Among current Western heads of state, Emmanuel Macron is undoubtedly the most unique. Although he was only 39 years old when he was elected for the first time and 44 years old for the second time, he had never previously held an elective office. However, he shares with two of his predecessors, François Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac, the fact of having held two mandates. This path is in itself atypical, not to say ‘disruptive’ compared to that of all the presidents who preceded him. This term is also the communication marker not only of his victorious 2017 presidential campaign but above all a key element of his political orientation. However, if he did, at first, ‘disrupt’ the political landscape in France, this momentum very quickly died down to such an extent that the political character he embodies has crystallized hopes, disappointments and then anger and even hatred. Such reactions lead to question the real contribution of this disruption. Until now, these questions have only been partially addressed, leaving room for the implementation of an original approach which consists in postulating that this disruption actually masks a transgression. Through the prism of transgression, this paper aims to decipher this (false) disruption as his journey from 2016 as a candidate until his second term has been illustrated by a variety of behavioral forms and lexical expressions. I approach these aspects in the form of critical narrative writing, which is based on concrete details, spoken words, speeches, interviews, and other texts.

With the development of science and technology, computer applications are changing with each passing day, changing our lives in all aspects. Computers have become an indispensable tool in life, and learning programming languages to operate computers has become a major focus of education. From low-level languages to high-level languages to visual programming languages, and finally to generative artificial intelligence to generate code. Program development tools are constantly updated as computers advance. This has the benefit of lowering barriers to learning, but also results in a weaker understanding of how the program works. This article designs a programming language learning strategy that combines the above programming development tools to lower the threshold for programming language learning and improve learning efficiency.

The study aimed to find out the phonological, morphological, and semantic variations of the Lavender language in the provinces of Region XI namely Davao del Norte (DDN), Davao Oriental (DOR), Davao Occidental (DOC), Davao del Sur (DDS) and Davao de Oro (DDO). The study utilized a qualitative research design employing textual analysis approach. Fifteen (15) research participants, consisting of homosexual teachers, took part in the study, selected through purposive and snowball sampling methods. The findings revealed variations in the Lavender language in the provinces of DDN, DOR, DOC, DDS, and DDO. Phonological variations included consonant clusters, phonemic changes, diphthongs, phoneme /ŋ/, and the use of accent marks on vowel phonemes. Morphological variations encompassed reduplication, coinage, and affixation, particularly prefixes, suffixes, and circumfixes. Semantic variations comprised words derived from the names of famous personalities, straight words, brands, food, places, and associated sounds. Overall, the results of the analyses shed light on how subgroups in society develop their own language to communicate with each other.

Purpose – South Asian mental health professionals were invited to identify influences on mental health symptom severity among responders during crisis events in Sri Lanka. Further consideration was given to the treatment that could be applied to improve the mental wellbeing of such individuals. Methodology – Twenty-nine mental health professionals (14 civilian and 15 military based) completed a semi-structured interview that incorporated a guided discussion on the mental health experiences observed in crisis responders. Key findings – Thematic Analysis was conducted, yielding two categories. The first understanding from mental health professionals of the impact of trauma that crisis responders in Sri Lanka can experience providing 10 themes capturing the diversity of impact on mental health and social structures. The second category was effective intervention for crisis mental health responders and yielded two main themes. A number of subthemes underpinned each theme across the two categories. Originality – The current study is one of the first to explore mental health symptomology and treatment considerations for crisis responders in a South Asian sample, through the perspective of mental health responders.

The study examined the moderating effect of industry forces on entrepreneurial orientation to impact on business performance of small-size hotels. A quantitative research approach and a questionnaire survey technique were used to collect the data from 396 small-size hotels. The conceptual model was analyzed through a partial least square using structural equation modelling. It was observed that the direct path relationship of industry forces and business performance was all positive and significant. The study introduced some novelty aspects such as the substitution of construct using industry forces as moderation in the theoretical framework to enhance entrepreneurial orientation to impact on business performance. The study recommends that small hotels strategically position themselves to improve their business performance amid industry forces.

Juvenile status offenses were created to protect against unnecessary physical detention of juveniles. Petty actions by teenagers are expected. Researchers have found that physically detaining juveniles in detention centers for behaviors such as truancy, running away, etc., did more harm than good. The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 was enacted to create guidelines and prevent unnecessary detainment of juveniles. An amendment to the act in 1980 allowed judges to detain juveniles regarding status offenses if specific criteria were met. What seemed to be a minor change sought to protect juveniles from their own unruly conduct, i.e., running away or violating a court order. Ultimately, discretion to detain a juvenile began to be used very often. The undermining of status offenses has gained attention from many officials. The North Dakota Governor, Doug Burgum, did not hesitate to sign House Bill 1035 when it was made available to his office. The bill addresses the loophole, though the benefit has yet to be measured.

For many years, the most common types of cancers that causes death has been lung and brain cancer. In addition, they are very hard to treat once they have been spread in the late stages. Early cancer detection and diagnosis have become crucial for providing immediate and efficient care to those who are afflicted with the disease. To predict cancer, this process needs cancer image classification which is a difficult task in the recent improvement of computer-based diagnostics. The main objective of this research is to classify Computed-Tomography (CT) images of the lungs and brain as cancerous or not. Therefore, this research shows the possibility of using a convolutional-neural-network (CNN) for lung and brain cancer detection through transfer learning (TL) without the difficulty of specifying features for image-classification. The proposed TCNN is trained and tested from scratch using two public and one private dataset using the TL technique. The suggested transfer learning-based model attained an accuracy of 92.81%, 97.21%, and 99.40% for Scratch TCNN Model, Pre-Trained TCNN Model, and Transfer Pre-Pre-Trained Model in that order. Hence, the proposed method gives high accuracy and decreases the time of diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose: This paper investigates the influences of racial and socioeconomic factors on public schools' performance in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex. Research Methods: I obtained data from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the American Community Survey (ACS), representing 366,568 students attending 239 public high schools in the DFW Metroplex, which included public schools located in Colin County, Dallas County, Tarrant County, and Denton County. I measured public school performance based on graduation rate metrics and average SAT scores from graduating students. Findings: I found a significant correlation between racial and socioeconomic factors on public school performance. I found that the percent composition of socioeconomically disadvantaged students was the highest correlator to decreased academic performance. Further, I found a positive correlation between the percentage of socioeconomically disadvantaged students attending a given high school in relation to the percentage of African-American and Hispanic students attending a given high school. Notably, I found that public schools in the DFW Metroplex were highly segregated by racial and socioeconomic factors. Implications: This study highlights the necessity for policy pushes to diversify public school districts. Many public schools in the DFW Metroplex remain extensively segregated by racial and socioeconomic factors, and our findings underscore the importance of ensuring equitable resource distribution amongst public schools, specifically in school systems with large percentages of African-American, Hispanic, and socioeconomically disadvantaged students.
目的：本文调查了种族和社会经济因素对达拉斯-沃斯堡（DFW）都会区公立学校绩效的影响。研究方法：我从德克萨斯州教育署（TEA）和美国社区调查（ACS）中获得了数据，这些数据代表了在达拉斯-沃斯堡大都会区 239 所公立高中就读的 366,568 名学生，其中包括科林县、达拉斯县、塔兰特县和丹顿县的公立学校。我根据毕业率指标和毕业学生的平均 SAT 分数来衡量公立学校的表现。研究结果我发现种族和社会经济因素与公立学校的绩效之间存在着明显的相关性。我发现，社会经济处境不利学生的百分比与学习成绩下降的相关性最高。此外，我还发现，就读于某所高中的社会经济处境不利学生的百分比与就读于某所高中的非裔美国人和西班牙裔学生的百分比之间存在正相关。值得注意的是，我发现华盛顿大都会区的公立学校因种族和社会经济因素而高度隔离。影响：本研究强调了推动公立学校学区多样化政策的必要性。我们的研究结果强调了确保公立学校资源公平分配的重要性，特别是在非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和社会经济条件较差的学生比例较大的学校系统中。

Implications: This study highlights the necessity for policy pushes to diversify public school districts. Many public schools in the DFW Metroplex remain extensively segregated by racial and socioeconomic factors, and our findings underscore the importance of ensuring equitable resource distribution amongst public schools, specifically in school systems with large percentages of African-American, Hispanic, and socioeconomically disadvantaged students.","PeriodicalId":475299,"journal":{"name":"Eximia","volume":"46 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139961297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
