Societe Mathematique De Tunisie Newsletter Avril 2021 SOCIETE MATHEMATIQUE DE TUNISIE NEWSLETTER AVRIL 2021 Ce bulletin est aussi disponible sur http://www.tms.rnu.tn Pour contribuer une information ou une annonce, prière envoyer votre texte à: [email protected] Nouvelles Notifications Appel à candidature au « Prix jeune chercheur » 2021: L'Académie Tunisienne des Sciences, des Lettres et des Arts Beït al-Hikma annonce le lancement de la troisième session du « Prix jeune chercheur » dans chacun des domaines des Sciences mathématiques, physiques et naturelles, des Sciences humaines et sociales, des Lettres, des Arts et des Études islamiques. Le dernier délai pour le dépôt des candidatures est fixé au 30 avril 2021 Le règlement et les conditions d'attribution du Prix sont disponibles sur le site web de l’Académie: www.beitalhikma.tn Un monde meilleur pour les mathématiciens : Une contribution à la Journée internationale des mathématiques (IDM 2021), dimanche 14 mars 2021, dont le thème est Mathématiques pour un monde meilleur. Comme toutes les entreprises humaines, les mathématiques s’épanouissent mieux dans un environnement libre, ouvert et tolérant qui favorise le libre échange d’information scientifique et des collaborations libres par-delà les frontières et les cultures. Malheureusement, de nombreux collègues n’ont pas droit à de telles conditions, et certains d’entre eux sont privés d’une manière ou d’une autre de leurs libertés et de leurs droits fondamentaux. Le cas d’Azat Miftakhov illustre les problèmes des droits humains en Russie. Miftakhov, un docto- rant en mathématiques à l’université d’état de Moscou, a été arrêté en février 2019 à Moscou sur de prétendues charges de vandalisme, liées à un acte de protestation politique. Miftakhov, qui a plaidé non coupable pour ces charges, a été maintenu en détention provisoire pendant près de deux ans et soumis par les autorités à des mauvais traitements marqués et peut-être à de la tor- ture. Malgré le soutien de nombreuses organisations mathématiques et scientifiques, un tribunal de Moscou a jugé le 18 janvier 2021 que Miftakhov était coupable d’hooliganisme et lui a octroyé une peine manifestement excessive de six ans de prison. Tuna Altınel, professeur de mathématiques à Lyon, a participé en 2019 à une réunion publique à Lyon au sujet de massacres présumés au sud-est de la Turquie. Le consul local de Turquie a rendu compte de cette réunion aux autorités turques d’Ankara, mentionnant que le Dr. Altınel avait servi d’observateur. Une accusation d’appartenance à un groupe terroriste armé s’en est suivie et lors d’une visite en avril en Turquie , son pays natal, le passeport d’Altınel lui a été confisqué. Il a ensuite été arrêté et placé en détention provisoire pendant 81 jours. Les charges ont été ulté- rieurement réduites à celle de propagande pour un groupe terroriste. Dr. Altınel a été acquitté de cette dernière accusation en janvier 2020, mais son passeport n’a pas été restitué ; il demeure dans l’incapacité de quitter la Turquie. La mathématicienne et militante égyptienne des droits humains Laila Soueif n’a aucun répit. Elle et sa famille ne connaissent que trop bien la répression politique en Egypte. Son fils Alaa, qui avait été une icône de la Révolution égyptienne en 2011, a été emprisonné à plusieurs reprises et il est dé- tenu depuis 2019 à la prison Tora, et privé de visites et de communication. Laila Soueif a entamé un sit-in devant la prison pour demander qu’elle soit autorisée à recevoir une lettre d’Alaa. Elle y a été physiquement attaquée, ainsi que ses filles qui l’avaient rejointe. Lorsqu’elles sont allées rapporter l’agression aux autorités, l’une d’elles, Sanaa, a été emmenée par des policiers en civil et empri- sonnée. Travel grants for ICM 2022: It has been a longstanding tradition that the organizers of the ICM of- fer support in order that mathematicians from developing countries can participate at the ICM. For the ICM 2022 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, the organizers have generously announced two different grant programs: The Chebyshev Grants: The Chebyshev Grants program provides full support (including airfare and local expenses in Saint Petersburg) to 1000 participants from developing countries. Priority will be given to applications received by 31 March 2021. The Kovalevskaya Grants: will cover the congress fee and local expenses for up to 1,000 early ca- reer mathematicians from developed countries, on the condition that their home country under- takes the selection of recipients and covers their travel. Specifically, the grants cover the registra- tion fee, accommodation, and meals for the duration of the congress. Several mathematical societies have already confirmed their participation. We encourage you as Adhering Organizations to contact the local organizers at <[email protected]> about organizing this in your country. Finally, please note that the organizers have extended the deadline for applications for the Cheby- shev Grants (targeted for developing countries) to 31 May 2021, with applications re- ceived before this date being given priority. Please refer to the website https://icm2022.org/grants where the latest information will appear regarding the procedure for all grants available for the ICM 2022. Azat Miftakhov is named an honorary student of Paris-Saclay University: The Hadamard Doctoral School of Mathematics at Paris-Saclay University issued the following statement on March 4, 2021 naming Azat Miftakhov an honorary student and welcoming him to complete his doctorate under good conditions once he is released. The Hadamard Doctoral School of Mathematics (École doctorale mathématique Hadamard – EDMH) protests against the imprisonment of Azat Miftakhov since February 2019, and his recent sentence to 6 years in prison. Azat Miftakhov, a doctoral student in mathematics at Moscow State University, was arrested in February 2019 and held in detention on questionable charges. He was sentenced on January 18, 2021 to 6 years in a penal colony. Memorial Human Rights Centre considers that Azat Miftakhov is condemned because of his political opinions. The EDMH joins international committee of mathe- maticians formed in his favor and with several national mathematical societies (AMS, SMF, Unione matematica italiana, Sociedade Brasileira de Matemática), to demand his immediate release, and the dropping of the charges against him. In this context, the direction of the EDMH names Azat Miftakhov an honorary student of the doctoral school. Once he is released, it is ready to welcome him so that he can complete his doctorate under good conditions. https://caseazatmiftakhov.org/2021/03/04/azat-miftakhov-is-named-an-honorary-student-of- paris-saclay-university/ A statement from the International Mathematical Union: The IMU has been approached by several groups and individuals regarding recent events in Russia, events that are of considerable concern to the IMU.

  • Pterossauros Nasciam Sem a Capacidade De Voar
    NOTAS 1 Pterossauros nasciam sem a capacidade de voar Os filhotes de pterossauros, répteis ala- dos já extintos, contemporâneos dos dinossauros, rompiam seus ovos prontos para andar, mas não para bater asas e ga- nhar os ares. Assim que nasciam, os ossos Ovos fossilizados da cintura estavam formados. Isso permi- do pterossauro Hamipterus tia que eles se apoiassem sobre as patas tianshanensis e traseiras e dessem os primeiros passos. reconstituição Porém, a estrutura óssea que dá suporte artística da espécie aos movimentos do músculo peitoral, essencial para sustentar o voo, ainda não estava totalmente constituída. Os recém- -nascidos também não tinham todos os dentes, limitação que provavelmente os impedia de se alimentar sozinhos. Para sobreviver até que os ossos de apoio das asas e os dentes estivessem completos, os filhotes tinham de permanecer um bom tempo sob o cuidado dos pais. Esse cenário, sobre o desenvolvimento embrio- nário e os primeiros movimentos, ainda tímidos, dos filhotes de pterossauros, é sugerido em um estudo feito por paleon- tólogos brasileiros e chineses (Science, 1º de dezembro). “O descompasso entre o desenvolvimento dos ossos da cintura e os da musculatura peitoral indica que os pterossauros não conseguiam voar ao nascer”, comenta o paleontólogo Ale- xander Kellner, do Museu Nacional da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), um dos autores do trabalho. Com o auxílio de imagens de tomografia com- putadorizada, o grupo analisou o interior de 16 ovos de pterossauros da espécie Hamipterus tianshanensis, que viveu há cerca de 120 milhões de anos na bacia de Turpan-Hami, no noroeste da China.

  • February 5, 2021 AMS and ICM 20221 the Next International Congress Of
    February 5, 2021 AMS and ICM 20221 The next International Congress of Mathematicians is scheduled to take place in Saint Petersburg, Russia in July 2022. The upcoming ICM represents unique challenges for the American Mathematical Society in terms of its commitments to upholding fundamental human rights, promoting free, open, tolerant and demo- cratic society as well as ensuring free exchange of scientific information and free scientific collaborations across borders and cultures. For the last twenty years Rus- sia labored under the increasingly oppressive and authoritarian regime of Vladimir Putin. Internal opposition has been suppressed and effectively purged from political representation. The government controls most of mass media and, increasingly, the internet as well. Opposition leaders, such as Alexei Navalny, have been subjected to persecution, murder and assassination attempts by government agents, both at home and abroad. The state exercises increasingly repressive and discriminatory anti-LGBT policies, including the infamous 2013 \gay propaganda" law. The case of Azat Miftakhov exemplifies Russia's human rights problems. Mif- takhov, a mathematics PhD student at the Moscow State University, was arrested in February 2019 in Moscow on a putative vandalism charge related to a political protest action. The only physical damage during that protest was a broken window. Miftakhov, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, was held in pretrial confinement for almost two years and subjected to significant mistreatment and possible torture by the authorities. Numerous mathematical and scientific organizations, including the AMS, and other groups of academics, both internationally and within Rus- sia, spoke in support of Miftakhov. Nevertheless, on January 18, 2021 a court in Moscow found Miftakhov guilty of hooliganism and handed him a grossly excessive sentence of six years in prison.

  • Researching Academic Freedom Researching Researching Academic Freedom
    UNIVERSITY PRESS International human rights law protects the freedom indispensable for scientific research – a prerequisite for innovation and the pursuit of knowledge. However, empirical research on the protection and violation of academic freedom remains scarce. This volume seeks to fill that gap by introducing case study guidelines as well as four sample case studies in which the authors applied these guidelines in their research on academic freedom in Brazil, Egypt, Ireland, and Russia. The book also includes an inventory of available data sources on academic freedom, providing guidance on how to utilize and contextualize these data in country- level assessments. The research guidelines and case studies presented here are the result of an international, collaborative endeavor. Collectively, the authors seek to promote systematic, comparable research on academic freedom, while also fostering a community of scholars committed to developing this nascent field of interdisciplinary human rights research.
