Clément et les jongleurs dans la geste d’Othovien. Le personnage du père adoptif, ses valeurs bourgeoises et sa portée comique dans les enfances de Florent, du roman en octosyllabes aux versions en prose
Authors: Menegaldo Silvère 
Published: October 2023

Résumé : L’objet de cet article est d’étudier le personnage de Clément, le vilain ou le nobile bourgoys qui achète et adopte le jeune Clément. En analysant de près les cinq séquences faisant intervenir Clément, envisagées dans chacune des quatre versions de la « geste d’Othovien », on verra que la fonction de ce personnage n’est pas seulement comique mais qu’il représente aussi une figure de l’amour paternel et un adjuvant du héros. Ainsi on pourra aussi contribuer, on l’espère, à la réflexion sur les liens unissant les quatre versions et sur le genre du Roman d’Othevien, entre chanson de geste et roman en couplets d’octosyllabes.
Florence au couvent, du vers à la prose
Authors: Poulain-Gautret Emmanuelle 
Published: October 2023

La Chanson de Florence de Rome dont nous avons conservé deux manuscrits complets se trouve au xve siècle rattachée au cycle d’Othovyen, dans un remaniement en alexandrins et une mise en prose. L’étude de l’épisode du « moniage » de la reine permet de comparer les versions afin de faire apparaître éléments de filiation ou d’originalité.
Responsabilidade social empresarial: o valor social produzido pelas empresas de capital aberto no estado do Maranhão
Authors: Guedes Kelvin Felipe , De Carvalho Hugo Leonardo Menezes 
Published: October 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a relação existente entre as práticas de Responsabilidade Social Empresarial (RSE) e o valor de mercado das empresas, notadamente aquelas que possuem sede de atuação no Estado do Maranhão. Isso porque, segundo a Teoria dos Stakeholders, as empresas precisam alinhar os seus interesses aos anseios e expectativas de todos os agentes com quem ela se relaciona. Com isso, espera-se que a perspectiva de atuação das empresas não seja pautada apenas para seus acionistas, mas sim no alinhamento e harmonização com o que esperam os stakeholders, mas existem dúvidas de como os gestores decidem e priorizam acerca desse alinhamento. A valorização de mercado é uma importante variável de geral de valor para os acionistas. Para tanto, realizou-se regressão linear múltipla com amostra de 28 empresas listadas na B3, em que a variação do preço das ações foi a variável resposta e o Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE B3) a variável independente principal junto com outras de controle. Os resultados evidenciaram que, para o período analisado, houve significância estatística para a relação testada, mas que a correlação encontrada foi diferente daquela esperada. Isso pode indicar que as práticas de RSE das empresas estejam relacionadas a outros indicadores que não a valorização de mercado. Apesar disso, destaca-se ainda que, para a realidade do Estado do Maranhão, as três empresas escolhidas para análise mais detalhada (Vale, Equatorial e Grupo Mateus) ainda possuem ações tímidas em termos de práticas de RSE direcionadas às carências das localidades e comunidades do Estado.

Authors: Hanh Nguyen Thi , Trang Nguyen Thi , Anh Nguyen Thi Minh , Huong Nguyen Thi , Hung Nguyen Van , Trang Vu Thu 
Published: October 2023

Objective: The study was conducted to identify the optimum condition for maximum tannin removal in cashew apple juice by enzymes. Tannin is the cause of astringency and reduces sensory value, which lead to underestimating the by-product of the cashew nut industry. The result of the study will help to utilize and convert cashew apples into a nutritious juice product, contributing to zero waste life and sustainable food production.

Method: The study was conducted by examining the parameters of the detannying process by tannase enzyme and tannase combined with pectinase. The parameters for tannase adding are juice pH (4 – 6), incubation time (40 min – 160 min), temperature (25 – 45oC) and enzyme concentration (0.1 – 0.4%). Regarding combinations of tannase and pectinase, pectinase concentration was examined in the range of 0.6 – 1.2%.

Result: The combination of pectinase 0.8% and tannase 0.2%, 80 minutes of incubation, 35oC at juice pH (4.61) can remove tannin up to 56.09%.

Conclusion: Using the combination of pectinase and tannase in tannin removal from cashew apple juice has shown high efficiency, which can reduce the astringency in this fruit and apply in juice processing, contributing to zero waste agricultural production.
Non-local dynamics and intermittency in non-homogeneous flows
Authors:   , Ben Mahjoub Otman 
Published: October 2023

.<br/><br/>La tesi analitza les dinàmiques no locals i la intermitència en fluids no homogenis i no isotròpics tant en experiments de laboratori com en dades geogràfiques. Després de l'estudi sobre els models que descriuen la intermitència en fluids homogenis i isotròpics, presentem un model per fluids no homogenis i no isotropics. El model es basa en l'anàlisi de la jerarquia de transmissió d'energia. S'utilitza la tècnica de la Extended Self Similarity amb l'objectiu d'estudiar l'escala de lleis de les funcions estructurals de velocitat. Els resultats experimentals de tres tipus de fluids que s'han comparat amb el model per fluids no homogenis i no isotròpics són els següents: turbulència generada per un cilindre en un canal de vent i turbulència generada per una reixa i per un jet en un canal d'aigua. S'analitza la turbulència geogràfica del Delta de l'Ebre i del Knebel Vig i els resultats són comparats amb els del model anteriorment esmentat. La contribució principal és el descobriment d'un paràmetre aparentment relacionat amb la jerarquia de transmissió d'energia en el rang inercial que juga un paper clau en la comprensió de les dinàmiques dels fluids no homogenis.
.<br/><br/>The thesis analyze the non-local dynamics and intermittency in non-homogeneous and non-isotropic flows both in the laboratory experiments and geophysical data. After a review on models describing intermittency in homogeneous and isotropic flows, a different model for non-homogeneous and non-isotropic flows is introduced. A model is based on the analysis of the energy transfer hierarchy. The technique of Extended Self Similarity is used to study the scaling laws of the velocity structure functions. Experimental results of three type of flows cylinder wake turbulence in wind tunnel, grid and jet turbulence in water channel are presented and compared with the model. The geophysical turbulence in the Ebro Delta and Knebel Vig are analyzed and the results are compared with the model. The important contribution is the discovery of a new apparently parameter related to the energy transfer hierarchy in the inertial range which plays a key role in the understanding of the dynamics of the non-homogeneous flows.

Nexus between sustainability and financial performance in the Serbian banking sector
Authors: Stakić Nikola , Barjaktarović Lidija 
Published: October 2023

Research Question: The paper investigates various ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) related practices within the leading European banking groups (BGs) present in Serbian banking sector (SBS), including their financial performances. Motivation: The goal of the research was to explore approach habits to sustainable business between the leading European BGs present in the SBS. It should have in mind that SBS are in compliance with their headquarter/major shareholder. The rising global worry about ESG issues and its overall impact forces banking business model to use holistic approach, including the plug-in of sustainability and responsible behaviours. The paper draws on sustainable banking surveys of Aracil et al. (2021) and Stefanovic et al. (2021) in Business-Case domain, applying them on SBS with introduction of 3 comparable sustainable indicators (environmental loans, reduction of tCO2, community investments). It is the first study which takes in respect ESG elements of principal BGs in SBS, with the comprehensive analysis of subject’s legislative framework. Idea: The core idea of the paper was to empirically investigate the sustainable practice in SBS, based on different banks’ reports and publications, including disclosed ESG indicators. E-loans (EL) and profitability indicators were examined individually as dependent variables since other ESG and financial (solvency, financial stability and efficiency) variables served as independent ones. Data: Analysis was conducted using data of 4 European active BGs on SBS, in the period of 2015-2021, due to fact that there was the lack of quantitative metrics and non-uniform reporting practice. Tools: Statistical analysis (descriptive statistics, correlation, regression test utilizing ANOVA), were used to draw conclusions about the relationship variables, particularly correlation between ESG variables and profitability ratios. Findings: The study showed for analyzed BGs that: (1) they had unique ESG practice, based on global standards and EBA (European Banking Authority) regulation; (2) they had good credit risk management including E-risks in practice; (3) sustainability had significant inter-connectedness among ESG constituents, as well as with some of the financial metrics; (4) statistical significance of ESG metrics for EL; however similar findings are missing when it comes to association between financial performance (in terms of profitability) and ESG practice. Contribution: The paper introduces and expands existing research related to sustainable banking on SBS for further education of all stakeholders.
A Case Report on Rasmussen Encephalopathy (RE)
Authors: Ahmed S. Ait , Yahia B. Ouled , Benouchen T. , Bentahila A. 
Published: October 2023

Summary: Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) is a rare and severe chronic inflammatory brain disease resulting in drug-resistant epilepsy and progressive hemispheric destruction with neurological deficit. ER is associated with deterioration of background EEG activity, progressive atrophy of the affected hemisphere on MRI and extensive PET hypometabolism over the affected hemisphere. We report the case of a 6-year-old girl who presented with pharmacoresistant epilepsy.
Observation: A 6-year-old child with no particular medical history presented 6 months prior to admission with epilepsy resistant to all therapeutic classes (antiepileptic drugs). Clinical examination revealed left hemiparesis with facial involvement and constant left hemi-myoclonus.
An EEG showed a pattern compatible with a continuous epileptic encephalopathy that could correlate with Rasmussen syndrome.
Cerebral MRI Revealed: right cerebral hemiatrophy with secondary homolateral hippocampal sclero-atrophy, compatible with Rasmussen encephalitis.
The patient received immunoglobulins and a corticosteroid bolus, but without improvement; she was therefore a candidate for surgical treatment.
Rasmussen's encephalopathy is a rare and serious disease that can be responsible for paresis and cognitive decline. Its pathophysiology is still poorly defined, and it mainly affects children.

Published: October 2023

Nigeria experienced significant depreciation of her currency during the specified period of this study, mainly due to factors such as falling oil prices, external economic conditions such as slowdown in global economic growth, trade tensions which led to capital outflows from emerging markets including markets in Nigeria, tightening of global monetary policy which affected capital flows to these emerging markets, coupled with domestic macroeconomic challenges like concerns over policy consistency, governance issues and security challenges, capital flight and weakened investors’’ confidence. These conditions collectively created an adverse environment for the Nigerian economy, leading to the depreciation of Naira. Consequently, this study set out to achieve the main objective of investigating on a more recent basis, effects of exchange rate on domestic price level in Nigeria. The period covered was from January 2015 through December 2022. The study adopted the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and the variables included consumer price inflation, nominal exchange rate, import prices, international crude oil prices and real output growth. We found insignificant positive impact of the nominal exchange rate on consumer price inflation in Nigeria. The import prices also proved a significant effect on consumer price inflation in Nigeria. the study recommends that Governments at all levels in the country should encourage and support the innovative ideas of business firms and individuals. This will support local production, hence, there can be substitution of imported goods for domestically produced goods and the exchange rate will be stable.

Uso da Opinião Preliminar do INPI como Ferramenta de Gestão de Patentes em uma ICT Pública no Paraná
Authors: Romano Cláudia Raísa Tavares , Rodrigues Paulo Rogério Pinto , Gallina André Lazarin 
Published: October 2023

A presente pesquisa analisa os impactos da utilização do serviço de Opinião Preliminar do Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial (INPI) no fluxo de depósito de patente da Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) entre 2017 e 2022 como ferramenta de gestão de portfólio. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, com abordagem quantitativa, constituído por três etapas de coletas de dados em fontes documentais concedidas pela UFPR, e uma etapa de análise numérica dos dados coletados. A análise evidenciou que 56% dos pedidos de patente com viés de Indeferimento foram abandonados, reduzindo o inchaço do portfólio; que foram economizados R$ 84.000,88 em taxas do INPI; e, por fim, que as defesas peticionadas baseadas nas orientações da Opinião Preliminar não contribuíram para a concessão de patentes. Diante dos resultados, sugere-se a continuidade das atividades com reestruturação das etapas de filtragem e com adoção de outras ferramentas de redação de patente.
An explainable forecasting system for humanitarian needs assessment
Authors: Nair Rahul , Madsen Bo , Kjærum Alexander 
Published: October 2023

AbstractWe present a machine learning system for forecasting forced displacement populations deployed at the Danish Refugee Council (DRC). The system, named Foresight, supports long‐term forecasts aimed at humanitarian response planning. It is explainable, providing evidence and context supporting the forecast. Additionally, it supports scenarios, whereby analysts are able to generate forecasts under alternative conditions. The system has been in deployment since early 2020 and powers several downstream business functions within DRC. It is central to our annual Global Displacement Report, which informs our response planning. We describe the system, key outcomes, lessons learnt, along with technical limitations and challenges in deploying machine learning systems in the humanitarian sector.
