La « jeunesse algérienne » en lutte. Du rôle politique conflictuel d'une catégorie sociale hétérogène by Thomas Serres

“…At the same time, one can see the similarities between the notion of the "youth" and that of the "people, especially regarding the persistent tendency of the ruling elite to infantilized the entire population, expressing a paternalism that is often understood as contempt. Finally, this article explains how the idea of an "Algerian youth" is tied to the notion that this group has suffered a loss (préjudice) due to the actions of the preceding generations. …”

HRDA-Net: image multiple manipulation detection and location algorithm in real scene by Ye ZHU, Yilin YU, Yingchun GUO

“…Aiming at the problems that the fake image just contains one tampered operation in mainstream manipulation datasets and the artifact is a common problem in manipulation location.The multiple manipulation dataset (MM Dataset) was constructed for real scene, which contained both splicing and removal in each images.Based on this, an end-to-end high-resolution representation dilation attention network (HRDA-Net) was proposed for multiple manipulation detection and localization, which fused the RGB and SRM features through the top-down dilation convolutional attention (TDDCA).Finally, the mixed dilated convolution (MDC) would respectively extract the features of splicing and removal, which could realize multiple manipulation location and confidence prediction.The cosine similarity loss was proposed as auxiliary loss to improve the efficiency of network.Experimental results on MM Dataset indicate that the performance and robustness of HRDA-Net is better than semantic segmentation methods.Furthermore, the scores of F1 and AUC are greater than state-of-the-art manipulation location methods in CASIA and NIST datasets.…”

Cerebellar-driven cortical dynamics can enable task acquisition, switching and consolidation by Joseph Pemberton, Paul Chadderton, Rui Ponte Costa

“…Next, we demonstrate that, when trained in working memory tasks, the cerebellum can also underlie the maintenance of cognitive-specific dynamics in the cortex, explaining a range of optogenetic and behavioural observations. Finally, using our model, we introduce a systems consolidation theory in which task information is gradually transferred from the cerebellum to the cortex. …”

Language and Culture Interconnectedness by Tomasz Zygmunt

“…In the course of the discussion, strengthened by quotations from the literature, the main stress is put on the language-culture interconnectedness viewed as the key element determining successful language studies, especially in the foreign languages domain. Finally, the attention is directed at the role of creativity and expressiveness as factors responsible for the level of the language user's competence, which, in turn, is viewed as creative communicative competence.…”
