Published: January 2025

In the daily diet, bread is an excellent carrier of nutrients to replenish the human body. In this di-rection, as an additive, persimmon syrup (PS) can be indispensable for the production of a wide range of bakery products. One of the factors limiting the widespread use of cholesterol in baking production is the insufficient knowledge of its mineral value, the nature and proportion of changes in their content in the technological process. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to analyze the mineral value of wheat flour Azamatli-95 (A95-WF), persimmon syrup (PS) from the Hiakume variety and bread with the addition of PS and to establish the nature and proportion of changes in their content in the technological process.Therefore, the purpose of the study is to analyze the mineral composition of wheat flour A95-WF of the first grade, PS, and bread with the addition of PS. It was found that with the addition of 5, 10 and 15 % PS to A95-WF in bread samples, the content in g/100 g significantly increases: potassium (43.44±21.72), magnesium (38.5±19.25), phosphorus (31.7±14.34); in µg/100 g: iron (137.51±68.76) and zinc (82.65±41.33) and the con-tent in g/100 g slightly increases: calcium (6.0±3.0), sodium (1.58±0.4), sulfur (8.32±4.16); in µg/100 g: iodine (0.48±0.24), cobalt (0.76±0.38) with deviation from the best bread with the addi-tion of 10 % PS to A95-WF. The resulting regression equations (АЕ<7 %) make it possible to pre-dict and establish a relationship between the shares of changes in significantly changing minerals in the technological process and the increase in their content in bread.

Published: January 2025

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disease that causes pain, swelling, and disability, severely affecting up to 50% of patients' quality of life.
Objective: To find out the association between disease severity of Rheumatoid Arthritis and QOL among patients.
Methods: The present study was conducted at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore from January to March 2024  A total of 120 patients with RA were enrolled by convenient sampling technique in this descriptive cross-sectional study. All patients with age >18 years, all genders and no mental illness or disturbance of consciousness were included.  Pregnant females, and patients with severe co morbidities such as cancer or end stage organ failure were excluded. Demographic details, presenting symptom, disease severity assessed by Disease activity score-28 (DASS-28) and Quality of Life were recorded using a pre-designed proforma. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS V24.0 software. The association between QOL and pain with disease severity was compared by using chi-square test. P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered as significant.
Results: The association between quality of life (QOL), pain levels, and disease activity was significant(P-value<0.05); 90.0% of participants with high disease activity reported poor QOL, and severe pain was more prevalent (64.6%) in this group compared to those with low disease activity (33.3%).
Conclusion: The study revealed a significant association between disease severity, pain, and overall patient quality of life. These findings indicate that higher disease activity correlates with increased pain severity and a diminished quality of life among participants.
Matumizi ya Filamu Katika Kufunzia Sarufi ya Kiswahili Nchini Kenya

Published: January 2025

Makala haya yananuia kuchunguza uwezekano wa kutumikiza filamu ili kuimarisha utendaji wa sarufi katika lugha ya Kiswahili. Ni wajibu wa mwalimu kuteua matumizi ya nyenzo inayomwezesha kuibua mazingira halisi ya kufunzia sarufi darasani. Hata hivyo licha ya wanafunzi katika jimbo la Nyeri kutumia lugha ya Kiswahili katika shughuli zao za kila siku matokeo ya mtihani katika somo la Kiswahili hasa katika mtihani wa KCSE yalikuwa dhaifu mnamo katika mwaka wa 2019. Hii ndiyo sababu iliyomchochea mtafiti wa kazi hii kuchunguza matumizi ya filamu na athiri zake kwa utendaji wa wanafunzi katika lugha ya Kiswahili katika shule za upili. Wanafunzi katika shule za upili hawajakuwa wakifanya vyema katika karatasi ya Sarufi. Kulingana na wataalamu filamu imekuwa ikitumikizwa katika kufunzia lugha ya Kingereza huko Umarekani na Uingereza na pia somo la Hisabati katika Afrika Kusini ambapo iliripotiwa kwamba wanafunzi waliotumikiza filamu walifanya vyema katika kujifunza Kingereza na Hisabati. Nchini Kenya filamu imekuwa ikitumikizwa na walimu katika kufunzia somo la Fasihi na hivyo kubagua kipengele cha sarufi. Pengo hili liliibua haja ya kutafitia matumizi ya filamu katika kufunzia sarufi ya Kiswahili angalao kuboresha matokeo ya karatasi ya pili yaani inayojulikana kama sarufi au Matumizi ya Lugha. Makala haya yaliongozwa na Nadharia ya utabia ya Hermer (1996), kupitia kwa mihimili yake tofauti. Utafiti huu ulitekelezwa maktabani na nyanjani. Utafiti wa maktabani ulichangia kutambua usuli wa matumizi ya filamu ulimwenguni. Utafiti wa nyanjani ulifanyika katika eneo la Mukurweini linaloakilisha jumuiya ya wanafunzi wanaotumia silibasi sawia na wanafunzi wengine kote nchini Kenya. Sampuli zilizotumikizwa ziliteuliwa kimakusudi na kwa njia za kuelezea. Katika ukusanyaji data utafiti huu ulizingatia mbinu za hojaji, Uchunzaji na mtihani kwa wanafunzi. Data iliyokusanywa ilichanganuliwa na kuwasilishwa kupitia michoro na maelezo tofauti. Kufuatia jinsi wanafunzi wamekuwa wakipata gredi dhaifu katika sarufi kwa muda wa miaka mitano mfululizo. Kwa majubu wa matokeo ya utafiti, ilibainika kwamba licha ya walimu kutambua umuhimu wa matumizi ya filamu hawakuitumikiza darasani. Pia, ilifahamika ya kwamba walimu wachache waliotumikiza filamu darasani kufunzia sarufi waliboresha utendaji wa wanafunzi wao kwani matokeo ya mitihani ya wanafunzi waliotumikiza filamu yalitia fora. Hii ilikuwa kinyume cha matokeo ya wale wanafunzi ambao hawakutumia filamu darasani kujifunzia sarufi na badala yake waliegemea vitabu, ubao na maelekezi ya mwalimu darasani. Utafiti huu utakuwa wa manufaa kwani unalenga kuwaelekeza walimu namna ya kuimarisha gredi za wanafunzi katika Kiswahili sarufi kupitia matumizi ya filamu na vilevile kuwapa motisha ya kufanya hivyo
Grammatical Functions of One Biblical Idiom
Authors:   Vladimir State University, Fedulenkova Tatiana N.
Published: January 2025

The biblical idiom (a/the) Good Samaritan is one of the most common set phrases that are used in contemporary English, including its standard variants. Over 800 contexts with this phraseological unit were found in the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COСA) alone. In the Bible, this phrase is not an idiom since its components show no signs of semantic transfer and each word is used in its original meaning: this is a parable about a good Samaritan who, upon seeing an emaciated person covered in wounds and scabs, hurries to help him. The object of research in this paper is the specific use of the biblical idiom (a/the) Good Samaritan in contemporary English, e.g. in the sentences presented on the websites of national corpora of contemporary English, including its standard variants. In this article, a sample from COCA was studied. The subject of research is the percentage of various grammatical functions performed by this biblical idiom in a sentence, since function is a focus of a linguist’s attention both structurally and cognitively. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the biblical idiom (a/the) Good Samaritan has not been subject to a detailed linguistic analysis in terms of its grammatical functions in a sentence.
Philosophy of the Russian Rosicrucians of the Late 18th – Early 19th Centuries and the Universalist Worldview
Authors:   T.F. Gorbachev Kuzbass State Technical University, Myakinnikov Sergey P.
Published: January 2025

The article focuses on the growing host of social, natural and environmental problems faced by human civilization at the beginning of this century. It is emphasized that a systemic set of generalized human views of the world, of oneself in it and of one’s relationships with it, i.e. worldview, can help to fully understand these problems and find ways, methods and forms of overcoming the general crisis (the exacerbation of these problems) through proper beliefs, orientations of beliefs, value attitudes and practical regulators. The author points out that it is necessary to form a new worldview that is most capable of reflecting reality and organizing activities in accordance with the changing world. The previous forms of worldview – holism, merism and religious onecentrism – are becoming obsolete due to the loss of relevance of reduction to the whole, part or the one, respectively. It is proposed to create a new worldview based on the traditional worldview of universalism, which is understood as a type of holism absolutizing the universal whole (the universe). The new universalism (meta-universalism), unlike traditional universalism, should be characterized by genuine non-reductionism, which is achieved through the interpenetration of the meanings of the concepts of one, whole, many, singular and unique. This fusion is ensured by the principle of convergence and the optimization procedure, structurally and functionally matching the potentials of the meanings of these concepts for their converging into a single concept, an “alloy” of a single whole, manifested in a separate, individual part. These methodological features are most consistent with modern objective reality, which means they allow one to create a worldview that is as adequate as possible to the changes taking place in nature and society. This is a contribution to the development of a philosophical methodology for the study and resolution of complex social and socio-natural, including global, problems of our time. The origins of such a worldview are traced to the ideas of the Russian Rosicrucians of the late 18th and early 19th centuries (primarily, in their metaphysics, ontology and epistemology). The article substantiates the universalist character of many of the Rosicrucians’ views.

Conceptual coherence but methodological mayhem: A systematic review of absolute pitch phenotyping
Authors: Bairnsfather Jane E. , Mosing Miriam A. , Osborne Margaret S. , Wilson Sarah J.
Published: January 2025

Despite extensive research on absolute pitch (AP), there remains no gold-standard task to measure its presence or extent. This systematic review investigated the methods of pitch-naming tasks for the classification of individuals with AP and examined how our understanding of the AP phenotype is affected by variability in the tasks used to measure it. Data extracted from 160 studies (N = 23,221 participants) included (i) the definition of AP, (ii) task characteristics, (iii) scoring method, and (iv) participant scores. While there was near-universal agreement (99%) in the conceptual definition of AP, task characteristics such as stimulus range and timbre varied greatly. Ninety-five studies (59%) specified a pitch-naming accuracy threshold for AP classification, which ranged from 20 to 100% (mean = 77%, SD = 20), with additional variability introduced by 31 studies that assigned credit to semitone errors. When examining participants’ performance rather than predetermined thresholds, mean task accuracy (not including semitone errors) was 85.9% (SD = 10.8) for AP participants and 17.0% (SD = 10.5) for non-AP participants. This review shows that the characterisation of the AP phenotype varies based on methodological choices in tasks and scoring, limiting the generalisability of individual studies. To promote a more coherent approach to AP phenotyping, recommendations about the characteristics of a gold-standard pitch-naming task are provided based on the review findings. Future work should also use data-driven techniques to characterise phenotypic variability to support the development of a taxonomy of AP phenotypes to advance our understanding of its mechanisms and genetic basis.
Eyewitness Lineup Identity (ELI) database: Crime videos and mugshots for eyewitness identification research
Authors: Fitzgerald Ryan J. , Rubínová Eva , Ribbers Eva , Juncu Stefana
Published: January 2025

There is a long history of experimental research on eyewitness identification, and this typically involves staging a crime for participants to witness and then testing their memory of the “culprit” by administering a lineup of mugshots. We created an Eyewitness Lineup Identity (ELI) database, which includes crime videos and mugshot images of 231 identities. We arranged the mugshots into 6-, 9-, and 12-member lineups, and then we tested the stimuli in an eyewitness experiment. Participants (N = 1584) completed six trials of viewing a crime video and completing a lineup identification task. In lineups that included the culprit, the average probability of correction identification was 59.0%, 95% CI [55.9, 62.0]. In lineups that did not include the culprit, the average probability of false alarm was 29.9% [27.8, 32.0]. These outcomes indicate that the ELI database is suitable for eyewitness identification research, and the large number of crime videos would enable stimulus sampling. The database is available for research approved by a research ethics board and can be requested at https://osf.io/vrj3u.

The Occupational Stress Questionnaire for Law Enforcement Services
Authors: Tegyey Andrea Cecília
Published: January 2025

Aim: Motivation is an important management tool, especially in organisations where people's skills and abilities are crucial to effective performance. An example of such an organisation is the Police, which is still people-centred despite information technology modernisation. Motivation is therefore essential not only in leadership, but also in the psychological selection process, and its components and characteristics are examined.
Methodology: For each member of the law enforcement services is a must, based on the legal obligation, to have the proper health, psychic and physical condition. The psychological test can facilitate police recruit selection, which includes, among others, an Occupational Stress Questionnaire for Law Enforcement Services (OSQLES), which has been used for decades in Hungary.
Findings: In according to Herzberg's two-factor theory, I review and analyse the OSQLES' relevance and suitability for law enforcement services.
Value: I will answer two questions. Firstly, whether the OSQLES is a suitable method to obtain the right information through questions and scales and secondly, whether it is suitable to identify the factors of the Herzberg's theory.

Authors: Kardos Pál
Published: January 2025

Aim: A detailed presentation of the legislation affecting the operation of the auxiliary police, which contributes to the establishment and maintenance of public order and public safety, and a tangential presentation of other legislation, highlighting the process and the most important stages of legal development.
Methodology: The author of the study, as a practising law enforcement professional and a practising vigilante, summarises the development of the legislation affecting the operation of the vigilante service, the main provisions of the existing norms and their significance, focusing primarily on the Vigilante Act and other related regulations.
Findings: The author draws attention to the essence of operating within a regulated framework in order to contribute effectively and lawfully to the creation and maintenance of public safety, shedding light on the need for regulation, its detail and adequacy, and providing an insight into the everyday workings of the Auxiliary police.
Value: The author of the study wishes to contribute to the comprehensive scientific research and mapping of the operation of vigilance, recognizing the fact that the researched topic is the prevention of crime, civil participation in the maintenance of public order and public safety, and therefore the cooperation of law enforcement is a constantly topical issue, because in the current circumstances the role of the auxiliary police is an indispensable aid to the police.
Az erőszakos szexuális bűncselekmények pszichotraumatológiája
Authors: Erdélyi Ákos
Published: January 2025

Aim: Traumatic life events result in serious psychological dysfunctions in the life of the victims, which can often be fixed for a life-long period, result in a permanent loss of personality. This is especially true for victims of sexual violence. The memory of the abuse, the traumatic life event experienced, is fixed in the victims, and very often they try to overcome the horrors they experienced with inadequate coping mechanisms. At the same time, these events result in serious mental disorders and personality changes in them, for which both the investigative authorities and health professionals must be prepared. The purpose of this study is to review and summarize these psychotraumatic phenomena in order to know more about the victims of sexual violence, which knowledge will come in handy when working with them.
Methodology: Through a review of the literature and a case report, I present the main mental disorders that develop as a result of a traumatic life event.
Findings: Sexual violence is a serious trauma. Not only physical, but also psychological. Accordingly, we must treat traumatized persons carefully, but for this we must be aware of the psychodynamic changes that appear in the daily life of the victims.
Value: There is a lot of talk about the perpetrators of sexual violence, but not enough about the victims. With this study, I am trying to contribute to getting to know the psychological dynamics of the victims, and I am trying to come up with formulations that can be used during the execution of individual investigative actions.
A bűnösség megítélésének szubjektív oldala, ahogy azt 1925-ben a későbbi első magyar kriminalisztikai tanszék vezetője, dr. Unger Jenő értelmezte
Authors: Sidló Mariann
Published: January 2025

Aim: To present a criminal psychological and legal curiosity that is a century old this year, and its afterlife. This curiosity is the study entitled ‘The Biased Criminals’ published in 1925 by Dr. Jenő Unger in the columns of ‘A Rend’.
Methodology: With the help of contemporary documents and newspaper articles, after a brief introduction of the author of the analysed paper the article outlines the professional background of the study, such as the importance of establishing guilt and the reasons for the nationalisation of the police in 1919, thus placing the work in context. It describes its afterlife, which was its appearance at the 1925 New York International Police Conference. Meanwhile, it interprets two key phrase used in the study for today.
Findings: The article clarifies the use of ‘bias’ by Dr. Jenő Unger in a way that is different from today's terminology. According to the description of the study presented there is a phenomenon where the perpetrator admits to the act he has committed, but not that he has committed a crime. It distinguishes three sub-cases: innate bias, bias developed through upbringing/propaganda/influence and bias produced by the psychological shock of circumstances. At the end of the article, the term 'omnipotent state' is interpreted as nothing more than the sovereignty of the state, and is used as a final argument against individual 'interpretations of law'.
Value: Dr. Jenő Unger's study revealed the specific psychology of the cases described, the psychological processes that take place in the perpetrator, thus giving us an insight into a unique chapter of contemporary criminal psychology. He also discussed the legal implications. The article presenting the study gives an insight into the criminalistics of the period.
Planetary Mass Determinations from a Simplified Photodynamical Model—Application to the Complete Kepler Dataset
Authors: Ofir Aviv , Yoffe Gideon , Aharonson Oded
Published: January 2025

We use PyDynamicaLC, a model using the least number of—and the least correlated—degrees of freedom needed to derive a photodynamical model, to describe some of the smallest—and lowest-transit-timing-variation-amplitude—of the Kepler planets. We successfully analyze 64 systems containing 218 planets, for 88 of which we were able to determine significant masses (to better than 3σ). We demonstrate consistency with literature results over 2 orders of magnitude in mass, and for the planets that already had literature mass estimations, we were able to reduce the relative mass error by ∼22% (median value). Of the planets with determined masses, 23 are new mass determinations, with no previous significant literature values, including a planet smaller and lighter than Earth (KOI-1977.02/Kepler-345 b). These results demonstrate the power of photodynamical modeling with the appropriately chosen degrees of freedom. This will become increasingly more important as smaller planets are detected, especially as the TESS mission gathers ever longer baseline light curves and for the analysis of the future PLATO mission data.

We report the discovery of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB) source FRB 20240209A using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME)/FRB telescope. We detected 22 bursts from this repeater between 2024 February and July, 6 of which were also recorded at the Outrigger station k’niʔatn k’l⌣stk’masqt (KKO). The multiple very long baseline interferometry localizations using the 66 km long CHIME–KKO baseline, each with a different baseline vector orientation due to the repeater’s high decl. of ∼86°, enabled the combined localization region to be constrained to 1″ × 2″. We present deep Gemini optical observations that, combined with the FRB localization, enabled a robust association of FRB 20240209A to the outskirts of a luminous galaxy (P(O∣x) = 0.99; L ≈ 5.3 × 1010
L
⊙). FRB 20240209A has a projected physical offset of 40 ± 5 kpc from the center of its host galaxy, making it the FRB with the largest host galaxy offset to date. When normalized by the host galaxy size, the offset of FRB 20240209A (5.1 R
eff) is comparable to that of FRB 20200120E (5.7 R
eff), the only FRB source known to originate in a globular cluster. We consider several explanations for the large offset, including a progenitor that was kicked from the host galaxy or in situ formation in a low-luminosity satellite galaxy of the putative host, but find the most plausible scenario to be a globular cluster origin. This, coupled with the quiescent, elliptical nature of the host as demonstrated in our companion Letter, provides strong evidence for a delayed formation channel for the progenitor of the FRB source.
An eastern Congolian endemic, or widespread but secretive? New data on the recently described Afrixalus lacustris (Anura, Hyperoliidae) from the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Authors: Nečas Tadeáš , Badjedjea Gabriel , Czurda Janis , Gvoždík Václav
Published: January 2025

The Great Lakes spiny reed frog (Afrixalus lacustris) was recently described from transitional (submontane) forests at mid-elevations of the Albertine Rift mountains in the eastern Congolian region. Previously, because of its similarity, it had been understood to represent eastern populations of the unrelated A. laevis, which is known mainly from Cameroon. Based on DNA barcoding, we document the westward extension of the known range of A. lacustris within lowland rainforests in the Northeastern and Central Congolian Lowland Forests. One sample was represented by a larva found in a clutch in a folded leaf, a typical oviposition type for most Afrixalus species, contrary to oviposition on an unfolded leaf surface in the similar A. laevis and closely related A. dorsimaculatus and A. uluguruensis. Comparison of the advertisement call of A. lacustris from Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo, indicates similarity to its sister species from montane areas of the Albertine Rift, the ghost spiny reed frog (A. phantasma). Phylogeographic analysis suggests that A. phantasma and A. lacustris speciated allopatrically during the Early Pleistocene, with the former having refugia in montane forests and the latter in transitional and also lowland forests. The lowland populations of A. lacustris represent distinct evolutionary lineages, which diversified probably in isolated forest refugia during the Middle Pleistocene.

Maladie génétique la plus fréquente dans le monde et dans les Antilles Françaises, où elle est considérée comme priorité nationale de santé publique, la drépanocytose a de forts retentissements sur le quotidien des jeunes qui vivent avec : sur leur santé physique, mais également leur qualité de vie, et leur participation sociale. C’est dans l’espace scolaire, lieu d’apprentissage et de socialisation, que le poids de la pathologie est le plus marqué. La présente étude, menée sur des drépanocytaires (n = 81) ainsi que des sujets sains (n = 45) âgés de 6 à 16 ans et résidant en Guadeloupe, s’appuie sur le modèle écologique du Processus de Production du Handicap (Fougeyrollas, 2010 ; Fougeyrollas et Cloutier, 2016). Le travail présenté ici questionne le vécu de la maladie, en particulier dans le champ scolaire, et articule les analyses issues de différents types de matériaux quantitatifs et qualitatifs (i.e, échelles MHAVIE et MQE, entretiens biographiques avec des jeunes malades et leur entourage familial, ainsi que des acteurs pertinents, n = 43). Les données quantitatives relatives à la qualité de la participation sociale et de l’environnement, détaillées dans de précédents travaux (Cholley-Gomez et al ., 2022a ; Cholley-Gomez et al., 2022b) attestent de l’impact de la pathologie, et en particulier des situations de handicap ou de restriction de la participation sociale rencontrées dans les espaces liés aux loisirs, et à la scolarité, dans un environnement physique et social particulièrement contraignant. Les données qualitatives permettent d’affiner ces éléments. Chez ces enfants et adolescents le vécu de la drépanocytose est, particulièrement dans le champ scolaire, caractérisé par la problématique de son invisibilité. Une problématique toutefois appréhendée par une forme d’ambivalence puisque les drépanocytaires, en quête de normalisation, adoptent des stratégies de masquage et de contrôle des signes visibles de la maladie, impactant sa gestion ; dans le même temps, les discours montrent des stratégies de dévoilement et un besoin de reconnaissance des difficultés et contraintes liées à la pathologie, finalement peu (re)connus du personnel éducatif et du grand public.
La mise en œuvre de la spécialité « numérique et sciences informatiques » au lycée : une évolution de la forme scolaire ?
Authors: Lanéelle Xavière , Harlé Isabelle , Roche Marine
Published: January 2025

Cet article analyse, du point de vue curriculaire et de la construction des identités professionnelles, la mise en place d’un enseignement de spécialité « Numérique et Sciences Informatiques » dans le cadre de la réforme des lycées. La diversité des provenances disciplinaires et de formations de ses enseignants, l’absence d’antériorité dans le cursus des lycéens mais aussi la volonté politique constante de donner une place à l’informatique dans les programmes scolaires interrogent le statut de cet enseignement. Nous l’analysons du point de vue des écarts à la forme scolaire. S’il s’agit d’une évolution, quelle en est la nature ? Cette recherche collective s’appuie sur des données quantitatives recueillies par questionnaire et qualitatives. Les résultats soulignent que cet enseignement questionne la forme scolaire, notamment à travers les dispositifs pédagogiques, la relation aux élèves et l’expertise disciplinaire.
Analyse de l’activité d’élèves confrontés au jeu du « cartaping » en EPS : une étude exploratoire
Authors: Visioli Jérôme , Petiot Oriane , Vivot Alisée
Published: January 2025

Cette recherche exploratoire visait à analyser l’activité de deux collégiens réalisant un match de tennis de table exploitant du jeu du « Cartaping » (Monnet, 2009). Plus précisément, il s’agissait de mettre à l’épreuve les hypothèses formulées par l’auteur, selon lesquelles le Cartaping aurait un impact positif sur les émotions des élèves, sur les dimensions tactiques et stratégiques de leur activité, et sur leur acquisition de compétences plus générales. En nous basant sur le programme de recherche du « cours d’action » (Theureau, 2006), nous avons filmé les élèves lors du match puis réalisé avec eux un entretien d’autoconfrontation. Les résultats ont indiqué qu’à l’échelle du match, les hypothèses de Monnet (2009) ont été validées dans presque 75 % des cas, partiellement validées dans un quart des cas, et invalidées une seule fois. Le Cartaping a surtout eu des effets positifs sur les compétences tactiques et stratégiques des élèves. Ses effets sur les émotions sont plus ambivalents. Des propositions sont formulées pour optimiser le potentiel du Cartaping dans l’enseignement de l’EPS.
In Business Groups We Trust

Malgré la prévalence des groupes d’entreprises dans le monde, le débat sur les raisons de leur existence est loin d’être clos. Nous étudions l’impact de la confiance sur la prévalence des groupes d’entreprises. En utilisant des informations au niveau de l’entreprise sur l’affiliation à un groupe, nous effectuons des estimations sur un large échantillon de 259 919 entreprises de vingt-cinq pays européens. Nous constatons qu’une confiance accrue est associée à une probabilité plus faible d’être affilié à un groupe d’entreprises. Nos résultats concordent avec l’hypothèse selon laquelle une confiance accrue diminue les incitations d’une entreprise à internaliser les transactions par le biais de l’émergence d’un groupe d’entreprises.
Directeur, ou directrice, de cabinet du Premier ministre
Authors: Dreyfus Françoise
Published: January 2025

Depuis 1958, les directeurs de cabinet du Premier ministre sont recrutés de manière récurrente au sein de la haute fonction publique ; cela signifie que, parmi la multiplicité de leurs tâches, la coordination du travail gouvernemental, qui implique connaissance des procédures et du milieu administratif, est la plus essentielle. Bénéficiant de la confiance du Premier ministre, il leur incombe de valider la communication des membres du gouvernement, de prendre de nombreuses décisions et de représenter en maintes occasions le chef du gouvernement, qui est assuré de leur loyauté.
Les immigrés et les finances publiques
Authors: Chojnicki Xavier
Published: January 2025

L’immigration est souvent perçue comme représentant un coût élevé pour les finances publiques. Et pourtant, les études menées en France et dans les autres pays développés aboutissent en général à un impact extrêmement modéré. Dans le cas particulier de la France, celui-ci varie entre -0,5 % et +0,05 % du PIB selon l’année considérée. Ce faible impact s’explique pour l’essentiel par une structure par âge favorable de la population immigrée, caractérisée par une surreprésentation de ceux-ci dans les catégories d’âge actif, alors même que leur contribution nette individuelle aux finances publiques est relativement dégradée comparativement aux natifs. Pour autant, une modification de la politique migratoire (taille ou structure des flux) ne saurait constituer une solution pérenne au fardeau fiscal du vieillissement de la population française.
Quasilinear parabolic variational-hemivariational inequalities in $ \mathbb{R}^N\times (0, \tau) $ under bilateral constraints
Authors: Carl Siegfried
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we considered quasilinear variational-hemivariational inequalities in the unbounded cylindrical domain $ \mathbb{Q} = \mathbb{R}^N\times (0, \tau) $ of the form: Find $ u\in K\subset X $ with $ u(\cdot, 0) = 0 $ satisfying

   \begin{document}$ \begin{align*} \langle u_t-{\rm{div}}\ A(x,t,\nabla u), v-u\rangle +\displaystyle {\int}_{ \mathbb{Q}}a(x,t) j^o(x,t,u;v-u)\,dxdt\ge 0,\ \forall v\in K, \end{align*} $\end{document}

where $ K\subset X $ represents the bilateral constraints in $ X = L^p(0, \tau; D^{1, p}(\mathbb{R}^N)) $ with $ D^{1, p}(\mathbb{R}^N) $ denoting the Beppo-Levi space (or homogeneous Sobolev space), and $ j^o(x, t, s;\varrho) $ denoting Clarke's generalized directional derivative of the locally Lipschitz function $ s\mapsto j(x, t, s) $ at $ s $ in the direction $ \varrho $. The main goal and the novelty of this paper was to prove existence results without assuming coercivity conditions on the time-dependent elliptic operators involved, and without supposing the existence of sub-supersolutions. Further difficulties arise in the treatment of the problem under consideration due to the lack of compact embedding of $ D^{1, p}(\mathbb{R}^N)) $ into Lebesgue spaces $ L^\sigma(\mathbb{R}^N) $, and the fact that the constraint $ K $ has an empty interior, which prevents us from applying recent results on evolutionary variational inequalities. Instead our approach was based on an appropriately designed penalty technique and the use of weighted Lebesgue spaces as well as multi-valued pseudomontone operator theory.
Dynamics analysis of spatiotemporal discrete predator-prey model based on coupled map lattices
Authors: Li Wei , Xu Qingkai , Wang Xingjian , Zhang Chunrui
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we explore the dynamic properties of discrete predator-prey models with diffusion on a coupled mapping lattice. We conducted a stability analysis of the equilibrium points, provided the normal form of the Neimark-Sacker and Flip bifurcations, and explored a range of Turing instabilities that emerged in the system upon the introduction of diffusion. Our numerical simulations aligned with the theoretical derivations, incorporating the computation of the maximum Lyapunov exponent to validate obtained bifurcation diagrams and elucidated the system's progression from bifurcations to chaos. By adjusting the self-diffusion and cross-diffusion coefficients, we simulated the shifts between different Turing instabilities. These findings highlight the complex dynamic behavior of discrete predator-prey models and provide valuable insights for biological population conservation strategies.
From Travel to Text: Reverends Wolff and Lansdell’s Missions to Bokhara
Authors: Kantarbaeva-Bill Irina
Published: January 2025

Nearly half a century separates the missions to Bokhara, centre of Islamic knowledge and culture in Central Asia, made by the two intrepid travellers and preachers Joseph Wolff (1795–1862) and Henry Lansdell (1841–1919): an important generational and geopolitical gap both in the development of the Victorian era and in the evolution of travel and travel writing. When Joseph Wolff saw Bokhara in 1843, Central Asia was at the peak of Anglo-Russian rivalry, an extremely dangerous and violent place where his two compatriots, British envoys Charles Stoddard and Arthur Conolly, lost their lives. Lansdell’s subsequent travels there in 1882 and 1888 discovered Bokhara subdued and pacified under Russian ‘civilising mission’. My paper will examine the strategies Wolff and Lansdell employed in writing their journeys to Central Asian sensitive border regions under the imperial security constraints of the moment. Their failure of self-censorship in fact erupts in concealed messages to certain sections of Victorian readership able to read between the lines, revealing the undisclosed and unsaid.
Popularising Gardening: William Robinson and the Transmission of Garden Knowledge in the Illustrated Press
Authors: Wasilewski Aurélien
Published: January 2025

William Robinson (1838‒1935) was one of the most influential gardeners of the Victorian period. His publishing empire in particular can be considered as one of the strongest impetuses that fostered the self-definition of the British people as a nation of gardeners. Robinson’s journalistic work and editorial enterprises, rather than his landscape creations, have indeed contributed to the recording and cataloguing of a national tradition in the late 19th century by giving written and visual space—a voice and views—to an imagined community of gardeners. This paper will read William Robinson’s garden periodicals as a fertile ground from which a number of gardening practices, aesthetic forms and representations developed into shared customs. As such, gardening, gardens and landscapes emerged as an invaluable heritage to be preserved. I will first explain how his magazines opened a new space to a broader readership, a more diverse set of contributors, and even to other editors. This was accompanied by new ways of sharing and disseminating knowledge via text and illustration, which was largely co-constructed in popular gardening newspapers and magazines, further contributing to the creation of a sense of community among readers, and to the constitution of a shared ‘garden lore’. I will then ponder over the notion of collective horticultural heritage, which I suggest materialised in his publications out of the amalgamation of the myriad personal accounts, experiments, and views, and I will explain the extent to which this was attuned with modernity.
« Leprous literature » : le modèle de la transmission contesté par les théories esthétiques d’Oscar Wilde
Authors: Delhorme Carole
Published: January 2025

In the late nineteenth century, the English press often used the metaphor of contamination to refer to publications deemed immoral or obscene. It conveyed the idea that just like a contagious disease, the immorality of a book could be transmitted to the reader and could corrupt them. The critical reception of the first publication of The Picture of Dorian Gray in 1890 was no exception, as is shown by an article published in the Daily Chronicle: ‘[It] is a tale spawned from the leprous literature of the French Decadents—a poisonous book, the atmosphere of which is heavy with the mephitic odour of moral and spiritual putrefaction’. (quoted by Aquien 19). This lexicon echoed the legal standards that defined the limits to freedom of expression. Indeed, according to the leading case R v Hicklin (1868), which set a precedent for almost a century, a publication was defined as obscene if it had a ‘tendency... to deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences’, regardless of its literary merit. The morality of a work, as well as the legal and moral responsibility of the artist, could therefore be judged based on the influence that the work could exert on the reader. This paper examines the extent to which Oscar Wilde’s aesthetic theories, as articulated in his critical works collected in Intentions, respond to and challenge this evaluative framework. The Preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray, which proclaims the doctrine of art for art’s sake and the separation of the realm of art from that of action, has been seen as a manifesto against censorship, whether it be legal or extra-legal. The aim of this paper is to extend the analysis to other aspects of Wilde’s aesthetic theories. For instance, by relying on the subjectivity and arbitrariness of artistic reception, the theory of creative criticism makes the reader accountable for the interpretation of the work, so as to absolve the author from any responsibility.
