Covid-19 et cyberattaques
Authors: Février Rémy
Published: April 2021

Si les crises constituent des opportunités de profits pour des délinquants habiles, l’avènement d’un monde hyperconnecté constitue un vecteur d’impact incomparable pour les cybercriminels. La crise de la Covid-19 semble illustrer une rupture de paradigme dans ce domaine, du fait de l’ampleur des attaques menées et des cibles choisies. Même des organisations sanitaires jusqu’alors assez épargnées en période de crise font l’objet d’attaques massives. Ce phénomène inédit conduit légitimement à s’interroger sur une nécessaire adaptation du management stratégique à une menace devenue structurelle.

Authors: Fulconis François , Paché Gilles
Published: April 2021

La pandémie de Covid-19 a profondément impacté les économies mondiales, et les effets négatifs en seront durables en matière d’activité. L’un des aspects les plus significatifs de la crise sanitaire est sans doute la mise à jour de la fragilité des chaînes logistiques globalisées, qui n’a pas échappé aux politiques, avec la perturbation de nombreux approvisionnements de matières et de produits finis. Le monde d’après célèbrera-t-il le retour à une certaine proximité, avec l’essor de chaînes logistiques régionalisées ?

Published: April 2021

La pandémie de Covid-19 conduit les organisations à accélérer les pratiques de travail collaboratif à distance. L’article propose de s’inspirer des organisations qui pratiquent l’Open Source pour manager ces activités. À partir d’une analyse de seize entretiens d’experts, la recherche identifie trois caractéristiques clefs transférables aisément à d’autres industries – le rôle de la communication, la reconnaissance des apports de chacun, l’utilisation d’outils et principes collaboratifs – et deux autres envisageables à moyen terme – la décomposition des tâches en modules et le développement d’un modèle d’affaire spécifique.
Crise du Covid-19, une nouvelle génération detrollingde brevets contaminant démasquée ?
Authors: Ayerbe Cécile , Azzam Jamal-Eddine , Penin Julien
Published: April 2021

La crise sanitaire du Covid-19 contribue à enrichir notre compréhension des modèles d’affaires des trolls de brevets. En se basant sur une analyse détaillée de la stratégie de l’entreprise FIG (dont les pratiques ont été mises au grand jour par la crise du Covid-19), cette recherche donne à voir une nouvelle génération de trolls de brevets qui repose sur un modèle d’affaires contaminant. Ces trolls ne se contentent plus d’extorquer directement les entreprises, mais agissent par le biais d’entités qu’ils financent et incitent à devenir elles-mêmes des trolls. Les stratégies detrollingse transmettent ainsi, sans mauvais jeu de mot, de manière virale. Cette crise nous aide donc à démasquer les trolls, qui avancent souvent cachés, et nous apprend qu’ils peuvent agir et répondre d’une manière totalement inattendue.

Published: April 2021

Kurumlar değişen dünya düzeninde her zaman hile riski ile karşı karşıyadırlar. Son zamanlarda yaşanan muhasebe skandalları denetim birimlerinin ne denli önemli olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Hilenin meydana geldikten sonra reaktif yöntemler ile tespit edilmesinden ziyade proaktif yöntem ve sayısal modellemeler kullanılarak risklerin önceden tespit edilmeye çalışılması ve ortadan kaldırılması günümüzde oldukça önemli hale gelmiştir. Bu araştırmada, proaktif yöntemlerden biri olan Benford Kanunu analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. İç denetim departmanı bulunan ve bulunmayan iki ayrı şirketin verileri, rakamların bulunduğu sayı basamaklarındaki rakamsal sıklıkları tespit eden Benford Kanunu ile incelenerek gözlemlenen oranlar ile Benford Kanunu’nun oranları arasındaki sapmalar tespit edilmiştir.
Avrupa’nın tarihsel gelişimine üç farklı bakış, üç farklı siyaset: Recep Peker, Ahmet Ağaoğlu ve Şevket Süreyya Aydemir
Authors: VAREL Anıl
Published: April 2021

Peker, Ağaoğlu ve Aydemir, 1930’lu yıllarda Türkiye’de hem güncel siyasetin ön saflarında yer almış, hem de toplum ve siyasete dair teorik düzeyde çözümlemeler yapmışlardır. Türkiye’nin temel sorunlarının çözümüne dair önerilerini geliştirirken her üçü de, Avrupa’da son birkaç yüzyıldır yaşanan toplumsal gelişmelerin -özellikle de liberalizmin tarihsel serüveninin- tahliline büyük önem vermişlerdir. Ancak bu üç isim, aynı yöne bakıyor olmalarına rağmen; farklı gerçeklikler tasvir etmişler; buna paralel olarak da Türkiye’de bundan sonra ne yapılması gerektiğine dair farklı çözüm önerileri sunmuşlardır. Ana hatlarıyla, Ağaoğlu’nun reçetesinde liberalizm; Peker’inkinde anti-liberalizm, devletçilik ve tek-parti iktidarı; Aydemir’inkinde ise sadece anti-liberal değil, aynı zamanda anti-kapitalist öğeler de taşıyan ve geniş bir plân dâhilinde tahakkuk etmesi düşünülen bir iktisat politikası yazılıdır. Bu çalışmada Peker, Ağaoğlu ve Aydemir’in, Avrupa’nın tarihsel serüvenine yönelik 1930’lu yıllardaki analizleri karşılaştırmalı biçimde ele alınarak aralarındaki temel farklılıklara vurgu yapılmakta ve bu farklılıkların, söz konusu düşünürlerin Türkiye’ye dair önerdikleri reçetelerin içeriğini nasıl şekillendirdiği ortaya konulmaya çalışılmaktadır.

Max Stirner als Reform-Pädagoge
Authors: Müller-Sladakovic Tijana
Published: April 2021

Max Stirner ist im Vergleich mit den Zeitgenossen seines intellektuellen Umfelds – zu denen Karl Marx, Ludwig Feuerbach und Moses Hess zählen – ein wenig rezipierter Autor. In diesem Buch wird dieser unkonventionelle Denker zum ersten Mal als unzeitgemäßer Reformpädagoge und Bildungsphilosoph verstanden. Gerade im Hinblick auf seine bildungsphilosophische und kommunikationstheoretische Orientierung kann eine Auseinandersetzung mit Stirner sehr gewinnbringend sein, da seine ideologiekritischen und reformpädagogischen Ansätze eine bislang nicht ausgeschöpfte Ressource für heutige pädagogische und bildungsphilosophische Fragen bilden. Die in diesem Buch vorgeschlagene Neulektüre Stirners zeigt unter anderem, dass seine sprach- und bildungsphilosophische Ideologiekritik zentrale Gemeinsamkeiten mit der aktuellen Framingforschung aufweist.

Published: April 2021

An increasing amount of data is now available from public and private sources. Furthermore, the types, formats, and number of sources of data are also increasing. Techniques for extracting, storing, processing, and analyzing such data have been developed in the last few years for managing this bewildering variety based on a structure called a knowledge graph. Industry has devoted a great deal of effort to the development of knowledge graphs, and knowledge graphs are now critical to the functions of intelligent virtual assistants such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant. The goal of the Ontology Summit 2020 was to understand not only what knowledge graphs are but also where they originated, why they are so popular, the current issues, and their future prospects. The summit sessions examined many examples of knowledge graphs and surveyed the relevant standards that exist and are in development for knowledge graphs. The purpose of this Communiqué is to summarize our understanding from the Summit in order to foster research and development of knowledge graphs.
On Rough Approximations of Languages under Infinite Index Indiscernibility Relations
Authors: Martín Torres Gabriela
Published: April 2021

In the paper [13] Păun, Polkowski and Skowron introduce several indiscernibility relations among strings that are infinite index equivalence or tolerance relations, and study lower and upper rough approximations of languages defined by them. In this paper we develop a further study of some of these indiscernibility relations among strings. We characterize the classes defined by them, and the rough approximations of general and context free languages under them. We also compare some of the rough approximations these relations produce to the ones given by the congruences defining testable, reverse testable, locally testable, piecewise testable and commutative languages. Those yield languages belonging to that families. Next, we modify some of the relations to obtain congruences, and study the families of languages the rough approximations under them give rise to. One of these modificated relations turns out to be the k-abelian congruence, that was defined by J. Karhumäki in [7], in the context of combinatorics on words. We show that it defines a pseudo-principal +-variety, a term defined in [9]. Our results in that work are then applied to determine when a given language has a best upper approximation in that family. Finally, we make some comments on the accuracy of the rough approximations obtained in each case.
On Reasonable Inquiry and Analysis Domains of Sympérasmology
Authors: Horváth Imre
Published: April 2021

Sympérasmology was proposed as the theory of synthetic system knowledge (SSK), which is seen as the fuel for the engine of systelligence. There are two main reasons why the proposal is made: (i) rapidly growing, SSK represents a third category of knowledge beside common personal knowledge and testified scientific knowledge, and (ii) though important, neither modern gnoseology nor contemporary epistemology studies its nature, principles, progression, and impacts. The need for rational and empirical studies of SSK is also underpinned by the on-going intelligence revolution, in which knowledge is deemed to be a productive power, a cognitive enabler of smart systems, and a strong transformer of social life. Sympérasmology is still in an embryonic state. Notwithstanding, a map of possible inquiry and analysis domains is released for a public debate in this paper. These domains can be sorted into four categories: (i) rudiments, (ii) principles, (iii) faculties, and (iv) implications. This paper explains these categories and the related domains of interest, and discusses some relevant aspects of study. Without striving for exhaustiveness, it elaborates on many relevant discussion topics and issues. The paper emphasizes that a precise specification of the scope and objectives of sympérasmology needs a stream of exploratory research studies as well as further insightful philosophical discussions.
Underestimation of self-tilt increases in reduced gravity conditions
Authors: Meskers Arjan J. H. , Houben Mark M. J. , Pennings Helena J. M. , Clément Gilles , Groen Eric L.
Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND: During large angles of self-tilt in the roll plane on Earth, measurements of the subjective visual vertical (SVV) in the dark show a bias towards the longitudinal body axis, reflecting a systematic underestimation of self-tilt. OBJECTIVE: This study tested the hypothesis that self-tilt is underestimated in partial gravity conditions, and more so at lower gravity levels. METHODS: The SVV was measured in parabolic flight at three partial gravity levels: 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75 g. Self-tilt was varied amongst 0, 15, 30, and 45 deg, using a tiltable seat. The participants indicated their SVV by setting a linear array of dots projected inside a head mounted display to the perceived vertical. The angles of participants’ body and head roll tilt relative to the gravito-inertial vertical were measured by two separate inertial measurement units. RESULTS: Data on six participants were collected. Per G-level, a regression analysis was performed with SVV setting as dependent variable and head tilt as independent variable. The latter was used instead of chair tilt, because not all the participants’ heads were aligned with their bodies. The estimated regression slopes significantly decreased with smaller G-levels, reflecting an increased bias of the SVV towards the longitudinal body axis. On average, the regression slopes were 0.95 (±0.38) at 0.75 g; 0.84 (±0.22) at 0.5 g; and 0.63 (±0.33) at 0.25 g. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study show that reduced gravity conditions lead to increased underestimation of roll self-tilt.

Authors: Hicks-Roof Kristen K. , Franklin Mallory P. , Sealey-Potts Claudia V. , Zeglin Robert J.
Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND: Worksite wellness programs have the ability to activate health promotion and stimulate behavior change. OBJECTIVE: To measure longitudinal associations between visits with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), as part of worksite wellness programs, on dietary and lifestyle behavior changes. METHODS: The study sample included 1,123 employees with 77 different worksite wellness programs across the United States from March to December 2017. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to evaluate the associations of RDN visits with behavior changes. RESULTS: The mean BMI at baseline was 33.48, indicating over half of all employees are considered obese. Employees who attended more than one visit showed an increase in whole grain consumption and corresponding weight loss (t-ratio = 2.41, p = 0.02). Age played a significant factor in the rise of systolic blood pressure; employees who attended more visits showed an increase in whole grain consumption and corresponding blood pressure (t-ratio = –2.11, p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: RDNs as part of worksite wellness programs, can contribute to improvements in lifestyle behavior changes. These data highlight the need for nutrition intervention at the workplace. Research on nutrition-focused worksite wellness programs is needed to assess the long-term health outcomes related to dietary and lifestyle behavior changes.

Authors: Thi Thao Thi Thao Nhi , Nguyen Khoi Dao
Published: April 2021

Global warming has significantly challenged the natural environment and livelihood conditions. Understanding potential future changes of climate variables, such as temperature and precipitation, is critical for water resource management in this region. This study proposed an approach to applying LARS-WG model in CMIP5 scenarios, 9 monitoring stations with 25-year series of dately data used for calibration and validation, which were the input data of the model. Combining data from 5 outputs of general periodic model (GCMs) for the periods 2021–2020, 2041–2060, and 2061– 2080, the results showed that the CMIP5 scenarios could be used successfully in the LARS-WG model and the model worked well under the climatic conditions of the Srepok river basin (Central Highlands of Vietnam). Comparing future weather scenarios with current weather data showed that warmer transitions and reduced rainfall would be generally in the future. Future temperature and precipitation trends showed an increase in both the magnitude and frequency of extreme events. So the affects of climate change are enormous on the management of related projects. Water resources need to be considered a lot in the local decision-making.

Published: April 2021

The article substantiates diversification as a tool to ensure sustainable development of rural areas in decentralization, which contributes to increasing incomes of the rural population, increasing gross agricultural and non-agricultural products, ensuring the competitiveness of rural areas, achieving economic, food and environmental safety, rational use, protection and reproduction of natural resources. In the process of researching the level of sustainable development of rural areas, monographic and graphic methods and scientific generalization were used. The study identified internal factors that affect the sustainable development of rural areas. Social factors include living conditions, the situation on the labor market, the state of social infrastructure. Economic factors should include the provision of agricultural land, the state of diversification of agricultural and non-agricultural activities, the amount of investment in economic development, the level and structure of household income in rural areas. Environmental factors include the level of air pollution, the situation with waste, the use of freshwater, the application of fertilizers to soils, the production and restoration of forests, the level of investment in environmental protection. External factors influencing the sustainable development of rural areas include the political situation in the country and the world; decentralization process; state programs to support rural development and agriculture; the level of supply and demand for goods and services produced in a particular area, etc. It is substantiated that diversification is a tool to ensure sustainable development and strengthen the competitive advantages of rural areas. It is stipulated that attracting investments in rural development and diversification of economic activity will contribute to job creation; income growth of rural residents; the revival of local crafts, customs and crafts, improvement of villages and change of consciousness of villagers. Further research should be carried out in the direction of calculating the integrated index of sustainable development of rural areas in Ukraine to identify regional disparities in the social, economic and environmental spheres of the functioning of these areas in the context of decentralization.

Published: April 2021

Research on teaching through discipline integration is currently emphasized as a gap in educational literature, and this study bridges discipline silos between the arts and sciences by indicating how science and art compliment content learning. A study of secondary education pre-service teachers (3 years, n = 52) participating in a science/art integration unit the semester before their last college experience, explores how integrated sessions capture both scientific and artistic discipline concepts. A mixed methods research approach measured changes in confidence of science and art knowledge, skills, and experiences of the participants. Quantitative and qualitative data support increased awareness and confidence in pre-service teachers’ perceptions of how science and art can be incorporated into pre-collegiate classrooms, recognition of discipline similarities, and significant common themes when teaching both disciplines together. The researchers utilized a social constructivist framework with the qualitative data. Conclusions and implications include: 1) instructors can provide examples and modeling of interdisciplinary learning, which inspire pre-service teachers to explore new integrated disciplines in their own future classrooms, and 2) instructors can influence perspectives of pre-service teachers by offering integrated units, which produces open-mindedness of future teachers to use various teaching strategies. Keywords: science, art, pre-service teachers, pre-collegiate students, STEM education, STEM classrooms.

The presence of megaloblasts and macrocytes in the bone marrow characterizes megaloblastic anaemia. Megaloblastic anaemia is the result of folate and vitamin B12 deficiency in more than 95% of cases. We hereby report a case of megaloblastic anaemia in a 23-year old female having glossitis and a burning sensation on the tongue. The blood picture showed megaloblastic anaemia and haematological tests confirmed the diagnosis. The patient positively responded to vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation. The presence of oral signs and symptoms offer the dentist an opportunity to participate in the diagnosis of this condition. Early diagnosis is important to prevent deficiency. This paper explains the oral changes induced by dietary deficiency of cobalamin or folate in a patient with megaloblastic anaemia.

Arte urbano, ¿patrimonio cultural etnográfico de nosotros mismos?
Authors: Sánchez Pons Mercedes
Published: April 2021

En este texto se reflexiona sobre la dificultad que entraña comprender como patrimonio cultural el arte urbano, un fenómeno heterogéneo, cambiante y en proceso de construcción, demasiado cercano en el tiempo para contar con la suficiente perspectiva, pero que es un fiel reflejo de la sociedad de nuestra época. A pesar de que existen diversos ejemplos de reconocimiento patrimonial de obras concretas de características muy diferentes sigue siendo difícil enmarcar este tipo de producciones bajo alguno de los epígrafes existentes en la definición general de Patrimonio Cultural.
Retinoic acid attenuates the mild hyperoxic lung injury in newborn mice
Authors: Zimová M , Mysliveček J , Potměšil P
Published: April 2021

Neonatal exposure to hyperoxia alters lung development in mice.
We tested if retinoic acid (RA) treatment is capable to affect lung
development after hyperoxic injury and to maintain structural
integrity of lung. The gene of vascular endothelial growth factor
A (VEGF-A) is one of the RA-responsive genes. Newborn BALB/c
mice were exposed to room air, 40 % or 80 % hyperoxia for
7 days. One half of animals in each group received 500 mg/kg
retinoic acid from day 3 to day 7 of the experiment. At the end of
experiment we assessed body weight (BW), lung wet weight
(LW), the wet-to-dry lung weight ratio (W/D) and the expression
of mRNA for VEGF-A and G3PDH genes. On day 7 the hyperoxiaexposed sham-treated mice (group 80) weighed 20 % less than
the room air-exposed group, whereas the 80 % hyperoxic group
treated with RA weighed only 13 % less than the normoxic
group. W/D values in 80 and 80A groups did not differ, although
they both differed from the control group and from 40 groups.
There was a significant difference between 40 and 40A groups,
but the control group was different from 40 group but not from
40A groups. The 80 and 80A groups had mRNA VEGF-A
expression lowered to 64 % and 41 % of the control group. RA
treatment of normoxic and mild hyperoxic groups increased
mRNA VEGF-A expression by about 50 %. We conclude that the
retinoic acid treatment of newborn BALB/c mice exposed for
7 days to 80 % hyperoxia reduced the growth retardation in the
80 % hyperoxic group, reduced the W/D ratio in the 40 % but
not in the 80 % hyperoxic group. Higher VEGF-A mRNA
expression in the 80 % hyperoxic group treated with RA was not
significant compared to the 80 % hyperoxic group.
Involvement of nitric oxide in noradrenaline-induced changes in the activity of antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation in rat brown adipose tissue and heart
Authors: Perovic A , Vuckovic T , Cvijic G , Djordjevic J , Davidovic V
Published: April 2021

The effect of exogenous noradrenaline (NA) (1.6 mg.kg-1 i.p.,
35 min prior sacrifice) on the activity of antioxidant enzymes
(AOE) copper zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), manganese
superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and catalase (CAT), as well as
lipid peroxides (LP) concentration were studied in the rat
interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) and heart of saline
(controls) and Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) treated
rats (10 mg.kg-1, i.p., during 3 days and 20 min before NA). NA
differently affects both AOE activities and LP production in the
IBAT and heart. Thus, NA inhibited the activity of all IBAT AOE
and LP production while in the heart it markedly increased CAT
activity only, but had no effect on any of SODs activities and LP
concentration. L-NAME, a nitric oxide synthase blocker,
completely abolished the NA-induced inhibition of the IBAT AOE
and LP production, whereas in the heart it was without effect. In
conclusion, these results indicate that both NA and L-NAME
effects on AOE activity and LP production are tissue specific and
also suggest that nitric oxide mediates the NA-induced inhibition
of AOE activity and LP production in the IBAT only.
