Les paradis bibliques dans la poésie latine de l'antiquité tardive et du haut moyen âge

These doctoral thesis consists of a paradise-focused analysis about the three meeting pagan, biblical and Christian cultures in the literary works of Latin Christian poets in the late antiquity and Early Middle Ages such as hymns, centos, epics or versified epitaphs. The Old and New Testament verses more or less dealing with the Earth or eschatological paradise make the main thraed of this study. After mentioning the variants originating from the different translations of the Holy text - wich most of the time enables one to understand the Christians poet's theories - I analyse from a mainly philological point of view the way that poets present and describe these biblical and Christian facts by calling upon their still profane culture. The patristic writings are also considered when allowing to better understand the poetic developments. I also put back the poet's ideas as much as possible in their historical, political and cultural context and in the mentality in those days so as to account for some of their choices in presenting various events such as the first couple union or who worst sinned. These doctoral thesis is divided into two major parts: the first one focuses on Eden and all that happens in there and the second one concerns the living un the beyond. The five chapters in the first part describe the garden of Eden (climate, fauna, flora and hydrography), the creation of human beings, their life un paradise, the temptation and fall, and eventually the chastisement as the different changes that are brought to the direct surroundings of Adam and Eve by sinning. The second part devoted to studying the life in the beyond is also based upon the diverse paradises encountered in the Bible. This matter is to be considered in two different and complementary aspects. The first chapter is dedicated to scanning the way that poets rearrange and depict St. Paul paradise, sinus Abrahae, the paradise promised by Jesus Christ to the thief and the heavenly Jerusalem. The second chapter is about analysing the various literary themes from profane origin that are reused and sort of reactualised by the Christian poets in order to show the life in the beyond that is so little described by the Holy text.
Dog Eat Dog: Who is in Charge of Controlling Art in The Post‐Socialist Condition?

The article explores what happens when artists attempt to control art in order to ‘solve’ conflicting definitions of art in the post‐Socialist condition with the use of two case studies. In the case of Little Warsaw, a Hungarian artist duo, representatives of the ex‐unofficial and underground artists were eager to take over the disappearing state control and claim authoritarian power to define the boundaries of art and police fellow artists. In the second case radical Russian artists, such as Oleg Kulik and Alexander Brener, Western artists and curators declared themselves the guardians of standards and norms in their desire to keep the status quo of Cold War art discourse alive and maintain their dominant position within it. The author refers back to the heritage of censorship employed by artists towards fellow artists and to the hidden history of gate‐keeping in modern art.
Novel ultraviolet photoluminescence of ZnO/ZnGa2O4 composite layers

O 4 composite layers were synthesized by simple thermal oxidation of ZnS substrates with gallium in the air. The continuous-wave and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements for the composites were performed at room temperature. It is found that the visible deep level emission from ZnO in ZnO/ZnGa 2 O 4 composite layer was almost suppressed. In addition, the UV emission with long lifetime was also observed in comparison with that of pure ZnO layer without ZnGa 2 O 4 .
Polymer-based sensors: A high potential to be further developed

ture sensors. However intensive research efforts have been produced in order to develop the large potential of polymers in the field of sensing and monitoring. The chemical diversity of plastics, their ‘tunability’ and their ability to be industrially processed using economically viable technologies with high productivity can actually be profitable to produce sensing devices or active elements of sensors exploiting a wide range of functional properties (e.g. electrical, dielectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric or optical properties; weight or dimensions variations, etc). The final products obtained that way may then compete with more traditional components based on metals or ceramics, which are often brittle, require very constraining processing conditions (high temperatures, clean rooms...) and are compatible with a limited number of substrates only. Moreover, they may show functionalities difficult to reach by other ways. Specialty polymers are used for this kind of applications. They are generally quite different from the commodity and engineering plastics usually used in the plastics industry and may require adapted processing techniques (such as microstructuring for instance). These organic materials seem to be very promising for a broad range of practical applications: detection of chemical components, solvents, aromas, moisture, contacts, leakage; measurement of force, deformation, temperature, pH, etc. Well known examples are fluorinated polymers (polyvinylidene fluoride, polytrifluorethylene) used for their piezoelectric and/or pyroelectric properties in force and/or heat sensors, intrinsic (polypyrrole, polyaniline) or extrinsic (addition of conducting particles such as carbon black, carbon nanotubes, metals or metal oxides) conducting polymers used in the electronic noses (detection of volatile organic components). Another example is the detection of moisture by means of polymers such as poly(ethylene glycol), poly(methyl methacrylate), polyimides, polypyridine or various derivatives of cellulose. Other developments for more specific applications are also going on, such as biosensors/biochemical sensors, using polymers on which enzymes are chemically linked or polymers whose degradation is catalysed by some enzymes, which can result in a capacity variation. Polymer-based sensors undoubtedly represent both a fertile ground of further scientific developments and an interesting high added-value outlet for the plastics industry.

The Use of Mobile Money Application and Smallholder Farmer Market Participation: Evidence form Cote d Ivoire and Tanzania

With the growing food security concerns market participation of smallholder farmers has regained the attention of policy makers and agricultural development community. The widespread adoption of information and communication technologies in Sub-Saharan Africa over the last decade have paved the way for the introduction of digital solutions such as mobile money that have a potential to enhance access to input and output markets. Using a conceptual framework based on the Transaction Cost Economics theory, we propose a hypothesis that the ability to make quick and low-cost money transfers through mobile money application can lower the transaction costs associated with hold-up risks of participating in distant markets. This hypothesis is tested using the data from the CGAP survey in Cote d Ivoire and Tanzania. The methods include Heckman Probit model to account for sample selection bias. The findings indicate that the stallholder farmers who use the mobile money for receiving payments from buyers are more likely to sell their product in city and regional markets versus farm gate options such as middleman and village markets.  market participation, mobile money, transaction costs, Sub-Saharan Africa Acknowledgement :
Oil price risk and the Australian stock market

The primary aim of this paper is to investigate the sensitivity of Australian industry equity returns to an oil price factor over the period 1983–1996. The paper employs an augmented market model to establish the sensitivity. The key findings are as follows. First, a degree of pervasiveness of an oil price factor, beyond the influence of the market, is detected across some Australian industries. Second, we propose and find significant positive oil price sensitivity in the Oil and Gas and Diversified Resources industries. Similarly, we propose and find significant negative oil price sensitivity in the Paper and Packaging, and Transport industries. Generally, we find that long-term effects persist, although we hypothesize that some firms have been able to pass on oil price changes to customers or hedge the risk. The results have implications for management in these industries and policy makers and enhance our understanding of the “Dutch disease.”
Presentation of the Child with Renal Disease and Guidelines for Referral to the Pediatric Nephrologist

Renal disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Pediatric patients with renal disease, especially younger ones may present with nonspecific signs and symptoms unrelated to the urinary tract. Pediatricians, therefore, should be familiar with the modes of presentation of renal disease and should have a high index of suspicion of these conditions. Affected patients may present with signs and symptoms of the disease, abnormal urinalysis, urinary tract infection, electrolyte and acid-base abnormalities, decreased renal function, renal involvement in systemic disease, glomerular and renal tubular diseases, congenital abnormalities, and hypertension. Pediatricians may initiate evaluation of renal disease to the extent that they feel comfortable with. The role of the pediatrician in the management of the child with renal disease and guidelines for patient referral to the pediatric nephrologist are presented.
Newton and the "Pipes of Pan"

Newtonian scholars have long been aware of a set of draft Scholia to Propositions IV to IX of Book III of the Principia (2). These were composed in the 1690’s, as part of an unimplemented plan for a second edition of the work. Since they describe supposed anticipations of Newton’s doctrines in the thought of Graeco-Roman antiquity, they have become known as the ‘classical’ Scholia (3). The analogies and parallels drawn in them are so strained, as judged by modern standards of scholarship, that it is tempting to consider them as merely literary embellishments of a scientific work. However, the sheer bulk of the manuscripts, the number of copies and variants, their relation to Newton’s other writings, and the testimony of Newton’s associates together with their publication of some of the materials, all make it certain that he considered the arguments and conclusions of the Scholia an important part of his philosophy.

Politics and the American clergy: Sincere shepherds or strategic saints?

Scholars have evaluated the causes of clergy political preferences and behavior for decades. As with party ID in the study of mass behavior, personal ideological preferences have been the relevant clergy literature's dominant behavioral predictor. Yet to the extent that clergy operate in bounded and specialized institutions, it is possible that much of the clergy political puzzle can be more effectively solved by recognizing these elites as institutionally-situated actors, with their preferences and behaviors influenced by the institutional groups with which they interact. I argue that institutional reference groups help to determine clergy political preferences and behavior. Drawing on three theories derived from neo-institutionalism, I assess reference group influence on clergy in two mainline Protestant denominations-the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the Episcopal Church, USA. In addition to their wider and more traditional socializing influence, reference groups in close proximity to clergy induce them to behave strategically-in ways that are contrary to their sincerely held political preferences. These proximate reference groups comprise mainly parishioners, suggesting that clergy political behavior, which is often believed to affect laity political engagement, may be predicated on clergy anticipation of potentially unfavorable reactions from their followers. The results show a set of political elites (the clergy) to be highly responsive to strategic pressure from below. This turns the traditional relationship between elites and masses on its head, and suggests that further examination of institutional reference group influence on clergy, and other political elites, is warranted.
Simple and efficient network-aware user association rules for heterogeneous networks

User association (UA), the process that maps a user to a base station, is known to be an important problem in heterogeneous cellular networks. We study an online UA framework where association decisions are made for users individually to optimize an α -fair network utility function. We derive simple rules in the form of closed-form formulas that maximize the network utility for different choices of the fairness parameter α and are, in that sense, “network-aware”. These rules exhibit a “natural” notion of load that we identify. They require little information from the network while providing significant performance gains compared to conventional rules. We compare our rules to an upper-bound on the system performance which is obtained by recomputing UAs for all users in the system upon every change in the system state. We evaluate the performance of our rules using an in-house simulator and quantify their performance gap from the upper-bound. We, then, propose a way to reduce this gap by allowing periodic individual re-associations. We further evaluate the performance of our rules using NS-3 where none of the processes other than UA are under our control. The results confirm the superior performance of our rules compared to the conventional ones.
Reading up books: An overview of robotics engineering: A comprehensive review of the technology behind robotic systems is followed by a discussion of selected texts and periodicals

Man, throughout history, has built mechanisms that imitated animals, men, or were made in the image of a powerful god. These mechanisms — operated by steam, hydraulics, air, and springs — can be considered robots by some definitions. Throughout the years, technological change has affected the concept of robots and created a whole new science of robotics. Robots are now taking the next step — a giant step — in becoming an intelligent aid to man.
Reactivity of the glutathione species towards the reduction of ormaplatin (or tetraplatin).

The reduction of ormaplatin (tetraplatin), a prototype for Pt(IV) anticancer prodrugs, by glutathione (GSH) was kinetically characterized over a wide pH range at 25.0°C and 1.0M ionic strength. The reduction follows overall second-order kinetics, giving rise to the oxidized glutathione as the oxidation product, which was identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The reaction mechanism put forward involves parallel attacks by all the GSH species on the Pt(IV) prodrug as rate-determining steps. All rate constants for the rate-determining steps have been derived for the first time, enabling the construction of the reactivity of GSH species versus their pH distribution diagram. The diagram clearly displays that only one out of the five GSH species is the mainly responsible for the reduction of ormaplatin at the physiological pH of 7.4.
花岗岩成因及构造环境认识 Study on Granites’ Origination and Tectonic Environment

在地球中，花岗岩几乎全部产于大陆，是大陆分布最广的岩石之一，是有别于大洋地壳的最主要的物质组成标志。通过研究长期以来地质学者们对花岗岩的研究，取得了一些对花岗岩的认识。其中包括对花岗岩成因的分类。每种类型都对应了不同的地质历史演化。并认识到花岗岩的地壳深熔论是研究其成因的基础所在。在研究花岗岩岩石成因的过程中主要考虑大地构造环境以及源岩对其的影响。最后，深入探讨了花岗岩形成的大地构造背景。 In the earth, almost all granite comes from the mainland, which is one of the most widely rock distributions and different from the main composition of oceanic crust. In this paper, by studying the geological scholars for a long time on the study of granite, we got some knowledge of granite. Including the classification of the causes of granite, each type corresponds to the different geologic evolution history. And awareness of the crustal anatexis is the basis of the research the causes in the study of granite rock formation in the process of the main consideration tectonic environment and source rock to its influence. Finally, we further discuss the granite formed by tectonic background.
THE TERROR OF NORMALITY IN JERZY KOSINSKI'S "THE PAINTED BIRD"

The Painted Bird, originally published in 1965, was greeted as a Holocaust classic, another personal, autobiographical testimony to be included in bibliographies of Holocaust writing. However, other readers and critics soon pointed out the novel's allegorical and mythological character, seeing in Kosinski's work an attempt to break away from the dominating realistic convention or even an example of postmodernist aesthetics which, far from offering a documentary account of history, problematizes the issue of representation.  As if in support of this parabolic interpretation of the novel, the cover of the Bantam Books edition of The Painted Bird'bore a fragment of Hieronymus Bosch's painting Das Jiingste Gericht. The commentaries quoted in the book also encouraged this kind of reading: Anai's Nin emphasized the novel's success in lifting "the entire experience to the philosophic, mythological realms of knowledge," and Luis Bunuel observed that the novel moves beyond realism, being "a trip into the world of nightmare and anxiety." Polish responses to the novel, at first almost unanimously hostile, attacked it for the supposedly biased, distorted picture of life in Nazi-occupied Poland, the charge clearly based on an assumption of the documentary, autobiographical character of The Painted Bird. Critical works such as Joanna Siedlecka's book Czarnyptasio? accused Kosinski of falsifying his own biography and revealed the details of the writer's life during the war, supposedly at odds with the events described in the novel.
Payments system reform: the Australian experience

Most central banks have some type of broad responsibility for oversight of the payments system. Often this responsibility is coupled with regulatory powers relating to high-value payments. In Australia, however, the responsibility runs much broader than this, encompassing the efficiency and competitiveness of the payments system as a whole, including retail payments. This responsibility was given to the RBA following a wide-ranging inquiry into the structure of financial regulation in the mid-1990s—the so-called Wallis Inquiry. This inquiry recommended that bank supervision be moved from the RBA to a stand-alone prudential regulator—today known as the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA)—but also recommended that the RBA be given responsibility for the overall efficiency of the payments system. This recommendation reflected, in part, recognition of the fact that the RBA was already highly enmeshed in the payments system and had considerable expertise in what are often highly technical matters. It nevertheless came as a surprise to us. We had not been arguing for an extension of our powers, and we had not been seeking responsibility for payments system efficiency. In accepting the committee’s recommendations, the government took the rather unusual step of establishing a second board within the RBA— the Payments System Board. This board is chaired by the governor and has Payments System Reform: The Australian Experience
Smart Personalized Routing for Smart Cities

In smart cities, commuters have the opportunities for smart routing that may enable selecting a route with less car accidents, or one that is more scenic, or perhaps a straight and flat route. Such smart personalization requires a data management framework that goes beyond a static road network graph. This paper introduces PreGo, a novel system developed to provide real time personalized routing. The recommended routes by PreGo are smart and personalized in the sense of being (1) adjustable to individual users preferences, (2) subjective to the trip start time, and (3) sensitive to changes of the road conditions. Extensive experimental evaluation using real and synthetic data demonstrates the efficiency of the PreGo system.
Comment on Gunning

Although there are elements of this paper with which I shall take issue, I want to begin by enthusiastically welcoming its publication. Rothbard and Mises are giants in the field of laissez faire studies; any focus on their vastly underappreciated work is thus presumptively an important contribution to the literature. Second, it is very important to reconcile advocacy of the system of economic freedom, or laissez faire capitalism, with value freedom, or vertfreiheit, a necessary dimension of economics as a discipline. Is it possible to both favor the market system, and be a value free economist? Is the vitally important question to which Jones addresses himself, and he is to be congratulated for bringing it to our attention. Third, this paper is welcome on the ground that Mises and Rothbard agreed with each other on virtually all areas of political economy – except for this one. Prof. Jones has unearthed a man-bites-dog story wherein these two Castor and Pollux economists strongly diverge in their perspectives. His bringing of this situation to our attention is therefore alone worth the price of admission.
Entre el atelier y el escaparate. Las intervenciones de Raquel Forner en Harrods

In the 40s and well into the next decade, in parallel with their plastic long-term projects which were reflected in the series of monumental, allusive and allegorical oil paintings of the world wars, Raquel Forner regularly collaborated on a project that in principle seems quite distant from that: the setting of the shop windows of the famous English store Harrods in Florida street. However, as we will try to demonstrate, those allegedly frivolous interventions in the fashion world set communicants ties with both aesthetic pursuits that the artist carried out simultaneously in his pictorial series, as the social-historical conjuncture of the mid-twentieth century, stressed for aesthetic and political debates.
Structure and composition of terrestrial crust in relation to problems of geological petrology

The geophysical evidence, including the physical mechanical data on rocks and minerals, proves insufficient for justification of currently popular ideas on the discrete character of “the crust” vs “the upper mantle,” the two types (“oceanic” and “continental”) of the crust, and the meaning of the Mohorovicic “boundary,” not to mention an abundance of other misconceptions. The terrestrial crust, mosaic in composition, is petrologically the same under oceans as under continents, notwithstanding geophysical differences between its “oceanic” and “continental” profiles. These differences are explainable by effects of pressure and temperature on geophysical images of the profiles, as well as by space-time positions of the crustal segments they represent.
