BDI Modelling and Simulation of Human Behaviours in Bushfires
2016
Each summer in Australia, bushfires burn many hectares of forest, causing deaths, injuries, and destruction of property. Emergency management strategies rely on expected citizens’ behaviour which differs from reality. In order to raise their awareness about the real population behaviour, we want to provide them with a realistic agent-based simulation. The philosophically-grounded BDI architecture provides a very suitable approach but is little used due to the lack of adapted tools. This paper uses this case study to illustrate two new tools to fill this gap: the Tactics Development Framework (TDF) and GAMA BDI architecture.

2017
Am 26. Februar 2016 verabschiedeten die 207 stimmberechtigten Delegierten des auserordentlichen FIFA1-Kongress ihr neues Reformpaket. Neben einer Vielzahl von Veranderungen wurde hierbei auch erstmals die Einfuhrung einer Frauenquote beschlossen. Danach soll zukunftig „jede der sechs Konfoderationen (…) mindestens eine Frau in den FIFA-Rat entsenden. Als Ziel wird eine Frauenquote von 30 Prozent genannt.“ (zdfsport.de: 2016).
Covid-19 in Deutschland – Erklärung, Prognose und Einfluss gesundheitspolitischer Maßnahmen
2020
Zusammenfassung Die Autoren erklären den bisherigen Verlauf von Covid-19 in Deutschland durch Regressionsanalysen und epidemiologische Modelle. Sie beschreiben und quantifizieren den Effekt der gesundheitspolitischen Maßnahmen (GPM), die bis zum 19. April in Kraft waren. Sie berechnen den erwarteten Verlauf der Covid-19-Epidemie in Deutschland, wenn es diese Maßnahmen nicht gegeben hätte, und zeigen, dass die GPM einen erheblichen Beitrag zur Reduktion der Infektionszahlen geleistet haben. Die seit 20. April gelockerten GPM sind zwischen den Bundesländern relativ heterogen, was ein Glücksfall für die Wissenschaft ist. Mittels einer Analyse dieser Heterogenität kann aufgedeckt werden, welche…
La performance hospitalière : à la recherche d'un modèle multidimensionnel cohérent
2009
Cet article a pour ambition de proposer un modele multidimensionnel coherent de la performance hospitaliere. En effet, le secteur hospitalier doit repondre a une performance globale et multidimensionnelle (qualite et securite des soins, utilisation optimale des ressources, productivite, satisfaction du patient, etc.). En France, aucun modele integrant les differentes dimensions de la performance hospitaliere n’a pour l’instant ete instaure alors que l’hopital public est au centre d’enjeux essentiels pour son avenir. Pour construire ce modele, nous nous appuierons d’une part sur une comparaison des systemes hospitaliers de trois pays anglo-saxons et d’autre part, sur une revue des cadres con…

Social integration of Ethiopian and Eritrean women in Switzerland through informal sport settings
2021
This study investigated the role of informal sport settings (i.e. self-organised and non-voluntary sports clubs) in the social integration of Ethiopian and Eritrean women into Swiss society. Social integration seen as a multidimensional, interdependent process between the interaction of social bond, bridge and links; and two-way interaction between the migrant and local community. Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (n���=���12, 18���51���years old) was used to understand the interplay between social integration and participation in informal sport settings. The findings indicated that such settings have become a crucial sphere for establishing and reb…
What Are the Success Factors of Multilingual Families? Relationships Between Linguistic Attitudes and Community Dynamics
2021
The research focuses on the influence of emotional, cognitive, and social climate on the language choices of multilingual families, and the impact they can have on their general well-being, intergenerational relationships, and the community context. The methodological framework of reference is Grounded Theory. Collected data concern language practices, attitudes, emotions, and generational, trigenerational, and social interactive dynamics of multilingual families. The results include key insights into the variables underlying the linguistic attitudes of multicultural families. Two Network Views suggest that linguistic attitudes, such as the conscious management of specific and complex dynam…

“As Many as Possible for as Long as Possible”—A Case Study of a Soccer Team That Fosters Multiple Outcomes
2021
The personal assets framework suggests that dynamic elements of (a) personal engagement in activities, (b) quality social dynamics, and (c) appropriate settings will influence an athlete’s long-term outcomes of performance, personal development, and continued participation in sport. The aim of the present study was to conduct a case study of a Norwegian age-restricted team that was successful in promoting participation, performance, and positive development for individual participants and to investigate how the dynamic elements of activities, social dynamics, and settings have led to these long-term outcomes. The results indicated that the case is a best-practice example of successful attai…
