Acculturation of foreign IT workers in Japan from a cognitive and business management viewpoint

2016

This dissertation investigates expatriate IT workers located in Japan in the contexts of their acculturation and thinking about workplace and business negotiations. Case studies of individual actors supported by surveys were chosen as the methods to gather data leading to findings about how expatriates develop in Japan, including their ability to adjust, accept, and reject schemata about business management situations. Individuals were chosen as a unit of study because they are the key figures who decide the economic fate of companies. Schemata were chosen as a study focus in the later articles because they are the cognitive location of information about home and host culture and come into …

A Self-powered Ambient Light Power Measurement Platform with Time-domain Readout

2021

Internet of Things (IoT) provides more and more adequate infrastructures for many applications and advanced services. This scenario promotes the ability to satisfy the growing demand for innovative measuring systems, increasingly popular consisting of intelligent nodes, totally wireless, easy to install, and that requires the least possible maintenance. In this context, this paper aims to contribute to state of the art with an energy-autonomous and battery-free measurement platform designed to measure the ambient light power when its level exceeds the sensitivity threshold. The measurement platform utilizes a single transducer to scavenge energy and concurrently measure the ambient light in…

COMMENT OPTIMISER LA DYNAMIQUE RELATIONNELLE PATIENT-PHARMACIEN POUR ASSURER UNE ALLIANCE THÉRAPEUTIQUE

2010

Cette thèse étudie la dynamique relationnelle à l'officine entre un pharmacien et un patient, et donne certaines clés pour l'améliorer. Le pharmacien, en comprenant mieux son patient, pourra créer et maintenir une véritable alliance thérapeutique avec lui, dans le but d'optimiser sa prise en charge. Ainsi, le patient deviendra un acteur de son système de soins.

The question of Western Hungary/Burgenland, 1918-1923 : a territorial question in the context of national and international policy

2008

Euroopan valtiot ja niiden rajat muuttuivat perusteellisesti noin 90 vuotta sitten ensimmäisen maailmansodan jälkeen. Keski-Euroopassa Habsburg-suvun hallitseman Itävalta-Unkarin kaksoismonarkian hajottua Itävalta ja Unkari oli määriteltävä uudelleen. Mari Vareksen väitöskirja käsittelee Itävallan ja Unkarin välisestä rajasta vuosina 1918-1923 käytyä kiistaa, jota on kutsuttu sekä Länsi-Unkarin että Burgenlandin kysymykseksi. Enemmistö länsiunkarilaisista oli saksankielisiä, mutta historiallisesti alue oli osa Unkaria.Vares selvitti sekä Itävallan ja Unkarin että läntisten suurvaltojen motiiveja ja argumentteja Länsi-Unkarin kysymyksessä. Vares kysyi, miten kansallinen politiikka kohtasi ka…

Association entre l’attirance pour le gras, le sucré et le salé et les fluctuations pondérales sur 4 ans

2016

Introduction et but de l’étude : Des études ont mis en évidence le lien entre l’attirance sensorielle pour le gras, le salé et le sucré et le statut pondéral, souvent évalué par une variation positive ou négative du poids. Les fluctuations pondérales sont également un indicateur pertinent bien que peu étudiées, puisque la multiplication de cycles de perte de poids puis de reprise, communément appelé « yo-yo pondéral » ou « fluctuation pondérales » pourrait avoir d’importantes répercussions sur la santé, tant au niveau physiologique qu’au niveau psychologique. L’objectif de cette étude était d’estimer l’association entre l’attirance pour le gras, le sucré et le salé et l’amplitude des fluctu…

Hsp60, a Novel Target for Antitumor Therapy: Structure-Function Features and Prospective Drugs Design

2013

Heat shock protein 60 kDa (Hsp60) is a chaperone classically believed to be involved in assisting the correct folding of other mitochondrial proteins. Hsp60 also plays a role in cytoprotection against cell stressors, displaying for example, antiapoptotic potential. Despite the plethora of studies devoted to the mechanism of Hsp60's function, especially in prokaryotes, fundamental issues still remain unexplored, including the definition of its role in cancer. Key questions still unanswered pertain to the differences in structure-function features that might exist between the well-studied prokaryotic GroEL and the largely unexplored eukaryotic Hsp60 proteins. In this article we discuss these …

Spatially restricted expression of PlOtp, a Paracentrotus lividus Orthopedia-related homeobox gene, is correlated with oral ectodermal patterning and…

1999

ABSTRACT Several homeobox genes are expressed in the sea urchin embryo but their roles in development have yet to be elucidated. Of particular interest are homologues of homeobox genes that in mouse and Drosophila are involved in patterning the developing central nervous system (CNS). Here, we report the cloning of an orthopedia (Otp)-related gene from Paracentrotus lividus, PlOtp. Otp is a single copy zygotic gene that presents a unique and highly restricted expression pattern. Transcripts were first detected at the mid-gastrula stage in two pairs of oral ectoderm cells located in a ventrolateral position, overlying primary mesenchyme cell (PMC) clusters. Increases in both transcript abund…

Molecular markers for identified neuroblasts in the developing brain of Drosophila.

2003

The Drosophila brain develops from the procephalic neurogenic region of the ectoderm. About 100 neural precursor cells (neuroblasts) delaminate from this region on either side in a reproducible spatiotemporal pattern. We provide neuroblast maps from different stages of the early embryo (stages 9, 10 and 11, when the entire population of neuroblasts has formed), in which about 40 molecular markers representing the expression patterns of 34 different genes are linked to individual neuroblasts. In particular, we present a detailed description of the spatiotemporal patterns of expression in the procephalic neuroectoderm and in the neuroblast layer of the gap genes empty spiracles, hunchback, hu…

Number, identity, and sequence of the Drosophila head segments as revealed by neural elements and their deletion patterns in mutants.

1994

The development of the insect head tagma involves massive rearrangements and secondary fusions of segment anlagen during embryogenesis. Due to the lack of reliable morphological markers, the number, identity, and sequence of the head segments, particularly in the pregnathal region, are still a matter of ongoing debates. We examined the complex array of internal structures of the embryonic Drosophila melanogaster head such as the sensory structures and nerves of the peripheral and stomatogastric nervous systems, and we used embryonic head mutations causing a lack of overlapping segment anlagen to unravel the segmental identity and the sequence of the neural elements. Our results provide evid…
