Du coton traditionnel au coton colonial, le coup de force du progrès (Nord-Cameroun) by Christian Seignobos

“…Witnessing the excesses perpetuated in Tchad along the forced introduction of cotton in the 1930’s, the colonial administration in Cameroun opposed its arrival on its territory. In this regard, it echoed the many suspicions raised by local chiefs and their communities.Nonetheless, against everyone’s judgement, the newly appointed High Commissioner of the French Republic in Cameroun started promoting colonial cotton in 1950, as the only commercial item able to raise North Cameroun out of economic underdevelopment. …”

PHS: A Pulse Sequence Method Based on Hyperbolic Frequency Modulation for Speed Measurement by Tao Ping, Caixia Song, Zhiguo Qi, Pengmin Xu

“…However, due to the filtering effect of the marine environment, the HFM signal of a single frequency band may cause excessive transmission loss, and the echo energy may be too weak to detect the target. …”

Les mystérieuses antiquités de Prosper Biardot (1805–1873) by Angélique Allaire

“…He made a not terribly flattering reputation for himself in French archaeological circles because of his inconsistent purchases in the domain of gold- and silverwork and his ideas, which found an echo abroad, particularly in Germany, and especially Switzerland in the thinking of philologist Johann Jakob Bachofen. …”

Transmitter and receiver design for integrated full‐duplex multiple‐input‐multiple‐output communication and multiple‐input‐multiple‐output radar system by Shengnan Shi, Zishu He, Ziyang Cheng

“…The degrees of freedom of system design involve the precoding and combining schemes for UL and DL communications, as well as the receiving filter for radar echo. An optimization problem is developed to maximise a compound communication sum‐rate metric subject to the SINR constraint imposed on target detection performance. …”

“Where Does My Hope Come From?”: P. D. James’s The Children of Men (1992) as a Christian Dystopia in the Context of the Late 20th Century Demographic Crisis by Suzanne Bray

“…James’s The Children of Men (1992) has been compared with other demodystopias like The Handmaid’s Tale (1986) and Zoe Fairburns’ Benefits (1979) and described as a feminist work, it is far more of a Christian fable and contains echoes of Christian writers from Dostoevsky to T.S. …”

Réflexions sur l’appropriation du théâtre historique élisabéthain par la scène britannique contemporaine : usages de Macbeth dans Thirteenth Night de Howard Brenton (1981) et Dunsi... by Line Cottegnies

“…Both plays are based on a very different aesthetics, yet they share a similar narrative logic, as well as the influence of the Jacobean aesthetics of cruelty. The echoes of Macbeth suggest an ambivalent perspective on history, between the hope that it might be possible to learn from the past to despair at the endless return of the same, as conflicts seem to only lead to a short-lived resolution. …”

Société du risque, environnement et potentialisation des menaces : un défi pour les sciences sociales by Lionel Charles, Bernard Kalaora

“…Confronted with what Ulrich Beck has named risk society, France is hardly finding answers to the complexifications born from the extension of environmental stakes, breaking with its anthropocentric heritage, moving to a dynamic and relational vision echoing the plasticity of life.Owing to the weight of its rationalist discursive tradition and its implications in terms of abstraction and distance from reality, the deep changes born from acceleration, fluidification and globalization processes are lived as vulnerability. …”

La bienveillance en éducation : un défi pédagogique by Renaud Hétier

“…Today, there is a lot of interest in benevolence, in the political and ethical fields (with the ethics of care in particular) and in the educational field, with official texts that make it an aim of the school, various research studies and publications for the general public having a lot of echo. This emergence is not accidental: it is at the crossroads of various developments: children's rights, liberation of victims' speech, certain specificities of school suffering taken into account, in particular. …”

DBnet: A Lightweight Dual-Backbone Target Detection Model Based on Side-Scan Sonar Images by Quanhong Ma, Shaohua Jin, Gang Bian, Yang Cui, Guoqing Liu

“…Moreover, since the original waterfall map of side-scan sonar only consists of echo intensity information, which is usually of a large size, it is difficult to fuse it with other multi-source information, which limits the detection accuracy of models. …”

Differential impact from individual versus collective misinformation tagging on the diversity of Twitter (X) information engagement and mobility by Junsol Kim, Zhao Wang, Haohan Shi, Hsin-Keng Ling, James Evans

“…Individuals have increasingly challenged others’ online claims with fact-checks in pursuit of a healthier information ecosystem and to break down echo chambers of self-reinforcing opinion. Using Twitter (now X) data, here we show the consequences of individual misinformation tagging: tagged posters had explored novel political information and expanded topical interests immediately prior, but being tagged caused posters to retreat into information bubbles. …”

Octobre, d’œuvre d’art à objet phare by Justine Desrosiers
