Antibacterial and larvicidal potentials of Derris indica (Lamk.) Bennet. extractives
Authors: Mondal Omar Ali , Haque M Emdadul , Islam Nurul
Published: January 2012

Chloroform extracts of the fruit shell, leaves, root bark, root wood, seeds, stem bark and stem wood of Derris indica were tested for their antibacterial and larvicidal potentials. Except the seed extract all other extracts offered activity against 15 pathogenic bacteria. The fruit shell extract showed activity against B. cereus, S.-β- haemolyticus and S. typhi; the leaf extract against Klebsiella sp. only; the root bark against B. cereus, B. megaterium, B. subtilis, S. -β- haemolyticus, S. typhi, S. dysenteriae and S. sonnei; the root wood extract against B. sereus, B. megaterium, B. subtilis, S. -β- haemolyticus, S. typhi, S. dysenteriae, S. shiga, S. sonnei, Klebsiella sp. and P. aeruginosa; the stem bark extract against B. cereus, B. subtilis, S. -β- haemolyticus and S. sonnei and the stem wood extract against B. cereus, B. megaterium, B. subtilis, S. -β- haemolyticus, S. typhi and S. dysenteriae. According to the intensity of activity against the selected bacteria the D. indica extracts could be arranged in a descending order of root wood> root bark> stem wood> stem bark> fruit shell> leaf extract. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the chloroform extract of root wood of D. indica were 128 μg/ml against S. -β- haemolyticus, B. megaterium and S. dysenteriae and 64 μg/ml against B. cereus; for the stem wood extract 128 μg/ml against S. -β- haemolyticus, B. megaterium, B. cereus and B. subtilis, and 64 μg/ml against S. dysenteriae. The root bark, root wood, seed and stem wood extracts showed efficacy against the 3rd instar larvae of Musca domestica with LC50 values in a descending order of root wood (3615.92 ppm) > seed (5538.07 ppm) > stem wood (12139.40 ppm) > root bark (16721.24 ppm).   Key words: Chloroform extract; Derris indica; antibacterial and larvicidal activity.

Authors: Gofur Md Abdul , Khanum Hamida , Podder Milka Patracia , Nessa Zaibun
Published: January 2012

In the present investigation, 30 Long-Evans were examined. Out of 30, 23 rats were infected by helminth parasites, two species of helminth parasites from two taxonomic groups were identified, cestode Hymenolepis nana and nematode Syphacia muris. The prevalence and intensity of parasites were quite different in different groups of helminth parasites in hosts. The prevalence and intensity of infestation of cestodes were 26.67% and 5.57±1.5 while higher of nematodes 66.67% and 60.85±8.1 in the Long-Evans respectively. Hymenolepis nana was found in small intestine and Syphacia muris in all parts of the alimentary tract. The prevalence and intensity of infestation was 36.67% and 5.09±1.6 respectively in small intestine. The prevalence of infestation was similar both in large intestine and caecum (63.33%), and in rectum (63.33%). The intensity of infestation was 24±3.30 and 39.16±4.10 in large intestine and caecum, and in rectum respectively. Key words: Long-Evans; Rattus norvegicus; cestodes; nematodes; prevalence; intensity. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ujzru.v29i1.9464 UJZRU 2010; 29(1): 41-45
Determination of immune response against alum-precipitated fowl cholera vaccine in the quail, Coturnix japonica
Authors: Iqbal MT , Haque MH , Sarker S , Islam MA , Choudhury KA
Published: January 2012

The immune response of a formalin-inactivated alum-precipitated fowl cholera vaccine (FCV) was evaluated in quails, Coturnix japonica (Order: Galliformes and Family: Mimidae). All quails, irrespective of sex and 8-weeks-old were immunized with 5×107CFU/ml/quail subcutaneously (SC) and intramuscularly (IM). A Booster immunization was given with similar dose and routes at 15 days after primary immunization in groups A and B while group C served as unimmunized control. Pre-immunized sera were collected from all groups of birds to assay the primary antibody levels in them. Sera of the immunized and control quails were collected at 15 and 30 days post immunization. The degree of immunity produced in each group of quails following primary and secondary immunizations were determined by measuring their serum antibody titres using passive haemagglutination assay (PHA) test. The level of antibody was significantly increased both primary and booster immunization in immunized quails as determined by PHA titres. Two weeks after final immunization, the quails were challenged with a virulent isolate of fowl cholera and immunized quails conferred 100% protection while all the control quails were dead within 10 days post challenge.   Key words: Fowl cholera; alum-precipitated vaccine; immune response; PHA test; quail DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ujzru.v29i1.9467 UJZRU 2010; 29(1): 57-59

Graphene and Other Nanomaterial-Based Electrochemical Aptasensors
Authors: Hernandez Frank J. , Ozalp Veli Cengiz
Published: January 2012

Electrochemical aptasensors, which are based on the specificity of aptamer-target recognition, with electrochemical transduction for analytical purposes have received particular attention due to their high sensitivity and selectivity, simple instrumentation, as well as low production cost. Aptamers are functional nucleic acids with specific and high affinity to their targets, similar to antibodies. However, they are completely selected in vitro in contrast to antibodies. Due to their stability, easy chemical modifications and proneness to nanostructured device construction, aptamer-based sensors have been incorporated in a variety of applications including electrochemical sensing devices. In recent years, the performance of aptasensors has been augmented by incorporating novel nanomaterials in the preparation of better electrochemical sensors. In this review, we summarize the recent trends in the use of nanomaterials for developing electrochemical aptasensors.
Monodisperse 130 kDa and 260 kDa Recombinant Human Hemoglobin Polymers as Scaffolds for Protein Engineering of Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carriers
Authors: Marquardt David A. , Doyle Michael P. , Davidson Jeffrey S. , Epp Janet K. , Aitken Jacqueline F. , Lemon Douglas D. , Anthony-Cahill Spencer J.
Published: January 2012

A recombinant 130 kDa dihemoglobin which is made up of a single-chain tetra-α globin and four β globins has been expressed as a soluble protein in E. coli. The sequence of the single chain tetra-α is: αI-Gly-αII-(SerGlyGly)5Ser-αIII-Gly-αIV. This dihemoglobin has been purified and characterized in vitro by size exclusion chromatography, electrospray mass spectroscopy, equilibrium oxygen binding, and analytical ultracentrifugation. The observed values of P50 and nmax for the dihemoglobin are slightly lower than those observed for the recombinant hemoglobin rHb1.1 (a “monohemoglobin” comprised of two β globins and an αI-Gly-αII diα-globin chain). Titration of the deoxy form of dihemoglobin with CO shows that all eight heme centers bind ligand. In vivo, dihemoglobin showed increased circulating halflife and a reduced pressor response in conscious rats when compared to rHb1.1. These observations suggest that dihemoglobin is an oxygen carrying molecule with desirable in vivo properties and provides a platform for an isooncotic hemoglobin solution derived solely from a recombinant source. A 260 kDa tetrahemoglobin has also been produced by chemical crosslinking of a dihemoglobin that contains a Lys16Cys mutation in the C-terminal α-globin subunit. Tetrahemoglobin also shows reduced vasoactivity in conscious rats that is comparable to that observed for dihemoglobin.

Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most widely used polymers in many industrial applications. Biomedical uses seem to be attractive, with increasing interest. However, PE it prone to infections and its additional surface treatment is indispensable. An increase in resistance to infections can be achieved by treating PE surfaces with substances containing antibacterial groups such as triclosan (5-Chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol) and chlorhexidine (1,1'-Hexamethylenebis[5-(4-chlorophenyl)biguanide]). This work has examined the impact of selected antibacterial substances immobilized on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) via polyacrylic acid (PAA) grafted on LDPE by low-temperature barrier discharge plasma. This LDPE surface treatment led to inhibition of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus adhesion; the first causes intestinal disease, peritonitis, mastitis, pneumonia, septicemia, the latter is the reason for wound and urinary tract infections.
Le récit postmoderne
Authors: Kibédi Varga Áron
Published: January 2012

Postmodern is both a concept and a period in time. Dating from May 1968 in France, postmodernism rejects legitimising discourse and both formalist and marxist rationalism, undermining them through deconstruction. With the gradual discrediting of structuralist linguistics and a new interest in history, philosophy and biology, the postmodernist adopts a stance that is neither archaic nor modern but which exists in an historic context. Through « renarrativisation », subjects are « reinvented » using techniques such as ironic rewriting (Echenoz, Toussaint, « historical » novels, Ransmayr, Härtling) or dissimulation (Manganelli, Perec, Pavic, Temesi).
Emblème et mentalité symbolique
Authors: Russell Daniel
Published: January 2012

The emblem is the most prominent symptom of a symbolic mentality that characterises the period between the late Middle Ages and the coming of Romanticism in the middle of the eighteenth century ; it is a transitional form between late medieval allegory and the Romantic metaphor, and this form was shaped by the techniques and possibilities of the new print culture in sixteenth-century Europe. The process by which emblematic images are created entails fragmentation and recombination, in which simple woodcut images are reinterpreted, or adages, proverbs and well known episodes from Ovid are reworked in unexpected ways to serve as vehicles for all kinds of messages in emblems and other settings as varied as festival decor, title pages, revers de médailles, and official portraits. The model had an impact too on the creation of poetic imagery and the rhetorical design of Renaissance prose.
Payer de sa personne. Leiris entre Rimbaud et Mallarmé
Authors: Kaufmann Vincent
Published: January 2012

Leiri's writing can be considered, on the whole, as haunted by the possibility of an act which would not be a failure, which would not be only a

semblance, a rhetorical one : how truly pay the price ? This is maybe the question Leiris has never been able to actually answer. When he attempts suicide (« Fade suprême ») , he finds himself fascinated by Mallarmés Livre (Fibrilles). And when he goes to war (in 1939) y he feels less like taking action than like entering a legend whose premature hero would he himself : a hero who has not yet acted, and who will never do so. (Biffures.)
Trois notes, sur trois carnets de peintres
Authors: Raillard Georges
Published: January 2012

Painter's Notebooks have commonly been considered as a laboratory for paintings. Miro' 's Notebooks still have such a function. And, as Picasso's and

Groborne's Notebooks that we examine here, they contain « modern » research too in which we consider three main aspects : series, illisibility , « rébus ». Notebooks are at the same time « opera » and « opus ». Still strong ideological interpretors are menacing them, willing to find in them the « secret » explanation of the paintings, and to deduct the visible from the readable.
« 20 janvier 1800, À qui parles-tu ? » Joseph Joubert et l'écriture des carnets
Authors: Mangeot Philippe
Published: January 2012

Joubert's notebooks are far from being a book in any normal sense of the world. The several editions which have apeared since the last century have been selections of Joubert's writings, which imposed an order in the writer' s pages. By examining what Joubert was experimenting with in this original method of not writing a book, we can see that he was in fact inventing a new kind of space for writing, a space which is precisely that of the notebook. We can see too what kind of potential reader he was writing for.

Nietzsche et Baudelaire
Authors: Le Rider Jacques
Published: January 2012

Nietzsche and baudelaire.

This study deals with the relationship of Nietzsche to Baudelaire — the figure and his works — from a « first » encounter in 1883 through to Nietzsche's breakdown. Nietzsche's passionate ambivalence to a figure in which he recognised an alter-ego is traced, in posthumous texts and major works, through the themes of decadence, Wagnerism, French vs German culture, and aesthetic theory.
Le roman comme enthymème

The novel as enthymeme.

This study of the implicit in novelistic structure (through Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury" and Perec's "La vie mode d'emploi") in terms of the imperfect syllogism shows that 1) an enthymematic structure is fundamental to the novel's success and pleasurable effect 2) an enthymeme is like a novel inasmuch as its implicit premises make it an effective and rational argumentative tool.
Christophe, le texte, l'image et la chute des corps
Authors: Cornilliat François
Published: January 2012

The prehistory of comic strips is characterised by the working out of the relationship between text and image. This study of Christophe' s work shows how the authorial textual strategy ultimately tries to thwart the emergence of a semiosis specific to visual images by constantly mocking and j or pointing out the mimetic aspect of the visual «figure » (and of the cartoon « character »). But this strategy reveals what it is trying to deny — that the intelligibility of visual narrative is always already not a matter of mimesis but of semiosis.

Vertiges verlainiens : Paul et l'escarpolette
Authors: Glaudes Pierre
Published: January 2012

The textual analysis of Verlaine' s second « Ariette oubliée » — whose manuscript title is « escarpolette » or swing — connects its swaying movement and its theme — pain at the loss of the originary dyad. The poem's main mythical reference is to Orpheus and Eurydice, while it plays out the solution to loss enacted by Freud's little Hans — a rythmic Fort-Da that is the means and the product of the symbolic control of loss and frustration.
Proust du côté de chez Sand : « Première nuit d'insomnie et de désespoir »
Authors: Glaser Nina
Published: January 2012

Despite Proust's stated hostility to Sand, her work is central to Remembrance — not only with François the Champi : Proust's manuscripts reveal that all four of her « romans champêtres » could have held its role. Furthermore, in Sand's corpus they are linked to her own « night of insomnia and despair » at separation from her mother. Proust's choice in Sand's work recognises and reworks — consciously or unconsciously — this paradigm of unrequited love.
Lieux et figures de la sensation dans l'œuvre de Nathalie Sarraute
Authors: Boué Rachel
Published: January 2012

Sarraute's work explores perception « before » language — before the structuring and recognising effects of nomination on feeling. She develops a process of « archaic mimetism », using allegory, apparently spontaneous comparisons, and the sonorous qualities of language. But these techniques ultimately disown the body, and characters appear lost in their « sensorial solitude » : the mode of minute perception is not a happy reclaiming of the world.
Michel Tournier et l'accent grave du jeu
Authors: Krell Jonathan F.
Published: January 2012

Friday, and Tournier's literary career, opens with a taroc scene. Indeed, games and play are fundamental to Tournier's œuvre, in an ethnographic perspective wherehomo is asludens as he is sapiens or economicus. Read in the wake of Nietzsche and especially Caillois, Tournier suggests that modern civilised man has lost mimicry and vertigo to agon or alea : thus has he lost the «gravity » of child's play for the « serious violence » of adult wars — while Tournier writes consistently under the sign of vertigo and mimicry.

Published: January 2012

A 1924 text explains Tynianov's attention to the literary environment of a work : there is no such "thing" as literature but synchronie literary practices. A work is the product of the forces contemporaneous to it. Contemporaneity (sovremen) thus gives a key to literary works, and suggests that neither literature nor the aesthetic function are atemporal.
Annotation dynamique et lecture expérimentale : vers une nouvelle glose ?

Dynamic annotation and experimental reading : towards a new gloss?

In this paper, we present some reflections about a set of tools enabling a reader to annotate computer-readable texts. A typology of annotative acts

is presented. Also are evoked relationships between annotation and other types of text representation, as mark-up, structuring within corpora, or linguistic investigation. It is argued that a computer system of annotation, as a particular type of text manipulation system, gives the user a great power in the management of reading tasks, as memorizing, structuring, reusing, etc.

The Unlocatable External Source of Focalisation

Genette defined three sources of point of view, narrator, character, and one located within the diegesis but delivering only that information which and extra-diegetic source would have: a source of "external focalisation". This concept ultimately depends on confusion, between source and object of focalisation, or between internal and external focalisation, while the latter dichotomy is unsustainable.

To the detriment of both.

Whether one sees fiction, consensually and commonsensically, as having links to reality (Searle), or, radically, as hermetically cut off from it (Genette), the point is the impossibility of formally discerning fictional from factual stories — a fact of greater consequence for factuality than for fiction, and which implies pragmatic typologies.

Fiction and Counter-factuality

Fiction introduces possible worlds — but what is their relationship to the real one? The logical and linguistic analysis of counter-factual utterances, which depends on the notion of possible worlds, can be used to understand the relationship of fiction to reality, independently of the issue of truth- value.
Incomplétudes stratégiques du discours littéraire et tension dramatique

Strategic Gaps in Literary Discourse and Dramatic Tension

If the text is a "lazy machine" requesting the reader's active cooperation to fill in its gaps, these can have been inadvertently created - or strategically planted. Distinguishing the latter from the former is a first task to be followed within the latter by distinguishing those gaps which create dramatic tension from those which put into question literary representation itself.
Maumort de Roger Martin du Gard : Mémoires, histoire et travail du deuil

Roger Martin du Gard's "Maumort": Memoirs, History and Mourning

These imaginary memoirs, started in 1940, were still unfinished at the author's death in 1958; the choice of genre, which varied during the work's progress, is linked to the time of conception of the project, but also to Martin du Gard's incapacity to finish it, for reasons both personal to the author, and general to the post-war period in France.

Giono's "Bestiasse": of Creativity

The possibilities of speech and literature can be explored from the perspective of the relationship between man and beast; Giono's collection of tales centered on animal forms, "Le Bestiaire", which culminate with the "imaginary, thank goodness" "Bestiasse", are based on such an exploration, showing the relationship to be the principle of creativity.
Le Moyen Âge ou la Fin des Temps. Avenirs d'un refoulé

The Middle Ages or the End of Time. Prospects of an Age Repressed

The otherness of the Middle Ages can be understood first as an opposition to its identity, or rather to its constructed identity, which has itself varied. But ultimately, it depends on a dialectic: that between Marie de France's calling out for the further readings which keep a work alive, and Villon's cultivation of oblivion in his Testament.
Saint-Simon et le masque, fausseté hypertélique ?
Authors: Duso-Bauduin Jean-Pierre

Saint-Simon and the Mask: "Hypertelic" Duplicity?

Saint-Simon recounts the discomfiture of the royal bastards on the 26th of August 1718, a discomfiture carefully desired and orchestrated by him - from behind the scenes and behind a mask. The account of this episode seems the crucible for Saint-Simon's literary vocation, the crux and meaning of that enterprise in its capacity to redeem the "little duke" and both avenge him of and equate him with the despotic monarch himself.
Imaginaire et générosité

Imagination and Generosity

Sartre's phenomenological approach to works of imagination shows that far from enriching our vision of reality — a standard humanist response about the function of the imagination, as well as a standard understanding of phenomenology — such creations are the constant proof of our estrangement from reality and therefore of our liberty. And it is as such that "realists" refuse them.

Echoes of Dante in French 16th Century Poetry

Dante seems to have been progressively more and more forgotten in France from 1500 to 1540, except by Maurice Scève and, later, by the by the protestant poets. Why? A number of hypotheses could be explored in the context of a larger study of Italian presence in French literature of the period.
Le « finale » des Travailleurs de la mer : horizon et limite du texte romanesque
Authors: Montier Jean-Pierre
Published: January 2012

The "Finale" in "Toilers of the Sea": Horizon and Limit of the Novelistic Text

The word "end" was not written by Hugo at the end of "Toilers of the Sea"; this is because his ending, within the precise delimitations suggested here, does not need it, and might even be spoilt by the word. Indeed, it leads narrative desire and characters to an end which, as in music, resonates with the past reading — while at the same time it metaphorises both the act of writing and the act of reading as it comes to its last words.

"A singularity of thought and therefore of style": From Montaigne to La Bruyère and from Pascal to Marivaux

Marivaux' reasoning in the Sixth instalment of "Le Cabinet du philosophe" shows that his equation of style and thought, which eliminates style altogether, is ultimately the logic of literary commentary — as is shown by Marivaux' commenting a La Rochefoucauld maxim's wording as ultimately necessary to its meaning.

Stylistics and Socio-Criticism

Stylistics and socio-criticism developed in intense distrust and ignorance of each other, first of all for (French) political reasons. Their intellectually necessary reconciliation is being brought about, and their methods combined, through the integration of the notion of enunciation, under the banner of discourse analysis.
DEVELOPMENT AND FLIGHT TEST OF A REAL-TIME ENERGY MANAGEMENT DISPLAY / REALAUS LAIKO ENERGIJOS VALDYMO MONITORIAUS KŪRIMAS IR BANDYMAS SKRYDŽIO METU
Authors: Atuahene Isaac , Corda Stephen , Sawhney Rapinder
Published: January 2012

A real-time energy management display is developed and evaluated, and the feasibility and utility of the display in providing real-time guidance and information on an aircraft's energy state is investigated. Flight simulations were conducted with the UTSI's Aviation Systems research flight simulator to validate the display and to evaluate its utility for flying along constant specific excess power (PS) contours and for directly obtaining PS contours from level acceleration flight test. This study considers the energy state of the aircraft from the point of view of the relation that exists between specific excess power, PS, and the forces in flight. The approach yields as one result a cubic function for the PS of the aircraft. We then directly solve for velocity, V, as the control parameter for a given PS as a function of altitude, H. Using LabView software, this technique is used to build a real-time energy management display which provides guidance and real-time information on the aircraft's energy state. Flight simulation results proved the display to be successful in obtaining direct PS contours from level acceleration flight tests and in providing guidance for flights along constant PS contours at low airspeeds, although it was difficult to keep the PS constant.

A MODEL OF AIR TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT AS PART OF AIRPORT AIR POLLUTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM / ORO TRANSPORTO PASKIRSTYMO MODELIS ORO UOSTO ORO TARŠOS VALDYMO SISTEMOJE

The critical concern of modern airports is the air pollution generated by air traffic and its impact on the airport environment. Air pollution is an unavoidable consequence of air traffic, but it can be reduced in numerous ways, including technical innovations in aircraft design and legislation. This paper presents a model of air traffic assignment as a measure to mitigate the concentration of air traffic pollution. The air traffic assignment model was developed specifically for Nikola Tesla Airport but could easily be applied to other airports. The model is based on the categorisation of aircraft according to engine type and the assignment of specific runways for take-off and landing for each aircraft category. It incorporates two basic goals: to increase airport capacity and to reduce the pollution level in the area around the airport. Although these goals are contradictory, it has been shown in the case of Nikola Tesla Airport that the proposed air traffic assignment model successfully creates pollution level equilibrium in the area around the runway thresholds and an increase in airport capacity. The paper suggests pollution measurement points as the basis for a pollution management tool and system for daily air traffic pollution control. Santrauka Šiame straipsnyje aprašomas oro transporto paskirstymo modelis, leidžiantis sumažinti oro transporto srautų sukeliamą oro taršą. Šis modelis sukurtas Nikola Tesla oro uostui, bet yra lengvai pritaikomas ir kitiems oro uostams. Modelio pagrindas – tai orlaivių klasifikavimas pagal variklių tipus ir tam tikrų KTT paskyrimas atitinkamoms kategorijoms. Siekiama išnaudoti visas oro uosto galimybes ir sumažinti taršos lygį. Nors tikslai atrodo priešingi, tačiau įrodyta, kad pasiūlytas oro transporto paskirstymo modelis sėkmingai išlaiko taršos lygio pasiskirstymą prie KTT pradžios ir padidina oro uosto galimybes. Taip pat siūlomi tinkami taršos matavimo taškai kasdienei oro taršos kontrolei.

Résumé Comment le goût de la culture vient-il aux enfants et comment celui-ci évolue-t-il au cours de cette période qui les fait passer de l’enfance à la grande adolescence ? Comment le fait de regarder la télévision, écouter la radio et de la musique, lire des livres et des magazines, jouer à des jeux vidéo, utiliser l’ordinateur et naviguer sur l’internet s’inscrit-il dans le quotidien des jeunes générations et dans quelle mesure contribue-t-il à leur construction identitaire ? Issue d’une enquête longitudinale de grande ampleur qui a suivi les mêmes enfants (près de 4 000) depuis l’âge de 11 ans (en 2002) jusqu’à 17 ans (en 2008), l’étude décrit la fréquence et la diversité des pratiques, usages et consommations des adolescents et l’influence des instances de transmission (parents, famille, école, institutions culturelles, etc.). Cette observation inédite des comportements culturels contribue à la connaissance de la sociologie des jeunes publics, et des trajectoires des enfants au fil des années, entre prises et déprises pour la culture.
La marine nationale et la guerre du Golfe

Résumé Pendant la guerre du Golfe (1990-1991), la marine nationale participe activement à la montée en puissance de la coalition constituée contre l’Irak. Mais, après que les actions coercitives ont trouvé leurs limites, elle est exclue des combats menés pour libérer le Koweït. Comme pour l’ensemble des forces armées françaises, les modalités de son engagement face au triple défi représenté par l’ampleur du conflit, les nouvelles capacités de combat mises en œuvre et la nécessité d’agir dans un cadre interallié remettent en cause le modèle français des interventions extérieures à la fin de la guerre Froide.

« Printemps arabe » : entre autoritarisme et démocratie

Published: January 2012

Les révolutions arabes s’inscrivent dans un temps long qui a vu la progressive transformation des États paternalistes postcoloniaux en États prédateurs. Dans les meilleurs des cas, les stratégies de survie des régimes autoritaires ont mis en œuvre des libéralisations en trompe l’œil et se sont appuyées sur la légitimité que leur octroyait un Occident obsédé par la déstabilisation de la région. Mais le passage du surgissement révolutionnaire à l’avènement démocratique pourrait s’avérer long.
