Governing Globalisation through Law

Governing globalisation through law implies building the rule of law without a world State, and therefore rethinking the tool that law, traditionally identified with the State, represents in the face of the interdependencies born of globalisation and the challenges they generate Economic and financial crises, social crises, global terrorism;the humanitarian disaster of migrations, the climate crisis and, to top it all off, the coronavirus health crisis: it is time to take them seriously, as the cacophony of this poly-crisis amplifies As if citizen indignation at security abuses, the anger of the yellow vests at social inequalities, the revolt of the younger generations and the calls of scientists regarding climate change had not been enough, it took a simple virus, smaller than a butterfly’s wing, to shake the world, to the point of finally shaking the certainties of our leaders The great powers, or those merely thinking of themselves as such, proud of their new technologies and convinced of their political and/or economic power, are proving incapable of coordinating on a global scale It is as if this tiny living being had come as a messenger to challenge our globalised humanity and reveal its fragility, offering it one last chance to realise its common destiny In sum, a human commitment to better govern the galloping and unpredictable globalisation is needed

Renewable energy production in Angers Loire Métropole wastewater treatment plant

Si les stations d’épuration remplissent parfaitement leur fonction première, à savoir traiter les eaux usées de manière performante, cela se fait en consommant une quantité d’énergie significative. La consommation d’électricité des secteurs de l’eau et de l’assainissement représente 3,5 % de la consommation totale d’électricité dans l’Union européenne. L’enjeu pour les installations de traitement est aujourd’hui d’atteindre l’autosuffisance en énergie, de réduire les émissions carbones et d’explorer toutes les possibilités permettant de maîtriser les consommations d’énergie. La digestion anaérobie et l’injection du biogaz dans le réseau de gaz naturel offrent de nouvelles opportunités qui progressent rapidement. Près de 144 GWh /an (retours d’expérience Gaz réseau distribution France GRDF) sont déjà injectés pour un potentiel estimé à plus de 1 500 GWh/an. La production d’énergie renouvelable issue du biogaz est un des leviers majeurs qui permettra à la filière de l’eau d’atteindre la neutralité carbone et l’autosuffisance énergétique. Le présent article présente la production d’énergie réalisée par la station d’épuration d’Angers Loire Métropole, qui injecte, depuis juin 2017, dans le réseau public de distribution de gaz naturel opéré par GRDF, le biométhane obtenu après purification du biogaz issu de la digestion des boues. La quantité d’énergie injectée dans le réseau, 15 000 MWh/an et bientôt 18 000 MWh/an après substitution du biogaz consommé pour le process par la chaleur fatale présente sur le site, peut être comparée à la consommation d’électricité annuelle : 8 660 MWh puis 9 030 MWh après augmentation de la quantité injectée. Compte tenu du coefficient de conversion de l’électricité en énergie primaire utilisé en France dans le cadre de la réglementation thermique de 2012 (RT2012), égal à 2,58, l’autonomie de la station atteindra prochainement 78 %. Les gains supplémentaires pourront résulter de l’amélioration du rendement de digestion, objet de programme de recherche, et éventuellement de la mutualisation de l’outil si la réglementation relative au mélange des boues évoluait de façon à autoriser ce mélange en méthanisation.

Salud y proceso de trabajo en actividades de servicios. Los riesgos psicosociales en una Clí­nica de Medicina Privada

Este artí­culo aborda los renovados problemas de salud laboral que surgen como consecuencia de las reestructuraciones productivas, de las nuevas formas de gestión de la fuerza de trabajo y de la transición hacia una economí­a de servicios. De esta forma, en el escenario actual, además de los riesgos tradicionales (fí­sicos, quí­micos, biológicos, tecnológicos), comienzan a emerger otros riesgos menos conocidos que afectan la salud psicosocial de los/as trabajadores/as con igual contundencia. El objetivo de este artí­culo es analizar los Riesgos Psicosociales en el Trabajo (RPST) a los que están expuestos los trabajadores de una Clí­nica de Medicina Privada, centrándonos especí­ficamente en dos ejes que mostraron ser centrales durante la investigación: las exigencias emocionales y las relaciones sociales en el trabajo. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de una encuesta realizada a una muestra de trabajadores de la Clí­nica y con entrevistas a distintos informantes clave del ámbito bajo estudio (autoridades gremiales, delegados, jefa de recursos humanos). Los resultados muestran que los/as trabajadores/as de la Clí­nica efectivamente enfrentan altas exigencias emocionales, en dos planos principales: por un lado, por la permanente tarea de contener a pacientes y familiares en situación de angustia; por otro, por la necesidad de contener las reacciones negativas del público (enojo, agresión). Respecto de las relaciones sociales en el trabajo, se encontró que se configuran relaciones de trabajo exigentes y eventualmente conflictivas entre trabajadores/as y superiores, derivado de las exigencias que implica el trabajo en la Clí­nica y también por las históricas asimetrí­as entre categorí­as profesionales.

Describing Software Developers Affectiveness through Markov chain Models

In this paper, we present an analysis of more than 500K comments from open-sourcerepositories of software systems.Our aim is to empirically determine how developers interact with each otherunder certain psychological conditions generated by politeness, sentiment andemotion expressed within developers' comments.Developers involved in an open-source projects do not usually know each other; they mainly communicate through mailing lists, chat rooms, and tools such as issue tracking systems.The way in which they communicate affects the development process and the productivity of the people involved in the project.We evaluated politeness, sentiment and emotions of comments posted by developers and studied the communication flow to understand how they interacted in the presence of impolite and negative comments (and vice versa).Our analysis shows that when in presence of impolite or negative comments, the probability of the next comment being impolite or negative is 14% and 25%, respectively; anger however,has a probability of 40% of being followed by a further anger comment.The result could help managers take control the development phases of a system, since social aspects can seriously affect a developer's productivity. In a distributed environment this may have a particular resonance.

Characteristics of stress symptoms before and after adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery and the correlations with postoperative pain

Objective To analyze the characteristics of stress symptoms before and after surgery in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients and their correlation with postoperative pain. Methods Fifty-four AIS patients aged 13-18 years from January 2015 to June 2018 in Foshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were selected. The anxiety, stress and stress symptoms of the patients before and 6 months after operation were assessed by the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children-Alternative version (TSCC-A) and the Youth Self-Report (YSR). The pain was assessed by Visual Analogue Scale. The correlation between the stress symptoms of the patients and postoperative pain were analyzed by linear regression equation. Results The score of anxiety/depression and internalization problems in YSR before operation was (5.40±2.48) and (12.19±4.67) respectively, and 6 months after operation, the score was (4.10±1.92) and (9.81±3.46) respectively, there were significant differences between preoperative and 6 months after operation (t value was 7.266, 8.107, P < 0.05). Before operation, the scores of anger in TSCC-A, the scores of social problems and attention problems in YSR were positively correlated with postoperation pain (P < 0.05), while postoperation pain was positively correlated with the scores of anxiety in TSCC-A, the scores of social problems and attention problems in YSR 6 months after operation (P < 0.05). Conclusions Preoperative stress symptoms of AIS patients are associated with postoperative pain, while postoperative pain is associated with postoperative recovery anxiety. Preoperative intervention should be actively taken to reduce perioperative stress symptoms and postoperative pain, so as to further improve the quality of nursing.

“Talking” containers. Visual heterotopias in the picture¬books illustrated by Svein Nyhus

The article discusses picturebooks illustrated by a Norwe­gian artist, Svein Nyhus, to show his specific symbolic manner of depicting the child’s environment. It is argued that the illustrator employs characteristic recurrent elements of home representations and elaborates an interesting interplay of outer and inner spaces, consistently focusing the child’s perspective. This is demonstrated by an analysis of four picturebooks by the Norwegian artist: Pappa! (1998, Daddy!), Snill (2002, Nice), Sinna mann (2003, Angry Man) and Haret till mamma (2007, Mum’s Hair). The books have been regarded as ambitious literature for children, addressing difficult issues or even sometimes breaking a taboo. To show Nyhus’ visual method of thematising childhood’s traumas in relation to a home space is also one of the aims of the paper. The analysis of visual content is carried out with references to the textual narratives, drawing on ideas about heterotopia by Michel Foucault (1984), self-effacement by Karen Horney (1997) and the poetics of space by Gaston Bachelard (1969).

Anger management in adolescents: A systematic review

Children and adolescents lack adequate skills to recognize and cope with the feelings of anger, which is often displayed in the school setting in the form of disruptive behaviors. Training adolescents with anger management skills reduces the negative outcomes related to anger issues. The objective of review is to provide comprehensive overview of anger management interventions for adolescents. Search was done using electronic databases such as Cochrane Library, OVID Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, EBSCOhost Springer, Wiley Online Library, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and PsycINFO. Total 212 studies were found on anger management; twelve studies (five meta-analysis, one randomized controlled trial, one mixed methods, and five experimental) fulfilled the inclusion criteria of the study and these studies were included in the systematic review. Majority of the studies used cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) as predominant therapeutic strategy for anger management for adolescents. Only few studies included rational emotive behavior therapy, social skill training, and education on anger. CBT with problem-solving skill training, communication skill training, and self-instruction was found to be effective in reducing anger problems in adolescents.

A cross-sectional study of students' perception of educational environment and its determinants using the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure scale

INTRODUCTION: Educational environment is important for students' learning. Continuous quality improvement and innovation are very essential in a medical college. The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) is a reliable and validated instrument that identifies specific problem areas within an institution for different components of the same student body. Problems can be taken care of, if we identify them. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were as follows: (1) to assess perceptions of the educational environment of students and (2) to identify gender-, age-, and semester-wise differences in the perceptions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Study design: Institution-based cross-sectional study. Study place: Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) Medical College and Hospital, Sangli. Study duration: 6 months. Study subjects: Medical students of all semesters. Exclusion criteria: attendance STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Mean score, Standard Deviation (SD), and Z-test. RESULTS: There were total 440 students (203 boys and 237 girls) of total four semesters. Age ranged from 17 years to 28 years (mean 20.34 ± SD 1.59). Majority of the students were from the fourth semester (147). The mean DREEM score was 118.13 ± SD 21.43, which indicates that educational environment is “more positive than negative.” A significant association was found between students' academic self-perceptions (SASP) and students' perception of atmosphere (SPA) score and semester. CONCLUSION: Students' perception of overall educational environment was as of more positive. Subscale scores and item analysis show the areas of weaknesses such as authoritarian teachers and teachers get angry in class which needs improvement. The global score was independent of age, sex, and semester. The score of SASP and SPA was significantly high in second-semester students.

A Convolutional Neural Network for Compound Micro-Expression Recognition.

Human beings are particularly inclined to express real emotions through micro-expressions with subtle amplitude and short duration. Though people regularly recognize many distinct emotions, for the most part, research studies have been limited to six basic categories: happiness, surprise, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust. Like normal expressions (i.e., macro-expressions), most current research into micro-expression recognition focuses on these six basic emotions. This paper describes an important group of micro-expressions, which we call compound emotion categories. Compound micro-expressions are constructed by combining two basic micro-expressions but reflect more complex mental states and more abundant human facial emotions. In this study, we firstly synthesized a Compound Micro-expression Database (CMED) based on existing spontaneous micro-expression datasets. These subtle feature of micro-expression makes it difficult to observe its motion track and characteristics. Consequently, there are many challenges and limitations to synthetic compound micro-expression images. The proposed method firstly implemented Eulerian Video Magnification (EVM) method to enhance facial motion features of basic micro-expressions for generating compound images. The consistent and differential facial muscle articulations (typically referred to as action units) associated with each emotion category have been labeled to become the foundation of generating compound micro-expression. Secondly, we extracted the apex frames of CMED by 3D Fast Fourier Transform (3D-FFT). Moreover, the proposed method calculated the optical flow information between the onset frame and apex frame to produce an optical flow feature map. Finally, we designed a shallow network to extract high-level features of these optical flow maps. In this study, we synthesized four existing databases of spontaneous micro-expressions (CASME I, CASME II, CAS(ME)2, SAMM) to generate the CMED and test the validity of our network. Therefore, the deep network framework designed in this study can well recognize the emotional information of basic micro-expressions and compound micro-expressions.

El afecto emocional en pacientes diabéticos mexicanos

La diabetes se ha convertido en unos de los problemas epidémicos prioritarios en México y el mundo. Este estudio se diseñó para evaluar el afecto en diabéticos y determinar si éste difiere de la población sana. Se realizó un estudio comparativo en el que se incluyeron 34 pacientes, en su mayoría con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 DM2 y un grupo de población sana. Se utilizó el instrumento de medición PANAS para detectar niveles de afecto positivo y negativo. Los principales resultados muestran que las personas de 21 a 40 años presentan un mejor balance emocional y/o pensamientos positivos en relación con las personas de 41 a 50 años quienes se desequilibran más fácilmente por su parte, las personas por encima de los 50 años tienden a equilibrar sus pensamientos mucho mejor. La mayoría de las personas con diabetes no practican actividad física y si lo hacen es de forma irregular, quienes realizaban actividad física moderada o intensa reportaron niveles más altos de afecto positivo. La mayoría de los diabéticos no cuentan con un trabajo asalariado y se mueven en la informalidad, esa condición laboral estuvo asociada con índices superiores de ira y disgusto. Fue estadísticamente significativa la diferencia en los estados emocionales entre personas sanas y diabéticas, los segundos presentaron una marcada tendencia a emociones negativas, en especial miedo y vergüenza, que fue mayor en las pacientes femeninas. Se recomienda un entrenamiento para disminuir las emociones negativas e incrementar las positivas para lograr mejorar la calidad de vida en las personas diabéticas.
