New model for datasets citation and extraction reproducibility in VAMDC
In this paper we present a new paradigm for the identification of datasets
extracted from the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC) e-science
infrastructure. Such identification includes information on the origin and
version of the datasets, references associated to individual data in the
datasets, as well as timestamps linked to the extraction procedure. This
paradigm is described through the modifications of the language used to
exchange data within the VAMDC and through the services that will implement
those modifications. This new paradigm should enforce traceability of datasets,
favour reproducibility of datasets extraction, and facilitate the systematic
citation of the authors having originally measured and/or calculated the
extracted atomic and molecular data.Comment: 48 page

Les modes de réglementation sociale à l'heure de l'ouverture des frontiÚres : quelques réflexions autour des modÚles européen et nord-américain
Le prĂ©sent article s'intĂ©resse Ă la façon dont se dĂ©veloppe la rĂ©glementation sociale Ă l'intĂ©rieur d'un espace commercial international intĂ©grĂ©. La CommunautĂ© Ă©conomique europĂ©enne (CEE) offre un modĂšle interventionniste, les traitĂ©s internationaux Ă sa base prĂ©voyant certaines mesures d'harmonisation et d'uniformisation de la rĂ©glementation sociale en vigueur dans les diffĂ©rents Ătats membres. Ces objectifs d'harmonisation sociale ont Ă©tĂ© pris en charge par des instances communautaires dont les dĂ©cisions sont contraignantes Ă l'endroit des Ătats nationaux. Au contraire, l'Accord de libre-Ă©change entre le Canada et les Ătats-Unis ne contient aucune mesure de rĂ©glementation sociale. Cette question relĂšve toujours de la souverainetĂ© de chacun des deux pays participant et aucune instance communautaire n'est compĂ©tente en la matiĂšre. Le degrĂ© relativement faible d'intĂ©gration poursuivi par l'Accord comme la similaritĂ© de la rĂ©glementation sociale en vigueur au Canada et aux Ătats-Unis peut justifier ce silence de l'Accord de libre-Ă©change en matiĂšre sociale. Cependant, dans la mesure oĂč cet accord sera Ă©tendu Ă d'autres pays, comme le Mexique, l'exemple de la CEE deviendra plus pertinent.This article deals with the development of social regulation that applies within an integrated international and commercial space. On the one hand, the European Economic Community presents an interventionist model since the founding international treatises provide, to some extent, for the harmonization and uniformity of existing social regulation in each participating state. The responsability of implementing this policy of social harmonization has been conferred on some Community-level bodies whose decisions bind the national states. On the other hand, Canada-U.S. Free-Trade Agreement does not deal with social regulation. This mater still remains within the exclusive jurisdiction of each of the two participating states and no community body has jurisdiction over the issue. The relatively low degree of integration implemented by the Agreement and the similarity of the social regulation in force in Canada and the United States explain why the Free-Trade Agreement is silent on social matters. However, if the Agreement is to be extended to some other countries, such as Mexico, the European example may become more relevant
Les valeurs des ergothĂ©rapeutes : rĂ©sultats quantitatifs dâune Ă©tude exploratoire
ArticleUn inteÌreÌt reÌcent pour les valeurs de lâergotheÌrapie et celles des ergotheÌrapeutes sâobserve dans les eÌcrits, notamment parce quâelles sont au cĆur de lâidentiteÌ professionnelle. Or, des eÌtudes rapportent que plusieurs ergotheÌrapeutes ont une identiteÌ professionnelle ambigueÌ et une grande diversiteÌ est observeÌe dans les eÌcrits quant aÌ ces valeurs. Cette eÌtude visait aÌ deÌterminer lâimportance accordeÌe par des ergotheÌrapeutes aux valeurs de lâergotheÌrapie et aÌ celles dâergotheÌrapeutes rapporteÌes dans les eÌcrits. Elle cherchait aussi aÌ veÌrifier lâassociation entre lâimportance accordeÌe aÌ ces valeurs et a) le nombre dâanneÌes dâexpeÌrience professionnelle ainsi que b) le fait dâavoir suivi ou pas une formation en eÌthique. Enfin, elle avait eÌgalement pour objectif de veÌrifier si une importance diffeÌrente est accordeÌe aux valeurs selon lâuniversiteÌ ouÌ lâergotheÌrapie a suivi sa formation professionnelle. Un questionnaire documentant lâimportance accordeÌe aÌ 60 valeurs et un questionnaire sociodeÌmographique ont eÌteÌ remplis par 26 ergotheÌrapeutes formeÌs et travaillant au QueÌbec. Des correÌlations de Spearman, un test de Kruskal-Wallis et des tests de Mann-Whitney ont eÌteÌ reÌaliseÌs. Les valeurs consideÌreÌes treÌs importantes par le plus grand nombre et le plus petit nombre de participants ont eÌteÌ identifieÌes. Des associations statistiquement significatives ont eÌteÌ observeÌes entre lâimportance accordeÌe aÌ certaines valeurs et le nombre dâanneÌes dâexpeÌrience professionnelle, la preÌsence dâune formation en eÌthique et lâuniversiteÌ ouÌ la formation en ergotheÌrapie a eÌteÌ reÌaliseÌe. Cette eÌtude exploratoire a permis dâidentifier certaines tendances qui restent aÌ eÌtre confirmeÌes par une recherche de plus grande envergure. Ces conclusions sont novatrices, car il sâagit de la premieÌre recherche aÌ documenter de telles associations.Recent interest for the values in occupational therapy and of occupational therapists can be observed in the literature, because such values are at the heart of professional identity. Yet, studies have reported that many occupational therapists have an ambiguous professional identity and important diversity exists in academic publications regarding these values. This study aimed at determining the importance that is granted by occupational therapists to the values of occupational therapy and the values reported by occupational therapists in the literature. We wanted to verify associations between the importance granted to these values, as well as a) the number of years of professional experience and b) the fact of having undertaken training in ethics. Finally, our study also had as an objective to examine if the importance granted to specific values differed depending on the university or the professional training. A survey containing socio- demographic questions and ratings of 60 values was completed by 26 occupational therapists trained and working in Quebec. Spearman correlations, a Kruskal- Wallis test and a Mann-Whitney test were conducted. The values considered the most important by the largest and smallest number of participants were identified. Statistically significant associations were observed between the importance granted to certain values and the number of years of professional experience, having had training in ethics, and the University where this training was obtained. This exploratory study has permitted us to identify tendencies that deserve to be confirmed by a larger scale study. Our conclusions are innovative, because this is the first study reporting such associations
IT/LMS Facilitated Competency Based Education in Action! A Collaborative Approach to IT Enhanced Course Design: Our Story
Competency-based education and adaptive learning are rapidly gaining popularity. They make great sense on paper, but what do they look like in reality? The use of recognition of acquired competencies at Champlain College has allowed Transportation and Logistics services to align both. Through individualized pathways, automated emails, online quizzes, and targeted resources, Champlain has found a way to not only enrich the learning experience of candidates, but also be a great deal more efficient pedagogically and administratively
Local Geometric Consensus: A General Purpose Point Pattern-Based Tracking Algorithm
Proceedings of ACM ISMAR 2015, Fukuoka, JapanInternational audienceWe present a method which can quickly and robustly match 2D and 3D point patterns based on their sole spatial distribution , but it can also handle other cues if available. This method can be easily adapted to many transformations such as similarity transformations in 2D/3D, and affine and perspective transformations in 2D. It is based on local geometric consensus among several local matchings and a refinement scheme. We provide two implementations of this general scheme, one for the 2D homography case (which can be used for marker or image tracking) and one for the 3D similarity case. We demonstrate the robustness and speed performance of our proposal on both synthetic and real images and show that our method can be used to augment any (textured/textureless) planar objects but also 3D objects
