Abstract:
This article analyses the use of the figure of Saint Anne and other biblical matriarchs for the promotion of Capetian Queens in the 13th century. The most interesting and precedent-setting case is that of Blanche of Castile (1188-1252), who used the great women of Sacred History to justify her position as regent and royal advisor. Her successors, Margaret of Provence (1221 - 1295) and Mary of Brabant (1254 - 1322), would continue the pattern of equating the lineages of the Kings of Israel and the Capet from a female point of view. The origin and evolution of this new image of power, and how motherhood and heraldry became its central themes, will be explored through the study of iconographic programmes, mainly present in their devotional books. El presente artículo analiza el uso de la figura de Santa Ana y otras matriarcas bíblicas para la promoción de las reinas capetas en el siglo XIII. El caso más interesante, y que marcará un precedente, es el de Blanca de Castilla (1188 – 1252), la cual usará a las grandes mujeres de la historia sagrada para justificar su posición de regente y consejera real. Sus sucesoras, Margarita de Provenza (1221 - 1295) y María de Brabante (1254 - 1322), continuarán con la pauta de equiparar los linajes de los reyes de Israel y el capeto desde un punto de vista femenino. A través del estudio de los programas iconográficos, presentes principalmente en sus libros devocionales, se abordará el origen y la evolución de esta nueva imagen del poder, y de cómo la maternidad y la heráldica se convertirán en sus ejes fundamentales.

Developed in the late 1800s as a butter substitute, margarine is made with vegetable oils. Margarine was created by a scientist from Provence (France) Hippolyte Mege-Mouries, in response to an offer by the Emperor Louis Napoleon III. To formulate his entry, Mege-Mouries used margaric acid, a fatty acid component isolated in 1813 by Michael Chevreul and named because of the lustrous pearly drops that reminded him of the Greek word for pearl - margarites.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT In an early book on Lydgate, Derek Pearsall was dismissive of Lydgate’s verse legend of Saint Margaret of Antioch. While perhaps of limited literary interest, the poem merits some claim to attention in its occurrence in the Devonshire Chaucer (New Haven, Yale Beinecke Library MS Takamiya 24). There it is paired with the Canterbury Tales in a context that has led to the suggestion that the manuscript might be the Canterbury Tales bequeathed by Lady Margaret Beaufort (1443–1509), Countess of Richmond and Derby, and mother of Henry VII, to her nephew of the half-blood, John St. John. This article refines the argument and offers an explanation for its early provenance in the Knyvett family. It explores the circumstances of the commissioning of Lydgate’s poem, and the context in which it might have circulated singly and been selected for adding to a manuscript of the Canterbury Tales, a context that reveals a network of family connections—Staffords, Hollands, Beauchamps, Beauforts, Knyvetts, and Bourchiers.

Abstract:
The aim of the article is to present numismatic collections from the Museum in Racibórz which have been found at municipal sites during supervision and regular archaeological excavations. This will allow us to observe which coins have come to Racibórz (germ. Ratibor) and (Upper) Silesia over the centuries. The analysed coins will be compared with finds obtained during excavations in other cities in Upper Silesia – Gliwice (germ. Gleiwitz) (the market square and St. George’s Church in Czechowice (germ. Schechowitz)) and Bytom (germ. Beuthen) (St. Margaret’s Hill) – and in the main centre in Lower Silesia, Wrocław (germ. Breslau) (Nowy Targ Square and St. Elizabeth’s Church). The study includes 76 coins acquired in the years 1979–2015 on 12 sites located within the borders of the city of Racibórz. This number includes the hoard of 17 Prague groschen of Wenceslas II, 56 single finds and three coin-like objects. In addition, two metal objects were included in the study which were discovered near the castle in the district of Racibórz – Ostróg. Both objects are difficult to identify, initially defined as a ring eye and a weight (monetary or merchant). The entire collection is dominated by Bohemian coins, including Prague groschen, parvus and white pennies. Silesian coins are the second largest group – three wide bracteates (unfortunately without provenance), a very rare Opava heller of Přemek I (1377–1433) and two groeschels of Ferdinand II (1617–1637). Moreover, two rare pennies of Sigismund III (1587–1632) struck in Poznań mint were found, which usually give way to pennies and ternarius struck in Łobżenica mint, which were not recorded in the collection from Racibórz. Considering all the coins in chronological terms, the dominant coins are late medieval ones – from the second half of the 13th century to the first half of the 15th century. The second concentration of Racibórz finds is from the 18th–20th century. A comparative analysis of coins discovered in Racibórz, Gliwice and Bytom and the hoard of Prague groschen from Błażejowice (germ. Blaschowitz) confirms the hypothesis of Borys Paszkiewicz that it was through Upper Silesia that Bohemian coins reached the territory of present day Poland. As a result, there is a significant number of small Bohemian coins in this area, with a smaller number to be found deeper within Poland.

Abstract:
The second joint congress of l’Association des Médicins Biochimistes du Québec (AMBQ) and the Canadian Association of Medical Biochemists (CAMB) was held this year from October 7 to 9 in Montreal. The setting was the picturesque Hôtel Place d’Armes, which is situated in the historic Old Montreal district. There were over 60 attendees comprising both Specialists and Medical residents-in-training and representing the breadth of Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The scientific committee composed of Dr. Jean. Dubé (Centre Hospitalier U. de Sherbrooke), Dr. Bernard Fruteau-de-Laclos (Centre Hospitalier AUQ), Dr. Élaine Letendre (Centre Hospitalier U. de Montreal), Dr. Bassam A. Nassar (Capital Health) and Dr. Claude Petitclerc (CHUM) arranged a series of informative and interesting scientific sessions. Day 1 saw a training session for the medical residents conducted by Dr. Yves Giguère (Centre Hospitalier de l’U. Laval) on Prenatal Screening. A meeting of the specialty committee of the Royal College for Medical Biochemistry followed this. A major topic of this meeting was the re-alignment of the training requirements. Day 2 began with the business meeting of the AMBQ. The scientific sessions began later that day with a session on “Pharmacotoxicology and the Role of the Laboratory” chaired by Drs. Andre Mattman (B.C. Children & Women’s Health Centre) and Bassam A. Nassar. The first speaker, Dr. Margaret Thompson (Hospital for Sick Children), in her talk “Clinical Toxicology – for the Laboratory” reviewed the role of the Ontario Poison Centre, which may serve as a model for the rest of the country. This was followed by Dr. Zulfikarali Verjee (HSC), who is clearly a master of the subject, with his talk, “Challenges in Urine Drug Screens: Ongoing Issues”. The morning session ended with Dr. Andre Mattman’s presentation “Heavy Metal Toxins – How and Why to Test in the Clinical Laboratory”. Day 3 moderated by Dr. Élaine Letendre (CHUM) focused on risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The first speaker in the morning was Dr. Jacques Genest Jr. (McGill University Health Centre) who reviewed the new Canadian guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemias. He described in detail the thinking behind the new guidelines. This was followed by a presentation by Dr. Allan Jaffe (Mayo Clinic) who gave the audience a most authoritative description of the soon to be introduced fourth generation high sensitivity assays for troponins. These assays will have a marked impact on the assessment of cardiac damage perhaps even more so than the original introduction of the troponins. The afternoon featured three speakers discussing the pro and cons of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein for the assessment of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Jean Grégoire (Institut de cardiologie de Montréal) presented the pro side of the debate reviewing in particular the recent Jupiter trial. Dr. James Brophy (MUHC) presented the con side of the debate in a most entertaining manner. He even had the audience performing stretching exercises! It was left to Dr. Jean Bergeron (CHUL) to provide a balanced view of the two preceding speakers. The last day, Day 4, was primarily dedicated to oral and poster presentations by the residents. A jury consisting of Drs. Jean Dubé (CHUS), Yves Guigère (CHUL), and Joël Girouard (CHUL) had the “difficult” task of awarding prizes to the best oral and to the best poster presentations. The winners this year were Dr. Alexis Blaass (U. de Montréal) for the oral presentation entitled “Characterization of a new LCAT mutation causing familial LCAT deficiency (FLD) and the role of APOE as a modifier gene of the FLD phenotype” and Dr. Adell Elsharif (McMaster U.) for the poster presentation entitled “Method Validation Study to Evaluate the Analytical Performance of the STAT–SITE Meter for the Measurement of Serum Beta-Hydroxybutyrate”. The scientific portion of the conference ended with a most comprehensive presentation on smoking cessation, both clinical approaches and therapeutics by Dr. Joanne Provencher (Hôpital Laval). Dr. Provencher reminded us that smoking cessation by an individual could be achieved with the correct support. The day and the congress ended with a business meeting of the CAMB chaired by the out going president, Dr. Bassam A. Nassar. A new executive was elected: Dr. Elizabeth MacNamara (SMBD-Jewish General Hospital, president), Dr. Yves Guigère (CHUL, vice-president), Dr. Andrew Don-Wauchope (McMaster U. Health Sciences Centre, secretary-treasurer), Dr. Andre Mattman (BCCWHC, councilor), Dr. Brian M. Gilfix (MUHC, councilor), Dr. John Heathcote (Vancouver, councilor), and Dr. Datlily Ooi (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, councilor), We all look forward to next year’s combined meeting which is again slated to take place in Montreal in October.

Abstract:
Le développement considérable de l'activité touristique hivernale et estivale entraîne des perturbations au niveau des principaux cours d'eau andorrans. Il est intéressant d'étudier l'impact de ces perturbations sur des réseaux hydrographiques de haute altitude caractérisés par des conditions du milieu particulières (basse température-forte pente). Les données disponibles concernant la physicochimie et la faune des eaux andorranes sont réduites (PUIG, 1979 ; PEÑA, 1983). Treize stations ont été étudiées dans le cadre de ces travaux. Au cours d'un cycle annuel (automne 1998 à automne 1999), huit prélèvements d'invertébrés benthiques ont été réalisés à chaque station à l'aide d'un filet Surber (vide de maille : 200 µm-surface échantillonnée : 1/ 20e m2). Neuf paramètres physicochimiques (température, pH, conductivité, DCO, DBO5, nitrates, nitrites, ammoniaque, phosphates) ont été mesurés de façon hebdomadaire à chaque station. Le traitement des données physicochimiques par analyses discriminantes révèle l'existence d'un gradient amont-aval de dégradation de la qualité de l'eau. Parallèlement, la qualité de l'eau suit un cycle saisonnier mis en évidence par l'opposition entre campagnes d'été et d'hiver-printemps 1999, d'une part, et campagnes d'automne 1998-1999, d'autre part. L'analyse de la répartition spatiotemporelle de la faune benthique, basée également sur des analyses discriminantes, met en évidence la disparition des taxons polluosensibles dans les stations intermédiaires et aval comme les filtreurs (Simuliidae), les prédateurs (Perlodae, Perlididae, Rhyacophilidae) et les fragmenteurs (Nemouridae, Leuctridae) et l'apparition de nouveaux taxons polluotolérants en aval (Chironomidae, Oligochètes). Ce genre de phénomène a déjà été observé dans d'autres cours d'eau de montagne soumis à des perturbations entraînant l'augmentation de la charge organique (DECAMPS et PUJOL, 1977). Ces taxons polluotolérants comme par exemple, les Oligochètes qui prolifèrent dans la zone aval du cours d'eau principal (Gran Valira) et en aval de l'unique station d'épuration située sur l'Ariège remplacent dans la structure trophique d'autres taxons polluosensibles. Ce phénomène s'observe également au sein d'un même groupe trophique, c'est le cas des prédateurs composés des Perlidae, des Perlodidae et des Rhyacophilidae présents dans les stations de haute altitude et qui disparaissent en aval où ils sont remplacés par les Achètes (Glossiphoniidae). Le calcul de plusieurs indices biologiques d'évaluation de la qualité des eaux (IBGN - BMWP), de richesse et de diversité spécifiques (indices de Shannon et de Margalef), de structure des peuplements (CUMMINS, 1979, 1985) met en évidence la diminution de la richesse et de la diversité spécifiques des stations amont vers les stations aval. L'impact du développement touristique se manifeste à partir des stations de moyenne altitude. Dans ces stations, la pollution est partiellement évacuée, chaque automne, par l'eau de bonne qualité en provenance des zones amont des cours d'eau. Ce phénomène se traduit par une grande variabilité des conditions physicochimiques et de la composition des communautés benthiques. Dans les stations aval, la pollution prend plutôt un caractère chronique suite à la concentration des pollutions en provenance des différentes zones perturbées. La variabilité des conditions du milieu et des assemblages faunistiques est donc moindre. Les résultats obtenus à partir du traitement des données physicochimiques et faunistiques mettent en évidence une dégradation de l'intégrité écologique des cours d'eau (modifications physicochimiques, modifications du peuplement, diminution de la diversité). L'impact des perturbations d'origine anthropique suit un cycle dépendant de la fréquentation touristique. Au cours de ce cycle, alternent deux périodes " critiques " caractérisées par des perturbations hivernales (ski) et estivales (tourisme, randonnées) et une période de " récupération " durant l'automne. Ces travaux ont permis de tester l'hypothèse des perturbations intermédiaires du milieu (CONNELL, 1978 ; RESH, 1988 ; TOWNSEND et al., 1997) et de rechercher les seuils d'intensité des perturbations et/ou l'amplitude de ces perturbations ainsi que leur impact négatif sur la composition faunistique (EDWARD et RYKIEL, 1985 ; PICKETT et al., 1989 ; REICE et al., 1990).

Abstract:
Marguerite de Provence (1221-1295) fut l'épouse du roi capétien, Louis IX, seul roi de France à avoir été canonisé. Fille aînée de Béatrice de Savoie et du comte de Provence Raymond Bérenger V, elle est aussi l'héritière d'une dynastie illustre de Catalogne et de Provence mais au regard du faible nombre de publications et de travaux sur sa personne, force est de constater qu'elle n'est pas considérée comme une des grandes figures féminines de la monarchie française. Ce sujet tend donc à s'insérer dans l'articulation privilégiée d'un thème en plein développement qu'est l'histoire des femmes et du genre, mais il veut aussi s'inscrire dans les perspectives actuelles d'anthropologie médiévale sur les fonctions des grandes dynasties princières. À partir de la diversité des sources recensées (diplomatique, épistolaire, iconographique, narrative et littéraire), trois axes de recherches se sont imposés. Le premier vise à retravailler la relation territoriale entre la Provence, terre d'Empire, le royaume de France et le comté de Savoie. En effet, les historiens ont abordé ces alliances essentiellement sous le prisme capétien, or des éclairages nouveaux peuvent être apportés lorsqu'on y incorpore l'influence catalano-provençale. Le deuxième axe est fondé sur les relations sororales qui seront un aspect important de cette thèse ; les liens de fraternité ont été jusqu'alors bien étudiés mais nous constatons peu de travaux sur la sororité. Or, les quatre filles de Raymond Bérenger V ont marqué l'histoire pour avoir épousé chacune un roi : Marguerite de Provence épousa Louis IX , Éléonore le roi d'Angleterre Henri III, Sanchie devint la femme de Richard, comte de Cornouailles proclamé par la suite roi des Romains ; enfin Béatrice fut mariée à Charles d'Anjou, frère de Louis IX qui devint roi de Naples et de Sicile. Marguerite de Provence se trouva donc à l'intersection de puissantes parentèles et de leur entourage dont elle pouvait se servir pour asseoir ses desseins politiques. Aussi la notion de réseau constituera une approche féconde. Enfin, dernier aspect envisagé le regard nouveau que peut offrir la personnalité de Marguerite de Provence sur l'étude de la fonction d'une reine de France au Moyen Âge. En effet, le silence de certaines sources contemporaines semble pesant, en particulier on peut se demander pourquoi l'action éclatante de la reine en Égypte lors de la croisade ne lui a pas valu une meilleure reconnaissance. Ainsi, sa personnalité a pu déranger et elle est à reconsidérer et à recontextualiser au prisme de la conception et de la coutume catalane. Dans ce contexte, l'absence et la rareté des informations sur sa personne peuvent refléter une volonté d'effacer son empreinte pour ne pas faire d'ombre à son royal et saint mari
Marguerite of Provence (1221-1295) was the wife of the capétien King, Louis IX, the only French king to have been canonized. Eldest daughter of Béatrice of Savoie and the Count of Provence Raimond Bérenger V, she is also the heiress of the illustrious dynasty of Catalonia and Provence but in view of the few publications and works on her person, it is clear that she is not considered as one of the great female figures of the French monarchy. This subject tends to fit into the privileged articulation of a theme in full development of what is women's history and of the kind but it could also fit into the current perspectives of medieval anthropology on the functions of the great princely dynasties. From the diversity of identified sources (diplomatic, epistolary, narrative and literary), three lines of research impose. The first aims to study the territorial relationship between the Provence, land of the Empire, the Kingdom of France and the County of Savoy. Indeed historians have addressed these alliances essentially under the capétien prism whereas new light can be thrown on the subject if we include the catalonien-provencale influence. The second is founded on the sororales relations which will be an important aspect of this thesis; the links of fraternity have been well studied up to now but we find little research on the sorority. It is to be noted that the four daughters of Raimond Bérenger V have marked history by the fact that they all married a king : Marguerite of Provence married Louis IX, Eléonore the English King Henry III, Sanchie became the wife of Richard, the Count of Cornwall , later named King of the Romans, lastly Béatrice was married to Charles d'Anjou, the brother of Louis IX who became the King of Naples and the two Siciles. Marguerite of Provence was therefore at the intersection of powerful parenteles and their entourage which she could use for her political ambitions. The notion of a network is also a fecund approach. Thirdly, the last aspect to be considered is the personality of Marguerite of Provence which casts a new look on the study of the functions of a Queen in the Middle Ages. Indeed, the silence of certain contemporary sources seems heavy, in particular we may wonder why the eclatant action of the Queen of Egypt during the crusade did not get better recognition. So her character may have disturbed and she should be reconsidered and recontextualised in view of the catalan conception and customs. In this context the absence and the scarcity of information on her character may reflect a will to destroy her influence and not to cast a shadow over her royal and saint husband

Abstract 2000–2007 A Brave New Century: In November 2000 a new kind of American president is elected from an old kind of American political dynasty. The seventh age of European security and defence is born. If Margaret Thatcher was famous not for turning, George W. Bush is famous for not compromising. American interest and the export of the American idea are to be the American way in a world divided neatly into friends and enemies. Beyond the endless ruminations of the chattering classes little attention is paid. American presidents always enter the White House with big ideas and, so the dictum goes, are rapidly forced by what former British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan called ‘events’ to live with the world as it is, not as they would like it to be. That truism is to be tragically proven, but not without struggle.

Abstract:
I want to begin with what some might cite as a characteristic move of the socialist intellectual in capitalist society: namely, biting the hand that feeds you. In the course of explaining to me the rejection by the National Endowment for the Humanities board of a highly-rated proposal for a Seminar for College Teachers, the NEH program officer wrote that “some reviewers were concerned that the focus on the canon, while doubtless an important issue for teachers of American literature, lacked the kind of scholarly significance generally expected of Summer Seminars. . . .” Pursuing this theme, he later wrote that my “application was rather more thesis-driven than most of our seminar proposals.” I discover everywhere signs of this division. On the one side, we find the supposedly pedagogical or professional problems raised by the question of the canon, and on the other side, what is lauded as “of scholarly significance” or, more simply, criticism or theory. In a recent “Newsletter for Graduate Alumnae and Alumni" issued by the Yale English Department, for example, Cyrus Hamlin ruminates “precisely how this procedure of hermeneutical recuperation” he is proposing “should affect the canon and the curriculum of our institution is difficult to say. . . .” and he proceeds to ignore the question (p. 2). In the same document, Margaret Homans suggests why he does so. “At Yale,” she writes . . . while post-structuralism has proven to be intellectually more unsettling than liberal humanism, the feminist versions of post-structuralism are institutionally more easily accommodated than some of the projects of liberal feminism, such as challenging the content of the canon we teach, with its vast preponderance of white, male authors (p. 4). . . . Interestingly, Homans here appropriates the project of canon revision solely to the domain of “liberal feminism,” a common enough way of trying to limit the scope of this intellectual movement to a supposed clique of uppity, middleclass women.
