Patient-specific multi-parametric computational model of lower limb muscle function from PET/MRI studies

Le but de la présente étude est d'étudier et de développer un modèle multidimensionnel des muscles des membres inférieurs spécifique pour le patient. Ce modèle combine des données anatomiques tridimensionnelles et des informations dynamiques fonctionnelles concernant la déformation musculaire, acquises à l'aide de l'imagerie PET et MRI.

Blame and contention: how perceptions of the government’s role in the economic crisis shape patterns of political action

In this paper we analyse the extent to which perceptions of the government’s role in the economic crisis impacted on the political behaviour of European citizens. This includes contentious political activities such as attending public meetings, participating in demonstrations, and joining strikes, but also electoral behaviour in the form of voting against the incumbent. We examine…

Discussion of “the power of monitoring: how to make the most of a contaminated multivariate sample” by andrea cerioli, marco riani, anthony c. atkinson and aldo corbellini

This paper discusses the contribution of Cerioli et al. (Stat Methods Appl, 2018), where robust monitoring based on high breakdown point estimators is proposed for multivariate data. The results follow years of development in robust diagnostic techniques. We discuss the issues of extending data monitoring to other models with complex structure, e.g. factor analysis, mixed linear…

Bootstrap estimation of uncertainty in prediction for generalized linear mixed models

In the framework of Mixed Models, it is often of interest to provide an es- timate of the uncertainty in predictions for the random effects, customarily defined by the Mean Squared Error of Prediction (MSEP). To address this computation in the Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) context, a non-parametric Bootstrap algorithm is proposed. First, a newly developed Bootstrap scheme…

Les actifs de la société sportive : étude des fondements de la détention du patrimoine social et de leur traitement sous l'angle du droit comptable et du droit des sociétés

La présente thèse de doctorat a pour sujet d’étude les sociétés sportives, définies en tant que groupements sportifs professionnels organisés sous la forme de sociétés anonymes qui participent à des compétitions et autres événements sportifs au plus haut niveau, en y engageant des athlètes professionnels portant leurs couleurs (clubs de football, équipes de hockey sur glace, écuries…

Interests groups in parliament: exploring MPs' interest affiliations (2000-2011)

This research note presents an innovative dataset of Swiss MPs' interest ties between 2000-2011. The longitudinal analysis shows that the average number of interest ties per MP has more than doubled: from 3.5 in 2000 to 7.6 in 2011. Since the mid-2000s, public interest groups have accounted for approximately one out of two ties between MPs and interest groups, showing the…

Les déchets militaires : De la conception aux impacts territoriaux

Classiquement, la notion de déchet est articulée autour de deux concepts distincts : les déchets ménagers et les déchets industriels. Etant donné le polymorphisme de cette notion et les nombreuses représentations lui incombant, le terme de déchet s’est construit autour de diverses catégories établies dans une triple logique : (i) en fonction de leurs sources de production – déchets…

A random-effects hurdle model for predicting bycatch of endangered marine species

Understanding and reducing the incidence of accidental bycatch, particularly for vulnerable species such as sharks, is a major challenge for contemporary fisheries management worldwide. Bycatch data, most often collected by at-sea observers during fishing trips, are clustered by trip and/or vessel and typically involve a large number of zero counts and very few positive counts.…

Frictions in Regulation and Governance: Policy implications for public utilities

The Institutional Resource Regime framework appears successful in comparing natural resource governance systems but unable to provide a common and persuasive explanation of the evolution of these systems. To fill this gap, the concepts of institutional complexity trap and transversal transaction costs (TTC) have been recently put forward. IRRs tend to fall into an institutional…

Workplace characteristics and working class vote for the old and new right

This article focuses on the role of plant size for working class vote. We argue that workplace size does matter for political behaviour. Workers in smaller plants are less unionised and therefore base their voting decisions more strongly on their cultural attitudes, which undermines the support for social democratic parties. Using data from the European Social Survey (2002-2010), we…

Introducing spatial coverage in a semantic repository model

In this thesis, we propose a model for semantic digital libraries with a geospatial context and a definition of coverage as key concept. We present the document and spatial resource model. We define the annotation model and more particularly the geographic coverage that detail and define the location of each resource taking into account its type. Finally, we present the query model…

Established risk factors for addiction fail to discriminate between healthy gamers and gamers endorsing DSM-5 Internet gaming disorder

Background and aims The DSM-5 includes criteria for diagnosing Internet gaming disorder (IGD) that are adapted from substance abuse and widely used in research and clinical contexts, although evidence supporting their validity remains scarce. This study compared online gamers who do or do not endorse IGD criteria regarding self-control-related abilities (impulsivity, inhibitory…

On the Inference of Random Effects in Generalized Linear Mixed Models

In the first chapter, the problem of Bootstrap inference for the parameters of a GLMM is addressed. We formulate a bootstrapping strategy consisting on the random weighting of the contributions to the Joint Likelihood of Outcomes and Random Effects. Using the Laplace Approximation method for integrals on this function, yields a Random Weighted Log-Likelihood that produces the desired…
