Operational Research: Methods and Applications

Throughout its history, Operational Research has evolved to include a variety of methods, models and algorithms that have been applied to a diverse and wide range of contexts. This encyclopedic article consists of two main sections: methods and applications. The first aims to summarise the up-to-date knowledge and provide an overview of the state-of-the-art methods and key developments in the various subdomains of the field. The second offers a wide-ranging list of areas where Operational Research has been applied. The article is meant to be read in a nonlinear fashion. It should be used as a point of reference or first-port-of-call for a diverse pool of readers: academics, researchers, students, and practitioners. The entries within the methods and applications sections are presented in alphabetical order

ECMO for COVID-19 patients in Europe and Israel

Since March 15th, 2020, 177 centres from Europe and Israel have joined the study, routinely reporting on the ECMO support they provide to COVID-19 patients. The mean annual number of cases treated with ECMO in the participating centres before the pandemic (2019) was 55. The number of COVID-19 patients has increased rapidly each week reaching 1531 treated patients as of September 14th. The greatest number of cases has been reported from France (n = 385), UK (n = 193), Germany (n = 176), Spain (n = 166), and Italy (n = 136) .The mean age of treated patients was 52.6 years (range 16–80), 79% were male. The ECMO configuration used was VV in 91% of cases, VA in 5% and other in 4%. The mean PaO2 before ECMO implantation was 65 mmHg. The mean duration of ECMO support thus far has been 18 days and the mean ICU length of stay of these patients was 33 days. As of the 14th September, overall 841 patients have been weaned from ECMO support, 601 died during ECMO support, 71 died after withdrawal of ECMO, 79 are still receiving ECMO support and for 10 patients status n.a. . Our preliminary data suggest that patients placed on ECMO with severe refractory respiratory or cardiac failure secondary to COVID-19 have a reasonable (55%) chance of survival. Further extensive data analysis is expected to provide invaluable information on the demographics, severity of illness, indications and different ECMO management strategies in these patients

Estimation of shipping emissions using vessel Long Range Identification and Tracking data

<p>Shipping is a growing source of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, which are emitted mainly over an international territory, the seas, for which only shared responsibility by all countries is felt. The international community, in particular the International Maritime Organisation, is called to look for appropriate mitigation of these emissions. This starts with the reporting of emissions in an inventory and its mapping over the international territory to be able to then evaluate the effect of emission reduction policies on the environment. Under the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme, Member States are required to provide gridded emissions for the different sectors but the spatial allocation of ship emissions requires a supranational setup to avoid transboundary inconsistencies. By using vessel density maps extracted from historical Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) data, accurate high-resolution maps of emissions can be obtained in support of policy development, implementation and monitoring in the interrelated fields of air quality and climate.</p

Artistas latino-americanos na Paris modernista: a difícil consagração

Este artigo busca problematizar as possibilidades de reconhecimento obtidas por artistas latino-americanos na Paris modernista. A partir das teorias sobre consagração artística, analisa-se principalmente o processo de musealização das obras de artistas latino-americanos que passaram a compor os acervos públicos franceses entre a década de 1910 e a fundação do Musée National d’Art Moderne, em 1947. A pesquisa realizada nos Archives Nationales permitiu identificar quantos e quais, dentre os mais de trezentos artistas latino-americanos atuantes em Paris, foram escolhidos para comporem tais coleções. Como se verá, foram realmente poucos aqueles que conseguiram ter suas obras inseridas numa coleção pública francesa, e mesmo assim, isso não garantiu visibilidade na época, como as flagrantes ausências no MNAM bem revelam.This article seeks to problematize the recognition possibilities of Latin American artists in modernist Paris. Based on theories of artistic consecration, this article analyzes the process of musealization of works by Latin American artists, who became part of French public collections between the 1910s and the founding of the Musée National d’Art Moderne in 1947. The research, carried out in the Archives Nationales, made it possible to identify how many and which, among the more than three hundred Latin American artists who developed their work in Paris, were chosen to become part of these collections. As we will see, only a minuscule few actually managed to have their works included in a French public collection. Even when they did, this was hardly a guarantee of visibility, as revealed by certain blatant absences in the MNAM collection

Idiosyncrasie de l’indigénisme en Amérique latine. Pluralité des sources et des appropriations extra-latino-américaines

Ce numéro 12 d'Artelogie rassemble des articles traitant des sources extra-latino-américaines de l'indigénisme dans une approche diachronique et transdisciplinaire et invite à analyser cette thématique sous l'angle des transferts culturels, des processus d'appropriations intellectuelles et plastiques ou bien des refus d'adoptions de modèles politiques et artistiques. La « négociation » entre nationalisme et internationalisme est au cœur de la problématique de ce numéro qui propose de questionner un tel processus comme une stratégie de transculturation entre l’Amérique latine et le reste du monde. Jusqu’alors majoritairement étudié comme un mouvement centripète à cette aire géographique, il convient ici d’appréhender l’indigénisme comme un phénomène centrifuge, pluriséculaire et transculturel. Este número 12 de Artelogie reúne artículos sobre las fuentes extralatinoamericanas del indigenismo en un enfoque diacrónico y transdisciplinario e invita a analizar este tema desde el punto de vista de las transferencias culturales, los procesos de apropiación intelectual y plástica o incluso la negativa a adoptar modelos políticos y artísticos. La "negociación " entre nacionalismo e internacionalismo se ubica en el eje de nuestra propuesta que propone cuestionar una tal tendencia latinoamericana como estrategia de transculturación entre esta área geográfica y el resto del mundo. Hasta entonces estudiado principalmente como un movimiento centrípeto en América Latina, es apropiado aquí aprehender el indigenismo como un fenómeno centrífugo, plurisecular y transcultural
