      <title>Geospatial challenges for urban projects environmental impact assessment</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Reducing the environmental impact of the building stock (construction, use, rehabilitation, end of life) is essential in order to achieve a sustainable rate of consumption of the planet's resources. Life cycle analysis (LCA) enables stakeholders to assess several categories of impact of an urban project (damage to human health, damage to biodiversity, etc.) in order to make the most sober choices. This assessment requires a large amount of data that is as representative as possible of the concerned territories. In view of the difficulties encountered in taking into account the geographical dimension, an exploratory interdisciplinary project has been launched to identify spatial challenges to overcome when carrying out a LCA of an urban project. This article presents the initial results of the project, beginning with a description of the issues involved in the spatialization of LCA, followed by a description of some of the challenges encountered more specifically in the context of LCA of urban projects. The aim is to help define a research programme to improve the way in which the geographical dimension is taken into account in the LCA of urban projects, and to inform the geospatial scientific community of the problems encountered by environmental assessment researchers working to provide professional communities with robust and reliable LCA methods and tools.]]></description>

      <title>Integrating geodata in the life cycle assessment of urban projects: taking solar masks into account in dynamic thermal simulations of buildings</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Life cycle assessment (LCA) can be used to evaluate the environmental impacts of urban projects, but requires a huge amount of data. Geodata currently available can be used as soon as the design phase. Here, we explore the potential contribution of existing geodata to improve the accuracy of building energy modeling (BEM) carried out during the LCA of urban projects. Hence, we have built a model to assess the influence of solar masks on building energy needs and indoor thermal comfort. We use this model to assess the benefits of considering these masks. We then test the use of existing IGN geodata to take into account solar masks formed either by adjacent buildings (BD TOPO), or by buildings and vegetation (LIDAR HD). After the model is validated, we use it on two existing buildings to compare the results of simulations with and without masks. These initial tests confirm the interest of using existing geodatabases. They also encourage us to develop guidelines for BEM and LCA practitioners, and to explore the use of geodata to specify other parameters useful for BEM.]]></description>

      <title>Method for classifying and mapping Blue Carbon ecosystems for carbon assessment : the case study of the La Rochelle urban area</title>
      <description><![CDATA[In the context of global climate change, France has committed to achieving carbon neutrality. The territory of La Rochelle, through the La Rochelle Territoire Zéro Carbone project, aims to reach this goal by enhancing its "blue carbon" ecosystems. This study proposes a typology of La Rochelle's blue carbon ecosystems along a land-sea continuum, establishing an unprecedented classification of seven types of environments that could act as carbon sinks : dyked freshwater, brackish, and salt marshes, as well as salt meadows, mudflats, seagrass beds, and the ocean. A second level of classification was introduced for backshore marshes, attributing the concept of blue carbon only to aquatic surfaces. This distinction between water surfaces and emerged surfaces raises questions about the separation between blue carbon and green carbon. Additionally, a geographic database was created, accompanied by maps to locate these environments and assess their surface area, assisting managers and local authorities in their mission to preserve and evaluate the carbon capture and sequestration potential. The study's limitations include the subjectivity of the maritime perimeter assigned to the territory and the categorization of ecosystems between blue carbon and green carbon. This innovative typology, supported by a cartographic framework, provides a better understanding of carbon sinks in the territory and helps to guide public policies toward achieving carbon neutrality.]]></description>

      <title>Tetiaroa diachronic geomorphology 1955 -2023 Monitoring the shoreline and vegetation cover of tropical atoll in the climate change context</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The Tetiaroa atoll is virtually free of anthropogenic pressure, making it a textbook case for observing the impact of climate change on the pristine coral atolls of French Polynesia. A geospatial databasedating back to 1955 was used to map and analyze erosion and accretion phenomena on the atoll's motu (Tahitian name for islets). Its diachronic analysis documents two types of motu: those with a coralline base, which experience minimal movement over time, and the sandy motu which, on the contrary, exhibit significant dynamics linked to strong swells and storms. While we cannot yet link the observed dynamics to climate change and rising sea levels, these results will help us better understand the future impacts of extreme climatic events on Polynesian atolls.]]></description>

      <title>Recycling data for Marine Spatial Planning: A review of maritime plans in Europe</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The ecosystem-based approach to marine spatial planning (MSP) is attracting increasing attention due to the requirements of Directive 2014/89/EU. To date, research on the ecosystem-based approach has focused mainly on the methods used to set up studies to assess the impact of human marine activities on ecosystems. This article presents a review of European marine plans, focusing in particular on the data and maps used to translate MSP. This study should contribute to our understanding of the notion of entanglement in planning. We draw on critical data studies, and in particular on the theory of intra-action and the concept of information in-formation, to understand the biases of data and maps. We used a method based on a content analysis to study maritime plans in Europe with regard to four main indicators enabling us to evaluate data and map uses in MSPs in relation to the ecosystem-based approach. Overall, our results suggest that the ecosystem approach is poorly transcribed on maps due to a lack of suitable data sets, geotechnological constraints, or political decisions. In particular, we observe a recycling of data for planning purposes. Our research has highlighted the importance of studying the entire data lifecycle, from production to display, in order to have a holistic vision of MSP.]]></description>

      <title>CentipedeRTK, un réseau pour la géolocalisation haute précision au service de l'environnement</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Positioning RTK, or Real-Time Kinematics, is a long-established technology that improves the positioning provided by a GNSS mobile receiver, based on a network of fixed reference receiver antenna, precisely positioned over the territory. Although highly effective, this solution is still very costly and therefore not available to all users. The emergence of low-cost electronic products has given rise to the CentipedeRTK network. The network is based on an open and shared methodology for building RTK antennas that are networked for free and collaborative use, whatever their purpose. Since its launch in 2019, the network has gone from strength to strength, and its uses are multiplying in a variety of fields, from forestry research to environmental monitoring.]]></description>

      <title>Le projet architectural à travers une pensée croisée entre l'art et la science</title>
      <description><![CDATA[L’enseignement de l’architecture se présente comme un carrefour d’échange interdisciplinaire, qui ne se base pas seulement sur le volet pratique, mais qui comporte une approche théorique faisant appel aux notions et références développées dans les cours théoriques. Il se présente ainsi comme un laboratoire de recherche et d’expérimentation sur l’architecture dans son écriture extérieure et intérieure en tant que discipline intégrant la forme et l’espace, développant des approches pédagogiques interactives et complémentaires. Le choix d’un dispositif pédagogique comme prétexte pour aborder l’interdisciplinarité dans le projet architectural devrait en conséquence être bien réfléchi avec un cheminement méthodologique ciblé qui permettrait d’explorer la synergie entre architecture et ingénierie, architecture et design de l’espace, architecture et sculpture, architecture et urbanisme.

      <title>Espaces odorants et espaces olfactifs</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Attester le partage d'une expérience olfactive par plusieurs individus est une gageure, du fait d'obstacles théoriques et méthodologiques souvent présentés comme irréductibles. Après une brève discussion de la réalité de cette irréductibilité, nous essayons de surmonter certains de ces obstacles en distinguant espaces odorants et espaces olfactifs. Si un espace odorant peut-être objectivé et donc partagé, il n'en va pas de même d'un espace olfactif qui relève d'une expérience subjective. Cependant, l'effet invasif des molécules odorantes, plus spécifiquement celles qui provoquent des « mauvaises odeurs », est de nature à atténuer cette subjectivité et, du même coup, à faciliter le partage d'un espace olfactif.

      <title>To think of interdisciplinarity as intercurrence: Or, working as an interdisciplinary team to develop an ML tool to tackle online gender-based violence and hate speech</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The paper reflects on the working of an interdisciplinary team consisting of researchers and activists from the field of computer science and social sciences involved in developing a user-facing, browser plug-in to detect and moderate instances of online gender-based violence, hate speech and harassment in Hindi, Indian English, and Tamil. There have been multiple calls within the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to include qualitative methods in one’s research design. These calls, while attuned to the importance of qualitative methods for HCI, ignore the intercurrent nature of different research methods, disciplines and practices. The paper borrows the concept of intercurrence from Orren & Skowronek (1996) and reorients it to explicate the practice of interdisciplinary research. It argues that intercurrence i.e. (in between, an occurrence within an occurrence) is a useful image to perceive interdisciplinarity wherein we argue that at any given point, an interdisciplinary team navigates multiple, yet simultaneously occurring temporal dimensions of differently disciplined bodies. An awareness of these multiple temporalities adds another dimension to thinking about conflicts and possibilities emerging from interdisciplinary practices and reorients interdisciplinary research towards unexpected outcomes.]]></description>

      <title>Le Groupe Interdisciplinaire sur l’Électricité Atmosphérique Naturelle (GIEAN): Report on a radical interdisciplinary experiment</title>
      <description><![CDATA[This article analyses interdisciplinarity as it was practiced or created conflicts within the realm of a collective project, the GIEAN (Groupe Interdisciplinaire sur l’Électricité Atmosphérique Naturelle), which brought together a panel of researchers from different disciplines to identify obstacles on the one hand, and heuristic and epistemological contributions on the other hand. The meetings and exchanges provided most of the material analyzed by the two authors, who were also participant-observers of the project. This article provides a threefold analysis: that of the genesis of the project, of the first meetings and the institutional formalization; that of the objects of study, their construction by the different disciplines, which revealed different research timeframes, but also the implicit — or sometimes explicit — unconsidered hierarchies of the disciplines, revealing different but not entirely opposed regimes of truth and scientific proof. The third analysis finally questions the multiple effects of interdisciplinarity on the project, the disciplines, and the researchers, but also the research structure that supported and accompanied the project — in this case the “Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (MSH)” — to lead to, in the form of an epilogue, the manner in which this article was received by the co-sponsor of the project. From start to finish, this paper presents a writing style centered on interdisciplinary encounters and practices, because if the results of funded research projects are those most often published, the approaches, obstacles, implicit prejudices, and epistemological contributions — in short, everything that forms the record and infra-narrative of a project — are rarely questioned and capitalized on. But is not the discipline of science also about knowing how to communicate by questioning what is communicated?]]></description>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[This article analyses interdisciplinarity as it was practiced or created conflicts within the realm of a collective project, the GIEAN (Groupe Interdisciplinaire sur l’Électricité Atmosphérique Naturelle), which brought together a panel of researchers from different disciplines to identify obstacles on the one hand, and heuristic and epistemological contributions on the other hand. The meetings and exchanges provided most of the material analyzed by the two authors, who were also participant-observers of the project.

      <title>Searching for carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands across disciplines, using Natural Language Processing</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The explosion of scientific publications overloads researchers with information. This is even more dramatic for interdisciplinary studies, where several fields need to be explored. A tool to help researchers overcome this is Natural Language Processing (NLP): a machine-learning (ML) technique that allows scientists to automatically synthesize information from many articles. As a practical example, we have used NLP to conduct an interdisciplinary search for compounds that could be carriers for Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIBs), a long-standing open question in astrophysics. We have trained a NLP model on a corpus of 1.5 million cross-domain articles in open access, and fine-tuned this model with a corpus of astrophysical publications about DIBs. Our analysis points us toward several molecules, studied primarily in biology, having transitions at the wavelengths of several DIBs and composed of abundant interstellar atoms. Several of these molecules contain chromophores, small molecular groups responsible for the molecule's colour, could be promising candidate carriers. Identifying viable carriers demonstrates the value of using NLP to tackle open scientific questions, in an interdisciplinary manner.]]></description>

      <title>L’autopraxéographie, une méthode pour construire des savoirs à partir de son expérience dans une perspective complexe et interdisciplinaire</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The objective of this paper is to explain autopraxeography and to show how this method uses interdisciplinarity to understand lived situations in a complex way. This method is based on the human experience of at least one of the co-researchers. It is situated in a pragmatic co-constructivist epistemological paradigm. It uses a wide range of theories, regardless of their original disciplines, to step back from the lived experience. It is a dialogue between the lived experience and each point of view that can be found through multidisciplinary scientific writings, co-researchers, reviewers, etc. The fact of digging into one's own experiences without being locked into a discipline can allow one to answer disciplinary questions in a way that accepts the complexity of the lived reality. Furthermore, this method, when used by students in a continuing education, process can facilitate their opportunity to become reflective practitioners aware of the need to break down disciplinary barriers.]]></description>

      <title>Mixing Biology and Computer Science Concepts to Design Resilient Data Lakes</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Data lakes appeared a few years ago, introduced in particular to meet the challenges of storing and exploiting IoT data. They were first considered as a new technical and commercial tool, sold by the main database software editors. More recently, they have become the subject of research, in particular to define what a data lake should be, what it should provide in terms of services, and how it should be built. In this work, we have tried to return to the origins of data lakes, starting from the name “lake”. We present here how we worked, between biologists and computer scientists, to understand the links between natural and data lakes. In this article, we first explore the links between the disciplines of biology and computer science before declining these links for the particular theme of lakes. This could appear as a work of transferring knowledge from biology to computer science, and a “simple” application of the concepts. However, we had to interact and understand each other’s concepts and issues to align a possible comparison between the disciplines, for example to determine at what scale to establish the biological comparison, from DNA to the more macro system of the animal and plant ecosystem present in a natural lake. For this reason, we are inspired by a hybrid method based on ecological and logistical network topology to propose the resilient structure for the data lake. Thus, we use the Ecological Network Analysis (ENA) as a bio-inspired method and Graph theory as a logistical-inspired framework to study the interdisciplinary resilience strategies for the data lake network.]]></description>

      <title>L’interdisciplinarité dans tous ses états : une approche complexe, floue et interalogique</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Le rapprochement voire la collaboration entre les disciplines scientifiques s'impose comme le moyen privilégié pour comprendre la complexité des objets questionnés dans les projets de recherche. Dans cet article, nous recensons les différentes définitions données aux formes d’interaction entre disciplines depuis 1972 et la publication pionnière de Interdisciplinarity: problems of teaching and research in universities. Il apparait que la rigidité normative des définitions, ainsi que leur multiplication, rendent difficilement compte des nuances et des dynamiques de la collaboration au sein des projets scientifiques qui dépassent les frontières disciplinaires. Néanmoins, c’est un dialogue entre théorie et pratique enrichissant que nous chercherons à initier, aussi bien pour l’étude que pour la méthodologie de l’interdisciplinarité, en proposant d’aborder la gradualité de tels contextes par un croisement entre psychologie expérimentale, anthropologie et sciences de l’informatique. Nous envisagerons ainsi des pistes de modélisation en exploitant notamment les fondements de la théorie des sous-ensembles flous apparue dans les années 60 pour la formalisation mathématique des objets aux contours flous. Cela nous conduira à envisager la question de l'interdisciplinarité et de toutes les formes de collaborations à partir d'une logique floue à inscrire dans le champ plus large de ce l'on pourrait nommer la science de l'inter-: l'interalogie.]]></description>

      <title>Interdisciplinary dialogue clarifies disciplinary teaching</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Since 2019, at the Institut de Recherche sur l'Enseignement des Sciences in Aix-Marseille Université, we have been running a workshop aimed at exploring solutions to the difficulties regularly encountered in interdisciplinary teaching. At regular intervals, this workshop brings together six teachers from different disciplines - from university and high school - who are simply given the time to present and explain to each other the specificities of the discipline they teach, using a basic categorial grid to guide analysis and enable comparison. However, our initial findings indicate that the primary beneficiary of these interdisciplinary encounters is disciplinary teaching itself. In fact, this introspective and collective work has brought to light fundamental implicits, specific or common, to these disciplines that teachers were unaware of; that they had never shared with their students; and that they identified as the source of hitherto unspeakable difficulties encountered by many of them. The hypothesis defended here is therefore that - through an effect of analogies and contrasts - interdisciplinary dialogue can be a formidable tool for reinforcing and clarifying disciplinary teaching, and could play a key role in teacher training.]]></description>

      <title>The use and impact of auditory stimulation in animals</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Music can cause pleasant sensations in humans whereas some noises can cause discomfort. The effects of music and noise have also been somewhat studied in animals, showing different impacts. In this review we aim to illustrate the differences and similarities between animals, in terms of their sensitivity to auditory stimuli (noise or music), by first recalling some generalities about the physical characteristics of sound and the biological bases of hearing. Second, based on the studies reported in this review, we conclude that ambient noise is harmful and/or stressful, and that musical sounds can take many forms with a large range of impacts in animals. Finally, we present two practical examples of the use of music with animals (one in the context of a zoo and the other in cattle breeding) and an example of an experiment designed to understand the impact of music on neonate lambs. These three examples highlight how music can help to improve animal welfare.]]></description>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Music can cause pleasant sensations in humans whereas some noises can cause discomfort. The effects of music and noise have also been somewhat studied in animals, showing different impacts. In this review we aim to illustrate the differences and similarities between animals, in terms of their sensitivity to auditory stimuli (noise or music), by first recalling some generalities about the physical characteristics of sound and the biological bases of hearing. Second, based on the studies reported in this review, we conclude that ambient noise is harmful and/or stressful, and that musical sounds can take many forms with a large range of impacts in animals. Finally, we present two practical examples of the use of music with animals (one in the context of a zoo and the other in cattle breeding) and an example of an experiment designed to understand the impact of music on neonate lambs. These three examples highlight how music can help to improve animal welfare.]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Science paysagère au service de l'observatoire scientifique Sociétés-Milieux en appui à la gestion territoriale</title>

      <title>Ingredients and proposals for defining the contours of a networked observatory of the ecological capital of the Rhone watershed: contributions from the OSAGE (Scientific Observatory in support of land managers) and CECN (Ecosystem Accounting for Natural Capital) approaches.</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The article addresses the issues related to the development of environmental observation and assessment, which partly respond to incentive policies but also to institutional and citizen awareness. Our contribution is based on the experimentation of a systemic approach to ecological accounting (Ecosystemic Accounting of Natural Capital, CECN) at the scale of the Rhône watershed, by comparing it with a theoretical model, the OSAGE observatory. The objective, together with scientific, technical and organizational recommendations, the fruit of this confrontation, aims to question the deployment capacities of the CECN tool in an observatory of territorial resources structured by the scientific, technical and organizational systems of 'OSAGE. The effective implementation of such a tool calls for an urgent need for more coherent public policies in terms of data (time, spaces, protocols), enriched by multi-actor participatory platforms, all of which can make it possible to coordinate and operating the choices and the protocols of constitution of data (formats, methods of exchanges, etc.).]]></description>

      <title>Well-being and ill-being, the two Janus figures of a psychophysiological homeostasis</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Le bien-être, c’est tout d’abord une absence. Une absence de certains symptômes psychophysiologiques qui sont, quant à eux, l’expression d’un déséquilibre dans notre homéostasie mentale, et, par contrecoup, organique. Le bien-être, c’est comme le bonheur ou la bonne santé, ses concomitants : on ne s’aperçoit qu’on les avait seulement quand on ne les a plus, nous disent les parémiologues. Le bien-être, ce n’est ni une sensation, ni même un sentiment, c’est une disposition d’esprit, c’est l’ataraxie des Anciens. Mais alors comment arriver à mesurer une absence, quelque chose de l’ordre du spirituel qui échappe, par essence, à toute investigation normative ou quantitative ? Comment obvier ce qui apparaît bien comme étant une aporie ? C’est pourtant le pari pris par ce numéro spécial de la revue JIMIS : existe-t-il une méthodologie pertinente permettant d’évaluer les paramètres psychophysiologiques qui nous font « nous sentir bien » : ce sont en fait les mêmes qui, a contrario, sont perturbés en cas de mal-être. Car le paradoxe est bien là : le bien-être ne peut se définir que par une approche antinomique. Je vous propose donc, en guise de prolégomènes éditoriaux, un court épitomé historique portant surtout sur… le mal-être !]]></description>

      <title>The Observatory of Complementary and Non-Conventional Medicine: an organization serving the development of integrative and scientific medicine</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Sensible au fort développement des thérapies non conventionnelles dans nos sociétés occidentales une équipe autour du doyen de la faculté de médecine de Nice s’est questionnée sur ces pratiques plébiscitées par les patients alors qu’elles ne sont pas reconnues par le milieu médical. En 2015, cette équipe réunissant médecins, praticiens et universitaires a décidé de créer une association loi 1901. L’observatoire était né. Discutant du titre de cette structure loi 1901, entre les termes médecines alternatives, parallèles, etc., le choix s’est fixé sur « médecines complémentaires et non conventionnelles ». Qu’on regarde ces pratiques avec bienveillance ou suspicion, il ne fait aucun doute que les patients les utilisent. Le patient retrouve son pouvoir d’agir sur sa santé et la plupart des techniques qu’on appelle « corps-esprit » peuvent lui permettre de trouver des ressources internes de santé, de guérison et d’autonomie, ce qui est fondamental et complémentaire de la médecine dite « conventionnelle » ou officielle. L’observatoire des médecines complémentaires et non conventionnelles de Nice (OMCNC, http://omcnc.fr/) s’est d’abord donné comme objectif d’étudier certaines de ces pratiques les plus validées de soins complémentaires, de soutenir et d’organiser des recherches dans ce champ, d’organiser des colloques annuels pour informer le public et connecter des réseaux de recherches. Au cours de son évolution, l’observatoire a mis en place des pratiques et des enseignements notamment pour les étudiants de la faculté de médecine, mais aussi pour des personnels du CHU et des patients. Plusieurs DU ont été créés : hypnose médicale, méditation, phyto-aromathérapie etc. Des membres de l’OMCNC mènent et publient des recherches sur les pratiques complémentaires. L’OMCNC s’organise en réseau avec d’autres structures sciences - milieux - sociétés, partageant l’objectif d’enrichir le milieu médical et de l’ouvrir à des pratiques de soin et de santé qu’il ignore et considère encore trop souvent comme hors de son champ d’intervention.]]></description>

      <title>Dance and embodiment: therapeutic benefits on body-mind health</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Dance is a universal form of human expression that constitutes a physical activity and a body language that involves motor, cognitive, visuospatial, emotional and social engagement. This article is focusing on the therapeutic benefits of dance regarding body-mind health. After an introduction, we discuss the connection between body movements and the nervous system, highlighting the neuronal correlates of dance recently evidenced by new methods in neuroscience of dance, showing how dance can positively act on the brain and the nerves and opening a wide range of opportunities to deal with body-mind health based in therapeutic dance approaches. We then present a review of scientific studies addressing the therapeutic effects of different practices involving dance, which are very structured on the embodiment or body consciousness aspect of the dance. The last section illustrates some clinical psychological benefits of dance therapy in clinics, when used at the bedside, focusing on the psychological and emotional points of view. In conclusion, this article reviews how recent methods allow demonstrating the therapeutic benefits of different dance approaches, that appear closely related to the essential role of body consciousness promoted by dancing.]]></description>

Sous l’apparence du déroulement linéaire inévitable à un art du temps, ce processus est une amplification, un développement semblable à une croissance. Chaque moment de ce développement devient la conséquence de tout ce qui l’a précédé et pas uniquement du moment qui le précède immédiatement ; il devient aussi cause de tout ce qui s’ensuit et pas uniquement du moment suivant ; tout moment est lié à tous les autres dans l’accomplissement d’un destin commun qui est l’équilibre de l’ensemble.

      <description><![CDATA[White spot areas depict geographic locations which are not covered by mobile network operators. In Senegal, the Sylvo-pastoral hosted by Ferlo's region has a prominent role according to livestock transhumance. Nevertheless, this region is roughly covered by white spot areas. The lack of cellular network infrastructure is a pitfall for vital information dissemination for agro-pastoralists. Therefore, this paper describes the deployment and testbed performance evaluation in rural and urban environment of a LoRa-based COWShED communication architecture.

      <title>When and how to fallow: first steps towards banana crop yield improvement through optimal and sustainable control of a soilborne pest</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The main hindrance to banana crop yields is the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis, a microscopic worm that feeds and develops in plant roots. R. similis is an obligatory parasite that fortunately resists badly in the absence of its host. Hence, the deployment of fallows is an efficient way to keep its populations low enough in the soil to have good economic returns on banana bunches. The banana plant is a perennial plant which reproduces itself by budding from its roots, but after a fallow period, a nematode-free sucker needs to be planted to provide for the next cropping season. Fallow is a recommended cropping practice to reduce nematode infestation, but it comes at the cost of nematode-free suckers. Moreover, fallows reduce the time devoted to growing bananas on a given time horizon and may reduce the total yield. A trade-off should then be found between fallow deployment to reduce pest infestation and economic returns. The questions that emerge are when to leave room for the natural reproduction of the banana plant, and when to deploy the fallow? How long to deploy the fallow if applicable? On the basis of mathematical models this paper attempts to answer the questions.]]></description>

      <title>Use of automated speech analysis and facial emotion measurements on videos to assess the effects of relaxation devices: a pilot study</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Rapid relaxation installations in order to reduce stress appear more and more in public or work places. However, the effects of such devices on physiological and psychological parameters have not been scientifically tested yet. This pilot study (N=40) evaluates the variations of vocal speech and facial emotions parameters in 3-minute videos of participant recorded just before and after relaxation, on four different groups, three of them using a different rapid (15 minutes) sensorial immersion relaxation devices and a control group using no device. Vocal speech parameters included sound duration, pause mean duration, sound duration ratio, mean vocal frequency (F0), standard deviation of F0, minimum and maximum of F0, jitter and shimmer. Facial emotion analysis included neutral, happy, sad, surprised, angry, disgusted, scared, contempt, valence and arousal. The objective of this study is to evaluate different parameters of the automated vocal and facial emotions analysis that could be of use to evaluate the relaxation effect of different devices and to measure their variations in the different experimental groups. We identified significant parameters that can be of use for evaluating rapid relaxation devices, particularly voice prosody and minimum vocal frequency, and some facial emotion such as happy, sad, the valence and arousal. Those parameters allowed us to discriminate distinct effects of the different devices used: in G1 (control) and G2 (spatialized sounds), we observed a slowdown in voice prosody; in G3 (Be-Breathe) a decrease in minimum vocal frequency and an increase of arousal; while in G4 (3D-video) we found an increase in facial emotion valence (happy increasing and sad decreasing). Other parameters tested were not affected by relaxation.]]></description>

      <title>Physiological effects (heart rate, respiration rate and EEG) of rapid relaxation devices with sensorial immersion: a pilot study</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Rapid relaxation devices developed by private companies propose rapid solutions to fight against stress or anxiety. However, there have been insufficient scientific studies on these devices. In a previous article, we evaluated the variation of 15 physiological and psychological parameters before and after relaxation in 4 groups of participants using 3 different rapid (15 minute) relaxation devices with sensorial immersion and a control group using no device. This pilot study included 40 participants, 12 males and 28 females, aged 27-68 years old with an average of 42.7 ± 11.5 years old and showed that some parameters were more relevant for the analysis of these relaxation devices and suggested some differences in the relaxation processes between devices. We hypothesized that by analyzing physiological parameters recorded during the rapid relaxation process in the same population, we could unravel the previously observed pre-post treatment variations. The measurements included brain wave electroencephalography (Muse2 EEG) recordings, respiration rhythm (mechanical abdominal movements) and heart rate variability parameters (PPG signals). The objective of the study was to identify the physiological parameters recorded during relaxation of interest to discriminate the groups and to study the effects of the devices on these parameters. The EEG recordings showed differences in dominant waves between groups. In addition, the Be-Breathe intervention group exhibited a decreased respiration rate compared to the control group, and a simultaneous increase in heart rate variability parameters, while other groups showed less significant variations in their respiration or heart rate variables, which was confirmed by a k-means cluster analysis. We discuss how these variations observed during rapid relaxation could contribute to the differences that we previously observed pre and post relaxation interventions. Finally, we built a model to determine which parameters discriminate best between the groups.]]></description>

      <title>Physiological and psychological effects of rapid relaxation devices using sensorial immersion: a pilot study</title>
      <description><![CDATA[In developed societies, the number of people diagnosed with chronic stress-related illnesses has risen rapidly in recent years. To meet the increasing demand for relaxation and well-being, several companies have developed relaxation installations to be used within business premises or in public locations. The effects of such devices on physiological and psychological parameters have not been scientifically tested yet. This pilot study (N=40) evaluates the variations of 4 physiological and 11 psychological parameters on four different groups, three of them using a different rapid (15 minute) sensorial immersion relaxation devices and a control group using no device. The objective of the study was to identify the psychological and psychological parameters of interest and to study the effects of the devices on these parameters. Physiological parameters measured included heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2 and posture. Psychological parameters included an anxiety survey and four numerical scales to evaluate well-being, energy gain, and subjective muscular and nervous relaxation. We also used cognitive tests and verbatim reports. We identified significant physiological and psychological parameters that can be of use for evaluating rapid relaxation devices (particularly mean blood pressure, posture, subjective muscular and nervous relaxation and some of the cognitive test results). Interestingly, the parameters variations differed between groups. This study paves the way for further analysis of relaxation devices and suggests that rapid sensorial immersion relaxation devices can be of use in stressful environments. Each device could particularly help specific users, depending upon their needs.]]></description>

      <title>Geographical Information Science observatories, theoretical and methodological transitions</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Over the past decades geographical information science has been progressively recognized as a scientific field of its own. Initially starting from a purely engineering perspective, geographical information science is now based on a series of fundamental theories and methods that largely contribute to its recognition in academia. The objective of this paper is to make an argument for more study of the ecosystem of geographical information science through an observational framework, and to examine the processes and abstraction of the different communities that interact with information about geographical spaces. The main idea is to explore and further develop the concept of a geographical information science observatory, the objective of which is to focus not only on geographical information as such, but also and indeed primarily on the users of geographical information, their motivations, and the theoretical, methodological, and technological frameworks with which they develop their information.]]></description>

      <title>Managing and sharing multidisciplinary information in human-environment observatories: feedbacks and recommendations from the French DRIIHM network</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The LabEx DRIIHM is a research network that gathers together 13 Human-Environment Observatories (OHM) focused on anthropogenically modified socio-ecosystems in France and worldwide. Within the open science context, a Research Data Infrastructure (RDI) was implemented brick by brick to describe, visualize, and disseminate multidisciplinary long-tail datasets produced by the DRIIHM community. The RDI contains both tools and standards at the network scale, and specific tools at the individual observatory scale. This paper describes the building blocks of the RDI and analyses its strengths and challenges on the basis of engineer feedback and user surveys. Recommendations for improving the RDI, better measuring its effectiveness, and enhancing open science awareness, have been formalized for the SO-DRIIHM project that will start in 2020. Cross-disciplinary approaches using DataViz tools have emerged already, and these enrich the way in which scientific information is disseminated, and could raise new scientific issues.]]></description>

Malheureusement diffusé avec une méconnaissance des subtilités de la pensée de Jung, comment remettre de la rigueur dans ce concept tout en gardant une certaine ouverture ? Dans cet article, nous mettons en relation le principe de l'aléa du quantique établi comme propriété fondamentale du temps par le mathématicien Alain Connes avec les notions de synchronicité, d'archétypes et d'individuation développées par Jung en collaboration avec le prix Nobel de physique Wolfgang Pauli.]]></description>

Malheureusement diffusé avec une méconnaissance des subtilités de la pensée de Jung, comment remettre de la rigueur dans ce concept tout en gardant une certaine ouverture ? Dans cet article, nous mettons en relation le principe de l'aléa du quantique établi comme propriété fondamentale du temps par le mathématicien Alain Connes avec les notions de synchronicité, d'archétypes et d'individuation développées par Jung en collaboration avec le prix Nobel de physique Wolfgang Pauli.]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Multi-dimensional Urban Network Percolation</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Network percolation has recently been proposed as a method to characterize the hierarchical structure of an urban system from the bottom-up. This paper proposes to extend urban network per-colation in a multi-dimensional way, to take into account both urban form (spatial distribution of population) and urban functions (here as properties of transportation networks). The method is applied to the European urban system to reconstruct endogenous urban regions. The variable parametrization allows to consider patterns of optimization for two stylized contradictory sustainability indicators (economic performance and greenhouse gases emissions). This suggests a customizable spatial design of policies to develop sustainable territories.]]></description>

      <title>Time and its categories in Classical Greek: Language and thought</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The conceptions of time are manifold (cyclic, linear, subjective/objective etc.). This is also true of Ancient Greece (Lloyd 1976). However, in Classical Greece certain human sciences arise and evolve at the same time, including History (Herodotus, Thucydides) and Philosophy (Plato, Aristotle), which may share a common notion of time. We explore the idea that these developments are related to what we observe in the language in the same period, namely that the marking of aspect and mood steps back and gives way to a more precise marking of time in the verbal system. This may be due to mutual influences of the categories of language and thought, as already observed in Benveniste (1958).]]></description>

      <title>Predicting interactions between individuals with structural and dynamical information</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Capturing both structural and temporal features of interactions is crucial in many real-world situations like studies of contact between individuals. Using the link stream formalism to model data, we address here the activity prediction problem: we predict the number of links that will occur during a given time period between each pair of nodes. To do this, we take benefit from the temporal and structural information captured by link streams. We design and implement a modular supervised learning method to make prediction, and we study the key elements influencing its performances. We then introduce classes of node pairs, which improves prediction quality and increases diversity.]]></description>

      <title>Political network of central power agents: case of missi dominici</title>
      <description><![CDATA[This study offers several models of social network analysis to examine the organization of central power agents, missi dominici, during the Early Middle Ages. Enriched by statistical analysis, different research hypotheses based on the current historiographical positions have been substantiated. On the one side, the network analysis allowed to highlight the evolution of network structure throughout the studied period and to observe a change in the framework of agents transition between reigns. On the other side, the statistical exploration of the relations between the agents and the places of their assignments confirmed some amplification, with time, of a tendency to recruit the agents among the local aristocracy. Finally, several difficulties related to the analyzing of missing data provided by fragmentary historical records as well as to modeling a complex multimodal political network were mentioned.]]></description>

      <title>A general graph-based framework for top-N recommendation using content, temporal and trust information</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Recommending appropriate items to users is crucial in many e-commerce platforms. One common approach consists in selecting the N most relevant items for each user. To achieve this, recom-mender systems rely on various kinds of information, like item and user features, past interest of users for items and trust between users. Current systems generally use only one or two such pieces of information, which limits their performance. In this paper, we design and implement GraFC2T2, a general graph-based framework to easily combine various kinds of information for top-N recommendation. It encodes content-based features, temporal and trust information into a graph model, and uses personalized PageRank on this graph to perform recommendation. Experiments are conducted on Epinions and Ciao datasets, and comparisons are done with systems based on matrix factorization and deep learning using F1-score, Hit ratio and MAP evaluation metrics. The results show that combining different kinds of information generally improves recommendation. This shows the relevance of the proposed framework.]]></description>

      <title>Le perpétuel présent au coeur du devenir…</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Le temps est un thème de recherche qui, comme les concepts de vide, d'infini, d'énergie ou encore d'absolu est polysémique au point d'en devenir totalement indéfinissable. Afin d'éviter cette difficulté de recherche de sens, ne pourrions-nous pas plutôt nous demander s'il peut exister, pour notre espèce, une juste posture existentielle face à l'aspect protéiforme du temps ? En définitive, la question majeure concernant notre rapport au temps n'est-elle pas de savoir si nous avons la capacité de ressentir une possible éternité de soi au coeur même de notre existence soumise à la finitude ? Afin de relever un tel défi, nous devons envisager une interdépendance de la conscience et du temps. Convoquons pour cela le « holisme » de David Bohm, les travaux des Dr Jean-Jacques Charbonnier et Pim Van Lommel sur les états EMI (états de mort imminente), mais ceux également du physicien Carlo Rovelli qui compare le temps à un millefeuille. La philosophie d'Henri Bergson, à l'aide de l'analogie de la flamme et du papillon, nous invitera à repérer différentes « postures » existentielles face aux multiples aspects du temps. Les travaux de Benjamin Libet, de neuroscientifiques comme Antoine Lutz ou encore Francisco Varela, ouvrent un vaste champ de recherche à ce sujet… Enfin, la manière de cultiver l'adéquation de nos états de conscience avec les multiples facettes du temps semble se résumer par une sorte de mise en abîme de nos différentes identités ou images/moi. Il s'agit d'observer et ressentir le réel à partir de moi sujet comme référent physique. Ceci suppose une pleine conscience de soi. Le réel semble alors se déréaliser et le sujet se dépersonnalise hors du temps et de l'espace. Un quelque chose perçoit et ressent en lieu et place de lui-même.

      <description><![CDATA[The computational function of the neuronal discharge rates in the processing of information by the brain today seems improbable, even though the principle of psychoneural identity has led to remarkable practical results. Coincidence detection, coherent oscillations of neural territories, phase locking and/or phase advances in neuronal timing suggest the use by the brain of a precise time coding. This code, however, perhaps do not aim at a precise description of the environment, but rather at the statistical characterization of the causes of the received stimulations, taking into account the wealth of acquired knowledge, in a typically Bayesian processing of information.]]></description>

      <title>The threads of Time</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Etienne Klein’s lecture has well put in situation the treatment of time and that of the irreversibility of physical phenomena by physicists since Galileo until Einstein. Starting from the Einstein’s relativity, the first part of this paper will recall some features of contemporary physics that should be kept in mind when speaking about time : the necessity to resort to the concept of space-time and its structure ; the Langevin’s traveler will be used for justifying the introduction of gravitation in general relativity theory ; the contrast between the law of entropy increase in isolated systems and the possibility of self-organization in open systems will be emphasized. In the second part, the absence of the notion of present in physical theory will be taken up; Whitehead’s philosophy of nature is introduced, the central point of which about time is the non-existence of instants of time. Despite its limitations, the Whitehead’s philosophy of nature opens perspectives for a metaphysics of time that is compatible with both quantum mechanics and relativity. Furthermore, it has the merit of proposing an explanation of the present and of the mechanisms of passage from potentialities to concrete realities.]]></description>

      <title>L'adieu au temps</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Temps et durées sont souvent confondus, ou du moins considérés comme étroitement reliés. Ceci est tout à fait légitime dans le cadre de l'ancienne physique newtonienne, où la notion de temps apparaît comme une reconstruction à partir des durées, permise précisément par ce lien. Mais les physiciens se sont aperçus que ce lien n'était qu'une illusion, une illusion indécelable à la précision de la vie courante ; mais dont les observations physiques de plus en plus précises ont manifesté l'inexactitude. La raison d'être des théories relativistes est de prendre en compte cette rupture ; de fournir une manière exacte et précise de décrire un monde physique dans lequel la notion de temps a perdu sa pertinence. Mots-clés durée ; temps ; relativité ; Einstein I INTRODUCTION Les évocations du temps en soulignent souvent certaines de ses manifestations telles que durée, simultanéité, chronologie, datations… Elles le lient à d'autres notions, comme celle d'évolution, de mouvement, de causalité, d'entropie…, à tel point que parfois ces notions sont confondues, ou en tous cas, mal caractérisées. Dans cet essai je veux souligner clairement la distinction entre les notions de temps et de durée ; je veux montrer que la première est construite à partir de la seconde. J'établirai quelles conditions doivent être remplies pour que cette reconstitution soit possible. Alors il apparaîtra comment la constatation que ces conditions ne sont pas remplies dans notre monde physique rend la notion de temps incompatible avec la physique actuelle.

      <title>Du temps devant soi</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Où la sculpture et l'arbre se rejoignent le temps d'un colloque. Mots-clés Art ; sculpture ; arbre ; temps ; « lumière fossilisée » I DU TEMPS DEVANT SOI Il y a, au début de mon travail, ancrée dans ma plus tendre enfance, une fascination pour la sculpture et un besoin de me confronter aux arbres. Les deux se rejoindront une cinquantaine d'années plus tard à Nice, les 6, 7 et 8 juin 2018, dans le cadre d'un colloque vivifiant par les thèmes abordés, les intervenants et le souci de transmission citoyenne du savoir qui sous-tendait le tout.

Mots-clés Art ; sculpture ; arbre ; temps ; « lumière fossilisée » I DU TEMPS DEVANT SOI Il y a, au début de mon travail, ancrée dans ma plus tendre enfance, une fascination pour la sculpture et un besoin de me confronter aux arbres. Les deux se rejoindront une cinquantaine d'années plus tard à Nice, les 6, 7 et 8 juin 2018, dans le cadre d'un colloque vivifiant par les thèmes abordés, les intervenants et le souci de transmission citoyenne du savoir qui sous-tendait le tout.

      <title>Le temps relationnel</title>
      <description><![CDATA[La perception du temps est un aspect fondamental de la cohérence personnelle que nous désignons comme « propre-temps ». Ce temps vécu subjectivement et le temps socialement compté sont entrelacés. Ils sont en résonance, et parfois en contradiction au sein de chaque sujet. Il y a plus : concernant la communication humaine, quand deux personnes se rencontrent deux « propre-temps » se conjuguent et forment un temps relationnel. Nous sommes en présence de deux éléments formant un système, et nous savons que le résultat est différent de la simple somme des parties. Le temps relationnel émergera alors en tant que qualité donnant une coloration, une saveur, au « propre-temps » de chacune des deux personnes en présence. En retour, la situation pourra évoluer vers de l'incompréhension, voire des conflits dus à des vécus temporels différents dans le contexte de la rencontre. Comment agir pour envisager une issue constructive aux situations difficiles ? Pour notre part, à partir de petites expériences concrètes, nous proposerons d'envisager ensemble la « relativité » de la durée subjective et l'orientation personnelle de chacun dans le temps. Puis nous indiquerons leur impact majeur sur le temps relationnel du couple et de la famille. Enfin, nous évoquerons sur ces bases les conditions élémentaires d'une écoute et d'un dialogue renouvelés, autrement dit d'une coopération et d'un développement interpersonnel. Mots-clés temps relationnel ; communication ; cohérence, constructivisme ; systémique I INTRODUCTION Nous sommes psychologue et psychothérapeute et notre approche se fonde sur l'approche systémique.

      <title>The notion of time from a didactics' point of view. Conceptions of 5 to 7-years- old students about time perception</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The enigmatic question of time, essentially of a physical, psychological and social nature, occupied human since becoming aware of his existence and of the surrounding environment. Young students' conceptions may be a starting point for improving their understanding of the world. This research is interested in very young students who are in full "construction" of the concept of time. Conceptions related to time notion play a decisive role throughout learning procedure and are often incompatible with the scientific model. Conceptions' analysis is a tool for the advancement of a proximal development zone in which a first conceptual system can be built by students. We refer to the area of current or potential success of young students concerning the understanding of time notion. This paper presents findings on 5 to 7-year-old students' conceptions about the inverse relationship between time and speed.

      <title>The cybernetical time</title>
      <description><![CDATA[We consider the two mainstream cosmological models that can be derived from the two physical theories that are the best verified by experiments: general relativity and quantum mechanics, though they are incompatible and a major challenge in physics is to find how to reconcile them. The first model is the block universe, which is considered today as the best way to represent our space-time, if we accept all consequences of general relativity, which seem to imply in particular that our future is already realized and cannot change. The second is the Everett multiverse model, whose most popular interpretation is that it contains all alternative possibilities to conduct our life at our human level (with as many copies of our individual consciousness). Our purpose in this article is to show that the incompatibility between the two mainstream theories could be solved in its global principle via a cybernetical conception of time, through which the block universe would be made flexible. For this purpose, we show that the 6 extra dimensions of space-time we introduced in a previous paper (Guillemant 2018) could be used to coordinate space-time from its outside, so as to make it evolve in the cybernetical time from a 4D structure to any other one belonging to a 10D multiverse. We propose this coordination to be modeled thanks to a 3 layers neural network toy model, using two additional layers corresponding to the necessity to parametrize the choices of paths and destinations so as to restore determinism. The main interest of this approach is to maintain the possibility of a relative free will in our universe.]]></description>

      <title>Philae Landing on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko – Planned Chirality Measurements and Ideas for the Future</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Philae is a comet Lander, part of the ESA Rosetta Mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. After a ten year cruise through the solar system it successfully landed on the nucleus of the comet on November 12, 2014. Philae's payload consists of ten scientific instruments, including COSAC, an evolved gas analyser with the capability to differentiate chiral molecules. After the touchdown of Philae, the anchoring harpoons, which were expected to fix the lander to ground, did not work, Philae bounced in the low gravity environment, and only came to rest after a 2 hours " hop " in an unforeseen area on the comet surface. Although, the scientific instruments, including cameras, mass spectrometers (including the one of COSAC), a magnetometer and a radar instrument could be operated, and fascinating, unprecedented scientific results were obtained, it was not possible to collect a sample of the surface material and no gas chromatography measurement could be performed. Thus, the measurement of the chirality of molecules on comets is still to be done in the future. The paper gives an overview of the Philae mission and the attempts to measure chiral molecules with COSAC, and suggests future measurements with returned samples from the primitive asteroids (162173) Ryugu and (101955) Bennu with the spacecraft Hayabusa 2 (JAXA) and OSIRIS-REx (NASA), respectively. Both will reach their targets in 2018.]]></description>

      <title>Active learning in annotating micro-blogs dealing with e-reputation</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Elections unleash strong political views on Twitter, but what do people really think about politics? Opinion and trend mining on micro blogs dealing with politics has recently attracted researchers in several fields including Information Retrieval and Machine Learning (ML). Since the performance of ML and Natural Language Processing (NLP) approaches are limited by the amount and quality of data available, one promising alternative for some tasks is the automatic propagation of expert annotations. This paper intends to develop a so-called active learning process for automatically annotating French language tweets that deal with the image (i.e., representation, web reputation) of politicians. Our main focus is on the methodology followed to build an original annotated dataset expressing opinion from two French politicians over time. We therefore review state of the art NLP-based ML algorithms to automatically annotate tweets using a manual initiation step as bootstrap. This paper focuses on key issues about active learning while building a large annotated data set from noise. This will be introduced by human annotators, abundance of data and the label distribution across data and entities. In turn, we show that Twitter characteristics such as the author's name or hashtags can be considered as the bearing point to not only improve automatic systems for Opinion Mining (OM) and Topic Classification but also to reduce noise in human annotations. However, a later thorough analysis shows that reducing noise might induce the loss of crucial information.]]></description>

      <title>De l'arbre à la forêt : singularité et généralisation dans les modèles physiques</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Dans tout problème de science et en particulier ceux qui impliquent une modélisation de phénomènes physiques à l’aide d’un ensemble d’équations mathématiques, la question de passer du singulier au général est centrale. L’exemple développé ici est celui de la modélisation du signal électromagnétique d’une forêt afin d’exploiter des images satellitaires pour diverses applications. Pour interpréter le signal reçu, le physicien utilise donc un modèle mathématique qui résume le savoir en cours sur la formation du signal en fonction des caractéristiques de la forêt.La discipline produit énormément de travaux de modélisation qui utilisent des données sur les arbres et les descriptions de l’arbre sont souvent traitées comme secondaires par rapport à la construction de l’appareil mathématique. Or, la description de l’arbre qui va produire le fichier d’entrée du modèle est fondamentale pour le calcul du résultat. Il semble que cette description est traitée comme une non-question de recherche peut-être parce que c’est un objet naturel et non une création de la technologie, ou parce qu’il s’agit d’un objet mesurable par des moyens simples, qu’il est immédiatement accessible (contrairement à la description de l’ADN par exemple).Bref, un arbre : ça crève les yeux... Or, nous montrons ici que l’arbre du physicien est une création totalement nouvelle et originale et que c’est le résultat d’un travail complexe d’élaboration au même titre que l’établissement des équations qui composent le modèle mathématique.]]></description>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Dans tout problème de science et en particulier ceux qui impliquent une modélisation de phénomènes physiques à l’aide d’un ensemble d’équations mathématiques, la question de passer du singulier au général est centrale. L’exemple développé ici est celui de la modélisation du signal électromagnétique d’une forêt afin d’exploiter des images satellitaires pour diverses applications. Pour interpréter le signal reçu, le physicien utilise donc un modèle mathématique qui résume le savoir en cours sur la formation du signal en fonction des caractéristiques de la forêt.La discipline produit énormément de travaux de modélisation qui utilisent des données sur les arbres et les descriptions de l’arbre sont souvent traitées comme secondaires par rapport à la construction de l’appareil mathématique. Or, la description de l’arbre qui va produire le fichier d’entrée du modèle est fondamentale pour le calcul du résultat. Il semble que cette description est traitée comme une non-question de recherche peut-être parce que c’est un objet naturel et non une création de la technologie, ou parce qu’il s’agit d’un objet mesurable par des moyens simples, qu’il est immédiatement accessible (contrairement à la description de l’ADN par exemple).Bref, un arbre : ça crève les yeux... Or, nous montrons ici que l’arbre du physicien est une création totalement nouvelle et originale et que c’est le résultat d’un travail complexe d’élaboration au même titre que l’établissement des équations qui composent le modèle mathématique.]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Contextualizing Geometric Data Analysis and Related Data Analytics: A Virtual Microscope for Big Data Analytics</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The relevance and importance of contextualizing data analytics is described. Qualitative characteristics might form the context of quantitative analysis. Topics that are at issue include: contrast, baselining, secondary data sources, supplementary data sources, dynamic and heterogeneous data. In geometric data analysis, especially with the Correspondence Analysis platform, various case studies are both experimented with, and are reviewed. In such aspects as paradigms followed, and technical implementation, implicitly and explicitly, an important point made is the major relevance of such work for both burgeoning analytical needs and for new analytical areas including Big Data analytics, and so on. For the general reader, it is aimed to display and describe, first of all, the analytical outcomes that are subject to analysis here, and then proceed to detail the more quantitative outcomes that fully support the analytics carried out.]]></description>

      <title>La singularité dans les systèmes complexes.Editorial.</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Le thème de la singularité, si difficile à aborder dans un système de pensée purement cartésien, peut devenir un thème d'étude et de questionnements dans le domaine des systèmes complexes naturels et artificiels où la singularité des émergences invite à s'interroger sur cette 10 caractéristique particulière. Pour autant, ce thème demande à être davantage investigué tant les acceptions sont différentes, d'une discipline à l'autre, derrière ce mot. Au delà des différences, on peut réduire le concept de singularité à cinq catégories fondamentales de compréhension par delà les disciplines]]></description>

      <title>De la singularité en géographie</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Singularity in French both refers to uniqueness of places on earth and to the conception of this unique case as one realised possible among many other similar spatio-temporal trajectories in the dynamics of complex systems including bifurcations. Here is demonstrated how dimulation models that reconstruct the evolution of geographical systems enable to circulate between these two acceptions of the singularity and even to overcome their apparent contradiction. I apologetically illustrate this idea by a singular narrative recalling the genesis of the Simpop model series, that was a collective venture in a constant practice of pluri inter and transdisciplinarity.]]></description>

      <title>The Problem of Action at a Distance in Networks and the Emergence of Preferential Attachment from Triadic Closure</title>
      <description><![CDATA[In this paper, we characterise the notion of preferential attachment in networks as action at a distance, and argue that it can only be an emergent phenomenon – the actual mechanism by which networks grow always being the closing of triangles. After a review of the concepts of triangle closing and preferential attachment, we present our argument, as well as a simplified model in which preferential attachment can be derived mathematically from triangle closing. Additionally, we perform experiments on synthetic graphs to demonstrate the emergence of preferential attachment in graph growth models based only on triangle closing.]]></description>

      <title>Brazilian Congress structural balance analysis</title>
      <description><![CDATA[In this work, we study the behavior of Brazilian politicians and political parties with the help of clustering algorithms for signed social networks. For this purpose, we extract and analyze a collection of signed networks representing voting sessions of the lower house of Brazilian National Congress. We process all available voting data for the period between 2011 and 2016, by considering voting similarities between members of the Congress to define weighted signed links. The solutions obtained by solving Correlation Clustering (CC) problems are the basis for investigating deputies voting networks as well as questions about loyalty, leadership, coalitions, political crisis and polarization.]]></description>

      <title>Reflections on Studying Signed Networks</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Despite considerable success, the balance theoretic approach to studying signed relations has encountered some serious problems, both substantive and methodological. The more consequential of them are outlined along with reasons for why solving them is critical. In essence, an agenda of research problems is laid out with many juicy problems to solve. These reflections, while setting a context in prior work, are far more concerned about looking to the future and identifying problems whose solutions hold the potential for transforming the field.]]></description>
