La Super-Cocotte et la mère Denis
Authors: Brayet Aurélie
Published: June 2022

À travers des exemples de narration autour de produits phares de la société de consommation du xxe siècle (autocuiseur et lave-linge), cet article propose d’approfondir trois types de récits : le récit qui crée un terrain favorable à l’innovation (diffusion et acceptation), le récit qui légitime et sert de fondement à l’innovation et le récit qui rend acceptable l’innovation et permet de dépasser les craintes. De ces trois types de récits se dégagent des fonctions/utilisations différentes qui sont autant d’éléments essentiels à la compréhension du processus d’innovation spécifique du monde des arts ménagers. Il s’agit ici d’interroger les discours sur l’innovation à l’œuvre dans ce secteur traversé par une ambivalente « tradi-modernité » à travers le prisme du récit. Comment et pourquoi l’innovation est-elle racontée ? Et en quoi la forme du récit est-elle un vecteur d’analyse du processus d’innovation en histoire des techniques ? Que nous apprennent ces mises en récits du processus d’innovation lui-même ?
La mise en récit managériale des ordinateurs en France dans les années 1960
Authors: Neumann Cédric
Published: June 2022

Durant les années 1960, les ordinateurs se diffusent massivement dans les entreprises et les administrations françaises pour effectuer des tâches de gestion. Cet article s’intéresse aux récits à travers lesquels différents acteurs ont construit les ordinateurs, initialement employés à des tâches de calcul scientifique, comme instruments de gestion. Dans ces récits, la justification managériale de l’utilisation des ordinateurs ne réside plus dans la recherche de la productivité, mais dans celle de l’amélioration de la qualité de gestion. En effet, l’entreprise ou l’administration sont redéfinies autour de la libre circulation de l’information comme des réseaux. Dans le même temps, le champ d’intervention du traitement de l’information est aussi redéfini ; les ordinateurs deviennent des instruments de direction, nécessitant l’intervention des directions générales. Ce récit managérial les fait apparaître comme une « révolution » par rapport à la mécanographie, alors qu’initialement, ils étaient perçus comme une nouvelle manifestation de celle-ci.
« Corriger ce que le système des brevets peut avoir de trop restrictif »
Authors: Chachereau Nicolas
Published: June 2022

Ne connaissant pas de loi sur les brevets d’invention avant 1888, la Suisse du xixe siècle suit une trajectoire originale en Europe de l’Ouest. La première législation exclut les substances et les procédés chimiques par une clause qui ne paraît pas moins singulière : l’exigence que les inventions brevetées puissent être représentées par des modèles tridimensionnels. En retraçant la genèse de cette disposition, ainsi que la manière dont elle est mise en œuvre, cet article dégage les forces qui façonnent la première loi suisse. Se font alors jour les inquiétudes largement partagées quant aux conséquences de la nouvelle institution sur le développement technique, la concurrence ou le nombre de procès, inquiétudes qui héritent des remises en cause des brevets dans l’Europe du milieu du xixe siècle et de l’observation des systèmes de brevets d’autres pays.
Réflexions sur le rôle des missionnaires et des communautés catholiques dans les échanges techniques et commerciaux franco-chinois (deuxième moitié du xixe siècle)
Authors: Mau Chuan-hui
Published: June 2022

À la fin du xviie siècle, le gouvernement français finança la mission catholique en Chine, laquelle obtint des résultats fructueux dans les échanges culturels, scientifiques et techniques. Après la signature du traité de Whampoa en 1844, le chancelier de l’ambassadeur Lagrené, Charles de Montigny (1805-1868), fut nommé premier agent consulaire de France à Shanghai. Il s’inspira des méthodes employées par des jésuites en Chine pour promouvoir le commerce bilatéral et les échanges scientifiques et techniques entre les deux pays. En prenant le cas de la recherche du vert de Chine, cet article examine le rôle des missionnaires et des communautés catholiques.
La merveilleuse et féérique maison électrique de Georgia Knap
Authors: Boeglin Noémie
Published: June 2022

Inventeur touche à tout, Georgia Knap dévoile au public en janvier 1907 une fabuleuse maison électrique aménagée à Troyes. Cette maison et ses nombreuses descriptions fondent le mythe du récit initial, voire initiatique, du cicérone Knap conduisant le lecteur et le visiteur à la découverte de son invention. Démultipliée par des installations successives d’appartements électriques à Paris, le récit devient un véritable roman-feuilleton de la maison électrique. Pour Knap, le récit est un formidable outil de communication publicitaire : multipliant les épisodes et les supports, il entretient l’attention du public par des publications quasi-quotidiennes. Une dizaine d’années après l’émergence de la maison électrique les publications s’espacent puis disparaissent, la maison électrique tombe dans l’oubli sans pour autant qu’on connaisse réellement sa date de fermeture. Le récit de Knap semble alors être une histoire sans fin.
L’expérience étudiante en orientation : analyse par focus groups auprès d’étudiant·es en situation de handicap
Authors: Soidet Isabelle , Gouédard Catherine
Published: June 2022

Dans une perspective de justice sociale, la recherche visait deux objectifs : (1) explorer l’expérience en orientation d’étudiant·es en situation de handicap, (2) examiner en quoi mettre en place des séances collectives interrogeant cette expérience pouvait favoriser le développement identitaire. Deux focus groups avec des étudiant·es en situation de handicap ont ainsi été organisés dans deux universités françaises. Ancrée dans une perspective socioconstructiviste, l’analyse diachronique du corpus a permis d’identifier les mouvements dialogiques de chaque focus group, les processus de co-construction à partir d’extraits choisis d’épisodes interactionnels, et dans ce cadre les obstacles rencontrés et les ressources construites, mais aussi la dynamique interactive dominante. Les résultats soulignent que l’expérience en orientation du public cible est, sur certains aspects, singulière (poids des évènements liés à la santé, temporalité du parcours, construction identitaire). Ils montrent aussi que la méthode du focus group, développant et remodelant l’expérience, est susceptible de déployer le pouvoir d’agir.
Determinants of Career Indecision among Management Undergraduates in Sri Lanka
Authors: Galhena B. L. , Kumanayake P. N.
Published: June 2022

The main purpose of this study is to identify the significant factors affecting career indecision in light of state university management undergraduates in Sri Lanka. In the light of literature, five independent variables namely self-efficacy, parental influences, the economic condition of the country, poverty level and career counselling facilities were identified. The sample was derived from 153 final year management students from two metropolitan and two rural state universities. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect the necessary data. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. As per the key findings of the study, self-efficacy is the most significant factor impacting career indecision. Further, findings reveal that parental influences and career counselling services significantly explain the career indecision among the respondents. An understanding of the determinants of career indecision of management undergraduates is important for career counselling firms as they can pursue strategic intervention to reduce the level of career indecisions among management undergraduates. Further, the policymakers would be benefitted from these findings as they can understand the gravity of the problem along with the root causes behind the issue.

The Effect of Epidural Analgesia Added to General Anesthesia on Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index in Radical Prostatectomy Surgery
Authors: Gultekin A , Sahin A , Akgul M , Yildirim I , Altinoz K , Baran O , Arar C
Published: June 2022

Background:

Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is increasingly valued for its simplicity and predictability. Anesthesia/analgesia technique may affect cancer survey.

Aims:

The primary aim of this study is to offer a comparative evaluation for the effect of different anesthesia/analgesia techniques employed in radical prostatectomy surgery on SII, a new inflammatory index.

Patients and Methods:

Eighty-one patients who underwent radical prostatectomy between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2020, were included in the study. We recorded oncological demographic data of Group G (n = 45) and Group GE (n = 36), preoperative and postoperative (within the first 4 hrs and 24th hr) SII values, perioperative surgical bleeding, and amount of blood transfusion.

Results:

Despite the lack of significant difference in the SII values between the groups, both the peak SII level and the SII change in the postoperative period became higher in Group G than in Group GE. In addition, the amount of surgical bleeding and blood transfusion was observed to be significantly lower in Group GE (P < 0.001, P = 0.092, respectively).

Conclusions:

GE in radical prostatectomy surgery in terms of SII, the SII change in the postoperative period was more pronounced in Group G. However, a significant difference was noted in surgical bleeding in Group GE. We can conclude that comparing the SII values of different anesthesia techniques with prospective studies might thus create a difference in survival and metastasis at the micro-level.
Management and Outcome of Colorectal Cancer in a Resource-Limited Setting
Authors: Theyra-Enias H , Tumba N , Popoola OB
Published: June 2022

Background:

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies seen in the Western World. It is increasing in developing countries due to adaptation of the western lifestyle with an incidence of 6% in Nigeria. Treatment options are dependent on the stage of disease at presentation, the performance status of the patient, and increasingly the molecular makeup of the tumor. There is a dearth of data on the treatment options obtainable for the management and outcome of CRC cases in Northwestern, Nigeria.

Aim:

The study assessed the treatment options and outcome of colorectal cancer patients in a tertiary institution, in Northwestern, Nigeria over a 10-year period.

Patients and Methods:

Between January 2006 and December 2015, data of one-hundred and twenty-two histologically confirmed colorectal cancer cases seen at the Surgery, Radiotherapy and Oncology Departments, ABUTH Zaria, were retrieved retrospectively from the case files and treatment cards of the patients at the health information unit of the hospital. The stage at disease presentation, treatment received, and outcome were analyzed.

Results:

Nearly a quarter of the patients fell within the age bracket 31–40 years with the median age being 41 years. While only 41% of the patients had their disease staged, 30.4% of the patients presented with advanced disease (Dukes'C + D). Only 95 cases received a form of surgery or the other. Colostomy however accounted for 28.4%. Eighty-nine of the patients received chemotherapy either as neoadjuvant, adjuvant or with palliative intent. External beam radiotherapy either with radical or palliative intent was received by 60 patients (49.2%). At 1-year follow-up sixty cases had been lost to follow up, and thirty-six cases had defaulted on one form of treatment.

Conclusion:

The study showed that stage at presentation and the available treatment options in the hospital informed treatment offered to the patients. However, surgery was readily performed due to the pattern of presentation and most patients benefited from just a diverting colostomy. Majority of the patients presented with rectal tumor which required radiotherapy as part of its treatment modality, although this is still a luxury in this part of the world. Chemotherapy is also readily available and often prescribed. Cost and limited facility for biomarker (K-ras) testing restrict the use of targeted therapy. Outcome at 1-year follow-up was poor with whereabouts of nearly half of the patients unknown.
VISUALIZE: a 24-week,open-label study using nasal endoscopy video to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EDS-FLU 186 μg twice daily in adults with bilateral nasal polyps
Authors: Yao W.C. , Ramakrishnan V.R. , Luong A.U. , Citardi M.J.
Published: June 2022

Background: In prior phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trials, fluticasone propionate exhalation delivery system (EDS-FLU) over 24 weeks showed significant reduction in total polyp score compared with EDS-placebo. The goal of this study was to observe nasal endoscopy improvement(s) along with patient-reported symptoms associated with EDS-FLU administration over 24 weeks. Methods: This open-label, multicenter study enrolled adults with bilateral nasal polyp grade of ≥3 (out of 6), 22-Item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores ≥20, and previous sinus surgery. All patients received EDS-FLU 186 μg BID for 24 weeks. Nasal endoscopy was performed, and disease-specific quality of life and sense of smell were assessed with SNOT-22 and “Sniffin’ Sticks” at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. An independent reviewer evaluated videos and performed blinded polyp grading and Lund-Kennedy (LK) assessments. Results: Eleven patients were enrolled. At baseline, mean polyp grade was 3.1/6. SNOT-22 scores were 48.8, and Sniffin’ Sticks measurements were 11.8/48. A clinically meaningful reduction in SNOT-22 was noted at 24 weeks. Olfaction improved by 4.7 points. The mean polyp grade was reduced from 3.1 to 2.4 at week 24. LK edema scores were reduced by 2.2. Conclusion: EDS-FLU 186 μg BID given over 24 weeks resulted in clinically meaningful reduction in SNOT-22 scores and polyp grade improvement in most subjects. Endoscopic documentation showed reduced inflammation and edema not adequately captured with polyp-scoring methodology.

COVID-19’s rapid sweep across the world has caused an extraordinary disruption to the otorhinolaryngology (ORL) profession and its subspecialties including the rhinology section. The present pandemic forced our specialty practitioners to make quick clinical and practice management decisions. Staff safety must receive the highest prioritization along with strategies to provide the highest quality care. The purpose of the present manuscript is to provide a narrative review of the current knowledge and committee practices regarding ORL (including rhinology) professionals' safe practice during COVID-19 pandemic and after reopen process. The present review findings will allow the clinical practitioners to understand the factors involved in reducing the risk of transmission of COVID-19 in the ORL and rhinology settings, personal protective equipment (PPE) for different ORL and rhinology practices and criteria of practice in outpatient clinic (OPC), emergency operations and ORL surgeries. The emerging evidence based on COVID-19 is rapidly changing. Further updates may be needed to this review as new details or evidence emerge. ORL including rhinology doctors should consider the specific conditions of each individual place of work and comply with all applicable legislations.

Published: June 2022

Background: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the frequency of bony dehiscences in the optico-carotid recess (OCR) area and to measure the thickness of the bony lamellas bordering the OCR, according to our previously proposed OCR classification taking into account the extent of the recess. Methodology: A total of 100 human cadaver heads (n= 200 sphenoid sinuses) were investigated. Samples were divided into groups according to the presence and extent of OCR (no OCR, sub-optical OCR, latero-optical OCR). Bony dehiscences were visually identified and bone thickness was measured by using a high-resolution micrometer. Results: A bony dehiscence in the OCR area was observed in 20%. A significant difference in bony dehiscence occurrence rate between OCR types was found. The wall thickness of the bony carotid artery- and optic nerve canals bordering the OCR were 0.25 ± 0.16 mm and 0.27 ± 0.15 mm, respectively. Significant differences between OCR groups in bony wall thickness of the carotid artery canal and optic nerve canal were found. Samples with a latero-optical OCR had a significant thinner wall of the carotid artery and optic nerve canal than samples with a sub-optical OCR and no OCR. Conclusions: The current results indicate that the presence of an extended OCR, e.g. latero-optical, is highly associated with a greater risk of bony dehiscences and thinner bony lamellas in the OCR region.
Willingness to share anonymised routinely collected clinical health data in Switzerland: a cross-sectional survey
Authors: Pletscher Flurina , Mändli Lerch Karin , Glinz Dominik
Published: June 2022

AIMS OF THE SURVEY: Routinely collected health data (or real-world data) from hospitals is becoming increasingly important to advance medical progress. Anonymisation of these data facilitates data sharing processes. This allows stakeholders of the healthcare system to compliantly access this anonymised data to address epidemiological questions, advance precision medicine, support drug development or address other medical needs. As the willingness of the general Swiss population to share anonymised health data has been uncertain, a survey was conducted to better understand their perception of sharing such data for research purposes. The present survey focused on the re-use (secondary use) of hospital-derived health data in anonymised form.
METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in a representative random sample (n = 1006) of the general Swiss population. The general population was contacted by phone between 14 September and 3 October 2020. The survey was also conducted in an additional population with chronic disease (n = 225) via an online panel. An independent research organisation (gfs-zürich) was commissioned to conduct the survey. The survey participation was anonymous and voluntary. The demographic composition of the interviewed participants from the general population was specifically constructed to be representative of the 18+-year-old French- and German-speaking population of Switzerland, according to the quota features gender, age and language region. Representativeness of the chronic disease population is unclear.
RESULTS: 71% of the general population and 81% of the chronic disease group reported that they would share their anonymised health data for medical research. The drivers were mainly of an altruistic nature. Hurdles concern mainly data protection issues, potential misuse or disadvantages, e.g., by health insurers. About 56% of the general population would like to be better informed about the use of their personal health data, and 69% spontaneously reported health authorities as the stakeholder responsible for providing such information.
CONCLUSIONS: The survey showed that the Swiss population is willing to share anonymised health data given that some key concerns are addressed. Our findings underline that a better understanding of the standards and processes around health data privacy and transparent data usage is important to build trust in the public eye. An open dialogue is required to develop a common consent on data governance for Switzerland, which would allow health data sharing with third parties. This open dialogue should involve all stakeholders of the healthcare system, so as to strive towards both a more personalised and a more sustainable Swiss healthcare system.

This article is framed in the specific migration scenario seen in recent years, in which migrants arrive at the external border of the European Union (mainly Andalusia and the Canary Islands), transit through the Spanish mainland to the border between the Spanish and French States (located in the autonomous region of the Basque Country) with the intention of continuing on to other countries in northern Europe, such as France, Belgium or Germany, among others. The aim of this paper is to offer a general descriptive overview of these movements of people in transit through a European State, as well as to identify the challenges faced by institutional resources and processes that have had to be created recently, in order to offer assistance to people to help them in their journey, or to receive them when the circumstances or their transit projects become difficult or are altered. Keywords: migration in transit, institutional resources, reception, borders, Basque Country, Spain. ●●●●●● Acest articol se încadrează în secnariul de migrație specific, ce s-a putut vedea în ultimii ani, în care migranții ajung la granița externă a Uniunii Europene (de obicei, Andaluzia și Insulele Canare), tranzitează prin partea continentală a Spaniei, spre granița dintre Spania și Franța (situată în regiunea autonomă a Țării Bascilor), cu intenția de a continua să meargă mai departe, spre alte țări din Nordul Europei, cum sunt Franța, Belgia sau Germania, printre altele. Scopul acestui articol este acela de a oferi o privire generală descriptivă a acestor mișcări de oameni în tranzit printr-un stat european, ca și acela de a identifica provocările pe care le resimt procesele și resursele instituționale ce a trebuit să fie create recent pentru a oferi asistență oamenilor în a-i ajuta în drumul lor, sau spre a-i primi, atunci când circumstanțele proiectelor lor de tranzit devin dificile sau sunt alterate.

Migrant street workers are removed from urban spaces in the Italian cities where they work, because of municipal and police decisions. The methodology followed in this research oriented to understand migrant street vending in Italy is constructivist and mixed, qualitative, and quantitative. The hypothesis that is supported by this article is that the political and racist restrictions imposed on immigrant street vendor workers produce a process of irregularisation that jeopardises their chances of renewing their residence permit or gaining access to citizenship. The paper then discusses how forms of racialization are reproduced through systems of irregularisation, and introduces the concept of democratic racialization to understand how racialisation is reproduced, consolidated, and normalised by democratic instruments. The paper ends with suggestions for future research to collect data on police decisions and actions against foreign street workers. Keywords: racialisation; urban space; race profiling; public policies; urban ethnography. ····· Migranții lucrători stradali sunt îndepărtați din spațiile urbane în orașele italiene în care lucrează, prin deciziile municipalităților și poliției. Metodologia urmată în această cercetare, orientată spre înțelegerea activităților de vânzare stradală desfășurate de migranți în Italia, este constructivistă și mixtă, calitativă și cantitativă. Ipoteza susținută de articol este că restricțiile politice și rasiste impuse lucrătorilor migranți vânzători stradali produc un proces de nereglementare care le periclitează șansele de a-și reînnoi permisele de rezidență sau de a accede la cetățenie. Articolul discută cum formele de rasializare sunt reproduse prin sistemele de nereglementare și introduce conceptul de ”rasializare democratică” pentru a înțelege cum rasializarea este reprodusă, consolidată și normalizată prin instrumente democratice. Materialul se încheie cu sugestii pentru cercetări viitoare, care să colecteze informații despre deciziile și acțiunile poliției împotriva vânzătorilor stradali străini. Cuvinte-cheie: rasializare; spațiu urban; profilare rasială; politici publice; etnografie urbană.

Bu makaledeki en büyük zorluk bu temel kavramların her topluma ve kültüre göre farklılık göstermesidir. Bundan dolayı da konuyu biraz daha sınırlayıp daha dar bir anlamda ifade etmeye çabalamak olacaktır. Diğer taraftan farklı dinler, farklı toplumlar, farklı kültürler olmasına rağmen, özellikle ahlak, erdem, karakter, inanç ve tutum kavramlarının birçok kültürde aynı anlama gelmesi konuyu kavramada daha büyük bir kolaylık sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
İŞLETME GRUBUNA BAĞLILIK, ÇEŞİTLENDİRME STRATEJİLERİ VE FİRMA PERFORMANSI ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: ÖZEN Özlem
Published: June 2022

Ürün çeşitlendirme ve uluslararası çeşitlendirme gelişmekte olan ve gelişmiş ekonomilerdeki firmalar tarafından uygulanan stratejilerdendir. Bu stratejiler firma performansı üzerinde olumlu veya olumsuz etkiler yapmakta ve bu etki firmaların içinde bulundukları bağlama göre değişebilmektedir. Ürün çeşitlendirme, uluslararası çeşitlendirme ve firma performansı arasındaki ilişkileri etkileyen faktörlerden birisi işletme gruplarıdır. İşletme grupları kendilerine bağlı firmalara bu stratejileri sürdürmede kaynak ve bilgi sağlamaktadır. Yazındaki çalışmalar, farklı ekonomilerde çeşitlendirme stratejileri ve firma performansı arasındaki ilişkileri ve bu ilişkideki aracı faktörleri incelemişlerdir; ancak, işletme grubuna bağlılığın rolüne daha az değinilmiştir. Bu nedenle bu çalışma, ürün çeşitlendirme, uluslararası çeşitlendirme ve firma performansı arasındaki ilişkileri işletme grubuna bağlılığı dikkate alarak tartışmaktadır. Bu çalışma ayrıca ilgili yazın çerçevesinde araştırma gerektiren önermeler sunmaktadır. Önermeler, firmaların ürün ve uluslararası çeşitlendirmeden faydalanabileceğini; ancak, bu stratejilerin diğer yandan firma performansına zarar verebileceğini ileri sürmektedir. Ayrıca, işletme grubuna bağlılık bu ilişkilerde olumlu veya olumsuz aracı etki yapabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, çeşitlendirme stratejileri, firma performansı ve işletme grubuna bağlılık arasındaki ilişkiler üzerine ileride yapılabilecek araştırmalar için temel oluşturulması amaçlanmaktadır.

A semiotização de mundo na Veja: noticiar para convencer
Authors: Rebello Ilana Da Silva
Published: June 2022

Este trabalho, que é parte de uma pesquisa de pós-doutorado em andamento, tem por objetivo analisar a semiotização de mundo em algumas capas da revista Veja sobre a pandemia de Covid-19. A revista Veja configura-se como um produto do campo jornalístico, cuja legitimidade está em não apenas produzir e divulgar informações, mas também em atualizar a realidade e a renovar a apreensão do mundo. Como o próprio nome indica, a Veja mostra o que julga importante saber, de uma maneira particular, não transparente. Assim, a partir da teoria Semiolinguística de Análise do Discurso, objetivando um estudo qualitativo, serão apresentados alguns conceitos caros à teoria, como o processo de semiotização de mundo (Charaudeau, 1995); o ato interenunciativo entre o sujeito comunicante e o sujeito interpretante (Charaudeau, 2001) e os modos de organização do discurso (Charaudeau, 2008).
Referenciação e valores em textos polêmicos
Authors: Da Silva Ananias Agostinho , Paiva Brito Mariza Angélica
Published: June 2022

Este trabalho busca observar como unidades textuais de natureza verbal são valoradas em processos referenciais e de que forma determinam a orientação argumentativa de textos polêmicos. Parte do pressuposto de que os referentes são recategorizados nos textos conforme as escolhas efetuadas pelos locutores em contextos interacionais para atender a propósitos comunicacionais específicos. Por isso, teoricamente, fundamenta-se na Linguística Textual (CAVALCANTE et al, 2020a) numa interface com a teoria da argumentação no discurso (AMOSSY, 2017). Para análise, examina uma reportagem jornalística do Gazeta do Povo e os comentários reativos a fim de destacar que as recategorizações de referentes são construídas exatamente em função da questão polêmica em curso, o que implica o recurso aos valores axiológicos dos interlocutores.

Published: June 2022

En esta entrevista, nos sumergimos en la carrera del profesor Christopher Tindale, empezando por sus años como estudiante de doctorado, pasando por su trabajo en la Universidad de Trent, hasta su invitación a unirse al Centre for Research in Reasoning, Argumentation and Rhetoric (Centro de Investigación en Razonamiento, Argumentación y Retórica, CRRAR) de la Universidad de Windsor, donde trabaja actualmente. Hablamos de su experiencia en el CRRAR y de su interacción con otros importantes especialistas en argumentación, así como del rol que el Centro desempeña hoy en la formación de investigadores en argumentación. Sin embargo, nuestro énfasis recae en el trabajo del profesor Tindale sobre la teoría de la argumentación. Discutimos la historia y la concepción de algunos de sus libros, junto con algunas de las ideas más importantes desarrolladas en ellos.
Les remontrances : discours de paix et de justice en temps de guerre
Authors: MELLET Paul-Alexis
Published: June 2022

Un grand nombre de textes imprimés intitulés « remonstrances » paraissent en France pendant les conflits politiques et religieux de la fin du XVIe siècle. Mais que sont ces remontrances, dès lors que l’on sort de l’enceinte parlementaire ? En quoi se distinguent-elles des doléances, des requêtes, des harangues, des suppliques, des plaintes, etc. ? Sont-elles caractéristiques d’un seul camp confessionnel ? En cherchant à distinguer ce genre hybride, entre écrit et oralité, cette étude montre que les remontrances révèlent une face cachée de cette période de troubles. En effet, loin de la violence souvent mise en valeur, elles soulignent au contraire l’importance des discours de paix et de justice en temps de guerre, mais aussi la permanence des négociations discrètes en vue de la réforme de l’Église et de l’État. Elles font finalement apparaître une autre chronologie de ce que l’historiographie a retenu sous le terme de « guerres de religion ».
Geographic prediction of crimes against property using Neural Networks and the SARIMA model
Authors: Troncoso Espinosa Fredy Humberto , Gomez Correa Danilo Alberto
Published: June 2022

Predicting the number of crimes that will be committed in a certain geographical area is important for the management of resources destined for crime prevention. This research develops two predictive models of time series for the geographic prediction of property crimes in two districts of Chile Talcahuano and Hualpén. The models investigated were Neural Networks and SARIMA. Both models were trained and tested with the information provided by the Regional Prosecutor's Office of BioBío, Chile. The information contains the crimes against property committed in both districts between 2009 and 2019. The models were compared using the MAPE, MAD, and MSE forecast error measures. The comparison of the results does not show statistically significant differences between the results of both models.

Keywords: Predictive Model, Time Series, Neural Networks, Crime Analitycs.
