L’humanitaire islamique et les ONG musulmanes en France : quels registres de mobilisation ? by Lucas Faure

“…Two ideal-type categories help to classify these mobilisations depending on whether they use a register of “assertion” or “contestation”. At first sight, the promotion of a “civil Islam” purged of its communitarian aspect, coupled with a mitigation of the religious dimension of the association, seems to offer more guarantees to be legitimized by and to establish partnerships with state authorities. …”

“Making Sense” of Art through Design: Towards a Multisensory Theory of Reception Aesthetics by Inbal Strauss

“…According to the dominant Western paradigm of aesthetic reception, what distinguishes works of art from everyday objects is that they offer an aesthetic experience exclusively through the privileged sense of sight. Correspondingly, theories of reception aesthetics in the fine arts, which seek to understand the ways in which works of art engage viewers in the process of meaning-making, traditionally focus on visual perception. …”

Analysis of cases of moose (Alces alces) occurrence in the transformed environment of Kyiv by E. I. Ivanenko

“…Using the analysis method of moose occurrence in Kyiv, three natural nurseries of moose occurrence in the transformed environment of the city were identified: Svyatoshynskyi (Svyatoshynske forestry), Holosiivskyi (Holosiivskyi forest and Lisnyky sight) and Darnytskyi (Darnytske forestry). Moose can penetrate into the urban environment of Kyiv for more than 2 km, and in some cases - more than 6 km, overcoming significant natural and anthropogenic obstacles, in particular the Dnipro River with intensive river transport traffic. …”

Wireless key generation system for internet of vehicles based on deep learning by Han WANG, Liquan CHEN, Zhongmin WANG, Tianyu LU

“…In recent years, the widespread application of internet of vehicles technology has garnered attention due to its complex nature and point-to-point communication characteristics.Critical and sensitive vehicle information is transmitted between different devices in internet of vehicles, necessitating the establishment of secure and reliable lightweight keys for encryption and decryption purposes in order to ensure communication security.Traditional key generation schemes have limitations in terms of flexibility and expandability within the vehicle network.A popular alternative is the physical layer key generation technology based on wireless channels, which offers lightweight characteristics and a theoretical basis of security in information theory.However, in the context of internet of vehicles, the movement speed of devices impacts the autocorrelation of generated keys, requiring improvements to traditional channel modeling methods.Additionally, the randomness and consistency of generated wireless keys are of higher importance in applications in internet of vehicles.This research focused on a key generation system based on the wireless physical layer, conducting channel modeling based on line-of-sight and multipath fading effects to reflect the impact of vehicle speed on autocorrelation.To enhance the randomness of key generation, a differential quantization method based on cumulative distribution function was proposed.Furthermore, an information reconciliation scheme based on neural network auto-encoder was introduced to achieve a dynamic balance between reliability and confidentiality.Compared to the implementation of Slepian-Wolf low-density parity-check codes, the proposed method reduces the bit disagreement rate by approximately 30%.…”

Rao-Blackwellized Gaussian Sum Particle Filtering for Multipath Assisted Positioning by Markus Ulmschneider, Christian Gentner, Thomas Jost, Armin Dammann

“…In multipath assisted positioning, multipath components arriving at a receiver are regarded as being transmitted by a virtual transmitter in a line-of-sight condition. As the locations and clock offsets of the virtual and physical transmitters are in general unknown, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) schemes can be applied to simultaneously localize a user and estimate the states of physical and virtual transmitters as landmarks. …”
