Comment l’intelligence artificielle peut répondre aux enjeux économiques de l’industrie de la gestion d’actifs
Authors: Faure Muriel 
Published: January 2020

Les services financiers, dont la gestion d’actifs, comme tous les secteurs économiques, seront profondément transformés par l’adoption des technologies digitales à horizon 2025 au bénéfice des clients et des acteurs. L’industrie française de la gestion d’actifs est une industrie clé de l’économie car elle prend le relais, aux côtés des banques, dans le financement des différentes étapes de la vie des entreprises. Ces acteurs, les sociétés de gestion de portefeuilles, sont environ 650, gèrent plus de 4 000 Md€ et représentent près de 100 000 emplois. Elles sont confrontées à d’importants enjeux stratégiques qui ont un impact sur la croissance de leur chiffre d’affaires et sur leurs marges. Comment y répondre ? Investir dans les technologies digitales. Les outils d’intelligence artificielle permettent d’améliorer la performance des fonds, de mieux connaître ses clients ou d’en capter de nouveaux, d’améliorer les processus opérationnels, de réduire le nombre d’intermédiaires, etc. Leur pénétration nécessitera de repenser la gestion de la donnée ainsi que la gestion du capital humain.

Les néobanques vont-elles bouleverser leur secteur d’activité ?
Authors: Clerc Laurent , Moraglia Arthur , Peyron Sylvain 
Published: January 2020

Les néobanques rassemblent un ensemble hétéroclite de nouveaux intermédiaires financiers, offrant des services bancaires en ligne ou via des applications mobiles. Leurs caractéristiques ont évolué depuis leur apparition dans les années 2000 ainsi que la nature de leurs relations avec les banques traditionnelles. Toutefois, leurs objectifs de rentabilité n’ont jusqu’à présent guère été atteints, en partie en raison de la difficulté et du coût d’acquisition de nouveaux clients. La nouvelle génération de néobanques, 100 % digitale et principalement accessible par des applications mobiles, est-elle de nature à bouleverser le paysage bancaire ?

Fintech et intermédiation : les éclairages de l’analyse économique
Authors: Gazé Pierre , Pollin Jean-Paul 
Published: January 2020

Cet article a pour objectif d’analyser les conséquences de l’émergence des Fintech sur les formes de l’intermédiation financière ainsi que sur le marché de la banque. L’idée selon laquelle les Fintech sont de nature à favoriser des types de financement décentralisés (à l’instar de ceux caractéristiques des marchés financiers) est discutée et relativisée. Par exemple, les plateformes de financement peuvent être analysées comme une forme de ré-intermédiation tant le rôle des banques y est important. Il est en outre montré que l’intermédiation de bilan conserve des spécificités telles que le développement des Fintech ne conduira pas à la disparition des modes d’intermédiation traditionnels. En revanche, les Fintech sont susceptibles de restructurer le marché de la banque en plaçant des firmes d’origine non bancaire – appelées Bigtech – dans une position concurrentielle privilégiée. Les Bigtech bénéficient de nouvelles économies d’envergure numériques liées à la production jointe de leurs activités de commerce électronique et de services bancaires. Enfin, les ressources des banques pour faire face à ces évolutions sont analysées.	Classification JEL : G21, G22, G23, G24.
L’aventurier de la Fortune : naissance d’un type politique au XVII e siècle
Authors: Amstutz Delphine 
Published: January 2020

Le terme aventurier se cantonne, jusqu’à la fin du XVI e siècle, à une acception strictement militaire. Il acquiert, au cours du siècle suivant, une signification politique plus large, qui engage une nouvelle appréciation de certaines notions morales comme l’ambition et signale une évolution des structures institutionnelles et sociales. Romans, traités de cour et mémoires témoignent plus particulièrement de cette mutation historique.
Transformations énergétiques sous contrainte écologique forte
Authors: Nadaï Alain , Wallenborn Grégoire 
Published: January 2020

L’idée d’une « transition » énergétique, processus pilotable dans un monde relativement stable et anticipable, semble arriver à son terme. Même le GIEC en appelle désormais à des « transformations » énergétiques rapides et radicales. Toutefois, malgré la prise de conscience de l’urgence climatique et de la perte dramatique de biodiversité, qui s’actualise notamment dans une série de manifestations et de luttes, la question du climat est trop rarement articulée à la question de l’énergie. Dans cette Majeure, nous explorons ce que pourraient vouloir dire ces transformations énergétiques et partons à la recherche des bonnes échelles pour agir et des récits pertinents pour inspirer les collectifs.
La servante géante
Authors: Inandiak Elizabeth D. 
Published: January 2020

Dans l’aube qui succéda à l’éruption du 26 octobre 2010, Bu Pujo succomba à ses brûlures. À cette nouvelle, le volcan disparut. Il ne restait plus, au nord, qu’un écran de nuages figés dans l’épouvante. Cela faisait un grand vide, un immense courant d’air froid dans lequel la montagne de feu avait été emportée. Au petit matin, le Merapi avait disparu parce que celle qui le portait était morte. Oui, Bu Pujo portait le volcan comme ces lourds paniers d’offrandes qu’elle chargeait sur son dos le jour de la procession. Elle en portait la responsabilité, comme son propre enfant, avec ses prodiges et ses tares. Voilà pourquoi Bu Pujo avait l’air d’une géante.
The Japanese Encephalitis Virus NS1′ Protein Inhibits Type I IFN Production by Targeting MAVS

Abstract
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne Flavivirus that causes severe neurologic disease in humans. NS1′ is a NS1-related protein only reported in the Japanese encephalitis serogroup members of Flavivirus. It is produced through programmed −1 ribosomal frameshift in NS2A. Our previous study demonstrated that JEV NS1′ could antagonize type I IFN (IFN-I) production, but the mechanism is still unclear. In the current study, we found that JEV NS1′ inhibits the expression of MAVS, and knockdown of MAVS hampers inhibition of IFN-β induction by NS1′, suggesting that JEV NS1′ inhibits IFN-I production by targeting MAVS. This finding is further supported by the result of the in vivo assay that showed the similar mortality caused by NS1′-deficient virus and its wild type virus in MAVS-deficient mice. Based on our previous sequencing results of noncoding RNA in JEV-infected cells, microRNA-22 (miR-22) was identified to be a key regulator for MAVS expression during JEV infection. Furthermore, we demonstrated that JEV NS1′ could induce the expression of miR-22 by increasing the binding of transcriptional factors, CREB and c-Rel, to the promoter elements of miR-22. Taken together, our results reveal a novel mechanism by which JEV NS1′ antagonizes host MAVS by regulating miR-22, thereby inhibiting the IFN-I production and facilitating viral replication.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the association between sporting experiences and the perception of team cohesion according to sex among youth Brazilian recreational athletes. Participants were 253 youth athletes with age average of 12.97 ± 0.98 years. Athletes represented the following sports: Indoor soccer (n=20); basketball (n=62); handball (n=123) and; volleyball (n=48). The instruments used were the Youth Experience Survey for Sport (P-YES-S) and the Youth Sport Environment Questionnaire (P-YSEQ). Independent sample t-test revealed significant difference between sexes in the dimensions of Personal Skills (p=0.02) and Task Cohesion (p=0.02). The following significant correlations were found for girls: Task Cohesion with Personal Skills (r=0.48), Initiative Experiences (r=0.37); and Social Cohesion with Personal Skills (r=0.41), Cognitive Skills (r=0.43) and Initiative Experiences (r=0.32). For boys, it was found the following correlations: Task Cohesion with Personal Skills (r=0.19), Initiative Experiences (r=0.42) and Negative Experiences (r=-0.22); and Social cohesion with Personal Skills (r=0.18) and Initiative Experiences (r=0.30). Multiple regression analysis indicated that sports experiences are significant predictors of task (R2=0.21; F=17.838; p<0.01) and social cohesion (R2=0.10; F=7.440; p<0.01). It can be concluded that positive sporting experiences may predict social and task cohesion among youth athletes.
Les enjeux de la cartographie sonore par rapport à la frontière de la neutralité
Authors: Leloup Rainier 
Published: January 2020

Les cartographies sonores émergent et se développent de plus en plus depuis les années 2000. À l’origine, il ne s’agissait que d’une simple représentation sonique d’un lieu, mais progressivement ces interfaces numériques ont basculées de « cartes » à « contre-cartes » par l’engagement social, culturel ou politique de leurs créateurs. Outre des ambiances sonores, ces « contre-cartes » révèlent des points de vue particuliers sur l’environnement quotidien d’un individu, sans se soumettre à un contrôle d’une quelconque autorité. Cet article observe les enjeux de ces créations à travers plusieurs exemples et propose un modèle d’analyse des indices topographiques d’un enregistrement sonore.
Les écrits des missionnaires oblats de Marie-Immaculée sur les Montagnais-Naskapis dans la seconde moitié du xixe siècle
Authors: Charest Paul 
Published: January 2020

Cet article est le résultat d’un long travail, échelonné sur plusieurs années dans des archives missionnaires et dans la littérature, visant à rassembler des écrits de nature ethnographique concernant les Montagnais-Naskapis (Innus) rédigés par les missionnaires oblats dans la seconde moitié duxixe siècle. Parmi des centaines de textes recueillis, vingt-huit ont été retenus et analysés à l’aide d’une liste de mots-clés regroupés sous seize thèmes correspondant au contenu général d’une monographie classique en anthropologie. La démarche adoptée se résume en trois points : constater la grande continuité culturelle entre les Montagnais duxviie siècle et ceux duxixe siècle ; comparer les informations du père Le Jeune sur la religion traditionnelle des Montagnais avec celles fournies par les pères oblats ; souligner les changements culturels vécus par eux dans la seconde moitié duxixe siècle. Les buts visés par l’auteur sont de faire connaître l’existence de ces textes aux chercheurs intéressés, d’en résumer le contenu et d’évaluer leur contribution ethnographique à la connaissance de la société et de la culture innues.
Les enjeux de la traduction d’ouvrages de sciences sociales sur les Autochtones au Québec
Authors: Raynault-Desgagné Patricia 
Published: January 2020

Cet article porte sur les enjeux traductologiques qui se sont posés lors de l’exercice de traduction du texte de Toby Morantz sur les Cris de la Baie-James, paru en 2002 chez McGill-Queen’s University Press. Les défis auxquels la traductrice a été confrontée l’ont amenée à se questionner de façon plus large sur les enjeux associés à la traduction et à la publication d’ouvrages anthropologiques portant sur les Autochtones au Québec. Dans un premier temps, cet article tente d’identifier certains éléments contextuels, notamment le contexte éditorial, qui permettraient d’expliquer la faible quantité de traductions d’ouvrages portant sur les Premières Nations et mettant en perspective le capital symbolique relatif des différents acteurs concernés par ce genre de publications ainsi que par ce sujet d’étude. Dans un deuxième temps, l’article aborde les enjeux associés à la traduction en soi d’une oeuvre anthropologique en cette ère postcoloniale. Est-il possible et souhaitable, pour les anthropologues eurocanadiens dont fait partie l’auteure de cet article, de participer à la « décolonisation » de l’histoire au moyen de la traduction d’un texte ethnohistorique, dans le contexte éditorial actuel au Québec ?
Diagrams of Power and Strategic Decision Making: the Case of Strategic Alliances in the Automotive Industry
Authors: Mladjan Mrdjan M. , Markovic Dusan Z. 
Published: January 2020

Research question: This paper, on the example of strategic alliances in the automotive industry, investigates how diagrams could be useful in studying complex power relationships. Motivation: The relative power of individuals and institutions is a crucial driving force of their interactions. It is however hard to evaluate because the interactions can take place simultaneously or sequentially in different markets or forums. Diagrams of power, that this study introduces, help us abstract the relative power of agents. This enables us to use insights of decision and game theory, especially those from the literature, in strategic decision making under uncertainty (Courtney, Kirkland, & Viguerie, 1997), to arrive at successful and sustainable solutions. They enable us to view relationships between firms as security dilemmas (Posen, 1993), which can explain why emerging market multinationals (EMMs) treat the acquired companies as strategic partners (Kale, Singh, & Raman, 2009). Idea: Diagrams of power and security dilemma help us better understand strategic alliances in the automotive industry. Moreover, we believe that diagrams of power could both offer new insights to scholars and represent an intuitive tool for businessmen and policy makers less experienced with advanced mathematical methods. Data: To quantify the power of several automotive producers, we have used selected contemporary data items from their annual reports and the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers. Tools: The tool we introduce to better understand power relationships between automotive producers are the diagrams of power. We then apply them to two cases from the industry to better understand the strategic interactions within alliances. Findings: We demonstrate that diagrams of power can help managers define the goals of strategic alliances, minimize the risks of their establishment and management, and recognize the problems and opportunities that arise in strategic partnerships due to security dilemmas, a concept that originated in the study of wars. Diagrams of power enrich the analytical toolkit of the existing literature, enabling faster understanding of the relationship between agents as well as decision making based on more complete information. Contribution: This paper introduces diagrams of power – a tool for study of strategic interactions – and applies the concept of security dilemma to the study of the automotive industry.
The Linkages Between Investments in Innovation and Business Performance in Serbia
Authors: Zakic Nebojsa , Popovic Jovanka , Miskic Miroslav 
Published: January 2020

Motivation: Driven by an increasingly competitive marketplace, the savviest businesses invest heavily in corporate innovation as a kind of competitive intelligence that gives a business what it needs to operate with poise and precision. The strategy of investments in innovation by firms can potentially explain the heterogeneity of their income increase based on market success. Such a stimulus for growth has been a motivation for the research question being examined in this paper, namely the link between corporate financing and investment decisions of Serbian firms based on the bank loans as sources of innovation and hence improved enterprise performance. The paper is based on the research of Hottenrott et al. (2014), together with Ferrando & Preuss (2017) and Aerts & Schmidt (2008) concerning the relationship between external finance and business innovation activities. This paper provides information about a bank loan as a financing source that firms use to fund their innovative activities, with the research question whether that has the subsequent impact on the company's performance. The idea of the paper is that investments of enterprises in innovation significantly affect their revenue. Data: Empirical research has been provided by a survey in Serbia in 2017. The sample comprised 152 enterprises, mostly privately owned, of all sizes. Descriptive statistics: Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, regression analysis is used as the research tool and method. The link between business finance and innovation, and furthermore the link between innovation and income of Serbian firms have been investigated. Three groups of factors show that the degree of income and market success of the enterprise increases with the level of investment in innovative activities. These are: sources of financing and financing conditions as independent variables, and company's income revenues, as the dependent variable. Findings: Firms that use bank loans as financial instruments for innovation activities and investments are more likely to develop new products, methods and processes, and successfully increase their revenues and income based on developing this kind of added value. The findings indicate that tangible asset investment of SME’s is positively related to the use of bank finance, to new product development and to enterprise performance improvement. Contribution: Results of the research show that financial investments in business innovation directly contribute to the business sector performance improvement. It also demonstrates the theory of innovative enterprise, the significance of financing, and the impact of banking on the overall development of the economy. The results point to the need for further research in the area of​​ access to finance, as well as the parallel development of non-banking sources of financing.
Organizational culture and perceived effectiveness: a case study of an insurance company
Authors: Slijepcevic Milica , Krstic Jelena 
Published: January 2020

Research question: This paper studies the relation between organizational culture and perceived organizational effectiveness of an insurance company in a developing country with an emerging economy.Motivation: The main objective of the research is to determine whether there is a correlation between organizational culture and climate as a narrower concept, on the one hand and perceived organizational effectiveness on the other hand. Some authors noted a correlation between these organizational aspects. For example, Yan (2016) empirically confirmed that organizational culture positively and significantly correlates with organizational effectiveness. The relationship between organizational culture and organizational effectiveness was also examined by Cox and Trotter (2016), Chen (2017) and Deem, De Lotell and Kelly (2015). Idea: Starting from the findings of other authors that organizational culture indeed affects effectiveness, the authors of this paper wanted to examine whether this relation existed in a state-owned insurance company in an emerging economy and if so, how to use this to improve employees’ performance and overall business results. Data: They conducted the research in June 2017 on the sample of employees of Dunav Insurance Company and obtained six hundred and sixty six valid questionnaires. Tools: The questionnaires consisted of five general questions about demographic variables and twenty-nine closed-ended questions related to the topic. The researchers assessed the correlation between variables by Spearman Rho Coefficient and Chi-Square significance. Findings: The results showed the relationship between a number of aspects of organizational culture and climate on one hand and perceived organizational effectiveness on the other hand. Research results showed that the evaluation of effective utilization of working hours and professional capabilities is largely connected with the aspects of organizational climate that reflect poor working conditions and unethical attitude of employees. However, the evaluation of effective utilization of professional capabilities also relates to the perception of predominant aspects of an organizational climate that inspire positive internal relations. Contribution: The results presented in the paper can be used as the basis for organizational and managerial decision-making to improve work processes in the observed organization.
The complement system in Aspergillus fumigatus infections and its crosstalk with pentraxins
Authors: Parente Raffaella , Doni Andrea , Bottazzi Barbara , Garlanda Cecilia , Inforzato Antonio 
Published: January 2020

Aspergillosis is a life‐threatening infection mostly affecting immunocompromised individuals and primarily caused by the saprophytic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. At the host–pathogen interface, both cellular and humoral components of the innate immune system are increasingly acknowledged as essential players in the recognition and disposal of this opportunistic mold. Fundamental hereof is the contribution of the complement system, which deploys all three activation pathways in the battle against A. fumigatus, and functionally cooperates with other soluble pattern recognition molecules, including pentraxins. In particular, preclinical and clinical observations point to the long pentraxin PTX3 as a nonredundant and complement‐dependent effector with protective functions against A. fumigatus. Based on past and current literature, here we discuss how the complement participates in the immune response to this fungal pathogen, and illustrate its crosstalk with the pentraxins, with a focus on PTX3. Emphasis is placed on the molecular mechanisms underlying such processes, the genetic evidence from human epidemiology, and the translational potential of the currently available knowledge.
In Vitro Platform for Studying Human Insulin Release Dynamics of Single Pancreatic Islet Microtissues at High Resolution

Published: January 2020

AbstractInsulin is released from pancreatic islets in a biphasic and pulsatile manner in response to elevated glucose levels. This highly dynamic insulin release can be studied in vitro with islet perifusion assays. Herein, a novel platform to perform glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) assays with single islets is presented for studying the dynamics of insulin release at high temporal resolution. A standardized human islet model is developed and a microfluidic hanging‐drop‐based perifusion system is engineered, which facilitates rapid glucose switching, minimal sample dilution, low analyte dispersion, and short sampling intervals. Human islet microtissues feature robust and long‐term glucose responsiveness and demonstrate reproducible dynamic GSIS with a prominent first phase and a sustained, pulsatile second phase. Perifusion of single islet microtissues produces a higher peak secretion rate, higher secretion during the first and second phases of insulin release, as well as more defined pulsations during the second phase in comparison to perifusion of pooled islets. The developed platform enables to study compound effects on both phases of insulin secretion as shown with two classes of insulin secretagogs. It provides a new tool for studying physiologically relevant dynamic insulin secretion at comparably low sample‐to‐sample variation and high temporal resolution.
