Sens et pratiques de l’héritage en contexte diasporique

2022

En partant de la notion de discontinuités pour éclairer les concepts d’héritage et de diaspora, cette étude éclaire le sens et les pratiques des jeunes générations d’origine vietnamienne. L’article se concentre sur les événements qui structurent une temporalité de l’héritage et de la transmission. Le décès et la naissance d’un côté et le retour au Vietnam de l’autre nourrissent un sens de la communauté transnationale, alimentée par des pratiques, parfois digitales, qui se révèlent alors toujours tournées vers les liens familiaux.

Do the mobile-rich get richer? Internet use, travelling and social differentiations in Finland

2014

This article investigates the daily travelling practices that are related to mobile-only, fixed-only and combined mobile/fixed use of the Internet, and the social differentiations that are related to these three ways of accessing the Internet. Survey data ( N = 612) collected from Finland in 2011 are analysed. The article shows that mobile-only Internet use is not associated with particularly diverse or frequent daily travelling practices, whereas combined mobile/fixed use is. Mobile-only Internet users are, in fact, in a relatively disadvantaged position – compared with other users, they are more typically unemployed and their household income is lower. The mobility of Internet access as …

Impact of the community structure on the dynamics of complex networks

2023

Networks are everywhere. We encounter them daily in our lives, through our social interactions, how we come up with decisions in our brain, to having phone calls, conducting financial transactions, and traveling from one place to another. Individual actions are influenced by their environment, which is, in turn, influenced by the network's topology. Notably, individuals may change their actions, ideas, or opinions to conform to the aspirations of a particular social group. In the same vein, the spread of a virus can take a certain course if the network's structure induces specific pathways for expansion. In such scenarios, communities substantially impact the evolution of the dynamics. They…

A Digital Twin predictive maintenance framework of air handling units based on automatic fault detection and diagnostics

2022

The building industry consumes the most energy globally, making it a priority in energy efficiency initiatives. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems create the heart of buildings. Stable air handling unit (AHU) functioning is vital to ensuring high efficiency and extending the life of HVAC systems. This research proposes a Digital Twin predictive maintenance framework of AHU to overcome the limitations of facility maintenance management (FMM) systems now in use in buildings. Digital Twin technology, which is still at an initial stage in the facility management industry, use Building Information Modeling (BIM), Internet of things (IoT) and semantic technologies to create…

Towards a pragmatics of weblogs

2007

The weblog has emerged as one of the most dynamic means of Internet communication, in which users upload whatever piece of information they consider might arouse other users’ attention.

El weblog ha surgido como una de las formas más dinámicas de comunicación, en la cual los usuarios de Internet “cuelgan” cualquier información que consideran que puede atraer la atención de otros usuar…
