Definitions of the Concept ’Habitus’, and its Uses in Three Swedish Literary Studies

This article details a number of the various definitions of the concept of ’habitus’ and explores how the concept has been utilised in the analysis of authors and literature.

Habitus is one of the key concepts of the theory of fields put forward by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Bourdieu has offered several more or less complex explanations of ’ habitus’, and scholars who have used the term have developed new interpretations and understand the concept in a number of varied ways. Therefore, it is my aim to offer and discuss various definitions in order to endow the concept with clarity. To this end, the following questions are of central interest to this study: how is ’habitus’ defined? In which contexts is it used? What do scholars strive to grasp by using the concept?

After discussing the various definitions, I take a closer look at Les règles de l’art (1992) in order to see how Bourdieu employs the concept. I also study the use of ’habitus’ in three Swedish literary sociological studies, Eric Peurell’s A Writer’s Trajectory. Jan Fridegård in the Literary Field (1998), Petra Söderlund’s Romanticism and Reason. V.F. Palmblad’s Publishing House 1810‒1830 (2000) and David Gedin’s Masters of the Field. The Development of a Modern Writer’s Identity. 1880s (2004).

My study shows that there is a sliding scale of understandings of the concept with no single common uniting feature and no general consensus of the absolute, necessary element of ’ habitus’. The most complex definitions of the concept are too complicated to be used in analysis, while the more simple definitions are only partly able to grasp the phenomena Bourdieu strives to unite in the concept of ’habitus’. I argue that ’habitus’ is most useful in the analysis of hidden class structures in society, understood then as ’embodied class’.

Peritextual Borderlands: La querelle des femmes and the Early Modern Book Market

The article investigates the roles played by printers, publishers and book traders in la querelle des femmes, the literary debate about women that took place in Europe in the early modern period. I discuss what Gerard Genette calls the peritext, as a section of the printed book where the interests of authors, printers, publishers and traders intersect. After discussing the English Swetnam controversy of 1615-1617 from the perspective of the literary market, I turn to the French poet Louise Labé and her work OEuvres, which was printed by Jean de Tournes in Lyon in 1555. In analysing three peritexts in OEuvres – the title page, the royal privelege and a laudatory poem by another, anonymous poet – it becomes clear that these peritexts carry messages on many different levels. They can be read as commercial, political and personal messages, making them highly complex aspects of the book. In conclusion, I argue that the organisation of the early modern book market is an important and heretofore largely neglected aspect of la querelle des femmes, and that the commercial logic of this book market in certain cases seems to work to support la querelle des femmes and women authors.

Published: November 2022

Drought is a severe causal factor of reduced crop yields than other abiotic stresses. Therefore, four sorghum genotypes underwent evaluation for their drought tolerance under three irrigation levels (100%, 70%, and 40% from evapotranspiration) under three sowing dates at the Higher Institute for Agricultural Cooperation Farm, Regwa region, Alexandria Desert Road, Egypt, to study the mean performance of grain yield plant-1 and transcriptomic analysis. The performance results reported that Shandaweel-6 and Hybrid-306 revealed the highest drought-tolerant hybrids, while Dorado and Giza-113 cultivars showed the lowest. The transcriptomic profiling of sorghum under normal and drought stress used the RNA-Seq method. Two differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) in leaves respond to drought. In the DREB2 case, the greatest average fold change showed 10.7 and 9.3 for the tolerant hybrids, Hybrid-306 and Shandaweel-6, respectively. Both genotypes performed significantly higher than the average fold change calculated for the sensitive genotypes Dorado and Giza-113 cultivars. This study contributes to a better understanding of the molecular basis of drought tolerance of sorghum and promotes sorghum improvement.

Authors: Posma Sariguna Johnson Kennedy
Published: November 2022

Food security is closely related to health, one aspect of well-being and the main focus of human development. Efforts to avoid food insecurity are experienced in areas with natural conditions and relatively little rainfall, such as the Nusa Tenggara Timur Province, especially in the Malaka Regency, the border area of Indonesia-Timor Leste. This community service activity aims to deepen understanding of Malaka Regency has food security by looking at the Malaka Agricultural Revolution Program (RPM), the policy to increase community economic productivity. We are writing this activity with a descriptive method using a simple qualitative approach. Data sources come from various literature and discussions with the government (Bupati) and the people of Malaka Regency. The RPM program positively impacts agronomic performance (rice, corn, and shallots) so that it can increase productivity, agricultural production, income and community welfare. However, there are still factors that hinder the implementation of the RPM Program, including internal factors (knowledge, skills and attitudes of farmers in dealing with changes brought about by the RPM program) and external factors (climate, availability of fertilizers, technology, etc).

Solar energy is a renewable energy source that is abundantly available in Indonesia. One way to utilize solar energy is to convert it into electrical energy using photovoltaic modules or solar panels, which are called solar power plants (PLTS). The construction of PLTS can accelerate the electrification ratio and reduce fossil materials. In this study, the author will design a 100 Wp solar power plant (PLTS) using a 1000watt inverter, while the research uses the Research and Development method, with stages covering system analysis, design, implementation and testing. The manufacture of PLTS is done by identifying components such as solar panels, DC wattmeter, SCC (Solar Charge Controller), battery, 1 Phase MCB, and AC Wattmeter. It can be concluded that to obtain electrical energy, weather conditions greatly affect the working system of solar panels. The maximum voltage from a 100wp solar panel that was designed and tested for 3 days in the worst month conditions was produced on the second and third days with a voltage value of 17.08 Volts at 12:00 noon and a minimum voltage was generated on the second day of testing, namely with a voltage value of 12.00 Volts at 12.00 Volts. 07:00 am. Furthermore, the 100 wp solar panel can only produce a maximum power of 256.01watt which was obtained on the second day of testing with an average voltage and current obtained of 14.19volt and 1.58 Ampere. The condition of the battery takes 5.47 hours or 328 minutes to fully charge energy to 100%. To maximize power gain and get the intensity of sunlight throughout the morning to evening, the use of the Single Axis solar tracker system is very effective.

Sarolangun Regency is a district that has the potential for gold metal mineral natural resources. This potential causes many illegal gold mining activities (PETI) in the area. It is also suspected that PETI activities can cause environmental damage and pollution in the activity area and downstream from the PETI location. Environmental pollution that occurs is caused by the disposal of gold processing waste (tailings) into water bodies and groundwater. Waste generated from gold mining activities mainly contains mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb). The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of heavy metal pollutants (Hg and Pb) using the contamination factor (CF), the pollutant load index (PLI), and the geoaccumulation index (I_geo) on former PETI in Sarolangun Regency. The sampling technique was carried out by a purposive sampling technique and the sample taken was soil. Heavy metal concentration data will be calculated using the CF, I_geo, and PLI index formulas.  Hg concentrations were 0.86 mg/kg, 0.77 mg/kg, and 0.80 mg/kg in three sampling areas, and lead concentrations were 0.51 mg/kg, 0.54 mg/kg, and 0.53 mg/kg. Based on the analysis of CF calculations and I_geo, Hg(mercury) has more potential to become a pollutant at the study site (CF>6), (2<I_geo<3). On the other hand, the study site was not polluted by lead based on the CF value and geoaccumulation index. The overall PLI calculation of Hg and Pb stated that the research location was not included in the polluted category with a PLI value <1.

An endeavor has been made to report the herbal synthesis of chromium oxide (Cr2O3) nanoparticles using aqueous extract of nigella sativa seed extract as a capping agent and chromic sulphateas a precursor material. The structural, morphological and optical properties of the Cr2O3 nanoparticles were analyzed by X - ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV- Visible spectroscopy. The antibacterial efficacy of chromium oxide nanoparticles was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The photocatalytic activity of biosynthesized Cr2O3 nanoparticles was evaluated by degrading methylene blue dye and Congo red dye under the irradiation of visible light. Apart from this, ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity were measured for different concentrations of Cr2O3 nanofluid using ultrasonic techniques. Thermoacoustical such as adiabatic compressibility, free length, acoustic impedance, relaxation time and absorption coefficient values are computed from the measured data and the results are interpreted in terms of particle - fluid interactions.

Essential oil-bearing medicinal and aromatic plant Pelargonium graveolense is commonly known as rose-scented geranium because of its characteristic rose like smell. Its essential oil possesses medicinal properties such as insect repellent properties and also used in fragrance and food industry. Its demand is very high because of the above use in India and the worldwide market. This experiment is designed to develop an agro technique method for large scale production of geranium plantlets (cultivar CIM-Pawan) at field conditions using simple stem cutting method at North Indian field conditions in Uttar Pradesh, India. And also introduce a new method of intercropping cultivation of geranium in Brinjal (Solanum melongena) that is developed. This experiment was designed in such a manner to developed thousand plantlets from one year old a single mother plants. As we know near about 30,000 stem cuttings are required for planting an area of one hectare land. So focusing on large demands of plantlets developed an agro technique that is able to fulfil the requirements. The crops were raised using one month olds plantlets transplanting, viz. with intercropping in Brinjal. After harvesting oil was extracted by hydro-distillation using Clevenger apparatus and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). The Citronellol/Geraniol ratio (C: G), quality determining factor was found to 1.23. The GC and GC-MS analysis results indicated that the essential oil components, quality and quantity were significant. The major constituents of the essential oil were Citronellol (29.81%), Geraniol (24.23%), Linalool (3.12%), Iso-menthone (4.09%), Citronellyl formate (7.51%), Geranyl formate (6.07%), and 10-epi-γ-eudesmol (2.70%).

How do Small Island Developing States Meet the Sustainable Development Goals?
Authors: Hillbom Ellen , Palacio Andres , Tegunimataka Anna
Published: November 2022

States in the Global South are facing a double challenge of achieving socio-economic development while adapting to climate change impacts. This study maps to what extent Small Island Developing States (SIDS) manage to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SIDS are at the front line of climate change and while they share numerous challenges, the SIDS are also a heterogeneous group containing a great variation in terms of economic development, institutional structures, and factor endowments. This paper complements the existing broader international evaluation of SDG outcomes by highlighting SIDS specifically, a group that has been only sporadically covered in the literature. By improving our understanding of different SIDS’s development status and challenges we hope both to make the group more visible in the global debate and to contribute useful knowledge to the ongoing development work in and between the SIDS themselves. We compare the SIDS development performance, defined as meeting the SDGs, to a Global Average (GA), in the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social, and environmental. Our investigation confirms that the SIDS are overrepresented among the countries in the world with the poorest data coverage and shows the magnitude of the problem. Further, in our global comparison, we find that they stand out in three aspects – having relatively low levels of poverty, high levels of adult obesity, and low levels of gender equality especially manifested in the share of women in parliament.

Die atmosphärische Stickstoff-Deposition hat bis Mitte der 1990er-Jahre zugenommen und ist seither rückläufig. Eine genauere Betrachtung zeigt, dass der Verlauf regional unterschiedlich ist je nach orografischer Lage und Nähe zu Ammoniak-Quellen. Die Nitratauswaschung aus den Waldböden ist ein Indikator für die Sättigung des Waldbodens mit Stickstoff und zeigt das Risiko einer Versauerung des Waldbodens an. Dazu kommt, dass zu viel Nitrat im Grund- und Trinkwasser für Mensch und Tier eine gesundheitliche Bedrohung darstellt.

Authors: Pillay Shalini , Ramasamy Suganthi , Yen Yuen Yee
Published: November 2022

This research examines the impact of market risk premium, size, book-to-market equity, profitability, and investment as risk factors on stock return. Portfolios are formed to develop the left-hand side and right-hand side portfolios. The objective of this paper is to assess the performance of the equity market and to enhance the generalizability of the five-factor model. A statistical analysis is applied to estimate the asset pricing model to assess their performance in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) equity market. The researchers found that there were value premiums in the average stock returns in all the countries except Malaysia. Traces of profitability premium can be observed in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. However, there was no evidence of investment premiums in any of the countries. The study examines whether the asset pricing models capture the value, profitability and investment patterns in the capital market. The five-factor model performs better than the three-factor model in explaining the average excess returns of the size–BM (book-to-market) and size–profitability portfolios. However, the five-factor model fares poorly in explaining the average excess returns of the size–investment portfolios.
The Long-Term Performance of Capital Expenditure from a Fundamental Perspective: Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Kwistianus Hendri , Juniarti
Published: November 2022

This study aims to identify the effect of capital expenditure on the long-term performance on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Fundamental measurements were used as the internal perspective of performance; This study also tries to fill the gap due to the lack of studies that discuss capital expenditure in Indonesia by providing empirical evidence regarding capital expenditure in the context of Indonesia's stock market. Capital expenditure is represented by the growth of fixed assets for the current period. The long-term performance utilizes earnings persistence and is measured using the regression of ROA and ROE for the past six years, and then the coefficients are determined using the lags of ROA and ROE in the three years after capital expenditure. The sample comprises 60 “big cap” companies listed on the IDX at the beginning of the sample period (in 2016) and for four years of the sampling period (2016–2019) with a total of 240 observations. The companies sampled should fulfill the criteria of having complete financial data for the six years before the sampling period. The hypothesis testing proves that capital expenditure impacts long-term performance, with no evidence to the contrary. Additional testing utilizing the control variables generated additional interesting results with important implications.

Strategic Alignment and Access Governance
Authors: Koot André
Published: November 2022

In today’s digital age, for an organization to succeed, it must have a strong IT function. That IT function will not be at its best, however, if it is missing a close partnership with the business components of the organization. In many organizations, IAM is seen as an IT responsibility. While some IAM-related tasks and activities can be considered IT-related, others are not. Without a clear understanding of the different tasks and responsibilities in the field of IAM, the success of IAM-related programs will be limited.This article argues for the need for explicit strategic alignment, also referred to as business-to-IT alignment, between IT efforts around IAM, particularly access management, and the business needs of an organization. Lack of this type of alignment leads to failed IAM projects and blocked business maturity growth.p { line-height: 115%; text-align: left; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin-bottom: 0.25cm; direction: ltr; background: transparent }a:link { color: #000080; so-language: zxx; text-decoration: underline }
Are you sure the bankruptcy of the intellectuals?
Authors: Lichański Jakub
Published: November 2022

Aleksander Nalaskowski's book The Bankruptcy of the Polish intellectuals [Bankructwo polskiej inteligencji] is an important position for a broader reflection not only on the condition of a certain social group, but more broadly - on contemporary culture, not only Polish culture. It seems, however, that the title problem of Nalaskowski's study touches upon a more general issue, which is the present situation of Polish and world (well, maybe only European) culture in general. Whatever we may think about ourselves and how we judge it, we are stuck in a process that affects culture - especially since 1945.
As I have tried to sketch the broader background, the sources of this bankruptcy are deeper and not only the fault of the intellectuals itself. Perhaps there is some truth in what the already mentioned Gałczyński wrote (Gałczyński 1956, 189 [Notes from unsuccessful Paris retreats - Notatki z nieudanych rekolekcji paryskich], 1946):
And when Your storm passes
will you accept a coward into your paradises?
Oh sweet night, summer night ...
Outside the window, a Galilean flute.
Probably many intellectuals would repeat these words after the poet; because there is too much wind for my wool (za duży wiatr na moją wełnę)... This also needs to be taken into account, the failure to settle accounts that affected us after 1939-1945. Here I see the sources of this bankruptcy (if it was bankruptcy), when our parents, relatives, found out that they deviated from the guideline…. Hence the lack of an answer to the question posed in the Little Violin Concerto from Niobe's poem - where is it? Originally the poet wrote - I know, I know. But this memory - did anyone need it?
So, in my opinion, it was not the intellectuals that went bankrupt; these were those who decided that she deviated from the guideline (odbiegli od linii wytycznej)... they kind of ordered her to go bankrupt, to give up everything they had managed to save despite the years 1939-1945. And they tried to keep it, hide it, pass it on to others. That it didn't fully work out? Well - let me repeat - nec Hercules contra plures (which I cannot translate in the language of Mr. Piecyk or Walery Wątróbka).

Genetic heterogeneity was investigated using 24 microsatellite markers and genomic DNA of 24 randomly selected birds from the selected and control lines of RIR chicken maintained at ICAR-Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar. The microsatellite alleles were determined on urea-PAGE, recorded using GelDoc system and the samples were genotyped. The complete genotypic data set was analyzed using POPGENE software. The observed heterozygosity (Ho) means were 0.6306±0.3901 and 0.6528±0.4345 in the selected and control line, respectively. Explicitly the control line contained more Ho mean and thus the more diverse than the selected population. The expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.5053 (MCW0059) to 0.8421 (MCW0004) with mean of 0.7066±0.020 in the selected line, and from 0.2899 (MCW0059) to 0.9130 (ADL0136) with mean of 0.7095±0.030 in the control line. The Ho mean was less than the He mean in each population; the Chi square and G-square tests revealed significant deviations of almost all the loci from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The selected and control line populations had the corresponding genetic identity and genetic distance of 0.5264 and 0.6418 as original measures, and 0.5528 and 0.5928 as unbiased measures. The phylogenetic analysis revealed their moderate genetic diversity reflecting 29.64 to 32.09% common inheritance. This present investigation thus estimated genetic heterogeneity using a set of microsatellite markers after long term selection for egg production in RIR chicken and could be useful in the study of population dynamics under selection pressure.

The present study was conducted to assess the effects of grazing and stall feeding on water intake in Tharparkar and Rathi cattle in their native tract of hot arid zone. Lactating cattle (Tharparkar 10; Rathi 10) and heifers (Tharparkar 10; Rathi 10) of each breed were divided into two groups, forming grazing and stall-fed group at Jodhpur and Bikaner districts of Rajasthan. Observations were recorded for water intake, dry matter intake and milk yield in the morning and afternoon regularly, twice weekly for six weeks during each season (summer, winter and rainy) continuously for two years. Water intake in lactating cows and heifers of both the breeds followed the pattern of THI during summer season. Rathi cows had higher water intake/kg W0.75 than Tharparakar cows, however, Tharparkar heifers had higher water intake/kg W0.75 than Rathi heifers. Grazing Rathi cows had significantly higher water intake than stall-fed cows. Study revealed that Tharparkar cows had lesser water intake per kg W0.75 and per kg milk yield basis; however, Rathi heifers had lesser water intake per kg W0.75 basis in their native tract.

Development of acaricidal resistance and environmental pollution has driven need for eco-friendly pesticides and herbal acaricides. Leaf extracts of Alstonia scholaris and Sida cordifolia in four different solvents were used in the range of 0.25-8.0% for larval immersion test against unfed larvae of Hyalomma anatolicum. Mortality rates of larval ticks were in dose-dependent manner ranged from 0.5 to 100% for A. scholaris and from 0.8 to 100% for S. cordifolia. Acetone extract of A. scholaris and methanolic extract of S. cordifolia were most effective against larval ticks with LC50 values of 0.71% and 0.42%, respectively. Significant larvicidal activity of A. scholaris and S. cordifolia leaf extracts against unfed larvae of H. anatolicum qualify them as green pesticides which could be combined with other tools for integrated pest management.

Anthelmintic activity to dietary incorporation of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) and wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.) herb as feed additives was evaluated. Twenty crossbred lambs (11.58±0.01 kg body weight) were distributed into four dietary treatments in completely randomized design and fed for a period of 90 days followed by 6 day digestibility trial. Animals in all the groups were offered oats straw based total mixed ration added with EFE’s cocktail at 0.60% substrate dry matter (DM) level (T1) or wormwood herb at 4.50% substrate DM level (T2) either alone, and in-combination of the two feed additives (T3), whereas the TMR without addition of any additive served as control (T0). In vivo anthelmintic assays and selected haemato-biochemical parameters of animals were evaluated at start (0d) and subsequently at monthly intervals (30, 60 and 90d). The feed additives in-combination improved nutrient digestibility and digestible nutrient intakes per day. Wormwood herb inclusion had significant positive effect on overall treatment means as well as at each feeding period of per cent faecal egg count reduction and at 90 day period of faecal parasitic eggs per gram assay. Blood profile revealed better physiological health status of lambs fed feed additives compared to those of control group. It is concluded that incorporation of wormwood had better anthelmintic activity and the two feed additives act synergistically in sheep to improve nutrient utilisation and gastrointestinal infested host’s health.

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of stimulating the embryo during the dormancy in the incubation period. 450 eggs (Ross 308) were allocated in four treatments each with three replicates. The treatments were as follows: T1 control (without shock), T2 Shocked (40) Millivolts (mV), T3 Shocked (50) (mV), T4 Shocked (75) (mV). A different voltage device was used to shock the egg, after marking the eggs with a line of iron filings to ensure electrical conductivity, eggs were shocked at different times three times a day. The results showed that the percentage of embryonic weight increased significantly and the percentage of albumin decreased significantly and the percentage of shells for experimental treatments during the seven days of incubation compared to the control treatment. The significant increase in the percentage of embryonic weight and amniotic sac and liquid and a significant decrease in the percentage of albumin and yolk compared to the control treatment at 14 and 17 days of incubation for experimental treatment. Significant increase in neurophysiological traits of neurons, brain weight for T2, T3 and especially T4 concluded that electrical stimulation had a positive effect on the embryo.

Applicability of viral 2A-peptides in generation of multi-cistronic transcripts to deliver separate self-cleaved proteins is well established. However, the use of viral 2A-peptides in fowlpox virus vector construction to co-express multiple heterologous genes has not been explored. To evaluate the same, a recombinant transfer plasmid pJFWPVt was constructed through two intermediate plasmid constructs, pJF7F9 and pJFHNGFP. The construction of pJF7F9 involved cloning of F7 and F9 genes of FWPV into pCI-neo with modifications in the F7-F9 intergenic region. For the construction of pJFHNGFP, a synthetic DNA adapter consisting of one synthetic early late promoter (PE/L), two viral 2A-peptides (P2A and T2A) and three multiple cloning sites (MCS1, MCS2 and MCS3) was synthesized chemically and was cloned into pUC19 to obtain pJFHNGFPi. Heterologous genes fusion (F) and haemagglutininneuraminidase (HN) of Avian Avulavirus-1 (AAv1) and marker gene AcGFP were cloned sequentially into MCS1, MCS2 and MCS3 of pJFHNGFPi to obtain pJFHNGFP. The insert (PE/L-F-P2A-HN-T2A-AcGFP) in pJFHNGFP was cloned into pJF7F9 to obtain pJFWPVt, which upon transfection in FWPV infected chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells resulted in fluorescence. This confirmed the expression of AcGFP and the continuous transcription ability of viral 2A-peptides. Further, western blotting of CEF pellet showed separate protein bands of F and HN protein at 66 kDa and 74 kDa respectively, which confirmed the self-cleaving ability of viral 2A-peptides. Herein, in FWPV vector construction, continuous transcription and self-cleaving ability of viral 2A-peptides in FWPV vector construction was confirmed. This warrants scope for future viral 2A-peptide based FWPV vector construction.

Pigs are particularly susceptible to heat stress because of their more sub-cutaneous fat with little or non-functional sweat glands. Pigs depend on panting as primary mechanism of heat dissipation and/or wallowing. Therefore, a study was conducted to generate basic information on certain blood biochemicals of pigs reared in high humid climatic condition. For the purpose, blood samples were collected randomly from 400 female pigs (6–12 month of age) during summer and winter of the year. The analysis of THI has shown an increase in the study area since 2012 to 2018. The hematological study of the pigs revealed a variation in respect of Hb and TEC with the season. Estimation of different enzymes showed increase with the increase of THI. The activity of enzyme, hormones except leptin was accelerated. Expression of IGF 1, HSP 70 and HSP 90 was also affected with the change of THI. The level of Kisspeptin and FSH β receptor showed difference between two seasons of the year. However, the level of Kisspeptin and FSH β receptor in serum of the experimental animals was found to be insufficient to initiate puberty till 12 months of age. It can be concluded that the pigs reared in semi-intensive system under high humid climatic condition did not attain puberty up to one year of age.
