International audience ; "This touch is political". Psychoanalytic listening and situated knowledge. This article presents a discussion on the relevance of the notion of situated knowledge for psychoanalytic treatment. We reflect on the challenges of caring for patients looking for a "safe" practitioner and therefore on the importance of the political dimension in a certain type of treatment. A clinical case is examined as a point of reference to the theoretical discussion. ; Cet article présente une discussion sur la pertinence de la notion de savoirs situés pour la clinique psychanalytique. A partir d'une situation clinique, nous réfléchissons aux enjeux de la prise en charge des patients à la recherche d'un praticien "safe" (ou sûr) et par conséquent à l'importance de la dimension politique dans un certain type de cure contemporaine.

International audience ; This paper analyses promises made by companies to various publics, including global investors, national public administrative bodies, and local populations. We speak of 'promise engineering' to describe both the integration of the making of promises in mining exploration operations, and the attempted articulation of promises made to different publics with different concerns. We focus on the French 'mining revival', which prompted exploration projects that became controversial, and integrated a government-led approach meant to introduce an objective of 'responsibility' in mining operations. Mining junior companies attempted to make promises that were both technical and social, while responsibility proved consistent with the crucial role of financial investment. We show that promise engineering offers an analytical lens for studying anticipation practices in industrial projects and the opposition these projects face.

International audience ; Biological composites offer self-healing properties, biocompatibility, high responsivity to external stimuli, and multifunctionality, due, in part, to their complex, hierarchical microstructure. Such materials can be inexpensively grown, and self-assembled from the bottom up, enabling democratized, sustainable manufacturing routes for micro- and nano-devices. While biological composites have been shown to incorporate rich photonic structures, their phononic properties have hitherto remained unexplored. In this study, we demonstrate that biological composites in the form of micron-thick decellularized onion cell scaffolds behave as an organic phononic material, with the presence of band gaps forbidding the propagation of elastic waves in select frequency ranges. We show that the onion cells' phononic properties can be phenotypically tuned, and anticipate these findings will yield new biologically-derived, "green," and genetically tailorable phononic materials.

Ethiopia's National Meteorology Agency (NMA), under the support of the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), through the project Adapting Agriculture to Climate Today, for Tomorrow (ACToday), is working together with the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) in East Africa to address the needs and demands of different stakeholders including governmental, non-governmental organizations and other non-state actors by conducting staff training to improve the generation of reliable, timely and accurate weather and seasonal forecasts. An interactive training took place from January 11-15, 2021 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with the participation of 26 NMA staff members selected from Regional Meteorological Service Centers and from the NMA Head Office, using local capacity and technical support from IRI and CCAFS East Africa.

International audience ; The purpose of this research work is to propose a territorial resilience assessment methodology, based on Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. Mobilizing a multidisciplinary research approach that encourages interactions between the theoretical concepts and the field practices, we propose a framework of evaluation criteria illustrating the phenomenon of territorial resilience and enabling to observe how it manifests. This methodology is currently implemented at the scale of the French Grand Est-Lorraine Region through a specific case study: the DHDA project (supported by the French government through its program "Plan d'Investissement d'Avenir - Territoire d'Innovation". Through this case study, we aim to highlight a way to pilot territorial resilience at a local scale, by observing, analyzing and understanding field practices in real context.

International audience ; We study the effects of deliberation on epistemic social choice, in two settings. In the first setting, the group faces a binary epistemic decision analogous to the Condorcet Jury Theorem. In the second setting, group members have probabilistic beliefs arising from their private information, and the group wants to aggregate these beliefs in a way that makes optimal use of this information. During deliberation, each agent discloses private information to persuade the other agents of her current views. But her views may also evolve over time, as she learns from other agents. This process will improve the performance of the group, but only under certain conditions; these involve the nature of the social decision rule, the group size, and also the presence of "neutral agents" whom the other agents try to persuade.

The aim of this essay is to point out the challenges and opportunities of government export credits and insurance in Europe. The Covid-19 pandemic confronted the entire world with new challenges. This also applied to the export financing and insurance market. Furthermore, there are also challenges that play a major role for ECAs regardless of the pandemic. However, the risks are also offset by opportunities that may enable European export credit agencies to prevail against international competition. The focus of this essay is on the export credit agencies from Finland (Finnvera), Sweden (EKN) and Portugal (COSEC). As part of the European Union (EU) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) the three ECAs share many fundamental similarities but in some points they may also distinguish from each other.

Until their conceptual, systemic and substantive reform in the 1990s, preschool institutions in Slovenia were recognised predominantly as care institutions, on the one hand, and as "preparatory institutions" for school or pre-primary school, on the other. This paper presents an analysis of preschool education in Slovenia based on theoretical starting points, international comparative analyses of quality indicators for preschool education and curricular documents, as well as the results of Slovenian and foreign empirical research on early child development and learning. The analysis was conducted from the viewpoint of conceptual, systemic and curricular solutions. In particular, we emphasise the need to update the Curriculum for Preschool and resolve any professional dilemmas related to the efficiency and equity of preschool. In conclusion, we specifically highlight certain possibilities for improvements in Slovenian preschool education. (DIPF/Orig.)

International audience ; In the Manchu period, Mongol herders were attached to their 'banner'-the basic territorial, administrative and military unit of Qing Mongolia. Their circuits of nomadization were reduced, and they were fined when found to cross its frontiers. While princes, great reincarnate lamas and long-distance traders (as well as some marginal categories such as badarchi/itinerant lamas and bandits) had many opportunities to travel within Mongolia and even abroad, it is generally assumed that commoners had no choice but stay in their pastures. Yet they had a main reason for undertaking long-distance travel: pilgrimage. This paper investigates the various modes of travel of these pilgrims, their equipment, organization and funding, and highlights the importance of a mode of locomotion which is rarely seen in Mongolia nowadays: walking.

The phenomenon that has occurred recently with the many achievements by Indonesian students, especially in the academic field, such as the National or International Science Olympiad, does not necessarily balance children's competencies. There is a setback that is felt on emotional and spiritual intelligence, especially in terms of character. This problem makes the government formulate and implement character education as a solution to strengthen students' morality. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature review that focuses on the development of the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual quotient. The results of this study indicate that character education needs to be integrated with IESQ so that it can overcome morality and character problems to balance three aspects of student intelligence, namely affective, cognitive and psychomotor.

Based on a variety of sources, this article aims to investigate the character of Venetian rule over Dubrovnik in the first decades of the thirteenth century, drawing a parallel with the administrative models in other Venetian possessions. The abundance of documents related to the countship of Giovanni Dandolo (1209?-1235) allows the reconstruction of the count's family and social background, his earnings from the Ragusan function, as well as an insight into his business pursuits. In addition, some old approaches are reassessed and new interpretations of the Ragusan political situation of that time⸺impacted by international developments in the Adriatic, Mediterranean and the Ragusan hinterland⸺are offered. Analysed and interpreted are the first two pacts between Dubrovnik and Venice (1232, 1236), along with the reasons for their conclusion.

International audience ; Research providing an evidence-base for autistic adult services is sparse. The Autism Spectrum Disorders in the European Union (ASDEU) network implemented an on-line survey to determine gaps in autistic adult diagnostic evaluation and postdiagnostic support services. More than 55% in all groups experienced most of the recommended features for diagnostic evaluation for autistic adults. In contrast, < 2% of adults or carers, and < 21% of professionals experienced each of the recommended features for post-diagnostic support. In contrast to 61% of professionals, only about 30% of autistic adults and carers had knowledge of good local services models for autism diagnosis in adulthood. There are major differences between good practice guidelines for diagnostic and post-diagnostic care for autistic adults, and what is actually experienced by services users and professionals.

International audience ; Several types of antibodies (Abs) are currently used in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Anti-angiogenic and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) Abs are the most frequent treatments used alone or with chemotherapy in metastatic NSCLC, for the front line and beyond. Considering the many therapeutic options for locally advanced and metastatic lung cancer and differences in use according to geographic area, we present here a comprehensive review of the marketed ICI and anti-angiogenic Abs approved in the European Union (EU) and the US to treat locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC patients. We briefly describe the different molecules and their development in thoracic oncology and compare pharmacokinetic data, processing decision algorithms and marketing authorizations by the EMA and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

International audience ; This article focuses on issues of land tenure to retrace the history of how Hawai'i's Mauna Kea volcano was 'discovered' by and for astronomers. In the aftermath of Hawai'i's 1959 accession to US statehood, an inhospitable tract of land was suddenly heralded as being 'probably the best site in the world' for the observation of the Moon, planets and stars. Political and academic institutions moved decisively to secure exclusive rights over the land and started to market it to off-island scientists. In the mid-1970s, a first major project, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, caused intense pushback from environmental activists and recreational users of the mountain. With the rebirth of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, the tension surrounding astronomical facilities on Mauna Kea only increased, foreshadowing the conflicts to come.
