Otto Weininger: the Theory Between Genius and Genida
Authors:   Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts, Russian Academy of Arts, Vaneyan Stepan S.
Published: December 2022

Otto Weininger’s book “Geschlecht und Charakter” (“Gender and Character”, 1903) is not only a monument of the epoch, but also a symptom of an epistemological kind. The transition from positivism and associative psychology to psychoanalysis and phenomenology was made at the personal level of an individual scientist, manifested very painfully through overcoming (not always successful) internal tensions of the creative person materialized in active misogyny and conscious “self-hatred” (anti-Semitism). Such extremes of an ideological and rhetorical kind are themselves paradoxical tools for criticizing traditional patriarchal values of European culture with innate masculine and biologically conditioned superiority. Weininger’s literary-critical experience is an example of unconscious idolatry, where the individual Ego, close to genius, is forced to perform or stage self-deification in the face of existential threats, which inevitably turns into self-exposure and self-abolition.
Follow-up of Young Stars Identified with BANYAN Σ: New Low-mass Members of Nearby Moving Groups
Authors: Stahl Asa G. , Johns-Krull Christopher M. , Flagg L.
Published: December 2022

The characterization of moving groups offers a powerful means to identify large populations of young stars. In this paper, we present a sample of follow-up observations for 56 systems that have previously been proposed as members of young stellar associations through the application of the BANYAN Σ kinematic classification tool. Our measurements, which probe seven different associations, provide a sample of 39 stellar systems that either are confirmed or appear consistent with being young members of their respective associations. Nineteen of these are single M dwarfs. This sample expands our knowledge of Upper Centaurus Lupus, Coma Berenices, and AB Doradus Major to cooler temperatures and also significantly increases the known population of the Carina-Near association. The young systems present excellent targets for future planet searches and would also be valuable for studies of star formation and evolution. Additionally, we find two stellar systems that show indications of being rare instances of late-stage circumstellar accretion. Lastly, our follow-up measurements serve as a test of BANYAN Σ, finding an overall contamination rate that is consistent with previous findings (29% for systems with RV measurements, 37% without).
Using Gravitational Waves to Distinguish between Neutron Stars and Black Holes in Compact Binary Mergers
Authors: Brown Stephanie M. , Capano Collin D. , Krishnan Badri
Published: December 2022

In 2017 August, the first detection of a binary neutron star merger, GW170817, made it possible to study neutron stars in compact binary systems using gravitational waves. Despite being the loudest gravitational-wave event detected to date (in terms of signal-to-noise ratio), it was not possible to unequivocally determine that GW170817 was caused by the merger of two neutron stars instead of two black holes from the gravitational-wave data alone. That distinction was primarily due to the accompanying electromagnetic counterpart. This raises the question: under what circumstances can gravitational-wave data alone, in the absence of an electromagnetic signal, be used to distinguish between different types of mergers? Here, we study whether a neutron star–black hole binary merger can be distinguished from a binary black hole merger using gravitational-wave data alone. We build on earlier results using chiral effective field theory to explore whether the data from LIGO and Virgo, LIGO A+, LIGO Voyager, the Einstein Telescope, or Cosmic Explorer could lead to such a distinction. The results suggest that the present LIGO–Virgo detector network will most likely be unable to distinguish between these systems even with the planned near-term upgrades. However, given an event with favorable parameters, third-generation instruments such as Cosmic Explorer will be capable of making this distinction. This result further strengthens the science case for third-generation detectors.

The abundance of 26Al carries a special role in astrophysics, since it probes active nucleosynthesis in the Milky Way and constrains the Galactic core-collapse supernovae rate. It is estimated through the detection of the 1809 keV γ-line and from the superabundance of 26Mg in comparison with the most abundant Mg isotope (A = 24) in meteorites. For this reason, high precision is necessary also in the investigation of the stable 27Al and 24Mg isotopes. Moreover, these nuclei enter the so-called MgAl cycle, playing an important role in the production of Al and Mg. Recently, high-resolution stellar surveys have shown that the Mg–Al anticorrelation in red-giant stars in globular clusters may hide the existence of multiple stellar populations, and that the relative abundances of Mg isotopes may not be correlated with Al. The common thread running through these astrophysical scenarios is the 27Al(p,α)24Mg reaction, which is the main 27Al destruction channel and directly correlates its abundance with the 24Mg one. Since available reaction rates show large uncertainties owing to the vanishingly small cross section at astrophysical energies, we have applied the Trojan Horse Method to deduce the reaction rate with no need of extrapolation. The indirect measurement made it possible to assess the contribution of the 84 keV resonance and to lower upper limits on the strength of nearby resonances. In intermediate-mass AGB stars experiencing hot bottom burning, a sizeable increase in surface aluminum abundance is observed at the lowest masses, while 24Mg is essentially unaffected by the change in the reaction rate.
A Molecular Gas Ring Hidden in the Sombrero Galaxy
Authors: Sutter Jessica , Fadda Dario
Published: December 2022

We present Herschel, ALMA, and MUSE observations of the molecular ring of Messier 104, also known as the Sombrero galaxy. These previously unpublished archival data shed new light on the content of the interstellar medium of M104. In particular, molecular hydrogen measured by CO emission and dust measured by far-infrared light are uniformly distributed along the ring. The ionized gas revealed by Hα and [C ii] emission is distributed in knots along the ring. Despite being classified as an SAa galaxy, M104 displays features typical of early-type galaxies. We therefore compared its [C ii] and dust emission to a sample of early-type galaxies observed with Herschel and SOFIA. The [C ii]/FIR ratio of M104 is much lower than that of typical star-forming galaxies and is instead much more similar to that of early-type galaxies. By classifying regions using optical emission line diagnostics, we also find that regions classified as H ii lie closer to star-forming galaxies in the [C ii]/FIR diagram than those classified as low-ionization emission regions. The good match between [C ii] and Hα emission, in conjunction with the lack of correlation between CO emission and star formation, suggests that there is very limited active star formation along the ring and that most of the [C ii] emission is from ionized and neutral atomic gas rather than molecular gas. From the total intensity of the CO line, we estimate a molecular hydrogen mass of 0.9 × 109
M
⊙, a value intermediate between those of early-type galaxies and the content of the molecular ring of our galaxy.
Properties of Globular Clusters in Galaxy Clusters: Sensitivity from the Formation and Evolution of Globular Clusters
Authors: Park So-Myoung , Shin Jihye , Smith Rory , Chun Kyungwon
Published: December 2022

We investigate the properties of globular clusters (GCs) in a galaxy cluster, using the particle tagging method with a semianalytical approach in a cosmological context. We assume GCs form from dark matter halo mergers and their metallicity is assigned based on the stellar mass of the host dark matter halos and the formation redshift of GCs. Dynamical evolution and disruption of GCs are considered using semianalytical approaches, controlled by several free parameters. In this paper, we investigate how our results are changed by the choice of free parameters. We compare our fiducial results with representative observations, including the mass ratio between the GC system and its host galaxy, the GC occupancy, the number fraction of blue GCs, and the metallicity gradient with the GC mass. Because we can know the positions of GCs with time, comparison with additional observations is possible, e.g., the median radii of the GC system in individual galaxies, the mean projected density profiles of intracluster GCs, and the metallicity and age gradients of GCs with a clustercentric radius. We also find that the specific mass of the GC system in each galaxy is different with a clustercentric radius.
A Census of Outflow to Magnetic Field Orientations in Nearby Molecular Clouds
Authors: Xu Duo , Offner Stella S. R. , Gutermuth Robert , Tan Jonathan C.
Published: December 2022

We define a sample of 200 protostellar outflows showing blue- and redshifted CO emission in the nearby molecular clouds Ophiuchus, Taurus, Perseus, and Orion, to investigate the correlation between outflow orientations and local, but relatively large-scale, magnetic field directions traced by Planck 353 GHz dust polarization. At high significance (p ∼ 10−4), we exclude a random distribution of relative orientations and find that there is a preference for alignment of projected plane of sky outflow axes with magnetic field directions. The distribution of relative position angles peaks at ∼30° and exhibits a broad dispersion of ∼50°. These results indicate that magnetic fields have dynamical influence in regulating the launching and/or propagation directions of outflows. However, the significant dispersion around perfect alignment orientation implies that there are large measurement uncertainties and/or a high degree of intrinsic variation caused by other physical processes, such as turbulence or strong stellar dynamical interactions. Outflow to magnetic field alignment is expected to lead to a correlation in the directions of nearby outflow pairs, depending on the degree of order of the field. Analyzing this effect, we find limited correlation, except on relatively small scales ≲0.5 pc. Furthermore, we train a convolutional neural network to infer the inclination angle of outflows with respect to the line of sight and apply it to our outflow sample to estimate their full 3D orientations. We find that the angles between outflow pairs in 3D space also show evidence of small-scale alignment.
Powerful Yet Lonely: Is 3C 297 a High-redshift Fossil Group?

The environment of the high-redshift (z = 1.408), powerful radio-loud galaxy 3C 297 has several distinctive features of a galaxy cluster. Among them, a characteristic halo of hot gas revealed by Chandra X-ray observations. In addition, a radio map obtained with the Very Large Array shows a bright hotspot in the northwestern direction, created by the interaction of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) jet arising from 3C 297 with its environment. In the X-ray images, emission cospatial with the northwestern radio lobe is detected, and peaks at the position of the radio hotspot. The extended, complex X-ray emission observed with our new Chandra data is largely unrelated to its radio structure. Despite having attributes of a galaxy cluster, no companion galaxies have been identified from 39 new spectra of neighboring targets of 3C 297 obtained with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph. None of the 19 galaxies for which a redshift was determined lies at the same distance as 3C 297. The optical spectral analysis of the new Gemini spectrum of 3C 297 reveals an isolated Type II radio-loud AGN. We also detected line broadening in [O ii] λ3728 with a FWHM about 1700 km s−1 and possible line shifts of up to 500–600 km s−1. We postulate that the host galaxy of 3C 297 is a fossil group, in which most of the stellar mass has merged into a single object, leaving behind an X-ray halo.

Acute pancreatitis is a common disease with multiple clinical and radiological manifestations, which sometimes might be very uncommon. Our case is an untypical case of extra-pancreatic complication in acute severe pancreatitis, which was misdiagnosed as incarcerated inguinal hernia on CT imaging and treated surgically. It illustrates the importance of every clinical feature in acute pancreatitis and the challenge of interpreting the radiological data.
Omega-3 fatty acids and atrial fibrillation
Authors: Huh Ji Hye , Jo Sang-Ho
Published: December 2022

Although some clinical trials have demonstrated reduced incidence of cardiovascular disease with the use of omega-3 fatty acids, others have found an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). AF is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia worldwide. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates and significant public health burden. Previous studies of the effect of omega-3 fatty acids on AF occurrence have reported contradictory results. Here we reviewed the effect of omega-3 fatty acids on the risk of AF.

Le grand précaire est en fait un endeuillé chronique. En situation de soins et en particulier en cas d’hospitalisation, les professionnels de santé peuvent être confrontés à des comportements atypiques difficiles à traiter. Leurs valeurs d’hospitalité peuvent être mises à mal, et l’expression d’une hostilité réciproque patient/soignant peut être constatée. C’est souvent par une lecture appliquée des enjeux interculturels que des situations difficiles peuvent avantageusement se dénouer.

Published: December 2022

Bien des recherches collaboratives nourrissent deux types d’ambitions : celle de mobiliser les savoirs expérientiels de personnes ayant une connaissance intime des inégalités sociales dans la recherche action, et celle d’encourager la réflexion systémique sur les forces et processus à l’œuvre dans la reproduction des inégalités sociales. À quel point ces deux ambitions sont-elles compatibles ? Pour aborder cette question, cet article prend appui sur CO-CREATE, un projet de recherche et d’expérimentation politique visant à renouveler les outils de promotion de la santé dans le champ des « saines habitudes de vie » des adolescents et des enfants. La mise en œuvre de ce projet permet l’observation et la discussion de la dimension politique de la prévention – ainsi que de diverses tensions qu’il est utile de connaître dans la perspective d’une version ambitieuse de la démocratisation de la prévention.

Les usages impromptus des agences pour l’emploi. Une comparaison francoallemande
Authors: Clouet Hadrien
Published: December 2022

Les agences publiques pour l’emploi sont des établissements publics accessibles et ouverts, en Allemagne comme en France. L’étude ethnographique permet d’y croiser des « usages impromptus », constitués d’individus sans rattachement institutionnel. Certains sont à la recherche d’une aide de la part des conseillers, essentiellement pour s’orienter ou traduire des documents. D’autres, au contraire, sont soucieux de tirer profit d’activités discrètes, à distance du guichet. Cet article montre que ces usages sont inégalement distribués entre les services publics d’emploi allemand et français, suivant les conditions de réception et de traitement des individus. Il interroge ainsi la capacité des services publics d’emploi à piloter leur activité à partir d’enquêtes de satisfaction qui ne peuvent que délaisser un nombre conséquent d’usages sociaux résultant d’adaptations secondaires du public fréquentant les lieux.

Le Chili a connu une forte contestation sociale en 2019 et 2020, qui a conduit à la fois à l’ouverture d’un processus visant à remplacer la Constitution de 1980 et à l’arrivée au pouvoir d’un nouveau président issu de la gauche, Gabriel Boric. Les travaux de la Convention constitutionnelle ont duré plus d’un an et ont abouti à un texte soumis à référendum. La population a rejeté massivement ce projet qui devait acter des avancées sociales majeures et permettre de tourner la page de la période Pinochet.
À l’est du Congo, les racines d’un quart de siècle de violence
Authors: Braeckman Colette
Published: December 2022

Près de 30 ans après le génocide des Tutsis au Rwanda, toute la région reste déstabilisée. Après l’arrivée de Paul Kagame au pouvoir, un million et demi de Hutus avaient fui en République démocratique du Congo. Ils représentaient pour le président rwandais une menace inacceptable. S’en sont suivies les deux guerres du Congo dont les séquelles sont encore visibles. Les récentes attaques perpétrées par les rebelles du M23 constituent un nouvel épisode de cette tragique histoire.
Les habitants non autonomes de la résidence autonomie, révélateurs des contradictions du modèle
Authors: Saray-Delabar Vattani
Published: December 2022

Créés en 1957, les logements-foyers ont été transformés en 2015 en résidences autonomie par la loi relative à l’adaptation de la société au vieillissement (ASV). Le recentrage des missions de ces établissements autour de la prévention de la perte d’autonomie a construit l’image d’un habitat regroupant exclusivement des personnes âgées autonomes. Cette étude, issue d’une immersion d’un an dans une résidence autonomie et structurée autour d’entretiens avec les membres de l’équipe de l’établissement, présente une réalité plus contrastée. Les résidences autonomie accueillent un public hétérogène, parfois dépendant, au sens du référentiel réglementaire, ou qui interroge les contours de l’autonomie, notamment pour les habitants en souffrance psychique. Les représentations sociales structurées autour de l’idéal de la personne âgée active et autonome, partagées en partie par les acteurs participant au fonctionnement et au contrôle des résidences autonomie, entrent donc en contradiction avec la diversité des situations rencontrées et les besoins qu’elles engendrent. La mise en tension des équipes qui en résulte et l’absence de moyens adaptés questionnent la capacité de la résidence autonomie à s’adapter à ses habitants et, plus généralement, la catégorisation des personnes âgées dans le cadre des politiques du vieillissement.
Towards a Political Sociology of Social Health Inequalities

In late 2021, in issue 3 of the Revue française des affaires sociales, Jean-Charles Basson, Nadine Haschar-Noé and Marina Honta devoted a dossier to “The Production of Social Health Inequalities” in which they emphasised the social construction of health inequalities, the undermining of the legitimate access to health-related rights and healthcare use, and lastly the political production of health. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the authors revisit their questions and launch an international call for the deconstruction of the social production of health discrimination. They are joined by Michelle Kelly-Irving and Cyrille Delpierre, whose work in social epidemiology contributes to the much-needed interdisciplinary understanding of the phenomenon.
A novel approach for the classification of diabetic maculopathy using discrete wavelet transforms and a support vector machine
Authors: Bangar Manisha , Chaudhary Prachi
Published: December 2022

The role of diabetes mellitus in deteriorating the visual health of diabetic subjects has been affirmed precisely. The study of morphological features near the macular region is the most common method of investigating the impairment rate. The general mode of diagnosis carried out by manual inspection of fundus imaging, is less effective and slow. The goal of this study is to provide a novel approach to classify optical coherence tomography images effectively and efficiently. discrete wavelet transform and fast fourier transform are utilized to extract features, and a kernel-based support vector machine is used as classifier. To improve image contrast, histogram equalization is performed. Segmentation of the enhanced images is performed using k-means clustering. The hybrid feature extraction technique comprising the discrete wavelet transform and fast fourier transform renders novelty to the study. In terms of classification accuracy, the system's efficiency is compared to that of earlier available techniques. The suggested approach attained an overall accuracy of 96.46 % over publicly available datasets. The classifier accuracy of the system is found to be better than the performance of the discrete wavelet transform with self organizing maps and support vector machines with a linear kernel.
A novel decision aid approach based on spherical hesitant fuzzy Aczel-Alsina geometric aggregation information
Authors: Khan Aziz , Ashraf Shahzaib , Abdullah Saleem , Ayaz Muhammad , Botmart Thongchai
Published: December 2022

Taking into account the significance of spherical hesitant fuzzy sets, this research concentrates on an innovative multi-criteria group decision-making technique for dealing with spherical hesitant fuzzy (SHF) situations. To serve this purpose, we explore SHF Aczel Alsina operational laws such as the Aczel-Alsina sum, Aczel-Alsina product and Aczel-Alsina scalar multiplication as well as their desirable characteristics. This work is based on the fact that aggregation operators have significant operative adaptability to aggregate the uncertain information under the SHF context. With the aid of Aczel-Alsina operators, we develop SHF Aczel-Alsina geometric aggregation operators to address the complex hesitant uncertain information. In addition, we describe and verify several essential results of the newly invented aggregation operators. Furthermore, a decision aid methodology based on the proposed operators is developed using SHF information. The applicability and viability of the proposed methodology is demonstrated by using a case study related to breast cancer treatment. Comprehensive parameter analysis and a systematic comparative study are also carried out to ensure the dependability and validity of the works under consideration.
Exact expression of ultimate time survival probability in homogeneous discrete-time risk model

In this work, we set up the generating function of the ultimate time survival probability $ \varphi(u+1) $, where

   \begin{document}$ \varphi(u) = \mathbb{P}\left(\sup\limits_{n\geqslant 1}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}\left(X_i- \kappa\right)<u\right), $\end{document}

$ u\in\mathbb{N}_0, \, \kappa\in\mathbb{N} $ and the random walk $ \left\{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}X_i, \, n\in\mathbb{N}\right\} $ consists of independent and identically distributed random variables $ X_i $, which are non-negative and integer-valued. We also give expressions of $ \varphi(u) $ via the roots of certain polynomials. The probability $ \varphi(u) $ means that the stochastic process

   \begin{document}$ u+ \kappa n-\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}X_i $\end{document}

is positive for all $ n\in\mathbb{N} $, where a certain growth is illustrated by the deterministic part $ u+ \kappa n $ and decrease is given by the subtracted random part $ \sum_{i = 1}^{n}X_i $. Based on the proven theoretical statements, we give several examples of $ \varphi(u) $ and its generating function expressions, when random variables $ X_i $ admit Bernoulli, geometric and some other distributions.
Reproduction of grey snapper (Teleostei: Lutjanidae) in the southern Gulf of Mexico

Published: December 2022

Snappers exhibit reproductive trait plasticity in response to habitat distribution. Lutjanus griseus is among the most economically important snappers in the western Central Atlantic but has received limited study in the region. Data on the reproductive biology of the L. griseus population were collected on the continental shelf of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. Over a nineteen-month period, 1236 specimens were captured monthly in three Yucatan artisanal fishing fleet operational areas. Data were grouped by month to generate an annual analysis. Individual sex and maturation status were identified by gonad histology. Median size did not differ between females (33.2 cm fork length [FL]) and males (33.3 cm FL), and the sex ratio was balanced (F:M=0.98:1.00). Size at maturity was 24.2 cm FL for females (38% of maximum size reported for the species) and 22.8 cm FL for males (36% of maximum size), and the spawning season ran from May to September. The results confirm that this population exhibits the typical reproductive pattern of snappers distributed on continental shelves or in shallow water areas and provide critical data for stock assessment and implementation of management measures for L. griseus stock in the southern Gulf of Mexico.
Spatial variability of life-history parameters of the Atlantic chub mackerel (Scomber colias), an expanding species in the northeast Atlantic

Published: December 2022

Atlantic chub mackerel is a pelagic species present in the Atlantic Ocean that in recent decades has expanded northwards in the eastern Atlantic. Fish samples were collected in scientific surveys and commercial catches between 2011 and 2019. We analysed the geographical variation of the biological parameters (age, length, weight and condition), as well as the length-weight relationship, maturity-at-length and spawning season onset and duration in five geographical areas (from south to north): the Canary Islands, Gulf of Cadiz, western Portuguese coast, northwestern Spanish coast and Cantabrian Sea. The influence of sea surface temperature (SST) on fish length was modelled as a potential driver of geographical variability. All biological parameters increased progressively northwards, while the spawning season was delayed and prolonged with increasing latitude, from January in the Canary Islands to May-August in the Cantabrian Sea, when SST was between 15°C and 19°C. SST had a positive effect on length in three study areas and a negative one in two of them, suggesting that each group is at a different position within their thermal tolerance range. Deviance from the geographical pattern of some biological parameters in the Gulf of Cadiz suggests that it could be a hinge or mixing zone between Atlantic African, Mediterranean and Atlantic Iberian population components.
Influence of maternal effects and temperature on fecundity of Sebastes fasciatus on the Flemish Cap
Authors: González-Carrión Francisco , Saborido-Rey Fran
Published: December 2022

The conservation of a sufficient reproductive potential of an exploited stock is one of the goals of fisheries management, as it ensures sustainable productivity. However, there is evidence that spawning stock biomass (SSB) does not represent well the variation in stock reproductive potential, often leading to impaired stock-recruitment relationships. In this study we show that fecundity of Sebastes fasciatus on Flemish Cap is not proportional to SSB and shows temporal fluctuation influenced by maternal effects. Females were collected in 23 research surveys between 1996 and 2020. An autodiametric calibration model was developed for S. fasciatus for the first time to estimate fecundity. Mean potential fecundity was estimated as 36000 oocytes and mean relative fecundity as 79 oocytes g–1. Potential fecundity varied significantly with female length, age, condition index, gonadosomatic index and environmental variability. Mixed-effect linear models were fitted to assess the effect of maternal traits and bottom temperature on fecundity. Fecundity increased significantly with condition factor and sea bottom temperature. Relative fecundity also increased significantly with length, age and gonadosomatic index, indicating that older, larger and better-conditioned females produce more eggs per female gram. This suggests that SSB is not a good proxy to stock reproductive potential so it is unsuitable for use in stock assessment and scientific advice. Considering that S. fasciatus is a viviparous species, future research should focus on maternal effects on offspring and on building time series of reproductive potential indexes that take into account maternal effects.
La seconde mort de l’ennemi. Dégradation de cadavre, interdiction de sépulture et destruction des restes humains dans la Rome antique
Authors: Laborde-Menjaud Claire
Published: December 2022

L’application d’une peine après la mort du condamné est rare dans la Rome antique. Toutefois, lorsque les actions du criminel ou du traitre menacent les fondements de la société, une condamnation de la mémoire est mise en œuvre. Cette condamnation se traduit de différentes manières et emporte des effets directs et indirects sur le condamné. Les effets directs se concentrent sur le corps ennemi. Ils consistent en la mort infamante, l’outrage au cadavre ou la destruction des restes humains. Les effets indirects atteignent l’honneur du défunt et cherchent à l’exclure de l’histoire de Rome. Ils se traduisent par la prohibition des cérémonies commémoratives, l’interdiction de la sépulture et la destruction des portraits de l’ennemi. Cette palette de sanctions permet à la société d’exprimer sa violence avant de se reconstruire.

La conquête de l’Irlande, faite par des familles anglo-normandes venant du Pays de Galles au XIIe siècle, a vite tourné au profit des rois d’Angleterre. Henri II obtient du pape Adrien IV l’autorisation de conquérir l’île par la bulle Laudabiliter datée de 1175 mais probablement donnée en 1155. Cette conquête entraine l’installation de familles anglo-normandes en Irlande. Ces dernières sont soumises au droit anglais. Les Irlandais sont quant à eux toujours régis par leur propre droit, à quelques exceptions près. Dès lors, deux systèmes juridiques coexistent sur l’île. Quelques siècles plus tard, force est de constater que certains seigneurs anglais ont délaissé tout ou partie du droit anglais au profit du droit irlandais. Cette « gaélicisation » va être fortement critiquée, principalement sous les Tudor et au début des Stuart. Derrière ces critiques, parfois violentes, se cachent des enjeux politiques. Le droit n’est plus seulement un outil au service des ambitions politiques de ceux qui le manipulent mais un marqueur permettant de distinguer les sujets loyaux des rebelles, les sujets civilisés des barbares œuvrant contre l’intérêt général, celui du gouvernement anglais de l’Irlande. Sous la plume des observateurs anglais et des hommes de l’administration de la Couronne, les seigneurs gaélicisés deviennent la figure de la déchéance de la civilité anglaise face à la sauvagerie des Irlandais. À ce titre, leur appartenance même au monde des hommes est remise en cause métaphoriquement parlant, les mettant ainsi hors-la-loi.
Justiciabilité et droit international privé québécois : les statuts matrimoniaux libanais
Authors: Saint-Onge Simon , Helly Denise
Published: December 2022

Depuis l’arrêt de la Cour suprême du Canada, Bruker c. Marcovitz, des clauses matrimoniales peuvent traduire des obligations normatives religieuses ou culturelles en obligations valides et exécutoires en mobilisant la doctrine ou notion de justiciabilité. Cette notion, qui repose sur des règles, des normes, ainsi que des principes jurisprudentiels, permet de délimiter le champ d’application de l’intervention judiciaire dans la vie socio-culturelle. Il est ici soutenu qu’elle mérite d’être examinée en droit international privé québécois, car l’articulation entre la justiciabilité et l’extranéité normative permettrait la prise en compte d’une norme étrangère lors de litiges familiaux entre des parties d’origine immigrée. Cette hypothèse est appliquée dans l’analyse du traitement par les tribunaux québécois de litiges matrimoniaux entre immigrants libanais de différentes confessions minoritaires.
Sur le déni de qualification juridique du corps vivant
Authors: Omeonga wa Kayembe Naomi
Published: December 2022

Il y a bientôt trente ans déjà, dans son essai à propos du corps (L’affaire de la main volée : Une histoire juridique du corps, Seuil, 1993), le Professeur Baud (1943-2010), éminent historien du droit soutient, qu’au « XIXe siècle, la désincarnation du droit semble être enfin devenue le grand œuvre du droit civil ». Le corps de l’homme a vu en particulier sa définition juridique soigneusement niée depuis l’avènement du Code civil. En dépit de ses régulières convulsions déclenchées par le non-dit de l’appartenance du corps humain à la personne qu’il incarne, la position de principe du droit n’a pas fléchi. Nous tenterons d’étudier les mécanismes et la portée du déni de qualification juridique du corps de l’homme en vie, dans la science juridique contemporaine.
La distinction entre torture ordinaire et extraordinaire : Une modulation de la douleur judiciaire en France (XVIe-xviiie siècles)
Authors: Chamot Cyrielle
Published: December 2022

La traditionnelle summa divisio entre ordinaire et extraordinaire revêt diverses formes et est notamment observée dès le XVIe siècle concernant la torture lors de l’instruction. Cette dichotomie entre géhenne ordinaire et extraordinaire s’insère dans un ensemble de plusieurs classifications visant à intensifier progressivement la souffrance judiciaire afin d’obtenir les aveux des prévenus. La question fait alors l’objet d’une réglementation approfondie ayant pour but d’encadrer les tourments et d’éviter tout abus de la part des agents de justice. La distinction entre torture ordinaire et extraordinaire a des répercussions d’ordre matériel conséquentes pour le suspect qui peut ainsi être atteint dans son intégrité corporelle à des degrés variables. La question ordinaire s’avère plus douce et constitue généralement un prélude à la question extraordinaire plus rigoureuse, leurs modalités dépendant naturellement des époques et des ressorts judiciaires. La justification d’une telle différence de traitement repose en principe sur la volonté d’épargner une certaine catégorie de personnes plus faibles telles que les femmes, les malades, les vieillards etc., ceux-ci ne subissant alors que la torture ordinaire. A contrario, les accusés de sexe masculin en bonne santé subissent généralement la question ordinaire, puis la question extraordinaire. L’intensité de la douleur que peuvent subir les corps tourmentés peut ainsi considérablement fluctuer selon l’état ou la condition des prévenus. Ces deux degrés de torture représentent donc des étapes distinctes et/ou complémentaires de la procédure inquisitoire. Or, il ressort de l’analyse des sources et des actes de la pratique que géhenne ordinaire et extraordinaire sont presque systématiquement employées ensemble et deviennent quasiment indissociables. L’extraordinaire s’avère alors être la norme en matière de torture et s’inscrit dans un mouvement de généralisation de la douleur maximale dans le cadre de la recherche de la vérité. Au nom de cette dernière, les corps des prévenus sont alors profondément dégradés.
L’excision, entre coutume et mutilation

Cet article s’intéresse à la question des MGF (mutilations génitales féminines). Pour ce faire, il faudra en premier lieu dresser un historique de l’excision afin d’en comprendre la genèse. Ces leçons du passé nous serviront à expliquer les différents fondements des MGF. C’est-à-dire saisir les motivations des personnes imposant l’excision. L’observation stricte des préceptes religieux, en particulier dans l’Islam, et le respect de la tradition sont les raisons les plus communément invoquées par les partisans des MGF.
The Gondola: a boat to respond to the history, and the morpho-dynamics of the Venice Lagoon
Authors: Camuffo Dario
Published: December 2022

Origin and evolution of the gondola have been reconstructed from historical and documentary written and pictorial sources (figures in books, engravings and paintings), in relation to the physical environment of the Lagoon, its morpho-dynamics with shallow and deep waters, marshes and canals. Particular care has been applied to the physical and hydrodynamic aspects in order to interpret the data and understand how the ancient Venetians could have had an advanced knowledge of the tidal range from sea stairs, tidal phase from the algae colour and direction, bottom depth from surface ripples, and exchanges between the Lagoon and the sea from suspended debris. The various elements of the boat are considered in terms of use and physical advantage, e.g. rowing style, cabin, hull and decorations. The boat evolution has been followed and documented over the centuries. This study clarifies the original shape of the gondola in the 11th century, from the analysis of the contemporary manuscripts and Byzantine mosaics in Ravenna and Venice, and a tablet of the early 14th century. In the 16th century, the gondola changed shape and size. The reason of this restyling was unknown, but has been found in the contemporary edicts, diaries and chronicles and other historical sources. The transformation was kept as a military secret, as well the production of a fleet of small boats provided of rostrums to sail on the rivers Po and Adige and fight against Ferrara and its Allies of the League of Cambrai. A comparison with the Viking- Norman vessels of Bayeux, Palermo and some codices show several strong analogies with the military gondolas of the 16th century. An overview of the written and pictorial sources has allowed to classify the various gondola types and recognize several technical details. Finally, the size and depth have been considered to interpret the ancient chronicles that mentioned that in the occasion of the most extreme storm surges, the gondolas could ride on San Marco Square, i.e. the flooding water depth necessary to float and to navigate over street paving.

High purity, micro, and nano size Ag2O nanostructure films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition on the quartz substrates at different pulsed laser Energies. The Ag2O cubic structure is supported by structural and optical features, with the primary diffraction occurring from the (002) plane. The obtained band gap energy was around 2.25eV, and optical features indicate the temporal dependency of the energy gab.

Published: December 2022

Herein, for the first time, we investigate the adsorption performance of nanoZn benzenedicarboxylate metal-organic framework (nanoMOF-5) as an efficient adsorbent material for Cr (VI) decontamination from polluted water. The synthesized Zn MOF-5 was fully characterized via FT-IR, XRD, HRTEM, BET, and TGA techniques. Moreover, the prepared Zn MOF-5 revealed a prominent surface area of 1169.32 m2 g-1, demonstrating its ability to be utilized as a capable adsorbent material. The adsorption profile of Cr (VI) onto the fabricated Zn MOF-5 was performed against the various parameters such as contact time, dosage, and initial Cr (VI) concentration. The optimum dosage from the Zn MOF-5 for 81.03% adsorption of 25 ppm Cr (VI) was 0.5 g L-1 at pH=7 after 15 min. The Cr (VI) decontamination performance of the synthesized Zn MOF-5 recorded the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 91.22 mg/g. These data demonstrated that the synthesized nanoZn MOF-5 is a promising adsorbent material for the removal of Cr (VI) from wastewater. Keywords: Zinc Metal-Organic Framework (MOF-5), Cr (VI) Decontamination, Isotherm and Kinetics, Recyclability.

Hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a severe and dangerous complication in patients admitted with COVID-19, causing significant morbidity and mortality globally. However, the early detection and subsequent management of high-risk cases may prevent disease progression and improve clinical outcomes. This study was undertaken in order to identify predictors of mortality in COVID-19 associated HAP. A retrospective study was performed on all patients who were admitted to a tertiary care center with COVID-19 associated HAP from July 2020 till November 2020. Data was collected on relevant demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters to determine their association with in-hospital mortality. 1574 files were reviewed, out of which 162 were included in the final study. The mean age of subjects was 59.4 ± 13.8 and a majority were male (78.4%). There were 71 (48.3%) mortalities in the study sample. Klebsiella pneumoniae (31.5%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (30.2%) were the most common organisms overall. Clinically significant growth of Aspergillus sp. was observed in 41 (29.0%) of patients. On univariate analysis, several factors were found to be associated with mortality, including male gender (p=0.04), D-dimers >1.3mg/L (p<0.001), ferritin >1000ng/mL (p<0.001), LDH >500I.U/mL (p<0.001) and procalcitonin >2.0ng/mL (p<0.001). On multivariate analysis, ferritin >1000ng/mL, initial site of care in Special Care Units or Intensive Care Units, developing respiratory failure and developing acute kidney injury were factors independently associated with mortality in our patient sample. These results indicate that serum ferritin levels may be a potentially useful biomarker in the management of COVID-19 associated HAP.
