The Influence of Odors on Time Perception

International audienceThe effect of an olfactory stimulation on the perception of time was investigated through two different experiments based on temporal bisection tasks. In experiment 1, the durations to be classified as either short or long were centered on 400 ms while in Experiment 2 there were centered on 2000 ms. The participants were different in the two experiments (36 subjects in each one). In each experiment, half of the subjects learnt the anchor durations when smelling an unpleasant odor (decanoic acid) and the other half when smelling no odor. After the learning phase, both groups were tested with and without odor. The results showed opposite effects depending on the duration range. The subjects underestimated the time in the presence of the unpleasant odor in the short duration range while they overestimated it in the long duration range. The results have been discussed in the framework of the pacemaker-counter clock model and a potential emotional effect induced by the odor on the subjective time perception has also been considered

Collection and evaluation of open source information relevant to the Additional Protocol

International audienceOpen source data mining is one of the most explored topics nowadays to discover the information and knowledge from the existing data. Its use is encouraged by IAEA guidelines “Safeguards Implementation Practices Guide on Provision of Information to the IAEA”.The complexity of the analytical work to ensure the completeness of the declaration is to define on the one hand if all covered entities have been targeted and in the other hand if all activities have been declared.Through the French example, this work describes how open-source information data mining allows initializing and updating the entities list, validating the addresses declared in PASTEL,the French custom portal created to enhance Additional Protocol (AP) declarations, and identifying new research programs. In order to support IAEA, France has introduced methodologies using open source information collection and evaluation to improve French Additional Protocol declaration andinsure the completeness and correctness of information declared to IAEA. Indeed, French Additional Protocol is focused on various activities (research on fuel cycle, dual use-good trade, mining and waste transfer), with an important amount of data (addresses, programs, new registrants etc.) to be processed.This paper identifies two methods to improve the detection according to different AP’s articles. Indeed, this study shows that the use of company directories such as Kompass® improves the declaration for AP’s article for the manufacture and export of dual-use goods, even if the number of lines declared remains stable. A cross matching with dual-use license is under studying and looks promising. It also indicates that the systematization of the looking for research programs increases the number of programs declared to the IAEA but also improves the new registrant’s detection

Benefits of using a declarative web portal to make the additional protocol declarations -application with the french portal pastel

International audienceThe paper will present the French Additional Protocol (AP) declarative web portal PASTEL and benefits of using it. In order to support IAEA mandates, France, as a Nuclear Weapon State and important nuclear industrial actor, has decided to develop an additional protocol web portal to be more efficient and to improve this registration. This portal was developed in 2014 and used the first time in 2015. On the one hand, the paper presents the technical organization put in place to do declaration and explains the reasons that led France to develop such a device. Then, it explains how the portal allows us to carry out the French obligations thanks to its specific tools. On the other hand, it focuses on the French experience and the lessons learned by the use of PASTEL for three years. It outlines benefits of PASTEL with a study of registrants' behaviorbehaviour. This study shows that PASTEL allows both for registrants and state authority, to save time and improve efficiency. One of the biggest challenges is to make the registrant feel concerned by AP registration. If training and documentation are an answer, it will show that the portal ergonomics implementation and website design can be also an important way to communicate

Les archives des déchets bitumés : un rassemblement thématique pour répondre à l’expertise et à la recherche en sûreté nucléaire

International audienceLa journée d’étude « Archives et nucléaire » s’articule autour des enjeux archivistiques et des supports documentaires liés à la gestion du nucléaire, ainsi que de l’usage, voire la manipulation qu’il est possible de faire de ces enjeux et de ces supports. Le débat et les discussions que la rencontre mulhousienne souhaite promouvoir se placent donc dans un cadre d’échanges universitaires qui se veut indépendant des débats politiques animant l’actualité, bien que ces mêmes débats interviennent dans les dynamiques archivistiques sur lesquelles la journée d’étude entend s’attarder. Le passage de la science à l’archive, les notions de gestion, d’oubli et de mémoire documentaires dans le contexte (du) nucléaire, l’appropriation et l’utilisation d’un langage intérsémiotique qui peut également représenter une approche identitaire au nucléaire sont au cœur de la journée d’étude : ainsi, les thématiques abordées souhaitent mettre en exergue les questions liées à la gestion et à la communicabilité de ces archives, l’appropriation et la réélaboration de certains thèmes dans la culture populaire, la gestion de l’environnement et les voies possibles pour la construction d’une identité nucléaire aussi bien affichée que soupçonnée ou imaginée

Study of PASTEL User's Behaviour During the Declaration Process, Illustration of How a Web Portal Dedicated to the French Additional Protocol Improves Safeguards

International audienceIts purpose is to gain in efficiency and enhance this declaration. This portal is used since 2015 and is continuously improved. Understanding the issues related to the user's behaviour during the statement allows ensuring the completeness and correctness of the declaration and increases the declaration's efficiency. Therefore, this paper quantifies and evaluates the time spent on the web portal by registrants and IRSN analysts. For both, PASTEL saves a lot of time, showing the benefits of deploying a web portal for this declaration. This time saved by IRSN analysts is now used for the open source investigation to enhance the completeness of the French Additional protocol declaration. In the future, the purpose is to ease the declaration process and to consider the development of an automatic method based on open source mining

Rule-based category use in preschool children

We report two experiments suggesting that development of rule use in children can be predicted by applying metrics of complexity from studies of rule-based category learning in adults. In Experiment 1, 124 3- to 5-year-olds completed three new rule-use tasks. The tasks featured similar instructions but varied in the complexity of the rule structures that could be abstracted from the instructions. This measure of complexity predicted children’s difficulty with the tasks. Children also completed a version of the Advanced Dimensional Change Card Sorting task. Although this task featured quite different instructions from those in our “complex” task, performance on these two tasks was correlated, as predicted by the rule-based category approach. Experiment 2 predicted findings of the relative difficulty of the three new tasks in 36 5-year-olds and also showed that response times varied with rule structure complexity. Together, these findings suggest that children’s rule use depends on processes also involved in rule-based category learning. The findings likewise suggest that the development of rule use during childhood is protracted, and the findings bolster claims that some of children’s difficulty in rule use stems from limits in their ability to represent complex rule structures

L’EMPREINTE DES ATTENTATS DU 13 NOVEMBRE 2015 SUR LA SOCIÉTÉ FRANÇAISE

International audienceAs part of the 13-November research program, directed by the CNRS, the INSERM and heSam University, andinvolving 31 partners, a questionnaire of eleven questions about the attacks of 13 November 2015 was administrated, seven months after the events, into permanent survey “Living conditions and Aspirations of the French”of the Centre for Study and Observation of Conditions of Life (Credoc). This survey is based on a representativesample of the French population, who has been surveyed twice a year for forty years. The questioning aboutthe tragic events of 13 November will be followed in the future (two years after the first investigation, five yearslater, and ten years later). It is aimed to bring elements of context on the memorialization process of the attacksof 13 November in the French society. As such, it is conceived as a contribution to the 13-November researchprogram, which studies the construction and evolution of the memory of these terrorist attacks by thinking thearticulation between individual memory and collective memory.The study shows a very strong impact of the attacks in French society, seven months after their occurrence.The French population thinks that the 13 November attacks represent the most significant terrorist attackssince 2000. The impact is also tangible in terms of memory imprint, with a strong precision of memory associated to the event, such as personal memory (flash-bulb memory) as well as factual memory (places where theevent took place).People under 40 years seem to have been particularly affected due to a certain closeness and identificationto the targets of the attacks, possibly in relation with the media exposure and a form of echo to the shock of11 September, which has been established as a generational memory marker for the teenagers and young peopleat this time. The 13 November attacks have had various consequences on the French society, including a climateof fear, an increase in importance of the security questions, and concerns regarding the social cohesion.Dans le cadre du Programme 13-Novembre, piloté par le CNRS, l’Inserm et heSam Université, et comportant31 partenaires, une série de 11 questions sur les attentats du 13 novembre 2015 a été insérée, sept mois aprèsles faits, dans l’enquête Conditions de vie et aspirations des Français du Centre de recherche pour l’étude etl’observation des conditions de vie (Crédoc). Ce dispositif interroge un échantillon représentatif de la populationfrançaise deux fois par an depuis quarante ans. L’interrogation portant sur ces événements fera l’objet d’un suividans la durée (deux ans après la première enquête, puis cinq et dix ans après), afin d’apporter des élémentsde contexte sur le processus de mémorialisation des attentats du 13 novembre dans la société française. Ellecontribue ainsi au programme de recherche transdisciplinaire 13-Novembre, qui étudie la construction et l’évolution de la mémoire de ces attentats en pensant l’articulation entre mémoire individuelle et mémoire collective.L’étude atteste d’une très forte empreinte des attentats du 13 novembre dans la société française, sept mois aprèsleur survenue. Ces attaques terroristes arrivent en tête des attentats jugés les plus marquants depuis l’an 2000.L’impact de ces attaques est également tangible au travers de leur empreinte mémorielle en termes de précisiondes souvenirs associés à l’événement, à la fois personnels (souvenirs-flash) et factuels (lieux frappés). Les moins de40 ans semblent avoir été particulièrement touchés en raison d’une certaine identification aux cibles des attaqueset de l’ampleur de leur couverture médiatique, dans une forme d’écho au 11 septembre 2001 qui a constituéun marqueur générationnel pour les adolescents et les jeunes de l’époque. Dans la société française dans sonensemble, les attentats du 13 novembre ont eu différents retentissements, parmi lesquels ressortent un climat depeur, un accroissement des préoccupations sécuritaires et des inquiétudes relatives à la cohésion sociale
