Martin Frieß (Hrsg.), Steinhaus, Rittergut und Adelssitz: Burgen und Schlösser im Landkreis Calw. Ostfildern: Jan Thorbecke Verlag 2020, 288 S.
Authors: Heisel Joachim P.
Published: April 2022

Während mächtige Burganlagen wie die Hochkönigsburg im Elsass überregionale Bekanntheit besitzen (siehe meine Rezension zu Thomas Billers Buch hier in Mediaevistik 34), sind kleinere Adelssitze des Mittelalters allenfalls noch im lokalen Gedächtnis verankert.
Lobenswert ist daher ein Projekt des Landkreises Calw am Ostrand des Schwarzwaldes, alle mittelalterlichen und frühneuzeitlichen Adelssitze im Landkreis in einem Buch zu beschreiben.
Gerd Detemple, Weltkulturerbe. Trierer Dom: Einblicke in Deutschlands älteste Kathedrale. Regensburg: Verlag Schnell & Steiner, 2021, 192 pp., 23 ill., and 81 photos.
Authors: Dark Ken
Published: April 2022

This is a ‘coffee-table’ book on Trier cathedral, in part the oldest church building used today in Germany, dominated by superb color photographs taken by Gerd Detemple. These are produced splendidly in large – often full-page – format, and are a credit to the
photographer and publisher alike. As such, the book will appeal to several markets: scholars who are studying the art and architecture of the cathedral; students of art and architectural history; those with an amateur interest in art-history, architectural history or the city of Trier, and
those who have visited Trier and been to the building. However, the volume is probably best suited to the latter two groups, and it is a presentation of visual material rather than a scholarly work.
Kirsten Darby, Die “Lachverständigen” im Mittelalter: Untersuchung zu Darstellungen und Bewertungen des Lachens in Heiligenviten. Beihefte zum Archiv für Kulturgeschichte, 95. Wien, Köln und Weimar: Böhlau Verlag, 2021, 401 S.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

Seit einiger Zeit schon hat sich die Forschung intensiv mit dem Phänomen des Lachens, der Komik, der Ironie und Satire etc. im Mittelalter auseinandergesetzt, wie die einschlägigen Publikationen der letzten zehn Jahre und mehr gut vor Augen führen. Dem schließt
sich nun Kirsten Darby in ihrer für den Druck aufbereiteten Doktorarbeit (keine Details hier angegeben) unter Rudolf Holbach (Oldenburg) an, indem sie die reichen Quellen der Heiligenviten daraufhin untersucht, was dort über Lachen herauszufinden ist. Dies erweist sich von vornherein
als ein sehr produktiver Ansatz, weil genau diese Texte bisher noch nicht adäquat aus dieser Perspektive betrachtet worden sind. Die Autorin kann genau mittels der sorgfältigen Analyse vor Augen führen, wie selbstverständlich Lachen ein grundsätzlicher Aspekt des menschlichen
Lebens ist und dass auch die katholische Kirche im Mittelalter keineswegs blind demgegenüber gewesen war. Dies besagt aber keineswegs, dass sich jeder Hinweis auf Lachen über einen Kamm scheren ließe. Vielmehr strebt Darby danach, die Komplexität der Materie in den Griff
zu bekommen und einen ganzen Fächer von Lachmomenten zu untersuchen.
Konzepte und Funktionen der Gewalt im Mittelalter, hrsg. von Claudia Garnier. Geschichte. Forschung und Wissenschaft, 72. Münster: LIT Verlag, 2021, 196 S.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

Gewisse Themen in der wissenschaftlichen Erforschung des Mittelalters tauchen immer wieder auf, weil sie so vielschillernd und aussagekräftig sind, wozu auch das Thema der Gewalt gehört, das auf einer Tagung an der Universität Vechta (kein Datum genannt) nur von Historikern
diskutiert wurde, deren ausgearbeiteten Beiträge hier nun im Druck vorgelegt werden. Es ist altbekannt, dass im Deutschen der Begriff ‘Gewalt’ vielfältige Bedeutung besitzt, und zwar negative und positive je nach Kontext, worauf die Herausgeberin Claudia Garnier und auch
einige der Autoren differenzierend eingehen, wenngleich dabei keine wesentlich neuen Erkenntnisse zutage gefördert werden. Das Phänomen der ‘Gewalt’ ist bereits häufig unter die Lupe genommen worden, was sich z.T. in den Anmerkungen nachverfolgen lässt, aber
überwiegend stellt man doch fest, dass weder die ältere noch die jüngere Forschung, von derjenigen, die nicht auf Deutsch verfasst wurde, ganz zu schweigen, adäquat erfasst wurde.
Kathryn L. Smithies, Introducing the Medieval Ass. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2020, xv, 163 pp., 7 b/w ill.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

Even if we might not think much about the ass within the spectrum of medieval culture and nature, it was closely associated already with Jesus, being one of the animals in the shed where he was born. And later, when the savior rode into Jerusalem, he used an ass as a symbol of his humility.
Agriculture and the transportation system during antiquity and the Middle Ages, and actually far beyond, cannot be imagined without this beast, and in times of need, such as in crusades, the ass was also eaten. Not surprisingly, the ass also appears almost ubiquitously in fable literature
and in the visual arts serving as a symbolic animal. We find some references to the ass in the Lexikon des Mittelalters or in dictionaries of symbols (Hans Biedermann, Knaur Lexikon der Symbole, 1989; Christoph Wetzel, Das grosse Lexikon der Symbole, 2008), but it proves
difficult to identify any major study on this animal. However, it’s use in Christianity, in fairy tales, symbolism, and elsewhere is quite well covered in the German online article at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausesel
(last accessed on Feb. 2, 2021). But all this is now, more or less, superseded by Kathryn L. Smithies’s at first sight quite pleasant, unpretentious, but informative study. As she points out right away, the ass appeared as a rather ambiguous animal, being mocked at, despised, praised,
idealized, and ridiculed again, all depending on the context and the intention of the artist or narrator.

Rita Wood, Paradise: The World of Romanesque Sculpture. York: Theopilus Publishing, 2017, viii, 220 pp., 216 b/w and color figures.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

This magnificent study by Rita Wood (www.rwromanesque.co.uk) provides a major overview of Romanesque sculptures, especially in capitals in English and Continental churches, focusing on the presentation of Paradise in its many different
features. This is accompanied by a wealth of excellent photos, many of which allow us to close in onto those sculptures even better than with the naked eye. This does not always work, however, such as in the case of Oloron Sainte-Marie, where the photo is much too small to recognize details.
Wood offers detailed discussions and interpretations, which often prove to be a challenge, as art historians have often confirmed especially for the Romanesque era. It is clear, as she emphasizes in the introduction, that the artists drew from a relatively firm list of icons or motifs, particularly
human and animal bodies, all of which is not easy to interpret today.

Abstract: Anyone who takes on the challenging task of translating parts of the massive work by the medieval philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas deserves our recognition. Until today, the critical edition has not yet been completed, so we have to content ourselves with
older editions, which are, however, not to be despised and certainly still serve their own purpose. This also applies to Katja Krause’s translation of Aquinas’s Commentary on Peter Lombard’s Sentences IV.49.2 in which this great intellectual author explored the theory
of the beatific vision, which was actually not far away from mysticism, though Aquinas developed a fully-fledged theological reading and did not reveal any visions as such.

Abstract: Hier spricht ein pädagogischer Fachmann und Nibelungenspezialist über seine Erfahrungen mit dem Nibelungenlied, das er im Deutschunterricht auf der Gymnasialstufe behandelte. Der Autor hat sich umfangreiche Mühen gemacht, nicht nur theoretische
Gedanken über den möglichen Einsatz dieses großen Heldenepos auf der Schule anzustellen, sondern bietet ausgiebig viele Beispiele, wie dieses Unterfangen in der Praxis abgelaufen ist. Wir bekommen hier also sozusagen den detaillierten Bericht über die einzelnen Arbeitsschritte
mit diesem Text, bei denen aber nicht nur der Autor als Lehrer zu Worte kommt, sondern häufig auch die Schüler, denen hier viel Raum gewährt wird, ihre eigenen Meinungen zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Damit aber nicht genug, Bärenthaler verfolgt zugleich das Ziel, auf die jüngste
Forschung zum Nibelungenlied zurückzugreifen, um die pädagogische Arbeit auch theoretisch zu untermauern. Man kann gleich von vornherein betonen, dass sich die Lektüre dieser Untersuchung lohnt, denn das Wagnis einzugehen, an der Schule dieses Heldenepos zu unterricht,
verlangt nicht nur Mut, sondern auch besonderes Geschick im Umgang mit jüngeren Menschen.

Hubungan Gambaran X-RAY Thorax Bronkopneumonia dengan Leukositosis Pada Pasien Intensive care unit di RSUD dr. Chasbullah Abdul Madjid Kota Bekasi
Authors: Utomo Tranggono Yudo
Published: April 2022

Bronchopneumonia is the most common picture of pneumonia found, especially in the ICU. Bronchopneumonia occurs due to the interaction between infection and cellular immunity which causes peribronchial consolidation. This process can result in leukocytosis in the patient. This research is an observational analytic study with a cross sectional method which was carried out in RSUD dr. Chasbullah Abdulmajid Bekasi City, West Java with secondary data from patient medical records in the period 1 November 2021 – 19 December 2021. Samples were taken using the total sampling method from population being treated at the ICU Cattleya. The variables taken were age, gender, the diagnosis to be taken, the results of a chest X-ray, and the value of the patient. The sample used was 101 patients. The most demographic characteristics were men at 49.5%, the 18-64 year group at 68.3%, and the basic diagnosis of ICU care for cerebrovascular disease was 24.8%. Statistical test using Chi-square test found that there was no relationship between bronchopneumonia and leukocytosis (p=0.172; p>0.05). This study showed that there was no association between chest x-ray bronchopneumonia and leukocytosis in ICU patients

Published: April 2022

Our phytosociological study in Montenegro (Ćemovsko polje) deals with the syntaxonomy of arid grasslands in the Adriatic region and, in particular, different interpretations of plant communities dominated by Asphodelus ramosus. The main aims of this study were to contribute to knowledge of the composition of dry grasslands dominated by Asphodelus ramosus in Montenegro and to compare instances of Asphodelus ramosus dominated vegetation along the Adriatic. Our vegetation dataset included 82 phytosociological relevés: 17 from our recent field work and 72 relevés of South European Asphodelus ramosus communities. Ordination analysis (NMDS) was used for comparison of Asphodelus ramosus dominated communities in the Adriatic region. The Asphodelus ramosus community from Montenegro was classified into Bromo erecti-Chrysopogonetum grylli. The analysis revealed two distinct vegetation groups: grassland communities of the vegetation class Festuco-Brometea from Montenegro, Croatia and Albania, and edge vegetation of the new class Charybdido pancratii-Asphodeletea ramosi from Italy. Comparison with similar vegetation types shows high similarity with associations on the eastern Adriatic coast, where they are treated as grassland communities belonging to the alliance Chrysopogono grylli-Koelerion splendentis, order Scorzoneretalia villosae, class Festuco-Brometea.
Ethnic contact index as a tool for studying territories with a mixed national composition of the population
Authors: Terenina Natalya
Published: April 2022

Territories with a mixed ethnic composition of the population are complex phenomena. Ethnocontact zones belong to the same type of formations. In domestic science, the index of ethnic mosaic proposed by B. M. Ekkel is the main quantitative indicator used in the identification of multicomponent ethno-contact zones. The Eckel index is convenient for displaying on a map, but subsequent ethnogeographical analysis needs additional information that is difficult to map. This shortcoming can be avoided if one moves from multicomponent ethnocontact zones to a cartographic analysis of two-component ethnocontact zones. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology for the cartographic analysis of two-component ethnocontact zones, as well as to test this methodology in studying the dynamics of ethnocontact zones within the Pskov region based on the results of population censuses from 1897 to 1939. As one of the tools for studying two-component ethno-contact zones, the article proposes an “ethnic contact index”, which reflects the probability of meeting representatives of two nationalities in a particular territory. An undoubted advantage of using the ethnic contact index when studying two-component ethno-contact zones is the ability to display the ethnic component with a higher share on the map as a qualitative background. In addition, mapping the change in the ethnic contact index over a certain period may be accompanied by a display of positive or negative dynamics in the number and proportion of representatives of nationalities that make up two-component ethno-contact zones.

We briefly discuss the development of edge detection, which plays an important role in representing the salience features in a wide range of computer vision applications. Meanwhile, transformer-based deep models facilitate the usage of NLP application. We introduce two ongoing research projects for pharmaceutical industry and business negotiation. We also selected five papers in the related areas for this journal issue.
FUNCTION-ON-FUNCTION LINEAR QUANTILE REGRESSION
Authors: Beyaztas Ufuk , Shang Han Lin
Published: April 2022

In this study, we propose a function-on-function linear quantile regression model that allows for more than one functional predictor to establish a more flexible and robust approach. The proposed model is first transformed into a finitedimensional space via the functional principal component analysis paradigm in the estimation phase. It is then approximated using the estimated functional principal component functions, and the estimated parameter of the quantile regression model is constructed based on the principal component scores. In addition, we propose a Bayesian information criterion to determine the optimum number of truncation constants used in the functional principal component decomposition. Moreover, a stepwise forward procedure and the Bayesian information criterion are used to determine the significant predictors for including in the model. We employ a nonparametric bootstrap procedure to construct prediction intervals for the response functions. The finite sample performance of the proposed method is evaluated via several Monte Carlo experiments and an empirical data example, and the results produced by the proposed method are compared with the ones from existing models.

A stellar occultation occurs when a Solar System object passes in front of a star for an observer. This technique allows the sizes and shapes of the occulting body to be determined with kilometer precision. In addition, this technique constrains the occulting body’s positions, albedos, densities, and so on. In the context of the Galilean moons, these events can provide their best ground-based astrometry, with uncertainties in the order of 1 mas (∼3 km at Jupiter’s distance during opposition). We organized campaigns and successfully observed a stellar occultation by Io (JI) in 2021, one by Ganymede (JIII) in 2020, and one by Europa (JII) in 2019, with stations in North and South America. We also re-analyzed two previously published events: one by Europa in 2016 and another by Ganymede in 2017. We then fit the known 3D shape of the occulting satellite and determine its center of figure. This resulted in astrometric positions with uncertainties in the milliarcsecond level. The positions obtained from these stellar occultations can be used together with dynamical models to ensure highly accurate orbits of the Galilean moons. These orbits can help when planning future space probes aiming at the Jovian system, such as JUICE by ESA and Europa Clipper by NASA. They also allow more efficient planning of flyby maneuvers.
Zwicky Transient Facility and Globular Clusters: The RR Lyrae gri-band Period–Luminosity–Metallicity and Period–Wesenheit–Metallicity Relations

Published: April 2022

Based on time-series observations collected from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), we derived period–luminosity–metallicity (PLZ) and period–Wesenheit–metallicity (PWZ) relations for RR Lyrae located in globular clusters. We have applied various selection criteria to exclude RR Lyrae with problematic or spurious light curves. These selection criteria utilized information on the number of data points per light curve, amplitudes, colors, and residuals on the period–luminosity and/or period–Wesenheit relations. Due to blending, a number of RR Lyrae in globular clusters were found to be anomalously bright and have small amplitudes of their ZTF light curves. We used our final sample of ∼750 RR Lyrae in 46 globular clusters covering a wide metallicity range (−2.36 dex < [Fe/H] < −0.54 dex) to derive PLZ and PWZ relations in the gri bands. In addition, we have also derived the period–color–metallicity and, for the first time, the period-Q-index-metallicity relations, where the Q-index is extinction-free by construction. We have compared our various relations to empirical and theoretical relations available in the literature and found a good agreement with most studies. Finally, we applied our derived PLZ relation to a dwarf galaxy, Crater II, and found that its true distance modulus should be larger than the most recent determination.
Detection of Travel Time Anisotropy from Subsurface Horizontal Magnetic Fields
Authors: Stefan John T. , Kosovichev Alexander G.
Published: April 2022

A time–distance measurement technique is derived to isolate phase travel time anisotropy caused by subsurface horizontal magnetic fields; a method that uses the measured anisotropy to estimate the field’s orientation is also derived. A simulation of acoustic waves propagating in a uniform, inclined magnetic field with solar background structure is used to verify the derived technique. Then the procedure is applied to a numerical simulation of a sunspot for which the subsurface state is known to provide context for the results obtained from the study of several sunspots observed by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager. Significant anisotropies are detected, on the order of 1 minute, and the subsurface field’s azimuth is estimated and compared with the azimuth of the surface magnetic field. In all cases, the subsurface azimuth is found to be well aligned with that of the surface, and the results from the numerical simulation are used to interpret features in the detected travel time anisotropy.

We present the first near-IR spectroscopy and joint analyses of multiwavelength observations for SDSS J082747.14+425241.1, a dust-reddened, weak broad emission-line quasar (WLQ) undergoing a remarkable broad-absorption line (BAL) transformation. The systemic redshift is more precisely measured to be z = 2.070 ± 0.001 using Hβ compared to z = 2.040 ± 0.003 using Mg ii from the literature, signifying an extreme Mg ii blueshift of 2140 ± 530 km s−1 relative to Hβ. Using the Hβ-based single-epoch scaling relation with a systematic uncertainty of 0.3 dex, its black hole (BH) mass and Eddington ratio are estimated to be M
BH ∼ 6.1 × 108
M
⊙ and λ
Edd ∼ 0.71, indicative of being in a rapidly accreting phase. Our investigations confirm the WLQ nature and the LoBAL → HiBAL transformation, along with a factor of 2 increase in the Mg ii+Fe ii emission strength and a decrease of 0.1 in E(B − V) over two decades. The kinetic power of this LoBAL wind at R ∼ 15 pc from its BH is estimated to be ∼43% of the Eddington luminosity, sufficient for quasar feedback upon its host galaxy albeit with an order-of-magnitude uncertainty. This quasar provides a clear example of the long-sought scenario where LoBAL quasars are surrounded by dust cocoons, and wide-angle nuclear winds play a key role in the transition of red quasars evolving into the commonly seen blue quasars.
The Bulk Properties of Isolated Neutron Stars Inferred from the Gravitational Redshift Measurements
Authors: Luo Chuan-Ning , Tang Shao-Peng , Jiang Jin-Liang , Gao Wei-Hong , Wei Da-Ming
Published: April 2022

The measurements of the bulk properties of most isolated neutron stars (INSs) are challenging tasks. Tang et al. have developed a new method, based on the equation of state (EoS) of neutron star (NS) material constrained by the observational data, to infer the gravitational masses of a few INSs whose gravitational redshifts are available. However, in that work, the authors only considered the constraints on the EoS from nuclear experiments/theories and the gravitational wave data of GW170817; the possible phase transition has not been taken into account. In this work, we adopt three EoS models (including the one incorporates a first-order strong phase transition) that are constrained by the latest multimessenger NS data, including in particular the recent mass–radius measurements of two NSs by Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer, to update the estimation of the gravitational masses of RBS 1223, RX J0720.4-3125, and RX J1856.5-3754. In comparison to our previous approach, the new constraints are tighter, and the gravitational masses are larger by about 0.1M
⊙. All the inferred gravitational masses are within the range of the NS masses measured in other ways. We have also calculated the radius, tidal-deformability, and moment of inertia of these sources. The inclusion of the first-order strong phase transition has little influence on modifying the results.
A Late Acceptance Hyper-Heuristic Approach for the Optimization Problem of Distributing Pilgrims over Mina Tents
Authors: Shambour Mohd Khaled Y. , Khan Esam A.
Published: April 2022

About three million Muslims are traveling annually to Makkah in Saudi Arabia to perform the rituals of Hajj (i.e. the pilgrimage), the fifth pillar of Islam. It requires the pilgrims to move to several holy sites while performing the Hajj ritual, including Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah sites. However, pilgrims spend most of their time in prepared tent-camps at the Mina site during the days of Hajj. Among the challenges that the organizers face in the Hajj is the distribution of pilgrims over the camps of Mina while considering a range of constraints, which is considered a real-world optimization problem. This paper introduces a hyper-heuristic approach to optimize the distribution process of pilgrims over Mina tent-camps in an efficient manner, named the hyper-heuristic Mina tents distribution algorithm (HyMTDA). The proposed algorithm, iteratively, selects one heuristic among four predefined low-level heuristics to produce a new solution; thereafter the late move acceptance strategy is applied as a judgment to accept or reject the new solution. The performed simulations show that the proposed HyMTDA can effectively explore the search space and avoid falling into local minima during the iterations process. Moreover, comparisons show that HyMTDA outperforms other heuristic algorithms in the literature in terms of solution quality and convergence rate.
L’écoféminisme en paroles et en actes
Authors: Larrère Catherine
Published: April 2022

Le terme d’écoféminisme, inventé en France en 1974 par Françoise d’Eaubonne et réapparu aux États-Unis à la fin des années 1970, désigne une grande diversité de luttes de femmes autour d’objectifs écologiques, mouvements que l’on retrouve un peu partout à travers le monde et que la lutte climatique a mondialisés. Que les femmes et la nature soient l’objet d’une domination croisée, telle est la découverte propre de l’écoféminisme, et c’est à dégager la logique de cette domination, mais aussi son histoire et son cadre culturel, social et économique, que se sont employées les écoféministes, académiques aussi bien que militantes. Les luttes écoféministes sont des luttes de libération. Retourner l’association négative entre les femmes et la nature conduit à en faire un objet de revendication et de lutte politique qui concerne potentiellement tout le monde.

Le géomimétisme – le biomimétisme au service du climat – propose ainsi des pistes pour décarboner les procédés industriels (passer d’une industrie thermique à une industrie organique) et renforcer les puits naturels de carbone. Les symbioses entre les êtres vivants sont une clé pour le biomimétisme, que ce soit pour la synthèse de matériaux ou bien pour le cycle de transformation du CO 2 atmosphérique en forme stable et inerte de carbone. Dès lors, il s’agit d’étudier en profondeur ces symbioses et de les mettre à « notre service », dans le but de remplacer les hydrocarbures ou de prévenir de la tentation pour la géoingénierie. Ce qui passe par une véritable politique publique climatique.
Clinique des réformes et réformes de la clinique
Authors: Berton Jacques
Published: April 2022

Quelle place pour la Clinique dans la succession des réformes qui impactent la formation des travailleurs sociaux ? Cette notion qui tend à disparaître du paysage de la formation a-t-elle toujours « voix au chapitre » ? C’est à travers les notions d’observation, de réflexivité, d’alternance et de groupe de formation que nous essayons de répondre à ces questions avec le souci d’une vigilance renforcée face au mouvement de normalisation en cours, sans pour cela avoir le sentiment de participer d’une idéologie appartenant au passé qu’il serait opportun d’abandonner.
Retour d’une ASS sur son expérience vécue de la formation, et ses douze années d’exercice professionnel
Authors: Trioulaire Lucie , Mechkar Mohammed
Published: April 2022

Cet entretien, réalisé par Mohammed Mechkar, propose un récit d’expérience et une réflexion sur les enjeux, les processus et les dispositifs des formations en travail social après la réforme 2004/2007. Il souligne l’importance de l’alternance intégrative qui articule les expériences de stage et les activités pédagogiques en centre de formation. Le retour sur l’expérience vécue de la formation est mis en tension avec les transformations du métier. Les exigences de faire renouveler les pratiques professionnelles s’inscrivent dans un appel ultime à l’intelligence collective.
Diversification, intégration et synergies
Authors: Rouane Sihem , Azzam Jamal Eddine , Pezé Stéphan
Published: April 2022

Cette recherche contribue au champ du management stratégique en proposant une vision intégrée et dynamique des choix en matière de formulation et de déploiement stratégique. En analysant le cas d’Hermès, elle introduit la notion de croissance stratégique perpendiculaire combinant intégration verticale et horizontale et une lecture dynamique des modalités de déploiement où une modalité (organique, relationnelle ou externe) est utilisée comme point de départ et de passage vers une autre. En procédant ainsi, la recherche se propose de dépasser la vision dichotomique entre, d’une part, intégration horizontale et intégration verticale et, d’autre part, croissance organique, relationnelle et externe.
Comment une entreprise peut activer sa communauté
Authors: Lejealle Catherine
Published: April 2022

Les communautés virtuelles de marque en ligne sont une opportunité pour augmenter la fidélité, l’intention d’achat, la satisfaction mais aussi innover avec les consommateurs. Trois modalités de participation sont possibles (consommer, contribuer ou créer) correspondant à six motivations : divertissement, intégration sociale, identité personnelle, information, rémunération et empowerment. Animer une communauté suppose de comprendre les motivations pour mixer les bénéfices offerts sur le long terme et répondre au défi relationnel que pose le fonctionnement hiérarchique de la marque face aux interactions transverses de la communauté. Le cas retenu est Braineet, une entreprise qui aide ses clients à innover en soumettant leurs problématiques à sa communauté. Mais il faut l’activer en concevant le mix des motivations pertinentes puis penser les modalités d’actions pour favoriser l’innovation sans paraître intrusif. L’analyse du défi relationnel montre que Braineet aide ainsi ses clients à le résoudre.
Perdre ses désillusions
Authors: Servant Benoît
Published: April 2022

L’auteur expose une configuration clinique particulière, constituée, chez des patients hommes et femmes, par une vision pessimiste et opératoire des relations affectives, sous-tendue par la prégnance d’imagos cruelles et autoritaires. Celles-ci semblent provenir d’une défaillance parentale marquée par une incapacité à assumer ses responsabilités et à respecter les interdits. L’auteur s’appuie alors sur les travaux de J.-L. Donnet, N. Zilkha et P. Denis sur le surmoi pour en proposer une interprétation d’où pourraient se dégager des directions pour la cure. Celles-ci mettraient en particulier en question la place possible de l’humour, mais surtout, pour l’auteur, d’un travail en « côte à côte » qui vise à dégager le sujet des enjeux de toute-puissance, et favoriser une « perte des désillusions ». Un lien est proposé avec l’œuvre de Philip Roth.
Renoncer à l’imago
Authors: Laurent Véronique
Published: April 2022

L’auteur part de l’observation clinique d’un lien entre fonctionnement en imago et surinvestissement de la peau. Après être revenu sur les origines du terme imago, il s’interroge sur les conditions de l’écart moi-surmoi par lequel le fonctionnement en instances prendra le pas sur le fonctionnement en imago. Freud conçoit le surmoi post-œdipien comme secondaire à l’impersonnalisation des imagines parentales premières. Le moi doit corrélativement travailler à sa résistance vis-à-vis de l’attractivité imagoïque. La relation d’objet allergique, en maintenant une confusion avec l’autre, s’oppose à l’opération de perte comme condition d’indépendance vis-à-vis de l’objet. L’absence d’angoisse de l’étranger en est un des signes sémiologiques précoces. La cure d’une patiente met en évidence un fantasme de peau commune maintenant la dyade primaire mère-enfant. Le dégagement de l’imago aura pour condition de re-fonder le moi, comme d’abord corporel. La désexualisation non symboligène nécessite le passage par une re-sexualisation pour tendre vers une désexualisation, cette fois symboligène.
Sur les traces de l’associativité
Authors: Baruch Clarisse
Published: April 2022

La question de l’associativité, si fondamentale dans la cure-type, se pose différemment avec des patients fonctionnant sur un mode psychotique. On se confronte alors à des achoppements de l’associativité, qui renvoient à des failles de symbolisation, des clivages, des ruptures de la pensée. Pourtant, l’analyste travaille là comme ailleurs avec ses propres associations, et piste l’associativité qui parfois advient dans le discours du patient, témoignant de capacités élaboratives sur lesquelles il pourra s’appuyer.
« Love at first sight. » Et après ?
Authors: Papageorgiou Marina
Published: April 2022

L’auteur interroge la qualité de l’associativité du couple analytique dans la clinique psychosomatique. À partir d’un premier entretien, elle montre les irrégularités du fonctionnement mental du patient en fonction des modifications économiques et les aménagements nécessaires quant à l’écoute et les interventions de l’analyste.
« L’inconnu, demain » : la Francophonie pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale
Authors: Mende Silke
Published: April 2022

Bien que le terme de « Francophonie » soit souvent associé à la politique linguistique de la France à partir des années 1960, elle ne représente aucunement une nouveauté de l’histoire du temps présent. Après avoir résumé très brièvement la genèse de la Francophonie comme projet politique républicain dès le début de la III e  République, l’article traite de la Francophonie pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il s’interroge sur le destin des acteurs et institutions francophones en guerre et en exil, et analyse la rivalité des « deux France » dans le domaine de la politique culturelle et linguistique, notamment dans le contexte de l’empire colonial français. Au prisme de ces discussions se laissent entrevoir les luttes pour un nouvel ordre international d’après-guerre dans laquelle la Francophonie ainsi que la France devront chercher leur place.
Imagination, jugements et émotions
Authors: Le Jallé Éléonore
Published: April 2022

Dans  Upheavals of Thought , Martha Nussbaum considère « notre manière concrète d’imaginer » l’objet d’une émotion, par exemple la personne que je chéris, ou pour laquelle j’éprouve de la compassion, comme un élément « cognitif » additionnel au sein des émotions, elles-mêmes définies en termes de jugements. Dans  Love’s Knowledge , elle montre que l’imagination, qu’elle réfère à la  phantasia  aristotélicienne, et les émotions, sont essentielles au jugement pratique et à la délibération morale. Tout en présentant la manière dont elle articule ainsi imagination, jugements et émotions, je défends l’idée qu’une autre prise en compte du rôle de l’imagination en lien avec les émotions peut permettre d’étayer une conception « non cognitive » des émotions, que l’on peut rapporter à Hume.
Un système alimentaire à transformer

Published: April 2022

Face à l’agroécologie transformatrice qui induit des changements sociaux et politiques structurels, l’« agroécologie bidon », portée par de grands groupes privés de l’agrobusiness et des organisations intergouvernementales, repeint en vert, moyennant quelques adaptations technologico-écologiques visant des hausses de productivité et l’atténuation des dégâts de l’agro-industrie, un même modèle inique et destructeur qui tend à se perpétuer.
Stability analysis of the boundary value problem modelling a two-layer ocean
Authors: Marynets Kateryna
Published: April 2022

We study boundedness of solutions to a linear boundary value problem (BVP) modelling a two-layer ocean with a uniform eddy viscosity in the lower layer and variable eddy viscosity in the upper layer. We analyse bounds of solutions to the given problem on the examples of different eddy viscosity profiles in the case of their parameter dependence.
Theorizing the concept of multiculturalism through taylor’s ‘politics of recognition’
Authors: Lukšič Hacin Marina
Published: April 2022

Contemporary debates on multiculturalism, regardless of whether we speak of proponents or sharp critics, were greatly influenced by Charles Taylor’s essay Multiculturalism and ‘The Politics of Recognition’ (1992). It highlighted the need for the right of recognition and identity, built on the assumption of universal dignity. This paper tries to answer the question – in connection with Taylor’s essay – of the sources of the reasons for today’s problems with the concept of multiculturalism, and to provide suggestions for alternative paths out of the present paradoxical circumstances.
Phrase and Sentence Structure
Authors: Williams Howard A.
Published: April 2022

This chapter surveys the basics of the syntax of main clauses, with special attention to English. Readers are guided through the process of doing syntactic analysis with the aid of syntactic trees that model the properties of linearity, hierarchy, and recursion that characterize the syntax of human languages. The model used is a somewhat simplified version of X-bar syntax, which is currently the best-known and best-tested model of phrase structure within the subfield of syntax and which combines the virtues of simplicity, breadth, and predictive power. There is a section on the theory of grammatical relations and its relationship to phrase structure theory, as well as a section providing an overview of basic world constituent orders.
The Role of Context on Age of Acquisition Effect
Authors: Raman Ilhan
Published: April 2022

Processes involved in converting print to sound are reported to be flexible and under the strategic control of skilled readers even in transparent orthographies. In this respect, word frequency effect, regularity, and lexicality have been the topic of much research and debate in understanding how context is involved in the emergence of strategies. However, whether age of acquisition (AoA) effects are influenced by context and under the strategic control of readers have yet to be established. A series of single-word naming experiments addresses this issue and examines the role of filler type critically manipulated on lexicality, frequency, and imageability on the size of AoA effect in word naming in an entirely transparent orthography. Overall, results, which are discussed within the current theoretical frameworks, suggest that context plays a significant role on AoA.
Identity and Alterity of the Text in Translation
Authors: Petrilli Susan , Ponzio Augusto
Published: April 2022

The translated text is identical to the original text and at once altogether different from it, whether they are dealing with a verbal or nonverbal text. With respect to the globality of semiosis, the authors main focus in this essay is on interlingual translation, the relation among verbal texts translated, interpreted, transferred, transvaluated, transaccentuated, transintonated, transposed and readapted into the sign systems of other verbal languages. In the processes of interlingual translation, a central concern is the nature of the relation between the original text and the translated text and the reverse. Moreover, given that they are dealing with questions concerning the exchange among values and not simply meanings, the authors' perspective is more appropriately described as pertaining to semioethics.
Gender and Language
Authors: Koban Koç Didem
Published: April 2022

The present study investigated gender differences in the use of linguistic features as well as the social meanings attached to those differences. Academic essays, written by 44 (22 male, 22 female) first-year undergraduate students enrolled in the English Language Teaching program at a government university were analyzed with respect to the use of linguistic features (adjectives, empty adjectives, intensifiers, linking adverbials) as well as the number of words and sentences used by the students. The results showed that, in comparison to males, females used more adjectives, intensifiers, and words. Males, on the other hand, used more empty adjectives and linking adverbials than females. Based on the results, pedagogical implications are discussed, and recommendations are provided in order to increase teachers' awareness of gender differences and improve students' writing skills.
