Authors: Raden Ajeng Diah Puspa Sari  , Dr. R. Rahaditya, S.H., M.H
Published: January 2025

Child trafficking is a type of crime that significantly impacts victims' lives, causing physical, mental, and social trauma. Rehabilitation programs are essential to help child trafficking victims recover and continue their lives. These programs are designed to meet various victim needs, including psychological recovery, physical health, education, and social reintegration. However, many question the effectiveness of these rehabilitation programs, particularly regarding victims' specific needs, available support levels, and how well they help victims readapt to society. The focus of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs offered to child trafficking victims in Indonesia. These programs are expected to address the deep trauma experienced by victims, improve physical health impaired by exploitation, and provide necessary support and skills for social and economic reintegration. However, field evidence shows that many problems arise during program implementation. These include resource limitations, victims' lack of access to mental health services, and insufficient cooperation between relevant agencies managing rehabilitation.

Published: January 2025

Poncokusumo Village, located in Poncokusumo Subdistrict, Malang Regency, has significant potential in orange and apple cultivation. The 484-hectare area is estimated to produce 1.8 tons of commodities per 1000 square meters. The DEDAYA program aims to develop a self-sustaining economy in Poncokusumo Village, thereby achieving village independent income and enhancing the village’s strengths through the utilization of orange peel waste into products such as tekaje flour, o-jie-tea, orange chili sauce, and eco-enzyme. This solution involves a holistic approach through (1) socialization and business assistance in developing and managing orange peel waste, and (2) the establishment of the DEDAYA (Desa Berdaya) institution responsible for the structured management of the program. The outcomes include processed orange peel products and scientific publications in Sinta 3 journals. The program’s success is measured by training existing entrepreneurs and enhancing the role of local institutions in supporting village independent income through the DEDAYA program
Legal Liability of Ex-Directors for the Management of the Company During the term of Office Period Has Ended
Authors: Pande Putu Indahyani Lestari  , I Gede Agus Kurniawan
Published: January 2025

This research aims to analyze the legal responsibility of former Directors for the management of the Company which was carried out when the term of office of the Directors and Board of Commissioners had ended before the re-appointment GMS was held. In this case, the Board of Directors is the organ of the Company which is fully responsible for the management of the Company and represents the Company both inside and outside the Court. Directors whose term of office ends do not automatically continue their position as before, except by re-appointment based on a GMS decision. So that the management carried out after the term of office ends may conflict with the law and the Company's articles of association. The approaches used are the statutory approach and the case approach. The results of legal actions carried out by former Directors while continuing to manage and represent the Company are illegal actions and can be held personally responsible. However, if it can be proven that the management actions are carried out in good faith for the sake of the law and provide good benefits for the Company and all of the Company's stakeholders, then based on the authority possessed by UUPT and the Company's articles of association, the GMS can decide to make all legal actions in the form of management. What is done by the former Director becomes a legal act and the Company's responsibility, so that the former Director is free from personal responsibility.
Legal Analysis of Consumer Protection: Certainty Regarding Objections to Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency Arbitration Award
Authors: David Prawira  , R.M. Gatot P. Soemartono
Published: January 2025

Consumer protection laws serve as a vital safeguard for citizens engaged in transactions involving products and services. The Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency plays an essential role in addressing consumer issues through arbitration, conciliation, or mediation. Among these methods, arbitration is particularly effective due to its final and binding nature. However, a significant limitation arises while Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency's arbitration decisions are deemed final and binding within the agency, they are subject to appeal in district courts, leading to complications in enforcement and legal uncertainty. This research aims to explore the implementation of consumer protection laws and the legal certainty surrounding the resolution of consumer disputes through Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency. Employing a normative research methodology, this study examines the challenges posed by appeals against Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency's arbitration decisions, particularly when the legal framework supporting these decisions becomes outdated or inadequate. To enhance legal certainty in consumer dispute resolution, a revision of the consumer protection law is necessary. Such revisions could streamline the arbitration process and reinforce the binding nature of Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency's decisions, ultimately strengthening consumer rights and ensuring more effective dispute resolution

Sea transportation plays a very important role in international trade as one of the main components in the process of distributing goods. Nonetheless, the losses incurred in sea transportation activities are often greater than the losses caused by the transportation process itself, such as damage, shortages, and loss of goods that can occur during the process of unloading goods at the port by freight forwarding companies by sea. This study aims to analyze the limits of obligations and legal relationships between freight forwarding companies, carriers, and sea freight forwarding companies in the context of sea transportation activities. Using a normative legal research methodology, this study utilizes legal resources that include relevant laws and regulations as well as applicable court decisions, with a legislative approach and a case approach. The results of this study show that, first, the limitation on the responsibility of the expedition company regulated in Article 87 of the Commercial Code (KUHD), as well as the limitation of the carrier's liability regulated in Article 40 and Article 41 of Law Number 17 of 2008 concerning Shipping, unlawful acts under Article 1365 of the Civil Code, and the responsibility of the sea transportation expedition company in terms of providing convenience, licensing, supervision, and the implementation of order in sea transportation activities, as stipulated in Cassation Decision Number 2665 K/Pdt/2022 which corroborates the decision of the Medan District Court in case Number 728/Pdt.G/2016/PN.Mdn, is in accordance with and includes legal objectives which include legal certainty, justice, and benefits for all parties involved.

Authors: Muhamad Aryanang Isal
Published: January 2025

Environmental destruction in the Gili Air area has reached an alarming phase, with many business actors throwing their kitchen waste into the sea, climate change and illegal fishing activities. The level of damage to coral reefs caused by human actions can be categorized as serious damage, because the public's perception of environmental awareness is still low. There is exploitation of coral reefs to fulfill the economy in the short term. One of the problems with environmental damage is the use of sunblock.  Although, sunblock Very beneficial for the skin, but in reality it actually brings disaster to marine life. Some countries have even banned its use sunblock made from these chemicals, considering that their impact is quite large in environmental damage. This research is about the smart regulation approach as a new perspective in observing environmental damage which is doctrinaire by using conceptual studies regarding the nature of the environment and the practice of using sunblock. The research results explain First, Hawaii created a law (UU) that prohibits distribution sunblock containing one of these chemicals. Coming into force on January 1 2019, this is the first law in the world to prohibit its use sunblock which contain chemicals that damage the environment in marine tourism areas.
Recursos biológicos e biodiversidade
Authors: Mota Catherine Rebouças , Paulsen Sandra
Published: January 2025

O capital natural é o conjunto de recursos renováveis e não renováveis, como plantas, animais, água e minerais, que proporcionam benefícios essenciais para a sociedade. A biodiversidade, composta por espécies, ecossistemas e diversidade genética, é crucial para a manutenção dos sistemas de suporte à vida e dos serviços ecossistêmicos, que têm grande importância econômica, ambiental e social. A perda da biodiversidade representa uma preocupação global, pois pode reduzir a resiliência dos ecossistemas, tornando-os mais vulneráveis a ameaças como as mudanças climáticas. A OCDE destaca que a conservação efetiva da biodiversidade exige proteção das espécies e ecossistemas, ações como a remoção de subsídios prejudiciais e o uso de instrumentos econômicos, além de políticas sustentáveis. A preservação da biodiversidade está ligada aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), especialmente os ODS 14 e 15, que visam proteger os ecossistemas terrestres e marinhos e reverter a perda de biodiversidade. A Convenção sobre Diversidade Biológica de 1992 e outros acordos internacionais têm sido fundamentais para guiar a proteção da biodiversidade global.
Medidas de apoio aos combustíveis fósseis
Authors: Mota Catherine Rebouças
Published: January 2025

As emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEEs), especialmente o dióxido de carbono (CO2) proveniente da queima de combustíveis fósseis e do desmatamento, exacerbam o aquecimento global e as mudanças climáticas, afetando ecossistemas e dificultando o crescimento sustentável. As estratégias para mitigar essas emissões incluem o desenvolvimento de políticas de baixo carbono, o uso de energias renováveis, e a adoção de instrumentos de mercado, como a precificação de carbono. No entanto, subsídios aos combustíveis fósseis ainda são um obstáculo, impactando negativamente a transição para uma economia verde. A OCDE, que monitora essas questões, destaca a desconexão entre as metas climáticas e as políticas econômicas pós-pandemia, apontando a necessidade de reduzir os subsídios aos combustíveis fósseis. Além disso, compromissos internacionais como a Convenção-Quadro da ONU sobre Mudança Climática, o Protocolo de Quioto e o Acordo de Paris, junto aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), visam mitigar os impactos das mudanças climáticas globalmente.
Visão geral do projeto
Authors: Baumann Renato
Published: January 2025

Criada em 1961 como sucessora do Plano Marshall, a OCDE é uma organização com 38 países-membros, incluindo economias em transição e algumas latino-americanas. Com o objetivo de promover crescimento econômico e elevação dos padrões de vida, a OCDE evoluiu de um think tank de países ricos para uma instituição global, influente no estabelecimento de padrões internacionais e discussão de políticas públicas em diversas áreas, como tributação, corrupção e economia digital. O Brasil, apesar de não ser membro, coopera desde a década de 1990, participando de diversos comitês e adotando práticas da organização. A candidatura formal do Brasil à OCDE em 2017 gerou debates, com defensores destacando benefícios como acesso a melhores práticas e um “selo de qualidade”, e críticos alertando sobre possíveis conflitos com interesses nacionais e alianças globais, como o BRICS. O projeto analisa os indicadores da OCDE e sua relevância para a realidade brasileira.
Governança dos reguladores econômicos
Authors: Peci Alketa
Published: January 2025

A governança dos reguladores econômicos, abordada de forma central pela OCDE, envolve agências autônomas que promovem a competição em mercados regulados, determinam tarifas e defendem os consumidores. As agências reguladoras independentes se destacam na América Latina desde as reformas econômicas dos anos 1980, que visaram privatização e liberalização dos mercados, criando um marco institucional conhecido como Estado regulador ou capitalismo regulatório. A década de 1990, em particular, evidenciou o crescimento dessas agências, com um aumento expressivo de sua presença na região. A autonomia dessas agências é um aspecto central discutido, englobando tanto a autonomia administrativa (gestão de recursos e estrutura organizacional) quanto a independência política, que assegura a capacidade de tomar decisões sem interferência política. Além disso, a OCDE destaca a importância do escopo de ação dos reguladores, que pode variar desde funções restritas, como revisão tarifária, até responsabilidades mais amplas, incluindo políticas de subsídios e redistribuição. A discussão sobre accountability também é crucial, considerando a necessidade de os reguladores prestarem contas aos poderes Executivo, Legislativo e Judiciário, além de outras formas de controle social.
Interrogating the Contestations in Zimbabwe’s New Marriage Law and Arbitration in Family Disputes
Authors: Humbe Bernard Pindukai , Sibanda Fortune
Published: January 2025

This study focuses on the new Marriages Act and arbitration in family disputes among the Shona people of Zimbabwe, who happen to be the largest ethnic group constituting about 75% of the Zimbabwean population. The problem identified by this study was that the new Act has been received with mixed emotions especially by religious communities with the majority complaining that it promotes promiscuity and marriage breakups. Using Alternative Dispute Resolution as a conceptual framework and in-depth interviews, observation and documentary analysis of print and electronic media to gather data, the study established that the new Act promotes paradoxes over marriage dispute resolution because the customary law and decisions have been submerged. The research concludes that the new Marriages Act is an ambivalent legal framework that requires continual interrogation among different stakeholders for sustainable marriage unions in Zimbabwe. The study recommends the harmonisation between the law and societal culture on marriage to ensure an effective and contextual family arbitration mechanism. The research bridges the knowledge gaps in scholarship on the impact of Zimbabwe’s legal reforms on gender relations catapulted by the tensions between statutory law and customary law encountered in the process of harmonising traditional and modern views on marriage and family structures in post-colonial contexts, which were historically influenced by patriarchy.

Published: January 2025

The recent launch of Einstein Probe (EP) in early 2024 opened up a new window onto the transient X-ray sky, allowing for real-time discovery and follow-up of fast X-ray transients (FXRTs). Multiwavelength observations of FXRTs and their counterparts are key to characterize the properties of their outflows and, ultimately, identify their progenitors. Here, we report our long-term radio monitoring of EP 240315A, a long-lasting (∼1000 s) high-redshift (z = 4.9) FXRT associated to gamma-ray burst (GRB) 240315C. Our campaign, carried out with the Australian Telescope Compact Array, followed the transient’s evolution at two different frequencies (5.5 and 9 GHz) for 3 months. In the radio light curves we identify an unusual steep rise at 9 GHz, possibly due to a refreshed reverse shock, and a late-time rapid decay of the radio flux, which we interpret as a jet break due to the outflow collimation. We find that the multiwavelength counterpart of EP 240315A is well described by a model of relativistic jet seen close to its axis, with jet half-opening angle θ

j
≈ 3° and beaming-corrected total energy E ≃ 4 × 1051 erg, typical of GRBs. These results show that a substantial fraction of FXRTs may be associated to standard GRBs and that sensitive X-ray monitors, such as EP and the proposed HiZ-GUNDAM and Theseus missions, can successfully pinpoint their relativistic outflows up to high redshifts.

As part of ongoing revisions of the Afrotropical Trachelidae, four new genera are described from southern Africa: Foordanagen. nov., with F. distinctasp. nov. from South Africa (Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape) as the type species, F. flavipodasp. nov. from the Free State, F. kasougasp. nov. from the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, and a fourth undescribed species from Zimbabwe; the monotypic Mushimanegen. nov., with M. tswibilinkisp. nov. from KwaZulu-Natal as the type species; Namaquellagen. nov., with N. aridasp. nov. from the Northern Cape as the type species and N. samanthaesp. nov. from the Western Cape; and Rukulukgen. nov. from South Africa, with R. gramineussp. nov. from the Northern Cape as the type species and a second undescribed species from KwaZulu-Natal known only from juveniles.
“Le prof que j’aurais aimé avoir” : des vidéos pour apprendre ?
Authors: Pasquier Dominique
Published: January 2025

Apprendre en ligne est-il perçu comme plus facile qu’apprendre à l’école ? C’est la question posée ici, sous l’angle de la consommation sur Internet de vidéos indépendantes de vulgarisation culturelle et scientifique et à propos d’une population d’internautes, celle des individus ayant eu des scolarités courtes. Le terrain repose sur 19 entretiens semi-directifs avec des internautes âgés de 17 à 43 ans, ayant au plus le bac. Les apprentissages par les vidéos proposent un contournement de l’obstacle de l’écrit, en dédramatisant les mots complexes, ils offrent un accès au savoir par le faire. Leurs conditions de consommation à l’abri des regards du collectif, avec la possibilité d’actionner les touches replay et pause, permettent aux enquêtés de progresser à leur rythme en choisissant leurs centres d’intérêt privilégiés. Cette école à la carte mène à l’acquisition de savoirs fragmentés et peu stables qui questionne la dimension d’apprentissage et conduit à s’intéresser aux relations ambiguës que les enquêtés tissent entre école et savoir et à leur forte demande d’une personnalisation de l’éducation.

An energy-preserving exponential scheme with scalar auxiliary variable approach for the nonlinear Dirac equations
Authors: Wang Hongquan , Liu Yancai , Cheng Xiujun
Published: January 2025

In this work, an energy-preserving scheme is proposed for the nonlinear Dirac equation by combining the exponential time differencing method with the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach. First, the original equations can be transformed into the equivalent systems by utilizing the SAV technique. Then the exponential time integrator method is applied for discretizing the temporal derivative, and the standard central difference scheme is used for approximating the spatial derivative for the equivalent one. Finally, the reformulated systems, the semi-discrete spatial scheme, and the fully-discrete, linearly implicit exponential scheme are proven to be energy conserving. The numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results.
Novel escape criteria for complex-valued hyperbolic functions through a fixed point iteration method
Authors: Şahan Tunçar , Atalan Yunus
Published: January 2025

This study presented an efficient fixed-point iteration method for deriving novel escape criteria for hyperbolic sine and hyperbolic cosine functions of varying degrees. The method contributes to obtaining more accurate and effective escape criteria, thereby enhancing the mathematical understanding and computational analysis of these functions. Additionally, using the derived criteria, the iteration method was employed to generate visually appealing fractals for Julia and Mandelbrot sets, demonstrating significant advantages in computational speed and practical utility. The method's effective performance in producing complex and aesthetically satisfying fractal structures highlights its efficiency and applicability in fractal generation.
Forecasting the monthly retail sales of electricity based on the semi-functional linear model with autoregressive errors
Authors: Yang Bin , Chen Min , Zhou Jianjun
Published: January 2025

In many statistical applications, data are collected sequentially over time and exhibit autocorrelation characteristics. Ignoring this autocorrelation may lead to a decrease in the model's prediction accuracy. To this end, assuming that the error process is an autoregressive process, this paper introduced a semi-functional linear model with autoregressive errors. Based on the functional principal component analysis and the spline method, we obtained the estimators of the slope function, nonparametric function, and autoregressive coefficients. Under some regular conditions, we found the convergence rate of the proposed estimators. A simulation study was conducted to investigate the finite sample performance of the proposed estimators. Finally, we applied our model to forecast the monthly retail sales of electricity, which illustrates the validity of our model from a predictive perspective.
Can teaching be taught? Improving teachers' pedagogical skills at scale in rural Peru
Authors: Castro Juan F. , Glewwe Paul , Heredia-Mayo Alexandra , Majerowicz Stephanie , Montero Ricardo
Published: January 2025

We evaluate the impact of a large‐scale teacher coaching program in Peru, a context with high teacher turnover, on teachers' pedagogical skills and student learning. Previous studies find that small‐scale coaching programs can improve teaching of reading and science in developing countries. However, scaling up can reduce programs' effectiveness, and teacher turnover can erode compliance and cause spillovers onto non‐program schools. We develop a framework that defines different treatment effects when teacher turnover is present, and explains which effects can be estimated. We evaluate this teacher coaching program, exploiting random assignment of that program's expansion to 3797 rural schools in 2016. After two years, teachers assigned to the program increased their aggregate pedagogical skills by 0.20 standard deviations. The program also increased student learning; after 1 year, Grade 2 students' mathematics and reading scores increased by 0.106 and 0.075 standard deviations (of the distributions of those test scores), respectively. After three years, the cumulative effect increases slightly, to 0.114 and 0.100, respectively. One reason why these impacts are low is that some uncoached teachers moved into treated schools in years 2 and 3. Following our framework, we estimate that the impacts on students of having a “fully” coached teacher for all three years are 0.18 and 0.16 standard deviations for mathematics and reading comprehension, respectively.
Double robust inference for continuous updating GMM
Authors: Kleibergen Frank , Zhan Zhaoguo
Published: January 2025

We propose the double robust Lagrange multiplier (DRLM) statistic for testing hypotheses specified on the minimizer of the population continuous updating objective function. The (bounding)
χ
2 limiting distribution of the DRLM statistic is robust to both misspecification and weak identification, hence its name. The minimizer is the so‐called pseudo‐true value, which equals the true value of the structural parameter under correct specification. To emphasize its importance for applied work where misspecification and weak identification are common, we use the DRLM test to analyze: the risk premia in Adrian et al. (2014) and He et al. (2017); the structural parameters in a nonlinear asset pricing model with constant relative risk aversion.
Assessing the role of permafrost in the preconditioning and triggering factors of the September 2020 Crête des Grangettes rockfall (southern French Alps)

Published: January 2025

Les parois rocheuses affectées par du permafrost sont très sensibles au changement climatique, entrainant parfois des écroulements rocheux menaçant les populations et infrastructures. Des études ont établi un lien entre l'instabilité des parois et la dégradation du permafrost, mais une documentation plus approfondie de ces évènements est nécessaire pour mieux comprendre les mécanismes liés à la dégradation du permafrost. Notre étude porte sur l’écroulement rocheux (~35 800 m3) qui s’est déclenché sur la Crête des Grangettes le 17 septembre 2020 (Hautes Alpes, France). Nous analysons les facteurs de prédisposition et de déclenchement de l'événement en combinant des méthodes de suivi des températures de surface du terrain, de modélisations numériques de transfert de chaleur, et de tomographie de résistivité électrique (ERT) associée à une analyse pétrophysique. Les résultats indiquent que le site d'étude est caractérisé par un permafrost tempéré (> -2 °C) dont le réchauffement est progressif depuis les années 1990 et s’intensifie depuis 2015 (+0,48 ± 0,12 °C par décennie à 22 m de profondeur), ce qui a probablement fragilisé les joints de glace dans les fractures, prédisposant à l’instabilité du versant. Les études ERT confirment la présence de permafrost autour de la niche d’arrachement, avec des secteurs riches en glace (résistivité > 10 kΩm). Enfin des précipitation 19 jours avant l’écroulement (91 mm cumulés) ont pu le déclenché par pressions hydrostatiques et/ou érosion de la glace dans les fractures. Cette approche multi-méthode fournis des résultats permettant de mieux évaluer les facteurs qui peuvent prédisposer ou déclencher un écroulement rocheux en contexte de permafrost.
Les polygones de fentes de gel hérités de la Montagne de Chine, futur site de la Réserve Naturelle Géologique de Haute Provence
Authors: Berthier-Laumond Salomé , Astrade Laurent , Deline Philip , Guiomar Myette
Published: January 2025

La Réserve Naturelle Géologique de Haute-Provence (RNGHP) développe des études avec des partenaires scientifiques dans le but d’accroître la connaissance de son patrimoine naturel. L’objectif de ce travail est d’aboutir à un recensement et à une cartographie des réseaux de polygones de fentes de gel présents dans son périmètre. La méthodologie choisie a été de cartographier, digitaliser et quantifier à échelle très fine, au vu de leur très grande concentration, les formes présentent sur la Montagne de Chine (sud-est du Massif des Monges, Préalpes de Digne), puis dans un second temps d’élaborer une analyse multicritère, pour tenter de déterminer les sites dans le territoire de la RNGHP où ces formes seraient potentiellement présentes. La carte géomorphologique montre la distribution des polygones de fentes de gel et les autres formes et formations du site. La majorité du terrain est recouverte par un sol sur substratum calcaire, propice au développement d’une pelouse alpine. L’emprise de l’ensemble du réseau représente 26,8 ha ; 1005 polygones complets ont été vectorisés, ainsi que 510 polygones incomplets (non fermés). Ils sont distribués entre 1648 et 1786 m d’altitude, leur pente moyenne est de 11,4°, et les 2/3 de leurs surfaces sont orientés nord. Sur la base des résultats, plusieurs secteurs de présence potentielle de polygones de fentes de gel ont été identifiés, en particulier au col de Bau et sur la Crête de Cadun ; leur digitalisation et quantification ont donc été effectuées. Leur identification et leur description montrent le grand intérêt scientifique et patrimonial du site de Chine à l’échelle des Alpes du sud.

e-corpus est un logiciel Open Source né de la collaboration entre historiens de l’art, chercheurs en science et techniques du numérique et l’entreprise Holusion. Ce projet interdisciplinaire nommé e-thesaurus a conclus une première phase en 2023 et abouti, d’une part, à la mise en ligne d’une base d'orfèvrerie médiévale au format 3D et, d’autre part, à des outils Open Source permettant de dupliquer ces résultats vers d’autres domaines. À partir de cette expérience et des recherches sur l’écosystème de la conservation du patrimoine à un format 3D se pose la problématique des usages et des pistes qui permettrait de construire un environnement 3D exhaustif pour la conservation, la médiation et l’enseignement à partir du patrimoine digitalisé. À travers une analyse des données disponibles sur la base Europeana et Sketchfab, nous avons voulu montrer les limites actuelles de ces infrastructures pour tenter d’apporter des solutions via une plateforme Open Source.

Mécénat aristocratique du théâtre de jésuites en Hongrie : les fondations de Paul Esterházy (1675-1772)
Authors: Knapp Éva , Tüskés Gábor
Published: January 2025

En Hongrie, le palatin Paul Ier Esterházy joue un rôle déterminant dans le développement du théâtre de collège en exerçant un mécénat éclairé, qui se traduit notamment par la création de fondations destinées à encourager les pensionnaires des collèges à jouer la comédie. Elles resteront actives jusqu’en 1772. Leurs archives ont livré de précieuses informations sur les primes remises aux pensionnaires, le public et le succès des pièces. La relation étroite qu’entretient le collège avec le pouvoir est perceptible dans les louanges adressées au prince dans le prologue ou l’épilogue de la pièce. Les sujets des pièces données dans le cadre de la fondation, soit environ 20 % du total, incluent généralement la figure du prince ou du seigneur fidèle au Roi. Elles mettent donc en scène le pouvoir dans le contexte d’une cour imaginaire et exercent les élèves à prendre en considération la donnée politique.
Les officiers fiscaux de Brabant : agents politiques du gouvernement à distance (deuxième moitié du XVIIIe siècle). Le cas des demandes d’amortissement des organisations religieuses
Authors: Verstraeten Jérôme
Published: January 2025

L’Office fiscal de Brabant est une institution provinciale rattachée au Conseil de Brabant. À l’origine, sa mission principale était de représenter les intérêts du souverain en justice au sein de ce conseil. Cependant, à partir du XVIIIe siècle, ses prérogatives sont considérablement élargies, au point où les officiers fiscaux deviennent des intermédiaires essentiels entre les institutions locales et centrales, s’inscrivant dans les politiques centralisatrices des Habsbourg. Ils deviennent ainsi des informateurs privilégiés des Conseils collatéraux, en émettant des avis sur un large éventail de thématiques nécessitant une prise de décision. Le nombre d’avis rendus par l’avocat fiscal de Brabant peut être quantifié dès 1760 grâce aux listes transmises annuellement au Conseil privé. La richesse des thématiques traitées témoigne de la polyvalence de ces officiers. Le cas spécifique des avis rendus sur les demandes d’amortissement de biens de mainmorte des organisations religieuses illustre leur rôle crucial dans les processus décisionnels. Cette fonction fait de l’office fiscal une institution intermédiaire stratégique, contribuant à la centralisation tout en reliant les réalités locales aux instances de pouvoir à Bruxelles et à Vienne.

Il a pris naissance au sein du centre de recherche de l’Observatoire musical français, à l’UFR de Musique et musicologie. Cette date anniversaire de la revue nous donne l’occasion de revenir sur le contexte de sa création et d’effectuer un retour sur son activité éditoriale. Comme nous le montrerons, l’histoire de la revue recouvre en partie celle de l’institutionnalisation universitaire des sciences de l’éducation musicale en France. En effet, la structuration d’un enseignement spécifique, relatif aux questions d’éducation musicale, a permis l’éclosion d’un nombre important de travaux de recherche qui ont nourri l’ambition de la création de la revue. L’article se compose de deux parties. La première introduit quelques repères historiques et contextuels sur la fondation et le développement de la revue. Elle s’appuie sur une présentation de l’institutionnalisation, à l’université, des sciences de l’éducation musicale, puis sur une description de la revue et de certains enjeux de sa ligne éditoriale. La seconde partie témoigne, à partir d’une analyse de contenu des différents numéros du JREM, de la diversité des articles publiés depuis 20 ans. Elle permet de positionner la revue par rapport à sa dimension pluridisciplinaire et interdisciplinaire, et offre un regard sur les thématiques et les formes de la recherche qui ont pu être investies et mobilisées.
Identifier les enjeux du partenariat inter-métiers dans un projet d’éducation musicale collective à vocation sociale : l’orchestre Démos Clermont-Ferrand

Published: January 2025

En 2019, le laboratoire ACTé de l’Université Clermont Auvergne a été sollicité pour mener une recherche-action s’intéressant aux professionnels (musiciens, danseurs, acteurs du champ social et de l’éducation, bénévoles) et aux structures partenaires engagées dans l’orchestre Démos Clermont-Ferrand. Le nombre important d’adultes encadrants de profils professionnels variés a orienté le questionnement de la recherche sur les modalités de coordination inter-métiers au sein de ce collectif partenarial hétérogène. Cette recherche-action menée entre octobre 2019 et juillet 2021 sous la forme d’une enquête ethnographique, complétée par des temps d’échange et de réflexion conçus à la manière des entretiens d’auto-confrontation, a fait émerger un certain nombre de points de vigilance qui sont ici interrogés. Elle montre que Démos Clermont repose à ce moment-là sur un réseau partenarial complexe et dynamique peu lisible pour la plupart des acteurs engagés dans le projet. Ce manque de lisibilité alimente un sentiment d’ambiguïté et d’asymétrie au niveau du pilotage du projet. Pour les acteurs impliqués, trouver sa place au sein de ce réseau complexe et dynamique est une tâche difficile, largement sous-estimée.
Le tirage au sort dans la culture politique des mondes grec et romain
Authors: Lundgreen Christoph
Published: January 2025

Cet article associe une discussion des grands textes et des traditions de recherche relatives à la culture politique d’Athènes et de Rome à une analyse théorique de la sortitio en tant que processus de prise de décision en général et en tant que procédure d’attribution en particulier. L’argumentation s’articule autour de trois parties. Premièrement, il est montré qu’à Athènes, le tirage au sort n’était qu’une procédure parmi d’autres qui, en tant que telle, c’est-à-dire lorsqu’on ne lui associait pas d’autres critères, ne pouvait pas être qualifiée en soi de démocratique. Dans un second temps, en ce qui concerne la République romaine, la répartition des provinces et le vote de la comitia praerogativa révèlent à quel point le tirage au sort était peu contraignant, ce qui rend problématique son identification à un présage religieux. Enfin, étant la caractéristique fondamentale du tirage au sort, nous étudierons la manière dont la sortitio établit l’égalité – à la fois avant le tirage (comme condition préalable) et après celui-ci (comme répercussion). Cette perspective permet d’éclairer les discussions anciennes et contemporaines entre les partisans et les opposants de la prise de décisions par tirage au sort, que ce soit chez Homère, Platon, Tacite ou, bien sûr, dans les débats récents des sciences politiques.
Le tirage au sort comme principe du bon gouvernement à l’époque augustéenne
Authors: Bothorel Julie , Hurlet Frédéric
Published: January 2025

L’utilisation du tirage au sort, appelé sors ou sortitio en latin, ne disparut pas avec la République romaine. Cette procédure s’épanouit à l’époque augustéenne, où les usages du tirage au sort étaient nombreux dans la vie publique, par exemple pour répartir des tâches définies au préalable par le Sénat ou pour sélectionner des magistrats, des juges, des prêtres ou des unités de vote. Cet article vise à expliquer pourquoi Auguste recourut aussi fréquemment à la sortitio, en particulier lors des multiples crises que le nouveau régime eut à affronter, mais aussi comment l’usage de la sortitio s’adapta au fonctionnement d’un régime devenu monarchique de fait et contribua à l’image du bon gouvernement qu’Auguste veilla à diffuser.
Enhancing Supply Chain Resilience in the Fashion Apparel Industry Through Advanced Analytics

Published: January 2025

The fast-paced fashion industry relies on far-flung supply chains, making it prone to disruptions. To combat this, supply chain resilience analytics steps in. It leverages data to pinpoint vulnerabilities, assess risks, and craft strategies to make fashion's supply chains more adaptable and recovery-swift in the face of surprises. This data-driven approach involves gathering and monitoring data, meticulously assessing risks, using predictive analytics to anticipate future challenges, and crafting both scenario planning and contingency plans. Additionally, it optimizes supply chain networks for efficiency. By proactively identifying and mitigating risks, fashion companies can ensure smooth production, distribution, and customer satisfaction. This translates to better operational efficiency, responsiveness to customer demands, and the ability to consistently deliver high-quality products. Ultimately, supply chain resilience analytics empowers fashion companies to navigate uncertainties with greater ease and build a robust and resilient supply chain ecosystem.
Design of Parallel Prefix Adder

The fundamental algorithms of many additional applications, including those that deal with machine learning, signal processing, image processing, and video processing, depend heavily on addition units. In addition to their intrinsic value, addenda are essential for many mathematical operations such as division, multiplication, squaring, and comparison. The parallel prefix adder (PPA) is among the fastest adders available. The efficient parallelization implementation of Parallel Prefix Adders (PPAs) in the carry production (G) and propagation (P) phases may be responsible for their fast performance. A PPA approximation based on estimates from POs is presented in this work. Each of these requires less energy than the others. Keywords—Adder, Signal processing, Algorithm, Parallel Prefix Adder,
Study and Analysis on Internal Quality Assessment to Overcome Defects in Apparel Industry
Authors: Lekhasri G. , Bhaarani K.M. , Durgadevi D. , Sowmiya M.
Published: January 2025

Numerous quality issues can be found in the apparel sector in a number of disciplines, including fabric spreading, cutting, sewing, printing, embroidery, ironing, and packing. In the garment business, the boundaries of acceptable product quality have retreated, penalizing every flaw with one point. In the garment business, total quality management, or TQM, is essential for increasing output, enhancing product quality, and cutting production costs by minimizing scraping and rework. Data on quality flaws has been gathered from Supply Chain Management (SCM) clothing using AQL standard of 7.0point Traffic light system (Green, Yellow, Red). To perform this study to use the TQM tools such as bar chart and pie chart, easy to compare the before implementation and after implementation product quality were analyzed. Additionally, data is collected in order to find flaws and fix them. Rework operations are initially found and fixed in order to lower the defect ratio. We will put our thoughts into practice and contribute to this project in order to control quality.

Published: January 2025

In developing countries like India, parasitic infections continue to be an important medical problem. The pulmonary involvement by Ascaris in the form of hypersensitivity reaction in the lungs has been well documented in the literature. However, the involvement of the pleural space is very rarely seen. Herein, we describe a case of a 32-year-old male patient who was found to have involvement of the pleural space by Ascaris and showed excellent response to anti-helminthic treatment. The report highlights the importance of considering Ascaris infection of the pleural space in those with lymphocytic predominant exudative pleural effusion. In tuberculosis-endemic countries, such cases are usually misdiagnosed and mistreated before the correct diagnosis is made. Thus, every effort should be made to make a final diagnosis before initiating treatment.

Background: Flow cytometric characterisation of acute leukaemia is a key diagnostic approach for clinical management of patients, but is minimally practised in resource-constrained settings like Ethiopia.Objective: This study aimed to determine the immunophenotypes of acute leukaemia by flow cytometry at Tikur Anbessa Specialised Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on adolescent and adult inpatients consecutively admitted from April 2019 to June 2021. Peripheral blood samples were stained for surface and cytoplasmic markers, and analysed by four-colour flow cytometry.Results: Of 140 cases aged 13 years to 76 years, 74 (53%) were men and 66 (47%) were women, 68 (49%) had acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL), 65 (46 %) had acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML), and 7 (5.0%) had acute leukaemia non-otherwise specified. Acute lymphocytic leukaemia was more common among adolescent and male cases; AML was more common among adult and female cases. Among ALL subtypes, B-cell acute lymphocytic leukaemia cases (73.5%) were more common than T-cell acute lymphocytic leukaemia (26.5%). A subset of acute leukaemia, CD19+/CD56+ AML was identified in 3 cases (6% of AML). Of the B-cell ALL cases, 21 (42%) were CD34+/CD10+/CD66c+, 10% were CD34+/CD10+/CD66c–, 32% were CD34-/CD10+, and 6% were CD34+/CD10–. An unexpectedly high number of T-cell ALL cases that lacked surface CD3 were observed to have significantly higher levels of aberrantly expressed myeloid markers.Conclusion: We observed multiple phenotypes identifying subtypes of acute leukaemia cases, extending our previous studies in Ethiopia.What this study adds: This study extends previous studies by describing phenotypically defined subsets of ALL and AML which, in addition to diagnosis, may have useful prognostic value for clinicians.
