OBJECTIVE
The incidence of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction is on the rise. The optimal treatment strategy for these tumours has not been clearly established. The aim of this study is to analyse the clinical presentations, management and outcomes following surgery in patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction presenting to a tertiary care centre in South India.
METHODS
Retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained database was performed. Data of all patients operated for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction was analysed with regards to surgical management and clinico-pathological outcomes.
RESULTS
Fifty two patients underwent surgery for esophagogastric junction malignancy in our institution from January 2015 to December 2018. Among them, type I, type II and type III tumours contributed to 6, 16 and 30 patients, respectively. Thirty-four patients (65.4%) were male. Mean age of the patients was 57 years. Six patients (11.5%) received neoadjuvant therapy. Fourteen patients (26.9%) were found to have unresectable or metastatic disease during surgery. Six patients (11.5%) underwent multiorgan resection. Mean tumour length was 5.4cm. Number of lymph nodes retrieved ranged from 2 to 25. Majority of the patients had stage 3 disease on histopathological examination. Major postoperative morbidity (Clavien Dindo grade ≥ 3) was seen in 9 patients. Reoperation was required in 4 patients. In-hospital mortality rate was 11.53%. On follow up, locoregional recurrence was documented in 5 patients.
CONCLUSION
Esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma is an aggressive malignancy with high incidence of unresectable or metastatic disease. Majority of patients presented with larger tumours and at an advanced stage of the disease leading to poor outcomes.

Published: November 2020

Foramen tympanicum or Foramen Huschke is a bony defect in the tympanic part of temporal bone that persists after 5 years of age. Due to this, there is a chance of discharge in the ear leading to perisistent otitis externa , herniation of soft tissue into auditory canal and due to the communication there is higher chances of parotid infections to be transmitted into the EAC . The present study was conducted on 40 dried human crania .The tympanic part of temporal bone that forms the inferior wall of external auditory canal was studied to find any developmental defect - foramen tympanicum . Out of all crania studied , foramen tympanicum was observed on right side in two crania and on both sides in one cranium .The persistant foramen can produce clinical complications like fistula formation or herniation of tissues into external auditary canal.. Knowledge of this embryological defect is useful for ENT and Maxillofacial surgeons to avoid complications during operative procedures of this region and also to diagnose rare clinical presentations like persistent or chronic pain in the region of Temporomandibular joint.

Published: November 2020

Papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus is an invasive polyphagous hemipteran that causes enormous damage to different host plants in Nigeria. However, information on the pest’s damage potential and host range is scanty; therefore, the host preference and life cycle of P. marginatus were investigated. Six economic plants: Carica papaya (Caricaceae), Solanum lycopersicum (Soalnaceae), Manihot esculenta (Euphorbiaceae), Abelmoschus esculentus (Malvaceae), Psidium guajava (Myrtaceae) and Tectona grandis (Lamiaceae) were evaluated as food hosts to P. marginatus using free-choice and no-choice tests in screen cages (1.80×0.60×1.50m). The developmental biology was investigated following standard procedures at ambient conditions of 27±20C; 70±5% RH and 12:12 hour photoperiod. Significantly more P. marginatus migrated to and utilized C. papaya (27.5±2.9) and M. esculenta (20.75±1.3) as food host. This pest occurred on other plants in decreasing order; S. lycopersicon (17.0±1.3) > P. guajava (12.5±0.4) > A. esculentus (11.8±1.2) and T. grandis (10.00±1.4) appeared to be the least preferred. The duration of development from egg to adult ranged from 23.52±0.1 to 25.76±0.4 days in the females and 25.91±0.6 to 30.62±0.8 in the males, which passed through more nymphal instars (4) than in females (3). The life cycle of P. marginatus was completed in shorter time on C. papaya than on any other host plants. The differences between male and female adult weights (2.98±0.4mg and 3.90±0.6mg) were not significant. Paracoccus marginatus preferred pawpaw and cassava to the other crops. This information is useful for development of appropriate integrated management programme for the pest.
Resistance of Some Hybrid Maize (Zea mays L.) to Damage by Maize Weevil Sitophilus zeamais (Motsch.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Larger Grain Borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae)
Authors: Adebowale T. J , Osipitan A. A
Published: November 2020

Damage to stored maize grains by Sitophilus zeamais and Prostephanus truncatus is enormous and could be total if the insects are not controlled timely and appropriately. Control of the insects with host plant resistance has advantages over other control measures because of its lasting effect, friendliness to the environment and safety to natural enemies among others. This study assessed host resistance of 11 maize varieties to infestation and damage by S. zeamais and P. truncatus. One hundred gram maize grains each of the maize varieties were weighed into 250 cm3 glass jars and separately infested with twenty, 1-5 days old S. zeamais or P. truncatus. Percentage grain damage, weight loss, adult mortality, grain dust and number of insects were determined and integrated to define the resistance of the maize varieties to the insects. Eight of the 11 maize varieties were either resistant or moderately resistant to damage by S. zeamais and P. truncatus, while three were susceptible. The basis of resistance is antibiosis conferred by the ash, carbohydrate and fat content of the maize grains. The resistance varieties could be planted to mitigate infestation and damage by the insects. The factors conferring resistance can be used as environmentally friendly source of resistance to breed maize grains for resistance to the insects.

La autonomía personal y la autonomía relacional
Authors: Álvarez Silvina
Published: November 2020

Muchos autores que se han ocupado de la autonomía personal parecen identificar la capacidad de autonomía esencialmente con la capacidad de todo agente racional para identificar preferencias y tomar decisiones conforme a las mismas. Estos autores -entre los que podríamos ubicar a C. Nino- prescinden a menudo de ulteriores elementos o condiciones para su ejercicio. Sin embargo, resulta fundamental ahondar en esos aspectos a veces pasados por alto; ahondar principalmente en las opciones y el proceso de formación de preferencias de los agentes, para delinear mejor los aspectos normativos de la autonomía. En este trabajo propongo recuperar un elemento central del concepto que ha sido extensamente desarrollado en la literatura feminista, me refiero al contexto de relaciones que ha dado lugar a la llamada "autonomía relacional". Propongo incorporar esta noción al núcleo conceptual de la autonomía sin renunciar, sin embargo, a otros elementos del concepto entre los que destacaré las "opciones relevantes", es decir, la presencia de cursos de acción, de oportunidades, que la persona es capaz de reconocer como propuestas no solo viables sino legítimas para sí. Para desarrollar esta idea comenzaré por definir la autonomía a través de los que considero los elementos o condiciones centrales del concepto, deteniéndome especialmente en la condición de opciones relevantes. A continuación se abordará la cuestión relativa al modo en que las opciones se perfilan, se construyen y son percibidas por los sujetos. En este punto el estudio se fijará específicamente en el entorno contextual y de relaciones que sirve de trasfondo para la construcción de las opciones, para proponer la noción de opciones relacionales.
Algunas críticas a la concepción epistémica de la democracia deliberativa de Carlos Nino
Authors: Garreta Leclercq Mariano
Published: November 2020

El presente artículo propone algunas objeciones contra la concepción deliberativa de la democracia desarrollada por Carlos Nino. El blanco central de las objeciones es la tesis del filósofo argentino según la cual el valor del debate democrático derivaría, fundamentalmente, de sus virtudes epistémicas, es decir, de su capacidad para elevar las probabilidades de que el sistema político tome las decisiones correctas. Se cuestiona el modo en que el autor presenta su propuesta como una forma de superar las deficiencias que presentarían las concepciones de John Rawls y Jürgen Habermas en el campo de la epistemología moral. Se intentará demostrar que el modelo de deliberación defendido por Nino no resulta aplicable a un contexto de pluralismo razonable filosófico, religioso y moral como el que resulta característico de las democracias liberales contemporáneas. Por último, se ofrece el esbozo de una concepción alternativa, práctica y moral, no epistémica, del valor de los procedimientos democráticos y de la naturaleza de la legitimidad política.
La paradoja de la superfluidad del derecho y el valor epistemológico de la democracia
Authors: Monti Ezequiel
Published: November 2020

En este trabajo, analizo críticamente la tesis de Nino según la cual el valor epistémico de la democracia soluciona la paradoja de la superfluidad del derecho. En este sentido, examino dos cuestiones. Primero, si el valor epistémico de la democracia es una razón para creer que tenemos razones para actuar de conformidad con las leyes democráticas. Segundo, si el valor epistémico de la democracia es una razón para actuar de conformidad con las leyes democráticas independientemente de los méritos del caso y, en su caso, si ello explica adecuadamente la normatividad del derecho.

Published: November 2020

La investigación científica y tecnológica, en México, es presentada, en discursos de los organismos internacionales, en las políticas nacionales, y hasta en las declaraciones de científicos mexicanos, como el factor fundamental para lograr desarrollo y bienestar nacional, sin embargo, esa valoración de la ciencia y la tecnología no se corresponde con lasasignaciones presupuestales que se confieren para promoción de la misma, aunque sí es claro cómo el tipo de actividades que se han organizado para promover la investigación científica y tecnológica se corresponden con determinadas concepciones acerca de lo que es investigación y la caracterización de su estado en el país. Para dar cuenta de ello se examina, en el periodo 1980-2019, el modo en que el financiamiento ha transitado de ciertas actividades de apoyo, proyectos de investigación, etcétera, advirtiendo cómo la evolución del financiamiento, está en relación a la manera en que se concibe el conocimiento científico y tecnológico y su lugar en la educación superior.

Introduction: The Anthropocene as Context and Concept for the Study of Higher Education
Authors: GILDERSLEEVE RYAN EVELY , KLEINHESSELINK KATIE
Published: November 2020

The Anthropocene has emerged in philosophy and social science as a geologic condition with radical consequence for humankind, and thus, for the social institutions that support it, such as higher education. This essay introduces the special issue by outlining some of the possibilities
made available for social/philosophical research about higher education when the Anthropocene is taken seriously as an analytic tool. We provide a patchwork of discussions that attempt to sketch out different ways to consider the Anthropocene as both context and concept for the study
of higher education. We conclude the essay with brief introductory remarks about the articles collected for this special issue dedicated to “The Anthropocene and Higher Education.”
5. The Scandal of the Irrationality of Academia
Authors: MAXWELL NICHOLAS
Published: November 2020

Academic inquiry, in devoting itself primarily to the pursuit of knowledge, is profoundly and damagingly irrational, in a wholesale, structural fashion, when judged from the standpoint of helping to promote human welfare. Judged from this standpoint, academic inquiry devoted to the
pursuit of knowledge violates three of the four most elementary rules of rational problem-solving conceivable. Above all, it fails to give intellectual priority to the tasks of (1) articulating problems of living, including global problems, and (2) proposing and critically assessing possible
solutions—possible social actions. This gross, structural irrationality of academic inquiry stems from blunders of the 18th century French Enlightenment. The philosophes had the brilliant idea of learning from scientific progress how to achieve social progress towards an enlightened
world, but in implementing this idea they made three disastrous blunders. They got the nature of the progress-achieving methods of science wrong; they failed to generalize these methods properly; and most disastrously, they applied these methods to acquiring knowledge about society, and not
directly to solving social problems. These blunders are still inherent in academia today, with dire consequences for the state of the world. All this has been pointed out prominently many times since 1976, but has been ignored.
1. Controversial Speakers, Moral Disagreements, and the Middlebury Moment
Authors: Floyd Kuntz Ashley
Published: November 2020

Abstract Student protests have developed on campuses throughout the country in response to controversial speakers. Overwhelmingly, these protests have been framed as conflicts over the right to free speech and the importance of free inquiry on college campuses. This essay
reframes conflicts like these as moral disagreements over the role of individuals and institutions in producing and disseminating knowledge that supports or undermines justice within a pluralistic, democratic society. Using the specific case of Charles Murray’s visit to Middlebury College
in spring 2017 and drawing insight from social moral epistemology, the essay aims to clarify the moral concerns at stake in clashes over controversial speakers and to identify possibilities to advance the moral aims of institutions of higher education in response to such events.
1. The Neoliberal Logic of Service-Learning
Authors: Snider Bailey Megan
Published: November 2020

Abstract This article investigates the ways in which service-learning manifests within our neoliberal clime, suggesting that service-learning amounts to a foil for neoliberalism, allowing neoliberal political and economic changes while masking their damaging
effects. Neoliberalism shifts the relationship between the public and the private, structures higher education, and promotes a façade of community-based university partnerships while facilitating a pervasive regime of control. This article demonstrates that service-learning amounts
to an enigma of neoliberalism, making possible the privatization of the public and the individualizing of social problems while masking evidence of market-based societal control. Neoliberal service-learning distances service from teaching and learning, allows market forces to shape university-community
partnerships, and privatizes the public through dispossession by accumulation.
3. On Building a University for the Common Good1
Authors: Ingold Tim
Published: November 2020

Abstract Around the world, universities have been converted into agents of globalization, competing for business in the markets of the knowledge economy. To an ever-increasing extent, they are managed like corporations. The result has been a massive
betrayal of the underlying principles of higher education. In both teaching and research, universities have reneged on their founding commitment to the pursuit of truth, and to the service of the common good. With their combination of overpaid managers, staff in precarious employment and indebted
students, they are manifestly unsustainable. Rather than waiting for them to collapse, however, we need to start now to build the universities of the future, and to restore their civic purpose as necessary components of the constitution of a democratic society. This article first sets out
the four principles—of freedom, trust, education and community—on which any university must be built, if it is to meet the challenges of our time. It will then go on to consider the meaning of the common good, and how universities of the future can be of service to it.
DEVELOPMENT AND PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF A SCALE OF NON-THEISTIC SPIRITUALITY: CONTRIBUTIONS OF SPIRITUALITY TO THE LOCUS OF CONTROL
Authors: Da Silva João P. , Pereira Anabela M. S. , Monteiro Sara O. M.
Published: November 2020

The present study aims to compare measures of spirituality and religiosity in the experience of the locus of control. For this purpose a scale of non-theistic spirituality (Spiritual Awareness Scale) was developed to better distinguish spirituality from religiosity. The sample included 279 participants, 86 males (30.8%) and 193 females (69.2%), aged between 17 and 69 (M = 24.42, SD = 9.463). The results showed that the Spiritual Awareness Scale has acceptable psychometric characteristics as also good convergent and practical validity. The findings revealed that spirituality and religiosity affect the perception of the locus of control in opposite ways: the greater the spirituality, the greater the feeling of personal control over life events; and the greater the religiosity, the more the feeling of lack of control. These results raise important questions about the operationalization of both concepts of spirituality and religiosity.
TEACHING PSYCHOLOGY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. CHALLENGES FOR ONLINE COURSES
Authors: Drugas Marius
Published: November 2020

The forced transition to online teaching and learning, caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, was sudden and difficult for many teachers and students who had to adapt to new ways of interacting. Our purpose is to describe some specific challenges and recommendations for online teaching and learning in the field of Psychology, especially for those who never had this kind of experience before. The quality of learning was not an issue identified by current students, but the content quality and the opportunities for social interactions during online courses were revealed as real problems by scientific research. Teachers are expected to act as facilitators, content experts, organizers, or technical helpers, and all these may become sources of frustration. The convenience of online courses for students could diminish the worries connected to learning outcomes, but we have to admit that not all teachers are prepared, willing or able to adapt to online classes.
Innovative business model of exhibition company: modeling methodology testing
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow state University, Simonov K. V.
Published: November 2020

Subject. An innovative transformation of the business model of a company that organizes trade shows is investigated. Purpose. To develop a project concept for an innovative transformation of the business model that strengthens the competitiveness of the exhibition company. Methodology. The methodology for developing the transformation project and methods for supporting the design of analyses are based on the recommendations of researches from St. Gallen University (Switzerland), as well as on the author’s managerial experience in exhibition business. The methodical recommendations and descriptions of 55 successful business model templates are presented in an orderly manner by O. Gassmann, K. Frankenberger, and M. Csik in the book “The Business Model Navigator”. Findings. Three-stage cycle of business model development provided by O. Gassmann’s methodology is made taking into account the economic and technological features of the exhibition business. It led to the concept of an innovative business model with two root innovations: a two-format exhibition consisting of a permanent virtual part and periodic face-to-face sessions, and a value proposition supplemented by business contacts between exhibitors and target visitors. This business model provides a stronger competitive position for organizers of both traditional and virtual exhibitions than the mono-format one. It has the ability to be adapted to external conditions by adjusting economic and technological parameters. It also has the potential to further expand of consumer segment through regional exhibition business and further transform of value proposition by replacing business contacts with transactions between exhibitors and target visitors. Conclusions. Obtained results are of scientific, methodological and practical significance. According to them one can judge what is provided by O. Gassmann’s methodology and how to use the tools of the methodology when designing an innovative transformation of the business model of an exhibition company. The developed concept of innovative transformation, which contributes to the intensification of business contacts between exhibitors and target visitors and strengthens the company’s competitive position, adds to the theory of two-sided exhibition markets.

The article considers the potential of linking the methodology and tools of competition policy with the main mechanisms of strategic management planning aimed at achieving the priority goals of the state, including the processes of goal setting, forecasting and planning the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation and the positive dynamics of its competitiveness. The article analyzes the trends and highlights the principles of deployment of the process of forming a systemic springboard of competition institutions as an element of state economic policy. Special attention is paid to a new spatial strategy containing proposals to counteract inter-regional imbalances and mitigate imbalances in the socio-economic conditions of individual regions. The main trends and problems of development of the national economic space are analyzed. The role of the human factor as a leading specific factor in competitive relations is emphasized. The author analyzes regional development imbalances that are systemic in nature and, of course, have a negative impact on markets and the quality of their competitive environment, as well as macroeconomic indicators. The role of transport infrastructure in reducing the level of interregional differentiation in the socio-economic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation and stimulating competitive relations is updated. The assessment of the level of competition development in the country is given; the work carried out by the state at all hierarchical levels of the economy in the field of competition development, including the influence of the state on business activity. There are two main directions of activation of competitive relations in the framework of strategic planning: methodological and organizational and economic.

Behavioral approach to customization of trading business in modern conditions
Authors:   Synergy University, Khramova A. V.
Published: November 2020

Market changes affect consumer psychology. Consumer behavior is variable. In this study, the author examines some of the main aspects of consumer psychology that help to understand consumer behavior. Consumer behavior includes the psychological processes that consumers go through when recognizing needs, finding ways to meet them, making purchasing decisions (for example, whether to buy a product, and if so, which brand and where), interpreting information, making plans, and implementing these plans (for example, by making comparative purchases or actually purchasing a product).The movement from scarcity to saturation of demand leads to the fact that among a large number of goods and services, the buyer begins to look for something that meets his personal aspirations for self-realization.A well-known point of view used in consumer psychology is behaviorism. This branch of psychology asserts that people’s actions are conditioned by external stimuli. Consumers want individuality. Individuality in consumer psychology is how the possession of a product increases their self - es- teem or satisfies a need caused by external influence.The era of mass production of goods has been replaced by customization, reflecting the change in consumer priorities (instead of the desire to be “like everyone else”, a new generation of consumers values their own individuality). Customization (English to customize - customize, change something, making it more suitable for the needs of a particular consumer). This is achieved by making structural or design changes and individualizing products to meet the needs of specific consumers.Customization in the full sense of the word is not an extension of the product line, but a unique product for a specific consumer, which creates a potential demand for a product category.According to the author, the topic of customization is very ambiguous. For example, in the retail business, the use of customization in relation to mass-market food products is not entirely correct. Customization is considered an ideal way to interact in the “supplier of goods or services - customer” scheme. It provides a competitive advantage by creating a higher value for the customer. The main goal of customization is to create a sense in the consumer that the work is done personally for them and meets their personal needs.
Fuzzy-Neural Control of Hot-Rolling Mill
Authors: Mohamad Khearia , Ali Abduladhem , Nagrajan R.
Published: November 2020

This paper deals with the application of Fuzzy-Neural Networks (FNNs) in multi-machine system control applied on hot steel rolling. The electrical drives that used in rolling system are a set of three-phase induction motors (IM) controlled by indirect field-oriented control (IFO). The fundamental goal of this type of control is to eliminate the coupling influence though the coordinate transformation in order to make the AC motor behaves like a separately excited DC motor. Then use Fuzzy-Neural Network in control the IM speed and the rolling plant. In this work MATLAB/SIMULINK models are proposed and implemented for the entire structures. Simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes. It is found that the proposed system is robust in that it eliminates the disturbances considerably.
Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference Controller for Full Vehicle Nonlinear Active Suspension Systems
Authors: Aldair Ammar , Wang Willam
Published: November 2020

The main objective of designed the controller for a vehicle suspension system is to reduce the discomfort sensed by passengers which arises from road roughness and to increase the ride handling associated with the pitching and rolling movements. This necessitates a very fast and accurate controller to meet as much control objectives, as possible. Therefore, this paper deals with an artificial intelligence Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) technique to design a robust controller to meet the control objectives. The advantage of this controller is that it can handle the nonlinearities faster than other conventional controllers. The approach of the proposed controller is to minimize the vibrations on each corner of vehicle by supplying control forces to suspension system when travelling on rough road. The other purpose for using the NF controller for vehicle model is to reduce the body inclinations that are made during intensive manoeuvres including braking and cornering. A full vehicle nonlinear active suspension system is introduced and tested. The robustness of the proposed controller is being assessed by comparing with an optimal Fractional Order PIλDμ (FOPID) controller. The results show that the intelligent NF controller has improved the dynamic response measured by decreasing the cost function.
A new Technique for Position Control of Induction Motor Using Adaptive Inverse Control
Authors: Ahmed Aamir , Ajangnay Martino , Mohamed Shamboul , Dunnigan Matthew
Published: November 2020

Control of Induction Motor (IM) is well known to be difficult owing to the fact the models of IM are highly nonlinear and time variant. In this paper, to achieve accurate control performance of rotor position control of IM, a new method is proposed by using adaptive inverse control (AIC) technique. In recent years, AIC is a very vivid field because of its advantages. It is quite different from the traditional control. AIC is actually an open loop control scheme and so in the AIC the instability problem cased by feedback control is avoided and the better dynamic performances can also be achieved. The model of IM is identified using adaptive filter as well as the inverse model of the IM, which was used as a controller. The significant of using the inverse of the IM dynamic as a controller is to makes the IM output response to converge to the reference input signal. To validate the performances of the proposed new control scheme, we provided a series of simulation results.

den Äckern in randliche Bereiche in die Nähe ihrer Quellhabitate zurückziehen. Dazu gehören häufige Arten des konventionellen Land­baus, z.B. Pterostichus melanarius, und Arten,
die Beschattung benötigen und vornehmlich aus Wäldern stammen, z.B. Carabus coriaceus. Aus den ökologischen Gruppen der Arten des Offen­landes, z.B. wärmebegünstigtes und oligotrophes
Grasland oder Heiden, sind eine Vielzahl an Arten eingewandert oder haben sich auf den ökologischen Äckern stark vermehrt und ausgebrei­tet. Auch auf Arten aus Grünbrachen trifft dies zu.
Außerdem haben sich charakteristische Arten ökologisch bewirtschafteter Äcker oder fast ausgestorbene Arten, die früher in Äckern häufig waren, neu angesiedelt (z.B. Zabrus tenebrioides)
und zum Teil stark vermehrt (z.B. Carabus auratus). Ferner können Arten des feuchten Grünlandes in nasseren Jahren die ökologischen Äcker nutzen, wenngleich sie sich dort nicht
dauerhaft ansiedeln. Im speziellen Fall der Äcker des Ritzerauhofes können die Arten vor allem aus dem südwest­lichen Landschaftsteilen, die an trockene, offene Grünländer angrenzen
oder über die hohen Bereiche des Duvenseebachtals aus dem Nordosten einwandern, während die Wälder im Nord­westen und die nassen Bereiche des südöstlichen Duvenseebaches als Barrieren wirken.
Die Ent­wicklung der Artengemeinschaften im Untersuchungsgebiet hängt daher stark von den Einwanderungspforten und dem ökologischen Zustand der umliegenden Ökosysteme ab.
Für die Zukunft ist eine weitere Einwanderung von Arten aus den mesotrophen Ökosystemen der Umgebung zu erwarten. Dies ist aus Sicht des Artenschutzes besonders vorteilhaft,
da diese Gruppe sehr artenreich ist und außerdem eine Vielzahl gefährdeter Arten aufweist. Die Entwicklungs­analyse lässt erkennen, dass die Artenvielfalt auf den ökologisch
bewirtschafteten Äckern von den Rändern zum Zentrum fortschreitet. Der Gradient zwischen Randbereichen und Zentralbe­reichen wird im Laufe der Sukzession zunehmend geringer,
was sich auch positiv auf die Arten­vielfalt der Landschaft auswirkt. Danach hat der ökologische Landbau nicht nur eine aus Ge­sichtspunkten des Naturschutzes positive Wirkung
auf die Ackerflächen selbst, sondern strahlt auch auf die angrenzenden Ökosysteme aus.

We present the first L-band (2.8–4.1 μm) spectroscopy of κ Andromedae b, a ∼20 M
Jup companion orbiting at 1″ projected separation from its B9-type stellar host. We combine our Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) Arizona Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (ALES) integral field spectrograph data with measurements from other instruments to analyze the atmosphere and physical characteristics of κ And b. We report a discrepancy of ∼20% (2σ) in the L′ flux of κ And b when comparing to previously published values. We add an additional L′ constraint using an unpublished imaging data set collected in 2013 using the LBT Interferometer/LMIRCam, the instrument in which the ALES module has been built. The LMIRCam measurement is consistent with the ALES measurement, both suggesting a fainter L-band scaling than previous studies. The data, assuming the flux scaling measured by ALES and LMIRCam imaging, are well fit by an L3-type brown dwarf. Atmospheric model fits to measurements spanning 0.9–4.8 μm reveal some tension with the predictions of evolutionary models, but the proper choice of cloud parameters can provide some relief. In particular, models with clouds extending to very low pressures composed of grains ≤1 μm appear to be necessary. If the brighter L′ photometry is accurate, there is a hint that subsolar metallicity may be required.
La notion de race. Un regard actuel de la biologie et de la génétique
Authors: Heyer Évelyne , Gouyon Pierre-Henri
Published: November 2020

La systématique est la science qui produit des systèmes permettant d’ordonner la biodiversité et de nommer les catégories ainsi produites. Ces catégories, familles, genres, espèces, races, etc., issues d’un processus de différenciation plus ou moins continu, sont, par nature, floues. Elles rendent compte imparfaitement d’une réalité : l’existence de lignées plus ou moins divergentes. Dans l’espèce humaine, comme dans toutes les autres, des différences existent. Leur existence ne poserait pas de problème scientifique si elle n’engendrait pas une hiérarchisation et une essentialisation qui ne sont pas du ressort de la biologie.
Une naissance du racisme moderne au XV e siècle
Authors: Schaub Jean-Frédéric
Published: November 2020

Notre sensibilité à l’égard du racisme n’a jamais été aussi aiguë que depuis que les lois Jim Crow, le nazisme et l’apartheid ont été surmontés, depuis que les empires coloniaux occidentaux ont, pour l’essentiel, été démantelés. L’attention portée aux manifestations actuelles de racisme nourrit l’idée que le racisme serait une forme politique spécifique de notre temps. Or, l’histoire peut proposer des généalogies du racisme qui l’enracinent dans des passés de longue durée.
Science des races et discours anti-« racistes » au musée de l’Homme (1930-1960)
Authors: Blanckaert Claude
Published: November 2020

Jugée aujourd’hui irrationnelle, disqualifiée comme un « mythe fallacieux », la notion de race garde toute sa valeur explicative en France comme en Europe, au Japon ou aux États-Unis, à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. À l’Institut d’ethnologie, Paul Rivet enseigne l’anthropologie somatique, laquelle a pour but d’« établir la diagnose des différentes races ». À sa suite, le musée de l’Homme voudra dresser un inventaire de la diversité humaine, mais sans « recourir au racisme ». Entendons, en le condamnant comme une « idéologie » pernicieuse dont une science « neutre », impartiale, peut et doit faire justice. La race sans le racisme ? Le bien-fondé de cette enquête semble peu suspecté. Il répond d’ailleurs d’un héritage ancré dans l’histoire déjà ancienne du Jardin des Plantes. Critiquée quoique toujours admise, la rhétorique de la race représente, avec le recul, le point aveugle du processus de légitimation de l’ethnologie savante. Ces paradoxes méritent examen.
L’idéologie du « grand remplacement » : race et religion dans le nationalisme birman
Authors: Lavialle-Prélois Julie
Published: November 2020

Cet article propose une lecture de la discrimination des Arakanais musulmans, ou Rohingyas, puis de son actualisation et de son étendue à l’ensemble des musulmans, notamment à travers le recours à la mystique du « grand remplacement ». Nous nous intéresserons à la fabrication d’un rapport social de domination à partir du religieux et à la consubstantialité race-religion qui est au fondement de la définition de l’altérité radicale du musulman et ce, en interaction avec la formulation d’une identité nationale birmane autochtone.
Défendre un groupe social illégitime. Les avocats dans la lutte contre l’islamophobie
Authors: Mohammed Marwan
Published: November 2020

L’existence d’une règle protectrice des minorités n’implique pas nécessairement qu’elle soit investie par la puissance publique. Différents motifs de racisme ou de discrimination sont reconnus par le droit, mais qu’en est-il de leur prise en compte par la société civile, le pouvoir politique et par les tribunaux ? Il faut distinguer la règle et la légitimité de son usage. La reconnaissance politique d’un préjudice social influe sur le comportement des acteurs impliqués par la prévention, la manifestation et la répression de ce tort. Or, qu’il s’agisse du mot qui le désigne, de la réalité qu’il recouvre, du statut symbolique des victimes et des organisations qui les défendent, il apparaît que le phénomène islamophobe est considérablement délégitimé dans la France contemporaine. Cet article prend pour objet cette dialectique entre légitimité et légalité à partir d’une série de questionnements portant sur la production, la mobilisation et l’application du droit antidiscrimination lorsque les victimes présumées sont musulmanes.
Chapitre 1. Bioética y crisis global medioambiental
Authors: León Correa Francisco Javier
Published: November 2020

Les causes éthiques de la crise écologique globale que nous traversons sont abordées, avec l’expansion de la raison instrumentale typique de la modernité, et les critiques issues de l’éthique écologique et du féminisme. De la bioéthique, avec la prétention d’une rationalité universelle, elle peut aider à résoudre la crise éthique qui est à la base de la crise écologique : l’utilitarisme et le néolibéralisme radical ne nous servent pas, et peut-être le fondement de nos devoirs éthiques envers la nature. et d’autres êtres vivants peuvent être dans les propositions de l’éthique dialogique, du néo-aristotélisme et du personnalisme.
Chapitre 5. L’épigénétique : de la santé durable aux droits fondamentaux durables
Authors: Byk Christian
Published: November 2020

L’épigénétique invite, par ses caractères spécifiques, à réfléchir sur une diversité de questions touchant aux politiques publiques dans une logique de « santé durable » mais aussi de « respect durable » des droits fondamentaux. Ainsi, préserver un environnement durable, c’est inscrire la perspective d’une vie humaine plus longue dans une logique de meilleure qualité de vie, de « santé durable » mais c’est aussi une affaire de politique publique. Et,si les politiques publiques ont aussi une incidence directe sur les libertés fondamentales, d’autres facteurs jouent aussi à cet égard un rôle déterminant accentuant la spécificité des données génétiques.
Chapitre 8. Desarrollo del derecho a un ambiente saludable en la legislación y jurisprudencia peruana. Análisis preliminar
Authors: Pautrat Lucila O.
Published: November 2020

Depuis les années 60 jusqu’à aujourd’hui, la plupart des États du monde ont adopté des lois visant à réduire les impacts de la dégradation de l’environnement. Cependant, l’affirmation du droit de chaque personne à un environnement sain et adéquat pour la vie en tant que Droit de l’Homme a constitué une étape importante pour son incorporation dans les cadres constitutionnels et les systèmes juridiques des pays ; dans les politiques, normes et programmes des organisations internationales ; ainsi que dans la réglementation des activités économiques, en favorisant le développement du Droit de l’Environnement. De manière complémentaire, la poursuite judiciaire des cas de violation du droit fondamental à un environnement sain et adéquat pour la vie constitue non seulement une source importante de jurisprudence constitutionnelle au niveau national et international, mais elle contribue également à élargir les champs théoriques et conceptuels de ce droit, ainsi qu’à clarifier son interdépendance et son articulation avec d’autres principes. Au Pérou, le droit à un environnement équilibré et adéquat est d’abord inscrit dans la Constitution politique de 1979, puis reformulé dans la Constitution de 1993. Le présent texte offre un bref aperçu de l’évolution du droit à un environnement sain et adéquat pour la vie en tant que droit fondamental dans la législation et la jurisprudence de l’État péruvien.
