A Meta-Analysis Comparing the Effectiveness of Uterine-Sparing Procedures versus Hysterectomy for Adenomyosis: Patient-Reported Outcomes and Fertility Preservation
Authors: Pradnyana I Wayan Agus Surya , Kadek Agus Wijaya
Published: November 2024

Background: Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological condition that can cause significant morbidity, including dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and pelvic pain. Hysterectomy has been the traditional treatment for adenomyosis, but uterine-sparing procedures (USPs) are increasingly being considered, especially for women who desire fertility preservation. This meta-analysis compared the effectiveness of USPs versus hysterectomy for adenomyosis, focusing on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and fertility preservation.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted for studies published between 2013 and 2024, comparing USPs (e.g., laparoscopic or hysteroscopic adenomyomectomy, uterine artery embolization) with hysterectomy for adenomyosis. Studies reporting PROs (dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, pelvic pain, quality of life) and fertility outcomes (pregnancy rate, live birth rate) were included. Random-effects models were used to pool data and assess heterogeneity.
Results: Six studies (n = 1248 patients) met the inclusion criteria. USPs were associated with significantly lower rates of major complications (odds ratio [OR] 0.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.23-0.54, p<0.0001) and shorter hospital stays (mean difference -2.73 days, 95% CI -3.29 to -2.17, p<0.0001) compared to hysterectomy. PROs, including dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and pelvic pain, significantly improved in both groups, with no significant difference between USPs and hysterectomy. Fertility preservation was significantly higher in the USP group (OR 3.9, 95% CI 3.02-5.03, p<0.0001).
Conclusion: USPs offer a safe and effective alternative to hysterectomy for adenomyosis, with comparable improvements in PROs and significantly higher rates of fertility preservation. This information can guide clinicians and patients in shared decision-making regarding the optimal treatment approach.

ANALYSIS OF THE SURFACE FORMS WITH A FRAMEWORK FROM THREE SUPERELLIPSES IN THE MAIN COORDINATE PLANES
Authors:   the Engineering Academy of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, Krivoshapko S.N.
Published: November 2024

Designers used rather often free form surfaces for the approximation of real products and bodies. These free form surfaces contain a given in advance main framework from several plane or space curves. Algebraical surfaces with given in advance main framework from three plane curves lying in the main coordinate planes are concerned with the particular place in technical design. A whole file of threes of surfaces of plane-and-parallel translation of superel-lipses of variable curvature of velaroidal type can be defined and described by the three algebraical equations if superellipses are taken as three plane curves of the main framework. Taking every of three superellipses by turns as a generatrix curve of variable curvature, one can design three different surfaces with the same main framework. First, it was elucidated that only one or two surfaces instead of three surfaces under appointed geometrical conditions one can construct for chosen exponents of powers in the formulae of superellipses of the main framework. It was shown that a three of surfaces contains surfaces of negative, zero, and positive gaussian curvatures in some appointed conditions, in particular, cylindroids, spheres, cones, cylinders, and surfaces of revolution.

Authors: Al-Hinai Abdulhamed , Varaprasad Karu , Kumar V. Vinod
Published: November 2024

The presence of blade surface cracks creates chances for vibration propagation that affects wind turbine performance. This study examines the effects of transverse cracks on the vibration levels and power output of wind turbine systems. Multiple regression models are developed as predictive tools to highlight the impact of transverse crack sizes and variations in rotational speed on vibration levels and power generation. Grey relational analysis is used as an optimisation technique to identify optimal settings for maximum power output and minimum vibration levels. By modelling and analysing these factors, the study reveals a significant correlation between increased crack size and elevated vibration levels, which can compromise structural integrity. Additionally, while higher rotational speeds initially boost power output, they also lead to exponential increases in vibration, exacerbating the risks associated with blade defects. The findings emphasise the critical need for a balanced approach in optimising turbine performance, introducing a novel approach to speed management and vibration control, which is employed in this study. The research suggests potential avenues for future exploration, including the development of advanced materials and design innovations aimed at mitigating these risks, enabling safer and more efficient turbine operation.

Published: November 2024

Field measurements of the frequency-dependent soil electrical properties at high frequencies (from 100 kHz up to several MHz) can be affected by unwanted electromagnetic effects. These effects can lead to significant errors in soil resistivity measurements. In this work the high-frequency effects are demonstrated. For this, the simulation model was developed based on the finite-difference time-domain method. Soil properties were calculated using the perpendicular dipole-dipole array. Different array dimensions, as well as uniform and multilayered soil models were considered. Simulation results are compared with those calculated analytically. It was shown that the electromagnetic effects increase with the depth of investigation and excitation frequency.

Published: November 2024

In this study, there pressure (15, 22.5, 30 MPa) and two temperature (45, 60°C) of ScCO2dewatering were tested on Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) strips. The aim was to research the effects of these conditions on the dewatering rate, moisture distribution, and shrinkage of bamboo. The results showed that: 1)The first cycle discharges the most water of all drying conditions. The most effective dewatering time consisted of a 15 min depressurization period and a 5 min discharge period. 2)The ScCO2 dewatering rate of bamboo strips decreased with decreasing MC, with a maximum decrease of 78%.The maximum and minimum dewatering rates were 37.04%/h and 4.41%/h, respectively. The dewatering rate was synergistically affected by temperature and pressure, which increased significantly with pressure at 45°C, but was minimized at 60°C at 22.5 MPa. 3)After dewatering, the moisture distribution in the bamboo strips shows a trend of higher moisture content(MC) in the middle and lower MC on both sides in the tangential and radial directions. 4)Most of the bamboo strips produced shrinkage after the 1st cycle of dewatering, and the overall shrinkage in the tangential direction was greater than that in the radial direction. The maximum tangential and radial shrinkage rations are 3.06% (22.5 MPa/45°C) and 0.94% (15 MPa/60°C), respectively.

Published: November 2024

Background: The role of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1/redox factor-1 (APE1/Ref-1) in adipose tissue remains poorly understood. This study investigates adipose tissue dysfunction in heterozygous APE1/Ref-1 deficiency (APE1/Ref-1+/-) mice, focusing on changes in adipocyte physiology, oxidative stress, adipokine regulation, and adipose tissue distribution.Methods: APE1/Ref-1 mRNA and protein levels in white adipose tissue (WAT) were measured in APE1/Ref-1+/- mice, compared to their wild-type (APE1/Ref-1+/+) controls. Oxidative stress was assessed by evaluating reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses were conducted to observe adipocyte size and macrophage infiltration of WAT. Adipokine expression was measured, and micro-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to quantify abdominal fat volumes.Results: APE1/Ref-1+/- mice exhibited significant reductions in APE1/Ref-1 mRNA and protein levels in WAT and liver tissue. These mice also showed elevated ROS levels, suggesting a regulatory role for APE1/Ref-1 in oxidative stress in WAT and liver. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses revealed hypertrophic adipocytes and macrophage infiltration in WAT, while Oil Red O staining demonstrated enhanced ectopic fat deposition in the liver of APE1/Ref-1+/- mice. These mice also displayed altered adipokine expression, with decreased adiponectin and increased leptin levels in the WAT, along with corresponding alterations in plasma levels. Despite no significant changes in overall body weight, microMRI assessments demonstrated a significant increase in visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat volumes in APE1/Ref-1+/- mice.Conclusion: APE1/Ref-1 is crucial in adipokine regulation and mitigating oxidative stress. These findings suggest its involvement in adipose tissue dysfunction, highlighting its potential impact on abdominal fat distribution and its implications for obesity and oxidative stress-related conditions.
Brown Fat and Metabolic Health: The Diverse Functions of Dietary Components
Authors: Brown Zachary , Yoneshiro Takeshi
Published: November 2024

Brown and beige adipocytes utilize a variety of substrates for cold-induced thermogenesis, contributing to the clearance of metabolites in circulation and, consequently, metabolic health. Food-derived compounds that exhibit agonistic activity at temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential channels may serve as cold mimics to elicit thermogenesis and substrate utilization in brown adipose tissue (BAT). In addition to fatty acids and glucose, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are essential amino acids obtained from foods, are actively catabolized in BAT through mitochondrial BCAA carrier (MBC). The relative contribution of BCAAs to fueling the tricarboxylic acid cycle as a substrate (i.e., anaplerosis) is estimated to be relatively small, yet BCAA catabolism in BAT exerts a critical role in systemic insulin sensitivity. The nature of this apparent tension remained unclear until the recent discovery that active BCAA catabolism in BAT through MBC is critical for the synthesis of metabolites such as glutathione, which is delivered to the liver to improve hepatic insulin sensitivity through redox homeostasis. Novel mechanistic insights into the control of BAT function and systemic metabolism reveal the therapeutic potential of food-derived compounds for improving metabolic flexibility and insulin sensitivity.

Published: November 2024

Effective reactive power management is critical for maintaining voltage stability, improving power factor, and optimizing the efficiency of power systems. This study explores the application of an Inter Phase Power Controller (IPPC) for enhanced reactive power management in electrical grids. The primary objective is to investigate the capability of the IPPC to control reactive power flow between phases, thereby stabilizing voltage levels and reducing power losses across the system. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of the IPPC as a flexible control mechanism that actively balances reactive power between phases, as opposed to conventional static devices like capacitors or reactors. The IPPC allows dynamic real-time adjustments, improving system reliability and minimizing the need for manual interventions. Additionally, it offers the potential for integration with renewable energy sources, enabling better handling of intermittent generation. The article findings demonstrate that using the IPPC significantly improves power factor correction and reduces voltage fluctuations in scenarios with varying loads. Simulations carried out in MATLAB/Simulink confirmed that IPPC integration leads to a reduction in system losses and enhances overall grid stability.
Evaluation of the Efficiency of Advanced Number Generators in Cryptographic Systems using a Comparative Approach
Authors: Gilbert Chris , Gilbert Mercy Abiola
Published: November 2024

This study explores the effectiveness and security impact of two pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs): the Fibonacci Random Number Generator (FRNG) and the Gaussian Random Number Generator (GRNG) in cryptographic systems. By applying statistical tests, the research aims to determine which of these generators provides a more robust level of randomness, thus boosting the security of cryptographic applications. The approach involves generating sequences of random integers using Java implementations of both FRNG and GRNG, followed by an analysis with the Chi-Square Test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test. Results show that the Gaussian PRNG produces numbers that align more consistently with a uniform distribution, while the Fibonacci PRNG shows notable irregularities. This points to the need for rigorous testing of RNGs to uphold security and reliability in cryptographic systems. The study’s outcomes carry important implications for choosing cryptographic algorithms, emphasizing the crucial role of high-quality RNGs in safeguarding data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity.

The times they are a-changin: what can researchED offer in 2024?
Authors: Anonymous
Published: November 2024

Initially launched in 2013, researchED claims to be a ‘grassroots’ organisation which disseminates the best educational research to classroom practitioners. During the last 10 years, it has played a pivotal role in cementing the ‘new science’ of educational research
as the primary route to educational effectiveness. ResearchED events are popular with practitioners, enabling the organisation to be an effective element in the Conservatives’ long-running project to remake compulsory education in England along instrumentalist and technicist lines. However,
recent events suggest that researched may struggle to offer solutions to the complex and interrelated problems that schools have faced since the Covid-19 pandemic. This article highlights researchED’s political significance, considers what the organisation offers today’s teachers,
and suggests the moment may be ripe for universities and other organisations involved in educational research to offer teachers something better.

Published: November 2024

Increasing interest in biopolymers moves their knowledge frontiers. One area undergoing this development is polysaccharides. The practical and theoretical significance of studying polysaccharides lies in the numerous essential functions these macromolecules fulfill in living organisms, and the important industrial and technological purposes they serve. Polysaccharides are thought to be abundant in marine microalgae; nevertheless, little is known about their sulfated polysaccharides. We studied Chaetoceros muelleri sulfated polysaccharide (CMSP) chain conformation, physical characteristics, and morphology. The CMSP spectrum generated from Fourier-transform infrared analysis displayed distinctive bands for these macromolecules. S=O and C–O–S signals were detected at 1225 and 820 cm−1, respectively, confirming the presence of sulfate in the molecules. The biopolymer registered weight-average molar mass, intrinsic viscosity ([η]), radius of gyration (RG), hydrodynamic radius (Rh), and sulfate degree of substitution of 1933 kDa, 577 mL/g, 62 nm, 44 nm, and 0.5 (sulfates per disaccharide repeat unit), respectively. The exponent α and the coefficient K in the Mark-Houwink-Sakurada (MHS) equation were 0.76 and 9.76 x 10−3 mL/g, respectively. These values suggest a flexible and compact random coil structure in CMSP. The sample's zeta potential (ζ), conductivity, and diffusion coefficient (D) were −26.43 mV, −2.07 µm cm/s V, 1.25 mS/cm, and 1.8 × 10−8 cm2/s, correspondingly. The negative charge in the molecules is related to the sulfate groups contained. The CMSP surface was coarse and craggy, according to scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The information generated in this present study contributes to elucidating characteristics as fundamental knowledge to understand the macromolecule functionality.
Resnet-1DCNN-REA bearing fault diagnosis method based on multi-source and multi-modal information fusion
Authors: Chen Xu , Chang Wenbing , Li Yongxiang , He Zhao , Ma Xiang , Zhou Shenghan
Published: November 2024

In order to address the issue of multi-information fusion, this paper proposed a method for bearing fault diagnosis based on multisource and multimodal information fusion. Existing bearing fault diagnosis methods mainly rely on single sensor information. Nevertheless, mechanical faults in bearings are intricate and subject to countless excitation disturbances, which poses a great challenge for accurate identification if only relying on feature extraction from single sensor input. In this paper, a multisource information fusion model based on auto-encoder was first established to achieve the fusion of multi-sensor signals. Based on the fused signals, multimodal feature extraction was realized by integrating image features and time-frequency statistical information. The one-dimensional vibration signals were converted into two-dimensional time-frequency images by continuous wavelet transform (CWT), and then they were fed into the Resnet network for fault diagnosis. At the same time, the time-frequency statistical features of the fused 1D signal were extracted from the integrated perspective of time and frequency domains and inputted into the improved 1D convolutional neural network model based on the residual block and attention mechanism (1DCNN-REA) model to realize fault diagnosis. Finally, the tree-structured parzen estimator (TPE) algorithm was utilized to realize the integration of two models in order to improve the diagnostic effect of a single model and obtain the final bearing fault diagnosis results. The proposed model was validated using real experimental data, and the results of the comparison and ablation experiments showed that compared with other models, the proposed model can precisely diagnosis the fault type with an accuracy rate of 98.93%.

An interactive linguistic atlas of Andalusian accents (ALIAA): methodology
Authors: Herrero de Haro Alfredo
Published: November 2024

El sexto volumen del ALEA (Atlas Lingüístico y Etnográfico de Andalucía) se publicó en 1973 pero los materiales se recogieron en los 1950; algunos estudios recientes contradicen las descripciones del ALEA, lo que sugiere que es necesario actualizarlo. Este artículo describe la metodología del ALIAA (Atlas Lingüístico Interactivo de los Acentos de Andalucía), un proyecto que pretende actualizar los datos del ALEA describiendo el acento de 500 municipios; los datos se están recogiendo principalmente en línea. El audio se analizará acústica y estadísticamente y los resultados se conectarán a un punto en un mapa interactivo; esto creará isoglosas que delimitarán fenómenos lingüísticos en un mapa interactivo. El ALIAA puede explicar la extensión de distintos fenómenos lingüísticos y cómo ha variado su extensión desde que se creara el ALEA. Este artículo presenta algunos resultados preliminares para demostrar que una metodología como la del ALIAA puede ayudarnos a desarrollar atlas lingüísticos de una manera más efectiva que métodos tradicionales.

Published: November 2024

La controversia sobre la consideración de los ítems-Likert medidos en escala ordinal o de intervalo dentro de los cuestionarios, así como la construcción de una escala-Likert mediante agregación de estos ítems, sigue enfrentando a los investigadores. Técnicas de análisis de datos multidimensionales como el análisis de correspondencias múltiples (ACM) y el análisis de componentes principales (ACP) obtienen estructuras dependiendo de la naturaleza de los datos, mientras que el análisis factorial múltiple dual (AFMD) permite construir configuraciones comparables para cada grupo de una muestra. En este trabajo, se estudian los diferentes estilos de aprendizaje (EA) mediante un cuestionario. El objetivo radica en mostrar configuraciones multidimensionales estables con estas técnicas, compartiendo una estructura común que relaciona los estilos colaborativo, dependiente y participativo. Se evidencia que estos estilos se contraponen al elusivo. Igualmente, se obtienen algunas diferencias multidimensionales por sexo, considerado como variable ilustrativa (ACM y ACP) y también de forma activa (AFMD).

This article presents an energy-efficient multiplex housing project proposed in response to a local affordable housing crisis among low-income urban neighborhoods in Chattanooga, TN, in the United States. The project adopted the systems thinking approach, which encouraged design students to think beyond individual components and consider the interconnections of various systems within and around the multiplex housing, including daylight analysis, market analysis, life cycle assessment, and energy performance evaluation. To respond to the local-specific housing market and climate conditions, the students from the multidiscipline collaboratively engaged in the design process to understand the project's environmental, social, and economic contexts and implement the passive design strategies into energy-efficient and affordable multiplex housing design to meet low-income families’ economic and social needs. The project site and design requirements were provided by a local nonprofit housing development organization that was a client of the project. This article highlights the significance of students’ systems thinking exercises in achieving energy-efficient affordable housing solutions in low-income urban neighborhoods through passive design strategies.
Quelle place pour les rivières dans la petite ville en changement ? Regards d’acteurs institutionnels sur les paysages de rivières urbaines en Maine-et-Loire
Authors: Imbert-Bossard Victor , Carcaud Nathalie , Beaujouan Véronique
Published: November 2024

Au-delà du célèbre fleuve Loire, le département du Maine-et-Loire est traversé par un dense réseau de cours d’eau au bord desquels un grand nombre de petites agglomérations urbaines se sont implantées. Au fil des siècles, ces petites villes fluviales ont été un support d’activités sur et autour des rivières, avant que la plupart ne s’éteignent à l’aube du xxie siècle. Dans cet article, nous questionnons, au regard de ces évolutions, la place donnée aux rivières au sein de quatre petites villes. Un échantillon de 26 entretiens réalisés auprès d’acteurs institutionnels des villes et des rivières sert de base à l’analyse des rapports entre fabrique de la ville et gestion des cours d’eau. Les résultats soulignent l’inégale prise en compte de la présence de rivière dans la réflexion sur la ville, mais aussi la difficulté pour les acteurs de ces deux ensembles thématiques à faire projet. Le contexte institutionnel, la sensibilisation des élus locaux et les enjeux spécifiques aux petites villes sont discutés comme facteurs d’influence des rapports villes-rivières au même titre que leur contexte hydrographique. Pour conclure, l’évolution des échelles de réflexion et de montage de projets autour des rivières est discutée.
Les pratiques paysagistes à l’épreuve du film de recherche
Authors: Pividori Chris
Published: November 2024

Ces dernières décennies, le paysage s’est imposé en France comme une alternative à une fabrique urbaine trop souvent enfermée dans des recettes fonctionnalistes. Les paysagistes se sont ainsi attaché·e·s à produire des espaces intégrant non seulement les spécificités écologiques, sociales et culturelles des territoires, mais aussi la dimension sensible du rapport des populations à leurs milieux de vie. À visée méthodologique, cet article interroge cette production à la lumière du film par et pour la recherche. La métropole bordelaise sert ici d’exemple, témoignant de l’intégration progressive du paysage et des pratiques paysagistes dans les politiques publiques, dans un contexte évolutif où les attentes sociales envers les paysagistes sont multiples et parfois contradictoires. Les premiers résultats soulignent la nécessité d’aller au-delà d’un récit de vie professionnelle, insuffisant à caractériser les éthiques pratiques et personnelles à l’œuvre. Il est proposé ici d’interroger la capacité d’écritures non académiques, le parcours commenté filmé et le film de recherche qui en est issu, d’offrir un accès privilégié de traduction et d’exposition de pratiques paysagistes et aux valeurs qui les sous-tendent.
La Mission romande et l’invention d’une littératie tsonga
Authors: Denogent Jehanne
Published: November 2024

L’ensemble de documents d’archives présentés dans cet article, tous liés aux activités de la Mission romande en Afrique, vise à mettre en lumière le rôle des missionnaires suisses dans la transcription de la langue et de l’« orature » (Ngugi 1998) tsongas au tournant du xxe siècle. Ils décrivent un double mouvement, du français au tsonga, et inversement, lié à la littératie et à la culture de l’imprimé. À partir de cet ensemble, il s’agira de réfléchir aux conditions matérielles de circulations textuelles.
Quand la République dîne chez le Roi-soleil : Versailles, lieu du pouvoir diplomatique contemporain
Authors: Oppermann Fabien
Published: November 2024

La République française a investi le château de Versailles comme lieu de pouvoir politique et diplomatique. Depuis 1870 jusqu’à la réception du roi d’Angleterre en 2023, les chefs d’État et de gouvernement en visite en France y sont reçus à dîner, dans une continuité symbolique de la nation française tout au long de son histoire. Les ressorts de ces réceptions souvent fastueuses, loin d’être anecdotiques, relèvent de la vision symbolique d’un dîner dans l’ancienne demeure des rois de France, avec la nécessaire adaptation du lieu patrimonial à son usage contemporain, dans une stratégie géopolitique qui évolue dans le temps et dans l’espace.
Las normas como funciones
Authors: Narváez Mora Maribel
Published: November 2024

Este artículo presenta un modelo de normas en el que estas son funciones. A partir de la metáfora de la dirección de ajuste y de la noción de solución máxima, se elabora un concepto de función normativa. Las normas así entendidas distribuirían corrección e incorrección sobre clases de acciones y omisiones. El modelo es normativo por lo que se configura siguiendo algunos principios de racionalidad. Se explican tres de las características del modelo de norma como función: el carácter innecesario de los condicionales para representar normas; la inexistencia de negaciones formales de normas; y la diferencia entre las nociones de bloqueo y antinomia. En el lenguaje de las normas como funciones, es posible hablar de consecuencias lógicas sin que existan relaciones lógicas entre funciones.
Les territoires en déprise, espaces privilégiés de l’accueil d’exilés ? Une analyse des dynamiques du dispositif Asile et intégration dans la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Authors: Roth Hélène , Lécuyer Joséphine , Arfaoui Rafik
Published: November 2024

Cet article porte sur l’hébergement des demandeurs d’asile dans la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes et questionne la part des espaces en déprise dans l’accueil de ces personnes. Il analyse la répartition du parc d’hébergement qui leur est dédié dans le cadre du dispositif national français Asile et intégration, à l’aide d’une base de données inédite fournie par la Direction régionale de l’économie, de l’emploi, du travail et des solidarités Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes en 2023. Cette étude est complétée par des entretiens semi-directifs avec des responsables de centre d’accueil. L’analyse à l’échelon fin de la commune permet de faire ressortir plusieurs points. D’une part, la dynamique de dispersion du parc Asile et intégration se poursuit entre 2017 et 2022, mais tend désormais à privilégier les agglomérations urbaines au détriment des espaces ruraux et les petites villes. D’autre part, on observe une tendance à un rééquilibrage territorial du parc d’hébergement des communes en déprise vers des communes plus dynamiques.
L'e-santé en France : déclinaisons et implications territoriales
Authors: Raynaud Joy
Published: November 2024

L’e-santé est synonyme de grandes promesses : améliorer l’accès, la qualité et l’efficience des soins. Observant un timide déploiement depuis les années 2000, l’e-santé, et plus précisément la télémédecine – un sous ensemble de l’e-santé –, s’est fortement répandue lors la crise de la Covid-19 conduisant les acteurs de santé à se coordonner et à proposer des innovations en matière de prise en charge des patients. Les professionnels de santé ont eu un recours massif à la téléconsultation, devenant ainsi une composante essentielle de l’offre de soins sur le territoire. Téléexpertises et télésurveillances ont également constitué des outils essentiels pour la gestion de crise. Ainsi l’e-santé interroge la place du territoire dans notre système de soins. La télémédecine facilite l’accès aux soins mais ne constitue pas une mesure pour compenser le déficit de médecins : l’ancrage territorial et la connaissance du tissu sanitaire et médico-social sont indispensables. Ces enjeux réaffirment l’importance de la gouvernance locale en santé qui s’appuie sur la responsabilité populationnelle et territoriale des professionnels de santé et sur leur capacité à se coordonner pour répondre aux besoins de santé de leur territoire.
L’apprentissage de Gaspard Godard auprès d’Esme de Boulonnois (1657)
Authors: Mathis Rémi
Published: November 2024

On sait très peu de choses d’Esme de Boulonnois – ce document inédit nous le présente sous la figure d’un professeur de gravure d’un jeune homme dont le nom n’avait jamais été cité jusqu’alors, Gaspard Godard. Ce contrat d’apprentissage de trois ans est remarquable par le fait que Boulonnois ne cherche même pas à être payé, mais juste logé par le père de l’apprenti.
Le portrait de Charite : transparence et opacité de la représentation (Sorel, Le Berger extravagant)
Authors: Leplatre Olivier
Published: November 2024

Dans Le Berger extravagant, Charles Sorel, dont l’intérêt s’est constamment porté sur les questions de représentation, expérimente un cas, particulièrement retors, d’opacification descriptive d’une image gravée. Il s’agit d’une illustration qui reproduit une image (le portrait de Charite, l’amante de Lysis, le berger extravagant) conçue et exécutée par un personnage de la fiction ; on la trouve associée, dans le livre, à de très nombreuses procédures descriptives, polymorphes voire contradictoires. Composé d’une image narrative, une image matérielle (une gravure), un réseau de descriptions, le dispositif pourrait être homogène. Or, la fiction intègre cet ensemble « iconotextuel » pour mieux mettre en tension et même en crise ses composants. De là, dans le texte, toute une série d’agencements et de remontages qui subvertissent la relation du descriptif et du figural dans le double but d’en critiquer les codes et d’en réinventer les possibles.
La genèse du catalogue raisonné de graveurs en France, d’Edme-François Gersaint (1744) à Charles-Antoine Jombert (1774)
Authors: Kaucher Greta
Published: November 2024

Comment s’est mis en place le catalogue raisonné de graveur au xviiie siècle et en particulier la pratique de Charles-Antoine Jombert ? Publiant les catalogues de Charles-Nicolas Cochin (1715-1790), Sébastien Leclerc (1637-1714) et Stephano Della Bella (1610-1664), non plus par ordre thématique mais par ordre chronologique, le libraire révolutionne la méthode et se place dans la perspective d’un historien de l’art. Cette entreprise éditoriale s’inscrit dans une lignée de catalogues qui l’ont précédé, à commencer par ceux d’Edme-François Gersaint (1694-1750), Pierre-Charles-Alexandre Helle (17..-1767), Jean-Baptiste Glomy (vers 1711-1786), Pieter Yver (1712-1787), Robert Hecquet (1694-1775), Antoine de Marcenay de Ghuy (1724-1811), ou encore Pierre-François Basan (1723-1797). Quelle est leur démarche individuelle, leur réflexion et leurs enjeux ? Que se joue-t-il durant ces quelques dizaines d’années et quelle signification apporter à la scène du collectionnisme de gravures en France au milieu du xviiie siècle ?
