This article presents the main aspects of the conception, design and construction of self-designed recuperative burners. The starting point of the article is the operating principle of this specific type of combustion plant. This operating principle is based on the preheating of the combustor (combustion air) by taking over an important part of the enthalpy of its own combustion gases. Based on this principle, the recuperative burner of our own design has an energy efficiency that consists in reducing the specific consumption of fuel (natural gas) by about 25-35%. Also, the use of this specific type of combustion plant provides other functional advantages such as: a higher temperature in the hearth (due to a complete combustion), reduction of technological cycle times for the realization of various processes. The article also presents some functional parameters of a type-dimensional range of recuperative burners of our own design.

This work investigated the effect of antimony on the impact toughness and wear resistance of carbidic austempered ductile iron (CADI). Six alloys with a carbon equivalent value of 4.44 (hyper-eutectic composition) were used to evaluate the produced CADI, with antimony content ranging from 0.096 to 0.48 wt. %. The produced carbidic ductile irons (CDI) were heated to austenitic temperature of 910oC and held for 1 hour, then austempered at temperature of 325oC and held at different times (1-3 hours) to obtain carbidic austempered irons. Microstructural characterization was then carried out. The wear resistance was evaluated using a wear tester, it was noted that the wear resistance values of the CADI ranged from 2.35E8 cm-2 to 3.74E9 cm-2. The impact toughness of the CADI was determined using Charpy method, the results obtained ranged from 46.5 – 55J. It was observed that the as-cast CDI has graphite nodules, blocky carbides with a pearlitic matrix, the samples with antimony addition had granular carbides, the heat-treated samples had their matrix transformed to ausferrite while other structures remained unchanged. Sample with antimony content of 0.288 wt. % has the highest wear resistance value while sample with 0.096 wt. % has the best impact toughness value.

A case study of a 20-inch diameter gas transmission pipeline assesses theoretically how the synergetic use of pipeline internal coating and drag reducing agent increases the flow rate of a pipeline and its impact on the pipe internal friction. The American Gas Association (AGA) equation and Modified Colebrook-White equations were both used to estimate the capacity of the pipeline in its existing state, after internally coating and after injecting a drag reducing agent in the internally coated pipeline. By means of both AGA equations and Modified Colebrook–White equations, it was observed that Internal coating with surface roughness of 0.0045mm can increase the pipeline capacity (flowrate) by up to 22% for gas pipeline systems. Also, the synergetic use of a pipeline internal coating such as polyamide epoxy or solvent free epoxy and a Polyacrylamide drag reducing agent can increase the pipeline capacity (throughput) above 115.53% for GNGC gas pipeline systems. The analysis shows that synergetic use of internal coatings and drag reducers increases the capacity of gas pipelines and is economically justified with a typical payback period of three years.

Starting from this fact, our main aim in this note is threefold: (1) to briefly survey the early developments in the fixed point theory on quasimetric spaces (b-metric spaces); (2) to collect some relevant bibliography related to this topic; (3) to discuss some other aspects of current interest in the fixed point theory on quasimetric spaces (b-metric spaces)."
“The travesty Eneida” by Ivan Kotlyarevskyi in interpretation of Swedish scholar Alfred Jensen
Authors: Ilnytska Luiza
Published: September 2022

We analyze the work “The travesty Eneida” by Kotlyarevskyi by Alfred Jensen, the reknown Swedish Historian, Slavist and translator. This work was first published in German, within the scientific collection “Greetings to Ivan Franko in occasion of 40th anniversary of his writing activity, 1874–1914” (Lviv, 1916). The translation of this work into Ukrainian by Pavlo Volyanskyi was published in Peremyshl in 1921. The Scholar highly acclaims the poem “Eneida” by I. Kotlyarevskyi and that fact promoted an interest to the Ukrainian literature in the German-speaking cultural circles.
The analysis of this work is made in the context of Alfred Jensen’s interest in Ukraine during prolonged time. In the first place, we emphasize the role of his first trip to Ukraine in the mid-1890s, when he visited Kyiv, made a cruise along Dnipro river, visit ethnography exhibition in Lviv and travelled throughout Halychyna. The results of this trip formed the bulk of his edition “Slavia. Cultural sketches from Volga to Danube (1896–1897)”, in Swedish.
We cover the letter exchange between Alfred Jensen and Mykhailo Hrushevskyi and Mykhailo Kotsyubynskyi, his personal contacts with them, as well as with Ivan Franko and Vasyl Shchurat during his scientific trip to Ukraine, aimed on collecting material for his book about Hetman Ivan Mazepa, in 1909. This book was published in Stockholm in Swedish (1912), and then translated into Ukrainian by Natalia Ivanychuk, the translation being published twice (1993 and 2020). We mark also his book “Taras Shevchenko. The life of Ukrainian poet” in German (1910), translations of two stories by M. Kotsjubynskyi into Swedish and publishing them. We also emphasize his collabo-ration with M. Hrushevskyi in the “Notes of the Taras Shevchenko Scientific Society”, in particular his publications of archive materials about Ukrainian immigration in Sweden (Pylyp Orlyk and Voynaroskyi family). The works of A. Jensen about Ukraine keep their scientific value until now.

Keywords: Alfred Jensen, “Eneida”, Ivan Kotlyarevskyi, Ivan Franko, Mykhaylo Kotsyubynskyi, Mykhaylo Hrushevskyi, Hetman Ivan Mazepa, Hetman Pylyp Orlyk, Voynaroskyi family.
Russian Arctic development goals in the new international situation.

Published: September 2022

This article aims to address current Arctic developments against the background of long-term global shifts related to the emerging new system of technologies (therein the fourth energy transition) and respective moves in the international politics and economy. We demonstrate that despite its remote location and characteristic economic structure, the Arctic has for centuries been present in the world market with its unique raw materials, supplied by outside monopolist intermediaries. The situation started to change rapidly in the 1990s, under the globalization. A network of international organizations was established, transboundary contacts among northern regions and Indigenous Peoples increased dramatically. Inherent contradictions were growing in parallel and turned by early 2020s into ideologically laden discussions on the human role in the Arctic, on its target image (cooperation vs confrontation) and on the role of non-regional actors in the Arctic governance. A number of key options were actually chosen under the dramatically increased international tension in 2022.They will shape the future global Arctic, with Russia on the one ‘pole’ continuing massive development efforts and using actively its unique position as the only Asian Arctic nation to involve new actors (first of all, China) vs seven NATO member states involving major European countries plus the EU and pursuing a green agenda. The Russian Arctic Zone faces a somewhat sophisticated transformation under stringent restrictions (a sharp decrease in fuel exports to Europe, technological sanctions, environmentally motivated outside pressure, militarization, etc.). This situation makes it especially timely to adjust the development concept in line with the recent Arctic policy papers and legislation, namely to transit from resource extraction which relies on imported equipment and raw materials export towards supporting any businesses and using megaprojects to spur local economies and innovation.

The article is devoted to the analysis of ways to improve the efficiency of regional banks in the regions of the Russian Arctic. The approaches to the allocation of regional banking structures and the features of the organization of their activities are considered. Based on the analysis of the research of the leading authors, the positive influence of regional banks on the stability of socio-economic systems of the subjects of the Russian Federation, as well as on financial support for the implementation of regional economic processes, confirmed the thesis on the effectiveness of the implementation of various schemes of interaction between authorities and credit institutions for the development of the region, including by granting a credit institution a special status (a reference bank, authorized bank, partner bank). The authors highlighted criteria for determining the regions, for which it is effective to create a regional bank with a model of organizing activities based on interaction with authorities. Regional banks, operating in the regions of the Russian Arctic, are in detail studied, the directions of their specialization and the features of the models of organization of their activities are highlighted. The conditions and the need to create regional banks with a special status in the regions of the Russian Arctic, including supporting regional banks, are analyzed. It is concluded that currently there is a need and potential for the creation of such banks in such regions of the Russian Arctic as the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions, the Komi Republic. The article provides recommendations for improving the efficiency of regional banks operating in the Murmansk region (PJSC Murmansk Social Commercial Bank) and in the Komi Republic (PJSC Northern People's Bank) as well as for creating on their basis supporting regional credit organizations whose activities will contribute to the development of financial systems of these subjects of the Russian Federation.

Published: September 2022

Objectives. The increase of the efficiency of a separate transport mobile robot in a warehouse due to optimal regulation of the speed of its movement. It is required to control the position, speed, acceleration and direction of movement of the mobile robot at each moment of time along a known route. A method for forced control of the movement of a transport mobile robot was proposed. A control block for various motion maneuvers was developed in Simulink environment, which calculates the distance to the nearest turning point or stop and then by constructed cyclogram the corresponding speed at each moment of time is determined. The proposed control unit can be used in practice for the tasks of optimal movement of transport robots in predetermined area.Methods. The method of the theory of optimal control according to the criterion of maximum speed, the wave algorithm for finding the shortest path, the method of finite automata for relay control of the acceleration of movement are used.Results. Based on the proposed method of forced control of the movement of a transport mobile robot in the Simulink environment, a maneuver control system was developed that provides the minimum travel time for each segment of the path. Maneuvers mean the rectilinear movement of the robot, as well as its turn on the spot, in two modes: with and without reaching maximum speed. The technique is based on the assumption that the movement of the transport robot is uniformly accelerated. A side result of the developed control system is that when it is scaled to a group of robots, it becomes possible to predict the time and place of their potential collisions, in order to subsequently take into account a group of robots for effective control.Conclusion. The developed control system can be used to control a real transport mobile robot equipped with a servo drive in solving the problems of transporting goods around the warehouse.

La presente publicación tiene como fin exponer y explicar lo que algunos consideran problemas o conflictos de la interculturalidad en una comunidad como es el caso de los Shipibo-Konibo, todo ello representa hoy en día más que un desafío una tarea desde la perspectiva educativa y de gobierno, la cual aún está pendiente en pro de una educación inclusiva y democratizadora que no discrimine muy por el contrario que sea el puente y nexo entre las culturas vivas para poder empoderar y revalorarlos. Exponemos el sentir de los actores principales en una comunidad y en la educación, el docente, el alumno, los padres de familia y un líder de la comunidad Shipibo-Konibo; todo ello significó un reto mayor cuando se tiene una lengua diferente a la hablada por todos los docentes y otros investigadores que fuimos parte de esta investigación, ya que muchos de los participantes no hablábamos el idioma pero algunos si entendían para lo cual se contó con la ayuda de estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional Intercultural de la Amazonía, los cuales hablaban de forma fluida la lengua, siendo un puente transcendental para el desarrollo de la investigación. En tal sentido se buscó gestionar con la interpretación de la interculturalidad desde un trabajo multidisciplinar la cual es sin lugar a duda un importante aporte para futuras investigaciones. Por tanto, la presente publicación es la primera parte de un modesto trabajo, en el cual abordamos: primero la realidad del pueblo Shipibo-Konibo exponiendo algunos casos para poder entender la realidad, segundo se aborda la educación intercultural desde la teoría y trasladándola a la realidad, como tercer y último punto se caracteriza la educación intercultural en torno a la realidad de los Shipibo-Konibo para terminar con unas conclusiones enriquecedoras como muestra de todo lo que hemos podido observar y discernir en uno de los retos más grandes quizás que tenga el gobierno como es atender a las necesidades educativas de estos pueblos de habla Shipibo-Konibo quienes se sientes olvidados por sus autoridades.
Museum macht Schule
Authors: Hamann Sven
Published: September 2022

Die Beschäftigung mit der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus wird angesichts ihrer Bedeutung in politischen wie gesellschaftlichen Auseinandersetzungen der Gegenwart zunehmend relevanter für die heutige ›Generation Z‹.
Folgerichtig sollen bei der Neukonzeption des Jüdischen Museums in Rendsburg Jugendliche eng mit einbezogen werden. Im Schulgeschichtsunterricht der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit fand der Nationalsozialismus kaum Raum,
entsprechend bruchstückhaft waren die Kenntnisse der Schülerinnen und Schüler. Dies änderte sich erst mit dem Ende der 1970er Jahre, wobei vor allem die Rolle von Jüdinnen und Juden als Opfer der Shoah in den Vordergrund trat.
In der Neukonzeption des Jüdischen Museums in Rendsburg soll der Blick daher erweitert werden, sollen die jüdische Gegenwartskultur sowie der Umgang mit Antisemitismus und Rassismus zentrale Bestandteile der Ausstellung werden.
Im Sinne des ›multidirektionalen Erinnerns‹ nach Michael Rothberg könnte es gelingen, die Shoah auch im Jüdischen Museum in Rendsburg im größeren Kontext von Rassismus und Genoziden zu betrachten. Die Einbeziehung der
Besucherinnen und Besucher über die Konzeption der Ausstellung hinaus kann zudem einen Beitrag zur Erinnerungskultur leisten, indem ein Austausch zwischen verschiedenen Familiengedächtnissen stattfindet und eine lebendige
Ausstellung gelingt.

Authors: Bejrajh Viloshni , Themane Mahlapahlapana
Published: September 2022

This study aimed to explore teachers’ experiences of using smartphones in teaching and learning English in Capricorn South Circuit, Limpopo Province. We used a qualitative research approach and adopted a case study design to conduct the study. Purposive sampling strategy was used to select data from six teachers. Data were collected through three methods, namely; interviews, observation and a reflective journal. We adopted Strauss and Corbin’s Model to analyse data. Thus, the study generated three findings: (a) reluctance among some teachers to use smartphones in teaching and learning; (b) challenges experienced at schools such as contextual factors (e.g., poor network coverage) and disruptive learners; as well as (c) strategies used by teachers to plan and implement the use of smartphones in teaching and learning to determine its success. These findings have major implications for the use of smartphones in teaching English in schools. Therefore, the study recommends that there be training for teachers regarding the use of smartphones in teaching. Additionally, the study recommends that the school management should be supportive and actively involved in the implementation of using of smartphones for teaching and learning in schools. In conclusion, teachers should ensure that timeous and thorough planning is done to ensure success if the use of smartphones is to succeed. This study is significant because it emphasises the need for a shift in teaching from a teacher-centred approach to a learner-centred approach that incorporates the use of technology in classroom.

Parker Solar Probe has been the first spacecraft to enter the deep corona below the Alfvén critical point. Here we examine the higher-order statistical properties of magnetic-field fluctuations in the sub-Alfvénic solar wind and compare the results with the neighboring super-Alfvénic region. The intermittency and multifractal properties are analyzed by inspecting the probability density functions, the scale-dependent kurtosis, and fractal spectrum of magnetic-field fluctuations. It is found that the magnetic-field fluctuations present distinct intermittency and multifractal properties in the inertial range and the B

R
component reveals much higher intermittency and more asymmetrical multifractal spectrum than the other components. The non-Gaussian self-similarity of fluctuations of B

R
at larger scales has also been observed. Further comparative analysis shows that all the solar wind periods share nearly the same intermittency and multifractal features, and the only difference lies in that the fluctuations of the B

T
and B

N
components have slight variations.

We present the first estimate of the Galactic nova rate based on optical transient surveys covering the entire sky. Using data from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) and Gaia—the only two all-sky surveys to report classical nova candidates—we find 39 confirmed Galactic novae and 7 additional unconfirmed candidates discovered from 2019 to 2021, yielding a nova discovery rate of ≈14 yr−1. Using accurate Galactic stellar mass models and three-dimensional dust maps and incorporating realistic nova light curves, we have built a sophisticated Galactic nova model to estimate the fraction of Galactic novae discovered by these surveys over this time period. The observing capabilities of each survey are distinct: the high cadence of ASAS-SN makes it sensitive to fast novae, while the broad observing filter and high spatial resolution of Gaia make it more sensitive to highly reddened novae across the entire Galactic plane and bulge. Despite these differences, we find that ASAS-SN and Gaia give consistent Galactic nova rates, with a final joint nova rate of 26 ± 5 yr−1. This inferred nova rate is substantially lower than found by many other recent studies. Critically assessing the systematic uncertainties in the Galactic nova rate, we argue that the role of faint, fast-fading novae has likely been overestimated, but that subtle details in the operation of transient alert pipelines can have large, sometimes unappreciated effects on transient recovery efficiency. Our predicted nova rate can be directly tested with forthcoming red/near-infrared transient surveys in the southern hemisphere.

BACKGROUND: Amount of zinc-ions is correspond to insulin content in cytoplasm of β-cells. Diabetogenic zinc binding chemicals (DZC) formed with zinc in β-cells chelat complex that result destruction and death of β-cells within 10–15 min in animals.

AIM: The aim of the study was to investigate using of specific histochemical methods the content of zinc and insulin in β-cells of pancreatic islets of human intact fetal pancreas tissue and under action of diabetogenic and non-diabetogenic zinc-binding substances diabetogenic zinc diethyldithiocarbamate (DZ and DDC).

METHODS: Pancreas from 8-week-old human embryos and adult rabbits were used. Fixed or frozen islets were used in vitro effect. Histochemical methods for insulin and zinc in β-cells were used.

RESULTS: Results showed that zinc in human β-cells is clearly revealed using of histochemical methods. In embryo pancreas, not integral islets were found as clusters of cells or even individual β-cells. Insulin content in ß-cells is for 7–20% lower and Zn2+ by 16–18% in compared with rabbits; Zinc in human ß-cells formed chelat complexes with 8PTSQ and DZ as Zn2+ –8PTSQ and Zn2+–DZ. Sodium DDC, a non-diabetogenic Zn2+ chelator, formed not toxic complexes with Zn2+ in fetal β-cells that protect cells of destruction caused by DZC as in animal’s pancreas.

CONCLUSION: (1) Intracellular reactive zinc contained in human fetal pancreatic ß-cells clearly revealed using of histochemical methods and also (2) demonstrated that DZC in human ß-cells result formation with zinc of chelat complexes. (3) As in animals, non-toxic chemical as DDC is able to block zinc in ß-cells that result prevention of its destruction caused by DZC.

Soil is a fundamental component of the biosphere, whose properties and quality are affected by human activities, such as agriculture. Soil health is fundamental for different ecosystem services and soil biota has a crucial role in maintaining it. Elucidating how different crops and agricultural practices affect soil invertebrates communities is of relevance. In the present study, a DNA metabarcoding approach was adopted to evaluate the effects of different biotic and abiotic factors, including agricultural practices, on the composition and diversity of soil invertebrate communities of different agro-ecosystems (Po Plain-Italy). At this aim, the DNA markers and the more effective primers in retrieving soil metazoan communities were established. Bulk soil samples from different agro-ecosystems (i.e., cornfield, alfalfa, paddy fields, vineyard, stable meadow, woodland) were collected and, processed for obtaining 18S rRNA and coi sequences (raw reads analyzed using QIIME2 and R). Soil physical and chemical parameters were measured for each soil sample (e.g., pH, carbon-nitrogen ratio, texture, porosity) and metadata on farms management were retrieved.

The most efficient primer pairs in recovering soil metazoans were M620F/M1260R for 18S rRNA, and mlCOIintF/jgHCO2198R for coi gene. Soil communities resulted dominated by Nematoda, Arthropoda, Annelida, Rotifera and Tardigrada. The most diverse invertebrate communities have been found in the soil of stable meadows and woodlands, while cornfields showed the lowest level of diversity. The diversity of soil invertebrate communities (Hill numbers) was positively correlated with the level of porosity and carbon-nitrogen ratio, while it was negatively correlated with the phosphate abundance. This pattern probably reflects the negative effect of excessive fertilization with phosphates on soil fauna, while the abundance of organic matter and microhabitats were found to enhance the presence of more complex communities. Other soil properties were correlated only with specific taxa (e.g., pH was negatively correlated with the diversity of Annelida and Rotifera).

Distribution and conservation of vanilla crop wild relatives: the value of local community engagement for biodiversity research
Authors: Flanagan Nicola S. , Navia-Samboni Andres , González-Pérez Eimer Norberto , Mendieta-Matallana Hernan
Published: September 2022

Natural vanilla is a high-value crop with demand increasing globally. Crop wild relatives (CWR) represent valuable agrobiodiversity and are prioritized in the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation. Vanilla species are naturally rare with historically infrequent botanical collections. Despite their importance as CWR, fewer than 10% of Vanilla species have been evaluated for the IUCN Red List. Colombia is a diversity center for Vanilla species, yet many remote regions are lacking detailed floristic characterization. We show that the participation of rural communities in scientific endeavor enhances capacity to register biodiversity. We report two Vanilla species in the under-explored region of the Serranía de las Quinchas in the mid–Magdalena River valley in Colombia, including the first report for Colombia of Vanilla karen-christianae. For this, and the second species, Vanilla dressleri, we present descriptions with photographic botanical illustrations, updated distribution maps, and preliminary conservation status assessment. Both species are of elevated conservation concern, categorized as Endangered – EN: B2a,b(ii,iii,iv,v) following IUCN criteria. Within Colombia, all recorded occurrences for both species fall outside protected areas. Vanilla crop wild relatives in Colombia have urgent conservation needs. The Serranía de las Quinchas is a priority for further botanical exploration for Vanilla, as well as other protected areas with appropriate habitat. In situ conservation should be complemented with ex situ actions. Community participation in biodiversity research is recommended in this and other remote regions as an integral step towards enhancing biodiversity research and community-based conservation.

Published: September 2022

Two new species of Peucedanum (Apiaceae), P. miroense and P. tongkangense, from Gangwon Province, South Korea, are described. Both species are most similar to P. elegans and P. hakuunense because of their linear ultimate leaf segments. Peucedanum miroense was found on crevices of rocks in mountain summits and can be distinguished by its pubescent ovary, purple anthers, oblong schizocarp, and 1 or (2) vittae per vallecula and 4 on the commissural face. Peucedanum tongkangense was found in open areas on rocky cliffs along the Donggang River and can be distinguished by its glabrous ovary, whitish-yellow anthers, narrowly ellipsoid schizocarp, and 3 vittae per vallecula and 4 on the commissural face. Distinguishing characteristics, full descriptions, illustrations, photographs, taxonomic notes on geographical distribution, ecology, and phenology of the two species are presented. An identification key for all Korean species of Peucedanum is also provided. In addition, the mericarp surface of two new species and their close relatives are compared using micromorphological analysis.
Recruter en terrain paradoxal : le défi de la Légion étrangère
Authors: Henry Samuel
Published: September 2022

La Légion étrangère recrute environ un millier de jeunes par an, avec un fort taux de sélectivité. Pour cela, elle doit rendre attractif un métier que l’on croit réservé à des hommes désespérés. C’est la mission paradoxale que détaille Samuel Henry, qui applique dans le domaine de la communication des principes éprouvés dans le métier des armes : effet de l’empathie, efficacité de la débrouillardise combinée à la puissance de feu, impératif de simplicité, approche top-down “à hauteur d’homme” et gestion des biais d’ancrage.
La cybersécurité, nouvelle fonction support des PME et des start-up
Authors: Monerau Michael
Published: September 2022

Les chaînes de valeur dépendant de plus en plus du numérique, le rythme des cyberattaques s’accélère. Face à ce risque systémique, il faut désormais s’assurer de la bonne sécurisation de son environnement proche, en plus de celle de ses propres systèmes. C’est pourquoi les entreprises sont confrontées à de nouvelles exigences en matière de cybersécurité. Mais sans moyens dédiés suffisants, comment y faire face ? Quels sont les impacts sur la gestion des PME ? Qontrol leur propose une plateforme d’accompagnement sur la cybersécurité.
Maltraitance des personnes âgées : fausses pistes et vraies solutions
Authors: Collard Damien
Published: September 2022

À la suite de la sortie du livre Les Fossoyeurs , qui dénonce les dysfonctionnements d’un grand groupe privé gérant plus de 200 EHPAD en France, les responsables politiques se devaient de réagir. Malheureusement, les propositions chocs avancées passent à côté de l’essentiel, à savoir l’amélioration de la qualité des soins dispensés aux personnes âgées et la réhabilitation des espaces de discussion sur le travail. C’est ce que défend Damien Collard après une enquête menée pendant trois mois dans un service hospitalier de gériatrie.
Une conception développementale et écosystémique de l’autodétermination pour l’accompagnement des personnes ayant une déficience intellectuelle
Authors: Caouette Martin , Pellerin Sarah , Charette Catherine
Published: September 2022

Depuis une cinquantaine d’années, l’autodétermination constitue un thème d’intérêt pour les personnes en situation de handicap, notamment celles ayant une déficience intellectuelle. Au cours de cette période, plusieurs auteurs ont proposé des modèles conceptuels et théoriques afin de rendre compte de ce qu’est l’autodétermination et de la façon d’agir pour en soutenir l’émergence. Ces multiples modèles appellent désormais à un effort d’intégration afin d’assurer une cohérence des pratiques d’accompagnement favorisant l’autodétermination. Nous appuyant sur les principaux modèles proposés jusqu’à maintenant, cet article propose un cadre intégrateur de ceux-ci selon deux axes complémentaires en interaction, soit le développement de la personne et l’écosystème dans lequel il évolue. Résolument centrée sur la pratique, cette proposition est un moyen de soutenir l’analyse pédagogique et clinique des défis liés au développement de l’autodétermination des personnes ayant une déficience intellectuelle, et ce à tout âge de la vie.
Comment bien choisir ses instruments d’évaluation et de formation à l’autodétermination ?
Authors: Fontana-Lana Barbara , Petitpierre Geneviève , Uhlig Andreas , Geurts Hélène , Haelewyck Marie-Claire , Lachapelle Yves
Published: September 2022

L’importance de déployer des pratiques éducatives soutenant l’émergence et le maintien d’actions autodéterminées n’est plus à prouver. Le défi majeur pour l’ensemble des professionnels est actuellement celui de choisir les instruments adéquats, tant pour évaluer que pour former à l’autodétermination, selon les caractéristiques spécifiques des situations à accompagner. Cet article propose un ensemble de réflexions permettant de guider le choix d’un outil d’évaluation et/ou d’un support de formation de bonne qualité. Il présente aussi trois outils d’évaluation (l’échelle du LARIDI ; le Questionnaire de Choix et l’Inventaire de l’autodétermination) et trois programmes d’intervention (C’est l’avenir de qui après tout ; C’est Ma Vie. Je la choisis !; le Manuel de formation à l’autodétermination et à la participation citoyenne de la personne présentant une déficience intellectuelle) particulièrement intéressants et disponibles dans les régions francophones.
En chemin vers des formations accessibles. Analyse de deux formations inclusives
Authors: Gasparaux Justine , Merini Corinne , Thomazet Serge
Published: September 2022

Cet article rend compte d’une recherche menée en collaboration avec l’association Trisomie 21 Alpes-Maritimes. L’étude qualitative menée auprès de deux organismes de formation nous a permis de confronter les formateurs à la vidéo de leurs séances, d’organiser des débats de métiers autour des points saillants extraits de cette première phase puis de cartographier l’écosystème dans lequel les deux formations prennent place. Ainsi, nous avons pu identifier la manière dont les formateurs rendent leurs enseignements inclusifs, facilitent l’accès aux noyaux de compétences visés par l’agencement des enseignements et l’interactivité dans lesquels prennent place les formations. Au-delà, nous avons pu cerner en quoi les normes de l’écosystème  ordinaire  peuvent constituer des freins à la promotion à l’autodétermination des stagiaires dans leur parcours formatif.
Vivre le handicap en établissement. Résonances en termes de sexualité et d’autodétermination ?
Authors: Boivin Julia , Fournier Jennifer
Published: September 2022

D’un point de vue socio-historique, la question de l’accroissement d’un choix possible et d’une liberté est corrélative à celle de la sexualité. Les formes, expressions et normes sexuelles se sont largement multipliées et diversifiées. Pour autant, ces libertés (en termes de pratiques mais aussi de liberté de parole) ou ces choix en matière de sexualité sont-ils également accessibles à toutes et tous ? Qu’en est-il pour les personnes en situation de handicap qui sont accueillies en établissement et qui dépendent d’autres qu’elles-mêmes pour les gestes de la vie quotidienne ? Prenant appui sur la parole vivante des premiers et premières concernées, nous verrons quelles sont, de leur point de vue, les entraves qui persistent concernant l’autodétermination et l’accès à une sexualité.
Autodétermination et (dés)institutionnalisation : un faux débat ?
Authors: Blin Marc , Saunier Annabelle
Published: September 2022

Le concept d’autodétermination est souvent abordé de manière différentielle, mettant en opposition compétences et déficits, risque et protection, handicaps éligibles ou non éligibles, milieu ordinaire et établissements spécialisés, institutionnalisation et désinstitutionnalisation. Défendant une approche humaniste autour de la conviction inconditionnelle d’appartenance, nous rendons compte d’une recherche ethnographique en IMPro. Les résultats montrent que le développement d’espaces de  faire avec  et de négociation permettent aux adolescents de développer de réelles habiletés à l’autodétermination. Ces résultats soulignent en outre notre responsabilité collective et partagée dans ce processus de promotion de l’autodétermination. Aussi le débat mettant en opposition institutionnalisation et autodétermination nous semble-t-il devoir être sérieusement réinterrogé.
Le numérique comme bien commun et la protection des données, notamment concernant les élèves à Besoins éducatifs particuliers : un exemple, l’usage de la réalité augmentée
Authors: Pionnier Xavier
Published: September 2022

Le numérique comme bien commun à l’école est une gageure ! Pourtant il s’inscrit dans les programmes depuis plus de 40 ans. Certaines fois mis en avant de façon transversale, d’autres fois par entrée disciplinaire, souvent ce sont les outils qui prennent le dessus sur la didactique, la pédagogie et la sécurité. L’usage du numérique, notamment auprès des élèves à besoin éducatif particulier, est un levier pertinent des blocages dans les apprentissages. Actuellement, la réalité augmentée ou virtuelle est mise en avant avec concordance des dernières recherches en matière de métacognition et neuroscience. Nous nous proposons d’aborder cela par le prisme d’une recherche qui questionne l’usage de la réalité augmentée afin de permettre de faire évoluer les pratiques d’une démarche scientifique.
L’urgence du temps : instantanéité et nouvelles formes de guerres conventionnelles
Authors: Rialland Pierre
Published: September 2022

L’idée de se faire la guerre entre puissances paraît corsetée, diminuée dans ses capacités d’expression maximale par l’étouffoir rationnel de la dissuasion nucléaire et amputée aussi par le fait que les coups pouvaient être portés par des stratégies hybrides qui contournent les champs de bataille. Et pourtant, les pays du monde entier ne cessent de s’équiper en armement dernier cri. C’est tout simplement que la perspective de la guerre reste un élément clé des rapports de force. En revanche, ce sont ses modalités qui ne cessent d’évoluer au gré des idées et des techniques. Cet article aborde deux aspects de la guerre qui se profile : son instantanéité croissante qui soumet les dirigeants à une urgence inédite et son évolution conceptuelle qui préfigure de nouveaux déséquilibres dans les affrontements.
Le contrôle quantique : catalyseur d’intelligibilité dans un univers stratégique en mutation
Authors: de France Olivier
Published: September 2022

La seconde révolution quantique est engagée. Elle porte en germe, à échéance 10-15 ans, de puissants bouleversements technologiques. Elle ouvre la voie à la possibilité de « modeler » la matière, de la simuler, de la reproduire, d’opérer des calculs hors normes et, plus globalement, de mieux appréhender notre environnement dans son infinie complexité. Le champ d’application est immense : de l’économie à l’industrie, en passant par la finance, la santé et, bien sûr, la Défense. Comme l’irruption du « fait nucléaire » en 1945 a ouvert une nouvelle ère géopolitique fondée sur la Dissuasion, la maîtrise et l’exploitation des principes de la physique quantique annoncent une modification profonde des rapports de force dans un espace de conflictualité en pleine mutation.
Définir le rôle des ESSD dans un contexte de compétition stratégique
Authors: Soubrier Gabriel
Published: September 2022

L’externalisation au sein des armées françaises se limite actuellement aux activités de soutien pour des raisons de blocages culturels et de freins juridiques. Or, dans le contexte géopolitique actuel marqué par la compétition et en cohérence avec l’ambition stratégique de la France de remporter la victoire sur les nouveaux champs de bataille, l’emploi des Entreprises de services de sécurité et de défense (ESSD) en appui direct des opérations militaires serait un démultiplicateur d’efficacité. Faire converger le besoin institutionnel identifié avec l’offre privée désormais structurée, dans un cadre économique, juridique et éthique pragmatique, est une nécessité pour affronter la guerre qui vient.
Vers un renforcement de la dissuasion nucléaire de l’Otan ?
Authors: Fourneret Julien
Published: September 2022

Depuis plusieurs décennies, sous le prisme des « dividendes de la paix » le concept stratégique de l’Otan a relativisé le rôle des armes nucléaires pour assurer la sécurité collective de l’Alliance. La guerre en Ukraine, déclenchée en février 2022, démontre qu’il serait illusoire et particulièrement risqué d’affaiblir ce pilier de la stratégie otanienne. Car la dissuasion nucléaire empêche la guerre sous ses formes les plus graves, c’est-à-dire celles qui pourraient conduire à l’anéantissement de notre Nation ou d’un membre de l’Alliance. Aussi, il semble intéressant d’étudier comment le concept français de dissuasion peut servir de modèle de réflexion et de renforcement de la crédibilité de la dissuasion nucléaire de l’Otan.
