INFLUENCE OF THE FACTOR FAMILY HISTORY ON THE RISK OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE
Authors: Behbudova J. A.
Published: August 2022

For the purpose of investigating the correlation between incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) and family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), the study of prevalence of CVD among the first-degree relatives of patients with a known MI episode has been conducted. Medico-genetic files of two groups of patients with evidence of MI on ECG at rest have been analyzed: first group comprising patients who had an episode of MI before 55 years of age and second group comprising patients who had an episode after 55 years of age. A fairly high percentage of CVD in families of majority of patients with a known episode of MI has been noticed. However, this study has demonstrated a relatively low prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and MI, including MI episodes before the age of 55, among fathers of patients from both groups. Moreover, occurrence of CAD and MI in fathers of the subgroup of patients who suffered from MI before 50 years of age of these patients practically showed no difference from that of subgroups of patients with episodes of MI at an older age. A fairly large amount of patients in both groups had no history of CAD in their families (41,5% and 41,2%, respectively). Considering the results mentioned above, there is no evidence to suggest that a predisposition of patients to MI episode at a younger age increases with existence of this disease in fathers of such patients. Results of our study suggest that increased presence of CVD and risk factors in first-degree relatives increases the probability of MI CAD in most patients of both groups regardless of the age of development of an MI episode.

Published: August 2022

We report high-resolution (2″ ∼ 200 pc) mappings of the central region of the nearby barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365 in the CO(1–0) and CO(2–1) emission lines. The 2–1/1–0 ratio of integrated intensities shows a large scatter (0.15) with a median value of 0.67. We also calculate the ratio of velocity dispersions and peak temperatures and find that in most cases the velocity dispersion ratio is close to unity and thus the peak temperature ratio is comparable to the integrated intensity ratio. This result indicates that both CO(1–0) and CO(2–1) lines trace similar components of molecular gas, with their integrated intensity (or peak temperature) ratios reflecting the gas density and/or temperature. Similar to recent kiloparsec-scale studies, these ratios show a positive correlation with a star formation rate indicator (here we use an extinction-corrected Hα map), suggesting that molecular gas associated with recent star formation is denser and/or warmer. We also find that some CO spectra show two peaks owing to complicated kinematics, and such two components likely trace molecular gas at different conditions. This result demonstrates the importance of spectral fitting to measure integrated intensities and their ratios more accurately.

Published: August 2022

Highly variable Markarian 421 is a bright high–synchrotron energy peaked blazar showing a wide featureless nonthermal spectrum, making it a good candidate for our study of intraday flux and spectral variations over time. We analyze its X-ray observations over 17 yr, taken with the EPIC-pn instrument, to probe into the intraday variability properties, focusing on the photon energy band of 0.3–10.0 keV, and its soft (0.3–2.0 keV) and hard (2.0–10.0 keV) subbands. To examine the flux variability, fractional variability amplitudes and minimum variability timescales have been calculated. We also probed into the spectral variability by studying the hardness ratio for each observation, the correlation between the two energy bands, using the discrete correlation function, and inspecting the normalized light curves. The parameters obtained from these methods were studied for any correlations or nonrandom trends. From this work, we speculate on the constraints on the possible particle acceleration and emission processes in the jet, for a better understanding of the processes involving turbulent behavior, except for shocks. A positive discrete correlation function between the two subbands indicates the role of the same electron population in the emission of photons in the two bands. A correlation between the parameter of flux variability and the parameters of spectral variation and lags in the subenergy bands provides the constraints to be considered for any modeling of emission processes.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: Stroke has become a serious problem in Indonesia. Its prevalence tends to increase every year. Individuals who have had a stroke are unable to live independently. In continuing their daily activities, post-stroke patients must be able to adapt and unite their desires and life goals with physical, psychological, social, role, and spiritual changes compared to before suffering a stroke. Failure in the adaptation process will make the quality of life of post-stroke patients significantly decrease. The WHO considers the potential use of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) as an instrument to measure the quality of life of post-stroke patients which has been commonly used in many studies.

AIM: This study aimed to analyze the validity and reliability of HRQoL questionnaire on post-stroke patient. It also analyzes the psycho-social, role, and spiritual dimensions of the quality of life of post-stroke patients using sociology theoretical approach utilizing structural functionalism theory and social change theory.

METHODS: HRQoL, consists of 37 questions including physical, psychological, social, role, and spiritual dimensions, was applied to measure the quality of life. Pearson product moment and Cronbach’s alpha were used as validity and reliability test. Analysis of the sociological approach was carried out using Talcott Parsons Sociology.

RESULT: Forty-four post-first stroke attack respondents from two hospitals in Surabaya East Java and Klaten Central Java, Indonesia, were obtained. Construct validity test showed that six questions were not valid study (p > 0.05, r < 0.297) and 31 questions were valid. The reliability test exhibited that all valid questions were reliable (Cronbach’s α=0.888)

CONCLUSION: The HRQoL is a reliable and valid instrument with good psychometric properties. The scale is recommended for assessing quality of life of post-stroke patients.

Published: August 2022

Guatemala has a great diversity of butterflies, although there have been few intensive surveys on Lepidoptera in the country so far. We present an updated list of 218 species in 149 genera, 19 subfamilies, and six families of butterflies sampled at two seasonally dry forests in the Salamá and Motagua valleys in central and eastern Guatemala, by integrating new data from field surveys conducted in 2014–2021 into our previously published data (Yoshimoto et al. 2018, 2019), with Amblyscirtes elissa elissa Godman, 1900, Repens florus (Godman, 1900), and Niconiades nikko Hayward, 1948 (Hesperiidae: Hesperiinae) as new country records. We collected a hairstreak species, Chalybs hassan (Stoll, 1790) (Lycaenidae: Theclinae), at the Motagua Valley site, representing the second record for Guatemala since the early 20th century, after we rediscovered it at the Salamá Valley site in 2011 and 2012 (Yoshimoto and Salinas-Gutiérrez 2015). Nymphalidae and Hesperiidae had larger numbers of species than the other four families at both sites. In Pieridae and Nymphalidae, species composition was similar between the sites, whereas in Lycaenidae, Riodinidae, and Papilionidae it differed more greatly between the sites. These results confirm the relatively high lepidopteran diversity of Guatemalan dry forests, noteworthy for the small areas that comprise the study sites, and represent marked similarities and differences in butterfly fauna and phenology within these forests.
Le renouveau de la politique industrielle française : une opportunité majeure pour les territoires
Authors: Courbe Thomas
Published: August 2022

À l’aune du constat imposé par l’épreuve des crises et de la situation industrielle de la France, des choix s’imposent afin de répondre à la triple transition que nous devons mener : la transition écologique, la transition numérique et la transition vers l’autonomie stratégique . Aussi, pour parvenir à relever ces défis, notre politique industrielle doit s’appuyer sur les territoires qui représentent le cœur battant historique et à venir de l’industrie française. Des premiers résultats, acquis au cours des dernières années, sont à souligner. En particulier : le nombre d’usines en France a augmenté en 2021, et la France crée, depuis 5 ans, de l’emploi industriel dans ses territoires. Au-delà de son importance économique, l’industrie représente un vecteur de cohésion sociale et territoriale. C’est aussi un marqueur d’identité et de savoir-faire pour les territoires, tant à l’échelle nationale qu’à l’international à travers l’export. À cet égard, l’action de l’État en faveur de l’industrie doit être menée largement sur le terrain par la multiplication coordonnée d’initiatives concrètes.

La fascination que nous inspire les Google Apple Facebook Amazon Microsoft ne doit pas occulter l’autre révolution, celle de l’industrie 4.0 : convergence du monde virtuel et du monde réel, de la connectivité et de la robotisation, refonte radicale des relations entre les acteurs, accélération des innovations technologiques. La nouvelle donne posée par le dérèglement climatique et la question de l’avenir de notre planète peuvent permettre à la France de gagner la prochaine bataille industrielle. Notre pays possède pour ce faire des atouts indéniables : des ingénieurs de grande qualité, des territoires attractifs, un réseau d’infrastructures de tout premier ordre mais la France doit aussi corriger de grandes faiblesses : redresser l’image désastreuse qu’a l’industrie chez nos concitoyens, transformer un système éducatif et de formation en déshérence, repenser notre positionnement sur les chaines de valeurs globales, enfin être moteur pour une intégration européenne plus forte.
Les composants électroniques, clés de la souveraineté technologique de l’Europe
Authors: Markus Vincent
Published: August 2022

Le marché des semi-conducteurs a cru de façon spectaculaire au cours de ces dernières décennies. Aujourd’hui, la Chine, la Corée du Sud et Taïwan assurent près de 60 % de la production mondiale. C’est pourquoi la Commission européenne a dévoilé en février dernier son « Chips Act », qui vise à quadrupler la production européenne de puces moyennant un investissement de 43 milliards d’euros. Mais dans cette bataille mondiale pour la souveraineté technologique, il ne faut pas oublier qu’aux côtés des géants, de nombreuses entreprises de plus petite taille contribuent puissamment à faire émerger les technologies de demain.
Le rôle crucial des acteurs publics locaux pour accélérer les implantations industrielles
Authors: Eury Simon-Pierre
Published: August 2022

Dans un contexte d’augmentation du nombre de nouveaux projets industriels sur notre territoire, la France continue de traîner une image de « complexité administrative », préjudiciable à son attractivité. Un travail de fond est en cours pour y remédier. En particulier, le rôle des acteurs publics locaux est essentiel pour permettre une accélération concrète des délais d’autorisation et d’implantation des nouvelles usines. Il s’exprime notamment au travers des comités de pilotage animés par les sous-préfets d’arrondissement pour coordonner le travail de l’ensemble des services instructeurs sur un projet industriel. Mais le travail de « préparation » du foncier industriel par les collectivités peut également faire gagner un temps précieux à tous en anticipant les principaux obstacles à l’installation rapide d’une usine. C’est tout l’objet du dispositif « sites industriels clés en main » déployé depuis 2020 par l’État.

La France connaît depuis plusieurs années un profond regain d’intérêt pour son industrie, se traduisant par un renouveau des politiques industrielles nationales. Ce renouveau se fait aussi localement, notamment grâce au renforcement des capacités économiques des collectivités sous l’effet des lois de décentralisation. Au sein du bloc local, les intercommunalités jouent un rôle d’animation et d’interface entre acteurs permettant de renforcer les liens entre acteurs industriels, mais aussi de catalyser des solutions (foncières, environnementales, technologiques, de formation, d’emploi) permettant aux écosystèmes industriels de se renforcer et se pérenniser.

Published: August 2022

In current days, hybrid models have become more essential in a wide range of systems, including medical treatment, aerosol particle handling, laboratory instrument design, industry and naval academia, and more. The influence of linear, nonlinear, and quadratic Rosseland approximations on 3D flow behavior was explored in the presence of Fourier fluxes and Boussinesq quadratic thermal oscillations. Ternary hybrid nanoparticles of different shapes and densities were also included. Using the necessary transformation, the resulting partial differential system is transformed into a governing ordinary differential system, and the solution is then furnished with two mixed compositions (Case-Ⅰ and Case-Ⅱ). Combination one looked at aluminum oxide (Platelet), graphene (Cylindrical), and carbon nanotubes (Spherical), whereas mixture two looked at copper (Cylindrical), copper oxide (Spherical), and silver oxide (Platelet). Many changes in two mixture compositions, as well as linear, quadratic, and nonlinear thermal radiation situations of the flow, are discovered. Case-1 ternary combinations have a wider temperature distribution than Case-2 ternary mixtures. Carbon nanotubes (Spherical), graphene (Cylindrical), and aluminum oxide (Platelet) exhibit stronger conductivity than copper oxide (Spherical), copper (Cylindrical), and silver oxide (Platelet) in Case 1. (Platelet). In copper oxide (Spherical), copper (Cylindrical), and silver (Platelet) compositions, the friction factor coefficient is much higher. The combination of liquids is of great importance in various systems such as medical treatment, manufacturing, experimental instrument design, aerosol particle handling and naval academies, etc. Roseland's quadratic and linear approximation of three-dimensional flow characteristics with the existence of Boussinesq quadratic buoyancy and thermal variation. In addition, we combine tertiary solid nanoparticles with different shapes and densities. In many practical applications such as the plastics manufacturing and polymer industry, the temperature difference is remarkably large, causing the density of the working fluid to vary non-linearly with temperature. Therefore, the nonlinear Boussinesq (NBA) approximation cannot be ignored, since it greatly affects the flow and heat transport characteristics of the working fluid. Here, the flow of non-Newtonian elastomers is controlled by the tension of an elastic sheet subjected to NBA and the quadratic form of the Rosseland thermal radiation is studied.
Iterative CT reconstruction based on ADMM using shearlet sparse regularization
Authors: Xiao Dayu , Li Jianhua , Zhao Ruotong , Qi Shouliang , Kang Yan
Published: August 2022

The total variation (TV) method favors solutions with the piece-wise constant assumption of the desired image from sparse-view sampling, for example, simple geometric images with flat intensity. When the phantoms become more complex and contain complicated textures, for example, high-resolution phantom and lung CT images, the images reconstructed by TV regularization may lose their contrast and fine structures. One of the optimally sparse transforms for images, the shearlet transform, has C2 without discontinuities on C2 curves, giving excellent sensitive directional information as compared with other wavelet transform approaches. Here, we developed a Shearlet-Sparse Regularization (SSR) algorithm solved with the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) to overcome this limitation. With the strengthened characteristics of SSR, we performed one simulation experiment and two real experiments using a NeuViz 64 X-ray CT scanning system to measure the performance and properties of proposed algorithm. The results demonstrate that the SSR method exhibits the advantage of providing high-quality directional information and contrast as compared with TV.
The effect of PrEP uptake and adherence on the spread of HIV in the presence of casual and long-term partnerships
Authors: Gutowska S. J. , Hoffman K. A. , Gurski K. F.
Published: August 2022

A model with both casual and long-term partnerships is considered with respect to the impact of a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) on the spread of HIV. We consider the effect of the effectiveness of PrEP, the rate that susceptible individuals choose to take PrEP, and compliance with the daily dose of the pre-exposure prophylaxis. The rate of infection in long-term partnerships is computed using a linearized expected value as a means for including the nonlocal effects of long-term partnerships while maintaining computational feasibility. The reproduction numbers for models with casual partnerships, long-term partnerships, and a combination of both are analytically computed and global stability of both disease-free and endemic equilibria is shown. Sensitivity and PRCC analysis results suggest that increasing the compliance among the current PrEP users is a more effective strategy in the fight against the HIV epidemic than increased coverage with poor compliance. Furthermore, an analysis of the reproduction number shows that models with either casual or monogamous long-term partnerships can reach the desired $ R_0 < 1 $ threshold for high enough levels of compliance and uptake, however, a model with both casual and monogamous long-term partnerships will require additional interventions. Methods highlighted in this manuscript are applicable to other incurable diseases or diseases with imperfect vaccines effected by long-term partnerships.
Support vector machine optimization via an improved elephant herding algorithm for motor energy efficiency rating
Authors: Ren Xinrui , Yu Jianbo , Lv Zhaomin
Published: August 2022

Accurate evaluation of motor energy efficiency under off-condition operation can provide an important basis for an energy-saving upgrade of the motor and the elimination of backward motors. By considering the power quality, motor characteristics and load characteristics, a motor energy efficiency evaluation system with seven indexes and 10 grades was constructed. An improved elephant herding optimization method combined with a support vector machine rating model is proposed, it achieved an accuracy higher than 98%. Considering the slow convergence speed and low convergence precision of the standard elephant herding optimization (EHO) method, it is easy to fall into the local optimum problem. To improve population initialization, chaotic mapping and adversarial learning were used to achieve EHO with population diversity and global search capability. Group learning and elite retention have been added to improve the local development ability of the algorithm. The improved EHO has been compared with other intelligent optimization algorithms by using 12 benchmark functions, and the results show that the improved algorithm has better optimization performance.

Published: August 2022

Physicists’ research in finance and economics began in the 1990s and has been applied to the challenges of this field ever since. One of the challenging issues of econophysics is to answer the questions: Can we solve the economic challenges? How does the statistical physics method contribute with the problem in the asset pricing model? How does the economics network structure and the global financial crisis co-evolve? To answer that questions, several theoretical and empirical studies have already been conducted on the anomalous phenomena of the economy and financial markets. Moreover, at the forefront of recent financial crisis research, extensive and rapid development has been achieved by combining text information and machine learning methodologies. Here, we discuss financial time series analysis and outline the future prospects for econophysics research.

Paramedical training field allows the integration of practical and theoretical knowledge, the mobilization of knowledge offers the possibility to test the skills necessary for the exercise of the profession. Nursing education is organized based on the principle of alternating between theoretical learning in classrooms, and practical learning in the form of simulation sessions in laboratories and internships in healthcare institutions. Indeed, through our article we study the relationship between these two teaching/learning practical methods applied in nursing and technical health professions students’ education. Our study is of the descriptive correlational type, we carried it out through a survey that we conducted with a sample of 289 students, using a questionnaire developed via the Google Forms platform; the data we collected were analyzed using the descriptive statistics method, in frequencies and percentages, presented in the form of figures and simple and bi-variate (Contingency) tables. The main results of this study showed that (a) 59.17% were moderately satisfied with the alternation between simulation sessions and internships; (b) 48% stated that simulation as a method of learning sometimes reflects the reality of internships; (c) 52% announced that it is often possible to transfer the learning acquired through simulation into practical gestures during clinical internships, and (d) 90.66% stated that simulation learning could not replace internships. As a result, this study has concluded that nursing training is based on practical teaching / learning which materializes in simulation activities and clinical internships which are strongly correlated.

Analysis of the Effects of the "Pedagogy - Space - Technology" Framework on University Student’s Learning Efficiency
Authors: Bi Jianxin , Chen Jinlong
Published: August 2022

In the background of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the popularization of intelligent online teaching platforms dominated by advanced teaching technologies is accelerated. Pedagogy-Space-Technology (PST) framework learning space provides students high-quality teaching resources, the overall learning efficiency of students is dissatisfying because students lack intrinsic motivation to learn. Based on existing “intelligent teaching platforms of the PST framework” and combining with the principle of improving internal drive force of students through external guiding strategies, an experiment was designed in this study. The course Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets launched as an open online optional course for Chinese six undergraduate universities in 2021, and was chosen as the research example. Experimental data in 16 weeks were collected to analyze the effects of the PST framework learning space on overall intrinsic learning ability, staged academic performances, and online learning behaviors and improvement degree of intrinsic independent learning ability of students. The students’ independent learning ability is generally improved, but their attitude improvement is not obvious. The academic performances of students are generally improved, especially for students with low intrinsic independent learning ability. The online learning behaviors of students with low intrinsic independent learning ability are not dissatisfying, but their independent learning ability is improved significantly. In this study, the relationship between the PST framework learning space and learning efficiency of students was disclosed from the perspective of the internal-driving and external-guiding teaching model. The obtained conclusion provides a way for university teachers to provide students with emotional support, design multiple teaching technological activity combined strategies, offer external guidance with timely and high-efficiency feedbacks, and improve learning efficiency.

Published: August 2022

For student entrepreneurs with insufficient business experience, they need to hold an open attitude to maintain their competitive advantages in the market and improve their entrepreneurial performance via recruiting talents and creating sales channels using various network resources and advanced IT development technologies. Although field scholars in the world have conducted a lot of research on the evaluation of college students’ innovativeness and entrepreneurship, the differences in study regions, education modes, education concepts, and measurement tools have resulted in large deviations in the evaluation results of different study regions and schools. For this reason, this paper aims to find out the influence mechanism of the improvement of college students’ network ability on the scale of Entrepreneurial Cooperation Network (ECN). At first, the network ability of college students and their fitness degree to harmonious entrepreneurship were measured and analyzed; then, the influence of network ability improvement on ECN scale was studied empirically, and the model regression estimation results were given, which has verified that the psychological quality of student entrepreneurs has a moderating effect on the relationship between their network ability and the scale of ECN they created.

Published: August 2022

Reflective teaching, also known as self-examination teaching, has received much attention from field scholars and education experts around the globe. However, most of their focus has laid on teachers’ teaching competence and professional development, and few of them have concerned about the empirical study on reflective teaching. To fill in this research blank, this paper studied the reflective teaching practice of teachers based on optimal teaching quality. At first, a reflective teaching-based teaching quality gap model was constructed, and an evaluation index system (EIS) was built for assessing the reflective teaching quality of teachers. Then, based on the proposed EIS, this paper built a neural network prediction model to give quantitative assessment on teachers’ reflective teaching quality, and examined the applicability and accuracy of the constructed model in the quality assessment of reflective teaching. At last, the quality assessment results of reflective teaching were given in the experiment based on the proposed neural network, which had verified the effectiveness of the constructed model.

This research aims to combine assessment of creative and critical thinking in a mobile device context, to see its effect on the creative and critical thinking of students. Design-based research as the method was used to develop the assessment as learning. It is begun with the assessment model and android application development, also experiments in the end. Three assessment sessions are participated by 46 students. The analysis using Kruskal Wallis gains the result that there are significant differences in the creative thinking (Chi-square 18.245, Asymp. Sig 0.000) and the critical thinking (Chi-square 7.620. Asymp. Sig 0.022). A significant difference in creative thinking is seen since the second session, while the difference in critical thinking needs the time up to the third session.

Sungai Pusu is the river that passes through the IIUM Gombak campus. The river has been having a cloudy appearance for years hence it is needed to quantify the vital signs such as pH, temperature, and turbidity because these are the vital signs indicating the health of a river. Currently, there a lot of monitoring systems however the available monitoring systems do not support long-range communication and consume a lot of power. The data need to be transmitted at a long-range as it is being monitored remotely at a long distance. Therefore, a river pollution monitoring system must be developed to track the emergency vital signs (EVSs) of the river water The EVs include pH, temperature as well as turbidity. This project capitalizes on the long-range communication and low power consumption LoRaWAN system. The prototype monitoring station design can read the important EVSs of the river such as temperature, pH level, and turbidity. The sensors are connected to a microcontroller board. The readings of the EVSs are transmitted by the LoRa gateway which is forwarding the data to The Things Network Server. A graphical representation of the data is displayed on Ubidots. The results attained quantify the contribution of the IIUM populace to Sungai Pusu Pollution and raise awareness. It is also important to discuss the possibilities to the pollution of the river to see how one’s action could contribute to it. A statistical data of the results is as important so that an overall result can be deduced. Based on the results, the pH is decreased 1.32 pH, the temperature is increased by 2.29°C, and turbidity is decreased by 0.44 NTU throughout the monitoring period. In the future, six more monitoring stations will be added to accommodate KL River of Life (RoL) EVSs too.

Creative thinking skills play an important role in Business English writing, but university students are not creative enough due to the overemphasis of knowledge input in traditional Business English writing classroom in mainland China. To solve this problem, this study involves in the mobile learning environment as the medium. By encouraging students to practice various self-regulated learning strategies while studying the learning content designed under the guidance of Production-Oriented Approach via the mobile app Superstar, this study aims to develop a theoretical framework and consequently promote students’ creative thinking skills in Business English writing. Students reported increased self-regulated learning ability after the experiment. It is found that there is a significant positive relationship between online self-regulated learning and creative thinking and students’ creative thinking skills are significantly improved in post-test. Among all the nine self-regulated writing strategies, goal-oriented monitoring and evaluation, idea planning, and emotional control are the most important predictors of students’ creative thinking levels.
Mobility and Execution Time Aware Task Offloading in Mobile Cloud Computing
Authors: J. Arockia Mary  , Alyosius A.
Published: August 2022

Nowadays, mobile devices perform almost all tasks that can be performed by a computer but empties the battery and consumes memory. It is not necessary to execute the tasks on mobile devices; instead, it is executed in the far-away cloud. To save battery energy, the tasks are offloaded and hopped through several access points to reach the cloud and executed which increased the execution time of the task. Therefore, to save execution time and energy, the tasks are offloaded to a nearby cloudlet and as the device moves, the cloudlet and mobile device are disconnected. The mobile device is connected to the next cloudlet; while the offloaded tasks are partially executed in the previous cloudlet  VM migrates to the new cloudlet. The previous cloudlet examined the remaining execution time of the task. If it is less than the connection time, the task is finished and the result is transferred to the new cloudlet; otherwise, the task is offloaded to the new cloudlet. It is seen that the mobility and execution time aware task offloading model reduces the execution time and power consumption by 21-40% and 26-34% approximately to the existing mobility-aware offloading approach.

Culbutes textuelles et saillies verbales :la mise en recueils des réflexions san-antoniennes
Authors: Fonvielle Stéphanie
Published: August 2022

Portées par une production sérielle de masse, les aventures du commissaire San-Antonio ont définitivement installé l’œuvre et le nom de Frédéric Dard dans le champ de la culture populaire française. La série à gros tirage a fait l’objet d’anthologies et de recueils signés Frédéric Dard ou San-Antonio, parmi lesquels les volumes de Réflexions publiés chez Fleuve noir. Les épreuves de six de ces volumes révèlent des pratiques de réécriture liées à cette reconfiguration du sériel. Des modifications renvoient au processus de mise en recueil : elles visent l’autonomie des citations, et leur (ré)agencement au sein de la collection des Réflexions. D’autres réécritures transforment les citations originales en occurrences types d’un genre, ou d’un style qui, tout en restant suffisamment représentatif de la langue de Frédéric Dard, doit devenir accessible à un lectorat non initié.
De la série romanesque à la franchise :la critique génétique à l’épreuve de l’œuvre ouverte
Authors: Nicolas Agathe
Published: August 2022

Cet article propose d’étudier dans une perspective génétique l’univers de fiction lié à la série littéraire Harry Potter. Celle-ci témoigne, comme d’autres grandes franchises des xxe et xxie siècles, d’un renouvellement possible de la notion « d’œuvre ouverte » proposée par Umberto Eco. Dans le cas des objets étudiés, l’œuvre est ouverte en ce sens qu’elle manifeste la capacité de l’industrie à la redéfinir, à en ouvrir les frontières, à en enrichir les contours et à en remettre en cause les points finaux. L’analyse de ce type d’ensemble transmédiatique et transfictionnel sous l’angle de la critique génétique invite à s’écarter d’une acception purement narrative de la fiction et à dégager les développements industriels et médiatiques de leur définition purement marchande. L’idée d’une « génétique transmédiatique », définissant l’unité de l’œuvre non au niveau de chaque création participant de la franchise (livres, films, produits dérivés…), mais au niveau de la franchise elle-même, peut alors être avancée.
