Brennan, Brian. « 3 The Exigencies of Survival ». Canadian Theatre Review 57 (décembre 1988) : 24–27. http://dx.doi.org/10.3138/ctr.57.005.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Brennan: We both find ourselves in the same situation today. We have spent a long time commenting on theatre in this market for our respective media and now, for different reasons, we’re no longer doing that. You were doing arts reviews for the CBC when the local station went on the air in 1964, and I’m wondering if you felt back then that the CBC placed a certain importance on reviewing - if, perhaps, style was regarded then as less important than serious commentary?

Berger, Benjamin Lyle. « QOHELET AND THE EXIGENCIES OF THE ABSURD ». Biblical Interpretation 9, no 2 (2001) : 141–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/156851501300139282.
Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractThis article considers the Book of Qohelet in terms of its concerns and stylistics and with an eye towards the book's modern analogues. In particular, I look at the themes of toil and progress, time and memory, justice, and wisdom and knowledge while endeavouring to maintain the contradictory and self-negating dynamics of the text. Qohelet, I conclude, finds no ultimate good and no foundational principle in the universe. The declaration that all is judgement about the human experience of existence. Ours is not a world that admits human reason or responds to our longing for meaning-it is an absurd existence. Various stylistic strategies are employed in the text to support and sustain this message and these techniques combine to form a poetics of absurdity. The book is cast in an autobiographical voice, plays with the dynamics of aphorism and tautology, and, most significantly, builds itself around the poetics of contradiction. The text is engaged in a continual process of erasure whereby statements are made, explored, and then negated. I conclude by considering two modern analogues to the book of Qohelet, Albert Camus and Lev Shestov. These two thinkers parallel the book of Qohelet in both concern and style. They too find that the universe is infused with contradictions and does not bend to our longing for order and reason. Ultimately, all three sources convey a similar understanding of the human existential condition.

Kafle, Hem Raj. « People for Peace and Republic : A Fantasy Theme Reading of the Representation of ‘Nepalis’ in Movement-Time Editorials ». Molung Educational Frontier 12, no 01 (27 juin 2022) : 56–72. http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/mef.v12i01.45920.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Newspapers’ editorializing exigencies as a mere publication of spot news would not be enough. Editorials clarify, explain, interpret, or integrate the news based on events, incidents, situations, or trends. Events of and during political movements are the main subjects of newspaper editorials. Editorial coverage of everyday exigencies builds up and helps represent narratives of various actors directly or indirectly involved in the events. In the public texts in Nepal, including newspapers, ‘Nepali people’ feature as principal actors and participants in socio-political transformations. Through Fantasy Theme Analysis of editorials on political subjects, this article explores how The Kathmandu Post and The Himalayan Times covered ‘Nepali people’ as the participants, actors, and agents of political transformation during the people’s movement in 2005-2006. The article inductively concludes that with a principal rhetorical vision for establishing peace and republic, ‘Nepali people’ performed the agency of transformation in the country.

Boshego, L. P., et D. W. Lloyd. « G.H. Franz’s Modjadji : archetypes of time and the transcendence of history ». Literator 30, no 3 (16 juillet 2009) : 157–78. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/lit.v30i3.92.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This article examines the Northern Sotho play, “Modjadji”, written by G.H. Franz. The text, about which there is little significant critical literature, presents in mythological terms the quest of the Lobedu rain queen, Modjadji, for secure governance and release from the exigencies of history, both for herself and her people. Through staged ritual, the play evokes archetypes of time to raise a mythic consciousness. This ontology employs a notion of circular time to transcend linearity and its inexorable teleology. Ultimately, the text attempts to extract viable elements of traditional epistemology in order to accommodate its addressees to modernity.

Mazilu, Mirela, et Stefan Ispas. « The Exigencies of Environmental Protection against the Vulnerabilities of Natural Disasters ». Advanced Engineering Forum 13 (juin 2015) : 241–48. http://dx.doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/aef.13.241.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Motto: “We cannot prevent disasters ... What we hope to do is to be more proactive, to be better prepared so that we can react better, faster.” Winston Choo, 2006The exigencies of environmental protection must be concomitantly achieved both at micro and macroeconomic levels, at individual and national states and international communities’ levels. No matter the scale we refer to, there should be taken strict actions meant to modify the present tendencies of environmental deterioration in order to permanently maintain an equitable balance between satisfying the more and more diverse necessities of present society and protecting all components of environment. Although it is difficult or, in some cases, even impossible to establish their appearance within time and space coordinates, the majority associates them with the period of industrial revolution, because the man’s wish of a better, more sustainable life has uncontrollable effects on the environment, or the climate. Thus, the change with its multiple faces and components remains a priority for the protection of the environment and of the sustainable development, and people face the most important choice of their long history.One with paradigmatic values – having rational, ecologic, protectionist, emotional, educational valences – generated by the troubling metamorphoses like: the exhaustion of natural resources, “baby-boom” beyond any control, the ecologic unbalances, the inequality of chances when education, health and carrier are concerned.

Carillo, Ellen C. « What I Learned about Teaching while Teaching Mrs. Dalloway during the Pandemic ». Pedagogy 23, no 1 (1 janvier 2023) : 1–9. http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/15314200-10081942.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract This article recounts the experience of moving an in-person literature class online at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing comparisons between the novel Mrs. Dalloway, which the class was reading at the time, and the experience of the early days of the pandemic, the piece outlines how the exigencies of the pandemic led to revised teaching and assessment practices.

Simone, AbdouMaliq, et Solomon Benjamin. « Majority Urban Politics and Lives Worth Living in a Time of Climate Emergencies ». Social Text 40, no 1 (1 mars 2022) : 21–38. http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/01642472-9495089.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Majority lower-income and working-class districts in the Global South have long relied on an intricate interweaving of diverse practices. This has been complemented by strategic engagements with the ambiguities inherent in governing the dispositions of land and municipal services. These processes of majority-inflected urbanization are being substantially constrained both by the restructuring of urban rule and economy and by the exigencies of climate change. At the same time, there are often undue expectations that grassroots movements will be critical drivers of urban transformations capable of enduring climate change. But the collective actions of many low-income districts are seemingly indifferent to such expectations. Both the endurance of long-honed political practices and their substantive adjustments are explored here in order to revisit fundamental questions about how to generate lives worth living without valorization of the human.

Ekonomika poljoprivrede 68, no 1 (2021) : 53–67. http://dx.doi.org/10.5937/ekopolj2101053c.
Texte intégralRésumé :
European agriculture is the result and experiences of a numerous and md determinant reforms during last period of time. Labor productivity and green gas emissions represents two major turning points in analyzing the Common Agricultural Policy evolution. The main aim of this research is to make a synoptic analysis of the agriculture evolution in context of the new Common Agricultural Policy paradigm transformation from the perspective of sectorial structural changes determined by the new environmental exigencies and labor productivity.

Adediran, Yinka Oluranti, et Abiodun A. Oladiti. « Towards ‘New Normal’ Teaching-Learning for Quality Education : Media-Mediated Instruction Option ». WILBERFORCE JOURNAL OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES 5, no 2 (1 septembre 2020) : 76–90. http://dx.doi.org/10.36108/wjss/0202.50.0260.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The wave of changes pervading the global community presently has called for proactive measures in virtually all aspects of human endeavours to meet the exigencies of change and challenges coded new normal. Education and instructional delivery should therefore be global best practices compliant to give a country relevance among nations. Doing this successfully requires stakeholders in education to meet with the exigencies of the time. Since teachers are the drivers of the nation’s education programmes, they should be prepared to go beyond the traditional face-to- face (F2F) classroom setting. This requires being exposed to the rapid development in Information Communication Technology (ICT) and being able to cope with the challenges of the new normal in teaching. This is encapsulated in the media-mediated instruction that allows for the use of advances in various communication technologies in achieving educational goals which is the major reason of this study. This research therefore examines how, within the new normal, teachers can conduct effective teaching and learning, improve the quality of education, and the way forward for effective teaching and learning in the Arts and Humanities using media-mediated instructional tools.

Gravagne, Pamela H. « The magic of cinema : time as becoming in Strangers in Good Company ». International Journal of Ageing and Later Life 8, no 1 (13 septembre 2013) : 41–63. http://dx.doi.org/10.3384/ijal.1652-8670.12189.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This article examines the ability of cinema to alter our perception and experience of time and ageing by analysing the film, Strangers in Good Company, as an example of what Gilles Deleuze called a time-image film in his philosophy of cinema. By looking at the cinematic representation of time as culturally contingent and open to change, and the boundary between representation and reality as thin, Deleuze’s theorisation of time-image cinema presents us with a way of understanding time as a kind of magic that can free us to live and become rather than as a succession of equally metered, linear moments. The experience of the older women who ’’act’’ in this movie confirms Deleuze’s thinking, when their brief filmic reprieve from the exigencies of chronological and linear time spills over into their ’’real’’ lives, allowing them to move beyond static representations of old age that tie them to deteriorating bodies and negative identities into an open future of becoming.

Eubank, Nathan. « Prison, Penance or Purgatory : The Interpretation of Matthew 5.25–6 and Parallels ». New Testament Studies 64, no 2 (8 mars 2018) : 162–77. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0028688517000315.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Scholarship on Matt 5.25–6 has focused on the question of whether the saying offers mundane wisdom or threatens divine judgement, with the majority concluding that it refers to eternal punishment in hell. This article examines debt-prison and related phenomena before turning to the illuminating history of ancient interpretation. The article concludes that the ‘eternal damnation’ gloss widely favoured today is an overinterpretation first inspired by the exigencies of fourth- and fifth-century doctrinal controversy. Instead of eternal perdition, Matt 5.25–6 and its parallels suggest a time of straits followed by possible release.

Culbert, A., Nancy Cantelmo, Mary Stafford et D. Allan. « Interactive Videodisc as an Instructional Tool in Medical Education ». Methods of Information in Medicine 28, no 04 (octobre 1989) : 357–59. http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-0038-1636798.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract:At a time when medical educators are actively revising the undergraduate medical school curriculum to make it more responsive to exigencies ofthe 21st century, the use of interactivevide.odisc technology may well prove to be a significant addition. Using interactive videodisc technology may be instrumental in reducing the amount of a large lecture didactic learning and improving small group problem-solving sessions that better synthesize factual knowledge. It also provides important and valuable exposure to varieties of computer technology that play an increasingly important role in training and medical practice.

Pattemore, Stephen. « The Ever-Rolling Stream : How Time Subverts “Translation for” into “Journeying with” : Half a Century of Bible Translation in Urak Lawoi’ ». Bible Translator 73, no 1 (avril 2022) : 111–19. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/20516770211004682.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Bible translation in Urak Lawoi’ began with linguistic work in the late 1960s. The Gospel of Mark was first published in 1976 and the New Testament in 1998. The Old Testament, though almost complete, was still in the checking phase in 2018. Those raw data reveal time to be one of the primary players in the drama. Time has impacted the agency of translation and its purpose, its cultural context, and even its medium. But contrary to current efficiency-based presuppositions and product-oriented drive, the result is not all bad. In the process the task has become rather a journey where the companionship is as important as the goal. This paper reflects on the exigencies of time and cultural shift over half a century of Bible translation in Urak Lawoi’.

Holtmeier, Matthew. « The Modern Political Cinema : From Third Cinema to Contemporary Networked Biopolitics ». Film-Philosophy 20, no 2-3 (octobre 2016) : 303–23. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/film.2016.0017.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Political cinema, particularly third cinema of the 1960s and subsequently inspired films, often relies upon the formation and transformation of subjectivity. Such films depict a becoming-political of their characters, such as Ali LaPointe's transformation from bricklayer and boxer to revolutionary in Battle of Algiers (La battaglia di Algeri, Gillo Pontecorvo, 1966 ). As subjects are politicized, they reveal social, moral, existential, or ethical exigencies that drive the politics of the film. In this respect, most narrative-driven political cinema is biopolitical cinema, although its expression shifts from film to film, or from one period of time to another. Gilles Deleuze articulated such a shift in his two works on cinema, Cinema 1: The Movement-Image and Cinema 2: The Time-Image. Namely, he points to the breaking of the link between action and reaction that marks a shift from pre-World War II cinema to the postwar filmmaking environment. To update Deleuze's project on political cinema, this article posits another qualitative shift in political cinema stemming from the emergence of neoliberal economic policies and the growth of networked information systems from the 1990s to the present. This shift compromises earlier models of political cinema and results in a modern political cinema based on the fragmentation of political publics and the formation of new political exigencies. Two films set in Algeria will be used to document this shift in political modes, in a move towards the modern political cinema: Battle of Algiers and Outside the Law (Hors-la-loi, Rachid Bouchareb, 2010 ).

Jabłonka, Jarosław. « The analysis of exigencies of priority of crossing at intersections from the game theory's point of view ». AUTOBUSY – Technika, Eksploatacja, Systemy Transportowe 19, no 6 (7 septembre 2018) : 110–14. http://dx.doi.org/10.24136/atest.2018.047.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The assumption that each road participant adheres to the rules, ideally adapts his behavior to the prevailing road conditions, is unrealistic, and as the basis for taking action can lead to collisions and accidents. The article presents the theoretical models allowing to understand the behavior of drivers who deliberately enforce the priority of passing, and their only motivation is the shortest travel time through the intersection. Two types of situations at crossroads are considered: with guided and non-guided traffic with the STOP sign. The presented mathematical models are illustrated by the real-life recordings of drivers available on the Internet.

Nagasawa, Mark K., et Beth Blue Swadener. « Be/longing : Reciprocal mentoring, pedagogies of place, and critical childhood studies in the time of Trump ». Global Studies of Childhood 7, no 2 (juin 2017) : 207–21. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/2043610617703850.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This essay focuses on the important, but often taken-for-granted, roles that mentoring and collaborative inquiry play in rethinking childhood studies and situates our work in a time of resurgent racism and xenophobia in the United States—as well as invigorated movements to affirm human rights and social justice. It represents a co-mentoring dialogue, spanning over a decade, about the complexities of embodying critical, activist scholarship within dominant (White, Western, heteronormative, and Global North) assumptions about childhood, families, and communities. Our co-interrogation of these deeply encoded assumptions has been driven by a shared question of how to span the seemingly disparate discourse communities of critically engaged scholars and mainstream early childhood professionals in a variety of community contexts. These efforts have been guided by learning from Indigenous and Global South epistemologies and Black and Chicana/Latina/Mestiza feminisms. To illustrate what continues to be a reciprocal mentoring relationship, we use critical personal narrative to discuss key influences, literature, pedagogies of place, and exigencies of sustaining critical childhood studies movements in the current moment.

Sadran, Pierre. « Public–Private Partnership in France : a Polymorphous and Unacknowledged Category of Public Policy ». International Review of Administrative Sciences 70, no 2 (juin 2004) : 233–51. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0020852304044253.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Public–private partnership (PPP) is a very old reality in France, where, contrary to preconceived ideas, it has a central role in numerous sectors of public policy, notably at the local level. But the plasticity of the term ‘partnership’ has for a long time obscured the concept because of the diversity of forms which it may take. A PPP typology based on the profiles of actors concerned shows that partnership by itself does not create good governance, even if it provides a workable format for the contemporary exigencies of public policy. Good governance depends on the manner in which the actors make use of it and adapt it.

Qurban, Shafiq, et Husnul Amin. « Education Policies, Discourse of Ideology and the Construction of National Identity in Pakistan : A Critical Analysis ». Global Regional Review IV, no III (30 septembre 2019) : 1–9. http://dx.doi.org/10.31703/grr.2019(iv-iii).01.
Texte intégralRésumé :
National Governments have controlled education policy to construct national identity according to the agenda of the government of the time. Education policy promotes discourse of ideology to construct national identity. Islam has always influenced formulation of education policies in Pakistan. This article explores the impact of change in governments upon discourse of ideology in education policies in the construction of national identity. It is based on primary data collected from education policies of 1947, 1959, 1969, 1970, 1972, 1979, 1992, 1998 and 2009. Discourse analysis reveals the fact that governments in Pakistan have used divergent discourses of Islamic ideology. The discontinuity in discourse of Islamic ideology has obstructed nation-building resulting in identity crisis. This research suggests that governments should follow identical discourse of ideology in education policies for nation-building with exigencies of time rather than using divergent policies.

Texte intégralRésumé :
There is no denying the fact that education is the greatest tool to solve our problems. Education has been transformed from centuries in its form, levels, and format. Depending upon our needs and times, be it peace or exigencies (natural or human induced), educational pedagogies, assessment strategies, infrastructural provisions, student enrolment, faculty recruitment, finances, knowledge management and technology adoption, all have changed over a period of time. Such change in teaching and learning practices is constant. Flexibility of operations, rapidity of knowledge generation and transfer, creative practices and spatial arrangements have given rise to innovations in education. New pedagogies and technologies have opened up new possibilities. Students are offered new learning paths. This article discusses the innovations, challenges and opportunities as presented to us by the technology 4.0 for education 4.0.

Sica, Anna. « Chekhov's Poetic and Social Realism on the Italian Stage, 1924–1964 ». New Theatre Quarterly 24, no 4 (novembre 2008) : 363–78. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0266464x0800050x.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This article explores the introduction of Chekhov's plays to Italy through émigré circles in the first decades of the twentieth century, and traces how they were appropriated to suit the ideological exigencies of the time during the fascist period. It concludes with observations about Luchino Visconti's celebrated productions of the 1950s, which stressed the idea that Chekhov was first and foremost a political writer, and suggests how this particular view of the dramatist evolved in the early 1960s as the theatre once again reflected social attitudes and values. Anna Sica is a lecturer at the University of Palermo. She has published monographs in Italy on the commedia dell'arte (1997), Arthur Penn (2000), and theatre in New York (2005), as well as articles on Pirandello and contemporary Italian drama in various journals.

Koch, Angelika. « Nightless Cities : Timing the Pleasure Quarters in Early Modern Japan ». KronoScope 17, no 1 (28 mars 2017) : 61–93. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/15685241-12341370.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This article traces the time practices relevant to Edo-period pleasure-quarter life and business in eighteenth and nineteenth century Japan, discussing two time patterns that appeared in pleasure-quarter directories at the time: more long-term, loosely circumscribed stays based around diurnal rhythms of light and darkness, as well as more short-term transactions centered on units of time measured with incense sticks—two aspects of time that were central to the trade plied in the quarters, as I show. I argue that the sex trade is significant in that it provided a rare example of a service “paid by the hour” in early modern Japan, thus crucially also calling us to (re-)consider larger issues regarding the economic value of time within the early modern Japanese world of work and especially also its relationship to modern time and labor. I demonstrate how the exigencies of a certain trade required the elaboration of a set of time units and, where necessary, a system to measure and co-ordinate them, which ultimately points towards the existence of an abstract notion of time that commanded a certain price in early modern Japan. As such, the present paper serves to qualify narratives that mainly identify the commodification of time with Japan’s industrialization, modernization, and Westernization in the late nineteenth century, as well as with the dissemination of mechanical clock-time

Kößler, Reinhart. « Imperial skulduggery, science and the issue of provenance and restitution ». Human Remains and Violence : An Interdisciplinary Journal 4, no 2 (2018) : 27–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.7227/hrv.4.2.3.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This article explores the history of the Alexander Ecker Collection and situates it within the larger trajectory of global collecting of human remains during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This is then linked to the specific context of the genocide in then German South West Africa (1904–8), with the central figure of Eugen Fischer. The later trajectory of the collection leads up to the current issues of restitution. The Freiburg case is instructive since it raises issues about the possibilities and limitations of provenance research. At the same time, the actual restitution of fourteen human remains in 2014 occurred in a way that sparked serious conflict in Namibia which is still on-going four years later. In closing, exigencies as well as pressing needs in connection with the repatriation and (where possible) rehumanisation of human remains are discussed.

Lorraine, Tamsin. « Unfolding Life with Death : In Memoriam ». Deleuze and Guattari Studies 16, no 1 (février 2022) : 136–56. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/dlgs.2022.0469.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper explores how affirming events rather than substances, and difference rather than identities, might affect how one responds to life's exigencies, in particular the act of choosing when to end the life of a dog that was a beloved companion. The paper addresses the concepts of the event and the time of Aion as they are presented in The Logic of Sense, and examines the resonances these concepts have with a notion of learning presented in Difference and Repetition and a notion of essence presented in Expressionism in Philosophy: Spinoza. The argument is made that Deleuze presents us with a notion of death that is a part of the creative unfolding of life, and that affirming events rather than substances and difference rather than identities can give us insight into practical questions about how to live one's life.

Thomas, RobertLlewellyn, Anton Fries et Darryl Hodgkinson. « Plastic Surgery Pioneers of the Central Powers in the Great War ». Craniomaxillofacial Trauma & ; Reconstruction 12, no 1 (mars 2019) : 1–7. http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-0038-1660443.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Plastic surgical techniques were described in antiquity and the Middle Ages; however, the genesis of modern plastic surgery is in the early 20th century. The exigencies of trench warfare, combined with medical and technological advances at that time, enabled pioneers such as Sir Harold Gillies to establish what is now recognized as plastic and reconstructive surgery. The physicians of Germany, Russia, and the Ottoman Empire were faced with the same challenges; it is fascinating to consider parallel developments in these countries. A literature review was performed relating to the work of Esser, Lanz, Joseph, Morestin, and Filatov. Their original textbooks were reviewed. We describe the clinical, logistical, and psychological approaches to managing plastic surgical patients of these physicians and compare and contrast them to those of the Allies, identifying areas of influence such as Gillies’ adoption of Filatov's tube pedicle flap.

Tekle, Amare. « The Determinants of the Foreign Policy of Revolutionary Ethiopia ». Journal of Modern African Studies 27, no 3 (septembre 1989) : 479–502. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0022278x00020395.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The Foreign policy of Ethiopia, like that of other countries, is based on certain goals and values, and determinded by the dynamic interplay of domestic and external factors. Although its formulation has been clearly influenced by Marxist concepts about the nature of society and the alignment of forces in the world, there are elements of continuity as well as change, not least because Ethiopia has maintained its core values while playing an important rôle from time to time in the international arena long before the 1974 revolution. In other words, despite a shift in orientation, the central purpose of Ethiopia's foreign policy has remained the same, and a change in style has not brought forth a change in essence. Indeed, in some respects, the exigencies of a fast-changing international environment have been more significant than the replacement of the Emperor by the Dergue. It must be stressed that Ethiopian policy has been largely rigid, with adjustments being made only in response to certain fait accomplis that were outside the control of the decision-makers.

Ukić Košta, Vesna. « Irish Women’s Fiction of the Twentieth Century : The Importance of Being Catholic ». ELOPE : English Language Overseas Perspectives and Enquiries 11, no 2 (8 mai 2014) : 51–63. http://dx.doi.org/10.4312/elope.11.2.51-63.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper explores the ways in which some of the best and most representative Irish women fiction writers of the twentieth century responded to the exigencies of Catholicism in their selected works. It also attempts to demonstrate how the treatment of Catholicism in Irish women’s fiction changed throughout the century. The body of texts that are examined in the paper span almost seventy years, from the early years of the independent Irish state to the turn-of-the-century Ireland, during which time both Irish society and the Irish Catholic Church underwent fundamental changes. How these authors tackle the relationship between the dominant religion and the shaping of woman’s identity, how they see the role of woman within the confines of Irish Catholicism, and to what extent their novels mirror the period in which they are written are the main issues which lie in the focus of the paper.

Hale, Frederick. « Envisioning a Dystopian, Post-Christian Society in P. Anderson Graham’s The Collapse of Homo Sapiens ». Religion and Theology 28, no 1-2 (27 juillet 2021) : 83–104. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/15743012-bja10020.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract As one of many contemporary British dystopian novels, P. Anderson Graham’s 1923 The Collapse of Homo Sapiens envisaged Britain in the twenty-second century as a devastated society that has largely reverted to a primitive, non-Christian state. However, a remnant of the surviving population has memories of the religious dimensions of national life, helping them to cope with the exigencies of their meagre existence. A modest revival of the faith of their forebears ensues, which in turn triggers a reaction against the re-assertion of Christianity by nationalistic elements that regard it as too charitable a social force to fortify their efforts to revitalise British culture in a hostile geopolitical setting. The narrative perspective of the novel is critical of the truncated state of that religion in Britain in the 1920s and how this was failing to guide and inspire peoples’ lives at that time.

With the development of technology, implicitly of the fast and easy access to information, the requirements and exigencies of the customers have changed. The customer asks for much more information about a product before deciding to buy it, and a prompt response from the sales team will tip the balance decisively in favor of the seller. The success of an efficient sales team is represented by addressing to the right customers at the right time and in the right way. In the paper we analyzed how the Odoo program can be implemented within the sales-marketing department. Using specific modules, we followed the information flow of the marketing process, from market prospecting and to the registration in accounting of the invoices resulting from the orders made. We also presented the way in which marketing campaigns can be carried out, depending on the target group to which it is addressed.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Despite a strengthening of collective labor rights in Latin America over the last 15 years, most labor movements in the region have lost power because neither the content nor the enforcement mechanisms associated with the labor reforms fully took into consideration the challenges presented by economic restructuring. Reforms facilitating union formation did not strengthen unions but instead increased union fragmentation. Collective bargaining structures did not respond to the exigencies of international outsourcing; and the initial round of reforms in the 1990s did not contemplate the need to strengthen labor law enforcement mechanisms at a time when heightened international competition created a need for greater state vigilance of labor standards. Recent reforms or proposed reforms hold more promise for labor, but truly union-friendly labor relations regimes require deeper changes. A review of several Latin American cases is followed by a closer examination of Brazil and El Salvador.

Hansson, Gunnar Ólafur. « On the evolution of consonant harmony : the case of secondary articulation agreement ». Phonology 24, no 1 (mai 2007) : 77–120. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0952675707001121.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Consonant harmony involves long-distance featural assimilation, or agreement, of consonants across intervening segments. Current correspondence-based analyses of such sound patterns assume that they originate in the cognitive exigencies of articulatory planning, either synchronically, through the functional grounding of the constraints responsible, or diachronically, whereby processing factors incrementally shape the lexicon over time. This paper challenges the validity of this assumption as an all-purpose functional explanation for the full range of long-distance consonant agreement patterns by demonstrating that a variety of diachronic trajectories underlies their emergence and evolution. Focusing on the comparatively rare phenomenon ofsecondary articulation agreement, the evolutionary histories of three cases are examined: (labio)velarisation agreement in Pohnpeian (Oceanic), palatalisation agreement in Karaim (Turkic) and pharyngealisation agreement in Tsilhqot'in (Athabaskan). These histories provide explanations for a range of synchronic properties of the systems in question, some of which are problematic for restrictive typologies of consonant harmony.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract: Meter and Modernity both builds upon Eric Weiskott’s work in his 2016 monograph English Alliterative Verse: Poetic Tradition and Literary History (Cambridge University Press) and expands the focus from the metrical history of literature across alleged periods, in this case the early and high Middle Ages, to a historiographical approach centered on literary form as a parallel marker of time alongside, within, and across literary, sociocultural, regnal, and event-driven periodization. Weiskott proceeds from the observation that the boundaries of modernity impose restrictions not only on the literary-historical understanding of texts and genres, but also on scholars and the exigencies of our fields themselves in an age of increasing contingency and justification. While critiques of periodization are numerous and varied, the relatively recent growth of a type of apologetics in Medieval Studies vis-à-vis the extremes of an overreliance or complete rejection of difference from modernity that simultaneously seeks to recapture premodern generic and formal readings obfuscated by modern lenses is most welcome.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper details disruption and innovation in digital evaluation practice at Movember, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper examines a men’s digital health intervention (DHI) – Movember Conversations – and the product pivot that was necessary to ensure it could respond to the pandemic. The paper focuses on the implications of the pivot for the evaluation and how the evaluation was adapted to the COVID-19 exigencies. It details the redesign of the evaluation to ensure methods wrapped around the modified product and could deliver real-time, practical insights. The paper seeks to fill knowledge gaps in the DHI evaluation space and outlines four key principles that support evaluation re-design in an agile setting. These include a user-centred approach to evaluation design, proportionate data collection, mixed (and flexible) methodologies, and agile evaluation reporting. The paper concludes with key lessons and reflections from the evaluators about what worked at Movember, to support other evaluators planning digital evaluations.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In 2006, as part of a national regional-arts conference, I attempted to bring together health care workers with an interest in caring for performing artists. The plan was to gather in symposium, to share ideas and expertise, and inaugurate a network of practitioners across Australia. It was a good idea—at least I thought so at the time, and the generous experts who agreed to participate for free also seemed to think so. However, the exigencies of mounting a symposium in a regional city, in a field hitherto never organised in this country, with no finance, and only one assistant (albeit very capable!—Marilyn Bliss—to whom I am forever grateful) proved too much. After much lost money and sleep, and with a feeling of crushing defeat, I cancelled the project. As sometimes happens, the momentum has continued. From that quixotic project has grown a new organization, the Australian Society for Performing Arts Healthcare (ASPAH).

Texte intégralRésumé :
This essay interrogates what can be described as Yorùbá population philosophy, within the context of Yorùbá existential thought, and the effects it has on Nigeria’s population explosion. The essay explores the seemingly contradictory proverbs that both vindicate and vilify the act of giving birth to many children. The essay further connects this traditional Yorùbá wisdom to contemporary procreative practices of Yorùbá Christians and Muslims, and their interpretations of scriptural injunction to be fruitful and multiply. I then argue that if Nigeria’s lackluster policy on population is taken into consideration, the implications of the Yorùbá, as well as other ethnic groups’, population philosophy will not only aggravate the Nigerian postcolonial predicament, but will eventually explode the population time bomb already ticking in Nigeria. The essay recommends that given the existential complexities attached to giving birth to a child, together with the demographic exigencies on Nigeria’s national predicament, marriage ought to be strictly regulated and limited to those with the capacity for sustainability.

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractInternational human rights law abhors a legal black hole. It applies wherever a State exercises its jurisdiction, not only in peacetime but also during armed conflict, as a compliment to humanitarian law. The deprivation of liberty is subject to certain conditions, and even initially lawful detention becomes arbitrary and contrary to law if it is not subject to periodic review. Indefinite detention is incompatible with Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. While temporary derogation from this provision is allowed in Article 4 of the ICCPR, such derogation is only possible “in time of public emergency which threatens the life of the nation” and “to the extent strictly required by the exigencies of the situation” Persons deprived of their liberty are entitled to a prompt trial or release, and in cases of arbitrary detention, they are entitled to compensation. Neither the war on terror nor restrictive immigration policies justify indefinite detention.

Texte intégralRésumé :
A new public project usually provides economic benefits to property owners. In general, a delay caused by a government budget shortage proportionally reduces the future cash flow of the private developer potentially benefitted from a new public project. Based on that eventuality, this study examines a mechanism of willingness to pay, which asks private developers to voluntarily participate in sharing the budget shortage. This participation process is investigated by applying system dynamics, which demonstrate several causal loops, such as between the delay cause and the reaction of the private developer. In spite of difficulty in predicting the actual effect of this idea due to its conceptual origin, this innovative approach can contribute to real-world exigencies in two ways: the provision of background for research on the on-time completion of public projects via private developer cost-sharing participation and the illustration of an alternative that minimizes private developers’ future revenue deduction caused by delays.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract. Italy, situated prominently middle of the Mediterranean Sea, has been confronted with migration and refugee issues for a long time. Within the European migration system it is a telling example of the way the issue of migration is dealt with more generally. After a prolonged phase of ignoring the existing exigencies of integration and regulation of the already present migrants on the territory, the country experienced a peak of arrivals of migrants on its coastlines in 2015/16. Since then, numbers of in-migration have been decreasing. Still, in the public discourse the idea of an invasion, e.g. mass immigration, continues. For many years the SPRAR system had contributed to tackling a situation of crisis by involving civil society and by reaching out for solutions beyond management. The article emphasizes that the migration crisis can be understood only when taking into account different realities and expectations. It further presents the case study of Genoa. Here, the crisis is mastered by normalisation and local action.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The emergence of market-oriented economies in eastern and central Europe has produced an extensive debate on institutional transfer. Whilst it is generally recognized that new regulatory systems are being created out of a de facto consensus between unions, employers and government, less is known about the firm-specific organizational ramifications of such changes. This case study examines the interplay between institutional constraints and management decision making in the organization of production and work in two recently privatized Hungarian clothing manufacturing firms. We focus upon managerial action and the implementation of strategy; specifically on how managers have sought to re-shape the organization of production in an attempt to meet the market exigencies of a changing global production system in apparel. We show contrasting ways in which firms have sought to introduce new production paradigms that emphasize quality, cost and productive efficiencies, arguing that even where firms have more resources than others, efforts to restructure time discipline amongst workers are not necessarily successful.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The need to replan arises in many applications. However, in the context of planning as heuristic search, it raises an annoying problem: if the previous plan is still executing, what should the new plan search take as its initial state? If it were possible to accurately predict how long replanning would take, it would be easy to find the appropriate state at which control will transfer from the previous plan to the new one. But as planning problems can vary enormously in their difficulty, this prediction can be difficult. Many current systems merely use a manually chosen constant duration. In this paper, we show how such ad hoc solutions can be avoided by integrating the choice of the appropriate initial state into the search process itself. The search is initialized with multiple candidate initial states and a time-aware evaluation function is used to prefer plans whose total goal achievement time is minimal. Experimental results show that this approach yields better behavior than either guessing a constant or trying to predict replanning time in advance. By making replanning more effective and easier to implement, this work aids in creating planning systems that can better handle the inevitable exigencies of real-world execution.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Due to their heavy reliance on late, contradictory, and tendentious literary sources, scholars of formative Islam have always been in danger of taking as authentic evidence what is mere literary topos. Adopting a form-critical methodology that includes both classic and “new” approaches to the accounts of the al-Rajīʿ and Biʾr Maʿūna expeditions, this article strives to reveal the literary devices deployed in the sources and to demonstrate the motivations behind their utilization. It will argue, using the classic form-critical method, that reports about the al-Rajīʿ and Biʾr Maʿūna raids reflect far more about the circumstances of their composition and redaction than about first/seventh-century Arabia. Motivated by second/eighth-century tribal feuds, many components of these narratives owe their existence to later modifications and adornments that were retrojected to the time of the Prophet Muḥammad. We shall, furthermore, see that by the third/ninth century, when tribal motivations ceased to be amongst the prime socio-political exigencies of the time, new incentives emerged for the transmission of these narratives, which can be uncovered through implementation of “new” form criticism.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Although the issue of identity has been a concern since the dawn of time, the globalizing drive has triggered more interest in the phenomenon, quite often leading to geopolitical and social crises. As a matter of fact, with the advent of a new age of glocalization—generally characterized by its deterritorializing tendencies—identity construction has proven to be fraught with a number of fragmentations, only to suggest that our understanding of how our identities are co-construed is still way too far to be accounted for in its entirety. This study argues that identity is a process of becoming rather than being, and it is thus formed in compliance with the exigencies of each and every time. While accompanied in theoretical perspectives, the study attempts to lay bare the different processes involved in one’s identity construction as it has been negotiated in the “pre-modern,” “modern,” and now “(late-)post-modern” ages. Such genealogical perspective paves the way to uncover the contentions inherent in the phenomenon, especially as we are nearing times where the blend of the local and the global has been exacerbated today more.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This forum has come about through a series of conversations and discussions over a period of time in 2021-2022. Our ambition was to bring together scholars from different disciplines and perspectives, hoping for mutual curiosity and dialogue. We invited the participants to the forum to consider the following question:
“How can we understand the complex and often contradictory ways through which sexualities and capital are related to, shaped by, and constitutive of each other?”
Due to restrictions and exigencies of the corona situation together with time zone obstacles, the conversation had different modes. The fi rst part of the forum consisted of an online video-recorded conversation between M.E. O’Brien, Nat Raha and Grietje Baars. The conversation was moderated by Liu Xin and Mathias Klitgård. Laura Horn provided editorial support. Jin Haritaworn and Lisa Adkins then kindly sent their contributions to this conversation in writing. What you will read in the following is hence a conversation across three continents, which mixes synchronous and asynchronous elements, and which aims to show the strengths but also divergences and open questions in these different engagements.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Globalization generated advanced competitive schemes that forced human beings and companies to take new initiatives in order to face the new business models that are being developed. A new scheme, model or strategic tool is the Cluster, which helps companies, governments and the community in general to have an opportunity to compete at a global scale. The document presented below is a theoretical-conceptual overview, taking as a reference the contributions that have been made to the cluster concept: The globalization of the economy has been consolidating over time and the way the regions accept it as a strategy for competitive development. The constitution of clusters is not a fashion, it is a local development trend, which seeks to penetrate globalized markets, but with the conviction that it cannot be achieved in ""solitary"", so that the ""collectivity"" of sectorial business efforts, becomes the alternative for the formation of the cluster and thus be able to effectively meet the exigencies of globalization. Therefore, this paper focuses on conceptual development around clusters and globalization, from different chronological views of development.

Texte intégralRésumé :
An essential component of a programme for structural readjustment is a reform of the taxation system so that it supports the basic thrust of the reform package. Although the system of taxation in Pakistan is supposedly based on the principles of equity and has a progressive character it has not actually functioned in this manner. This is so because the system has evolved as a result of changes made at different moments in time in response to the exigencies of the government’s revenue needs and the pressures exerted by different lobbies. The attempt to use the taxation system to serve a variety of social and economic objectives has created distortions and made the structure rather complex and non-transparent, thereby weakening its potency as a revenue generation instrument, while adding unnecessarily to costs. The structure is, therefore, characterised by direct taxes not being paid by those who should be paying them, indirect taxes being largely paid by those who are otherwise considered too poor to pay taxes and subsidies and exemptions being cornered by those who should not get them.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Application of international law should be a regular practice of courts and other State authorities. Before applying international law, one should take a number of preliminary steps, such as verifying whether international treaty is in force, whether the matter falls within its scope of application resolving possible conflict with domestic law and checking for the practice and interpretations issued by the competent international authorities. The mere technique of application of international law is very similar to the application of domestic law, meaning that preciseness and clear rules of reasoning are required each time one is deciding on the basis of international law. In this paper, the author uses the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees by way of example, but similar questions could be raised concerning the application of any other international treaty. A large number of treaties that are binding on our State show that it is very important to be familiar with conditions and technique of application of international law, to ensure that neither the international responsibilities of our State nor the exigencies of the domestic legal system are impaired.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Advertising and other promotional decisions are influenced by the nature of the target market, as well as which media vehicles are within the financial reach of the small-business owner and how effective they are in reaching the target market. Though considerable research has been conducted about the value of advertisements in general, little is known about the relative effectiveness of suburban and urban papers and radio stations in reaching the specific target markets of small business retailers. Because of financial exigencies and the need to produce results within a reasonable period of time, the appropriate use of media vehicles is of paramount importance for small retail outlets. To assess the effects of various media vehicles on different market segments, a study was accomplished in selected urban and suburban communities. Findings from this study indicate that, although the aggregate measure of readership of major dailies is high across urban and suburban dwellers, the relative influence and effectiveness of urban dallies, suburban weeklies and radio stations tend to differ among communities.

Texte intégralRésumé :
COVID-19 has shone a harsh light on the extent of poverty in Canada. When normal economic activity was interrupted by the exigencies of public health driven lockdowns, the shutdown disproportionately affected people who, before the pandemic, were living on incomes beneath the poverty line or dependent upon low-paying hourly remunerated jobs, usually part time and without appropriate benefits. Those living beneath the poverty line in Canada, three million of welfare poor and working poor, include a disproportionately large population of Black and Indigenous people and people of colour. This paper addresses the challenge of inclusive economic recovery. In particular, we propose that the federal government introduce a Basic Income guarantee for all residents of Canada as part of a comprehensive social safety net that includes access to housing, child care, mental and physical health care, disability supports, education, and the many other public services essential to life in a high-income country. Residents with no other income would receive the full benefit that would be sufficient to ensure that no one lives in poverty, while those with low incomes would receive a reduced amount.

Polymers 14, no 9 (23 avril 2022) : 1726. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/polym14091726.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), the most widely followed healthy diet in the world, are principally due to the presence in the foods of secondary metabolites, mainly polyphenols, whose healthy characteristics are widely recognized. However, one of the biggest problems associated with the consumption of polyphenols as nutraceutical adjuvant concerns their bioavailability. During the last decades, different nanotechnological approaches have been developed to enhance polyphenol bioavailability, avoiding the metabolic modifications that lead to low absorption, and improving their retention time inside the organisms. This review focuses on the most recent findings regarding the encapsulation and delivery of the bioactive molecules present in the foods daily consumed in the MedDiet such as olive oil, wine, nuts, spice, and herbs. In addition, the possibility of recovering the polyphenols from food waste was also explored, taking into account the increased market demand of functional foods and the necessity to obtain valuable biomolecules at low cost and in high quantity. This circular economy strategy, therefore, represents an excellent approach to respond to both the growing demand of consumers for the maintenance of human wellness and the economic and ecological exigencies of our society.

Texte intégralRésumé :
As portrayed in The Alchemist, Ben Jonson's London grappled with the challenges of a burgeoning urban life and its effects on morality and consumption. While using his authorship as lectern was not unique, Jonson's message, that the order of improving one's status stood to be perverted, was; and in featuring the local preoccupation with alchemy and the apocalypse, he revealed the corrupt and toxic relationship between the city's economic and religious zeal. Martin Luther's sixteenth century idea of a new religion called for man's return to his covenant with God and to simple faith. By Jonson's time however, London faced an additional battle from within, as extreme religion gained ground. Because the play was coterminous with Jonson's audience's lives, they were well-aware that pure-Protestants provoked anxieties to gather believers. In straining to escape their present and to a future marked by heavenly expectations, Jonson's characters evoked his contemporaries’ desires to address their own exigencies. By capturing his audience's attention referencing popular current events, Jonson created a stage for his greater concern, that faith in economic as well as religious transcendence exposed his milieu to divisive radicalism and victimization.
