International audience—In this paper, a strides detection algorithm is proposed using inertial sensors worn on the ankle. This innovative approach based on geometric patterns can detect both normal walking strides and atypical strides such as small steps, side steps and backward walking that existing methods struggle to detect. It is also robust in critical situations, when for example the wearer is sitting and moving the ankle, while most algorithms in the literature would wrongly detect strides

Issues of Participatory Digital Theatre. Reflections on Three Forms Developed during the Pandemic

This article studies three participatory theatre-forms on zoom. It aims at analyzing what kind of participation is possible in the space of video-conferencing, which is both located in a private room and at a distance. These theatres seem able to interpellate the audience on a cognitive as well as a social and even an affective level. Each apparatus focuses on a different dimension, be it imagination, empathy or criticality. Yet the interactions result in an experience that is anchored in the social and sensitive subjectivity. The enable the audience to reflect on an array of issues that are far from limited to the pandemic.This article studies three participatory theatre-forms on zoom.

Beyond the Argo-polis: A social archaeology of the Argolid in the 6th and early 5th centuries BCE

The focus of the present study is on the archaeological record of archaic (700-480 BCE) contexts found on mainland Greece in the region known as the Argolid. Its main concern is with interpreting the archaeological evidence in terms of human activities to arrive at a better understanding of the cultural and social developments of the archaic Argolid. From an archaeological perspective we can only speak of activities that leave some trace in the material record; here I examine writing, subsistence-related activities, and rituals. The first chapter deals with inscriptional evidence, attempting to monitor, through the use of writing, the impact of literacy upon Argolic society. Part I shows how the use of perishables can influence our perceptions of the role of early writing in Greece. Parts II and III assess the kinds of literacy that existed, and the areas of society that were literate, within archaic society, particularly within Argolic society. In the second chapter the survey evidence is given priority, since as many as three Argolic surveys have recently been published. The discussion centres on the exploitation of the landscape by means of agricultural, non-agricultural, and maritime activities, as a way of generating a clearer picture of the region's social organisation. The third chapter places emphasis on excavation material in an attempt to observe ritual activities in Argolic society. Part I concentrates on rituals of a communal nature, in honour of divinities; Part II deals with funerary rituals, mainly the burial evidence. Both aim to gain insight into the social structures that motivated the ritual system. An index of sites (Appendix A) accompanies the main text, providing bibliographic and descriptive material for each individual site. Two more appendices (B and C) can be consulted for an overview of metal objects and the location of cults whose divinities are known

Testing double auction as a component within a generic market model architecture

Since the first multi-agents based market simulations in the nineties, many different artificial stock market models have been developped. There are mainly used to reproduce and understand real markets statistical properties such as fat tails, volatility clustering and positive auto-correlation of absolute returns. Though they share common goals, these market models are most of the time different one from another: some are based on equations, others on complex microstructures, some are synchronous, others are asynchronous. It is hence hard to understand which characteristic of the market model used is at the origin of observed statistical properties. To investigate this question, we propose a generic model of artificial markets architecture which allows to freely compose modules coming from existing market models. To illustrate this formalism, we implement these components to propose a model of an asynchronous double auction based on an order-book and show that many stylized facts of real stock markets are reproduced with our model.multi-agent; orderbook; double auction; simulation; financial markets; stylized facts

Les retraits féminins du marché du travail : un fait social invisibilisé par la catégorie statistique de l’inactivité professionnelle

RésuméLes femmes durablement retirées du marché du travail, souvent appelées « femmes au foyer », sont peu étudiées dans le champ académique français. Cette invisibilité n’est pas sans enjeux. Elle entrave la compréhension de la stratification sociale, et perpétue des rapports sociaux de genre en niant la valeur du travail domestique. À partir des données longitudinales rétrospectives (enquête SIP 2006-1010), cet article dresse un bilan statistique des situations d’inactivité professionnelle déclarées par les hommes et les femmes et questionne ce manque d’intérêt. Nous montrons que les périodes d’inactivité professionnelle liées aux configurations familiales continuent de marquer une majorité de parcours de vie féminins, et peuvent être analysées comme un fait social. La catégorie statistique de l’inactivité professionnelle produit en partie leur invisibilité, car en plus de rendre difficile leur objectivation, elle les regroupe avec des situations aux caractéristiques très distinctes, notamment masculines. AbstractWomen who are permanently withdrawn from the labour market, often called “housewives”, are little studied in the French academic field. This invisibility is not without its challenges. It hinders the understanding of social stratification and perpetuates gender relations by denying the value of domestic work. Using retrospective longitudinal data (SIP surveys 2006-1010), this article draws up a statisticalassessment of the situations of professional inactivity declared by men and women and questions this lack of interest. We show that periods of professional inactivity linked to family configurations continue to mark a majority of women’s life paths, and can be  analysed as a social fact. The statistical category of professional inactivity partly produces their invisibility, because in addition to making it difficult to objectify them, it groups them together with situations with very distinct characteristics, particularly for men
