Du désastre au développement : les enjeux de la reconstruction post-catastrophe
Authors: Moatty Annabelle , Gaillard Jean-Christophe , Vinet Freddy
Published: April 2017

Le présent article interroge les liens entre catastrophe et développement par le prisme des périodes post-catastrophe en s’appuyant sur de multiples exemples afin d’étayer les apports théoriques. La période de reconstruction est une phase critique pouvant accélérer ou entraver le développement d’une région affectée. La difficile conciliation entre les besoins à long terme et ceux à court terme, les problèmes de coordination entre échelles administratives et politiques et les inégalités spatiales et sociales sont autant de difficultés fréquemment rencontrées dans le processus de reconstruction. L’objectif est ici d’identifier les principes d’une reconstruction éthique (diminution des disparités socio-économiques) et préventive (réduction des risques). L’analyse des trajectoires de reconstruction à moyen et long terme permet de dégager des éléments de diagnostic sur les blocages et leviers d’action pour développer l’opportunité préventive des phases post-catastrophe. Pour ce faire, il est nécessaire d’assurer un décloisonnement des acteurs ainsi qu’une implication maximale des sinistrés dans le respect de leurs caractéristiques culturelles, ainsi qu’une prise en compte des contraintes environnementales (dont font partie les aléas naturels) et politico-économiques préexistantes.
Géographie de l’approvisionnement chinois en minerai de nickel : le Grand Nord québécois est-il un territoire prioritaire pour les entreprises chinoises ?
Authors: Têtu Pierre-Louis , Lasserre Frédéric
Published: April 2017

Poussée par une croissance économique rapide ces trente dernières années, la Chine est le premier consommateur mondial de minerai de nickel. La croissance économique chinoise et son affirmation politique sur la scène internationale, qui coïncide avec une période de débats et d’inquiétudes au Canada sur la souveraineté du pays dans le Nord, a contribué à construire, dans les médias canadiens, différentes représentations d’une Chine agressive et avide des ressources de la région. Ainsi, la question qui se pose est la suivante : quelle est la contribution du territoire du Grand Nord québécois dans les dynamiques globales d’approvisionnement des entreprises chinoises en minerai de nickel ? Nos résultats montrent bien que le Grand Nord québécois n’est pas un partenaire majeur d’approvisionnement dans le secteur du nickel pour les entreprises chinoises, qui investissent principalement dans l’environnement eurasiatique régional de la Chine. Les distances maritimes et le temps de transit plus long à partir de ou vers le Grand Nord québécois à partir des ports chinois, les lacunes en matière d’infrastructures maritimes dans le Grand Nord québécois constituent autant de facteurs qui expliquent le peu d’intérêt des entreprises chinoises pour ce territoire.

Usages agricoles diversifiés du sol : le rôle des effets de voisinage
Authors: Guillain Rachel , Legras Sophie , Martin Elsa
Published: April 2017

La diversification des cultures agricoles est mise en avant comme le principal moyen d’atteindre les objectifs de réduction d’utilisation des pesticides fixés dans le cadre du plan Écophyto. Cet article analyse les déterminants de cet usage des sols agricoles afin de dégager des leviers potentiels de politique publique pour inciter à sa mise en œuvre. Nous portons une attention particulière aux effets de voisinage potentiels. Pour ce faire, nous proposons une analyse spatiale, à l’échelle du canton, des déterminants de la diversification des cultures à l’échelle du Bassin parisien élargi. Nous montrons qu’en plus des déterminants traditionnels pédoclimatiques, il existe un schéma spatial de la décision de diversifier les cultures. Classification JEL  : C21, Q15, Q55.
Hot Tub Cabin Rentals and Forest Tourism in Hocking County, Ohio
Authors: Munroe Darla K. , Gallemore Caleb , Van Berkel Derek
Published: April 2017

Nous étudions d’intéressantes variations dans les taux de location touristique du comté de Hocking (Ohio, États-Unis). L’industrie des chalets avec jacuzzi est née dans les années 1970 et s’est rapidement développée depuis 1990. Nous mettons en œuvre une régression hédonique sur une base de données de 503 chalets, appartenant à 143 entreprises, pour expliquer la variation dans les taux de location et dans les revenus générés. Cette analyse est complétée par une analyse exploratoire spatiale. Nous estimons l’impact relatif lié à la proximité d’aménités environnementales, d’infrastructures et de commerces. Les taux de locations sont corrélés aux différentes caractéristiques individuelles des chalets privés. Le revenu moyen est plus élevé lorsqu’il offre un meilleur accès. En revanche, la proximité des mines représente une désaménité significative qui est cependant compensée par une plus grande couverture forestière.
Coordonner la prise en charge complexe : construction d’un outil d’orientation des patients atteints de cancer vers l’infirmière de coordination
Authors: Froger Raphaël , Allenet Benoit , Guillem Pascale
Published: April 2017

Introduction : suite au plan cancer 2009-2013, l’expérimentation d’infirmiers de coordination en cancérologie (IDEC) a montré un impact positif sur la fluidification des parcours de soins. Le plan cancer 2014-2019 oriente leur mission vers les cas complexes. L’objectif de cette étude est la construction d’un outil facilitant le recrutement des patients susceptibles de connaître un parcours complexe. Méthode : deux phases ont constitué cette recherche. La première a collecté les éléments des dimensions pouvant prédire la complexité du parcours de soins, par focus group. La seconde a consisté en la réduction et sélection des items prioritaires et à estimer leur importance par la méthode Delphi. Résultats : à partir des 12 items retenus, deux sont reconnus comme marquant un risque important, sept corrélés probablement à un parcours complexe et trois sans lien avec la complexité du parcours. Discussion : par la suite, cet instrument est à valider par un test sur échantillon pour évaluer ses qualités psychométriques, métrologiques et sa faisabilité.

Published: April 2017

Contexte : dans un service de neurochirurgie, des infirmières ont sélectionné l’échelle Critical Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) pour évaluer la douleur des patients cérébrolésés. Quelques mois après l’implantation, les cadres infirmiers constataient une sous-utilisation de l’échelle. But : soutenir l’équipe de soins pour surmonter les écueils rencontrés lors de l’implantation de l’échelle CPOT. Méthode : le Modèle de Lescarbeau, Payette et St-Arnaud a été sélectionné. En plus d’une recherche documentaire, un questionnaire auto-administré et trois guides-entretien ont permis de recueillir la perspective des soignants. Résultats : les écueils rencontrés se situaient au niveau de la collaboration interprofessionnelle, de l’échelle CPOT et du processus initial d’implantation. L’amélioration de la collaboration interprofessionnelle et l’adaptation de l’échelle CPOT pour des patients cérébrolésés ont été les priorités d’actions retenues. Discussion : une méthodologie rigoureuse, la reconnaissance mutuelle des compétences cliniques et l’établissement d’une relation de confiance sont des conditions sine qua non de la réussite de tout changement de pratique clinique. Conclusion : le modèle utilisé est une méthodologie de choix pour l’intégration des données probantes et les préférences de tous les acteurs à chaque étape du processus, conduisant à des choix éclairés et à l’établissement de priorités d’action pour une implantation réussie du CPOT.

Authors: Vojniković Sead
Published: April 2017

The work presents the history of forest vegetation mapping in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Forest vegetation mapping in B&H is done from arrival of Austro-Hungarian monarchy from 1885 to present day. The most intensive forest vegetation mapping in B&H took place in 50‘s and 60‘s of the past century. Special significance in B&H forest vegetation mapping was given by: G. Beck, L. Adamović, I. Horvat, P. Fukarek, V. Stefanović, V. Beus... Since the end of XX century forest vegetation mapping was mainly done with the help of aerial photos and satellite images. Key words: history, mapping, forest vegetation, Bosnia and Herzegovina Članek opisuje zgodovino kartiranja gozdne vegetacije v Bosni in Hercegovini (BiH). Pričelo se je od prihoda Avstro-ogrsko monarhije od leta 1885 do danes, najbolj intenzivno je bilo v obdobju 1950 in 1970. Poseben pečat kartiranju so dali G. Beck, L. Adamović, I. Horvat, P. Fukarek, V. Stefanović in V. Beus. Od konca 20. stoletje naprej si pri kartiranju vegetacije pomagamo z letalskimi in satelitskimi posnetki. Ključne besede: zgodovina, kartiranje, gozdna vegetacija, Bosna in Hercegovina
Using Behavioral Economics to Understand Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation
Authors: Baggé Sarah
Published: April 2017

The Affordable Care Act provides advanced premium tax credits to millions of Americans to help with the cost of purchasing private health insurance on the new health insurance marketplaces. The amount of subsidy a family qualifies for is based on their projected income for the year ahead. However, since income is fairly unpredictable, some families end up qualifying for a larger tax credit when they do their taxes, while others end up with a smaller credit and must repay what they received throughout the year. In the first year of this reconciliation process, half of those who received advanced premium tax credits had to pay at least a part back. This outcome is consistent with recent literature in behavioral economics, which explores psychological, social, and cognitive influences on decision-making. This paper explores the reconciliation problem and possible approaches to reducing or eliminating it.
Evaluating the Impact of the Registered Provisional Immigrant Program: A Cost-Benefit Analysis
Authors: Cissé Odia Bintou
Published: April 2017

On June 27, 2013, the Senate passed the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (referred to as S.744). The bill addresses key elements of the immigration process through five sections. This analysis serves as an ex-ante Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) of the proposed Registered Provisional Immigrant (RPI) program under Section II of S.744, which would allow undocumented immigrants in the US to obtain legal status. The CBA looks at a 10-year timeframe from 2015 through 2025 and estimates the costs and benefits to four groups: undocumented immigrants, US taxpayers, employers of undocumented immigrants, and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) under a base case scenario, a distributional weight scenario, and a worst-case scenario. Given the positive net benefits observed under the three scenarios, significant evidence recommends the implementation of the RPI program.
Examining the influence of family physician supply on district health system performance in South Africa: An ecological analysis of key health indicators
Authors: Von Pressentin Klaus B. , Mash Bob J. , Esterhuizen Tonya M.
Published: April 2017

Background: The supply of appropriate health workers is a key building block in the World Health Organization’s model of effective health systems. Primary care teams are stronger if they contain doctors with postgraduate training in family medicine. The contribution of such family physicians to the performance of primary care systems has not been evaluated in the African context. Family physicians with postgraduate training entered the South African district health system (DHS) from 2011.Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of family physicians within the DHS of South Africa. The objectives were to evaluate the impact of an increase in family physician supply in each district (number per 10 000 population) on key health indicators.Setting: All 52 South African health districts were included as units of analysis.Methods: An ecological study evaluated the correlations between the supply of family physicians and routinely collected data on district performance for two time periods: 2010/2011 and 2014/2015.Results: Five years after the introduction of the new generation of family physicians, this study showed no demonstrable correlation between family physician supply and improved health indicators from the macro-perspective of the district.Conclusion: The lack of a measurable impact at the level of the district is most likely because of the very low supply of family physicians in the public sector. Studies which evaluate impact closer to the family physician’s circle of control may be better positioned to demonstrate a measurable impact in the short term.
Children as stakeholders in education: Does their voice matter?
Authors: Nthontho Maitumeleng
Published: April 2017

Children’s right to freely express their opinion in education is very rare, and it is critical for schools to realise it. Although at times they are consulted about their difficulties, children are seldom asked to participate in the development of programmes that affect their lives. The aim of this conceptual article is therefore twofold: (1) to explore the extent to which schools recognise children as rights holders and protect their right to freedom of expression in educational matters, and (2) to determine the implications of the previous findings in children’s right to freedom of expression in their education. Literature on children’s participation in education was reviewed. Legislations and policies on the right to freedom of expression were also analysed. The study revealed that regardless of their legitimate position in education and positive outcomes from engaging children as stakeholders in education, schools resist change. A significant finding of the study was that learners’ engagement in school affairs deepens democracy, and hence school improvement. Hart’s ‘Ladder of Participation’ on involvement of children in school matters is therefore recommended.
Subconscious responses to fear-appeal health warnings: An exploratory study of cigarette packaging
Authors: Boshoff Christo , Toerien Lucea
Published: April 2017

Background: Tobacco smoking has serious health and financial implications for both smokers and non-smokers. A wide range of measures have been used over many years to combat this scourge. One of these measures is social marketing communication campaigns. Whether these campaigns are effective has been the subject of some debate. Some of the questions that arise are: What kind of advertising appeals (for instance, informational versus emotional) should be used? Which elements should form part of such campaigns? Some argue that pictures are more effective. Others believe that text-based messages are more effective. Regardless of how these campaigns are structured, they have very little chance of success if they are unable at least to cause arousal (activation) among the target audience. Not only does emotional arousal increase engagement, enhance information-processing and render communication memorable, it also helps to increase the mental accessibility of related knowledge.Aim: In this exploratory study, the ability of fear-based pictures and text messages on cigarette packaging to create emotional arousal among consumers is explored.Methods: Galvanic skin response and eye-tracking methodologies were used.Results: The results indicate that both fear-based pictures and fear-based text messages activated arousal among consumers.Conclusion: The extent of arousal is influenced (at least to some extent) by both gender and whether or not the viewer is a smoker.

Linking energy efficiency legislation and the agricultural sector in South Africa
Authors: Lekunze Joseph N. , Lekunze Angwe R.
Published: April 2017

There are different ways of measuring energy efficiency. Although there is no generally agreed definition of the concept, it should, however, always be approached according to particular circumstances and contexts. As such, technological, operational, performance and equipment efficiencies should be taken into consideration. Generally, energy utilisation in most sectors of the South African economy is inefficient. This requires more energy needs to be generated in order to cater for losses. An increase in generation causes environmental problems at global, regional and local levels. A review of literature on energy efficiency was undertaken and a gap identified between legislation and efficiency in the agricultural sector. This article seeks to suggest ways of implementing an energy legislation in this sector in South Africa. Such implementation will address concerns in terms of harnessing, generating and utilising energy in different sectors in South Africa. Legislation is vital in reducing energy consumption in the agricultural sector. It also ensures efficient use of energy and the maintenance of current levels of production.
After Izimbizo, what next? A participatory development communication approach to analysing feedback by the Limpopo Provincial Government to its citizens
Authors: Baloyi Mahlatse L. , Lubinga Elizabeth N.
Published: April 2017

The new democracy in South Africa advocates for a community participatory approach in matters of governance using the Imbizo (plural, Izimbizo) among other channels. Existent studies on Imbizo indicate that the major motivation for organisation of such gatherings by governments appears to be interactive community mobilisation, rather than feedback to matters raised during such gatherings. However, if participatory development aided by communication is to be effective, then it is imperative that feedback is provided not only during a once-off interaction with citizens by government but also, and more importantly, as follow-up to grievances raised during Imbizo.Adoption of Imbizo as effective channels of communication necessitates a provision of quality feedback by government to service delivery concerns raised at the Imbizo.A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with participants from three local municipalities in Limpopo Province. Findings reveal that the Limpopo Provincial Government does not provide adequate feedback to service delivery matters raised by communities during Imbizo. The study is relevant to the scholarship of government communication in the context of public discourse, which attributes growing sporadic service delivery protests to poor or inadequate feedback from government.

The Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Utilitarianism
Authors: Crimmins James E.
Published: April 2017

The idea of utility as a value, goal or principle in political, moral and economic life has a long and rich history. Now available in paperback, The Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Utilitarianism captures the complex history and the multi-faceted character of utilitarianism, making it the first work of its kind to bring together all the various aspects of the tradition for comparative study.

With more than 200 entries on the authors and texts recognised as having built the tradition of utilitarian thinking, it covers issues and critics that have arisen at every stage. There are entries on Plato, Epicurus, and Confucius and progenitors of the theory like John Gay and David Hume, together with political economists, legal scholars, historians and commentators.

Cross-referenced throughout, each entry consists of an explanation of the topic, a bibliography of works and suggestions for further reading. Providing fresh juxtapositions of issues and arguments in utilitarian studies and written by a team of respected scholars, The Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Utilitarianism is an authoritative and valuable resource.
Race, Tea and Colonial Resettlement
Authors: McCabe Jane
Published: April 2017

By the early 20th century, the ideology of racial distance predominated in British India. This simultaneously threw a spotlight on the ‘Anglo-Indian problem’ and sent intimate relationships between British colonials and Indian women into the shadows of history. One Scottish missionary’s solution was to isolate and raise the mixed-race children of British tea planters in an institution in Kalimpong – in the foothills of the Himalayas – before permanently resettling them far from their maternal homeland as workers in New Zealand.

Historian Jane McCabe leads us through a compelling research journey that began with uncovering the story of her own grandmother, Lorna Peters, one of 130 adolescents resettled in New Zealand under the scheme between 1908 and 1938. Using records from the ‘Homes’ in Kalimpong and in-depth interviews with other descendants in New Zealand, she crafts a compelling, evocative, and unsentimental yet moving narrative –– one that not only brings an untold part of imperial history to light, but also transforms previously broken and hushed family histories into an extraordinary collective story.

This book attends to both the affective dimension of these traumatic familial disruptions, and to the larger economic and political drivers that saw government and missionary schemes breaking up Anglo-Indian families –– schemes that relied on future forgetting.
A novel 29 bp insertion/deletion (indel) variant of the LHX3 gene and its influence on growth traits in four sheep breeds of various fecundity

Published: April 2017

Abstract. Belonging to the same LIM homeobox (LHX) family, LHX3 and LHX4 are key transcription factors in animal growth and reproduction. Insertion/deletion (indel) is a relatively simple and effective DNA marker. Therefore, four sheep breeds of various fecundity were used to explore the novel indel variants within the sheep LHX3 and LHX4 gene, as well as to evaluate their effects on growth traits. Herein, only one novel 29 bp indel (NC_019460.2:g.3107494-3107522delGGCCTGGACTGTGATGGGCACCCTCCGGG) within the sheep LHX3 gene was found, and three genotypes were detected. Interestingly, the increasing trends of II (insertion/insertion) genotype frequency and I allelic frequency were the same as the growth of the fertility character. Genotypic frequency and allelic frequency distributions were significantly different between the high-fecundity breeds (HS, STHS and LFTS) and low-fecundity breed (TS) based on a χ2 test (P < 0.05). Association analyses showed that body length was significantly different in female TS and STHS and that chest width was significantly different for the female TS and male STHS (P < 0.05). These findings suggested that the 29 bp indel could extend the spectrum of genetic variations of the LHX3 gene in sheep and provide a valuable theoretical basis for the marker-assisted selection (MAS) in sheep breeding and genetics.

Abstract. Ozone within deep convective clouds is controlled by several factors involving photochemical reactions and transport. Gas-phase photochemical reactions, and heterogeneous surface chemical reactions involving ice, water particles, and aerosols inside the clouds all contribute to the distribution and net production and loss of ozone. Ozone in clouds is also dependent on convective transport that carries low troposphere/boundary layer ozone and ozone precursors upward into the clouds. Characterizing ozone in thick clouds is an important step for quantifying relationships of ozone with tropospheric H2O, OH production, and cloud microphysics/transport properties. Although measuring ozone in deep convective clouds from either aircraft or balloon ozonesondes is largely impossible due to extreme meteorological conditions associated with these clouds, it is possible to estimate ozone in thick clouds using backscattered solar UV radiation measured by satellite instruments. Our study combines Aura Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) satellite measurements to generate a new research product, monthly-mean ozone concentrations in deep convective clouds between 30° S to 30° N for October 2004–April 2016. These measurements reveal key features of cloud ozone including: persistent low ozone concentrations in the tropical Pacific of ~ 10 ppbv or less; concentrations of up to 60 pphv or greater over landmass regions of South America, southern Africa, Australia, and India/east Asia; connections with tropical ENSO events; and intra-seasonal/Madden-Julian Oscillation variability. Analysis of OMI aerosol measurements suggests a cause and effect relation between boundary layer pollution and elevated ozone inside thick clouds over land-mass regions including southern Africa and India/east Asia.
Evaporative fractionation of H218O in the polar ocean and the invisibility of large changes of ice volume and sea level in the Saalian δ18O proxy records
Authors: Johnson Robert  G.
Published: April 2017

Abstract. The oxygen isotope ratio, δ18O, as measured in skeletons of oceanic foraminifera, is a proxy for changes in world glacial ice volume and sea level and is of fundamental importance in the study of past climate change. However, in the Late Saalian glaciation the δ18O proxy reflects neither a large increase in glacial ice volume from 155 ka–142 ka nor the subsequent major deglaciation from 142 ka–136.5 ka in which sea level rose from about −140 m to +4 m at the end of the Drenthe sub stage. This deglaciation was caused by a large reduction in the ice sheet moisture supply due to storm path diversion associated with the loss of thermohaline circulation and the capping of the high latitude North Atlantic with melt water that passed through the Mediterranean Sea from the overflow of a giant ice-blocked Siberian lake. The δ18O proxy also fails to record the subsequent ice volume buildup of the Warthe substage in which sea level fell about 80 m. The explanation for the invisibility involves the fractionation and sequestration of large mounts of H218O in the effectively isolated and sea-ice-free polar ocean. The sequestration and subsequent release of polar water, enriched in H218O, distorted the fractionation record in the world ocean and destroyed the accuracy of the δ18O proxy. The proposed physical consequences of the ice-free polar ocean also include a sea-ice-free Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay and an oceanic circulation mode that drove the Drenthe substage glaciation to its maximum extent in Eurasia. The initial cause for the anomalous effects in the δ18O record was the known ice-flow blockage of all the Siberian rivers that discharge into the polar ocean west of the Lena River. Without adequate stratification by inflowing fresh river water, sea ice was unable to freeze on the deep polar ocean and the fractionation and the physical changes in the polar ocean that are proposed here followed.
Tuning without over-tuning: parametric uncertainty quantification for the NEMO ocean model
Authors: Williamson Daniel B. , Blaker Adam T. , Sinha Bablu
Published: April 2017

Abstract. In this paper we discuss climate model tuning and present an iterative automatic tuning method from the statistical science literature. The method, which we refer to here as iterative refocussing (though also known as history matching), avoids many of the common pitfalls of automatic tuning procedures that are based on optimisation of a cost function, principally the over-tuning of a climate model due to using only partial observations. This avoidance comes by seeking to rule out parameter choices that we are confident could not reproduce the observations, rather than seeking the model that is closest to them (a procedure that risks over-tuning). We comment on the state of climate model tuning and illustrate our approach through three waves of iterative refocussing of the NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) ORCA2 global ocean model run at 2° resolution. We show how at certain depths the anomalies of global mean temperature and salinity in a standard configuration of the model exceeds 10 standard deviations away from observations and show the extent to which this can be alleviated by iterative refocussing without compromising model performance spatially. We show how model improvements can be achieved by simultaneously perturbing multiple parameters, and illustrate the potential of using low-resolution ensembles to tune NEMO ORCA configurations at higher resolutions.
Inelastic compaction and permeability evolution in volcanic rock
Authors: Farquharson Jamie I. , Baud Patrick , Heap Michael J.
Published: April 2017

Abstract. Active volcanoes are mechanically dynamic environments, and edifice-forming material may often be subjected to significant amounts of stress and strain. It is understood that porous volcanic rock can compact inelastically under a wide range of in situ conditions. In this contribution, we explore the evolution of porosity and permeability – critical properties influencing the style and magnitude of volcanic activity – as a function of inelastic compaction of porous andesite under triaxial conditions. Progressive axial strain accumulation is associated with progressive porosity loss. The efficiency of compaction was found to be related to the effective confining pressure under which deformation occurred: at higher effective pressure, more porosity was lost for any given amount of axial strain. Permeability evolution is more complex, with small amounts of stress-induced compaction ( <  0.05, i.e. less than 5 % reduction in sample length) yielding an increase in permeability under all effective pressures tested, occasionally by almost 1 order of magnitude. This phenomenon is considered here to be the result of improved connectivity of formerly isolated porosity during triaxial loading. This effect is then overshadowed by a decrease in permeability with further inelastic strain accumulation, especially notable at high axial strains ( >  0.20) where samples may undergo a reduction in permeability by 2 orders of magnitude relative to their initial values. A physical limit to compaction is discussed, which we suggest is echoed in a limit to the potential for permeability reduction in compacting volcanic rock. Compiled literature data illustrate that at high axial strain (both in the brittle and ductile regimes), porosity ϕ and permeability k tend to converge towards intermediate values (i.e. 0.10  ≤ ϕ ≤  0.20; 10−14 ≤ k ≤ 10−13 m2). These results are discussed in light of their potential ramifications for impacting edifice outgassing – and in turn, eruptive activity – in active volcanoes.

O instrumento utilizado foi o Inventário de Motivação à Prática Regular de Atividade Física (IMPRAF-54), que abrange seis dimensões da motivação (Controle do Estresse, Saúde, Sociabilidade, Competitividade, Estética e Prazer). Foram avaliados 173 sujeitos, entre 18 e 40 anos, das diferentes modalidades oferecidas pelo projeto. Como resultado geral, verificou-se que a Saúde e o Prazer são os principais motivos para a prática da atividade física, seguidos pelo Controle do Estresse e Estética, Sociabilidade e Competitividade. Ressalta-se a importância de pesquisas assim tanto para a área da Educação Física em geral, quanto para aqueles que trabalham diretamente no oferecimento dessas atividades, pois possibilita a criação de estratégias que mantenham os alunos motivados para a prática de atividade física.

Ocena zdolności do kontynuowania działalności polskich spółek giełdowych w czasie kryzysu za pomocą modeli wielowymiarowej analizy dyskryminacyjnej

The Global Financial Crisis, which began in 2007, had a huge influence on the situation on world stock markets. The behavior of investors is often affected by various factors which can impact their investment decisions. As they do not always act rationally, have a tendency to overreact and cannot remove all emo-tional components from their decision-making process, it may be difficult to explain their behavior and investment decisions during the crisis, especially those concerning the sale of shares. The huge drop in share prices on world stock markets was visible in the early stages of the crisis, but it probably was not justified by actual deterioration of the financial situation of listed companies. The Global Financial Crisis triggered a wave of panic selling of shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). As the fluctuations in share prices do not always reflect the real economic situation of the companies, it is worth to examine whether the financial standing of companies listed on WSE actually deteriorated and whether the number of companies facing bankruptcy grew during the 2007 Crisis. The main purpose of this article is to evalu-ate the influence of the recent financial crisis on the financial situation and performance of Polish listed companies. Eight multiple discriminant analysis models were utilized to evaluate the real changes in the financial situation of Polish listed companies during the crisis (years 2006-2011). The aforementioned models enable prediction of corporate bankruptcy and measurement of financial health of companies. Theoretically, the number of companies facing bankruptcy should increase in time of crisis. As many as 175 joint-stock companies listed on the regulated market of the WSE were covered by the study. Their financial data were extracted from the Notoria Serwis database, which is available on the University of Lodz Library’s website.

Value Creation Reporting: Answering the Question ‘Value to Whom’ according to the International Integrated Reporting Framework

The principal function of integrated reporting is the reporting of value and this phenomenon seems the most philosophical part of the International  Framework. This paper discusses what the value concept refers to in the Framework: Value to investors, value to society or value to present and future generations? In this sense, we try to answer this question by highlighting the dynamics of capital formations according to interrelations between capitals and demonstrating the value creation process in the short, medium, and longer term. We show that (1) „profit” is the result of short term value creation, which indicates the „value to value chain stakeholders”, (2) „expected fair value of equity” represents the „value to investors” and (3) „longer term value” represents the „value to society” according to the International  Framework. Additionally, we touch on the inadequacies of the current Framework and suggest future research opportunities within the scope of value creation reporting. To our knowledge, this study is the first to provide a detailed framework on the dynamics of capitals usage and it attempts to show the intersection of accounting and finance in terms of value creation reporting.

Recenzja monografii pt. Modele biznesu przedsiębiorstw. Analiza i raportowanie

Pojęcie modelu biznesu przewija się przez współczesne publikacje naukowe i popularyzatorskie dotyczące bardzo wielu obszarów nauk ekonomicznych, w tym rachunkowości. Powszechność stosowania tego określenia oraz zróżnicowana interpretacja jego znaczenia stawia przed badaczami trudne wyzwanie powiązania swoich rozważań z określonym nurtem. Udanym przykładem zmierzenia się z tym wyzwaniem w dziedzinie badań nad rachunkowością jest recenzowana książka autorstwa Jana Michalaka pt. Modele biznesu przedsiębiorstw. Analiza i raportowanie. Autor zdecydował się na odważną próbę polegającą na znalezieniu równowagi różnych podejść do modeli biznesu. Przedstawione w opracowaniu rozważania teoretyczne, dotyczące znaczenia tej konstrukcji pojęciowej do odwzorowania działalności współczesnych przedsiębiorstw, zostały powiązane z bardzo ciekawymi badaniami empirycznymi dotyczącymi zakresu ujawnień informacji ekonomicznej. Rozważania zawarte w książce są efektem poszukiwań przez autora odpowiedzi na cztery pytania badawcze. W jaki sposób modele biznesu są przedstawiane w raportach rocznych, raportach zintegrowanych i prospektach emisyjnych (dokumentach informacyjnych)? W jaki sposób modele biznesu wpływają na sposób prezentowania informacji w sprawozdaniach finansowych? W jaki sposób systemy rachunkowości finansowej i zarządczej są dostosowywane, aby umożliwiały prawidłowe odwzorowanie modeli biznesu? W jaki sposób można analizować modele biznesu?
Low-Grade Sinonasal Sarcoma With Neural and Myogenic Features: A Recently Discovered Entity With Unique Features and Diagnostic Challenge
Authors: Triki Meriam , Ayadi Lobna
Published: April 2017

Low-grade sinonasal sarcoma with neural and myogenic features is an entity recently described in the literature. Little is known about its etiopathogenesis, natural history, or optimal treatment. In fact, it has relatively unique findings: it has a distinctive cytogenetic signature, and it expresses both smooth muscle actin and S100 protein. However, its diagnosis is challenging on biopsies showing negative staining for these 2 markers. The differential diagnoses include fibrosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and other benign and malignant lesions. A complete resection, with or without radiotherapy, is required because this lesion appears to be locally aggressive. However, the clinical outcome seems to be good. Low-grade sinonasal sarcoma with neural and myogenic features merits classification as an independent tumor in the next World Health Organization classification of head and neck tumors. Reports of additional cases are required to support its unique classification.
Splenic Epstein-Barr Virus–Associated Inflammatory Pseudotumor
Authors: Van Baeten Chris , Van Dorpe Jo
Published: April 2017

Splenic inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is an uncommon lesion with an inflammatory morphologic aspect that often poses a diagnostic challenge. The etiology of IPT can be infectious, autoimmune, reactive, or neoplastic. Splenic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)–associated IPTs form a subset of splenic IPTs in which there is a spindle cell component infected by EBV. The best characterized and most frequent subgroup of splenic EBV-associated IPT is IPT-like follicular dendritic cell tumor. This review also focusses on EBV-associated splenic IPTs without follicular dendritic cell marker expression. These lesions are less well characterized, making the differential diagnosis with other splenic lesions even more difficult. Recently, increased numbers of immunoglobulin G4–positive plasma cells and the presence of numerous granulomas have been reported in EBV-associated IPTs, and this can add to the difficulties in recognizing the neoplastic nature of these lesions. Herein, we also review the epidemiology, clinical features, histologic morphology, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and pathogenesis of EBV-associated IPTs.
La prévention des catastrophes naturelles et les organisations internationales du temps de la sdn au lendemain de la guerre froide
Authors: Schemper Lukas
Published: April 2017

À partir de l’analyse d’archives, cet article propose de retracer le processus d’internationalisation de la gestion des catastrophes naturelles du temps de lasdnjusqu’aux années 1990. Les exemples choisis (uis,unesco,undro,dipcn) montrent que l’environnement et les catastrophes naturelles constituent le plus souvent deux agendas clairement différents : ces organisations internationales ont longtemps dissocié leur objectif principal – le secoursad hoc– et la recherche scientifique au service de la prévention. C’est pourtant à travers l’activité de prévention que ces mêmes acteurs ont commencé à s’intéresser à l’environnement sans nécessairement se préoccuper de la protection environnementale ou de créer un lien entre les régimes circulatoires de ces deux champs.
Emplois verts ou emplois tout court ?
Authors: Louis Marieke
Published: April 2017

Cet article analyse la mise à l’agenda de la question environnementale à l’Organisation internationale du travail (oit) depuis la fin des années 1970 jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Il montre comment l’environnement, d’abord défini comme un enjeu de sécurité pour les travailleurs, est peu à peu intégré au paradigme du développement durable à partir des années 1990, sous la pression d’acteurs multiples, internes et externes à l’oit. L’adoption du concept d’emplois verts dans les années 2000 permet d’arrimer l’environnement à l’Agenda du travail décent – promu par l’oit depuis 1999 – et d’inscrire plus clairement la question environnementale dans le mandat de l’oit. L’article met ainsi à jour un processus d’appropriation de la question environnementale à mi-chemin entre verdissement et environnementalisation.
