ANALYSIS OF THE RUSSIAN POLITICAL IMAGE FORMATION PROCESS IN CHINA IN 2000-2005 BASED ON THE STUDY OF THE PRC NEW MEDIA PLATFORMS
Authors:   Moscow State University-FPI, Nadezhkina E. S.
Published: March 2022

The author analyzes political articles about Russian Chinese strategic cooperation on the new media platforms of the Chinese segment of the Internet for the period of 2000-2005. This period is characterized by the two countries’ rapprochement, supported by resolving their territorial issues and achieving international standing. The basis for further cooperation was established, determining the main directions of cooperation for the future. The analysis shows that during the period under study, the focus of development and the course for other areas of cooperation was set precisely by the political component. The main initiative comes from the governments of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, and it is formed mainly based on relations between the heads of state.
«MONSTRE», «BEAR CUB», «BEAR»: TO THE RECONSTRUCTION OF A TEXT METAPHOR
Authors:   Polzunov Altai State Technical University, Stenina V. F. , Kapustina E. A.
Published: March 2022

The article reveals the semantics and functioning of the text-metaphor “bear” in the epistolary genre of Russian writers of the 19th century. The idiom “to sell (share) the skin before one has shot the bear” is found in the epistolary works of A. S. Pushkin, I. A. Goncharov,F. M. Dostoevsky, representing the metaphors “writer - hunter”, “manuscript - bear”. In the epistolary works of I. S. Turgenev, these metaphors are transformed under the influence of emblematics, which the writer was fond of, and refer to the Renaissance legend about a she-bear licking a newborn cub. In A. P. Chekhov’s works the metaphor unexpectedly finds a continuation, revealing the connection between A. P. Chekhov with a gypsy-leader, Pushkin’s Aleko, to the limit with a buffoon entertaining the audience, and the connection of his play is a joke with a bear. In the pre-Chekhov epistolary, this metaphor is associated with the process of text generation, while A. P. Chekhov describes the connection between the writer-playwright and the product of his generation in the post-creative period through this metaphor.
THE MORAL IN N. V. LEONTIEV’S FABLES: PERSON AND SOCIETY
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Trakhtenberg L. A.
Published: March 2022

На фоне традиции жанра басни Н. В. Леонтьева (1766) выделяются своеобразием проблематики, прежде всего социальной. Леонтьев ставит как общие вопросы социального устройства, так и частные - о взаимоотношениях начальников и подчиненных, о поведении, подобающем людям высокого и низкого звания. Убежденный в необходимости монархии, главным достоинством царя Леонтьев считает справедливость. По мнению баснописца, ключевая проблема организации общества - соответствие способностей людей занимаемым ими должностям. Кроме того, басни Леонтьева отличает внимание к теме просвещения и обобщающий подход к пониманию человеческого характера.
A. B. DERMAN AGAINST V. V. ERMILOV: FROM THE HISTORY OF SOVIET CHEKHOVIAN STUDIES OF THE 1940S
Authors:   Vladimir Dahl Russian State Literary Museum, Zaitsev V. S.
Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to the discussions of two books by V. V. Ermilov (“Chekhov” and “Dramaturgy of Anton Chekhov”). The discussions were held at the publishing house “Molodaya Gvardiya” and at the meeting of the commission on the theory of literature and criticism of the USSR Writers’ Union in 1946 and 1948. A. B. Derman spoke at both meetings with consistent criticism of V. V. Ermilov’s works. Shorthand records of A. B. Derman, V. B. Shklovsky, L. M. Myshkovskaya and others allow us to consider the specific features of Chekhov scholars disputes of the 1940s and to assess their influence on the subsequent development of Soviet Chekhovian studies.
“FROM THESE NOBLE GENTLEMEN...”: TEXT - OMEN
Authors:   Kharkov V.N.Karazin National University, Zaslavskii O. B.
Published: March 2022

We suggest arguments that Pushkin’s work published under a conditional title “From these noble gentlemen…” is, as a matter of fact, completely finished. This text contains (in a suggestive form) hints at a forthcoming violent death of a jailer (but not of a person who was condemned to the execution). As a result, the text as a whole becomes an omen of an event that is not explicated but can be anticipated to occur soon. The break of the text is related to the theme of the break of life. In doing so, two kinds of death are juxtaposed. Death is present as an action of a system presented by a jailer and as an excess (probably, because of the attempt to liberate a convict). As a whole, Pushkin poses a question about relation between a repressive system and an individual responsibility of a person.

Authors:   Cruz Research Group, Cruz Ramírez Luis Carlos
Published: March 2022

En este libro se presenta un análisis dedicado a las integraciones arquitectónicas como un hecho concurrente en la arquitectura desde la antigüedad. Primero se expone un análisis conceptual de las integraciones, sus implicaciones y un acercamiento a su clasificación. El segundo capítulo, versa sobre cómo se realizaron las integraciones desde la antigüedad hasta el siglo XVIII, abordando la relación con las principales ideas que dieron origen a las posturas de restauración. En el tercer capítulo, se muestra cómo surgieron las controversias en torno a las integraciones, con el surgimiento de los movimientos de restauración arquitectónica. Finalmente, el cuarto capítulo, contiene una serie de ejemplos de edificios integrados en numerosas ocasiones durante su existencia, hecho que se puede ver como actitudes producto de la necesidad de habitar, la antítesis de la idea de no intervenir para conservar o una serie de desaciertos en el tiempo en las que se destruyeron edificios.

A benchmark brown dwarf (BD) is a BD whose properties (e.g., mass and chemical composition) are precisely and independently measured. Benchmark BDs are valuable in testing theoretical evolutionary tracks, spectral synthesis, and atmospheric retrievals for substellar objects. Here, we report results of atmospheric retrieval on a synthetic spectrum and a benchmark BD, HR 7672 B, with petitRADTRANS. First, we test the retrieval framework on a synthetic PHOENIX BT-Settl spectrum with a solar composition. We show that the retrieved C and O abundances are consistent with solar values, but the retrieved C/O is overestimated by 0.13–0.18, which is about four times higher than the formal error bar. Second, we perform retrieval on HR 7672 B using high spectral-resolution data (R = 35,000) from the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer and near-infrared photometry. We retrieve [C/H], [O/H], and C/O to be −0.24 ± 0.05, −0.19 ± 0.04, and 0.52 ± 0.02. These values are consistent with those of HR 7672 A within 1.5σ. As such, HR 7672 B is among only a few benchmark BDs (along with Gl 570 D and HD 3651 B) that have been demonstrated to have consistent elemental abundances with their primary stars. Our work provides a practical procedure of testing and performing atmospheric retrieval, and sheds light on potential systematics of future retrievals using high- and low-resolution data.

We quantify evolution in the cluster-scale stellar mass–halo mass (SMHM) relation’s parameters using 2323 clusters and brightest central galaxies (BCGs) over the redshift range 0.03 ≤ z ≤ 0.60. The precision on the inferred SMHM parameters is improved by including the magnitude gap (m
gap) between the BCG and fourth-brightest cluster member (M14) as a third parameter in the SMHM relation. At fixed halo mass, accounting for m
gap, through a stretch parameter, reduces the SMHM relation’s intrinsic scatter. To explore this redshift range, we use clusters, BCGs, and cluster members identified using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey C4 and redMaPPer cluster catalogs and the Dark Energy Survey redMaPPer catalog. Through this joint analysis, we detect no systematic differences in BCG stellar mass, m
gap, and cluster mass (inferred from richness) between the data sets. We utilize the Pareto function to quantify each parameter’s evolution. We confirm prior findings of negative evolution in the SMHM relation’s slope (3.5σ), and detect negative evolution in the stretch parameter (4.0σ) and positive evolution in the offset parameter (5.8σ). This observed evolution, combined with the absence of BCG growth, when stellar mass is measured within 50 kpc, suggests that this evolution results from changes in the cluster’s m
gap. For this to occur, late-term growth must be in the intracluster light surrounding the BCG. We also compare the observed results to IllustrisTNG 300-1 cosmological hydrodynamic simulations and find modest qualitative agreement. However, the simulations lack the evolutionary features detected in the real data.
On the Accuracy of Underground Muon Intensity Calculations
Authors: Fedynitch A. , Woodley W. , Piro M.-C.
Published: March 2022

Cosmic-ray muons detected by deep underground and underwater detectors have served as an information source on the high-energy cosmic-ray spectrum and hadronic interactions in air showers for almost a century. The theoretical interest in underground muons has nearly faded away because space-borne experiments probe the cosmic-ray spectrum more directly, and accelerators provide precise measurements of hadron yields. However, underground muons probe unique hadron interaction energies and phase space, which are still inaccessible to present accelerator experiments. The cosmic-ray nucleon energies reach the hundred-TeV and PeV ranges, which are barely accessible with space-borne experiments. Our new calculation combines two modern computational tools: mceq for surface muon fluxes and proposal for underground transport. We demonstrate excellent agreement with measurements of cosmic-ray muon intensities underground within estimated errors. Beyond that, the precision of historical data turns out to be significantly smaller than our error estimates. This result shows that the sources of high-energy atmospheric lepton flux uncertainties at the surface or underground can be significantly constrained without taking more data or building new detectors. The reduction of uncertainties can be expected to impact data analyses at large-volume neutrino telescopes and be used for the design of future ton-scale direct dark matter detectors.

We present a high-resolution (2.5 au) multiband analysis of the protoplanetary disk around TW Hya using Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) long baseline data at Bands 3, 4, 6, and 7. We aim to reconstruct a high-sensitivity millimeter continuum image and revisit the spectral index distribution. The imaging is performed by combining new ALMA data at Bands 4 and 6 with available archive data. Two methods are employed to reconstruct the images: multifrequency synthesis (MFS) and the fiducial image-oriented method, where each band is imaged separately and the frequency dependence is fitted pixel by pixel. We find that MFS imaging with a second-order Taylor expansion can reproduce the frequency dependence of the continuum emission between Bands 3 and 7 in a manner consistent with previous studies, and that it is a reasonable method for reconstructing the spectral index map. The image-oriented method provides a spectral index map consistent with the MFS imaging, but with a two times lower resolution. Mock observations of an intensity model were conducted to validate the images from the two methods. We find that the MFS imaging provides a high-resolution spectral index distribution with an uncertainty of <10%. Using the submillimeter spectrum reproduced from our MFS images, we directly calculate the optical depth, power-law index of the dust opacity coefficient (β), and dust temperature. The derived parameters are consistent with previous works, and the enhancement of β within the intensity gaps is also confirmed, supporting a deficit of millimeter-sized grains within the gaps.

Published: March 2022

The Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) Two-meter Sky Survey (LoTSS) is an ongoing survey aiming to observe the entire northern sky, providing an excellent opportunity to study the distribution and evolution of the large-scale structure of the universe. The source catalog from the public LoTSS first data release (DR1) covers 1% of the sky, and shows correlated noise or fluctuations of the flux density calibration on scales of a few degrees. We explore the LoTSS DR1 to understand the survey systematics and data quality of this first data release. We produce catalog mocks to estimate uncertainties, and measure the angular clustering statistics of LoTSS galaxies, which fit the Lambda cold dark matter cosmology reasonably well. We employ a Markov Chain Monte Carlo–based Bayesian analysis to recover the best galaxy biasing scheme and multicomponent source fraction for LoTSS DR1 above 1 mJy assuming different possible redshift templates. After masking some noisy and uneven patches and with suitable flux density cuts, the LOFAR survey appears qualified for large-scale cosmological studies. The upcoming data releases from LOFAR are expected to be deeper and wider, and will therefore provide improved cosmological measurements.

The Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) is China’s first X-ray astronomy satellite. It was launched on 2017 June 15. The anticoincidence CsI detectors of the High Energy X-ray telescope (HE) on board Insight-HXMT could serve as an all-sky gamma-ray monitor in about 0.2–3 MeV. In its first four years of operation, Insight-HXMT has detected 322 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by the offline search pipeline, including blind search and targeted search. For the GOLDEN sample of Insight-HXMT GRBs, joint analyses were performed with other GRB missions, including the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi/GBM), the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift/BAT), and the Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM). The analyses showed that Insight-HXMT can provide a better constraint on the GRB spectrum at a higher-energy band. The properties of Insight-HXMT GRBs are reported in detail, including their trigger time, duration, spectral parameters, peak fluxes of different timescales, and fluence. This catalog is an official product of the Insight-HXMT GRB team.

Published: March 2022

Government policies in waste management aim to improve public health, environmental quality, and waste as a resource. Data shows that 73.6% of residences have not classified waste into organic, inorganic, and hazardous waste types. This qualitative research uses sociological jurisprudence and legal sociology approaches. Data is obtained through literature review and case studies. Results show that garbage banks are used as a form of waste management, where recyclable and/or reusable waste with economic value are sorted and collected. The waste bank implementation is synergized with manufacturers in the form of corporate social responsibility. These CSR funds are not yet maximized for waste management groups established by the West Nusa Tenggara Province, which has reached 99 units in 2017 and 54 in 2018. Funds are dominated by local governments in fostering, socializing programs, and providing facilities, infrastructure as well as capital assistance. In addition to local governments, manufacturers participate in ensuring everyone's right to a good and healthy environment through garbage banks. Another form of responsibility is efforts to change the society’s paradigm and behaviour on sustainable waste management from its source. This has not run optimally, nor has it been synergized with volunteer-based academics.

Modification of the Principal Component Analysis Method Based on Feature Rotation by Class Centroids
Authors: Topolski Mariusz , Beza Marcin
Published: March 2022

Feature engineering is a branch of science that provides tools to support, for example, the preparation of feature spaces for a pattern recognition task. The present work focuses on the problem of feature extraction. The proposed model is based on the mechanisms of PCA principal component analysis. It fills a gap in the implementation of feature extraction by looking for spaces that best discriminate between classes. This was realized by rotating the features according to the centroids of the classes. In addition, a measure of their consistency was determined which allows precise estimation of the number of features for a particular component. Four experiments were conducted in this study. The first two were done on synthetic datasets, while the next two were conducted on ten real datasets. The synthetic data allowed to determine the characteristics depending on the percentage of informative features, the number of input features, the level of imbalance and the number of output components in the extraction task. The obtained results showed that the developed solution allows for a more precise extraction, thus increasing the quality of classification. Moreover, it was shown that the method based on class centroids allows to construct efficient ensembles of classifiers.
Effectiveness of wire netting fences to prevent animal access to road infrastructures: an experimental study on small mammals and amphibians

Published: March 2022

Transport infrastructures, such as highways, disrupt animal migrations and cause roadkill. To mitigate the latter problem, fences have been built but their effectiveness has rarely been tested under controlled conditions. Here, we tested the effectiveness of the most commonly used fence in France and probably in Europe (wire netting fence) to block animals. We tested the wire netting fence, with and without a structural modification (i.e. an overhang), with three small mammalian species (the European hamster: Cricetus cricetus Linnaeus, 1758; the common vole: Microtus arvalis Pallas, 1778 & the wood mouse: Apodemus sylvaticus Linnaeus, 1758) and two amphibian species (the marsh frog: Pelophylax ridibundus Pallas, 1771 & the European green toad: Bufotes viridis Laurenti, 1768). During testing, all small vertebrate species tested were placed into an arena, from which they could only escape by crossing the wire netting fence. Without an overhang, almost all adult individuals of all tested species were able to climb over a 30 to 40 cm high wire netting fence. Furthermore, the addition of an 8 cm long overhang at the top of the fence stopped the amphibian species tested but not the most agile mammalian species, such as the hamster and the wood mouse. Based on these results, we do not support the construction of wire netting fences along roads as a measure to stop small animals from crossing. We recommend the use of more effective and durable fences, which, in addition, can be associated with wildlife passages to reconnect isolated populations.
Do the roadkills of different mammal species respond the same way to habitat and matrix?
Authors: Cirino Douglas William , Lupinetti-Cunha Artur , Freitas Carlos Henrique , de Freitas Simone Rodrigues
Published: March 2022

While road network expansion connects human settlements between themselves, it also leads to deforestation and land use changes, reducing the connectivity between natural habitat patches, and increasing roadkill risk. More than 30% of registered mammal roadkills in Brazil are concentrated in four species: Cerdocyon thous (crab-eating fox); Euphractus sexcinctus (six-banded armadillo); Tamandua tetradactyla (collared anteater) and Myrmecophaga tridactyla (giant anteater), the latter being categorized as vulnerable by IUCN redlist. Our aim was to understand how these animals’ roadkills could be related to the land use proportions on landscapes all over the Brazilian territory, and investigate if the roadkill patterns differ among species. We collected secondary data on mammal roadkills (N = 2698) from several studies in different regions of Brazil. Using MapBiomas’ data on land use and land cover, we extracted landscape composition around each roadkill sample. Through the proportion of land use and land cover in the area of influence where the roadkill occurred, we built binomial GLM models and selected the best ones by Akaike Information Criteria. For crab-eating fox and the six-banded armadillo, the best models include matrix coverage resulting in increased roadkill risk, while both anteaters’ species have a habitat and a matrix component in their best models, with an interaction between the variables. These four species seem to be roadkilled in different landscape arrangements, but in all scenarios, anthropic areas had an important influence over the models. For habitat-dependent and more sensible species, such as Tamandua tetradactyla and Myrmecophaga tridactyla, the amount of matrix influencing the roadkill risk depends on habitat availability in the landscape. It changes the strength and direction of the effect according to the proportion of natural areas in the region, while with generalist species such as Cerdocyon thous and Euphractus sexcinctus, the quantity of human-modified coverage increases the risk.

Published: March 2022

Predatory fish have occasionally been observed preying on birds, sometimes repeatedly, but few studies were able to unravel the overall significance of avian prey in fish diet and the predation impacts on bird populations. We used a control/impact study setup, using a Nature Reserve in northern Italy and a nearby control area, to determine: 1) the contribution of waterbirds to wels catfish diet in the Reserve, 2) the population density of wels catfish in the Reserve and control area and 3) the potential impacts of waterbird depredation by wels catfish on waterbird population trends. Our stable isotope Bayesian mixing model indicated that birds contributed 12.2% (5–27.9%, 50% confidence interval) of the diet of large wels catfish (> 98 cm in total length). Large individuals constituted the majority of the population in the shoreline areas of the reserve in 2013–2019, where the population was stable despite control efforts. Numbers were below detectable levels in the control area. Large wels catfish consumed an average of 224, 148 and 187 kg of birds during the 2019 chick growing period, as estimated through three different bioenergetic models. Compared to the control area, mallard reproductive success was diminished in the Reserve, likely due to higher rates of fish predation, although effects were variable in different years. Overall, our data suggest that high densities of invasive wels catfish might impact waterbird reproductive success through predation on bird chicks, but further studies would be needed to reduce uncertainties related to the intrinsic variability of field ecology data. Our study constitutes a preliminary attempt to assess the potential of introduced wels catfish to affect the conservation value of waterbird protection areas, and should be repeated at broader spatial and temporal scales.

A new species of the genus Gammarus Fabricius, 1775 is described and illustrated from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. Gammarus zhouqiongisp. nov. is characterized by pereopods III–IV with long straight setae on posterior margins; inner ramus of uropod III more than twice as long as peduncle, reaching 0.7 times the length of outer ramus; inner ramus with plumose setae, and outer ramus with both plumose setae and long simple setae. Detailed morphological comparisons with related species are discussed. The K2P distances for each marker (CO1, 16S, 28S, and EF1α) of the new species differ from those of other Gammarus species in Xinjiang. Both phylogenetic trees based on separate (CO1, 16S, 28S, and EF1α) and combined (CO1+16S+28S+EF1α) markers show that the new species is an independent branch. A key to identify Gammarus species in Xinjiang is provided.
Ce que disent les mémoires de recherche des professeurs des écoles stagiaires sur leur appropriation des questions environnementales et de développement durable
Authors: Barroca-Paccard Marco
Published: March 2022

Au-delà de la reconnaissance de son importance sociétale et scolaire, l’éducation environnementale et au développement durable pose des défis importants aux enseignants. Cependant, il existe peu de travaux qui se sont intéressés à cette question chez les enseignants fonctionnaires stagiaires professeurs des écoles. Ce travail utilise un corpus de plus de 398000 mots, constitué avec des mémoires de master d’étudiants issus de 11 Académies françaises qui se sont intéressés à l’enseignement de l’environnement et du développement durable. L’analyse lexicométrique a permis de montrer l’existence de 6 classes de sens qui représentent les idées et les thèmes dominants du corpus. L’ensemble montre la place centrale du mot élève ainsi que la centration sur les écogestes et sur les directives institutionnelles au détriment des dimensions critiques qui semblent très peu présentes. Le travail permet d’envisager des pistes pour mettre en œuvre une formation des professeurs des écoles conformément à la directive de généralisation de l’éducation au développement durable – EDD (MENJ, 2019).
Les Questions socialement vives et l’enseignement des sciences humaines et sociales au Québec : des visées délibératives confrontées au paradoxe curriculaire
Authors: Éthier Marc-André , Lefrançois David , Larocque Stéphanie
Published: March 2022

Cet article vise à analyser la formation disciplinaire en sciences sociales en s’inspirant de recherches empiriques menées à propos des enjeux controversés en classe – ou « questions publiques controversées » ou encore « questions socialement vives » (QSV). L’article synthétise des travaux sur les visées délibératives de l’enseignement des sciences sociales au moyen de QSV et les effets escomptés de cet enseignement sur les élèves. Il décrit, analyse et critique ensuite l’un des programmes québécois de l’ordre secondaire liés au domaine de l’« univers social », soit le cours d’éducation financière, en tant que cas de figure des prescriptions et contenus curriculaires pouvant faire obstacle au traitement délibératif des QSV en classe.
Programmes de stage et accès à l’emploi : une application à la Convention nationale État-employeurs du secteur privé au Sénégal
Authors: Kane Abou , Ndoye Mamadou Laye , Dogbe Amen Komlan

Nous procédons à l’évaluation de l’impact des programmes de stage sur l’accès à l’emploi au Sénégal. Nous utilisons des données primaires collectées en 2018 sur 1838 demandeurs (bénéficiaires et non bénéficiaires) de la Convention nationale État-employeurs du secteur privé (CNEE), qui est un accord signé entre le gouvernement et les employeurs pour partager les coûts de l’embauche de jeunes en stage. L’évaluation d’impact est faite par l’approche de l’effet marginal de traitement (MTE) afin de corriger le biais de sélection induit par les caractéristiques observables et inobservables. Les résultats révèlent que les programmes de stage augmentent les chances d’accéder à un emploi régulier et stable, quel que soit le sexe. L’impact est beaucoup plus favorable pour les femmes, car la proportion de femmes bénéficiaires du programme et ayant accédé à un emploi régulier est de 41,1 points de pourcentage supérieure à celle des femmes non bénéficiaires. Ce chiffre est de 19,2 points de pourcentage si l’on compare les hommes bénéficiaires aux hommes non bénéficiaires. Les résultats révèlent également que, dans les groupes de contrôle des hommes et des femmes, figurent toujours des profils adaptés ayant besoin d’être accompagnés pour une meilleure intégration professionnelle.

Les organisations découvrent que leur performance ne peut pas être exclusivement financière et court-termiste. Le temps de la conciliation des impératifs économiques, sociaux, sociétaux et environnementaux est arrivé et le capitalisme s’humanise. Des chefs d’entreprise reconnaissant la pertinence des travaux de recherche de l’ISEOR, ont décidé avec ses responsables de créer la Fondation Henri Savall-ISEOR pour récompenser les pratiques vertueuses du management à performance globale et apporter leur contribution en invitant ceux qui le souhaitent à aller plus loin, grâce aux résultats de recherche Socio-Economique et aux méthodes éprouvées sur le terrain depuis un demi-siècle.

L’objectif de ce chapitre est de démontrer la profondeur de notre langage lors des interactions les uns et les autres dans la vie professionnelle, et ainsi être en mesure de déterminer les dysfonctionnements générés par l’incompréhension ou la dissimulation de certaines données et informations au quotidien. La recherche-intervention socio-économique s’est déroulée dans une entreprise familiale en Argentine de 130 employés, qui se consacre à la distribution de produits de grande consommation. Grâce à des réunions pilotes, une proximité avec les managers des différents services a été mise en place et il a été possible d’identifier certaines significations du langage interne. Cela a ensuite servi à travailler dans la voie de la stratégie et sa mise en œuvre.

Cette recherche montre comment le modèle socio-économique développé par l’ISEOR a contribué à surmonter les barrières internes au sein d’un groupe d’entreprises espagnoles qui rendaient difficile de tirer profit des marchés nationaux et internationaux. Les résultats révèlent comment les déficiences organisationnelles sont accentuées lors de la pénétration des marchés internationaux, en raison des difficultés supplémentaires liées à la distance physique, psychologique et culturelle. Et cela se produit même dans des entreprises qui disposent d’avantages concurrentiels importants, tels que des brevets internationaux. Ces résultats enrichissent la littérature sur la croissance des entreprises et ont des implications managériales pratiques importantes.

L’histoire de la mise en place de la tarification à l’activité dans le système hospitalier français révèle les difficultés rencontrées par l’État pour faire évoluer l’organisation hospitalière, dotée d’une grande inertie compte tenu de la complexité de cette organisation. C’est ainsi que récemment, l’Etat a décidé de tester une autre politique d’intervention, en laissant les acteurs de terrain proposer et expérimenter des changements d’organisation et de financement. On voit ainsi se profiler une nouvelle forme d’articulation entre régulation et organisation. Une façon également d’ouvrir le champ de l’organisation, vu non plus au sens étroit de l’intérieur de l’hôpital, mais intégrant les autres acteurs de santé.

À la suite d’un audit réalisé dans trois services d’un centre hospitalier, ce chapitre recense, dans une première partie, les dysfonctionnements et coûts cachés portant atteinte aux malades, aux professionnels de la santé eux-mêmes, mais également aux finances et à la renommée de l’établissement. Il présente ensuite le projet socio-économique et décline les actions d’amélioration qui furent créées, au cours de la première année, pour améliorer les conditions de travail et les services. Il décrit enfin les outils socio-économiques utilisés. Les grilles de compétences ou le plan d’actions prioritaires constituent, par exemple, des outils à forte valeur ajoutée dans un milieu qui exige qualité, efficacité, sécurité et sérénité.

Une crise est un prétexte utile pour activer la réelle, pour ne pas dire unique, source de différenciation de l’entreprise, à savoir le Potentiel Humain. Il y a 10 ans, le CETAF a été confronté à une crise institutionnelle, sociale et économique. Il a fait le choix de l’Humain. Ce chapitre retrace son parcours et la manière dont la transformation a permis aux collaborateurs d’écrire l’histoire de l’entreprise plutôt que de la subir.

La théorie socio-économique constitue une praxéologie de l‘accompagnement entrepreneurial et plus particulièrement de l’entrepreneuriat des étudiants. À la fois cadre et substrat d’un accompagnement à visée transformative, la théorie socio-économique permet d’articuler la transformation cognitive de l’étudiant.e entrepreneur.e avec la réalisation d’objectifs économiques. Ce chapitre précise les spécificités de la cognition entrepreneuriale et des pratiques d’accompagnement des projets de création d’entreprise chez les étudiant.e.s, afin d’expliciter en quoi la théorie socio-économique offre le cadre épistémologique, méthodologique et opérationnel permettant un renouveau de ces pratiques.

Les organisations publiques, en particulier les communes, ont des besoins de planification stratégique et de conduite du changement s’exprimant dans un contexte d’évolution de leur environnement stratégique et d’un besoin de maitrise des finances publiques. Les managers publics ont besoin de méthodes leur permettant de fixer un cap, d’identifier des gisements d’efficience et de conduire des transformations en obtenant l’adhésion des équipes. S’appuyant sur le cas de 12 communes belges, ce chapitre montre comment les outils socioéconomiques (PASINTEX, PAP, grille de compétences, gestion du temps) répondent aux besoins des managers.

Le conflit normatif est un enchevêtrement de normes qui place les personnes en situation de contradiction avec ce qu’elles ont à vivre avec la société qui les entoure. La non-prise-en-compte de la conflictualité possible des normes s’explique par le processus d’a-territorialisation des normes internationales. La référence à des « parties intéressées » marque le passage d’un statut de normes techniques a-territoriales (les ISO étaient des normes « industrielles ») à celui de normes politiques. Ce passage ouvre la question d’une gouvernance multi-niveaux au niveau du territoire par consensus avec les niveaux plus éloignés.

Le haut niveau d’échec des projets de transformation numérique est susceptible d’être réduit par l’approche socio-économique du management, qui n’est pas seulement un système holistique de management de la performance, mais également une méthode de transformation organisationnelle. Néanmoins, les dimensions numériques de SEAM mériteraient un développement, en particulier les méthodes de développement, l’infrastructure technologique et l’architecture d’entreprise, en cohérence avec l’approche « Human-Digital Competitiveness » (HDC). Mené en cohérence avec HDC, le management socio-économique a le potentiel d’être une approche de management de la performance orientée client et humaine, qui accroîtrait le succès des transformations numériques en entreprise.
Super-ados une jeunesse contemporaine
Authors: Naivin Bertrand
Published: March 2022

Créée aux États-Unis il y a un siècle, la figure du super-héros continue de passionner les adolescents d’aujourd’hui. En partie parce que ces super-personnages n’ont cessé d’évoluer au fil des années et ont su leur proposer des héros à leur image : des super-ados. Mais cela n’explique pas tout. Il y a également, dans l’indéfectible fascination des jeunes pour ces super-héros, une attirance pour des êtres qui incarnent et subliment la pression que la société fait désormais peser sur une jeunesse confrontée aux risques du réchauffement climatique déjà en cours. Le super-ado pourrait alors bien être le reflet d’une jeunesse hyper-responsabilisée et désenchantée.
