La Unión Europea ha propuesto un nuevo paquete de sanciones contra Rusia que incluye un embargo al petróleo. El embargo prohibiría la importación de petróleo ruso a la UE y también prohibiría a los buques europeos transportar petróleo ruso a otros lugares. Sin embargo, Hungría se opone al embargo al petróleo, lo que podría retrasar la aprobación del paquete de sanciones de la UE.
The title sequence of Skyfall begins with the song "Skyfall" by Adele playing as Bond is pulled underwater, setting a suspenseful tone. Over the next 2 minutes, the production title, leading actor name, and movie title are displayed with a dark, shadowy background. Images of blood, weapons, and danger further establish the action/thriller genre. The changing scenery provides glimpses into the film's locations and plot. More important cast members like producers and directors are shown at the end in standout fonts and positions before the film begins.
The title sequence of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol begins 9 minutes and 38 seconds into the film. Over the course of 1 minute and 51 seconds, the sequence uses an animation of a burning fuse to reveal titles against the backdrop of clips from the movie. These titles include the production company after 6 seconds, Tom Cruise's name as producer at 9 seconds and as the lead actor at 17 seconds. The movie title is shown 21 seconds in. Throughout the sequence, viewers are given glimpses of the film's action-thriller genre, locations, and plot points to set expectations before the movie begins.
The video analyzes three metal music videos:
1) "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath is a live performance with green screen backgrounds. Shots focus on each band member and their instruments.
2) "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Iron Maiden also shows a live performance with rapidly changing camera shots of the band and audience.
3) "Death of a King" by Amorphis is not a live performance. Shots rapidly change between close-ups of the band members and fire is frequently shown in the background.
The document describes and compares the website layouts and features of several metal bands. It notes that the Iron Maiden website allows fans to create accounts for access to exclusive information like early tour dates and ticket pre-sales. Black Sabbath's website uses animations and hidden links not prominently displayed. The Metallica website provides news, tour information and links to their social media pages and fan club.
Raphael Albrecht discusses CVA (credit valuation adjustment) and FVA (funding valuation adjustment) from a model validation perspective. He provides an overview of the economics behind CVA and FVA, describing them as contracts between a trading desk and a CVA trading desk to insure against counterparty default risk and fund exposure. He outlines cash flows under various scenarios such as trade initiation, counterparty default, and bank default. Finally, he describes how FVA can be split into a funding benefit adjustment and funding cost adjustment, and how these relate to DVA (debit valuation adjustment). The presentation aims to identify model assumptions and limitations for CVA and FVA from a validation standpoint.
Mémoire de recherche : Les principaux apports des applications mobiles pour l...Clément Bouchet
Résumé :
Ce travail a pour objectif de recherche de mettre en avant les principaux apports des applications mobiles pour les marques. En fonction de nos nombreuses lectures dans ce domaine, nous avons fait le choix d’orienter notre recherche sur deux notions souvent abordés par les professionnels du marketing : l’image de marque et le processus d’achat.
La première partie de ce mémoire permet d’exposer l’ensemble des connaissances sur les applications mobiles et ces deux notions, en insistant particulièrement leurs différentes composantes et études déjà réalisées à ce jour. Nous verrons notamment que le canal mobile est le canal qui a le plus fort potentiel à créer de la relation client, puis que les applications mobiles de marque sont aujourd’hui perçues comme porteur des attributs de modernité et tendance par les consommateurs.
La seconde partie de cette étude est basée sur la réalisation d’une étude empirique. Après avoir réalisé 15 entretiens auprès d’utilisateurs de smartphones âgés entre 19 et 33 ans, nous ainsi pu étudier les composantes des applications mobiles et leurs effets sur l’image de marque et le processus d’achat. Cette étude nous permettra ainsi de comprendre si les applications mobiles peuvent aujourd’hui contribuer au développement des marques.

Abstract:
This work aims to research the main benefits of mobile applications for brands. Based on our reading in this domain, we have chosen to focus our research about two concepts, often discussed by marketers: the brand image and the buying process.
The first part of this research is an overview about knowledge’s mobile application, brand image and buying process. We will see that the mobile channel is the channel that has the greatest potential to create customer relationship, and then branded- mobile applications diffuse modern values in the minds of consumers.
The second part of this study is based on the achievement of an empirical study. After conducting 15 interviews with 15 smartphones users aged between 19 and 33 years, we have been able to study the components of mobile applications and their effects on the two concepts: brand image and purchase process. This study will allow us to understand whether the mobile applications can now contribute to brands developments.

hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
