What Controls DNA Looping?
Authors: Perez Pamela , Clauvelin Nicolas , Grosner Michael , Colasanti Andrew , Olson Wilma
Published: August 2014

The looping of DNA provides a means of communication between sequentially distant genomic sites that operate in tandem to express, copy, and repair the information encoded in the DNA base sequence. The short loops implicated in the expression of bacterial genes suggest that molecular factors other than the naturally stiff double helix are involved in bringing the interacting sites into close spatial proximity. New computational techniques that take direct account of the three-dimensional structures and fluctuations of protein and DNA allow us to examine the likely means of enhancing such communication. Here, we describe the application of these approaches to the looping of a 92 base-pair DNA segment between the headpieces of the tetrameric Escherichia coli Lac repressor protein. The distortions of the double helix induced by a second protein—the nonspecific nucleoid protein HU—increase the computed likelihood of looping by several orders of magnitude over that of DNA alone. Large-scale deformations of the repressor, sequence-dependent features in the DNA loop, and deformability of the DNA operators also enhance looping, although to lesser degrees. The correspondence between the predicted looping propensities and the ease of looping derived from gene-expression and single-molecule measurements lends credence to the derived structural picture.
Cyberbullying at Work: In Search of Effective Guidance
Authors: West Bettina , Foster Mary , Levin Avner , Edmison Jocelyn , Robibero Daniela
Published: August 2014

With rapid technological change has come a blurring of boundaries between personal and workplace space. Employers are challenged to develop guidelines and policies to direct the appropriate use of technology to maintain a civil workplace. Because of the lack of shared understanding, or even terminology, around the issue of cyberbullying, employers are seeking a response from lawmakers to assist with this issue. Lawmakers are reluctant to develop legislation prematurely, given the rapid change in the capabilities of technology, the diverse social norms about its use, and the uncertainty of the role and responsibility of employers in minimizing cyberbullying and facilitating a civil workplace environment. This Canadian study seeks insight into these emerging issues through in-depth interviews with human resource professionals representing diverse business and industry sectors.
Native Cellulose: Structure, Characterization and Thermal Properties
Authors: Poletto Matheus , Ornaghi Heitor , Zattera Ademir
Published: August 2014

In this work, the relationship between cellulose crystallinity, the influence of extractive content on lignocellulosic fiber degradation, the correlation between chemical composition and the physical properties of ten types of natural fibers were investigated by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry techniques. The results showed that higher extractive contents associated with lower crystallinity and lower cellulose crystallite size can accelerate the degradation process and reduce the thermal stability of the lignocellulosic fibers studied. On the other hand, the thermal decomposition of natural fibers is shifted to higher temperatures with increasing the cellulose crystallinity and crystallite size. These results indicated that the cellulose crystallite size affects the thermal degradation temperature of natural fibers. This study showed that through the methods used, previous information about the structure and properties of lignocellulosic fibers can be obtained before use in composite formulations.

Authors: Synowiec Alicja , Gniewosz Małgorzata , Kraśniewska Karolina , Chlebowska-Śmigiel Anna , Przybył Jarosław , Bączek Katarzyna , Węglarz Zenon
Published: August 2014

The study involved an examination of the antifungal activity on red peppers of pullulan coating (P) and pullulan coating containing either water-ethanol (P + eEMF) or ethanol extract of meadowsweet flowers (P + eEMF). Pullulan was obtained from a culture of Aureobasidium pullulans B-1 mutant. Both non-inoculated peppers and those artificially inoculated with Rhizopus arrhizus were coated and incubated at 24 °C for 5 days. The intensity of the decay caused by Rhizopus arrhizus in the peppers with P and P + eEMF coatings was nearly 3-fold lower, and in the case of P + weEMF 5-fold lower, than that observed in the control peppers. Additionally, the P + weEMF coating decreased, almost two-fold the severity of pepper decay compared to other samples. The influence of coating of pepper postharvest quality was examined after 30 days of storage at 6 °C and 70%–75% RH. All coatings formed a thin and well-attached additional layer of an intensified gloss. During storage, color, total soluble solid content and weight loss of coated peppers were subject to lower changes in comparison with uncoated ones. The results indicate the possibility of the application of pullulan coatings containing MFEs as an alternative to the chemical fungicides used to combat pepper postharvest diseases.
Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New Pyridone-Annelated Isoindigos as Anti-Proliferative Agents
Authors: Saleh Ayman , Al-As'ad Randa , El-Abadelah Mustafa , Sabri Salim , Zahra Jalal , Alaskar Ahmed , Aljada Ahmad
Published: August 2014

A selected set of substituted pyridone-annelated isoindigos 3a–f has been synthesized via interaction of 5- and 6-substituted oxindoles 2a–f with 6-ethyl-1,2,9-trioxopyrrolo[3,2-f]quinoline-8-carboxylic acid (1) in acetic acid at reflux. Among these isoindigos, the 5'-chloro and 5'-bromo derivatives 3b and 3d show strong and selective antiproliferative activities against a panel of human hematological and solid tumor cell-lines, but not against noncancerous cells, suggesting their potential use as anticancer agents. In all the tested cell lines, compound 3b was a 25%–50% more potent inhibitor of cell growth than 3d, suggesting the critical role of the substitution at 5'-position of the benzo-ring E. The IC50 values after 48 hours incubation with the 5'-chloro compound 3b were 6.60 µM in K562, 8.21 µM in THP-1, 8.97 µM in HepG2, 11.94 µM in MCF-7 and 14.59 µM in Caco-2 cancer cells, while the IC50 values in noncancerous HEK-293 and L-929 were 30.65 µM and 40.40 µM, respectively. In addition, compound 3b induced higher levels apoptosis in K562 cells than 3d, as determined by annexin V/7-AAD flowcytometry analysis. Therefore, further characterization of the antitproliferative mechanisms of compounds 3b and 3d may provide a novel chemotherapeutic agents.
Who is in Control? How Women in a Halfway House Use Faith to Recover from Drug Addiction
Authors: Kerley Kent , Deitzer Jessica , Leban Lindsay
Published: August 2014

Religious adherents from most major faith traditions struggle in balancing their individual agency with divine leadership. While this issue of individual versus divine control is complex for those in free society, it becomes even more so when applied to those in correctional and treatment settings. For those attempting to recover from drug addiction, a common conclusion is that drugs have taken control of their lives, thus it is necessary for them to reclaim control. Via a narrative analysis of semi-structured interviews with 30 former drug addicts residing in a faith-based halfway house for women, we explore how the women make sense of losing control of their lives due to their drug use, but then being taught to regain control by surrendering to a higher power. We find strong evidence of Deferring and Collaborative religious coping styles and these coping styles structure how the women discuss the future and their strategies for success.
An Object-Based Hierarchical Method for Change Detection Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Images
Authors: Qin Rongjun
Published: August 2014

There have been increasing demands for automatically monitoring urban areas in very high detail, and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with auto-navigation (AUNA) system offers such capability. This study proposes an object-based hierarchical method to detect changes from UAV images taken at different times. It consists of several steps. In the first step, an octocopter with AUNA capability is used to acquire images at different dates. These images are registered automatically, based on SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) feature points, via the general bundle adjustment framework. Thus, the Digital Surface Models (DSMs) and orthophotos can be generated for raster-based change analysis. In the next step, a multi-primitive segmentation method combining the spectral and geometric information is proposed for object-based analysis. In the final step, a multi-criteria decision analysis is carried out concerning the height, spectral and geometric coherence, and shape regularity for change determination. Experiments based on UAV images with five-centimeter ground resolution demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, leading to the conclusion that this method is practically applicable for frequent monitoring.
Spatial and Temporal Variability in the Onset of the Growing Season on Svalbard, Arctic Norway — Measured by MODIS-NDVI Satellite Data
Authors: Karlsen Stein , Elvebakk Arve , Høgda Kjell , Grydeland Tom
Published: August 2014

The Arctic is among the regions with the most rapid changes in climate and has the expected highest increase in temperature. Changes in the timing of phenological phases, such as onset of the growing season observed from remote sensing, are among the most sensitive bio-indicators of climate change. The study area here is the High Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, located between 76°30ʹ and 80°50ʹN. The goal of this study was to use MODIS Terra data (the MOD09Q1 and MOD09A1 surface reflectance products, both with 8-day temporal composites) to map the onset of the growing season on Svalbard for the 2000–2013 period interpreted from field observations. Due to a short and intense period with greening-up and frequent cloud cover, all the cloud free data is needed, which requires reliable cloud masks. We used a combination of three cloud removing methods (State QA values, own algorithms, and manual removal). This worked well, but is time-consuming as it requires manual interpretation of cloud cover. The onset of the growing season was then mapped by a NDVI threshold method, which showed high correlation (r2 = 0.60, n = 25, p < 0.001) with field observations of flowering of Salix polaris (polar willow). However, large bias was found between NDVI-based mapped onset and field observations in bryophyte-dominated areas, which indicates that the results in these parts must be interpreted with care. On average for the 14-year period, the onset of the growing season occurs after July 1st in 68.4% of the vegetated areas of Svalbard. The mapping revealed large variability between years. The years 2000 and 2008 were extreme in terms of late onset of the growing season, and 2002 and 2013 had early onset. Overall, no clear trend in onset of the growing season for the 2000–2013 period was found.
Sustainability Assessment and Indicators: Tools in a Decision-Making Strategy for Sustainable Development
Authors: Waas Tom , Hugé Jean , Block Thomas , Wright Tarah , Benitez-Capistros Francisco , Verbruggen Aviel
Published: August 2014

Recognizing the urgent need for sustainability, we argue that to move beyond the rhetoric and to actually realize sustainable development, it must be considered as a decision-making strategy. We demonstrate that sustainability assessment and sustainability indicators can be powerful decision-supporting tools that foster sustainable development by addressing three sustainability decision-making challenges: interpretation, information-structuring, and influence. Particularly, since the 1990s many substantial and often promising sustainability assessment and sustainability indicators efforts are made. However, better practices and a broader shared understanding are still required. We aim to contribute to that objective by adopting a theoretical perspective that frames SA and SI in the context of sustainable development as a decision-making strategy and that introduces both fields along several essential aspects in a structured and comparable manner.
Mixing Performance of a Suspended Stirrer for Homogenizing Biodegradable Food Waste from Eatery Centers
Authors: Babarinsa Olumide , Ogedengbe Emmanuel , Rosen Marc
Published: August 2014

Numerical simulation of a suspended stirrer within a homogenizing system is performed towards determining the mixing performance of a homogenizer. A two-dimensional finite volume formulation is developed for the cylindrical system that is used for the storage and stirring of biodegradable food waste from eatery centers. The numerical solver incorporates an analysis of the property distribution for viscous food waste in a storage tank, while coupling the impact of mixing on the slurry fluid. Partial differential equations, which describe the conservation of mass, momentum and energy, are applied. The simulation covers the mixing and heating cycles of the slurry. Using carrot-orange soup as the operating fluid (and its thermofluid properties) and assuming constant density and temperature-dependent viscosity, the velocity and temperature field distribution under the influence of the mixing source term are analyzed. A parametric assessment of the velocity and temperature fields is performed, and the results are expected to play a significant role in designing a homogenizer for biodegradable food waste.
Is Resistance to Dolutegravir Possible When This Drug Is Used in First-Line Therapy?
Authors: Mesplède Thibault , Wainberg Mark
Published: August 2014

Dolutegravir (DTG) is an HIV integrase inhibitor that was recently approved for therapy by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States. When used as part of first-line therapy, DTG is the only HIV drug that has not selected for resistance mutations in the clinic. We believe that this is due to the long binding time of DTG to the integrase enzyme as well as greatly diminished replication capacity on the part of viruses that might become resistant to DTG. We further speculate that DTG might be able to be used in strategies aimed at HIV eradication.
Impact of Forest Cover and Aridity on the Interplay between Effective Rooting Depth and Annual Runoff in South-West Western Australia
Authors: Smettem Keith , Callow Nik
Published: August 2014

Variants of the Budkyo hydrological model describe the effects of land use change on annual water yield. A recent modification using a simple process-based ecohydrological model provides insight into the partitioning of rainfall between runoff and evapotranspiration. In particular, the ‘effective vegetation rooting depth’ becomes the single free parameter in the model and can be related to land use and climate. We applied this approach to investigate the relations between mean annual runoff from 2000 to 2011, catchment average effective rooting depth and the proportion of forest cover across eleven catchments in South-west Western Australia. The proportion of forested and cleared land was partitioned using MODIS minimum annual average LAI values from 1 km2 pixels over 2000–2011, with forest clearing ranging from 1% to 98% across the 11 catchments. Estimated mean annual runoff using catchment averaged effective rooting depths for forest and cleared (grassland) land obtained using an independent physiologically-based model gave better estimates than a widely used ‘default’ Budkyo-based model. If effective rooting depth declines with aridity, as described by the model then runoff decline may be considerably less (about 50%) than predicted if the effective root depth remains unchanged (70%–92% decline). This highlights the importance of understanding ecohydrological feedbacks between vegetation and climate in projecting scenarios of water yield response to climate change.
Integrated Water Resource Management and Energy Requirements for Water Supply in the Copiapó River Basin, Chile
Authors: Suárez Francisco , Muñoz José , Fernández Bonifacio , Dorsaz Jean-Marc , Hunter Christian , Karavitis Christos , Gironás Jorge
Published: August 2014

Population and industry growth in dry climates are fully tied to significant increase in water and energy demands. Because water affects many economic, social and environmental aspects, an interdisciplinary approach is needed to solve current and future water scarcity problems, and to minimize energy requirements in water production. Such a task requires integrated water modeling tools able to couple surface water and groundwater, which allow for managing complex basins where multiple stakeholders and water users face an intense competition for limited freshwater resources. This work develops an integrated water resource management model to investigate the water-energy nexus in reducing water stress in the Copiapó River basin, an arid, highly vulnerable basin in northern Chile. The model was utilized to characterize groundwater and surface water resources, and water demand and uses. Different management scenarios were evaluated to estimate future resource availability, and compared in terms of energy requirements and costs for desalinating seawater to eliminate the corresponding water deficit. Results show a basin facing a very complex future unless measures are adopted. When a 30% uniform reduction of water consumption is achieved, 70 GWh over the next 30 years are required to provide the energy needed to increase the available water through seawater desalination. In arid basins, this energy could be supplied by solar energy, thus addressing water shortage problems through integrated water resource management combined with new technologies of water production driven by renewable energy sources.
Les deux morceaux de sarcophages sculptés, du type du Sud-Ouest de la France, découverts dans le sanctuaire majeur de l’église abbatiale de Caunes-Minervois
Authors: Cazes Daniel
Published: August 2014

These two fragments, one in a rather good state of preservation, the other worn out by people walking on the gothic pavement of the sanctuary of the abbey church on which both had been reused raises several interesting questions. We will do our best to answer them. Otherwise, we will very modestly make a few suggestions, in the light of similar cases which will be discussed during the colloquium. There is no doubt as to the belonging of the sculptures to a type of sarcophagi particular to a wide South-West of Gaul, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rhône valley and from the Pyrénées to the Massif Central, with a high density (and production ?) in the Garonne valley and in Low Languedoc. The main characteristics, which are also to be found at Caunes, will be specified. The origin of these sculptured marbles, broken before or for their re-use in the pavement of the medieval church, where their decorated faces were left apparent, remains quite mysterious. Did the complete sarcophagi they are remains belong to a Paleo-christian necropolis at Caunes or in its neighbourhood ? Did they come from a more distant place ? Where were they created ? Does their presence in the abbey testify to their re-use for privileged monumental tombs during the pre-Romanesque or Romanesque period ?
Caunes-Minervois et l’hérésie cathare
Authors: Roche Julien
Published: August 2014

Inquisition registers which are the main available sources for the knowledge of heresy in the South of France are particularly poor concerning Catharism at Caunes-Minervois. The only somewhat detailed mentions concern the last third of the XIIIth century. Other sources allow to rectify this deceptive impression. The royal inquiries concerning faidiments

in Languedoc and certain documents copied in the Doat collection of the National French Library give valuable information as to the place of heresy at Caunes and in its region. Caunes played a particular role in the fight against heresy. By 1226, the Cathar Bishop of Carcassés Pierre Isarn is burnt there. Ten years later, inquisitor Ferrier is installed at Caunes, in the abbey probably, a place from which he launches the inquiries of the court against people suspected of heresy. At the end of the century, the heresy at Caunes will again be brought to light through the supposed links of abbot Pierre de Pelages with Catharism.
La procession contemporaine des saints martyrs de Caunes-Minervois
Authors: Maffre Blanc Elisabeth
Published: August 2014

The procession of the martyred saints of Caunes-Minervois is inscribed in a modernity creative of religious meaning and sociability, which allows it to remain really dynamic nowadays. Private celebration of the parochial community and means of expression of a certain form of devotion, it celebrates four saints to whom the inhabitants of Caunes are firmly attached : Amand, Luce, Alexandre et Audalbe whose hagiographic analysis offers a possibility of understanding the modalities and structure of today’s worship. By means of this pilgrimage, the community becomes aware of its unity and reaffirms its membership in the village of Caunes. A traditional act before all, the participation to the “ holy martyrs” is part of a family inheritance that successive generations transmit. This duty of memory guarantees continuity both religious and identity. It must be said that the procession doesn’t limit itself to a circuit around the church but that other strategies are at stake in which a certain idea of the destiny of Caunes-Minervois is played again and again. The valuation of this festive rite produces a specific local history the actors-pilgrims feel it belongs to them.
ASC Spheroid Geometry and Culture Oxygenation Differentially Impact Induction of Preangiogenic Behaviors in Endothelial Cells
Authors: Skiles Matthew L. , Hanna Brandon , Rucker Lindsay , Tipton Allison , Brougham-Cook Aidan , Jabbarzadeh Ehsan , Blanchette James O.
Published: August 2014

Cell-based angiogenic therapies offer potential for the repair of ischemic injuries, while avoiding several of the limitations associated with material-based growth factor delivery strategies. Evidence supports that applying MSCs as spheroids rather than dispersed cells can improve retention and enhance therapeutic effect through increased secretion of angiogenic factors due to hypoxia. However, while spheroid culture appears to modulate MSC behavior, there has been little investigation of how major culture parameters that affect cellular oxygen tension, such as external oxygenation and culture size, impact the angiogenic potential of spheroids. We cultured equal numbers of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) as spheroids containing 10,000 (10k) or 60,000 (60k) cells each, in 20% and 2% oxygen. VEGF secretion varied among the sample groups, with 10k, 2% O2 spheroids exhibiting the highest production. Spheroid-conditioned media was applied to HUVEC monolayers, and proliferation was assessed. Spheroids of either size in 2% oxygen induced comparable proliferation compared to a 2 ng/ml VEGF control sample, while spheroids in 20% oxygen induced less proliferation. Spheroids were also applied in coculture with HUVEC monolayers, and induction of migration through a Transwell membrane was evaluated. Sixty thousand, 2% O2 spheroids induced similar levels of migration as VEGF controls, while 10k, 2% O2 spheroids induced significantly more. Ten thousand, 20% spheroids performed no better than VEGF-free controls. We conclude that the therapeutic ability of ASC spheroids to stimulate angiogenesis in endothelial cells is affected by both culture size and oxygenation parameters, suggesting that, while ASC spheroids offer potential in the treatment of injured and ischemic tissues, careful consideration of culture size in respect to in vivo local oxygen tension will be necessary for optimal results.
Merging Person-Centered Care With Translational Research to Improve the Lives of Older Adults: Creating Community-Based Nursing Research Networks
Authors: Hill Nikki L. , Penrod Janice , Milone-Nuzzo Paula
Published: August 2014

Translational research is a leading trend in science with the aim of bridging the research–practice gap to significantly speed the implementation of effective interventions in clinical practice. Integrating the values and preferences of older adults and their families into this process is critical to the success of translational research. Engaging communities in meaningful research is an important part of advancing translational science in which older adults are partners in developing solutions to the health needs of individuals within communities. The current article describes one approach to developing an infrastructure (i.e., community-based nursing research network) to support patient-centered care within translational research. Nurses are uniquely poised and prepared to assume leadership roles in community-based research networks to support a true collaboration among stakeholders that prizes the voices of older adults and integrates them into practice efforts.

Three typological approaches to Catalonian archival evidence, 10-12 centuries
Authors: Benito i Monclús Pere , Kosto Adam J. , Taylor Nathaniel L.
Published: August 2014

[fr] Cet article tripartite s'inspire de la survivance d'un grand nombre de documents catalans des Xe-XIIe siècles. Il rassemble les conclusions partielles de trois recherches de doctorat menées à partir d'un grande nombre d'actes d'un seul type: documents de publication et authentification testamentaires (Nathaniel L. Taylor), convenientiae et executions d'accords (Adam J. Kosto), et contrats d'accensement appelés precariae (Pere Benito). Dans chaque cas, l'analyse d'un grand nombre de documents a permis de bâtir une typologie complexe, non seulement dans le traditionnel sens diplomatique du terme, mais aussi en considérant la fonction des actes et les causes sociales et les implications des changements dans leur forme et leur fonction. Les documents de publication testamentaires mettent en relief un système judiciaire qui existait depuis longtemps; les changements dans la forme des documents et l'identité des autorités reflètent la transformation de ce système périmé pendant les Xle et Xlle siècles. L'étude d'un conflit entre deux comtes révélé par des convenientiae du milieu du Xle siècle montre les réponses des écrivains aux changements de la conduite politique. L'analyse des contrats d'accensement, enfin, montre la diversité d'emplois dont cette figure juridique fait l'objet tout au long de trois siècles. Ces trois études ensemble démontrent la nature du travail que peut être fait à partir d'un grande nombre d'actes d'un seul type.

La premièrepartie étudie les mesures restrictives de type sociales et économiques ainsi que discriminatoires prises par le Pape Benoît XIII. Avec unepopulation d'environ 425 habitants la communauté juive a une configurationpolitique consolidée dans laquelle les organes judiciaires etgouvernementaux, ces derniers sous la direction de trois adelantados, prennent de plus en plus d'importance. La société est divisée en troismains (majeure, moyenne et mineure), en fonction des critères fiscaux, où l'on perçoit la présence de corporations d'assistance. Dès le début du XVème siècle, le quartier juif commence à s'endetter et rassemble des fonds par le biais de souscriptions de redevance. Le quartier juif situé à l'origine entre la Portre de San Ginés et la Rue San Nicolás, subit un incendie ravageur en 1375 après lequel il fallut reconstruirepartiellemente les habitations. En ce qui concerne l'économie, la présencejuive a fortement marqué l'exploitation et la commercialisation de la laine et surtout l'industrie artisanale du cuir et de la chaussure. Dansl'appendice de cet ouvrage vous retrouverez les responsa du Rabbin Salamon ben Adret et Isaac ben Sheshet qui ont trait à ce Kahal.
La redacción y promulgación de la "Costum " de Valencia
Authors: García Edo Vicente
Published: August 2014

[fr] Depuis plus d'un siècle, beaucoup d'historiens du droit ont étudié le texte de la "Costum" de Valence, en voulant découvrir qui a été son auteur, quelles sont ses sources documentaires, comment elle a été composée et organisée, et quand elle a été publiée.
Toutes ces questions ont des brieves mais concisses réponses dans cet article où on les analise, et où on remarque l'importance du "Corpus iuris civilis", le "Liber iudicum", les "Usatges" de Barcelone, et les "Consuetudines ilerdenses", comme les plus importantes sources documentaires de la "Costum" de Valence. A la tin on propose que la date de publication du texte se situe autour du F. Novembre 1238.
Pesos, mides i mesures a la Catalunya del segle XIII. Aportació al seu estudi
Authors: Riu Manuel
Published: August 2014

[fr] Après avoir fait des considérations générales sur la métrologie médiévale, la grande variété de poids et mesures et les différents essais d'unification aux lXᵉ-XlIᵉ et XVIᵉ siècles, on essaie de systématiser les unités de poids, capacité et longueur à partir des systèmes romain et arabe, cherchant aussi leurs équivalences avec le système métrique décimal, aujourd'hui en vigueur, pour faciliter les études économiques de l'époque médiévale. On présente successivement pour le XllIᵉ siècle les systèmes de médition à partir de la balance, les tables d'équivalences des unités de poids et de longueur; les mesures de capacité pour les arides avec une attention spéciale à la quartera et au cahiz avec leurs sous-multiples respectifs, et les mesures de capacité pour les liquides. On met en rapport les poids et mesures fondamentales et l'étude prétend constituer une base d'analyse pour résoudre des problèmes de métrologie historique qui compliquent le travail du spécialiste en thèmes économiques. On ajoute une bibliographie orientative et complémentaire.
Presencia trovadoresca en la Corona de Aragón
Authors: De Riquer Isabel
Published: August 2014

[fr]Les troubadours qui se sont réunis autour du roi Alphonse II d'Aragon ou ceux qui de loin, l'ont nommé dans leurs chansons, sont devenus les partisans de sa politique ultrapyrénéenne, ce qui n'a pas empêché que, dans d'autres occasions, ils se soient manifestés avec sévérité contre certaines attitudes du monarque. Ils ont agi, donc, comme chroniqueurs des événements historiques et ménagers de leur temps, au moyen de poèmes d'une haute exigence artistique.
Après l'âge d'or de l'activité des troubadours, qui coïncide avec le règne du roi Alphonse, son petit-fils Jacques I est mentionné, dès sa propre cour ou dès l'autre côté des Pyrénées, par plus d'une vingtaine de troubadours et jongleurs, entre 1213 —à peu près— et 1276, année du décès du roi. Les affaires intérieures de son royaume, ses rapports avec la cour castillane, sa passivité devant l'invasion de Provence par la maison de France, le projet de Croisade de l'année 1269 et sa mort, sont des événements qui peuvent être suivis au détail à travers les sirventes.
Aussi dans certaines chansons les troubadours d'office de cette deuxième moitié du XIIIᵉ siècle ne cachent ni ne dissimulent pas l'insécurité qu'ils éprouvent par rapport à son métier, en faisant des allusions à de continuelles rivalités qui montent leur souci pour le maintien de leur moyen de vie. Paulet de Marselha, Guiraut Riquier et Cerveri de Girona, parmi d'autres, se plaignent de ne pas être accueillis dans les cours que de façon provisionnelle, de dépendre toujours de la générosité et de l'humeur des princes, d'avoir le besoin de réclamer au lieu d'être recherchés, et, peut être, d'apparaître dans les livres de comptes de la chancellerie royale, et d'être rémunérés, comme "juglar Paulet" ou comme "G. de Cervaria, ioculatori" ou "mimmo", au lieu d'être nommés troubadours, métier qui avait été si soigneusement décrit par Alphonse X le Sage. Il porrait y avoir aussi une autre raison pour laquelle ils éprouvent de l'ennui de se voir en rapport avec la jonglerie. Dans cette même époque des écrivains moralistes comme Thomas de Cabham ou Ramon Llull lancent des critiques si dures et directes contre les jongleurs et leurs compositions, qu'il paraît qu'ils fassent des allusions à des sirventes de troubadours comme Bertrán de Born, Guillem de Berguedà, Cerveri de Girona ou d'autres parmi ceux qui sont récueillis dans cet article.
Vida i importància de Ramon Llull en el context del segle XIII
Authors: Hillgarth J. N.
Published: August 2014

[fr] Une esquisse de l'arrière-fond de la vie et des idées de Raymond Lulle (1232-1316). On voudrait faire sortir les aspects où il se trouvait d'accord avec les idées sur les missions et les croisades soutenues par les papes et les dominicains et franciscains de son époque et aussi les principales différences, dues en grande partie au fait de son éducation à Majorque (et non dans une université comme à Paris) et à son état laïque et son rang comme membre de la maison royale de Jacques II de Majorque.

[fr] Dans ce bref travail on analyse, très succintement l'organisation administrative et économique du chapitre de la cathédrale de Cuenca dès sa fondation à la fin du XIIᵉ siècle et tout au long du XIIIᵉ siècle. D'abord on étudie l'origine de cette institution encadrée dans le processus de création du diocèse de Cuenca, ensuite on analyse la difference hiérarchique entre ses membres et le rôle de ceux-ci dans le culte de la cathédrale et du gouvernement diocésain, et finalement on fera l'étude des principales bases économiques et du processus initial de formation du patrimoine rural et urbain du chapitre ainsi que sa forme d'exploitation.
Un episodio en el conflicto realengo-abadengo durante el reinado de Sancho IV. El cuaderno de pesquisa de Segovia de 1287
Authors: Bartolomé Herrero Bonifacio
Published: August 2014

[fr] Ce travail veut donner une vue générale du conflit qui existait entre le realengo et le abadengo sous le règne de Sancho IV de Castille (1284-1295). Ce problème, qui existait entre les propriétés du roi et celles des institutions ecclésiastiques, s'était déjà posé sous Alphonse X et occupait une place importante parmi les affaires du royaume, place qu'il ne perdra pas durant le reste du Moyen-Âge. Après une mise en place générale du conflit et de son évolution sous le règne de Sancho IV, nous étudions son développement pendant ce règne à Ségovie, à travers d'un cuaderno de pesquisa réalisé en 1287 et qui contenait les biens immeubles reçus par les institutions religieuses ségoviennes depuis 1276. Finalement, et en raison de son caractère particulier, nous transcrivons totalement ce cuaderno de pesquisa.
La pesquisa en Castilla y Aragón: un caso curioso del Libre deis Feyts de Jaume I
Authors: Craddock Jerry R.
Published: August 2014

[fr] Dans son autobiographie le Libre dels Feyts, Jacques I le Conquérant, roi d'Aragon, décrit un procédé juridique qu'il a utilisé en 1267 contre une bande de faux-monnayeurs de la ville de Tarazona. Ce procédé, appelle "inquisició" par le roi, correspond pas à pas à la "pesquisa" du royaume voisin de Castille, bien que l'inquisition était théoriquement exclue de l'établissement juridique aragonais. Ici on compare les étapes du procès raconté par Jacques I avec les règlements sur la "pesquisa" dans la législation contemporaine d'Alphonse X le Sage.
El cambio del latín al romance en la cancillería real de Castilla
Authors: MacDonald Robert A.
Published: August 2014

[fr] En Castille le mouvement de vernacularisation s'est manifesté en loi, en littérature, et en historiographie au cours du treizième siècle. Dans la chancellerie royale, ce changement s'est produit pendant le deuxième quart du siècle. Les agents principaux en étaient les vice-chanceliers et certains scribes, surtout ceux de Ségovie. La langue romane écrite y était reconnue comme une langue séparée du latin, plutôt qu'une déformation ou qu'une variation, dès la première décade du treizième siècle. Son emploi était généralisé après le milieu des années 1240 dans une opération accomplie avant le milieu du siècle.

El conde García Ordóñez, rival del Cid Campeador. Su familia, sus servicios a Alfonso VI
Authors: Canal Sánchez-Pagín José María
Published: August 2014

[fr] Le comte García Ordoñez apparais comme le rival du Cid Campeador dans les ouvrages littéraires que louent ce dernier. Ces ouvrages sont: Historia Ruderici Campidocti, Carmen Campidoctoris et le Cantar de Mío Cid. Au même time, logiquement, tentent de dénigrer le comte Garcia mélangeant éléments historiques avec éléments fabuleux. Les auteurs des Crónicas Generales tombèrent dans le piège et présentaient comme histoire ce que était plus qu'une fiction. Cet article tente de démentir la légende noire et présenter la personne historique du comte, utilisant documents dignes de foi: on parle de ses ancêtres, son épouse, ses fils, sa loyauté au roi Alfonse VI, sa participation à la Reconquête, son pas par trahison aux Maures, sa chute en disgrâce du roi, sa inaptitude comme stratège, etc.
Remences redimits. El domini de l'Almoina del Pa de la Seu de Girona (1331-1458)
Authors: Lluch i Bramón Rosa
Published: August 2014

[fr] Le but de cette recherche est de tenter d'approcher la situation de la paysannerie de remença (serf de la glèbe) dans le diocèse de Girona pendant le Bas Moyen Age.
L'objectif premier en est l'étude des rançons: c'est-à-dire le rachat de la liberté personnelle des remences de l'almoina del pa (l'aumône du pain) du siège episcopal dans la période comprise entre 1331 et 1458. Cette rançon, si caractéristique en Catalogne, a fini par donner son nom aux paysans qui y étaient soumis.
Dans le cadre de ce travail plus de cinq cents rançons ont était étudiées. Elles correspondent toutes au même domaine territorial et étaient consignées dans les manuels de comptes des Pabordes de l’Almoina de Girona. Cette source documentaire était déjà connue mais jamais elle n'avait été utilisée dans ce sens.
Le suivi chronologique du prix et du nombre de rançons est l'un des points qui a guidé cette recherche, mais celle-ci s'attache également à l'analyse des divers motifs qui ont été á la base de leur création.
El segon monestir de Jonqueres i el molí d'En Carbonell
Authors: Costa i Paretas Maria Mercè
Published: August 2014

[fr] L'Ordre militaire de Saint Jacques, au XIIIème siècle, eut le premier monastère féminin de Sainte Marie de Jonqueres près de Sabadell. Avec l'autorisation du roi Jacques I, Pere Carbonell bâtit un moulin extra-muros de Barcelone. Le roi céda son droit et son domaine sur le moulin au Maître du susdit Ordre et permit la construction, tout près de celui-là, d'un deuxième monastère pour les dames de Jonqueres. Bientôt, en 1300, à cause de l'insalubrité de l'endroit, elles ont passé à leur troisième monastère, dans la ville. Elles continuèrent à exercer le domaine sur le moulin, comme l'avait exercé leur Maître. Mais lorsque le monastère de Pedralbes fut édifié, les deux communautés ont joui de ce domaine par indivis. On divisait les rentes et les fruits à moitié. Le moulin, depuis le XVème siècle, fut affermé à des meuniers. Il y eut plusieurs litiges et procès entre les deux couvents et aussi des concordes, comme celle de 1532. A cause de la guerre, en 1808, les religieuses de Jonqueres abandonnèrent à jamais leur monastère. Pourtant leurs administrateurs ont continué les louages du moulin, au moins jusqu'à 1824.
