Full textWith the cost of microprocessor systems dropping steadily, sensor networks are becoming more and more viable for replacing traditional "dumb" sensors. This presents a host of advantages to the system collecting data, and allows for unprecedented system flexibility. In parallel to these developments, RFID "tagging" has come a long way and has also entered the realm of affordable sensor solutions. The merger of these ideas enables transient, modular, and reconfigurable asset identification and tracking systems. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of implementing such a network with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) parts for real world applications. Specifically, we create a drop-in system for managing documents and records in a medical triage center, based on identifying assets and personnel by means of RFID. A self-reconfiguring sensor network provides the foundation, allows for the system to be deployed in minutes, both on a battlefield or in a hospital, and once deployed, the hospital beds may move around freely. The advantages of this platform will be discussed alongside the unique requirements that are introduced in this type of project.

Full textThe construction of idiom signification necessitates a special strategy. A large number of idioms prove to be figurative in nature. They were at the beginning mere creative metaphors that survived by frequent use and acquired a new status that of idiomaticity. This figurative character offers a special case of study to demonstrate the motivation of this kind of idioms referred to as idiomatic expressions. This thesis exploits this figure in the case of the idiomatic expressions containing body parts and abstract nouns to show that not all idioms are non-compositional as it was largely assumed by traditional linguistic theories. In this work, the identification of idioms encoding metaphorical analogy comes as a first step before their processing. Can linguistic clues be used to identify this category of idioms? How does metaphor function in the construction of figurative meaning? In addition to this, this work refers to the theory of G. Lakoff (1987) who assumed that idiomatic expressions are motivated by conceptual metaphors of the type “A is B”. In order to construct the figurative meaning of an expression it is necessary to construct the underlying conceptual metaphor that will structure the implicit analogy. However, this work is complex in a conversational situation. Hence, the work consists instead in constructing the figurative meaning without obligatory constructing the conceptual metaphor. The contribution of linguistic clues, namely the verb, the preposition, the aspect, the adverbs, etc. And the typical syntagmatic combinations are subject to study. Significant findings are obtained from the linguistic study. The work consists also in understanding whether the linguistic study is sufficient by it self to account for the figurative status of an expression or that the conceptual knowledge we have on the idiomatic constituents is required

Full textThrough various sources, particularly oral sources collected from ancient communists, ordinary members or officials, and articles of martinican Communist press, this thesis shows about the militant fervor of martinican men and women and essential political family in the course of the twentieth century. This study covers a long period extending mainly from 1920 to 1971 showing the early stuttering of communism in Martinique, his ascension, his prosperous period and the beginning of his slow decline. The issue is first to make discover Martinicans in their experience of communist militant, present how these men and women appropriated a doctrine, transformed it perhaps to suit at their needs, at their culture. It is also to consider what communist structure was put in place in Martinique; this organization was it like the metropolitan federations or was it a specific political party? Then to better understand the choices and paths, it’s necessary arrive at identifying mentors, origins of this activism and training of militants. Referents were as figures specific to Marxism and international and national socialism as figures as specific martinican politics. Then offer a reading of practices and activist strategies for assessing the quality and uniqueness of this militancy and the consequences of the commitment of these activists in different spheres. What were their political choices, why their political demands did they differ from others colonial Communists? How to explain their choice of a new society more egalitarian in a socialist state, but always associated with France? This research study positions that militancy in the center of an analysis that explores the political and social history of a population, based on other disciplines such as socio-biography and political-sciences. It examines the shaping of a people by a political significant group between 1920 and 1971, and the proposals of this group face different political and social problems in promoting an approach by the actors

Full textDiamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a congenital rare erythroblastopenia due to a blockage in the maturation of erythroid cells between the BFU-e and CFU-e stages. DBA is characterized by an aregenerative, usually macrocytic, anemia, associated with the total absence or less than 5% of erythroid precursors in the bone marrow. In 50% of DBA cases, anemia is associated with congenital malformations affecting the cephalic area and the extremities of the limbs and a growth delay. The DBA phenotype and genotype are heterogeneous, however a mutation in a ribosomal protein (RP) gene, always at heterozygous state, is found in 80% of cases. Up to date, 20 RP genes have been associated with DBA pathophysiology, establishing DBA as the first identified ribosomopathy. Mutations of these RP induce a defect in rRNA maturation. Therefore, for ribosome dysfunction, cell cycle arrest and p53-mediated apoptosis induction are responsible for erythroblastopenia in patients. More rarely, DBA may be the consequence of mutations present on a non-PR gene: the GATA-1 gene (major transcription factor of erythropoiesis), the TSR2 gene (interacting with the RPS26 protein and involved in ribosome biogenesis) or the EPO gene (erythropoiesis key cytokine) have been identified so far. However, 20% of the DBA patients are still not genotypically diagnosed, leaving room for the discovery of new candidate genes. In this perspective, the aim of my PhD was therefore to identify new candidate genes involved in DBA etiology and characterize their functional roles of in order to confirm their link with DBA. For this purpose, we sequenced exomes on 25 families and identified 8 candidate genes. In this manuscript, I will present my work as part of a bigger project to validate four new genes involved in BDA pathophysiology.RPL9 is a RP of the large 60S ribosomal subunit. Mutations in this gene lead to two different phenotypes depending on the allelic variant: a DBA phenotype for an allelic variant of the 5' UTR or a phenotype associated with a cancer risk. As part of a collaborative work that compared the two RPL9 variants, I showed that the DBA variant only has an impact on erythroid differentiation Compared to a healthy individual, patients presenting the DBA variant exhibit a reduced proliferation rate and a delay in the acquisition of erythroid markers. P53-dependent activation of p21 in those cells is most likely responsible for the cell cycle arrest. Activation of caspases sign an induction of apoptosis and is consistent with the reduced viability of erythroid progenitors. A collaborative study on the RPL13 gene confirmed the specific role of certain RP proteins in non-DBA diseases and added a new disease to the list of ribosomopathiesXRibosome chaperone proteins represent a new group of genes that may be associated with DBA. I investigated the proliferation, division, amplification, differentiation and viability of primary erythroid cells from patients with allelic variations in one of these genes: HEATR3. These experiments revealed a lack of erythroid proliferation, with a defect in cell division. The mRNA and protein quantifications showed a stabilization of p53, leading to an activation of its targets: p21, controlling cell cycle, and Bax, involved in apoptosis induction. We also observed a delay in differentiation with the persistence of CD34 and IL-3R immaturity markers and a delay in the appearance of terminal markers such as BAND3 or alpha4-integrin. The role of HSP70 controlling GATA1 localization in early stages of the erythroid differentiation was recently elucidated. In this work, I identified as a new candidate gene for DBA, a HSP70 family member, HSPA14, and I characterized the defects in erythroid differentiation induced by this variant. Furthermore, I was able to identify an association of DBA with a variant in CECR1 gene encoding an adenosine deaminase in several families of the EURODBA consortium

Full textTransposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences, with the extraordinary ability to jump and propagate in genomes. Discovered in the 1940s in maize, they are present in all sequenced genomes. Even if a large amount of data reveals their role in evolution, function and structure of genomes, we are still far from understanding every facet of their biological impact on organisms. TEs are not distributed randomly, partly due to mechanisms that target the integration to preferred genomic regions. This is the case for Ty1, a retrotransposon of S. cerevisiae, that targets a one-kilobase window upstream of RNA Polymerase III (Pol III)-transcribed genes. This specificity is due to an interaction between the element-encoded integrase and AC40, a subunit of Pol III. When this interaction is disrupted, Ty1 insertions are redistributed to subtelomeres, which suggests that other factors that regulate the integration selectivity of the retrotransposon exist. The aim of this work was to determine those factors by two complementary approaches. First, we studied the implication in this process of histone variants that correlate with Ty1 integration sites. Second, we identified new partners of Ty1 integrase by a proteomic screen. Our results did not lead us to identifying new cellular factors involved in the recognition of Ty1 integration site. They however widened the array of host proteins that regulate Ty1 retrotransposition. Indeed, we found that the histone variant H2A.Z and the protein kinase CK2 repress Ty1 retrotransposition. CK2 acts at transcriptional and post-transcriptional steps, interacts with the integrase in vivo and phosphorylates it in vitro on several residues in the C-terminal domain, probably thereby regulating its stability. Additional experiments will be required to confirm this hypothesis, to discover by which mechanisms CK2 regulates Ty1, and to understand the role of H2A.Z

Full textFor decades, Ivry-sur-Seine was seen as a model Communist stronghold within the Paris ‘Red Belt'. The particular brand of communism practiced by Ivry's municipal government had turned its working-class housing estates into laboratories directed towards the production of a singularly efficient political affiliation system. Until the watershed of the 1980s, electoral results for the various communist representatives in the Maurice Thorez and Yuri Gagarin housing estates seemed to corroborate this. The decline of the politicization model born of industrialization as well as the generation gap have radically undermined the conditions in which a socio-political affiliation system favourable to communist representatives can survive, however. The choice of a long-term ethnographic approach can give us insight into this phenomenon. Since the middle of the 1980s, the contrasting socio-political evolution of the Thorez and Gagarin allotments has testified to the intra-municipal disruption that affects this type of suburban Parisian territory. In the Yuri Gagarin area, the majority of older working-class families have been replaced with a new working-class population essentially stemming from immigration. Often unaware of the rich history of communism in their municipality, these new generations are sometimes actively involved in the challenging of the older local political authority. Downtown, on the contrary, the descendants of the families that were closest to the local party machine have maintained residency in the Maurice Thorez area. Community links have survived around a local political “endocracy” that works relatively independently from the older partisan frame. For many middle-class families living in Ivry, the maintenance of a certain communist authority makes it easier to accept the social, political, and electoral transformations of contemporary municipal communism

Full textCongenital Abnormalities of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) comprise a broad spectrum of renal and urinary tract malformations with a wide range of severity. CAKUT represent major causes of chronic kidney disease in children, and the most severe cases are associated with perinatal lethality and/or termination of pregnancy. CAKUT are due to defects arising during renal development and their pathophysiological mechanisms are complex, involving both environmental and genetic factors. Although disease-causing mutations in more than 50 genes have been reported,mutations in these genes can explain only 20% of the cases, while for the others the genetic causeremains unknown.Using a combined approach of whole-exome and targeted exome sequencing, we identified mutations in a novel gene, GREB1L (Growth Regulation by Estrogen in Breast Cancer 1 Like), in CAKUT-affected cases in 16 independent families, 12 of them with foetuses with bilateral kidneyagenesis (BKA) and uterus agenesis (female foetuses). This gene had never been implicated in kidney development and its function is unknown. We generated a mouse model invalidated for Greb1l usingCRISPR/Cas9. Embryonic lethality was observed in Greb1l knockout mice at the homozygous stateand all Greb1l-/- embryos were smaller and presented exencephaly, BKA and absence of Wolff and Muller ducts, as well as heart defects. Further studies on early embryonic stages demonstrated that Greb1l is necessary for proper intermediate mesoderm specification. In parallel, another candidate gene for CAKUT, SRPK1 (Serine/Arginine-Rich Protein Kinase 1), was studied. A variant in this gene was identified in a family with several cystic CAKUT-affected members. The protein encoded by this gene is a kinase specific for Serine/Arginine rich proteins, especially splicing factors. Invalidation of Srpk1 in kidney epithelial cells led to defects in epithelialisation and establishment of apico-basal polarity, processes important for proper kidney development. Moreover, transcriptomic studies on these cells revealed Srpk1 to be implicated in the regulation of the expression of genes controlling kidney development. Altogether, this suggests thatSRPK1 is a good candidate gene for CAKUT

Full textIn eukaryotes, chromatin organization is required for the regulation of gene expression and genome stability. Ciliate provide excellent model to study mechanisms involved in maintain of genome integrity. Our study model, the unicellular eukaryote Paramecium tetraurelia, has the particularity to eliminate massively and reproducibly 30% of germinal DNA sequences during the development of the somatic macronucleus after sexual events. Those sequences are eliminated by a multi-step process involving small RNA-directed heterochromatin formation followed by DNA excision by the domesticated transposase Piggy Mac (Pgm) and DNA repair. Molecular mechanisms underlying the specific recognition of those germinal sequences in chromatin context and the precision of the excision, remain elusive. The histone chaperone Spt16, associated to its partner Pob3, is part of the heterodimeric complex FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transactions). FACT is implicated in many mechanisms involving DNA metabolism such as transcription, repair, replication or chromatin accessibility. In P. tetraurelia, we identified two homologous proteins to Spt16 and Pob3 expressed only during macronucleus development at the time when genome rearrangements occur. Spt16-1 and Pob3-1 fused to GFP are localized in developing macronuclei. We showed that Spt16-1 is required to obtain a viable sexual progeny. Genome re-sequencing after SPT16-1 inactivation showed that Spt16-1 was required for all DNA elimination events and leads to similar phenotypes and defects to those obtained after PGM inactivation. Spt16-1 acts downstream of small RNA-directed heterochromatin formation and upstream of Pgm. We showed that Spt16-1 was required for the correct localization of Pgm responsible for DNA double strand breaks in developing macronuclei. We proposed a model in which Spt16-1 mediates interaction between chromatin and excision machinery that facilitates access to DNA cleavage sites for the Pgm endonuclease. Adenine DNA methylation, well known in bacteria for its role in restriction modification system, has been described during the last two years in several eukaryotes but in low proportion in the genome. However, its role in eukaryotes remains elusive. Previous analyses by chromatography with radio labelled nucleotides detected around 2,5% of methylated adenine in P. tetraurelia but its precise localization and role have never been analyzed. It has been proposed that this modification could mark with precision the excision sites during genome rearrangements when part of the eliminated sequences carry AT boundaries. The abundance of methylated adenine makes of Paramecium an excellent model to study this modification. Combining immunofluorescence techniques, HPLC-MS and sequencing, we described the presence and the cellular localization during life cycle of 6mA in P. tetraurelia. Those approaches allowed us to show that methylated cytosine are absent in Paramecium. We showed that methylation is mainly found in the somatic genome and transiently in germinal genome. It appears during somatic macronucleus development when genome rearrangements occur. Those preliminary results will allow us to pursue the study of adenine methylation by identifying responsible enzymes and its role in the cell

Full textGREENWOOD, PAUL BRIAN. Sport Fan Team Identification in a Professional Expansion Setting. (Under the direction of Michael A. Kanters.) This study assessed the relationship between team identification of sport fans and a number of different variables including but not limited to: the reasons for initially becoming a fan, specific sport knowledge, and purchasing behavior. A non-random sample of spectators (N = 356) at an Arena Football League (AFL) game completed a survey designed to identify or measure the aforementioned variables. A t-test revealed that males reported significantly higher levels of team identification than females. Analysis using a Pearson correlation matrix showed a positive correlation between team identification and sport knowledge, attendance rate, and purchasing behavior. Likewise, a positive correlation was found between team identification and the following reasons for initially becoming a fan: closest team, born and/or live in the city and/or state, team success, the players and/or coaches, parents and/or family influence, and the tailgating and party atmosphere. The findings have important implications for professional sport franchises in terms of tailoring marketing efforts for potential fans.

Full textThis essay on the "Bourgeois de Paris" aims at determining meanings and uses of this qualification in literature and political, religious and social Parisian life from louis xiv to the french revolution. Enlightenment's literature distinguishs the "Bourgeois" on one part, nobility and popular classes on the other part, by their socio-cultural practices and their mentalities. There are a lot of groups of "Bourgeois de Paris" which are different because each gather fellows whose profession, degree of integration in the capital. . . Are not similar. When these men have a common status, they are associated to institutions inherited from middle age (municipality, confraternity of notre-dame for the "Bourgeois de Paris"), or they are integrated in legal or fiscal hierarchies (individual privileges, poll-tax). The theorical definition of these groups can be constant since their creation (the wide corporation of "Bourgeois de Paris" has been defined as inhabitants living in Paris since one year and one day, nobles and roturiers take part of it), il has sometimes changes because of financial needings of monarchy or wish of a social group (tradesman of "six corps" monopolize aldermanship). Socio-professionnal groups whose members use their latent status of "Bourgeois de Paris" can too change (nobles and members of parliament are less numerous in eighteenth century as electors of the two aldermen and as colleagues in the confraternity notre-dame). The "Bourgeois de Paris" who qualify themselves then in civil and professionnal acts, essentially notarial, are belonging to professionnal groups which are excluded de facto or de jure from collectives and individual privileges of homonymous groups : servents in work or retired, and others workers (as rents receivers), they choose this title instead of the name of their job

Full textThe characterization of a radiological scene is a major issue in many fields, such as nuclear safety and security, Decommissioning & Dismantling or in the medical field. Such an analysis consists in answering two main questions. On the one hand, what radioelements are present in the scene and in what quantities? On the other hand, where are these radio-emitting sources located? The systems designed to answer these questions use the information carried by the X and gamma photons from these radioactive sources, hence the name "gamma camera" for these systems. Their performances naturally depend on those of the instrument, but also on the performances of the processing algorithms applied to the data acquired by the instrument. In the framework of this thesis, I study the development of a gamma camera, based on the Caliste technology, a CdTe detector for high-energy photons, which results from more than fifteen years of development, initially for applications in astrophysical observation. The spectrometric and imaging performances of this detector are a world reference in the field of CdTe detectors, hence the relevance of its application for gamma cameras. More specifically, my thesis work explores three axes. First, through a detailed modelling of the detector, I analyse the spectrometric data from Caliste in order to understand how they carry the information of the nature and quantity of radioelements. This modelling and this analysis allow me to develop new and original spectrometric data processing algorithms, based on deep learning methods and Bayesian convolutional neural networks, in order to answer the question of identification and quantification of radioelements while providing an estimation of the uncertainty of the results. In a second step, I study the use of coded mask imaging methods with Caliste, and in particular, the algorithms for locating radioactive sources. I show the application and the limits for the reconstruction provided by the algorithms usually used for this problem and then I demonstrate the potential of deep learning algorithms to overcome these limits. Finally, I analyse the problem of localization of radioactive hot spots by Compton imaging, through processing algorithms adapted to Caliste detectors, by comparing the performances of methods resulting from the state of the art to new methods that I develop. Throughout this thesis work, I develop my algorithms from simulation data in order to transpose these methods to other detection systems. Then, I take care to test them on data acquired with Caliste detectors, in order to obtain an evaluation of their performances, faithful to real conditions and in order to confront these algorithms with the hazards of the measurements, not taken into account in the simulations

Full textThis thesis explores the forms of identification adopted by French Caribbean clubbers in the Parisian region in relation to the issues of gender and diaspora. My hypothesis is that clubbing is a cultural space that fosters diasporic identities and transnational socialities. Methodologically the thesis is the result of fourteen months of participant observation in Paris and one in Martinique. First I have investigated the human geographies of Antillean clubs in the banlieues of Paris by analyzing in detail the residential patterns and sense of class belonging of my informants. Next I have inscribed the night-time leisure practices in the migration patterns of these informants. I argue that the transnational character of Caribbean nightlife is a testimony to relevant diasporic constructions that have not previously been explored. However my thesis underlines how these constructions were not unproblematic for female participants. The second part of the thesis focuses on the specific transnational and diasporic character of zouk, a French Caribbean music genre. I conclude having investigated issues of gender inequality in clubs and the strategies women employ in order to participate in the dancehall scene

Full textRNA decay is a central cellular process as it regulates RNA stability and quality and thereby gene expression, which is essential to ensure proper cellular physiology and establishment of adapted responses to viral infection. Global takeover of gene expression machineries and rewiring of the cellular environment is key to the success of viral infection. Cellular proteome and viral replication are tightly connected and cellular RNA processing, stability, quality and decay accordingly influence the fate of the viral cycle. Growing evidence points towards the existence of a large interplay between eukaryotic RNA turnover machineries and viral proteins. Viruses not only evolved mechanisms to evade those RNA degradation pathways, but they also manipulate them to promote viral replication.Influenza A viruses (IAV) are major pathogens responsible for yearly epidemics and occasional pandemics. To complete their viral cycle, IAVs rely on many cellular proteins and establish a complex and highly coordinated interplay with the host proteome. Growing evidence supports the existence of a complex interplay between IAV viral proteins and RNA decay machineries. Unraveling such interplay is therefore essential to gain a better understanding of the IAV life cycle, required for the development of antiviral strategies. This led us to systematically screen interactions between viral proteins involved in IAV replication and a selected set of 75 cellular proteins carrying exoribonucleases activities or associated with RNA decay machineries. A total of 18 proteins were identified as interactors of at least one viral protein tested. Analysis of the interaction network highlighted a specific and preferential targeting of RNA degradation pathways by IAV proteins. Among validated interactors, a targeted RNAi screen identified nine factors as required for viral multiplication. We chose to focus on the 3’-5’ exoribonuclease 1 (ERI1), found in our screen as an interactor of several components of the vRNPs (viral RiboNucleoProtein) (PB2, PB1 and NP). The ERI1 protein is a major player in the control of cellular gene expression as it is essential for the maturation and decay of histone mRNA, maturation of 5.8S rRNA and miRNA homeostasis in mammalian cells. Exploring the interplay between ERI1 and viral proteins during the course of IAV infection we found that i) ERI1 promotes viral transcription, and both of its activities – RNA binding and exonuclease – are required, ii) ERI1 interacts with viral proteins in an RNA dependent manner, iii) ERI1 interacts with the transcribing vRNPs, iv) viral proteins interact with a form of ERI1 that is associated to histone mRNA. Ultimately, our data point to a model where ERI1 associated to histone mRNA is co-opted by the transcribing viral polymerase, thereby promoting IAV multiplication, through a mechanism that remains to be precisely determined. Targeting of ERI1 by IAV is another example further supporting the intricate interplay between IAV and RNA decay machineries, used to rewire cellular gene expression in order to create a favorable environment for viral replication

The methodology includes application of six morphometric indices (Basin Shape, Hypsometric curve and Hypsometric Integral, Sinuosity of Mountain Fronts, Stream Length Gradient Index, Valley width to height ratio, and Asymmetry Factor) to Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the region generated from 1:25000 scale topographic maps. The analyses indicate that the basins located in the study area have different characteristics of tectonic activity. According to the results of the applied indices relative order of the activity for tectonic basins is, in decreasing order, Bolu, Tosya, Ilgaz, Ç

Det talas idag om ett minskat stöd och identifikation till politiska partier. Forskning visar att unga människor spenderar mer tid och är mer benägna än äldre att använda Internet för att skaffa politisk information. I en enkätundersökning med 125 deltagare i fyra åldersgrupper undersöktes om unga i större utsträckning än äldre identifierar sig med icke-parlamentariska rörelser som för fram sina budskap på Internet. Hos deltagarna mättes graden av parlamentarisk och icke-parlamentarisk identifikation som funktion av ålder och Internettid. Unga hade en signifikant högre Internettid än äldre. Dock påvisades inga andra signifikanta skillnader mellan åldersgrupperna avseende identifikation. Området kring Internetmediet och dess effekt på politisk identifikation förefaller vara relativt begränsad, varför det skulle vara intressant att utveckla denna forskning i Sverige

Full textTraceability systems are capable of both tracking and tracing parts. They offer many benefits to an organisation from assisting with recall applications to monitoring the everyday workings of a production line or supply chain. There are numerous methods able to act as traceability systems but only a few can be regarded as automatic and unique identifiers. Automatic traceability of individual entities is the future. It is already widely used by a number of leading companies throughout different business sectors and wide mass adoption is imminent. At present, they are slightly more expensive than the simpler technologies but once mass produced, the cost will come down. To completely understand how traceability systems are implemented, practical experience is required. When starting a traceability project, there are a lot of different options. The different systems offer their own set of advantages and some don’t work in certain environments. It was for this reason that The Decision Making Model was developed to assist users through the difficult initial stages of traceability implementation (i.e. choosing the system most suitable to a particular environment). This model was programmed in Excel and supplies the user with a number of questions regarding the environment the system would work in as well as the user’s requirements. The answers to these questions help the user work through the different types of traceability options to eliminate unsuitable choices. The result is an easy to use program designed with the ability to be upgraded as the technologies evolve.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the state estimation and parameter identi cation problems of piecewise a ne models. Piecewise a ne models are obtained when the state domain or the input domain are partitioned into regions and, for each region, a linear or a ne submodel is used to describe the system dynamics. We propose a recursive state estimation algorithm and a parameter identi cation algorithm to a class of piecewise a ne models. We propose a Bayesian state estimate which uses the Kalman lter in each submodel. In the this estimator, the cumulative distribution is used to compute the posterior distribution of the state as well as the probability of each submodel. On the other hand, the proposed identi cation method uses the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm to identify the model parameters. We use the cumulative distribution to compute the probability of each submodel based on the system measurements. Subsequently, we use the Kalman smoother to estimate the state and compute a surrogate function for the likelihood function. This function is used to estimate the model parameters. The proposed estimator was used to estimate the state of the nonlinear model for vibrations caused by clearances. Numerical simulations were performed, where we have compared the proposed method to the extended Kalman lter and the particle lter. The identi cation algorithm was used to identify the model parameters of the JAS 39 Gripen aircraft as well as the nonlinear model for vibrations caused by clearances.

Full textLa participación a través de un partido político está en declive a nivel global (Dalton y Wattenberg 2000). En su lugar, han surgido nuevas formas de hacer política más horizontales, las cuales merman la capacidad de movilización de los partidos (Cross y Young 2008). En América Latina, junto a ello, la informalidad y el establecimiento de vínculos directos entre el líder y sus seguidores son elementos que debilitan aún más la identificación con una organización partidaria. No obstante, los partidos persisten, sobreviven desde su precaria institucionalidad, y adaptan sus estrategias para obtener una base de militantes que sostenga la organización. ¿Cómo entender esta decisión por participar dentro de un partido político en un contexto que la desincentiva?El presente artículo discute los incentivos por los que los jóvenes deciden militar en un partido personalista peruano. Para ello, se estudia el caso de los jóvenes del Partido Solidaridad Nacional en Lima; organización que, bajo el liderazgo de José Luna Gálvez en 2014, implementó una estrategia de captación de jóvenes que adecuó la oferta militante a las diversas motivaciones que poseían los militantes. Enre ellos, figuraban fines altruistas, el interés en una carrera política u oportunidades de estudio o trabajo. Así, resalta el empleo de Diplomados Solidarios a cargo de la Universidad Telesup para el reclutamiento e identificación de militantes, además de motivaciones altruistas y normas sociales que atraen a los jóvenes durante el proceso de socialización política.
