Sommario/riassunto

Goût pour les jeux vidéo et goût pour le sport sont souvent opposés : en termes de types d’activités (les premiers d’intérieur, passifs, peu propices à la socialisation, le second de dépense physique, de plein air, bon pour la santé, etc.) ; en termes de genre : les garçons seraient les plus « touchés » par le monde virtuel ; enfin en termes de « politique », la consommation des jeux vidéo étant opposée aux « vraies » pratiques culturelles… Une analyse secondaire de l’enquête sur les loisirs culturels des 6-14 ans fournit un éclairage précis sur la façon dont pratiques numériques virtuelles et pratiques réelles s’opposent, se substituent ou s’articulent : elle met à jour les ressorts qui sont communs aux goûts pour les deux types d’activité et révèle une forte dimension identitaire. Elle met également en évidence la permanence



des déterminants sexués en matière de loisirs. La comparaison des interactions qui se nouent dans le monde réel avec les interactions virtuelles qui caractérisent les jeux vidéo dessine de nouvelles approches des phénomènes d’identification affective dans ces derniers. L’importance accordée à l’esthétique des corps virtuels pourrait ainsi être rapprochée de celle prise par l’apparence corporelle dans la construction identitaire des jeunes. Loin de constituer une pratique virtuelle séparée du reste de leur vie, qui serait porteuse d’addiction ou de comportements violents, les jeux vidéo prennent place dans une élaboration de soi à la fois personnelle et sociale qui facilite l’identification à un genre sexué et à un univers culturel.  Contrasts are often drawn between the liking for video games and the liking for sport. First, as regards the kind of activity: one passive, indoors, cut off from others; the other physically active, outdoor, healthy, etc. Second, as regards gender: boys are considered to be more allured by the virtual dimension.Third, as regards policy: video game playing is often set against “real” cultural practices.

Sommario/riassunto

Nowadays, mankind is living in a cyber world. Modern technologies involve fast communication links between potentially billions of devices through complex networks (satellite, mobile phone, Internet, Internet



of Things (IoT), etc.). The main concern posed by these entangled complex networks is their protection against passive and active attacks that could compromise public security (sabotage, espionage, cyber-terrorism) and privacy. This Special Issue “Cryptography and Its Applications in Information Security” addresses the range of problems related to the security of information in networks and multimedia communications and to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industrials interested by such questions. It consists of eight peer-reviewed papers, however easily understandable, that cover a range of subjects and applications related security of information.

Sommario/riassunto

Over the past several decades major advances in accelerators have resulted from breakthroughs in accelerator science and accelerator technology. After the introduction of a new accelerator physics concept or the implementation of a new technology, a leap in accelerator performance followed. A well-known representation of these advances is the Livingston chart, which shows an exponential growth of accelerator performance over the last seven or eight decades. One of the breakthrough accelerator technologies that support this exponential growth is superconducting technology. Recognizing this major
