Adaptive Fuzzy Sliding Mode Tracking Control of Uncertain Underactuated Nonlinear Systems: A Comparative Study by Faten Baklouti, Sinda Aloui, Abdessattar Chaari

“…The trajectory tracking of underactuated nonlinear system with two degrees of freedom is tackled by an adaptive fuzzy hierarchical sliding mode controller. The proposed control law solves the problem of coupling using a hierarchical structure of the sliding surfaces and chattering by adopting different reaching laws. …”

Concours scolaires Ar Falz entre 1955 et 1965, un outil pédagogique pour pallier les insuffisances de la loi Deixonne ? by Maryvonne Berthou

“…Were the school competitions "Ar Falz" between 1955 and 1965 an educational means of compensating for the inadequacy of Deixonne 's law.Deixonne's law, passed in 1951, stipulates that any teacher  who makes the request  will be allowed to devote an hour of activities each week to the teaching of Breton.The leaders of the association "Ar Falz", including Armand Keravel, took strong action to be allowed to teach Breton in school while respecting this legislative framework and so they organised school competitions from the year 1952.Firstly we will  briefly describe those school competitions.Secondly we will present and analyse some of those writings.We have been able to meet some former pupils; these interviews permit us to establish the conditions in which those competitions took place and the relationship those children have maintained in relation to the Breton language. …”

Policy change or tactical retreat? by Wishes Tendayi Mututwa, Brenda Mututwa, Mlondolozi Ndlovu

“… This study explores Zimbabwe’s media legislation, the Freedom of Information Act (FIA), which was brought into effect in 2020 to replace previous repressive legislation, the 2002 Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA). While the new law has been presented under the reform agenda of the post-Mugabe administration, this paper explores whether the FIA offers genuine media freedoms or if it replicates the old law. …”

ONE DRAFT OF A POSSIBLE CONSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT FOR KOSOVO AND METOHIJA by Bojan Bojanic, Zaklina Spalevic

“…In the first case, which implies the strongest relationship between Serbia and Kosovo and Metohija, this issue could be resolved by passing a law on substantial autonomy (with changes to certain constitutional provisions) which would formally assign all the competencies now available in the province, while the other two models do not imply the adoption of such a law, so it could be done exclusively by changing the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia. …”
