Full textAbstract:
France is one of the rare countries which implements the fundamental mechanism for improving legislation on Bioethics. Since 1994, every five years bioethics laws are revised in order to follow medical advances (medicine), authorize new practices and impose restrictions, expressly in order to guarantee the fundamental principles laid down by the Law N94-653 of 29 July 1994 (dignity, primacy of the human person, inviolability, integrity and non-ownership of the human body and its elements). Medically assisted procreation (ART) is one of the fields under regular review. This article outlines the French law on ART and surrogacy. In spite of the fact that surrogacy is prohibited in France, the infertile couples seek surrogacy outside of the country. Over the last few years, under pressure from the ECHR and expressly to protect child interests, the French relaxed their position in order to recognize the affiliation of children born from surrogacy. The current revision of bioethical laws aims, among other things, to open up access to ART for all women (including single women and lesbian couples) and to simplify the recognition in France of the affiliation of children born by surrogacy abroad.

The French celebration of the centenary of Victor Hugo's death in 1985 included new editions of his works, biographies, an exhibit at the Grand Palais in Paris, all that you would expect in honor of his life and art. But Hugo's death and funeral also drew the attention of some scholars, and forgood reason. Beginning on 18 May 1885, when what proved to be his final illness was announced, the newspapers were filled with reports and rumors about Hugo's condition. Following his death on 22 May journalists concentrated on what has been called the funeral of the century. Two million peoplecame to see Hugo's body lying in state at the Arc de Triomphe, and anenormous crowd viewed the procession to the Panthe on where he was buried.

Full textAbstract:
In 1908, shortly after giving birth to her first son, Cécile Sauvage, a young poet from rural south-eastern France, grieves the alteration of physical, emotional, and spiritual intimacy with her newborn son. Sauvage engenders her coming of age as a mother in twenty poems, which together comprise L’Âme en bourgeon (“The Soul in Bud”) forming the latter part of her first 1910 collection Tandis que la terre tourne (“As the Earth Spins”).Through the poetic figuration of her conflicting joys and melancholies with maternal status, Sauvage’s works reflect an oscillation between her embodiment of and detachment from the natural environment. While pregnancy manifests the closest and most fulfilling relationship possible for Sauvage, childbirth signifies a distancing of the relationship with her son, herself, and the natural world. She shifts between embracing and subverting the romanticization of motherhood through natural imagery to de-romanticize the reckoning bound up with the decentering of self intrinsic to motherhood. Her poems serve not only to foreground the subjects of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood in an art form that about these experiences, but functions, moreover, to complicate facile notions of maternal agency, eroticism, and death.

The Gallica programme of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and the Digital Library of the Institut national d’histoire de l’art (INHA), are two major French initiatives in the digitisation of art history information. Gallica was launched in 1995 and by the end of 2007 incorporated some 80,000 images and 90,000 texts. Essentially encyclopaedic in content, it nevertheless contains much material relevant to art, including iconographic documents from the library’s specialist departments. Mass digitisation of some 100,000 works per annum from 2007 onwards will add a substantial body of texts and periodicals in this subject. INHA’s digitisation programme for its Digital Library began in 2002: the two main areas it is currently concentrating on are a corpus of ‘classics of art history’, and the digitisation of specialised and rare documents such as the pre-1920 catalogues of the Louvre. 200,000 images are already available on line.

Full textAbstract:
The origin of things has always captivated people; for painting, there are several myths to illustrate it. In western, Pliny the Elder contributed one of the most antiquity stories in his Natural History; from 1770 to 1820, particularly in Britain and France, there are an increasing number of works based on this story, the majority of which are composed of the same elements: classical environment, two lovers, as well as shadow. Considering Joseph Benoit Suvée's the Invention of the Art of Painting in 1791 as a starting place, this paper intends to challenge Plato's reasonable rejection of shadows while, in the process, analyzing Hans Belting's theory of image anthropology, the present essay focuses on two key concepts of the shadow with the truth. Thus, Pliny argued that shadows may be genuine, whereas Plato held that they could be dangerously deceptive.

Full textAbstract:
The Mid-Upper Paleolithic (Gravettian) karstic Grotte de Cussac (France) contains two areas of human remains in the context of abundant (and spectacular) parietal engravings. The first area (loci 1 and 2) includes the skeleton of a young adult male in a bear nest, rearranged by postdecomposition inundation, and the variably fragmentary remains of at least two individuals distributed across two bear nests, sorted anatomically and with most of the elements constrained to one side of one nest. The second area (locus 3) retains remains of two adults and an adolescent, in upper hollows and variably distributed down the slope, largely segregated into upper versus lower body groups. The only decoration associated with the human remains is red pigment on some of the bones or underlying sediment. The human remains indicate variable nonnatural deposition and manipulation of human bodies, body portions, and skeletal elements of at least six individuals. Moreover, Cussac is unusual in the association of these remains with exceptional parietal art. The complex Cussac mortuary pattern joins growing evidence from other Gravettian sites of variable treatment of individuals after death, within and across sites, in terms of formal deposition of the body versus postmortem manipulation versus surface abandonment. It provides a window onto the social diversity and the complex interactions of the living and the dead among these successful Late Pleistocene foragers.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores art cinema's association of long, straight, shimmering hair with an idealized white, secular, agentic version of girlhood in Deniz Ergüven's Mustang (2015). With reference to girlhood studies and current debates in France about the politics of hair concealment and display, the essay argues for the central role played by the ‘politics of hair’ in thinking through the complex role of women and girls in a postsecular world. The girl's material body, and especially her hair, is made to support a binary approach toward questions of religion and modernity, rendering her the prime figure through which the relation between Islam and the West, tradition and modernity, patriarchy and feminism is articulated.

Full textAbstract:
In light of new historical evidence regarding ethnomycologist R. Gordon Wasson’s correspondence with art historian Erwin Panofsky, this article provides an in-depth analysis of the presence of entheogenic mushroom images in Christian art within the context of the controversy between Wasson and philologist John Marco Allegro over the identification of a Garden of Eden fresco in the 12th century Chapel of Plaincourault in France. It reveals a compelling financial motive for Wasson’s refusal to acknowledge that this fresco represents Amanita muscaria, as well as for Wasson’s reluctance to pursue his hypothesis regarding the entheogenic origins of religion into Christian art and artifacts. While Wasson’s view – that the presence of psychoactive mushrooms in the Near and Middle East ended around 1000 BCE – prevailed and stymied research on entheogens in Christianity for decades, a new generation of 21st century researchers has documented growing evidence of A. muscaria and psilocybin-containing mushrooms in Christian art, consistent with ethnobotanist Giorgio Samorini’s typology of mushroom trees. This article presents original photographs, taken during fieldwork at churches and cathedrals throughout Europe and the Middle East, that confirm the presence of entheogenic mushrooms in Christian art: in frescoes, illuminated manuscripts, mosaics, sculptures, and stained glass windows. Based on this iconic evidence, the article proposes a psychedelic gospels theory and addresses critiques of this theory by art historians, ardent advocates, medieval historians, and conservative Catholics. It calls for the establishment of an Interdisciplinary Committee on the Psychedelic Gospels to independently evaluate the growing body of evidence of entheogenic mushrooms in Christian art in order to resolve a controversial question regarding the possible role of entheogens in the history and origins of Christianity.

Full textAbstract:
Art HistoryPh.D.
This dissertation focuses primarily on the Impressionist artist Gustave Caillebotte's paintings of rowers on the Yerres River outside Paris, created in the late 1870s. The works engage with many of the radical shifts in social and cultural norms that took place during the latter half of the nineteenth-century as industrialization and urbanization increasingly affected daily life in Europe and America. The paintings are in dialogue with developments in the fine arts, including the growing influence of Impressionism and avant-garde artists, and deal extensively with the male figure, reacting to and engaging with changing norms of masculinity. To fully examine the works, I focus on five areas of comparison. First, in considering the possible implications of changing masculine ideals in relation to the physical body during the period, I consider Caillebotte's controversial nude male bathers. I then contrast Caillebotte's oarsmen with both the professional rowers portrayed by his American contemporary Thomas Eakins, and the more leisurely boating scenes of his fellow Impressionists. Finally, I examine the history of the dandy/flâneurs figure, arguing that Caillebotte's rowers illustrate the artist's attempt to reinvent and modernize the concept. My thesis attempts to bridge different methodological approaches that have tended to isolate aspects of the artist's work, thereby obscuring his overall project of engaging with both the social and theoretical concept of modernity. Although the artist is underrepresented in the general literature of Impressionism, he has lately played a significant role in texts examining Impressionist interest in the suburban vacation spots along the Seine River. Such authors have illuminated Caillebotte's background as a serious sportsman, an aspect of the artist previously underexplored. I also build on feminist and queer theorists, who in recent years have called attention to the potential for sexual subversity within Caillebotte's oeuvre. Although acknowledging a debt to all of these scholars, my dissertation is an attempt to expand the scholarly conversation by examining how these works explore the concept of modernity, both formally, in the manner in which Caillebotte calls attention to the artifice of painting and socially, in how he engages with the changing physical landscape and the increasing potential for leisure activities outside Paris following the Franco-Prussian War. Finally, in arguing that Caillebotte rowers are transported flâneurs, who, though now engaged in daytime paddling rather than evening strolling, continue their mission of anonymity and observation, I suggest an expansion of the very definition of flâneurs, and by extension, the dandy figure that remains relevant as a type even today.

Dans le contexte de globalisation, le hip-hop, le body system et la glisse urbaine se sont épanouis dans le monde entier. Ces cultures urbaines sportives et artistiques d'origine états-unienne ont transformé les paysages et les organisations spatiales de multiples entités urbaines. A travers ces phénomènes transparaît le renforcement de la mondialisation, de la capitalisation, de l'urbanité, de l'occidentalisation et de la domination planétaire des États-Unis. La problématique de ce travail de recherche repose sur le développement de ces cultures aux États-Unis, mais également sur leur diffusion et leurs territoires dans l'agglomération de Fort-de-France. Plusieurs méthodes de la géographie et d'autres domaines scientifiques ont été utilisées pour élaborer cette thèse qui présente un caractère multidisciplinaire. Cette investigation permet de mesurer les impacts et les limites de l'américanisation culturelle dans un espace insulaire caribéen davantage orienté vers l'EuropeLn the context of the globalization, the hip-hop, body system and city skating cultures have developed ail over the world. These sports and artistic urban cultures born in the United States of America transformed the landscapes and the spatial organization of many urban areas. Through these phenomena, we can detect the growth of globalisation, capitalisation, urbanity, westernisation and the world-wide domination of the United-States. The issue underlying this research is based on the development of these cultures in the United States of America, but also on their spread and their territories in Fort-de-France and its suburbs. Several methods of contemporary geography and others scientific fields have been used to develop this thesis, which is a multidisciplinary. This investigation shows the impact and limit of a cultural americanisation on a Caribbean island more turned towards Europe

Full textAbstract:
Un pan représentatif de la scène performative contemporain, en France, comme en Angleterre, se distingue par un intérêt commun pour la question du corps quotidien. Faisant fi des principes de représentation, de logique narrative ou de personnage, les praticiens d’aujourd’hui investissent des corporéités ordinaires et faillibles produisant des état de présence diffractés ainsi qu’un régime de spectateur fondé sur la reconnaissance d’une commune incompétence. Au moyen de temporalités scéniques suspendues, d’un ralentissement du mouvement et d’une inflexion des logiques de représentation et de perception, ils modélisent des outils de résistance à l’encontre des dynamiques accélérées d’une production intensifiée imposées par les institutions et l’économie culturelles. Renonçant à la séduction du spectaculaire et au fétiche de la technique, ils décident de produire moins. Inventant de nouvelles modalités d’un travail solidaire (collaborations éphémères, rencontres nouées selon une logique de projet, micro-communautés), ils dessinent, sur le plateau, un espace d’entente qui puisse reposer sur une égalité de condition entre performers et spectateurs. Loin de s’inscrire dans un geste de rupture ou de souscrire à un quelconque idéal utopiste, les artistes de la scène performative contemporaine actualisent une praxis critique de la scène qui tâche de créer, dans le temps de l’événement théâtral, une nouvelle façon d’être ensembleThe contemporary performance scene, in both France and England, can be distinguished by a common interest in the ‘everyday body.’ Discarding principles of representation, narrative logic, and characterisation, many of today’s practitioners choose instead to reflect a deliberately fallible and ordinary sense of their own corporality. This results in a notion of presence in which the presented body can somehow disappear and where a certain complicity with the audience is founded on a sense of common incompetence. The use of real time (as opposed to theatrical time) the restriction of movement, and a questioning and dismantling of the traditional ideas of theatrical presentation and reception, all form ways of resisting the accelerated and intensified production cycle imposed by the cultural economy in which the work is produced. Refusing to be seduced by notions of grand spectacle or perfect technique, these performers produce less within their performance and therefore embrace an “anti-productive” creative pattern. At the same time, inventing new ways of working together (ephemeral collaborations, meetings happening upon a project-based logic, micro-communities), they create, in the theatre, a democratic space based on an equality of status between performers and spectators. Without seeking revolution or utopia, they enable a critical investigation of the theatrical space that can, for the duration of an event, create new ways for all those present to experience being together within that space

Full textAbstract:
A quelle(s) logique(s) répondent les dispositifs de création réalisés par Antonin Artaud et David Nebreda ? Quel statut attribuer à leurs « œuvres », si tant est que l’on puisse accoler cette appellation à leurs travaux ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous mènerons une réflexion d’ordre esthétique et nous nous interrogerons parallèlement sur la spécificité du processus de création dans la psychose. Nous étudierons les productions d’Artaud et de Nebreda sous l’angle de la mise en scène et de la performativité. Nous mettrons également en lumière l’abolition de la représentation, l’effondrement de la scène et les limites du jeu / je. Nous montrerons ainsi la prédominance des registres Réel et Imaginaire conçus par Jacques Lacan. Chez ces « artistes » transgressant les frontières des genres et de l’art, les manifestations incontrôlées du corps et les conflits intrapsychiques donnent lieu à des recréations simultanées du monde et du langage, qui, en même temps qu’elles s’apparentent au déroulement d’une cérémonie de mise à mort, tracent des signes inédits, forment d’étranges parcours et s’orientent vers l’horizon d’une nouvelle naissanceWhich logic is guiding the multimodal creations proposed by Antonin Artaud and David Nebreda ? What kind of status can be applied to their “(art)works” ? In order to answer these questions, we will lead an esthetical research and study concurrently the specificities of the creative process in psychosis. We will examine Artaud’s and Nebreda’s productions through the notions of setting and performativity. We will underline the abolition of representation and the crumbling of the stage as well as the limits of play / subjectivity. We will show the predominance of the Real and Imaginary registers as they have been conceived by JacquesLacan. By Artaud and Nebreda, the uncontrolled corporal manifestations and the intra-psychicconflicts generate simultaneous recreations of the body and language as, in the same time, they achieve a sort of sort killing ceremony, tracing unseen signs, outlining strange trails and pointing toward the horizon of a new birth

Garnier, Emeline. "Le crime pour survivre aux hallucinations sensorielles : déploiement de l'hallucinatoire dans un groupe à médiation "corps et peinture" en milieu carcéral." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015LYO20136.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse propose de discuter la conception du crime comme un acte de survie face à la résurgence d’hallucinations sensorielles. Les sujets criminels témoignent du sentiment d’être dépossédés de leur corps, de ne plus contrôler leurs actes, décrivent des vécus de pénétration, d’explosion, de mutilation, de démantèlement : une menace terrifiante s’incarne par la dégénérescence de la sensorialité. L’hallucination ne parvient pas ici à se formaliser et emprunte directement la voie du corps. Le sujet a alors recours à l’acte pour externaliser ces vécus sensoriels persécuteurs, enkystés dans un morceau de corps, et pour tenter de trouver une amorce de symbolisation primaire. Au cours de la prise en charge individuelle ou groupale de ces patients, il s’agit donc d’écouter les manifestations hallucinatoires qui tendent à se loger dans leurs corps, pour qu’adviennent leurs mises en sens, au sein des enjeux transféro-contre-transférentiels. La thèse analyse ainsi l’aménagement d’un dispositif thérapeutique, créé pour permettre une appropriation subjective des terreurs qui ont contraint ces sujets à se placer comme hors de la scène du crime. Dans le cadre d’une pratique thérapeutique en centre de détention, un groupe à médiation corporelle et picturale est proposé aux patients incarcérés, afin de privilégier l’expression du langage sensori-moteur. La médiation corporelle fonctionne comme un attracteur des vécus catastrophiques sous-jacents aux hallucinations sensorielles, et leur partage sensori-affectivo-moteur permet l’apparition d’une scène psychique groupale. Par la mise en mouvement du corps du sujet en groupe, la sensori-motricité se trouve réunifiée aux autres modalités sensorielles. La médiation picturale s’offre alors comme un écran du rêve sur lequel sont projetés, puis représentés, les éprouvés corporels du sujet en groupe, et potentialise ainsi le déploiement de l’hallucinatoire oniriqueThis thesis discusses the concept of crime as an act of survival in the face of a resurgence of sensory hallucinations. Criminal subjects describe a feeling of being dispossessed of their bodies, of no longer having any control over their actions, of experiencing penetration, explosion, mutilation and dismantling : a terrifying threat made real by the degeneration of the senses. In such cases, the hallucination fails to take form and uses the body directly. The subject then resorts to the act in order to externalise these tormenting sensory experiences, encysted in part of the body, and try to trigger primary symbolisation. In individual or group therapy sessions with these patients, the aim is therefore to listen to the hallucinatory manifestations embedded in the body, so that their meaning can emerge through transference and countertransference. Hence, we analyse a therapeutic solution created to enable the subjective appropriation of the terrors that led these subjects to situate themselves outside the crime scene. As part of therapeutic work in a detention centre, patients are invited to take part in a corporal and pictorial mediation group to encourage the expression of sensori-motor language. Corporal mediation acts as a magnet for catastrophic experiences underlying sensory hallucinations, and sharing them in a sensory-affective-motor manner enables the appearance of a group psychological scene. Through movement of the subject's body within the group, sensori-motricity is reunited with the other sensory forms. Pictorial mediation then acts as a dream screen onto which are projected, then represented, the subject's corporal experiences within the group, thereby rendering dreamlike hallucination possible

Full textAbstract:
La thèse porte sur le quotidien des personnes âgées soignées à l’hôpital gériatrique Bretonneau, établissement spécialisé de l’AP-HP situé dans le 18ème arrondissement de Paris. Elle a pour objet d’étudier certains modes de prise en charge de ces malades en perte d’autonomie dits « dépendants » ou « déments », en privilégiant les approches non médicamenteuses novatrices (art-thérapie, socio-esthétique, psychomotricité). L’enquête de terrain, effectuée entre 2008 et 2010, s’est appuyée sur la méthode du film d’exploration, faisant de la caméra le principal instrument de la recherche. Il en résulte trois films documentaires : Hôpital de Jour (117 min.), Court Séjour (67 min.) et Long Séjour (120 min.). Tout en éclairant par petites touches le fonctionnement général de l’institution, ces films décrivent la vie quotidienne de quelques malades et font des pensionnaires de Bretonneau les personnages centraux de la représentation cinématographique. Une partie écrite analyse les stratégies et les résultats de l’enquête de terrain. Elle met l’accent sur les enjeux éthiques soulevés par la présence de l’observateur-filmeur dans un milieu particulièrement sensible et auprès de sujets très vulnérables. Les analyses détaillées portent sur les trois fils conducteurs principaux de la description filmique : les configurations de l’espace et de l’environnement matériel, les techniques corporelles appliquées à la perte d’autonomie, les rituels d’interaction soignants-soignésThis thesis deals with the daily life of the elderly who are patients at the Bretonneau Geriatric hospital, in Paris 18th arrondissement. It studies how these dependent or mentally-ill elders are cared for, focusing on innovative drug-free therapies (art therapy, esthetic therapy, psychomotricity).The field survey took place between 2008 and 2010 and used the method of exploratory filming, making the camera the main tool for the research. Three documentary films were made : Day Hospital (117 min), Short Stay (67 min) and Long Stay (120 min). While shedding some light on the way the institution works, these documentaries show the everyday life of a few patients and make them the main characters of the films. The written part analyses the strategy and the results of the field survey. It stresses the ethical issues raised by the presence of the filmmaker-observer in a highly sensitive environment and with very vulnerable subjects. The detailed analyses deal with the three main themes of the films : configuration of space and of material environment, physical techniques helping with loss of autonomy, interaction rituals between caregivers and patients

Full textAbstract:
This chapter aims to uncover possible motives of the French electorate to support the right-wing populist Rassemblement National (National Rally) in the 2019 elections to the European Parliament analysing public discourse on Twitter with a view to identity construction and recontextualisation. Assuming that supporters respond differently to long-time party leader Marine Le Pen than to “France’s far-right boy wonder” (Momtaz 2019) Jordan Bardella, the lead candidate in the 2019 European elections, the qualitative analysis examines the extent to which populist supporters adapt their line of argumentation to the respective political champion based on 801 tweets that were published on Marine Le Pen’s and Jordan Bardella’s official Twitter accounts. The results for France show that even though Marine Le Pen has turned the formerly right-extremist Front National into a “modern” populist party that is also appealing to a broader electorate, the basic premisses of far-right ideology stay the same for both, populist leaders as well as supporters: There is a difference between the French and others, and the French people need to come first. What is most striking in terms of identity construction and recontextualisation is the fact that populist argumentation and rhetoric are taken up by supporters in such a way that they are no longer seen as belonging to far-right ideology, but are recontextualised as common sense.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the national character in Jules Michelet. Michelet supports an essentialist version of the character. According him, it is caused by natural elements: geography, food and the various regions that make up France. These elements are spiritualized over time: it is the history that gave rise to the character of the French. The result is the complete fusion of all differences in a nation-individual: a generous person towards humanity. The French character is contrasted with the English character: selfish, greedy, all devoted to work and earnings. It is precisely because of their different characters that France has given the world the Revolution and England the Industrial Revolution, a phenomenon that mechanizes work, that destroys the body and soul of the workers.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractOver the past three decades, a silent revolution in funerary practices and cemetery design known as the ‘natural burial movement’ has swept over various national contexts and created a transnational narrative that is embedded in local funerary cultures. Seeking out environmentally-friendly burial alternatives, new cemetery and commemoration concepts take into account the urban lack of space and changing family structures and combine these with a desire for autonomy from economically and ecologically costly burial practices. A salient feature of these new burial sites are their naturalistic design and enchanting appeal. Presenting ethnographic research at France’s first natural cemetery« Cimetière naturel de Souché », which opened in 2014, this chapter examines and reflects on the changes in material as well as immaterial funeral settings within a contemporary European context. The research reveals insights into a heterogenous set of values concerning human body disposal, nature and culture, gift giving and reciprocity, and purity and respect. The main objectives of the cemetery officials originally were geared towards the creation of a place as close to nature’s makeup as possible, a reduction of the ecological footprint of burials, and cost decrease. The most significant aspects for the bereaved and other visitors are, however, an appeal beyond economic and ecologic objectives. Spiritualities, therapeutic death contemplation, and continuous kin care point to an enduring enchantment: meditations veiled in a green hue.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates how multimodal cues are used for rapport management in refusals in the context of English as a lingua franca (ELF). Ten Chinese and ten Indonesian speakers were put in pairs and conducted role-plays in relation to requests and refusals. After the role-plays, they had immediate interviews to reflect on their own and their partners’ performance. The results suggest that body positions (standing/sitting), smiling voices and smiling facial expressions, and the long gaze aversion are used by ELF refusers to maintain rapport: controlling power relationships, mitigating the force of refusals, and conveying a non-engagement stance. The results show that mitigation in the ELF context is a multimodal achievement which can be intentionally realized through various multimodal cues.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSkinner explores the neglected role of breath in the mapping and understanding of eighteenth-century sensibility. Thematically rich in their associations with body and spirit, life and death, breath and breathlessness are also woven into the stylistic particularities of both sentimental and epistolary fiction. Examination of the epistolarity of Evelina, and the dramatic use of dialogue Burney became known for, reveals breathlessness as the signifier of intense and instinctive moral discernment of the kind described by eighteenth-century philosophers such as Frances Hutcheson, complicating the view that the heroine of epistolary fiction more generally, and Evelina in particular, is purely passive. Instead, she emerges as actively involved in numerous scenarios that at once challenge her capacity for moral conduct and allow her to demonstrate her power to act.

Full textAbstract:
In late eighteenth-century France, at the seeming height of neoclassicism in the arts with its goal of idealized form al’antica in the depiction of the human figure, an intensified fascination with the visual experience of viscera emerged. Picturing viscera became increasingly common in visual culture. These developments occurred during a period of intense political and cultural upheaval and concomitant violence and bloodshed in France. Graphic anatomical plates, prints, and caricatures as well as wax models of viscera cast from the body parts of corpses, were used for pedagogical instruction as were écorché figures, either sculpted or cast from cadavers. Paintings were made that engaged the subject of death and disembowelment. We also see the actual participation in dissection by artists as well as anatomists. Artists, anatomists, and amateurs (sometimes working in concert) produced compelling images of what lies beneath the skin for a variety of purposes and functions.

Full textAbstract:
Pierre-Olaf Schut analyses representations of mountain climbing in 18th- and 19th-century French literature, and how they influence both the development of mountaineering and written depictions of this activity. Although scholars examining the history of mountaineering often use Romanticism to explain the early attraction of mountains, few have provided in-depth studies of texts written by prominent French-speaking writers on this subject. Schut carries out such a study, reassembling representations of high mountains as they were described by French and Swiss Romantic writers at the end of the 18th century and throughout the 19th century. The first body of texts he addresses includes selections by Romantic writers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Alexandre Dumas and Victor Hugo. Through their novels and travel stories—most notably in Chamonix, at the foot of Mont-Blanc—he analyses the image of the mountains that they constructed and conveyed to their readers. Subsequently, to show the reception of this Romantic viewpoint and illustrate its influence on the development of physical practices and mountaineering in particular, Schut identifies such representations of mountains in the writing of mountaineers, turning to articles written by them for the French Alpine Club magazine, which has been published since 1874.

Full textAbstract:
A phenomenological reading of the body in Beckett – which explores connections between linguistic signification, innovation and bodily orientation – can be applied to other writers, artists and movements. The book’s conclusion suggests ways in which embodied agency reveals itself in late modernism more generally, a period that coincides with a postwar critique of humanism in France and a resurgence of interest in the body and place. The conclusion also includes sections on installation art involving earth-bound bodies, particularly the site-specific work of Giuseppe Penone and Ana Mendieta, to demonstrate how radical enactments of these themes range beyond experimental literature.

Full textAbstract:
The word eugenics was coined in 1883 by the English scientist Francis Galton, who took the word from a Greek root meaning “good in birth” or “noble in heredity”. Eugenics aimed to assist states in implementing negative or positive policies which would improve the quality of the national breed. The intensive applications of eugenic policies coincide between two World Wars. İn the decades between 1905 and 1945, eugenics politics implemented in more than thirty countries.
The method of this study is based on a literature survey on the sources of the eugenic subject. The sources of the data are documents such as books, articles, journals, theses, projects, research reports about the politics and legal regulations of the countries on the family, population, sport, health and body. This study comparatively examines eugenic policy-making in Turkey and in Western countries: Britain, United States, France, Germany (1905-1945).
This study aims to discuss the relation of eugenic politics in countries with nation building process, ethnic nationalism, and racism. This is a basic claim that the eugenic practices in Turkey contain more positive measures and that there is no racial-ethnic content of eugenics in Turkey.

Full textAbstract:
Communication Action Zones in Art and Technology, in portuguese Zonas de Ações Comunicacionais em Arte e Tecnologia – ZACAT – is a master's research developed in Brazil, made before and during the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic, which causes the New Coronavirus disease. This artistic and academic work includes a set of sound and visual poetics based on an investigation of artistic communicational practices of an activist character, with the mediation of several questions about the current Brazilian history. Firstly, through diversified strategies and proposals for different interlocutors, with experiments in 2019, in different spaces in the city of Santa Maria, state of Rio Grande do Sul - streets, museums, art galleries, university, school, social networks, radio wave space. Subsequently, as a result of the world scenario presented from 2020, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the poetic undergoes significant transformations. In addition to the artistic and communicational strategies undergoing changes in approach, the Santa Maria space moves to that of the Clube Naturista Colina do Sol (CNCS), a naturist community located in the municipality of Taquara, also in Rio Grande do Sul. Not urbanized and immersed with the wild environment the least interfered by human action, which provides other forms of listening and connection, in addition to the relationship with the body, communication and technology, such as the use of online virtual reality platforms to share the work carried out. To approach the construction of this research, studies on methodology by the researcher and artist Sandra Rey (1953) are used. As a theoretical foundation, reference is made to the idea of micropolitics, a concept that refers to philosophers Michel Foucault (1926-1984) and Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) and to art critic Suely Rolnik (1948). Activist artistic practices are based on the experiences of Brazilian collectives from the 1990’s to the present, as seen under the historiography of Art Activism from the 1950’s, with Italian autonomist philosophers such as Giorgio Agamben (1942) and Franco Berardi (1949). To support the notion of Art and Communication, authors such as Mario Costa (1936), Fred Forest (1933), Mônica Tavares, Priscila Arantes, Christine Mello and Giselle Beiguelman are based on. The concept of device emerges from theoretical research and mediates artistic practices, having as reference Agamben, Foucault, Vilém Flusser (1920-1991) and Gilbert Simondon (1924-1989). From performances, through installations, through audio, video and face-to-face interactivity experiments or via virtual networks, this research seeks to give visibility to everyday micropolitics, with their memories, affections, formalized or ephemeral life impulses in moments of encounters. And how the artistic works can unfold in different contexts, in front of different audiences and under challenging conditions in terms of a larger historical context.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Phytochemical analysis aims to know the secondary metabolites. According to Simões et. al. (2010), metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that are continuously occurring in each cell, being divided into primary and secondary. Beings and general m have primary metabolism (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids). Plants, micro-organisms and a few animals also have secondary metabolism (whose products, although not necessarily essential for the producing organism, guarantee advantages for their survival and the perpetuation of their species, in its ecosystem). Such metabolites can trigger reactions in the body, which according to dosage can be toxic or beneficial, which is why there is interest in the study of plant extracts (FRANCO et al., 2021).

Full textAbstract:
One of design criteria that have been used for the mooring system design for floating platforms in the oil and gas industry is the Ultimate Limit State (ULS). The 100-year level response in the mooring line should be applied for this ULS design check, which is ideally estimated by taking into account the dynamic mooring line tension in all sea state available in the operational site. This is called a full long-term response analysis using the all sea state approach. However, this approach is time consuming. Therefore, it is proposed to use the contour line method to estimate the 100-year response by primarily studying the short term response for the most unfavorable sea states along the 100-year environmental contour line. Experiences in the oil and gas industry confirmed that the method could give good prediction if the response at higher percentile than the median is used. In this paper, the mooring system of a two-body wave energy converter (WEC) is considered. Since this system involves interaction between two bodies, the estimation of the ULS level response by using the all sea state approach will be even more time consuming. Therefore, the application of the contour line method for this case will certainly be beneficial. However, its feasibility for a WEC case needs to be documented first. In the present paper, the ULS level response in the mooring tension that is predicted by the contour line method is compared with that estimated by taking into account all sea states. It is achieved by performing the coupled time domain mooring analyses using SIMO/Riflex for six cases with different mooring configurations and connections between two bodies. An axi-symmetric Wavebob-type WEC is chosen as the object of investigation and the Yeu site in France is assumed to be the operational site of the WEC. Hydrodynamic loads including 2nd order forces are determined using WAMIT. Finally, the applicability of the contour line method to predict the ULS level mooring tension for a two-body WEC is assessed and shown to yield accurate results with proper choice of percentile level for the extreme response.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract At off-design operations, flow instabilities such as vortex breakdown, reverse flows, and stagnant regions are observed in Francis turbines. The present work shows the numerical flow field investigations of a Francis turbine at two different part loads (PL) by employing a vortex identification algorithm. The analysis has been performed at various locations in the draft tube by extracting the velocity fields at different time steps of the simulation. The first operating point involves a fully developed rotating vortex rope (RVR) in the draft tube, which precesses at a frequency of 0.28 times of the runner rotation. The present algorithm is able to identify the regions along with the eccentric local rotation center. The second operating regime shows characteristics of deep part load with central solid body rotation in the draft tube flow field. The results show highly swirling flows with very low axial velocity. The flow is confined primarily near the walls. The analysis shows that the extent of stagnation region at deep part load is more and no inner shear layer is present as compared to the part-load operation. The spatial harmonic decomposition (SHD) of the pressure data is also performed to evaluate the synchronous and asynchronous components of pressure pulsations.

Full textAbstract:
The acceptance test of Korean TGV imported from France has been performed in Korea. During the test, it was found that lateral vibration of car body was over the acceptable value at the tail of the train at low winter temperature. Many researches have been performed to find the cause of the vibration and its counter-measure. One of the differences between Korean TGV and French TGV is the train set formation. French TGV is operated with 10 car train set formation or two 10 car train set linked by a automatic coupler, whereas Korean TGV has 20 car formation, which are linked by articulate bogies. The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of long train set formation on vehicle dynamics as well as the train stability using vehicle model with 16 cars and 20 cars. Firstly, the reliable vehicle model which shows well the tendencies appeared in the tests with a 16 car train set on the high speed test line is required to find the cause of lateral vibration and its countermeasure. The vehicle model was made for the analysis using multibody dynamic software, VAMPIRE. The analysis results show that the secondary air spring lateral stiffness is the most influential factor to car body lateral vibration. The mode analysis results show that the least damped mode shape is similar to the vibration pattern shown in the tests that the amplitude of the motion increases along the train set and decreases in the tail part. Nonlinear transient analysis shows the similar vibration pattern along the train. The lateral vibration appeared at the speed range between 100km/h and 200km/h and disappeared at low and high speed. The mode analysis result showed that when wheel conicity increased, unstable vibration mode disappeared. And it was verified through a test that when XP55 wheels with higher conicity than GV40 that had been applied to TGV were applied to articulated bogies, lateral vibration of the last trailer car showed stable within the recommended value of acceleration regardless of outside temperature.

Parkour is a discipline of movement and the skill of efficient movement from one place to another, in which a person chooses his own path. During movement in the most varied conditions traceur encounters natural or urban obstacles that he overcomes as quickly and efficiently as possible using his own body. The movie Yamakasi was the inspiration for many to train this skill around the world. Bogdan Cvetković is considered the founder of parkour in Serbia. In 2004, he founded a parkour forum through which "traceurs" from cities all over Serbia communicated. In the same year, the first gathering was held in Čačak. The first workshop of this kind in Serbia was held in 2006 in Kraljevo. The officially legally established parkour association was formed in 2007 in Kraljevo under the name Parkour 4 all. The turning point in the further development of parkour in Serbia was in 2008, when the founder of world parkour, David Bell, visited Serbia. International cooperation began in 2008, first with Germany, then France, Great Britain, Switzerland, and Italy, and cooperation expanded even to Qatar and Taiwan. Since 2009, regular outdoor and indoor trainings have been organized in the hall of the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education, University of Belgrade. It continues with courses, camps for adults and children, birthdays and team building. The first appearance in media in Serbia was recorded in the year 2003. The filming of commercials with the theme of parkour began in 2008 (ParkourSrbija, 2008), while the reportage about this activity in the program "Sasvim prirodno" (RTS Sasvim prirodno - Zvanični kanal, 2017) had the greatest impact. Although terrain movements have been performed since the appearance of the subject of the outdoor activities, from 2021, in the field teaching of the subject, parkour begins to be studied under its original name. Today, there are about 150 active traceurs in Serbia.

Full textAbstract:
The problems of happiness in the theological and philosophical heritage of the outstanding medieval scientist St. Thomas Aquinas are considered. The main source and basis of happiness according to Thomism is the Lord God himself. Happiness cannot be fully comprehended in the material world, in wealth, in intellectual knowledge. Human happiness does not consist in honors, in human glory, strength, goodness and pleasures of the body. Happiness is realized in human virtue. Happiness does not consist in human feelings, but it is revealed in thoughts about God. Man will experience perfect happiness in another supernatural world through contemplation of God, who is the highest good and truth. The teachings of the Catholic Church on the understanding of happiness are analyzed. Attention is drawn to the Message of Pope Francis on the occasion of World Youth Day in 2015. It is pointed out that God himself placed “in the heart of every man an unbridled desire for happiness and fullness”. Ten key topics that guide a person to achieve true supernatural, eternal happiness are considered. Ways to live in happiness through a state of joy, love, friendship, humor, gratitude, the ability to forgive and ask for forgiveness are offered. In trying to achieve a happy state, it is important to rely on God in everything, as well as to realize that we are loved. KEYWORDS: Toma Aquinsky, happiness, knowledge, will, love, goodness, joy.

Full textAbstract:
At some sites with high tidal stream velocities there is an appreciable change in flow direction (‘swing’) away from 180 degrees between the two maxima of flow speed. In order to assess the performance of horizontal axis marine current turbines in non rectilinear currents, measurements of a model rotor have been made in a towing tank. Curve fits have been calculated as a function of the cosine of the yaw angle squared and the thrust as cosine of the yaw angle. The curve fits have been used in a case study to investigate the impact of fixed-orientation or yawing rotor designs on average annual energy output, at three locations in the English Channel. All three sites are of the type where flow is accelerated around a headland or cape, but their tidal streams vary in deviation from rectilinearity. For two of the sites — Portland Bill (Dorset, UK), Race of Alderney (Alderney, Channel Islands/Normandy, France) and St. Catherine’s Point (Isle of Wight, UK) — available data consisted of tidal stream diamonds printed on Admiralty navigational charts. These rely on local tidal elevations for interpolation of tidal streams. At the other site — St. Catherine’s Point, Isle of Wight, Hampshire — current meter measurements of duration one month were available from the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) at the location of a tidal diamond, allowing a direct tidal analysis. For the three sites, the available data were analyzed into harmonic constituents and then extrapolated into the future. For each year’s worth of predictions, the cubed speeds as a function of time were sorted into bins to form a histogram. The annual power output for each design of turbine was then calculated using the known performance at each value of cubed speed. This process was repeated for each year over an 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle in order to ascertain the inter-annual variation in power output.

The International Health Regulations (2005) are legally binding on 196 States Parties, Including all WHO Member States. The IHR aims to keep the world informed about public health risks, through committing all signatories to cooperate together in combating any future “illness or medical condition, irrespective of origin or source, that presents or could present significant harm to humans.” Under IHR, states agreed to strengthen their public health capacities and notify the WHO of any such illness in their populations. The WHO would be the centralized body for all countries facing a health threat, with the power to declare a “public health emergency of international concern,” issue recommendations, and work with countries to tackle a crisis. Although, with the sudden and rapid spread of COVID-19 in the world, many countries varied in implementing the WHO guidelines and health recommendations. While some countries followed the WHO guidelines, others imposed travel restrictions against the WHO’s recommendations. Some states refused to share their data with the organization. Others banned the export of medical equipment, even in the face of global shortages. The UN Compliance Research group will focus during the current cycle on analyzing the compliance of the WHO member states to the organizations guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
This report is one of a series of reports documenting the methods and findings of a multi-year, multi-disciplinary project coordinated by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) and funded by the California Earthquake Authority (CEA). The overall project is titled “Quantifying the Performance of Retrofit of Cripple Walls and Sill Anchorage in Single-Family Wood-Frame Buildings,” henceforth referred to as the “PEER–CEA Project.” The overall objective of the PEER–CEA Project is to provide scientifically based information (e.g., testing, analysis, and resulting loss models) that measure and assess the effectiveness of seismic retrofit to reduce the risk of damage and associated losses (repair costs) of wood-frame houses with cripple wall and sill anchorage deficiencies as well as retrofitted conditions that address those deficiencies. Tasks that support and inform the loss-modeling effort are: (1) collecting and summarizing existing information and results of previous research on the performance of wood-frame houses; (2) identifying construction features to characterize alternative variants of wood-frame houses; (3) characterizing earthquake hazard and ground motions at representative sites in California; (4) developing cyclic loading protocols and conducting laboratory tests of cripple wall panels, wood-frame wall subassemblies, and sill anchorages to measure and document their response (strength and stiffness) under cyclic loading; and (5) the computer modeling, simulations, and the development of loss models as informed by a workshop with claims adjustors. This report is a product of Working Group 4 (WG4): Testing, whose central focus was to experimentally investigate the seismic performance of retrofit and existing cripple walls. Amongst the body of reports from WG4, in the present report, a suite of four small cripple wall test phases, in total 28 specimens, are cross compared with varied exterior finishes, namely stucco (wet) and non-stucco (dry) exterior finishes. Details representative of era specific construction, specifically the most vulnerable pre-1960s construction are of predominant focus in the present effort. Experiments involved imposition of combined vertical loading and quasi-static reversed cyclic lateral load onto cripple walls of 12 ft in length and 2 ft or 6 ft in height. All specimens in this report were constructed with the same boundary conditions and tested with the same vertical load. Parameters addressed in this report include: wet exterior finishes (stucco over framing, stucco over horizontal lumber sheathing, and stucco over diagonal lumber sheathing); and dry exterior finishes (horizontal siding, horizontal siding over diagonal sheathing, and T1-11 wood structural panels) with attention towards cripple wall height and the retrofit condition. The present report provides only a brief overview of the test program and setup; whereas a series of three prior reports present results of test groupings nominally by exterior finish type (wet versus dry). As such, herein the focus is to cross compare key measurements and observations of the in-plane seismic behavior of all 28 specimens.

Full textAbstract:
The research on thermotolerance acquisition in broiler chickens by temperature conditioning early in life was focused on the following objectives: a. To determine the optimal timing and temperature for inducing the thermotolerance, conditioning processes and to define its duration during the first week of life in the broiler chick. b. To investigate the response of skeletal muscle tissue and the gastrointestinal tract to thermal conditioning. This objective was added during the research, to understand the mechanisms related to compensatory growth. c. To evaluate the effect of early thermo conditioning on thermoregulation (heat production and heat dissipation) during 3 phases: (1) conditioning, (2) compensatory growth, (3) heat challenge. d. To investigate how induction of improved thermotolerance impacts on metabolic fuel and the hormones regulating growth and metabolism. Recent decades have seen significant development in the genetic selection of the meat-type fowl (i.e., broiler chickens); leading to rapid growth and increased feed efficiency, providing the poultry industry with heavy chickens in relatively short growth periods. Such development necessitates parallel increases in the size of visceral systems such as the cardiovascular and the respiratory ones. However, inferior development of such major systems has led to a relatively low capability to balance energy expenditure under extreme conditions. Thus, acute exposure of chickens to extreme conditions (i.e., heat spells) has resulted in major economic losses. Birds are homeotherms, and as such, they are able to maintain their body temperature within a narrow range. To sustain thermal tolerance and avoid the deleterious consequences of thermal stresses, a direct response is elicited: the rapid thermal shock response - thermal conditioning. This technique of temperature conditioning takes advantage of the immaturity of the temperature regulation mechanism in young chicks during their first week of life. Development of this mechanism involves sympathetic neural activity, integration of thermal infom1ation in the hypothalamus, and buildup of the body-to-brain temperature difference, so that the potential for thermotolerance can be incorporated into the developing thermoregulation mechanisms. Thermal conditioning is a unique management tool, which most likely involves hypothalamic them1oregulatory threshold changes that enable chickens, within certain limits, to cope with acute exposure to unexpected hot spells. Short-tem1 exposure to heat stress during the first week of life (37.5+1°C; 70-80% rh; for 24 h at 3 days of age) resulted in growth retardation followed immediately by compensatory growth" which resulted in complete compensation for the loss of weight gain, so that the conditioned chickens achieved higher body weight than that of the controls at 42 days of age. The compensatory growth was partially explained by its dramatic positive effect on the proliferation of muscle satellite cells which are necessary for further muscle hypertrophy. By its significant effect of the morphology and functioning of the gastrointestinal tract during and after using thermal conditioning. The significant effect of thermal conditioning on the chicken thermoregulation was found to be associated with a reduction in heat production and evaporative heat loss, and with an increase in sensible heat loss. It was further accompanied by changes in hormones regulating growth and metabolism These physiological responses may result from possible alterations in PO/AH gene expression patterns (14-3-3e), suggesting a more efficient mechanism to cope with heat stress. Understanding the physiological mechanisms behind thermal conditioning step us forward to elucidate the molecular mechanism behind the PO/AH response, and response of other major organs. The thermal conditioning technique is used now in many countries including Israel, South Korea, Australia, France" Ecuador, China and some places in the USA. The improvement in growth perfom1ance (50-190 g/chicken) and thermotolerance as a result of postnatal thermal conditioning, may initiate a dramatic improvement in the economy of broiler's production.

Full textAbstract:
Beginning in 2007 the I and I committee has developed an expansive set of modeling and full-scale testing projects dealing with mechanical damage, considering the severity of damage response to pressure and pressure cycling and its assessment, its detection and sizing, and its management. While much data and insight has been developed, the practicable outcomes are limited to tools to predict the burst pressure specific to collapse-controlled failure and fatigue response specific to plain dents. Simple practical acceptance guidelines have however not emerged. The subcontract sought completion of Task 1 of Project MD-4-13. Thus, information was gathered and reviewed concerning the body of knowledge developed by PRCI and others with a view to best define a plain dent such that: 1) simple management guidelines can be established; 2) such dents can be readily distinguished relative to other damage features; and 3) gaps in existing technology can be identified and bridged to enable developing management guidelines for other more complex dents. In complement to that, the subcontract's scope sought comments concerning definitions of dent-related damage to pipelines, which is addressed in large part by this report. Subsequent Tasks in this Project will benefit from these outcomes as they establish the technical foundation to define the response time frame when managing such features.

Protection of Cattle against Babesiosis: Immunization against Babesia bovis with an Optimized RAP-1/Apical Complex Construct. United States Department of Agriculture, September 1999. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/1999.7573063.bard.
Full textAbstract:
Previous research and current efforts at control of babesiosis fall short of meeting the needs of countries where the disease is endemic, such as Israel, as well as the needs of exporting countries and countries bordering on endemic areas, such as the U.S. Our long-term goal is to develop improved methods of immunization against bovine babesiosis based on an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of immune protection and parasite targets of a protective immune response. In our previous BARD project, we established the basis for focusing on rhoptry antigens as components of a subunit vaccine against bovine babesiosis, and for additional research to better characterize rhoptry associated protein-1 (RAP-1) as a target of protective immunity. In this continuation BARD project, our objectives were to [1] optimize the immune response against RAP-1, and [2] identify additional rhoptry candidate vaccine antigens. The entire locus encoding B. bovis RAP-1 was sequenced, and the rap-1 open reading frame compared among several strains. Unlike B. bigemina, in which multiple gene copies with variant domains encode RAP-1, the B. bovis RAP-1 locus contains only two identical genes which are conserved among strains. Through testing of multiple truncated constructs of rRAP-1, one or more immunodominant T cell epitopes were mapped to the amino terminal half of RAP-1. At least one linear and one conformational B cell epitope have been demonstrated in the same amino terminal construct, which in B. bigemina RAP-1 also contains an epitope recognized by neutralizing antibody. The amine terminal half of the molecule represents the most highly conserved part of the gene family and contains motifs conserved broadly among the apicomplexa. In contrast, the carboxy terminal half of B. bovis RAP-1 is less well conserved and contains multiple repeats encoding a linear B cell epitope potentially capable of inducing an ineffective, T cell independent, type 2 immune response. Therefore, we are testing an amino terminal fragment of RAP-1 (RAP-1N) in an immunization trial in cattle. Cattle have beer immunized with RAP-1N or control antigen, and IL-12 with Ribi adjuvant. Evaluation of the immune response is ongoing, and challenge with virulent B. bovis will occur in the near future. While no new rhoptry antigens were identified, our studies did identify and characterize a new spherical body antigen (SBP3), and several heat shock proteins (HSP's). The SBP3 and HSP21 antigens stimulate T cells from immune cattle and are considered new vaccine candidates worthy of further testing. Overall, we conclude that a single RAP-1 vaccine construct representing the conserved amino terminal region of the molecule should be sufficient for immunization against all strains of B. bovis. While results of the ongoing immunization trial will direct our next research steps, results at this time are consistent with our long term goal of designing a subunit vaccine which contains only the epitopes relevant to induction of protective immunity. Parallel studies are defining the mechanisms of protective immunity. Apicomplexan protozoa, including babesiosis and malaria, cause persistent diseases for which control is inadequate. The apical organelles are defining features of these complex protozoa, and have been conserved through the evolutionary process, Past and current BARD projects on babesiosis have established the validity and potential of exploiting these conserved organelles in developing improved control methods applicable to all apicomplexan diseases.

Full textAbstract:
Under the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistance to Firefighter Grant Fire Prevention and Safety Research Program, Underwriters Laboratories examined fire service concerns of photovoltaic (PV) systems. These concerns include firefighter vulnerability to electrical and casualty hazards when mitigating a fire involving photovoltaic (PV) modules systems. The need for this project is significant acknowledging the increasing use of photovoltaic systems, growing at a rate of 30% annually. As a result of greater utilization, traditional firefighter tactics for suppression, ventilation and overhaul have been complicated, leaving firefighters vulnerable to potentially unrecognized exposure. Though the electrical and fire hazards associated with electrical generation and distribution systems is well known, PV systems present unique safety considerations. A very limited body of knowledge and insufficient data exists to understand the risks to the extent that the fire service has been unable to develop safety solutions and respond in a safe manner. This fire research project developed the empirical data that is needed to quantify the hazards associated with PV installations. This data provides the foundation to modify current or develop new firefighting practices to reduce firefighter death and injury. A functioning PV array was constructed at Underwriters Laboratories in Northbrook, IL to serve as a test fixture. The main test array consisted of 26 PV framed modules rated 230 W each (5980 W total rated power). Multiple experiments were conducted to investigate the efficacy of power isolation techniques and the potential hazard from contact of typical firefighter tools with live electrical PV components. Existing fire test fixtures located at the Delaware County Emergency Services Training Center were modified to construct full scale representations of roof mounted PV systems. PV arrays were mounted above Class A roofs supported by wood trusses. Two series of experiments were conducted. The first series represented a room of content fire, extending into the attic space, breaching the roof and resulting in structural collapse. Three PV technologies were subjected to this fire condition – rack mounted metal framed, glass on polymer modules, building integrated PV shingles, and a flexible laminate attached to a standing metal seam roof. A second series of experiments was conducted on the metal frame technology. These experiments represented two fire scenarios, a room of content fire venting from a window and the ignition of debris accumulation under the array. The results of these experiments provide a technical basis for the fire service to examine their equipment, tactics, standard operating procedures and training content. Several tactical considerations were developed utilizing the data from the experiments to provide specific examples of potential electrical shock hazard from PV installations during and after a fire event.

Investigation on Design and Analysis of Passenger Car Body Crash-Worthiness in Frontal Impact Using Radioss. SAE International, September 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/2020-28-0498.
Full textAbstract:
Increasing advancement in automotive technologies ensures that many more lightweight metals become added to the automotive components for the purpose of light weighting and passenger safety. The accidents are unexpected incidents most drivers cannot be avoided that trouble situation. Crash studies are among the most essential methods for enhancing automobile safety features. Crash simulations are attempting to replicate the circumstances of the initial crash. Frontal crashes are responsible for occupant injuries and fatalities 42% of accidents occur on frontal crash. This paper aims at studying the frontal collision of a passenger car frame for frontal crashes based on numerical simulation of a 35 MPH. The structure has been designed to replicate a frontal collision into some kind of inflexible shield at a speed of 15.6 m/s (56 km/h). The vehicle’s exterior body is designed by CATIA V5 R20 along with two material properties to our design. The existing Aluminum alloy 6061 series is compared with carbon fiber IM8 material. The simulation is being carried out by us in the “Radioss” available in “Hyper mesh 17.0” software. The energy conservation and momentum energy absorption are carried out from this dynamic structural analysis.
