Asymptotic behavior for a quasi-autonomous gradient system of expansive type governed by a quasiconvex function
Authors: Rouhani Behzad Djafari , Piranfar Mohsen Rahimi
Published: August 2023

We consider the quasi-autonomous first-order gradient system $$\displaylines{ \dot{u}(t)=\nabla\phi(u(t))+f(t),\quad t\in [0,+\infty)\cr u(0)=x_0\in H, }$$ where \(\phi:H\to\mathbb{R}\) is a differentiable quasiconvex function such that \(\nabla\phi\) is Lipschitz continuous. We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to this system in continuous and discrete time. We show that each solution either approaches infinity in norm or converges weakly to a critical point of \(\phi\). This further concludes that the existence of bounded solutions and implies that \(\phi\) has a nonempty set of critical points. Some strong convergence results, as well as numerical examples, are also given in both continuous and discrete cases.

Infinitely many solutions for a nonlocal type problem with sign-changing weight function
Authors: Azroul Elhoussine , Benkirane Abdelmoujib , Srati Mohammed , Torres Ledesma Cesar E.
Published: August 2023

In this article, we study the existence of weak solutions for a fractional type problem driven by a nonlocal operator of elliptic type $$\displaylines{ (-\Delta)^s_{a_1} u  -\lambda a_2(|u|)u = f(x,u)+g(x)|u|^{q(x)-2}u \quad \text{in } \Omega \cr u = 0 \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^N\setminus \Omega. }$$ Our approach is based on critical point theorems and variational methods.

Dampak Adanya Influencer Investor Serta Perilaku Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) Terhadap Keputusan Pembelian Saham Di Indonesia
Authors: Iasa Nur Firdausi  , Lia Nirawati
Published: August 2023

In the digital era like today, investment itself can be interpreted as an activity of placing capital or wealth owned by someone with the reason to gain profits in the future. It is also not uncommon to find some investors who deliberately show the condition of their stock portfolio with the intention of providing guidance to the general public regarding the investment activities they have carried out. In general, an influencer investor provides educational narratives to his followers by providing an overview or even a visualization of their experiences in stock investing activities. Influencer investors often provide an overview of the amount of profits that have been obtained with persuasive narratives so that they can attract followers' interest in doing things similar to what the influencer investors did. It doesn't stop there, the decision to buy shares is often also based on the responses given by followers of other investor influencers. The response of an investor influencer follower often results in a persuasive share purchase decision. This is often also known as the condition of being trapped by an investor in a FOMO phenomenon or Fear of Missing Out.
A Paradise of Saints
Authors: Van Loon Gertrude J. M.
Published: August 2023

The Monastery of Anba Hadra, also erroneously known as the Monastery of St. Simeon, is located on the west bank of the Nile near Aswan, and is one of the best-preserved monastic complexes in Egypt. One of the most intriguing features of the complex is the “Cave of Anba Hadra”, which is actually a small quarry, located at the north-western end of the church. It was said to be the dwelling place of Anba Hadra, an anchorite who lived in a desert cave before being consecrated as bishop of Aswan under Patriarch Theophilus (AD 385–412). While the quarry is partly demolished, it still contains wall paintings. A row of standing saints is painted on the remaining rock faces, and the ceiling is adorned with a colorful geometrical pattern that encloses squares and octagons with busts of Christ and saints. The series of saints includes monks and hermits, bishops or patriarchs, apostles, and evangelists, as well as an Old Testament figure. These paintings are believed to date back to the end of the 7th or beginning of the 8th century. Although incomplete, the combination of holy figures in the paintings raises questions about memory, remembrance, tradition, models, and inspiration. Overall, the Monastery of Anba Hadra and its Cave provide a valuable glimpse into the rich cultural and religious history of Egypt, and ongoing research will help to shed further light on this fascinating complex.

L’Etat de fragilité des provinces de la RD Congo face à la pandémie de Covid-19. Le cas du Kasai-central
Authors:   CRSH, Ngalamulume Tshiebue Grégoire
Published: August 2023

Kasai Central, a young, post-conflict province in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is extremely fragile in the five dimensions (political, security, economic, societal and environmental) of the OECD’s analytical framework of fragility. Its ability to adapt, manage, absorb and mitigate the risks it faces on a daily basis remains in deficit. It is in this context that the Covid-19 pandemic has arisen, which imposes new risks relating to the containment measures and restrictions put in place to fight against the spread of the epidemic, even though the province is among the least affected by the Covid-19 disease on its territory. How to build his capacity for resilience to be able to get by?
La communication des pouvoirs publics congolais en contexte pandémique : quelle évaluation au coeur de la crise de la Covid-19
Authors:   CRSH, Kabungu Bobo
Published: August 2023

In a context of crisis, communication provides reassurance. With particular regard to the pandemic linked to Covid-19, all the countries of the world have embarked on awareness campaigns for their respective populations with little or no success. In this paper, an evaluation grid for the communication strategy of the Congolese public authorities during the first wave of the coronavirus disease is proposed. The ad hoc index that is constructed reveals that the organization of public awareness has neither met the height nor the complexity of the challenge. Hence the need to strengthen the coherence of government action and to consider community outreach from below added to publicity of influential figures.

Authors:   CRSH, Mukeba Florent , Kapembo Michel , Mpiana Pius , Mulaji Crispin , Poté John
Published: August 2023

In many suburban municipalities in Sub-Saharan African countries, the water used in households comes mainly from groundwater, including wells and streams. These springs are vulnerable due to the prevailing poor hygiene and sanitation conditions, leading to the persistence and recurrence of waterborne diseases. In this research, a study on the use of water resources and an epidemiological survey on waterborne diseases were carried out among users of water points and medical institutions in the suburban communes of Selembao and Kimbanseke in the city of Kinshasa, in the DRC. The results of the survey indicate that the users of the selected water points run the risk of catching waterborne diseases, due to a lack of appropriate hygienic habits and due to high microbiological pollution. Hence the need to raise awareness among those concerned.
Subcutaneous Biopharmaceutics: Building tools for a flexible future
Authors: Harris Kate Louise , Wood J Matthew , Gonzalez Laura Garcia , Todd Simon , Grant Iain
Published: August 2023

The major biopharmaceutics challenge faced during the development of subcutaneous (SC) drug products is the limited understanding of the physiological factors and the combination product attributes that can impact absorption rate/extent and drug product performance. Currently, the biopharmaceutics toolkit available to characterize and predict SC in vivo performance is immature compared to that of oral delivery, resulting in conservative bioequivalence (BE) strategies and costly clinical studies to manage even modest drug product changes during clinical development. This abstract summarises the development of novel SC Biopharmaceutics tools, the approaches we are taking to characterise and predict SC drug product performance and the questions we would still like to investigate. We are pursuing a strategy centred on a best-in-industry in-silico model, and driving improvements in dosing characterisation and in-vitro methods to build holistic understanding. 
Extract Rheum rhaponticum (ERr) 731: A Promising Alternative for Menopausal Symptom Relief
Authors: Heger Peter Werner , Meinert Ilka , Hotz Dirk
Published: August 2023

The present paper discusses the clinical application and scientific evidence of the special Extract Rheum rhaponticum (ERr) 731, derived from the roots of the rhapontic rhubarb. Originally used to treat irregular menstrual cycles, ERr 731 is now primarily employed to alleviate menopausal symptoms. The extract has a similar mode of action to estrogens, has been found to be a highly selective ERβ agonist, and showed to be clinically safe and effective. Studies suggest that ERr 731 can reduce anxiety, depressed mental state, sleeping disorders, and hot flushes more effectively than low-dose hormone therapy. Furthermore, unlike certain synthetic hormones, ERr 731 is not listed as an endocrine disrupting chemical and may serve as a more environmentally friendly alternative. It has advantages in terms of crop yield, resistance against pests and diseases, and reliable production. Overall, ERr 731 may offer significant benefits for patients and manufacturers.
Translation as a journey through possible and impossible worlds
Authors: Demyankov Valery Z.
Published: August 2023

In this paper, translation is examined from the perspective of the semantics of possible worlds. The consequences of this viewpoint are explored, particularly in relation to the metaphor of traveling through possible and impossible worlds in translation practice. Special attention is given to cases where there are disparities between the world of the original text and the world of the translated text. For example, in the case of French subjunctive forms, which are grammatically mandatory in the original language, they often need to be replaced with indicative forms in the target language, such as Russian. Externally, this transformation appears as a change from expressing a possibility in one world to making a statement about the actual world. Various techniques for transforming French inserts in the original Russian text (in Leo Tolstoy's novel "War and Peace") are analyzed and compared with the actual French translation found in a French edition of the same text by a Francophone translator. The study demonstrates that the concept of language translatability does not align completely with the concept of text translatability, as the latter is influenced by various external and internal factors related to cultural contexts, traditions, trends, and more. Viewing text translation as a journey through worlds also involves elements from the real worlds that belong to the original author, the translator, and the recipients of the translated text within their socio-cultural contexts.
Simultaneous interpreter in multimodal dimension: the role of gestures in moments of non-interpretation
Authors: Iriskhanova Olga K.
Published: August 2023

The paper investigates multimodal behavior of simultaneous interpreters during ‘non-interpretation’ regarded as interruptions in the flow of speech due to difficulties. Video recordings of a TEDtalk on biology interpreted from English into Russian by 24 simultaneous interpreters are analyzed with the help of quantitative and qualitative methods. The distribution of gestures with the moments of ‘non-interpretation’ indicates that referential (representational and deictic) gestures serve the compensatory function of strengthening the mappings between three frames of reference in which a simultaneous interpreter acts at the same time: i. e., the frame of reference of the events described in the lecture, the communicative situation of the source text, and the interpreter’s physical communicative space constrained by the booth. Representational gestures connect the first two frames of reference via the representational modes of drawing, molding, holding, as well as acting out and embodying. Deictic (pointing) gestures help the interpreter to organize the referential objects around him / her, thus integrating the referential frame of events being described and interpreted, and the physical space of the booth.

IMPACTOS DAS MUDANÇAS CLIMÁTICAS NAS FLORESTAS TROPICAIS
Authors: Xavier Jordana dos Anjos , Muniz Beatriz Rodrigues Bagnolin , Kanieski Maria Raquel , Campos Cláudia Guimarães Camargo , Henkes Jairo Afonso
Published: August 2023

As alterações nas propriedades do clima caracterizam as mudanças climáticas, que vem se manifestando de diferentes formas ao longo dos anos. Os impactos das mudanças climáticas são observados na agricultura, na silvicultura, na vida marinha, nos ecossistemas, nos recursos hídricos e, também na vida humana. Os biomas florestais são os que mais sofrem os efeitos das mudanças climáticas devido sua grande diversidade de espécies, assim tornam-se mais vulneráveis. Com isso, o presente estudo objetivou caracterizar o bioma florestal tropical e identificar os impactos sofridos ao longo do tempo nesse bioma em decorrência das mudanças climáticas. As florestas tropicais apresentam-se em todos os continentes, porém o continente Sul-Americano possui mais da metade das florestas tropicais do mundo. Contudo, o desmatamento realizado nas florestas tropicais, a partir do processo da queima, é um dos principais responsáveis pelas mudanças climáticas. As emissões de gases de efeito estufa provenientes das queimadas excedem a escala local e afetam regionalmente a composição das propriedades químicas da atmosfera e, em escala global, alteram o balanço radioativo da atmosfera, reduzindo a quantidade de radiação absorvida pela superfície terrestre. As modificações ocasionadas nos ecossistemas presentes na floresta tropical afetam também a economia regional, pois há comunidades que dependem de recursos fornecidos pelas florestas. Dessa forma, observou-se que as mudanças climáticas trazem consequências de âmbito ambiental, social e econômico. E embora a grande relevância desse bioma, há pouco conhecimento a respeito, abrindo inúmeras lacunas a respeito da dinâmica florestal tropical.

Genetic hitchhiking in English
Authors: Matheson Stephen

The next post will discuss recent evidence for genetic hitchhiking in humans. So, what do we mean when we say that genes can hitchhike? To make sense of this phenomenon, we first need to review chromosomes and sexual reproduction. Most people know that sexual reproduction creates offspring that are genetically distinct from both of the their parents. That's true, but the genetic scrambling that occurs is more significant than is sometimes reported. Let's start by looking at chromosomes. Like...

The function of stylistic re-registration in the linguistic-stylistic analysis of the novel paper Dragons by Mira Otašević
Authors: Ćupić Zorana
Published: August 2023

The subject of this paper is a linguistic stylistic analysis of the functional value of stylistic re-registration in the novel Paper Dragons by Mira Otašević (2008). The aim of the research is to indicate the influence of stylistic re-registration in the creation of a hybrid genre form, in which a documentary-fictional novel is formed through the technique of literary collage. The effects and consequences of re-registration in the work are examined through the adaptation of non-literary functional styles, sub-styles, and genres to the aesthetic function of the literary-artistic text, as well as through the influence of intertextuality. By applying the criteria of integral stylistics, the paper sheds light on the functional value of the polyvalent structure of the novel, where the hybridization of literary language has a stylistic value of reviving and maintaining the culture of memory.

The results of this study indicate that long-term debt has a negative and insignificant effect on profitability. Meanwhile, own capital has a positive and insignificant effect on profitability. In addition, long-term debt and equity do not simultaneously have a significant effect on profitability.
Human Resource Planning Subsystem and Firm Performance of Listed Companies at the Nairobi Securities Exchange in Kenya
Authors: MURIITHI JAMES GITARI MURIITHI , Gachunga Hazel , Mukulu Elegwa
Published: August 2023

Globally, information systems have revolutionized various sectors of the economy, and their significance is particularly pronounced in developed countries. Human Resource planning subsystem has emerged as a time-saving and cost-effective solution in managing human resources. The study aims to explore whether there is a significant link between Human Resource planning subsystem utilization and the performance of listed companies at NSE. This study examines the relationship between Human Resource planning subsystem and firm performance of listed companies at the NSE in Kenya. Human Resource planning subsystem is a crucial tool adopted globally to streamline human resource management practices, including HR planning and performance management. The study analyzes the effect of Human Resource planning subsystem components, such as HR planning and firm performance, particularly focusing on the financial perspective, using the return on assets ratio. The study adopts an explanatory research design to identify causal links between Human Resource planning subsystem factors and firm performance. Both primary and secondary data are utilized in this research. Secondary data from financial statements provided by the Capital Markets Authority is combined with primary data collected from questionnaires and interviews conducted with HR managers of thirty listed companies. The study establishes that Human Resource planning subsystem components have a positive influence on the performance of companies listed at NSE. Human Resource planning subsystem facilitates the Workforce Demand Forecasting, Workforce Supply Forecasting, Skills Inventory and Analysis, Succession Planning leading to enhanced performance. Moreover, Human Resource planning subsystem aids in decision-making related to salary increments, promotions, retention, recognition of performance, layoffs, and identification of underperforming employees. The study further reveals that Human Resource planning subsystem effectively manages external information outside the organization, contributing to improved performance. Additionally, Human Resource planning subsystem enables employees to access their payroll information offsite, promoting convenience and reducing payroll administration expenses. Based on the findings, the study concludes that Human Resource planning subsystem, particularly the recruitment and selection subsystem, significantly affects firm performance among NSE-listed companies. Additionally, HR planning subsystem also plays a crucial role in influencing firm performance. To enhance firm performance, the study recommends the implementation and improvement of the Human Resource planning subsystem. Furthermore, it suggests investing in the enhancement of the Human Resource planning subsystem, as it has a direct impact on a firm's performance.

Published: August 2023

Cet article témoigne d’une démarche autoethnographique (Haraway 1988,
Russell 1999, Chang 2008, Rondeau 2011, Rouleau 2016) relatant l’expérience
individuelle et collective du Choeur Maha, une chorale montréalaise se présentant
comme féministe. À travers un partage d’expériences inspiré de
l’Object-Elicitation Interview Method (Pink 2015), sont exposées dans ce
texte les multiples significations qu’accordent les membres à leur expérience au
sein du choeur, tant comme lieu d’appartenance et d’épanouissement que comme espace
féministe. S’appuyant sur les précédents travaux ayant problématisé la dimension
genrée des loisirs culturels, notamment celle de la pratique amatrice du chant
(Octobre 2014, Buscatto 2003, 2007, 2013), la démarche consiste à dégager de
l’expérience chorale de Maha les articulations concrètes et multiples des concepts
de soin (care ; Mestiri 2016), d’empuissancement
(empowerment ; Guétat-Bernard et Lapeyre 2017) et d’espace
sécuritaire (safe space ; Lewis, Sharp, Remnant et Redpath 2015,
Deller 2019), à la fois sur une échelle individuelle et collective, ainsi que dans
une optique de résilience et de résistance féministes (Britt 2019).
Quadruple défi pour les artistes femmes, immigrantes et allophones : le cas du premier Sarau das MinasMontréal
Authors: de Carvalho Dalila Vasconcellos
Published: August 2023

Cet article porte sur le processus de création du premier Sarau das Minas Montréal : une soirée de sororité artistique qui s’est déroulée le 8 mars 2020. Il s’agit d’un événement artistique conçu, dirigé et réalisé par une équipe de femmes, immigrantes et allophones. Cet événement est ancré, d’une part, dans une démarche féministe empirique inductive visant la construction d’une scène sûre pour des artistes femmes immigrantes et allophones. D’autre part, il s’inspire de l’analyse préliminaire des données de ma recherche de doctorat sur les musicien·nes immigrant·es oeuvrant sur le marché de la « musique du monde » à Montréal. La construction d’une scène sûre pour ces femmes implique l’aménagement d’un espace dans lequel elles sont avant tout reconnues et appréciées en tant qu’artistes. En outre, l’analyse des données recueillies montre que le fait d’être à la fois artiste, femme, immigrante et allophone s’impose comme un quadruple défi. En s’inspirant de la notion d’« espace sûr », ce projet événementiel cherchait des réponses pragmatiques à deux problèmes vécus par les artistes femmes immigrantes allophones : leur sous-représentation dans le milieu artistique professionnel québécois et la langue en tant qu’obstacle à leur l’inclusion. Le Sarau résulte ainsi du travail collectif et de la volonté d’un groupe de femmes artistes, immigrantes et allophones entreprenant une démarche d’émancipation vis-à-vis leur propre invisibilité.
Situer les femmes dans l’Electronic Dance Music Culture (EDMC) à Montréal entre 1950 et 1995 : premier survol
Authors: van Vliet Kiersten Beszterda
Published: August 2023

Des études récentes consacrées à la culture de la musique de danse électronique (EDMC) du xxie siècle soulignent l’importance de l’agentivité créative des femmes en tant que productrices et DJs, ainsi que la place de l’EDM dans la formation de l’identité des femmes (Farrugia 2012 ; Hutton 2006 ; Rodgers 2010). Avant le xxie siècle cependant, les possibilités pour les femmes dans les club cultures et les économies nocturnes étaient plus circonscrites ; les femmes assumaient plus fréquemment des rôles en dehors des domaines les plus rentables et créatifs de ces économies culturelles. Malgré leur exclusion, les femmes ont été des participantes actives dans les club cultures de Montréal depuis les années 1950. Sans prétendre à l’exhaustivité, cet article propose une étude historique de diverses manières dont les femmes ont participé à la vie nocturne de Montréal des années 1950 aux années 1990 dans le cadre des scènes de musique EDM et de danse sociale, des discothèques et des raves.

S’inspirant d’un projet ethnographique et archivistique plus général sur les club cultures LGBTQ de Montréal, cet article porte sur les expériences historiques des femmes dans les club cultures entre les années 1950 et 1990. Des thèmes tels que le militantisme pour le droit à la nuit, les stratégies de territorialisation et d’autodétermination, le rôle de l’État, la participation musicale, la création et la technologie sont explorés en relation avec divers espaces de loisirs de la ville. Ces espaces comprennent le quartier Red Light, les premières discothèques gérées par des lesbiennes, « l’âge d’or » des établissements féministes et lesbiens dans les années 1980, et leur déclin avec l’émergence de la culture queer dans les années 1990.
Interiority and Agency: Exploring Self in Context with Others in the Act of Creation
Authors: Young Barbara
Published: August 2023

This investigation seeks to extend the discourse on interiority. I am an interior designer and, therefore, pose questions as they relate to design process, specifically that the concern regarding interiority is not necessarily something to design for, but as designers, it affects how and what we design. The presented cases are artistic explorations that provided an opportunity to interrogate interiority as it relates to my cognitive and creative process.  Through an auto-ethnographic account, I present two acts of making. In the creation process, I interrogate meaning-making and perception that constitutes my subjective interiority, which can only be understood in context. Using Maurice Merleau-Ponty to inform perception and Alfred Gell’s art nexus theory, derived from Peircean semiotics, I demonstrate how decisions, or judgements, are informed by my subjective interiority that has been formed by contextual experiences. Additionally, I argue that to understand interiority, we must move from perceived dichotomies such as interior and exterior, public and private, or individual and collective to viewing interiority and exteriority as continuous wholes.
How inhibitory and excitatory inputs gate output of the inferior olive

The inferior olive provides the climbing fibers to Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex, where they elicit all-or-none complex spikes and control major forms of plasticity. Given their important role in both short-term and long-term coordination of cerebellum-dependent behaviors, it is paramount to understand the factors that determine the output of olivary neurons. Here, we use mouse models to investigate how the inhibitory and excitatory inputs to the olivary neurons interact with each other, generating spiking patterns of olivary neurons that align with their intrinsic oscillations. Using dual color optogenetic stimulation and whole-cell recordings, we demonstrate how intervals between the inhibitory input from the cerebellar nuclei and excitatory input from the mesodiencephalic junction affect phase and gain of the olivary output at both the sub- and suprathreshold level. When the excitatory input is activated shortly (~50 ms) after the inhibitory input, the phase of the intrinsic oscillations becomes remarkably unstable and the excitatory input can hardly generate any olivary spike. Instead, when the excitatory input is activated one cycle (~150 ms) after the inhibitory input, the excitatory input can optimally drive olivary spiking, riding on top of the first cycle of the subthreshold oscillations that have been powerfully reset by the preceding inhibitory input. Simulations of a large-scale network model of the inferior olive highlight to what extent the synaptic interactions penetrate in the neuropil, generating quasi-oscillatory spiking patterns in large parts of the olivary subnuclei, the size of which also depends on the relative timing of the inhibitory and excitatory inputs.
Subcortico-amygdala pathway processes innate and learned threats

Behavioral flexibility and timely reactions to salient stimuli are essential for survival. The subcortical thalamic-basolateral amygdala (BLA) pathway serves as a shortcut for salient stimuli ensuring rapid processing. Here, we show that BLA neuronal and thalamic axonal activity in mice mirror the defensive behavior evoked by an innate visual threat as well as an auditory learned threat. Importantly, perturbing this pathway compromises defensive responses to both forms of threats, in that animals fail to switch from exploratory to defensive behavior. Despite the shared pathway between the two forms of threat processing, we observed noticeable differences. Blocking β-adrenergic receptors impairs the defensive response to the innate but not the learned threats. This reduced defensive response, surprisingly, is reflected in the suppression of the activity exclusively in the BLA as the thalamic input response remains intact. Our side-by-side examination highlights the similarities and differences between innate and learned threat-processing, thus providing new fundamental insights.

The cardiac

ion channel comprises KCNQ1, calmodulin, and KCNE1 in a dodecameric complex which provides a repolarizing current reserve at higher heart rates and protects from arrhythmia syndromes that cause fainting and sudden death. Pharmacological activators of

Ks

are therefore of interest both scientifically and therapeutically for treatment of

Ks

loss-of-function disorders. One group of chemical activators are only active in the presence of the accessory KCNE1 subunit and here we investigate this phenomenon using molecular modeling techniques and mutagenesis scanning in mammalian cells. A generalized activator binding pocket is formed extracellularly by KCNE1, the domain-swapped S1 helices of one KCNQ1 subunit and the pore/turret region made up of two other KCNQ1 subunits. A few residues, including K41, A44 and Y46 in KCNE1, W323 in the KCNQ1 pore, and Y148 in the KCNQ1 S1 domain, appear critical for the binding of structurally diverse molecules, but in addition, molecular modeling studies suggest that induced fit by structurally different molecules underlies the generalized nature of the binding pocket. Activation of

I
Ks

is enhanced by stabilization of the KCNQ1-S1/KCNE1/pore complex, which ultimately slows deactivation of the current, and promotes outward current summation at higher pulse rates. Our results provide a mechanistic explanation of enhanced

currents by these activator compounds and provide a map for future design of more potent therapeutically useful molecules.
