FORENSIC IDENTIFICATION IN THE INVESTIGATION OF PENITENTIARY CRIMES
Authors: Кубанов В.В. , Шарова Ю.А.
Published: October 2023

В статье анализируются вопросы использования криминалистической идентификации в раскрытии, расследовании и предупреждении преступлений, совершаемых в условиях учреждений уголовно-исполнительной системы. Указаны факторы пенитенциарной среды, детерминирующие количественное преобладание идентификационных актов, проводимых в отношении живых лиц, над таковыми в отношении материальных объектов. Рассмотрены теоретические основы идентификации как частной криминалистической теории и метода поисково-познавательной деятельности. Отмечено, что при расследовании преступлений, совершаемых в условиях уголовно-исполнительной системы, криминалистическая идентификация приобретает особую значимость, обусловленную спецификой совершенного преступления. Сделан вывод о том, что наиболее информационно емким следовым комплексом, который впоследствии становится объектом приложения идентификационного метода, характеризуются последствия побегов, совершаемых из учреждений уголовно-исполнительной системы. Указано на отсутствие ведомственного нормативного акта, регулирующего порядок сбора, хранения и транспортировки биологического материала в исправительных учреждениях. Предложено концептуальное содержание данного нормативного акта.

The article analyzes the issues of the forensic identification usage in the disclosure, investigation and prevention of crimes committed in the conditions of penal institutions. The factors of the penitentiary environment determining the quantitative predominance of identification acts carried out in relation to living persons over those in relation to material objects are indicated. The theoretical foundations of identification as a private forensic theory and a method of search and cognitive activity are considered. It is noted that during the investigation of crimes committed in the conditions of the penal institution, criminalistic identification acquires special significance due to the specifics of the crime committed. It is concluded that the most informative trace complex, which subsequently becomes the object of the application of the identification method, is characterized by the consequences of escapes committed from the penal institutions. The absence of a departmental regulatory act regulating the procedure for collecting, storing and transporting biological material in correctional institutions is indicated. The conceptual content of this normative act is proposed.
Wie geeignet sind Push-Pull-Lüftungsgeräte für eine energieeffiziente Wohnungslüftung?
Authors: Solcher Oliver
Published: October 2023

Eine aktuelle Untersuchung zur Marktsituation der Wohnungslüftung (Bild 1) zeigt, dass für die dezentrale Wohnungslüftung mehrheitlich paarweise, alternierend arbeitende Lüftungsgeräte (Pendellüfter oder Push-Pull-Lüftungsgeräte) eingesetzt werden. Eine Montage in den Außenwänden ohne Luftleitungsnetz macht diese Lüftungslösung nicht nur für Einfamilienhäuser, sondern auch für den Einsatz in Wohnungen attraktiv. Eine Untersuchung an einem bauaufsichtlich zugelassenen Gerätepaar soll zeigen, welchen windinduzierten Drücken diese fassadenseitig montierten Lüftungsgeräte ausgesetzt sein können und ob ein energieeffizienter Betrieb unter diesen Bedingungen gegeben ist.
Relationship Between L2 Proficiency and Psychological Traits With Self-Assessment Bias Among L2 Speakers
Authors:   Toyo University, Iwamoto Noriko
Published: October 2023

Self-assessment is sometimes used to assess second language (L2) skills, but it has a degree of error that is possibly caused by L2 learners themselves, resulting from their L2 proficiency level and psychological traits. This study, involving 196 Japanese university students, calculated the self-assessment bias of L2 speakers using many-facet Rasch measurement. Correlation analysis explored the relationship between self-assessment bias and L2 speaking proficiency with psychological traits including self-esteem, English speaking anxiety, and English speaking motivation. The results showed that self-assessment bias was related to the belief in effortism, in which a person correlates ability with intensity of effort, and the Dunning-Kruger effect, in which high-proficiency learners tend to underestimate and low-proficiency learners tend to overestimate their abilities. Specifically, overestimation related to low proficiency prevents L2 learners from accurately assessing their performance, whereas underestimation related to L2 learners’ belief that they lacked the effort to improve their speaking skills. 自己評価は時折第二言語技能の評価に使用されるが、ある程度の誤差が生じる。おそらくこの誤差には、第二言語 (L2) 習熟度や心理的特徴など、学習者自身によってもたらされる誤差が含まれる。本研究では196名の日本人大学生を対象に、多相ラッシュ分析を使ってL2スピーキング自己評価のバイアスを測定した。そして相関分析を用いて、自己評価バイアス、スピーキング習熟度、心理的特徴（自尊心、L2スピーキングの不安とモチベーション）の関係を調査した。その結果自己評価バイアスは、努力主義の信念とダニング・クルーガー効果と関連があることが明らかとなった。特に英語習熟度の低い学習者は自身のスピーキングパフォーマンスを過大評価する傾向があり、一方でスピーキング技能を伸ばす努力が不足していると考える学習者は過小評価する傾向にあることがわかった。
No evidence for contextual cueing beyond explicit recognition
Authors: Meyen Sascha , Vadillo Miguel A. , von Luxburg Ulrike , Franz Volker H.
Published: October 2023

Many studies claim that visual regularities can be learned unconsciously and without explicit awareness. For example in the contextual cueing paradigm, studies often make claims using a standard reasoning based on two results: (1) a reliable response time (RT) difference between repeated vs. new stimulus displays and (2) a close-to-chance sensitivity when participants are asked to explicitly recognize repeated stimulus displays. From this pattern of results, studies routinely conclude that the sensitivity of RT responses is higher than that of explicit responses—an empirical situation we call Indirect Task Advantage (ITA). Many studies further infer from an ITA that RT effects were driven by a form of recognition that exceeds explicit memory: implicit recognition. However, this reasoning is flawed because the sensitivity underlying RT effects is never computed. To properly establish a difference, a sensitivity comparison is required. We apply this sensitivity comparison in a reanalysis of 20 contextual cueing studies showing that not a single study provides consistent evidence for ITAs. Responding to recent correlation-based arguments, we also demonstrate the absence of evidence for ITAs at the level of individual participants. This lack of ITAs has serious consequences for the field: If RT effects can be fully explained by weak but above-chance explicit recognition sensitivity, what is the empirical content of the label “implicit”? Thus, theoretical discussions in this paradigm-and likely in other paradigms using this standard reasoning-require serious reassessment because the current data from contextual cueing studies is insufficient to consider recognition as implicit.
Preparing liquid crystalline dispersion of high aspect ratio carbon nanotubes

Published: October 2023

We successfully prepare the surfactant-assisted carbon nanotube (CNT) liquid crystal (LC) dispersion with double-walled CNTs (DWCNTs) having a high aspect ratio (~1378). Compared to dispersions of lower aspect ratio CNTs, the transition concentrations from isotropic phase to biphasic state, and from biphasic state to nematic phase are lowered, which is consistent with the predictions of Onsager theory. An aligned CNT film was prepared from the DWCNT dispersion by a simple bar-coating method. Regardless of the higher aspect ratio, the order parameter obtained from the film is comparable to that from CNTs with lower aspect ratios. This finding implies that precise control of the film formation process, including a proper selection of substrate and deposition/drying steps, is crucial to maximize CNT-LC utilization.

The article deals with the cutting and packing problems of irregular shape objects, which consist in finding the most compact way to place a given set of objects of arbitrary geometry inside a certain limited space. These problems belong to the class of ­NP-hard discrete optimization problems for which there are no methods of polynomial complexity to obtain exact solutions, so in practice they are most often solved approximately using heuristic and metaheuristic optimization methods. When placing objects of irregular shape, it is additionally necessary to take into account the geometry of objects to determine the correctness of their placement relative to each other. Existing methods of analyzing the geometry of objects and the formed placement scheme, based on the use of phi-functions and the construction of a hodograph of a vector function of dense placement, theoretically provide the possibility of obtaining an accurate solution, but require the use of time-consuming methods of nonlinear optimization. Therefore, in order to increase the speed of packing a large number of irregular-shaped objects, their shape is transformed by voxelization, followed by combining the resulting set of voxels into orthogonal polyhedra. To improve the quality of the solutions obtained, the paper proposes a greedy heuristic for the placement of orthogonal polyhedra, which implements the choice of the best orientation option for the object being placed, in which the formed packing will be the densest in comparison with other available orientation options for this object. The analysis of the effectiveness of this greedy heuristic on the problems of irregular cutting and packing of three-dimensional objects is carried out. Computational experiments have shown that the proposed greedy heuristic provides very fast high-quality solutions. Additionally, the results of testing the greedy placement heuristics using a genetic algorithm to optimize solutions to the packing problem are presented.

Published: October 2023

In the last decade, the introduction of artificial intelligence methods in industry has been accelerating. The development of deep learning algorithms and the emergence of the ability to store and process large amounts of information make it possible to quickly and efficiently automate tasks that previously could only be solved by people – employees of enterprises, and the results obtained not only correspond to human cognitive abilities, but often surpass them. An interesting example of a routine task that can be automated using computer vision methods is the task of segmenting stones on conveyors and warehouses of mining enterprises to ensure quality control of raw materials and finished products. The purpose of this work is to develop an algorithm for segmenting stones on conveyors and warehouses. To achieve this goal, a brief historical review of approaches to solving the described problem was carried out, and a study was made of the application of the Mask R-­CNN architecture to solving the problem of stone segmentation. The training dataset included 1000 augmented images from 100 crushed stone photos taken on a mining conveyor belt. The results obtained in the IoU metric exceeded 83 %, and in the Accuracy metric – 89 %, which provides high-quality automatic continuous visual quality control of raw materials or finished products. The resulting segmentation maps can serve as a good basis for determining granulometric characteristics, quality categories that are important in the mining industry, timely detecting flakiness on conveyors and segregation in finished product warehouses in real time.
Metodología para localizar la Zona de Convergencia Intertropical usando velocidad de viento
Authors: Bravo Villegas Jorge David , Portilla Yandun Jesus
Published: October 2023

La localización de la Zona de Convergencia Intertropical (ITCZ) se puede establecer en función de la convergencia de corrientes de vientos alisios provenientes del hemisferio norte y sur. Esta zona tiene una gran relevancia climática pues incide directamente en la distribución de precipitaciones en las regiones ecuatoriales y tropicales a escala global. En este trabajo se desarrolla una metodología para localizar la ITCZ, empleando un algoritmo de convergencia en el campo vectorial de velocidades de viento obtenido del modelo de reanálisis atmosférico ERA Interim. Esta metodología resulta única, pues parte de un concepto robusto de análisis de gradientes y consigue un rango de la localización de la ITCZ en períodos de tiempo registrados históricamente, lo cual no se ha encontrado en estudios previos. La metodología consiste en una serie de algoritmos individuales que permiten limpiar, segmentar y depurar los datos de convergencia hasta obtener mapas que simplifican su visualización empleando MATLAB®. Se obtienen como resultado rangos estadísticos de la localización de la ITCZ en cada mes de 41 años de datos disponibles, patrones de desplazamiento meridional, y también mapas de contraste entre la localización mensual acumulada y la localización en meses de años en los que se manifestó El Niño Oscilación del Sur (ENSO) para mostrar una posible correlación.

Aim. In this study, we present a new method for treating cases of rectovaginal fistula that will be added to the medical literature. In this study, we examine two patients with low vaginal fistula from their initial clinic visit until the end of their follow-up period. Methods and materials. Two patients who had undergone a normal vaginal delivery one year prior presented to our clinic with complaints of offensive vaginal discharge and distressing symptoms, including stool leakage and vaginal flatulence. They consented to experience this new technique for the treatment of their low vaginal fistula. Results. Gebrel-Mostafa technique has numerous beneficial effects, including the elimination of the need for a second operation to remove the plastic Avis, which functions as a seton. In addition, it is characterized by a short duration of operation, the inability to form an abscess or hematoma, and a rapid return to normal life. Avis plastic acts as an auto-tightening and auto-cutting material, and the patient or doctor can tighten it. Finally, it is less expensive, and there is no requirement to use the labial Martius flap. Conclusion. This (Gebrel-Mostafa) technique yields positive outcomes with no significant morbidity and is feasible to perform. The absence of incontinence, abscess formation, and sepsis in the wound may be attributable to the wide range of antibiotics administered to the patients.

Published: October 2023

In May 2024, WHO Member States will adopt a new Pandemic Agreement at the 77th World Health Assembly to address pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. The Agreement's effectiveness will rely on state parties' adherence to their obligations. Based on 54 expert consultations and a rigorous review of existing monitoring bodies that identified best practices across several treaties and sectors, the report provides a "draft zero" Terms of Reference (ToR) for an Independent Monitoring Committee for the Pandemic agreement. The purpose of the Committee would be to verify the timeliness, completeness, and accuracy of Member State reporting, using existing sources to triangulate evidence where accuracy is in question. Made up of independent experts, supported by a small independent secretariat within the pandemic agreement Conference of the Parties, and with adequate "no strings attached" financing, the Committee would have access to a broad range of information sources and be able to publish its findings regularly and without interference. The report also explores technical, organizational, operational, political, and financial aspects of independence. It builds on examples from other treaty and global health monitoring mechanisms and details how these aspects of independence could be applied in practice to the Committee.

The social uses of the online chatroom as a boundary object for the acquisition of academic literacy in pandemic times
Authors: Hunma Aditi , Arend Moeain , Nomdo Gideon
Published: October 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for ongoing pedagogic changes in the higher education landscape, especially with the use of online modes of delivery. The digital shift triggered questions around student engagement and the need to ensure that, despite physical distancing, students did not feel alienated from online learning spaces. This was part and parcel of our ethics of care prerogative. In the context of teaching academic literacy online, our teaching experiences have prompted us to interrogate how we understand student participation and sense-making in online spaces during the pandemic. This is particularly important for us, as we view academic literacy as a set of socially embedded practices rather than decontextualised skills (Street, 1983). We argue that during the Covid-19 pandemic, the online chatroom as a boundary object (Bowker & Star, 2000) was recruited as a proxy for the traditional classroom. We focus on how this boundary object was recruited by us as academic literacy lecturers in our first-year academic literacy course to realise certain features of our pedagogy of discomfort. Through a critical discourse analysis of written interactions in the chatroom, we explore how we as lecturers constrained the multiple social uses of the chatroom in order to imbue it with a particular function, a sense-making space for the acquisition of academic literacy in the context of ‘Emergency Remote Teaching’.
From 'business as usual' to 'business unusual': Online academic literacy development for education students during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Authors: Namakula Halima , Kadenge Emure , Blessed-Sayah Sarah
Published: October 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic brought about restrictions on physical interactions, which in many ways changed how we live and work. Due to these restrictions, writing centres at universities and other educational institutions around the world had to transition from traditional ways of supporting students to online or remote methods. To save the academic year, Wits University’s teaching and learning and other student support programmes, including the Wits School of Education Writing Centre (WSoE WC), were compelled to adopt Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning (ERTL). Transitioning to ERTL meant1 reimagining student support in an online mode. This paper explores how the WSoE WC transitioned from face-to-face student consultations to offering online academic literacy support and development. The paper highlights the adaptation process in the transition, particularly how the WSoE WC dealt with the varying complexities accompanying ERTL. The main question guiding this exploration is: How did the WSoE WC negotiate the move to online academic literacy support and development during the Covid-19 pandemic? Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the director of the WSoE WC, who steered the adoption of the online mode and the peer tutors who worked directly with students online. The findings show that transitioning to the online mode during ERTL was difficult and complex. However, collective and individual agency enabled continued student academic literacy2 support despite disruption and change. This paper contributes to the ongoing conversation around the role of writing centres at universities in South Africa and beyond, particularly during disruptions.
An academic facilitator’s commentary on teaching in a post-Covid-19 South Africa
Authors: Marais Lorette
Published: October 2023

The importance of the academic writing facilitator’s role – part of which involves the facilitator’s capacity to master, and to enable students’ confident navigation of increasingly digitised learning platforms1 – has been widely noted in academic circles. Covid-19’s aftermath has provided further impetus for the acceleration of higher education institutions’ research output on the successes and shortcomings of curricular learning designs. The waves of the pandemic have also resulted in educators and students being challenged to craft innovative and creative ways to continue facilitating the learning process for the benefit of their students. The initial ‘teething problems’ accompanying the online migration of course content and sessions meant that the poorest students suffered doubly, for reasons including lack of access to technology, as well as poor signal/connectivity in rural areas. It is against this backdrop that this piece, phenomenological by nature, sets out to explore how and when meaningful relationships between students and facilitators might be forged for the sake of fostering meaningful, productive collaborations between facilitators and students enrolled in tertiary academic literacy courses. The overarching research question is how an educator’s personal investment in, and commitment to the academic writing process might be evidenced by way of positive student feedback, generated and sourced from student evaluations.2 The reader is invited to consider whether or not a correlation exists between the input of an experienced educator who displays genuine interest in her students’ engagement in the course and positive student feedback. It is suggested that display of emotion (including, but not limited to exhibiting a sense of humour) corresponds positively with students’ overall satisfaction with the course material and presentation thereof.

Can Cosmologically Coupled Mass Growth of Black Holes Solve the Mass Gap Problem?
Authors: Gao Shi-Jie , Li Xiang-Dong
Published: October 2023

Observations of elliptical galaxies suggest that black holes (BHs) might serve as dark energy candidates, coupled to the expansion of the Universe. According to this hypothesis, the mass of a BH could increase as the Universe expands. BH low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the Galactic disk were born several gigayears ago, making the coupling effect potentially significant. In this work, we calculate the evolution of BH binaries with a binary population synthesis method to examine the possible influence of cosmologically coupled growth of BHs, if it really exists. The measured masses of the compact objects in LMXBs show a gap around ∼2.5–5 M
⊙, separating the most-massive neutron stars from the least-massive BHs. Our calculated results indicate that considering the mass growth seems to (partially) account for the mass gap and the formation of compact BH LMXBs, alleviating the challenges in modeling the formation and evolution of BH LMXBs with traditional theory. However, critical observational evidence like the detection of intermediate-mass BH binaries is required to test this hypothesis.
Detecting High-energy Neutrino Minibursts from Local Supernovae with Multiple Neutrino Observatories
Authors: Kheirandish Ali , Murase Kohta
Published: October 2023

Growing evidence from multiwavelength observations of extragalactic supernovae (SNe) has established the presence of dense circumstellar material in Type II SNe. Interaction between the SN ejecta and the circumstellar material should lead to diffusive shock acceleration of cosmic rays and associated high-energy emission. Observation of high-energy neutrinos along with the MeV neutrinos from SNe will provide unprecedented opportunities to understand unanswered questions in cosmic-ray and neutrino physics. We show that current and future neutrino detectors can identify high-energy neutrinos from an extragalactic SN in the neighborhood of the Milky Way. We present the prospects for detecting high-energy neutrino minibursts from SNe in known local galaxies, and demonstrate how the network of multiple high-energy neutrino detectors will extend the horizon for the identification of high-energy SN neutrinos. We also discuss high-energy neutrino emission from SN 2023ixf.
Turbulence Properties of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections in the Inner Heliosphere: Dependence on Proton Beta and Flux Rope Structure

Published: October 2023

Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) have low proton beta across a broad range of heliocentric distances and a magnetic flux rope structure at large scales, making them a unique environment for studying solar wind fluctuations. Power spectra of magnetic field fluctuations in 28 ICMEs observed between 0.25 and 0.95 au by Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe have been examined. At large scales, the spectra were dominated by power contained in the flux ropes. Subtraction of the background flux rope fields increased the mean spectral index from −5/3 to −3/2 at kd

i
≤ 10−3. Rope subtraction also revealed shorter correlation lengths in the magnetic field. The spectral index was typically near −5/3 in the inertial range at all radial distances regardless of rope subtraction and steepened to values consistently below −3 with transition to kinetic scales. The high-frequency break point terminating the inertial range evolved approximately linearly with radial distance and was closer in scale to the proton inertial length than the proton gyroscale, as expected for plasma at low proton beta. Magnetic compressibility at inertial scales did not show any significant correlation with radial distance, in contrast to the solar wind generally. In ICMEs, the distinctive spectral properties at injection scales appear mostly determined by the global flux rope structure while transition-kinetic properties are more influenced by the low proton beta; the intervening inertial range appears independent of both ICME features, indicative of a system-independent scaling of the turbulence.

We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the 02es-like type Ia supernova (SN) 2022ywc. The transient occurred in the outskirts of an elliptical host galaxy and showed a striking double-peaked light curve with an early excess feature detected in the ATLAS orange and cyan bands. The early excess is remarkably luminous with an absolute magnitude ∼ − 19, comparable in luminosity to the subsequent radioactively driven second peak. The spectra resemble the hybrid 02es-like SN 2016jhr, which is considered to be a helium shell detonation candidate. We investigate different physical mechanisms that could power such a prominent early excess and rule out massive helium shell detonation, surface 56Ni distribution, and ejecta–companion interaction. We conclude that SN ejecta interacting with circumstellar material (CSM) is the most viable scenario. Semianalytical modeling with MOSFiT indicates that SN ejecta interacting with ∼0.05 M
⊙ of CSM at a distance of ∼1014 cm can explain the extraordinary light curve. A double-degenerate scenario may explain the origin of the CSM, by tidally stripped material from either the secondary white dwarf or disk-originated matter launched along polar axes following the disruption and accretion of the secondary white dwarf. A nonspherical CSM configuration could suggest that a small fraction of 02es-like events viewed along a favorable line of sight may be expected to display a very conspicuous early excess like SN 2022ywc.

Le trouble de personnalité limite (TPL) est un trouble complexe au sein duquel l’autoagressivité physique et psychique occupent une place importante. L’autoagressivité peut se manifester chez les adolescents et, plus particulièrement, chez ceux qui sont susceptibles de développer un TPL. Vingt-six adolescents provenant d’une école secondaire ont complété des questionnaires autorapportés évaluant l’automutilation, la prise de risque, les traits de personnalité limite en émergence, les symptômes du TPL, l’impulsivité et l’estime de soi. Les résultats révèlent que lorsque l’on contrôle pour l’impulsivité, les liens entre l’automutilation et les traits de personnalité limite en émergence, l’automutilation et les symptômes associés au TPL, la prise de risque et les traits de personnalité limite en émergence ne perdurent pas. De plus, il n’y a pas de lien entre les symptômes du TPL et la prise de risque. Enfin, la sévérité des symptômes du TPL prédit de plus fortes manifestations d’autoagressivité psychique. Il n’y a pas de lien entre l’émergence de traits de personnalité limite et l’autoagressivité psychique. Les limites et forces de l’étude sont discutées.
La douleur somatique comme opportunité de création. Ce que nous apprend Shiki
Authors: Ly-Thanh Huê , Martin-Mattera Patrick
Published: October 2023

Les artistes nous précèdent, disait Freud. Et comme l’étudia Lacan, avec Joyce ou avec le Hamlet de Shakespeare, le processus de création peut donner une issue neuve aux mécanismes intimes des diverses structures psychiques. Que nous apprend Shiki, créateur du haïku moderne, au début de l’ère Meiji ? Cet article vise à en suivre le processus. Atteint de tuberculose spinale, perclus de douleurs, l’écriture, pour Shiki, s’écoule comme une humeur corporelle. À partir de cette expérience vécue des mots remis en scène, des mots devenus équivalents aux bruits du monde, s’ouvre la voie du haïku shikien. Elle part de la douleur, de sa sensation à sa perception, elle tente de la capter par le travail de la lettre. Se localisant au niveau des objets voix et regard, elle y opère alors un travail de métamorphose. Cette aventure de la création fut son éthique de vie jusqu’à la mort.
Contrôle interne et management des risques : de la compliance à la stratégie
Authors: Chauvey Jean-Noël , Naro Gérald
Published: October 2023

Lors des deux dernières décennies, l’ensemble des dispositifs destinés à anticiper et prévenir les risques économiques et financiers se sont fortement développés. Dans ce contexte, différents référentiels et méthodes de gestion des risques ont vu le jour, incarnant l’espoir d’une meilleure maîtrise des aléas du monde économique, et ce tant au niveau des entreprises qu’au niveau sociétal. Parmi les dispositifs les plus courants, le contrôle interne est surtout orienté vers la sécurisation du reporting financier et vers la conformité vis-à-vis des lois et règlements. Progressivement, a émergé la nécessité d’élargir le pilotage des risques à d’autres dimensions, dans une perspective stratégique et non plus seulement technique. L’ Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), qui incarne ce besoin, a suscité de nombreux travaux académiques. Cependant, ceux-ci laissent sous silence les modalités concrètes de mise en œuvre et de fonctionnement de l’ERM, ainsi que ses liens avec les autres dispositifs, en particulier le contrôle interne. Ce travail de recherche est basé sur l’étude de cas d’une entreprise d’assurance ayant mis en œuvre depuis une vingtaine d’années une cartographie des risques répondant à la fois à des préoccupations de compliance, et à des besoins liés à sa réflexion stratégique. L’observation de cette entreprise permet de décrire en profondeur un dispositif d’ERM et de mieux comprendre son fonctionnement et son articulation avec la fonction de contrôle interne.
À propos du contenu et de l’histoire du manuscrit 26 de la cathédrale de Vic : un témoin inconnu des Chronica Muzarabica (chapitre 19) et du Provinciale Visigothicum
Authors: Varela Rodríguez Joel
Published: October 2023

Le manuscrit Vic, Arxiu i Biblioteca Episcopal, 26 ( xi  s.) transmet le chapitre 19 des Chronica Muzarabica (éd. Gil) et une liste des sièges épiscopaux wisigoths (généralement connus sous le nom de Provinciale Visigothicum ) comme une sorte d’appendice à la troisième partie des Moralia in Iob de Grégoire le Grand. Ce texte des Moralia présente des caractéristiques de plusieurs traditions textuelles différentes, probablement parce que des manuscrits ibériques et français contenant des parties de diverses de l’œuvre de Grégoire ont été utilisés comme modèles. Dans cet article, j’analyse la position du fragment des Chronica Muzarabica et la liste des sièges épiscopaux dans leurs traditions textuelles respectives. Le fragment des Chronica Muzarabica est manifestement indépendant des autres fragments du chapitre 19, dont l’existence est bien connue ( Visio Taionis ) et dérive d’un modèle commun à un autre exemplaire inconnu à Tortosa, Arxiu Capitular, 30 ( xii  s.). D’autre part, la liste des sièges épiscopaux contient quelques indications qui permettent de penser que ce texte provient de Carthagène ou de ses environs, et certaines modifications qui y sont introduites répondent probablement aux intérêts politiques d’Oliba, évêque de Vic (1018-1046), sous les auspices duquel ce manuscrit a été composé.
Dimensions narrative et rhétorique de l’ironie en Gn 37–38 ; 42–44 et Mc 1,1–8,30
Authors: Wauters Audrey
Published: October 2023

Dans un récit, l’ironie est un procédé basé sur une supériorité du lecteur sur les personnages quant au savoir. Il n’en va pas autrement des récits bibliques, où se rencontrent maintes intrigues jouant sur un décalage entre le savoir détenu respectivement par le lecteur et par un ou des personnages, et cela, au bénéfice du premier. Mais comment l’ironie intervient-elle dans le dispositif narratif de ces récits, et que vient-elle y faire ? Voilà les questions principales que cette recherche explore avec les outils de la narratologie dans deux récits très différents.
Où est notre Constitution ?
Authors: Baranger Denis
Published: October 2023

Où est la Constitution ? La réponse semblait autrefois simple : dans le texte constitutionnel, c’est-à-dire la loi constitutionnelle adoptée par le peuple en 1958. Désormais, la réponse semble plus délicate. S’est-elle déplacée dans le bloc de constitutionnalité tel qu’il est interprété par le juge ? Mais, dans ce cas, celui-ci est-il un support adéquat pour une constitution démocratique ? Quelle place faut-il, par ailleurs, accorder aux pratiques politiques ayant cours dans nos institutions ? Force est de reconnaître que nous sommes désorientés, s’agissant de savoir où réside notre Constitution. Pour retrouver notre boussole, ne faut-il pas nous en rapporter aux principes fondateurs de notre régime politique ?
Faire la loi sous l’ombre portée de notre Constitution
Authors: Belloubet Nicole , Thiers Éric
Published: October 2023

Le respect de la Constitution est une préoccupation permanente lorsqu’on écrit la loi, tant en amont de la discussion au Parlement que pendant celle-ci. À partir de deux expériences, celle d’une ministre et celle d’un administrateur de l’Assemblée nationale, on mesure le poids que la Constitution fait peser sur chaque acteur qui contribue à la confection de la loi. Référence qui suscite la révérence, la Constitution impose une contrainte juridique dans un processus qui reste éminemment politique. Tout est alors question d’articulation entre ces deux pôles – le droit et la politique – qui peuvent soit se rejoindre, soit entrer en contradiction.
Novel codynamics of the HIV-1/HTLV-Ⅰ model involving humoral immune response and cellular outbreak: A new approach to probability density functions and fractional operators
Authors: Gafel Hanan S. , Rashid Saima , Elagan Sayed K.
Published: October 2023

Both human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and human T-lymphotropic virus type Ⅰ (HTLV-Ⅰ) are retroviruses that afflict CD4$ ^{+} $ T cells. In this article, the codynamics of within-host HIV-1 and HTLV-Ⅰ are presented via piecewise fractional differential equations by employing a stochastic system with an influential strategy for biological research. It is demonstrated that the scheme is mathematically and biologically feasible by illustrating that the framework has positive and bounded global findings. The necessary requirements are deduced, ensuring the virus's extinction. In addition, the structure is evaluated for the occurrence of an ergodic stationary distribution and sufficient requirements are developed. A deterministic-stochastic mechanism for simulation studies is constructed and executed in MATLAB to reveal the model's long-term behavior. Utilizing rigorous analysis, we predict that the aforesaid model is an improvement of the existing virus-to-cell and cell-to-cell interactions by investigating an assortment of behaviour patterns that include cross-over to unpredictability processes. Besides that, the piecewise differential formulations, which can be consolidated with integer-order, Caputo, Caputo-Fabrizio, Atangana-Baleanu and stochastic processes, have been declared to be exciting opportunities for researchers in a spectrum of disciplines by enabling them to incorporate distinctive features in various temporal intervals. As a result, by applying these formulations to difficult problems, researchers can achieve improved consequences in reporting realities with white noise. White noise in fractional HIV-1/HTLV-Ⅰ codynamics plays an extremely important function in preventing the proliferation of an outbreak when the proposed flow is constant and disease extermination is directly proportional to the magnitude of the white noise.
