I Walked With a Zombie
Authors: Dawson Clive
Published: January 2024

I Walked with a Zombie (1943), Val Lewton's second feature for RKO Radio Pictures, was described by critic Robin Wood as 'perhaps the most delicate poetic fantasy in the American Cinema.' Following immediately in the wake of the groundbreaking Cat People (1942), Zombie pioneered an even more radical narrative approach yet proved to be the critical and commercial equal of its predecessor, cementing the reputation of both Lewton and his director, Jacques Tourneur. Despite the lurid, studio-imposed title, Zombie is a subtle and ambiguous female gothic thriller that advanced a daring condemnation of slavery and colonialism at a time when such themes were being suppressed by government censors. Clive Dawson charts the complex development and production of the project, essential to understanding the concerns of the filmmakers in the context of wartime Hollywood, then analyses the film in detail, referencing a broad range of academic studies of the audio-visual text and distilling new insight into its layers of meaning. Finally, he explores the film's reception, and the influence it exerted on the horror genre and beyond. Extensive primary research has uncovered a wealth of previously unpublished new material that solves many unanswered questions and dispels various myths about this utterly unique film.
A Pseudodifferential Analytic Perspective on Getzler's Rescaling
Authors:   Lebanese University, Lebanon, Habib Georges , Paycha Sylvie ,   Universität Potsdam, Germany
Published: January 2024

Inspired by Gilkey's invariance theory, Getzler's rescaling method and Scott's approach to the index via Wodzicki residues, we give a localisation formula for the $\mathbb Z_2$-graded Wodzicki residue of the logarithm of a class of differential operators acting on sections of a spinor bundle over an even-dimensional manifold. This formula is expressed in terms of another local density built from the symbol of the logarithm of a limit of rescaled differential operators acting on differential forms. When applied to complex powers of the square of a Dirac operator, it amounts to expressing the index of a Dirac operator in terms of a local density involving the logarithm of the Getzler rescaled limit of its square.
EXPLORING THE DRIVING MECHANISM AND PATH OF BIM FOR GREEN BUILDINGS
Authors: Yang Yuntao , Zhao Bin , Liu Qingli
Published: January 2024

Despite green building and BIM technology being hot spots in the construction industry, most research remains at the technical level. Leading to exploring the fundamental driving reason and mechanism of BIM for green buildings is still lacking. This paper explored BIM’s impact mechanism and driving path on green buildings from the management’s perspective to fill this gap. Based on a literature review, 18 expert interviews, and three case studies of green buildings, the influence mechanism was analysed via a qualitative method (ISM). Then, the importance of driving factors was evaluated via quantitative analysis (ANP). Specifically, this study probed the driving path by combining qualitative and quantitative analysis (ISM-ANP). The research findings show that the driving force of BIM for green buildings comes from the fundamental factor layer and is transferred to the intermediate and direct factors layer. The critical driving path of BIM for green building is to promote the visualization of building information, collaborative management, and expand real estate investment through the guidance of policies and standards. Based on research results, this paper puts forward five suggestions: 1) Improving the policy and standard system; 2) Striving to research native software; 3) Adopting an informatization project management mode; 4) Accelerating the construction and improvement of the green building industry chain; 5) Promoting government enterprise cooperation. These results may benefit not only the coupling and coordination of the two but also the construction industry’s green transformation and high-quality development.
Two new species of Hypodontolaiminae (Nematoda, Chromadorida, Chromadoridae) from the Yellow Sea with a phylogenetic analysis in the subfamily
Authors: Liang Huixin , Guo Wen , Wang Chunming
Published: January 2024

Two new species of Hypodontolaiminae, Dichromadora mediasp. nov. and Neochromadora parabilineatasp. nov., were isolated and described from the Yellow Sea, China. Dichromadora mediasp. nov. is characterized by four long cephalic setae, the amphidial fovea transverse oval in the male and slit-shaped in the female, the pharynx with a single posterior bulb, spicules curved and distally bifurcated, gubernaculum jointed, four (1+3) precloacal supplements papilliform, and the tail conical elongated with a short spinneret. Neochromadora parabilineatasp. nov. is characterized by the buccal cavity with one large hollow dorsal tooth and two small subventral teeth, the pharynx with an obvious posterior bulb, spicules L-shaped and widened medially, gubernaculum boat-shaped, seven cup-shaped and equidistant precloacal supplements, and a long and gradually tapering tail. The phylogenetic analysis of maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference based on rDNA sequences confirmed the taxonomic positions of Neochromadora parabilineatasp. nov. and Dichromadora mediasp. nov. within Hypodontolaiminae. Tree topology in Hypodontolaiminae shows the genera Neochromadora, Dichromadora, Ptycholaimellus, and Spilophorella as polyphyletic groups, and the genus Chromadorita as a paraphyletic group.
Le besoin de vaincre
Authors: Tournier Jacques
Published: January 2024

Parce que le déploiement de l’univers et le processus d’évolution qui en résulte sont travaillés par des jeux aléatoires de forces violentes, l’existence des créatures vivantes, donc celle des êtres humains, revêt une dimension de combat. Leur nature d’animal désirant confère une acuité singulière au besoin qu’ont les hommes de vaincre, mais les invite aussi à en maîtriser les ressorts en faisant l’apprentissage du renoncement à leur soif de domination.
Entre force et consentement. De Gramsci à la « communication stratégique » américaine
Authors: Barry John Christopher
Published: January 2024

Après leurs victoires sur les puissances de l’Axe en 1945, les États-Unis sont devenus hégémon à l’échelle du globe, se posant en gardiens de la liberté du monde. Or, si on suit Gramsci, toute hégémonie est « cuirassée de coercition ». Aujourd’hui, alors que l’Amérique ne gagne plus de guerres majeures, le Pentagone mise sur la « communication stratégique », un champ de bataille cognitif, pour vaincre sur le terrain et dans les opinions.
Le roi et les Écorcheurs
Authors: Furon Christophe
Published: January 2024

En 1435, la signature de la paix d’Arras met fin au conflit entre Charles VII, roi de France, et Philippe le Bon, duc de Bourgogne. En faisant cesser les opérations militaires françaises contre les territoires bourguignons, ce traité laisse de nombreux hommes de guerre sans emploi. Pour subsister, ces derniers se livrent alors à toutes sortes de pillages dans le royaume de France et sur ses marges. C’est la réforme militaire instituant les compagnies d’ordonnance qui met fin au phénomène en 1445. Au final, au terme d’un processus complexe et semé d’obstacles, l’Écorcherie permet à Charles VII de réaffirmer et de renforcer son autorité, non seulement sur les gens de guerre et leurs capitaines, mais aussi sur des princes récalcitrants.
Que faire des vaincus ?
Authors: Gayme Évelyne
Published: January 2024

La gestion des soldats vaincus doit s’envisager à deux moments clés : pendant et après la guerre. Durant les combats, et ce quelle que soit l’époque, il s’agit de les désarmer et de les neutraliser sans freiner l’offensive ni mobiliser trop d’hommes pour leur garde. Ils peuvent aussi permettre d’obtenir des informations, une rançon, de la main-d’œuvre. Ils sont donc rarement exécutés. Après le conflit, la question est de transformer la victoire militaire en victoire politique et en paix dont la durabilité dépend pour l’essentiel du degré de sévérité et d’humiliation imposé aux perdants.
De Tombouctou à Balard, « un seul but : la victoire ! »
Authors: Barrera Bernard
Published: January 2024

In a soldier’s mind, the sole objective of both their commitment and preparation is victory. Over the course of their career, they may be brought to experience victory in several forms: victory on the front, and victory in the rear. Though the former may be more emblematic, as it is the final accomplishment of military undertakings, it is only made possible through planning and the organic procedures that take place in the silence of the barracks and headquarters. What’s more, victory in arms is only possible if leaders enjoy solid support from their men. What, then, does victory truly entail? An answer can be found in the success of France’s “Operation Serval”.
Les Athéna en guerre. Noms, espaces et pratiques rituelles
Authors: Paillard Anastasia
Published: January 2024

Si l’on considère l’ensemble des divinités qui composent le polythéisme hellénique, la guerre est un domaine en partie circonscrit à Athéna. Partageant cette prérogative avec Arès, elle interviendrait plutôt comme stratège car détentrice de la mètis , l’intelligence rusée, souvent confondue avec la sagesse. Or l’aspect martial de la déesse n’a pas fait l’objet d’une attention majeure dans les études sur la religion grecque. Cet aspect mérite d’être examiné au prisme de l’ensemble des données à disposition, qu’elles soient littéraires, épigraphiques et archéologiques, afin de déterminer les modes d’action d’Athéna en tant que divinité guerrière dans l’Antiquité, de l’époque archaïque à l’époque impériale.
La musique militaire, agent d’influence
Authors: Bouzard Thierry
Published: January 2024

La création des orchestres militaires ne remonte qu’à 1766, mais dès lors ceux-ci ont occupé une place considérable dans la vie culturelle française et internationale, constituant ce que l’on peut appeler un outil d’influence au service de la France. Aujourd’hui encore, ces orchestres, en particulier celui de la Garde républicaine, représentent la communauté nationale, et pas uniquement lorsque le cérémonial d’État nécessite sa présence. Retour sur une grande épopée culturelle.
La consolidation d’un nouvel ordre électoral ?
Authors: Gougou Florent
Published: January 2024

L’élection présidentielle et les élections législatives françaises de 2022 ont entériné les transformations larges et brutales des rapports de force électoraux identifiables depuis la victoire d’Emmanuel Macron en 2017, en particulier l’effondrement des deux anciens grands partis de gouvernement. En replaçant ces élections dans leur contexte historique et en utilisant le cadre de la théorie des réalignements, cet article montre que 2022 constitue très probablement le moment de consolidation d’un nouvel ordre électoral qui s’est cristallisé dans la séquence de 2017-2019. Les contours exacts de ce nouvel ordre électoral restent encore largement inconnus – seul le passage du temps permettra de les identifier.
COVID-19 et guerre en Ukraine
Authors: Michel Elie , Brouard Sylvain
Published: January 2024

Cet article examine l’impact des crises liées à la pandémie de Covid-19 et au déclenchement de la guerre en Ukraine sur le vote pour Emmanuel Macron au premier tour de l’élection présidentielle de 2022. Pour cela, il met à l’épreuve empirique deux théories établies des conséquences électorales des crises internationales : le vote rétrospectif et l’effet de ralliement au drapeau. Au moyen de données panélisées, cette contribution démontre la pertinence de ces deux mécanismes dans le contexte français de 2022. Bien que la pandémie de Covid-19 ait débuté plus de deux ans avant l’élection présidentielle, l’évaluation des politiques de gestion sanitaire et économique de cette crise reste déterminante pour comprendre le succès du président sortant. De plus, celui-ci a bien bénéficié électoralement – mais dans une moindre mesure – d’un effet drapeau lié à la guerre en Ukraine.
Les réseaux socionumériques dans la campagne présidentielle de 2022 en France
Authors: Neihouser Marie , Haute Tristan , von Nostitz Felix-Christopher , Sandri Giulia
Published: January 2024

Si l’utilisation des médias sociaux en période électorale a déjà fait l’objet de nombreuses études, il apparaît pertinent de prolonger ces recherches en raison notamment de l’émergence de nouvelles plateformes. À ce titre, nous proposons d’analyser, à partir d’une enquête post-électorale spécifique, les profils des citoyens qui utilisent les différents médias sociaux pour s’informer ou être actifs politiquement à l’occasion de la campagne présidentielle française de 2022. Nous montrons que les usages politiques des réseaux sociaux restent relativement minoritaires et dépendants tant de variables sociodémographiques que politiques, mais qu’il existe une certaine différenciation de ces usages en fonction des plateformes et des pratiques.
Qui parraine et pourquoi ?
Authors: Audemard Julien , Catlla Michel , Gouard David
Published: January 2024

Cet article analyse les facteurs et les motivations qui ont conduit les différentes catégories d’élus à parrainer ou non un candidat à l’élection présidentielle de 2022. À partir d’une enquête par questionnaires administrés aux élus habilités à parrainer, nos résultats révèlent que le refus du parrainage, en particulier chez les maires des petites communes, s’analyse d’abord comme l’expression d’une distance au champ politique partisan. Tandis que les candidats soutenus par les partis politiques traditionnels collectent leurs parrainages en s’appuyant sur la loyauté d’un vivier d’élus, les autres candidats se voient dans l’obligation de déployer d’importants efforts pour convaincre des élus réticents à afficher un soutien politique. La campagne des parrainages révèle, en creux, les inégalités de ressources mobilisables par les différents candidats.

Published: January 2024

This study proposes a pedagogical model for the creation and development of case studies, following a narrative scheme, that will allow the challenges and issues surrounding the megatrends of the 4th Industrial Revolution, specifically with the megatrend "People and the Internet". This proposal will be framed in an online learning environment, it has been designed as the second stage of the educational platform that will guide university students in the process of an ideathon to address the megatrends of the 4th Industrial Revolution. The aim of designing a model for creating case studies related to the megatrends is to foster complex thinking in university students, especially innovative thinking as one of the sub-competences of complex thinking. Fostering complex thinking highlights the importance of cognitive, practical and adaptive skills to address interdisciplinary challenges. The Design Process and Practice methodology and the case study methodology itself were used to develop the narrative case study design model. The outcome of this study adds a tangible dimension that enriches the debates on education and complex systems thinking in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Media and information literacy (MIL) and emerging methodologies in early childhood education and primary education degrees in Andalusia
Authors: Mendes Diego , Amar Victor
Published: January 2024

Since the 1980s, the growing consumption of media by various segments of the population has been of concern to education experts, who have warned of the need for teacher training to integrate Media and Information Literacy (MIL) in their curricula. In this article we analyse the curricular plans and teaching guides for subjects related to MIL in Early Childhood Education and Primary Education degrees in Andalusia. Through these documents, we seek to identify the presence of AMI in initial teacher training, its characteristics, potential and limits, as well as the emerging methodologies arising from the relationship between technology and education. In methodological terms, we conducted a quantitative analysis, using simple descriptive statistics, combined with a qualitative analysis, using the principles of content analysis, according to Bardin (1991). The data indicate that training for AMI is very uneven across the universities and courses analysed. Moreover, most of the subjects related to AMI are optional and deal mainly with aspects related to the presence of technology as a support for teaching, with little presence of emerging methodologies, which leads to a marginalisation of aesthetic training and critical training of future teachers for and with the media.
Language as a hermeneutic approach to emerging methodologies and technologies in higher education
Authors: Ibáñez Ayuso María José , Damiao María Helena
Published: January 2024

In recent years, the profusion of methodologies available to teachers, thanks to the advancement of emerging and converging technologies, has created significant educational opportunities, but it also poses new challenges. Among these is the need to train teachers to exercise solid pedagogical judgment when implementing these approaches in the classrooms. One of the difficulties in making these critical judgments is the introduction of commercial terms into academic discourses, which hinder the thinking and assessment of these advancements from an educational standpoint. Therefore, the objective of this research is to reclaim the educational meaning of certain concepts necessary to contemplate these emerging technical and pedagogical methods in the realm of higher education in the face of the reconfigurations these terms have undergone due to the influence of economic ideas introduced by supranational organizations into the collective educational imagination. With this goal in mind, three documents from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development under the "Horizon 2030" program are first analyzed to identify ideas and concepts that have been integrated into academic discourses. Subsequently, from a hermeneutic-interpretative perspective, the meaning of these terms is revisited from the university philosophy and pedagogy standpoint. The results of this research enable an understanding of the authentic educational significance of words like new, valuable, critical, democratization, active, autonomy, or study, among others, which are essential to approach emerging methodological advances and technological approaches from an educational perspective, detached from economic considerations.
Technology Use, Barriers, and Future Needs Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Authors: Sullivan Jessica , Kosuth Elizabeth
Published: January 2024

Purpose:

Social isolation and loneliness are social determinants of health (SDOH) that can negatively affect the well-being of older adults. Using technology has the potential to reduce social isolation; thus, increasing safe use of technology among older adults can positively impact their health and promote aging in place.

Method:

Older adults (
N
= 730) were surveyed regarding their use of, access and barriers to, satisfaction with, and anticipated future needs related to technology.

Results:

Survey respondents found technology was a significant resource for staying connected; however, low levels of satisfaction with devices and fear of scams indicate the need for additional training on the best and safest use of technology.

Conclusion/Implications:

By screening older adults for SDOH, identifying their current and anticipated needs, and advocating for changes in health care and communities to meet these needs, nurses can help facilitate safe and healthy aging in place for their patients. [

Heat and mass transport of nano-encapsulated phase change materials in a complex cavity: An artificial neural network coupled with incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations
Authors: Alhejaili Weaam , Lee Sang-Wook , Hat Cao Quang , Aly Abdelraheem M.
Published: January 2024

This work simulates thermo-diffusion and diffusion-thermo on heat, mass transfer, and fluid flow of nano-encapsulated phase change materials (NEPCM) within a complex cavity. It is a novel study in handling the heat/mass transfer inside a highly complicated shape saturated by a partial layer porous medium. In addition, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is used in conjunction with the incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) simulation to forecast the mean Nusselt and Sherwood numbers ($ \stackrel{-}{Nu} $ and $ \stackrel{-}{Sh} $). Heat and mass transfer, as well as thermo-diffusion effects, are useful in a variety of applications, including chemical engineering, material processing, and multifunctional heat exchangers. The ISPH method is used to solve the system of governing equations for the heat and mass transfer inside a complex cavity. The scales of pertinent parameters are fusion temperature $ {\theta }_{f} = 0.05-0.95 $, Rayleigh number $ Ra = {10}^{3}-{10}^{6} $, buoyancy ratio parameter $ N = -2-1 $, Darcy number $ Da = {10}^{-2}-{10}^{-5} $, Lewis number $ Le = 1-20 $, Dufour number $ Du = 0-0.25 $, and Soret number $ Sr = 0-0.8 $. Alterations of Rayleigh number are effective in enhancing the intensity of heat and mass transfer and velocity field of NEPCM within a complex cavity. The high complexity of a closed domain reduced the influences of Soret-Dufour numbers on heat and mass transfer especially at the steady state. The fusion temperature works well in adjusting the intensity and location of a heat capacity ratio inside a complex cavity. The presence of a porous layer in a cavity's center decreases the velocity field within a complex cavity at a reduction in Darcy number. The goal values of $ \stackrel{-}{Nu} $ and $ \stackrel{-}{Sh} $ for each data point are compared to those estimated by the ANN model. It is discovered that the ANN model's $ \stackrel{-}{Nu} $ and $ \stackrel{-}{Sh} $ values correspond completely with the target values. The exact harmony of the ANN model prediction values with the target values demonstrates that the developed ANN model can forecast the $ \stackrel{-}{Nu} $ and $ \stackrel{-}{Sh} $ values precisely.
Circular evolutes and involutes of spacelike framed curves and their duality relations in Minkowski 3-space
Authors: Zhang Wei , Li Pengcheng , Pei Donghe
Published: January 2024

In the present paper, we defined the circular evolutes and involutes for a given spacelike framed curve with respect to Bishop directions in Minkowski 3-space. Then, we studied the essential duality relations among parallel curves, normal surfaces, and circular evolutes and involutes. Furthermore, we also studied the duality relations of their singularities. Based on these studies, we found that it is crucially important to consider the duality relations among different geometric objects for the research of submanifolds with singularities.
Los Mapas de Perímetros y el Avance Catastral de la Junta General de Estadística (1866-1868)
Authors: Arístegui Cortijo Andrés , Luna San Eugenio Ana
Published: January 2024

El cambio de modelo económico, social y político que se estaba produciendo en España a mediados del siglo XIX exigía una información geográfica precisa que sirviera de base para modernizar el país. Esto llevó al Gobierno a constituir una serie de Comisiones, así como la Junta General de Estadística, que operaron a lo largo de los años 1850 y 1860 con el fin de establecer la red geodésica y apoyar en ella la cartografía básica, derivada y temática del país. A lo largo del proceso de decantación técnica e institucional que tuvo lugar durante estos años, la Junta diseñó y realizó varios proyectos cartográficos y catastrales hasta que finalmente fijó las características que debían reunir el Catastro y el Mapa Topográfico Nacional. Uno de estos proyectos, desarrollado entre 1866 y 1868, planteaba confeccionar el catastro mediante el levantamiento de los Mapas de Perímetros de los términos municipales y de Avance Catastral de los municipios incluidos en las provincias colindantes a Madrid, inicio de lo que después se haría en el resto del país. Este trabajo analiza ‘desde dentro del Archivo’ del Instituto Geográfico Nacional qué documentos se conservan de aquel proyecto, qué características y calidad tienen y sobre qué planteamientos técnicos se sustentaron. Además, muestra hasta qué punto la documentación conservada en el Archivo se corresponde con la información publicada por la Junta de Estadística en sus Memorias y otros documentos oficiales que eminentes investigadores han trabajado en profundidad.
Los dos mundos de Martín Cortés. Un mestizo en el Imperio español
Authors: Molina Villeta Javier
Published: January 2024

En este artículo se propone una nueva interpretación biográfica sobre la figura de Martín Cortés, el hijo mestizo de Hernán Cortés y Malintzin. Nos centraremos especialmente en su etapa novohispana con el objetivo de entender el papel que jugó en la revuelta indígena de 1564 y en la conjura de los encomenderos de 1566. Mediante el empleo de fuentes de archivo y de textos no suficientemente explorados aportaremos datos significativos sobre sus acciones. Como veremos, a pesar de que cierta historiografía ha subrayado su condición de bastardo y mestizo sensibilizado con los indígenas, Martín Cortés siempre permaneció fiel a la Corona y al bando de su hermano, el marqués del Valle.

Authors: Iparraguirre-Villanueva Orlando , Andia-Alcarraz Jhenifer , Saba-Estela Fathzy , Epifanía-Huerta Andrés
Published: January 2024

Learning the anatomy of the human skeletal system presents several challenges in understanding the complexity of the human body. One of the most common issues is the absence of effective and accessible learning methods that enable students to gain comprehensive knowledge. Therefore, the use of technologies such as augmented reality (AR) aims to address this issue and facilitate its resolution by enabling students to engage with three-dimensional anatomical models, fostering hands-on, visualization-based learning. The aim of this study is to enhance the learning of human skeletal anatomy through the use of AR technology. The study employed a quantitative approach and a pre-experimental design, in which the experiment was conducted according to the research plan and involved 60 students. Mobile-D was used to develop the mobile application. The findings revealed that 93.3% of participants agreed that the use of augmented reality is a valuable for learning human anatomy, as it enables interactive visualization of various parts of the human body. The study also indicated that 28.3% of the students scored “Outstanding,” while 68.3% scored “Predicted.” In addition, 65% of students expressed interest in using augmented reality technology to learn anatomy.

Published: January 2024

The emergence of the remarkable phenomenon of information and communication technology (ICT) in the last two decades of the twentieth century, and its integration into the formal education systems of leading countries, has expanded learning opportunities and facilitated easy access to educational resources. Due to the vast amount of information available, there is a growing emphasis on information management. This approach allows students to enhance their learning by utilizing various tools and visual aids. These tools help in teaching and training by engaging students’ different senses, making learning more realistic, practical, and enjoyable. The quality of education and the effectiveness of educational systems are among the most important concerns for educational developers, and decision-makers in any country. The areas of education is one of the fields that has undergone fundamental changes with the emergence of information technology. Information technology has been recognized as an effective tool in the learning and teaching process. In this research, we will discuss the role of ICT and its impact on enhancing the quality of education systems. The results demonstrate that ICT plays an effective role in the design, planning, implementation, learning, educational evaluation, and structure of education. This includes aspects such as timing, suitability, accuracy, adequacy, realism, speed of transmission, learning accuracy cost reduction, and educational effectiveness. Based on the aforementioned points, educational institutions must offer a suitable framework for integrating ICT into education through thorough planning.
Watteau chroniqueur, inventeur, inspirateur et défenseur des modes (XVIIIe-XXIe siècle)
Authors: Moulinier Axel
Published: January 2024

Le rapport particulier de Watteau au vêtement a été remarqué dès son vivant par les commentateurs contemporains. Partant de ce constat, il convient d’explorer les développements de la perception des vêtements dans la réception critique de son œuvre. Celle-ci oscille entre deux lectures bien différenciées, la première consistant à voir dans l’œuvre du peintre un reflet fidèle des modes contemporaines, la seconde percevant l’illustration d’une mode fantasmée empreinte de joie. À la fin du XIXe siècle, on loue majoritairement l’inventivité de Watteau de laquelle se saisissent bientôt les couturiers. Les vêtements « à la Watteau » émergent et bientôt déferlent sur le marché naissant du prêt-à-porter. Au tournant du XXe siècle, les couturiers utilisent Watteau pour renouveler leur inspiration. Loin de la légèreté que l’on associe à son œuvre, Watteau devient dans le contexte de la Seconde Guerre mondiale le fer de lance de la Francité, prêt à défendre la nation mais aussi la couture parisienne. Plus récemment, Watteau a été étudié sous le prisme des fashion studies, dernière étape à ce jour de son itinéraire avec la mode.
Faisabilité et disparités des reconversions de l’architecture carcérale française
Authors: Prin Alban
Published: January 2024

La sauvegarde des bâtiments carcéraux est devenue une question d’actualité depuis que l’Etat a accéléré le processus de renouvellement de son parc immobilier1, faisant peser une menace de destruction sur ces bâtiments, et entrainant la mobilisation des chercheurs2 pour que ne disparaissent pas ces témoignages bâtis. Dans un contexte foncier tendu3, le compromis trouvé a souvent été celui de la reconversion, posant la question du difficile équilibre entre le respect de l’existant4 et l’adéquation avec les nouveaux usages du programme de reconversion. Élaboré à partir d’une investigation large, à travers toutes les prisons reconverties de France, et dans une moindre mesure à travers toutes les prisons démolies depuis le début du xxe siècle, le propos aborde ces reconversions sous l’angle de la faisabilité et de la pérennité de ces opérations architecturales. Finalement, en allant au-delà des a priori, le phénomène des reconversions est plutôt ancien – depuis les années 1930 – et comptabilise un nombre pas si négligeable d’opérations, dont les enjeux et facteurs de réussite s’articulent autour des questions d’échelle du bâti, d’adéquation de la programmation aux besoins des collectivités locales concernées, des stratégies financières, sans négliger les mémoires douloureuses ou embarrassantes dont ils sont le témoignage bâti.
Filmer la prison et ses personnels. D'une approche expérimentale à une démarche concertée
Authors: Sanchez Jean-Lucien
Published: January 2024

Le Musée d’histoire de la justice, des crimes et des peines de Criminocorpus propose des parcours de visite interactifs d’établissements pénitentiaires. Le premier mis en ligne fut celui de la maison d’arrêt de Havre réalisé en 2010, suivi cinq ans plus tard par celui de Paris La Santé. À ces deux réalisations vient de s’ajouter en 2022 les parcours des maisons d’arrêt de Colmar et Mulhouse qui constituent l’amorce d’une nouvelle dynamique. En effet, la direction de l’administration pénitentiaire a mis en œuvre une politique ambitieuse de valorisation de son patrimoine et de son histoire à travers la réalisation de parcours de visite interactifs de tous ses établissements voués à la fermeture. Cette impulsion a permis de changer le rythme de ces réalisations qui, d’expérimentales et épisodiques, sont devenues standardisées et systématiques. Cet article se propose de présenter le travail de terrain et les différentes étapes d’un long processus qui ont conduit à cet aboutissement.

Cet article souhaite montrer que les gibets, les fourches patibulaires et les potences ont leur place dans la constitution, la conservation et la valorisation d’un patrimoine judiciaire historique. Pour ce faire, il présente les rapports que les hommes du passé et du présent ont entretenus et entretiennent avec les structures de pendaison, la façon dont les hommes ont perçu et perçoivent la justice à travers elles. Il analyse également ce patrimoine pénal selon différentes échelles d’observation (passé/présent, individuel/collectif, famille/société, privé/public, etc.), que cela soit en termes d’héritage et de transmission, qu’en termes d’identité et de mémoire.
Histoire, architecture et mémoire au seuil de la prison : dispositifs scénographiques et enjeux patrimoniaux au castelet à Toulouse au XXIe siècle
Authors: Besson Elsa
Published: January 2024

L’histoire architecturale de la vaste prison Saint-Michel à Toulouse est riche : à l’étude sous la iie République, puis construit sous le Second Empire, son originalité réside dans son plan qui reprend la typologie rayonnante, déclinaison de modèles anglais et états-uniens partisans de l’enfermement individuel, mais adaptée aux théories pénitentiaires impériales, partisanes de l’enfermement par catégories. Particulièrement notable, l’édifice d’entrée, dit Le Castelet, construit en brique selon un registre architectonique néo-médiéval, use d’un langage rarement mobilisé à cette échelle pour les prisons françaises. Composée de créneaux et de meurtrières, la façade du Castelet fait signe dans la ville et est tôt devenue emblématique du quartier Saint-Michel. Cette partie de la prison, reconnue officiellement comme patrimoniale, accueille depuis octobre 2020 un lieu d’exposition dédié à l’histoire de la prison, de son architecture, des détenus et de la Résistance. L’article interroge précisément le projet patrimonial et muséographique actuellement proposé à la visite, à la lumière de l’histoire complexe de l’édifice.
Emploi ou environnement : la transition colombienne vers une économie décarbonnée à l’épreuve de l’exploitation pétrolière
Authors: Tobón Perilla Vladimir
Published: January 2024

L’État colombien se trouve face à des choix difficiles de se conformer pleinement aux accords de Paris, relatifs au changement climatique, en réduisant au maximum l’exploitation du pétrole, alors que ce choix entraînerait la disparition de nombre d’emplois les mieux rémunérés. Dans ce contexte, les réformes proposées par le Gouvernement visent à harmoniser les droits environnementaux avec l’emploi et les droits des travailleurs de l’industrie pétrolière acquis au cours des années.

Post-operative sore throat after general anaesthesia with endo-tracheal intubation occurs in 21% to 65% of patients.1 It has been reported to be one of the most undesirable outcomes in the post-operative period influencing patient satisfaction.2 Complaints range from minor throat irritation to debilitating pain, inability to swallow and temporary hoarseness of voice. Routine tracheal intubation for surgical procedures can result in pathological changes, trauma and nerve damage which may cause post operative sore throat. Several non-pharmacological methods like small sized endotracheal tubes,3 lubricating the endotracheal intubation tube with water soluble jelly, intubation after full relaxation, minimizing intra-cuff pressure and extubation when cuff is fully deflated, the pharmacological measures include gargling and nebulization with drugs like budesonide, beclomethasone, ketamine, lignocaine etc., have been studied.4,5 Budesonide is a non-halogenated glucocorticoid with powerful anti-inflammatory effects. It relieves congestion, reduces capillary permeability and oedema in the laryngeal mucosa. It is the only corticosteroid approved by FDA that can be used for aerosol inhalation.5 There are no studies on Indian population to evaluate the efficacy of budesonide on post-operative sore-throat. We found that Budesonide nebulization in a dose of 1 mg, 15 minutes before endotracheal intubation reduced the incidence and severity of sore-throat, cough and hoarseness of voice in the post-operative period up to 24 hrs in patients who underwent elective middle ear surgery under general anaesthesia. There were no systemic side effects with budesonide nebulization and patient satisfaction was good.

Individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are prone to developing persistent and unremitting anogenital warts (AGWs). To address this health condition, immunotherapy using tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) has been proven to be a promising novel and safe treatment for AGWs in HIV patients. Therefore, this study involved a case of a 21-year-old man with stage I HIV infection, possessing CD4 counts 548 cells/uL and routinely receiving HIV antiretroviral. Patients presented with a condyloma acuminata type AGWs, supported by histopathological results, and tested positive for Human papillomavirus type 11. The treatment approach involved administering 15 tuberculin units of PPD weekly to the largest lesion for 5 weeks. The lesion started to respond two weeks following the first injection and showed a 50% decrease in size after five weeks. There was pain on the site of injection and sub-febrile for a short period. In conclusion, tuberculin PPD is safe and has the potential for the treatment of AGWs in HIV-positive patients for further development.

Neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis (NUD) is an uncommon and not well understood disease. We report a 24-year-old female with persistent present with pruritic and painful urticarial plaques unresponsive to convential treatment. Histopathologically, it demonstrates a perivascular and interstitial neutrophilic infiltrate with leukocytoclasia without evidence of vasculitis or dermal edema consistent with neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis. Further investigations to rule out underlying autoimmune, autoinflammatory and gentic systemic disease were negative. Furthermore, the cutaneous eruption was resistant to multiple therapeutic interventions including colchicine and dapsone treatment, and show significant response to treatment with anakinra, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. Based on literature review, the case reported here is the second case with clinical and pathologic features of NUD without systemic disease and the first case of NUD that showed resistant to colchicine and dapsone treatment, with adequate response to anakinra.

Regular blood transfusion therapy and enhanced iron absorption in patients with β-thalassemia major lead to progressive accumulation of iron in the patient’s tissues. Iron overload disrupts the function of pancreatic β-cell, deteriorates insulin resistance, increases blood glucose levels, and precipitates diabetes mellitus (DM). A family history of DM, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and age increase the risk of DM in β-thalassemia patients. The prevalence of DM among individuals with β-thalassemia major is on the rise despite considerable screening and management efforts. Therefore, more research is still warranted to fully understand the molecular underpinnings linking β-thalassemia major and the onset and progression of DM to develop more robust screening and management approaches. In this context, no reliable biomarkers are currently available to predict or detect DM in such patients. In this review, we elaborate on key tentative links between thalassemia and DM and expand on established metabolic alterations that associate with DM in patients with β-thalassemia major. The review also addresses the prevalence rates and patient management strategies and underscores the need for identifying DM-related predictive and diagnostic biomarkers in β-thalassemia major patients.
Chatbot-generative pretrained transformer: Potential role in medical education and clinical settings
Authors: Meo Sultan Ayoub
Published: January 2024

The chatbot-generative pretrained transformer (ChatGPT) was developed as a prototype by OpenAI on November 30, 2022. Artificial Intelligence software is designed to generate and enhance dialog and discussion among users. ChatGPT has attracted significant attention from the scientific community, physicians, and the public. It provides appropriate answers and explanations for various subjects. ChatGPT is a useful tool in scientific writing, generating essays, editorials, blogs, brief revisions, providing explanations, and generating initial drafts of articles. It uses multiple choice questions and helps in image identification and clinical settings. However, ChatGPT has ethical issues, with multiple risks of misinformation, inaccuracy, prejudice, and plagiarism. ChatGPT cannot replace human judgement, and the outcome must be examined by humans before being used in decision-making policies. When using ChatGPT, it is essential to exercise caution when verifying the accuracy, validity, and reliability of the contents and the source of information in medical education, scientific writing, and clinical settings.
