Le présent article traite de la problématique de la poésie et de la prose comme deux productions artistiques unies par l’appartenance à un domaine commun, mais différenciées par des caractéristiques singulières. Dans cette optique, nous opterons pour une démarche chronologique qui atteste de la dynamique de la pensée humaine en matière de production artistique. Pour nous inscrire dans la mobilité en question et respecter le principe de la contextualisation de tout discours, nous partirons de «La Poétique» et «La Rhétorique» d’Aristote pour passer en revue les conceptions données à ces deux genres artistiques par Barthes, Genette, Jakobson, Sartre, Todorov, et tant d’autres théoriciens.

Alors que la professionnalisation de toute formation exige la prise en considération des besoins des formés et des exigences de la profession, l’Algérie continue d’importer des offres de formation con\c cues dans d’autres pays et dédiées à des publics particuliers. Distincts de ces publics, les formés algériens se préparant à enseigner les langues étrangères ont besoin de formations plus adaptées à leurs attentes et à celles des acteurs impliqués. Ce résultat, auquel nous avons abouti, suite à l’analyse des maquettes de formation, nous a conduits à proposer des réflexions et un profil psychologique-type pouvant améliorer la formation des enseignants et leur future pratique.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a model for sustainable manufacturing by adopting a combined approach using AHP, fuzzy TOPSIS and fuzzy EDAS methods. The proposed model aims to identify and prioritize the sustainable factors and technical requirements that help in improving the sustainability of manufacturing processes. Design/methodology/approach The proposed approach integrates both AHP, Fuzzy EDAS and Fuzzy TOPSIS. AHP method is used to generate the weights of the sustainable factors. Fuzzy EDAS and Fuzzy TOPSIS are applied to rank and determine the application priority of a set of improvement approaches. The ranks carried out from each MCDM approach is assessed by computing the spearman’s correlation coefficient. Findings The results reveal the proposed model is efficient in sustainable factors and the technical requirements prioritizing. In addition, the results carried out from this study indicate the high efficiency of AHP, Fuzzy EDAS and Fuzzy TOPSIS in decision making. Besides, the results indicate that the model provides a useable methodology for managers’ staff to select the desirable sustainable factors and technical requirements for sustainable manufacturing. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of this paper is that the proposed approach investigates an average number of factors and technical requirements. Originality/value This paper investigates an integrated MCDM approach for sustainable factors and technical requirements prioritization. In addition, the presented work pointed out that AHP, Fuzzy EDAS and Fuzzy TOPSIS approach can manipulate several conflict attributes in a sustainable manufacturing context.

Smart grid is an emerging system providing many benefits in digitizing the traditional power distribution systems. However, the added benefits of digitization and the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in smart grids also poses threats to its reliable continuous operation due to cyberattacks. Cyber–physical smart grid systems must be secured against increasing security threats and attacks. The most widely studied attacks in smart grids are false data injection attacks (FDIA), denial of service, distributed denial of service (DDoS), and spoofing attacks. These cyberattacks can jeopardize the smooth operation of a smart grid and result in considerable economic losses, equipment damages, and malicious control. This paper focuses on providing an extensive survey on defense mechanisms that can be used to detect these types of cyberattacks and mitigate the associated risks. The future research directions are also provided in the paper for efficient detection and prevention of such cyberattacks.

Fuel cell technology has been rapidly developed in the last decade owing to its clean characteristic and high efficiency. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are increasingly used in transportation applications and small stationary applications; however, the cost and the unsatisfying durability of the PEMFC stack have limited their successful commercialization and market penetration. In recent years, thanks to the availability and the quality of emerging data of PEMFCs, digitization is happening to offer possibilities to increase the productivity and the flexibility in fuel cell applications. Therefore, it is crucial to clarify the potential of digitization measures, how and where they can be applied, and their benefits. This paper focuses on the degradation performance of the PEMFC stacks and develops a data-driven intelligent method to predict both the short-term and long-term degradation. The dilated convolutional neural network is for the first time applied for predicting the time-dependent fuel cell performance and is proved to be more efficient than other recurrent networks. To deal with the long-term performance uncertainty, a conditional neural network is proposed. Results have shown that the proposed method can predict not only the degradation tendency, but also contain the degradation behaviour dynamics.

Logistics is one of the main tactics that countries and businesses are improving in order to increase profits. Another prominent theme in today’s logistics is emerging technologies. Today’s developments in logistics and industry are how to profit from collected and accessible data to use it in various processes such as decision making, production plan, logistics delivery programming, and so on, and more specifically deep learning methods. The aim of this paper is to identify the various applications of deep learning in logistics through a systematic literature review. A set of research questions had been identified to be answered by this article.

The Ki-67 proliferation index is an essential biomarker that helps pathologists to diagnose and select appropriate treatments. However, automatic evaluation of Ki-67 is difficult due to nuclei overlapping and complex variations in their properties. This paper proposes an integrated pipeline for accurate automatic counting of Ki-67, where the impact of nuclei separation techniques is highlighted. First, semantic segmentation is performed by combining the Squeez and Excitation Resnet and Unet algorithms to extract nuclei from the background. The extracted nuclei are then divided into overlapped and non-overlapped regions based on eight geometric and statistical features. A marker-based Watershed algorithm is subsequently proposed and applied only to the overlapped regions to separate nuclei. Finally, deep features are extracted from each nucleus patch using Resnet18 and classified into positive or negative by a random forest classifier. The proposed pipeline’s performance is validated on a dataset from the Department of Pathology at Hôpital Nord Franche-Comté hospital.

The increase in electricity theft has become one of the main concerns of power distribution networks. Indeed, electricity theft could not only lead to financial losses, but also leads to reputation damage by reducing the quality of supply. With advanced sensing technologies of metering infrastructures, data collection of electricity consumption enables data-driven methods to emerge in such non-technical loss detections as an alternative to traditional experience-based human-centric approaches. In this context, such fraud prediction problems are generally a thematic of missing patterns, class imbalance, and higher level of cardinality where there are many possibilities that a single feature can assume. Therefore, this article is introduced specifically to solve data representation problem and increase the sparseness between different data classes. As a result, deeper representations than deep learning networks are introduced to repeatedly merge the learning models themselves into a more complex architecture in a sort of recurrent expansion. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed recurrent expansion of deep learning (REDL) approach, a realistic dataset of electricity theft is involved. Consequently, REDL has achieved excellent data mapping results proven by both visualization and numerical metrics and shows the ability of separating different classes with higher performance. Another important REDL feature of outliers correction has been also discovered in this study. Finally, comparison to some recent works also proved superiority of REDL model.

Due to advanced monitoring technologies including the plug-in of the cyber and physical layers on the Internet, cyber-physical systems are becoming more vulnerable than ever to cyberthreats leading to possible damage of the system. Consequently, many researchers have devoted to studying detection and identification of such threats in order to mitigate their drawbacks. Among used tools, Machine Learning (ML) has become dominant in the field due to many usability characteristics including the blackbox models availability. In this context, this paper is dedicated to the detection of cyberattacks in Smart Grid (SG) networks which uses industrial control systems (ICS), through the integration of ML models assembled on a small scale. More precisely, it therefore aims to study an electric traction substation system used for the railway industry. The main novelty of our contribution lies in the study of the behaviour of more realistic data than the traditional studies previously shown in the state of the art literature by investigating even more realistic types of attacks. It also emulates data analysis and a larger feature space under most commonly used connectivity protocols in today’s industry such as S7Comm and Modbus.

Strengthening production plants and process control functions contribute to a global improvement of manufacturing systems because of their cross-functional characteristics in the industry. Companies established various innovative and operational strategies; there is increasing competitiveness among them and increasing companies’ value. Machine learning (ML) techniques become an intelligent enticing option to address industrial issues in the current manufacturing sector since the emergence of Industry 4.0 and the extensive integration of paradigms such as big data and high computational power. Implementing a system able to identify faults early to avoid critical situations in the production line and its environment is crucial. Therefore, powerful machine learning algorithms are performed for fault diagnosis, real-time data classification, and predicting the state of functioning of the production line. Random forests proved to be a better classifier with an accuracy of 97%, compared to the SVM model’s accuracy which is 94.18%. However, the K-NN model’s accuracy is about 93.83%. An accuracy of 80.25% is achieved by the logistic regression model. About 83.73% is obtained by the decision tree’s model. The excellent experimental results reached on the random forest model demonstrated the merits of this implementation in the production performance, ensuring predictive maintenance and avoiding wasting energy.

Many machine learning-based methods have been widely applied to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and are achieving high accuracy. However, they are black-box methods that are unable to explain the reasons behind the diagnosis. The trade-off between accuracy and interpretability of diagnosis models is important, especially for human disease. This work aims to propose an approach for generating rule-based models for CAD diagnosis. The classification rule generation is modeled as combinatorial optimization problem and it can be solved by means of metaheuristic algorithms. Swarm intelligence algorithms like Equilibrium Optimizer Algorithm (EOA) have demonstrated great performance in solving different optimization problems. Our present study comes up with a Novel Discrete Equilibrium Optimizer Algorithm (NDEOA) for the classification rule generation from training CAD dataset. The proposed NDEOA is a discrete version of EOA, which use a discrete encoding of a particle for representing a classification rule; new discrete operators are also defined for the particle’s position update equation to adapt real operators to discrete space. To evaluate the proposed approach, the real world Z-Alizadeh Sani dataset has been employed. The proposed approach generate a diagnosis model composed of 17 rules, among them, five rules for the class “Normal” and 12 rules for the class “CAD”. In comparison to nine black-box and eight white-box state-of-the-art approaches, the results show that the generated diagnosis model by the proposed approach is more accurate and more interpretable than all white-box models and are competitive to the black-box models. It achieved an overall accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 93.54%, 80% and 100% respectively; which show that, the proposed approach can be successfully utilized to generate efficient rule-based CAD diagnosis models.
