Ubuntu or Botho African Culture and Corporate Governance: A Case for Diversity in Corporate Boards
Authors: Magang Tebogo Israel Teddy , Magang Veronica Goitsemang
Published: December 2017

This paper aims to provide a theoretical analysis on the relationship between nationality/ethnicity and compliance with international best practice corporate governance principles. Using Hofstede-Gray cultural-accounting dimensions, the paper attempts to demonstrate that the Ubuntu/Botho culture may in some instances promote/not promote compliance with international best practice corporate governance principles because of the value system(s) of this culture. In view of this, the paper further attempts to present a case for diversity in corporate boards and executive management to enhance corporate compliance with best practice corporate governance principles, performance, disclosure etc. in line with the literature and theoretical arguments on diversity.On one hand, this paper provides future research an opportunity to empirically assess the relationship between corporate compliance with international best practice and nationality/ethnicity (Ubuntu/Botho culture). Future research could also investigate whether the Ubuntu/Botho values hold true today in view of the autocratic regimes in the African continent which have perfected a culture of impunity, corruption and bad governance.
Preliminary e ects of mathematics curriculum development for primary school student teachers in Sárospatak Comenius Campus
Authors: Gyöngyösi-Wiersum Erika
Published: December 2017

Hungarian students' mathematics performance has been getting weaker in the past few years. A possible solution to stop this tendency is to develop curriculum. Therefore, Hungarian researchers have been refining a particular framework of curriculum development in primary school teacher training programmes. The national curriculum is designed on the assumption that learning can be broken into a sequence of levels and students can evenly succeed in gaining knowledge at successive levels. In this paper, we want to discuss how to reduce students' difficulties with different background to grow competence at successive levels.

Moderating Effect of Political Risk on the Relationship between Capital Expenditure and Sectoral Economic Growth in Kenya
Authors: Molonko Brenda , Ampah Samuel Nathaniel
Published: December 2017

The study sought to determine the effect of capital expenditure on Sectoral economic growth and the moderating effect of political risk on the relationship using Auto Regressive Distributed Lag model. The study targeted 11 sectors that receive government expenditure and adopted positivist philosophy and a causal research design. Secondary data for the period 2006-2015 was collected from Kenya National Bureau of Statistics Statistical Abstracts, Kenya National Audit Office reports and Political Risk Group reports. The study conducted Hausman Test, Panel Stationarity Test and Heterogeneity Test as preliminary tests. The study found that capital expenditure has a significant effect on Sectoral economic growth both in the long run and short run. The study further found that political risk has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between capital expenditure and Sectoral economic growth in the long run at the significance level of 0.05. The study concluded that capital expenditure has an effect on sectoral economic growth in Kenya both instantaneously and in the long run. As well, Political risk curbs the effect of capital expenditure in the long run. The study recommends enhancement of capital expenditure. Additionally, the government should enhance political stability to accelerate growth.
Factors that Influence the Rate of Unemployment in Indonesia
Authors: Puspadjuita Erna A. R.
Published: December 2017

This research was aimed at analyzing the effect of urbanization, industrialization, labor force level, the elasticity of labor force and minimum regional wage rate in Indonesia. The analysis technique used were descriptive and multiple linear regression. The result on α = 5% shows that the labor force variable was significant to unemployment level in Indonesia. Industrialization shows a positive effect and non-significant to unemployment level, it means that the capability of industrial sector is lower in reducing unemployment compared with agricultural sector and service sector. The elasticity of labor force is negative and non-significant to unemployment sector. The result of regression shows that the elasticity of labor force is non-significant to unemployment level. The variable of minimum regional wage rate shows negative effect and non-significant to unemployment level means that the wage rate is not invisible.
Intergenerational Transmission of Authoritative Parenting Style: Evidence from Japan
Authors: Zhang Lin , Ikeda Shinsuke
Published: December 2017

We examine and verify our hypothesis from a theoretical model that parents are more likely to be authoritative if they are from wealthy families. Using the data from the Preference Parameters Study of Osaka University, Japan, we find that there are significantly positive associations between respondents’ authoritative parenting style and their family living standards when 15 years old. This result shows how childhood family economic status influences the intergenerational transmission of parenting style.
Reasons and Ramifications of Tardy Marriages among Educated Muslim Women Folk in Indian Controlled Kashmir: An Introspection from Social Psychology Standpoint
Authors: Hamid Suriya
Published: December 2017

Since times immemorial, marriage is considered as an act by virtue of which two individuals make their relationship manifest in terms of a bond that putatively lasts for life time. Spiritually, marriages are believed to be settled in heavens and solemnized on earth. This metaphoric scenario is often practiced other way round in the valley of Kashmir. As a matter of fact, the process of seeking a life associate and its consolidation in terms of marriage is so cumbersome and unenviable that it often leads the women folk of Kashmir into cyclic rethinking about its eudaemonia. In the anticipation of endorsements for a happy married life with the tendency of zeroing risk factors, the dingy psycho-evolved system that is dominant now-a-days leads the Kashmir phratry towards the manifestation of tardy marriages. This piece of research work aims to ascertain the reasons and axiomatic ramifications that lead to tardy marriages among educated Muslim Women folk in Kashmir Valley. This study is also an attempt to comprehend the social stratification and cultural dynamics of Kashmir as is introspected from social psychology standpoint. This paper unfolds the coalescing systematics of major issues and complexities of tardy marriages in order to present a strategic arduous solution to counter and castigate this imperil that creates distortion and soreness in the social fabric of Kashmir.
Stigmatization in dermatology with a special focus on psoriatic patients
Authors: Dimitrov Dimitre , Szepietowski Jacek C.
Published: December 2017

A stigma is currently defined as a discrediting mark, biological or social, that sets a person off from others and disrupts interactions with them. People who differ from social norms in some respect are often negatively labeled. A number of medical conditions are recognized at present as stigmatizing their sufferers and certain skin diseases are among them.
The article aimed to analyze the current understanding about stigmatization among dermatological patients, especially those with psoriasis.
We performed our search on PubMed up to November 2016 and utilized combinations of key phrases containing such words as stigmatization, skin, dermatology, names of various skin conditions (psoriasis, vitiligo, acne, etc.). Following a precise selection process, 58 articles remained.
Stigmatization seems to be a common and important problem in dermatology. Psoriasis appears as the most frequently studied skin disease (37.2% of articles). It was followed by vitiligo (13.7%) and leprosy (8.6%). Mainly, the visibility of skin lesions as well as cultural factors contribute to the feeling of stigmatization. There is a need for more research in the field of stigmatization in dermatological conditions and an urgent need for the creation of special anti-stigmatization program/programs for patients suffering from dermatoses.
Exchange Rate Pass-Through in Turkey before and after the Adoption of Inflation Targeting Regime
Authors: Karahan Özcan
Published: December 2017

The impact of exchange rate change on the domestic price level which is called as exchange rate pass through has long been of interest in international economics literature. Along with the application of inflation targeting regime widely, the focus of this interest has also evolved to examine the changes in degree and speed of exchange rate pass through under inflation targeting regime. Turkey, adopted Inflation Targeting (IT) as a monetary regime between 2001 and 2006 implicitly and then explicitly, exhibits which was a genuine experience to be analyzed in this respect. From this point of view, the goal of the study is to provide a time-series analysis of exchange rate pass-through for Turkish economy based on single equation Error Correction Model estimation using the monthly data under pre-IT period 1995-2000 and post-IT period 2006-2014. Thus, we try to clarify the effectiveness of inflation targeting regime as monetary policy on the exchange rate pass-through. The findings of the study indicate that the exchange rate pass-through decreased in the post-IT period compared to pre- IT period. Accordingly, it can be argued that the implication of inflation targeting regime reduced exchange rate pass through in Turkey.
Banking Rating Systems for IRB: Comparison of Three Systems from German-speaking Environment
Authors: Svítil Martin
Published: December 2017

The aim of the article is to compare several rating systems used by banks and their affiliates, especially in German-speaking countries. The research is focused on the rating of business entities, more precisely the corporate ones, (especially limited liability companies or joint-stock companies). In particular, two aspects of the rating of the corporations are highlighted in the rating system comparison, namely: (i) which quantitative indicators are used for the calculation of the hard-facts and (ii) how the soft-facts are included in the rating system. The result of the research shows, that concerning the quantitative indicators (i), the highest emphasis is put on the capital structure of an enterprise (whether in the form of Equity to Liabilities or Equity to Total assets) in all compared rating systems. Concerning the other indicators used for the calculation, the monitored rating systems are different, and the total number of indicators also differs (from 6 to 9). For soft-facts (ii) all rating systems agree on some of the queries (e.g. the sensitivity of the rated entity to market fluctuations), but otherwise the number and the topics of the queries overlap only partially.
Propaganda dinástica, militar y religiosa en las monedas de Julia Domna = Dynastic, Military and Religious Propaganda in the Coins of Julia Domna
Authors: Royo Martínez María del Mar
Published: December 2017

En el presente artículo hacemos un breve repaso a las principales series monetales que honraron a Julia Domna, especialmente a aquellas que podríamos considerar de “nuevo cuño”, por presentar diseños y leyendas no utilizados en las monedas de las emperatrices de la dinastía Antonina, o por mostrar representaciones similares pero con variaciones de interés. Dichas series estuvieron relacionadas con dos aspectos muy concretos de la vida de la emperatriz: el militar y el religioso, vividos tanto durante el reinado de su marido Septimio Severo, como en el de su hijo Caracalla.In this article we make a brief review of the main monetary series that honored Julia Domna, especially of those that present designs and legends not used in the coins of the empresses of the dynasty Antonina, or those that show similar representations but with variations of interest. These series were related to two very specific aspects of the life of the empress: the military and the religious, lived both during the reign of her husband Septimius Severus, and in that of his son Caracalla.

La magia en la Galia merovingia = Magic in Merovingian Gaul
Authors: Jiménez Sánchez Juan Antonio , Maymó i Capdevila Pere
Published: December 2017

En el presente trabajo estudiamos los testimonios sobre magia documentados en la Galia entre finales del siglo V y mediados del siglo VIII, período en que este territorio estuvo parcial o totalmente bajo dominio merovingio. Para ello, recurriremos al análisis de la información proporcionada por una gran variedad documental: narraciones de tipo histórico, hagiografías, fuentes legislativas y canonísticas, así como también epigráficas. A partir de aquí, podemos colegir que la magia poseía una existencia innegable para los miembros de la sociedad franca, independientemente de su género, edad o condición social. También resultaba un problema preocupante para las élites dirigentes: las autoridades laicas persiguieron la magia negra mientras que las jerarquías eclesiásticas la condenaron bajo todas sus formas, maléfica y benéfica. Todo esto manifiesta que los vestigios paganizantes tenían una presencia mucho más real en la Galia merovingia de lo que admiten muchos autores actuales.In the present work we study the testimonies about magic documented in Gaul between the end of the fifth century and the middle of the eighth century, period in which this territory was partially or totally under Merovingian rule. To do this, we will analyse the information provided by a large variety of documents: historical narratives, hagiographies, legislative and canonical sources, as well as epigraphic. From here, we may infer that magic possessed an undeniable existence for the members of the Frankish society, regardless of gender, age or social status. It was also a troubling problem for ruling elites: lay authorities pursued black magic while ecclesiastical hierarchies condemned it in all its forms, evil and beneficent. All this manifests that the pagan traces had a much more real presence in Merovingian Gaul than many current authors admit.
El culto a Minerva en Tarraco= The Cult to Minerva in Tarraco
Authors: Ruiz Rodríguez Julio César
Published: December 2017

Se presenta una síntesis sobre el culto a Minerva en Tarraco a través de los testimonios arqueológicos disponibles. Se tienen en cuenta preferentemente las inscripciones por la riqueza informativa que aportan, pero también se examinan las evidencias escultóricas y la documentación arquitectónica relacionada con santuarios consagrados a la divinidad. Es notable el elevado número de evidencias relacionadas con Minerva en esta ciudad –contando especialmente con un nutrido conjunto epigráfico– destacando la variedad de grupos sociales adeptos de esta divinidad. Tarraco representa la ciudad hispanorromana de donde procede un mayor número de testimonios relacionados con el culto a Minerva, como consecuencia de tres factores principales: la llegada de soldados para la conquista de Hispania y su posterior establecimiento en la ciudad para gestiones relacionadas con el officium del gobernador provincial, el carácter estatal y capitolino de la diosa, y el esplendor de las artes y los oficios en el siglo II d.C.

Colonización y emigración en el Alto Guadalquivir (siglos I a.C.- II d.C.) = Colonization and Emigration in the Alto Guadalquivir (Centuries I BC - II AC)
Authors: Ortiz Córdoba José
Published: December 2017

El presente trabajo pretende realizar una aproximación a los procesos de colonización y emigración presentes en las colonias romanas deducidas en la región geográfica del Alto Guadalquivir en el periodo comprendido entre los siglos I a.C. y II d.C. Partiendo de un estudio del contexto histórico que nos aporta la colonización desarrollada por César y Augusto en el sur hispano y basándonos fundamentalmente en la documentación epigráfica disponible, trataremos de abordar el estudio del momento fundacional de las colonias de Tucci, Salaria e Iliturgi, los contingentes de población que participaron en sus respectivas deductiones, así como detallar la emigración posterior que sobre ellas se proyecta; igualmente abordaremos el estudio de los individuos que, habiendo nacido en estas colonias, deciden trasladarse a otros lugares de la geografía peninsular o imperial.The current paper tries to make an approximation to the processes of colonization and emigration in the Roman colonies settled in the geographic region of Alto Guadalquivir from the first century BC. to the second century AD. Thanks to the study of the historical context of the colonization carried out by Caesar and Augustus in the south of the Iberian Peninsula and the available epigraphic documentation, we will try to approach the study of the foundation of the colonies of Tucci, Salaria and Iliturgi, the groups of population that participated in their respective settlement, as well as to detail the subsequent emigration projected on them; we will also study the individuals born in these colonies that decided to move to other places of the peninsular or imperial geography.
La leyenda troyana en la Antigüedad Tardía. Una aproximación a los poemas de Dioscoro de Afrodito = The Trojan Legend in Late Antiquity. An Approach to the Poetry of Dioscorus of Aphrodito
Authors: Movellán Luis Mireia
Published: December 2017

La leyenda troyana se configura como relato literario a lo largo de la Antigüedad expandiendo y modificando los diferentes episodios que la componen. El estudio de la utilización de la leyenda en los poemas conservados del puño y letra de Dioscoro de Afrodito, autor del siglo VI, nos permiten aproximarnos a la evolución y configuración del canon troyano, así como a las obras clásicas todavía disponibles en su época y al resto de fuentes que le sirvieron como modelo para sus composiciones.The Trojan legend becomes a literary narrative throughout Antiquity expanding and modifying its different episodes. The study of this legend in Dioscorus of Aphrodito’s autograph poems (from 6th century BC), allows us to grasp the evolution and configuration of the Trojan canon, the classical works still available in his time, and other sources used as a model for his compositions.
Molecular analysis of populations of the invasive species Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier, 1790 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in the Region of Murcia (Spain)
Authors: Lozano-Terol Miguel , Rodríguez-García María Juliana , Galián José
Published: December 2017

En este estudio se analizan dos fragmentos del gen de la citocromo c oxidasa subunidad I (COX1) del ADN mitocondrial de 61 individuos del género Rhynchophorus colectados en la Región de Murcia a fin de determinar su procedencia. El análisis filogenético del fragmento 1 de las muestras de la Región de Murcia conjuntamente con las secuencias disponibles en GenBank indica que los individuos corresponden a la especie Rhynchophorus ferrugineus.Las secuencias de Murcia se colapsan en un único haplotipo (H8 mediterráneo) que aparece dentro del clado de R. ferrugineus. De los análisis filogeográficos se infiere que el origen de los individuos de Murcia es Egipto. Adicionalmente, se examinó una región contigua del COX1 (fragmento 2) en la que las secuencias se colapsaron en dos haplotipos.

In this research two fragments of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COX1) gene of the mitochondrial DNA were analyzed in 61 individuals of the genus Rhynchophorus collected in the Region of Murcia with the aim of determining their origin. Phylogenetic analysis of fragment 1 of the samples collected in the Region of Murcia together with the available sequences in GenBank, indicated that these individuals correspond to the species R. ferrugineus. Sequences from Murcia collapsed into the H8 Mediterranean haplotype, which cluster into the R. ferrugineus clade. Phylogeographic analysis shows that the origin of the individuals collected in the Region of Murcia is Egypt. Additionally, a contiguous fragment of COX1 (fragment 2) was analyzed and the sequences collapsed into two haplotypes.
New contribution to the knowledge of two species of culicids inhabiting a mountainous rural area of Spain: Aedes (Rusticoidus) refiki (Medschid, 1928) and Aedes (Ochlerotatus) pullatus (Coquillett, 1904) (Diptera, Culicidae)

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a selection of teaching apps for the teaching and learning of both English and Spanish through sports. In the frame of a funded research project on Applied Linguistics to the teaching of modern languages through sports (Galindo Merino, 2016a), one of our aims is to apply ICT to this teaching approach (Botella Tejera et al., 2016; Sellés et al., 2016). Thus, 17 apps related to the teaching of languages through sports are explored. Specifically, we have selected different kinds of apps: language-based apps, language learning apps, three specific English through sports apps, and sport journals and TV channels apps. After presenting and analyzing them, we provide a wide range of activities to include them in the language classroom, in line with recent developments in task-based language teaching with technology..
Medical English teaching and beyond: A multimodal and integrated approach

ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to show how Medical English teaching materials may be improved by introducing multimodal tasks encouraging a holistic approach to communication. Medical English for Specific Purposes textbooks and coursebooks typically focus on how to speak effectively, but they fail to prepare doctors to speak and behave affectively, although it has been demonstrated that how doctors communicate is as important as what they communicate in order to build a therapeutic alliance with their patients (Ambady et al. 2002; Cao et al. 2016; DiMatteo et al. 1980; Hall 1995, among others). Teaching materials should thus include activities aimed at strengthening doctors’ ability to offer patient-centred care through mindful communication in association with specific body signals. A proof-of-concept teaching unit is provided here in order to exemplify how ESP materials could be made more responsive to the needs of professional practice by adopting a method that brings together targets for learning Medical English as well as counselling techniques.

Antibiotic Prophylaxis and DAIR Treatment in Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty, A National Survey in The Netherlands
Authors: Veltman Ewout S , F Dirk Jan , Nelissen Rob GHH , Poolman Rudolf W
Published: December 2017

Abstract. Background: To prevent postoperative infection the use of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis is common ground. Type of antibiotic used and duration of prophylaxis are subject to debate. In case of suspected early periprosthetic infection a debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) procedure is treatment of first choice. This study evaluated the antibiotic prophylaxis and DAIR treatment protocols nationwide as well as reporting of these DAIR procedures to the national joint registry.Methods: All institutions that performed total hip or knee arthroplasty were contacted to complete a 16-question online survey. Questions included availability of a protocol, type and duration of antibiotic prophylaxis used and tendency to register infectious complications in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register.Results: All ninety-nine consulted institutions responded to this survey. All but one institutions have a standardized hospital based protocol for antibiotic prophylaxis in primary total hip or knee arthroplasty. Cefazolin was antibiotic prophylaxis of choice in ninety-four institutions for both primary hip and knee arthroplasty. In ten institutions one preoperative gift of antibiotic prophylaxis was administered. A protocol describing treatment when suspecting early periprosthetic joint infection was present in seventy-one institutions. When performing a DAIR procedure modular parts were exchanged in seventy institutions in case of a hip prosthesis and in eighty-one institutions in case of a knee prosthesis. Sixty-three institutions register DAIR procedures in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register.Interpretation: In contradiction to the results of a recent study in Great Britain, we have found only little variety in availability of protocols and in the type of antibiotic used as prophylaxis in primary total hip and knee arthroplasty in The Netherlands. Not every institution has a protocol for treatment in suspicion of early infection. Although mobile parts are exchanged in the majority of cases, there appears to be an underreporting of DAIR procedures in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register.
L’étrangeté de l’étranger
Authors: Bambara Romuald Evariste
Published: December 2017

Entreprendre une approche phénoménologique de l’étranger, c’est s’engager dans le choix de décrire ce qui est indescriptible. Cette difficile saisie de l’étrangeté d’autrui s’explique par la difficulté de trouver des données figées dans l’espace et le temps pour caractériser celle-ci. Problème inhérent à l’humain en général, du fait que l’identité, c’est-à-dire ce qui singularise l’autre ou constitue sa spécificité, échappe à toute analyse. Elle est toujours en construction. L’altérité inaltérable de tout sujet est le non-synthétisable. D’où l’idée de procéder à un mode indirect de description phénoménologique afin de saisir dans l’étranger ce qui constitue son étrangeté ou son asymétrie irréductible. L’acceptation de cette dimension de liberté propre à l’étranger permet à l’autre ou au Moi de cohabiter avec lui. Quelle que soit la figure de l’étranger, le vivre ensemble est favorisé par l’élaboration d’une éthique de la rencontre qui incite à l’intégration de celui-ci avec son altérité ou sa transcendance et non le développement d’un communautarisme susceptible d’instaurer la rivalité entre les communautés.
L’écume des mondes
Authors: Jaclin David
Published: December 2017

Cet article revient sur les enjeux phénoménologiques, à la fois épistémiques et méthodologiques, soulevés par la recherche scientifique lorsque celle-ci s’intéresse au(x) vivant(s). Cent cinquante ans après A.R. Wallace et la publication de sonMalay Archipelago (1855) (dont je problématise ici un certain rapport à l’animal), j’offre une série d’éléments étho-ethnologiques issus d’un travail de terrain mené sur l’île de Bornéo au contact d’une communauté scientifique chargée de modéliser les logiques adaptatives d’espèces animales en situation de changements écologiques profonds. En actualisant le concept d’Umwelt, je défends l’argument suivant : la multiplicité de mo(n)des perceptifs impliquée dans l’enquête ethno-éthologique oblige à reconsidérer la simple appartenance taxonomique des organismes vivants au profit d’une diversité de registres interactionnels qui, productifs et co-constitutifs, sont ceux de la vie partagée et de ses prolongements transformationnels. En déplaçant de la sorte la focale du travail ethnographique depuis la prise en compte d’entités (pré)constituées – humains/animaux – vers celle de leur (co)constitution – humanimalités –, j’insiste sur l’importance des processus informationnels et communicationnels qui donnent forme à la vie et vie aux formes. C’est ainsi que je me demande, non pas ce que pourrait être une phénoménologie de l’animal ou encore une phénoménologie animale, mais plutôt ce que le partage d’une réalité phénoménologisable produit de rapports différentiels (notamment épistémiques) entre organismes vivants.
Domination et servitude dans le Brésil rural contemporain : le « travail esclave » rural migrant
Authors: Martig Alexis
Published: December 2017

Cet article se propose d’analyser le phénomène du « travail esclave » rural migrant apparu au Brésil depuis les années soixante. Pour ce faire, il part du discours de travailleurs ruraux libérés d’une situation de « travail esclave » pour montrer les différents aspects qui caractérisent la relation de domination du « travail esclave » rural migrant (tromperie, dette économique et dépersonnalisation). Il s’agira de penser, en la mettant en perspective avec d’autres formes traditionnelles de domination en milieu rural, la spécificité et l’historicité du « travail esclave ». On montrera ensuite comment le « travail esclave » constitue un « mode d’exploitation » et une relation de servitude en termes d’excès de domination dépassant la relation de dette économique et impliquant un rapport aux droits et à la citoyenneté symbolique. Enfin, on élargira la réflexion au contexte global de l’économie capitaliste en montrant comment l’analyse du « travail esclave » rural migrant peut contribuer aux réflexions sur l’esclavage contemporain.
« Mi have to work »
Authors: Johnson Michele A. , Kerbiriou Anne-Hélène
Published: December 2017

Parmi les dizaines de milliers de travailleurs ayant intégré le secteur de l’emploi domestique au XXe siècle en Jamaïque se trouvaient de jeunes personnes, dont la plupart étaient des jeunes filles, et quelques-unes encore des « enfants ». Tandis que certaines étaient recrutées en tant que servantes rémunérées, d’autres étaient placées (parfois sous la forme « d’adoptions » informelles) dans des maisonnées où elles effectuaient des tâches domestiques en échange du vivre et du couvert et dans l’espoir de recevoir un enseignement. Si généralisées qu’aient été ces conditions, on ne sait pas grand-chose de la façon dont ces « enfants » domestiques vivaient leur travail. Cet article s’efforce de contribuer aux discussions relatives au travail des enfants domestiques, au genre dans le travail domestique, aux adoptions informelles, à la construction de l’enfance, de même qu’au potentiel d’exploitation de ces enfants et même du travail servile. J’avance que la pérennité d’une ancienne culture du travail, des conditions de travail extrêmement diverses, des définitions de l’enfance sexuées, racialisées et de classe, situées à l’intersection des lois internationales et locales, ont créé un sous-secteur complexe de travailleuses dont les conditions de vie ont déstabilisé les catégories du travail domestique, de la servitude, de la famille et de l’enfance.
« Nou se pa bèt ! »
Authors: Girard Marie-Pier
Published: December 2017

Cet article est fondé sur une recherche ethnographique ayant intégré différentes techniques participatives avec des filles et des garçons (9 à 17 ans) d’origine haïtienne qui ont migré clandestinement vers la région touristique de Sosúa (République dominicaine) à la suite du tremblement de terre de 2010. À partir d’une approche d’économie politique et culturelle de l’enfance, j’y propose une réflexion à la fois critique et engagée sur l’exploitation infantile. Plus précisément, je mets en évidence l’écart qui existe entre les expériences et voix localisées des jeunes migrants, et les discours dominants globalisés sur le trafic et la traite des enfants ainsi que sur leur exploitation sexuelle à des fins commerciales. Je montre ainsi l’impérative nécessité de revoir les paramètres actuels de pensée et d’action à l’égard de ces deux formes d’exploitation infantile, de même que je plaide en faveur d’une véritable prise en considération des perspectives des enfants qui en font l’expérience.
L’analyse des réseaux dans les activités d’innovation des PME : le rôle oublié de l’homophilie1
Authors: Trépanier Michel , Aka Kadia Georges
Published: December 2017

La recherche sur l’innovation dans les PME s’est beaucoup intéressée à la place et au rôle des réseaux. Dans ces travaux, tout se passe comme si toutes les relations étaient possibles et également probables. Or, rien n’est plus inexact : toutes les relations n’ont pas la même probabilité d’exister et les réseaux sont eux aussi structurés et hiérarchisés. En analyse de réseaux, cette observation classique renvoie au principe d’homophilie ; principe selon lequel, dans les réseaux, les personnes ou les organisations qui sont en relation sont semblables parce qu’elles ont tendance à partager un ensemble de caractéristiques sociales et organisationnelles. À partir d’une étude exploratoire centrée sur des entretiens réalisés dans des entreprises oeuvrant dans l’industrie des technologies propres, nous verrons comment le principe d’homophilie s’avère nécessaire à la compréhension, d’une part, de l’existence même des relations observées dans les activités d’innovation des PME et, d’autre part, de leur capacité à donner accès aux ressources, dont ont besoin ces dernières dans leurs projets.

La Comèdia de la General Conquista de Mallorca en relació amb el context cultural del sis-cents
Authors: Darder-Moll August
Published: December 2017

Resum: A l’article analitzem una obra teatral mallorquina de finals del segle xvii que porta per títol Comèdia de la General Conquista de Mallorca. Del seu autor no en sabem més que el nom, Pere Antoni Bernat. Hem volgut situar aquesta obra en l’àmbit sociocultural del moment, i per a això ens hem centrat principalment en quatre aspectes: el contextual, per veure les condicions que pogueren afavorir la gestació d’una obra d’aquestes característiques; l’històric, per a la qual cosa ens hem fixat en el contingut de la Comèdia en relació amb la historiografia; el formal, amb les possibles influències que hem pogut trobar de la literatura de l’època; i l’ideològic, consistent en una anàlisi dels valors que l’obra transmet.  Paraules clau: Jaume I, conquesta de Mallorca, teatre barroc mallorquí, comèdia de moros i cristians Abstract: In the article we analyse a Majorcan theatre piece entitled Comèdia de la General Conquista de Mallorca that was written at the end of the seventeenth century. About the author we only know his name, Pere Antoni Bernat. We wanted to put this work in relation to the sociocultural environment of its time, and to do so we have focused on four main aspects: the contextual one, in order to see the conditions that could have favoured the creation of a work with such characteristics; the historical one, for which we have fixed on the Comèdia’s contents related to some historiographical works; the formal one, which includes the influences of contemporary literature that we have been able to trace in the work; and the ideological one, which consists in an analysis of the values that the work transmits.  Keywords: James I, conquest of Majorca, Majorcan baroque theatre, comedy of Moors and Christians
A primera sang: batalles nupcials en la Catalunya barroca. Els epitalamis al galant Alba de Francesc Fontanella
Authors: Garcia Busquets Anna
Published: December 2017

Resum: A l’antiga Grècia i Roma els epitalamis actuaven com a preludi eròtic de la nit nupcial. Claudià, a l’antiguitat tardana, va tractar el motiu del desflorament com a pugna amoris amb lasciu refinament. A partir del Quattrocento italià, l’Europa moderna va reprendre amb profusió aquesta tradició laudatòria d’erotisme estilitzat amb cants consagrats a la unió de les famílies il·lustres. El poeta barroc Francesc Fontanella (1622-1682/83) va compondre quatre magnífics epitalamis dedicats a les noces d’un enigmàtic personatge: el ‘galant Alba’. Diversos estudis han intentat, sense èxit, desvelar-ne la identitat. En aquestes composicions, Fontanella va emprar un llenguatge refinat i metafòric per descriure gradualment els estadis que porten a la unió carnal entesa com a lluita amorosa: els versos, rics en imatges florals i minerals, s’han de reconvertir al seu sentit concret a través d’una doble lectura. L’estudi inclou l’edició crítica dels textos i la contextualització del cicle dins del corpus epitalàmic europeu, així com una argumentació sobre la possible identitat dels protagonistes. Paraules clau: literatura catalana moderna; poesia barroca; epitalami; Francesc Fontanella Abstract: In ancient Greece and Rome, epithalamia acted as an erotic prelude to the wedding night. In Late Antiquity, Claudian explored the theme of deflowering as pugna amoris with lascivious refinement. As of 15th century Italian poets, modern Europe recommenced this laudatory tradition of stylised eroticism with songs devoted to the union of illustrious families. The Baroque poet Francesc Fontanella (1622-1682/3) composed four magnificent epithalamia dedicated to the wedding of an enigmatic character: ‘gallant Alba’, of whom several studies have tried, unsuccessfully, to reveal his identity. In these compositions, Fontanella employed refined, metaphorical language to gradually describe the stages of carnal union understood as a love battle: the verses, rich in floral and mineral imagery, must be transformed into their particular meaning through double reading. The study includes the critical edition of the texts and a contextualisation of the series within the European corpus of epithalamia, as well as an argument on the possible identity of the protagonists. Keywords: Early modern Catalan literature; Baroque poetry; epithalamium; Francesc Fontanella
Els llindars de les Alonsíades. Els paratexts en La Alonsíada, de Joan Ramis, i L’Alonsíada, de Vicenç Albertí
Authors: Martínez Mayor Carlos
Published: December 2017

Resum: El 1818, l’il·lustrat menorquí Joan Ramis i Ramis (1746-1819) va publicar La Alonsíada, un poema èpic en castellà que narra la conquesta per part d’Alfons III d’Aragó de l’illa de Menorca l’any 1287, aleshores en mans sarraïnes. El mateix any es va imprimir també la traducció del text al català, L’Alonsíada, a cura del seu coetani Vicenç Albertí i Vidal (1786-1859). Tot i que es tracten d’una obra original i la seua traducció, hi ha diferències notables en la presentació de les dues versions. Aquestes divergències afectes aspectes de caire civil i polític, com són la finalitat de cada text o el públic al qual estaven adreçats. En aquesta línia, són molt interessants les implicacions que es desprenen dels paratexts presents en cadascuna de les composicions, ja que posen de manifest les distintes direccions preses per cada autor. Així doncs, en aquest article, partint de la tipologia paratextual proposada per Gérard Genette en Umbrales (1987), hem analitzat les diferències existents entre els paratexts de les dues obres. Aquest estudi ens ha permés concretar els punts civils i polítics en què divergeixen, els motius que van poder provocar les dissensions i la manera com es concreten en la globalitat de les dues obres. Paraules clau: La Alonsíada, Joan Ramis, L’Alonsíada, Vicenç Albertí, paratext Abstract: In 1818, the Menorcan enlightened Joan Ramis i Ramis (1746-1819) published La Alonsíada, an epic poem in Spanish that narrates the conquest by Alfons III of Aragon of the island of Menorca in 1287, then in Saracen hands. In the same year, the Catalan translation of the text, L’Alonsíada, was also printed by his contemporary Vicenç Albertí i Vidal (1786-1859). Although they are an original work and its translation, there are notable differences in the presentation of the two versions. These divergences affect aspects of civil and political nature, such as the purpose of each text or the audience to which they were addressed. In this line, the implications that arise from the paratexts present in each of the compositions are very interesting, since they show the different directions taken by each author. Thus, in this article, based on the paratextual typology proposed by Gérard Genette in Paratext: Tresholds of interpretation (1987), we have analyzed the differences between the paratexts of the two works. This study has allowed us to specify the civil and political points in which they diverge, the reasons that could cause the dissensions and the manner in which they are specified in the globality of the two works. Keywords: La Alonsíada, Joan Ramis, L’Alonsíada, Vicenç Albertí, paratext
El final del bandoler: aproximació a la literatura de patíbul de la Corona d’Aragó
Authors: Llinares Planells Alejandro
Published: December 2017

Resum: Durant l’època moderna s’imprimiren nombrosos plecs de cordell relacionats amb el bandolerisme en els territoris de la Corona d’Aragó. Una part important d’aquests textos populars és el final que rep el protagonista de la història, què normalment solia acabar en el patíbul. Per eixa raó, el present article posa l’accent en un tema poc tractat fins al moment com són les execucions públiques en aquest tipus de relats literaris. En aquestes pàgines s’estudia, per una banda, el ritual punitiu que sofria el reu quan anava a ser executat: formes d’execució, turments, penes corporals o la intenció que tenien els pamflets que s’imprimien. Per altra, es comparen documents judicials amb els plecs de cordell per a demostrar que podria existir un traspàs d’informació entre els òrgans de justícia i les persones encarregades d’escriure els plecs.  Paraules Claus: Bandoler, literatura popular, patíbul, pena capital, literatura de canya i cordell. Abstract: During the modern era, numerous cord folders related to banditry were printed in the territories of the Crown of Aragon. A relevant part of these popular fiction tales is the end that the main characters of these stories usually suffer:  being hanged in the gallows. This paper focuses on a little-known topic so far, such as public executions in literary texts. In these pages, I'll discuss the punitive ritual suffered by the criminal when he was going to be executed: forms of execution; torture; and the social and cultural intentionality theses chapbooks had. Furthermore, judicial documents will be compared with chapbooks in order to show that there could be a transfer of information between law institutions and the autors of these popular poems.Keywords: Bandit, popular literature, gallows, death penalty, chapbook.
