Life Cycle Investing and Occupational Old-Age Provision in Switzerland
Florian Zainhofer uses the theory of life cycle investing, i.e. how we should optimally choose our savings rate and risky asset share throughout our lives, as a framework to study the implications of a potential BVG individualization. Following an introduction on the Swiss system of old-age provision, the author reviews recent life cycle models of portfolio choice and covers their numerical solution algorithms in depth. He presents an empirical analysis of Swiss workers’ earnings dynamics since these are important determinants of life cycle investment behavior. To further investigate the implications of a flexible contribution rate and risky asset share in the mandatory BVG, the author proposes a model adapted to Swiss conditions and parameterized with the estimated earnings dynamics.
Lie Algebras and Algebraic Groups

Les infections urinaires = Urinary tract infections
Les Infections urinaires provides an update on knowledge concerning the epidemiology of community-based infection, on the mechanisms of bacterial resistance and on certain aspects of the disease useful to urologists as well as infectious diseases, gynecologists, emergency physicians and attending physicians. . Nosocomial urinary tract infection is approached from the perspective of risk factors. Acute and chronic prostatitis was the subject of a consensus conference supported by the World Health Organization within the framework of the International Consensus Conferences in Urology in Paris. The full text and the recommendations are reported with the consent of their authors. This book is an author's book and not an author's book because urinary tract infection is multiple, complex and justifies a multidisciplinary approach.
Lectures on Quantum Mechanics
Presents theoretical physics with a breathtaking array of examples and anecdotes. Basdevant's style is clear and stimulating, in the manner of a brisk classroom lecture that students can follow with ease and enjoyment.
Le raisonnement bayésien : Modélisation et inférence = Bayesian reasoning : Modeling and inference
Describes in detail the practice of the Bayesian statistical approach using many examples chosen for their educational interest. The first part gives the general principles of statistical modeling making it possible to supervise but also to come to the aid of the imagination of the apprentice modeler. By examining examples of increasing difficulty, the reader forges the keys to building their own model. The second part presents the most useful calculation algorithms for estimating the unknowns of the model. Each inference method is presented and illustrated by numerous application cases.
Le Distilbène trente ans après : Les enfants des 2èmes et 3èmes générations = Distilbene thirty years later : The children of the 2nd and 3rd generations
The various consequences on the anatomy and physiology of the female genitalia, as well as male, of children exposed in utero are reviewed. The impact on girls is greater than on boys: modification of the uterine cervix, reduction in the volume of the uterus with its consequences on fertility and the progress of pregnancies, risk of cancer of the vagina and the cervix. . The potential repercussions on the third generation are analyzed from experimental studies. Finally, the medico-legal implication is studied from the various trials that took place in the United States and from the first French trial that took place in Nanterre in November 2003. This work is the result of the collaboration of several experts recognized for their competence in this field. It will be of interest to all obstetrician gynecologists, urologists, but also public health physicians and midwives.

Landslide Risk Assessment ; 2nd ed.
Provides guidance to practitioners on establishing the likelihood and extent to which future slope failures could adversely impact society and affect people and property. The only book to focus on risk and landslides, using examples from across the globe, Landslide Risk Assessment examines a variety of approaches to landslide risk assessment and management, introducing the key challenges that practitioners will need to overcome: estimating the probability and consequences of landsliding, combining these to develop a measure of the risk, and making the transition between risk assessment and risk management.
Landslide risk assessment
Over the past decade there has been a gradual shift away from simply relying on engineering solutions to individual landslide problems, to the use of a variety of strategies to manage the problems over a broad area. Such alternative strategies include the use of building codes, land use planning controls, preventing water leakage, early warning systems and insurance schemes. This book addresses these developments and provides a multidisciplinary perspective on landslide management.
Knowledge, practices, and awareness of safety risks associated with antiemetic use: A cross-sectional study
Highlighted a high prevalence of self-medication, with most participants keeping these drugs at home due to their accessibility and low cost. A strong correlation was observed between educational level and awareness; individuals with higher education were more likely to seek professional advice and carefully read drug leaflets. Conversely, lower educational groups and younger participants showed a greater tendency to repeat doses without consultation or rely on home remedies.
Knowledge Networks for Business Growth
Companies are constantly searching for new ways of creating higher profit and a larger market share. Growth seems to be the most appropriate tactic for surviving economically in difficult times. New instruments and methods as a support to a company’s growth strategy can be essential in gaining a competitive advantage. Knowledge management is one of the answers to this challenge. It can support strategic goals such as the improvement of efficiency, the minimization of risk and an increase in innovation, but also has inherent potentials which have not been leveraged yet.
