This thesis focuses on a specific digital company, Emakina, taken as benchmark for a market development strategy in the European market. On one side there is the ambition of the company to be the Top European digital communication agency; on the other side, there is the justification, with theoretical models, of the feasibility of this strategic decision. The document, in the introduction chapter, gives an overview of the European digital market with key takeaways and facts. Always in the first section, Emakina is introduced explaining what they do and which are the main services they offer, then it will be explained RECMA and its ranking criteria to better understand how RECMA works and to define which indicators will be improved. In the exposition section, the document focuses its attention on the mission Emakina wants to accomplish: be in the first position of the RECMA ranking in the “independent digital communication agencies in Europe” category; in the last report, in 2011, it was in position number three. As a result, it will be applied a market development strategy to expand the geo-coverage of the company. The chosen countries for the expansion are Germany and UK. It will be assessed the attractiveness of the markets and the competitiveness of the company thanks to the use of some theoretical models, having always a look on what and how the direct competitors of the ranking are acting. Finally, in the last section, are given recommendations to the company to solve the problem in question.

Many elements affect today the electricity and gas market (liberalization, numerous competitors, important environmental issues, etc.). If a supplier wants to stand out from the competition, it can no longer sell only these two products. This project-thesis was realized inside the company Lampiris, recently bought by the French group Total. The study is about the diversification of new products and services for the B2B segment. The company targets the second place in the energy supply market. To reach this goal, the new products and services must fulfill four objectives: acquisition of new customers, retention of existing customers, new added-value per customer and new revenue for the B2B department. First, an attractiveness analysis has been made to identify the opportunity and threats of the sector (PESTEL analysis, Porter 5 forces, a benchmark and a market study through interviews with sales). Secondly, a competitiveness analysis has been realized to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the company with among others a review of its strategy and current products and services situation. These two analyses helped to define recommendations for Lampiris regarding its diversification policy and especially the adaptation of its boiler service for the B2B segment. These recommendations were made in line with the strategic framework and the points previously highlighted.

Based on a series of conversations and a return to literary sources, this book studies the current forms taken by "love at first sight". It sets out the phenomenon's manifestations and the languages which express it as well as the multiple signs which reveal it. It shows that the irruption of love is still desired intensely. (PUF)

Love often seems uncontrollable and irrational, but we just as frequently appear to have reasons for loving the people we do. In Love's Vision, Troy Jollimore offers a new way of understanding love that accommodates both of these facts, arguing that love is guided by reason even as it resists and sometimes eludes rationality. At the same time, he reconsiders love's moral status, acknowledging its moral dangers while arguing that it is, at heart, a moral phenomenon--an emotion that demands empathy and calls us away from excessive self-concern. Love is revealed as neither wholly moral nor deeply immoral, neither purely rational nor profoundly irrational. Rather, as Diotima says in Plato's Symposium, love is "something in between." Jollimore makes his case by proposing a "vision" view of love, according to which loving is a way of seeing that involves bestowing charitable attention on a loved one. This view recognizes the truth in the cliché "love is blind," but holds that love's blindness does not undermine the idea that love is guided by reason. Reasons play an important role in love even if they rest on facts that are not themselves rationally justifiable. Filled with illuminating examples from literature, Love's Vision is an original examination of a subject of vital philosophical and human concern.

The Belgian loess belt and its watersheds are particularly affected by runoff and erosion [Bielders et al., 2003], causing significant damages [Dogot et al., 2019]. Specialists are reflecting on watershed management which, in addition to combating these disturbing phenomena, promotes a wealth of ecosystem services (ES). The objective of this work is to evaluate the ecosystem services of different existing developments in the fight against runoff and soil erosion in an agricultural catchment in the Belgian Loessic belt. Based on the work of [Cantreul, 2020], nine management scenarios of the experimental watershed of Chastre, in addition to the initial scenario, are used to evaluate the services of pollination, carbon storage, agricultural production, landscape attractiveness and erosion prevention. These scenarios are established by specialists on the basis of grassed strips and channels, wooded strips, hedges, fascines and changes in the direction and intensity of tillage. The ES of pollination, carbon storage and erosion prevention are assessed using InVEST models. A methodology based on the loss of utilised agricultural area (SAU) is developed for the agricultural production service and a survey-based methodology is used for landscape attractiveness. The results obtained are rich and varied. The scenarios with the best results for pollination, carbon storage, landscape attractiveness and erosion prevention are also the most expensive to implement and they have the greatest impacts on SAU. The choice of an ideal management scenario must take into account the trade-offs between ES and the synergies between them.

Nose reconstructions have been common in India for centuries. South Korea, Brazil, and Israel have become international centers for procedures ranging from eyelid restructuring to buttock lifts and tummy tucks. Argentina has the highest rate of silicone implants in the world. Around the globe, aesthetic surgery has become a cultural and medical fixture. Sander Gilman seeks to explain why by presenting the first systematic world history and cultural theory of aesthetic surgery. Touching on subjects as diverse as getting a "nose job" as a sweet-sixteen birthday present and the removal of male breasts in seventh-century Alexandria, Gilman argues that aesthetic surgery has such universal appeal because it helps people to "pass," to be seen as a member of a group with which they want to or need to identify. Gilman begins by addressing basic questions about the history of aesthetic surgery. What surgical procedures have been performed? Which are considered aesthetic and why? Who are the patients? What is the place of aesthetic surgery in modern culture? He then turns his attention to that focus of countless human anxieties: the nose. Gilman discusses how people have reshaped their noses to repair the ravages of war and disease (principally syphilis), to match prevailing ideas of beauty, and to avoid association with negative images of the "Jew," the "Irish," the "Oriental," or the "Black." He examines how we have used aesthetic surgery on almost every conceivable part of the body to try to pass as younger, stronger, thinner, and more erotic. Gilman also explores some of the extremes of surgery as personal transformation, discussing transgender surgery, adult circumcision and foreskin restoration, the enhancement of dueling scars, and even a performance artist who had herself altered to resemble the Mona Lisa. The book draws on an extraordinary range of sources. Gilman is as comfortable discussing Nietzsche, Yeats, and Darwin as he is grisly medical details, Michael Jackson, and Barbra Streisand's decision to keep her own nose. The book contains dozens of arresting images of people before, during, and after surgery. This is a profound, provocative, and engaging study of how humans have sought to change their lives by transforming their bodies.
