description: Cette étude a porté sur une association et une union féminines rurales dans la région du Centre-Est du Burkina Faso. Elle visait à montrer comment les femmes rurales se réapproprient ou non les injonctions à l’intégration des femmes et à l’égalité des genres postulées depuis l’apparition de l’ouvrage de Esther Boserup. À travers un travail d’observation directe de trois mois dans chacune des deux organisations féminines, l’étude essaye de saisir leur processus de déploiement à travers les acteur·rice·s locaux, nationaux et internationaux, acteur·rice·s « ordinaires » et institutionnels, ainsi que les dynamiques politiques, sociales et économiques qui participent à leur contingence structurelle. L’approche généalogique suivant la perspective de Foucault a permis de donner voix au chapitre aux savoirs locaux disqualifiés, anonymes, non savants des actrices et acteurs locaux. Nous avons aussi effectué 35 entretiens avec des membres de bureau, des adhérentes, des membres du personnel, des personnes ressources et des acteurs institutionnels. Les résultats de cette recherche indiquent la présence d’un leadership par le bas des organisations féminines rurales qui n’a pas attendu les injonctions ou impulsions des pouvoirs publics et autres acteurs de l’aide au développement pour apparaître. Le leadership féminin constitue un ferment efficace de rassemblement des femmes qui leur assure une visibilité et reconnaissance sociale, politique et économique. Cette reconnaissance constitue un levier et une passerelle pour accéder aux partenaires techniques et financiers (étatiques, privés, société civile) indispensables pour une expansion des activités des organisations féminines et la remise en cause de certaines barrières ou obstacles (propriété foncière, analphabétisation, militantisme politique, etc.) profondément enracinés. Les deux organisations sont cependant confrontées à des défis de nature diverse : développement économique local tourné vers la production de type industriel, exigences particulières du bailleur de fonds international, bureaucratisation accrue, financements par projet, exigences d’imputabilité et de redevabilité. Ces défis, s’ils ne sont pas propres à ces associations, sont cependant accentués si l’on tient compte des rapports sociaux de sexe en contexte burkinabè rural.

description: Spectrum Theory is a groundbreaking conceptual framework that transcends traditional  dichotomous thinking by exploring continua—the fluid, relational spaces between  endpoints. Developed through systematic experimentation with ChatGPT, Spectrum  Theory introduces a methodology for mapping complexity, identifying emergent  properties, and synthesizing novel insights across domains, yielding outputs  characterized by interdisciplinary depth and emergent creativity. Key elements of the  theory include Endpoints (conceptual anchors), the Continua (the infinite gradient of  relationships), Poles of Interaction (temporary scaffolds for exploration), Zones of  Convergence (fields of emergent synthesis), and the Z Lens (contextual filters for dynamic  application).

This paper demonstrates the efficacy of Spectrum Theory as both a theoretical model and  a practical tool for prompting AI systems. Comparative testing reveals that Spectrum  Prompting produces more nuanced, in-depth, and innovative outputs than traditional  Straightforward Prompting, while fostering exploration of intermediate zones and  emergent ideas. By leveraging relational continua, users can improve prompting  techniques and unlock the AI’s latent capabilities for interdisciplinary reasoning, creative  synthesis, and structured exploration.

Beyond enhancing AI performance, Spectrum Theory mirrors human cognitive  processes, offering insights into decision-making, abstraction, and the exploration of  ambiguity. The implications extend to AI design, philosophy, education, and systems  thinking, where dynamic relational frameworks can bridge the gap between structured  boundaries and emergent possibilities. Spectrum Theory not only improves AI-human  interactions but also invites a paradigm shift in how we engage with complexity, nuance,  and innovation.

description: The prevalence of online learning in higher education is driven by its numerous benefits, such as accessibility, flexibility, cost efficiency, and the global impact of COVID-19. Despite these advantages, lack of student engagement arises as a significant challenge. This study aims to address this issue by providing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model designed to improve online student engagement based on teachers' behaviours and movements in video conferencing. A design-based research (DBR) approach was employed to develop an AI model capable of auto-generating reports on engagement-enhancing teachers' behaviours and movements as characteristics and indicators of engaging teaching videos. The study is structured with three phases. In the initial phase, a systematic literature review identified 11 characteristics and 47 indicators of engaging teaching videos. During the second phase, an AI model was developed and trained using the identified characteristics and indicators under the guidance of an AI expert. Prototype 1 (model 1) was trained using manual annotations of 25 Zoom-recorded lectures. Prototype 2 (model 2) was refined using oversampling techniques to address data imbalance and misleading metrics obtained in Prototype 1 (model 1), resulting in improved model performance. In the final phase, the AI model underwent three levels of evaluation, analysing and comparing its reports with those generated by human experts. Comparison results revealed a low similarity rate between the AI model and the expert reports, indicating the need for further refinement to align the model's performance more closely with human experts. This research contributes a comprehensive list of characteristics and indicators of engaging teaching videos, aiding in enhancing online student engagement. The provided manual annotation procedure supports similar AI model development in the future. Moreover, collaboration between educators (experts) and AI engineers to develop and evaluate AI models in education is emphasised, thereby breaking the barriers between educators and AI scientists. The reports generated by the model will also support educational institutions in promoting continuous enhancements in teaching methods and practices.

Electrolyte Engineering Towards Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries for Wide Temperature Applications

description: Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) show promise for grid-scale energy storage but face challenges such as zinc dendrite growth, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and passivation. Practical applications in places with harsh temperature conditions require ZIBs to operate reliably across a wide temperature range. However, the high freezing points of aqueous electrolytes cause salt precipitation and reduced ionic conductivity at low temperatures. Ion transport, including the diffusion of Zn2+ in the bulk electrolyte, the desolvation of Zn2+ at the electrolyte/electrode interface, and the migration of Zn2+ through the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), is significantly slowed at subzero temperatures, leading to energy and power density loss. Electrolyte strategies such as "water-in-salt", co-solvent, additives, eutectic, and ionic liquids have been proposed to solve these challenges. The co-solvent strategy is an effective approach. Co-solvents with good miscibility with water can destroy the hydrogen bonds (HBs) between water molecules, thereby lowering the freezing point of the electrolyte. This thesis presents three innovative electrolyte design strategies using co-solvent systems to suppress side reactions, enhance anti-freezing properties, and improve zinc-ion transport kinetics. The weak co-solvent G2 reduces solvated water molecules and increases anion in the solvation sheath, resulting in a weakly solvating electrolyte with accelerated desolvation and suppressed side reactions. The strong co-solvent/H2O hybrid electrolyte suffers from sluggish desolvation kinetics. The coordination intervention strategy using urea and a halogen-mediated hybrid electrolyte strategy employing potassium iodide (KI) are proposed to weaken the coordination between Zn2+ and solvents. These approaches effectively inhibit water-related side reactions, accelerate Zn2+ diffusion and desolvation.This thesis offers a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between solvation structures (solvent-solvent, solvent-ion, and ion-ion interactions) and battery performance, including enhanced anti-freezing properties, highly reversible Zn plating/stripping, and accelerated Zn2+ transport kinetics. These innovative approaches lay a solid foundation and provide valuable insights for designing electrolytes for next-generation ZIBs.

description: In this article, we develop a new estimation and valid inference method for single or low-dimensional regression coefficients in high-dimensional generalized linear models. The number of the predictors is allowed to grow exponentially fast with respect to the sample size. The proposed estimator is computed by solving a score function. We recursively conduct model selection to reduce the dimensionality from high to a moderate scale and construct the score equation based on the selected variables. The proposed confidence interval (CI) achieves valid coverage without assuming consistency of the model selection procedure. When the selection consistency is achieved, we show the length of the proposed CI is asymptotically the same as the CI of the “oracle” method which works as well as if the support of the control variables were known. In addition, we prove the proposed CI is asymptotically narrower than the CIs constructed based on the desparsified Lasso estimator and the decorrelated score statistic. Simulation studies and real data applications are presented to back up our theoretical findings. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

Mild traumatic brain injury: bio-mechanistic consequences, evaluation, treatment and perspectives of TBI in athletics
Creators: name: Gee, Andrew
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Traumatic Brain Injury particularly of mild severity (mTBI) is a common yet poorlyunderstood phenomenon on the molecular level. Connections between mTBI and chronic neuropathologies have been established, but the molecular and cellular changes caused by mild and/or repeated TBIs remain poorly characterized in their occurrence and significance. The core of this thesis will focus on describing the current state of mTBI research, with a focus on its significance in the field of athletics. Molecular mechanisms following a Traumatic Brain Injury occur in both the acute phase and chronically, in the form of primary injuries including hemorrhage and edema resulting from the impact producing the TBI, and secondary injury consisting of progressive demyelination and neuronal loss due to persistent inflammatory states and cellular microenvironments.Current understanding of how and why recovery from single, or more commonly, multiple mTBIs may transition into a progressive disease state is poorly understood, with genetic and environmental factors almost certainly playing roles. Current diagnostic methods post-mTBI consist of subjective neurological evaluations which, while often correctly diagnose injury, lack the ability to provide insight into the biochemical changes occurring in the brain. Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance based imaging strategies provide more substantive structural information of the brain but their usage is limited in mTBI cases due to reasons including but not limited to cost, necessity and availability.The significance of mTBIs outside the sphere of science has historically been very limited and only in the past few decades has a push been made for greater translation of TBI related cause and effect to the general population. Specifically, athletes, a majority of which are adolescents and young adults, are especially at risk due to the nature of sport itself, as well as the culture surrounding high level competition. Greater understanding of the molecular changes underpinning the pathophysiology of mTBI could lead to treatments shortening the recovery time post injury and reducing risk of chronic progressive neurological dysfunction.

description: To improve the robustness of pre-trained language models (PLMs), previous studies have focused more on how to efficiently obtain adversarial samples with similar semantics, but less attention has been paid to the perturbed samples that change the gold label. Therefore, to fully perceive the effects of these different types of small perturbations on robustness, we propose a RObust Self-supervised leArning (ROSA) method, which incorporates different types of perturbed samples and the robustness improvements into a unified framework. Subsequently, to implement ROSA, a perturbed sample generation strategy supported by the large language models (LLMs) is proposed, which adaptively controls the generation process based on the fine-grained similarity information among the training samples. The experimental results demonstrate the remarkable performance of our ROSA.

description: Sale of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) products has exponentially increased in the past decade, which raise concerns about its safety. This updated review provides the available toxicology profile of e-cigarettes, summarizing evidence from in vitro and in vivo studies. Data regarding which components in e-liquids exhibit potential toxicities are inconsistent. Some studies have reported that nicotine plays a significant role in inducing adverse outcomes and that solvents alone do not induce any adverse effects. However, other studies have suggested that nicotine is not associated with any adverse outcomes, whereas solvents and flavorings are the key components to elicit considerable deleterious effects on cells or animals. In addition, most of the studies that have compared the toxicity of e-cigarettes with tobacco cigarettes have suggested that e-cigarettes are less toxic than tobacco cigarettes. Nevertheless, scientific evidence regarding the toxicity profile of e-cigarette is insufficient owing to the lack of a standardized research approach. In the future, scientific toxicology data derived from standardized testing protocols including nicotine, ingredients analysis, the various e-cigarette devices made from different materials are urgently needed for thorough toxicology assessment. This review aims to update the toxicity profiles, identify knowledge gaps, and outline future directions for e-cigarettes research, which would greatly benefit public health professionals.
Application of GPR early-time signal analysis for mapping and monitoring of soil moisture in the shallow vadose zone
Creators: name: Algeo, Jonathan Thomas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Understanding the distribution of soil water content (SWC) in the vadose zone is important for agricultural purposes, allowing farmers to maximize irrigation efficiency. SWC also influences biological and chemical processes in the vadose zone, and understanding SWC distribution is instrumental climate modeling. Geophysical methods, including ground penetrating radar (GPR), are commonly employed for rapid, non-invasive estimation of SWC distribution from the field to global scale. This thesis seeks to further develop recent methodologies that allow for the use of GPR in traditionally non-viable field sites, such as those with a clay-rich subsurface or saline intrusion, to estimate SWC in the very shallow subsurface.Through two field irrigation studies and one tank study, we compare three statistics derived from the GPR early-time signal (ETS), which are the overlapping air- and ground-waves: the average envelope amplitude (AEA) and carrier frequency amplitude (CFA) statistics, and the crosstalk frequency (CTF). We collected measurements using antennae ranging in frequency from 200 MHz to 1200 MHz, and supported them with electrical resistivity (ER), soil sample gravimetric analysis, and time-domain reflectometry (TDR) and capacitance probe measurements. In our experiments, we find that the AEA and CFA correlate strongly with SWC, including spatial and temporal changes. While the AEA and CFA both provide excellent qualitative estimates of moisture content variations, the CTF provides the potential ability to make quantitative estimates of relative dielectric permittivity (ε_r) across multiple materials using a system calibration. We demonstrate that the CTF statistic successfully estimates changes in ε_r in 0%, 5%, and 10% clay mixed with sand, which suggests it could be used in heterogeneous environments and multiple field sites to estimate ε_r via a single calibration performed in a lab environment. Site-specific calibrations would be required to convert ε_r to SWC.This thesis demonstrates that the ETS extends the usefulness of GPR to conductive materials by allowing for rapid estimation of changes in the SWC of the very shallow subsurface. Additionally, the CTF statistic provides a means by which to directly and quantitatively estimate SWC via measurement of ε_r, using a system calibration that is unaffected by changes in soil type.

description: Die Regulierung der Wohnmietmärkte ist aus dem täglichen Leben nicht mehr wegzudenken, in Deutschland wie auch in fast allen übrigen Ländern. Die Verwerfungen an den Immobilienmärkten im vergangenen Jahrzehnt haben die gesellschaftlichen Debatten hierzu befeuert. Mieterbewegungen weltweit fordern eine Verschärfung der Regulierung und führen die Bezahlbarkeit von Wohnraum als ein zentrales Bürgerrecht ins Feld. Regulierungsskeptiker fürchten hingegen die Beeinträchtigung der Marktmechanismen durch überbordende Regulierung. Wissenschaftliche Analysen zu dieser Thematik scheiterten bislang häufig an einer unzureichenden Datenbasis. Die vorliegende Studie nimmt sich dieser Problematik an und präsentiert einen einmaligen Datensatz, über den sich die Regulierung der Mietmärkte quantitativ abbilden lässt. Die Indizes zur Messung der Regulierungsintensität liegen für 64 Länder vor und reichen mehr als 100 Jahre zurück. Der im Internet frei verfügbare Datensatz bietet damit die Möglichkeit, die Regulierungsintensitäten und -regime ländervergleichend zu untersuchen. So zeigt sich etwa, dass Deutschland im europäischen Vergleich eine relativ intensive Mietpreiskontrolle hat, die seit 2015 noch verschärft wurde. Die Auswirkungen dieser Verschärfung sollten in Zukunft durch weitere Analysen begleitet werden.

description: 2-Ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate (EHMC) is one of the most commonly used sunscreen ingredient. In this study we investigated photodegradation of EHMC in the presence of such common oxidizing and chlorinating systems as H2O2, H2O2/HCl, H2O2/UV, and H2O2/HCl/UV. Reaction products were detected by gas chromatography with a mass spectrometric detector (GC-MS). As a result of experimental studies chloro-substituted 4-methoxycinnamic acid (4-MCA), 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (4-MBA) and 4-methoxyphenol (4-MP) were identified. Experimental studies were enriched with DFT and MP2 calculations. We found that reactions of 4-MCA, 4-MBA and 4-MP with Cl2 and HOCl were in all cases thermodynamically favorable. However, reactivity indices provide a better explanation of the formation of particular chloroorganic compounds. Generally, those isomeric forms of mono- and dichlorinated compounds which exhibits the highest hardness were identified. Nucleophilicity of the chloroorganic compounds precursors were examined by means of the Fukui function.

description: For a given nonempty subset $\mathcal{L}$ of the line set of $\PG(3,q)$, a set $X$ of points of $\PG(3,q)$ is called an $\mathcal{L}$-blocking set if each line in $\mathcal{L}$ contains at least one point of $X$. Consider an elliptic quadric $Q^-(3,q)$ in $\PG(3,q)$. Let $\mathcal{E}$ (respectively, $\mathcal{T}, \mathcal{S}$) denote the set of all lines of $\PG(3,q)$ which meet $Q^-(3,q)$ in $0$ (respectively, $1,2$) points. In this paper, we characterize the minimum size $\mathcal{L}$-blocking sets in $\PG(3,q)$, where $\mathcal{L}$ is one of the line sets $\mathcal{S}$, $\mathcal{E}\cup \mathcal{S}$, and $\mathcal{T}\cup \mathcal{S}$.

A new mathematical model for tiling finite regions of the plane with polyominoes

Publisher: name: Contributions to Discrete Mathematics
Year: 2020

description: We present a new mathematical model for tiling finite subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ using an arbitrary, but finite, collection of polyominoes. Unlike previous approaches that employ backtracking and other refinements of `brute-force' techniques, our method is based on a systematic algebraic approach, leading in most cases to an underdetermined system of linear equations to solve. The resulting linear system is a binary linear programming problem, which can be solved via direct solution techniques, or using well-known optimization routines. We illustrate our model with some numerical examples computed in MATLAB. Users can download, edit, and run the codes from http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/m_src/polyominoes/polyominoes.html. For larger problems we solve the resulting binary linear programming problem with an optimization package such as CPLEX, GUROBI, or SCIP, before plotting solutions in MATLAB.

title: Widening Participation to Higher Education for Adult Learners: The Past Matters
Creators: name: Fowle, Wendy
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2022

description: The study explores the concept of transformative learning within the context of widening participation (WP) to higher education (HE) for adult learners. It brings together the domains of adult education, lifelong learning, adult learning and widening participation. The research questioned the extent to which approaches to WP to HE effectively meet the needs of adult learners. Sub-questions explored how past educational experiences impact on adult learners and how the perceptions of adult learners could impact approaches to WP. Within the theoretical concept of transformative learning theory (Mezirow, 1991) I adopted a qualitative, interpretative method of enquiry through semi-structured interviews within the case study of adult learners engaged in a WP programme. I use the theoretical frameworks of transformative learning theory and critical pedagogy (Freire, 1972; hooks, 1994) alongside models of learning adopted by Illeris (2017) and Jarvis (2006) to reflect on their applicability to the case study. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with students who had engaged with preparatory and introductory HE courses. I was able to draw on my professional experience of embedding policy into practice to support adult learners into HE, recognising their distinct characteristics (McGivney, 1990; Stuart and Thomson, 1995; McGivney, 1996; Bamber and Tett, 2000), multiple identities (Waller, 2006; Butcher, 2015b; Mallman and Lee, 2016) and past experiences of education (Merrill, 2004; Askham, 2008; Goodchild, 2017). The main findings suggest that issues experienced as participants returned to learning were similar to those that they experienced during compulsory education, despite dedicated WP programmes. Findings suggest that pedagogical as well as dispositional, structural, institutional and situational barriers (Gorard, 2006) should be considered when supporting adult learners in and through their HE learning journey. In addition, the discourse around WP aimed at school children could reflect the concept of ‘lifelong participation’, whereby individual aspirations are positioned equally alongside those of WP practitioners.
Hyperball packings related to octahedron and cube tilings in hyperbolic space

description: In this paper, we study congruent and noncongruent hyperball (hypersphere) packings to the truncated regular cube and octahedron tilings. These are derived from the Coxeter truncated orthoscheme tilings $\{4,3,p\}$ $(6< p \in \mathbb{N})$ and $\{3,4,p\}$ $(4< p \in \mathbb{N})$, respectively, by their Coxeter reflection groups in hyperbolic space $\HYP$. We determine the densest hyperball packing arrangement and its density with congruent and noncongruent hyperballs. We prove that the locally densest (noncongruent half) hyperball configuration belongs to the truncated cube with a density of approximately $0.86145$ if we allow $6< p \in \mathbb{R}$ for the dihedral angle $2\pi/p$. This local density is larger than the B\"or\"oczky--Florian density upper bound for balls and horoballs. But our locally optimal noncongruent hyperball packing configuration cannot be extended to the entire hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$. We determine the extendable densest noncongruent hyperball packing arrangement to the truncated cube tiling $\{4,3,p=7\}$ with a density of approximately $0.84931$.

description: In this study, we show that necessary conditions for $Q_4$-factorization of $\lambda{K_n}$ and $\lambda{K_{x(m)}}$ (complete $x$ partite graph with parts of size $m$) are sufficient. We proved that there exists a $Q_4$-factorization of $\lambda{K_{x(m)}}$ if and only if $mx\equiv{0} \pmod{16}$ and $\lambda{m(x-1)}\equiv{0}\pmod{4}$. This result immediately gives that $\lambda K_n$ has a $Q_4$-factorization if and only if $n\equiv 0 \pmod{16}$ and $\lambda \equiv 0 \pmod{4}$.

description: Let $\mathscr{W}$ be a fixed $k$-dimensional subspace of an $n$-dimensi\-onal vector space $\mathscr{V}$ such that $n-k\geq1.$ In this paper, we introduce a graph structure, called the subspace based subspace inclusion graph $\mathscr{I}_{n}^{\mathscr{W}}(\mathscr{V}),$ where the vertex set $\mathscr{V}(\mathscr{I}_{n}^{\mathscr{W}}(\mathscr{V}))$ is the collection of all subspaces $\mathscr{U}$ of $\mathscr{V}$ such that $\mathscr{U}+\mathscr{W}\neq\mathscr{V}$ and $\mathscr{U}\nsubseteq\mathscr{W},$ i.e., $\mathscr{V}(\mathscr{I}_{n}^{\mathscr{W}}(\mathscr{V}))= \{\mathscr{U}\subseteq\mathscr{V}~|~\mathscr{U}+\mathscr{W}\neq\mathscr{V}, \mathscr{U}\nsubseteq\mathscr{W}\}$ and any two distinct vertices $\mathscr{U}_{1}$ and $\mathscr{U}_{1}$ of $\mathscr{I}_{n}^{\mathscr{W}}(\mathscr{V})$ are adjacent if and only if either $\mathscr{U}_{1}+\mathscr{W}\subset\mathscr{U}_{2}+\mathscr{W}$ or $\mathscr{U}_{2}+\mathscr{W}\subset\mathscr{U}_{1}+\mathscr{W}.$ The diameter, girth, clique number, and chromatic number of $\mathscr{I}_{n}^{\mathscr{W}}(\mathscr{V})$ are studied. It is shown that two subspace based subspace inclusion graphs $\mathscr{I}_{n}^{\mathscr{W}_{1}}(\mathscr{V})$ and $\mathscr{I}_{n}^{\mathscr{W}_{2}}(\mathscr{V})$ are isomorphic if and only if $\mathscr{W}_{1}$ and $\mathscr{W}_{2}$ are isomorphic. Further, some properties of $\mathscr{I}_{n}^{\mathscr{W}}(\mathscr{V})$ are obtained when the base field is finite.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Sora Inappropriate and Harmful Content Creation Easily Bypassed Through Simple Prompt Engineering
Creators: name: Napolano, Emilia
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: In this paper, we demonstrate how Sora, a text-to-video generative model, can be prompted to generate inappropriate and potentially harmful content despite the presence of safety mechanisms. Through a systematic application of simple prompt engineering techniques, we were able to bypass content restrictions by rephrasing, obfuscating, or embedding cues in seemingly innocuous ways. Our findings reveal critical shortcomings in Sora's content moderation layer and highlight broader implications for the deployment of generative models at scale. We discuss the methodology used, present representative examples of successful bypasses, and analyze the ease with which these manipulations can be reproduced. Finally, we reflect on the ethical responsibility of developers and propose potential mitigation strategies to reinforce safety without compromising creativity.
Model Predictive Control for the Four- Phase Traffic Signal Control System to Urban Mobility

description: The number of vehicles in the city increase rapidly and it directly affects the traffic
 control system of the city. Because of the cost and computation complexity, using
 many sensors or detectors for each lane at junctions and for large-scale urban traffic is
 not feasible. Unless the traffic network, which are junctions, are coordinated, the
 queue of vehicles affect each other. To overcome such problems the model-based
 coordinated control technique is more effective. The most promising control and
 modeling technique, which can meet the needs for control and coordinate a largescale urban traffic network with the traffic control parameters (e.g. queue length,
 speed limits, traffic signals, etc.), is Model Predictive Control (MPC).
 In this thesis, the model predictive control (MPC) to four-phase traffic signal control
 of urban traffic network proposed. This system control the traffic demands (i.e. queue
 length) according to the capacity of the link. Therefore, it avoid queue length effect of
 adjacent junctions.
 The mathematical modeling and application tested by software, which are MATLAB
 and PTV Vissim. The system compared with two-phase MPC (TPMPC) and fixed
 time traffic signal controlling techniques. Therefore from the compression result, a
 four-phase MPC based control system reduces the queue delay and queue length in
 the percent of (4% -26%) and (3% -32%) for the 600 seconds simulation time
 respectively.
Uncovering faith and reclaiming freedom in the American courts
Creators: name: Abdelal, Hayat
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Individuality and identity are often absent in the histories of enslaved people. This absence leaves a gap in the ability to understand the different demographics of enslaved communities. One notably absent community from research is enslaved Muslims. This paper examines the significance court cases hold in uncovering the historical accounts of enslaved Muslims. Scholarship has failed to center Islam as a critical principle and thread when analyzing the history of enslaved people and subsequently African American history. Through the analysis of court cases and focus on Muslim names various historical accounts can be uncovered that provide more insight into the lives of enslaved Muslims in the United States.

Numerical Investigation on the Performance of Geo-Synthetic Reinforced Bridge Abutment: In Case of Bridge No. 5 of Babile - Fik Road Project
Creators: name: Goytom Kebedew Welegerima
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2020
Subjects: Geo-synthetic reinforced bridge abutment (GRS), Geo-synthetic reinforced foundation (GRF), Direct sliding stability, Bearing capacity stability, Global stability, Overturning Stability and Lateral and Vertical deformation

description: Over the last two decades, the Civil Engineering community have started to implement
 geo-synthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) bridge abutment as an alternative to bridges abutment
 with rigid foundation systems. As a result, the performance of GRS bridge abutment
 structures in terms of their lateral deformations during construction and operation is a topic
 of current interest in the community.
 Material input data for Numerical Model of the GRS bridge abutment are adopted from a
 secondary resource.
 A two-dimensional numerical analysis is conducted using MIDAS GTS-NX finite element
 program. Mohr-Coulomb, Modified Mohr-Coulomb, and Linear Elastic constitute models
 are used to model the foundation soil, backfill soil and the other materials (i.e., geosynthetic, riprap and facing block), respectively. The loading conditions used in analysis
 are the dead loads of the approach road, the foundation and abutment.
 By the end of the abutment construction, the maximum vertical deformation was measured
 to be 2.626mm and the lateral deformation was also measured as 0.64mm at the face of the
 abutment which indicates that the GRS bridge abutment is safe and the results are within
 the lower limit set by the Federal Highway Administration recommendations.
