TL;DR: The prosodie joue un role de "desambiguiseur" semantique as discussed by the authors, en effet la capacite de determiner le sens d'enonces syntaxiquement identiques.
Abstract: La prosodie joue un role de "desambiguiseur" semantique. Elle a en effet la capacite de determiner le sens d'enonces syntaxiquement identiques. Parmi les divers types d'enonces auxquels elle confere du sens, peuvent etre comptees les interjections. Ces dernieres servant essentiellement a exprimer une reaction affective vive, ne peuvent etre interpretees qu'en reference a l'intonation qui leur est appliquee. Mais comment la prosodie donne t-elle du sens aux interjections? C'est la question a laquelle cette etude cherche a repondre en s'interrogeant sur les interjections de l'ile de la Guadeloupe exclusivement formees des segments "an" et/ou "han".

TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach of the current discussion on the insurance on the "new risks" is developed, which makes a point on the notions of risk and uncertainty in order to propose an alternative interpretation of this new risks universe.
Abstract: SThe purpose of this article is to develop a new approach of the current discussion on the insurance on the "new risks". It makes a point on the notions of risk and uncertainty in order to propose an alternative interpretation of this new risks universe. The article then goes on to evaluate the insurability criteria in uncertainty and studies the question of the emerging financial tools to cover large scale ambiguous risks. Lastly, it concludes by defining an "uncertainty management" and lays the foundations of an economic theory of insurability in a such context.

TL;DR: In this paper, a transport-majorization argument that establishes a majorization in the convex order between two densities, based on control of the gradient of a transportation map between them, is introduced.
Abstract: We introduce a transport-majorization argument that establishes a majorization in the convex order between two densities, based on control of the gradient of a transportation map between them. As applications, we give elementary derivations of some delicate Fourier analytic inequalities, which in turn yield geometric "slicing-inequalities" in both continuous and discrete settings. As a further consequence of our investigation we prove that any strongly log-concave probability density majorizes the Gaussian density and thus the Gaussian density maximizes the R\'enyi and Tsallis entropies of all orders among all strongly log-concave densities.

TL;DR: The activity of Network Administrators is described, in analyzing the ways used to manage the critical situations and alerts which punctuate the ordinary operations of computer networks, to identify different kinds of risks and the manners to anticipate and manage them.
Abstract: Cet article vise a decrire l’activite des administrateurs-reseaux en portant l’analyse sur les modes de traitement des situations critiques et des alertes qui emaillent le fonctionnement ordinaire des reseaux informatiques. Notre materiau empirique nous a conduits a recenser les differents risques et a reperer les facons de les anticiper et de les gerer. Pour identifier, qualifier et rendre tangibles des vulnerabilites, ces professionnels doivent mener l’enquete. Leur travail souffre d’un manque de reconnaissance de la part des autres acteurs qui entretiennent souvent un rapport magique au «reseau» lequel evoluerait independamment des actions des personnes. Les administrateurs s’efforcent d’enroler les usagers pour construire une vigilance collective. Ils esperent ainsi rendre lisible leur activite et solliciter un sens de la responsabilite vis-a-vis des dispositifs techniques. Dans cette perspective, le virtuel n’a pas tue le reel mais lui a, au contraire, donne une pregnance encore plus forte.
