Authors: Dahlab Ania 
Published: November 2020

There is no need to prove or argue that the company continues to be the pillar of a sustainable economy by representing the only bulwark of the market economy.In the current global context of fierce global competition, the lack of quality within the Algerian company has become an imperative for competitiveness, sustainability and development, which creates a certain framework for improving productivity and organizational and managerial success. And its perfect mastery, through its good transmission and integration through training and skills development, can promote better performance.
Given the importance of training in the success of the QMS set up. Several companies have taken steps to monitor it by setting up an audit structure. The practice of an audit is essential for a company that is part of a continuous improvement process.
This article is the result of field work, for this contribution, we were able to take the elements collected during a survey carried out within the company ENIEM (National Company of the Household Appliances Industries). This is an Algerian public economic company. The survey, as a research tool, not only allowed us to understand the place of training in HRM, but also to take the opportunity to highlight the steps that were used to conduct a Training Audit.

Published: November 2020

"Mind the gap!" is an expression meaning a visual or audible warning phrase to take caution while crossing the gap between the train door and the platform. The subject of this paper is to highlight the existing inequalities, even the case of East-West, and the necessity that, by political will and concrete economic and social measures, not only by warnings, mitigate these disparities for the benefit of the parties concerned.
This means that, through continuous political awareness of these inequalities, paying attention to this scourge of today’s world and implementing such measures in order to ensure a strategic game type win-win.
The methods used in this paper are represented by primary data collected from international reports and situations about the status of today’s world countries and national analyses published. All these data and information become base for the analyses of this issue and the emergence of valuable recommendations, rather than conclusions, regarding the counterbalance East and West, apart from the famous and classic example of David Ricardo regarding the theory of the international trade between the rich and developed North and the poor and underdeveloped/developing South, in Europe and the world.
Awareness, alertness and prompt responses to all challenges and a balanced development type win-win, here they are the keys for a modus vivendi and sustainable evolution.

Probabilistic retrieval of volcanic SO2 layer height and partial column density using the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS)
Authors: Hyman David M. , Pavolonis Michael J. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract. During most volcanic eruptions and many periods of volcanic unrest, detectable quantities of sulfur dioxide (SO2) are injected into the atmosphere at a wide range of altitudes, from ground level to the lower stratosphere. Because the fine ash fraction of a volcanic plume is, at times, colocated with SO2 emissions, global tracking of volcanic SO2 is useful in tracking the hazard long after ash detection becomes dominated by noise. Typically, retrievals of SO2 vertical column density (VCD) have relied heavily on hyperspectral ultraviolet measurements. More recently, infrared sounders have provided additional VCD measurements and estimates of the SO2 layer altitude, adding significant value to real-time monitoring of volcanic emissions and climatological analyses. These methods can provide fast and accurate physics-based retrievals of VCD and altitude without regard to solar irradiance, meaning that they are effective day and night and can observe high-latitude SO2 even in the winter. In this study, we detail a probabilistic enhancement of an infrared SO2 retrieval method, based on a modified trace gas retrieval, to estimate SO2 VCD and altitude probabilistically using the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) on the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) series of satellites. The methodology requires the characterization of real SO2-free spectra aggregated seasonally and spatially. The probabilistic approach replaces altitude and VCD estimates with probability density functions for the layer height and the partial VCD at multiple heights, fully quantifying the retrieval uncertainty and allowing the estimation of SO2 partitioning by layer. This framework adds significant value over basic VCD and altitude retrieval because it can be used to assign probabilities of SO2 occurrence to different atmospheric intervals. We highlight analyses of several recent significant eruptions, including the 22 June 2019 eruption of Raikoke volcano, in the Kuril Islands; the mid-December 2016 eruption of Bogoslof volcano, in the Aleutian Islands; and the 26 June 2018 eruption of Sierra Negra volcano, in the Galapagos Islands. This retrieval method is currently being implemented in the VOLcanic Cloud Analysis Toolkit (VOLCAT), where it will be used to generate additional cloud object properties for real-time detection, probabilistic characterization, and tracking of volcanic clouds in support of aviation safety.

De waarde van lerend evalueren in de praktijk: ervaringen van onderzoekers en beleidsbetrokkenen van de lerende evaluatie van het Natuurpact (2014-2017)
Nederland staat voor forse en complexe beleidsopgaven. Deze opgaven vragen om een bijzondere beleidsaanpak met een aansluitende wijze van beleidsevaluatie – namelijk één die leren ondersteunt om iteratief de kwaliteit van het beleid te verbeteren en de weg naar de beleidsambities te vinden. Beleidsonderzoekers en beleidsbetrokkenen werken in lerende evaluaties samen om kennis te produceren voor het gelijktijdig verantwoorden en leren van beleid. Verondersteld wordt dat de kwaliteit en bruikbaarheid van de geproduceerde kennis met deze benadering groter zijn dan bij reguliere, op verantwoording georiënteerde, evaluatiemethoden. Als gevolg daarvan zou lerend evalueren meer impact hebben op beleid voor complexe opgaven. In dit artikel wordt aandacht besteed aan de waarde van lerend evalueren vanuit het perspectief van beleidsbetrokkenen en beleidsonderzoekers van de lerende evaluatie van het Natuurpact (2014-2017), uitgevoerd door het PBL en de WUR. Geconcludeerd wordt dat lerend evalueren de kwaliteit, bruikbaarheid en impact (minder aantoonbaar) van de geproduceerde kennis vergroot, maar onder specifieke voorwaarden: namelijk wanneer onderzoekers erin slagen om leren en verantwoorden, met de bijbehorende rollen en kwaliteitsstandaarden, te benaderen als wederzijds versterkend in plaats van tegenstrijdig. Onderzoekers hebben voelsprieten nodig voor de wisselwerking tussen het proces van kennisproductie en de politiek-bestuurlijke context waarin deze kennis wordt gebruikt. Zowel in de beleids- als onderzoekspraktijk is ruimte nodig voor een verbrede kijk op de functie van beleidsevaluatie om lerend evalueren toe te kunnen passen.
Migration and Time: Duration as an Instrument to Welcome or Restrict

Migration and Time: Duration as an Instrument to Welcome or Restrict
States apply different material conditions to attract or restrict residence of certain types of migrants. But states can also make use of time as an instrument to design more welcoming or more restrictive policies. States can apply faster application procedures for desired migrants. Furthermore, time can be used in a more favourable way to attract desired migrants in regard to duration of residence, access to a form of permanent residence and protection against loss of residence. This contribution makes an analysis of how time is used as an instrument in shaping migration policy by the European Union (EU) legislator in the context of making migration more or less attractive. This analysis shows that two groups are treated more favourably in regard to the use of time in several aspects: EU citizens and economic- and knowledge-related third-country nationals. However, when it comes to the acquisition of permanent residence after a certain period of time, the welcoming policy towards economic- and knowledge-related migrants is no longer obvious.

Aim. Analysis of the allelic composition of the csLV34 locus and the microsatellite locus Xgwm295 for the detection of the Lr34/Yr18/Sr57/Pm38/Bdv1 gene, which determines the resistance of modern wheat varieties of domestic breeding of diseases: leaf rust and powdery mildew. Methods. Molecular genetic (DNA isolation, polymerase chain reaction, electrophoresis of amplification products) and phytopathological methods. Results. A study of soft wheat varieties of Ukrainian breeding was carried out. Two csLV34a and csLV34b alleles were identified that correlate with the absence and presence of the Lr34/Yr18/Sr57/Pm38/Bdv1 gene. 17.6 % of the cultivars tested were found to have the csLV34b allele, which is associated with the presence of the Lr34/Yr18/Sr57/Pm38/Bdv1 gene and resistance to brown rust. Conclusions. PCR revealed six varieties of soft wheat that contain the allele csLV34b, which is associated with the presence of the gene Lr34/Yr18/Sr57/Pm38/Bdv1. The information obtained can be used in breeding programs to create new varieties resistant to disease. Keywords: leaf rust, powdery mildew, soft wheat, polymerase chain reaction, varieties, stability.

Aim. To study environmental factors and heredity in families of girls with hypomenstrual syndrome. Methods. Clinical and genealogical analysis was conducted in 66 families of girls with hypomenstrual syndrome (HMS) in the Laboratory of Medical Genetics of the Institute for Children and Adolescents Health Care at the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine. The data were analyzed statistically using Excel and SPSS Statistics 17.0 programs. Results. Based on the clinical and genealogical analysis conducted in families of sick girls, negative environmental factors (mother's bad habits before pregnancy, pathological course of pregnancy and Caesarean section for medical reasons in mothers of girls; stress of girls at educational institution, Internet addiction etc.) have been determined. Family accumulation of gynecological (non inflammatory) and endocrine diseases has been established. Conclusions. Negative environmental factors and hereditary burden concerning gynecological pathology in 59.1 % of families have been set, and transfer of pathological signs was likely more frequently observed by the maternal line (79.2 %) than by paternal line (8.3 %) and both lines simultaneously (12.5 %). The incidence of gynecological diseases in 5.7 times, and endocrine – in 1.8 times exceeded their frequency in relatives of healthy girls.

Seuils et entre-deux dans l’oeuvre d’Henri Bosco
Authors: Squatrito Stefana 
Published: November 2020

Portés à l’introversion et souvent solitaires, les héros des romans de Henri Bosco semblent toujours hésiter entre un « ici » rassurant et protecteur et un « au-delà » fascinant, mais inquiétant, parce qu’inconnu. Entre ces deux univers antithétiques, surgissent des seuils, des frontières ou des limites qui représentent, pour les protagonistes, autant d’attirances et de tentations, et qui font survenir, dans leurs esprits, un besoin urgent de les franchir. Ces seuils jouent un rôle capital pour l’imagination poétique car ils sont les éléments déclencheurs qui permettent la progression – dans une optique initiatique – de la diégèse. Dans cet article, nous analysons différents types de seuils : les simples frontières topologiques qui ont le pouvoir de séparer et / ou d’unir deux espaces ; les seuils temporels ; les situations liminaires au niveau des états de conscience, comme tous les états intermédiaires entre le sommeil et la veille, très fréquents dans l’oeuvre de Bosco. Nous concluons sur le franchissement du seuil corporel qui aboutit à des expériences liminaires entre la conscience et le délire hallucinatoire.
Meursault entre voix et texte : la monotonie de la ponctuation dans L’Étranger d’Albert Camus
Authors: Cagnan Edoardo 
Published: November 2020

On remarque dans L’Étranger un emploi surprenant de la ponctuation : Camus semble privilégier une ponctuation « structurelle » (point, virgule, deux-points, point-virgule et tiret) plutôt qu’une ponctuation « expressive » (point d’exclamation, point d’interrogation, points de suspension), en particulier dans des séquences de discours rapporté. Cette « monotonie de la ponctuation » empêche le lecteur d’entendre la voix qui précède le texte et celle qui rapporte les discours : elle les déforme en leur attribuant un autre ton et, parfois, un sens différent. Rare mais systématique, cette perturbation de l’énonciation est significative s’agissant du personnage de Meursault et du récit en général. Cet article analyse ces phénomènes de ponctuation, qui permettent de décrire le rapport absurde du narrateur au langage et de comprendre le rapport ironique de l’auteur à son style, l’écriture blanche constituant un processus de distanciation de lui-même.
Parametric Study of Matisaa Gray Rock as a Potential Clinker Material
Authors: Geoffrey Mwendwa , Isaac Motochi , Fredrick Otieno 
Published: November 2020

This study aimed at evaluating Matisaa gray rock (MGR) for clinker production. MGR is naturally abundant in Matisaa, a rural area in Mwingi West District, Kitui county, Kenya. It is locally used as a gabion filler and other concrete structures with desirable physico-mechanical properties. This research employed a controlled experimental design to determine the clinker qualification of MGR. This was based on particle size analysis and raw meal moduli. The standard sieve tests and a Blaine meter were used in the determination of particle size while the raw meal moduli were determined from the respective cement oxides in MGR, which were determined using wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer. It was observed that 69.65% of the particle size composition of MGR was less than 90 . Out of this composition, 71.60% of the particle sizes were less than 45 , contributing to a specific surface area of 292.5 . The hydraulic modulus (2.05 – 2.61) and lime saturation factor (0.87 – 0.98) are quite desirable though the silica and alumina ratios are higher than the standard range due to the low proportions of and content. The sulfatisation modulus is also undesirable due to the high content of . Thus, without beneficiation, Matisaa gray rock would lead to the production of low-quality clinker. However, the general parametric comparison of Matisaa gray rock with Konza shows that it has the potential for utilization as a clinker raw material.
Gaze behaviour of experienced and novice beach lifeguards – An exploratory in situ study
Authors: Vansteenkiste Pieter , Lenoir Matthieu , Bourgois Jan G. 
Published: November 2020

SummaryFor lifeguards, recognizing a swimmer in trouble is a key factor in the rescue process. Although reports show that lifeguards outperform non‐lifeguards in their surveillance task, it is unclear to what extent this difference is reflected in gaze behaviour. In the current study, gaze behaviour of nine novice and seven experienced beach lifeguards was recorded for 45 min while they were on active duty. Results showed that fixation duration of experienced lifeguards was longer and more variable than that of novice lifeguards, and that these differences were more pronounced when looking at the task‐relevant region (i.e., swimming zone). Compared to experienced lifeguards, novices were found to be more distracted by the task‐irrelevant regions when there were more people swimming. These findings suggest that experienced lifeguards use a more flexible and task‐related gaze strategy, and that there might be differences in visual information processing between novice and experienced beach lifeguards.
Switching On and Off Macrophages by a “Bridge‐Burning” Coating Improves Bone‐Implant Integration under Osteoporosis

Published: November 2020

AbstractOsteoporosis poses substantial challenges for biomaterials implantation. New approaches to improve bone‐implant integration should resolve the fundamental dilemma of inflammation—proper inflammation is required at early stages but should be suppressed later for better healing, especially under osteoporosis. However, precisely switching on and off inflammation around implants in vivo remains unachieved. To address this challenge, a “bridge‐burning” coating material that comprises a macrophage‐activating glycan covalently crosslinked by a macrophage‐eliminating bisphosphonate to titanium implant surface is designed. Upon implantation, the glycan instructs host macrophages to release pro‐osteogenic cytokines (“switch‐on”), promoting bone cell differentiation. Later, increasingly mature bone cells secrete alkaline phosphatase to cleave the glycan‐bisphosphonate complexes from the implant, which in turn selectively kill the proinflammatory macrophages (“switch‐off”) that have completed their contribution—hence in the manner of “burning bridges”—to promote healing. In vivo examination in an osteoporotic rat model demonstrates that this coating significantly enhances bone‐implant integration (88.4% higher contact ratio) through modulating local inflammatory niches. In summary, a bioresponsive, endogenously triggered, smart coating material is developed to sequentially harness and abolish the power of inflammation to improve osseointegration under osteoporosis, which represents a new strategy for designing immunomodulatory biomaterials for tissue regeneration.
