Pour la nouvelle contemporaine, les espaces intermédiaires sont des lieux de prédilection, provoquant une tension entre le départ et l'arrivée, entre le familier et l'étranger. Le thème « Jardin » de ce numéro actualise cette situation que préconise la prose narrative brève. Qu'il soit chaos ou désordre, fleuri ou jauni, concret ou symbolique, le jardin est ici l'espace multiple de toutes les projections où germinent les désirs, les émotions et les métaphores. Il représente l'entrée dans un paradis redécouvert ou la sortie dans un enfer et prépare ainsi une chute positive ou négative. Mais, au final, dans ce numéro à l'odeur de rose et de lavande, les douze nouvelliers sont tous jardiniers. Avec les contributions de Hugues Corriveau, Jean-Simon Desrochers, Fannie Langlois et Audrée Wilhelmy, entre autres.
« Trouver sa place de grand-parent, cela demande d'avoir réfléchi au temps et à l'énergie que l'on est prêt à consacrer à ses petits-enfants, de marquer ses limites comme d'accepter celles que mettent les parents, mais surtout de faire preuve de souplesse en s'adaptant à toutes les circonstances de la vie qui conduisent parfois loin des principes que l'on s'était donnés. » « En tant que grands-parents, nous n'avons pas l'obligation de nous comporter en maîtres détenteurs de l'autorité, nous pouvons la faire respecter avec un petit clin d'oeil. » « Nous pouvons en quelque sorte être des ponts entre les parents et l'adolescent, relativiser ce qui semble insurmontable... »
Ces brèves réflexions de grands-parents illustrent quelques spécificités de la grand-parentalité : capacité d'adaptation, bien sûr, mais aussi, un nouveau rôle à s'approprier et à ne pas confondre avec celui de parent. Écoute, conseil, aide en tout genre, transmission de l'histoire familiale, de valeurs ou encore de compétences/connaissances sont autant de façons possibles pour les mamys et les papys de bâtir une relation avec leurs petits-enfants, toujours dans l'espace qui leur est laissé par les parents.
Mais parfois, pour diverses raisons, il se peut qu'aucune place ne leur soit accordée. Ainsi, un certain nombre de grands-parents s'interrogent sur leurs droits et entreprennent des démarches en espérant pouvoir être présents dans la vie de leurs petits-enfants. À l'inverse, d'autres grands-parents sont, quant à eux, sursollicités... et doivent parfois encore répondre aux demandes de soutien de leurs propres parents. Pris en sandwich, il peut leur être difficile de conjuguer ces interpellations émanant de toute part, qui plus est lorsqu'ils sont encore actifs professionnellement... N'y aurait-il pas un couac dans l'organisation sociétale ?
Cet ouvrage présente les composantes techniques d'une culture bananière durable dont les fruits sont destinés au marché international. Après un rappel des connaissances sur la plante, les contraintes parasitaires et l'évolution économique récente de ce produit, l'auteur présente les concepts de culture raisonnée et de banane biologique. En tenant compte des évolutions récentes tant dans les domaines phytosanitaires et agronomiques que dans ceux de la fertilisation et de l'irrigation, il développe ensuite tous les aspects de la production : conditions de mise en culture pour réduire les intrants et donc la pollution ; pratiques optimales pour obtenir une productivité satisfaisante ; opérations de conditionnement nécessaires pour garantir la qualité des fruits ; techniques d'aide à la décision pour raisonner les pratiques culturales.
Le conte...
« Un outil d'éducation des plus féconds et des plus riches... »
« Les parfums... si variés, subtils, suaves, ténus ou envoûtants, fascinants, porteurs de pouvoirs, invisibles comme des êtres de mystère...
Ne pouvait-on, me disais-je, les présenter aux enfants autrement qu'à travers le savoir-faire et la technologie de l'homme ? »
Simone Righetti

Model Predictive Control Understand the practical side of controlling industrial processes Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a method for controlling a process according to given parameters, derived in many cases from empirical models. It has been widely applied in industrial units to increase revenue and promoting sustainability. Systematic overviews of this subject, however, are rare, and few draw on direct experience in industrial settings. Assuming basic knowledge of the relevant mathematical and algebraic modeling techniques, the book's title combines foundational theories of MPC with a thorough sense of its practical applications in an industrial context. The result is a presentation uniquely suited to rapid incorporation in an industrial workplace. Model Predictive Control readers will also find: Two-part organization to balance theory and applications Selection of topics directly driven by industrial demand An author with decades of experience in both teaching and industrial practice This book is ideal for industrial control engineers and researchers looking to understand MPC technology, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying predictive control and related subjects.
Dit proefschrift gaat over gebiedsgericht voorraadbeleid van woningcorporaties. In dit proefschrift is te lezen hoe woningcorporaties komen tot samenhangende voornemens ten aanzien van de woningvoorraad in wijken en buurten en welke planningsbenaderingen ze hierbij gebruiken.
Woningcorporaties hebben zich sinds hun verzelfstandiging in de jaren negentig van de vorige eeuw ontwikkeld tot maatschappelijke ondernemingen die zich inzetten op een breed werkterrein. Deze verandering zorgt voor een toegenomen complexiteit van de besluitvorming over de woningvoorraad van de corporaties. Het voorraadbeleid van woningcorporaties is veranderd van een beleid dat vooral gericht is op de fysieke pijler (woningen), op de primaire doelgroep en op de eigen portefeuille, naar een gebiedsgericht (voorraad)beleid dat zich kenmerkt door de samenwerking met andere partijen, de verbreding naar sociale en economische activiteiten en een (beleids)onderscheid tussen verschillende gebieden. De traditionele modellen voor strategisch voorraadbeleid zijn vaak niet aangepast aan deze ontwikkeling. Deze modellen houden onvoldoende rekening met gebiedskenmerken, waardoor de voorgestelde maatregelen niet vanzelfsprekend aansluiten op de gebiedsspecifieke problemen. Daarnaast is het beleid lastig uit te voeren, omdat de topdown-benadering van de modellen de werkelijkheid veronachtzaamt waarin meerdere, wederzijds afhankelijke actoren nodig zijn om beleid ten aanzien van de woningvoorraad te laten slagen.
In dit proefschrift is daarom onderzocht welke planningsbenaderingen woningcorporaties hanteren bij het formuleren van gebiedsgericht voorraadbeleid in Vogelaarwijken.
