Le témoin sous la Convention, un instrument de la Terreur
2003
National audience; L'évolution des diverses procédures (civiles, pénales, administratives et militaires) du témoignage sous la Terreur montrent que les témoins sont considérés comme les garants des citoyens patriotes et de la sûreté générale. De plus, le témoin attestant ou le dénonciateur voire le délateur, devient un instrument de la Terreur dans l'épuration de la société par le gouvernement, d'autant plus que les dépositions ont des conséquences tout à fait significatives dans l'initialisation de l'action publique et, en matière pénale, elles peuvent être dramatiques : déportation, saisie des biens, mort civile, peine capitale, dont le nombre ne cesse d'augmenter. La loi du 22 prairial a…
Анализ проблем развития лесопромышленного комплекса при формировании модели экономики замкнутого цикла на примере Томской области
2019
The main objective of the paper is the conduction of the timber industry complex problems analysis from the circular economy and sustainable development point of view. The problem of waste is considered in conjunction with other environmental, economic and social problems. A modeling of the value chain process and the formation of threats along the whole chain «nature (forest) – economy – society (consumer)» is being conducted. A classification of the development problems in the timber industry complex on the basis of «created values» and «production factors» has been developed. Planned growth in logging volume and wood processing, expansion of unused waste require the development of a spec…
What Can You Achieve in Eight Years? : A Case Study on Participation, Effectiveness, and Overall Impact of a Comprehensive Workplace Health Promotion…
2019
Objective: To investigate participation and effectiveness of a multiyear comprehensive workplace health promotion (WHP) program. Methods: Participation and effectiveness data came from employer and vendor systems. Health data came from health risk assessments (HRA) and biometric screenings. Participation and effectiveness were analyzed using descriptive analyses, T-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests where appropriate. Overall impact was assessed using the PIPE Impact Metric. Results: 86% of employees completed the HRA and 80% the biometrical screenings. Annual participation rate was 24%, and total reach was 58%. The portion of successful participants was 23% in 2010–2013 and 18% in 2014–2017. P…
Estimating Stress in Online Meetings by Remote Physiological Signal and Behavioral Features
2022
Work stress impacts people’s daily lives. Their well-being can be improved if the stress is monitored and addressed in time. Attaching physiological sensors are used for such stress monitoring and analysis. Such approach is feasible only when the person is physically presented. Due to the transfer of the life from offline to online, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, remote stress measurement is of high importance. This study investigated the feasibility of estimating participants’ stress levels based on remote physiological signal features (rPPG) and behavioral features (facial expression and motion) obtained from facial videos recorded during online video meetings. Remote physiological sign…
Ethnoanthropological perspectives in comparison about the origins of symbolism
2014
The Business Systems Laboratory International Symposia aim to address the global economic and social challenges of our times by systemic perspective; shedding the light to the several interactions between natural social and economic systems. The criticalities and the opportunities of our times are faced according to the cutting edge research and practice in social science. This multidisciplinary perspective includes: management, economics, engineering and sociology. Being aware of these interactions provides a better understanding of the principles that can help to solve some of today’s most pressing social and economic issues. In particular the Symposium 2015 focuses on the epistemological…

When modelling mobile radio channels with moving scatterers, it is generally assumed that the angles of departure (AODs), angles of arrival (AOAs), and the speed of the scatterers are time-invariant. However, this assumption is violated as the AODs and AOAs vary with the positions of t…
Saddle index properties, singular topology, and its relation to thermodynamic singularities for aϕ4mean-field model
2004
We investigate the potential energy surface of a ${\ensuremath{\phi}}^{4}$ model with infinite range interactions. All stationary points can be uniquely characterized by three real numbers ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{+},{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{0},{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{\ensuremath{-}}$ with ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{+}+{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{0}+{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{\ensuremath{-}}=1$, provided that the interaction strength $\ensuremath{\mu}$ is smaller than a critical value. The saddle index ${n}_{s}$ is equal to ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{0}$ and its distribution function has a maximum at ${n}_{s}^{\mathrm{max}}=1∕3$. The density $p(e)$ of stationary points with energy per particle $e$, as well as…
Optimisation algorithms in the case of mineral detection using Raman Analysis
2013
Abstract Raman analysis can be used to analyse the existence of minerals in an ore sample. Especially the interest here is to analyse given ore sample rapidly, to find out what minerals it contains. Rapid analysis would enable more rapid exploration of minerals as analysis could be carried out on-site. For this study, ore samples were collected from two mines in Northern Finland, Kittila and Kevitsa. An optimisation algorithm was constructed to form a linear combination of reference spectra which best represent the measured spectrum from an ore sample. The reference spectra were collected from a public source. It was found that solving for an optimal summation of reference spectra can be a …
Complex objects classified by morphological shape analysis and elliptical Fourier descriptors
2005
This chapter deals with the classification of complex objects by morphological shape analysis and elliptical Fourier descriptors. An unsupervised method has been proposed to identify components with specific shapes by a simple edge detector and to classify them via the description of their contours. A particular application has been arranged in order to evaluate the goodness of this approach when discriminating between normal and pathological human megakaryocytes. Alterations in these cells can occur in many pathological processes and in such cases the pattern, size and shape of the cytoplasm and/or of the nucleus are extremely varied.
