L’Apiculteur entre représentation sociale et fonction symbolique dans deux romans contemporains : Henri Vincenot, Le Maître des abeilles (1989) et Maxence Fermine, L’Apiculteur (2002)
Authors:   CELIS, Université Clermont Auvergne, Auraix-Jonchière Pascale
Published: November 2023

Two contemporary novels dealing with the beekeeper’s social type, Le Maître des abeilles by Henri Vincenot and Maxence Fermine’s L’Apiculteur, reshape the social representations which are linked with this character in an original way. We shall show how each novel proceeds to join external images to the collective ideas we commonly build to figure out the beekeeper’s tasks (either congruent or not with the reality of this job) in order to create a new literary universe. The representations (or even stereotypes) of the adventurer, for instance, or of the religious officiant give a new sense to the reading according to the poetical choice of the two writers.
L’apiculteur princeps de la littérature occidentale : Aristée entre poésie, politique et philosophie (Virgile, Géorgiques, IV, 281-558)
Authors:   CELIS-EA 4280, Université Clermont Auvergne, Vial Hélène
Published: November 2023

The episode of the beekeeper Aristaeus in Book IV of Virgil’s Georgics is the most striking manifestation of the generic complexity of this extraordinary work. The story of Aristaeus forms an enclave within the poem, yet is organically linked to it and plays a full part in the unity of the innovative literary object that is the Georgics. He deepens this graft by extending to the sublime a lyrical vein which culminates in the embedded story of Orpheus and Eurydice, and hybridizes in a fusion with epic verse, the didactic foundation and the bucolic antecedents of the work. Through the adventure of Aristaeus, the princeps beekeeper of Western literature, Virgil’s entire poetic, political and philosophical ideal is defined.
La représentation symbolique de l’apiculteur et de la ruche dans L’Esprit de la ruche (Víctor Erice, 1973)
Authors: LEROY Vincent
Published: November 2023

The Spirit of the Beehive is a Spanish film directed in 1973 by Víctor Erice. The feature film is about Ana’s childhood in post-Civil War Spain. After seeing Frankenstein (James Whale, 1931) with her sister Isabel and the villagers, Ana wishes to take an initiatory journey to discover the world around her. She wants to find answers to her questions about the past and the present as well as life and death. Fernando and Teresa are Ana’s parents. Absent and lonely, they try to survive in Franco’s society, living withdraw with their problems, their nostalgia and their frustrations. The father, Fernando, is a beekeeper who devotes all his days to raising bees while the mother is absorbed in her daydreams of a bygone era, writing letters to a lover who has disappeared since the Civil War. This article focuses on the figure of the beehive and the beekeeper in cinema, through the example of the Spanish feature film The Spirit of the Beehive (El Espíritu de la colmena) by Víctor Erice (1973). The filmmaker describes the beehive and the beekeeper through their characteristics between metaphors and implicit symbols, and through their plural and contradictory realities. The article highlights the symbolic and poetic representation of the beehive and the beekeeper in a specific historical context, that of the post-Spanish Civil War.
« À l’exemple des Abeilles » : Daniel Thaly poète-apiculteur
Authors: LECROSNIER-WITTKOWSKY Marie
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this article is to introduce the West Indian poet Daniel Thaly (1879-1950), who was both a poet and a beekeeper. In his collection of poems L’île et le voyage, Thaly devotes the Fourth Chant to "La maison aux abeilles" (The house of bees), in which he celebrates the insects he cares for, which teach him both an art of living and an art of poetry. Thaly’s example shows how the practice of beekeeping informs poetry, particularly by renewing man’s relationship with the landscape. Beekeeping and the observation of bees also led the poet to set up these insects as poetic models: the motif of the bee is frequently used in poetry to represent the practice of innutrition. Like the bee, the poet gleans inspiration from his readings to produce his own honey, the poetic result of his influences. The case of Daniel Thaly is an interesting one, since we are dealing with a French-speaking poet in a colonial situation marked by the influence of Western literature and the force of assimilation. Thaly and the apiary metaphor invite us to examine the notions of imitation, innutrition and originality in the context of West Indian colonisation. Here, the prism of beekeeping offers a fresh look at a form of writing that for too long has been relegated to the category of servile imitation and stigmatised by critics as regionalist, exotic and doudouist literature.
Anticipations de l’apiculture
Authors:   CELIS-EA 4280, Université Clermont Auvergne, Daniel Yvan
Published: November 2023

This article examines the literary representations of the beekeeper, and more generally of beekeeping, in three science fiction stories from the second half of the twentieth century and the early years of the twenty-first: Frank Herbert’s Hellstrom’s Hive, Wang Jinkang’s The Beekeeper (Yangfengren) and Maja Lunde’s A History of Bees (Bienes Historie). It shows that the figure of the beekeeper – or of the woman beekeeper – and the whole beekeeping environment are both literary and discursive matrixes, allowing for original narrative developments and interpretative readings, notably political and philosophical. Finally, it considers the evolution of these representations under the influence of the awareness of the environmental crisis and new ecological concerns.
Les apiculteurs chinois, ces pauvres hères
Authors:   Institut d’Asie Orientale (UMR 5062) Lyon, Grillot Caroline
Published: November 2023

In China, beekeepers generally remain in the shadows. Most are transhumant, and their rustic lifestyle and rudimentary tasks place them at odds with contemporary social norms, between the plant and animal world and the human community, strangers among their compatriots. In the eyes of a Chinese society that values the group, their existence remains associated with the image of poor, hard-working and solitary peasants, almost marginal, despite their genuine entrepreneurial commitment. In social representations, beekeepers are either folkloric or invisible, free and therefore suspect, and potentially exploitable. Drawing on contemporary literature, documentary and journalistic production, we will sketch out the contours of this little-known profession as seen by its Chinese compatriots.
A new species of the genus Cnemaspis Strauch, 1887 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from the higher elevations of Tamil Nadu, India
Authors:   Wildlife Protection and Research Society (WLPRS), Satara, Maharashtra, India, Sayyed Amit
Published: November 2023

In this study, we present the description of a previously undocumented species of Cnemaspis found in the region of Tamil Nadu, India. Molecular analysis of the species reveals its placement within the Cnemaspis beddomei Theobald, 1876 clade, with a range of genetic divergence on the ND2 gene, spanning from 9.5% to 30.2% in comparison to its congeners. Although bearing a resemblance to the well-known Cnemaspis ornata Beddome, 1870, the new species exhibits a distinct set of non-overlapping morphological characteristics that set it apart. These findings are supported by molecular data, solidifying the distinction between the newly described species and its close relatives.
Are There Serbs in Serres? The Serbian Consulate in Serres and The Macedonian Question at The Turn of the Twentieth Century
Authors: Simeonov Simeon
Published: November 2023

This article examines the brief history of the Serbian consulate in Serres in 1897–1899 as a failed attempt at state-building. Drawing on evidence from recently published materials by the Serbian State Archives, the article argues that the Serbian consuls in Serres, Branislav Nušić and Sima Avramović, played an important role in the efforts to promote Serbian national identity and defend Serbian political interests in Ottoman Macedonia. The consulate in Serres was part of an expanding Serbian diplomatic network in Macedonia, which proved instrumental to other Serbian initiatives, such as the creation of new schools and the appointment of Serbian priests in the region. The Serbian consular activities in Serres formed an aspect of a wide-ranging transnational strategy of deploying consulates across Macedonia in the wake of the Serbian-Bulgarian War of 1885. Such institutions served to advance national interests and protect national subjects outside the borders of the fledgling Balkan states. Reviewing recent scholarship on Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece, the article concludes by comparing the Serbian example to those of other Balkan nations and suggesting further venues for comparative and entangled historical research.

Error Analysis of Academic Essays of Senior High School Students
Authors: Gildore Phyll Jhann , Uka Azmeer Hasann , Yting Jonathan
Published: November 2023

Students commit errors in their writing compositions due to their lack of English language proficiency and knowledge of the writing conventions. This study sought to analyze the errors committed by Senior High School (SHS) students of the University of Mindanao in their academic essays. The study utilized Corder’s error analysis to examine 100 academic essays of students. The results revealed that under the categories of errors, mechanics has the most problematic errors with 514 error counts (46.98%), followed by omission with 228 error counts (20.84%), addition with 190 error counts (17.37%), substitution with 153 error counts (13.99%), and permutation with nine error counts (0.82%), the least problematic category. The results further revealed that the SHS students are experiencing difficulties in applying grammatical and writing rules in their academic writing, such as appropriate usage of prepositions, omission and addition of affixations, proper structure of sentences, and substituting elements of sentences. The findings imply that consciousness-raising approaches to teaching grammar be used by teachers in school to improve the students’ knowledge of the English grammar and writing conventions.

Authors: Ahmed Taha Hashim , Mshimesh Bahir Abdul-Razzaq , Raoof Israa Burhan
Published: November 2023

Background: Chronic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, long-lasting illness that makes pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAEC) not work properly and leads to heart failure and death. Objective: To evaluate the effect of nicorandil in the treatment of PAH compared to tadalafil in a rat model of monocrotaline-induced PAH. Methods: Monocrotaline injection (60 mg/kg) was used for the induction of PAH in male rats; healthy control and induction groups were not treated. The other 4 groups were treated with either nicorandil or tadalafil with or without treatment blockers (glimepiride and N-Nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME)) for 21 days orally. Serum was obtained for assessment of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and tissue harvested for nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) by ELISA, western blot analysis of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and an apoptosis assay to examine the endothelial function. Results: Nicorandil showed a significant reduction in ET-1 and significant elevation in eNOS compared to the induction group, with comparable efficacy to tadalafil; blocker groups showed significantly elevated levels of ET-1 and reduced levels of eNOS compared to healthy control; NFκB was significantly inhibited in nicorandil and tadalafil groups and significantly elevated in blocker and induction groups; while in the TUNEL apoptosis assay, nicorandil showed the highest level of inhibition to apoptosis with apparently normal endothelium lining. Conclusions: Nicorandil shows anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and enhanced endothelial morphology and function compared to the induction model.

Published: November 2023

Endometritis is one of the most common postpartum diseases which affect daily cows. It causes severe economic losses through increasing treatment cost, days open, service per conception and decrement in milk yield. This study was conducted to evaluate medical efficacy and economic profitability of some treatment protocols for clinical Endometritis. Forty cycling Holstein dairy cows suffering from Endometritis were divided equally and treated as follow: Group 1: cows with presence of corpus luteum (CL) on their ovaries which received PGF2-α. Group 2: cows with presence of CL received PGF2-α + cephapirin (Metricure®) (500mg cephapirin) by intrauterine infusion. Group 3: cows without presence of CL were treated with Metricure® only. Group 4: cows without presence of CL received 100 ml of Lugol's Iodine solution (0.5%) intra-uterine infusion.The results showed that Group-2 animals recorded the fewest days to complete cure and days open and the highest conception rate when compared to other groups. Hematological result at 10th day post-treatment, showed that all the treatment protocols significantly decreased total leukocytic count, neuytrophils%, lymphocytes% and monocytes% except Group-1. Also, all the treated groups recorded significant decrease in serum level of C-reactive protein (CRP) and inteleukin-6 (IL-6). Concerning economical aspect, treatment protocol of Group-2 was the best. In general, treatment with cephapirine (Metricure®) is the best choice for treatment of clinical endometritis in cattle either in presence or absence of CL.

Big data, konsumenten och vad som hände med ”bara titta”
Authors: Petersson McIntyre Magdalena
Published: November 2023

This article examines the digitization of consumption from a field work at fairs for e-commerce. It aims to investigate the cultural understandings of consumption and consumers that circulate at these events. Trade fairs stage the future and configure markets, technology and consumers. As a topic of research, trade fairs are interesting because they summarize what markets actors in a particular field find fascinating or troubling at a given moment. Building on an actor-network-theory inspired study of “market-things”, the article analyses the new digital market-things that are promoted on trade fairs and their relationship with the growing concern many shop keepers have for losing control over consumers; a result they fear follows on digitalization. The article argues that, at these trade fairs, consumers and consumption were always understood in relation to new technologies aimed at increasing sales. Five tightly intertwined innovations are identified: the expansion of physical boundaries; new time and spaces for consumption; new roles for consumers; the compensation for loss of senses; and attract and contain. All these innovations represent particular solutions that respond to the concerns many market actors have. Consumers were configured in specific ways in order to promote certain devices and technologies. Thus, the depiction of consumers at these trade fairs followed a particular agenda; that of characterizing consumption in a certain way in order to promote particular devices.

Science fiction literature is known for not only describing unknown worlds, but also for presenting worlds alternative to those real, and for predicting, if not directly shaping the future. These observations have been often illustrated by the writings of William Gibson. In a series of novels beginning with Pattern Recognition (2003), he described a world of digital commerce and digital marketing that seems to be portraying present developments in the global economy. This article presents his insights and sets them in a context of contemporary marketing research.

Published: November 2023

Новая («после 24.02.2022») реальность в своих перформативных аспектах (остраненное переживание места, времени, вещей и слов (или их отсутствия и нехватки)) размывает границы между повседневным действием и художественным жестом, превращая ее новых агентов одновременно в исполнителей и зрителей, живущих в режиме перманентного (само)наблюдения и сетевой (по преимуществу) автофиксации. Начавшаяся как подчеркнуто и принципиально событийная, как история (возможных) стремительных действий и поступков и одновременно прямой, категоричной, подчеркнуто адресной, «горячей» коммуникации, эта история все больше и больше замедляется в своем развитии, предлагая новую перформативную оптику, которая предполагает обращение к «теплой» энергии недейственности (претерпевания, аскетства, терпения, выкорчеванности), многовекторности и размытости адресации, несовершенства и слабости как ценности и права.
Revisiting the linkage between financial inclusion and economic growth: Time series evidence from Vietnam
Authors: Hye Qazi Muhammad Adnan
Published: November 2023

Financial inclusion has played a key role in encouraging the development of financial sectors in recent decades. Only a few studies, however, have looked at the linkage between financial inclusion and economic growth. This study examines the impact of financial inclusion on economic growth in Vietnam, utilizing data spanning the period from 2001 to 2021. The study uses composite risk, trade openness, and government expenditures as control variables. The study follows the access to finance theory, which suggests that access to financial services such as credit, savings, and insurance can help promote economic growth and development. The nexus between financial inclusion and economic growth has never been examined in the case of Vietnam, which represents a greater share of global trade and income. Moreover, this study uses trade openness, government expenditures, and the composite risk index as control variables in the empirical model. Hence, the study contributes to the existing literature in some meaningful ways. This study employs the FMOLS method to estimate the long-run coefficients of financial inclusion, trade openness, composite risk, and government expenditures. According to the findings, financial inclusion boosts economic performance. On the contrary, composite risk is negatively related to economic growth. The results of this study suggest that Vietnam must implement policies to improve financial inclusion so as to enhance its economic growth.

El presente artículo surge de la necesidad de dar cuenta de una obra fundamental para la audiovisualidad cordobesa: la filmografía de Ana Mohaded es abundante, vasta, variable y se mantiene en el tiempo tanto por su actualidad como por el hecho de que desde 1987 no ha dejado de filmar, escribir y dirigir películas. 

Aquí seleccionamos tres de sus obras para ir tejiendo un análisis que rompe el distanciamiento observacional para construir uno de acercamiento y reflexión. En una conversación que se articula desde la escritura, y apunta al intercambio en una especie de cadáver exquisito de a dos, vamos con Ana transitando un diálogo que pone en valor y contexto sus obras, a la vez que nos conecta con su experiencia en primera persona.
A Perspective on Monkeypox Related LGBT Phobia Among the General Public
Authors: Das Rinila , Behera Swati , Sumit Kumar
Published: November 2023

Due to an upsurge in imported cases in the Western Pacific Region, the World Health Organization has proclaimed monkeypox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on July 23rd, 2022. The worldwide transmission of human monkeypox disease presents substantial healthcare concern. Similar to previous infectious disease outbreaks, conspiracy theories have also emerged in relation to the 2022 monkeypox outbreak, undermining health behaviors and amplifying the outbreak's impact. Fake news on social media worsens the monkeypox outbreak, silencing healthcare experts. The outbreak has stigmatized monkeypox, putting LGBTQI+ communities at increased risk. Unsurprisingly, the present outbreak is impacting a large number of homosexuals, bisexuals, and men who have sex with men, which may lead to increased discrimination and stigma towards this group, along with increased LGBT phobia among the general population. Such stigmatization lead to healthcare disengagement, increasing morbidity and mortality, significant physical, socio-economic, and psychological consequences for LGBTQ+ community. Monkeypox is manageable if transmission chains are broken, aided by accurate information to dispel outdated myths rooted in fear and sexual bias. A holistic, culturally-sensitive approach is vital to combat current monkeypox-related stigma, requiring government interventions and multi-stakeholder collaboration for a multidisciplinary strategy.

Effects of guided inquiry and peer tutoring teaching strategies on achievement of students’ in physics in Delta State was investigated. Quasi-experimental design, specifically non-equivalent pre-test, posttest, control group design was adopted. A sample size of 289 SS II Physics students, randomly selected from six secondary schools was used. The reliability of the instrument was done using Kuder-Richardson Formula 21 which yielded a coefficient of 0.86. The treatment involved exposing students in experimental groups to Physics concepts with the use of guided inquiry and peer tutoring strategy, and the control group with lecture method. Pretest was administered before the treatment and posttest after the treatment. The scores obtained were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the research question and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for testing the hypothesis. It was found in the study that peer tutoring strategy and lecture method have significant effects on students’ achievement in physics than guided inquiry teaching strategy; there was no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of Physics students taught with guided inquiry and lecture method. It was recommended among others that both guided inquiry, peer tutoring strategies and lecture should be adopted by physics teachers during classroom instruction.

Especificadamente, compreendendo a utilização das Constelações Familiares na fase de mediação dos conflitos e analisando os resultados práticos da abordagem sistêmica nas Varas de Família. Para alcançar o objetivo da pesquisa foram adotados o método dedutivo e a pesquisa de natureza bibliográfica descritiva. Nesse sentido, compreende-se a necessidade de superar as antigas práticas de fomento ao litígio e ganho de causa a qualquer custo, pois esses movimentos resultam em insatisfação, recursos e descumprimentos.

O ensino de Geometria apresenta desafios, sejam de compreensão conceitual, ou de construção de recursos didáticos para práticas inclusivas. Objetiva-se apresentar o Pantógrafo como recurso pedagógico para o desenvolvimento do pensamento geométrico de Van Hiele, mediado pela Sequência Fedathi (SF) no Curso de Extensão de Agentes de Cultura Maker, visando práticas inclusivas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória de natureza qualitativa. Durante o curso, realizou-se uma sessão didática visando os processos de ensino e aprendizagem de Geometria Plana. Os dados apontam que o recurso pedagógico do Pantógrafo auxiliou no engajamento dos cursistas; contribuiu para a postura do professor formador no planejamento da Sessão Didática (SD) com a SF; e, favoreceu a mobilização dos conhecimentos prévios dos cursistas para execução das atividades propostas. Considerando que os cursistas são professores de Matemática da rede municipal de Fortaleza-Ceará e podem utilizar essa ferramenta para fins pedagógicos na promoção do desenvolvimento do pensamento geométrico de Van Hiele, espera-se que esse estudo possa ser ampliado em outros contextos.

Devido ao recente cenário pandêmico, sabe-se que vários foram os prejuízos econômicos causados em diversos setores da economia, desencadeando consequências de ampla magnitude. Não seria diferente na Economia Solidária, que por sua vez, já apresenta dificuldades estruturais desde a sua própria concepção, pois, são, na maioria, organizações bastante frágeis, com baixo poder aquisitivo e mesmo quando alcançam níveis consideráveis de produtividade, possuem dificuldades de acesso a mercados, por geralmente estarem situadas distantes dos centros comerciais. Estes são alguns dos fatores que não permitem uma evolução tão significativa a ponto de promover a autossuficiência do segmento. A partir desse panorama introdutório este trabalho focou em entender a Economia Solidária na Baixada Cuiabana, por meio do estudo dos problemas econômico-financeiros dos Empreendimentos da Economia Solidária integrantes do Fórum Territorial de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional e Economia Solidária da Baixada Cuiabana – FTSANES BC.
