Designed to Seduce: Epistemically Retrograde Ideation and YouTube's Recommender System
No full textTollon F. Designed to Seduce: Epistemically Retrograde Ideation and YouTube's Recommender System. International Journal of Technoethics. 2021;12(2):60-71.Up to 70% of all watch time on YouTube is due to the suggested content of its recommender system. This system has been found, by virtue of its design, to be promoting conspiratorial content. In this paper, the author firstly critiques the value neutrality thesis regarding technology, showing it to be philosophically untenable. This means that technological artefacts can influence what people come to value (or perhaps even embody values themselves) and change the moral evaluation of an action. Secondly, he introduces the concept of an affordance, borrowed from the literature on ecological psychology. This concept allows him to make salient how technologies come to solicit certain kinds of actions from users, making such actions more or less likely, and in this way influencing the kinds of things one comes to value. Thirdly, he critically assesses the results of a study by Alfano et al. He makes use of the literature on affordances, introduced earlier, to shed light on how these technological systems come to mediate our perception of the world and influence action

Le château de Bournazel, l’Antiquité retrouvée
No full textÀ l’occasion de l’analyse du décor de ce château de l’Aveyron, à l’architecture précocement classique, l’auteur s’interroge sur le sens de l’iconographie des métopes étonnement variées (où apparaît en particulier Jupiter Amon) et de la présence d’une série de bustes évoquant des figures impériales à côté de héros et de femmes illustres. On peut y voir une stratégie seigneuriale ambitieuse, qui convoque Venus armata ou la Fortune, à côté d’un rapport nouveau à l’Antiquité, propre aux élites urbaines des villes méridionales riches en monuments de l’ancienne Narbonnaise.Analyzing the decor of this Aveyron castle, with its early classical architecture, the author thinks over the meaning of the iconography of the surprisingly varied metopes (with the figure of Jupiter Amon in particular) and the presence of a series of busts of imperial figures alongside heroes and illustrious ladies. One can see in it an ambitious memorial strategy, summoning Venus armata or Fortune, alongside a new relationship to Antiquity, particular to the urban elites of the southern cities fraught with monuments of the ancient Narbonnese

Estimation of mating system parameters in an evolving gynodioecous population of cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).
No full textCultivated plants have been molded by human-induced selection, including manipulations of the mating system in the twentieth century. How these manipulations have affected realized parameters of the mating system in freely evolving cultivated populations is of interest for optimizing the management of breeding populations, predicting the fate of escaped populations and providing material for experimental evolution studies. To produce modern varieties of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), self-incompatibility has been broken, recurrent generations of selfing have been performed and male sterility has been introduced. Populations deriving from hybrid-F1 varieties are gynodioecious because of the segregation of a nuclear restorer of male fertility. Using both phenotypic and genotypic data at 11 microsatellite loci, we analyzed the consanguinity status of plants of the first three generations of such a population and estimated parameters related to the mating system. We showed that the resource reallocation to seed in male-sterile individuals was not significant, that inbreeding depression on seed production averaged 15-20% and that cultivated sunflower had acquired a mixed-mating system, with ∼50% of selfing among the hermaphrodites. According to theoretical models, the female advantage and the inbreeding depression at the seed production stage were too low to allow the persistence of male sterility. We discuss our methods of parameter estimation and the potential of such study system in evolutionary biology.L’apparition et le maintient de divergences adaptatives entre populations occupant des niches écologiques différentes dépend de l’importance relative de la sélection et de l’effet homogénéisant des flux de gènes. Chez les plantes à reproduction sexuée, les flux de gènes entres groupes d’individus géographiquement proches, peuvent être réduit du fait de divergences phénologiques (i.e., date du pic de floraison, étendue et intensité de la période de floraison...) favorisant les croisements entre individus à floraison synchrone (« temporal assortative mating», Fox 2003). En dépit de son impact sur l’évolution et l’adaptation des populations l’effet des divergences phénologiques sur les flux de gènes a rarement quantifi
