A boundary condition for arbitrary shaped inlets in lattice-Boltzmann simulations
2009
We introduce a mass-flux-based inlet boundary condition for the lattice-Boltzmann method. The proposed boundary condition requires minimal amount of boundary data, it produces a steady-state velocity field which is accurate close to the inlet even for arbitrary inlet geometries, and yet it is simple to implement. We demonstrate its capability for both simple and complex inlet geometries by numerical experiments. For simple inlet geometries, we show that the boundary condition provides very accurate inlet velocities when Re less than or similar to 1. Even with moderate Reynolds number, the inlet velocities are accurate for practical purposes. Furthermore, the potential of our boundary condit…
CD3 immunohistochemistry is helpful in the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis.
2018
Objective. To evaluate whether CD3 staining performed routinely on temporal artery biopsy specimens might improve the sensitivity of temporal artery biopsy in patients with biopsy-negative GCA. Methods. Two hundred and seventy biopsies were considered for this study, stained with haematoxylin and eosin and with an anti-CD3 antibody. Results. The addition of CD3 staining modified the sensibility and the specificity of the histologic examination in 89.47 and 95.00%, respectively, with a positive and negative predictive values of 97.00 and 79.78%. Conclusion. The addition of CD3 immunostaining to the classic histologic evaluation is accompanied by a significant increase in the sensibility with…
Moments of Goodness: An Analysis of Ethical and Educational Dimensions of the Terror Attack on Utøya, Norway (July 22, 2011)
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Studies in Philosophy and Education. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11217-014-9452-1 The analysis is based on some moral experiences taking place during a terrorist attack on the Norwegian Labor Party’s youth camp on the island of Utøya (outside of Oslo) July 22, 2011, where 69 young people were killed and several seriously injured. After the attack many of the survivors told stories of how strangers spontaneous had helped and cared for each other. In the midst of the horror there occurred sudden “moments of goodness” or “points of light” that revealed hope for the persons involved, as well as for the society.…
«Deberías adelgazar, te lo digo porque te quiero»: reflexiones autoetnográficas sobre la gordura
2021
La reciente construcción de una epidemia de obesidad global favorece que -además de ser estéticamente deseable- la delgadez se considere autoevidencia del estado de salud del individuo y marca de moralidad. En esta autoetnografía reflexiono sobre mi vivencia de ser gorda desde la infancia hasta la adultez, desde un enfoque sociológico feminista. La imposición cultural de la delgadez y la gordofobia alimentaron sentimientos de incapacidad, inadecuación corporal y sufrimiento psicológico que promovieron conductas alimentarias problemáticas. Mi argumento es que la guerra contra la obesidad opera en nombre de la salud, pero produce una renuncia significativa al bienestar físico y psicológico en…
Values created by circular solutions in the buildings sector for companies and municipalities as key actors
2016
Gospodarka o obiegu zamkniętym uznawana jest za narzędzie na rzecz eliminacji lub ograniczenia odpadów i emisji, co ma prowadzić do poprawy wydajności zużycia energii i surowców podczas aktywności ludzi w życiu społeczno-gospodarczym. Jednak wdrażanie rozwiązań opartych na gospodarce o obiegu zamkniętym w sektorze budownictwa wymaga nowego podejścia, co może być postrzegane jako trudne, niewygodne lub zbyt skomplikowane, ponieważ „tradycyjne” rozwiązania wydają się łatwiejsze. Głównym celem artykułu jest określenie, jakie wartości mogą być wykreowane przez firmy doradcze dla ich klientów w sektorze budownictwa dzięki rozwiązaniom opartym na gospodarce o obiegu zamkniętym, a także, jakie spo…
Les medias en tant que mécanisme de gouvernance partenarial - Media as a corporate governance mechanism:a stakeholder view
2010
(VF)Les médias jouent un rôle important dans les crises, en particulier, celles touchant à la création et à la répartition de la valeur. L’objectif de cet article est de proposer un cadre conceptuel expliquant le rôle des médias en tant que mécanisme de gouvernance partenarial. Leur rôle est analysé à travers une étude de cas basée sur le conflit opposant le groupe Danone à certaines de ses parties prenantes, lors de la restructuration de sa branche biscuit, en 2001. Nous montrons que la presse est un mécanisme de gouvernance d’entreprise partenarial efficient.(VA)Media play an important role in crises in particular these touching on value creation and on value distribution. The objective o…

Some remarks on nonlinear elliptic problems involving Hardy potentials
2007
In this note we prove an Hardy type inequality with a remainder term, where the potential depends only on a group of variables. Such a result allows us to show the existence of entropy solutions to a class of elliptic P.D.E.'s.
Culture and Politics of Laziness. From Fairy Tales to Oblomov and Bartleby
2021
La these de cet article est que la paresse n’est pas une propriete psychologique d’un sujet individuel mais un sentiment collectif : c’est une reaction, voire une rebellion, contre ceux qui nous enferment dans une culture qui voit l’activite comme une valeur supreme, souvent comme une fin en soi. La paresse est la reponse a ceux qui nous forcent a faire et a exagerer, a nous donner a nos occupations avec zele et constance, devouement total et perseverance aveugle. Donc, il n’est pas vrai qu’une personne paresseuse ne fait rien, ou plutot qu’elle fait tout ce qu’elle peut pour ne rien faire. Le paresseux travaille frenetiquement afin de creer les conditions parfaites qui lui permettent d’act…
