PAUL'S CONCEPT OF POLITICS IN ROMANS 13:1-7 AND ITS IMPLICATIONS ON EVANGELICAL CHURCH WINNING ALL (ECWA)
Authors: Emmanuel O. Malomo
Published: September 2022

Politics is the art of governance and as such a responsibility for every citizen to participate in it. The Church in Rome finds it extremely difficult to understand the concept of politics. This may be due to the cruelty of the wicked Emperor at the helm of affair during the apostolic era. Apostle Paul’s concept of politics about Christians and civil authority is a point of reference for generations. Nigeria Constitution adjudge every citizen to be responsible to the constituted authority. ECWA as a Church denomination is quiescent about participation of staff and members in partisan politics, but gratifying the dividends. This may not be unconnected with some part of ECWA Bye-laws that forbids active political participation especially of persons under her employment. Since no church’s Constitution and Bye-laws can be greater than biblical injunctions, the researcher undertakes to study Paul’s Concept of Politics as enshrines in Romans 13:1-7 in relations to ECWA policies on membership political participation. The study employs historical, analytical and exegetical methods. Findings reveals that ECWA policies on political participation arose from a misconstrue notion that politics is a dirty game bedeviled with devilish activities. The study concludes that since Apostle Paul admonished the Roman Christians to submit to constituted authority and play their roles in carrying out their civil responsibility to the political policies of rulers of his time, politics itself might not be as dirty as they assumed. The study recommends a review of ECWA Constitution and Bye-laws.

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) telah melanda seluruh dunia. WHO telah menetapkannya sebagai penyakit dengan status pandemi. Penyakit ini menyerang sistem pernapasan dan ditularkan melalui droplet. Pemerintah Indonesia telah mengeluarkan pedoman pencegahan penularan Covid-19 dengan menerapkan protokol kesehatan sesuai aturan WHO. Namun, masih banyak orang yang masih belum percaya dengan keberadaan virus corona. Hal ini membuat pemerintah sulit menerapkan protokol kesehatan dengan standar bagi masyarakat, terutama di daerah luar Jawa dan Bali. Ketidakpercayaan masyarakat disebabkan oleh kurangnya kejelasan informasi dan banyaknya berita hoax yang beredar di masyarakat. Hal ini juga dialami oleh orang tua/wali mahasiswa di kampus Laboratorium Teknologi Medik Universitas Megarezky yang sebagian besar berdomisili di provinsi Indonesia bagian tengah dan timur. Berdasarkan kondisi tersebut, kami tergerak untuk menganalisis pemahaman dan kepatuhan orang tua/wali siswa dan mengedukasi mereka tentang cara pencegahan Covid-19. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pencegahan penyebaran penyakit Covid-19. Metode kegiatan dilakukan secara online via zoom cloud meeting dan google form melalui tiga tahap yaitu a) Evaluasi awal (pre-test) untuk mengevaluasi pemahaman peserta tentang Covid-19, b) Penyuluhan terkait edukasi dan pencegahan Covid- 19, c) Evaluasi pemahaman (post-test) Covid-19 setelah mengikuti penyuluhan. Hasil analisis menunj          ukkan penyuluhan terkait edukasi dan pencegahan Covid-19 dapat meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat akan pentingnya menerapkan dan menjaga protokol kesehatan, cara pembuatan disinfektan, tracking and tracing, serta informasi bahan makanan yang dapat meningkatkan imunitas tubuh. untuk menangani Covid-19.

Evaluation of the perception of safety attitudes among physicians and nurses in hospitals is important to ensure optimum patient care. The objectives are to assess the perception of medical personnel on safety attitudes at their workplace and to measure the correlation between domains and factors studied. A cross-sectional study involving 160 physicians and 304 nurses is conducted at a teaching hospital. A validated Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) consisting of 6 domains is used to measure the perception of medical personnel on safety attitude at their workplace. The Mann-Whitney test was performed for the comparison of the mean scores between two categorical variables and Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the relationship between two numerical variables in terms of strength and direction. Job satisfaction (73.4 ± 17.6) and management perception (56.1 ± 12.9) domains recorded the highest and lowest mean scores respectively. Doctors showed the highest perceived positive attitudes towards stress identification (57.5%) whereas perception of management (9.4%) has the lowest score, and the nurses showed the highest perceived positive attitudes towards job satisfaction (74.3%), and a low score of perception of management (10.9%). Overall, climate safety and stress recognition domains showed significant correlations with age, level of education, years in specialty, and history of attending safety training. The study results indicated that the medical personnel had low positive safety attitudes towards the management perceptions domain. However, they reported a high level of job satisfaction domain. It is imperative for the management team to take the necessary steps to ensure the personnel develops a positive safety attitude.

Published: September 2022

This study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge of the benefit of green tea consumption and its association with perceptions of body well-being among nursing students in UniKL-RCMP, Ipoh, Perak. A stratified random sampling technique was applied to get samples. The data was collected by using an online survey (Google Forms) which comprises sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge of the beneficial effects of green tea consumption, consumption of green tea intake and perceptions of general well-being. 53.4% of the respondents were found to have high knowledge of the beneficial effects of green tea intake and 85.8% had drunk it. Female nurses significantly consumed more green tea (87.8%) as compared to males (57.1%). There was a significant association between level of knowledge and perception of body well-being. 86.3% of nurses having a high knowledge of the beneficial effects of green tea consumption had a good perception of their body well-being, however, no significant association was found between green tea intake and perception of body wellbeing. In conclusion, most of the nursing students were knowledgeable about the dietary effects of green tea consumption, however, the positive benefits of green tea intake have not yet been seen in the present study.

Review of Plant Water Status Measurement Techniques
Authors: Asmare Melkamu Terefe
Published: September 2022

The growth of the plant largely depends on the available water and soil. Soil supports the plant in mechanical ways and acts as a nutrient reservoir for its growth. Not only for plants but also for all living things, water plays a significant role in the life process. For a tree grower, knowing the relationship and techniques of measurement of plant, soil, and water help to improve their management system as well as the efficiency of crop production in a given area. Besides, it helps to know the relative water status of planted tree species. Therefore, this paper provides general information about seven plant water status measurements.
On New Two-Step GMM Estimation of the Panel Vector Autoregressive Models with Missing observations
Authors: Abonazel Mohamed R. , Abdallah Mohamed , Rady El-Housainy A.
Published: September 2022

Few estimation methods were discussed to handle the missing data problem in the panel data models. However, in the panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) model, there is no estimator to handle this problem. The traditional treatment in the case of incomplete data is to use the generalized method of moment (GMM) estimation based on only available data without imputation of the missing data. Therefore, this paper introduces a new GMM estimation for the PVAR model in case of incomplete data based on the mean imputation. Moreover, we make a Monte Carlo simulation study to study the efficiency of the proposed estimator. We compare between two GMM estimators based on the mean squared error (MSE) and relative bias (RB) criteria. The first is the GMM estimation based on the list-wise (LW) and the second is the GMM estimation using the mean imputation (MI) at multi-missing levels. The results showed that the MI estimator provides more efficiency than the LW estimator.
Does explaining the origins of misinformation improve the effectiveness of a given correction?
Authors: Connor Desai Saoirse , Reimers Stian
Published: September 2022

Misinformation often has a continuing influence on event-related reasoning even when it is clearly and credibly corrected; this is referred to as thecontinued influence effect. The present work investigated whether a correction’s effectiveness can be improved by explaining the origins of the misinformation. In two experiments, we examined whether a correction that explained misinformation as originating either from intentional deception or an unintentional error was more effective than a correction that only identified the misinformation as false. Experiment 2 found no evidence that corrections explaining the reason the misinformation was presented, were more effective than a correction not accompanied by an explanation, and no evidence of a difference in effectiveness between a correction that explained the misinformation as intentional deception and one that explained it as unintentional error. We replicated this in Experiment 2 and found substantial attenuation of the continued influence effect in a novel scenario with the same underlying structure. Overall, the results suggest that informing people of the cause leading to presentation of misinformation, whether deliberate or accidental, may not be an effective correction strategy over and above stating that the misinformation is false.
Combining PVD structuration with dealloying for the creation of a highly efficient SERS platform
Authors: Chauvin Adrien , Puglisi Walter , Thiry Damien , Satriano Cristina , Snyders Rony , Bittencourt Carla
Published: September 2022

Nanostructured noble metal thin films are highly studied for their interesting plasmonic properties. The latter can be effectively used for the detection of small and highly diluted molecules by the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. Regardless of impressive detection limits achieved, synthesis complexity and the high cost of gold restrict their use in devices. Here, we report on a novel two-step approach to design and fabricate efficient SERS platforms that combines the deposition of a silver-aluminum thin film with dealloying. The magnetron sputtering technique was used for the deposition of the alloy thin film to be dealloyed. After dealloying, the resulting silver nanoporous structures revealed two degrees of porosity: a macroporosity, associated to the initial alloy morphology and a nanoporosity, related to the dealloying step. The resulting nanoporous columnar structure was finely optimized by tuning the deposition (i.e., the alloy chemical composition) and dealloying (i.e., dealloying media) parameters to reach the best SERS properties. These are reported for the samples dealloyed in HCl and with 30 at.% of silver at the initial state with a detection limit down to 10-10 mol.L-1 for a solution of Rhodamine B.
A Stylistic Analysis of Junctures in Relation to Pauses in Doctor Strange and Aladdin Movies
Authors: Mohammed Noor Qassim
Published: September 2022

The study has investigated and examined different types of pauses, both filled (hesitations) and nonfilled (silent pauses) in terms of phonology in both Aladdin and Doctor Strange movies. It has been found that filled pauses (i.e. hesitations) have been used in the movies mainly to provide only lengthening, repeat and self-correction. Yet, there are other features of hesitations which are called interjection hesitations which are (oh, uh, uh-huh, mm, er, and well). All of these pauses have been demonstrated and clarified by junctures that connect sounds that precede and follow them in the subsequent utterances. These junctures, in turn, are of two types: open and close. Open junctures, which sense pauses, provide purposeful stoppage or delay in speech, whereas close ones appear along with the flow of the speech and they do not sense pauses but they appear prominently along with the speech. Strikingly significant, both these open and close junctures appear along with rhythm and intonation because they are presented for a meaning. The two types also appear with filled and non-filled pauses. Phonologically speaking, junctures can be presented as a technical term for pauses, so the term pause is rather an umbrella term under which come juncture; therefore, the title pause subsumes all types of pauses. It has been found that these pauses have been used in both movies to reflect the different psychological states and the different contexts whereby they are produced. Strikingly impressive, these pauses can be perceived as important stylistic markers in the movies and they have peculiar effects on text production and comprehension. Hence, this thesis attempts to accomplish the following aims:
Spacecraft Geometry Effects on Kinetic Impactor Missions
Authors: Owen J. Michael , DeCoster Mallory E. , Graninger Dawn M. , Raducan Sabina D.
Published: September 2022

The DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission will impact a spacecraft on the secondary (Dimorphos) of the binary asteroid system Didymos in 2022 September, with the goal of altering the orbital period of Dimorphos about Didymos sufficiently to be observed from ground-based observations. Numerical impact modeling is a crucial component in understanding the outcome of the DART experiment, and while many have investigated the effects of target properties, such as material strength and porosity (which remain unknown), an often overlooked factor is the importance of accurately representing the spacecraft itself in such models. Most impact modeling to date has considered simple impactor geometries such as a solid uniform sphere, but in reality the spacecraft is a complex shape full of different components, open spaces, and thin walled structures. At a minimum, a simple solid representation underestimates the surface area of the impact: for a small body such as Dimorphos (approximately 160 m in diameter), the difference between a spacecraft spanning 20 m (including solar arrays) impacting and a sub-1 m idealized shape may be important. In this paper, we compare models impacting high-fidelity models of the spacecraft based on the CAD geometry with various simplified impactors, in order to assess the potential importance of this effect. We find that the difference between the simplest impactor geometries (such as a uniform sphere) and the real spacecraft is measurable, and has an interesting dependence on the material properties of the asteroid itself.
The Large Taxon Collider: Building the Atlas of Living Australia's taxonomic backbone
Authors: Palmer Doug , Newman Peggy
Published: September 2022

One of the most important components of the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) is our taxonomic backbone, comprised of an index of species names with a suite of web services for matching names and delivering information for our species pages.

The index is built by merging lists from multiple Australian authoritative taxonomic sources into a single taxonomic tree. Where the primary data sources are incomplete, we attempt to pad out missing genera and species with alternative sources, for example, using Catalog of Life for some fungi branches, and classification of kingdoms: Viruses, Chromista, Protozoa and Bacteria.

When the ALA ingests occurrence records or species checklists, we attempt to match the supplied names against the index using our name matching service. All going well, the service returns the authoritative persistent identifiers for the matched taxon concept and all of the parent taxon concepts. The name matching service will attempt fuzzy and higher rank matches in an attempt to ensure that every record in the ALA finds a home in the taxonomic tree.

The merging and matching algorithms are available as open-source code.

This presentation will give a brief overview of the construction of our names index, the technical and taxonomic challenges the ALA has faced in building and delivering the service, and our development plans for the future.
Open Science for Better FAIRness: A biodiversity virtual research environment point of view
Authors: Royaux Coline , Arnaud Elie , Sananikone Julien , Jossé Marie , Madelin Mélanie , Pelletier Dominique , Norvez Olivier , Le Bras Yvan
Published: September 2022

"FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles" (Wilkinson et al. 2016) and "open science" are two complementary movements in biodiversity science. Although we need to transition to making scientific data and associated material more FAIR, this does not necessarily imply open data or open source algorithms. Here, based on the experience of the French Biodiversity Data Hub ("Pôle national de données de Biodiversité" - PNDB), which is an e-infrastructure for and by researchers, we want to showcase how focusing on openness can be a strategy to efficiently reach greater FAIRness. Following DataOne guidance, we can build a complete data/metadata ecosystem allowing us to structure heterogeneous environmental information systems. Using the Galaxy analysis platform and its related initiatives (Galaxy training network, European Erasmus+ Gallantries project, bioconda, bioContainer), we can thus illustrate how we can create transparent, peer-reviewed and accessible tools and workflows and collaborative training material. The Galaxy platform also facilitates use of high performance computing infrastructure through notably the European Open Science Cloud marketplace. Finally, through our experiences contributing to open source projects like EML (Ecological Metadata Language (Michener et al. 1997)) Assembly Line, EDI (Environmental Data Initiative, or PAMPA (Indicators of Marine Protected Areas performance for managing coastal ecosystems, resources and their uses), a French platform to help protected areas managers to standardize and analyse their data, we also show how building open source "doors" through the R Shiny programming language to these environments can be beneficial for all.
Un roman-photo déviant ?
Authors: Di Gregorio Luca , Colangelo Clarissa
Published: September 2022

Genre longtemps associé à l’expression du drame sentimental, le roman-photo a aussi été essentiellement abordé comme tel par la recherche universitaire. L’article voudrait relativiser cet horizon d’attente dominant en envisageant, dès les années de son plus franc succès, l’existence d’un roman-photo « déviant de l’intérieur », véhiculant pastiches, second degré, détournements et expérimentations visuelles sans pour autant se détacher du canal médiatique traditionnellement dévoué au genre – la presse magazine familiale et/ou féminine des années 1950-1970. Centré sur le parcours du photographe et documentariste Richard Olivier (1945-2021), réalisateur d’une douzaine de romans-photos à ses débuts, on examinera à la fois les conditions d’accès à ce genre par de jeunes créateurs audio-visuels, et, en retour, la contamination dudit genre par la pratique transitoire (et parfois alimentaire) qu’en firent ces créateurs. S’y donneront aussi à voir certains glissements dans l’énonciation éditoriale d’une presse féminine qui, en desserrant peu à peu l’étreinte de son ancien modèle domestique, sut se rendre accueillante à l’égard de romans-photos rénovés, inspirés par la nouvelle culture populaire et porteurs d’une certaine dose d’autoréflexivité.
Le désir d’écologie, impensé de la transition
Authors: Haëntjens Jean
Published: September 2022

Les questions écologiques font régulièrement la une de l’actualité, les rapports se multiplient pour alerter sur le franchissement de limites planétaires, les catastrophes climatiques en tous genres s’accumulent partout dans le monde : tous les éléments sont réunis pour une prise de conscience des enjeux et de l’urgence à agir. Pourtant, même si l’Europe est leader dans les ambitions affichées en matière de baisse des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, l’écologie politique n’est pas parvenue à s’imposer, en France, comme réelle alternative aux autres courants politiques. Les dernières élections l’ont confirmé : le sujet écologique est jugé prioritaire par les citoyens, mais il est délaissé dans les urnes et ne fait toujours pas figure de projet alternatif. Jean Haëntjens s’interroge sur les spécificités de ce « désir d’écologie » : ce qui les explique, ce qui pourrait aider à inverser la tendance pour qu’enfin l’écologie soit prise en main par les politiques au sens large — les partis, les décideurs, les institutions… Il rappelle le décalage entre les préoccupations des citoyens en matière d’environnement, d’aspiration au vivre mieux, et leur incarnation très lacunaire dans les horizons politiques. Étonnamment, l’écologie ne s’incarne pas comme projet politique national, alors qu’elle peut y parvenir à l’échelle locale. Comme le souligne Jean Haëntjens, c’est bien souvent à ce niveau local que le désir d’écologie peut s’enraciner : par une mobilisation progressive, pas à pas, fondée sur les préoccupations les plus concrètes des citoyens (exemple de Copenhague). Le désir d’écologie est bien présent en France, mais pour l’heure, il reste orphelin ; le défi des années à venir est de donner à voir comment il peut investir le quotidien, de manière concrète, innovante et motivante, de sorte qu’il puisse être effectivement partagé par le plus grand nombre.

Soutenabilités : futur des politiques, politiques du futur
Authors: Barasz Johanna , Garner Hélène
Published: September 2022

La planification retrouverait-elle quelques lettres de noblesse en France, comme semble l’indiquer l’annonce, en mai 2022, de la création d’un secrétariat général à la Planification écologique placé auprès de la Première ministre — plus prometteuse, espérons-le, que le Haut-Commissariat au Plan mis en place en septembre 2020. Si pour l’heure, rien de très concret n’est sorti de ces nouvelles instances institutionnelles, le seul fait que le long terme soit officiellement de retour au cœur des institutions françaises constitue une bonne nouvelle. Reste à savoir comment sera envisagé et déployé cet effort de planification. Et sur ce sujet, les travaux lancés par France Stratégie depuis deux ans, ayant abouti à la parution du rapport intitulé Soutenabilités ! Orchestrer et planifier l’action publique, constituent une base solide. Johanna Barasz et Hélène Garner, qui ont coordonné ce rapport, en présentent ici les principaux enseignements, avec en ligne de mire ce fameux long terme et la nécessité, compte tenu notamment du contexte climatique, environnemental et social, d’instaurer un nouveau référentiel pour inscrire le futur dans les décisions et l’action publiques. Prendre en compte l’avenir, faire en sorte de respecter les différentes « soutenabilités » qu’imposent les transitions écologique, démographique, technologique…, tout en s’inscrivant dans des démarches démocratiques, délibératives : tel est le défi à relever. Cet article examine les enjeux que cela soulève et propose différentes recommandations pour que l’action publique puisse y répondre durablement. S.D.

En quoi le flux migratoire de 2015 constitue-t-il une crise ? Quelle place y occupe la Méditerranée et comment les pays du vieux continent réagissent-ils face à des personnes prêtes à prendre le risque de payer de leur vie le coût de leur déplacement ? Quelles sont la genèse et la généalogie de cette crise dans le temps et l’espace ? Comment les réfugiés parviennent-ils à établir leurs itinéraires et leurs trajectoires malgré le péril que ceux-ci peuvent parfois représenter ? L’idée centrale de cet article confirmerait un fait structurel qui touche l’Europe depuis des années 1980 alors que les instances communautaires, continuent de traiter les arrivants en Europe comme autant d’urgences successives avec un pouvoir discrétionnaire, ce qui met la vie des réfugiés en danger. Cette recherche se base sur une quarantaine d’entretiens semi-directifs ainsi que sur les données empiriques récoltées par d’autres chercheurs, associations ou organisations internationales.
Le travailleur social « briseur de rêves »
Authors: Wolff Valérie
Published: September 2022

Les étrangers nouvellement arrivés sur le territoire français connaissent un parcours d’intégration parfois difficile, semé d’embûches dans leur accès au logement, à l’emploi et aux droits sociaux. Pour surmonter les obstacles qu’ils rencontrent, ils sont accompagnés par de nombreux travailleurs sociaux concourant à leur installation en France. Au cours de leurs rencontres avec les publics étrangers, les professionnels du travail social cherchent à mettre en place une relation d’aide et de confiance. Pourtant, loin d’apparaître exclusivement comme un soutien et une aide à l’affiliation, ils peuvent aussi incarner, par moments, toute la complexité et les obstacles du parcours d’intégration. Sur la base d’une recherche menée auprès de 300 professionnels accompagnant les étrangers primo-arrivants, cet article présente un focus sur la notion de « briseur de rêves » régulièrement évoquée par les ceux qui œuvrent à l’intégration des immigrés nouvellement arrivés.
Réduction et croissance du personnel, innovation et optimisme des employés quant aux avantages à long terme du changement organisationnel
Authors: Taylor Jeannette
Published: September 2022

Que pensent les employés lorsque le programme de changement de leur organisation entraîne une augmentation ou une réduction du nombre de travailleurs dans leur unité de travail ou leur groupe de travail ? Si l’on tient pour acquis que les employés ne réagissent généralement pas bien aux initiatives organisationnelles qui réduisent les effectifs, leur réaction aux efforts organisationnels qui augmentent le nombre d’effectifs est moins certaine. C’est sur la base du recensement des travailleurs de la fonction publique australienne, qui contient plus de 24 600 réponses, que la présente recherche montre que l’exposition des employés à un changement organisationnel majeur qui augmente ou réduit le nombre d’employés dans leur groupe de travail est liée à deux résultats pour les travailleurs : (1) la mise en œuvre de changements liés à l’innovation dans leur groupe de travail ; et (2) l’optimisme quant aux avantages à long terme de ces changements sur les performances de leur groupe de travail. Le changement lié à l’innovation modère également la relation entre le changement lié au personnel et l’optimisme quant aux avantages à long terme du changement. Remarques à l’intention des praticiens Les employés qui subissent une réduction du nombre d’employés dans leur groupe de travail peuvent chercher à innover. Lorsque les employés connaissent une croissance des effectifs dans leur groupe de travail, ceux qui mettent en œuvre l’innovation font preuve d’un plus grand optimisme à l’égard du changement organisationnel que les autres. Enfin, la façon dont les dirigeants gèrent le processus de changement au cours d’un changement lié au personnel peut influencer la mise en œuvre de l’innovation par les employés et leur optimisme quant au changement organisationnel.
Augmentation du coût de la participation : les formalités administratives et l’attitude des fonctionnaires à l’égard de la participation publique
Authors: Migchelbrink Koen , Van de Walle Steven
Published: September 2022

Les lourdeurs administratives sont considérées comme une force organisationnelle destructrice qui réduit la motivation des fonctionnaires et freine les performances organisationnelles. En faisant augmenter le temps, le coût et les efforts nécessaires pour informer le public et coordonner la participation, les formalités administratives réduiraient également l’attitude positive des fonctionnaires à l’égard de la participation du public. Toutefois, les recherches sur les effets des formalités administratives sur l’attitude des fonctionnaires à l’égard de la participation publique ne sont pas concluantes. Cette étude examine la manière dont le manque de fonctionnalité et la charge de la conformité aux règles affectent l’attitude des fonctionnaires à l’égard de la participation publique. En utilisant les données d’une enquête transversale auprès de n = 862 fonctionnaires municipaux et une approche de modélisation par équation structurelle, cette étude montre que les perceptions des fonctionnaires du manque de fonctionnalité des règles sont positivement associées aux attitudes envers la participation du public, et que les perceptions de la charge de conformité aux règles sont négativement associées aux attitudes envers la participation du public. Remarques à l’intention des praticiens Les lourdeurs administratives affectent l’attitude des fonctionnaires à l’égard de la participation du public. La charge de la conformité aux règles est négativement associée à l’attitude des fonctionnaires à l’égard de la participation du public. Le manque perçu de fonctionnalité des règles est positivement associé à l’attitude des fonctionnaires envers la participation publique. Les effets des formalités administratives sont multiples et doivent être examinés d’un point de vue multidimensionnel.
Le rôle particulier du gouvernement chinois dans la protection des citoyens vivant à l’étranger

La question de savoir comment optimiser le mécanisme de protection des citoyens chinois à l’étranger est devenue la priorité de l’administration publique chinoise. Une comparaison des politiques d’évacuation de la Chine et des États-Unis dans les années 2010 révèle que le gouvernement chinois attache plus d’importance dans ses opérations aux effets réels de l’évacuation et au ressenti des citoyens, et prend moins en considération la responsabilité des citoyens et la charge financière. Cette politique d’évacuation généreuse peut être en partie rationalisée par des facteurs internes à la Chine, tels que la politique du « Going Global », son image contemporaine de puissance montante populeuse et son récit traditionnel fondé sur le « pays-famille », qui génère une conception familiale des relations entre l’État et les citoyens et encourage le gouvernement à assumer des responsabilités supplémentaires à l’égard des citoyens. Si la conception familiale des relations entre l’État et les citoyens est propice à la construction de l’identité et de la cohésion nationales, elle brouille la ligne de démarcation entre la responsabilité civique et la responsabilité gouvernementale, nuit à l’efficacité de l’administration publique, entraîne un gaspillage des ressources publiques et surcharge les agences gouvernementales. À mesure que l’industrialisation et l’urbanisation de la Chine progressent, la question de savoir comment réviser la conception familiale des relations entre l’État et les citoyens, établie de longue date, et établir une société civile responsable fondée sur l’état de droit contractuel est devenue urgente. Remarques à l’intention des praticiens Cette étude met en évidence le rôle parental du gouvernement chinois dans la protection des citoyens à l’étranger et l’attribue en partie au récit traditionnel pays-famille, qui génère une conception familiale des relations État-citoyen. Si cette conception est propice à la construction de l’identité et de la cohésion nationales, elle entraîne un gaspillage des ressources publiques et surcharge les agences gouvernementales. Il est nécessaire de réviser la conception établie de longue date et de cultiver une société civile responsable pour améliorer l’efficacité de l’administration publique dans la Chine contemporaine.

In the leather production process, defects on the leather surface are a key factor in the quality of the finished leather. Leather defect detection is an important step in the leather production process, especially for wet blue leather. To improve the efficiency and accuracy of detection, we propose a leather segmentation network using the Kronecker product for multi-path decoding and named KMDNet. The network uses Kronecker products to construct a new semantic information extraction layer named KPCL layer. The KPCL layer is added to the decoding network to form new decoding paths, and these different decoding paths are combined that segment the defective part of the leather image. We collaborate with leather companies to collect relevant leather defect images; use Tensorflow for training, validation, and testing experiments; and compare the detection results with non-machine learning algorithms and semantic segmentation algorithms. The experimental results show that KMDNet has a $ 1.99\% $ improvement in $ F1 $ score compared to UNet for leather and a nearly three times improvement in detection speed.

Objectives: Women experience more stress in middle age than in other periods of their lives. Therefore, health management programs that enable middle-aged women to cope with and manage stress are needed. This study investigated the psychological effects of a meditation-focused forest therapy program among 53 middle-aged women living in urban areas in Korea.Methods: Participants were divided into 2 groups: one group underwent the program for 3 days in a forest, followed by 3 days in an urban environment, and the other group underwent the program for 3 days in the urban environment, followed by 3 days in the forest. The psychological effects of the forest therapy program were evaluated using the Profile of Mood States-Brief (POMS-B). Differences in mood state before and after the program conducted in the forest (experimental group) and in the urban environment (control group) were evaluated using the paired-samples t-test.Results: The program in the forest significantly reduced tension, depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion among the domains of the POMS-B. The program in the urban area significantly reduced tension, but not depression, anger, fatigue, or confusion.Conclusions: Meditation-focused forest therapy programs are expected to contribute to promoting psychological health and enhancing the quality of life of middle-aged women.
