International audience; Since modern transport services are becoming more flexible, demand-responsive, and energy/cost efficient, there is a growing demand for large-scale microscopic simulation platforms in order to test sophisticated routing algorithms. Such platforms have to simulate in detail, not only the dynamically changing demand and supply of the relevant service, but also traffic flow and other relevant transport services. This paper presents the DVRP extension to the open-source MATSim simulator. The extension is designed to be highly general and customizable to simulate a wide range of dynamic rich vehicle routing problems. The extension allows plugging in of various algorithms that are responsible for continuous re-optimisation of routes in response to changes in the system. The DVRP extension has been used in many research and commercial projects dealing with simulation of electric and autonomous taxis, demand-responsive transport, personal rapid transport, free-floating car sharing and parking search.

Cet article cherche à reconstituer le rôle important joué par l'apothicaire dans la pratique médicale au cours de l'époque moderne. En prenant appui sur une étude de cas portant sur Genève, il explore les rapports des apothicaires avec le savoir, le rôle qu'ils jouent dans le le commerce, dans l'organisation de la consommation de remèdes et leur rôle plus ou moins actif dans la prise en charge des soins. La trame qui émerge est celle d'un entrepreneur polyvalent, un artisan très actif dans les soins et la prise en charge des malades qui, au gré du temps, se spécialise davantage dans la science chimique et pharmaceutique qui se développe tout en se concentrant sur sa boutique.

The social design approach presented in this chapter was developed to ensure that the new smart living lab building includes not only sus- tainable environmental and economic aspects, but also social aspects. By better understand- ing the preferences and attitudes of its future occupants and the three founding institutions, the team will be able to successfully incorpo- rate the former in the design process.

Il s'agit ici de questionner l'histoire des migrations politiques en Suisse et d'en caractériser les différentes mobilités qu'elles revêtent. L'enjeu est aussi de faire un point d'historiographie sur l'évolution de la recherche dans ce domaine

The corpus-based analysis of legal discursive features is key for research on legal translation, as well as other related fields, such as comparative legal linguistics, legal lexicography and legal linguistics. This chapter addresses methodological considerations relevant to the selection of tools to analyse legal discourses for legal translation research purposes. The results of a comparative analysis of currently available fourth-generation concordancers – CPQweb, Sketch Engine, and ParaVoz – are presented with a view to verifying their suitability for a specific research project, according to the project's context of use. These tools are tested in accordance with the relevant guidelines and norms designed for software evaluation.

Desire has not been at the center of recent preoccupations in the philosophy of mind. Consequently, the literature settled into several dogmas. The first part of this introduction presents these dogmas and invites readers to scrutinize them. The main dogma is that desires are motivational states. This approach contrasts with the other dominant conception: desires are positive evaluations. But there are at least four other dogmas: the world should conform to our desires (world-to-mind direction of fit), desires involve a positive evaluation (the “guise of the good”), we cannot desire what we think is actual (the “death of desire” principle), and, in neuroscience, the idea that the reward system is the key to understanding desire. The second part of the introduction summarizes the contributions to this volume. The hope is to contribute to the emergence of a fruitful debate on this neglected, albeit crucial, aspect of the mind.
