Los límites del lenguaje filosófico y los saberes tradicionales de René Daumal
Authors: Dardón Juan M. , Daumal René
Published: November 2023

El presente texto es un prólogo a la traducción del ensayo de René Daumal “Los límites del lenguaje filosófico y los saberes tradicionales”. En la introducción se realiza una breve semblanza biográfica e intelectual del autor, y se recorren los tópicos recurrentes de su obra relacionados con el presente artículo. Daumal caracteriza el centro nodal de la Filosofía como “metafísica experimental”: disciplina que compromete integralmente todas las facultades humanas (especulación, sensación y praxis) y ante la cual un problema se hace insoslayable: o bien el lenguaje es un instrumento para su enseñanza y conservación, una guía, o bien opera como un sello que impide la experiencia filosófica. El autor compara dos modos de transmisión verbal del conocimiento que intentaron evitar “el riesgo de devenir un fin en sí”; se refiere a los diálogos filosóficos de la obra platónica y a las Upanishad. Esto desencadena en una indagación sobre la función del lenguaje para la religión védica.

Authors: Körner Gustavo Henrique Brocardo
Published: November 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é promover uma reflexão acerca da exigência de “não estar respondendo a inquérito policial ou a processo criminal” para a aquisição (posse) ou porte de uma arma de fogo (art. 4º, I, in fine, da Lei n. 10.826/2003) ser (in)compatível com o sistema constitucional pátrio. Logo, por intermédio do método dedutivo e da pesquisa bibliográfica complementar, será realizado um breve histórico-normativo sobre a aquisição (posse) e o porte das armas de fogo no Brasil, bem como serão conceituados os direitos fundamentais do Princípio da Presunção de Inocência e dever de Segurança Pública. Em seguida, será explicitada a Teoria dos Direitos Fundamentais de Robert Alexy e dado enfoque em sua técnica da ponderação. Ao final, será verificado que, sob a perspectiva desse autor, o dispositivo em comento não encontra consonância com a Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988 (CRFB/88) por submergir o Princípio da Presunção de Inocência.

ATTITUDES OF SECONDARY STUDENTS' GUARDIANS TOWARD PRIVATE TUITION
Authors: Premananda Sarkar  , Prof. Bijan Sarkar
Published: November 2023

Balanced development of various human qualities is possible only through proper education. Like various basic needs, education is now considered a basic need. Every parent wants to give high-quality education to their children, but due to professional reasons or lack of time parents fail to give proper guidance to their children. So nowadays parents are becoming dependent on private tuition to give proper education to their children. Secondary-level courses are long and difficult and therefore require consistent supervision. Parents are willing to give private tuition to their children to provide them with consistent guidance and extra support in their educational careers. The study aims to find out the differences in attitudes towards private tuition according to the educational qualifications of parents and to find out the nature of the attitude of guardians considering differing test items. A descriptive survey method was used in this study. The purposive sampling method was used for data collection. For data collection, 56 parents were selected from two districts. Only those parents selected as the sample, whose children study in secondary school. A self-made questionnaire was developed for data collection, and standardized by the expert. The scale was developed using Likerts method of summarization to assign a five-point rating to each item. The questionnaire used for data collection consisted of 47 items including positive and negative items. In this study, the percentage of opinions of the respondents on each item is shown by the graphical presentation. Finally, after analyzing the data it was found that parents have a positive attitude towards private tuition. Guardians with lower educational qualifications expressed more positive views on private tuition. So here it can be said that parents are largely dependent on private tuition for their childs education.

Dünya iqtisadiyyatındakı müasir tendensiyalar bir çox məsələlərdə yeni çağırışları ortaya qoydu və dünya ölkələrinin milli iqtisadiyyatlarının müxtəlif sahələrinin təkmilləşdirilməsinə və yeni istiqamətlərinin müəyyənləşdirilməsinə səbəb oldu. Qlobal iqtisadi problemlər kontekstində vacib bir məsələ hər bir ölkənin iqtisadiyyatının prioritet sahələrinin inkişafını sürətləndirmək və qlobal təhdidlərə daha adekvat müqavimət göstərən yeni iqtisadi mexanizmlərin inkişafı və dövriyyəyə buraxılmasıdır. Azərbaycan iqtisadiyyatı qlobal iqtisadi təhdidlər kontekstində ciddi problemlərlə üzləşir. Lakin son onilliyin dayanıqlı, balanslaşdırılmış iqtisadi siyasəti və iqtisadi islahatları, eləcə də müasir texnologiyalar əsasında iqtisadiyyatın müxtəlif sahələrinin inkişafı nəticəsində ölkəmizin iqtisadiyyatı qlobal təhlükələrə qarşı müqavimət göstərmişdir.
Müstəqillikdən sonra Azərbaycan öz iqtisadiyyatını liberal dəyərlərə əsaslanan sistemin sürətlə formalaşması yoluna qoydu. Zəngin təbii sərvətləri sayəsində ölkəyə xarici investisiyalar əsasən neft sektoruna yönəldilirdi.

İNNOVATİV TƏHSİL TEXNOLOGİYALARININ MÜTƏXƏSSİSLƏRİN HAZIRLANMASINDA ROLU
Authors: Əfşan Bayramova, Maya Kərimova Əfşan Bayramova, Maya Kərimova
Published: November 2023

Hal-hazırda cəmiyyətin sürətli inkişafı tədris prosesinin texnologiyaları və metodikalarında dəyişiklikləri zəruri edir. Təhsil müəssisələrinin məzunları müasirlik tendensiyalarına hazır olmalıdır. Tədris proseslərinə müasir metod və texnologiyaların tətbiq edilməsi informasiyanın effektiv mənimsənilməsinə imkan verir, tələbələrin idrak fəaliyyətini aktivləşdirir, onların yaradıcılıq potensialını inkişaf etdirir, bununla da tələbələrin hazırlıq keyfiyyətinin yüksəldir.
Məqalədə təhsil texnologiyalarına müxtəlif innovasiya yanaşmalarının analizi aparılmış və nəticələr çıxarılmışdır. İnnovasiya texnologiyalarının tətbiq edilməsi ilə tədris prosesində tələbələrin aktiv iştirakını, onların real şəraitlərdə biliklərinin tətbiq edilmə imkanını, informasiyanın yadda saxlanılmasına deyil, dərk edilməsini nəzərə alan tədrisin ümumiləşdirilmiş modelinin üstünlüyü göstərilmişdir.
Təhsildə innovasiya çox mübahisəli məsələdir. Təhsil nazirləri ilə söhbət edəndə tez bir zamanda belə bir təəssürat yaranır ki, ümumilikdə təhsil sistemləri yeniliklərə çox həvəssizdirlər və müəllimlər arasında dəyişikliklərə güclü müqavimət var. Təhsil bəzən ən mühafizəkar sosial sistemlərdən və dövlət siyasəti sahələrindən biri kimi qəbul edilir. Lakin müəllimlərlə söhbət insana əks fikir verir - çox məsləhətləşmədən və ya dəyişikliyin uğurla həyata keçirilməsi üçün zəruri ilkin şərtlər olmadan onlara həddən artıq çox dəyişikliklərin tətbiq edilməsi. Bəzi ölkələrdə innovativ dəyişiklik tələb olunan qayğı və səy göstərilmədən və ya müvafiq öncədən sınaq, təcrübə və qiymətləndirmə olmadan həyata keçirilib.
Bu mübahisə bizi faktlara baxmaqdan çəkindirməməlidir. Və faktlar aydın şəkildə göstərir ki, təhsil sistemləri çox ciddi problemlərlə üzləşir və bu problemlərə toxunulmazsa, bu, təkcə təhsilin özü üçün deyil, həm də gələcək iqtisadi artım, sosial tərəqqi və rifah üçün ciddi risklərlə nəticələnə bilər. 20-ci əsrin ortalarından bəri təhsil sistemləri çox genişləndi və insan əhalisi heç vaxt indiki qədər yüksək təhsil almamışdı. İnkişaf etməkdə olan iqtisadiyyatlar və inkişaf etməkdə olan ölkələr də təhsil sistemlərini genişləndirir, təhsili modernləşmənin və tərəqqinin əvəzsiz tərkib hissəsi kimi görürlər. Bununla belə, bir çox siyasətçilər rəqəmlərin davamlı genişlənməsini irəliyə doğru ən yaxşı yol hesab etsələr də, məlumatlara daha yaxından nəzər saldıqda bunun bizi çətinliklərə sürükləyə biləcəyi aşkar edilir.
Ali təhsilin inkişafına yeni yanaşmaların realizə olunması ənənəvi ali təhsil müəssisələrinin (ATM) innovasiya tipli ATM-ə transformasiyası istiqamətində baş verir. Təhsildə innovasiya texnologiyalarının tətbiqini araşdırmaqla bu transformasiyanın dinamikasının öyrənilməsi öz aktuallığını itirmir.

Lakin dəyişən texnologiya və innovasiyalara artan ehtiyac, ətraf mühitdə sürətli dəyişikliklər, ictimai tendensiyalar bu sahədə bir sıra qeyri-müəyyənliklərin yaranmasına səbəb olur ki, bu problemlərin həllində, bir çox alternativlər arasından ən yaxşı kadrların seçilməsi məsələlərinin çox meyarlı qərar qəbuletmə (MCDM – Multi-criterial Decision Making) ilə həyata keçirilməsi tövsiyyə olunur. Fikrimizcə, real dünya problemlərinə qeyri-səlis qərar qəbuletmə üsullarının tətbiq olunması kimi, kadr seçimi ilə bağlı qərarların qəbulunda da MCDM –nin tətbiq olunması çox aktualdır. Məqalədə, hər bir müəssisədə, kadr seçimi ilə bağlı düzgün qərarların qəbul olunması, insan resurslarının düzgün idarə edilməsi üçün yeni və hərtərəfli yanaşma təklif edilir.

Authors: Mahabbat Khudaverdieva Mahabbat Khudaverdieva
Published: November 2023

Distance measurement plays a fundamental role in contemporary technology, exerting a significant influence on applications across a myriad of sectors, ranging from autonomous navigation and industrial automation to robotics. Ultrasonic sensors, celebrated for their simplicity, cost-efficiency, and adaptability, have grown into essential instruments for gauging distances. Nevertheless, individual ultrasonic sensors are not exempt from constraints, which encompass inaccuracies stemming from environmental conditions, sensor noise, and measurement errors. This article delves into the advanced practice of data fusion, a method that entails amalgamating data from multiple ultrasonic sensors, bolstered by intricate algorithms like artificial intelligence (AI) and statistical techniques. The fusion of ultrasonic sensor data surpasses mere amalgamation; it harnesses the potency of AI to refine data integration. Consequently, this doesn't only enhance measurement precision but also equips systems to function dependably in dynamic and demanding environments. The article explores the importance of ultrasonic sensors, the necessity for data fusion, procedures for data preprocessing, the extraction of relevant features, the application of fusion algorithms, and the handling of uncertainties. It investigates the utilization of ultrasonic sensor data fusion in diverse domains such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, industrial automation, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. Moreover, it confronts issues associated with data quality, environmental variations, privacy concerns, and ethical deliberations. The article concludes by shedding light on the encouraging avenues that lie ahead in the field, which include the development of advanced algorithms, the seamless integration of different sensor types, real-time data processing, and a strong emphasis on safety-critical applications. Data fusion from ultrasonic sensors signifies an evolving and transformative technology with profound consequences for various sectors. The responsible advancement and deployment of this technology are of paramount importance to ensure the realization of its full potential, while maintaining the principles of safety, ethics, and reliability in a continuously evolving technological landscape.

Globalization, Trade, and Economic Development
Authors: Bernal Richard L.
Published: November 2023

Globalization, Trade, and Economic Development: The CARIFORUM-EU Economic Partnership Agreement is the most in-depth study of the economic partnership between the European Union and the fifteen Caribbean developing countries that make up CARIFORUM. The CARIFORUM-EU Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) is the first trade agreement of its kind, as it is a new type of WTO-compatible trade agreement between a group of developed countries and a group of developing countries. As a principal negotiator for CARIFORUM, Richard L. Bernal is uniquely qualified to provide a unique perspective on trade and economic development in the midst of globalization. In this book, he comprehensively explores the components of the EPA from all angles, explains how the agreement provides opportunities to strengthen and accelerate economic development, and outlines the policies which can allow the CARIFORUM countries to seize these opportunities. Bernal’s explanation of the institutional arrangements for the conduct of the negotiations by CARIFORUM is invaluable to governments and regional organizations in developing countries for coordinating groups to advance common and joint positions in international negotiations.

Guinea's Other Suns
Authors: Warner-Lewis Maureen
Published: November 2023

Guinea’s Other Suns is a classic collection of essays on the forced and voluntary migration to Trinidad of West and West-Central Africans during the 1800s, extending through both the slavery and post-emancipation eras. This second edition is a thematic expansion buttressed by historical documentary sources and painstaking linguistic research. Maureen Warner-Lewis examines African cultural practices and artefacts as recalled by the biological descendants of these migrants during interviews with the author in the 1960s and 1970s. The wars caused by ethnic and religious contestations, economic advantage and imperial expansionism are significant themes in the literary repertoire, but so too are themes of love, the yearning for home, pride in ethnic and family identity, the pain of exile, and the separation of death. Warner-Lewis explores the poetic techniques, musical genres and instrumentation, language patterns, athletic and masquerade traditions, economic arrangements, and religious beliefs and rituals of the Yoruba, Kongo, Angolan, Hausa and Rada (Dahomeyan) communities which this peasantry and urban labour force introduced or reinforced on the island. While some of these artefacts have withered away, or are now moribund, others continue to inform the still-evolving twenty-first-century cultural life of the island.
Carbon Stocks in 40-year Scots Pine Crops
Authors:   Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Klevtsov Denis N. , Tyukavina Olga N.
Published: November 2023

The paper presents an assessment of carbon stocks in components of above-ground phytomass of the tree layer of 40-year Scots pine crops (Pinus sylvestris L.) growing in different forest conditions of the Baltic-Belozersky taiga region of the European North of Russia. The studied pine crops were created on fresh, unsodded clearings with a low degree of litter in lichen, lingonberry and bilberry types of forest growth conditions, which are characterized by significant differences in bioproductive potential. It was found that the smallest carbon pool is formed in the stand of a 40-year pine stand of lichen-type culture-phytocenosis (16.59 t/ha), the largest – in the blueberry type of habitat conditions (69.41 t/ha). In artificially created 40-year lingonberry pine forest, carbon stocks in the above-ground phytomass of the tree layer have an intermediate position (44.40 t/ha). The highest relative value of bound carbon is reached in such component of aboveground phytomass as trunk wood. The share of carbon stocks in this fraction of the total aboveground phytomass of the forest stand of the studied pine cenoses varies from 59.5 % in lichen type of habitat conditions to 75.6 % in blueberry one. Branches and needles have close quantitative values of carbon stocks and similar structure of differentiation along the forest typological gradient, occupying a secondary position in the carbon pool of the forest stand of the studied artificial pine forests after stem wood. The proportion of carbon bound by these fractions of aboveground phytomass of the stand decreases from the least productive lichen pine forest to the more productive blueberry pine forest. The share of carbon accumulated by stem bark in the total carbon pool of aboveground phytomass of the stand of the studied artificial pine forests tends to decrease from lichen pine forest to blueberry pine forest. The fraction of dry branches has the smallest percentage of carbon stocks in the tree stand in all studied forest conditions (2.3–5.9 %). For citation: Klevtsov D.N., Tyukavina O.N.

The article reports the results of studies on the growth and development of curly birch sibs progeny (produced through controlled pollination) aged 35 and 15 years growing in the Zaonezhye forest seed orchard (sites 1 and 2, respectively) in south-eastern Karelia, Medvezhyegorsky District. The number of trees with signs of wood figure in the seed progeny of curly birch in site 1 was 67 % by the age of 20 years, and by the age of 35 years – almost 80 %. This can probably be attributed to the genetic characteristics of the parent (plus) trees on one hand and to the favorable conditions in the forest seed orchard during the first years of the sibs progeny development on the other. Four of the 36 hybrid families (selected to include forward- and backcrossing products) were used for the case study of the growth and development patterns in stands of different age. The sibs progeny of these hybrid families was dominated by high-stemmed plants, but the main trunk shape in the 15-year-old stand was one with necks and muffs, while in the 35-year-old stand – with small protuberances. The rate of height growth in the trees decreased notably with age, whereas radial (stem diameter) growth, on the contrary, accelerated. As the bark grew thicker, however, the formerly bulgy surface “smoothed down”. We have also identified specific features of the ground vegetation formed under the effect of curly birch plantations of different age (15- and 35 years old). A conclusion drawn from the study is that good results from targeted cultivation of curly birch with figured grain (e.g., for sliced veneer) can be achieved already by the age of 20–35 years. Furthermore, considering the number of trees and their origin, this forest seed orchard constitutes an essential part of the valuable gene pool of curly birch, which may turn into a source for expanded reproduction of the resources of this unique member of the European forest tree flora.

The paper investigates the natural regeneration of downed deadwood in the Janj primeval forest. The old-growth forest is located in the southwestern part of the Republic of Srpska, which is dominated by dolomite geological base on which cambial soils were formed. The climate is perhumid and mountainous and the plantation belongs to the Piceo-Abieti-Fagetum community. The hectare contains 517 live trees with a total basal area of 53.0 m2/ha and a volume of 876 m3/ha. Twenty six downed deadwoods classified into three different degrees of decay were included in the study, where fir and spruce seedlings were found to be predominant and beech seedlings were rarely represented. The first degree of decay includes 7 (26.9 %), the second 8 (30.7 %), and the third 11 (42.3 %). The total volume of deadwood is 110.82 m3/ha with an average volume per tree of 4.2 m3/ha. The total number of seedlings on fallen dead trees is 836 seedlings (Abies alba – 89.59 %, Picea abies – 10.17 %, Fagus silvatica – 0.24 %). Fir seedlings are found on 25 fallen trees, spruce on 18 fallen trees, and beech on 2 fallen trees. Regarding quality, on average fir seedlings are better than spruce seedlings, but both species show a lot of senescence and very small size of current height increment. Most seedlings belong to the third quality class (fir – 46.2 %, spruce – 61.1 %), followed by second class (fir – 34.6 %, spruce – 22.2 %) and third class (fir – 19.2 %, spruce – 16.7 %). The total number of seedlings was found to have a statistically significant difference in the amount of downed deadwood depending on the degree of decay, and the number of seedlings depended on the degree of tree decay. The number of seedlings increased with increasing volume and length of rotten trees. For citation: Govedar Z., Prokhorova N., Babić V., Dukić V., Kanjevac B., Bilić S.

Displasia Broncopulmonar: Revisão Narrativa Da Literatura
Authors: Moreira Carolina Alves Rosa , Guerra Priscilla
Published: November 2023

Introdução: A taxa de mortalidade entre os recém-nascidos de muito baixo peso tem diminuído devido aos avanços nos cuidados perinatais. No entanto, a displasia broncopulmonar (DBP) continua sendo uma das principais complicações da prematuridade, resultando em elevada morbidade e mortalidade.

Objetivo: Revisar a literatura buscando sintetizar os aspectos clínicos relacionados à DBP. Buscou-se identificar as definições, os principais fatores de risco, complicações e principalmente as novas estratégias de prevenção e tratamento.

Método: Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura utilizou artigos publicados entre 2000 e 2023, selecionados em banco de dados eletrônico e pesquisa manual.

Conclusões: O desenvolvimento da doença é resultado de interações entre fatores pré e pós-natais. A identificação precoce de crianças com maior risco de desenvolver a doença pode permitir uma abordagem melhor para a redução da sua incidência no futuro. O uso do corticoide sistêmico de forma precoce tem mostrado resultados positivos não só em interromper o ciclo de desenvolvimento DBP, mas também por contribuir para desmame precoce da oxigenioterapia. Já as demais terapias, como terapia molecular e células tronco, ainda precisam de novas pesquisas para identificar seu real impacto. Em suma, deve-se focar nas ações preventivas da DBP, incluindo o uso precoce dos corticoides, dando seguimento e proporcionando crescimento e desenvolvimento adequados à criança, além de combater infecções, diminuir hospitalizações e minimizar sequelas.

The author of the article has studied peculiarities of exercising the right to freely express own views by a judge in the context of establishing the authority of the judicial power in society, taking into account the provisions set forth in the Consultative Council of European Judges Opinion No. 25 dated from December 2, 2022 on the freedom of expression of judges. It has been determined that the right to free expression of own views is the right of a person to freely, without any influence, express own thoughts, judgments, beliefs in any form, which are formed on the basis of established knowledge, ideas, outlook and worldview about certain objects, phenomena, facts, etc., to assess them, in particular, to give support, criticism, characteristics.

It has been established that the Consultative Council of European Judges adheres to a broad view of the personal scope of the right to freedom of expression of judges as an individual right, noting that the institutional and state nature of the judge’s position gives an ambivalent nature to the freedom of expression of a judge. It has been argued that the ambivalent nature of the freedom of expression of a judge means the simultaneous coexistence of judge’s conflicting opinions, assessments, etc., as well as the obligation to find the necessary balance between private interests and the interests of society in ensuring the authority of the judicial power. The ambivalent nature of the freedom of expression of a judge determines the establishment of additional restrictions on exercising the right to freely express own views, in addition to the general restrictions established by the Constitution of Ukraine, the Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

The CJEU Opinion No. 25 (2022) on the freedom of expression of judges singles out the restrictions of freedom of expression of views / controversial cases in regard to statements related to litigation; statements regarding public debates; statements regarding matters of interest to the judicial power as an institution; public criticism of the judicial power / colleagues of judges; current political mandate / former political mandate.

It has been proved that the main criteria for imposing a legitimate restriction on the right to freedom of expression of views are rule of law and necessity in a democratic society. Such approaches are used by the European Court of Human Rights when hearing cases om violation of a judge’s right to free expression of own views, including in the context of a judge’s public criticism of legislative reforms related to the judicial power, or information on issues related to the judicial power, or criticism of judges who are colleagues.

Key words: judge’s right to freely express own views, judicial power, authority of the judicial power, restrictions of the constitutional right, ambivalent nature of the freedom to express own views by a judge, judicial ethics.

Published: November 2023

The Sea Aster mining bee Colletes halophilus Verhoeff, 1944 is known as an endemic of the western European coasts of the Atlantic and the North Sea. The species has specific habitat requirements and is
restricted to coastal habitats with populations of the Sea Aster (Tripolium pannonicum), its preferred host plant. Due to the late summer activity of adults and habitat specialisation, this solitary bee
species is easily overlooked. In 2019, C. halophilus was first found at the Baltic Sea coast of the island of Fyn (Denmark), 2020 on the island of Rügen (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany) and in 2021 in
Sehlendorf (Schleswig-Holstein, Germany), demonstrating that the species is far more widespread and also occurring along the more continental Western Baltic Sea coast and Kattegat. Targeted sampling in
2022 revealed that C. halophilus is now present in most of the potentially suitable coastal habitats in Schleswig-Holstein and at least in some parts of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. We here present data on
the currently known distribution of C. halophilus along the Baltic Sea coast of Denmark and Germany and discuss hypotheses of a potential recent range extension.
Biodiversity in the Late Middle Ages: Wild Birds in the Fourteenth-Century County of Holland
Authors: GOVAERTS SANDER
Published: November 2023

This article provides a preliminary overview of the species of wild birds that lived in the fourteenth-century County of Holland, now the Netherlands, on the basis of archaeological and historical sources. It argues that scholars should devote more attention to the Late Middle Ages (1300–1500) as a historical baseline for the study of biodiversity, and demonstrates the value of using medieval financial administration (accounts) as a source for such research. The article identifies 46 species of birds, most of which had substantial socio-economic value (birds of prey, wildfowl, herons and spoonbills). Because some bird populations were actively managed to secure a steady supply, it is possible to gain insight into historical population dynamics. This study can also serve as an example in designing similar research on other species and geographical regions.
FRAMEx. IV. Mechanical Feedback from the Active Galactic Nucleus in NGC 3079

Published: November 2023

Using the Very Long Baseline Array, we observed the active galactic nucleus (AGN) in NGC 3079 over a span of six months to test for variability in the two main parsec-scale radio components, A and B, which lie on either side of the AGN. We found evidence for positional differences in the positions of A and B over the six months consistent with the apparent motion of these components extrapolated from older archival data, finding that their projected rate of separation, (0.040 ± 0.003)c, has remained constant since ∼2004 when a slowdown concurrent with a dramatic brightening of source A occurred. This behavior is consistent with an interaction of source A with the interstellar medium (ISM), as has previously been suggested in the literature. We calculated the amount of mechanical feedback on the ISM for both the scenario in which A is an expulsion of material from the central engine and the scenario in which A is a shock front produced by a relativistic jet, the latter of which is favored by several lines of evidence we discuss. We find that the cumulative mechanical feedback on the ISM is between 2 × 1044 and 1 × 1048 erg for the expulsion scenario or between 3 × 1050 and 1 × 1052 erg for the jet scenario. Integrated over the volume-complete Fundamental Reference AGN Monitoring Experiment (FRAMEx) sample, our results imply that jet-mode mechanical feedback plays a negligible role in the energetics of AGNs in the local Universe.

Protostellar disks are an ubiquitous part of the star formation process and the future sites of planet formation. As part of the Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks large program, we present high angular resolution dust continuum (∼40 mas) and molecular line (∼150 mas) observations of the Class 0 protostar IRAS 15398–3359. The dust continuum is small, compact, and centrally peaked, while more extended dust structures are found in the outflow directions. We perform a 2D Gaussian fitting and find the deconvolved size and 2σ radius of the dust disk to be 4.5 × 2.8 au and 3.8 au, respectively. We estimate the gas+dust disk mass assuming optically thin continuum emission to be 0.6M
J–1.8M
J, indicating a very low mass disk. The CO isotopologues trace components of the outflows and inner envelope, while SO traces a compact, rotating disk-like component. Using several rotation curve fittings on the position–velocity diagram of the SO emission, the lower limits of the protostellar mass and gas disk radius are 0.022 M
⊙ and 31.2 au, respectively, from our Modified 2 single power-law fitting. A conservative upper limit of the protostellar mass is inferred to be 0.1 M
⊙. The protostellar mass accretion rate and the specific angular momentum at the protostellar disk edge are found to be in the range of (1.3–6.1) × 10−6
M
⊙ yr−1 and (1.2–3.8) × 10−4 km s−1 pc, respectively, with an age estimated between 0.4 × 104 yr and 7.5 × 104 yr. At this young age with no clear substructures in the disk, planet formation would likely not yet have started. This study highlights the importance of high-resolution observations and systematic fitting procedures when deriving dynamical properties of deeply embedded Class 0 protostars.
L’Église catholique dans le jeu politique en République démocratique du Congo
Authors: Ndaywel è Nziem Isidore
Published: November 2023

L’Église catholique occupe une place importante dans la vie politique et sociale du Congo. Cela tient à la fois à l’ancienneté de son implantation, à sa grande expansion dans le pays et à son appropriation par la culture locale dans la vie quotidienne des habitants. On sait qu’elle a joué un rôle majeur dans la colonisation du pays, comme l’une des composantes de la « trinité coloniale ». Mais les difficultés par lesquelles elle est passée pendant les premières décennies de la décolonisation l’ont rapprochée davantage du peuple, particulièrement grâce à ses œuvres sociales multiples et diversifiées. Son implication politique l’amène, de nos jours, à apporter une contribution majeure dans le combat pour la démocratie et l’État de droit.
Les marques alimentaires face au défi de l’informel
Authors: Elhassouni Soumaya
Published: November 2023

Cette recherche vise à explorer les facteurs expliquant le recours, par les consommateurs marocains, au secteur informel pour l’achat des produits alimentaires que l’on désigne à travers le vocable beldi . Le terrain de l’étude porte sur le marché de l’huile d’olive. La recherche est menée suivant une démarche interprétative des données recueillies à travers quatre réunions de groupe. L’analyse de contenu a permis l’identification de facteurs socioculturels susceptibles d’être à la base des motivations d’achat de ces produits dans un tel circuit. Les contributions de la recherche sont notées à deux niveaux. D’abord, le secteur informel est un canal de vente des produits beldi positivement perçu par les acheteurs. Ensuite, l’environnement socioculturel portant le secteur informel est garant de la qualité perçue des produits et explique le choix des consommateurs. Le papier conclut par l’impératif d’adaptation à cette particularité du marché notamment au niveau du positionnement des marques et par la proposition de pistes de recherche permettant d’affiner la compréhension de ce phénomène.
From Co-Developing Norms to Providing Them
Authors: Perry Ayanna D. , Lin Joyce
Published: November 2023

It is a common perspective that new communities should co-construct norms, in the beginning, in service of community building and increasing buy-in. While these are potential outcomes for certain groups, the authors' work in cultivating learning communities of early career high school math and science teachers at the Knowles Teacher Initiative has demonstrated that asking new communities to co-construct norms in the beginning can be challenging and problematic as it can often serve to reinforce problematic interactions and expectations in a learning community whose members, and their ways of learning, are varied and diverse. The authors' current perspective is that norms should be given to a newly formed community to better advocate for all of its members' needs and to advance the learning of the whole community. This chapter describes the challenges and assumptions that new communities encountered when asked to construct their own norms; considers the role of identity, power, and culture in norm construction; and presents the three norms that are now offered to new communities.
