No full textThe Guest Editors of the proceedings are issuing an editorial concern for this Article. Shortly after publication of this Article in May 2021, the Publisher was alerted by one of the authors Hicham Berbar that he never approved to be listed in the current Authors list. Furthermore, the Author points out that the published paper is a very similar copy to his 2018 PFE report defended at the “Centre de formation des inspecteurs de l’enseignement” (CFIE). The Publisher and the guest editors confirm that Hicham Berbar scientific concern should be addressed. Therefore, this article has been withdrawn from publication

Infodemiological data of high-school drop-out related web searches in Canada correlating with real-world statistical data in the period 2004–2012
No full textAbstractThe present data article describes high-school drop-out related web activities in Canada, from 2004 to 2012, obtained mining Google Trends (GT), using high-school drop-out as key-word. The searches volumes were processed, correlated and cross-correlated with statistical data obtained at national and province level and broken down for gender. Further, an autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) model was used to model the GT-generated data. From a qualitative point of view, GT-generated relative search volumes (RSVs) reflect the decrease in drop-out rate. The peak in the Internet-related activities occurs in 2004 (56.35%, normalized value), and gradually declines to 40.59% (normalized value) in 2007. After, it remains substantially stable until 2012 (40.32%, normalized value). From a quantitative standpoint, the correlations between Canadian high-school drop-out rate and GT-generated RSVs in the study period (2004–2012) were statistically significant both using the drop-out rate for academic year and the 3-years moving average.Examining the data broken down by gender, the correlations were higher and statistically significant in males than in females. GT-based data for drop-out resulted best modeled by an ARMA(1,0) model. Considering the cross correlation of Canadian regions, all of them resulted statistically significant at lag 0, apart from for New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and the Prince Edward island. A number or cross-correlations resulted statistically significant also at lag −1 (namely, Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan)
Airline Schedule Disruption Management. The impact of flight delays on connection loss
No full textInternational audienceAir travel demand is important and many travellers choose to drive to larger airports instead of flying from a small airport for many reasons, especially availability of non-stop flights. Another reason is perceived reliability of service. Consultants have pointed to a large number of delays and cancellations as reasons for low passenger. However, the effect of these flight delays on actual travel times is less clear. Because connections are usually necessary when traveling from small airports, departure delays may lead to missed connections. In the case of a cancellation, need to wait several hours (often overnight) for the next flight due to the small number of daily departures. This paper evaluate the impact of delays and cancellations on the profit earned through the seats captured on new opened routes. This aspect of decision-making comes in the form of multi-objective problem by testing the impact of a new opened route in terms of flight delays costs, financial gain and the quality of the service provided to a target customer. The NSGA-II algorithm is adopted to generate a front of Pareto-optimal compound of a number of optimal departure times to the new destination while ensuring the best fill rate, and a minimum flight delays. The experiences are based on the flights of the Royal Air Maroc Company on the Casablanca hub

Leopold Blaustein, "On the Perception of the Radio Play." Translated from French ("Étude sur la perception des pièces radiophoniques") by Hicham Jakha. Polish fragments translated by Filip Borek and Alicja Jakha.
No full textBlaustein explores the phenomenon of listening to the radio play. The idea put forth by the author is that the radio play engages perception, treating the latter in a broad sense. Perception is not necessarily restricted to seeing; rather, it is understood as being cross-modal, as involving different senses. The main sense involved in the case of radio plays is hearing, which enables one to listen to the radio. Radio listeners are drawn into radio plays as media of hearing. Instead of vision, listeners engage their “acousion,” a term coined by Blaustein to capture the perceptual distinctness of hearing; acousion is the auditive perception of radio plays. Listening to a radio play is a lived experience or a psychic phenomenon, precisely due to the activeness of acousion. Listeners do not only passively perceive or hear auditive data. They also engage their imaginative faculties, presenting to themselves, mentally, the world of the action; by so doing, listeners enable the act of listening. According to Blaustein, presentations, even imaginative ones, are basic. By listening to a radio play, the listener imaginatively presents the world of the action to themselves, as if they were watching a theater play. However, going beyond the realm of presentations, other factors are examined, e.g., the listener’s focus is turned into the world represented—the world within—, which is given to them via auditive data and dialogue

Avenue de France de Colette Fellous : histoire des lieux et lieu des histoires
No full textRésumé
Colette Fellous est l’auteure de plusieurs récits qui convergent vers un même point d’ancrage, la Tunisie. Cet attachement à son pays d’origine a suscité en elle le besoin de revoir la petite et la grande histoire. Son éveil intellectuel à une telle entreprise s’est effectué avec Avenue de France, produit en 2001. La réécriture de sa vie quotidienne a pour assise la ville de Tunis. Afin de mieux communiquer avec son lecteur potentiel, l’auteure a préconisé deux éléments distincts : texte et image permettant de mieux saisir le passé.

Abstract
Colette Fellous is the author of several narratives converging towards a common anchor, Tunisia. Her attachment to her country of origin has sparked the need to revisit both small and grand history. Her intellectual awakening to such an endeavor took place with Avenue de France, created in 2001. The rewriting of her daily life is anchored in the city of Tunis. In order to better communicate with her potential reader, the author advocated for two distinct elements: text and image, allowing for a better grasp of the past.
