Аbstract. The significance of the problem of acute cholecystitis in the elderly and senile is due to a high increase in the incidence, the presence of marked concomitant diseases.

There is no literature data on a comparative analysis of early post-surgery complications of acute destructive cholecystitis in elderly and senile patients with concomitant coronary heart disease after traditional cholecystectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The Aim of the study is a comparative analysis of the nature of early post-surgery complications after traditional cholecystectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy of acute destructive cholecystitis in the elderly and senile with concomitant coronary heart disease.

Materials and methods of research. A comparative analysis of early post-surgery complications was performed in 392 patients aged 60 and over with concomitant coronary heart disease who underwent surgical treatment for acute destructive cholecystitis. Depending on the method of surgical treatment, patients were divided into two groups: the І group (n = 178) — surgical treatment was carried out in the amount of traditional cholecystectomy, sanitation of the abdominal cavity with saline and decasan solution; the ІІ group (n = 214) — surgical treatment included laparoscopic cholecystectomy, sanitation of the abdominal cavity with saline and «decasan» solution, extraction of the gallbladder in a rubber sterile container through a subxiphoid wound, which, after removal of the gallbladder, was sanitized with «decasan» solution.

Research results. Complications from the cardiovascular system in the 1st group were noted in 2.8 % of patients, pneumonia — 1.1 %, from the abdominal cavity — 8.5 %, wounds — 25.8 %, postoperative intestinal paresis — 19, 1 %, mortality — 1.1 %. In the 2nd group, complications from the cardiovascular system — 0.5 %, from the abdominal cavity — 4.7 %, wounds — 4.2 %, postoperative intestinal paresis — 8.4 %, mortality — 0.5 %. Complications related to bile leakage, the development of biloma or biliary peritonitis in the groups did not differ.

Conclusions. The use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute destructive cholecystitis in elderly people with concomitant coronary heart disease has reduced the number of postoperative complications from the cardiovascular system compared with traditional cholecystectomy from 2.8 % to 0.5 %, from the abdominal cavity — from 8.5 to 4.7 %, from the side of the wound — from 25.8 to 4.2 %, reduce mortality from 1.1 to 0.5 %.

Summary. Aim of work: to determine and compare the level of visualization, comfort, safety and effectiveness of simultaneous technique of laparoscopic surgery of gallstone disease and concomitant hiatal hernia and standard «baseball diamond» technique of laparoscopic surgery of only hiatal hernia.

Materials and methods: the study was performed based on data developed in MISU VRCH. 359 patients were treated and divided on two groups, of which the group №1 — patients who underwent simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cruroraphy with Toupet fundoplication (n=155), and group №2 — patients who underwent only laparoscopic crurography with with Toupet fundoplication. The level of visualization, comfort, frequency of «fencing», duration of operation, length of hospital stay, complication frequency were determined. The method with the null hypothesis, Pearson’s analysis, Mann-Whitney method were used.

The results of the study: the approach distance of the laparoscope was (8,11 ± 0,917) and (8,71 ± 0,256) cm for 30°-optics while (6,55 ± 0,491) and (6,66 ± 0,485) cm for 0°-optics in two groups, respectively. The frequency of fencing was just about 4 episodes in both groups and did not differ statistically significantly. The frequency of the need to change the viewing area` and the frequency of the need to change the position of the instruments did not differ statistically significantly in both groups. The operation time was longer in the group of simultaneous operations by 10 % or 4,24 minutes. The level of complications was comparable in both groups, no correlation was found. The length of hospital stay was (3,64 ± 0,71) days (2-8 days) versus (3,58 ± 0,67) days (2-8 days) for both groups, respectively (p = 0.967).

Published: February 2021

Summary. Introduction. Warming in Ukraine leads to the displacement of warm zones to colder ones, and at the same time, to the removal of colonization zones of many insectivores, which are carriers of rare diseases in Ukraine.

Materials and methods. Clinical observation of Dirophilaria immitis of the pleural cavity is given. The patient was treated for «pneumonia» by a family doctor and a district therapist for two months. Only after consultation with a thoracic phthisiosurgeon was diagnosed with chronic pleural empyema and performed pleurectomy. A living string-like body was found in the pleural sac, which turned out to be D. immitis.

Results and discussion of observations. The diagnosis of «pneumonia» was established on the basis of the clinical picture without a detailed physical and radiological examination, which is methodologically erroneous. If the patient was observed or consulted by a specialist, surgery could be performed earlier, in the first stage of chronic disease.

Conclusions. In the differential diagnosis of pleural diseases, a detailed physical and radiological examination in two projections and anamnesis leads: human bites by mosquitoes in wet places, as they are the final hosts of D. Immitis and D. repens.
State Supervision of the Periodicals Distribution System in Russia in the Early 20th Century
Authors: Крылова Е.Н.
Published: February 2021

В статье затронут малоизученный аспект государственного контроля за системой распространения периодических изданий в России на примере столичных городов в начале ХХ века. Цель исследования — выявить основные каналы распространения столичных газет в начале ХХ века
и определить механизмы государственного контроля за системой дистрибуции периодической печати. На основе имеющихся архивных источников автор приходит к выводу, что основными каналами распространения столичной прессы были подписка, розничная продажа в разнос и в магазинах
и на железных дорогах. К началу Первой мировой войны система дистрибуции периодических изданий постепенно менялась. Нормативные акты, принятые в конце XIX века, уже не позволяли эффективно контролировать распространение информации, а правительственные меры предпринимались запоздало или были незначительны. Существовавшая система государственного контроля за системой дистрибуции не могла оперативно реагировать на кризис, что способствовало распространению нежелательной для правительства информации среди населения, в том числе запрещенной литературы. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы в первую очередь при подготовке общих курсов по истории России, чтении курсов лекций и спецкурсов по истории журналистики.

The article treats some under-investigated issues associated with the state supervision of the periodicals circulation and distribution system in Russia in the early 20th century. The aim of the research
is to study the main channels of capital newspapers circulation and distribution in the early 20th century and to identify the mechanisms of state supervision of the periodicals distribution system. The analysis
of archival materials enables the author to conclude that capital newspapers were distributed via subscription, retailing, train station retail, and delivery. During the pre-war period, the system of newspaper distribution was undergoing gradual changes. Normative acts issued in the late 19thcentury were no longer enough to efficiently control the spread of information; state measures were often insufficient and untimely. The existing system of state supervision of newspaper distribution failed to respond to the crisis, therefore the public had an access to information the government wished to conceal and to literature that was forbidden. The validity of the results of the research will be recognized by lecturers, by teachers who conduct Russian history classes, by teachers conducting classes in the history of journalism.
ENHANCEMENT OF BID DECISION-MAKING IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS: A RELIABILITY ANALYSIS APPROACH

Published: February 2021

Various risks significantly influence pricing of bids and a wide range of factors impact bid pricing risks. Of these, client’s reputation and the record of projects owned by a client have vital contribution on the issue. Current practices however fail to capture the impacts of client-related factors. There is a need for developing a practical quantitative approach, which enables estimators to process bid risk allocation easily. Through reliability analysis, the developed method proposed in this study enables practitioners to make informed bid/no-bid decisions based on estimating the probabilities of schedule and cost overruns. Estimating the probability of project failure enables estimators to quantify the risk element of bid price. In addition, schedule and cost overrun cumulative probability distributions can be used to estimate the expected value of these variables. The practicability of this proposed method is tested by empirical data obtained from 40 university construction projects of one client, for estimating the bid price of a low-rise building. For researchers, findings provide illuminating insight into the potential of using reliability analysis as a valuable tool for bid decision-making practices. So too, the proposed method offers a blueprint for estimating and calculating time and contingency – and managing associated risks – in planning construction projects. The contribution of this study for the world of practice lies in providing a simple, rapid and cost-effective method for bid decision-making processes.
STUDY ON DYNAMIC INFLUENCE OF PASSENGER FLOW ON INTELLIGENT BUS TRAVEL SERVICE MODEL
Authors: Liu Sha , Li Xiang , He Chuanni
Published: February 2021

To improve the service quality and convenience of bus travel services, this paper proposes the Intelligent Bus Travel Service Model (IBTSM). The IBTSM makes it possible to provide a travel strategy considering every aspect of bus travel, specifically, delay in the peak period arising from limited carrying-capacities of buses. A three-step approach was executed toward implementing the IBTSM. First, the bus travel-time was predicted using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). Next, the crowding level in the bus was evaluated using a fuzzy expert system, based on which a reasonable start-off time was planned, and the delay caused by large passenger flow was circumvented. The k-Nearest Neighbours (k-NN) algorithm was used to provide input data of passenger flow. In this study, the correlation between passenger flow variation and bus services was investigated to extend the provisions of the travel strategy to include start-off time scheduling and target bus selection, rather than only bus running-time estimation. The proposed model was evaluated using a bus in China as a case study, and its reliability and positive impact on promoting both the quality of bus services and development of intelligent travel were demonstrated.
Broad-velocity-width Molecular Features in the Galactic Plane

Published: February 2021

We performed a systematic search for broad-velocity-width molecular features (BVFs) in the disk part of our Galaxy by using the CO J = 1–0 survey data obtained with the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45 m telescope. From this search, 58 BVFs were identified. In comparisons with the infrared and radio continuum images, 36 BVFs appeared to have both infrared and radio continuum counterparts, and 15 of them are described as molecular outflows from young stellar objects in the literature. In addition, 21 BVFs have infrared counterparts only, and eight of them are described as molecular outflows in the literature. One BVF (CO 16.134–0.553) does not have any luminous counterpart in the other wavelengths, which suggests that it may be an analog of high-velocity compact clouds in the Galactic center.
Revealing the Structure and Internal Rotation of the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy with Gaia and Machine Learning

Published: February 2021

We present a detailed study of the internal structure and kinematics of the core of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr). Using machine-learning techniques, we have combined the information provided by 3300 RR Lyrae stars, more than 2000 spectroscopically observed stars, and the Gaia second data release to derive the full phase space, i.e., 3D positions and kinematics, of more than 1.2 × 105 member stars in the core of the galaxy. Our results show that Sgr has a bar structure ∼2.5 kpc long, and that tidal tails emerge from its tips to form what it is known as the Sgr stream. The main body of the galaxy, strongly sheared by tidal forces, is a triaxial (almost prolate) ellipsoid with its longest principal axis of inertia inclined 43° ± 6° with respect to the plane of the sky and axis ratios of 1:0.67:0.60. Its external regions are expanding mainly along its longest principal axis, yet the galaxy conserves an inner core of about 500×330×300 pc that shows no net expansion and is rotating at v
rot = 4.13 ± 0.16 km s−1. The internal angular momentum of the galaxy forms an angle θ = 18° ± 6° with respect to its orbital angular momentum, meaning that Sgr is in an inclined prograde orbit around the Milky Way. We compared our results with predictions from N-body models with spherical, pressure-supported progenitors and a model whose progenitor is a flattened rotating disk. Only the rotating model, based on preexisting simulations aimed at reproducing the line-of-sight velocity gradients observed in Sgr, was able to reproduce the observed properties in the core of the galaxy.

Published: February 2021

We present limits on the lens flux of OGLE-2007-BLG-224 based on MagAO imaging taken seven years after the microlensing event. At the time of the observations, the lens should have been separated from the microlensing source by 292 mas. However, no new sources are detected with MagAO. We place an upper limit on the lens flux of H > 20.57. This measurement supports the conclusion of Gould et al. that the lens in this event should be a brown dwarf. This is the first test of a prediction based on the terrestrial microlens parallax effect and the first AO confirmation of a substellar/dark microlens.
Regulating Star Formation in Nearby Dusty Galaxies: Low Photoelectric Efficiencies in the Most Compact Systems

Published: February 2021

Star formation in galaxies is regulated by heating and cooling in the interstellar medium (ISM). In particular, the processing of molecular gas into stars will depend strongly on the ratio of gas heating to gas cooling in the neutral gas around sites of recent star formation. In this work, we combine mid-infrared (mid-IR) observations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), the dominant heating mechanism of gas in the ISM, with [C ii], [O i], and [Si ii] fine-structure emission, the strongest cooling channels in dense, neutral gas. The ratio of IR cooling line emission to PAH emission measures the photoelectric efficiency, a property of the ISM which dictates how much energy carried by ultraviolet photons gets transferred into the gas. We find that star-forming, IR-luminous galaxies in the Great Observatories All-Sky LIRG Survey with high IR surface densities have low photoelectric efficiencies. These systems also have, on average, higher ratios of radiation field strength to gas densities, and larger average dust grain size distributions. The data support a scenario in which the most compact galaxies have more young star-forming regions per unit area that exhibit less efficient gas heating. These conditions may be more common at high z, and may help explain the higher star formation rates at cosmic noon. We make predictions on how this can be investigated with the James Webb Space Telescope.
The Contribution of Electrons to the Sputter-produced O2 Exosphere on Europa

Published: February 2021

Electrons contribute a strong radiation component to the surface bombardment of Europa. However, they are not typically considered to contribute to erosion of the surface H2O-ice or produce exospheres of radiolytic O2, as laboratory studies on sputtering induced by electrons are sparse. Here we have measured the sputtering yield of H2O-ice induced by 0.5 keV electrons between 14 and 125 K, estimating the composition of the stable products ejected during irradiation. Combining these measurements with updated electron flux measurements, we estimate for the first time that the global surface production rate of O2 from electron-induced sputtering is larger than the production rate previously estimated for all of the ionic components combined. Our results emphasize the importance of electrons in producing exospheres on icy satellites and suggest that these exospheres need not be tied to environments where the surface is being bombarded with heavy ions.
On the Contribution of the X-Ray Source to the Extended Nebular He ii Emission in IZW18
Authors: Kehrig C. , Guerrero M. A. , Vílchez J. M. , Ramos-Larios G.
Published: February 2021

Nebular He ii emission implies the presence of energetic photons (E ≥ 54 eV). Despite the great deal of effort dedicated to understanding He ii ionization, its origin has remained mysterious, particularly in metal-deficient star-forming (SF) galaxies. Unfolding He ii-emitting, metal-poor starbursts at z ∼ 0 can yield insight into the powerful ionization processes occurring in the primordial universe. Here we present a new study on the effects that X-ray sources have on the He ii ionization in the extremely metal-poor galaxy IZw18 (Z ∼ 3% Z
⊙), whose X-ray emission is dominated by a single high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB). This study uses optical integral field spectroscopy, archival Hubble Space Telescope observations, and all of the X-ray data sets publicly available for IZw18. We investigate the time-variability of the IZw18 HMXB for the first time; its emission shows small variations on timescales from days to decades. The best-fit models for the HMXB X-ray spectra cannot reproduce the observed He ii ionization budget of IZw18, nor can recent photoionization models that combine the spectra of both very low metallicity massive stars and the emission from HMXB. We also find that the IZw18 HMXB and the He ii-emission peak are spatially displaced at a projected distance of ≃200 pc. These results reduce the relevance of X-ray photons as the dominant He ii ionizing mode in IZw18, which leaves uncertain what process is responsible for the bulk of its He ii ionization. This is in line with recent work discarding X-ray binaries as the main source responsible for He ii ionization in SF galaxies.

DNA barcoding and metabarcoding is increasingly used to effectively and precisely assess and monitor biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems. As these methods rely on data availability and quality of barcode reference libraries, it is important to develop and follow best practices to ensure optimal quality and traceability of the metadata associated with the reference barcodes used for identification. Sufficient metadata, as well as vouchers, corresponding to each reference barcode must be available to ensure reliable barcode library curation and, thereby, provide trustworthy baselines for downstream molecular species identification. This document (1) specifies the data and metadata required to ensure the relevance, the accessibility and traceability of DNA barcodes and (2) specifies the recommendations for DNA harvesting and for the storage of both voucher specimens/samples and barcode data.
The impact of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genetic polymorphisms in anticoagulant therapy management after cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation
Authors: Velizarova Milena , Hristova Julieta , Svinarov Dobrin , Ivanova Stefka , Jovinska Stefanija , Abedinov Philip
Published: February 2021

Extracorporeal circulation during cardiac surgery is characterized with increased risk for hypercoagulation because blood is exposed to foreign, nonendothelial cell surfaces. Thus, the usage of extracorporeal circulation is essentially not possible without anticoagulation. Open-heart surgery as well as many perioperative factors, such as acidosis, hypocalcemia, hypothermia, and hemodilution, might affect hemostasis and lead to coagulopathy and bleeding. A new insight into the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy is applied to modify the dosing regimen with respect to the genetic CYP2C9 and VKORC1allelic variants. A systematic literature search was performed for VKORC1 and CYP2C9 and their association with coumarin anticoagulant therapy and bleeding risk in postoperative period of cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation.
Quelques considérations pour éclairer la formation des psychanalystes – l’analyste vient par surcroît
Authors: Dubois Marc
Published: February 2021

Depuis son origine, la psychanalyse s’est située dans un champ très particulier puisque son action thérapeutique dépend directement de la position subjective du thérapeute. Cette considération rend problématique la systématisation d’une formation unique et exige que cette subjectivité soit reconnue. La singularité de la démarche nécessite la mise à distance tant des savoirs constitués que d’une technique qui se voudrait stéréotypée. Ce n’est qu’à ce prix que l’acte analytique conservera sa spécificité.

Periodicity and stability analysis of impulsive neural network models with generalized piecewise constant delays
Authors: Chiu Kuo-Shou
Published: February 2021

In this paper, the global exponential stability and periodicity are investigated for impulsive neural network models with Lipschitz continuous activation functions and generalized piecewise constant delay. The sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions of the model are established by applying fixed point theorem and the successive approximations method. By constructing suitable differential inequalities with generalized piecewise constant delay, some sufficient conditions for the global exponential stability of the model are obtained. The methods, which does not make use of Lyapunov functional, is simple and valid for the periodicity and stability analysis of impulsive neural network models with variable and/or deviating arguments. The results extend some previous results. Typical numerical examples with simulations are utilized to illustrate the validity and improvement in less conservatism of the theoretical results. This paper ends with a brief conclusion.

Court decisions are mandatory for the party who must execute them. Similarly, the party may seek that the administrative court “order” the public legal entity to execute court judgements within a specific timeframe. In the case of a refusal to execute a decision, the administrative court can punish the public legal entity. To be more specific, in administrative court adjudication, the Republic of France’s procedural methods used in the case of non-execution of administrative court decisions range from incentive to repressive measures. An immense contribution to effective execution of administrative court decisions has been made by two institutions: the Department for Reporting and Studies of the State Council and the Public Ombudsman.

Published: February 2021

The relevance of the research topic is due to modern global digital transformations and the transition to the digital economy and digital society. Social digitalization is caused by qualitative technological changes. All over the world, digitalization in education is closely related to a new way of life in a digital environment and the emergence of generations who were born and study in the specific environment. The study was based on a survey assessing the quality of digitalization in education, which involved 475 students and 118 teachers of the Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University (Yekateringburg). Based on the analysis of modern research on digital education, the most important components of digitalization have been identified and assessed in the survey. The survey was based on a Likert scale; the importance of each significant aspect of digitalization was assessed from 0 to 10. Unanimously, the research participants rated the level of penetration of digital technologies into Russian higher education as low: 3.15 (students) and 3.43 (teachers). The contribution of digitalization to academic performance was rated above average (7.25 and 5.21, respectively). There were some differences in the assessment of the role of the teacher in the digital environment (4.65 and 7.14), the convenience of the digital environment (7.11 and 2.53) and its positive impact on student motivation (8.09 and 3.61, respectively). The increase in the cognitive capabilities of students due to digitalization was also differently assessed by the students and teachers (6.88 and 3.11, respectively). Thus, digitalization in Russian universities generally reflects the expectation of its future development and a positive student attitude to the available opportunities. The novelty of the research is an attempt to objectively assess the internal process of digitalization and determine further research directions. In practice, the study can reform the education system, accelerate and improve the process of higher education digitalization.

Published: February 2021

The number of vehicles stolen is increasing annually. The alarm system for vehicles is commonly used to expose the burglars publicly to make a scene. If the vehicle owner is far away, it will be hard to distinguish the threat to the vehicle from the intruder. To deter such crime, there should be a safer protection mechanism for vehicles around the globe. Moreover, overcrowd parking lot problems have always been an issue. Nevertheless, it became even worse with the progressing urbanization and population expansion. Anyone may have experienced that moment of panic when you realize you have no idea where you parked your vehicle. Note that, the keyless remote control of vehicles has a short-range radio transmitter. It usually can reach up 5–20 meters. Therefore, this paper develops a proposed system that is used for detecting vehicle location using Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). It is basically capable to switch ON and OFF vehicle alarm system to detect the location of the vehicle in a crowded area. PIC microcontroller that has been embedded in the system programmed using C language. The intelligent proposed system also designs to enhance the security feature for the transportation era. The proposed system offers better service and cost-effective for the vehicle owners.

Internet Accessible Remote Laboratories: Scalable E-Learning Tools for Engineering and Science Disciplines
Authors: Azad Abul K.M. , Auer Michael E. , Harward V. Judson
Published: February 2021

Objective of the Book:
Considering the involvement of multiple disciplines (software, hardware, computer interfacing, Web development, Web security, user interface, and learning management), the development process for an Internet accessible remote laboratory is complex. In the absence of any common framework, each development initiative starts from scratch and there is difficulty in transferring and integrating technologies from one laboratory implementation to another. The proposed book is a timely effort to collect current developments in this area, as well as offer some suggestions for future direction, while providing a benchmark for the community. The editors will take every effort to gather contributions from all the major players in this field to foster wider collaboration within the community.

La lingua prima, le altre lingue. Quale politica linguistica per la scuola e l’Università?
Authors: De Santis Cristiana
Published: February 2021

Cet article offre au lecteur un compte-rendu du séminaire de recherche sur la politique linguistique et de l’éducation plurilingue qui a eu lieu à Bologne le 28 novembre 2018, avec la participation de Claude Hagège (Collège de France) et Francesco Sabatini (Accademia della Crusca). Les orateurs se sont concentrés sur la relation entre la première langue (français ou bien italien) et d'autres langues européennes, y compris une langue “envahissante” telle que l'anglais. Tout en visant à une éducation plurilingue, les deux linguistes ont dessiné une articulation différente du parcours scolaire: pour Hagège il s’agit de promouvoir le bilinguisme précoce et l'immersion linguistique, alors que Sabatini se penche sur une ouverture progressive à plusieurs variétés de la langue maternelle ainsi qu’à différentes langues étrangères. Les deux ont souligné la nécessité d'une formation continue et prolongée dans les langues vivantes étrangères, tout en affirmant l'importance de l'étude des langues classiques. Les deux orateurs ont également insisté sur l’importance de la préparation en linguistique des futurs enseignants.
La maternité dans les séries familiales françaises : entre consensus et résistances
Authors: Lécossais Sarah
Published: February 2021

Cet article étudie les représentations de la maternité dans les séries télévisées françaises en axant l’analyse sur la circulation des normes relatives à la parentalité et la manière dont les personnages les intériorisent ou au contraire tentent d’y résister. Nous mettons en lumière les configurations normatives de la maternité – avec l’exemple de la grossesse des personnages – avant de nous concentrer sur les marges de la fiction comme espaces de résistance.
Traditionalisme catholique et blogosphère militante : structure et caractéristiques d’un réseau de communication
Authors: Blanc Charlotte
Published: February 2021

L’article a pour objectif la mise en évidence de la structure des réseaux de communication des traditionalistes catholiques sur Internet. La recherche s’est construite sur la base des liens hypertextes des sites et par le truchement du thème du Mariage pour tous. Ce dernier, employé comme moyen d’accès au réseau traditionaliste a permis de mettre au jour certaines caractéristiques identitaires et idéologiques de cette mouvance religieuse et de questionner l’homogénéité du réseau. Ainsi, l’article expose la morphologie du web traditionaliste et dresse un début de typologie des blogs de la blogosphère.
« D’un dessein farouche et extravagant » : Montaigne et la philorature
Authors: Guerrier Olivier
Published: February 2021

Philorature entend désigner l’espace où s’installe Montaigne dès 1571, qui subvertit les partages modernes entre « philosophie » et « littérature », comme certains alors déjà en vigueur. Les Essais enregistrent la faillite des pensées officielles, tout en se construisant à partir de leurs linéaments. Dans un même mouvement, ils dérèglent les ordres discursifs en usage, par l’intention qui les régit et le sujet qui les habite. Ils constituent ainsi un type particulier de « parole philosophique », assumant son originalité, mais qui n’en reste pas moins révélatrice de l’esprit et de l’épistémè de la Renaissance.
Ce que les Essais de Montaigne nous apprennent sur la valeur cognitive et morale de la littérature
Authors: Ferrari Emiliano
Published: February 2021

De Martha Nussbaum à Terence Cave, la critique littéraire et la théorie philosophique contemporaines s’interrogent sur la valeur cognitive et morale de la littérature. Fondant leur enquête anthropologique et morale sur un usage cognitif et pragmatique de la littérature fictionnelle et non fictionnelle, les Essais de Montaigne nous offrent un exemple marquant des rapports étroits et féconds entre la littérature, la philosophie et la vie.
« Artialisation » : ce qu’Alain Roger doit à un hapax de Montaigne
Authors: Sève Bernard
Published: February 2021

Alain Roger s’inspire d’un hapax de Montaigne pour construire le concept d’artialisation (les choses naturelles ne nous paraissent belles que parce que nous les voyons au travers du prisme des œuvres d’art). Montaigne donne à « artialiser » un sens différent : certains poètes « artialisent » l’amour en l’idéalisant. Il faut au contraire « naturaliser » la poésie, parler sans fioritures de l’amour physique, et suivre Lucrèce plutôt que Ficin. La notion de nature reste cependant ambiguë chez Montaigne.
Pour une approche sociologique de Montaigne
Authors: Desan Philippe
Published: February 2021

À partir des concepts durkheimiens de « faits sociaux », « institutions » et « habitudes collectives », nous développons une approche sociologique de Montaigne afin d’étudier comment les contraintes collectives façonnent les choix particuliers de Montaigne. De même, le concept d’« idéologie », tel qu’il est redéfini par Althusser, nous permet de réévaluer le conformisme des Essais dans son rapport à la transgression des normes. Nous abordons enfin la question du clientélisme et des pratiques éditoriales chez Montaigne.
Montaigne : nouveaux regards des historiens
Authors: Cocula Anne-Marie
Published: February 2021

Le profond renouvellement de l’historiographie des guerres de religion en France dans la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle ainsi que la multiplication des études consacrées aux écrits du for privé permettent d’aborder différemment le rôle politique de Montaigne. De 1581 à 1585 intervient son mandat de maire de Bordeaux. Cette fonction municipale doit être reconsidérée comme un intérim de courte durée entre les fonctions de maires de Bordeaux et de lieutenants généraux du roi exercées avant lui par le maréchal de Biron et, après lui, par le maréchal de Matignon. Cette parenthèse municipale aura des prolongements imprévus dont le retentissement se lit dans l’éphéméride de Montaigne, à condition de prêter grande attention à la complexité des événements politiques et religieux et à leur chronologie.
Montaigne et ses représentations : un « gibier » pour l’historien ?
Authors: Lagrée Marie-Clarté
Published: February 2021

Cette communication analyse les usages critiques que l’historien peut faire de Montaigne. Après avoir présenté les éléments qui font des écrits montaigniens un ensemble de sources idéales, l’article se centre sur la mobilisation de ces textes par des travaux relevant de l’histoire culturelle (histoire des mentalités puis histoire des représentations). Sont exposés les écueils auxquels se trouve confronté l’historien qui s’appuie sur Montaigne ainsi que les conclusions auxquelles il peut parvenir.
From Township Tourism, Semigration, and Second-Home Tourism
Authors: Henama Unathi Sonwabile
Published: February 2021

Tourism is disproportionally important for African economies, considering that Africa receives less than 10% of the global tourism receipts. The majority of international travel occurs between the developed world, which means that the positive economic impacts of tourism are shared amongst the developed countries. Tourism has become the number one foreign exchange earner for many countries in Africa, diversifying the economy from either agriculture or mining. Tourism is developed with the intention that it will improve the quality-of-life and standard of living of the local community. The tourism industry has shown sustained growth, and it is regarded as a panacea for the plethora of challenges facing many countries. The structural challenges that face the economy in South Africa require an economic sector that can create immediate employment and catalyse the economy.
