Sinergias en la obra Radici in equilibrio. Una estrategia artística de transición hacia la concienciación ecológica. / Synergies in the art work “Roots in balance”. An artistic strategy for a transition towards environmental awareness.
Authors: Soto Sánchez Pilar
Published: January 2018

No cabe duda de que en el escenario de crisis socioambiental por el que atravesamos es más que urgente y necesaria la transformación de la humanidad hacia los parámetros de la sostenibilidad. Este cambio supone afrontar uno de los mayores retos en la actualidad y desde el prisma de la práctica artística realizar esta necesaria transición hace entender el arte como una de las herramientas más potentes para la transformación. La capacidad de interconexión entre el campo simbólico y el práctico de la creación artística vinculada a la conciencia ecológica, puede activar la empatía y reforzar los vínculos de respeto con la naturaleza para despertar la conciencia ecológica en los individuos. Consciente de la diversidad de artistas que, desde los años sesenta hasta la actualidad, han trabajado desde diferentes estrategias para activar lazos de reconciliación entre la humanidad y la naturaleza ante el desequilibrio ecológico, el presente ensayo se centrará particularmente en exponer mi propia estrategia creativa como un ejemplo más para despertar la conciencia ecológica desde la práctica artística.Esta investigación forma parte uno de los resultados de mi tesis doctoral y en ella se muestra el proceso de creación y recorrido de uno de mis últimos proyectos artísticos Radici in equilibrio. Obra con la cual, se han podido estudiar las fases de creación de una posible estrategia artística de concienciación ecológica. Se pretende mostrar, con tal caso práctico, la idea de que la creación contemporánea puede atender a los procesos ecológico-sociales, siendo capaz de introducirse en los nuevos escenarios de la transición hacia la sostenibilidad. La práctica artística se convierte en un activador de consciencias capaz de florecer en los territorios fértiles que emergen del estado de crisis socioambiental. Synergies in the art work “Roots in balance”. An artistic strategy for a transition towards environmental awareness.Through my artistical position, facing the ecological crisis, this article exposes and analyses one on my last project “Radici in equilibrio”. Art piece with which I’ve been able to go deep into the creation phases of an artistic strategy to create ecological consciousness. With this practical case, I demonstrate that contemporary creation can handle ecological-social processes, being able to introduce itself into new transitional scenarios through sustainability. The artistic practice gets to be, in this way consciousness producer able to grow in fertile territories that arise from the social and environmental crisis condition.

Práctica artística como investigación: su instalación y desarrollo en el sistema académico chileno. / Art Practice as research: Its implementation and development in the chilean academic system.
Authors: Villegas Vergara Ignacio
Published: January 2018

El artículo revisa la instalación y desarrollo de la noción de investigación basada en la práctica en el ámbito de las artes visuales del sistema universitario chileno. Alojada en los postgrados, la tradicional noción de investigación heredada del paradigma positivista,  ha comenzado a tener cambios en Chile –lentos pero sistemáticos-  desde los ’90. Primero en una discusión alojada en el pregrado, luego hacia el 2010 en el doctorado en artes.La investigación guiada por la práctica artística, conocida por su nombre en inglés Art Based Research o Practice as Research, valora tanto el producto final –la obra- como el proceso constructivo entendido como una cadena de pasos que entrañan conocimiento. Permite además que el artista asuma su labor creativa en la academia como una investigación, lo que permite su validación al interior del sistema universitario al que tradicionalmente se accede solo por las credenciales de artista. Art Practice as research: Its implementation and development in the chilean academic system.The present article examines the implementation and development of the notion of research that is based on visual arts practices within the chilean university system. Nested in graduate studies, the traditional notion of research was inherited from the positivist paradigm, and has undergone changes in Chile – slow but systematic changes– since the 90’s. Discussions leading to such changes began in the undergraduate domain and then became active amongdoctoral programs in the arts toward 2010.Arts-based Research or Art Practice as Research values both the final product (i.e., the work of art) and the constructive process understood as a sequence of steps embodying knowledge. It also enables artists to undertake their creative work as research endeavors in academia, which in turn validates then within the university system that traditionally could only be accessed with artist credentials.
El cultivo del cuerpo femenino: la investigación de una escena videoinstalativa en la ciudad de Jaén / The cultivation of the female body: The investigation of a videoinstalative scene in the city of Jaén.
Authors: Monteiro Brito Clara
Published: January 2018

La presente narrativa está relacionada de manera muy íntima a mí carrera artística en sus abordajes y reflexiones, se desarrolla en el ámbito de la investigación del cuerpo femenino, de sus movimientos y de su continua (re)significación delante de quien lo percibe, y, por lo tanto, de su propia (re)organización idiosincrásica. La investigación artística que ha fomentado esta escritura se desarrolló por medio de un movimiento que percibo como acto cartográfico, es decir, una narrativa polifónica que se evoluciona no solo para ser leída, sino para ser imaginada. Cartografié mi proceso creativo compuesto por diversas voces de mujeres de la ciudad de Jaén (España), además de otros discursos presentes en la intimidad de mi trayectoria femenina como herramientas para el desarrollo de una videoinstalación.  The cultivation of the female body: The investigation of a videoinstalative scene in the city of Jaén.The present narrative is closely related to my artistic career on its approaches and reflections. It is developed in the research field of the female body, its movements and its continuous (re) significance in front of the perceiver, and therefore, of its own idiosyncratic (re)organization. The artistic research that has fomented this writing was developed through a movement that I perceive as cartographic act, that is to say, a polyphonic narrative that evolves not only to be read, but to be imagined. I mapped out my creative process composed of various voices of women from the city of Jaén (Spain), as well as other speeches present in the intimacy of my female career as tools for the development of a video installation.

It's Not a Problem Until It's A Problem: How Studying Social Practice Can Shed Light on Health Culture and Type 2 Diabetes in Isla Mujeres
Authors: Benavides Rozee
Published: January 2018

Diabetes is a serious public health problem in Mexico with a particular concern in Isla Mujeres. With its sparkling beaches, delicious ceviche, and dazzling sunsets, the Caribbean island of Isla Mujeres in Quintana Roo, Mexico, is paradise to all; nevertheless, an estimated 80 percent of the population has Type 2 diabetes. In a primarily isleño (islander) population, I conducted a mixed method ethnographic study that integrated an anthropological lens with an applied research design. The rate of Type 2 diabetes within this population highlights the need to include in-depth, qualitative exploration of local context, social environment, and isleño culture when considering how to create change. Clinical data, formal and informal interviews, and surveys reveal the need to improve accessible patient education programs. The focus of this ethnography study is to understand the cultural and societal domains of food as a social practice, nutrition, and education that have led to this food-related disease.
“Practicing” Social Services And “Practicing” Anthropology: a Dual Perspective On Trauma-Informed Domestic Violence Care
Authors: Bloom Allison
Published: January 2018

As the field of domestic violence social services evolves in the United States, anthropology has much to contribute in directing these services towards equitable models of care. While the current trend towards “trauma-informed care” may at times be in tension with feminist concerns around the professionalization of this work, this field is at a crucial moment of transition. Using the author's perspective as a former practitioner alongside her ethnographic training, this research provides insight into how front-line workers can successfully negotiate between these professionalized realities and their necessary ground-level work. Moreover, the author's dual perspective highlights the potential for shared goals between “practitioners” of social services and “practitioners” of ethnography.
Questions Of Consequence: How Class Work Became Research And Research Became a Calling
Authors: Forcone Tannya , Cohen Jeffery H.
Published: January 2018

An experiential learning class teaching anthropological field methods at The University of Akron focused on factors surrounding low retention rates for African-American students. The process involving surveys and interviews uncovered a high rate of food insecurity on the main campus. Administration encouraged further study to determine the rate and characteristics of the problem. The class team conducted a pilot study using a truncated version of the USDA survey module. The research process expanded the range of data sources to include passive social media. The process also developed the student researchers into allies of the food insecure population. The student's learning experience was expanded beyond methodology into relationship building. The unique qualities of the food environment on a college campus provided impetus for further research and directed one student to determine her career focus.
Thinking Through “Community” In Archaeological Practice
Authors: Ozawa Koji , Colwell Chip , Thompson Kerry , Jones Laura , Nissley Claudia , Little Barbara J. , Shackel Paul A. , Gates Thomas
Published: January 2018

Community engagement is a central component of archaeology. Whether it is initiated through local, state, or national regulatory frameworks or as part of academic research, working with stakeholders is often structurally incorporated into project plans. However, what defines a community, and how this conception impacts archaeological practice is frequently not problematized. This conversation discusses the practice of archaeology as it engages with communities, and some of the difficulties encountered. If archaeology is going to be a holistically engaged discipline it must take seriously the complexities of communities and the impacts of its practice.
Predictors of angiographic restenosis in patients with coronary artery disease who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention with drug eluting stents
Authors: Praveen S. , R. Baiju , Radhakrishnan V. V. , K. K. Sarosh Kumar
Published: January 2018

Background: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is now widely accepted as a nonsurgical revascularization procedure for selected patients with CAD. In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a frequent complication after PCI which limits its long-term efficacy. Identification of those clinical and angiographic characteristics that may predict the risk of restenosis is extremely important to eliminate restenosis. In this context we conducted this study to assess the profile of patients with drug eluting stents - ISR with an emphasis on demographic characteristics, risk factors, mode of presentation and coronary angiographic characterization.Methods: This study was a Case control study based on the catheterization registry of all patients who have undergone PCI with DES during the period from October 2012 to April 2015. All patients who have undergone PCI with DES and repeat coronary angiogram for evaluation of symptoms and detected to have ISR during same period were taken as case and age matched patients who had previously undergone PCI with DES and repeat coronary angiogram for evaluation of symptoms between 1/10/2012 to 30/4/2015 and detected to have fully patent stents were taken as control.Results: A total of 26 patients were detected to have ISR during the study period as per the study protocol with equal number of age matched controls. The most common presentation of ISR was as chronic stable angina (70%). Binary logistic regression analysis of 6 factors namely diabetes, hypertension, lesion type, stent diameter, stent length and stent overlap found significant in univariate analysis, showed only the lesion type to be statistically significant with p value of 0.023.Conclusions: Patients who have undergone PCI with DES particularly for complex lesions, diabetics with longer stents, lesser diameter stents and overlapping stents need to be meticulously followed up to rule out the possibility of restenosis, as in a small number of patients the presentation could be ACS with comparatively bad prognosis.
A comparative study on outcome of ileal perforation after primary perforation closure and resection and ileostomy
Authors: A. Khalilur Rahman , Krishnaswamy Jawahar , G. Muthukumaran , J. Sanjay Prakash
Published: January 2018

Background: Ileal perforations are a common occurrence in our hospital setup with a majority of cases having an etiology of typhoid. The presentation and management of ileal perforation with special reference to typhoid, nonspecific and traumatic perforations and the outcomes in these patients and the factors affecting prognosis are important. Aims and objectives of the study were to study the management of Ileal perforation. To compare the outcome of two different types of treatment for Ileal perforation i.e. Primary Closure (vs) Resection and Ileostomy.Methods: This is a randomized comparative observational study conducted in general surgery department of Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai between February 2016 to October 2017. A Minimum of 28 patients was included in the study. Diagnosis was made on the basis of the X-ray erect abdomen, ultrasound abdomen, Widal test and intra-operative findings.Results: The common age groups affected was 41-50 years age group (5 patients) and 61-70 years age groups (5 patients). The least affected were 1-10years age group (one patient). The incidence in males was slightly greater than females. Male to female ratio was 2.5:1. Typhoid perforation is the most common case of ileal perforation followed by non-specific perforation. Post-operative complications are more in the primary closure group with 32.14% (9 patients) which is lower when compared to ileostomy group 17.85% (5 patients). Complications of primary closure were wound infection (2 patients), burst abdomen (3 patients), faecal fistula (1 patient), respiratory complications (3 patients). Complications in ileostomy group were wound infection (4 patients) and respiratory complications (one patient).Conclusions: Mortality was more in primary closure group with 21.42% (6 patients) and mortality was less in ileostomy group with 7.14% (2 patients). This study proposes that ileostomy may be given priority over other surgical options in moribund patients.
The Banished Scholar: Beverland, Sex, and Liberty in the Seventeenth-Century Low Countries
Authors: Hollewand Karen
Published: January 2018

Scholar Hadriaan Beverland was banished from Holland in 1679. Why was this humanist exiled from one of the most tolerant parts of Europe in the seventeenth century? This article argues that it was Beverland’s singular focus on sexual lust that got him into such great trouble. In his studies, he highlighted the importance of sex in human nature, history, and his own society. Dutch theologians disliked his theology, exegesis, and his use of erudition to mock their authority. His humanist colleagues did not support him either, since Beverland threatened the basis of the humanist enterprise by drawing attention to the sexual side of the classical world. And Dutch magistrates were happy to convict the young scholar, because he had insolently accused them of hypocrisy. By restricting sex to marriage, in compliance with Reformed doctrine, secular authorities upheld a sexual morality that was unattainable, Beverland argued, and he proposed honest discussion of the problem of sex. This article shows that by exposing the gap between principle and practice, Beverland highlighted the hypocrisy of a deeply conflicted elite at a precarious time, since the Dutch Golden Age had started disintegrating by the late-seventeenth century. Positioning Beverland’s fate in this context of change, his story and scholarship provide a fresh perspective on the intellectual environment of the Low Countries in this period.
Suspicion postmoderne en littérature : la modernité à l’épreuve de la contestation
Authors: Diouf Abdoulaye
Published: January 2018

La modernité, en littérature, a été très tôt associée par son père fondateur en France, Baudelaire notamment, à une tare congénitale : la méfiance à l’égard des dogmes constitutifs de son principe – le progrès et la nouveauté. En partant de l’idée qu’il s’agit moins d’une rupture totale que d’une critique, cet article envisage la postmodernité, apparue dans les années 80, comme une continuation de cette contestation du régime des historicités de la modernité. L’analyse s’appuiera sur trois dimensions : la vision du monde, la question du sujet et le problème de la représentation. Modernity in literature was very early associated by its founding father in France, Baudelaire in particular, with a congenital defect: mistrust of the dogmas constituting its principle − progress and novelty. Starting from the idea that it is less a total break than a criticism, this article considers the postmodernity which appeared in the 80s, as a continuation of this challenge to the regime of the historicity of modernity. Resting on a threefold-dimensional analysis, this paper explores the worldview, the question of the subject and the problem of representation.
Le roman franco-algérien : lumière sur le 17 octobre 1961
Authors: Miraglia Anne Marie
Published: January 2018

Cette étude porte sur la représentation de la répression des manifestants algériens le 17 octobre 1961 à Paris dans Le Sourire de Brahim, dans La Seine était rouge et dans Une nuit d’octobre. Nous insisterons sur les faits historiques mis en lumière dans ces romans franco-algériens et sur les procédés littéraires telle que la polyphonie qui dénoncent l’oubli et l’occultation de cette réalité historique par l’État français pendant et après la guerre d’Algérie. This study focuses on the fictional representation of the violent oppression by French police of Algerian demonstrators in Paris on October 17, 1961. Our objective is to examine the historical reality at the heart of three Franco-Algerian novels (Le Sourire de Brahim, La Seine était rouge and Une nuit d’octobre) and, in particular, their use of literary techniques such as polyphony to denounce the French state’s ‘oversight’ of institutional violence towards Algerians in France, specifically during and after the Algerian war of independence.
La modernité chez Jean Giono : une contestation entre accident et excédent
Authors: Faye Mamadou
Published: January 2018

Cet article se veut une contribution au débat centré sur la problématique de la modernité. Aussi, s’articule-t-il en particulier autour de la question de la crise de l’espace, un espace qui, dans la modernité, est viscéralement attaché au placenta de la technique. Cette crise résulte de l’évanescence de tout ou partie de l’héritage virgilien ainsi qu’à la cécité qui accompagne la striure de l’espace sous-tendue par une velléité exacerbée d’appropriation par occupation. Le désenchantement prononcé de Jean Giono est lié à ce problème et est à la racine de sa posture polémique vis-à-vis de la modernité.   The following is a contribution to the debate which focuses on the problematic of modernity. Therefore, it has particularly to do with the question of space’s crisis, space which, in modernity, is virulently connected with technique’s placenta. This crisis results from disappearance of the Virgilian heritage and the blindness which accompanies the division of land into smaller units. Giono’s disenchantment is connected with this problem and his polemical posture towards modernity takes root from his disillusion.
Am I my Brother's keeper? Émile Zola’s Thérèse Raquin as a retelling of Cain and Abel
Authors: Holley William Bradley
Published: January 2018

Émile Zola’s Thérèse Raquin exemplifies what the author would develop as his naturalist philosophy. This philosophy, based upon what the Zola considered to be a scientific and empirical process to understand the human condition, appears at a time in France where many different philosophical thoughts converge. This paper looks at how Zola’s declared scientific study of the “human-beast” is in fact a retelling of the Biblical tale of Cain and Abel, perhaps spurred by the confusion of the competing philosophies.Thérèse Raquin d'Émile Zola illustre ce que l'auteur développera comme sa philosophie naturaliste. Cette philosophie, basée sur ce que Zola considérait comme un processus scientifique et empirique pour comprendre la condition humaine, apparaît à un moment en France où convergent de nombreuses pensées philosophiques différentes. Cet article examine comment l'étude scientifique sur la « bête humaine » (déclarée ainsi par Zola) est en fait une réécriture du récit biblique de Caïn et Abel, peut-être stimulée par la confusion des philosophies concurrentes.
Comparison of Diet Quality for Pregnant and Non-pregnant Women
Authors: Onur Hande Nur
Published: January 2018

A woman’s nutritional status prior to and during pregnancy affects foetal development, the course of the pregnancy and her long-term health. This study aims to determine the diets of pregnant and non-pregnant women using the Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI-2010). The study was performed on 43 non-pregnant and 25 pregnant volunteers, who had no chronic diseases, took no diet treatments and had a mean age of 23.0 ± 30.1 years. Their general features were determined through a questionnaire, dietary intake was measured by 24-hour dietary recall method, diet quality was assessed by HEI-2010 and energy and nutrient intake was calculated by the Nutrition Information System programme. The diet quality of 60.3% of the participants was found to be poor, while 39.7% was average. Although pregnant women had a slightly higher HEI-2010 score, the diet quality was low for all; hence, dieticians should provide nutrition education for all child-bearing aged women. Keywords: Diet quality, healthy eating index, pregnancy nutrition.

Rethinking Educational Research on School Disengagement Through Studentsâ€™ Voices
Authors: Rodrigues Ines
Published: January 2018

Several factors may lead to school disengagement and dropout. Understanding this process can help schools identify and work with young people at risk of disengaging, before this comes entrenched. This paper reports the stages and initial results of a study that used vocational school students as co-researchers to investigate the phenomenon of engagement and disengagement at a vocational school. Following the premises that young people have unique perspectives on learning, teaching and schooling, we have built a research design in which all data were collected, analysed and coded by students who were engaged in a 3-stage process of analysis: selecting, contextualising and codifying. First findings of this research show that by analysing data, students identified and critically discussed problems, naming ways to change the situation, thus showing that when they are asked to participate in their own learning process, change can happen and schools can locally work to reduce dropouts. Keywords: School dropout; disengagement; students as co-researchers; students voice; photo voice.
Enhancing Hope, Resilience, Emotional and Interpersonal Skills in Counsellor Trainees: A Controlled Trial
Authors: Erden Seval
Published: January 2018

This study was aimed to develop the group psychological counselling programme for counsellor trainees to develop their ability to recognise, express emotions and establish healthy intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships. Moreover, the effect of the group practices was also investigated. The experimental design included the pre- and post-test control group. The sample of this study forms third-grade students attending the Guidance and Psychological Counselling in Marmara University, Turkey. 24 students were randomly assigned to the groups. Integrative Hope Scale, The Need for Affect Scale, Resilience Scale for Adults, Emotional Expression Questionnaire, and Scale of Interpersonal Relationships Dimensions were used as instruments. The results indicate that the developed group counselling programme yielded differences between the experimental and control groups, and the pre- and post-test scores of the training group. The findings indicate that the group counselling programme contributed to improving the hope and psychological resilience by relying on healthy relationships. Keywords: Counselling, hope, resilience, emotion expression, interpersonal relationship.
Motor skills in context of popularity in a group of school classes in children
Authors: Rechtik Zdenek
Published: January 2018

Self-concepts of very young children are consistently high but that with increasing life experience, and children learn their relative strengths and weaknesses, so that mean levels of self-concept decline, multiple dimensions of self-concept become more differentiated. Self-concepts become more highly correlated with external indicators of competence (skills and accomplishments). Well-developed motor abilities lead to positive feedback from significant others (teachers, parents, peers) which are related to positive emotions and motivation for physical activity. The data were measured by Piersâ€“Harris questionnaire, and the level of motor skills was monitored by TGMD â€“ two tests within the project IGA_PdF_2017_002. The research group consisted of 300 pupils (149 boys and 151 girls) in the middle school age (9â€“11 years). Based on the research results, we can say that the level of gross motor skills contributes on childâ€™s adaptation in the group of school classes. It is necessary to examine this area further, support physical activity of children in young school age and intentionally develop childrenâ€™s motor skills. Keywords: Primary school, children, school class, gross motor skills.
Intercultural communication in the space of higher education: issues of theory and practice
Authors: Kolosova Alevtina Alexandrovna
Published: January 2018

This paper aimed at exploring and discussing modern methods of teaching and learning of inter-cultural communication in higher school. To fulfil the study, both general scientific methods and methods of a number of humanities were applied including an inter-disciplinary approach and philosophy of synergetics. The survey and interviews with direct questions were conducted among students. As the result of the research, discussions on methods of introducing students cross-cultural knowledge and practical skills were held, and the preferences of the students on the issues of learning and teaching intercultural communication were revealed. The most effective methods and approaches to teaching and learning inter-cultural communication in higher school are the philosophy of synergetics and the dialogue style of communication in the classroom. A key challenge for further research is to identify dimensions for inter-cultural competence measurement. Keywords: Inter-cultural communication, philosophy of synergetics, dialogue style, inter-disciplinary approach.
Réalité et contraintes d'un corridor biologique dans la zone centrale du Mexique
Authors: Villanueva Antonio , Imbernon Jacques
Published: January 2018

Le Valle Central (zone centrale) du Mexique est un espace prioritaire pour la conservation de la biodiversité du fait du haut degré d'endémisme des espèces de faune et de flore présentes. Dans cette zone où se situent plusieurs aires naturelles protégées, les autorités fédérales du Mexique envisagent la création d'un corridor biologique allant du parc Mariposa Monarca à à celui du Popocatepelt. Or, le Valle Central fait l'objet de pressions anthropiques fortes qui sont dues aux activités minières et agricoles et à l'étalement urbain des grandes conurbations. Dans cet espace, ces pressions entraînent la fragmentation du couvert forestier et la diminution de la connectivité des écosystèmes naturels. L'étude présente une analyse à l'échelle régionale de la réalité du corridor biologique du Valle Central qui permettrait de relier les aires naturelles protégées. Dans un premier temps, la fragmentation du couvert forestier et arbustif a été quantifiée par des indices morphologiques issus de la théorie de l'écologie du paysage. Ensuite, un modèle de percolation est utilisé pour estimer la connectivité de ces espaces naturels et proposer une délimitation objective du corridor biologique. L'intérêt particulier de cette étude résulte de l'intégration de différents indices d'analyse du paysage révélant l'état réel du corridor biologique du Valle central du Mexique. L'étude met en évidence les espaces les plus sensibles pour la mise en oeuvre et la durabilité de ce corridor, ce qui exigera des politiques publiques volontaristes et bien ciblées.
Capacité des sols forestiers tropicaux de Guyane et de la Réunion à dépolluer les bois imprégnés de biocides
Authors: Zaremski Alba , Gastonguay Louis , Zaremski Clara , Chaffanel Fanny , Le Floch Gaetan , Beauchêne Jacques
Published: January 2018

Le matériau bois a depuis longtemps fait l'objet de traitements fongicides ou insecticides dont l'impact sur les sols après lessivage constitue un réel problème écologique. À ce jour, l'essentiel des études sur la dégradation de ces produits toxiques a été mené à partir des micro-organismes isolés en laboratoire. La présente étude a cherché à affiner les connaissances concernant ces microorganismes, en particulier les champignons lignivores dégradant les polluants in situ, pour lesquels peu de données sont en fait disponibles. En vue de dépolluer des bois traités, la capacité des micro-organismes lignivores issus de sols forestiers tropicaux de la Guyane et de la Réunion pour dégrader des biocides toxiques a été évaluée. Il s'agit du pentachlorophénol (PCP) et des composés à base de cuivre chrome arsenic (CCA). Le suivi de la dégradation d'éprouvettes de pin rouge, Pinus resinosa, montre que le sol de Guyane est plus performant que celui de la Réunion en termes d'activité microbienne vis-à-vis de ces deux biocides. Une différence significative de la perte de masse des éprouvettes de pin rouge traitées au CCA et au PCP peut aller du simple au double (respectivement 18 % et 30 %). Ces résultats confirment que le CCA est moins lessivable et moins dégradable par les microorganismes de ces sols que le PCP. D'après le barème des pertes de masse en essais de laboratoire, ces bois ainsi traités seraient classés peu durables après trois ans de mise en contact avec le sol, alors que le traitement est prévu comme très durable.
Productivité et valeur économique des calices de Bombax costatum Pellegr. & Vuillet en zone soudanienne du Burkina Faso
Authors: Ouédraogo Issaka , Nacoulma Blandine Marie Ivette , Ouédraogo Oumarou , Hahn Karen , Thiombiano Adjima
Published: January 2018

Arbre des savanes et des forêts claires sahélo-soudaniennes à guinéennes, Bombax costatum est une espèce fortement exploitée pour ses calices et menacée dans plusieurs localités au Burkina Faso. Une alternative à la conservation résiderait dans la reconnaissance de l'intérêt économique de l'espèce. Cette étude évalue la valeur monétaire de la productivité en calices de B. costatum pour fournir des arguments nécessaires à sa conservation. Pour ce faire, des individus de B. costatum ont été échantillonnés dans trois modes d'utilisation des terres ; leur production florale a été intégralement récoltée afin d'évaluer la quantité de calices produite. Des modèles allométriques ont été élaborés pour prédire la productivité en calices. La valeur monétaire des calices par pied de B. costatum a été estimée à partir de la valeur d'échange des calices secs sur les marchés en trois périodes de l'année. Les résultats montrent que la productivité en calices n'est pas significativement influencée par le mode d'utilisation des terres. Parmi les modèles allométriques ajustés, le modèle linéaire de la forme vY = a + bX prédit le mieux la productivité en calices de B. costatum. La valeur monétaire des calices évaluée par pied varie suivant le diamètre et la période. Pour une même période, elle est de 2,57 $US pour les diamètres compris entre 10 et 25 cm et 26,10 $US pour les diamètres supérieurs ou égaux à 50 cm. Sachant que la valeur monétaire des calices ne représente qu'une partie de la valeur monétaire totale de B. costatum, il importe de sensibiliser les populations locales à la plantation de l'espèce et à des techniques de récolte peu préjudiciables.
Déterminants de la structure des communautés fongiques dans les forêts de Corse : rôle des perturbations et de la composition forestière
Authors: Taudière Adrien
Published: January 2018

L’étude de l’écologie des micro-organismes est récente malgré son importance pratique et théorique intrinsèque, mais également son rôle central dans la niche des macro-organismes. Les interactions plantes-champignons, de par leur importance socio-écologique et leur diversité — du mutualisme au parasitisme en passant par le commensalisme —, offrent un modèle judicieux pour étudier l’écologie des communautés de micro-organismes en interaction avec des macro-organismes. À l’aide de techniques de séquençage à haut débit (NGS) et d’analyse des réseaux, nous explorons certains déterminants de la structure des champignons des forêts de Corse à travers trois guildes : les champignons ectomycorhiziens, endophytiques et saprotrophes. Ce travail considère les processus de dispersion, les perturbations (feux et chablis), les facteurs environnementaux (par exemple la profondeur du sol) et les contraintes dérivées de l’interaction avec les hôtes (par exemple la taxinomie). Les assemblages des communautés des différentes guildes présentent des patrons communs qui pourraient être issus de mécanismes identiques. Ainsi, l’ensemble des guildes étudiées présentent des variations fortes à l’échelle des microrégions de Corse et entre forêts ayant des histoires de feux différentes. En revanche, l’importance des différents processus d’assemblage et les échelles spatiales auxquelles ils s’appliquent varient selon les guildes. Nous discutons des implications que suscite ce travail pour les écologues des communautés et pour les gestionnaires d’espaces naturels.
Antonio-Dioniso versus Octaviano-Apolo: propaganda y contrapropaganda en torno a los ritos dionisíacos
Authors: San Vicente González de Aspuru Jose Ignacio
Published: January 2018

Resumen: El artículo analiza, por un lado, la relación establecida entre Antonio y Dioniso y entre Octaviano y Apolo. Ambos triunviros buscaron reforzar su poder utilizando la religión. Se presta especial atención a la identificación de Marco Antonio como “Neo Dioniso” en la zona oriental, después de la batalla de Filipos. Se sostiene que una de las consecuencias de este acto propagandístico fue la vinculación de Octaviano con Apolo y la de Sexto Pompeyo con Neptuno.De manera paralela, se examinan las acusaciones que los escritores de ambos bandos elaboraron con fines propagandísticos y con el objetivo último de denigrar al líder oponente. La identificación de Antonio con Dioniso y el vino terminó por perjudicar la figura del derrotado triunviro, que ha pasado a la historia como un dipsómano.Abstract: The article analyzes, on the one hand, the relationship between Antony and Dionysus and, on the other hand, Octavian and Apollo. Both triumvirs sought to reinforce their power by using religion. Special attention to the identification of Antony as Neo Dionysus in the east after the battle of Philippi is given. It is argued that one consequence of this propaganda act was to link Apollo to Octavian and Sextus Pompey to Neptune.In parallel, the accusations that writers on both sides prepared for propaganda purposes, with the ultimate goal to denigrate the opponent leader are discussed. Antonio link whit Dionysus and the wine ended up hurting the figure of the defeated triumvir, which has transcended in history as a dipsomaniac.Palabras clave: Accio, Apolo, Cicerón, Cleopatra, Dioniso, Marco Antonio, OctavianoKey words: Actium, Apollo, Cicero, Cleopatra, Dionysos, Mark Antony, Octavian
La risa de Deméter: aischrologia y Kalligeneia en las Tesmoforias de Atenas
Authors: Valdés Guía Miriam
Published: January 2018

Resumen: En estas páginas analizamos las Tesmoforias como ocasión para el gozo festivo de las mujeres de Atenas, especialmente en relación con dos momentos rituales, la aischrologia y la celebración de Kalligeneia. En cualquier caso la fiesta se constituye, en su conjunto, en un momento de solaz y regocijo para las féminas, en un espacio de “libertad”, acotado y regulado por la ciudad, en el que se pueden intuir “discursos” femeninos alternativos a los de la ideología oficial de la polis, pero, al mismo tiempo, inmersos en ella.Abstract: On these pages we analyze the Thesmophoria as an occasion for the festive joy of the women of Athens, especially in relation to two ritual moments, the aischrologia and Kalligeneia celebration. In any case the feast as a whole could be considered as a moment of recreation and joy for females, in a momentary space of “freedom”, bounded and regulated by the city; in this context, feminine “speeches”, alternative to those of the official ideology of the polis but at the same time, immersed in them, can be perceived.Palabras clave: Aischrologia, curotrofía, fiesta de mujeres, discurso femeninoKey words: Aishcrologia, kourotrophy, women feast, feminine discourse
Tingere l’anima
Authors: Albrile Ezio
Published: January 2018

Resumen: Una piccola chiesa nell’Italia del nord (a Valdurna-Durnholz, nei pressi di Bolzano) esibisce dei dipinti risalenti al XV secolo in cui si ripresentano antichi motivi gnostico-alchemici. In essi un angelo lava l’anima e le impartisce un battesimo celeste, una immagine che troviamo anche in un testo della biblioteca di Nag Hammadi, il Vangelo di Filippo, in cui la purificazione dell’anima e descritta nei termini di un lavaggio e di una immersione in una sostanza detergente; un lessico che trae origine dalle operazioni di lavaggio e di tintura dei tessuti, in particolare dalle manipolazioni di natura alchimica. Ermetismo alchemico, gnosticismo e cristianesimo condividono infatti un comune intento soteriológico che si e trasmesso all’Occidente in forme spesso difficili da decifrare.Abstract: In a little church of northern Italy (in Valdurna-Durnholz, near Bolzano) we can find paintings from the fifteenth century where we have ancient Gnostic-Alchemical themes, again. These works, show an angel washing a soul and gives it the heavenly baptism, something that we find also in a Nag Hammadi text as the Gospel of Philip. In this text, the soul’s purification is described as an act of washing and dipping in a cleansing substance; this is a lexicon coming from the washing and the dying of clothes, and particularly from the Alchemical manipulations. Alchemical Hermeticism, Gnosticism and Christianity share a common soteriological view which has been passed to the West in ways often difficult to understand.Parole chiave: Arte cristiana, Gnosticismo, Testi di Nag Hammadi, Alchimia, ErmetismoKey words: Christian Art, Gnosticism, Nag Hammadi texts, Alchemy, Hermeticism
O estudo da Morbimortalidade no Brasil sob o enfoque das relações 'População e Ambiente'
Authors: Manetta Alex
Published: January 2018

A análise das especificidades do padrão da morbimortalidade, no Brasil, traz considerações importantes sobre suas componentes demográficas e sugere impactos crescentes das mudanças ambientais na saúde humana, na medida em que o processo de transição urbano-industrial avança. Na busca por resultados mais precisos, entretanto, conclui-se sobre a relevância de algumas das condições básicas para a continuidade dos estudos sobre população e ambiente: 1) a necessidade de avançar na geração e no tratamento espacial de dados e 2) a tendência em avaliar impactos locais das mudanças ambientais, evitando generalizações excessivas.

Discutimos as estratégias dos escravos diante da possibilidade de ter sua liberdade disputada judicialmente, buscando entender como os cativos lidavam com o direito e as leis, as condições que os motivavam ou possibilitavam sua ida ao tribunal, e como obtinham aliados nessa luta contra seus supostos senhores.
Sobre os usos da tradição clássica: três leituras francesas da 'Odisseia'
Authors: Costa Lorena Lopes da
Published: January 2018

Nos anos que se seguem à Grande Guerra (1914-1918), três autores franceses, ex-combatentes e recém-chegados da guerra, recriam a 'Odisseia'. Falsificando Homero, falsificando a ficção, mas sem prescindir da tradição, Jean Giono, Giraudoux e Louis Aragon encontram nela um meio de narrar o que dificilmente pode ser narrado: o retorno da guerra. Será, então, pelo uso que fazem da epopeia que os autores irão desconstruir a imagem do herói na guerra e o lado épico da verdade, bem como será por meio dela que irão renarrar o retorno daquele que volta da guerra, embora ele volte, por causa da guerra, muito mais pobre em experiência.
O papel da ONU na governança econômica global do pós-guerra
Authors: Rinaldi Patrícia Nogueira
Published: January 2018

O artigo discute o papel da ONU na governança econômica global do pós-guerra, considerando o nexo institucional do liberalismo inserido, forjado pelo bloco histórico internacional transatlântico. Enquanto o mandato econômico da ONU foi relegado ao segundo plano devido à autonomia das Instituições de Bretton Woods, a organização tornou-se um espaço importante não apenas para as demandas Terceiro Mundo, mas de criação de uma nova ideologia que questionava o propósito social do liberalismo inserido.
Comportamento reprodutivo de mulheres indígenas no Alto Xingu, Mato Grosso, Brasil: uma perspectiva antropológica
Authors: Madeira Sofia Pereira , Silva Rebeca De Souza e
Published: January 2018

Os povos indígenas no Brasil sofreram significativa perda populacional no contato com frentes de colonização, alimentando previsões pessimistas que apontavam seu desaparecimento. Entretanto, muitos estão em processo de recuperação demográfica devido à alta fecundidade, fruto de padrões culturais que regulam o tamanho das famílias segundo necessidades de poder e ocupação de territórios, visando o funcionamento de seus complexos sistemas de organização social. Em uma perspectiva antropológica, este artigo procura compreender como aspectos socioculturais delineiam o comportamento sexual e reprodutivo das mulheres indígenas.
