Changing Body and Society: A speculative examination of portraiture in Choucair’s non-representational corpus
Authors: SCHEID Kirsten
Published: January 2025

What ways do portraits relate people to aesthetic practices and social configurations when representational and individualizing assumptions that ensue from figurative art cannot be assumed? If social being is not given, an art act might be seen to affect primarily an artist’s relation to the possibility of subjectivity. The idea that the audience of an artwork includes the artist herself raises questions about her self-understanding and social being. Building on my ethnographic research, I conduct a speculative examination of portraiture in relation to the career of Saloua Raouda Choucair towards founding a local art history. To conduct my review, I borrow tools from contemporary art, anachronistically, to demonstrate that we may learn ways of studying from art itself. Tending to the mundane, minute, intermeshed matters of childhood education, daily life, and encounters with audiences, I speculate that Choucair’s abstract sculptures offer “portraits” of becoming, germinations for beings to come.
Portraits de téléspectateurs turcs : enquêter au cœur du quotidien
Authors: ÖZTEMIR Nese
Published: January 2025

Dans le cas de la recherche en SIC, le portrait s’avère être une méthode adaptée pour pénétrer dans le contexte « naturel » de réception et ainsi pour rendre compte de ce qui se passe « autour de » la télévision. En ce sens, la pratique télévisuelle en Turquie constitue un levier intéressant pour étudier la façon dont l’organisation genrée du monde domestique travaille les rituels de réception. Comme le résume Pasquier (1999 : 233), regarder la télévision, c’est vivre une expérience organisée et socialement normée. En s’appuyant sur les portraits individuels, travaillés dans le cadre d’entretiens semi-directifs menés dans 2 foyers à Istanbul, cet article consiste à esquisser comment la pratique télévisuelle en Turquie, qui porte en elle une fonction sociale, s’ajuste ou s’adapte à la dynamique familiale des spectateurs. Pour autant, l’accent est ainsi mis sur la place de la télévision dans la vie quotidienne, et la nature de l’implication ou de la participation des téléspectateurs.
Chouchou, figure gravée dans la mémoire collective du théâtre libanais
Authors: KACHMAR Rawan
Published: January 2025

Chouchou est le surnom de l'artiste libanais Hassan Alâ’ed-dine (1939-1975). Il fonde le théâtre national libanais (1965-1975), premier théâtre quotidien à voir le jour au Liban. Durant dix ans, ce théâtre a produit vingt-six pièces comiques dont Chouchou est le protagoniste permanent. Qui est Chouchou et comment est-il devenu une vedette aux yeux du grand public du théâtre libanais ? Chouchou le beyrouthin au fort accent, le tourbillon aux mouvements extravagants, le sensible au coeur fragile et le rusé aux moustaches distinctives, s’est approprié des caractéristiques physiques, corporelles et langagières ayant fait de lui un personnage typique. Ce dernier, qui fait appel au Karakûz, au Hakawâtiî et qui défend de nombreux traits du personnage de boulevard, deviendra la source artistique principale autour de laquelle la pièce s’adaptera et s’écrira, autour de laquelle la mise en scène se focalisera, et autour de laquelle l’attention du public se centrera. Ce personnage, en fonction de ses rôles et des thématiques des pièces dans lesquelles il joue, attribue à son théâtre un rôle social. Le théâtre de Chouchou a précédé la guerre civile de 1975 ; il s’agit donc de la période qui porte les germes de cette guerre. Les sujets véhiculés par ce théâtre ciblent notamment les préoccupations de la société face à cette situation socio-politique instable. Dans les pièces, plusieurs critiques et reproches sont destinés à la fois au peuple et aux forces politiques, et s’appuient principalement sur le rôle de Chouchou. Grâce à ses caractéristiques lui prodiguant une présence marquante sur scène et un humour irrésistible, Chouchou devient le clown qui, par sa subtilité et sa délicatesse, montre, dévoile et se moque des vices de la société, tout en ayant recours à sa principale fonction : le déclenchement du rire. Avec ce portrait qu’il s’est construit, Chouchou a créé une identité à son jeu ainsi qu’une homogénéité à ses oeuvres, ce qui a fait croitre sa propre signature dans le monde du théâtre libanais. Quels sont donc les traits, les tics et les chemins de ce personnage qui ont fait de lui une figure emblématique du théâtre populaire au Liban ?

Les co-productions algériennes avec l'Europe : standardisation ou résistance ?
Authors: TENFICHE Salima
Published: January 2025

Après plus de vingt ans de silence, le cinéma algérien refait surface surla scène internationale depuis une dizaine d'années, à travers des co-productionsavec l'étranger et notamment avec l'Europe. Le recours aux financementsétrangers et l'adoubement de ces films par les instances de légitimation duNord que constituent les commissions de lecture autant que les festivalsinternationaux les plus prestigieux, posent la question de l'assujettissement deces cinéastes à l'hégémonie culturelle européenne. Or si certains cinéastes etproducteurs algériens se tournent vers les guichets étrangers c'est avant toutpour s'affranchir de la tutelle de l'État et de la censure dans leur propre pays.Loin de se trouver dans une position de subalternes unilatéralement soumis auxreprésentations stéréotypées et aux attentes supposées du public européen,ces cinéastes proposent au contraire dans leurs films des images plurielles dela société algérienne, ancrées dans le temps présent et qui tranchent avec lediscours officiel porté par des épopées de glorification nationale tournées versle passé. Ces co-productions qui débordent le cadre national algérien relèventainsi davantage de stratégies de résistance de cinéastes indépendants que d'unealiénation post-coloniale aux valeurs de l'ex-métropole.
Production locale et coproductions européennes des films d'auteur dans le cinéma turc contemporain
Authors: AHISKALI Hilal
Published: January 2025

Depuis sa naissance, le cinéma turc passant par différentes périodes,a pu avancer vers un cinéma d’auteur. Bien que cela ait pris du temps comparé aucinéma européen, aujourd’hui certains réalisateurs contemporains réussissentà se nourrir de la théorie et de l’esthétique du cinéma européen, mais ausside leur propre culture du cinéma, dit Yeşilçam. Cela est la conséquence deleurs approches cinématographiques, leurs productions indépendantes, ainsique du soutien financier européen. Les sources de production ont permis auxcinéastes turcs de choisir les sujets de leurs films pour travailler leur art, et nonpas pour servir les attentes du grand public. Ainsi, les formes narrativescinématographiques ont trouvé leurs croissances en pleine liberté artistiqueavec les co-productions européennes.
L’adieu hors de tout lieu. L’espace funéraire réinventé par J. Amado, réimaginé par O. Fazwy
Authors: EL-SÉGUINY Dahlia
Published: January 2025

Dans Les deux morts de Quinquin-La-Flotte de Jorge Amado et son adaptation cinématographique égyptienne, Le Paradis des anges déchus d’Ossama Fawzy, les préparatifs des funérailles donnent lieu à une réflexion ironique sur la vie et la mort, et sur la confrontation entre le système de valeurs de la bourgeoisie et celui des marginalisés. Cet article étudie la question des frontières, « réelles » ou virtuelles, entre des espaces narratifs. Il s’appuie sur le concept d’hétérotopie (Michel Foucault) qui offre une réflexion sur la constitution d’un « espace différent » au sein d’un emplacement réel, et sur la notion d’intermédialité (Silvestra Mariniello) qui interroge l’espace conceptuel émergeant entre différents médiums tangents. L’analyse des procédés narratifs et des techniques cinématographiques éclaire la façon dont un espace privé, profane et quotidien se métamorphose en un espace public, sacré et funéraire.
Le cinéma Maghrébin entre traçabilité coloniale et déterminations nationales
Authors: GUEDDIM Malika
Published: January 2025

Cet article s’intéresse au cinéma Maghrébin dans les pays du Maghreb (Algérie, Maroc et Tunisie), depuis l’arrivée du cinéma colonial jusqu’à leur détermination national. Dès la fin de la deuxième guerre mondiale, les autorités coloniales comprennent l’importance du cinéma, à travers les fictions ou les images d’actualité, et l’urgence de créer des centres cinématographiques au Maroc en 1944 et en Tunisie en 1946. L’Algérie considéré comme un département français et non comme un protectorat se voit doter en 1947 d’un service cinématographique du gouvernorat général d’Algérie. Puis arrive la période des indépendances dans laquelle les réalisateurs de ces pays prennent, le contre-pied des stéréotypes véhiculés par le cinéma de l’ex-pays dominateur en mettant en place un cinéma propre à leur identité et à leur culture ainsi qu’à la valorisation de la lutte pour l’indépendance de leurs pays respectifs. Nous allons voir aussi à travers l’analyse d’images de quelques films des deux périodes (coloniale et indépendances) des trois pays, afin de mettre en valeur le travail panégyrique des réalisateurs nationaux qui ont pu grâce à leur productions filmiques, effacer les images stéréotypées de la figure magrébine et de son identité culturelle.

Femmes documentaristes libanaises et héritage des luttes internationalistes (1970-2020)
Authors: ROUXEL Mathilde
Published: January 2025

La défaite de 1967 a incité l’émergence d’une génération de femmes derrière les caméras, Les années 1970 sont aussi de grandes années de luttes de libération nationale, et celles de l’éclatement de la guerre du Liban. Cet article s’intéresse dans un premier temps à la façon dont les réalisatrices libanaises se sont dans ces mêmes années intéressées aux luttes d’autres peuples arabes pour défendre l’idéologie internationaliste qu’elles assumaient dans leur pays. L’écrasement des luttes a au fil des décennies atténué la création d’images de résistance. L’insistance des luttes passées a toutefois marqué les générations ultérieures. Nous interrogerons dans un deuxième temps les nouvelles formes cinématographiques de l’engagement politique, à partir de deux films réalisés au courant des années 2010. Cet aller-retour du passé au présent nous permet de mettre en dialogue deux générations et deux types de construction de documentaire engagé qui se font écho sans en être le miroir l’une de l’autre.

History or Project? The Double Life of Islamic Art Since the 1970s
Authors: YOUSEFI Hamed
Published: January 2025

This article argues that since the 1970s a duality divides the concept of Islamic Art. On the one hand, we have Islamic Art as the subject matter of a modern mode of historical inquiry, invented and developed in the colonial period in Europe but then taken up by scholars from around the world, including Muslim academics. This is the Islamic Art of Islamic Art History as a field of secular scholarship. But then, in the decolonization period, and more pronouncedly since the 1970s, we witness the birth of another concept of Islamic Art that is not focused on the past. This second notion of Islamic Art seeks to envisage Islamic Art as a component of a future-oriented project of reorganizing life under and against modernity. It locates Islamic Art not primarily in historical objects but more importantly at the center of a contemporary “civilizational vision” of Islam. This latter Islamic Art is an explicitly modern project with a professedly social reform agenda. This article explores the challenges that this duality in Islamic Art poses to the discipline of Art History, particularly in terms of the relationship between the two academic fields of Islamic Art and Global Modernism.
“My Government Did This:” Exploring the erasure of the Beirut port wall
Authors: SABRA Lara
Published: January 2025

This paper draws on ethnographic fieldwork to examine the affective and agentive power of graffiti in Beirut after the August 4 Beirut explosion, specifically the graffiti on the port wall: “My government did this.” The paper investigates the whitewashing of the port wall, the erasure of this phrase, and the subsequent policing that took place. I study how graffiti has an emotional or affective hold on civilians and is intrinsically tied to the practice of agency. In short, the paper discusses how graffiti opens a space for the transgression of dominant or hegemonic systems of power.
"This is not an exhibition. And this is not Beirut" A free-format curatorial platform exploring the space of Beirut in the aftermath of the August 4 explosion
Authors: DAHROUJ Philippa
Published: January 2025

This is not an exhibition. is a platform for experimentation in the public spaces of the city through timely interventions in the form of installations, performances, discussions, walks, etc. These interventions aim at questioning and contesting established artistic and curatorial practices by transgressing the normalization of social, political and urban dynamics in the spaces in which they take place and invite the audience to participate in the production of the works. The pilot version of This is not an exhibition. And this is not Beirut, engages with Beirut in the aftermath of the August 4 explosion through artistic interventions taking place in public. In the wake of the explosion, there is a lingering fear of the politics of erasure and the displacement of city residents. Thus, the works produced shed light on the present and the reality of the city, as opposed to projecting an illusory future in which the city’s inhabitants are mere observers of the city’s transformations. The productions presented on this platform are non-representational and engage with the present and reality of the city rather than projecting a unified image. Concocted in the BePublic lab – a timely experimental lab engaging with the social, political and urban dynamics that form the given space – This is not an exhibition. And this is not Beirut in which the produced interventions across different points of the city. Through these works, the audiences are invited to navigate and explore the space of the city across a myriad of contributions, not restricted to a medium or an approach. The multimedia and multidisciplinary platform in the form of a website archives the produced spatial and temporal ruptures in Beirut. By navigating the city, we are able to perceive it in its heterogeneous fragments, instead of a collective and enforced romanticization of the blast. The importance of these works lies in the process through which we allow ourselves to discover the needs of social, economic, political and urban spheres as we frame their ruptures.
Molière chez les hommes de théâtre de la Nahda et Tayeb Saddiki
Authors: KECILI Mahfoud
Published: January 2025

Dans cet article, nous étudions la présence de Molière dans le théâtre de Mārūn al-Naqqāš et dans celui de Tayeb Saddiki. Nous montrons comment al-Naqqāš s’est approprié le théâtre de Molière pour introduire un nouveau genre littéraire dans le monde arabe qui est le théâtre à l’occidentale. Il emploie le comique et la satire du théâtre de Molière comme un outil de réflexion. Dans sa pièce al-Baẖīl, il traite du thème de l’avarice et celui des conflits de générations qu’il expose avec la veine comique et la satire. Ce faisant, il exhorte ses concitoyens à innover dans les arts à partir de l’adab classique et du passé glorieux du monde arabe.La deuxième partie, nous la consacrons à l’appropriation du vécu et de la comédie de Molière par Tayeb Saddiki dans ses deux pièces de théâtre Molière ou pour l’amour de l’humanité et Nous sommes faits pour nous entendre. Dans la première, Saddiki s’approprie la comédie de Molière ainsi que ses personnages pour revivre le patrimoine culturel marocain, revendiquer la pluralité de son pays et surtout combattre l’intégrisme qui a déjà rongé son pays voisin et a fait des victimes, dont son ami Abdelkader Alloula. Dans la deuxième, il traite des relations politico-culturelles entre le Maroc et la France, une pièce dans laquelle la figure de Molière est employée à la fois comme un garant de ces relations et comme un personnage commun aux deux cultures marocaine et française.
Repenser le théâtre d’objets : Témoignages, réflexions et retours d’atelier au Théâtre Tournesol de Beyrouth
Authors: KHAJEHI Yassaman
Published: January 2025

Les manifestations de 2019 dites la Révolution ou thawra, la pandémie liée au Covid, l’explosion du port de Beyrouth, la gravité de la crise économique, les élections législatives de mai 2022, les questions d’immigration et d’émigration trouvent leur place sur la scène contemporaine libanaise. Cette présence très évidente de ces éléments peut nous confirmer une fois encore la réciprocité du théâtre et de la société : une synergie qui devient de moins en moins ressentie sur la scène occidentale. La situation théâtrale et sociétale libanaise offre alors aux études théâtrales des nouvelles pistes de réflexions sur l’interaction sociopolitique et théâtrale. Cette proposition d’article aborde un témoignage réflexif issu d’un workshop de théâtre d’objets au théâtre Tournesol à Beyrouth ainsi que de recherches de terrain sur le théâtre contemporain libanais effectuées en mai 2022. Le texte analyse comment la situation politique et sociétale se retrouve au cœur de la scène contemporaine et comment les préoccupations actuelles se concrétisent à travers des objets lors de la découverte du théâtre d’objets par une jeune génération libanaise.

REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING CHALLENGES IN OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT: A MULTIVOCAL LITERATURE REVIEW PROTOCOL WITH PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Authors: Muhammad Ilyas  , Fazli Rabi  , Nasir Rashid  , Noor ul Islam  , Sahab Ahmad Khan
Published: January 2025

In the dynamic landscape of software development, open source software (OSS) has acquired traction due to its collaborative and transparent nature. In OSS, source code of the software is accessible to users under a copyright license. The license allows the users to examine, improve, alter and distribute the software either in modified or unmodified form. Richard Stallman, programmer at MIT, presented the idea of making source code freely accessible in the year 1983, from an ideological movement. Users must accept the conditions of a license before the use of OSS. Requirement engineering (RE) is the process of gathering requirements statements, along with the documentation and analysis for a project. Requirements that are insufficient, unclear, inconsistent, and incomplete, may adversely affect software development. In OSS, requirements emerge through online conversations, as well as discussions evolve continually in different online forums and emails. Requirements’ gathering is a complex process and its practitioners may face different challenges while practicing it. A Multivocal literature review (MLR) will be conducted to find out challenges, success factors, and practices/solutions for the identified challenges in RE process of OSS. This research will help academic researcher, OSS practitioners and managers to improve RE process, leading to more efficient, effective and successful software applications.

A STUDY OF ECOLOGICAL ELEMENTS IN AN URDU TRANSLATION OF THE DRAMA EIDIPUS REX
Authors: Mufeeda Bibi  , Dr. Farhat Jabeen Virk
Published: January 2025

"Oedipus Rex" is a world-renowned tragedy drama originating from Greece. In terms of tone, it is a tragedy based on the rebellion of human nature and sexual imbalance. Various studies on this play have emerged, among which social and psychological studies are the most prominent. Due to the uniqueness of the play's theme, it has been translated into several languages, including Urdu. Regarding the study of drama and translation, it appears that there has been no sound study on the environmental elements presented in the play. Based on this point, this paper presents a study on the reflection of environmental elements in an Urdu translation of the drama.
PREDICTING COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF STEEL FIBERS REINFORCED CONCRETE INCORPORATING SILICA FUME USING MACHINE LEARNING MODELS
Authors: Aalia Faiz  , Fakhar Imam  , Shimza Jamil  , Zubair Wasif , Ahmer Iqbal
Published: January 2025

Concrete is the most commonly used construction material around the world. As the compression strength of concrete goes up, the brittleness of the concrete matrix increases, hence terming it as a quasi-brittle material. This issue can be solved by the addition of steel fibers in the concrete mixture, which improve the post-peak load carrying mechanism of the concrete. Hence it becomes important to find the compressive strength of such improved concrete composites.  In this study, a comprehensive dataset was developed by combining the findings from 17 research papers, which consisted of 8 participation variables, and compressive strength as the output variable. Three machine learning models were developed, i.e., Artificial Neural Network (ANN), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Random Forest (RF). It was observed that ANN model exhibited the highest value of R2 among the three models, i.e., R2=0.9941. To check the issue of overfitting in the best performing model, K-Fold Cross Validation technique was applied with five folds, which returned the average value of R2 as 0.9665, so validating the efficacy of the ANN model. In the last step, predictive equations were derived for the compressive strength calculation, as they eliminate the need for the model’s foundation file and hence enhance the significance of the research project.

IMPACT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS ON SOCIAL BEHAVIOR AMONG HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS: A STUDY OF AGGRESSION AND PROSOCIALITY
Authors: Muzamil Hussain Al Hussaini  , Dr Muhammad Shah  , Dr Maryam Gul
Published: January 2025

This quantitative study examines the relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and social behaviour, focusing on aggression and prosociality, among higher secondary school students. A stratified random sample of 381 students was selected using Yamane's formula. A self-administered questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was employed to collect data. Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between SES and social behaviour, indicating that students from lower SES backgrounds exhibited higher aggression and lower prosociality. The findings suggest that SES plays a critical role in shaping social behaviour among adolescents. The study's implications highlight the need for targeted interventions to promote positive social behaviour and address the socio-economic disparities in educational settings.

This research explores the tourism potential of Lake Love in Jayapura, Papua Province, with an emphasis on the crucial role of natural tourism in the country's tourism industry. While the uniqueness of this destination attracts interest, its development represents several challenges that require special attention. The first main obstacle is the need for environmental maintenance, because the beauty of Lake Cinta is very dependent on the preservation of the surrounding environment, where a lack of maintenance can reduce its tourist attraction. The second barrier covers local economic and development potential, requiring effective management to maximize economic benefits for local communities, including the development of tourism infrastructure. The lack of tourism promotion is an additional obstacle, requiring greater efforts to increase the visibility of Jayapura City as an attractive destination in Indonesia, which has the potential to increase tourist visits. This research aims to design a strategy for developing Love Lake tourism in Jayapura and identify obstacles and challenges in developing Love Lake tourism in Jayapura. The method used is a descriptive analysis approach.

PENERAPAN ASAS TRANSITOIR ATAU ASAS LEX FAVOR REO PADA PELAKU TINDAK PIDANA YANG DIVONIS PIDANA MATI SAAT PERALIHAN KUHP
Authors: Nurdin Mochamad Febrian
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
At the beginning of 2023, Indonesia officially passed its new Criminal Code, namely Law No. 01 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. Although this New Criminal Code has been passed in January 2023, this New Criminal Code does not immediately take effect, but is valid from 3 years after its promulgation, so that everyone knows about it (Article 624 of the New Criminal Code). At the time the new penal code was passed, it was a coincidence that Indonesia was in the midst of a major case involving a former police general who was sentenced to death in a court of first instance. So that raises questions among the public about whether the New Criminal Code can be an obstacle to the execution of death row criminals. Because of this, the author takes the formulation of the problem: 1) What is the difference from the Transitoir Principle or the Lex Favor Reo Principle in the Old Criminal Code and the New Criminal Code? 2) What is the juridical analysis of criminal offenders sentenced to death during the transition process from the old Criminal Code to the new Criminal Code? This research uses normative juridical, with a statutory approach.
Keywords: Transitoir Principle, Lex Favor Reo Principle, Death Penalty, New Criminal Code.
 
ABSTRAK
Pada awal bulan 2023 kemarin, Indonesia secara resmi mengsahkan KUHP nya yang baru yakni UU No. 01 Tahun 2023 Tentang Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana. Meskipun KUHP Baru ini telah disahkan pada Januari 2023, akan tetapi KUHP Baru ini tidak serta merta langsung berlaku, akan tetapi berlaku terhitung sejak 3 tahun setelah diundangkannya, agar setiap orang mengetahuinya (Pasal 624 KUHP Baru). Pada saat KUHP Baru ini disahkan, merupakan suatu kebetulan di Indonesia sedang dilanda kasus besar yang melibatkan mantan jendral polisi yang divonis pidana mati pada pengadilan tingkat pertama. Sehingga hal tersebut menimbulkan pertanyaan dikalangan masyarakat tentang apakah KUHP Baru bisa menjadi penghalang bagi eksekusi pidana mati pelaku tindak pidana. Karena hal tersebut maka penulis mengambil rumusan masalah: 1) Apa Perbedaan Dari Asas Transitoir atau Asas Lex Favor Reo Yang Ada Pada KUHP Lama dan KUHP Baru? 2) Bagaimana Analisis Yuridis Terhadap Pelaku Tindak Pidana Yang Divonis Pidana Mati Pada Saat Proses Peralihan dari KUHP Lama ke KUHP Baru? Penelitian ini menggunakan yuridis normatif, dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan.
Kata kunci: Asas Transitoir, Asas Lex Favor Reo, Pidana Mati, KUHP Baru.

Artikel ini menggunakan metode Penelitian Normatif, artinya meneliti secara doktrinal dengan literatur dan buku-buku dari segi perspektif normatif  hukum, yang berguna memberikan pengetahuan tambahan tentang informasi, dan gambaran umum mengenai apa yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini. Dari penelitian ini dapat kita simpulkan bahwa hukuman mati bagi bandar narkotika merupakan suatu langkah yang terbaik dari penegakan hukum, disebabkan tanpa adanya suatu pengendalian dan pengawasan yang extra ketat, maka penyalahgunaan peredaran narkotika yang dilakukan oleh bandar-bandar akan merugikan dan menimbulkan bahaya yang sangat besar bagi kehidupan berbangsa, dan bernegara. Dan hendaknya pemerintah melakukan upaya pencegahan penyalahgunaan dan peredaran narkotika dengan melakukan sosialisasi tentang narkotika ke masyarakat, karena potensi penyalahgunaan dan peredaran narkotika merupakan ancaman nyata yang perlu segera di berantas.

Insecticides may facilitate the escape of weeds from biological control
Authors: Rowen Elizabeth K. , Pearsons Kirsten Ann , Smith Richard G. , Wickings Kyle , Tooker John F.
Published: January 2025

Background

Preventative pesticide seed treatments (hereafter preventative pest management or PPM) are common corn and soybean treatments, and often include both fungicides and neonicotinoid insecticides. While PPM is intended to protect crops from soil-borne pathogens and early season insect pests, these seed treatments may have detrimental effects on biological control of weed seeds by insects.

Methods

Here, in two 3-year corn-soy rotations in Pennsylvania USA, we investigated a PPM approach to insect management compared to an integrated pest management approach (IPM) and a “no (insect) pest management” (NPM) control. This was crossed with a grass cover crop to see if this conservation practice can help recover the ecosystem services affected by chemical pest management practices. We hypothesized that PPM and IPM approaches would release weed seeds from biological control by insects but cover crops would increase biological control. We measured the effect of these treatments on the weed-seed bank, mid-season weed biomass, granivorous insect activity-density, and weed-seed predation.

Results

We found that, contrary to our hypothesis, planting a cover crop decreased carabid activity-density without consistent differences in weed-seed predation. Pest management and cover crop treatments also had inconsistent effects on the weed-seed bank and mid-season weed biomass, but insecticide use without a cover crop increased the biomass of likely glyphosate-resistant marestail (Erigeron canadensis L.) at the end of the trial. Our results suggest that reducing insecticide use may be important when combating herbicide-resistant weeds. We found planting cover crops and/or avoiding the use of insecticides may combat these problematic weeds.
Thermal ecology of the Mexican Garter Snake (Thamnophis eques): temporal and spatial variations
Authors: Venegas-Barrera Crystian S. , Sunny Armando , Manjarrez Javier
Published: January 2025

Heterogeneous environments provide different daily and seasonal thermal conditions for snakes, resulting in temporal and spatial variations in body temperature (Tb). This study analyzes the Tb of Thamnophis eques in the forest and grassland of a Mexican locality through daily and seasonal profiling. The patterns were obtained from seminatural enclosures in the field with a point sampling strategy to analyze temporal and spatial variations in Tb. The variation of Tb throughout the day was correlated with air and substrate temperatures, both in the grassland and in the forest. The average Tb in the grassland was 0.88 °C greater than in the forest. Our results indicate that T. eques showed differences in Tb between grassland and forest, principally in late spring and early summer during the early rise and late plateau phases, coinciding with the presence of foliage on the willow trees present in the study area, while in late summer and early autumn, the Tb was similar when willow trees canopy cover was absent (May–September). Our results support the hypothesis that the Tb of snakes differ between forests when the willows have leaves and is similar when canopy cover is equivalent, in this case, when tree canopy cover was absent. Our results also shown that T. eques presented daily and seasonal warming patterns similar to other Arizona populations and like those of other northern Gartersnakes. However, this result may not be valid for the entire wide distribution and consequent diversity of habitats of T. eques. The information of Tb in T. eques through daily and seasonal profiles in different habitats could aid in understanding the effects of environmental conditions on the ecological strategies deployed by snakes on habitat selection.
Common insect pests in homes and cultural heritage sites

Published: January 2025

Insect pests represent a threat to the integrity of historic buildings and homes, causing serious losses and irreversible damage. These pests can cause extensive damage to organic materials, including wood, textiles, and paper. Beetles, termites, booklice, moths, and cockroaches are just some of the main insect pests that are frequently found in historic buildings and homes. Beetle species such as the furniture beetle and the powderpost beetle are well recognised for their capacity to infest and feed on wood. Termite infestations can remain undetected and cause considerable damage that may even lead to the complete destruction of a building’s structural integrity. Cloth moth larvae are known to damage textiles, including carpets, furniture, clothes, and tapestries. Some wood-destroying species of cockroaches have the potential to harm historic buildings. Booklice have the ability to eat cellulose fibres found in archived articles and artefacts stored in heritage buildings, causing deterioration and damage to documents over time. This article reviews the literature and presents an overview of the major insect pests belonging to five known orders Coleoptera, Blattodea, Lepidoptera, Zygentoma (long-tailed silverfish) and Psocoptera, which pose a threat to households, museums, depositories, libraries, and cultural heritage buildings. We also discuss their biology, their impact on human health, and the various potential approaches to identifying them.
Emotional Practice in Old English Literature
Authors: Jorgensen Alice
Published: January 2025

An examination of how emotions were practised and performed through Old English texts.
Scholarship is increasingly interested in investigating concepts of emotion found in Old English literature. This study takes the next step, arguing that both heroic and religious texts were vehicles for emotional practice - that is, for doing things with emotion.

Using case studies from heroic poetry (Beowulf, The Battle of Brunanburh and The Battle of Maldon), religious poetry (Christ I and Christ III) and homilies (selections from the Vercelli Book, Blickling Homilies and the works of Wulfstan), it shows via detailed close readings that texts could be used to act out emotional styles, manage the emotions arising from specific events, and negotiate relationships both within social groups and with God. Meanwhile, a chapter on the Old English Boethius explores how the control of unruly emotions is theorized as the transfer of attachment from the things of this world to the things of the divine.

Overall, the volume offers new angles on the social functions of genres and questions of reception and performance; and it gives insight into how early medieval people used emotions to relate to their world, temporal and eternal.
Charles Villiers Stanford: Man and Musician
Authors: Dibble Jeremy
Published: January 2025

Substantially revised and expanded edition that sheds new light on Stanford's career as composer, conductor and teacher, as well as promoter of opera in English and arranger of Irish folk music.

The Anglo-Irish composer Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) is often remembered as the teacher of many of Britain's first generation of twentieth-century composers. He was, however, a composer of great diversity. An enthusiastic composer for the theatre and opera house, he was a symphonist, songwriter, and composer of church music; his national, indeed, international reputation was also reflected in the many works he wrote for some of the most prominent virtuosi of the time. Driven by a strong sense of ambition, he sought to advance the cause of British music not only as a composer but as a university professor, practical musician and conductor. Pre-eminent in the 1880s and 90s, he was eclipsed by Elgar during the Edwardian years, but his creative powers continued unabated until the early 1920s.

As the author of a wide range of musical works, which we are now able to experience through more live performances, broadcasts and recordings (the latter has expanded exponentially since the first edition of this book), we are now aware of the composer's greater musical achievements, particularly in the province of opera. This expanded and revised edition offers new musical and biographical discussion drawing on a wider range of primary and secondary sources. It brings new insights to Stanford's life as performer, conductor and teacher/author at Cambridge and the RCM, as well as an arranger and editor of Irish folk music. Another emphasis in this revised edition is Stanford's lifelong aspiration to promote opera in English and the establishment of an English National Opera in London. Stanford's politics, particularly his opposition to Gladstonian Liberalism and to Home Rule for Ireland, also receive rightful discussion within the context of his creative output.
