Published: July 2022

Paper presents an application of temperature-time method for measurement of local losses in magnetic steel. Developed measurement system is described with focus on design of sensors and choice of instruments. Chosen equipment is tested on a DC circuit designed for measurement of losses in aluminum and copper conductors. Same measurement system is used for local loss measurement on magnetic steel rings. Measurement errors due to non-uniform loss distribution inside magnetic steel and heat dissipation to surrounding medium are analyzed and estimated.
Evaluation of different types of steel under high loading rates for short circuit applications
Authors: Almeida Emanuel , Pedro Pedro , Martins Paulo , Silva Carlos
Published: July 2022

This paper draws from independent experimental results pertaining to the properties of steel loaded at high strain rates, similar to those found in power transformer short-circuits. The types of steel that were tested are common non-alloy structural steel and high strength structural steel. The experiments showed that the most common types of structural steel, when loaded at high rates, are capable of absorbing considerably more energy than in quasi-static conditions. On the other hand, the high strength structural types of steel that were tested showed no improvement in their energy absorbing characteristics at high strain rates. The paper provides some examples to show how the experimental results may be incorporated in the design of steel components for short circuit safety. The last part is focused on the plastic deformation of steel and assesses its influence on the impedance variation of the power transformer following a short circuit.

Published: July 2022

Looking at the evolution of mobile phones, communications technology, and the Internet, one can see a clear shift in their usage in the past decade as mobile payment has become an important research area in the field of information technology. However, many financial institutions have adopted mobile payments. Except that only a limited number of clients are used. Several information systems theories/models have been proposed to examine the factors that could influence user adoption. However, the literature on the field is still in its infancy.  This paper, reviews and systematically analyzes the existing mobile payment acceptance and adoption literature that include UTAUT/TAM as a theoretical model to reveal mobile payment adoption research's current situation. The current study also provides a basis for future researchers in the mobile payment adoption study, as it provides a summary of related literature in the field, the models used, and the factors that have an impact on customer intent. Accordingly, the UTAUT, TAM models, with their extensions, are one of the models most used in examining and understanding the necessary factors that could influence mobile payment applications' adoption. The research revealed that 37 factors most commonly than a literature review on factors of adoption mobile payment applications since 2015. It was found that the factors of perceived trust and perceived risks are among the most critical factors in which the models are expanded, as they have an impact on the customer's acceptance of any new technology innovation. Therefore, emphasis must be placed on the factors of perceived trust and perceived risks to increase the applicability of UTAUT, TAM models to the mobile payment context.

Aim. To evaluate some social factors (parents socioeconomic condition) and behavioral factors (oral hygiene and alimentary habits) and establish associations between these factors and dental caries. Material and methods. A transversal study performed on 200 children (100 girls and 100 boys, mean age = 7.2±0.06 years) involving each children clinical examination and interview was developed. The children habits related to oral hygiene and diet were registered. Children were divided in three groups according to socio-economic family condition (SES): low, average and high. The caries experience indices (Prevalence Index-Ip, dmft/s, DMFT/S) were determined according to children SSE. Results. Children with low SES: Ip = 89.3%, dmft = 3.73±2.46, dmfs = 8.83±7.9, DMFT = 1.13±1.3, DMFS = 1.34±1.7. Children with average SES: Ip = 86.5%, dmft = 4.3±3.16, dmfs = 8.16±7.2, DMFT = 0.76±1.15, DMFS = 1.02±1.7. Children with high SES: Ip = 78.2%, dmft = 3.56±2.57, dmfs = 6.98±7.3, DMFT = 0.47±0.99, DMFS = 0.5±1.1. Conclusions. Caries experience indices were lower in children with higher SSE. Different life condition of children from the same region may explain the various types of carioactivity.

Aim: To assess thermal changes in composite fillings during light-curing process of two types of resin-based composites with low- polymerization shrinkage. Materials and methods: A thermocouple K was introduced apically through the pulp chamber of six extracted human upper premolars till the base of prepared MOD cavities, in order to measure the temperature developed in two restorative systems, a silorane-based composite (Filtek Silorane/3M EPSE - FS) and a dymethacrylate-based composite (Premise Packable/KERR - PP), during 5, 10 and 20 seconds light-curing process. For the light-curing of the adhesive systems and 9 increments of composites of the restorations was used a high power LED unit with a Periodic Level Shifting Light Technology from 1.100 mW/cm2 -1.330 mW/cm2 per second and a wave length of 450-470 nm. Results: The light-curing process caused an increase of the temperature in the restorative materials that was correlated to the increase of exposure time to the light, with almost doubled temperature values recorded for the silorane- based restorations compared to the dimethacrylate-based ones. The peak value was recorded for the horizontal base composite increment after 20 seconds of light-exposure, with a temperature mean value of 10.18 °C for FS composite compared to 4.91 °C mean temperature value recorded in PP composite. Conclusions: The ring opening Silorane cationic curing technology rises a concern regarding general accepted temperature values associated to its exothermic curing reaction during light-curing with a LED high-power and narrow wave length unit, compared to a highly-filled free-radical polymerization dimethacrylate-based resin system.

Published: July 2022

Introdução: atualmente, além da dengue, outra doença viral que assola o Brasil é a SARS-CoV-2, também chamada de coronavírus (COVID-19), e que vem causando extrema preocupação à população mundial, pois se espalhou rapidamente por várias regiões do mundo, causando diversos impactos na saúde humana. Dito isso, a distinção inicial entre dengue e COVID-19 é muito complexa, visto que certos achados clínicos e laboratoriais são comuns. Além disso, em áreas endêmicas de dengue, existe a possibilidade de teste DENV falso positivo. Objetivos: o objetivo deste estudo foi evidenciar a possibilidade hipotética da ocorrência do diagnóstico equivocado de Covid-19 em relação à dengue. Resultados: após análise, observou-se que essas doenças virais são de difícil diferenciação devido a semelhança de seus sinais clínicos, prova disso foi o ocorrido no início da pandemia, na Tailândia, onde foi descrito um caso diagnosticado como dengue que posteriormente foi corrigido para COVID-19. Além disso, Em áreas endêmicas de dengue, existe a possibilidade de teste sorológico DENV falso-positivo que posteriormente resultam em um diagnóstico tardio de infecção por COVID-19. Conclusão:Tudo isso corrobora a idéia de que as duas viroses são praticamente indistinguíveis, quanto a sintomatologia em áreas endêmicas para a arbovirose, notadamente nas que carecem de técnicas de diagnóstico molecular para COVID-19.

Extreme weather conditions govern the hydraulic and thermal properties of glacial clay deposits under the cold climate of the Canadian Prairies. The prediction of time-dependent soil behavior over the entire year and under extreme weather conditions is required for the design and construction of buried infrastructure. The main contributions of this research are the development and validation of a coupled soil-atmosphere interaction model to predict transient water and heat movement under mean, extreme dry, and extreme wet weather scenarios. Results indicated that the hydraulic properties are governed by the net water flux that resulted in the shifting of the seasons as follows: mean that comprises winter (3½ months), spring (1 month), summer (5½ months), and fall (2 months); dry that includes spring (4 months), summer (4 months), and fall (4 months); and wet that has winter (4 months), inseparable springsummer (5 months), and fall (3 months). The thermal properties are governed by air temperature for the investigated soil. Identical values of thermal gradient during spring-summer (April to October) in all scenarios indicate that the soil gains more heat compared with the heat loss during fall-winter (November to March), especially for mean and dry conditions. Furthermore, the inflection points in heat flux show that the soil gains heat from May to August and loses heat from September to April. Finally, the active depth of soil was found to be 4 ± 1 m for hydraulic properties and 3 m for heat flux.

Authors: Ružickij Robert , Grubliauskas Raimondas
Published: July 2022

Padangų perdirbimo procesas yra gerai žinomas. Gumos granulės sėkmingai panaudojamos statybos sektoriuje, tačiau padangų tekstilės pluoštas (PTP) išlieka problema, nes nėra žinoma, kur galima panaudoti. Šiame straipsnyje nagrinėjamas PTP atliekų pakartotinis panaudojimas kaip garso sugerties medžiaga. Tyrimo tikslas yra įvertinti PTP garso sugerties efektyvumą, kai medžiagoje yra skirtingas gumos priemaišų kiekis. Tyrimai darbe buvo atlikti esant trims skirtingiems gumos granulių priemaišų kiekiams. Vieninė lyginamoji garso sugerties koeficiento vertė taikoma apibūdinant garsą sugeriančius statybos gaminius, kurie naudojami pastatuose – laiptinėse, laukimo salėse, gamybinėse patalpose ir pan. Rezultatų apibendrinimo metodas paremtas ISO 11654 standartu. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad gu- mos priemaišų padidėjimas PTP atliekose turi neigiamos įtakos garso sugerčiai. Mėginių, kurie turi iki 10 % gumos priemaišų (PTP10), vyraujanti lyginamoji garso sugerties vertė siekė D klasę, kurios reikšmės kito nuo 0,30 iki 0,55. Kai gumos priemaišų kiekis buvo iki 54 % (PTP54), mėginių vyraujančios lyginamosios garso sugerties vertės siekė E ir D klases, kurios atitinkamai kito nuo 0,15 iki 0,25 ir nuo 0,30 iki 0,55. Gumos priemaišų kiekiui padidėjus iki 70 % (PTP70), vyraujanti lyginamoji garso sugerties vertė siekė E klasę, kurios reikšmės kito nuo 0,15 iki 0,25. PTP10 mėginių, turinčių iki 10 % gumos priemaišų, garso sugerties geba yra 31 % didesnė, lyginant su PTP54 mėginiais, ir 35 % didesnė, lyginant su PTP70 mėginiais.

Reagentų taikymas spartina nuotekų dumblo pūdymo procesą, kuriuo mažinamas dumblo kiekis, efektyviau stabilizuojamas dumblas ir kaip šalutinis produktas biodujos gali išsiskirti efektyviau. Biodujų gavyba – atsinaujinantis energijos šaltinis – yra puikiai pritaikoma, o tai leidžia įgyvendinti žiedinės ekonomikos principus. Reagentų įterpimas į dumblo pūdymo grandį gali padidinti dumblo pūdymo efektyvumą, skatina biodujų išsiskyrimą. Naujų reagentų poveikis nėra ištirtas, todėl svarbu tirti poveikį dumblo pūdymo procesui. Tyrimas sudarytas iš 4 etapų, pūdant dumblą taikytos skirtingos reagentų koncentracijos bei geležies chloridas. Nustatyta, kad geležies junginių naudojimas turi teigiamos įtakos biodujų gavybai. Geležies miltelių įterpimas padidina metano dujų išsiskyrimą bei sumažina sieros vandenilio koncentraciją. Darbe analizuojamas reagentų poveikis Šilutės miesto nuotekų valykloje susidariusio dumblo pūdymo procesui. Taikomi reagentai „Lima“ ir „Sierra“. Tyrimo tikslas įvertinti reagentų poveikį dumblo pūdymo ir biodujų susidarymo procesams Šilutės miesto nuotekų valykloje bei nustatyti optimalią reagentų dozę. Reagentų taikymas dumblo pūdymo procese 20 parų mezofilinėmis sąlygomis pagerino BSM suskaidymą, sumažino fosfatų fosforo koncentraciją dumblo vandenyje, padidino išsiskyrusių biodujų kiekį, be to, pagerėjo biodujų kokybė: padidėjo CH4.

KH 15D contains a circumbinary disk that is tilted relative to the orbital plane of the central binary. The precession of the disk and the orbital motion of the binary together produce rich phenomena in the photometric light curve. In this work, we present the discovery and preliminary analysis of two objects that resemble the key features of KH 15D from the Zwicky Transient Facility. These new objects, Bernhard-1 and Bernhard-2, show large-amplitude ( >1.5 mag), long-duration (more than tens of days), and periodic dimming events. A one-sided screen model is developed to model the photometric behavior of these objects, the physical interpretation of which is a tilted, warped circumbinary disk occulting the inner binary. Changes in the object light curves suggest potential precession periods over timescales longer than 10 yr. Additional photometric and spectroscopic observations are encouraged to better understand the nature of these interesting systems.

BACKGROUND: Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world after water. Tea (Camellia sinensis) is native to Southeast Asia and is now available in more than 30 countries. Tea has various health properties. Tea has an active component, namely catechins, which can inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans as a component of dental plaque formation.

AIM: This study aims to determine the antibacterial effect of steeped white tea, black tea, and green tea on S. mutans and plaque accumulation.

METHODS: The research used a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test group design. The population was students of the Department of Dental Nursing. Purposive sampling technique is used with a sample size of 48 students who were divided into three parts of the sample group for the 2.5% concentration of tea mouthwash treatment. The analysis used paired t-test to see the antibacterial effect and differences in three-variable test followed by Kruskal–Wallis test.

RESULTS: The results showed that the mouth rinses of steeped white tea, black tea, and green tea were effective in reducing S. mutans and plaque accumulation on teeth. There is a significant difference in the inhibition zone of S. mutans against the three types of tea, and white has the largest inhibition zone. As for plaque accumulation, there is no difference between the three types of tea.

CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that mouth rinsing with steeping white tea, black tea, and green tea with a concentration of 2.5% has antibacterial properties that can inhibit S. mutans and plaque accumulation.

Published: July 2022

Background: CD117/c-kit, is a powerful stem cell marker for malignant salivary gland tumors in which dysregulation of c-kit is closely associated with impairment of cell adhesion molecules and cancer metastasis.
Objective: The main purpose of this work is to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of c-kit, and claudin-1 and measure the density of lymph vessels (LVD) in common malignant salivary gland tumors by using podoplanin (D2-40) antibody.
Materials and Methods: Immunohistochemical staining with streptavidin peroxidase was used to analysis the expression of c-kit, claudin-1 and stained podoplanin (D2-40) lymphatic vessels on fifty archival paraffin blocks of malignant salivary gland tumor (MSGTs) cases included 20 cases of AdCC, 11 cases of MEC, 10 cases of CXPA,              6 cases of AcCC, and 3 cases of PAC.
Results: The immunopositivity of c-kit (CD117) was detected in 44/50 (88%) of studied cases, whereas, claudin-1 protein was observed in 35 (70%) of our specimens of MSGTs.  Count down of stained lymph vessels between examined cases was, MEC on the top, followed by CXPA, AdCC, PAC and AcCC. A direct correlation was observed between c-kit and lymphatic density, on the other hand, the inverse correlation was found d between c-kit and cld-1, as well as, between cld-1 and lymphatic density
Conclusion: Up regulation of cancer stem cell marker c-kit (CD117) expression is associated with decrease of tight junction protein cld-1 and increase the density of stained lymphatic vessels by podoplanin (D2-40) antibody which confirms the using of c-kit inhibitor to improve treatment strategy of malignant salivary gland tumors.
The Intervention Service Coverage on Convergence Action to Reduce Stunting in Riau Province Priority Districts, Indonesia
Authors: Rahmawati Tuti , Harahap Heryudarini
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of stunting in Riau, Indonesia based on the Indonesian Toddler Nutrition Status Survey in 2019 was 23.95%. Efforts to reduce the prevalence of stunting remain challenging to achieve the target of 18% by 2024. One of the pillars in efforts to reduce stunting is convergence action involving multi-stakeholders to ensure the service delivery interventions received by targeted 1000 days of early life households.  
OBJECTIVE: This study objective was to describe the intervention service coverage on stunting convergence action to reduce stunting in Riau Province, Indonesia. 
METHODS: The intervention service coverage was obtained from web monitoring convergence Action and Reporting System in 2020 and nutritional status was from the Electronic Community-Based Nutrition Recording. Data was taken from 10 priority districts. There were 11 specific interventions and 9 sensitive interventions were analyzed. The data were analysed descriptively by districts and type of intervention.  
RESULTS: The specific and sensitive interventions implemented in 161 priority villages in 2021.The results of the study were 6.0% of 392,444 under-five aged children indicated stunting. The average coverage of specific interventions was 78.3% and sensitive intervention was 50.3%. In specific intervention, supplementary feeding for wasted child (92.4%) and chronic energy deficiency pregnant women (91.1%) were the only indicator that reached the set target. All sensitive intervention were not reached the target.  Rokan Hulu (89.5%), Pekanbaru (88.0%), Kampar (84.4%), Pelawan (82.6%) districts had a high specific intervention. The highest sensitive intervention was in Rokan Hulu (74.6%). The budget from regional development for specific intervention was 28.2% and sensitive intervention was 71.8%.  
CONCLUSION: The coverage service of sensitive intervention was lower than specific intervention. Only 2 out of 11 specific interventions coverage had reach the target and all of sensitive intervention coverage had not reach the target. The specific and sensitive intervention coverage was varied among priority district. The strengthening of interventions is required to increase coverage service delivery to the targeted household. The local government convergence action and increasing the role of the village authorities were the main keys in accelerating stunting reduction.

Faire face à l’hétéronormativité en contexte policier
Authors: Gauthier Jérémie , Schlagdenhauffen Régis , Noûs Camille
Published: July 2022

À partir d’une enquête par entretiens conduite entre 2015 et 2019 auprès de policières et policiers lesbiennes, gays et hétérosexuel·le·s, l’article analyse les hiérarchies informelles fondées sur la sexualité dans le monde policier. Tout en constatant l’érosion du monopole de la norme hétérosexuelle au cours des dernières décennies dans la profession policière, l’article montre que les sexualités perçues comme non conformes demeurent un stigmate avec lequel les agent·e·s concerné·e·s doivent composer. Les rappels à l’ordre hétéronormatifs se manifestent dès le début de la socialisation professionnelle puis interviennent de manière plus ou moins marquée en fonction des grades et des types de postes occupés. Face aux assignations hétéronormatives qui jalonnent leurs carrières, les policières et policiers gays et lesbiennes mettent donc en œuvre des stratégies de dissimulation, de contournement et de négociation visant à « faire face », tout en préservant leur inclusion dans le groupe de pairs. L’analyse des trajectoires individuelles révèle une communauté d’expérience face aux épreuves de la stigmatisation tout en soulignant le poids de la dimension intersectionnelle, tant dans les manifestations du stigmate que dans les possibilités d’y faire face.
Annie Ernaux ou le désenchantement du monde
Authors: Baudelle Yves
Published: July 2022

L’étude s’emploie à montrer que l’univers naturaliste d’ Écrire la vie et sa vision désenchantée du monde sont incompatibles avec le romanesque comme univers et comme registre. Fondée sur un pacte non fictionnel et une écriture de la consignation, l’œuvre se signale en effet par son hostilité de principe au romanesque, refusant toute transfiguration de l’expérience, a fortiori toute sublimation. Cependant, loin d’être une représentation objective de la vie, ce prosaïsme et cette désublimation radicale procèdent d’une stylisation négative et d’un choix esthétique, celui du noircissement. Aussi cette tonalisation, en tant qu’elle configure l’expérience – dans le sens de l’abjection –, est-elle en définitive une concession au romanesque, au plan de la composition.
La lecture à distance : bibliothèque intérieure et arts de la mémoire
Authors: Leblond Aude
Published: July 2022

Cet article étudie la présence souterraine du modèle des arts de la mémoire, dans les souvenirs de roman des écrivains. Les fréquents échecs de la conservation mémorielle des romans n’ôtent pas toute pertinence à l’analogie des arts de la mémoire ; mais ils supposent de la déplacer. Les arts de la mémoire n’ont pas pour but unique une remémoration parfaite : en les pratiquant, l’orateur apprend à improviser à partir d’un répertoire d’idées ou d’images prêt à être réagencé indéfiniment. De même, l’oubli partiel des romans participe d’un horizon créatif.
Nains et girafes . Les résistances à la censure sous la Restauration ou le renouveau d’une parole polémique (1820-1821, 1827)
Authors: Bertran de Balanda Flavien
Published: July 2022

Alors que la liberté de la presse constitue l’un des enjeux les plus brûlants de la Restauration, les deux moments marqués par le rétablissement de la censure donnent à voir des stratégies inédites de contournement, ainsi que la reconfiguration d’un schème discursif d’opposition prenant la satire comme vecteur de la polémique. Le fond et la forme de ce matériau textuel et paratextuel inaugurent des armes nouvelles pour une contestation qui, se jouant des obstacles administratifs, n’en conquiert qu’une plus large audience. Étroitement intriqués avec le contexte politique qui a présidé au choix d’une restriction de la parole publique par le gouvernement, les épisodes de 1820-1821 et de 1827 témoignent du double tranchant de ces tentatives d’étouffement qui se retournent in fine contre ceux qui pensaient y trouver un bouclier : la chute de Villèle semblerait annoncer celle de Charles X.
Catherine Blum (1854) de Dumas : le mystère criminel, entre quête du sens et rêve du passé perdu
Authors: Vervel Marc
Published: July 2022

Catherine Blum d’Alexandre Dumas intègre une enquête d’allure policière à un roman relevant de la tradition noire et sous influence du mélodrame. Ce texte constitue une entrée pour envisager la diversité des modalités d’appropriation narrative du paradigme de l’enquête dans le cadre de la littérature romanesque du xix e  siècle. Alors que Dumas a dû s’exiler un temps à la suite de l’avènement du Second Empire, il use de cette approche du récit au service d’une poétique de la nostalgie, ouvrant sur le rêve d’un monde perdu où la déduction relèverait simultanément d’une logique providentielle et d’un rapport originaire à un univers préservé des ravages de la modernité. Dumas peut alors adopter une stratégie narrative originale pour capter l’attention du lecteur, et se poser en opposant romantique au pouvoir en place par le biais de cette narration d’allure rêveuse.
Trump ou l’apocalypse
Authors: Coste Françoise
Published: July 2022

L’émergence de Donald Trump sur la scène politique a divisé le mouvement intellectuel conservateur aux États-Unis. Si certains conservateurs sont devenus des «  never Trumpers  », d’autres ont soutenu avec force ce président hors-norme. C’est en particulier le cas des disciples contemporains de Leo Strauss et de Harry V. Jaffa qui gravitent autour d’une revue très influente dans les milieux conservateurs, la Claremont Review of Books . Ces « Straussiens de la côte Ouest » ont particulièrement défendu les décisions de Trump en matière d’immigration ou de nominations judiciaires, au nom d’une philosophie qui prône un retour vers la doctrine de la loi naturelle, qu’ils identifient comme consubstantielle à la démocratie américaine elle-même.
Les ressources chrétiennes de l’illibéralisme états-unien
Authors: Chelini-Pont Blandine
Published: July 2022

Depuis les années 1970, le recours politique au christianisme s’est fortement infléchi vers la droite et a donné naissance à un mouvement propre, la droite chrétienne, qui a consolidé sa position dominante dans le conservatisme républicain. Le référentiel chrétien a également servi à animer la montée de l’extrême droite, nourrissant en chemin et par paliers un conglomérat de propositions antilibérales et illibérales qui se sont coulées au canevas populiste des campagnes présidentielles de 2016 et 2020, menées par Donald Trump. Le résultat a donné naissance au Christianism ou Christian Nationalism ou Christian Populism , selon la définition qu’en donnent les chercheurs américains. Cet article présente les tendances qui le composent.
La matière de l’invisible. Modalités de perception des entités spirituelles chez les Kulung (Népal)
Authors: Schlemmer Grégoire
Published: July 2022

Quel type de matérialité est attribué aux entités spirituelles et dans quelle mesure peuvent-elles être perçues : ces questions sont ici traitées à partir de l’ethnographie des Kulung Rai du Népal. Cette exploration des modes d’expérimentation des entités spirituelles s’opère en fonction des prérequis de la perception : la conscience (sujet captant), la sensorialité (qui capte), la matière captée (qui forme le monde) et la langue (qui catégorise). On montre que les entités spirituelles se caractérisent moins par des éléments perceptifs particuliers que par une forme singulière de perception, toujours limitée, ambiguë, médiatisée, qui fait de ces entités spirituelles moins des êtres expérimentés par des sens que des déductions associées à des formes d’anomalie et de mystère.
Science, superstition et religiondans le Japon moderne : premières approches
Authors: Hayek Matthias
Published: July 2022

Nous avons pour cette première année de conférence retenu comme thème général le processus, amorcé après la Restauration impériale de 1868, de construction de la « superstition » (meishin 迷信) comme un objet à rejeter dans le cadre de la « modernisation » du pays. À travers l’étude des publications « anti-superstitions » parues entre 1880 et 1930 nous avons repéré différentes étapes et tournants dans le regard porté sur ce nouvel objet, qui comprend des croyances considérées comme désuètes, erronées, voire dangereuses, expression d’une ignorance intéressée ou de « troubles » psychiques. Le rôle de la psychologie et de la médecine, moins mis en avant jusqu’à présent que celui de la religion dans la construction des superstitions, est en particulier apparu comme central.
Études tantriques
Authors: Acri Andrea
Published: July 2022

Les conférences de l’année académique 2020-2021 se sont articulées autour du thème des doctrines du śivaïsme tantrique javanais (c. viiie-xve siècle) à la lumière d’un texte en vieux javanais de caractère spéculatif et mystique : le Tattvajñāna. Notre lecture nous a donné l’occasion de jeter un regard comparatif sur la théologie śivaïte saiddhāntika connue à travers les textes canoniques indiens et la littérature en sanskrit-vieux javanais de Java et Bali.
Religions de Rome et du monde romain
Authors: Prescendi Morresi Francesca
Published: July 2022

La religion romaine reconnaît un pouvoir performatif à la parole, surtout en ce qui concerne l’invocation des divinités. Le but de notre séminaire a été de mieux comprendre le rapport entre l’énonciation de cette parole performative, les supports qui permettent de la prononcer correctement (livres), le type d’énoncé (prières) et les autorités religieuses. L’exploration s’est concentrée sur la religion romaine publique et n’a donc pas pris en compte la religiosité privée ni les rites définis normalement comme « magiques ». En effet, si une comparaison avec ces matériaux est intéressante, elle ne nous éclaire cependant pas sur ce qui est au cœur de notre réflexion, c’est-à-dire sur le rapport entre l’invocation des dieux et les autorités sacerdotales publiques. Ce séminaire s’est focalisé aussi sur les divinités faisant partie de ces prières, en particulier les « petits dieux ». Pour percevoir comment cette « foule de divinités » était imaginée, nous avons accordé une attention particulière aux dénominations utilisées dans la littérature. Enfin, nous avons analysé deux cas d’étude : les déesses Febris et Carna.
Polémique païenne et réfutation chrétienneautour du prologue de l’évangile de Jean :une étude du Contre Julien Χ, 1-10 de Cyrille d’Alexandrie
Authors: Boulnois Marie-Odile
Published: July 2022

Au début de son livre X, Cyrille d’Alexandrie répond à l’empereur Julien pour qui le prologue de l’évangile de Jean est la preuve suprême de l’infidélité de la doctrine chrétienne à ses propres racines juives et apostoliques. Dans cette controverse, Julien montre sa très bonne connaissance des débats théologiques et tire parti de la question disputée de la répartition des prises de paroles entre l’évangéliste et Jean-Baptiste. Cyrille le réfute en recourant aux outils de sa théologie trinitaire élaborés dans sa controverse contre les ariens et en constituant des petits florilèges scripturaires dont on peut trouver des parallèles dans ses autres œuvres. Deux enjeux sont au cœur de cette polémique : la définition de Jésus comme Dieu et la visibilité divine.
Systèmes de pensées et de croyances médiévaux
Authors: Grellard Christophe
Published: July 2022

Dans le cadre du séminaire, d’une part, nous avons poursuivi l’enquête menée sur des questions de théologie morale entre le xiie et le xvie siècle dans le but de comprendre les transformations du christianisme médiéval au seuil de la Modernité ; d’autre part, nous sommes revenus sur la question de la croyance. Cette année, la première partie du séminaire, menée en collaboration avec Irène Rosier-Catach, Raphaël Eckert et Corinne Leveleux-Texeira a porté sur la notion d’intention en sémantique, en droit et en théologie. La deuxième partie était consacrée à une lecture suivie du De vita spirituali animae de Jean Gerson (1402). Enfin, la troisième partie s’est attachée à élucider le statut de la croyance au xiie siècle.
Pèlerinages et prières de pèlerinage (al-ziyāra) sur les tombes des Guides
Authors: Amir-Moezzi Mohammad Ali
Published: July 2022

La religion musulmane, aussi bien dans sa dimension savante que dans ses aspects dits populaires, accorde une importance considérable au pèlerinage ou visite (ziyāra) des tombes des saints ainsi qu’aux invocations qui accompagnent cette pratique. La littérature primaire tout comme les études consacrées au sujet sont pléthoriques […]
Formation des doctrines juridiques et du rituel en islam(du viie au xve siècle)
Authors: Benkheira Mohammed Hocine
Published: July 2022

Cette année, nous avons abordé un problème ancien : le rapport de l’islam (comme système religieux) au Coran. On doit prendre soin de distinguer ce problème de celui qui a trait au codex (muṣḥaf) : histoire, usages, etc. Beaucoup parmi ceux qui sont familiers avec la culture islamique savent que le rapport de l’islam au Coran est médiatisé par l’exégèse. En d’autres mots, le système religieux qui s’est mis en place progressivement – à savoir les doctrines, les narrations comme les rites –, s’enracine moins dans les énoncés coraniques eux-mêmes que dans les interprétations qui en ont été proposées dès la fin du viie s. ou le début du viiie s., voire même plus tard […]
Commentaires mystiques de la sourate XXXIII al-Ahzâb
Authors: Lory Pierre
Published: July 2022

Le cours de cette année était consacré aux commentaires mystiques de la sourate XXXIII « Les Coalisés ». Cette sourate se caractérise par un contenu lié à des événement cruciaux de la vie du prophète Muhammad : la bataille dite de la Tranchée (627) entre les Médinois musulmans et les Mecquois païens et leurs alliés ; l’élimination de la tribu juive médinoise des Qurayza ; aux remous causés par le mariage de Muhammad avec la femme de son fils adoptif Zayd Ibn Hâritha ; à la consolidation du leadership de Muhammad dans la ville. Le but du cours était de suggérer comment un commentaire de type proprement mystique pouvait s’articuler – ou non - sur des versets de portée clairement profane. Sans nier la consistance historique des événements, les commentateurs mystiques auront en fait tendance à allégoriser autour de la plupart des référence historiques mentionnées.
Challenges affecting Mzongwana cattle farmers to commercialise livestock production in Eastern Cape, from a local economic development perspective
Authors: Baqwa Mthetheleli , Swanepoel Elana , Venter Marius
Published: July 2022

Background: Rural cattle farmers in Mzongwana, Matatiele, Eastern Cape, face a scarcity of resources preventing them from commercial farming and contributing to local economic development (LED) and eradicating unemployment.Aim: This study compares resource constraints associated with livestock farming contained in the Matatiele Local Municipality’s LED strategy with those identified by the cattle farmers in Mzongwana villages, linked to the agricultural economic theory of scarcity of resources.Setting: The Matatiele area has an estimated unemployment rate of 39%. This article focuses on LED interventions to commercialise livestock farming practices in Mzongwana villages located in the Matatiele Local Municipality, in the Alfred Nzo District Municipality in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa.Methods: A quantitative survey was conducted using a researcher-completed structured questionnaire with 34 of the 65 cattle farmers from Mzongwana.Results: The results revealed that major constraints affecting Mzongwana livestock farmers include stock theft, a dearth of bulls for breeding, inadequate water infrastructure and limited equipment to perform various cattle functions, such as scaling, loading, separating, clamping and sorting of cattle.Conclusion: The LED strategy of the local municipality should be revised to provide training and skills capacity building related to cattle breeding and to address these major constraints affecting the commercialisation of livestock farming in Mzongwana. It is recommended that the Matatiele Local Municipality assist in the combating of stock theft, provide training in artificial insemination, ensure water availability by building dams and drilling boreholes, and arrange for financial support for cattle farmers to purchase cattle equipment.
Second victim experiences of healthcare providers after adverse events: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Mathebula Le Crenis , Filmalter Celia J. , Jordaan Joyce , Heyns Tanya
Published: July 2022

Background: Adverse events in healthcare are inevitable as most treatments and investigations have the potential to cause harm. Healthcare providers often witness or are involved in adverse events, putting them at risk of becoming second victims, which may further impact patient safety.Aim: The researchers report on the physical and psychological symptoms experienced by healthcare providers following adverse events during patient care as well as their perceptions of the quality of support received and the desired forms of support following adverse events.Setting: A single secondary public hospital in the Limpopo province, South Africa.Methods: Using total population sampling, healthcare providers were invited to anonymously participate in a cross-sectional survey using the Second Victim Experience and Support questionnaire to assess experiences after adverse events and desired forms of support.Results: Healthcare providers (N = 181) experienced more psychological distress (mean = 2.97, standard deviation [SD] = 1.33) than they experienced physical distress. Most healthcare providers relied on non-work-related support (mean = 4.08, SD = 1.19). Healthcare providers reported that adverse events influenced their perceptions of professional self-efficacy (mean = 2.71, SD = 0.94) and mostly desired support in the form of discussing the event with supervisors or managers (mean = 3.72, SD = 1.37).Conclusion: Healthcare providers in different clinical settings are at risk of suffering second victim effects. Health institutions should offer support to all victims of adverse events.Contribution: The information offered could enable healthcare management to modify existing practices to a non-punitive style, improve communication and provide better support following adverse events.
Preliminary thoughts on the interplay between face, masking and self-presentation in a liturgical-ecclesiological praxeology in a pandemic time
Authors: Kruger Ferdi P.
Published: July 2022

This article examines faith communities that have been offered a new front door during the pandemic, namely, the internet. Firstly, one should acknowledge that people called participants in the liturgy encountered a defining moment in their cognisance of the pandemic. They were exposed to the virtual domain. As identified by Erving Goffman, the role of self-presentation, with specific mention of the fact that people normally wear masks, is insightful. A liturgical praxeology deals with people’s propensity to make sense of communicators’ facial expressions. Consequently, one must ask whether virtual participation in the liturgy and the possibilities for self-presentation in the online environment could not add value to a liturgical-ecclesiological praxeology. In presenting systemising perspectives on the importance of the relational aspect underlying the ecclesiological premises and the importance of people participating in the liturgy to seek God’s face, the article reveals that there should be further refinements in this time of pandemic pandemonium. A mere transposing of the liturgy in face-to-face worship practices to the virtual environment will offer challenges. Finally, the following research question is formulated and briefly discussed: to what extent should the idea of self-presentation within a pandemic be integrated into a praxeology for a liturgical ecclesiology?Contribution: The article aims to provide practical theological perspectives on how self-presentation in both face-to-face and virtual participation in the liturgy could be addressed.
