La guerra de los mundos en algunas ficciones del Antropoceno: Agonística ambiental y poéticas de la habitabilidad // The War of the Worlds in some Fictions of the Anthropocene: Environmental Agonistics and Poetics of Habitability
Authors: Bonvalot Anne-Laure
Published: April 2020

Resumen           En este estudio, pretendemos analizar el potencial narrativo y las implicaciones estéticas de la noción de Antropoceno en algunas ficciones ecológicas afrolusohispánicas contemporáneas. Se tratará en particular de examinar la eficacia de dicha categoría aplicada a la literatura ambiental de los Sures, en la medida en que constituye para ella no sólo una clara preferencia temática, sino que implica también unas inflexiones estéticas y formales que merecen ser analizadas de manera sistemática. Para llevar a cabo el análisis, nos apoyaremos en un corpus de tres novelas emblemáticas de dicha estética: El padre de Blancanieves, de la novelista española Belén Gopegui (2007), Os Malaquias, de la brasileña Andréa del Fuego (2011) y Os Transparentes, del escritor angoleño Ondjaki (2012). Desde una perspectiva comparatista y contrastiva, intentaremos definir los contornos de lo que podría ser una ecocrítica afrolusohispánica, esbozando el marco epistémico-estético común a estas escrituras. Abstract      In this piece of work, we will consider the narrative power and the aesthetical implications of the notion of Anthropocene in some contemporary ecological fictions from the African, Hispanic and Portuguese-speaking countries. The pertinence of the category applied to the environmental literature of the Souths will be examined more particularly, in so far as it constitutes not only a clear thematical preference, but also because it implies some significant aesthetical and formal inflexions which should be analyzed in a systematic way. In order to see the analysis through, we will rely on three novels which are deemed representative of such an aesthetic: El padre de Blancanieves, written by the Spanish novelist Belén Gopegui (2007), Os Malaquias, by the Brasilian novelist Andréa del Fuego (2011) and Os Transparentes, by the Angolan novelist Ondjaki (2012). In a comparatist and contrastive perspective, we will try and bring out the epistemico-aesthetical basis which these writings have in common
“Matrices de aprendizaje” emancipadoras. OVNI (Observatorio de Video no Identificado) y el videoactivismo // Alienating and Emancipatory “Models of Learning”: An Approach to OVNI (Observatory of Non Identified Video) and its Video-activism
Authors: Alvarez-Blanco Palmar
Published: April 2020

Resumen      Partiendo de la premisa de que no estamos solo ante una crisis económica sino ante una crisis planetaria y de civilización marcada por la desaparición de los derechos humanos y los derechos de la naturaleza, este ensayo revisa el concepto de colonialidad del saber o “colonialismo interno” (Rivera Cusicanqui) junto al de matriz del aprendizaje capitalista como estructura instituyente tanto de la psique colonizadora como de la subalterna y de las relaciones entre ambas y el mundo. En este contexto, propongo pensar el videoactivismo de OVNI [Observatorio de Video no identificado] como posible herramienta cultural emancipadora y de trabajo en un proceso de cambio político.  Abstract      Starting from the premise that we are not dealing with only an economic crisis but also a planetary crisis marked by the disappearance of human and environmental rights, this essay looks at the concepts of colonization of knowledge or “internal colonialization” (Rivera Cusicanqui) alongside with the neo-liberal capitalist model of learning as an institutive structure of the colonizing and the colonized psyche as well as the social relationship between the two of them and the world. In this context, I propose to think the video-activism of OVNI (Observatory of Non-Identified Video) as a possible cultural emancipatory tool and one that can be used in a process of political change.
Transatlantic Sertões: The Backlands of Ruy Duarte de Carvalho and Mia Couto // Los sertões transatlánticos: Los transpaíses de Ruy Duarte de Carvalho y Mía Couto

Submergence: On Transatlantic Ecocriticism, Islands and Archipelagos // Sumersión: Sobre ecocrítica, islas y archipiélagos transatlánticos
Authors: Trevathan John H
Published: April 2020

In Yo maté a Kennedy, Manuel Vázquez Montalbán wrote with irony: “ecological truth drives historical truth.” Today, the direct connection between ecological and historical truths is quite serious. In his polemical essay “Four Theses on Climate History,” Dipesh Chakrabarty argues that, in order to explain anthropogenic climate change, geological history should be included in human history. In other words, “ecological truth” should be integral to “historical truth.” What is missing in this observation is a sense of socio-political difference. What is needed is not a consideration of isolated regions, whether they are national, ecological or linguistic, but rather an analysis that investigates a constellation of social movements, objects and events. This means that transatlantic ecocriticism should consider how regions are connected, thinking in line with the logics of movements such as the indignados, vía campesina or altermundisme. This essay approaches a series of steps between Spain and Cuba, examining various texts and terrains that are stylistically and historically distinct. I focus on the tropes of the island and the archipelago in the works of Cuban poet José Lezama Lima and the Catalan writer Francesc Serés. Resumen      En Yo maté a Kennedy, Manuel Vázquez Montalbán dice con ironía: “la verdad ecológica conduce a la verdad histórica.” Hoy en día, la conexión directa entre la verdad ecológica y la histórica es bastante seria.

Published: April 2020

In this paper, for the first time, naturally occurring dolomitic limestone is employed as a heterogeneous green catalyst for the synthesis of medicinally valuable N-heterocycles, 2-aryl-1-arylmethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazoles, dihydropyrimidinones/ thiones and 2-amino-4-aryl-3,5-dicarbonitrile-6-sulfanyl-pyridines in good to excellent isolated yields via a rapid construction of C-N, C-C and C-S bond formations in 1:1 ratio of ethanol:H2O under ultrasound irradiation. Dolomitic limestone is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR, Raman and SEM with EDAX analyses. Further, the catalyst is environmentally benevolent, non-toxic, most abundant, easy to handle low catalyst loading and is reused 7 times without significant loss of catalytic activity. Hence, the catalyst is greener alternative for the synthesis of aforementioned N-heterocycles as compared with the existing reported catalysts.

Published: April 2020

Рассмотрены вопросы обнаружения и тушения пожара при высокостеллажном складировании продукции, являющейся пожарной нагрузкой, с использованием пожарных извещателей и автоматических установок пожаротушения (АУП). Проанализированы различные схемы АУП и подачи огнетушащих веществ (ОТВ), их преимущества и недостатки. Исходя из особенностей пожара на стеллажных складах, показана необходимость скорейшего его обнаружения и подачи ОТВ. Сформулированы задачи, решение которых позволит добиться максимальной эффективности применения АУП на высокостеллажных складах.

Currently, there is a tendency to equip objects (warehouses, shopping centers) with racks for storing various products. The stored products represent a significant fire load (combustible packaging, products themselves, etc.). Racks can be of a great height (more than 10 m), be located both in isolation and in groups, and even be load-bearing as a part of the power frame of the building. The technology of racks loading and unloading provides for the use of electric cars with special lifts (stacker). The result of a fire at an object with high-rack storage (HRS) is a large material damage due to the destruction of stored products and damage (collapse) of the building as well as risk to people and undesirable socio-psychological resonance. Due to rapid flame spread on a vertical in case of fire on the object with HRS, the most important condition for the effective use of automatic fire extinguishing systems is to minimize the time both of fire detection and of commencement of extinguishing agent supply by appropriate sprinklers. It can be achieved by means: a) of special heat-accumulating screens above the racks at a large distance from the top of the stored goods to the ceiling that ensure the speedy operation of heat detectors; b) of satellite detectors which provide a compulsory start-up of the sprinklers. For the purpose of selective operation each satellite fire detector is equipped with a deflector or diaphragm so that the field of view of the detector agrees with the irrigated area. To concentrate the fire extinguishing agent supply directly to the high-rise rack and to provide increased irrigation intensity at the border of the sprayed stream, the spray angle of the sprinkler is limited by the flow shaper. Most often, the sprayed water flow is supplied to the upper tier of the rack and its side surface. Thus, this article presents the features of effective fire fighting at objects with HRS of products that are a fire load at an early stage of fire ignition. Various schemes of automatic fire extinguishing systems and their start-up are analyzed. In the future, it is necessary to carry out a calculated justification of the sprinkler installation sites to ensure the fire extinguishing agent supply both to the upper part and side surface of the burning rack as well as to protect neighbour racks and building structures.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT:

OBJECTIVES: To determine the frequency of thrombocytopenia in dengue fever at the time of diagnosis and to see its association with age and gender.

METHODOLOGY: It was a descriptive retrospective study of dengue cases admitted to the Medical Unit of Naseer Teaching Hospital Peshawar during the 2019 outbreak was performed. Only confirmed dengue by serology (IgM) or dengue NS1 (Non-Specific Antigen 1) by Immunochromatographic Technique (ICT) cases were analysed. Complete Blood Count (CBC) was done for all the cases on admission and prevalence of thrombocytopenia on admission was extracted from the records. SPSS version 23 was used to analyse the data and to calculate Odds Ratio of a gender or age group to have thrombocytopenia at the presentation of dengue fever.

RESULTS: A total of 69 confirmed dengue cases were admitted in Naseer Teaching Hospital in the 2019 outbreak. Out of these 69 cases, 51 (73.9%) were males and 18 (26.1%) were females. The ages of these patients ranged from 10-58 years. Fifty-one (51) patients were more than 20 years of age and eighteen (18) were 20 years or less. Thrombocytopenia (platelet count<150,000×109/L) was present in 57 (82.6%) patients. Patients older than 20 years of age were more likely to have thrombocytopenia at presentation of dengue fever OR=16, (p=0.0003), whereas difference amongst genders in this regard was not statistically significant OR=1.07, (p=0.09).

CONCLUSION: There is a high frequency of thrombocytopenia (82.6%) in early dengue fever. Patients older than 20 years are more likely to have thrombocytopenia in early dengue fever.

Design and Develop an Information system for Court Data in the Republic of Iraq by using SSRS Reports with SSAS Cubes
Authors: Jabbar Ayad
Published: April 2020

Multidimensional Online analytical processing (MOLAP) technology is considered a good tool to produce meaningful and quality results by using a multidimensional cube. The term “multidimensional cube” is used to refer to the multiple layers of data that are used to show the result. This result is identified by high-level management to increase the Iraqi court work and to improve its quality. The Iraqi court needs an analytical report to make a
strategic decision on case date, case type, case state, judge, criminal age, and criminal gender. Currently, MOLAP is known as the best and strongest technique because it provides rapid, dynamic, and multiple analyses of data; presents knowledge from different perspectives; comes up with data in time series intervals; and drills down into multiple levels of data layers to present different types of details. The SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS) presents analysis reports based on the MOLAP cube. This paper focuses on designing and developing the analysis reports of the court data system of the Republic of Iraq by using SSRS with SQL Server Analysis Service to create the MOLAP cubes.

Published: April 2020

The rapid growth in microelectronics and crunching RISC in the field of bio-medical sciences incorporated of soft tools to diagnose various parameters of human fluids. Conventional method of blood sample analysis makes use of laboratory technique of titration, which is operator-dependent and results in lot of errors depending on the skill of the technician. In order to eliminate the human errors involved in the conventional method, in this paper an attempt has been made to present a capillary centrifuge technique driven by high speed DC motor fed by Morgan chopper and controlled by powerful ARM processor. It results in accurate analysis of the blood samples. The various techniques involved in accurate sensing of speed using timer and generation of firing pulses to thyristor in the Morgan chopper is judiciously achieved. This paper clearly brings out the advantages of the proposed blood measurement technique which effectively gives blood analysis faster and at a low cost.

Reactive Power Contribution and Pricing for Restructured Power Industry
Authors: M Susithra , R Gnanadass
Published: April 2020

Competitive trend towards restructuring and unbundling of transmission services has resulted in the need renteto discover the impact of a particular generator to load. This paper initially presents the analysis of three diffreactive power valuation methods namely, Modified Ybus, Virtual flow approach and Modified Power flow tracing to compute the reactive power output from a particular generator to particular load. Among these methods, the modified power flow electricity tracing method is identified as the best because of its various features. Secondly, based on this Method, the opportunity cost for practical system is determined. Hence, this method can be useful in providing additional insight into power system operation and can be used to modify existing tariffs of charging for reactive power transmission loss and reactive power transmission services. Simulation and comparison results are shown by taking IEEE 30 bus system as test system.
Control Strategy for Three-Phase PWM Boost Rectifier Operating Under Different Supply Voltage Conditions
Authors: Hassan Turki , Abdullah Muntadher
Published: April 2020

In this paper, a proposed control strategy is presented to improve the performance of the pulse width modulation (PWM) boost type rectifier when operating under different supply voltage conditions (balanced, unbalanced, and distorted three-phase supply voltages). The proposed control strategy is divided into two parts, the first part is voltage controller and the second part is current controller. In the voltage controller, Repetitive Controller (RC) is used to reduce the even order harmonics in the regulated output dc voltage so small output capacitor (filter) is used instead of large capacitor. RC also reduces the even order harmonics which appear in the reflected dc current (IMAX), this leads to reduce the odd order harmonics which appear in the input currents. While in the current controller, Enhanced Phase Locked Loop (EPLL) technique is used to obtain sinusoidal and balanced three phases, to construct the reference currents, which are in phase with the fundamental supply voltages. Therefore, the supply-side power factor is kept close to unity. A proportional controller is used to give excellent tracking between the line and the reference currents. The complete system with the proposed control strategy are simulated using Matlab/Simulink. The results for the complete system using repetitive voltage controller are obtained and compared to the results of the system with the conventional voltage controller (Proportional-Integral (PI) controller connected in series with a Low Pass Filter (LPF)). The results with the repetitive controller show better response and stable operation in the steady state under different input voltage conditions, as well as in the transient response under changing the load condition.

Study of the Decay Rates of the Umbral Area of Sunspot Groups Using a High-resolution Database
Authors: Muraközy Judit
Published: April 2020

The emergence and decay of the sunspot groups are important components of the solar dynamo models. There are two different types of studies on the evolution of active regions. One of them is based on fewer data with higher spatial resolution, the other one uses more data with lower spatial resolution. The input data of the present study allow the investigation with high resolution both spatially and temporally. The temporal resolution of the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory Debrecen sunspot database is one and a half hours, and it also makes it possible to identify all individual sunspots with the position, area, and magnetic polarity. More than 200 sunspot groups have been selected, which have clear maxima on the solar disk, and the decrease of their umbral area is observable during at least four days. The decay rates were calculated by using two data: the umbral area and the number of contained sunspots—these decay rates were computed for the total umbral area of sunspot groups and their leading and following parts. The decay rate has a linear area dependency, and it is higher for the following part than for the leading one.
Multiple Measurements of Quasars Acting as Standard Probes: Exploring the Cosmic Distance Duality Relation at Higher Redshift
Authors: Zheng Xiaogang , Liao Kai , Biesiada Marek , Cao Shuo , Liu Tong-Hua , Zhu Zong-Hong
Published: April 2020

General relativity reproduces main current cosmological observations, assuming the validity of the cosmic distance duality relation (CDDR) at all scales and epochs. However, CDDR is poorly tested in the redshift interval between the farthest observed Type Ia supernovae and that of the cosmic microwave background. We present a new idea of testing the validity of CDDR, through the multiple measurements of high-redshift quasars. Luminosity distances are derived from the relation between the UV and X-ray luminosities of quasars, while angular diameter distances are obtained from the compact structure in radio quasars. This will create a valuable opportunity where two different cosmological distances from the same kind of objects at high redshifts are compared. Our constraints are more stringent than other currently available results based on different observational data and show no evidence for the deviation from CDDR at z ∼ 3. Such an accurate model-independent test of fundamental cosmological principles can become a milestone in precision cosmology.
Time Variations in the Flux Density of Sgr A* at 230 GHz Detected with ALMA
Authors: Iwata Yuhei , Oka Tomoharu , Tsuboi Masato , Miyoshi Makoto , Takekawa Shunya
Published: April 2020

A radio source at the Galactic center Sgr A* is a prime supermassive black hole candidate and therefore key to developing our understanding of them. Time variations in the 230 GHz band flux of Sgr A* have been found with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Cycle 5 observations. Measuring the flux density of Sgr A* in 1 minute snapshots at 217.5, 219.5, and 234.0 GHz, we obtained light curves for ten 70 minute periods. The light curves show variations at a few tens of minutes and hourly scales. The shorter timescale is similar to the orbital period of the innermost stable circular orbit around a 4 × 106
M
☉ black hole, suggesting that the variation originates from the immediate vicinity of Sgr A*. We also detected no time lag between 217.5 and 234.0 GHz and a dependence of the spectral index on the flux density.
LAMOST J040643.69+542347.8: The Fastest Rotator in the Galaxy
Authors: Li 李 Guang-Wei 广-伟
Published: April 2020

Rotation and binary interaction play important roles in understanding the nature of massive stars (≳8M
⊙). Some interesting transients, such as the long-duration gamma-ray bursts, are thought to be originated from fast-rotating massive stars. Because the strong stellar wind can effectively spin down a metal-rich massive star with fast rotation, it is very hard to find single massive stars rotating critically in the Galaxy. In the present work reported is the discovery of the fastest rotator in the Galaxy, LAMOST J040643.69+542347.8, with a projected rotational velocity

km s−1, which is ∼100 km s−1 faster than that of the previous record holder HD 191423. The star has a spectral type of O6.5 Vnnn(f)p. Its He i
λ4471 absorption line is blueshifted and asymmetric, while its He ii
λ4686 and Hα have central absorption reversals in their emissions. It is also a runaway star, which implies an origin in a close binary interaction. Compared to VFTS 285 and VFTS 102 (their

km s−1) in the Large Magellanic Cloud, LAMOST J040643.69+542347.8 has its own peculiar spectral characteristics and earlier spectral type. Moreover, LAMOST J040643.69+542347.8 is bright (B ∼ 13.9 mag) enough to allow future high-resolution spectroscopic follow-up.
New municipalism as space for solidarity
Authors: Agustín Óscar García
Published: April 2020

This article considers municipalism as a form of progressive localism, which on the one hand connects the local and the global through translocal solidarity, and on the other scales-up and becomes an alternative way of doing politics beyond the state. The main focus is on citizens'
candidatures in Spain, which have not been linked in the traditional way to a national party, and in particular on Barcelona en Comú and Barcelona mayor Ada Colau. It discusses the question of 'everyday sovereignties' - over issues such as control of water supply, energy, housing. These
are areas where cities can lead change. It also discusses cities of refuge and Barcelona's Refuge City Plan, which involves civil society in welcoming refugees to the city; and the links made through the mapping of municipalisms in the Atlas of Change and the launch of Fearless Cities.
The New Left and its legacies
Authors: Rustin Michael , Gilbert Jeremy
Published: April 2020

Mike Rustin discusses his lifelong involvement in the New Left, which began when he was still at school. He describes the history of the First New Left, including the role played within it by figures such as Stuart Hall, Edward Thompson and Raymond Williams, and the role of the New
Left in student politics in Oxford University, where Michael was a student and a leading member of the Labour club. He looks at the changing relationships between the New Left and the Labour Party in the 1960s and the publication of the May Day Manifesto in 1967. He also discusses the
founding of the New Left Review and the transition from the time of its first editor, Stuart Hall, to that of its second, Perry Anderson, as well his two terms as a member of its editorial board, and his continuing disagreements and agreements with its editorial direction. His reflections
on contemporary politics include a discussion of the relationship of New Left ideas to current movements and the Labour Party, a critique of vanguardism, and the founding of Soundings.
'I am haunted by this history but I also haunt it back': two poetry collections
Authors: Potts Kate
Published: April 2020

This article explores what it's like to live through the unravelling of a political settlement, and reflects on its complicated relationship to resistance. To do so, it discusses two young people who live thousands of miles apart and looks at some of the threads which bind them together.
Kamal lives in Cairo, and was an activist in the Egyptian revolution. He now lives with the despair of a crushed generation. Kyle, from Greater Manchester, has a suffered from a lack of social care support - directly related to austerity - that caused him to become homeless as a teenager.
Each life has been irrevocably marked by the impossibility of sustaining the settlement that existed before the financial crisis. Each young man lives under a government that has no intention of addressing their needs. Each continues, despite everything, to believe in politics. The new landscape
of political struggle contains both emancipatory and deeply revanchist possibilities. Understanding its contours will help us to find within it the people, communities and the stories that give cause for optimism.

Il n’est pas rare qu’un employé reconnu pour son expertise se voie offrir un poste de direction, une transition qui l’oblige souvent à traverser une zone de turbulences. À la tentation de devenir un expert sur tous les fronts, il vaudrait mieux, selon Wanda Wallace, adopter un nouvel état d’esprit. Conseils de coach .
Quiz – Votre équipe est-elle cynique ?

Même les plus optimistes d’entre nous deviennent parfois cyniques en regardant les actualités : promesses non tenues par des dirigeants d’entreprise, rémunération gonflée des patrons alors qu’ils demandent à leurs employés d’en faire toujours plus pour moins d’argent, etc. Mais cet état d’esprit est-il irréversible ?
Gênes et l’Afrique du Nord Vers 1450: les voyages «per costeriam»
Authors: Heers Jacques
Published: April 2020

Toutes les nations maritimes de la rive Nord de la Méditerranée s'intéressent au commerce avec le Maghreb et y exercent diverses activités. Mais toutes n'agissent pas de la même façon et la ville de Gênes semble, dans ce secteur, avoir suivi une politique très particulière. Les trafics entre Gênes et le Maghreb bénéficiaient, au XVème siècle, d'une sorte de paix: peu d'actes de piraterie, peu de représailles, peu de captures d'esclaves; dans Gênes, les esclaves en provenance du Maghreb sont très rares et les marchands ou patrons de navires s'emploient volontiers aux rachats des captifs. L'originalité du système de navigation réside dans les voyages que les notaires appellent «per costeriam»; c’est à dire, de longs pépriples maritimes qui, pour de très gros navires, vont directement d'Angleterre en Orient (ou réciproquement) en lon­geant la côte d'Afrique, sans remonter vers le Nord et faire escale à Gênes: économie de temps et d'argent. Pour ces voyages le parran de navire dispose d'une très grande initiative et assume de grandes responsabilités: navigation, chargements et décharge­ments des balles de marchandises (en particulier des draps englais), mais aussi et surtout ventes de ces produits. Ceci implique un nombre important d'escales sur le littoral du Maghreb (parfois au large d'une simple plage) et, aussi, la fréquentation de nombreux marchés ou de négociants musulmans. Ces trafics «per costeriam» sont de véritables aventures et les capitaines des navires y ont acquis une grande expérience des mers, des côtes, des populations étrangères à leur monde chrétien.
Analyse et évolution des formes graphiques
Authors: Gilissen Léon
Published: April 2020

Dans une leçon publieé sous la forme orale dans laquelle elle fut dite, l'auteur tente de montrer tout ce que l'hypothèse du «ductus» a de fragmentaire dans l’analyse de toute écriture. L'examen du «ductus» doit se compléter par un examen approfondi de la morphologie des lettres et des signes graphiques, seul élément objectif observable aujourd'hui.

Paleografía aragonesa de la Alta Edad Media anterior al año 1137
Authors: Canellas López Angel
Published: April 2020

L'héritage paléographique d'Aragon, pendant le haut Moyen Age et jusqu’à son union avec le Comté de Barcelone en 1137, est très interessant pour le paléographe qui y trouve un champ d'observation sur la persistance particulière de la tradition culturelle wisigothe, qui s'est maintenue longtemps, jusqu’à l'apparition des graphies carolines. De là vient l'inrérêt des exemples conservés dans les manuscrits anciens et les documents. Le Règne d’Aragon primitif, ensemble de terres indépendantes, sont réunies par un roi qui les intègre successivement. C'est un terrain intéressant pour étudier la lente évolution des graphies wisigothes depuis le VIIIeme, jusqu'au XIIeme siècle, moment où apparaissent les mauvaises habitudes de l'écriture caroline. Dans cet article, on passe en revue d’inreressants exemples d'écritures, conservés dans des manuscrits anciens et des documents qui illustrent cette lente évolution graphique, ainsi que des enluminures qui mèlent l'art local mozarabe a l'implantation graduelle de motifs carolingiens européens.
Enseñanza de la música en las catedrales
Authors: Bartolomé Martínez Bernabé
Published: April 2020

Ce travail prétend faire apparaître le rôle, dans les cathédrales espagnoles, de l'activité éducatrice dans le domaine de la culture musicale, sur un secteur choisi de l'enfance. Dans une première partie, nous essayons de voir le role historique joué par la figure du maitre éducateur des petits chanteurs en tant que directeur de toute l'activité musicale dans les cathédrales. Nous étudions, à propos de ces enfants, l’origine de leur nom, les critères de sélection pour leur acceptation dans le choeur, leur origine sociale et la règlementation de la vie en internat et ceci, à travers les statuts de la cathédrale. Dans une deuxième partie, nous attirons l'attention sur l’historial de l'enseigne­ment musical, le temps dédié à l'apprentissage et les interventions musicales postérieures des enfants de choeur lors des fonctions liturgiques. Nous analysons les méthodes et les stratégies utilisées au cours de la préparation corporelle, psychologi­que et technique qui a une influence permanente sur le rendement adéquat en ce qui concerne le chant. La personne qui travaille et enseigne directement à l'enfant ces techniques est le maître de chapelle du chapitre de la cathédrale. Les débuts incertains de l'étape médiévale culminèrent, déjà au moment de la renaissance, dans la scolaristation de ces enfants dans des centres spécialisés qui étaient connus à l'époque comme écoles d'enfants.
En honor de la jubilación de Robert I. Burns, S.J.
Authors: Webster Jill R.
Published: April 2020

La mise à la retraite de Robert I. Burns de l'Université de Californie à Los Angeles a été l' occasion de reconnaître son extraordinaire contribution a l’étude de l'histoire médiévale. Ses nombreuses études sur Jaume Ier et sur le treizième siècle valencien, ses nombreux volumes Diplomatarium sur des documents des Archives de la Couronne d'Aragon, la création, en Californie, d'une bibliothèque sur la Méditer­ranée médiévale espagnole et la préparation des recherches de nombreux étudiants sont l'extraordinaire héritage qu'il nous a légué pendant sa carrière. Joints aux nombreux prix et honneurs qu'il a reçu, sa participation volontaire et importante à des symposiums académiques et le fait qu'il ait porté Valence au premier plan des études historiques, lui garantissent une place permanente parmi les savants distin­gués du Moyen Age espagnol.
Fiscalitat local i deute públic al País Valencià. L'administració de la vila de Borriana a mitjan segle XV
Authors: Viciano Pau
Published: April 2020

En se basant sur le cas de Borriana, nous pouvons connaître les difficultés fiscales que traversaient, durant le XVeme siècle, les principales villes royales du Pays Valencien. Bien que possédant des ressources fiscales importantes qui dépassaient beaucoup les revenus ordinaires que la couronne percevait dans la ville même, l'économie locale se voyait étouffée par un endettement accablant qui bénéficiait surtout les percepteurs d'impôts de la capitale du règne. Au milieu du XVCeme siècle, l'insolvabilité municipale motiva l'intervention de la couronne, qui finança un projet ambitieux d'assainissement économique. En échan­ge de cette aide, le municipe dût céder une part de son autonomie et soumettre sa gestion financière au contrôle d'une bureaucratie royale centralisée. Finale-ment, le redressement eut un succès relatif au niveau macroéconomique, mais l'effort fiscal contribua à appauvrir la population et aggrava le déclin démo­graphique de la ville.
Fiscalidad y circulación monetaria en el reino de Navarra. La dote de la infanta Juana, duquesa de Bretaña (1385-1387)
Authors: Carrasco Pérez Juan
Published: April 2020

Tout au long de presque quarante années de règne, Carlos II d'Evreux (1350-1387) sollicita et obtint de nombreuses et importantes aides économiques. Cette fiscalité extraordinaire prit l'apparence, dans bon nombre de cas, de revenus fixes et garantis pour les finances royales de Navarre. Un des cas les plus manifestes de cette fiscalité occasionnelle, mais pas pour cela moins coûteuse, est, peut-être, la demande de 120 mille francs or afin de payer la dot de l'infante Juana, future épouse du Duc de Bretagne, Jean IV, comte de Montfort et de Richemont. Une somme aussi élevée échoit sur une population déjà pratiquement saignée à blanc sur le plan fiscal. Aussi, le fait d'exiger que ce paiement s'effectue en monnaie or, rendit ce paiement encore plus accablant. Malgré tout, dans une première tentative on obtint la somme de 112.118 livres, 19 sols et 2 deniers, dont seulement 16,48 % est versée en monnaies d'or ou d'argent comme cela avait été convenu à l'origine. Les versements suivants offrirent un pourcentage chaque fois inférieur. Devant les difficultés qui se présentent pour faire honneur à la demande du duc, la famille royale de Navarre en vient à vendre des bijoux et de la vaiselle pour une valeur de 714 marcs d'argent, si on calcule selon le poids produit par les marcs de Pampelune. Cette quantité d'argent ajoutée aux livraisons en monnaie et à l'or monnayé sont une bonne base pour établir et mesurer l'écoulement monétaire entre ces deux petits états, même si on le considère comme occasionnel. Les différentes cotisations que l'on trouvera reproduites dans leurs différents cadres, pourront contribuer à une meilleure connaissance de l'histoire monétaire de l'Occident au Mayen Age.
Las oligarquías urbanas de Pamplona y Tudela en 1366. Dos comportamientos diversoJ ante el fisco real navarro
Authors: Zabalo Zabalegui Javier
Published: April 2020

Parmi la mince série de dénombrements fiscaux en Navarre au Moyen Age, le Libro de fuegos de 1366 (Livre des Us et Coutumes de 1366), par le seul fait qu'il enregistre aussi bien les noms des têtes de famille que la quotité qui était assignée à chacune d'elles, est l'unique texte qui nous permet d'étudier, avec quelques détails, la façon done contribuèrent, à cette époque, les habitants des deux principales villes du royaume: Pamplona et Tudela. La minutieuse révision du manuscrit original -que la transcription, publiée par J. Carrasco en 1973, nous a permis d'étudier à fond- en même temps que l'informa­tion complémentaire obtenue à partir d'autres sources, nous permet de déboucher sur de surprenantes conclusions: les 33 familles de la haute bourgeoisie de Pamplona payèrent une moyenne de 3 florins à peine, tandis que la moyenne des 68 noms les plus connus de Tudela intervinrent, eux, pour 8 florins. Nous ne savons pas les raisons de cette claironnante différence, les familles de Tudela dépassant largement la moyenne -prévue pour l’ensemble du royaume- de 2,5 florins par famille, pas plus que nous ne connaissons les raisons pour lesquelles, à Tudela, on ne respecta pas les quatre niveaux de cotisation (quotité) (1, 2, 3 et 4 florins) que les normes royales avaient établis cette année-la.
Finanzas y fiscalidad de la villa de Lequeitio (1325-1512)
Authors: García Fernández Ernesto
Published: April 2020

La ville de Lequeitio se trouve sur la partie basque de la côte cantabrique. Le Moyen Áge la vic naître, grandir et se déveloper. On étudie, dans cet article, la fiscalité pratiquée par les Rois ou Seigneurs de Biscaye sur les habitants de Lequeitio. On y analyse la préoccupation des habitants pour atteindre une fiscalité relativement proportionnelle à leur niveau de fortune et la préoccupation du Conseil de la ville pour investir une partie de ces recettes dans l'amélioration des infrastructures du territoire, Cependant, à tous moments, le contrôle de ces procédés par l'administration royale ou seigneuriale fut absolue.
