Histoire contemporaine du monde arabe

Enseignement Cours – Les crises d’Orient : le Moyen-Orient à partir de 1914 Le cours de l’année 2017-2018 commence à partir de l’année 1914 et aborde l’histoire politique du Moyen-Orient comme objet géopolitique. Cette question s’inscrit dans la continuité du travail du professeur Henry Laurens publié en 2017 et intitulé Les Crises d’Orient (1768-1914). Le but de cet enseignement est de montrer que la source des violences réside davantage dans la géopolitique que dans la culture. À cet égard,..

Acoustical measurement of the shear modulus for thin porous layers

International audienceSimulations performed with the Biot theory show that for thin porous layers, a shear mode of the structure can be induced by a point-source in air located close to the layer. The simulations show that this mode is present around frequencies where the quarter wavelength of the shear Biot wave is equal to the thickness of the samples and show that it can be acoustically detected from the fast variations with frequency of the location of a pole of the reflection coefficient close to grazing incidence. The mode has been detected with this method for two reticulated plastic foams. For one of the foams studied, the velocity and the damping of the Rayleigh wave have been measured on a thicker layer of the same medium at higher frequencies, giving a real part of the shear modulus close to the one obtained from the measured location of the pole. The strong coupling of the shear mode with the acoustic field in air allows the measurement of the shear modulus without mechanical excitation

ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN PEMECAHAN MASALAH MATEMATIS PADA SOAL SETARA INSTRUMEN TIMSS UNTUK SISWA SMP NEGERI 1 MASOHI

Mathematical problem solving ability is one of the abilities that must be mastered by students in order to be able to mathematically solve problems often found in real life. The purpose of this study was to describe students' mathematical problem solving abilities on the volume of cubes and blocks equivalent to the TIMSS instrument. The research subjects are five students of class IX science at SMP Negeri 1 Masohi who were selected based on the category of problem solving ability. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive research supported by quantitative data. The data obtained from this study is data on mathematical problem solving ability tests such as written tests and interviews. The results show that students with very high abilities are able to interpret problems well, interpret strategies and problem-solving steps accaording to the plan, and consistently check back. Students with high abilities are able to apply the four steps in solving ploblems even though there are some questions that students make mistakes in setting strategies and substituting scores at the completion stage. Students with moderate abilities sometimes make mistakes in setting a strategy, make calculation errors, and do not check back to the maximum so that they get inaccurate results. Meanwhile students with low abilities unable to meet the completeness of the stage of understand the problem is writing down the things that are known and asked. As for students with low abilities cannot solve problems completely because of poor planning. Making mistakes in calculations and not checking again so that they do not get the right result

Fast prototyping of planar photonic crystal components using a combination of optical lithography and focused ion beam etching

A combination of conventional optical lithography and focused ion beam etching provides a novel method for fast and precise (10 nm accuracy) prototyping of planar photonic crystal structures having submicron features, in silicon on insulator wafers

A histopathologic study of fatal paediatric cerebral malaria caused by mixed Plasmodium falciparum/Plasmodium vivax infections

Microvascular sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum underlies cerebral malaria. Despite suggestive ex vivo evidence, this phenomenon has not been convincingly demonstrated in coma complicating Plasmodium vivax malaria. Severely-ill Papua New Guinean children with mixed P. falciparum/P. vivax infections are more likely to develop cerebral malaria and die than those with P. falciparum alone, possibly reflecting P. vivax sequestration. Nested PCR was performed on post mortem brain tissue from three such children dying from cerebral malaria due to mixed-species infections. No P. vivax DNA was detected. These findings do not support the hypothesis that P. vivax sequestration occurs in human brain
