Agir en compétence dans les centres d’appels : dilemmes entre emploi, travail et santé by Simone Santos Oliveira, Jussara Brito, Marianne Lacomblez

“…Nevertheless, an "action competence" is evidenced, characterized by another use of prescriptions, pauses, script and voice.

American rhapsodies revisited: figures de l'altérité et voix mêlées dans Music through the Floor (2005) d'Eric Puchner by Nathalie Vincent-Arnaud

“…As suggested by the title itself, music stands as the overriding metaphor for the conflicting identities, peculiarities and human relationships staged by the short stories in many different ways, just as music actually performed is a major element through which various voices can be heard. In keeping with some famous works of art–mainly musical or cinematographic–aimed at characterizing the U.S.A. as a whole, Puchner's writing gives birth to a rhapsodic form in which, even though they do blend sometimes in an elusive way, each voice is that of a soloist performing on his own in a "community of loners".…”

The Value of Rubbish in Francophone Chinese Art Installations by Rosalind Silvester

“…We focus on displays created by Chen Zhen, Wang Du and Shen Yuan, francophone Chinese artists who, by means of the practices of recuperation and recycling, raise awareness of social, political and environmental issues, leading to the viewer’s cultural engagement in a trajectory of change. In giving voice to a vision, their works enable an analysis of the cultural transformation of both subject (artist/viewer) and object (primary material) brought about by the ubiquitous presence of rubbish as physical and discursive reality.…”

Source localization based on time delay estimation in complex environment by Da-wei ZHANG, Chang-chun BAO, Bing-yin XIA

“…In order to improve the performance of source localization in noisy and reverberant environments,a novel time delay estimation (TDE) method was proposed.This method is called acoustical transfer function ratio based on statistical model (ATFR-SM).In the proposed algorithm,the noise reduction method based on the statistical model was adopted to reduce the effect of noise on acoustical transfer Function (ATF).In the ATF method,the power spectral density (PSD) was smoothed and whitened to reduce the effect of reverberations.voice activity detection (VAD) was used to distinguish the speech period from the noise period,and the TDE was performed in the speech period to improve the estimation accuracy.Moreover,the proposed TDE method and the linear closed-form method for source localization were combined to constitute a source localization system.The results of performance evaluation show that,in both the noisy and reverberant conditions,the lower percentage of abnormal points (PAP) and lower root mean square error (RMSE) can be achieved by the proposed TDE method than those of the reference methods.Meanwhile,the source localization has higher accuracy than the reference methods.…”
