Dynamic characteristics of a compliant seat coupled with the human body and a manikin during the exposure to the whole-body vibration: Effect of the polyurethane foam, the track position, and the measurement location
Authors: Xiaolu Zhang  , Sen Lin  , Xichen Song  , Chi Liu  , Yi Qiu
Published: September 2024

Purpose

Transmissibility is used to assess dynamic responses of the occupant-seat system, and most studies have exclusively assessed the transmissibility from the floor to the cushion or the backrest surface with the human body.

Methods

In this investigation, the vertical vibration transmitted from the floor to six specific locations both on the seat surface and the frame when the seat was fixed on three positions on the track was examined utilizing an SAE J826 manikin and 12 male adults (0.25 to 20 Hz) for a duration of 120 seconds at three vibration amplitudes.

Results

The transmissibility from the floor to the headrest frame, the cushion surface, the headrest surface, the seat back frame, and the seat back surface all exhibited a principal peak frequency within 4-5 Hz. With the exception of the cushion frame, the principal peak frequency and the peak transmissibility in transmissibilities to all positions decreased with increasing vibration amplitude, indicating the non-linearity within the occupant-seat system. It was also found modifying seat track positions minimally affected the seat transmissibility to either the surface or the frame of the seat.

Conclusions

Polyurethane foam amplified vibration at peak frequency, simultaneously enhancing static sitting comfort and reducing the vertical vibration transmission above peak frequency.
The right to a fair trial in the light of the minimum guarantee of legal assistance in the practice of the European Court of Human Rights
Authors: POBEREZHNYI Yurii
Published: September 2024

The research attempts to form the essence of the modern understanding of the right to a fair trial through the prism of the minimum guarantee of legal assistance. Attention is drawn to the fact that the European Convention itself does not define the mechanism of its application, which in turn complicates its application by different states with certain differences in legal systems. In this regard, it is substantiated that by ruling on the application of the European Convention, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) sets the direction for building one of the most effective systems of human rights protection, which is subsequently manifested in the national systems of the Convention member states. In view of this, the article analyses the most important, key and modern practice of the ECHR in relation to consideration of applications for violation of the minimum guarantee of legal assistance in the context of violation of the right to a fair trial and summarises it, as well as identifies the risks of such an approach. In addition, the paper analyses the current conceptual vision of such transformations from the point of view of legal scholars, both academics and practitioners. In the course of analysis of modern ECHR judgments, the author found that in a significant number of them the Court indicates that the mere violation of the minimum guarantee of legal assistance does not automatically mean a violation of the right to a fair trial, and the author emphasizes the possible risks of such an interpretation, in particular, for the States which are leaders in violation of the guarantee of legal assistance, where the specifics of national systems reflect a systematic violation of this right. It is determined that the application of the minimum guarantee of legal assistance is not limited to criminal proceedings, and the court is not the only institution that must comply with this guarantee to ensure fairness of the proceedings. It is also emphasised that the practice of applying this guarantee cannot be limited to court proceedings only. The author also suggests improving the legal technique of implementing the European Convention into national legislation by amending its translation into Ukrainian.
Control measures during the enforcement process
Authors: SELIVANOV Oleh
Published: September 2024

This paper addresses the pressing issues surrounding the current mechanisms of enforcing court decisions in Ukraine, focusing on the inefficiencies that result in a low percentage of effectively executed judgments by both the State Enforcement Service (SES) and private enforcers. The study identifies the primary problems within the enforcement system, including insufficient legislative regulation, lack of effective oversight, and limited protection of debtor's rights. The paper provides an in-depth analysis of the existing mechanisms for control and appeal in the enforcement process, highlighting judicial control under Article 74 of the Law of Ukraine "On Enforcement Proceedings". The judicial control aspect is explored through the examination of court practices in both courts that issued enforcement documents and administrative courts. The paper identifies the number of appeals related to the enforcement process and discusses the effectiveness of judicial oversight. Additionally, the paper examines the extrajudicial control mechanisms, particularly the oversight exercised by the Ministry of Justice over both state and private enforcers. The study reveals significant challenges, such as the deprivation of the debtor's right to seek extrajudicial control, and discusses the reasons behind such legislative changes, along with their positive and negative consequences. The paper also presents the findings from recent research and publications that have begun to address these issues, and highlights the aspects of the general problem that have not been previously addressed, to which this paper is dedicated. To address these challenges, the paper proposes several improvements and legislative amendments. These include enhancing judicial control by establishing clearer criteria for reviewing appeals against enforcer actions, extending court powers to mandate specific actions by enforcers, and providing compensation for damages caused by unlawful enforcement actions. In terms of extrajudicial control, the paper suggests restoring the debtor's right to appeal to the Ministry of Justice, implementing a pre-screening mechanism to filter out baseless complaints, and strengthening the Ministry's monitoring capabilities.
The use of artificial intelligence in the management of investment portfolios
Authors: MATEI Vasyl , KHYZHNIAK Bohdan
Published: September 2024

The ever-increasing complexity of financial markets, characterized by high market volatility, economic uncertainty, and the massive influx of various data pose a significant challenge in investment portfolio management. Traditional methods can fall short in addressing these challenges, requiring too much from an individual managing investment portfolios. The ability of AI to process a tremendous number of large datasets and to detect patterns offers a significant advantage for a manager, providing for more informed and timely investment decisions. The purpose of this annex is to encapsulate findings of the primary paper on the use of AI in investment portfolio management, highlighting the benefits and challenges, and also identifying areas for improvement and further research.
The paper explores the possibility of using AI to enhance the effectiveness of an investment portfolio manager, through the improvement of analysis’ quality, help in data collection and processing, recognition of complex patterns, and faster decision-making. This could help optimize investment strategies through risk reduction, improved forecasting, and faster adaptation to market fluctuations. In addition, the paper aims to identify potential risks associated with AI integration, for example quality of data, algorithm transparency, and cybersecurity issues.
Literature analysis demonstrated that application of AI can increase the efficiency of investment portfolio management. This is possible because of AI systems' ability to conduct advanced data search and analysis, providing for better decision-making. The use of AI algorithms allows investment portfolio managers to identify market trends more easily, optimize asset allocations, as well as minimize market volatility risks. А good example is BlackRock's Aladdin expert system, which provides comprehensive data insights, providing a competitive advantage. However, the paper also demonstrates, that implementation of AI systems is associated with several challenges, particularly - quality of provided data and opacity of AI algorithms, which can raise doubts regarding their effectiveness. Moreover, cybersecurity remains a significant concern.
Overall, the use of AI presents opportunities for investment portfolio managers to improve results by providing competitive advantages. However, certain challenges need to be overcome. AI holds great promise for investment portfolio management, and future studies need to focus on AI integration, cybersecurity, and improvement of data quality.

A Rare Case of Aconite Poisoning in a Tertiary Care Center in Nepal: Clinical Presentation and Management
Authors: Guragain Sushant , Kumar Sah Ajit , Pandey Ajit , Koirala Prashant , Gyawali Bishowraj , Shah Sneha
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Aconite poisoning, caused by the toxin aconitine in the Aconitum genus (monkshood or wolfsbane), can be severe and requires supportive care as there is no specific antidote. Aconitine inhibits sodium channel inactivation, leading to dangerous cardiovascular and neurological symptoms.  Case Presentation: A 46-year-old male ingested half of a suspected aconite seed, leading to abdominal cramping, persistent vomiting, tingling sensations, and weakness. Upon admission, he exhibited hypotension, tachycardia, and bilateral mydriasis. ECG showed ventricular premature contractions. Treatment included intravenous amiodarone, magnesium sulfate, calcium gluconate, and gastric lavage with activated charcoal. He was admitted to the ICU for intensive monitoring and treatment, including ongoing amiodarone administration. After improvement, he was transferred to the general ward and later discharged.  Discussion: Aconite poisoning involves symptoms from aconitine's effect on sodium channels, including arrhythmias, hypotension, and neurological issues. Management focuses on supportive care, antiemetics, and monitoring. Advanced treatments like flecainide or amiodarone may restore normal heart rhythm, and severe cases might require a cardiac bypass or VA- ECMO.  Conclusion: This case describes a rare aconite poisoning with severe neurological, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal symptoms after ingestion of a suspected aconite seed. The patient was treated with decontamination, intravenous amiodarone, and ICU care, leading to recovery. Despite its traditional use, aconite poisoning often results from its application without proper regulation, highlighting the need for rapid diagnosis and management.
Determinants of Islamic Banks' Profitability in an Emerging Economy
Authors: Hossain Mohammad Azhar
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study investigates the factors influencing the profitability of Sharia-based Islamic banks operating in Bangladesh.
Methods: Using panel data from 2017 to 2023, the current analysis shows how factors particular to individual banks have impacted the profitability of Bangladeshi banks. To complete this analysis, only Islamic banks are taken into consideration. In this paper, the factors that affect Bangladesh's Islamic banking industry's profitability are clarified. 10 Islamic banks operating in Bangladesh are included in the sample. The study investigates internal factors such as size, liquidity risk, operational effectiveness, credit risk, financial risk, and capital adequacy. The analysis is conducted using panel data regression with fixed effect.
Results:  The result shows that operating efficiency, financial risk, and liquidity risk are the most relevant bank-specific characteristics in determining the Islamic banks’ profitability in Bangladesh.
Implications: The study suggests that bankers should keep a close observation of credit and liquidity risk indicators, diversify their revenue streams, and minimize expenses. Moreover from the regulatory perspective, the performance of the banks should be evaluated based on their operational efficiency and ability to generate profit. The policy direction will be directed towards enhancing resilience by reducing the risk internally and increasing the efficiency of the Islamic banks to intensify the robustness and stability of this sector.
Originality: While numerous previous studies have provided various explanations of the factors influencing bank profitability, this research specifically examines the internal factors affecting the profitability of Islamic Banks in Bangladesh, an emerging market.
The Impact of Teacher Training in Social Justice Education on Classroom Practices and Student Outcomes in Nigeria
Authors: Adeyeye Gbenga Michael
Published: September 2024

This study investigated the impact of teacher training in social justice education (SJE) on classroom practices and student results in Nigerian schools, including cultural, economic, and sociological aspects. The research emphasized the crucial importance of teacher training in incorporating social justice ideas into education, as it acknowledges the significant impact of SJE in fostering critical thinking, empathy, and social equity. The study utilized a combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses to evaluate the level of SJE integration in teacher training programs. It also examined how this integration affects instructional tactics and therefore influences student academic performance and social awareness. The results emphasized the strong positive relationship between extensive SJE training and enhanced classroom inclusivity, increased student involvement in social matters, and overall academic success. Although educators trained in SJE face obstacles related to institutions and resources, they are able to create a learning environment that is more inclusive and encourages critical engagement. This research adds to the discussion on educational equity by promoting the implementation of SJE training in teacher education programs. The goal is to provide educators with the skills they need to address social inequalities and create a fair and inclusive learning environment.

A son of
Souffles
? Abdellah Taïa and the poetics of illiteracy in
Vivre à ta lumière
Authors: Brueton Joanne
Published: September 2024

In 1966, ten years after Morocco gained independence from French colonial rule, a group of decolonial writers founded the journal
Souffles
(1966–1972). Its mission was to deconstruct the suffocating binaries, concepts, and essentialisms that trapped Morocco in an enduring French cultural imperialism or hermetic cultural atavism. In this article, I draw a critical genealogy between leading Moroccan anti-imperial thinkers including Abdellatif Laâbi, Abdelkébir Khatibi, Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine, and Abdellah Taïa’s latest novel
Vivre à ta lumière
(2022). Just as the
Souffles
generation exposed the politics of illiteracy that had cemented the conditions of oppression during the Protectorate and its violent aftermath under the reign of Hassan II, so I argue that Taïa inhabits his mother’s illiterate tongue in the novel as a decolonial language that refuses to make itself legible to monologic forms of European, or Moroccan neocolonial, intellectualism. Attentive to the metatextual tropes of language, words, letters, scripts, and even envelopes as spaces in which Taïa reworks hegemonic colonial and absolutist narratives, I explore the poetic potential of illiteracy not as a cultural lack, relegated to silence in Morocco’s post-independence struggle for national sovereignty, but as a potent instrument of postcolonial literary critique.
The Narratives and Legacies of the Preston Lock-Out
Authors: Southern Jack
Published: September 2024

This article examines some of the complex legacies of the Preston lock-out of 1853–1854. It primarily explores the aftermath of the lock-out, as well as the academic and popular memory of the dispute, framed largely around the narrative of millowner Henry Ashworth. It considers the influence of notions of ‘political economy’, and how the dispute was utilised as a malleable tale to caution against the apparent follies of trade unionism. It utilises the idea of dominant narratives to also explore the subsequent reputations of George Cowell and Mortimer Grimshaw, the most famous strike leaders. In doing so, it highlights the reputational aftermath of the strike and how it shaped their post-dispute careers. It also considers some of the less tangible results of the lock-out, such as the lessons learned and longer term and geographically disparate results.

Unveiling Subarcsecond Multiplicity in the Pleiades with Gaia Multicolor Photometry
Authors: Chulkov Dmitry
Published: September 2024

The list of 409 probable cluster members down to G = 15mag (m ≳ 0.5M
⊙) is compiled for the two degree radius of the Pleiades, based on astrometric data from Gaia DR3 and the PPMXL catalog, along with several radial velocity surveys, including APOGEE and LAMOST. This approach allows for the inclusion of binary stars with unreliable Gaia solutions, thereby eliminating associated bias. Thus, the often-neglected 14 sources with Gaia two-parameter solutions are included. The subsequent analysis of color–magnitude and color–color diagrams exploits artifacts in Gaia photometric data, caused by the different field sizes used to measure fluxes in the G, B

p
, and R

p
passbands, to reveal binary stars with subarcsecond angular separation. The findings are validated with prior high-resolution observations. Overall, 24 ± 3 cluster members with angular separation between 0.″1 and 1″ (13.5–135 au projected distance) and mass ratio q > 0.5 are deemed binary, indicating a binarity fraction of 6 ± 1%.
Resolving Twin Jets and Twin Disks with JWST and ALMA: The Young WL 20 Multiple System
Authors: Barsony Mary , Ressler Michael E. , Le Gouellec Valentin J. M. , Tychoniec Łukasz , van Gelder Martijn L.
Published: September 2024

We report the discovery of jets emanating from pre-main-sequence objects exclusively at mid-infrared wavelengths, enabled by the superb sensitivity of JWST’s Mid-Infrared Instrument Medium-Resolution Spectrometer. These jets are observed only in lines of [Ni ii], [Fe ii], [Ar ii], and [Ne ii]. The H2 emission, imaged in eight distinct transitions, has a completely different morphology, exhibiting a wide-angled, biconical shape, symmetrically distributed about the jet axes. Synergistic high-resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations resolve a pair of side-by-side edge-on accretion disks lying at the origin of the twin mid-infrared jets. Assuming coevality of the components of the young multiple system under investigation, the system age is at least (2–2.5) × 106 yr, despite the discrepantly younger age inferred from the spectral energy distribution of the combined edge-on disk sources. The later system evolutionary stage is corroborated by ALMA observations of CO(2−1), 13CO(2−1), and C18O(2−1), which show no traces of molecular outflows or remnant cavity walls. Consequently, the observed H2 structures must have their origins in wide-angled disk winds, in the absence of any ambient, swept-up gas. In the context of recent studies of protostars, we propose an outflow evolutionary scenario in which the molecular gas component dominates in the youngest sources, whereas the fast, ionized jets dominate in the oldest sources, as is the case for the twin jets discovered in the WL 20 system.
Playing with FIRE: A Galactic Feedback-halting Experiment Challenges Star Formation Rate Theories
Authors: Khullar Shivan , Matzner Christopher D. , Murray Norman , Grudić Michael Y. , Guszejnov Dávid , Wetzel Andrew , Hopkins Philip F.
Published: September 2024

Stellar feedback influences the star formation rate (SFR) and the interstellar medium of galaxies in ways that are difficult to quantify numerically, because feedback is an essential ingredient of realistic simulations. To overcome this, we conduct a feedback-halting experiment starting with a Milky Way–mass galaxy in the second-generation Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE-2) simulation framework. By terminating feedback, and comparing to a simulation in which feedback is maintained, we monitor how the runs diverge. We find that without feedback, the interstellar turbulent velocities decay. There is a marked increase of dense material, while the SFR increases by over an order of magnitude. Importantly, this SFR boost is a factor of ∼15–20 larger than is accounted for by the increased freefall rate caused by higher densities. This implies that feedback moderates the star formation efficiency per freefall time more directly than simply through the density distribution. To probe changes at the scale of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), we identify GMCs using density and virial parameter thresholds, tracking clouds as the galaxy evolves. Halting feedback stimulates rapid changes, including a proliferation of new bound clouds, a decrease of turbulent support in loosely bound clouds, an overall increase in cloud densities, and a surge of internal star formation. Computing the cloud-integrated SFR using several theories of turbulence regulation, we show that these theories underpredict the surge in SFR by at least a factor of 3. We conclude that galactic star formation is essentially feedback regulated on scales that include GMCs, and that stellar feedback affects GMCs in multiple ways.

« Illec estoit jour de marché » : l’organisation matérielle des marchés hebdomadaires normands à la fin du Moyen Âge
Authors: Theiller Isabelle
Published: September 2024

Prérogative royale, la concession d’un droit de marché permet à un seigneur de réunir un marché une ou plusieurs fois par semaine dans la localité pour laquelle il en a fait la demande. Il lui revient alors de choisir une place destinée à son rassemblement, et le cas échéant, de la doter d’infrastructures permanentes ou temporaires sur lesquelles il peut percevoir des droits et contrôler les échanges. Les textes médiévaux, bien que peu prolixes sur l’organisation concrète et matérielle des marchés hebdomadaires, témoignent d’un espace sous contrôle dans lequel chacun trouve la place qui lui revient. Un espace de sociabilité publique, d’expression publique et politique, d’exercice de la justice mais aussi un espace dans lequel les transactions sont conclues au vu et au su de tous, leur offrant ainsi des garanties de légalités.
La reconstruction des fermes du Calvados après la Seconde Guerre mondiale
Authors: Gourbin Patrice
Published: September 2024

Notre article porte sur la reconstruction du bâti agricole après la Seconde Guerre mondiale dans le Calvados, où les destructions rurales ont été particulièrement étendues. L’objectif est d’en comprendre les mécanismes de reconstitution et de modernisation ainsi que la doctrine architecturale et industrielle qui en était le moteur. Un tiers des exploitations a été détruit ou endommagé. Le relèvement de l’agriculture nécessita la reconstitution du cheptel, le déminage, la remise en état des terrains, la reconstitution du matériel et le relogement provisoire, programme qui fut exécuté de 1944 à 1947. La reconstruction définitive était encadrée par l’État qui la finançait. Dans le Calvados, la maison du Paysan fut un relais de l’action de l’État, par l’intermédiaire de la coopérative de reconstruction de l’habitat rural (CRHR). Engagée dans la défense de l’exploitation familiale, la CRHR adhérait au projet de modernisation voulu par l’État. Ce n’était pas forcément le cas des sinistrés, si bien que les architectes et la coopérative furent contraints d’accepter toutes sortes de compromis fonctionnels, constructifs et esthétiques.

Comment comprendre chez un sujet la survenue de troubles du poids après un cancer ? Tel est l’objet de cet article. En appui sur le suivi psychothérapique de patientes (atteintes chacune de cancer de forme et pronostic divers), il s’agit de montrer la persistance ou plutôt la rémanence chez elles de l’expérience traumatique qu’ont constitué le cancer et/ou ses traitements à travers une nouvelle expression somatique, ici l’obésité. Celle-ci constitue une modalité (paradoxale) de réinvestissement du corps propre et plus encore de restauration d’une intégrité narcissique attaquée par l’épreuve traumatique de la maladie et/ou des traitements. À cet égard, la prise de poids ou l’obésité constitue une métamorphose de l’être-corps permettant au sujet de s’éprouver de nouveau vivant en son psychosoma.
Vers une métamorphose de la psychiatrie
Authors: Georgieff Nicolas
Published: September 2024

Ce texte propose d’aborder la problématique des métamorphoses en psychiatrie sous différents points de vue. Le premier est la métamorphose en tant que mythe, à l’œuvre dans le mythe du changement, de la guérison ou de la renaissance à travers et dans le traitement psychiatrique et psychothérapeutique. Le second est, cette fois objectivement, la réalité de la métamorphose en psychiatrie, abordée par l’étude des processus de changement d’une part (évaluation et compréhension des processus thérapeutiques) et par le modèle de développement d’autre part, dans ses dimensions biologiques, psychologiques, sociales et intersubjectives. Enfin, nous concluons en discutant des métamorphoses de la psychiatrie elle-même, sous l’influence des progrès de la pédopsychiatrie notamment, mais aussi de la demande sociale et des nouvelles formes d’antipsychiatrie.
Mythologie métropolitaine
Authors: Faburel Guillaume
Published: September 2024

La métropole vivable ? De nombreux politiques, chercheurs, militants – aveugles devant le gigantisme des villes, la densité urbaine, la dilapidation des ressources, la bétonisation et l’artificialisation des sols, etc. – y croient encore, se désole Guillaume Faburel. Pour ce dernier, la réalité du monde urbain est loin d’être ce monde idéal, sans impacts dramatiques, du vivre ensemble et de ses valeurs de diversité, de sociabilité ou encore d’hospitalité. La réalité urbaine est plutôt celle d’une indésirabilité croissante des grandes densités, loin des revendications d’« un droit à la ville » pas toujours bien inspirées. Décroître et désurbaniser constitueraient la seule voie digne. À condition d’une petite démystification.
Les métropoles capitalistes,un monde narcissique
Authors: Claret Hugo
Published: September 2024

Sous l’emprise de la marchandisation, de la vitesse et la pression de flux d’information, la vie quotidienne en métropole est devenue frénétique, anomique, sans fard. Le passé est oublié, le futur est sans avenir et le présentisme domine. L’espace métropolitain n’est plus qu’un non-lieu où l’individu se perd dans un monde narcissique où règnent l’urgence et l’immédiateté, le plaisir illimité et la toute-puissance. Pour Hugo Claret, les métropoles dépossèdent l’individu de toute expérience sensible et les noient dans un monde fantasmé, un théâtre d’ombres, dont il est le seul acteur et protagoniste. Narcisse est désormais son identité profonde que le capitalisme métropolitain ne manque pas de dompter et d’exploiter pour son plus grand profit. Au risque cependant de l’épuisement, de la « fatigue de soi », d’un effondrement total. Peut-on voir dans ces limites les ferments d’un sujet révolutionnaire ? Oui, répond Hugo Claret. Car Narcisse à son revers, la révolte de l’« Homme total » d’Henri Lefebvre, figure irréductible qui ne renonce à rien, surtout pas à l’espace social et le temps libre dont il a pu être privé.

Perspectives économiques des États-Unis
Authors: Bouët Antoine
Published: September 2024

Alors que l’Union européenne entreprend de mettre en place une stratégie de sécurité économique pour faire face aux évolutions d’un contexte international turbulent, les États-Unis n’ont pas attendu pour protéger leur économie. Depuis 2022 et l’adoption de l’ Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), l’administration américaine soutient son économie intérieure, au travers de mesures ciblant tant les consommateurs que les entreprises ; mesures qui, selon certains commentateurs, témoignent d’un repli protectionniste. Qu’en est-il ? En quoi consistent ces mesures et quels pourraient être leurs impacts sur la première puissance économique mondiale ? À deux mois de l’élection présidentielle américaine, sur laquelle continue de planer le spectre d’un retour au pouvoir de Donald Trump, Antoine Bouët présente ici la mécanique complexe de la politique de soutien à l’économie des États-Unis mise en œuvre par Joe Biden. Il en analyse les impacts en termes d’investissement, de lutte contre le changement climatique, sur le plan macroéconomique et environnemental…, faisant la part entre leur rôle effectif et les effets d’aubaine. Il examine enfin, plus largement, les perspectives économiques du pays à l’échelle mondiale, en particulier dans l’hypothèse d’un renforcement du protectionnisme suite au retour au pouvoir de Donald Trump : deux scénarios modélisés par le CEPII permettent d’en apprécier les conséquences. Comme le montre Antoine Bouët dans cet exercice, les mesures telles que l’IRA n’ont qu’un impact macroéconomique très relatif comparativement aux risques qui découleraient d’un regain protectionniste « trumpiste ».

Les casseroles sont ce à partir de quoi une histoire se produit. Une histoire singulière du travail d’une casserole à une grande histoire des cultures culinaires. Lorsque le psychologue cuisine avec son patient, c’est pour composer un moment singulier, avec des ustensiles parfois cabossés, rayés, troués, accrochés. Un travail clinique de psychologue doit permettre, malgré tout, que le travail dans ces ustensiles permette le partage d’une saveur, d’un moment, de quelques mets pris en commun qui redonne à chacun un peu de tonus et d’allant pour la vie.

Il révèle un noyau commun de structures de transfert, de hiérarchies d’usage et de configurations forme-sens. La présence de ces unités forme-sens enrichit la notion d’ invariant et souligne leur importance dans l’ Approche Sémiologique des LS. Cela encourage à poursuivre l’exploration afin d’affiner notre compréhension de la création et de l’évolution des LS, et donc de leur richesse typologique.
Pratiques sportives de nature, enjeux environnementaux et dynamiques sociales
Authors: Suchet André
Published: September 2024

À partir d’une revue de la littérature critique ce texte amène à souligner l’importance du croisement thématique entre pratiques sportives de nature et enjeux environnementaux dans une perspective géographique et sociale. Équitation, randonnée, escalade, surf, plongée sous-marine, snowboard ou wakeboard… en tant que pratiques de loisir, pratiques touristiques ou performances sponsorisées professionnalisées, ces activités appellent des enjeux renouvelés entre territoires, développement et protection. Ce texte introduit ensuite le présent numéro thématique de la revue qui rassemble six articles à la fois représentatifs de différentes tendances, mais aussi d’un renouvellement critique, capable de faire preuve de nuance, de donner accès à des narratifs contradictoires, souligner des paradoxes et démontrer autant de tensions à la fois économiques, social et culturelle dans un rapport à l’environnement.
Droit d’accès à la nature versus droit de propriété. Espaces protégés, engrillagement et conflit d’usage en Chartreuse
Authors: Gauchon Christophe
Published: September 2024

À proximité immédiate des agglomérations de Grenoble et de Chambéry, le massif de la Chartreuse est fréquenté pour de nombreuses pratiques de pleine nature, au premier rang desquels la randonnée pédestre, mais aussi l’escalade, la spéléologie, le bivouac… La bordure orientale du massif a été classée en 1997 en réserve naturelle, en raison des grands enjeux de préservation de la faune, ce qui n’exclut pas une pratique de la chasse commerciale. En 2006-2007, une controverse avait suivi la découverte de spectaculaires arches naturelles. En 2023, une nouvelle loi sur les espaces engrillagés réveille le conflit lorsque le propriétaire du vallon de Marcieu décide d’interdire l’accès à quelque 750 hectares de montagne. Cette étude de cas permet de questionner les temporalités du conflit d’usage et de dégager les différentes étapes de la controverse juridique et sociale dans un contexte de revendication croissante d’accès à la nature.
Matérialisme contre postmodernisme
Authors: Mevel Guilhem
Published: September 2024

Avec Jean-François Lyotard, le discours postmoderne fait du marxisme un essentialisme téléologique, projetant dans le futur la réconciliation harmonieuse de l’homme avec la nature. Or, d’après une lecture parallèle des Manuscrits de 1844 et des Grundrisse , il est possible de recomposer un tableau plus complexe des rapports dynamiques entre êtres humains et nature sous deux formes : subjective et objective. Cette distinction peut constituer le pilier d’une réactualisation de la pensée communiste, en plaçant en son cœur les questions d’aliénation et de prédation.
A-t-on bien lu Engels ?
Authors: Gulli Florian
Published: September 2024

Le texte qui suit veut essayer de restituer à la position d’Engels toute sa complexité sur ces deux points précis.
