Le rapport des Français au travail
Authors: Clerté Jennifer , Malenfer Marc
Published: September 2023

Le conflit social autour de la réforme des retraites a donné lieu à de nombreux débats et commentaires sur le rapport des Français au travail. Cette actualité s’inscrit dans le prolongement d’une série de secousses venant percuter le monde du travail. De multiples textes réformant le droit du travail et les rapports sociaux dans l’entreprise ont été adoptés ces dernières années : lois Rebsamen en 2015, El Khomri en 2016, ordonnances dites Macron en 2017, loi sur la liberté de choisir son avenir professionnel en 2018, loi PACTE (Plan d’action pour la croissance et la transformation des entreprises) de 2019, réforme de l’assurance chômage de 2022. Parallèlement, plusieurs crises ont mis à l’épreuve les entreprises et les travailleurs : « gilets jaunes » en 2018, conflit sur les retraites en 2019 puis 2022-2023, Covid-19 en 2020-2021, conflit ukrainien, crise énergétique et du pouvoir d’achat depuis 2022. Ces actualités s’additionnent à des transformations du travail moins visibles mais également profondes : procédurisation, numérisation, individualisation des objectifs et des évaluations. Aujourd’hui, l’on se réinterroge sur la place du travail dans nos vies ; en témoignent les Assises du travail lancées fin 2022 par le ministère Travail, du Plein Emploi et de l’Insertion dans le cadre du Conseil national de la refondation, qui visent à « accompagner ces évolutions et les attentes [des Français] ». Et depuis plusieurs mois, une série d’études et de rapports se succèdent pour alimenter ce débat. Cet article propose de faire le point sur le sujet à partir de diverses enquêtes récentes, et en s’interrogeant sur les conséquences possibles, dans les années à venir, de ces évolutions du rapport au travail des Français sur le monde de l’entreprise.
L’évolution des valeurs en Europe
Authors: Bréchon Pierre
Published: September 2023

Depuis plus de 40 ans, l’ European Values Study (EVS) réalise des enquêtes très approfondies, à intervalles réguliers (9-10 ans), dans plus d’une trentaine de pays européens afin d’étudier l’évolution de leurs systèmes de valeurs. La revue Futuribles y fait écho à chaque nouvelle vague, comme nous le rappelions en 2021, lorsque Pierre Bréchon dévoilait les premiers enseignements de la dernière vague (réalisée en 2017) 1 . À l’occasion de la parution de l’ouvrage présentant les tendances et résultats de la vague 2017 2 , Pierre Bréchon approfondit la réflexion, et souligne en particulier les évolutions observées en matière d’individualisation (volonté d’autonomie) et d’individualisme (recherche de son strict intérêt personnel) dans les différents domaines de la vie. Ainsi la tendance à l’individualisation se poursuit, notamment dans la sphère familiale et les comportements politiques, tandis que l’individualisme tend à régresser (altruisme et solidarité se renforçant). Mais ces évolutions sont très spécifiques à l’Europe du Nord, de l’Ouest, voire du Sud ; alors que l’Europe de l’Est et la Russie affichent au contraire une moindre individualisation et un individualisme nettement plus marqué. Pierre Bréchon détaille ici les caractéristiques des évolutions selon les générations, la religiosité, les vagues d’enquêtes et les aires géographiques étudiées. Et il propose une typologie croisée de l’individualisme et de l’individualisation, qu’il recoupe ensuite avec diverses variables sociales, démographiques, politiques, donnant ainsi de nouvelles clefs de lecture et compréhension de ces deux dimensions. Si la baisse de l’individualisme dans une grande partie de l’Europe porte à l’optimisme en matière de cohésion sociale, les forts clivages culturels persistant entre Est et Ouest relativisent considérablement la perspective d’une réelle convergence des valeurs au sein du continent européen entendu au sens large — de l’Atlantique à la Russie.

Chapitre 5. Réalité et ambitions de la démocratisation des lois bioéthiques
Authors: Vigné Valentine
Published: September 2023

Les « lois bioéthiques » constituent un corpus législatif particulier. En raison du caractère sensible et technique des questions abordées, le législateur prévoit leur révision dans un délai de sept ans. En outre, cette révision doit être précédée, depuis 2011, d’États généraux de la bioéthique permettant d’associer au processus législatif tous les pans de la société, des plus sachant aux « profanes ». La loi du 2 août 2021 relative à la bioéthique est intéressante sur cette question à deux égards. D’un part, c’est le premier texte élaboré au regard des obligations de 2011. Il est ainsi possible d’étudier l’impact, modéré, des États généraux sur le processus législatif de 2021. D’autre part, les modifications opérées par la loi de 2021 permettent d’identifier les moyens mobilisés par le législateur pour renforcer et pérenniser la participation au débat bioéthique.
Chapitre 11. Regard philosophique sur le don d’organes du vivant et les particularités du don croisé
Authors: Bastiani Flora
Published: September 2023

Le don d’organe confronte à la réalité de la maladie, de l’horizon de la mort et d’une effectivité matérielle de la corporéité, et en même temps introduit la possibilité d’un don de soi allant jusqu’à la matérialité de l’organe. Une telle démarche associant don et accès à la réalité corporelle nous conduit à nous interroger sur la relation du sujet à autrui et à lui-même sur le plan moral : jusqu’à quel point peut-on donner un élément constitutif de son corps pour soigner autrui ? La volonté de sauver autrui peut-elle surpasser la recherche de préservation individuelle ? Le don d’organe peut-il s’extraire d’un système de type économique ? Aussi nous proposons tout d’abord de réunir des éléments conceptuels pour penser le don d’organe du vivant, avant de nous concentrer plus précisément sur les implications du don croisé selon les nouvelles dispositions de la loi de bioéthique 2021.
Le pirate éthique à l’épreuve du droit pénal et de la protection des données
Authors: Henrotte Jean-François , Limbrée Pauline
Published: September 2023

Dans le monde numérique, l’identification de vulnérabilités peut prendre plusieurs formes, selon que la société gère la sécurité de son système informatique en interne, la confie à une société spécialisée ou à un pirate informatique indépendant. Généralement, à défaut de ressources humaines et techniques suffisantes en interne, la société décide de s’adresser formellement à une société spécialisée dans les tests d’intrusion (ou pentesting ) 2 ou de collaborer avec des pirates éthiques. Ces derniers, dont l’activité principale est de s’introduire au sein d’un système informatique afin d’en tester la résilience, peuvent être classés en deux catégories : d’une part, ceux qui sont entrés d’initiative dans ledit système, d’autre part, ceux qui s’y sont introduits après y avoir été invités (dans le cadre d’un programme de Bug Bounty Hunting ). Malgré l’expression de pirate et l’impression de liberté qu’elle entraîne, les pirates éthiques sont contraints de respecter les règles de droit en vigueur, ce qui les place dans une situation délicate à deux titres. Tout d’abord, les pirates éthiques doivent respecter la réglementation en matière pénale. Celle-ci permet, non sans déplaire, de poursuivre l’accès sans droit au sein d’un système informatique, et ce, peu importe l’intention de l’auteur. Ensuite, les pirates éthiques sont soumis à la réglementation relative à la protection des données à caractère personnel, que ce soit en leur qualité de responsable du traitement ou de sous-traitant. La première hypothèse sera toutefois la plus délicate compte tenu des nombreuses obligations imposées dans ce cadre, dont notamment le principe de licéité du traitement. Dans ce contexte, la situation du pirate éthique est non sans rappeler celle qu’occupait le lanceur d’alerte avant l’adoption de la directive européenne du 16 avril 2019. En effet, à l’instar de ce dernier, le pirate éthique révèle un état de fait qui menace l’intérêt général. Il devrait, à ce titre, bénéficier d’une protection équivalente, à tout le moins lorsqu’il est désintéressé.
La libre circulation des données électroniques consacrée comme cinquième liberté du marché unique
Authors: Henrotte Jean-François
Published: September 2023

On aurait tendance à croire que le fameux Règlement général sur la protection des données serait un obstacle à la libre circulation des données au sein de l’Union européenne. Pourtant, au contraire, le Règlement général sur la protection des données, tout comme le Règlement établissant un cadre applicable au libre flux des données à caractère non personnel, consacrent cette libre circulation des données. Après avoir clarifié le champ d’application matériel de ces deux règlements, la présente contribution s’intéresse à la façon dont chacun d’entre eux promeut cette nouvelle liberté. À cette fin, ils lèvent deux grands obstacles : d’une part, les exigences étatiques en matière de localisation des données et, d’autre part, les pratiques menant à une dépendance à l’égard des fournisseurs dans le secteur privé. Néanmoins, sur ce dernier aspect, la consécration d’un droit à la portabilité des données à caractère non personnel à l’égard des fournisseurs serait souhaitable.

Le cannabis, un produit brevetable ?
Authors: Hermoye Stéphanie , Sahagun Maïlys , Ocvirk Philippe
Published: September 2023

Le cannabis en plein essor – Il s’agit d’un sujet peu commun pour une contribution en droit de la propriété intellectuelle : peut-on obtenir un monopole sur un produit qui reste qualifié de drogue et dont l’illégalité persiste dans de nombreux États ? C’est bien sûr une question qui se pose dans ce marché émergent, propice à l’activité entrepreneuriale. Dans cette contribution, nous commencerons par établir un état de la question concernant la légalité (ou plutôt l’illégalité) du cannabis en Belgique et au Luxembourg ( Point I ). Dans un deuxième temps, nous rappellerons les principes de base en matière de droit européen des brevets, notamment les conditions de brevetabilité d’une invention ( Point II.B ), pour ensuite dresser un exposé des inventions brevetables dans le domaine du cannabis ( Point II.C ). Enfin, on examinera dans quelle mesure le respect des bonnes mœurs peut constituer un frein à la brevetabilité des inventions liées au cannabis ( Point II.D ).

Une marque, enregistrée pour désigner des voitures ainsi que des pièces détachées les composant, fait l’objet d’un usage sérieux pour l’ensemble des produits relevant de cette catégorie si elle n’a fait l’objet d’un tel usage que pour certains de ces produits, ou seulement pour les pièces détachées ou accessoires entrant dans leur composition, ou lorsque son titulaire fournit certains services relatifs aux produits commercialisés antérieurement sous cette marque, à condition toutefois que les services en question soient fournis sous cette même marque. De même, la revente de produits d’occasion peut contribuer à la démonstration de l’usage sérieux d’une marque. Enfin, la charge de la preuve dans le cadre d’une action en déchéance pour défaut d’exploitation de l’usage sérieux incombe au titulaire de la marque contestée, une telle solution relevant non seulement du « bon sens », mais aussi d’un impératif élémentaire d’efficacité de la procédure.

The Inversion of Tradition: Generational Transformations on a Mining Frontier
Authors: Sarró Ramon
Published: September 2023

Autrefois perçues par les chercheurs et les paysans locaux comme une région frontalière, situées aux marges de la théocratie peul du Fouta-Djallon et de l’arrière-pays malinké, les régions de mangrove de la Guinée côtière ont constitué le cadre idéal pour l’établissement de sociétés acéphales cultivant l’art de ne pas être gouvernées, pour reprendre l’expression de Scott, et jouissant d’une grande liberté. Toutefois, ces sociétés étaient organisées autour d’un ordre gérontocratique d’autant plus fort qu’il fut renforcé par la domination coloniale et renversé tardivement, pendant la période postcoloniale. Aujourd’hui, ces régions sont à nouveau une frontière, mais une frontière d’un autre genre, en raison du nombre croissant de compagnies minières exploitant la bauxite, dont plus d’une quinzaine sont arrivées depuis 2015. Dans cet article, j’analyse la transformation de cette double frontière africaine, intérieure et extractive, en observant les connexions entre les nouveaux paysages miniers et les liens générationnels, et en réfléchissant à la nature de la recherche et de la connaissance anthropologiques.
Croyances, préférences face au risque et au temps et comportements de prévention contre le COVID-19 des séniors en France
Authors: Bergeot Julien , Jusot Florence
Published: September 2023

Cet article analyse le rôle des préférences liées au risque et au temps, la confiance envers les autres et les opinions politiques dans l’adoption de comportements de prévention contre le COVID-19 en France. Nous utilisons les données au niveau individuel de la partie française de plusieurs vagues de l’Enquête sur la santé, le vieillissement et la retraite en Europe (SHARE), qui enquête des Européens âgés de 50 ans et plus, appariées aux données de l’enquête SHARE-Corona à l’été 2020, et aux informations sur les préférences et croyances collectées en 2019 à l’aide d’un questionnaire spécifique à la France. Nos résultats suggèrent que la patience et l’aversion au risque prédisent fortement les comportements de prévention contre le COVID-19. Les individus patients sont plus susceptibles de s’abstenir de rendre visite à leur famille, de porter un masque et de garder leurs distances en dehors de chez eux. L’aversion au risque augmente la probabilité de ne pas se réunir avec plus de cinq personnes extérieures au ménage et de ne plus rendre visite aux membres de la famille. Avoir un plus haut niveau de confiance envers les autres atténue au contraire le respect des recommandations sur les rassemblements de plus de cinq personnes et les réunions familiales, les individus faisant confiance aux autres percevant sans doute un moindre risque d’être infecté par des amis ou de la famille. Les opinions politiques extrêmes sont également associées à un moindre respect des recommandations sur les rassemblements de plus de cinq personnes. Ces résultats suggèrent de prendre en compte l’hétérogénéité des préférences et des croyances individuelles pour la définition des politiques et recommandations de prévention, notamment contre le COVID-19 .

The effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning physics pocketbook integrating Augmented Reality with the local wisdom of catapults in improving mathematical and graphical representation abilities
Authors: Rahmasari Alifia , Kuswanto Heru
Published: September 2023

This research aimed to reveal the effectiveness of using a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) physics pocketbook integrating augmented reality (AR) with the local wisdom of catapults in improving the mathematical and graphical representation abilities of high school students. This study is a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. The data collection was carried out in two stages, namely empirical testing and effectiveness testing stages. The empirical test was conducted on 276 grade XII students, while the effectiveness test was conducted on three science classes of grade XI students of State Senior High School (SMAN) 10 Yogyakarta. The three classes consisted of 36 students in the experimental class, 36 students in the Contrast Class 1, and 36 students in the Contrast 2 Class. The mathematical and graphical representation abilities were measured through a test instrument that passes the analysis of the empirical test using the QUEST program. General Linear Model (GLM) was utilized to analyze the effectiveness test, which was supported by the SPSS software. The result of the General Linear Model (GLM) analysis in the experimental class showed a significant value of 0.000 on the mathematical and graphical representation ability variables. The findings of this study indicate that the use of the developed Problem-Based Learning physics pocketbook integrating augmented reality with local wisdom is effective in increasing the mathematical and graphical representation abilities of grade XI students, with an effective contribution of 82.6% and 84.4% each.
Existence of normalized solutions for the Schrödinger equation
Authors: Deng Shengbing , Wu Qiaoran
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we devote to studying the existence of normalized solutions for the following Schrödinger equation with Sobolev critical nonlinearities.

   \begin{document}$ \begin{align*} &\left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u = \lambda u+\mu\lvert u \rvert^{q-2}u+\lvert u \rvert^{p-2}u&{\mbox{in}}\ \mathbb{R}^N,\\ \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\lvert u\rvert^2dx = a^2, \end{array}\right. \end{align*} $\end{document}

where $ N\geqslant 3 $, $ 2 < q < 2+\frac{4}{N} $, $ p = 2^* = \frac{2N}{N-2} $, $ a, \mu > 0 $ and $ \lambda\in\mathbb{R} $ is a Lagrange multiplier. Since the existence result for $ 2+\frac{4}{N} < p < 2^* $ has been proved, using an approximation method, that is let $ p\rightarrow 2^* $, we obtain that there exists a mountain-pass type solution for $ p = 2^* $.
Prediction of diabetic patients in Iraq using binary dragonfly algorithm with long-short term memory neural network

Published: September 2023

Over the past 20 years, there has been a surge of diabetes cases in Iraq. Blood tests administered in the absence of professional medical judgment have allowed for the early detection of diabetes, which will fasten disease detection and lower medical costs. This work focuses on the use of a Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) neural network for diabetes classification in Iraq. Some medical tests and body features were used as classification features. The most relevant features were selected using the Binary Dragon Fly Algorithm (BDA) Binary version of the selection method because the features either selected or not. To reduce the number of features that are used in prediction, features without effects will be eliminated. This effects the classification accuracy, which is very important in both the computation time of the method and the cost of medical test that the individual will take during annual check ups.This work found out that among 11 features, only five features are most relevant to the disease. These features provide a classification accuracy up to 98% among three classes: diabetic, non diabetic and pre-diabetic.
New remarks on the Kolmogorov entropy of certain coarse-grained deterministic systems
Authors: Moreau Michel , Gaveau Bernard
Published: September 2023

Unless an appropriate dissipation mechanism is introduced in its evolution, a deterministic system generally does not tend to equilibrium. However, coarse-graining such a system implies a mesoscopic representation which is no longer deterministic. The mesoscopic system should be addressed by stochastic methods, but they lead to practically infeasible calculations. However, following the pioneering work of Kolmogorov, one finds that such mesoscopic systems can be approximated by Markov processes in relevant conditions, mainly, if the microscopic system is ergodic. So, the mesoscopic system tends to stationarity in specific situations, as expected from thermodynamics. Kolmogorov proved that in the stationary case, the instantaneous entropy of the mesoscopic process, conditioned by its past trajectory, tends to a finite limit at infinite times. Thus, one can define the Kolmogorov entropy. It can be shown that in certain situations, this property remains true even in the nonstationary case. We anticipated this important conclusion in a previous article, giving some elements of a justification, whereas it is precisely derived below in relevant conditions and in the case of a discrete system. It demonstrates that the Kolmogorov entropy is linked to basic aspects of time, such as its irreversibility. This extends the well-known conclusions of Boltzmann and of more recent researchers and gives a general insight to the fascinating relation between time and entropy.
Multiplicity of positive periodic solutions for a discrete impulsive blood cell production model
Authors: Yan Yan
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we investigate the multiplicity of positive periodic solutions of a discrete blood cell production model with impulse effects. This model is described by periodic coefficients and time delays, as well as nonlinear feedback with exponential terms. By employing the Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem, we establish a sufficient condition for the existence of at least two positive periodic solutions. To this end, we construct solution transformation between an impulsive delay difference equation and the corresponding nonimpulsive delay difference equation. Aditionally, a solution representation of the positive periodic solution of the blood cell production model is presented. Moreover, a numerical example and its simulations are given to illustrate the main result.
An efficient linearly-implicit energy-preserving scheme with fast solver for the fractional nonlinear wave equation
Authors: Ma Tingting , He Yuehua
Published: September 2023

The paper considers the Hamiltonian structure and develops efficient energy-preserving schemes for the nonlinear wave equation with a fractional Laplacian operator. To this end, we first derive the Hamiltonian form of the equation by using the fractional variational derivative and then applying the finite difference method to the original equation to obtain a semi-discrete Hamiltonian system. Furthermore, the scalar auxiliary variable method and extrapolation technique is used to approximate a semi-discrete system to construct an efficient linearly-implicit energy-preserving scheme. A fast solver for the proposed scheme is presented to reduce CPU consumption. Ample numerical results are given to finally confirm the efficiency and conservation of the developed scheme.
SegT: Separated edge-guidance transformer network for polyp segmentation
Authors: Chen Feiyu , Ma Haiping , Zhang Weijia
Published: September 2023

Accurate segmentation of colonoscopic polyps is considered a fundamental step in medical image analysis and surgical interventions. Many recent studies have made improvements based on the encoder-decoder framework, which can effectively segment diverse polyps. Such improvements mainly aim to enhance local features by using global features and applying attention methods. However, relying only on the global information of the final encoder block can result in losing local regional features in the intermediate layer. In addition, determining the edges between benign regions and polyps could be a challenging task. To address the aforementioned issues, we propose a novel separated edge-guidance transformer (SegT) network that aims to build an effective polyp segmentation model. A transformer encoder that learns a more robust representation than existing convolutional neural network-based approaches was specifically applied. To determine the precise segmentation of polyps, we utilize a separated edge-guidance module consisting of separator and edge-guidance blocks. The separator block is a two-stream operator to highlight edges between the background and foreground, whereas the edge-guidance block lies behind both streams to strengthen the understanding of the edge. Lastly, an innovative cascade fusion module was used and fused the refined multi-level features. To evaluate the effectiveness of SegT, we conducted experiments with five challenging public datasets, and the proposed model achieved state-of-the-art performance.
Fan perspectives of queer representation in DC's Legends of Tomorrow on Tumblr and AO3
Authors: Marks Rachel
Published: September 2023

DC's Legends of Tomorrow (2016–2022) is a television show with an ensemble cast of existing characters from other DC TV shows, formed into a single, time-traveling team of antiheroes. The show is known for its inclusion of multiple queer characters, particularly Sara Lance, the show's long-running central character and captain of the Legends team and an openly bisexual woman. Fans use Tumblr and Archive of Our Own to discuss queer characters, canonical same-sex pairings, and noncanonical slash pairings. Queer representation in television matters to the show's fan community, and users are appreciative of and invested in canonically queer characters and pairings. Beyond the canon content, users are perhaps equally invested in noncanonical queer pairings and utilize manipulation of the source text in order to appreciate these pairings. Fans simultaneously enjoy watching and blogging about the show while also forming their own interpretations of queer characters and relationships. However, the central canon queer couple of the show is still by far the most popular with fans, and fans pay more attention to white characters and relationships, regardless of canonicity, than to the show's characters of color.

The Perception by University Students of the Use of ChatGPT in Education
Authors: Ngo Thi Thuy An
Published: September 2023

ChatGPT, a generative language model recently created by OpenAI, has drawn a lot of criticism from people all around the world. ChatGPT illustrates both potential opportunities and challenges in education. This study aims to investigate how university students perceive using ChatGPT for learning, including benefits, barriers, and potential solutions. To determine how students felt about using ChatGPT in their learning, a questionnaire was distributed to 200 students via an online survey, and 30 students participated in semi-structured interviews. The research results showed that, in general, students had a favorable opinion of ChatGPT’s application. The benefits of ChatGPT, according to students, included saving time, providing information in various areas, providing personalized tutoring and feedback, and illuminating ideas in writing. Also, several barriers to using ChatGPT were recognized, and some solutions were suggested for improvement of using ChatGPT in education. The most concerning issues for students while using ChatGPT were inability to assess the quality and reliability of sources, inability to cite sources accurately, and inability to replace words and use idioms accurately. To address these concerns, some potential solutions can be implemented; for example, verifying ChatGPT’s responses with reliable sources; using ChatGPT as a reference source or a consultant tool; providing guidelines for use; and promoting academic integrity to ensure ethical uses of ChatGPT in an academic context.

The Effectiveness of Using Mobile Learning Application on Undergraduates’ Intrinsic Motivation and Their General Nutrition Knowledge
Authors: AlKasasbeh Walaa Jumah , Amawi Adam Tawfik
Published: September 2023

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of using a mobile learning application on undergraduates’ intrinsic motivation and their general nutrition knowledge. This quasi-experimental study involved the participation of 125 students who were divided into two groups: a control group consisting of 62 students and an experimental group comprising 63 students. Pre- and post-intrinsic motivation questionnaires and a nutritional knowledge test were administered. The results showed significant differences between the control group and the experimental group. The experimental group exhibited a higher level of knowledge, and there were no statistically significant differences in intrinsic motivation between the control group and the experimental group. The application was found to be effective in improving nutrition knowledge but did not enhance intrinsic motivation. Further research may be needed to understand the factors that influence intrinsic motivation and how to effectively increase it.
Current Knowledge and Future Possibilities of Medical Digital Technologies based on Mobile Health
Authors: Salameh Anas A. , Abu-AlSondos Ibrahim A. , Abu Noor Hidayah , Nahar Harun Aizul
Published: September 2023

Medical digital technologies have the potential to improve public access to healthcare by enhancing its flexibility. The availability of complementary details about health, ailments, complications, and the most recent advancements in biomedical research are all included. Diagnostic and medical services are now becoming more available and accessible, especially in low-income countries. Regarding digital health technology, there are still a lot of challenges that need to be overcome, such as dependability, safety, testing, and ethical concerns. We propose that mobile technology should enhance rather than replace the psychiatrist-patient connection in the existing environment of inadequate regulatory oversight and scientific research to lessen possible clinical and moral harm to patients at risk. We identify potential areas of moral conflict between consumer-driven mobile businesses and healthcare practice and create a decision tree model for putting ethical safeguards in place. Informed consent, confidentiality, and shared treatment expectations are the main areas of attention for this paradigm when it comes to risk management in the therapeutic partnership. To comprehend the utility, capacity, and limitations, this study covers recent breakthroughs in mobile technologies, their applications, and a comparative analysis of their performance metrics. Understanding the weaknesses of current technologies can facilitate the creation of new frameworks with increased performance capabilities and superior service quality.

Published: September 2023

African Americans have experienced grave inequities in healthcare. These inequities have extended to mental health and continue to be a concern for African Americans. Paranoia is a mental health challenge that exists among African Americans, for varying reasons, including impacts from slavery, trauma, and current systematic discrimination. Due to low representation of healthcare providers among the African American community and African American distrust in the medical community, African Americans often turn to their church and the spiritual community for healing and support.

The Role of Nutrition in Social and Economic Development
Authors: Can Seher
Published: September 2023

Nutrition is the most basic need for human well-being. It also develops human capital. Foods are very important to all of us, and proper nutrition is essential for a healthy, active life. However, although the issues of access to food and healthy sustainable nutrition are very important for a healthy life, their effects on the economy cannot be ignored.
