Overview: On the transport and transformation of pollutants in the outflow of major population centres - Observational data from the EMeRGe European …
2022
Megacities and other major population centres (MPCs) worldwide are major sources of air pollution, both locally as well as downwind. The overall assessment and prediction of the impact of MPC pollution on tropospheric chemistry are challenging. The present work provides an overview of the highlights of a major new contribution to the understanding of this issue based on the data and analysis of the EMeRGe (Effect of Megacities on the transport and transformation of pollutants on the Regional to Global scales) international project. EMeRGe focuses on atmospheric chemistry, dynamics, and transport of local and regional pollution originating in MPCs. Airborne measurements, taking advantage of …
Radiation Hardness Assurance Through System-Level Testing: Risk Acceptance, Facility Requirements, Test Methodology, and Data Exploitation
2021
International audience; Functional verification schemes at a level different from component-level testing are emerging as a cost-effective tool for those space systems for which the risk associated with a lower level of assurance can be accepted. Despite the promising potential, system-level radiation testing can be applied to the functional verification of systems under restricted intrinsic boundaries. Most of them are related to the use of hadrons as opposed to heavy ions. Hadrons are preferred for the irradiation of any bulky system, in general, because of their deeper penetration capabilities. General guidelines about the test preparation and procedure for a high-level radiation test ar…
Do nutritional supplements have a role in age macular degeneration prevention?
2013
Purpose. To review the proposed pathogenic mechanisms of age macular degeneration (AMD), as well as the role of antioxidants (AOX) and omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3) supplements in AMD prevention.Materials and Methods. Current knowledge on the cellular/molecular mechanisms of AMD and the epidemiologic/experimental studies on the effects of AOX andω-3 were addressed all together with the scientific evidence and the personal opinion of professionals involved in the Retina Group of the OFTARED (Spain).Results. High dietary intakes ofω-3 and macular pigments lutein/zeaxanthin are associated with lower risk of prevalence and incidence in AMD. The Age-Related Eye Disease study (AREDS) showed a benefic…

Ar(t)chitectes et management : histoires d’introduction d’outils de management chez les architectes
2015
International audience; Cet article aborde la question de la (ré)conciliation entre « l’essence artistique » et la pérennité économique et sociale des agences d’architecture. Ces dernières vivent une crise identitaire et une crise de positionnement managérial liées à des contraintes économiques, sociales, environnementales et normatives, auxquelles elles n’avaient pas été préparées. L’objectif est de mieux comprendre ce phénomène à partir d’une analyse de la situation socio-organisationnelle, managériale et économique initiale d’un groupe de six agences, et leur situation après plusieurs mois de recherche-intervention. Nous proposons une analyse des modalités de l’articulation entre les act…
Towards an International Economic Security Regime for Alternative Development in Illicit Drug Producing Countries: Exploring International Support fo…
2013
Esta investigación explora la estrategia de la reducción de la oferta dentro del contexto del fenómeno global de las drogas ilícitas. Tiene un enfoque especial en las políticas nacionales e internacionales del desarrollo alternativo y de comercio que pretenden reducir la oferta de plantas narcóticas, drogas y sustancias psicotrópicas a través de políticas de desarrollo económico en países productores. El argumento central de la investigación es que se podría considerar Colombia como un punto de referencia para establecer un régimen internacional eficaz de apoyo transfronterizo para estrategias de desarrollo alternativo para abordar la oferta de drogas ilícitas por el mundo. Este régimen -un…
Vuorovaikutus julkisen sairaalan johtoryhmäkokouksissa: Johtoryhmäjäsenten osallistumisen tarkastelua vuorovaikutuksen prosessianalyysin keinoin
2014
Management groups are an essential part of the management system in Finnish hospitals. Nevertheless, only a few empirical studies have, to date, focused on public sector management teams. This study aims to understand social interaction in management team meetings by describing 1) how management team members participate during meetings and 2) what types of participant roles are constructed during meetings. Three consecutive meetings of an operational area-level management team were videoed. The social interaction was analyzed using the Bales’ Interaction Process Analysis. The results show that interaction during these meetings is task-related and chairperson-centered. The members participat…
