Auswahl der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zum Thema „PACTE transfers“

En el marco del paradigma poscolonial y multicultural, el pluralismo es orgánico, la traducción es una inevitable forma de vida, y la conciencia y estrategias traductoras pueden ser una manera de reforzar diversas identidades lingüísticas y culturales. Este artículo pretende reflexionar en torno a la relevancia de la traducción en cuanto a la construcción de la identidad en el mundo contemporáneo. Con este objetivo, nos centramos, de forma sucinta, en novelas que resultan ser propuestas narrativas excepcionales a este respecto: The Translator (1999), de la sudanesa Leila Aboulela, The Interpreter (2003), de la coreano-norteamericana Suki Kim, y The Mission Song (2006), del británico John Le Carré. Todos estos textos promueven, desde diversas perspectivas y matices, un profundo punto de vista traductológico de naturaleza posestructuralista, en el que la traducción y la interpretación son formas de vida y alegorías de la identidad transcultural.

En la primera parte de este trabajo se presentan una seria de consideraciones teóricas sobre la filosofía de la traducción y la traducción de la filosofía. Se pone de manifiesto que, si bien la práctica de la traducción implica formularse preguntas que tienen una dimensión filosófica, los filósofos no se han ocupado tanto de desarrollar una filosofía de la traducción como de recurrir a la traducción para responder a cuestiones relacionadas con la filosofía del lenguaje. Por otra parte, se destaca cómo, tradicionalmente, primó una visión esencialista, de inspiración platónica, que considera la forma lingüística y el contenido como independientes, de tal manera que el lenguaje sería el instrumento capaz de formalizar un significado estable, el cual podría ser transportado interlingüísticamente mediante la intervención impersonal de un individuo agente, algo que ha sido refutado por los teóricos post-estructuralistas. En relación a la traducción de textos filosóficos, se pone de manifiesto que el debate con frecuencia ha girado en torno a la cuestión de la intraducibilidad, principalmente de términos filosóficos. En la segunda parte del trabajo se efectúa una lectura crítica de la obra Routledge Handbook of Translation and Philosophy (2019), analizando en detalle sus cuatro partes, dedicadas, respectivamente a estudios específicos sobre diversos filósofos canónicos que se han interesado por la traducción (lo que podríamos entender como una forma de indagación filosófica, que se vale de la traducción como metáfora o estudio de caso); algunos temas medulares en los Estudios sobre Traducción e Interpretación desde una perspectiva filosófica (lo que cabe entender como una filosofía de la traducción); estudios específicos sobre cómo se han traducido o pueden traducir los textos filosóficos y, finalmente, algunos aspectos emergentes y de interés en el abordaje de la cuestión general de la relación entre traducción y filosofía. En la tercera parte del trabajo se revisan los principales trabajos que en España se han dedicado a estudiar la filosofía de la traducción y se presenta una sucinta panorámica sobre la traducción de filosofía en España.

Las traducciones españolas de la narrativa de Hemingway son traducciones de segunda mano, que no traducen directamente del texto en lengua inglesa del autor, sino que utilizan sus primeras traducciones al español como texto fuente. Los textos meta previamente elaborados han suplantado a los textos fuente en su función de referente de las nuevas traducciones. Dicha suplantación tiene efectos significativos, por una parte sobre la consideración que el lectorado español pueda tener acerca del rol del autor dentro de la literatura española y la universal. Por otra parte, la traducción indirecta, especialmente en el caso aquí estudiado, ha jugado un papel esencial en la ralentización del flujo intercultural, por ejemplo la resistencia a la adopción de ideologías de género modernas, en la etapa (post)franquista. La traducción indirecta parece haber sido una práctica cultural instrumental en la implantación de una forma aguada de (auto)censura tras la desaparición de la censura formal en España.

El artículo comienza analizando algunos conceptos fundamentales de la linguoculturología como son el culturema, el linguo-cultu-rema, el linguoconcepto y la teoría de los campos linguoculturales. En la segunda parte del artículo se aplican dichos conceptos para analizar el campo linguocultural ruso de mir, compuesto por un conjunto de linguoconceptos como lad-pokoj-ujut-dom-svoj-stroj-teplota, y el campo linguocultural de volja y sus linguoconceptos asociados (čužoj-prostor-razdol’e-udal’-razgul-holod). En la tercera parte se aplica la misma metodología al caso de los campos lin-guoculturales españoles de mundo (en su concepción física de con-junto de todas las cosas)-paz-humanidad-propio-conveniente-armo-nía-acuerdo-casa-hogar-fuego-calidez, por un lado, y el de mundo (en su concepción teológica negativa, y sus derivados como mun-danear)-inmundicia(inmundo)-ajeno-extraño. Con ello se muestran las semejanzas, pero también la no equivalencia exacta de las vi-siones lingüísticas del mundo de diferentes culturas y en dife-rentes épocas.Â

El presente artículo explora una cuestión que ha sido objeto de debate por parte de la crítica y el mundo académico: ¿cuál fue la primera traducción de la obra de Edgar Allan Poe al español? Partiendo de las tesis y las propuestas de una serie de académicos, las autoras cartografían el contexto en el que se tradujo y se recibió el trabajo de uno de los autores norteamericanos más importantes del siglo XIX.

Este artículo presenta las posibilidades de traducción al español, en México, de un soneto de John Milton. Se ofrece aquí un contex-to histórico-poético de la obra sonetística de Milton, así como un recuento de las estrategias de adaptación y reescritura que se utilizaron para la adaptación de la pieza, la cual formará parte de lo que, se espera, será la primera traducción hispanoamericana de los sonetos completos del poeta inglés.

Este estudio presenta las ediciones y traducciones que se han hecho, en las distintas lenguas de la geografía Española, de El Viejo y el Mar, desde su publicación en 1952. El análisis de The Old Man and the Sea y de algunas de sus traducciones al castellano nos permiten mostrar si el lector español, que en su mayor parte ha accedido a esta obra de Hemingway a través de sus traducciones, ha podido y puede aproximarse a las diferentes lecturas del hermoso texto original de Hemingway.

La gestion des risques est un enjeu majeur pour le pilotage d’une compagnie d’assurance. Les données toujours plus nombreuses, les modèles toujours plus sophistiqués et la puissance informatique croissante permettent aujourd’hui aux actuaires, risk managers et data scientists d’affiner la connaissance de leurs portefeuilles d’assurés et des risques sous-jacents. C’est dans ce contexte que se situe cette thèse, qui a pour objectif de contribuer à la compréhension et à la modélisation des risques biométriques et comportementaux en assurance vie, par le biais de trois chapitres introduits et contextualisés dans une introduction générale. Le Chapitre 1 s’intéresse aux versements libres sur les contrats d’assurance vie. Nous proposons une méthodologie basée sur l’apprentissage automatique pour les piloter efficacement : le modèle, construit via l’algorithme de Gradient Boosting, s’appuie aussi bien sur des variables liées aux versements passés que sur des variables liées au produit en question et au business plan, et nous montrons qu’il donne de meilleurs résultats qu’une méthodologie plus classique fondée sur l’utilisation de séries temporelles. En outre, l’analyse du modèle via le cadre proposé par SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) permet de mettre en évidence certains faits stylisés; enfin, l’étude à une maille plus fine complète les travaux et interroge la relation entre les versements et les rachats et arbitrages. Le Chapitre 2 concerne les transferts en assurance vie, qui offrent la possibilité à un épargnant d’investir de l’argent sur un nouveau contrat tout en conservant une partie des avantages afférents à son contrat d’origine. En particulier, nous nous intéressons aux transferts Fourgous et PACTE que nous présentons et dont nous mettons en exergue les principaux points communs et différences majeures. Nous proposons alors une modélisation de l’amendement Fourgous via une régression logistique dynamique et analysons, au vu des premières observations, dans quelle mesure les enseignements que l’on peut en tirer sont applicables à la loi PACTE. Enfin, nous élargissons la réflexion en discutant du cadre législatif et de ses impacts potentiels en termes de comportements des assurés. Enfin, le Chapitre 3 est consacré au risque de longévité, et s’intéresse en particulier à une hypothèse extrême, peu considérée en actuariat : le transhumanisme. Cette hypothèse envisage une potentielle amélioration gigantesque de la longévité par l’apport de la science et des technologies. Après avoir rappelé l’état de la connaissance sur la longévité et tous les sujets y afférent (espérance de vie, âge biologique maximal en particulier) et les principales hypothèses sur son évolution future, mettant ainsi en évidence l’absence de consensus et la complexité du sujet, nous analysons plus en détail l’hypothèse transhumaniste et discutons de ses tenants et aboutissants
Risk management is a major issue for the piloting of an insurance company. The increasing amount of data, the sophistication of models and the growing computing power now allow actuaries, risk managers and data scientists to refine the knowledge of their policyholder portfolios and the underlying risks. This is the context of this thesis, which aims to contribute to the understanding and modeling of biometric and behavioral risks in life insurance, through three chapters introduced and contextualized in a general introduction. Chapter 1 focuses on free payments on life insurance contracts. We propose a methodology based on machine learning to pilot them efficiently: the model, based on the Gradient Boosting algorithm, relies on variables related to past payments as well as variables related to the product in question and its business plan, and we show that it gives better results than a more classical methodology based on the use of time series. In addition, the analysis of the model via the framework proposed by SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) makes it possible to highlight certain stylized facts; finally, the study at a finer scale completes the work and questions the relationship between payments and surrenders or arbitrages. Chapter 2 deals with life insurance transfers, which allow a saver to invest money in a new contract while retaining some of the advantages of the original contract. In particular, we are interested in the Fourgous and PACTE transfers, which we present; we highlight the main common points and major differences of those transfers. We then propose a model of the Fourgous amendment using dynamic logistic regression and analyze, given the initial observations, to what the extent the lessons that can be drawn from it are applicable to the PACTE law. Finally, we broaden the reflection by discussing the legislative framework and its potential impacts in terms of policyholder behavior. Finally, Chapter 3 is devoted to the risk of longevity, and focuses in particular on an extreme assumption, not really considered in actuarial science: transhumanism. This assumption considers a potential gigantic improvement in longevity through the use of science and technology. After discussing the state of the art on longevity and all the related subjects (life expectancy, maximum biological age in particular) and the main hypotheses on its future evolution, thus highlighting the lack of consensus and the complexity of this subject, we analyze the transhumanist assumption in more details and discuss its ins and outs

Les pactes d'actionnaires relatifs au transfert de valeurs mobilieres sont des techniques visant a stabiliser les regroupements d'actionnaires en organisant les modalites de transfert des actions detenues par les partenaires. Ces techniques ressortent du domaine du droit des societes, et plus precisemment, du droit des societes par actions. Or, toutes les societes par actions, quelle que soit leur taille, leur objet, ou la composition de leur actionnariat, sont le siege potentiel d'un tel pacte. D'une societe a l'autre, d'une operation a l'autre, le recours au pacte d'actionnaires est frequent, voire systematique. Sa presence est le plus souvent necessaire pour assurer la coalition des partenaires sociaux. Seule sa fonction varie, selon l'objectif recherche par les parties. Propre au droit des societes, le pacte repose neanmoins sur des techniques eprouvees, don l'etude ne peut etre exclusivement menee a la lumiere de cette branche du droit positif. Les regles du droit civil, et du droit boursier, trouvent egalement application. Elles sont susceptibles d'interferer tant sur la validite que sur l'efficacite de ce type d'accord. L'analyse des pactes au regard de ces diverses branches du droit ne suffit pas (. . . )
Shareholders agreements on securiries transfert are techniques used to stabilize shareholders groups by organizing transfert terms of securities held by partners. These techniques belong to business law. Corporate law to be precise. All corporations, whatever the size, object, or shareholder structure, can be subject to such agreements. From a company to an other, from a deal to an other, the use of shareholder agreements is frequent, not to say systematic. It is used often to maintain the partners coalition. It's function only varies, depending upon objective carried out by partners. Specific to corporate law, the shareholder agreement nevertheless relies on tested techniques, which cannot be exclusively puersued in regard to this branch of law. Rules of civil law, and stock market law, are also applying. They can interfere not only on the validity but also on the efficiency of this type of agreement. The analysis of those agreements in regard to these differents fields of the law is not enough. The careful study of the agreements and their clauses will show that underliying these, strong psychological relationship are involved, that law itself cannot translate (. . . )

La migration des Soninkés et Toucouleurs de la vallée du fleuve Sénégal est généralement placée sous une emprise communautaire. En interrogeant les modalités de cette emprise communautaire, apparaît l'existence d'un dispositif ou pacte migratoire qui indique des formes d'investissements réciproques entre les émigrés et leur communauté d'origine. La notion de mobilisation entendue comme processus psychique intense visant à s'émanciper d'un destin jugé probable est mis en avant pour éclairer ce dispositif. Les dynamiques migratoires, les stratégies des migrants et de leur famille visant à maintenir un lien fort entre émigrés et villageois sont saisies sous l'angle des générations et révèlent que les innovations recensées dans la migration entraînent des contradictions entre les hiérarchies traditionnelles et les nouveaux comportements des migrants. D'où la question si ce pacte migratoire pourra indéfiniment se maintenir ?
The migration of Soninkes and Toucouleurs' ethnics groups from the Senegal valley region is generally viewed as being under the control of the community benefit. And we try to understand the full the full details of this community control, we can notice a full system or a kind of a "migratory agreement that explains a sort of mutual investment between the migrants themselves and a their originated communities. The notion of mobilization considered an intense mental process to get emancipated from a probable fatal destiny, is put forward to explain this system. The migratory dynamics and migrants' strategies and their families to keep a real contact with people in villages are viewed from different generations' point of view and reveal that the innovations noticed in migration bring about an opposition between traditional hierarchies and new migrants' behaviours. And this rises the issue wether this "migratory system" will last for ever

Les pactes d’actionnaires, conventions adoptées par les protagonistes des affaires internationales, répondent aux attentes des administrateurs et actionnaires quant à la circulation des actions et des parts sociales. Par contre, hors le marché règlementé, la liberté contractuelle accordée à la société – et actionnaires – de recourir à ce type d’arrangement contractuel, se heurte à la réalité légale et jurisprudentielle qui demeure la seule source de droit régissante cette convention. En optant pour la conclusion d’un pacte d’actionnaires, aucune disposition légale, notamment article de droit, ne régit cette convention. Ce contrat reste donc soumis aux règles de droit commun. Cette particularité accorde aux protagonistes une certaine liberté de rédaction, ce qui créé une originalité quant à la forme, au fond et aux effets de l’application du pacte. Reconnu, dans le monde des affaires français – tant par le législateur français que par les praticiens et protagonistes, comme étant une des formes adaptées à la gestion leurs sociétés, le législateur égyptien découvre encore cette forme contractuelle. La mondialisation, culturelle et commerciale, a non seulement permis de rapprocher entre les commerçants afin de trouver des solutions créatives quant à la conclusion des pactes d’actionnaires, mais aussi aux législateurs, autant bien français qu’égyptiens, de trouver des solutions quant aux problématiques qui s’opposent aux praticiens lors de la négociation, la conclusion ou même l’exécution de ces contrats. L’objet de cette étude sera d’examiner les particularités des pactes d’actionnaires dès la phase des négociations, passant par les phases de conclusion et exécution, jusqu’à la phase conflictuelle. Cette étude visera le modèle français, ayant déjà avancé sur ce domaine, en le comparant au modèle égyptien qui commence à se familiariser avec cette pratique. Bien que ces deux exemples demeurent toujours en voie d’évolution, le recours à ce type de contrat révèle des particularités et difficultés lors de son application, ce qui incitera les protagonistes à trouver des modalités novatrices permettant une mise en œuvre plus efficace de ces contrats et répondant à leurs attentes
The shareholder agreements, considered as the one of the major contracts concluded by and between the actors of the international affairs, meet the expectations of the companies’ directors and shareholders regarding the transfer of stocks and shares. Nevertheless, outside the regulated market, the principle of contractual freedom accorded to the company - and its shareholders - to resort to this type of contractual arrangement, faces both legal and jurisprudential realities, which remains the only source of law governing this agreement.By choosing to undertake a shareholder agreement, no legal provision, including article nor law, governs this type of agreement. This agreement is therefore subject to the dispositions of the applicable general law. This feature gives the parties some freedom on drafting the agreement, which affects the form and content of the contract and produce its effects on the contract’s application. vWhile this agreement is frequently used in the French business practice - both by the French legislature and by practitioners and shareholders, and considered as one of the forms used to manage the companies, the Egyptian legislation is still discovering this contractual management form.The cultural and commercial globalization has not only helped traders to find creative solutions by entering into this agreement, but it has also helps the French and Egyptian legislations to find solutions as to issues that oppose practitioners during the negotiation of the contract, its conclusion or even during its execution.The purpose of this study is to examine the features of the shareholder agreements starting from the negotiations phase, through the conclusion and execution phases, until the conflictual phase. This study will focus on the French model, having already progressed in this area, compared to the Egyptian model that begins to become familiar with this practice. Although these two examples are still in process of evolution, the use of this type of contracts reveals the peculiarities and difficulties in its implementation, which will encourage the parties to find more innovative methods for more effective implementation of these contracts in order to meet their mutual expectations

The work is an exploratory case study. The overall objective was to analyze the distribution of quota-share of ICMS of municipalities in the State of Amazonas during the 2005-2010 period. The quota-share of ICMS is the biggest transfer of resources from the State of Amazonas to its municipalities, representing about 30 % of their budget revenue. This fact, coupled with incipient economy of the Amazonas interior, indicates that the quota-share of ICMS is an important source of budget revenue of municipal entities. The transfer value assigned to each municipality depends on apportionment based on devolutions and redistributive criteria. Preliminary research suggests the existence of distortions in assessment, worsening the social and economic inequalities in Amazonas municipalities compared with the state capital. Applying documental research and checklist, the distribution model of the devolution installments (added value) and redistributive installments adopted by Amazonas was evaluated. Also, reliability tests (Student's t test) and statistical models (regression and panel data) were applied to examine the variables and their relationships, pointing out possible distortions. The results demonstrate that there are material misstatements in the amounts received by the municipalities of quota-share of ICMS in relation to devolution and redistributive transfer principles. Also, significant losses were identified for some municipalities with the implementation of the current model. Finally, we propose a distribution model based on economic criteria and devolutive criteria, added value, geographic, social redistributive, HDI, population and territory, appraised as the most appropriate for the socio-economic reality of Amazonas.
O trabalho é um estudo de caso exploratório. O objetivo geral foi analisar a distribuição da cota-parte do ICMS dos municípios do Amazonas no período de 2005 a 2010. A cota-parte do ICMS é a maior transferência de recursos do estado para os municípios do Amazonas, representando cerca de 30% das receitas orçamentárias destes. Esse fato, aliado à incipiente economia do interior do estado, aponta a cota-parte do ICMS como importante fonte de receita orçamentária dos entes municipais. O valor da transferência atribuído a cada município depende de rateio baseado em critérios devolutivos e redistributivos. Pesquisas preliminares sugerem a existência de distorções no rateio, contribuindo para agravar as desigualdades sociais e econômicas registradas no Amazonas, quando comparados os municípios do interior com a capital. Avaliou-se, por meio de pesquisa documental e checklist, o modelo de distribuição das parcelas devolutivas (valor adicionado) e redistributivas adotado pelo Amazonas. Também, usaram-se testes de confiabilidade (Teste t de Student) e modelos estatísticos (regressão e dados em painel) para examinar as variáveis e suas relações, apontando possíveis distorções. Os resultados encontrados demonstram que há distorções relevantes nos valores recebidos pelos municípios da cota-parte do ICMS, em relação ao princípio devolutivo e redistributivo da transferência. Também registraram-se prejuízos significativos para alguns municípios com a aplicação do atual modelo. Por fim, propõe-se um modelo de distribuição baseado em critério econômico e devolutivo, valor adicionado, e redistributivo, baseado no IDH, população e extensão territorial, apontado como mais adequado à realidade socioeconômica do Amazonas.

Esse estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a mudanÃa ocorrida em 2007 nos critÃrios de repasse das cotas-parte do ICMS aos municÃpios cearenses. Para tanto, serà feita uma anÃlise comparativa entre o critÃrio anterior â baseado nos gastos â e o atual â que o qualifica atravÃs do desempenho nos setores educaÃÃo, saÃde e meio ambiente e quantifica pelo VAF. Com isso, a nova metodologia de cÃlculo dos Ãndices que sÃo atribuÃdos aos municÃpios trouxe um grande avanÃo em termos de responsabilidade fiscal e controle nos gastos pÃblicos. No sentido de avaliar o efeito dessas mudanÃas sobre a redistribuiÃÃo dos recursos, sÃo analisados os impactos de curto prazo nos indicadores econÃmicos e sociais que ocasionaram mudanÃas nas contas dos municÃpios, determinando o perfil dos que foram beneficiados ou prejudicados. A anÃlise quantitativa aponta que foi alcanÃado o objetivo da mudanÃa metodolÃgica, isto Ã, tornar a transferÃncia com carÃter mais distributivo e meritocrÃtico. NÃo obstante, o sistema de ponderaÃÃo dos Ãndices, por ter sido criado em bases ad hoc, poderia ser reavaliado para permitir uma reduÃÃo do peso do Valor Adicionado Fiscal nesses Ãndices e evitar concentraÃÃo dos repasses do ICMS. Para isso, sÃo construÃdos trÃs cenÃrios: i) Concentrador â considera o critÃrio atual baseado na ponderaÃÃo legal ora existente; ii) Menos concentrador â à a simulaÃÃo de um critÃrio baseado numa ponderaÃÃo menos concentradora; iii) Equitativo â à a simulaÃÃo de um critÃrio baseado em 50% no IVA, e o restante distribuÃdo nas variÃveis de desempenho. Conclui-se que, ao se desconcentrar a ponderaÃÃo no IVA, atribuindo maior peso Ãs demais componentes do Ãndice, a caracterÃstica metodolÃgica do cÃlculo do repasse se torna mais meritocrÃtica e menos distributiva, beneficiando um maior nÃmero de municÃpios de menor porte.
This study aims to evaluate the change in 2007 on the criteria for transfer of shares in the ICMS to municipalities in CearÃ. For both, there will be a comparative analysis between the previous criteria - based on spending - and current - which qualifies through the performance in the sectors education, health and environment, and quantifies the VAF. Thus, the methodology of calculation of indices that are assigned to municipalities brought a breakthrough in terms of fiscal responsibility and control public spending. To assess the effect of these changes on the redistribution of resources, are examined in short-term impacts on economic and social indicators that caused changes in the accounts of municipalities, determining the profile of those that have obtained benefit or loss from it. Quantitative analysis shows that the methodological change has reached the goal of making the transfer more distributive and meritocratic. Since the weighting of the indexes has been created on ad hoc basis, it could be reassessed to allow a weight reduction of Value Added Tax on it to prevent concentration of transfers from the ICMS. To do so, three scenarios are built up for the indexes: i) Concentrating â considers the current official criterion; ii) Less concentrating â simulates a criterion based upon a more distributive transfer; iii) Equitable â simulates a criterion by distributing 50% of the transfer based upon the IVA and the remaining distributed equally among the performance variables. It is concluded that, as long as the weights on the IVA are smaller and greater to the other components, the methodological characteristics of calculating the transfer becomes more meritocratic and less distributive and benefits a larger amount of less developed municipalities.

Les centrales nucléaires jouent un rôle important au niveau mondial dans la production d'électricité aujourd'hui. Dans l'histoire humaine, deux accidents tragiques ont déjà eu lieu, à Tchernobyl et Fukushima, provoquant des fuites des matières radioactives. Pour éviter ce genre d'accident dans la future, la construction en béton prend un rôle important en tant que matériau de construction de confinement qui est la dernière barrière pour isoler la matière radioactive de l'environnement. La compréhension des transferts dans le béton dans des circonstances graves, en particulier à étudier le comportement du béton sous haute température jusqu'à 200°C. Dans la première partie, un modèle de déshydratation a été appliqué dans le modèle thermo-hygro. Le modèle thermo-hygro a ensuite été mis en oeuvre pour simuler une maquette dont les résultats expérimentaux sont disponibles dans la littérature, sans tenir compte des comportements mécaniques. Enfin, des études paramétrique ont été réalisées pour étudier l'influence de certains paramètres. Le modèle à ensuite été appliqué à des structures sous vitesse de chauffage différente, et le modèle à ensuite été appliqué à des structure sous rythme de chauffage différents et celles avec des épaisseurs différentes pour comparer les profiles de température et de pression de gaz à travers de la mur
Nuclear power plant now takes an important part in the world's electricity generation. In human history, there have already been two tragic accidents in Chernobyl and Fukushima causing severe radioactive matter leakage. To pre- vent this kind of accident from happening again, concrete structure plays an important role as material of containment building, which is the last barrier to isolate the radioactive matter from the environment. Hence, the transfer properties of concrete under severe circumstances, especially high tempera- ture, are important for this usage. This PhD thesis aims to investigate the behavior of the concrete under high temperature up to 200°C. In the first part, a dehydration model was proposed. The model consists of different dehydration sub-models for main hydrates in the cement paste. In the second part, the dehydration model was implemented in a thermo-hygral model. The thermo- hygral model was then used to simulate a mock-up for which experimental results are available in the literature, without considering the mechanical behaviors. At last, parametric studies were performed to investigate the influ- ence of some parameters, and the model was then applied to structures under different heating rates, and structures with different thicknesses to compare the temperature and gas pressure profiles across a wall

Ce memoire presente une etude sur les reactions de transfert d'electrons a l'interface d'une solution aqueuse et d'un milieu organique a caractere hydrophobe tel que la pate de carbone. L'influence de la composition de la pate de carbone en liant organique sur la cinetique du transfert electronique est discutee. L'examen du comportement electrochimique de derives du ferrocene confines dans la pate de carbone montre que le caractere hydrophile de l'espece electroactive est un facteur de discrimination quant au comportement de l'electrode. L'incorporation dans la pate de carbone de bio-molecules, possedant un caractere hydrophile, influence les caracteristiques de telles electrodes. Une etude comparative du comportement electrochimique de l'hydroxymethylferrocene en absence et en presence de proteines dans l'electrode est presentee et commentee. Elle montre que de telles electrodes presentent une propriete originale de preconcentration d'especes electroactives presentes en solution. L'association etroite entre le materiau electroconducteur de la pate de carbone et les enzymes, reputees ne pas donner lieu a des reactions de transfert d'electrons directement avec les electrodes solides, s'avere favorable a l'etablissement de telles reactions de transfert direct d'electrons entre ces bio-molecules et l'electrode. Dans le dernier chapitre de ce memoire, il est demontre pour la premiere fois et sans equivoque que la glucose oxydase echange directement ses electrons avec l'electrode a pate de carbone. L'exploitation du transfert direct d'electrons pour la preparation d'une nouvelle generation de biocapteurs est decrite.

AbstractIndian social welfare policy has traditionally considered poverty to be synonymous with hunger and famines in rural areas. Ongoing changes in the demographic and economic structure of the country, however, require a reorientation of anti-poverty policies toward the various emerging sources of poverty and vulnerability to foster a resilient development process. In this chapter, we identify the following key aspects of livelihood risks in the wake of India’s stunted structural transformation—smaller landholding size, low skill levels among workers, the dominance of informal employment, the slow pace of urbanization, and an aging population. We further suggest ways to adapt to these changing economic realities.

AbstractRemediation through traditional high-temperature thermal techniques (over 100 °C) are designed to remove contaminants like petroleum hydrocarbons via enhanced mobilization and volatilization. However, remedies of this nature can require significant infrastructure, capital, operational and maintenance costs, along with high energy demands and carbon footprints. Conversely, low-temperature thermal approaches (in the mesophilic range of ~15–40 °C) are an inexpensive and more sustainable method that can enhance the physical, biological, and chemical processes to remove contaminants. Heat transfer properties of subsurface sediments and other geological materials do not vary considerably and are relatively independent of grain size, unlike hydraulic properties that can vary several orders of magnitude within a site and often limit the pace of remediation of many in-situ technologies. Therefore, low-temperature thermal remediation is a promising alternative that can remediate contaminant mass present in both high- and low-permeability settings, including fractured rock. Emergence of risk-based non-aqueous phase liquid management approaches and sustainable best management practices further offer a platform for low-temperature thermal remedies to advance petroleum hydrocarbon remediation with lower capital and operational costs. Case studies demonstrating this approach along with preliminary sustainability comparisons of the associated reduced energy use and carbon footprint are described in this chapter.

The implementation of China's "reform and opening-up" policy paved the way for leveraging the country's comparative advantage in labor costs and its abundant pool of low-skilled workers to attract foreign investments and transform the country from isolation to become an integral part of the global economy. China gradually deepened its embeddedness in global value chains (GVCs) and ultimately emerged as the leading trading partner to most of the developed countries, however a shift in global sentiment and a fundamentally wavered belief in trade liberalization – initially triggered by the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, subsequently amplified by geopolitical tensions, protectionist policies, national security concerns and the COVID-19 pandemic – set back the pace of globalization and specifically raised concerns about the inherent risks associated with the significant reliance on China – as well as on the geographically spread production networks in general – when it comes to global production. The aim of the paper is to examine how the aforementioned events of the past decade and the lately arising call for increased resilience affected China's role and weight in global production, as well as to identify trends in the dynamics of the country's GVC participation through the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods.

AbstractThis chapter analyses income inequality and socio-economic segregation in South Africa’s most populous city, Johannesburg. The end of apartheid’s segregation in 1991 has been followed by both continuity and change of urban spatial patterns. There is a considerable literature on the transformation of inner-city areas from white to black, and of the steady diffusion of black middle-class residents into once ‘white’ suburbs. There has been less analysis on the nature and pace of socio-economic mixing. Four key findings from this chapter are as follows. First, dissimilarity indices show that bottom occupation categories and the unemployed are highly segregated from top occupation categories, but that the degree of segregation has decreased slightly between the censuses of 2001 and 2011. Second, the data quantifies the way in which Johannesburg’s large population of unemployed people are more segregated from top occupations than any of the other employment categories, although unemployed people are less segregated from bottom occupations. Third, over the same period, residents employed in bottom occupations are less likely to be represented in affluent former white suburbs. This seemingly paradoxical finding is likely to have resulted from fewer affluent households accommodating their domestic workers on their properties. Fourth, although most post-apartheid public housing projects have not disrupted patterns of socio-economic segregation, some important exceptions do show the enormous capacity of public housing to transform the spatial structure of the city.

AbstractAlthough much progress has been made in past decades, the prospects for food and nutrition security are now deteriorating and the converging crises of climate change and Covid-19 present major risks for nutrition and health, and challenges to the development of sustainable food systems. In 2018, the InterAcademy Partnership published a report on the scientific opportunities and challenges for food and nutrition security and agriculture based on four regional reports by academy networks in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe. The present chapter draws on new evidence from the regions reaffirming the continuing rapid pace of science, technology and innovation and the need to act urgently worldwide to capitalise on the new opportunities to transform food systems. We cover issues around sustainable, healthy food systems in terms of the whole food value chain, including consumption and waste, the interconnections between agriculture and natural resources, and the objectives for developing a more balanced food production strategy (for land and sea) to deliver nutritional, social and environmental benefits. Our focus is on science, and we discuss a range of transdisciplinary research opportunities that can underpin the UN FSS Action Tracks, inform the introduction of game-changers, and provide core resources to stimulate innovation, inform practice and guide policy decisions. Academies of science, with their strengths of scientific excellence, inclusiveness, diversity and the capacity to link the national, regional and global levels, are continuing to support the scientific community’s a key role in catalysing action. Our recommendations concentrate on priorities around building the science base – including the recognition of the importance of fundamental research – to generate diverse yet equitable solutions for providing sustainable, healthy diets that are culturally sensitive and attend to the needs of vulnerable populations. We also urge better use of the transdisciplinary science base to advise policymaking, and suggest that this would be greatly advanced by constituting an international advisory Panel for Food and Nutrition Security, with particular emphasis on sustainable food systems.

In order to overcome the challenges posed by globalization, an increasingly complex business world, and the transition to the knowledge-based economy, both academia and practitioners need to reinforce the importance of knowledge transfer activities between universities and other stakeholders and the development of new forms of transfer activities between academia and the external environment. As businesses, economies, and society in general become more global, and as the pace of change increases, they become more dependent on science and technology, on new and innovative forms of knowledge transfer, which are provided partially by universities. The knowledge in academics is an asset but also a liability. The innovation processes on knowledge management in education through knowledge transfer activities will facilitate the shift from teaching as the transmission of knowledge to teaching as the facilitation of learning. Drawing from the literature on knowledge exchange and foregoing observations, this chapter explores the innovation side of KM in education, based on knowledge transfer partners and activities. As academics continuously evolve collaborative forms of research activity and re-imagine the nature of academic-practitioner exchange and knowledge transfer, this chapter considers key contributions in the area and details important avenues that warrant further research.

With the tremendous growth and use of digital cameras and video devices, the need to verify the collected digital content for law enforcement applications such as crime scene investigations and traffic violations, becomes paramount if they are to be used as evidence in courts. Semi-fragile watermarking has become increasingly important within the past few years as it can be used to verify the content of images by accurately localising the tampered area and tolerating some non-malicious manipulations. There have been a number of different transforms used for semi-fragile image watermarking. In this chapter, we present two novel transforms for semi-fragile watermarking, using the Slant transform (SLT) as a block-based algorithm and the wavelet-based contourlet transform (WBCT) as a non-block based algorithm. The proposed SLT is compared with existing DCT and PST semi-fragile watermarking schemes. Experimental results using standard test images and simulated law enforcement images indicate that the SLT is more accurate for copy and paste attacks with non-malicious manipulations, such as additive Gaussian noise. For the proposed WBCT method, watermarking embedding is performed by modulating the parent-children relationship in the contourlet domain. Again, experimental results using the same test images have demonstrated that our proposed WBCT method achieves good performances in localising the tampered regions, even when the image has been subjected to non-malicious manipulations such as JPEG/JPEG2000 compressions, Gaussian noise, Gaussian filtering, and contrast stretching. The average miss detection rate is found to be approximately 1% while maintaining an average false alarm rate below 6.5%.

As urban Hangzhou rapidly expands into its rural hinterlands, it transforms the agrarian landscapes that sustain it. This chapter is an ethnographic investigation of Hangzhou’s changing “foodshed,” from the point of view of the procurement agents who supply a farm-to-table restaurant in the city’s scenic West Lake District. In this context, the lives and deaths of nonhuman natures are a matter of unstable perspective: former productive farm fields have ghostly afterlives in the present urban core, while reanimated spaces of “wild” nature can be deathly for vibrant human communities. My findings in Hangzhou underline the crucial significance of agrarian environments within the ecologies of urbanism framework. Agrarian landscapes unsettle analytic binaries between human and non-human natures. At the same time, human-centric conceptions of agrarian “nature” provide critical insights about the tempo and meaning of unfolding urban transformations.

The relationship between the abundance of natural resources and socio-economic performance has been a main object of study in the economic development field since Adam Smith. Dominated by the verification of the so called curse of natural resource, the mainstream literature on the topic has been mostly on the study of cross sectional data at the national level, with limited empirical use of exogenous differences in the abundance of natural resources at the subnational level. We explore the case of Peru, a mining-rich middle income country where -exploiting a unique data set constructed for this purpose- we are able to assess systematic differences in district-level welfare outcomes between mining and non-mining districts. We find evidence that the condition of being mining-abundant district have a significant impact on the pace of reduction of poverty rates and inequality levels. We also estimate a heterogeneous response to the mining-abundant condition, finding stronger responses in lower-poverty, higher-inequality districts. Finally, we find a trend suggesting incremental positive marginal effects of the level of exposure to mining transfer, as proxy for the degree of abundance of mining activities, on the reduction of poverty and inequality.

Existing research has shown that disability is costly and can result in an increased risk of living in poverty and a decrease in living standards. In this paper, we expand a framework of equality budgeting, previously applied from a gender perspective, to the population of households affected by disability. Using a microsimulation model linked to data from the EU Survey of Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), we show how tax-benefit policy and other market income changes between 2007 and 2019 impacted households affected by disability and households not affected by disability. We find that disposable (or post-tax and transfer) income grew for both types of households but at a faster rate for households affected by disability than households not affected by disability. This income growth was driven by two counteracting forces. On the one hand, tax and welfare policy failed to keep pace with market income growth, reducing the living standards of households affected by disability by more than households not affected by disability. On the other hand, despite having lower average wage levels, wage growth for workers affected by disability outpaced wage growth for workers not affected by disability, while the labour supply of households affected by disability also increased. Future attempts to equality-proof budgetary policy should consider that changes to welfare disproportionally affect households with disabilities.
