Organizational Climate and Work Engagement
No full textInternational audienceOrganizational climate is the barometer of work engagement. The study aimed to determine the correlation between organizational climate and employees' work engagement. To strengthen the theory of the study, related literature was reviewed. The study used a descriptive correlational research design. Questionnaires were utilized for the data. The population of the study was the employees of the colleges in the Ilocos Region. Weighted mean was used to determine the average mean of the dimensions of both the organizational climate and work engagement, while Pearson r Correlation was used to determine the correlation between the organizational climate and work engagement of the employees. The result of the Pearson r correlation indicates that there is a significant correlation between organizational climate and the work engagement of employees. Therefore, the hypothesis of the study is accepted
Le numérique : eldorado éditorial ou haut lieu de la littérature ? Une réflexion à partir des actions hors-les-murs du Centre François Mauriac de Malagar
No full textInternational audienceRéflexion proposée dans le cadre du Séminaire interdisciplinaire organisé par Delphine Saurier (Audencia Nantes) et Marie-Clémence Régnier (université d’Artois) - Au "Bonheur des valeurs" : les lieux littéraires, de la sanctuarisation à l’ère du soupçon ? - Pour répondre à cette interrogation, j'ai présentée une recherche en cours menée auprès du Centre François Mauriac de Malagar dans le cadre des actions de médiation menée dans les classes et faisant appel à un outillage numérique conséquent (visite virtuelle et casque en réalité virtuelle). En interrogeant les publics scolaires et en observant ces situations de médiation, se posent toute une série de questions qui renouvellent la question de l'authenticité et de la confiance, de la transparence des outils numérique et finalement de la création de ces "espaces autres"
Anthropocène, Sémiotique et Droit de l’Environnement. La remise en cause juridique des non-humains
No full textInternational audienceThe Anthropocene is not a time of a crisis of nature, but a time of an epistemic one. That stimulates the semiotics of culture to take up the project of an archaeology of knowledge. In this article, we give some indications of how to deal with this in the discourse of environmental law. We will focus on the turning point of the 1960s and 1970s, which is very significant for environmental law. Based on a corpus including French national law, international law and European regulations, we will start by proposing a semiotic genealogy of natural spaces ; then, we will show how it leads to the reformulation of legal temporalities ; finally, we will end by evoking its repercussions on the actorialisation of non-humans as subjects of law.L’Anthropocène n’est pas l’époque d’une crise de la nature, mais l’époque d’une crise épistémique qui stimule la sémiotique de la culture à reprendre le projet d’une archéologie du savoir. Dans cet article nous donnons quelques indications pour en faire état dans le discours du droit de l’environnement. Nous nous focaliserons sur le tournant des années ‘60 et ‘70, très significatif pour le développement de cette branche du droit. À partir d’un un corpus comprenant droit national français, droit international et régulations européennes, nous proposerons d’abord une généalogie sémiotique des espaces naturels ; ensuite, nous montrerons comment elle conduit à la reformulation des temporalités juridiques ; enfin, nous terminerons par évoquer ses retombées sur l’actorialisation des non-humains en tant que sujets de droit
Stupeur et managements : contrastes et divergences entre les managements dans les filiales japonaises en Europe
No full textInternational audienceExpatriation has been the subject of many studies. However, it has been less frequently studied through the prism of Japanese expatriate managers working in Japanese subsidiaries abroad, and even less through the prism of their foreign counterparts working in Japanese subsidiaries under their command. The authors conducted seventeen qualitative interviews with European managers representing six different nationalities, who had varying degrees of managerial and supervisory responsibility. The aim of this exploratory study is to contribute to research on the understanding of the cultural challenges of a managerial difference between cultures, and the adaptation mechanisms proposed by European managers who have worked for Japanese subsidiaries in Europe.L’expatriation a fait l’objet de nombreuses études. Elle a cependant été moins étudiée à travers le prisme des managers japonais expatriés qui travaillent dans des filiales japonaises à l’étranger, voire encore moins au travers de celui de leurs homologues étrangers travaillant dans des filiales japonaises sous leur commandement. Les auteurs ont conduit 17 entretiens qualitatifs auprès des managers européens représentant 6 nationalités différentes qui exercent divers degrés de responsabilités managériales et d’encadrement. L’objectif de cette étude exploratoire est de contribuer à la recherche sur la compréhension des défis culturels que représente une différence managériale entre cultures, et les mécanismes d’adaptation proposés par des managers européens ayant travaillé pour des filiales japonaises implantées en Europe
Super-resolution computed tomography imaging spectrometry
No full textInternational audienceComputed tomography imaging spectrometry (CTIS) is a snapshot spectral imaging technique that relies on a limited number of projections of the target data cube (2D spatial and 1D spectral), which can be reconstructed via a delicate tomographic reconstruction algorithm. However, the restricted angle difference between the projections and the space division multiplexing of the projections make the reconstruction suffer from severe artifacts as well as a low spatial resolution. In this paper, we demonstrate super-resolution computed tomography imaging spectrometry (SRCTIS) by assimilating the information obtained by a conventional CTIS system and a regular RGB camera, which has a higher pixel resolution. To improve the reconstruction accuracy of CTIS, the unique information provided by the zero-order diffraction of the target scene is used as a guidance image for filtering to better preserve the edges and reduce artifacts. The recovered multispectral image is then mapped onto the RGB image according to camera calibration. Finally, based on the spectral and the spatial continuities of the target scene, the multispectral information obtained from CTIS is propagated to each pixel of the RGB image to enhance its spectral resolution, resulting in SRCTIS. Both stimulative studies and proof-of-concept experiments were then conducted, and the results quantified by key metrics, such as structural similarity index measurement and spectral angle mapping have suggested that the developed method cannot only suppress the reconstruction artifacts, but also simultaneously achieve high spatial and spectral resolutions
New Insights on Weight Estimation from Face Images
No full textInternational audienceWeight is a soft biometric trait which estimation is useful in numerous health related applications such as remote estimation from a health professional or at-home daily monitoring. In scenarios when a scale is unavailable or the subject is unable to cooperate, i.e. road accidents, estimating a person's weight from face appearance allows for a contactless measurement. In this article, we define an optimal transfer learning protocol for a ResNet50 architecture obtaining better performances than the state-of-the-art thus moving one step forward in closing the gap between remote weight estimation and physical devices. We also demonstrate that gender-splitting, image cropping and hair occlusion play an important role in weight estimation which might not necessarily be the case in face recognition. We use up-to-date explainability tools to illustrate and validate our assumptions. We conduct extensive simulations on the most popular publicly available face dataset annotated by weight to ensure a fair comparison with other approaches and we aim to overcome its flaws by presenting our self-collected database composed of 400 new images
