Modelling of the Aluminium Electrolysis Process: Feeding and Dissolution of Alumina Particles
Authors:   University of Wuppertal, Janoske Uwe , Gesell Hendrik
Published: November 2023

The present numerical study describes the feeding and dissolution behaviour of alumina particles in the electrolytic bath of industrial Hall-Héroult cells. The dissolution rate is controlled by thermal and chemical conditions as well as the transport and mixing of particles in the electrolyte. The model presented is implemented in the OpenFOAM® framework using the Lagrangian approach for the coupling of continuous (electrolyte and liquid aluminium) and dispersed phase (alumina particles). The model solves the particle motion, mass transfer from dispersed to continuous phase, the energy equation, and the transport of dissolved concentration. Moreover, the influence of thermal conditions and turbulent mixing due to gas bubbles arising under the anodes is considered by the model. The velocity field is adopted from a previously executed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation. With the help of the model developed, various studies are carried out. The focus corresponding to the increased flexibility of electric power consumption is on the thermal behaviour during cold operating conditions of the electrolysis cell. It is important to ensure that all the alumina feed is dissolved. The sinking of undissolved alumina to the bottom of the cell must be prevented as it impairs cell efficiency. The results show that the dissolution rate and total dissolution time depend on the bath temperature. A greater effect is observed for the bath superheat defined by the difference of bath temperature and liquidus temperature of the bath. Furthermore, the influence of process parameters like grain size and feeding masses are studied in detail.

Published: November 2023

Compulsive buying is an important field of study in consumer research. The present study is one of the first to use socio-demographic data to examine the dynamics of compulsive buying behavior in Malaysia. For this research, a representative sample of 624 Malaysian consumers was identified using the street intercepts method. This study established a cut-off point to separate compulsive Malaysian consumers from those who are not. The findings reveal that 10.5% of Malaysians engage in compulsive buying behaviors. This study also developed a Consumer Buying Continuum, which suggests that 184 (29.5%) of the respondents were categorized as non-compulsive buyers, 232 (37.2%) individuals were classified as recreational buyers, 142 (22.8%) of the sample population were categorized as borderline compulsive buyers and 66 (10.5%) individuals were categorized as compulsive buyers. Surprisingly, the results indicate that demographic parameters such as gender, age, and income differentiate compulsive buyers from those who are not, with females and younger individuals exhibiting this behavior more than others. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

Published: November 2023

At a time when the world economy is uncertain, people need to be financially prepared to ensure stability. However, many people are prone to financial vulnerability because of their attitude and behaviour, apart from their environment. Some people have excessive online shopping lifestyles, poor spending habits, and a lack of self-control, leading them into a major debt trap and other financial obstacles that increase their financial vulnerability. This study aims to examine the impact of the abovementioned factors on the financial vulnerability of Malaysians. The online survey targeted Malaysian consumers and received 2241 responses. The data were analysed by Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using Smart PLS software. The results show that compulsive online shopping behaviour has a negative impact on financial vulnerability, while spending behaviour and locus of control have a positive effect. The findings of this study hold significance for both academics and practitioners alike. Theoretically, this study adds to the limited knowledge base in financial health and promotes a better understanding of the behavioural and psychological factors that influence individuals’ financial vulnerability. Practically, this study highlights the importance of collaboration between the government and relevant agencies in developing comprehensive strategies to improve the financial stability and well-being of Malaysians to achieve the country’s goal of becoming a high- income country with a high standard of living.
The Lure of Digital Music Piracy: Modelling the Decision to Pirate or Not to Pirate Digital Music
Authors: Lim Ee-Shiang , Lee Helen S.H.
Published: November 2023

Music is increasingly being consumed online. Unauthorised downloading and spreading of music have posed a significant threat to the digital music industry. This study investigates the factors that affect digital music piracy among end-users in a developing country where the intellectual property rights regimes differ from those in developed countries. Both the descriptive and econometric analyses were carried out using primary data collected in Penang, Malaysia. In terms of socio-demographic characteristics, age and ethnicity were found to be significant factors in influencing consumers’ engagement in digital music piracy. The results highlight that music piracy is prevalent across all age groups, with young people having a higher tendency to engage in illegal music activities. Likewise, social influences from family members and the media are also significant factors in explaining digital music piracy. Surprisingly, knowing intellectual property rights and awareness of the severity of punishment for piracy also appear to increase the likelihood of pirating digital music. The study concludes by discussing the policy implications of these findings.
Bawang Army in Malaysia: Reaction Toward Hate Speech – Is it a Cyber-Bully or Cyber-Aggression?
Authors: Kamaruddin Nor Azimah , Putit Lennora , Fikry Amily
Published: November 2023

The Bawang army phenomenon is newly recognized, and no prior studies have explored it yet. Consequently, understanding this concept necessitates a qualitative research approach. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with pertinent stakeholders to probe various research questions. To achieve the first research objective, involving understanding Bawang army, the codes were organized into four categories; definitions, reasons, issues, and activities. The terminologies coined by Malaysian netizens, such as Bawang army and ‘mak kau hijau’, shape the identity of this phenomenon. The second research objective is to differentiate the Bawang army’s classifications, determining whether it falls under cyber-bullying or cyber- aggression. In-depth discussions were analyzed based on previous literature using the constant-comparative method. Several implications were observed. Firstly, industry practitioners need to exercise greater consideration when creating social media content. Secondly, future research should further investigate the distinct typologies of cyber-bullying and cyber-aggression autonomously.
Factors Influencing Consumers’ Attitudes and Intentions Towards Online Shopping – A Survey of a Sample of Consumers in Algeria
Authors: Alit Nassira , Mazouzi Driss
Published: November 2023

Continuous technological development has changed consumers’ online purchasing behaviours. In developing countries, online retailers face challenges as they try to promote e-commerce and convince people to shop online. To achieve this, these merchants must strive to understand these behaviours and adapt to them. So, it is appropriate for us as researchers to study the factors that achieve this. This study aims to identify the factors affecting Algerian consumers’ intention to shop online while considering attitude as a mediating variable.We conducted a survey in Algeria with 293 individuals. We used the convenience sampling method. We analyzed the data using structural equation modelling. The study found that privacy, website design, and attitudes affect people’s intentions to shop online. This study showed the indirect effect of shopping convenience on online purchase intentions mediated by attitudes.The study also confirmed partial mediating roles of attitudes of consumers between (shopping convenience, perceived privacy, website design) and online purchase intention. The study found that the Time-saving factor does not affect attitudes or intentions to purchase online.The current study provides retailers and marketers insight into developing e-business strategies to increase online purchase intentions. Therefore, online retailers need to understand consumers’ intentions and attitudes toward online shopping, analyze the factors influencing them, and seek to change these factors to convince consumers and motivate them to buy.

Authors: KOÇAK Aynur , HARMANCI Meriç
Published: November 2023

Toplumların tarihi süreçleri takip edildiğinde ritüellerin çok önemli bir yer tuttuğu, toplumsal değer olarak günümüze kadar gelen birçok uygulamanın ritüel kökenli olduğu görülür. Kentli kurumsallaşma süreçlerinin oluşturduğu resmiyetlere rağmen geleneksel törenler yerini korumuş ve yeni inançların içerisinde yaşamayı sürdürmüştür. Daha çok mitik dönemlerin etkisi ile çeşitlenen bu etkinlikler dinsel bir kaygıdan ziyade gizemli bir büyü, kutlu bir adak veya uğurlu bir hediye gibi düşünülebilir. Bugün sınırlarını henüz tam olarak belirleyemediğimiz fütüvvet yolu da İslam dini ile tanışan çok kültürlü toplumların yüzlerce yıl yaşattıkları geleneklerini buluşturan bir maneviyat alanı olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu geleneklerden biri, şerbet olarak da anılan tuzlu su içme ritüelidir. Varlıklar, nesneler ve eylemler, kavramsal karşılıkları yanında simgesel anlamlar ve sembolik çağrışımlar taşırlar. Sembolik anlamların gizemini çözmek, görünenin ötesine ulaşabilmeyi sağladığı gibi anlamlandırma ve somutlama yapmaya da yardım eder. Mitolojik metinlerden itibaren karşımıza çıkan kutsal su ve kutsal suyu içme ritüelleri fütüvvet geleneğinde şerbet/tuzlu su içme şeklinde yaşatılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, fütüvvetnamelerde geçen tuzlu su içme ritüelinin kökeni, uygulaması, su ve tuzun sembolik anlamalarını tespit etmektir. Yapılan incelemelerde mitik dönemlerden itibaren taşıdıkları sembolik anlamlarla tüm toplumların vazgeçilmezi olan su ve tuzun birleşimi olan şerbetin fütüvvet intisap ve icazet törenlerinde de pek çok açıdan önemli işlevler yüklendiği görülmüştür.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in cancer therapeutics: exploring their potential and safety profile
Authors: Biswal Soumya Prakash
Published: November 2023

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline materials known for their distinctive properties like high porosity, an extensive surface area, and ability to encase molecules, making them attractive candidates for cancer therapy drug delivery. Metal ions or clusters connected with organic ligands form these frameworks, creating an ideal structure for transporting and selectively releasing drugs to target sites (particularly cancer cells) while sparing healthy tissues. Recent research has investigated MOFs as potential aids for improving cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and early cancer detection. However, before transitioning MOFs into clinical settings, assessing their in vivo toxicity and biocompatibility is essential. Studies conducted on living organisms provide important insight into how MOFs behave within biological systems, offering valuable data regarding their safety and efficacy as drug carriers. Although MOFs offer tremendous promise, their use requires careful evaluation due to potential toxicity issues, targeting cancer cells directly, and physiological conditions stability issues that must be overcome through extensive research and clinical trials. Research being undertaken today seeks to address these challenges and optimize MOFs for clinical application - creating more effective and precise cancer therapies. As we continue to understand MOFs’ capabilities and address their limitations, these unique structures represent hope in cancer therapeutics, potentially revolutionizing treatment methodologies and improving patient outcomes in this fight against cancer.

Parte da constatação de que com o Plano Real o País experimentou elevado crescimento e mostra suas causas. Estima modelos econométricos simples e de equações simultâneas, para explicar o crescimento dessa na taxa de inadimplência com base em dados de 1991 a 1997, em análise comparativa entre o Nordeste e o Brasil. Os resultados demonstraram para o Brasil, ao contrário do Nordeste, que a inadimplência é fortemente dependente tanto de facilidades de renegociação quanto do mercado financeiro através de especulações do crédito rural concedido. Embora o efeito preço seja relevante, o efeito taxa de juros se sobrepõe, especialmente em períodos de estabilização.

A AGRICULTURA FAMILIAR E O DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL: PROBLEMAS CONCEITUAIS E METODOLÓGICOS NO CONTEXTO HISTÓRICO DA AMAZÔNIA
Authors: Hurtienne Thomas
Published: November 2023

Explicita a evolução do modelo do ciclo de fronteira para a consolidação de uma tendência à agricultura familiar em base de sistemas de produção mais complexos que incluem culturas permanentes, e pequena criação de gado. Essa tendência foi detectada mais claramente no nordeste paraense, mas comprovada estatisticamente para o Estado do Pará e região Norte. Demonstra que a tese do ciclo de fronteira tem uma validez limitada, sobretudo nas regiões de colonização mais antiga. Contudo, mostra sistemas de produção que se baseiam mais fortemente na pecuária no sul do Pará e nas culturas permanentes na Transamazônica que fogem da classificação simplificada como agricultura itinerante, mas implicam trajetórias diferentes do nordeste paraense.
THE EFFICIENT MARKET HYPOTHESIS AND THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF SUGAR FUTURE PRICES
Authors: Lima Ricardo Chaves , Ohashi Alberto
Published: November 2023

Examina a hipótese de eficiência de mercado estimando um modelo de séries temporais com coeficientes que variam no tempo. Utiliza o método do Filtro de Kalman para um modelo auto-regressivo e de média móvel (ARMA) com erros modelados com heteroscedasticidade condicional auto-regressiva generalizada (GARCH). O modelo foi estimado pelo método da máxima verossimilhança para os retornos dos preços futuros do açúcar. As variáveis de maior ordem de defasagem foram as que mostraram a maior queda em valor absoluto no tempo, o que pode sugerir que variáveis com maior ordem de defasagem perdem peso no tempo à medida que os mercados tornam-se mais eficientes.

Published: November 2023

Analisa os fatores que determinaram a localização de novos investimentos industriais no Estado do Ceará, diante das novas estratégias de desenvolvimento industrial surgidas ao final da década de 80, decorrentes das mudanças ocorridas nas políticas de desenvolvimento industrial nos âmbitos nacional, regional e estadual. O estudo é elaborado a partir da pesquisa realizada junto às empresas industriais instaladas no estado do Ceará no período de 1991 a 1995. Seus resultados levam a algumas conclusões: a significação do aumento da capacidade de financiamento do estado, em face da importância demonstrada pelas empresas quanto à existência de incentivos estaduais e de infra-estrutura; a expressiva participação do capital local nos novos investimentos proporcionando o fortalecimento dos setores tradicionais mais integrados ao mercado regional. Todavia, o crescimento da indústria cearense leva a perspectiva de influência de forças aglomerativas, pelo fato demais da metade dos novos estabelecimentos estarem concentrados nas Áreas de Desenvolvimento Regional (ADRs) próximas à Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza.
ESFORÇO FISCAL E CARGA TRIBUTÁRIA POTENCIAL DOS ESTADOS DO NORDESTE
Authors: Marinho Emerson Luís Lemos , Moreira Aldemir Freire
Published: November 2023

Neste artigo, estima-se o esforço fiscal e, em seguida, calcula -se a capacidade tributária potencial por tipo de tributo dos estados do Nordeste. Utilizando-se destes conceitos, objetiva-se fornecer proposta e instrumental para a nova reforma tributária do governo, no sentido de que a repartição da receita tributária, via transferências, seja realizada com base no esforço fiscal de cada estado. Aproveita-se a oportunidade e discute-se, também, o paradigma de que não existe mais espaço para aumento da carga tributária. Uma outra hipótese testada é a de que as transferências do governo federal para os estados do Nordeste faz com que estes se tornem ineficientes na arrecadação de seus impostos. O modelo empregado para a estimação do esforço fiscal é o da Função de Produção de Fronteira Estocástica. Neste sentido, especificam-se as funções de arrecadação e a ineficiência técnica de cada um dos tributos estadual e federal e, através do programa Frontier 4.1, estimam-se estas funções.

Published: November 2023

Parte de uma idéia simples, segundo a qual não há propriamente uma crise do federalismo no Brasil, senão a ausência histórica de evidências quanto à solidez e articulação dos princípios básicos do federalismo. Para demonstrar essa idéia, o trabalho parte da tese de que o federalismo, enquanto sistema, deve conter quatro princípios básicos para funcionar e para existir enquanto tal: autonomia, cooperação, equilíbrio estrutural e coordenação. Para cumprir essa demonstração, o trabalho define o conceito de cada um desses princípios e mobiliza esses conceitos para analisar o sistema federal brasileiro. Conclui que o referido sistema sofre de uma forte carência de solidez e articulação entre aqueles quatro princípios básicos.

Estuda uma moderna técnica de gestão conhecida como “Supply Chain Management” (SCM). Tal técnica consiste em que as empresas componentes de uma cadeia produtiva unam-se em alianças estratégicas na busca de redução de custos logísticos e de níveis de estoques. A análise desta abrange dois enfoques teóricos: a) teoria da regulação; b) estrutura-conduta-desempenho, com as contribuições neoschumpterianas. Busca responder a dois questionamentos sobre os impactos da adoção do SCM na organização industrial: a técnica em questão tornar-se-á padrão entre as empresas? Os padrões de concorrência podem ser afetados pela introdução desta técnica? Conclui que ambas as teorias prescindem de uma explicação completa do “Supply Chain Management”.
QUATRO DÉCADAS DE CRESCIMENTO ECONÔMICO NO CENTRO-OESTE BRASILEIRO: RECURSOS PÚBLICOS EM AÇÃO

Published: November 2023

Mostra que o crescimento econômico ocorrido na região Centro-Oeste nos anos de 1960 a 1996 foi muito mais elevado que o das demais regiões brasileiras, exceto a região Norte, no mesmo período, e evidencia através da mensuração dos investimentos públicos e das despesas em bens e serviços na região que o papel do setor público tem sido de fundamental importância na explicação do alto desempenho do PIB per capita. Na verdade, em vários dos anos para os quais os dados foram passíveis de elaboração, a participação do Governo na economia tem ultrapassado os 50% do PIB regional, o que tem beneficiado esta região muito mais que as demais macrorregiões brasileiras – na forma de uma forte trajetória de expansão do seu PIB per capita – como resultado do alto grau de comprometimento de recursos públicos para criação e manutenção de demanda agregada.

Published: November 2023

This paper analyses the real and financial determinants of private pension markets. A preliminary exam of a set of variables representing demand, the stock market and the financial market indicated that income per capita and volatility of the stok market are the main forces influencing pension market size. Regression analyses confirms formally this preliminary funding and shows that the former has a direct relation with pension market size whilst the later displays an inverse relation. Moreover, the elasticity of income per capita is about one third of the elasticity of volatility, implying that a steady growth of income combined with stability of the stok market is the perfect environment to the development of pension market.

gardes-malades. Cet événement d’ampleur, encore peu étudié, fut pourtant central dans la
construction de l’identité professionnelle des gardes-malades canadiennes-françaises. Ces
dernières, qui s’étaient d’abord vues exclues de l’organisation de la manifestation, alors
même qu’elles devaient en être in fine les principales hôtesses, se mobilisèrent en
effet de manière inédite pour affirmer leur indignation et par là même l’unité linguistique
et le poids politique de leur corps professionnel. C’est à cette occasion, et par le biais
d’un vécu émotionnel partagé, que se fit réellement jour la communauté des gardes-malades

La construction d’une communauté émotionnelle et nationale dans la presse louisianaise francophone pendant la Guerre civile américaine
Authors: Parcq Camille
Published: November 2023

Fondé sur un corpus de journaux francophones louisianais pendant la Guerre civile américaine, cet article aborde le rôle joué par la presse dans le projet national confédéré au travers des émotions qu’elle mobilise. Dans un territoire en voie d’américanisation mais encore fortement soumis à l’influence médiatique européenne, les journaux francophones mettent en avant des affects enthousiastes envers le nouvel état sudiste tout en jouant un rôle émotionnel prescriptif important. Si la réception et l’intériorisation de ces émotions par le lectorat reste à mesurer, ces titres de presse illustrent une tentative de formation d’une communauté émotionnelle au service d’un projet politique.
Les filles mineures devant la Cour de bien-être social de Chicoutimi (1963‑1977)

Cet article propose d’observer les mineurs présumés « exposés à des dangers moraux ou physiques » qui ont comparu devant la Cour de bien-être social de Chicoutimi entre 1963 et 1977. On constate que les motifs qui justifient de faire comparaître les mineurs devant la cour sont grandement modulés par le genre des accusés. Cependant, si les garçons et les filles sont appelés au tribunal pour des motifs différents, il apparaît qu’au final la volonté de les « protéger » affiche des allures similaires.
L’expérience primitive du voyage ferroviaire au Québec
Authors: Gagnon Alex
Published: November 2023

L’histoire ferroviaire du Québec demeure mal connue. Destinés au grand public quand ils n’émanent pas de la recherche anglophone, dominés d’ailleurs par l’histoire économique et politique, la plupart des travaux sur les chemins de fer québécois (et canadiens) disent très peu de choses de la vie ferroviaire complexe du 19e siècle. En adoptant les perspectives d’une histoire sociale et culturelle, cet article reconstitue l’univers physique, social et sensoriel des gares et des wagons de l’époque « primitive » du chemin de fer québécois, le deuxième tiers du 19e siècle étant marqué par son apparition, son implantation et ses premières appropriations par les populations locales.

Parmi les stratégies d’intervention visant à promouvoir la santé mentale des enfants et des adolescents, les sports organisés sont parfois au coeur des programmes psychoéducatifs (Rioux et al., 2017). Toutefois, les sports organisés n’ont pas tous les mêmes effets sur la santé mentale des jeunes. Certains processus sociaux pourraient expliquer ces liens différenciés. Les objectifs du présent article sont de faire l’état des connaissances en ce qui concerne la distinction entre les sports d’équipe et les sports individuels et leurs liens avec les problèmes intériorisés, et de proposer des processus sociaux qui pourraient être en jeu dans ces expériences sportives. Une connaissance accrue des retombées psychosociales des différents sports organisés chez les jeunes est essentielle pour bonifier l’approche psychoéducative basée sur le sport. Des recommandations pour les psychoéducateurs seront formulées sur la base des résultats des récentes études scientifiques afin d’amener des pistes de solutions pour répondre à des défis bien présents dans leur pratique lorsqu’ils utilisent le sport comme moyen d’intervention.

Au Québec, plusieurs écoles doivent composer avec les défis d’adaptation et d’intégration que présentent bon nombre de leurs élèves. C’est le cas notamment des écoles en milieux défavorisés desservant une forte proportion d’élèves issus de l’immigration, dont certains présentent des difficultés scolaires, émotionnelles et/ou comportementales. Bien que le parcours de ces élèves soit généralement marqué par une forte résilience et d’importantes réussites, certains jeunes sont plus à risque de maintenir des difficultés d’adaptation à plus long terme. Afin d’assurer le développement positif de ces jeunes, les activités parascolaires musicales constituent une intervention préventive de choix susceptible de s’ajouter aux ressources déjà présentes dans l’école. Elles permettent dans certains cas de limiter l’apparition des difficultés d’adaptation, encouragent le développement des compétences personnelles et sociales et contribuent au sentiment d’appartenance des élèves à l’école. Pour que ces bénéfices s’actualisent, il est toutefois crucial de comprendre les conditions optimales selon lesquelles les activités parascolaires doivent être déployées, en plus d’identifier les éléments et mécanismes essentiels du programme qui en expliquent les effets. En réponse à ces objectifs, la présente étude qualitative s’intéresse à l’évaluation de la mise en oeuvre du programme d’activités parascolaires musical La Classe Enchantée, implanté auprès d’élèves d’une école primaire en milieu défavorisé et pluriethnique, dont certains présentant des difficultés scolaires, émotionnelles et/ou comportementales. Des observations, des entrevues et des groupes de discussion ont été réalisés auprès de différents acteurs impliqués (élèves, enseignants et équipe de direction de la CE). Basés sur le modèle de la Structure d’ensemble de Gendreau (2001) ainsi que sur le Modèle systémique d’évaluation de la mise en oeuvre de Domitrovich et al. (2008), les résultats mettent en lumière les éléments et les mécanismes essentiels du programme, ainsi que les facteurs qui facilitent ou qui, au contraire, font obstacle à la mise en oeuvre de ce type d’initiative.
Déploiement et contribution des relations sociales au sein d’un programme parascolaire artistique conçu pour des jeunes vivant avec des difficultés socio-émotionnelles
Authors: Perez Rocio Macabena , Archambault Kim , Dupéré Véronique
Published: November 2023

Les activités parascolaires sont reconnues comme un contexte privilégié pour développer des relations sociales de qualité avec les pairs et les adultes. Toutefois, la façon dont ces relations se déploient et contribuent au développement positif des jeunes demeure méconnue, particulièrement chez ceux et celles présentant des difficultés socio-émotionnelles. Cette étude vise donc à examiner le déploiement des relations avec les pairs et les adultes au sein d’un programme parascolaire artistique spécialement conçu pour des jeunes vivant avec des difficultés socio-émotionnelles ainsi que l’influence du vécu relationnel sur l’expérience de participation et les effets perçus. Dix-huit participantes et participants au programme ont rempli des questionnaires auto-rapportés à quatre temps de mesure et ont participé à des entrevues semi-dirigées à la fin du programme. Les résultats quantitatifs indiquent que, globalement, les participantes et les participants ont perçu positivement les relations entre les pairs et les adultes, ainsi que le climat relationnel au sein du programme, et que cette perception s’est améliorée significativement en cours de session. L’analyse thématique des propos des jeunes a permis de décrire plus richement le vécu relationnel en cours de programme et sa contribution à l’expérience de participation ainsi qu’au bien-être et au fonctionnement des jeunes. Des pistes pour concevoir des programmes qui favorisent le développement de relations sociales positives sont évoquées.
Représenter la vieillesse au-delà du miroir : Nicole Houde, Les oiseaux de Saint-John Perse
Authors: Harvey Cynthia
Published: November 2023

Dans son oeuvre, couronné de plusieurs prix littéraires, l’écrivaine saguenéenne Nicole Houde s’intéresse au « monde marginal des laissés-pour-compte ». Ainsi, dans son roman Les oiseaux de Saint-John Perse (Prix du Gouverneur général 1995), elle met en scène un couple de personnes âgées qui habite un appartement à Montréal, mais qui doit bientôt déménager dans un « manoir de l’âge d’or ». Dans l’espace réduit de leur appartement, préférable à l’exil dans un foyer, un autre personnage agit comme témoin privilégié de l’existence du couple, l’auxiliaire familiale, Josée. Cet article cherche à approfondir les liens qui unissent les trois personnages, ainsi que leur rapport à l’espace, intérieur et extérieur. En plus de permettre le maintien à domicile, Josée représente une ouverture sur le reste du monde, une complice, un espoir. Dans le huis clos du couple, elle agit comme spectatrice, comme gardienne de la mémoire défaillante, comme possible figure salvatrice. Cet article vise à rappeler l’importance des liens qui aident à traverser les vicissitudes de l’existence. Ces figures de vieillards n’ont pas pris une ride; elles rêvent de voyages, d’amour et de liberté. Leur quête de bonheur et de reconnaissance interpelle le lecteur, comme un auxiliaire.
Une vieillesse en fleur : les rides du vivant chez Ananda Devi
Authors: Termite Marinella
Published: November 2023

Parmi tous les dérapages de l’existence qui produisent exclusion et exclusivité à la fois, la vieillesse constitue une manière paradoxale de sillonner le vivant pour en mettre à l’épreuve la capacité dynamique de régénération et de recréation. C’est ainsi que le reflux d’humanité qui agite l’imaginaire des marginaux typiques de l’écrivaine mauricienne Ananda Devi, s’appuie sur des personnages capables d’interagir avec leur âge, sans en faire un accessoire immobile de la narration mais plutôt une ressource à explorer. Dans ce contexte de déstabilisation des points de vue, Les jours vivants (Gallimard, 2013) explore, de manière singulière, comment la vieillesse peut remodeler la vie – et devenir une forme de résistance – en s’appuyant sur « l’énergie primaire et primordiale qu’est la nature » (p. 180), notamment par le biais du végétal qui, d’après notre hypothèse, capturerait le désir d’exister au-delà des contraintes du « dernier âge ».
NGO-isation, Local Faith Actors and ‘Legitimate’ Humanitarian Action in South Sudan
Authors: Tomalin Emma , Wilkinson Olivia
Published: November 2023

This paper explores findings from research carried out alongside a humanitarian
project called ‘Bridging the Gap (BtG): The Role of Local Faith Actors in
Humanitarian Response in South Sudan’. BtG aimed to better understand the
barriers that stand in the way of engagement between local faith actors (LFAs)
and international humanitarians (IHs) and to introduce learning opportunities
(e.g. training and workshops) to address these. We share perspectives from the
LFAs who participated in this ‘localisation’ project about what it
means to become ‘legitimate’ humanitarian actors that are
recognised and trusted by the international system and why this is important for
them, as well as what BtG tells us about the legitimacy of the international
humanitarian system from the point of view of LFAs and LFAs’ legitimacy
in the eyes of their local communities. We also reflect upon the ways in which
the processes of NGO-isation and professionalisation that accompany this journey
to become ‘legitimate’, can compromise and undervalue the very
qualities that local actors are presumed to possess. This does not indicate the
failure of the localisation agenda, but that bold action is needed to make
localisation more inclusive in ways that might challenge some areas of
humanitarian orthodoxy.

Editorial: La gestión de la responsabilidad social en las organizaciones
Authors: Corrons August
Published: November 2023

Han pasado siete décadas desde que se hiciera la primera mención explícita al término responsabilidad social. Fue en 1953 cuando Howard Bowen, en Social Responsibility of a Businessman, utilizó por primera vez este término para referirse a la «toma de decisiones acorde con los objetivos y los valores de la sociedad». No obstante, no fue hasta hace aproximadamente veinticinco años cuando la responsabilidad social despertó una gran preocupación entre los organismos públicos como consecuencia de las problemáticas sociales, económicas y medioambientales causadas por las prácticas voluntarias y los códigos de conducta del momento. Desde entonces han surgido iniciativas internacionales y nacionales, así como instrumentos legislativos para la responsabilidad social. Y, a su vez, esta ha ido convergiendo hacia la sostenibilidad y el desarrollo sostenible, lo cual es del todo relevante para vincularla con el medio y largo plazo y con los grupos de interés. Todo ello ha acelerado la integración de la sostenibilidad y la responsabilidad social en la gestión de las organizaciones, con un incremento del compromiso y nivel de implicación que ha ido más allá de las obligaciones legales por la aparición de un marco autorregulador.
