Failure tolerant operation and trimming principle in the CLIC main linac
No full textA powering strategy for a high number of magnets disposed in a radiated and confined area is presented for a particle accelerator application. One power converter supplies the main current in series connected magnets. Then, for adjusting each current individually, small active trimmers are implemented together which each magnet. The trimmers are only dissipative, implemented as MOSFETs operated in their linear region and controlled by analog PI controllers. The reliability of the whole powering system is ensured with failure tolerance that complies with beam physics. The steady state operation and dynamic response in case of failures are experimentally studied in a reduced scale prototype

Modelling of Le Bois de la Glaive 2021's landslide, Switzerland
No full textThis study investigates the causes of the 2021 landslide in Ollon, Switzerland, an area known for ground instability due to its lithological composition, primarily weathered gypsum and anhydrite. The research integrates historical analysis, geotechnical investigations, and modelling to uncover the mechanisms behind these landslides. The landslide involved silty sand soil and gypsum blocks, driven by an intricate combination of geological and environmental factors. Field investigations and laboratory tests provided essential data for accurate modelling. Geoslope software was used to develop multiple models to assess the key factors triggering the landslide. The study examined various levels of saturation and different thicknesses of the altered gypsum layer. The results identified the primary triggers for the landslide as the saturation and thickness of the altered gypsum layer. A comparison of the boundary conditions derived from the modelling with the recent landslide event in December 2023 has validated the results of the study
User-centric eXplainable AI criteria for implementing AI-based denoising in PET/CT
No full textIntroduction: The clinical adoption of AI-based denoising in PET/CT relies on the development of transparent and trustworthy tools that align with the radiographers' needs and support integration into routine practice. This study aims to determine the key characteristics of an eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)/tool aligning the radiographers' needs to facilitate the clinical adoption of AI-based denoising algorithm in PET/CT. Methods: Two focus groups were organised, involving ten voluntary participants recruited from nuclear medicine departments from Western-Switzerland, forming a convenience sample of radiographers. Two different scenarios, matching or mismatching the ground truth were used to identify their needs and the questions they would like to ask to understand the AI-denoising algorithm. Additionally, the characteristics that an XAI tool should possess to best meet their needs were investigated. Content analysis was performed following the three steps outlined by Wanlin. Ethics cleared the study. Results: Ten radiographers (aged 31-60y) identified two levels of explanation: (1) simple, global explanations with numerical confidence levels for rapid understanding in routine settings; (2) detailed, case-specific explanations using mixed formats where necessary, depending on the clinical situation and users to build confidence and support decision-making. Key questions include the functions of the algorithm (‘what’), the clinical context (‘when’) and the dependency of the results (‘how’). An effective XAI tool should be easy, adaptable, user-friendly and not disruptive to workflows. Conclusion: Radiographers need two levels of explanation from XAI tools: global summaries that preserve workflow efficiency and detailed, case-specific insights when needed. Meeting these needs is key to fostering trust, understanding, and integration of AI-based denoising in PET/CT. Implications for practice: Implementing adaptive XAI tools tailored to radiographers’ needs can support clinical workflows and accelerate the adoption of AI in PET/CT imaging
Le genre dans l'accueil et l'éducation des jeunes enfants ::une question à la fois "forte et discrète" : entretien avec Geneviève Cresson
No full textGeneviève Cresson, sociologue retraitée, était professeure de sociologie à l'Université de Lille. Elle continue de mener des recherches au Clersé (Centre lillois d'études et de recherches sociologiques et économiques) avec François-Xavier Devetter sur les conditions de travail des assistantes maternelles. Ses travaux portent sur la famille, la santé, le genre et la petite enfance. G. Cresson a contribué à faire connaitre et à problématiser la place du genre dans les métiers de la petite enfance. Dans cet entretien, elle revient sur quelques constats tirés de ses enquêtes
Is intergroup contact desired by migrants ? ::the case of unaccompanied minors in Switzerland
No full textIntergroup contact has been shown to reduce prejudice and promote positive relationships between members of different groups, as in the case of the integration of migrants. Nevertheless, extant research has not explored the crucial question of whether members of the migrant group express a desire for contact with the host group. To explore this question, we collected and collated a rare set of data to create a substantial corpus of semi-structured interviews conducted with a specific migrant group, namely unaccompanied minors (UAMs) residing in Switzerland (N = 49). Qualitative analysis revealed UAMs' strong desire for intergroup contact. We identified four reasons for this desire for contact: bonding, support, knowledge and identity enhancement; and five barriers to contact: language, intercultural differences, network impermeability, mismatch and individual characteristics. These dimensions are discussed as avenues that may help facilitate the emergence of intergroup contact, contact whose positive potential is known

No full textLooking back and looking forward’—Insights into the 20th European Doctoral Conference in Nursing Science (EDCNS)
No full textBackground: The European Doctoral Conference in Nursing Science provides a unique platform for doctoral students in nursing and health sciences to present their research in a supportive environment. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the 2024 conference embraced
the motto “looking back and looking forward,” offering an opportunity to reflect on the development of nursing science and future challenges. Results: Held at the Medical University of Graz, Austria, the conference hosted 90 participants from 13 countries. It featured
two keynote lectures, three workshops, 48 presentations, and a science slam. Abstract submissions
underwent peer review to ensure the quality of presentations. The presentations highlighted key challenges and opportunities across nursing practice, healthcare work environments, education and digitalization in nursing, and health perspectives. Topics
included, for example, workforce retention, artificial intelligence in nursing practice, leadership
in error management, and culturally sensitive care. The keynotes emphasized the importance of patient and public involvement in research and the benefits of survey data in nursing science. Workshops imparted knowledge and skills regarding funding acquisition,
guideline development, and effective research presentation. A science slam introduced
innovative and creative ways to present research. Conclusions: The conference showcased
the evolving landscape of nursing science, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based practice, supportive working conditions, and constructive collaboration. It demonstrated the enthusiasm and readiness of a new generation of researchers to advance nursing science
in a rapidly changing healthcare environment
