Real-Time Energy Management Strategy of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicles Based on Power Following Strategy–Fuzzy Logic Control Strategy Hybrid Control
Authors: Zou Ke , Luo Wenguang , Lu Zhengjie
Published: November 2023

Fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles have the advantages of zero emission, high efficiency and fast refuelling, etc. and are one of the key directions for vehicle development. The energy management problem of fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles is the key technology for power distribution. The traditional power following strategy has the advantage of a real-time operation, but the power correction is usually based only on the state of charge of a lithium battery, which causes the operating point of the fuel cell to be in the region of a low efficiency. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a hybrid power-following-fuzzy control strategy, where a fuzzy logic control strategy is used to optimise the correction module based on the power following strategy, which regulates the state of charge while correcting the output power of the fuel cell towards the efficient operating point. The results of the joint simulation with Matlab + Advisor under the Globally Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Cycle Conditions show that the proposed strategy still ensures the advantages of real-time energy management, and for the hydrogen fuel cell, the hydrogen consumption is reduced by 13.5% and 4.1% compared with the power following strategy and the fuzzy logic control strategy, and the average output power variability is reduced by 14.6% and 5.1%, respectively, which is important for improving the economy of the whole vehicle and prolonging the lifetime of fuel cell.
Documenting the Perspectives of Sub-Saharan African Policy Makers, Researchers, and Activists on the Reproductive Rights, Population Dynamics, and Environmental Sustainability Nexus
Authors: Delacroix Céline , Owoo Nkechi S.
Published: November 2023

While high fertility levels in sub-Saharan Africa pose multiple challenges for economic, social, and environmental prospects, the perspectives of actors from this region have not been well documented. We offer a selection of viewpoints from 42 countries in sub-Saharan Africa along four main dimensions: perceptions of the role of population growth for broader societal implications; the representation of sub-Saharan Africa in discussions of population growth; the integration of population dynamics and reproductive health and rights in environmental considerations and instruments; and the sensitive nature of the topic of population growth. A mixed-methods qualitative project was conducted, using an online survey of 402 participants followed by 18 in-depth interviews, to collect the views of policy makers, researchers, and activists in sub-Saharan Africa. We find overwhelming agreement that population growth has negative implications for environmental sustainability and other social welfare outcomes. We find broad support for the integration of population dynamics and reproductive health and rights dimensions at international environmental meetings and in environmental sustainability instruments. Participants also stressed the under-representation of sub-Saharan Africa in discussions of population dynamics and in international environmental governance. Overall, this paper contributes to a better understanding of sub-Saharan African perspectives and attitudes on the interconnectedness of reproductive health, population dynamics, and environmental sustainability.

In recent years, the search for and use of alternative binder building materials has become the subject of many studies both in Russia and abroad. This is due to the trend to reduce the harmful effects of the production of building materials and to more rational use of available raw materials. Fly ash, being a waste of the energy industry, accumulated in large volumes in ash dumps throughout Russia, is a promising material for use in the production of cement-containing building materials and products. The article provides a review of scientific literature and patents on the use of fly ash in various types of concrete, as well as in the production of dry building mixtures. On the basis of the review, positive and negative effects from the introduction of fly ash additives on the properties of concrete, ways to increase the efficiency of using the considered waste in the production of building materials were identified. The experimental part of the work presents the results of determining the strength and water resistance of heavy concrete samples with partial replacement of cement with fly ash obtained by burning coal at a new thermal power plant in the Kaliningrad region.

Background

The DAWN antivirals trial was a multicentric, randomised placebo-controlled trial evaluating antiviral medication for COVID-19 in general practice. The trial was prematurely terminated because of insufficient recruitment.

Aim

To explore which factors contributed to the premature termination.

Design & setting

General practice in Belgium.

Method

Patients were randomised to camostat or placebo (patients and physicians blinded) between June 2021 and July 2022; a third arm evaluating molnupiravir (open label) was opened in March 2022. The outcome assessor was blinded for all comparisons except for the patient reported outcomes in case of molnupiravir. The authors analysed available trial data and evaluated trial context, implementation, and mechanisms of impact based on semi-structured interviews with trial stakeholders.

Results

The trial recruited 44 participants; 19 were allocated to camostat (median age 55 years), 8 to molnupiravir (median age 60 years), and 17 to placebo (median age 56 years). There were no serious adverse events in either group. Most difficulties were related to the pandemic context: disruption to routine clinical services; multiple changes to the service model for COVID-19 patients; overwhelmed clinical staff; delays of trial medication; and staff shortages in the sponsor and clinical team. In addition, regulatory approval processes were lengthy and led to additional study procedures. It was felt that the trial started too late, when vaccinations had already begun.

Conclusion

The DAWN antivirals trial was stopped prematurely. Although many barriers were related to the pandemic itself, hurdles such as a small and inexperienced sponsor and clinical teams, delays in regulatory processes, and research capacity in routine settings could be overcome by established research infrastructure and standardisation of processes.

Authors:   Chernivtsi Institute of Trade and Economics of SUTE, Kyfyak Vasyl
Published: November 2023

In the conditions of the reform of the health care system of Ukraine and the increase in the number of private medical institutions, the problem of the competitiveness of medical services has actualized. Formation of the market of social and medical services contributes to the emergence of new relationships in the health care sphere. Increasing the competitiveness of social and medical services is directly related to the formation and development of human capital, which is provided by comprehensive and high-quality medical care servicing. Social and medical services are an absolute priority for preserving the consumer’s health and life, unlike other social services (education, sports, etc.), which the consumer can refuse from. Research of the list of social and medical services in a particular region, their types and functional purpose, establishing advantages and evaluating services is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. The purpose of the study is to determine the types and kinds of social and medical services, their functional purpose and competitiveness, to establish the advantages and evaluation of social and medical services, as well as to determine the main factors affecting the development of the competitive environment. As the theoretical and methodological basis of writing the article the authors used the legislation of Ukraine, the works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists, methods of analysis and synthesis, survey and comparison. In the article, based on the analysis of social and medical services provided by medical institutions in the region, a list of such services is defined as well as classified by types, kinds, functional purpose and other characteristics. On the example of the Hlyboka ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT OF ENTERPR ISES ACCORD ING TO TYPES OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY Issue II (90), 2023 23 territorial community, the advantages of individual business entities providing social and medical services were determined. Also, the quality of services of the Communal Non-profit Enterprise "Centre for Primary Medical and Sanitary Care of Hlyboka Rural United Territorial Community" was assessed. The main factors affecting the competitive environment were identified and the problems of competition development in the market of social and medical services in the region were highlighted. Creation of conditions for the formation of a competitive environment, establishment and development of the competitiveness of social and medical services is an effective tool for qualitative changes in the health care sphere.

Investment activity makes it possible to provide the enterprise with sources of economic benefits. But finding good investors is impossible without the ability to communicate or negotiate. Implementation of an investment project is a complex process that includes pre-investment, actual investment and post-investment stages. Therefore, it is important to understand what communicative competences are necessary for a business manager/owner in order to implement an investment project and establish close relations with investors in conditions of threats and risks. The purpose of the research is to study the role and importance of communications and communicative competence of managers in the process of ensuring and implementing investment projects of enterprises in conditions of threats and risks. In the process of carrying out the research, general scientific theoretical methods were used: the abstract-logical method - to make theoretical generalizations about the essence of the investment project and the stages of its implementation; generalization - for the formation of communicative competences that provide all stages of the implementation of an investment project. ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT OF ENTERPR ISES ACCORD ING TO TYPES OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY Issue II (90), 2023 35 The article defines that the communicative competence of managers representing an investment project includes: the ability to communicate with people at different levels of the organization's structure: with subordinate employees, groups, units; outside the organization: with customers, suppliers, banks; investors; use of formalized communication at meetings, in the process of developing reports, proposals, presentation of business plans; use of informal communication in communicating with employees, consulting, getting to know investors; use of communication to search for information, control, participation in discussions; creation of contact bases of future investors, influence on other people. Based on the conducted research, three stages of investment project implementation were determined: pre-investment, investment and post-investment, and the proposed communicative competences that ensure their implementation. The proposed communicative competencies of the three stages of an investment project can form the basis of the basic competencies needed by modern business managers/executives for the implementation of their projects in conditions of threats and risks, and can also be modified, supplemented and improved depending on the type of activity of the enterprise, the competitive situation on the market, the period of implementation of the business project, etc.

The increased and almost critical level of risk and uncertainty for doing business, primarily associated with the full-scale invasion of the russian Federation troops in Ukraine, actualizes the issue of operational management in all spheres of the enterprise's functioning: marketing, production, investment, innovation, finance, technical and technological, etc. Making timely management decisions is based on the information system of their support, in which operational economic analysis plays one of the leading roles. The formation and development of economic analysis from the time of the planned Soviet economy to modern domestic realities is characterized by significant changes and reconsidering of its role in making operational, tactical and strategic management decisions. Taking into account today's circumstances, taking into account medium- and long-term planning for the reconstruction and development of the economy of Ukraine, operational management decisions are the basis for the adoption-approval and adjustment of policies, tactics and strategies by business entities. Operational economic analysis is an integral component of information support for management decision-making, which actualizes the issue of defining its conceptual foundations in the system of modern enterprise management. The article provides a retrospective and modern assessment of content of the concept of "operational economic analysis" category. The role and place of operational economic analysis in the system of information support for making timely management decisions is outlined. It is substantiated that modern operational economic analysis is a constituent element of the management analysis system of production (operational), financial, investment and innovation, marketing, personnel and other activities of business entities. That is, it is the basis not only for making operational management decisions, but also for adjusting the policy, tactics, business and functional strategies of the enterprise.

The article is devoted to the definition of one of the main directions of development - event. It is necessary to study the event - market and management in Ukraine, to determine the stages of preparation and directions of implementation, as well as to determine the prospects for further development of the event in the activities of service enterprises in Ukraine. So, event management has great development prospects in Ukraine. It allows a person to share experiences, emotions and get the maximum benefit in within the framework of management in the field of hotel and restaurant industry. It is a reliable mechanism by which enterprises are able to multiply, and an institution - to achieve its goal. Implementation of event management will allow increasing sales and raising the rating of the enterprise, which is beyond doubt a plus for a hotel and restaurant establishment striving for development and innovative changes. The authors conducted a SWOT analysis to determine the strengths and weaknesses of event management in Ukraine. The characteristics of the event were highlighted and its opportunities in the activity of enterprises in the service sector were identified. Besides it, the peculiarities of the event-management were outlined. A methodical approach to increase the effectiveness of implementing event management at enterprises in the service sector is proposed, which includes an algorithm for the implementation of the event.

Foram realizadas oficinas temáticas e atividades de campo, com plantio e monitoramento de mudas para compensação de emissões de CO2 no Viveiro Florestal de Taubaté. Durante o projeto, os jovens foram levados também a refletir sobre as ações que causavam os riscos de desastres no lugar onde vivem e possíveis soluções de mitigação. Observou-se um avanço na compreensão dos estudantes sobre os temas abordados, suas inter-relações e importância para a realidade local.
Dinâmicas naturais e sociais como determinantes para a materialização da paisagem contemporânea do bairro Edson Queiroz em Fortaleza/CE
Authors: Salvador Diego Silva
Published: November 2023

Como parte da pesquisa de mestrado intitulada “Natureza ao Urbano: transformações na Paisagem e a Produção do Espaço - Ambiente no bairro Edson Queiroz em Fortaleza/CE” são apontadas as inspirações empíricas-teórico-metodológicas, que fundam a pesquisa na perspectiva da compreensão das transformações da paisagem natural, em meio aos condicionantes produtores do urbano fortalezense e no contexto da lógica capitalista. São articulados autores que direcionam o entendimento do conceito de Paisagem e suas abordagens possíveis, pois, sobretudo na atualidade, as tensões da relação Sociedade/Natureza estão evidentes, fundadas nas bases materiais de construção da vida, que desarticula o entendimento do homem sobre as dinâmicas e estruturas da natureza. Como objetivo está a interpretação de ortofotocartas dos anos de 1958 e 2010, como forma de evidenciar as transformações impostas às paisagens, além de identificar dinâmicas naturais e sociais que manifestam na paisagem suas demandas e determinam a morfologia contemporânea. Assim, fazem-se necessárias novas proposições metodológicas que levem à compreensão da relação Sociedade/Natureza no âmbito das transformações urbanas.
Les poteries du Midi toulousain et le marché colonial transatlantique. Les exemples de la forteresse de Louisbourg, Canada, 1713-1758
Authors: Guindon Amélie , Monette Yves , Loewen Brad
Published: November 2023

Mehrere Keramikfunde in Kanada aus dem 17. und 18. Jh. scheinen aus Toulouser Werkstätten zu stammen. Es handelt sich vor allem um kugelförmige Töpfe mit zwei Henkeln und bemalter engobierter Ware. 209 Scherben aus Kanada und Toulouse wurden analysiert (Massenspektrometrie mit induktiv gekoppeltem Plasma und optisches Spektrometer) um die Herkunft und den Anteil der Toulouser Produktion an der in der ehemaligen Kolonie gefundenen Keramik zu erfassen. In diesem Artikel werden die Resultate dieser Studie für den archäologischen Fundort “ Forteresse de Louisbourg” (île du Cap-Breton, Neuschottland), veröffentlicht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen die Rolle der Garonne im transatlantischen Kolonialhandel und erneuern unsere Kenntnisse über die Organisation der Produktion und den Vertrieb der Toulouser Keramikproduktion.
La céramique de Ligurie dite « à taches noires » et le Toulousain
Authors: Dieulefet Gaëlle , Piques Stéphane
Published: November 2023

A principios del siglo XVIII, los talleres del Midi tolosano se hallan frente a una competencia italiana muy activa por la venta a precio baratísimo de una cerámica con decorado de manchas negras. Haciendo cabotaje a lo largo de las costas mediterráneas los mercaderes de la costa de Génova despachan los productos del norte de la península. Abastecen los grandes puertos franceses y así alcanzan la Nouvelle-Ecosse a la par que contruyen una red densa en la región de Toulouse sobre todo en su capital. Mientras que la primera mitad del siglo XIX es para la cerámica de manchas negras una fase de decadencia en su patria, numerosos ceramistas tolosanos se apoderan de esa técnica ; ayudados por tránsfugas italianos, se lanzan en la fabricación de ese tipo de producto barato. La cerámica de Liguria y la región de Toulouse ilustran las relaciones complejas que se establecen entre las redes de exportación de un producto y los procesos de evolución que esos intercambios fomentan en los productoresde dicho territorio.
En finir avec le mythe de la faïence de Toulouse au XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Beaux-Laffon Marie-Germaine , Piques Stéphane
Published: November 2023

Au XVIIIe siècle la plupart des centres faïenciers français du Midi de la France se sont copiés ou imités et seuls les historiens de l’art du XXe siècle se sont hasardés à émettre des hypothèses quant à l’identité artistique propre de certains centres. Il en est ainsi de la faïence toulousaine souvent confondue avec les faïences fabriquées dans les ateliers ruraux du Sud-Ouest ou dans les manufactures urbaines de Bordeaux et de Montpellier. La révision de l’historiographie confrontée aux faïences découvertes sur des sites de consommation canadiens montre que la faïence toulousaine relève du mythe et qu’il faut abandonner définitivement les hypothèses émises au siècle passé sur d’éventuelles caractéristiques stylistiques qui permettraient de la différencier. Plus globalement, cette réévaluation de l’historiographie remet en cause la hiérarchie ville-campagne dans les processus d’innovation et de production, à l’avantage des manufactures rurales dont les capacités dans ces domaines sont souvent sous-estimées ou ignorées.
De l’IREP de Toulouse au Parc municipal des sports : histoire d’un lieu de formation universitaire (1929-1970)
Authors: Vaucelle Serge
Published: November 2023

C’est à la fin des années 1920, dans un contexte de croissance universitaire, que la faculté de médecine de Toulouse décide de se doter d’un institut régional d’éducation physique. Les impératifs de la formation médicale, les exigences de la recherche scientifique, les espoirs en termes d’utilité sociale et de retombées sportives poussent la direction de l’IREP à solliciter le soutien des instances politiques locales pour accompagner son développement. Rapidement, le jeune établissement se retrouve hébergé dans le bâtiment principal du nouveau «Parc municipal des sports » que la ville de Toulouse vient d’offrir à sa population sur l’île du Ramier. La présente étude s’attache à retracer l’histoire de ce patrimoine architectural particulièrement remarquable, en observant comment attentes académiques d’une faculté de médecine et action publique volontariste d’une municipalité socialiste ont su se combiner puis s’accommoder sur près d’un demi-siècle, pour offrir jusque dans les années 1970 un cadre exceptionnel à un institut d’éducation physique.
Entre Barcelone et Valence : les importations de pastel et leur évolution à la fin du Moyen Âge
Authors: Igual Luis David
Published: November 2023

Dieser Artikel analysiert die Färberwaidexporte am Ende des Mittelalters nach Barcelona und Valencia anhand der bisherigen Geschichtsforschung und neuer, noch unveröffentlichten Quellen. Im ersten Teil untersucht der Autor die Entwicklung der Pastelimporte in beiden Städten zwischen dem 13. und 14. Jh., besonders aber die Herkunft des Färberwaids und die Menschen, die hinter diesem Handel mit dem Königreich Aragon standen. Der Markt von Valencia in der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jh. und die Handelsgeschäfte von Guinot Rascas, einem in Valencia ansässigen Händler aus Albi, werden anschließend betrachtet. Der Handel mit Färberwaid ein gutes Instrument um die wirtschaftliche Konjunktur insgesamt zu erfassen. Dieses Geschäft passte sich sowohl den Strukturen der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion und des Textilgewerbes, als auch den Veränderungen bei der Nachfrage und der Handelsrouten, an.

Später wurde dass im 16. und im 17. Jh. eine aktive Handelsroute für diesen Rohstoff Südfrankreichs über den Port de Benasque nach Saragossa führte. Dieser schlägt vor, auch den Handel über den Pyrenäen vor dieser Zeit zu untersuchen. Informationen dazu stammen aus den Zollregistern des Königreichs in der Mitte 15. Jh. Weiteres Quellenmaterial bilden die notariellen Quellen Aragoniens. erkennt welchen gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Einfluss der Handel die Pyrenäen in der europäischen Vormoderne hatte.
Le commerce du pastel en Albigeois (XVe-XVIe siècles)

Published: November 2023

Gilles Caster había barruntado la importancia del cultivo del pastel en la región de Albi y la participación de los mercaderes de Albi en los circuitos comerciales internacionales. A fines del siglo XV, éstos hacen pareja con los mismos de Toulouse. Regulan la producción y acompañan los productos elaborados en varias direcciones : desde las orillas del Garona a las del Escalda, pero también a Lyon, a la región parisiense y hasta Champaña pasando per el camino del Macizo Central. Esa intensa actividad ha permitido que una élite local de mercaderes se enriquezca pero, después de hacerse ricos, invierten su fortuna en bienes raíces y van dejando ese comercio lucrativo en manos de mercaderes forasteros. Después de conocer una verdadera edad de «oro azul» hasta mediados del siglo XVI, Albi sufre durante varios siglos una atonía económica.
Les Salviati de Lyon et le commerce du pastel languedocien, 1519-1549
Authors: Bottin Jacques , Vérité Isabelle
Published: November 2023

We know much of the banking activity that Italian companies conducted on behalf of major woad merchants, but far less of their business practices. It can be closely looked at from the rich commercial documentation from the Salviati of Lyon, although they were not leading players. Twenty transactions conducted from 1519 to 1549 allow us to understand how they carried on their business, from decision making to finalisation of payments. The fact that they were selling woad in London, Antwerp, Venice, Valence and Florence highlights the functionality of the Salviati’s European network, based on their agencies and relationships with a small core of reliable partners. On the other side, the growing involvement of local woad merchants in their business reflects the strengthening of this network at the regional level. This increased the autonomy of the payment system, centered in Lyon, from the pastel circuit.
Marins et marchands marseillais en Normandie vers 1570
Authors: Brumont Francis
Published: November 2023

Les relations commerciales entre Marseille et la Normandie étaient assez épisodiques jusqu’au milieu du XVIe siècle. À partir des années 1560, elles devinrent plus actives, surtout après 1570 grâce à la conjonction de deux événements : la guerre de Chypre entre Venise et les Turcs qui permit à Marseille de capter une partie du commerce des épices en direction de la mer du Nord et l’arrivée sur le marché des draperies anglaises que les Marseillais pouvaient envoyer vers le Levant. Cet échange épices/draps prospéra durant quelques années entraînant l’installation de Marseillais et d’Anglais à Rouen, la ville où s’échangeaient ces marchandises. La reprise en mains par Venise du trafic des épices et les voyages des Anglais en Méditerranée pour pratiquer ces échanges directement entraînèrent la quasi-disparition des Marseillais en Normandie, même si certains s’étaient essayés au commerce avec le Brésil et à la pêche de la morue.

This article introduces us to what must have been the export trade from Marseille to Valencia by sea, in the period between 1626 and 1675, from a documentary base, the Peatge de Mar (Archive of the Kingdom of Valencia), which allows us to understand easily the peculiarities of the merchant activity that was developped between the two cities, Marseille, sender of all kinds of products and Valencia, which is the recipient and consumes them. A world seen from the observatory formed by the port-beach of the Grao of Valencia, which, as through a kaleidoscope, will put us in contact with a universe formed by the different models of boats and the skippers who directed them, the products traded or the men linked to these exchanges of goods, both in terms of imports and exports, always with the Mediterranean as witness.
Bolivar, le collège novateur de Sorèze et son rayonnement hispanique : découvertes et réinterprétations
Authors: Ferté Patrick
Published: November 2023

Dieser Artikel möchte die Ausstrahlung des Kollegs der Mauriner in Sorèze (im Departement Tarn) seit 1760 gerade auch auf die iberische Welt, auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks, aufzeigen. Entgegen einer hartnäckigen Legende, deren Ursprung lange unklar blieb, besuchte Bolivar nie die Schule der alten Abtei Sorèze. Der Libertador interessierte sich aber für sie auch wenn es hier zu seiner Zeit keine königliche Militärschule mehr gab und sie auch nicht mehr von den Maurinern geleitet wurde. Hier herrschten immer noch die avantgardistischen Erziehungsmethoden die man im Artikel „Collège“ der Encyclopédie der Aufklärung nachlesen kann – ja vielleicht war das Studienkolleg von Sorèze sogar ein Vorreiter für diese Ideen. Bolivar schickte seine Neffen 1803 und 1804 nach Sorèze und kam persönlich vorbei um die Schulkosten zu begleichen und um sich von den Leitlinien des Lehrplan überzeugen zu lassen. Das Interesse Bolivars für Sorèze ist nicht nur für seine Biografie interessant. Man kann sich fragen, inwiefern die für die damalige Zeit ungewöhnliche, moderne, liberale und sogar laizistische Pädagogik von Sorèze die politischen Entscheidungen Bolivars, ja die gesamte Erziehungspolitik in den jungen lateinamerikanischen Staaten beeinflusst haben könnte.

Les carrières de serpentine de Cahus (Lot) : origine des éléments sculptés en «marbre» de l’abbaye Saint-Géraud d’Aurillac (début du XIIe siècle)
Authors: Chardonnet Sylvain
Published: November 2023

La serpentine, roche ayant longtemps été perçue comme un «marbre » , est utilisée pour la sculpture de plusieurs édifices romans du Massif Central. Les abbayes d’Aurillac (Cantal) et de Conques (Aveyron) possèdent toutes deux des bassins de fontaines réalisés dans ce minéral. L’origine de la roche donnée est traditionnellement la même : celle du Puech de Voll, sur la commune de Firmi (Aveyron). Néanmoins des différences entre les serpentinites aurillacoise et conquoise apparaissent et il convient de remettre en cause l’idée d’une carrière commune entre Aurillac et Conques. Bien des filons oubliés existent entre les deux monastères. Plus proche d’Aurillac, la serpentine de Cahus (Lot), quelque peu occultée par sa voisine rouergate, a de fortes probabilités d’être la carrière ayant approvisionné le chantier aurillacois du début du XIIe siècle. Une distance réduite, une appartenance commune à la vallée de la Cère, un trajet simple qui permet un transport tout aussi aisé et une aire géographique incluse dans la politique de l’abbaye Saint-Géraud sont autant d’arguments qui plaident en faveur d’une origine cahusienne du «marme » aurillacois.
La guerre d’Albi (1434-1462). Un parcours historiographique
Authors: Nadrigny Xavier
Published: November 2023

Between 1434 and 1462, two prelates fought over the bishopric of Albi : Bernard de Casilhac, elected by the Albigensian chapter, supported by the consuls, the local nobility and the Council of Basel, and Robert Dauphin, appointed by Pope Eugene IV on the recommendation of Charles VII. The two rivals opposed each other in court, at the Council of Basel and at the Parliament of Paris, and in arms, especially between 1434 and 1437. The affair is mentioned in several contemporary documents, in France and in Germany. However, it is not mentioned in almost any current book on the history of France, the Hundred Years War or Languedoc. In order to understand this oversight, we have reconstructed the historiographical genealogy of the conflict, from the most current works to the first historical studies of the 18th century. Three milestones can be identified. First, the conflict was “invented” by Joseph Vaissete, in his Histoire générale de Languedoc, from a monarchist and provincial perspective. Then, in the second half of the 19th century, it was the republican historians, Émile Jolibois and Jules Quicherat, who established an account strongly tinged with anticlericalism. Finally, since the 1970s, church historians, particularly in Germany, have interpreted this conflict as a symptom of the malaise and divisions of the French church, but also of the vigor of reformist currents. The “ Albi War” has its place in neither of the two great narratives of national and Languedoc history and memory, the Hundred Years War and the Albigensian Crusade. In fact, the Albi War is mainly situated in the context of the reform of the Church in the fifteenth century, which has interested German historians more than French historians. It is this issue that should be explored in greater depth in order to measure and understand more completely the impact of the event in the fifteenth century.
L’émergence d’un marché du livre d’histoire à Marseille (1800-1870)
Authors: Geslot Jean-Charles
Published: November 2023

Lange Zeit litt Marseille unter dem Vorurteil mit seiner eigenen Geschichte, ja mit Kultur und Bildung allgemein, über Kreuz zu liegen und auch von seiner eigenen Vergangenheit nur wenig Spuren aufzubewahren. Diese Studie möchte mit diesem Gemeinplatz aufräumen und zeigen, wie in Marseille ebenso wie in anderen Provinzstädten im 19. Jh., ein Markt für Geschichtsliteratur entstand. Untersucht werden die Strukturen des Büchermarktes den es damals in Marseille gab und die Beziehung, die die Marseiller mit ihrer Geschichte hatten. Die Grundlagen, der Rhythmus und die Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten für die Publikation von Geschichtsbüchern werden näher beschrieben. Die Veröffentlichungen betreffen meist die Heimatgeschichte (der Stadt und der Region) und ihre Zahl wuchs. Um der steigenden Nachfrage nachzukommen entstanden mehre Hommagen an die Geschichte der Stadt. Die Editionsgeschichte von Marseille unterschied sich also nicht von der vergleichbarer Orte.
Le monachisme féminin dans le Midi de la Gaule au très haut Moyen Âge (Ve-début VIIIe siècle)
Authors: Réal Isabelle
Published: November 2023

Southern Gaul saw the early birth of the first monastic communities of women, the most famous of which, Saint-Jean d’Arles and Sainte-Croix de Poitiers, founded during the 6th century, are often considered by historiography as emblematic of the female monasticism of this period. The prestige of their founders and the abundance of sources documenting them have had the effect of focusing the attention of historians on them, to the detriment of other more discreet and tenuous testimonies, but sufficiently numerous to suggest another form of female asceticism, not cenobitic but domestic. A careful rereading of the sources reveals many Deo devotae, consecrated virgins or widows, masters of their own property and living in their own homes, who exercised real power over the surrounding population because of their social superiority and the charisma they derived from their sacredness. The will of the Gallic episcopate to control them better goes hand in hand with that of promoting cenobitism, which is reflected in the dominant discourse conveyed by the sources, especially hagiographic ones. The recurrent mentions of Deo devotae suggest, however, that the phenomenon persisted in the Midi, at least until the middle of the Middle Ages
De Radegonde à Audéarde : les premières fondations monastiques féminines d’Aquitaine du Nord (VIe-début du XIe siècle).
Authors: Treffort Cécile
Published: November 2023

A few decades after the work of Jean Verdon and Élisabeth Magnou-Nortier, this article intends to revisit the sources available to study the female religious communities of Aquitaine (mainly located in the north) prior to the 11th century. In all, a dozen textual files composed of diplomatic acts, authentic, interpolated or false, historical or legendary accounts, and various mentions, contemporary or late, are critically re-read. Among the best documented establishments, we note, besides the exceptional case of the powerful abbey Sainte-Croix de Poitiers, of Merovingian foundation, various ephemeral foundations, such as Sainte-Eulalie de Bordeaux or Sarrazac. The most coherent group is formed by the small aristocratic foundations of the end of the tenth or beginning of the eleventh century, with variable destinies, but whose patrimonial and family character is clearly visible : Saint-Sauveur du Bugue, Saint-Silvain de Lamonzie in Périgord, Saint-André (future Saint-Jean de Bonneval) near Thouars in Poitou
Machine learning-based estimation and clustering of statistics within stratigraphic models as exemplified in Denmark
Authors: Falk Frederik Alexander , Bødker Madsen Rasmus
Published: November 2023

Estimating a covariance model for kriging purposes is traditionally done using semivariogram analyses, where an empirical semivariogram is calculated, and a chosen semivariogram model, usually defined by a sill and a range, is fitted. We demonstrate that a convolutional neural network can estimate such a semivariogram model with comparable accuracy and precision by training it to recognise the relationship between realisations of Gaussian random fields and the sill and range values that define it, for a Gaussian type semivariance model. We do this by training the network with synthetic data consisting of many such realisations with the sill and range as the target variables. Because training takes time, the method is best suited for cases where many models need to be estimated since the actual estimation itself is about 70 times faster with the neural network than with the traditional approach. We demonstrate the viability of the method in three ways: (1) we test the model’s performance on the validation data, (2) we do a test where we compare the model to the traditional approach and (3) we show an example of an actual application of the method using the Danish national hydrostratigraphic model.
ANALYSIS OF THE RESUMPTION OF RETAIL OPERATIONS OF EUROPEAN BRANDS ON THE TERRITORY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF IKEA)
Authors: Khotian Anton , Dzhukha Vladimir
Published: November 2023

The relevance of the presented research is justified by the need for scientific and practical understanding of the dramatic changes in the structure of the Russian consumer market that we are currently observing. From a managerial point of view, the "exodus" of a significant number of European and American brands, as well as the subsequent trend towards the "return" of some of them, is a non-trivial task for management scientists and practitioners. Business conditions are radically changing, which requires informed decisions about which operating models will be most suitable in the short and medium term, taking into account the government measures being introduced to support Russian business, changes in consumer preferences, the competitive environment and many other factors. The described processes take place in conditions of "tearing" supply chains and powerful transformational processes in the field of supply chain management in general, and handling of customer orders (otherwise, fulfillment) in particular. The study conducted by the authors aims to determine the range of key factors contributing to the resumption of retail operations, to describe the key parameters and limitations that the returning business will face, as well as to form a proposal for the likely scenarios for the resumption of IKEA retail operations in Russia. The study is based on the analysis of a standardized interview of a group of management experts directly related to the retail operations of the specified company. The authors present a potential model for ensuring brand operations in Russia in "new" conditions, and also identify its main limitations.
ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ASSESSMENT THE POTENTIAL OF THE REGION AS A FACTOR OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE KRASNODAR TERRITORY
Authors: Boldyrev Kirill , Ivasenko Natal'ya
Published: November 2023

In modern economic conditions characterized by increased knowledge intensity and knowledge intensity of innovative industries, the issues of identifying patterns and features of the influence of the intellectual potential of the region on the level of socio-economic development of individual regions and the state as a whole are relevant. In the process of comparative analysis of the values of the indices of the intellectual potential of the Krasnodar Territory and the Russian Federation for the period from 2020 to 2022. The following trend opportunities were identified: equality of opportunities in the field of education with index values of 0,71≈0,72; superior opportunities in the scientific field in the Krasnodar Territory with index values of 0,50<0,60; superior opportunities in the field of innovative production in the Russian Federation with index values of 0,63>0,59. The result of the structural analysis of the results of the corresponding assessment for the period from 2018 to 2022 was the identification of the same result for the Krasnodar Territory and the Russian Federation: high values – 20%; average values – 80%. As a result of the analysis of the corresponding comparative dynamics, a pattern was revealed: an increase in the index of the intellectual potential of the region by 0,01 leads to an increase in the gross regional product by 2,5% and gross domestic product by 1,75%.
STIMULATING THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOREST ECOSYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE
Authors: Stepanova Yu. , Scherbin Aleksandr
Published: November 2023

This article reveals the problems and ways to solve them related to the sustainable development of forestry in the face of climate change. Vector global trends, such as global climate change and the growth of anthropogenic pressure, entail a huge negative impact on the environment, in the form of degradation of natural ecosystems and a reduction in their biological diversity. The processes of depletion of natural mineral resources, water, land, and forest resources increase the likelihood of environmental disasters, as well as lead to hazardous natural phenomena with a subsequent negative effect on the economic and social components of the life of the population in a country or region. The forest ecosystem, as a global natural phenomenon and part of the economy of nature management, not only satisfies the resource needs of mankind, but is also of great importance for maintaining the integrity and maintaining the sustainability of the existence of the biosphere in the processes of sequestration and storage of carbon and, consequently, in reducing the greenhouse effect and mitigating the effects of climate change. Our analysis of the forest ecosystem is based on an indicative in the form of nature-adapted solutions in the field of sustainable development. As part of the study, based on the analysis of literary sources, the main reasons hindering the sustainable development of forestry were identified. The need to create conditions in the form of conceptual foundations for the sustainable development of "nature-like" forestry, such as: sustainable economic development, sustainable development of the environment and culture, is noted.

This study explored the existing relationships between Advanced HIV Disease (AHD), Tuberculosis (TB), and Cryptococcal Antigen (CrAg) among People Living with HIV (PLHIV) in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. This was achieved by investigating the relationship and prevalence of TB and CrAg among individuals diagnosed with AHD in Nasarawa State; and by assessing the distribution and association of demographic characteristics of the study population with TB and Cryptococcal Antigen. This study employed a cross-sectional survey design, sampling respondents across different demographics at the same time. The study sample were individuals who are currently receiving antiretroviral treatment from our healthcare facilities in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Results showed that TB and CrAg has low prevalence among the study population, however, compared to a larger population, this will be a serious concern. The study also suggest that the demographic information of the study population had no significant relationship on the development or presence of TB or CrAg, however, the study was ableto establish that PLHIVs who had AHD were mostly women (59.8%) in the State. Recommendation were made based on the study findings and the study concluded that the existing relationships among the study variables were not impacted significantly by either age or gender of the population.
