description: Some merging galaxy clusters host diffuse elongated radio sources, also called radio relics. It is proposed that these radio relics trace shock waves in the intracluster medium created during a cluster merger event. Within the shock waves particles are accelerated to relativistic energies, and in the presence of a magnetic field synchrotron radiation will be emitted. Here we present GMRT and WSRT observations of a new double relic in the galaxy cluster ZwCl 0008.8+5215. Optical V, R, and I band images of the cluster were taken with the INT. An optical spectrum, to determine the redshift of the cluster, was taken with the WHT. Our observations show the presence of a double radio relic in the galaxy cluster ZwCl 0008.8+5215, for which we find a spectroscopic redshift of z = 0.1032 \pm 0.0018 from an optical spectrum of one of the cD galaxies. The spectral index of the two relics steepens inwards to the cluster center. For part of the relics, we measure a polarization fraction in the range ~ 5-25%. A ROSAT X-ray image displays an elongated ICM and the large-scale distribution of galaxies reveals two cluster cores, all pointing towards a binary cluster merger event. The radio relics are located symmetrically with respect to the X-ray center of the cluster, along the proposed merger axis. The relics have a linear extent of 1.4 Mpc and 290 kpc. This factor of five difference in linear size is unlike that of previously known double relic systems, for which the sizes do not differ by more than a factor of two. We conclude that the double relics in ZwCl 0008.8+5215 are best explained by two outward moving shock waves in which particles are (re)accelerated trough the diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) mechanism.

description: В данной статье речь идет о генезисе так называемой «партии власти» в России, её особенностях. Предметом исследования выступает политическая элита субъектов РФ как главная движущая сила её становления и развития (на примере регионов Центрального Черноземья). Её целью является исследование роли региональной правящей элиты в функционировании «партии власти» посредством институционального и функционального подходов, в рамках различных видов анализа. Здесь характеризуются основные тенденции, возникшие в партийном строительстве России в начале 90-х гг. прошлого века, их результаты. Автор анализирует состояние политической элиты, включая и правящую элиту субъектов РФ, причины их идейной, политической и экономической разобщённости. При этом делается акцент на эволюции воззрений властвующих элит в отношении политических партий и движений (на примере регионов Центрального Черноземья). В статье рассматриваются попытки возрождения «партии власти» в новых социально-политических отношениях, её различные модели на региональном и федеральном уровне (концепция так называемой «третьей силы»), их цели, задачи и противоречия. Автор характеризует причины возобновления интереса к вышеуказанной концепции в начале 2000-х гг. нового столетия и становления российской «партии власти» нового типа. Рассматривается также комплекс проблем, способствовавших консолидации российской властвующей элиты, в том числе на уровне регионов (на примере Центрального Черноземья), их результаты. В заключении даётся оценка возможных перспектив развития региональных организаций «партии власти», их роли в социально-политических процессах современной России.
Suspicious Moderate: The Life and Writings of Francis à Sancta Clara (1598-1680)
Creators: name: Davenport, Anne Ashley
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2023

description: The historiography of English Catholicism has grown enormously in the last generation, led by scholars such as Peter Lake, Michael Questier, Stefania Tutino, and others. In Suspicious Moderate, Anne Ashley Davenport makes a significant contribution to that literature by presenting a long overdue intellectual biography of the influential English Catholic theologian Francis à Sancta Clara (1598-1680). Born into a Protestant family in Coventry at the end of the sixteenth century, Sancta Clara joined the Franciscan order in 1617. He played key roles in reviving the English Franciscan province and in the efforts that were sponsored by Charles I to reunite the Church of England with Rome. In his voluminous Latin writings, he defended moderate Anglican doctrines, championed the separation of church and state, and called for state protection of freedom of conscience.

Suspicious Moderate offers the first detailed analysis of Sancta Clara’s works. In addition to his notorious Deus, natura, gratia (1634), Sancta Clara wrote a comprehensive defense of episcopacy (1640), a monumental treatise on ecumenical councils (1649), and a treatise on natural philosophy and miracles (1662). By carefully examining the context of Sancta Clara’s ideas, Davenport argues that he aimed at educating English Roman Catholics into a depoliticized and capacious Catholicism suited to personal moral reasoning in a pluralistic world. In the course of her research, Davenport also discovered that “Philip Scot,” the author of the earliest English discussions of Hobbes (a treatise published in 1650), was none other than Sancta Clara. Davenport demonstrates how Sancta Clara joined the effort to fight Hobbes’s Erastianism by carefully reflecting on Hobbes’s pioneering ideas and by attempting to find common ground with him, no matter how slight.

description: We present extensive simulation studies on the performance of algorithms for the Compton sequence reconstruction used for the development of a portable spectroscopic instrument (COCAE), with the capability to localize and identify radioactive sources, by exploiting the Compton scattering imaging. Various Compton Sequence reconstruction algorithms have been compared using a large number of simulated events. These algorithms are based on Compton kinematics, as well as on statistical test criteria that exploit the redundant information of events having two or more photon interactions in the active detector's volume. The efficiency of the best performing technique is estimated for a wide range of incident gamma-ray photons emitted from point-like gamma sources.

description: В настоящей статье проведен сравнительный анализ социально-демографических характеристик и каналов рекрутирования региональной политической элиты КПРФ и «Справедливой России». В качестве региональной партийной элиты мы исследовали руководителей отделений политических партий «КПРФ» и «Справедливая Россия», занимающих ключевые позиции в партийных структурах и отвечающих за отбор и продвижение кандидатов на выборах всех уровней. Эмпирическую базу исследования составили биографические данные 170 представителей партийной элиты. Анализ социально-демографических характеристик показал различия в возрастной структуре представителей партийной элиты КПРФ и «Справедливой России». В региональной элите КПРФ основной демографической группой являются люди старше 60 лет, в «Справедливой России» от 40 до 50 лет. В течение последних лет в КПРФ идет активный процесс омоложения региональной элиты за счет собственных партийных кадров, в отличие от «Справедливой России», где система обновления элиты носит случайный и несистемный характер. Представительство женщин элите обеих партий незначительно и составляет 9% у КПРФ и 11% у «Справедливой России». В ходе исследования было зафиксировано увеличение доли профессиональных юристов среди молодого поколения (25-40 лет) региональной элиты обеих партий. Наконец, мы выделили существенные различия в ключевых канал рекрутирования элитных групп. В КПРФ половина руководящего состава региональной элиты КПРФ была отобрана по итогам длительной партийной работы, в том числе и в советской номенклатуре. В «Справедливой России», ключевым каналом рекрутирования является крупный и средний бизнес региона.
Neither abuse, nor neglect: A duty of care perspective on academic integrity

Publisher: name: Canadian Perspectives on Academic Integrity
Year: 2020

description: Approaches and mindsets related to academic integrity are increasingly bifurcating into two polarized camps: one that is characterized by a law-and-order approach and one that prioritizes student experience. The first has been accused of being abusive or insensitive to the stress and anxiety that the approach may cause students, the latter of being neglectful of the need to maintain high standards of academic integrity. This polarization is unhelpful as it hinders thoughtful discussion as well as the formulation of balanced solutions that maintain high standards of academic integrity while also being sensitive to the psycho-emotional needs of students. To address these issues, we propose a duty-of-care perspective, which is based on the principle that as educators, we have a duty-of-care obligation to others and we must therefore act to address academic misconduct, but not without a consideration of the costs and burdens it places on others. Our duty-of-care perspective offers a framework that provides (1) a prosocial motivation and frame of reference for dealing with academic integrity, (2) a guide for developing and assessing alternative courses of action in a balanced and holistic way and, (3) a frame for messaging to stakeholders that we have a duty to act based upon care and shared responsibilities. If we are all in this together, rather than retreating into opposing camps, the duty-of-care perspective unites us around our shared responsibilities.

Reducing plagiarism and improving writing: A lesson from Chinese painting
Creators: name: Rovere, Dennis Allen
Publisher: name: Canadian Perspectives on Academic Integrity
Year: 2020

description: Both research and experience has established that plagiarism is a relatively common feature in L2 writing. This is the result of several factors, including lack of understanding of the original material, limitations in academic vocabulary, time constraints, and so on. Although there are specific sanctioned instances where copying and presenting works as your own in cultures such as Chinese, plagiarism is never allowed. How then can a university level writing instructor overcome the confusion this creates among groups such as Chinese L2 students? In response to this question, the author proposes a theoretical model, based upon a traditional analytical framework for Chinese painting – where copying is a requirement. This model mimics the Six Principles proposed by Hsieh He’s [or Xiè Hè’s – 謝赫] in 520 AD. By modifying, translating, and directly applying these Six Principles to writing, students can better learn how to avoid plagiarism, gain a greater understanding of the material they are reading, and develop ways to better express themselves.

CO2 capture processes in power plants - Le captage du CO2 dans les centrales thermiques
Creators: name: Bouallou, Chakib

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This review is devoted to assess and compare various processes aiming at recover CO2 from power plants fed with natural gas (NGCC) and pulverized coal (PC). These processes are post combustion CO2 capture using chemical solvents, natural gas reforming for pre-combustion capture and oxy-fuel combustion with cryogenic recovery of CO2. These processes were evaluated to give some clues for choosing the best option for each type of power plant. The comparison of these various concepts suggests that, in the short and medium term, chemical absorption is the most interesting process for NGCC power plants. For CP power plants, oxy-combustion can be a very interesting option, as well as post-combustion capture by chemical solvents.

description: This paper presents a novel communication device developed using experience design and by taking the subjective values of the final user in the early steps of the design process. In this case, the system is dedicated to French elderly women with limited mobility and limited technological understanding, enabling them to communicate with members of their social group who are in the proximity of their homes. The method is based on extensive gerontology research, face-to-face interviews and three user co-design sessions, which necessitated the development of low-fidelity prototypes. As a result of our research, we propose Birdy, an interactive tabletop system.

Application of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to improve pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia outcomes
Creators: name: Gynn, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most commonly diagnosed childhood cancer in Canada and continues to need improvements in the care patients receive. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) is a generally nonpathogenic organism that has the potential to affect both stages of leukemia (preleukemia and leukemia) and improve ALL outcomes by acting as a drug delivery vehicle for L-ASNase and/or influence leukemogenesis by inducing early-life, antileukemic immune activity. Mild infectious exposures during infancy and childhood has consistently been shown to influence leukemogenesis. In mice, early-life infections can deplete preleukemic cells and prevent preleukemia developing into leukemia. If preleukemia develops into ALL, children undergo chemotherapy that includes the enzyme L-asparaginase (L-ASNase). ALL cells characteristically stop expressing the enzyme asparagine synthetase (AS) and rely on extracellular sources for L-ASN. L-ASNase depletes extracellular L-ASN, selectively starving ALL cells of L-ASN, and consequently inducing their apoptosis. To evaluate the efficacy of S. cerevisiae to improve L-ASNase therapy, it was first engineered to constitutively express cell-wall associated L-ASNase-II (AEY – asparaginase expressing yeast). The cell-wall association may improve ALL therapy by shielding L-ASNase from immune detection and consequently reducing the cost, toxicity, and immunogenicity of L-ASNase therapy. In vitro, AEY co-cultured with ALL cell lines can deplete L-ASN levels leading to apoptosis and inhibited cell growth in the asparagine synthetase (AS)-negative cell line RS4;11, but not the AS-positive cell lines BV173 and 697. The AEY biomass required to yield a therapeutic L-ASNase dose exceeds the current ethical limitations for further study in vivo. To determine if S. cerevisiae can activate early-life, antileukemic immune activity, S. cerevisiae was injected intraperitoneally into day-6-old Eμ-RET mice and the effect on preleukemic burden was assessed. S. cerevisiae is unable to activate the IL-17A and Natural Killer (NK) cell-dependent immune response that has been shown to deplete preleukemic cells. Additionally, both in vitro and in vivo stimulation of NK cells with IL-17A does not directly lead to their activation. Further investigation into the mechanism leading to the activation of antileukemic NK cells may uncover new immunotherapeutic approaches for ALL.

description: The study of {\em balls-into-bins processes} or {\em occupancy problems} has a long history. These processes can be used to translate realistic problems into mathematical ones in a natural way. In general, the goal of a balls-into-bins process is to allocate a set of independent objects (tasks, jobs, balls) to a set of resources (servers, bins, urns) and, thereby, to minimize the maximum load. In this paper, we analyze the maximum load for the {\em chains-into-bins} problem, which is defined as follows. There are $n$ bins, and $m$ objects to be allocated. Each object consists of balls connected into a chain of length $\ell$, so that there are $m \ell$ balls in total. We assume the chains cannot be broken, and that the balls in one chain have to be allocated to $\ell$ consecutive bins. We allow each chain $d$ independent and uniformly random bin choices for its starting position. The chain is allocated using the rule that the maximum load of any bin receiving a ball of that chain is minimized. We show that, for $d \ge 2$ and $m\cdot\ell=O(n)$, the maximum load is $((\ln \ln m)/\ln d) +O(1)$ with probability $1-\tilde O(1/m^{d-1})$.

description: In recent years, the significant growth of RDF data used in numerous applications has made its efficient and scalable manipulation an important issue. In this paper, we present RDFViewS, a system capable of choosing the most suitable views to materialize, in order to minimize the query response time for a specific SPARQL query workload, while taking into account the view maintenance cost and storage space constraints. Our system employs practical algorithms and heuristics to navigate through the search space of potential view configurations, and exploits the possibly available semantic information - expressed via an RDF Schema - to ensure the completeness of the query evaluation.

description: Статья посвящена гендерному аспекту пенсионной реформы в Российской Федерации. Несправедливость более позднего выхода мужчин на пенсию по сравнению с женщинами как таковая усиливается значительно более низкой средней продолжительностью жизни российских мужчин по сравнению с женщинами. При этом в последние десятилетия мировой опыт представляет тенденцию к уравниванию возраста для выхода на пенсию для мужчин и женщин. В России же законодателем не было даже учтено ни резко негативное общественное мнение по вопросу повышения пенсионного возраста, ни низкая средняя продолжительность жизни в России по сравнению с развитыми странами, в соответствии с опытом которых возраст выхода на пенсию по старости в 2018 г. было принято решение поэтапно увеличить до 65 лет для мужчин и 60 лет для женщин. Автором приведена статистика по средней продолжительности жизни в России, в т.ч. мужчин в различных субъектах Российской Федерации, рассмотрена история проблемы, приведена мировая практика в вопросе пенсионной реформы последних десятилетий, а также дан анализ норм международного права и правовых позиций Конституционного Суда Российской Федерации по вопросу возможного нарушения гендерного равенства при выходе на пенсию мужчин на 5 лет позже женщин.
Radio and X-ray Observations of the Type Ic SN 2007gr Reveal an Ordinary, Non-relativistic Explosion

description: We present extensive radio and X-ray observations of the nearby Type Ic SN 2007gr in NGC 1058 obtained with the Very Large Array and the Chandra X-ray Observatory and spanning 5 to 150 days after explosion. Through our detailed modeling of these data, we estimate the properties of the blastwave and the circumstellar environment. We find evidence for a freely-expanding and non-relativistic explosion with an average blastwave velocity, v~0.2c, and a total internal energy for the radio emitting material of E ~ 2 x 10^46 erg assuming equipartition of energy between electrons and magnetic fields (epsilon_e=epsilon_B=0.1). The temporal and spectral evolution of the radio emission points to a stellar wind-blown environment shaped by a steady progenitor mass loss rate of Mdot ~ 6 x 10^-7 solar masses per year (wind velocity, v_w=10^3 km/s). These parameters are fully consistent with those inferred for other SNe Ibc and are in line with the expectations for an ordinary, homologous SN explosion. Our results are at odds with those of Paragi et al. (2010) who recently reported evidence for a relativistic blastwave in SN 2007gr based on their claim that the radio emission was resolved away in a low signal-to-noise Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observation. Here we show that the exotic physical scenarios required to explain the claimed relativistic velocity -- extreme departures from equipartition and/or a highly collimated outflow -- are excluded by our detailed Very Large Array radio observations. Moreover, we present an independent analysis of the VLBI data and propose that a modest loss of phase coherence provides a more natural explanation for the apparent flux density loss which is evident on both short and long baselines. We conclude that SN 2007gr is an ordinary Type Ibc supernova.

description: Какие факторы влияют на уровень представительности женщин в парламентах? В научной литературе существует несколько объяснительных моделей, но в отношении одной сложился широкий консенсус. Исследования показывают, что имеет место быть сильная корреляция между уровнем представленности женщин и типом избирательной системы. В работах отмечается, что высокое представительство женщин в парламенте связано с проведением выборов на основе пропорциональной избирательной системы. Автор подчеркивает, что к данному утверждению ученые пришли в результате, во-первых, анализа данных экономически развитых стран, консолидированных демократий и, во-вторых, проведения межстрановых исследований. Целью настоящей статьи является проверка данного положения в российских условиях. Для достижения этой цели автор собрал эмпирический материал, основу которого составили списки кандидатов (как федеральные, так и по одномандатным округам) политических партий. Методом исследования стал регрессионный анализ. В результате статистических расчетов автор пришел к выводу, что думские выборы по пропорциональной системе не обеспечивают высокое представительство женщин в Госдуме. Показано, что система голосования не работает автоматически в плане определения доли женщин-парламентариев. Избирательные системы являются одними из многих факторов, которые могут повлиять на представительство женщин в законодательных органах. Другими факторами выступают такие партийные характеристики, такие как партийная идеология.

description: We study the simulated CO emission from elliptical galaxies formed in the mergers of gas-rich disk galaxies. The cold gas not consumed in the merger-driven starburst quickly resettles into a disk-like configuration. By analyzing a variety of arbitrary merger orbits that produce a range of fast to slow-rotating remnants, we find that molecular disk formation is a fairly common consequence of gas-rich galaxy mergers. Hence, if a molecular disk is observed in an early-type merger remnant, it is likely the result of a "wet merger" rather than a "dry merger". We compare the physical properties from our simulated disks (e.g. size and mass) and find reasonably good agreement with recent observations. Finally, we discuss the detectability of these disks as an aid to future observations.

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of internal features on affect, especially subdivision by line segments including the golden section. The effects of horizontal and vertical segments were conducted separately in experiment 1, and the interaction effect of a combination between horizontal and vertical segments in experiment 2. As a result, the affective impressions were altered according to the changes of segments regardless of the sort of segments (horizontal and vertical). In particular, various affective impressions were influenced by the ratio of segments rather than the position of segments. As for the golden section, it was unable to score high on the ‘stability’ scales. Considering the overall result of various impressions, however, it is consistent with the previous study’s result that the golden section was preferred.

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: This paper addresses the estimation of locally stationary long-range dependent processes, a methodology that allows the statistical analysis of time series data exhibiting both nonstationarity and strong dependency. A time-varying parametric formulation of these models is introduced and a Whittle likelihood technique is proposed for estimating the parameters involved. Large sample properties of these Whittle estimates such as consistency, normality and efficiency are established in this work. Furthermore, the finite sample behavior of the estimators is investigated through Monte Carlo experiments. As a result from these simulations, we show that the estimates behave well even for relatively small sample sizes.

description: Ареал, включающий в себя водные просторы Красного моря и Аденского залива, по которым прокладывали курс еще древние мореплаватели, а также сухопутные пространства Северо-Восточной Африки (Африканский Рог и сопредельные территории), стремительно превращается в важный в геополитическом плане регион. Речь идет об обеспечении свободного доступа в Красное море и, следовательно, к Суэцкому каналу, что значительно сокращает маршрут и уменьшает время доставки грузов (в том числе энергоносителей), облегчает и удешевляет товарообмен между странами Европы и Азии. Однако столь важный в стратегическом плане регион оказывается крайне нестабильным и турбулентным. Судоходство здесь осуществляется, отчасти, по нескольким узким проливам, получившим в экспертной среде наименование «удушающих» и «шоковых точек» современной геополитики. Четко обозначилась тенденция к усилению соперничества в этом некогда «сонном» регионе: такие арабские страны, как Египет, Саудовская Аравия, ОАЭ, стремятся обеспечить здесь свои интересы в конкуренции с другими ближневосточными «тяжеловесами» – Турцией и Ираном, и к указанным последними неарабским акторам с недавних пор примыкает Катар. Ускорившаяся динамика событий приводит к изменениям в балансе сил, что не остается без внимания внерегиональных держав – Китая, США и других, включая, конечно же, и Россию. В представленной статье ставится задача осмыслить сложившиеся политические реалии в рассматриваемом регионе, выявить военно-политические и торгово-экономические факторы, детерминирующие геостратегическую важность акватории Красного моря и прилегающих к нему территорий, определить особенности отношений между странами региона, а также их взаимодействие с внерегиональными игроками.

description: Pruitt's estimates on the expectation and the distribution of the time taken by a random walk to exit a ball of radius r are extended to the infinite dimensional setting. It is shown that they separate into two pairs of estimates depending on whether the space is type 2 or cotype 2. It is further shown that these estimates characterize type 2 and cotype 2 spaces.

description: We introduce an effective field theory approach that describes the motion of finite size objects under the influence of electromagnetic fields. We prove that leading order effects due to the finite radius $R$ of a spherically symmetric charge is order $R^2$ rather than order $R$ in any physical model, as widely claimed in the literature. This scaling arises as a consequence of Poincaré and gauge symmetries, which can be shown to exclude linear corrections. We use the formalism to calculate the leading order finite size correction to the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac force.

description: The International Day of Action (IDoA) Against Contract Cheating occurred October 21st 2020 and coincided with the Carnegie Council’s Global Ethics Day. This year over 250 organizations registered for the event from around the world. While speaking up and out against contract cheating remained a main theme for the day, there was also a keen interest to inspire and promote international connections. Active student involvement and an ambitious 20 hours of live feed were just two of the accomplishments for the day. Canadian voices were also present leading up to and during the day.

2019

description: The domestic political scene in 2019 was dominated by speculation over whether President Pierre Nkurunziza would again run for office in the 2020 elections, and if not, who would be the ruling party’s candidate. The ruling ‘Conseil national pour la défense de la démocratie – Forces pour la défense de la démocratie’ (CNDD-FDD) continued to consolidate its hold on power, while proceeding with transforming the political, social, and economic landscape of the country in line with its vision for the state. The registration of a new party by Agathon Rwasa – considered to be Nkurunziza’s main competitor – constituted a major development in national politics. Meanwhile, most opponents of Nkurunziza’s regime who left Burundi in 2015 remained outside of the country. Mediation initiatives to bring them back, and to overcome the deep political and societal divisions that fuelled the 2015 crisis, remained deadlocked. Burundi’s relations with neighbouring countries, especially Rwanda, and with the international community continued to be tense.
Holographic renormalization for irrelevant operators and multi-trace counterterms

description: We investigate the structure of holographic renormalization in the presence of sources for irrelevant operators. By working perturbatively in the sources we avoid issues related to the non-renormalizability of the dual field theory. We find new classes of divergences which appear to be non-local on the gravity side. However in all cases a systematic renormalization procedure exists involving either standard local counterterms or new counterterms which may be interpreted as multi-trace counterterms in the field theory. The multi-trace counterterms reflect a more intricate relation between sources and the asymptotics of bulk fields.

The relationship between white matter lesion volume with vascular stiffness, mobility and cognitive performance in older adults with vascular cognitive impairment
Creators: name: Al Keridy, Walid Ahmed
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Background: Sub-cortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment (SIVCI) is the most prevalent form of Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI). Previous studies have shown that Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (CF-PWV), cognitive function, mobility performance and blood pressure are related to White Matter Lesions (WMLs) volume, but whether these associations exist in those with mild SIVCI is unclear. Thus, in this study of older adults with mild SIVCI, I examined four questions: 1) What is the association between total, deep and periventricular WMLs volume on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with CF-PWV? 2) What are the associations between total, deep and periventricular WMLs volume and measures of global cognitive function and executive function? 3) What is the association between total, deep and periventricular WMLs volume with mobility performance? 4) What is the association between total, deep and periventricular WMLs volume with systolic and diastolic blood pressure? Methods: The data of 34 participants diagnosed with mild SIVCI were used for this cross-sectional analysis. Measures of interest included global cognitive function tests, such as Alzheimer’s disease Assessment Scale Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-cog) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Executive functions were assessed with paper Stroop test, Trails Making Tests (A&B) and animal fluency. Mobility performance was assessed with the Time Up and Go test (TUG) and usual gait speed. CF-PWV was measured using the Complior System (ALAM Medical, France). WMLs volume was quantified for the total, deep and periventricular WMLs with a semi-automated technique. Results: We did not find an association between total or periventricular WMLs volume with CF-PWV, executive function, global cognitive function, mobility performance or blood pressure. Deep WMLs volume was associated with Trails B-A and animal category fluency but not associated with measures of global cognitive function. Deep WMLs volume was significantly associated with diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion: In this exploratory analysis, deep WMLs volume is associated with executive function and diastolic blood pressure. While systolic hypertension has been strongly linked to large vessel stroke events which are commonly complicated by post stroke cognitive impairment and dementia, our findings provide possible mechanistic insight to previous studies that found association between diastolic blood pressure and cognitive decline.

description: In this paper, we investigate the spectral properties of the adjacency and the Laplacian matrices of random graphs. We prove that: (i) the law of large numbers for the spectral norms and the largest eigenvalues of the adjacency and the Laplacian matrices; (ii) under some further independent conditions, the normalized largest eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrices are dense in a compact interval almost surely; (iii) the empirical distributions of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrices converge weakly to the free convolution of the standard Gaussian distribution and the Wigner's semi-circular law; (iv) the empirical distributions of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrices converge weakly to the Wigner's semi-circular law.

Elections
2020

description: Le Conseil national pour la défense de la démocratie – Forces pour la défense de la démocratie (CNDD-FDD) a progressivement consolidé sa position hégémonique ces 15 dernières années au Burundi. En 2015, une crise avait poussé une bonne partie de l’opposition à l’exil, suite à des manifestations contre la candidature controversée du président Pierre Nkurunziza et un coup d’État ayant échoué. La question centrale était de savoir si Nkurunziza se présenterait à nouveau pour le rendez-vous électoral de 2020. À la surprise de beaucoup d’observateurs, notamment des partis politiques de l’opposition et de la communauté internationale, Nkurunziza ne s’est pas représenté. Ces élections furent une épreuve de force entre deux anciens groupes rebelles transformés en partis politiques. Le candidat du parti au pouvoir qui a remporté cette élection est Evariste Ndayishimiye. Le principal candidat de l'opposition était Agathon Rwasa, le leader du parti Congrès national pour la liberté (CNL). L’agrément du CNL à participer aux élections a été largement interprété comme un « geste de détente » dans un pays critiqué pour le rétrécissement de son espace politique. C’est la première fois depuis l’indépendance du Burundi que le président sortant soutient un autre candidat aux élections présidentielles. Ces élections se sont déroulées en l'absence de nombreux opposants contraints à l’exil et quasiment sans observateurs internationaux. Malgré l’éclosion de la pandémie de Covid-19, le gouvernement burundais a décidé de maintenir la tenue des élections. Les résultats des élections ont donné une victoire nette au parti au pouvoir qui remporte les élections présidentielles, parlementaires et communales.
