Authors: T Kalaiselvi , S Sasirekha , M Obath solomon , M Vignesh , M Manikandan
Published: February 2024

The current state of health detection in IoT sensors is affected by several limitations. Existing systems often struggle with inaccurate and unreliable readings, leading to potential misdiagnoses and patient discomfort. These systems also tend to lack adaptability and robustness when dealing with various modalities of data, hindering their overall effectiveness. Furthermore, the reliance on traditional algorithms in the absence of machine learning hampers their ability to provide precise and real-time heartbeat information. In light of these shortcomings, this work seeks to address these issues by studying the enhanced approach, emphasizing the integration of multimodal data fusion techniques and machine learning algorithms. The aim is to identify the drawbacks associated with existing systems and provide the more accurate and responsive solution for heath detection offered by IoT sensors through the application of data fusion and machine learning.

MULTIFACTOR MODEL FOR ASSESSING THE ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGIONAL ECONOMY
Authors:   Kirov State Medical University, Kirov, Russia, Karaulova Larisa V. , Karaulov Vasily M. ,   Vyatka State University, Kirov, Russia
Published: February 2024

One of the most important problems in the socio-economic development of regions is ensuring the proper quality of growth. As a rule, economic growth implies an increase in the intensity of resource consumption, which contributes to increased anthropogenic impact on the environment, deterioration of living conditions, threats to public health and a decrease in social security. Using the example of subjects of the Volga Federal District, the article examines the impact of economic growth on environmental factors, assessing, among other things, the relationship between the state of the environment and the incidence of disease in the population. Various approaches are used for cross-regional comparisons of environmental conditions. The index of environmental well-being, built on the basis of a three-factor model, is considered as the main characteristic. On the basis of this index, an index of environmental efficiency of the regional economy is formed, which is defined as the level of environmental well-being for a single output of the regional economy. The multifactor model showed that if environmental efficiency is maintained in a growing economy, then the level of environmental well-being will decline at a faster rate than the rate of economic growth. To maintain environmental well-being in conditions of economic growth, it is necessary that the average increase in environmental well-being for each factor is not lower than the rate of economic growth. For single-factor models, the relative increase in environmental efficiency actually corresponds to the decoupling index, but for multi-factor models this relationship weakens with economic growth, especially as the model dimension increases. In general, as the ecological efficiency of the economy increases, a positive decoupling effect is observed. A study of the Volga Federal District regions showed that the greatest environmental efficiency in recent years has been observed in the Republic of Mordovia and the Perm Territory. And in the Chuvash Republic and the Saratov region, environmental efficiency remains significantly below the base period of 2010-2014.

Published: February 2024

The purpose of the article is to study the customs marketing system and its impact on the development of state customs services provided by customs authorities. The work used standard and specific research methods: the method of induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis, systematization, generalization, economic and logical analysis. Based on the research, the conceptual apparatus used in the system of customs marketing and government customs services was presented, which allows not only to more accurately define key concepts and their relationships, but also helps to establish common standards, improve communication, develop management strategies, and improve professionalism specialists in this field. It is shown that today there is an increase in demand for government customs services, this is primarily due to an increase in the volume of trade and procurement operations among foreign economic activity entities, their need for appropriate warehouse facilities for storing goods under customs control, as well as in organizing professional support procedures for customs declaration of goods. The use of marketing tools in the customs sector is aimed at increasing the efficiency of the services provided, ensuring the satisfaction of business entities and constantly improving the quality of the service provided. In addition, marketing has the effect of better informing users about available services, which can increase their attractiveness and therefore demand. The prospect for further research is the selection and study of the most effective marketing tools to improve the mechanism for providing state customs services.

Authors: Degrieck Bertrand
Published: February 2024

Aux confins occidentaux du Bassin parisien et aux portes des basses vallées angevines, la renaturation s’est faite sur le ruisseau de Marcé à Marcé-et-Seiches sur le Loir dans le Maine-et-Loire et a été portée par le Syndicat mixte des basses vallées angevines et de la Romme (le SMBVAR). Le projet visait à restaurer 2,2 km de cours d’eau en tête de bassin versant par remise en fond de vallée, reméandrage et réhausse du fond du lit. Les travaux ont eu pour but de redonner un gabarit naturel au ruisseau, c’est-à-dire moins approfondi et plus étroit, ainsi qu’une sinuosité naturelle méandriforme. L’objectif était de rétablir les fonctionnalités du ruisseau et les habitats liés pour en améliorer la biodiversité. Les travaux ont permis de ralentir le cycle de l’eau pour améliorer la ressource en eau en qualité et en quantité. Plusieurs éléments ont dû être pris en compte pour assurer une efficacité maximale sur divers aspects du site et ainsi maximiser les cobénéfices : prévention des inondations, contexte agricole, usages de l’eau à proximité et plus éloignés du site, préservation d’une tourbière (puits de carbone et alimentation en eau), préservation d’habitats naturels et d’une espèce protégée (l’agrion de Mercure).
Structure and Boundaries of the Stages of the Civil Process
Authors:   Ural Branch, Russian State University of Justice, Chelyabinsk, Russia, Alekseev Andrej A.
Published: February 2024

To successfully defend your rights in court, you should clearly understand the content and legal nature of the actions necessary for this. At the same time, the theory of civil procedure has not yet formed a unified approach to solving the question of what a civil process is, what elements it consists of. Since the civil process is one of the types of legal activity, its primary element is the procedural action. Setting the goal of determining the structure of the civil process, it is necessary to determine not only the list of its constituent parts and their names, but also their spatial and temporal boundaries. It should be noted that individual procedural actions cannot exist separately from each other, and therefore, the procedural form not only determines the order of their commission, but also combines them into a certain system. At the same time, the analysis of works devoted to the application of the system method in jurisprudence allowed us to conclude that the civil process is a set of various elements that are in relationships and connections with each other, forming a certain integrity, unity. Thus, the primary element of the civil process is the procedural actions, which make up the stages and stages. At the same time, it is not necessary to consider the process itself as a chain of interconnected links going in order one after another. The civil process is rather a set of relatively isolated elements that can form various structural connections depending on the circumstances of a particular case. They can exist not only within certain stages or stages, but also beyond them.
Protection of the Rights of Individuals in the Securities Market: A Review of Judicial Practice
Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Moscow, Russia, Efimov Anatolij V.
Published: February 2024

The large-scale involvement of citizens in the functioning of the securities market is associated with a high investment risk. In connection with the emergence of disputable situations, citizens apply to the courts with various requirements, referring to the fact that they are consumers. At the same time, the courts are not always able to protect the rights of citizens since it is very problematic to prove the status of a consumer. This situation actualizes questions about the legal status of citizens in the securities market and the judicial protection of their rights. The purpose of the study is to assess the judicial practice in disputes related to the participation of citizens in the securities market. When writing this article, general scientific methods (system, functional, group of logical methods) and special legal methods (formal legal, legal modeling method) were applied. The article describes the main approaches to the qualification of legal relations with the participation of citizens in the securities market, developed in judicial practice and doctrine. At the same time, it is concluded that judicial practice is based on the position that citizens in the securities market are not consumers. This approach can be seen in disputes arising from brokerage service agreements, agreements with traders, agreements with forex dealers, and trust management agreements. However, it seems that the question of the legal status of a citizen should not be decided a priori, not only depending on the type of contract, but also on the number and frequency of transactions in the securities market, on the volume of investment, on the risks taken and on other characteristics of the actual activity of the citizen.

Bank pada dasarnya memberikan produk dan layanan yang sama, sehingga perlu adanya langkah lain yang diambil oleh bank guna dapat bersaing diantara bank lainnya. Salah satunya adalah langkah yang diambil oleh bank untuk calon debitur yang memiliki riwayat kolektibilitas di SLIK OJK. Dalam hal ini bank dituntut untuk memberikan alternatif kebijakan agar dapat mempertahankan calon debitur yang masih layak untuk melanjutkan proses pengajuan kredit, namun memiliki kendala pada SLIKnya. Tugas Akhir ini bertujuan untuk meninjau kebijakan persetujuan kredit melalui SLIK OJK, yang ada di Bank BTN kantor cabang Bogor. Kebijakan dibuat sebagai bahan pertimbangan mengenai keputusan persetujuan pemberian kredit yang akan diambil oleh Bank BTN, terhadap calon debitur yang memiliki riwayat kolektibilitas tidak baik, yang terdapat dalam data SLIK OJK. Tinjauan dilakukan di Bank BTN kantor cabang Bogor, yang merupakan bank Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) dengan bentuk perseroan terbatas yang memiliki fokus terhadap penyaluran dana dalam bentuk Kredit Pemilikan Rumah (KPR). Hasil Tinjauan menunjukan bahwa PT. Bank Tabungan Negara, telah menjalankan kebijakan persetujuan kredit terhadap calon debitur yang memiliki riwayat kolektibilitas pada SLIK OJK sesuai dengan prosedur yang berlaku. Kebijakan yang dijalankan oleh Bank BTN ini memberikan banyak dampak positif bagi keberlangsungan operasional bank, dimana kebijakan yang dijalankan ini membuat bank dapat memaksimalkan potensi kredit dan mempertahankan calon debitur yang masih layak untuk disetujui permohonan kreditnya. Selama kebijakan dijalankan oleh Bank BTN, tidak ada dampak negative yang timbul, namun demikian, terdapat risiko yang dapat muncul atas implementasi kebijakan persetujuan kredit ini, yaitu risiko penumpukan berkas dan risiko gagal bayar. Untuk menghindari risiko, bank BTN melakukan pemisahan berkas pengajuan kredit sesuai dengan proses yang telah dilakukan, serta memanfaatkan data calon debitur, untuk analisa proyeksi kegagalan kredit yang dapat terjadi di masa mendatang.

Published: February 2024

Laut Jawa merupakan wilayah yang penting bagi Indonesia karena sumber daya lautnya yang signifikan. Namun, wilayah ini juga menghadapi berbagai masalah lingkungan, termasuk polusi air. Konsentrasi klorofil-a biasanya digunakan sebagai parameter untuk menilai kualitas air. Klorofil-a merupakan pigmen utama pada fitoplankton, yang berperan penting dalam proses produksi primer di ekosistem perairan. Klorofil-a berfungsi sebagai indikator penting untuk mengukur produktivitas biologis di dalam air, yang secara langsung berdampak pada berbagai aspek kehidupan akuatik. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi distribusi klorofil-a di Laut Jawa adalah masukan nutrien dari sungai yang bermuara di Teluk Jakarta. Terdapat 13 sungai dari kota Jakarta yang bermuara di Teluk Jakarta dengan membawa nutrien, sedimen, dan mikroorganisme yang dapat memengaruhi ketersediaan dan distribusi klorofil-a di ekosistem perairan. Konsentrasi klorofil-a di Perairan Teluk jakarta termasuk dalam kategori tingkat kesuburan perairan rendah atau Meso-oligotropik dengan kandungan klorofil-a berkisar antara 2-5 mg/l pada Musim Peralihan 1, yaitu pada saat curah hujan paling tinggi selama rentang waktu penelitian. Hal ini diperkuat dengan korelasi antara sebaran klorofil-a dan curah hujan BMKG dengan nilai sebesar 0,7. Klasifikasi konsentrasi klorofil-a ini diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan untuk menentukan tingkat pencemaran. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik sebaran klorofil-a di Teluk Jakarta. Selain itu untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh cuaca terhadap distribusi klorofil-a. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan masukan bagi pengelolaan Teluk Jakarta, khususnya dalam upaya menjaga kualitas air di wilayah tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis korelasi linier Pearson untuk mengkaji kejadian atau hubungan tertentu antara dua variabel, yaitu curah hujan dan klorofil-a.

Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI) yang merupakan negara kepulauan memerlukan pertahanan laut yang kuat, dalam hal ini Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Laut (TNI AL), sebagai garda terdepan dalam mempertahankan kedaulatan wilayah laut Indonesia. Kehadiran pangkalan yang kuat sangat dibutuhkan dalam mendukung kecepatan reaksi dan kesiapsiagaan TNI AL dalam melaksanakan operasi. Pangkalan Saumlaki berada di sisi selatan Indonesia merupakan pintu terluar yang berbatasan langsung dengan negara Australia (Samudera Indian) perlu dikembangkan agar pengawasan terhadap segala ancaman dan pelanggaran yang datang segera dapat di atasi. Pengembangan suatu pangkalan laut tidak lepas dari faktor oseanografi fisik yang meliputi pola pasang surut, arus laut dan gelombang. Penelitian ini mencoba menganalisa karakteristik pasut, arus pasut, dan gelombang melalui pendekatan pemodelan numerik. Hasil simulasi pemodelan numerik selama satu tahun di area perairan Saumlaki didapatkan bahwa tunggang air akibat pasang surut di perairan Saumlaki sebesar 2,5 m dengan tipe pasang surut harian campuran condong ganda, kecepatan arus pasut maksimum 0.082 m/s dan ketinggian maksimum  gelombang signifikan sebesar 2,65 m

 

The Republic of Indonesia, as an archipelagic nation, need robust marine defense to safeguard its territorial integrity. In this regard, the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) serves as the foremost protector in upholding the sovereignty of Indonesia's maritime domain. The inclusion of a robust foundation is vital in facilitating the velocity of reaction and readiness of the Indonesian Navy in executing operational activities. The Saumlaki base, situated in the southern region of Indonesia, serves as the primary point of entry that immediately adjoins Australia via the Indian Ocean. It is imperative to enhance the existing system in order to promptly address and rectify any instances of threats and breaches through comprehensive monitoring. The establishment of a maritime facility is inherently intertwined with physical oceanographic elements, encompassing tide patterns, ocean currents, and waves. This study aims to examine the attributes of tides, tidal currents, and waves using a numerical modeling methodology. The findings from numerical modeling simulations conducted over a one-year period in the Saumlaki waters revealed that the tidal-induced water level increase in this region reached a magnitude of 2.5 meters. The tidal pattern seen was characterized as a mixed double skew daily tidal type. Additionally, the simulations indicated that the greatest speed of the tidal currents reached 0.082 meters per second, while the most significant wave height recorded was 2.65 meters.

Aim. The leading cause of early cardiovascular death worldwide is systemic hypertension (HTN). It is accountable for 57% of stroke and 24% of coronary heart disease deaths in India. Vitamin D indirectly regulates blood pressure through regulating the RAAS across clinical, pathophysiological, and molecular domains. This study examines Vitamin D deficiency in South Indian hypertensives. Materials and Methods. In this cross-sectional observational study, 500 routine health checkup patients at our clinic were assessed and enrolled. Demographics, symptoms, and lifestyle were collected using a standard questionnaire. Patients with chronic and newly diagnosed hypertension were included in the study. Blood was drawn to test Vitamin D (25-OH) levels. The data was evaluated to compare hypertensives who were already on medication and those who were newly diagnosed. Results. The population showed hypovitaminosis D, with an average Vitamin D level of 20.2 ± 10.3 ng/mL. A considerable number of newly diagnosed hypertensives had Vitamin D deficiency, with an average value of 17.7 ± 8.7 ng/mL. The observed value was significantly lower than the chronic hypertensive group (17.7 ± 8.7 ng/mL vs. 21.4 ±10.9, p <0.001). LDL, HDL, cholesterol, creatinine, and HbA1C levels were not signi­ficantly different across groups. Vitamin D levels were similar for outdoor and indoor workers (p = 0.727). Conclusion. Our study demonstrates there is a high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in the hypertensive South Indian population. There were substantially lower levels of Vitamin D identified in those who were newly diagnosed hypertensives compared to chronic hypertensives on treatment.

The superb image quality, stability, and sensitivity of JWST permit deconvolution techniques to be pursued with a fidelity unavailable to ground-based observations. We present an assessment of several deconvolution approaches to improve image quality and mitigate the effects of the complex JWST point-spread function (PSF). The optimal deconvolution method is determined by using WebbPSF to simulate JWST’s complex PSF and MIRISim to simulate multiband JWST/Mid-Infrared Imager Module (MIRIM) observations of a toy model of an active galactic nucleus (AGN). Five different deconvolution algorithms are tested: (1) Kraken deconvolution, (2) Richardson–Lucy, (3) the adaptive imaging deconvolution algorithm, (4) sparse regularization with the Condat–Vũ algorithm, and (5) iterative Wiener filtering and thresholding. We find that Kraken affords the greatest FWHM reduction of the nuclear source of our MIRISim observations for the toy AGN model while retaining good photometric integrity across all simulated wave bands. Applying Kraken to Galactic Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey (GATOS) multiband JWST/MIRIM observations of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5728, we find that the algorithm reduces the FWHM of the nuclear source by a factor of 1.6–2.2 across all five filters. Kraken images facilitate detection of extended nuclear emission ∼2.″5 (∼470 pc, position angle ≃ 115°) in the SE–NW direction, especially at the longest wavelengths. We demonstrate that Kraken is a powerful tool to enhance faint features otherwise hidden in the complex JWST PSF.

The red hypergiant VY CMa is famous for its very visible record of high-mass-loss events. Recent CO observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) revealed three previously unknown large-scale outflows (Singh et al). In this paper, we use the CO maps to investigate the motions of a cluster of four clumps close to the star, not visible in the optical or infrared images. We present their proper motions measured from two epochs of ALMA images and determine the line-of-sight velocities of the gas in emission at the clumps. We estimate their masses and ages, or time since ejection, and conclude that all four were ejected during VY CMa’s active period in the early 20th century. Together with two additional knots observed with the Hubble Space Telescope, VY CMa experienced at least six massive outflows during a 30 yr period, with a total mass lost ≥0.07 M
⊙. The position–velocity map of the 12CO emission reveals previously unnoticed attributes of the older outer ejecta. In a very narrow range of Doppler velocities, 12CO absorption and emission causes some of this outer material to be quite opaque. At those frequencies the inner structure is hidden and we see only emission from an extended outer region. This fact produces a conspicuous but illusory dark spot if one attempts to subtract the continuum in a normal way.
Two of a Kind: Comparing Big and Small Black Holes in Binaries with Gravitational Waves

Published: February 2024

When modeling the population of merging binary black holes, analyses have generally focused on characterizing the distribution of primary (i.e., more massive) black holes in the binary, while using simplistic prescriptions for the distribution of secondary masses. However, the secondary mass distribution and its relationship to the primary mass distribution provide a fundamental observational constraint on the formation history of coalescing binary black holes. If both black holes experience similar stellar evolutionary processes prior to collapse, as might be expected in dynamical formation channels, the primary and secondary mass distributions would show similar features. If they follow distinct evolutionary pathways (for example, due to binary interactions that break symmetry between the initially more massive and less massive stars), their mass distributions may differ. We present the first analysis of the binary black hole population that explicitly fits for the secondary mass distribution. We find that the data is consistent with a ∼30 M
⊙ peak existing only in the distribution of secondary rather than primary masses. This would have major implications for our understanding of the formation of these binaries. Alternatively, the data is consistent with the peak existing in both component mass distributions, a possibility not included in most previous studies. In either case, the peak is observed at

A Global Semianalytic Model of the First Stars and Galaxies Including Dark Matter Halo Merger Histories

Published: February 2024

We present a new self-consistent semianalytic model of the first stars and galaxies to explore the high-redshift (z ≥ 15) Population III (PopIII) and metal-enriched star formation histories. Our model includes the detailed merger history of dark matter halos generated with Monte Carlo merger trees. We calibrate the minimum halo mass for PopIII star formation from recent hydrodynamical cosmological simulations that simultaneously include the baryon–dark matter streaming velocity, Lyman–Werner (LW) feedback, and molecular hydrogen self-shielding. We find an overall increase in the resulting star formation rate density (SFRD) compared to calibrations based on previous simulations (e.g., the PopIII SFRD is over an order of magnitude higher at z = 35−15). We evaluate the effect of the halo-to-halo scatter in this critical mass and find that it increases the PopIII stellar mass density by a factor ∼1.5 at z ≥ 15. Additionally, we assess the impact of various semianalytic/analytic prescriptions for halo assembly and star formation previously adopted in the literature. For example, we find that models assuming smooth halo growth computed via abundance matching predict SFRDs similar to the merger tree model for our fiducial model parameters, but that they may underestimate the PopIII SFRD in cases of strong LW feedback. Finally, we simulate subvolumes of the Universe with our model both to quantify the reduction in total star formation in numerical simulations due to a lack of density fluctuations on spatial scales larger than the simulation box, and to determine spatial fluctuations in SFRD due to the diversity in halo abundances and merger histories.
The combined use of anti-peptic agents is associated with an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture: a nationwide case-control study

Published: February 2024

Background/Aims: Long-term use of acid suppressants such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine 2 receptor antagonist (H2RA) has been associated with the risk of osteoporotic fracture. Acid suppressants and muco-protective agents (MPAs) are often used together as anti-ulcer agents. We evaluated the association between the risk of osteoporotic fracture and the combined use of these anti-peptic agents.Methods: A population-based case-control study was conducted by analyzing the Korean National Health Insurance Data from 2014 to 2020. Patients who had been prescribed anti-peptic agents, such as PPI, H2RA, or MPA, were included. Considering the incidence of osteoporotic fractures, the case group (n = 14,704) and control group (n = 58,816) were classified by 1:4 matching based on age and sex.Results: The use of all types of anti-peptic agents was associated with an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures (PPI: hazard osteoratio [HR], 1.31; H2RA: HR, 1.44; and MPA: HR, 1.33; all p < 0.001). Compared to PPI alone, the combined use of “PPI and H2RA” (HR, 1.58; p = 0.010) as well as “PPI, H2RA, and MPA” (HR, 1.71; p = 0.001) was associated with an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. However, compared with PPI alone, “MPA and PPI or H2RA” was not associated with an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture.Conclusions: This study found that the combined use of “PPI and H2RA” was associated with a higher risk of osteoporotic fractures. In cases where deemed necessary, the physicians may initially consider prescribing the combination use of MPA.
Du côté du capital culturel dans l’enseignement supérieur

Published: February 2024

Cet article s’intéresse aux conditions de vie des étudiant·e·s selon leur origine sociale, en identifiant plus précisément les enfants d’enseignant·e·s, dont le parcours académique dans le secondaire est souvent particulièrement réussi et qui ont profité d’un accompagnement parental efficace. À l’aide des données de l’enquête Conditions de vie des étudiants (OVE) 2020 et en se focalisant sur plusieurs fractions des classes supérieures et moyennes, cet article montre comment les études et leurs « à-côtés » (usages du temps, loisirs, ressources économiques), loin de ne faire que reproduire des inégalités existantes, contribuent à les renforcer, plaçant les enfants d’enseignant·e·s à distance des étudiant·e·s issu·e·s des classes moyennes mais aussi des classes supérieures les plus favorisées.
Le Temple et le cantique de Syméon en Luc 2,29-32 : analyse d’une substitution opérée par l’auteur du troisième évangile
Authors: Bassilua Anicet
Published: February 2024

Comment comprendre l’insertion du cantique de Syméon dans les deux premiers chapitres de l’Évangile de Luc ? Cette contribution examine la stratégie littéraire de l’auteur du troisième évangile à travers la place qu’il accorde au Nunc Dimittis dans le récit de l’enfance de Jésus. En s’appuyant sur les données des livres de l’Ancien Testament (Ézéchiel, Baruch, Aggée et Siracide), l’enquête philologique qui y est menée tente de cerner la signification que Luc donne au cantique en étudiant le lien entre les paroles de l’hymne, le personnage qui les prononce et le lieu où elles sont prononcées, le Temple.
The scientific approach of Religious Studies
Authors: Van Reeth Jan M. F.
Published: February 2024

Religious studies originated and developed alongside the other sciences, becoming gradually independent from theology, as a result of the Enlightenment. Explaining historical facts without judgment of truth or veracity, scholars have to adopt a methodic, sceptic attitude, comparing only in order to fill gaps in our historical sources.
Cosmologie et expérience mystique selon Muhammad Iqbal
Authors: Zincq Aurélien
Published: February 2024

Cet article étudie le statut et le rôle du discours philosophique dans la pensée religieuse de Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938). Premièrement, il s’agit de montrer que la conceptualité philosophique constitue une médiation entre la révélation divine et les phénomènes naturels. Cette médiation entre les signes coraniques et les signes naturels peut être considérée, au sens figuré, comme un travail de traduction afin de mieux cerner la Réalité divine, dont ces deux ordres sémantiques procèdent l’un et l’autre. Deuxièmement, on verra que la pensée philosophique a également pour tâche d’ouvrir à la Réalité divine à travers l’expérience mystique. Cette Réalité est définie comme un « flux créateur ». Pour Iqbal, la médiation entre les signes coraniques et les signes naturels s’accomplit dans l’assomption de cette créativité permanente qui irrigue l’univers. Toutefois, c’est pour cette raison qu’elle est préparée par le travail de traduction que l’expérience mystique atteint cette dimension cosmologique.
