Comparison of Testosterone and Prostate-Specific Antigen Nadir Value between Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer and Non-Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients after Androgen Deprivation Therapy - A Single Center Study in Indonesia
Authors: Safriadi Ferry , Pramod Sawkar Vijay , Partogu Bernard , Wijayanti Zola
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is the second most commonly occurring cancer in adult males worldwide. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the mainstay treatment for patients with advanced prostate cancer. However, despite the low testosterone level (indicative of ADT success), most advanced prostate cancers progress into an androgen unresponsive or castrate resistant state; such cases are defined as castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and were associated with worse outcomes and more rapid prostate cancer progression. This study aimed to compare the value of nadir testosterone level and nadir PSA in CRPC and non-CRPC patients who received ADT.

AIM: This study was aimed to compare value of nadir testosterone level and nadir PSA in CRPC and non-CRPC patients who received ADT.

METHODS: Prostate cancer patients receiving ADT in dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung General Hospital in September 2018–September 2020 without previous history of CRPC and surgical castration, and prostate cancer with histopathological confirmation were included to the study. The patients prior had received complete blockade ADT with luteinizing hormone agonist (LHRH) goserelin acetate 10.8 mg injected subcutaneously per 3 months and oral anti-androgen bicalutamide 50 mg orally daily. Testosterone and PSA levels were assessed on 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th month. Patients then were grouped into CRPC group and non-CRPC group and further subdivided according testosterone levels (<20 and 20–500 ng/dL). Paired t-test and Chi-square test were used to analyze statistical difference (p < 0.05 deemed significant).

RESULTS: Significantly higher baseline PSA (p = 0.002) and nadir PSA (p = 0.013) were found on the CRPC group. Nadir testosterone in CRPC group was higher than non-CRPC group but statistically insignificant (p = 0.849). Time to CRPC is faster in nadir testosterone 20–50 ng/dl group than in <20 ng/dl group but statistically insignificant (p = 0.837).

CONCLUSION: Prostate cancer patients who had high baseline PSA and nadir PSA after ADT need a longer follow-up time and more frequent testing of the testosterone and PSA values. It can predict the incidence of CRPC and to ensure that prostate cancer patients receive adequate therapy.
Molecular, chromosomal, and morphological evidence reveals a new allotetraploid fern species of Asplenium (Aspleniaceae) from southern Jiangxi, China
Authors: Lin Chen-Xue , Xu Guo-Liang , Jin Zhi-Fang , Liao Wen-Bo , Xu Ke-Wang
Published: June 2022

Asplenium jiulianshanense, a new tetraploid fern species of the A. normale complex (Aspleniaceae) from Jiulianshan National Nature Reserve, southern Jiangxi, China is described and illustrated. We inferred the phylogenetic position of the new species based on sequences from seven plastid markers (atpB, rbcL, rps4, rps4-trnS, trnL, trnL-F, and trnG) and one low-copy nuclear gene, pgiC. The plastid phylogeny supported a close relationship among the new species A. jiulianshanense, A. minutifolium, and A. kiangsuense, while the nuclear phylogeny differed in topology from the plastid tree. The new species may be due to hybridization between A. kiangsuense and A. boreale. Morphologically, the new species can easily be distinguished from other members of the A. normale complex by rachises bearing a gemma near the apex, pinna margins entire to sparsely crenate, and (1‒)3‒4(‒6) sori per pinna.

High quality focus stacking images are provided, with X–ray micro–CT scanned digital 3D representations, of major and minor worker type specimens.
Les enchanteurs : un archétype politique
Authors: Landi Sandro
Published: June 2022

En partant de l’image de la servitude volontaire comme un enchantement collectif qui apparaît au début du Discours de la servitude volontaire d’Étienne de La Boétie, cet article explore la transformation que subit la notion d’enchanteur au début du XVI e siècle. Les différents contextes que cette image permet d’identifier, indiquent que le Discours s’inscrit, de manière originale, dans la longue tradition médicale sur le pouvoir des enchantements. Cette reconstruction accorde un rôle central à la figure du chef thaumaturge, dont les caractéristiques sont définies par Machiavel et Pomponazzi. L’article se termine par une comparaison entre le paradigme thaumaturgique et le paradigme charismatique et s’ouvre sur une archéologie du populisme.
Soy cubano, soy popular : professional and personal trajectories of Cuban dancers in transnational perspective
Authors: Ana Ruxandra
Published: June 2022

Cet article explore la danse comme une ressource culturelle qui entraîne des mobilités et permet aux Cubains impliqués dans la scène salsa de poursuivre des objectifs personnels et professionnels. Il examine comment ces mobilités contribuent à remodeler les attitudes à l’égard du travail, de la danse, et de la danse comme travail sur l’île, alors que les pratiques corporelles s’inscrivent dans des imaginaires largement circulatoires. Les espoirs de carrières internationales (réussies) dans la danse émergent à l’intersection de différents types de mobilités, les danseurs cubains adoptant des rôles multiples lors de leurs rencontres avec les touristes de la danse. Par conséquent, leurs possibilités d’adaptation deviennent des ressources supplémentaires de professionnalisation à Cuba ou à l’étranger, reconfigurant ce faisant les scènes locales de la salsa.
Les sciences participatives au service du patrimoine côtier menacé par les changements globaux dans les îles françaises de la Caraïbe : la démarche du projet ALOA
Authors: Motte Edwige , Daire Marie-Yvane , Ariza Pareja Manuel Alejandro , López-Romero Elías , Bonnissent Dominique , Stouvenot Christian
Published: June 2022

La montée du niveau marin et la multiplication des épisodes extrêmes (fortes tempêtes, cyclones) induits par le changement climatique global, conjugués à une pression anthropique accrue sur les rivages, sont autant de phénomènes qui affectent de façon grandissante les zones côtières. Sur le littoral caribéen, des centaines de sites archéologiques sont aujourd’hui menacés par une destruction plus ou moins rapide. Dans ce contexte, le projet « Archéologie Littorale Outre-Atlantique » (ALOA), pour l’heure initié en Guadeloupe, contribue à renforcer l’action des services de l’État dans les domaines de la connaissance et de la préservation du patrimoine archéologique côtier des Petites Antilles. Le projet ALOA vise ainsi à développer diverses actions de sciences participatives par l’activation d’un réseau d’observateurs utilisant un outil interactif en ligne spécifiquement créé à cet effet. Il permet de signaler les sites archéologiques littoraux nouvellement exposés. Le dispositif ALOA propose alors des préconisations à l’attention des services de l’État et des gestionnaires du territoire, concernant l’intérêt scientifique des sites menacés, leur degré de vulnérabilité, et les mesures de prévention ou d’intervention prioritaires pouvant être envisagées.
« L’être humain devient être humain parce que Dieu est devenu homme »
Authors: Lehmkühler Karsten
Published: June 2022

Toutes les affirmations majeures de l’ Éthique de Bonhoeffer se fondent sur l’affirmation de la réconciliation du monde avec Dieu, en Christ, et sur la perspective de la « formation » du croyant par le Christ. La célèbre description de la « vie responsable » avance des arguments christologiques pour prôner une éthique de situation. Mais on constatera une tension entre cette éthique situationnelle et deux autres notions clés, celle du « naturel » et celle des « mandats », les deux étant également explicitées dans la perspective christologique. Cette tension renvoie à l’idée de l’ incognito du Christ : sa présence formatrice est objet de foi, indémontrable, tandis que le chrétien se risque à la décision éthique en vertu de sa raison et de son expérience, etsi Deus non daretur .
A Psychometric Analysis of the Health Literate Health Care Organization-10 Item Questionnaire
Authors: Singer Diana , Howe Carol , Adame Tracine , Lewis Brennan , Wagner Teresa , Walker Danielle
Published: June 2022

The concept of a Health Literate Healthcare Organization (HLHO) is a relatively new approach to health literacy that moves the focus from the individual patient to the overarching health care system. The HLHO-10 questionnaire was developed internationally to assess the 10 Attributes of HLHOs as described by participants of the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Health Literacy. The purpose of this study was to establish reliability and validity of the HLHO-10 among a sample of United States hospitals. Reliability and validity were established through assessing the factor structure for the HLHO-10 and psychometric evaluation. The HLHO-10 was found to be reliable with a Cronbach's alpha of .855 and a two-factor structure was revealed through exploratory factor analysis. Additional research is needed to further validate use of the HLHO-10 in the U.S., but initial findings of this emerging tool are promising and timely as the issue of health literacy comes to the forefront of U.S. health care systems and associated regulatory agencies.

Development of an Instrument to Measure Dietary Supplement Health Literacy
Authors: Hoseini Ava Sadat , Dehdari Tahereh , Solhi Mahnaz , Janani Leila , Rahideh Seyedeh Tayebeh
Published: June 2022

Background:

Health literacy is one of the important social determinants of health.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to measure Dietary Supplement Health Literacy (DSHL) of Iranian women.

Methods:

In this psychometrics study, an initial nine-factor instrument was developed. Face validity and content validity of the instrument were evaluated. The factor structure of the instrument was explored by the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) among 400 women taking Dietary supplement. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was done to determine the underlying factor structure of the instrument in this population. The internal and external reliability of the instrument was evaluated.

Key Results:

According to expert panel opinions, 16 items were deleted. The results of the EFA showed that the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett's test of sphericity were significant. EFA showed that 30 items could be grouped into nine factors that accounted for 60.84% of the variance. Since two items in the ability to actively engage with health care providers factor were loaded in factor 1, this factor was labeled
Engaging in receiving informational supports from health care providers.
In addition, one item of the dimension was loaded in factor 3. Given that the one item of factor 5 and 1 item of factor 6 were loaded in a new factor 9, this factor was labeled
Applying information to decision-making.
The CFA indicated that the nine-factor structure of the DSHL instrument had a poor fit. To modify indices, factor 9 with 2 items and 1 item of factor 6 were deleted. The Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient of the instrument were acceptable. Finally, a 27-item instrument with 8 dimensions was confirmed.

Conclusions:

The results of the study showed that the instrument developed was a valid tool for identifying the DSHL of Iranian women. [

Plain Language Summary:

This study sought to develop and validate a multidimensional instrument to measure the health literacy of Iranian women about dietary supplements that was performed from July 2019 to May 2020 in Iran. Findings showed that the 30-item instrument developed in this study is a valid instrument to be used for identifying the health literacy of Iranian women about dietary supplements.
Global existence and blow-up for the focusing inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inverse-square potential

Published: June 2022

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the focusing inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inverse-square potential

   \begin{document}$ iu_{t} +\Delta u-c|x|^{-2}u+|x|^{-b} |u|^{\sigma } u=0,\; u(0)=u_{0} \in H_{c}^{1},\;(t, x)\in \mathbb R\times\mathbb R^{d}, $\end{document}

where \begin{document}$ d\ge3 $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ 0<b<2 $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ \frac{4-2b}{d}<\sigma<\frac{4-2b}{d-2} $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ c>-c(d):=-\left(\frac{d-2}{2}\right)^{2} $\end{document}. We first establish the criteria for global existence and blow-up of general (not necessarily radial or finite variance) solutions to the equation. Using these criteria, we study the global existence and blow-up of solutions to the equation with general data lying below, at, and above the ground state threshold. Our results extend the global existence and blow-up results of Campos-Guzmán (Z. Angew. Math. Phys., 2021) and Dinh-Keraani (SIAM J. Math. Anal., 2021).
Modeling epidemic flow with fluid dynamics
Authors: Cheng Ziqiang , Wang Jin
Published: June 2022

In this paper, a new mathematical model based on partial differential equations is proposed to study the spatial spread of infectious diseases. The model incorporates fluid dynamics theory and represents the epidemic spread as a fluid motion generated through the interaction between the susceptible and infected hosts. At the macroscopic level, the spread of the infection is modeled as an inviscid flow described by the Euler equation. Nontrivial numerical methods from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are applied to investigate the model. In particular, a fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme is employed for the spatial discretization. As an application, this mathematical and computational framework is used in a simulation study for the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China. The simulation results match the reported data for the cumulative cases with high accuracy and generate new insight into the complex spatial dynamics of COVID-19.
Modelling the dynamics of Trypanosoma rangeli and triatomine bug with logistic growth of vector and systemic transmission
Authors: Chen Lin , Wu Xiaotian , Xu Yancong , Rong Libin
Published: June 2022

In this paper, an insect-parasite-host model with logistic growth of triatomine bugs is formulated to study the transmission between hosts and vectors of the Chagas disease by using dynamical system approach. We derive the basic reproduction numbers for triatomine bugs and Trypanosoma rangeli as two thresholds. The local and global stability of the vector-free equilibrium, parasite-free equilibrium and parasite-positive equilibrium is investigated through the derived two thresholds. Forward bifurcation, saddle-node bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation are proved analytically and illustrated numerically. We show that the model can lose the stability of the vector-free equilibrium and exhibit a supercritical Hopf bifurcation, indicating the occurrence of a stable limit cycle. We also find it unlikely to have backward bifurcation and Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation of the parasite-positive equilibrium. However, the sustained oscillations of infected vector population suggest that Trypanosoma rangeli will persist in all the populations, posing a significant challenge for the prevention and control of Chagas disease.
Autocitas de revistas incluidas en una misma categoría temática del Clarivate Journal Citation Reports (JCR): el caso de la revista Adicciones
Authors: González-Sala Francisco , Silivestru Yana , Osca-Lluch Julia , Martí-Vilar Manuel
Published: June 2022

El objetivo del presente estudio es determinar si el criterio impuesto por Clarivate Analytics de penalizar las revistas que tengan un elevado número de autocitas debería aplicarse a todas las revistas por igual, sin considerar indicadores bibliométricos diferenciales entre revistas. Se analizaron las características editoriales de la revista Adicciones, la cual fue excluida del JCR del 2019 por un exceso de autocitas, frente a las revistas de su misma categoría, y diferentes indicadores bibliométricos de la revista Adicciones. Los resultados indican características editoriales diferentes entre las publicaciones incluidas en la categoría Substance Abuse del JCR según país de edición, número de categorías temáticas, idioma de publicación, números editados al año y editorial. Se observa que en la revista Adicciones existe una presencia muy mayoritaria de un único país (autores españoles) tanto en los artículos publicados como en los citados. Se puede concluir que el criterio seguido por Clarivate Analytics con respecto a las autocitas de revista requiere de una revisión atendiendo a las características concretas de cada publicación científica.
Les habsbourg, les Valois et l’enjeu de la guerre
Authors: Duc Séverin , Rizzo Mario
Published: June 2022

Au cours de la première moitié du XVIe siècle, tandis que les équilibres géopolitiques changeaient profondément et un nouveau système de relations internationales prenait forme, le duché de Milan fut longuement l’objet d’une compétition entre les Habsbourg et les Valois, en lutte, plus largement, pour l’hégémonie dans la péninsule italienne, en Europe et en Méditerranée. À la lumière d’un tel contexte historique, l’article propose d’engager une analyse comparée des stratégies mises en pratique par les deux grandes puissances en Italie du Nord. Loin de vouloir tirer des conclusions prématurées, les auteurs suggèrent que les élites de pouvoir hispano-impériales, sans être exemptes d’approximations et d’inefficience, surent susciter un certain consensus dans la société lombarde, a contrario des élites envoyées par le roi de France. Les premières furent aptes à mobiliser, extraire et gérer des ressources de différente nature, de façon relativement plus efficaces que la monarchie française, dont le positionnement ne fut pas toujours à la hauteur des enjeux politiques, diplomatiques, militaires et financiers.
Machiavel, Guicciardini et François Ier
Authors: Fournel Jean-Louis
Published: June 2022

L’intervention n’aura pas de visée monographique et, plus que de s’intéresser à la cohérence de la pensée machiavélienne ou guichardinienne, elle tentera d’examiner si l’on peut déceler dans leurs écrits l’illustration d’un traitement « florentin » de la question posée, en mettant l’accent sur la confusion juridico-politique induite dans la politique de Florence par l’accès au pontificat de deux papes Médicis, Léon X et Clément VII. Ce sera l’occasion d’expliquer les raisons pour lesquelles les deux républicains florentins laissent au souverain français une place qui n’est pas dénuée d’ambiguïté dans leurs fragments d’histoires contemporaine des guerres d’Italie et dans leurs réflexions politiques en faisant la part des deux types de sources à notre disposition (immédiates – correspondances et textes d’occasion – et postérieures – écriture de l’histoire et réflexion politique a poster-iori).
François Ier et Venise
Authors: Alazard Florence
Published: June 2022

Au moment où François Ier monte sur le trône, le souvenir de la ligue de Cambrai, vaste coalition européenne montée par la France contre Venise, est effacé et, depuis mars 1513, la République et le Royaume sont de nouveau alliés, car les deux États ont bien compris que la préservation de leurs territoires oblige à traiter avec les anciens ennemis. Les minutes des délibérations du Sénat montrent qu’avant même la mort de Louis XII, les Vénitiens faisaient pression pour que le roi de France s’engage de nouveau en Lombardie. De son côté, François Ier ne néglige pas Venise, où il fait séjourner, comme ambassadeurs, les plus grands humanistes de son temps. Cet article interroge le caractère singulier des relations franco-vénitiennes sous François Ier, depuis la victoire de 1515, jusqu’à la conjuration de 1542 qui menaça l’existence même de Venise et dans laquelle l’ambassadeur de France se trouvait impliqué, en passant par l’élection à l’Empire et les méandres de guerres qui obligeaient le Royaume de France comme la république de Venise à repenser les relations entre les États.
Le schiere degli inchiostri
Authors: Procaccioli Paolo
Published: June 2022

Il contributo riflette sul rapporto che Aretino intrattenne con il re e con la corte francese dalla metà degli anni Venti. Ne ripercorre stagioni e dialettiche, dagli entusiasmi iniziali per lo scrittore al progressivo raffreddamento, emblematizzato dall’ambiguo dono della catena d’oro del 1534, alle promesse mai mantenute di una pensione francese che avrebbe dovuto affiancarsi a quella concessa nel 1536 da Carlo V. Più in generale, si interroga sulle ragioni dell’interesse dei politici per uno scrittore che anche dopo la fuga da Roma continuava a incarnare la voce di Pasquino e manteneva una sua visibilità ben oltre i confini nazionali. Fatto che conferiva alla sua parola, in particolare a quella consegnata alle Lettere, un peso crescente in un momento in cui il dibattito sulla politica religiosa e quella orientale concedeva spazi sempre più ampi alla propaganda.
François Ier et les révoltes siciliennes
Authors: Carlos d’Amico Juan
Published: June 2022

Quelle fut l’attitude de François Ier face aux révoltes ou tentatives de révolte qui se produisirent dans les différents États de la péninsule italienne durant les années de son règne ? Les exemples de Gênes, de Florence, de Sienne et de Naples nous montrent que le roi de France poursuivait une stratégie géopolitique bien précise visant à nuire les intérêts de son éternel rival, Charles Quint. Pour cela, il n’hésitait pas à engager des fonds, à mettre à disposition des forces militaires ou à impliquer directement des diplomates, des agents et des espions pour favoriser les plans subversifs de ses alliés potentiels. Dans cet article nous revenons sur les révoltes qui eurent lieu en Sicile après la mort de Ferdinand le Catholique et sur une conjuration pro-française tramée à Rome contre le pouvoir mis en place en Sicile par son successeur. Dans ce travail, notre but est d’enquêter sur le rôle réellement joué par le roi de France dans ces tentatives insurrectionnelles.
François Ier et Paul III
Authors: Tallon Alain
Published: June 2022

Le pontificat de Paul III représente un tournant politique et religieux entre la papauté de la Renaissance et celle de la Réforme catholique. La perception française de ce tournant se fait difficilement sous le règne de François Ier, en partie en raison d’un décalage entre la vision politique du souverain français et celle du pape Farnèse, qui d’ailleurs évolue au cours de ce long pontificat, de la neutralité proclamée des années 1530 à l’hostilité de plus en plus prononcée à l’égard de l’empereur dans les années 1540. Mais même la France ne profite pas réellement de cette évolution, pour des raisons structurelles comme conjoncturelles : la faiblesse de la représentation française à Rome, l’absence de véritable politique religieuse, le souci de préserver les exorbitants privilèges concordataires sont autant d’éléments qui permettent de mieux comprendre les relations entre la France et le Saint-Siège pendant la seconde partie du règne.
François Ier et l’opposition aux guerres d’Italie
Authors: Dumont Jonathan
Published: June 2022

Cette contribution s’intéresse à un ensemble de pièces de circonstance (Paris, BnF, ms. fr. 17527) écrit au début de la décennie 1520 et s’attaquant aux campagnes italiennes menées par François Ier. Les auteurs appartenant ou proches du milieu de la Basoche rendent compte d’un sentiment d’exaspération à l’égard des Guerres d’Italie. Ils s’attaquent non seulement à la personne du roi et à sa mère, Louise de Savoie, et également à l’image d’une France parfaite ainsi qu’aux arguments régulièrement avancés pour justifier les expéditions italiennes. Par ailleurs, le manuscrit comporte, dans ses marges, plusieurs dessins qui accompagnent les textes et renforcent leur caractère subversif. Le roi et sa mère perçurent bien le danger que ces textes pouvaient représenter puisque les pièces imprimées furent détruites et leurs auteurs incarcérés. En marge de l’article, nous proposons l’édition d’une pièce supplémentaire à ajouter à ce corpus, déjà édité en partie par Anatole de Montaiglon et James de Rothschild. Intitulé Des nouvelles de l’autre monde, ce texte, au ton apocalyptique, permet de replacer le corpus dans un autre contexte, celui des débuts de la réforme et de l’incertitude spirituelle qui règne alors en France.
La política anti francesa del gran Canciller Gattinara
Authors: Rivero-Rodríguez Manuel
Published: June 2022

Karl Brandi atribuyó a Mercurino Arborio di Gattinara la construcción de la idea imperial de Carlos V. Dicha idea no era completamente original y tenía su origen en una larga tradición que estaba más vinculada a Francia que Alemania. Su maestro en la universidad de Turín, Claude de Seyssel fue el ideólogo de noción imperial de Francisco I de Francia justo al mismo tiempo que Gattinara concebía la de Carlos V. Ambas eran incompatibles pues reclamaban un solo rey, una sola fe y una sola espada para toda la Cristiandad. La sucesión imperial en 1519 puso en juego ambas concepciones y para el Gran Canciller Imperial ésta era la clave de todo su sistema. Por eso mismo siempre pensó que era imposible el acuerdo con Francisco I y siempre abogó por someterlo. Pero las ideas de Gattinara estuvieron muy lejos de constituir la sola idea imperial de Carlos V. Al menos hasta 1527 su política siguió la tradición borgoñona arraigada desde el final de la guerra de los Cien Años, una buena relación con Francia basada en la realidad de Borgoña cuya aristocracia, incluyendo a Carlos V, era feudataria de la casa real francesa. En esta exposición abordaremos el perfil antifrancés de Gattinara, la transformación de Francisco I como principal enemigo del Imperio y la asunción de esta idea por parte de la élite castellana que regirá los destinos del Imperio a partir de 1530.
Le XXe siècle
Authors: Thébaud Françoise
Published: June 2022

This intervention focuses particularly on the last volume of the Histore des femmes en Occident, Le XXe siècle, and on the two questions asked by the organisers: its innovative nature at the time of its production and the way it would be written today. First of all the volume included into the historical narrative the new research objects promoted by twenty years of women’s history: women’s work, motherhood, abortion, everyday life, private life, family relations, feminisms but provided also a rereading of the great events of the twentieth century - wars, Russian revolution - and the political regimes. Following the relational approach of the Histoire des femmes, it also discussed the notion of a “gender system”, conceived as a set of socio-sexual roles and a system of thought and representation defining the masculine and the feminine. Therefore, it made it possible to answer the question, put forward by the researchers of the time, of a feminine chronology and to emphasize that the turn of the century is not, in this respect, 1945 but the 1970s. Twenty-five years later, it should be built around an enlarged geography, including small states such as Belgium, Switzerland or Greece and Central and Eastern Europe but also colonial empires. Moreover, new themes and approaches, such as transnational and connected history, circulations, transfers and local forms of adaptation, migrations, international organizations, colonialism and colonisation, masculinities, sexualities including sexual violence in war, gender identities including transgender identities. Lastly, it would be conceived in a more interdisciplinary way, open especially towards sociology and political sciences, recently enriched as they have been by new gendered approaches.
IL lavoro delle donne vent’anni dopo
Authors: Groppi Angela
Published: June 2022

The volume on Women’s work (1996) offers a synthesis of the studies on the gendered norms, culture and practices that shaped the profile of working women and on their multiple fields of activity in Italy from the Middle Ages to the modern period. In this perspective, the book analyzes trades, professions and artisan production, but takes also into account patrimonies and sexuality, as men and women used and brought into the labor market a set of resources that constituted their “social capital”. The importance attributed to female property was an innovative feature of the volume. Recent research on citizenship rights shed light on the laws that barred women from accessing property mainly in the form of legacies and dowries rather than salaries, and on the ways in which they were discriminated in the labor market owing to gendered values connected to the figure of the male breadwinner and the cult of domesticity. Women’s work has opened new areas of research connecting the private and the public sphere: female economic and financial protagonism among minority religious groups (Jews and Protestants); individual profiles of artists, entrepreneurs and business women. The category of gender enables us to view the long-standing limitations of women’s access to work and to professional careers in ways that offer a historical perspective to present day inequalities, such as lower wages, a heavy load of care work and a persistent difficulty in the work-family balance.
Women’s and gender history in India :
Authors: Borghi Elena
Published: June 2022

The paper reflects on the historiography on Indian women and gender, tracing its journey up to the present time. It discusses the turns that have characterised the field and the main authors and texts, which have made it a rich and influential branch of both South Asian and Women’s and Gender History. Moreover, the paper seeks to analyse the close relationship the field has always maintained with the Indian political context, placing scholarly trends and turns within that scenario, and showing the ‘militant’ side of this academic enterprise.
The field of Women’s History gained prominence in India especially from the mid-1970s, fuelled by a wave of social protest and political ferment, which for the first time questioned optimistic views about postcolonial India, and laid bare its unfulfilled promises. The publication, in 1974, of Towards equality, a report commissioned by the Indian government on the status of women in India, was particularly significant for scholars and activists interested in women. Evidence of unaltered gender norms within postcolonial Indian society, and of women’s exclusion from the enjoyment of the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution, helped to catalyse a new wave of research, setting the agenda for emerging Women’s Studies programs. This moment sealed the intimate relationship between feminist politics and Women’s History, an alliance that has remained the backbone of the historiography on Indian women and gender up to the present time. As members of the protest movements, women historians who first contributed to the professionalization of the field have ever since understood writing women’s history as political activism.
Engendering china
Authors: Paderni Paola
Published: June 2022

Women, family, and kinship, have always been important topics in the scholarly field of sinology. The idea of the separation of the sexes was an integral part of classical Chinese political thought that considered it the foundation of heaven and earth, and of all human relationships. Most of the studies regarded imperial China as a time of unchanging subordination of women. According to this narrative, it was only at the beginning of the twentieth century that, thanks to the influence of the West, Chinese women became protagonists of a new cultural, social and political revolution. Since the 90s, the category of gender has been important to revise and move away from what had been defined “The May Fourth Story”, i.e. a portrayal of a victimized woman of old China liberated by reformers and revolutionaries. The most important body of research on women and gender in late imperial China has mainly focused on elite women of the most economically and culturally advanced region in China at the time. Since the end of the 90s, thanks to the opening of archives and libraries in the 80s, and the access to new kinds of sources, the subject broadened to include women and men from all social strata. The article will consider recent contributions arguing that research on women and gender is not a marginal area in the field of sinology, but encourages a revision of the most basic interpretative categories questioning Chinese social relations, institutions, and cultural productions. As Euro-American historical scholarship differs from that in the People’s Republic of China, the article will consider especially the difficulties of translating analytic terms, such as gender, born in a different intellectual context.
IL genere, la storia e I refugee studies
Authors: Salvatici Silvia
Published: June 2022

In her 1999 work entitled Engendering forced migration. Theory and practice anthropologist Doreen Indra reflected on the relevance of the category of gender in refugee studies pointing to the potentials that had already emerged through the scholarship and those that still remained to be explored. This article looks at Indra’s ideas and especially at the scholarship from the English speaking world. It aims to: trace the role played by a gender approach in re/defining refugee studies; determine the place occupied by historical scholarship in this process of re/defining; attempt to understand – by looking specifically at the period following the second world war – whether and to what extent gender became one of the analytical categories in the recently emerged field of refugee history. In pursuing these aims the article shows how an approach adopting the perspective of gender contributed significantly to opening several avenues of enquiry within the field of refugee studies, especially when the work on refugees crossed paths with scholarship that focused specifically on the experiences of men and women. In the more specific area of historical research, the perspective of gender helped greatly to reconstruct the lives of displaced persons in Europe’s post-war camps, especially when attention was given to Jewish women refugees and when the research became interested in aspects of gender connected to the Shoah and its memory. Altogether gender has been very important in showing how complex the category of “refugee” is, in questioning a scholarship that is limited to a mere study of institutions, and in encouraging a bottom up approach that saw refugees as actors and agents. And yet in spite of this, it appears that a gender based perspective is struggling to receive due recognition and that it may end up disappearing entirely from the great historical syntheses of refugees and in works on methodology. Questioning the legitimacy of the “tendency to talk in genderless, universal terms” remains a crucial challenge if gender is to become an essential component of refugee history at the very time it is being redefined.
From household to household
Authors: Sarti Raffaella
Published: June 2022

The question of the gendered dimension of migrations is a topic that for some decades has involved a growing number of scholars – both historians and social scientists – in a sense, it is a theme that shows the gulf between the current approaches and the historiographical landscape where the (albeit innovative) History of Women edited by Georges Duby and Michelle Perrot was conceived, written and published. Out of the five-volume work, only the one on the 19th century, edited by Geneviève Fraisse and Michelle Perrot themselves, included a specific section on migrations and travels (written by Perrot). Since then, growing numbers of studies have focused on female mobility and migrations and their features compared to male ones in the twentieth century and today as well as in medieval and modern times. The problematic presence of massive migration flows in today’s world has indeed prompted the interest in the mobility and migrations of the past. In this context, research on the circulation of female and male domestics over both short and long distances has played a rather important role. On the one hand, entering into service in someone else’s household has turned out to be a privileged channel for mobility and migration. On the other hand, servants and domestic workers constituted and constitute a key component among people flows on short, medium and long distances. This had and has significant implications for the subjective identity of the servants and domestic workers themselves, the experience of the (more or less socially and culturally distant) families where they work (ed), cultural circulation, cultural exchanges and conflicts, the accumulation of goods, the flows of resources, marriage patterns, urbanisation, colonisation, imperialism, the development of trans-national families, etc. My article will review these studies on servants and domestic workers, focusing on the themes they deal with, the results they have achieved and future research perspectives.
D’autres droits politiques :

The notion of political rights did not apply to Greek antiquity. Even the concept did not exist. The question we have to ask is whether women had any active place in the community and if so, if we can call this participation in public affairs a political participation. I propose to discuss the words ancient Greeks employed when they spoke of citizens and citizenship. We can also consider the words they employed to bar bad people from political activity. I will indicate how the male/female differenciation operated in these different linguistic practices. So, the point is to understand what politics, as we know it today, meant for ancient Greeks at that time and how different it was from our present day conception. In underlining the differences we might be able to understand how other societies like the ancient Greek one should be understood without anachronistic lenses. In a way, putting women back into the question helps us to understand that Greeks had indeed a very different concept of citizenship and of political rights.
Paterfamilias
Authors: Joye Sylvie
Published: June 2022

The father figure is such an important cultural and symbolic object in our society that it is quite difficult to question it even when it seems to be socially or morally unacceptable or indefensible. Therefore, since the 19th century it has remained a reference point for psychoanalytic studies as for a large part of social analyses devoted to family. In the public imagination, the Roman paterfamilias, who has the ability and the power to kill or to let live, and detains a sacred authority, is generally assumed as the epitome of the paternal authority. Nevertheless, that figure has been strongly questioned these last years by scholars. The contemporary questioning about parents’ rights and duties have brought to rethink the various facets of paternal authority, since too long considered as eternal and immutable. Following scientific work which proved that the transformations of the Roman world were more progressive than people have conceived of, specialists of Late Antiquity tried to highlight the changes about marriage and inheritance, or even the changes concerning the restructuring of family linked with the Christianization. This last process allowed the Roman household to survive, even if deeply transformed.
Les identités sexuées en questions (époque moderne)
Authors: Steinberg Sylvie
Published: June 2022

Identity has played a special role in the historiography surrounding the history of women and gender. In the third volume of A History of Women in the West (sixteenth through eighteenth centuries: Renaissance and Enlightenment Paradoxes), the emphasis was placed on the multiplicity of women’s identities, with special attention to age, marital status, social condition, religious belief, ties of dependency, and finally the body and physical beauty. Since the book’s publication in 1991, however, research into gendered identity has been greatly expanded and developed, and the concept of identity has itself been the focus of much scientific study. This interest was however accompanied by doubts about its relevance, in particular because it could be seen as opening the way to naturalizing discourses about gender, while ignoring both the multiplicity and the instability of the identities. Seeking to consider the contours of gendered identities, while avoiding over-rigid categorization, and to take into account the theoretical contribution of gender studies, while historicizing its ideas, historical research has brought its expertise to bear on all these debates. In this paper, in particular, three main themes are tackled: the formation of gendered identities, the boundaries between these identities, and the relation between gendered identities and sexualities.
De la défense des terres à la sauvegarde d’un territoire. Construire un espace de mouvement social en Cisjordanie occupée
Authors: Garrault Antoine
Published: June 2022

À la fin de la seconde Intifada (2000-2005), des comités villageois palestiniens se mobilisent en Cisjordanie contre le dispositif d’occupation israélien. Se présentant comme des activistes de la résistance populaire contemporaine (RPC), ces militants s’organisent pour la défense locale de leurs terres. Cet article étudie les modalités d’engagement et la nature des actions collectives de ces militants au xxie siècle. Il analyse plus particulièrement les stratégies de coordination et de changement d’échelle de la lutte pour la sauvegarde de la Cisjordanie en tant que territoire palestinien. Pour se faire, nous associons les outils des études autochtones et des études coloniales aux instruments de l’analyse des mouvements sociaux afin d’expliquer les tentatives de construction d’un espace de mouvement social de la RPC. Dans la Palestine post-Oslo, nous montrons que les antagonismes portant sur la définition des alliés de la RPC, sur les stratégies d’échelle et sur les objectifs territoriaux empêchent la constitution de cet espace de mouvement social.

Du Black Power au mouvement Black Lives Matter
Authors: Bertail Thomas
Published: June 2022

Résumé :
À partir de la seconde moitié des années 1960, l’expression Black Power prend la forme
d’un slogan largement diffusé et repris au point de devenir le symbole
de cette période qui voit naître de nouvelles organisations radicales
et révolutionnaires africaines-américaines telles que le Black Panther Party (BPP).
Cet article interroge la nécessité, pour des organisations telles que
le BPP, de provoquer une rupture avec les traditions iconographiques
par l’adoption d’un langage visuel faisant usage de codes de
reconnaissance internes afin de revendiquer une expérience et une
identité collectives pour en faire un vecteur de visibilité et de
lutte contre la naturalisation des stéréotypes. Il s’agira ainsi
d’analyser l’influence de la période du Black Power et de sa dimension esthétique à
l’aune du mouvement Black
Lives Matter.
Textile-Based 3D Truss Reinforcement for Cement-Based Composites Subjected to Impact Loading Part I: Development of Reinforcing Structure and Composite Characterization

Concrete is extremely vulnerable against impact loading due to its low tensile strength and pronounced brittleness. The application of thin strengthening layers, containing Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) and Strain-Hardening Cement-based Composites (SHCCs) in a ductile cement-based composite, is a promising solution to enhance the impact resistance of existing concrete structures. Three-dimensional (3D) textile structures exhibit numerous advantages over two-dimensional (2D) ones, most importantly higher shear, bending and energy absorption capacity, hence, appear to be instrumental in providing sufficient reinforcement to the target strengthening layers. However, design variability and optimization possibility of available 3D textile reinforcement are restricted. This paper presents the development of novel textile-based 3D truss reinforcement that can overcome these limitations. On the basis of woven 3D cellular structures, innovative pyramidal 3D truss reinforcement with favorable load-bearing capacity as well as notable energy absorption capability is developed and successfully realized. To investigate the feasibility and efficacy, cement-based composite consisting SHCC and newly developed pyramidal 3D truss reinforcement is prepared and tested under high-speed tensile loading as well as transversal impact loading. The experimental results show that woven 3D truss reinforcement is highly compatible with SHCC, and significantly enhances its impact resistance. Furthermore, SHCC reinforced with novel pyramidal 3D truss structure remarkably outperforms that with 2D carbon reinforcing structure approved for commercial use.
Development of Filled Immiscible Polymers Blend Monofilaments for Water Detection in Composite

Published: June 2022

In order to avoid environmental pollution by effluents, the incorporation of electrical conductive yarns in a waterproof membrane allows detecting a leak or crack on industrial concrete structure. The membrane is made of composite materials: a glass textile structure equipped with the detector yarns and molded in an epoxy resin. The liquid’s detection and the data’s transmission depend on the yarn’s conductivity variation and its chemical and physical properties. This study aims to develop a water detector monofilament from conductive polymer composites (CPC): an immiscible polymers blend (polyamide 6.6/elastomer) filled with carbon nanotubes (CNT). The addition of elastomer in the CPC yarn is important to withstand the mechanical deformation of the resin structure without breaking. The morphology of the immiscible polymers blend and the localization of the CNT influence the electrical conductivity of the yarn and thus, its property of water detection. Two principles of water detection are investigated with this blend: the short circuit and the absorption. For the short circuit, the presence of liquid is detected when the liquid creates a conductive path between two yarns in parallel. While, the absorption principle is based on the conductivity variation with the yarn’s swelling in contact with water.
