Industrial Heritage in India: challenges as well as issues in its identification, protection and management
Authors: Gupta Divay
Published: December 2023

This article explores the concept of Industrial Heritage and its relevance within the Indian context. Conservation in India has unique challenges arising out of the limited protection framework, the complexity of heritage resources and limited awareness and priority. The main issues confronting the preservation of Industrial Heritage sites in India are related to its lack of identification as a cultural resource and lack of awareness in local communities due to their perception and attitudes towards it. But the question has remained as to how to generate public opinion towards the need to preserve and promote our industrial heritage in a holistic manner, for its conservation as a cultural legacy and part of our identities in this globalizing world. This article explores the challenges in documenting, protecting, restoring, and managing Industrial Heritage sites in India, drawing upon personal experience of the last 27 years in attempting to conserve them.

Authors: Moreira Inês , Azevedo Inês , Mateus Joana , Severino Alexandra , Mendonça Joana
Published: December 2023

O Arquivo-vivo PressHere é um ensaio visual que partilha a origem, a conceptualização e a implementação do projecto PressHere, a living archive of European Industry. Iniciado da profusão de registos fotográficos da história da indústria nos arquivos da Casa da Imagem (Portugal) e no Museu IMI-Gabrovo (Bulgária), PressHere activa um legado cultural único sobre a história da indústria, em particular a indústria da imagem fotográfica, para, numa abordagem interdisciplinar que envolve a mediação e a arte, perseguir o objectivo original de sensibilizar jovens de vários níveis do ensino obrigatório para heranças pós-industriais Europeias. Estruturado a partir de um Guia de Investigação original, o projeto define e debate conceitos como pós-industrialidade, realidade sistémica, direitos humanos e laborais, igualdade de género, sustentabilidade e património industrial. Este ensaio-visual apresenta as estratégias teórico-práticas de investigação transdisciplinar conducentes ao Guia, os passos da sua implementação (vidas), testados com escolas e reporta, sobretudo, a diversidade de processos visuais inerentes à investigação, implementação e resultados preliminares do arquivo-vivo (2021-2023).
Más allá de puntas colas de pescado: estudios tecno-morfológicos y funcionales del sitio Amigo Oeste (Somuncurá, Argentina)
Authors: Terranova Enrique , Lynch Virginia
Published: December 2023

El sitio Amigo Oeste (AW), concentra el mayor registro de Puntas Cola de Pescado (PCP) de Patagonia, artefactos diagnósticos del poblamiento temprano en América durante la transición Pleistoceno-Holoceno. Si bien las PCP constituyen el 40 % de los instrumentos recuperados, otros artefactos formatizados forman parte del sitio. En este trabajo se analiza las posibles actividades desarrolladas en el sitio, a partir del análisis tecno-morfológico y morfológico-funcional del resto de los artefactos formatizados. Se reconoció variedad de grupos tipológicos, donde el conjunto de bifaces, raspadores y raederas se encuentran mayormente representados. A nivel funcional, se reconoció un bajo grado de integridad y escasa variabilidad funcional. Estos resultados nos permiten sostener que el sitio AW habría funcionado no sólo como un lugar de reequipamiento de PCP, sino también, donde se habrían llevado a cabo otras actividades como la preparación de tientos y producción de astiles, actividades principalmente orientadas a la preparación y acondicionamiento del instrumental para la caza.
Lo tecnológico es político. Reflexiones sobre las lógicas colonialistas de los medios digitales.
Authors: Di Tullio Martina
Published: December 2023

En las últimas décadas, la literatura arqueológica, antropológica y filosófica ha desarrollado intensos debates en relación al concepto de tecnología en el marco del llamado “giro ontológico” en las ciencias humanas. Los enfoques dominantes hoy en día alternan entre visiones instrumentalistas, que suponen la neutralidad de la tecnología, y los abordajes radicales de la arqueología simétrica, que resaltan su papel activo. El objetivo de este trabajo es cuestionar ambos extremos desde una perspectiva decolonial, y proponer en cambio un enfoque que reconozca la influencia de los contextos de producción y de uso sobre las características de las tecnologías y sus efectos. A su vez, se analiza el caso particular de los medios digitales como portadores de lógicas y significados propios de la cosmología occidental contemporánea que se manifiestan en sus aspectos materiales. De este modo, se remarca el carácter político de las nuevas tecnologías, de los discursos sobre ellas y de sus procesos de expansión en las regiones del Sur global. Resulta así relevante el estudio de lo que sucede en la práctica de inserción de lo digital en contextos específicos.
Reproductores cosmológicos de discursos de poder:
Authors: Neira Cordero Elisa
Published: December 2023

The aim of this paper is to understand the meaning of the practice of construction and placement of obelisks in ancient Egypt from the analysis of the characteristics of these monuments and the different contexts in which they intervened. We have considered a diachronic perspective, in order to identify whether this practice generated worldview changes in the New Kingdom, specifically under the Eighteenth Dynasty.
Heliopolis was the main site of obelisks since the Old Kingdom (ca. 2543-2120 BC). During the Middle Kingdom (ca. 1908-1760 BC) Senusret I maintained this practice there, although he made changes, and from the New Kingdom (ca. 1539-1077 BC) the obelisks were placed next to the pylons from the temples.
In this context, the obelisk was considered a building related to the cult of Ra that allows the reproduction of ancient Egyptian cosmology. We consider this type of monument as part of a political discourse carried out by the pharaohs, especially during the Eighteenth Dynasty (ca. 1539-1292 BC), when the first pair of obelisks was placed in Thebes, the place of origin of the Ahmoside dynasty that reunified the state.
Contextos domésticos campesinos en el valle de El Bolsón (dpto. Belén, Catamarca): ¿Qué nos cuentan las vasijas más tempranas? (ca. 900 a.C – ca. 900 d.C)
Authors: Salomé Sastre Julieta Yamila , Korstanje María Alejandra
Published: December 2023

El presente trabajo da a conocer los resultados del análisis tecnológico, morfológico y estilístico de recipientes cerámicos procedentes de contextos residenciales correspondientes al período Formativo (ca. 900 a.C. – ca. 900 d.C.) del valle de El Bolsón, situado en el departamento Belén, provincia de Catamarca. La ocupación en el valle en este segmento temporal da cuenta de un territorio campesino prehispánico constituido por diferentes instalaciones destinadas a la producción agrícola-ganadera, a la obtención de recursos alimenticios, residencias permanentes, áreas de circulación y lugares con ocupación temporaria (Korstanje 2005, 2007). A su vez ese territorio se ha ensamblado en redes de interacción que conectaron personas y objetos a una escala regional. En el tema alfarero, trabajos previos analizaron los conjuntos cerámicos del periodo de Desarrollos Regionales y del sitio Los Viscos. En esta oportunidad se analiza, por primera vez, el material alfarero más temprano, procedente de distintas unidades residenciales de tres de los sitios localizados en el sector Septentrional del valle, buscando una aproximación al “modo de hacer”, con el fin de generar y discutir la información con respecto a su producción y consumo en este contexto social temprano.

Ocupaciones humanas en la alta montaña de Mendoza entre los siglos XIX y XX.
Authors: Prieto Olavarria Cristina , Sáez Victoria , Chiavazza Horacio
Published: December 2023

El marco general de este trabajo se centra en las ocupaciones humanas de momentos posthispánicos en la Cordillera Principal de Mendoza (Argentina), problemática arqueológica escasamente abordada en la región. La Casucha Paramillo de Las Cuevas es uno de los ocho refugios construidos a fines del siglo XVIII para facilitar el cruce cordillerano por el Paso Uspallata. Por esta región extrema -alturas superiores a 3000 msnm e intensas nevadas invernales- circularon personas, el correo real y el comercio entre los océanos Atlántico y Pacífico. Esta contribución se enfoca en el análisis de miles de vidrio recuperados en los aleros aledaños a la casucha y la presentación general de los contextos. Ambos abrigos fueron ocupados en tiempos históricos, si bien también presentan evidencia de ocupaciones prehispánicas. Se recuperaron diversos tipos de botellas de bebidas alcohólicas producidas industrialmente entre mediados del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Estas bebidas fueron consumidas por viajeros, arrieros y posiblemente por trabajadores involucrados en la construcción de Ferrocarril Trasandino y el telégrafo, con el objetivo de aliviar el frío y congelamiento durante el viaje y los períodos de aislamiento. La presencia de estos restos, algunos foráneos, muestran el impacto de la inserción de esta zona meridional y extrema en el sistema económico global desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX.

Published: December 2023

The development of efficient drug delivery systems is pivotal in modern pharmacotherapy, aiming to enhance biological efficacy while minimizing the adverse effects of pharmaceutical agents. Recent focus has shifted towards lipid as well as polymer-containing nano-phytotherapeutics, amalgamating the benefits of natural and synthetic materials. Lipid-containing nanocarriers, like liposomes and lipid nanoparticles, are particularly suited for encapsulating hydrophobic phytochemicals, thereby augmenting their bioavailability and stability. Incorporating biodegradable polymers like chitosan and polyethylene glycol facilitates controlled release and target-specific delivery. Furthermore, the utilization of plant-derived phytochemicals offers reduced toxicity compared to synthetic drugs. This chapter outlines current research in this domain, emphasizing the synergistic potential of lipid-based nanocarriers and biocompatible polymers for phytochemical delivery. Strategies encompass formulation techniques, surface modifications, and targeted drug release mechanisms. The potential applications of these systems in treating diverse diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and infectious diseases, are also discussed. Overall, lipid and polymer-based Nano-phytotherapeutics exhibit promise as adaptable and biocompatible drug delivery platforms, heralding benefits for efficient and targeted phytochemical delivery, potentially revolutionizing modern medicine. Further advancement in this field is anticipated to yield novel therapeutic solutions with enhanced clinical outcomes and reduced side effects.

The Relationship between Parental Characteristics and Social Interaction Skills of Autistic Children in SLB Sragen Region
Authors: Fitri Idha Rosydiana , Arifah Siti
Published: December 2023

Autism is a disorder that occurs in brain tissue where the condition is a developmental disorder characterized by the inability to carry out social interactions, inability to communicate and repetitive behavior. This causes an autistic child to prefer to be alone and unable to communicate with other people well. Parental involvement in parenting significantly increases the developmental progress of children with autism, including allocating time for joint activities, frequent interaction, financial assistance, active parenting, and being involved in playing with children. Thus, the role of parents is very much needed. to provide care in the development of autistic children. This research aims to determine the relationship between parental characteristics and social interaction abilities for Autistic Children in SLB in the Sargen area. This research used a cross sectional method involving 60 parents who had autistic children at the Sragen Regency Special School which was conducted in September 2023. Social interaction data was measured using ATEC (Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist). The data analysis used is the data normality test and continued with the Chisquare test to determine the relationship between variables. There is a weak relationship between age, parental education, employment and family income with the social interaction abilities of autistic children in the Sragen Regional Special School. (p 0.04 phi = 0.34, p 0.015 phi 0.282, p 0.007 phi -0.268, p 0.01 phi 0.336). Several parental characteristics have a relationship with the social interaction abilities of autistic children, although the categories are weak.

Christine and the Queens, Chris, Redcar, and navigating gender identity
Authors: Lomeli Timothy
Published: December 2023

Gender identity expression continues to be the subject of public discourse. In the past few decades, scholars and members of the general public have questioned the idea of a stable and binary gender identity, which has caused debates in both the anglophone and francophone worlds. Redcar, also known as Christine and the Queens, as well as Chris, is a particularly interesting public figure concerning gender identity and expression because his relationship has evolved throughout his career. The artist has been remarkably open about his relationship with gender throughout the last decade, which has been in the public eye. Redcar is also someone who has found himself between the anglophone and francophone worlds – he expresses a cultural identity that is neither altogether French nor anglophone, but hybrid.

As a musician whose journey with gender has been more or less public, it raises the question: How does Redcar use his music, videos, and persona to navigate and express his evolving relationship with gender? Through the use of gender and queer theories, this article demonstrates how Redcar has used these elements to examine and redefine his own gender. This essay will look specifically at the construction of his celebrity persona, followed by a lyrical analysis of the song “iT” from his first album
Chaleur humaine
(2014) and a scenic analysis from the music video for “5 dols/5 dollars” from his second album
Chris
(2018) to demonstrate how Redcar’s public experience of gender exploration works to deconstruct the idea of a static gender and instead demonstrates how gender is always in a process of renegotiation.
Christine and the Queens and the art of the cover version: interpretations, audience, place
Authors: Hooper Deborah
Published: December 2023

More than many pop artists, Christine and the Queens performs cover versions of familiar songs, often on live TV or radio shows. His selections frequently are interpretations of hits from the 1980s and 1990s. However they are more than the chance to share a nostalgic trip with the audience. In France, he often chooses familiar songs by much-loved singers from the French tradition, thus reassuring them of his Frenchness, despite his growing position on the world stage. On platforms overseas, he often selects huge hits by global anglophone stars, so claiming his place amongst the most successful international British and American performers, albeit that he is French.

Using interviews, reviews, and music videos, my research looks in detail at two examples of cover versions by Christine and the Queens, one in French and one in English, exploring why these songs were selected for these particular moments. First, I examine his performance of Mylène Farmer’s “California” on Taratata Live in September 2018. In choosing this song, Chris aligns himself not only with one of the most provocative and daring French singers, but also one deeply supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. The track, with its topics of escape and reinvention in Los Angeles, has resonance for Chris’s own experience, and the original video shares themes of transactional sex and power with Christine and the Queens’s own video for “5 Dollars.” Next, I consider his performance of George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90” at the Global Citizen in September 2021. Chris sets himself alongside a very high-profile, gay artist who battled to reclaim his musical and personal identity after an early career in a worldfamous, highly commercial pop duo. In doing so, he lays out his desire to break from the shackles of the success of his first album,
Chaleur humaine
, and to have the freedom to evolve, as an artist and in his place as a trans man.
Christine and the Queens at the BBC: hybridity, relation, tilting
Authors: Munro Martin
Published: December 2023

This article reads 2016 as a breakthrough year for Christine and the Queens in the United Kingdom, particularly England. Through analyzing a select corpus of interviews and performances, I argue that the artist’s personal breakthroughs occur in a context of changing UK–European relations, and indeed of the ever-changing persona of Christine, who changes constantly and yet stays the same in crucial regards. I read such evolving identities and relations with reference to the thought of the Martinican theorist Édouard Glissant.
Bayesian Analysis for Remote Biosignature Identification on exoEarths (BARBIE). II. Using Grid-based Nested Sampling in Coronagraphy Observation Simulations for O2 and O3

We present the results for the detectability of the O2 and O3 molecular species in the atmosphere of an Earth-like planet using reflected light at visible wavelengths. By quantifying the detectability as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), we can constrain the best methods to detect these biosignatures with next-generation telescopes designed for high-contrast coronagraphy. Using 25 bandpasses between 0.515 and 1 μm and a preconstructed grid of geometric albedo spectra, we examined the spectral sensitivity needed to detect these species for a range of molecular abundances. We first replicate a modern-Earth twin atmosphere to study the detectability of current O2 and O3 levels, and then expand to a wider range of literature-driven abundances for each molecule. We constrain the optimal 20%, 30%, and 40% bandpasses based on the effective S/N of the data, and define the requirements for the possibility of simultaneous molecular detection. We present our findings of O2 and O3 detectability as functions of the S/N, wavelength, and abundance, and discuss how to use these results for optimizing future instrument designs. We find that O2 is detectable between 0.64 and 0.83 μm with moderate-S/N data for abundances near that of modern Earth and greater, but undetectable for lower abundances consistent with a Proterozoic Earth. O3 is detectable only at very high S/N data in the case of modern-Earth abundances; however, it is detectable at low-S/N data for higher O3 abundances that can occur from efficient abiotic O3 production mechanisms.
Sticking of Fine Particles in High-velocity Impact: Application to Size Distribution of Dust Grains in a Debris Disk
Authors: Kadono Toshihiko , Kobayashi Hiroshi , Yokoyama Mitsuru
Published: December 2023

Impact experiments were conducted at a velocity of ∼0.2–1.0 km s−1 using fine particles with several microns or submicrons in size. For metal (Cu) plate targets, as observed in previous impact experiments using projectiles with sizes larger than tens of micron, our experiments with the fine particles also show that projectile materials can remain in the crater. For brittle (SiO2 glass) plate targets, though previous impact experiments using projectiles with sizes larger than tens of microns have shown the spallation and ejection of projectile materials, our experiments with the fine particles show that irreversible inelastic deformation of targets occurred and that projectile materials can remain in the crater. This is explained by the absorption of impact energy determined via the competition between deformation and crack propagation. The deformation thus contributes to the energy absorption even for brittle materials at small sizes. Compiling our results and previous data, we found that sticking can occur in collisions with particles up to at least 1 cm for ductile (metal) targets and 10 μm for brittle targets at several hundred meters per second. As an application, we evaluated the size distribution of dust grains in a debris disk where the sticking of fine particles is assumed to occur. We demonstrated that the collisional sticking modified the size distribution, resulting in the decrease of spectral energy distribution at millimeter wavelengths, consistent with the photometry data of this debris disk. This suggests that the sticking of fine particles occurs in this debris disk.
What Are the Causes of Super Activity of Solar Active Regions?
Authors: Dhakal Suman K. , Zhang Jie
Published: December 2023

Flare productivity varies among solar active regions (ARs). This study analyzed 20 ARs of contrasting sunspot areas and flare productivities to understand the super flare productivity of certain ARs. We used the flare index (FI) as an indicator of flare activity. We examined the pattern of morphological evolution of magnetic features. Further, we derived a set of magnetic feature parameters to quantitatively characterize ARs. Our study found that the correlation coefficient is the highest (r = 0.78) between FI and the length of the strong gradient polarity inversion line (SgPIL), while the coefficient is the lowest (r = 0.14) between FI and the total unsigned magnetic flux. For the selected ARs, this study also found that the super flare productive ARs have SgPILs (R value) longer (greater) than 50 Mm (4.5). These results suggest that flare productivity is mainly controlled by the size of the subregion that comprises close interaction of opposite magnetic polarities and is weakly correlated with the size of the whole ARs. Further, even though magnetic flux emergence is important, this study shows that it alone is insufficient to increase flare productivity. New emergence can drive either the interaction of like or opposite magnetic polarities of nonconjugate pairs (i.e., polarities not from the same bipole). In the former case, the magnetic configuration remains simple, and flare productivity would be low. In the latter case, the convergence of opposite magnetic fluxes of nonconjugate pairs results in a magnetic configuration with long SgPIL and an increase in flare productivity.

Published: December 2023

This study provides a detailed analysis of five distant interplanetary shocks observed by the Solar Wind Around Pluto instrument on board New Horizons, which exhibit the signature of a suprathermal H+ pickup ion (PUI) tail in the downstream distribution. These shocks were observed with a PUI data cadence of approximately 24 hr, covering a heliocentric distance range of 23.71–36.75 au. The shock compression ratio varies between approximately 1.4 and 3.2. The H+ PUI density and temperature show a gradual increase across the shock, while the H+ solar wind density shows erratic behavior without a distinct downstream compression. The H+ PUI cooling index variation across the shock displays different characteristics in each shock. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the variation of the number density of downstream H+ PUI tails with the shock compression ratio, revealing an increase in tail density with stronger shocks. Additionally, theoretical estimates of reflected PUI number densities derived from the electrostatic cross-shock potential agree very well with the observed H+ PUI tail densities for stronger shocks.

Published: December 2023

We study how stably stratified or semiconvective layers alter tidal dissipation rates associated with the generation of inertial, gravito-inertial, interfacial, and surface gravity waves in rotating giant planets. We explore scenarios in which stable (nonconvective) layers contribute to the high rates of tidal dissipation observed for Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system. Our model is an idealized spherical Boussinesq system incorporating Coriolis forces to study effects of stable stratification and semiconvective layers on tidal dissipation. Our detailed numerical calculations consider realistic tidal forcing and compute the resulting viscous and thermal dissipation rates. The presence of an extended stably stratified fluid core significantly enhances tidal wave excitation of both inertial waves (due to rotation) in the convective envelope and gravito-inertial waves in the dilute core. We show that a sufficiently strongly stratified fluid core enhances inertial wave dissipation in a convective envelope much like a solid core does. We demonstrate that efficient tidal dissipation rates (and associated tidal quality factors

)—sufficient to explain the observed migration rates of Saturn's moons—are predicted at the frequencies of the orbiting moons due to the excitation of inertial or gravito-inertial waves in our models with stable layers (without requiring resonance locking). Stable layers could also be important for tidal evolution of hot and warm Jupiters and hot Neptunes, providing efficient tidal circularization rates. Future work should study more sophisticated planetary models that also account for magnetism and differential rotation, as well as the interaction of inertial waves with turbulent convection.

Purpose: To evaluate set-up error for head and neck cancer (HNC) patients according to each neck lymph node (LN) level. And clinical factors affecting set-up error were analyzed.Materials and Methods: Reference points (RP1, RP2, RP3, and RP4) representing neck LN levels I to IV were designated. These RP were contoured on simulation computed tomography (CT) and cone-beam CT of 89 HNC patients with the same standard. After image registration was performed, movement of each RP was measured. Univariable logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze clinical factors related to measured movements.Results: The mean value of deviation of all axes was 1.6 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.8 mm, and 1.5 mm for RP1, RP2, RP3, and RP4, respectively. Deviation was over 3 mm in 24 patients. Movement of more than 3 mm was observed only in RP1 and RP3. In RP1, it was related to bite block use. Movement exceeding 3 mm was most frequently observed in RP3. Primary tumor and metastatic LN volume change were clinical factors related to the RP3 movement.Conclusion: Planning target volume margin of 4 mm for neck LN level I, 3 mm for neck LN level II, 5 mm for neck LN level III, and 3 mm for neck LN level IV was required to include all movements of each LN level. In patients using bite block, changes in primary tumor volume, and metastatic LN volume were related to significant movement.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Clinical echocardiography often reveals mitral annular calcification (MAC), and this condition has been connected to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk factors. To this day, our knowledge of the left ventricle’s (LV) physiology is still somewhat restricted. Using 2D speckle tracking echocardiography, we analyzed the connection between MAC and LV mechanical functions (2DSTE).
AIM: The purpose of the current investigation is to assess how left ventricular mechanics are impacted by MAC.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between April 2020 and October 2021, this prospective and cross-sectional study was carried out in Islamic  Center of Cardiology Al Azhar University and Cardiology Department of Al Hussien University Hospital. Eighty participants were utilized in the study. When necessary, patients were referred to the Cardiology Clinics at the Medical Schools of Al Azhar University for follow-up care. Sixty MAC patients were studied with 20 healthy controls of similar age and gender. All patients had a 2D echocardiogram. Sixty consecutive patients with a MAC diagnosis and 20 age- and sex-matched controls with normal cardiac evaluations made up the study population. The patients were all given a 2D echocardiogram.
RESULTS: The longitudinal strain significantly decreased as the MAC severity rose. The LV’s rotating mechanics varied greatly among MAC organizations. The E/A ratio, the global longitudinal speed (GLS), and the systolic tissue velocity were all shown to have a negative correlation with MAC thickness. Additional variables were found to have statistically significant connections. There were significant correlations between MAC severity and age, LV mass index, and t-LV UR. Age, LV mass index, and linear speed were significantly related to MAC severity.
CONCLUSION: The LV ability to contract systolically and diastolically is compromised when MAC is both present and severe. The LV ability to contract systolically and diastolically is likewise impacted by an increase in MAC severity.
At the Crossroads: We must Blend the CNS + NP Roles
Authors: Lynch Annette
Published: December 2023

On June 11, 1996, Governor George V. Voinovich signed Sub SB 154, The Advanced Practice Nursing Bill, into law. This event followed six legislative attempts in the past decade to grant legal authority for Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) in Ohio (Pearson, 1996). Title protection, scope of practice, collaboration/supervision arrangements with physicians, Board of Nursing regulation and education/certification requirements for nurse practitioners (NPs), nurse midwives (NMs), nurse anesthetists (NAs), and clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) have been tenaciously negotiated by nurses, physicians, hospitals, pharmacists, insurers and legislators. (Stir & Savino, 1996). However, the celebration of this monumental achievement may be overshadowed by an even greater controversy within the nursing profession -- to merge or not to merge the roles of the NP and the CNS. That is the question! The position taken in this paper is that we must merge the roles to create an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) role.
À qui profite l’écrit ? Enquête sur le premier libelle contre Marie-Antoinette
Authors: Cossarutto Vincent
Published: December 2023

À peine montée sur le trône, la jeune Marie-Antoinette est victime d’une brochure diffamatoire, Le Lever de l’aurore , qui marque vivement l’opinion. Généralement considéré comme le premier d’une liste qui ne cessera de s’allonger jusqu’à la Révolution, ce libelle demeure néanmoins enveloppé de mystères, au point que des contemporains doutent de son existence. Le scandale est suffisamment important pour alerter les autorités qui accusent vite le camp Maupeou, alors en passe de quitter Versailles. Toutefois, le jeu des rivalités ministérielles laisse également envisager une manœuvre de Maurepas contre le chancelier. En définitive, l’histoire du premier libelle contre Marie-Antoinette s’inscrit dans un écheveau d’intrigues politiques et révèle, à bien des égards, la force de la rumeur dans l’espace public.
Optimal investment of DC pension plan under a joint VaR-ES constraint
Authors: Dong Yinghui , Tang Chengjin , Hua Chunrong
Published: December 2023

In this paper, we investigated an optimal investment problem of a defined contribution (DC) pension plan under a joint Value-at-Risk (VaR) and an expected shortfall (ES) constraint. By using a martingale method, we transformed a dynamic optimization problem to a static pointwise optimization problem and derived the closed-form representations of the optimal wealth and portfolio processes in terms of the state price density. Numerical results showed that in comparison to only an ES constraint or a VaR constraint, the joint VaR-ES constraint can not only improve risk management for the bad economic states but also lower the volatility of the optimal terminal wealth.
Few-shot learning based on deep learning: A survey
Authors: Zeng Wu , Xiao Zheng-ying
Published: December 2023

In recent years, with the development of science and technology, powerful computing devices have been constantly developing. As an important foundation, deep learning (DL) technology has achieved many successes in multiple fields. In addition, the success of deep learning also relies on the support of large-scale datasets, which can provide models with a variety of images. The rich information in these images can help the model learn more about various categories of images, thereby improving the classification performance and generalization ability of the model. However, in real application scenarios, it may be difficult for most tasks to collect a large number of images or enough images for model training, which also restricts the performance of the trained model to a certain extent. Therefore, how to use limited samples to train the model with high performance becomes key. In order to improve this problem, the few-shot learning (FSL) strategy is proposed, which aims to obtain a model with strong performance through a small amount of data. Therefore, FSL can play its advantages in some real scene tasks where a large number of training data cannot be obtained. In this review, we will mainly introduce the FSL methods for image classification based on DL, which are mainly divided into four categories: methods based on data enhancement, metric learning, meta-learning and adding other tasks. First, we introduce some classic and advanced FSL methods in the order of categories. Second, we introduce some datasets that are often used to test the performance of FSL methods and the performance of some classical and advanced FSL methods on two common datasets. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and future prospects in this field.
