Les syndicats, les commissaires et le politique : (re)valorisations et conflits autour de la profession policière en Tunisie (2011-2022) by Audrey Pluta

“…In this respect, the trade unions are part of the revolutionary themes and the political construction of a discourse of "dignity" in a socio-professional sense. Finally, these upheavals of institutional norms as a result of union action can be seen in the questioning of a distribution of posts based on a historical division between "civilian" bodies (corresponding in particular to commissioners, inspectors, etc.) and "uniformed" bodies (officers, commanders, brigadiers, etc.). …”

Empire Seen from Within. Cinema Objects, Spaces and Edifices in the Limelight in Colonial India and Ceylon (1899-1950) by Vilasnee Tampoe-Hautin

“…I will linger on those cross-cultural encounters of the most serendipitous kind between objects, ideas and individuals converging to bring reels on wheels to the edge of Empire: a WW1 British Army tent, a projector, a rifle and a gramophone hoisted onto a bullock cart, travelling through the jungles of colonial Ceylon, reminiscent of Leonard Woolf’s uncelebrated novels… Finally, although beyond the scope of this volume, the question has at least to be raised of the restoration of these devices, capable of producing images whose rich nuances remain to date unequalled by digital technology. …”

Association between serum total bilirubin levels and 28-day all-cause mortality after intracerebral hemorrhage by Dachang Qiu, Guangwei Li, Yongfei Dong, Yongfei Dong

“…Univariate Cox regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, and multivariate Cox regression were used to identify risk factors associated with 28-day all-cause mortality. Finally, subgroup analysis was performed to verify the stability of the association between serum TBIL levels and 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with ICH.ResultsA negative relationship was revealed between TBIL levels and survival (p < 0.001, correlation = −0.174). …”

Human development II: We Need an Integrated Theory for Matter, Life and Consciousness to Understand Life and Healing by Sören Ventegodt, Tyge Dahl Hermansen, Maj Lyck Nielsen, Birgitte Clausen, Joav Merrick

“…We suggest that life utilizes an unseen fine structure of the physical energy of the universe at a subparticular or quantum level to give information-directed self-organization; we give a first sketch of a possible fractal structure of the energy able to both contain and communicate biological information and carry individual and collective consciousness. Finally, thorough our analysis, we put up a model for adult human metamorphosis.…”

Application of Clustering and Stepwise Discriminant Analysis Based on Hydrochemical Characteristics in Determining the Source of Mine Water Inrush by Weitao Liu, Jie Yu, Jianjun Shen, Qiushuang Zheng, Mengke Han, Yingying Hu, Xiangxi Meng

“…The results showed that the combination of HCA and hydrochemical analysis was more effective in screening water samples, and the 3 clustering groups could be qualified samples to represent 3 major aquifers (Taiyuan Formation limestone aquifer, Shanxi Formation sandstone aquifer and Ordovician limestone aquifer). Finally, taking M1, M2 and M3 as grouping variables, the discriminant functions f1, f2 and f3 of the 3 aquifers were obtained, the results of stepwise discrimination analysis (SDA) showed that the discrimination model established by using 25 groups of standard water samples could discriminate the known water samples with the correct rate of 96%, 10 groups of unknown water samples collected at the fault are identified as Taiyuan Formation limestone water samples, which was consistent with the classification results of HCA, proving that the water inrush of fault DF53 was from Taiyuan Formation limestone aquifer, while the fault had little influence on Ordovician limestone aquifer.…”
