LES RÔLES DE L'ORGANISATION PAYSANNE ET DE L'ACTION COLLECTIVE POUR LE RENFORCEMENT DES FILIÈRES DE COMMERCIALISATION DES PRODUITS DE «SPÉCIALITÉ LOCALE» LE CAS DU LONGANE «LONG» DE LA PROVINCE DE HUNGYEN AU VIETNAME

N° ISBN - 978-2-7380-1284-5International audienceLe Vietnam est actuellement engagé dans un processus d'intégration économique internationale issue notamment de son adhésion récente à l'OMC. Ce processus inclut une ouverture croissante du secteur agro-alimentaire domestique à la concurrence des produits importés. Les exploitations agricoles familiales sont particulièrement fragilisées par ce nouveau contexte, en raison de le petite taille et du morcellement des superficies cultivables. Les moyens de renforcer la compétitivité des produits issues de l'agriculture familiale constitue ainsi une des priorités pour les recherches vietnamiennes en économie agricole. Au Vietnam, le longane “Long” produit dans la province de Hungyen est un produit de spécialité locale, c'est-à-dire dont la qualité spécifique est reconnue par une partie des consommateurs. Néanmoins, le manque d'action collective entre les exploitations agricoles familiales fragilisent les performances de cette filière face aux longanes des autres régions du Vietnam et les longanes importés. Cet article présente les expériences d'appui pour le renforcement de la filière du longane “Long” de la province de Hungyen au Vietnam vers le développement de l'indication géographique. Grâce à l'appui de GTZ (German Technical Cooperation) et de l'IPSARD (Institut de politique et de stratégie pour l'agriculture et le développement rural), la coopérative de longane Long Hongnam, qui consiste en une organisation de producteurs et de commerçants, a été mise sur pied en 2006. La coopérative a permis la mise en place des actions collectives suivantes: l'application d'un itinéraire technique de production amélioré incluant le respect de certaines bonnes pratiques agricoles locales (Good agricultural practices ou GAP), et la mise sur pied d'un espace de dialogue avec les commerçants. Grace à ce dispositif, les producteurs ont pu augmenter leur prix du vente, améliorer l'homogénéité de la qualité des produits, et améliorer leur revenu. La durabilité de ce dispositif est discutée. L'article fait le bilan des forces et faiblesses de ces strategies de soutien a l'action collective

Projekt Rocky - En analys av livscykelkostnader kring broräcken

Inom vägsektorn utgörs beslutsunderlaget för val av investeringsalternativ av investeringskostnaderna. Dock behöver inte en låg investeringskostnad innebära en låg totalkostnad då det är andra kostnadsfaktorer som också väger in i totalkostnaden. I examensarbetet undersöks livscykelkostnader, LCC, för för olika räckestyper för att kunna jämföra den ekonomiska lönsamheten hos dem

Smart Home System

This project involves the design and implementation of a Smart Home system using IoT solutions. Three types of sensors, namely an occupancy sensor, a light sensor and a temperature sensor, along with a security camera are used and incorporated with a microcontroller in a master/slave architecture via Zigbee, a short-range network communication. The data collected from these sensors is transmitted to a cloud-based platform through Wi-Fi for analyzing and downloading to personal smartphones via a designated user interface. The entire system can be controlled both by users’ smartphones and by personal computers

Develop algorithms to determine the status of car drivers using built-in accelerometer and GBDT

In this paper, we introduce a mobile application called CarSafe, in which data from the acceleration sensor integrated on smartphones is exploited to come up with an efficient classification algorithm. Two statuses, "Driving" or "Not driving," are monitored in the real-time manner. It enables automatic actions to help the driver safer. Also, from these data, our software can detect the crash situation. The software will then automatically send messages with the user's location to their emergency departments for timely assistance. The application will also issue the same alert if it detects a driver of a vehicle driving too long. The algorithm's quality is assessed through an average accuracy of 96.5%, which is better than the previous work (i.e., 93%)

Robust Adaptive Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller for 1-DOF Nonlaminated Active Magnetic Bearings

This paper presents a robust adaptive cerebellar model articulation controller (RACMAC) for 1-DOF nonlaminated active magnetic bearings (AMBs) to achieve desired positions for the rotor using a robust sliding mode control based. The dynamic model of 1-DOF nonlaminated AMB is introduced in fractional order equations. However, it is challenging to design a controller based on the model\u27s parameters due to undefined components and external disturbances such as eddy current losses in the actuator, external disturbance, variant parameters of the model while operating. In order to tackle the problem, RACMAC, which has a cerebellar model to estimate nonlinear disturbances, is investigated to resolve this problem. Based on this estimation, a robust adaptive controller that approximates the ideal and compensation controllers is calculated. The online parameters of the neural network are adjusted using Lyapunov\u27s stability theory to ensure the stability of system. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.The simulation results indicate that the CMAC multiple nonlinear multiple estimators are close to the actual nonlinear disturbance value, and the effectiveness of the proposed RACMAC method compared with the FOPID and SMC controllers has been studied previously

Influence of Structure on Optical Properties of WO3 Thin Films Deposited by Sputtering Method

In this paper we report the synthesis of WO$_{3}$ thin films and investigate the effect of the structure on their optical properties. The WO$_{3}$ thin films are coated on glass substrates from both W and WO$_{3}$ targets by the magnetron sputtering method in (Ar+O$_{2}$) plasma under different deposition temperatures, varying from room temperature to 480 \rc{}C. We also evaluate the band gap energy of WO$_{3}$ by considering the transitions between the valence and the conduction bands. This result suggests that the best choices are diagonal and allowed transitions. Based on the values of band gap energy and XRD pattern, we indicate the relationship between crystalline order and optical property and consequently, the difference in color of the samples

Healthy or Environmentally Friendly? Meat Consumption Practices of Green Consumers in Vietnam and Switzerland

High meat consumption is a phenomenon in both developed countries such as Switzerland and emerging countries such as Vietnam. This high meat consumption is associated with environmental, social, and health consequences. Drawing upon social practice theory, this study explores the influence of social practices on the meat consumption of green consumers, as a growing number of consumers in both countries want to eat healthy and sustainably but still have different needs and face different barriers. Data were collected from online group discussions. For green consumers, meat consumption was found to convey certain meanings and depends, among other things, on the information available. The consumption decision in Vietnam is strongly influenced by health and food safety, whereas negative environmental consequences are important in Switzerland. Social and cultural aspects also play a major part in the decision to eat or abstain from meat in both countries. Meat is a non-negotiable part of any special occasion meal in Vietnam and is often eaten at social gatherings in Switzerland. We argue that meat consumption is linked to social status in both countries, but family influence is stronger in Vietnam than in Switzerland. Interventions, such as policy measures that are adapted to regional, cultural, and consumer group specificities and focus on social practices rather than individual behavior, are a promising means to promote meat reduction
