De la Chine à Cuba
Authors: Clermont Célia
Published: September 2023

Dans le cadre du programme quinquennal du CELEC, cet article propose une réflexion sur la notion de relation – entendue à la fois au sens de récit et de rapport entre deux éléments – dans la fiction romanesque. Il porte principalement sur La eternidad del instante, roman sino-cubain de Zoé Valdés publié en 2004, et s’appuie sur l’ensemble de l’œuvre de l’auteure, nourrie d’exil et de questionnement identitaire.
Le dialogue solitaire des Lettres à soi-même de Paul-Jean Toulet
Authors: Piantoni Antoine
Published: September 2023

Antoine Piantoni s’occupe d’un cas rare : ceux qui s’écrivent à eux-mêmes, à travers Paul-Jean Toulet (1867-1920), dont les Lettres à soi-même parurent de façon posthume, en 1928. Il ne s’agit pas d’un recueil composé par Toulet, mais d’une « collection de cartes postales », et parmi elles, de « quelques lettres qu’au cours de quinze années il s’était adressées à lui-même », réunies sous ce titre et publiées à l’initiative d’Henri Martineau. Toulet aurait-il voulu les voir rendues publiques, comme l’affirment cet éditeur et d’autres critiques, pour lesquels « le jeu de la lettre à soi-même n’empêche pas que l’on songe à un autre public, un lecteur futur » ? Certaines sont si bien écrites qu’on est tenté de les croire. Quoi qu’il en soit, leur interprétation est délicate : preuve d’une division de la personnalité frôlant la schizophrénie ? Ou, au contraire, tentative de réconciliation de Toulet avec son moi profond ? Faute de sources permettant de connaître les intentions de l’auteur, on ne peut que risquer des hypothèses sur leur raison d’être et leurs visées.

Published: September 2023

Single-shot ultrafast optical imaging has revealed various non-repetitive processes, but it has conventionally provided only single-view measurements. Here, we demonstrate a single-shot ultrafast dual-view imaging technique by monitoring shock waves in laser processing of glass using single or parallelized excitation pulses. We visualize the spatiotemporal evolution of shock waves in air at 0.5 Gfps with five frames in both top and side views, indicating the velocity anisotropy and interaction of shock waves. Our technique can contribute to a comprehensive understanding not only of shock wave dynamics but also of other spatially complex ultrafast phenomena including laser-induced plasma and electrical discharge.

A Study on the US Corrupt Police Officer Regulation System: Focusing on the New York Police Department
Authors:   Korea Anti-Corruption Law Association, Huh Koung-Mi
Published: September 2023

This study analyzes the corrupt police officer regulatory system in the United States and presents its dilemma or implications. Due to the complex legal system in the United States, the punishment for the same corruption is different. This gives police officers the false impression that a colleague has been sacrificed in order to uphold noble justice. Federal disciplinary laws make it difficult to punish corrupt police officers because they determine the necessity of using firearms or violent force from the police officer's point of view. After all, the government is making a practice of closing corruption cases with a large civil settlement. Sanctions are required when the New York Police Commissioner does not accept the civil complaint review committee's disciplinary recommendation for corrupt police officers.Violence and excessive use of firearms by US police officers are increasing the number of civilian deaths. It should be recognized that punishing only the problem cops, like the rotten apple theory, is not an essential solution. Corruption among civilian police officers is also serious, and a separate anti-corruption policy is needed. US police need to make efforts to restore the trust and status of the police, which have been lost to the extent that the theory of abolition of the police force is spreading. In addition, the corruption control system of the police organization should be systematically overhauled.

Published: September 2023

In modern medicine, the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is becoming increasingly common in the treatment of severe respiratory failure. The development of infectious complications in patients receiving ECMO often leads to an increase in the duration of the procedure and significantly increases the risk of death. Dosing of antimicrobials during ECMO remains uncertain and requires further research. Diagnosis of infectious complications during ECMO is a difficult and requires the development of diagnostic protocols and the use of routine microbiological studies. The use of antimicrobials during ECMO could be complicated due to decrease in effective plasma concentration. The adsorption of antibacterial drugs in the ECMO circuit and oxygenator, the use of infusion therapy, the development of hypoalbuminemia, as well as the high incidence of acute renal and hepatic dysfunction in critically ill patients lead to an inevitable change in the volume of distribution and clearance of antibacterial drugs. These conditions require an individual approach to the choice of antimicrobials and optimization of dosing regimens in critically ill patients receiving ECMO.

Gesture-based Human-Computer Interaction using Wearable Devices
Authors: Jaanhavi bansal
Published: September 2023

For decades, traditional computer interfaces such as keyboards and mouse have been the major way of interaction. These interfaces, however, can be restricted, particularly in situations when hands-free or realistic contact is sought. Gesture-based interactions are made possible by the use of wearable devices such as smartwatches or motion-capture sensors, which allow people to communicate with computers through natural hand and body gestures.Gesture-based Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the technique of transmitting orders or input to a computer system using physical gestures such as hand movements, body movements, or facial expressions rather than standard input devices such as keyboards or touchpads. Gestures are a natural and intrinsic means for humans to communicate with one another. When gesture-based HCI is combined with wearable devices, people may interact with computers in a more intuitive and human-like manner. This natural contact improves the user experience and shortens the learning curve for computer systems. Gesture-based HCI is an alternative interaction style that can considerably help those with a physical disability or mobility issues. It allows for hands-free control, making technology more accessible to a wider variety of people, independent of physical ability. Gesture-based interactions have the potential to improve the efficiency of specific jobs, such as presentations, design work, and managing IoT devices. Because users can execute tasks quickly using simple gestures, it can lead to increased productivity and efficiency.

Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to synesthesia as a distinctive feature of John Steinbeck’s prose. The article provides a componential analysis of synaesthetic collocation language means. Synesthetic collocations found in the text create plausible, realistic descriptions due to the actualization of the basic underlying meaning of words. John Steinbeck’s prose is characterized by convergence of synaesthetic collocation and such figurative and expressive language means as alliteration, antithesis, contamination, epithet, metonymy, parallel constructions which most vividly convey characters' mental and physical state.
Health factors that influence sustainable behaviour in a single-player resource management game
Authors: Rauwolf Paul , McKinnon Arlen , Bilderbeck Amy C. , Rogers Robert D.
Published: September 2023

Encouraging sustainable use of limited natural, social, and economic resources requires understanding the variety of ways in which people think about how resources work and how they adjust their behaviour (or not) as available resources fluctuate. Previous investigations which have focused on understanding how individuals navigate erodible resources, have tended to use group-based, common pool games. However, such social games make it difficult to disentangle whether resource erosion is linked to difficulty navigating the dynamics of the resource or caused by social factors. Here, in two experiments, we recruited 781 participants to play a single-player resource management game in which individuals were invited to harvest monetary rewards from a fully depletable but stochastically replenishing resource over time. We find that the ability to sustain a resource over successive harvesting opportunities (in order to maximize the total harvested rewards) is reliably worse in individuals reporting elevated psychological distress, the often cooccurring hazardous alcohol use, and elevated rates of delay discounting. The associations between resource outcomes, harmful alcohol use, and psychological distress remained substantial even once we had controlled for elevated discounting rates (as a form of impulsivity and a strong risk factor for these health challenges). By contrast, individuals who reported higher levels of financial literacy and general well-being achieved better resource outcomes. Our observations demonstrate that the capacity to respond effectively to the dynamics of a resource are compromised in individuals at risk of psychological and alcohol-related disorders.

(Un-)rape and involuntary manslaughter as examples of aberration of legal information in criminal law in Ukraine
Authors: RADUTNIY O.
Published: September 2023

The article examines the phenomenon of aberration (distortion of the content) of regulatory and legal information in the field of criminal law on the example of certain basic elements of criminal offences (Part 1 of Article 152 “Rape”, Article 119 “Manslaughter by negligence” of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), as well as certain wording, in particular, the use of perfect and imperfect verbs, focusing on related activities instead of a certain activity, etc. The author proves that the aberration significantly distorts the meaning of certain criminal law prohibitions, which grossly violates the principle of legal certainty as an integral part of the rule of law. To improve the current wording of Part 1 of Article 152 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which does not define rape as penetration, nor as an act aimed at penetration, but only an act related to penetration, it is proposed to set out its disposition in the following wording: “Committing vaginal, anal or oral penetration into the body of another person using any part of the body or object without the voluntary consent of the victim, or penetration into the body of any person by the genitals of a man without the voluntary consent of the latter (rape)”. The article substantiates in the relevant articles of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, in particular, part 2 of Article 150-1, part 1 of Article 238, part 2 of Article 296, part 3 of Article 314, part 5 of Article 321, part 4 of Article 321-1, part 2 of Article 353, part 1 of Article 365-2, Article 377, part 1 of Article 378, Article 379, Articles 398, 400, 434 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, etc., the focus should be on a certain activity, but not on any other activity (tangential, adjacent, auxiliary, service, etc.). To improve the current wording of Article 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provides for liability for “murder committed through negligence”, i.e., in fact, for intentional unlawful infliction of death to another person committed through negligence”, the following alternative options are proposed 1) toinclude an indication of the form of guilt beyond the direct definition of murder in part 1 of Article 115 ofthe Criminal Code of Ukraine, or 2) to replace the wording of the disposition of Article 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine from “murder committed through negligence” to “unlawful infliction of death to another person committed through negligence”. The previous proposal to replace certain imperfect verbs in the articles of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine with perfect verbs, if they retain the status of a criminal offence with a material element, has been improved.

Praying through the Lord’s Prayer with Meaning and Significance: Mother-tongue Theological Hermeneutical Study of Mathew 6:9-13
Authors: Fosu John Kwasi
Published: September 2023

The Lord’s Prayer seems to be the best-known prayer among Christian communities. In liturgical contexts, it appears to be the most memorized and recited text of the New Testament. The popularity of the Lord’s Prayer, on one hand, indicates its significance within Christianity. On the other hand, its popularity implies that many people recite it without reflecting on its theological meaning and significance. The main purpose of this work was to read the Matthean text of the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) from the perspective of the Akan mother-tongue theological hermeneutics. The paper thus joins with a contemporary few selected voices in the African exegetical enterprise to suggest that a mother-tongue theological hermeneutical reading of scripture contributes to an enhanced understanding of biblical texts which is of ecumenical relevance in the contemporary glocal (global and local) contexts. Keywords: The Lord’s Prayer, Mother-tongue, Theological Hermeneutics, Akan, Matthew 6:9-13
Reflected Spectroscopy of Small Exoplanets. III. Probing the UV Band to Measure Biosignature Gases
Authors: Damiano Mario , Hu Renyu , Mennesson Bertrand
Published: September 2023

Direct-imaging observations of terrestrial exoplanets will enable their atmospheric characterization and habitability assessment. Considering Earth, the key atmospheric signatures for the biosphere are O2 and the photochemical product O3. However, this O2–O3 biosignature is not detectable in the visible wavelengths for most of the time after the emergence of oxygenic photosynthesis life (i.e., Proterozoic Earth). Here we demonstrate spectroscopic observations in the ultraviolet wavelengths for detecting and characterizing O2 and O3 in Proterozoic-Earth-like planets, using ExoReL

R

. For an O2 mixing ratio 2–3 orders of magnitude less than the present-day Earth and an O3 mixing ratio of 10−7 to 10−6, we find that O3 can be detected and its mixing ratio can be measured precisely (within 1 order of magnitude) in the ultraviolet (0.25–0.4 μm), in addition to visible-wavelength spectroscopy. With modest spectral resolution (R = 7) and signal-to-noise ratio (∼10) in the ultraviolet, the O3 detection is robust against other potential gases absorbing in the ultraviolet (e.g., H2S and SO2), as well as the short-wavelength cutoff between 0.2 and 0.25 μm. While the O3 detection does not rely on the near-infrared spectra, extending the wavelength coverage to the near-infrared (1–1.8 μm) would provide essential information to interpret the O3 biosignature, including the mixing ratio of H2O, the cloud pressure, and the determination of the dominant gas of the atmosphere. The ultraviolet and near-infrared capabilities should thus be evaluated as critical components for future missions aiming at imaging and characterizing terrestrial exoplanets, such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory.
Late-time Hubble Space Telescope Observations of AT 2018cow. II. Evolution of a UV-bright Underlying Source 2–4 Yr Post-discovery

Published: September 2023

In this second of a two-paper series, we present a detailed analysis of three Hubble Space Telescope observations taken ∼2–4 yr post-discovery, examining the evolution of a UV-bright underlying source at the precise position of AT 2018cow. While observations at ∼2–3 yr post-discovery revealed an exceptionally blue (L

ν
∝ ν
1.99) underlying source with relatively stable optical brightness, fading in the near-UV was observed at year 4, indicating flattening in the spectrum (to L

ν
∝ ν
1.64). The resulting spectral energy distributions can be described by an extremely hot but small blackbody, and the fading may be intrinsic (cooling) or extrinsic (increased absorption). Considering possible scenarios and explanations, we disfavor significant contributions from stellar sources and dust formation, based on the observed color and brightness. By comparing the expected power and the observed luminosity, we rule out interaction with known radio-producing circumstellar material (CSM) as well as magnetar spin down with B ∼ 1015 G as possible power sources, though we cannot rule out the possible existence of a denser CSM component (e.g., a previously ejected hydrogen envelope) or a magnetar with B ≲ 1014 G. Finally, we find that a highly inclined precessing accretion disk can reasonably explain the color, brightness, and evolution of the underlying source. However, a major uncertainty in this scenario is the mass of the central black hole (BH), as both stellar-mass and intermediate-mass BHs face notable challenges that cannot be explained by our simple disk model, and further observations and theoretical works are needed to fully constrain the nature of this underlying source.
The Search for Thermonuclear Transients from the Tidal Disruption of a White Dwarf by an Intermediate-mass Black Hole
Authors: Gomez Sebastian , Gezari Suvi
Published: September 2023

The close encounter of a white dwarf (WD) with a black hole (BH) could result in the tidal disruption of the WD. During this encounter, the WD can undergo a thermonuclear explosion due to its tidal compression, resulting in an optical transient similar to a Type Ia supernova, hereafter a Ia-TDE. Nevertheless, this will only be physically observable if the BH is ≲105
M
⊙. Finding a Ia-TDE would therefore imply the discovery of an intermediate-mass BH (IMBH) ≲105
M
⊙. Here, we search the entire Zwicky Transient Facility alert stream for these elusive Ia-TDEs. We restrict our search to nuclear transients in dwarf galaxies, the likely sites for IMBHs, and find a total of six possible nuclear Ia-TDE candidates. We find SN 2020lrt to be the most likely Ia-TDE candidate, thanks to its strong resemblance to light-curve and spectroscopic models of Ia-TDEs. We measure the stellar masses of the dwarf galaxies hosting these transients to be ≲109
M
⊙; if confirmed to harbor BHs, these would prove the existence of IMBHs in some of the lowest-mass galaxies known. Additionally, we searched for off-nuclear Ia-TDEs, but were unable to find more robust candidates in the outskirts of galaxies than in their nuclei. This supports the hypothesis that the nuclear Ia-TDE candidates are WDs tidally compressed by IMBHs in the cores of galaxies, as opposed to a class of transient that can occur anywhere in a galaxy. We have laid the groundwork to systematically search for Ia-TDE candidates in existing and future time-domain surveys. The rapid characterization of their nature will result in not only the confirmation of a Ia-TDE, but also the unambiguous discovery of bona fide IMBHs.
Prospects for a Precise Equation of State Measurement from Advanced LIGO and Cosmic Explorer
Authors: Finstad Daniel , White Laurel V. , Brown Duncan A.
Published: September 2023

Gravitational-wave observations of neutron star mergers can probe the nuclear equation of state by measuring the imprint of the neutron star’s tidal deformability on the signal. We investigate the ability of future gravitational-wave observations to produce a precise measurement of the equation of state from binary neutron star inspirals. Because measurability of the tidal effect depends on the equation of state, we explore several equations of state that span current observational constraints. We generate a population of binary neutron stars as seen by a simulated Advanced LIGO–Virgo network, as well as by a planned Cosmic Explorer observatory. We perform Bayesian inference to measure the parameters of each signal, and we combine measurements across each population to determine R
1.4, the radius of a 1.4 M
⊙ neutron star. We find that, with 321 signals, the LIGO–Virgo network is able to measure R
1.4 to better than 2% precision for all equations of state we consider; however, we also find that achieving this precision could take decades of observation, depending on the equation of state and the merger rate. On the other hand, we find that with one year of observation, Cosmic Explorer will measure R
1.4 to better than 0.6% precision. In both cases, we find that systematic biases, such as from an incorrect mass prior, can significantly impact measurement accuracy, and efforts will be required to mitigate these effects.

Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND: Macrosomia incidence rate seems continue to increase, especially in Indonesia with a fairly high incidence rate, macrosomia is associated with adverse complications; therefore, early detection is recommended so that optimal management can be determined. At present, abdominal circumferences are considered as most predictive of fetal weight and expected to be used for macrosomia screening.
AIM: This research purpose was to determine sensitivity and specificity of Abdominal Circumference (AC) as a single marker in predicting macrosomia at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan 2017–2021.
METHODS: This research is an analytical study with diagnostic test of secondary data from medical records on February 7, 2022–April 30, 2022. Research sample was pregnant women with macrosomia or non-macrosomia fetuses who gave birth in obstetrics department at H. Adam Malik  Hospital Medan and met inclusion criteria. Calculation sensitivity and specificity of AC values was carried out to diagnose macrosomia. An analysis of area under the curve (AUC) curve will be carried out to determine cut off AC value in diagnosing macrosomia.
RESULTS: Based on ROC curve, AUC is 0.923 which means AC can diagnose macrosomia by 92.3%. After calculation of sensitivity and specificity values, it was found that AC value with cut off 34.56 had sensitivity 83% and specificity 89% in predicting macrosomia.
CONCLUSION: AC measurement is considered most effective method for predict baby’s birth weight with fairly good level of sensitivity (83%) and specificity (89%).

Authors: Widiono Evan Savero , Martahadinan  , Tambunan Chandra A. , Primatir Sofa
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cancer in which the majority of CRCs are diagnosed between the ages of 50 and 70 years. Based on current trends, the incidence of colon and rectal cancers can increase by 124% in people aged 35–49 years and at the age of 20–34 will increase by 28% and 46%.
OBJECTIVES: To report a case of a 24-year-old female patient with CRC.
CASE REPORT: A 24-year-old female patient came to the Emergency Room at Bendan Hospital, Pekalongan City, with complaints of bleeding since 1 year ago. There are complaints in the past 6 months; the patient’s weight has decreased by up to 20 kg. Rectal toucher examination revealed normal (+) anal sphincter tone, a palpable mass in the anal canal, and was fragile; there were feces and blood in gloves. Abdominal ultrasonography found a solid tumor mass in the rectum area with a volume of 181 cc, suggesting a malignancy of the rectum. During a colonoscopy, a circular, fragile, and easily bleeding tumor was found, approximately 1 cm from the anal verge, and then biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination of the colon biopsy suggests a well-differentiated, rectosigmoid, NOS adenocarcinoma. The patient then underwent surgery using the Miles procedure technique. The patient’s condition after the operation improved, so after a week of treatment, the patient was able to undergo outpatient treatment.
CONCLUSION: A complete history, physical examination, and supporting investigation are very useful in early detection of colorectal carcinoma, especially in young patients.
Management of Refractory Central Vein Stenosis in Hemodialysis Patient
Authors: Sakti Pradhika Perdana , Kurnianingsih Novi
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND: Patient with hemodialysis (HD) is prone to central venous stenosis (CVS). The presence of CVS contributed to poor dialysis adequacy. Symptomatic CVS is treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with or without a stent. This report aimed to understand the characteristics of PTA with or without a stent.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 43-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with a chief complaint of a deteriorating swollen right arm with pain 1 week prior. Patient had been on HD since 2019, had AV shunt access, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), and 4 times balloon angioplasty due to similar complaints. Diagnoses of the patient were AV shunt stenosis, chronic kidney disease Stage 5 on CAPD, heart failure Stage C FC II, hypertension on treatment, anemia related to renal disease, and severe hypoalbuminemia based on anamnesis and extensive examination. PTA with stent was conducted in this patient and showed TIMI Flow III.
CONCLUSION: PTA is the primary treatment for symptomatic CVS. A stent implantation is used in cases that failed PTA treatment. PTA with a stent provides immediate symptom alleviation and benefits an angioplasty-resistant lesion by secondary patency.

We present a checklist of annelids from recent United Kingdom Seabed Resources (UKSR) expeditions (Abyssal Baseline - ABYSSLINE project) to the eastern abyssal Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) polymetallic nodule fields, based on DNA species delimitation, including imagery of voucher specimens, Darwin Core (DwC) data and links to vouchered specimen material and new GenBank sequence records. This paper includes genetic and imagery data for 129 species of annelids from 339 records and is restricted to material that is, in general, in too poor a condition to describe formally at this time, but likely contains many species new to science. We make these data available both to aid future taxonomic studies in the CCZ that will be able to link back to these genetic data and specimens and to better underpin ongoing ecological studies of potential deep-sea mining impacts using the principles of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusuable) data and specimens that will be available for all.

We include genetic, imagery and all associated metadata in Darwin Core format for 129 species of annelids from the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, eastern abyssal Pacific, with 339 records.

Objective

We have previously reported elevated levels of the complement lectin pathway proteins L-ficolin and H-ficolin in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) compared with healthy controls. The aim of the present study was to investigate these biomarkers in a cross-sectional cohort of patients suffering from low back pain (LBP). Further, we aimed to investigate changes in lectin pathway protein levels after initiation of adalimumab (ADA; a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor) in a longitudinal cohort of patients with axSpA.

Methods

Lectin pathway protein levels (mannan-binding lectin [MBL], collectin liver 1, H-ficolin, L-ficolin, M-ficolin, MBL-associated serine protease [MASP]-1, MASP-2, MASP-3, MBL-associated protein 19 [MAp19], and MAp44) in EDTA plasma were determined in 2 well-characterized cohorts: (1) a clinical cross-sectional cohort of patients with LBP, including patients with axSpA (n = 23), patients with unspecific LBP (uLBP) with ≥ 1 SpA features (n = 55), and patients with uLBP without SpA features or magnetic resonance imaging findings suggestive of axSpA (n = 64); and (2) a randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial cohort of patients with axSpA (n = 49) initiating ADA therapy. Lectin pathway protein levels were determined using immunoassays.

Results

Plasma levels of L-ficolin and M-ficolin were significantly increased in the cross-sectional cohort of newly diagnosed patients with axSpA compared with clinically relevant controls with uLBP (allP< 0.05). Both L-ficolin and M-ficolin decreased significantly after ADA therapy (P< 0.05).

Conclusion

L-ficolin and M-ficolin levels are elevated in newly diagnosed patients with axSpA compared with clinically relevant controls. Both L-ficolin and M-ficolin levels decrease significantly after initiating ADA therapy. These findings provide new insights into the inflammatory processes in axSpA and support the involvement of complement in axSpA pathogenesis.
Rattacher la Loire-Atlantique à la Bretagne lors de la réforme territoriale de 2015 ? Une approche par la géopolitique des médias
Authors: Oiry Annaig , Richard Yann
Published: September 2023

En 2015, la loi NOTRe a modifié les limites des régions de la France métropolitaine. Lors de débats qui ont précédé le vote de la loi, on a assisté dans l’Ouest à une résurgence de la mobilisation en faveur de l’intégration du département de la Loire-Atlantique dans la région Bretagne. Dans cet article, nous étudions la manière dont la presse écrite régionale a présenté ce contentieux géopolitique à propos des limites de la région Bretagne, notamment en la comparant à la presse nationale. À partir d’entretiens avec des journalistes et d’une analyse qualitative et de contenu de corpus issus de trois journaux régionaux, Le Télégramme , Ouest-France et Presse Océan , nous nous demandons si la presse régionale s’est contentée de relater les débats et évènements liés à la réforme territoriale ou bien si elle a été actrice du fait géopolitique. Si les journalistes ont affirmé qu’ils n’étaient pas prescripteurs dans les débats portant sur la « réunification », l’analyse des corpus de presse nuance cette idée. Ouest-France et Le Télégramme sont particulièrement engagés en faveur de la « réunification », qu’ils légitiment entre autres par l’évocation de l’identité bretonne liée à une région à cinq. Si les journaux ne sont pas ouvertement régionalistes, ils contribuent à diffuser l’idée que l’identité bretonne est un lieu commun, sans réellement la définir.
Bringing beauty to the factory floor: beauty culture in America’s industrial workplaces during World War II
Authors: McAndrew Malia
Published: September 2023

Cet article examine l’importance de la culture de la beauté sur le lieu de travail dans les usines américaines durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, en se focalisant sur la promotion de la culture de la beauté effectuée par les employeurs engagés dans la production de guerre. La presse interne et les archives d’entreprises attestent la popularité des concours de pin-up, des défilés de mode et des ateliers de beauté au sein des usines. Ces sources mettent en lumière comment les entreprises ont veillé à susciter un sentiment d’appartenance et de communauté parmi la main-d’œuvre féminine nouvellement engagée par le biais de la culture de la beauté. En introduisant les rituels de beauté au sein des usines, les employeurs espéraient cultiver la camaraderie et les liens entre les ouvriers, qui, pensaient-ils, allégeraient le fardeau psychologique du travail industriel en période de guerre mondiale.
Le redoublement est une décision d’équipe : comprendre le sens de l’agir enseignant face au redoublement
Authors: De Pascale Caroline , Draelants Hugues
Published: September 2023

Le redoublement a surtout été étudié sous l’angle de ses effets sur les élèves avant d’interroger les conditions qui y mènent. Des recherches ont conclu à ses effets négatifs, d’autres ont constaté que les enseignants continuaient à y recourir en y trouvant des avantages. L’article, après une revue de la littérature, s’intéresse à ce qui amène une équipe à penser qu’un élève bénéficiera du redoublement. Appuyé sur une étude de cas multisite, menée en 2020-2021 mêlant observations de conseils de classe et entretiens, il adopte un regard donnant du crédit aux acteurs locaux et à leurs interprétations de la réussite ou non du redoublement. Il cherche à éclairer les conditions dans lesquelles la décision collective est prise : mise en opposition de divers principes en tension, vote où les directions nuancent le rôle individuel des enseignants, surtout démarche des équipes éducatives avant le délibéré. Un redoublement vite décidé implique une diminution de la compréhension fine des causes de l’échec dans les matières scolaires. Ces observations montrent que c’est aussi l’effet des actions entreprises sur les résultats de l’élève qui est évalué, car les équipes éducatives ne sont pas passives face aux élèves les plus faibles : elles ont recouru aux ressources à leur disposition. En outre, elles se projettent constamment vers la fin de l’année scolaire pour anticiper les recours éventuels.

Published: September 2023

En 2019, la section « Sciences infirmières » du Conseil national des universités pour les disciplines de santé a été créée. Parmi ses missions, elle évalue chaque année les dossiers de demande de qualification de maîtres de conférences et de professeurs des universités. La qualification autorise la personne à candidater à un concours de recrutement au poste de maître de conférences ou de professeur des universités dans une université française proposant un poste. Les membres de la section doivent apprécier si les requis en termes de recherches, d’enseignements et d’expertises sont suffisants pour pouvoir présenter le concours. De ce fait, certaines exigences sont attendues, qu’il paraît nécessaire de rappeler pour favoriser un gain en qualité des futurs dossiers de candidature. Seules les exigences relatives à la qualification aux fonctions de maître de conférences seront traitées ici.
Dynamic analysis of a stochastic epidemic model incorporating the double epidemic hypothesis and Crowley-Martin incidence term
Authors: Li Wenxuan , Liu Suli
Published: September 2023

The host population in epidemiology may actually be at risk of more than two infectious diseases with stochastic complicated interaction, e.g., HIV and HBV. In this paper, we propose a class of stochastic epidemic model that applies the double epidemic hypothesis and Crowley-Martin incidence rate in order to explore how stochastic disturbances affect the spread of diseases. While disregarding stochastic disturbances, we examine the dynamic features of the system in which the local stability of equilibria are totally determined by the basic reproduction numbers. We focus particularly on the threshold dynamics of the corresponding stochastic system, and we obtain the extinction and permanency conditions for a pair of infectious diseases. We find that the threshold dynamics of the deterministic and stochastic systems vary significantly: (ⅰ) disease outbreaks can be controlled by appropriate stochastic disturbances; (ⅱ) diseases die out when the intensity of environmental perturbations is higher. The effects of certain important parameters on deterministic and stochastic disease transmission were obtained through numerical simulations. Our observations indicate that controlling epidemics should improve the effectiveness of prevention measures for susceptible individuals while improving the effectiveness of treatment for infected individuals.
Relaxation oscillations of a piecewise-smooth slow-fast Bazykin's model with Holling type Ⅰ functional response
Authors: Wu Xiao , Lu Shuying , Xie Feng
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we consider the dynamics of a slow-fast Bazykin's model with piecewise-smooth Holling type Ⅰ functional response. We show that the model has Saddle-node bifurcation and Boundary equilibrium bifurcation. Furthermore, it is also proven that the model has a homoclinic cycle, a heteroclinic cycle or two relaxation oscillation cycles for different parameters conditions. These results imply the dynamical behavior of the model is sensitive to the predator competition rate and the initial densities of prey and predators. In order to support the theoretical analysis, we present some phase portraits corresponding to different values of parameters by numerical simulation. These phase portraits include two relaxation oscillation cycles, an unstable relaxation oscillation cycle surrounded by a stable homoclinic cycle; the coexistence of a heteroclinic cycle and an unstable relaxation oscillation cycle. These results reveal far richer and much more complex dynamics compared to the model without different time scale or with smooth Holling type Ⅰ functional response.
