Optimized intuitionistic fuzzy enriched honey badger algorithm for cloud network-based work load scheduling
Authors: Sundaresan Yuvaraj Gandhi , Thiyagarajan Revathi
Published: June 2024

The difficulty of scheduling jobs or workloads increases due to the stochastic and transient characteristics of the cloud network. As a key prerequisite for establishing QoS, it asserts that effective work scheduling must be developed and executed. Maximum profit is made possible for cloud service providers by proper resource management. The most effective scheduling algorithm considers resources given by providers rather than the task set that users have accumulated. This paper developed a model that works in a two-level hierarchical model comprising global scheduling and local schedules to handle the heterogeneous type of request in real-time. These two levels of scheduling communicate with each other to produce an optimal scheduling scheme. Initially, all the requests are passed to the global scheduler, whose task is to categorize the type of request and pass it to the corresponding queue for assigning it to the related local scheduler using a parabolic intuitionistic fuzzy scheduler. In this work, the heterogeneous types of files are handled by maintaining different queues, in which each queue handles only a specific type of file like text doc, audio, image and video. Once the type of req is initiated by the clients, the global scheduler identifies the type of request and passes it to their relevant queue. In the next level, the local scheduler is assigned to each type of web server cluster. Once the work request is dispatched from the global workload scheduler, it is allocated to the local queue of the local scheduler, which allocates the resources of web servers by adapting the Quantum Honey Badger Algorithm, which searches the best-suited server for completing the assigned work based on the available resource parameters.

Authors: Shan Zhengyi , Zhu Shihong
Published: June 2024

By constructing an evaluation system for the high-quality development of innovation and entrepreneurship, an evaluation index system was established in this study from five aspects: the background, process, input, output, and transformation of innovation and entrepreneurship, and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy method (EM) were adopted to perform combination weighting. Then, the core of each subsystem and the comprehensive score were calculated based on the TOPSIS method, the high-quality development level of urban innovation and entrepreneurship in 19 vice-ministerial cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Chengdu in China was measured, and the innovation and entrepreneurship development level and structural characteristics were analyzed from five aspects. The results show that Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, and Guangzhou take the lead in the high-quality development of innovation and entrepreneurship, while Xi’an, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Qingdao, Jinan, and Ningbo are in the medium level. Chongqing, Shenyang, Dalian, Harbin, Xiamen, and Changchun perform poorly in the development of innovation and entrepreneurship with problems of interregional large gradient difference in capacity and unbalanced development, which provides an important reference for understanding the current situation, advantages, and disadvantages of innovation and entrepreneurship education development in various economic zones.

Authors: Zhang Ranran
Published: June 2024

As a booster of the national economy and a catalyst of industrial development, the logistics industry uniquely maintains stable economic operations and promotes industrial structural adjustment. The development of China’s logistics industry has broadened the international market and accelerated the exchange and cooperation of logistics industries between different countries. The “Belt & Road Initiative” will continue to provide impetus for the development of China’s logistics industry, which can guarantee the infrastructure interconnection of the logistics industry and ensure the fundamental implementation of the initiative. Based on theoretical analysis and the panel data of 30 provinces in China during 2005–2020, whether the “Belt & Road Initiative” had obvious policy effects on regional logistics development in China was analyzed. The empirical research results showed that the “Belt & Road Initiative” could accelerate the high-quality development of the logistics industry in the provinces along the route during the research period. Industrial proportion, per capita GDP, import and export amount of goods, investment in fixed assets of the whole society, and science and technology input positively affected the development of regional logistics industries. The regression coefficient of the energy structure in the logistics industry was negative but not significant. The research results have important decision-making reference values in promoting the regional advantages of modern logistics industries, promoting the convenience of logistics trade, improving the scientific and technological level of the logistics industry, and using other exogenous policy variables to boost the high-quality development of modern logistics industries under the background of the “Belt & Road Initiative”.
Method for countering strategic attacks in zero-boundary trusted networks
Authors: Liu Wei
Published: June 2024

This paper proposes a detection method for countering strategic attacks in zero-boundary trusted networks. In a normal network, malicious nodes are only a minority; therefore, this paper employs a simple game-theoretic approach to suppress the occurrence of malicious events. Firstly, the paper introduces a behavior-based event inference method to detect malicious events, wherein nodes reference the inference results of other nodes to form composite reports. Subsequently, the paper introduces a simple game, allowing malicious nodes to choose not to falsify reports under disadvantaged scenarios, reaching a Bayesian equilibrium with normal nodes, thereby reducing the incidence of malicious events. This method demonstrates significant effectiveness in conventional networks where malicious nodes constitute a minority.

Authors: Sun Hua , Su Kaifeng , Yang Yifan
Published: June 2024

As an important part of automotive shock absorber, the columnar parts in automotive shock absorber will inevitably have machining defects during the process, which will not only degrade the performance of the parts, but also degrade or even fail the performance of the final shock absorber after assembly. Yolov5, as a target detection algorithm, has received much attention due to its high accuracy and fast operation speed. However, the algorithm faces some challenges when applied in a practical industrial environment. In this paper, improvement measures are proposed to address the limitations of sample collection and the high speed of pipeline recognition in industrial environments. The network model is optimized and designed. Firstly, the ASPP module is replaced by the SPP module thus improving the viewability throughout the process providing recognition accuracy. Secondly, the Conv and C3 layers of Yolov5s are replaced by Transformer to obtain higher recognition accuracy. By improving and optimizing the above methods, we can better cope with the improvement of detection accuracy under small sample conditions. Experiments show that the method can significantly improve the detection accuracy and operation speed of Yolov5s under the hardware condition of lower computing power, which is more suitable for industrial scenario application scenarios.

Published: June 2024

The application of computer information management system (IMS for short here) in university management faces problems such as incomplete system software and complex system design. Applying clustering algorithms (CA for short here) to computer student IMS can help optimize the system’s overall effectiveness. This article constructed a computer student IMS based on computer technology and applied it to the management of college students. This article also combined CA to conduct relevant effectiveness tests on the system, in order to optimize the overall effectiveness of the system. Under the algorithm in this article, the average connection speed for each user accessing the system was 9.17 Mbps. The average reaction time was 0.34 seconds, the average security level was 92.47%, and the highest memory usage rate of the system was 34.27%; Under the decision tree algorithm, the average connection speed of each user accessing the system was 8.82 Mbps, and the average reaction time reached 0.64 s. The average security level was 88.41%, and the highest memory usage rate was 42.58%. Under the artificial neural network algorithm, the average connection speed of the system was 8.47 Mbps, the average response time was 0.86 s, and the highest memory usage rate was 45.97%. Analyzing the data reveals that the algorithm introduced in this paper significantly enhances system connection speed and reduces reaction time. This improvement not only enhances security measures but also minimizes memory usage, effectively optimizing the overall efficiency of the system.

Published: June 2024

Background: Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) has revealed microstructural changes in white matter (WM) in Huntington’s disease (HD). Objective: To compare the validities of different dMRI, i.e., diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in HD. Methods: 22 mutant huntingtin (mHTT) carriers and 14 controls were enrolled. Clinical assessments and dMRI were conducted. Based on CAG-Age Product (CAP) score, mHTT carriers were categorized into high CAP (hCAP) and medium and low CAP (m& lCAP) groups. Spearman analyses were used to explore correlations between imaging parameters in brain regions and clinical assessments. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to distinguish mHTT carriers from control, and define the HD patients at advanced stage. Results: Compared to controls, mHTT carriers exhibited WM changes in DKI and DTI. There were 22 more regions showing significant differences in HD detected by MK than FA. Only MK in five brain regions showed significantly difference between any two group, and negatively correlated with the disease burden (r = –0.80 to –0.71). ROC analysis revealed that MK was more sensitive and FA was more specific, while Youden index showed that the integration of FA and MK gave rise to higher authenticities, in distinguishing m& lCAP from controls (Youden Index = 0.786), and discerning different phase of HD (Youden Index = 0.804). Conclusions: Microstructural changes in WM occur at early stage of HD and deteriorate over the disease progression. Integrating DKI and DTI would provide the best accuracies for differentiating early HD from control and identifying advanced HD.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND: Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) has demonstrated efficacy in patients with cognitive impairment. However, activation patterns and mechanisms of iTBS for post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) remain insufficiently understood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the activation patterns and potential benefits of using iTBS in patients with PSCI. METHODS: A total of forty-four patients with PSCI were enrolled and divided into an iTBS group (iTBS and cognitive training) or a control group (cognitive training alone). Outcomes were assessed based on the activation in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), as well as Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA) and the modified Barthel Index (MBI). RESULTS: Thirty-eight patients completed the interventions and assessments. Increased cortical activation was observed in the iTBS group after the interventions, including the right superior temporal gyrus (STG), left frontopolar cortex (FPC) and left orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Both groups showed significant improvements in LOTCA and MBI after the interventions (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the iTBS group augmented superior improvement in the total score of MBI and LOTCA compared to the control group, especially in visuomotor organization and thinking operations (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: iTBS altered activation patterns and improved cognitive function in patients with PSCI. The activation induced by iTBS may contribute to the improvement of cognitive function.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND:

Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is a commonly employed treatment method for disorders of dizziness and imbalance. Access to a clinic for rehabilitation appointments can be challenging for a person experiencing dizziness. Telehealth may offer a comparable alternative to clinic-based VR for some patients.

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of telehealth-based VR compared to traditional clinic-based VR, as measured with the Dizziness Handicapped Inventory (DHI) in a retrospective sample of patients with vestibular conditions.

METHODS:

This is a retrospective, multi-institutional review from May 2020 to January 2021. Three study groups were analyzed: a telehealth group, a hybrid group, and a clinic based control group. Treatment efficacy was measured using the DHI. A repeated measures ANCOVA was performed to compare changes between the groups and across timepoints.

RESULTS:

The repeated measures ANCOVA was not significant for the interaction of groups (control, telehealth, and hybrid) by time (pre and post) ( p > 0.05). However, there was a significant main effect for time (pre and post) ( p < 0.05). Specifically, all groups improved DHI scores from pre to post treatment with mean differences of control: 31.85 points, telehealth: 18.75 points, and hybrid: 21.45 points.

CONCLUSION:

Findings showed that in-clinic, telehealth, and hybrid groups demonstrated a decrease in DHI scores, indicating self-reported improvements in the impact of dizziness on daily life. Continued research is recommended to explore the efficacy of using telehealth in assessing and treating vestibular conditions.

The article discusses the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) as the most common joint disease. The recommendations from professional associations for the patient management in OA using hyaluronic acid (HA) preparations differ somewhat depending on the affected joint, although they generally indicate positive effects of their use. Studies have shown the HA participation in the phagocytosis reduction, as well as in lowering the levels of prostaglandins, fibronectin, cAMP and a number of other anti-inflammatory effects. There is also a hypothesis that HA can prevent the release of arachidonic acid, block nociceptors and reduce the bradykinin formation, as well as it has chondroprotective properties. At the same time, total joint replacement is considered optimal (which has proven itself to be an effective and safe type of surgery) during the OA progression, the preservation of severe pain and loss of joint function, and the inefficacy of conservative treatment. The authors draw attention to the most common complication that occurs during total joint replacement — contralateral limb pain, and explain the mechanisms of its progression. They also present their case follow-ups of patients after total joint replacement with the development of synovitis in the contralateral hip joint and synovitis in combination with ligamentitis in the contralateral knee joint. Besides, the article highlights the clinical picture patterns and the methods of reconstructive local injection therapy with HA. KEYWORDS: osteoarthritis, knee joint, hip joint, hyaluronic acid, total joint replacement, contralateral limb pain, intra-articular injection, periarticular injection.

The article discusses the pharmacological properties and results concerning the clinical use of a medicinal herbal preparation — hexane extract of Serenoa repens (HESr) (creeping palm fruit). In recent years, quite a lot of research data has been accumulated indicating a multicomponent mechanism of drug action. It has been found to have antiandrogenic, antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory effects in the tissues of the prostate gland (pancreas). Studies have been published describing a new mechanism of action of HESr — antineurogenic, the implementation of which helps to reduce infravesical obstruction, leads to inhibition of α1-adrenergic, thromboxane-induced and cholinergic contraction of the pancreatic and detrusor smooth muscles, and also inhibits the growth of pancreatic stromal cells. At present, there is evidence proving the highest clinical efficacy level of the HESr (data from several meta-analyses). The listed effects and patterns of HESr are illustrated by clinical examples of prescribing this drug to patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and benign pancreatic hyperplasia. The safety of use in conditions of polypragmasy in a comorbid patient, the possibility of long-term use without the adverse events occurrence and ensuring a higher life quality while maintaining full sexual function are also particularly noted.

Published: June 2024

After Covid-19 pandemic, online learning has become so important and urgent, while offline learning has become very much needed because of its role in shaping the character of students. This article aims to discuss opportunities and challenges in the implementation of online and offline learning in the Social Studies Teaching Material Development course. This research is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data collection techniques use data triangulation, namely data from interviews, observations and reflection sheets. The results show that online learning offers flexibility of time and place, accessibility to various digital learning resources, and the ability to document course materials more easily. However, the challenges faced include limited technology infrastructure, internet connectivity problems, and lack of face-to-face interaction that can reduce the quality of discussion and understanding of the material. On the other hand, offline learning provides more effective in-person interaction to build social and communication skills, as well as providing opportunities for hands-on practice. The main challenge in offline learning is the limited time and space, energy and costs incurred due to the distance between the learning space and the residence of students. The study concluded that a combination of these two methods, known as blended learning, can be an optimal solution to overcome the shortcomings of each method. The application of a blended learning model can increase the effectiveness and efficiency of learning in the Social Studies Teaching Material Development course by utilizing the advantages of both approaches. Therefore the result of this research are valuable insights for lecturers, students, and higher education managers in developing learning strategies that are adaptive and responsive to the challenges of the times.

Authors: Amit Kumar Kolhe  , Dr. Vijaylaxmi Biradar
Published: June 2024

Narrow-linewidth lasers that are widely tunable in the visible spectrum are crucial for various applications such as quantum optics, optical clocks, and atomic and molecular physics. However, current laser systems are typically bulky and confined to laboratory settings, limiting their practical use beyond research environments. In this study, we introduce a chip-scale visible laser platform capable of producing tunable and narrow-linewidth lasers spanning from near-ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths. By leveraging micrometer-scale silicon nitride resonators and off-the-shelf Fabry–Pérot laser diodes, we achieve significant coarse tuning capabilities of up to 12.5 nm, coupled with mode-hop-free fine tuning up to 33.9 GHz. Remarkably, our lasers exhibit intrinsic linewidths as low as a few kilohertz. Additionally, our platform demonstrates impressive fine-tuning speeds of up to 267 GHz per microsecond, alongside fiber-coupled powers reaching up to 10 mW and typical side-mode suppression ratios surpassing 35 dB. These remarkable specifications of our chip-scale lasers rival those previously attainable only with large, state-of-the-art benchtop laser systems. This breakthrough positions our lasers as powerful tools poised to drive the next generation of visible-light technologies, enabling practical applications in various fields beyond the confines of traditional laboratory setups.

Introduction : La greffe de cornée est une chirurgie qui consiste à remplacer une partie de la cornée malade d’un patient par une cornée saine, afin d’améliorer la vision ou de corriger des perforations oculaires. Avec l’avancée des études, des techniques de réanimation et de soutien vital, l’activité cérébrale est devenue le critère définissant la vie et la mort d’un individu, liant ainsi la mort à des critères neurologiques. Les soins aux patients en mort cérébrale, donneurs potentiels de cornée, se caractérisent par une activité complexe, mise en œuvre par l’équipe pluridisciplinaire travaillant dans une unité de soins intensifs pour adultes. Avec la systématisation des soins infirmiers sur le lieu de travail, l’infirmier assure que la qualité des soins sera permanente. Objectif : Application de la systématisation des soins infirmiers, selon la taxonomie de NANDA, chez un patient en état de mort cérébrale, pour la préservation de la cornée de ce donneur potentiel. Méthode : Il s’agit d’une Revue Intégrative de Littérature. Pour la collecte des données, trois étapes ont été utilisées : vérification des mots-clés, obtention de l’échantillon et synthèse des données. Résultats et discussion : 12 articles ont contribué positivement à la recherche, présentant des sujets tels que : Perte du donneur potentiel en raison du maintien des soins et nécessité de la systématisation des soins infirmiers ; Stratégie pour un diagnostic précoce de la mort cérébrale et l’Importance d’une commission pour le soutien aux soins. Après la lecture et l’identification, des catégories ont émergé dans la recherche, montrant de manière satisfaisante les conditions qui mettent en évidence les dons d’organes et de tissus. Conclusion : Il a été possible d’identifier l’absence de protocoles de systématisation des soins infirmiers dans l’Unité de Soins Intensifs, et comme conséquence la diminution des greffes de cornée, mise en évidence par l’absence de stratégies précoces pour le diagnostic de la mort cérébrale.
Anharmonic Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Crystalline Iron
Authors: Tien Tong Sy
Published: June 2024

The anharmonic thermal expansion (TE) coefficient of crystalline iron (Fe) has been calculated and analysed in the temperature-dependent. The thermodynamic parameters of the crystal lattice are derived from the influence of the thermal vibrations of all atoms. The calculation model is developed from the correlated Einstein model and quantum-statistical perturbation theory using the anharmonic effective potential. The obtained expression of the temperature-dependent TE coefficient of Fe is an explicit form. The numerical results of Fe agree well with those obtained from the experiments at various temperatures in the range from 0 K to 900 K. The obtained results show that the present model is efficient in investigating the TE coefficient of Fe.
Decorrelated Compounding in Ultrasound Images
Authors: Zhao Na
Published: June 2024

This dissertation introduces the decorrelated compounding methods in synthetic transmit aperture (STA) ultrasound imaging and the spatial frequency domain of beamformed ultrasound images. They improve the detectability of low-contrast lesions in terms of lesion signal-to-noise ratio (lSNR), and visual detection. First, a decorrelation procedure was applied to traditional spatial and frequency compounding in STA to improve the lSNR in this dissertation. The decorrelated compounding method shown a better performance of speckle reduction than the conventional incoherent compounding methods at the cost of spatial resolution loss. The overall effect in terms of lSNR, which considered both speckle reduction and spatial resolution loss, indicated that the DC in STA outperformed the Delay-and-Sum (DAS) method. Then, we proposed to apply a two dimensional low-pass filter in the aperture domain to suppress the artifacts caused by the off-axis signals of DC in STA. In clinical applications, strong off-axis signals can be encountered such as irregular borders, calcification or development of vascularity. Both simulation and experiment images demonstrate the effectiveness of the filter. Lastly, the principle of decorrelated compounding was extended beyond STA to the any radiofrequency ultrasound images. The spatial frequency spectrum of beamformed ultrasound images was divided into overlapped sub-domains to generate sub-images for decorrelation and compounding. This method improved lSNR over the DAS method. In addition, the computational complexity was reduced by a factor of 16 compared to DC in STA. This dissertation investigate these decorrelated compounding based methods with the goal of improving the detectability of low-contrast lesions.

Published: June 2024

This research assesses the direct and indirect impact of emotional intelligence, work-life balance, leadership, and work ethics on employee performance at the Camait office in Central Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra. Employing a quantitative analytic approach, the study sampled 146 workers, from which 88 employees were selected using the Slovin formula. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that emotional intelligence, work-life balance, leadership, and motivation directly, positively, and significantly impact employee performance. In contrast, work ethic does not significantly affect employee performance. Moreover, motivation is a moderating variable that can indirectly influence the relationships between work-life balance, leadership, work ethic, and employee performance. However, motivation alone cannot effectively moderate the relationship between work ethic and employee performance at the Central Tapanuli Regency Head Office. This study underscores the importance of enhancing emotional intelligence, achieving a better work-life balance, and cultivating effective leadership to boost employee performance. Furthermore, it highlights the crucial role of motivation as a moderating factor in improving overall job performance. However, it emphasizes that motivation should be complemented with other strategies to address work ethic issues effectively.

The museum of the military Fort of Chillon, opposite the Castle, is still little or not known. Directly located in the military fort, hidden in the rocky wall that borders the cantonal road, it combines an original museography, embellished with media, virtual reality and augmented reality, to immerse us in the military life of the fort, but also in the national and international strategic issues. We took our history didactics students there to experience the challenges of a field trip and to build didactic tracks. We here offer feedback on this experience.
Lebensgeschichten erzählen – ein Geschichtsprojekt für die Sekundarstufe I
Authors: Kaufmann Helen
Published: June 2024

This article presents one of the digital teaching and learning resources on the website «LEBENGESCHICHTEN – witnesses of genocides» and its trial with secondary school students. In a history project, students analysed video-testimonies of witnesses of the Shoah and other national-socialist crimes and produced their own short video-documentaries. The resources on «LEBENSGESCHICHTEN» are currently being developed by the University of Teacher Education Lucerne and partners from Switzerland, Germany and Austria and are part of the USC Shoah Foundations Website «IWitness». They are freely accessible for teachers and students: https://iwitness.usc.edu/sites/lebensgeschichten.

La Chine : un défi des Lumières techniciennes
Authors: Pautet Sébastien
Published: June 2024

A vast circulation of technical knowledge between China and Europe happened during the 18th century. While the circulation of knowledge is well known in the scientific field, it is still little studied in the technical field. Yet Chinese inventions « heritage » (printing, gunpowder, compass, etc.) has long been a received idea and the « transfer » of techniques has been the subject of many simplified accounts. The article analyzes to the complexity of the processes of knowledge circulation and highlights how the kingdom of France organized a huge accumulation of Chinese technical knowledge during the 18th century. It turned China into a central element of the « political technology » of the Enlightenment.
«Mutig, dass jemand widersprach». Eine Untersuchung zum historisch-moralischen Denken
Authors: Mathis Christian
Published: June 2024

This qualitative study uses a written questionnaire to examine secondary pupils’ first reactions to a text about an execution squad in World War 2. It turns out that only very few 9th graders explicitly consider the shooting of humans to be wrong. Only a small group of students addresses the victims while the vast majority typically take the perpetrator’s perspective. What is irritating is the moral judgment, reconstructed as typical, that no one should be forced to kill, without naming the killing in general as unjust.

Authors: Eschelmüller Anouk , Studer Dominic
Published: June 2024

Inspired by various projects currently dealing with the history of Switzerland and its role in a globally networked world characterized by colonialism, the project idea « Chur kolonial » was born. This was carried out as part of a project week in the spring semester at the Bündner Kantonsschule with the aim of working through some of the colonial entanglements of the city of Chur together with a group of students and making them accessible to the public in the form of an audio tour. What worked well? Where were the difficulties? This paper is intended to make the project concept accessible to other teachers. In addition, possible history didactic potentials of this project work will be presented.

Étudier les génocides, un outil pour comprendre et prévenir
Authors: Moisan Sabrina , Hirsch Sivane
Published: June 2024

This article reviews the main features and aims of the teaching guide « Studying Genocides », available free online. Targeting students at the end of secondary school (aged 16-17), this tool deals with nine genocides of the 20th century and aims to develop critical thinking and democratic, pluralist citizenship. The comparative approach proposed in the different teaching paths enables an under- standing of the genocidal process, racism, the different means of prevention and the issues of justice that still arise today. The material is also developed and treated as a sensitive theme, and is presented as a support for teachers, who remain free to make the necessary adaptations to their specific teaching context.

Jusqu’où peuvent-ils aller ? Élaboration d’un modèle de progression des apprentissages en lien avec la pensée historique
Authors: Duquette Catherine , Monney Nicole , Dufour Arianne , Pageau Laurie , Fontaine Sylvie
Published: June 2024

In the absence of a progression model for the cognitive dimensions of historical thinking (HT), our team conducted quantitative research with 918 Quebec students at the end of the various school cycles in which history is taught (grade 4, grade 6, secondary 2 and secondary 4). The aim of the project was to identify differences between groups of students in order to lay the foundations for a progression model. This article will take up the six second-order concepts proposed by Seixas to illustrate how these are deployed by students at different points in their schooling, and how this same information informs teaching practices.
Remettre les vaches à leur place Les animaux divagants, à l’ombre d’un marronnier corse
Authors: Garçon Lucile , Doré Antoine , Gisclard Marie , Trabucco Bastien
Published: June 2024

En Corse, si les animaux en liberté font partie du paysage, les bovins circulant en ville sont unanimement considérés comme n’étant pas à leur place et qualifiés de « divagants ». Cherchant à démêler les situations que recouvre le terme de « divagation », cet article met en perspective la manière dont les acteurs qualifient l’agentivité des animaux et la responsabilité des humains à leur égard. Il décrit ainsi la diversité des acteurs concernés, des manières de poser le problème et les difficultés à apporter des réponses. Il montre qu’en transgressant les frontières qui leur sont assignées ces animaux contribuent à requalifier l’activité d’élevage et les espaces qu’ils fréquentent, autant qu’ils sont le produit de leurs progressives transformations.
Le sanglier urbain, impossible cohabitation ? Les disservices et le désarroi bordelais
Authors: Marin Carole , Couderchet Laurent , Lemoigne Nicolas
Published: June 2024

Gibier prisé, le sanglier ne se cantonne plus aux espaces ruraux chassés qui lui sont assignés. Les politiques de nature en ville ont favorisé une continuité écologique depuis les espaces agroforestiers jusqu’au coeur des agglomérations et l’animal est entré dans la ville. Dans la métropole bordelaise, les représentations portées sur l’espèce et sur les disservices qui lui sont associés fondent les politiques de gestion de la grande faune. Quatre critères interdépendants définissent les conditions de la cohabitation : l’espace, le moment, le comportement animal et les densités de ses populations. Lorsque l’animal s’en écarte, il s’agit de rétablir l’ordre imaginé par et pour l’humain.
Représentations médiatiques et habitantes de la présence du sauvage en ville : le cas du sanglier
Authors: Chandelier Marie , Nikonoff Yann , Olivier Zoé , Goreau-Ponceaud Anthony , Lemoigne Nicolas
Published: June 2024

Espèce pourtant emblématique du sauvage, le sanglier (Sus scrofa) est de plus en plus associé aux zones anthropisées. Notre contribution propose une lecture multiscalaire des représentations associées à l’ongulé dans la ville. Nous nous appuyons pour cela sur un corpus d’articles de presse issus des quotidiens régionaux et nationaux Sud-Ouest et Le Monde, ainsi que sur des enquêtes menées au sein de l’agglomération de Périgueux. L’analyse apporte une compréhension de la complexité et de la pluralité de représentations sociales structurantes dans le contexte des conflits de coexistence humain/non-humain.
