description: Les habiletés ; connaissances et savoir-faire consolidés au fil des années, les actifs immatériels sont décisifs pour la performance économique globale et la croissance des organisations. Il s'agit notamment du capital humain, de la recherche-développement, des brevets, des logiciels et des structures organisationnelles adoptées. Dès lors, se pose la question de savoir comment, dans une organisation, ces facteurs clefs de succès stratégique sont-elles créés, diffusés, préservés et utilisés dans l’optique d’un revenu économique pérenne. C'est dans ce cadre que s'inscrit le débat sur les actifs immatériels ; d'où la pertinence de leur identification et de leur évaluation. De cette problématique découlent les axes de recherche suivants : - Tout d'abord, que recouvre les notions du capital immatériel et du goodwill ? - Comment détecter, puis évaluer ces actifs immatériels au sein d'une organisation ? - Dans quelle mesure contribuent-ils à la création de valeur dans une entreprise ?

description: Variations in X-ray and EUV irradiance during solar flares lead to a noticeable increase in the electron concentration in the illuminated part of the Earth's ionosphere. Due to the large amount of experimental data accumulated by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), the total electron content (TEC) response to the impulsive phase of a solar flare has been studied quite well. However, recent studies have shown that large fraction of X-class flares have second strong peak of warm coronal emission (which is called 'EUV late phase'), whose influence on the ionization of ionospheric layers is not yet clear. A combined analysis of successive solar emissions and the caused TEC changes made it possible to numerically estimate the ionospheric response to the impulsive, gradual, and late phases of the X2.9 solar flare occurred on 2011 November 3 and demonstrate the high geoeffectiveness of the rather weak Fe XV 28.4 nm solar emission during the EUV late phase. It was found that the ionospheric response to the relatively weak emissions of the EUV late phase of the X2.9 solar flare amounted to almost a third of the TEC increase during the impulsive phase.

description: Cet article rend compte de la section 3 de Les sémiotiques textuelles, d’El Mostafa Chadli (2008). Il présente les perspectives de J. Kristeva, d’U. Eco d’A. J. Greimas et de C. Perelman. Par ailleurs ce travail tente aussi de montrer comment les sémiotiques textuelles constituent un dépassement de la rhétorique du philosophe belge. Cette dernière se limite seulement au discours argumentatif et n’examine pas tous les champs de l’analyse discursive à l’instar des perspectives textuelles qui, elles, considèrent tous les ensembles signifiants comme des entités dotées d’une fonction communicative à visée persuasive.

Optical properties of yellow excitons in cuprous oxide
Optische Eigenschaften von gelben Exzitonen in Kupferoxydul
Creators: name: Schöne, Florian
Publisher: name: Universität Rostock
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 530 Physics

description: This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part aims at the determination of basic excitonic properties by considering central-cell corrections. For large principal quantum numbers, the nonparabolicity of the highest valence band is treated. For the analysis of the 1S paraexciton the additional coupling to LO phonons is addressed. The second part examines the absorption edge of the phonon-assisted transition into the 1S yellow orthoexciton and determines the corresponding deformation potential. The deformation potential is used to calculate the phonon-assisted Auger coefficient.

Quantum statistical approach to optical properties in dense plasmas
Creators: name: Lin, Chengliang
Publisher: name: Universität Rostock
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 530 Physics

description: In this dissertation the transition rates, the ionization potential depression, and the optical spectra in dense plasmas are investigated within a quantum-statistical approach. The dynamical structure factors are introduced to account for the detailed spatial and temporal correlations and fluctuations of the plasma environment. The transition rates between Rydberg states are found to be more reasonably explained by a coherent quasi-classical wave packet description. As another important result, a general expression for the ionization potential depression in plasmas is obtained.

Comment elle pourra le faire à long terme ? Ce sont les questions examinées ici à travers trois études de cas sélectionnées pour montrer trois situations différentes : deux catastrophes naturelles et une catastrophe industrielle où résiliences et vulnérabilités se sont toutes construites au fil des années mais sans jamais se conjuguer. Ceci explique pourquoi les politiques publiques en la matière peinent à en juguler les effets dévastateurs sur les populations.

description: Cet article aborde la perception de la femme marocaine instruite par l’homme. À la lumière des résultats d’un questionnaire adressé au genre masculin, et du traitement des données recueillies par le logiciel SPSS, nous avons pu construire une idée importante sur les représentations socialement élaborées et ancrées dans les esprits des hommes à l’égard des femmes. Leur considération est tributaire du niveau d’instruction des hommes. Quand le niveau de formation de ses derniers est élevé, les interactions et les comportements, en général, sont favorables et mettent en valeur l’être féminin. Ce dernier est perçu de manière inamicale et malveillante par ses semblables masculins peu instruits.

The Red-100 Experiment On Cevns Study
Creators: name: AKIMOV, Dmitry
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The RED-100 detector has been built for observation of CEvNS (Coherent Elastic Neutrino Nucleus Scattering) at the Kalinin nuclear power plant (KNPP). The RED-100 is a two-phase xenon emission detector which is sensitive the extremely low ionization signals (down to single ionization electrons) in a massive target (~100-kg in FV). This corresponds to energies < 1 keV of Xe nuclear recoils. The detector has been recently tested at the MEPhI lab. The basic characteristics of the detector such as the single electron detection capability, the achieved purity of LXe, scintillation and electroluminescent yield, etc. are presented. Shipment of the RED-100 detector to KNPP is planned to the end of 2018. The detector to be installed under 3000-W reactor at 19 m under the core (overburden ~ 50 mwe, antineutrino flux ~ 1.3 10 13cm-2s-1). Other neutrino studies (setting new limits on 2 beta+ decay of 124Xe, 78Kr isotopes) are discussed.
The Annie Experiment - Results From Phase I
Creators: name: EISCH, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) at Fermilab will use 30 tons of gadolinium-enhanced water to capture and detect the otherwise invisible neutrons produced in complex neutrino-nucleus interactions in addition to traditional water-Cherenkov charged particle detection. The number of these final-state neutrons helps constrain the interaction type and the kinematics of the target nucleus, which are major sources of uncertainty in event reconstruction and simulation. The recently completed Phase I measured background neutrons associated with the neutrino beam, including “dirt neutrons” from neutrino interactions outside the detector and “skyshine neutrons” from the beam which scatter into the experimental hall. Phase I used pure water with a movable instrumented vessel of gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillator to measure the neutron flux at various locations within the tank. This poster will discuss the ANNIE detector and present the Phase I results.

Subjects: FSGS, Focal segmental sclerosis, glomerulosclerosis, herbal medicine, treatment of FSGS. Herbal medication for kidney, new treatment for glomerulosclerosis, treatment of excretion of protein and blood in the urine.

description: Abstract: -

Background: Focal segmental sclerosis (FSGS) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults and children that characterized by scar tissue formation in the glomeruli, which are responsible for blood filtration [1]. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is classified into two main categories:

1.     Primary (Idiopathic) FSGS: This form of FSGS has no identifiable underlying cause. It occurs spontaneously and is thought to be related to genetic factors or immune system dysfunction.

2.     Secondary FSGS: Secondary FSGS results from other conditions or factors that damage the glomeruli. These underlying causes can include obesity, infections, drug toxicity, kidney diseases (such as HIV-associated nephropathy), and certain systemic diseases [2].

 In advanced stages, dialysis and kidney transplantation will be required. One of common treatments include immunosuppressive drugs, but they often do not provide a definitive cure and can have side effects due to immune system suppression [3].

Case presentation: In this article, we present a boy who was 13-year-old who sought medical attention due to kidneys pain and red-colored urine. The physician diagnosed it as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, treated with antibiotics and immunosuppressants. Unfortunately, this approach proved ineffective, leading to the progression of the disease to severe stages, necessitating a kidney transplant. However, our medical team took a different approach. We combined traditional herbal remedies to halt the disease progression. Remarkably, this holistic treatment not only eliminated protein and blood in the urine but also completely reversed the FSGS.

Upon reviewing new test results and conducting clinical consultations, the previous treating physician, who had recommended the kidney transplant, concluded that neither the transplant nor their previously prescribed medications were necessary anymore.

Conclusion: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, which can occur due to infection and genetic factors, often has a limited response to standard treatments. This severe kidney disease, leading to renal inefficiency in many cases, may necessitate dialysis and kidney transplantation. In this particular case, at the request of patient’s parents, we prescribed a combination of herbal remedies that were used for 45 days and caused remarkable results. Now, after 7 years of treatment, the patient's kidney functions effectively without any issues , with no presence of protein or blood in the urine.

description: This article had as objective to assess the impacts of business climate on the financial performance of small and medium size enterprises in Cameroon. Specifically, it had to assess the impacts of general infrastructure, access to financial credit as well as the modes of financial regulation on the financial performance of small and medium size enterprises in Cameroon. To attain this objective, we used of primary data collected directly from the field thanks to open questionnaires that were administered to both top and middle class managers of the small and medium size enterprises. A simple model developed by Gikonya (2011) was employed in the analysis of the collected information. In this model elements of business climate make up the independent variable and financial performance as the dependent variable. The Ordinary Least Square method (OLS) was used to test the relationship between the variables. The result obtain showed that there exist a positive relationship between business climate and the financial performance of small and medium size enterprises in Cameroon. This result suggest that small and medium size enterprises should constantly monitor the business climate and its constantly evolving components especially the development of general infrastructures and accessibility to credit facilities but should also consider other important factors such as modes of financial regulation, asset utilization, market part as well as life cycle of the enterprise as important determinants of the level of financial performance. Key words: Business climate, financial performance, small and medium size enterprises, financial profitability, turnover

macro recorders and players have grown in sophistication over the past decade, these tools cannot yet meet many
tasks that people perform in daily life. Based on observations of browser users, we have compiled ten scenarios describing
tasks that users would benefit from automating. Our analysis of these scenarios yields specific requirements
that web macro tools should support if those tools are to be applicable to these real-life tasks. Our set of requirements
constitutes a benchmark for evaluating tools, which we demonstrate by evaluating the Robofox, CoScripter,
and iMacros tools.

description: The field of bio-inspired soft grippers has emerged as a transformative area of research with profound implications for biomedical applications. This book chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, developments, challenges, and prospects of soft grippers that draw inspiration from biological systems. Bio-inspired soft grippers have gained prominence due to their unique characteristics, including compliance, adaptability, and biocompatibility. They have revolutionized the way we approach biomedical tasks, offering safer interactions with delicate tissues and enabling complex operations that were once inconceivable with rigid tools. The chapter delves into the fundamental importance of soft grippers in biomedical contexts. It outlines their significance in surgeries, diagnostics, tissue engineering, and various medical interventions. Soft grippers have the capacity to mimic the intricate movements of biological organisms, facilitating minimally invasive procedures and enhancing patient outcomes. A historical perspective traces the evolution of soft grippers in biomedical research, highlighting key milestones and breakthroughs. From early attempts to emulate the dexterity of octopus tentacles to the latest advancements in soft lithography and biomaterials, the journey has been marked by ingenuity and collaboration across multiple disciplines. Motivations for adopting soft grippers in biomedical applications are explored, emphasizing their ability to reduce invasiveness, increase precision, and provide adaptability to complex anatomical structures. The requirements and challenges in designing grippers fit for medical contexts are outlined, encompassing biocompatibility, sterilization, control, and integration.
When Participants Do the Capturing: The Role of Media in Diary Studies
Creators: name: Carter, Scott

Publisher: name: Figshare
Year: 2018
Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: In this paper, we investigate how the choice of media for capture and access affects the diary study method. The diary study is a method of understanding participant behavior and intent in situ that minimizes the effects of observers on participants. We first situate diary studies within a framework of field studies and review related literature. We then report on three diary studies we conducted that involve photographs, audio recordings, location information and tangible artifacts.
We then analyze our findings, specifically addressing the following questions: How do context information and episodic memory prompts captured by participants vary with media? In what way do different media “jog” memory? How do different media affect the diary study process? These questions
are particularly important for diary studies because they can be especially useful as compared to other methods when a
participant intends to do an action but does not or when actions are particularly difficult to sense. We also built and tested a tool based on participant and researcher frustrations
with the method. Our contribution includes suggested modifications to traditional diary techniques that enable annotation
and review of captured media; a new variation on the diary study appropriate for researchers using digital capture media; and a lightweight tool to support it, motivated by past work and findings from our studies.

description: Brief motivational coaching, integrated into health care; seems promising to address physical inactivity of people with serious mental illness (SMI). To test the impact of a self-determined health coaching approach (the “SAMI” intervention) during outpatient mental health treatment on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) of people with SMI. Adults (mean age = 41.9, SD = 10.9) with an ICD-10 diagnosis of mental illness were semi-randomized to the SAMI-intervention group (IG) or control group (CG). The IG received 30 minutes of health coaching based on the self-determination theory (SDT). MVPA and sedentary time (ST) were measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – short form (IPAQ-SF) and symptoms of mental illness with the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18), each at baseline and follow-up (3–4 months). Differences in primary (MVPA) and secondary (ST, BSI-18) outcomes were evaluated using negative binomial regressions and general linear models. In the IG (n = 30), MVPA increased from 278 (interquartile range [IQR] = 175–551) to 435 (IQR = 161–675) min/week compared to a decrease from 250 (IQR = 180–518) to 155 (IQR = 0–383) min/week in the CG (n = 26; adjusted relative difference at follow-up: Incidence Rate Ratio [IRR] = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.17–3.93, p = 0.014). There were no statistically significant differences in ST and BSI-18. Brief self-determined health coaching during outpatient treatment could increase post-treatment MVPA in people with SMI, potentially up to a clinically relevant level. However, great uncertainty (for all outcomes) weakens the assessment of clinical relevance.
Maximizing Renewable Electricity in Israel: Energy Security, Environmental Impact, and Economic Development
Creators: name: Yasner, Rebecca A.
Publisher: name: Figshare
Year: 2018
Subjects: History

description: The search for energy security and growing concerns over global environmental degradation, juxtaposed against the promise of economic development, have led to increased worldwide attention to the implementation of renewable electricity technologies. For the State of Israel, located amidst a hostile neighborhood of oilsupplying countries, the need for energy security is paramount. In addition, Israel’s global obligation to reduce negative environmental impacts has become a major focus of public policy. Moreover, favorable forecasts of economic growth in the Clean Technology industry in Israel are now the driving force behind sustainable innovation. It is in Israel’s best interests to make the implementation of renewable electricity in Israel a high priority through public policy initiatives as well as through industry development. The February 2010 Plan for the Integration of Renewable Energy Sources into the Israeli Electricity Sector (PIRES) by Israel’s Ministry of Energy and Water Resources, while well intentioned, falls short of putting Israel on track for large-scale, integrated deployment of renewable electricity technologies. The centerpiece of this study is the author’s modifications to this document, Yasner-PIRES (Y-PIRES), which will not only lead Israel to much needed electricity security, but will also help to reduce harmful environmental pollution and will provide extensive economic development through a more comprehensive implementation of renewable power into Israel’s electricity mix.

subject: Literature

description: Graduate seminar syllabus: In this seminar, we will explore the contemporary comic, considering literary and cultural works across a range of platforms and markets. Comics are still frequently (and historically) associated with popular culture, and linked to children's literature and mass media, even as they loom large through big and small screen adaptations with global reach. However, the combination of image and text has a powerful role in literary practice. As we survey works by influential artists and authors including Ta-Nehisi Coates, Gilbert Hernandez, Jason, Nnedi Okorafor, Noelle Stevenson, and Gene Luen Yang, we will consider the influence of changing technologies and distribution mechanisms on our understanding of "comics" and imagetext more broadly

description: This paper presents a scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature regarding reported risks, adverse effects and mitigation factors related to providing mental health services using telehealth. The paper aims to describe risks and risk management strategies. Publications were included if they reported upon risks, adverse events or mitigation factors experienced, hypothesised or discussed for: any population (any country, any age), service (any mental health services), intervention (telehealth), English language, 2010 to 10 July 2021, any publication type (commentary, research, policy), excluding protocol papers, and self-help tools. The following databases were searched: PsycINFO (from 2010 to 10 July 2021), MEDLINE (2010 to 10 July 2021) and the Cochrane Database from 2010 to 10 July 2021. The search strategy resulted in 1,497 papers and after exclusions a final 55 articles were selected. Results of this scoping review are presented in terms of types of risk, risk by client population, risk by modality (eg group therapy using telehealth) and risk management. Recommendations for future research include gathering and publishing more detailed information regarding near-miss and actual adverse events when delivering mental health assessment and care using telehealth. In clinical practice, training is required for potential adverse events, and to prevent them and reporting mechanisms in place to collate and learn from these.

description: Efficient and lightweight single-image super-resolution (SISR) has achieved remarkable performance in recent years. One effective approach is the use of large kernel designs, which have been shown to improve the performance of SISR models while reducing their computational requirements. However, current state-of-the-art (SOTA) models still face problems such as high computational costs. To address these issues, we propose the Large Kernel Distillation Network (LKDN) in this paper. Our approach simplifies the model structure and introduces more efficient attention modules to reduce computational costs while also improving performance. Specifically, we employ the reparameterization technique to enhance model performance without adding extra cost. We also introduce a new optimizer from other tasks to SISR, which improves training speed and performance. Our experimental results demonstrate that LKDN outperforms existing lightweight SR methods and achieves SOTA performance.

description: Many anti-stigma programs for healthcare workers already exist however there is less research on the effectiveness of training in skills for health professionals to counter stigma and its impacts on patients. The objective of this study was to examine the theory base, content, delivery, and outcomes of interventions for healthcare professionals which aim to equip them with knowledge and skills to aid patients to mitigate stigma and discrimination and their health impacts. Five electronic databases and grey literature were searched. Data were screened by two independent reviewers, conflicts were discussed. Quality appraisal was realized using the ICROMS tool. A narrative synthesis was carried out. The final number of studies was 41. In terms of theory base, there are three strands - responsibility as part of the professional role, correction of wrongful practices, and collaboration with local communities. Content focusses either on specific groups experiencing health-related stigma or health advocacy in general. Findings suggest programs should link definitions of stigma to the role of the professional. They should be developed following a situational analysis and include people with lived experience. Training should use interactive delivery methods. Evaluation should include follow-up times that allow examination of behavioural change. PROSPERO, ID: CRD42020212527

description: This is the zine-version of my syllabus from a course I taught in Spring 2020, ENG 342: "Studies in Popular Culture," which had a course topic of "Playful Literature and Literary Games." My goal with this course was to teach students about the ways in which games and literature overlap, particularly through the frame of the zine -- DIY print publications that have historically given space and voice to marginalized folks. This artifact, then, is my syllabus in a zine-form, and I created it digitally after my class pivoted online due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It is also a counterpart to the Reflection Zine I am uploading ("ENG 342, Spring 2020, Reflection Zine") that has a more detailed pedagogical reflection of the course and what worked well/what I would modify if I taught it again.
