Fireworks are any composition or device designed to produce a visible or audible effect made outof hazardous chemicals. The key hazards involved in firework industries are toxic fumes, fire andexplosion. The objective of this review is to differentiate between old firecrackers and ecofriendly/green firecrackers and their health hazards. Published articles were searched from Med Line, PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane library. It is observed that the air concentration of heavy metalsfound in old firecrackers was high during and after firecrackers bursting activities which lead tohealth effects like skin, respiratory, neurological, multiple degrees of burn etc. In ecofriendly firecrackers, the reduction in the chemicals like barium nitrate, potassium nitrate and sulphur leadsto reduction in PM2.5. Enough information is not available related to the ecofriendly firecrackers;hence, drawing a conclusion related to their health at present is difficult. The review identifiedmany health effects as well as accidents (or incidents) related to firecrackers bursting,manufacturing and transportation. Ecofriendly/ Green firecrackers area better substitute of oldfirecrackers as their composition has less harmful contents. Further studies are required toconclude the effects of ecofriendly/green fire crackers as the complete list of their formulations arestill not available.

Os insetos formam o maior grupo animal existente no planeta, representando aproximadamente 3/4 da diversidade biológica do reino animal. São um grupo de extrema importância ecológica e econômica, interferindo diretamente na vida dos seres humanos. Infelizmente, muitas vezes, os insetos são vistos com repugnância devido algumas espécies estarem associadas à transmissão de doenças ou lixo. Nesse aspecto, a escola tem papel essencial na desmistificação e esclarecimento sobre os insetos para estudantes, que podem agir também como replicadores de conhecimento. Nesse trabalho apresentamos resultados parciais do conhecimento prévio de alunos do 6 e 7º ano do ensino fundamental a respeito dos insetos e, os resultados de práticas lúdicas sobre insetos para complementar o ensino tradicional da escola.  Os resultados indicam carência de conhecimento sobre os insetos, porém demonstra interesse dos alunos em obter conhecimento a respeito desse grupo e, em participar de atividades dinâmicas e lúdicas que possam incrementar as aulas tradicionais.

Authors: Rahmanian Samira , Karimi Majid Reza , Rasekh Keramatollah
Published: October 2022

The present study explored the relationship between religiosity and work conscience with a tendency to administrative and financial corruption. A sample of 400 participants was selected through the systematic sampling method. The data was collected by questionnaire, the validity of which was determined by face validity, and the reliability was checked by internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha method. The analytical results also showed that work conscience and religiosity have a positive and significant impact on the tendency to administrative and financial corruption. Moreover, the demographic variables of occupation, social class, and income are significantly associated with the tendency to corruption. Explaining the dependent variable by the sum of independent variables indicated that work conscience (reliability), income, social class, and ethnicity, respectively, are the strongest predictors of the tendency to corruption, which can explain 13.6% of the corruption tendency variance. The findings were compared with similar results, and suggestions were provided to prevent the spread of corruption.
Urban square design with pedestrian approach based on space syntax method (Case study: Aysan project area of Tabriz)
Authors: Rostami Aria , Fatehi Hossein Babapoor
Published: October 2022

Pedestrianism and spending time in urban space is one of the most basic and necessary parts of human life, so that most human needs such as buying and selling, spending leisure time, etc. are removable in urban spaces. It is important to understand the components of urban space and their relation with the design of an urban square. Moreover, we assume in this article that all components of urban elements are directly or indirectly associated with each other. Our purpose is to create an integrated method using salingrose's theories and space syntax method to design an ideal urban square while expressing the effect of different parameters. In this integrated method, we transform the urban spaces into diagrams, and then analyze Salingrose theories and space syntax. In this research, we analyze the urban space in two parts, one as the whole area, which includes the access network in a specific radius and the second a site as a square. In the study of the field site, we promoted two types of methods to advance the research: first, the analysis by the method of space syntax and second, the configuration of the space of the field by the method of Salingrose' theories.

Authors: Wang Yi
Published: October 2022

Urban agglomerations are the highest form of spatial organization in the mature stage of urban development, and will be impacted by external risks during the development process. How to enhance the urban economic resilience of urban agglomerations plays an important role in the sustainable development of urban agglomerations. Based on resilience theory and taking the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration as the research object, this paper explores the spatiotemporal characteristics, influencing factors and predictions of urban economic resilience in the future. The study found: (1) Based on the kernel density estimation, the economic resilience of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration has significant spatial non-equilibrium characteristics; (2) Based on the correlation analysis, the degree of industrial structure optimization, government financial support, degree of opening to the outside world, innovation investment, Financial development level, urbanization level and ecological level are positively correlated with urban economic resilience; based on principal component analysis, government financial support is a key factor affecting urban economic resilience, with a weight of 17%; (3) Based on the grayscale prediction model, GM(1,1) can better fit the overall urban economic resilience of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration from 2011 to 2020, and the overall urban economic resilience of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration is at a high level from 2021 to 2025, but there is a downward trend . This research has important guiding significance for understanding the urban economic resilience of urban agglomerations and how to improve the urban economic resilience of urban agglomerations and promote regional coordinated development.

“My dearest Mamma”: Mutual Reception between Epistolary Communicators
Authors: Semeniuk Olga , Kuzmenko Volodymyr , Anderson Iryna , Baidatska Svitlana , Bloshchynskyi Ihor , Lahodynskyi Oleksandr
Published: October 2022

The epistolary dialogue between Winston Churchill and his mother, Lady Randolph, is a polyphonic unity, incorporating letters carrying “coded” messages which serve for different functions: communication exchanges, autocommunication and mutual reception while reflecting a bond between both correspondents. The article presents a new approach to the concept of mutual reception between epistolary communicators, based on the conducted research of the epistolary dialogues between the son (Winston Churchill) and his mother. The concept of mutual reception is determined here as an ability to “tune” into an emotional wavelength of the epistolary communicator in order to build mutual communication links for keeping the epistolary dialogue flowing. It is argued that the epistolary text represents an intertextual unity, constituting a part of a communication system – an epistolary dialogue, involving interplay between two individuals and creating their mutual epistolary space with the metalanguage to understand which and to discover means for conveying mutual reception is the objective, pursued in this research. The study of Winston Churchill’s unique style of epistolary writing will contribute to future research on related issues.

The G7 has launched a partnership designed to help developing countries ‘build back better’ after COVID-19. This ambition is coming up against multiple challenges, but the pandemic created an opportunity to transform international development assistance and promote sustainable economic growth. However, the ability to mobilize private capital is limited by a trust deficit that plagues donors and also recipients. This paper considers proposals – some incremental and some more radical – for mobilizing much higher levels of development finance and establishing more effective and equitable relationships between donors and recipient countries. It evaluates the extent to which development assistance has become a locus of competition between the US and China. It also considers the wide-ranging economic impacts of Russia’s war in Ukraine and the climate crisis. Pressure on the Bretton Woods institutions to reform so that they can meet the scale of the current challenge is growing. The paper assesses prospects for reform, including for the creation of alternative institutions. It considers several critical sectors – healthcare, climate policy and digital infrastructure – and presents proposals for change. Ultimately, an inclusive approach to development that emphasizes co-creation and accountability may be essential in creating a culture that can enable the necessary investments.

A Comparison of Two Felling Techniques Considering Stump-Height-Related Timber Value Loss
Authors: Gülci Neşe , Gülci Sercan , Akay Abdullah E. , Sessions John
Published: October 2022

Harvest from plantations can provide both industrial wood and forest residues for bioenergy, including stumps. The literature suggests that the choice of cutting system can affect the division between industrial wood recovery and remaining stump volume. In this study, two felling techniques - motor-manual chainsaw and feller-buncher, were compared based on stump-height-related timber value loss for four ground slope classes: high, medium, low, and flat. The economic value loss of wood material for three products - sawlogs, pulpwood, and fiber-chip wood, was determined based on the estimated volume of stumps left in the woods. The results indicated that the average stump height for the motor-manual chainsaw and feller-buncher was 17.16 cm and 8.69 cm. The economic value loss of wood material per stump was higher in felling by manual chainsaw as compared to the feller-buncher operation (log: €0.60­, paper wood: €0.29­, fiber-chip: €0.15­). However, volume loss due to high stumps could contribute to wood for bioenergy if stumps are subsequently removed. Additional research is needed to evaluate the benefits and costs of stump removal for bioenergy as part of a total supply chain to provide both industrial wood and wood for bioenergy.
Machine learning (ML) in diet planning for type-1 diabetes - An overview
Authors: Banerjee Swapan
Published: October 2022

Diabetes is a chronic non-communicable disease that has become a significant public health issue for decades globally. Diabetes can slowly destroy the human body from head to leg if not appropriately treated and managed through medication, diet, and physical activities. The pancreas fails to secrete insulin or enough insulin in type-1 diabetes, while the organ secretes the same hormone sufficiently, but the body cannot process it properly in type 2. In this article, the focussed area is type-1 diabetes which is most prevalent among children and adolescents. The article tried to link up with Industry 4.0, which is a great blessing for all of us. Industries got machine learning and other applications that can help predict, analyze, assess, and intervene in diabetes and other deadly diseases. The data on type-1 diabetes can be collected from private and public settings for exploratory data analysis (EDA) followed by model selections (4ML models and Saving models). Different machine learning algorithms are usually employed for classification, prediction, and detection despite fluctuating blood sugar records. Various studies showed that an Artificial neural network (ANN) would be the best choice for these needful actions having a 34% rate of applications. In addition to these applications, calorie (diet and exercises) assessments can be done much more precisely. In conclusion, learning of machine learning has now become mandatory not only for data science people but also for physicians, dietitians, and healthcare researchers.

Published: October 2022

Anemia has been identified as a serious public health problem in both developed and developing countries, affecting around 2 billion people and accounting for threequarters of a million fatalities per year in Africa and Southeast Asia. Anemia in pregnancy is common, according to research from around the world. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of awareness, causes, and prevention of anemia in pregnancy among pregnant mothers attending Asogbon PHC Bariga in Lagos State, Nigeria. A well-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The respondents were given a questionnaire. One hundred and nine (109) questionnaires were distributed, collected, and analyzed by respondents. The study's data was examined and processed with the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) V21. To assess participant characteristics and offer responses to the study's research questions, descriptive analysis, frequency, average, and percentage were employed. The study discovered that knowledge about anemia signs, vulnerability, food, and prenatal visits was good, but information about causes and perceived effects of anemia was inadequate. According to the findings, the most common known cause of the condition is a poor diet, followed by malaria, worm infestations, and other factors. Despite widespread recognition that poor diet is the leading cause of anemia in pregnancy, there is little information about food sources that can assist in combating the disease. Also, less than half of those who profess knowledge of anemia-fighting foods eat them throughout pregnancy. The study found that the pregnant women were of reproductive age and had completed secondary and higher secondary school. The study revealed that while there was good awareness and prevention of anemia in pregnancy, To obtain a better feto-maternal outcome in pregnancy, there is a need to raise awareness about anemia in pregnancy and implement effective health education programs on anemia prevention.

Authors: Rajbanshi Bijendra
Published: October 2022

This research tries to explore the perception of Nepali IT employees towards telecommuting in a qualitative method. It tries to dig into the opportunities that the Nepali context offers for the adoption of telecommuting concept and identify the potential pitfalls. The individual interview method was chosen for the data collection. The semi-structured guideline was followed. Convenience sampling was used. Four employees working in IT companies inside the Kathmandu Valley were interviewed. 100 % of the participants reported that this concept is advantageous in the case of Nepal. Flexibility, freedom in doing work, increases in productivity, work-life balance, and cost-effectiveness were found to be perceived advantages of telecommuting in the context of Nepal. Worsening of communication and lack of infrastructure, disturbances in the house are perceived disadvantages. Furthermore, the inclusion of wide diversity of workforce is the prominent opportunity of telecommuting while the implementation part is the main hurdle as it is a new concept in the case of Nepal.

Estrategias para mejorar la respuesta de las encuestas en línea
Authors: Díaz de Rada Vidal
Published: October 2022

Una visión histórica de las herramientas de recogida de información desvela un progresivo descenso de las encuestas cara a cara y telefónicas, que han sido sustituidas por las autoadministradas. Los avances tecnológicos han supuesto un gran incremento de las encuestas a través de la red en la segunda década del siglo XXI. Ahora bien, muchas de estas investigaciones presentan tasas de respuesta muy bajas, algunas de menos de dos dígitos. Para solventar esta situación, este trabajo presenta cinco estrategias efectivas para mejorar la respuesta de las encuestas a través de la red. Concretamente, poner máximo cuidado en el acceso a la persona encuestada, contactar varias veces con la muestra objetivo, ajustar la duración del trabajo de campo, notificar a la persona que se va a encuestar que ha sido seleccionada para participar en una investigación, y utilizar gratificaciones. La aplicación de estas estrategias consigue un notable aumento de la tasa de respuesta y, además, una mejor representatividad muestral.

Authors: Gümüş Hüseyin
Published: October 2022

Mitral valve redo surgery is a high-risk intervention in particularly patients with low ejection fraction. In these cases, if the absence of aortic insufficiency is documented, beating heart surgery is possible via right thoracotomy in the Trendelenburg position. However, venous drainage, cardiopulmonary bypass temperature, electrolyte balance, and cerebral monitorization are the key considerations for the perfusionist. Herein, we discuss the perfusion standards of mitral valve redo surgery in a patient with low ejection fraction and a stuck mitral valve.
The relationship between left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and hemoglobin A1c levels in the type 2 diabetes mellitus patient population
Authors: Güzel Tuncay
Published: October 2022

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, which is a good marker for determining glycemic levels, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in the type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patient population. Patients and methods: This retrospective study was conducted with 116 type 2 DM patients (62 males, 54 females; mean age: 58.4±9.5 years; range, 18 to 65 years) between July 2019 and November 2021. The patients were divided into two groups as those without LVDD (n=55, Group 1) and those with LVDD (n=61, Group 2). Early to late diastolic transmural flow velocity (E/A) ratio, the mean ratio (E/e') of mitral inflow (E) and mitral annular (e'), HbA1c levels, other hemogram and biochemical parameters, and demographic data were recorded. Results: The HbA1c level was significantly higher in the group with LVDD (6.96±1.23 vs. 9.00±2.19, p<0.001). While the mean E/e' ratio was 9.69±2.73 in the group without LVDD, it was 16.00±1.69 in the group with LVDD, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (p<0.001). The mean E/A ratio was significantly higher in the group without LVDD (1.25±0.51 vs. 1.02±0.53, p=0.021). In regression operating characteristics analysis, a HbA1c cut-off value of 7.35 and was found to be a predictor of LVDD in the type 2 DM patient group with a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 80% (AUC: 0.805; 95% confidence interval: 0.718-0.892; p<0.001). Conclusion: Providing close glycemic follow-up and monitoring the HbA1c level can reduce heart failure and other comorbid conditions that may develop, particularly after LVDD.

Authors: Bayraktar Fatih Avni
Published: October 2022

Objectives: The aim of this study was to present the outcomes of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) after cardiac surgery. Patients and methods: Sixty-eight patients (35 males, 33 females; mean age: 60.1±10.1 years; range, 18 to 80 years) who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery or valvular heart surgery between January 2017 and December 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent NPWT for DSWI after cardiac surgery were included in the study. Baseline and postoperative characteristics of the patients were presented. Previously claimed risk factors for mortality were investigated. Results: The time interval between cardiac surgery and diagnosis of DSWI was 35.8±30.2 days. The mean duration of NPWT was 21.1±11.8 days. In-hospital mortality was 14.7%. Coagulase-negative staphylococci were the most frequently isolated microorganism (n=26, 38.2%), followed by Klebsiella spp. (n=10, 14.7%). The only factor associated with higher mortality was the female sex in our DSWI patients. Conclusion: Negative pressure therapy is a safe and reliable treatment option in patients with DSWI with or without sternal dehiscence.

Authors: R RENJINI V , JHA GIRISH K , SINHA J P
Published: October 2022

This paper attempts to examine the potential and utilisation of solar power with a special focus on solar powered irrigation system in India. The solar capacity has mostly concentrated in Southern and Western states but most of the states have not attained their solar power potential. Installation of the solar irrigation pump with state and central financial support is impressive in states like Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. Further, the life cycle cost of solar photovoltaic (SPV) water pump and diesel pump was calculated based on the field survey data collected during 2019 from three districts of Andhra Pradesh. The capital cost of SPV pump per horsepower is 8 times higher than that of diesel pump but operation and maintenance cost of solar found to be significantly lower than that of diesel pump which is making solar powered irrigation system economically viable.

Published: October 2022

Agriculture sector is the fundamental constituent of the Indian economy and this sector provides employment to more than (50%) population and contributes (17.32%) of gross domestic product. India is a net exporter of agricultural commodities with net exports earnings of US$ 28.66 billion in the year 2015. Nonetheless, liberalization, globalization, world Trade organization can greatly enhance the role of agriculture as an engine of growth in low-income countries like India by making it possible for the agricultural sector to grow considerably faster than the domestic consumption. It also increases the potential for enhance agricultural export from India to World. The present study was based on secondary data collected from the various published sources, viz. various issues of hand book of RBI, FAO Trade year Book, Statistical Abstract in India, indiastat.com, FAOSTAT etc. This study was carried out during 2018 at department of Agricultural Economics, CCSHAU, Hisar. The data were grouped into two periods (Pre-WTO and Post-WTO) depending upon the formation of world trade organization and its effect on export and import of agricultural sector, Period-I related to agricultural trade before formation of world trade organization and ranged from 1975-1994 and Period-II ranged from 1995-2015 which is the Post-WTO period. The data was analysed by using major analytical techniques like least square technique, tabular analysis, per centage share, growth rates and Coefficient of Variation. In this context, the present study analyses the trends, growth and instability in agricultural trade of India before and after WTO.

Authors: Wood Craig
Published: October 2022

This paper reveals secrets. Like their Renaissance counterparts, pedagogical alchemists often work in secret networks as they struggle against dominant forces. Pedagogical alchemists seek to transform assemblages of neoliberal education policies, shifting enactments of such policies from replication of systemic hierarchies and oppressions towards teacher and student experiences of joy, hope, and resistance. The secret art of pedagogical alchemy adopts critical praxis research method that amplifies epistemological insights arising from teacher experience. This paper utilizes performative autoethnography and social fiction to interrogate the influence of socio-political context on the labour of an 8th grade school-teacher. The secret art of pedagogical alchemy locates the experiences of a pedagogical alchemist whose 8th grade history class includes a unit of work on Renaissance alchemist Isabella Cortese. The experiences are framed by globalised, neo-liberal education policy assemblage. Like the writings of Renaissance alchemist, Isabella Cortese, the voice of the 8th grade history pedagogical alchemist is performed in quatrains that are written in iambic pentameter.

The climate change have been obtained the much attention worldwide in order to launch the mitigation policy and implementation for alleviate this crisis. From the statistical data in 2013 found that an average temperature of Bangkok Metropolitan Region area was 36 degrees Celsius which is higher than an average temperature of suburban area around 3 degrees Celsius. This phenomenon is affecting to daily lives of humans’ which was influence by number of population, economics, and urban density. This study attempted to assess transportation behavior and daily life activity (electricity and energy consumption), including, an attitude on the advertising and law or regulation which promote energy consumption reduction. The cause of the improper behavior would be examined by exploring different area of Bangkok Metropolitan Region (suburban, center area, and central business district). This study conducted the 675 questionnaires survey for data collection and applying logistic regression analysis method is finding a relationship of the influencing factors. The result of study demonstrated that the public transport users have a positive attitude since a most of people agree by adopting public transportation as a main mode in daily transportation for energy reduction and reduction carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, to mitigate the problematic of Urban Heat Island, the city should launch campaign to raise people awareness and motivation for change the individual behavior and attitudes on both travel pattern and daily activity. The approach would be an attractive to mitigate Urban Heat Island problem and reach to the livable.

Published: October 2022

As an academician in urban environmental planning and management, I understood that urban politics is politics in and about cities. This term refers to the diverse political structure that occurs in urban areas where there is diversity in both culture and socio-economic status. Urban politics are political science that falls into the field of urban studies, which incorporates many aspects of cities, suburbs, and urbanization. Recent trend in urban politics is in assuring sustainable urban development where political leaders, public representatives, and urban local government play the lead role in constructing any planning process which is focusing accessibility to resources, equity, facilities and poverty including working for the production and economic opportunities in order to decent guaranty of life for sustainable development.

El cáncer de pene es una malignidad poco frecuente en los países desarrollados, pero con incidencias muy superiores en regiones de África, Asia y Sudamérica. A pesar de estar altamente asociado con la infección por el virus del papiloma humano, la carcinogénesis de estos tumores sigue parcialmente comprendida. Para mejorar nuestro conocimiento biológico de la enfermedad y aumentar las poténciales opciones terapéuticas disponibles para estos pacientes, presentamos, hasta nuestro conocimiento, el primer estudio mutacional de pacientes con carcinoma escamoso de pene en el Paraguay. Partiendo de ADN tumoral de 4 pacientes paraguayos con carcinoma escamoso de pene, se han analizado 170 genes mediante secuenciación de nueva generación. Las variantes identificadas han sido analizadas mediante un programa el Sistema de Inteligencia Artificial Watson for Genomics de IBM para la interpretación de su significado biológico, clínico y terapéutico.

Se han identificado variantes reportadas como patogénicas y con potenciales implicaciones clínico-terapéuticas en los genes TERT, CDKN2A, TP53, GNAS, HRAS y NOTCH1; además se han identificado variantes de significado incierto en los genes BRCA2, NOTCH1, ERBB4, CDK12, DNMT3A, MSH3, RET, EP300, BARD1, FOSL2, TET2 y HNF1A.

Nuestros hallazgos aportan evidencias de perfiles mutacionales con potenciales implicaciones clínico-terapéuticas en estos pacientes, especialmente novedosas y relevantes en el contexto regional y sus limitadas opciones de tratamiento en estos pacientes.
Un projet colonial des Fugger (1530-1531)
Authors: Sánchez Jean-Noël
Published: October 2022

Un projet colonial des Fugger (1530-1531) — En 1530, deux ans après que l’exploitation du territoire vénézuélien a été concédée aux banquiers Welser, Veit Hörl, représentant de la famille Fugger, fait parvenir au Conseil des Indes, l’administration chargée des affaires ultramarines, un projet de conquête et de colonisation de la région qui commence au détroit de Magellan. Cette proposition fera l’objet d’âpres tractations durant l’année 1531 avant d’être au dernier moment abandonnée par ceux-là mêmes qui en avaient été à l’initiative, sans que les fonctionnaires du Conseil n’en comprennent la raison. Depuis la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, ce corpus de documents a été retranscrit et brièvement discuté par plusieurs historiens, essentiellement latino-américains et allemands, sans qu’aucune réponse satisfaisante à l’énigme n’ait pu être apportée. Sans évidemment prétendre donner une réponse définitive aux multiples problèmes que pose ce dossier, cette étude s’attache, en revenant aux questions sine qua non de la chronologie dans laquelle s’inscrit la proposition des Fugger et surtout de la localisation de la région effectivement visée par leur projet, à reprendre le travail d’élucidation commencé précédemment en utilisant de nombreuses sources qui jusqu’alors n’avaient pas encore été mobilisées sur ce sujet.
Les émotions dans le monde régulier au Moyen Âge : quelques pistes de recherche (XIIe-début XIIIe siècle)
Authors: Tock Benoît-Michel

Les émotions dans le monde régulier au Moyen Âge (XIIe-début XIIIe siècle) : quelques pistes de recherche — L’histoire des émotions, champ de recherche assez neuf dans les sciences historiques, s’est encore peu intéressée à la vie monastique. Il est vrai que beaucoup de textes religieux, lorsqu’ils parlent d’émotions, le font de manière très construite, soit pour les nier, soit pour mettre en avant celles qui sont présumées bonnes. Mais une lecture attentive des sources permet, dans certains cas, de dépasser ce barrage sciemment aménagé par les auteurs, et de saisir sur le vif, en creux ou pas, des séquences d’émotions. Dans cette perspective, la question de l’acédie, que l’on peut plus ou moins aujourd’hui rebaptiser dépression, est d’un intérêt majeur.
« Dextrarum junctio » ou le sceau des âmes unies : usages d’un geste dans la France des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles

“Dextrarum junctio” ou le sceau des âmes unies : usages d’un geste dans la France des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles — La jonction des esprits lors des serments de fidélité, de paix et d’alliance se traduit dans le langage iconographique par la réunion des mains droites. Les valeurs juridiques, rituelles mais aussi affectives de la dextrarum junctio, analysées par des théoriciens du langage corporel comme Giovanni Bonifacio, Juan Caramuel, John Bulwer et Alphonse Costadau, se déploient au sein de la peinture française des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles selon des formules innovantes, et interagissent avec d’autres repères de gestique et d’expression. Ainsi la formule traditionnelle – exprimant l’idéal de l’union des âmes, la consolidation des rapports humains par le lien physique, la fiabilité supposée du toucher – va-t-elle s’enrichir de significations complexes, voire ambivalentes, au gré des contextes et du temps : de quelle nature est exactement l’intimité des mains, dans tels accords diplomatiques subtilement déséquilibrés, dans tels Mariages de la Vierge, portraits de couples ou encore scènes de galanterie ?
Exposer ou voiler ? Les représentations de la douleur au XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Stentz Barbara
Published: October 2022

Exposer ou voiler ? Les représentations de la douleur au XVIIIe siècle — Au XVIIIe siècle, la multitude des débats et des discours octroyant une place centrale à la douleur témoigne d’un intérêt singulier, presque obsessionnel, pour ses manifestations. Les arts figurés offrent eux aussi un champ d’étude remarquable : la douleur y fait en effet l’objet de valorisations esthétiques et morales inédites qui fournissent l’occasion de se pencher sur la question de ses perceptions et de ses interprétations. L’analyse des images qui mettent en scène des corps dolents éclaire en effet les modalités de ses représentations et les normes picturales comme sociales qui les sous-tendent et sont supposées opérer un tri entre ce que l’on peut laisser paraître et ce qu’il faut taire ou dissimuler.
