« C’est possible », réduire la coercition dans les soins pour les personnes adultes vivant avec des troubles neurodéveloppementaux : une étude à devis mixte
Authors: Billé Vincent , Gonsalvès Claire , Lamarche-Vadel Agathe , Verdoux Hélène
Published: September 2023

Introduction : les personnes adultes vivant avec un trouble neurodéveloppemental peuvent présenter des épisodes d’agressivité, susceptibles d’entrainer le recours à l’isolement à la contention. Le but de l’étude a été d’évaluer et d’explorer l’effet d’une démarche de moindre recours aux mesures coercitives dans une unité d’accueil au long cours de personnes adultes souffrant d’un trouble neurodéveloppemental, avec ou sans comorbidités psychiatriques. Méthode : l’étude monocentrique a utilisé un devis mixte séquentiel explicatif. Des données rétrospectives sur les données mensuelles agrégées des séquences d’isolement avec et sans contention ont été recueillies sur une période de 10 mois précédant l’intervention et une période de 10 mois postintervention. Une enquête qualitative a ensuite été réalisée auprès des professionnels de santé intervenant dans l’unité afin d’appréhender la mise en œuvre et l’efficience des interventions de moindre recours. Résultats : la comparaison des périodes pré- et postintervention met en évidence une diminution significative du nombre de séquences d’isolement et de contention, du nombre de patients exposés à une mesure d’isolement et de contention, et de la durée des séquences d’isolement et de contention. L’efficience de la démarche est confirmée par les soignants et expliquée par un leadership tourné vers la limitation des mesures coercitives, l’obligation légale, la cohésion d’équipe, et la mise en place d’outils et de méthodes alternatives. Discussion : la diminution de la coercition auprès des personnes adultes souffrant d’un trouble neurodéveloppemental est possible. D’autres études sont nécessaires pour confirmer l’efficience de stratégies alternatives à l’isolement et à la contention.

Authors: Cousin Saurel Karine , Ringot Audrey , Verot Élise
Published: September 2023

Introduction : en 1989, des experts ont mis au point la classification des critères de Rome couplée à l’utilisation de l’échelle de Bristol, afin d’objectiver l’état de constipation fonctionnelle. Contexte : aujourd’hui, la littérature documente peu les troubles du transit des patients en Insuffisance rénale chronique terminale (IRCT) traités par la Dialyse péritonéale (DP), alors même que cela engendre des complications non négligeables sur la morbidité, le confort et la qualité de vie du patient. Objectif : l’objectif principal de notre étude était d’évaluer la prévalence de la constipation des patients en IRCT. Matériel et méthode : nous avons réalisé une étude rétrospective multicentrique sur données. Résultats : 74 dossiers patients ont été analysés. Nous avons mis en évidence une prévalence de la constipation de 58 % chez des patients atteints d’une IRCT. Discussion : nos résultats ont démontré que la prévalence de la constipation est fréquente chez les patients atteints d’une IRCT. Elle entraîne un inconfort notable chez le patient, un surcoût au niveau des soins et des actes techniques, et un échec de la technique de dialyse péritonéale. Conclusion : ainsi, la prévention de la constipation des patients en IRCT serait pertinente pour limiter les complications et leur assurer une meilleure qualité de vie.

Published: September 2023

Plant-based beverages (PBBs) represent a growing global alternative to cow's milk. However, their development is strongly influenced by consumers' expectations of new foods introduced into the diet: environmental sustainability, balanced nutritional content, health aspects, and organoleptic properties. This study analyzes consumers' preferences and choice orientations towards plant-based beverages through the assessment of their eating style and concern towards environmental and health issues. To that end, an online questionnaire was conducted with a sample of 233 respondents living in the South-East area of Italy. Initially, principal component analyses were performed to identify distinct dimensions of individuals' orientation towards food quality, environment and health involvement. Then, the emerging dimensions were used as dependent variables for ANOVA comparisons between consumers and non-consumers of plant-based beverages, considering also individuals' preferences towards different PBBs. The main results showed a strong consumer concern for environmental sustainability issues, which was found as the main purchasing driver for plant-based beverage consumers. On the other hand, many respondents stated that they do not consume PBBs due to their negative organoleptic aspects and the unfamiliarity with these products. Furthermore, the individual's dietary style influences the consumption of plant-based beverages and, in particular, the search for nutritional and balanced compounds plays a key role in consumption choices. Finally, despite that the almonds cultivation for the traditional 'almond milk' production is typical in various Italian regions, consumers expressed averagely a weak connection with this product. In conclusion, considering our results, the market development of PPBs at a national level might be supported by marketing strategies dedicated to different individuals' profiles. At the same time, however, direct actions on the production process are needed to improve the organoleptic profile of these products and meet the dissatisfaction expressed by consumers.
Error bounds for linear complementarity problems of strong $ SDD_{1} $ matrices and strong $ SDD_{1} $-$ B $ matrices
Authors: Geng Yuanjie , Sun Deshu
Published: September 2023

In this paper, an error bound for linear complementarity problems of strong $ SDD $$ _{1} $ matrices is given. By properties of $ SDD $$ _{1} $ matrices, a new subclass of $ P $-matrices called $ SDD_{1} $-$ B $ is presented, which contains $ B $-matrices. A new error bound of linear complementarity problems for $ SDD_{1} $-$ B $ is also provided, which improves the corresponding results. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
On the identification of small anomaly in microwave imaging without homogeneous background information
Authors: Park Won-Kwang
Published: September 2023

For a successful application of subspace migration algorithm to retrieve the exact location and shape of small anomaly in microwave imaging, one must begin the reconstruction process under the assumption that complete information about the homogeneous background medium, such as background permittivity and conductivity, is available. In many studies, the statistical value of the background medium was adopted, raising the possibility of an incorrect value being applied. Thus, simulation results have been examined in order to identify cases in which an inaccurate location and shape of anomaly were retrieved. However, the theory explaining this phenomenon has not been investigated. In this paper, we apply an alternative wavenumber instead of the true one and identify the mathematical structure of the subspace migration imaging function for retrieving two-dimensional small anomaly by establishing a relationship with an infinite series of Bessel functions of the first kind. The revealed structure explains the reason behind the retrieval of an inaccurate location and shape of anomaly. The simulation results with synthetic data are presented to support the theoretical result.
Higher order hyperexpansivity and higher order hypercontractivity
Authors: Alshammari Hadi Obaid
Published: September 2023

As a natural extension of the concept of $ (m, p) $-hyperexpansive and $ (m, p) $-hypercontractive of a single operator, we introduce and study the concepts of $ (m, p) $-hyperexpansivity and $ (m, p) $-hypercontractivity for $ d $-tuple of commuting operators acting on Banach spaces. These concepts extend the definitions of $ m $-isometries and $ (m, p) $-isometric tuples of bounded linear operators acting on Hilbert or Banach spaces, which have been introduced and studied by many authors.
Boosting microscopic object detection via feature activation map guided poisson blending

Published: September 2023

Microscopic examination of visible components based on micrographs is the gold standard for testing in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. The application of object detection technology in bioimages not only improves the efficiency of the analyst but also provides decision support to ensure the objectivity and consistency of diagnosis. However, the lack of large annotated datasets is a significant impediment in rapidly deploying object detection models for microscopic formed elements detection. Standard augmentation methods used in object detection are not appropriate because they are prone to destroy the original micro-morphological information to produce counterintuitive micrographs, which is not conducive to build the trust of analysts in the intelligent system. Here, we propose a feature activation map-guided boosting mechanism dedicated to microscopic object detection to improve data efficiency. Our results show that the boosting mechanism provides solid gains in the object detection model deployed for microscopic formed elements detection. After image augmentation, the mean Average Precision (mAP) of baseline and strong baseline of the Chinese herbal medicine micrograph dataset are increased by 16.3% and 5.8% respectively. Similarly, on the urine sediment dataset, the boosting mechanism resulted in an improvement of 8.0% and 2.6% in mAP of the baseline and strong baseline maps respectively. Moreover, the method shows strong generalizability and can be easily integrated into any main-stream object detection model. The performance enhancement is interpretable, making it more suitable for microscopic biomedical applications.
Epidemiological Model for Conventional Tobacco Control Measures and Tobacco Endgame Policies
Authors: Kang Heewon , Cho Sung-il
Published: September 2023

Epidemiological models, also known as host-agent-vector-environment models, are utilized in public health to gain insights into disease occurrence and to formulate intervention strategies. In this paper, we propose an epidemiological model that incorporates both conventional measures and tobacco endgame policies. Our model suggests that conventional measures focus on relationships among agent-vector-host-environment components, whereas endgame policies inherently aim to change or eliminate those components at a fundamental level. We also found that the vector (tobacco industry) and environment (physical and social surroundings) components were insufficiently researched or controlled by both conventional measures and tobacco endgame policies. The use of an epidemiological model for tobacco control and the tobacco endgame is recommended to identify areas that require greater effort and to develop effective intervention measures.
Laver à bon marché
Authors: Guerry Linda , Lévy-Vroelant Claire
Published: September 2023

Cet article, issu d’une recherche inédite, retrace l’histoire du service public des bains et douches à bon marché, à tarif réduit ou gratuit, dans la ville de Saint-Étienne. Du milieu du xixe siècle, moment où les premiers projets émergent, aux années 1910, qui voient la construction des quatre établissements dans des quartiers ouvriers de la ville, les projets sont nombreux et suscitent d’édifiantes controverses. S’appuyant sur les archives municipales de Saint-Étienne, l’analyse des différents projets de bains municipaux montre l’émergence d’une politique publique d’hygiène, avec les tensions à l’œuvre dans l’élaboration et parfois l’échec de différents modèles de « bains populaires à bon marché ». Les projets successifs sont saisis dans leur dimension sociale et politique, mettant en scène une multiplicité d’acteurs et d’instances qui débattent, financent, contrarient ou promeuvent les modèles et les initiatives tant publiques que privées. L’article évoque en conclusion le devenir incertain de ces établissements.
Reconstruire des châteaux au xxe siècle ?
Authors: Crozet Fanny
Published: September 2023

Cet article analyse les processus de reconstruction mis en œuvre pour rebâtir les châteaux dans la région actuelle de Nouvelle-Aquitaine après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il vise à renouveler l’histoire de la Seconde Reconstruction dans deux directions différentes. D’une part, en portant sur une région qui avait, jusqu’à récemment, été peu étudiée, – à l’exception notable des villes de Royan et d’Oradour-sur-Glane –, et, d’autre part, en révélant une tache aveugle dans le récit de la Reconstruction, une typologie architecturale isolée et dispersée, grande absente des plans de reconstruction et d’aménagement (PRA) majoritairement étudiés. Ainsi, nous tenterons d’éclairer comment cette typologie s’est insérée dans le phénomène de reconstruction en s’adaptant au contexte matériel, mais aussi économique, de la Seconde Reconstruction. Il s’agit de comprendre comment l’architecture séculaire du château a été renouvelée pour intégrer des notions aussi prosaïques que celles de l’économie et de la rationalisation, qui lui étaient précédemment étrangères. En se fondant sur un corpus d’un peu moins d’une cinquantaine de châteaux, seront mis en valeur et détaillés les processus de reconstruction engagés, d’une part, sur le « petit patrimoine » castral sinistré, qui ne fait l’objet d’aucune mesure de protection patrimoniale, tout en appréhendant, d’autre part, ceux opérés sur des architectures castrales classées au titre des monuments historiques. Dans l’ombre des plans d’architecture des villes détruites, un nouveau type de patrimoine, conditionné par les contraintes économiques et les besoins nouveaux de l’ère contemporaine, émerge…
La salle de bains Art nouveau du château Laurens à Agde (Hérault)
Authors: Montamat Bruno
Published: September 2023

Au sein de ce parfait représentant de l’éclectisme décoratif en vogue autour de 1900 qu’est le château Laurens à Agde (Hérault), la salle de bains conçue par le Parisien Eugène-Martial Simas apparaît comme un exemple idéal des paradoxes de l’Art nouveau : un ensemble d’art décoratif unique conçu de manière rationnelle à partir de l’union de l’art et de l’industrie. En effet, ce décorateur de théâtre, attiré un temps par les arts industriels, a largement puisé dans les productions de la manufacture de faïences de Sarreguemines et de la maison parisienne Fontaine (serrurerie) pour imaginer une salle d’hygiène à la gloire des bienfaits de l’eau. Si la présence de carreaux et de serrureries créés par les ténors de L’Art dans Tout (Félix Aubert, Alexandre Charpentier) a longtemps fait passer Emmanuel Laurens, propriétaire du château, pour un esthète du Midi oublié, c’est en raison de la méconnaissance du rôle fondamental qu’ont pu jouer en province les tapissiers-décorateurs locaux, relais des nouvelles tendances décoratives auprès d’une bourgeoisie séduite par une certaine modernité. Enfin, par sa théâtralité, cette architecture de céramique s’inscrit dans un symbolisme subtil qui fait écho aux théories spirituelles de ce penseur nébuleux qu’était Laurens, félibre et grand admirateur du mythique ascétisme cathare pour lequel l’eau a des vertus purificatrices. Cette salle de bains de 1898 apparaîtrait alors comme le premier acte de fondation d’un lieu dédié au dépassement nietzschéen, issu d’un ésotérisme chrétien fin de siècle.
Les « valeurs de santé » de l’hôpital Beaujon à Clichy (Hauts-de-Seine) entre 1935 et 2023
Authors: Bonneau Lila
Published: September 2023

Cet article traite des principes d’hygiène intégrés dans le projet de l’hôpital Beaujon, inauguré à Clichy (actuel département des Hauts-de-Seine) en 1935 par l’Assistance publique (AP) et ses principaux maîtres d’œuvre, Jean Walter, Urbain Cassan et Louis Plousey. Ces principes tentent de participer à la lutte contre les fléaux sanitaires de l’époque (la tuberculose, le cancer, la syphilis, l’alcoolisme) et de remédier aux dégâts engendrés par la Première Guerre mondiale, à une époque où la société considère que l’environnement insalubre ou encore une hygiène inadaptée, avec de mauvaises habitudes sanitaires, peuvent contribuer au développement des maladies. À cet égard, l’établissement de soins devient le lieu qui offre aux malades les conditions optimales pour guérir. Cette proposition souhaite mettre en lumière les dispositifs architecturaux utilisés durant l’entre-deux-guerres pour contribuer à une amélioration des conditions d’hygiène, et donc à une meilleure santé des usagers (patients et membres du personnel) du premier hôpital de grande hauteur en France. Ces dispositifs, qui ont fait l’objet de transformations de même ordre depuis sa construction, forment aujourd’hui ce que nous pourrions appeler les « valeurs de santé » du site. Nous nous attacherons ainsi à introduire les enjeux actuels de son patrimoine architectural, urbain et paysager, dans le respect de l’œuvre originelle, face à la future désaffectation du site, prévue en 2030.
Un architecte hygiéniste au service de l’Hôpital général de Paris à la fin du xviiie siècle
Authors: Lauro Marc
Published: September 2023

Charles-François Viel (1745-1819) fut le dernier titulaire de la charge d’architecte de l’Hôpital général de Paris avant la disparition de cette institution en 17901. Il poursuivit sa carrière dans les années 1800 en tant qu’architecte des Hospices civils parisiens. Il participa alors, avec d’autres confrères, à la médicalisation du vaste patrimoine immobilier constitué des anciens bâtiments de l’Hôpital général ou des abbayes confisquées comme biens nationaux, avant d’être mis à disposition du département de la Seine sous la Convention thermidorienne. À ce titre, il fut chargé de la construction et de l’entretien de nombreux bâtiments hospitaliers dont la plupart disparurent au début du xxe siècle, tels que l’hospice Cochin ou l’infirmerie de la Pitié. Nous nous attacherons plus particulièrement à décrire les travaux entrepris par Viel pour alimenter en eau potable et évacuer les eaux sales dans les deux principaux établissements parisiens de l’Hôpital général qui, à la veille de la Révolution, accueillaient une population de 8 000 à 10 000 personnes : les maisons de la Salpêtrière et de Bicêtre.
Les bateaux-lavoirs lavallois ou l’exceptionnelle longévité d’une flotte buandière
Authors: Garnavault Sylvie
Published: September 2023

À l’origine étaient les « arrivoirs », espaces aménagés en bord de Mayenne et servant principalement de lavoirs. Sous le Second Empire, la municipalité de Laval entreprend la construction de quais pour protéger et assainir la ville, sujette aux inondations. C’est ainsi qu’apparaissent les premiers bateaux-lavoirs destinés à permettre aux laveuses, professionnelles ou non, d’accéder à la rivière. Élément pittoresque local, mais surtout lieu de travail et de sociabilité pour les « poules d’eau » qui y travaillent durement, la flotte buandière lavalloise compte vingt-trois embarcations à la fin du xixe siècle.En 1969, l’un des deux derniers bateaux-lavoirs encore à quai cesse son activité en raison de la démocratisation de la machine à laver. Il s’agit du Saint-Julien, bateau à fond plat et double pont construit dans le Maine-et-Loire en 1904. L’étage supérieur servait de buanderie, mais également de logement pour le patron-buandier et sa famille. La cale constituait le lavoir proprement dit et les deux chaudières occupant l’espace central chauffaient l’eau pour les cuves placées au-dessus. Le bateau pouvait accueillir jusqu’à une quarantaine de laveuses.Depuis leur achat par la Ville, le Saint-Julien et son ancien voisin de quai, le Saint-Yves, ont été classés monuments historiques. Après leur naufrage simultané et leur sauvetage en 2009, le premier a été restauré puis remis à l’eau à son emplacement primitif où il accueille à nouveau des visiteurs. Le second est toujours en attente de restauration.Uniques en France, le Saint-Julien et le Saint-Yves sont aujourd’hui les derniers témoins d’une activité traditionnelle à jamais disparue.

Du captage des sources jusqu’aux exhaures vers la Vienne en passant par les fontaines, se déploie à Limoges un vaste réseau souterrain qui accompagne l’expansion de la ville depuis l’Antiquité et en démultiplie les ramifications au cours des époques modernes et médiévales. Outre son étendue, ce réseau se démarque par une riche documentation qui invite à en restituer les contours : données réglementaires issues des archives consulaires, sources iconographiques et cartographiques de l’époque moderne, mais aussi des analyses archéologiques menées par l’association ArchéA sur les souterrains de Limoges. La confrontation de ces différentes sources éclaire la problématique de l’hygiène dans la ville médiévale et moderne en renseignant la matérialité des infrastructures publiques – aqueducs, fontaines et exhaures – tout comme l’hygiène privée à partir d’exemples de dispositifs découverts dans les immeubles anciens de Limoges.
La maison et le jardin de Maurice Ravel à Montfort-l’Amaury (Yvelines)
Authors: Chauvin Agnès , Didier Marie-Hélène
Published: September 2023

La maison et le jardin de Maurice Ravel à Montfort-l’Amaury (Yvelines) sont un précieux témoignage de la personnalité du compositeur qui les a aménagés et, plus largement, ils constituent un lieu de mémoire lié à la musique française et aux arts du début du xxe siècle. Pour les spécialistes, il s’agit là de la véritable exposition sur l’artiste. Cette maison et son jardin sont d’autant plus intéressants que, remplis de souvenirs, de rêves et de musique, ils forment une étonnante adéquation qui passionne les visiteurs. L’aménagement du jardin avec ses jeux d’eau, son plumetis de fleurs et son esprit japonisant fait référence à de nombreuses œuvres du compositeur. Cet endroit est un bel exemple de jardin qui a inspiré l’œuvre d’un musicien, mais aussi que la musique a inspiré. Cet article permet une réflexion sur le jardin, rarement évoqué, et attribue l’aménagement à Lucien Paré, paysagiste et horticulteur, issu de l’École d’horticulture de Versailles dont l’enseignement a fait l’objet de récentes études. La maison est distinguée par le label Maison des Illustres et la maison et le jardin sont classés au titre des monuments historiques depuis 2022.
Un panorama historique illustré des égouts parisiens aux Archives de Paris
Authors: Bouttier Ronan , Courtin Nicolas
Published: September 2023

Les Archives de Paris ont collecté en 2018 un ensemble unique de documents graphiques relatifs aux égouts de la Capitale à la fin du xixe siècle. À côté de plans retraçant l’évolution du réseau depuis le xviie siècle, il s’agit surtout de vues en coupe de voies parisiennes. Ces dernières montrent autant la vie à l’air libre de la Capitale autour de 1900 que les différents équipements enterrés sous la voie publique (égouts, canaux, chemin de fer, gaz…). Ces plans et aquarelles ont servi de support à la valorisation du système d’assainissement de Paris lors de l’Exposition universelle de 1900, dans une démarche à la fois pédagogique et d’autosatisfaction.Cette contribution vise à apporter quelques éléments sur le contexte d’élaboration de ces documents et à comprendre les raisons de la très grande attention que les services municipaux leur ont portée – jusqu’à leur oubli quasi complet au xxie siècle. Récemment restaurés, ces documents de grand format ont été numérisés et peuvent désormais être à nouveau consultés.
Investor relations: A bibliometric study in behavioral finance, behavioral economics and behavioral accounting
Authors: Modro Wilton Moisés , Poker Junior Johan Hendrik , Koshio Senichiro , Gaio Luiz Eduardo , Belli Márcio Marcelo
Published: September 2023

This study aims to verify the main characteristics of the scientific production on behavioral finance applied to the area of investor relations. Through a bibliometric research carried out in the Scopus database, 121 publications were found, which were analyzed by statistical and graphic techniques. The results indicate a numerically reduced and volatile production of articles on the subject, without robust growth so far. Few documents were found by author, institution, and journal, as well as a small number of connections, concerning citations, among them. This research area is thus largely unexplored within behavioral finance, although academic production in behavioral economics on the use of prospects for selling complex products is proportionally very broad. Bibliographic coupling indicated four main themes, the most relevant being the influence of the different disclosure means of financial information on investor behavior. These results suggest that the subject has not aroused the interest of researchers and that, although relevant, it is still little explored. On the other hand, the results indicate a broad field for further studies. These findings are relevant, since they allow a clear and comprehensive view on a relevant and still little explored theme.

Authors: Scheid Liara Laís , Sâmara Visentini Monize , Writzl Darlan Nei
Published: September 2023

Este estudo (i) mensura a atividade virtual dos municípios brasileiros e (ii) identifica se determinante financeiros, demográficos e políticos tendem a refletir em um maior ou menor grau dessa atividade. Ampliando-se um recente modelo teórico apresentado na literatura, ao total, quatorze determinantes são analisados, sendo dois financeiros, três demográficos e nove políticos. Os municípios foram selecionados de modo probabilístico, os dados coletados em bases disponíveis na internet e analisados por meio da estatística do teste T para amostras independentes. Quanto aos resultados, identificou-se que as fanpages das prefeituras brasileiras usam todas as tipologias de publicações para se comunicarem com os usuários, com predomínio de postagens no formato de imagens. Além disso, das variáveis testadas, apenas quatro pertencentes ao fator político não apresentaram diferença significativa nas médias da atividade virtual: reeleição, idade e sexo do gestor municipal e interesse dos cidadãos na fanpage. Conclui-se que a participação online dos cidadãos na gestão é importante, servindo de incentivo para que as autoridades públicas utilizem essa ferramenta como estratégia de comunicação e de interação entre governo e sociedade.

Published: September 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar como o nível de assertividade orçamentária de uma organização multinacional brasileira é influenciado por fatores comportamentais e operacionais. Utilizou-se técnicas quantitativas para análise de execução orçamentária de 290 centros de responsabilidade, e qualitativas por meio de análise de conteúdo de entrevistas com gestores-chave e observação participante para verificar quais elementos influenciam o nível de assertividade dos orçamentos da organização. Observou-se que a falta de assertividade pode prejudicar a organização no desenvolver de sua estratégia, pois representa objetivos importantes que não foram atingidos. Os elementos que mais influenciaram o nível de assertividade do orçamento no período analisado são a falta de qualidade dos planos orçamentários operacionais, a utilização do orçamento como instrumento de formalização para a remuneração variável, a morosidade das decisões no combate efetivo dos desvios, e o ambiente externo, devido à crise instaurada em 2015. A pesquisa fornece apoio para a construção de modelos estatísticos com as variáveis e contextos observados e, portanto, auxilia a verificação das relações de dependência face aos desvios orçamentários em outras organizações.
Desempenho e Concentração acionária no Brasil: As características dos Conselhos de Administração podem interferir nesta relação?
Authors: Dos Santos José Eliton
Published: September 2023

O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar o impacto de características dos conselhos de administração na relação entre o desempenho empresarial e a concentração acionária. Para tanto, foram utilizadas como amostra as empresas brasileiras não financeiras de capital aberto listadas na Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3) no período entre 2010 e 2020. Os dados da pesquisa foram extraídos na base de dados Economática e dos Formulários de Referência das empresas no site da Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM). O desempenho foi mensurado pelo retorno sobre os ativos (ROA) e pelo retorno sobre o patrimônio líquido (ROE), ao passo que a concentração acionária foi mensurada pelo percentual de participação do maior, dos três e cinco maiores acionistas. As características do conselho de administração analisadas foram a presença de conselheiros independentes, a formação de board interlocking e a dualidade do Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Os resultados mostraram que apenas a independência do conselho causa impacto positivo na relação entre o desempenho empresarial e a concentração acionária, o que na prática pode mostrar que a relação entre desempenho e concentração acionária é influenciada por elementos intrínsecos aos conselhos de administração que podem atenuar a expropriação de acionistas minoritários.

Published: September 2023

Phishing is one of the most serious issues now-a-days, and many internet users are falling prey to it. Website phishing is a major threat that focuses on developing spoofed sites as a legal ones. Phishers develop cloned websites and distribute the uniform resource locator (URLs) to a large number of people in the form of e-mail, short message service, or through social media. In the current scenario, phishing is the topmost cyber threat/cyber-attack that intrudes into the system to steal or capture sensitive information from the target. Machine learning methods, an important branch of artificial intelligence, are used to detect many critical problems. This chapter investigates the lexical features of website URLs to detect the phishing URL using wrapper-based feature selection on ensemble learning technique. To evaluate the model developed, the dataset from Mendeley repository is taken. The highest level of accuracy for the phishing websites was reached using bagging classifier with 95% accuracy compared with boosting algorithm.

Published: September 2023

In day to day life, the internet is becoming an essential part for making use of services like online banking or advertising. On the internet, just as in the real world, there are those who wish to harm others by taking advantage of trustworthy individuals anytime whenever money is exchanged. For accomplishing their goals, people intent with malicious software to harm the internet and this attack is named as Malware. The malware denotes as malevolent software which is installed in computer or mobile without awareness of owner or user. As a result, by looking into this malicious software, the IT team is better able to assess a security incident and help stop more infections from spreading to the victim's computer or server. For this kind of performance, IT responders typically look for solutions known technically as malware forensics. The importance of malware forensics has grown as the cybercrime community targets financial institutions, technological companies, and retail businesses with malicious software. This virus can be broken down into two categories: static malware and dynamic malware. While dynamic malware analysis offers various tools and code, static malware analysis has several limitations. As a result, dynamic malware analysis is often preferred in most contexts. This chapter deals with the study of malware types, how it is affecting the users, static malware limitations, and dynamic malware tools that are used for analyzing malicious software. Further focuses on issues, challenges that are facing in malware analysis and available online malware analysis tools that work on cloud along with feature research prospects.
Malware Mitigation Tools
Authors: Jeyshri J. , Sasirekha R.
Published: September 2023

Over time, malware attacks have become more frequent and sophisticated, causing substantial harm to organisations and individuals. In response, malware mitigation technologies have been created by cybersecurity specialists in order to identify, stop, and correct such assaults. Network traffic is monitored by intrusion detection and prevention systems, which also notify security professionals of possible threats. By preventing unwanted access to a network, firewalls give an extra degree of security. Untrusted software is isolated and run in a secure environment using sandboxing technologies to look for suspected malware activities. Instead of relying on malware's signature, behavioural analysis techniques identify malware by its activity. Despite the availability of these technologies, malware assaults continue to pose a serious danger, necessitating ongoing improvement and updating of mitigation strategies. Future developments in malware mitigation solutions, such as the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, will also be covered in this chapter.
