Model Free Control for muscular force by Functional Electrical Stimulation using pulse width modulation
2016
International audience; Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a useful technique for restoring functions for patients with neurological disorders. Muscle activities can be artificially driven through delivery of electrical pulses to skeletal muscles. Typically, muscles are activated by using constant stimulation train with a fixed parameters (amplitude, frequency and pulse width). In addition, the FES systems do not adapt the parameters stimulation to obtain a desired force response during the rehabilitation session. The purpose of this study is to investigate a real-time FES system for adapting automatically the stimulation parameters (stimulation pulse width) to track a desired force…
Le "mille-feuille" des labellisations d'aires protégées en France : entre indigestion locale, complémentarité régionale et cohérence nationale
2022
National audience; Le leitmotiv du mille-feuille des aires protégées à la française est bien connu mais peu documenté. 20 types de labellisation peuvent être déployés à l’échelle métropolitaine, entrainant des superpositions spatiales non négligeables. Labelliser une aire protégée dans un territoire, c’est une cascade de processus qui s’inscrit dans l’histoire du droit de l’environnement. Cet écheveau complexe à la fois temporel, spatial et politique permet d’expliquer « l’indigestion » locale de la part des parties-prenantes, la complémentarité régionale qui actionne différents leviers règlementaires, administratifs et financiers et la cohérence nationale et internationale. Mais la labelli…
Blaming the Light, Claiming the Night. Actors, Issues and Effects of Lighting Conflicts in France since the 1980's
2014
International audience; Regarding environmental issues, conflictuality is a privileged way to reach the political arena. "Naming, Blaming, Claiming": three steps that make the controversy emerge, constitute the public issue, then bring it to the politi- cal agenda. These three stages are clearly identifiable in the history of night protection associative movements. These movements emerged in the 1970's in the United States of America, quickly disseminated enjoying a broader context of environmental thinking. Conflicts related to artificial lighting are structurally akin to conflicts of contradictory uses of a single resource: the night. For some - the technicists -, the night is the "good-s…
Bijušo ieslodzīto integrācija darba tirgū
2018
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot faktorus, kas bijušajam ieslodzītajam palīdz un kas traucē integrēties darba tirgū. Lai noskaidrotu, kādi faktori ietekmē bijušo ieslodzīto dzīvi pēc soda izciešanas, tiek pētīti reintegrāciju ietekmējošie faktori, kā arī valsts noteiktās un īstenotās atbalsta programmas bijušo ieslodzīto nodarbinātības veicināšanai. Mērķu sasniegšanai tika veiktas septiņas daļēji strukturētās intervijas ar bijušajiem ieslodzītajiem, kuri pēc ieslodzījuma dzīvo Gulbenes novadā un divas eksperta intervijas. Faktori, kas palīdz bijušo ieslodzīto integrācijai sabiedrībā un darba tirgū ir ģimenes atbalsts, paziņas, pozitīva sabiedrības un darba devēju attieksme, pieejamas un…
La rajola a la costa i els residus a l’interior. Mapa dels conflictes socioecològics al País Valencià
2020
EnglishIn the last decade, the Valencian Country has experimented a growth of the productive processes that has led to an unprecedented degradation of the territory. At the same time, the increase in the ecological, material and carbon footprint has led to the generation of socio-ecological conflicts. A typology of socio-ecological conflicts is proposed, consisting of 5 categories —derived from urban processes, infrastructures, pollution and public health, the extraction of mineral resources and the use of water resources—, which classifies and places them on the 'map of the socio-ecological conflicts of the Valencia Country'. The map locates such environmental conflicts. Furthermore, the u…
Izolacja oraz prawa i obowiązki skazanych odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności w zakładach karnych zamkniętych, o których mowa w art. 90 Kodeksu ka…
2020
Wykonywanie kary pozbawienia wolności związane jest z izolowaniem skazanych w zakładach karnych odpowiedniego typu. Warunki w zakładzie typu zamkniętego zostały tak określone, że prawa skazanych ograniczono głównie ze względu na konieczność utrzymania ładu i porządku wewnętrznego. Dlatego też takich skazanych jedynie uprawniono do przebywania w otwartych celach mieszkalnych, do zatrudnienia poza zakładem, do korzystania z zajęć kulturalnych i sportowych i nauki, do korzystania z własnej bielizny, obuwia i odzieży oraz widzeń (na określonych surowych zasadach). Z drugiej strony skazanych z tego typu zakładów zobowiązano do znoszenia ograniczeń w zakresie poruszania się po terenie zakładu or…
Halloysite Nanotubes for Cleaning, Consolidation and Protection
2017
Herein, we report our recent research concerning the development of halloysite based protocols for cleaning, consolidation and protection purposes. Surface modification of halloysite cavity by anionic surfactants was explored to fabricate inorganic micelles able to solubilize hydrophobic contaminants. Hybrid dispersions based on halloysite and ecocompatible polymers were tested as consolidants for paper and waterlogged archaeological woods. Encapsulation of deacidifying and flame retardant agents within the halloysite lumen was conducted with aim to obtain nanofiller with a long-term protection ability. The results prove the suitability and versatility of halloysite nanotubes, which are per…
¿Quién decide qué y cómo? el conflicto en torno a la participación ciudadana en el contexto del desarrollo de la iniciativa urbana: Cuenca-San Antón …
2018
This article describes the main results of an ethnographic study on citizen participation carried out in the context of the development of the Urban Initiative (2007-2015): Cuenca-Barrio de San Antón. Managed by the City Council of Cuenca and financed by the European Regional Development Funds (FEDER) under the Ministry of Economy and Finance at the Government of Spain The results of the research show how in the context of the application of neoliberal policies, citizen participation becomes the trigger for new conflicts between institutions and citizens. In this sense, it is worth noting how, in practice, institutions in their capacity as experts and not willing to dis-empower themselves, …
Pour une approche cognitive et multiscalaire des conflits environnementaux
2011
Starting with artificial light as new object damage and emerging environmental problem, this paper intends to develop a general reflection showing the importance of a greater consideration of cognitive dimensions of the damage and risk analysis in environmental conflicting processes. We show how the cost-benefit analysis after the neoclassical theory of production, often used in the search for Pareto-optimal state and in the policies of monetary compensation to resolve environmental conflicts can - indeed must - be strongly challenged. Also, with this reasoning, we oppose an analysis in terms of cognitive interactions that groups develop around environmental goods and items of damage, thus …
