While the management of the frontier separating Gibraltar from Spain is frequently contested by the inhabitants and the tiny British Overseas Territory and stays at the core of a tense international dispute between the United Kingdom and Spain, this work subverts views of the border as a threat or an obstacle to the normalization of political life in the tiny (post)colonial enclave. Here, Gibraltar is analysed as a micro state whose inhabitants' identity and practices of self-government generate from the border – rather than in opposition to it. As such, we show how the tightening of the frontier allows the discursive production of a Gibraltarian national identity as distinct from that of the Spanish neighbours that is central to maintain British control on the enclave.

In a historical perspective, the stabilization policy regime in Sweden is in a state of constant change, affected by economic crises, international impulses, domestic politics, and developments in macroeconomic theory. Economists have been deeply involved in this process. The current framework for monetary and fiscal policy, with an independent central bank focusing on inflation targeting, and a rule-based fiscal policy, is not the final stage of this process. Future crises will once again change the goals, the instruments, and the institutional framework. In a historical perspective, the rapid expansion of the financial system, with the accompanying accumulation of private debt and high rates of asset inflation, stands out as a likely cause behind the next crisis. The next crisis will be followed by yet another step in the perennial pursuit of a better stabilization policy.

This study addresses the historical trajectory of karate, particularly in relation to the processes that favored its inclusion as one of the five modalities that will debut at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. The literature review was the methodology used in this research. Several attempts and efforts were identified to enable karate to join as a sport in the Olympic Games. It was concluded that the agents (federation leaders, presidents, coaches and athletes), along with institutions (clubs, companies, government, among others) were involved in a process that aimed to meet the requirements of the International Olympic Committee. Thus, it is possible to observe various transformations in the development of this modality that gave shape to what karate has today, which has made it a rookie modality being conditioned by market interests.

France's major role in shaping the history of international football – both via the performances of its national teams and its role in organizing the sport – is mirrored by its importance within the development of videogames. However, videogames – like sport – remain an understudied aspect of French culture with French studies. This article explores significant debates about the cultural capital of videogames in France that feature contrasting reactions such as skepticism and celebration. It argues that interactions between football and videogames are increasingly blurring the boundary between the sport of football and the world of videogames. The world of e-sports (professional videogaming) will be shown to be a domain where leading French football teams and politicians are particularly keen to harness the cultural, economic, and political importance of videogames.

This paper tries to unveil the different tribes of Odisha and their cultural significance. Synchronously attempts have been taken to unfurl the impacts of globalization, homogenization and so called politics on the indigenous culture, society, people and values. Especially, the impact of all these things on the tribal women and solutions of those problems are also given. The special qualities and specialties of the Adivasi people have been discussed here. Meticulously light has been thrown to the different tribes of Odisha.

International audience ; The issue of democracy in society is at the heart of our current concerns. The organizations and their information systems are also concerned by this issue. Democracy in organization requires a debate about norms, values and language encapsulated in the information systems. The participatory design approaches address this issue by proposing a democratic empowerment for users during design phase of projects. To go further, we propose a structured method to integrate democracy into information systems. This method named DEMOS for DEsign Method for democratic information System is described and then illustrated by a real experiment provided by a "lifelong training" service at the University. All aspects of the method are addressed: from elicitation phase to implementation. We particularly focus on techniques and tools used during the design phase.

European Union (EU)Horizon 2020 ; International audience ; The development of electric vehicles has been spectacular over the last 20 years, so the automotive industry has started to shift mass production of electrified vehicles. However, new electrified vehicles are required to face the needs of the users. Simulation is a key step for development of new vehicle. Organization tools, such as Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR), have therefore been developed to improve and speed-up the development of virtual electric vehicle models. The paper presents a comparison between functional and a structural representation on EV simulation under Simcenter Amesim. This paper studies the impact of the two representations on the simulation results and time. For this purpose, an EMR library for the Simcenter Amesim simulation tool has been developed.

International audience ; This study investigates the behavioral economic underpinnings of current policy approaches to integrate environmental objectives into the Common Agricultural Policy. We conduct an economic lab-in-the-field experiment with farmers in Germany. We analyze the impact of the following policy design features on farmers' decisions to adopt sustainable agricultural practices: (i) framing of the policy: whether farmers perceive themselves as being part of the problem or the solution, (ii) degree of control: mandatory vs. voluntary policy (iii) framing of incentives as either losses or gains. All policy designs tested result in a significant increase in hectares conserved compared to a baseline scenario without policy. Also behavioral factors do significantly affect farmers' behavior at the individual level. Only framing is found to significantly affect policy effectiveness.

International audience ; The Food Justice Movement is a grassroots initiative now reaching public, political and academic spheres. Our purpose in this article is to explore how do these organizations manage to solve the coexistence of food justice imperatives and economical ones in their business models. Thanks to a qualitative study, we propose and discuss a typology of business models for the food justice. ; Les questions de l'accès à l'alimentation de qualité pour tous et de justice alimentaire constituent un impératif d'action publique, politique et académique. L'objectif de notre contribution est d'explorer comment des organisations se saisissent des enjeux de justice alimentaire à travers leurs modèles d'affaires. À partir d'une enquête qualitative, nous proposons et discutons une typologie de modèles d'affaires favorisant la justice alimentaire.

International audience ; During his career as official at the Council of Basel, as secretary and later top diplomat at the Imperial Court, as papal envoy, as cardinal, and as pope, Enea Silvio Piccolomini / Pope Pius II gave a number of orations as well as responses to ambassadors which taken together document his literary and oratorical gifts and throw valuable light on the political and ecclesiastical processes of the second third of the 15th century. Today, 80 of his orations and diplomatic responses are known to be extant, in a quite considerable number of manuscripts kept in European libraries. Of these 50 were published collectively by G.D. Mansi in 1755-1759, the only previous comprehensive edition. In the present edition, nine of Pius' orations are published for the first time.

International audience ; The present paper investigates the effect of the revolution occurred in January 2011 in Egypt on the Preferences of Redistribution. This shock has been an important event enhancing the freedom situation and political structure. In a first step taking into account the main determinants explaining Preferences of Redistribution displayed in literature, our results differ showing a positive impact of the religion and a negative impact of the altruistic attitude. In a second step, we rely on a diff-in-diff approach to estimate the effect of the revolution using as control group three similar countries. We find that Egyptians became much more favorable to redistribution after the Arab Spring. Moreover, the revolution effect is stronger for the poorest people and those who are interested in politics.

RMN+ECI2D+LPI:DLA:CLO:CGE ; International audience ; The discovery of sulfur-resistant catalysts for selective ring opening (SRO) is an important challenge for refiners, considering the future legislation on cetane index of diesel fuels. In the present work, we studied the properties of RuS2 supported on several zeolites in gas-phase decalin hydroconversion at high hydrogen pressure (5 MPa) in the presence of 0.8% H2S concentration. Catalytic bifunctionality was investigated by changing the Ru loading or support acidity. The addition of RuS2 strongly improved catalytic activity of an HY zeolite, decreased coke deposition and dehydrogenation and increased selectivity towards RO products. The mechanism mainly proceeds from skeletal isomerization induced by the acidity of the zeolite but the hydrogen activation properties of RuS2 are beneficial to the activity and stability of the catalyst.

Part 8: Poster Papers ; International audience ; An essential way to lifelong learning in the modern information society is using ICT, geoinformation, and the concept of the so-called serious games, as well as gamification mechanisms. The "Smart City Alter Eco" game is a solution that not only facilitates social education for sustainable development but is also part of creating a so-called digital twin of a smart city. The authors propose an approach that enables creating a virtual model of a city, which reflects spatial, economic, social, and legal relations, as well as testing various versions of the city's development. The objective of the game is not as much creating an operative biogas plant but making it an attractive solution to the environmental, economic, and social problems of the town of Żuromin in central Poland.
