Thomas Dallery, Le divorce rentabilité/croissance dans le capitalisme financiarisé. Changements de régimes, équilibres, instabilités et conflits by Thomas Dallery

“…The macroeconomic realisation of profits being determined by capitalists’ spendings, the slowdown of accumulation cannot come (theoretically) with a profitability recovery, others things being equal.After having recalled, in a first chapter, that financialisation is only the last avatar of a long trend for capitalism to escape from real economy, we show, in a second chapter, that financialisation leads, for the individual firm, to a reorientation towards shareholders’ profitability claims at the expense of managers and capital accumulation, financial (indebtedness) and real (capacity utilisation) security, and also of workers (real wage).After having faced, in a third chapter, two methodological, embarrassing questions for kaleckian models of growth and distribution (not very plausible and unstable for the most plausible ones), we use, in a fourth chapter, a second macroeconomic approach (stock-flow consistent model) where conflict impacts distribution (conflict inflation) and accumulation (growth/profit trade-off). …”

Adaptive channel status based access class barring scheme for traffic emergency communication by Jiao WANG, Gongan QIU, Shibing ZHANG

“…In high-density cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), effective massive access method of cluster communications is the basis to assure the performance index for different services and enhance the spectrum efficiency under limited resource.An improved access class barring (ACB) scheme was proposed using channel status information based on computing power of communication terminal in C-V2X.The base station estimated the communication density within its cover range, generated the ACB factor using the communication density, and broadcasted the ACB.According to signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and ACB factor of the received broadcast signal, the vehicular communication terminal computed the access probability, and compared with ACB factor.When the access probability was more than the ACB factor, the terminal selected a preamble randomly from the preamble pool with the probability which equal to the access probability or one.The terminal transmited the selected preamble to the base station for finishing the access program.The simulation results show that the scheme proposed has 5%～20% advantage over S-Aloha and machine to machine opportunistic splitting algorithm (M2M-OSA) schemes in average access collision probability.It reduces the average access delay effectively.…”

Perceptions of Medical Teachers Regarding Certification and Master’s in Health Profession Education by Ghazala Mudassir, Sumreena Mansoor, Maryam Habib

“…It was suggested that the content of FDP in view of the different roles of medical teachers should include teaching and non-teaching aspects like research, management and leadership which should be equally stressed upon. Although long duration faculty development programs imparted greater depth of knowledge, skills and attitude in health professionals and medical teachers, but if a format of FDP was to be made mandatory for all the medical teaching faculty than a shorter course, highlighting the basics of medical education and having a duration of six-month can be enforced. …”
