Full textAbstract:
El objetivo de este artículo es sacar a la luz la figura de Sor Constanza de Castilla (s. XV), una de las primeras traductoras en lengua castellana. Esta monja dominica es un ejemplo de cómo en esa época las mujeres pudieron acceder a un nivel cultural desde el que se iniciaron como escritoras y traductoras, dentro de la vida monacal y en el seno de la aristocracia. Sor Constanza de Castilla, de linaje real y ascendencia alemana, fue una influyente y poderosa priora que, en el seno del convento, no sólo compuso oraciones y obras devotas, sino que también fue recopiladora de textos y traductora, faceta esta última que más nos interesa poner en valor en este estudio. En esta investigación analizamos su obra, el manuscrito Devocio y Oficios, que se conserva en la Biblioteca Nacional de Madrid y que servía para la oración y el canto de los oficios a las monjas de su convento. Esta religiosa combina en su devocionario la formación y la doctrina, los dos ejes del carisma de la comunidad religiosa a la que pertenece, la Orden de Predicadores. En una vida dedicada a la oración dentro del claustro, las traducciones, como parte esencial del manuscrito, se convierten en un aspecto central de la existencia diaria de la comunidad.

There are many names of wives of writers, poets, scientists and politicians in the world’s history. They were assistants, who inspired their husbands contributed to their success. Dominica Ohiienko (1882-1937) is one of these wives. Thirty years of Ivan Ohiienko’s life she was his faithful friend, mother of his children and inspiration in his job. The paper observes the underestimated and unknown in the research literature re-lationships in the family of the famous ukrainian statesman, religious fi gure, scientist, interpreter and publisher Ivan Ohiienko. His wife Dominica Ohiienko was always on his side, but very modest, stayed in the shadow.The scientistic novelty of the paper is the fi rst attempt to study the creation of the prominent scientist through the prism of family, devoted wife and great mother. The aim of the paper is to research and to study the epistolary developments of Ivan Ohiienko, to elucidate the little-known details of the Dominica Ohiienko’s biography, to investigate her role as rewrites, critic, co-author in Ivan Ohiienko’s con-structive and research process and to investigate the peculiarities of the Ohiienko’s creation. The correspondence, literary works, little-known unexplored details of biog-raphy, which help to defi ne the unknown facts of life and developments of the couple are introduced in the literary usage for the fi rst time.Scientist signifi cance of the paper is the fact, that Dominica Ohiienko had a huge role in the developments and works of her husband Ivan Ohiienko. As soon as Suche understood that the creation of her husband are the great gift for Ukraine and the whole ukrainian nation, Dominica Ohiienko became indispensable helper of Ivan Ohiienko. Her contribution in the creative work of her husband is underestimated. There were written and published over the thirty textbooks, manuals, dictionaries, tables for stud-ying Ukrainian language for each stratum of society during their matrimony. Despite of the huge amount of obligatios as rector and minister, Ivan and Dominica Ohiienko transferred the speech of Taras Shevchenko literary works to the 200 thousands cards with comments and explanations in Kamianets-Podilskyi. Moreover they investigated the ukrainian typography, published the magazine «Ridna Mowa», scientifi c-literary magazine «Nasha Kultura» and many more.

Full textAbstract:
The island-nation of Dominica, 790 km2 in area, is located approximately 1126.5 km Southeast of Florida, USA. In the mid-1990s, Dominica embarked on developing the 183.5 km Waitukubuli National Trail (WNT), the first and only national trail model in the Eastern Caribbean. The 14-segment WNT, officially opened in May 2013, passes through some of the island’s most diverse landscapes. WNT was designed to link as many rural communities as possible and promote ecotourism and community socioeconomic development. Rehabilitation work continues on the WNT and the rest of Dominica, following the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria of 2017. This article, based primarily on a limited questionnaire survey, selected interviews, and literature review, explored the research question ‘What were the challenges faced by a small-island nation in the development of a National Trail? Five specific research objectives focused on the conceptualization, implementation challenges, partnerships fostered, national and sub-regional significance, and future outlook of the Trail were considered. Questionnaire respondents identified the island’s topography and negotiations with private landowners as significant trail construction challenges. A 100% of survey respondents anticipate that reliable funding to support timely maintenance would likely be a critical future issue. Some respondents identified marketing, public engagement, and visitor safety as potential issues. Face-to-face interviews found strong support for the WNT. The interviewees were confident that Dominica would realize sustainable socioeconomic benefits from the Trail. The article concludes with lessons learned and proposes strategies and research themes to ensure the Trail’s sustainability.

Este artículo investiga el exemplum 38 del Conde Lucanor, en el que un hombre muere cruzando un río tras decidir no soltar su tesoro, que apenas ha recibido atención de la crítica. Sin que se conozca el origen de la historia, tras proponer dos potenciales fuentes dominicas y estudiar el contexto económico-social, planteamos que, más allá de una condena abstracta del pecado de la avaricia, don Juan Manuel reprueba la acumulación de riquezas por el estamento no nobiliario. El exemplum podría leerse además como una variante del debate escolástico de los actos voluntarios e involuntarios (elección), desarrollado por figuras como Tomás de Aquino. Esta doble lectura confirmaría, además de algunos de los aspectos apuntados por la crítica tradicional para el Conde Lucanor (relevancia cultural del reinado de Sancho IV, conexión dominica, necesidad de leer los exempla en conjunción con el resto de partes…), la mayor complejidad semántica sugerida por críticos como Laurence de Looze o Jonathan Burgoyne.

Full textAbstract:
An updated and extensively revised checklist of the arthropods of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti) is presented 11 years after the publication of the original in 2008. It integrates and quantifies all the terrestrial and surrounding marine arthropod species (plus those of Tardigrada and Onychophora), reported in the zoological literature for Hispaniola through the middle of 2019. A total of 9,920 valid species (8,202 extant and 1,718 fossil) are listed, which represents an increase of 1,683 species (1,369 extant and 314 fossil) from the original list. The largest component is Insecta (6,784 extant and 1,136 fossil), including 2,206 extant species of Coleoptera, 1,042 species of Hemiptera, 929 species of Diptera, 913 species of Lepidoptera and 774 species of Hymenoptera. Emphasis is on reviewing and updating the original list, including all newly recorded taxa and all pertinent taxonomic changes proposed since then. Important corrections have been made, and explanatory notes have been added. For example, multiple authors have confused the Lesser Antillean island of Dominica with the Dominican Republic. This error is much more common in the literature than was initially recognized. Erroneous records attributing species from one island to the other have been identified and corrected. The original spelling of the cricket species Scapsipedus bastardoi Otte & Perez-Gelabert, 2009, dedicated to Dominican biologist Ruth H. Bastardo, is corrected to Scapsipedus bastardoae nom. emend. High species endemism is typical of the biota of Caribbean islands. In this checklist, a total of 3,161 arthropod species (38.6%) are considered endemic or unique to Hispaniola. Among the speciose groups with higher levels of endemism are the Diplopoda (91.6%), Orthoptera (90.1%), Trichoptera (82.6%), Coleoptera (49.3%) and Araneae (47.5%). Also, a total of 201 arthropod species (174 insects + 27 non-insects) are identified as introduced to the island. The accompanying bibliography complements the taxonomic information and includes over 5,000 titles.

Full textAbstract:
Reputations are a ubiquitous feature of human social life, and a large literature has been dedicated to explaining the relationship between prosocial reputations and cooperation in social dilemmas. However, humans form reputations in domains other than prosociality, such as economic competency that could affect cooperation. To date, no research has evaluated the relative effects of multiple reputation domains on cooperation. To bridge this gap, we analyse how prosocial and competency reputations affect cooperation in two Latin American communities (Bwa Mawego, Dominica, and Pucucanchita, Peru) across a number of social contexts (Dominica: labour contracting, labour exchange and conjugal partnership formation; Peru: agricultural and health advice network size). First, we examine the behavioural correlates of prosocial and competency reputations. Following, we analyse whether prosocial, competency, or both reputation domains explain the flow of cooperative benefits within the two communities. Our analyses suggest that (i) although some behaviours affect both reputation domains simultaneously, each reputation domain has a unique behavioural signature; and (ii) competency reputations affect cooperation across a greater number of social contexts compared to prosocial reputations. Results are contextualized with reference to the social markets in which behaviour is embedded and a call for greater theory development is stressed.

Full textAbstract:
The so-called ‘Sunday Letter’ (otherwise entitled the ‘Heavenly Letter’, the Carta Dominica or the ‘Lettre du Christ tombée du ciel’) is extant in Latin and many vernacular languages and has already attracted a considerable explicatory literature. As is well known, the ‘Sunday Letter’ purports to be a letter from Christ himself, written variously in his own blood, with a golden rod or by an angel. It falls on to one of the principal shrines of Christendom (frequently Rome, Jerusalem or Bethlehem) and passes into the hands of the clergy. The letter urges strict enforcement of the observance of Sunday, accompanied by dire threats for those who fail to comply. ‘Sunday Lists’ (also known as the ‘Benedictions of Sunday’ or the dignatio Diei dominici), sometimes lengthy, are inserted within some of the extant examples of the ‘Letter’. These enumerate notable scriptural events which occurred, or are said to have occurred, on Sunday, in order to strengthen reasons for veneration of the day. Recent publication of individual, and isolated, ‘Sunday Lists’ from early Hiberno-Latin manuscripts has suggested that a survey of available and new material and a reconsideration of the relationship between the ‘Sunday Lists’ and the ‘Sunday Letter’ would be useful.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT This article examines the lives of two mixed-race evangelists, Samuel Barber (1783–1828) and Edward Fraser (1798–1872). Born in London, Barber, whose father was a manumitted slave, became a Primitive Methodist lay preacher in Staffordshire. Fraser, born in Barbados, was illegitimate; his mother was enslaved. Freed at the age of twenty-nine, he became a prominent Wesleyan Methodist missionary and minister in Antigua, Bermuda, Dominica, Jamaica, and St Kitts. The article pays particular attention to these men’s racial heritage.

Full textAbstract:
There is ample evidence that entomopathogenic fungi can be used as alternative biological control agents for the management of insect pests in storage facilities. As the market demands more environmentally friendly methods and chemical insecticides become increasingly obsolete, more studies are being conducted to evaluate new strains of entomopathogenic fungi for their efficacy in storage facilities. In this context, we tested ten species of fungi isolated from soil, belonging to the genera Cladosporium, Condenascus, Lecanicillium, and Penicillium, for their long-term effects on economically important beetle species. Whole wheat was directly sprayed with a conidial suspension of 108 spores/Ml of each of the tested fungi and then adults of Sitophilus granarius, S. oryzae, S. zeamais, Rhyzopertha dominica, and Trogoderma granarium were placed on the sprayed medium to study the mortality effects. Significantly higher mortality than the control was observed in all treatments. The lowest LT50 (9.164 days) was observed in T. granarium infected with Penicillium goetzii. The isolate with the strongest results was L. dimorphum, which recorded remarkably low LT50 values in S. oryzae (~11 days), R. dominica (~12 days), T. granarium (~10 days), and S. granarius (~13 days). However, for S. zeamais, it was more than 16 days. Our results confirm the existing literature on the efficacy of EPF on storage beetles, suggest the possible virulence of wild untested strains, and also highlight the importance of EPF specificity.

Resum: El manuscrit que ens disposem a donar a conèixer és un tresor documental interessantíssim per abordar l’estudi dels usos poètics de les dones d’època moderna als territoris de parla catalana, no només pel nombre de composicions recuperades d’una mateixa autora (un total de 53 poesies espirituals, no catalogades i desconegudes fins ara) sinó perquè es tracta d’un dels pocs autògrafs femenins accessibles per a la recerca. La inexistència de treballs dedicats exclusivament a la poesia femenina d’època moderna al panorama català, ens obliga necessàriament a iniciar el treball amb una primera part introductòria dedicada a qu?estions relatives als usos poètics de les dones dels segles XVI-XVIII, tot centrant-nos en algunes autores de l’àmbit conventual, al qual pertany el manuscrit objecte d’estudi. En la segona part del treball, ens centrem particularment en l’anàlisi i estudi del manuscrit. Així doncs, en una primera aproximació, descrivim el contingut del quadern, íntegrament en castellà, que recull composicions de caire espiritual i devot, i esbossem les dades biogràfiques de l’autora, la religiosa dominica sor Eulària Teixidor. Tot partint dels interessants estudis apareguts en els darrers anys sobre la literatura conventual femenina, intentem vincular aquest manuscrit amb la variada producció monàstica escrita per nombroses religioses de l’època sota manament del confessor.Paraules clau: Estudis de gènere; Literatura femenina conventual; Poesia religiosa; Eulària Teixidor; ManuscritAbstract: The manuscript that we are presenting is a fascinating and highly valuable document to study the catalan women poetry in the Modern Age, not only because of the number of recovered pieces from the same author (53 unknown spiritual poems not yet catalogued), but also because it is one of the few feminine manuscripts accessible for research. The lack of works exclusively dedicated to the feminine poetry in the Catalan-speaking countries in the Modern Age compels us to start the work with some general considerations concerning poetical works of women in the 16th-18th centuries, focusing on the conventual literature, which the manuscript belongs to. As a first approximation, we describe the content of the manuscript, which is entirely written in Spanish, that includes spiritual and pious compositions and we provide some biographical information of the author, the dominican Sister Eulària Teixidor, so far undiscovered. Relying on the recent interesting studies published on Women’s Monastic Literature, we try to establish connections between this manuscript and the varied monastic literature, produced by numerous nuns in this period under the order of the confessor.Key words: Gender Studies; Women’s Monastic Literature; Religious Poetry; Eulària Teixidor; Manuscript

El texto que Massignon creyera ser la muestra del más antiguo «Padre nuestro» en árabe, tal como se nos ha conservado no es sino una adaptación musulmana que queda lejos de poder representar una versión directa de la Oratio Dominica, lo cual obliga a rastrear las antiguas versiones árabes del «Padre nuestro» entre la producción literaria cristiana. En ésta, tanto las versiones orientales como las occidentales ofrecen lecturas distintas en función de su procedencia doctrinal: las orientales atienden, a grandes rasgos, a una doble clasificación, muestras ortodoxas y monofisítas, en tanto que las occidentales, además de evidenciar una compleja tradición textual de los textos bíblicos neotestamentarios, parecen reflejar, cuando menos y a simple vista, interferencias orientales de procedencia monofisita, que llevan a reconsiderar la naturaleza, las fuentes y las familias textuales de las traducciones que circularon por al-Andalus.

Full textAbstract:
Jean Rhys’s stories ‘Temps Perdi’ (1967), ‘I Spy the Stranger’ (1966), ‘A Solid House,’ (1963), and ‘The Insect World’ (1973) do not figure in current scholarship on Second World War fiction. Versions of the first three were offered for publication in 1946. Rhys began writing ‘The Insect World’ in the mid-1940s. Rhys’s perspective in the fiction is that of an expatriate white Creole from Dominica, an island with formative Indigenous and French and British imperial histories. Focusing on ‘The Insect World’, ‘I Spy a Stranger’, and ‘Temps Perdi’, I analyse Rhys’s representations of temporalities of memory, ruin, loss of bearings, and hallucination and draw out the distinctive significance of the complex allusive and political reach of the fiction.

Full textAbstract:
Children, particularly those living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), are highly vulnerable to climate change and its impacts. Our main objective was to conduct a scoping literature review to determine how exposure to climate change and climate-related disasters influences the presence of mental disorders among children in LMICs. We also aimed to identify gaps in this area of scholarship. We included studies of children in LMICs that had a climate change or climate-related disaster exposure and mental disorder outcome. Twenty-three studies were included in the final synthesis. Fourteen studies were conducted in China, three in India, two each in Pakistan and the Philippines, and one each in Namibia and Dominica. All studies assessed the association between a climate-related disaster exposure and a mental disorder outcome, while none explored broader climate change-related exposures. Post-traumatic stress disorder (n = 21 studies) and depression (n = 8 studies) were the most common mental disorder outcomes. There was considerable between-study heterogeneity in terms of sample size, follow-up length, and outcome measurement. Overall, the literature in this area was sparse. Additional high-quality research is required to better understand the impacts of climate-related disasters and climate change on mental disorders within this population to ultimately inform future policies and interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Paracryptops inexpectus Chamberlin, 1914, known only from the holotype that was discovered in a potted plant from Guyana during quarantine inspection in Washington, DC, USA, is redescribed and illustrated based in part on two newly discovered specimens from Dominica, Lesser Antilles. A generic account is also presented along with a brief literature review. The species is the only generic representative in the Western Hemisphere; the other four species occur in southern/southeast Asia and the East Indies, as depicted in a distribution map. This pattern suggests that the New World occurrences of P. inexpectus result from human introductions, and that it is really an Asian species. As representatives of Paracryptops Pocock, 1891, have twice been intercepted in quarantines, another was discovered under flower pots in a plant nursery, and five others were taken in urban environments where allochthonous species typically predominate, these centipedes seem particularly amenable to transport and introduction through human agency. With few anatomical distinctions between them, P. inexpectus may be a junior synonym of P. weberi Pocock, 1891.

The Dominican friar Giovanni Dominici (1356-1419) was an influential, charismatic, and popular preacher, and an important figure in the political world of Renaissance Florence, but neglected in modern scholarship. This study offers a thorough summary of Dominici's political views as well as a biographical portrait, a bibliographical survey, and a discussion of Dominici's preaching style. The article draws on a large, unpublished collection of Dominici's sermons from the Biblioteca Riccardiana, dating from 1400 to 1406. Dominici emerges as an ambivalent participant in Florentine politics, advocating some of its civic values such as the active life and patriotism, while fiercely criticizing humanist ideals such as the use of rhetoric in politics and the rise of the professional politician

Full textAbstract:
Over the last few decades, many countries, especially islands in the Caribbean, have been challenged by the devastating consequences of natural disasters, which pose a significant threat to human health and safety. Timely information related to the distribution of vulnerable population and critical infrastructure is key for effective disaster relief. OpenStreetMap (OSM) has repeatedly been shown to be highly suitable for disaster mapping and management. However, large portions of the world, including countries exposed to natural disasters, remain incompletely mapped. In this study, we propose a methodology that relies on remotely sensed measurements (e.g., Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1) and derived classification schemes (e.g., forest and built-up land cover) to predict the completeness of OSM building footprints in three small island states (Haiti, Dominica and St. Lucia). We find that the combinatorial effects of these predictors explain up to 94% of the variation of the completeness of OSM building footprints. Our study extends the existing literature by demonstrating how remotely sensed measurements could be leveraged to evaluate the completeness of the OSM database, especially in countries with high risk of natural disasters. Identifying areas that lack coverage of OSM features could help prioritize mapping efforts, especially in areas vulnerable to natural hazards and where current data gaps pose an obstacle to timely and evidence-based disaster risk management.

Full textAbstract:
Geotourism is a relatively new concept in the tourism industry, a concept which apparently has not yet been formally embraced by Caribbean destinations. This paper, based primarily on a literature review supplemented by the first-hand knowledge of the author, who served for over a decade in the natural resource management and tourism sectors in the region, identifies some of the geotourism assets and assesses the geotourism potential of two selected Caribbean islands, namely the Commonwealth of Dominica and St. Lucia. Indications are that the islands of the region have outstanding geological formations, dormant and active volcanic zones and associated geomorphological features, and breath-taking terrestrial and marine landscapes, including deep river gorges and tall mountains, and beautiful beaches, which together constitute important geotourism assets. Currently, these resources are marketed and promoted as part of the region’s nature tourism attractions. The feasibility of incorporating geotourism as a component of this overall nature tourism thrust is explored in this paper. As a follow-up to this study a survey of tourism officials, natural resource professionals, and selected scientists of the region is proposed for the purpose of identifying the reasons and constraints preventing the Caribbean region from formally embracing geotourism, developing and promoting the geotourism resources of the region as a unique component of the overall tourism product.

The aim of this article is to analyze Angie Cruz’s novel Dominicana from a multicultural and gender perspective focusing on how Cruz introduces the female body as a metaphor for the immigrant experience lived by Dominican Women during the 1960s in the United States. Also, this paper studies how the female body becomes a metaphorical border in the diasporic experience for the central character as a way to depict an essentially female in-between-space. Thus, Cruz rewrites and recreates from the female body the diasporic experience of Dominican women immigrants in New York from an intersectional perspective.

Full textAbstract:
During the 1980s, the major security themes that Caribbean scholars studied were geopolitics, militarization, intervention, and instability. The interface between domestic and international politics led to linkages among some of these themes and their domestic, regional, and international dimensions. For example, the militarization of Grenada in the 1980s was predicated on the need to defend the Grenadian revolution against foreign intervention and local counterrevolution. Ironically, the same buildup created the climate that led to the self-destruction of the revolution and presented the United States with a golden opportunity to intervene. In doing so, the United States succeeded in fulfilling a preexisting geopolitical aim of its own. Elsewhere in the region, militarization and concerns about stability in Dominica, Barbados, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines raised security concerns within the Eastern Caribbean, where several countries created the Regional Security System (RSS) in 1982 to bolster subregional security and became willing accomplices of intervention when the United States intervened in Grenada a year later.

Full textAbstract:
In response to a series of historical and contemporary extreme weather events, Dominica, a small island developing state (SIDS) in the Caribbean, is pursuing an objective of climate resilience by 2030. In 2018, the Government developed the Climate Resilience and Recovery Plan 2020–2030 (CRRP) in the context of its National Resilience Development Strategy. These policy responses have been hailed as transformational. In this paper, we focus on the CRRP and investigate its quality. To achieve this, we conduct a desk-based qualitative assessment of the CRRP’s (1) information base; (2) vision, goals and objectives; (3) priorities and options; (4) actions and implementation; and (5) monitoring and evaluation. We find that the CRRP is strongest on (1) and (3), which is not uncommon for similar policies. We also discuss whether it can be a model for transformation in the Caribbean, given the region’s long history with trying to recover from and build resilience to disasters. We conclude that, in order for it to be used as a model, there are three key factors that other jurisdictions would need to consider. The first consideration is developing mechanisms for equitably sharing any benefits derived from the blue economy. The second consideration is centering Indigenous perspectives in environmental policy- and decision-making. The third consideration is adequately accounting for exogenous, unexpected risks. Given these three considerations, we see this study as contributing to discussions about what constitutes good policy in a SIDS context, which is an underexplored area in the existing academic literature.

Full textAbstract:
Pulses and Cereals have great nutritional value in the daily human diet. Infestation of Stored grain is a serious issue since different life stages of several types of insects can cause it. Insect degrade the quality of stored grains and product, resulting in economic losses. The storage of grains has been linked to a high number of insect infestations. Almost all stored grain insect pests have remarkably high multiplication rates and may destroy 10-15 % of grains. The major pest of stored grains includes Weevil (Sitophilus oryzae, Sitophilus zeamais, Sitophilus granaries), Tribolium species (Tribolium castaneum and Tribolium confusum), Khapra beetles (Trogoderma granarium), lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica), Pulse beetles (Callosobruchus maculatus), Rice moth (Corcyra cephalonica), etc. Continuous and indiscriminate over use of insecticides are responsible for the development of resistance against these insect pesticides. Accumulation of synthetic chemical pesticide residues on pulses and cereals are unfortunately consumed by human. Recently, in agricultural practices in different areas of the world, attention has been given towards the exploitation of plant biochemical as a new approach in stored grain protection. Various scientific literature already documented the efficacy of plant derivatives against storage grain pests. Biopesticides kill and repel the insect pests, affect insect growth, development and metamorphosis. Farmers have used higher plants, medicinal plants, various herbs and traditional spices for stored grain insect pest management, but majority of farmer use chemical insecticide to increase productivity but it causes adverse effect on environment and non-target animal including human also, so there is more need for scientific research regarding the plant Biopesticides efficacy against stored grain pests.

Full textAbstract:
Ethiopian subsistence farmers traditionally store their grain harvests, leaving them open to storage pests and fungi that can cause contamination of major staple crops. Applying the most effective strategy requires a precise understanding of the insect species, infestation rates, storage losses, and storage conditions in the various types of farmers’ grain stores. This study did a complete literature analysis on post-harvest pest and management measures with a focus on Ethiopia. The most frequent insect pests of stored cereals in this study were weevils (Sitophilus spp.), the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica), rust-red flour beetle (Tribolium sp.), sawtoothed grain beetle (Oryzaephilus sp.), grain beetle (Cryptolestes spp.), Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella), and Angoumois grain moth (Sitotroga cerealella). Flour beetles (Tribolium spp.), sawtoothed beetles (Oryzaephilus sp.), flat grain beetles (Cryptolestes pusillus), and some moths have been identified as common stored product pests of stored oil seed, while bruchid beetles (Callosobruchus chinensis) and the moths were reported for pulses. Additionally, the storage pests in Ethiopia under varied conditions caused storage losses of 9–64.5%, 13–95%, 36.9–51.9%, and 2–94.7% in maize, sorghum, chickpeas, and sesame, respectively. To reduce the losses incurred, preventative measures can be taken before infestations or as soon as infestations are discovered. A variety of pest population monitoring systems for harvested products and retailers have been developed and recommended. In this context, reducing post-harvest grain losses is an urgent concern for improving food accessibility and availability for many smallholder farmers in Ethiopia and ensuring the nation’s long-term food security.

Abstract Translators on a Tight Rope: The Challenges of Translating Edwidge Danticat's Breath, Eyes, Memory and Patrick Chamoiseau's Texaco — For Caribbean intellectuals and scholars, translation of Caribbean literary texts has a key role to play for breaching the language barriers in the Caribbean and fostering regional integration. However, most publishing houses are located in the industrialized North, i.e. in countries which had colonial interests in the region. The targeted market of these publishers is located in a region which tends to exoticize the Caribbean. Henceforth, translating Caribbean literature can be like walking on a tight rope, since the translator would have to negotiate carefully between exoticism and faithfulness to the Caribbean culture. In addition, at least for the Dutch, French and English-speaking Caribbean, there is also the issue of bilingualism: use of French in relation with use of Haitian / Martinican / Guadeloupian Creole, use of English with Jamaican / Trinidadian Creole or a French-based Creole (Dominica, Grenada, and St Lucia). Against this background, we examined two translations, one from English into French (Edwidge Danticat's Breath, Eyes, Memory, 1994), the other from French into English (Patrick Chamoiseau's Texaco, 1992). We analyzed the translators' strategies in order to convey the Haitian and Martinican cultures. We also discussed their rendering of the bilingual shifts present in both texts. One translator was more successful than the other, which also raised the issue of 'scholar' translation versus 'non scholar' translation. In conclusion, Caribbean academics have to be watchful of the translations of literary works of the region since these translations, which do not aim primarily at the regional audience will nevertheless impact on cultural relationships in the region.

From pre-Columbian times through to the twentieth century, Dominican children's literature has struggled to define itself due to pressures from outside forces such as imperialism and colonialism. This paper examines the socio-political contexts within Dominican history that determined the kind of literature available to children, which almost exclusively depicted a specific construction of indigeneity, European or Anglo-American characters and settings, in an effort to efface the country's African roots. After the Educational Reform of 1993 was instituted, however, there has been a promising change in the field, as Dominican writers are engaged in producing literature for young people that includes more accurate representations of Blackness and multiculturalism.

Abstract Wood warblers (Parulidae) eat insects, spiders and other small arthropods, fruit, and nectar, but have also been documented preying on vertebrates. We conducted a literature review to determine which species of Parulidae have been observed capturing or consuming vertebrate species, such as small lizards, amphibians, and fish. We also include information and discussion of three previously unpublished observations: 1) a Black-and-white Warbler (Mniotilta varia) photographed with a bark anole (Anolis distichus) in its mouth on San Salvador Island, The Bahamas, 2) a Black-and-white Warbler that had small lizard bones (Anolis spp.) in its stomach contents in Jamaica, and 3) a Yellow-throated Warbler (Setophaga dominica) photographed preying on a brown anole (Anolis sagrei) in Florida, USA. The latter observation was particularly interesting as the brown anole shed its tail and briefly escaped before being recaptured by the warbler. Including these three unpublished events, our literature review found 24 separate records of 12 Parulidae species preying on vertebrates. The majority of predation records were of lizards (58%), with an additional 25% predation records of amphibians and 17% of fish. We hypothesize that vertebrate predation by wood warblers is opportunistic and potentially limited by the difficulty in capturing, handling, and consuming larger vertebrate prey. There is also non-mutually exclusive evidence to suggest birds exhibit plasticity in prey items, partially switching to larger, more difficult-to-handle vertebrate prey during taxing periods when invertebrate prey are less available. Our study synthesizes previous work and can assist future research in better understanding trophic interactions, foraging efficiency and prey size, evolution, and the natural history of both warblers and their vertebrate prey.

Resumen Revisión de la depredación de vertebrados por parte de parúlidos (Parulidae) y descripción de tres nuevas observaciones • Los parúlidos (Parulidae) se alimentan de insectos, arañas y otros pequeños artrópodos, frutas y néctar; pero también se ha documentado que depredan vertebrados. Realizamos una revisión bibliográfica para determinar qué especies de Parulidae han sido observadas capturando o consumiendo especies de vertebrados, como pequeños lagartos, anfibios y peces. También incluimos información y discutimos tres observaciones inéditas: 1) un individuo de Mniotilta varia fotografiado con un lagarto de la especie Anolis distichus en el pico en la isla de San Salvador, Bahamas, 2) otro individuo de Mniotilta varia que tenía pequeños huesos de Anolis spp. en su contenido estomacal en Jamaica, y 3) un indidividuo de Setophaga dominica fotografiado mientras depredaba a otro de Anolis sagrei en Florida, Estados Unidos. Esta última observación fue especialmente interesante, ya que el lagarto soltó la cola y escapó brevemente antes de ser recapturado por el ave. Incluyendo estos tres eventos no publicados, en nuestra revisión de la literatura encontramos 24 registros separados de 12 especies de Parulidae que cazan vertebrados. La mayoría de los registros de depredación fueron de lagartos (58%), mientras que otro 25% se correspondió con anfibios y un 17% con peces. Nuestra hipótesis es que la depredación de vertebrados por parte de parúlidos es oportunista y potencialmente limitada por la dificultad de capturar, manipular y consumir presas vertebradas de mayor tamaño. También existen evidencias no excluyentes que sugieren que las aves muestran plasticidad en sus presas y pueden cambiar parcialmente a presas vertebradas de mayor tamaño y más difíciles de manejar durante los periodos más exigentes, en los que las presas invertebradas están menos disponibles. Nuestro estudio resume trabajos anteriores y puede ayudar en futuras investigaciones a comprender mejor las interacciones tróficas, la eficiencia de forrajeo y el tamaño de las presas, la evolución y la historia natural tanto de los parúlidos como de sus presas vertebradas.

Résumé Examen de la prédation des vertébrés par les parulines (Parulidae) et description de trois nouvelles observations • Les parulines (Parulidae) se nourrissent d’insectes, d’araignées et d’autres petits arthropodes ainsi que de fruits et de nectar, mais il a aussi été constaté qu’elles peuvent s’attaquer aux vertébrés. Nous avons réalisé une étude bibliographique pour déterminer quelles espèces de Parulidae ont été observées capturant ou consommant des vertébrés, tels que des lézards, des amphibiens et des poissons de petite taille. Nous incluons également des informations et une discussion sur trois observations inédites : 1) une Paruline noir et blanc (Mniotilta varia) photographiée avec dans le bec un anolis (Anolis distichus), sur l’île de San Salvador, aux Bahamas ; 2) une Paruline noir et blanc dont l’estomac contenait des os de petits anolis (Anolis spp.), en Jamaïque ; et 3) une Paruline à gorge jaune (Setophaga dominica) photographiée en train de capturer un anolis brun (Anolis sagrei) en Floride, aux États-Unis. Cette dernière observation était particulièrement intéressante, car l’anolis brun a perdu sa queue et s’est brièvement échappé avant d’être repris par la paruline. En incluant ces trois observations non publiées, notre étude bibliographique fait état de 24 enregistrements distincts de 12 espèces de Parulidae capturant des vertébrés. Les mentions de prédation concernaient majoritairement des lézards (58 %), mais aussi des amphibiens (25 %) et des poissons (17 %). Nous supposons que la prédation des vertébrés par les parulines est opportuniste et potentiellement limitée par la difficulté à capturer, manipuler et consommer des proies vertébrées plus grandes. Il existe également des éléments non mutuellement exclusifs qui indiquent que les oiseaux font preuve de plasticité dans le choix de leurs proies, se tournant partiellement vers des proies vertébrées plus grandes et plus difficiles à manipuler lors des périodes où les proies invertébrées sont moins disponibles. Notre étude synthétise les travaux antérieurs et pourra aider les recherches futures à mieux comprendre les interactions trophiques, l’efficacité de la recherche de nourriture et la taille des proies, l’évolution et le cycle de vie des parulines et de leurs proies vertébrées.

Full textAbstract:
Recognizing that the traditional five-state subregion of Central America departed from European colonialism as a federated entity, Ralph Lee Woodward subtitled his seminal history of Central America 'A Nation Divided.“ In his view, ”the social and economic history of the isthmus suggests that its peoples share considerably in their problems and circumstances, even though their political experience has been diverse. But it is also clear that their social and economic unity has been limited by their political disunity“ (Woodward 1985, vii). Following a period of colonial tutelage equal to that of Hispanic Central America, the Commonwealth Caribbean or English-speaking Caribbean also began to edge away from colonization as a federation of ten nations: Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts–Nevis–Anguilla, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and Montserrat. Applying Woodward's criteria, these former British colonies in the West Indies appear to have an even stronger claim than Hispanic Central America to substantial past and future national integration. According to Jamaican-American historian Franklin Knight and theorist Gordon Lewis, this subregion demonstrates more cultural and physical commonalities than differences (Knight 1978, x–xi; G. Lewis 1983). Despite the frictions induced by negotiations for independence, substantial regional integration of the nation-states of the English-speaking Caribbean was achieved during the late 1960s and early 1970s. These efforts atrophied in the years prior to 1987, however, because of internal divisions and external pressures.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article revisits Julia Alvarez’s critically acclaimed historical novel In the Time of the Butterflies (1994). While much scholarship has paid attention to the novel as historiographic metafiction, its depiction of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s regime (1930-61), and its feminist perspective on the Dominican Republic, its racial politics are under-studied. In particular, scholars have overlooked Fela, the Afra-Dominican servant, spirit medium, and storyteller. I argue that studying Fela’s presence in the text as an unauthorized and unauthored voice not only adds complexity to the production of historiography and storytelling but also provides new insight into postcolonial feminist critiques of voice/lessness, narrative, and marginalized identities in the novel and criticism on it. Closely analyzing Fela’s voice—as it intersects with storytelling, historical slave narratives, Vodou, the maternal, and Haiti’s contribution to the Dominican Republic’s history—makes visible the unacknowledged yet essential role of the Afra-Dominican not only in this novel specifically but also to the Dominican Republic more generally.

El conflicto haitiano en la literatura caribeña es un libro publicado en castellano y francés como parte de la colección Bohío de la Biblioteca Nacional de Haití. En este breve ensayo de solo 133 páginas, la historiadora dominicana residente en Colombia Elissa L. Lister tiene como norte la desmitificación de la historia dominicana. El libro surge como respuesta al racismo y la xenofobia impulsado por la ultra-derecha y el estado dominicano en los últimos años. Desde los años 90, la elite dominicana ha incrementado sus ataques en contra de los trabajadores de origen haitiano. Pero esta práctica racista, que cobra fuerza en 1994 en la campaña racista en contra de ex candidato presidencial José Francisco Peña Gómez, un dominicano de origen haitiano, tiene como objetivo principal señalar a nacionales de Haití como chivo expiatorios ante la crisis económica y social del país y así mantener el estatus quo.

Resum: El nomen sacrum ihs se hallaba presente en infinidad de manifestaciones artísticas y objetos de la vida cotidiana durante la Edad Media, por lo que era bien conocido por los fieles. El objetivo del presente artículo es mostrar de qué modo san Vicente Ferrer se sirve de esta abreviatura como símbolo de la crucifixión de Jesucristo con el fin de fomentar la devoción al nombre Iesus y erradicar el recurso a adivinos y sortílegos. Para ello, analizaremos el sermón de la Circuncisión del Señor predicado por el maestro dominico y estableceremos la conexión de los elementos integrantes del texto con representaciones coetáneas de la crucifixión.Paraules clau: san Vicente Ferrer, predicación, Nomina Sacra, crucifixión, historia de la cultura escrita Abstract: The nomen sacrum ihs was present in many paintings as well as other artifacts during the Middle Ages, therefore, it was very well known by the public. The aim of this paper is to show the way Saint Vincent Ferrer uses this abbreviation as a symbol of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ in order to increase the devotion to the Name of Jesus and prevent people from consulting diviners and sorcerers to solve daily life problems. To this end, we analyse the Sermon of the Circumcision of the Lord preached by the Dominican master and establish the relationship between the elements that compose the text and some contemporary images of the Crucifixion.Keywords: Saint Vincent Ferrer, preaching, Nomina Sacra, crucifixion, history of literacy

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn this article, I examine divergent ideological impulses at play in the oeuvre of Aída Cartagena Portalatín (Dominican Republic, 1918–94), including Eurocentric cosmopolitanism, nationalism (of a leftist variety), and pan-Africanism. By exploring key moments in Cartagena's intellectual development and analyzing her 1978 short story collection Tablero (Blackboard), I argue that such apparent incongruities should be understood through the lens of what I call Dominican black cosmopolitanism, a writerly performance of intersectionality that strategically employs contradictory notions of culture and citizenship to illuminate the complex history of the Dominican Republic and propose a new model of national identity. Drawing on Ifeoma Kiddoe Nwankwo's conceptualization of black cosmopolitanism and an innovative body of scholarship on Dominican history and identity, I show how Cartagena deploys opposing discourses within a single text to reimagine Dominican identity in a global context, elucidate the Afro-Dominican experience, and plumb the liberating possibilities of pan-African alliances.

“Neither Here Nor There.” The Experience of Borderless Nation in Contemporary Dominican-American LiteratureDiscussing migrant identities, critics very often focus on the state in-between, the state between the borders, or being neither here nor there, and a migrant group that seems to epitomize this in-between condition is the Dominican-Americans. Consequently, the article seeks to examine the experience of in-betweenness, of being suspended between the boundaries and borders of two countries in selected texts of contemporary Dominican-American writers: Junot Díaz’s novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and a short story “Monstro,” and Angie Cruz’s Soledad. It aims to analyze how the texts discuss the experience of in-betweenness through hybridity (for instance intertextuality and magical realism) with the use of tools offered by the neo-baroque esthetics. „Ani tu, ani tam”. Doświadczenie narodu bez granic we współczesnej literaturze dominikańsko-amerykańskiejAnaliza tożsamości imigrantów często skupia się na byciu pomiędzy, egzystowaniu między granicami, a także braku przynależności do żadnej z kultur. Grupa, która wydaje się uosabiać ten stan, to migranci z Republiki Dominikany w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Niniejszy artykuł podejmuje temat doświadczenia bycia pomiędzy, zawieszenia pomiędzy granicami i między dwoma krajami w wybranych tekstach współczesnych pisarzy dominikańsko-amerykańskich: powieści Krótki i niezwykły żywot Oscara Wao i opowiadania „Monstro” Junota Díaza oraz powieści Soledad Angie Cruz. Celem artykułu jest analiza doświadczenia bycia pomiędzy wyrażanego poprzez hybrydę, czemu służą narzędzia oferowane przez estetykę neobarokową, a także poprzez intertekstualność i realizm magiczny.
