Les régimes de ressources au Canada : les trois crises de l'extractivisme by Yann Fournis, Marie-José Fortin

“…On the macro-structural scale, resources regimes are the institutional legacy of a political economy historically focused on resources, which ensures the pre-eminence of international-oriented economic regulations (a staple socio-economy). On the meso-policical scale, these resources regimes are dynamic political arrangements which, while stabilizing the exploitation of resources, promotes extractivist actors to the detriment of third-party actors. …”

Optimization of multiple access in the energy harvesting wireless sensor network with delivery deadline constraint by Aoqin YANG, Aoyu GONG, Ting FANG, Lei DENG, Qiang LI, Yijin ZHANG

“…With the wide application of the energy harvesting wireless sensor network (WSN) in many real-time communication scenarios, such as environmental monitoring, industrial automation and battlefield surveillance, the multiple access of such WSN needs to take into account both the delivery deadline constraint of data packets and the energy harvesting dynamics of sensor nodes.Due to the inherent decoupling of interference, delivery urgency and remaining energy, the design and optimization of such multiple access are more challenging than that of traditional multiple access that only needs to take into account the packet traffic pattern.A centralized access scheme was designed with the access actions relying on the global knowledge of current delivery urgency and remaining energy.And then, to avoid the costly overhead in the centralized access, a decentralized access scheme was designed with the access probabilities merely relying on the local knowledge of delivery urgency and remaining energy.Under the objective of maximizing the network throughput, the centralized access schemes were formulated with complete and simplified knowledge as two Markov decision processes (MDPs), respectively, and the backward induction algorithm was used to obtain optimal centralized policies for these MDPs.Furthermore, the decentralized access was formulated with simplified knowledge as a decentralized MDP, and the Markov policy search was used to propose an ε-optimal decentralized policy.Simulations under a wide range of network configurations were provided to verify the effectiveness of the simplified modeling and demonstrate the performance advantage of the proposed polices.…”

The concept and types of subjects of countering offenses in the entrepreneurial sphere by V. M. Vasyliev

“…For this purpose, the notion of the subject of management, the subject of policing was established. The notion of a subject of an offense in the sphere of entrepreneurship is defined: a system of state and non-state bodies, public organizations, social groups and citizens whose activities are focused on eliminating the causes and conditions that give rise to and provoke offenses in the sphere of economic commercial activity (entrepreneurship), preventing these offenses from different stages of incorrect behavior of participants of relations in the field of entrepreneurship, as well as bringing them to the legal first responsibility. …”
