Brazil and the Necessary Reindustrialization: Elements of Political Economy in a Dependent Country
Authors:   Brazilian Institute for Contemporary Studies, State University of São Paulo (UNESP), Lima Filho Paulo Alves , Castro Fabio Sousa Mendonça ,   Brazilian Institute for Contemporary Studies, State University of São Paulo (UNESP)
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the imperative of reindustrialization in Brazil, a nation significantly impacted by deindustrialization since the 1990s. The study critiques the neoliberal policies that have dismantled Brazil’s manufacturing sector and exacerbated dependence on global financial capital, resulting in diminished national economic control and heightened socio-economic inequalities. The authors argue that effective reindustrialization in Brazil requires alignment with the technological advancements of the microelectronic revolution, which has redefined industrial production processes and intensified labor exploitation. The paper emphasizes that Brazil’s historical and current socio-economic structures, rooted in colonialism and primary commodity exportation, constrain its ability to fully leverage its productive potential. The analysis also critiques the contemporary political landscape, including the influence of U.S. imperialism on Brazilian policy and the rise of far-right politics. By examining these dynamics, the authors propose that Brazil’s path to reindustrialization is fraught with challenges, including brain drain and structural inequalities, and is further complicated by global and domestic political pressures. The study underscores the necessity for a transformative approach to overcome these barriers and suggests that Brazil’s future economic and political trajectories will hinge on its ability to address these deep-seated issues.
Superficial Myofibroblastoma of the Vulva in an Adolescent; A Case Report
Authors: Adenaya Olaide , Odelola Oluwaseyi , Ojo Oluwole , Ade-Onojobi Adedoyin , Grillo Elizabeth , Aderinwale Oluseyi
Published: January 2025

Background: Superficial myofibroblastoma (SMF) of the lower genital tract is a rare benign mesenchymal tumour first reported in English Literature in 2001 as “superficial cervicovaginal myofibroblastoma” It was formerly believed to occur exclusively in the cervix and the vagina but the name “superficial myofibroblastoma of the lower genital tract” was proposed after it was also described in the vulva. It is more common among the perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
Case Presentation: The index report was a case of a 15-year-old secondary school student who presented in our facility with a painless vulva swelling of about 11 months duration. Examination of the vulva showed a firm non-tender mass at the mucocutaneous junction of the left labia at 2-5 O’clock position, involving the left labial majora. The hymen was intact. She had an excisional biopsy of the mass and histological findings were conclusive of Myofibroblastoma.
Discussion: It was the first case to be reported in an adolescent and the first to be reported in Nigerian or African literature.
Conclusion: Differential diagnosis abound and there is a need for closer attention to tumours of the lower genital tract to enhance its prompt diagnosis.

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise detalhada dos sinistros ocorridos em rodovias federais brasileiras nos anos de 2020 e 2021, registrados pela Polícia Rodoviária Federal (PRF), segmentados por marca, ano de fabricação e modelo, como forma de estabelecer um critério de severidade a partir destas características. Para atenuar possíveis impactos relacionados aos diferentes volumes de venda de cada modelo, em diferentes anos, esses números são reapresentados na forma de rateio para cada 100 mil veículos licenciados. Outro fator analisado e inserido consiste na diferença de quilometragem rodada por cada modelo e por ano de fabricação, o que resultou na criação de um “fator de ajuste” por marca, ano e modelo. Partiu-se de dados reais de mercado, obtidos por informações de veículos anunciados e comercializados em todo o país, bem como consolidação de dados relacionados à revisão de veículos novos e seminovos em oficinas das redes autorizadas – o que já se mostra um parâmetro inédito em estudos publicados. É relevante, porém, ressaltar que: ao conjugar a severidade, rateada por 100 mil veículos licenciados, ajustadas à quilometragem média rodada, por marca, ano e modelo, gerou-se uma nova metodologia de ratificação ou retificação dos indicadores dos crash tests. Com isso, este estudo torna-se um trabalho robusto em argumentação sobre a evolução da tecnologia de segurança ativa e passiva nos novos modelos comercializados no Brasil e, ainda mais importante, sobre a efetividade, eficiência e eficácia dos incentivos fiscais e subsídios concedidos às montadoras pelo governo do Brasil.

Ubuntu as a Dramaturgical Tool for Building Community in Protests
Authors: Lepere Refiloe , Radebe Tebogo
Published: January 2025

In this paper, ubuntu is proposed as a dramaturgical lens for analysing social phenomena, particularly focusing on the 2015 Wits Student Protest (#FeesMustFall). The purpose of this study was to explore how ubuntu, as an epistemological and dramaturgical tool, can deepen the understanding of protest and community dynamics through performance. Methodologically, dramaturgy of everyday life framework is used to analyse the songs sung during the #FeesMustFall protest, emphasising their role in shaping political agency and fostering community. Songs analysed are “Jikijela” by Letta Mbulu, along with its reworked version by Thandiswa Mazwai, the decolonised “Nkosi Sikelela iAfrika,” and the title song from Mbongeni Ngema’s play Asinamali. The findings suggest that ubuntu provides an alternative epistemic lens, challenging traditional views of protest as primarily destructive. Instead, through shared performance and song, ubuntu fosters collective identity and democratic participation. The argument posited is that embodiment of ubuntu during protests creates space for community negotiation and self-actualisation, redefining the narrative of democratic agency in protest. This study contributes to scholarship by offering a new framework for understanding the role of songs in protests as dramaturgical tools that create roles, scripts, and shared experiences. Ubuntu as a dramaturgical lens expands the possibilities for analysing social movements and highlights the transformative power of performance in building communities.

Pound’s Ibn Rushd (Averroes)
Authors: Ardizzone Maria Luisa
Published: January 2025

Chapter 2 covers Ezra Pound’s interests in the Spanish Arab philosopher Averroes, the early Spanish troubadours, and the playwright Lope de Vega, as well as his critique of the Spanish Baroque period. Maria Luisa Ardizzone traces the thought in Pound’s work of Ibn Rushd, or Averroes (1126–98). She argues that Pound’s reading of Cavalcanti’s Donna me prega resulted from years of study, including of Arabic authors such as Avicenna. His knowledge of Averroes, however, appears mediated, given that it is based on the French text, Averroes et l’averroisme: essai historique (1925), by Ernest Renan, a pioneering study of Averroism crucial not only to Pound’s understanding of Cavalcanti but to his perspective on a medieval tradition different from that of Thomas Aquinas. Pound’s reading of Renan’s Averroes, concludes Ardizzone, aligns with the “logic weaving” he develops in the language of The Cantos, specifically in Rock-Drill.
The Congruence of Lope de Vega’s Plays and Noh in The Pisan Cantos
Authors: Kita Yoshiko
Published: January 2025

This chapter compares literary strategies Ezra Pound learned early on from classic Spanish drama, especially the works of Lope de Vega, to those he discovered later in Japanese Noh drama. Discussing the relationship between Pound and Noh, Yoshiko Kita points out how, in 1913, when Pound first obtained from Ernest Fenollosa’s widow a draft of a Noh translation, he compared it with Lope’s work. Critics have demonstrated how Noh played a vital role in shaping The Cantos. However, given that Pound composed much of The Pisan Cantos during his imprisonment in Pisa in 1945, critical discussions focus on their elegiac element in relation to Noh, with little mention made of the discrepancy between the elegiac allusion to Hagoromo (in Canto 80) and the comic implications of Pound’s allusion to Irish playwright John Synge (in Canto 77). This kind of gap, for Kita, exemplifies a distinctive quality of Pound’s poetry, namely, his interest in the multiplicity of the individual, rather than in an all-encompassing tragic consummation.
Discovering the Mediterranean Sanity
Authors: Bacigalupo Massimo
Published: January 2025

This chapter explores how Ezra Pound and Ernest Hemingway discovered in both Spain and Italy a world in which nature and culture coalesce. Reflecting on a range of works by both writers after a lifetime of reading them, Massimo Bacigalupo contends that, with similar enthusiasm, they both celebrate the Mediterranean world in their writings as an object lesson for modern readers. The simple, intense life of Italian and Spanish folk (the bullfight, the summer fiestas) convinced both writers that it was not too late for twentieth-century people to participate in a genuine contemplation of life and death. To be sure, their love for their adoptive countries led them to opposite political allegiances since Republican Spain and Fascist Italy took opposite sides during the Spanish Civil War. Yet their attitudes as discoverers and proponents of an old and new way of life remained closely aligned throughout their lives. Behind their view of the modern Mediterranean, concludes Bacigalupo, both were reacting against their strait-laced education and what they considered American provincialism, commercialism, and hypocrisy, especially in matters of sex and religion.
Pound’s Amulet in Roberto Bolaño’s Novels
Authors: Perale Emanuele Zoppellari
Published: January 2025

This chapter traces Ezra Pound’s formidable influence on the work of Chilean author Roberto Bolaño (1953–2003), who discusses both Pound and his poems in his chief works, including Amuleto [Amulet], Los detectives salvajes [Savage Detectives], and Nocturno de Chile [By Night in Chile]. Emanuele Zoppellari Perale argues for Pound’s prominence for Bolaño not merely as a source of inspiration or as a literary model, but as the paragon of a poetic existence, i.e., that of the exiled poet, a pivotal element in the Chilean author’s own writing, as he suffered from comparable circumstances. The modernist influence on Bolaño’s writing is most evident in his formal and narrative choices, informed by traits shared, not coincidentally, with The Cantos. Zoppellari demonstrates how Pound’s importance for Bolaño as a privileged point of reference is indisputable, especially concerning what it means to be a poet—a modern poet—in exile, yet despite exile.
Introduction
Authors: Falk Jane , Carden Mary Paniccia
Published: January 2025

In their introduction, editors Jane Falk and Mary Paniccia Carden provide an overview of Joanne Kyger’s life, career, and significance as a poet, situating her work within the context of the Beat Generation and other important literary movements of the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries, including the San Francisco Renaissance and the Bolinas School. The Introduction expands on previous critical attention to Kyger, investigating ecopoetic, transnational, and gendered aspects of her poetics. In their discussion of Kyger’s poetic practice and her integration of journal as genre, the editors introduce the concepts of place and time as more than literal space and chronology but as hallmarks of her poetry of the everyday—a poetry profoundly attentive to breath, spontaneity, and the improvisational rhythms of daily speech.
Again as Ecodharma
Authors: Skinner Jonathan
Published: January 2025

Jonathan Skinner’s essay concentrates on Kyger’s writing from the 1980s and 1990s and its reflection of and connection with Buddhism as it relates to concepts of ecopoetics, ecocritical studies of poetry of place, and ecodharma, use of Buddhist teachings in relation to ecological concerns. Skinner describes the Buddhist implications in Kyger’s work as a form of “continual conscious compassion,” achieved through cultivating non-attachment and the Buddhist doctrine of pratītya samutpāda, or karmic interdependence with other sentient and non-sentient beings. Skinner examines Kyger’s poems and journal writings, as well as her tenure as editor of the Bolinas local newspaper, the Hearsay News.
Conclusion
Authors: Webb Christopher
Published: January 2025

The Conclusion synthesises the book’s arguments about how British avant-garde writers engaged with changing notions of work and leisure in the 1960s and early 1970s. It reflects on the Writers Reading group as a microcosm of the tensions between artistic experimentation and commercial pressures. The chapter considers the legacy of these writers’ approaches to labour and creativity and suggests how their work illuminates ongoing debates about artistic value and cultural production in late capitalism.
Empress with Agency: Eusebia’s Efforts to Consolidate the Constantinian Dynasty
Authors: Holm Silvia
Published: January 2025

Eusebia’s time as empress was short, yet it was significant. The second wife to Constantius II is best known for being the mediator between the emperor and Julian, his estranged cousin and later successor. Her political potential came into focus in recent research, yet many questions regarding her motives for actions remain unanswered. This chapter, while recognising the difficulties involved in this enterprise, proposes an explanation for Eusebia’s actions that attempts to overcome the gendered stereotypes present in the sources and instead positions Eusebia as a powerful ‘player’ in her own right within the court of Constantius II. In her political courses of action, this chapter attempts to identify divergent strategical steps, leading to her own matronage. Her political impact can thus illustrate structures and possibilities for female power already implemented at court. The chapter aims to demonstrate that Eusebia’s agency lay in the extension of dynastic influence at the imperial court and the empire. The consolidation of the Constantinian dynasty provided Eusebia with an enhanced political position in return. Though her role as empress is expressed by being an advisor to Constantius and a mentor to Julian, she operates independently and is more than a mere agent.
The Empress Sophia and East Roman Foreign Policy
Authors: Dagnall Lewis
Published: January 2025

Chapter 5 examines the Empress Sophia’s approach to foreign relations through a reinterpretation of the literary evidence. It uses the unique circumstances of the Emperor Justin II’s incapacitation and Sophia’s subsequent regency to contrast their divergent approaches to the controversial issue of whether to pay monetary subsidies to ‘barbarians’ for peace. The chapter argues Sophia enjoyed greater policy flexibility than Justin, because the latter felt obliged to emulate the ideal of the masculine, militarist ‘imperial victor’. The empress, detached from these expectations, could employ a fuller range of imperialist stratagems in dealing with foreign powers. Justin started his reign by cancelling treaties with the Avars and Sasanians. This decision triggered disastrous wars which had a catastrophic impact on Justin’s mental health. He recused himself in 574 and, until his death in 578, Sophia enjoyed supreme power as regent. Sophia immediately sought to end Justin’s wars and re-establish peace treaties. Although Tiberius side-lined Sophia from day-to-day decisions when he became emperor in 578, he maintained her use of subsidies and she continued to have influence at court. These circumstances provide a unique opportunity to contrast the different approaches of an emperor and an empress to the same foreign policy crisis.
Antonina Patricia : Theodora’s Fixer at the Female Court and the Politics of Gender in Procopius
Authors: Lillington-Martin Christopher
Published: January 2025

Chapter 10 debates the extent to which Antonina (c.498-565+) acted as a political instrument of the Empress Theodora (c.500-548) to facilitate her projection of power from the court in Constantinople. The question of whether Antonina exercised her own power is discussed in the context of the political deeds which she performed as an agent of Theodora. Antonina, daughter of an actress and a charioteer, became extremely powerful from 533 to 549. Questions addressed include: In considering Antonina's power relations, how much agency/power do the sources assign her? When does she operate power autonomously? When is it contingent upon others, especially Theodora and Belisarius? How did she hold court at the Domus Pinciana in Rome, chosen by Belisarius as his seat of political power? How important to her agency were Antonina’s own ‘fixers’, named: Eugenius and Calligonus (a eunuch)? To what extent do the sources represent male anxiety that power is being wielded inappropriately by improper persons?
Peculiar Dust Emission within the Orion Molecular Cloud

Published: January 2025

It is widely assumed that dust opacities in molecular clouds follow a power-law profile with an index, β. Recent studies of the Orion Molecular Cloud (OMC) 2/3 complex, however, show a flattening in the spectral energy distribution (SED) at λ > 2 mm, implying nonconstant indices on scales ≳0.08 pc. The origin of this flattening is not yet known, but it may be due to the intrinsic properties of the dust grains or contamination from other sources of emission. We investigate the SED slopes in OMC 2/3 further using observations of six protostellar cores with Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) from 2.9–3.6 mm and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Atacama Compact Array in Band 4 (1.9–2.1 mm) and Band 5 (1.6–1.8 mm) on core and envelope scales of ∼0.02–0.08 pc. We confirm flattened opacity indices between 2.9 mm and 3.6 mm for the six cores with β ≈ −0.16 to 1.45, which are notably lower than the β-values of >1.3 measured for these sources on 0.08 pc scales from single-dish data. Four sources have consistent SED slopes between the ALMA data and the NOEMA data. We propose that these sources may have a significant fraction of emission coming from large dust grains in embedded disks, which biases the emission more at longer wavelengths. Two sources, however, had inconsistent slopes between the ALMA and NOEMA data, indicating different origins of emission. These results highlight how care is needed when combining multiscale observations or extrapolating single-band observations to other wavelengths.
Cross-Community Question Relevance Prediction for Stack Overflow and GitHub
Authors: Yu Song , Jiang Bugao , Zhang Danni , Liao Zhifang
Published: January 2025

As the open-source community has evolved, Stack Overflow (SO) has gained extensive usage. The question-and-answer community’s mechanism for recommending related questions helps users discover more content relevant to their current problems, expediting issue resolution. However, the recommendation of relevant questions in a single community context limits the amount of available content and the diversity of content, and the recommendation results rely heavily on the existing knowledge of the community. Stack Overflow still harbors a substantial number of unresolved questions. To address this situation, this paper proposes a cross-community question relevance prediction model, CCQRP, to predict the relevance of Stack Overflow ques-tions and GitHub(GH) issues, and recommend relevant GitHub issues. CCQRP aims to assist developers in effectively resolving problems and enhancing development efficiency. We design an embedding layer incorporating BERTOverflow and Bi-LSTM and devise a weighted attention matrix based on named entity types of tokens. This matrix assigns different weights to tokens of varying named entity types during the prediction process, capturing critical information to predict the relevance of SO questions and GH issues. Due to the lack of existing datasets, we construct a dataset named Question-Issue dataset (QI), consisting of Stack Overflow questions, GitHub issues, and the corresponding question-issue relevance, containing 240,000 related SO question-GH issue pairs and 470,000 unrelated pairs. We evaluate the effectiveness of CCQRP on QI. Compared to the latest models (MQDD, CodeBERT, ASIM), CCQRP demonstrates an improvement in F1-score ranging from 0.60% to 10.86% and exhibits robust generalization capabilities.
Zero-shot Learning for Subdiscrimination in Pre-trained Models
Authors: Dominguez-Mateos Francisco , O’Brien Vincent , Garland James , Furlong Ryan , Palacios-Alonso Daniel
Published: January 2025

In deep metric learning (DML) high-level input data are represented in a lower-level representation (embedding) space, such that samples from the same class are mapped close together, while samples from disparate classes are mapped further apart. In this lower-level representation, only a single inference sample from each known class is required to accurately discriminate between classes. To this end, embeddings trained for a specific task may contain additional feature information which can be used to go a level deeper into the discrimination task, i.e. allowing for feature sub-discrimination. This study takes an embedding trained to discriminate faces (identities) and uses the inherent feature information within the embedding to differentiate several attributes such as gender, age, and skin tone, without any additional training. This study is split into two cases; intra class discrimination where all the embeddings considered are from the same identity/in-dividual but with minor attributes such as beard/beardless, glasses/without glasses and emotions; and extra class discrimination where the embeddings represent different identities/people with more prominent attributes such as male/female, pale/dark tone, young/older. In the intra class sub-discriminant scenario, the inference process distinguishes common attributes and several artefacts of different identities, achieving 90.0% and 76.0% accuracy for beards and glasses, respectively. The system can also perform extra class sub-discrimination with a high accuracy rate, notably 99.3%, 99.3% and 94.1% for gender, skin tone, and age, respectively. To sum up, this work investigates the sub-discriminative capabilities of DML models by clustering discriminative features evident within the structure of DML embeddings.
Evaluation of biomarkers for clinical activity of systemic lupus erhythematodes
Authors: Reshkova Valentina , Kyurkchiev Dobroslav , Monov Simeon
Published: January 2025

The scope of the present clinical study is to conduct research on biomarkers of clinical activity of SLE (Human IFN-gamma, Human IFN-alpha, Human sICAM-1, Human sVCAM-1, Human sIL-2R, and TNF-R) and to determine the connection between laboratory biomarkers and clinical and immunological activity of the disease. In the present study, we included 48 patients with SLE (43 women and 5 men) age 53 years, with an average value of 4.32 points (min 0 max 12 points) of activity of SLE by SLEDAI-2K, and 34 healthy controls (31 women and 3 men). Basic clinical symptoms include arthritis and skin damage. The analysis of biomarkers in serum is statistically significantly higher than healthy controls for human IFN-alpha and human sVCAM-1. The analysis of biomarkers in the serum of human IFN-gamma, human sICAM-1, TNF-R, and human IL-12p40/p70 is not statistically significantly higher than healthy controls. The correlation analysis between disease activity assessed with SLEDAI-2K and biomarkers did not confirm a statistically significant relationship. Conclusion. Human IFN-alpha and human sVCAM-1 are sensitivity markers and play an important role in the activity of the disease in the Bulgarian population with SLE.
Back to the future of the Internet : guidance from the Web’s open origins for today’s problems
Authors: Baker Mitchell
Published: January 2025

The open Internet has fulfilled much of its original promise. However, increasingly it is becoming easy to forget the benefits the internet brings, or the promise it first held to better the human condition. A new vision of online life is creeping in, one in which the internet is dominated by a few mega-corporations that see and control everything, and where citizens can’t tell what’s true, and respond to rumors with violence and increasingly nihilist actions. Responding to today’s online challenges requires remembering, reimagining and reapplying key aspects of openness which lie at the internet’s core. We need smart, thoughtful ideas and policies that integrate the key benefits of open systems into effective solutions to today’s challenges.

Va-t-on vers des politiques de transport pilotées par les données ?
Authors: La Fortelle Arnaud de , Vöge Tom
Published: January 2025

La digitalisation de la société a produit nombre de ruptures. Le transport, après bien d’autres secteurs, est secoué par les discussions autour du véhicule autonome ou des services de type Uber. Les autorités en charge des transports sont confrontées au même problème que les autres secteurs : comment encourager l’innovation sous sa forme positive, en créant de nouveaux services, tout en améliorant, sans le sacrifier, tout l’existant ? Le point d’interrogation du titre de cet article est presque provocateur, tellement il semble que le choix est fait. Il est clair que la donnée devra être utilisée : le but de cet article est donc plutôt d’introduire le cadre et la manière dont cette mutation devrait avoir lieu et de donner des clefs de compréhension pour aller plus loin.
Entreprise libérée et pratiques numériques
Authors: Roux Emmanuelle , Krewer Jan
Published: January 2025

Par une restructuration des marchés, par l’apparition de nouveaux concurrents, mais aussi par l’adoption de nouveaux usages chez les salariés, le numérique exerce de manière croissante une pression sur les entreprises, qui doivent à la fois se transformer pour maintenir leur capacité à innover et inventer des méthodes de travail favorisant l’autonomie de leurs employés. Mais ce n’est pas seulement la bureaucratie interne de l’entreprise qui est touchée : de nouvelles formes de « travail ouvert » se répandent, qui se fondent sur une collaboration resserrée avec un nombre croissant d’acteurs extérieurs. L’horizontalité radicale développée par de nouveaux collectifs de travail peut aller jusqu’à remettre en cause le modèle même de l’entreprise : la définition de ses frontières et son mode de gouvernance. Afin d’empêcher l’apparition de nouvelles inégalités au travail, mais aussi de nouvelles formes de dépendance économique, il est essentiel de développer de nouveaux modèles organisationnels offrant un cadre aux associations fluides et ponctuelles de l’économie numérique, tout en favorisant la liberté et la responsabilité du plus grand nombre.

Le secteur des transports et de la mobilité a innové autour de son appareil industriel depuis des décennies. Après plusieurs vagues d’automatisation successive, c’est au tour de l’intelligence artificielle de dévoiler de nouveaux potentiels pour une meilleure qualité de service et une expérience client plus personnalisée et engageante. Ces capacités nouvelles qui s’ouvrent au groupe RATP sont vectrices de transformation et d’innovation. Elles permettent la modélisation de nouveaux phénomènes et apportent de nouvelles connaissances qu’il convient de rendre concrètes et opérationnelles. L’adéquation subtile entre l’expertise métier, les mathématiques, l’informatique et les données en sont la clé de réussite.
Intelligence artificielle et contrôle de gestion : un rapport aux chiffres revisité et des enjeux organisationnels
Authors: Moinard Christian , Berland Nicolas
Published: January 2025

L’arrivée de l’ensemble de technologies qualifiées parfois « d’informatique cognitive », d’IA, de big data … (Shivam et al ., 2018) pourrait bouleverser l’approche de la performance des entreprises. Plus qu’une nouvelle manière d’analyser la performance (à travers l’apparition de nouveaux indicateurs), c’est un nouveau rapport aux données chiffrées que ces technologies induisent. Mais ces approches ne sont pas sans risque. Afin d’éviter les dangers de modèles algorithmiques qui seraient des boites noires et afin de répondre aux enjeux de schémas d’interprétation mis sous tension, c’est une transformation des métiers (et principalement de celui des contrôleurs de gestion) et des organisations qui est attendue. Les chiffres étant des conventions, des construits sociaux, toute transformation des modalités de production des chiffres implique des transformations des systèmes sociaux sur lesquels ils agissent.
Une IA ou des IA ? Représentations et relations avec les IA
Authors: La Fortelle Arnaud de
Published: January 2025

Cette simple question : « Une ou bien des intelligences artificielles ? » nous introduit dans la complexité de notre relation avec la notion même d’intelligence artificielle (IA). Comme pour l’homme, il n’y a bien entendu pas une seule intelligence et déjà la définition du concept se révèle difficile. Le fameux test de Turing – qui déciderait quand une intelligence artificielle serait du même niveau que l’homme – est de plus en plus contesté et ne donne aucune définition, au mieux il procède par la voie d’une comparaison et d’une analogie. Mais ce n’est pas tant le concept qui nous intéresse ici, que sa représentation qui influe sur notre usage de la technologie et notre relation avec celle-ci.
Le futur du travail en présence de formes artificielles d’intelligence
Authors: Caseau Yves
Published: January 2025

Cet article s’intéresse à l’essor de l’automatisation – des robots à l’intelligence artificielle – et son impact sur les emplois. Je propose une vision de l’évolution du travail dans laquelle l’homme est complémentaire de ces nouvelles formes automatisées de production et de création de valeur. Les capacités actuelles d’automatisation et la prise en compte de ce qui est à venir nous invitent à repenser le rôle des humains dans l’organisation du travail. L’idée que nous allons tous vivre de notre créativité tandis que les machines s’occuperont de la production est naïve et probablement fausse. Dans cet univers qui se dessine, tout ce qui s’automatise devient une commodité, la valeur perçue se trouve dans les émotions et les interactions. Cette nouvelle vision du travail modifie l’organisation de l’entreprise, de façon interne, mais également en tant que participante à un réseau.
Algorithmes et droit pénal : quel avenir ?
Authors: Berlinski Élise , Bello Imane , Gaudron Arthur
Published: January 2025

Les algorithmes d’intelligence artificielle (IA) et plus spécifiquement de machine learning (ML) se déploient dans le domaine du droit pénal. Ils permettent la création de sujets numériques comme prismes de perception d’un sujet référent réel. Alors que le lien entre le sujet référent et le sujet numérique n’est pas évident, les informations que ce dernier offre peuvent orienter une enquête ou influencer l’appréciation d’un juge. Il semble donc urgent de comprendre plus précisément le prisme par lequel ces méthodes font percevoir la personne physique au centre de l’enquête ou du jugement. Pour cela, nous décrivons les étapes de construction du sujet numérique, des données utilisées aux algorithmes appliqués, dont les spécificités propres se présentent comme autant de réflexions kaléidoscopiques. Nous considérons enfin les degrés de transformation que l’utilisation d’un sujet numérique créé par des algorithmes de ML pourrait impliquer pour le droit pénal.
« S’investir dans la domesticité du champ » : réflexivité scientifique et participation à la défense des intérêts des SHS dans Horizon Europe
Authors: Hamm Marylou , Georgakakis Didier
Published: January 2025

Dans cet entretien, Didier Georgakakis est interrogé par Marylou Hamm sur son parcours en tant que représentant des intérêts de la science politique puis des sciences humaines et sociales auprès des institutions européennes. L’objectif est de revenir sur une séquence de presque 10 ans ayant abouti à la construction du Cluster 2 dédié aux SHS et au triplement de son budget lors des négociations d’Horizon Europe en 2021. À mi-chemin entre témoignage ethnographique et anthropologie réflexive, cet échange ouvre une nouvelle perspective sur l’élaboration de la politique européenne de recherche en SHS. Ce faisant, il explore les conditions dans lesquelles le savoir scientifique peut être mobilisé pour l’action ou la pratique politique et les effets retours de cet « investissement dans la domesticité du champ » sur l’approfondissement théorique du champ institutionnel de l’UE.
Imiter, simuler et contrefaire : les simulacres du cynisme
Authors: Chapuis Maxime
Published: January 2025

Si la falsification ou contrefaçon (παϱαχαϱάσσειν) dans le cynisme a donné lieu à de nombreuses études dans la mesure où Diogène a fait un principe philosophique de l’oracle de Delphes lui intimant de falsifier la monnaie (παϱαχαϱάσσειν τὸ νόμισμα), d’autres verbes utilisés pour caractériser certaines actions ou postures de ce mouvement ont, en revanche, souvent été négligés : imiter (μιμει̑σθαι, ζηλου̑ν) et simuler (ϱπϱοσποιει̑σθαι). Nous proposons de subsumer ces termes, à la fois proches et différents, sous celui plus général de simulacre et d’en étudier les usages comme mise en pratique d’une stratégie philosophique dont l’objectif est, paradoxalement en apparence, de faire tomber les illusions. Dans cette perspective, l’imitation apparaît comme une étape importante dans la constitution d’un modèle de vie philosophique. En outre, la simulation permet au cynique d’adopter un mode de vie à contre-courant des normes sociales. Cette hypothèse de lecture, enfin, autorise une interprétation différente de la contrefaçon des valeurs. Le simulacre, quelles qu’en soient les formes, pourrait être ainsi valorisé comme instrument permettant de chasser les fauxsemblants.
Multi-scale Jones polynomial and persistent Jones polynomial for knot data analysis
Authors: Song Ruzhi , Li Fengling , Wu Jie , Lei Fengchun , Wei Guo-Wei
Published: January 2025

Many structures in science, engineering, and art can be viewed as curves in 3-space. The entanglement of these curves plays a crucial role in determining the functionality and physical properties of materials. Many concepts in knot theory provide theoretical tools to explore the complexity and entanglement of curves in 3-space. However, classical knot theory focuses on global topological properties and lacks the consideration of local structural information, which is critical in practical applications. In this work, two localized models based on the Jones polynomial were proposed, namely, the multi-scale Jones polynomial and the persistent Jones polynomial. The stability of these models, especially the insensitivity of the multi-scale and persistent Jones polynomial models to small perturbations in curve collections, was analyzed, thus ensuring their robustness for real-world applications.
Monodromic singularities without curves of zero angular speed
Authors: García Isaac A. , Giné Jaume
Published: January 2025

We consider planar analytic vector fields $ \mathcal{X} $ having a monodromic singular point with Poincaré map $ \Pi $. We use the fact that there always exists a real analytic invariant curve $ F = 0 $ of $ \mathcal{X} $ in a neighborhood of that singularity. We find some relations between $ \Pi $ and $ F $ that can be used to determine new conditions that guarantee the analyticity of $ \Pi $ at the singularity. In the special case that $ F $ becomes an inverse integrating factor of $ \mathcal{X} $, we rediscover formulas obtained previously by other methods. Applications to the center-focus problem and also to vector fields with degenerate infinity are given.
Fixed-time consensus of second-order multi-agent systems based on event-triggered mechanism under DoS attacks
Authors: Liang Jiaqi , Chen Zhanheng , Yu Zhiyong , Jiang Haijun
Published: January 2025

This paper investigates fixed-time consensus (FXTC) for second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems under denial of service (DoS) attacks using event-triggered control. First, consensus in second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems with directed topologies is studied under a static event-triggered mechanism. Building upon this, dynamic auxiliary variables are introduced, and a dynamic event-triggered mechanism is designed. Consensus control protocols are proposed for both leader-follower and leaderless scenarios. Using Lyapunov stability theory and algebraic graph theory, the fixed-time consensus of multi-agent systems with directed topologies under DoS attacks is analyzed. Furthermore, Zeno behavior is excluded. Finally, numerical examples are presented to validate the theoretical results.
Digital Inclusion in the United States of America
Authors: Etim Alice S.
Published: January 2025

The Federal Government Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), popularly known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) was signed into law by President Joe Biden on November 15, 2021. It included investments in broadband for rural Americans and other economically disadvantaged communities. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has the responsibility to develop and maintain the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a component of BIL. Using data and reports from fcc.gov, usda.gov and other government agencies, the chapter reviews key policies and reports on rural broadband to show inclusion of rural America and tribal lands or the lack of it when compared to urban communities. The chapter also examines the digital divide that exists among different groups, the importance of digital and technological inclusion that can allow for equitable access to information communication technology (ICT) tools and services, particularly broadband and implications for business development.
Advancing ESOL Pre-Service Teachers' Beliefs About Cultural Diversity Through Funds of Identity
Authors: Hibbs Brian
Published: January 2025

This chapter explores the utilization of the funds of identity approach as a viable avenue for expanding pre-service ESOL teachers' beliefs about cultural diversity. The chapter begins with an examination of the concepts of diversity and inclusion and then provides an overview of the funds of knowledge and funds of identity approaches and their relevancy for teacher education writ large. Next, the chapter outlines several studies which have investigated the contribution of the funds of identity approach to ESOL teacher candidates' views of themselves, their students, and their role as TESOL professionals. Finally, the chapter provides the logistics of an exploratory study designed to collect and analyze information about two pre-service teachers' participation in several funds of identity activities and their perspectives on the contribution of these activities to their awareness of their own cultural identities and the pertinence of the tasks to their professionalization as future ESOL educators.

Published: January 2025

The process of sequence labeling (POS) by assigning syntactic tags to words in the given context is an important role in various NLP applications. The core motive of this work is to tackle the morpho-syntactic category of words in Urdu language. This language has lots of computational challenges because of its dual nature. The work comprises different tasks as initially the authors tracked the best combination of feature sets in terms of CRF to entitle the previous results on two stable and well-known datasets Bushra Jawaid dataset and CLE dataset. Due to syntactic ambiguity, a state-of-the-art voting method has been introduced which is being implemented to overcome the contradictory results of the different machine learning classifiers. The results show significant improvement in the baseline results as the F1-score on a primary dataset is 94.8% and 95.7% on the succeeding dataset. Long short-term memory (LSTM) is used for one of the most diverse and inflectional tasks like part of speech tagging for the Urdu language by achieving an F1-score of 86.7% and 96.1% respectively for both datasets.
