L’État malien entre négociations et résistances dans la formulation de politiques sur les migrations
Authors: Soukouna Sadio
Published: December 2020

En analysant la construction de l’action publique au Mali, cet article étudie les mécanismes et les acteurs pluriels engagés dans les négociations et les résistances face aux prescriptions internationales et européennes sur les migrations. Il retrace et analyse la séquence historique du refus malien de signer les accords de réadmission poussés par la France entre 2006 et 2010. Il examine les interactions, rôles, positions et stratégies contrastés des acteurs étatiques et non étatiques, impliqués dans les différentes étapes de la construction de ce problème public jusqu’à son impossible résolution. Il prolonge la réflexion sur la trajectoire singulière d’opposition et d’affirmation de l’État malien par rapport à la France, en montrant ses ambiguïtés et les évolutions de la gouvernance des migrations au Mali, dorénavant influencée par les attentes et pressions de l’Union européenne en matière de sécurisation des frontières.
L’externalisation des politiques migratoires au Niger. Une action publique opportuniste ?
Authors: Boyer Florence , Ayouba Tinni Bachirou , Mounkaila Harouna
Published: December 2020

Pays de départ et de transit depuis plusieurs décennies, le Niger est devenu un partenaire clé de l’Union européenne, à la suite du sommet de La Valette et de la mise en place d’un fonds fiduciaire pour les migrations en 2015. Ce positionnement s’inscrit dans le contexte de l’externalisation des politiques migratoires de l’UE et de la construction d’un récit national sur les migrations. Cette rencontre de deux logiques politiques a participé à faire du fait migratoire une thématique de l’action publique. Selon une approche « par le bas », l’objectif est de mettre en évidence la manière dont les différents acteurs mettent en pratique l’action publique telle que définie aux échelons supérieurs, par l’État et les partenaires internationaux. L’analyse de trois situations (l’application pratique de la loi 2015-36, un projet de réinsertion des travailleurs de la migration, l’accueil de demandeurs d’asile) permet de révéler comment les performances d’acteurs sont redéfinies à l’échelle locale et s’inscrivent dans une stratégie opportuniste autour de la rente migratoire.

Authors: Oraon Manish , Roy Manish Kumar , Sharma Vinay
Published: December 2020

Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is an emerging technique of sheet metal working that comes into the picture in the last two decades. The ISF involved the forming of shapes without using the dedicated dies. ISF is suitable for customized products, rapid prototyping, and low batch production. The study aims to investigate the effect of process parameters on the surface roughness. The experiments are conducted on aluminum AA3003-O grade with six parameters, and the trials are performed according to the design of experiment (DOE). The atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique is used for measuring the surface roughness. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used for analyzing the effect of process parameters in ISF. The result shows that the step-down size, feed rate of the tool, and wall angle are significant process parameter and their contributions for ISF are 85.86%, 1.12%, and 12.29%, respectively.
Validation of a Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport Modeling Framework for the Evaluation of Offshore Wind Farms
Authors: Jones Craig , Chang Grace , Magalen Jason , Roberts Jesse
Published: December 2020

AbstractDevelopment of alternative energy production in the United States continues at a rapid pace, with significant public and private investment in recent years. Offshore wind energy (herein referred to as offshore wind) has become a significant contributor to the global
energy market, and the number of projects in the United States is rapidly increasing. As the technology continues to improve, the ability to deploy offshore wind turbines in deeper waters becomes increasingly feasible; however, differences in deployment environments bring unique challenges.
To continue developing offshore wind as a viable renewable energy source, the United States must overcome three critical hurdles: (1) reduce the cost of generating offshore wind electricity, (2) accelerate the deployment and permitting process, and (3) integrate the new electrical source with
the national grid. This work aims to help reduce time and costs associated with planning, development, and permitting by accurately predicting environmental responses to the presence of offshore wind arrays. We demonstrate that interactions between offshore wind infrastructure and the environment
can be accurately assessed through a focused model development and validation process that considers the interrelationships between ocean waves, circulation, and seabed dynamics. Best practices are recommended to help guide future model development.
Wave Energy Converter Deployments at the Navy's Wave Energy Test Site: 2015‐2019
Authors: Cross Patrick , Rajagopalan Krishnakumar
Published: December 2020

AbstractA synopsis of wave energy converter (WEC) deployments at the U.S. Navy's Wave Energy Test Site (WETS), from the mid-2015 commissioning of the full three-berth site through 2019, is provided. This includes two deployments each of the Northwest Energy Innovations (NWEI)
Azura device and the Fred. Olsen Ltd. BOLT Lifesaver, each with important modifications between deployments. The Azura was modified with a larger float and a heave plate, aimed at enhancing power performance, while the Lifesaver's second deployment addressed mooring challenges encountered
in the first. Additionally, unique integration and deployment of a sophisticated environmental sensing system developed by the University of Washington, in which required power was drawn from the WEC itself, was achieved during this second Lifesaver deployment. A brief background of the site
is included, as is a synopsis of two major efforts not directly related to WEC deployments—the development of a site-dedicated support vessel and work to redesign and make repairs to the WETS deep berth mooring systems, including the addition of a “no-WEC hawser” system to
keep the moorings in tension between WEC deployments. Finally, a look ahead to WEC deployments planned in 2021‐2023 is provided.

Fundamentos teóricos del aprendizaje de la coordinación motriz
Authors: Mejía Mejía Noel Fernando
Published: December 2020

En la formación de la capacidad motora, tanto las capacidades condicionales como las coordinativas son componentes esenciales. Sin embargo, frecuentemente se considera que la coordinación motriz, al igual que las capacidades condicionales, se desarrolla. El objetivo del presente artículo es fundamentar la adquisición de la coordinación motriz como un producto del aprendizaje por parte de los distintos componentes responsables de la regulación y conducción de la acción motriz, no del desarrollo. Por medio de la aplicación de los métodos teóricos: analítico-sintético, deductivo-inductivo, se concluye que la adquisición de la coordinación motriz es producto de las conexiones interneuronales a través de las cuales se procesa la información que es almacenada en la memoria neuromuscular para la formación de la imagen del gesto motor y su reproducción o ejecución. Por tal motivo es pertinente afirmar que la coordinación motriz se aprende.

Heavy rock falls of coal roof cause increased pressure load on powered roof support systems during the mining of first layers in seams III and IV-V of Tomusinsky coal field. Moreover, the complex morphology of the seam creates additional difficulties in downward working of seam layers. All these factors call for validation of thick flat-lying coal seams mining methods that involve longwall face layered floor mining as an alternative to any kind of artificially induced weakening of coal roof.

As a result of experimental and theoretical studies, the regularities of the interaction of vertical shafts of potash mines with the rock mass were clarified, which allows predictive assessment of the consequences of violations of construction geotechnology projects and to develop effective measures to restore lining and ensure safe operation of shafts. At the same time, during the construction of vertical shafts, deviations from projects occur without modeling the possible consequences of such violations of projects. However, for a predictive assessment of the consequences of violations of construction geotechnology projects and the development of effective recommendations for the restoration and ensuring the safe operation of shafts, it is necessary to use a system of control and measuring monitoring of the support material, and mathematical modeling of its stress-strain state.
Brake Particle Movement inside the Frictional System and Influencing Parameters
Authors:   BMW/ TU Ilmenau, Kolbeck Katharina ,   TU Ilmenau, Augsburg Klaus
Published: December 2020

Particulate pollution caused by traffic is an important socio-political issue nowadays. In addition to the engines as a source of particulate matter, non-exhaust sources of vehicles like tyre, road abrasion and the brake are moving into focus due to the improved exhaust after-treatment and electrification. Although many studies have looked into brake particle number, mass and size distribution until now, the formation of this particles and their change within the frictional contact haven't been complete revealed. However, the understanding of these mechanisms is important. This knowledge can help, for example, to identify possible reduction potentials. In order to achieve a better understanding about the mechanisms that occur between the brake pad and the brake disc, tests are carried out on a tribological brake test rig. Using a borosilicate glass disc instead of a cast iron disc, allows optical in-situ measurements with a high-speed camera equipped with a magnification lens. The microscopic system is mounted on a linear bearing and can be moved stepwise in horizontal and vertical direction. Therefor sequential observation of the entire brake pad is feasible. In addition, 3-D images provide insights into the influence of the local structure of the pad. Besides, a newly developed sampling method will be used to remove wear mass from the system and analyze it chemically. This procedure can also be applied in combination with a grey cast iron disc, which allows further validation of the described glass method. By recording of the pad surface section by section, insights about the distribution of the brake particle movement within the tribological system can be gained. Hereby it can be analyzed, whether only the location on the pad influences the occurrence of particle motion or also other influencing variables exist. For instance, the presence of primary and secondary patches, as well as deposited wear mass and the surface morphology could be important. The 3-D images in combination with the chemical analysis can shed light on the mechanisms of wear mass deposition. Therefore this study shows new findings about brake particle behavior with regard to pad location, surface structure and chemical composition. In addition, the phenomenon of deposited mass is analyzed more precisely.
Influence of Different Friction Materials on the Particle Size Distribution of Brake Emissions
Authors:   TMD Friction Services GmbH, Paulus Andreas , KI Matthias
Published: December 2020

In this study, particle size distributions are analyzed with regard to additional influencing factors. Especially the influence of the friction material is put into the focus as the friction material is an integral part of a brake system and is often not considered properly in the context of brake emissions. Due to the very diverse physical and chemical properties that different classes of friction materials possess, it is highly probable that they can have a significant influence on total brake emissions and also on particle size distribution. Apart from that, the influence of hard-coated discs on particle size distribution of brake emissions is investigated and it is shown that both friction material and disc coating constitute promising approaches to handle the challenge of brake emission reduction. The influence of friction material and brake disc on the tribology that takes place in a friction brake also leads to potentially different temperature regimes. The present study sets an additional focus on the investigation of the temperature effect on particle size distribution
Optimization of Thermal Performance and Weight of an Automotive Disc Brake for a High Performance Passenger Car
Authors:   University of Leeds, Oshinibosi Ahmed
Published: December 2020

The performance of a vehicle braking system can be seriously undermined by excessive increase in temperature in the brake components, especially in the brake disc itself. This rise in temperature is produced by the heat generated from the relative sliding at the friction interface. The resulting thermo-elastic deformation within the disc can change the distribution of contact pressure and lead to thermal localization such as hot-banding and hot-spotting. The phenomenon is called thermo-elastic instability, and if severe, this can cause judder, as well as decrease in fatigue life of the disc. In addition, since weight reduction has become a major topic in the automotive industry due to the environmental impacts of carbon emissions, it is imperative to ensure that the thermal performance of a disc brake is optimized in a weight efficient method. With the advent of electric vehicles, there are even more reasons to reduce total vehicle mass in order to extend the range of the vehicle. Furthermore, the brake disc constitutes part of the vehicle's unsprung mass, so minimizing this mass helps to improve ride comfort and reduce damage to the road surface. This paper describes how structural optimization techniques have been deployed in the redesign of a ventilated brake disc used on a high performance passenger vehicle with the view of improving thermal performance, while minimizing mass. Two types of optimization strategy have been investigated: shape (parametric) and topology (non-parametric). In the parametric optimization study, a coupled thermal-structural analysis was first developed to predict the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the existing disc for given braking conditions. Using a Design of Experiment approach, the geometry of the existing disc was then parametrized into shape variables and the influence of each design variable on temperature distribution and distortion of the disc was studied using a Response Surface methodology. This enabled derivation of optimum values of these geometric parameters, thereby yielding an improved thermal performance as well as a reduced mass compared with the existing disc design. In the second topology optimization study, a baseline ground structure was formulated to enable new conceptual vane geometries for both improved thermal performance and lower disc mass to be derived. This approach allowed novel disc designs not previously considered to evolve. Although possibly more difficult to manufacture than the conventional disc, the potential performance benefits of this more radical optimization strategy are clearly demonstrated.
A Manifesto for Messy Philosophy of Technology: The History and Future of an Academic Field
Authors: Swer Gregory Morgan , Du Toit Jean
Published: December 2020

Philosophy of technology was not initially considered a consolidated field of inquiry. However, under the influence of sociology and pragmatist philosophy, something resembling a consensus has emerged in a field previously marked by a lack of agreement amongst its practitioners. This has given the field a greater sense of structure and yielded interesting research. However, the loss of the earlier “messy” state has resulted in a limitation of the field’s scope and methodology that precludes an encompassing view of the problematic issues inherent in the question of technology. It is argued that the heterodox disunity and diversity of earlier philosophy of technology was not a mark of theoretical immaturity but was necessitated by the field’s complex subject matter. It is further argued that philosophy of technology should return to its pluralistic role as a meta-analytical structure linking insights from different fields of research.

Published: December 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact in healthcare systems across the world, with many hospitals having to come up with protocols and measures to contain the spread of the virus. This affects various specialties’ clinical practices in many ways. Since early 2020 in Singapore, the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at Tan Tock Seng Hospital had to rapidly adapt to this pandemic as we provided services to the main healthcare facility combating the virus in our country. We had to design new workflows and also remain flexible in view of the ever-changing situation. There are 6 important domains for an otolaryngology department or any clinical department in general to consider when making adjustments to their practices in an outbreak: (1) clinical work, (2) education, (3) research, (4) safety of patients and staff, (5) morale of medical staff and (6) pandemic frontline work. We hope that the sharing of our experiences and the lessons learnt will be useful for both our local and international colleagues. Keywords: ENT, pandemic, SARS-CoV-2

Public indebtedness rates (outstanding debt recorded in the GDP) of Benin are respectively from 41.2% (4th term 2019), 43.9% (1st term 2020) and 48.4% (2nd term 2020). Previously, these rates have increased from 56.2% on December 31, 2018, compared to 54.3% in 2017 (Autonomous Amortization Fund - CAA, 2020). The progress of these indebtedness rates deserves an analysis of Benin public debt sustainability. This study thus aims at carrying out the econometric analysis of Benin public debt sustainability. The outcomes of data processing in the programming software R reveal that estimated β ( = 0,7318), is comprised between 0 and 1; we can deduce, according to QUINTOS (1995) that the revenues and expenditures partially adjust and that Benin public has a low sustainability.

Mental health and being smart in Daniel Keyes’ Flowers for Algernon
Authors: ÇELİKEL Mehmet
Published: December 2020

Daniel Keyes’ Flowers for Algernon was first published as a short story in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction in 1959. After the story successfully elicited critical acclaim and brought literary awards to its author, Keyes expanded the story into a novel that was first published in 1966. Daniel Keyes recounts the saddening story of Charlie Gordon, a mentally retarded thirty-two-year-old man, who is chosen by scientists for an experiment that would supposedly improve one’s mental capacity in a short time span. The experiment gradually proves to be successful as Charlie’s mental health improves. Yet, as Charlie turns unexpectedly very intelligent and cultured, reaching the ability to speak several languages including Latin, he finds out that the experiment he has been through brings a temporary state of mental well-being to the subject who would quickly return to one’s initial mental state. This purpose of paper is to discuss the concept of healing and well-being and question whether being well is an ideological or medical concept in terms of madness and civilization from the perspective of Foulcault who sees madness in a certain cultural space in society which the position and definition of “healthy” individuals depend on.

Bu bağlamda umûr-ı külliyenin Tanrı ile âlem arasındaki irtibatı kurma-daki metafiziksel yönü ve ikinci akledilirler olarak değerlendirilmesi gibi on-tolojik ve epistemolojik cihetleri dikkate alınarak, umûr-ı âmme kavramı etrafında yapılan tartışmalarla benzer yönleri ortaya konulmaya çalışılacaktır. Bu sayede söz konusu yorum ve benzerliklerden yola çıkarak, bu kavram çiftinin, dile getirildikleri düşünce geleneklerinin yakınlaşmasına bir zemin teşkil edip etmeyeceği tartışılacaktır.

As a prosperous and developed country, of course the State of Brunei Darussalam has implemented a very good education, economy and government system in accordance with the state ideology that is firmly held, namely Malay Islam Beraja (MIB). In the aspect of education, socio-economics and leadership in Brunei Darussalam embody Islam that is Rahmatan lil alamin according to the explanation we have conveyed. Education in Brunei Darussalam is characterized by the dominance of Islamic Religious Education which is specifically managed by Kesultanana in the Haji Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Foundation (YSHHB) as well as at the tertiary level such as at UBD (Universiti Brunei Darussalam), KUPU (Kolej Universiti Perguruan Ugama) Seri Begawan and UNISSA (Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University).The Sultanate government as fully responsible for the education process also integrates Islamic religious education with science, where according to the teachings in the Qur'an and Hadith, all have a connection and are beneficial to humans. Likewise with progress in the economic sector, where the State of Brunei Darussalam is a producer of oil and gas in Southeast Asia and even globally, which supports the welfare of its people. A government system that continues to maintain security and stability by adhering to the MIB ideology, carrying out Islamic teachings very well, this can be seen from every policy and regulation delivered by the Sultanate.

Kepala Sekolah adalah orang yang berada di garis terdepan yang mengkoordinasikan upaya meningkatkan bermutu sekolah. Kepala sekolah diangkat untuk menduduki jabatan yang bertanggung jawab mengkoordinasikan upaya bersama mencapai tujuan pendidikan pada level sekolah masing-masing. Dalam praktik di Indonesia, kepala sekolah adalah guru senior yang dipandang memiliki kualifikasi menduduki jabatan itu. Tidak pernah ada orang yang bukan guru diangkat menjadi kepala sekolah. Jadi, seorang guru dapat berharap bahwa jika beruntung suatu saat kariernya akan berujung pada jabatan kepala sekolah. Biasanya guru yang dipandang baik dan cakap sebagai guru diangkat menjadi kepala sekolah. Dalam kenyataan, banyak di antaranya yang tadinya berkinerja sangat bagus sebagai guru, menjadi tumpul setelah menjadi kepala sekolah. Umumnya mereka tidak cocok untuk mengemban tanggung jawab manajerial. Sehingga perlu dilaksanakan evaluasi dan supervisi standar kepala sekolah untuk meningkatkan kinerja kepala sekolah dalam upaya meningkatkan pencapaian tujuan pendidikan.

When developing a software, one of the most important aspects for success of any software project is to get the requirements right. The success of any software project depends on the quality of the requirements. As the projects change over the time, we try to study the requirement process in different type of projects focusing on classical, web-based and open source projects. The requirements dictate all other software engineering processes which in turn influence the Productivity, Quality and Risk. The requirements engineering steers the whole process of the software development to develop the right software. Requirements engineering not only helps the various software process teams but also helps the management to meet the constraints of cost, time and resources. Also requirements can help us to trace the quality of the software product.

AIM: The present study was undertaken to evaluate noni fruit juice for its protective effects on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.
METHODS:Wistar albino rats of either sex, weighing 150-200g were divided into 4 groups; normal saline, gentamicin 80 mg/kg, i.p.,i for 8 days, noni fruit juice 5 and 10 mg/kg, p.o., for 8 days, noni fruit juice 3 days prior and concurrently with gentamicin for 5 days. Blood urea, serum creatinine, serum uric acid and blood urea nitrogen analyses and microscopic examination of kidney were performed after the treatment.
RESULTS: Gentamicin treatment caused nephrotoxicity as evidenced by marked elevation in blood urea and serum creatinine. Serum urea, serum uric acid, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen were increased with gentamicin compared to saline-treated animals (162.33 ± 9.92mg/dl, 3.13 ± 0.12 mg/dl, 6.85 ± 0.35 mg/dl and 75.86 ± 4.64 mg/dl respectively).Co-administration of noni fruit juice with gentamicin decreased the rise in in these parameters in a dose dependent manner. Study of renal morphology by light microscope showed epithelial loss with intense granular degeneration involving >50% renal cortex in gentamicin treated rats, whereas in noni fruit juice plus gentamicin treated rat revealed insignificant changes in tubular epithelium.
CONCLUSION: To conclude, our data suggest that supplementation of noni fruit juice may be useful in reducing gentamicin
nephrotoxicity in rats.
Solid Dispersions : An Approach to Enhance the Bioavailability of Poorly Water-Soluble Drugs
Authors: Das Sanjoy Kumar
Published: December 2020

Improving oral bioavailability of drugs those given as solid dosage forms remains a challenge for the formulation scientists due to solubility problems. The dissolution rate could be the rate-limiting process in the absorption of a drug from a solid dosage form of relatively insoluble drugs. Therefore increase in dissolution of poorly soluble drugs by solid dispersion technique presents a challenge to the formulation scientists. Solid dispersion techniques have attracted considerable interest of improving the dissolution rate of highly lipophilic drugs thereby improving their bioavailability by reducing drug particle size, improving wettability and forming amorphous particles. The term solid dispersion refers to a group of solid products consisting of at least two different components, generally a hydrophilic inert carrier or matrix and a hydrophobic drug. This article reviews historical background of solid dispersion technology, limitations, classification, and various preparation techniques with its advantages and disadvantages. This review also discusses the recent advances in the field of solid dispersion technology. Based on the existing results and authors’ reflection, this review give rise to reasoning and suggested choices of carrier or matrix and solid dispersion
procedure.
An Effective Time Management Schema in WSNs
Authors: Prasad Mulukalla , Sandeep CH.
Published: December 2020

WSN usually consists of a large number of resource constraint sensor nodes that are generally deployed in unattended/hostile environments and Existing security designs mostly provide a hop-by-hop security paradigm. Furthermore, existing security designs are also vulnerable to many types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, such as random node capture attack, report disruption attacks and selective forwarding attacks. We come up with a new concept that provide end-to end security framework in which secret keys are generated and each node stores a few keys based on Time Schema . The proposed multifunctional key management framework assures both node-to-sink and node-to-node
authentication along the report forwarding routes.
Implementation Of Hybrid Protocol For Routing As Well As
Clustering
Authors: V. Mankar Gunjan , T. Bodkhe Sonali
Published: December 2020

WSN consisting of a large number of small sensors with low power transceivers can be an effective tool for gathering data in a variety of environments. As sensor nodes are deployed in sensing field, they can help people to monitor and aggregate data. Researchers also try to find more efficient ways of utilizing limited energy of sensor node in order to give longer life time of WSNs. Network lifetime, scalability, and load balancing are important requirements for many data gathering sensor network applications. Therefore, many protocols are introduced for better performance. The lack of infrastructure and dynamic nature of mobile ad hoc networks demand new networking strategies to be implemented in order to provide efficient end-to-end communication. Some researches have been proposed to organize the network into groups called clusters and use different routing protocols for inter and intra clusters to propagate an information. But with these solutions, the network first needs to be
organized into cluster and next, we need to construct each routing table[16]. In the available literature, multi-hop routing protocol is well known for power saving in data gathering [5]. Researchers have used such types of the cluster-based (e.g., LEACH, EERP), the chain-based (e.g. PEGASIS) and the tree-based (e.g. TREEPSI) to establish their energy efficient routing protocols. In this paper, we propose an improved version
which uses both cluster and tree based protocols. The proposed protocol
improves the power consumption by improving FND.
