Rewriting under Ideological Pressure: A. Fadeyev’s The Young Guard
Authors: Grădinaru Olga
Published: August 2023

The study analyses A. Fadeyev’s novel The Young Guard (1946, 1951), a political command in Stalinist era, inspired by historical events of the Second World War. Although included in the Socialist Realism canon, the novel had a difficult destiny, as it was rewritten under A. Zhdanov’s close assistance after Stalin’s critical reaction to the 1947 film adaptation. The novel may be regarded as a victim of the Soviet myth-making machine and a case of ideological fictionalization, imbued with the main Stalinist motives. The article unveils the tension between the initial creative project inspired by the anti-fascist movement in Krasnodon (1946) and the imposed party direction reflected in the second edition of the novel (1951), which became the official version of the actual events.
Aleš Šteger, Iartă. Măști și carnavaluri
Authors: Grigore Rodica
Published: August 2023

Often considered one of the most interesting young writers of contemporary Slovenia, Aleš Šteger offers his readers a theatrical vision and he discusses from an original perspective the relationship between identity and alterity. All these aspects are obvious in his novel entitled Absolution (Odpusti – 2014), an excellent and challenging text, well received both by the general public and the literary critics. Set in Maribor, the second city of Slovenia, this novel presents the quest of Adam Bely, decided to find the truth hidden behind a very complex system of masks worn by many of its inhabitants, making up „The Great Orc”, a secret organization meant to control the city and the lives of all people there. The game of masks is complicated once more by the theatrical representation described at length in the last part of the novel, an essential fragment of Absolution, the perfect expression of the meanings of masks and carnival abounding in this extraordinary text.
Plateforme de rencontre : Michel Foucault et Michel Houellebecq
Authors: Vieru Gabriela
Published: August 2023

The present text aims to analyse the body concept, as it is illustrated in the novel Platform, by Michel Houellebecq. For this, we will need, first of all, some clarifications of the hybrid literary genre that this novel presents, it constituting the track of our analysis: this new form of autofiction will lead us to the bridges between the novelist and the philosopher Michel Foucault in what regarding the status and power of the body in late postmodernism. Being published in 2001, the novel offers the necessary tracks for such an interpretive analysis, in which certain positions related to sexuality, society and the geopolitical context will be confronted and debated, with a view to confirming or, why not, denying the influence that the French philosopher had, over the years, in the sphere of affirmation of the novelist Michel Houellebecq.
Eminescu-thermosof sau cum intră știința în poezie (I)
Authors: Dumitru Teodora
Published: August 2023

In this essay I show that the picture of universal extinction in the poem Satire I of the Romantic poet Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889) is deeply and rigorously inspired by a theory of thermodynamics of the 1870s, more precisely by the theory of universal “death” launched in the second part of 19th century by physicists William Thomson and Rudolf Clausius. My interpretation addresses competing interpretations, from literary-centric scenarios claiming that Eminescu’s representation of the extinction is inspired by or approaches models of the mythological-Christian tradition or universal literature, to scenarios that also launch hypotheses in the field of science, but other than thermodynamics. I am also interested in producing here, in the alternative, a critique of the thesis – widespread not only in popular culture but also in the most serious academic circles – according to which many of the discoveries of modern and even contemporary science would have been “announced,” “contained,” or “coded” in literary fiction, mythology, religious narratives etc., from ancient times (Indian, Judeo-Christian mythology etc.) to modern authors.
Întoarcere la bătălia pentru roman. Teorii despre roman în spațiul cultural românesc interbelic
Authors: Fărmuș Ioan
Published: August 2023

Even though we might live with the impression that the debates about the (Romanian) novel belong exclusively to the interwar period, in reality they started earlier, somewhere around the second half of the 19th c. Novel theoreticians such as: Radu Ionescu, that, in the preface of the novel Donjuanii din București, inaugurates this type of debates, Titu Maiorescu, the promoter of the „people novel”, or Nicolae Iorga, the critic that started the so-called „battle for the novel”, show us that there was an interest towards this genre in the Romanian cultural space also, a genre that at that moment claimed a hegemonic position. Yet, the First World War will put an abrupt end to these debates related to the Romanian novel, debates that would be reiterated in the interwar period, in another cultural context, of course at another level. Thus, the second part of the article is an attempt to recuperate the atmosphere towards the literary phenomenon after the First world War by focusing on the critical attitudes of the most important cultural voices of the new era, attitudes that vary from hope – generated by the belief that the first major global conflagration regenerated the creative forces of Romanian writers – to doubt – through which, by resorting to a lamentativ tone, critics denounce the absence of real (i.e. artistic) novels from national cultural space.
Italia și negocierile României pentru intrarea în Primul Război Mondial (1914-1915)
Authors: Crețu Victor Daniel , Racovițan Radu
Published: August 2023

Although the relations between the Great Powers expressed the fundamental trends of the evolution of the international situation in the period preceding the First World War, it is still necessary to specify that a significant role in the international life was acquired by some small and medium-sized states which, by their geographical and political position and through the economic and military potential, they could significantly influence the evolution of international political life. In this context, the importance of Romania’s role in international relations can be seen, given the fact that the Great Powers’ interest in the Romanian state had grown considerably. As the crisis of July 1914 worsened, the question of Romania’s attitude towards the Austro-Serbian conflict became of paramount importance in the future strategy of the Central Powers, because all the plans for attack and defense formations of the Triple Alliance were arranged in cooperation with the Romanian army. Since the beginning of the World War, between Romania and Italy there has been an approach desired by politicians from both states. However, the subsequent evolution of events and the separation of Italy from Romania during the negotiations with the Entente had the effect of weakening the supply of forces that a synchronous Italian-Romanian contribution would have brought it. Obviously, the effect would have been different if the two countries entered at once, both in terms of the military blow given to the Central Powers, and also on the attitude of the neutral countries in the Balkans, Bulgaria and Greece.
Religious Knowledge, Mystical Experience and the Personal Mission of Muhyi-d-Din Ibn ‘Arabi
Authors: Dragoman Dragoș , Luca Sabina-Adina
Published: August 2023

The article intends to shed light on the importance of mystical experiences encountered by the Sheik al-Akbar, the great religious theologist Ibn ¢Arabi, the great spiritual leader of Sunni Islam. Following the perfect illumination by the revelation of his own personal mission in Muslim Andalusia, the Sheik al-Akbar started to preach the exoteric lessons of Islam, based on the Quran, Hadith, and Shari¢a. However, he did not limit his knowledge and lessons to exoteric elements, but deeply immersed himself into the metaphysical esoteric truth of the Haqiqa and engaged into the narrow path of Tariqa, the spiritual path leading to realization of the Supreme Truth. By constantly teaching his disciples and by travelling across the Muslim realm, the Sheik al-Akbar reinvigorated and consolidated Sunna, while unravelling the ultimate mystery of divine perfection one can achieve. By the willingness to obey the revelations and to submit his personal will to the Divine injunction, he served the Muslim community and led the path of esoteric and exoteric knowledge and teaching.
Șona-New York-Șona. Povestea emigrării dintr-un sat din Făgăraș
Authors: Mărgărit Diana
Published: August 2023

The massive wave of economic migration of Transylvanians to America in the early 20th century had a considerable impact on the lives of both those who decided to temporarily leave their homeland and those who stayed home. The Transylvanian pattern of emigration, similar to the neighbouring Central and Eastern European countries can be sum up as follows: young male peasants, poorly educated, but with high hopes and determination left for America, for highly demanding physical work, but well enough remunerated in order to allow them to return home relatively soon. This paper seeks to contribute to the rich literature on emigration, by focusing on how this phenomenon influenced the villagers of Șona, a small community in the former Făgăraș County. By analysing photos, artefacts and documents that belonged to the emigrants, the Ellis Island Passenger Search Database, and by conducting interviews with their living descendants, I focus on the personal experience of migration – individual stories of migrants, their relations with their family and the community. Thus, I try to partially recreate some biographies directly connected to the experience of migration.
Rethinking Romanian Literature Collectively: The Inter-imperial Modern Novel
Authors: Ung Snejana
Published: August 2023

The present essay aims at discussing the recent volume Creolizing the Modern: Transylvania across Empires (2022) by Anca Parvulescu and Manuela Boatcă as a significant contribution to the recent attempts at rethinking Romanian literature. In this regard, the examination of the volume is constantly reckoned in dialogue with some of the previously undertaken projects. The dialogic approach highlights two significant aspects, related to both the volume and the context in which it is received. On the one hand, it shows that the theoretical and methodological framework deployed in the volume can constitute the ground for future studies. On the other hand, it draws attention to the fact the rethinking of Romanian literature has been a collective and gradual endeavor.
Karuna and Agape, or Buddhism and Christianity in Kerouac’s 1954-Letter to Robert Lax
Authors: Matiu Ovidiu
Published: August 2023

This paper is an analysis of Jack Kerouac’s 1954-letter to Robert Lax and it emphasizes that the American author’s (temporary) conversion to Buddhism was not a mere reaction against his Christian belief and tradition, but the result of a natural, informed realization of the possibility to accept, to celebrate distinction, to bridge the differences through compassion. The analysis partly mirrors Jack Kerouac’s own etymological method and highlights the differences between his own and the traditional interpretation of the terms karuna and agape. The conclusion is that, even though Kerouac’s understanding of certain religious concepts might sound subjective, it provides the reader with a valuable perspective on the two spiritual traditions which enabled the American author to naturally turn to Buddhism, albeit temporarily; it also facilitates the analysis of his writing.
„Asemenea hoți înfrățiți cu poporul”: inventarea haiducului în cultura românească romantică
Authors: Vătavu Bogdan-Vlad
Published: August 2023

In this paper I examine the discourse on banditry (haiducie) articulated by the romantic elite of 19th century Romania. By relying on the various literary productions of the era, from short stories to memoirs and travel literature, I posit that the image of the noble bandit is rather manufactured by the elite to fit their political agenda, if not actually imported from ready-made west-European bandit models. The reason behind the cosmetic treatment of robbers and highwaymen that the Romanian elites perform in their writings, is the same as that of their western counterparts: noble bandits are easily integrated in the emerging nation-state narrative of the era and are useful as precursors of the political claims of the elite.
Traduire le concept : Réflexions autour de la traduction bulgare de l’essai Le sacré et le profane de Mircea Eliade
Authors: Kristeva Irena , Petrova Zornitsa
Published: August 2023

This article addresses the translation challenges posed by humanities as far as the rendition of conceptual language is concerned. We begin by outlining the characteristics of humanities in contrast to natural sciences and literature, emphasising the primary role of concepts and their function as carriers of explicit and implicit intertextual references. We then proceed by juxtaposing some key concepts used in Mircea Eliade’s essay The Sacred and the Profane with their Bulgarian equivalents proposed by the translator. The analysis aims to illustrate the importance of accuracy in concept translation and the significant changes in meaning that can occur when the original text is adapted to the local audience without regard to the research traditions of the particular field of knowledge to which the source belongs.
Mariana Marin: facerea și desfacerea unui mit. Postura etică (II)
Authors: Farmatu Teona
Published: August 2023

If Mariana Marin’s tragic posture was largely built posthumously by her friends, the ethical one is assumed by the author herself and entitled by a collective ethos in terms of Meizoz. Interdependent, yet with distinct effects, the two categories mentioned – the tragic and the ethical – certify at least two wrong pathways regarding the author’s reception. Firstly, the woman poet becomes a romanticized-heroic fiction. Secondly, the ethical posture, is ambiguous because of a misreading: Mariana Marin’s so-called dissidence – a fake posture that is constructed for her from outside the country (by the two exiled personalities: Monica Lovinescu and Virgil Ierunca, as well as by the American translator Adam J. Sorkin) – versus a social-political engagement, perfectly valid, but which ends up diverting the hermeneutics of the texts towards the univocality of moral strands. So, being a study of the author and tangentially of her poems, I will also discuss the fictionalization of Mariana Marin within some poems by others.
Apuntes sobre la superstición y la recepción de las literaturas clásicas en La Celestina
Authors: Padilla-Carmona Carles
Published: August 2023

La Celestina is influenced by ideological and aesthetic aspects of its time, such as moralising literature, the new lyrical currents coming from Italy and the emergence of new literary genres. However, it is emphasised that the author was directly or indirectly familiar with the main classical authors and uses them to reinforce the didactic and moralising character of the work. Already at the beginning of the Prologue, Heraclitus, Petrarch, Aristotle, Pliny, and Lucan are mentioned in order to highlight how the struggles between masters and slaves, between pleasure and virtue, between the earthly and the heavenly world are the backbone of the play’s plot. In this context, the cultivation of sorcery cannot be absent. In La Celestina, we see techniques of sympathetic magic, such as the nomen omen and the possession of another person’s will through objects. The passage of Celestina’s incantation, as well as the possession of Melibea’s cord, are examples of this. Apuleius’ Metamorphoses may have been a source of inspiration for the author of the Tragicomedy. Along with the techniques of witchcraft, we observe in the work an almost parodic distortion of Christian discourse to justify certain behaviours. Magic and enchantment were considered dangerous and related to the devil and witchcraft, and those accused of practising magic could be persecuted and severely punished. La Celestina is an example of how superstition in a broad sense (magic and religion) is used to give an irrational explanation to phenomena, such as Calisto’s amorous obsession.
Poezia energiei scăzute. O lectură (peri)termodinamică a interpretării lui G. Bacovia via E. Lovinescu (II)
Authors: Dumitru Teodora
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this essay is an attempt to map the energetic and (peri)thermodynamic background of theories about poetry from the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, also included in the horizon of interest of Romanian critics. In the present essay, I trace the route by which the literary critic E. Lovinescu arrives at his unique stylistic and conceptual approach to the poetry of G. Bacovia from the article he dedicates to him in 1922 and from the sequence reserved for the same poet in the study Poezia nouă (1923), both capitalized, further, in his literary histories. It is about the interpretation or even the definition of Bacovian poetry as an “expression” of “a neurosis,” as a “poetry” of “(deeply animalistic) kinesthesia,” as an “almost direct expression” of a “sick kinesthesia” or, even more abruptly, as “secretion of a sick organism, as moisture is the tear of damp walls.”
În arhiva lui: Eliade (I)
Authors: Ciurtin Eugen
Published: August 2023

The present series offers an anthology of excerpts from all types of Mircea Eliade’s writings, either unpublished or published as journals, reminiscences, memoirs, articles, essays, and shorter pieces, which may as a whole describe his own production and continual re/use of personal manuscripts. There is at present no systematic inquiry into the nature, form, quantity, and scope of his lost Bucharest archive. The rather large amount of Eliade Bucharest manuscripts sold through auctions since 2017 has already lethally interfered with the integrity of Eliade’s archive, as he bid farewell in August 1942 and the subsequent material owners offered after Eliade’s death no public catalogue or minimal listing of identified manuscripts, no indices, and almost no proper clues regarding its very size. Meanwhile, some manuscripts from this archive were sold directly by Eliade estates to public institutions in Romania (1986-1989) or sold directly to two public libraries in Bucharest by the sole material owner (and for his own personal benefit), in March-December 1989. Eliade’s published and especially unpublished manuscripts auctioned since 2017 are extraordinarily diverse, and only a part have been rescued by public institutions (17 manuscripts by the Library of the Romanian Academy in 2021, 67 manuscripts by the donors of the Institute for the History of Religions of the Romanian Academy in 2002, and several others at present under critical scrutiny, in 2023 and by the donors of the same Institute). All these manuscripts are only a fragment from the full archive Eliade left for good in Bucharest in 1942. Synoptic re-reading may thus help indeed improve our knowledge of that very archive, its content being a source of endless litigious intervention. The series complements ECCE | The Complete Critical Edition of Mircea Eliade’s Scholarly Works before 1945, under the aegis of the Institute for the History of Religions, as well as MEUM | Mircea Eliade’s Unpublished Manuscripts from Private Collections, published by Eugen Ciurtin and Andreea Apostu in Transilvania 51 [155] (2023), no. 1, pp. 1-22 (Critical edition), no. 2, pp. 1-16 (Concordances A-E), and no. 3, pp. 1-16, with forthcoming instalments in 2023.
Bogdan-Alexandru Stănescu. De la apelativul memoriei la emergența maximalistă
Authors: Cîrcu Alexandra
Published: August 2023

This paper aims at analyzing the connection between the contemporary Romanian literature and world literature through the emergence of maximalist novel embodied in Bogdan-Alexandru Stănescu’s novel, Abraxas. The author belongs to the 2000 generation, a generation which has neglected the postmodern maximalist approach. Therefore, I intend to analyze the emergence of maximalism in Bogdan-Alexandru Stănescu’s novel by indicating the tension it generated in regards with the previous minimalist formula and by observing the connection of literature with the socio-economic context of the 2000’s.

Contribution of Indigenous Knowledge to Agricultural Growth in South Africa: A Case of Disaneng Community in the Ratlou Local Municipality
Authors: Ekobi Gabriel , Mboh Lovelyne , Tanga Pius
Published: August 2023

Indigenous knowledge is the cornerstone of the society’s agricultural growth; however, its documentation and dissemination remain big challenges. This paper explores the contribution of indigenous knowledge to agricultural growth in the Disaneng community. A qualitative research approach was employed in the study. Twenty participants took part in the study and semi-structured and unstructured interview guides were utilized to collect data from participants. The thematic approach was used to analyze results and five themes emerged during the study. Key themes that emerged include weather patterns, land preparation, seed selection, soil fertility, and stockpiling. The findings revealed that locals are endowed with indigenous knowledge (IK) on land preparation, seed selection, stockpiling, and soil fertility, and this promotes agricultural growth. The study concludes that IK acts as a vehicle for enhancing agricultural growth. However, challenges such as disregard of IK by some religious beliefs continue to hinder the application of IK for the growth of agriculture. Hence, for IK to continue influencing agricultural growth positively, effective measures should be introduced to mitigate the hindrances.
Matters Concerning Citing in Academic Discourses
Authors: Diko Mlamli
Published: August 2023

There is a bone of disconcertion concerning citing in academia – a disconcertion that tends to denote that “old” citations and/or references do not generate significant and relevant credibility to an author’s academic discourse. This perception about old references then regularises what I view as an imprecise perception that “old” material makes a less consequential impact on the author’s discourse. Similarly, there is a defective assumption that “new” or “latest” citations or references warrant the author’s credibility in academic discourses. It is these conflicting, and yet competing presumptions that I view problematic. Therefore, my question is, should a particular citation be discredited on the basis that it is gauged “old”? However, I am aware that an “old” citation may suggest a researcher’s lack of extensive research or may be dependent on the researcher’s focus of study. However, what if, as old as it is, it remains applicable and contemporaneously significant? What if as old as it is, it can be figured as a point of departure for future scholarly discourses? Personally, this premise of “old” citation(s) leaves an outstanding gap between what is a credible and determinative citation, and how the philosophy of knowledge is generated from such citations.

Published: August 2023

This work aims to verify the effect of access to bank credit on economic growth from an analysis by sector of the Malian economy during the period 1990-2021. Using ARDL (Auto Regressive Distributed Lag) modeling, the results show that access to bank credit has a negative short-term and positive long-term effect on economic growth in Mali. The results of the sector analysis show that bank credit granted to the private sector has a positive effect on the growth of the industrial and services sectors but shows a negative effect on the growth of the agricultural sector. Economic policy makers need to improve access to credit in the agricultural sector.

The province of Esmeraldas, where the research was carried out, is recognized for the quality of its fine aroma cocoa (Theobroma cacao, L.), which is highly sought after internationally, but the regulation for cadmium by the European Union has restricted its commercialization, for Therefore, with the objective of evaluating the presence of cadmium in the soil, leaves and almonds, to establish its mobility and absorption by the plant, 51 farms from the Eloy Alfaro, Muisne and Atacames cantons were sampled that have cocoa crops of more than 5 years of age, applying a zig zag sampling, the lowest average values of cadmium in the soil were found in Colón Eloy (0.064 ppm.Kg-1), while the highest were obtained in the soils of Muisne and Atacames (0.147 and 0.145 ppm.Kg-1 respectively); in the leaves, the data were 6.96 and 11.50 ppm.Kg-1 for these locations, respectively. In cocoa beans, both in Colón Eloy, Muisne and Atacames, they were high (1.09; 1.99 and 2.08 ppm.Kg-1, respectively) with respect to the maximum limits of Cd, established by the European Union (0.10 to 0.80 μg .kg-1). It is concluded that the analyzed samples yielded values greater than 0.1 ppm.Kg-1 considered contaminants, due to the fact that Cd, due to its mobility, is easily absorbed by cocoa plants, which is reflected in its content in the leaves and fruits, for Therefore, remedial measures must be applied to help producers recover their commercialization in the world.

Abstract. Earth radiation budget (ERB) satellite observations
require conversion of the measured radiance, which is a remotely sensed
quantity, to a derived irradiance, which is the relevant energy balance
quantity routinely used in modeling and analysis of the climate system. The state-of-the-art approach for radiance-to-irradiance conversion taken by the
Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) benefits from the
exhaustive sampling of radiance anisotropy by multiple CERES instruments
across many years. Unfortunately, the CERES approach is not easily extended
to new ERB spectral channels that lack previous sampling, such as the
“split-shortwave” planned to be part of the next-generation ERB mission
Libera. As an alternative approach, the capability of a monochromatic,
wide-field-of-view camera to provide dense angular sampling in a much
shorter time frame is assessed. We present a general concept for how this can be achieved and quantify the proficiency of a camera to provide rapid
angular distribution model (ADM) generation for the new Libera
ultraviolet and visible (VIS) sub-band. A single mid-visible camera
wavelength (555 nm) is shown to be ideal for representing the VIS sub-band,
requiring only basic scene stratification for 555 nm to VIS conversion.
Synthetic camera sampling with realistic operating constraints also
demonstrates that the angular radiance field of various scenes can be well
populated within a single day of sampling, a notable advance over existing
approaches. These results provide a path for generating
observationally based VIS ADMs with minimal lag time following Libera's
launch. Coupled with efforts to utilize a camera for scene identification,
this may also pave the way for future ERB satellite systems to develop
stand-alone irradiance products for arbitrary sets of spectral channels,
opening up new measurement and science possibilities.
Characterizing Spatial Accessibility of COVID-19 Testing and Vaccination Sites using Dasymetric Mapping and GIS

Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic accentuated existing health disparities in the U.S., inflicting staggeringly disproportionate rates of exposure, infection and death among racial and ethnic minority populations. Early evidence in 2020 had suggested that testing locations were not equitably accessible to racial/ethnic minority populations, and thus, increased the likelihood of unnoticed virus spread in minority communities. Additionally, racial/ethnic minority populations have been less likely to be vaccinated for COVID-19 as of February 2021, when vaccination had just started rolling out. In this study, we use Intelligent Dasymetric Mapping (IDM) and GIS Service Area analysis to examine spatial access to testing and vaccination sites in the Denver metropolitan area in January 2021, when testing and vaccination access was limited and competitive. Our results indicate that the racial/ethnic composition in total service areas with short walking- or driving-travel times was similar to the expected racial/ethnic composition of the Denver metro area, with minority populations slightly overrepresented in the total service areas. To ensure equitable vaccination and testing in minority communities in the future, in addition to ensuring spatial access, policymakers and health officials should increase community outreach, establish trust, and lower potential costs. Our study demonstrates the value of IDM in studying public health access.

Abstract. When people are injured or lost in mountains during outdoor activities and when web-based locations are not available, they locate themselves by describing their environment, routes and activities. The description of their location is done using landmarks and spatial locations (e.g., “I am located in front of Punay Lake”, “I am near a protected area”). Landmarks used can be named (e.g., “Punay Lake”) or unnamed if the landmark has no name or if the victim does not know it (e.g., "area lake"). Landmarks are represented in geographic databases by name (if possible), type and geometry. To reduce the heterogeneity of landmark types present in oral language and geographic databases representing landmarks, and thus improve locating victims, our goal is to define a controlled vocabulary for landmarks. In this research, we present a lightweight ontology (i.e. ontology having generally less complexity and does not express formal constraints) of landmarks, named Landmark Ontology (OOR), describing landmark types. It is an application ontology, i.e. it is designed to support mountain rescue operations. The ontology construction is adapted from the SAMOD methodology for engineering ontology development and involves researchers and experts from mountain rescue teams. The construction of OOR is composed of four main phases: knowledge acquisition, conceptual formalisation, implementation, and testing. The implementation phase is carried out by an iterative and collaborative approach and using four formalised sources of knowledge (a landmark and a landform ontologies, and two other domain vocabularies), an un-formalised taxonomy of outdoor activities, and five authoritative and volunteered geographic information sources representing geographic data. The landmarks ontology contains 543 classes associated with 1739 labels: 1086 prefLabel (preferential label) in French and English, 321 altLabel (alternative label) in French, and 332 altLabel in English. The depth of the ontology varies from four for land cover, hydrological and land subdivision landmark types), to six for landform types, and eight for building types. Although the use of ontology is broader, in this paper we illustrate and test its use through three applications in the context of mountain rescue operations: semantic mapping, data instantiation and data matching.
Mapping the intensity of ward-level barriers to youth’s participation in local development planning in Gauteng province, South Africa
Authors: Cheruiyot Koech , Katumba Samy
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Acknowledging that barriers to youth’s lack of participation in local development planning – using the case of ward committee (WC) meetings – in Gauteng province varies over space, the paper investigates the intensity of these barriers across the province. The paper employs a geographically weighted regression (GWR) approach that allowed for localized spatial modelling. The GWR results showed that the percentage of employed youth, average household income, percentage of youth who have never interacted with the government, percentage of youth dissatisfied with the local government, and youth’s average education level were barriers to participation in WC meetings. Mapping of these barriers showed their intensity, where these covariates are singly or cumulatively barriers to participation in WC meetings. Overall, the results illustrate the need for the formulation of appropriate spatially targeted policies for necessary implementations.
Innovative solution for relief printing without limiting heights
Authors: Lecordix François
Published: August 2023

Abstract. By following technological developments in 3D printing, IGN experimented in 2015 with an ink jet-based relief printing solution, proposed by the Océ company. The first result was presented at the International Cartographic Conference in Rio de Janeiro in 2015, for the Belle-Ile map. The proposed technology solved several essential needs for relief mapping: high printing resolution, large size, colorimetric respect, ... But it still faced two problems: still high printing costs for the general public (compared to the prices of thermoformed maps produced in multiple copies) and still limited printing heights (less than 2–3 cm). In 2022, IGN proposed an innovative solution to overcome the problem of limiting printing heights, without increasing production costs. The new solution combines the previous ink jet relief printing technology with the Stratoconception® technology existing in the 3D printing domain. The solution is presented in detail in this paper with an example result.
