Desta forma, foi possível verificar que a maior parte dos gestores das MPEs investigadas identificam que o design gráfico, por meio da IVC, contribui de forma positiva para a performance do seu negócio, proporcionando diferentes tipos de benefícios, dentre os mais citados foram: Identificação/Reconhecimento, Fortalecimento (solidez, estabilidade, profissionalismo), Novos Clientes, Imagem, Receptividade, Agregação de Valor para a Marca e Diferenciação.

La mise au point de descripteurs locaux discriminants est aujourd’hui une priorité dans de nombreuses applications comme la reconnaissance d’objets, le suivi d’objets, la reconstruction 3D ou l’estimation de mouvement. La problématique réside dans le fait que ces descripteurs doivent être invariants aux conditions d’acquisition tout en conservant un pouvoir discriminant important. Dans ce contexte, nous nous sommes intéressés à l’invariance des descripteurs locaux de la littérature. Nous les avons notamment catégorisés en fonction des hypothèses sur lesquelles repose leur invariance. Ensuite, nous avons proposé des descripteurs locaux qui exploitent l’information de couleur dans les images. Nous avons montré que cette information peut être très pertinente lorsqu’elle est combinée à une information spatiale, à condition que son degré d’invariance soit contrôlé et adapté aux applications considérées. Ainsi, nous avons proposé un ensemble de descripteurs locaux couleur avec des degrés d’invariance différents. Ainsi, nous introduisons tout d’abord deux nouveaux descripteurs qui caractérisent les distributions spatiales des couleurs dans les régions analysées. L’idée originale consiste à appliquer des transformations affines entre les coordonnées spatiales des pixels et leurs coordonnées couleur. En effet, chaque pixel étant caractérisé par 5 valeurs, 2 coordonnées spatiales xy dans l’image et 3 composantes couleur RVB, nous proposons de rechercher une transformation affine qui permet de transformer les coordonnées xy de tous les pixels de la région concernée en coordonnées RVB de ces pixels. Nous montrons que l’application de cette transformation aux coordonnées xy fournit des coordonnées dans l’espace RVB qui a un double avantage. D’une part, les coordonnées d’un seul pixel dépendent à la fois de toutes les couleurs présentes dans la région mais aussi de leur répartition spatiale. Quelques coordonnées permettent donc de résumer efficacement le contenu de la région. D’autre part, ces coordonnées présente une invariance totale à toute transformation affine appliquée dans l’espace image 2D(invariance géométrique) et comme elles sont homogènes à des coordonnées couleur, nous pouvons leur procurer une invariance photométrique en leur appliquant des transformations affines particulières. Nous montrons que le degré d’invariance peut être contrôlé en fonction des besoins de l’application. Ces coordonnées nous permettent de définir le descripteur IVC (Image Vers Couleur). De manière similaire, nous évaluons une transformation affine de l’espace couleur à l’espace image et appliquons cette transformation aux coordonnées couleur. Les coordonnées obtenues par cette transformation sont invariantes à toute transformation affine appliquée dans l’espace couleur, elles présentent donc un degré d’invariance élevé aux variations photométriques. Ces coordonnées nous permettent de constituer le descripteur CVI (Couleur Vers Image). Nous montrons que ces deux descripteurs fournissent de très bons résultats dans le cadre de la reconnaissance d’objet et présentent une telle complémentarité que le descripteur obtenu par concaténation de IVC et CVI fournit de meilleurs résultats que la plupart des descripteurs couleur parus dans la littérature. Ensuite, nous proposons un descripteur qui présente un degré d’invariance plus élevé que les deux précédents puisqu’il n’est pas sensible aux transformations non-linéaires des couleurs modélisées par des fonctions croissantes appliquées indépendamment sur chaque composante couleur. Pour cela, nous exploitons les mesures de rang des pixels dans les images. De plus, nous utilisons les corrélations entre mesures de rang obtenues pour différentes composantes couleur. Ceci nous a permis de proposer un descripteur lui aussi très compact qui présente un degré d’invariance photométrique assez élevé. Enfin, nous abordons le problème de la caractérisation locale d’images par auto-similarités / Pas de résumé fourni en anglais

Now a day, one of the most attractive research topics in the area of Intelligent Traffic Control is Inter-vehicle communication (V2V communication). In V2V communication, a vehicle can communicate to its neighbouring vehicles even in the absence of a central Base Station. The concept of this direct communication is to send vehicle safety messages one-to-one or one-to- many vehicles via wireless connection. Such messages are usually short in length and have very short lifetime in which they must reach the destination. The Inter-vehicle communication system is an ad-hoc network with high mobility and changing number of nodes, where mobile nodes dynamically create temporary sensor networks and transferring messages from one network to others by using multiple hops due to limitation of short range. The goal of the project is to investigate some basic research questions in order to organize such sensor networks and at the same time highlight the appropriate routing protocol that support mobile ad hoc networks in an efficient and reliable manner. In our investigation, we have answered the technical issues in order to construct a V2V communication system. We have also studied some mobile ad hoc network routing protocols in detail and then selected the DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) for our V2V communication and then simulated it according to our system requirements. We are quite satisfied by the result of DSR, but at the same time much more work is required to come up with an absolute application for the end user.

Introduction: Inferior vena cava (IVC) malformations are extremely rare. Their impact with additional risk factors has not been well studied. Here, we present a case of a young female with absent IVC. She presented with an extensive left lower extremity (LLE) deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after starting oral contraceptives. Case: A 21-year-old female with no past medical history presented with progressively worsening back pain and LLE edema. Her only medication was combined oral contraceptive (OCP) which was started 4 months ago. Physical exam was significant for blue discoloration of her LLE extending from foot to thigh. The ultrasound showed multiple thrombi within the left common and deep femoral veins, left popliteal vein and left peroneal vein. The abdominal computerized tomography revealed the absence of an infrarenal IVC with collateral azygous, hemiazygous and prominent left gonadal veins. Occlusion by the thrombi extended from the left femoral vein to the left iliac vein. Some extension was noted into the right common iliac vein. She was treated with a catheter directed tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) infusion into the left iliac vein followed by continuous heparin infusion. Hypercoagulable testing was negative. While on heparin, she developed asymptomatic gross hematuria. CT urogram showed a significant dilation of the left gonadal vein, a large vein along the left psoas muscle draining into the left renal vein, and a mild enlargement of right gonadal vein. The urine analysis was negative for bacterial infection; but it contained a numerous amount of red blood cells and protein. Once the hematuria had resolved, she was discharged on apixaban. Her OCP was discontinued. Discussion: There have been several case reports describing IVC abnormalities associated with DVT. In our case, DVT was likely provoked by usage of OCP. Current guidelines would require provoked DVTs to be treat for at least 3-12 months with anticoagulation therapy. Case reports of IVC malformations illustrated that these patients are at high risk for DVT at baseline. Hence the underlying abnormality still poses a lifetime risk. Also, with abnormal venous vasculature, gross hematuria, proteinuria and the lack of other causes, we suspect underlying Nutcracker syndrome (NS). Her pelvic abdominal pain can also be attributed to pelvic congestion syndrome, which is commonly associated with NS. Conclusion: There are several questions that arise from this case including: selecting a type of contraceptive method; safety of direct thrombin inhibitors in patients with NS; indefinite direct thrombin inhibitors in young patients. Unfortunately, due to the rarity of this condition, no set guidelines are available on how to manage these individuals.

Ballast som byggnadsmaterial är viktigt för att utveckla vårt samhälle då det bland annat används som beståndsdel i asfalt och betong. Det är därför viktigt att bergkross som bryts i bergtäkter har en fungerande produktion för att möta efterfrågan men också för att Sverige ska kunna nå målet att vara klimatneutralt 2045. Syftet med arbetet är att minska miljöpåverkan i en bergtäkt från de interna transporterna och målet är att ta fram åtgärder för att uppnå detta. De metoder som har använts är litteraturstudier, beräkningar, simuleringar och intervjuer. Genom beräkningarna kunde ett resultat i detta arbete visa att en reducering med 88 % av koldioxidutsläpp kan göras genom att använda biodrivmedlet HVO Diesel 100. Det har med hjälp av intervjuer och litteraturstudier dessutom dragits en slutsats att framtidens bergtäkter antas producera bergkross med elektriska autonoma maskiner. / Ballast as a building material is important for developing our society as it’s used as a component in asphalt and concrete. Hence it is important that crushed rock extracted from a quarry have a functioning production to meet the demand that exists, but also because Sweden should be able to reach the goal of being climate neutral 2045. The purpose of this study is to reduce the environmental impact in a quarry from the internal transports and the aim is to bring out suggestions to achieve this. The methods that have been used are literature studies, calculations, simulations and interviews. Through the calculations, a result in this work showed that a reduction of 88 % of carbon dioxide emissions can be made by using the biofuel HVO Diesel 100. In addition, with the help of interviews and literature studies, conclusions have been drawn that the future quarries are believed to produce crushed rock with electric autonomous machines.
