COMPARISON OF VALUE ORIENTATIONS OF STUDENTS IN THE 10YEAR TIME INTERVAL: METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS by Galina I. Saganenko, Alexey E. Geger

“…The authors point to the prevalence in the value structure of both student groups of the values of private life and the weak expression of humanities and social values, such as patriotism, freedom and democracy, environmental concerns and nature protection.…”

Linear stability of a time-dependent, spherically symmetric background in beyond Horndeski theory and the speed of gravity waves by S. Mironov, M. Sharov, V. Volkova

“…In this general setting we derive speeds of propagation in both radial and angular directions for the only dynamical degree of freedom in the parity odd sector. We also briefly comment on the propagation speeds of the parity even modes over a dynamical, spherically symmetric background. …”

Nonlinear Predictive Sliding Mode Control for Active Suspension System by Dazhuang Wang, Dingxuan Zhao, Mingde Gong, Bin Yang

“…Firstly, a seven-degree-of-freedom active suspension model is established considering the nonlinear effects of springs and dampers; and secondly, the dynamic model is expanded in the time domain, and the corresponding predictive sliding mode control is established. …”

New Active Control Method Based on Using Multiactuators and Sensors Considering Uncertainty of Parameters by Babak Karimpour, Ali Keyhani, Javad Alamatian

“…The proposed method does not depend on the type of dynamic load and it could be applied to control structures with multidegrees of freedom. For numerical verification of proposed method, several criterions such as maximum displacement, maximum kinetic energy, maximum drift, and time history of controlled force and displacement are evaluated in two- , five- , and seven-story shear buildings, subjected to the harmonic load, impact force, and the Elcentro base excitation. …”

La vie scolaire comme espace d’éducation entre 1960 et 1968 : liberté, conformité, neutralité ? by Céline Chauvigné

“…The French school system and its traditional form of schooling (Vincent, 1980) were somewhat disrupted when the school was opened up to a larger number of pupils in a bid to democratise and then massify it, making order, discipline and the whole educational system an obsolete vision (Prost 2007) that could no longer suit the new public eager for freedom and to assert itself as a subject of law. …”
