Integrative Versus Distributive Bargaining: Choosing a Problem Resolution Process
L'examen des deux mĂ©thodes pour rĂ©soudre les diffĂ©rends permet de constater que leurs exigences se contredisent.L'approche coopĂ©rative ou la nĂ©gociation interdĂ©pendante vise Ă rechercher le meilleur rĂšglement d'un problĂšme. Les stratĂ©gies et les tactiques que l'on utilise s'opposent Ă l'idĂ©e de conflit ou Ă l'approche de contestation. Le processus choisi, dans une situation donnĂ©e, repose en premier lieu sur le fait qu'une partie considĂšre le problĂšme en lui-mĂȘme. En d'autres termes, y a-t-il possibilitĂ© d'un avantage qui est partagĂ© entre les parties ou existe-t-il une possibilitĂ© d'accroĂźtre leurs avantages mutuels,?En deuxiĂšme lieu, le choix du processus peut reposer sur la perception qu'une des parties se fait du point de vue de son adversaire. En d'autres mots, l'adversaire considĂ©rera-t-il la question en recourant aux stratĂ©gies et aux tactiques d'une approche de coopĂ©ration ou d'une approche de contestation?Cette double approche, qui repose sur la façon dont on conçoit le problĂšme Ă rĂ©soudre et sur l'opinion que l'on a de l'adversaire, peut conduire Ă la possibilitĂ© de dix situations diffĂ©rentes. (Tableau 1) (Le cas illogique de n'envisager que la possibilitĂ© de contestation mais de choisir l'autre mĂ©thode ne peut ĂȘtre considĂ©rĂ© comme option). Les auteurs estiment que le processus de coopĂ©ration ne pourra se produire avec certitude que lĂ oĂč les deux parties considĂšrent le problĂšme et l'adversaire comme s'ils dĂ©siraient coopĂ©rer dans la recherche d'une solution. Dans les deux autres cas, on peut accepter de suivre un processus de coopĂ©ration, mais cela dĂ©pend de l'attitude initiale d'une partie qui considĂšre le problĂšme ou l'autre partie sous l'angle de la contestation.Les auteurs tirent cette apprĂ©ciation de trois sources. Ils considĂšrent d'abord les tactiques inhĂ©rentes aux deux mĂ©thodes pour rĂ©gler le problĂšme ainsi que l'effet de ces tactiques sur l'autre partie. En second lieu, ils ont tenu compte de l'expĂ©rience acquise en matiĂšre de confiance et de mĂ©fiance des deux parties l'une envers l'autre. Finalement, ils Ă©tudient certains problĂšmes particuliers dans le domaine de relations professionnelles, soit l'influence d'un groupe sur le comportement de ses agents et l'effet du pouvoir de marchandage dans des rapports professionnels dynamiques.Enfin, les auteurs laissent entendre que l'Ă©tude d'un cas unique isolĂ© peut s'appliquer Ă©galement Ă des cas Ă problĂšmes multiples.This paper examines the antithetical nature of two methods of resolving conflict through negotiation, and suggests there is an appropriate process depending upon how a party views the problem, and how he perceives it being viewed by his opponent
Spatial compositional turnover varies with trophic level and body size in marine assemblages of micro- and macroorganisms
Abstract Aim Spatial compositional turnover varies considerably among co-occurring assemblages of organisms, presumably shaped by common processes related to species traits. We investigated patterns of spatial turnover in a diverse set of marine assemblages using zeta diversity, which extends traditional pairwise measures of turnover to capture the roles of both rare and common species in shaping assemblage turnover. We tested the generality of hypothesized patterns related to ecological traits and provide insights into mechanisms of biodiversity change. Location Temperate pelagic and benthic marine assemblages of micro- and macroorganisms along south-eastern Australia (30â36° S latitude). Time period 2008â2021. Major taxa studied Bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish, and macrobenthic groups. Methods Six marine datasets spanning bacteria to fishes were collated for measures of âspeciesâ occurrence, with a 1° latitude grain. For each assemblage, ecological traits of body size, habitat and trophic level were analysed for the form and rate of decline in zeta diversity and for the species retention rate. Results Species at higher trophic levels showed two to three times the rate of zeta diversity decline compared with lower trophic levels, indicating an increase in turnover from phytoplankton to carnivorous fishes. Body size showed the hypothesized unimodal relationship with rates of turnover for macroorganisms. Patterns of bacterial turnover contrasted with those found for macroorganisms, with the highest levels of turnover in pelagic habitats compared with benthic (kelp-associated) habitats. The shape of retention rate curves showed the importance of both rare and common species in driving turnover; a finding that would not have been observable using pairwise (beta diversity) measures of turnover. Main conclusions Our results support theoretical predictions for phytoplankton and macroorganisms, showing an increase in turnover rate with trophic level, but these predictions did not hold for bacteria. Such deviations from theory need to be investigated further to identify underlying processes that govern microbial assemblage dynamics

The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment: Exploring Fundamental Symmetries of the Universe
The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, the
dynamics of the supernova bursts that produced the heavy elements necessary for
life and whether protons eventually decay --- these mysteries at the forefront
of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early
evolution of our Universe, its current state and its eventual fate. The
Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) represents an extensively developed
plan for a world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions. LBNE
is conceived around three central components: (1) a new, high-intensity
neutrino source generated from a megawatt-class proton accelerator at Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory, (2) a near neutrino detector just downstream
of the source, and (3) a massive liquid argon time-projection chamber deployed
as a far detector deep underground at the Sanford Underground Research
Facility. This facility, located at the site of the former Homestake Mine in
Lead, South Dakota, is approximately 1,300 km from the neutrino source at
Fermilab -- a distance (baseline) that delivers optimal sensitivity to neutrino
charge-parity symmetry violation and mass ordering effects. This ambitious yet
cost-effective design incorporates scalability and flexibility and can
accommodate a variety of upgrades and contributions. With its exceptional
combination of experimental configuration, technical capabilities, and
potential for transformative discoveries, LBNE promises to be a vital facility
for the field of particle physics worldwide, providing physicists from around
the globe with opportunities to collaborate in a twenty to thirty year program
of exciting science. In this document we provide a comprehensive overview of
LBNE's scientific objectives, its place in the landscape of neutrino physics
worldwide, the technologies it will incorporate and the capabilities it will
possess.Comment: Major update of previous version. This is the reference document for
LBNE science program and current status. Chapters 1, 3, and 9 provide a
comprehensive overview of LBNE's scientific objectives, its place in the
landscape of neutrino physics worldwide, the technologies it will incorporate
and the capabilities it will possess. 288 pages, 116 figure
Diagnostically Challenging Epithelial Odontogenic Tumors: A Selective Review of 7 Jawbone Lesions
Considerable variation in the clinicopathologic presentation of epithelial odontogenic tumors can sometimes be confusing and increase the chance of misdiagnosis. Seven diagnostically challenging jawbone lesions are described. There were 2 cases of mistaken identity in our ameloblastoma file. One unicystic type, initially diagnosed and treated as a lateral periodontal cyst, showed destructive recurrence 6Â years postoperatively. The other globulomaxillary lesion was managed under the erroneous diagnosis of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor and recurred 4 times over an 11-year period. This tumor was found in retrospect to be consistent with an adenoid ameloblastoma with dentinoid. The diagnosis of cystic squamous odontogenic tumor (SOT) occurring as a radicular lesion of an impacted lower third molar was one of exclusion. Of two unsuspected keratocystic odontogenic tumors, one depicted deceptive features of pericoronitis, while the other case has long been in our files with the diagnosis of globulomaxillary SOT. Two cases of primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma appeared benign clinically and exhibited unexpected findings; an impacted third molar began to erupt in association with the growth of carcinoma and another periradicular carcinoma showed dentinoid formation. Cases selectively reviewed in this article present challenging problems which require clinical and radiographic correlation to avoid potential diagnostic pitfalls
Federated Benchmarking of Medical Artificial Intelligence With MedPerf
Medical artificial intelligence (AI) has tremendous potential to advance healthcare by supporting and contributing to the evidence-based practice of medicine, personalizing patient treatment, reducing costs, and improving both healthcare provider and patient experience. Unlocking this potential requires systematic, quantitative evaluation of the performance of medical AI models on large-scale, heterogeneous data capturing diverse patient populations. Here, to meet this need, we introduce MedPerf, an open platform for benchmarking AI models in the medical domain. MedPerf focuses on enabling federated evaluation of AI models, by securely distributing them to different facilities, such as healthcare organizations. This process of bringing the model to the data empowers each facility to assess and verify the performance of AI models in an efficient and human-supervised process, while prioritizing privacy. We describe the current challenges healthcare and AI communities face, the need for an open platform, the design philosophy of MedPerf, its current implementation status and real-world deployment, our roadmap and, importantly, the use of MedPerf with multiple international institutions within cloud-based technology and on-premises scenarios. Finally, we welcome new contributions by researchers and organizations to further strengthen MedPerf as an open benchmarking platform
