AbstractComparative Study of Lexical Combinations in Two Fields of Knowledge (aeronautics and philosophy) and Discrimination Between Lexical Collocations and Conceptual Collocations — This paper deals with word combinations (also called collocations, phraseological units, cooccurrences, etc.) in two different LSPs (Language for Specific Purposes or Special languages) — aeronautics and philosophy. First, a general study of different scientists' approaches in general language and in LSP is provided. Then, the focus is on the discrimination between lexical collocations vs conceptual collocations in LSPs. Finally, an overview of the methodology we used with our master thesis (still in progress) is discussed, along with the presentation of some results.

SummaryTo be informed about the last publications recently published or to produce a bibliography in a given thematic field is essential for researchers in the biomedical field. If the use of Internet information searching tools such as «Google» or « Alltheweb » makes possible to discover a great part of the grey literature, bibliographic databases like Embase, Current Contents, Biosis or Medline via PubMed are essential tools to locate scientific articles. Among these bibliographic databases, Medline PubMed, thanks to its free access, is the most used. However, a correct utilization of the various functionalities proposed (thesaurus MeSH, systematization of bibliographic searches…), and consequently the quality of bibliographic researches carried out in this database, requires to master elementary knowledge which are exposed in this article.

In less ten years, local complementary currencies have proliferated throughout France, and a dynamic ecosystem has been established. Although nearly all of these currencies developed by issuing paper money, they are now increasingly transitioning to a digital form. This article notes the issues at stake in this transition and discusses the ways in which local currencies and cryptocurrencies may be complementary or in competition in the French context, which has been marked over the past few years by the upsurge in the number of fintech actors. Although the adoption of nonneutral technological solutions has established a logic of increasing returns, France’s local currency ecosystem is proving resilient enough to overcome the risks associated with these external players acting out of financial interest.

Intellectual property is a legal protection granted to certain producers of new knowledge (authors, inventors…) holding exclusive rights over the exploitation of their creations (works, inventions…). As information and communication technologies become increasingly widespread and the practice of sharing (content or expertise) common, the principle of exclusivity and its effectiveness are continually challenged in theory and in fact. This article recalls the origins of intellectual property and the debates surrounding it ; subsequently, it takes into account the case of copyright protection with respect to digital technologies.
