Published: January 2025

This study tests the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory based on the interaction of entrepreneurial orientation, namely proactiveness, innovativeness, and risk-taking, on the business performance of Small and Medium Industries (SMIs) in Bali. The population of this study is SMIs in Bali with a sample of 55 randomly selected companies. Data collection was conducted through a survey using a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale to obtain respondents' perceptions. Data analysis used descriptive analysis and inferential analysis with SEM-PLS method. The results showed that the three dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation have a significant influence on business performance. A proactive attitude allows companies to respond quickly to market changes, innovation encourages the creation of new products and services, while risk-taking allows the exploration of new opportunities. This research supports the RBV theory which states that a firm's unique resources and capabilities can create competitive advantage and improve business performance in a sustainable manner. performance in a sustainable manner.
Pandangan Psikologi Pendidikan Terhadap Faktor Pembawaan Anak Usia Remaja Dalam Keluarga
Authors: Nelly Tsania Nelly Fakhrina , Mamun Hanif
Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini membahas tentang peranan faktor pembawaan dan lingkungan keluarga terhadap perkembangan psikologis remaja. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berdasarkan penelitian literatur untuk menganalisis bagaimana faktor pembawaan atau genetik dan lingkungan keluarga membentuk kepribadian dan perilaku remaja. Meski faktor genetik mempunyai pengaruh yang kuat terhadap potensi bawaan, namun penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lingkungan keluarga, terutama pola pengasuhan yang positif, komunikasi yang terbuka, dan dukungan emosional dari orang tua, berperan penting dalam membentuk kepribadian remaja. Remaja yang tumbuh dalam lingkungan keluarga yang mendukung cenderung memiliki keterampilan sosial yang baik, percaya diri, dan mampu beradaptasi terhadap tantangan sosial. Di sisi lain, remaja yang mengalami perselisihan keluarga lebih besar kemungkinannya mengalami stres, kecemasan, dan masalah perilaku. Penelitian ini juga berfokus pada tiga aliran utama yang mempengaruhi pandangan tentang faktor genetik: natalisme, yang menekankan peran genetika, empirisme, yang menekankan peran lingkungan, dan konvergensi, yang saya kira menggabungkan keduanya. Hasil penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya pendekatan pendidikan holistik  yang mempertimbangkan aspek genetik dan lingkungan keluarga. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, para pendidik, psikolog, dan orang tua dapat berkolaborasi untuk mengembangkan strategi pendidikan yang komprehensif untuk mendukung perkembangan  sosial, emosional, dan intelektual remaja yang optimal. Temuan ini diharapkan dapat memberikan wawasan baru dalam pengembangan intervensi pendidikan yang lebih efektif berdasarkan pemahaman menyeluruh tentang dinamika keluarga dan faktor genetik.
Peran Dan Pemikiran Syafi`i Antonio, Adiwarman Karim Dan Ma`ruf Amin Dalam Pengembangan Ekonomi Islam
Authors:   Institut Agama Islam An-Nawawi Purworejo Indonesia, Sudarmaji Waluyo
Published: January 2025

In order to raise the spirit of Indonesian Muslims, it is very important to present the thoughts of these figures so that their thoughts can become a foundation that is then applied in real terms in the life of the nation and state. Among the figures who can be a source of inspiration are Muhammad Syafi`I Antonio, Adiwarman Azwar Karim and also KH. Ma`ruf Amin. The purpose of this study is to determine the Islamic economic thoughts of the three figures and to compare them. The study was conducted using a qualitative method using library research that was analyzed descriptively analytically. The results of the study show that the roles and thoughts of Syafi'i Antonio, Adiwarman Karim, and Ma'ruf Amin in the development of Islamic economics highlight their contributions in strengthening the foundations of the economy according to Islamic sharia principles. Syafi'i Antonio is known for his practical approach in the business and financial sectors, while Adiwarman Karim developed an in-depth theoretical analysis for Islamic economics globally and nationally. Ma'ruf Amin advocates for fair and inclusive economic policies at the social and political levels of Indonesia. Although their approaches are different, the unity of the three figures' thinking lies in the rejection of usury and an approach that emphasizes justice and blessings in economic distribution. Collectively, the three provide a strong foundation for the development of a sustainable and relevant Islamic economy for Muslims, facing challenges and opportunities in various global and local contexts.
Tinjauan Hukum Sayembara Dalam Islam Terhadap Kegiatan Mulung Koin Pada Live Streaming Tiktok
Authors:   UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang Indonesia, Cholilah Zahirotu , Irfan Muh. ,   UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya Indonesia
Published: January 2025

TikTok is a social media platform supported with music features, filters, and various other creative features. Recently TikTok added a new feature that allows users to use the TikTok Live or live streaming feature. Live TikTok enables creators and users to communicate directly. TikTok Live also allows viewers to receive TikTok coins as a commission for activities that have been carried out, such as collecting coins during live streams organized by TikTokers or viewers. The organizer can also set the number of spectators who receive coins as they wish, so that not all spectators who press the treasure chest icon will receive coins. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out how the law of competition in Islam is against the activity of mulung koin on TikTok live streaming. This research is field research using a qualitative approach. The data collection method in this study uses observation and documentation methods. Data analysis was carried out using the theory proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, using techniques such as data condensation, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that live streaming of the TikTok application according to Islamic sharia is included in the ju'alah/competition contract. Judging from the terms and conditions of the ju'alah contract, this mulung koin activity has been fulfilled. However, the organizer of the mulung koin should explain the harmony and conditions of the ju'alah contract that the salary or wages in the contract are not divided equally among each scavenger so as not to cause doubts.

The increasing number of career women in modern society introduces new dynamics to domestic life, particularly in balancing household and professional roles. In Krumpakan Village, Kajoran, Magelang, women juggling responsibilities as wives, mothers, and professionals face diverse implications for household harmony. From an Islamic legal perspective, maintaining a balance between family duties and career is crucial for upholding family unity in line with sharia principles. This study explores the impact of career women on household harmony in Krumpakan Village, examining both positive and negative aspects while analyzing their alignment with Islamic law. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with career women, their husbands, and religious figures, as well as direct observation of their domestic life. Findings reveal that career women contribute positively to household harmony, such as enhancing family income, but also face challenges like reduced family time and the strain of dual roles. Islamic law permits women to work as long as they fulfill their duties as wives and mothers and adhere to sharia principles. Supportive partners and equitable task distribution are critical to achieving a balance between career and home life. This study concludes that household harmony can be sustained through the synergy of career women's roles, family support, and adherence to Islamic legal values.

Child marriage prevention is a shared responsibility carried out by various parties, which are then called stakeholders. Even so, child marriage still occurs a lot and continues to increase, one of which is in Kajoran District, Magelang. This study focuses on examining the factors of child marriage, the role of stakeholders, and obstacles to preventing child marriage in Kajoran District, Magelang. This study is qualitative and field research with a legal and sociological approach. Data sources from parents, stakeholders, and children. Data analysis includes data reduction, data display, and conclusions. The results of this study are: first, the factors of child marriage in Kajoran District are caused by the culture and mindset of the community that is permissive towards child marriage, low awareness of education, pregnancy outside of marriage, or intimate relationships outside of marriage. Second, the role of stakeholders in overcoming child marriage has been carried out according to regulations and their respective responsibilities but has not been optimal and synergistic. Third, the constraints of stakeholders in overcoming child marriage are 1) limited funds and human resources in overcoming child marriage, 2) there are community role models who are permissive towards child marriage, and 3) there is no collaboration between stakeholders in preventing underage child marriage. The recommendation for further research is that it is necessary to expand the research location, such as at the Central Java level so that it can produce a complex picture and formulate effective and integrative strategies.

Published: January 2025

In this paper, optical fibre-based sensors incorporating with no-core fibre (NCF) and single-mode fibre (SMF) were developed for the detection of uric acid (UA). The primary sensor probe was fabricated by sandwiching NCF between two SMF segments, resulting in an SMF-NCF-SMF based structure. As for comparative analysis, a second sensor consisting solely of an SMF structure was developed. To enhance sensitivity, the sensing regions of both NCF and SMF were immobilized with a layer of graphene oxide (GO) coating. The functional groups of GO i.e., hydroxyl, carboxyl, and epoxy groups facilitated dispersion in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and increase the surface area available for biomolecule attachment, making it high effective for use in optical fibre sensor. The sensor performance was evaluated using UA concentrations ranging from 100 µM to 800 µM, respectively. The results demonstrated that the NCF-based biosensor with GO coating exhibited superior sensitivity compared to the SMF-based sensor, achieving a maximum sensitivity of 0.00420 ± 0.000118 nm/µM. The reproducibility and reusability of both the SMF and NCF biosensors were thoroughly assessed and discussed in this paper.
Reading Strategies of isiXhosa Home Language in the Foundation Phase in Chris Hani East District, South Africa
Authors: Marongo Xolelwa , Mpiti Pretty Thandiswa , Zano Kufakunesu
Published: January 2025

The learners’ poor reading performance is a culmination of a couple of factors because teachers are deficient in subject understanding that is needed to teach initial reading in African languages, including the isiZulu home language, effectively. Thus, this study explored the reading strategies of isiXhosa Home Language (HL) in the Foundation Phase (FP) in Chris Hani East District, South Africa. Data was gathered through individual semi-structured interviews with two Foundation Phase teachers in one primary school in Chris Hani East District, the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants. The findings revealed that learners can experience success through practising and consolidating new skills and understandings while also receiving appropriate support from home if homework is moderately given to them. Moreover, parental influence and parental involvement in children’s reading often result in positive achievement for the child. Besides, participating in teaching workshops and observing the methods used by others could be very beneficial. The study concluded that there is low interest in reading among FP learners in isiXhosa HL, and the study’s contribution is that this low intake of isiXhosa HL can be enhanced by a strong collaboration between FP teachers, the Department of Education, and parents or guardians. The study recommends that foundation phase teachers need adequate training in teaching reading isiXhosa HL in the FP to enhance their knowledge of phonological awareness and their inability to teach it effectively.

Analysis of Lecturers’ Opportunities and Challenges Regarding Formative Online Assessments at a University of Technology
Authors: Mollo Paseka Patric
Published: January 2025

During COVID-19, formative online assessments became widely employed at universities. Face-to-face academic activities were suspended, increasing the use of information and communications technology (ICT) and online assessments. University lecturers were forced to change their pedagogical strategies, teaching and learning paradigms, and evaluation procedures. The trend continued after the COVID-19 era and has become a norm at higher education institutions. This change brought about mixed feelings among lecturers as some saw opportunities while others experienced challenges. This empirical paper, therefore, discussed the opportunities and challenges experienced by lecturers when using formative online assessments. The theoretical framework of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) was used. Six purposively selected lecturers from the Faculty of Humanities at the Central University of Technology in South Africa were sampled and interviewed. The findings revealed that online formative assessments enabled lecturers to be more flexible on assessment schedules, meet various student demands and learning preferences, and give their students immediate feedback on their academic performances. The main challenges were formative online assessments’ validity, reliability, dishonesty, and academic integrity. The study underscores the importance of clear communication about academic integrity, making the audience feel the need for proactive measures to ensure the integrity of online assessments. The study recommended that lecturers should, among other things, make technical assistance resources available to students, explicitly convey expectations about academic integrity and cheating, and outline clear learning objectives for each assessment. This paper provides a significant contribution to the scholarship surrounding the opportunities and challenges that lecturers face when implementing formative online assessments at a university of technology.

Published: January 2025

Our understanding of the assembly timeline of the Milky Way has been transforming along with the dramatic increase in astrometric and spectroscopic data available over the past several years. Many substructures in chemo-dynamical space have been discovered and identified as the remnants of various galactic mergers. To investigate the timeline of these mergers, we select main-sequence turnoff and subgiant stars (MSTOs) from the H3 survey, finding members in seven metal-poor components of the halo: Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), the Helmi Streams, Thamnos, Sequoia, Wukong/LMS-1, Arjuna, and I’itoi. We also select out a metal-poor in situ population to facilitate comparison to the evolution of the Milky Way itself at these early epochs. We fit individual isochrone ages to the MSTOs in each of these substructures and use the resulting age distributions to infer simple star formation histories (SFHs). For GSE, we resolve an extended SFH that truncates ≈10 Gyr ago, as well as a clear age–metallicity relation. From this age distribution and measured SFH we infer that GSE merged with the Milky Way at a time 9.5–10.2 Gyr ago, in agreement with previous estimates. We infer that the other mergers occurred at various times ranging from 9 to 13 Gyr ago, and that the metal-poor in situ Galaxy built up within only a few billion years. These results reinforce the emerging picture that both the disk and halo of the Milky Way experienced a rapid assembly.

Published: January 2025

The identification of strong gravitational lenses is essential to facilitate many studies in astronomy. The search for strong gravitational lenses has become more challenging because of their scientific value and their rarity. In this paper, we construct a data set for strong gravitational lensing searches that consist of known lenses and lens candidates from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Legacy Imaging Surveys (the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys) and the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and non-lenses from the Legacy Surveys Data Release 9 (DR9). We apply the YOLOX algorithm as the basic framework and improve it by selecting the optimal optimizer, activation function, attention mechanism, and loss function. The improved YOLOX-LS algorithm achieves 97.87%, 97.51%, 0.97, 96.8%, and 53.1% in the evaluation metrics of precision, recall, F1 score, mean average precision (mAP)@0.5, and mAP@0.5:0.95, respectively. Compared with the YOLOX model, it improves by 0.63%, 0.26%, and 0.6% in the three metrics of precision, recall, and mAP@0.5, respectively. This paper presents the results of the trained YOLOX-LS algorithm applied to 4.75 million cutout images. These images are centered on the central source with mag

z
≤ 20 in the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey footprint from DESI DR9. Finally, we find 1697 lenses, including 303 known lenses or candidates, and 1394 new candidates, among which there are 102 high-quality candidates. This further verifies that the YOLOX-LS algorithm proposed in this paper can be effectively applied to the search for strong gravitational lenses.

The 2021 October 28 solar energetic particle (SEP) event was a rare ground level enhancement (GLE) event, where secondary particles from the interactions of SEPs with the Earth’s atmosphere were detected by neutron monitors on the ground. A number of papers have examined the solar signatures, neutron monitor observations, and the characteristics of the SEP protons and electrons for this event. Here we describe the heavy ion signatures, specifically O and Fe, observed by multiple spacecraft. Parker Solar Probe, Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory-Ahead, and Advanced Composition Explorer were distributed over nearly 60° in solar longitude and 0.4 au in heliocentric distance. Despite their separations, all three spacecraft measured event-integrated O and Fe spectra, well represented by power laws, with nearly the same power-law index of approximately −1.7, which is significantly harder than most large SEP events and many GLE events. Moreover, the Fe/O abundance ratio determined from these spectra was also found to be spatially invariant over the 60° in longitude and 0.4 au in heliocentric distance. Such near uniformity is highly unusual, and only one similar occurrence was found in a previous multispacecraft. The observed Fe/O ratio of 0.39 is higher than typical for large SEP events but not unusual for GLE events.

In this Letter, we use the latest results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey to measure the Hubble constant. Baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) observations released by the DESI survey, allow us to determine H
0 from the first principles. Our method is purely data-driven and relies on unanchored luminosity distances reconstructed from Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) data and H(z) reconstruction from cosmic chronometers. Thus, it circumvents calibrations related to the value of the sound horizon size at the baryon drag epoch or intrinsic luminosity of SN Ia. We find

at a 68% confidence level, which provides the Hubble constant at an accuracy of 1.3% with minimal assumptions. Our assessments of this fundamental cosmological quantity using the BAO data spanning the redshift range z = 0.51–2.33 agree very well with Planck's results and TRGB results within 1σ. This result is still in a 4.3σ tension with the results of the Supernova H0 for the Equation of State.
David couldn't bring down Goliath: museum specimen reveals a failed predation attempt by fire ants (Solenopsis Westwood, 1840) upon a large hawk moth Eumorpha phorbas (Cramer, 1775)
Authors: Sánchez Albert Adrián , Dejean Alain , París Mercedes
Published: January 2025

Insights into insect predatory behaviour can be inferred indirectly from specimens housed in Natural History Collections. In this work, we document a unique interaction, never recorded before, involving the remains of a Solenopsis Westwood, 1840 ant worker —probably S. saevissima (Smith, 1855)— whose head is firmly attached by its mandibles to an antenna of a female hawk moth Eumorpha phorbas (Cramer, 1775) (Sphingidae). This specimen is part of the Entomology Collection at the MNCN-CSIC in Madrid, Spain. As fire ants have very large colonies showing collective hunting behaviour, this worker was likely trapped while taking part in a group attack with nestmates attempting to subdue this comparatively large moth. This observation highlights the value of museum specimens in revealing aspects of predator-prey interactions that might otherwise remain undocumented.
Spatio-temporal dynamics in the discards of trawl fisheries in the eastern Mediterranean
Authors: Soykan Ozan , Ceyhan Tevfik
Published: January 2025

Discarded catches in the main fishing areas of the Turkish coasts of the Aegean Sea were studied using data from commercial trawlers. The study area spans the Turkish coast of the Aegean Sea from Saros Bay (north) to Güllük Bay (south), and data were collected from trawl fishing grounds between April 2010 and 2012. Particular attention is paid to discard per unit effort (DPUE) and discard ratio. Generalized additive modelling (GAM) techniques with Tweedie family and log-link function were used to examine various predictor variables (duration, season, depth, longitude and latitude) on the DPUE of total catch. Discard ratio varied from 0.01 in winter at Çanakkale to 0.90 in summer at Güllük. Total discard ratio was calculated to be 0.33 for pooled data. The DPUE values ranged between 0.2 kg h–1 in autumn at Sığacık and 45.5 kg h–1 in spring at Güllük, with a mean value of 7.6±5.7 kg h–1. Modelling DPUE values in relation to season vs coordinates revealed spatio-temporal differences. The relationship between the dependent variable (DPUE) and the independent variable (depth) showed fluctuations, but haul duration displayed a decreasing trend in the modelling. It was determined that a considerable amount of trawl discards was obtained in the Aegean Sea. The results of this paper should be considered to create a regional discard policy and management plan in the eastern Mediterranean.
From paternalistic stereotypes to overtly negative storytelling: A critical narrative analysis of how British Conservative leaders talk about young people (2005-2022)
Authors: Bonnet Alma-Pierre
Published: January 2025

Le Parti conservateur britannique n’a jamais vraiment été populaire auprès des jeunes. Au début du xxie siècle, il a pourtant tenté de remédier à cette situation. David Cameron, par exemple, a essayé de décontaminer la marque conservatrice en donnant à son parti une image plus inclusive et en phase avec des sujets à même de séduire les jeunes électeurs, comme l’environnement et les droits des homosexuels. Pourtant, en 2019, après presque une décennie au pouvoir, les Conservateurs ont obtenu un score très faible auprès des jeunes, tout en remportant une de leurs victoires les plus éclatantes. Ce manque apparent de représentativité pourrait expliquer la désillusion croissante des jeunes à l’égard de la politique. En conséquence, les partis politiques ont tendance à ignorer les besoins de ceux qui ne votent pas pour eux. Cet article postule que ce cercle vicieux n’est pas une fatalité et qu’il est en fait renforcé, en partie, par la représentation négative des jeunes dans le discours conservateur. Pour vérifier cette hypothèse, nous proposons d’adopter une approche critique afin d’analyser le storytelling utilisé par différents leaders conservateurs pour parler des jeunes lors des conférences annuelles du parti, de 2005 à 2022.
Independence Referendum and Youth Party Membership in Scotland
Authors: Breniaux Claire
Published: January 2025

Party membership has declined since the end of the 20th century, going hand in hand with citizens’ increasing lack of interest in politics in Western democracies. Yet, in 2014 in Scotland, 84.6 per cent of voters voted in the Scottish independence referendum. As the turnout amongst young people was high and given that a lot of young Scots seemed to be mobilised by the referendum, this paper explores motivations to join political parties amongst young people in particular. It examines the reasons why young people join the Scottish National Party (SNP), the party whose membership surge was the most significant according to the study carried out by Mitchell, Bennie and Johns. Based on the theories of youth party membership as well as empirical research that was conducted from 2018 to 2020, this paper builds an SNP youth party membership model. It shows that independence is the most significant reason why young people become SNP members. Other variables play a role in their decision. Most of them are the main incentives and motivations usually identified by youth party membership scholars: individual, socio-economic resources, ideology, political socialisation, social motives like making friends, and career plans.
Vers de nouvelles formes générationnelles d’engagement au Parti travailliste britannique ?
Authors: Jara-Joly Nicolas , Rayer Denis
Published: January 2025

Entre 2015 et 2020, le Parti travailliste de Jeremy Corbyn, un parti traditionnel dirigé par un soixantenaire peu charismatique, a profité d’une très forte popularité dans la jeunesse britannique. Ce phénomène, a priori contre-intuitif, a pu être lié au programme du parti, à ses méthodes de campagne ou à la personnalité de J. Corbyn. Peu de travaux se sont toutefois intéressés aux jeunes militants et à la façon dont ils influencent et renouvellent les modalités du militantisme au sein du Labour. Cet article explore cette question en se penchant sur le cas d’étude du festival The World Transformed, un espace de mobilisation, de participation et de sociabilité conçu par ces jeunes pour servir de liant entre le militantisme de mouvement social et le militantisme partisan. Il met ainsi en évidence les formes d’engagement hybride qui caractérisent les usages militants de ce festival.
L’Histoire instrumentalisée : le cas syrien
Authors: Sartre Maurice
Published: January 2025

Tous les régimes tyranniques manipulent l’histoire pour imposer une vision qui corresponde à leurs objectifs politiques. En Syrie, l’histoire ancienne, notamment celle de Palmyre, fait l’objet d’une réécriture complète qui ne tient aucun compte de la documentation historique et archéologique. L’objectif est de nourrir un nationalisme exacerbé en faisant le procès de toute présence étrangère, accusée d’être une entreprise coloniale, qu’il s’agisse des Romains, des Turcs ou des Français. Mais ce discours n’est pas sans danger car il oblige à dénigrer comme vestiges du colonialisme une partie du riche patrimoine du pays et à détourner la population de sa préservation.
Les villes romaines victimes des guerres perses dans l’œuvre de Procope de Césarée
Authors: Janniard Sylvain
Published: January 2025

Au cours des siècles d’affrontement entre Empires romain et sassanide (IIIe-VIIe siècles), les villes de l’Orient romain ont été des enjeux militaires importants. Les sièges sont donc récurrents au cours de cette période et la majeure partie d’entre eux est documentée par de multiples récits, souvent transmis par des historiens contemporains des faits. La contribution porte sur les récits composés en grec au milieu du VIe siècle par Procope de Césarée et relatifs aux dévastations urbaines en Syrie romaine lors des campagnes menées par le souverain sassanide Khosrau entre 540 et 543. Les récits que Procope laisse des destructions opérées par les Sassanides légitiment en premier lieu son autorité en tant qu’auteur. Ces narrations contribuent aussi à accentuer les traits principaux que Procope souhaite prêter aux Sassanides et à celui qui les mène, Khosrau. Elles concourent enfin à l’établissement des motifs moraux et politiques qui, selon lui, rendent compte de l’inégale résistance des cités d’Orient devant la marche destructrice des armées perses. Procope en tire une leçon générale sur la nécessaire unité des populations face à la menace extérieure et derrière les mandements de leur souverain. Son récit lui offre en dernier lieu l’occasion d’affirmer sa foi chrétienne.

L’article examine enfin les conséquences de ces asymétries sur l’écriture de l’histoire du développement agricole au Mali.
Archives of Autogestion
Authors: Gibbs Timothy
Published: January 2025

One strategy to decentre and create a more polycentric model of the history of international development is to focus on influential alternative models of development practice formulated at specific moments in particular places in the Global South. Hence this article about the attempt of an influential cluster of new-left, anti-apartheid activists to create a new sort of democratic, grassroots-focused, urban planning expertise and archives in South Africa that promoted self-help housing (autogestion). By tracing the professional biographies and institutional trajectories of this generation of South African new-left activists we might analyse their attempts to implement a counter-hegemonic, grassroots, participatory developmental project.

Dans le débat sur le changement climatique et les alternatives aux combustibles fossiles, les expérimentations des énergies renouvelables sont des « objets politiques ». Leurs résultats questionnent la place de la technique dans la politique étrangère et dans l’aide au développement, ainsi que les choix énergétiques induits par les pays des Nords. Pour comprendre les installations solaires de l’entreprise Sofretes, installées dans plusieurs pays des Suds dans les années 1970-1980, il a fallu ainsi « inventer » des archives du solaire. En relatant l’enquête, nous montrons en quoi, en s’appuyant sur une relation de confiance et d’échange avec les témoins encore en vie, elle renouvelle l’historiographie du solaire et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour l’histoire politique des énergies.
The Role of Algorithmic Trading in Shaping Futures Market Efficiency
Authors: Raza Hamad , Riaz Nimra , Vadagama Hiral , Riaz Ahsan , Ramakrishnan Suresh
Published: January 2025

This systematic review investigates the transformative impact of algorithmic trading (AT) on the efficiency of futures markets, integrating insights from contemporary research. Through the examination of 291 academic publications, predominantly peer-reviewed articles, the review demonstrates that AT generally improves market efficiency by expediting information processing, reducing bid-ask spreads, and enhancing liquidity. However, issues related to high-frequency trading (HFT) persist, given its capacity to increase short-term volatility and destabilise markets during stress.

Authors: Dutta Indrajit (Indy) , Zhang Jay , Teng Andy , Lin Steven , Chang Erica , Brueckner Julia , Singh Varun
Published: January 2025

Device wafer thinning is an industry trend that continues to challenge the materials community. Silicon thinning for high bandwidth memory (HBM) is a prime example where device wafers are thinned to <50um using a solid backing material such as glass whose CTE can be closely matched to that of Si to maintain wafer flatness during and post wafer thinning processing. When the concept is extended beyond silicon to compound semiconductors (GaAs, SiC, GaN etc.) and other crystalline materials such as piezoelectrics, glass as a backing material shows its unique processing and handling advantages: adjustable CTE to match device wafer CTE, high stiffness, transparency to enable light-based stress-free debonding, reusability etc. This talk will illustrate how glass such as Corning’s Advanced Packaging Carrier (APC) product line delivers these benefits and enables device wafer thinning for a broad range of wafer materials.
