Ciência, tecnologia e inovação: a importância dos sistemas estaduais em uma estratégia nacional para o setor no Brasil
Authors: Almeida Wellington Lourenço de
Published: June 2021

Este artigo analisa aspectos institucionais da trajetória das Fundações Estaduais de Amparo à Pesquisa (FAPs) no Brasil. A abordagem está estruturada a partir dos desafios colocados pela Agenda 2030 das Nações Unidas, especialmente em seu objetivo 9, que trata da necessidade de construção de infraestruturas resilientes, buscando promover a industrialização inclusiva e sustentável, além de fomentar a inovação. A pesquisa procura identificar possíveis caminhos para o fortalecimento institucional desse sistema. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória que se apoiou em metodologia triangular, por meio da articulação entre literatura, revisão de documentos oficiais e geração de dados, além da experiência prática vivenciada pelo autor. A Agenda 2030 das Nações Unidas é uma carta de intenções firmada em ambiente multilateral, expressando consenso sobre um cenário ideal, sem análise dos entraves inerentes aos desafios reais nos planos doméstico e global. Isto não anula sua importância como uma visão de futuro capaz de orientar ações por parte dos atores políticos e sociais. Neste ensaio, ela é entendida como uma oportunidade de se buscar uma reflexão estratégica em uma área decisiva para o futuro ou não futuro do país. O exame se concentra nas tendências centrais das mudanças societárias em curso, apontadas pela literatura. A partir dessa descrição, procura refletir sobre as respostas dadas pelo país nos últimos anos, discutindo, também, percepções sobre o que poderá ocorrer no futuro próximo, extraídas de um diálogo com atores-chave do setor das FAPs em nível subnacional.

Os novos olimpianos: o poder cultural sob a ótica de Edgar Morin
Authors: Petraglia Izabel Cristina , Ballerini Franthiesco
Published: June 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre as contribuições do pensamento do sociólogo francês Edgar Morin acerca da cultura de massa para o entendimento do conceito de “poder cultural”. Poder cultural é o entrelaçamento do conceito de “poder simbólico”, desenvolvido pelo também sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu, com o conceito de “poder suave” (soft power), do cientista político norte-americano Joseph Nye. Artistas e produtores detentores de poder cultural são capazes de influenciar, seduzir e mobilizar multidões ao redor do mundo com suas obras, causas, aparência e, claro, produtos da indústria cultural. De que forma as ideias de Edgar Morin, desde a cultura de massa até o conceito de “olimpianos”, podem elucidar os caminhos de aquisição do poder cultural? A partir da hermenêutica de profundidade, chega-se à conclusão de que, por meio da educação, é possível entender estes mecanismos de consolidação do poder cultural, o que é um passo fundamental para reverter a lógica que dá muito poder a poucos artistas enquanto torna invisíveis muitos outros.

Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: Progress towards TB elimination in the United States will require improved detection and treatment of latent TB infection among non-U.S.-born residents who remain at disproportionate risk of TB disease. To inform targeted testing efforts, we evaluated risk of TB disease
among non-U.S.-born residents of Washington State, USA, by region of origin and time from U.S. entry.METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among non-U.S.-born residents diagnosed with TB disease in Washington State from 2005 to 2014, for which country-specific population
estimates were also available. The risk of TB disease among non-U.S.-born residents was estimated by time since U.S. entry, World Bank region of origin, and WHO TB incidence category.RESULTS: Risk of TB disease for non-U.S.-born residents was highest within the first year after
U.S. entry. Among persons from countries with high TB incidence who had resided in the United States for more than 20 years, risk for TB remained elevated.CONCLUSION: Elevated risk of developing TB disease among individuals not born in the United States persisted long after U.S.
entry, particularly among persons originating from certain regions and from high-burden countries. These findings contribute to evidence supporting a refinement of existing screening guidelines.

BACKGROUND: Sick neonates in TB endemic areas are at risk of nosocomial TB exposure.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcomes following contact investigation and isoniazid preventive treatment (IPT) in sick neonates exposed to healthcare personnel (HCP) with pulmonary TB.METHODS:
Investigations were conducted following two exposure events in different neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Details of the infants´ physical examination, chest X-ray and exposure history were recorded. Infants without TB disease were prescribed a 9-month course of IPT and followed
for ≥1 year.RESULTS: Ninety infants were exposed in NICU A and 231 in NICU B (n = 321). The overall proportions of completing the 9-month IPT was 164/265 (61.8%): 40/79 (50.6%) in NICU A and 124/186 (66.7%) in NICU B (P = 0.01). The overall incidence of TB was 10.2%
(24/236): 7.5% in NICU A and 11.2% in NICU B (P = 0.39). Contact investigation beginning >111 days after exposure was a risk factor for TB infection (P = 0.02).CONCLUSION: The risk of TB following nosocomial exposure in sick neonates was high, particularly when
contact investigation was delayed. Our findings underscore the importance of hospital policies that promote early detection of TB in HCP, reduce transmission in NICUs, and facilitate rapid case investigation.
Efficiency of Ukraine’s monetary policy in the context of achieving monetary security
Authors: Myskiv Galina , Grygoryshyn Nazarii , Levytska-Revutska Olha
Published: June 2021

The article explores the effectiveness of monetary policy by identifying its main criteria and analyzing indicators of monetary security. The authors draw conclusions about the state of monetary policy and its impact on Ukraine’s economic security. The analysis indicates that the country’s monetary policy is sufficiently effective to achieve the monetary goals and guarantee economic security. Four groups of monetary threats to economic security were identified, related to monetary policy, banking, investment and institutional environment, which were rated on a scale from 0 to 5 for 2010, 2015 and 2020. At the beginning of 2020 Ukraine’s economic security was mainly threatened by excessive dollarization of the economy and a small share of long-term loans in all total loans granted by banks. The authors argue that effective monetary policy at the present stage should focus on stabilizing, modernizing and restructuring the industry.
Transformation of the economy of Ukrainian cities of regional significance: efficiency of the impact on the socio-economic developmen
Authors: Melnyk Mariana , Leshchukh Iryna
Published: June 2021

The paper proposes a methodological approach to evaluating the impact of the transformation taking place in the economies of cities of regional significance (CRSs) on the socio-economic development of regions (oblasts). The analysis is conducted for cities of regional significance in the western part of Ukraine. The article emphasizes the asymmetry of regional socio-economic development as a result of the concentration of business activity and capital in the CRSs, a higher level of reception of growing direct foreign investment in the economies of CRSs compared to capital investment; a strong impact of structural changes in the economies of CRS on the Gross Regional Product (GRP). The authors found that the development of most CRSs was based on industrial production. Only half of the oblasts in Western Ukraine analyzed in the study showed evidence indicating that economies of their CRSs are undergoing a transformation towards service economy (which should correspond to the post-industrial development of the country).
HAS THE 2015 AMENDMENT TO THE CRIMINAL
CODE CHANGED THE PRACTICE OF APPLYING
PROTECTIVE MEASURES? RESEARCH REPORT
Authors: Pyrcak-Górowska Małgorzata
Published: June 2021

The article is the result of the research on the practice of applying a protective
measure in the form of placement in a forensic psychiatric facility
an insane perpetrator, before and after July 1st, 2015. The purpose of the
research was to determine whether and how outpatient protective measures
influenced the practice of applying psychiatric detention in case of
insane persons, in particular, whether outpatient treatment is used instead
of placement in a psychiatric facility in the case of committing offences
with a lower degree of social harmfulness. The purpose of the research
on the procedural law was to determine whether the judicature of the
Supreme Court emphasizing the procedural standard in cases concerning
the discontinuation of proceedings against an insane perpetrator affected
the observance of procedural guarantees of insane perpetrators in criminal
proceedings. The conclusions of the research are based on the statistical
data of the Ministry of Justice, the General Prosecutor’s Office and the
file research. The conclusions of the research are as follows: there was no significant change concerning the practice of imposing placement in
a psychiatric facility on insane perpetrators after July 1st, 2015. The types
of prohibited acts the commission of which justify placing the perpetrator
in a psychiatric facility have not changed significantly. On the other
hand, the procedural guarantees of the insane perpetrator are respected
to a slightly higher degree at present. Therefore, it should be considered
whether the conditions for the application of placement in a psychiatric
facility should not be restricted only to a situation where the perpetrator
poses a threat to selected, most important legal goods.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT – A MODERN UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPT
Authors: Baum Rafał
Published: June 2021

This article was created to present a broader, more critical view of the idea and concept of sustainable development, which has dominated the discourse on development for several decades. Based on the analysis of the literature on the subject, an attempt was made to state and explain how the original assumptions of the concept should be understood today. The most important contemporary challenges related to sustainable development have been identified. First, a historical analysis of the concepts of development and sustainable development was conducted, based on which it could be noticed that the original assumptions of the ideas have been forgotten. Then, the main dimensions (areas) of sustainable development in the literature of the last thirty years were examined. It has been noticed that the dimensions and their relations were very varied, and, first of all, defined in a rather general way. In an attempt to overcome that inaccuracy, efforts have been made to define the dimensions of sustainable development in a more precise way. Based on the analysis of the literature of the subject, it was determined that it was necessary to define the concept of sustainable development in a broader way, through the prism of 6 hierarchical dimensions: an expanded and modified economic area, a social justice area, an area of environment, an area of needs and rights, a democracy area as well as an area of long-term perspective and relations. The performed research confirmed that if sustainable development was to represent the most important current and future development issues, it should be structured around the key demands raised by scientists.
INTENSITY OF INTERNATIONALIZATION OF FOOD INDUSTRY SECTORS AND THEIR ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL RESULTS
Authors: Domagała Joanna
Published: June 2021

The aim of the article is to determine the relationship between the level of internationalization of food industry sectors and their economic and financial results. Unpublished CSO data for the years 2000-2017 were used. The data concerned the processing of fish, milk, meat, fruit and vegetables, beverage production, bakery and flour products, oils and fats, grain mill products, starches and starch products, ready-made feed and animal feed. To conduct the analysis, the internationalization intensity index calculated for individual food sectors was used. The analyzed sectors of the food industry were divided into 3 groups according to the intensity of internationalization. The most internationalized sectors were fish processing and the production of tobacco products, and the least internationalized sectors were milk and meat processing. In the next step, selected groups were compared in terms of economic and financial indicators. In order to confirm the statistical significance of the diagnosed differences, the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was used. The research confirmed that the increase in the internationalization of the food industry sectors mainly affects indicators related to the labor factor, technical progress and asset productivity.
ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE SHAPED BY ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION IN FAMILY FIRMS
Authors: Okręglicka Małgorzata
Published: June 2021

Contemporary enterprises are still looking for ways and methods of achieving a competitive advantage, which invariably include entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial orientation is an organizational construct consisting of five dimensions: proactivity, innovation, competitive aggressiveness, autonomy and risk taking. Family businesses show a significant specificity of functioning in many areas due to the dominant influence of the family on the management of such entities. It is not a uniform group, and individual companies may significantly differ, e.g. depending on the profile of their activity. However, in cases, organizational culture can determine the level of entrepreneurial orientation of the organization. In this article, research efforts focus on differences in the level of entrepreneurial orientation and building an entrepreneurial
culture depending on the profile of the business. The conclusions were based on the results of the own questionnaire survey conducted among 118 small family businesses in Poland.

Worldwide, marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly created to protect and restore selected parts of the ocean and to enhance recreation, fishing, and sustainable resources. However, this process has outpaced the development and implementation of methods for assessing and monitoring these habitats. Here, we combine data from an echosounder, a conductivity-temperature-depth probe, and underwater cameras to efficiently survey El Bajo Espíritu Santo Seamount, located in the southwest Gulf of California, Mexico. Results include a bathymetric map detailing a ridge with three peaks; oceanographic profiles showing a 35 m deep mixed layer and anoxic conditions below 200 m; mean target strength estimates for Pacific creolefish, Paranthias colonus (–34.8 dB re 1 m2, for mean total length ~33 cm), and finescale triggerfish, Balistes polylepis (–39.8 dB re 1 m2, 38 cm); baseline estimates of biomass for both species (55.7 t, 95% CI = 30.3–81.2 t and 38.9 t, 95% CI = 21.1–56.6 t, respectively) found only in the oxygenated water near the top of the seamount; and indications that these reef fishes grazed on zooplankton in the mixed layer. We conclude that acoustic-optical sampling is a practical approach for obtaining baseline information on MPAs to efficiently monitor changes resulting from natural and anthropogenic processes.
Discovery and Application of Data Dependencies
Authors: Pena Eduardo Henrique Monteiro , De Almeida Eduardo Cunha
Published: June 2021

This work makes contributions that reach central problems in connection with data dependencies. The first problem regards the discovery of dependencies of high expressive power. We introduce an efficient algorithm for the discovery of denial constraints: a type of dependency that has enough expressive power to generalize other important types of dependencies and to express complex business rules. The second problem concerns the application of dependencies for improving data consistency. We present a modification for traditional dependency discovery approaches that enables the dependency discovery algorithms to return reliable results even if they run on data containing some inconsistent records. Also, we present a system for detecting violations of dependencies efficiently. Our extensive experimental evaluation shows that our system is up to three orders-of-magnitude faster than state-of-the-art solutions, especially for larger datasets and massive numbers of dependency violations. The last contribution in this work regards the application of dependencies in query optimization. We present a system for the automatic discovery and selection of functional dependencies. Our experimental evaluation shows that our system selects relevant functional dependencies that help reducing the overall query response time for various types of query workloads.
Characterizing the Relationship Between Unitary Quantum Walks and Non-Homogeneous Random Walks
Authors: Andrade Matheus Guedes de , Marquezino Franklin De Lima , Figueiredo Daniel Ratton
Published: June 2021

Quantum walks on graphs are ubiquitous in quantum computing finding a myriad of applications. Likewise, random walks on graphs are a fundamental building block for a large number of algorithms with diverse applications. While the relationship between quantum and random walks has been recently discussed in specific scenarios, this work establishes a formal equivalence between the two processes on arbitrary finite graphs and general conditions for shift and coin operators. It requires empowering random walks with time heterogeneity, where the transition probability of the walker is non-uniform and time dependent. The equivalence is obtained by equating the probability of measuring the quantum walk on a given node of the graph and the probability that the random walk is at that same node, for all nodes and time steps. The first result establishes procedure for a stochastic matrix sequence to induce a random walk that yields the exact same vertex probability distribution sequence of any given quantum walk, including the scenario with multiple interfering walkers. The second result establishes a similar procedure in the opposite direction. Given any random walk, a time-dependent quantum walk with the exact same vertex probability distribution is constructed. Interestingly, the matrices constructed by the first procedure allows for a different simulation approach for quantum walks where node samples respect neighbor locality and convergence is guaranteed by the law of large numbers, enabling efficient (polynomial-time) sampling of quantum graph trajectories. Furthermore, the complexity of constructing this sequence of matrices is discussed in the general case.
Towards a European Constitution? The European Parliament and the Institutional Reform of the European Communities 1979-84
Authors: KAISER Wolfram
Published: June 2021

Drawing on archival sources of the European Parliament (EP), the EP Groups, and Spinelli’s private papers as well as contemporary media reports and 13 semi-structured interviews with eyewitnesses, this article examines the EP’s attempt to foster European union after its first direct election in 1979. In tracing the conflicts and compromises within the EP during the preparation of its Draft Treaty on European Union (DTEU) the article makes a three-fold argument. First, it demonstrates how this internal process enhanced cross-party cooperation on institutional reform in the EP. Second, it shows how the EP’s work on institutional reform impacted the inter-institutional dynamics with the European Commission and the European Council. Third, it elaborates how the DTEU, although not ratified, nevertheless constituted an important constitutional marker with long-term effects on European integration until the 2009 Lisbon Treaty.

ATTITUDE IN ABSTRACTS: STANCE EXPRESSION IN TRANSLATION PRACTICE REPORTS AND INTERPRETATION PRACTICE REPORTS BY CHINESE STUDENTS
Authors: Wang Fengling , Pramoolsook Issra
Published: June 2021

Given the importance of stance expression in the writing of abstracts, this study adopted a corpus-based comparative approach to investigate the stance expression in abstracts of the Translation Practice Report (TPR) and the Interpretation Practice Report (IPR), which are two newly emerging reporting genres in Master of Translation and Interpretation (MTI) in China. Based on a set of corpora composed with 30 TPR abstracts (8,738 tokens) and 30 IPR abstracts (8,699 tokens) collected from 30 universities located in 16 provinces in China, the stance expression was examined in terms of hedges, boosters, attitude markers, and self-mention by employing the stance framework in Hyland’s (2005) interactional model. The findings revealed a genre-specific convention in utilizing the four categories of stance in both the TPR abstracts and the IPR abstracts, which is different from that in the abstracts of the empirical studies. The analysis also found discipline-specific variations of stance expression between the two corpora due to different disciplinary conventions and practice of the two subdisciplines. Then, the interviews with the insider informants were conducted to clarify and to enrich the research findings. The results in the study may be taken as a useful reference to expressing attitude in writing the abstracts in the MTI field of China, and possibly in other fields.

Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE

Verigene blood culture panels comprise rapid diagnostic testing, which aids in early bacteremia species identification. This study determined the concordance of Verigene rapid diagnostic results compared with the Vitek reference standard in patients admitted to a children's hospital.

METHODS

This was a 3-year retrospective observational study of neonatal and pediatric patients ≤18 years admitted to a children's hospital with confirmed bacteremia for whom Verigene testing was performed. Verigene testing was conducted on cultures with reported growth on Gram stain and final organism speciation confirmed via Vitek. Percent concordance and positive percent agreement with 95% CIs were calculated for Verigene panel-identifiable organisms. Negative percent agreement with 95% CIs was calculated for non-panel organisms. Time-to-result was calculated from Gram stain reporting to both Verigene and Vitek final organism susceptibility.

RESULTS

One hundred thirty-five Gram-positive (GP) and 51 Gram-negative (GN) isolates were identified through Vitek. Verigene GP panel-detectable organisms were correctly identified 96.9% (125/129) at the genus level and 95.3% (123/129) at the species level. Overall positive percent agreement was 95.3 (CI: 90.2–98.3). Negative percent agreement was 83.3 (CI: 35.9–99.6) for the 6 non-panel GP organisms. All GN isolates were correctly identified on Verigene. Median time-to-result was 2.9 hours (IQR 2.6, 3.2) and 44.4 hours (IQR: 35.4, 52.5) for Verigene and final susceptibilities, respectively. There was a statistically significant time savings of 41.5 hours (CI: 29.8–53.2) for identification and detection of resistance markers (p < 0.0001).

CONCLUSION

Verigene concordance at our institution aligns with results from previously published studies and can be considered a reliable clinical decision-support tool.

Bearing capacity of folded plate foundations in clay soil
Authors: Idris Yakni , Dewi Ratna , Sutejo Yulindasari , Al Munawar
Published: June 2021

The design of a foundation is inseparable from the type and strength of the soil, for example, soft or medium clay soils have poor properties for structures due to their low bearing capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the model of a foundation to increase its bearing capacity and one of the popular methods is the application of folded plate on a flat foundation with angles and flange lengths on both sides. Therefore, this research presented its application at different flange lengths of 0.5B, 0.75B, 1B, 1.25B, and 1.5B where B is the width of the flat plate and the results showed the bearing capacity of the folded plate was higher than the flat foundation. Moreover, an increment in the folded length led to a bigger ultimate load and smaller settlement but the ultimate load and settlement were observed to be almost constant at over 1B. This means the optimum variation where the flange length is equal to the foundation width is 1B and it was observed to have increased by 129.52 % using the Tangent Method and 148.4 7% with Butler Hoy Method. Meanwhile, the lowest settlement factor for the folded plate foundation was 0.22 with the highest bearing capacity of 61.19 kN/m2.

Published: June 2021

The promotion of authentic food and beverages in Vojvodina is most commonly carried out in gastronomic events. Vojvodina is rich in gastronomic products coming from the households of different nations that inhabit its territory. Gastronomic events with their authenticity can contribute to the creation of the destination brand. The aim of the present study is to explore the authenticity of gastronomic events, which could contribute to a better promotion of Vojvodina and the creation of a recognizable brand of this tourist destination. The research was conducted through the method of survey, using a questionnaire on a sample of 150 respondents. Using statistical methods of binary logistic regression, Chi - square and Fisher's test, the analysis was performed and the results were presented. The findings of the research indicate that the authenticity of gastronomic events is recognized by the tourists; however, this should be better utilized in destination branding, as this feature could be the key in attracting tourists.

Published: June 2021

Tourism plays an important role in the economic and cultural development of society, producing many positive and negative effects. This study aimed to (a) assess the impact of tourism on modern life in Montenegro based on the attitudes of residents and (b) standardize instrument (questionnaire) for assessing these impacts. The sample formed by 521 adults from three different tourist regions (coastal, continental, mountainous). The questionnaire has high validity and reliability. Two components (two independent scales) have been extracted - the negative and positive social impact of tourism. It was found that the increase in positive impacts is followed by an increase in negative effects too. Type of the region, level of municipal development and engagement of respondents in tourism influence significantly the differences between attitudes of examinees. Those who live by tourism most respect its importance for local development.

Published: June 2021

The paper presents the results of the effect of different fertilizers on concentration of photosynthetic pigments in leaves of juvenile seedlings of Eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra L.). The seedlings were produced in 2014 in the seedling nursery of Institute of forestry in Belgrade. The trial was set up in a random block system with three types of fertilizers and a control in three replications. Three types of pigments have been examined: chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids. The leaf sampling was carried out in the beginning of June 2014. The highest concentration of photosynthetic pigments was found in the leaves of seedlings treated with the preparation Osmocote® Exact Standard 5-6 M and the lowest in the seedlings which were not treated. The highest mean value had chlorophyll a (0.522mg/g) in treatment with Osmocote® Exact Standard 5-6 M and the lowest mean value had chlorophyll b (0.213mg/g) in the control sample. The results showed that the concentration of photosynthetic pigments in leaves of Eastern black walnut juvenile seedlings varied depending on the fertilizer that was applied. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that the proper fertilizer can increase the concentration of photosynthetic pigments in leaves and therefore the intensity of photosynthesis which contributes to increasing the biomass production.

The memorial complex "Jozića Koliba" is situated within the boundaries of Obrenovac Reserve forest complex. A special value of this locality is its group of protected pedunculate oak trees, which consists of six protected trees aged approximately 200 years with their crown projections. The idea to protect not only the trees themselves, but also their immediate surroundings of which the forest community forms a part, imposed the need for studying and describing the community. The study of current forest vegetation was performed according to the principle of French-Swiss school Braun-Blanquet, J (1921,1928). In total, 33 species were identified in the forest community. In the tree storey, three species were identified: Quercus robur L., Fraxinus Angustifolia Vahl. and Acer campestre L. In the herb layer, two legally protected species were identified: Ruscus aculeatus L. and Viola odorata L. The presence of nine different areal types, dominated by species of sub-central-European flora element, was established by means of a phytogeographic analysis. According to the results of the analysis of life-form representation, this community is of a phanerophyte-hemicryptophyte type, with an increased presence of geophytes.
The Evaluation of Agricultural Land Use Sustainability in the Post-Socialist Camp Countries: Methodological and Practical Aspects
Authors: Kotykova Olena , Babych Mykola
Published: June 2021

An effective implementation of the sustainable use of agricultural land program is impossible without reliable results of the current state of the problem. In this sense, the correct selection of indicators and methods for determining the level of stability is important. The authors proposes the definition of the agricultural land use sustainability integral indicator based on three methodological approaches: the construction of the indicators system, each of them reflects some aspects of the land use sustainability at the macro level (according to the specific issues); the construction of the integral indicator for comparing the countries’ land use sustainability.

Households consume animal protein after carbohydrate food is fulfilled, moreover animal protein prices are increasing. This study aims to analyze the effect of rising beef prices on demand. The demand system approach uses the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) model. Estimation of parameters using Iterated non-linear Seemingly Unrelated Regression. The research data use the 2016 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas, 2016), amounting to 10,751 households. The results of the study concluded that beef is the third most elastic animal food after fresh fish and chicken meat. Fresh fish in the most elastic among all animal foods with a demand elasticity of 3.31%, followed by chicken, beef, milk powder, and eggs with demand elasticities of 1.55%, 1.62%, 1.29%, and 0.80%, respectively. Beef is a luxury item with an income elasticity of 1.59%, as well as fresh fish, chicken meat, and milk powder. While eggs are normal goods. Although fresh fish is more elastic than beef, beef marginal expenditure share (MES) is higher than fresh fish MES, so that in the long run, the increase in household income tends to increase beef consumption more than fresh fish.
Here Today and Gone Tomorrow: Jasper F. Cropsey's ‘The Backwoods of America’
Authors: Bonario Bernard
Published: June 2021

The Backwoods of America est une des oeuvres principales de Jasper F. Cropsey (1823-1900), artiste de la Hudson River School. Elle fut peinte à Londres en 1858, puis présentée à la Royal Academy. En 1932, le philanthrope W.H. Abbott de London, Ontario, achetait le tableau pour l’offrir, l’année suivante, à l’Université de Western Ontario, afin d’amorcer la formation d’une collection d’oeuvres d’art. En 1981, l’Université se départissait de son tableau lors d’une vente aux enchères à New York. The Backwoods of America fait voir chez Cropsey un intérêt croissant pour le côté rude de la vie dans les régions nouvellement défrichées de l’Amérique. Toutefois son intérêt ne s’arrête pas au reportage objectif. Son tableau renferme des allusions au cycle de la vie et de la mort. Le contraste romantique entre la durée éphémère de la vie humaine et le perpétuel renouvellement de la nature apparaît clairement dans la façon d’opposer, au premier plan du tableau, la pierre tombale, sur laquelle l’artiste a signé sa toile, et une grosse souche d’arbre. The Backwoods of America appartient aux années les plus fructueuses de la carrière de Cropsey et représente cette phase du milieu du xixe siècle où se côtoyent une vision subjective de la nature héritée du romantisme et une approche plus objective et scientifique introduite par les naturalistes.
Art in Halifax: Exhibitions and Criticism in 1830 and 1831
Authors: Burant Jim
Published: June 2021

À cause de sa population, de sa richesse et de son statut de centre gouvernemental, militaire et naval, Halifax était, dans la première moitié du xixe siècle, le centre de l’activité culturelle et artistique dans les colonies maritimes de l’Amérique du Nord britannique. La période qui s’étend de 1800 à 1850 en fut une de grande animation dans les domaines politiques, sociaux et économiques de même que dans le domaine des beaux-arts.

En 1815, peu de chose laissait croire que Halifax deviendrait un centre de vie artistique, mais en l’espace de quinze ans deux expositions y eurent lieu. Il y a plusieurs raisons à cela : la reprise de l’économie après l’ère napoléonienne; l’établissement d’une institution d’éducation non confessionnelle, le collège Dalhousie, au centre de la ville; l’arrivée d’artistes de talent, en particulier William Valentine et W.H. Jones; la présence de fonctionnaires ainsi que d’officiers militaires et officiers de marine ouverts et éclairés; et enfin la formation d’une ambiance intellectuelle réceptive grâce aux journaux et autres publications.

Il faut surtout mentionner la présence du dynamique William Harris Jones, un Américain qui vint enseigner l’art au collège Dalhousie en 1828. Au début des années 1820, il avait organisé des expositions à Baltimore et Boston, avant d’organiser en mai 1830 au collège Dalhousie la première exposition publique d’oeuvres d’art à Halifax et dans l’Amérique du Nord britannique. Au printemps de 1831, une seconde exposition, encore plus ambitieuse, organisée à nouveau par Jones sous le patronage de Lady Sarah Maitland, l’épouse du lieutenant-gouverneur, était présentée au collège Dalhousie. Des chroniqueurs locaux virent l’établissement d’expositions annuelles comme un pas dans la bonne direction pour former la jeunesse et déclarèrent : « ... nous devrions encourager les arts libéraux presque autant, que la Moralité et la Religion ».

Malheureusement le départ de W. H. Jones à l’été de 1831 causa un arrêt subit des expositions annuelles; mais ses efforts ont encouragé d’autres artistes, principalement une de ses élèves, Maria Morris, et William Eagar, à enseigner les beaux-arts aux habitants de Halifax et à exposer leurs oeuvres. Pour bien comprendre l’impact des expositions de 1830 et 1831 sur la population locale, il faut lire les longs comptes rendus parus dans le Halifax Monthly Magazine en juin 1830 et juin 1831, qui sont reproduits dans les appendices à cet article.
Omer Parent : artiste-décorateur
Authors: de Andrade Marie-Maxime
Published: June 2021

Since their emergence in the nineteenth century, department stores have capitalized on the work of various artists and creators in order to fashion their visual identity. Yet, this close relationship between these stores’ commercial enterprise and the arts is rarely acknowledged. This article explores, through a case study, the visual spectacle offered by Henry Morgan & Co., one of Montreal’s main department store during the 1920s and 1930s. Omer Parent (1907–2000), founding director of the Laval University School of visual arts, worked at this store from 1929 to 1936 as chief “artist decorator.” His involvement in the construction of Morgan’s visuality not only allowed him to make a living out of his art but also to play an active role during this period in the dissemination of new trends and fashion in Montreal. This article highlights Omer Parent’s contribution to the promotion of modern aesthetics in Quebec during the 1920s and 1930s as well as demonstrating the advent of interior design expertise in the province.
Integrating Equity and Reconciliation Work into Archival Descriptive Practice at the University of Waterloo
Authors: Robichaud Danielle
Published: June 2021

Despite sustained calls for a critical review of harmful content within archival descriptive records, there remains much to be explored by way of implications for Canadian academic archives. This article addresses the absence of Canadian archival practitioners in broader discussions about the revision and remediation of descriptive records by exploring how staff in Special Collections & Archives at the University of Waterloo Library are working to integrate equityand reconciliation-informed thinking into the department’s archival practice by revising their approach to language in archival descriptions. Beginning with an overview of the department and the landscape in which it operates, this article provides a brief review of guidance available in the Rules for Archival Description. It then provides the rationale behind the recent changes to descriptive practice before exploring a series of examples of how and where this work is newly underway. The article concludes with a consideration of current identified challenges and the related work ahead.
On Constructing a Scientific Archives Network
Authors: Anderson Bethany G.
Published: June 2021

Computational approaches to archives present archivists and users with new ways of engaging with records and their provenance. Such approaches are particularly useful for scientific archives due to the collective and collaborative nature of modern scientific knowledge production. This article explores computational approaches to digitized fonds of scientists involved in the transdisciplinary scientific movement cybernetics through the Cybernetics Thought Collective: A History of Science and Technology Portal Project as a means to reveal the ways cyberneticians have developed concepts and debated ideas through the creation and exchange of correspondence and other records. The project has experimented with machine-learning and natural-language-processing tools to generate data from the materials in an effort to reveal connections between the cyberneticians and their correspondence. Cybernetics seeks to understand the human condition through experiments with machines, and, in a cybernetically inspired sense, so too do archivists seek to understand their archives through experiments with machines. Such explorations are important for documenting scientific thought collectives like cybernetics in a digital age.
Copyright in Fire Insurance Plans
Authors: Dryden Jean
Published: June 2021

Fire insurance plans are among the most valuable records documenting the development of Canada’s cities and towns during the late 19th and 20th centuries. Many of these plans are preserved in Canada’s archives and libraries. However, for nearly three decades, making copies for researchers and (more recently) digitizing for online access have been subject to a copyright “chill” as a result of the copyright claims of the companies that created these plans and their successors. This article recounts the history of Canadian fire insurance plans preserved in Canadian repositories and establishes their current copyright status in terms of ownership and duration. The article then explores the extent to which the copyright concerns are justified and offers possible solutions.
