Large scale simulation of pressure induced phase-field fracture propagation using Utopia

Zulian, Patrick ; Kopaničáková, Alena ; Nestola, Maria Giuseppina Chiara ; Fink, Andreas ; Fadel, Nur Aiman ; VandeVondele, Joost ; Krause, Rolf

In: CCF transactions on high performance computing, 2021, no. 3, p. 407–426

Non-linear phase field models are increasingly used for the simulation of fracture propagation problems. The numerical simulation of fracture networks of realistic size requires the efficient parallel solution of large coupled non-linear systems. Although in principle efficient iterative multi-level methods for these types of problems are available, they are not widely used in practice due to...

Writing in finance : improving the communicative potential of financial analysts' recommendations

Whitehouse, Marlies ; Rocci, Andrea (Dir.) ; Perrin, Daniel (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2022 ; 2022COM001.

This doctoral thesis identifies and analyses problems of text production in finance from three complementary perspectives and explains why solving these problems benefits theory, practice, and society at large. Part I, Problem Identification, outlines the current situation of writing in finance, its problems and their consequences on the financial community and on society at large, entailing...

Without a plan? : an ethnography of architecture, domestic microclimates, and building practices in contemporary Cairo

Ghodbane, Dalila ; Roesler, Sascha (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2021ARC002.

This study is located at the intersection of architecture and the social sciences. Its core is an ethnographic investigation of how Cairo experiences and tackles urban heatwaves, which was carried out primarily by looking at people’s building practices. The research is structured along three axes. The first consists of a historical overview of the Egyptian architectural field, based on a...

Reframing as an argumentative competence in dispute mediation

Jermini-Martinez Soria, Chiara ; Greco, Sara (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2021 ; 2021COM005.

Dispute mediation is a dialogical and communicative process in which a neutral third party, a mediator, helps conflicting parties modifying the way in which they interact with each other so that they become able to co-construct a solution to their conflict that is mutually satisfactory. Mediators cannot impose solutions to the parties, yet they play a fundamental role in conflict resolutions...

Multilevel minimization in trust-region framework : algorithmic and software developments

Kopaničáková, Alena ; Krause, Rolf (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO021.

The field of scientific computing is associated with the modeling of complex physical phenomena. The resulting numerical models are often described by differential equations, which, in many cases, can be related to non-convex minimization problems. Thus, after discretization, the solution of large-scale non-convex optimization problem is required. Various iterative solution strategies can be...

Multi-generational teams : the appropriate leadership style to achieve positive team dynamics : Which leadership style should leaders of multi-generational teams adopt to achieve positive team dynamics in medium-sized to big multinationals located in Geneva ?

Chikono, Charlene ; Walden, Dana (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2020 ; TDIBM 73.

Over the course of many decades, the level of importance attributed to generational dif-ferences has considerably increased. In recent years, the topic of generations has been the focus of numerous academic papers, books, articles, and blogs. Companies are faced with the pressure of how they acknowledge such age differences in the makeup of the workforce as part of the Diversity and Inclusion...

How to optimize the Talent Acquisition Strategy and Recruitment Process in Swiss startups and young ventures to build a winning team ?

Krenzi, Laurent ; Hafil, Ansar (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2020 ; TDIBM 86.

Recruiting has been shown to be a very important factor of a company’s development and success, it also been highlighted to be a key source of competitive power and key component to build a winning team. Researches state that many young ventures have difficulty to recruit properly. Following a combination of weak recruitment capabilities with limited access to the right talents, the...

Intermediality and the discursive construction of popular music genres: the case of ‘Japanese City Pop’

Sommet, Moritz

In: Handai ongaku gakuhō / Journal of Handai Music Studies, 2020/16/17//15-42

Commonly said to embody the 'urbane' and 'refined' lifestyle of metropolitan Tokyo and to prefigure the transnational and consumerist characteristics of today's mainstream J-Pop, Japanese City Pop has undergone several recontextualizations since it first surfaced in the last quarter of the 20th century. I use City Pop as an example to interrogate the intermedial qualities of the processes at...

La Communauté Discursive de Pratiques : un dispositif de conception coopérative de ressources didactiques orienté par la recherche

Marlot, Corinne ; Roy, Patrick

In: Formation et pratiques d'enseignement en question, 2020, no. 26, p. 163-184

Ce texte poursuit un double objectif : développer les assises conceptuelles et méthodologiques du concept de Communauté Discursive de Pratiques (CDP) et modéliser, sur la base d’un exemple de mise en œuvre, le fonctionnement caractéristique de ce dispositif de recherche participative réunissant enseignants et chercheurs autour de problèmes d’enseignement-apprentissage en sciences au...
