Seven Reflares, a Mini Outburst, and an Outburst: High-amplitude Optical Variations in the Black Hole X-Ray Binary Swift J1910.2–0546

Published: June 2023

We present long-term (2012–2022) optical monitoring of the candidate black hole X-ray binary Swift J1910.2–0546 with the Faulkes Telescopes and Las Cumbres Observatory network. Following its initial bright 2012 outburst, we find that the source displayed a series of at least seven quasi-periodic, high-amplitude (~3 mag) optical reflares in 2013, with a recurrence time increasing from ∼42 to ∼49 days. In 2014, the source experienced a mini outburst with two peaks in the optical. We also study the recent 2022 outburst of the source at optical wavelengths, and perform a comparative analysis with the earlier rebrightenings. A single X-ray detection and only two radio detections were obtained during the 2013 reflaring period, and only optical detections were acquired in 2014. During the reflaring in both 2013 and 2014, the source showed bluer-when-brighter behavior, having optical colors consistent with blackbody heating and cooling between 4500 and 9500 K, i.e., the temperature range in which hydrogen starts to ionize. Finally, we compare the flaring behavior of the source to rebrightening events in other X-ray binaries. We show that the repeated reflarings of Swift J1910.2–0546 are highly unusual, and propose that they arise from a sequence of repetitive heating and cooling front reflections traveling through the accretion disk.
An Extension of the Athena++ Code Framework for Radiation-magnetohydrodynamics in General Relativity Using a Finite-solid-angle Discretization

Published: June 2023

We extend the general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) capabilities of Athena++ to incorporate radiation. The intensity field in each finite-volume cell is discretized in angle, with explicit transport in both space and angle properly accounting for the effects of gravity on null geodesics, and with matter and radiation coupled in a locally implicit fashion. Here we describe the numerical procedure in detail, verifying its correctness with a suite of tests. Motivated in particular by black hole accretion in the high-accretion-rate, thin-disk regime, we demonstrate the application of the method to this problem. With excellent scaling on flagship computing clusters, the port of the algorithm to the GPU-enabled AthenaK code now allows the simulation of many previously intractable radiation-GRMHD systems.
RAIKOU (来光): A General Relativistic, Multiwavelength Radiative Transfer Code
Authors: Kawashima Tomohisa , Ohsuga Ken , Takahashi Hiroyuki R.
Published: June 2023

We present a general relativistic radiative transfer code RAIKOU (来光) for multiwavlength studies of spectra and images including the black hole shadows around Kerr black holes. Important radiative processes in hot plasmas around black holes, i.e., (cyclo-)synchrotron, bremsstrahlung emission/absorption, and Compton/inverse-Compton scattering, are incorporated. The Maxwell–Jüttner and single/broken power-law electron distribution functions are implemented to calculate the radiative transfer via both thermal and nonthermal electrons. Two calculation algorithms are implemented for studies of the images and broadband spectra. An observer-to-emitter ray-tracing algorithm, which inversely solves the radiative transfer equation from the observer screen to emitting plasmas, is suitable for an efficient calculations of the images, e.g., the black hole shadows observed by the Event Horizon Telescope, and spectra without Compton effects. On the other hand, an emitter-to-observer Monte Carlo algorithm, by which photons are transported with a Monte Carlo method including the effects of Compton/inverse-Compton scatterings, enables us to compute multiwavelength spectra, with their energy bands broadly ranging from radio to very high energy gamma-ray. The X-ray black hole shadows, which are formed via synchrotron emission and inverse-Compton scattering processes and will be observed in the future X-ray interferometry missions, can be also computed with this algorithm. The code is generally applicable to accretion flows around Kerr black holes with relativistic jets and winds/coronae with various mass accretion rates (i.e., radiatively inefficient accretion flows, super-Eddington accretion flows, and others). We demonstrate an application of the code to a radiatively inefficient accretion flow onto a supermassive black hole.
Nonzero Phase Shifts of Acoustic Waves in the Lower Solar Atmosphere Measured from Realistic Simulations and Their Role in Local Helioseismology*
Authors: Waidele M. , Zhao Junwei , Kitiashvili I. N.
Published: June 2023

Previous studies analyzing the evanescent nature of acoustic waves in the lower solar atmosphere, up to 300 km above the photosphere, have shown an unexpected phase shift of an order of 1 s between different heights. Those studies investigated the spectral line Fe i
λ6173.3, commonly used for helioseismic measurements. Such phase shifts can contribute to a misinterpretation of the measured travel times in local helioseismology, complicating inferences of, e.g., the deep meridional flow. In this study, we carry out phase shift computations using a simulated, fully radiative, and convective atmosphere from which the Fe i
λ6173.3 line is synthesized. The resulting phase shifts as functions of frequency across multiple heights show nonzero values in evanescent waves, similar to what was found in observational data. Comparing the Doppler velocities estimated from the synthesized absorption line with the true velocities directly obtained from the simulated plasma motions, we find substantial differences in phase shifts between the two. This leads us to hypothesize that the nonadiabaticity of the solar atmosphere yields extra phase shift contributions to Doppler velocities. Finally, computing phase differences for different viewing angles reveals a systematic center-to-limb variation, similar to what is present in observations. Overall, this study helps to improve our understanding of the physical cause of the helioseismic center-to-limb effect.
Investigating the Time Evolution of the Thermal Emission from the Putative Neutron Star in SN 1987A for 50+ Years

Published: June 2023

Observations collected with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and analysis of broadband X-ray spectra have recently suggested the presence of a central compact object (CCO) in SN 1987A. However, no direct evidence of the CCO has been found yet. Here we analyze Chandra X-ray observations of SN 1987A collected in 2007 and 2018, and synthesize 2027 Chandra and 2037 Lynx spectra of the faint inner region of SN 1987A. We estimate the temporal evolution of the upper limits of the intrinsic luminosity of the putative CCO in three epochs (2018, 2027, and 2037). We find that these upper limits are higher for higher neutron star (NS) kick velocities due to increased absorption from the surrounding cold ejecta. We compare NS cooling models with both the intrinsic luminosity limits obtained from the X-ray spectra and the ALMA constraints with the assumption that the observed blob of SN 1987A is primarily heated by thermal emission. We find that the synthetic Lynx spectra are crucial to constrain the physical properties of the CCO, which will be confirmed by future observations in the 2040s. We draw our conclusions based on two scenarios, namely the nondetection and detection of the NS by Lynx. If the NS is not detected, its kick velocity should be ≃700 km s−1. Furthermore, nondetection of the NS would suggest rapid cooling processes at the age of 40 yr, implying strong crust superfluidity. Conversely, in the case of NS detection, the mass of the NS envelope must be high.

MACS0647–JD is a triply lensed z ∼ 11 galaxy
originally discovered with the Hubble Space Telescope. The three lensed images
are magnified by factors of ∼8, 5, and 2 to AB mag 25.1, 25.6, and 26.6 at 3.5
μm. The brightest is over a magnitude brighter
than other galaxies recently discovered at similar redshifts z > 10 with JWST. Here, we report new JWST imaging
that clearly resolves MACS0647–JD as having two components that are either
merging galaxies or stellar complexes within a single galaxy. The brighter
larger component “A” is intrinsically very blue (β
∼ −2.6 ± 0.1), likely due to very recent star formation and no dust, and is
spatially extended with an effective radius ∼70 ± 24 pc. The smaller component
“B” (r ∼ 20

−
5

+
8

pc) appears redder (β ∼ −2 ±
0.2), likely because it is older (100–200 Myr) with mild dust extinction
(A

V
∼ 0.1 mag). With an estimated stellar mass ratio of roughly 2:1 and
physical projected separation ∼400 pc, we may be witnessing a galaxy merger 430
million years after the Big Bang. We identify galaxies with similar colors in a
high-redshift simulation, finding their star formation histories to be
dissimilar, which is also suggested by the spectral energy distribution fitting,
suggesting they formed further apart. We also identify a candidate companion
galaxy “C” ∼3 kpc away, likely destined to merge with A and B. Upcoming JWST
Near Infrared Spectrograph observations planned for 2023 January will deliver
spectroscopic redshifts and more physical properties for these tiny magnified
distant galaxies observed in the early universe.
Henri de Harclay sur l’ontologie des nombres : à l’origine d’un désaccord entre Pierre Auriol et Thomas Wylton
Authors: Sorokina Maria
Published: June 2023

Dans son commentaire des Sentences (d. 24, lib. I), le théologien séculier Henri de Harclay (ca. 1270-1317) aborde le problème de l’ontologie du nombre. Il soutient la thèse conceptualiste : les nombres n’existent pas indépendamment de l’activité de l’intellect. D’une part, son argumentation est utilisée chez Pierre Auriol qui défend une opinion semblable ; d’autre part, elle est attaquée chez Thomas Wylton qui adhère à une théorie contraire, celle de l’existence extramentale des nombres. Une édition critique annotée du texte d’Henri de Harclay est présentée ici pour la première fois.
La Somme de philosophie de Raoul de Longchamp
Authors: Caiazzo Irene
Published: June 2023

Après une introduction sur la vie et l’œuvre de Raoul de Longchamp, maître actif en France entre le dernier quart du xii e  siècle et les deux premières décennies du xiii e , est ici éditée pour la première fois la Cornicula sive Summa de philosophia, rédigée très vraisemblablement vers dans les années 1180-1190. Tout en conférant à son traité une structure précise d’après les sphères des quatre éléments, en partant du feu jusqu’à la terre, du haut en bas du cosmos, Raoul de Longchamp puise principalement dans la Philosophia de Guillaume de Conches et dans les écrits des médecins salernitains. Les sujets abordés relèvent surtout de la philosophie naturelle, tout particulièrement de la météorologie, et ils sont généralement introduits par des questions.
Les honoraires de l’avocat
Authors: Gavaudan Jérôme
Published: June 2023

Les honoraires de l’avocat sont la légitime rémunération du travail foruni et du service rendu par l’avocat dans l’intérêt de son client. S’ils répondent, à l’origine, de la liberté contractuelle, ils sont désormais très encadrés et font même, en certaines matières, l’objet d’une tarification. En sus de ce strict encadrement, les litiges sur l’honoraire de l’avocat répondent à une procédure spécifique : le bâtonnier est le juge de l’honoraire. Cet encadrement et ce contrôle des honoraires se sont encore renforcés sous l’influence croissante du droit européen de la consommation et des décisions de la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne prises en la matière.
Les avocats aux Conseils et la Cour de cassation
Authors: Soulard Christophe
Published: June 2023

La représentation devant la Cour de cassation ne peut être assurée que par certains avocats, qui ont reçu une formation spécifique et dont le nombre est volontairement limité. Ce régime particulier, dont l’origine est très ancienne, s’explique par la technicité du pourvoi en cassation et le caractère extraordinaire de cette voie de recours. Mais ses effets ne se réduisent pas à cet aspect. En rendant possibles des échanges réguliers et fluides entre la Cour et « ses » avocats, tous dépositaires d’une culture commune, il permet à la première de s’appuyer sur les seconds pour mettre en œuvre les réformes qu’elle juge nécessaires, dans l’intérêt de l’ensemble de l’institution judiciaire.
L’Oral et l’Écrit dans le débat judiciaire
Authors: Molinié François
Published: June 2023

On reproche fréquemment aux plaidoiries de ralentir le temps du procès et de ne pas avoir de vraie utilité. En réalité, conclusions écrites et observations orales sont complémentaires. Une justice accessible et à l’écoute suppose un temps d’échange adapté à la nature du procès, à la complexité de l’affaire et aux enjeux du dossier. Un juge actif pendant la phase orale permet aussi de rassurer le justiciable sur la prise en considération de son dossier. Dans le souci d’une bonne administration de la justice, il existe différentes manières de rétablir une forme d’harmonie entre l’écrit et l’oral. À toutes les étapes du procès, en première instance, en appel et devant le juge de cassation, la boîte à outils est, désormais, bien achalandée pour faire du sur-mesure. ll reste à en faire la promotion et se saisir pleinement de ces outils.
L’indépendance de l’avocat
Authors: Noto-Jaffeux Nelly
Published: June 2023

L’indépendance conditionne l’ensemble de l’activité de l’avocat. Elle procure à l’avocat la liberté requise à l’exercice de sa profession. Elle suppose que l’avocat s’engage auprès de sa collectivité à respecter les règles professionnelles régulant cette situation d’indépendance. Les évolutions vécues par la profession d’avocat depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années ont pourtant eu des répercutions concrètes sur elle : l’indépendance est devenue variable. Ce phénomène constitue le cœur des difficultés que la profession rencontre aujourd’hui. Corrélativement, le contrôle des autorités publiques a été significativement renforcé. Le modèle ordinal sur lequel repose l’indépendance de l’avocat pourrait à terme être menacé.
L’avocat et le développement du droit de l’environnement
Authors: Huglo Christian , Lepage Corinne
Published: June 2023

Depuis plusieurs années, il est acquis que les avocats ont joué un rôle important, voire décisif, dans la création et le développement du droit de l’environnement. Ils ont ainsi été à l’origine des grands procès emblématiques qui ont abouti à la création de principes fondamentaux du droit de l’environnement qui sont aujourd’hui : le droit à un environnement sain, le principe de prévention, le principe de précaution, le principe pollueur payeur. Cela n’a été possible que grâce à la décision des juges, d’abord des juges de première instance et plus tardivement les juges supérieurs, ce qui suppose l’existence d’États de droit, et en tout cas d’États qui pratiquent la séparation des pouvoirs. Sans l’indépendance du juge, pas de nouvelles jurisprudences possibles à l’écoute de la demande sociale, liée d’abord à une exigence des conditions relatives à la qualité de la vie et, aujourd’hui, compte tenu des nouvelles menaces liées au climat et à l’effondrement de la biodiversité, à la protection de la vie même. Passant ainsi d’une demande locale à une demande globale, la question environnementale concerne désormais toute la planète. De ce fait, le droit de l’environnement doit progresser constamment et se transformer depuis sa création dans les années 1970 sous la même et encore plus forte impulsion de ces auxiliaires de justice.
L’avocat et le droit fiscal
Authors: Bornhauser Marc
Published: June 2023

Les relations entre l’avocat et le droit fiscal ont beau ne dater que d’une trentaine d’années, elles sont loin d’être paisibles et harmonieuses. En effet, la fiscalité étant au cœur du financement de l’État, l’explosion de la dette publique a placé la lutte contre la fraude fiscale au centre des politiques publiques. L’avocat fiscaliste a été présenté à l’opinion publique comme le facilitateur de cette fraude à combattre, voire comme le complice des fraudeurs, celui qui, grâce à sa connaissance de la matière, permet une optimisation fiscale qualifiée d’agressive. Depuis près d’une quinzaine d’années, l’avocat fiscaliste fait l’objet de nombreuses mesures visant à le dissuader d’exercer son art dans le domaine du conseil : obligations de déclaration des schémas d’optimisation transfrontières, réduction du champ de son secret professionnel, etc., la liste des atteintes à sa pratique est hélas longue… Fort heureusement, avec au même moment l’introduction de la Question prioritaire de constitutionnalité, un champ nouveau de contentieux d’attaque de la norme s’est ouvert à lui. Ce contentieux particulier l’a conduit à se familiariser avec les concepts nouveaux de droits fondamentaux, qu’il a à son tour su utiliser contre les pouvoirs publics pour défendre son droit à conseiller ses clients afin de les aider à trouver la voie la moins imposée. Car l’avocat fiscaliste est un rouage indispensable du consentement à l’impôt, qui est le pilier de notre démocratie. Puissent nos gouvernants le comprendre sans que les juges ne soient obligés de le leur rappeler.
Les contentieux internationaux complexes
Authors: Martinet Laurent
Published: June 2023

Depuis les années quatre-vingt et la mondialisation de l’économie, les échanges et litiges internationaux ont été démultipliés. La France s’est dotée dès 1995 d’une chambre internationale au sein du Tribunal de commerce de Paris. Néanmoins, Londres concentrait la majorité de ces contentieux. Avec le Brexit, la place française s’est modernisée en créant une chambre internationale au sein de la Cour d’appel de Paris. Deux protocoles procéduraux ont vu le jour, adaptant la procédure civile française aux besoins du commerce international. Plusieurs incompatibilités subsistent encore entre les acteurs de common law et de civil law, renforçant considérablement les missions de l’avocat français face à ses clients étrangers.

Innovations sociales et transitions : quels freins pour quelle(s) proximité(s) ?
Authors: Omer Jade , Ferru Marie
Published: June 2023

L’article analyse des innovations dont l’objectif tient moins à la technologie qu’aux enjeux de transition de notre société. Nous cherchons à mieux comprendre le développement de ces innovations, que l’on peut qualifier d’innovation sociale de troisième génération et à vérifier la présence d’enjeux spécifiques nécessitant un accompagnement adapté. Nous étudions 20 projets d’IS, à partir d’entretiens et à la lumière des approches de la Proximité. Bien qu’en première analyse, ce travail mette en évidence des caractéristiques (caractères collectif et multiscalaire) et freins usuels de l’innovation (financement, acceptabilité, coordination), une analyse approfondie révèle des résultats inattendus : la proximité spatiale, considérée comme primordiale pour l’expérimentation des projets d’IS apparaît relativement faible, de même que la proximité relationnelle. Au contraire, les proximités institutionnelle (instances publiques) et organisationnelle (cercles professionnelles) apparaissent indispensables et suggèrent de repenser les dispositifs existants pour encourager ces projets.

An analysis of enterprise resource planning systems and key determinants using the Delphi method and an analytic hierarchy process
Authors: Huang Yueh-Hsia , Sun Lan , Ger Tyng-Bin
Published: June 2023

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are software module packages which can be customized up to a certain limit to suit the specific needs of each organization. Many ERP projects have not been effective at achieving all of the intended results due to high cost and high failure risks in ERP implementation. This study integrates the prior theories and knowledge gained from several textile industry practitioners for ERP projects. A two-stage method involving the Delphi and analytic hierarchy process decision support methodology was conducted. Based on the case of the textile industry in Taiwan, the findings illustrate the top 10 key factors: a clear project plan by defined ERP capacity requirement; a limited scope and focused flowchart; goal congruence between ERP project implementation and corporate strategy; top management support and commitment; the extent of standard operating procedures and institutional processes; a user-friendly interface; systems integrated with aggressive schedules and timelines; provision of technical assistance for rapid, effective transfer of best practice interventions; good interdepartmental communication and coordination on a focused issue solution; and enablement of business process reengineering and solid management for project team building. The findings of this research will be beneficial to those apparel companies that adopted the ERP.
A new mathematical model for tuberculosis epidemic under the consciousness effect
Authors: Yavuz Mehmet , Özköse Fatma , Akman Müzeyyen , Taştan Zehra Tuğba
Published: June 2023

Compared to many infectious diseases, tuberculosis has a high mortality rate. Because of this, a great deal of illustrative research has been done on the modeling and study of tuberculosis using mathematics. In this work, a mathematical model is created by taking into account the underlying presumptions of this disease. One of the main novelties of the paper is to consider two different treatment strategies namely protective treatment for the latent populations from the disease and the main treatment applied to the infected populations. This situation can be regarded as the other novelty of the paper. The susceptible, latent, infected, and recovered populations, as well as the two mentioned treatment classes, are all included in the proposed six-dimensional model's compartmental framework. Additionally, a region that is biologically possible is presented, as well as the solution's positivity, existence, and uniqueness. The suggested model's solutions are carried out as numerical simulations using assumed and literature-based parameter values and analyzing its graphics. To get the results, a fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical approach is used.
Gallery – The Thistle Property Trust & the Top of the Town
Authors: Lennie Lindsay , Purse Rachael
Published: June 2023

The Thistle Property Trust (TPT) was established in Stirling in 1928. They aimed to restore historic and traditional buildings which had become dilapidated slum housing in Stirling’s Top of the Town area. One of the first building conservation trusts, the TPT improved the living conditions of the city’s poor whilst conserving Stirling’s historic built environment. They were a forward-thinking organisation, employing and training women property managers, inspired by the work of Octavia Hill (1838-1912). The legacy of the TPT lives on in Scotland’s contemporary City Heritage Trusts.
Restoring the ‘Georgian House’: Architecture, Politics, and Identity in 1970s Edinburgh
Authors: Legard James
Published: June 2023

The National Trust for Scotland’s restoration of 7 Charlotte Square as a museum of the Georgian New Town was both more and less than an exemplary restoration of a townhouse at the centre of Robert Adam's great neoclassical urban set piece. It was conceived and executed in 1972-5, a moment pregnant with significance for Scotland’s – and the United Kingdom’s – political and cultural identity. Lord Kilbrandon’s Commission on the Constitution was about to report and was widely expected to usher in dramatic changes to the relationship between Scotland and the wider Union. At the same time negotiations for the UK’s entry into the then European Community were on the point of bearing fruit. Completion of the restoration was, moreover, timed to coincide with European Architectural Heritage Year and with the UK’s first European referendum. This paper will set the creation of the ‘Georgian House’ in this exceptional context, exploring how it became the vehicle for a distinctive vision of Scotland’s past and future, and then setting out the consequences – and the many compromises to good practice – that resulted from this unavowed but omnipresent agenda. In particular, it will show how the National Trust for Scotland’s leaders – almost all drawn from the country’s well-connected social elite – sought to make use of the prestige of eighteenth-century taste and cultural achievement to carve out a new place for Scotland’s cultural and spiritual heritage, and, perhaps no less importantly, for themselves, in a rapidly changing world.

British Imperialism, National Identity, and Scotland’s Built Environment
Authors: McKee Kirsten Carter
Published: June 2023

Over the last decade, analyses of Scotland’s historic global diasporas have incorporated more pronounced conversations on how Scotland’s current political, social, and economic contexts are rooted in the legacies of the British Empire. While this has produced narratives highlighting Scotland’s key role in imperial expansion, the resonance of this in establishing and perpetuating systems of white oppression are less widely addressed in Scotland’s consciousness of its own identity. Through consideration of how architecture’s cultural analogies reflect and represent Imperial ideologies, this paper will explore the resonance of architectural urban discourse funded by the outputs of the British Empire. It will discuss how an architecturally focused reading of our built environment can clearly recognise the systemic legacies of colonialism and imperialism within our urban realm, and further enhance inclusive narratives of Scotland’s heritage. This will highlight how a more nuanced approach to reading the historic built environment is necessary to challenge established current authorised heritage discourse of white male histories. It will demonstrate the function of the built environment in telling stories of Scotland’s prominent role in Empire and how this supports a human-rights based approach to heritage analysis.

Photographie et publicité chez Jean Moral et Marcel Arthaud (années 1920-1940)
Authors: Besson Sylvain
Published: June 2023

Durant l’entre-deux-guerres, la photographie investit massivement la presse et la publicité. La période est à l’audace et il y a autant de types de pratique qu’il y a de photographes. Parmi eux, deux exemples marquants mais ô combien opposés : quand Jean Moral réemploie astucieusement ses clichés de vacances avec sa compagne et ses anciens reportages pour répondre aux commandes publicitaires, Marcel Arthaud multiplie les collaborations tout en s’impliquant dans la réflexion sur le médium et son application dans la publicité.
Crédits, signatures et marques d’auctorialité dans la photographie publicitaire parue dans VU (1928-1939)

En France, dans les grandes revues professionnelles, un consensus s’établit pendant l’entre-deux-guerres au profit d’une insertion de la photographie dans l’affiche. Elle est alors considérée comme vecteur de modernité au détriment des dessins, jugés dépassés. Par différents procédés techniques, des imprimeurs tentent d’exploiter la photographie au sein de ce support. Des affichistes pionniers ‒ A. M. Cassandre, Jean Carlu ou Francis Bernard ‒ s’emparent à leur tour de la photographie et de la « Nouvelle Vision » qu’elle procure.

Si les techniques d’impression permettent déjà de reproduire la photographie à grande échelle dans les années 1930, le médium est alors principalement utilisé à des fins pédagogiques et de persuasion politique et peu exploité par la publicité française.

Cet article s’ouvre sur un témoignage personnel sur le poète, rencontré à Jérusalem dès 1968-1969, souvenirs et réflexions sur l’homme et l’œuvre. Il évoque l’impact de la guerre et de la Shoah, la mobilisation à l’hôpital de Caen, la débâcle, la Résistance à Toulouse, dans les rangs de l’Action juive (1940-1942), l’adoption d’un nouveau patronyme : Vigée (vie j’ai !), qui proclame le choix de la vie au sein de la mort, la fuite puis l’exil aux États-Unis. Une circonstance providentielle lui permet de partir pour Israël où il vivra durant 40 ans, enseignant de 1960 jusqu’à sa retraite, en 1984, à l’université hébraïque de Jérusalem. Il s’installe en France en 2001, suite à la maladie d’Evy, l’épouse bien-aimée. On découvre aussi l’art poétique de Vigée pour qui la littérature est un témoignage sur le temps qui passe, mariant récits, témoignages, essais, entretiens, pages de journal intime, avec le jaillissement du poème. L’image biblique du « miel dans le rocher », concrétisée par la découverte dans les monts de Judée d’inclusions de calcite dorée au sein de pierres calcaires, conforte en lui le choix d’une forme littéraire qui lui est spontanée : le « judan », en opposition au roman, fiction préméditée et close, où la poésie est rejetée dans des recueils séparés. Le judan associe la marche du quotidien, errance du vivant jubilatoire horizontal, à l’extase verticale du poème.
Claude Vigée : séparation et réparation
Authors: Finck Michèle
Published: June 2023

L’œuvre du poète juif Claude Vigée est placée sous le signe d’une tension entre deux mots, qui est à l’origine de cette poésie : « séparation » (à cause de la Seconde Guerre mondiale) et « réparation ». Cette tension se retrouve aussi dans plusieurs œuvres majeures de la poésie française, en particulier dans les livres d’Yves Bonnefoy et Philippe Jaccottet. La quête de la « réparation » est indissociable d’un désir d’unir à nouveau le langage l’être et le monde.
Le Poète-prophète face au défi de Babel
Authors: Parizet Sylvie
Published: June 2023

Relire l’œuvre de Claude Vigée à la lumière du récit de Babel, c’est mesurer à quel point ce mythe représente, pour celui qui se sent menacé de dislocation et d’aphasie, le grand danger. Mais l’antidote au mal existe : face au défi que « les langues impures de Babel » lancent à l’écrivain, la voie du poète consiste à « faire passer », dans cette forme si particulière qu’est le judan, « le rayonnement originel de l’Aleph ».
Urban Flooding Risk in Machico and Planning Its Territory as a Form of Prevention
Authors: Costa Alves Raul Manuel , Neves Lousada Sérgio António , Cabezas José , Naranjo Gómez José Manuel
Published: June 2023

Machico, a parish located in Madeira, Portugal, is prone to recurring floods during periods of heavy rainfall, which can cause significant damage to property, infrastructure, and even put the lives of people and animals at risk. The increasing urbanization has worsened this problem since urban growth often occurs in risk-prone areas, such as steep slopes or floodplains. Additionally, the development of drainage and flow systems often cannot keep up with the pace of urban expansion, leading to greater vulnerability to flooding. Therefore, it is essential to conduct studies to better understand how urbanization contributes to flooding to develop more effective risk management strategies. This involves identifying risk-prone areas, establishing prevention and damage mitigation measures, and implementing early warning systems to protect the population in the event of extreme weather conditions.
Flood Risk and Vulnerability
Authors: Alves Raul Manuel Costa , Lousada Sérgio António Neves , Cabezas José , Gómez José Manuel Naranjo
Published: June 2023

The city of Machico grew in an accelerated and unbalanced way. This unplanned lack of control generated urban flooding problems with some damage. Currently, efforts are being made to avoid and mitigate these floods or alluviums, as flash floods are known on the island of Madeira, by investing in studies. The aim of these studies is to understand the problem and its application in the management of prevention and control of this type of risk. In this way and based on the Flood Risk Management Plan for the Autonomous Region of Madeira, the mitigation of alluvial problems for the Ribeira de Machico is idealized.
The Preliminary Researches of Pull-Out of GFRP Rods From Mineral Coarse-Grained Soils
Authors: Straż Grzegorz Mieczysław
Published: June 2023

The presented research is part of the work “The Ground Reinforcement System With GFRP Composite Bars With Fiber Optic Monitoring,” the purpose of which was to check the suitability of the use of GFRP (glass fiber reinforced polymer) rods for reinforcing selected mineral soils. The preliminary tests included obtaining research material, determining geotechnical parameters, and carrying out tests of pulling GFRP rods out of the ground during microscale model tests. For the purpose of the experiment, a prototype of the pulling device was designed by modifying the direct shear device. The soil samples for strength tests were prepared assuming two leading parameters: water content and normal stress. The program was developed to determine the amount of force pulling the GFRP rod out of coarse-grained soil under the action of a vertical load of various sizes. Ultimately, the presented results of the preliminary tests will be used as the basis for planning tests with fiber-optic monitoring on real-scale models.
Citation Power
Authors: Coalter Jodi H.
Published: June 2023

Emerging from research dating back to the 1980's, citation justice is the practice of citing research based on both content and an author's identity. Due to citation gaps that exist across disciplines, citation practice is changing to cite authors of more diverse genders, races, and other marginalized identities. Librarians are uniquely situated in academic institutions to teach and encourage students and faculty to adjust their citation practice to close these gaps. This chapter describes citation justice in detail and describes the evidence for the need adjust citation practice to include identity. In addition, this chapter explores why librarians can effect the most change, and how this change needs to begin with students, before discussing the various ways librarian instruction can incorporate citation justice into their work.
Student-Centered Advocates

Undocumented students represent one of the most vulnerable groups served by United States schools. About 80,000 undocumented students turn 18 and approximately 98,000 graduate high school yearly (Zong & Batalova, 2019). When educators think of undocumented students, images and words like “illegal,” “dreamer,” and “borders” might come to mind. Undocumented students and families are more than their citizenship status. This chapter will address this population's many needs, highlighting how school counselors can holistically support undocumented and mixed-status families. It will do this by discussing the historical context, funds of knowledge, social-emotional wellness, academics, and college and career decisions.
Gender-Based Psychological Side Effects of Online Education in the Pandemic Under the Lens of Administrative Burden

Published: June 2023

Government–stakeholder interaction has been transformed due to some developments, putting stakeholders into a proactive role. However, there are barriers before this transformation, like an administrative burden. This burden's volume and relative weight could have increased in particular periods, like the pandemic. In this context, college students faced many difficulties, and uncertainties prevailed. This article focuses on a new administrative burden on undergraduate students in a particular country. This study aims to examine the administrative burden brought by the measures taken during the pandemic period on students by focusing on the psychological dimensions based on gender. At the end of the research, as expected, the authors saw that both female and male students underwent a psychological based administrative burden. Yet, since the imposition of gender inequality, female students have had a more significant workload due to studying at home, so they were affected more negatively throughout this process.
Online Harassment of Women Journalists in the Balkans
Authors: Lekic-Subasic Zeljka
Published: June 2023

Women journalists, as some of the most prominent and visible public figures, are frequently the targets of the cyber violence. Several studies stated that online abuse has a massive impact on women journalists and that it can cause psychological problems such as anxiety, stress, and fear, and it can lead to self-censorship. Through the analysis of existing data on online attacks on journalists in the Balkans, online survey addressing women journalists in particular and the series of interviews, the chapter aims to provide an overview of the online harassment of female journalists and explore their responses to abuse. The chapter shows the most common reported forms of abuse targeting female journalists victimize them in particular and gendered ways. They often don't report the violence due to lack of trust in authorities, and they are usually left alone facing intimidation and its psychological impact.

Malnutrition in all its forms has become the leading cause of poor health and death worldwide. The 2020 Global Nutrition Report stresses that the need to address malnutrition in all its forms by tackling injustices in food and health systems is now more urgent than ever. Over 820 million people went to bed hungry even before the COVID-19 pandemic, of which 110 million people were living in acute food insecurity. According to the World Food Programme, 135 million suffer from acute hunger largely due to man-made conflicts, climate change, and economic downturns. The COVID-19 pandemic could now double that number, putting an additional 130 million (total 265 million) people at risk of suffering acute hunger by the end of 2020. India is ranked 102 out of 117 countries the lowest in South Asia. Surprisingly Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan are performing better in terms of GHI. In this chapter, the authors analyse the nutritional security of marginalised groups in Andhra Pradesh and Telangna State.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Fiscal Health of India

Published: June 2023

With the emergence of COVID-19 within Odisha, preventive measures like partial or total lockdown of the state have been undertaken by the government to control its spread despite the provision of health-related infrastructure. Among the 14 major states of India, Odisha is a poor state. However, the spread of the pandemic has become massive. In this context, this chapter attempts to examine the fiscal health of India at the sub-national level from the state of Odisha. The revenue generation capacity declines to a larger extent while expenditure responsibilities in terms of health expenditures expand tremendously. Consequently, the state has to face serious difficulties in sustaining its fiscal balance. This chapter observes that the fiscal health of the state deteriorated to a larger extent during the lockdown period than the pre-lockdown period. In such a critical situation, the state needs to plan effective strategies to raise the level of income through fiscal policy allowing economic activities compromising the sanitization measures of the pandemic.
An extra-skeletal Ewing’s Sarcoma presenting with urinary retention- Impact of anatomical location on patient management; A case report

Published: June 2023

Background: Ewing’s sarcoma is one of the common malignant childhood tumours. The radiological features of pre-sacral Ewing’s sarcoma may mimic primary nerve sheath tumor or teratoma.
Case Presentation: A 16-year-old girl presented with acute retention of urine found to have a midline mass in the pre-sacral region of the pelvis in clinical examination and radiological scans. A preoperative biopsy was not done. The complex location and the need to excise the biopsy tract, if histology turned out to be malignant, predicated this decision. The tumor was entirely excised. The histological diagnosis was that of an Ewing’s Sarcoma, with focal infiltration of the surgical margins.
Conclusion: The anatomical site and size of an Ewing’s sarcoma should be considered before preoperative biopsy is considered. A biopsy result positive for malignancy would favor adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation, but requires the biopsy tract to be excised. Primary resection is the preferred choice when the location is complex.
