Authors: Meng Xianqing , Sun Haiyan , Zhang Feihu , Jiang Yuehua , Li Kejian , Ma Zhen , Wu Di , Xue Yitao , Hao Hao
Published: October 2022

Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino is a Chinese herb known to alleviate hyperlipidemia and obesity. In the present study, the effect and the mechanism of the effect of gypenoside IX, a bioactive constituent of G. pentaphyllum on the obesity-related hypertension in rats has been explored. The rats were fed a high fat diet to induce obesity leading to hypertension. Treatment of these hypertensive rats with gypenoside IX resulted in decreased systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body weight, and alleviation of pathological manifestations in myocardium and aorta. Furthermore, gypenoside IX antagonized the high fat diet-induced relative increase in the expressions of angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensin II receptor type 1 and 2 proteins, and the B-type natriuretic peptide and atrial natriuretic peptide messenger RNAs. However, the concentrations of angiotensin II, adrenaline, and norepinephrine increased, whereas that of cyclic guanosine monophosphate decreased. The levels of malondialdehyde increased and that of reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase decreased in high fat diet rats that were reversed by the gypenoside IX treatment. There was a significant increase in the relative protein levels for phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase, phospho-c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase/c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase, and p-p38/p-38 that was ameliorated by gypenoside IX. In conclusion, gypenoside IX inhibits the renin–angiotensin system activation and oxidative stress through the inactivation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in obesity-mediated hypertension in rats.

Authors: Dong Yu , Shen Xiaoran , Zhang Yifeng
Published: October 2022

To evaluate the efficacy of probiotics combined with quadruple therapy in treating Helicobacter pylori infection, 240 elderly H. pylori-infected patients were recruited and divided equally into control and treatment groups. The control group received quadruple therapy (rabeprazole sodium + colloidal bismuth pectin dry suspension + amoxicillin + clarithromycin), and the treatment group was given additional bifid-triple viable (probiotics composed of Enterococcus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium) capsules orally. The gastric function, inflammatory cytokine levels, gastric mucosa histopathological change scores, clinical symptom scores, clinical efficacy, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Total curative effect rate was higher in the treatment group than the control group. The symptom scores of acid reflux and belching, nausea and vomiting, and epigastric pain were also lower in the treatment group than the control group. Also, the incidence of adverse reactions was lower in the treatment group (20.00%) than the control group (36.67%). Furthermore, the treatment group had higher decrease in gastric mucosa histopathological change scores, gastrin and motilin levels, and interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor levels than the control group. In conclusion, probiotics combined with quadruple therapy can suppress release of serum inflammatory cytokines, facilitate digestive function improvement and mucosal healing, elevate H. pylori eradication rate, and reduce therapy-related adverse reactions in H. pylori-infected patients.

A lo largo de las últimas décadas se ha apreciado una participación importante de mujeres en la catequesis de las diferentes comunidades a nivel mundial y, muy particularmente, en las diócesis españolas. La autora se preocupa por realizar un acercamiento a esta realidad desde la perspectiva que ofrece el nuevo Directorio para la Catequesis en sus números 127, 128 y 129, así como la importancia que tiene la institución del ministerio del catequista para la participación activa y visible de la mujer en la Iglesia, desde la perspectiva que arroja el curso de formación base sobre el ministerio instituido, ofrecido por la Delegación de Catequesis de Santiago de Compostela.
Noción y fundamento teológico-pastoral de una Iglesia sinodal
Authors: García Maestro Juan Pablo
Published: October 2022

El impulso para llevar a cabo una pertinente figura sinodal de la Iglesia, requiere principios teológicos claros y orientaciones pastorales incisivas. Uno de los principios teológicos para comprender la Sinodalidad es retomar la categoría “Iglesia Pueblo de Dios”, pero con una sana armonía con la eclesiología de comunión. Pero si el fundamento teológico de la Sinodalidad es muy importante, también lo es sus orientaciones pastorales. Porque hablar y reflexionar sobre la Sinodalidad es fácil, lo más difícil es practicarla. La Sinodalidad no se limita a estar juntos, sino buscar caminar juntos. Implica pagar un precio por nuestra libertad, haciéndonos esclavos por los otros. La Sinodalidad ha de ser escándalo y locura, como la Cruz. Pero si san Pablo decía que el Salvador que anunciamos los cristianos es igualmente “locura y escándalo”, no dejaba de añadir que es también sabiduría y fuerza de Dios (1 Cor 1, 18). El papa Francisco ha convertido la Sinodalidad como la palabra primera y fundamental de la vida eclesial. Para que esta palabra no se convierta en una moda urge una verdadera conversión sinodal y también una mística sinodal.
With or without Parents? Language Learning in Early Childhood (Age of 4–6 Years)
Authors:   University of Sopron, Csiha Tünde Noémi
Published: October 2022

“Children tend to enjoy learning and to do better when they are more intrinsically rather than extrinsically motivated to achieve.” (APA 2019) To find out how the presence of parents affects the progress of children in foreign language learning classes was launched a small sample of field research with the participation of two groups of 4–6-year-old children. In the case of the first group, only children; in the case of the second group, their parents also were present in their children’s language lessons. During the research, the learning process of the two groups, the behaviour and motivation of group members to participate in various activities was observed and measured the increase in knowledge of the two groups. Both groups had the possibility of acquiring the same vocabulary during the same period (one school year), the same activities and using the same methods. Nonetheless, it showed a significant difference of 15.6 % between the results favoring those who attended the course without their parents.
Identifying Professional Activities for Healthcare Specialists’ Interactional Competence Enhancement in English
Authors:   Red Cross Medical College of Riga Stradins University, Pašinska Olga
Published: October 2022

The enhancement of Interactional Competence (IC) in English is a topical issue in the sphere of Public Health in many European countries, including Latvia, due to worldwide globalisation. IC competence of healthcare specialists is expected to be developed so that they can communicate with foreign patients requiring medical assistance in English. This is the awareness of the situations in which the English language is required most often that determines the effectiveness of medical practitioners’ IC enhancement. Therefore, the article aims to elucidate the most widespread professional oral activities healthcare specialists, such as nurses and physician assistants, are presumed to perform in English providing foreign patients with medical care or treatment. In order to reach the aim, a case study, including such data collection tool as a questionnaire, was used as a research method. The results of the research revealed that nurses and physician assistants most often encounter the situations when they need to obtain and provide data concerning a patient and his/her health condition as well as give a patient information about his/her further care or treatment in English.
A regularização fundiária urbana de interesse social segundo a Lei 13.465 de 2017 e a (im)possibilidade de existência de uma cidade sustentável
Authors: Machado Everson Vieira
Published: October 2022

Os grandes centros urbanos não se sustentam mais com seus espaços limitados. O crescimento das cidades sem um plano ordenado e planejado, aliado à falta de fiscalização do Poder Público aumentam os danos ao meio ambiente e ao bem estar das pessoas que nas cidades vivem e por elas circulam. Políticas Públicas foram editadas visando regularizar a situação de milhares de famílias que se aglomeram em lugares de difícil acesso, ou que tiveram suas casas construídas sobre lugares irregulares do ponto de vista do planejamento urbanístico. Porém, somente um desenvolvimento aliado a programas sustentáveis nessas cidades é que possibilitará uma moradia condizente com o respeito e preservação ao meio ambiente para as atuais e futuras gerações.
Soberania à Luz do Fenômeno da Transnacionalidade: uma análise do processo de desterritorialização e da fragilização do estado
Authors: Ribas Marinho Claudia
Published: October 2022

O conceito de Soberania se formou na Modernidade consolidando-se como uma exteriorização do Poder Estatal dentro do seu Território. A complexidade que se apresentou com a Transnacionalidade e o processo de Desterritorialização revelou uma vulnerabilidade da Soberania, e por consequência do Estado, e impôs uma necessidade de repensar sobre as novas configurações do Poder Estatal, e a utilização do território como elemento essência do Estado. Contudo, esse processo não pode afastar e enfraquecer o Estado Socioambiental como responsável por assegurar direitos sociais aos cidadãos, seja através de investimentos e/ou prestação direta, a garantia a um meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado.

Rytířské turnaje a klání ve středověké a raně novověké Praze a jejich obraz ve sbírkách pražských muzeí
Authors: Snellgrove Karolína
Published: October 2022

Knightly games were a type of physical activity typical for the Middle Ages and early modern period, although they were taking place to a lesser extent and in various modifications also in the 18th and 19th centuries. With a few exceptions, the organizers were rulers and nobility, so we include them in aristocratic physical activities. The general term „knightly tournament“ covers several types of activities, namely the classic tournament (melee), joust, buhurt and duel on foot. The text will focus on the topic of historical places in Prague where these types of tournaments took place, and on their chronology with a broader overlap into the history of the phenomenon. A separate chapter will discuss the nature of tournament architecture. The work is also intended as a starting point for further study of the early history of sport facilities in Prague.

ENHANCING THE EFFICIENCY OF COMMUNICATION PROGRAMS FOR STUDENT ENROLLMENT AT UNIVERSITIES THROUGH RECIPIENT FEEDBACK (SURVEY OF STUDENTS AT DALAT UNIVERSITY IN 2021)
Authors: La Thuy Linh , Le Phong Le
Published: October 2022

Researching recipient feedback is one of the important actions to enhance the quality of the communication process. This study was conducted to provide some solutions to improve the effectiveness of Dalat University’s enrollment communication process by analyzing student feedback. A survey was conducted in 2021 with a sample of 655 students from Dalat University. The results showed that students mainly knew about Dalat University through word of mouth and the Facebook channel, and that tuition fees, the benchmark, and geographical location were the main reasons students chose the university. In addition, most students showed an interest in receiving content in the form of short videos. The research results can be applied by the communication department of Dalat University and can contribute to the field of university communication research, which has not received much attention in Vietnam.
Laws beyond Relativity. Command or Fairness?
Authors: Lánczi András
Published: October 2022

For most of us today a law means a rule that is enacted by some legislature. If the law proves to be a flaw, then a new law would replace it. Earlier a law was a command which could not have been replaced by another law at will. In this we can detect the difference between the ancient and the modern understanding of law and law-making. The explanation must be sought by pointing out the relativity of law in our modern conception of law compared to ancient perception of how a law must be treated once framed – it has the force of a command. In what follows the three aspects of law – the divine, natural and positive laws – will be discussed with the assumption that the dominant idea of law today is based on the conception of the relativity of law which fits most the newly emerging third concept of nature that tends to suit modern man’s need to oust both religion and philosophy. This third meaning of nature is best expressed by the concept of virtual reality. It is a covering term for all the arts of modern man that he has been creating by modern sciences and technological developments. Thus the state of religion (divine law) and the state of nature (natural law) are to be understood by exploring the state of modern politics which provides the actual conditions of modern virtual reality, and presupposes the dominance of the relativity of laws.

Katecheza w szkołach publicznych w wybranych państwach Rady Europy. Próba wypracowania zasad
Authors: Rakoczy Tomasz
Published: October 2022

Obecność katechezy w szkołach publicznych partycypuje w wolności sumienia i wyznania. Prezentowane opracowanie wylicza szereg zasad prawnych, na których opiera się obecność katechezy w szkole publicznej. Należą do nich: uznanie prawa rodziców do poszanowania ich przekonań religijnych i filozoficznych; ochrona pluralizmu w nauce; zapewnienie otwartego środowiska szkolnego; odrzucenie indoktrynacji w funkcjonowaniu szkoły; przekazywanie wiedzy w sposób obiektywny, krytyczny i pluralistyczny. Obecność katechezy można rozpatrywać także jako wynik korelacji zasad ustrojowych współczesnych państw demokratycznych. Należą do nich: świeckość, neutralność światopoglądowa, uznanie roli rodziców jako pierwszych wychowawców, współpraca państwa z Kościołami i związkami wyznaniowymi. W szczególności świeckość państwa nie wyklucza obecności sfery światopoglądowej ze sfery publicznej, w tym katechezy ze szkół publicznych. Realizacja wskazanych zasad rodzi szereg problemów w praktyce.

The drums of war are beating louder: Media coverage of brown bears in Romania
Authors: Neagu Andra Claudia , Manolache Steluta , Rozylowicz Laurentiu
Published: October 2022

The increasing demand for resources to meet the needs of our society has transformed the environment and increased the likelihood of human-wildlife interactions. Romania has the highest density of brown bears in Europe, with more than 7000 individuals populating the Carpathian Mountains and neighboring areas. The large brown bear population in Romania inhabits ever-increasing human-dominated landscapes, which frequently results in conflict with humans. The means and frequency by which the media communicates information to the readership influence the public perception of human-wildlife conflicts. This research is intended to contribute to the existing knowledge on human-brown bear coexistence in Romania by (1) exploring how the Romanian media depicts human-brown bear interactions in terms of the main themes discussed, framing of issues (emotions and key messages), and likely impacts on public perception; (2) analyzing the changes in reporting on human brown-bear interactions following the transition of the legal status of the brown bear from game to strictly protected species; and (3) investigating suggested policy and management solutions. The results indicate that news stories related to brown bears became common in Romanian mass media after 2016, when a provisional one-year ban on culling was instated, after which it increased abruptly in 2021, following the whistleblowing of an alleged trophy hunting event. The focus on human-bear interaction and hunting/poaching themes has not changed; however, the position of the media toward brown bears has become increasingly negative, even when presenting news stories covering human-bear interactions that incur no harm. To facilitate human-brown bear coexistence in Romania, scientists and practitioners should communicate with media representatives and provide a supplementary context for news stories. Evidence-informed news can help authorities better understand conflicts and create bottom-up pathways toward an optimistic future for brown bears and Romanian society.

Published: October 2022

Hydrangea marunoi Tagane & S. Fujii, from the Kimotsuki Mountains in the Ohsumi Peninsula, southern Japan, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to H. alternifolia in having three-petaloid calyx lobes in marginal flowers, but is distinguished by the larger stamen number, and longer styles and seeds. Multiplex ISSR genotyping by sequencing (MIG-seq) demonstrated that the new species is monophyletic and closely related to H. amamiohsimensis and H. moellendorffii rather than H. alternifolia.

Minimizing radiation exposure in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: a review for medical personnel
Authors: Oh Chi Hyuk , Son Byoung Kwan
Published: October 2022

Fluoroscopy is used frequently during endoscopic procedures, such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). However, exposure to radiation is an important health concern, primarily because of the potential increase in the lifetime risk of malignancy. This consideration is important for patients and staff exposed to radiation during ERCP. Thus, an understanding of how radiation doses are measured during ERCP and the potential risks of this radiation is important. Additionally, staff must be educated about methods used to minimize the radiation dose, such as the use of different imaging techniques, the general principles of fluoroscopy, and advances in hardware and software. The use of personal protective equipment is also essential to minimize occupational exposure. However, no comprehensive ERCP guideline on the use of X-ray systems in clinical settings or on radiation protection for operators has been established. This review focuses on the properties of fluoroscopy systems and methods of radiation protection for physicians and assistants participating in ERCP.
Comparison of the rapidity of SARS-CoV-2 immune responses between primary and booster vaccination for COVID-19
Authors: Kim Ji Yeun , Kwon Ji-Soo , Cha Hye Hee , Lim So Yun , Bae Seongman , Kim Sung-Han
Published: October 2022

Background/Aims: The rapidity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific memory B or T cell response in vaccinated individuals is important for our understanding of immunopathogenesis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We therefore compared the timing of adequate immune responses between the first and booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines in infection-naïve healthcare workers.Methods: We enrolled healthcare workers who received two doses of either the BNT162b2 vaccine or the ChAdOx1 vaccine, all of whom received the BNT162b2 vaccine as the booster (the third) dose. Spike 1 (S1)-immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and interferon gamma producing T cell responses were measured at 0, 7, 14, and 21 days after the first dose, and at 0 and between 2 to 7 days after the booster dose.Results: After the first-dose vaccination, the S1-IgG antibody responses were elicited within 14 days in the BNT162b2 group and within 21 days in the ChAdOx1 group. After the booster dose, the S1-IgG antibody responses were elicited within 5 days in both groups. The SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses appeared at 7 days after the first dose and at 4 days after the booster dose.Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses by memory B cells and T cells may be expected to appear around 4 to 5 days after the booster dose.
L’hystérie et la corde de l’inconscient
Authors: Nominé Bernard
Published: October 2022

Partant d’une suggestion de Lacan qui considérait que l’hystérie répond à une géométrie de sacs et de cordes, ce texte explore les résonances de l’hystérie sous l’angle du nouage borroméen. La corde de l’inconscient vibre, comme toute corde, avec un ventre et des nœuds. On peut donc situer ces ventres et ces nœuds de jouissance dans la chaîne borroméenne et comprendre, selon ce principe, comment se noue le symptôme hystérique et l’effet de l’interprétation analytique.
De quoi guérit l’hystérique ?
Authors: Izcovich Luis
Published: October 2022

Ce texte aborde une question centrale laissée en impasse par Freud concernant la fin d’analyse de l’hystérie. Qu’est-ce qu’un sujet hystérique peut espérer d’une cure analytique menée jusqu’à son terme ? Qu’est-ce qui change par rapport au fantasme, au symptôme et fondamentalement concernant le rapport au désir ? Les réponses à ces questions prennent appui sur notre actualité clinique et mettent en évidence qu’il est possible d’aller avec Lacan, au-delà de Freud.
Renseigner autrement ? Trajectoires de l’Osint dans les services de renseignement
Authors: Renault Clément , Charon Paul , Laurençon Fabien
Published: October 2022

Le développement des capacités d’investigation en sources ouvertes a contribué à populariser ce qui constitue historiquement un capteur spécifique des services de renseignement, l’ open source intelligence (Osint). Le renseignement d’origine source ouverte (Roso) constitue en effet un moyen de collecte essentiel au processus d’exploitation et d’analyse du renseignement, au côté du renseignement électromagnétique (Roem ou signals intelligence – Sigint) ou encore du renseignement d’origine image (Roim ou imagery intelligence – Imint). L’âge de l’information engendre une démocratisation des capacités de recherche, de recueil et d’exploitation de données auparavant uniquement accessibles aux services de sécurité et de renseignement. Les capacités désormais offertes par l’Osint contribuent ainsi à alimenter un important débat sur la valeur ajoutée des services de renseignement. Cet article vise à contribuer à ce débat en mettant en perspective la fonction que ces derniers assignent aux sources ouvertes, historiquement et à la faveur des évolutions contemporaines, dans la poursuite de leurs objectifs analytiques et opérationnels

Appréciées pour leur efficacité en matière de détection, vérification et évaluation des informations accessibles, en ligne notamment, elles entraînent, néanmoins, une reconfiguration des modes d’accès et de représentation des faits étudiés. Cet article s’intéresse aux changements qui s’opèrent au niveau des composantes spatiales et temporelles de l’évènement à partir du moment où il est saisi par des techniques spécifiques d’enquête sur des ressources ouvertes.
Enseignement à distance dans une école de management hôtelier : conséquences sur les étudiants et ressources pour y faire face
Authors: de Boer Charlotte , Delobbe Nathalie
Published: October 2022

Lors d’une recherche sur la socialisation organisationnelle des étudiants en première année d’une école suisse de management hôtelier, nous avons comparé deux cohortes, l’une débutant en présentiel, l’autre largement à distance en raison de la pandémie de covid-19. La comparaison montre les effets délétères de l’enseignement à distance sur la satisfaction, l’épuisement et l’intention de poursuivre ses études ; contre toute attente, l’implication affective et l’identification à l’égard de l’école ne sont pas altérées par ce fonctionnement. L’étude de la seconde cohorte nous a permis d’examiner les ressources individuelles et situationnelles permettant de contrer les risques de l’enseignement à distance. Il ressort que les comportements autorégulés d’apprentissage et les comportements proactifs de socialisation, ainsi que le climat de sécurité psychologique dans l’équipe et l’identification à l’équipe, limitent ces conséquences négatives. À partir de ces résultats, nous identifions des pistes d’action pour nourrir des pratiques d’enseignement à distance salutaires pour les étudiants.
Quelques conséquences de la pandémie de covid-19 sur la méthodologie de recherche qualitative en sciences de l’éducation
Authors: Napoli Julia
Published: October 2022

L’expérience de la pandémie de covid-19 et de ses conséquences sur notre vie professionnelle a bouleversé nos méthodes de travail, notamment sous l’injonction du « distanciel ». Les recherches qualitatives en sciences sociales, qui s’appuient par exemple sur des entretiens et donc, traditionnellement, sur des rencontres en présence en ont été les premières affectées. Si, dans ces recherches, l’entretien qualitatif en présence semble la règle, l’entretien à distance peut, dans certains cas, permettre l’aboutissement d’une recherche lorsque celle-ci fait face à des difficultés exogènes. Cet article a pour vocation de questionner l’impact d’une situation particulière (la pandémie de covid-19) sur une pratique relativement cadrée et rôdée des sciences sociales (l’entretien semi-directif) et de partager une expérience de recherche singulière ou du moins circonstancielle.
Quelques pistes pour concilier des objectifs sociaux, économiques et écologiques
Authors: Baratgin Laure , Combet Emmanuel
Published: October 2022

Un tour d’horizon de la littérature sur la valorisation du carbone met en lumière les difficultés à concilier des objectifs écologiques, économiques, sociaux et politiques. Ces difficultés, inhérentes au renforcement de la politique climatique, expliquent en grande partie les échecs répétés de la fiscalité carbone en France. Nous dégageons de cette littérature trois enjeux prioritaires pour fonder une politique de conciliation. Il s’agit, premièrement, de traiter de l’évolution globale des finances publiques ; deuxièmement, de négocier un système d’accompagnement transitoire des ménages et des entreprises les plus vulnérables à court terme ; enfin, pour l’adhésion et l’engagement, d’inscrire l’ensemble de ces réflexions au sein de discussions collectives, qui associent l’ensemble des parties prenantes à la co-construction d’un contrat social de transition écologique.
L’évaluation au service de l’action pour le climat
Authors: Quinet Alain
Published: October 2022

Le cadre d’évaluation des investissements publics et des politiques a été élaboré bien avant que la lutte contre le changement climatique ne devienne un enjeu de premier rang. L’objet de cet article est de montrer qu’à travers notamment la baisse du taux d’actualisation, l’allongement de l’horizon des scénarios et la hausse de la valeur du carbone, l’évaluation est capable aujourd’hui de bien prendre en compte les impacts climat des projets. Corrélativement, les enjeux redistributifs de la lutte contre le changement climatique sont de mieux en mieux appréhendés. Bien évaluer en amont les effets environnementaux, économiques et sociaux des différentes actions envisagées, c’est augmenter les chances de bien les hiérarchiser et de les déployer dans le bon ordre, en assumant les incertitudes inévitables sur la disponibilité et les coûts des technologies de décarbonation. Au total, l’évaluation n’est pas la stratégie mais elle propose des outils pour atteindre les objectifs stratégiques que l’on se fixe au moindre coût économique et social.

Les politiques d’infrastructures constituent un levier essentiel pour les efforts de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et d’adaptation des territoires aux conséquences du réchauffement climatique. Dans la perspective de la transition environnementale en France, des investissements significatifs devront être réalisés dans les années à venir pour transformer, rénover et maintenir les infrastructures, entraînant d’importantes évolutions socio-économiques à l’échelle du pays. Le présent article donne les montants d’investissements additionnels en infrastructures nécessaires à l’atteinte des objectifs de la Stratégie Nationale Bas Carbone et de la Programmation Pluriannuelle de l’Énergie, selon deux scénarios distincts (« Pro-techno » et « Sobriété ») avant d’en analyser les conséquences macro-économiques et sectorielles. Les résultats mettent en évidence une hausse significative du PIB (de 1 à 1,2 %) et du nombre d’emplois (entre 300 000 et 400 000 emplois supplémentaires) durant la première décennie (2021-2030) dans les deux scénarios ; les bénéfices se répartissant entre différents secteurs d’activité, au premier rang desquels les travaux publics et les services. Après 2030, les impacts économiques sont moins marqués dans le scénario Sobriété, du fait d’investissements plus réduits dans les secteurs routiers, ferroviaires, et l’aménagement de sites, mais restent positifs aussi bien sur l’activité que sur l’emploi. L’analyse effectuée met en évidence la sensibilité des résultats à des hypothèses complémentaires associées à ces scénarios, en particulier la baisse des importations d’énergie de la France.
Dynamical behavior of a coupling SEIR epidemic model with transmission in body and vitro, incubation and environmental effects
Authors: Aili Abulajiang , Teng Zhidong , Zhang Long
Published: October 2022

In this paper, a coupling SEIR epidemic model is proposed to characterize the interaction of virus spread in the body of hosts and between hosts with environmentally-driven infection, humoral immunity and incubation of disease. The threshold criteria on the local (or global) stability of feasible equilibria with or without antibody response are established. The basic reproduction number $ R_{b0} $ is obtained for the SEIR model without an antibody response, by which we find that the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable if $ R_{b0} < 1 $. Two endemic equilibria exist if $ R_{b0} < 1 $, in which one is locally asymptotically stable under some additional conditions but the other is unstable, which means there is backward bifurcation. In addition, the uniform persistence of this model is discussed. For the SEIR model with an antibody response, the basic reproduction number $ R_{0} $ is calculated, from which the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if $ R_0\leq1 $, and the unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if $ R_0 > 1 $. Antibody immunity in the host plays a great role in the control of disease transmission, especially when the diseases between the hosts are entirely extinct once antibody cells in the host reach a proper level. Finally, the main conclusions are illustrated by some special examples and numerical simulations.
THAT UNRELENTING 80 %
Authors: Verbeek E G D
Published: October 2022

80 % Human Error is an often used statistic in, among others, safety programs, publications, support for autonomous ships and even in the brochure for this conference.
By applying the concept “percentage Human Error” on various hypothetical scenarios this paper tries to discover the meaning, or lack thereof, of this indicator. It finds that mature systems are bound to have a high percentage Human Error and that automation will not reduce this percentage. It proposes to avoid use of the indicator “Human Error”, and to
decide on more meaningful indicators.
Monetary Policy, Redistribution, and Risk Premia
Authors: Kekre Rohan , Lenel Moritz
Published: October 2022

We study the transmission of monetary policy through risk premia in a heterogeneous agent New Keynesian environment. Heterogeneity in households' marginal propensity to take risk (MPR) summarizes differences in portfolio choice on the margin. An unexpected reduction in the nominal interest rate redistributes to households with high MPRs, lowering risk premia and amplifying the stimulus to the real economy. Quantitatively, this mechanism rationalizes the role of news about future excess returns in driving the stock market response to monetary policy shocks and amplifies their real effects by 1.3–1.4 times.
Rules and Commitment in Communication: An Experimental Analysis
Authors: Fréchette Guillaume R. , Lizzeri Alessandro , Perego Jacopo
Published: October 2022

We study the role of commitment in communication and its interactions with rules, which determine whether information is verifiable. Our framework nests models of cheap talk, information disclosure, and Bayesian persuasion. It predicts that commitment has opposite effects on information transmission under the two alternative rules. We leverage these contrasting forces to experimentally establish that subjects react to commitment in line with the main qualitative implications of the theory. Quantitatively, not all subjects behave as predicted. We show that a form of commitment blindness leads some senders to overcommunicate when information is verifiable and undercommunicate when it is not. This generates an unpredicted gap in information transmission across the two rules, suggesting a novel role for verifiable information in practice.
Capitais ibéricas da resistência antiditatorial e anticolonialista: redes e cumplicidades no mundo da edição nos anos 1960-70
Authors: Melo Daniel Jorge Seixas de
Published: October 2022

Ce texte traite de l’échange résultant de l’intervention d’éditeurs et de libraires qui, soutenus par des réseaux tissés à partir de leurs organisations basées dans les capitales ibériques, ont marqué la résistance politico-culturelle et civique à l’intérieur des murs et en exil contre les dictatures Ibériques, les impérialismes et le colonialisme tardif (années 60-70). Lisbonne et Madrid seront étudiées du point de vue des liens établis avec d’autres villes ayant des affinités spécifiques avec ce militantisme et avec des traditions dans l’échange culturel et la circulation de livres, comme Barcelone, Paris, Porto, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo et Mexico. L’analyse se concentrera sur certains réseaux et institutions qui représentent cet échange et cette résistance. Il s’agit d’un essai exploratoire basé sur l’approfondissement d’études antérieures, sur l’analyse et la problématisation d’une bibliographie récente et de référence et sur des recherches inédites dans des archives publiques et privées.

Notre travail se concentre sur trois de ses productions iconographiques réalisées durant les années 1890, lorsqu’Utrillo est clairement identifié au mouvement artistique du Symbolisme.
« J’ai peur d’écrire, et pourtant… je ne peux pas m’arrêter d’écrire » : l’engagement intersectionnel de Carmelina Sánchez-Cutillas
Authors: Lacueva Lorenz Maria
Published: October 2022

Les obstacles et difficultés que les auteurs de langue catalane ont rencontrés sous le franquisme sont bien connus, mais les conditionnements spécifiques que les écrivaines ont dû supporter sous un régime clairement sexiste et impérialiste n’ont pas encore été étudiés en profondeur. Ce travail vise à aborder cette expérience collective à partir de l’exemple concret de l’écrivaine Carmelina Sánchez-Cutillas (Madrid, 1921-Valence 2009). En effet, depuis le Pays valencien, elle a été capable de créer une œuvre de grande valeur esthétique, en même temps que fortement engagée dans la récupération de la langue, l’histoire et la littérature et opposée aux injustices sociales et à la soumission féminine. Les documents inédits qui illustrent ce travail de rapprochement intersectionnel permettent de saisir l’importance littéraire et sociale de cette écrivaine.
Le XVIIIe siècle et les décrets de Nueva Planta : accommodement et dissidence
Authors: Albareda Salvadó Joaquim
Published: October 2022

Après la défaite catalane de 1714, à mesure que le temps passait, grâce à la croissance économique et à la participation grandissante sur le marché espagnol et latino-américain, les Catalans s’accommodèrent au nouveau régime bourbonien. Toutefois, comment l’image d’une Catalogne prospère dont parlent immanquablement les voyageurs étrangers durant le XVIIIe siècle et que l’historien Pierre Vilar a magnifiquement évoquée s’inscrit-elle dans ce récit d’une lourde répression des Bourbons ? Malgré cela, les exemples de dissidence politique — conjointement à la méfiance chronique de la part des autorités bourboniennes — ne cessèrent pas au fil du siècle. Ainsi, on peut conclure que vers la fin du XVIIIe siècle perdurera le souvenir des libertés catalanes et de l’organisation spécifique de la res publica, nullement conforme aux dictats de l’absolutisme bourbonien.
La «constitution politique» de la Couronne d’Aragon (XIIe-XVe siècles)
Authors: Montagut i Estragués Tomàs de
Published: October 2022

Du point de vue formel toute constitution se compose d'une partie dogmatique, qui réglemente les droits, les devoirs et les libertés fondamentales des citoyens, et d’une partie organique, qui établit les structures, les fonctions et les rapports des pouvoirs législatif, exécutif et judiciaire de l’État et ainsi la structure de son organisation territoriale. La Couronne d'Aragon n'avait pas de constitution formelle. D'un point de vue matériel, le mot définit la structure organique et normative du système politique de chaque société. De nos jours, la constitution matérielle définit les fondements historiques et philosophiques légitimant la suprématie de la constitution formelle démocratique. La constitution matérielle de la Couronne d'Aragon naît d'une union matrimoniale (par le mariage du comte de Barcelone Raymond Bérengier avec la princesse et héritière d'Aragon Péronnelle en 1137). Plus tard elle deviendra une union personnelle (1162), formée de deux sujets politiques distincts (Royaume d'Aragon et Comté de Barcelone) qui n’ont pas d’éléments institutionnels en commun à part le roi, puis une union territoriale (1289). Cet article analyse les processus historiques de formation et d'évolution de la Couronne d'Aragon pendant la période médiévale.
The Influence of AI-Assisted Learning on CAL
Authors: R. Karthik Ganesh
Published: October 2022

Reading, creating, hearing, witnessing, analyzing, testing, and other activities are all part of a diverse, multilayered, and dynamic learning experience. These layers combine to make learning a unique and personal experience for each individual. Understanding the factors that influence how people learn has a lot of power. When that expertise is combined with artificial intelligence (AI), the authors can develop learning experiences that are beneficial to all students. AI-assisted learning is a learning experience that is adaptive and enhances our natural learning style with machine intelligence (AIAL). AI can recognize trends and make decisions that are beneficial to users. There are numerous different tendencies in memory as it relates to humans in this study. This chapter explains how AI-assisted learning takes into account aspects including a student's background, the subject, modalities, and environment to produce an integrating teachable moment.
Rule of Law, International Trade, and Corporate Financing Decisions in Europe
Authors: Polat Ali Yavuz
Published: October 2022

This chapter investigates whether the institutional environment that the firms operate has an impact on their leverage choice. Namely, rule of law is used as an institutional variable. Considering that better implementation of rule of law impacts positively firms' export performance, total exports in each country are also used as the other main explanatory variable. The findings show that both institutional variables and exports negatively and significantly affect the leverage level. This implies that firms in favorable institutional environment tend to borrow less, which results with lower leverage. Moreover, this study finds that the COVID-19 pandemic period as an unprecedented shock to economies pushed the leverage levels higher. Regarding the implications of the findings, firms' capacity to access external finance especially during a significant crisis period depends on the institutional environment. Namely, the effective implementation of rule of law should be first priority for the policy makers.
