Jacques-Antoine Coquille d’Alleux, le prédicateur patriote (1747-1805)
Authors: Delahaye Bertrand
Published: October 2024

De quelle vie parle-t-on à propos de Jacques-Antoine Coquille d’Alleux ? De celle d’un franciscain, d’un franc-maçon, d’un curé constitutionnel, d’un religieux repenti et marié devenu avocat, ou bien encore d’un farouche jacobin exaltant les bienfaits de la Révolution française ? Quelle cohérence peut-il bien y avoir dans une telle trajectoire personnelle ? L’historiographie, tant cléricale et conservatrice que d’obédience laïque et républicaine des xixe et xxe siècles, a longtemps perçu ces curés « rouges » comme des traîtres ou des héros.Pourtant, dégagé de ce prisme déformant, l’analyse du processus qui conduit Jacques-Antoine Coquille d’Alleux à rompre avec son passé de religieux et à s’engager radicalement en faveur de la Révolution rend son parcours intelligible, marqué par de nombreuses recompositions de ses pratiques héritées de l’Ancien Régime. Ces recompositions tendent à faire de cet homme un véritable prédicateur patriote en Maine-et-Loire entre 1789 et 1805. Basée sur un corpus documentaire en partie inédit, cette étude invite à une relecture des itinéraires des prêtres constitutionnels. Leurs engagements sont ici éclairés par la « microstoria » de leurs réseaux religieux, patriotiques et familiaux, dans le double souci de comprendre à la fois les comportements individuels et les processus collectifs alors à l’œuvre.
La jeunesse africaine face à l’emploi : la promesse d’un meilleur lendemain ?
Authors: Le Petit-Guerin Mehdi
Published: October 2024

Candidats au « dividende démographique » depuis des années, de nombreux pays africains misent sur le potentiel productif des jeunes pour dynamiser leurs économies. La principale stratégie pour ces pays a été de chercher à compenser un déficit chronique en capital humain, s’inspirant des trajectoires de croissance des économies avancées. Malgré les progrès accomplis en matière de scolarisation, cette stratégie s’est révélée limitée avec des jeunes restant surexposés aux situations professionnelles les plus précaires. La fragilité intrinsèque des économies, couplée aux récentes crises financières, sociales, sanitaires et environnementales contribuent à enrayer la machine. Mêlant conceptualisation et modélisation statistique, notre travail évalue l’influence de différents facteurs sur l’insertion des jeunes dans onze pays africains. Nous mettons en évidence les éléments qui protègent, ou au contraire surexposent à l’exclusion professionnelle et à l’emploi de mauvaise qualité, tout en réfléchissant à la définition de ces concepts pour contribuer à leur renouvellement. Nous proposons ainsi un état des lieux contextualisé de l’emploi des jeunes en Afrique, notamment à travers les questions de genre, d’informalité et d’inadéquation formation-emploi. Ce travail réaffirme toute l’actualité de ces problématiques, tout en mettant en évidence leur variabilité à travers le continent. Il appelle ainsi à s’éloigner de l’idée d’une recette miracle du développement, au profit de politiques innovantes et sur-mesure, adaptées au contexte africain.
L’impact de la discrimination de genre sur l’emploi des jeunes au Nigéria
Authors: Ihekwaba Chisom
Published: October 2024

Selon le Bureau national des statistiques du Nigéria, les jeunes représentent environ 70% de la population du Nigéria, qui connaît un taux de chômage préoccupant de 53%. Ce chiffre est fortement influencé par des facteurs tels que le taux élevé de pauvreté, l’accès limité à l’éducation et la corruption institutionnalisée dans tous les secteurs. Cependant, un autre problème sous-exploré réside dans l’inégalité de traitement des jeunes en fonction de leur sexe, ainsi que la conviction que certains instruments juridiques alimentent la discrimination à l’égard des femmes et limitent leurs choix de carrière. Outre l’évaluation de l’impact des normes de genre sur l’emploi des jeunes, cet article examine la manière dont les instruments juridiques liés au travail et à l’emploi affectent les jeunes femmes nigérianes. Il analyse l’ampleur et les conséquences de la discrimination de genre sur le développement professionnel et l’indépendance économique des jeunes femmes, et sur l’emploi des jeunes en général. Il aborde également l’évolution du cadre juridique et le fait qu’une approche du développement socio-économique fondée sur l’égalité des genres pourrait conduire à une réduction du taux de chômage et favoriser une main-d’œuvre plus inclusive. S’inspirant des expériences et des leçons tirées d’autres pays africains en matière de lutte contre les préjugés et partis pris sexistes à l’égard des jeunes sur le marché du travail, cet article présente des stratégies visant à réduire les disparités hommes-femmes chez les jeunes au Nigéria.
Le droit face au défi de l’emploi des jeunes au Burkina Faso

Published: October 2024

L’étude met en évidence les lacunes du système juridique burkinabè en termes de régulation et de promotion de l’emploi des jeunes, et propose que la législation du travail reconnaisse et protège davantage les jeunes, y compris ceux en auto-emploi, à travers des dispositifs spécifiques, alignant les garanties sociales sur les réalités économiques du Burkina Faso pour parvenir à une société plus inclusive.
Quand les images font écran à ce qui fait sens dans le travail
Authors: Garçon Lucile , Couix Nathalie
Published: October 2024

L’article propose un retour d’expérience réflexif sur un dispositif audiovisuel conçu et déployé dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche participative portant sur les transformations des valeurs à l’œuvre dans un contexte de transition agroécologique. Après la description de ce dispositif méthodologique original et des cadres théoriques auxquels il se réfère, au carrefour entre anthropologie visuelle et ergonomie, les autrices détaillent ce que le recours aux images a produit, puis reviennent ensuite sur les surprises, les difficultés et les interrogations qu’il a suscitées. L’article montre comment le film a enrichi et aiguisé l’enquête en permettant de pointer un décalage entre les méthodes décrites a priori et les pratiques effectivement réalisées. Il souligne par ailleurs l’ambivalence des images en revenant sur différents moments où leur utilisation a débordé les intentions premières, et d’autres où, au contraire, elles n’ont pas suffi à susciter la réflexivité espérée. L’article invite à une réflexion épistémologique quant au positionnement des chercheur-euses et à la construction de l’autorité dans une démarche de recherche collaborative à l’interface entre différents mondes du travail en agriculture.
L’être anténatal
Authors: Giraud Anne-Sophie
Published: October 2024

Victoire féministe, l’allongement du délai légal de l’interruption volontaire de grossesse confère aux femmes une autonomie corporelle qui semble a priori peu compatible avec l’attention portée aujourd’hui à l’embryon et au fœtus. Ceux-ci, grâce aux progrès de l’imagerie médicale et des biotechnologies, s’imposent comme des êtres sociaux, inclus dans des dynamiques parentales, médicales et juridiques. Dans ce contexte apparemment paradoxal, comment la société française met-elle en place des procédures de régulation, d’organisation et d’institution qui tentent de concilier autonomie féminine et vie anténatale ? Pourquoi le fœtus avorté à la quatorzième semaine de grossesse est-il qualifié de « déchet anatomique », tandis que, décédé lors d’une fausse couche une semaine plus tard, on délivre à leur demande aux parents un acte d’enfant sans vie ? Comment interpréter les statuts variés de l’être avant la naissance, entre « protopersonne » et résidu d’un processus biotechnique, entre « quasi-enfant » et « pièce anatomique » ? À quel moment peut-on considérer les porteurs d’un projet parental comme « parents » ? Comment sont vécues les fécondations in vitro ou les morts périnatales ? Anne-Sophie Giraud, anthropologue de la procréation au CNRS, répond à ces questions délicates et parfois polémiques à partir d’une vaste enquête portant sur les processus d’engendrement. Avec une grande rigueur scientifique et à l’aide de nombreux entretiens, L’Être anténatal démontre que l’engendrement doit être compris comme un processus de transformation physique et statutaire inscrit dans une temporalité propre et organisé autour de situations de choix.
No Laughing Matter: On the Importance of the Body in Plato’s Humour
Authors: Vaghi Katja
Published: October 2024

To grasp the humour in the Platonic dialogues, it is useful to observe their use of the body. This article proposes leveraging knowledge from the art of dance, an embodied art par excellence, to explore how the body makes an audience laugh. Often considered in the past as an art dealing with serious or tragic subjects, dance, like philosophy, can have a lighter side. An analysis of how humour appears in dance is used as a heuristic device to uncover three ways humour is transmitted through bodily elements in Plato’s dialogues. The choreographers focused on – the Swede Alexander Ekman and the Czech Jiří Kylián – work with a type of elevated humour that is in fact close to that of Plato. In both cases, ballet and Platonic dialogues, humorous and serious elements can be present in the same work, as if to balance the conveyed message and make it more relatable to the audience.
Monster and Khôra: Re-Imagining the Performing Body with Plato
Authors: Kirkkopelto Esa
Published: October 2024

This article offers a deconstructive reading of two imaginary constructs in Plato’s work. The first is the allegory of the psychè presented in Book IX of the Republic, and the second is the khôra discussed in Timaeus. Both discourses conceal an idea of corporality that the art of acting – that is, bodies in the performing arts – has traditionally manifested. The absence of the imaginary function and its replacement by the plastic paradigm of “moulding” or “shaping” require bodily mediation and lead to the idea of a plastic logos, where the two aspects of logos – language and reason – can unify. This conclusion is noteworthy when considering the theatrical elements of the Platonic dialogues in contrast to their simultaneous and apparently anti-theatrical arguments. It also aids contemporary performance practice in liberating itself from psychological and anthropomorphic interpretations of imagination.
Kurt Goldstein, de la clinique des lésions cérébrales au soin et à l’accompagnement des maladies chroniques et du handicap : soigner la personne, « réarranger le milieu »
Authors: Camus Agathe
Published: October 2024

La conception goldsteinienne des états pathologiques comme des relations spécifiques au milieu, forgée depuis son travail et ses observations cliniques auprès de soldats atteints de lésions cérébrales pendant la première guerre mondiale, prêtent une attention alors inédite à la chronicité comme forme particulière du pathologique, susceptible de se stabiliser dans des états de santé. En découle une conception « holistique » du soin, attentive à la personne en tant que tout et aux possibilités de restructuration de sa relation au milieu. Si les orientations qu’il donne à son approche clinique en font un pionnier de la médecine physique et de réadaptation, la réflexion qu’il mène sur les normes et la normalité et sur les limites de l’action médicale, ancrée dans une conception de la santé comme « latitude de vie », le distingue néanmoins du paradigme de la réadaptation tel qu’il est parfois décrit et critiqué. En cela, les conceptions de Goldstein semblent pouvoir être étendues de manière féconde au soin et à l’accompagnement des maladies chroniques et de certaines situations de handicap aujourd’hui.
Pulau Aur and Some Nearby Islands in Chinese Nautical Sources of the Ming Period
Authors: Ptak Roderich
Published: October 2024

Some scholars have proposed to identify the names Shangxiazhu 上下竺, Zhuyu 竺嶼, Tianzhushan 天竺山, and Dongxizhu 東西竺, recorded in Song and Yuan sources, with Pulau Aur, the easternmost island of the Seribuat Archipelago, but there is dissent on the issue. The present study briefly reviews that. It also summarizes references to the Seribuat Islands on the so-called “Zheng He Map”. However, the principal aim is to discuss and throw light on the presentation of Pulau Aur and various nearby islands in nautical works of the Ming period. This concerns several toponyms, especially Dongzhushan 東竹山, Xizhushan 西竹山, and Dongxizhu 東西竹. It also concerns sailing routes through the archipelago itself, and along its eastern rim. Although many entries in the relevant sources provide ambiguous information, the general impression is that the network of routes used by Chinese sailors in the northwestern section of the Natuna Sea expanded in the course of time, i.e., from the days of Zheng He through to the early seventeenth century. The final part of the article suggests that one may also consider information found in Portuguese roteiros and other records to draw an improved panorama.

Published: October 2024

The Bongal area, near Kota Pandan, in the Tapanuli/Sibolga Bay, has been known to archaeologists since 2001 through the identification of the remains of a Ganeśa stone image. Eighteen years later, archaeologists returned to the same area to examine a large number of chance finds uncovered by local gold washers. Their observations led to undertake systematic excavations in 2021 and 2022. The aim of this article is to introduce the main categories of finds revealed since 2019 and to suggest a number of hypotheses. The surface area of the settlement site exceeds 200 hectares, covering part of the Bongal hills as well as the alluvial plain which extends toward the Lumut river. Finds include dozens of coins inscribed in Arabic, glazed and unglazed earthenware, stoneware and porcelain, glassware, various metal and alloy objects, beads, gems and faience jewel, artefacts made of wood, resins, nuts, seeds, cords, as well as ivory. The quantity and diversity of archaeological material suggest the existence of a port site dated between the 4th and 10th c. CE, participating in trade networks covering Southeast Asia, China, South Asia and the Middle East. The end of the occupation of Bongal would coincide with the beginnings of the occupation of Barus on the site of Lobu Tua, which flourished later.
Judicial Responses to Politically Sensitive Cases in an Authoritarian Setting: The Case of Hong Kong
Authors: Tam Waikeung
Published: October 2024

Courts around the globe have increasingly handled politically sensitive issues. Judicial decisions that are unfavourable to the political elites may invite political attacks. An emerging literature has explored how courts around the world develop strategies to respond to politically thorny issues. This article contributes to this literature by studying how courts in Hong Kong develop strategies for handling politically sensitive cases. Based on in-depth analysis of 58 politically sensitive cases that were heard by courts in Hong Kong between 1999 and 2023, this article finds that Hong Kong’s courts adopt the following strategies: deference to the government, denying standing to the applicants, ruling that the applicants failed to follow the proper procedures, deciding that a dispute does not exist, delaying the political and legal effects of judgments that are unfavourable to the government, and emphasising that politics plays no role in judges’ decisions.
The Paradox of Exchange: Institutional Asymmetry and the Limitations of Religious United Front Work across the Taiwan Strait
Authors: Chang Kuei-min
Published: October 2024

This article investigates how cross-strait distinction in religious governance affects Beijing’s united front work in Taiwan’s popular religious community. Due to shared spiritual lineages, Taiwanese temples are considered especially receptive to Chinese influence. Based on fieldwork and in-depth interview data collected over the years between 2013 and 2024, this article argues that institutional asymmetry has resulted in constant challenges limiting the effectiveness of cross-strait religious united front work. First, the centralised Chinese politico-religious order has limited the agency of the Chinese religious establishment in prioritising the CCP’s political imperative over religious logic. Second, decentralised Taiwanese temples have created coordination problems for cross-strait brokers whose agendas are not always aligned with Beijing. Finally, Taiwanese temple leaders abiding by communal religious traditions have deployed pragmatic coping strategies to sideline Beijing’s political intentions. Hence, Beijing’s efforts to initiate and repurpose cross-strait religious exchanges as instances of unity have paradoxically generated conflicting narratives within the Taiwanese popular religious community.
Playing with Fire: How Engagement with Illicit Economies Shapes the Survival and Resilience of Ethnic Armed Organisations in the China-Myanmar Borderlands
Authors: Peng Xu
Published: October 2024

This article examines the relationship between the survival and resilience of ethnic armed organisations (EAOs) and their involvement in the illicit economy in the China-Myanmar borderlands of northern Shan State over time. Drawing on fieldwork conducted from 2018 to 2022 in both the China-Myanmar and Thai-Myanmar borderlands, it employs a spatiotemporal approach to explore the interactions among border openness/closure, transnational flows, EAO’s strategies, and illicit economies, including the Cold War era drug trade, the gambling industry in the early twenty-first century, and the post-Covid-19 online scams industry. The study reveals how EAOs use the border as a resource, adapting their strategies to changing political environments. It argues that these interactions are not linear but rather characterised by reciprocal influences across various historical periods. This historical overview of the interactions between non-state armed groups and illicit economies reveals the complexity of the contested borderland along the Chinese border.

Individual Differences as Determinants of Graduate Employability in Brunei Darussalam
Authors: Mashod Hartini , Kura Kabiru Maitama
Published: October 2024

Increasing interests on the notion of graduate employability has led to various predictors that would increase chances of employment for job seeking graduates. However, very little is known about the influence of individual determinants that may play a crucial role in enhancing their employability. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the influence of gender, age and education on graduate employability. A cross-sectional, quantitative methodological approach was undertaken to examine the relationship between demographic factors and graduate employability. Data were collected from a sample of 324 graduates in Brunei that are registered in JobCentre Brunei. This study used parametric technique (i.e., ANOVA) to analyse the data collected. The findings indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between education and graduate employability. Meanwhile, no significant link was found for the effect of gender and age on employability among graduates. These data support existing studies that found significant role of education on graduate employability; the higher educational background obtained, the stronger employability belief one has, which would have a possible ripple effect on their job search behaviour. Furthermore, the contradicting findings found for effect of gender and age also provide a novel contribution to existing literature. Specifically, this result might be due to the contextual settings of which this study is conducted. The findings reflect a labour market in which job searchers believe their employability is determined by their competences and capabilities, rather than their gender or age.

Recent advancements such as wearable devices, Brain Computer Interfaces, AI driven neuro assessments facilitate deeper insight into the cognitive abilities and performance of the employees. The managers need to capitalize on this progress to make informed decision and also augment the employee parameters such as performance, engagement, mental health and well-being. The profound influence of neurotechnology in HR practices is worth investigating for adaptation in the organizational process. However, the associated ethical issues such as data privacy needs careful consideration to avoid potential misuse. The chapter explores the nuances of this technology along with remarkable benefits and pitfalls for responsible usage that can contribute to positive work environment and future success.
A Dual Compact Model for Rotor Noise Prediction

Published: October 2024

This paper examines the applicability and robustness of the dual compact thickness noise model for a wide variety of cases. Three major parameters are considered: airfoil, blade planform, and advancing-tip Mach number. The computation results (acoustic pressure time history and spectrum) indicate that generally, dual compact thickness noise is in good agreement with normal thickness noise for all the cases examined in this paper, but the approximation is approximately 24 times faster. The chord length and advancing-tip Mach number have the most impact on the accuracy of the dual compact thickness noise approximation. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the dual compact thickness noise, a scaling factor is proposed to modify the amplitude of dual compact loading vectors for different chord lengths and tip Mach numbers. In addition, loading noise computed by single compact loading and distributed loading is compared in one case. Dual compact loading model is generated by equally dividing the single compact loading at two different chordwise locations. However, dual compact loading result does not have significant advantage over single compact loading in this case.

This work presents results of an experimental investigation into active flow control of a Sikorsky SSC-A09 airfoil undergoing periodic pitching motion in an unsteady free stream using steady, supersonic, leading edge blowing. The airfoil was evaluated at reduced pitching frequencies up to k=0.075 at steady Mach numbers of 0.2 and 0.4, along with phase-locked pitch and Mach oscillations at Mach 0.4±0.06 at Reynolds numbers from 1.5 to 2.9 million. A spanwise row of vortex generator jets (VGJs) located at 10% chord blowing at a jet mass flux ratio (Cq) of 0.0029-0.0040 demonstrated improvements in both CL and CM hysteresis loops and reductions in negative damping. The degree of stall control is a function of reduced frequency, mass flux ratio, and Mach number. Phase-locked Mach oscillations impede stall control at low reduced frequency but facilitate stall control at higher reduced frequency when compared to steady Mach conditions with constant blowing.

A CFD approach using the NASA OVERFLOW code to predict the impact of ice accretion on a Bell 206 tail rotor is evaluated. The basis for the computational study is a test, conducted at the NASA Glenn Icing Research Wind Tunnel. The test acquired thrust and power measurements before, during, and after various ice accretion and blade heating cycles and also acquired ice shape geometric data from three-dimensional laser scans. For the CFD study, the measured ice shapes were utilized to develop computational grids and generate predicted results for thrust and power at various stages of ice accretion. It is shown that the computed results for the degraded performance are significantly different than the measurements. The lack of surface roughness modeling in the calculation is suspected to be a key contributor in the discrepancy.

Published: October 2024

The capability to minimize vibratory loads with trailing edge flaps on a helicopter rotor is explored in this paper. Predictions with computational structural dynamics (CSD) codes coupled to a lifting-line (LL) aerodynamic model and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code are compared. Open and closed-loop controls are explored with both aerodynamic models. Moderate nonlinearities in the CFD/CSD simulation are shown to be present by illustrating that the extracted T-matrix, from open-loop actuation, varies with actuation phase. For example, for a purely linear system, identical T-matrices would be obtained from open-loop phase sweeps with different combinations of positive/negative cosine and sine inputs. However different T-matrices were obtained for these actuation phase permutations for the CFD/CSD simulation. The predictions showed that trailing-edge flaps are capable of simultaneously reducing vibratory thrust, pitch and roll moments by 90%. The rotor performance (L/De) was shown to be reduced for flap inputs which minimize vibratory hub loads; however the predicted performance reduction is less for CFD/CSD than LL/CSD simulations. Calculations were performed to minimize control loads by reducing 3p-5p push-rod loads.

Comparisons of many analysis codes have been made during the course of the UH-60 Airloads Workshops. However, most comparisons involve only a small number of codes, and modeling assumptions are not consistent among all researchers. The Improved Prediction of Rotor Loads TAJI project, funded by the Vertical Lift Consortium (VLC), was initiated in part to perform a rigorous comparison of coupled solutions with the most widely used CSD and CFD codes. Careful comparisons of the structural models were made, and small modeling differences were eliminated. Loosely coupled simulations were made for UH-60A flight and wind tunnel test cases, in addition to other industry helicopter configurations. Flap bending and blade torsion loads are well predicted for all of the cases studied, while edgewise bending and pushrod loads tend to contain higher harmonic load content, which is less well predicted by the analysis. The various code combinations studied yield very similar load predictions when identical modeling assumptions are made. However, certain gaps remain in terms of correlation with test data.

Published: October 2024

Two composite energy absorbers were developed and evaluated at NASA Langley Research Center through multi-level testing and simulation performed under the Transport Rotorcraft Airframe Crash Testbed (TRACT) research program. A conical-shaped energy absorber, designated the conusoid, was evaluated that consisted of four layers of hybrid carbon-Kevlar® plain weave fabric oriented at [+45°°/-45°/-45°/+45°] with respect to the vertical direction. A sinusoidal-shaped energy absorber, designated the sinusoid, was developed that consisted of hybrid carbon-Kevlar® plain weave fabric face sheets, two layers for each face sheet oriented at ±45° with respect to the vertical direction, and a closed-cell ELFOAM® P200 polyisocyanurate (2.0-lb/ft3) foam core. The design goal for the energy absorbers was to achieve average floor-level accelerations of between 25- and 40-g during the full-scale crash test of a retrofitted CH-46E helicopter airframe, designated TRACT 2. Variations in both designs were assessed through dynamic crush testing of component specimens. Once the designs were finalized, subfloor beams of each configuration were fabricated and retrofitted into a barrel section of a CH-46E helicopter. A vertical drop test of the barrel section was conducted onto concrete to evaluate the performance of the energy absorbers prior to retrofit into TRACT 2. The retrofitted airframe was crash tested under combined forward and vertical velocity conditions onto soft soil. Finite element models were developed of all test articles and simulations were performed using LS-DYNA®, a commercial nonlinear explicit transient dynamic finite element code. Test-analysis results are presented for each energy absorber as comparisons of time-history responses, as well as predicted and experimental structural deformations and progressive damage under impact loading for each evaluation level.
