L’identité francophone, la francophonie et la canadianité multiculturelle contemporaine : vers un renouvellement des formes de solitude ? by Aurélien Yannic

“…Eventually Canada asserted its collective identity in the 1980s as a multicultural American society.In this context, one may wonder what the place and influence of French speaking Canadians can be today, confronted as they are with the increasingly organised claims of Québec and the overwhelming pressure of an American-ness modelled on the example given by the USA.We propose to confront in the following pages the various ways in which this question spells itself: Will Francophonie be displaced by the larger concept of Canadian-ness spawned by multicultural politics, or is it compatible with it? …”

The three-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superfishnet theory by Moritz Kade

“…We use techniques inspired by the integrability of bi-scalar fishnet theory and adapted to superspace to calculate the zero-mode-fixed thermodynamic free energy, the corresponding critical coupling, and the exact all-loop scaling dimensions of various operators. Furthermore, we confirm the results of the supersymmetric dynamical fishnet theory by applying our methods to four-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 superspace.…”

Detection of selfish nodes based on credit mechanism in opportunistic networks by Zuo-yong TANG, Yi-jia YUAN, Yong-qiang DONG, Guo-xin WU

“…The existence of selfish nodes seriously affects the routing performance of opportunistic networks(OppNet).To protect the OppNet against the nodes’ selfish behavior,a credit-based selfish nodes detection mechanism was proposed to make it possible to keep away from such nodes during the process of message forwarding.The mechanism leverages 2-ACK messages to observe the nodes’behavior.Then the credit value was calculated based on the observation information and accordingly acts as the metric to distinguish the selfish nodes.Simulation results show that,when coupled with various routing algorithms,the mechanism could detect selfish nodes out accurately,and improve network performance effectively in terms of delivery rate and traffic load.…”

Les voyageurs occidentaux à la découverte de l’altérité musulmane au bas Moyen Âge by Nissaf Sghaïer

“…At the Duke’s request, Bertrandon wrote a travel story from his journey – which led him to travel overland through the Near East, Asia Minor, the Balkans and Central Europe – entitled Le Voyage d’Outremer.This narrative distinguishes itself by the richness of its descriptions, based on Bertrandon’s observations and discussions during his trip.It is therefore a significant testimony on knowledge and perception of the Muslim otherness in the first half of the 15th century written by a noble Burgundian.This article analyses how Bertrandon de la Broquière managed to get closer to various Muslim societies he met, in order to convey a description that goes beyond stereotypes.…”
