    1. Afterwards, a large replication project of social-science experiments published in Nature and Science (Camerer et al., 2018) did not reproduce the main effect of the study

      If an experiment produces a clear result but a later replication fails to reproduce it, how should researchers decide whether the original finding was unreliable or whether the difference came from the conditions of the replication?

    1. dense columns mean converging work, sparse columns mean thin evidence, empty columns mean a gap

      An empty column might mean that the research is missing, but couldn't it also mean our search strategy failed to find the relevant studies? I think we should be careful about claiming a research gap based only on the papers we selected.

    1. was not concerned that freedom fighters were referred to as terrorists, did not demand proof of God’s existence nor did I think that the missionaries, along with all the other Whites in Rhodesia, ought to have stayed at home.

      This sentence is easy to miss, but it shows what Tambu’s “good girl” behavior costs her. She is praised as a model daughter because of what she does not question: the labeling of freedom fighters as terrorists (colonial politics), God’s existence (religion), and the missionaries’ place in Rhodesia (race). The book’s central tension is that being “well-behaved” depends on not noticing injustice. Babamukuru rewards that silence, while Nyasha is punished for asking exactly these questions. The older narrator is criticizing her younger self here, since the passage reads as a list of everything she failed to see. This suggests the book is about political awareness as much as gender.

    2. The victimisation, I saw, was universal. It didn’t depend on poverty, on lack of education or on tradition. It didn’t depend on any of the

      Women in society face many challenges simply because of their gender. Regardless of their education, wealth or social status, they can still experience unfair treatment from men. Some women are forced to sacrifice their personal ambitions to satisfy family and cultural expectations. However, women deserve equal opportunities, respect and the freedom to make their own decisions.

    3. Anna came and knelt down in the doorway to tell us that supper was nearly ready. ‘For heaven’s sake, Anna, stand up!’ commanded Nyasha irritably. ‘Every time you come in here I tell you not to kneel down, but you keep on doing it. What’s the matter with you?’ And then she was ashamed of herself. ‘Now, honestly, just listen to me. Getting all cross and crotchety!

      Class and gender: Anna is a poor woman serving the household, and her kneeling shows the hierarchy.

    4. Babamukuru thought his wife was making a fuss about nothing, but she insisted, so the ritual dishing out of my uncle’s food was performed again.

      Maiguru's actions show that women in the family are expected to take responsibility for serving men. Although she is Babamukuru's wife, her work in the kitchen is treated as normal. Nyasha's decision not to wait for her father to finish eating suggests that she does not fully accept these traditional expectations.

    5. Maiguru snorted. ‘And what do you expect? Why should a woman go all that way and put up with all those problems if not to look after her husband?’

      This passage highlights the struggle between personal ambitions and family responsibilities. Maiguru is educated and has her own dreams, but she has sacrificed many of them because of her marriage. The author shows that women can lose their independence even when they are educated and financially productive.

    6. To our surprise, Maiguru did leave, by bus, early the next morning. She did not slink away in the dark, but quite openly packed a suitcase, put on her travelling clothes, had her breakfast and left. Babamukuru was still feeling injured, which was why, I thought, he let her go, but Nyasha had a different theory. She thought Babamukuru simply did not believe that Maiguru would doit. Would do it, could do it. It made no difference, she said. The point was that he did not believe. Babamukuru, she said, expected his wife to get cold feet before she got to the bus-stop or, at the latest, before the bus pulled away. It would have been useful, Nyasha said, if things had turned out that way, because then Babamukuru would always have been able to remind his wife that she had tried to leave and had failed. Unfortunately, she told me, Babamukuru had to wait until Maiguru had boarded that bus and had gone to discover whether he was right or not, and by that time it was too late to do anything about it.

      This passage shows that Maiguru is not completely powerless. Despite the challenges in her marriage, she finally takes action to express her dissatisfaction. I think this demonstrates the importance of women having the courage to stand up for their rights.

    7. She did tell us, didn’t she, what she thinks, and did anyone say anything? No. Why not? Because Maiguru is educated. That’s why you all kept quiet. Because she’s rich and comes here and flashes her money around, so you listen to her as though you want to eat the words that come out of her mouth. But me, I’m not educated, am I? I’m just poor and ignorant, so you want me to keep quiet, you say I mustn’t talk.

      This shows how economic differences can affect relationships between women. Mainini feels that her opinions are ignored because she is poor. It reminds me that every woman deserves to be heard regardless of her financial position.

    8. The day after the wedding, on Sunday, in the evening, Babamukuru called me to the sitting-room. He sat with Maiguru, he in the armchair that faced the fireplace, she on the sofa. I sat in the seat I had occupied that first time I had been in conference with Babamukuru on the day I first came to the mission. But this time my feelings were entirely different. I was dreading what was to follow. Babamukuru talked to me calmly, authoritatively and at length, told me how disappointed he was that I had grown so rebellious when he was doing so much for me, when he had been holding me 168 up for nearly two years as an example of filial virtue for his wayward daughter to follow. Babamukuru said I had to be punished for my disobedience a#fd that although he did not like to beat me, because I was of an age to be treated maturely, my behaviour showed that I was not yet mature and a beating might speed the process. I received fifteen lashes, having turned fifteen in April. Because of the seriousness of my crime, Anna was given two weeks’ leave and I took over her duties. I went about these chores grimly, with a deep and grateful masochistic delight: to me that punishment was the price of my newly acquired identity.

      On Sunday evening, the day after the wedding, Babamukuru called me to the sitting-room. He sat in his armchair and Maiguru sat on the sofa. I took the same chair I had sat in on my first night at the mission, but I was not the same girl. He did not shout, which was worse than shouting. He said he had held me up to Nyasha as the daughter she should copy, and that I had shamed his trust. A beating, he said, might help me grow up faster. I counted fifteen strokes, one for every year I had lived. Afterwards Anna was sent away on leave and her chores became mine. I scrubbed and swept without complaint, and a small, strange part of me was glad of the ache. If this was the price of saying no once, then at least I had bought something that belonged to me, even if I could not yet say what it was.

      What I added: • Tambu's physical and emotional experience, such as counting the strokes and his calm voice being worse than shouting. • A callback to the chair on her first night, to show how much she has changed. • A final line tying the pain to owning her decision.

      What I took away: • The words "crime" and "masochistic delight". I replaced them with action, so the reader sees the pain instead of being told about it. • Most of Babamukuru's reasoning, which I shortened to two sentences.

      Why: The original is flat and quick, which makes the beating of a girl seem normal and routine. I slowed it down to show the cost to Tambu and to connect it to the theme of girls being disciplined into obedience. The trade-off is that my version explains her feelings more than the original does.

    9. It’s everything, it’s everywhere. So where do you break out to?

      This passage shows the book’s central tension. Education and money have given Maiguru and Nyasha more than most women around them, but they are still trapped. Nyasha realises the problem is not only Babamukuru but a whole system of patriarchy and colonial values, so there is nowhere to escape to. Maiguru’s five days away, and her return after staying with her brother, prove this. Tambu believes education will set her free, but Nyasha shows that freedom is not that simple.

    10. ‘It’s bad enough,’ she said severely, ‘when a country gets colonised, but when the peopledo as well! That’s the end, really, that’s the end.’

      Tambu believes that leaving the old ways behind means progress. Nyasha answers that colonisation also happens in people’s minds. This is the book’s argument about colonial education.

    11. My vagueness and my reverence for my uncle, what he was, what he had achieved, what he represented and therefore what he wanted, had stunted the growth of my faculty of criticism, sapped the energy that in childhood I had used to define my own position.

      Her reverence for Babamukuru and the benefits he gives her have made her unable to question him. She cannot even say that the wedding is a farce.

    12. Since for most of her life my mother’s mind, belonging first to her father and then to her husband, had not been hers to make up, she was finding it difficult to come toa decision.

      Tambu's mother has never been allowed to choose anything. When she asks Lucia “Since when has it mattered what I want?”, it shows how a woman’s life is controlled by her father and then her husband.

    1. And where auditing a hyperscale provider yourself is impossible, assurance reports substitute: An independent auditor tests the supplier’s controls and you read the result

      How can organisations determine whether the security assurances provided by a third-party supplier are sufficient when they have limited ability to independently verify the supplier's actual security practices?

    2. If the cloud host, the email service and the analytics tool all run on the same underlying platform, three contracts share one failure.

      How can organisations assess whether their reliance on a trusted supplier has become strategic vulnerability, even when that supplier continues to meet its contractual security requirements?

    3. Breach notification They must tell you fast (e.g. within 24 hours) - your clocks start with their call

      Section 19.4 says our clocks start on our awareness, so is the supplier’s 24-hour window the right target? NIS2 already requires an early warning within 24 hours of awareness, so a 24-hour supplier notice leaves almost no margin. Should the clause be shorter for critical suppliers, such as ‘without undue delay’ or 12 hours?

    4. Your data, and who can access it, are always yours.

      If AutoRisk uses a cloud provider, how can it check that customer data is protected properly? Would reviewing the provider's security reports be enough, or should AutoRisk also test its own access settings regularly?

    5. Accountability stays with you. Work can be delegated; responsibility for the outcome cannot.

      If accountability always stays with the organisation, what can it realistically recover from a supplier that causes a breach? Contracts often cap liability or exclude indirect losses, so the fine and the loss of trust may exceed what the supplier pays. Should the contract and the risk assessment treat the gap between accountability and recourse as a residual risk that someone has to accept

    1. MFA is the single biggest win, and the case is why the kind of MFA, and what an account can reach afterwards, are policy questions rather than details.

      How should organisations balance the need for strict authentication controls on privileged accounts with the risk that overly restrictive security measures could disrupt legitimate administrative work?

    2. A rule that ignores behaviour does not produce the behaviour; it produces theatre plus workarounds, at full cost and negative benefit.

      How can organisations encourage employees to adopt secure authentication practices without creating so many rules that people develop workarounds?

    3. Bound to the real site; nothing to retype

      This describes a strength, not a weakness. What are the real weaknesses of passkeys, such as a lost device or the account-recovery path? For a small company like ours, which would we need to plan for?

    4. A rule that ignores behaviour does not produce the behaviour; it produces theatre plus workarounds, at full cost and negative benefit.

      NIST dropped forced rotation in 2017, but what should an organisation do if a customer contract, an auditor’s checklist or an older standard still requires regular password changes? Should the policy follow the evidence and document the deviation with a justification, and who has the authority to approve that deviation?

    1. Rate independently, then discuss the disagreements - the divergent rows are where the real information is.

      How can an organisation prevent senior managers opinions or personal biases from influencing risk evaluation decisions?

    2. Accepting is not ignoring: It is a deliberate, recorded decision that the risk is small enough to live with, made by someone with the authority to own the consequences, and revisited as the risk or the business changes.

      How can an organisation ensure that risk acceptance decisions remain appropriate when business priorities or threats change over time?

    3. A breach costing more than three months’ margin would threaten the company

      How should a company without margin figures, like our case company, estimate capacity? Should we use an assumption such as a share of annual revenue, or is it fine to leave capacity as a qualitative statement?

    4. A line drawn after seeing the risks is a line drawn to flatter them.

      How is the threshold kept fixed in practice? If many risks land above the line in one cycle and the budget is limited, there is pressure to move the line instead of the risks. Should the board approve the appetite statement before each assessment cycle, and who is allowed to change it mid-year, with what record?

    1. Fixes are verified, often re-tested at the next audit, and the finding an auditor grades hardest is the repeat finding

      How can an organisation make sure that audit findings are actually addressed rather than repeated in future audits?

    2. integrity, fair presentation, professional care, confidentiality, independence, and the evidence-based approach

      Does this list match ISO 19011:2018? I think the 2018 edition adds a seventh principle, the risk-based approach, which would fit the ‘risk-based’ planning described in the same section.

    3. A sample tells you a control probably worked; a full-population test tells you exactly which three exceptions exist, when, and to whom

      If a full-population test is possible for anything that leaves a machine record, should it replace sampling for those controls? The text says the analysis is only as good as the question asked of the data, so how does the auditor show that the data extract is complete and that the log source itself was not altered? Does the audit trail need a step for validating the data before the test?

    1. DORA turns “write it down and test it” from good practice into legal duty - Clause 7.5’s logic with a regulator’s signature.

      What are DORA's main requirements for financial entities, and how does the regulation make operational resilience and documentation legally mandatory?

    2. documentation is what turns personal knowledge into shared, repeatable practice.

      Why is security documentation essential for maintaining consistent security practices, especially when employees leave or tasks need to be audited?

    3. Policy, standard and procedure bind; guidelines do not.

      Example 15.3 adds records as a fourth layer of the evidence chain, but Definition 15.1 has no place for them. Are records part of the document hierarchy, or a separate evidence layer? I wrote a policy, two standards and a procedure for Nordic Phone and wasn’t sure where to put the tickets and logs.

    4. Design lives in the document; operation lives in the records; an audit checks both.

      The procedures are written by the first line, and the records (tickets, logs, sign-offs) are produced by the same people who do the work. Who checks that the records are complete and true between audits, especially in a small organisation without an internal audit function? Is a periodic sample by the second line enough, and how often should it run

    1. Culture is read from behaviour, not from the policy on the wall, and the field marks are reliable (Table 14.4): In a healthy culture people report mistakes openly, security is discussed as normally as quality, and leaders visibly follow the same rules;

      How can an organisation recognise a healthy security culture, and why are leaders actions and employees willingness to report mistakes important in building it?

    2. The goal is a habit: The secure action happening automatically, on a busy and distracted day, without conscious effort.

      Why is awareness training alone often insufficient to change employees cybersecurity behavior, and how can organisations make secure actions easier to perform consistently?

    3. Whether it works is measured in behaviour, not attendance

      Would the number of reported phishing emails be a better way to measure awareness than quiz results? Employees could pass a quiz but still fail to report a real attack.

    4. MFA protects the login, not the session

      If MFA only protects the login, which controls protect the session once a token is stolen? The case names short session lifetimes and alerts on new sessions, but how short is short enough without making staff log in so often that they look for workarounds? And who decides the session policy, security or the business?

    1. A risk lives on a path: A threat exploits a vulnerability to harm something of value, and a control removes or reduces the vulnerability, breaking the path.

      How does the value-threat-vulnerability-control model help an organisation identify and reduce cybersecurity risks?

    2. Severity ranks flaws; risk ranks work

      Who decides when a patch is allowed to deviate from the CVSS order, and where is that decision recorded? The example says the reasoning must be written down, but if the patch policy sets deadlines by CVSS band, the 7.5 on the checkout could break the policy while the 9.8 on the test machine is within it. Should the policy include a rule for deviations that cites value, exposure and existing controls?

    1. A preparedness plan that has never been exercised is a document, not a capability - and the space between the two is where plans fail.

      Why is it important to test a preparedness plan, even if backups run successfully every night, and how can a restore drill reveal weaknesses?

    2. The recovery time objective (RTO) is the time within which the service is expected to be restored - the downtime the organisation plans for.

      How do RTO, RPO, and MTD differ, and how do they help an organisation plan for service recovery during an incident.

    3. maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) is the ceiling above the RTO

      For NordicHealth, we have proposed an RTO of four hours for patient record access. But the maximum tolerable downtime may be shorter if a patient needs urgent treatment. Should the clinical team define a separate MTD based on patient safety, rather than treating the technical RTO as the final limit?

    4. Prevention lowers how often; preparedness lowers how bad - and an organisation needs both

      If preparedness is a corrective control, how should it be rated in the risk register? Does it lower the consequence score and leave likelihood unchanged, and who signs off that the lower rating is deserved?

    1. High-risk, per Annex III: Systems used in employment, credit, education, essential services, law enforcement - domains where a wrong output changes a life.

      Does healthcare fall under Annex III? The list says essential services, but I would expect AI in a medical diagnosis or analysis to be of higher risk than credit scoring per say. The script does not mention the Annex I path to high risk AI Act tier: High-risk AI systems are those: - used as a safety component or a product covered by EU laws in Annex I AND required to undergo a third-party conformity assessment under those Annex I laws.

    1. successful students seek help. They use resources.

      One of the challenges I think students might face is feeling like they have to solve every problem on their own. This section shows that asking for help is actually a strength not a weakness. Knowing that support exists on campus makes me feel more confident about handling challenges that may come up during college.

    2. The relationships you build with your professors will be some of the most important ones you create during your college career.

      This really stood out to me because of how important it is to have a good relationship with your professor. In high school most students only talk to teachers during class but in college it is important to build connections with professors. Those relationships can help with internships, recommendations, and future career opportunities.

    3. Adjustments to College Are Inevitable

      What stood out to me most is that college involves more than just academic adjustment. Students also have to adjust socially, emotionally, and financially, which can affect their success in school. I think the social and academic adjustments will probably be the biggest challenges for many first-year students including myself.

    4. College not only will expand your mind, but it may also make you a little uncomfortable, challenge your identity, and at times, make you doubt your abilities.

      I like this text because it talks about how college can be challenging and uncomfortable at times. Growth usually happens when people are pushed outside of their comfort zones and try new things. It a good reminder that feeling stressed or unsure sometimes does not mean your failing, it means your learning.

    5. No one succeeds at anything by oneself.

      A lot of students feel like they have to figure everything out on their own but in reality, students use resources and ask for help when they need it to be succesful. This connects to the article about hidden curriculum because knowing where to get help is a big part of doing good in college.

    6. it takes passion and perseverance to be gritty. It also takes resilience, or the ability to bounce back from adversity.

      This section helps me think about college differently because it reminds me that success is not just about being smart. There's going to be challenges and being able to keep going when things get difficult is important. I think developing resilience will help me handle setbacks and stay focused on my goals.

    1. Cool application with the lynx-hare data—always fun to see historical datasets brought back to life.

      Quick question on the binarization: I see you used species-specific medians (Figure 6 caption). Given that ψ and the directional kernel might be pretty sensitive to where you draw that "high/low" line, did you try other cutoffs? Maybe 33rd/67th percentiles, or mean-based?

      Figure 7 shows nice recovery for the median, but I'm particularly curious whether the directional asymmetry (p3 >> p7) holds up under other thresholds—especially given that 1918 reset mentioned in the held-out analysis. That year seems like it could be a stress test for any fixed threshold.

      Would be curious to hear how robust the results are. Thanks!

    1. hus, antibacterial activity can presumably be enhanced by introducing appropriate hydrophobic chains and extending the distance between the urea bond and the aryl group

      The study shows that introducing urea linkages and modifying the distance between the urea group and the aromatic ring improves antibacterial activity, but it does not fully explain the underlying chemical reason. How does increasing the linker length or flexibility influence the binding interactions between the drug and the bacterial ribosome at a molecular level? Would further increasing chain length continue to improve activity, or is there an optimal balance between flexibility and binding specificity?

    1. Compared with 6a, 6i and 6j achieved lowerMIC values, suggesting that the antibacterial activity of thecompounds in which the urea group and benzene ring arelinked by carbon atoms may be higher than that of thecompounds in which they are directly linked.

      This result suggests that increasing the distance between the urea group and the benzene ring improves antibacterial activity. However, the article does not fully explain why this structural change enhances activity. Could this be due to improved flexibility of the molecule, better binding interactions with the ribosome, or changes in hydrophobic interactions?

    1. Jacob Erickson, remet en question l’idée que les bulles de filtres soient négatives

      Je trouve ce point assez passionnant. On touche au paradoxe de la liberté numérique : le même outil qui crée des chambres d'écho toxiques pour le complotisme sert de "safe space" indispensables pour les minorités. Est-ce qu'on peut alors techniquement casser les bulles politiques sans détruire ces refuges identitaires nécessaires ?

    2. « bulle de filtre protectrice ».

      Le concept de "bulle de filtre protectrice" est fascinant, as-tu des exemples concrets de communautés marginalisées qui en bénéficient ? Les personnes LGBTQ+ ou les minorités ethniques seraient de bons cas. Tu as juste à le mentionner entre parenthèses !

    3. <the personalization of information on the Internet is harmful for Internet users, since they are no longer confronted with information that could broaden their interests or challenge their beliefs or opinions>

      Citation ou Mark down ?

    4. <new web-based media have integrated several mechanisms that allow for websites to collect much more precise information. These include “share”, “like”, “subscribe” buttons, etc., which inform algorithms about users’ online behavior.>

      Problème de Markdown ?

    1. Ainsi, l’enjeu n’est plus seulement de cacher son nom, mais de réussir à rester soi-même dans un monde numérique où tout finit par être retouché ou calculé.

      Si nos visages deviennent uniformisés par les noms cachés par des pseudos, est-ce que la singularité humaine ne risque pas de disparaître totalement au profit de comportements dictés par les plateformes ?

    2. l’anonymat total, le fait de ne laisser aucune trace, n’existe pas

      Si l'anonymat total n'existe pas, où se situe la vraie "protection" du pseudonyme ? Côté regard des autres ou côté plateformes et données techniques ?

    3. un outil pour être plus « vrai »

      Je suis d'accord avec cette partie, mais je pense que le pseudonyme ouvre une porte a la haine, la violence verbale et la désinformation. Pouvoir se cacher derrière une identité n'est pas une bonne chose pour les personnes mal intentionnées; on pourrait se demander si, sans pseudonymes, il y aurait autant d'harcelement et de haine sur les réseaux sociaux.

    1. Leurs vidéos ont plus tendance à polariser leurs croyances plutôt qu’à les convaincre que celles-ci ne sont que de fausses théories, finalement par leurs vidéos ils peuvent renforcer les pensées qu’ils combattent

      Comment briser cet effet rebond ? Est-ce qu'une approche moins frontale et plus nuancée sur l'incertitude scientifique permettrait de mieux toucher les publics hostiles ?

    2. Pour que leurs vidéos soient visibles, partagées, commentées et aimées elles se doivent d’être accrocheuses, car elles apparaissent moins sensationnelles que les vidéos relayant des théories du complot ou des fakes news.

      Est ce qu'il y aurait des chiffres à ajouter ici pour comparer les vues entre une vidéo complotiste et une vidéo de debunking ? Ça rendrait l'argument beaucoup plus concret !

    3. L’algorithme de recommandation est important à prendre en compte selon eux, car il favorise les contenus faux.

      Favorise-t-il les contenus faux seulement parce qu'ils sont plus sensationnels? Je trouve que le rôle de l’algorithme est mentionné mais pas assez développé, alors qu’il est central dans la visibilité de ces contenus.

    1. l’attention de manière prioritaire sur les fils d’actualité

      Cette attention prioritaire poussent - elle les créateurs de contenus à scnénariser leurs contenues dans le but de faire du "buzz" afin de mettre en avant leurs vidéos?

    2. La valeur de ces récompenses est considérablement décuplée par leur visibilité publique

      Est ce que la visibilité publique des likes/réactions renforce la pression sociale (validation, statut) ?

    3. Cette viralité renforcée des discours d’indignation ou de haine entraîne une fragmentation profonde de la société post-digitale. En privilégiant ce qui divise pour mieux régner sur l’attention, le mécanisme de récompense transforme la polarisation en une caractéristique structurelle des réseaux sociaux. Ce système finit par influencer la nature même des débats, où la recherche de la “récompense” (le like de son camp) prime sur la recherche d’un terrain d’entente ou d’une vérité partagée.

      Je trouve cette partie très pertinente, et l'on pourrait meme se demander si les plateformes ont un réel interêt financier à moderer la haine, vu que ça génère parfois plus d'audience.

    1. relation parasociale.

      Tu montres que la proximité parasociale rend le message plus crédible et plus mémorable. À partir de quand cette proximité devient-elle un biais qui remplace l’argumentation ?

    2. relation parasociale.

      C'est super intéressant. On voit un vrai paradoxe avec le fait d'utiliser des pseudos pour protéger notre "vrai identité", mais aussi le fait de faire confiance à des stars qu'on ne connaît pas vraiment, juste parce qu'elles ont l'air proches de nous. Est ce que tu penses que cette recherche d'authenticité chez les célébrités est une réponse au manque de naturel des politiciens ?

    3. comment concilier cette logique d’attention, fondée sur l’émotion et l’identification, avec les exigences d’une démocratie fondée sur la délibération, l’argumentation et la connaissance ?

      Question pertinente qui ouvre bien la réflexion

    1. le groupe apprend à associer à une présence.

      Cette identité suit elle le joueur durant toute sa vie de joueur ou elle peut évoluer au fil du temps ? Celui qui était connu pour provoquer devient calme ou inversement.

    1. livres de connaître un succès fulgurant

      Ici tu parle de livres plus anciens ou peu visibles mais est ce qu'il n'y a pas aussi une "surexposition", une "sur recommandation" des livres les plus connu ou d'auteur qui sont très tendance sur BookTok et que des la sortie de leur nouveau livre celui est recommandé par tous ? Je pense notamment à l'autrice Morgane Moncomble, autrice de new romance. Est -ce que cela ne vient pas entraver la dynamique qui est de parler de livre peu connu pour leur donner une vraie visibilité ?

    2. Les réseaux peuvent accélérer une notoriété déjà en construction.

      Est ce qu'il existe des contre exemples d'auteurs qui étaient complètement inconnus et qui sont devenus célèbres uniquement grâce aux réseaux sociaux, sans passer par un média ou autre ?

    1. équilibre entre donner l’illusion de tout partager avec ses abonnés tout en gardant le contrôle.

      Très intéressant. Mais cela ne peut pas avoir des limites et des dangers, car tout ne peut pas être contrôlé ? Par exemple avec la cas de Poupette Kenza, tout partagé en gardant le contrôle peut être difficile ou encore quand tout partager amène à des abonnés très investis dans la vie de l'influenceur voir très intrusifs ? Qu'en pense tu ?

    2. Avez-vous déjà ressenti ce pincement au cœur en faisant défiler votre fil Instagram ou TikTok ? Entre voyages paradisiaques, corps sculptés et réussites éclatantes, la vie des influenceurs semble être un long fleuve tranquille. 127 millions d’influenceurs dans le monde. 127 millions de vies qui semblent plus belles que la vôtre. Mais derrière cette perfection numérique se cache souvent une réalité soigneusement maquillée pour ne paraître que plus belle . Et si l’on regardait derrière le filtre

      tu as mis ton chapô après un tiret ?

    1. Parce que les stéréotypes se manifestent via des images et des vidéos publiées par des influenceurs,

      Les influenceurs reproduisent-ils ces stéréotypes volontairement ou suivent-ils simplement les tendances populaires ?

    1. là où unà inverse

      Ici, tu voulais dire “tandis qu’à l’inverse” ou “à l’inverse”, au lieu de cette construction que je ne comprends pas ? Je pensais que c’était de l’espagnol, mais ensuite tu continues la phrase en français.

    1. contenus jugés problématiques et stéréotypés

      préciser quels sont les contenus, de quel type racistes ? mysogines ?. a t'il était traité comme un influenceur et a du faire une vidéo d'excuse ?

    1. L’image filtrée devient un standard impossible à atteindre, générant frustration et une baisse d’estime de soi, surtout chez les adolescents en pleine construction.

      Alors pourquoi l’humain a tendance à se comparer à des images qu’il sait pourtant artificielles/inatteignables ?

    2. L’enjeu n’est plus seulement de comprendre comment nous nous montrons en ligne, mais de décider collectivement du rapport que nous voulons entretenir avec des images qui peuvent désormais, exister sans nous.

      Ducoup, penses-tu que la régulation des filtres relève plus de l’État, des plateformes ou des utilisateurs eux-mêmes ?

    1. À travers les jeux vidéo, les utilisateurs cherchent à rentrer dans un monde fictif qui les déconnecte de leur réalité, un monde dans lequel ils sont le personnage principal grâce à leur avatar et influent sur la narration, sur les évènements de ce monde.

      Est-ce que cette sensation d’être “le main character” compenserait pas un manque de reconnaissance dans la vie réelle ?

    2. Depuis la montée des jeux vidéo, un stéréotype subsiste, celui qui prétend que les gamers seraient en grande partie des hommes, jeunes, isolés, sans grande interaction avec le monde réel.

      Est-ce que tu penses que les médias ont joué un rôle en construisant cette image faussée du gamer ?

    1. computer generated characters in motion pictures such as Avatar, the Lord of the Rings, and popular Pixar animations where the animated characters replicate gestures made by real human actors.

      I wonder when AI started to be credited for motion capture technology. I read somewhere that one of the first movies to make use of motion capture (perhaps being entirely made through that technology) was The Polar Express (2004). It makes me wonder what constitutes AI and what is advanced technology, which is a key point this article focuses on.

    1. Ce qui est frappant, c’est que cette forme de pouvoir ne cherche pas à convaincre.

      Est-ce qu'on peut encore parler de "vie privée" si toutes nos hésitations et nos comportements invisibles sont enregistrés sans qu'on s'en rende compte ?

      forse invece di defensible ci serve una spiegazione più ampia, tipo Turn scattered evidence into clear, decision-ready outcomes/summaries/? o esempi: “investment memos, underwriting packages, regulatory dossiers” (tailor by page or by industry toggle).

    1. he resulting acetyl-CoA can enter several pathways for the biosynthesis of larger molecules or it can flow into another pathway of central metabolism called the Citric Acid Cycle, sometimes also called the Krebs Cycle, or Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) Cycle.

      I learned this in a lot of detail in IB Bio and when I was going through dissecting steps, I remember at some points there were random H+ coming into the mix and I did not understand where they were coming from because I thought of this process as being isolated. Right now, I am thinking that these H+ probably exist within the environment that the reaction is taking place within and are simply grabbed up?

    2. As the ATP is consumed, the muscle cells are unable to keep up with the demand for respiration, O2 becomes limiting, and NADH accumulates. Cells need to get rid of the excess and regenerate NAD+, so pyruvate serves as an electron acceptor, generating lactate and oxidizing NADH to NAD+. Many bacteria use this pathway as a way to complete the NADH/NAD+ cycle.

      Slightly unrelated to the topic at hand but did this evolve in species after they started becoming more physically active? I wouldn't think that bacteria would have any use for this pathway within this specific context (generating lactic acid to meet demand for energy due to exercise). Also how important is the production of lactic acid; does the acid itself have benefits or is it simply a byproduct/tradeoff?

    1. A variety of mechanisms have emerged over the 3.25 billion years of evolution to create ATP from ADP and AMP

      I think this is implying that ADP came first and then ATP evolved from ADP but this leads me to think about how ADP came into existence. I dont think its a case similar to the phospholipid bilayer where it just happens if theres enough of the needed molecules floating around and without ATP which is what releases energy after turning into ADP, I don't understand its function or importance in organisms before

    1. To solve this problem, those cells often have significantly more mitochondria than cells that do not require such a large constant energy supply.

      So cells are able to create more mitochondria according to energy needs? I thought that the number of mitochondria is dictated by the cell's DNA.

    1. Cortisol plays a key role in mobilizing substances needed for cellular metabolism and stimulates gluconeogenesis or the formation of glucose from noncarbohydrate sources, such as amino acids or free fatty acids in the liver. In addition, cortisol enhances the elevation of blood glucose levels that is promoted by other hormones, such as epinephrine, glucagon, and growth hormone. The effects of cortisol are considered to be permissive for the actions of other hormones. Cortisol also inhibits the uptake and oxidation of glucose by many body cells. Overall, the cortisol-induced increase in carbohydrate metabolism serves to energize the body to cope with the stressor.

      A middle-aged female is presented with COPD, respiratory failure, and prediabetes is being treated with systemic corticosteroids for acute bronchitis. Since starting steroid therapy, her blood glucose levels have remained around 190 mg/dL, and she has a slow-healing wound on her arm. She does not normally require insulin. Which pathophysiological mechanism best explains the delayed wound healing in this patient?

      A. Cortisol activation leads to increased insulin sensitivity and enhanced collagen production.

      B. Elevated cortisol levels cause insulin resistance, impaired leukocyte function, and decreased collagen synthesis.

      C. Acute hypoglycemia resulting in reduced tissue perfusion and delayed cellular repair.

      D. Increased parasympathetic nervous system activity causing accelerated tissue regeneration.

    1. Feel like an imposter. There is actually a name for this condition: imposter syndrome. Students who feel like an imposter are worried that they don’t belong, that someone will “expose them for being a fake.” This feeling is pretty common for anyone who finds themselves in a new environment and is not sure if they have what it takes to succeed. Trust the professionals who work with first-year college students: you do have what it takes, and you will succeed. Just give yourself time to get adjusted to everything.

      Why do some students feel imposter syndrome more than others ?

      Pour la question 3, je ne comprends pas pourquoi on ne transforme pas totalLivres en type str. Parce que cette dernière vaut 545 et est donc de type number, donc moi j'avais d'abord transformé ce number en str, puis l'ai concaténé avec "Notre bibliothèque possède ".

    1. Regarding implants' survival, three implants were lost in the US-while only one implant was lost in the SL-group (P = .6085; Fisher's exact test). Nevertheless, the ultrashort implants were associated with a tripling of the failure rate and uncertainty where the true failure rate is uncertain (relative risk 3.0; confidence interval 0.3-26.8).

      Such a phrasing, seem like two independent contradict statements at first but they are just the same thing twice after reading the main text. The RR numbers are not even showed in the main text.

    1. Panel C additionally controls for baseline values of the dependent variable,as per McKenzie (2012), and for student gender (see Section VIC). When baselinevalues have missing observations, we replace these with zero and include a dummyvariable indicating that the observation was missing.

      so this means we are assuming that some people's starting points are replaced with no financial knowledge? which might increase the positive effect shown by the program??

Dans le passage précédent, on croit comprendre que la demande de stage de Phan Vô Kỵ à la bibliothèque nationale est refusée ; il est pourtant ici question de « retour à Sài Gòn » (depuis la France, croit-on comprendre). Vous citez également le dossier personnel d'employé de Phan Vô Kỵ à la BnF : y a-t-il donc finalement occupé un rôle ? Si c'est le cas, il serait bon de préciser lequel.

    1. Our research has shown that very small children solveproblems using unique mixtures of processes. In contrast with adults,who react differently to objects and to people, young children are likelyto fuse action and speech when responding to both objects and socialbeings. This fusion of activity is analagous to syncretism in perception,which has been described by many developmental psychologists

      Have these conclusions changed? Are they part of current child psychology?
