Metabolites of Serratula L. and Klasea Cass. (Asteraceae): Diversity, Separation Methods, and Bioactivity
Authors: Olennikov Daniil N.
Published: December 2022

Serratula L. and Klasea Cass. are two systematically related genera of the family Asteraceae, which are distributed in most of the Eurasia area and are used as food and colorants and in traditional medicines as a drug. Since 1967, 261 metabolites have been isolated and identified from five Serratula species and 21 Klasea species. This review provides information on the chemodiversity of the terpenes, penolics, lipids, and other compounds found in both genera and their occurrence in individual species. Among the studied species, the most studied are S. coronata subsp. coronata, K. centauroides, and K. centauroides subsp. centauroides. This review also provides information on the methods of extraction, isolation, and analysis of ecdysteroids and flavonoids as the most valuable metabolites. For the first time, we provide general information about the biological activity of these extracts and individual compounds. The data presented in this review demonstrate the prospects of Serratula and Klasea species as sources of bioactive metabolites.

Published: December 2022

Machinery traffic and animal trampling can deform the soil and, consequently, impair soil pore functioning. This study aimed to evaluate how soil structure affects the compressibility, physical properties and air permeability of a Typic Paleudalf under forest, pasture and eucalyptus. Soil samples with preserved structure were used to determine soil physical (bulk density, porosity, degree of water saturation at 33 kPa-tension, air permeability) and mechanical properties (soil deformation, precompression stress, compressibility index). After these evaluations, each soil sample was fragmented, sieved, and the metal rings filled with structureless soil, and underwent the same determinations as the samples with preserved structure. For loads greater than the precompression stress (load greater than 200 kPa), soil with non-preserved structure had the largest deformation. An increase in bulk density decreased macropores linearly (R2 = 0.77 and 0.87, respectively, to preserved and non-preserved soil structure) and air flow exponentially. The soil with preserved structure was less susceptible to further compaction. Air flow was greatest in soils with lower bulk density, microporosity and water saturation degree, and a high volume of macropores. Soil structure (preserved and non-preserved) had more significative differences in microporosity, compressibility index, soil deformation, and bulk density at the end of the compression test.

Published: December 2022

New technologies allow for the in situ monitoring of nutrients, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus, in water systems at increasingly higher temporal frequencies. These technologies allow for the near-continuous monitoring of water quality, which can potentially provide new perspectives on temporal variations in nutrient concentrations and transport dynamics, ultimately supporting more targeted and sustainable water management. The current study investigated the utility of monitoring nitrate-N and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) in situ using wet analytical chemistry for one year at 2-h intervals in a small agricultural watershed located in northwestern Ohio. While we saw large variability in the estimated nutrient loads due to daily variations in the high-temporal resolution nutrient concentrations, the nutrient loads were fundamentally driven by high-flow events for this agricultural watershed. Concentration–discharge relations were then developed to help identify how nutrients are stored and released over time scales ranging from low-flow seasonal responses to event-driven high-flow storms. The patterns in the concentration–discharge relations indicated a potential shift in the timing of the mobilization responses for SRP at the event scale over the course of the year. These results suggest that SRP-targeted management practices would need to intercept the dominant delivery pathways of phosphorus in the watershed, such as the tile drainage runoff, to help reduce phosphorus loading. For nitrate-N, patterns in the concentration–discharge relations revealed an increased mobilization response, which was seen during the growing season with low-flow conditions, indicating the potential role of biological uptake instreams across the lowest flows and concentrations of the year. Collectively, high-frequency temporal nutrient data monitored over individual events and across seasons offer guidance for management decisions while allowing us to track progress toward water quality goals.
The Influence of Capital Deepening on Regional Economic Development Gap: The Intermediary Effect of the Labor Income Share
Authors: Wang Dan , Qiao Zhen
Published: December 2022

At the same time as economic development, the imbalance problem in regional economic development is prominent, which hinders sustainable economic development, especially in China. Explaining the causes of unbalanced regional economic development is an important scientific problem in current economic research. Here, this study takes China as the empirical research area and uses China’s inter-provincial panel data to deeply analyze the impact of capital deepening on the regional economic development gap. As indicated by this study, after a series of potential factors (e.g., industrial proportion, foreign direct investment, and per capita GDP) of the regional development gap are controlled, the capital deepening measured using perpetual inventory can have a strong explanatory power for the regional development gap, i.e., the greater the value of capital deepening, the more significant the regional development gap will be. According to the above conclusion, the effect arising from capital deepening on the regional development gap is still significant, even after the Soviet Aid Project is employed as the current instrumental variable of capital deepening, as well as after the data from the world sample are estimated The study further finds that capital deepening does not directly affect the regional development gap but indirectly affects the regional development gap by affecting the labor income share. Therefore, a higher labor share can narrow the regional development gap.

Self-regulation is relevant to understanding the teaching–learning process; however, few studies have focused on teachers’ self-regulatory processes. The aim of this study was to characterize and analyze the relationship between teachers’ and students’ self-regulation. The design was cross-sectional and correlational. The sample consisted of 1481 participants (students n = 1123 and teachers n = 358) from 25 secondary schools in 17 cities of the Biobío region of Chile. In students, self-regulatory strategies were found to be deployed only half of the time; women were more self-regulated, and there was no difference in the levels of self-regulation according to grade. Teachers, it was found, almost always self-regulate their teaching, and the variables that influence their self-regulation are motivation, gender, and age, explaining between 25% and 28% of the variance. Positive and small correlations were evidenced between teacher role disposition with learning performance (rho = 0.10, p < 0.05) and teacher role self-evaluation with both learning performance and self-evaluation of learning in their students (rho = 0.12, p < 0.05). This study provides relevant evidence and proposes changes that could have a positive impact on teacher training and improve current teaching–learning practices in Chile, which would contribute to the quality of education.
Urban Planning and Sustainable Storm Water Management: Gaps and Potential for Integration for Climate Adaptation Strategies
Authors: Leone Antonio , Grassini Laura , Balena Pasquale
Published: December 2022

While climate change urges cities to define appropriate strategies for climate adaptation, urban planning practices are still unable to encompass a broader understanding of hydraulic hazards and to exploit the mitigation potential of nature-based solutions (NBS) for stormwater management. This inability is particularly deep in the Italian context, where the integration of climate adaptation strategies within urban planning is very limited; thus, one of the planner’s overriding needs is to determine where NBS can be most effective. The objective of this paper is to identify key drivers and tools for the introduction of hydrological resilience assessments and sustainable storm water management in urban planning practices, as a contribution to climate adaptation strategies. Through a case study in the city of Bari, the paper proposes a method for identifying the most suitable urban areas for implementing NBS, i.e., areas where NBS are able to intercept runoff. On the other hand, the same approach allows one to evaluate in advance the impact of urban planning choices, or rather of the planned land use change. Finally, the planning tools that may favor the adoption of a NBS approach in urban planning are analyzed, with particular reference to the territorial landscape plan of the Apulia region and urban regeneration plans.

Published: December 2022

Shared parking improves the utilization rate of parking spaces by taking advantage of temporal and spatial differences, which is conducive to alleviating parking problems. From the perspective of bounded rationality, this paper studies the factors that influence the decision behavior of parking space owners and car travelers (non-residential drivers who have parking needs near residential areas) in sharing parking spaces. Prospect theory was used to analyze the bounded rational behavior characteristics of parking space owners and car travelers, and a value function model with rental price as the reference point was established. Combined with the survey data of the Xinhuangcheng district in Nanchang City, China, the shared parking space rental price that satisfied both parties was analyzed in this case study. The results of the study show that factors such as personal characteristics and behavioral habits affect the decision behavior of parking space owners and car travelers, and that rental price is a key factor. When the rental price of parking spaces is close to the maximum price desired by the owner, the owner feels the benefit and is willing to share the private parking space, but when the rental price differs greatly from the maximum price desired by the owner, the owner feels the loss and is not willing to share the parking space. From the survey data, it can be concluded that the ideal rental price of shared parking spaces around the survey area is 5 CNY/h. This paper provides a theoretical basis and guidance for the formulation of shared parking policies, which can help solve parking problems.
Crowd Logistics: A Survey of Successful Applications and Implementation Potential in Northern Italy
Authors: Bortolini Marco , Calabrese Francesca , Galizia Francesco Gabriele
Published: December 2022

Nowadays, last-mile logistics represents the least efficient stage of supply chains, covering up to 28% of the total delivery cost and causing significant environmental emissions. In the last few years, a wide range of collaborative economy business models has emerged across the globe, rapidly changing the way services were traditionally provided and consumed. Crowd logistics (CL) is a new strategy for supporting fast shipping services, entrusting the management of the last-mile delivery to the crowd, i.e., normal people, who agree to deliver goods to customers located along the route they have to travel, using their own transport means, in exchange for a small reward. Most existing studies have focused on evaluating the opportunities and challenges provided by CL through theoretical analysis and literature reviews, while others have proposed models for designing such emerging distribution networks. However, papers analyzing real successful applications of CL worldwide are lacking, despite being in high demand. This study attempted to fill this gap by providing, at first, an overview of real CL applications around the globe to set the stage for future successful implementations. Then, the implementation potential of CL in northern Italy was assessed through a structured questionnaire delivered to a panel of 214 people from the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna (Italy) to map the feasibility of a crowd-based system in this area. The results revealed that about 91% of the interviewees were interested in using this emerging delivery system, while the remaining respondents showed some concern about the protection of their privacy and the safeguarding of the goods during transport. A relevant percentage of the interviewees were available to join the system as occasional drivers (ODs), with a compensation policy preference for a fixed fee per delivery rather than a variable reward based on the extra distance traveled to deliver the goods.

Published: December 2022

Nowadays, most of the world’s population lives in urban centres, where air quality levels are not strictly checked; citizens are exposed to air quality levels over the limits of the World Health Organization. The interaction between the issuing and atmospheric sources influences the air quality or level. The local climate conditions (temperature, humidity, winds, rainfall) determine a greater or less dispersion of the pollutants present in the atmosphere. In this sense, this work aimed to build a math modelling prediction to control the air quality around the campus of IPBeja, which is in the vicinity of a car traffic zone. The researchers have been analysing the data from the last months, particle matter (PM10 and PM2.5), and meteorological parameters for prediction using NARX. The results show a considerable increase in particles in occasional periods, reaching average values of 135 μg/m3 for PM10 and 52 μg/m3 for PM2.5. Thus, the monitoring and prediction serve as a warning to perceive these changes and be able to relate them to natural phenomena or issuing sources in specific cases.
SDSM: Secure Data Sharing for Multilevel Partnerships in IoT Based Supply Chain
Authors: Yu Chuntang , Zhan Yongzhao , Sohail Muhammad
Published: December 2022

Symmetric encryption algorithms enable rapid encryption of data in IoT based supply chains, which helps to alleviate the concerns of supply chain participants about privacy disclosure when sharing data. However, in supply chain management where multilevel partnerships exist universally, a pure symmetric encryption scheme cannot provide efficient data sharing and fine-grained access control. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes a secure data sharing scheme (SDSM) for IoT based supply chains by combining blockchain and ciphertext-based attribute cryptography. This scheme supports the enforcement of fine-grained access control for different levels of partnerships. In addition, to identify partnerships, we propose a metric based on the historical transaction facts on the blockchain, where the level of partnerships among participants is automatically calculated by smart contracts. Finally, we introduce personalized attributes of participants in the ciphertext-based attribute encryption algorithm to support the construction of access policies that include partnerships, allowing for more fine-grained access control. Security analyses and simulation experiments show that our proposed scheme is secure, effective, and practical.
Edge Computing-Based VANETs’ Anonymous Message Authentication

Published: December 2022

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have high requirements for real-time data processing and security of message authentication. In order to solve the computing power asymmetry between vehicles and road side units (RSUs) in VANETs under high-density traffic, accelerate the processing speed of message authentication, and solve the problems of high computational overhead and long message authentication time caused by the use of bilinear pairing encryption technology in similar message-batch-authentication schemes, we propose introducing the concept of edge computing (EC) into VANETs and using idle nodes’ resources to assist the RSU in quickly authenticating messages to achieve computing power load balancing under multiple traffic flows. We propose introducing the idea of edge computing (EC) into VANETs and using idle nodes’ resources to assist RSUs in quickly authenticating messages. This scheme performs two identity-based message authentications based on the identity signature constructed by elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). One of them is the batch authentication of the vehicle sending messages by the RSU-authenticated vehicles with free resources, as temporary edge computing nodes (TENs), and the other is the authentication of the temporary TEN messages by the fixed-edge-node RSUs. The resources of the TEN are used to reduce the computational burden of RSUs and message authentication time, thereby improving the efficiency of system authentication of messages. We performed a security analysis of the scheme to prove its security properties and compared it with other schemes in terms of performance. The experimental results show that our scheme has a transmission overhead of 2400 bytes when there are four TENs, and the number of verification message requests reaches 20, which outperforms other methods. The gap will be more evident as the numbers of TEN and message verification requests increase.
A Gaussian-Shaped Fuzzy Inference System for Multi-Source Fuzzy Data
Authors: Zhang Yun , Qin Chaoxia
Published: December 2022

Fuzzy control theory has been extensively used in the construction of complex fuzzy inference systems. However, we argue that existing fuzzy control technologies focus mainly on the single-source fuzzy information system, disregarding the complementary nature of multi-source data. In this paper, we develop a novel Gaussian-shaped Fuzzy Inference System (GFIS) driven by multi-source fuzzy data. To this end, we first propose an interval-value normalization method to address the heterogeneity of multi-source fuzzy data. The contribution of our interval-value normalization method involves mapping heterogeneous fuzzy data to a unified distribution space by adjusting the mean and variance of data from each information source. As a result of combining the normalized descriptions from various sources for an object, we can obtain a fused representation of that object. We then derive an adaptive Gaussian-shaped membership function based on the addition law of the Gaussian distribution. GFIS uses it to dynamically granulate fusion inputs and to design inference rules. This proposed membership function has the advantage of being able to adapt to changing information sources. Finally, we integrate the normalization method and adaptive membership function to the Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) model and present a modified fuzzy inference framework. Applying our methodology to four datasets, we confirm that the data do lend support to the theory implying the improved performance and effectiveness.

Published: December 2022

Currently used pesticides are rapidly metabolised and excreted, primarily in urine, and urinary concentrations of pesticides/metabolites are therefore useful biomarkers for the integrated exposure from all sources. Pyrethroid insecticides, the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos, and the herbicide glyphosate, were among the prioritised substances in the HBM4EU project and comparable human biomonitoring (HBM)-data were obtained from the HBM4EU Aligned Studies. The aim of this review was to supplement these data by presenting additional HBM studies of the priority pesticides across the HBM4EU partner countries published since 2000. We identified relevant studies (44 for pyrethroids, 23 for chlorpyrifos, 24 for glyphosate) by literature search using PubMed and Web of Science. Most studies were from the Western and Southern part of the EU and data were lacking from more than half of the HBM4EU-partner countries. Many studies were regional with relatively small sample size and few studies address residential and occupational exposure. Variation in urine sampling, analytical methods, and reporting of the HBM-data hampered the comparability of the results across studies. Despite these shortcomings, a widespread exposure to these substances in the general EU population with marked geographical differences was indicated. The findings emphasise the need for harmonisation of methods and reporting in future studies as initiated during HBM4EU.

The efficiency of constructed floating wetlands (CFWs) in their ability to remove agrochemicals (nutrients and pesticides) is here investigated in a series of pilot-scale systems. Four experimental CFWs were designed and constructed; three of them were planted with the aquatic plant species Lemna minor, Azolla pinnata and Eichhornia crassipes. The fourth did not contain any plants and was used as the control. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of CFW containing aquatic macrophytes in the reduction of pesticides and nutrients, under field conditions. The CFWs operated continuously from May 2021 to September 2021, and their removal efficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus ions, and five commonly used pesticides were examined. The CFW systems were fed daily with agricultural wastewater which was prepared by mixing a fertilizer and predetermined doses of pesticides. The hydraulic residence time was kept at 14 days. Samples were collected on a weekly basis from both the influent and the effluent of each experimental tank, and were subsequently analyzed in the laboratory. HPLC-DAD and Ion Chromatography were implemented for sample analysis following a very simple sample preparation. Reductions for nutrient ranged from no reduction to 100% removal, whereas for pesticides these varied from no reduction to 98.8% removal, indicating that these systems can be used as efficient and low-cost pollution control technologies for agrochemical wastewater treatment. Significant reduction for certain pesticides was also observed in the algae control tank, thus, proving the efficiency of algae in organic pollution reduction, and recognizing the limitations of aquatic plant use in decontamination.

Published: December 2022

Voiding dysfunction is a common but bothersome problem in both men and women. Urethral sphincter botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections could serve as an option in refractory cases. This study analyzed the efficacy and outcome predictors of the injections in patients with functional, non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction. Patients who received urethral sphincter BoNT-A injection for refractory voiding dysfunction due to detrusor underactivity (DU) or urethral sphincter dysfunction were retrospectively reviewed. A successful outcome was defined as a marked improvement as reported in the global response assessment. The study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of urethral sphincter BoNT-A injections and measured the changes in urodynamic parameters after the procedure in the patients. A total of 181 patients including 138 women and 43 men were included. The overall success rate was 64%. A lower success rate was noted in patients with DU compared to those with urethral sphincter dysfunction in both genders. In the multivariable analysis, recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) and bladder voiding efficiency (BVE) were positive predictors for a successful outcome, while DU was a negative predictor. Urethral sphincter BoNT-A injection is an effective treatment for refractory non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction. Baseline BVE and history of recurrent UTI positively predict a successful outcome. DU is a negative outcome predictor.

The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) has adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic by 2030. Several factors related to the non-suppression of HIV, including interruptions of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and opportunistic infections could affect and delay this projected epidemic goal. Human T-Cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) appears to be consistently associated with a high risk of opportunistic infections, an early onset of HTLV-1 and its associated pathologies, as well as a fast progression to the AIDS phase in co-infected individuals, when compared to HIV-1 or HTLV-1 mono-infected individuals. In Gabon, the prevalence of these two retroviruses is very high and little is known about HTLV-1 and the associated pathologies, leaving most of them underdiagnosed. Hence, HTLV-1/HIV-1 co-infections could simultaneously imply a non-diagnosis of HIV-1 positive individuals having developed pathologies associated with HTLV-1, but also a high mortality rate among the co-infected individuals. All of these constitute potential obstacles to pursue targeted objectives. A systematic review was conducted to assess the negative impacts of HTLV-1/HIV-1 co-infections and related factors on the elimination of HIV/AIDS by 2030 in Gabon.

Published: December 2022

Senecavirus A (SVA) is a causative agent for vesicular disease in swine, which is clinically indistinguishable from other vesicular diseases of swine including foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Recently, it was reported that buffalo in Guangdong, China were experiencing clinical symptoms similar to FMD including mouth ulcers and lameness tested positive for SVA. The objective of this study was to determine the susceptibility of cattle (Bos taurus) to SVA infection. Initial in vitro work using the PrimeFlow assay demonstrated that bovine cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from cattle were susceptible to SVA infection. Subsequently, six colostrum-deprived Holstein calves were challenged with SVA intranasally. No vesicular lesions were observed after challenge. Serum, oral, nasal, and rectal swabs tested for SVA nucleic acid did not support significant viral replication and there was no evidence of seroconversion. Therefore, demonstrating cattle from this study were not susceptible to experimental SVA infection.
The Transmission Dynamics of a Compartmental Epidemic Model for COVID-19 with the Asymptomatic Population via Closed-Form Solutions
Authors: Naz Rehana , Torrisi Mariano
Published: December 2022

Unlike previous viral diseases, COVID-19 has an “asymptomatic” group that has no symptoms but can still spread the disease to others at the same rate as symptomatic patients who are infected. In the literature, the mass action or standard incidence rates are considered for compartmental models with asymptomatic compartment for studying the transmission dynamics of COVID-19, but the quarantined adjusted incidence rate is not. To bridge this gap, we developed a Susceptible Asymptomatic Infectious Quarantined (SAIQ) model with a Quarantine-Adjusted (QA) incidence to investigate the emergence and containment of COVID-19. COVID-19 models are investigated using various methods, but only a few studies take into account closed-form solutions. The knowledge of closed-form solutions simplifies the construction of the various epidemic indicators that describe the epidemic phenomenon and makes the sensitivity analysis to variations in the data under consideration possible. The closed-form solutions of the systems of four nonlinear first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are established. The Epidemic Peak (EP), Force of Infection (FOI) and Rate of Infection (ROI) are the important indicators for the control and prevention of disease. We examined these indicators using closed-form solutions and particular parameter values. Different disease control scenarios are thoroughly examined. The four scenarios to analyze COVID-19 propagation and containment are (i) lockdown, (ii) quarantine and other preventative measures, (iii) stabilizing the basic reproduction rate to a level where the pandemic can be contained and (iv) containing the epidemic through an appropriate combination of lockdown, quarantine and other preventative measures.

Published: December 2022

The potential for sexually dimorphic innate immune responses to respiratory disease was evaluated, where eight steers and seven heifers (280 ± 4 kg) were subjected to a viral–bacterial respiratory disease challenge utilizing bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1; intranasal; 1 × 108 PFU/nostril) and Mannheimia haemolytica (MH; intratracheal; 1.3 × 107 CFU/head) administered 72 h later. Body temperature was lesser in heifers than steers (p < 0.01). There was a sex × time interaction (p = 0.05) for white blood cells where heifers had reduced concentrations compared with steers at −72 and 0 h but greater concentrations from 36 to 60 h post-MH. Concentrations of neutrophils were lesser in heifers compared to steers from 0 to 4 h, and from 8 to 12 h (p = 0.03). Lymphocytes were greater in heifers compared to steers at 12 h and from 36 to 60 h post-MH (p < 0.01). The neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio was lesser in heifers compared to steers from 2 to 24 h and at 48 h post-MH (p < 0.01). Monocytes were greater in heifers compared to steers from 24 to 60 h post-MH (p < 0.01), while eosinophils were greater in heifers compared to steers at 48 and 60 h (p < 0.01). Serum IL-4 was lesser in heifers compared to steers at 0 h and from 2 to 72 h post-MH challenge (p = 0.02). Non-esterified fatty acid concentrations were lesser (p < 0.01) in heifers compared to steers from 2 to 4 h post-MH challenge. Urea nitrogen concentrations were greater (p < 0.01) in heifers than steers at 36 h post-MH challenge. Data from this study reveal distinct differences in the acute phase response following a respiratory disease challenge where steers produced an early response, while the response in heifers appeared to be delayed.
Aspects of Foreign Object Detection in a Wireless Charging System for Electric Vehicles Using Passive Inductive Sensors
Authors: Hentschel Uwe , Labitzke Fiete , Helwig Martin , Winkler Anja , Modler Niels
Published: December 2022

If the energy transfer for charging the traction battery of an electric vehicle takes place wirelessly and with inductive components, the active area of the charging system must be monitored for safety reasons for the presence or intrusion of metallic objects that do not belong to the charging system. In the past, different concepts for such monitoring have been described. In this paper, passive inductive sensors are used and characterized based on practical measurements. With this type of sensor, the detectability of metallic foreign objects is very closely related to the characteristics of the magnetic field of the charging system. By optimizing the geometry of the sensor coils, the authors show how foreign object detection can be improved even in areas with low excitation of the foreign objects and the sensor coils by the magnetic field. For this purpose, a charging system, with which charging powers of up to 10 kW have been realized in the past, and standardized test objects are used. Furthermore, the thermal behavior of the metallic test objects was documented, which in some cases heated up to about 300 °C and above in a few minutes in the magnetic field of the charging system. The results show the capability of passive inductive sensors to detect metallic foreign objects. Based on the measurements shown here, the next step will be to simulate the charging system and the foreign object detection in order to establish the basis for a virtual development and validation of such systems.
VERIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NORMS FOR THE INTERNAL MICROCLIMATE OF A CORNER ROOM
Authors: Malyavina E. , Landyrev S.
Published: December 2022

The article considers the buildings of medical and preventive, children's educational and educative institutions. The resistance to heat transfer of the windows is not increased for such buildings at the last change in the norms of thermal protection in the Russian Federation in 2018. In this regard, it is important to check compliance with the requirements of regulatory documents for radiation temperature and asymmetry of the radiation temperature at the boundary of the serviced area of the premises of such buildings. A literary review has shown that much attention is paid to these parameters in the world. Since the heat transfer resistance of the windows is much less than that of the outer walls, the influence of the outside air temperature on the temperature of the inner surface of the window is much greater than that of the walls. The proposed article considers a corner room of an intermediate floor with windows in the outer walls, occupying 35% of the area of the external enclosing structures in Belgorod. The building is serviced by air heating. A comparison of the radiation temperature and the asymmetry of the radiation temperature with the same indicators in the ordinary room considered earlier showed that with windows of the specified size, the influence of the second window significantly reduces the radiation temperature and increases the values of the local asymmetry of the radiation temperature. At the same time, during the estimated winter period optimal and permissible requirements of the regulatory document are not met at the border of the serviced area of the premises

Si ce terme dit bien que l'on ne peut plus faire sans ces pratiques, que l'on ne peut plus ignorer la jeunesse qui prend sa place malgré tout, il contient des limites certaines.

Travaillant sur un équipement de diffusion de musiques amplifiées et sur son implantation locale autant que sur son implication (forcée) dans les aléas des politiques publiques culturelles, l'auteur constate que l'émergence n'est pas une position de revendication, mais bel et bien un signe de précarité.
Du prosélyte et du pouvoir. Logiques d'exclusion et logiques d'intégration dans la pensée rabbinique
Authors: Attias Jean-Christophe
Published: December 2022

Proselitismo y poder.

Lógicas de exclusión y lógicas de integración en el pensabiento rabinico.

La conversión al judaismo no es unicamente la adhesion a un credo, es tambien la entrada en de una historia, la participación en una memoria colectiva, la integración en una comunidad nacional. De manera mas precisa, la entrada del prosélito en Israel maltrata inevitablemente la vision genealógica de la identidad judia. Es como un centro candente, como un polo de resistencia que es dificil de sobrepasar. La dificultad se exprime abiertamente a partir del momento en que se trata de saber si el prosélito puede asumir, dentro de la comunidad que lo acoge, una función especifica que implique el reconocimiento de un privilegio o de una precedencia, incluso la atribución de un poder sobre otros miembros de la comunidad. ¿Un prosélito puede ser rey o Sumo Sacerdote? Aún mas, en tanto que colectividad depositaria de un mensaje revelado ¿Israël puede investir a un prosélito de una autoridad de proféta? ¿O de la de sabio? ¿Es que su minusvalia genealógica puede no tener ninguna repercusión con relación a la Revelación o su saber con respecto a los textos sagrados?
Les Sarrasins en vallée Française ? Genèse et perception contemporaine d'un récit légendaire en Cévennes

Saracens in French Valley ?

Genesis and Modern Perception of a Fegenday Tale in Cévennes. The Saracen legend in French valley (Cévennes) illustrates a very common type of story in Southern France, both in erudites spoken and written tradition. It combines battle relation, toponymie interpretation and legendary lineage. Its origin goes back to the 19th century in a time of religious rivalry, which is not without consequence on its modern perception.

Desencuentros y desdichas de los proyectos para un Museo de la inmigración en Bélgica

Desde hace quince años, y a pesar de diversas iniciativas, los intentos por crear en Bélgica un Museo de la Inmigración se han enfrentado a numerosos obstáculos tanto materiales como políticos. Los últimos proyectos parecen privilegiar el aspecto social y cultural de una «Casa de las Migraciones» y poner en entre dichos la dimensión que le corresponde a la historia y a la memoria, lo cual implicaria la reunión de colecciones documentales, su clasificación, almacenaje y su explotación, todos aspectos fundamentales para cualquier museo. En 2005, tanto el porvenir de este proyecto como su contenido siguen siendo muy inciertos...
Beetween Oblivion and Representation. Commemorating Contemporary Migration History in Germany

Entre oubli et représentation : commémorer l’histoire contemporaine des migrations en Allemagne.

Les discours concernant la mémoire et l'immigration sont tous deux très présents dans la société allemande contemporaine. Cependant, ils ne se croisent que rarement. Les débats sur la mémoire et la commémoration sont essentiellement centrés sur le passé national-socialiste de l'Allemagne, alors que la migration est plutôt vue comme un sujet social et politique d'actualité. L'article analyse et illustre les points de rencontre potentiels entre les deux thèmes. Il donne des exemples de discours publics et de représentations institutionnelles quant à l'histoire des migrations en Allemagne.

Memorias en debates, memorias en trabajo : la historia de la inmigración a través del prisma de las iniciativas locales

Frente al envite, hasta ahora ampliamente afirmado, de otorgar todo su lugar a la inmigración dentro de la memoria colectiva, no cabe considerar únicamente a los movimientos de fondo que operan a nivel nacional. También es necesario tomar en cuenta las evoluciones que se esbozan en un marco regional, y hasta en el local. De allí la idea de interrogar, tomando en cuenta todas sus diversidades, distinctos tipos de iniciativas públicas que intentan, localmente, manifestar, conmemorar o poner en debate la historia de la inmigración.

Entre mémoires institutionnelles et mémoires personnelles : quelle mémoire partagée de la migration portugaise en France ?

La confrontation de pratiques commémoratives de l'émigration, au Portugal, et des représentations de la migration parentale chez des jeunes franco-portugais, met en évidence l'occultation d'une histoire récente. L'auteur questionne dès lors la construction, en cours, au sein d'espaces associatifs franco-portugais, d'une mémoire partagée de la migration portugaise.
Quitter l'Alsace pour faire fortune : le cas des entrepreneurs du XIXe siècle
Authors: Stoskopf Nicolas
Published: December 2022

Forte de son avance industrielle et des spécificités de ses savoir-faire, l'Alsace a exporté au XIXe siècle des spécialistes là où ils étaient recherchés en France (Normandie), ou en Europe (Suisse, Russie, Catalogne, etc.). Mais cette diaspora a été aussi alimentée par d'autres flux liés à la pression démographique, à la guerre de 1870 ou encore à l'attrait de Paris pour les Juifs d'Alsace-Lorraine : faire fortune est devenu un défi que les uns et les autres ont relevé à leur manière.

¿Reproducción o creación ? Imágenes, prácticas y objetos religiosos armenios del exilio en Los Angeles

El genocidio de 1915 significó una dispersión a gran escala del pueblo armenio.

Migration et mutations du culte des génies Hauka du Niger vers la Gold-Coast (années 1920-1950)
Authors: Gallois Alice
Published: December 2022

Migrations and Mutations of Hauka Geniuses Worship from Niger to Gold Coast (Years 1920-1950)

Hauka are modern geniuses originally from songhay religion (Niger) and conditioned by colonial situation. Worship manages to establish itself in certain outskirts of Accra (Ghana) where it changed and consolidated. It is therefore in the contact of various cultures that the worship of 'geniuses of force'came to be renown so as to give birth, during the 1950's, to an almost autonomous religion. The phenomenon of Hauka allows to understand better the way exiles' community can bring with her its beliefs (myths) and its practices (rituals) to finally give birth to its own identity in the contact of new realities, and establish itself within its reception area.

El viaje de dioses desde Ghana a Estados Unidos : movimiento «Akan», nacionalismo y transnacionalizaciôn religiosa

Desde 1965, Akonedi Shrine de Larteh Kubease, lugar de culto ghanés, ha originado un conjunto de redes transnacionales que unen celebrantes africanos y afro-americanos de Estados Unidos. Insistiendo en la historia de este santuario ghanés, este articulo analiza las innovaciones rituales que permitieron el «viaje de los dioses» hacia América. El autor demuestra como, en el contexte de un estado ghanés en plena construcción, el culto practicado en Akonedi Shrine se tuvo que «nacionalizar» antes de difundirse más alla del Atlántico.

Inmigrantes al servicio de Francia : los alistamientos voluntarios del otono 1938

Al tiempo de la llamada «crisis de los Sudetes» de septiembre 1938, miles de extraderas, mayoritariamente judios, se alistaron de manera informal a la Ligue internationale contre l'antisémitisme (LICA) asi como en otras organizaciones con vistas a servir Francia en caso de guerra. Las huellas que subsisten de aquellos alistamientos reflejan el gran reconocimiento de los que habian encontrado alli un refugio antes de sufrir una nueva oleada de persecuciones.
