Recherche et developpement conceptuels autour du bien etre au travail entre mesure et action
Year: 2014

L'INRS a initie des 2003 un axe de recherche dedie au bien etre au travail. Ce depart etait en phase avec la mise en avant du concept de bien etre par les instances europeennes en charge de la SST et tant en France qu'en Europe, l'intention etait de repondre a la montee deja visible des preoccupations relatives aux RPS. Le terme de bien etre apparait egalement comme une strategie possible pour les entreprises et les administrations, strategie diametralement opposee a la gestion par le stress, la peur, l'exclusion des moins aptes (travailleurs vieillissants, personnels devenus demotives a force d'etre sous pression) S'agissant des travaux inities par l'INRS, on peut considerer qu'ils sont a present arrives a maturite et presentent une certaine coherence. Cette coherence renouvelle par certains aspects d'anciennes manieres de conduire la prevention, soit parce qu'elles sont mal adaptees aux RPS, soit parce qu'elles ne correspondent pas a certaines des evolutions de la gouvernance interne des entreprises. Ainsi, on retiendra des approches bien etre 1deg une reduction de l'insistance sur l'objectivation des risques, car il faut tenir compte du fait que les RPS sont des risques qui prennent racine dans la relation subjective que les salaries nouent avec leur travail (Gollac et Bodier, 2011) 2deg le necessaire decloisonnement de la prevention avec d'autres problematiques de l'entreprise gestion des ages, motivation, maintien des competences 3deg l'imperatif d'une action precoce et sa preeminence par rapport au diagnostic 4deg le role central accorde aux salaries comme lecteurs des problemes qui les concernent et acteurs du changement. Outre les reflexions conceptuelles, les etudes de l'INRS ont progresse dans deux directions et deux demarches ont ete elaborees. La premiere demarche dite Satin est construite autour d'un questionnaire de sante mis au point en partenariat avec l'Universite de Lorraine. Elle est davantage adaptee aux structures de taille moyenne ou grande, qu'elle aborde au niveau des equipes de travail. La seconde demarche s'inspire du paradigme systemique et est plus adaptee aux PMI PME. Elle a egalement beneficie du concours de l'Universite de Lorraine notamment au travers d'une these actuellement en phase de redaction.

Evidence based guidelines on the therapeutic use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
Venue: Clinical Neurophysiology
Year: 2014

A group of European experts was commissioned to establish guidelines on the therapeutic use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) from evidence published up until March 2014, regarding pain, movement disorders, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, consciousness disorders, tinnitus, depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, craving/addiction, and conversion. Despite unavoidable inhomogeneities, there is a sufficient body of evidence to accept with level A (definite efficacy) the analgesic effect of high frequency (HF) rTMS of the primary motor cortex (M1) contralateral to the pain and the antidepressant effect of HF rTMS of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) A Level B recommendation (probable efficacy) is proposed for the antidepressant effect of low frequency (LF) rTMS of the right DLPFC, HF rTMS of the left DLPFC for the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, and LF rTMS of contralesional M1 in chronic motor stroke. The effects of rTMS in a number of indications reach level C (possible efficacy) including LF rTMS of the left temporoparietal cortex in tinnitus and auditory hallucinations. It remains to determine how to optimize rTMS protocols and techniques to give them relevance in routine clinical practice. In addition, professionals carrying out rTMS protocols should undergo rigorous training to ensure the quality of the technical realization, guarantee the proper care of patients, and maximize the chances of success. Under these conditions, the therapeutic use of rTMS should be able to develop in the coming years.
Physical Layer Security in Multibeam Satellite Systems
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications
Year: 2012

Security threats introduced due to the vulnerability of the transmission medium may hinder the proliferation of Ka band multibeam satellite systems for civil and military data applications. This paper sets the analytical framework and then studies physical layer security techniques for fixed legitimate receivers dispersed throughout multiple beams, each possibly surrounded by multiple (passive) eavesdroppers. The design objective is to minimize via transmit beamforming the costly total transmit power on board the satellite, while satisfying individual intended users' secrecy rate constraints. Assuming state of the art satellite channel models, when perfect channel state information (CSI) about the eavesdroppers is available at the satellite, a partial zero forcing approach is proposed for obtaining a low complexity sub optimal solution. For the optimal solution, an iterative algorithm combining semi definite programming relaxation and the gradient based method is devised by studying the convexity of the problem. Furthermore, the use of artificial noise as an additional degree of freedom for protection against eavesdroppers is explored. When only partial CSI about the eavesdroppers is available, we study the problem of minimizing the eavesdroppers' received signal to interference plus noise ratios. Simulation results demonstrate substantial performance improvements over existing approaches.
Exploring the governance mechanisms of quasi integration in buyer supplier relationships
Year: 2009

This article deals with quasi integration governance mechanisms in the context of business to business buyer seller relationships. Based on transaction cost analysis and resource dependence theory, the authors identify four key elements of quasi integration: legal contract, joint problem solving, joint planning, and collaborative communication. From the perspective of resource dependence theory, the authors examine the effects of interdependence on these four elements. Empirical evidence derived from a study of 398 Chinese companies indicates that (1) the four governance mechanisms of quasi integration are driven by inter firm dependence; and that (2) legal contract serves as an important foundation of joint problem solving. In addition, the authors examine the distinct effects of the four elements on two critical exchange outcomes: supplier performance and buyer commitment. Their analysis shows that legal contract, joint planning, and collaborative communication positively affect supplier's performance, while joint problem solving and collaborative communication significantly enhance the buyer's commitment to the relationship.
Total Quality Management: Concept, Constructs Models
Year: 2019

The term Total Quality Management (TQM) originated in the 1980s. However, principles of TQM were being used as early as the 1950s. TQM was greatly influenced by the transformation of Japanese industries after World War 2. After the war, the Japanese rebuilt their economy and industries by focusing on Quality. This allowed them to drastically improve their productivity and penetrate international markets, particularly in the United States. The TQM movement was also inspired by the work of Deming, Juran and Feigenbaum (Zehir et al. 2012) TQM models have been used to manage and improve organisational quality ever since. Educational institutions also benefit from TQM because they are required to meet the needs of their customers who are, in this case, the learners. However, the learners have many educational needs such as cognitive, emotional and social needs. For example, it is impossible to satisfy the needs of learners by simply providing them with better classrooms, but one must consider the skills of teachers, the content and the school environment as well. As such, all aspects of the school must continuously improve so as to meet the needs of the learners. Providing quality education is also the focus of the 4th UN sustainable development goal. Therefore, TQM provides a systematic way of improving the quality of education in schools so that they may meet the many needs of its main customers i.e. learners. Talavera (2004) notes that there is no standard definition for Total Quality Management. However, Ravindran and Kamaravel, (2016) define TQM as a plan and systematic approach to ensure quality and continuous improvement. The main goal of TQM is to satisfy the needs of the customer and all parts of the organization must pursue this by constantly improving their performance. There are 2 aspects of TQM. First, it is a philosophy or mindset of continuous improvement in an organization. Second, it describes the practical tools and techniques used in the process. As such, TQM has the potential to improve the primary education system as a whole by changing mindsets and improving productivity. There are 3 major principals of TQM as follows:
Osseointegration and foreign body reaction: Titanium implants activate the immune system and suppress bone resorption during the first 4 weeks after implantation
Venue: Clinical implant dentistry and related research
Year: 2018

Osseointegration mechanisms are still not entirely understood.  The present pilot study aims at demonstrating the involvement of the immune system in the process of osseointegration around titanium implants, comparing bone healing in the presence and absence of a titanium implant.  Fifteen New Zealand White rabbits had one osteotomy performed at each of the distal femurs; on one side, no implant was placed (sham) and on the other side a titanium implant was introduced. Subjects were sacrificed at 10 and 28 days for gene expression analysis (three subjects each time point) and for decalcified qualitative histology (six subjects each time point) At 10 days, the three subjects for gene expression analysis were part of the six subjects for histology.  Gene expression analysis: at 10 days, ARG1 was significantly up regulated around titanium, indicating an activation of M2 macrophages. At 28 days CD11b, ARG1, NCF 1, and C5aR1 were significantly up regulated, indicating activation of the innate immune system, respectively M1 macrophages, M2 macrophages and group 2 innate lymphoid cells, neutrophils, and the complement system; on the other hand, the bone resorption markers RANKL, OPG, cathepsin K, and TRAP were significantly down regulated around titanium. HISTOLOGY at 10 days new bone formation is seen around both sham and titanium sites, separating bone marrow from the osteotomy/implant site; at 28 days no bone trabeculae is seen on the sham site, which is healing at the original cortical level, whereas around titanium implants, bone continues into organization of more mature cortical like bone, forming a layer between the implant and the bone marrow.  The presence of a titanium implant during bone healing activates the immune system and displays type 2 inflammation, which is likely to guide the host biomaterial relationship. At the same time, bone resorption is suppressed around titanium sites compared to sham sites after 4 weeks of implantation, suggesting a shift to a more pronounced bone forming environment. This suggests two important steps in osseointegration: identification of the titanium foreign body by the immune system and the development of a bone forming environment, that at tissue level translates into bone build up on the titanium surface and can be perceived as an attempt to isolate the foreign body from the bone marrow space.
Family and School Context: Effects on the Mental Health of Brazilian Students
Venue: International journal of environmental research and public health
Year: 2020

Mental health during adolescence can affect an individual's long term quality of life. However, the effects of family and school contexts on students' mental health have been little explored. This study aims to analyze the relationships between family and school life and feelings of loneliness and trouble sleeping owing to worries in adolescents. The data from this cross sectional study were obtained from Brazil's National School Health Survey (PeNSE) which obtained its data through questionnaires. This study's sample consisted of 102,072 ninth grade students aged between 11 and 19 years, 52,782 (51.7% of whom were female, enrolled in public and private schools throughout Brazil. The methodology consisted of an analysis using the Poisson regression model. Regarding the family context, mental health issues were associated with hunger, distant relationships with parents, and family violence. Regarding the school context, feelings of loneliness and trouble sleeping were associated with poor peer relationships, insecurity at school, and schools in more violent areas. This study contributes to the elaboration of public policies aimed at bringing awareness to family members and school bodies that indicators of mental health in adolescents are influenced by the quality of bonds established within these environments.
Detecting Manipulations in Video
Venue: Video Verification in the Fake News Era
Year: 2019

This chapter presents the techniques researched and developed within InVID for the forensic analysis of videos, and the detection and localization of forgeries within User Generated Videos (UGVs) Following an overview of state of the art video tampering detection techniques, we observed that the bulk of current research is mainly dedicated to frame based tampering analysis or encoding based inconsistency characterization. We built upon this existing research, by designing forensics filters aimed to highlight any traces left behind by video tampering, with a focus on identifying disruptions in the temporal aspects of a video. As for many other data analysis domains, deep neural networks show very promising results in tampering detection as well. Thus, following the development of a number of analysis filters aimed to help human users in highlighting inconsistencies in video content, we proceeded to develop a deep learning approach aimed to analyze the outputs of these forensics filters and automatically detect tampered videos. In this chapter, we present our survey of the state of the art with respect to its relevance to the goals of InVID, the forensics filters we developed and their potential role in localizing video forgeries, as well as our deep learning approach for automatic tampering detection. We present experimental results on benchmark and real world data, and analyze the results. We observe that the proposed method yields promising results compared to the state of the art, especially with respect to the algorithm's ability to generalize to unknown data taken from the real world. We conclude with the research directions that our work in InVID has opened for the future.
Methods of promoting "Active Learning" of English at Cihan University
Year: 2015

Teaching English to non native speakers needs to incorporate up to date techniques and strategies that are frequently updated to match the ever changing needs of modern society. In order for students to start acquiring English skills effectively inside the classroom, they need to be more active in their learning and be ready to take the initiative. For this to happen, lecturers need to adopt techniques that facilitate "active learning" with the suitable environment for students to make better use of their innate abilities and become active learners. In a classroom environment where active learning is prominent, students take responsibility of their learning of English as a second language with the lecturer acting as facilitator whose role is limited to providing instructions and supervising the process. Students will have more self confidence to express their opinions and actively participate in topic discussions. This paper discusses methods of active learning that can be applied in teaching English at Cihan University.
Ultrasmall WO3 x@g poly l glutamic Acid Nanoparticles as a Photoacoustic Imaging and Effective Photothermal Enhanced Chemodynamic Therapy Agent for Cancer.
Venue: ACS applied materials interfaces
Year: 2018

Synergistic treatment strategies for cancer have attracted increasing attention owing to their enhanced therapeutic effects compared with monotherapy. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging and thriving in situ treatment for cancer owing to its high regioselectivity and activation only by endogenous substances. However, the therapeutic effects of CDT are hindered by low reaction speeds. Here, ultrasmall WO3 x@g poly l glutamic acid (WO3 x@g PGA) nanoparticles (NPs) with good photoacoustic and photothermal properties were prepared, and their chemodynamic performance based on a Fenton like reaction was explored due to its good catalytic effect. The synergistic treatment effect was also investigated by photothermal enhanced CDT based on single WO3 x@g PGA NPs using a penetrating near infrared II laser both in vitro and in vivo. This work provides an effective treatment for cancer and further develops the CDT.
Dynamic analysis of bribery firms' environmental tax evasion in an emissions trading market
Year: 2020

Using an R&D based growth model with dual regulation, we analyse how environmental policies influence pollution, corruption, a growth rate, and welfare. Considering that polluting firms bribe bureaucrats to evade paying environmental tax, we find that a stricter environmental tax leads to a decrease in growth rate via a decrease in the permit rent as well as an increase in pollution and corruption per firm and results in worsening households' welfare and in improving the bureaucrats' welfare. Thus, tax evasion with corruption improves households' welfare and worsens the bureaucrats' welfare. Our findings imply that tax evasion under dual regulation improves social welfare.
Is There a Return on Investment for Training?
Venue: Psychiatric rehabilitation journal
Year: 2018

Funding for behavioral health service provider agencies is always limited, making it difficult to decide how and when to spend scarce resources on staff training. If evidence existed for a clear return on investment for certain training topics or techniques, agency administrators may find it easier to make the decisions about how much and what type of training to provide to staff.  In spite of expert opinion and some evidence that the most common training approaches are ineffective, yielding no return on investment, or a negative return (money wasted) agencies continue to provide primarily single session lecture based training either face to face or via a tedious and uninspiring online format. If this article, along with previous education and training columns, were to convince administrators to use their limited training dollars more wisely, the result is likely to be improved staff competencies and better service outcomes.  Sources include the personal experience of the author and the available literature on training effectiveness and return on investment for training initiatives.  Administrators need to make informed choices about using best practices for staff development. While the well designed studies that would clearly document return on investment for training in behavioral health services may not be possible or affordable, dialogue and consensus are needed on what measures might indicate effective training outcomes.
