strategies that do not include vaccination of men can only control the disease if more than 90\% of women are vaccinated. The sensitivity analysis indicated that the relevant parameters to control HPV transmission, in order of importance, are vaccine efficacy times the fraction of population that is vaccinated, disease recovery-rate, and disease transmission rate. Therefore, health politics that promoting the increase of vaccine coverage, and screening for the disease in both population can improve disease control.

Directed Technical Change, Capital Intensity Increase and Energy Transition: Evidence from China
Authors: Wang Dong , Mugera Amin , White Ben
Published: July 2019

This paper analyses the causes of China’s energy transition since 1978 when the economic reform policy was launched. We aim to determine if increasing capital intensity in the Chinese economy is driving a shift in the energy mix towards modern energy sources, such as solar electricity. The empirical investigation is based on national level time series data from 1978 to 2015. The results of a Granger Causality test show that increasing capital intensity causes transition to modern energy in the long run, but not vice versa. The impulse-response analysis, based on the Johanson cointegration and vector error correction model (VECM), verifies that capital intensity determines energy transition in the long-run and the adjustment period to an exogenous shock from capital intensity is around five years. This is in line with China’s National Five-year Plans which often introduce major shifts in energy and industrial policy. We conclude China’s energy transition is driven by capital deepening and biased technical change towards capital-intensive modern energy in the long run. The rate of change is increased by exogenous investment shocks partly as a result of policy initiatives introduced by China’s Five Year Plans.
Strategic Behaviour in a Capacity Market? The New Irish Electricity Market Design
Authors: Teirilä Juha , Ritz Robert A.
Published: July 2019

The transition to a low-carbon power system requires growing the share of generation from (intermittent) renewables while ensuring security of supply. Policymakers and economists increasingly see a capacity mechanism as a way to deal with this challenge. Yet this raises new concerns about the exercise of market power by large players via the capacity auction. We present a new modelling approach that captures such strategic behaviour together with a set of ex ante empirical estimates for the new Irish electricity market design (I-SEM)—in which a single firm controls 44% of generation capacity (excluding wind). We find significant costs of strategic behaviour, even with new entry: In our baseline scenarios, procurement costs in the capacity auction are around 150-400 million EUR (or 40-100%) above the competitive least-cost solution. From a policy perspective, we also examine how market power can be measured and mitigated through auction design.
Storage Business Models: Lessons for Electricity from Cloud Data, Frozen Food and Natural Gas
Authors: Anaya Karim L. , Pollitt Michael G.
Published: July 2019

The aim of this paper is to evaluate different well-established non-electric storage markets (cloud data, frozen food and natural gas) in order to identify relevant lessons for electrical energy storage (EES) connected to electricity distribution networks. The case studies that have been evaluated are Google Drive (cloud storage), Oakland International (frozen food storage) and Centrica Storage (gas storage). A specific business model methodology has been selected for comparing the different business model components across these sectors. The methodology (following Johnson et al., 2008) refers to key interconnected components: customer value proposition, the revenue formula, key resources and key processes. The evaluation of the three case studies suggests that well-developed business models already exist in growing and mature storage markets. Regulation plays also an important role across the different storage markets and business model components, however its importance varies depending on the type of market. Innovation in storage business models is also observed (technological and contractual) which should also be facilitated in EES. Innovation helps move storage markets towards more sustainable business models.
An Estimation of Market-Based Carbon-Emission Prices Using Comparative Analogy: A Korean Case

Published: July 2019

In 2015, Korea became one of the pioneering countries to implement ETS nationwide in Asia. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the market-based prices of carbon credits in Korea by using a comparative analogy approach. In this paper, the comparative analogy is applied as follows: Based on the assumption that the factors affecting carbon prices would be same with the those of EU ETS which is the most matured market in the world, we attempt to estimate the market-based carbon prices of Korea with the estimation model obtained by using the data from EU ETS. After estimating the market-based price of carbon in Korea, we compare the estimated price to the actual observed prices and analyze the reasons why there existed the gap between both prices. Furthermore, we examine the properties of the estimated market-based price with respect to the changes of factors affecting the carbon price through sensitivity analysis

Resilience to violence by focusing on gender

Gender as a construct has been introduced into criminology half a century ago and has contributed to an understanding of the relation between gender and violence. Therefore, when improving resilience of professionals encountering violent behaviour, gender might be an important construct to take into account. We know from the literature that men and women do not experience victimization and perpetration in the same way but at the same time there are some blind spots with regard to male victimization and female perpetration. Increasing resilience against violence is only possible when we do not automatically use gender stereotyping in understanding and reducing violence.

When domestic violence and organized crime come together… The resilient professional in the borderland of law enforcement and social work

There is casuistry, where on the one hand it is the turn of the professionals from the investigation, enforcement and prosecution and on the other hand the turn of the social workers from the social domain. This is the case, for example, when domestic violence occurs in circles that are also involved in organized crime. In theory it is possible that the professionals involved work together, but it is also not impossible that they will get into each other’s waters because they have a different vision of the problem to be tackled and, of course, also have to fulfill other roles and tasks based on their positions. A professional must be able to handle complex situations of this kind.

‘Our work is quite an experience…’ Mental resilience within the work context of criminal investigation teams.

This study provides an in-depth analysis of the resilience of criminal investigators in the Netherlands. Observational studies within three criminal investigation teams and 45 interviews with investigators and team leaders revealed that confrontations with human suffering, decision-making, and dirty and physically demanding circumstances at the crime scene can sometimes be (very) challenging. However, investigators have relatively little difficulty with the strain resulting from the operational stressors to which they are exposed during investigations. They know how to apply different coping strategies to reduce stress. However, this does not apply to organisational stressors. The way in which their work is organised regularly causes tension, dissatisfaction and frustration. The research highlights that investigators suffer more from these organisational stressors than from the stressors that can be associated with criminal investigations. Attention should therefore be focused on strengthening their ‘internal resilience’, the article makes a number of recommendations to support this.
Funksjonell grammatikk som metaspråk i skulen – ei moglegheit for djupnelæring i arbeid med språk og tekst
Authors: Haugen Tor Arne
Published: July 2019

SamandragKorleis kan funksjonell grammatikk skape grunnlag for djupnelæring i norsk-faget? I norskfaget er det ein lang tradisjon for å skilje tydeleg mellom språket som system og språket i bruk, og ein gjennomgang av nyare lærebøker retta mot lærarstudentar viser at ein framleis i stor grad held fast på dette skiljet. Dei tilrådde grammatiske termane til bruk i skuleverket bygger på ein strukturalistisk og dels generativ grammatikktradisjon der tekstar blir sett på som uinteressante som studieobjekt. I læreplanen i norsk er det derimot nettopp tekstar som er det sentrale, og det er såleis lite samsvar mellom teoretisk tilnærming til det grammatiske systemet og vektlegginga av grammatikken som metaspråk for arbeid med tekst i læreplanen. Funksjonell grammatikkundervisning er ikkje det same som funksjonell grammatikkteori, og i artikkelen blir det argumentert for å legge ei funksjonell tilnærming til språksystemet til grunn for arbeidet med grammatikk i skulen. I funksjonell grammatikk ser ein språksystemet og tekstlege realiseringar av systemet som to sider av same sak, og ein vil såleis ha eit betre grunnlag for å sjå ulike delar av faget i samanheng. Med ei djupare forståing for tydinga til språklege kategoriar vil ein også skape større potensial for overføring av kunnskap mellom ulike teksttypar og mellom ulike språk.Nøkkelord: funksjonell grammatikk, metaspråk, djupnelæringFunctional grammar as metalanguage in school– an opportunity for deep learning when working with language and textAbstractHow can functional grammar create a foundation for deeper learning in Norwegian studies? In Norwegian schools, there is a long tradition for distinguishing clearly between the language system and language in use, and a review of newer textbooks for teacher students shows that this approach is still valid. The officially recommended grammatical terminology for use in schools is based on a structuralist and partly generative grammar tradition in which texts are seen as uninteresting as objects of study. In the curriculum, on the other hand, texts are the most central objects of study, which means that there is little harmony between the theoretical approach to the grammatical system and the emphasis on grammar as metalanguage for work with texts in the curriculum. Functional grammar teaching is not the same as functional grammar theory, and in the article it is argued for a functional approach to the language system as a basis for the teaching of grammar in schools. In functional grammar, the language system and textual realisations of the system are two sides of the same coin, and it therefore provides a good basis for seeing connections between different subject areas. With a deeper understanding of the meaning of language categories, one will also create greater potential for transferring knowledge between different text types and between different languages.Keywords: functional grammar, metalanguage, deep learning
Inferring Age at Death for Japanese and Thai Skeletal Samples under a Bayesian Framework of Analysis: A Test of Priors and Their Effects on Estimation
Authors: Kim Jieun , Algee-Hewitt Bridget F. B. , Konigsberg Lyle W.
Published: July 2019

A critical step in age-at-death estimation is to identify the age-at-death distribution to which the unknown skeletal remains most likely belong. Age estimation based on a frequentist approach assumes that the age distribution of the target population is same as that of the reference sample. In a Bayesian framework, researchers have greater flexibility, with the freedom to specify mortality information via a prior distribution and integrate it with osteological data to produce more accurate age estimates. The selection of an optimal prior remains challenging, as forensic anthropologists analyze unidentified individuals often originating from unknown populations. Understanding the effects of the prior choice on the final age produced for various populations is essential to the interpretation of these estimates.In this article we investigate the effects of three different priors on age estimates using scores of three traditional methods collected on Asian skeletal samples representing peoples from Japan and Thailand. We test a uniform prior, which assumes the equal chance of death regardless of age, as well as various informative priors, derived from a Japanese mortality database and skeletal collections. We combine each of the priors with the parameters of the cumulative probit regression model to obtain age estimates. The results of our analyses show that the informative prior outperforms when it is carefully chosen to reflect the geographic and temporal origins of the target population. While the uniform prior produces the least-biasedage estimates, one should be cautious, as it can generate unrealistically old and inaccurate ages.
Moral Character and Exemplification in Professional, Public, and Political Life
Authors: Carr David ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2019

While qualities of good character are of great significance and value in human social and professional affairs—and conduct which at least conforms to such qualities is invariably required for public service employment—they cannot be a requirement of the private lives of citizens in free societies. That said, there seems more of a case for the personal possession of such qualities in the case of those human professions and services for which moral exemplification to others may be considered an inherent part of the professional role. After some consideration of arguments for and against such moral character exemplification in relation to such professional roles as religious ministry and teaching, this paper proceeds to make some case for politics as professional role of this exemplificatory kind.
Maturité du lean manufacturing et degré d’alignement du système de contrôle de gestion : le cas des entreprises industrielles françaises
Authors: Chanegrih Tarek , Creusier Jordane
Published: July 2019

L’article cherche à comprendre l’effet de la maturité (ancienneté et intensité de mise en place) du lean manufacturing sur le degré d’alignement des systèmes de contrôle de gestion. Un échantillon de 171 entreprises industrielles françaises ayant formellement mis en place le lean manufacturing a été constitué. Les résultats montrent que seules les entreprises françaises les plus matures arrivent à un alignement total. Cet alignement, quand il s’obtient, est à deux étages. Une première étape concerne l’alignement des systèmes de contrôle destinés au niveau opérationnel : l’habilitation des salariés et la disponibilité de l’information sous forme visuelle. Une seconde étape se traduit par l’alignement des systèmes de contrôle de niveau hiérarchique supérieur : la chaîne de valeur des coûts, la simplification du système de reporting et du suivi des stocks. Toutefois, l’effet de la dimension temporelle peut être atténué par l’intensité de mise en place du lean manufacturing.

Nous analysons dans cet article l’influence des responsabilités familiales sur l’intention de croissance des entrepreneurs naissants. A l’instar de Jennings et McDougald (2007) et Davis et Shaver (2012), nous accordons une attention particulière aux statuts parental et marital pour étudier l’intention de croissance. Dans la perspective de l’enracinement familial (Aldrich et Cliff, 2003) et des théories du rôle social (Eagly, 1987) et du soutien conjugal (Kanter, 1977; Nikina et al, 2015), notre recherche enrichit la littérature sur le genre et l’intention de croissance. Nous distinguons les femmes selon leur situation parentale et maritale dépassant ainsi la dichotomie homme/femme (de Bruin et al., 2007).
À quel réseau appartenir pour améliorer sa performance ?

Les relations inter-organisationnelles connaissent une transition dans leurs formes, passant de simples relations d’alliances dyadiques à des relations réticulaires de plus en plus complexes. Cet article vise à appréhender les performances des firmes enchâssées dans des structures de réseaux en explorant les caractéristiques structurelles susceptibles d’expliquer l’effet de telles configurations sur les performances des firmes. Portant sur un échantillon de 1132 observations formées de 1112 alliances, notre étude longitudinale (2000 et 2015) concerne 47 réseaux formés par 87 entreprises appartenant à différents secteurs. L’analyse a révélé que contrairement à la taille du réseau, sa nature et la position en son sein semblent être les caractéristiques structurelles qui constituent une importante source de performance pour les firmes membres.
Être (bien) informé, c’est être libre !

À l’ère des fake news, ou infausses, les bibliothécaires ont un rôle crucial à jouer dans la reconnaissance des sources fiables d’information. Une association internationale a d’ailleurs lancé une campagne mondiale visant à contrer les effets de la désinformation. Avec ses dizaines de milliers de contributeurs d’un bout à l’autre de la planète, en veille 24 heures par jour et 365 jours par an, l’encyclopédie en ligne Wikipédia apparaît porteuse d’espoir. Mais il importe avant tout de valoriser dans le public une culture de l’information, ou « littératie médiatique ».
De l’information à l’influence
Authors: Le Crosnier Hervé
Published: July 2019

Le numérique a changé la science. Il permet la diffusion généralisée et ouverte des travaux de recherche et encourage la construction de communs de la connaissance. Mais il a modifié également la conception de la recherche en accentuant la captation de données et de traces, souvent dans des conditions épistémologiques et déontologiques douteuses. En particulier, l’usage par l’industrie de l’influence des travaux appuyés sur les traces menées en psychologie, sociologie et marketing met en danger toute l’architecture sociale au profit de quelques plateformes géantes. Comment dégager un nouvel espace démocratique dans ce cadre ? En considérant que l’internet est plus qu’un outil, et constitue un écosystème dans lequel nous sommes plongés, et donc dans lequel l’ensemble des affrontements ou coopérations qui font l’histoire humaine se retrouvent et s’appuient sur de nouvelles formes de régulation.
La transition énergétique à travers le prisme des espaces de vie
Authors: Cherqui Adeline , Bombenger Pierre-Henri
Published: July 2019

Le développement des projets de parcs éoliens en Suisse fait l’objet de nombreux conflits d’implantation territoriale. L’hypothèse explorée dans cet article est celle de la capacité de la notion de transition énergétique à construire une médiation entre les représentations sociales antagonistes s’exprimant autour de l’exploitation énergétique d’une ressource endogène qu’est le vent. En interrogeant les processus de recadrage des représentations sociales au sein de deux projets éoliens vaudois, l’analyse met en évidence les mécanismes cognitifs mobilisés par les différentes parties impliquées. Les résultats montrent les effets des changements d’échelle sur les évolutions du contenu substantiel de la notion de transition énergétique. Expression polysémique, elle peut être ainsi investie de représentations sociales, territoriales et institutionnelles plurielles, remarquablement labiles, au gré des usages stratégiques évolutifs dont elle fait l’objet. Ainsi, les cadres cognitifs des partisans du turbinage se confrontent à ceux de leurs opposants locaux tant dans leur interprétation des impacts anticipés des projets (financiers, paysagers, etc.) que dans la priorisation des enjeux territoriaux liés à la (non) réalisation du projet. L’immixtion en cours de projets des ONG environnementales nationales dans les débats engendre en particulier un recadrage cognitif majeur tant pour les opposants locaux que pour les promoteurs éoliens. En effet, elle soumet le processus de territorialisation des énergies renouvelables au respect des exigences de protection de la biodiversité et des paysages, véhiculées par la transition environnementale mondiale.
Les enjeux démocratiques de la transition énergétique territoriale : enquête sur la coopérative énergétique citoyenne de Iéna
Authors: Blanchet Thomas , Herzberg Carsten
Published: July 2019

Depuis quelques années, les coopératives énergétiques citoyennes se sont positionnées comme des actrices majeures de la transition énergétique allemande. En prenant comme point de départ les recherches existantes sur la « démocratie énergétique », nous nous interrogeons dans cet article sur les fondements et les impacts démocratiques de projets participatifs dans le domaine de l’énergie. Pour cela, nous nous appuierons sur les résultats d’une enquête qualitative effectuée au sein de la ville de Iéna (Thuringe, Allemagne), où une coopérative énergétique citoyenne s’est créée en 2011 et a acheté l’année suivante 2 % des actions de l’entreprise municipale d’énergie. À l’aide d’entretiens approfondis, d’une étude de documents et d’observations, nous examinons le travail de légitimation politique nécessaire à la mise en place et au maintien d’un tel projet, ainsi que son impact sur les politiques énergétiques locales. D’une manière générale, la coopérative énergétique a contribué à renforcer la participation citoyenne dans les débats locaux sur l’énergie. Cependant, le cas de Iéna est également révélateur de tensions entre le but initial des fondateurs de la coopérative (faire avancer une transition énergétique inclusive et participative à l’échelle locale) et les intérêts, notamment financiers, de ses membres. Ces tensions contribuent à mettre en danger la légitimité politique de la coopérative comme moteur d’une transition énergétique démocratique.
