Soon after the Protestant Reformation took place in Livonia in the 16th century, the currents of European humanism came to Livonia. As a result of the historical and religious impact, the level of education increased, enabling an environment for the development of the literature. Soon various Latin poetry texts int. al. 17th-century occasional poetry written by the humanists of Riga started to appear. The aim of the article is to bring to light the components of nuptial (epithalamium, ὑμέναιος/hymenaeus, carmen nuptialis, etc.) poetry written in Riga in the 17th century, as well as by exploring the specific features of occasional poetry to capture readers’ and researchers’ interest in the previously undiscovered cultural heritage. At the beginning of the article, the tradition of nuptial poetry is explained. Then, by examining the basic principles one must take into account in composing occasional poetry based on works of the ancient rhetors – Menander (Μένανδρος Ῥήτωρ, c. 3rd century), pseudo-Dionysius (pseudo-Dionysius/Διονύσιος), Himerius (Ἱμέριος, c. 315–c. 386) and the book “Seven Books on Poetry” (Poetices libri septem, 1561) written by Italian humanist Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484–1558) – a table of the most used topics in nuptial poetry is formed. Afterwards, the poetry written in Riga and its most typical components (didactics, laudation, inducement, foresight, wishes/congratulations and prayers) is compared to the topics offered by previously mentioned theoreticians. Fragments of Latin nuptial poetry written in Riga are included to portray the components of poetry more clearly. All translations of poetry included in the article are made by the author of the article.
Vēsturiskā atmiņa Latvijas teātra jaunās paaudzes mākslinieku darbos: izrādes „Dvēseļu utenis” piemērs
Authors: Rodiņa Ieva
Published: June 2020

The aim of the research “Historical Memory in the Works of the New Generation of Latvian Theater Artists: The Example of “The Flea Market of the Souls” is to focus on the current but at the same time little discussed topic in Latvian theater – the change of generations and the social processes connected to it, that are expressed on the level of world views, experiences, intergenerational relationships. Most directly, these changes are reflected in the phenomenon of historical memory. The concept of “postmemory” was defined by German professor Marianne Hirsch in 1992, suggesting that future generations are closely related to the personal and collective cultural traumas of previous generations, which are passing on the past experience through historical memory, thus affecting the present. Grotesque, self-irony, and focusing on socio-political, provocative questions and themes are the connecting point of the generation of young Latvian playwrights born in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including such personalities as Jānis Balodis, Rasa Bugavičute-Pēce, Matīss Gricmanis, Justīne Kļava, etc. However, unlike Matīss Gricmanis or Janis Balodis who represent the aesthetics of political theater, in Justīne Kļava’s works, sociopolitical processes become the background of a generally humanistic study of the relationships between generations. This theme is represented not only in “The Flea Market of the Souls”, but also in other plays, like “Jubilee ‘98” and “Club “Paradise””. The tendency to investigate the traces left by the Soviet heritage allows to define these works as autobiographical researches of the identity of the post-Soviet generation, analyzing life in today's Latvia in terms of historical memory. Using the semiotic, hermeneutic, phenomenological approach, the play “The Flea Market of the Souls” and its production in Dirty Deal Teatro (2017) are analyzed as one of the most vivid works reflecting the phenomenon of historical memory in recent Latvian original drama.
Digimodernisms teātrī: perspektīva un naratīvs
Authors: Lēvalde Vēsma
Published: June 2020

The digital era has created a new form of textuality, defined ten years ago by British cultural critic Alan Kirby as digimodernism, manifested in both literature and art, and gradually replacing postmodernism. The new media-language theorist Lev Manovich sees similarities in digital art and the aesthetics of the Left Avant-Garde of the 1920s, as well as cinema. In the early and middle 20th-century cinema development produced an impact on modernism art. In the 21st century, digital technologies emerging from film aesthetics leave the footprints in contemporary art and theatre. Identifying the key principles of Kirby’s theory in particular productions allows partial revising Hans-Thies Lehmann’s concept of post-dramatic theatre, and raising a thesis on digimodernism as one of the contemporary tendencies in theatre. Thus, fundamental categories of theatrical language – space, time, character, narrative – are becoming relevant. The article aims to research the narrative in digital art and look for a similar strategy of sense construction in theatre productions, drawing conclusions on the effects of digimodernism on theatre. If a narrative is perceived as a sign system, there are two dimensions – the syntagmatic or “real narrative” and the paradigmatic or a range of choices from which narrative is selectively created. Manovich’s theory proves that in new media language paradigm and syntagma interchange, therefore the paradigm becomes a sense-bearer. Similar principles are applied in modern theatre directing. A typical example is the selected production by Latvian director Elmars Senkovs based on the classic play “Blow, wind!” (Pūt, vējiņi!) by Latvian poet and playwright Rainis. The author of the research concludes that the principles of digimodernism in theatre can change the visual perspective of the stage space, namely, the concepts of “downstage” and “upstage” are often replaced by the terms “top” and “bottom”, making the stage “flat”, similar to a screen. Meanwhile, the central perspective or the narrative as a sense-construction strategy still depends on the intellectual capacity and emotional sensitivity of theatre-makers as interpreters.
Investigating the European Energetic Situation Under a Potential Scenario that Marginally Meets Green Deal Requirements
Authors: Vita Vasiliki , Lazarou Stavros
Published: June 2020

The paper presents a potential energetic scenario that leads to near zero emissions for Europe in 2050, marginally meeting Green Deal requirements. Nevertheless, technologically wise it is an advanced implementation. It proposes a relatively high penetration of renewables (wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and nuclear), the increased use of electro-mobility, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen and other technologies. The simulations were performed using the open source Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM) and the simulation data and results are available online
Investment Impact of Water Reliability—Recent Dow Experience
Authors: Bork Paul
Published: June 2020

Rather than repeat the work of others in this area, this paper merely cites with approval the recent paper of Michael Booth3 for its presentation of the background and current status of the law, including TCEQ’s regulations and the ongoing case4 challenging the existing TCEQ water call regulations and their application. The Author ex- presses no view regarding the paper’s presentation of Mr. Booth’s views with respect to the legality or appropriateness of these regula- tions or his views on this case. The Author notes in passing that the second sentence in Section D of this paper should read in part, “A priority call made by The Dow Chemical Company (‘Dow’) on No- vember 14, 2012.” Any similarities between the views of Mr. Booth and those of the Author may not be entirely coincidental, but they are both independent and beyond the scope of this paper.
Investment Risks for Water Projects
Authors: Leurig Sharlene
Published: June 2020

Unlike most of the developed world, where investor-owned water systems serve the majority of the population, the United States relies mostly on water provided by public systems. To a great extent, these systems were financed through the taxation authority of the federal government—the iconic Hoover Dam only one of the many hundreds of pipelines and reservoirs built by agencies such as the Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corps of Engineers for the benefit of local economic development. Similarly, many of the drinking and waste- water treatment facilities in operation today were built to help communities comply with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act and financed in large part by federal dollars distributed through the Environmental Protection Agency, sometimes leveraged by state revolving loan funds. What of our public water systems has not been paid for by federal or state tax dollars has been debt-financed through the tax-exempt municipal bond market. Of the $3.7 trillion municipal bond market,1 roughly 10% is debt issued by water and wastewater systems to build, repair and expand water infrastructure.
State Water Planning
Authors: Kelly Mary E.
Published: June 2020

The essay shows that while the Texas water planning process is valu- able and important, its execution in practice is often flawed, resulting in over-estimates of the gap between projected demand and supply; new supply costs; lost opportunities for resolving real near-term needs through cost-effective solutions; and a limited ability to deal with criti- cal policy issues that will have significant effect on the state’s ability to sustainably manage its water resources for future generations.
The Shape of Illusion
Authors: Sherk George W.
Published: June 2020

With these words, Colonel Nathan R. Jessep, played by Jack Nicholson in the movie A Few Good Men, expressed his outrage at being caught in a lie. The lie is not relevant to our purposes today. What is relevant is the fact that the truth eventually became known.

As we look to secure water supplies for the future, it is essential that decisions regarding the allocation and management of water resources be based as much as possible on truth, not on illusions created and perpetrated in the name of political expediency. As Col. Jessep could not stand being caught in a lie, future water allocation and management decisions will not stand if they are based on illusion.

This paper addresses three illusions. The following Section focuses on the myth of stationarity. The second Section debunks the assumption that physically available water supplies are also legally available. The third Section addresses the illusion of “state primacy” in the allocation and management of water resources. Conclusions are contained in the final Section, “The Fourth Dimension.”
"Dropping" The Migratory Bird Treaty Act
Authors: Maharaj Sabita
Published: June 2020

Federal law essentially handcuffs residents from protecting their health and their children’s health and severely restricts what they can do to protect their property from MBTA-protected birds. The usefulness of these laws is no longer justifiable. While it is necessary for human enjoyment and the balance of the ecosystem to protect animals, protection should not come at the expense of human health and property use and enjoyment.
A Missed Opportunity
Authors: Brooke Ryan S.
Published: June 2020

Some critics called the uncapped supplemental payments received by predominately rural West Texas school districts prior to 2009 “windfalls.” The result of this one-sided understanding, and subsequently the complete elimination of such agreements between school districts and companies owning qualifying projects, is a handicap to what could be utilized as a valuable tool in filling the current deficit for public school funding. In 2011, the 82nd Texas Legislature appropriated at least $4 billion below what had been the current formula funding level for public education for the 2012-2013 biennium; some estimates had this figure over $5 billion. More recently, in 2013, the 83rd Legislature only returned $3.4 billion to public schools. In a time when funding options are shrinking, why would the Comptroller’s office suggest, and the Legislature pass, caps on incentives that provide additional funding for school districts? This Article will explore the development of public school funding in Texas and the possibility of utilizing the Act as a means of providing additional funding for the public school system while encouraging large-scale capital investment, specifically by renewable energy projects qualifying under Chapter 313 of the Texas Tax Code.
Lookin Beyond the Charitable Trust Debate to Amend, Enforce, or Terminate Conservation Easements
Authors: Clifft Erin M.
Published: June 2020

This Comment will recommend a uniform solution. Conservation easements are a hybrid-law creation, and the solution to modifying and terminating perpetual easements should be a hybrid one as well. The hybrid solution must address, in a holistic manner, the other difficulties surrounding conservation easements, like adaptive land management and enforcement. This Comment will not delve too deeply into the issues surrounding conservation easements and adaptive land management, but will touch on some concerns that might affect the debate over the charitable trust doctrine in the future.
Protecting the Texas Nonprofit Property Tax Exemption
Authors: Hart Marie-Claire
Published: June 2020

This Comment will address the current Texas property tax exemption for nonprofit organizations, its lack of exemption for nonproducing mineral interests, and the potential implications of the lack of such an exemption for nonprofit organizations with otherwise exempt land holdings. Taxation of nonproducing mineral interests held by non-profits has very real policy implications. Should tax assessors choose to pursue this route, it creates serious liabilities on certain nonprofit organizations with large, nonproducing mineral interests under their otherwise tax-exempt property. This Comment proposes that the Texas Legislature create a narrowly tailored extension of the non-profit organization property tax exemption for nonproducing mineral interests attached to otherwise exempt properties.
To Detroiters and Outsiders

Published: June 2020

In order to spark progress in the form of urban farming, a basic understanding of the relevant history, benefits, and laws proves essential. Part II of this Comment introduces the history of urban agriculture in the United States. Part III narrows the historical focus to Detroit before discussing the benefits that accompany urban agriculture, which are essential to Detroit’s survival and potential revival. Finally, Part IV discusses the laws with the most widespread and immediate impact on urban farming in Detroit and reveals the significant role timing plays in starting an urban farm, as changes to the zoning ordinance loom.
Navigating the Winds of Change
Authors: Donley Dennis W. , Potter Stephanie S.
Published: June 2020

The State of Texas leads the United States in wind energy generation capacity—it has more than twice the wind generation capacity of the next-closest state, California. If Texas was an independent nation, it would rank sixth in the world in total installed wind capacity. Texas has a rich history of legislation and regulatory effort to thank for these statistics, which reflects the knowledge that energy and infrastructure drive the economy. Starting in 1999, Texas became one of the first states to enact a Renewable Portfolio Standard (“RPS”). The RPS set a state-wide goal for new renewable energy installation with deadlines for when that goal was to be met. In addition to passing an RPS, Texas also created Competitive Renewable Energy Zones (“CREZs”). CREZs are areas of Texas that have been designated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“PUCT”) to receive special benefits for wind transmission and development due to their strong wind resources and large financial commitments in the region by wind developers. These programs, and several others, have helped the wind industry in Texas grow exponentially to continually reach the goals set out by the RPS long before deadlines arrive. In fact, on a recent day towards the end of March, wind generation accounted for 29% of the electricity used by most Texans.

Published: June 2020

The initial stage of the software development lifecycle is the requirement gathering and analysis phase. Predicting risk at this phase is very crucial because cost and efforts can be saved while improving the quality and efficiency of the software to be developed. The datasets for software requirements risk prediction have been adopted in this paper to predict the risk levels across the software projects and to ascertain the attributes that contribute to the recognized risk in the software projects. A supervised machine learning technique was used to predict the risk across the projects using Naïve Bayes Classifier technique. The model was able to predict the risks across the projects and the performance metrics of the risk attributes were evaluated. The model predicted four (4) as Catastrophic, eleven (11) as High, eighteen (18) as Moderate, thirty-three (33) as Low and seven (7) as insignificant. The overall confusion matrix statistics on the risk levels prediction by the model had accuracy to be 98% with confidence interval (CI) of 95% and Kappa 97%.

Comparative study of ambient air quality of Jalna city was carried using air quality index (AQI). Air pollutants concentration-SO2, NOx, RSPM and NRSPM at residential and industrial sites for years 2016 and 2017 were compared. The monthly, seasonal and annual AQI values determined at both residential and industrial sites for these years. Results suggest better air quality at residential site for the year 2017 than 2016. While at industrial site better air quality was observed for the year 2016 than 2017. Government regulations, effective treatments in industries, appropriate waste disposal helped in minimization of pollution levels. For both the years and at both sites annual mean concentrations of SO2 and NOx were found within the permissible limits of Indian National Ambient Air Quality standards (NAAQS), although for both the years and at both the sites RSPM and NRSPM concentrations were observed above the norms. The annual AQI value at residential site was higher 128 for 2016 compared to 120 for 2017. While at industrial site AQI value 88 was found lower for 2016 compared to higher 126 for the year 2017.

Published: June 2020

The purpose of this study is to investigate the biogas potential from automotive wastewater codigested with Synthetic wastewater treated in anaerobic reactor. This experiment was run by continuously mixed with mechanical Agitator stirring tank reactor and were established under mesophilic condition at temperature of 38°C. The source of inoculum used in this study were obtained from sewage treatment plant. The experiment was analyzed based on COD removal and biogas production in relation with parameters such as pH, organic loading rate, alkalinity and effect of Zinc and Copper which runs on automotive wastewater. From the result obtains, the reactor condition was unstable during mono digestion of automotive wastewater which aligned with indication of decreasing biogas production, low pH value below 6.0 and low COD removal with value of 63.4%. However, the reactors become stable during co digestion of automotive wastewater with Synthetic wastewater with 0.12 g/L/d OLR and with highest methane production 0.140 L of CH4 / day. The findings illustrate the nutrient available in Synthetic wastewater could enhance the synergistic effect in co digestion with automotive wastewater and therefore resulted with the highest COD removal rates.

Published: June 2020

In control engineering system, the PID controller is more prefer compared to the other controller. It very simple and easy to develop. Unfortunately, PID controller exhibit a weakness once spike at wind-up region. The wind-up problem is always happen due to inability of compensator to control the phenomenon. The main cause is created in controller design phase; neglect a nonlinearities dynamic. The issue can be solved by implementation of additional integral feedback compensation in order to minimize the effect of windup situation. The wind-up phenomenon can cause high overshoot, long settling time and loss productivity yield. This objective of this research to improve windup situation using backcomputation method tuning by Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE) tuning rule. The propose ITAEProportional-Integral-Derivative integrated AntiWindup (ITAE-PID-AW) controllers revealed better performances compared to the ITAE-ProportionalIntegral-Derivative (ITAE-PID) controller.
Korporativno upravljanje i ekonomija trećeg puta
Authors: Vinšalek Stipić Valentina
Published: June 2020

Suvremeno globalno okruženje zahtijeva od korporativnog menadžmenta primjenu novih način upravljanja radi ostvarivanja i zadržavanja konkurentske prednosti. Sve interesne skupine moraju imati zajednički cilj kako bi se ostvarilo opće zadovoljstvo. Poduzećima ne smije više jedini cilj biti ostvarivanje profita, nego i boljitak društva u cjelini. Iz navedenih se razloga zagovara koncept ekonomije trećeg puta.
Ekonomija trećeg puta u prvi plan stavlja socijalnu osjetljivost prema široj društvenoj zajednici. To ne podrazumijeva socijalno pomaganje pojedincima, nego stvaranje uvjeta za postizanje veće pravičnosti u pogledu socijalne i ekonomske osjetljivosti, društveno odgovornim poslovanjem i zaštite životne sredine. Nekada su ostvarena visina profita i tržišnog udjela bili jedino mjerilo uspješnosti poslovanja i dobre pozicije poduzeća na tržištu. Međutim u današnje se vrijeme od poduzeća traži ekološka i socijalna osviještenost što se smatra osnovnim
problemom modernog kapitalizma. U skladu s navedenim cilj istraživanja u
ovom radu bio je dobiti saznanja pridaju li i u kolikoj mjeri Hrvatska poduzeća važnost socijalnoj osjetljivosti prema svojim zaposlenicima te koliko su izdavanja za socijalna prava radnika povezana sa ostvarivanjem
neto profitne marže poduzeća. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 53
poduzeća koja su registrirana i posluju na području Republike Hrvatske.
Empirijskim istraživanjem primjenom matematičkih i statističkih metoda (korelacije i regresije) došlo se do zaključka kako su poduzeća svjesna važnosti socijalne osjetljivosti prema svojim zaposlenicima te takvu poslovnu politiku implementiraju u svoje poslovne strategije. Međutim, došlo se do saznanja kako poduzeća iz promatranog uzorka u dovoljnoj mjeri ne financiraju socijalna prava svojih zaposlenika. Postoji pozitivna linearna povezanost s ostvarivanjem neto profitne marže, dok je koeficijent korelacije izrazito mali.

Voyager 2 (V2) crossed the heliopause at 119.0 au on 2018 day 309, after which it observed compressive (longitudinal) magnetic field fluctuations along the average magnetic field direction in the very local interstellar medium (VLISM) at distances from 119.00 to 121.48 au and latitudes 32.°2 to 32.°4 S in heliographic inertial coordinates from 2018 day 309 to 2019 day 230. This result confirms the observations of longitudinal magnetic field fluctuations by Voyager 1 (V1) between 124.14 and 128.71 au at 34.°6N (∼2–7 au upwind of the heliopause) from 2013 day 133 to 2014 day 235. V1 crossed the heliopause at 121.58 au and 34.°5N on 2012 day 238. It came as a surprise to find it seemed that V1 observed transverse (Alfvénic) fluctuations of 
B
between 131.40 and 135.98 au at latitude 34.°6–34.°7N (∼10–14 au upwind of the heliopause) from 2015 day 145 to 2016 day 248. The most recent V1 observations show the possible presence of transverse fluctuations of 
B
in the VLISM from 141.44 to 146.01 au at 34.°7–34.°8N (∼20–24 au from the heliopause) between 2018 day 75 and 2019 day 178. Together, these observations show that longitudinal (compressive) magnetic field fluctuations are transmitted through the heliopause from the heliosheath into the VLISM, and are then converted into transverse (Alfvénic) fluctuations at ∼130 au (∼8 au from the heliopause) that are observed out at 146 au (∼24 au from the heliopause).
Fake Massive Black Holes in the Milli-Hertz Gravitational-wave Band
Authors: Chen Xian , Xuan Ze-Yuan , Peng Peng
Published: June 2020

In gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy accurate measurement of the source parameters, such as mass, relies on accurate waveform templates. Currently, templates are developed assuming that a source, such as a stellar-mass binary black hole (BBH), is residing in a vacuum. However, astrophysical models predict that BBHs could form in gaseous environments, such as common envelopes, stellar cores, and accretion disks of active galactic nuclei. Here we revisit the impact of gas on the GW waveforms of BBHs with a focus on the early inspiral phase when the GW frequency is around milli-Hertz. We show that for these BBHs, gas friction could dominate the dynamical evolution and hence duplicate chirp signals. The relevant hydrodynamical timescale, τ
gas, could be much shorter than the GW radiation timescale, τ
gw, in the above astrophysical scenarios. As a result, the observed chirp mass is higher than the real one by a factor of

if the gas effect is ignored in the data analysis. This kind of error also results in an overestimation of the source distance by a factor of

. By performing matched-filtering analysis in the milli-Hertz band, we prove that the gas-dominated signals are practically indistinguishable from the chirp signals of those more massive BBHs residing in a vacuum environment. Such fake massive objects in the milli-Hertz band, if not appropriately accounted for in the future, may alter our understanding of the formation, evolution, and detection of BBHs.

Accumulation of plutonium extracted from the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) of light water reactors is one of the central problems in nuclear power. To reduce out-of-the-reactor Pu inventory, leading nuclear power countries (France, Japan) use plutonium in light water power reactors in the form of MOX fuel, with half of Pu fissioning in this fuel. The rest of Pu cannot be reused easily and efficiently in light water reactors because of the high content of even isotopes. Plutonium for which there are no potential consumers is accumulated.

Unlike thermal reactors, fast reactors take plutonium of any isotopic composition. That makes it possible to improve plutonium isotopic composition and to reduce the fraction of even isotopes to the level that allows reuse of such plutonium in thermal reactors.

The idea of changing the isotopic composition of Pu in fast reactors is well-known. The originality of the research lies in applying this idea to combine the fuel cycles of fast and thermal reactors. Pu isotopic composition can be improved by combining certain operational activities in order to supply fuel to thermal and fast reactors. Scientific and technological justification of the possibility will let Russian BN technologies and French MOX fuel technologies work in synergy with thermal reactors.
Conceptual issues of the cold filter trap development for the sodium coolant purification in fast-neutron reactors

Published: June 2020

The paper presents the results of studying the peculiarities of heat and mass exchange in cold traps for the sodium purification of impurities in fast reactor circuits both in dedicated test areas simulating various trap components (isothermal sump, nonisothermal sump, filters, final cooling area) and in trap prototype models. As a result, a scientific rationale has been formed for developing traps of a unique design for various reactors. The impurity capacity of the traps is three to four times as high as that of the best foreign counterparts. Tests have shown these to be highly efficient in purifying sodium of oxygen and hydrogen and much less efficient in sodium purification of corrosion products and carbon. Taking into account the leakage of radioactive sodium during operation of the BN-600 reactor primary circuit traps, a decision was made to install the purification system in the reactor tank to improve the safety of the large fast reactor. It was resolved to exclude the accumulation of hydrogen in the primary circuit traps in nominal conditions. Two trap designs, with argon and sodium cooling, are discussed. It has been shown that operation of the reactor purification system with argon cooling will require 20 trap replacements during the reactor operating life and seven replacements if the deposition of hydrogen into the primary circuit cold traps is excluded. The sodium-cooled version of the trap built in the reactor tank has the same overall dimensions as the argon-cooled trap. The cooling sodium circulates in two trains: outside the jacketed working space body (up to 30% of the flow rate) and in the coil inside of the working space (up to 70% of the flow rate). Updates have been proposed to the trap design based on the calculations using the codes simulating the in-trap processes of heat and mass exchange.
Improbables publics

Published: June 2020

Si les publics improbables sont, fondamentalement, des publics faibles, ils nous surprennent aussi – et c’est leur principal cadeau, leur caractère exemplaire. Par un art de la transgression, ils rappellent combien la vie publique est une affaire commune, façonnée par les gens à certains moments, en certains lieux, animés par la lutte et l’imagination, et par la joie de se découvrir les uns les autres. Cet article identifie quatre figures d’agentivité sonique pratiquées par ces improbables publics : l’invisible, l’entendu par-dessus l’épaule, l’itinérant et le faible.

Une approche psychologique du patriarcat ?
Authors: Garrau Marie
Published: June 2020

Après avoir analysé les nombreuses raisons du retour du patriarcat aussi bien dans les slogans féministes que dans le travail théorique, l’autrice s’interroge sur la conception qui en est donnée par le récent livre de Carol Gilligan et Naomi Snider. Le patriarcat impose aux femmes et aux hommes des conduites genrées qui nuisent à la qualité de leurs relations et au développement de la démocratie. Mais il le fait pour nous protéger de nouvelles pertes amoureuses en nous enseignant la distanciation, d’où son efficacité et sa persistance. L’autrice estime qu’il y a beaucoup d’autres dimensions du patriarcat qui ne sont pas prises en compte dans cette perspective psychologique.
La persistance du patriarcat
Authors: Brugère Fabienne
Published: June 2020

Le mouvement des femmes contre les agressions sexuelles pointe la responsabilité du patriarcat, d’un système de classement binaire qui organise la domination des hommes sur les femmes. La sociologie française préfère parler d’une domination masculine, expliquée par la volonté des hommes de s’approprier la fécondité des femmes pour Françoise Héritier, ou de construire un monde de l’entre-soi pour Pierre Bourdieu. Pour Carol Gilligan et Naomi Snider, le patriarcat est une force de hiérarchisation genrée qui s’applique à toutes les relations sociales, mais qui rencontre aujourd’hui une résistance, celle des femmes et celles de toutes les minorités sexuelles.

La politique du « logement d’abord et de lutte contre le sans-abrisme » propose un cadre global de réponse aux problématiques d’accès au logement des personnes à la rue ou hébergées dont environ un tiers souffre d’un trouble psychiatrique. La démarche consiste à proposer d’emblée des solutions durables en visant l’accès le plus direct possible au logement. Ce changement de paradigme par rapport à des réponses polarisées sur l’hébergement s’appuie sur deux leviers principaux, le développement d’une nouvelle offre de logement accompagné, d’une part, le renforcement de l’accompagnement et sa territorialisation, d’autre part. En Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur, ces évolutions produisent déjà des résultats significatifs malgré un contexte particulièrement tendu dans le domaine du logement social.
Un toit, un accompagnement adapté pour le rétablissement
Authors: Lemoine Bernard
Published: June 2020

Les personnes souffrant de troubles psychiques ont de très grandes difficultés à trouver un logement où elles se sentent en sécurité et où elles peuvent vivre en harmonie avec leur environnement. Les parents et proches sont souvent démunis. Un logement avec un accompagnement adapté et un projet de vie élaboré avec le bénéficiaire participent au rétablissement, à l’autonomie et à l’intégration dans la cité des personnes souffrant de troubles psychiques. Le bénéficiaire peut ainsi faire sa vie malgré sa maladie. Différentes solutions existent et nécessitent le soutien actif de toutes les parties prenantes dont, en premier lieu, les élus, les bailleurs sociaux. Plusieurs projets de résidences accueil ont ainsi émergé dans le département de l’Hérault grâce à la mobilisation de l’association Espoir Hérault. D’autres solutions peuvent être également mises en place mais l’accompagnement adapté à chaque résident est une condition déterminante pour un logement durable, l’inclusion dans la cité et le rétablissement.
Contractualiser avec l’Assurance maladie : un chantier parmi d’autres pour les équipes des maisons de santé pluriprofessionnelles
Authors: Bourgeois Isabelle , Fournier Cécile
Published: June 2020

Les principaux enjeux que soulève le développement des maladies chroniques se matérialisent de façon très concrète pour les professionnels de santé du premier recours, par une gestion de prises en charge de plus en plus complexes au moment où, dans certains territoires, de nombreux médecins généralistes partent à la retraite sans succession. Localement, depuis plus d’une dizaine d’années, des professionnels de santé libéraux s’engagent ainsi dans une transformation de leur manière de travailler ensemble au sein de maisons de santé pluriprofessionnelles (MSP). La moitié des équipes engagées dans ces projets contractualisent avec l’Assurance maladie afin de financer leur activité collective, au moyen de l’accord conventionnel interprofessionnel (ACI). Ces transformations engagent les professionnels dans trois types de « chantiers » qu’ils investissent de manière conjointe. Le chantier central est celui de la constitution d’un collectif de santé pluriprofessionnel. Viennent s’y imbriquer les chantiers que représentent, d’une part, l’intégration d’impératifs gestionnaires et, d’autre part, l’invention d’un travail partenarial avec d’autres secteurs d’activité, des élus et des institutions de santé publique. Ces chantiers, qui s’inscrivent dans un temps long, engagent les professionnels dans des négociations et des apprentissages et reposent sur des transformations culturelles et organisationnelles qui s’avèrent fragiles, instables et exposées à de nombreux aléas. Au fil de l’avancée de ces chantiers, la contractualisation avec l’Assurance maladie se présente comme une opportunité parmi d’autres, que certaines équipes rejettent d’emblée, que d’autres aimeraient pouvoir atteindre sans y parvenir et dont d’autres encore hésitent à s’emparer, pesant le pour et le contre au regard de l’organisation et du sens qu’elles donnent à leur travail, au sein d’environnements toujours singuliers.
