Lessons Learned about Radicalization. The case of Hamas Radicalization Campaign and the New Wave of Extremism
Authors: Iulia-Mihaela Drăgan
Published: December 2024

Traditionally, the radicalization phenomenon has been explained as a process of individually or collectively incorporating a violent ideology based on extremism of various factors (ethnic, political, religious) in order to achieve objectives contrary to democracy and the rule of law in a state or society. The wave of extremism implies a thematic tendency in which the energy of massive groups of people is directed to extremist ends. In this article, we analyze the elements of a new wave of expanding extremism generated by the crisis in Gaza. Thus, the article analyzes this event as a turning point for the international security architecture, in comparison with the wave of radicalization initiated by ISIS in the past decade. So, the premise of the article emphasizes that the Hamas terrorist attack represented a trigger for a new wave of extremism with global reverberations. By using a methodology based on a comparative analysis, the article intends to extract the lessons learned from the wave of terrorism generated by ISIS in relation to the new elements identified in the wave of extremism in development determined by Hamas. The purpose of the research is that, by comparison, we can extract the lessons learned from the experience of a retreating wave of terrorism generated by ISIS. In this sense, in order to draw attention to some early warning aspects, the elements we propose to be analyzed consist of the transnational character, the new-media impact, directing the energy of massive groups, extremist beliefs and desires for societal change.

4Ps and Consumer Purchase Decisions: A Study of Giant Ekspres Makassar
Authors: Dwinanda Giri
Published: December 2024

This study investigated the influence of the 4Ps marketing mix (product, price, promotion, and place) on consumer purchase decisions within the Makassar Giant Ekspres retail industry. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis using SmartPLS 4.0, the study analyzed data from 100 respondents. The findings revealed that the 4Ps marketing mix significantly influenced purchase decisions, explaining 48% of the variance.  The inner model analysis indicated that "price" had the most substantial impact on purchase decisions.  Hypothesis testing confirmed the significant influence of "price," "promotion," and "place" on purchase decisions, while "product" showed no significant influence. These results suggest that consumers are increasingly driven by price, promotion, and convenience when making purchase decisions.  They are less concerned with traditional product-centric factors such as variety, quality, and appearance.  In essence, consumers are more likely to purchase a product, even if it is not a necessity or doesn't meet their ideal standards, as long as it is priced competitively, promoted effectively, and easily accessible.

Tyrimo tikslas. Palyginti vaistų, dažniausiai sukeliančių kepenų pažeidimą, vartojimo savitumus tarp studentų, studijuojančių sveikatos mokslus, ir studentų, studijuojančių kitose, su sveikatos mokslais nesusijusiose, programose. Metodai. Epidemiologinis stebėsenos analitinis momentinis tyrimas, kuriam naudota originali internetinė apklausa. Surinkti duomenys kaupiami ir apdorojami naudojant „Microsoft Office Excel“ programą. Statistinei duomenų analizei ir skaičiavimams naudotas statistinių duomenų analizės paketas „IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0“. Papildomai rinkti Lietuvos farmacijos rinkos duomenys iš „PharmaZOOM“ platformos, analizuojant metines vaistų, įtrauktų į klausimyną, pardavimų ataskaitas. Rezultatai. Tyrime dalyvavo 200 studentų. Antibiotikus per pastaruosius metus vartojo 92 (46 proc.) studentai. Sveikatos mokslus studijuojantys studentai rečiau vartojo antibiotikus be gydytojo skyrimo, palyginti su kitų programų studentais (p = 0,025). Nesteroidinius vaistus nuo uždegimo vartojo 173 (86,5 proc.) studentai. Sveikatos mokslus studijuojantys studentai statistiškai reikšmingai dažniau vartojo nesteroidinius vaistus nuo uždegimo (p = 0,013) ir geriau žinojo apie galimus šalutinius poveikius (p < 0,001). 27 (17,5 proc.) apklausoje dalyvavusios moterys vartojo kontraceptinius preparatus. 13 (6,5 proc.) studentų vartojo antidepresantus. 140 (70 proc.) studentų vartojo paracetamolį. Sveikatos mokslus studijuojantys studentai statistiškai reikšmingai dažniau žinojo, kokia paracetamolio dozė yra saugiausia vartoti (p < 0,001). Lyginant 2015 ir 2023 m. farmacijos rinkos pardavimų duomenis, visų vaistų grupių pardavimai didėjo arba išliko nepakitę. Išvados. Daugiau nei du trečdaliai studentų vartojo nesteroidinius vaistus nuo uždegimo ir (arba) paracetamolį, o beveik kas antras per pastaruosius metus vartojo antibiotikus. Dauguma studentų (bent 60 proc. visose tirtose vaistų grupėse) žino vaistų šalutinius poveikius. Sveikatos mokslus studijuojantys studentai dažniau vartojo nesteroidinius vaistus nuo uždegimo ir paracetamolį nei kitų programų studentai (p < 0,05). Sveikatos mokslus studijuojantys studentai dažniausiai geriau išmanė vaistų vartojimo rekomendacijas ir šalutinius poveikius bei rečiau vartojo antibiotikus be gydytojo skyrimo. Lietuvoje dažniausiai parduodami vaistiniai preparatai, kurie gali turėti hepatotoksinį poveikį, yra NVNU ir antidepresantai. Tirtuoju laikotarpiu visų vaistų grupių pardavimai arba didėjo, arba išliko stabilūs.

(Re)constructing ambivalent identities in Zahia Rahmani’s
France: récit d’une enfance
(2006) and Alice Zeniter’s
L’Art de perdre
(2017)
Authors: Hensey Clíona
Published: December 2024

This article examines multivocal, intersubjective explorations of ambivalent identity in two literary works centring female descendants of
harkis
(Algerian auxiliary soldiers enlisted in the French army during the Algerian War). Zahia Rahmani’s
France: récit d’une enfance
(2006) and Alice Zeniter’s
L’Art de perdre
(2017) document their protagonists’ struggles to reconstruct, and simultaneously reconfigure or subvert, complex memories and identities fragmented by colonial history and its afterlives. Plural, often transgressive, forms of speech, dialogue, and storytelling are shown to facilitate explorations of ambivalent intergenerational and intercultural affect, also emerging as forces of critique, resistance, and interpellation. In their navigation of conflictual, ambiguous histories that place diverse memories and identities in productive tension, both texts complicate notions of belonging and inheritance. Their layered, dialogic narrative quests treat subjectivity, memory, and temporality as plural, fluid, and contingent, resisting straightforward identification with a singular identity marker, whether
harki
, Algerian, Amazigh (Berber), French, or otherwise. Crucially, through the real and imagined landscapes they traverse, they also turn outwards in their questioning of broader oppressive, traumatogenic structures and reductive narratives. ‘Pre-written’ narratives, whether involving colonial or contemporary Algeria, the experiences of the
harkis
or those of rural French communities, are thus deconstructed and rewritten. Drawing on theorizations and interrogations of postcolonial hybridity and witnessing, this article argues that these narrative (re)constructions privilege neither unified subjectivity nor potentially essentialized forms of fragmentary identity. Citing yet interrogating institutionalized narratives of memorialization, reconciliation, and reparation, Rahmani and Zeniter present ambivalent, fractured intergenerational transmission as a shifting locus of encounter, exchange, and contestation.
Undoing conceptual languages? Epistemic ambivalence as self-reflexive agency in Kaouther Adimi’s
Des pierres dans ma poche
(2015)
Authors: Ford Joseph
Published: December 2024

Migration writing has often been defined and read in relation to a writer’s own experiences and migration story. This has been principally visible in political and media discourses, where writers are co-opted by, indeed place themselves into, the political and media arena as a means of promoting their work. However, even when focusing on lesser-known writers not subject to the same levels of political and media visibility, literary critics have tended to align forms of a character’s agency with that of their author’s own ‘journey’ from the place of ‘departure’ to that of an ‘arrival’. In an analysis of the Algerian writer Kaouther Adimi’s 2015 novel,
Des pierres dans ma poche
, I ask how writers might be seen to theorize their own epistemic ambivalence as a form of self-reflexive agency, in order to tell a more complicated story about the contemporary movement of people and texts across (post)colonial borders, with a critical and self-reflexive eye to the coloniality of the conceptual languages of the borders, boundaries, and knowledge systems critics use to describe and understand writers, texts, and their worlds.
Contradictions in US-Ukraine Relations During the Russian Aggression: A Strategic Interdependence Analysis
Authors: Pashkov Viktor
Published: December 2024

This article examines the evolving contradictions between Ukraine and the United States during Russia's full-scale invasion, despite their strategic partnership. Analysing the divergent goals and interests between Kyiv and Washington, it identifies key disagreements over defining Ukraine’s victory, post-war borders, negotiations with Vladimir Putin, NATO membership prospects, and security guarantees. While Ukraine seeks complete territorial restoration and definitive NATO membership, the United States adopts a cautious approach, prioritizing regional stability and avoiding direct conflict with Russia. The study underscores Ukraine’s unique leverage as a victim of aggression, allowing it to influence US policy despite its dependence on military aid. These findings contribute to understanding asymmetric relationships and the complexities of allied dynamics in wartime, offering insights into post-conflict security architecture.
Societal Resolve Amid War:
Lessons from Ukraine´s Response to the Russian Invasion
Authors: Leitlande Gita
Published: December 2024

This study explores the phenomenon of societal resolve as demonstrated by Ukraine during Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. By synthesising existing research, the article identifies 12 defining features of Ukraine's societal resolve, categorised into long-term qualities, such as a strong national identity and civic duty, and short-term responses, including collective volunteering and unity under existential threat. These factors highlight Ukraine's successful nation-building, democratic aspirations, and robust leadership. The findings provide insights into how societal resolve emerges and operates during crises, offering valuable lessons for other nations. The study emphasises the interplay of psychological resilience, national unity, and effective leadership in fostering societal strength, contributing to the discourse on national security and resilience in times of conflict.

Sport de haut niveau : l’insécurité comme doctrine managériale
Authors: Fleuriel Sébastien
Published: December 2024

La qualité de sportif de haut niveau reconnue par la loi sur le sport de 1975 ne répond pas à un statut professionnel à proprement parler. Bien qu’elle ouvre droit depuis 2012 à une prise en compte de trimestres de cotisation pour la retraite, elle résiste à la qualification de travail à part entière et place celles et ceux qui en bénéficient dans un entre-deux problématique. Le présent article tente d’élucider les raisons de cet archaïsme et formule la proposition selon laquelle il répond à une doctrine managériale posant l’insécurité des sportifs et sportives comme moyen de contrôle efficace de ces derniers.

La piscine publique, les nageurs, le maire et le réchauffement climatique
Authors: Hachet Benoît
Published: December 2024

Au-delà d’un regard comptable sur les piscines publiques, le plus souvent en déficit, cet article insiste sur leur utilité sportive, sociale et politique. En plus de permettre la prévention de noyades et la pratique de la natation de compétition, elles servent d’espace de loisir et de sociabilité, car elles constituent des îlots de fraîcheur indispensables en période de réchauffement climatique. Dans le même temps, les piscines publiques sont énergivores, grandes consommatrices d’eau, et se retrouvent de ce fait au centre de réflexions sur les manières de réorienter les équipements sportifs municipaux en période de crise climatique. La reconquête des espaces aquatiques naturels dans le cadre des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques (JOP) de Paris 2024 est une promesse inscrite dans le dossier de candidature et offre un horizon vers lequel tendre.
Quels apports le métavers pourrait-il amener aux systèmes de santé ?
Authors: Brunet Fabrice , Mulumba Blondy Kayembe , Pomey Marie-Pascale
Published: December 2024

Les systèmes de santé sont confrontés à des enjeux majeurs qui les mettent sous tension pour répondre correctement aux attentes des usagers. Il s’agit notamment de la complexification de l’accès aux ressources humaines qualifiées et des limites des ressources financières qui peuvent être investies. À ce titre, le métavers peut trouver des solutions à ces défis. Dans ce texte, nous abordons les champs d’application et apports possibles du métavers dans les systèmes de santé. Les champs d’application comprennent la formation pour renforcer les compétences des professionnels de la santé, la dispensation de soins pour améliorer la qualité des services, la communication pour faciliter le partage d’information entre les différentes parties prenantes, et la recherche pour optimiser l’adhésion et la sécurité des participants. Toutefois, le métavers peut aussi avoir des effets négatifs sur les personnes qui l’utilisent autant que sur celles qui en bénéficient. Il s’agit notamment de la cybercriminalité et de l’atteinte de la santé physique, mentale et sociale. Des recherches évaluatives sont donc nécessaires pour mesurer l’étendue et les conditions de son applicabilité.
Partir ou rester ? Les médecins hospitaliers à l’épreuve des réformes de santé
Authors: Cornet Cécile , Maltis Aurore Laetitia , Balizet Delphine , Sampers Anaïs , Frache Sandra
Published: December 2024

Introduction : Dans un contexte de crise au sein de l’hôpital public, la question du désengagement des professionnels de santé est primordiale. Le nombre croissant de démissions, largement médiatisé pour les infirmières et les aides-soignantes, se propage également au sein de la profession de médecin. But de l’étude : L’Espace de réflexion éthique Bourgogne – Franche-Comté a choisi d’investiguer les raisons du vacillement de l’engagement des médecins exerçant au sein de l’hôpital public au travers d’une étude qualitative. Résultats : Coupes budgétaires, manque d’effectifs, manque de lits, devoir de rentabilité… seraient à l’origine du surinvestissement des professionnels de santé et participeraient de manière plus globale au désengagement des médecins envers le service public hospitalier. Conclusions : Les contraintes énumérées par les médecins hospitaliers pointent du doigt les politiques managériales actuelles du système de santé public. Ces différentes critiques des outils mis en place dans la gestion et le mode de financement des hôpitaux mettent en lumière les conflits macro et microsociaux du système public hospitalier menaçant sa pérennité.
Négociations et compromis
Authors: Hou Renyou
Published: December 2024

La Chine rurale contemporaine est fortement impactée par le phénomène des migrations internes : les ruraux quittent la campagne pour travailler en ville. Dans ce contexte, les pratiques matrimoniales connaissent des changements notables.À travers une enquête ethnographique menée au sein d’un village du nord de la Chine dans les années 2010, l’auteur examine la manière dont les pratiques matrimoniales des jeunes villageois traduisent la recherche d’un équilibre entre leur volonté individuelle, notamment d’émancipation, et les attentes familiales et sociales de leur milieu d’origine : se marier et perpétuer la lignée familiale. Ces changements remettent rarement en cause le système de parenté patrilinéaire. C’est ce réajustement des pratiques qui permet le maintien de l’institution du mariage en Chine rurale contemporaine.
Anjela Duval : un modèle de consécration littéraire ?
Authors: Thomas Mannaig
Published: December 2024

Les processus de reconnaissance dont bénéficient les écrivaines et les écrivains peuvent être très variés, à la fois dans leurs modalités, leurs temporalités, leurs extensions spatiales, mais aussi dans la manière dont ils peuvent finir par être naturalisés. Cet article s’intéresse aux différentes étapes du processus de consécration qui ont fait de la poétesse en langue bretonne Anjela Duval une figure régionale reconnue bien au-delà de sa sphère littéraire initiale. Anjela Duval a bénéficié, et bénéficie encore, de marqueurs de reconnaissance très divers, dont certains relèvent du domaine littéraire (la publication de ses œuvres complètes, par exemple), mais également d’une visibilité bien plus large (odonymie, statues à son effigie, nom donné à diverses institutions…).

Gun Database and Indexer for Smart Contract-Enabled Chains
Authors: Modak Adwaita Raj , Niha K. , Swarnalatha P. , Addanki Gandhi Kishor
Published: December 2024

Blockchain technology introduces decentralized and immutable ledgers that provide trust and transparency in data management whereas smart contracts can automate business processes. Accessing, and querying data stored on blockchain networks can be challenging due to their complex data structures and limited querying capabilities. In this chapter, we will enhance smart contract-enabled chains' functionality by developing a decentralized database and distributed indexer system capable of executing SQL-like queries on blockchain data.
