    Pour les ergonomes et les prĂ©ventionnistes, faire Ă©voluer la conduite de projet afin de pouvoir influencer efficacement la conception des situations de travail constitue un enjeu majeur. Cet article traite d’un levier d’amĂ©lioration continue des projets qu’ils pourraient exploiter avantageusement pour soutenir leurs efforts : la mĂ©moire de projet. L’article rĂ©sume d’abord ce qui est dit de cet outil dans la littĂ©rature issue des domaines de la gestion de projet et des organisations. Puis, il propose aux intervenants en ergonomie et en SST des leçons Ă  tirer de la mĂ©moire de projet pour soutenir leurs efforts d’intĂ©gration Ă  la conception : infiltrer les lieux d’amĂ©lioration continue des projets ; promouvoir, voire mĂȘme outiller, le recours Ă  la mĂ©moire de projet, mĂȘme ponctuel, en particulier une mĂ©moire centrĂ©e sur le processus (pour complĂ©ter celle, classique, centrĂ©e sur les rĂ©sultats) et rĂ©alisĂ©e par tous les acteurs projet, y compris eux-mĂȘmes.A major issue for ergonomists and preventionists is to have the project process evolve in order to effectively influence the design of work situations. This article discusses a continuous project-improvement mechanism that they could use to advantage to support their efforts : project memory. First, this article summarizes what is being said about this tool in the literature from the fields of project and organization management. It then proposes, to ergonomic and OHS professionals, lessons to be drawn from the project memory to support their design integration efforts : infiltrating the continuous project improvement activities that are taking place in the day-to-day life of the organization ; promoting the implementation of project memory practices, even sporadically, particularly process-oriented memory (to complement the more classical result-oriented memory) and carried out by all the project participants, including themselves.Para los ergonomistas y los especialistas en prevenciĂłn, la evoluciĂłn de la gestiĂłn de proyectos para poder influir eficazmente en la concepciĂłn de las situaciones de trabajo constituye un desafĂ­o mayor. Este artĂ­culo trata de un mecanismo de mejora continua de los proyectos que prodrĂ­an explotar para mĂĄs eficacia en el apoyo de sus esfuerzos : la memoria de proyecto. Primero, el artĂ­culo resume lo que se dice de este instrumento en la literatura procediente de los ĂĄmbitos de la gestiĂłn de proyecto y de las organizaciones. Luego, propone, a los especialisatas en ergonomĂ­a y en SST, enseñanzas de la memoria de proyecto para apoyar sus esfuerzos de integraciĂłn en la concepciĂłn : infiltrarse en los lugares de mejora continua de los proyectos ; promover, sino instrumentar el recurso a la memoria de proyecto, incluso puntual, en particular una memoria centrada en el proceso (para completar la memoria mĂĄs clĂĄsica centrada en los resultados) y realizada por todos los actores del proyecto, incluso ellos mismos

    Glucose management for exercise using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and intermittently scanned CGM (isCGM) systems in type 1 diabetes: position statement of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) and of the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) endorsed by JDRF and supported by the American Diabetes Association (ADA)

    Physical exercise is an important component in the management of type 1 diabetes across the lifespan. Yet, acute exercise increases the risk of dysglycaemia, and the direction of glycaemic excursions depends, to some extent, on the intensity and duration of the type of exercise. Understandably, fear of hypoglycaemia is one of the strongest barriers to incorporating exercise into daily life. Risk of hypoglycaemia during and after exercise can be lowered when insulin‐dose adjustments are made and/or additional carbohydrates are consumed. Glycaemic management during exercise has been made easier with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) systems; however, because of the complexity of CGM and isCGM systems, both individuals with type 1 diabetes and their healthcare professionals may struggle with the interpretation of given information to maximise the technological potential for effective use around exercise (ie, before, during and after). This position statement highlights the recent advancements in CGM and isCGM technology, with a focus on the evidence base for their efficacy to sense glucose around exercise and adaptations in the use of these emerging tools, and updates the guidance for exercise in adults, children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes

    ReviewFamilial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is severely under-recognized, under-diagnosed and under-treated in Europe, leading to a significantly higher risk of premature cardiovascular diseases in those affected. FH stands for inherited, very high cholesterol and affects 1:300 individuals regardless of their age, race, sex, and lifestyle, making it the most common inherited metabolic disorder and a non-modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factor in the world..info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Consensus Recommendations for the Use of Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) Technologies in Clinical Practice

    Get PDF
    International audienceThe significant and growing global prevalence of diabetes continues to challenge people with diabetes (PwD), healthcare providers and payers. While maintaining near-normal glucose levels has been shown to prevent or delay the progression of the long-term complications of diabetes, a significant proportion of PwD are not attaining their glycemic goals. During the past six years, we have seen tremendous advances in automated insulin delivery (AID) technologies. Numerous randomized controlled trials and real-world studies have shown that the use of AID systems is safe and effective in helping PwD achieve their long-term glycemic goals while reducing hypoglycemia risk. Thus, AID systems have recently become an integral part of diabetes management. However, recommendations for using AID systems in clinical settings have been lacking. Such guided recommendations are critical for AID success and acceptance. All clinicians working with PwD need to become familiar with the available systems in order to eliminate disparities in diabetes quality of care. This report provides much-needed guidance for clinicians who are interested in utilizing AIDs and presents a comprehensive listing of the evidence payers should consider when determining eligibility criteria for AID insurance coverage

    This article is in the context of the Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) frame- work, and addresses more specifically the automation of dictation exercises. It presents a method for correcting learners' copies. Based around Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, this method is original in two respects. First, it exploits the composition of finite- state machines, to both detect and delimit the errors. Second, it uses automatic morpho- syntactic analysis of the original dictation, which makes it easier to produce superficial and in-depth linguistic feedback. The system has been evaluated on a corpus of 115 copies including 1,532 copy errors. The accuracy of the error detection is 99%. The superficial feedback is 97.2% correct, the in-depth feedback 96%, and the morpho-syntactic analysis 87.7%

    4 pagesThis paper presents a Non-Uniform Units selection-based Text-To-Speech synthesizer. Nowadays, systems use prosodic models that do not allow the prosody to vary as far as we should hope, involving a listening comfort degradation. Our system has the advantage to avoid the using of prosodic model. Speech units selection builds its features set exclusively from the linguistic information generated by the natural language analysis. We also present an original method to automatically weight these features. Therefore, selected units are not restricted by a predetermined prosody. With only using linguistic features, we obtain a various prosody and the units concatenation is performed without resort to heavy signal processin

    Colloque avec actes et comité de lecture. nationale.National audienceCe papier présente un nouveau systÚme de synthÚse vocale à partir du texte, basé sur la sélection d'unités non-uniformes. Actuellement, les systÚmes de synthÚse utilisent des modÚles prosodiques ce qui ne permet pas à la prosodie de varier autant que l'on puisse l'espérer, impliquant ainsi une perte de confort d'écoute. Notre systÚme possÚde l'avantage d'éviter le recours à un modÚle prosodique. La sélection d'unités de parole est conduite à partir d'un ensemble de caractéristiques exclusivement linguistiques obtenues par analyse du langage naturel. Nous présentons aussi une méthode originale de pondération automatique de ces caractéristiques. Au final, les unités sélectionnées ne sont pas restreintes par une prosodie pré-déterminée. Les caractéristiques linguistiques ont prouvé leur efficacité : nous obtenons une prosodie variée et la concaténation des unités est réalisée quasiment sans traitement du signal. || This paper presents a new Non-Uniform Units selection-based Text-To-Speech synthesizer.

    Ce papier s’inscrit dans le cadre général de l’Apprentissage et de l’Enseignement des Langues Assistés par Ordinateur, et concerne plus particulièrement l’automatisation des exercices de dictée. Il présente une méthode de correction des copies d’apprenants qui se veut originale en deux points. Premièrement, la méthode exploite la composition d’automates à états finis pour détecter et pour analyser les erreurs. Deuxièmement, elle repose sur une analyse morphosyntaxique automatique de l’original de la dictée, ce qui facilite la production de diagnostics.This paper comes within the scope of the Computer Assisted Language Learning framework, and addresses more especially the automation of dictation exercises.
