L’intelligence informationnelle : Du biomimétisme à l’humanisme numérique
Authors: VIEIRA Lise
Published: July 2020

Les évolutions de l’information liées au développement des technologies numériques prennent de plus en plus de place dans les activités humaines, ce qui entraîne des risques de dépendance et de perte de lien avec notre environnement naturel. Pourtant, parmi les inventions techniques, celles qui sont à la pointe de l’innovation imitent la nature. Le bio mimétisme consiste à s'inspirer du vivant pour atteindre l’excellence dans les domaines de l’industrie de l’urbanisme, mais aussi dans le domaine de l’information et de l’intelligence artificielle.Cependant les performances de l’ordinateur biologique qu’est le cerveau humain sont encore loin d’être atteintes. Cela pose la question du rapport de l’homme à ce qui l’entoure et à ses productions. Comment peut-on expliquer ce penchant à « copier » la nature et peut-on y voir l’indice d’un nouvel humanisme à l’ère du numérique ?
Communicating needs for robots in a developing economy and national development : a case of Nigeria
Authors: NSUDE Ifeyinwa
Published: July 2020

In this era of industrialization, a lot has been accomplished by robots particularly in developed countries to improve the nations’ economies. The six major areas of robotics which are expected to make major economic impact and contribute to national development include : drones, artificial assistants, driverless cars, medical procedures, operations, prosthetics, and exoskeleton. Most robots increase productivity, improve workers’ safety and make work more comfortable. Furthermore, robots help humans with odd jobs that are dangerous. It is expected therefore that deployment of robots can lead to economic growth and national development in Nigeria. This is a position paper that will enlighten Nigeria as a nation on the need for robots which will serve as a remedy for resuscitating her dwindling economy. The study was anchored on two theories namely : Technological Determinism and Social Construction of Technology Theories. The related literature was reviewed and the paper discussed and analysed succinctly. Appropriate communication strategies to create awareness among Nigerians were postulated. It is revealed that the benefits of robots outweigh the challenges thus the need for the deployment of robots in Nigeria. Four recommendations were made, one of which is that the government should establish Federal Agency for robots and robotics in Nigeria to create awareness, monitor and oversee the smooth running of deployment of robots.
Usages et potentialités des dispositifs socio-techniques d’information et de communication (DISTIC) mobiles en Afrique subsaharienne francophone : cas de deux villes du Niger : Niamey et Maradi
Authors: MAÏDAKOUALE Ibrahim
Published: July 2020

Au cours de ces trente (30) dernières années, les Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (TIC) ont connu un développement sans précédent aussi bien dans les pays développés que ceux en voie de développement (PED). Elles sont devenues un « nouveau vecteur » de plus en plus indispensable de la croissance économique de l’entreprise et ont transformé la planète en un petit village. Ces TIC, et principalement les DISTIC mobiles, ont changé le comportement du personnel. L’association de l’informatique et des télécommunications a permis incontestablement de collecter, traiter et faire circuler l’information dans le monde — en temps réel — celui qui la détient a le « pouvoir ». En effet, dans un contexte international dominé par la « révolution technologique » comme symboles de modernité et facteurs d’intégration à l’économie mondiale, les grands enjeux de la mondialisation imposent de plus en plus la nécessité pour chaque pays de s’intégrer harmonieusement au sein de la « société de l’information ». L’Afrique subsaharienne en général et le Niger en particulier, terrain de notre étude, y sont à la traîne en raison de plusieurs difficultés : technologiques, politiques et entrepreneuriales. Or, si les DISTIC mobiles sont reconnus par les institutions internationales comme des leviers au service du développement, ils ne se traduisent pas par une politique cohérente. L’Afrique subsaharienne semble encore limitée par plusieurs contraintes (manque de ressources humaines qualifiées, manque d’infrastructure, cherté de la connexion, analphabétisme, dépendance technologique du Sud à l’égard du Nord, etc).
Surveillance collaborative de l’assainissement urbain pour une gestion durable
Authors: HIJAB Abdessalam , BOULEKBACHE Hafida , HENRY Eric
Published: July 2020

Traditional improvement actions for monitoring sewerage networks (liquid and solid) in urban areas require a significant human and technical investment from the urban sanitation administration, due to the increase in costs of monitoring tools and means of transport on-site in the long run. The approach we developed aims to propose integration of the citizen in the process of monitoring the operation of sanitation infrastructures. We consider that a strong citizen contribution to the improvement of sanitation, both liquid and solid, also contributes to a better protection of the environment. The name given to the approach described in the article is Geo-CollaboraTIC. It combines Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Information & Communication Technologies (ICT). To implement it, we developed an interactive and collaborative online spatially referenced interface. We explained the operating principle of this technology, which uses real-time geo-localization of topological and multimedia data (photos and videos). Such facilities of the modern world make possible, on the one hand, to reduce surveillance and monitoring costs, and on the other hand, to take over the Council of Europe's citizen consultations (decisional communication/citizen/initiation). The participation of citizens in the life of their city strengthens the dialogue about its future and the protection of their environment.
Le droit des robots, un droit de l’homme en devenir ?
Authors: SAERENS Patrick
Published: July 2020

L’intelligence artificielle commence à intéresser les juristes. Entre les partisans d’une personnalité juridique propre aux robots et la crainte d’une justice prédictive, les lignes de fracture sont nombreuses. La question concerne aussi l’avenir des professionnels du droit qui peuvent être menacés par les « contrats intelligents » issus de la Blockchain. Mais chacun s’accorde à souhaiter que l’homme reste au centre des préoccupations de la machine afin que le droit des robots puisse, paradoxalement, être « un droit de l’homme » en devenir.
La ville intelligente et la question de la participation citoyenne dans les collectivités publiques
Authors: POKORE Adèhè Essossimna
Published: July 2020

La ville intelligente constitue une solution fiable apportée à la vulnérabilité des citoyens dans les collectivités publiques. Elle permet à celles-ci d’améliorer les conditions de vie des citoyens en rapprochant les services publics de ces derniers. Elle favorise surtout la démocratie participative par le biais des Nouvelles Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication. Malgré tout, il y a lieu de relever ici le manque de participation des habitants au débat qui précède la conception et la construction de ladite ville, par conséquent leurs avis ne sont pas pris en compte. Nous suggérons, à cet effet, la mise en place d’un dispositif permettant d’associer les habitants au débat qui précède la conception et la construction de la ville intelligente.

L’islam dans l’école : une frontière invisible ?
Authors: Langar Samia
Published: July 2020

La loi française prohibant le port de signes ostentatoires dans l’enceinte scolaire semble avoir mis fin aux « affaires du voile ». Toutefois, une scène quotidienne s’observe désormais devant les portes des établissements scolaires accueillant des élèves français de culture et de confession musulmanes : des jeunes filles venues voilées ôtent leur voile avant de pénétrer dans l’espace scolaire et s’en revêtent dès qu’elles le quittent. Ces gestes effectués sur le seuil de l’école tracent symboliquement des lignes de passage qui sont aussi des lignes de partage : entre espace scolaire et espace public, entre régimes de visibilité, entre particularisme et universalisme, entre inclusion et exclusion. Plus généralement, ces lignes de partage ébranlent et réinterrogent la laïcité elle-même et l’universel dont elle se réclame.
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
Authors: Agarwal Ritesh , Sehgal Inderpaul S. , Dhooria Sahajal , Muthu Valliappan , Prasad Kuruswamy T. , Bal Amanjit , Aggarwal Ashutosh N. , Chakrabarti Arunaloke
Published: July 2020

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an inflammatory disease caused by immunologic reactions initiated against Aspergillus fumigatus colonizing the airways of patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis. The common manifestations include treatment-resistant asthma, transient and fleeting pulmonary opacities and bronchiectasis. It is believed that globally there are about five million cases of ABPA, with India alone accounting for about 1.4 million cases. The occurrence of ABPA among asthmatic patients in special clinics may be as high as 13 per cent. Thus, a high degree of suspicion for ABPA should be entertained while treating a patient with bronchial asthma, particularly in specialized clinics. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can delay (or even prevent) the onset of bronchiectasis, which suggests that all patients of bronchial asthma should be screened for ABPA, especially in chest clinics. The current review summarizes the recent advances in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of ABPA.
Pathogenic gene expression of epicardial adipose tissue in patients with coronary artery disease
Authors: Sahasrabuddhe Anagha Vinay , Pitale Shailesh U. , Sivanesan Saravana Devi , Deshpande Purushottam K. , Deshpande Swapnil P. , Daiwile Atul
Published: July 2020

Background & objectives:

Coronary artery disease (CAD), a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide has multifactorial origin. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has complex mechanical and thermogenic functions and paracrine actions via various cytokines released by it, which can have both pro- and anti-inflammatory actions on myocardium and adjacent coronaries. The alteration of EAT gene expression in CAD is speculated, but poorly understood. This study was undertaken to find out the difference in gene expression of epicardial fat in CAD and non-CAD patients.

Methods:

Twenty seven patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and 16 controls (non-CAD patients undergoing valvular heart surgeries) were included in the study and their EAT samples were obtained. Gene expressions of uncoupling protein-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), adiponectin, adenosine A1 receptor (ADORA-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were studied by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Glucose, insulin, lipid profile, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, homocysteine, vitamin D, TNF-α and leptin levels were estimated in fasting blood samples and analyzed.

Results:

Leptin levels were significantly higher in CABG group as compared to controls (P<0.05), whereas other metabolic parameters were not significantly different between the two groups. MCP-1, VCAM-1 and TNF-α were upregulated in the CABG group as compared to controls. Further, multivariate analysis showed significantly reduced adjusted odds ratio for MCP-1 [0.27; 95% confidence interval: 0.08-0.91] in the CABG group as compared to controls (P<0.05).

Interpretation & conclusions:

Our findings showed an alteration in EAT gene expression in CAD patients with significant upregulation of MCP-1. Further studies with a large sample need to be done to confirm these findings.

Published: July 2020

Background & objectives:

The National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) and the ICMR-National Institute of Medical Statistics, the nodal agency for conducting HIV estimations in India, have been generating HIV estimates regularly since 2003. The objective of this study was to describe India's biennial HIV estimation 2017 process, data inputs, tool, methodology and epidemiological assumptions used to generate the HIV estimates and trends of key indicators for 2010-2017 at national and State/Union Territory levels.

Methods:

Demographic Projection (DemProj) and AIDS Impact Modules (AIM) of Spectrum 5.63 software recommended by the United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS Global Reference Group on HIV Estimates, Modelling and Projections, were used for generating HIV estimations on key indicators. HIV sentinel surveillance, epidemiological and programme data were entered into Estimation Projection Package (EPP), and curve fitting was done using EPP classic model. Finally, calibration was done using the State HIV prevalence of two rounds of National Family Health Survey (NFHS) -3 and -4 and Integrated Biological and Behavioural Surveillance (IBBS), 2014-2015.

Results:

The national adult prevalence of HIV was estimated to be 0.22 per cent in 2017. Mizoram, Manipur and Nagaland had the highest prevalence over one per cent. An estimated 2.1 million people were living with HIV in 2017, with Maharashtra estimated to have the highest number. Of the 88 thousand annual new HIV infections estimated nationally in 2017, Telangana accounted for the largest share. HIV incidence was found to be higher among key population groups, especially people who inject drugs. The annual AIDS-related deaths were estimated to be 69 thousand nationally. For all indicators, geographic variation in levels and trends between States existed.

Interpretation & conclusions:

With a slow decline in annual new HIV infections by only 27 per cent from 2010 to 2017 against the national target of 75 per cent by 2020, the national target to end AIDS by 2030 may be missed; although at the sub-national level some States have made better progress to reduce new HIV infection. It calls for reinforcement of HIV prevention, diagnosis and treatment efforts by geographical regions and population groups.
Innovative virtual mentoring using the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes model for primary care providers for the management of alcohol use disorders
Authors: Mahadevan Jayant , Shukla Lekhansh , Chand Prabhat Kumar , Komaromy Miriam , Murthy Pratima , Arora Sanjeev
Published: July 2020

The number of experts available for the management of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) in rural and underserved areas in India is limited. In this study, a blended training programme was conducted for 26 primary care providers (PCPs) from nine districts of Bihar, in best practices for the management of AUDs. A two weeks on-site training was followed by fortnightly online tele-Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) clinics for six months using the ‘Hub and Spokes’ ECHO model, accessible through internet-enabled smartphones. A questionnaire administered at baseline and after six months assessed changes in the PCPs compliance with principles of AUD management. Significant improvements were noted in compliance to principles in the management of AUDs based on self-report. Over the six months period 2695 individuals were screened, of whom 832 (30.8%) had an AUD Identification Test score of more than 16, indicating harmful use or dependence. The PCPs reported retaining 49.1 per cent of the cases for at least one follow up and needed to refer only 80 (3%) cases to specialists for further management. The ECHO model was found to be effective in training PCPs to provide quality healthcare. To confirm these findings, it needs to be tested in a large number of PCPs with a robust study design.
White paper on smokeless tobacco & women's health in India
Authors: Singh Shalini , Jain Pankhuri , Singh Prashant Kumar , Reddy K. Srinath , Bhargava Balram
Published: July 2020

Smokeless tobacco (SLT) use is widespread across many nations and populations, and India shares more than three-quarters of the global burden of SLT consumption. Tobacco use in India has been largely viewed as a male-dominant behaviour. However, evidence from medical, social and behavioural sciences show significant SLT use among women and young girls. This paper highlights key dimensions of SLT use among women in India including prevalence and determinants, the health effects arising from SLT use and cessation behaviours. The paper concludes by providing recommendations with the aim of setting research priorities and policy agenda to achieve a tobacco-free society. The focus on women and girls is essential to achieve the national targets for tobacco control under the National Health Policy, 2017, and Sustainable Development Goals 3 of ensuring healthy lives and promote well-being for all.
The singular structure and regularity of stationary varifolds
Authors: Naber Aaron , Valtorta Daniele
Published: July 2020

If one considers an integral varifold

I^m\subseteq M

with bounded mean curvature, and if

S^k(I)\equiv\{x\in M:

no tangent cone at

x

is

k+1

-symmetric} is the standard stratification of the singular set, then it is well known that

\mathrm {dim} S^k\leq k

. In complete generality nothing else is known about the singular sets

S^k(I)

. In this paper we prove for a general integral varifold with bounded mean curvature, in particular a stationary varifold, that every stratum

S^k(I)

is

k

-rectifiable. In fact, we prove for

k

-a.e. point

x\in S^k

that there exists a unique

k

-plane

V^k

such that
every
tangent cone at

x

is of the form

V\times C

for some cone

C

.

In the case of minimizing hypersurfaces

I^{n-1}\subseteq M^n

we can go further. Indeed, we can show that the singular set

S(I)

, which is known to satisfy

\mathrm {dim} S(I)\leq n-8

, is in fact

n-8

rectifiable with uniformly
finite

n-8

measure. An effective version of this allows us to prove that the second fundamental form

A

has
a priori
estimates in

L^7_{\mathrm {weak}}

on

I

, an estimate which is sharp as

|A|

is not in

L^7

for the Simons cone. In fact, we prove the much stronger estimate that the regularity scale

r_I

has

L^7_{weak}

-estimates.

The above results are in fact just applications of a new class of estimates we prove on the
quantitative
stratifications

S^k_{\epsilon,r}

and

S^k_{\epsilon}\equiv S^k_{\epsilon,0}

. Roughly,

x\in S^k_{\epsilon}\subseteq I

if no ball

B_r(x)

is

\epsilon

-close to being

k+1

-symmetric. We show that

S^k_\epsilon

is

k

-rectifiable and satisfies the Minkowski estimate

\mathrm {Vol}(B_r\,S_\epsilon^k)\leq C_\epsilon r^{n-k}

. The proof requires a new

L^2

-subspace approximation theorem for integral varifolds with bounded mean curvature, and a

W^{1,p}

-Reifenberg type theorem proved by the authors in [NVa].

O fim do mundo em traços japoneses:
Authors: Azevedo da Fonseca André , Pires Martins Jessica Maria
Published: July 2020

Em 1945, a imagem da explosão atômica em Hiroshima durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial se consagrou como um dos símbolos mais importantes no imaginário constituído em torno das tecnologias no século XX. Devido à destruição avassaladora daquele ataque inédito na história, as representações do evento nas mídias foram fortemente influenciadas por uma perspectiva mítica. A partir dos métodos da pesquisa bibliográfica e da mitocrítica, este estudo no campo da teoria dos quadrinhos investiga os símbolos arquetípicos manipulados no mangá Gen Pés Descalços (1973- 1974) para atribuir um sentido mitológico àquele evento histórico. A investigação aponta que os símbolos das sombras, do fogo e do trigo regenerador foram empregados deliberadamente para reafirmar o mito de um fim do mundo redentor.
Acoustic Correlates of the Spanish Tap-Trill Contrast: Heritage and L2 Spanish Speakers
Authors: Amengual Mark
Published: July 2020

The present study investigates the acoustic correlates of the Spanish tap-trill phonological
contrast (/ɾ/-/r/) in the production of 40 Spanish heritage speakers and 20 L2 Spanish learners in Northern California. The acoustic analyses examined the number of occlusions and overall duration in the production of phonemic trills, while the phonetic variants of the phonemic tap were based on the degree of apical constriction: true tap, approximant tap, and perceptual tap. The results from a reading-aloud task indicate that most speakers produced non-canonical phonemic trills with one or zero occlusions and maintain the Spanish tap-trill phonological contrast largely by means of segmental duration, and that this is especially true for L2 learners and English-dominant heritage speakers. In contrast, Spanish-dominant heritage speakers produced the majority of their trills with two or three brief occlusions between the tongue apex and the alveolar ridge. These data confirm that heritage speakers are a heterogeneous group and that variance in their rhotic production is a result of language dominance: English-dominant heritage speakers and L2 learners are most likely to exhibit a modified system to maintain the rhotic phonological contrast in comparison to Spanish-dominant heritage speakers. The findings of this study add to our understanding of the sources of variation in heritage and L2 pronunciation by investigating a largely understudied bilingual population that has traditionally been ignored in bilingual phonetic research.
Vowel Reduction in Israeli Heritage Russian
Authors: Asherov Daniel , Fishman Alon , Cohen Evan-Gary
Published: July 2020

This study examines vowel reduction patterns of Israeli Heritage Russian speakers (IHRs).
Contemporary Standard Russian is well documented as having a complex system of vowel
reduction (e.g., Barnes, 2002; Crosswhite, 1999; Jakobson, 1929; Padgett, 2004):
specifically, underlying /o/ surfaces as [o] in stressed syllables, as [ɐ] in the first pretonic
syllable, and as [ə] in other unstressed syllables. In Modern Hebrew, on the other hand,
stressed and unstressed vowels differ in duration, but not in quality (Cohen, Silber-Varod, &
Amir, in preparation; Maymon, 2001). We conducted a production experiment to determine
the patterns of vowel reduction in the Russian of IHRs. Sixteen IHRs were exposed to audiobased forms of real and nonce words with stressed /o/ and were required to produce the forms with and without stressed suffixes. Thus, underlying /o/ was produced in three distinct prosodic positions: stressed (e.g., /nos/ ‘nose sg.’), pretonic (e.g., /nos- ̍ɨ/ ‘nose pl.’), and antepretonic (e.g., /nos-o ̍voj/ ‘nasal.’). The quantity (duration) and quality (F1, F2) of /o/ were acoustically analyzed and compared to a control group of five Russian-speaking adult immigrants to Israel. The results showed that IHRs reduced unstressed /o/ in both real and nonce words, but in producing nonce words they did not display the height contrast that is expected between pretonic and antepretonic vowels. We argue that IHRs’ productions of real words may be rote-learnt, whereas their treatment of nonce words better reflects their productive grammar. We propose that IHRs’ productive system of vowel reduction is a mixed system, combining aspects of their heritage language (i.e., Russian) and dominant language (i.e., Hebrew).
Changes in Globalization: How Should IB Education Respond?
Authors: Buchan Nancy R. , Ravlin Elizabeth C. , Ozturk Orgul D.
Published: July 2020

A new phase of globalization has made the world cognizant of the job losses, inequality of gains across countries and socio-economic sectors, and climate degradation that has resulted from prior global business practices. We examine what changes international business (IB) education should consider as these patterns evolve. Non-routine analytical skills and global interpersonal skills will still be important in the changing economy. However, evidence suggests that IB education should also emphasize broader knowledge of politics, institutions, sociology, and anthropology in order to help future business leaders navigate and balance the increasingly complex requirements of both local and global stakeholder interests.

Ayurvedic medicines are gaining increase in popularity worldwide for the treatment of various diseases in recent times. In the present study, Amritadya guggulu, one of the Guggulu preparation mentioned in Pidika, Bhagandara and Sthaulya like conditions in Chakkradatta, was prepared and analysed so as to prove the safety and efficacy of the drug. Aims and objectives: To develop standard operative procedure for preparation of genuine drug and to analyze the safety and purity of the drug. Material and Methods: Amritadya guggulu was prepared as per classical texts and analysed by using different parameters like organoleptic properties, physicochemical properties, TLC etc. Discussion and Conclusion: 50% weight loss was observed. The weight loss was due to removal of impurities present in the Guggulu and handling loss. Presence of low acid insoluble ash (1.08%) determines the presence of low adherent dirt as well as sand particles.
