description: To optimize dedusting efficiency in coal mines, a model of dust movement in heading roadway with far-pressing-near-absorption ventilation system was built. The empirical drag force model was applied into the unsteady inter phase coupling modeling of air and dust flow. The Discrete Phase Modeling in Fluent was employed to solve the problem and unstructured grids were utilized to mesh the complex 3-D roadway with different airduct allocations. Results show that the dedusting efficiency with the dedusting fan in the air return side is obviously better than that with the fan in the middle of the heading machine. The dedusting efficiency decreases within creasing distance between air inlet and heading section. When this distance is 2.0mwith airduct in the air return side, it has the best dedusting efficiency; in which the dust concentration in the front of roadway after 60 seconds of digging and cutting decreases from 1150mg/m3 to 365mg/m3; the average dust concentration in roadway decreases from 597mg/m3 to 144mg/m3; and the total dedusting efficiency reaches up to 75.88%.
Escaping discourse: a critical analysis of fleeing a forced marriage as a journey of personal transformation
Creators: name: Muhleisen, Amanda Rachel
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis analyses the process by means of which a participant born and trapped within a strong discourse can engender the necessary agency to facilitate escape from such a discourse. A case study is analysed of a young girl raised within a discourse of forced marriage and honour based subjugation of females who manages to escape the entrapment of this oppression. A three stage process model of 'escaping discourse' constitutes the findings of the thesis, finding relevance within the Foucauldian concept of technologies of the self. The data is analysed using sociocognitive critical discourse analysis and grounded theory.
"The apartment is for you, it’s not for anyone else": managing social recovery and risk on the frontlines of single-adult supportive housing

description: This multi-method qualitative study examines frontline provider perspectives on consumer social relationships and barriers to social recovery in supportive housing programs for adults with serious mental illness. Thematic analyses show that guest and occupancy policies that enforce the "single" nature of single-adult supportive housing challenge consumer rights to self-determination in the realm of social recovery. Findings also highlight the ways in which providers act to reinforce and subvert these policies while mitigating risk in this service setting. Recommendations for enhancing the recovery orientation of supportive housing and implications for the design of the homeless service system are discussed.

description: L'éjecteur est le composant central de certains cycles de production de froid. Il utilise le fluide primaire à haute pression pour aspirer, entrainer et comprimer le fluide secondaire à base pression. Une voie possible pour augmenter l'efficacité énergétique du cycle de production de froid à éjecteur est de diminuer la surchauffe du fluide primaire ce qui peut amener l'apparition de condensation au sein de l'éjecteur. L'objectif de ce travail fut d'étudier l'impact de ces changements de phase sur l'écoulement au sein de l'éjecteur à l'aide du logiciel de modélisation CFD ANSYS Fluent. Plusieurs modèles de résolution numérique d'écoulement CFD au sein d'une tuyère et d'un éjecteur ont été mis en place. Les résultats de ces modèles ont été comparés avec des résultats expérimentaux de la littérature ainsi que des résultats de modèles analytiques. Les différents modèles ont tous montré des résultats cohérents sur la résolution de l'aspect hydrodynamique. En revanche seuls les modèles d'écoulement diphasique ont montré des résultats fiables concernant la résolution des champs de température. Parmi ces modèles, le modèle Wet-Steam a très bien fonctionné pour la résolution de l'écoulement au sein d'une tuyère mais a montré ses limites pour l'écoulement au sein d'un éjecteur. Le second modèle est le modèle eulérien homogène qui a montré des résultats réalistes en terme de conditions physiques des phases liquide et vapeur dans l'éjecteur. Il a également été observé que le changement de phase peut avoir un impact significatif sur la valeur de la pression critique en sortie, de manière à améliorer les performances de l'éjecteur.

description: Patients with postoperative complications are often subjected to prolonged life-sustaining treatment based on erroneous assumptions about their goals of care. Shared decision making is an evidence-based approach that helps ensure patients’ wishes and values are honored in their course of treatment. Perioperative palliative care can help create goal-concordant trajectories of care for high risk, seriously ill, or complicated patients, through sophisticated prognostication, higher-level communication, and recommendations based on the best available evidence and patients’ stated goals and priorities. Here, we present a surgeon-to-surgeon consultative model that surmounts many barriers to perioperative palliative care consultation and, as illustrated in the cases presented herein, offers profound and unique benefits for patients, families, and surgeons alike. While the support of a surgical colleague with palliative care skills can be helpful postoperatively in the setting of unanticipated outcomes or prolonged recovery, it is particularly beneficial when accessed preoperatively for the purposes of goal-concordant decision making and advance care planning. We encourage both individuals and professional societies to develop and expand the niche for surgeons interested in assisting with goal setting and shared decision making for patients on a consultative basis, particularly in the preoperative period.
Die deutsche Reitpferdezucht - aktueller Stand und wirtschaftliche Bedeutung

description: Pferdesport und -zucht haben sich in den vergangenen drei bis vier Jahrzehnten zu einem bedeutenden Wirtschaftsfaktor entwickelt. Eine Marktanalyse der Deutschen Reiterlichen Vereinigung (FN) ergab, dass der Beitrag des Pferdes zum Bruttosozialprodukt der Bundesrepublik Deutschland rund fünf Milliarden Euro beträgt. Etwa eine Million Pferde leben heute wieder auf dem Gebiet der Bundesrepublik. Da für drei bis vier Pferde ein Arbeitsplatz geschaffen wird, beschäftigen aktuell Pferdezucht und -sport permanent etwa 300.000 Menschen.Statistische Auswertungen belegen zusätzlich, dass Deutschland – sowohl bei der Zahl der Reiter als auch bei der Anzahl an Pferden – eine Spitzenposition in Europa einnimmt. Die Erfolge von Pferden aus deutscher Zucht genießen weltweit hohe Anerkennung.Die Pensionspferdehaltung hat sich zu einer speziellen Einkommensalternative für zahlreiche landwirtschaftliche Betriebe – vor allem in Großstadtnähe – entwickelt. Der wesentliche Unterschied zur herkömmlichen landwirtschaftlichen Produktion ist der Dienstleistungscharakter dieser Arbeit.Die Entwicklung der Pferdehaltung, weg vom Nutztier hin zum Freizeitgefährten, brachte auch eine Veränderung in den Haltungsbedingungen für Pferde mit sich.Moderne, helle und gut klimatisierte Stallungen sind heute wesentlich tiergerechter als frühere (= vorzugsweise ältere Anbindehaltungen). Darüber hinaus bieten sie den darin tätigen Menschen auch komfortablere Arbeitsbedingungen als früher.Die Pferdezucht und -haltung gehört – trotz ihrer spezifischen Probleme, die jeder Betriebszweig mit sich bringt – nicht zu den großen ‚Sorgenkindern’ in der aktuellen agrarpolitischen Diskussion bzw. in zugehörigen Tierschutzdebatten. Es ist offensichtlich gut gelungen, die Pferdehaltung auf den noch einzigen wichtigen Verwendungszweck, den Einsatz in der Freizeitgestaltung, abzustimmen und einzustellen.

Refroidissement du réacteur
Température de Leidenfrost

description: Lors d'un accident de perte de réfrigérant primaire (APRP), le cœur du réacteur perd son inventaire en eau et malgré l'arrêt automatique du réacteur par chute des barres de contrôle (qui provoque l'arrêt de la réaction en chaine), la température des assemblages va augmenter rapidement du fait de la puissance résiduelle produite par le cœur ; cette puissance est due à la désintégration des produits de fission. Cette source thermique représente environ 7 \% de la puissance nominale du réacteur et elle décroit de façon exponentielle. Ainsi, même à l'arrêt, l'existence de cette puissance résiduelle explique qu'il faille refroidir le réacteur et que la température des assemblages puisse augmenter très rapidement dans les premiers instants suivant l'arrêt car ils ne sont plus refroidis. Ce refroidissement va s'opérer par une injection d'eau « froide » par le bas des assemblages et il va donner lieu à un écoulement dispersé de vapeur d'eau et de gouttes (en anglais, dispersed film flow boiling ou DFFB) qui se propage dans tout l'assemblage assez rapidement car même si la vitesse de renoyage est faible, le débit de vapeur générée au front de trempe donnera lieu à des vitesses importantes de la vapeur et des gouttes entrainées. Par conséquent, cet écoulement joue un rôle primordial dans le refroidissement initial des crayons combustibles qui ne sont pas encore immergés dans l'eau. Dans cet article, on va s'intéresser à l'influence de la puissance résiduelle sur la température de remouillage de la paroi. En effet, les assemblages se refroidissant en aval de la zone de trempe, on va passer d'un écoulement de type DFFB sans mouillage de la paroi à un écoulement mouillant si la température de paroi passe en deçà du point de Leidenfrost. Des expériences ont montré que cette température est influencée par plusieurs paramètres dont la puissance résiduelle. C'est ce que nous allons montrer et analyser dans cet article.

description: This Article examines Russian securities law, case law, and market data. To an international observer, Russian capital markets and securities law may appear ostensibly ordinary, albeit placed within an unstable socioeconomic milieu. Securities law and disclosure rules seem somewhat similar to those in the U.S., whereas corporate law provisions are an amalgam of U.S.-U.K.-West European principles. At the same time, a number of hidden trends affect capital markets, the heart of any economy. Those trends upend this fluid Westernized amalgam and may even be linked to the communist past of the country. The capital market portico is typically propped up by robust market infrastructure, public enforcement, private actions, and disclosure rules. Reporting rules enable investors and regulators to act upon the information and improve market monitoring. Out of the four elements, it appears that only the Russian reporting requirements are of adequate quality. Does this single pillar provide sufficient support to the Russian capital markets? It is unlikely that without better shareholder monitoring and more efficient market infrastructure, the mandatory disclosure regime will single-handedly prop up the capital market machinery. The Article urges Russian policymakers to take, first, a more pro-shareholder and pro-plaintiff view on private litigation, public enforcement, and corporate governance, and, second, a more pro-private-exchange policy stance.
The impact of related party transactions on performance and valuation of Malaysian listed firms: testing the influence of corporate governance
Creators: name: Gan, Victor
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study examines the impact of related party (RP) transactions on the performance and valuation of Malaysian listed firms, and the influence that corporate governance has. The study sample was 187 companies listed in Malaysia from 2012 to 2014. Evidence is presented that tunnelling RP transactions have a significant negative association with firm valuation, consistent with the conflict of interest view that these transactions result in the extraction of private benefits from the firm. Propping RP transactions have a significant positive impact on firm valuation, giving credence to them being efficient transactions that can benefit firms operating in imperfect markets.

description: Conventional network security solutions are performed on networklayer packets using statistical measures. These types of traffic analysis may not catch stealthy attacks carried out by today’s malware. We aim to develop a host-based security tool that identifies suspicious outbound network connections through analyzing the user’s surfing activities. Specifically, our solution for Web applications predicts user’s network connections by analyzing Web content; unpredicted traffic is further investigated with the user’s help. We describe our method and implementation as well as the experimental results in evaluating its efficiency and effectiveness. We describe how our studies can be applied to detecting bot infection. In order to assess the workload of our host-based traffic-analysis tool, we also perform a large-scale characterization study on 500 university-users’ wireless network traces for 4-month period. We study both the statistical and temporal patterns of individuals’ web usage behaviors from collected wireless network traces. Users are classified into different profiles based on their web usage patterns. Our results show that users have regularities in their Web activities and the expected workload of our traffic-analysis solution is low.

description: This study surveying young adults with minority gender identities found 1) high rates of psychological distress during COVID-19, 2) that pandemic stress was associated with greater psychological distress and 3) transphobic discrimination was associated with greater gender dysphoria and emotion dysregulation, which were both associated with greater psychological distress. This highlights the mechanisms underlying trans health disparities and the importance of recognizing transphobic/cisnormative experiences and systems of oppression when conducting research or providing services to support the transgender community.
description: Gender diverse people in the United States are uniquely vulnerable to deleterious health outcomes because of long-enshrined systems of oppression and marginalization in American society. Trans young adults are especially vulnerable to these deleterious outcomes owing to their unique position in the life course. However, more research is needed on the mechanisms through which this marginalization contributes to mental health disparities in trans populations. Using a minority stress framework and online cross-sectional survey design, the current study examines potential mediators of the relationship between transgender identity-related distal stress and psychological distress from late May to early July 2020 in a sample of transgender young adults (N = 239; ages 18–29). More than half the sample scored above the K6 cutoff for severe psychological distress. Distal stress had a significant direct (β = .17, SE = .04, t = 2.76, p = .006) and indirect effect on psychological distress. Distal stress was indirectly associated with psychological distress through gender dysphoria (β = .04; 95% CI [.001, .10]) and emotion dysregulation (β = .16; 95% CI [.09, .23]). COVID-19 pandemic stressors were also positively associated with psychological distress (β = .36, SE = .12, t = 5.95, p < .001). Results highlight the significant mental health burden facing the trans community especially in the COVID-19 context, support a conceptualization of gender dysphoria as connected to experiences of oppression, and affirm the relevance of emotion dysregulation within minority stress frameworks. Mental health resources cognizant of the specific challenges experienced by trans young adults as well as policy changes that seek to address underlying structural transphobia in American culture and institutions are urgently needed.
Statistical analysis on the duration of Italian governement cabinets from 1861 to 2001

description: The duration of cabinets in a parliamentary democracy depends both on support from Parliament and, when necessary, on agreement among the different parties of the governing coalition. Since the foundation of the Reign of Italy (1861) until 2001, 119 cabinets have ruled, ten of which have not been considered in this analysis because terminated by non-political causes (death or serious illness of chief of government) or because they have not operated under control of Parliament. On the 109 durations, which form the basis for the analysis, a gamma random variable has been adapted through maximum likelihood estimation, which has proved to be a valid tool for the interpretation of the data. In fact, a Kolmogoroff-Smirnoff test has shown that a gamma with n=2 well adapts to the three different definitions of duration (political, juridical and until resignation). Cabinets which have not obtained Parliament approval, have been treated separately. Two detailed investigations have confirmed the n=2 estimation: in the first the cabinets of the Reign have been opposed to those of the Republic and in the second politicians with greater government experience have been opposed to the others. The value taken on by this parameter allows to decompose the duration into the sum of two negative exponential variables with the same parameter ? and to dare the interpretation that Italian governments default on the second occasion of problems they encounter.

Year: 2007

description: Many series such as agricultural commodity prices and economic and financial series, exhibit strong dependence-long memory property. Since many time series also exhibit seasonal patterns, this paper considers a number of tests - namely Hassler's extension of Geweke and Porter-Hudack's (1983) (GPH) semi-parametric test, Robinson's frequency domain score test and Silvapulle's time domain test - to assess the long memory properties of quarterly time series at zero and sesonal frequencies. Very little is known about the finite sample statistical property of these tests. In a simulation study, we find that time domain and semi-parametric tests generally have the rejection rates under the null hypothesis close to the nominal level, with the latter tests' rejection rates higher than the nominal level at the semi-annual frequency. In terms of power, the time domain score test was shown to be superior with respect to the others. Establishing the reliability of these tests in finite samples is very useful to applied researchers.

Health care reform in China

description: In recent years, Chinese local governments have experimented with integrating the social health insurance system segmented between rural and urban areas to unify the administration, policy, and funds of various health insurance programs. In this study, we take advantage of the staggered implementation of the urban-rural health insurance integration across cities over time to examine the impacts of the integration on rural residents’ health care utilization and health outcomes. Based on an original city-year level policy dataset and the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) for the years 2011, 2013, and 2015, we find that the integration significantly increases the middle-aged and older rural residents’ inpatient care utilization and this positive effect is particularly salient in poor areas. Moreover, we find that the positive policy effect of integration is attributed to enhanced health insurance benefits, such as a higher reimbursement rate for inpatient care. However, the integration has limited impacts on the middle-aged and older rural residents’ health outcomes. This study reveals the partial success of urban-rural health insurance integration to reduce health care inequality in China.

These estimators can be used as effectiveness indicators for the evulation of the classes, which may vary in terms of the students' characteristics as well as the problems in the student/teacher relationship. The differences between classes size and the intraclass correlation coefficient value, show that empirical Bayes estimator is more efficient than the ordinary estimator.

Understanding identity transformation after significant involuntary loss: recovery strategies, self-concepts and the role of possessions in a post-disaster context
Creators: name: Jayawickrama Withanage, Dushan Chaminda
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this research was to extend the current understanding of how survivors of natural disasters recover their self-identity. The secondary aim was to determine the roles that possessions play in restoring self-identity. To this end, a qualitative inquiry was conducted with Sri Lankan survivors of the Asian Tsunami. Findings reveal that different aspects of one’s ‘self’ are affected by losses, and survivors adopt several strategies to transform their self-identity. Possessions were found to play pivotal roles in identity transformation. The study informs those involved in disaster recovery support activities of how to effectively help survivors recover more fully in future.

description: The aim of the paper is to give an estimate of the population size when neither a complete list nor some incomplete lists are available and the populution is partially undetectable. In such a framework the center sampling technique proves an essential tool. A first estimate relies on the likelihood approach assuming the complete detectability of the units. Then, this unrealistic hypothesis is removed introducing a prior distribution on detectability, so that a second estimate is given resorting to integrate likelihood. Finally, the previous estimates are compared through a simulation study.

description: This issue of Engramma is inspired by a reflection on the theme of Pier Paolo Pasolini and the Middle Ages which started last September during the Pasolini Summer School and it is an anthology of the contributions by the authors who intervened then. The original core was then expanded with a small collection of essays aimed at enriching the scientific debate. Overall, this volume intends to shed light on the complex aspects of language, poetry and themes related to models deriving from the Medieval traditions, dominated by Dante and by other authors like Petrarca, Boccaccio, Giotto and Cimabue, and on the ways Pasolini appropriates and reinvents them. Figurative art, poetry and prose of the Middle Ages all played a crucial role in Pasolini’s works - whether literature, theatre or cinema.
An application of the asymptotic theory to a threshold model for the estimate of Martens Hardness

description: Hardness measurements have a significant role in mechanical metrology, as they are frequently used to characterise materials properties relevant to industrial processes. A recently introduced method, called Martens Hardness, is based on force and indentation records obtained during a test cycle; the Force/Depth Curve, which describes the indetation pattern, is typically formed by two parts having a zero-point in common. A segmented regression model is proposed in this paper, based on the introduction of a threshold parameter in order to estimate the unknown zero-point. The problem is not trivial, since the relationship between observed force and indentation depth is structural and, moreover, the number of nuisance parameters grows with the number of measured data. The asymptotic likelihood theory leads to an estimate of the unknown parameters of the model. Monte Carlo simulations are resorted to in order to analyse the properties of estimators under different hypotheses about measurement errors, and to etablish the applicability conditions of the method proposed.

description: This essay investigates the contribution of Auerbach's stylcritic to the elaboration of Pasolini's critical method. The paper focuses on three notions derived from Auerbach: mimesis, integrazione figurale (figural integration), adempimento (fulfillement); all concepts that aim to develop an idea of realism. So, Auerbach's contribution appears to be closely connected with that of Spitzer, although it is also, in Pasolini’s works, in partial contrast.

description: A finite-dimensional approximation to general discrete-time non linear filtering problems is provided. It consists in a direct approximation to the recursive Bayes formula, based on a Hermite polynomials expansion of the transition density of the signal process. Tha approximation is in the sense of convergence, in a suitable weighted norm, to the conditional density of a signal process given the observations. The choise of the norm is in turn made so as to guarantee also the convergence of the conditional moments as well as to allow the evaluation of an upper bound for the approximation error.

description: Sequential fractionation of AFEX-pretreated corn stover extracts was carried out using ultra-centrifugation, ultra-filtration, and solid phase extraction to isolate various classes of pretreatment products to evaluate their inhibitory effect on cellulases. Ultra-centrifugation removed dark brown precipitates that caused no appreciable enzyme inhibition. Ultra-filtration of ultra-centrifuged AFEX-pretreated corn stover extractives using a 10 kDa molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) membrane removed additional high molecular weight components that accounted for 24–28% of the total observed enzyme inhibition while a 3 kDa MWCO membrane removed 60–65%, suggesting significant inhibition is caused by oligomeric materials. Solid phase extraction (SPE) of AFEX-pretreated corn stover extractives after ultra-centrifugation removed 34–43% of the inhibition; ultra-filtration with a 5 kDa membrane removed 44–56% of the inhibition and when this ultra-filtrate was subjected to SPE a total of 69–70% of the inhibition were removed. Mass spectrometry found several phenolic compounds among the hydrophobic inhibition removed by SPE adsorption.
Pasolini poeta del mondo terreno: La Mortaccia

Dante

description: The essay offers an analysis of the La Mortaccia, an unfinished work thought as a rewriting of Dante’s Inferno. The main points examined concern the style and the language used, the construction of the suburban character (borgataro), the crisis of realism after the publication of Una vita violenta (1959), the influence of Dante’s interpretation by Auerbach, the study of the historical and political context marked by the publication of the article Marxisants and the relationship with The Divine Mimesis, which in 1975 takes up the project of rewriting Dante's Inferno. In conclusion, the article shows how La Mortaccia, as a literary failure, exhibits some of the main theoretical and poetic problems leading Pasolini to make his film debut in 1961 with Accattone.

description: The essay investigates Villon's presence in Pasolini’s work: as a model of a marginal poet, transfigured in the experience of his own authorial subjectivity; as a formal model for some texts, in particular in the Friulian language; as an intertextual specter, in some of his poems; as an embodied character, in Alì dagli occhi azzurri.
Cultural Capital and Transnational Parenting: The Case of Ghanaian Migrants in the United States

description: What does cultural capital mean in a transnational context? In this article, Cati Coe and Serah Shani illustrate through the case of Ghanaian immigrants to the United States that the concept of cultural capital offers many insights into immigrants' parenting strategies, but that it also needs to be refined in several ways to account for the transnational context in which migrants and their children operate. The authors argue that, for many immigrants, the folk model of success means that they seek for their children skills, knowledge, and ways of being in the world that are widely valued in the multiple contexts in which they operate. For Ghanaian migrants, parenting includes using social and institutional resources from Ghana as well as the United States. The multiplicity and contradictions in cultural capital across different social fields complicate their parenting “projects” and raise questions about the reproduction of social class through the intergenerational transmission of cultural capital.

Stockage thermique latent
Géométrie multitube et calandre ailetée

description: Le stockage thermique latent est un procédé de stockage prometteur qui a suscité beaucoup d'intérêt ces dernières années en raison de sa densité énergétique élevée. Cependant, il se heurte à un problème majeur, celui de la faible conductivité thermique des matériaux utilisés pour ce type de stockage, à savoir les Matériaux à Changement de Phase (MCP), avec pour conséquence une limitation des échanges de la chaleur à l'intérieur de l'unité de stockage. Parmi les techniques utilisées pour surmonter ce problème figure l'intensification du transfert de chaleur par extension de surface. Dans cette optique, la présente étude numérique propose une nouvelle configuration d'échangeur de chaleur de type tube et calandre, dénommée unité de stockage multitube et calandre aileté. Cette unité de stockage est destinée à la récupération et la valorisation de la chaleur fatale industrielle à basse et moyenne température. Elle consiste en quatre tubes caloporteur reliés entre eux par des ailettes longitudinales ainsi qu'à la calandre. Pour évaluer ses performances pendant les phases de fusion et de solidification, elle a été comparée à iso-volume du MCP avec un échangeur multitube, constitué de 4 tubes nus (sans ailettes), qui sert de géométrie de référence. Le MCP considéré dans cette étude est l'érythritol contenu dans la calandre, et l'huile thermique Hytherm 600 qui circule dans les tubes est utilisée comme fluide caloporteur. L'étude est menée avec le code de calcul Star CCM+ en employant l'approche enthalpie-porosité pour la modélisation du changement de phase. Après une phase de validation de notre approche avec des résultats numériques de la littérature et une analyse de l'indépendance au maillage et pas de temps, les résultats sont analysés tant au niveau local que global pour déterminer précisément les performances et l'intensification des échanges apportée par la géométrie avec extension de surface. Les résultats montrent que la configuration multitube à ailettes améliore le transfert de chaleur entre le fluide caloporteur et le MCP par rapport au multitube nu, se traduisant par une réduction du temps de fusion de 27,4 \% et du temps de solidification de 31,5 \%. Cette étude montre également que les effets tridimensionnels liés au gradient axial de température dans les tubes caloporteur ont une influence non négligeable sur les processus de fusion-solidification.
Crafting a family business: wives weaving the threads of work and family life
Creators: name: Cosson, Barbara
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Family businesses are a significant contributor to the economy making succession planning a critical issue. Wives contribution to children’s involvement in the business and succession planning is largely overlooked. This thesis critically analyses how wives’ experiences in the business impact on their feelings and actions in relation to their children’s involvement. It pays particular attention to how they co-create the business, emphasizing the importance of their care work to outcomes of status and responsibility. The thesis shows how and why some are influential as drivers of succession planning while others are complicit in undermining succession.
Pasolini e il Decameron Ipotesi per un’opera sogno

description: The essay proposes some useful interpretative lines for understanding Pasolini’s expressive strategies up to the film inspired by Boccaccio: 1. the decision to adopt a short narrative form such as the short story; 2. the reworking of the original text; 3. the intersection between Dante and Boccaccio as builders of narrative structures that can be reused by the literary tradition; 4. the inclusion of medieval painting in the film, in particular the choice of Giotto (or the pupil) and Brueghel’s painting; 5. the soundtrack and the recovery of popular traditions.

description: Un modèle de propagation du rayonnement avec fluorescence pour la quantification de biomarqueurs en neurochirurgie est proposé dans cette étude et simulé avec la méthode de Monte-Carlo. Ce modèle s'appuie sur l'équation de transfert radiatif dans laquelle est ajouté un terme source tenant compte de l'émission par fluorescence, et qui va impliquer un couplage entre les équations définies à la longueur d'onde d'absorption par le fluorophore, et aux longueurs d'onde d'émission fluorescente. Des mesures de spectroscopie de fluorescence sur fantômes optiques ont permis de valider expérimentalement l'approche proposée.
