Tourismophobie
Authors: Gay Jean-Christophe 
Published: July 2024

Le tourisme est, depuis ses origines, la cible de jugements sans appel qui condamnent ou moquent les usages de ceux qui le pratiquent.Au coeur de cette « tourismophobie » d’hier à aujourd’hui, il y a la question de la masse et de la différenciation entre ceux qui s’autodésignent « voyageurs », déniant leur propre tourisme, et les touristes. Tourismophobie étudie la persistance de la répulsion à leur endroit alors que leur nombre est de nos jours infiniment plus élevé, qu’ils ne sont socialement plus les mêmes et que les pratiques ont radicalement changé.Il s’agit de faire sortir de l’ombre cet invariant culturel et de comprendre les ressorts de cette posture sociale qui a pris un nouveau tournant avec le dérèglement climatique. Sans ignorer les effets négatifs du tourisme, cet ouvrage est une réponse au débat actuel sur le « surtourisme », la forme la plus contemporaine de la tourismophobie.
Evaluating marine dust records as templates for optical dating of Oldest Ice
Authors: Ng Jessica , Severinghaus Jeffrey , Bay Ryan , Tosi Delia 
Published: July 2024

Abstract. The continuous ice core record extends 800 000 years into the past, covering the period of 100 000-year glacial cycles but not the transition from 40 000-year glacial cycles (the mid-Pleistocene transition, 1.2–0.7 million years ago). A primary goal of the International Partnerships in Ice Core Sciences is therefore to retrieve a 1.5-million-year-old continuous ice core, increasing our understanding of this major change in the climate system and thus of fundamental climate forcings and feedbacks. However, complex glacial processes, limited bedrock data, and young basal ice in previous cores necessitate careful reconnaissance studies before extracting a full core. Ice borehole optical logging reflects the ice dust content and may be used to date ice quickly and inexpensively if a reference record is known. Here we explore the relationship between ice dust records and well-dated marine dust records from sediment cores in the southern Atlantic and Pacific oceans, which lie along paths of dust sources to Antarctica. We evaluate how representative these records are of Antarctic dust both through the existing ice core record and during the older target age range, suggesting that a newly published 1.5-million-year record from Site U1537 near South America is likely the most robust predictor of the Oldest Ice dust signal. We then assess procedures for rapid dating of potential Oldest Ice sites, noting that the ability to detect dating errors is an essential feature. We emphasize that ongoing efforts to identify, recover, date, and interpret an Oldest Ice core should use care to avoid unfounded assumptions about the 40 kyr world based on the 100 kyr world.

Abstract. Changing stress regimes control fracture network geometry and influence porosity and permeability in carbonate reservoirs. Using outcrop data analysis and a displacement-based linear elastic finite-element method, we investigate the impact of stress regime change on fracture network permeability. The model is based on fracture networks, specifically fracture substructures. The Latemar, predominantly affected by subsidence deformation and Alpine compression, is taken as an outcrop analogue for an isolated (Mesozoic) carbonate buildup with fracture-dominated permeability. We apply a novel strategy involving two compressive boundary loading conditions constrained by the study area's NW–SE and N–S stress directions. Stress-dependent heterogeneous apertures and effective permeability were computed in the 2D domain by (i) using the local stress state within the fracture substructure and (ii) running a single-phase flow analysis considering the fracture apertures in each fracture substructure. Our results show that the impact of the modelled far-field stresses at (i) subsidence deformation from the NW–SE and (ii) Alpine deformation from N–S increased the overall fracture aperture and permeability. In each case, increasing permeability is associated with open fractures parallel to the orientation of the loading stages and with fracture densities. The anisotropy of permeability is increased by the density and connectedness of the fracture network and affected by shear dilation. The two far-field stresses simultaneously acting within the selected fracture substructure at a different magnitude and orientation do not necessarily cancel each other out in the mechanical deformation modelling. These stresses affect the overall aperture and permeability distributions and the flow patterns. These effects – potentially ignored in simpler stress-dependent permeability – can result in significant inaccuracies in permeability estimation.
Various lithospheric deformation patterns derived from rheological contrasts between continental terranes: insights from 2-D numerical simulations
Authors: Xie Renxian , Chen Lin , Morgan Jason P. , Chen Yongshun John 
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Continents are formed by the amalgamation of numerous micro-terranes and island arcs, so they have spatially varying lithosphere strengths. The crème brûlée (CB) model and the jelly sandwich (JS) model have been commonly used to describe continental lithosphere strength–depth variations. Depending on the strength of the continental lower crust, the CB and JS models can be further subdivided into two subclasses in which the I subclass (CB-I and JS-I) and II subclass (CB-II and JS-II), respectively, have a strong or weak lower crust. During the continental collision, lithosphere deformation is the byproduct of the comprehensive interaction of multiple terranes. Here we used 2-D thermomechanical numerical models that contain three continental terranes to systematically explore the effects of terranes with various strengths on continental deformation and studied the effects of different rheological assumptions on terrane deformation. We found four types of lithosphere deformation patterns: collision, subduction, thickening and delamination, and replacement. These simulation patterns are seen in observed deformation patterns and structures in East Asia, suggesting they are likely to be naturally occurring modes of intracontinental orogenesis.

Published: July 2024

Background: Body mass index (BMI) is the dominant diagnostic parameter for obesity, but its suitability is controversial. Physical fitness (PF) can be used as an indicator for unhealthy body composition.
Objectives: To characterize groups of overweight children via different anthropometric parameters and their respective PF.
Sample and Methods: Anthropometric measurements (BMI, waist circumference (WC), skinfold thickness (SF), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) were assessed in 147 preschool children (age 4.7 ± 1.8 years) at 12 German Kindergartens. Measurements were related to a field battery for PF, assessing musculoskeletal fitness and motor fitness.
Results: All anthropometric measurements characterize different children as overweight, only four children are classified as overweight by all measurements. Children with elevated triceps SF alone or in combination with high subscapular SF or WC but not BMI showed lower PF compared with non-overweight children (long jump (p < 0.001), high jump (p = 0.002), shuttle run (p = 0.032)).
Conclusions: Triceps SF measuring peripheral fat mass alone and in combination with parameters of central fat might be an effective method to detect poor PF indicating health impairing overweight in 3- to 6-year-old children while preventive examinations should not be placed exclusively on the BMI.

Published: July 2024

Objectives: To determine secular trends in body height, fat-mass, fat-free mass, and external skeletal robustness in young adults and examine possible relationship between them.
Methods: Anthropometric data (body height, body mass; skinfold thickness (SFT) – triceps, abdominal, thigh; circumferences (C) – waist, upper arm, thigh; width – elbow, knee) of young adults aged 20-25 years (N = 5303; males 1985, females 3318) were used from the Slovenian (data)Base of Anthropometric Measurements from 1960 to 2023. Multiple linear regressions were performed.
Results: The most significant positive secular trends (p < 0.000) were observed in males for abdominal SFT (B = 0.151, R2 = 0.169) and thigh SFT (B = 0.131, R2 = 0.142). In females, similar trend was observed in waist C (B = 0.151; R2 = 0.169). The most significant negative secular trend (p < 0.001) was observed in muscle area of lower limbs in both sexes (males: B = - 0.427, R2 = 0.000; females: B = - 0.875, R2 = 0.300). Body height and overall body mass were the most important factors influencing the observed decline in external skeletal robustness assessed with frame index according to elbow and knee width according to multiple linear regression.
Conclusion: Over the last 60 years, a positive secular trend was observed in body height and body fat, while a negative trend was noted in muscle mass. Increases in body height and overall body mass had the most significant impact on the observed decrease in assessed external skeletal robustness over time.
How Botswana and Mauritius Exited the EU High-Risk Third Country List by Adapting Their Approaches to Beneficial Ownership and Residence
Authors: Walker Daniel 
Published: July 2024

On 22 February 2022, the Mauritian Ministry of Financial Services and Good Governance issued a communique reporting the country’s removal from the European Union (‘EU’) List of High-Risk Third Countries. This list is also called the Anti-money Laundering and Countering Terrorist Financing List (‘AML/CTF’); or, less affectionately, the Blacklist. Mauritius issued this report a month after the European Union released its Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/229, removing Botswana and Mauritius from the AML/CTF. The EU placed Mauritius and Botswana on the Blacklist in May 2020 after adopting updated criteria for assessing high-risk third countries and publishing its revised methodology for identifying these high-risk jurisdictions. These updated criteria and procedures relegated the tax regimes of Mauritius and Botswana as strategically ‘[deficient] on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing…,’ such that they ‘pose significant threats to the financial system of the Union.’ Placement on the Blacklist encumbers States with increased monitoring, regulatory requirements, and global trade restrictions that can result in a heavy economic toll. Moreover, to exit the list, countries must remediate deficiencies in cooperation with the EU and Financial Action Task Force (‘FATF’), each of which must be satisfied with the improvements made. Mauritius and Botswana passed a bevy of substantial laws in just over a year to satisfy the EU and FATF, earning an exit from the Blacklist. Among the many changes, enhancements to each country’s transparency measures were central. Adopting new approaches to beneficial ownership and residence in each country is at the core of this transparency. This work will explore how Mauritius and Botswana leveraged new approaches to beneficial ownership and residence to meet EU standards for tax regime transparency, resulting in each country’s removal from the EU Blacklist. This analysis will begin with an economic overview of Mauritius and Botswana. What follows will be an introduction to the EU AML/CTF list, followed by how and why the EU placed Mauritius and Botswana on the list. Finally, this work will look at how Mauritius and Botswana exited the list, and what that exit means for each country and other countries like them.
Forward defense – concept, plan, and action for solving russian aggression at Nato's easternd border
Authors: CHIFU Iulian 
Published: July 2024

Forward defense is not a new concept. It is rather traditional, coming from the Cold War and implying, originally, the nuclear posture and strategy. Following the issuance of the Madrid NATO Strategic Concept and Vilnius statement that not an inch of the Alliance’s territory will fall under the control of the opponents, a new approach to forward defense is needed to cope with the multiple shifts in the security environment: Russian war of aggression, the change of technological generation, dilemmas of resources and apabilities, limits and multiple challenges from the international environment with superposed simultaneous crises. The perspective of possible attacks on NATO territory – in the next 2-3-5-8 years – requires a review of the concept and, consequently, of the political decisions, strategic planning, enforcement of those decisions, and development of forces and capabilities on the ground. Combining nuclear flexible capabilities, a strategy of massive retaliation with conventional forces and deterrence by reinforcement, deterrence by denial, forward presence, rapid projection capabilities, resolution, effective decisionmaking, and forward posture, we could build a new, updated doctrine of forward defense. However, the debate has to consider what is theoretically developed, technically feasible, politically acceptable, financially sustainable, and strategically credible in the „new forward defense” for granting inviolability of allied territory. The basic limitation is to define and refine forward defense without a reconsideration beyond existing means.

Published: July 2024

Background: Skin permeability coefficient (logKp) is a major determinant for topical drugs. In vitro and ex vivo determination of logKp is expensive, time and labour intensive, and difficult to apply to large databases. QSPR models derived from statistical correlation between descriptors of the compounds with the in vitro or ex vivo permeation data, are therefore used extensively. Vast number of QSPR equations makes the selection of a particular equation to screen a database, difficult choice.
Objective: This study has evaluated common descriptor based equations for selection of the best suitable equation for screening phytochemical library of Camellia sinensis.
Methods: Seven QSPR based models were used to estimate and compare the logKp of tea compounds. The best method was selected with respect to the gold standard logKp.
Result: The model of Potts and Guy showed close proximation with the gold standard logKp and had highest association along with least RMSE value and least deviation. According to this method, approximately, 37.38%, 35.35% and 27.27% of the tea compounds were found to have high, good and poor logKp respectively.
Conclusion: Potts and Guy equation can be effectively used to screen the phytochemical library of Camellia sinensis. This study has potential application in the field of topical medicine and cosmetics.

Published: July 2024

Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is a globally significant root vegetable, rich in bioactive and nutritional compounds. Carrot is a crop with a wide range of phenotypic variability including colour, shape, size, and other characteristics. The aim of this work was to determine and compare selected morphological traits and chemical composition of 24 carrot varieties grown under open field conditions in Slovakia. Altogether, 11 qualitative characteristics and 6 quantitative parameters were evaluated. The carrot roots were also analysed for essential chemical constituents including reducing sugars (fructose, glucose, saccharose), carotenoids, dietary fibre, dry matter, ash, and mineral compounds. A wide range of diversity in morphological characteristics and chemical composition indicates a high variability of studied varieties. The root length ranged from 59 to 205 mm, root diameter varied from 17.7 to 39.0 mm and root weight ranged from 21.0 to 74.8 g. Based on the measurement results, saccharose was the dominant sugar ranging from 1.89 to 4.67 g.100 g-1 of fresh weight, carotenoid content varied from 85.94 to 374.24 µg.g-1 of fresh weight, the amount of dietary fibre ranged from 25.67 to 36.02% of dry matter. Considerable differences were also observed in the content of macro and microelements [mg.100 g-1] ranging as follows: P (17.5 - 52.0), K (110.0 – 337.0), Na (65.9 – 186.0), Fe (0.324 – 3.340), Cu (0.042 – 0.126), Zn (0.152 – 0.945) and Mn (0.062 – 0.189). The presented results can provide useful information for carrot growers and consumers in terms of morphological characteristics as well as the chemical composition of individual carrot varieties.

The aim of this study was to characterize properties of edible chitosan packaging with the addition of elderberry pollen. Experimentally produced edible packaging contained 0.075 g; 0.15 g and 0.3 g of elderberry pollen. The results demonstrate the flexibility reduction of the coating from 122.34 ± 10.63% in the control to 90.24 ± 5.08% in the sample with the addition of 0.3 g of pollen. The pollen addition also increased the antioxidant activity the FRAP method it increased from 0.004 µmol Trolox/g in the control to 0.147 µmol Trolox/g in the package with the highest pollen addition, and an increase in values was also observed for the ABTS method. In connection with this, an increase in total polyphenols was also observed. Sensory analysis showed that not a single package was evaluated negatively. Only the aroma affected by the addition of pollen was evaluated as negative. The change in immunoreactivity was not confirmed. The results of measuring the colour characteristics of the image analysis method show that the addition of pollen increases the values of yellowness in relation to the amount of added pollen (7.73 ± 1.28 for control, 25.58 ± 4.72 for the sample with the addition of 0.3 g pollen) (p < 0.05). The addition of pollen also affected the size of the particles and their distance. The largest proportion of particles (11.71%) with a size of 800-1200 µm2 was in the sample with the highest addition of pollen.
