Published: September 2024

Vasomotor symptoms are the most common problem during the menopausal period. This study investigated the effects of diaphragmatic breathing exercises on hot flashes in menopausal Turkish women during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The study was carried out as a randomized controlled trial with the participation of menopausal women aged 45-60 years in eastern Turkey. A total of 68 women formed two groups, 34 in each group. A Descriptive Characteristics Form and the Hot Flash-Related Daily Interference Scale were used to collect study data.The results of the study showed that the menopause period in most women was between one and five years. The participants stated that the COVID-19 pandemic period increased the frequency of their menopausal hot flashes to a statistically significant extent. While there was a statistically significant difference (p0.05).The diaphragmatic breathing exercises in this study were found to reduce hot flashes complaints during the menopausal period.

ABSTRACT
The number of new cases of COVID-19 variants increasing globally in recent weeks. There is a need to learn lessons from COVID-19 experiences and take new measures to better respond to new epidemics and the devastating effects of the disease. This study aimed to investigate the changes in nutritional habits of individuals with COVID-19 diagnosis in the Kayseri sample in Turkey. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 479 participants aged 18-65 years who had positive COVID-19 PCR tests. The data were collected online using the sociodemographic data form. Changes in nutritional characteristics of participants compared to the pre-pandemic period were recorded. The results showed that the rate of participants who increased paying attention to a healthy diet during the pandemic was 83.1%. They changed their food choices towards a healthier pattern supporting immunity. Eating regularly, using nutritional and herbal supplements, and eating at home increased compared to the pre-pandemic period (p

Bu çalışmadaki amacımız Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon bölümü öğrencilerinin sosyal medya kullanımını etkileyen alışkanlıkları, motivasyonları ve bunların öğrencilerin akademik başarılarına olan etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırmanın evrenini 321 Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak kişisel bilgi formu ve üniversite öğrencilerinin sosyal medya kullanım alışkanlıkları ve motivasyonları ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışma yaş ortalaması 20,44±2,57 yıl olan 256 (%79,8) kadın, 65 (%20,2) erkek toplam 321 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sosyal medya kullanım alışkanlıkları ve motivasyonlarının cinsiyete, sınıf düzeyine ve sosyal medya kullanım sıklığına göre değişmediği tespit edilmiştir (p>0,05). Sosyal medya kullanım alışkanlıkları ve motivasyonları ölçeği toplam puanı (r=-0,126, p= 0,046) ve sosyal etkileşim ve sosyal medya motivasyon alt ölçeği (r=-0,158, p= 0,017) ile genel not ortalaması arasında negatif yönlü düşük düzeyde ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmamızın sonuçlarına göre sosyal medya kullanımı akademik başarıyı olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Sosyal medya kullanım alışkanlıkları ve motivasyonları, cinsiyete, sınıf düzeyine ve kullanım sıklığına göre değişmemektedir. Sosyal medya kullanım süreleri göz önüne alındığında, sosyal medyanın akademik başarıyı etkilediği ve bu konuda gerekli önlemlerin alınması gerektiği düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca sosyal medyanın “ne kadar” kullanıldığı kadar, “niçin” ve “ne amaçla” kullanıldığının da sorgulanması gerekmektedir.

Background: MIND diet is a nutritional model that has positive effects on neurological diseases, cognitive function and mental health, as it contains nutrients with antioxidant properties. The MIND diet scale was developed to evaluate the diet's adherence with the MIND nutritional model principles. Objectives: This study aimed to adapt the MIND Diet Scale into Turkish and assess validity, reliability of the scale in the Turkish population. Method: Language adaptation of the scale was provided and the serving sizes in the scale items were adapted to our country. Then, the scale was applied to volunteer participants aged 18 and over. The data of 150 participants were analyzed. Content, concurrent validity and reliability of the scale was tested. Cronbach’s α (internal consistency) and test-retest reliability were used to assess the reliability. Results: The Cronbach's Alpha value of the 15-item MIND diet scale was 0.626 and the scale was found to have moderate reliability. Test and retest correlation also shows that the MIND diet scale is a reliable scale (r=0.591; p

Published: September 2024

Hamstring ve lumbal omurga esnekliğini artırmak için literatürde çeşitli materyaller ile self myofasyal gevşeme (SMG) uygulamaları yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı non-semptomatik kadınlarda manyetik ve sham top ile yapılan plantar SGM’nin hamstring ve lumbal omurga esnekliğine etkisini karşılaştırmak ve değerlendirmekti.
18-30 yaş arası toplam non-semptomatik 26 kadın manyetik fasya topu (MFT) grubu ve sham fasya topu (SFT) gruplarına rasgele şekilde dağıtıldı. Bireyler ve değerlendirici körlendi. Hamstring esneklikleri, otur-uzan testi ve gonyometrik ölçüm ile uygulama öncesinde ve sonrasında değerlendirildi. Bireyler oturma pozisyonunda dağıtıldıkları gruba göre 3 dk boyunca ayaklarının altında manyetik mantar top ya da sham mantar top çevirdi.
Gruplar fiziksel, demografik ve hamstring esnekliği açısından benzerdi (p>0.05). Uygulama sonrasında MFT grubunda otur-uzan test skorları ve sağ hamstring esnekliği artmış (p=0.005, p=0.041), sol hamstring esnekliğinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir değişim bulunmamıştır (p=0.625). SFT grubunda otur-uzan testi skorları (p=0.004) ve hamstring esnekliğinin her iki ekstremitede de arttığı bulunmuştur (p=0.028, p=0.025). Otur-uzan test skorları ve gonyometrik ölçümlerde gruplar arasında fark bulunmamıştır (p>0.05).
Non-semptomatik yetişkinlerde plantar fasya için mantar top ile SMG uygulamasının anlık olarak hamstring esnekliğini artırabilmektedir. Manyetik fasya topunun ise, hamstring ve esnekliğini artırmada sham fasya topuna göre bir üstünlüğü olmadığı belirlenmiştir.

Soylu Vahşı̇ Tutkusu: Juan José Saer’in “Kimsesiz” Romanını Üzerinden Bir Okuma
Authors: Sevindik Azem
Published: September 2024

Kültür kavramı üzerine sayısız tanımlamalar, anlamlandırmalar, yaklaşımlar yığını söz konusudur. Kültür tartışmaları, arkaik dönemlerin konusu olmaktan ziyade yazının icadı sonrasına ve daha da özelinde modern zamanlara özgü bir mesele olmuştur. Özellikle Aydınlanma Dönemi’yle başlayıp Sanayi Devrimi ile hız kazanan “kapsayıcı” kültür kavramını anlamlandırma süreci çeşitlenmiş, “yüksek kültür”, “köylü kültürü”, “şehir kültürü”, “halk kültürü”, “popüler kültür”, “kitle kültürü”, “alt kültür”, “üst kültür” gibi kavramlar tartışılmaya başlanmış, entelektüel zümrede kültürün çeşitli alanlarına yönelik pek çok mesele üzerine kafa yorulmuştur. Bu tartışmaların gölgesinde, sömürgeci kültürlerde, yeni keşfedilen topraklarda yaşayan yerliler “soylu-vahşi” olarak adlandırılmış ve yaşantılarındaki doğallık üzerinden yüceltici bir tutum doğmuştur. Avrupalı halklar göz önüne alındığında “yerliler”, kültürel gelişmişlik durumları itibariyle vahşi olarak görülüyor; diğer taraftan insani yapıları ve doğaya, hayvanlara, bitkilere, birbirlerine, öteki insanlara/kültürlere karşı tutumları itibariyle özlerinde bir soyluluk barındırdıkları kabul ediliyordu. Batılı aydınların bu çelişkili tutumu, zamanla bir tutku hâlini almış ve edebî eserlerde kendine yer bulmuştur. Bu çalışmada, kültürel bir mesele olarak “soylu vahşi”lik, Juan José Saer’in Kimsesiz romanı üzerinden yorumlanmıştır. Yazarın, bu eserinde “soylu vahşi”liği bilinçli olarak ele aldığı, eserini “kültürlülük-kültürsüzlük” meselesi üzerinden kurguladığı, romanın ana karakterinin deneyimleriyle “medeniler ve vahşiler” arasında karşılaştırmalar yaptığı anlaşılmıştır. Bu eserin çözümlenmesi ile Batı kültürünün “soylu-vahşi” olarak adlandırıldığı yerli kültürlere dair görüş ve tutumları bir edebî eser üzerinden açığa çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır.
Arapçadan Türkçeye Geçen Bazı Sözcüklerdeki Anlam Değişimi ve Kullanım Farklılığı
Authors: Akreş Hasan
Published: September 2024

Bütün diller yaşayan organizmalardır ve diğer organizmalar gibi sürekli değişirler ve etkileşime uğrayabilirler. Bu değişim bazen ses özelliklerinde bazen gramerde bazen de kelimenin kastedilen anlamında meydana gelir. Bir dilde fonolojik ve semantik değişikliklere neden olan temel faktör, yabancı dillerle yapılan kelime alışverişidir. Türk dili, diğer diller gibi geçmişte ve günümüzde yabancı toplumlarla yaşadığı ve yaşamaya devam ettiği kültürel etkileşim nedeniyle sürekli bir değişim hâlindedir. Dile farklı yabancı dillerden birçok yabancı terim ve kelime girmiştir. Türkler İslamiyet'i kabul ettikten sonra birçok Arapça kelime Türk diline girmeye başlamıştır. Türkler bu kelimeleri Arapça anlamlarında kullanmışlar, ancak zamanla bazıları anlam, bazıları gramer bazıları da ses ve kullanım özellikleri bakımından değişime uğramıştır. Bu çalışmayı benzer çalışmalardan farklı kılabilmek adına, Arapçadan Türkçeye geçtikten sonra şu veya bu şekilde anlam kaymasına uğramış, yani anlamları veya nasıl kullanıldıkları değişmiş kelimeleri, bugün kullanılmayan eski kelimeleri dikkate almadan, bugünkü Türkçeyi ve Arapçayı dikkate alarak incelenmesi ele alınmıştır. Bu değişikliklerini oranı ve nasıl kullanıldığını açıklamak için her bir kelimenin üzerinde durmaya ve analiz etmeye çalışılmıştır. Osmanlı döneminde kullanılan ve bugün kullanılmayan eski Arapça kelimelere değinmeden, ödünç alınan bu kelimelerin yeni kullanımlarını ve yeni anlamlarını bilebiliriz. Aynı durum, sözlüklerde bulunan ve şu anda yaygın kullanılmayan eski Arapça kelimeler için de geçerlidir.
Detecting Exoplanet Transits with the Next Generation of X-Ray Telescopes
Authors: Cilley Raven , King George W. , Corrales Lía
Published: September 2024

Detecting exoplanet transits at X-ray wavelengths would provide a window into the effects of high-energy irradiation on the upper atmospheres of planets. However, stars are relatively dim in the X-ray, making exoplanet transit detections difficult with current X-ray telescopes. To date, only one exoplanet (HD 189733 b) has an X-ray transit detection. In this study, we investigate the capability of future X-ray observatories to detect more exoplanet transits, focusing on both the NewAthena Wide Field Imager instrument and the proposed Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS), which provide more light-collecting power than current instruments. We examined all the transiting exoplanet systems in the NASA Exoplanet Archive and gathered X-ray flux measurements or estimates for each host star. We then predicted the stellar count rates for both AXIS and NewAthena and simulated light curves, using null-hypothesis testing to identify the top 15 transiting planets ranked by potential detection significance. We also evaluate transit detection probabilities when the apparent X-ray radius is enlarged due to atmospheric escape, finding that ≥five of these planetary systems may be detectable on the >4σ level in this scenario. Finally, we note that the assumed host star coronal temperature, which affects the shape of an X-ray transit, can also significantly affect our ability to detect the planet.

Modeling observations of the archetypal debris disk around β Pic, obtained in 2023 January with the MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrograph on board JWST, reveals significant differences compared with that obtained with the Infrared Spectrograph on board Spitzer. The bright 5–15 μm continuum excess modeled using a ∼600 K black body has disappeared. The previously prominent 18 and 23 μm crystalline forsterite emission features, arising from cold dust (∼100 K) in the Rayleigh limit, have disappeared and been replaced by very weak features arising from the hotter 500 K dust population. Finally, the shape of the 10 μm silicate feature has changed, consistent with a shift in the temperature of the warm dust population from ∼300 to ∼500 K and an increase in the crystalline fraction of the warm, silicate dust. Stellar radiation pressure may have blown both the hot and the cold crystalline dust particles observed in the Spitzer spectra out of the planetary system during the intervening 20 yr between the Spitzer and JWST observations. These results indicate that the β Pic system has a dynamic circumstellar environment, and that periods of enhanced collisions can create large clouds of dust that sweep through the planetary system.
The ALMA Legacy Survey of Class 0/I Disks in Corona australis, Aquila, chaMaeleon, oPhiuchus north, Ophiuchus, Serpens (CAMPOS). I. Evolution of Protostellar Disk Radii

Published: September 2024

We surveyed nearly all the embedded protostars in seven nearby clouds (Corona Australis, Aquila, Chamaeleon I and II, Ophiuchus North, Ophiuchus, Serpens) with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at 1.3 mm observations with a resolution of 0.″1. This survey detected 184 protostellar disks, 90 of which were observed at a resolution of 14–18 au, making it one of the most comprehensive high-resolution disk samples across various protostellar evolutionary stages to date. Our key findings include the detection of new annular substructures in two Class I and two flat-spectrum sources, while 21 embedded protostars exhibit distinct asymmetries or substructures in their disks. We find that protostellar disks have a substantially large variability in their radii across all evolutionary classes. In particular, the fraction of large disks with sizes above 60 au decreases as the protostar evolves from Class 0 to Class I. Compiling the literature data, we discovered an increasing trend of the gas disk radii to dust disk radii ratio (R
gas,Kep/R
mm) with increasing bolometric temperature (T
bol). Our results indicate that the dust and gas disk radii decouple during the early Class I stage. However, in the Class 0 stage, the dust and gas disk sizes are similar, which allows for a direct comparison between models and observational data at the earliest stages of protostellar evolution. We show that the distribution of radii in the 52 Class 0 disks in our sample is in high tension with various disk formation models, indicating that protostellar disk formation remains an unsolved question.

We present an overview and first results from the Spectroscopic Ultradeep Survey Probing Extragalactic Near-infrared Stellar Emission (SUSPENSE), executed with NIRSpec on JWST. The primary goal of the SUSPENSE program is to characterize the stellar, chemical, and kinematic properties of massive quiescent galaxies at cosmic noon. In a single deep NIRSpec/MSA configuration, we target 20 distant quiescent galaxy candidates (z = 1–3, H
AB ≤ 23), as well as 53 star-forming galaxies at z = 1–4. With 16 hr of integration and the G140M-F100LP dispersion-filter combination, we observe numerous Balmer and metal absorption lines for all quiescent candidates. We derive stellar masses (logM
*/M
⊙ ∼ 10.2–11.5) and detailed star formation histories (SFHs) and show that all 20 candidate quiescent galaxies indeed have quenched stellar populations. These galaxies show a variety of mass-weighted ages (0.8–3.3 Gyr) and star formation timescales (∼0.5–4 Gyr), and four out of 20 galaxies were already quiescent by z = 3. On average, the z > 1.75 [z < 1.75] galaxies formed 50% of their stellar mass before z = 4 [z = 3]. Furthermore, the typical SFHs of the galaxies in these two redshift bins (z
mean = 2.2 [1.3]) indicate that galaxies at higher redshift formed earlier and over shorter star formation timescales compared to lower redshifts. Although this evolution is naturally explained by the growth of the quiescent galaxy population over cosmic time, number density calculations imply that mergers and/or late-time star formation also contribute to the evolution. In future work, we will further unravel the early formation, quenching, and late-time evolution of these galaxies by extending this work with studies on their chemical abundances, resolved stellar populations, and kinematics.
Discovery of a new soft-bodied click-beetle genus from Namibia with a unique morphology leads to a modified diagnosis of Drilini (Coleoptera, Elateridae)
Authors: Kundrata Robin , Packova Gabriela
Published: September 2024

Drilini are soft-bodied predatory click beetles with incompletely metamorphosed females. Approximately 150 described species are distributed in the Afrotropical, Palaearctic and Oriental realms, with the highest diversity known from sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we describe Namibdrilus albertallenigen. et sp. nov. from Namibia which brings the total number of genera in Drilini to 16. The discovery of this unique taxon sheds new light on the diversity and evolution of the enigmatic paedomorphic beetle lineage and is interesting for several reasons. This new species is the only known representative of Drilini that has unidentate mandibles and lacks a hook on the dorsal part of the aedeagal median lobe, two of the few characters heretofore used for the unambiguous identification of members of this group. Furthermore, based on its morphology it belongs to a group of genera (Drilus clade) which heretofore contained only taxa from the Palaearctic Realm. We provide an updated diagnosis of the tribe Drilini, as well as an updated diagnosis and an identification key for the genera of the Drilus clade based on adult males. Further, we explain how to easily recognize adult Drilini from similar-looking soft-bodied elateroids like Elateridae: Omalisinae, Rhagophthalmidae, and Lampyridae: Ototretinae.
« Il va falloir renforcer et adapter le réseau électrique pour réussir la transition énergétique »
Authors: Houvenagel Olivier
Published: September 2024

RTE, le gestionnaire du réseau électrique à haute tension français, vient de publier une grande étude prospective autour de plusieurs scénarios de consommation et de production. Tous prévoient que la géographie de l’électricité sera profondément modifiée en 2050, avec une part plus importante d’ENR, une production qui variera selon la force du vent et l’ensoleillement et l’électrification des grands sites industriels. Il va falloir à la fois régénérer un réseau construit pour l’essentiel dans les années 1950-1970, le rendre résilient aux nouvelles conditions climatiques et raccorder les nouveaux sites de production (éolien en mer et terrestre, photovoltaïque) et de consommation.
Premiers résultats de l’évaluation des effets de l’élévation du niveau de la mer à échelle opérationnelle : le cas de la Communauté d’agglomération de l’Espace Sud de la Martinique (CAESM)
Authors: Saffache Pascal , Pélis Yoann
Published: September 2024

À l’image de nombreux territoires caribéens, la Martinique est soumise à quasiment tous les risques naturels majeurs : séismes, éruptions volcaniques, ouragans, inondations, etc. Cependant, il en est un, plus insidieux, qui grignote ses marges, accroît la vulnérabilité de ses populations côtières et met ainsi en péril une partie non négligeable de son potentiel économique : l’élévation du niveau de la mer et son corrolaire, l’intrusion marine. À travers l’exemple de la Communauté d’agglomération de l’Espace Sud de la Martinique, une évaluation cartographique de l’intrusion marine a été réalisée. Il ressort de cette étude que contrairement à ce qui avait été annoncé, la dynamique d’intrusion est plus importante que prévu et que le phénomène ne cesse de s’accentuer. Ces premiers résultats devraient inciter les décideurs à agir.
L’Écosse : du nationalisme pétrolier au nationalisme éolien ?
Authors: Bailoni Mark
Published: September 2024

À partir des années 1970, les nationalistes écossais ont construit leur projet indépendantiste sur les retombées potentielles des ressources pétrolières de la mer du Nord, qui sont gérées par l’État britannique. Alors qu’ils sont au pouvoir, ils entendent aujourd’hui promouvoir un développement massif des énergies renouvelables et faire de l’Écosse un modèle. Reste à savoir si la décarbonation annoncée de l’économie écossaise est possible, et comment doit s’insérer l’Écosse dans un système énergétique britannique administré par le gouvernement central. Cet article étudie ainsi la place des questions énergétiques dans le discours des nationalistes écossais, les enjeux qu’elles suscitent dans les rapports avec le gouvernement britannique et la politique des nationalistes au pouvoir en matière de transition énergétique.
Enjeux géopolitiques d’un aménagement hydraulique : le transfert d’eau Tage-Segura en Espagne
Authors: Salinas Palacios Darío
Published: September 2024

Cet article examine les enjeux du partage de l’eau en Espagne en se concentrant sur l’aménagement hydraulique du transfert Tage-Segura, dans un contexte marqué par des défis écologiques et climatiques croissants qui remettent en question le modèle hydro-socio-économique traditionnel. Il met en évidence les différentes représentations géopolitiques autour de la pénurie d’eau et l’évolution des rivalités de pouvoirs politiques et territoriaux entre le besoin de soutenir l’agriculture intensive et les impératifs de conservation des écosystèmes. Ces enjeux sont exacerbés par la montée en puissance des élites et des lobbies régionaux, les sécheresses récurrentes et l’application des directives européennes favorisant une gestion plus durable des ressources. L’équilibre des pouvoirs dans ces négociations est influencé par les dynamiques locales, l’intégration des politiques nationales et européennes, et par les stratégies adoptées pour aborder les défis socio-économiques et environnementaux.
The Saudi Arabia of Wind: Deregulation and the Rise of Wind Power in Texas
Authors: Stanford-McIntyre Sarah
Published: September 2024

Cet article retrace l’histoire de l’essor de l’industrie éolienne au Texas à travers l’étude de la construction du parc de Roscoe en 2010, dans l’ouest de cet Etat des Etats-Unis. Il s’appuie sur une documentation provenant d’agences locales, étatiques et fédérales ainsi que sur des archives pour affirmer que l’essor de l’énergie éolienne au Texas au début du 21e siècle est le produit de grandes tendances liées à la déréglementation à l’œuvre à partir des années 1970. Cette dernière a eu deux effets. Premièrement, les décisions politiques des États et du gouvernement fédéral ont affaibli les anciens monopoles des services publics. Deuxièmement, les conséquences économiques et sociales de la déréglementation ont incité les habitants à s’intéresser au vent. À l’échelle nationale, la déréglementation et la mondialisation ont représenté un changement radical par rapport aux modes antérieurs de gestion des infrastructures par la loi. Au Texas, ce changement a accéléré le déclin des communautés rurales et fragilisé un ressort du nationalisme aigu texan. Cela a transformé les communautés rurales en défenseuses inattendues de l’énergie éolienne. La montée en puissance de l’énergie éolienne au Texas suggère que la tendance mondiale à la déréglementation et à la privatisation post-1970 a produit des effets variés sur les individus, les communautés et la cohésion de l’État.
Le départ raté de l’énergie solaire en Afrique de l’Ouest, 1960-1987
Authors: Gecit Jean
Published: September 2024

Dès 1960, l’énergie solaire se développe dans un contexte d’innovations et de structuration de politiques scientifiques au Sénégal, au Mali et au Niger. Les crises du début des années 1970 amènent de nouveaux acteurs dans la région ainsi qu’une concurrence technique entre les énergies solaires thermodynamique et photovoltaïque. La dépendance à l’égard des produits étrangers incite les pays africains à œuvrer, au début des années 1980, en faveur d’un développement endogène et industriel du continent. Néanmoins, ces politiques sont mises à mal par des difficultés économiques qui rendent impossible l’industrialisation solaire des États et fragilisent un projet solaire régional qui ne résiste pas au contre-choc pétrolier.
Manual and Electrical Energies in the Visualisation of “Electrical Calcutta”, c.1890-1925
Authors: Chatterjee Animesh
Published: September 2024

Through examinations of domestic servants in electrical advertisements and writings this article looks at the imaginations and realities of visions of an “Electrical Calcutta” at the turn of the twentieth century. It argues that the diverse conceptions of an “Electrical Calcutta” were intimately linked to not just the technological and mechanical benefits of electrical technologies, but also the centrality of servants to societal notions of morality, class and social hierarchy, and cultures and discourses of human bodies, labour and energy within the domestic sphere.

Notre communication analyse le problème des besoins des salariés de l’industrie pétrolière roumaine de l’entre-deux-guerres. Trois moments sont au centre de l’attention: la période qui a suivi la Première Guerre mondiale, la crise économique des années 1929-1933 et l’étape ouverte par le déclenchement de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Nous présentons aussi des repères relatifs aux initiatives des sociétés pétrolières pour assurer le bien-être de leurs employés et des données concernant le nombre de travailleurs de cette industrie.
“Nothing can replace the Post”
Authors: Franke Christian
Published: September 2024

Cet article analyse l’attitude de l’Union postale universelle à l’égard du courrier électronique dans les années 1980. Il montre que l’Union, pour un certain nombre de raisons, a réagi avec réserve face à une nouvelle forme de communication, qui a ensuite eu un impact sur le courrier et a transformé les marchés mondiaux de la communication. La combinaison d’un manque d’incitation financière, de la structure institutionnelle des organisations internationales et de la prévision fondée sur l’expérience historique selon laquelle les innovations dans le domaine des télécommunications n’ont pas d’impact sérieux sur les services postaux, a été cruciale. Néanmoins, dix ans seulement après avoir déclaré avec assurance que « rien ne peut remplacer la poste » lors du Congrès postal mondial de Hambourg (1984), le Congrès de Séoul (1994) a clairement affirmé que « les services de courrier électronique sont d’une importance stratégique pour la poste ».

Les cotisations sociales se réduisent petit à petit en France depuis 1997. Depuis 2021, elles représentent 49 % du total des recettes des régimes de base de sécurité sociale. Pendant la crise sanitaire, les cotisations sociales se sont réduites de presque 5 %. Les impôts et taxes augmentent régulièrement pour financer la sécurité sociale.
Hommage à Jean Dubergé
Authors: Esclassan Marie-Christine
Published: September 2024

Jean Dubergé s’est toujours intéressé aux relations fiscales et a été un précurseur de ce que l’on appelle aujourd’hui la compliance fiscale. Il voyait dans l’autoritarisme fiscal et les lacunes de l’administration fiscale, notamment sur le plan du dialogue avec le contribuable, une source majeure de l’anxiété générée par l’impôt.

La prise en compte de l’environnement dans le budget et les comptes de l’État selon la Cour des comptes
Authors: Boullanger Hervé , Degron Robin
Published: September 2024

In 2023, the French Cour des Comptes published several reports on the State’s green public finances. Taking a strong stance on a subject of great importance for the effective implementation of the ecological transition, the High Court has taken a step back from the Finance Acts for 2020 to 2023 in order to take stock of the famous “green budget”. Placing the French approach in an international perspective, the Court underlines the value of this pioneering initiative. However, it points to the many limitations of a project with a limited scope, which for the moment remains focused on the central government alone. It calls for an improvement in extra-financial reporting within the public sector and its many public establishments.
Les finances sociales en Italie face à la Covid-19
Authors: Delledonne Giacomo
Published: September 2024

Cette brève contribution analyse l’impact de la pandémie de Covid-19 sur le système italien de finances sociales. En dépit de la fragilité du modèle italien, la crise pandémique a mis en évidence la résistance relative des outils déjà en place, dont le controversé revenu citoyen. Cependant, la crise peut aussi être interprétée comme une occasion ratée de repenser les finances sociales de façon systématique.

Le pilotage des politiques publiques locales : passer d’une logique d’extrapolation à une logique d’anticipation par le recours renouvelé à la prospective
Authors: Portal Éric , Hastings Antoinette
Published: September 2024

Dans la décennie 1990, le pilotage des politiques publiques locales tendait à être intégré dans la planification stratégique. Dans les décennies 2000 et 2010, les démarches locales de performance ont orienté progressivement le pilotage des politiques publiques locales vers la régulation budgétaire. Dans un contexte de multiplication des crises dans les années 2020, le pilotage des politiques publiques locales doit passer de l’extrapolation à l’anticipation par le recours renouvelé à la prospective.

Recent advancements in dentistry have introduced new light-curing units such as 1-second and 5-second LED curing lights to orthodontics. We aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength and Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) of stainless-steel orthodontic brackets cured with 1-second, and 5-second LED curing lights. Ninety human extracted upper premolars were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups - Group I and Group II. In Group I, the teeth were bonded with Standard pre-adjusted edgewise upper premolar brackets (Orthox, JJ Orthodontics) using Transbond XT and cured with Woodpecker iLED 1-second curing light. In Group II, the same brackets and composite were used to bond and light-cure with 5-seconds Woodpecker LED-D unit. The shear bond strength and the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) of brackets in both groups were evaluated. Student t-test was used for the statistical analysis of the data. In Group-I (1-second LED curing light), the shear bond strength was 6.62 MPa, whereas it was 10.32 MPa in group II (5-second LED curing light). A highly significant difference was observed in the shear bond strength between the groups. The ARI scores further revealed that the 5-second curing light resulted in a safer failure mode, with adhesive remaining mostly on the bracket. We found that the 5-second Woodpecker LED-D curing light demonstrated higher shear bond strength compared to the 1-second iLED curing light, although both sets of bond strength values are clinically acceptable.
Uber's impact on Asia Pacific industries: An examination of strategic initiatives and market dynamics
Authors: Tavor Tchai
Published: September 2024

We investigated the ramifications of Uber's announcements on stock markets within the Asia Pacific region,focusing on four critical sectors: Insurance,transportation and automobiles,technology,and travel and tourism. Utilizing data extracted from the crunchbase.com platform,the investigation spanned May 2019 to November 2023, encompassing 827 announcements across 15 countries in the region. Through analysis of the timing and content of Uber's announcements and consideration of regional nuances,this research offers nuanced insights into market responses. In the insurance sector,a discernible decline in cumulative abnormal returns before and after Uber's announcements suggested market anticipation of the challenges posed by Uber's disruptive business model. This prompted a reevaluation of traditional insurance practices within the region. Conversely,the transportation and automobile sector witnessed a notable increase in returns post-announcement, which is indicative of strategic adaptation to leverage opportunities presented by Uber's presence. This adaptation underscores the sector's readiness to capitalize on the evolving market dynamics influenced by Uber. Significant increases in cumulative abnormal returns within the technology sector indicate sustained investor confidence in Uber's technological innovations,highlighting the sector's recognition of Uber's transformative impact and its potential for growth opportunities. However,the travel and tourism sector exhibits a comparatively muted response to Uber's announcements, suggesting a limited immediate impact on the financial performance of companies within this sector in the Asia Pacific region.
An Improved Coevolutionary Algorithm for Constrained Multi-Objective Optimization Problems
Authors: Xie Shumin , Zhu Zhenjia , Wang Hui
Published: September 2024

Constrained multi-objective optimization problems are ubiquitous in engineering applications. In recent years, constrained multi-objective optimization algorithms based on the dual population coevolutionary framework have been widely studied due to their excellent performance. However, when facing optimization problems with complex constraints, the performance of existing algorithms still needs further improvement. This paper proposes an improved constrained multi-objective coevolutionary algorithm (iCMOCA). The algorithm mainly includes two populations: One population takes into account constraints, while the other population disregards them. Meanwhile, the iCMOCA employs effective collaboration between two populations during the process of offspring generation and environmental selection, and it utilizes an environmental selection strategy based on multi-objective to multi-objective decomposition to improve the performance. Comparative analysis conducted on the DAS-CMOP and MW test suites provides empirical evidence that iCMOCA outperforms five state-of-the-art algorithms.

Following the Covid-19 outbreak, stock markets crashed and recovered, and unemployment surged. Our objective was to uncover the effect of sentiments expressed on Twitter (now X) on economic indicators during this volatile period. Gupta et al.'s (2020) dataset included several indicators of sentiments for each of the 63 million coronavirus-related tweets during the health crisis. Stock market indices from Yahoo Finance and unemployment data from Mergent Online were gathered. We applied the LASSO (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) regression to examine the impact of sentiments on economic indicators. Both the Dow Jones and S&P 500 models showed sentiments that were strongly related while the unemployment rate model did not. Over time, even with sentiments expressing lessening joy and increasing anger and fear, the stock market gradually recovered. We present visualizations to depict how unemployment rate over the period was related to sentiments.
A two-stage location model covering COVID-19 sampling, transport and DNA diagnosis: design of a national scheme for infection control

Published: September 2024

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a system was established in China that required testing of all residents for COVID-19. It consisted of sampling stations, laboratories capable of carrying out DNA investigations and vehicles carrying out immediate transfer of all samples from the former to the latter. Using Beilin District, Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, China as example, we designed a genetic algorithm based on a two-stage location coverage model for the location of the sampling stations with regard to existing residencies as well as the transfer between the sampling stations and the laboratories. The aim was to estimate the minimum transportation costs between these units. In the first stage, the model considered demands for testing in residential areas, with the objective of minimizing the costs related to travel between residencies and sampling stations. In the second stage, this approach was extended to cover the location of the laboratories doing the DNAinvestigation, with the aim of minimizing the transportation costs between them and the sampling stations as well as the estimating the number of laboratories needed. Solutions were based on sampling stations and laboratories existing in 2022, with the results visualized by geographic information systems (GIS). The results show that the genetic algorithm designed in this paper had a better solution speed than the Gurobi algorithm. The convergence was better and the larger the network size, the more efficient the genetic algorithm solution time.
