Influencia en las Propiedades Mecánicas de Ladrillos Artesanales al Incorporar Caucho Triturado en la Fabricación.
Authors: Arriagada Urzúa Gladys , Avila Treviño Jazmin Anai , Figueroa Meriño Juan
Published: December 2024

Los componentes de los neumáticos no son biodegradables, por lo tanto, afectan el ambiente donde están depositados y constituyen un peligro, por generar focos de incendios en áreas de depósitos, generando enormes nubes tóxicas con gases como lo son el monóxido de carbono, dióxido de carbono y dióxido de azufre. Con el fin de revalorizar estos residuos, la propuesta de este trabajo es utilizar el neumático triturado en pequeñas partículas en la confección de ladrillos artesanales. La fabricación fue realizada de manera manual en la ciudad de Cauquenes (Chile) por un grupo de ladrilleros y la incorporación del caucho fue en reemplazo de un volumen específico de la arcilla, precisamente en 10% y 20%, quedando de este modo tres tipos de ladrillos, considerando el ladrillo base con su composición de 100% arcilla. Los resultados arrojaron que los ladrillos con 10% de caucho tuvieron el mejor desempeño, ya que tienen una resistencia a la compresión de 4,39 MPa superando en un 4,03% a la muestra patrón, cumpliendo el 22% máximo de absorción de agua obteniendo un 18,01% y su conductividad térmica es un 28% menor que el ladrillo tradicional, por lo que sería una excelente alternativa ecológica y sustentable.
Estrategia de búsqueda y rescate con robots colaborativos basada en anti feromonas y decisiones aleatorias
Authors: Henríquez Mercado José Luis
Published: December 2024

Este estudio aborda la problemática de optimizar la búsqueda de víctimas en escenarios de desastre mediante robots inspirados en el comportamiento de las hormigas faraón. La investigación se justifica por la necesidad de reducir los tiempos de búsqueda en áreas complejas, y como tal, el objetivo es determinar el número óptimo de robots para explorar laberintos, bloquear caminos sin salida y encontrar una víctima de manera eficiente.
Se realizaron varias pruebas en un simulador con escenarios de distinto tamaño, variando la cantidad de robots. Los robots obstruyen caminos sin salida utilizando anti feromonas, y al encontrar a la víctima, un algoritmo BFS (búsqueda en anchura) entra en funcionamiento para determinar la ruta más corta hacia ella. Se registraron los tiempos y se calculó el promedio de las corridas por cada configuración en los distintos escenarios.
Los resultados mostraron que el número óptimo de robots varía según el tamaño del escenario, y que utilizar más robots de los necesarios genera embotellamientos que incrementan los tiempos. En la prueba con un área mayor, siete robots lograron encontrar a la víctima en 37 segundos y trazaron la ruta más corta en todas las corridas.
El estudio concluye que el número de robots debe equilibrarse con el tamaño del escenario, ya que más robots no siempre reducen los tiempos. Las anti feromonas fueron clave para evitar caminos sin salida, y se sugieren futuros estudios con algoritmos avanzados y entornos tridimensionales.

En conclusión, este estudio destaca que la integración de estas tecnologías no solo optimiza la experiencia educativa, sino que redefine cómo los estudiantes construyen y validan su conocimiento. No obstante, se reconocen desafíos como la necesidad de capacitación docente y la garantía de un uso ético y responsable.
Influencia de las Conductas Disruptivas en el Aprendizaje Significativo del bachillerato: Una perspectiva docente
Authors: Mosquera Castillo María Maribel
Published: December 2024

La creciente preocupación sobre las conductas disruptivas se encuentra justificada a nivel internacional. Surge la necesidad de un constante monitoreo y evaluación para identificar estrategias efectivas para mejorar el manejo de estas conductas y, en consecuencia, el aprendizaje significativo. El objetivo principal del estudio fue determinar la influencia de las conductas disruptivas en el aprendizaje significativo de estudiantes de bachillerato de una institución educativa de Colombia. Se empleó una metodología cuantitativa, descriptiva y explicativa, utilizando encuestas suministradas a 47 docentes de bachillerato para recolectar datos sobre las conductas disruptivas y aprendizaje significativo entre los estudiantes. Los resultados revelaron que el 79.55% de los estudiantes mostró conductas disruptivas en un nivel intermedio, mientras que el 20.45% se ubicó en un nivel bajo. Las dimensiones más frecuentes fueron la inatención y la hiperactividad, mientras que las conductas de oposición y antisociales se presentaron en niveles bajos. En cuanto al aprendizaje significativo, la mayoría de los estudiantes se ubicó en un nivel intermedio (86.37%), con un 11.36% en nivel alto y un 2.27% en nivel bajo. Se concluye que las conductas disruptivas influyen en el aprendizaje significativo al limitar la atención y las oportunidades de aprendizaje, lo que, a la par, puede llevar a un bajo rendimiento académico. Finalmente, los hallazgos reflejan la necesidad de la implementación de estrategias de manejo del aula y métodos de enseñanza adaptados a las necesidades individuales de los estudiantes, lo cual es esencial para mejorar el ambiente de aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico.
Learning Strategies Motivation Tadarus, Dzikir, And Prayer
Authors: Lubis Mira Anggina , Lubis Suci Asnia , Namini  , Iswandi
Published: December 2024

This article contains a discussion of learning strategies for enforcing rules through learning. Learning strategies are the steps taken by teachers to utilize existing resources to achieve learning goals effectively and efficiently. PAI learning strategies are traditional strategies, free strategies, reflective strategies and internal strategies. The method used in this journal is a qualitative descriptive method, with a library research approach. Based on the discussion in this journal, it can be concluded that the motivation learning model is through Tadarus, Dhikr and Prayer. A teacher must be a motivator or a good example for students to emulate. Motivation makes a huge contribution to education in worship, morals, arts and so on. And to implement these worship activities, a teacher can provide understanding or material so that students know how important it is to carry out worship activities. Apart from that, the teacher can also convey the benefits of these worship activities and the last thing is to practice these worship activities at school. In other words, in the exemplary learning process the factors that influence learning outcomes must be taken into account by the model. Because the best learning model is applied but without the attention, interest, motivation and activeness of students, the learning results obtained are not optimal. However, if the learning model is applied in learning and pays attention to the factors that influence learning outcomes, then learning outcomes will be maximized.

Published: December 2024

Modern measuring instruments are today softwareoriented and rely entirely on information and computer technologies. Virtual instruments or, to be more precise, microprocessor-based measurement devices usually consist of a general purpose PC or Laptop computer and various types of measuring cards. Measurements are generally reduced to writing programs in different program packages, such as: LabVIEW, Matlab, and the like. For this reason, engineers and scientists are extremely interested in the high level of computer and information technology, as this will ensure that their measuring devices have superior performance. In this paper, methods that enable multithreaded programming in the LabVIEW program have been analysed and compared. Multithread programming allows parallel execution of tasks and significantly accelerates the data acquisition process in measuring applications.

TURNING CASSAVA PEELS FROM WASTE TO WEALTH: A REVIEW
Authors: Lituli Bonganga Thouthou , Mananga Nkodi Timothéé , Sungula Kayembe Jean , Kalulu Taba Muzele
Published: December 2024

Cassava roots Treatment for food or starch, leaves a large amount of solid wastes such as peels and stillages which are indiscriminately discharged into the environment and amassed as waste dumps on sites where cassava (Manihot esculenta) is processed. All types of cassava wastes produced during the process or peeling are decomposed to generate obnoxious gas and unpleasant odor, enhancing the risk of environmental pollution which is dangerous for the living being and water resources. However, cassava peels as lignocellulosic wastes could be used as starting matter to be converted into the value-added bioproducts. This review article highlights and bring to date different conversion processes of cassava peels used to obtain biofuels (bioethanol and biogas) and activated carbon. The peels could be used to prepare animal feed and as substrate for mushrooms culture. Besides, it is possible to convert cassava peels starch into biodegradable bioplastic. Using cassava wastes as raw matter to produce value-added products could save free for more years our world to environmental pollution.
Apprentissage par renforcement multi-agents pour la régulation de la circulation routière dans les carrefours : application à la mobilité urbaine dans la ville de Kinshasa
Authors: Diumi Omokoko Delvin
Published: December 2024

Urban mobility in the city of Kinshasa is becoming a serious problem given the congestion of the roads by vehicles and pedestrians, leaving its users with various concerns. How can road traffic be regulated in such a way as to make automobile traffic smooth and safe? Several techniques or methods have been developed to solve this problem, such as light signals, variable message signs, presence of traffic police, etc. In this article we plan to propose the technique of light lights integrated into intelligent transport systems.

This regulation technique works in a multi-agent environment, the main agent of which remains the traffic controller. This agent is in fact equipped with two very important elements including lights (effectors) and sensors (detectors). This union produces an available, safe, fast, comfortable and economical regulation service to its environment (vehicles and pedestrians). To make this system intelligent, we used one of the machine learning techniques called reinforcement learning. This technique helped us train our agents through the trial-and-error process using our table of values called (Q-values). The following methods were used: the Multi-agent System Engineering (MaSE) method to set up the multi-agent system, the yolov7 model for real-time object detection and the Q-Learning algorithm for learning.

We have thus built a model which regulates road traffic according to traffic and major priorities but not according to the timer system or non-adaptive regulation as is the case for other models. We chose a game of 1000 episodes to simulate our model and we noted that after training our model, the agent gradually acquires performance from negative to positive score, which means that our model is good and the agent actually learns.
ENHANCED PRUNING FOR DISTRIBUTED CLOSENESS CENTRALITY UNDER MULTI-PACKET MESSAGING
Authors: Manya Patrick , Ngoie T Gothy , Mbuyi Eugene , Masakuna Jordan F
Published: December 2024

In recent years, identifying central nodes in large-scale complex networks has become a critical task, with applications ranging from social network analysis to traffic routing. While closeness centrality is a commonly used metric, its decentralized computation—especially in large networks—poses significant challenges due to high communication overhead. Previous approaches, such as pruning, aim to approximate centrality efficiently but often overlook the cost of exchanging multiple data packets in distributed settings. In this paper, we enhance the pruning method (a distributed approach for identifying central nodes using closeness centrality) by addressing this communication bottleneck. Specifically, we introduce a technique that leverages multi-packet messaging, reducing data loss and improving running times without compromising the accuracy of centrality estimates. Our approach also optimizes the communication load, leading to fewer exchanged messages overall. Empirical evaluation demonstrates that our method outperforms the original pruning technique in both message efficiency and computation time, while preserving the key properties of the baseline method. However, we also observe trade-offs in terms of increased memory usage and overhead, which we discuss in relation to network size and packet complexity. Our findings offer a more efficient solution for decentralized closeness centrality computation, presenting a promising direction for scalable network analysis.
Wealth as a Determinant of Power: A Case Study of Matriarchy with Reference to the Novel Roots and Shadows
Authors:   Sona College of Arts and Science, Ilangovan Dr.I.Abinaya
Published: December 2024

In the captivating novel "Roots and Shadows" by Shashi Despande, we delve into the intricate life of Indu, a young woman who finds herself at odds with the constraints imposed by her traditional upbringing by the matriarch Akka, the prominent character in the novel. The research aims to assess whether wealth plays a significant role in granting power, regardless of an individual's gender. In addition, it examines the impact of societal power structures on individuals' rights and treatment. By exploring the dynamics of patriarchy and matriarchy, the research seeks to shed light on how these systems may contribute to discrimination and suffering experienced by characters. Furthermore, the investigation into the role of money as a determinant of power is a compelling aspect of the study which has been compared with other similar characters from various novels. The major issues related to the dominance based on power are analysed.
Unsung Women Freedom Fighters of Sivaganga District
Authors:   Alagappa University, Bargana Dr.R.Shrien
Published: December 2024

The freedom struggle in India is often narrated through the actions of prominent male leaders, overshadowing the pivotal contributions of women, especially in rural regions. This abstract explores the unsung heroines of Sivaganga District, Tamil Nadu, who played crucial roles in India's fight for independence but remain largely unrecognized in mainstream historical accounts. Sivaganga District, a region with a rich historical tapestry, was home to several courageous women whose activism and sacrifices significantly impacted the freedom movement. These women, operating from the backdrop of their socio-cultural constraints, engaged in various forms of resistance against British colonial rule. Their activities included organizing protests, mobilizing local communities, and participating in clandestine operations to undermine colonial authority. Key figures from this district, such as Sundarammal, Parvathi Ammal, and Rukmani, exhibited extraordinary resilience and leadership. Sundarammal, for instance, led loca l protests and faced severe repression but remained steadfast in her commitment to the cause. Parvathi Ammal’s efforts in grassroots mobilization and Rukmani’s contributions in clandestine communications exemplify the diverse methods these women employed to challenge colonial rule. Despite their significant contributions, these women have been largely neglected in historical narratives. This abstract highlights the need for a more inclusive history that recognizes and honors the role of such unsung heroines. By rediscovering and documenting their stories, we can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the freedom struggle and ensure that these remarkable women receive the recognition they rightfully deserve. This exploration not only contributes to the broader historical discourse but also serves as an inspiration for contemporary and future generations, emphasizing the critical role of women in shaping the course of history.

A hospice ellátás a gyógyíthatatlan betegeknek életük utolsó szakaszában nyújtott segítség. Átfogó célja a beteg életminőségének javítása. Fontos jellemzője a kínzó testi tünetek, fájdalmak enyhítése, emellett az a törekvés, hogy a beteg és családja a lehető legjobb lelkiállapotban maradjanak, valamint a társas és spirituális igények megismerése, a segítségnyújtás. Ezért az összetett célért egy egész csapat dolgozik, amelynek tagjai főként palliatív szakorvosok, hospice szakápolók, pszichológusok, gyógytornászok és laikus önkéntes segítők, de ha szükséges, akkor dietetikusok, lelkészek és szociális munkások is.
Az életvégi önrendelkezés és a láthatatlan vasfüggöny

Published: December 2024

„Az életvégi döntések jogi megítélése azért különösen érzékeny terület, mert egyrészt kötődik fontos morális és kulturális kérdésekhez, másrészt pedig sok tényező együttes értékelésére van szükség a megítéléshez. Különböző a betegségek lefolyása – valamint eltérnek és változnak az orvostudomány lehetőségei ezeket illetően –, a jogrendszerbe vetett bizalom, a bioetika helyzete, a palliatív ellátások hozzáférhetősége és színvonala.”(Sándor Judit)

No geral, concluiu-se que os drones são cruciais para incrementar as capacidades e a segurança das tropas militares naquele ambiente, sendo que o relato fornece ainda uma visão geral das capacidades e limitações no seu uso em missões de paz e operações na selva.
Islamic Social Welfare in DK Jakarta: Addressing Inequality and Promoting Social Cohesion
Authors: Luhuringbudi Teguh , Putra Purnama , Utami Dewi Nita
Published: December 2024

This research paper examines the role of Islamic social welfare in addressing inequality and enhancing social cohesion in Daerah Khusus Jakarta (DKJ). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study analyzes official statistical data from DK Jakarta in 2022-2024 through the theoretical framework of Putnam's social capital, Crenshaw's intersectionality, and Foster-Iaione's urban commons. Key findings reveal the effectiveness of the zakat-waqf network in mitigating the impact of inflation, reducing it from 3.30% (2022) to 1.98% (2024). Mosques act as centers of socio-economic innovation through programs such as "Jumu'at Berbagi" and "Digital Sharia Cooperatives". The intersectional approach in the "Ta'lim Muyassar" program effectively addresses the complexity of educational inequality. The concept of Islamic-based urban commons creates a participatory city governance model. This study produces an adaptive Islamic social welfare model, introduces "Urban Fiqh", and develops an "Islamic Urban Well-being" index. Limitations of the study include a limited geographic focus and a lack of longitudinal data. Further research is suggested to conduct comparative studies across cities and explore blockchain integration in the zakat-waqf system.

Published: December 2024

The present study proposes an analysis of the subject of exile represented in literature and film within the Hispanic culture. We consider the symbolic character of exile and de-exile, as well as the different ways of living the “exile experience”. This is materialized in an ad hoc narrative path or process that draws the sequence of exile. We show different ways of assuming this trauma, and how this produces different modalities of subject.
El desarrollo de una metodología híbrida para el estudio del portuñol en múltiples regiones fronterizas en América del Sur
Authors: Husum Jonathan Mastai
Published: December 2024

A medida que los jóvenes investigadores se embarcan en su primer viaje de investigación de campo, la mayoría de nosotros nos encaramos por primera vez con la discrepancia entre el mundo empírico y las consideraciones metodológicas que se establecieron en la fase preparatoria del diseño de investigación. Por más que éste parezca transferible a la recopilación de datos en el mundo real, son inevitables los cambios metodológicos. Basadas en mis propias experiencias recopilando datos para mi proyecto de doctorado, este artículo se dirige tanto a lectores interesados en explorar cómo elaborar una investigación cualitativa para la recogida de datos sobre el uso del portuñol sudamericano, como a jóvenes investigadores que se encuentran en las primeras etapas de su carrera para discutir la importancia de estar dispuesto al ajuste del diseño de investigación conforme la adquisición de nuevos conocimientos en el campo de estudio. En este artículo, se describe el diseño de investigación para la recopilación de datos empíricos sobre el uso de la lengua en contacto portuñol y otras lenguas en cinco regiones fronterizas sudamericanas mediante una metodología cualitativa de etnografía sociolingüística y lentes teóricos de lingüística poscolonial y la glotopolítica. Se argumenta que la metodología efectiva para estudiar el fenómeno lingüístico del portuñol sudamericano en áreas fronterizas diferentes requiere métodos de recopilación de datos comparables entre sí que aseguren la triangulación de datos, como entrevistas sociolingüísticas, el método del paisaje lingüístico y análisis de documentos oficiales para comprender la influencia de las políticas lingüísticas en las conductas sociolingüísticas en las zonas fronterizas.
Le sens commun de l’entrepreneuriat à Madagascar : une enquête ethnographique auprès des enseignants du secondaire1
Authors: Tixier Joseph
Published: December 2024

Cet article porte sur les mécanismes d’adaptation et de création d’un imaginaire indigène de l’entrepreneuriat lors de la mise en place d’un programme de formation à l’entrepreneuriat dans un contexte culturel et social différent de celui dans lequel il a été conçu. À travers une étude ethnographique dans trois lycées professionnels et techniques publics malgaches, auprès d’enseignants chargés de la mise en oeuvre d’un curriculum d’entrepreneuriat développé en occident, cet article montre les tensions entre leurs représentations culturelles de l’entrepreneur et de l’éducation et celles véhiculées par le curriculum. Il explique comment le contenu et les modèles pédagogiques employés vont être modelés lors de la construction d’un sens culturel commun et le rôle de l’identité personnelle et professionnelle des enseignants dans ce processus. Ce faisant, cette étude permet d’élargir notre compréhension des modèles et définitions de l’entrepreneuriat, aux imaginaires des enseignants africains chargés de transmettre des valeurs et pratiques occidentales, et d’approfondir notre compréhension de l’influence de la culture dans ce processus.
Les groupements de femmes établis : instrument permettant l’émergence d’un entrepreneuriat collectif féminin ou objet d’instrumentalisation d’acteurs stratégiques ?
Authors: Toche Lolita , St-Jean Étienne
Published: December 2024

L’Afrique compte d’innombrables groupes de femmes établis depuis des lustres. Ces groupes sont souvent vus comme des leviers pour soutenir l’entrepreneuriat collectif des femmes et assurer leur autonomisation. Qu’en est-il réellement ? Nous avons eu l’occasion de réaliser une recherche-intervention (RI) entre 2016 et 2019 auprès d’un groupement de femmes au Cameroun dans le cadre de la création d’une coopérative. Nous avons observé la volonté d’un homme, agent de vulgarisation de zone, extérieur au groupe, d’accompagner ce groupe de femmes, mais les modalités d’accompagnement n’étaient pas explicites. Cet agent privilégiait la recherche de financements externes au groupe alors que le groupe souhaitait mobiliser en priorité ses ressources internes. La coopérative en question n’est pas encore créée dix ans après l’impulsion initiale. Nous proposons une lecture des comportements des différents acteurs afin de mieux comprendre les causes de cet « échec ». La recherche montre que la présence d’un homme dans un projet porté par un groupe de femmes n’est pas positive pour l’évolution du projet et vient remettre en question leurs zones d’incertitude. Cela illustre que malgré les bonnes volontés des programmes de soutien aux femmes, des risques d’instrumentalisation peuvent exister si une clarification des rôles des accompagnateurs n’est pas effectuée.

Finding Traces of Cows in the Archives and Telling Stories Differently
Authors: Towne Hirtenfelder Claudia
Published: December 2024

Archives are more-than-human spaces, and scholars are increasingly exploring how traditional archival material can be used to understand the historical lives of animals. There are traces of animals in any archives because humans do not exist in isolation and have historically been ecologically and socially entangled with other species. There is, however, a great deal of scope to develop innovative methods for telling animals’ histories in ways that treat them as subjects, not objects. Using my PhD research into the historical problematization of cows in Kingston, Ontario, between 1838 and 1938, this article charts some of the methods I developed to better position historical animals as experiential subjects in analyses of the past. More specifically, I focus on how I found traces of cows in the Queen’s University Archives by looking at a range of municipal records, including city assessments and health documents. I also explain how I conducted a multispecies discourse analysis of those traces by using contemporary knowledge about the psychology and physiology of cows, employing map-making techniques, and crafting speculative vignettes. I conclude that tracing animals in municipal records, being sensitive to contemporary knowledge about them, and making use of creative methodological tools to visibilize their spatial and social worlds is both academically interesting and politically significant. These methods challenge the anthropomorphism typical of historical and urban analyses, consequently creating openings for different ways of telling stories.
Leveraging Technology to Facilitate Access
Authors: Cohen-Palacios Katrina , Lake Sarah
Published: December 2024

In recent years, the increasing volume of born-digital materials (i.e., those created digitally rather than digitized from analog originals) deposited in archives has fostered the development of new software-based tools and workflows for processing archivists. Archivists seeking practical guidance for preserving digital materials have a wealth of resources at their disposal, including many community-owned tools, workflows, and tutorials. This case study examines how archival standards and technological advances have influenced the semiautomated description of born-digital audio records through the lens of a recent project at the Clara Thomas Archives and Special Collections (CTASC) at York University Libraries (YUL). The Mariposa Folk Foundation Fonds, containing a large and growing collection of born-digital audio recordings, served as an opportunity to design and test a new software-aided descriptive workflow. The project leverages the programmable nature of born-digital materials in an attempt to streamline the time-consuming process for creating the item-level descriptions typically associated with sound recordings and born-digital records while also improving the discoverability of this material in the unmediated environment of online finding aids. This case study demonstrates how technology has influenced descriptive practices, with the advent of online finding aids providing increased access to archival descriptions, online databases permitting keyword searching, and tools to script metadata extracted from born-digital records enabling robust archival descriptions.
“It’s Not the Materials Themselves, It’s the Attitude of the Donors”
Authors: Wagner Travis L. , Martell Allan A. , Oltmann Shannon M.
Published: December 2024

This article reports on findings from semi-structured interviews with 25 archivists and curators who work with LGBTQIA+-related collections and materials about the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Specifically, it reports on how these practitioners define and engage with ethical practices, access-based obligations, and community relations in creating and sustaining their archives. The article focuses on how participants, including practitioners from various community and institutional archives of varying size and scope across the United States, understood community accountability within their work. This emphasis on community accountability necessitated that practitioners reframe archival ethics, reconsider subjective and embodied collection and curation work, and prioritize community well-being over quantitative collection building. In response to these findings, the article identifies theoretical and practical implications for queer archives related to methods of archival production, approaches to community outreach and engagement, and the intersecting impact of these implications and approaches on questions of archival sustainability for queer and other historically marginalized histories.
Les politiques de financement et les enjeux de coopération multilatérale dans le domaine du théâtre au Cameroun
Authors: Ngo Mintoogue Ginette
Published: December 2024

Les politiques et l’action publiques en Afrique subsaharienne francophone soulèvent des questions quant à leur légitimité et leur efficacité. Ces questions sont généralement analysées à travers le prisme de la gouvernance et de la qualité de l’appareil administratif, ainsi que de leur impact sur les populations concernées. Dans le domaine du théâtre en Afrique subsaharienne francophone, et plus particulièrement au Cameroun, pays bilingue (le français et l’anglais sont les deux langues officielles), on observe un déséquilibre entre les mesures de financement étatiques et l’importance des subventions étrangères. Cette situation entraîne des conséquences néfastes sur le développement de l’activité théâtrale et la situation économique des artistes. Cette étude vise à examiner comment se structure cette politique de financement dans un contexte de crise du financement public des arts, et à analyser les relations entre ces organismes de financement et le Cameroun. Elle expose la portée de cette collaboration avec les pays du Nord et les organismes de coopération tels que la francophonie, l’UNESCO, la Banque mondiale, la Commission internationale pour le théâtre francophone (CITF), GIZ, l’Union européenne, la Commission européenne, les Instituts français et Goethe ainsi que les ambassades, tant pour les pays d’Afrique francophone (dont le Cameroun) que pour les artistes, principaux intervenants engagés dans cette question.
L’économie sociale et solidaire au Maroc : quelle place des acteurs locaux dans les politiques publiques ? Le cas de la région de Drâa-Tafilalet
Authors: Zahidi Mohamed , Ayegou Jamila , Ait Hou Mohamed
Published: December 2024

Le secteur de l’économie sociale et solidaire (ESS) marque une grande convergence avec les approches de développement territorial qui s’inscrivent dans le cadre d’un développement économique endogène. Elle place les questions de la territorialisation, de la création de la valeur ajoutée et de la valorisation des ressources territoriales au coeur de son projet. Dans cette logique, notre étude vise à analyser le poids des plans de promotion de l’ESS dans les politiques des acteurs locaux publics à l’aide d’une démarche qualitative fondée sur des entretiens semi-directifs avec les différents acteurs locaux – publics et privés – d’une région défavorisée au Maroc (Drâa-Tafilalet). Sont également présentées quelques pistes qui pourraient contribuer au développement et à la promotion du secteur de l’ESS au Maroc dans une perspective de développement territorial durable.

Cependant, au Québec, les professionnels intervenant auprès d’élèves ayant des difficultés de lecture/écriture disposent de peu d’outils normalisés pour évaluer la conscience phonologique des jeunes franco-québécois. C’est pour cette raison que le PhonoTELEQ, un test évaluant la conscience phonologique des enfants franco-québécois de la 1re à la 6e année du primaire, a été élaboré. Ce test administré à l’oral comporte six tâches impliquant différentes manipulations épi- et métaphonologiques ciblant les diverses unités et positions dans le mot. Lors de l’élaboration du test, les items ont été conçus selon différents critères, lesquels seront précisés dans cet article. Une validation préliminaire du contenu avec l’aide de deux expertes et une étude pilote de prévalidation auprès de 14 enfants ont permis de peaufiner les consignes et les items afin que le PhonoTELEQ puisse prochainement être validé à plus grande échelle.
Hajj in the System of state-Islamic Relations in Russia: History and Modernity
Authors: Khabibullina Zilya Rashitovna
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of Hajj as an important element of state-Islamic relations in Russia. The historical aspects of Hajj, its influence on the formation of Islamic identity and interaction with state institutions are considered. The paper also explores current trends and challenges in preparation for and during the Hajj, including issues of financial aspects, as well as legal and social barriers. The focus is on the relationship between religious practices and public policy, as well as the role of Hajj in strengthening social cohesion among Muslim communities. The article analyzes examples of successful interaction between Islamic organizations and government agencies, as well as cases of conflicts and misunderstandings that may arise during the implementation of the Hajj. The article uses an integrated approach combining historical, politological and anthropological analysis. The research is based on the analysis of historical documents, statistical data, interviews with representatives of Islamic organizations. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the systematization of knowledge about the Hajj as an important element in the system of state-Islamic relations in Russia. The unique aspects of preparation for Hajj and its implementation, which had not previously been sufficiently investigated in the context of Russian reality, are revealed. The article emphasizes that Hajj not only performs religious functions, but also becomes a factor of social cohesion among Muslim communities. The findings of the study indicate that the Hajj can serve as a bridge for intercultural dialogue and understanding in a multinational country, contributing to strengthening ties between different ethnic and religious groups. It is also noted that successful cooperation between Islamic organizations and government agencies can significantly improve conditions for pilgrims, however, there are many challenges, including financial and legal barriers, which require attention from both Muslim communities and government agencies.
Imagens, micróbios e espelhos: os sistemas imune e nervoso e nossa relação com o ambiente
Authors: Daniel-Ribeiro Cláudio Tadeu , Chaves Martins Yuri
Published: December 2024

"O presente livro trata de paradigmas, protoideias e também de estilos de pensamento, pensamentos coletivos e revoluções científicas. Nele dissertamos sobre assuntos que vão desde as origens do homem e a imprevisibilidade da evolução do conhecimento e da ciência até os conceitos e mecanismos de formação de imagens internas (como em um espelho) para o reconhecimento (da imagem) de objetos do mundo real (incluindo os micróbios). Os textos permeiam tanto narrativas históricas – como a da imunologia cognitiva – quanto a descrição do funcionamento do sistema nervoso. Os tópicos expostos em cada capítulo são explicados ao leitor com a ajuda de conceitos de diferentes disciplinas, muitas vezes estranhas ao pensamento coletivo de cientistas de nossas áreas. Assim, algumas ideias, inicialmente protoideias, demandaram amadurecimento através da interação com especialistas nas diversas disciplinas abordadas. Ao fim de cada capítulo, comentários desses peritos analisam as perspectivas e consequências dos temas tratados, muitas vezes proporcionando um olhar diferente ao oferecido por nós. [...] Esperamos, com esta abordagem interdisciplinar, promover o debate sobre diversos temas tratados entre especialistas de diferentes campos do conhecimento e, quem sabe (quem dera também...), instigar o surgimento de novas revoluções científicas. Seja bem-vindo ao mundo dos micróbios, imagens e espelhos!"
Problematizações das figuras da Psicologia Clínica: olhar, cuidar e escutar
Authors: Benelli Silvio José
Published: December 2024

Neste livro, o autor procura entender e sistematizar as coordenadas teóricas, práticas e éticas que fundamentam tais modelos de clínicas nos ensaios escritos nessa investigação, com a intenção de esclarecer e orientar a própria práxis. O objetivo consistiu em problematizar, a partir da práxis, da documentação e da literatura, as possibilidades clínicas no campo da Psicologia, distinguindo e caracterizando seus modelos de atenção e também procurando entender quais são os efeitos éticos promovidos. O autor também buscou trabalhar com o conceito fundamental de subjetividade para pensar e problematizar de modo paradigmático o campo psicológico e a área da clínica, com destaque o conceito de subjetividade numa acepção muito precisa: a que emerge da Psicanálise do campo de Freud e Lacan e o tipo de clínica que daí deriva, como fundamental para um psicólogo que se pretenda psicossocial.

The Brillouin sensing technology in multimode optical fibers has received much attention due to its ability to simultaneously transmit multiple parameters, such as temperature and strain, and its higher information capacity and transmission efficiency. Additionally, lithium niobate possesses excellent electro-optical properties, so it shows potential application value in the sensing field and is expected to provide higher sensitivity and precision. Owing to the maturity of manufacturing processes, current research on fiber optic sensing focuses on silicon-based materials, however, there are fewer studies of fibers in which lithium niobate is used as the core material, thereby underestimating its application potential. In this work, the Brillouin scattering effects in lithium niobate optical fibers are investigated numerically. We simulate the intra-mode backward Brillouin scattering characteristics of the first five orders of LP modes in micrometer-sized lithium niobate fibers by means of finite-element simulation to explore its intrinsic law.

First of all, the relationship between the Brillouin frequency shift and gain for the first five optical mode interactions is analyzed in detail. The results show that in the case of intra-mode backward stimulated Brillouin scattering, the peak of Brillouin frequency shift exhibits a significant redshift ranging from 20.63 GHz to 18.747 GHz. The Brillouin gain coefficient decreases from 13.503 m–1·W–1 to 4.0115 m–1·W–1 with the increase of mode order, in which mode LP01 having the strongest gain intra modal interaction means the best sensing sensitivity. In addition, compared with ordinary silica fiber, the lithium niobate fiber has Brillouin gain increased by about 5 orders of magnitude, which means that fibers with lithium niobate as the core can have higher sensing sensitivity. In addition, it is found that although there are significant differences in the Brillouin frequency shift values of each optical mode under intra modal interactions, the sound velocity of their corresponding acoustic modes is always consistent under the same acoustic mode. In data processing, it is noticed that this is because as the mode order changes, the corresponding effective refractive index decreases to ensure that each acoustic mode of the material always has the same sound velocity. These findings provide a foundation for further studying the lithium niobate fiber sensors with electro-optic properties.
Factors of alternating convolution of the Gessel numbers
Authors: Mikić Jovan
Published: December 2024

The Gessel number $P(n,r)$ is the number of lattice paths in the plane with $(1,0)$ and $(0,1)$ steps from $(0,0)$ to $(n+r, n+r-1)$ that never touch any of the points from the set $\{(x,x) \in \mathbb{Z}^2: x \geq r\}$. We show that there is a close relationship between Gessel numbers $P(n,r)$ and super Catalan numbers $T(n,r)$. A new class of binomial sums, so called $M$ sums, is used. By using one form of the Pfaff–Saalschütz theorem, a new recurrence relation for $M$ sums is proved. Finally, we prove that an alternating convolution of Gessel numbers $P(n,r)$ multiplied by a power of a binomial coefficient is always divisible by $\frac{1}{2}T(n,r)$.
