Cable integrity risk assessment (CIRA)
Authors: Burley L , Terente V A , Hewitson L J , Stuart H J M
Published: May 2024

Understanding the current and potential risks over the lifetime of offshore cables is key to planning and budgeting maintenance operations, monitoring campaigns and potential remedial measures. The Cable Integrity Risk Assessment (CIRA) is a management procedure designed as a repeatable process for installed cables, defining post installation cable risk, utilising a similar method outlined in CBRA Carbon Trust guidance. The offshore industry may implement the CIRA process to identify the risk a cable is exposed to at its current Depth of Lowering (DoL) and recommend potential remedial activities. The remedial protection may include continual monitoring, remedial burial or external protection. The CIRA uses site data such as the measured DoL, initially during installation, as-surveyed following installation, or during the cable's lifetime to calculate risk profiles and recommend priority areas where remedial measures are required, ensuring that risk is suitably managed and within acceptable limits.

Authors: Gorbunov Oleg G. , Efetov Konstantin A.
Published: May 2024

Based on the analysis of quite extensive material collected in 57 habitats, data on the distribution of two species of the genus Negotinthia O. Gorbunov, 2001 in the Crimea are provided. It is shown that N. cingulata is widespread in the Mountain region of the Crimea and on the Hilly Kerch’ Peninsula, while Crimean endemic species N. efetovi turned out to be a representative of the fauna of the Plain region of the Crimea (with typical steppe vegetation), including the Tarkhankut Peninsula. The positive role of artificial sex attractants for the practice of clarifying the details of the distribution of individual species has been confirmed once again.

Comparison Utilization of UAV Images & Satellite Images for Geospatial Analysis
Authors: Giri Manisha , Nongkynrih Jenita M
Published: May 2024

The rapid advancements in remote sensing technologies have opened new avenues for geospatial analysis by providing high-quality imagery and data. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and satellites have emerged as prominent tools for capturing Earth's surface information, each offering unique advantages and limitations. This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of the utilisation of UAV images and satellite images in geospatial analysis. The practical implications of employing UAVs and satellites in diverse scenarios include environmental monitoring, disaster management, urban planning, and agriculture. The benefits of UAVs, such as their ability to capture high- resolution images with precision and on-demand deployment, are contrasted with satellites' global coverage and consistent monitoring capabilities. Integrating UAV and satellite data is emphasized as a complementary approach to geospatial analysis. Techniques for fusing data from these sources are discussed, enabling the creation of comprehensive datasets that combine detailed local information from UAVs with broader context from satellite imagery.

Published: May 2024

Surveillance radar is most prominently utilized to detect aircraft and ships, including those in aviation, military, maritime, and security applications. Surveillance radar systems are cutting-edge technology for detecting various entities using radio waves. The main intention of this project is to design and construct a radar system to detect stationary objects by measuring their distance and angle of rotation. These mechanisms consist of a sonar-established tracking system that continuously supervises the object. This project will employ an ultrasonic sensor that is placed on a servomotor for the rotations. If the sensor detects the object, it will display the target distance and angle of rotation on the LCD with a graphical representation. The main directing tool is the Arduino UNO, which is filled with programs written in embedded C.
Testing Resilience: Secondary School Teachers’ First- Hand Experiences on the Full Implementation of Face-to-Face Classes
Authors: Billones Yvonette Estrada
Published: May 2024

This study explored the lived experiences, challenges encountered, coping mechanisms, and insights of public secondary school teachers on the full imple- mentation of face-to-face classes in schools. The partici- pants were coming from Cogon National High School of the Island Garden City of Samal Division (IGACOS), Region XI. There were eight teachers who participated in the study. This study made use of a phenomenological approach to extract the ideas from the participants. The participants were purposely selected as representatives from the group of secondary school teachers who are assigned in the same school. The virtual in-depth inter- view was employed to gather significant information with regard to their respective lived experiences. Using the thematic analysis, the following themes emerged per- taining to their lived experiences: focusing on learners‘ interpersonal skills, teaching with limitations, and hur- dling work fatigues. There were three sub-themes that emerged from the challenges encountered or work fa- tigue by the participants. These are heavy additional workloads, interactions hindered by protocols, and obvi- ous learning gaps. The two coping mechanisms of teach- ers as participants in the challenges they experienced were creating recovery programs and professional de- velopment training for teachers in the new normal. The two educational management insights drawn from the participants were adherence to safety protocols and the importance of blended learning. Thus, Division officials, District Supervisors, School administrators and heads may encourage and support their teachers by reviewing their workloads and by supporting their efforts to ad- dress learning gaps in schools. They may also implement a comprehensive program or capacity building and pro- fessional development to help teachers to be effective and efficient in the full implementation of face-to-face classes and alternative modalities in schools.

General health and dental health are equally important. Periodontal disease, gingivitis, plaque, and sore throats may affect a higher proportion of the population these days. To support maintaining the best possible dental health, several formulae are available. To support maintaining the best possible dental health, several formulae are available. Using mouthwash is recommended to lessen plaque, discomfort, bacteria, and bad breath. Herbal mouthwash is preferred over chemical mouthwash since it has fewer side effects or almost no side effects, doesn't include alcohol, and is not irritating. Medicinal plants can be used for prevention, treatment and management of disease as they have antibacterial qualities against pathogens that afflict humans. Compared to synthetic mouthwash, herbal mouthwash has fewer or no negative effects because it is made from extracts of crude drugs. Several plant extracts are used to make herbal mouthwashes. The following herbs which are helpful in dentistry are mentioned in this article: clove, peppermint, miswak, Tulsi, wintergreen, guava, pomegranate, and cinnamon. Mouthwashes made with natural ingredients that people may easily make and use safely at home could improve dental health in general. Using natural mouthwash to maintain dental health is the main objective of this review.
Interpretative Analysis of the Translation of Matthew 6:12 in the Farefare Bible
Authors: Akaninga Alexander , Kuwornu-Adjaottor Jonathan E.T. , Akaninga Amutanga
Published: May 2024

The study sought to analyze the translation of the Greek word “ἄφες” (forgive) as “patience” in the Farefare language of the Upper East Region of the Republic of Ghana. Using the views of respondents in the field study conducted as well the mother-tongue biblical hermeneutics methodology by Kuwornu-Adjaottor, the findings of the study maintained that the Farefare term suguru which is often used to translate “ἄφες,” is inappropriate because suguru is a noun, while “ἄφες” is a verb. The study also established that the word bahɛ in Farefare means “forgive,” and frequently accompanies the noun be’em (sin/wrongdoing). The cultural understanding of the Farefare is that patience is necessary before granting forgiveness. As a result, this research recommends that the Farefare translation incorporates both “patience” and “forgive” in the appropriate order (that is patience first and then forgive) to reflect the intended meaning of the text and the indigenous cultural understanding. This work contributes to interpreting Biblical texts in the field of theology.

Keywords: Sin, Forgiveness, Lord’s Prayer, Matthew, Luke, Farefare Translation, Patience, Suguru, ἄφες
Introduction: The Value of Institutional Poetry
Authors: Moine Fabienne
Published: May 2024

This special issue focuses on institution-based poetry in Britain and its empire. It explores the links between institutions and poetry and how institutions and institutional systems, while imposing their systems of rules, also encouraged the production of poetry. The articles examine how institutional poets questioned Britain’s systems of rule and its global hegemonic power. The introduction to the volume opens with the historiography of institutions – gradually viewed as social institutions rather than mere administrative entities – progressively giving pride of place to the study of individuals within the collective. Then the introduction considers how the subgenre of institutional poetics offers a valuable resource for an interdisciplinary and comparative approach to the study of institutions. Indeed, institutional poems lend themselves to literary analysis and are also sources of testimony for historians and sociologists about the experience of institutional life. Finally, it highlights some of the reasons for the preference given to this specific literary form among institutional users.
Sp1149. II. Spectroscopy of H ii Regions near the Critical Curve of MACS J1149 and Cluster Lens Models
Authors: Williams Hayley , Kelly Patrick , Chen Wenlei , Diego Jose M. , Oguri Masamune , Filippenko Alexei V.
Published: May 2024

Galaxy-cluster gravitational lenses enable the study of faint galaxies even at large lookback times, and, recently, time-delay constraints on the Hubble constant. There have been few tests, however, of lens model predictions adjacent to the critical curve (≲8″) where the magnification is greatest. In a companion paper, we use the GLAFIC lens model to constrain the Balmer L–σ relation for H ii regions in a galaxy at redshift z = 1.49 strongly lensed by the MACS J1149 galaxy cluster. Here we perform a detailed comparison between the predictions of 10 cluster lens models that employ multiple modeling assumptions with our measurements of 11 magnified, giant H ii regions. We find that that the models predict magnifications an average factor of 6.2 smaller, a ∼2σ tension, than that inferred from the H ii regions under the assumption that they follow the low-redshift L–σ relation. To evaluate the possibility that the lens model magnifications are strongly biased, we next consider the flux ratios among knots in three images of Sp1149, and find that these are consistent with model predictions. Moreover, while the mass-sheet degeneracy could in principle account for a factor of ∼6 discrepancy in magnification, the value of H
0 inferred from SN Refsdal’s time delay would become implausibly small. We conclude that the lens models are not likely to be highly biased, and that instead the H ii regions in Sp1149 are substantially more luminous than the low-redshift Balmer L–σ relation predicts.

Published: May 2024

Since synchrotron polarization fluctuations are related to the fundamental properties of the magnetic field, we propose the polarization intensity variance to measure the Galactic interstellar medium (ISM) magnetization. We confirm the method’s applicability by comparing it with the polarization angle dispersion and its reliability by measuring the underlying Alfvénic Mach number of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. With the finding of the power-law relation of

and Alfvénic Mach number M
A, we apply the new technique to the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey data, achieving the Alfvénic Mach number of the Galactic ISM. Our results show that the low-latitude Galactic ISM is dominated by sub-Alfénic turbulence, with M
A approximately between 0.5 and 1.0.
M-Dwarf Flare Candidates Simultaneously Observed by K2 and TESS
Authors: Caudill Dylan S. , Slamecka Thomas , Gerber Jeffrey M.
Published: May 2024

We present results of a study on the identification of M-dwarf flares using K2 and TESS data. Our sample includes objects observed simultaneously by these two missions, so that we can also compare how flares are identified in the two sets of data. We implement two open-source Python packages, Lightkurve and PyVAN, to work in unison to easily access the data and determine variability in the light curves of 39 M-dwarfs. We identified 13 flare detections in the TESS data while K2 did not provide any reliable detections of flares. We describe the shortcomings of the K2 data that prevented these flares from being identified.
Localizing Stellar Activity on Low-mass Stars with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
Authors: Moquin Julie , Ealy Jordan , Schlieder Joshua E. , Johns-Krull Christopher
Published: May 2024

Magnetic reconnection is the underlying cause of stellar flares which are linked to regions of high magnetic activity, like star spots. To understand trends in stellar activity, we need to study how it is heightened by rapid rotation and deep convection in young low-mass stars. We analyze light curves of such stars observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite to investigate trends in flare timing with starspot modulation signals. Trends in flare properties and spot modulation can provide a means to “localize” which face of a star flares more frequently and better understand their association with active regions. We present an analysis of light curves from M and K dwarfs with no companions from five nearby and young moving groups spanning ages ∼20–150 Myr. We discuss a technique to analyze the distribution of flares and star spots and describe our results, which reveal a tentative correlation.

The creation of “healthy” scientific software is vital for its successful long-term adoption in scientific research. Here healthy code is defined to mean software that is usable, maintainable, and proffers consistently reproducible results. Incorporating tooling and practices to achieve these goals often leads to short-term, yet significant, overhead for new projects. We introduce the LINCC Frameworks Python Project Template, a configurable code template designed for scientific software projects that greatly simplifies adopting best practices by automating the setup and configuration of important tools locally and via a suite of GitHub workflows. Notably, the template does not include any application-specific code, thereby enabling users to focus on their scientific code rather than building or maintaining code infrastructure.

Observations are key to understanding the state of nature, the drivers of biodiversity loss and the impacts on ecosystem services and ultimately on people. Many EU policies and initiatives call for unbiased, integrated and regularly updated data on biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, biodiversity monitoring efforts are spatially and temporally fragmented, taxonomically biased and not integrated across Europe. EuropaBON has addressed this gap by developing an EU-wide framework for biodiversity monitoring.

With this deliverable, EuropaBON proposes the terms of reference for an EU Biodiversity Observation Coordination Centre (EBOCC), a permanent infrastructure that could coordinate and foster the generation and use of high quality data to underpin the biodiversity knowledge-base used across EU policies, providing guidance and trainings when necessary. Such a centre represents one of the key solutions to overcome the critical challenges of biodiversity monitoring in Europe. Having this integrated and continuous monitoring capacity would allow more timely and efficient interventions that would optimise our capacity to revert biodiversity loss and prevent environmental degradation. It would also increase the value-added to the data flows, reaching high-value outputs with some existing low-value inputs. 

This deliverable offers a critical analysis of the existing monitoring landscape in Europe, extracting key messages about

the main challenges, lessons learned and possible solutions. Based on a comprehensive analysis of needs and, most importantly, on an inclusive consultation process, the deliverable designs an EBOCC that tackles the key biodiversity monitoring challenges. The proposal specifies the mission, the tasks, the most urgent topics, the main policies and the key stakeholders that the EBOCC should serve and focus on during the first stage of its implementation. It also includes detailed analyses about governance models and potential costs.

With this proposal, EuropaBON fosters the setting up and testing an operational EBOCC that could address the urgent need for coordination, integration, harmonisation and strengthening of biodiversity data collection and analysis, in order to inform policy-making at local, national, European and international level.
Analysis and strategies for urban freight logistics in a low emission zone
Authors: Alvarez Gallo Sandra Milena , Echavarria Cuervo Jacobo Hernan , Maheut Julien
Published: May 2024

Purpose: This paper aims to identify complementary strategies for urban freight logistics in a low emission zone (LEZ) that can be implemented in downtown Medellin, Colombia. The strategies will be executed by identifying the characteristics and problems of the business establishments in the area and the entrepreneurs’ opinions.Design/Methodology/Approach: First, a literature review is performed in order to identify global and complementary strategies for the future LEZ, which is the study subject. Then, a “pilot” zone (a main corridor) of downtown Medellín is selected and the business establishment of the area are identified in order to spot problems and evaluate possible strategies for the future LEZ. This identification and evaluation phase is conducted through an interview with logistics managers in 105 establishments selected in the corridor for analysis.Findings: One of the outstanding findings concerns the specificity of the logistics and mobility problems in downtown Medellin, which is located in Colombia, a developing country. The main problems are traffic congestion, lack of regulation and control in loading and unloading areas, as well as inadequate infrastructure for these operations. These obstacles have a significant impact on business activities and air quality in the area. The proposed solutions to complement the LEZ strategy for freight transport focus on improving regulation, establishing specific loading and unloading areas, exploring sustainable transportation options such as the cargo bike, and supporting small and medium-sized businesses. This emphasizes the complexity of the situation and the need for a comprehensive approach to address these logistical and environmental challenges.Originality/Value: This study focuses on the analysis of urban freight logistics strategies that complement the traffic flow restriction policies imposed by low-emission zones. Unlike other studies that address these two issues independently, this paper specifically examines how to improve a LEZ as a comprehensive strategy to reduce the environmental impact of freight transport. In addition, it is noted that most publications tend to focus on passenger mobility strategies, which highlights the potential for research in the freight logistics field.
Integration of predictive and computational intelligent techniques: A hybrid optimization mechanism for PMSM dynamics reinforcement
Authors: Chirantan Shaswat , Bhusan Pati Bibhuti
Published: May 2024

This paper presents an integrated approach combining a sequential neural network (SNN) with model predictive control (MPC) to enhance the performance of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). We address the challenges of traditional control methods that struggle with the dynamics and nonlinear nature of PMSMs, offering a solution that leverages the predictive capabilities of MPC and the adaptive learning potential of neural networks. Our SNN-MPC model is contrasted with state-of-the-art genetic algorithm (GA) and ant colony optimization (ACO) methods through a comprehensive simulation analysis. This analysis critically examines the dynamic responses, including current, torque, and speed profiles, of the PMSM under proposed hybrid control strategies. The heart of the work deals with the optimal switching states and subsequent voltage injection to the inverter fed PMSM drive by a predefined minimization principle of a current modulated objective function, where MPC constitutes an integral finite control set (IFCS) mechanism for voltage vector selection and thereby selects the optimized integral gains Kd and Kq for direct and quadrature axes, respectively, with the FCS gain Kfcs  obtained from implemented intelligent techniques. Based on the control criteria, the SNN-MPC scheme was established as the preferred benchmark with optimized tuning values of Kd = 0.01, Kq = 0.006, and Kfcs = 0.13, as compared to the gain values tuned from GA and ACO. The experimental setup utilized MATLAB and a Python environment for robust and flexible simulation, ensuring an equitable basis for comparison across all models.

MSFSS: A whale optimization-based multiple sampling feature selection stacking ensemble algorithm for classifying imbalanced data
Authors: Wang Shuxiang , Shao Changbin , Xu Sen , Yang Xibei , Yu Hualong
Published: May 2024

Learning from imbalanced data is a challenging task in the machine learning field, as with this type of data, many traditional supervised learning algorithms tend to focus more on the majority class while damaging the interests of the minority class. Stacking ensemble, which formulates an ensemble by using a meta-learner to combine the predictions of multiple base classifiers, has been used for solving class imbalance learning issues. Specifically, in the context of class imbalance learning, a stacking ensemble learning algorithm is generally considered to combine with a specific sampling algorithm. Such an operation, however, might suffer from suboptimization problems as only using a sampling strategy may make it difficult to acquire diverse enough features. In addition, we also note that using all of these features may damage the meta-learner as there may exist noisy and redundant features. To address these problems, we have proposed a novel stacking ensemble learning algorithm named MSFSS, which divides the learning procedure into two phases. The first stage combined multiple sampling algorithms and multiple supervised learning approaches to construct meta feature space by means of cross combination. The adoption of this strategy satisfied the diversity of the stacking ensemble. The second phase adopted the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) to select the optimal sub-feature combination from the meta feature space, which further improved the quality of the features. Finally, a linear regression classifier was trained as the meta learner to conduct the final prediction. Experimental results on 40 benchmarked imbalanced datasets showed that the proposed MSFSS algorithm significantly outperformed several popular and state-of-the-art class imbalance ensemble learning algorithms. Specifically, the MSFSS acquired the best results in terms of the F-measure metric on 27 datasets and the best results in terms of the G-mean metric on 26 datasets, out of 40 datasets. Although it required consuming more time than several other competitors, the increment of the running time was acceptable. The experimental results indicated the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed MSFSS algorithm.

In this article, we implemented the idea of a fuzzy interval-valued function with the well-known generalized fuzzy fractional operators, associated with different types of convexities and preinvexities. We developed the Prabhakar fuzzy fractional operators using the fuzzy interval-valued function. We presented the novel extensions of Hermite-Hadamard fuzzy-type and trapezoidal fuzzy-type inequalities, based on the $ h $-Godunova-Levin convex and $ h $-Godunova preinvex fuzzy interval-valued functions.
A Pragmatist Interpretation and Defense of Entity Realism
Authors: Sidzińska Maja
Published: May 2024

This paper offers a pragmatist interpretation of Ian Hacking’s version of entity realism, and shows that such an interpretation enables the view to withstand a number of objections. Specifically, the paper shows Hacking’s rejection of a representationalist epistemology, which realist critics unjustifiably attribute to him, and shows his endorsement of a Deweyan pragmatist epistemology instead. If the interpretation is correct, the objections (a) that entity manipulation is theory-laden, (b) that the concept of home truths cannot do the work Hacking envisioned, (c) that entity realism is a form of inference to the best explanation (IBE), (d) that some real entities aren’t manipulable, and (e) that some non-real entities are manipulable, lose much of their force. Objections (a), (b), and (c) rest on a metaepistemological misunderstanding, while objections (d) and (e) are addressed with (pragmatist) clarifications. This paper also offers a novel pragmatist argument for entity realism: the argument from technology. The argument from technology maintains that the reality of the entities that constitute our technologies is a precondition for those technologies’ meaningful use. In this case, entity realism remains a more viable perspective on science than is commonly acknowledged.
Creative Resilience
Authors: Solymosi Tibor , Schulkin Jay
Published: May 2024

We articulate a conception of resilience via allostasis and the free energy principle to augment Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s conception of antifragility. Creative resilience is resilience 3.0, after robustness (1.0) and antifragility (2.0), because creative resilience is the deliberate effort to construct ecological niches toward a more caring and thus more viable world for more people – what Dewey proffered as the moral ideal of creative democracy. Viability is understood as the healthy tension between stability and precarity. Viability is related to regulatory mechanisms of homeostasis and allostasis. Along with discussion of the free energy principle, we situate these processes of the internal milieu within the external milieu. Ecological niche construction and ecological psychological affordances are related to human practices as means of generating culture. Culture is both a product and producer of the process of valuation, which originates in evolution but is further developed by the free energy principle and social allostasis. The collective languishing exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic can be ameliorated through creative resilience so conceived as social allostasis writ large.
The Challenges of Post-Philosophy
Authors: Salihu Astrit
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this paper is to outline a conceptual map of Rorty’s post-philosophical endeavor. This endeavor serves the purpose of reevaluating and rethinking the West as a project specific to philosophy, enabling a view of the West from a different perspective – as a non-philosophical project through which an open liberal and post-philosophical culture are developed. Part one of the paper focuses on the problem of truth in traditional philosophy and shows how Rorty observes the challenges that philosophy faces as it falls into the trap of searching for the truth. Rorty asserts that he and the pragmatists simply do not offer any “theory of truth”; instead, he employs the formulation “theory about truth.” Furthermore, the paper will examine the rhetorical strategies and the anti-essentialist redescription of liberalism. Instead of a conclusion, the paper focuses on universal irony in the light of post-philosophical laughter, which is often oversimplified as a callous reaction of cynical mirth, which can be swiftly repudiated when considering its broad context of the meaning that irony and laughter would hold in Rorty’s liberal society.
Talent and the social physics of inequalities
Authors: Menger Pierre-Michel
Published: May 2024

Talent and creativity are widely regarded as the ultimate factors and drivers of economic success in societies experiencing rising income inequalities, job polarization, and global mobility of high-skilled workers. Yet, due to obstacles surrounding their definition, the content and causal effectiveness of these two factors remain obscure, or are even dismissed as purely social constructs. Drawing mainly on studies of artistic and scientific work, this article proposes avenues for solving this enigma, by connecting four research strands: the imbalances present in creative career trajectories arising from relative, performance-based valuation; the multidimensionality of skills and the multi­stage training process; the variability of non-routine work; and the stratification effect of assortative matching in teamwork and collaboration. The final section examines how the workforce “talentification” impacts compensation practices, with pay scales getting legitimized according to large, supposedly Paretian-like individual performance differentials.

Un encadrement négocié de la rente locative ? Usages ambivalents du « permis de louer » face à la division des pavillons en banlieue de Paris
Authors: Frel-Cazenave Benoît
Published: May 2024

De nouveaux instruments sont mis à la disposition des collectivités locales en France pour encadrer le marché locatif privé. Cette contribution examine l’un d’entre eux, le « permis de louer » en s’appuyant sur une enquête de terrain menée dans une commune située en banlieue nord de Paris, Pierrefitte-sur-Seine. L’article retrace les justifications politiques de l’instauration d’un tel instrument : face à la division de l’habitat pavillonnaire et sa conversion en logements locatifs privés, les élus locaux cherchent à contrôler l’évolution du bâti et limiter sa dégradation. Les propriétaires bailleurs sont particulièrement ciblés par l’action publique locale, au travers de la mise en pratique de ce « permis de louer ». L’analyse des politiques locales d’encadrement du marché locatif montre comment les acteurs publics locaux anticipent les attentes des propriétaires bailleurs pour susciter leur adhésion à un instrument censé les contraindre.

Il adopte une perspective comparative à partir des descriptions disponibles pour les différentes langues créoles tout en se situant aux intersections entre grammaire et pragmatique. L’article introduira d’abord les concepts théoriques nécessaires pour l’analyse des structures adhortatives. Il s’intéressera ensuite au statut grammatical de l’élément anou en discutant de différentes options : Anou est-il situé dans le groupe nominal ou peut-on l’interpréter comme ‘verbe adhortatif’ ? Ou bien faut-il le classifier comme particule ? Si tel est le cas, quelle est sa position parmi les autres particules (préverbales) des langues créoles ?Nous dépouillerons la littérature existante, notamment les grammaires des différentes langues créoles, et nous nous servirons d’exemples puisés dans les réseaux sociaux et des matériels didactiques pour illustrer le phénomène. Nous proposerons une évaluation des arguments en faveur ou contre les catégorisations potentielles de anou pour recommander une classification provisoire comme ‘marqueur pragmatique’.
L’Invention constructive face à la norme
Authors: Berthier Stéphane
Published: May 2024

Architectes et techniciens font aujourd’hui face à une double injonction contradictoire. D’une part, ils doivent proposer des alternatives constructives sobres et décarbonées pour se conformer à la nouvelle Réglementation environnementale 2020 et redécouvrent pour cela l’usage de matériaux anciens que l’on dit désormais « naturels », « crus », « biosourcés » ou « géosourcés ». Mais ils doivent d’autre part respecter l’ensemble du cadre réglementaire préexistant qui fixe des exigences en termes de sécurité, de pérennité et de confort, obtenues grâce aux performances remarquables des matériaux modernes et notamment du béton armé. L’urgence de la transition écologique se confronte alors à la lenteur prudente avec laquelle le corpus réglementaire intègre les particularités de la construction bas carbone réalisée avec des matériaux réputés fragiles. Dans un premier temps, cette enquête s’intéressera aux récentes démarches entreprises par des acteurs de la filière bois pour demander la révision de la réglementation incendie et à leur réception par les autorités. Ce processus montre que le cadre réglementaire est le fruit de consensus entre des forces antagonistes d’innovation et de prudence, aux temporalités très différentes et que ce cadre est in fine l’expression juridique du niveau de risques auquel une société consent. Dans un second temps, l’analyse du projet aux objectifs écologiques exemplaires de l’école des Messageries lancé par la ville de Paris, qui fait la part belle aux matériaux biosourcés et géosourcés, montre que l’invention constructive est prise dans les rets du cadre réglementaire et normatif et ne peut être développée qu’en articulation avec lui. Si les études de ce projet témoignent d’un travail important et concluant de recherche d’équivalences en matière de gestion des risques, c’est au prix d’une augmentation des couches de protections au feu et d’une sophistication constructive qui grèvent son bilan carbone. Enfin, en s’attachant exclusivement à la définition des éléments matériels de l’architecture, ce projet reste aveugle aux exigences réglementaires de confort que la modernité nous a permis de fixer et qui pèsent plus lourd dans le bilan carbone de l’édifice que toute sa superstructure. Il est donc urgent d’élargir la réflexion pour questionner les pratiques architecturales courantes dans leur rapport avec les normes sociales relatives aux usages et au confort.
Le cours du Herschel
Authors: Cheval François
Published: May 2024

Certaines images ont acquis une place particulière dans le « panthéon » de l’histoire de la photographie. Le portrait frontal de Sir John Herschel, réalisé par Julia Margaret Cameron en avril 1867, fait partie de ces rares spécimens qui, sans aucune discussion, doivent figurer dans les collections publiques et privées. Lors de la vente historique de Genève en 1961, l’image de l’illustre scientifique britannique atteint un prix record. Depuis, elle ne cesse de s’imposer comme la marque évidente du « talent » de l’autrice, incarnant la photographie comme volonté d’art. De quelles qualités intrinsèques ce portrait est-il doté, pour qu’il soit désormais considéré comme l’objet photographique parfait ? Référence ultime, il est une narration particulière, mise en place dès l’origine par la photographe elle-même, qui s’appuie, entre autres, sur cette image pour affermir sa réputation, c’est-à-dire son nom et son « œuvre ». Associé dorénavant à Cameron, le portrait de Herschel s’est installé définitivement dans le monde des biens de prestige, un univers restreint et univoque.
Les bizarreries climatiques et leurs interprétations à travers l'histoire : entre le déluge de Noé et les pluies de sang
Authors: Youssef Charbel
Published: May 2024

L’objectif de cette recherche réside dans l’exploration des phénomènes climatiques insolites du 18ème au 20ème siècle, en les mettant en parallèle avec des interprétations mythiques et religieuses, telles que le déluge de Noé et les pluies de sang. L'étude est centrée sur l'analyse de la transition progressive de l'explication de ces phénomènes, depuis des perspectives mythiques et religieuses vers des compréhensions plus scientifiques et empiriques. Elle mobilise des données historiques, des textes religieux et des études scientifiques pour retracer l'évolution de la compréhension humaine des bizarreries climatiques, en mettant l'accent sur le rôle des avancées scientifiques dans la démystification de ces phénomènes, tout en interagissant avec les croyances religieuses existantes. L’agencement offre une progression structurée, débutant par un examen du contexte historique, se penchant ensuite sur l’exploration des interprétations religieuses, avant d’aborder les explications scientifiques. Ce schéma méthodique permet ainsi d’analyser les perceptions et les représentations collectives des bizarreries climatiques à travers l’histoire.
Trier le vivant urbain. Entre héritages et normes, des pratiques toujours teintées de sélection
Authors: Judic Aurélien , Bognon Sabine
Published: May 2024

Le rapport des acteurs de la gestion du vivant à la biodiversité est un enjeu central dans l’avenir des espaces urbains : non seulement la majorité de la population humaine habite en ville ou dans l’aire d’influence d’un espace urbain, mais cette urbanisation du monde est une des causes principales de l’érosion de la biodiversité à l’échelle globale. Cet article propose d’examiner les enjeux de tri et de soin du vivant qui organisent et influencent l’évolution du rapport des gestionnaires et in fine, des citadins à la biodiversité urbaine. Dans une première partie, nous explorons l’héritage des différentes cultures gestionnaires du vivant en ville, à travers une revue de la littérature sur l’hygiénisme et ses évolutions (post-hygiénisme et néo-hygiénisme). Nous analysons ensuite le corpus réglementaire et les modalités de son application ou non par les praticiens. Enfin, nous présentons les résultats d’une enquête auprès d’acteurs publics et parapublics de la gestion des espaces publics urbains dans plusieurs collectivités françaises. Cette enquête montre une diversité de représentations voire de récits qui produisent différents registres de légitimation d’un tri du vivant non humain en ville.
Sécheresse : urgence climatique ou urgence de la planification ? Perception du management de crise en Belgique
Authors: Thibaut Kevin , Schiffino Nathalie , Ozer Pierre
Published: May 2024

Les sécheresses s’invitent partout, plus fréquemment et intensément. La récurrence de celles-ci contribue à l’urgence climatique. L’une et l’autre sont reconnues. Mais cela enclenche-t-il une anticipation politique et un management public des épisodes de déficit hydrique ? La Belgique possède un système de planification d’urgence et de gestion de crise bien rôdé et régulièrement mis en œuvre pour des incidents inopinés, mais qui semble peu adapté à des risques émergents et progressifs comme les sécheresses. À travers les retours d’expérience de professionnels de la gestion de crise à un échelon local, cette étude offre une image critique de la perception de ce phénomène au sein du management de crise et propose quelques pistes d’amélioration de la gestion des déficits hydriques. L’analyse des entretiens a mis en évidence que : (1) la gouvernance multiniveau dans un régime politique fédéral comportant une répartition complexe des compétences rend difficile une action publique concertée face à un risque aux impacts multiples ; (2) la préoccupation envers les sécheresses est fortement dépendante des conséquences réellement perceptibles sur le territoire étudié ; (3) la sécheresse est perçue davantage comme un événement météorologique ponctuel que comme une urgence climatique synonyme de crise potentielle à planifier. Cette étude révèle néanmoins une prise de conscience accrue des acteurs de terrain quant à la nécessité d’agir face aux sécheresses via une optimisation des administrations publiques, des seuils d’alerte et des plans particuliers d’urgence et d’intervention. Il demeure une difficulté majeure : transformer cette prise de conscience en une mise à l’agenda politique, étape indispensable pour une gestion globale et durable des sécheresses.
Les micro-végétalisations de l’espace public : des actes militants encadrés ?
Authors: Nagib Gustavo
Published: May 2024

Cet article porte sur le processus de micro-végétalisation de l'espace public à Lausanne, en Suisse romande, analysant l’action de jardiner la ville selon la perspective militante. Cette démarche met en lumière trois différents cadrages – le cadre officiel, le cadre post-officiel et le cadre alter-institutionnel –, qui à leur tour font référence à trois figures différenciées de l’action citadine face au processus d’institutionnalisation des pratiques de micro-végétalisation : l’adhésion à la politique publique, l'indifférence face au « permis de végétaliser », et le refus du cadrage institutionnel. Résultat d'une recherche essentiellement qualitative qui se proposait d'investiguer trois cas concrets auprès de citadins et de la collectivité publique qui illustrent chacun des cadres évoqués précédemment, l'accent est mis sur le processus de végétalisation urbaine depuis la microéchelle locale. Comme contribution analytique au cas lausannois et en raison de ses interventions pionnières, l'article présente également le cas de Maurice Maggi, artiste-activiste zurichois connu en Suisse grâce à ses actions de « guérilla jardinière » depuis les années 1980.
