В статье представлены результаты исследования микрофлоры навоза крупного рогатого скота и  применения его водной вытяжки в различных концентрациях (0,1%; 1,0%; 2,5%; 5,0%; 7,5%; 10,0%) на рост и развитие проростков ячменя сорта Целинный 2005. При изучении  численности микроорганизмов методом разведений было установлено, что в компостированном навозе преобладают бактерии, потребляющие минеральный азот (22,7 млн/г КОЕ) и целлюлозоразрушающие актиномицеты (16 тыс/г КОЕ). В качестве критетриев оценки водной вытяжки из навоза КРС на показатели начальных ростовых процессов были выбраны: энергия прорастания, лабораторная всхожесть, биометрия проростков ячменя. Использование водной вытяжки различных концентраций навоза вызывает  эффект стимулирования ростовых процессов семян ячменя при высоких концентрациях 5% и 7,5%,  и ингибирующий – при увеличении ее концентрации до 10%. Низкие концентрации не усиливали показатели роста семян ячменя. В соответствии с проведенными экспериментами оптимальной концентрацией водной вытяжки из навоза для предпосевной обработки семян ячменя оказалась 5 и 7,5%, на котором отмечен положительный эффект на рост проростков ячменя. Отмечено положительное влияние водной вытяжки навоза на корневую систему в дозах от 1 до 7,5%.
Обработка семян водной вытяжкой навоза можно отнести к числу перспективного технологического способа для улучшения питания растений ячменя для формирования будущего урожая.

Высококачественные семена являются одним из важных факторов роста и развития растений дыни. Характеристика качества семян проводилась по следующим показателям: масса 1000 семян, лабораторная и полевая всхожесть, по длине зародышевого  корешка и размеру семядольного листа. По результатам проведенной работы наибольший вес 1000 семян отмечен у сорта Муза - 69,3 - 72,3 г, а наименьшим у сорта Таисия -40,9 -41,3 г, соответственно по зонам. Лабораторный анализ по всхожести семян выявил, что семена всех изучаемых сортов соответствует первой категории она составила 98,7 % до 100 % в зависимости от сорта по обеим зонам. Результаты оценки показывают, что раннеспелые сорта европейского подвида более пластичны и менее требовательны к условиям произрастания, а среднеспелые и среднепоздние сорта среднеазиатского подвида более требовательны к почвенно-климатическим условиям. В условиях предгорной зоны развития корневой системы данных сортов показали более низкие результаты по сравнению с предгорно-степной зоны. Особенно отставали по развитию корневой системы сорта среднеазиатского подвида Майская и Муза. В конце вегетации количество и размеры учетных параметров составили: длина стержневого корня – 48,1 и 52,5 см, количество боковых корней - 16,2 и 15,7 шт и диаметр распространения боковых корней – 140,3 и 142,2 см соответственно.

Walnut blight is a harmful disease that affects nut crops. It is caused by the bacterium Pantoea agglomerans and has become widespread in recent years, posing a serious threat to walnut plantations. The disease not only destroys more than half of the crop, but also causes bark cracking and slow crown desiccation, which can lead to further infections. One of the most important requirements for modern varieties of agricultural plants, including nut crops, is an increased level of resistance to diseases.
In Kazakhstan, there is currently no data on the spread of diseases of nut crops and resistance of varieties to harmful diseases. This makes it difficult to recommend a suitable variety for industrial and private nut orchards. Ipmroving the breeding process and increasing the productivity of walnut plantations, it is extremely relevant to assess the resistance of varieties to the most dangerous pathogens.
For the first time in Kazakhstan, a two-year monitoring study was conducted to assess the resistance of promising walnut varieties and forms to the Pantoea agglomerans, taking into account the prevailing weather and climatic conditions. The study was carried out on 23 varieties and forms in the main fruit-growing regions of the country.
It was found that the walnut blight caused by the bacterium Pantoea agglomerans annually damages walnut plants, and the degree of disease damage depends on the prevailing weather and climatic conditions.
The research results revealed that the Moldavian variety - Kazaku showed high resistance to walnut blight. Other resistant varieties are Miroslava, Ovidiu, Germisara, Yarivski, Peshanski, Kogylnichanu, 185, Lipin 2, Liaohe, Fernor, Plin, and Kishinevski. These varieties showed minimal damage, not exceeding 2 points, during the years of observation.
These varieties are recommended as suitable varieties for increasing the productivity of industrial and private nut orchards and improving the breeding process.

Ежегодно селекционерами создается большое количество сортов салата посевного разных типов. Так в настоящее время в Государственный реестр селекционных достижений входит 332 сорта салата посевного отечественной и иностранной селекции. Селекция и семеноводство салата посевного в Казахстане ведется в регионах более южных, чем Алматинская область, однако климатические условия в области специфичны. Выращивание листового салата позволяет получить раннюю весеннюю витаминную продукцию, как для продажи, так и для собственного пользования. Защищенный грунт в Казахстан претерпевает существенные изменения и в условиях высоких рисков хозяйственной деятельности начинает развиваться как динамичная и конкурентно-способная отрасль сельского хозяйства, имеющая значение для круглогодичного снабжения населения свежими и богатыми витаминами овощами и зеленными культурами Обеспечение населения и перерабатывающей промышленности свежей продукцией является одной из важнейших задач овощеводства нашей страны. Выращивание зеленных листовых культур с грунтов на малообъемную технологию, появились пленочных теплицах. Алматинской области характеризуется увеличением продолжительности светового дня и резким снижением температуры воздуха, и заморозками весной, которые приносят восточные и северные ветры, а также низкими ночными температурами и большим количеством осадков осенью. Изучению салата посевного посвящены работы как отечественных, так и зарубежных ученых. По имеющимся данным известно, что урожайность и биохимический состав салата изменяются в зависимости от типа и сорта, от агроклиматических условий, складывающихся в период выращивания, и схемы посадки. Изучению количественного и качественного состава первичных и вторичных метаболитов салата посвящены работы (Lee M. et al., 2014; Manela N. et al., 2015; Головко Т.К. и др., 2017; Гинс М.С. и др., 2014; Carey E. et al., 2011). В связи с этим изучение биологических особенностей сортов салата посевного и разработка сроков и схем посадки в весеннем и осеннем оборотах пленочных теплиц в условиях Алматинской области является актуальной. В рамках темы научно-исследовательских работ на 2020-2023 гг. проводилась работа по агробиологической оценке и разработке отдельных элементов технологии выращивания салата посевного листового, полу кочанного и кочанного типов в пленочных теплицах Алматинской области.

Интродукция новой для Казахстана культуры – капусты Кале, выявление и оценка лучших сортов, изучение способов выращивания в различных условиях (открытый и защищенный грунт), будет способствовать диверсификации овощеводства страны, расширению видового состава овощных культур. Вместе с тем, у населения будет возможность получать витаминную продукцию круглогодично. В государственном реестре селекционных достижений, рекомендуемых к использованию в Республике Казахстан отсутствует регистрация не только сортов, гибридов листовой капусты Кале, но и как культуры в общем. Поэтому изучение и рекомендация данной культуры имеет большое значение для АПК страны.
Лучшие показатели по ростовым факторам и продуктивности наблюдались по NFT технологии по сравнению с аквапоникой как за первый месяц вегетации так и за весь период возделывания: по высоте стебля – 136,4-165,1%; по количеству листьев – 123,3-181,6%; по средней площади листа – 245,6-278,3%, по продуктивности от 195,3 до 461,58%. Вместе с тем, необходимо учитывать, что листовая продукция, полученная на аквапонике, экологически чистая и не содержит нитраты, а ее себестоимость намного ниже чем по NFT технологии, где использовались минеральные удобрения.
Данные приведенные в статье являются частью исследований, проводимых в рамках докторской диссертации, целью которой является изучение новой культуры для Казахстана – капусты Кале, выявление наиболее продуктивных гибридов для различных способов выращивания как открытом, так и в защищенном грунте, возможность создания зеленного конвейера для круглогодичного обеспечения населения свежей витаминной продукцией.

Статья посвящена изучению фейков, которые в контексте СМИ функционируют в качестве инструмента языкового манипулирования и трансформации общественного сознания. Выделяются способы репрезентации недостоверной информации. Приводятся различные определения понятия «фейк», отмечаются характерные особенности данного феномена. Рассматриваемое явление представляет угрозу, так как намеренное распространение дезинформации влияет на общественное сознание человека. Фейк-новости в СМИ служат различным целям, однако основной фундамент такого рода информации – язык. Особое значение в статье уделяется вопросу выявления фейков через определенные маркеры языкового манипулирования. Реципиент, не владеющий определенной системой противодействия фейкам, не способен защититься от их влияния. В рамках нашего исследования была разработана классификация маркеров фейковых новостей, которая опирается на исследования И. А. Стернина, А. М. Шестерниной и А. В. Николаевой. На основе изучения фейковых заголовков и статей, взятых из популярных электронных изданий, выявлены наиболее характерные маркеры фейк-новостей в русскоязычных и англоязычных СМИ. Определены сходства в их построении и отличительные особенности в использовании маркеров.

The article examines media fakes as a means of linguistic manipulation and transformation of public consciousness in the media, and defines the role of fakes in the system of language manipulation. Various definitions of the concept of "fake" and its characteristic features are examined. Fakes pose a threat because they elicit changes in public consciousness. Fake news in the media serves various purposes, and the main foundation of this kind of news is language. The article focuses on the issue of detecting fakes through markers of linguistic manipulation. A recipient who does not know a certain system of anti-fake measures is not able to protect themselves from linguistic manipulation. As part of our research, a classification of fake news markers was developed. The classification is based on the research of I.A. Sternin, A.M. Shesternina and A.V. Nikolaeva. Based on fake articles from popular electronic publications, the most characteristic markers of fake news in Russian and English-language media have been identified. Similarities in the construction of fakes and distinctive features in the use of markers in the mass media in Russian-language and English-language fake news are identified.
TURCISM ÇORAPIN THE PHRASEOLOGY OF SOUTH SLAVS
Authors: Кузнецова И.В.
Published: July 2024

В работе рассматриваются фразеологические единицы народов Южной Славии с компонентом-названием чулочно-носочного изделия çorapтурецкого происхождения на фоне других языков. Лексема вошла в языки этих народов во время Османской империи и у славян Балкан настолько адаптировалась, что давно не воспринимается как чужеродная. Цель статьи – показать фразеологический потенциал данного слова в корпусах фразеологии Болгарии, Боснии и Герцеговины, Македонии, Сербии и Хорватии. Актуальность работы обусловлена необходимостью комплексного изучения фразеологии южных славян для выявления универсального и идиоэтничного в этой сфере. Материалом анализа являются как активно употребляющиеся в наши дни в отдельных регионах Южной Славии фразеологические единицы с названием чулочно-носочного изделия в своем составе, так и ушедшие в пассивный запас обороты. Материал для исследования взят из разноплановых источников – фразеологических словарей, научных статей и диссертаций. Методы обработки фразеологического материала – синхронно-сопоставительный, структурно-типологический, ареально-описательный и структурно-семантический. Структурно-семантические модели фразеологических единиц иллюстрируют межъязыковую общность некоторых мотивационных идей, среди которых есть как выходящие за пределы Южной Славии, так и присущие славянским народам Балкан. В то же время анализ выявил немало фразеологизмов, известных только одной стране региона.

The work examines the phraseological units of some peoples of South Slavia with the component name of a piece of hosiery “çorap” of Turkish origin against the background of other languages. The lexeme entered the host languages during the Ottoman Empire and was so adapted by the Slavs of the Balkan Peninsula that it is no longer perceived as alien. The purpose of the article is to show the phraseological potential of this word in the phraseological corpus of Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia and Croatia. The relevance of the work is due to the need for a comprehensive study of the phraseology of South Slavs in order to identify the universal and idioethnic features in this sphere. The material of the analysis is phraseological units with the name of a piece of hosiery in their structure. These include units both actively used nowadays in certain regions of South Slavia, and those that have gone into a passive reserve. The methods of processing phraseological material include synchronous-comparative, structural-typological, areal-descriptive and structural-semantic analysis. The material is taken from diverse sources – phraseological dictionaries, scientific articles and dissertations. Structural and semantic models of phraseological units illustrate the interlingual similarity of some motivational ideas common both beyond the borders of South Slavia and among the Slavic peoples of the Balkans. At the same time, the analysis revealed many phraseological units known only to one country in the region.

Published: July 2024

Smartphones of students in tertiary institutions have been described as an understudied and under-explored microcosm by leading public health experts. The microbial quality of smartphone surfaces has been a constant reason for several scientific discussions. Two hundred students were initially targeted for the study, ten students in the final year class at the Hezekiah University Umudi permitted access to their phones during the sampling. The study carried by swabbing the surface of their phones with a normal saline-moistened swab stick using a square quadrant. The content was dislodged and diluted using a 10-fold serial dilution technique. The samples were evaluated for total heterotrophic count, coliform, fungal and Staphylococcal count. The bacterial isolates were tentatively identified using biochemical reactions. The total heterotrophic count of the samples obtained from the male students ranged from Log 2.82 CFU/cm2 to Log 3.21 CFU/cm2 while the total coliform count was observed to range from Log 1.3 CFU/cm2 to Log 1.6 CFU/cm2. The total heterotrophic count ranged from Log 2.82 CFU/cm2 to Log 3.21 CFU/cm2 for male students and from Log 1.6 CFU/cm2 to Log 2.73 CFU/cm2 for female students. The isolates obtained from the study were Acinetobacter sp., Escherichia coli, Proteus sp., Klebsiella sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Staphylococcus sp. There is a need for the University to educate students on the need to routinely use alcohol-based wipes to clean the surfaces of their phones as a precautionary measure to limit diseases associated with the use of mobile phones.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder with high prevalence worldwide. It is characterized by recurrent seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Treatment involves the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) to control seizures. Suboptimal use of AEDs can have negative impacts on seizure management in patients. This study aims to identify the most frequently used AEDs, the patterns of monotherapy and polytherapy use, and the factors influencing AED selection. This study is a descriptive research with prospective data collection. The data used are medical records of epilepsy patients at the Neurology Polyclinic of Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang. The research sample was obtained using the consecutive sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and presented in the form of descriptions and percentages from the collected medical record data regarding the use of antiepileptic drugs. In this study, 24 out of a total of 45 patients (53.3%) received single-agent antiepileptic therapy (monotherapy), while 21 other patients (46.7%) received combination antiepileptic therapy. The most common single-agent therapy was phenytoin, used by 17 patients, followed by carbamazepine used by 4 patients, and phenobarbital used by 3 patients. As for combination therapy, 14 patients received a combination of phenytoin and phenobarbital, 6 patients received a combination of carbamazepine and phenobarbital, and 1 patient received a combination of valproic acid and phenobarbital.

Published: July 2024

Vit D deficiency is a public health problem worldwide. According to epidemiological studies, low Vit D levels have been associated with an increased risk of certain neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, but the risk of high concentration of Vit D is not clearly affect in nervous system.. In this research, we studied whether vitamin D concentrations were associated with the activity of the nervous system in healthy people by comparing catecholamines concentrations in blood of 42 healthy women (age = 40-50 years old, body mass index: 22.7 ± 2.1 kg/m2). We had three groups as Vit D levels: (Deficient: vit D: ≤ 20 ng/L), (insufficient vita D 20-29 ng/L), (Sufficient vit D: ≥30≤70 ng/L). In our study:_ Plasma Noradrenaline decreased statistically significant ( p˂0.005) in high levels of vit D, _ Plasma Adrenaline increased statistically significant ( p˂0.005) in high levels of vit D,_ Plasma Dopamine increased statistically significant only in high levels of vitamin D. It should be mentioned that high levels of vita D has also been related to mood disorders, movement and a Calcium status. There was a statistical association between several measures of nervous system, hormones activity and vita D levels. This suggests that vita D induces catecholamine synthesis and/or secretion.

This study aims to investigate the effects of dif- ferent genres of music on sustained attention and working memory. The study utilized a randomized controlled be- tween-subject design while utilizing the non-probability sampling method of snowball sampling to collect partici- pants for the study. The participants are 61 adults of vari- ous ages. They underwent two different tasks testing sus- tained attention and working memory while exposed to 3 different music conditions: Metal music, Pop music, and Silence. The researchers used Kruskal Wallis to analyze the data due to the data not being normally distributed. Results showed significant results for SART and the Digit Span Test (p values = 0.038 and 0.003). The significant in- teractions show that sustained attention was the most sus- ceptible to distractions due to various genres of music, namely metal. Digit Span test also showed how silence had the least interference in working memory, with pop music having the most interference.

Published: July 2024

In dentistry, gingival enlargement are frequently encountered. To determine the most effective treatment, accurately identifying the underlying cause is crucial. Inflammation triggered by plaque buildup is the leading cause of gingival enlargement. This typically affects the interdental papillae and can be localized or generalized. Hormonal fluctuations, such as those occurring during puberty and pregnancy, can exaggerate gingival enlargement. Additionally, certain systemic medications can contribute to this condition. Successful treatment of gingival enlargement hinges on a four- pronged approach: accurately identifying the cause, improving oral hygiene practices, addressing any aesthetic concerns, and potentially surgical removal of excess tissue.

We have carried out HCO+(J = 1–0) and HCN (J = 1–0) line observations towards 210 infall candidates selected from the CO blue-profile catalog by Jiang et al., using the Purple Mountain Observatory 13.7 m telescope. Out of the 210 targets, 42 sources are further confirmed to have infall signatures in HCO+ and/or HCN lines, with a confirmation rate of ∼20%. According to the line profiles, we classify them into two categories: double-peaked and peak-shoulder. Some physical properties are estimated through profile fitting using the RATRAN model. We find that the two types are separated in parameter space, indicating they may be of different properties. The median values of kinetic temperature, infall velocity, and mass infall rate for the two types are 10.5 K and 40.8 K, 0.40 km s−1 and 1.00 km s−1, and 4.6 × 10−5

We also discuss the association of the 42 confirmed sources with other star formation activities such as maser and outflow, which supports this result.

We study the kinematics of a pillar, namely G287.76-0.87, using three rotational lines of 12CO(5-4), 12CO(8-7), 12CO(11-10), and a fine structure line of [O i] 63 μm in southern Carina observed by SOFIA/GREAT. This pillar is irradiated by the associated massive star cluster Trumpler 16, which includes η Carina. Our analysis shows that the relative velocity of the pillar with respect to this ionization source is small, ∼1 km s−1, and the gas motion in the tail is more turbulent than in the head. We also performed analytical calculations to estimate the gas column density in local thermal equilibrium (LTE) conditions, which yields N
CO as (∼0.2–5) × 1017 cm−2. We further constrain the gas’s physical properties in non-LTE conditions using RADEX. The non-LTE estimations result in

We found that the thermal pressure within the G287.76-0.87 pillar is sufficiently high to make it stable for the surrounding hot gas and radiation feedback if the winds are not active. While they are active, stellar winds from the clustered stars sculpt the surrounding molecular cloud into pillars within the giant bubble around η Carina.

Published: July 2024

IRAS 15099-5856 in the young supernova remnant (SNR) MSH 15−52 is the first and only SNR-associated object with crystalline silicate dust detected so far, although its nature and the origin of the crystalline silicate are still unclear. In this paper, we present high-resolution mid-infrared (MIR) imaging observations of the bright central compact source IRS1 of IRAS 15099-5856 to study the spatial distributions of gas and dust and the analysis of its Spitzer MIR spectrum to explore the origin of IRS1. The MIR images obtained with the T-ReCS attached on the Gemini South telescope show a complicated, inhomogeneous morphology of IRS1 with bright clumps and diffuse emission in [Ne ii] 12.81 μm and Qa 18.30 μm, which confirms that IRS1 is an extended source externally heated by the nearby O star Muzzio 10, a candidate for the binary companion of the progenitor star. The Spitzer MIR spectrum reveals several ionic emission lines including a strong [Ne ii] 12.81 μm line, but no hydrogen line is detected. We model the spectrum using the photoionization code Cloudy with varying elemental composition. The elemental abundance of IRS1 derived from the model is close to that of supernova (SN) ejecta with depleted hydrogen and enhanced metals, particularly neon, argon, and iron. Our results imply that IRS1 originates from the SN ejecta and suggest the possibility of the formation of crystalline silicate in newly formed SN dust.

We present a method to estimate distances to asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Galaxy, using spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in the near- and mid-infrared. By assuming that a given set of source properties (initial mass, stellar temperature, composition, and evolutionary stage) will provide a typical SED shape and brightness, sources are color matched to a distance-calibrated template and thereafter scaled to extract the distance. The method is tested by comparing the distances obtained to those estimated from very long baseline interferometry or Gaia parallax measurements, yielding a strong correlation in both cases. Additional templates are formed by constructing a source sample likely to be close to the Galactic center, and thus with a common, typical distance for calibration of the templates. These first results provide statistical distance estimates to a set of almost 15,000 Milky Way AGB stars belonging to the Bulge Asymmetries and Dynamical Evolution (BAaDE) survey, with typical distance errors of ±35%. With these statistical distances, a map of the intermediate-age population of stars traced by AGBs is formed, and a clear bar structure can be discerned, consistent with the previously reported inclination angle of 30° to the GC–Sun direction vector. These results motivate deeper studies of the AGB population to tease out the intermediate-age stellar distribution throughout the Galaxy, as well as determining statistical properties of the AGB population luminosity and mass-loss-rate distributions.

This article presents new astronomical source catalogs using data from the BUFFALO Survey. These catalogs contain detailed information for over 100,000 astronomical sources in the six BUFFALO clusters: A370, A2744, AS1063, MACS 0416, MACS 0717, and MACS 1149 spanning a total of 240 arcmin2. The catalogs include positions and forced photometry measurements of these objects in the F275W, F336W, F435W, F606W, F814W, F105W, F125W, F140W, and F160W HST bands, Keck-NIRC2/VLT-HAWKI Ks band, and IRAC Channel 1 and 2 bands. Additionally, we include photometry measurements in the F475W, F625W, and F110W bands for A370. This catalog also includes photometric redshift estimates computed via template fitting using LePhare. When comparing to a spectroscopic reference, we obtain an outlier fraction of 8.6% and scatter, normalized median absolute deviation, of 0.059. The catalogs are publicly available for their use by the community (https://archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/buffalo/).
The Relationship between US-China Semiconductor Friction and US National Security:
A Realism Perspective.
Authors: Peng Yuxin
Published: July 2024

In recent years, the US has been escalating sanctions on China’s semiconductor industry, attributing these measures to national security concerns in official statements. This study employs a realism theory framework to analyse these sanctions, emphasizing their connection to US national security. US national security aims to achieve global influence in both military and non-military domains, with the semiconductor industry playing a crucial role in US national security and economic stability. The emerging capabilities of China’s semiconductor industry pose potential challenges to these critical aspects. In the military domain, China has deployed artificial intelligence and 5G technologies for military purposes, attaining capabilities comparable to the US. These technologies heavily rely on semiconductor chips as hardware support. In response, the US targets China’s semiconductor industry, aiming to indirectly impede China’s military competition. Additionally, the US position in the global semiconductor manufacturing value chain renders it relatively vulnerable. Given the US dependence on key products manufactured in China, concerns about the security of the semiconductor value chain arise. Therefore, motivated by national security considerations, the US has implemented significant sanctions on China’s semiconductor industry to address the military and economic threats posed by China.
Reimagining Academic Performance Management in the Age of AI
Authors: Dare Richard
Published: July 2024

The university’s initial response to the spectre of artificial intelligence nullifying the efficacy of traditional academic performance assessments may present us with, if the reader will indulge an old chestnut, a case of ‘c’est vouloir prendre des li`evres au son du tambour’. That is to say, the unexpected 2022 arrival of ChatGPT (to say nothing of the progeny rapidly evolving AI systems will likely spawn next) is at this very moment spreading like an intellectual pandemic – whether professors wish to acknowledge its presence or not.

As a community dedicated to thoughtful education, this new technology compels us to choose between three entirely distinct strategies:

Ignore the impact of large language models on learning and assessment altogether and watch our students’ skills erode – the default non-response if we fail to act; or

Fight against the inevitable incursion of cut-and-paste technologies such as ChatGPT by categorising them as forms of plagiarism, banning their use in academia, and trying to identify their offspring so we can apply largely feckless punishments as imagined remedies; or

Embrace the new technologies and harness them in ways that radically recast core international educational and assessment practises, making them more suitable for the world in which we actually live.

Embrace the new technologies and harness them in ways that radically recast core international educational and assessment practises, making them more suitable for the world in which we actually live.

This paper imagines just such a third way.

By contextualising technological advances as useful tools that can decolonise ailing education systems, the author imagines new evidence-based teaching and assessment strategies that can challenge students to achieve higher academic standards, making higher education increasingly impactful on the real world.

The opportunity, this paper argues, is for international educational systems to ‘go beyond the unknown to meet the known’.
L’évolution des politiques de développement des infrastructures de transport en contexte néolibéral togolais
Authors: Djolar Kossigari
Published: July 2024

L’article examine le contexte contemporain des projets d’infrastructures de transport au Togo. Il met en lumière une transition significative vers le néolibéralisme dans la politique d’infrastructures de l’État. Alors que le pays émerge d’une période de turbulences politiques et économiques débutée en 1980 avec les programmes d’ajustements structurels et l’échec de la transition démocratique, les grands projets de transport sont présentés comme des catalyseurs d’un nouveau développement économique. Cependant, cette relance s’accompagne de changements majeurs dans la conception, le financement et la gestion des infrastructures, avec une forte implication des acteurs privés encouragée par des organismes supranationaux et des institutions financières internationales. Les infrastructures de transport ne sont plus seulement envisagées dans une perspective de consolidation de la souveraineté territoriale de l’État, comme elles l’étaient pendant la période de la politique des grands travaux. Dans le paradigme néolibéral, elles deviennent également, de manière plus prononcée, des instruments destinés à faciliter et accélérer les flux de connexion aux réseaux d’échanges mondiaux. Les infrastructures deviennent ainsi des instruments de domination politique et économique au profit du pouvoir politique togolais et des opérateurs privés, engendrant de nouveaux rapports de pouvoir à différentes échelles. Malgré la diversification des acteurs, l’État togolais renforce son pouvoir politique en s’adaptant aux exigences de la mondialisation économique. L’étude, basée sur des entretiens et des données quantitatives collectées entre 2019 et 2022 auprès d’une diversité d’acteurs investis dans le secteur, révèle que la néolibéralisation des infrastructures de transport a transformé les modes de production et de gestion, favorisant des pratiques de clientélisme et d’affairisme. En dépit de l’introduction de nouveaux mécanismes de financement et de gouvernance, l’État conserve un rôle central dans la coordination et le contrôle du secteur. Ainsi, l’ouverture au secteur privé ne diminue pas le pouvoir de l’État, mais contribue à façonner un État développementaliste néolibéral, conciliant la souveraineté avec la protection des intérêts privés.
Dépasser les ancrages disciplinaires. Pour des logistics studies de terrain
Authors: Blaszkiewicz Hélène
Published: July 2024

Cet article a pour objectif de réfléchir à la place des logistics studies dans les sciences sociales. À partir d’une revue des travaux ayant fait de la logistique un thème important dans leurs traditions scientifiques respectives, l’étude cherche à dépasser les ancrages disciplinaires et à faire de la logistique un objet d’étude transversal aux sciences sociales s’intéressant aux transformations des géographies économiques et des pratiques commerciales. L’article souhaite particulièrement mettre en exergue ce que les logistics studies peuvent apporter à l’étude de l’économie des pays des Suds (et de l’Afrique en particulier). Les travaux analysés sont classés suivant deux pôles : d’un côté, nombre d’entre eux se placent à l’échelle internationale pour comprendre les effets de la logistique, tendant à naturaliser l’ambition globale de cette industrie. De l’autre, ce sont les particularités locales des circulations marchandes et des outils logistiques qui retiennent l’attention. Je conclus en proposant un programme méthodologique et théorique capable de lier ces différentes traditions scientifiques et développer pleinement les potentiels des études logistiques.
