Blockchain-based hierarchical and multi-level smart service transaction supervision framework for crowdsourcing logistics by Chuntang YU, Zhigeng HAN, Zhiyuan LI, Liangmin WANG

“…In view of the security threats such as forgery,deception,privacy disclosure and non-traceability caused by the lack of transaction supervision for crowdsourcing logistics in the modern service industry,a blockchain-based hierarchical and multi-level smart service transaction supervision framework for crowdsourcing logistics was proposed.Firstly,the framework adopted the two-stage supervision system:one was the National Authorized Certification Center for the supervision of logistics service platform,the other was the logistics service platform for the supervision of crowdsourcing logistics participation.Later,under the framework of the supervision system,the functions of crowd contract,legal and anonymous identity authentication,intelligent transaction matching,anomaly data analysis and detection,privacy protection and traceability were realized.Then,through the security analysis and transaction supervision component software,the security controllability and operational efficiency of the transaction supervision architecture were verified.Finally,the software component was run on the real crowdsourcing logistics enterprise platform for the actual measurement.The measurement results show that the proposed hierarchical and multi-level smart service transaction supervision framework is safe and controllable.The framework can protect the privacy of users and data,prevent forgery and deception,and realize the auditability and traceability of behaviors and data of users.…”

Western Medical Rehabilitation through Time: A Historical and Epistemological Review by Andrea A. Conti

“…The history of medical rehabilitation is a fascinating journey through time, providing insights into many different branches of medicine. When modern rehabilitation emerges, around the middle of the twentieth century, it derives from a combination of management approaches focusing on the orthopaedic and biomechanical understanding of patterns of movement, on the mastering of neuropsychological mechanisms, and on the awareness of the social-occupational dimension of everyday reality.…”

A survey on deep learning based joint source-channel coding by Tianjie MU, Xiaohui CHEN, Yiyun WANG, Lupeng MA, Dong LIU, Jing ZHOU, Wenyi ZHANG

“…Classical information theory shows that separate source-channel coding is asymptotically optimal over a point-to-point channel.As modern communication systems are becoming more sensitive to delays and bandwidth,it becomes difficult to adopt the assumption that such separate designs have unlimited computing power for encoding and decoding.Compared to joint source-channel coding,separate coding has proven to be sub-optimal when the bandwidth is limited.However,conventional joint source-channel coding schemes require complicated design.In contrast,data-driven deep learning brings new designing ideas into the paradigm.A summary of relevant research results was provided,which will help to clarify the way in which deep learning methods solve the joint source-channel coding problem and to provide an overviewof new research directions.Source compression schemes and end-to-end communication system models were firstly introduced,both based on deep learning,then two kinds of joint coding designs under different types of source,and potential problems of joint source-channel coding based on deep learning and possible future research directions were introduced.…”

How the Internet is Transforming the Bombay Poetry Scene by Manon Boukhroufa-Trijaud

“…As the postcolonial city of Bombay turned into Mumbai – i.e. a modern-day megacity –, notable literary changes followed, from the dissolution of its traditional poetic scene – as poets dispersed to distant suburbs, neighbouring cities, or even abroad – to the disappearance of an already fragile ecosystem of publishing collectives. …”

Les mobilisations contre le rapport sur les libertés individuelles et l’égalité (COLIBE) : Vers une spécialisation du parti Ennahdha dans l’action partisane ? by Alia Gana, Ester Sigillò

“…Presented by the party as a major reform, this process of specialisation would lead to the transformation of Ennahdha into a modern civil party. Adopting a relational and inter-actionist perspective, the article examines, in light of the mobilizations against the COLIBE report, how the reorganization of relations between the party and the networks of associations with a religious referent takes place within the framework of the specialization process and how the links and borders between politics and religion are renegotiated. …”

Making Space for Painting by Paul Duro

“…This is perfectly legitimate, but it tends to distract the viewer from those parts of the work that are often considered less important, such as the background, as well as failing to account for the abstraction prevalent in the many modern artworks that avoid a title altogether. But space is never simply there; it is constructed like any other part of painting (line, color, composition etc.), and serves to situate the beholder within the domain of representation, positioning us in relation not only to the visual field (which is essentially the work of the frame), but also identifies these spaces according to the kinds of subject represented. …”

Bœufs gaulois et bœufs français : morphologies animales et dynamiques économiques au cours de La Tène et des périodes historiques by Colin Duval, Benoît Clavel

“…Moreover, based on an important unpublished corpus of osteometric data, it provides new insights into changes in cattle morphology and their historical implications in France, from Neolithic to modern times. From the first decrease in livestock size as a consequence of domestication, to growth between the Iron Age and the Roman period, and small individuals during the Middle Ages to the heavy Charolais breeds currently grazing in our pastures, this study aims to link cattle morphology and economic variations in order to improve our vision of French pastoral history, based on archaeozoological remains. …”

Trois monnaies en contexte « aqueduc » à Lyon à l’épreuve de la numismatique et de l’archéologie by Christian Cécillon, Catherine Coquidé

“…But they remain invaluable and allow us to guess the scale of archaeological loss during the modern and contemporary periods.It appears that a coin removed from masonry in the Brévenne aqueduct probably corresponds to a repair and therefore confirms the aqueduct’s continuing operation throughout the second century CE, while another one, which receives very little mention, can hardly be linked with the Gier aqueduct with which it is associated. …”
