Protective role of selenium against bisphenol-A induced oxidative stress, cytokine generation and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y neuronal cell line
Authors: YILDIZHAN Kenan
Published: October 2021

Despite the clear effects and harm of the Bisphenol-A (BPH-A) chemical, it is one of the highest produced chemicals worldwide. The main areas of use include building materials, from automotive to food materials. It is important to find therapeutic agents against the damage caused by the BPH-A. Bisphenol A exposure is the major cause of increased oxidative stress (OS) and mitochondrial dysfunction, especially in cells. Thus, our study aimed to research the protective effect of selenium in BPH-A-induced SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. The SH-SY5Y cells were divided into 4 groups as 1- Control group: No drug was applied to these cells. 2- BPH-A group: Bisphenol A was incubated with 100 µM for 24 hours. 3- BPH-A+Na-Se group: This group was incubated with BPH-A for 24 hours. Na-Se (1 µM) was added in the last 2 hours of the 24 hours. 4- Na-Se group: Na-Se was incubated with 1 µM for 2 hours. In the cells, intracellular ROS and JC-1 levels were highest in the BPH-A group, although there was a significant reduction in the selenium-treated group (BPH-A+Na-Se). In addition to these, when the Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 enzyme activities were examined between the groups, it was seen that Selenium reduces the increased caspase activity caused by BPH-A. Finally, when the apoptosis and MTT analysis results between the groups were examined, it was observed that apoptosis and MTT levels were highest in the BPH-A group, while it was significantly lower in the Na-Se group compared to the BPH-A group. In conclusion, this study revealed that Selenium, with its antioxidant properties, can be used as a neuroprotective agent by reducing BPH-A-induced oxidative stress.

While the pathological mechanism of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is unclear, oxidative stress has been proposed to be one of its related theories, which can help to uncover the disease’s pathological factors. This review aims to provide a quantitative description and data visualisation of oxidative stress and AD research from the literature obtained from the Scopus database. Based on the keywords used, which are related to oxidative stress and AD in the article title, 996 documents were retrieved for further analysis. Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, and Harzing’s Publish or Perish were used to conduct the frequency analysis, data visualization, and citation analysis. There is a continuous growth in the number of publications on research in oxidative stress and AD, starting from 1986 and spanning 35 years. The most cited article was “Oxidative stress hypothesis in Alzheimer's disease”. The Journal of Alzheimer's Disease published the most number of publications related to oxidative stress and AD, while the United States and its institutions were the main contributors. Our findings suggest that research on aetiopathology, biomarkers, and neuroprotective agents for AD dominated this research field.

Our bibliometric analysis provides distinct trends in oxidative stress and AD research in the last 35 years. Our findings highlight current hot topics related to biomarkers for screening and diagnosis of AD as well as neuroprotective agents used as disease-modifying therapies of AD.
Edge-Disjoint Branchings in Temporal Digraphs
Authors: Campos Victor , Lopes Raul , Marino Andrea , Silva Ana
Published: October 2021

A temporal digraph ${\cal G}$ is a triple $(G, \gamma, \lambda)$ where $G$ is a digraph, $\gamma$ is a function on $V(G)$ that tells us the time stamps when a vertex is active, and $\lambda$ is a function on $E(G)$ that tells for each $uv\in E(G)$ when $u$ and $v$ are linked. Given a static digraph $G$, and a subset $R\subseteq V(G)$, a spanning branching with root $R$ is a subdigraph of $G$ that has exactly one path from $R$ to each $v\in V(G)$. In this paper, we consider the temporal version of Edmonds' classical result about the problem of finding $k$ edge-disjoint spanning branchings respectively rooted in given $R_1,\cdots,R_k$. We introduce and investigate different definitions of spanning branchings, and of edge-disjointness in the context of temporal digraphs. A branching ${\cal B}$ is vertex-spanning if the root is able to reach each vertex $v$ of $G$ at some time where $v$ is active, while it is temporal-spanning if each $v$ can be reached from the root at every time where $v$ is active. On the other hand, two branchings ${\cal B}_1$ and ${\cal B}_2$ are edge-disjoint if they do not use the same edge of $G$, and are temporal-edge-disjoint if they can use the same edge of $G$ but at different times. This lead us to four definitions of disjoint spanning branchings and we prove that, unlike the static case, only one of these can be computed in polynomial time, namely the temporal-edge-disjoint temporal-spanning branchings problem, while the other versions are $\mathsf{NP}$-complete, even under very strict assumptions.
The Bernardi Formula for Nontransitive Deformations of the Braid Arrangement
Authors: Bisain Ankit , Hanson Eric
Published: October 2021

Bernardi has given a general formula for the number of regions of a deformation of the braid arrangement as a signed sum over boxed trees. We prove that each set of boxed trees which share an underlying (rooted labeled plane) tree contributes 0 or $\pm 1$ to this sum, and we give an algorithm for computing this value. For Ish-type arrangements, we further construct a sign-reversing involution which reduces Bernardi's signed sum to the enumeration of a set of (rooted labeled plane) trees. We conclude by explicitly enumerating the trees corresponding to the regions of Ish-type arrangements which are nested, recovering their known counting formula.

Celem trzyletniego doświadczenia polowego była ocena reakcji pszenicy ozimej, odmiany RGT Kilimanjaro na zróżnicowane nawożenie dolistne. Doświadczenie założono w układzie losowanych bloków na polach Podkarpackiego Ośrodka Doradztwa Rolniczego w Boguchwale. Badanym czynnikiem były zróżnicowane warianty nawożenia dolistnego: (B) – dwukrotny oprysk YaraVita Zboże oraz (C) – dwukrotny oprysk YaraVita Zboże, jednokrotny YaraVita Kombiphos i jednokrotny YaraVita Thiotrac, które porównano do kontroli (A). Wykazano, że zmienne warunki pogodowe w latach badań wpłynęły modyfikująco na uzyskane plony. W 2017 r. zebrano ponad 9 t⸱ha-1 ziarna, natomiast w latach 2018 i 2019 odpowiednio o 2,0 i 0,92 t⸱ha-1 mniej. Po zastosowaniu nawożenia dolistnego w wariancie C i B uzyskano istotnie wyższe plony w porównaniu do kontroli, odpowiednio o 0,72 t⸱ha-1 i 0,44 t⸱ha-1. Czterokrotne nawożenie dolistne (wariant C) wpłynęło na istotny wzrost MTZ oraz indeksów zieloności liści (SPAD) i powierzchni liści (LAI) w porównaniu do kontroli. W przypadku przewodności szparkowej liści (Gs) dowiedziono, że zastosowane nawożenie w wariancie C skutkowało zmniejszeniem odczytów w odniesieniu do kontroli. Użyte nawozy dolistne w wariancie C wpłynęły także na istotny wzrost zawartości w ziarnie białka ogólnego a spadek włókna w odniesieniu do kontroli. W przypadku wariantu B uzyskane różnice były nieistotne. W uprawie pszenicy ozimej należy zatem zalecać intensywniejszy wariant nawożenia dolistnego.

The effect of maturation stage and after-ripening on seed quality in organically- and conventionally-produced pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seeds
Authors: YILDIRIM Kutay , DEMIR Ibrahim
Published: October 2021

High quality seed production is essential in organic production as well as in conventional production. Fruit maturity can be observed at different times due to the continuous flowering of pepper plant. Consequently, seeds with different maturity are obtained as the fruits are collected during once over-harvesting period. Immature seeds collected in once over-harvest may cause quality losses in the seed lot. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the effect of after-ripening on mature and immature pepper seeds produced in organic and conventional production systems. To see the effect of after-ripening treatment, seeds were harvested in two different periods (immature 45-50 day after anthesis(DAA) and mature 60-65DAA). After-ripening(AR) was performed by keeping the seeds in fruits for 7 days after harvesting the fruits. Effect of production systems and after-ripening on immature and mature pepper seed lots were assessed for four cultivars harvested in 2015 and 2016. After-ripening increased germination (AR:76.3%, C:28% for organic and AR:88%, C:53.8% for conventional), seedling emergence (AR:70.8%, C:44.3% for organic and AR:82.5%, C:53.8% for conventional) percentages and mean weight of 1000 seeds (AR:6.5, C:6.0g for organic and AR:6.5, C:6.2g for conventional) in both production systems of immature seed lots compared to control (C)(P<0.05) but did not have a similar effect on mature ones. Moreover, organically-produced seed lots have the same quality as conventionally-produced seeds. Consequently, obtained results indicate that after-ripening can be used to enhance the quality of immature seeds of pepper cultivars and seeds can be produced organically without any loss of quality.

Brahmawidyā Dalam Tattwa Sanghyang Mahājñāna
Authors: Windya Ida Made
Published: October 2021

The ancestors of Hindus in Bali had inherited Brahmawidyā texts through the manuscript of Tattva which has been familiar in the religious live. Meanwhile, the publication regarding Brahmawidyā is really limited in the area of research. Due to that reason, the research regarding Brahmawidyā in the Sanghyang Mahājñana Tattva can be an interesting topic to be analysed. This research aims to analyse Brahmawidyā in the Sanghyang Mahājñana Tattva from the aspect of Panca Sradha as the foundation of faith, and also to obtain a deeper insight on the Divinity aspect in Sanghyang Mahājñana Tattva. The method of this research is a literature study with the approach of qualitative research. This study shows that the comprehension of Brahmawidyā teachings is compulsory for Hindu. It is impossible for Sradha (faith) to be strongly persistent without adequate foundation of Brahmawidyā. This research also shows that the Divinity aspect in the Sanghyang Mahājñana Tattva is monotheism immanent.

Understanding the meaning and sanctity of sex as a biological need that has the same position as the need to eat and drink leads humans to their nature to fulfill sexual needs. To find out the understanding of the Hindu community in Lombok about the philosophical value of the discourse of intercourse in the text of Lontar Resi Sembina. This study used a descriptive type of research with a qualitative approach. In this study, we dissect a literary source in the form of lontar, which will then be linked to data on public perceptions of the teachings in the text of Lontar Resi Sembina. (1) Public understanding of Hindu religious teachings, especially regarding tattwa or the philosophical meaning of intercourse in living the life of Grahasta Asrama or having a household in Pagesangan Village, is still shallow. (2) almost all people in Pagesangan Village do not have literary sources that discuss sexual intercourse or kama tattwa. (3) there is a discrepancy between the public's view of the importance of fulfilling sexual libido as one of the expressions of kama in life, with the fulfillment of sources of information, both primary in the form of lontar literature, books, and other socialization media as well as supporting information sources in the form of the existence of Hindu intellectuals in the dissemination of tattwa teachings contained in the text of Lontar Resi Sembina.
Declaration Of Understanding Radicalism To Islam (Critical Analysis of Islamic Religious Educational Materials in Response to Allegations of Understanding Radicalism to Muslims)
Authors: Atsani Lalu Gede Muhammad Zainuddin , Nasri Ulyan
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this study is to critically analyze or re-measure Islamic religious education materials in countering accusations of radicalism to Muslims. The term radicalism has become a familiar term attached to a group in Islam. Indicators to call groups in Islam radicalism to include terrorism, anarchists, rebels, and extremists. The research method uses a descriptive type of research. The results of this study are one of the causes of the trapping of elements in radicalism, namely a partial understanding of religion and tends to the nature of fanaticism. This trait then results in a sense of superiority over followers of other religions. Failing to understand the concept of jihad in religion makes someone take a shortcut by spreading terror to innocent people. the logical consequence of this interpretation is the juxtaposition of terrorism as the fruit of radicalism. This hypothesis is reasonable, considering that various terrorist activities in various parts of the world always act in the name of jihad carried out by Muslims as a form of obedience to God. This has led to various upheavals which, without realizing it, will not only have implications for the decline in national stability. However, it even sparked a negative response from various parts of the world. Therefore, it is necessary to have an inclusive understanding of religion so that religious adherents realize that plurality is a necessity. Seeing these problems, there needs to be a strengthening and reaffirmation of the originality of Islamic teachings that contain humanist pluralistic and tolerant values. The conclusion is that a very strategic role, in this case, is that Islamic religious education materials must be able to reconstruct relevant materials to counteract accusations of radicalism. It is at this point that the focus of the study in this article is trying to critically analyze or re-measure Islamic religious education materials that tend to be humanist-pluralist and tolerant to ward off accusations of radicalism in Islam.

Authors: Badran Younis , Sider Ishaq
Published: October 2021

In the recent years, solar cooling technologies for buildings have garnered increased attention. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of current solar thermal and solar photovoltaic (PV) air-conditioning technologies. Hence, the annual heating/cooling load profile and energy consumption of a reference building in the climate of Aqaba, Jordan were simulated using the TRNSYS software. The solar thermal and solar PV air-conditioning systems were designed and simulated to compensate the cooling demands. It was found that the annual cooling energy accounted for 96.3 % of the total annual energy demand (heating plus cooling) of the reference building. The solar PV and solar thermal air-conditioning systems compensated for direct cooling by 35.8 % and 30.9 %, respectively, and the corresponding compensations of cooling energy by the storage system were 7.3 % and 11.9 %, respectively. Thus, through this comparative study, we found that the storage system significantly contributed in compensating the cooling demands of the solar thermal system; however, the compensation to direct cooling was lower relative to the solar PV system

The effect of Aller Arrow S and Aller Trident S formula feeds on the growth, development and accumulation of fat in the muscles of Lena sturgeon juveniles raised in the conditions of ultrasonic testing for a repair herd was studied. The obtained results of cultivation indicate the effectiveness of the use of Aller Arrow feeds to reduce fat accumulation. It is shown that production feeds with a fat content of 14% and a higher (by 4%) energy-protein ratio contribute to an increase in the fatness coefficient and a decrease in the progonicity index, their use leads to an increase in liver weight by 48.5% (p≥0.05), and the gastrointestinal tract by 5.6%. The ratio of connective and adipose tissues, the density of muscle fibers indicates a more intensive accumulation of fat when using Aller Trident S, which indirectly indicates a higher energy (gastronomic) value of meat, due to an increase in its caloric content. According to the average final mass, mass accumulation coefficient, yield and growth of ichthyomass, relative growth rate, average daily growth, the best results were obtained in juveniles raised on production feed, the economic effect was 400 rubles/m3 of the pool.

Published: October 2021

COVID-19 in children
accounts for up to 8% of all the cases and is less severe than in adults. This
could be an underestimation. A significant number of children are asymptomatic.
Symptomatic infection is hard to distinguish from other respiratory tract viral
infections based on symptoms and laboratory results. Anosmia is the only
symptom in children that is highly suggestive of COVID-19. Infected children
mostly have a positive household member. However, the role of children in
SARS-CoV-2 transmission is still controversial. Data suggest that
schoolchildren have a greater impact in SARS-CoV-2 transmission compared to younger
children. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children is a new entity
reported since April 2020 and is considered a rare complication of SARS-CoV-2
infection. It occurs in previously healthy older children and adolescents
presenting with multisystem involvement and elevated inflammatory markers. Most
children respond well to immune-modifying therapy. Treatment of COVID-19
in children is based solely on data received from adults and consists of
supportive treatment and, in rare occasions, antiviral therapy (remdesivir),
corticosteroids (dexamethasone) and monoclonal antibodies (tocilizumab).
Further studies in children are needed in order to better understand this
disease. This article discusses clinical presentation and therapeutic options
for COVID-19 in children.

Published: October 2021

The objective of this work is to computationally assess the performance of a carbon free ammonia-hydrogen mixture when burnt in a gas turbine like combustor. Recently, utilizing ammonia as an alternative carbon-free fuel for future power, industry applications and achieving clean energy attracted enormous interest. Pure ammonia oxidation is facing many challenges such as high NOx emissions, high ignition energy, slow reactivity and lower laminar flame speeds. Therefore, the use of ammonia/hydrogen mixture provides flame stability and increasing flame speed. In this manuscript a numerical study for a new swirl stabilized combustor for oxidizing ammonia/hydrogen mixture. Numerical two dimensional model simulations of a turbulent flame on Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) including a realizable k-e turbulent scheme with the aid of chemistry mechanism were performed under various conditions. Partially premixed combustion model with flame-let concept was selected and radiation effects are also considered. Validation for the predicted results showed a reasonable agreement when validated with the experimental data. The results discuss the influence of changing inlet pressure and equivalence ratio on the stability and the characteristics of unburnt NH3 and NO emissions. Results show that for constant operating conditions such as constant equivalence ratio of 0.8 that increasing hydrogen content resulted in increasing NO emission. Also, for constant ammonia/hydrogen concentrations, NO emissions increases with equivalence ratio then reduced at rich conditions and NH3 emissions are generally low. Equivalence ratio lower than 1.2 will be preferable to reduce the amount of unburnt NH3 formation.

Published: October 2021

Thermal energy transfer (TET) is the main performance of contact interfaces which has been studied at a molecular level. Several investigations on TET were accomplished, however, the influences of liquid film thickness on TET have not been sufficiently examined. Thus, this paper analyses the influences of liquid film thickness on TET across solid–liquid (S-L) interfaces. Two liquid film thicknesses (Lz) of 30 Å and 60 Å have been evaluated, and two shear directions (x- and y-directions) have been tested in the simulation system. It has been found that there is no significant difference in the density distribution of liquid regardless of the shear directions for the same Lz. However, there are differences in the density distribution of liquid between Lz of 30 Å and 60 Å. Based on the results its suggests that, the cut-off of the temperature and velocity at the contact interfaces of solid and liquid is substantially influences by the liquid thickness of the simulation system. It is found that, there are a significant different in the thermal boundary resistance (TBR) for Lz of 30 Å and 60 Å for cases liquid sheared in the x-direction. Whereas TBR for Lz of 30 Å and 60 Å sheared in the y-direction have no significant difference. In conclusion, the TET is affected by the velocity cut-off at the contact interfaces of solid and liquid where larger velocity discontinuity exhibits higher TBR.
Uma leitura ética e filosófica do dano moral
Authors: Bonna Alexandre Pereira
Published: October 2021

Aborda a hipótese de que a responsabilidade civil, na tarefa corrigir perdas imerecidas e danos injustos envolvendo dano moral - que é a violação a um interesse extrapatrimonial protegido juridicamente - pode ser fortalecida a partir de uma leitura ética. Adota como pressuposto teórico que o Direito possui duas dimensões: a factual e a ideal, na esteira do que defende Robert Alexy em Teoria da Argumentação Jurídica (2014). Apresenta que no tocante ao dano moral, na primeira dimensão (factual) existe o arcabouço jurídico dos bens extrapatrimoniais protegidos juridicamente, ao passo que na segunda (ideal) defende-se que há os bens humanos básicos, os quais complementam e fortalecem a análise dos bens extrapatrimoniais no tocante a identificação e quantificação do dano moral. Aprofunda a interface dos bens extrapatrimoniais extraídos do Direito pátrio com os bens humanos básicos formulados por Bebhinn Donnelly – em A natural law approach to normativity (2007) -, Mark Murphy – em Natural law in jurisprudence and politics (2006) e Natural law and practical rationality (2001) - e John Finnis – em Lei natural e direitos naturais (2007) e Aquinas: moral, political and legal theory (2008).
General Baron Edmund Harold (1737-1808): a ‘Celtic’ Writer in Germany
Authors: CATHÁIN DIARMAID Ó
Published: October 2021

The overthrow of the Jacobite cause in Ireland, and the confiscation and expatriation that resulted … well nigh extinguished the classes of landowners and merchants that produced both the writers of such works as have been passing under our notice, and the native readers for whom they wrote … In the succeeding age the laurels that decorated our exiled countrymen were sought in the fields of Mars rather than by the fountains of the Muses.1
Coelotes vignai Brignoli, 1978 (Araneae: Agelenidae) from Turkey: first description of male and annotations on terminology of copulatory organs
Authors: Dimitrov Dragomir , Jäger Peter
Published: October 2021

The agelenid spider species Coelotes vignai Brignoli, 1978 was described, based on female specimens from Turkey.

The unknown male is here described, based on specimens from the type locality: Bolu, Abant Mountains, Turkey. The variation of the female copulatory organs is illustrated. The relationships of the species with its putative closest congeners are discussed. The discrepancy between the morphological terminology used in the Coelotinae and Ageleninae is discussed and some suggestions how to unify them are proposed.
L’adolescence dans le roman moderne. Trois lectures : Robert Musil, Alain-Fournier, Witold Gombrowicz
Authors: Vultur Ioana
Published: October 2021

L’article part de l’analyse de trois romans du début du xx e  siècle pour montrer comment chacun construit une figure différente de l’adolescence : l’adolescence comme crise de l’identité, voire comme crise de la société chez Musil ; l’adolescence comme âge de l’aventure, du désir et du rêve chez Alain-Fournier ; l’adolescence comme âge de l’immaturité dans Ferdydurke de Gombrowicz, qui adopte une vision ironique vis-à-vis de l’adolescence vue comme âge lyrique. Mais, comme je le montre dans la deuxième partie, ces romans n’en possèdent pas moins des traits communs qui donnent un statut spécifique à cet âge.
Squatter les friches
Authors: Bogaert Éric
Published: October 2021

Foin d’avoir été mise en pratique d’une théorie pensée par de glorieux ancêtres, la psychothérapie institutionnelle a été la pratique de la psychiatrie par de géniaux bricoleurs dans un champ en jachère avec les outils alors à leur disposition, avant de devenir praxis, bricolage théorico-pratique, outil que les jardiniers du secteur psychiatrique peuvent usiner à leur main pour cultiver un monde bétonné de partout, s’ils en ont le désir, le culot et le courage.

Oser réinventer sans cesse son métier (ou tout l’art de soigner sans en avoir l’air, pas une mince affaire… !)
Authors: Le Tallec Laëtitia , Thebaud Corinne , Le Fur Philippe
Published: October 2021

Qu’est-ce qu’être infirmier(ère) en psychiatrie aujourd’hui ? Il ne s’agit pas d’apporter une réponse mais de partir à la découverte de sa propre identité professionnelle, qui fait forcément lien avec le sujet que nous sommes, et peu à peu de fabriquer avec les patients des outils de soin au plus près de leurs besoins. L’atelier Radio Décalée en témoigne.
Schizophrénie et radicalisation : de quoi parle-t-on ?
Authors: Rey Jean-Francois , Delion Pierre
Published: October 2021

Suite à un fait divers, l’association de la schizophrénie avec la dangerosité (ici : radicalisation) revient sur le devant de la scène médiatique, suscitant des propositions répressives envers les malades mentaux. Il existe cependant d’autres moyens d’accompagner la psychose : psychiatrie de secteur, relation de confiance avec les soignants, équipe contenante… l’accueil de la folie doit et peut rester humain.

Synchronized abandonment in discrete-time renewal input queues with vacations
Authors: Goswami Veena , Panda Gopinath
Published: October 2021

We consider a discrete-time infinite buffer renewal input queue with multiple vacations and synchronized abandonment. Waiting customers get impatient during the server's vacation and decide whether to take service or abandon simultaneously at the vacation completion instants. Using the supplementary variable technique and difference operator method, we obtain an explicit expression to find the steady-state system-length distributions at pre-arrival, random, and outside observer's observation epochs. We provide the stochastic decomposition structure for the number of customers and discuss the various performance measures. With the help of numerical experiments, we show that the method formulated in this work is analytically elegant and computationally tractable. The results are appropriate for light-tailed inter-arrival distributions and can also be leveraged to find heavy-tailed inter-arrival distributions.
Global convergence of a modified Broyden family method for nonconvex functions
Authors: Yuan Gonglin , Wang Zhan , Li Pengyuan
Published: October 2021

The Broyden family method is one of the most effective methods for solving unconstrained optimization problems. However, the study of the global convergence of the Broyden family method is not sufficient. In this paper, a new Broyden family method is proposed based on the BFGS formula of Yuan and Wei (Comput. Optim. Appl. 47: 237-255, 2010). The following approaches are used in the designed algorithm: (1) a modified Broyden family formula is given, (2) every matrix sequence \begin{document}$ \{B_k\} $\end{document} generated by the new algorithm possesses positive-definiteness, and (3) the global convergence of the new presented Broyden family algorithm with the Y-W-L inexact line search is obtained for general functions. Numerical performance shows that the modified Broyden family method is competitive with the classical Broyden family method.
Effect of service quality on software sales and coordination mechanism in IT service supply chain
Authors: Ren Tinghai , Yuan Kaifu , Wang Dafei , Zeng Nengmin
Published: October 2021

Currently, the upstream software developer usually cooperates with the downstream service provider to sell software and related services to client enterprises. Furthermore, the quality of pre-sale services provided by the provider has significant impact on software sales and on the performance of IT service supply chain (ITSSC). However, the existing research on IT service supply chain management (ITSSCM) lacks attention to this issue. In this study, we consider an ITSSC with a software developer, a service provider and client enterprises. Two scenarios are discussed in this study. Our study finds that the quality of pre-sale services provided by the provider and the price of extended warranty service (EWS) provided by the developer (in centralized decision-making (CDM)) are both higher than those in decentralized decision-making (DDM); when the sensitivity of clients to the software price is lower than a certain critical value, the software sales price (in CDM) is unexpectedly higher than that in DDM; however, when it is higher than the certain value, the software sales price (in CDM) is lower than that in DDM. Due to the double marginal effect between the developer and the provider, the total profit of ITSSC (in DDM) is always lower than that in CDM. By providing a combined coordination contract based on "guiding price \begin{document}$ + $\end{document} service cost sharing \begin{document}$ + $\end{document} product revenue sharing", not only the total profit of ITSSC can be increased, but also the profit of ITSSC members can be Pareto improved.
Vie et miracles de Daniel de Qorqor. Introduction
Authors: Colin Gérard
Published: October 2021

La Vie et les miracles de Daniel de Qorqor sont actuellement connus par deux manuscrits conservés dans l’église de Qorqor Māryām dans le Tigré. Le premier, daté de 1911 ap. J.-C, n’est accessible que dans un microfilm conservé à l’Institute of Ethiopian Studies d’Addis Abeba. Cette copie de qualité médiocre, parfois peu lisible et lacunaire de plusieurs folios, est impropre à une édition intégrale. L’autre manuscrit, photographié en 2009 dans l’église, est ici édité et traduit dans son intégralité. Achevé en 1975-76, il présente une version sensiblement différente du premier manuscrit, tant d’un point de vue formel que pour ce qui concerne les informations factuelles. Cette introduction présente points communs et divergences, notamment à propos de la généalogie monastique de Daniel.
Ewosṭateans at the Council of Florence (1441): Diplomatic Implications between Ethiopia, Europe, Jerusalem and Cairo
Authors: Kelly Samantha
Published: October 2021

This article argues that at the Council of Florence, arguably the most important instance of European–Ethiopian diplomacy before the 16th century, the delegates representing the Ethiopian Orthodox Church were Ewosṭatean monks—schismatics, whose positions were not yet accepted by Ethiopian religious authorities nor permitted to other Ethiopian Christians. It further proposes that the monks’ participation in the Council of Florence was part of the Ewosṭateans’ larger strategy of pressuring Ethiopian authorities to adopt their own religious positions, at a time when the king’s sympathy for their views was not yet clear; that the Council of Florence highlighted Ethiopian tensions with the Coptic patriarch in a way that furthered the Ewosṭateans’ goals; and that subsequent events suggest that their participation in the Council did indeed contribute to their full incorporation in the Ethiopian Church, and possibly to King Zära Ya‘ǝqob’s interest in continued European diplomacy.
Du nouveau sur la géographie de l’Éthiopie. Poggio Bracciolini, Biondo Flavio et le témoignage de l’ambassade éthiopienne au concile de Ferrare-Florence
Authors: Bouloux Nathalie
Published: October 2021

En août 1441, une ambassade composée de huit moines (quatre issus de la communauté copte du Caire et quatre moines éthiopiens de Jérusalem) arrive au concile de Florence. Deux humanistes, Poggio Bracciolini et Biondo Flavio, sont témoins de l’événement qu’ils rapportent dans leurs écrits. Dans le livre IV du De varietate fortunae, Poggio dresse le portrait d’une Éthiopie prospère et exotique, tandis que Biondo, en transcrivant dans son Historiarum ab inclinatione Romanorum imperii decades l’interrogatoire des moines mené par une commission de cardinaux, montre les tensions entre les diverses représentations des réalités éthiopiennes et leurs implications. Ces textes attestent la fascination de certains humanistes italiens pour les pays lointains et les diverses modalités d’insertion de l’Éthiopie dans l’imago mundi.
Un manuscrit éthiopien chrétien sur papier (ca. 1755) : une singularité royale
Authors: Wion Anaïs
Published: October 2021

Au milieu du xviiie siècle, à la cour royale de Gondar, le scriptorium du roi Iyo’ās (1755-1769) importa des feuilles de papier afin de confectionner un lectionnaire (senkesar) en trois volumes. Il en reste aujourd’hui un volume conservé à Addis Abeba, à l’Ethiopian National Archives and Library Agency, au département des manuscrits, sous la cote 197. C’est le seul manuscrit chrétien éthiopien sur papier connu. En effet, en Éthiopie, les chrétiens copiaient leurs manuscrits exclusivement sur du parchemin. Novateur et ambitieux, ce manuscrit répondait aux standards éthiopiens les plus sophistiqués, tout en adaptant les normes codicologiques en vigueur aux exigences de ce nouveau médium qu’était le papier. Il fut fabriqué par des artisans connaissant le travail sur papier, qu’ils soient des étrangers ou des Éthiopiens formés par des étrangers. Le statut de ce manuscrit fut suffisamment élevé pour qu’il fasse partie de la bibliothèque impériale au tournant du xxe siècle, puis qu’il soit versé dans la collection patrimoniale nationale.
La première mondialisation. Quelle place pour l’Afrique dans l’histoire évolutive et biogéographique du genre Homo ?
Authors: Boisserie Jean-Renaud
Published: October 2021

L’Afrique a hébergé notre évolution jusqu’à l’apparition du genre Homo et sa conquête de l’Eurasie il y a deux millions d’années environ. Et après, que s’est-il passé ? Les actes suivants ont-ils pris place en Eurasie, comme sous-entendu par l’expression « sortie d’Afrique » pour désigner cette conquête ? Dans cette contribution, les principales phases de cette « sortie » sont récapitulées sur la base des données fossiles, archéologiques et génétiques, et les différentes hypothèses sont brièvement discutées. Il apparaît que l’Afrique est restée le centre d’innovation et de dispersion de l’histoire évolutive humaine jusqu’à il y a quelques dizaines de milliers d’années.
