most of the films that deal with science, broadcast on television, are the interceiver between the production of scientific knowledge and a more or less lay audience. This is not always an established knowledge; they may be under construction, sometimes controversial in the scientific community, or may be knowledge whose applications may be called into question by society. The scope is wide and the ways of processing these films are covered by different invoices: creative documentaries and investigative films, reports, activist films, entertaining performances, educational films, etc. In order to gain a better understanding of the actual intentions to transmit knowledge in these films, it is interesting to ask the question of speakers: who speaks? The scientific authors? The filmmakers? Journalists? And do they speak on their behalf? On behalf of their institutions? Of their businesses? Or even their producers? And when they speak 'in their names', is their eyes 'scientific' or does they mix other insights: their fighting for a cause, their beliefs, their ideologies and their scientific but also political, economic interests? This is all the more so because these speakers often work in more or less identifiable cascades: 'On', which characterises an offline voice which takes the view of 'God', can be taken up by a journalist, who invites a scientist, who himself quotes other scientists, other experts,. sometimes producing an enentment of speakers, which makes the viewer unable to locate the speech offered to him and thereby to understand the 'what' and 'why' of what he is told. To blur citizens in their relationship with knowledge and science, and to blur students with their science teachers, there is only one step, as I would like to show in a few examples of science films broadcast on television. ; Les films qui traitent de science, diffusés par la télévision, se proposent pour la plupart d'être les intercesseurs entre une production de savoirs scientifiques et un public plus ou moins profane.

164 173 23 32 ; SWORD ; [EN] In the work of Andrés de Vandelvira, and of course in the manuscript treatise by his son Alonso, a number of complex stonecutting problems are worked out, including those involving warped surfaces. Adding complexity and refinement to the field of stereotomic architecture, Vandelvira also incorporated, as a main or secondary feature, cyclic surfaces in order to generate helixes and helicoids. The reasons underpinning the deployment of these geometric shapes lie halfway between utilitarian solutions to specific problems and the search for a heightened plasticity capable of eliciting a more nuanced psychological response in viewers. We dare say that these highly sophisticated constructive elements, which sometimes amount to little more than minor details or accessories within the building, are endowed with a unique mystical character that allows them, as it were, to stand for the entire structure. ; [ES] En la obra de Vandelvira, y por supuesto en el manuscrito de su hijo, se van declarando una serie de temas entre los que no quedan de lado distintas aplicaciones sobre el empleo de superficies alabeadas. Ampliando el grado de complejidad en este campo, Vandelvira considera además el uso de superficies cíclicas que, bien con un papel protagonista o bien como solución complementaria, terminan generando hélices y helicoides. La explicación del despliegue de estas figuras geométricas queda a medio camino entre las soluciones a problemáticas de carácter utilitario y la búsqueda de una expresividad plástica capaz de suscitar en el usuario respuestas psicológicas más complejas. Podemos decir que estos fragmentos constructivos, en ocasiones identificados como detalles menores o accesorios con respecto al total de la obra, están dotados de un espíritu místico singular con la suficiente capacidad para significar al conjunto.

Research framework: Public open spaces offer a variety of configurations and environments that may be observed from different perspectives. For youths, this is a notion that includes a great diversity of profiles and that have been an important political and social issue in France since the 1980s. The public space used by France's youths are suffering from an outdated approach to how the presence of youths is considered to be a problem that requires a solution.Objectives: This text aims to explore the modes of appropriation and the functions and uses of Toulouse's public spaces by young people aged 11 to 28. How are young people's relationships to urban public space defined? How do these spaces make sense for them? What are their functions? How do young people appropriate and settle in these places? What purpose or use do they serve? What is at play here?Methodology: These questions will be examined through the use of cartography and ethnographic observation to identify the issues raised by the presence of youths in urban public spaces. This paper presents the results of a study commissioned by Toulouse's Town Council conducted from December 2012 to June 2013.Results: The study has shown that the entire city area is affected by the presence of youths and that their use of urban public space, while never predefined, are the result of social construction processes in which youths play an active role.Conclusions: Urban public spaces are, youths, a rich field for experimentation. They remain spaces of socialization where social relationships are built and where young people explore the public aspects of social life and that shape the conditions for their visibility.Contribution: This text raises the question of youth, its image and what society wishes for young people. It also examines possible institutional insertion of youths into urban public spaces and makes an important contribution to youth policy research. ; Cadre de la recherche : Les espaces publics présentent une diversité de formes et d'environnements qui ...

551 563 160 ; S ; [EN] Nowadays, the use of new materials is becoming increasingly common in the construction world due to their improved properties. High or Very High Performance Concrete (HPC or VHPC) and Shape Memory Alloys (SMA), specifically those composed of nickel and titanium (Ni-Ti), are some of these new materials. The low austenitic modulus of Ni-Ti as regards the elasticity modulus of steel (40-65 GPa instead of 200 GPa) can cause local buckling. In order to replace steel bars with Ni-Ti bars in reinforced concrete elements, it is convenient to use concrete with a high steel fibre content to delay local bar buckling. Hence employing either High Performance Concrete or VHPC may be appropriate, due to its composition with a high steel fibre content. For all these reasons, VHPC elements with Ni-Ti reinforcements were studied. The results of an experimental campaign of VHPC columns are shown in this article. The VHPC columns were subjected to monotonic loading where the main goal was to study compressed steel reinforcement buckling. The results of these tests were also used to extend the mixed model proposed by Pereiro-Barceló and Bonet (2017), which determines the buckling critical stress for any transverse reinforcement separation and considers the effect of the concrete cover (with and without steel fibres). This model was recalibrated to consider elements made of VHPC. Besides, specimens made of either High Performance Concrete (HPC) or VHPC, and with Ni-Ti reinforcements, were also tested to study the behaviour of compressed Ni-Ti reinforcements in elements made of high strength fibre-reinforced concrete.

Analyzing mutations in the policy subsystem of hydrocarbons in Quebec, the paper aims to show the different dimensions of policy change. Transformation and inertia are studied to highlight how the hydrocarbons subsystem is shaped by incrementalism. However, instruments and actors adjustments show new dynamics that open policy-making to new stakes. Policy change is not brought only by exogenous events but also by endogenous limits of the subsystem and the will to overcome them to maintain the system in place. ; En analysant les mutations du secteur d'action publique sur les hydrocarbures au Québec, l'article vise à mettre en évidence différentes dimensions du changement. Les transformations et l'inertie institutionnelle sont analysées afin de montrer comment le secteur des hydrocarbures reste marqué par l'incrémentalisme. Toutefois, les ajustements en termes d'instruments et d'acteurs illustrent des dynamiques nouvelles qui ouvrent l'action publique à des enjeux nouveaux. Le changement n'est pas tant insufflé par un choc exogène que par les limites endogènes au secteur et la volonté de les dépasser pour maintenir le système en place.

International audience This article focuses on the place of temporalities in the process of identity construction, in continuation of A.-M.Thiesse's work. This topic is approached here, through a study of interventionist discourse during Soviet show trials in the inter-war period (1928-1933). At that time, the Soviet authorities both exalted an image of allied intervention during the civil war in Russia and insisted simultaneously on the imminent danger of a new foreign armed attack against the USSR. The article analyses the process of creation and the objectives of thisamalgam, blurring the time frontiers between two events, one historical and another projected into the nearest future. The analysis shows that reshuffle of temporalities, which is characteristic of interventionist discourse, is mobilized by political power. Designed to advance multiple goals, it is namely thought to be a means of identity construction process. This example shows that the latter is not based only on creation of a past and a present shared by all the members of a community. The future and more generally the process of time frontiers blurring can also be thought to be a mechanism of social cohesion reinforcement. ; Cet essai développe une réflexion sur la place des temporalités dans le processus de la construction identitaire dans la lignée des travaux de A.-M. Thiesse. Cette thématique est abordée ici à travers l'étude du discours interventionniste pendant les procès-spectacles en Union Soviétique entre 1928 et 1933. Lors de ces procès, les autorités soviétiques exaltent une image de l'intervention alliée du temps de la guerre civile, tout en insistant sur le danger immédiat d'une nouvelle offensive armée contre le pays. L'article revient en détail sur la création et les finalités de cet amalgame systématiquement réitéré, au point que les frontières temporelles entre les deux évènements s'effacent. L'analyse de l'amalgame montre que les remaniements des temporalités, caractéristiques du discours interventionniste, sont mobilisés ...

International audience Klerić uses a new instrument, called tractoriograph, for the construction of "impossible" mathematical problems. The major part of these constructions is based on the "circular tractrix", that is the tractrix of a circle traced with the condition that the length or the tractoriograph is equal to the radius of the circle. A spectacular property of this curve is that, if it is joined to a ruler and a compass, it allows the rectification of any arc of the circle. From that, it is easy to construct the number π, to rectify and to square the circle, and to inscribe in it a regular polygon with any number of sides. Incidentally, by using the tractrix of a straight line, Klerić proves that the number e is also constructible with his tractoriograph.

Eduardo Mendicutti is one of Spain's most prominent authors in the literary representation of non-normative sexuality in recent decades. This article addresses the fictional construction of depictions of sexual dissent in one of Mendicutti's novels in the 1980s, Best Time Time (1989). From a sex-dissident and queer perspective, the representation of non-normative sexuality is analysed in dialogue with the context in which the novel is produced and the rest of Mendicutti's work. The novelty, which closes the author's production in the 1980s, is important for thinking about dissident sexuality in times of normalisation and repression specific to the HIV-Sida crisis in the 1980s in Spain. The conservative positioning specific to the heteronormed regime and the conservative gay standard are positioned as policies that repress subversive sexual positions, dissidents, promises and abjects to build a homogenous gay identity tending to a hegemonic masculinity.

New Caledonia is at a crossroads leading to its political destiny and an increasing number of emerging questions, as we approach the end of the period of application of the Nouméa Agreement. On the eve of a referendum on self-determination which will a priori take place in November 2018, the time has come for New Caledonia to make its introduction and to be able to make choices. In addition to the divisive question raised by the referendum, New Caledonia needs to develop a new institutional architecture, which will have to be determined on the basis of the will of Caledonian society in the foundation of a new social contract, which is necessary with a view to establishing a permanent constitutional status, whether within or outside the framework of the French Republic. In this context, it is now necessary to identify the elements of the methodology for shaping an optimal institutional framework in order to best respond to the specificities and expectations of Caledonian society. In that context, the use of benchmarks derived from comparative law appears to be relevant. However, the singularity of the Caledonian situation, a territory that is in the process of emancipation in which a diverse society lives, considerably limits the possibilities for comparison. Therefore, the question arises as to the use of references linked to constitutional transition processes. In other words, and for the purposes of determining an optimal method, can New Caledonia be considered to have entered a phase comparable to a constitutional transition? There is no doubt as to the transitional nature of the political and institutional situation in New Caledonia. It is based on a double temporal dialectic. On the one hand, New Caledonia has been in a transitional phase since 1988 and the signing of the Matignon-Oudinot Agreements, or even for a longer period, taking into account the number of successive transitional statutes in the 80s. On the other hand, at the end of the period of application of a political agreement concluded in 1998 ...

[ES] The growing interest in the study of the land architecture developed in Europe in the late 1970s, also spurred later in Spain. In line with the growing interest in these historic land structures, the number of restoration projects carried out in these buildings also increased. From the 1980s onwards, work on tapia architecture across the Iberian Peninsula has been on the rise, so these actions also have a certain route. This investigation analyses the interventions carried out in monumental buildings with a lid in Spain, financed by static funds, with the most frequent injuries, the intervention criteria adopted in each case, the construction techniques used and the results obtained. This research has been initiated in the framework of the project "Restoration of the Front Architecture in the Iberian Peninsula — Criteria, Techniques, Results and Outlook" (BIA2010-18921; principal investigator: Camilla Mileto) funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (2011-2013) and further developed under the research project funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation "The restoration and rehabilitation of traditional land architecture in the Iberian Peninsula.

The article investigates aspects of the complex symbolic construction of the figure of Madonna, at the f rontiera between two religious populations. The focus is on an area of contact between Christianity and Islam, materialised in the history of a major husband sanctuary of northern Af, the basilica of Nostra Signora d'Af rica in Algiers. This Catholic pilgrimage site also attracts Muslim faiths. Initially, these inter-religious demonstrations developed in the context of the colonial state of Francese, where a Christian minority dominated a large Muslim majority. Then, they continued after independence in 1962, although the construction of the post-colonial state was characterised by a strong push towards the homogenisation of the population from a religious point of view. The article shows a surprising stability of Nostra's mixed attendance at Lord d'Af rica for about 150 years, despite changing political, social and cultural contexts. In the sanctuary, the sharing of the same space by separate religious groups has also continued in temples of hatred and violence. This peaceful organisation of daily life in the sanctuary is embedded in a complex history of power relations and a network of often contradictory symbols and meanings. ; International audience The article investigates some aspects of the complex symbolic construction of the figure of the Madonna, at the border between two religious universes.

Summary As part of global efforts to reduce dependence on carbon‐based energy sources there has been a rapid increase in the installation of renewable energy devices. The installation and operation of these devices can result in conflicts with wildlife. In the marine environment, mammals may avoid wind farms that are under construction or operating. Such avoidance may lead to more time spent travelling or displacement from key habitats. A paucity of data on at‐sea movements of marine mammals around wind farms limits our understanding of the nature of their potential impacts.Here, we present the results of a telemetry study on harbour seals Phoca vitulina in The Wash, south‐east England, an area where wind farms are being constructed using impact pile driving. We investigated whether seals avoid wind farms during operation, construction in its entirety, or during piling activity. The study was carried out using historical telemetry data collected prior to any wind farm development and telemetry data collected in 2012 during the construction of one wind farm and the operation of another.Within an operational wind farm, there was a close‐to‐significant increase in seal usage compared to prior to wind farm development. However, the wind farm was at the edge of a large area of increased usage, so the presence of the wind farm was unlikely to be the cause.There was no significant displacement during construction as a whole. However, during piling, seal usage (abundance) was significantly reduced up to 25 km from the piling activity; within 25 km of the centre of the wind farm, there was a 19 to 83% (95% confidence intervals) decrease in usage compared to during breaks in piling, equating to a mean estimated displacement of 440 individuals. This amounts to significant displacement starting from predicted received levels of between 166 and 178 dB re 1 μPa(p‐p). Displacement was limited to piling activity; within 2 h of cessation of pile driving, seals were distributed as per the non‐piling scenario. Synthesis and ...

227 235 11 3 ; Senia ; During the period 1997-2007, it was produced in the Spanish Mediterranean coast a large urban sprawl. Partly caused by the increase in economic activity and population and partly caused by the increase of tourism on the coast. This expansion produced mass tourism processes at risk of landscape degradation phenomena and end of life cycle of tourism activities, following the guidelines known as the case of La Manga. This expansion also produced many urban develop initiatives, programmed and planned, which have not been implemented. In the case of Valencia, on the ground already developed but not yet consolidated the building, you can build up to 125,000 homes. From 2007, because of the huge excess of houses supply, construction and all the new developments in the Valencian coast are paralyzed. Paradoxically, the security crisis in the Arab Mediterranean countries, has resulted in the growth of tourism in the Spanish Mediterranean coast and particularly in Valencia. But this situation can be temporary. Therefore, at present, a change arises in the model of tourism in order to achieve a quality of landscape and tourism services and to avoid a mass tourism. At present, in 2015, regional government promotes a plan to identify and preserve the green infrastructure of the Valencian coast. It has approved a moratorium on new urban development across the coastal strip to a distance of 500 meters from the sea. This paper explains the approaches, objectives and expected results of this initiative. Miralles García, JL. (2016). Green Infrastructure in Mediterranean Valencian Coast.

The novel Der Vorleser (The reader) by Bernhard Schlink, published in 1995, introduces us into complex issues such as memory, autobiography limits and the past as a historical and disitaised construction. The novelty challenges the representation of Nazism by the generation to which the author belongs. Based on the tension between two conflicting images of the same character, Hanna, and the fictional use of the autobiography genus, different representations of the past, not only personal but also generational, are presented and questioned. This prioritises, in the complex apprehension of the past, doubt, questioning and certainty that there is no single truth.
