Published: May 2024

This study aimed to investigate the influence of ethical leadership on service delivery within uMhlathuze Local Municipality, Kwa-Zulu Natal. Despite having established codes of conduct for councilors and officials, instances of unethical behavior persist, eroding public trust and diminishing employee motivation. The detrimental impact of leaders' unethical conduct on the overall workforce diligence is noteworthy. Widespread corruption in numerous global government institutions, particularly in regions with lax policies, underscores the urgent need for ethical leadership in fostering good governance. However, scant research has delved into the specific context of Kwa-Zulu Natal, particularly examining the repercussions of ethical leadership on service delivery at uMhlathuze Local Municipality. To collect data, the researcher employed questionnaires, surveying a carefully chosen sample of 80 respondents from a broader population of 100 within the study area. The obtained field data underwent meticulous analysis using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 29, employing statistical tools such as frequency tables and graphs among others. Implications include recommendations for leadership development programs emphasizing ethical principles and strategies to reinforce a culture of integrity and effective communication.
Inventiveness as a Driver of Small and Medium-Sized Business Profitability in South Africa: A Quantile Regression Method
Authors: ALIAMUTU Kansilembo Freddy , MKHIZE Msizi
Published: May 2024

In South Africa, inventiveness is a critical factor in expansion and growth, and small and medium-sized businesses have been designated as tools for achieving the societal and economic objectives and innovation outlined in the National Development Plan. The aim of this research is to look at the impact of inventiveness on small and medium-sized profitability in South Africa. The quantile regression method was utilised in empirical studies to explore the influence of inventiveness on enterprise profitability across different sales stages. The research was based on data from the World Bank's business questionnaire. The research results showed that expenses on development and research had a positive and substantial influence on profitability for businesses with greater sales (fast expansion or bigger enterprises). Existing proof demonstrates that incorporating new items and services boosts profitability for businesses with low progress or tiny businesses. Based on empirical evidence, inventiveness is essential for the growth and development of small and medium-sized businesses. Smaller or low-growth businesses don't have the ability to make expenditures on R&D because of a shortage of funds, which could contribute to their low chances of surviving. Considering the significant cash investment needed for R&D expenditures, additional support could be offered to smaller businesses in less powerful sales expansion. Because of a lack of funding for R&D, smaller businesses are being driven to create new items and production procedures that do not require big financial commitments.

Marketing using the internet or electronic media has experienced a significant increase. The development of this technology is increasingly mushrooming because the internet makes it easier to search for information and communicate quickly and remotely. One of them is carrying out promotional activities on social media. The activity promoted on social media is UC Esports. UC Esport is one of the SMEs popular with many people because it plays MOBA games such as Mobile Legends, Valorant, PUBG, etc. UC Esport faces problems because fewer players are visiting UC Esport's Instagram to buy products and events. Therefore, researchers want to examine how UC Esport manages its Instagram account using social media theory and find out what UC Esport needs to improve in its Instagram account. This researcher used a quasi-qualitative research method. Data was collected using interview and documentation methods. The data is processed using the results of interviews, which are then transcribed, and all data is presented systematically. Then, the data will be validated using three triangulation data sources, which were collected from 3 sources in this research: managers, UC Esport followers, and UC Esport UKM leaders. After validation, researchers will conduct a reliability test. The reliability test used dependency and triangulation with experts to provide further information about this research. This research shows that UC Esport can manage an Instagram account, as evidenced by the many followers, merchandise purchases, and people participating in UC Esport activities.

This study aims to analyze the effect of fabrication and operational failure factors on equipment reliability. In addition, this study also examines the impact of fabrication and operational failure factors on Maintenance Technology 4.0 and the impact of Maintenance Technology 4.0 on equipment reliability. This quantitative research was conducted at the genset product of PT XYZ. The sample of this research is the technicians of PT XYZ spread in branches throughout Indonesia, who have run Maintenance Technology 4.0 in the repair and maintenance of gensets. A non-probability sampling method, namely convenience sampling, was used to get the sample used. The number of respondents was 102 technicians. The analytical tool used is SEM-PLS 4.0. The results prove that the fabrication and operational failure factors do not affect the equipment's reliability. In contrast, the fabrication failure factor does not affect Maintenance Technology 4.0 but differs from the operational failure factor, which influences Maintenance Technology 4.0. Next, Maintenance Technology 4.0 affects equipment reliability. Meanwhile, Maintenance Technology 4.0 mediates the effect of operational failure factors on equipment reliability. In addition, Maintenance Technology 4.0 does not mediate the impact of fabrication failure factors on equipment reliability.

The rapid social change in the world through global economic turmoil, social inequality, and degradation of the natural context triggered an increase in criticism of the marketing approach oriented towards the dimension of profit alone. The concept of modern marketing requires rebranding with sustainability issues, namely the sustainable marketing model. Marketers must present to consumers an active and responsible management attitude and openness and honesty in market communication. This study aims to investigate the influence of the application of sustainable marketing on purchasing decisions in zero waste shops, where purchase intention is a mediator. The dimensions of sustainable marketing include customer solution, customer cost, communication, and convenience. Quantitative research was undertaken by distributing survey questionnaires via google forms online. A total of 193 respondents were obtained from distributing questionnaires in Jakarta. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The analyses have proven that sustainable marketing positively affects purchase intention and purchase decisions. Purchase intention has a positive effect on purchase decision dan has functioned effectively as a mediator between sustainable marketing and purchase decision. This study contributes to a long-term-oriented marketing strategy by looking at the dynamics of healthy lifestyle changes that must be done quickly.
Detecting the Early Optical Flashes of Gamma-Ray Bursts with Small Telescope Arrays
Authors: Sadeh Iftach
Published: May 2024

We present an observational approach for the independent detection of the early optical emission of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). For this purpose, we explore the potential of the Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST). This array of small optical telescopes can be used to scan a wide region of the sky, and to focus on a smaller field of view with increased sensitivity, as needed. The modularity of the array facilitates dynamic scanning of multiple fields, by shifting telescope pointing directions with high cadence. This can significantly increase the effective sky-coverage of a blind survey on short timescales. For events associated with gamma-ray counterparts, the valuable early time data can supplement high-energy observations. Regardless of gamma-ray association, detections can potentially be used to explore various phenomena associated with GRBs, such as orphan afterglows; dirty fireballs; and choked jets. We simulate a sample of GRBs and their respective optical signals at early times. After accounting for dynamic cadence, the light curves are given as input to a machine-learning classifier, used to identify astrophysical transients. We find that, by dedicating half of an LAST array to a blind search, one would expect to independently detect 7–11 GRBs yr–1, corresponding to an approximate intrinsic event rate of 0.12 deg–2 yr–1.

Published: May 2024

White dwarf stars are ubiquitous in the Galaxy, and are essential to understanding stellar evolution. While most white dwarfs are photometrically stable and reliable flux standards, some can be highly variable, which can reveal unique details about the endpoints of low-mass stellar evolution. In this study, we characterize a sample of high-confidence white dwarfs with multi-epoch photometry from Gaia Data Release 3. We compare these Gaia light curves with light curves from the Zwicky Transiting Facility and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite to see when Gaia data independently can accurately measure periods of variability. From this sample, 105 objects have variability periods measured from the Gaia light curves independently, with periods as long as roughly 9.5 days and as short as 256.2 s (roughly 4 minutes), including seven systems with periods shorter than 1000 s. We discover 86 new objects from the 105 target samples, including pulsating, spotted, and binary white dwarfs, and even a new 68.4 minute eclipsing cataclysmic variable. The median amplitude of the absolute photometric variability we confirm from Gaia independently is 1.4%, demonstrating that Gaia epoch photometry is capable of measuring short-term periods even when observations are sparse.

Published: May 2024

A well-known property of solar wind plasma turbulence is the observed anisotropy of the autocorrelations, or equivalently the spectra, of velocity and magnetic field fluctuations. Here we explore the related but apparently not well-studied issue of the anisotropy of plasma density fluctuations in the energy-containing and inertial ranges of solar wind turbulence. Using 10 yr (1998–2008) of in situ data from the Advanced Composition Explorer mission, we find that for all but the fastest wind category, the density correlation scale is slightly larger in directions quasi-parallel to the large-scale mean magnetic field as compared to quasi-perpendicular directions. The correlation scale in fast wind is consistent with isotropic. The anisotropy as a function of the level of correlation is also explored. We find at small correlation levels, i.e., at energy-containing scales and larger, the density fluctuations are close to isotropy for fast wind, and slightly favor more rapid decorrelation in perpendicular directions for slow and medium winds. At relatively smaller (inertial range) scales where the correlation values are larger, the sense of anisotropy is reversed in all speed ranges, implying a more “slablike” structure, especially prominent in the fast wind samples. We contrast this finding with published results on velocity and magnetic field correlations.
The Low-mass Stellar Initial Mass Function in Nearby Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies

Published: May 2024

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) describes the distribution of stellar masses that form in a given star formation event. The long main-sequence lifetimes of low-mass stars mean that the IMF in this regime (below ∼ 1 M
⊙) can be investigated through star counts. Ultrafaint dwarf galaxies are low-luminosity systems with ancient, metal-poor stellar populations. We investigate the low-mass IMF in four such systems (Reticulum II, Ursa Major II, Triangulum II, and Segue 1), using Hubble Space Telescope imaging data that reaches to ≲ 0.2 M
⊙ in each galaxy. The analysis techniques that we adopt depend on the number of low-mass stars in each sample. We use Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests for all four galaxies to determine whether their observed apparent magnitude distributions can reject a given combination of IMF parameters and binary fraction for the underlying population. We forward model 1000 synthetic populations for each combination of parameters, and reject those parameters only if each of the 1000 realizations reject the null hypothesis. We find that all four galaxies reject a variety of IMFs, and the IMFs that they cannot reject include those that are identical, or similar, to that of the stellar populations of the Milky Way. We determine the best-fit parameter values for the IMF in Reticulum II and Ursa Major II and find that the IMF in Reticulum II is generally consistent with that of the Milky Way, while the IMF in Ursa Major II is more bottom heavy. The interpretation of the results for Ursa Major II is complicated by possible contamination from two known background galaxy clusters.

Published: May 2024

We report the discovery of two ultrafaint dwarf galaxies, Leo M and Leo K, that lie outside the halo of the Milky Way (MW). Using Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the resolved stars, we create color–magnitude diagrams reaching the oldest main-sequence turnoff of each system and (i) fit for structural parameters of the galaxies; (ii) measure their distances using the luminosity of the horizontal branch stars; (iii) estimate integrated magnitudes and stellar masses; and (iv) reconstruct the star formation histories. Based on their location in the Local Group, neither galaxy is currently within the halo of the MW although Leo K is located ∼26 kpc from the low-mass galaxy Leo T and these two systems may have had a past interaction. Leo M and Leo K have stellar masses of

Direct Imaging Detection of the Protoplanet AB Aur b at Wavelengths Covering Paβ
Authors: Currie Thayne
Published: May 2024

Recently, Biddle et al. claimed a non-detection of the protoplanet AB Aurigae b in Keck/NIRC2 Paβ imaging. I reprocess these newly public data and compare them to data from the extreme AO platform (SCExAO/CHARIS) used to discover AB Aur b. AB Aur b is decisively imaged with SCExAO/CHARIS at wavelengths covering Paβ. The Biddle et al. non detection of AB Aur b results from a far poorer image quality that is non competitive with SCExAO/CHARIS. Their contrast limits and thus constraints on accretion are overestimated due to an inaccurate AB Aur b source model. Irrespective of image quality, single-band Paβ imaging is ill suited to conclusively identify accretion onto AB Aur b. Instead, high-resolution Hα spectroscopy may provide accretion signatures. Aside from PDS 70, AB Aurigae remains the system with the strongest evidence for having a directly imaged protoplanet.
Length–weight relationships for 14 cypriniform freshwater fish species (Actinopterygii) from the Upper Mississippi River Basin
Authors: Bagley Justin , Breitman Maria Florencia
Published: May 2024

Here, we use long-term monitoring data from fisheries surveys across six Mississippi River reaches spanning >750 river miles to estimate length–weight relationships (LWRs) for 14 cypriniform fishes native to the Upper Mississippi River system. Relationships between log10-transformed values of fish total weights (g) and total lengths (cm) were analyzed using standard linear modeling and hypothesis testing approaches. Focal species included four North American minnows in family Leuciscidae [Notropis atherinoides Rafinesque, 1818, Paranotropis volucellus (Cope, 1865), Cyprinella lutrensis (Baird & Girard, 1853), and Notropis hudsonius (Clinton, 1824)] and 10 suckers in the family Catostomidae [Ictiobus niger (Rafinesque, 1819), Cycleptus elongatus (Lesueur, 1817), Moxostoma erythrurum (Rafinesque, 1818), Carpiodes velifer (Rafinesque, 1820), Carpiodes cyprinus (Lesueur, 1817), Carpiodes carpio (Rafinesque, 1820), Moxostoma carinatum (Cope, 1870), Moxostoma macrolepidotum (Lesueur, 1817), Ictiobus bubalus (Rafinesque, 1818), and Moxostoma anisurum (Rafinesque, 1820)]. Consistent with previous studies, estimates of parameter b were consistent with isometric or weakly allometric growth and ranged from 2.834 (P. volucellus) to 3.351 (C. elongatus), while parameter a estimates ranged from 0.00220 (C. elongatus) to 0.0144 (C. velifer).
Sovereignty conflicts in the European Union
Authors: Brack Nathalie , Coman Ramona , Crespy Amandine
Published: May 2024

Au cours de ces dernières décennies, la transformation graduelle de l’UE a soulevé une question essentielle : comment peut-on exercer un pouvoir partagé de façon collective et démocratique au sein d’une union supranationale qui se situe à mi-chemin entre une fédération et une organisation internationale ? Ces dernières années, le thème de la souveraineté s’est donc retrouvé, de façon latente ou explicite, au cœur des débats ayant secoué la politique européenne, que ce soit avec la crise migratoire, les débats entourant les plans de sauvetage de l’euro ou encore ceux relatifs au Brexit. Cela a entrainé un niveau de conflit sans précédent sur les valeurs qui sous-tendent les politiques communautaires et ce qui est perçu comme de nouvelles pertes de souveraineté. Dans le cadre de cette contribution, nous estimons que la souveraineté reste un concept fondamental pour saisir l’intégration européenne. Toutefois, les discours sur la souveraineté sont aujourd’hui fortement politisés : ils prennent la forme de conflits de souveraineté qui sont non seulement multidimensionnels mais aussi plus polarisants que jamais. Afin de contribuer aux débats sur la souveraineté et sa politisation, nous proposons une matrice qui permet d’expliquer comment, audelà de la répartition controversée des compétences entre Etats nations (souveraineté nationale) et l’UE (et sa forme embryonnaire de souveraineté supranationale), de nouveaux conflits de souveraineté émergent en impliquant deux autres types de souverainetés ancrés dans la tradition démocratique, à savoir les souverainetés parlementaire et populaire.

Alors que les citoyens de l’Union européenne ont voté en 2019 pour le 9ème fois pour élire leur Parlement, l’article s’interroge sur les « effets » de ce vote sur la politique de l’Union européenne. Faute de disposer, à la manière du sismologue, d’une échelle de Richter qui permettrait de traquer les effets telluriques des consultations électorales sur la tectonique des plaques européennes, on engage ici un jeu de piste à l’intérieur du centre de pouvoir européen pour suivre à la trace ce que le vote européen fait à l’Union. En reparcourant les différents sites de la négociation et de la décision européennes, on identifie les relais mais aussi les verrous et autres stabilisateurs automatiques qui déterminent l’onde de choc du vote européen, révélant par-là les traits singuliers d’un champ du pouvoir européen où la politique représentative apparaît comme l’éternel junior partner .
Unfolding the European Commission’s storytelling on ethical trade relations with Vietnam
Authors: Nessel Camille , Verhaeghe Elke
Published: May 2024

Cet article déconstruit le discours de la Commission européenne sur les relations commerciales entre l’Union européenne (UE) et le Vietnam. L’analyse se concentre en particulier sur les deux accords commerciaux les plus récents, qui partagent un récit commun au travers duquel l’UE se dépeint comme une force bienveillante. L’UE et le Vietnam, les deux personnages principaux de ce récit, s’efforcent de faire du commerce bilatéral « une force au service du bien », vivent des moments d’héroïsme mais sont aussi parfois, de manière éphémère, les victimes de ces luttes pour vaincre les forces du mal sur la voie du commerce éthique. L’analyse montre comment la Commission réitère essentiellement le récit du « développement » dont l’UE est le protagoniste principal, façonnant le monde selon ses propres valeurs. Ainsi, les problèmes rencontrés par sa politique commerciale doivent être résolus par le « développement » du Vietnam qui repose lui-même sur les outils au bienfondé supposément universel des politiques européennes. Ce récit laisse ainsi dans l’ombre les particularités des défis qui entravent la politique commerciale de l’Union européenne. Il ne permet pas d’identifier les véritables causes des obstacles rencontrés et détourne l’attention des incohérences et des conflits.

Le conflit entre Jung et Freud, dont il est difficile de démêler les enjeux théoriques des enjeux transférentiels, conduira ce dernier, en 1914, à une nouvelle étape de l’élaboration conceptuelle du narcissisme. Élaboration marquée par cette conflictualité et qui aboutit peu après à la reconnaissance de la compulsion de répétition. Depuis les vicissitudes conceptuelles du narcissisme, la question de la situation de la psychanalyse avance dans le temps, pour une actualité toujours plus brûlante et entropique. Elle porte la marque même de cette atemporalité de l’inconscient, la compulsion de répétition. Elle interroge essentiellement notre investissement de la psychanalyse tout en relançant sans cesse son potentiel intrinsèque de division depuis la place attribuée au sexuel infantile, depuis toujours en menace d’être destitué.
Avoir peur
Authors: Laurent Pierrette
Published: May 2024

Nous prenons, peu à peu et douloureusement, conscience du bouleversement qui s’annonce dans notre monde. Que deviennent alors les différents espaces psychiques quand l’angoisse interne est due à la réalité externe, quand ce que nous éprouvons est l’angoisse du réel, à différencier de l’angoisse du pulsionnel, selon Freud ? Comment considérer le travail psychique exigé par la rencontre de chacun avec ce nouvel environnement, cette nouvelle réalité externe ? En m’appuyant sur les rêves recueillis par Charlotte Béradt de 1933 à 1939, lors de l’installation du nazisme en Allemagne, et ceux relatés par Jean Cayrol à son retour du camp de Mauthausen, je vais essayer de rendre compte de ce qu’apportent les travaux de Piera Aulagnier, Geneviève Haag et René Kaës, à l’analyse de ces rêves.

Les avortements en délai dépassé
Authors: Mathieu Marie , Avarguez Sophie
Published: May 2024

À partir de deux enquêtes qualitatives mêlant des entretiens de femmes ayant avorté à l’étranger et des observations de parcours de femmes voulant interrompre une grossesse au-delà du seuil légal français, cet article révèle le travail abortif réalisé par les femmes pour obtenir un arrêt de grossesse au-delà du seuil inscrit dans la loi, dans ses différentes séquences et dimensions : le travail d’information sur les cadres légaux de l’avortement en France et à l’étranger, les lieux et les conditions de leur prise en charge ; le travail de collecte de l’argent qu’implique ce type d’intervention et le voyage qu’il suppose ; le travail cognitif qu’elles assurent et le travail émotionnel auquel elles ne peuvent se soustraire. En dévoilant les expériences peu connues d’avortement transfrontalier, cet article donne à voir les mécanismes, acteur·rices et outils facilitant ou entravant l’autonomie procréative des femmes en France.

Polyvalence du traducteur-interprète salarié : valeur ajoutée ou spécialisation dissipée ? (témoignages professionnels et perspectives académiques)
Authors: Boukhemis Leila
Published: May 2024

La présente étude met en exergue un fait professionnel inhérent au statut du traducteur-interprète salarié, il s’agit de la polyvalence des activités exécutées en dehors de la prestation linguistique. Notre problématique gravite autour de la nature même de la polyvalence, est-elle une valeur ajoutée pour le professionnel salarié ou bien menace-t-elle sa spécialisation linguistique et thématique ? Ainsi, comment pourrait-on préparer l’étudiant à la polyvalence des tâches pour un futur emploi ? Cela nécessite-il des outils et des objectifs d’apprentissage précis ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous avons collecté les types de tâches supplémentaires exécutées par l’employé salarié, sur la base d’une expérience personnelle dans une entreprise économique. Après recensement et analyse descriptive des données au cas par cas, nous avons pu conclure que la polyvalence est surtout constructive, car elle permet d’acquérir de multiples compétences. Aussi, les institutions académiques ne sauraient rester en marge de ces réalités professionnelles et pourraient/devraient contribuer à la formation de traducteurs-interprètes polyvalents, notamment sur le plan ergonomique et psychopédagogique. Pour ce faire, l’actualisation des contenus des unités transversales et des unités de découvertes, récemment intégrée dans le programme de formation des traducteurs-interprètes sur la base des besoins du marché (local et international) est très à propos. L’intégration des exercices de simulation dans les salles de classe est à ce propos, très avantageuse car elle met l’étudiant dans un contexte professionnel virtuel, dont l’objectif ultime est de réduire l’écart traditionnellement connu entre le milieu académique et le marché du travail.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that works towards using machines/computer programs to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence. Some of these tasks may include prediction, problem-solving, reasoning, and inferring. Some the most notable uses are protein structure prediction (AlphaFold2) and the prediction of disease-causing genetic mutations in primates (PrimateAI-3D). Machine learning models have also found use in diagnosis. A study showed that it is possible to get accurate diagnosis from limited amounts of data if the data is handled and processed properly. Overall, AI can be applied in a wide range of fields, given that accurate and sufficient data is provided, and this is just what is known. There are many more applications that might come up over time. This chapter aims to give a basic overview of machine learning algorithms used to train models and shed some light on how it is being used in the fields of biotechnology and biomedical engineering.
