Published: September 2023

The purpose of this research is to study plant-based kenaf adsorbents on the adsorption of polluted Pb (II) in aqueous solutions. CHT and KNF core powder were added to the sodium alginate solution and stirred homogeneously. The blend solution was dripped into calcium chloride to form smooth magnetic KNF-CHT-ALG beads. The functional group presence in the beads and percentage adsorption of the heavy metals were checked using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Inductively Coupling Method analyses, respectively. It was found that the surface morphology of kenaf core was rougher than that of kenaf fibre, with the presence of a larger amount of micropores as observed in the FESEM analysis. In addition, the FTIR pattern of the KNF-CHT-ALG beads had shown the existence of functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl, which could attract more positively charged heavy metals. The ICP analysis confirmed the successful 95% adsorption of the heavy metals. Kenaf is an abundant crop available in Malaysia that may reduce the production cost of the adsorbents. The significant outcomes of this study would be its contribution to minimising the dependency on the chemical adsorbent and to accelerating the removal process of heavy metals in real water bodies. Thus, this study aims to create a more sustainable future, especially by reaching SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.

Authors: Batcha Srisailam  , Katkoori Sreeram Reddy  , Ganji Narender  , Bala Siddhulu Malga
Published: September 2023

A numerical investigation is performed for the MHD viscous nanofluid due to convective stretching. Heat and mass transfer are investigated for steady, viscous dissipations and chemical reactions. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into an arrangement of the non-linear ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformation. Utilising the shooting method, the system of ordinary differential equations has been solved with the help of the computational language FORTRAN to compute the numerical results. The numerical solution obtained for the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles has been presented through graphs for different choices of physical parameters. The numerical values of the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers have also been presented and analysed through tables.
Experimental and CFD Resistance Validation of Naval Combatant DTMB 5415-51 Model
Authors: Alaaeldeen Mohamed Elhadad  , Ahmed Mokhtar Abo El-Ela
Published: September 2023

The hull model of the surface combatant DTMB 5415 has been selected as a recommended benchmark naval ship for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) validation for resistance analysis. CFD is used to present a method for predicting surface combatant ship resistance. The resistance calculations of a 3 m DTMB 5415 hull model was compared using experimental and CFD techniques. The bare hull shape experiments were set up and carried out at the towing tank facilities at the Military Technical College's Hydrodynamic Laboratory in Egypt. A benchmark test will ensure that the equipment, procedures, and estimates of uncertainty are adequate. For the purpose of model validation, CFD calculations for a DTMB 5415-51 model are performed using three different mesh sizes for Froude numbers ranging from 0.10 to 0.40. For the same Froude numbers and free model conditions, results from towing tank experiments on the model's resistance, sinkage, and trim are presented. The numerical simulations are quantitatively consistent. The numerical results are compared in terms of wave field and resistance coefficients to determine the accuracy of the solution parameters. As evidenced by the resistance curves, the experimental investigation appears to provide very good agreement, indicating that the CFD model is capable of simulating the steady flow around a ship hull with acceptable accuracy and can thus be used as a supplement to laboratory model tests for ship design and ship hydrodynamic research.

La caficultura y el mercado del carbono, retos y oportunidades
Authors: Hernández-Restrepo Raúl Jaime
Published: September 2023

El cambio climático global se atribuye generalmente a la concentración en la atmósfera de los llamados “gases de efecto invernadero” (GEI), entre los cuales se encuentran: dióxido de carbono (CO2), óxido nitroso (N2O), metano (CH4) y ozono (O3). La creciente preocupación sobre los efectos potencialmente desastrosos del cambio climático en varias regiones del mundo, se está enfrentando con la incapacidad de muchos países de reducir localmente sus emisiones netas de gases de invernadero, en las cantidades requeridas por el Protocolo de Kioto. La Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas para el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC) ha propuesto la adaptación y mitigación como estrategias para luchar contra este problema medioambiental. Ello consiste en reducir las fuentes y/o aumentar los sumideros de carbono. Es así como, los mercados de carbono son un espacio donde los países, las empresas y las personas, pueden compensar sus emisiones mediante la adquisición de certificados de reducción de emisiones de Gases de Efecto Invernadero (GEI) obtenidos mediante proyectos de MDL, siendo las plantaciones forestales y agroforestales una de estas alternativas. La caficultura colombiana tiene un potencial de participar activamente de estos mercados, bien sea en la disminución de las emisiones, como en la captura de CO2. Sin embargo, existe un gran desconocimiento del funcionamiento de estos mercados y de las verdaderas posibilidades para los caficultores. En el seminario daremos un contexto general a esta temática.
Impacto de la madurez del fruto en las fermentaciones prolongadas del mucílago de café
Authors: Osorio Valentina
Published: September 2023

La calidad del café inicia en la planta donde las características de los frutos definen la composición de los precursores químicos, que se pueden conservar o transformar mediante los diferentes tipos de procesamiento poscosecha. El procesamiento tiene como fin convertir los frutos en granos de café seco, conservando sus características, influyendo en la diversidad de los descriptores sensoriales y evitando pérdidas del producto. Actualmente existen muchas variaciones y combinaciones de las etapas del procesamiento con el fin de generar perfiles sensoriales diferenciados de la bebida. Las variaciones de las características físicas, químicas y sensoriales del café comienzan por los distintos estados de maduración, que incluyen los inmaduros y sobremaduros y es allí donde se han evidenciado diferencias con respecto al fruto maduro. Dentro de este rango también existe una amplia gama de propiedades. En este seminario se mostrarán los resultados de la caracterización del rango de madurez en el que el fruto de café puede clasificarse como maduro y los estados que permiten la máxima calidad sensorial, sin que el fruto inicie su etapa de senescencia. Asimismo, se abordará el efecto en la calidad final del grano cuando se utilizan estos estados de madurez en la fermentación prolongada del mucílago.

Authors: Rendón José Raúl
Published: September 2023

La densidad de siembra o número de árboles por hectárea, es una de las variables de mayor peso entre los factores determinantes de la productividad del cultivo de café. Recientes resultados de investigaciones desarrolladas por la Disciplina de Fitotecnia de Cenicafé, para la evaluación de la densidad de siembra con las variedades de café desarrolladas, considerando el porte de la planta, la adaptación a las condiciones de las zonas cafeteras y los sistemas de producción, demuestran que en Colombia la mayor productividad se alcanza con densidades de siembra entre 8.000 y 10.000 plantas/ha con variedades de porte intermedio y bajo. En este seminario se presentarán los principales avances y las ventajas de la adopción de las densidades de siembra adecuadas, como estrategia que impacta la productividad a largo plazo en la caficultura.

Introduction: Healthcare-associated infections are concerning adverse events and hand hygiene is considered an essential preventive measure. The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of a correct 3-step hand hygiene technique on reducing of potentially pathogenic microorganisms on hands related to the WHO five moments for hand hygiene.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was performed by means of direct observation involving 60 Intensive Care Units (ICU) and clinical nursing professionals in a Brazilian hospital. Observations were performed in order to ascertain the adherence rate and the correct technique during health assistance. Additionally, microbiological analysis of material collected from the nursing professional’s hands was carried out. Exploratory and inferential analyses were performed on R software and binomial analysis was carried out by using the Z-test. The study was approved by the research ethics committee and covered all the legal principles for the protection of human subjects.
Results: Hand hygiene adherence rate was 63.3%. However, only 13.3% of the professionals performed the correct 3-step hand hygiene technique regarding steps and time. Sixty-five microorganisms were isolated, among which 56.9% were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, 26.2% were Gram-negative bacilli, 7.7% were Enterococcus faecalis, and 6.2% were Candida parapsilosis. There was no presence of potentially pathogenic microorganisms on the nursing professional’s hands who performed the correct three-step technique.
Conclusions: Overall correct hand hygiene technique was poor. The results indicated the presence of potentially pathogenic microorganisms at moments in which hand hygiene was mandatory but was not executed or was executed incorrectly. The 3-step hand hygiene technique proved to be effective when correctly performed since there were no microorganism growth. Larger studies are needed to test if these results can be replicated at a larger scale, since streamlining hand hygiene technique yielded encouraging results.

Introduction: Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) level increases in inflammatory conditions. We aimed to investigate the association between IMA levels and the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in adult patients.
Methodology: We grouped adult patients with COVID-19 infection: Group A - mild symptoms, but normal computed tomography (CT), Group B - mild/moderate illness, and Group C - severe or critical illness. We measured IMA levels at the time of diagnosis of COVID-19 infection.
Results: Mean age of the total number of patients (n = 90) was 54.43 (± 8.11) year, and 46.7% (n = 42) were female. IMA levels were highest in Group C and lowest in A (p < 0.001). The most important factor predicting COVID-19 disease severity was IMA. Type 2 diabetes was more frequent in Group C (n = 31) than in Group B (n = 30) (p = 0.042). Asthma was less frequent, and coronary artery disease was more frequent in Group C than in Group A (n = 29) and B (p = 0.009). Duration of hospitalization was highest in Group C (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: We analyzed a sample of patients with COVID-19 infection and found that IMA predicted severe COVID-19 disease. Disease severity grouping was based on patients' clinical and radiological features. IMA level measured when SARS-CoV-2 infection is diagnosed may be a useful marker in predicting likely disease severity or intensive care need.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are common organisms associated with urinary tract infections. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on antibiotics misuse globally. This study analyzed the antibiotic susceptibility for these two pathogens isolated from urine samples during the period of 18 months before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in Al-Karak government referral and teaching hospital in Jordan. The study included two groups; group A included urine samples from September 2018 to March 11, 2020, while group B from March 12, 2020 to August 2021. Samples were analyzed using the automated VITEK 2 system and the analysis of results was done using the WHONET version 5.6.
Results: A total of 642 E. coli and 113 K. pneumoniae were isolated and analyzed. The antibiogram showed a significant overall increase in antibiotic susceptibility of both bacteria during the pandemic period (group B). The sensitivity has significantly increased by 75% (15/20) and 50% (10/20) for all antibiotics used for E. coli and K. pneumoniae respectively. On the other hand, E. coli showed a significant increase in resistance to ceftriaxone (13.4%) and gentamicin (6.4%). A similar trend of an increase in resistance to gentamicin (17.4%) was also noticed among K. pneumoniae isolates.
Conclusions: The antimicrobial susceptibility pattern for urine isolates showed an increased overall sensitivity and an increased resistance to ceftriaxone and gentamicin during the pandemic period. Our results highlight the need for revising and updating the antimicrobial stewardship programs post-COVID pandemic utilizing local data.

Combining Camera Trap Data and Environmental Data to Estimate the Effects of Environmental Gradients on Abundance of the Asian Elephant Elephas maximus in Cambodia
Authors: Thaung Ret , Frechette Jackson , Luskin Matthew , Amir Zachary
Published: September 2023

Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) populations in Cambodia are currently declining, and the effect of environmental degradation on the abundance and health of elephants is poorly understood. We used camera trap data from 42 locations between 2016 to 2020 in the southern Cardamom Mountains to investigate the impact of environmental degradation on the abundance and condition of Asian elephants. Camera trap data were organized using CameraSweet software to retrieve both number of individuals and their condition. For a number of individuals, we defined independent captures spatially and temporally. To assess condition, we created a visual scoring system based on past research (Wemmer et al. 2006, Fernando et al. 2009, Morfeld et al. 2014, Wijeyamohan et al. 2014, Morfeld et al. 2016, Schiffmann et al. 2020). This scoring system relies on visual assessment of the muscle and fat in relation to the pelvis, ribs, and back bone. To validate this subjective scoring system, two scorers reviewed elephant captures by using 10 reference photos and then reviewing each other’s assessment in the first five images showing the elephant's body condition. This method minimizes subjective assessment from two scorers. Environmental variables (Suppl. material 1) such as distance to forest edge, forest integrity index, elevation, global human settlements, distance to road, distance to river, night light and forest cover were obtained, then reclassified in ArcGIS to a common 1 km grid. We implemented hierarchical N-mixture models to investigate the impacts of environmental variables on abundance and used cumulative link models to investigate the impact of the same environmental variables on condition. We found that Asian elephant abundance exhibited a significant positive relationship with distance to forest edges, where abundance was greater further away from a forest edge. We found that body condition score exhibited the relationship with forest cover and Forest Landscape Integrity Index, which suggested that grassland and less dense forest support better condition. Moreover, males exhibited significantly higher scores for body condition than females, while babies, juveniles, and subadults all exhibited lower body condition scores compared to adults. The significantly lower body condition of young elephants is concerning and suggests that conservation managers in the region should prioritize environmental conditions that support young elephant health. Our results identify key environmental variables that appear to promote Asian elephant abundance and health in the Cardamom Mountains, thus informing relevant conservation actions to support this endangered species in Cambodia and beyond.

Published: September 2023

The Swedish Biodiversity Data Infrastructure (SBDI) is a biodiversity informatics infrastructure and is the key national resource for data-driven biodiversity and ecosystems research. SBDI rests on three pillars:

mobilisation and access to biodiversity data;

development and operation of tools for analysing these data; and

user support. SBDI is funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR) and eleven of Sweden’s major universities and research government authorities (Fig. 1).

mobilisation and access to biodiversity data;

development and operation of tools for analysing these data; and

user support. SBDI is funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR) and eleven of Sweden’s major universities and research government authorities (Fig. 1).

SBDI was formed in early 2021 and represents the final step in an amalgamation of national infrastructures for biodiversity and ecosystems research. SBDI includes the Swedish node of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the key international infrastructure for sharing biodiversity data.

SBDI's predecessor Biodiversity Atlas Sweden (BAS) was an early adopter of the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) platform. SBDI pioneered the container-based deployment of the platform using Docker and Docker Swarm. This container-based approach helps simplify deployment of the platform, which is characterised by a microservice architecture with loosely coupled services. This enables scalability, modularity, integration of services, and new technology insertions.

SBDI has customised the BioCollect module to remove region-specific constraints so that it can be more readily improved for environmental monitoring in Sweden. To further support this, there are plans to develop services for the distribution of terrestrial map layers, which will provide important habitat information for artificial intelligence and machine learning research projects.

The Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs) portal, an interface to sequence-based observations, is an example of integration and new technology insertion. The portal developed in SBDI and seamlessly integrated with the ALA platform provides basic functionalities for searching ASVs and occurrence records using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) or filters on sequencing details and taxonomy and for submitting metabarcoding dataset Fig. 2.

Future developments for SBDI include a continued focus on eDNA and monitoring data as well as the implementation of procedures for handling sensitive data.

Published: September 2023

A new species of freshwater mussel belonging to the genus Pseudocuneopsis, namely Pseudocuneopsis wuanasp. nov., is diagnosed and described from Guangxi Province, China. This paper provides a detailed shell morphological description, soft-body anatomical characteristics, and partial sequences of mitochondrial COI as DNA barcode data for the novel species. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners (Pseudocuneopsis sichuanensis, P. yangshuoensis, and P. capitata) by shell shape, beak position, and surface sculpture. Phylogenetic analyses based on the mitochondrial COI gene reveal that Pseudocuneopsis wuanasp. nov. forms a sister group with P. yangshuoensis and exhibits an interspecific genetic distance of 5.1%. Therefore, we provide robust morphological and molecular evidence to support the validity of this new species.

Puisqu’agir avec le droit c’est également agir sur le droit, nous verrons comment leur présence dans cet espace représente aussi bien une violence pour eux et elles-mêmes qu’une opportunité pour les travailleurs et travailleuses qu’ils et elles se proposent de défendre. Nous verrons enfin comment leur action permet de questionner l’espace juridique et l’accès à la défense.
Mise en récit de la vulnérabilité et accès aux droits sociaux
Authors: Leresche Frédérique
Published: September 2023

Cet article traite de la mise en récit des situations de vulnérabilité comme mode d’accès aux prestations sociales. Il montre que les droits sociaux sont conditionnés par des critères d’accès et de maintien dans la prestation qui sont traversés de normes, notamment celle d’apporter la preuve d’être un ou une bon·ne pauvre. L’article pose l’hypothèse que la mise en récit des situations spécifiques dans le cadre de recours administratifs ou juridiques pour accéder à des prestations s’apparente à une forme de résistance face au pouvoir symbolique et institutionnel de l’État.
Le CIC et Haïti (1875-1910)
Authors: Stoskopf Nicolas
Published: September 2023

D’après un article paru dans le New York Times en mai 2022, le Crédit industriel et commercial (CIC) aurait tiré « d’immenses profits » d’Haïti au xix e  siècle par l’intermédiaire d’un « tourbillon de dettes » et de sa créature, la Banque nationale d’Haïti (BNH). Face à ce réquisitoire, il convient d’établir les faits. Le CIC ne signe aucun des quatre contrats d’emprunts émis par Haïti sur le marché français au xix e  siècle. S’il se charge de l’émission de l’emprunt de 1875, celle-ci est finalement annulée par l’initiative concurrente du Crédit général français. Quant à la BNH, créée en 1881 par le CIC en partenariat avec la Banque franco-égyptienne, ce n’est pas en soi une source de profits pour le CIC qui ne souscrit que 4,6 % de son capital et qui ne la contrôle pas davantage que les banques qu’il a créées en province. L’exercice du métier de banque de dépôts, très différent de celui d’une banque d’affaires, ne donne pas au CIC les moyens de « faire main basse sur Haïti ».
Défendre le « crédit » du billet : la Banque de France face aux opérations d’échange monétaire à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale
Authors: Teixeira Matéo
Published: September 2023

À la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, dans un contexte de risque inflationniste, Pierre Mendès France propose un projet déflationniste d’échange des billets avec retenue d’une partie de ceux-ci. La Banque de France a souvent été présentée comme opposée à ce projet, au nom de ses convictions libérales. Cet article montre que la Banque de France s’est opposée à trois autres projets d’échange pourtant très différents. Cela permet de proposer de nouvelles explications de l’opposition de la Banque à Mendès France : la préservation du « crédit » de son billet et du prestige de l’institution.
Chapitre 7. Un regard de généticien
Authors: Calvas Patrick
Published: September 2023

Examinée au travers du regard du généticien, les modifications de la loi de bioéthique, semblent relativement modestes en ce qui concerne l’encadrement des pratiques de sa discipline. L’introduction de règles concernant l’utilisation des algorithmes dans la pratique médicale est le point véritablement nouveau. Il apparaissait nécessaire de prendre en compte « l’immixtion de machines pensantes » dans la décision médicale et d’initier les contours d’un encadrement. Nous en débattrons les termes et les modalités. Des précisions apportées à l’obligation de l’information à la parentèle de l’existence d’une anomalie génétique se définissent autour du concept de solidarité. Sans négliger ce dernier, nous viendrons rappeler d’autres déterminants, la complexité et les enjeux sous-jacents à la délivrance d’informations génétiques prédictives et les risques que peuvent encourir les personnes informées. Il nous apparaît opportun de considérer aussi les tensions éthiques qui peuvent s’imposer au médecin précipité dans l’obligation d’information
Contribution des discours de familles d’aidants à la prise en charge institutionnelle de l’aidant

Dans le cadre d’une recherche sur la figure de l’aidant des malades d’Alzheimer comprenant la constitution d’un corpus d’entretiens avec des aidants, ces derniers ont souvent manifesté la volonté d’associer plusieurs membres de leur famille à ce projet, nous imposant une représentation familialement structurée de l’aidance, discordante par rapport à celle du statut d’aidant unique configuré par la loi. Nous proposons dans cette contribution d’explorer cette alternative telle qu’elle est discursivement construite par ces informateurs. En adoptant une démarche relevant de la sémantique discursive et un positionnement en analyse du discours critique, nous montrons à partir de la confrontation au sein d’un corpus de données hétérogènes d’entretiens d’aidants « individuels », d’autres impliqués dans une organisation d’aide familiale et le discours médiatique sur l’aidance, le contre-poids que ces intervenants construisent.
De la douleur à la colère : mise en discours des émotions et travail thérapeutique
Authors: Salazar-Orvig Anne , Grossen Michèle , Meystre Claudia
Published: September 2023

Au-delà de ses multiples formes, la psychothérapie accorde une place centrale à l’expression des émotions. Dans les approches basées sur la parole, le travail du thérapeute consiste à opérer sur la parole du patient de sorte à provoquer chez celui-ci un retour réflexif sur son expérience. Procédant à une analyse dialogique d’une séance de psychothérapie, cette étude porte sur la mise en discours des émotions et leur circulation dans le dialogue. Suivant le devenir d’un thème récurrent (la colère ), elle montre comment, dans ce travail de co-construction, des zones de divergences amènent la patiente à adopter un point de vue différent sur son vécu psychique. En conclusion, nous soulignons l’importance de documenter les pratiques des professionnels pour assurer le développement professionnel et, partant, la qualité des soins.
« Les dons n’existent pas ! » : histoire d’une lutte
Authors: Bonnéry Stéphane
Published: September 2023

Le grand article de Lucien Sève, « Les dons n’existent pas », a marqué une génération. Paru en octobre 1964 dans L’École et la Nation , revue du PCF, il a engendré des campagnes d’idées et d’action, contribuant à un projet de réforme alternatif à la politique gaulliste. Pourtant, il a failli ne pas être publié. Revenir sur le contexte économique et politique de sa création permet de comprendre les réticences qu’il a suscitées, et les raisons qui ont ensuite conduit à le consacrer.
Rationalité et compréhension des croyances passées. Staline face à Barbarossa
Authors: Ouzilou Olivier
Published: September 2023

Cet article porte sur les conditions méthodologiques de compréhension des croyances en sciences sociales. Selon une certaine tradition épistémologique, l’attribution de rationalité aux agents est une condition nécessaire à l’explication compréhensive de leurs attitudes et actions. Cet article évalue cette idée en interrogeant le rôle d’une telle attribution dans la manière dont certains historiens et politistes ont tenté de comprendre l’erreur d’appréciation stalinienne concernant l’imminence de l’attaque allemande. Après avoir explicité l’approche poppérienne du principe de rationalité, je définis son équivalent doxastique : l’hypothèse de rationalité épistémique. J’examine ensuite la manière dont ces travaux mobilisent puis réfutent cette hypothèse.
Nouvelles réflexions sur la violence et la destructivité dans les groupes
Authors: Kaës René
Published: September 2023

L’auteur développe dans une version nouvelle un article publié en 2007 sur la violence et la destructivité dans les groupes. Le groupe facilite-t-il les mouvements pulsionnels destructeurs ? Il fonctionnerait pour ses sujets membres comme un désinhibiteur des interdits et des mécanismes défensifs et, par conséquent, il pourrait être le lieu et le moyen du déchaînement de leur capacité de détruire. Cette approche envisage le problème du point de vue du sujet. Il reste à porter l’analyse sur la violence et la destructivité produite par l’être ensemble en groupe. La question se formule alors ainsi : comment penser les rapports entre l’espace intrapsychique, l’espace psychique groupal et l’espace social ? La réponse est beaucoup plus complexe. Plusieurs exemples cliniques permettent de repérer ces articulations. L’auteur développe la distinction entre les formes ordinaires, structurantes, et radicales, dévastatrices, de la violence et la destructivité. Il prend appui sur ses recherches sur le malêtre dans la culture contemporaine pour examiner comment la violence et la destructivité se manifestent dans les sociétés post-modernes. Il introduit la notion de pacte dénégatif pervers pour qualifier le maniement de la surviolence qui oblige la victime à se reconnaître à l’origine de la violence.
La violence, résonance traumatique entre sujet et société
Authors: Duparc François
Published: September 2023

La violence, dans son expression la plus courante, est une prédominance de l’acte sur la pensée. Le recours à l’agir de la part des impatients, des psychopathes ou autres états-limites est un moyen de décharge de l’excitation, du fait d’une inscription insuffisante de leur lien à l’objet et d’un manque de représentation suffisante de leur désir. La résonance entre ces carences d’élaboration psychique de l’individu et celles de la pensée groupale, est à l’origine d’idéologies pathologiques. Des pathologies collectives de l’idéal, qui peuvent conduire à la violence, la guerre, l’intégrisme religieux ou un retour aux formes totalitaires de l’autorité. À l’inverse, une bonne combativité, l’affrontement constructif des différences est une forme utile qui ne conduit pas à la violence, mais à l’amour, au travail, et à la créativité. De même, une démocratie qui contient tous les fantasmes originaires, sous leur forme élaborée et collective – liberté, égalité, fraternité et respect de la loi –, peut se battre contre la violence, sans destruction excessive.
Textual analysis of climate risk disclosures in 10-k filings using named-entity recognition
Authors: Castro Herrera Diana
Published: September 2023

Une analyse des informations sur les risques climatiques contenues dans les documents 10-K déposés entre 2010 et 2018 a été réalisée. Je constate que davantage d’entreprises cotées au S&P 500 divulguent des risques climatiques tout au long de la période d’échantillonnage, mais que le niveau de spécificité est faible. La reconnaissance des entités nommées (NER) est employée pour capturer la spécificité des divulgations. Ce document examine également la spécificité des informations sur les risques de transition et les risques physiques, ainsi que les différences entre les secteurs d’activité.
Rock strength degradation induced by salt precipitation: A new mechanical mechanism of sand production in ultra-deep fractured tight sandstone gas reservoirs
Authors: Zhang Dujie
Published: September 2023

I take a typical ultra-deep tight sandstone gas reservoir located in Tarim Basin as an example to investigate the rare sand production problem. The situation of sand production was presented, and then conventional analyses were conducted. Six tight sandstone core plugs were selected to conduct rock mechanical tests before and after salt precipitation. Ultimately, a mathematical model was established to investigate the mechanism of rock strength degradation. The results of sand production prediction indicated that sand production from rock skeletons should never appear, but the rock skeletons was observed in the sand samples, and thus the impact of salt precipitation was taken into account. The experiments proved salt precipitation caused a degradation in rock strength, and the difference between actual- and predicted critical sand production pressure drop based on the weakened rock strength reduced significantly. Furthermore, the stress intensity factor on the fracture tip induced by salt precipitation reached up to 1.22 MPa·m1/2, which was greater than the fracture toughness of tight sandstone, and it was used to explain the rock strength degradation. The results are helpful to the knowledge of the sand production problem in ultra-deep fractured tight sandstone gas reservoirs.
On the time decay for a thermoelastic laminated beam with microtemperature effects, nonlinear weight, and nonlinear time-varying delay

Published: September 2023

This article examines the joint impacts of microtemperature, nonlinear structural damping, along with nonlinear time-varying delay term, and time-varying coefficient on a thermoelastic laminated beam, where, the equation representing the dynamics of slip is affected by the last three mentioned terms. A general decay result was established regarding the system concerned given equal wave speeds and particular assumptions related to nonlinear terms.
Poetika slovenske slovstvene folklore
Authors: Stanonik Marija
Published: September 2023

The monograph is a pioneer work in Slovenia on the three types of poetics of folk creation, i.e. sound, image and composition. The work shows how Slovenian (folk) man responds to reality on a linguistic-aesthetic level, how he names, narrates and at the same time helps to shape it. The first chapter is devoted to sound poetics, e.g., the translation and folk meaning of birdcalls and bells; in the chapter on visual poetics, the author discusses the perception and representation of space, fairy-tale creatures, colours, numbers; in the last chapter on composition, she emphasises the importance of the category of time and the logic of the formation of beginnings and endings in narrative, especially in Kračman's fairy tales and the individual poetics of Gašper Križnik. Using a very diverse and rich material, the author illustrates the extraordinary metaphorical abilities of the Slovenian people and proves that even grammatical folklore has its own aesthetic laws, or as she says in her conclusion, "... in grammatical folklore - if it is the art of spoken language! - there is always an aesthetic function as well."
Phytosociological analysis of submontane beech forestsin the upper part of Nadiža (Natisone) Valley in the Breginjski Kot (Julian Alps, northwestern Slovenia, northeastern Italy)
Authors: Dakskobler Igor , Pavlin Marko
Published: September 2023

We conducted a phytosociological analysis of submontane beech forests on calcareous-silicate bedrock at the upper course of the Nadiža River and its tributaries (the brooks of Beli Potok / Rio Bianco, Črni Potok / Rio Nero, Plazi Potok, Globotnik, Legrada / Lerada, Jamnik / Jamjak, Veliki Potok). Based on comparisons with similar beech communities in geographically closer areas we classified them into the new association Polysticho braunii-Fagetum sylvaticae. The new association was subdivided into five subassociations: luzuletosum luzuloidis, stellarietosum montanae, typicum, caricetosum albae and saxifragetosum cuneifolii. The beech stands at the village of Staro Selo and several beech stands at Podbela were classified into the association Ornithogalo pyrenaici-Fagetum.

Fitocenološko smo raziskali submontanske bukove gozdove na karbonatno-silikatni geološki podlagi ob zgornjem teku reke Nadiže in njenih pritokov (Beli potok / Rio Bianco, Črni potok / Rio Nero, Plazi potok, Globotnik, Legrada / Lerada,  Jamnik / Jamjak, Veliki potok) in jih na podlagi primerjav s podobnimi bukovimi združbami v geografsko bližnjih območjih uvrstili v novo asociacijo Polysticho braunii-Fagetum sylvaticae. Členili smo jo v pet subasociacij: luzuletosum luzuloidis, stellarietosum montanae, typicum, caricetosum albae in saxifragetosum cuneifolii. V asociacijo Ornithogalo pyrenaici-Fagetum smo uvrstili bukove sestoje pri Starem selu in nekatere bukove sestoje pri Podbeli.
