Le langage des pagnes en Côte d’Ivoire : perspectives sémiotique et sociolinguistique
Authors: SANNI-SULEIMAN Dr Afsat
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Language has several facets of definitions, among which we
postulate that of Vendryes (1923:9) who defines language as `` a system of
signs [...]. By sign is meant any symbol capable of serving as means of
communication among men. Language occurs whenever two individuals,
having attributed by convention a certain meaning to a given act, perform this
act with a view to communicating among themselves”. This paper attempts
to study the language of wax fabrics, which, loaded with day- to- day
experiences, transmit messages through the different names given to them to
reflect the social realities of Ivorians. To achieve this objective, it should be
noted that the conception of language as a sign system is not only linked to
linguistics, it also calls for a semiotic approach which is the general study of
verbal and non-verbal sign systems. Describing and understanding how these
systems work will be part of our concern. We will then use the sociolinguistic
approach of Labov (1976) to evaluate the various expressions of the wax
fabric, its powers in its different uses and its different functions in the Ivoirian
society.

Authors: Zhang Wangli , Liu Chaopan , Bai Yijun , Liu Qiqi , Cui Cui
Published: November 2024

This study aims to investigate the key lower limb joint biomechanical factors affecting the performance of vertical jumping in high-level sprinters, focusing on analysing the torque, power output and stiffness of the hip, knee and ankle joints during the vertical jumping process. The relationship between the joint biomechanical parameters and the key indexes of vertical jump performance, including ground contact time, free height and reaction power index, was systematically analysed through the simultaneous acquisition of 3D kinematic and kinetic data of the sprinters. The results showed that different lower limb joints play key roles in different phases of the long jump. During the centrifugal phase (landing), knee stiffness had a significant effect on ground contact time, with athletes with greater stiffness demonstrating shorter contact times, thus contributing to a quicker entry into the centripetal phase (jumping). In contrast, during the centripetal phase, ankle power output was highly correlated with free height and explosive performance, showing the decisive role of the ankle joint in vertical mobility at the start of the jump. The hip joint also plays a role in coordinating upper and lower limb movements and enhancing power transfer throughout the exercise process, but its influence is more indirect. This study provides biomechanical empirical evidence for the training of sprinters, especially by enhancing knee joint stiffness and ankle joint power output, athletes can effectively improve the performance of vertical jump manoeuvres. These findings provide a scientific basis for coaches and athletes to optimise their training programmes and improve their performance in competitions, and provide a reference direction for future related research.

Background: Low back pain has a huge economic impact on any healthcare system. Prolapse in lumbar intervertebral disc (PIVD) can lead to the development of LBP. Until the moment, there is inconclusive evidence regarding the best treatment option for PIVD. Aim: The purpose of this research was to examine the effectiveness of lumbar traction and McKenzie exercises versus McKenzie exercises alone on pain, range of movement and function on individuals with PIVD. Methods: A randomised clinical trail study design was utilised in this research. Participants were divided into two groups. Group A received lumbar traction and McKenzie exercises and Group B received McKenzie exercises alone. Different outcome measures such as goniometer readings, Oswestry Disability Index and numeric pain rating scale were used. Quantitative data was represented using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data was depicted through frequencies and percentage. Various statistical analyses were conducted to interpret the collected data. Results: Thirty-two individuals took part in this study. Sixteen individuals were allocated in each group in this study. There was no statistical significant difference between both groups in terms of gaining more range of movement and restoring lost function (p>0.05). However, there was a significant statistical change between groups in favour of Group A in terms of pain reduction (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that it will be more beneficial to add lumbar traction to McKenzie exercises to achieve more pain reduction. It seems that adding lumbar traction helped to relieve pain as it might helped in relieving excessive pressure exerted between lumbar vertebrates.

Authors: Arnaut Filip
Published: November 2024

Earthquakes pose a significant threat to the population, causing harm to individuals and also impacting modern infrastructure. Prediction of earthquakes as a subfield of seismology aims to address questions and problems related to forecasting of earthquakes. An area of research that could contribute to this matter is the field of space weather specifically related to the impact of the sun on Earth. This brief communication presents a statistical analysis of occurrences of solar flares and earthquakes during the 24th solar cycle. Overall, the findings indicate that it is unlikely to attribute solar flares as a trigger factor for earthquake events; however, the analysis reveals a limited number of intriguing instances that warrant further research.
Cosmic rays as a clock (or Using cosmic rays for imaging and to study past)

Earth is constantly bombarded by cosmic rays, high- energy charged particles, mostly protons, coming from our galaxy. Heliosphere and geomagnetic field can modulate and suppress cosmic rays flux (1). But some particles are sufficiently energetic to reach Earth’s atmosphere. On impact with common atoms in Earth’s atmosphere and crust, they break apart these atoms to create new rare isotopes known as cosmogenic nuclides (2). The rate of their production is determined by several factors like intensity of primary cosmic rays, the level of solar activity, strength of the Earth’s magnetic field, etc.Quantitative information about past solar and geological activity and even archeological findings over long timescale can be obtained using a method based upon cosmogenic isotopes as indirect proxies.In addition, non-destructive emerging imaging technics like cosmic ray muons tomography and radiography use the natural radiation of cosmic ray muons to create 2D and 3D images of objects (3). This work will review some of the uses of cosmic rays that can find applications in a wide variety of fields, from astronomy, geology, and archaeology to biology, engineering, and security.

In the past few decades innovative approach is to foster collaboration and effective synergies among disciplines such as space exploration, atmospheric and Earth observations, laboratory and field experiments, and numerical modeling, with a high potential for direct application in Earth and other planetary research. Modeling various atmospheres with supercomputer capability, as well as diagnosing astrophysical and laboratory plasma using atomic and molecular datasets, relies on the creation and improvement of theoretical techniques and data computation methods (see e.g. Srećković et al. 2024). Multi-instrument and multi-disciplinary competence are needed to solve complicated climate concerns and its repercussions. Moreover, the growing amount of data suggests a rise in the use of automated tools and retrieval techniques (see e.g. Škoda and Adam 2020 and references therein). Model evaluation, data assimilation, satellite validation, and investigations of diverseprocesses in the atmosphere and on Earth can all easily make use of the new information and retrieval products.This contribution is progress report of work on a common topic within the bilateral project “The analysis of big data related to earth and sky observation: environmental applications and influence on life sciences” between the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Art.

This article presents a narrative review into the impact of social media on male self-image, emphasizing the detrimental effects of prolonged exposure to idealized physical standards. A qualitative literature review based on national and international studies revealed that these widely disseminated digital platforms significantly contribute to body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem and the development of psychological disorders, including anxiety, depression and eating disorders among young men. Critical data analysis showed that social media reinforces hegemonic beauty stereotypes, generating aesthetic and psychological pressures. Furthermore, these pressures negatively affect individuals' emotional well-being and self-confidence, compromising their mental health and quality of life. This research enhances understanding of the dynamics between social media, gender identity, and mental health, providing insights for public policies, effective interventions, preventive strategies and meaningful educational initiatives.
