Do not turn or stumble: anthropology of death and taboo
This article explores the relation between death, the fear and denial of it, and the appeal of mortuary rites attempting to transcend senses of mortality. It aims to show how our Own death, as a shamefull and solitary characteristic of modernity, has become a taboo and how it simultaneously continues to spur our imagination of the way Others die. Building on research in Suriname, it argues that both colonial compulsion and anthropological gazing have contributed to distorted and ambiguious attitudes toward death cross-culturally. As such, the article seeks to advance discussions on death and taboo as a perpetuum mobile of dread and everlasting enchantment.
Lokale rechtspraak in de hooglanden van Ecuador. Een bijzonder voorbeeld van inclusieve mediation

Local Administration of Justice in the Ecuadorian Highlands: A Unusual Form of Inclusive Mediation
Inclusive mediation involves a mediator whose neutrality is based on involvement with both sides of the dispute, and whose normative references are implicit; he or she is an insider. Exclusive mediation, on the other hand, involves a third party whose neutrality derives from his knowing neither disputant, and whose references to norms are explicit; an outsider, so to speak. The concepts of inclusive and exclusive mediation have been introduced by the anthropologist Carol Greenhouse in the 1980s. Inclusive mediation heavily relies on local knowledge and local ties, and its orientation can be labelled as horizontal. Basically, it fits small-scale societies, while exclusive mediation is more common in Europe and the United States. This article is about dispute settlement in an indigenous community in the Ecuadorian highlands, were I have encountered a unusual mixture of both forms: a local teniente político who applies inclusive as well as exclusive aspects of mediation at the same time.
Een empirisch onderzoek naar mediation bij overdracht en opvolging binnen familiebedrijven (in België)

An empirical research on mediation in the context of a family business transfer (in Belgium)
This research aims to explore empirically (method: questionnaire) the usefulness of mediation as a technique of external conflict management in the event of a family business transfer. More specifically, the research intents to verify if the conditions of application, the consequences and the benefits of mediation as described in general literature apply to the context of a family business (transfer), since Prince underlined 25 years ago that research is required to develop: ‘a system of intervention that employs the concepts, techniques, and logic of mediation that apply to the unique aspects of family business’. Results of the own research showed that mediation was an adequate technique of external conflict management in the context of a family business transfer and that it was more successful than consulting, defined as other techniques of external conflict management, in the researched cases. Furthermore, the research found indications that mediation is an adequate technique beyond the researched cases.

De la filmologie à la sémiologie : figures de l’alternance au cinéma1
Authors: Gaudreault André , Gauthier Philippe 
Published: April 2016

Dans ses premiers travaux sémiologiques, Christian Metz s’est penché sur les divers mécanismes du montage cinématographique, ce dont rend bien compte son fameux tableau de la « grande syntagmatique ». Il s’agit dans cet article d’essayer de comprendre le rôle de ces travaux dans l’histoire de la théorie sur le montage, plus précisément en ce qui a trait aux figures de l’alternance (soit, essentiellement, le montage alterné et le montage parallèle). Les auteurs dressent d’abord un portrait de la « situation définitionnelle » des figures de l’alternance dans les écrits de théoriciens ou d’historiens français des années 1950 et du début des années 1960 (dont Étienne et Anne Souriau, Henri Agel, André Bazin et Jean Mitry), pour mettre ensuite en lumière la manière dont les propositions de Metz ont levé une part importante de l’ambiguïté qui prévalait dans la définition de ces figures de montage, ouvrant ainsi la voie à l’écriture d’une histoire renouvelée du montage alterné.
Redessiner les espaces francophones au présent : la prise en compte de l’immigration dans la recherche sur les francophonies minoritaires au Canada1
Authors: Fourot Aude-Claire 
Published: April 2016

Le déclin du nombre des Canadiens ayant le français comme première langue officielle parlée a conduit l’État et les communautés francophones en milieu minoritaire à penser l’immigration comme une source de « vitalité ». Des plans spécifiques d’attraction et de rétention des immigrants francophones ont alors été mis en place depuis le début des années 2000, faisant qu’aujourd’hui une proportion plus importante de la population francophone installée à l’extérieur du Québec est immigrante et elle est à l’origine de nouveaux espaces francophones, plurilingues et multiculturels. Dans cet article, nous proposons une analyse critique de la prise en compte et des représentations de l’immigration dans la recherche sur les minorités francophones et ses liens avec les débats relatifs à l’identité canadienne. Nous analysons ensuite le renouveau des recherches compte tenu de l’intérêt récent mais soutenu pour l’immigration francophone. Nous en soulignons les principaux thèmes tout en mettant l’accent sur la spécificité « partenariale » du mode de production, comme certaines de ses limites.
Le rôle des maires dans l’acceptabilité sociale des projets d’infrastructure : tension entre arbitrage et promotion1
Authors: Yates Stéphanie , Arbour Myriam 
Published: April 2016

Relativement nouvelle dans le paysage sociopolitique québécois, la notion d’acceptabilité sociale en est venue à être considérée comme un impératif à la réalisation des grands projets d’infrastructure, les promoteurs devant ainsi démontrer que les populations concernées donnent leur assentiment à leur entreprise. Les élus municipaux – et les maires en particulier – sont directement concernés par ces dynamiques, lesquelles ne sont pas exemptes de tensions. D’un côté, les acteurs privés souhaitent que les maires les soutiennent dans leur démarche et usent de leur leadership politique pour faire la promotion active des projets soumis à l’acceptabilité sociale. D’un autre côté, les citoyens considèrent que leur maire se doit de demeurer neutre afin de soupeser, en toute objectivité, les pour et les contre d’un projet donné au regard de l’intérêt public de leur communauté, prise au sens large. Au final, les maires semblent assez mal outillés pour considérer les projets et leurs parties prenantes dans leur globalité et pour piloter ces processus de manière totalement objective, alors que d’importantes compensations financières sont souvent promises aux municipalités d’accueil des projets. À partir d’un cadrage théorique orienté autour de la notion plurielle de légitimité, nous étudions ces dynamiques à travers le cas récent du développement d’un parc éolien à Saint-Valentin, en Montérégie (Québec), que nous comparons au projet d’agrandissement du site d’enfouissement sanitaire de Saint-Thomas, dans Lanaudière (Québec). Sous l’éclairage de ces cas, nous avançons que des dispositifs participatifs devraient être mis à la disposition des élus municipaux afin qu’ils puissent développer une vision partagée du développement de leur territoire au sein de laquelle pourront s’inscrire les projets, cette vision devant reposer sur une prise en compte du point de vue de l’ensemble des parties prenantes préoccupées par un territoire donné.
Suppression of relaxation effect in HfO2 resistive random access memory array by improved program operations

Abstract
As a postprograming resistance shift, the relaxation effect could be a major issue for resistive random access memory (RRAM) applications. To understand the physical mechanisms of the relaxation effect, temperature-related ion and charge movements are analyzed using the incremental-step-pulse program (ISPP) and repeat-cycle program (RCP). Pre-electron detrapping (PED) operation is found to minimize the amount of interfacial trapped charges and thus to greatly reduce the resistance relaxation effect. Our experimental results demonstrate the improved data retention and tight distribution of RRAM arrays as a result of the above optimized program operations.

ObjectiveThe gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is the most commonly affected internal organ in systemic sclerosis (SSc). We sought to determine the prevalence and impact of GIT symptoms on survival and patient‐reported outcomes.MethodsA total of 907 consecutive patients from the Australian Scleroderma Cohort Study who had prospectively completed the University of California, Los Angeles, Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Gastrointestinal Tract 2.0 Questionnaire (UCLA GIT) between 2015 and 2021 were included. The associations between UCLA GIT scores and physical function (Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire), quality of life (QoL; Short Form 36), mood (Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS] anxiety and depression domains), fatigue (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Fatigue score), and employment were investigated using multivariable population‐averaged panel models using generalized estimating equations (GEEs). Kaplan‐Meier curves and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to evaluate survival according to total UCLA GIT scores.ResultsGIT symptoms were reported in 87% of participants, with 46% to 52% reporting moderate to very severe symptoms of reflux, distension, diarrhea, and constipation. Higher total UCLA GIT scores were associated with worse QoL, physical function, fatigue, anxiety, and depression (P < 0.001). In the multivariable GEE analysis, moderate and severe to very severe total scores, reflux scores, and distension scores were associated with worse physical function, QoL, fatigue, anxiety, and depression compared to mild scores (P < 0.05). Patients with severe total scores and diarrhea scores were more likely to be unemployed compared to those with mild scores (P < 0.05). UCLA GIT total scores were not independently associated with death in our cohort.ConclusionGIT manifestations are common in SSc and negatively impact QoL, physical function, and employment but are not directly associated with increased death.

ObjectiveThis study examines the application of the adaptive choice‐based conjoint (ACBC) method to facilitate the shared decision‐making (SDM) process for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment.MethodsThe study recruited adult patients with OA attending the rheumatology/orthopedics clinics in a local urban hospital in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Participants completed a questionnaire regarding who influences their decision in selecting OA medication, followed by an ACBC questionnaire about OA medication preferences and a questionnaire about the potential contribution of ACBC to the SDM process. A univariate analysis was used to investigate the relationships between participant variables and factors that influence their decision‐making processes. The chi‐squared test, Fisher's exact test, Cramér's V coefficient test, and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used. The primary outcome investigates the contribution of the ACBC method to the SDM process for OA treatment. Secondary outcomes measure the association between patient demographics and variables related to the SDM process and ACBC questionnaire.ResultsFive hundred patients participated in this study, with a response rate of 100%. Most study participants were 60 to 69 years old (34.8%), women (78.8%), and UAE nationals (90.4%). Patients’ opinions and online or paper information influencing their decision in selecting OA medication had a statistically significant association with age, gender, education, and employment (P = 0.001, P = 0.039, P = 0.002, and P = 0.001, respectively). Employment status showed the strongest association (φc 0.170) with being independent in making the decision about OA medications, whereas education levels showed the strongest association (φc 0.24) with decisions impacted by online or paper information. The results of the multivariable logistic analysis showed that the only statistically significant variable for online or paper information that influenced the decision in selecting OA medication was education level (P = 0.003). Most participants agreed or strongly agreed that the ACBC predicted their preferences for OA treatment (96.8%) and that the questionnaire may help doctors understand patient preferences (93%), and they recommended the use of the ACBC tool in doctors’ clinics to aid the SDM process (92.8%) between patients and their physicians.ConclusionAn ACBC approach can facilitate doctors’ understanding of patient preferences and aid the SDM process. Most patients with OA are independent or influenced by their physician when making decisions about OA medication. Higher education and employment among patients with OA are associated with a better involvement in the SDM process for available treatment.
Multifunctional Amino‐Boranes Isomer Room‐Temperature Phosphorescent Material: Multi‐Substrate Multicolor Luminescence, Multi‐Level Anti‐Counterfeiting, Light‐Controlled Data Erasing/Writing, Data Logic Operation, and High Anti‐Laundry Detergent Performance

AbstractSignificant advances are made in understanding the structure‐property relationship in room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials. For example, intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) structural molecules based on electron donors(D) and electron acceptors(A) are an efficient method to achieve RTP. However, the ability to precisely regulate the singlet‐triplet energy gap (ΔEST) through molecular design to control RTP emissions remains constrained. Herein, a group of 4BN‐NP and 5BN‐NP isomers is reported with D and A position isomerization, where 4BN‐NP exhibits a photo‐induced orange afterglow phenomenon in PMMA. Calculations show that the spin‐orbit coupling (SOC) value of 4BN‐NP is greater compared to 5BN‐NP and the intersystem crossing (ISC) channel is more efficient, resulting in a smaller ΔEST value for 4BN‐NP. This indicates that the short ICT channel is more conducive to inducing phosphorescence emission. In addition, compound 4BN‐NP co‐doped with red fluorescent dyes (RhB, Rh6G, and RBNN) in PMMA produces phosphorescence resonance energy transfer (PRET), inducing red afterglow emission. Surprisingly, light‐activated yellow RTP can be obtained by attaching 4BN‐NP with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to nylon filaments, and its phosphorescence intensity does not diminish even when it is immersed in water containing detergent solution, thus expanding the prospects of its application in textile encryption.
Arsenene/Ti2CO2 Heterojunction as a Promising Z‐Scheme Photocatalyst for Overall Water Splitting
Authors: Hua Ling , Wang Youxi , Li Zhenyu 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIn order to address imminent energy and environmental challenges, photocatalytic water splitting emerges as a promising way for harnessing solar radiation to generate clean chemical energy. 2D arsenene (β‐As) has notable catalytic activity in hydrogen production. Based on first principles calculations and non‐adiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD) simulations, the β‐As/Ti2CO2 heterojunction is predicted to be a promising Z‐scheme photocatalyst for overall solar water splitting. It has a desirable energy band structure with the valence band maximum of Ti2CO2 and the conduction band minimum of β‐As well below and above the redox potentials of H2O. Both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) can proceed spontaneously under light irradiation. NAMD simulations confirm that it is a Z‐scheme photocatalyst with fast electron–hole combination dynamics. Instead of by intrinsic electric field, such a fast electron–hole combination is driven by a large nonadiabatic coupling. The heterojunction exhibits strong optical absorption in the visible and ultraviolet regions. The estimated solar‐to‐hydrogen (STH) efficiency limit of β‐As/Ti2CO2 reaches 32%, which is the highest among all β‐As based junctions reported in the literature. These results suggest that β‐As/Ti2CO2 is a promising photocatalyst for achieving overall water splitting.

Published: September 2024

AbstractTopological photonic insulators serve as highways for light propagation, enabling photons to be transported with topological protection and enriching the understanding of light‐matter interactions. However, the prohibitive fabrication and non‐reconfigurable functionality of current topological photonics seriously hinder its practical applications. Here, a revolutionary concept of phase‐transition photonic brick is theoretically proposed and experimentally demonstrated, which can be regarded as an ideal building block to develop reconfigurable highways for light propagations. The proposed modular photonic brick not only integrates the inherent benefits of both passive and active topological photonics, but also offers previously unattainable superiority, including flexible scalability, deformability, detachability, and recyclability. Leveraging these benefits, this work provides a groundbreaking topological platform that balances the reconfigurability, multifunctionality, low electrical energy consumption, and low device fabrication cost. By unlocking the potential of recyclable photonic bricks, the work represents a significant step toward realizing the extensive and sustainable practical applications of topological photonics in information processing, computing, communications, and beyond.

AbstractHardware‐based reservoir computing (RC) systems provide benefits like energy efficiency and effective predictability. The implementation of different switching characteristics for the reservoir and readout layers requires the use of different types of devices or additional processing. However, an RC system with distinguishable switching characteristics obtained by changing stimulation on a single device is not identified yet, but it is appealing in terms of process simplicity and efficient processing costs. This study develops an RC system that uses ferroelectric thin‐film transistor (FeTFT) devices with an indium gallium zinc oxide channel and Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 ferroelectric layer for both networks. The nonvolatile FeTFT utilizes the remnant polarization properties of the ferroelectric layer through electrical stimulation, showing stable retention characteristics (104 s) and long‐term potentiation/depression. By using optical stimulation, the volatile FeTFT demonstrates short‐term characteristics, such as paired‐pulse facilitation, and a 4‐bit RC system. This proves that it is possible to meet the functional requirements of both the reservoir and readout networks by simply varying the type of stimulation applied to a single FeTFT. Finally, the fully FeTFT‐based RC system can recognize digit patterns from the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology database with a high accuracy of 90.5%.
