The politicisation of the climate emergency: the case of the 2019 United Kingdom general election by Alma-Pierre BONNET

“…Several key elements can be used to explain why the environment topped the voters’ main concerns, slightly behind Brexit and health, but on a par with crime and the economy: recent natural catastrophes such as the summer heatwaves or the floods in the North of the country and the growing climate awareness among younger citizens. Chris Stark, chief executive of the Committee on Climate Change, even claimed that “this election really is the climate election” (Shukman).When one takes the general political mood into consideration, it seems quite legitimate to question this assertion and to wonder how much of an impact the environmental emergency really had during the campaign. …”

Big data classification method of non relational distributed submission information under differentiated requirements by Lu HAN, Weiyu CHEN, Fei ZHANG, Jianfeng HE, Huaizhen SU

“…The classification method of non-relational distributed submitted information big data under the differentiated demand was studied, aiming at the problem of multi-source heterogeneous, widely distributed submitted information with more differentiated application requirements and inability to distinguish the available information.Firstly, the usability, openness and expansibility of the non-relational distributed submission information database were analyzed.The unstructured database storage TRIP was used to store non-relational distributed submission information by combining the basic requirements of field types.Then, the hashing process within the Hamming hash family was analyzed.Under the constraint of linearity level requirements, cellular automata with multiple attractors were used to optimize the system.The optimal parameters of the multiple attractor cellular automata classifier were improved through genetic algorithm, thus improving the big data classification method.Experimental results show that this method can effectively identify and classify structured data and unstructured data in non relational distributed submission information, and has high classification accuracy.…”

Le Bestiaire d’amour de Gustave Flaubert (1) by Loïc Windels

“…Thus, the present article (and the one that will follow) strive less to reopen an already well-fed debate than to approach it in a slightly different manner: namely, by choosing from amongst the episodes where animals play a leading role, those which seem to pair up to form – by leaps and gambols – a narrative behind the story and those which, at the same time, appear desirous of being compared to other texts (the rest of Flaubert’s work, Medieval bestiaries, ancient and modern natural history, mythological writings) and a few images.…”

God’s Alterity and the Particularity of Christ by Björn Vikström, Elli Barsnes
