Abstract:
AbstractDuring the Paris Commune of 1871, four spectacular concerts took place at the Tuileries Palace. Although the musical genre most often associated with the Communards is popular song, these Tuileries concerts primarily featured instrumental works and operatic numbers. Indeed, during much of their short reign the Communards sought to nurture elite music, in particular through attempts to control the Paris Opéra and its repertory. This article treats the Tuileries concerts as a starting point for understanding the Commune's brief direction of the Opéra, exploring ways in which the movement's attitude towards elite music at both venues engaged with a number of its central preoccupations. It suggests that Communards, often depicted as merely destructive, were anxious to rehabilitate their reputation and legitimise their status through the appropriation of high culture.

Abstract:
O artigo visa apresentar e destacar aspectos essenciais das palestras que Marcuse fez em Paris em 1974. Essas palestras contribuem para o entendimento da preocupação de Marcuse com o processo de contrarrevolução e mostram sua antecipação sobre determinados fenômenos que estavam em seu início: a terceirização, a globalização, o neoliberalismo. Marcuse já havia elaborado sua perspectiva crítica ao desenvolvimento do capitalismo tardio em O homem unidimensional (1964). E continua a utilizar seu instrumental crítico em sua análise dez anos depois.

Abstract:
Past optical astrometric observations are to be re-reduced in order to get a new evaluation of the Earth Orientation Parameters in the more accurate Hipparcos reference frame. Among the selected instruments is the Paris astrolabe, considered here. In this Paper, through multivariate statistical procedures, we deal with the preliminary step of the new evaluation which consists in detection and separation of sources of significant inconsistency and outstanding errors in the Paris reductions so far performed. The analysis is performed over two test periods — one per instrumental setting-that are compared in particular in terms of observer effects, magnitude, colour and sidereal time effects. The Paper also gives a synthetic overview on the statistical methods we used to obtain the main results so that they can be applied to other astrometric data.

Abstract:
Kelompok waria masih menjadi sorotan yang menarik untuk diteliti. Tulisan ini menguraikan tentang kelompok waria sebagai kelompok marginal, yang sulit untuk bertahan di tengah masyarakat dengan kesulitan dan tekanan yang mereka hadapi. Para waria tergabung dalam komunitas waria di kota Banjarmasin, berbeda dengan komunitas lain pada umumnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tindakan waria bergabung dalam komunitas waria Paris Barantai Banjarmasin dan bentuk solidaritasnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tindakan bergabung waria dalam komunitas Paris Barantai adalah tindakan rasionalitas instrumental, tindakan dilakukan dipertimbangkan dengan sadar untuk mencapai tujuan. Tujuan untuk menjadi waria yang baik dan dapat merubah citra waria. Waria memiliki motivasi dalam bertindak untuk memenuhi kebutuhan yang belum terpenuhi, yaitu rasa aman, cinta kasih, memiliki dan dimiliki, penghargaan, aktualisasi diri dan indentitas diri. Menjadi bagian komunitas waria mendapatkan manfaat yaitu mengembangkan diri, mendapat pengetahuan,merubah citra waria, menjadi waria berkualitas, mendapat lapangan pekerjaan, dan mendapatkan keluarga baru. Bentuk solidaritas komunitas waria yaitu solidaritas mekanik. Bentuk solidaritas mekanik dikomunitas ini karena kesadaran kolektif dan kesamaan. Kesamaan untuk menjadi waria yang lebih baik dan merubah citra waria, menginginkan kehidupan yang lebih baik dan normal, sama minat untuk mengekspresikan diri sebagai wanita, dan memiliki keadaan yang sulit, dan nasib yang tidak bebas untuk melakukan segala hal. Waria selalu memelihara solidaritas dengan kegiatan rutin dan tidak rutin yang mereka lakukan.

Abstract:
Broad-band observations of the solar photosphere began in Meudon in 1875 under the auspices of Jules Janssen. For his part, Henri Deslandres initiated imaging spectroscopy in 1892 at Paris observatory. He invented, concurrently with George Hale in Kenwood (USA), but quite independently, the spectroheliograph designed for monochromatic imagery of the solar atmosphere. Deslandres developed two kinds of spectrographs: the ‘ spectrohéliographe des formes’, that is, the narrow bandpass instrument to reveal chromospheric structures; and the ‘ spectrohéliographe des vitesses’, that is, the section spectroheliograph to record line profiles of cross sections of the Sun. This second apparatus was intended to measure the Dopplershifts of dynamic features. Deslandres moved to Meudon in 1898 to build the large quadruple spectroheliograph. The service of Hα and CaII K systematic observations was organized by Lucien d’Azambuja and continues today. The digital technology was introduced in 2002. The collection is one of the longest available: it contains sporadic images from 1893 to 1907 (during the development phase) and systematic observations along 10 solar cycles since 1908. This paper summarizes 130 years of observations, instrumental research and technical advances.

Abstract:
Abstract In Western art music, the idea of the professional performer as a versatile interpreter of someone else’s music consolidated around the turn of the nineteenth century. The institutionalization of instrumental training in dedicated schools (such as the Paris Conservatoire, established in 1795) favoured an increasing specialization of composers and performers in their respective tasks. Scholars have often traced the development of these modern professional identities to fundamental innovations in the fabric and conceptions of musical notation. The newly detailed scores by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven specify articulation, phrasing, and even fingerings, suggesting a growing authority of the composer over the performer’s moves, and the score itself as an increasingly important focus of the musical event (scripting both what performers should do and what listeners, ideally, should discern). Rather than focusing on how music was notated by composers, this article proposes to explore the perspective of the performers handling it: how they understood their role in bringing the score to life, and the realms of commentary they inspired in Parisian debates about the progress of the art and the mechanization of performance in the early nineteenth century. At the core of the Paris Conservatoire’s universal pedagogical project, the violinist Pierre Baillot (1771–1842) devised a prototype professional figure for the future of instrumental performance across genres: not a puppet-musician controlled via invisible strings, but an architect of musical impersonations, able to stimulate images or stories in the listeners’ minds and leave them theatrically spellbound.

Abstract:
The article summarises French Ministry of Education guidelines for music education and describes examples of actual practice. Mention is also made of Ministry of Culture provision for music education. An attempt is made to reflect current concerns among French music educators. Among issues raised are the nature of musical ability; what counts as music; questions of access and democratisation; and the relationship between classroom music and specialist instrumental tuition. The article is based on material gathered during a study visit to schools and colleges in Paris, and correspondence with teachers, advisers, and inspectors throughout France.

Abstract:
Abstract This longitudinal mixed methods study followed 16 U.S.-affiliated learners of French in Paris. After merging monthly social network and weekly smartphone usage reports, K-means clusters analysis revealed significant differences between (1) learners displaying attachment to versus detachment from their friends and family at home, and (2) smartphone usage profiles – spectators versus communicators and explorers. Triangulation with pre-/during-/post-study abroad in-depth interviews allowed identification of what was most instrumental for participants’ interactions in the target language and intercultural gains: geolocation applications on their phones and living with host families. The electronic umbilical cord hypothesized to exist for those displaying attachment was in fact not a detrimental force – quite the opposite. Instead, the way participants had (detrimentally) taken their home with them to Paris was by being visited by friends and family, by often interacting with U.S. students on site, and by frequently consuming English-speaking audiovisual content on their phones.

African Journal of Politics and Administrative Studies 16, no. 1 (June 1, 2023): 111–34. http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ajpas.v16i1.7.
Abstract:
Since the wake of the Westphalia Peace (or Treaty) in 1648, the idea of treaty has become handy and instrumental to the conditioning of the globe and maintenance of peace in the international arena. One of such treaties is the Paris Climate Agreement entered by states to forestall global warming and other climatic issues. It is however, problematic to note that states now willingly opt out of agreements entered in the international arena. This study sets out to interrogate why states denounce treaties, focusing on President Donald Trump’s choice to pull US out of Paris Climate Agreement. The study is anchored on the theory of Rational Actor Model, causal research design, documentary method of data collection, and content analytical method of data inquiry and analysis. The study argued that the concern of reduced economic competitiveness, conditional commitments, and nationalistic thinking are to be considered as US reasons for Paris Climate Treaty denunciation. The study deciphered that US’ choice to pull out of the Paris Climate agreement under Donald Trump’s presidency is not unconnected to Trump’s rationalistic choice or idea to put US first and make her great through nationalistic economic policies devoid of global influences, and global economic bazar, which he saw as wasteful venture. The study recommended that humanity needs all hands (states) on deck to combat the common enemy of global warming occasioned by climate change. Hence, the treaty through a more accommodating and friendly protocol should be sustained by all parties.

Abstract:
A presente pesquisa analisa o sentido da intolerância religiosa a partir de estudos sobre o atentado ao Semanário Charlie Hebdo, ocorrido em janeiro de 2015, na cidade de Paris. As fontes investigadas foram as narrativas de estudantes de uma Escola da Secretaria Municipal de Educação em Goiânia, coletadas entre 2015 e 2017, por meio de instrumental de investigação, que teve como objetivo indagar a postura, contrária e favorável, dos estudantes aos terroristas ou aos cartunistas. O aporte teórico desenvolvido pela educação histórica possibilitou fazer intervenções para o aprofundamento de estudos sobre intolerância. Após as intervenções, aplicamos o instrumental de investigação pela segunda vez, a fim de verificarmos se houve alterações nas aprendizagens. Identificamos pouco avanço em relação à postura dos estudantes sobre a liberdade de expressão de religiosos e não religiosos. Fizemos uma terceira intervenção, com questões relacionadas ao motivo das charges serem ofensivas à religião Islâmica e a explicação sobre o que é intolerância religiosa na atualidade. Percebemos nessas narrativas a existência de alterações; alguns estudantes demonstraram mudança na consciência histórica para uma orientação crítica e genética.

Abstract:
Marginal elements within manuscripts, especially when unsystematic, disorganised, and heterogenous, are often ignored by scholars who intentionally decide to prioritise the centre over the margins. Accordingly, the lion’s share of printed and online catalogues addresses the margins en passant. But to what extent is this approach fruitful to a comprehensive study of manuscripts? By focusing exclusively on margins, this article proposes to demonstrate that marginal annotations are instrumental in providing an exhaustive study of manuscripts in terms of historical reconstruction, and with regard to the annotators’ life, interests, and expertise. The interdisciplinarity of the study of margins stands out inasmuch as it mixes first-hand palaeographical and codicological examinations with a scrutinization of the sources. Specifically, the history of Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Arabe 2967 will be unveiled with regard to the major events and people connected to it.

Abstract:
Positional observations of the Sun have become, in recent years, one of the most important contribution of astrolabes to fundamental astrometry. After pioneer observations at CERGA and Sao Paulo, both in 1974, other astrolabes have been adapted for observations of the Sun in Paris (now at Malatya, Turkey), Santiago de Chile (Chollet & Noël 1993) and San-Fernando (Sánchez et al. 1993, 1995). First experimental campaign of solar observations with an astrolabe installed at Simeiz Observatory (Crimea, Ukraine) has been undertaken in 1986 (Kolesnik 1987). After some instrumental improvements, observations covering about 2.5–3 months were continued in 1987, 1990, 1991. The results are reported here.

Abstract:
Abstract This article discusses recent developments in international climate change law, in respect of which Pacific island countries and territories (PICs) have made a particularly significant contribution. PICs have been instrumental in shaping the international climate change treaty regime since its inception in the early 1990s. Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, however, progress has stalled – and even more so since the global pandemic. With a focus on the Suva Declaration on Climate Change released prior to negotiations in Paris, this article assesses progress in two areas that have received considerable attention from PIC representatives due to their importance to the region: the long-term temperature goal and the Talanoa Dialogue; and the issue of loss and damage. While PICs have managed to make gains in both areas, climate change science indicates that current global efforts are insufficient to avoid catastrophic climate change impacts for the Pacific region. In light of this, certain PIC leaders are looking outside of the international treaty system for other ways to protect their communities and ecosystems.

Abstract:
The object of the study was the origins and initial period of the formation of bassoon classes at the Paris Conservatory. The author analyzed the early stages of the training process involved in the French bassoon school. The role of maîtrise and military bands in the instruction of bassoon performers before the beginning of the revolutionary events in 1789 was revealed. The study exposed the influence of the church music-educational system on the professionalization of secular instrumental and vocal performance, as well as its importance in the creative development of prominent French bassoonists who were formed in the second half of the 18th and early 19th centuries. The author investigated the essence of the ideological and political factors of the French Revolution in the creation of a new democratic system that began to exist in professional musical education, which guaranteed its accessibility to the general population and free education on a competitive basis. The article provides a chronology of the beginning and development of bassoon classes on the path of professionalization of performance on wind instruments at the National Guard Music School, the National Institute of Music and the Paris Conservatory. The peculiarities of the implementation of the competitive system of professional training of instrumentalists, as well as the formation of didactic materials to ensure the educational process at the Paris Conservatory became the basis for further artistic education. This fact was carefully analyzed and became the basis for the conclusions of the article. The innovative guide of E. Ozi "School of Playing the Bassoon", was regarded as one of the first complete instructional materials for the bassoon. It was officially approved as a study guide for mastering the instrument, became a powerful impetus for the development of the conservatory students’ performance skills. The author emphasized and defined the role of E. Ozi in the creation of bassoon classes at the Paris Conservatory, as well as in the founding of the French performing school. It has been proven that an important factor in the development of French bassoon performance in the second half of the 18th century was the inclusion of the bassoon in the training programs of metris and its use in church ensembles to accompany choral singing during divine services

Abstract:
In German speaking countries Haydn’s oratorios, and particularly TheCreation , have played an important role in the repertoire of choral societies and music festivals since the 1810s. However, in France, and also in Paris — “the capital of the 19th century” —, Haydn’s oratorios were performed only on rare occasions, and then they were given mostly in parts. The reasons for these circumstances can be seen in the institutional and esthetical context of the Parisian concert life. With respect to professional concert societies, like the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire , rigid obstacles were on the one hand the enormous financial risk of a complete oratorio performance. On the other hand the established type of concert programmes with its varied mixture of vocal and instrumental pieces functioned as a barrier. Most important was a lack of mixed amateur choral societies, which developed in Paris quite late, primary in the 1840s, and then only little by little. Since oratorio performances lasted to be mostly a private affaire in the first half of the 19th century, it is not surprising, that Haydn’s oratorios were studied in aristocratic salons of Princesse de Belgiojoso and Baron Delmar with the intention of both education and entertainment.

Abstract:
We present the observing program proposed by Paris and Côte d’Azur Observatories for monitoring solar activity during the upcoming cycle 25 and providing near real time images and movies of the chromosphere for space-weather research and applications. Two optical instruments are fully dedicated to this task and we summarize their capabilities. Short-term and fast-cadence observations of the chromosphere will be performed automatically at Calern observatory (Côte d’Azur), where dynamic events, as flare development, Moreton waves, filament instabilities and Coronal Mass Ejections onset, will be tracked. This new set of telescopes will operate in 2021 with narrow bandpass filters selecting Hα and CaII K lines. We present the instrumental design and a simulation of future images. At Meudon, the Spectroheliograph is well adapted to the long-term and low-cadence survey of chromospheric activity by recently improved and optimized spectroscopic means. Surface scans deliver daily (x, y, λ) datacubes of Hα, CaII K and CaII H line profiles. We describe the nature of available data and emphasize the new calibration method of spectra.

Abstract:
In recent years the oil industry has shifted from climate change denialism to advocacy of the Paris Agreement, championing sustainability in an apparent assertion (rather than rejection) of corporate responsibility. Meanwhile growth forecasts continue unabated to finance the industry’s enthusiasm for upstream ventures in uncharted territories. How do extractive companies, and those who work in them, square this contradiction? Fieldwork among oil company executives points to a new wave of techno-optimism: a deus ex machina that will descend from the labs of corporate research and development (R&D) labs to reconcile these irreconcilable imperatives. Rather than denial, the projection of win-win synergies between growth and sustainability involves a suspension of disbelief; an instrumental faith in the miraculous power of technology that tenders salvation without forsaking fossil fuels, or restructuring markets.

Abstract:
O artigo pretende examinar a figura do “exilado” e suas respectivas contribuições para o ofício de historiador no regime de historicidade da modernidade. Para tanto, primeiramente e a partir das abordagens de Charles Baudelaire e da Paris do século XIX feitas por Walter Benjamin, serão analisadas as qualidades desse tempo histórico e os desafios que ele traz para a historiografia. Em um segundo momento, recuará e perceberá a categoria do “exílio” como inerente aos processos políticos e culturais do Atlântico Negro, bem como às perspectivas e às narrativas distintivas produzidas pela diáspora negra em seu trânsito pela modernidade-colonialidade. Espera-se, assim, que a exploração da ideia de “exílio”, ancorada nas experiências de negros e negras no mundo atlântico, forneça um arcabouço instrumental para se pensar a história e o historiador na contemporaneidade.

Abstract:
Abstract Léon Busy (1874–1951) was an amateur photographer mostly known for his autochromes made in French Indochina for Albert Kahn’s multimedia collection “Les Archives de la planète” (Archives of the Planet). In addition to being an operator for Kahn, this article casts light on a less studied part of Busy’s life: his engagement with the French government of Indochina as of 1921. He exhibited his autochromes at the colonial exhibitions in Marseille (1922) and Paris (1931) and also served as head of the photographic section of the Office indochinois du Tourisme et de la Propagande (Indo-Chinese office of tourism and propaganda). This article provides an insight into my current research project and intends to demonstrate Busy’s instrumental role in producing colonial propaganda in color for the French government.

Abstract:
During the Liberation of Toulouse, crowd photography dominated the local press rather than the scenes of combat and barricades that marked coverage in Paris and elsewhere. This article shows how crowd photography contributed to a common construction of republicanism across the Toulouse press and exhibitions. It argues that the circulation of these images not only communicated the message that the “people” were once again sovereign, but also implied that these populations had been instrumental in their liberation, thereby contributing to the mythology of “la France résistante.” Editors mobilized crowd photography to convey to viewers the importance of adopting their republican roles at a time of community reconstruction. Reading the photography of the Liberation of Toulouse reveals that while photographic messaging in Liberation France varied in line with local circumstances, it nonetheless played a potent role in contributing to democratic resurgence.

"Two years of volatile organic compound online in situ measurements at the Site Instrumental de Recherche par Télédétection Atmosphérique (Paris region, France) using proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry." Earth System Science Data 15, no. 5 (May 15, 2023): 1947–68. http://dx.doi.org/10.5194/essd-15-1947-2023.
Abstract:
Abstract. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have direct influences on air quality and climate. They indeed play a key role in atmospheric chemistry as precursors of secondary pollutants, such as ozone (O3) and secondary organic aerosols (SOA). In this respect, long-term datasets of in situ atmospheric measurements are crucial for characterizing the variability of atmospheric chemical composition, its sources, and trends. The ongoing establishment of the Aerosols, Cloud, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure (ACTRIS) allows implementation of the collection and provision of such high-quality datasets. In this context, online and continuous measurements of O3, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and aerosols have been carried out since 2012 at the SIRTA (Site Instrumental de Recherche par Télédétection Atmosphérique) observatory, located in the Paris region, France. Within the last decade, VOC measurements were conducted offline at SIRTA, until the implementation of real-time monitoring which started in January 2020 using a proton-transfer-reaction quadrupole mass spectrometer (PTR-Q-MS). The dataset acquired during the first 2 years of online VOC measurements provides insights into their seasonal and diurnal variabilities. The additional long-term datasets obtained from co-located measurements (NOx, aerosol physical and chemical properties, meteorological parameters) are used to better characterize the atmospheric conditions and to further interpret the obtained results. Results also include insights into VOC main sources and the influence of meteorological conditions and air mass origin on their levels in the Paris region. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the year 2020 notably saw a quasi-total lockdown in France in spring and a lighter one in autumn. Therefore, the focus is placed on the impact of these lockdowns on the VOC variability and sources. A change in the behaviour of VOC markers for anthropogenic sources was observed during the first lockdown, reflecting a change in human activities. A comparison with gas chromatography data from the Paris city centre consolidates the regional representativity of the SIRTA station for benzene, while differences are observed for shorter-lived compounds with a notable impact of their local sources. This dataset could be further used as input for atmospheric models and can be found at https://doi.org/10.14768/f8c46735-e6c3-45e2-8f6f-26c6d67c4723 (Simon et al., 2022a).

Abstract:
Abstract. In December 2015, 195 countries agreed in Paris to “hold the increase in global mean surface temperature (GMST) well below 2.0 ∘C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 ∘C”. Since large financial flows will be needed to keep GMSTs below these targets, it is important to know how GMST has progressed since pre-industrial times. However, the Paris Agreement is not conclusive as regards methods to calculate it. Should trend progression be deduced from GCM simulations or from instrumental records by (statistical) trend methods? Which simulations or GMST datasets should be chosen, and which trend models? What is “pre-industrial” and, finally, are the Paris targets formulated for total warming, originating from both natural and anthropogenic forcing, or do they refer to anthropogenic warming only? To find answers to these questions we performed an uncertainty and sensitivity analysis where datasets and model choices have been varied. For all cases we evaluated trend progression along with uncertainty information. To do so, we analysed four trend approaches and applied these to the five leading observational GMST products. We find GMST progression to be largely independent of various trend model approaches. However, GMST progression is significantly influenced by the choice of GMST datasets. Uncertainties due to natural variability are largest in size. As a parallel path, we calculated GMST progression from an ensemble of 42 GCM simulations. Mean progression derived from GCM-based GMSTs appears to lie in the range of trend–dataset combinations. A difference between both approaches appears to be the width of uncertainty bands: GCM simulations show a much wider spread. Finally, we discuss various choices for pre-industrial baselines and the role of warming definitions. Based on these findings we propose an estimate for signal progression in GMSTs since pre-industrial.

Abstract:
Founded in Paris in October 1973, the feminist collective “Musidora,” which was named for the actress, director, screenwriter, and film critic Jeanne Roques, also known as Musidora, was instrumental in generating new interest in women’s film history. This essay examines the collective Musidora’s speculative approaches to the first woman filmmaker, Alice Guy Blaché, by way of Nicole-Lise Bernheim’s short film Qui est Alice Guy? (Who Is Alice Guy?, 1976). Its focus lies in particular in how the members of the Musidora collective, which often represented Guy Blaché in their image, as a strong independent woman struggling to be recognized as a filmmaker in France, transformed Guy Blaché into a feminist figure of French film history through speculative means. In doing so, the collective Musidora reveals not our limited knowledge of the past, but rather the possibilities of changing the present through both historiographical and fictional means.

Abstract:
Charles Baudelaire employs the notion of flaneur as an idle wanderer and a passionate observer of the city life in the context of nineteenth-century Paris. Walter Benjamin in the twentieth century revisits the same notion in a slightly different manner. For Benjamin, flaneur, on the one hand, can be overwhelmed by the phantasmagoria of the city life and can develop a ‘shock experience' and on the other hand, can respond to the stimuli of the urban ambiance and can exhibit instrumental means of thinking to cope with the altered environment. In this circumstance, the latter, as Benjamin argues, is also evocative of the prospect of the flaneur’s conversion into a commodity. Following the argument of Walter Benjamin, the present paper aims to analyze the mobility and transformation of the central character, Christopher, in Julian Barnes’s novel Metroland (1980). This paper also reinforces that the character’s transformation is influenced by the societal structures as propounded by the structural Marxists like Louis Althusser.

Abstract:
The state of international security in the modern world directly depends on the security of cyberspace. The authors of the paper explore cybersecurity initiatives, considering their most significant legal and political aspects. The paper contains a scientific and expert assessment of the document adopted on November 12, 2018 the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace. Given that Russia leads in initiatives in international formats for discussing cybersecurity issues, the authors of the paper turn to the Russian position on a number of key issues within this framework, indicating that the proposals of the Russian side are ahead of many other international initiatives, in particular in terms of their regulatory potential.The authors conclude that confidence-building measures between states in the absence of binding international legal norms are deprived of an instrumental role in resolving many security problems in rapidly changing cyberspace. A prerequisite for effective international law-making in the field of information security is a dialogue between lawyers, politicians and technical experts.

Abstract:
This research work aims to establish a link between IPR and human rights in the national and international perspectives. Furthermore, lack of implementation of legislations at the national level is one of the greatest setbacks in the history of human rights protection. Basically, the value of human rights is largely tested by it’s implementation. The earlier form of Industrial property underwent transformation after the Paris Convention to be nomenclature as Intellectual property. IPRs, such as patents, plant variety protection, copyrights, and trademarks, are exclusive monopoly rights over a creation that the society provides to the inventor for a period of time. While such monopoly protection obviously restricts the dissemination of knowledge, it is supposed to be counterbalanced by the incentive that it provides to innovate. Intrinsic, natural, interrelated, indivisible, inalienable, basic, instrumental and inherent rights are ought to be protected if required, for maintaining peace in the society. Imperialism, colonialism and inequalities among the states were some reasons of concern for the development of human rights.

Abstract:
Abstract. This paper presents a precipitation reconstruction that is based on the continuous observations by Louis Morin in Paris from 1665–1713. Morin usually recorded precipitation intensity and duration three times each day (sometimes up to six times) when it snowed or rained. The continuity of his observations can be calculated considering all measurements and observations (e.g., temperature, cloud cover), where on 98.7 % of all days between February 1665 and July 1713 at least one entry per day is noted. To convert these observations to common units, we calibrated them with a multiplicative interacting model using Philippe and Gabriele-Philippe de la Hire's instrumental measurements from Paris. The two series of measurements by de la Hire (father and son) and observations by Morin overlap from 1688–1713. To test the quality of the reconstruction, we analyzed it with the de la Hire's measurements, proxy data, an internal analysis of Morin's measurements of different climate variables, and modern data. Thus, we assess the reliability of the precipitation reconstructions based on Morin's data as follows. We have moderate confidence regarding the exact quantities of daily, seasonal, and annual precipitation totals. We have low confidence regarding exceptionally high precipitation amounts, but we have high confidence in the indices of an impact analysis (i.e., dry days, wet days, consecutive dry days, consecutive wet days); in monthly frequencies of rainfall; and in interannual, interseasonal, and interdecadal variability. Rainy seasons with precipitation totals greater than 250 mm occurred in MAM 1682, JJA 1682, SON 1687, JJA 1697, and JJA 1703. Furthermore, compared to other DJF seasons, the winter of 1666/1667 slightly stands out with a precipitation total of 214.6 mm. Dry seasons with precipitation totals less than 60 mm occurred in SON 1669, DJF 1671/1672, and DJF 1690/1691. An impact analysis shows no abnormalities regarding consecutive dry days or wet days in MAM. In JJA a longer dry period of 31 days appeared in 1686 and a dry period of 69 d appeared in DJF 1671/1672.

Abstract:
Понятие «мультимедиа» в настоящее время весьма широко используется в образовании, науке, искусстве, рекламе; в сфере музыки — в клипах развлекательных жанров. Задача статьи — очертить круг явлений мультимедиа в творчестве композитора академической традиции — И. Л. Кефалиди. Наиболее типична для данного автора трехкомпонентность: электронные звуки, звучание акустических инструментов и видеоряд — в частности, в его лучших сочинениях «TapeEхt», «S_S_S». Кроме того, имеются произведения, включающие: инструментальный театр — электроника, ударные инструменты, театральные движения, видео («Percato molto»); танец — электроника, танец, ударные, видео («Sophisteia»); партию вокала — электроника, человеческий голос, духовые, видео («…so und auch so…»); использование лазерных лучей («Feu le fol, eh!»). У других авторов композитор отмечает мультимедиа без электроники: инструментальный ансамбль и видео (Ф. Парис). В качестве показательного примера в статье разбирается сочинение «S_S_S», созданное в сотрудничестве с художником Э. Квинном. At the present time the concept of “multimedia” is quite widespread and is used in education, science, art and advertisement; in the sphere of music it is used in clips of entertainment genres. The aim of the article is to trace the circle of phenomena of multimedia in the works of a composer of the academic tradition – Igor Kefalidi. Most typical for this composer is the following triad of components: electronic sounds, the sounding of acoustic instruments and video footage, in particular, in his best compositions – “TapeEхt” and “S_S_S”. In addition, the composer has written compositions, which include: instrumental theater – electronics, percussion instruments, theatrical motions and video (“Percato molto”); dance – electronics, dance, percussion and video (“Sophisteia”); vocals – electronics, human voice, wind instruments and video (“…so und auch so…”); employment of laser beams (“Feu le fol, eh!”). The author knows multimedia works by other composers without electronics: instrumental ensemble and video (Francois Paris). As a representative example, the article examines the composition “S_S_S”, created with the assistance of artist Andrew Quinn.

Abstract:
Abstract. The development of ground-based cloud radars offers a new capability to continuously monitor fog structure. Retrievals of fog microphysics are key for future process studies, data assimilation, or model evaluation and can be performed using a variational method. Both the one-dimensional variational retrieval method (1D-Var) or direct 3D/4D-Var data assimilation techniques rely on the combination of cloud radar measurements and a background profile weighted by their corresponding uncertainties to obtain the optimal solution for the atmospheric state. In order to prepare for the use of ground-based cloud radar measurements for future applications based on variational approaches, the different sources of uncertainty due to instrumental, background, and forward operator errors need to be properly treated and accounted for. This paper aims at preparing 1D-Var retrievals by analysing the errors associated with a background profile and a forward operator during fog conditions. For this, the background was provided by a high-resolution numerical weather prediction model and the forward operator by a radar simulator. Firstly, an instrumental dataset was taken from the SIRTA observatory near Paris, France, for winter 2018–2019 during which 31 fog events were observed. Statistics were calculated comparing cloud radar observations to those simulated. It was found that the accuracy of simulations could be drastically improved by correcting for significant spatio-temporal background errors. This was achieved by implementing a most resembling profile method in which an optimal model background profile is selected from a domain and time window around the observation location and time. After selecting the background profiles with the best agreement with the observations, the standard deviation of innovations (observations–simulations) was found to decrease significantly. Moreover, innovation statistics were found to satisfy the conditions needed for future 1D-Var retrievals (un-biased and normally distributed).

Abstract:
Abstract. The 2006 Canadian Arctic ACE (Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment) Validation Campaign collected measurements at the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL, 86.42° W, 80.05° N, 610 m a.s.l.) at Eureka, Canada from 17 February to 31 March 2006. Two of the ten instruments involved in the campaign, both Fourier transform spectrometers (FTSs), were operated simultaneously, recording atmospheric solar absorption spectra. The first instrument was an ABB Bomem DA8 high-resolution infrared FTS. The second instrument was the Portable Atmospheric Research Interferometric Spectrometer for the Infrared (PARIS-IR), the ground-based version of the satellite-borne FTS on the ACE satellite (ACE-FTS). From the measurements collected by these two ground-based instruments, total column densities of seven stratospheric trace gases (O3, HCl, ClONO2, HF, HNO3, NO2, and NO) were retrieved using the optimal estimation method and these results were compared. Since the two instruments sampled the same portions of atmosphere by synchronizing observations during the campaign and used consistent retrieval parameters, the biases in retrieved columns from the two spectrometers represent the instrumental differences. Mean differences in total column densities of O3, HCl, ClONO2, HF, HNO3, and NO2 from the observations between PARIS-IR and the DA8 FTS are 2.8 %, −3.2 %, −4.3 %, −1.5 %, −1.9 %, and −0.1 %, respectively. Partial column results from the ground-based spectrometers were also compared with partial columns derived from ACE-FTS version 2.2 (including updates for O3) profiles. Mean differences in partial column densities of O3, HCl, ClONO2, HF, HNO3, NO2, and NO from the measurements between ACE-FTS and the DA8 FTS are −5.9 %, −8.5 %, −11.8 %, −0.9 %, −6.6 %, −21.6 % and −7.6 % respectively. Mean differences in partial column densities of O3, HCl, ClONO2, HF, HNO3, NO2 from the measurements between ACE-FTS and the PARIS-IR are −5.2 %, −4.6 %, −2.3 %, −4.7 %, 5.7 % and −11.9 %, respectively. This work provides further evidence of the reliability of ACE-FTS measurements from the first three years of on-orbit observations. Column densities of O3, HCl, ClONO2, and HNO3 from the three FTSs were normalized with respect to HF and used to compare the time evolution of the chemical constituents in the atmosphere over Eureka during spring 2006.

Abstract:
We evaluated the cognitive status of visually impaired patients referred to low vision rehabilitation (LVR) based on a standard cognitive battery and a new evaluation tool, named the COGEVIS, which can be used to assess patients with severe visual deficits. We studied patients aged 60 and above, referred to the LVR Hospital in Paris. Neurological and cognitive evaluations were performed in an expert memory center. Thirty-eight individuals, 17 women and 21 men with a mean age of 70.3 ± 1.3 years and a mean visual acuity of 0.12 ± 0.02, were recruited over a one-year period. Sixty-three percent of participants had normal cognitive status. Cognitive impairment was diagnosed in 37.5% of participants. The COGEVIS score cutoff point to screen for cognitive impairment was 24 (maximum score of 30) with a sensitivity of 66.7% and a specificity of 95%. Evaluation following 4 months of visual rehabilitation showed an improvement of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (p=0.004), National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire (p=0.035), and Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (p=0.037). This study introduces a new short test to screen for cognitive impairment in visually impaired patients.

Abstract:
Despite the recent surge of interest in studies of conspiracy theories in Russia and post-Soviet countries, scholars still largely neglect the early nineteenth-century period, which is nonetheless crucial for the understanding of the Russian conspiratorial tradition. This paper aims to bridge the existing gap by offering a new interpretation of the conspiracism and dynamics of its production and dissemination in the later years of Alexander I’s reign. Echoing ongoing historiographical debates, it identifies the 1820s as a starting point for the intervention of the conspiratorial discourse into Russian political culture and public opinion. Several crucial factors predetermined the actualization of the myth of global conspiracy at this time: the reception of Western conspiracy theorists’ works, growing mystical sentiments in the court, and the revolutionary crisis in Southern Europe. By applying the “generative” model from the latest conspiracy studies and the theory of political myth, the essay argues that functionality was a core element of the conspiracy mythology in Alexandrine Russia. Civil servants, diplomats, and clergymen at multiple levels of the ruling hierarchy utilized conspiracy narratives to satisfy their demands. Through the myth’s articulation, they helped themselves to comprehend the causality of political events, solve various career problems, pledge loyalty to the monarchy, identify with power hegemony, and struggle in an intra-elite competition. To substantiate the outlined theses, a wide array of archival and published materials related to specific cases of conspiracy rhetoric’s implementation was deployed and analyzed. Overall, the findings presented here might help to open unexplored perspectives for the reexamination of the instrumental relevance of conspiracy theories for the educated classes, to come up with a modified approach for studying Russian conspiratorial culture and the continuity of its modern form with the imperial one.

Abstract:
A forgotten figure of the new Hungarian musical movement of the 1910s, Géza Vilmos Zágon (1889–1918) was a talented composer, pianist and music writer. He belonged among those young composers who turned toward French culture instead of the traditional German orientation and searched for new inspiration in Paris. He was, at the same time, one of the few to be personally acquainted with leading personalities of the city’s musical life: letters by Claude Debussy, Michel-Dimitri Calvocoressi, Louis Laloy, Émile Vuillermoz and Albert Zunz Mathot have survived in his legacy. During his stay in France between 1912 and 1914, he acted as the representant of the former UMZE (Új Magyar Zene Egyesület, New Hungarian Music Association), and did not only bring attention to himself as a performer of his own works, but was also instrumental in promoting those by Bartók and Kodály. In the present study, I seek to demonstrate that Zágon served as an important liaison for Bartók’s circle with some of the most influential groups of French avant-garde, the Société Musicale Indépendante, as well as Calvocoressi. In an effort to document these important relationships as well as Zágon’s activity, I publish a selection of his correspondence in original language, with French translation provided where appropriate.

Abstract:
In the aftermath of the Paris Agreement, there is a crucial need for scientists in both thermal physiology and climate change research to develop the integrated approaches necessary to evaluate the health, economic, technological, social, and cultural impacts of 1.5°C warming. Our aim was to explore the fidelity of remote temperature measurements for quantitatively identifying the continuous redistribution of heat within both the Earth and the human body. Not accounting for the regional distribution of warming and heat storage patterns can undermine the results of thermal physiology and climate change research. These concepts are discussed herein using two parallel examples: the so-called slowdown of the Earth’s surface temperature warming in the period 1998-2013; and the controversial results in thermal physiology, arising from relying heavily on core temperature measurements. In total, the concept of heat is of major importance for the integrity of systems, such as the Earth and human body. At present, our understanding about the interplay of key factors modulating the heat distribution on the surface of the Earth and in the human body remains incomplete. Identifying and accounting for the interconnections among these factors will be instrumental in improving the accuracy of both climate models and health guidelines.

Abstract:
Abstract The Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique atmospheric general circulation model with zooming capability (LMDZ) has been used in a nudged mode to enable comparison of model outputs with routine observations and evaluate the model physical parameterizations. Simulations have been conducted with a stretched grid refined over the vicinity of Paris, France, where observations, collected at the Trappes station (Météo-France) and at the Site Instrumental de Recherche par Télédétection Atmosphérique observatory, are available. For the purpose of evaluation of physical parameterizations, the large-scale component of the modeled circulation is adjusted toward ECMWF analyses outside the zoomed area only, whereas the inside region can evolve freely. A series of sensitivity experiments have been performed with different parameterizations of land surface and boundary layer processes. Compared with previous versions of the LMDZ model, a “thermal plume model,” in association with a constant resistance to evaporation improves agreement with observations. The new parameterization significantly improves the representation of seasonal and diurnal cycles of near-surface meteorology, the day-to-day variability of planetary boundary layer height, and the cloud radiative forcing. This study emphasizes the potential of using a climate model with a nudging and zooming capability to assess model physical parameterizations.

Abstract:
The central years of Richelieu’s government saw a notable increase in the number of political treatises published in Paris after the Journée des Dupes in 1630. Such treatises not only reflected the cardinal’s ideas on political practice but also served to justify them. El Enbaxador (1620) was the first treatise on the ambassadorial office ever written in Spanish, produced at the end of the reign of Felipe III by Juan Antonio de Vera, a nobleman, writer and future ambassador of the Spanish Monarchy. When published in French as Le Parfait Ambassadeur in 1635, it resonated with the political debate in Richelieu’s entourage. Significantly, the text was addressed to Abel Servien, secretary of state for war and main collaborator of the cardinal minister. The translation operation, which involved remarkable adaptations, reveals the compatibility between Vera’s treatise and the aforementioned political debate. The French translation of 1635 was also instrumental to the dissemination of El Enbaxador in early modern Europe, since the later editions in French and Italian, five in total, depend on it. Interestingly, the European fortunes of El Enbaxador can be explained by its readings as a treatise on political education, a handbook for ambassadors and an outstanding text of the Republic of Letters.

Abstract:
Before breaking’s official announcement into the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, other practitioners and members of pioneering crew the New York City Breakers had already dreamed about this future. This article presents an interview with breaking’s first impresario Michael Holman, who was the first individual to document this vision of breaking’s Olympic future in his book Breaking and the New York City Breakers (1984). Holman’s history in hip hop culture is both well documented and persists as one of the most important accounts of hip hop cultural intermediation and entrepreneurship. Notably, his early work in the New York scene was instrumental in developing hip hop and setting in motion the first wave of commercial viability for breaking. Holman’s discovery and management of breakers pushed boundaries in a time where few opportunities for professionalization existed – presenting breaking in new contexts for performance, showcase and expression, such as on television and in theatre. Our interview looks back to brushes with the Olympics in the past to think critically about what potential outcomes emerge from this pivotal moment in the dance’s global mainstream rediscovery. Holman’s reflections demonstrate how breaking in the Olympics has been articulated in the past while reminding us that breaking’s industrialization has already been underway for decades.

Abstract:
Public aspirations for more sustainable mega-projects not only ensuring economic returns but also comprehensive local legacies have increased in recent years. The Olympic Games in particular have been criticized as commercial ventures lacking in proportional impacts for local communities, while largely financed by public funds. With associated corruption and gentrification concerns, such projects met with increased opposition. The International Olympic Committee (IOC), struggling to attract candidate cities, adapted its strategies and frameworks, while host cities’ priorities were better heeded. Cultural policy, associated with transformative urban powers since the 1990s, became instrumental to sustainable legacies. This article explores the increased use of cultural value, from heritage to creation, as part of the Olympic Games, to reach more sustainable cultural, socio-economic, political, and environmental objectives. Can cultural planning and programming (notably Cultural Olympiads) help provide a more sustainable legacy to the redeveloped areas and their communities? Can culture also impact the Olympic project through its use of sustainable management methods (consultation, participation, co-creation, etc.)? After discussing evolving theories and practices around sustainability, legacy, and cultural policy in the Olympic context, this article analyzes the cases of London 2012 and Paris 2024 and their Athletes’ village areas (Stratford and Plaine Commune).

Abstract:
O objetivo desta entrevista é oferecer subsídios para o debate acerca dos desafios epistemológicos atuais da sociologia. Trata-se de uma rara oportunidade de dar voz a um pesquisador que mesmo se ocupando de temas europeus e específicos da realidade francesa, não deixa de ter um envolvimento com a realidade latino-americana. A entrevista concedida por Danilo Martuccelli, em outubro de 2012, foi realizada pelas professoras de sociologia da educação da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade de São Paulo, Maria da Graça Jacintho Setton e Marilia Pontes Sposito, a partir de um debate informal e cordial realizado ora por e-mail, ora presencialmente. Danilo Martuccelli é professor de sociologia da Faculdade de Ciências Humanas e Sociais da Universidade Paris-Descartes (Sorbonne). É também membro do grupo de pesquisa CERLIS (Centre de recherches sur les liens sociaux), que pertence à mesma instituição. Nesta entrevista temos a exposição de um instrumental teórico e analítico que evidencia a integração das perspectivas micro e macrossociológica. Aproveitando-se de uma sólida leitura dos clássicos da sociologia a partir de um enfoque grupal ou individual, Danilo Martuccelli oferece um relato inspirador de como podemos nos apropriar de uma larga tradição teórica. Fazendo uso dessas reflexões, o depoimento põe em tela um debate contemporâneo no interior das ciências sociais, bem como garante a ampliação e a contextualização histórica e teórica dos processos de formação do social.

Abstract:
René Descartes (1596–1650) was born at La Haye, near Tours in France. He entered the Jesuit School at La Flèche in 1606, where he studied Latin and Greek and the classical authors, and acquired respect for the certainty of mathematics and distaste for the theories of Aristotle as developed by medieval commentators. In 1616, he took a degree in law at the University of Poitiers. There followed a period during which he travelled, for some of the time as a gentleman-officer in the armies of Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange, and Maximilian, Duke of Bavaria. In 1625 he returned to Paris and renewed his acquaintance with Father Marin Mersenne, who was later instrumental in making his views known to many of the famous intellectuals in Europe. From 1628 to 1649 he lived in Holland and worked out in detail the scientific, philosophical and mathematical ideas that had engaged him during his travels. His main philosophical works are Rules for the Direction of the Mind, written in 1629–30 but not published until 1684, Discourse on Method, 1637, Meditations, 1641, Principles of Philosophy, 1644, and The Passions of the Soul, 1649. In 1649, Descartes accepted an invitation to visit the Queen of Sweden and instruct her in philosophy. He succumbed to the rigorous climate, and died in February 1650.

Abstract:
In the winter of 1704–5 Henry Playford advertised ‘a Choice Collection of Vocal and Instrumental Musick in Italian, French, and English’ owned by Gottfried Finger and partly collected by him ‘in his Travels to Italy’. Finger had evidently sold the collection to Johann Gottfried Keller and John Banister junior prior to his abrupt departure from England in 1701 after coming last in the competition to set Congreve's masque The Judgement of Paris. The discovery of a copy of the printed catalogue throws light on Finger's collecting activities in Italy and on the reception of Italian music in England. It also includes a list of ‘Mr. Finger's Great Pieces for his Consort in York-Buildings’, providing us with valuable new information about his concert activities in London in the 1690s, and about the size and composition of groups performing at York Buildings, London's first purpose-built concert hall. The list includes many pieces richly scored with brass, woodwind and strings, evidently performed with sizeable forces: most of the sets of parts are said to have been ‘Prick’d 3 times over’. It adds a number of new pieces to the catalogue of Finger's known compositions, and enables us to attribute to him an anonymous sonata for four recorders and continuo that was published in the twentieth century as by James Paisible.

Kleiberg, Ståle. "Grieg's Slåtter, Op. 72: Change of Musical Style or New Concept of Nationality?" Journal of the Royal Musical Association 121, no. 1 (1996): 46–57. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jrma/121.1.46.
Abstract:
Slåtter, op. 72, was composed in 1902-3, and is thus among Grieg's very last works. It is also one of his least familiar. ‘Here [in Norway] my early position is still being promoted, praised at every available opportunity at the expense of my current one’, he wrote in his diary on 21 March 1906. Earlier that day he had played six of the 17 slåtter at a concert in Kristiania (now Oslo), and he was disappointed by the lukewarm response. Grieg did, however, live long enough to witness the successful reception of the work, not least in France where avant-garde circles talked about ‘le nouveau Grieg’. Nevertheless, the widespread perception of Grieg - even today - is based on his lyrical pieces, the ‘wheat buns’, as he himself called them. Yet Slåtter is without doubt one of Grieg's most fascinating works. We do indeed meet a ‘new Grieg’ here, and there is good reason to believe that the work played some part in Béla Bartók's development. There was a copy in Bartók's library, and in an article in the Hungarian journal Zeneközlöny from 1911 (a year before he visited Norway) he mentions Norwegian slåtter and Romanian joe as distinctive types of instrumental folk music. According to the Norwegian Grieg scholar Dag Schjelderup-Ebbe, he probably became aware of Grieg's Slåtter in Paris in 1910.

Tovsultanov, Rustam Alkhazurovich, Malika Sharipovna Tovsultanova, and Lilia Nadipovna Galimova. "The policy of confessional particularism of the French authorities in Mandatory Syria in 1920–1946." Samara Journal of Science 11, no. 3 (September 1, 2022): 192–96. http://dx.doi.org/10.55355/snv2022113209.
Abstract:
The paper discusses the confessional principles of the territorial structure of Syria during its stay in the status of a French mandated territory. The authors prefaced their analysis with a description of the process of establishing a French colonial administration in Syria, in particular, the conclusion of the Anglo-French Sykes-Picot agreement on the division of the Middle East and, in particular, Greater Syria, into spheres of influence that determined the modern borders of the Middle Eastern states. The instrumental role of confessional differences in the struggle of the French authorities in Syria with the popular idea of pan-Arabism in the region is shown. Predominantly according to the confessional principle, the territory of Syria was fragmented by the French into 5 regions-states, which, firstly, determined the subsequent loss of control by Damascus over Lebanon and the Alexandretta Sanjak, and secondly, laid the foundation for the emergence of separatist tendencies and future domestic instability. However, as the authors of the paper show in the short term, the policy of the French imperialists failed. Paris failed to use Christians to put down the Druze and Sunni uprisings. However, after the French left the territory of Syria, there was a conflict between large ethno-confessional groups (Sunnis, Alawites and Druzes), the consequences of which were especially sharply exposed already in the 2010s.

Abstract:
"Henri Dutilleux was one of the prominent figures of European composition, especially in the second half of the 20th century. A complex personality, he worked throughout his career as a musician in various roles, from pianist, to accompanist, to conductor, to pedagogue, to composer, being one of the main promoters of French culture and beyond. He received numerous awards and recognitions for his entire activity, his reputation not only surpassing the borders of the country, but also the European ones. Although he began composing at a very young age, Dutilleux repeatedly omits to include these works in his catalogue, refusing even to mention them in the section of his interpreted works. Meticulous and extremely pedantic, he always made changes to his works, constantly crystallizing his style both throughout the varied musical experiences in which the musician took part and through the close collaborations he had with instrumental artists whom he consulted regarding timbral possibilities and techniques of the instruments he was writing for. His compositions, although not very numerous, encompass a genuistically vast variety, and an exhaustive stylistic approach. Although he always embraces new compositional techniques, Dutilleux never reaches a rational extremism, keeping in the foreground the idea of meaningful music, and not the other way around. He died on 22nd of May 2013, in Paris, at the age of 97. Keywords: Henri Dutilleux, French composer, 20th century"
