“…While much of the scholarly literature on religious, cultural, and education reform in Russia’s Muslim communities has viewed the change in women’s roles to be a decades-long process, this article argues that in the brief period of the Great War, the ideal vision of the Volga-Ural Muslim woman underwent more profound changes than it had in the previous decades. Through news articles, historical fiction, and calls to community service, the male and female writers promoted an image of a politically and socially-active woman, who would do her part for the war while being a virtuous Muslim. …”

Les mécanismes législatifs de l’autoritarisme algérien face au hirak : entre répression de la mobilisation et prévention de toute organisation du mouvement by Massensen Cherbi

“…To respond to the specificities of the hirak, this arsenal was reinforced, as soon the confinement that followed the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic was announced, with the promulgation of new laws targeting “passive solidarity crime” and discourse of hatred or “fake news”.

Sub-topic detection and tracking based on dependency connection weights for vector space model by Xue-guang ZHOU, Fei GAO, Yan SUN

“…Aiming at the phenomenon that there are abrupt reports,similar topics and abundant levels of subtopics in the news,a novel method based on relationship analysis using dependent sentence pattern was proposed for sub-topic detection and tracking (sTDT),which constructed feature dimensions to generate the global vectors according to the increment of TF-IDF,and then created the partial adjoin map based on the connection weights within the time window and decreased the dimensions through dependent sentence pattern.Finally,a novel method for sTDT computing was built with adjoins dictionary weights and time threshold attenuation.Experiments show that the proposed method transferrs the text from linear to plane structure,and extracts the subtopics effectively,of which the minimum DET cost is reduced by at least 2.2 percent than that of classical methods.…”
