How Can We Adopt the Glucose Tolerance Test to Facilitate Predicting Pregnancy Outcome in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus?
Authors: Kim Kyeong Jin , Kim Nam Hoon , Choi Jimi , Kim Sin Gon , Lee Kyung Ju
Published: October 2021

Background: We investigated how 100-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results can be used to predict adverse pregnancy outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients.Methods: We analyzed 1,059 pregnant women who completed the 100-g OGTT between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation. We compared the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes according to OGTT patterns by latent profile analysis (LPA), numbers to meet the OGTT criteria, and area under the curve (AUC) of the OGTT graph. Adverse pregnancy outcomes were defined as a composite of preterm birth, macrosomia, large for gestational age, low APGAR score at 1 minute, and pregnancy-induced hypertension.Results: Overall, 257 participants were diagnosed with GDM, with a median age of 34 years. An LPA led to three different clusters of OGTT patterns; however, there were no significant associations between the clusters and adverse pregnancy outcomes after adjusting for confounders. Notwithstanding, the risk of adverse pregnancy outcome increased with an increase in number to meet the OGTT criteria (P for trend=0.011); odds ratios in a full adjustment model were 1.27 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72 to 2.23), 2.16 (95% CI, 1.21 to 3.85), and 2.32 (95% CI, 0.66 to 8.15) in those meeting the 2, 3, and 4 criteria, respectively. The AUCs of the OGTT curves also distinguished the patients at risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes; the larger the AUC, the higher the risk (P for trend=0.007).Conclusion: The total number of abnormal values and calculated AUCs for the 100-g OGTT may facilitate tailored management of patients with GDM by predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Erster Nachweis der Solitärbienenart Colletes halophilus Verhoeff,
1944 in Schleswig-Holstein (Hymenoptera: Colletidae)
Authors: Klammer Jorinde , Povel Monika , Kuhlmann Michael
Published: October 2021

Die an der Küste endemische Seidenbienenart Colletes halophilus Verhoeff, 1944
konnte 2015 erstmals am Deich der Eidermündung (Nordfriesland) für Schles-
wig-Holstein nachgewiesen werden. In 2017 konnte zusätzlich in Salzwiesen vor
St. Peter-Ording eine Population ausfindig gemacht werden. Bisher gab es für
Deutschland lediglich Funde an der Küste Niedersachsens und den vorgelagerten
Inseln. Die Neufunde werden im Kontext der Gesamtverbreitung von C. halophilus
und dem Vorkommen ihrer bevorzugten Pollenquelle, der Strandaster (Aster
tripolium), diskutiert.

Eine solche Nachweishäufigkeit ist bisher in der Literatur nicht beschrieben.
Occurence of Caelifera larvae depending on zoogenic disturbances
Authors: Krütgen Jörn
Published: October 2021

Mit Hilfe von Transekterfassungen wurde die Zahl an Caelifera-Larven auf 12
Probeflächen im Kreis Segeberg, Schleswig-Holstein ermittelt. Bei den Flächen
handelte es sich um 7 junge, eingezäunte Aufforstungen, eine gleichaltrige, un -
gezäunte Aufforstung sowie 4 von wildlebenden Huftieren (insbes. Damhirsch)
beäste Sukzessionsflächen. Während die den Huftieren zugänglichen Flächen re -
gelmäßig Störstellen (Offenboden) durch Wühlen oder Vertritt aufwiesen, fehlten
diese in den gezäunten Flächen fast vollständig. Störstellen gingen hier auf den
Einsatz von Maschinen oder das Wirken von Kleinsäugern oder Ameisen zurück.
Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse zeigen, dass auf den gezäunten Flächen deutlich we-
niger Larven gefunden werden konnten. Eine mögliche Erklärung hierfür ist der
Mangel an Störstellen wodurch zum einen Reproduktionsstätten, zum anderen
mikroklimatische Gunsträume für Caelifera-Larven fehlten.

La relación entre estética y ficción en La vida breve de Juan Carlos Onetti
Authors: SÖRSTAD FREDRIK
Published: October 2021

El objetivo de este artículo es realizar una investigación de la relación entre estética y ficción en la novela La vida breve (1950) de Juan Carlos Onetti. La metodología se postula con base en dos estudios fundamentales sobre teorías de la ficción, Teorías de la ficción literaria (1997) de Antonio Garrido Domínguez y Poética de la ficción (1993) de José María Pozuelo Yvancos, y se enfoca en las particularidades de la ficción literaria. Tradicionalmente, las teorías de la ficción se han desarrollado en las áreas de la filosofía, la lingüística y la literatura. Al revisar los estudios previos sobre el tema propuesto, se constata que, si bien existen análisis, la ficción no ocupa el centro de la atención (no es el tema principal). Finalmente, en el desarrollo de la investigación, se revela en qué sentido La vida breve es una novela metaficcional y cómo Onetti se inscribe en una tradición de escritores como Cervantes, Borges y Cortázar, entre otros.
El otro Arguedas: la figura del traductor
Authors: MANCOSU PAOLA
Published: October 2021

Este artículo reconstruye la figura de José María Arguedas, traductor (1911-69), centrándose sobre todo en la década de los 60 en la que publicó Dioses y hombres de Huarochirí (1966). A través de esta traducción, Arguedas alcanzó el ápice de un trabajo traductológico incesante que, sin embargo, ha permanecido opacado bajo la doble imagen del antropólogo y del escritor. A diferencia de su obra narrativa y antropológica, que continúa suscitando mucha atención por parte de la crítica, son todavía escasos los estudios dedicados a analizar su perfil como traductor. Dentro del campo de los estudios del traductor y a través de un análisis diacrónico de los paratextos que acompañaron la traducción del manuscrito de Huarochirí, este ensayo restituye una instantánea del Arguedas traductor y analiza su posicionamiento político e ideológico, su imagen pública y su auto-representación, sus actitudes hacia la traducción y las redes sociales que impulsaron su labor como traductor.
Allium negianum (Amaryllidaceae): a new species under subg. Rhizirideum from Uttarakhand Himalaya, India
Authors: Pandey Anjula , Rai K. Madhav , Malav Pavan Kumar , Rajkumar S.
Published: October 2021

A new species, Allium negianum (Amaryllidaceae), belongs to the genus Allium subg. Rhizirideum, sect. Eduardia is described here from the Uttarakhand Himalayan region of India. This taxon grows in Malari region of Niti valley in Chamoli district and Dharma valley of Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand, India. It is a narrowly distributed species and morphologically more closer to A. przewalskianum Regel but differentiated by its tunic color of bulb, umbel with lax flowers, peduncle length, perigone colour, size and shape and leaf anatomy. Taxonomic delineation and relationship analysis based on nuclear ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS) region indicated that A. negianum is distinct and related to A. przewalskianum. This study provided a comprehensive description and comparison with A. przewalskianum, an identification key and notes on the distribution of the species.
Le dispositif de vidéo-feedback en protection de l’enfance. Un outil pour stimuler la fonction réflexive des assistants familiaux et des parents naturels
Authors: Simon-Herrera Pauline , Duriez Nathalie
Published: October 2021

L’enfant placé a souvent vécu des traumatismes qui ont impacté sa capacité à réguler ses émotions dans les relations interpersonnelles. Afin d’aider les assistants familiaux et les parents à mieux s’ajuster à l’enfant ont été instaurés des temps d’observation dans les conditions naturelles des interactions adulte-enfant qui ont été enregistrés en vidéo. Le vidéo-feedback a ensuite été utilisé avec chacun des adultes. L’exemple de Matthias montre comment ce dispositif a permis aux parents d’identifier les conséquences de leur comportement sur leur enfant. L’exercice a été plus difficile pour l’assistante familiale davantage centrée sur ses besoins.
Récits et contre-récits dans le droit. Usages et critiques du narrativisme juridique dans la Critical Race Theory
Authors: Saada Julie
Published: October 2021

Mobilisé par la Critical Race Theory comme par certaines études féministes, le legal storytelling constitue une forme d’écriture spécifique du droit, une critique sociale et une épistémologie. Parce qu’il décrit des expériences subjectives vécues par un narrateur incarné, ce type de récit introduit dans les études juridiques des récits d’expériences singulières visant à montrer la manière dont le droit construit et reproduit les hiérarchies de genre et de race en décrivant les effets de ce droit sur des individus singuliers. Le procédé vise à déstabiliser l’apparence de rationalité du droit, à dénoncer la façon dont l’abstraction du langage juridique est associée à la reproduction de dominations et à offrir une critique située proche du standpoint . S’appuyant sur plusieurs récits (Susan Estrich, Martha Mahoney, Patricia Williams et Abrams Kathryn), l’article dégage les enjeux juridiques et épistémologiques du legal storytelling dans la Critical Race Theory .
Certitude et impunité : sur une photo d’Abou Ghraib
Authors: Astor Dorian
Published: October 2021

Cet extrait de La passion de l’incertitude (2020) est une libre méditation sur un cliché célèbre : en 2003, dans la prison d’Abou Ghraib (Irak), des soldats américains se prennent en photo tandis qu’ils torturent un Irakien, lequel se radicalisera par la suite pour devenir djihadiste. On y interroge la structure symbolique qui garantit à des individus ordinaires la certitude de l’impunité, et la possibilité que la figure paternelle de la Loi morale (État de droit ou Dieu de justice) autorise elle-même l’acte radicalement illégal et immoral de ses fils, sous ses yeux ou dans son dos.
Les déterminants de la construction d’une offre culturelle de territoire
Authors: Régent Benoît , Favre-Bonté Véronique , Da Fonseca Marie
Published: October 2021

Le développement de projets culturels de territoire apparaît comme un élément de différenciation et d’accroissement de l’attractivité (Plaza, 2000). Cependant, les conditions de développement et de réussite de ces projets semblent être différentes selon qu’il s’agisse de territoires urbains ou ruraux, or ces derniers restent encore peu étudiés (Delfosse, 2015 ; Férérol, 2017). Afin de comprendre le processus de développement d’un projet culturel de territoire de montagne et d’identifier les pratiques managériales à l’œuvre, nous proposons de mobiliser un cadre théorique issu du management : la théorie des ressources. À partir de l’étude de deux cas nous montrons que le développement de projet culturel de territoire est un processus complexe qui nécessite la mobilisation certes d’un large écosystème d’acteurs mais surtout de ressources ; ressources qui doivent être valorisées par les acteurs à des moments bien précis, au fil du projet.

Shrinking targets for the geodesic flow on geometrically finite hyperbolic manifolds
Authors: Kelmer Dubi , Oh Hee
Published: October 2021

Let \begin{document}$ \mathscr{M} $\end{document} be a geometrically finite hyperbolic manifold. We present a very general theorem on the shrinking target problem for the geodesic flow, using its exponential mixing. This includes a strengthening of Sullivan's logarithm law for the excursion rate of the geodesic flow. More generally, we prove logarithm laws for the first hitting time for shrinking cusp neighborhoods, shrinking tubular neighborhoods of a closed geodesic, and shrinking metric balls, as well as give quantitative estimates for the time a generic geodesic spends in such shrinking targets.
iEnhancer-MFGBDT: Identifying enhancers and their strength by fusing multiple features and gradient boosting decision tree

Enhancer is a non-coding DNA fragment that can be bound with proteins to activate transcription of a gene, hence play an important role in regulating gene expression. Enhancer identification is very challenging and more complicated than other genetic factors due to their position variation and free scattering. In addition, it has been proved that genetic variation in enhancers is related to human diseases. Therefore, identification of enhancers and their strength has important biological meaning. In this paper, a novel model named iEnhancer-MFGBDT is developed to identify enhancer and their strength by fusing multiple features and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT). Multiple features include k-mer and reverse complement k-mer nucleotide composition based on DNA sequence, and second-order moving average, normalized Moreau-Broto auto-cross correlation and Moran auto-cross correlation based on dinucleotide physical structural property matrix. Then we use GBDT to select features and perform classification successively. The accuracies reach 78.67% and 66.04% for identifying enhancers and their strength on the benchmark dataset, respectively. Compared with other models, the results show that our model is useful and effective intelligent tool to identify enhancers and their strength, of which the datasets and source codes are available at https://github.com/shengli0201/iEnhancer-MFGBDT1.
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)-Assisted Detection of Rock Outcrops in Appalachian Hardwood Forests
Authors: Smith Walter H. , Mullins Caleb Z.
Published: October 2021

The identification of small habitat features embedded within forest ecosystems is a challenge for many wildlife inventory and monitoring programs, especially for those involving rock outcrop specialist taxa. Rock outcrops are often difficult to remotely detect in dense Appalachian hardwood forests, as most outcrops remain hidden under the forest canopy and therefore invisible when relying on aerial orthoimagery to pinpoint habitat features. We investigated the ability for light detection and ranging point cloud data to identify small rock outcrops during the environmental assessment phase of a proposed management project on the Jefferson National Forest in Virginia. We specifically compared this approach with the visual identification of rock outcrops across the same area using aerial orthoimagery. Our light detection and ranging-based approach identified three times as many rock outcrop sites as aerial orthoimagery, resulting in the field verification of four times as many previously unknown populations of green salamanders Aneides aeneus (a rock outcrop specialist amphibian of high conservation concern) than would have been possible if relying on aerial orthoimagery alone to guide surveys. Our results indicate that light detection and ranging-based methods may provide an effective, efficient, and low-error approach that can remotely identify below-canopy rock outcrops embedded within Appalachian forests, especially when researchers lack pre-existing knowledge of local terrain and the location of habitat features.
Discours du tourisme diasporique : l’exemple d’une visite louisianaise en Acadie
Authors: Bruce Clint , Urbain Emilie
Published: October 2021

Cet article examine les discours relevant du tourisme diasporique à l’occasion du Congrès Mondial Acadien 2019 tenu au Nouveau-Brunswick et à l’Ile-du-Prince-Edouard (Canada). Les Congrès mondiaux sont l’occasion de réunir des membres de la diaspora acadienne, une minorité ethnique et linguistique originaire de l’Est du Canada dispersée dans plusieurs régions du continent Nord-Américain et dans le monde. En particulier, nous examinons les expériences vécues des membres d’une délégation venue de la Louisiane lors de ce « retour » sur la terre de leurs ancêtres. Les processus d’identification diasporique dont témoignent leurs discours reposent à la fois sur des « moments » où la distance mémorielle et géographique s’efface lors de visites patrimoniales, sur la reconnaissance d’éléments doxiques d’une identité partagée qui permet de se sentir chez soi chez l’autre et sur la volonté de transformer les liens symboliques qui unissent la diaspora en partenariats économiques transnationaux.
Les corps en jeu dans les guides de voyage
Authors: Vergopoulos Hécate
Published: October 2021

Le corps est une composante essentielle du tourisme. Comment les guides de voyage en parlent-ils ? Quels sont les corps qui y sont en jeu ? Comment sont-ils présentés et représentés, convoqués ou seulement suggérés ? Qu’en dit-on et aussi que n’en dit-on pas ? Cette contribution a vocation à apporter des éléments de réponse à ces questions en procédant à une analyse sémio-discursive de guides de court séjour de New York. Elle tâche de montrer l’importance du corps du lecteur dans la pratique d’espace, mais aussi de qualifier plus avant celui du voyageur en distinguant bien le corps-sensation et le corps-mouvement afin d’étudier les relations entre les deux.
Entre éloge et blâme : polyphonie et critique du tourisme dans Lanzarote et Plateforme de Michel Houellebecq
Authors: Delaitre  Carole
Published: October 2021

Cet article analyse la représentation du tourisme de masse dans deux romans de Michel Houellebecq, Lanzarote (2000) et Plateforme (2001), et montre que sous la fascination avouée des personnages pour le tourisme se cache en fait une dénonciation sévère de l’industrie touristique, et notamment des discours du tourisme. En mettant en scène des protagonistes eux-mêmes touristes mais qui font preuve de distance critique par rapport à leur propre pratique et celle de leurs congénères, Houellebecq dévoile la séduction qu’exercent les genres routiniers (catalogues de vacances et guides touristiques) sur les touristes et dénonce leurs motivations économiques et leurs fausses promesses par le recours à l’ironie, la stéréotypie, le pastiche et la parodie. Cette polyphonie discursive permet à Houellebecq d’offrir un portrait de l’industrie touristique qui semble sans cesse hésiter entre la fascination et la critique, l’éloge et le blâme.
Migration chinoise et compétitions urbaines à Dakar
Authors: Guèye Cina
Published: October 2021

Au croisement de la sociologie urbaine et de la sociologie économique, cet ouvrage se focalise sur la compétition dans l’espace urbain dakarois entre différentes catégories d’acteurs : Chinois déterritorialisés évoluant dans l’activité commerciale et jeunes cordonniers et commerçants de rue locaux. Ces acteurs d’une mondialisation « par le bas », travaillant discrètement dans l’espace public, bousculent les hiérarchies imposées par la société salariale en participant à la constitution de nouveaux ordres économiques, sociaux, établissant ainsi de nouvelles relations de pouvoir. Cette recherche invite également au dépassement des poncifs habituels sur ces acteurs économiques locaux – désignés par les expressions péjoratives « baol-baol », « kaw-kaw » – à travers l’intérêt accordé à la variété de leurs compétences, à la diversité de leurs parcours, aux identités sociales et professionnelles. L’ouvrage s’adresse notamment aux chercheurs en sciences sociales intéressés par les formes prises par la « mondialisation non hégémonique » dans le contexte africain et par la petite production marchande urbaine et ses évolutions récentes.
Gestion de l’eau, grands travaux et pouvoir politique dans le monde mycénien
Authors: Orgeolet Raphaël
Published: October 2021

Cet article, au-delà des problématiques techniques qui dominent la production scientifique sur le sujet, aborde les aspects politiques de la maîtrise de l’eau dans le monde mycénien. L’examen des données archéologiques montre un écart très important entre les aménagements domestiques et civils, qui demeurent très modestes, et la démesure d’installations manifestement commanditées et construites par des entités étatiques. Au centre de ces problèmes réside la délimitation des contours de l’État mycénien et de l’étendue de ses prérogatives, que la question de l’eau doit permettre d’aider à définir.
Springs, sanctuaries and aqueducts in the Ilissos Valley, Attica, and the enchanting scenery in Plato’s dialogue Phaedrus
Authors: D. Chiotis Eustathios
Published: October 2021

Dès le milieu du XIXe siècle, certains érudits ont essayé d’identifier la route et les lieux mentionnés dans le dialogue de Platon, Phèdre, à travers la promenade du philosophe le long de l’Ilissos à Athènes. L’article passe en revue les interprétations anciennes sur le sujet tout en prenant en compte les récentes découvertes archéologiques, ouvrages hydrauliques antiques, sources, données géologiques et vieilles cartes de la vallée de l’Ilissos. Il met en parallèle notamment les ouvrages de captage de la fontaine Kallirrhoe d’après le texte de Thucydide et les découvertes archéologiques de la fin du XIXe siècle. Le principal argument pour proposer l’identification de la source antique mentionnée dans le Phèdre est l’existence d’une source, oubliée jusqu’ici, pratiquement étouffée en 1856, mais de nouveau active en 1925. La localisation proposée est identifiée près d’installations hydrauliques romaines réalisées sur une fontaine antérieure. L’article conclut que la promenade du philosophe commençait le long d’une route décrite sur la carte de Weiler en 1834 et qui concorde avec la description platonicienne et la présentation du paysage par William H. Thompson en 1856.
Qui est l’auteur de l’aqueduc du Galermi ?
Authors: Bouffier Sophie , Dumas Vincent , Lenhardt Philippe , Paillet Jean-Louis , Turci Marcello
Published: October 2021

L’article, issu des premières recherches menées sur l’aqueduc du Galermi à Syracuse par une équipe d’Aix-Marseille Université en 2012 et 2015, dresse le bilan des connaissances diffusées jusque-là, et présente les résultats obtenus sur deux aspects principaux de l’aqueduc : le tracé et l’une des quatre prises, la Bottiglieria. L’aqueduc, qui va capter l’eau dans le torrent du Calcinara, au sein des monts Hybléens, s’étend ensuite sur une distance de 27,5 km jusqu’au théâtre grec. Les techniques anciennes utilisées dans sa conception, l’absence de siphon et les erreurs de parcours ou modifications identifiées dans les gorges du Calcinara et de l’Anapo, incitaient à faire remonter à une date haute la conception de l’aqueduc, qui selon les dires de Thucydide et des érudits anciens, pouvaient être l’œuvre du Deinoménide Gélon, dans le premier quart du Ve siècle av. J.-C. Mais les témoignages postérieurs (chambre rupestre, inscriptions, tabulae ansatae) tendent à faire descendre le tronçon dit de la Bottiglieria beaucoup plus bas dans la chronologie, au plus tôt à l’époque hellénistique. Les premiers résultats ne permettent pas de le dater précisément.
L’approvisionnement en eau des forteresses antiques de la Larisa et de l’Aspis à Argos (Péloponnèse) : les trois citernes Vollgraff
Authors: Bardet Romaric
Published: October 2021

Entre 1902 et 1930, l’archéologue W. Vollgraff a mis au jour sur les acropoles de l’Aspis et de la Larisa, à Argos (Péloponnèse), trois grandes citernes antiques. Incomplètement publiés alors, ces ouvrages se dégradent aujourd’hui, en particulier les deux citernes de l’Aspis. Une étude architecturale a donc été conduite en 2015 en vue de documenter ces deux citernes. La communication présente les principaux résultats de cette mission. Elle a permis de mieux connaître l’architecture des trois ouvrages. L’occupation de l’Aspis est aussi mieux comprise du fait des recherches récentes portant sur les fortifications de cette acropole. Très similaires, les trois citernes ont été réalisées d’après un modèle identique, à la même époque et dans le cadre d’un programme de construction visant à renforcer les défenses des acropoles de la cité à la charnière des époques classique et hellénistique. Elles apportent à la connaissance de l’hydraulique grecque en contexte militaire.
Regenwasser als Ressource in Punischen Siedlungskontexten des zentralen Mittelmeerraumes: Zisternen in Karthago und Pantelleria
Authors: Schön Frerich
Published: October 2021

Les systèmes de collecte et de stockage de l’eau sont bien diffusés en Méditerranée antique. Cet article met l’accent sur les témoignages archéologiques de structures de stockage public et privé dans les établissements puniques de Carthage et de Pantelleria au Premier millénaire av. J.-C. Dans le cas de Carthage, il montre un système complexe tandis qu’à Pantelleria, il met en évidence l’usage de différents types de citernes. Alors qu’à Carthage, la typologie caractéristique est la citerne en baignoire ou en cigare, à la même époque, sur l’île voisine de Pantelleria, ce plan de base se combine avec une forme en bouteille plus courante dans le contexte des cités grecques.
The Concrete Floors of Megara Hyblaea
Authors: Mège Frédéric
Published: October 2021

Concrete floors were not widespread in Megara Hyblaia. They were constructed in the usual technique involving broken terracotta as an aggregate, mixed with sand and lime (opus signinum or, rather, broken terracotta concretes). Limestone powder could also be used as an aggregate (limestone mortars). Some of the broken terracotta concretes were decorated with rather simple patterns of inserted tesserae. The different types of concrete floors are mainly found in the Hellenistic baths and in some houses’ rooms, generally interpreted as bathrooms or reception rooms. It seems that these floors appeared in Megara Hyblaea and in eastern Sicily in the second half of the 3rd cent. BC. Thus, it is possible to envision that their introduction in this area could be attributed to a Roman influence.
Water Culture at the Sanctuary of Amphiaraos at Oropos: A Quantitative Reexamination of Three Inscriptions
Authors: Androvitsanea Anna
Published: October 2021

Three 4th-century inscriptions found in situ at the Sanctuary of Amphiaraos at Oropos constitute an instance of ancient “open government data,” providing access to public information on planned and implemented building projects. The inscriptions document the construction of a drainage system and a bath complex in detail, as well as the rehabilitation of a fountain and two bath complexes. They discuss the scope of work, budgetary and time constraints, and responsible individual, providing valuable information about the topography of the site and the history of its development. The complexity and adaptation of the hydraulic system, part of the expansion and transformation of the sanctuary, offer new insights into the evolution of ancient hydraulic science and on the different techniques used to store and distribute water and to influence the micro-climate of a site and its experience by visitors.
Bathing Beauties. Hygiene, Hydrotherapy, and the Female Nude: An Early Hellenistic Bronze Case-Mirror from Elis
Authors: Stewart Andrew , Liston Maria A.
Published: October 2021

A Greek bronze case-mirror showing four naked young women showering under a waterfall in a rocky landscape, discovered in a late 4th-century grave at Stafidokampos near the ancient city of Elis, and published by Xeni Arapoyanni in 1999, raises a number of questions about women’s health, hygiene, and personal care in early Hellenistic Greece. After remarks on the scene’s embossing or toreutic technique, its origins and typology are discussed and its participants identified with the aid of Pausanias, who visited the area around 170 CE. They are the Ionides, four nymphs worshiped at a healing spring that fed into the river Kytheros at Eleian Herakleia, about fifty stades from Olympia. Presumably this mirror was specially crafted to market to women seeking a cure there, and was bought by or for the occupant of the grave in which it was found. Analysis in July 2016 of the associated human remains revealed that they belonged to an adult female about 30-35 years old and a child about 10. The woman’s skeleton shows that she suffered from a chronic inflammatory joint disease, possibly rheumatoid arthritis. The resulting pain and swelling of her joints evidently drove her to the Ionides’ spring in search of a cure. At the very least, the warm water would have eased her joint pain and given her some relief from her symptoms.
“Water is Cold and Wet”: Reflections on Properties and Potencies of Water in the Cult of Asklepios during the Classical and Hellenistic Periods
Authors: Wickkiser Bronwen L.
Published: October 2021

Scholars have long recognized that sanctuaries of the healing god Asklepios tend to be characterized by an abundance of water, from wells and fountains to cisterns and baths. But rarely do scholars consider the range of functions that this water might have served, apart from the rather vague suggestion that it was therapeutic. This chapter will begin by reviewing water features at Epidauros and at several other early sanctuaries of Asklepios. It will then assess testimony from the cult itself, and from early medical treatises, for therapeutic uses of water. Finally, this chapter will propose that water in Asklepieia held a variety of sacred potencies beyond what we might label strictly therapeutic, serving as a conduit even for divine epiphany. Within the context of a cult that promoted personal encounters with the god, most famously through healing dreams, water seems to have enhanced individual contact with Asklepios.
Created at the Water’s Edge: Poetics and Politics in Greek Foundation Myths
Authors: Feldman Cecelia A.
Published: October 2021

Stories are meaningful and the stories that a community tells about itself are particularly ripe with information. The foundation myths of many cities in the Mediterranean include a source of water or claim mythological ancestors that are progeny of local water sources. This paper takes as its focus the foundation myths of several Greek communities – Ephesos, Samos, and Halikarnassos – as a way to argue for the centrality of water, both in practical terms and for identity formation. The question remains, however, why the geographical feature included in these foundation myths is overwhelmingly a water source. These narratives could easily achieve the same purpose with the inclusion of a host of other distinguishing geographical features. I argue that including reference to local water sources in these foundation narratives connect to the practical but also the ideological importance of water for a community. In this paper I argue that the emphasis on local water sources, which was further emphasized in the visual and material record, expresses the centrality of water in the understanding of “place” and in the construction of civic identities.
La place des eaux dans les sanctuaires phénico-puniques
Authors: Fumadó Ortega Iván
Published: October 2021

An overview of the published archaeological evidence on infrastructures related to water management (canalisations, wells, cisterns, pools and anthropised springs) in Phoenician-Punic sacred contexts is presented. With this preliminary overview I want to highlight the heterogeneity and the richness of attitudes towards the place of water in these sanctuaries. As a consequence, atemporal interpretations of the main role of water in the Phoenician religion appear inadequate.
Wheels, Keels, and Coins: Aquae Apollinares (Vicarello, Lazio) and Patterns of Pilgrimage in 3rd-Century Italy
Authors: Taylor Rabun
Published: October 2021

At the site of Vicarello (Lazio), the thousands of Republican-era coins recovered from a large votive deposit at an ancient thermal spa known in antiquity as Aquae Apollinares reveal interesting patterns about the likely geographic origins or destinations of many of the pilgrims who deposited them. Chronologically, these coins cluster overwhelmingly in the 3rd century BCE, especially the period covering the Pyrrhic War and the first two Punic Wars. Recent research suggests that the Tyrrhenian port of Cosa may have played an important role in training the Roman fleet in this period. Abundant concentrations at Vicarello and Carsòli (a site in central Italy) of one particular coin type that in Crawford’s estimation was minted at Cosa, and other types originating in South Italy, reveal a web of connectivity between the cities of coastal Campania and important land routes crisscrossing the Italian peninsula during wartime. Aquae Apollinares lay near the Rome-Cosa highway; thus its two thermal springs were ideally situated to serve large numbers of support personnel moving between South Italy and Cosa. The importance of the cities of Magna Graecia to the Roman war effort in the First Punic War relates to their maritime expertise. The massive campaign to requisition, build, supply, man, train, maintain, and replenish the fleet was a peninsula-wide effort, and the numismatic evidence of Vicarello and Carsòli signals that these southerners played a large and crucial effort in it.

René Maran et Mohammed Dib ne se sont jamais rencontrés. Une génération les sépare, outre leur appartenance à un champ géographique différent. Maran a pourtant consacré une note de lecture fort intéressante au premier roman de Mohammed Dib. Sa recension consacrée à La Grande Maison, roman paru au printemps 1952, publiée dans La Corrèze républicaine le 20 juin 1952 lui a permis de formuler certains paramètres inhérents à sa vision idéologique et politique.
Étude génétique de la représentation des femmes dans Un homme pareil aux autres de René Maran
Authors: Harpin Tina , Blasi Laura Gauthier
Published: October 2021

Un homme pareil aux autres est un roman d’inspiration autobiographique de René Maran, réécrit des années 1920 jusqu’à sa version définitive de 1947. C’est en réalité un roman d’amour dont le sentimentalisme a été peu commenté, ou carrément déconsidéré. Cet article analyse les enjeux de l’écriture du sentiment en étudiant le rapport de Jean Veneuse aux femmes, et l’évolution du portrait de celles-ci dans les différentes versions du texte. Un homme pareil aux autres est le roman d’un dandy sentimental où s’expriment certains préjugés sexistes quand d’autres préjugés racistes sont combattus. Veneuse ne parvient pas à exprimer la condition des femmes noires pas plus que celle des femmes blanches, toutes vues à la lumière de l’image idéalisée de l’aimée Andrée Marielle. Dans l’ombre, Clarisse, au statut aussi ambivalent que celui des femmes africaines, est le témoin, dans les réécritures du récit, de la position difficilement défendable parfois, du héros présenté en amoureux transi.

Social media has become a platform where fake news is abundant. This issue has shown itself effectively yet again during the COVID-19 pandemic. The WHO has named this information pollution in the COVID-19 period as “infodemic.” Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, access to authentic news has become more important than ever before in 2020. Within this context, verified news on teyit.org and dogrulukpayi.com in 2020 were analyzed. Besides, text analysis was conducted on 161 items of news originating in Twitter, and the most-commonly-used words have been found through analysis. The research suggests that news items on topics related to the agenda, which the public feels a need to be informed about, are more likely to be fake news and that Twitter, used broadly by the public to receive news, is preferred as it is easier and faster to spread fake news.

Surveillance Society in a Digitalized World
Authors: Al Eyüp
Published: October 2021

Although the surveillance society discussions have been carried out for a long time, they have recently moved to a different stage with the increase of digitalization. There is a new situation that changes the entire historical context of surveillance, and this new situation is briefly called digital surveillance. However, to make sense of digitalization and digital surveillance, it is necessary to explain how digital citizenship contributes to this process. Digitalization without digital citizenship is unthinkable. In short, this study will show the continuities and breaks of the phenomenon of surveillance in the historical process by shifting from classic surveillance practices to digital surveillance forms. Digital surveillance is considered to be much more complex, sophisticated, incomprehensible to all, and transcends all kinds of time and space boundaries compared to classic surveillance.
Re-Thinking the Sustainable Development Goals From the Point of View of Social Ecology and Environmental Law
Authors: Vegas-Gallo Edwin , Vegas-López Wilfredo , Pacheco-Pumaleque Alex
Published: October 2021

This research tries to understand the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) from the perspective of social ecology and environmental law, away from the Darwinian theory of man dominating nature and more focused on rethinking the SDGs from the nature-society co-evaluation in the adaptive sense of society to the new reality of its physical-natural support and to the new legal system of human rights. Development with victims from biologically rich countries like Peru with paradoxical poverty is analyzed, and likewise, the collapse of society in the face of imminent climate change due to human action is analyzed, which requires climate justice for environmentally displaced people in the face of the violation of their human rights, especially of children at risk. Finally, a Latin American academic contribution is presented to rethink the SDGs, generating contributions to the later times of the social confinement of COVID-19, in the so-called new normal.

Published: October 2021

The development carried out in the last decades is degrading the ecosystems, damaging the existing biodiversity. One of the elements that is having the most impact on the deterioration of natural areas is the construction of transport infrastructures, among which are high-speed routes. These linear infrastructures are contributing to the deterioration of biodiversity enclaves, which contribute to providing highly relevant ecosystem services. Among these deteriorations are the processes of fragmentation and alteration of the landscape. This chapter analyses a situation that occurs in Spanish territory related to high-speed railways. This transport system began in Spain on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of Seville 1992. By this transport activity, the changes suffered in the landscape are calculated and analysed through Corine land cover data since its inception until the last report of 2018.

Authors: Portugal Júnior Pedro dos Santos , Piurcosky Fabricio Pelloso , Frogeri Rodrigo Franklin , Guedes Luiz Carlos Vieira , Yılmaz Genç Sema Ylmaz
Published: October 2021

The present study addresses the issue of mineral waters in Brazil, its institutional problem, and the consequences and conflicts arising from its irrational exploitation. As a solution to these problems and conflicts, it is proposed to integrate these mineral waters and their different types in the management of water resources and the application of guiding economic and ecological principles as in the case of the conception of post-normal science and the precautionary principle. To meet the objective, the authors opted for an exploratory and bibliographical research regarding the adopted procedure. It is concluded that the implementation of an institutional change will allow a participative and polycentric management, mainly at the level of the hydrographic basin committees, which will contribute to the application of the two mentioned principles and a sustainable management of this resource. However, there is a need for improvements in the national water resources policy to more effectively cover groundwater in which mineral waters are embedded.
The Asymmetric Impact of Economic Growth, Energy Consumption, Population, and R&D on Carbon Emission in Turkey
Authors: Kilinc-Ata Nurcan
Published: October 2021

The presented study analyzes the asymmetry effect of research and development (R&D) expenditures, population growth, energy consumption, and economic growth on carbon emissions in the sample of Turkey for the period 1990-2020. Nonlinear ARDL is used to control the asymmetry of the variables. Linear ARDL is used to control the long-term and short-term relationships between the variables. The findings show that there is a symmetrical or linear relationship between the variables of R&D expenditures, population growth, energy consumption, economic growth, and carbon emissions. The findings display that economic growth and R&D are effective in reducing carbon emissions, while energy consumption seems to increase carbon emissions. Interestingly, the population was found to be effective in reducing carbon emissions in the study. In order for Turkey to reach its 2050 target, it is necessary to give priority to environmental regulations and policies.

Published: October 2021

The world has realized the fact that the limited resources can't be sustainable for a long time. Sustainable transformation is a key issue to save the current resources and natural environment for the next generation. 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can help governments to focus on main issues to achieve a balance between social, environmental, and economic development. At this point, Goal 6 points out the importance of saving clean and safe freshwater resources. This chapter aims to present the link between municipalities and water security in Turkey. Turkey case was selected according to its risky position in the level of water stress. This study used recent reports and statistical data on environmental indicators related with freshwater resources and the implications of municipalities in Turkey. Environmental Indicators 2020 Report guided the authors to determine water indicators in Turkey. In addition, the available open access data from TURKSTAT is used to determine water supply services of municipalities.
UNESCO, Idanha-a-Nova, and the UNESCO Creative Cities Network
Authors: Nicha Andrade Julijana
Published: October 2021

The chapter's main objective is to study the city's rising role as a driver for implementing the 2030 SDGs and UNESCO Creative Cities Network's part as UNESCO's mechanism to support cities in the effort. The results show that there is a changing nature of authority in the policy cycle on a more holistic level, where alongside the nation-state, international organizations and cities play a vital role in the problem definition, decision-making, agenda-setting, transfer, and implementation of policies. The increasing importance of cities internationally stretches the municipal policy cycle from the local to regional, national, and international levels. Orchestration complemented with an inter-organizational relations framework is used to study the case of Idanha-a-Nova UNESCO Creative City of Music. The case study shows that Idanha-a-Nova drove the implementation of the SDGs locally with the Portuguese state's support. However, because it lacked expertise and mechanisms of implementing the goals, it reached out to private consultancy and individual experts.
Toolkit for Conservation of Urban Biodiversity
Authors: Panwar Himanshhu , Dhote Meenakshi
Published: October 2021

Cities present multiple opportunities to create a more sustainable future by way of enhancing resource-efficiency and fostering innovation and political and social responsibility. The imperative for biodiversity in cities therefore goes beyond simple conservation to considerations of internalizing provisions of ecosystem services, which would otherwise be sought from outside the city. By presenting a practical approach to biodiversity planning and management, this toolkit seeks to help local governments harness available resources and opportunities to address global biodiversity loss by providing them a baseline of biodiversity, which would further help them to prepare local biodiversity strategy and action plan under the mandate of Biological Diversity Act 2002 providing the scope to municipal corporations to perform all activities relevant to overall biodiversity management. The study proposes a complete framework for formulating LBSAP using the existing tools for biodiversity assessment and how it can be incorporated into the city development plan for effective implementation.
