Although survival rates are increasing in acute leukaemias today, this rate is lower in developing countries; there are very few studies conducted on this matter in refugee patients. This research aims to evaluate the survival rate in pediatric Syrian refugee patients with acute leukaemia and compare it with Turkish pediatric leukaemia patients. A total of 144 patients diagnosed with acute leukaemia were included in the study, and their files were reviewed retrospectively. Nineteen 144 patients (13%) were Syrian refugees, and 125 (87%) were Turkish patients. The median age of the Syrian refugees and Turkish patients was 6.9 years (range 1-18 years) and 7.2 years (range 2-18 years), respectively, and gender distribution was similar for both groups (p:0.32). The relapse rate and rate of patients in the high-risk leukaemia group were higher in the Syrian refugee patient group (p=0.05). The survival rates of the Syrian refugee patients at the 11th month and 23nd month of the follow-up were 87.5% and 70%, respectively. The survival rates of the Turkish patients in the 23rd month and 44th month of the follow-up were 96.6% and 85%, respectively. The survival rates of the Turkish patients were significantly higher (p<0,001). The odds ratio of mortality adjusted for being a Syrian refugee was 5.3 (with a 95% confidence interval, 1.5 to 18.3). No difference was observed between the groups regarding compliance with treatment. Survival rates of the Syrian refugee leukaemia patients were lower, and the rate of patients in the high-risk leukaemia group and the relapse rate was higher in Syrian refugee patients compared to Turkish patients.

The Time-lagged Study of Safety Leadership and Safety Behavior in a Hotel: Safety Motivation as a Mediator and Safety Attitude as a Moderator
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Personnel Administration, Chang Huseok , Piao Juanxiu , Han Juhee
Published: December 2022

Safety behavior is highly likely to be influenced by not only individual level factors, but also organizational or group level factors. However, in Korea, few studies have been conducted to classify each of factors on safety behavior. This study examines the effect of team leader’s safety leadership as a group level factor on safety behavior mediated through safety motivation and team member’s safety attitude as an individual level factor. This study was conducted in China from January to June 2022 with 512 subjects from 95 teams of 5-star hotels. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) for multi-level analysis is used to analyze the mechanisms by which safety leadership and safety attitudes influence safety behavior through safety motivation. The research results indicate that safety leadership and safety attitude can predict safety behavior. Safety motivation also played a mediating role in the relationship between safety leadership and safety behavior. This study, which conducted the time-lagged study, suggests that management should build appropriate safety leadership, continuously check the effectiveness of leadership through regular monitoring, and improve safety-related performance through encouraging safety attitudes and motivation.
A Study of Remix Music’s Transformation Methods
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Study of Popular Music, Kang Da hye , Yeo Woon Seung
Published: December 2022

The act of remixing to create a new cultural product by reconstructing an existing one is being performed in almost all cultural content fields today. Even so, although the remix concept originated in the musical field, theoretical discussion concerning its reconstruction principles in popular music compared to other genres is lacking. This paper analyzes the methods of transforming original songs in remixing. Furthermore, it presents a theoretical basis for its systematic understanding. Ninety-four previously released popular music remixes were selected and compared with the original songs in terms of musical elements, thereby identifying representative types of reconstruction as a new standard for remix music creation. This comparison is then further studied to explore whether applying analytical methods of literary works allows for a deeper understanding of the musical remix process. As a result, musical remix types were categorized as either 1) an “expansion” process that preserves the original accompaniment (i.e., background) and transforms the vocal composition, or 2) a “transposition” process that creates a new accompaniment while preserving the original vocals (i.e., characters). Based on this finding, musical remixing could be described as preserving either the vocals or the accompaniment of the original song while completely transforming the other element. Thus, it maintains the original piece’s identity and aura but simultaneously reveals the difference. These results identify types of remixing popular music based on principles borrowed from a non-musical genre. Furthermore, they analyze existing types and suggest systematic strategies for creating new ones.

Ghosts of Derrida: Between the Discourse of Memory and the History of Philosophy
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University, D’yakov Aleksandr V.
Published: December 2022

The paper turns to a well-known philosophical experiment of J. Derrida, who introduced hauntology, an imaginary science of ghosts orientated towards the texts of K. Marx. Based on Derrida’s productive idea , the author of this article suggests considering the figure of the ghost as being essential for the practice of memory and as constituting self-attitude of collective consciousness. The paper demonstrates the practical aspects of Derrida’s thesis about the need to address the ghost, which is a figure necessary for the formation of collective memory. The ghost is viewed as an actor constituting the space and the internal structure of collective memory, at the same time being an initiator of and a catalyst for the development of relations introjected by collective consciousness. Oftentimes, the most significant are those ghosts that have no real referent in the historical past and constitute collective memories by themselves. Thus, the ghosts inhabiting the collective memory of humankind are always constructs of human consciousness, entities from the register of the imaginary. The author demonstrates how the mechanisms of fixing ghosts as points of crystallization of collective memory can be described in terms of political economy as paradoxical objects irreducible to universal equivalence, but supporting it. Taking Derrida’s discourse about ghosts as a starting point, the author shows in what directions the sociological, political, aesthetic and philosophical aspects of this topic can be further developed. Moreover, according to the author, philosophy should retain in this process the function of integral discourse, which allows us to stay away from pure essayism and always remember our own goals and objectives.
Valerian Muravyov’s Concept of Mastering Time in the Anthropocene Epoch: A Dialogue Between the Natural and the Artificial
Authors:   National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Sukhanova Elena V.
Published: December 2022

This article analyses the teaching of Valerian Muravyov, a Russian cosmist, in the context of modern ecological discourse. It is emphasized here that at present, due to the active technological development, society is faced with the Anthropocene crisis. Its manifestations and ways of overcoming it are reflected in the works by representatives of Russian cosmism. The object of the research is the philosophical heritage of Muravyov as a prominent representative of the Russian philosophical thought. The purpose of this article was to study the concept of mastering time, developed by Muravyov, in order to find ways out of the dangerous socio-ecological situation in which the society of the Anthropocene epoch found itself in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, as well as to determine the possibilities of maintaining a balance between the natural and artificial human habitats under these conditions. Achieving this goal requires accomplishing a number of tasks, such as: a general analysis and assessment of the relevance of the idea of mastering time to the global problems of our era; examination of Muravyov’s interpretation of the concept of culture and its extrapolation to the problems of nature preservation in the process of the ongoing technological revolution; exploration of the works of philosophical and ecological theorists within the framework of the Anthropocene concept, while identifying correlations between these works and Muravyov’s ideas. The scientific novelty of this paper consists in the dissection of Muravyov’s ideas, still largely unresearched, in considering their relevance to the current socio-ecological problems, as well as in analysing their similarities with and differences from the theories of other representatives of the ecological and philosophical thought. In addition, the paper suggests possible ways to overcome the current crisis. It is concluded that Muravyov’s concept, including the idea of a rational transformation of the world by people, which requires their uniting for a common cause, may be applied to solve the problems faced by humanity in the Anthropocene epoch.
The Motif of Calvary in the chapelles ardentes of the Princes of Lorraine (1589)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Shapovalova Elena V.
Published: December 2022

This article dwells on the memorial services for Henry I, Duke of Guise, and Louis II, Cardinal of Guise, who were assassinated in Blois at the order of King Henry III of France. These services were special due to the arrangement of symbolic chapelles ardentes (‘burning chapels’) in the churches. The decoration of these chapels reflected not only the religious and political ideas of adherents of the Guise brothers, but also changes in religious art unrelated to the particular event. For instance, the prevalent motif of Calvary, which by the late 16th century had become common in the interiors of French churches following the decisions of the Council of Trent, as well as triumphal motifs that had been used to depict the ruling class throughout the 16th century and had fundamental importance in terms of the development of the ideas of the Renaissance and Gallicanism. The main visual sources used in the paper are engravings, both separate works (by Catholic engravers, primarily Jacques Lalouette’s work depicting in detail the Parisian chapelle ardente) and book illustrations, as well as descriptions of similar chapels whose images have not survived to the present day (e.g., Pierre Matthieu’s text describing the ceremony and the chapel in Lyon). Among other key motifs, besides Cavalry, we can name the imitation of Christ, as well as triumphal motifs in an antique manner, which are characteristic both of the court art during the period of the French religious wars in general, and of the House of Guise in particular.

Background. Prevention of the diseases is the cornerstone of medicine. Preventing of the diseases improves the quality and life expectancy, and also reduces the costs for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The main preventive measures include maintaining a healthy lifestyle (proper nutrition and regular exercise) and vaccination.Purpose: to study the influence of distance learning programs on the knowledge of doctors about the vaccination.Materials and methods: a distance learning cycle of lectures was conducted on the vaccination of elderly patients. Before and after the course of lectures, an anonymous voluntary survey of the course participants was conducted. The questionnaires included questions for free completion, questions for assessing attitudes on a scale from 0 to 10 (where 0 strongly disagree and 10 strongly agree) and multiple choices questions. Physicians were informed before the survey that the data would be subsequently analyzed and published.Results: 556 people took part in the first stage of the survey, of which 469 (84.3%) were women. 328 people took part in the second stage of the survey, of which 271 (82.6%) were women. The experience of doctors was on average 27±11,8 years, specialists from 72 specialties took part. Before the course of the lecture, on average, the opinion of doctors on vaccination was 8.7±0.1 out of 10, after the course of the lecture it became 9.1±0.1 out of 10 (p < 0.05). Before the start of the course, on average, doctors assessed their knowledge at 6.9±0.1, after the end of the course 7.7±0.1 (p < 0.05). After a course of lectures, 95% of the respondents answered that they would recommend vaccination to their older patients and relatives.Conclusion: on-line learning course of lectures has been shown to be an effective method of improving the quality of doctors' knowledge about the importance and safety of vaccination of people of older and senile age.
Análisis morfológico funcional de los materiales vítreos del sitio Mariano Miró, un pueblo a principios del siglo XX. (Departamento de Chapaleufú. Provincia de La Pampa. Argentina)
Authors: Pineau Virginia , Andrade Ariana , Fernandez Guadalupe , Sinka Laura
Published: December 2022

El sitio arqueológico Mariano Miró fue un pueblo que funcionó a la vera de la estación homónima del Ferrocarril Oeste entre 1901 y 1913 aproximadamente. Fue habitado por inmigrantes europeos que poblaron el norte de la provincia de La Pampa, Argentina, luego del exterminio de los pueblos originarios.

El equipo de arqueología arribó al sitio a pedido de la Secretaría de Cultura de la provincia dado que la maestra y los alumnos de la escuela rural cercana habían expuesto algunos de los materiales hallados en superficie en la Feria de Ciencias Provincial.

Desde 2011 se realizaron tareas arqueológicas donde se recuperaron objetos de diversas materias primas. En primer lugar, se determinó un área de 39.200 m2 a partir de la dispersión de los materiales en superficie. Luego se trazaron 14 transectas en sentido oeste-este divididas en 7 sectores. Allí se pasó el detector de metales para determinar concentraciones subsuperficiales y se recolectaron los materiales de superficie. Finalmente, se realizaron 23 sondeos, 2 cuadrículas y 3 trincheras.

Los objetos de vidrio representan un amplio porcentaje entre lo recuperado en los sitios arqueológicos históricos. Los materiales analizados en este trabajo provienen de las colecciones arqueológicas (de excavación y de superficie). A partir de un análisis morfológico funcional de 12.501 fragmentos vítreos de ambas colecciones y de fuentes históricas, tales como publicidades de la época, nos proponemos analizar las transformaciones en las prácticas de consumo que se efectuaron en el sitio por los nuevos pobladores a partir de 1884.
A Cybersecurity Model for a Roblox-based Metaverse Architecture Framework

Published: December 2022

The adoption of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets in futuristic and science fiction has made it possible for the Metaverse to exist as a single, universal, immersive virtual universe. By extending technology outside of our physical reality, the Metaverse alters the human experience. The four categories we use to categorize metaverse definitions are environment, interface, interaction, and social value. Currently, it is unclear what the metaverse's structure and elements are. A cybersecurity framework for these devices is necessary as the world grows more interconnected and immersive technologies are increasingly widely used in business, government, and consumer markets. Used was a literature review. The goal of the study is to create a cybersecurity model for a Roblox-based Metaverse architecture framework that can be applied to internationalization, the value chain of education, and the delivery of online and e-learning education. The research is conducted using the Interpretivist Paradigm, which is characterized by a subjectivist epistemology, a relativist ontology, a naturalist methodology, and a balanced axiology. Both the qualitative methodology and the quantitative methodology with an experimental research design were applied. A systematic literature review was conducted on the metaverse, AR and VR. By describing each aspect of the metaverse, we categorized definitions of the metaverse into four categories: environment, interface, interaction, and social value. The interface is based on the level of immersion and there are physical, immersive, and 3D interface options available. There are realistic, unreal, and blended environments in the metaverse. Social networking, teamwork, and persona discourse are the three categories used to describe interaction in the metaverse. A major advantage of 6G is that it facilitates instant communication in phones, computers, wearable devices, robotics, and more. The Cybersecurity model for a Roblox-based Metaverse architecture framework developed is a Bayesian Network, which is a directed acyclic graph that has an associated probability distribution function that can be used for multivariate analysis.
Over de betekenis van betekenis
Authors: de Koster Willem
Published: December 2022

A wide variety of social groups holds similar stances regarding many contemporary social issues: whether it is about corona measures, establishment politics, the European Union or vaccines, time and again an eclectic bunch of people shows a similar level of opposition to or support for the issue at hand. To understand what drives them, it is important to take into account how they themselves view these issues. In his inaugural lecture On the meaning of meaning, Willem de Koster argues that many puzzling social phenomena can be understood by analysing how people ascribe meaning to the world they live in. More specifically, it is important to uncover how they look at things, why this is the case, and how this inspires their actions. This, for instance, sheds new light on low levels of participation in citizens’ initiatives, clarifies different vaccination decisions, shows how people become sceptical about climate change, elucidates why information campaigns often work out differently than hoped for, and reveals why some people do and others do not follow health recommendations. In uncovering this, Willem de Koster not only applies his cultural sociological perspective to a wide range of social issues, but also uses a great variety of research methods. He argues that such a thematically and methodologically general sociology is of crucial importance for developing sociological insights as well as for the disciplinary identity and coherence of sociology.

The purpose of this study was to see how the relationship between self control and internetaddiction in adolescents. The lower the self control, the internet addiction will increase.Self control is the ability to control yourself, internet internet users who have high selfcontrol are able to regulate the use of the internet so that it does not sink into the internet,able to use the internet as needed, able to integrate online activities with other activities inhis life. Teenagers who cannot control themselves in using the internet will depend on theinternet which is commonly called internet addiction. Internet addiction can be interpretedas a syndrome characterized by individuals spending a very large amount of time using theinternet and cannot control their use while online. This study uses a quantitativecorrelational design method. The scale used is the self control scale and the internetaddiction scale that has been adapted. The results showed that there was a significantrelationship between Sig. (2-tailed) between self control and internet addiction is 0,000<0.05. Furthermore, the relationship between self control and internet addiction is 0,000<0.05. While the calculated value of r for the relationship of self control and internetaddiction is equal to - 0.770 <r table 0.279, it is concluded that there is a relationshipbetween variables. Because r count or Pearson Corellations is negative, which means thehigher the self control, the lower the internet addiction, and vice versa the lower the selfcontrol, the higher the internet addiction.
THE INFLUENCE MECHANISM OF OUTWARD FDI REVERSE TECHNOLOGY SPILLOVERS ON CHINA’S GREEN INNOVATION
Authors: Qin Bingtao , Gao Yaqi , Ge Liming , Zhu Jialing
Published: December 2022

With rapid global development, outward foreign direct investment (FDI) has become a controversial issue, mainly focused on whether it is helpful to domestic green innovation, especially in developing countries. How does outward FDI reverse spillover technology to China, and does China’s innate endowment restrict it? The relevant mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the heterogeneous effect of absorptive capacity on the impact path of reverse technology spillovers of outward FDI on green innovation in China. A fixed-effects panel model and stepwise regression analyze the direct relationship between outward FDI and green innovation and the mediating relationship of absorptive capacity. Threshold analysis reveals the mutation point of the mediating effect of absorptive capacity among China’s 31 provinces. Domestic green innovation is directly stimulated by more significant reverse technology spillovers of outward FDI. Absorptive capacity has an indirect impact as an intervening variable. The mediating effect will only make sense on one side of the threshold because the transformation effectiveness of green innovation is improved only by greater absorptive capacity, including adequate green financial support, more outstanding human capital, and a smaller technology gap. Moreover, it revealed significant regional heterogeneity in China.
Measuring He i Stark Line Shapes in the Laboratory to Examine Differences in Photometric and Spectroscopic DB White Dwarf Masses

Published: December 2022

Accurate helium White Dwarf (DB) masses are critical for understanding the star’s evolution. DB masses derived from the spectroscopic and photometric methods are inconsistent. Photometric masses agree better with currently accepted DB evolutionary theories and are mostly consistent across a large range of surface temperatures. Spectroscopic masses rely on untested He i Stark line-shape and Van der Waals broadening predictions, show unexpected surface temperature trends, and are thus viewed as less reliable. To test this conclusion, we present in this paper detailed He i Stark line-shape measurements at conditions relevant to DB atmospheres (T
electron ≈12,000–17,000 K, n
electron ≈ 1017 cm−3). We use X-rays from Sandia National Laboratories’ Z-machine to create a uniform ≈120 mm long hydrogen–helium mixture plasma. Van der Waals broadening is negligible at our experimental conditions, allowing us to measure He i Stark profiles only. Hβ, which has been well-studied in our platform and elsewhere, serves as the n
e diagnostic. We find that He i Stark broadening models used in DB analyses are accurate within errors at tested conditions. It therefore seems unlikely that line-shape models are solely responsible for the observed spectroscopic mass trends. Our results should motivate the WD community to further scrutinize the validity of other spectroscopic and photometric input parameters, like atmospheric structure assumptions and convection corrections. These parameters can significantly change the derived DB mass. Identifying potential weaknesses in any input parameters could further our understanding of DBs, help elucidate their evolutionary origins, and strengthen confidence in both spectroscopic and photometric masses.
An Early Catalog of Planet-hosting Multiple-star Systems of Order Three and Higher

Published: December 2022

We present a catalog (status 2022 July 1) of triple and higher-order systems identified containing exoplanets based on data from the literature, including various analyses. We explore statistical properties of the systems with a focus on both the stars and the planets. So far, about 30 triple systems and one to three quadruple systems, including (mildly) controversial cases, have been found. The total number of planets is close to 40. All planet-hosting triple-star systems are highly hierarchic, consisting of a quasi-binary complemented by a distant stellar component, which is in orbit about the common center of mass. Furthermore, the quadruple systems are in fact pairs of close binaries (“double–doubles”), with one binary harboring a planet. For the different types of star–planet systems, we introduce a template for the classifications of planetary orbital configurations in correspondence to the hierarchy of the system and the planetary host. The data show that almost all stars are main-sequence stars, as expected. However, the stellar primaries tend to be more massive (i.e., corresponding to spectral types A, F, and G) than expected from single-star statistics, a finding also valid for stellar secondaries but less pronounced. Tertiary stellar components are almost exclusively low-mass stars of spectral type M. Almost all planets have been discovered based on either the Radial Velocity method or the Transit method. Both gas giants (the dominant type) and terrestrial planets (including super-Earths) have been identified. We anticipate the expansion of this database in the light of future planetary search missions.
The Periodic Signals of Nova V1674 Herculis (2021)

We present time-series photometry during the early decline phase of the extremely fast nova V1674 Herculis. The 2021 light curve showed periodic signals at 0.152921(3) days and 501.486(5) s, which we interpret as respectively the orbital and white dwarf spin periods in the underlying binary. We also detected a sideband signal at the difference frequency between these two clocks. During the first 15 days of outburst, the spin period appears to have increased by 0.014(1)%. This increase probably arose from the sudden loss of high-angular-momentum gas (“the nova explosion”) from the rotating, magnetic white dwarf. Both periodic signals appeared remarkably early in the outburst, which we attribute to the extreme speed with which the nova evolved (and became transparent to radiation from the inner binary). After that very fast initial period increase of 71 ms, the period subsequently decreased—at 182(18) ms yr−1 in 2021, and 88(18) ms yr−1 in 2022. These rates are ∼100× faster than typically seen in intermediate polars. This could be due to high accretion torques from very high mass-transfer rates, which might be common when low-mass donor stars are strongly irradiated by a nova outburst.

The dynamical behaviour and thermal transportation feature of mixed convective Casson bi-phasic flows of water-based ternary Hybrid nanofluids with different shapes are examined numerically in a Darcy- Brinkman medium bounded by a vertical elongating slender concave-shaped surface. The mathematical framework of the present flow model is developed properly by adopting the single-phase approach, whose solid phase is selected to be metallic or metallic oxide nanoparticles. Besides, the influence of thermal radiation is taken into consideration in the presence of an internal variable heat generation. A set of feasible similarity transformations are applied for the conversion of the governing PDEs into a nonlinear differential structure of coupled ODEs. An advanced differential quadrature algorithm is employed herein to acquire accurate numerical solutions for momentum and energy equations. Results of the conducted parametric study are explained and revealed in graphs using bvp5c in MATLAB to solve the governing system. The solution with three mixture compositions is provided (Type-I and Type-II). Al2O3 (Platelet), GNT (Cylindrical), and CNTs (Spherical), Type-II mixture of copper (Cylindrical), silver (Platelet), and copper oxide (Spherical). In comparison to Type-I ternary combination Type-II ternary mixtures is lesser in terms of the temperature distribution. The skin friction coefficient is more in Type-1 compared to Type-2.

Authors: Zheng Qiong-jie , Zhao Huan-huan , He Ru
Published: December 2022

This study constructs an evaluation index system based on demand competitiveness, basic competitiveness, industrial agglomeration, industrial competition, industrial innovation, supporting industries, and government policy competitiveness. The study selected 13 provinces with good development of the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry as the sample. Based on the competitiveness evaluation index system, an empirical analysis was conducted to evaluate the development level of the NEV industry in Jiangsu with grey relational analysis and three-way decisions. The results reveal: 1) Under the absolute level of temporal and spatial characteristic attributes, the development of Jiangsu's NEV industry is in a leading position in the country, and the competitiveness level is closer to that of Shanghai and Beijing; 2) Under the incremental level, Jiangsu's incremental level ranks in the upper and middle reaches of 13 provinces, second only to Shanghai; 3) Under the volatility level, Jiangsu's industrial development fluctuates greatly, and the level of volatility lies in the middle reaches of the country. There is a big gap with Shanghai; 4) From the perspective of overall temporal and spatial characteristics, Jiangsu's overall industrial development level is in the first echelon in China, second only to Shanghai and Beijing, indicating that Jiangsu's NEV industry has a relatively good overall development level.
Hierarchical volumetric transformer with comprehensive attention for medical image segmentation
Authors: Zhang Zhuang , Luo Wenjie
Published: December 2022

Transformer is widely used in medical image segmentation tasks due to its powerful ability to model global dependencies. However, most of the existing transformer-based methods are two-dimensional networks, which are only suitable for processing two-dimensional slices and ignore the linguistic association between different slices of the original volume image blocks. To solve this problem, we propose a novel segmentation framework by deeply exploring the respective characteristic of convolution, comprehensive attention mechanism, and transformer, and assembling them hierarchically to fully exploit their complementary advantages. Specifically, we first propose a novel volumetric transformer block to help extract features serially in the encoder and restore the feature map resolution to the original level in parallel in the decoder. It can not only obtain the information of the plane, but also make full use of the correlation information between different slices. Then the local multi-channel attention block is proposed to adaptively enhance the effective features of the encoder branch at the channel level, while suppressing the invalid features. Finally, the global multi-scale attention block with deep supervision is introduced to adaptively extract valid information at different scale levels while filtering out useless information. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method achieves promising performance on multi-organ CT and cardiac MR image segmentation.
La publication en Ibéro-Amérique en tant que mode d’internationalisation des chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales du Conicet (Argentine)
Authors: Baranger Denis , Beigel Fernanda
Published: December 2022

L’internationalisation de la science et des scientifiques a fait l’objet d’un intérêt croissant pendant les deux dernières décades, spécialement de la part des communautés des pays « non hégémoniques » préoccupées par la faible incidence de leurs publications au niveau mondial. La globalisation académique a généré une culture évaluatrice dominante basée sur la prépondérance de l’article écrit en anglais, qui s’est répandue en direction Nord-Sud. Ceci a donné lieu à un système de publications dans lequel la part de la connaissance produite dans les pays périphériques, et plus spécifiquement par les chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales (SHS), est minime. Cependant, en marge de ce système mainstream d’autres voies d’internationalisation se sont développées et des langues locales résistent encore. L’intention de cet article est d’analyser les trajectoires des chercheurs en SHS du Conicet, le secteur le plus internationalisé du champ scientifique argentin, pour comprendre de quelle manière circule leur production, en ce qui a trait aux langues, aux circuits de publication et aux pays, ainsi que l’importance de la publication nationale.
La relation solution / contrainte dans le processus de conception architecturale
Authors: Morlé Estelle
Published: December 2022

Dans un processus de conception, l’explicitation des contraintes constitue une action de conception et non un préliminaire. À travers l’analyse des objets intermédiaires mobilisés dans les différentes phases de conception d’une cabane pastorale héliportable, l’article montre les relations qu’entretiennent les représentations du projet comme recherche de solutions avec l’explicitation des contraintes de conception auxquelles elles répondent. À l’inverse d’un processus descendant du problème vers la solution, l’étude montre comment les acteurs d’un projet d’architecture remontent des solutions envisagées vers la redéfinition des contraintes. L’inventaire des différents objets médiateurs ainsi que l’analyse de leurs matérialité, forme et transformations au cours du processus donnent à voir la dynamique itérative de l’activité de conception par les boucles d’évaluation qui s’opèrent entre une contrainte et les solutions qui en donnent la mesure.
Conserver et exposer les microbes au tournant du XXe siècle
Authors: Gallay-Keller Mathilde
Published: December 2022

Cet article analyse le dispositif de la première collection microbienne de l’Institut Pasteur à Paris (IP), depuis sa constitution en 1889 à la suite de l’ouverture de l’institution et durant toute la période où elle fut développée par son curateur, le pastorien Jean Binot (entre 1896 et 1909). Cela à partir de deux interrogations, qui invitent à reconsidérer les frontières entre les sciences de la vie dites « naturalistes » et celles dites « expérimentales ». Si, dans le projet de découverte et de classification de l’ensemble du vivant, les institutions naturalistes telles que les muséums tiennent une place de choix, la collection microbienne de l’IP – avec sa vocation première de servir de support expérimental à l’enseignement de la microbiologie – fut-elle pour autant étrangère au projet de nommer et classer le vivant microscopique ? Par ailleurs, si les biotechnologies disponibles pour conserver les microbes ont bien été décrite dans des collections de micro-organismes et des biobanques au XXe et XXIe siècle, qu’en était-il au passage du XIXe et du XXe siècle à l’IP ? L’article documente quelles furent les fonctions et usages de cette collection microbienne pour les restituer dans leur variété, puis s’intéresse à sa gestion biotechnologique pour montrer comment son curateur mit en place des techniques de vie latente des micro-organismes – encore utilisées aujourd’hui dans diverses collections naturalistes comme expérimentales.
Évolutions et involutions dans la biomédecine
Authors: Brives Charlotte , Froissart Rémy
Published: December 2022

La thérapie phagique, l’utilisation de virus bactériophages pour traiter les infections bactériennes, est une pratique centenaire méconnue qui connaît un regain d’intérêt depuis le début des années 2000 en grande partie en raison de l’augmentation de la résistance bactérienne aux molécules chimiques antibiotiques. Cet article, issu d’une collaboration de longue date entre une anthropologue et un biologiste, explore les possibilités de développement d’une thérapie prenant véritablement en compte les capacités évolutives et involutives des vivants. En revenant brièvement sur l’histoire du développement et de l’utilisation des antibiotiques, et en nous fondant sur plus de quatre années de terrain, nous montrons, avec les acteurs et actrices de la thérapie phagique, qu’un tel développement implique de repenser conjointement certaines des infrastructures matérielles de nos sociétés et le statut ontologique accordé aux microorganismes.
Countercyclical Fiscal Policy During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Calia Roland
Published: December 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a monumental economic and fiscal challenge to state and local governments. Their ability to use fiscal policies to address these challenges is limited due to structural and capacity issues. Only the federal government has the resources and capacity to implement meaningful countercyclical fiscal policies to mitigate the severe economic and fiscal disruption in the states caused by the pandemic. This chapter presents data on the amount of direct financial assistance provided to state and local governments through the CARES Act of 2020, Coronavirus Relief Fund, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and describes how the State of Illinois, Cook County, and the City of Chicago are utilizing those funds.
