Fiona J. Griffiths, Nuns’ Priests’ Tales: Men and Salvation in Medieval Women’s Monastic Life. The Middle Ages Series. Philadelphia, PA: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018, pp. 360, 29 illus.
Authors: Martin Therese
Published: December 2020

The year 2018 saw the publication of two important monographs, each with groundbreaking scholarship on complementary aspects of monasticism; together they offer a clear path forward for Medieval Studies as a whole. While Fiona Griffiths’s Nuns’ Priests’ Tales and Steven
Vanderputten’s Dark Age Nunneries approach the essentially interrelated natures of men’s and women’s medieval monasticism from different perspectives, it is by reading them in concert that one becomes aware of the paradigm shift they signal. In a welcome change from a traditional
consideration of so-called “double” monasteries as neither fish nor fowl, Griffiths and Vanderputten offer a feast of evidence for the multiple levels of interactions between the genders—including priests and nuns, students and teachers, patrons, family members, and rulers,
as well as the conventionally understood mixed religious communities of monks and nuns—at majority female monasteries in Western Christendom from the early through central Middle Ages. Vanderputten starts at the beginning of the ninth century and carries his investigation forward to
the mid-eleventh, at which point Griffiths launches her study, moving the matter on from the late eleventh century into the early thirteenth.
Transkulturalität und Translation: Deutsche Literatur des Mittelalter im europäischen Kontext. Hrsg. von Ingrid Kasten und Laura Auteri. Berlin und Boston: Walter de Gruyter, 2017, XI, 352 S.

Die zwei für den Titel gewählten Begriffe spiegeln wieder, worum es in der jüngsten mediävistischen Forschung global geht, so mühsam die Arbeit daran auch sein mag. Kein literarischer Text, kein Kunstwerk etc. ist einfach in einem Vakuum entstanden, und wir
sind aus der heutigen Einsicht heraus, dass wir ja alle mehr oder weniger in einem transkulturellen Gewebe leben, dazu aufgefordert, die Mediävistik genau in diese Richtung zu treiben, um die globale Ausrichtung bereits im Mittelalter adäquat wahrzunehmen (vgl. dazu jetzt Romedio
Schmitz-Esser, “The Buddha and the Medieval West,”. Travel, Time, and Space, hrsg. A. Classen, 2018). Das vorliegende Buch ist im De Gruyter Verlag erschienen, wo auch das Journal of Transcultural Medieval Studies veröffentlicht wird; es gibt also viele Überlappungen.
Hinweisen muss ich auch auf East Meets West in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Times: Transcultural Experiences in the Premodern World, ed. Albrecht Classen, 2013; siehe dazu A. Classen, “Transcultural Experiences in the Late Middle Ages: The German Literary Discourse on the
Mediterranean World – Mirrors, Reflections, and Responses,”Humanities Open Access 2015, 4(4), 676–701; doi:10.3390/h4040676. Keine dieser Veröffentlichungen wurden im vorliegenden Band auch nur registriert, und es scheint fast, als ob im Zeitalter der Internationalisierung
weiterhin tiefe Gräben zwischen der deutschen und der außerdeutschen Mediävistik bestehen. Überblickt man die in den jeweiligen Bibliographien aufgelistete Literatur, macht sich diese gegenseitige Unkenntnis ganz penetrant bemerkbar, und dies, obwohl doch gerade der Verlag
De Gruyter intensiv darum bemüht ist, im Kampf gegen dieses Desiderat in die Bresche zu springen (siehe dazu die ganze Reihe ‘Fundamentals of Medieval and Early Modern Culture’).

Authors: Duque Adriano
Published: December 2020

The role of Mary in the Middle Ages has often been discussed in the context of theological or even social interpretations. A new collection of essays edited by Paul Bretel, Michel Adroher, and Aymat Catafau draws from that same tradition. But while most studies have specialized in certain
aspects of the Marian tradition, this book proposes an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses both literary and artistic analysis. Relying heavily on works like Kathy M. Krauses’s Gautier de Coinci: miracles, Music and Manustripts (Turnhout: Brepols,
2006), La vierge dans les arts et les littératures du Moyen Age offers a multifaceted approach that proposes in turn new perspectives of studies on the role of Mary in the literature and art of the Middle Ages. Perhaps significantly, the authors have decided to include all the
illustrations of the book in the middle section, offering at the same time a new examination of the works in a novel, unprecedented way. The different indexes (persons, authors, works, themes) speak also to the interdependence of all the articles and the value of this collection.

Mit wahrer Freude nimmt man dieses Nachschlagewerk in die Hand, in dem, wie der Titel besagt, literarische Orte in der deutschen Literatur des Mittelalters identifiziert und analysiert werden. Eine parallele Arbeit, die auch die außerdeutsche Literatur einbeziehen würde,
sucht man vergeblich, und man kann nur hoffen, dass diese Publikation Vorbildfunktion einnehmen wird. Es geht eigentlich ganz schlicht um bedeutungsvolle Orte, an denen besondere Ereignisse stattfinden und die daher motivgeschichtlich unserer Aufmerksamkeit bedürfen.

Dies ist die von Andrew Griebeler durchgeführte Übersetzung des deutschen Titels Ecce fides. Die Statue in Conques, Götzendienst und Bildkultur im Westen, die 2007 erstmals erschien. Wie der Übersetzer bereits in seinem Vorwort bemerkt, stellt diese Übersetzung
zwar keinen neuen Forschungsstand her, doch entstand die Übersetzung in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Beate Fricke, so dass ein neuer, der englischen Sprache angepasster Text entstand. Für den deutschsprachigen Leser ergibt sich damit kein erheblicher Vorteil, ist das Original doch nicht
nur in der eigenen Muttersprache erhältlich, sondern mittlerweile auch digital vollständig zugänglich (einsehbar unter: https://digi20.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/fs1/object/display/bsb00066171_00001.html);
aber der englischsprachige Leser wird gerne auf dieses neue Angebot zurückgreifen, das eine wichtige kunsthistorische Arbeit zugänglich macht, die über den engeren Fall der berühmten Statue der Heiligen Fides von Conques hinaus auf die Bedeutung der skulpturalen Darstellung
in der westlichen Kunst des Hochmittelalters eingeht.
Matthew X. Vernon, The Black Middle Ages: Race and Construction of the Middle Ages. The New Middle Ages. Cham, Switzerland: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018, xiii, 266 pp.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: December 2020

When I agreed to review this book, I had not paid enough attention to the subtitle, which reveals that the author is primarily concerned with the issue of Medievalism. In essence, Vernon is examining how Black or African American medievalists and writers have viewed the Middle Ages
and what the study of the medieval world might mean for the struggle of Black Americans against racism and colonialism today. He argues that the examination of the Middle Ages mattered deeply for those intellectuals because many issues in that past are still mirrored in the present. This could
be of relevance especially for those who are interested in the history of scholarship and the particular approach to that period from a specific ethnic perspective. Of course, then we would also need books about Asian American medievalists, Hispanic American medievalists, etc., which seems
to be valid in political terms, but does not really do justice to the subject matter. At any rate, I cannot examine and evaluate the major portion of this book because it falls into the category of modern Medievalism.

Authors: Berman Constance Hoffman
Published: December 2020

This volume contributes to our understanding of the liturgical and mental world of the early Cistercian monks and to the oral and aural community associated with early Cîteaux. Its title may be a misnomer for it is not about “Reform” per se or
really about the art of the book (in the sense used by most specialists on the medieval book), but about the early liturgical practices at the new monastery that came to be called Cîteaux and about illustrations or illuminations of a limited number of manuscript volumes produced at Citeaux
and preserved in the Dijon municipal library.

Досліджено шляхи підвищення ефективності механізованих технологічних процесів збирання усього обсягу біологічного врожаю конопель та льону завдяки використанню стрічкових накопичувачів.Запропоновано спосіб формування валка конопле стеблової маси на стрічку і волочіння її разом з валком до краю поля, що уможливлює суттєве підвищення ефективності механізованих процесів збирання і подальшого перероблення усього біологічного врожаю конопель, льону та інших культур.Розроблено сукупність змістів основних варіантів (розгалужень) систем технологій збирання усього біологічного врожаю конопле стеблової маси на стрічкові накопичувачі, якими враховано технічні, технологічні та економічні передумови реалізації основних технологічних oпeрацій, властивих відповідним технологіям.Запропоновано спосіб формування на стерні валків із заданою масою стебел на одному погонному метрі. Суть способу полягає в тому, що скошену конопле стеблову масу укладають у вигляді валка на стрічку, яку відпускають зі швидкістю меншою швидкості руху жнивного агрегату. Завдяки цьому уможливлюється накопичення на незначній частині поля по кінцях гону усього обсягу врожаю конопле стеблової маси.Запропоновано якісно новий технологічний процес, у якому не молотарка (комбайн) із засобами її технологічного обслуговування переміщується по полю з метою завантаження конопле стебловою масою, а конопле стеблова маса у вигляді валка подається до молотарку. Завдяки реалізації відміченого технологічного процесу уможливлюється операції обмолочування насіннєвої частини врожаю, обрізання листя від стебел, формування стебел з метою їх подальшої переробки у тресту здійснювати напівстаціонарними комплексами машин на краю поля.

Published: December 2020

Дослідження присвячені розробці енергозберігаючої екологічноощадної технології Streep-Till вирощування картоплі на поверхні поля під шаром мульчі (соломи).Традиційна технологія вирощування картоплі потребує значних енергетичних витрат, пов’язаних з використанням сільськогосподарської техніки. Несприятливі погодні умови останніх років суттєво знизили врожайність і товарність цієї культури.Під час виконання технологічних операцій сучасні машинно-тракторні агрегати переущільнюють ґрунт, погіршують водно-повітряний баланс, що знижує його родючість. Сучасні промислові технології передбачають широке застосування пестицидів при вирощуванні картоплі. Крім того, зміна кліматичних умов в останні роки привели до підвищення температур повітря і ґрунту в період вегетації рослин. Перелічені фактори негативно впливають на врожайність та товарність картоплі. Розроблена екологічноощадна технологія Streep-Till механізованого вирощування картоплі включає розкладання посадочного матеріалу картоплі на поверхню поля і накривання усієї площі поля, включаючи міжряддя, шаром мульчі (соломи) і виключає міжрядний обробіток ґрунту під час вегетації. Збирання врожаю картоплі спрощується і полягає лише у підбиранні бульб картоплі з поверхні поля картоплезбиральними машинами.Запропонована технологія забезпечує оптимальний температурний режим для формування урожаю картоплі, мінімізує вплив техніки на ґрунт, застосування пестицидів і зменшує енерговитрати.

У технологіях вирощування сільськогосподарських культур найбільші резерви енергозбереження та підвищення продуктивності сільськогосподарських культур мають способи обробітку ґрунту. Сучасні тенденції сільськогосподарського виробництва потребують обґрунтування, запровадження і використання раціональних сучасних ґрунтообробних знарядь та вдосконалення існуючих технологічних процесів обробітку ґрунту.Проаналізовано останні дослідження та публікації напрямків підвищення ефективності обробітку ґрунту під сільськогосподарські культури та використання технічних засобів для їх реалізації в умовах чорноземних ґрунтів України.Проведено наукові дослідження показників роботи польового культиватора «FLORIN» при поверхневому обробітку грунту під зернові культури у виробничих умовах, при яких ресурси будуть використовуватися найбільш ефективно. Процес обґрунтування показників роботи польового культиватора «FLORIN» проводився за рахунок вибору більш раціонального і ефективного складу та режимів роботи машинних агрегатів для поверхневого обробітку грунту під зернові культури у виробничих умовах.В статті наведені аналітичні результати дослідження та обгрунтування показників роботи польового культиватора «FLORIN» для виробничих умов в технологіях вирощування сільськогосподарських культур.При дослідженнях, які проводились відповідно до розробленої методики, визначались показники показників роботи польового культиватора «FLORIN».Ефективність використання польового культиватора «FLORIN» при передпосівному обробітку грунту під зернові культури для для виробничих умов залежить від правильного вибору показників роботи та підбору енергетичного засобу для грунтообробного агрегату.Вибір оптимального діапазону робочих швидкостей для польового культиватора «FLORIN» при обробітку грунту під зернові культури у виробничих умовах дає можливість підвищити показники використання машинних агрегатів, а також скоротити витрати ресурсів на виконання технологічних процесів при виробництві сільськогосподарської продукції.Правильність вибору режимів роботи грунтообробних машинних агрегатів даного виду та раціонального діапазону робочих швидкостей для польового культиватора «FLORIN» залежить від врахування виробничих умов.
Embryonic Development and Adult Regeneration of the Adrenal Gland
Authors: Kim Ji-Hoon , Choi Man Ho
Published: December 2020

The adrenal gland plays a pivotal role in an organism’s health span by controlling the endocrine system. Decades of research on the adrenal gland have provided multiscale insights into the development and maintenance of this essential organ. A particularly interesting finding is that founder stem/progenitor cells participate in adrenocortical development and enable the adult adrenal cortex to regenerate itself in response to hormonal stress and injury. Since major advances have been made in understanding the dynamics of the developmental process and the remarkable regenerative capacity of the adrenal gland, understanding the mechanisms underlying adrenal development, maintenance, and regeneration will be of interest to basic and clinical researchers. Here, we introduce the developmental processes of the adrenal gland and discuss current knowledge regarding stem/progenitor cells that regulate adrenal cortex remodeling and regeneration. This review will provide insights into the fascinating ongoing research on the development and regeneration of the adrenal cortex.
In Vivo and In Vitro Quantification of Glucose Kinetics: From Bedside to Bench
Authors: Kim Il-Young , Park Sanghee , Kim Yeongmin , Chang Yewon , Choi Cheol Soo , Suh Sang-Hoon , Wolfe Robert R.
Published: December 2020

Like other substrates, plasma glucose is in a dynamic state of constant turnover (i.e., rates of glucose appearance [Ra glucose] into and disappearance [Rd glucose] from the plasma) while staying within a narrow range of normal concentrations, a physiological priority. Persistent imbalance of glucose turnover leads to elevations (i.e., hyperglycemia, Ra>Rd) or falls (i.e., hypoglycemia, Ra<Rd) in the pool size, leading to clinical conditions such as diabetes. Endogenous Ra glucose is divided into hepatic glucose production via glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis (GNG) and renal GNG. On the other hand, Rd glucose, the summed rate of glucose uptake by tissues/organs, involves various intracellular metabolic pathways including glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and oxidation at varying rates depending on the metabolic status. Despite the dynamic nature of glucose metabolism, metabolic studies typically rely on measurements of static, snapshot information such as the abundance of mRNAs and proteins and (in)activation of implicated signaling networks without determining actual flux rates. In this review, we will discuss the importance of obtaining kinetic information, basic principles of stable isotope tracer methodology, calculations of in vivo glucose kinetics, and assessments of metabolic flux in experimental models in vivo and in vitro.

Published: December 2020

Background: Evidence regarding the association between variabilities in obesity measures and health outcomes is limited. We aimed to examine the association between variabilities in obesity measures and cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality.Methods: We identified 4,244,460 individuals who underwent health examination conducted by the Korean National Health Insurance Service during 2012, with ≥3 anthropometric measurements between 2009 and 2012. Variabilities in body weight (BW) and waist circumference (WC) were assessed using four indices including variability independent of the mean (VIM). We performed multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses.Results: During follow-up of 4.4 years, 16,095, 18,957, and 30,200 cases of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and all-cause mortality were recorded. Compared to individuals with the lowest quartiles, incrementally higher risks of study outcomes and those of stroke and all-cause mortality were observed among individuals in higher quartiles of VIM for BW and VIM for WC, respectively. The multivariable adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals comparing the highest versus lowest quartile groups of VIM for BW were 1.17 (1.12 to 1.22) for MI, 1.20 (1.16 to 1.25) for stroke, and 1.66 (1.60 to 1.71) for all-cause mortality; 1.07 (1.03 to 1.12) for stroke and 1.29 (1.25 to 1.33) for all-cause mortality regarding VIM for WC. These associations were similar with respect to the other indices for variability.Conclusion: This study revealed positive associations between variabilities in BW and WC and cardiovascular outcomes and allcause mortality. Our findings suggest that variabilities in obesity measures are associated with adverse health outcomes in the general population.
Doppler Boosting of the S-stars in the Galactic Center
Authors: Rafikov Roman R.
Published: December 2020

Astrometry and spectroscopy of the S-stars in the Galactic Center provide a unique way to probe the properties of the central supermassive black hole, as well as the post-Newtonian effects caused by its gravity, e.g., gravitational redshift and general relativistic precession. It has also been suggested that the photometry of S-stars can be used for studying the properties of the gaseous environment of Sgr A*. Due to the high velocities of the S-stars, sometimes approaching 0.1c, their photometric signal should be considerably affected by the Doppler boosting. We calculate this relativistic effect for several S-stars closely approaching the central black hole (most of them recently announced) and show that the amplitude of the photometric variability due to the Doppler boosting for some of them (S62 and S4714) exceeds 6%; for the well-studied star S2 it is about 2%. Measurement of the Doppler boosting can confirm the existence and help refine orbital parameters of the S-stars with noisy spectroscopy and astrometry. This effect should be explicitly accounted for when the photometry of S-stars is used for probing the medium around the Sgr A*. We discuss the observability of the Doppler boosting given the complications typical for the Galactic Center and conclude, in particular, that the purely photometric detection of the higher-order relativistic corrections to the Doppler-boosting signal (due to the gravitational redshift and transverse Doppler shift, which we also calculate) is hardly possible for the S-stars.
Exploring the relationship between journal indexing and article processing charges of journals published by MDPI, the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Authors: Okagbue Hilary , Teixeira da Silva Jaime , Anake Timothy
Published: December 2020

The Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) is a prominent open access (OA) publisher that uses article processing charges (APCs) as its business model. Our objective was to determine the association between the APCs levied by MDPI journals and 1) their inclusion in Scopus and Web of Science databases or 2) their stature, as represented by their CiteScore (Elsevier’s Scopus) and Impact Factor (awarded by Clarivate Analytics). Among the 227 journals published by MDPI, 51 had both IF and CiteScore; 107, only a CiteScore; and 84, neither IF nor CiteScore. The charges levied by the journals varied widely, from 0 to CHF 2000 (Swiss francs), the most frequent figure (159 journals) being CHF 1000, or about €930. The amount of APCs was found to be correlated to IF (R² = 0.64; p <0.001; 107 journals) and also to CiteScore (R² = 0.619; p <0.001; 53 journals). The charges levied by journals that had both IF and CiteScore were significantly higher than those charged by journals with neither IF nor CiteScore (p <0.05). The charges were also correlated to the age of the journal: the more recently launched journals charged less than the older journals did.
Conception et matérialité dans la production numérique contemporaine : perspective historique et pratiques émergentes
Authors: Lallemand Ianis
Published: December 2020

Cet article se propose d’examiner sous une perspective historique certains aspects des relations entre conception et matérialité dans le champ de la production matérielle numérique. Cette démarche permet de relier les fondements techniques et conceptuels des outils numériques contemporains à l’essor d’une pensée géométrique et représentationnelle de la conception, introduite à la Renaissance avec le projet architectural moderne. À partir d’une analyse du tournant numérique opéré dans l’industrie au cours de la seconde moitié du XX e siècle, l’article défend ainsi l’idée selon laquelle la conception numérique dérive d’un projet d’absorption de la matérialité dans des enjeux de représentation, paradoxale au regard du rapprochement avec la matière que semblent favoriser les flux de travail contemporains – ce qu’exprime par exemple l’idée d’« artisanat numérique ». La dernière partie de l’article propose une introduction à une série de pratiques contemporaines en design et architecture, signalant un possible tournant vers une approche non plus représentationnelle, mais performative des technologies numériques.
El ocaso del concepto de Prensa del Sureste en España a partir del caso de estudio del diario La Verdad
Authors: González-Esteban José Luis
Published: December 2020

Le concept de Prensa del Sureste (espagnol) entretenait une relation directe avec le journal La Verdad depuis un demi-siècle. Cet article aborde la montée, le développement et le déclin de ce concept associé à ce cas spécifique. La stratégie interrégionale de La Verdad a commencé dans les années soixante du siècle dernier, avec l'expansion de la Maison d'édition catholique (Edica), alors propriétaire du journal basé à Murcie, dans la province voisine d'Alicante, qui a ouvert successivement des bureaux à Alicante capitale, Elche et Orihuela (Vega Baja). Les intérêts socio-économiques communs ont conseillé de promouvoir cette expansion dans les décennies suivantes, qui s'est consolidée avec l'ouverture de la délégation d'Albacete. Depuis plus de 40 ans, avec différentes entreprises et sous des conjonctures politiques diverses, La Verdad s'est révélé comme le journal du Sud-Est espagnol. La crise économique internationale qui a débuté en 2008, combinée à la crise du secteur de la presse écrite, a conduit les dirigeants du groupe Vocento à repenser la stratégie et le modèle économique de ce journal avec la suppression des éditions de La Verdad à Albacete (2013) et, progressivement, celles d'Alicante-Elche-Vega Baja (2017). Ainsi, le périodique a concentré son activité sur le siège central de Murcie, ville qui y a vu naître le journal vers 1903. Sur la base d’une méthodologie descriptive fondée sur une large révision bibliographie, des entretiens approfondis et notre observation personnelle au sein de ce périodique, cet article met en évidence la nouvelle réalité et la situation de la presse écrite dans cette région de l'Espagne qui, comme dans l'ensemble du pays, a subi une transformation vertigineuse en raison de la baisse progressive du lectorat et des revenus publicitaires.
El Precursor de Andrés Borrego: un altavoz del liberalismo español en la Francia de 1830
Authors: Loyola López David
Published: December 2020

Les espoirs de retour en Espagne de l’émigration libérale renaissent après la Révolution de Juillet de 1830. Le triomphe du libéralisme en France a favorisé l’installation de nombreux émigrés à la frontière pyrénéenne, dans l’intention de préparer une incursion militaire destinée à vaincre l’absolutisme de Ferdinand VII. La cause libérale ne reposait pas seulement sur la lutte armée. Les relations diplomatiques et l’opinion publique ont également été des éléments essentiels pour tenter d’obtenir le soutien nécessaire à la réussite de cette entreprise. Le journal El Precursor de Andrés Borrego, publié à Paris au cours des derniers mois de 1830, y contribue par ses pages. L’objectif de ce travail de recherche est d’analyser les différentes approches politiques, perspectives et nouvelles qui apparaissent dans cette publication et leur relation avec l’idéologie d’Andrés Borrego lui-même, le contexte politique du moment et la situation interne de l’exil libéral.
Les débuts de la révolte catalane de 1640 au miroir du Mercure François
Authors: Cerdeira Virginie
Published: December 2020

La Catalogne se sépare de l’Espagne en 1640, initiant ainsi une guerre de plusieurs années entre les deux territoires. Cette sécession se fait dans le contexte plus général de l’affrontement des royaumes de France et d’Espagne, en guerre ouverte depuis 1635. Elle donne lieu à la contraction d’une alliance entre la France et la Catalogne en 1640. Cette dernière va jusqu’au transfert de souveraineté sur la Catalogne de Philippe IV à Louis XIII. Le Mercure François, recueil périodique fondé à Paris depuis 1611, revient sur les premiers mois de cette crise dans son volume paru en 1646. Il se sert des difficultés espagnoles afin de construire un discours favorable au royaume de France. Ce faisant, il donne à voir un royaume de France plus solide que son adversaire. Il délivre le message de l’importance de la conservation du pacte franco-catalan, à l’heure où celui-ci est remis en question. Le message est aussi celui de la pertinence de la poursuite de la guerre contre une Espagne affaiblie. Le décalage temporel entre les événements et leur publication sert donc, ici, la communication politique du recueil.
Profils et carrières d’élèves ingénieurs
Authors: Joly Hervé
Published: December 2020

Cette étude porte sur le recrutement d’écoles françaises d’« ingénieurs civils », destinés au secteur privé, en 1901, en comparaison notamment avec celui la même année de l’École polytechnique, qui forme en principe des ingénieurs d’État pour des corps civils ou militaires. Sont intégrées l’École centrale des arts et manufactures, les écoles des mines de Paris et de Saint-Étienne, l’École des Ponts et Chaussées, ainsi que deux écoles lyonnaises, l’École centrale et l’École de chimie industrielle.L’article examine successivement la concurrence relative que se font ces écoles dans leur recrutement, les viviers partiellement différents dans lesquels elles puisent, les milieux d’origine plutôt privilégiés des élèves, sans exclusion des couches populaires, la nature des formations plutôt généralistes, avec une dimension appliquée, qu’elles proposent et les carrières très largement industrielles, dans des branches très diverses, que font leurs anciens élèves.

La période qui s’étend des années 1830 aux années 1930 fut celle de l’industrialisation de l’Europe, qui fut longtemps interprétée comme une révolution industrielle dont les machines et les usines auraient condamné l’existence des artisans. Mais nous savons aujourd’hui que l’industrialisation ne fut pas cette révolution. Alors il faut revoir également ce qu’elle a pu faire aux artisans. L’article revient d’abord sur l’évolution de l’historiographie et son renouvellement. Puis une deuxième partie interroge ce qu’étaient le travail des artisans et ses transformations. Enfin, la dernière partie montre comment les artisans parvinrent, ou pas selon les pays, à s’organiser et à obtenir de leur État des institutions représentatives (l’handwerk en Allemagne, l’artisanat en France). L’industrialisation ne fit pas disparaître les artisans d’Europe occidentale mais elle transforma leurs métiers et leurs pratiques.
Predictors of Cardiac Self-Efficacy among Patients Diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease in Tertiary Hospitals in Nepal

Published: December 2020

Background

Cardiac self-efficacy determines how people feel, think, motivate themselves and behave with regards to improving their cardiac health subsequently preventing complications of coronary artery disease (CAD). Given almost one-third of global death is contributed by CAD with 10% of disability adjusted life years lost in low- and middle-income countries (including Nepal), it is important to identify factors that can promote cardiac self-efficacy. There are no studies in Nepal focusing on predictors of self-efficacy. Therefore, we aim to determine the predictors of cardiac self-efficacy of CAD patients in Nepal.

Design and methods

This is a cross-sectional study where we recruited 170 patients (≥30 years) diagnosed with CAD from two tertiary level hospitals. Multiple linear regression model was used to identify the predictors of cardiac self-efficacy.

Results

The mean age of the participants was 60.45±10.39 years (range, 31-83). Most of the participants were diagnosed as myocardial infarction (91.2%), rest with unstable angina (6.5%) and stable angina (2.4%). The multivariate analysis shows age (p<0.001), health behaviors (p<0.001) and knowledge of the disease (p<0.001) were statistically significant predictors to cardiac self-efficacy. Every 1-year increase in age was associated with 0.23 units increase in cardiac self-efficacy score. Similarly, every unit increase in health behavior score and knowledge of disease score was associated with 0.432 units and 0.475 units increase in cardiac self-efficacy score respectively.

Conclusion

Age and health behaviors were the strongest predictors of cardiac self-efficacy followed by knowledge of the disease. We conclude that those with poor health behavior are at a greater risk of poorer cardiac self-efficacy compared to those with relatively good level of self-efficacy. Public health interventions such as awareness raising about cardiac disease and health behavior modification along with early screening, diagnosis and appropriate care are essential to improving self-efficacy and cardiac care outcomes.
Limiting distribution of geodesics in a geometrically finite quotients of regular trees
Authors: Kwon Sanghoon , Lim Seonhee
Published: December 2020

Let

\mathcal T

be a

(q+1)

-regular tree and let

\Gamma

be a geometrically finite discrete subgroup of the group

\operatorname{Aut}(\mathcal T)

of automorphisms of

\mathcal T

. In this article, we prove an extreme value theorem on the distribution of geodesics in a non-compact quotient graph

\Gamma\backslash\mathcal{T}

. Main examples of such graphs are quotients of a Bruhat–Tits tree by non-cocompact discrete subgroups

\Gamma

of

\operatorname{PGL}(2,\mathbf{K})

of a local field

\mathbf{K}

of positive characteristic.

We investigate, for a given time

T

, the measure of the set of

\Gamma

-equivalent classes of geodesics with distance at most

N(T)

from a sufficiently large fixed compact subset

D

of

\Gamma\backslash\mathcal{T}

up to time

T

. We show that there exists a function

N(T)

such that for Bowen–Margulis measure

\mu

on the space

\Gamma\backslash\mathcal{GT}

of geodesics and the critical exponent

\delta

of

\Gamma

,

\lim_{T\to\infty}\mu(\{[l]\in\Gamma\backslash\mathcal{GT}\colon \underset{0\le t \le T}{\textrm{max}}d(D,l(t))\le N(T)+y\})=e^{-q^y/e^{2\delta y}}.

In fact, we obtain a precise formula for

N(T)

: there exists a constant

C

depending on

\Gamma

and

D

such that

N(T)=\log_{e^{2\delta/q}}\Big(\frac{T(e^{2\delta-q)}}{2e^{2\delta}-C(e^{2\delta}-q)}\Big).
A higher moment formula for the Siegel–Veech transform over quotients by Hecke triangle groups
Authors: Fairchild Samantha
Published: December 2020

We compute higher moments of the Siegel–Veech transform over quotients of SL

(2,\mathbb{R})

by the Hecke triangle groups. After fixing a normalization of the Haar measure on SL

(2,\mathbb{R})

we use geometric results and linear algebra to create explicit integration formulas which give information about densities of

k

-tuples of vectors in discrete subsets of

\mathbb{R}^2

which arise as orbits of Hecke triangle groups. This generalizes work of W. Schmidt on the variance of the Siegel transform over SL

Schrödinger trace invariants for homogeneous perturbations of the harmonic oscillator
Authors: Doll Moritz , Zelditch Steve
Published: December 2020

Let

H = H_0 + P

denote the harmonic oscillator on

\mathbb{R}^d

perturbed by an isotropic pseudodifferential operator

P

of order

1

and let

U(t) = \operatorname{exp}(- it H)

. We prove a Gutzwiller–Duistermaat–Guillemin type trace formula for

\operatorname{Tr} U(t).

The singularities occur at times

t \in 2 \pi \mathbb{Z}

and the coefficients involve the dynamics of the Hamilton flow of the symbol

\sigma(P)

on the space

\mathbb{CP}^{d-1}

of harmonic oscillator orbits of energy

1

. This is a novel kind of sub-principal symbol effect on the trace. We generalize the averaging technique of Weinstein and Guillemin to this order of perturbation, and then present two completely different calculations of

\operatorname{Tr} U(t)

. The first proof directly constructs a parametrix of

U(t)

in the isotropic calculus, following earlier work of Doll–Gannot–Wunsch. The second proof conjugates the trace to the Bargmann–Fock setting, the order

1

of the perturbation coincides with the 'central limit scaling' studied by Zelditch–Zhou for Toeplitz operators.

Published: December 2020

In this paper we study an interacting two-particle system on the half-line. We focus on spectral properties of the Hamiltonian for a large class of two-particle potentials. We characterize the essential spectrum and prove, as a main result, the existence of eigenvalues below the bottom of it. We also prove that the discrete spectrum contains only finitely many eigenvalues.

Authors: Muhammad Abdulgaffar
Published: December 2020

The treasury single account model was introduced in the Federal Republic of Nigeria to mitigate financial leakages, promote probity and prevent misappropriation of government revenue and also consolidate government accounts, this is a bid to prevent embezzlement and high handedness by revenue generating agencies. This work examined the performance, bottlenecks and prospects of treasury single account policy in Nigeria. The paper being qualitative as it relies heavily on secondary data. The study was underpinned by the systems theory. The study concluded that the implementation of the treasury single account has blocked financial leakages, promoted probity and accountability to a very large extent in the public financial system. Consequently, the paper suggested for a synergy between the executive and legislature to enforce and ensure compliance to the provisions of the TSA by ministries extra ministerial department and financial institution.
Origin and Socio-cultural Formation of Bihari Identity: A Study on Bihari Community in Bangladesh
Authors: Rahaman Arifur , Uddin A K M Jamal , Md. Shakhawat Hossain
Published: December 2020

Bihari community has been living in Bangladesh since 1947, after being forced to migrate from various regions of India. Owing to religious differences, the Bihari community was expelled for communal riot from their homeland. Subsequently, they moved to their ideological home propagated by two-nation theory. Bangladesh joined Pakistan as federal state after partition which made Muslims of India, including the Biharis, thought that Bangladesh was also their ideological home. Having a distinct language and culture, the Bihari community could not be able to assimilate into the society of Bangladesh. They had to remain stranded and stuck in between two cultures outside of their home. However, they were given citizenship by the Government of Bangladesh, but still the debate of them being ‘others’ still on. This study aims to trace out the origin of the Bihari community in Bangladesh and to find out their current socio-cultural condition. To reveal their socio-cultural condition, this study used qualitative method. Primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews in two Bihari settlements (camps) at Dhaka city. This study suggests that Bihari identity has been very problematic and still debatable. Even after 70 years, many Biharis have retained their distinct socio-cultural practices, while other chose assimilation. Nevertheless, their deplorable condition has been intensified by abject poverty, social exclusion and lack of entitlements to services affecting their socio-cultural condition.
Marka Sınıflandırmasında 35. Sınıf İçeriğinin Perakende Satış Hizmetleri Alt Grubu Açısından Sağladığı Koruma
Authors: TOPCU Deniz
Published: December 2020

Nice sisteminde sınıf içeriklerinin marka koruması üzerindeki etkisi, özellikle hizmet sınıflarının içeriklerinin yoğun olarak tartışılmasını doğurmaktadır. Bir hizmet sınıfı olarak 35.sınıf zaten içeriği somutlaştırılmaya çalışan bir sınıf iken, güncel haliyle 35.05 alt grubunda yer alan “perakende satış hizmetleri” adıyla anılan hizmetlerin içeriği, 2011 yılından sonraki değişikliklerden sonra daha da tartışmalı bir hale dönüşmüştür. Özellikle perakende satış hizmetleri alt grubunun içeriğine yerleştirilen sınıflar, bu konudaki tartışmanın odağını teşkil etmektedir. Bu tartışmada 35.05.alt grubu içerisinde tescil edilmiş mal sınıflarının marka sahibine, başkaları tarafından ana sınıf olarak aynı veya benzer markayla tesciline ya da yine diğer 35.05 alt gruplarında başkalarınca yapılan sınıf yerleştirmelerine müdahale hakkı verip vermediği farklı görüşlerce değerlendirilmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra mal sınıflarında tescilli marka sahiplerinin, 35.05. alt grubunu tescil etmeden, aynı markayla ürün satışı yapıp yapamayacağı da uygulamadaki çatışmalardan birini teşkil etmektedir. Diğer deyişle “perakende satış hizmetleri” kavramının diğer sınıflarla olan sınır çizgisi belirlenmeye çalışılmaktadır. Bu çizginin tespitinde özellikle “perakende  satış hizmetleri”nin anlamı değerlendirilmeye muhtaçtır.
Dynamic Language Use in Bi/Multilingual Early Childhood Education Contexts
Authors: Pontier Ryan W , Destro Boruchowski Ivian , Olivo Lergia I
Published: December 2020

The population of bilingual students learning and using more than one language in the United States has more than doubled in the past 30 years. This is especially true in early childhood, which makes it crucial that educators of young emergent bilingual children understand and support these young children’s bi/multilingual development, including critically understanding the implication of adopting different perspectives of bi/multilingualism. Although much is known about classroom practices in support of emergent bilingual children in Kindergarten and beyond, little is known about those practices in the early years. This article provides a systematic review of relevant empirical studies that investigated teachers’ and children’s dynamic language use in bi/multilingual early childhood education settings. The authors identify several strategic languaging practices enacted by both teachers and children, and strategies for fostering these practices; as well as ways in which teachers leveraged their agency through their languaging practices. Implications for future research, practice, professional development, and policy are discussed.
