The Federalism Canons As Ordinary Interpretation, Anthony J. Bellia Jr., Bradford R. Clark

Northwestern University Law Review

Scholars remain generally skeptical of substantive canons of statutory interpretation even as courts continue to employ such canons in important cases. Unlike semantic canons, which help judges discern the best meaning of statutory text in context, substantive canons provide tiebreakers when the text is unclear or require special clarity in order for the text to perform certain functions. Among the substantive canons, the so-called “federalism canons” have been singled out for special scrutiny. The federalism canons are a family of canons that require courts to avoid interpreting an act of Congress to divest states of certain sovereign rights or powers—including …

Making Meaning: Representations, Learning, And Contemporary Imaginaries, Nadia Kaaouas, Taoufik Ait Bouchgour

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

This issue explores meaning-making in contemporary societies by foregrounding representations, learning, and cultural imaginaries. Across digital media, cultural practices (including orally transmitted traditions), literary studies, pedagogy, and linguistics, the contributions show how oral, written, and visual forms of expression shape social relations, construct identities, and rework inherited cultural patterns. Literature is approached as a space for self-reinvention; schooling as a laboratory for skills and learner motivation; and linguistic analysis as an essential tool for the circulation of knowledge. Complementarily, heritage-oriented perspectives emphasize that the viability of cultural practices depends on ongoing transmission across generations.

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

On digital social networks and Instagram in particular, female influencers mainly use images to communicate with their audience. A form of visual communication that allows them to enter a process of digital self-presentation. On Instagram, the female influencers in our sample are depicted as perfect, slim body and attractive.

A visual/virtual representation that can encourage women to seek an unrealistic physical perfection maintaining, in order to achieve this ideal, a set of stereotypes that persist in the social imaginary. In this present project, we will study the images …

French And Amazighity A Through The History Of Maghreb, Mohamed Quitout

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

The author of this article intends to focus on a rarely mentioned subject, that of France's relationship to Amazigh and Amazigh. It is true that we have often heard about "the Berber policy of France". But did this policy really exist, a linguistic policy understood in the sense of a reasoned and finalized strategy leading to concrete actions on the key lands of Amazighity, namely the Amazigh language and culture. This paper will attempt to answer this paper by exploring the question throughout the period of the French colonization of Morocco and Algeria.

Code-Switching And Figuration Of A Cosmopolitan World In « Le Paradis Français », N’Guessan Konan Lazare

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Among African authors, the code-switching is manifested, most of the time, in the desire to share with the foreign reader some tropicalities that remind, at the very least, of their double culturality or their bilingualism. They seek, by this means, to make the others discover their cultural and linguistic environments. This didactic concern forces the legitimation of metalinguistic procedures in the structure of their writing. But in Le Paradis français by Bandaman Maurice, the use of code-switching seems to obey other considerations than the diffusion of some tropicalities. Not involving metalinguistic constraints, priorities in others, it reveals, on the contrary, …

The Status Of The Preposition Between “Full” And “Empty” Semantics, Houda Abaylou

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Studies on the preposition within the different linguistic theories reveal a great divergence of perspective. Two main positions emerge from this debate. The first approach refuses to assign a semantic content to the preposition and considers it as an empty element whose function is purely structural. The second approach, on the contrary, considers that the preposition has a semantic value that contributes to the interpretation of utterances. This article examines these two positions and highlights the limits of each, while stressing the need for an integrative approach capable of accounting for both structural and semantic dimensions.

From Operations To Outcomes: The Role Of Industry 4.0 In Customer Management And Financial Performance, Hong Long Chen

Management Dynamics

Despite extensive research on Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies, relatively little attention has been given to their impact on financial performance at the firm level. This study proposes a model to investigate the links between I4.0 implementation level (I4.0IL), supply chain management performance (SCMP), customer management performance (CMP), and company financial outcomes using bootstrap-based structural equation modeling (SEM) with data from 91 companies across various sectors. The results of the bootstrap-based SEM with 1,000 resamples show that SCMP significantly influences both CMP and company financial performance, and CMP also significantly impacts financial performance. While I4.0IL does not significantly amplify the effects …

Breath Back, Bronte Alston

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Breath Back is a collection of poems written throughout the first 18 months of a doctoral study based in the petro-state of Western Australia. As a Wadjela (non-Indigenous) climate justice activist-researcher, Alston adopts poetic autoethnography as an embodied, intuitive praxis to critically and reflexively examine limitations, positionality, power, privilege, and voice throughout their research process. This collection is deeply intertwined with Alston’s deepening connection to Country, specifically through the seasonal cycles of Wardandi Noongar Boodja (Country) in south-west Western Australia.

Segmenting Religious Tourists Based On Google Maps Reviews Using Latent Semantic Analysis And Hierarchical Clustering, Senthilkumaran Piramanayagam, Jyothi Mallya, Kartikeya Bolar

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

Researchers in the tourism industry and academics are interested in analysing and extracting conclusions from user-generated data because they offer valuable insights into visitors’ motives, experiences, and consumption behaviour. However, religious tourists’ data have rarely been explored specifically in segmentation studies. Therefore, this study aims to segment religious tourists based on their Google Map reviews using Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and hierarchical clustering. These analyses have resulted in three distinct segments: heritage explorers, aesthetes, and self-transcendence seekers. While heritage explorers are interested in learning about the cultural and historical significance of a site, aesthetes appreciate its beauty and art, while …

The Adverse Mental Health Effects Caused By Acculturative Stress And Its Influence On First- And Second-Year Immigrant Students In The United States, Sara Sparks

Student Theses and Dissertations

Relevant literature points out the adverse effects of acculturative stress, particularly on the mental health of immigrants. Recent studies also emphasize that immigrant students are academically behind their U.S.-born, native English-speaking peers. However, few studies explore how the adverse mental health effects of acculturative stress influence immigrants’ academic performance. This gap in literature is significant given the academic disparities. Applying Berry et al.’s (1987) acculturative stress conceptual framework, as well as Sirin et al.’s (2019) framework on the mental health outcomes caused by acculturative stress, research was conducted focusing on factors that cause acculturative stress, its mental health implications, and …

Ai-Driven Automatic Fault Detection Systems: Revolutionizing Modern Smart Grids, Aravind Sanikommu

Student Theses and Dissertations

The increasing complexity of current power systems, resulting from the integration of distributed generators and renewable energy sources, necessitates intelligent and adaptive fault detection schemes. Traditional protection using impedance and phasor analysis is usually weak when operating in nonlinear and transient operating conditions. Consequently, the tools of Data-driven fault classification and decision-making have gained strength under artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to improve grid reliability. This thesis is a proposal of an automatic fault detection and classification system based on AI applied to a smart mini-grid setting built in MATLAB/Simulink. A complete set of voltage and current data …
