Risk Management as a Component of the Brand Strategy of a Retailer
Authors: ZUBKO Daria
Published: December 2021

Introduction. The article considers the issue of risk identification for retailers in order to take them into account in the process of forming a brand strategy. The purpose of the article is to analyze the possible risks for retailers in order to develop measures to prevent them, which must be taken into account in the formation of brand strategy. Results. The concept of risk for a retailer and its components are defined. Risks by classification by the nature of emergency are considered. External and internal risks are characterized, the latter is by types of sphere of influence. It is shown how certain types of risks affect the brand in general and its reputation in particular. Risks that are difficult to predict even with effective risk management planning are identified. The factors that determine the need for risk management are outlined. It is proved that taking into account these factors in the process of forming the brand strategy of a retailer will positively affect the efficiency of its activities. Risk management in a trading company should be cyclical and continuous. It will be effective only if all types of risks are identified, controlled and reduced with constant monitoring. A set of actions aimed at planning risk management at a trading company is defined. It is noted that in order to promote risk management activities, a retailer needs to develop its own methodology for continuous risk management, taking into account the specifics of a particular company. This approach to risk management will be critical to a comprehensive management process and will ensure that risk indicators for the enterprise are handled efficiently and properly. Conclusions. Given the fact that risk management is important for the effective operation of a retailer in a competitive environment, the factors that determine it are identified. Timely identification of risks for a retailer will ensure its efficiency, provided that risk management is cyclical and continuous. It is proved that the mechanism of continuous management will allow to identify risks in time and with the help of preventive measures to reduce the costs for a retailer, which in turn will reduce the reputational losses of the brand. This mechanism should be a mandatory part of the brand strategy for any retailer.
Nassim Taleb: Statistical Concepts and their Philosophical Interpretation
Authors: MIKHAILOV Volodymyr , YEFIMOVA Valentyna
Published: December 2021

Nassim Nicholas Taleb is an American statistician, mathematician, trader, and essayist of Lebanese descent who, for the most part, adheres to philosophical scepticism. In his works, he primarily considers the problems of chance and probability. Taleb is the author of a number of bestsellers, his book «Black Swan», was included in the review of «The Sunday Times» in the list of the most influential books written after World War II. N. Taleb in his publications adheres to methodological and practical approaches within the modern paradigm of interdisciplinarity, combining, synthesizing scientific vision and tools from different fields of knowledge, primarily in the field of statistical analysis and interpretation of large arrays of statistics. The purpose of this article is to try to highlight some key ideas in the field of statistical methodology and practice, which personally developed or reinterpreted this famous researcher, as well as consideration of individual socio-philosophical views that underlie his diverse scientific and scientific activities. The article considers and analyzes the methodological basis of the concept of rare statistically probable events («black swan»), classification of systems with the separation of «antifragile» subsystems, statistical issues on the use of big data, questions about the possibilities and limitations of forecasting based on time series, some sociological and historiosophical approaches of N. Taleb, as well as theoretical and methodological principles of his concepts in general, which are based on the ideas of philosophical scepticism. Diverse ideas, concepts, approaches, visions, which were expressed by N. Taleb regarding statistics and other sciences in the pages of his books, scientific articles, essays, numerous interviews, etc., in our opinion, need a more in-depth, multifaceted study. Such explorations can be useful and productive for theoretical science and practical application in modern Ukraine, including in the field of statistics.

Authors: TARANENKO Liudmyla , CHUDYK-BILOUSOVA Nadiia
Published: December 2021

The article considers the organization of contractual work in social and medical spheres. The peculiarities of legal service work in the medical and educational segment are studied. The foreign practice of legal support of the social segment in medicine is pointed out. Considerable attention is paid to the organization of such work at the regional level. It is found out that in the work of health care institutions such legal service participates in ensuring compliance with sanitary norms and rules, acts of labor legislation and legislation on health care, fire safety, labor protection, civil protection, provides access to public information and protection of personal data. The complex analysis of normative-legal maintenance of legal service work organization is carried out. The definition of the contract in the field of social security is given and the most typical transactions concluded in this direction are characterized. It has been established that public offer agreements play a significant role here. The content of these agreements is revealed. Cases of concluding tripartite agreements are analyzed. It is found out that the form of such agreements is usually written (electronic); the term of the majority of the contract in the social sphere is determined by the moment of the need to provide the relevant service / performance of work (social support in employment and in the workplace, social rehabilitation of persons with intellectual and mental disorders). The issue of regulation of contracting under the reimbursement program is revealed. The purpose of activity of legal clinics at higher educational institutions is described and the reason of their popularity is substantiated. The tasks of the legal service at the educational institution are defined. Emphasis is placed on the specifics of the organization of remote work of the legal service in quarantine, remote format of services in other segments of social sphere.

The COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on business establishments: a study on challenges and strategic approaches
Authors: Hidalgo Aurora , Janeo Viory Yvonne , Padojinog Winston Conrad , Terosa Cid , L. U Peter , Yap Josef
Published: December 2021

The Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) commissioned the School of Economics of the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) to conduct a study aimed at understanding the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on various industry sectors and to draw possible policy measures for both government and private institutions to help the affected sectors deal with the pandemic’s negative effects and gradually return to stable business operations. An online survey of pre-selected thirty-three (33) representatives from key priority sectors which recorded sharp contractions in the first two quarters of 2020 and which had a share to GDP of above 1 percent was conducted. To validate the survey results, stakeholder interviews were also conducted with more than 10 firms via the zoom video conferencing platform. The survey results confirmed the negative impact of the pandemic at the firm-level (i.e., decrease in employee compensation, decline in headcount, loss of revenue and other liquidity crunches, prolonged collection periods, problems in logistics, delayed or cancelled projects and disrupted supply chains and access to labor; among others). Some have had to close branches or altogether cease operations. The sudden and likely permanent shift towards digitization of operations has disrupted operations and exerted pressure to digitally transform business operations in order to survive in the so-called “new normal.” Moreover, this requires investments in equipment and training. Additional costs and investments are also needed to meet health and safety standards and protocols. Thus, required assistance commonly cited by firms were loans, subsidies, and tax relief In the short term, the national government must restore consumer confidence and deploy its fiscal powers to stimulate aggregate demand. With assistance, business can invest in platforms and meeting health and safety protocols for workers and customers to return to work and patronize their business, whether on site or online. Resuscitating the economy is not solely the responsibility of government. It also requires solidarity and coordinated response from the private sector. Over the long term, both government and business must build more resilient organizations and strategies. This would include adopting digital transformation by both private and public sectors for a more nimble and agile economy. Business may also revisit the concept of “coopetition”. The interconnectedness of each industry calls for a more collaborative approach among businesses. When firms who have been negatively affected by the pandemic recover, this can also increase the rate at which the economy bounces back.

Paisaje cultural de Iguaque, una mirada desde la noción de encanto
Authors: Hurtado Pedraza Nelson Arturo
Published: December 2021

En este artículo se hace un ejercicio de comprensión patrimonial del paisaje cultural de Iguaque que abarca parte de los territorios de los municipios de Sáchica y de Chíquiza en el departamento de Boyacá (Colombia). Tiene como propósito la identificación y valoración de una serie de hitos patrimoniales ligados al paisaje colonial, cuya valoración se enriquece desde las narrativas campesinas vinculadas a la noción de encanto (entidades espirituales que habitan en lugares sagrados, los custodian, protegen la riqueza, se relacionan con las personas) que contribuye en la comprensión de una lógica de construcción de sentido que involucra encantos, naturaleza, personas y bienes patrimoniales cuya relación hace parte del llamado mundo colonial que otorga  un carácter sagrado al paisaje cultural.
Tort Law and Climate Change
Authors: Bonython Wendy
Published: December 2021

Tort law presents doctrinal barriers to plaintiffs seeking remedies for climate change harms in common law jurisdictions. However, litigants are likely to persist in pursuing tortious causes of action in the absence of persuasive policy and regulatory alternatives. Ongoing litigation in Smith v Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd in New Zealand and Sharma v Minister for Environment in Australia highlights tensions between torts doctrine and climate change litigation in both countries. Regardless of its ultimate outcome, that litigation provides a valuable opportunity to integrate theoretical questions about the legitimacy of judicial lawmaking, and intersectional critical legal perspectives, into the teaching of torts.
Climate Crisis, Legal Education and Law Student Well-Being
Authors: Taylor Monica
Published: December 2021

This article addresses the impact of the climate crisis on the mental health of young people in the context of legal education. It reviews the evidence on youth mental health regarding the climate crisis and applies it to what is already known about law student well-being. Drawing on theories of learning design, the article considers a range of pedagogical strategies that law schools can use to engage students who are committed to action on climate change through law. A case study, the Climate Justice Initiative at The University of Queensland School of Law, is presented as one example of what is possible. This article emphasises the significance of a partnership approach to student engagement and contends that this may yield benefits especially in the context of climate change-related legal work. Despite the negative psychological impact of the climate crisis on law students, it concludes that there are practical activities that law schools can and should initiate to support student well-being.
William of Newburgh: The History of English Affairs
Authors: Walsh P. G. , Kennedy M. J.
Published: December 2021

The History of English Affairs, covering the years 1066–1198, was written at the close of the twelfth century and has been described as being “both in substance and in form... the finest historical work left to us by an Englishman of the twelfth century” (The Dictionary of National Biography). The author's critical ability, gifts of acute observation, clear judgment and tolerant impartiality justify his high reputation as an original authority. Book One contains a summary treatment of the period 1066–1135 (the Norman Conquest to the death of Henry I), followed by an extensive exposition of the political, military and religious events of the reign of Stephen (1135–54), including the Second Crusade and events in Scotland. William's Latin is spare and elegant. At university level, this is the ideal text for students of medieval history seeking original source material and for students in Classical departments looking for a combination of interesting content and manageable Latin. Schools will find it a helpful aid to increase fluency in reading Latin and develop a knowledge of English history. Latin text with facing-page translation.
Greek Orators III: Isocrates
Authors: Usher S.
Published: December 2021

Two contrasting works, both in style and content, illustrate the versatility of Isocrates, the most accomplished writer of polished periodic Greek prose. The Panegyricus is a patriotic work of Athenian propaganda composed with great care and also intended to advertise his skills to potential pupils at his school for leading statesmen. In it he argues the case for Athenian leadership of a pan-Hellenic expedition against Persia, representing it as a cultural as well as a military crusade. In To Nicocles, he offers advice to one of his pupils, the newly crowned king of Cyprus, on how to rule acceptably to his people and tolerably to himself. From it emerges a portrait of the ideal Hellenistic monarch. Less elaborately written than the Panegyricus, it displays its author's ability to write with clarity and economy. Greek text with parallel English translation.
Homer: Odyssey
Authors: Jones Peter
Published: December 2021

This edition is produced with particular concern for the student coming to Homer for the first time. The text is given with facing translation and commentary, but the usual apparatus criticus at the bottom of each page is replaced by brief notes on Homeric language. This makes the text considerably more accessible for those without Homeric Greek. These notes are cross-referenced to an introduction on Homeric language for those meeting it for the first time. Textual matters are discussed in the commentary itself, though this is, as is usual in the series, mainly concerned with the meaning of the epic.
On the Heavens I and II
Authors: Aristotle
Published: December 2021

The first two books of Aristotle's On the Heavens (De Caelo)
offer perspectives on the cosmology of a thinker whose ideas in this area were
considered authoritative by many until the seventeenth century. This new
translation and commentary provide the modern reader with the opportunity to
appraise Aristotle's ideas in relation to the cosmologies of his predecessors.
While tied to the thinking of the day, Aristotle nevertheless succeeded in placing
cosmology on a new footing; indeed, as the commentary in this volume shows, his
use of mathematics-style demonstration, along with his appeal to observation, in
avoiding more standard forms of argument, resulted in a methodology that often
shares common ground with today's cosmologies. Greek text, with facing-page
English translation, introduction, notes and commentary.
The 'Old Oligarch'
Authors: Marr J. L. , Rhodes P. J.
Published: December 2021

'Old Oligarch' is a label often applied to the unknown author of the Athenian Constitution preserved with the works of Xenophon. Probably written in the mid-420s B.C., it is the earliest surviving Athenian prose text, and its author was probably a young pupil of the teachers known as sophists. It is an essay which replies to oligarchic criticisms of the Athenian democracy by agreeing with the critics that democracy is distasteful but arguing that it is appropriate for Athens as a city whose power depends on the poorer citizens who row the navy's ships, and that it is successful and could not easily be overthrown. This edition provides a Greek text and English translation, with Introduction, Commentary and Appendixes which discuss the date, authorship and character of the work, the historical background, the statements and arguments presented by the author and features of the author's style.
Frightmares
Authors: Cooper Ian
Published: December 2021

The horror film reveals as much, if not more, about the British psyche as the more respectable heritage film or the critically revered social realist drama. Yet, like a mad relative locked in the attic, British horror cinema has for too long been ignored and maligned. Even when it has been celebrated, neglect is not far behind and what studies there have been concentrate largely on the output of Hammer, the best-known producers of British horror. But this is only part of the story. It's a tradition that encompasses the last days of British music hall theater, celebrated auteurs such as Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski and opportunistic, unashamed hacks. This book is an in-depth analysis of the home-grown horror film, each chapter anchored by close studies of key titles, consisting of textual analysis, production history, marketing and reception. Although broadly chronological, attention is also paid to the thematic links, emphasizing both the wide range of the genre and highlighting some of its less-explored avenues. Chapters focus on the origins of British horror and its foreign influences, Hammer (of course), the influence of American International Pictures and other American and European filmmakers in 1960s Britain, the 'savage Seventies' and the new wave of twenty-first-century British horror. The result is an authoritative, comprehensive and, most importantly, entertaining survey of this most exuberant field of British cinema.
Nosferatu
Authors: Massaccesi Cristina
Published: December 2021

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, directed by German director Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau in 1922, is not only regarded as one of the most intriguing and disquieting films to have been produced during the years of Weimar cinema but is also a key step in establishing the vampire as a cinematic figure and in shaping its connection with our subconscious fears and desires. The book's analysis of this hugely influential film, unravels the never-ending fascination exercised by the film over generations of viewers and filmmakers whilst at the same time providing the reader with a clear guide about the film's contexts, cinematography, and possible interpretations, covering the political and social context of the Weimar Republic and its film industry, the German Expressionist movement, the film's production, reception and difficult initial release. The book also includes the results of a lengthy interview between the author and E. Elias Merhige, director of the Nosferatu homage, Shadow of the Vampire (2000).
Chasing the Past: Geopolitics of Memory on the Margins of Modern Greece
Authors: Sintès Pierre
Published: December 2021

Since 2008, Greece has been at the centre of European current affairs due to the financial and economic crisis. However, it should not be forgotten that before the current crisis the political upheavals of the early 1990s and the collapse of Marxist-inspired regimes had already radically transformed the face of the country. These transformations have been seen as a return of the Balkans’ question, raising issues of border disputes and migration, minorities and national inclusion. They have had far-reaching consequences on the relations between Greek society and its peripheries, and what some have deemed to be its destabilising diversity. In this context, the material presented in this book examines the strengthening of discourses of belonging which draw legitimacy from a glorification of the past and tradition. The fieldwork carried out over the past 15 years on the fringes of Greece has focused on groups who were stigmatised and distanced from standard definitions of Greekness. It provides an original perspective on the changes that the country has undergone in recent decades. The question of the nation-state’s future is raised through close observation on the local scale, leading to a debate about the relationship between areal and reticular territory within the framework of globalisation. This book also aims to provide non-Francophone readers with access to research carried out on these issues in France, shifting the focus of Balkan Anglophone specialists for whom French publications remain a distant province.
Hasidic Studies: Essays in History and Gender
Authors: Rapoport-Albert Ada , Rosman Moshe
Published: December 2021

This volume shows the erudition of the author's contribution to rewriting the master-narrative of hasidic history. We now know that eighteenth-century Hasidism evolved in a context of intense spirituality. It developed through a process of differentiation from traditional ascetic-mystical hasidism. Its elite leaders only became conscious of a distinctive group identity after the Ba'al Shem Tov's death, and they subsequently spent the period from the late-eighteenth to the early-nineteenth century experimenting with various forms of doctrine, literature, organization, leadership, and transfer of authority. Surprisingly there was no attempt to introduce any revision of women's status and role; in the examination of this area of Hasidism, the author's contribution has been singularly revealing. Her work has emphasized that the movement has persisted in identifying women with an irredeemable materiality. Gender hierarchy persisted and, formally speaking, for the first 150 years or so of Hasidism's existence, women were not counted as members of the group. Twentieth-century Habad hasidism responded to modernist feminism by re-evaluating the role of women, but just as Habad appropriated modern rhetorical strategies to defend tradition, so it adopted certain feminist postulates in order to create a counter-feminism that would empower women without destabilizing traditional gender roles. The essays in this volume are a fitting statement of the author's importance to the study of Hasidism, to Jewish studies as a whole, and to the academic scrutiny of religion. Written over a period of forty years, they have been updated with regard to significant detail and to take account of important works of scholarship written after they were originally published.
MACROECONOMIC VARIABLES INFLUENCING HOUSING PRICES IN VILNIUS
Authors: Laurinavičius Alfredas , Laurinavičius Antanas , Laurinavičius Algimantas
Published: December 2021

The way macroeconomic variables such as unemployment/GDP per capita/inflation/wages/internal migration influenced housing prices (nominal house prices and housing rent prices) in Vilnius in 2006–2019 has been investigated in the research. Conditions under which different macroeconomic variables could influence housing prices were established in the research. Lower unemployment, higher GDP per capita and inflation rate were all related to higher nominal house prices in Vilnius. Higher GDP per capita, wages and internal migration were positively related to housing rent prices in Vilnius. Analyzed macroeconomic variables all together explained 88 percent of variance of nominal house prices in Vilnius over the period of 2006–2019 and 80 percent of variance of housing rent prices in Vilnius over the same period.
Untangling the Galaxy. III. Photometric Search for Pre-main-sequence Stars with Deep Learning
Authors: McBride Aidan , Lingg Ryan , Kounkel Marina , Covey Kevin , Hutchinson Brian
Published: December 2021

A reliable census of pre-main-sequence stars with known ages is critical to our understanding of early stellar evolution, but historically there has been difficulty in separating such stars from the field. We present a trained neural network model, Sagitta, that relies on Gaia DR2 and 2 Micron All-Sky Survey photometry to identify pre-main-sequence stars and to derive their age estimates. Our model successfully recovers populations and stellar properties associated with known star-forming regions up to five kpc. Furthermore, it allows for a detailed look at the star-forming history of the solar neighborhood, particularly at age ranges to which we were not previously sensitive. In particular, we observe several bubbles in the distribution of stars, the most notable of which is a ring of stars associated with the Local Bubble, which may have common origins with Gould’s Belt.
Adaptive Critical Balance and Firehose Instability in an Expanding, Turbulent, Collisionless Plasma
Authors: Bott A. F. A. , Arzamasskiy L. , Kunz M. W. , Quataert E. , Squire J.
Published: December 2021

Using a hybrid-kinetic particle-in-cell simulation, we study the evolution of an expanding, collisionless, magnetized plasma in which strong Alfvénic turbulence is persistently driven. Temperature anisotropy generated adiabatically by the plasma expansion (and consequent decrease in the mean magnetic-field strength) gradually reduces the effective elasticity of the field lines, causing reductions in the linear frequency and residual energy of the Alfvénic fluctuations. In response, these fluctuations modify their interactions and spatial anisotropy to maintain a scale-by-scale “critical balance” between their characteristic linear and nonlinear frequencies. Eventually the plasma becomes unstable to kinetic firehose instabilities, which excite rapidly growing magnetic fluctuations at ion-Larmor scales. The consequent pitch-angle scattering of particles maintains the temperature anisotropy near marginal stability, even as the turbulent plasma continues to expand. The resulting evolution of parallel and perpendicular temperatures does not satisfy double-adiabatic conservation laws, but is described accurately by a simple model that includes anomalous scattering. Our results have implications for understanding the complex interplay between macro- and microscale physics in various hot, dilute, astrophysical plasmas, and offer predictions concerning power spectra, residual energy, ion-Larmor-scale spectral breaks, and non-Maxwellian features in ion distribution functions that may be tested by measurements taken in high-beta regions of the solar wind.
Appropriate Use of Glycopeptide Antibiotics and Therapeutic Drug Monitoring for Invasive Infections
Authors: Kim Si-Ho , Lee Soo-Youn , Kang Cheol-In
Published: December 2021

Vancomycin and teicoplanin are representative glycopeptide antibiotics with activities against gram-positive cocci. The area under the drug concentration–time curve (AUC)/minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) has been extensively used as an indicator of the bacteriological response to glycopeptide antibiotics, and the trough concentration has been used as a surrogate marker for the AUC/MIC. However, the guidelines for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) are being revised in accordance with increasing pharmacokinetic understanding of glycopeptide antibiotics. This review describes the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of glycopeptide antibiotics and discusses their optimal use with appropriate TDM.
Le QCEE : un nouvel outil pour étudier le développement de la compréhension des émotions par l’enfant
Authors: Thommen Évelyne , Baggioni Laetitia , Veyre Aline , Guidetti Michèle
Published: December 2021

La reconnaissance et la compréhension des émotions par l’enfant sont des aspects fondamentaux de son développement. L’étude présente les résultats obtenus à partir de l’évaluation de 284 enfants âgés de 41 à 135 mois. Le QCEE (Questionnaire de Compréhension des Émotions pour Enfants) a été utilisé comme outil de récolte des données. La reconnaissance émotionnelle est évaluée à l’aide d’expressions faciales alors qu’une tâche d’inférence d’émotions à partir d’une histoire permet d’évaluer plus spécifiquement la compréhension des émotions. Les résultats montrent que la joie est l’émotion la mieux reconnue, quels que soient l’âge et la modalité de présentation. La peur est mieux reconnue dans une histoire avec un contexte, plutôt que sur un visage, contrairement à la colère. Ces résultats permettent de montrer le partage très progressif des conventions de représentations des émotions sur le visage et dans les récits au cours du développement. Cet outil en langue française pourra être utilisé par les professionnels qui interviennent sur le développement du raisonnement émotionnel des enfants.

La foi sans « Dieu » de Jean-Luc Nancy
Authors: Bouthors Jean-François
Published: December 2021

Jean-Luc Nancy, mort le 28 août 2021, était l’une des plus grandes figures de la philosophie française contemporaine. Largement lu et traduit à l’étranger, il avait notamment publié, parmi une œuvre abondante, deux importants volumes consacrés à la « déconstruction du christianisme », La Déclosion (Galilée, 2005) et L’Adoration (Galilée, 2010). Ancien membre de la Jeunesse étudiante chrétienne (JEC), il était un très fin connaisseur de la théologie et de la tradition, mais il ne se rangeait plus parmi les croyants.
S’évader légalement de la France de Vichy : le long imbroglio du rapatriement des Juifs portugais
Authors: Pereira Victor
Published: December 2021

En 1943 et 1944, environ 180 Juifs vivant en France sont rapatriés au Portugal, échappant ainsi à la Solution finale. Ces rapatriements mettent fin à un long imbroglio initié en 1913 lorsque des Juifs se sont inscrits sur les registres du consulat portugais à Salonique. Pendant près de 30 ans, en dépit de leurs revendications, leur nationalité portugaise a été contestée par le ministère des Affaires étrangères portugais. Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, si le Portugal continue à refuser de les reconnaître comme Portugais, ils risquent d’être internés et déportés. Cependant, l’engagement de plusieurs diplomates portugais permet à ces 180 Juifs d’échapper à la mort en se rendant au Portugal.

« Avez-vous tenté de vous évader ? » Le contrôle biographique communiste face à l’enjeu des évasions (1944-1961)
Authors: Boulland Paul
Published: December 2021

De la Libération aux années 1960, de très nombreux militants du Parti communiste français eurent à rendre compte de leurs parcours durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale par le biais de questionnaires et de rapports individuels récoltés dans le cadre des procédures internes de contrôle biographique. L’exploration de ces matériaux, issus des archives centrales du PCF, permet d’analyser ces mécanismes en interrogeant plus spécifiquement l’enjeu des évasions et des tentatives d’évasion. L’étude revient d’abord sur le fonctionnement de ce dispositif d’examen des parcours durant la guerre et sur la manière dont il contribue aux processus de sélection et de gestion du corps militant. L’étude d’un échantillon d’une centaine de dossiers individuels de dirigeants et de cadres intermédiaires du PCF permet ensuite de dresser une typologie des évasions et des récits, qui souligne l’intérêt de ce type de sources pour une histoire sociale de la guerre et de la Résistance.
Les études en sciences de l’information à la Haute école de gestion de Genève : cent ans de continuité et de transformations
Authors: Schneider René , Sabatini Choquard Laetizia
Published: December 2021

Les sciences de l’information évoluent et avec elles les compétences métier. Comment les plans d’études parviennent-ils à suivre ces évolutions ? Quels paradigmes choisir ? En 2020, le corps professoral de la HEG à Genève a entièrement repensé le contenu et l’architecture de la formation Information documentaire. La filière couvre à présent quatre grands axes : Bibliothéconomie, Archivistique, Veille & Recherche de l’information, Technologies de l’information. Ces changements, résultent d’une transformation plus globale qui concerne les sciences de l’information. L’article résume les éléments pris en considération lors de la refonte du Plan d’études et les étapes de ce processus.
Les comportements génocidaires. Considérations psychanalytiques
Authors: Castel Pierre-Henri
Published: December 2021

Si Norbert Elias est un des grands sociologues de la « civilisation », et qu’il a, d’autre part, reconnu le mérite de la conception freudienne du surmoi, c’est tardivement qu’il s’est confronté à l’énigme de la « décivilisation », dont le type est resté pour lui la barbarie nazie. Parmi ses continuateurs, plusieurs ont tenté de tester ses hypothèses sur les autres grands génocides du 20 e siècle. On examinera en particulier la contribution d’Abram de Swaan, ainsi que sa référence au « narcissisme des petites différences », et la façon dont il réarticule psychanalyse et sciences sociales pour en expliquer certains déterminants.
La catastrophe ou la vie
Authors: Dupuy Jean-Pierre
Published: December 2021

La pandémie est l’occasion de revenir sur la notion de catastrophe qui est l’un des fils rouges de l’œuvre de Jean-Pierre Dupuy dont les liens avec René Girard et Ivan Illich sont connus. Convaincu que l’humanité peut se détruire par la guerre nucléaire ou par le désastre écologique qui peut lui-même déclencher des guerres, il constate que la violence est au départ et à l’arrivée. Face à la catastrophe annoncée, l’expression de catastrophisme éclairé invite à la fois à prophétiser celle-ci et à la passer sous silence, c’est-à-dire l’annoncer pour faire office de dissuasion et l’ignorer pour ne pas tuer l’espoir « prophétique » d’un autre possible. La Covid est parallèlement l’occasion de revenir sur la vision des économistes pour lesquels la vie elle-même peut être une marchandise qui a un prix.
Socioanalyse Jungienne, le Social Dreaming et la Complexité Émergente de l’Europe
Authors: Vestergaard Arne , Odde Dorte , Juvin Claude
Published: December 2021

Cet article présente les éléments centraux de ce que nous avons appelé la socioanalyse jungienne – une théorie émergente combinant la psychologie analytique, les théories de la complexité, les théories sociologiques, la socioanalyse et la psychanalyse, le social dreaming , l’analyse de groupe et les théories de l’affect ; elle est basée sur cinq hypothèses (voir Odde & Vestergaard 2021a). Une socioanalyse jungienne se développe sur une approche de la socialité en forme de processus, et non sur une approche systémique. Dans cet article, nous nous focalisons surtout sur l’une des hypothèses, à savoir que la socioanalyse jungienne explore les champs sociaux « depuis l’intérieur » avec des petits groupes, considérant les processus de groupe comme un moyen d’obtenir une compréhension psychologique et culturelle d’entités sociales plus larges. Nous donnons un exemple de cette approche avec la présentation de deux expériences de social dreaming au Danemark, centrés sur l’Europe en transition. Nous montrons que le résultat le plus important n’est pas lié au contenu spécifique des rêves, mais plutôt à l’engagement dans le processus lui-même du social dreaming aboutissant à des images d’affects transformatrices. Cet article se termine par des réflexions sur la façon dont ces expériences de social dreaming façonnent une socioanalyse jungienne, visant la possibilité de réunions intersubjectives ou de moments présents, qui ouvrent à une compréhension plus profonde, de l’intérieur du groupe, contrairement à une approche systémique.
Association of blood pressure and postural control in older adults with hypertension: an observational study
Authors: Sharma P. , Parveen S. , Masood S. , Noohu M.M.
Published: December 2021

The study investigated the association of orthostatic hypotension (OH) with functional position change and balance in older adults with hypertension. The presence of OH was assessed with intermittent (OH intermittent) and continuous blood pressure (OH continuous) monitoring. The change in functional position was tested with sitting to standing assessment, balance performance using activity specific balance confidence scale (ABC), and timed up and go test (TUG). Testing unilateral and bilateral standing with and without altered sensory inputs was tested using the Humac balance system. ABC, TUG, and standing up time showed no significant association with OH intermittent and OH continuous. A significant association was found between bilateral standing with eyes closed on foam surface for overall stability index and OH intermittent. Older people with hypertension may be routinely examined for OH and appropriate intervention strategies should be included for comprehensive care.
Dirichlet characters of the rational polynomials

Published: December 2021

Denote by $ \chi $ a Dirichlet character modulo $ q\geq 3 $, and $ \overline{a} $ means $ a\cdot\overline{a} \equiv 1 \bmod q $. In this paper, we study Dirichlet characters of the rational polynomials in the form

   \begin{document}$ \sum\limits^{q}_{a = 1}'\chi(ma+\overline{a}), $\end{document}

where $ \sum\limits_{a = 1}^{q}' $ denotes the summation over all $ 1\le a\le q $ with $ (a, q) = 1 $. Relying on the properties of character sums and Gauss sums, we obtain W. P. Zhang and T. T. Wang's identity [6] under a more relaxed situation. We also derive some new identities for the fourth power mean of it by adding some new ingredients.

Published: December 2021

Network security has become considerably essential because of the expansion of internet of things (IoT) devices. One of the greatest hazards of today's networks is distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, which could destroy critical network services. Recent numerous IoT devices are unsuspectingly attacked by DDoS. To securely manage IoT equipment, researchers have introduced software-defined networks (SDN). Therefore, we propose a DDoS attack detection scheme to secure the real-time in the software-defined the internet of things (SD-IoT) environment. In this article, we utilize improved firefly algorithm to optimize the convolutional neural network (CNN), to provide detection for DDoS attacks in our proposed SD-IoT framework. Our results demonstrate that our scheme can achieve higher than 99% DDoS behavior and benign traffic detection accuracy.
Tituli loquentes en ibérico: una aproximación desde el análisis interno y la epigrafía comparada
Authors: Moncunill Noemí , Velaza Javier
Published: December 2021

Este artículo analiza una serie de inscripciones ibéricas en las que aparece el elemento -ḿi / -nai, para el que defendemos una interpretación o bien como pronombre personal de primera persona o bien como primera persona del verbo copulativo. De ello se desprende que un conjunto de inscripciones ibéricas, especialmente sobre cerámica, y en menor medida sobre plomo y piedra, podrían interpretarse como tituli loquentes y, en consecuencia, responderían a una tipología epigráfica bien conocida entre las culturas escritas del Mediterráneo occidental. El artículo indaga asimismo en los posibles modelos exógenos concretos que habrían podido motivar la adopción de este hábito, decantándose por la influencia de la epigrafía griega como motor principal.
Analyzing Sentiments and Diffusion Characteristics of COVID-19 Vaccine Misinformation Topics in Social Media
Authors: Daradkeh Mohammad
Published: December 2021

This study presents a data analytics framework that aims to analyze topics and sentiments associated with COVID-19 vaccine misinformation in social media. A total of 40,359 tweets related to COVID-19 vaccination were collected between January 2021 and March 2021. Misinformation was detected using multiple predictive machine learning models. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model was used to identify dominant topics in COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. Sentiment orientation of misinformation was analyzed using a lexicon-based approach. An independent-samples t-test was performed to compare the number of replies, retweets, and likes of misinformation with different sentiment orientations. Based on the data sample, the results show that COVID-19 vaccine misinformation included 21 major topics. Across all misinformation topics, the average number of replies, retweets, and likes of tweets with negative sentiment was 2.26, 2.68, and 3.29 times higher, respectively, than those with positive sentiment.
