L’expression des rapports sociaux en formation des enseignant·e·s du premier degré by Odile Maufrais

“…In this article, we will describe the work proposed to question the trainees’ representations of social relations in the school and in their practices, then we will analyze the training times in terms of power relations. The results show that training promoting an intersectional approach to social relations, while opening access to new knowledge and professional skills, generates the expression of power relations between the trainees present even when it was the subject of the discussions.…”

Soft value flipping decoding algorithm for LDPC codes based on adjoint vectors sum by LIU Jian-quan1, XU You-yun1, CAI Yue-ming1

“…By analyzing the soft value distribution while belief propagation defeated, a soft value flipping decoding algo-rithm based on adjoint vectors sum was presented.With translating the error times of check equation which obtained by adjoint vectors sum into error bits distribution parameter and flipping some bit nodes soft value only once at certain itera-tion by a selection regulation, the frame error rate of the proposed algorithm for LDPC codes which have much more correlative rows can be reduced to a larger extent without complexity increase nearly（only O（N））.…”

Coordinating multiactivity transitions in dance rehearsals: spatial configurations and instructional practices by Maximilian Krug

“…The analysis reveals how participants create activity transitions, mobilize resources, and maintain continuity across activities, emphasizing the crucial role of spatial positioning and timing in managing transitions. By maintaining one activity while introducing others, participants effectively coordinate multiple activities without disrupting the rehearsal’s flow. …”

Research of the Path Optimization for the NC Planing Process of the Spur Face-gear by Qian Lulu, Yang Xiaoyu, Tang Jinyuan

“…With the comparison result between the optimized machining path and the previous one,it is indicated that the proposed optimized method can shorten the feeding times by 50%. Finally,the optimized machining path is simulated in NC codes with the Vericut software,which shows that the optimized machining path method for the NC planing of the spur face-gear is feasible,efficient and can meet the precision requirement.…”

Analysis and improvement of route switch in IEEE 802.11s by Bo YOU, Yue-peng YAN

“…Analyzed the route switch of hybrid wireless mesh protocol(HWMP)in IEEE 802.11s and made an improve-ment to reduce the packet lost rate when routes switching was analyzed.Based on the received signal strength indica-tor(RSSI)a scheme with judgment threshold in mesh peer link management protocol was proposed,which controlled the status of peer link to change the timing of route switch.In this way,the packet lost was avoided.The experimental results show that the improvement reduces the packet lost rate by 2%~5% compared with traditional IEEE 802.11s in uncon-trolled wireless environment when nodes moving in low speed.…”

Tax Policy in the COVID-19 Crisis by Sebastian Eichfelder, Jonathan Hoke

“…To ensure this attractiveness in the long term, it seems to be more important to focus on investments in digitisation, the digital infrastructure, and electromobility. Even in times of economic problems, e.g., the COVID19 pandemic, lowering the nominal tax burdens on companies is not necessarily the answer. …”
