InsomnieL'insomnie définit le plus souvent des problèmes de sommeil chez un individu. Ce terme est créé au sur la base du latin insomnia (du latin somniculus, « état de celui qui dort ») et signifie stricto sensu la privation de sommeil. Dans l'acception commune et courante, l'insomnie est la diminution de la durée habituelle du sommeil et/ou l'atteinte de la qualité du sommeil avec répercussion sur la qualité de la veille du lendemain.
DaylightingDaylighting is the practice of placing windows, skylights, other openings, and reflective surfaces so that direct or indirect sunlight can provide effective internal lighting. Particular attention is given to daylighting while designing a building when the aim is to maximize visual comfort or to reduce energy use. Energy savings can be achieved from the reduced use of artificial (electric) lighting or from passive solar heating.
Familial sleep traitsFamilial sleep traits are heritable variations in sleep patterns, resulting in abnormal sleep-wake times and/or abnormal sleep length. Circadian rhythms are coordinated physiological and biological changes that oscillate on an approximately 24-hour cycle. Disruptions to these rhythms in humans may affect the duration, onset, and/or quality of sleep during this cycle, resulting in familial sleep traits. These traits are not necessarily syndromes because they do not always cause distress among individuals.
Architectural lighting designArchitectural lighting design is a field of work or study that is concerned with the design of lighting systems within the built environment, both interior and exterior. It can include manipulation and design of both daylight and electric light or both, to serve human needs. Lighting design is based in both science and the visual arts. The basic aim of lighting within the built environment is to enable occupants to see clearly and without discomfort.
Idiopathic hypersomniaIdiopathic hypersomnia (IH) is a neurological disorder which is characterized primarily by excessive sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). The condition typically becomes evident in early adulthood and most patients diagnosed with IH will have had the disorder for many years prior to their diagnosis. , an FDA-approved medication exists for IH called Xywav, which is oral solution of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium oxybates; in addition to several off-label treatments (primarily FDA-approved narcolepsy medications).
Stage lightingStage lighting is the craft of lighting as it applies to the production of theater, dance, opera, and other performance arts. Several different types of stage lighting instruments are used in this discipline. In addition to basic lighting, modern stage lighting can also include special effects, such as lasers and fog machines. People who work on stage lighting are commonly referred to as lighting technicians or lighting designers. The equipment used for stage lighting (e.g.
Harcèlement moral en milieu professionnelLe harcèlement moral au travail est une action persistante de mauvais traitements infligés à certaines personnes sur le lieu de travail par d'autres individus. Les moyens employés comprennent la violence verbale, non verbale, psychologique et physique, ainsi que l'humiliation. Ce type d'agression au travail est particulièrement difficile car les harceleurs au travail agissent souvent dans le cadre des règles et des politiques établies par leur organisation ou leur société, qui dans la majorité des cas est du fait d'une personne qui a autorité sur la victime.
Landscape lightingLandscape lighting or garden lighting refers to the use of outdoor illumination of private gardens and public landscapes; for the enhancement and purposes of safety, nighttime aesthetics, accessibility, security, recreation and sports, and social and event uses. Light pollution exacerbated by excessive, misdirected or obtrusive use of light, but even carefully used light fundamentally alters natural conditions. As a major side-effect of urbanization, it is blamed for compromising health, disrupting ecosystems and spoiling aesthetic environments.
Workplace violenceWorkplace violence (WPV), violence in the workplace (VIW), or occupational violence refers to violence, usually in the form of physical abuse or threat, that creates a risk to the health and safety of an employee or multiple employees. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health defines worker on worker, personal relationship, customer/client, and criminal intent all as categories of violence in the workplace.
Lighting control systemA lighting control system incorporates communication between various system inputs and outputs related to lighting control with the use of one or more central computing devices. Lighting control systems are widely used on both indoor and outdoor lighting of commercial, industrial, and residential spaces. Lighting control systems are sometimes referred to under the term smart lighting. Lighting control systems serve to provide the right amount of light where and when it is needed.
Éclairement lumineuxL’éclairement lumineux est la grandeur définie par la photométrie correspondant à la sensation humaine sur la manière dont une surface est éclairée. Pour qu'un objet qui ne produit pas de lumière par lui-même soit visible, il faut qu'il reçoive de la lumière. Plus il en reçoit, plus il est clair, et visible distinctement. La photométrie définit rigoureusement la lumière reçue, afin de pouvoir calculer cette grandeur, connaissant l'intensité lumineuse des sources de lumière, leur distance et leur direction.
Optimizing compilerIn computing, an optimizing compiler is a compiler that tries to minimize or maximize some attributes of an executable computer program. Common requirements are to minimize a program's execution time, memory footprint, storage size, and power consumption (the last three being popular for portable computers). Compiler optimization is generally implemented using a sequence of optimizing transformations, algorithms which take a program and transform it to produce a semantically equivalent output program that uses fewer resources or executes faster.
