Nature de l’engagement du créateur et choix du statut de son entreprise
Authors: Hentic-Giliberto Michelle , Paturel Robert 
Published: January 2018

Alors que la qualité d’un projet entrepreneurial est essentiellement mesurée sur des critères financiers par les partenaires investisseurs et banquiers des entrepreneurs, le développement d’affaires aux structures allégées telle la micro-entreprise suggère l’examen d’autres critères. La dialogique, porteur de projet – projet, estimée par l’engagement dans la création de l’activité, semble un paramètre déterminant des phases précoces du projet entrepreneurial. Avec l’aide des paradigmes entrepreneuriaux et à partir d’une collecte importante de données, la recherche soumet une mesure de l’engagement entrepreneurial et cherche à améliorer l’évaluation de la faisabilité et viabilité initiale du projet de création d’affaires.
Strategic Management Culture & Foreign Partnership: Algerian-Foreign Companies Case
Authors: Samia Benzaim , Rebai Djermane 
Published: January 2018

Toutes les entreprises algériennes, malgré leurs différences, ont le plus souvent un comportement culturel similaire. L’évaluation de la conformité de la culture du partenaire serait donc intéressante pour analyser la gestion stratégique des projets communs entre entreprises algériennes et étrangères. Dans ce contexte, le but de cet article est de connaître les principales dimensions culturelles qui pourraient influencer les performances de gestion stratégique des partenariats algéro-étrangers. Une enquête a été réalisée à partir de données d’entretiens provenant de 190 managers et employés de 10 organisations en partenariat ou ayant établi une expérience avec une entreprise étrangère. Les résultats portent sur les distances qui ont le plus d’influence sur la performance de la gestion stratégique du partenariat algéro-étranger. Cette étude pourrait être la première du genre traitant de l’économie algérienne et la tentative d’examiner le rôle de la distance culturelle dans la performance de gestion stratégique et comment elle affecte la réalisation des objectifs de partenariats algéro-étrangers.
Grande distribution et ressorts de l’engagement dans la relation de service. À propos des accrochages en caisse
Authors: Waelli Mathias , Fache Philippe 
Published: January 2018

Depuis 20 ans, les caissiers de la grande distribution ont fait l’objet de nombreuses investigations. Cependant, la gestion de la relation client y est longtemps restée dans l’ombre des rapports salariaux et de la flexibilité horaire. L’objectif de cet article est de saisir ce qui incite les caissiers à s’engager dans une relation de service. En prenant appui sur des observations et des récits d’accrochages avec des clients, il révèle des valeurs communes qui sous-tendent les pratiques de service du personnel au contact. Des « valeurs » dont l’origine se situe en dehors des organisations et qui – paradoxalement – s’y trouve souvent contrariée par des modalités de reconnaissance du travail axées prioritairement sur la productivité et le contrôle. D’un point de vue managérial, cette contradiction constitue aujourd’hui un obstacle majeur à l’engagement des caissiers dans la relation de service.

Le RGPD en 4 leçons pour les retardataires
Authors: Bernier Claire 
Published: January 2018

Le futur Règlement général européen relatif à la protection des données personnelles, le « RGPD », suscite l’émotion et fait couler beaucoup d’encre depuis plusieurs mois - et le fera encore sûrement jusqu’à son entrée en vigueur le 25 mai prochain. Certes, le RGPD est un bouleversement à maints égards. Si certains le présentent comme une nouvelle législation imposant des obligations et responsabilités additionnelles importantes aux entreprises et entraînant des coûts substantiels pour une mise en conformité, d’autres le voient comme une réelle opportunité de connaissance approfondie des données, notamment personnelles, gérées par leurs entreprises permettant d’initialiser une stratégie tant de « big data » (pour mieux appréhender leurs ressources et leurs potentielles exploitations) que d’optimisation des services offerts à leurs clients (pour améliorer leur positionnement sur le marché). Mais que prévoit vraiment le RGPD et qu’impliquent ses dispositions pour les entreprises ? Il paraît essentiel de comprendre - dans les très grandes lignes et en résumé (173 considérants et 99 articles) - ce qu’est et ce que change le RGDP avant d’élaborer et de démarrer tout programme de mise en conformité pour que l’entreprise puisse mieux identifier et adapter ses actions et contrôler, voire limiter, ses coûts et assurer la pérennité des investissements consentis pour être en conformité.

A School-Based Neuromuscular Training Program and Sport-Related Injury Incidence: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Authors: Foss Kim D. Barber , Thomas Staci , Khoury Jane C. , Myer Gregory D. , Hewett Timothy E. 
Published: January 2018

Context: An estimated 40 million school-aged children (age range = 5−18 years) participate annually in sports in the United States, generating approximately 4 million sport-related injuries and requiring 2.6 million emergency department visits at a cost of nearly $2 billion.Objective: To determine the effects of a school-based neuromuscular training (NMT) program on sport-related injury incidence across 3 sports at the high school and middle school levels, focusing particularly on knee and ankle injuries.Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial.Setting: A total of 5 middle schools and 4 high schools in a single-county public school district.Patients or Other Participants: A total of 474 girls (222 middle school, 252 high school; age = 14.0 ± 1.7 years, height = 161.0 ± 8.1 cm, mass = 55.4 ± 12.2 kg) were cluster randomized to an NMT (CORE; n = 259 athletes) or sham (SHAM; n = 215 athletes) intervention group by team within each sport (basketball, soccer, and volleyball).Intervention(s): The CORE intervention consisted of exercises focused on the trunk and lower extremity, whereas the SHAM protocol consisted of resisted running using elastic bands. Each intervention was implemented at the start of the season and continued until the last competition. An athletic trainer evaluated athletes weekly for sport-related injuries. The coach recorded each athlete-exposure (AE), which was defined as 1 athlete participating in 1 coach-directed session (game or practice).Main Outcome Measure(s): Injury rates were calculated overall, by sport, and by competition level. We also calculated rates of specific knee and ankle injuries. A mixed-model approach was used to account for multiple injuries per athlete.Results: Overall, the CORE group reported 107 injuries (rate = 5.34 injuries/1000 AEs), and the SHAM group reported 134 injuries (rate = 8.54 injuries/1000 AEs; F1,578 = 18.65, P &lt; .001). Basketball (rate = 4.99 injuries/1000 AEs) and volleyball (rate = 5.74 injuries/1000 AEs) athletes in the CORE group demonstrated lower injury incidences than basketball (rate = 7.72 injuries/1000 AEs) and volleyball (rate = 11.63 injuries/1000 AEs; F1,275 = 9.46, P = .002 and F1,149 = 11.36, P = .001, respectively) athletes in the SHAM group. The CORE intervention appeared to have a greater protective effect on knee injuries at the middle school level (knee-injury incidence rate = 4.16 injuries/1000 AEs) than the SHAM intervention (knee-injury incidence rate = 7.04 injuries/1000 AEs; F1,261 = 5.36, P = .02). We did not observe differences between groups for ankle injuries (F1,578 = 1.02, P = .31).Conclusions: Participation in an NMT intervention program resulted in a reduced injury incidence relative to participation in a SHAM intervention. This protective benefit of NMT was demonstrated at both the high school and middle school levels.
Balance Regularity Among Former High School Football Players With or Without a History of Concussion
Authors: Schmidt Julianne D. , Terry Douglas P. , Ko Jihyun , Newell Karl M. , Miller L. Stephen 
Published: January 2018

Context:
Subclinical postural-control changes may persist beyond the point when athletes are considered clinically recovered postconcussion.

Objective:
To compare postural-control performance between former high school football players with or without a history of concussion using linear and nonlinear metrics.

Design:
Case-control study.

Setting:
Clinical research laboratory.

Patients or Other Participants:
A total of 11 former high school football players (age range, 45–60 years) with 2 or more concussions and 11 age- and height-matched former high school football players without a history of concussion. No participant had college or professional football experience.

Main Outcome Measure(s):
Participants completed the Sensory Organization Test. We compared postural control (linear: equilibrium scores; nonlinear: sample and multiscale entropy) between groups using a 2 × 3 analysis of variance across conditions 4 to 6 (4: eyes open, sway-referenced platform; 5: eyes closed, sway-referenced platform; 6: eyes open, sway-referenced surround and platform).

Results:
We observed a group-by-condition interaction effect for medial-lateral sample entropy (F2,40 = 3.26, P = .049, ηp2 = 0.140). Participants with a history of concussion presented with more regular medial-lateral sample entropy values (0.90 ± 0.41) for condition 5 than participants without a history of concussion (1.30 ± 0.35; mean difference = −0.40; 95% confidence interval [CI] = −0.74, −0.06; t20 = −2.48, P = .02), but conditions 4 (mean difference = −0.11; 95% CI: −0.37, 0.15; t20 = −0.86, P = .40) and 6 (mean difference = −0.25; 95% CI: −0.55, 0.06; t20 = −1.66, P = .11) did not differ between groups.

Conclusions:
Postconcussion deficits, detected using nonlinear metrics, may persist long after injury resolution. Subclinical concussion deficits may persist for years beyond clinical concussion recovery.
THERMOREVERSIBLE CROSS-LINKING OF RUBBER COMPOUNDS: FROM PROOF-OF-CONCEPT TOWARD AN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS
Authors: Polgar L. M. , Keizer J. , Blom R. , Niemeijer B. , de With T. , Picchioni F. , van Duin M. 
Published: January 2018

ABSTRACT
It is demonstrated that the concept of thermoreversible cross-linking of functionalized maleic anhydride grafted ethylene–propylene (EPM-g-MA) rubber using Diels–Alder chemistry is limited neither to laboratory scale using a solvent route nor to gum rubber. The use of an internal mixer is the first step toward an industrial process, since it greatly reduces the processing time and allows for a solventless process for the furan-functionalization and subsequent bismaleimide cross-linking of EPM rubber. Practical rubber compounds were prepared by mixing thermoreversibly cross-linked EPM with carbon black and mineral oil in the same batch mixer. This resulted in reinforcement of the rubber without affecting the thermoreversible character of the cross-linking. The pendant furan groups of the (non)cross-linked EPM-g-furan interact with the carbon black filler. Finally, crystalline EPM rubber compounds were prepared, which show excellent material properties and property retention over multiple reprocessing cycles.
Detection of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) gene in Non-Small Cell lung Cancer (NSCLC) By CISH Technique
Authors: AlBayyaa Mohanad Ali , Abdulmajeed Ban A. 
Published: January 2018

Background/Aim: Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) rearrangement has evaluated activity of NSCLC compared with other molecular subtypes (EGFR, KRAS). Many studies demonstrated that patients with ALK rearrangement positive NSCLC have improved with a good response rates and progression (free survival) when treated with either monotherapy or by a combination therapy compared with EGFR-mutated, KRAS/EGFR/ALK wild type or KRAS-mutated. The aim of this study was to detect and study the signal pattern of normal ALK and compare it to that of mutated ALK with gene rearrangement in cases of non-small cell lung cancer and Inflammatory conditions by implementing the CISH technique. In addition to correlate ALK signal pattern with the histopathological type and grade as well as the age and sex of the patients.Materials & Methods: Forty patients with NSCLC and Inflammatory diseases were enrolled in a comparative cross sectional study. The tissue blocks were sectioned on non-charged slides for the preparation of routine H&E staining. Positively charged slides were used for tissue sections prepared for chromogenic in situ hybridization procedure to detect ALK gene.Results: ALK gene signal break apart was detected in (18/20, 90%) of malignant cases; (0/20, 0%) of non-neoplastic lung lesions. There was a significant statistical difference in their distribution, p < 0.05. While There was no significant association between any disease status and sex P value = 1.000NS. The CISH test was 100% sensitive using negative score as a cutoff point and 90.9% specific. The score was divided into three levels that categorized the cases, so there were six cases in score one (1-32%), nine cases in score two (33-67%) and three cases in score three (68-100%).Conclusion: Detection of ALK rearrangement in the early diagnosis of NSCLC is highly sensitive and can save a lot of efforts in planning chemotherapy regimens. Results were very promising in identifying this mutation by a sensitive and highly specific test. The ALK gene rearrangement could be an early mutation and it is needed as an initiating step for the carcinogenesis process. The presence of a double gene mutation, however, could be the cause of a higher-grade cancer.
Post-graduate scholars can publish Literature-Guides on the Web by using Compending-Forum Software to create Knowledge-Step Compendia
Authors: Jewett Don L 
Published: January 2018

"Publication forms the core structure supporting the development and transmission of scientific knowledge" (Galbraith2015). Yet, with the WorldWideWeb a dominant part of many activities, internet "publication" is still paper-based in its style and methods, even when it uses a digital medium. Such a paper-based publishing "model" is not adequate for a Web-based world!
In 2006, an estimated 3,700 peer-reviewed articles were published per day (Bjork2009)! As will become apparent, the methods and features described here are needed now, and will be absolutely necessary in the future, when even more articles are published.
A New Knowledge-Tool is proposed that is in addition to those already available. The new Knowledge-Tool is a new Literature-Guide called a "Knowledge-Step Compendium" which will be on a very-narrow topic, will be organized in a new MultiLevel-Format, and will be created in a Compending-Forum on the Internet.
This New Knowledge-Tool will, in turn, be the basis for a change in academic careers of the timing of when a scholar "Compends" Knowledge. A "Knowledge-Compendor" need not be a senior faculty member (as is the case in traditional literature-reviews), but can be a Post-Graduate Student new to a field. Because a Knowledge-Step Compendium is based on a very-narrow topic and created with the aid of an Internet Forum, for a Graduate Student Compendor this activity will be a means to self-organize groups of like-minded scholars that can be the basis for reviews of new data, discovering new ideas, and finding jobs.
The acceptability of TV-based game platforms as an instrument to support cognitive evaluation of senior adults at home
Authors: Rivas Costa Carlos , Fernández Iglesias Manuel José , Anido Rifón Luis Eulogio , Gómez Carballa Miguel , Valladares Rodríguez Sonia 
Published: January 2018

Introduction: The recent advances in consumer electronics paved the way for new approaches to neurophysiological evaluation at home. More specifically, the computing capabilities of state-of-the-art television sets and media centres may facilitate the introduction of computer-assisted evaluation at home. This approach would help to overcome the drawbacks of traditional pen-and-paper evaluations administered in clinical facilities, as they could be performed in a more comfortable environment, the subject’s home, and they would be more flexible to design complex environments for the evaluation of neuropsychological constructs that are difficult to evaluate through traditional testing. The objective of this work was to obtain some initial evidence about the technical acceptance by senior adults of serious games played at home on the TV set for their cognitive evaluation, and therefore about the convenience of further investigating such approach to cognitive evaluation.
Materials and methods: We developed a collection of games to be deployed on a smart TV environment. These games were tried by a group of senior adults at their homes. Surveys were performed to study the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of such technical setting as an instrument for their cognitive evaluation, that is, its technical acceptance. An additional survey was performed 36 months after pilot testing to have an indication about the long-term perceptions about perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.
Results: More than 90% of participating subjects perceive cognitive games on TV as useful or very useful, and this result correlates with the number of participants perceiving them as easily usable or very easy to use. Besides, these perceptions are fairly stable in time.
Limitations: Although participating users were carefully selected to obtain a representative sample of the Galician population, which in turn is comparable to the population of most rural areas in Europe, a larger and more diverse user sample may be needed to obtain significant results for a wider population profile.
Conclusion: The study confirmed the technical acceptance, that is, the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, of the home technical setting introduced as a means of cognitive evaluation. Nevertheless, more research is needed in order to implement serious games in a way that medical community accepts them as a valid, reliable way to perform cognitive evaluations at home.
COMODI: An ontology to characterise differences in versions of computational models in biology
Authors: Scharm Martin , Waltemath Dagmar , Mendes Pedro , Wolkenhauer Olaf 
Published: January 2018

Motivation: Open model repositories provide ready-to-reuse computational models of biological systems. Models within those repositories evolve over time, leading to many alternative and subsequent versions. Taken together, the underlying changes reflect a model’s provenance and thus can give valuable insights into the studied biology. Currently, however, changes cannot be semantically interpreted. To improve this situation, we developed an ontology of terms describing changes in computational biology models. The ontology can be used by scientists and within software to characterise model updates at the level of single changes. When studying or reusing a model, these annotations help with determining the relevance of a change in a given context.
Methods: We manually studied changes in selected models from BioModels and the Physiome Model Repository. Using the BiVeS tool for difference detection, we then performed an automatic analysis of changes in all models published in
these repositories. The resulting set of concepts led us to define candidate terms for the ontology. In a final step, we aggregated and classified these terms and built the first version of the ontology.
Results: We present COMODI, an ontology needed because COmputational MOdels DIffer. It empowers users and software to describe changes in a model on the semantic level. COMODI also enables software to implement user-specific filter options for the display of model changes. Finally, COMODI is the next step towards predicting how a change in a model influences the simulation study.
Conclusion: COMODI, coupled with our algorithm for difference detection, ensures the transparency of a model’s evolution and it enhances the traceability of updates and error corrections.
Availability: COMODI is encoded in OWL. It is openly available at http://comodi.sems.uni-rostock.de/.
