Nostalgia: content, triggers, functions
No full textSeven methodologically diverse studies addressed 3 fundamental questions about nostalgia. Studies 1 and 2 examined the content of nostalgic experiences. Descriptions of nostalgic experiences typically featured the self as a protagonist in interactions with close others (e.g., friends) or in momentous events (e.g., weddings). Also, the descriptions contained more expressions of positive than negative affect and often depicted the redemption of negative life scenes by subsequent triumphs. Studies 3 and 4 examined triggers of nostalgia and revealed that nostalgia occurs in response to negative mood and the discrete affective state of loneliness. Studies 5, 6, and 7 investigated the functional utility of nostalgia and established that nostalgia bolsters social bonds, increases positive self-regard, and generates positive affect. These findings demarcate key landmarks in the hitherto uncharted research domain of nostalgi

Retour d’expérience, CHU de Rouen confronté à une attaque en 2019
No full textInternational audienceIn this article, the author returns to the cyberattack against the Rouen University Hospital dating from 2019. It describes the measures that had to be put in place in order to respond to them and allow the proper functioning of the health system during this period of destabilization. For the author, a cyberattack is managed in six phases: 1. preparation for crisis management; 2. Identification of the cause and extent of the incident; 3. Compartmentalization and implementation of the action plan; 4. Remediation; 5. Restoration; 6. Feedback. For the author, the organization of the crisis unit is specific to each health institution but it is essential to train staff in the risks of a cyberattack.Dans cet article, l’auteur revient sur la cyberattaque à l’encontre du CHU de Rouen datant de 2019. Il décrit les mesures qui ont dû être mises en place afin de répondre à celles-ci et permettre le bon fonctionnement du système de santé durant cette période de déstabilisation. Pour l’auteur, une cyberattaque se gère en six phases : 1. la préparation de la gestion de crise ; 2. Identification de la cause et de l’étendue de l’incident ; 3. Le cloisonnement et la mise en place du plan d’action ; 4. La remédiation ; 5. La restauration ; 6. Le retour d’expérience. Pour l’auteur, l’organisation de la cellule de crise est propre à chaque établissement de santé mais il est indispensable de former le personnel aux risques d’une cyberattaque
Effective acceptance conditions in real-time automated negotiation
No full textIn every negotiation with a deadline, one of the negotiating parties must accept an offer to avoid a break off. As a break off is usually an undesirable outcome for both parties, it is important that a negotiator employs a proficient mechanism to decide under which conditions to accept. When designing such conditions, one is faced with the acceptance dilemma: accepting the current offer may be suboptimal, as better offers may still be presented before time runs out. On the other hand, accepting too late may prevent an agreement from being reached, resulting in a break off with no gain for either party. Motivated by the challenges of bilateral negotiations between automated agents and by the results and insights of the automated negotiating agents competition (ANAC), we classify and compare state-of-the-art generic acceptance conditions. We perform extensive experiments to compare the performance of various acceptance conditions in combination with a broad range of bidding strategies and negotiation scenarios. Furthermore we propose new acceptance conditions and we demonstrate that they outperform the other conditions. We also provide insight into why some conditions work better than others and investigate correlations between the properties of the negotiation scenario and the efficacy of acceptance condition
On the Changing Political Structure of the Chu State: From an Archaeological Viewpoint
No full textThe emergence of centralised power and polity has long been a crucial problem in historical studies of Eastern Zhou society, and the conclusions of researchers on whether such centralised power was achieved in the state of Chu 楚 have been divided. One reason for this disagreement is due to the differing state of source materials for the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, making it difficult to grasp continuity in historical phenomena. In this article, the author re-examines the changing structure of the Chu state based on archaeological evidence from bronze vessels excavated in large quantities in the middle Yangzi River region that enables us to perceive temporal changes throughout the whole Eastern Zhou period. On the basis of archaeological analysis, the author draws three major conclusions. 1) The structure of production and distribution of bronze vessels in the Chu state changed drastically from the late Spring and Autumn period to early Warring States period, and a centralised system emerged by the middle of the Warring States period. 2) In the Spring and Autumn period, the Chu state distributed bronze vessels to the neighbouring polities as a strategy of indirect control in a way similar to that of the Western Zhou dynasty, although this strategy changed to direct domination over the entire middle Yangzi River region. 3) The structure of cemeteries of upper-ranking aristocrats changed through the middle of 5ᵗʰ century BC due to the emerging middle classes, who later became the bureaucrats providing the basis of centralised polity established in the middle Warring States period. Based upon these analyses, the author concludes that the political structure of the Chu state was gradually centralised through 5th century BC, which challenges the traditional views on the centralisation of the Chu polity represented by the drastic and short-term reformation by Wu Qi 吳起. This result calls for reconsideration of the “reformations” (變法) of Eastern Zhou societies from multiple points of view including both historical texts and archaeological materials
