Monetary circulation, the paradox of profits, and the velocity of money
2007
Recent papers have reconsidered the paradox of profits, that is the difficulty to explain how monetary profits can be generated when firms borrow only the wage bill to finance their production. In this article, we use a stock-flow consistent approach give a solution to this paradox assuming that, when firms sell goods at prices which exceed their unit costs, the realised monetary profits are not used to pay back banks. These profits then remain in the circuit, allowing additional transactions. In a sense, profits result from their own expenditure. According to this interpretation, the velocity of money is higher than one because some monetary units are used in several transactions of goods.
Ritual function of hypnosis in the follow-up of persistent grief disorders
2017
Hypnotic processes are the subject of transdisciplinary studies that attest to a specific state and involve relational and contextual dimensions (Rainville, 2004; Bioy, 2017). This research is carried out in the context of Persistent Grief Disorders (P.G.D.., Prigerson, 2009, Zech, 2006, Fasse, 2013). A pharmacological approach improves the depressive component without affecting the specific symptoms of PGD, questioning the place of psychotherapeutic interventions (Hensley, 2006). This exploratory research questions the meaning that hypnotic experience can take in a PGD context and describes a phenomenology. The ritual dimension of the hypnotic device could underlie the phenomena of "immedi…
Behavior in case of fever or cough in four districts of Madagascar : eterminants and implications for access to the health
2017
Malaria, tuberculosis and acute respiratory infections constitute a major public health issue in Madagascar, the first two of which are the subject of national control programs largely inspired and financed by international organizations. The diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive methods recommended officially in the conventional health system are standardized and are based on a solid corpus of scientific knowledge. Among other diseases, they are explicitly targeted by the universal sustainable development goals (SDG). To reach them, the United nations recommend the implementation of an universal health coverage (UHC). Madagascar has adopted the SDG and is committed to the implementation o…
Emergency endovascular repair of an acute aortocaval fistula with AAA: Case report and review of the literature
2009
A 72-year-old man with sudden abdominal pain and congestive cardiac failure presented a high-flow aortocaval fistula with a large abdominal aortic aneurysm as detected by Duplex ultrasonography and computed tomography angiography. As the patient’s multiple comorbidities precluded open repair, an emergency left aortouniiliac stent-graft deployment and femoro-femoral crossover bypass grafting were performed. Notwithstanding, incomplete exclusion of the fistula due to a small inflow from the contralateral iliac axis, the patient’s cardiac overload decreased with a rapid resolution of cardiac failure, allowing for a staged ligation of the right iliac artery with a complete occlusion of the aort…

Associations of Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Adiposity With Arterial Stiffness and Arterial Dilatation Capacity in Response to a Bout of Exercise in…
2019
Purpose: To investigate the associations of directly measured peak oxygen uptake (V˙O2peak) and body fat percentage (BF%) with arterial stiffness and arterial dilatation capacity in children. Methods: Findings are based on 329 children (177 boys and 152 girls) aged 8–11 years. V˙O2peak was assessed by a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test on a cycle ergometer and scaled by lean body mass (LM). BF% and LM were measured by bioelectrical impedance. Stiffness index (measure of arterial stiffness) and change in reflection index (ΔRI, measure of arterial dilatation capacity) were assessed by pulse contour analysis. Data were analyzed by linear regression models. Results: VO2peak/LM was positive…
Extending existential feeling through sensory substitution
2023
AbstractIn current philosophy of mind, there is lively debate over whether emotions, moods, and other affects can extend to comprise elements beyond one’s organismic boundaries. At the same time, there has been growing interest in the nature and significance of so-called existential feelings, which, as the term suggests, are feelings of one’s overall being in the world. In this article, I bring these two strands of investigation together to ask: can the material underpinnings of existential feelings extend beyond one’s skull and skin? To begin, I introduce and adopt a componential-systemic view of extended affectivity. In doing so, I specify the vehicle externalist criteria for extension em…
Daudzvalodīgas aktivētājvārdu atpazīšanas sistēmas izveide
2022
Runas ievadi atbalstošie virtuālie asistenti parasti pēc noklusējuma atrodas gaidīšanas stāvoklī un darbojas tikai pēc kāda noteikta signāla. Tādēļ ir nepieciešams kāds mehānisms, kā ērti “pamodināt” virtuālo palīgu no gaidīšanas stāvokļa, lai varētu veikt saziņu ar to. Izplatītākā metode tam ir izmantot kādu konkrētu vārdu/frāzi cilvēka runā – aktivētājvārdu, kas aktivizē virtuālo asistentu, piemēram “Ok Google”, “Hey Siri”, utml. Maģistra darba ietvaros izstrādāta daudzvalodīga sistēma, kas ļauj atpazīt noteiktus aktivētājvārdus latviešu, lietuviešu, igauņu, angļu un krievu valodās. Šāda veida risinājums, cik zināms, ir jaunums latviešu un lietuviešu valodām. Viens no mērķiem sistēmas izv…
