The specific needs of patients following sepsis: a nested qualitative interview study
Authors: Gehrke-Beck Sabine , Bänfer Mareike , Schilling Nina , Schmidt Konrad , Gensichen Jochen , Heintze Christoph
Published: January 2017

Background

Survivors of sepsis suffer from multiple critical disease sequelae when discharged to primary care. There is a lack of structured aftercare programmes and case managers may be helpful in caring for patients with chronic critical disease.

Aim

To gain insight into the functioning of a structured aftercare programme for post-sepsis patients in general practice.

Design & setting

A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with patients and GPs across Germany who participated in an randomised controlled trial of a structured aftercare programme for post-sepsis patients, which included patient education and case manager monitoring.

Method

Qualitative interviews with 19 patients and 13 GPs were audiorecorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using qualitative content analysis.

Results

Patients appreciated the information given in the patient education session, but some disliked it because it reminded them of their serious illness. GPs appreciated patient education because well-informed patients are more likely to participate in follow-up. Patients appreciated the case monitoring because it made them feel safer and more cared for and helped them reflect on their health issues. However, some patients felt uncomfortable with the regular questioning. GPs appreciated the case management programme because they received regular clinical information. However some GPs were wary of the clinical relevance of the information, the delegation of the patient to the nurse, and efficiency of time. Both patients and GPs requested more clinical support, such as easier access to psychotherapists.

Conclusion

In general, both patients and their GPs appreciated patient education and monitoring following sepsis. Patients’ retrospections and worries about their serious illness need to be considered.

Sprendimų priėmimas dirbtiniame intelekte yra labai svarbus. Nes būtent kompiuterio pasirinktas veiksmas leidžia spręsti, ar gaunamas natūralus norimo pasiekti elgesio rezultatas. Didelis kiekis sąlyginių programinio kodo formuluočių ilgą laiką buvo ir tebeišlieka pagrindinis sprendimų priėmimo rodiklis, tačiau griežtas perėjimas iš „ne“ į „taip“ (arba atvirkščiai) dažnai pasireiškia elgesiu, kuris gali pasirodyti grubus. Naudingumo teorija yra taikoma psichologijoje, ekonomikoje, sociologijoje ir klasikinėje žaidimo teorijoje. Naudojantis naudingumo teorijos atsako kreivėmis, populiacijos pasiskirstymo ir svertinių atsitiktinumų rodikliais galima pagerinti kompiuterio valdomų žaidėjų sprendimų priėmimą, praplatinti potencialių pasirinkimų skaičių bei susitvarkyti su kraštutiniais atvejais, su kuriais nesusidoroja kitos sprendimų priėmimo sistemos.

Per pastaruosius dešimtmečius, kada projektavimo srityje pradėta intensyviai taikyti CAD sistemas, atsirado palankios sąlygos kaupti ir saugoti projektinę informaciją. Įvairios projektavimo įmonės – pradedant sunkiąja pramone, baigiant baldų dizaino ir gamybos – saugo visus savo projektus: dokumentaciją, aprašymą ir, žinoma, inžinerinę informaciją – detales, duomenų bazėse. Toks darbo pobūdis leidžia lengvai grįžti ir pakoreguoti seną projektą, taip pat pasimokyti iš klaidų. Inžinieriai, dizaineriai kuria didelės vertės detalių 3D modelius, brėžinius. Pradėdami naują projektą jie gali pasinaudoti sukaupta patirtimi ir inžinieriniais sprendimais, kurie buvo taikomi kuriant ankstesnius modelius. Dažnai naudojamos detalės galiausiai tampa standartinėmis įmonės viduje. Pavyzdžiui, baldus gaminanti įmonė gali turėti ištobulintą tvirtinimo elemento šabloną, kurį šiek tiek pakoreguotą naudoja gamindama visą savo produkciją. Tokį efektyvumą įmonė gali pasiekti turėdama griežtai suorganizuotą dokumentaciją. Priešingu atveju inžinierius, kaskart dirbdamas su nauju projektu, pats to nežinodamas, vis iš naujo atranda jau duomenų bazėje esantį detalės dizainą. Todėl inžinieriai vis daugiau laiko skiria esamų detalių paieškai. Remiantis tyrimais, daugiau nei pusė darbo laiko yra skiriama reikiamos informacijos paieškai. Toks darbas nėra efektyvus, todėl yra didelis poreikis dizaino paieškos sistemoms.

Dinaminis žaidimo sudėtingumo lygio prisitaikymas (angl. – dynamic difficulty adjustment), dar kitaip vadinamas – dinaminis žaidimo sudėtingumo reguliavimas (angl. – dynamic game balancing), yra procesas, kai automatiškai keičiami žaidimo parametrai, scenarijus ir elgesys realiu laiku, atsižvelgiant į žaidėjo gebėjimus, tam, kad naudotojui žaidimas netaptų nuobodus, jeigu jis yra per lengvas, arba nekeltų per didelio susierzinimo, jeigu jis yra per sudėtingas. Dėl to jau beveik tris dešimtmečius žaidimų kūrėjai kuria įvairius metodus, galinčius padėti išspręsti šią užduotį. Dėl šios priežasties šiuo metu yra daugybė metodų, kuriuos taikant bandoma kuo geriau pritaikyti žaidimo sudėtingumo lygį pagal žaidėjo turimus įgūdžius, tačiau visi metodai turi tam tikrų trūkumų ir skirtingų privalumų. Šie metodai pagal savo paskirtį gali būti suskirstyti į dvi grupes: tuos, kurie yra skirti daugelio veikėjų žaidimams, ir tuos, kurie skirti vieno žaidėjo. Šiame straipsnyje glaustai pristatyti pastarajai grupei priklausantys metodai bei palyginti tarpusavyje. Tuomet buvo pasirinkti metodai, geriausiai atitinkantys šio tipo metodams iškeltus reikalavimus, ir papildyti statine lygio parinktimi tam, kad būtų galima išspręsti populiarią šių metodų problemą – žaidėjų sukčiavimą.
ELECTRON ACCELERATION IN CONTRACTING MAGNETIC ISLANDS DURING SOLAR FLARES

Published: January 2017

Electron acceleration in solar flares is well known to be efficient at generating energetic particles that produce the observed bremsstrahlung X-ray spectra. One mechanism proposed to explain the observations is electron acceleration within contracting magnetic islands formed by magnetic reconnection in the flare current sheet. In a previous study, a numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulation of an eruptive solar flare was analyzed to estimate the associated electron acceleration due to island contraction. That analysis used a simple analytical model for the island structure and assumed conservation of the adiabatic invariants of particle motion. In this paper, we perform the first-ever rigorous integration of the guiding-center orbits of electrons in a modeled flare. An initially isotropic distribution of particles is seeded in a contracting island from the simulated eruption, and the subsequent evolution of these particles is followed using guiding-center theory. We find that the distribution function becomes increasingly anisotropic over time as the electrons’ energy increases by up to a factor of five, in general agreement with the previous study. In addition, we show that the energized particles are concentrated on the Sunward side of the island, adjacent to the reconnection X-point in the flare current sheet. Furthermore, our analysis demonstrates that the electron energy gain is dominated by betatron acceleration in the compressed, strengthened magnetic field of the contracting island. Fermi acceleration by the shortened field lines of the island also contributes to the energy gain, but it is less effective than the betatron process.
INFLUENCE OF THE GALACTIC GRAVITATIONAL FIELD ON THE POSITIONAL ACCURACY OF EXTRAGALACTIC SOURCES
Authors: Larchenkova Tatiana I. , Lutovinov Alexander A. , Lyskova Natalya S.
Published: January 2017

We investigate the influence of random variations of the Galactic gravitational field on the apparent celestial positions of extragalactic sources. The basic statistical characteristics of a stochastic process (first-order moments, an autocorrelation function and a power spectral density) are used to describe a light ray deflection in a gravitational field of randomly moving point masses as a function of the source coordinates. We map a 2D distribution of the standard deviation of the angular shifts in positions of distant sources (including reference sources of the International Celestial Reference Frame) with respect to their true positions. For different Galactic matter distributions the standard deviation of the offset angle can reach several tens of μas (microarcsecond) toward the Galactic center, decreasing down to 4–6 μas at high galactic latitudes. The conditional standard deviation (“jitter”) of 2.5 μas is reached within 10 years at high galactic latitudes and within a few months toward the inner part of the Galaxy. The photometric microlensing events are not expected to be disturbed by astrometric random variations anywhere except the inner part of the Galaxy as the Einstein–Chvolson times are typically much shorter than the jittering timescale. While a jitter of a single reference source can be up to dozens of μas over some reasonable observational time, using a sample of reference sources would reduce the error in relative astrometry. The obtained results can be used for estimating the physical upper limits on the time-dependent accuracy of astrometric measurements.
MASSIVE WARM/HOT GALAXY CORONAE AS PROBED BY UV/X-RAY OXYGEN ABSORPTION AND EMISSION. I. BASIC MODEL
Authors: Faerman Yakov , Sternberg Amiel , McKee Christopher F.
Published: January 2017

We construct an analytic phenomenological model for extended warm/hot gaseous coronae of L
* galaxies. We consider UV O vi Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS)-Halos absorption line data in combination with Milky Way (MW) X-ray O vii and O viii absorption and emission. We fit these data with a single model representing the COS-Halos galaxies and a Galactic corona. Our model is multi-phased, with hot and warm gas components, each with a (turbulent) log-normal distribution of temperatures and densities. The hot gas, traced by the X-ray absorption and emission, is in hydrostatic equilibrium in an MW gravitational potential. The median temperature of the hot gas is

TOWARD UNDERSTANDING THE B[e] PHENOMENON. VI. NATURE AND SPECTRAL VARIATIONS OF HD 85567∗

We report the results of high-resolution (R ∼ 80,000) spectroscopic observations of the emission-line object HD 85567, which has been classified as an FS CMa type object or a pre-main-sequence star. The main goal is to put more constraints on the object’s fundamental parameters, as well as on its nature and evolutionary state. Absorption lines in the spectrum of HD 85567 were found to be similar to those of mid-B-type dwarfs and correspond to the following fundamental parameters: T
eff = 15,000 ± 500 K,

km s−1, and

. The interstellar extinction, A

V
 = 0.50 ± 0.02 mag, was measured using the strengths of some diffuse interstellar bands. We also obtained UBV(RI)c images of a 10′ × 10′ region around the object. Photometry of projectionally close stars was used to derive an interstellar extinction law in this direction and resulted in a distance of 1300 ± 100 pc to the object and a luminosity of log L/L
⊙ = 3.3 ± 0.2. We found no significant radial velocity variations of the absorption lines in the spectra of HD 85567 obtained during two-month-long periods of time in 2012 and 2015. Our analysis of the spectroscopic and photometric data available for the star led us to a conclusion that it cannot be a pre-main-sequence Herbig Ae/Be star. We argue that the circumstellar gas and dust were produced during the object’s evolution as most likely a binary system, which contains an undetected secondary component and is unlikely to be a merger product.
STAR FORMATION AND SUPERCLUSTER ENVIRONMENT OF 107 NEARBY GALAXY CLUSTERS

Published: January 2017

We analyze the relationship between star formation (SF), substructure, and supercluster environment in a sample of 107 nearby galaxy clusters using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Previous works have investigated the relationships between SF and cluster substructure, and cluster substructure and supercluster environment, but definitive conclusions relating all three of these variables has remained elusive. We find an inverse relationship between cluster SF fraction (f
SF) and supercluster environment density, calculated using the Galaxy luminosity density field at a smoothing length of 8 h
−1 Mpc (D8). The slope of f
SF versus D8 is −0.008 ± 0.002. The f
SF of clusters located in low-density large-scale environments, 0.244 ± 0.011, is higher than for clusters located in high-density supercluster cores, 0.202 ± 0.014. We also divide superclusters, according to their morphology, into filament- and spider-type systems. The inverse relationship between cluster f
SF and large-scale density is dominated by filament- rather than spider-type superclusters. In high-density cores of superclusters, we find a higher f
SF in spider-type superclusters, 0.229 ± 0.016, than in filament-type superclusters, 0.166 ± 0.019. Using principal component analysis, we confirm these results and the direct correlation between cluster substructure and SF. These results indicate that cluster SF is affected by both the dynamical age of the cluster (younger systems exhibit higher amounts of SF); the large-scale density of the supercluster environment (high-density core regions exhibit lower amounts of SF); and supercluster morphology (spider-type superclusters exhibit higher amounts of SF at high densities).
THE FORMATION OF SECONDARY STELLAR GENERATIONS IN MASSIVE YOUNG STAR CLUSTERS FROM RAPIDLY COOLING SHOCKED STELLAR WINDS

Published: January 2017

We study a model of rapidly cooling shocked stellar winds in young massive clusters and estimate the circumstances under which secondary star formation, out of the reinserted winds from a first stellar generation (1G), is possible. We have used two implementations of the model: a highly idealized, computationally inexpensive, spherically symmetric semi-analytic model, and a complex, three-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic, simulation; they are in a good mutual agreement. The results confirm our previous findings that, in a cluster with 1G mass 107
M
⊙ and half-mass–radius 2.38 pc, the shocked stellar winds become thermally unstable, collapse into dense gaseous structures that partially accumulate inside the cluster, self-shield against ionizing stellar radiation, and form the second generation (2G) of stars. We have used the semi-analytic model to explore a subset of the parameter space covering a wide range of the observationally poorly constrained parameters: the heating efficiency, η
he, and the mass loading, η
ml. The results show that the fraction of the 1G stellar winds accumulating inside the cluster can be larger than 50% if η
he ≲ 10%, which is suggested by the observations. Furthermore, for low η
he, the model provides a self-consistent mechanism predicting 2G stars forming only in the central zones of the cluster. Finally, we have calculated the accumulated warm gas emission in the H30α recombination line, analyzed its velocity profile, and estimated its intensity for super star clusters in interacting galaxies NGC4038/9 (Antennae) showing that the warm gas should be detectable with ALMA.
COMPARING CORONAL AND HELIOSPHERIC MAGNETIC FIELDS OVER SEVERAL SOLAR CYCLES

Published: January 2017

Here we use the PFSS model and photospheric data from Wilcox Solar Observatory, SOHO/MDI, SDO/HMI, and SOLIS to compare the coronal field with heliospheric magnetic field measured at 1 au, compiled in the NASA/NSSDC OMNI 2 data set. We calculate their mutual polarity match and the power of the radial decay, p, of the radial field using different source surface distances and different number of harmonic multipoles. We find the average polarity match of 82% for the declining phase, 78%–79% for maxima, 76%–78% for the ascending phase, and 74%–76% for minima. On an average, the source surface of 3.25 R

S
gives the best polarity match. We also find strong evidence for solar cycle variation of the optimal source surface distance, with highest values (3.3 R

S
) during solar minima and lowest values (2.6 R

S
–2.7 R

S
) during the other three solar cycle phases. Raising the number of harmonic terms beyond 2 rarely improves the polarity match, showing that the structure of the HMF at 1 au is most of the time rather simple. All four data sets yield fairly similar polarity matches. Thus, polarity comparison is not affected by photospheric field scaling, unlike comparisons of the field intensity.
An Open Catalog for Supernova Data
Authors: Guillochon James , Parrent Jerod , Kelley Luke Zoltan , Margutti Raffaella
Published: January 2017

We present the Open Supernova Catalog, an online collection of observations and metadata for presently 36,000+ supernovae and related candidates. The catalog is freely available on the web (https://sne.space), with its main interface having been designed to be a user-friendly, rapidly searchable table accessible on desktop and mobile devices. In addition to the primary catalog table containing supernova metadata, an individual page is generated for each supernova, which displays its available metadata, light curves, and spectra spanning X-ray to radio frequencies. The data presented in the catalog is automatically rebuilt on a daily basis and is constructed by parsing several dozen sources, including the data presented in the supernova literature and from secondary sources such as other web-based catalogs. Individual supernova data is stored in the hierarchical, human- and machine-readable JSON format, with the entirety of each supernova’s data being contained within a single JSON file bearing its name. The setup we present here, which is based on open-source software maintained via git repositories hosted on github, enables anyone to download the entirety of the supernova data set to their home computer in minutes, and to make contributions of their own data back to the catalog via git. As the supernova data set continues to grow, especially in the upcoming era of all-sky synoptic telescopes, which will increase the total number of events by orders of magnitude, we hope that the catalog we have designed will be a valuable tool for the community to analyze both historical and contemporary supernovae.

L’apprentissage de la langue de scolarité : vers une école maternelle « davantage inclusive »
Authors: Behra Séverine , Carol Rita , Macaire Dominique
Published: January 2017

L’école maternelle est un espace social où des enfants fort divers, par leurs aptitudes cognitives, leurs attitudes et comportements, vivent ensemble. L’hétérogénéité des enfants se manifeste tout particulièrement dans le domaine langagier où un large continuum est observable, allant de ceux ayant une maitrise relativement aisée de la langue, aux enfants dont le français n’est pas la langue de la maison et qui ignorent tout de la langue de l’école. Comment l’enseignement pourrait-il mieux prendre en compte cette diversité ? Partant des pratiques communicatives actuelles, l’étude les interroge dans une perspective inclusive de l’enseignement. Si effectivement chaque enfant doit pouvoir accéder aux connaissances et à la langue de l’école (UNESCO 2003), quels sont alors les changements indispensables ? Ces derniers s’articulent dans le domaine du langage à plusieurs niveaux : les représentations, les savoirs et l’action pédagogique des enseignants.
Corps et voix : quel travail dans la classe de français du premier cycle du secondaire ?

Published: January 2017

Les dimensions vocales et corporelles font l’objet de peu d’attention dans la classe de français du secondaire. Les auteurs font l’hypothèse que les enseignants méconnaissent ces objets et que, pour cette raison, ils ne voient pas leur pertinence dans l’apprentissage de l’oral et de l’oralité. La contribution entend cependant définir les concepts de voix et de corps et examine leur traitement dans les programmes officiels pour la Suisse romande, ainsi que dans plusieurs ouvrages d’enseignement en usage dans les classes.
Produire des récits oraux avec des élèves allophones
Authors: El Abed Gravouil Hiba , David Jacques
Published: January 2017

L’étude porte sur les compétences discursives — et plus spécifiquement narratives — d’élèves allophones. Son objectif est de montrer que les écarts linguistiques observables dans les narrations orales produites par ces élèves accueillis en Unité pédagogique pour élèves allophones arrivants (UP2A) n’obèrent pas ipso facto leurs habiletés à raconter et, plus largement, à construire des discours cohérents et complets. S’appuyant sur une revue des recherches relatives au fonctionnement et à l’acquisition des récits oraux, la démonstration est étayée par l’analyse conjointe d’une même histoire énoncée dans la ou les langues d’usage des élèves et dans celle de leur scolarisation en cours, en l’occurrence le français.
Jouer pour apprendre à parler à l’école maternelle

Published: January 2017

Si les jeux ont un impact sur le développement cognitif du jeune enfant, ils peuvent aussi être l’occasion d’apprendre à parler. Certains jeux de société peuvent ainsi être un support efficace à la mise en fonctionnement d’un discours explicite et structuré. L’enseignant qui explique les règles, qui décrit les actions de l’enfant en train de jouer, qui l’aide à formuler le déroulement du jeu à d’autres joueurs, possède un rôle non négligeable dans cet apprentissage du langage. En s’appuyant sur de récentes expériences de terrain, l’étude identifie et illustre les postures langagières de l’enseignant et les modalités d’interactions les plus favorables à la production de discours explicatifs et narratifs des élèves.
Des humanités aux sciences de la culture : actualité de la sémiostylistique
Authors: Kurts-Wöste Lia
Published: January 2017

La sémiostylistique occupe une place importante aujourd’hui, dans ce moment historique de transition entre les sciences humaines et les sciences de la culture. Redéfinie à partir des années 1980 comme herméneutique matérielle des textes littéraires, elle reste, d’une part, le seul lieu institutionnel où se pratique encore la jonction entre littérature et sciences du langage ; elle lègue, d’autre part, aux sciences de la culture la question esthétique, qu’il s’agit de redéfinir au sein d’une sémiotique des cultures sous le nom d’ esthétique fondamentale ou théorie de la valeur . Loin de n’être qu’une discipline de concours de peu de portée, elle constitue ainsi un laboratoire épistémologique d’avenir pour penser une sémio-anthropologie d’inspiration culturaliste.
Nationalité et citoyenneté

Published: January 2017

La confusion de la nationalité et de la citoyenneté a caractérisé l’histoire des démocraties modernes. Aujourd’hui, certains pensent une « nouvelle citoyenneté », qui serait fondée sur la construction européenne ou sur la participation économique et sociale. D’autres prônent la dissociation de la citoyenneté et de la nationalité. Les sociétés démocratiques peuvent-elles évacuer la dimension politique et l’ensemble des traditions et des institutions qui organisent la vie démocratique ? Nationalité et citoyenneté sont-elles dissociables ?
La déchéance avant la nationalité

De l’expatriation volontaire aux comportements indignes de la nation, les systèmes juridiques de l’Ancien Régime et de la Révolution n’ont cessé de qualifier les actes destructeurs du lien établi entre le sujet et sa patrie, et de les sanctionner par des mécanismes de déchéance. S’ils prononcent tous une exclusion de la communauté, ils semblent considérer davantage le mauvais citoyen que le mauvais « national ».

L’extension de la déchéance de nationalité aux binationaux condamnés pour crimes terroristes a enflammé le débat public. Proposée par le président de la République devant le Congrès, trois jours après les attentats du 13 novembre 2015, elle a été abandonnée le 30 mars 2016, devant l’impossibilité de faire aboutir la révision constitutionnelle. Au-delà de l’analyse des moments charnières de ce débat, des leçons peuvent en être utilement tirées sur l’autonomie du politique, les risques de l’urgence, la complexité de la formation de l’opinion et les dangers du débat sur la déchéance.
Nationalité et citoyenneté en situation coloniale et post-coloniale

Sous le Second Empire colonial français, les « sujets » ont été considérés comme des nationaux privés des droits du citoyen. Cette spécificité coloniale est un élément essentiel de l’histoire de la nationalité et de la citoyenneté dans le contexte français : non seulement elle révèle les tensions profondes entre tendances inclusives et exclusives, mais aussi, à travers le concept d’assimilation qu’elle a généré, elle a profondément influencé les définitions de l’appartenance nationale.

Les structures administratives de la nationalité ont vécu une triple évolution depuis le milieu des années 2000 : une plus grande centralisation des compétences sur le plan ministériel au profit du ministère de l’Intérieur, des mouvements de déconcentration et une limitation du nombre des structures territoriales compétentes. Des questions restent néanmoins en suspens, qui touchent à la nécessité du maintien d’expertises ministérielles différenciées, d’une gestion toujours plus efficace et d’une simplification administrative des demandes alliée à la lutte contre les fraudes.

Published: January 2017

C comme « Chut », D comme droit de se taire, O comme omerta, P comme « Parle »… pour finir par Z comme Zoé la menteuse. Les auteures de cet abécédaire, centré sur la fonction de la parole dans les relations enfant-adulte, s’intéressent aux figures de l’enfant menteur et de l’enfant taiseux. Dire ou se taire, parler vrai ou mentir, ne pas réduire la parole à son énoncé, s’intéresser à sa fonction d’adresse à l’autre, permet d’appréhender la question de la vérité du sujet. L’adulte (parent, éducateur, assistant familial…) saura-t-il écouter l’enfant ? « Ne le privons pas du plaisir de se trouver en le pressant de questions. Ne le dépossédons pas de ce qu’il a inventé pour vivre en lui arrachant son masque. »

« Verba volant, scripta manent ? »
Authors: Bouville Jean-Marc
Published: January 2017

L’auteur s’interroge sur la part de la parole dans la création humaine à partir des premières lignes de la Torah comme prétexte à réfléchir à trois questions : quelle force possède la parole dans le destin d’un enfant ? Comment la parole est-elle « pacifiée » par les adultes ou « surinterprétée » par les mêmes adultes ? Enfin comment, sous couvert d’une écoute de la parole de l’enfant, l’on en arrive à couper la parole de sujet de l’enfant moderne ?

Authors: Nath Shantanu K. , Aznabi Sayera , Islam Nabila T. , Faridi Annan , Qarony Wayesh
Published: January 2017

The manuscript represents wireless sensor networks using numerous topologies of ZigBee. Along with coordinator load, the uses of coordination with such networks were inspected. The investigation has been accomplished via the use of various plots in the OPNET Modeler simulator. The results of the simulation explore the use of coordination with mesh and tree routing to verify the suitability of the topology. It also demonstrates some of the implemented features of the ZigBee protocol and IEEE 802.15.4 MAC specification, using OPNET's ZigBee model suite, like: Mesh routing vs. tree routing, Roaming between Personal Area Network (PANs) & Failure and Recovery procedures. The simulation has been carried out for 20 minutes to investigate the response of routing topologies on the delay, coordinator load and the MAC Load and the data have been collected. The results indicate that the End to End delay, number of hops and MAC load for mesh routing is lower than the tree routing. The results also show that in case of failure and recovery procedures, the simulated networks perform according to the ZigBee Standard.

De la nécessité d’adopter une posture scientifique et critique au temps du numérique
Authors: Dolbeau-Bandin Cécile , Proulx Serge , Rivron Vassili
Published: January 2017

Les technologies numériques touchent désormais l’ensemble des secteurs de la vie sociale, interrogeant les certitudes et les paradigmes économiques, juridiques, technologiques et sociétaux établis. Plongées dans les transformations engendrées par des technologies numériques puissamment adossées à une idéologie du progrès, les sciences humaines et sociales ne sont pas toujours parvenues à trouver une posture permettant de développer une réflexion structurée capable de les comprendre. Face à ces mutations ce dossier propose plusieurs approches critiques, pour faire le bilan de leurs pratiques.
De l’otakisme à la cyberdépendance ou « l’ambiguïté technologique »
Authors: Oliveri Nicolas
Published: January 2017

L’otakisme japonais et la cyberdépendance qui lui est associée sont les phénomènes remarquables d’une relation privilégiée entre certains individus nippons et les technologies. En France, un otakisme a également vu le jour, mais sans pour autant retenir les mêmes caractéristiques que celles observées au Japon. Comme si les techniques n’avaient pu uniformiser en totalité les pratiques sociales d’usagers aux comportements techniques, a priori similaires. Sans doute la culture a-t-elle joué un rôle déterminant, canalisant la puissance de la technique tout en permettant la mise à distance de discours convenus. C’est ce cadre d’analyse inédit que propose d’exploiter cet article.
Humanités numériques responsables
Authors: Reber Bernard
Published: January 2017

Les humanités numériques sont bien loin de se résumer aux seules sciences documentaires augmentées. Elles affectent les savoirs eux-mêmes. Cet article part donc des humanités dans leur origine historique pour comparer et lier de diverses manières les sciences qui lisent et celles qui comptent. Il aborde également les façons dont ces sciences se répondent, un des sens de responsabilité (responsiveness). Nous esquisserons cinq itinéraires de pensée au sein des humanités numériques, entre technologies de l’information et de communication et sciences humaines et sociales. Cela fera le lien entre les humanités numériques et la notion émergente, principalement en Europe, d’Innovation et de recherche responsables (IRR). Elle est différente des évaluations éthiques qui s’imposent déjà à toute recherche (Ethical compliance). Celles qui comportent des technologies d’information (TIC) ont détrôné par leur nombre celles qui préoccupaient la bioéthique. Nous verrons alors la richesse des conceptions de la responsabilité morale. Nous terminerons avec des problèmes liés à l’ontologie des humanités numériques, à celle de l’action, et à la décontextualisation qu’elles induisent.

Authors: Milošević Olgica
Published: January 2017

The European Union (EU) and the Republic of Serbia have recognized the importance of SMEs and are developing accordingly the institutional framework of this sector. In the process of EU accession, Serbia has to fulfil political, economic and legal requirements by implementing systemic reforms of its legal system in order to align it with the EU acquis. Some of these requirements have a direct or indirect impact on SME regulations, to which our chapter has been dedicated within a series of our papers on developing the SME regulatory framework. This paper will try to present the importance of innovating legal development of these companies. Furthermore, modern concepts will be introduced together with very important tools of legal forms of SME organization. The intention is to clearly define specific legal goals of SMEs, expressed through targeted legal forms.

Initial Price Strategies of Polish Micro and Small Enterprises
Authors: Maciejczak Mariusz , Słodki Adrian
Published: January 2017

The sector of micro, small and medium size enterprises is important for any economy. It is important also for Poland. Analyzing the industrial organization of this sector it was confirmed that the owners and managers of such companies are applying strategies, which are rational from their point of view, but not from the perspective of real market conditions. It is argued therefore that the game theory is for them a solution in enhancing competences and performance of their organizations. Based on randomized sample of Polish micro and small companies the paper aimed to find out if the managers apply the game theory rationales when choosing price strategy when enter the market. It was confirmed that they do not and that they don't play Nash equilibrium in the strategic interaction when it comes to the price level. There was applied maxmin strategy, which maximises the worst - case scenario from the game. Thus there is a real chance that if entrepreneurs would analyze the situation with respect of game theory, their strategies would be more accurate and provide better outcomes.
A Further Look at Working Capital Optimization in Medium-Sized Firms
Authors: Vemić Milan B.
Published: January 2017

SMEs battling with financial volatility require financial and business ambidexterity. To them working capital optimization is one partial solution to improve performance. Examined concepts will not develop a spectacular model but rather quantitatively - qualitatively upgrade existing theories. The treatise will demonstrate that in stochastic working capital decisions important are varieties of alternatives. A structural model of working capital optimization is developed with practical examples for financial decision making under uncertainty. Emphasis will be placed on structuring management problems with the analysis of preferences using probability tools. Additional light is shed on coupling static and dynamic indicators, systemically approaching inventory and cash management, sales and purchasing, costs and profitability. Working capital optimization can contribute to management of financial risk and have an overall impact in medium sized enterprises. Conclusions and recommendations will aim to contribute to the overall body of knowledge on optimized financial decision making.

Authors: Stefanova Julia S. , Wenner Zachary
Published: January 2017

In 2010, the European Union codified “Smart, Sustainable, and Inclusive Growth” (SSIG) as part of the Europe 2020 Strategy. Introduced in the context of the global financial crisis, SSIG seeks to restore economic resiliency and foster a more equitable, innovative and environmentally sustainable European economy. The research evaluates the processes of entrepreneurship through which small and medium enterprises (SMEs) contribute to SSIG, including through “innovation-driven entrepreneurship,” “sustainable entrepreneurship” and “social entrepreneurship.” The research additionally assesses the creation of an enabling regulatory and fiscal environment for these modes of value creation, their associated socio-economic outcomes and their monitoring and evaluation practices.
Process Management for SMEs
Authors: Sanchez-Ruiz Lidia , Blanco Beatriz
Published: January 2017

More than 90% of companies in Spain, and other European countries, are SMEs. Therefore it is imperative to support and develop their competitiveness due to their contribution to the national economy. Thus, process management is said to be a useful means to improve efficiency and achieve a competitive advantage. Taking this into consideration the aim of this study is to identify and rank the barriers, enablers and benefits that SMEs encounter when implementing process management and to propose different initiatives to ease the implementation process. In order to fulfil this objective, a survey was conducted among SMEs that have already implemented process management so that their experience could help other SMEs. Finally, a ranking of barriers, enablers and benefits is obtained and some suggestions for managers are proposed.
Development of an Optimization Tool for Intangibles in SMEs
Authors: Arsenijević Olja M. , Orčić Drago , Kastratović Edita
Published: January 2017

The purpose of this chapter is to present research findings and address the conclusion that intellectual capital is present, measurable and can be optimized in SMEs. The theoretical part of the chapter presents a review of tools for measuring intellectual capital. By using this concept, SMEs recognize the importance of intellectual capital and accept methods by which they can convert their businesses into knowledge based companies. This approach has evolved very dynamically as changes in business development and intellectual capital continue to develop. The chapter also provides the newly created tool for optimizing intellectual potential in SMEs, tested through a pilot research in an SME, the “Prestige by Milka” company. As it can be seen from the chapter, neglecting intangibles frequently results in suboptimal business development. It is expected that the conclusions and recommendations of this study will reveal possible directions for further development of optimization potential and intellectual capital in SMEs.
