    Language and Culture on the Margins (2024)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This collection of thirteen essays examines sociolinguistic phenomena in a wide variety of marginal environments, providing both an overview of globalizaiton on the margins and a foundation for an expanded understanding of the processes of linguistic and cultural changes at work in these settings. Taking an expansive conceptual view of margins, the volume is organized in three parts, looking at examples of marginal spaces in the nation-state, in online environments, and in the peripheries of urban locations, globally to call attention to new and changing discursive genres, patterns, practices, and identities emerging in these spaces as a result of contemporary mobilities, the evolving global economy, and socio-political changes. With previous research previously confined to the study of globalization in urban areas, this volume opens the door for further research on the complex sociolinguistic processes resulting from globalization on the margins, making this an ideal resource for students and scholars in sociolinguistics, globalization and heritage studies, new media, anthropology, and cultural studies.

    Faithful Transgressions In The American West (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The central issue Bush finds in these works is how their authors have dealt with the authority of Mormon Church leaders. As she puts it in her preface, "I use the phrase 'faithful transgression' to describe moments in the texts when each writer, explicitly or implicitly, commits herself in writing to trust her own ideas and authority over official religious authority while also conceiving of and depicting herself to be a 'faithful' member of the Church." Bush recognizes her book as her own act of faithful transgression. Writing it involved wrestling, she states, "with my own deeply ingrained religious beliefs and my equally compelling education in feminist theories that mean to liberate and empower women." Faithful Transgressions examines a remarkable group of authors and their highly readable and entertaining books. In producing the first significant book-length study of Mormon women's autobiographical writing, Bush rides a wave of memoir publishing and academic interest in autobiography and other life narratives. As she elucidates these works in relation to the religious tradition that played a major role in shaping them, she not only positions them in relation to feminist theory and current work on women's life writings but ties them to the long literary tradition of spiritual autobiography.

    Chapter 1 Classical heritage and European identities (2021)
    Taylor & Francis | Classical Heritage and European Identities | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This book examines how different agents and institutions within the Danish nation state have situated themselves within this complex landscape of competing appropriations of classical antiquity from the eighteenth century to the present day. In particular, it focuses on the use of classical heritages to construct both European and national identities (in the plural) and especially on how Danes in this period have engaged with a sense of European commonality through their engagements with the classical past.

    La sociologie malgré tout (2021)
    Presses universitaires de Paris Nanterre
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Si c’est « malgré tout » qu’il faut défendre la sociologie, c’est malgré ce qu’elle est devenue. Bien loin de ses grandes espérances initiales et des splendeurs que nous ont léguées les Durkheim, Weber, Simmel, Mead, Elias, Mauss, etc. Ce que l’on appelle sociologie s’est peu à peu recroquevillé jusqu’à apparaître comme la « science (ou la pseudo science) des restes », la science de ce dont ne parlent ni les philosophes, ni les économistes, ni les historiens, ni les anthropologues, ni les théoriciens de la littérature, etc. Éclatée en de multiples chapelles théoriques ou idéologiques, privée de colonne vertébrale paradigmatique et institutionnelle, elle ne croit plus pouvoir trouver son unité que dans une référence de plus en plus incantatoire au « terrain » et à l’empirisme, et dans ses querelles infinies sur ce qui fait la bonne méthode ou le bon terrain. La sociologie classique, celle qu’il nous faut faire revivre et actualiser, se présentait tout autrement. Elle revendiquait hautement une approche empirique de la réalité et le souci d’établir des faits, elle aussi, mais elle n’imaginait pas que ce puisse être accompli hors-théorie et sans enjeux normatifs, c’est-à- dire éthiques et politiques... Dit autrement, elle se vivait comme le lieu et le moment généraliste de la science sociale générale. C’est cette sociologie là, autrement dit la science sociale générale, qui nous fait désormais défaut et qu’on appelle ici à renaître de ses cendres.

    Chapter 1 Dimensions of European heritage and memory (2021)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This book is a reflection on the politics of heritage in Europe at the present time, in a moment of pluralised conceptions of the political, social and demographic organisation proper to Europe. It is not a book that seeks to survey, define or characterise an enduring ‘European heritage’ as an entity, but rather to explore what heritage does – how it is understood, instrumentalised and what it enables – within what we will argue is a ‘critical’ moment for both identities and geopolitics in Europe.

    Les logiques spatiales de l’innovation sportive : Conditions d’émergence et configurations multiples (2021)
    Maison des Sciences de l’Homme d’Aquitaine
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Dans le sport, l'innovation s'impose de façon non équivoque, au moins en comparaison avec d'autres domaines de la vie sociale. La maîtrise de l'innovation - qu'elle soit ou non technique - et l'obligation de maintenir la recherche de solutions nouvelles sont bien des facteurs d'accès indispensables à la réussite sportive. Des chercheurs en sociologie, histoire économique, management et gestion des entreprises, sciences du sport et communication, ont confronté leurs travaux sur l'évolution de sports aussi divers que l'aviron à ses débuts, le rugby amateur ou professionnel, le football, la voile de compétition, le surf et les sports de glisse en Aquitaine, avec un grand crochet par la Martinique pour les compétitions de yoles martiniquaises… Ils examinent les conditions d'émergence et les multiples configurations que peut prendre l'innovation. Ils dégagent la morphologie des processus d'innovation également étudiés sous l'angle des politiques publiques territoriales et au sein d'associations sportives ou de clubs omnisports marqués depuis peu par des phénomènes de professionnalisation.

    Chapter The Chapel of Sant’Agata in Pisa. 3D surveying, Artificial Intelligence and archival heritage (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences.

    Allocations sociales et pauvreté au Brésil : Le bon combat (2021)
    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Depuis quelques années, le Brésil occupe une place de plus en plus importante sur la scène internationale en conséquence de grands changements socio-économiques – et plus particulièrement d’une réduction significative de la pauvreté et de l’inégalité des revenus. Cet ouvrage vise à présenter au public francophone, y compris au lecteur profane en matière de politique sociale brésilienne, la mise en place et l’évolution des différents programmes d’allocations sociales, dont le plus connu est la Bourse-Famille. L’analyse porte sur les caractéristiques de base de ces programmes, leurs formats, les changements conceptuels intervenus au cours du temps, le ciblage des bénéficiaires, les effets des allocations sur la composition du revenu des ménages ainsi que sur le déclin de la pauvreté et de l’inégalité. Enfin, l’accent est mis sur les défis à relever pour perfectionner cette politique des allocations afin de mieux protéger les enfants pauvres, la population la plus vulnérable actuellement.

    Placing Empire (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Placing Empire examines the spatial politics of Japanese imperialism through a study of Japanese travel and tourism to Korea, Manchuria, and Taiwan between the late nineteenth century and the early 1950s. In a departure from standard histories of Japan, this book shows how debates over the place of colonized lands reshaped the social and spatial imaginary of the modern Japanese nation. In turn, this sociospatial imaginary affected the ways in which colonial difference was conceptualized and enacted. The book thus illuminates how ideas of place became central to the production of new forms of colonial hierarchy as empires around the globe transitioned from an era of territorial acquisition to one of territorial maintenance.

    Pierre Boulez, Techniques d'écriture et enjeux esthétiques (2022)
    Éditions Contrechamps
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Dans cet ouvrage collectif placé sous la direction de Jean-Louis Leleu et Pascal Decroupet, la musique de Pierre Boulez est approchée de façon à la fois analytique et esthétique : l'approche rigoureuse du langage musical conduit à des réflexions sur ses enjeux. Les différents auteurs nous font entrer dans l'atelier du compositeur, éclairant ses procédés d'élaboration, les mutations d'une œuvre à l'autre, l'évolution de sa pensée, les projets inaboutis et certains éléments qui l'ont influencé. Sont étudiées en détail des pièces comme le Livre pour quatuor, Le Marteau sans maître, la Troisième Sonate pour piano, Figures, Doubles, Prismes, Éclat/Multiples ou Rituel, mais aussi des pièces retirées. Il s'agit de contributions originales qui apportent une somme d'informations nouvelles et décisives pour la compréhension d'une pensée musicale ayant marqué en profondeur les cinquante dernières années. Pour qu'ils soient plus lisibles et plus faciles à consulter, les exemples musicaux et les fac-similés des manuscrits de Boulez ont été gravés sur le CD-ROM joint.

    L'École et l'espace local : Les enjeux des Zones d'Éducation Prioritaires (2021)
    Presses universitaires de Lyon
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Mises en place en 1981, les zones d'éducation prioritaires (ZEP) font désormais partie du paysage éducatif français. Pourtant, on connaît encore mal les évolutions et les effets d'une politique fondée sur la prise en charge collective et décentralisée des problèmes éducatifs. L'analyse sociologique telle qu'elle est menée ici conduit à mettre 1 accent sur les conditions locales qui favorisent ou qui freinent 1 investissement scolaire des parents, des enseignants et de nouveaux acteurs du champ éducatif : élus, animateurs, bénévoles... A travers une approche ethnographique comparative - une zone rurale et une zone urbaine sont étudiées parallèlement - qui se nourrit des apports des travaux anglo-saxons, l'auteur présente une réflexion nouvelle sur le rôle des dynamiques locales dans la reproduction et dans la transformation du système éducatif.

    La ville moyenne dans sa région : Pau, les Pays de l’Adour et l’Aquitaine (2021)
    Maison des Sciences de l’Homme d’Aquitaine | Maison des Sciences de l'homme d'Aquitaine
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: La recherche et l'aménagement du territoire des années 1960 nous ont légué l'image persistante de réseaux urbains régionaux et nationaux, construits sur la base de rapports hiérarchiques entre des villes de stature et de rayonnement inégaux. Comment ces positions, assignées par la puissance objective des agglomérations, mais aussi par la représentation et par la volonté aménagistes ont-elles évolué depuis près de trente ans ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous avons choisi de partir du cas spécifique de Pau, promue sous-capitale régionale par le schéma d'armature urbaine de l'Aquitaine (1965), mais soucieuse aussi, dès cette époque, d'affirmer son leadership sur l'aire quelque peu mythique des Pays de l'Adour, concurremment à Tarbes et surtout à Bayonne. Pour tenter d'éclairer, aujourd'hui, l'actualité des hiérarchies, des concurrences et des complémentarités entre cités, s'exprimant dans le cadre de l'Aquitaine (et au-delà lorsque les frontières administratives ne correspondent plus à l'articulation des réseaux), nous avons privilégié une approche des rapports urbains qui passe par l'étude de l'économie, de la géographie, mais aussi de la sociologie des services marchands aux entreprises. La poussée de ces activités de pointe illustre en effet l'expansion rapide d'un secteur tertiaire supérieur très expressif de l'Influence réelle qu'exercent les villes sur l'espace géographique ; très démonstratif de leur capacité, en somme, à forger des régions.

    Le regard tourné vers le Ciel (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Provence
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: L’ex-voto est un don fait par un fidèle à un personnage céleste en remerciement d’une protection. En Provence, pendant plus de trois siècles, ces ex-voto ont souvent pris la forme d’un petit tableau déposé dans un sanctuaire, montrant le protecteur et les circonstances de la protection. Ces tableaux votifs présentent des images de la vie d’autrefois, dans des circonstances particulières, celles du danger, qui ont motivé la demande d’intervention céleste. À côté de ces scènes du vécu quotidien, ils offrent aussi une représentation du sacré, et de son lien avec les hommes. Le présent ouvrage se fonde sur une analyse exhaustive des quatre mille ex-voto provençaux, mais en présente une version destinée à un large public. En effet il est construit à partir de la reproduction photographique de plus de deux cents ex-voto, dont la majorité inédits. Ce sont ces photos qui servent de support à l’analyse et au commentaire, faisant pénétrer le lecteur dans l’univers matériel quotidien (maladies, naissances, accidents du travail, accidents de la circulation terrestre et maritime, guerre et violence, dangers de la foudre ou des eaux…) et dans les représentations des recours célestes de nos ancêtres (les saints intercesseurs, Marie…), face au danger.

    Sociologie et société québécoise : Présences de Guy Rocher (2021)
    Presses de l’Université de Montréal
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Suivre l’itinéraire universitaire et politique de Guy Rocher, c’est littéralement refaire l’histoire du Québec de la dernière moitié du siècle dernier. Qu’on ne s’étonne donc pas que cet ouvrage aborde tout autant l’œuvre du sociologue que, plus largement, les boule­ver­sements d’une société confrontée aux défis incessants de sa modernisation. Si les témoignages nous font pénétrer dans l’intimité de l’homme et du citoyen, les analyses signées par des professeurs de renom nous dévoilent, sous un jour neuf, le paysage social, politique et scientifique du Québec. Écrits à partir de perspectives disciplinaires les plus diverses (science politique, droit, sociologie, histoire, etc.), les textes qui composent cet ouvrage nous permettent de mieux comprendre, non seulement l’évolution globale de la société québécoise, mais les enjeux bien contemporains que l’histoire a légués en héritage à la génération présente. Guy Rocher est né à Berthierville en 1924. Ses études classiques terminées, il joint les rangs de la Jeunesse étudiante catholique. Il fait par la suite ses études en sciences sociales à l’Université Laval avec le père Georges-Henri Lévesque et son doctorat en sociologie à l’Université Harvard sous la direction de Talcott Parsons. À son retour, il enseigne la sociologie d’abord à l’Université Laval puis, en 1960, il accepte le poste de directeur du Département de sociologie à l’Université de Montréal, dont il est toujours membre du corps professoral. Depuis 1983, il est aussi chercheur au Centre de recherche en droit public de cette même université. Il a été membre de la commission Parent (1961-1966), sous-ministre au Développement culturel (1977-1979) et au ministère du Développement social (1981-1983) du Gouvernement du Québec. Il est récipiendaire de plusieurs prix académiques, dont le prix Marcel-Vincent, le prix Léon-Gérin, le prix Molson, et le prix William Davidson de la Société royale du Canada, dont il est membre depuis 1974. Son ouvrage Introduction à la sociologie générale (1968) a été traduit en plusieurs langues et est encore aujourd’hui un livre de référence majeur pour l’enseignement de la sociologie.

    Moustiquaires imprégnées et résistance des moustiques aux insecticides (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Le contrôle du paludisme requiert plusieurs moyens de lutte associés au sein de stratégies adaptées au contexte environnemental et épidémiologique. Les moustiquaires imprégnées de pyréthrinoïdes constituent l’un des outils préventifs dans cette lutte : leur utilisation est simple et permet une protection individuelle et collective durable et accessible à tous. Cependant, depuis plus de dix ans, Anopheles gambiae, le principal vecteur du paludisme en Afrique, est devenu résistant à de nombreux insecticides. Cette résistance pose des questions d’ordre fondamental et opérationnel : le comportement des moustiques s’en trouve-t-il modifié ? Cette résistance s'accompagne-t-elle d'une réduction significative de l'efficacité des moustiquaires imprégnées ? À travers la synthèse de travaux de recherche réalisés tant en laboratoire que sur le terrain, cet ouvrage révèle pourquoi les moustiquaires imprégnées d'insecticides resteront, pendant longtemps encore, une arme indispensable dans la lutte contre le paludisme.

    Civility in Uncivil Times (2022)
    Peter Lang International Academic Publishing Group
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Kazimierz Moczarski (1907–1975) was a journalist, soldier, and political prisoner. His life exemplifies a Central European biography under Nazism and Comunism. The addictive and moving Civility in Uncivil Times reveals the story of a man who defended law and democracy all his life. Moczarski fought for it in the authoritarian Poland of the 1930s. During the Second World War, he partook in the resistance movement. After the war, he spent eleven years in a Stalinist prison, including nine months in one cell with the Nazi Jürgen Stroop, who commanded the brutal pacification of the Warsaw Ghetto. The communists imprisoned Moczarski’s wife. After release, he rebuilt the broken marriage, rejoined social life, and wrote a work about meeting Stroop. Translated into many languages, Conversations with the Executioner is a thorough study of totalitarianism.

    Wave and Tidal Energy (2021)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: Concerns relating to energy supply and climate change have driven renewable energy targets around the world. Marine renewable energy could make a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the consequences of climate change, while providing a high-technology industry. The conversion of wave and tidal energy into electricity has many advantages. Individual tidal and wave energy devices have been installed and proven, with commercial arrays planned throughout the world. The wave and tidal energy industry has developed rapidly in the past few years; therefore, it seems timely to review current research and map future challenges. Methods to improve understanding of the resource and interactions (between energy extraction, the resource and the environment) are considered, such as resource characterisation (including electricity output), design considerations (e.g., extreme and fatigue loadings) and environmental impacts, at all timescales (ranging from turbulence to decadal) and all spatial scales (from device and array scales to shelf sea scales).

    Physicochemical, Sensory and Nutritional Properties of Foods Affected by Processing and Storage (2022)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: Processing and storage can cause changes and interactions in food components that have effects on nutritional value, organoleptic characteristics or even food safety. This book includes 19 research works showing important and interesting advances, as well as new approaches, in this research topic. Four articles are dedicated to studying the effect of canning conditions (filling media and some ingredients) on the diverse parameters of quality for fish and pet foods. Three articles are devoted to studying the effects of dehydration (pre-treatments and drying procedures). One article is dedicated to monitoring the elaboration of a fermented and dehydrated product (sausage) using a portable NIRS device. The ninth article of this book studies the effect of low-dose electron beam irradiation on cooking quality, moisture migration, and thermodynamics, as well as the digestion properties of the isolated starches in newly harvested and dried rice. The next contribution studies the use of different preservatives to avoid the formation of undesirable volatile organic compounds in stracciatella cheese. Another article examines the impact of source material, kibble size, temperature, and duration on the efficiency of the aqueous extraction of sugars and phenolics from carob kibbles by conventional heat-assisted (HAE) and ultrasound-assisted (UAE) methods. In two articles, marinating with different extracts, alone or combined with other seasoning/conditioning methods, was essayed to tenderize beef or to improve the sensory quality of chicken leg and breast meat. The effect of various cooking methods on the quality, structure, pasting, water distribution and protein oxidation of fish and meat-based snacks is studied in the fourteenth article. The last five articles are dedicated to the study of the effects of storage on several foods (olive oil, blueberry, beetroot and Atlantic mackerel).

    Sous les images, la politique… : Presse, cinéma, télévision, nouveaux médias (xxe-xxie siècle) (2021)
    CNRS Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: L'image est un média, peut-être le premier, le plus ancien. Depuis Lascaux, les individus, les groupes, les pouvoirs politiques et religieux en ont fait un allié ou un péril. Tout au long du xxe siècle, les images se sont immiscées partout. Acheminées par le cinéma, la télévision ou la presse écrite, véhiculées par Internet, elles s'installent au cœur du public comme du privé. Avec l'émergence des médias de masse, l'image et la politique ont renforcé leurs liens, forgeant une relation où les deux champs s'interpellent et se nourrissent intensément. L'étude du champ politique doit donc se saisir de ce corpus toujours plus foisonnant. Elle doit s'y atteler sans se fixer de limites a priori sur une définition des images politiques et sans se contenter d'étudier leur contenu (politique). Réunissant une trentaine de contributions dans une perspective internationale et interdisciplinaire, cet ouvrage croise les supports, les espaces socioculturels et les temporalités afin de mettre au jour les invariants et les ruptures, qu'il s'agisse du choix des thèmes ou des modes de mise en scène de la politique à chaque époque ou selon chaque régime. Couvrant les xxe et xxie siècles, l'ouvrage permet de relier différentes « époques médiatiques » et de voir les continuités, les filiations, les apports, les recompositions et les complémentarités entre des médias dits traditionnels (cinéma, télévision, photographie, presse écrite) et les nouveaux médias à l'âge du numérique (Internet, téléphones portables, jeux vidéo) dans leur façon de s'emparer ou d'être saisis par la politique.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This book is a collection of essays by prominent historians from Austria, Germany, Ukraine, Poland and Russia, who undertook a thorough and detailed study of one as yet inadequately researched aspect of the First World War--the occupation of Ukraine by the Central Powers in 1918. The book provides a new and fresh perspective on the historical context of Ukraine’s struggle for independence following the First World War.
    Description: Die Ukraine war zu Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges zwischen den Zwängen des zerfallenden Russischen Reiches, den Mittelmächten, die große Gebiete besetzten, und einer starken, aber zersplitterten Unabhängigkeitsbewegung, eingezwängt. Erstmals versucht mit dieser Studie ein internationales Historikerteam mit Materialien aus Archiven in Moskau, St. Petersburg, Kiew, Warschau, Wien, London, Paris, Bern, Prag, Washington und aus den deutschen Archiven ein faszinierendes Bild des Unabhängigkeitszwanges der Ukraine zu zeichnen. Dabei wurde auch ein bisher kaum bearbeitetes Thema aufgebrochen: Die vielfach rücksichtslose Besatzung des Landes durch deutsche und österreichischungarische Truppen 1918 und ihre Auswirkungen und Folgen.

    Displaced Memories (2021)
    Peter Lang International Academic Publishing Group
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: The book is a comparative case study of collective memory in two small communities situated on two Central-European borderlands. Despite different pre-war histories, Ukrainian Zhovkva (before 1939 Polish Żółkiew) and Polish Krzyż (before 1945 German Kreuz) were to share a common fate of many European localities, destroyed and rebuilt in a completely new shape. As a result of war, and post-war ethnic cleansing and displacement, they lost almost all of their pre-war inhabitants and were repopulated by new people. Based on more than 150 oral history interviews, the book describes the process of reconstruction of social microcosm, involving the reader in a journey through the lives of real people entangled in the dramatic historical events of the 20th century.

    1989 and the West (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Back in 1989, many anticipated that the end of the Cold War would usher in the ‘end of history’ characterized by the victory of democracy and capitalism. At the thirtieth anniversary of this momentous event, this book challenges this assumption. It studies the most recent era of contemporary European history in order to analyse the impact, consequences and legacy of the end of the Cold War for Western Europe. Bringing together leading scholars on the topic, the volume answers the question of how the end of the Cold War has affected Western Europe and reveals how it accelerated and reinforced processes that shaped the fragile (geo-)political and economic order of the continent today. In four thematic sections, the book analyses the changing position of Germany in Europe; studies the transformation of neoliberal capitalism; answers the question how Western Europe faced the geopolitical challenges after the Berlin Wall came down; and investigates the crisis of representative democracy. As such, the book provides a comprehensive and novel historical perspective on Europe since the late 1980s.

    Advances in Antimicrobial Coatings (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: This book is motivated by our passion to compile recent research on antimicrobial surfaces. We aimed to assemble research papers on the preparation of new materials, antimicrobial testing using different pathogens (bacteria, fungi, and viruses), and the relationship between the coating nanostructure and its reactivity towards the studied pathogen(s). We believe that a good antimicrobial coating should by characterized by (i) a fast activity towards the pathogen, (ii) sustainable activity based on the stability of the coating, and (iii) the lowest possible toxicity for humans and reduced risks for the environment. Striking a compromise between these different challenges is difficult and requires more research.

    Dogmatism (2024)
    Bloomsbury Academic | Bloomsbury Academic
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Why does the history of dogmatism deserve our attention? This open access book analyses uses of the term, following dogmatism from Victorian Britain to Cold War America, examining why it came to be regarded as a vice, and how understandings of its meaning have evolved. Whilst the field of scientific thought is committed to continuous innovation, ideas about dogmatism – with their roots in ancient philosophy – are pervasive in scientific thought today. Carrying connotations of both vice and ecclesiastical authority, the term’s prevalence during the ‘age of science’, and the rise of new thought categories such as totalitarianism and creationism, prompted scholars to repeat the old wisdom that science is incompatible with dogmatism. Tracing the concept across decades and different disciplines, Paul and Stoeger demonstrate how it has survived not only the passage of time, but changes in language and scientific methodologies. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Dutch Research Council (NWO).

    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: La 26e Université Sportive d'Été organisée conjointement par l'Union Nationale des Clubs Universitaires et l'Union des Journalistes de Sport en France s'est déroulée du 4 au 6 septembre 2008 sur le thème suivant : Sport et Santé, sortir des contradictions, apporter des solutions. Organisée à Strasbourg, avec le soutien efficace du Strasbourg Université Club, elle a largement profité du rayonnement international de la Cité, en étant accueillie au Centre Européen de la Jeunesse et en ouvrant ses séquences d'analyse, de présentation d'expériences novatrices et de débats à des compétences européennes de premier plan. « Le sport, c'est la santé » : ce type d'adage à la vie opère comme un écran de fumée par rapport à la réflexion et à la valorisation d'une action cohérente, d'autant que les termes de sport et de santé recouvrent chacun des notions différentes et pas toujours complémentaires. Comment renouer avec l'éducation sportive - chez l'athlète assidu comme chez des pratiquants ayant une simple activité d'entretien physique - sinon en remettant à l'ordre du jour l'examen des interactions dynamiques entre sport et santé ? « Sport et santé » composent une question majeure posée à et par une société plus que jamais marquée par la sédentarité, le vieillissement de la population et des inégalités socio-économiques persistantes. A l'occasion de cette USE, chercheurs universitaires, enseignants d'EPS, éducateurs et dirigeants sportifs, élus politiques et acteurs administratifs, journalistes, porteurs de projets ont pu se montrer à la hauteur des enjeux en ébauchant des orientations pertinentes.

    Chapter Rereading Italian Travellers to Africa: Precursors, Identities and Interracial Relations in Narratives of Italian Colonialism (2022)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This essay considers a number of travellers’ writings about Africa which are reread to construct and deconstruct Italian colonial identity. It focuses on Cesare Cesari’s Viaggi africani di Pellegrino Matteucci (1932), which deems Matteucci a precursor of Fascist colonialism and contributor to Fascist “colonial science”. The essay then moves on to explore the more recent rereading by Angelo Del Boca and Igiaba Scego of respectively Indro Montanelli’s XX Battaglione Eritreo (1936) and Errico Emanuelli’s Settimana nera (1961). By bringing together and rereading these texts, the essay maps the transformations of Italianness from colonial to postcolonial times and reveals how colonial identity relied on a series of gender, racial and sexual tropes of exploration and conquest.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: Anthropogenic and natural disturbances to freshwater quantity and quality are a greater issue for society than ever before. To successfully restore water resources requires understanding the interactions between hydrology, climate, land use, water quality, ecology, and social and economic pressures. This Special Issue of Water includes cutting edge research broadly addressing investigative areas related to experimental study designs and modeling, freshwater pollutants of concern, and human dimensions of water use and management. Results demonstrate the immense, globally transferable value of the experimental watershed approach, the relevance and critical importance of current integrated studies of pollutants of concern, and the imperative to include human sociological and economic processes in water resources investigations. In spite of the latest progress, as demonstrated in this Special Issue, managers remain insufficiently informed to make the best water resource decisions amidst combined influences of land use change, rapid ongoing human population growth, and changing environmental conditions. There is, thus, a persistent need for further advancements in integrated and interdisciplinary research to improve the scientific understanding, management, and future sustainability of water resources.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: In this Special Issue, we have published papers on the health-promoting effects of nutraceuticals from different sources, and their effects in different pathologies. Extracts from plants have been analyzed, for example, extracts from olive leaves, Mikania micrantha, the devil’s claw, raspberries and others, alongside marine phytoplankton, egg-yolk and marketed dietary supplements. The effects of these extracts and dietary supplements have been studied in diseases associated with obesity, and in diseases where inflammation pathways are involved. The effectiveness of resveratrol and curcumin to support the anticancer activity of cisplatin has also been reported, as well as the ability of devil’s claw root extract to stimulate the CB2 receptors in synoviocytes in osteoarthritis patients. The anti-oxidant effect of marine phytoplankton has been studied on muscle damage, both in humans and in an animal model, and the effects of the metabolite of antocianin were analyzed in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Finally, reviews on the use of lactoferrin, ω3 and ω6 and abscisic acid have been reported, in addition to the crosstalk between prostate cancer and microbiota inflammation. Although it is not yet possible to draw definitive conclusions on the use of nutraceuticals, several mechanisms of action for many of them have been further clarified.

    Implementation and Scale Up of Point of Care (POC) Diagnostics in Resource-Limited Settings (2021)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Scale up and implementation of new point-of-care (POC) diagnostics is a global health priority to enable the adoption of new evidence-based POC diagnostics and to replicate and extend the reach of POC diagnostics. Global private and public sector agencies have significantly increased their investment in the development of POC diagnostics to meet the unmet needs of patients in resource-limited settings, particularly disease burdened settings with limited access to laboratory infrastructure. However, previous research has demonstrated that the availability of health technologies in these settings does not always guarantee patient-centered outcomes. The applicability, effectiveness and sustainability of diagnostic technologies is affected by the involvement of all stakeholders during planning and implementation, which must be relevant to each specific context and sensitive to local culture.

    Populations réfugiées : De l’exil au retour (2021)
    IRD Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Les migrations internationales sont devenues l'un des enjeux majeurs des rapports entre les États. Dans ce cadre, les mouvements de réfugiés et de déplacés liés aux conflits politiques, identitaires ou territoriaux témoignent de la fragilité de constructions nationales encore si souvent contestées. Les principales modalités d'accueil des réfugiés montrent bien les obstacles à l'intégration comme les limites d'une assistance humanitaire dont l'action reste plus curative que préventive. Mais la paix revenue, le retour et la réintégration des réfugiés dans leur pays d'origine se heurtent encore à des difficultés politiques, juridiques et économiques qui sont autant de freins à la reconstruction nationale et qui, par là même, dessinent les migrations internationales du futur. Tels sont quelques-uns des grands thèmes évoqués dans les différentes contributions de cet ouvrage, dont certaines, comme celles sur les camps palestiniens du Liban, sur la revendication territoriale des Sahraouis ou encore sur le difficile retour des réfugiés cambodgiens, sont d'une actualité toujours brûlante.

    Description: Aux États-Unis, la notion de race est utilisée de manière routinière par les médecins en tant que variable biologique, culturelle ou sociale, selon les situations de soins. Croisant les notions de citoyenneté, de responsabilité et de droits civiques, ainsi que les questionnements autour de la politisation de la science, cet ouvrage retrace l’histoire de la médicalisation du corps noir par la profession psychiatrique aux États-Unis, du xxe siècle jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine. Conjuguant l’histoire et la sociologie, il est ainsi question de retracer les différents régimes par lesquels la notion de race a été jugée pertinente par les psychiatres pour naturaliser les différences corporelles des années 1920 jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine. En s’appuyant sur un corpus d’archives personnelles de médecins, d’institutions de soins et de centres de recherche en psychiatrie, ainsi que sur une enquête qualitative réalisée auprès de psychiatres en Californie, ce livre démontre que la catégorie de race irrigue encore et toujours les pratiques et les discours institutionnels, aussi bien dans les représentations que les médecins véhiculent des corps soignés, que dans les stratégies de naturalisation du social employées pour prendre en charge leurs patients.

    New Advances in the Research of Antioxidant Food Peptides (2022)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: During cell metabolism, oxygen is partially reduced to reactive oxygen species (ROS) that play a physiological role in cellular processes. However, an imbalance between the production of ROS and the ability of defenses to detoxify the organism provokes oxidative stress. Oxidative stress and its subsequent damages to vital cellular components have been associated with numerous severe chronic disorders. In addition, oxidation reactions are responsible for food deterioration during processing and storage. Peptides from animal and vegetal food sources have attracted attention due to the large evidence of their in vitro antioxidant properties. In addition to their potential as safer alternatives to synthetic antioxidants used to prevent oxidative reactions in foods, antioxidant peptides can also act by reducing the risk of numerous oxidative stress-associated diseases. Furthermore, peptides can act synergistically with nonpeptide antioxidants, enhancing their protective effect. This Special Issue of the Foods journal includes outstanding papers illustrating examples of the most recent advances on antioxidant peptides from both vegetal and animal sources. The existing data on their bioactivities demonstrated by in silico, in vitro, and animal models are included as well as the mechanisms of action of identified antioxidant peptides.

    La petite musique des territoires : Arts, espaces et sociétés (2021)
    CNRS Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Faire de la musique un objet géographique ne signifie pas seulement reconnaître en elle un nouvel outil d'analyse des espaces ou un moyen d'agir sur ces derniers. En nous appuyant sur les démarches antérieures menées dans le champ des sciences sociales, nous postulons l'irréductibilité de l'objet musical à une seule dimension disciplinaire. Nous lui attribuons une interdisciplinarité située, territorialisée, mise en tension par les logiques contradictoires entre ancrage local et mondialisation, temps courts et temps longs, perspectives normatives et/ou descriptives, dynamiques créatives... Cadrées par des approches culturelles différentes, les propositions rassemblées dans cet ouvrage rendent compte d'une dynamique collective à l'œuvre. Un réseau scientifique en construction met aujourd'hui en relation la géographie de la musique avec l'urbanisme, la sociologie, les sciences politiques, l'anthropologie, la philosophie ou encore les sciences de la communication. Ensemble, ces disciplines nous invitent à considérer la musique dans les espaces, lieux et territoires qu'elle produit et consomme. Invitation au dialogue, cet ouvrage tente également de relier les productions francophones et anglophones. Il espère ainsi participer à une vision collective et ouverte des recherches sur le phénomène musical.

    Augustine and the Art of Ruling in the Carolingian Imperial Period (Open Access) (2021)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This volume is an investigation of how Augustine was received in the Carolingian period, and the elements of his thought which had an impact on Carolingian ideas of ‘state’, rulership and ethics. It focuses on Alcuin of York and Hincmar of Rheims, authors and political advisers to Charlemagne and to Charles the Bald, respectively. It examines how they used Augustinian political thought and ethics, as manifested in the De civitate Dei, to give more weight to their advice. A comparative approach sheds light on the differences between Charlemagne’s reign and that of his grandson. It scrutinizes Alcuin’s and Hincmar’s discussions of empire, rulership and the moral conduct of political agents during which both drew on the De civitate Dei, although each came away with a different understanding. By means of a philological–historical approach, the book offers a deeper reading and treats the Latin texts as political discourses defined by content and language.

    Vignobles et vins en Aquitaine : Images et identités d’hier et d’aujourd’hui (2021)
    Maison des Sciences de l’Homme d’Aquitaine | Maison des Sciences de l'homme d'Aquitaine
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: En Aquitaine, première région vitivinicole française, la vigne est présente sur la majeure partie des territoires, et la filière, avec ses exploitations en Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, ses caves coopératives et ses maisons de négoce, constitue une forte composante de l'économie régionale. Les grands crus sont les principaux référents pour l'image des vins aquitains et tirent vers le haut l'ensemble du vignoble, et cependant les vins de Bordeaux occultent la diversité et la richesse des vins aquitains, ce qui nuit à une image de l'Aquitaine comme pays du vin. Vignobles et vins en Aquitaine s'attache à étudier ce paradoxe. La première partie, dans une synthèse de nombreux écrits de recherche, explique comment les histoires agraire, économique et humaine de la région ont fait du vin une spécificité aquitaine, inscrite dans les paysages et les sociétés, et évalue le rôle de la « place de Bordeaux ». La seconde partie propose des éclairages plus circonstanciés, regroupés en deux thèmes : les facteurs et marqueurs de la construction des territoires viticoles constituent un premier axe d'étude, suivi par les représentations et la défense de l'image qui forment un second champ. Les territoires viticoles aquitains sont des constructions sociales complexes, génératrices d'une identité forte et porteuse. Cet ouvrage a été réalisé par la collaboration d'historiens, géographes, économistes ou œnologues au sein de la MSHA et dans le cadre de programmes pluridisciplinaires du CERVIN (composante de l'UMR ADES). Il soulève des problématiques telles que l'articulation entre société et terroir, les effets déformants du système AOC ou les logiques territoriales « de clocher » qui ont perturbé la création d'une identité régionale. Les recherches de ces différents auteurs nous permettent de comprendre comment les viticulteurs aquitains ont été en mesure de maintenir une production que le monde entier envie encore malgré la crise.

    Acute and Chronic Changes in Neural Excitability During Physical Activity in Non-Pathological States (2021)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Neural control of human motor output and how it is modified by alterations in physical activity levels is complex and multidimensional. The use of various experimental designs has vastly increased our knowledge of how the nervous system integrates descending, segmental, and ascending information to produce motor outputs, yet there is still much to learn. A more complete picture of the neurophysiology underlying the control of human motor outputs may prove useful in guiding rehabilitation programs aimed at reducing motor impairments following disease or injury. The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect original articles that explore neural excitability in various states. Studies examining neural excitability on a moment-to-moment basis (acute) or following prolonged periods of exercise or skill training and disuse (chronic) are encouraged. Original research studies using various experimental measures (e.g., transcranial magnetic stimulation, transmastoid electrical stimulation, single motor unit recordings, electroencephalography, and measures of spinal reflexes) in various states (e.g., fatigued, non-fatigued, and resting) during different types of motor outputs (tonic or dynamic) are encouraged. Experimental studies and literature reviews are welcome.

    Description: L’urbanisation à l’échelle planétaire et la conscience croissante des problèmes écologiques font de l’« urbain » un objet privilégié pour l’action publique et la recherche. C’est en effet grâce à la perspective urbaine que nous parvenons aujourd’hui à une meilleure compréhension des sociétés contemporaines et des milieux de vie. En articulant les dimensions sociales, écologiques, politiques et matérielles, les recherches actuelles apportent de nouvelles connaissances sur les théories et définitions de l’urbain, les populations urbaines et la production de leur cadre de vie. Les enjeux sont de taille. Ils touchent à la qualité de vie des citadins et à la forme de nos sociétés : diversification des populations, accroissement des inégalités, recompositions des flux, des échelles et des pouvoirs urbains, changements de l’environnement planétaire, etc. Le présent ouvrage, qui repose sur un important travail collectif sur les villes des Nords et des Suds, propose un panorama engagé de ces enjeux présents et, surtout, à venir pour la recherche urbaine.

    Our Unswerving Loyalty (2021)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The story of the Communist Party of Australia has been told in various ways. Until now, however, archival collections that have borne on this story have been relatively inaccessible to the ordinary, interested reader. This book begins to redress that deficiency by bringing together 85 key documents from the Russian State Archives of Social and Political History (RGASPI), selected from a collection of thousands of documents concerning the relations between the Communist International and the Communist Party of Australia. The selection focuses on the relationship between the CPA and the Comintern because the activities of the CPA are essentially incomprehensible without understanding the international communist context within which the CPA operated. That context was dominated by the newly-created Soviet state and its decision to authorize and utilize a network of communist parties throughout the world. The documents in this work suggest three major propositions about the relationship between the CPA and the Comintern. First, that the Comintern was crucial in the formation of the CPA, via its emissaries, instructions and authority. Second, that the Comintern played a major role in directing the policies of the CPA in domestic matters (not to mention in international matters, where the Comintern’s decisions were supreme). And third, that the leadership of the CPA was, from 1929 onwards, shaped, trained and authorized by the Comintern. With access to the documents, readers now have a chance not just to hear the voices of the times, but to make their own judgements about the relationship between the CPA and Moscow. The book also includes two extended introductory essays that outline the development of the Comintern and its relations with the CPA, as well as supporting materials that provide information on individuals, organizations and tactics mentioned within the documents themselves.

    Description: As an important tool of systems biology, proteomics has enabled a deep understanding of different plant processes and functions. Complemented with genomic data, computational tools, and improved sample preparation strategies, proteomics has an unprecedented opportunity to characterize plant proteoforms in high spatial and temporal resolution. This special issue of Plant Proteomic Research 4.0 captures the recent advancements in proteomics and addresses the current challenges of plant stress response and resilience in the ever-changing climate. It contains 12 articles, including three reviews and nine original research articles. The three reviews deal with pollen phosphoproteomics, starch biosynthesis-related proteins and posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in rice developing seeds, and PTMs of waxy proteins in rice grain. The nine research articles include three related to temperature, two on water stress, two on salt stress, one on fungal pathogen, and the last one on field-grown potato apoplast proteome. The articles reflect the current frontiers of plant proteomics, focusing on themes of environmental stresses, proteoforms/PTMs, crop species, and new development in data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry. They provide readers insights into current technologies, their utility in understanding plant growth and resilience, as well as directions of proteomics in the frontiers of systems biology and synthetic biology.

    New Advances into Nanostructured Oxides (2023)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: In recent years, inorganic oxidic nanomaterials have been extensively investigated for their outstanding properties that allow their use within a large variety of raising fields of interest, ranging from (photo)catalysis to the development of functional nanocomposites. Nanoscopic metal (eventually mixed) oxides are often fabricated following soft-chemistry approaches, characterized by the possibility of favouring specific morphologies, particles dimensions, and surface porosities through different synthetic methods and templating processes. In this context, surface functionalities and reactivity play a major role in the determination of nanomaterials final properties. For this reason, further surface functionalization with specific chemical moieties is often recommended to extend their field of application. This Special Issue, now edited as a book, aimed at extending the comprehension of the mechanisms involved in the synthesis and templating of inorganic oxidic nanomaterials, as well as in their surface functionalization and reactivity. Additionally, this Special Issue aimed at increasing the knowledge on the latest advances of these systems in (photo)catalysis, environmental clean-up processes, energy storage, controlled transport and/or release, biomedicine, sensing, development of smart-materials, stimuli-responsive materials, and nanocomposites.

    Les ingénieurs des Mines : cultures, pouvoirs, pratiques : Colloque des 7 et 8 octobre 2010 (2021)
    Institut de la gestion publique et du développement économique
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Les grands corps de l’État n’ont pas toujours bonne presse, mais, en même temps, ils fascinent. Créé au XVIIIe siècle, le corps des Mines n’a cessé de contribuer à la construction économique du pays. Passés par l’École polytechnique et l’École des mines, les ingénieurs du corps ont surveillé et, souvent, directement encadré les secteurs de l’industrie et de l’énergie. Ils ont également joué un rôle éminent dans le domaine scientifique, leurs contributions allant des sciences « dures » (mathématiques et physique, avec Henri Poincaré, chimie avec Henry Le Chatelier) à l’économie, avec Maurice Allais, le seul Français ayant reçu le prix Nobel d’économie, et aussi la sociologie, avec Frédéric Le Play, considéré comme l’un des précurseurs de cette discipline. Industriel dans son essence, industrialiste dans son esprit, ce corps de fonctionnaires a souvent adopté des approches libérales, mais, a contrario, il a souvent impulsé un patriotisme économique de bon aloi dans le cadre de « grands programmes » d’État. Il restait à la richesse de cette expérience, à la fois technique, scientifique et administrative, à se constituer en histoire, à se « conscientiser ». Telle était l’ambition du colloque dont les actes sont présentés dans ce volume. Organisé dans le cadre de la célébration du deux centième anniversaire du décret du 18 novembre 1810 qui a organisé le « Corps impérial des Ingénieurs des Mines », ce colloque historique s’est attaché à mettre en lumière le rôle joué au service de la France par ces hauts fonctionnaires à formation scientifique et technique.

    Decision Support Tools for Water Quality Management (2023)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: The sustainability of water resources worldwide is increasingly imperiled as climate change contributes to the human-induced problems of water supply scarcity and maldistribution. Environmental problems associated with water quality, such as aquifer depletion, land subsidence, the seasonal drying of river flows, waterlogging, the salinization of rivers and groundwater, and human health problems from the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides will require a radical re-thinking of resource-management policy and new tools to help analysts and regulators craft novel solutions. Over the past several decades, with the advent and rapid progress of computational technology, watershed models have increasingly become important and effective tools for tackling a wide range of water resource and environmental management issues and for supporting regulatory compliance. Statistical and machine-learning methods are being used to support and even supplant more traditional simulation models to improve the estimation of the temporal dynamics and patterns of variability in pollutant concentrations and loads. With the advancements in modeling approaches for water quality, there have also been developments in decision-support tools for water quality management. This reprint describes innovative decision-support approaches from around the world and across sectors that can be applied by stakeholders, government entities, and regulators to reduce environmental pollution and result in cost-effective and sustainable water management strategies.

    Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability-Volume 2 (2022)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: Our world is facing many challenges, such as poverty, hunger, resource shortage, environmental degradation, climate change, and increased inequalities and conflicts. To address such challenges, the United Nations proposed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), consisting of 17 interlinked global goals, as the strategic blueprint of world sustainable development. Nevertheless, the implementation of the SDG framework has been very challenging and the COVID-19 pandemic has further impeded the SDG implementation progress. Accelerated efforts are needed to enable all stakeholders, ranging from national and local governments, civil society, private sector, academia and youth, to contribute to addressing this dilemma. This volume of the Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability book series aims to offer inspiration and creativity on approaches to sustainable development. Among other things, it covers topics of COVID-19 and sustainability, environmental pollution, food production, clean energy, low-carbon transport promotion, and strategic governance for sustainable initiatives. This book can reveal facts about the challenges we are facing on the one hand and provide a better understanding of drivers, barriers, and motivations to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all on the other. Research presented in this volume can provide different stakeholders, including planners and policy makers, with better solutions for the implementation of SDGs. Prof. Bao-Jie He acknowledges the Project NO. 2021CDJQY-004 supported by the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities. We appreciate the assistance from Mr. Lifeng Xiong, Mr. Wei Wang, Ms. Xueke Chen and Ms. Anxian Chen at School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing University, China.

    L’épistémologie sociale : Une théorie sociale de la connaissance (2021)
    Éditions de l’École des hautes études en sciences sociales
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: L'épistémologie sociale est une analyse de la dimension sociale de la connaissance. Son point de départ est le constat que bien des phénomènes ne nous sont connus que par l'intermédiaire des autres et donc que la connaissance a non seulement des sources directes, celles auxquelles le sujet a lui-même accès, mais aussi des sources indirectes reposant sur la confiance ou sur l'autorité accordée à autrui. Elle s'intéresse donc aux conditions de la transmission de l'information venant d'autrui, et aux relations de confiance et d'autorité épistémiques, notamment dans le domaine des sciences. Mais ses préoccupations sont plus larges et concernent tout ce qui a trait à la dimension sociale de la connaissance: la construction, au cours d'interactions, de justifications recevables ou acceptables; les modes ordinaires de pensée et de raisonnement; ou encore les relations de coopération et de collaboration dans une « communauté épistémique ». De plus elle reprend des questions qui étaient au cœur de la théorie durkeimienne de la connaissance, celle par exemple des croyances collectives, ou l'idée d'un sujet collectif du savoir. Par là elle se rapproche des social studies of science, tout en s'en distinguant par l'adoption d'un point de vue normatif et par le refus du relativisme. Ce volume présente un ensemble de recherches représentatives de ces différentes préoccupations. Elles ont en commun de reconnaître la spécificité de l'idée de normes de la connaissance, et, s'agissant de concevoir la dimension sociale de celle-ci, de se garder des formes radicales de holisme, pour lesquelles les groupes sociaux sont des entités sui generis.

    Description: The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences.

    L’espace public (2021)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Dans son acception classique, dite républicaine, l'espace public traverse une crise dont beaucoup pensent qu'il ne s'en remettra pas. Menacé aussi dans ses manifestations matérielles par la violence, l'Insécurité et les divers communautarismes ou replis sur soi, l'espace public ne semble plus pouvoir répondre aux attentes dont il avait fait l'objet par l'intermédiaire de l'aménagement. Cet ouvrage prend le contre-pied de ces Interprétations, en montrant que, loin d'avoir perdu de sa pertinence, la préoccupation pour l'espace public demeure essentielle pour affronter les défis posés par la société contemporaine, dans la mesure où la réflexion est constamment ramenée à la spatialité qui en fonde l'Intérêt et la portée. Une approche renouvelée de l'espace public est Ici proposée, qui se déploie en associant étroitement trois composantes : la matérialité, la politique, l'action, car nos analyses ne peuvent plus faire l'économie de les considérer séparément. Sa mise à l'épreuve de grands enjeux contemporains montre que l'on peut parler tout autant de régressions que d'émergences.

    Pas de fumet sans feu : cuisine et vie quotidienne auprès des moines de Tournus (IXe-XVIe siècle) (2021)
    ARTEHIS Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: C’est sur un espace utilisé depuis la fin du ixe siècle, occupé aux environs de l’an mil par une étonnante construction de bois à sol de béton et à vocation funéraire, que s’implante au xiie siècle la nouvelle cuisine de l’abbaye Saint-Philibert de Tournus. Lié au réfectoire voisin, le bâtiment empiète à l’époque sur des niveaux de circulation extérieure. Sa conception architecturale est ambitieuse, avec un plan centré sur un octogone entouré de vastes cheminées à contrecœur semi-circulaire qui évoque des modèles de l’ouest de la France - disparus pour la plupart, à l’exception ou presque de la cuisine de Fontevraud en Anjou. Toutefois, au contraire de ces exemples connus uniquement pour leur architecture, c’est la conservation en place des dépôts d’utilisation intérieurs, compressés à force d’accumulation et de piétinements, qui fait la richesse du spécimen tournusien, illustrant de façon saisissante le quotidien de cette cuisine jusqu’au milieu du xvie siècle. Pendant quatre siècles, c’est autour de grandes langues de cendres témoignant d’une cuisson dans la braise, étalées depuis les quatre foyers jusqu’au milieu de la pièce, que se concentre l’essentiel de l’activité. Les postes de préparation sont trahis par autant de tas de déchets spécialisés : coquilles d’œufs, fragments d’os, écailles de poisson… Une conduite d’eau et un drain de pierres traversent la pièce, portiques ou paravents de bois sont déplacés sans cesse. La permanence de déchets de consommation carnée sur le même site depuis la fin du ixe siècle, l’abondance des restes de poisson dans la cuisine, permettent de retracer l’évolution de l’approvisionnement et de l’alimentation des moines et de leurs familiers laïcs. Quant aux nombreux fragments de poteries, également présents depuis les premiers niveaux, ils offrent sur huit siècles, avec d’autres sites tournusiens, un référentiel de productions en usage dans la région. À cela s’ajoutent quelques restes d’ustensiles en métal, verre ou pierre, tels cette probable tête de robinet des xiie/xiiie siècles ou ce mortier décoré du xive, retrouvé cassé au fond d’une cheminée : ils éclairent, plus ponctuellement, d’autres aspects de la préparation culinaire ou du service de la table. De tout point de vue, en plein contexte monastique, le matériel recueilli trahit les usages d’une population aristocratique. Tels sont les apports d’une fouille minutieuse à l’emplacement de cet édifice crucial de l’abbaye médiévale, un peu oublié à Tournus depuis sa destruction au xviie siècle, mais ressuscité par cet ouvrage finement documenté.

    Description: Les vecteurs des agents du paludisme ou de la leishmaniose, rencontrés lors de voyages dans les régions à climat chaud, s'ajoutant à la transmission par le moustique tigre (Aedes albopictus) des virus chikungunya et de la dengue dans le sud de la France, ont montré l'intérêt d'une réflexion approfondie sur la protection personnelle antivectorielle. En cas d'épidémie, nos concitoyens se protègent individuellement en se procurant sur le marché tout un arsenal de moyens où le meilleur côtoie le pire. Pour donner à chacun des informations sur l'efficacité et l'innocuité de ces moyens de protection, la Société de médecine des voyages et la Société française de parasitologie ont initié cette étude qui a pris la forme de « Recommandations de bonne pratique », en suivant le schéma élaboré par la Haute Autorité de santé. Cet ouvrage rassemble ainsi toutes les données pertinentes, validées et mises en forme pour être utilisées non seulement par les personnels de santé (médecins, pharmaciens, infirmiers), mais aussi par les agents touristiques ainsi que par les particuliers pour se protéger des nuisances et des maladies à vecteurs qui constituent de préoccupants problèmes de santé publique.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Dans sa Démonolâtrie (1595), le procureur général de Lorraine, Nicolas Remy, estime que « Les sorciers appartiennent la plupart du temps au monde des bourgs et des campagnes. ». Cependant, les vauderies survenues à Lyon et Arras au XVe siècle comme les cas de possession du XVIIe siècle sont autant de témoignages de la présence de la sorcellerie dans les villes européennes. Les études de cas et les essais comparatifs réunis dans ce volume montrent qu'en dépit de la diversité des sociétés urbaines, la sorcellerie apparaît comme un révélateur des enjeux de pouvoir qui traversent les villes modernes.Dans sa postface, Carlo Ginzburg insiste sur la portée d'une approche comparatiste, toujours attentive aux écarts à la norme, et souligne l'importance d’aborder les procès de sorcellerie comme une manifestation particulière des tensions sociales et culturelles.

    L'Or Blanc : Petits et grands planteurs face au « boom » de l’hévéaculture (Viêt Nam-Cambodge) (2021)
    Institut de recherche sur l’Asie du Sud-Est contemporaine
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Les hauts-plateaux méridionaux du Viêt Nam et du Cambodge connaissent depuis le milieu des années 2000 une forte augmentation des superficies plantées en hévéa. Les booms de l’hévéaculture diffèrent significativement de part et d’autre de la frontière, mais ils sont également étroitement liés dans le contexte d’une intégration régionale des filières et des territoires qui se renforce. Cette transformation est impulsée par le jeu des marchés globalisés et de puissants acteurs étrangers tels que la Chine et la Malaisie, mais les gouvernements nationaux jouent également un rôle important en matière d’accès et d’usage des terres agricoles. L’or blanc et les nouveaux eldorados ne sont pas qu’un enjeu économique ; sont également en jeu les influences et les rapports de force entre les pays de la sous-région du Grand Mékong, à l’image des importantes transactions foncières transnationales. Pour mieux comprendre la transition agraire actuelle impulsée par le boom de l’hévéa, les auteurs de cet ouvrage ont tenu à revenir sur l’histoire, l’époque de la colonisation européenne et les expériences socialistes. L’ouvrage analyse également la capacité des populations locales à résister aux pressions des nouveaux arrivants et la compétition que représentent les plantations d’hévéa de grande taille mécanisées.

    Rethinking Interdisciplinarity across the Social Sciences and Neurosciences (2021)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This book offers a provocative account of interdisciplinary research across the neurosciences, social sciences and humanities. Setting itself against standard accounts of interdisciplinary 'integration,' and rooting itself in the authors' own experiences, the book establishes a radical agenda for collaboration across these disciplines. Rethinking Interdisciplinarity does not merely advocate interdisciplinary research, but attends to the hitherto tacit pragmatics, affects, power dynamics, and spatial logics in which that research is enfolded. Understanding the complex relationships between brains, minds, and environments requires a delicate, playful and genuinely experimental interdisciplinarity, and this book shows us how it can be done.

The synthesis and full characterization of about 180 novel organic species, both of natural and synthetic origin, often designed with the support of in-silico studies, are set out in the book. In several articles, molecular hybridization approaches have been used as a successful multi-target strategy for the design and development of novel antitumor agents. Rigorous and careful biochemical studies ranging from in-vitro experiments on a plethora of human-cancer derived cell lines to in-vivo and ex-vivo studies allowed the authors to identify the molecular targets and gain useful information on structure–activity relationships (SAR). For this reason, this collection should interest many readers from different scientific fields.

    Description: The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences.

    Functional Polymers as Innovative Tools in the Delivery of Antimicrobial Agents (2022)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: This Special Issue explored different topics concerning recent progress in the synthesis and characterization of suitable innovative macromolecular systems, proposed as carriers of specific antimicrobial molecules, to be employed in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Many infectious diseases are induced by omnipresent micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and algae, and, consequently, are very common, accounting for a significant share of the global disease burden. Unfortunately, antimicrobial resistance, adverse effects, and the high cost of antimicrobials are crucial health challenges worldwide. One of the common efforts in addressing this issue lies in improving the existing antimicrobial delivery systems. In this regard, nanoparticles as well as three-dimensional hydrophilic systems represent valuable tools able to ensure excellent performances. Biocompatible polymeric particles, entrapping these bioactive molecules, are capable of releasing them over a desired period of time, thereby decreasing the frequency of their administration. At the same time, these systems are able to protect antimicrobial drugs from degradation, enhancing their bioavailability. This Special Issue serves to highlight and capture the contemporary progress recorded in this field.

    Sociologie de la transphobie (2021)
    Maison des Sciences de l’Homme d’Aquitaine
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Très souvent méconnue ou mésestimée dans ses effets les plus graves, la transphobie regroupe de nombreuses discriminations dont sont victimes les transidentités, qu'elles se définissent comme transgenres, transsexuelles ou en tant qu'identités alternatives. Les données recueillies lors d'un travail d'enquêtes et d'entretiens laissent entrevoir que l'acte transphobe peut aussi bien être le fait de la personne lambda que des institutions censées protéger les personnes. Quels sont les mécanismes à l'œuvre ? Quelle est la part du social, du politique voire du culturel dans ce qui concoure à la disqualification de l'autre et de la différence ? Cet ouvrage propose un état des lieux de la question en France et des pistes de réflexion à la lumière des Sciences Humaines et Sociales, tout en relayant et en analysant les témoignages sans ambiguïtés du quotidien des personnes concernées. Une sociologie de la transphobie est un travail de recherche qui pose des questions et propose des pistes de réflexions comme autant de réponses possibles aux processus de discriminations.

    Chapter The Luwian Goddess Darawa (2023)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: The PN Kammalia-Tarawa in an Old Assyrian tablet seems to be the earliest reference of the deity Darawa. The Luwian background this deity is also apparent, e.g., from the plural form DDa-ra-ú-wa-an-zi or from those texts mentioned in CTH 457 and the etymological interpretation of the divine name to the Luwian verb tarāwi(ya)-. Since the early Middle Hittite period Darawa also found her way into the Hattian milieu and as a goddess connected with the family life, she is mentioned several times in festivals for a queen (CTH 646), but also in the Hittite Prayer to the Sun-goddess of the Netherworld (CTH 371) which is – in my opinion – the only Hittite texts mentioning Darawa within the “pantheon of the state”. Texts from the Hurrian and Kizzuwatnaean milieu (e.g., CTH 351) also refer several times to Darawa, but this is clearly the result of a secondary and marginal dissemination of the goddess. In conclusion one might say that Darawa from her Luwian background also came into contact with various milieus of the “Hittite pantheon”, functioning as a goddess providing good (and evil) to humans in everyday life.

    The Diversity of Wood and Non-Wood Forest Products: Anatomical, Physical and Chemical Properties, and Potential Applications (2023)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: The diversity of wood and non-wood forest products is enormous and reflected in their anatomical, physical and chemical properties as well as their potential applications. Special attention should be given to lesser-known species and even to invasive species, which may be profitable when properly managed, thereby decreasing the overexploitation of threatened species. Besides the market importance of stem wood, other tree components and non-wood forest products, often regarded simply as forest residual materials, are valuable forest resources with various potential applications that can strengthen the circular economy. Assessing the characteristics of these diverse materials, such as their structure and anatomy as well as their physical and chemical properties, is fundamental for evaluating their potential and increasing high-quality end-uses. This knowledge will also contribute to sustainable forest management with enhanced forest diversity and species conservation in addition to the reinforcement of certification and environmental policies.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Ginseng and Borderland explores the territorial boundaries and political relations between Qing China and Chosŏn Korea during the period from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth centuries. By examining a unique body of materials written in Chinese, Manchu, and Korean, and building on recent studies in New Qing History, Seonmin Kim adds new perspectives to current understandings of the remarkable transformation of the Manchu Qing dynasty (1636–1912) from a tribal state to a universal empire. This book discusses early Manchu history and explores the Qing Empire’s policy of controlling Manchuria and Chosŏn Korea. Kim also contributes to the Korean history of the Chosŏn dynasty (1392–1910) by challenging conventional accounts that embrace a China-centered interpretation of the tributary relationship between the two polities, stressing instead the agency of Chosŏn Korea in the formation of the Qing Empire. This study demonstrates how Koreans interpreted and employed this relationship in order to preserve the boundary—and peace—with the suzerain power. By focusing on the historical significance of the China-Korea boundary, this book defines the nature of the Qing Empire through the dynamics of contacts and conflicts under both the cultural and material frameworks of its tributary relationship with Chosŏn Korea.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: New scientific advances in different areas have allowed the design of more precise strategies for the prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders through nutrition. In this context emerges the term Precision Nutrition, a new approach that takes advantage of scientific knowledge about the interaction of internal and external environmental factors to develop dynamic and precise nutritional recommendations. Therefore, Precision Nutrition includes personalized advice based on genetics and well-documented gene–nutrient–phenotype interactions, as well as other factors such as individual metabolome, transcriptome, and microbiota profile; food behavior; and dietary, physical activity, and life-style habits; and the resulting interactomes. Precision Nutrition should be based at least on three sequential steps: conventional nutritional approaches (considering age, gender, and physiological states); the incorporation of nutritional and health status information (e.g., metabolites, physical and nutritional behavior); and the genetic baggage including multiomics functional integration.

    Description: Historiography and literature are verbal representations of actions and events that either have happened or could happen in the human lifeworld. As such, they possess an uncanny ‘family resemblance’ that has impelled theorists since Antiquity to define the limits of the two ‘sister arts.’ Historiographical texts, from one point of view, are liable to veer towards fiction.

    Cognitive Buildings (2022)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: Cognitive building is a pioneering topic envisioning the future of our built environment. The concept of "cognitive" provides a paradigm shift that steps from the static concept of the building as a container of human activities towards the modernist vision of "machine à habiter" of Le Corbusier, where the technological content adds the capability of learning from users' behavior and environmental variables to adapt itself to achieve major goals such as user comfort, energy-saving, flexible functionality, high durability, and good maintainability. The concept is based on digital frameworks and IoT networks towards the concept of a smart city.

    Ceramics and the Spanish Conquest (2021)
    Brill
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: The Spanish colonization dramatically interrupted the autonomous development of ancient Mesoamerican culture. Nevertheless, indigenous societies learnt to live with the conquest. It was not only a time of crisis, but also an extraordinarily creative time period in which material culture reflected indigenous peoples’ varied responses and adaptations to the changing circumstances. This work presents insights into the process of cultural continuity and change in the indigenous world by focusing on pottery technology in the Nahua (Aztec) region of Central Mexico. The late pre-colonial, early colonial and present-day characteristics of this industry are explored in order to come to a renewed understanding of its long-term development.

    Chapter Material Culture (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | The Hispanic-Anglosphere from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Hispanic and Anglo worlds are often portrayed as the Cain and Abel of Western culture, antagonistic and alien to each other. This book challenges such view with a new critical conceptual framework – the ‘Hispanic-Anglosphere’ – to open a window into the often surprising interactions of individuals, transnational networks and global communities that, it argues, made of the British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) a crucial hub for the global Hispanic world, a launching-pad and a bridge between Spanish Europe, Africa, America and Asia in the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Perhaps not unlike today, that was a time marked by social uncertainty, pandemics, the dislocation of global polities and the rise of radicalisms. The volume offers insights on many themes including trade, the arts, education, language, politics, the press, religion, biodiversity, philanthropy, anti-slavery and imperialism. Established academics and rising stars from different continents and disciplines combined original, primary research with a wide range of secondary sources to produce a rich collection of ten case-studies, 25 biographies and seven samples of interpreted material culture, all presented in an accessible style appealing to scholars, students and the general reader alike.

    Le livre de raison d’Antoine Peint (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Provence
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Cet ouvrage présente le manuscrit écrit par un marchand arlésien dans le dernier tiers du XVIe siècle. Homme de condition relativement modeste, issu du monde agricole, probablement la frange haute qui s’est hissée vers la boutique, il entreprend de laisser ce qu’il intitule un « Livre de memoyres pour moy Anthoine Peinct » dont les premières notices remontent à 1569. Ce livre rappelle certains événements et laisse la trace d’affaires passées jugées importantes, mais c’est essentiellement un livre de comptes dans lequel se mêlent des événements familiaux, naturels ou politiques qui frappent les esprits. Écrit en pleine période de la Ligue qui secoue sévèrement la ville d’Arles, il fournit l’occasion à son lecteur de prendre la mesure de la croissance des activités du marchand Antoine Peint, majoritairement des prêts, et de cerner ses réseaux de sociabilité. Ce document, croisé avec d’autres sources (registres paroissiaux, délibérations communales, registres fiscaux et notariaux), donne le moyen de percevoir la stratégie d’ascension sociale que cet homme met en œuvre dans le contexte politique de la période et d’en découvrir l’efficacité puisqu’il accède au statut de bourgeois et que, peu après sa disparition, son fils aîné accèdera à la noblesse.

    Exploring the Relationship between Urban Form, Mobility and Social Well-Being: Towards an Interdisciplinary Field of Sustainable Urban Planning and Transport Development (2023)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: This reprint focuses on exploring the relationship between urban form, mobility, and social well-being across neighborhoods, cities, and regions. Understanding more about these relationships is helpful in shaping integrated sustainable urban planning and transport development strategies. All reprint chapters primarily contribute to the existing literature on the interdisciplinary field of the impact of urban planning and transport on social well-being and facilitate novel ways of measuring the abstract concept of well-being, particularly in Asian and European countries. We suggested that further research could explore these themes in greater depth by means of both theoretical frameworks and methodological developments in this integrated field.

    La protection de l’enfance (2021)
    Editions IES
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Que se passe-t-il lorsque des parents ne sont pas en mesure d'assurer des conditions adéquates au développement ou au bien-être de leur enfant ? Comment les autorités et services concernés agissent-ils ? Quels sont les difficultés, les obstacles ou les résistances - institutionnels ou privés ? Comment les différentes instances collaborent-elles dans ce domaine ? La protection de l'enfance doit faire face à diverses situations de mise en danger ; dans de telles circonstances, le code civil suisse oblige l'État à créer des conditions garantissant le bien-être de l'enfant. Or, cela ne se passe pas sans dilemme, sans hésitation ni doute. Une équipe de chercheurs issue du domaine travail social de la HES Lucerne et de la faculté de droit de l'Université de Genève s'est penchée sur ces questions dans le cadre du Programme National de Recherche (PNR-52), « L'enfance, la jeunesse et les relations entre générations dans une société en mutation ». Au moyen d'une étude sociologique, les auteurs comparent quatre dispositifs de mise en œuvre de la protection de l'enfance en Suisse alémanique et en Suisse romande. Ils mettent ainsi en lumière les effets des structures institutionnelles sur les procédures et sur la mise en place des mesures de protection. Chaque analyse est enrichie de regards critiques de praticiens de la protection de l'enfance. Combinant approches théorique et empirique, La protection de l'enfance : gestion de l'incertitude et du risque s'attache à analyser comment services sociaux et autorités de tutelles abordent les risques constitués par l'obligation d'agir dans une double incertitude : celle liée au développement de l'enfant et celle liée aux conséquences de l'intervention étatique dans la sphère familiale.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: Phytochemicals from natural products are now widely used as food additives (antioxidants, pigments), food supplements, cosmetic ingredients, etc. Currently, the majority of the extraction processes implemented on an industrial scale for the production of bioactive-enriched extracts are based on solvents of petroleum origin. However, contemporary trends in green extraction techniques dictate a minimization of solvent use, low-energy processes and novel eco-friendly materials that are environmentally benign. The search for liquids and/or extraction technologies that could meet such requirements is, therefore, an intriguing concept. This book addresses the concept of recovering natural bioactive substances from plant resources, using state-of-the-art extraction technologies, with prospects in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

    Creative Spaces (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Creative Spaces: Urban Culture and Marginality is an interdisciplinary exploration of the different ways in which marginal urban spaces have become privileged locations for creativity in Latin America. The essays within the collection reassess dominant theoretical notions of ‘marginality’ in the region and argue that, in contemporary society, it invariably allows for (if not leads to) the production of the new. While Latin American cities have, since their foundation, always included marginal spaces (due, for example, to the segregation of indigenous groups), the massive expansion of informal housing constructed on occupied land in the second half of the twentieth century have brought them into the collective imaginary like never before. Originally viewed as spaces of deprivation, violence, and dangerous alterity, the urban margins were later romanticized as spaces of opportunity and popular empowerment. Instead, this volume analyses the production of new art forms, political organizations and subjectivities emerging from the urban margins in Latin America, neither condemning nor idealizing the effects they produce. To account for the complex nature of contemporary urban marginality, the volume draws on research from a wide spectrum of disciplines, ranging from cultural and urban studies to architecture and sociology. Thus the collection analyzes how these different conceptions of marginal spaces work together and contribute to the imagined and material reality of the wider city.

    How Intelligence Can Be a Solution to Consequential World Problems (2022)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute

    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Intelligence research is mainly concerned with basic science questions; what is the psychometric structure of intelligence? What are the cognitive bases of intelligence? What are the brain-based correlates of intelligence? What does intelligence predict? Such research is needed, but there are also problems larger than those presented in intelligence tests, including problems of today. What is the role of human intelligence in solving consequential real-world problems? Here, leading scholars in the field of intelligence each address one real-world problem—a problem of their choice—and explain how intelligence has been, or could be, essential for a solution.

    Histoire en marges (2022)
    Presses universitaires François-Rabelais
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Dès la deuxième moitié du xixe siècle, dans un contexte d’intense ségrégation raciale aux États-Unis, des Africains-Américains écrivent l’histoire occultée de leur communauté pour l’inscrire au cœur du récit national et, au-delà, pour révéler la contribution de la diaspora noire à l’histoire mondiale. Cette histoire en marge questionne la discipline historique elle-même et affirme la nécessité d’écrire une histoire-monde. Mais comment écrire une véritable histoire globale? Ce livre entend démontrer qu’il faut non seulement donner droit de cité à celles et ceux qui ont trop souvent été exclus du récit historique ou ont été relégués à ses marges, mais aussi concevoir la marge (géographique, sociale, économique) comme un centre d’innovation épistémologique et politique, un lieu paradoxalement privilégié pour (re)penser et (ré)écrire l’histoire. Depuis plus d’un siècle à travers le monde, des historiens et des historiennes placent la périphérie au centre et, par là même, déprovincialisent l’histoire. Ce sont ces travaux qui, faisant l’histoire des marges (sexuelles-genrées, impériales-coloniales, scientifiques-disciplinaires...), participent à l’écriture d’une histoire globale.

    History without Chronology (2021)
    Lever Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Although numerous disciplines recognize multiple ways of conceptualizing time, Stefan Tanaka argues that scholars still overwhelmingly operate on chronological and linear Newtonian or classical time that emerged during the Enlightenment. This short, approachable book implores the humanities and humanistic social sciences to actively embrace the richness of different times that are evident in non-modern societies and have become common in several scientific fields throughout the twentieth century. Tanaka first offers a history of chronology by showing how the social structures built on clocks and calendars gained material expression. Tanaka then proposes that we can move away from this chronology by considering how contemporary scientific understandings of time might be adapted to reconceive the present and pasts. This opens up a conversation that allows for the possibility of other ways to know about and re-present pasts. A multiplicity of times will help us broaden the historical horizon by embracing the heterogeneity of our lives and world via rethinking the complex interaction between stability, repetition, and change. This history without chronology also allows for incorporating the affordances of digital media.

    Civic Spaces and Desire (2021)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Civic Spaces and Desire presents an original and critical appraisal of civic spaces for a novel theoretical intersection of architecture and human geography. The authors address civic spaces that embody a strong moral code, such as a remembrance park or a casino, in various places in the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. The consecutive chapters of the book present these chosen spaces as the interconnection between the everyday and the ideological. By doing so the book reimagines the socio-political effects of the countercultural assemblages and ontologies of difference that these spaces produce, represent and foster, as presented through outcasts and nomads of various kinds and forms. The book reflects on different interpretations of the key texts from primarily post-linguistic theoreticians, such as Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Jacques Derrida. It will benefit students and academics in architecture, geography, philosophy and urban studies and planning, who seek to understand the politics of space, place and civility. By deconstructing normative ideological constructs, the book uses the concept of desire to explore the tensions between expectations of civic spaces and the disappointment and wonder of their immanent existence.

    The System of the Inquisition in Medieval Europe (2021)
    Peter Lang International Academic Publishing Group
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This book reexamines the origins and growth of the medieval inquisition which provided a framework for the large-scale operations against religious dissidents. In the last quarter of the twelfth century, the papacy launched concerted efforts to hunt out heretics, mostly Cathars and Waldensians, and directed operations against them all across Latin Christendom. The bull of Pope Lucius III Ad abolendam of 1184 became a turning point in the formation of the inquisitorial system which made both the clergy and the laity responsible for suppressing any religious dissent. From a comparative perspective, the study analyzes political, social and religious developments which in the High Middle Ages gave birth to the mechanism of repression and religious violence supervised by the papacy and operated by bishops and, starting from the 1230s, papal inquisitors, extraordinary judges delegate staffed mostly by Dominican and Franciscan friars.

    Monitoring Land Subsidence Using Remote Sensing (2022)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: In this book are reported nine works related to land subsidence monitoring using remote sensing techniques. Land subsidence is a common phenomenon in many regions of the world, where it causes degradation of local ecosystems and disruption of economic activities. Its effects are more evident in densely populated areas in particular in low-lying territories such as river deltas and coastal areas where the combination of land subsidence and sea level rise increases the flooding risk. For this reason, the monitoring of ground deformations is a crucial step to obtain important information for the development of risk mitigation strategies. In the presented papers, the characteristics of land subsidence occurring in different study areas are described, and recent developments in the used methodologies for the monitoring of the ground displacements are discussed and validated also by means of ground-based data. Moreover, advantages and disadvantages of the adopted techniques are highlighted. The outcomes of these research works can provide national and local authorities with useful information for the implementation of integrated monitoring systems in the areas most affected by land subsidence.

The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences.

    Description: Les femmes brésiliennes ont obtenu le droit de vote dès 1932, mais leur accession à une citoyenneté pleine et entière, leur affirmation dans l’espace politique et la conquête de droits équivalents à ceux des hommes ont été nettement plus tardives dans le XXe siècle. Sur la base de nombreuses archives et d’entretiens menés sur le terrain, ce livre retrace l’histoire d’une génération de militantes qui, entre le lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et le début des années 1960, s’engagèrent au sein du Parti communiste brésilien afin de faire valoir la cause des femmes. Si aucune avancée significative ne caractérise cette quinzaine d’années sur le plan légal ou juridique, cette séquence n’en constitue pas moins un moment matriciel dans l’histoire du féminisme brésilien et dans le processus au long cours de politisation de femmes désireuses de s’émanciper des assignations – celle de mère en particulier – auxquelles les renvoyait la société.
