description: Recovering the underlying Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structures from observational data presents a formidable challenge, partly due to the combinatorial nature of the DAG-constrained optimization problem. Recently, researchers have identified gradient vanishing as one of the primary obstacles in differentiable DAG learning and have proposed several DAG constraints to mitigate this issue. By developing the necessary theory to establish a connection between analytic functions and DAG constraints, we demonstrate that analytic functions from the set $\{f(x) = c_0 + \sum_{i=1}^{\infty}c_ix^i | \forall i > 0, c_i > 0; r = \lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}c_{i}/c_{i+1} > 0\}$ can be employed to formulate effective DAG constraints. Furthermore, we establish that this set of functions is closed under several functional operators, including differentiation, summation, and multiplication. Consequently, these operators can be leveraged to create novel DAG constraints based on existing ones. Using these properties, we design a series of DAG constraints and develop an efficient algorithm to evaluate them. Experiments in various settings demonstrate that our DAG constraints outperform previous state-of-the-art comparators. Our implementation is available at https://github.com/zzhang1987/AnalyticDAGLearning.

Subjects: Liquidity, Liquidity risks, banking liquidity, interactions.

description: The recent financial crisis of 2007-2008 highlighted the important role of liquidity in the banking system. Financial markets around the world have run out of liquidity and many financial institutions have gone bankrupt due to liquidity problems. Nevertheless, liquidity remains a very complex concept to define because of its polymorphic character. Only recently has the literature focused on defining the notion of liquidity and its different forms and the interactions that may exist between them. This paper aims to present a synthesis of reflections on banking liquidity. First, it discusses the different theoretical approaches to the concept and typology of the liquidity concept. Then, it presents the different liquidity risks. Finally, it discusses the main theoretical underpinnings of interactions between types of liquidity.

description: Macroeconomic equilibrium and external competitiveness of any country remain dependent on an adjustment of the real exchange rate value and its equilibrium, a necessity which is explained by the adverse consequences of recurring and persistent deviations that can lead to structural imbalances in labor market and also in tradable and non-tradable goods markets. In the Moroccan context, the concern of the real exchange rate misalignment has been for some time in the core of interest for many reasons, a concern that has increased after the intention revealed by autoroties to adopte the floating regime. In this article, we will examine the effects, if it’s proven, of the real real exchange rate (REER) misalignment on the balance-of-payments value for the period covering the 37 latest years. In order to do so, we will first use a pannel cointegration model, based on the data of five countries predominantly from MENA, to estimate the real equilibrium exchange rate, we will preceed by adopting the behavioral approach to estimate the equilibrium exchange rate (BEER), and by using an HP filtering process, we will evaluate the misalignment between the value of the estimated exchange rate and the exchange rate applied, a result that will be tested in order to verify its impact on the balance of payments. The results thus obtained show that the effect of the misalignment on the economy through the balance of payments is not confirmed in the case of Morocco as long as it remains under control, but the effect remains undeniable judging by the structure of the correlation.

description: Objectif: Analyser les différentes caractéristiques cliniques et thérapeutiques d’une série de rétinites nécrosantes virales. Matériel et méthodes : Notre série de cas était rétrospective et comprenait 6 patients ayant consultés au centre hospitalier universitaire de Rabat (Maroc), sur une période de 3 ans. L’examen clinique avait retrouvé une rétinite nécrosante associée variablement à une hyalite, une vascularite et à un œdème papillaire. L’analyse des résultats était réalisée par le logiciel SPSS®. Résultats: Sept yeux de 6 patients ont été inclus. Le sexe ratio était de 1. La moyenne d’âge (en années) était de 42.14 ± 7.4. Notre série comprenait 66.7% de patients immunocompétents et 33.3% d’immunodéprimés. Etaient retrouvés 4 cas de nécrose rétinienne aigue (66.7%), un cas de nécrose rétinienne externe progressive (16.7%) et une rétinite à CMV (16.7%). A l’admission, l'acuité visuelle (AV) moyenne (logMAR) était de 1.43 ± 0.76. Une uvéite antérieure était retrouvée chez tous les patients avec une hyalite (71.4%). La nécrose rétinienne était associée à des artérites (85.7%), des périphlébites (42.9%), un œdème papillaire (85.7%) et un œdème maculaire (28.6%). Les patients étaient traités par aciclovir (66.7%) par voie intraveineuse, par valaciclovir (16.7%) et 28.6% des yeux par ganciclovir en injections intravitréennes. Un barrage laser était réalisé chez 50% des patients. Le décollement de rétine (57.1%) est survenu après 9 semaines en moyenne. Une vitrectomie postérieure était réalisée pour 2 patients. La moyenne d'AV finale (logMAR) était 1.30 ± 1.02. Conclusion: Ces affections graves engagent le pronostic visuel et imposent un traitement antiviral agressif précoce.

description: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a therapy used to correct biochemical parameters. It is common in the intensive care setting for its stability compared to intermittent haemodialysis in patients who are unstable. CRRT is complex and, by nature of continuously running blood outside the body, is prone to clotting and disruptive loss of circuits unless mitigating strategies are employed. The most important strategy addressed to date are therapies that stop the blood from clotting. In this thesis we explore advantages of citrate compared to heparin to prevent clotting along with identifying other factors that affect circuit life.

description: The imbalances in the current account may be a symptom of macroeconomic and financial pressures, that’s why the analysis of its sustainability is a major concern for policymakers. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the behavior of the Moroccan current account from 1980 to 2016 in order to identify the appropriate determinants of the current account and to better apprehend the potential risks threatening the moroccan economy. In this regard, we have applied a Vector Error Correction (VEC) Model to quantify the impact of the exogenous variables on the current account balance and to analyse the long-term trajectory of this current account. The final purpose of this analysis is to validate or to reject the hypothesis of sustainability. Our results show that (i) Morocco's large and structural current account deficits are mainly explained by low inflows of the foreign direct investments (FDI), the volatility of the real effective exchange rate (REER) and the investment dynamics compared to the level of savings, (ii) the estimates of the model adopted confirm the hypothesis of sustainability of Morocco's current account, which can be explained by the implementation of several projects in the sectors of tourism, energy, automotive and aeronautics, as well as the favorable business climate for foreign investment and the consolidation of public finances.

Two financial inclusion measures are included in this study, namely the number of people who borrowed money from commercial banks per 1000 adults and the number of people who deposited money in commercial banks per 1000 adults. The determinants of the first measure are the number of people borrowing delayed by one period, the GDP per capita, the credits granted to private firms, the borrowing interest rate, the number of Internet users and the rate of literacy. The determinants of the second measure are the number of depositors of money delayed by one period, GDP per capita, credit to the private sector, the deposit interest rate, inflation, the number of Internet users, and M2 / GDP is significant.

description: The purpose of this research is to study the effects of the fluctuation of the exchange rate on the contribution of the tourism sector in Morocco during the period 1995-2016. We will apply the error correction vector model (VECM), the Granger causality test and the co-integration approach. The results will show that the fluctuation of the exchange rate has a significantly negative effect on the output of the tourism sector and that increased fluctuation reduces the contribution of the tourism sector to GDP. The result of the Granger causality test has shown that there is a one-way causality and a long-term relationship between the variable dependent on the contribution of the tourism sector to GDP and the independent variables which are the real effective exchange rate, the number of tourist arrivals, employment in the tourism sector. Our analysis has shown that the economic policy adopted must have a stabilizing impact on the exchange rate.

description: The linkages between children's and adults' language abilities and psycho-social functioning are of
increasing interest to psychiatry. Children and adolescents with specific language impairment (SLI)
have a higher risk of developing a variety of psychiatric disorders. The purpose of this study was to
test the hypothesis that the level of language used in peer communication at school – whether
signed or spoken – is associated with psychosocial well-being in adolescents with hearing
impairments. 53 students completed a battery of linguistic tests as well as the Strengths and
Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), which was also completed by their parents. The group of 34
children in mainstream education was compared to the group of 19 children in a segregated school
for the deaf. The findings indicated that children's language abilities were impaired in comparison
to published norms, which was particularly pronounced in segregated schools. Parents perceived
their children to be in greater distress than published standards. In mainstream education, those with
a higher level of spoken language had very few peer relationship problems, but considerably more
in segregated schools. For those proficient in signed language, the converse was almost as
significant. We conclude that peer relationship difficulties are related to language competence levels
in the way children communicate at school.

description: This article aims to identify the explanatory factors for export diversification in the WAEMU countries over the period 1995-2015. We are regressing the indicator of export diversification, measured successively by the Herfindhal-Hirschman index and the share of manufactured exports in total exports of the country, on a set of explanatory variables. We use the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) method. Our results show that openness to trade, the accumulation of human and physical capital, a competitive real exchange rate and the endowment of natural resources are the main factors explaining the diversification of exports in WAEMU countries.

description: This study demonstrated that anthocyanins from butterfly pea flowers and betacyanins from red dragon fruit can effectively inhibit the formation and disrupt existing dental plaque caused by three harmful oral bacteria (Streptococcus mutans, Actinomyces viscosus, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans). For Streptococcus mutans, these natural compounds do this by targeting the way bacteria produce energy and build their protective walls, preventing them from sticking to teeth and creating the acidic environment that causes cavities. These natural compounds were also found to be safe for gum tissues, making them promising candidates for developing new, natural oral care products.

description: Morocco has adopted a decentralized system, which is based on granting land communities an essential role in the management of land affairs, and this role will be further strengthened, especially within the framework of the developed region. However, the success of this process remains dependent on mobilizing the necessary tax resources, which justifies the need to highlight local levies as an important component of the Moroccan tax system and one of the economic and social policy mechanisms that enable public decision makers to have the resources to finance public services and achieve territorial development. In this article, we address the most important problems related to local levies, highlighting the additions made by the successive reforms in this field and prospects for development, as well as ways to achieve efficiency and profitability through improving the measures and methods of management and strengthening the local tax administration.

description: This article aims econometric identification of the main causes of financial crises. First, we reported on the qualitative models that can identify the causes of financial crises in our sample, namely: the Mexican crisis between 1994 and 1995, the Asian crisis between 1997 and 1998, and the financial crisis between2007 and 2008. Then we have demonstrated, through the Logit model, that reversals in financial markets and the current account deficit are the main causes of financial crises. This result coincides exactly with studies Kaminsky (2006) and Reinhart and Rogoff (2008, 2009).

description: This thesis investigates selected social determinants that contribute to the gap in health between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults who live in Victoria. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults disproportionately experience food insecurity, psychological distress, and racism. Experiences of racism account for 34% of the gap in self-reported health status, equivalent in strength to smoking. Racism in all its forms is hypothesised to be the pivotal determinant of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and a conceptual model is proposed.

Subjects: adénome pléomorphe, glandes lacrymales

description: L’adénome pléomorphe représente plus de 40% de l’ensemble des tumeurs de la glande lacrymale. Le diagnostic positif reste difficile; Il n’est confirmé que par l’étude histologique de la tumeur. Matériels et méthodes : Nous rapportons un cas d’un adénome pléomorphe des glandes lacrymales, dont le diagnostic positif a été posé lors de l’étude histologique de la pièce opératoire. Résultats : Il s’agit d’un patient de 57 ans qui consulte pour une masse de la paupière supérieure droite, évoluant depuis 3ans, sans autres signes associés. Le scanner a montré une masse arrondie, bien limitée localisée dans la loge lacrymale droite. Une exérèse monobloc par voie transconjonctivale a permis l’analyse histologique de la pièce qui a conclut à un adénome pléo- morphe. Discussion : L’âge moyen est de 40 à 50 ans. L’atteinte toujours unilatérale, le plus souvent à droite. La clinique varie en fonction de la portion touchée de la glande. Le scanner montre un élargissement diffus de la fossette lacrymale avec une intégrité de la corticale. Le traitement chirurgical consiste en une exérèse en bloc avec respect de la pseudocapsule, L’étude histologique de la tumeur permet de confirmer le diagnostic. Conclusion : Ce cas démontre l’intérêt de l’étude anatomo-pathologique dans la confirmation de diagnostic de certitude, ainsi qu’une approche chirurgicale suffisamment large de toute masse de la glande lacrymale pour éviter toute effraction capsulaire, source potentielle de récidive tumorale.

description: The studies carried out on several stock markets show that initial public offerings (IPOs) are underpriced and realize an initial outperformance. However, they differ about IPOs short run outperformance and long run underperformance. To verify these empirical literature results in the case of Casablanca Stock Exchange, we have measured the performance of IPOs listed over the period 2005-2011 using event methods for short run (6 months) and both event and calendar methods for long run (5 years). The different methods conclude to IPOs underperformance in both short and long run.

Subjects: cost of debt, creditors’ behavior, governance mechanisms.

description: This paper examines whether creditors consider governance mechanism when they determine the cost ofdebt. Basing on a sample of 486 american firms for the period 1998-2008, we synthesize governance into six factorial axes. Our results show that audit quality (independence, number of meetings, Big 4, existence of a charte) as well as financial expertise (percentage of financial experts and institutional ownership) are informative tools for creditors who enhance the quality and reliability of financial information. These attributes affect negatively and significantly the cost of debt. In addition, creditors appreciate the presence of independent directors in the boardand consequently reduce the cost of debt required. Otherwise, the independence of the nomination and compensation committees are irrelevant to creditors as they don’t reduce their agency risk. However, the board’s attributes Finance & Finance Internationale N°12 juillet 2018 http://revues.imist.ma/?journal=FFI ISSN: 2489-1290 2 (size, number of meetings, existence of specialized committees and their meetings) are negatively perceived by the creditors who increase the interest rate. Besides, the cost of debt raises with managerial ownership and majority shareholders. Likewise,the attributes reflecting managerial entrenchment(duality, CEO seniority) are positively correlated to the cost of debt. These mechanisms strengthen the expropriation of creditors’ wealth.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The convergence of Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) and Smart Contracts (SCs) have the potential to generate a cutting-edge digital, decentralized marketplace fostering innovation and collaboration. The 6GENABLERS-DLT project aims to implement a marketplace for the telco industry which embodies agility, transparency, security and efficiency. In this context, the present document describes the design of a key system of the Marketplace, named Smart Contract System. The Smart Contract State Composer (SCSC), which is a sub-component of this system, will provide an entry point to the participating stakeholders to offer, acquire and deploy telco resources and services in an easy way. The document covers the technologies used, the system’s operational components and overall design of the informational models. In practice, the SCSC will be used in the project to compose a complete agreement to flexibly represent a series of transactions of telco services for a multi-party, real-time holographic communications application between remote users. The SCSC will then reflect in the DLT the different resources and services exchanged in the agreement, their corresponding offers, orders and instantiations requests using the APIs (Application Programming Interface) offered by the DLT layer.

Functional basis of deep brain VAL-opsin photoreceptors in the zebrafish

description: Biological impacts of light beyond the vision, i.e. non-visual functions of light, signify the need to better understand light detection (or photoreception) systems in vertebrates. Photopigments, which comprise light-absorbing chromophores bound to different G-protein coupled receptor opsins, are responsible for visual and non-visual photoreception. Non-visual opsins in the retina of mammals and extra-retinal tissues of non-mammals play an important role in the non-visual functions of light, e.g. biological rhythm and seasonal reproduction. However, little is known about individual functions of non-visual opsins in extra-retinal tissues such as the deep brain of non-mammalian vertebrates including fish (reviewed in Chapter 1). This thesis focused on deep brain vertebrate ancient long (VAL)-opsins, which are encoded by the val-opsinA (valopa) and val-opsinB (valopb) isoform genes, in the zebrafish. The thesis is built upon research questions—first, which are VAL-opsin photoreceptor neurons located in the brain; second, how val-opsin genes are regulated; and third, what would be their physiological functions in the zebrafish—through which it aims to better understand the non-visual photoreception in vertebrates. The research questions are addressed in three experimental chapters. Firstly, in Chapter 2, I examined the distribution and neurochemical nature of valop isoform-expressing cells in the brain of adult zebrafish. In situ hybridization localized a major valop cell group in the thalamus (co-expressing both isoforms), and several minor valop cell groups in the midbrain or the hindbrain (single isoform); and determined their neurochemical properties. Thus, the VAL-opsin photoreceptors in different brain areas should be involved in multiple physiological functions. Secondly, in Chapter 3, I examined regulation of the valop isoform genes in zebrafish. Real-time quantitative PCR demonstrated differential regulation of the valop isoform genes, which depends on time-of-day, light conditions, and brain areas. Thus, the VAL-opsin photoreceptors are likely to mediate the control of time- and light-dependent physiology. Thirdly, in Chapter 4, I created valop mutant zebrafish to examine possible physiological functions of the VAL-opsin isoforms. Introduction of mutations to the valop genes resulted in non-functional VAL-opsins, virtually. Abnormal eggs or embryos, regardless of wild-type or mutant, resulted from F0 valop mutant breeders. The parental effects of valop knockout suggest a reproductive function of VAL-opsin photoreceptors in zebrafish. This thesis provides the functional basis of VAL-opsin photoreceptors in the zebrafish. In a broader perspective, it introduces the neuronal organization of deep brain opsin photoreceptors in adult fish and research directions for functional studies (as discussed in Chapter 5). Thus, the findings from this thesis advance our knowledge about the non-visual photoreception in vertebrates.

description: This study tests and compares the classical factorial models applicable on the BRVM market. These are the CAPM, Fama and French and CAPM models with liquidity. Our analysis covers a daily frequency from September 16, 1998 to December 31, 2016. We have subdivided our study into ex ante and ex post periods. The first step uses time series regression to estimate the parameters of these models. The second step is to use these in cross-sectional regression. This approach technique allowed us to rank the models according to their ability to predict the return of securities on the BRVM market. The results of our study gave us the predominance of the CAPM model followed by the Fama and French model. The CAPM with liquidity is not efficient for the good reason that this market is not liquid.
