KeyWords: parks; landscape research; design of seats; bionics design Abstract: Landscape is an important ingredient of city parks, so the design of seats in the parks integrated with the city landscape serves as an innovative inspiration for the design of the specific product. With the research of the landscape design and park seats, this project proposes flower as the developing form of the park seats, with the lily as the final design choice for a new seat in the parks. The specific structural forms of the seats are designed in accordance with the characteristics of lily, and the materials for the seats are chosen based on the park seats and bionics design. An integration of landscape and bionics in this design brings an innovation for the design of the landscape and seats in the parks.

Full textAbstract:
The article is an attempt to study the semantics of floronyms мак / poppy in the Ukrainian and English languages. It focuses on the study of the inner form of idioms and paroemias that have the analysed component-flower as a part of their structure. Universal characteristics of the semantics of the given floronyms have been researched. Specific national features of the semantics of the analysed floronyms are singled out for both languages under research. The concepts that are phraseologically actualized in the Ukrainian and English languages due to the semantic components of floronyms мак / poppy have been deduced. Metaphoric meanings of the floronyms under analysis that serve as constituents in idiomatic units and paroemias of the contrasted languages have been scrutinized. Cultural significance of the flowers poppy / мак has been revealed for both linguocultures. Symbolical meanings of the analysed floronyms have been examined in the Ukrainian and English linguocultures.

The aim of this research to get a picture of the prolific bud leaves, flowering in the framework of the formation of harvest fruit Siam. Shoots are produced from cultured vegetative vegetation, I e without going through a marriage process because it comes from one parent. The critical point of the formation of the fruit is largely determined by the flowering formation process. Environmental factors and nutritional and hormonal activity in the plant and environmental factors that influence flowering are a mineral nutrient balance, temperature, sunlight intensity and photoperiod. The study was conducted from March to November 2017, in Seming Village, Kerta District, Gianyar Regency of Bali Province. The research is descriptive so there is no special treatment given to the samples. The research is done by the descriptive method that is continuous research so that there is a thorough knowledge about the horticultural cultivation problem of tropical fruit, especially the citrus fruit so that the physiology science of flowering and flowering is obtained in relation get the fruit of the harvest. The citrus varieties used in this research are Siamese orange varieties that have been 6 years old. The number of samples observed as many as 10 plants with the observation of the shoot formation period with the observation once every two days, the percentage of leaf buds, the period of leaf buds, the number of buds that developed. The results showed that the cultivation of Siam plant experienced shoot growth period during one phase of growth 3 times in one period of growth. There are 4 stages of a period of replanting that is 1). Early budgets, 2), full repayment, 3) adult mating and 4) dormancy repayment. Description of flowering development process until the formation of blossom flowers there are 5 important stages traversed by citrus plants are: 1) flower induction, 2) initiation of flowers, 3) development of flower buds towards an thesis, 4) blooming flowers 5) pollination and conception. Siam citrus plants reach the stage of reproductive development, with some or all apical meristem shoots on the branches stop producing leaves and start forming the flower parts according to the typical sequence in the formation of broad flowers apical meristem gradually decreases as the flower parts are formed in sequence. The order of the formation of the flower parts on the citrus plant lasts from the inside out, starting from sepals. Petals, stamens, and pistils. Citrus plant reaches the development stage of reproductive development with a mark of some or all of the apex buds on the branches stop producing leaves and begin to forming parts of the flower according to the typical order. In the formation of broad flowering apical meristem gradually diminishes when the flower is formed in sequence. The sequence of the formations of the flowers on the planting of Siam citrus plant from outside to inside that is ranging from sepal, petal, stamens, and pistils. In contrast to vegetative growth such as the formation of leaves that meristem apex widened again during a period of development.

Full textAbstract:
Balinese Hindu community cannot be separated from plant in their life. The information on plant species and how to utilize them are easy to find but limited information about the potency of flowers in the Balinese Hindu community. Flowers have a meaning as sincerity, a symbol of Sang Hyang Widhi, the valour, and also have mythological values. This research aimed to determine the species of flowering plants that are often used for ceremonial and understand the meaning, the cultural conception related to conservation education. The study was carried out in four locations in Tabanan Regency (Baturiti, Penebel, Marga, and Tabanan). Data were collected using an interview with purposive sampling. Data analysis based on the value of Relative Frequency (FR) which is indicated plant most widely used. Â A total of 36 species of flowers are used in traditional Hindu religious ceremonies, of which 29 species are cultivated plants and 7 species are still wild. There are ten of plants which have high FR value, such as: Cananga odorata (FR 0.069), Impatiens balsamina (FR 0.069), Hydrangea macrophylla (FR 0.069), Plumeria acuminata (FR 0.069), Tagetes erecta (FR 0.069), Magnolia champaca (FR 0.069), Gomphrena globosa / bunga ratna (FR 0.047), Gardenia jasminoides / jempiring (FR 0.039), Nymphaea spp./ tunjung (FR 0.030), and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L./ pucuk (FR 0.030). This research revealed the role of flower in Hindu ceremony and describe the strategic plant conservation due to culture of Balinese Hindu community. Finally, this research expected to documented local knowledge about flowers used as Hindu religious ceremonies, to provide an understanding of the meaning and conceptions of culture related to conservation education.

Full textAbstract:
The main genetics of development conception is differential genes expression for different types of cells in developed organisms. That is correct for higher plants, too. Otherwise, all the higher plants, in comparing to animals, are characterized by some unique traits. The main of them is a strong cell wall leading to the immobility of organism, so plants chose principally different life strategy, connecting to the adaptation. Sequencing of several plant genomes revealed that there are much more genes involved in plant morphogenesis than in animal are. The main of plant morphogenesis genes are MADS-genes, the place and the level of expression of them define unique features of morphogenesis. Some data confirmed that expression of some transcription factors is under epigenetic control. It means that RNA plays a key role in the regulation of the main genes in development. So, the absence of homeosis gene AP2 expression in inner мутовках of develop flower is a result of active miRNA172 gene expression in that regions. The genetic, molecular and biochemical basis of the action of the MADS domain proteins in the plant life cycle are reviewed here. Moreover, in this reviewer, we focus on examples of signaling and gene regulation, where striking progress has been made in recent years.

Full textAbstract:
Much of the South African poet Breyten Breytenbach's work has been concerned with borders. In this article I examine borders and creolization in three important poems from Nine landscapes of our time bequeathed to a beloved (Nege landskappe bemaak aan 'n beminde, 1993), Paper flower (Papierblom, 2002) and The wind-catcher (Die windvanger, 2007). The link between creolization and boundaries is the poet's conception of identity and freedom. As is often the case the boundaries of the self are questioned as the poet permutates the central concepts. Crossing boundaries entails entering into dialogue not only with the self but also with the mother tongue itself and with a variety of other artists and writers. In other words, in Breytenbach's work an abrogation and appropriation of the own tradition ("erfgoed") as well as of material from others, other places and other traditions occur. In these three case studies in particular it is clear how the poet stretches and deforms boundaries as part of his poetic project to concretize a dynamic freedom.

Full textAbstract:
On the first page of Glas Derrida writes in the left column that “This” is a legend, not a fable. “This” could be that or this pronoun. It could be Hegel's signature, Sa signature referred to a few lines earlier, Hegel's corpus, also referred to earlier, what Derrida is in the course of writing, and much else. Not Hegel's whole corpus, however, but two passages: the religion of flowers and the phallic column of India. On each page there are two columns. The right column has to do especially with Jean Genet, especially with Genet's writing about flowers, especially the flower of the broom, genêt; but genêt is also a common noun for a kind of Spanish horse. In other words, the religion of flowers and its role as an introduction to the religion of animals are in play also in the right column. And just as the right column plays on the possibilities of taking a mark as a proper and a common name, so too does the left column, for example on the chances of hearing the name of the eagle in the name of the philosopher when these names are pronounced à la française. So pronunciation has an important part in this. But reading has an important part in pronunciation, legein in logos. The fable thought of as pure thought without mark, immaculate conception, is at stake in Glas. “Glas” means the voice that speaks, as “fable” is from fari, to speak. So is the reader about to discover in Glas something that sticks in the throat of the Hegelian system, resisting digestion there, a materialism of the idea that resists Aufhebung to absolute knowledge? Or is Derrida lifted thither in the eagle's talons? For does not the dialectic thrive on resistance? Would it not be a bad reading of Hegel's text that failed to comprehend this? But What would it mean not to comprehend (Hegel) the text Sa ? If it is a matter of a finite failure, the failure is in advance included, comprehended in the text. If it is a matter of an infinite fault or lack, one would have to say that Sa does not think itself, does not say itself, does not write itself, does not read itself, does not know itself, which no longer means anything, by definition. Sa always ends by being full, heavy, pregnant with itself.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents an interpretation of Plotinius’ concept of eternity, which is defined in his treatise On Eternity and Time III.7 [45] as the “life of being.” The textual and philosophical analysis of a number of related passages from Plotinus’ Enneads concludes that the description of eternity as the life of being is neither metaphorical nor analogical. It should be understood in a technical philosophical sense, which contains direct metaphysical and phenomenological implications. Life is not an effect of intelligible reality but an ontological condition, the limit, source of activity, background for the identity of Intellect. The life of being is not identical with partial aspects of the intelligible universe, but is implied and covered by them. In the context of the Plotinian noetics, the notion of life expresses the wholeness of being in its totality—this is applicable not only to the life of intelligible being, but also true for the life of Soul, which assumes the totality of Soul’s time. Life is recognizable and experienced by living and existing beings on the basis of common liveliness and their common ontological status, so life establishes, develops and intensifies the connection of our own being with eternity via eternal in us. There are notable functional similarities between the Plotinian concept of eternity as the life of being and the image of Aion as reconstructed from fragments of Chaldean oracles—a mystical philosophical text widely read by later Neoplatonic philosophers, albeit never openly referred to by Plotinus. The comparative analysis and philosophical interpretation of the Plotinian and Chaldean concepts and images related to eternity suggest that both the sources maintain similar metaphysical roles of mediation, the transfer of unifying and animating light, causing the motion of reality. It is also significant that the Plotinian parallelism of eternity and “eternal in us” is comparable to the Chaldean image of “flower of the mind,” which is described both as a metaphysical attribute of Aion and as a specific power of Soul, which could be used by a person to acquire knowledge of divine reality.

Full textAbstract:
The 2011–2012 Arab Spring posed an existential threat to the Gulf Cooperation Council’s six monarchies. A major response was the 2012 GCC Internal Security Pact, an innovative project to enhance cross-border repression of domestic opposition and thus bolster collective security. Yet despite its historic weakness, ongoing domestic unrest, and initial enthusiasm for the agreement, Kuwait’s monarchy did not ultimately ratify the accord. Building on theories of foreign policy roles and identity, this article presents an ideational explanation for this puzzle. The Security Pact failed because it sparked identity contestation. For many Kuwaitis, the prospect of the Sabah monarchy imposing this scheme for greater repression was incompatible with the regime’s historical role of tolerating domestic pluralism and protecting Kuwait from foreign pressures. This role conception of a tolerant protector flowed from historical understandings and collective memory and was cognitively tied to a national self-conception of “Kuwaiti-ness.” The mobilizational scope and symbolic power of this popular opposition convinced the regime to acquiesce, despite possessing the strategic incentive and resources to impose the treaty by force. The Kuwaiti case therefore exemplifies how domestic contestation over regime identities and roles can constrain foreign policy behavior, even in authoritarian states facing severe crises of insecurity.

Full textAbstract:
Fedir Potushniak’s works were closely connected to historical and cultural tendencies of literary process of the late 19th – early 20th centuries and therefore reflected Modernism in its European and particular Ukrainian patterns, especially in its transcendental aspect concerning the metaphysical nature of human being. Thus the literary works by Fedir Potushniak require a study that takes into account philosophical ideas of his epoch.
Fedir Potushniak created his own philosophical conception considering human existence in connection with its spiritual aspect. The writer’s attempt of uncovering the transcendental sense of things is a peculiar feature of both his lyrics and prose. The paper interprets Potushniak’s short stories in the light of his philosophical understanding of metaphysics. Philosophical and aesthetic approach to the analysis of text involves using hermeneutical and aesthetic research methods.
Images, symbols, time and space variations and other literary details in the works by Fedir Potushniak have been examined with regard to the metaphysical nature of human being and the motif of search reflecting the way of the characters to perceiving their own life and art. A special accent has been made on the issue of human being in the writer’s short stories. The aim of search for magic things such as buried treasure, fire, stone, flower, leads the characters to happiness, prompting them to realize their own spiritual roots beyond time and space. Looking for their dream the characters of Potushniak’s stories pass the inner way of spiritual formation. Interpretation of short stories by Fedir Potushniak with regard to their philosophical background contributes to better understanding of the writer’s creative phenomenon. The paper aims to reveal new meanings in Potushniak’s fiction and outlines the aspects of interpreting it within interdisciplinary research.

Religion should no longer only be equated with a doctrine or philosophy which, although important, is but one aspect or dimension of the phenomenon religion. Apart from presenting the intellectual or rational aspects of Buddhism, we should aim at a balanced view by also focusing on the mythical or narrative axioms of the Buddhist doctrines, as well as on the practical and ritual, the experiential and emotional, the ethical and legal, the social and institutional, and the material and artistic dimensions of the religious phenomenon known as Buddhism. This will help us to arrive at a balanced, unbiased and holistic conception of the subject matter. We must be careful not to impose the ethnocentric conceptions of our time, or to fall into the trap of reductionism, or to project our own idiosyncratic or personal beliefs onto the subject of our research. For example, according to Marco Polo, the Sinhalese Buddhists were 'idolaters', in other words worshippers of idols. This interpretation of the Sinhalese custom of placing offerings such as flowers, incense and lights before the Buddha image is quite understandable, because it is one of the most conspicuous feature of Sinhalese Buddhism even today. However, in conceiving of Buddhists as 'idolaters', Polo was uncritically using the concept of the then prevailing ethnocentric Christian discourse, by which the worshippers of other religions used idols, images or representations of God or the divine as objects of worship, a false God, as it were. Christians, on the other hand, worshipped the only true God.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Ashley Smith’s experience in the adult prison system flowed from certain of its systemic features. This article considers whether and how it is possible to reconcile the basic commitments of sentencing law, including the legal aims of punishment, with that systemic portrait. The youth court that ordered Smith’s transfer to adult custody relied upon an idealized conception of adult imprisonment, just as ordinary adult sentencing courts do. Judges purport to stipulate the severity of punishment, but tend not to consider how prison conditions will shape the severity of the sanction. Even where a particular defendant is likely to face unique difficulties in custody, courts tend to take notice in limited and rare ways. Smith’s experience in adult custody challenges us to more clearly identify, and to consider extending, doctrinal sentencing rules that represent a judicial concern with the effects and prospects of imprisonment in particular cases.

Le but de cette étude est de concevoir et de valider un ensemble de réacteurs et de compteurs de gaz permettant d’étudier la méthanisation en voie sèche à l’échelle laboratoire. L’intérêt de cet ensemble est de permettre la mise en oeuvre d’essais sur des substrats solides complexes, tels que des fumiers pailleux, tontes d’herbe et biodéchets, avec des quantités mises en jeu significatives, tout en préservant la structure et les caractéristiques physiques des substrats à étudier (pas de prétraitements préalables tels que broyage ou séchage). Il permet également d’agir sur les paramètres physiques clés, tel que la composition en substrats, l’immersion du massif et la recirculation de l’inoculum. Sa conception permet de réaliser deux types d’expériences : un suivi de production de méthane et une expérience de traçage au sein du massif solide. Le suivi de la production de méthane peut s’effectuer pour une composition en substrats donnée, pour laquelle l’immersion et les contraintes de recirculation sont déterminées. Cela permet des expériences d’optimisation de ces paramètres, notamment par les méthodes fournies par les plans d’expériences. Le traçage permettra quant à lui de déterminer le temps de séjour de la phase liquide au sein du massif solide. La création de cet ensemble a suivi un processus de conception classique : génération d’idées, sélection du produit, développement du produit puis tests et comparaison à la littérature. Les deux premières étapes de création ont été effectuées par une veille bibliographique, puis par conception assistée par ordinateur à l’aide de l’outil AutoCAD 2020. L’ensemble ainsi créé a ensuite été construit en deux prototypes successifs afin de perfectionner sa mise en oeuvre. Le modèle final a enfin été mis en oeuvre en conditions réelles de méthanisation en voie sèche afin de valider son fonctionnement et de comparer les résultats obtenus à la littérature.

‘Why is inert Matter female and the animating Nous male, please?’‘Because earth is the Mother, because all beautiful things spring from her, trees and flowers and creatures.’A.S. Byatt Angels and InsectsByart's characters, the Victorian gentlewoman who asks the question and the poet who answers, articulate an enduring notion of Western popular and intellectual culture. The association of women with matter and the body, men with form and the soul, is the legacy of ancient Greek thought which gendered the physical universe according to social convention: women were considered to be passive and therefore acted upon by the formative male principle. Examples of this bilateral symmetry include preformation theories of conception which suggest that a mother only provides the fetus with its raw material, while the father's seed organises that undeveloped material into its human form. This is a value-laden distinction, as we see from ancient philosophy which privileges the masculine soul over the feminine body and aligns men with the intellect but women with the baser corporeal passions.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, a gravity-triggered liquid metal microstrip patch antenna with reconfigurable frequency is proposed with experimental verification. In this work, the substrate of the antenna is quickly obtained through three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. Non-toxic EGaIn alloy is filled into the resin substrate as a radiation patch, and the NaOH solution is used to remove the oxide film of EGaIn. In this configuration, the liquid metal inside the antenna can be flexibly flowed and deformed with different rotation angles due to the gravity to realize different working states. To validate the conception, the reflection coefficients and radiation patterns of the prototyped antenna are then measured, from which it can be observed that the measured results closely follow the simulations. The antenna can obtain a wide operating bandwidth of 3.69–4.95 GHz, which coverage over a range of frequencies suitable for various channels of the 5th generation (5G) mobile networks. The principle of gravitational driving can be applied to the design of reconfigurable antennas for other types of liquid metals.

Le développement des systèmes d’assainissement s’appuie souvent sur des structures construites il y a plusieurs décennies. Ceux-ci font face à une augmentation des niveaux d’exigence qui leur sont assignés. C’est notamment le cas en France des performances des systèmes de collecte par temps de pluie avec la parution de l’arrêté du 21 juillet 2015 relatif aux systèmes d’assainissement. En collaboration avec l’Agence française pour la biodiversité (AFB), le Groupement pour l’évaluation des mesures en continu dans les eaux et l’assainissement (Gemcea), le ministère de la Transition écologique et solidaire et les agences de l’eau, le Centre d’études et d’expertise sur les risques, l’environnement, la mobilité et l’aménagement (Cerema) a mené le projet REx-BO consistant en un vaste retour d’expériences sur les bassins d’orage implantés sur les réseaux d’assainissement unitaires. L’objet du projet était de comprendre, à partir de la littérature et de travaux de terrain, comment les gestionnaires/exploitants avaient eu recours à cette technique pour optimiser le fonctionnement de leur système, notamment par temps de pluie, et de collecter des informations techniques et financières quant au fonctionnement, à la conception, au dimensionnement et à l’efficacité de ce type d’ouvrages. À travers une recherche bibliographique générale, des entretiens réalisés auprès de 17 maîtres d’ouvrage/exploitants, et un focus spécifique réalisé sur les usages de la métrologie autour des bassins d’orage, le projet a permis de tirer de nombreux éléments et enseignements à l’intention des acteurs opérationnels. Cet article présente le contexte et la méthodologie du retour d’expérience. Les principaux éléments sont ensuite synthétisés, notamment ceux relatifs à la conception, au dimensionnement, à la métrologie, ainsi que les points d’attention majeurs à considérer pour assurer le bon fonctionnement d’un ouvrage. L’article souligne tout d’abord l’intérêt d’inscrire la réalisation d’un (ou plusieurs) bassin(s) d’orage dans une stratégie globale de gestion du système d’assainissement. Pour ce qui concerne la conception et le dimensionnement, l’étude a permis de mettre en lumière un recours fréquent à des logiciels d’hydraulique urbaine, qui semble même être quasi systématique pour les ouvrages de taille importante.

Full textAbstract:
Those who think both about early encydopedism and the Middle Ages may find themselves stalled at the beginning of the title of Alexandre Koyré's classic study in the history of science, From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe. It is not, however, the history of the conception of empty space that concerns me here so much as the notion that if intellectual history has a first or early chapter picturing the "Middle Ages," it is likely to speak of closed systems, since modernism has to have something less modern—less progressive, reformed, scientific—to start from—a seed that has not yet sprouted, a nutshell with a kernel of allegorical claim to a simple truth. Those of us assigned to make representations of that or those Middle Ages say early on every year that people then did not necessarily think the world flat, and, if there is time, we go on to talk about voyages of exploration or we attempt a dialogue about sects and religions. But there still may be a claim that a desire for closure typified the Middle Ages—dated 500-1500, according to the Medieval Academy of America. Then again, "medieval" may be the term for a certain mindset and need not be fixed within dates: thus for closure of time, rather than of space, the Middle Ages have been found to predominate into the eighteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
Peut-on comparer un assainissement non collectif (ANC) à une station d’épuration, à un réfrigérateur, à une fenêtre, ou à une chaudière ? Cet article présente ces quatre analogies pour mieux cerner réellement ce qu’est un ANC. En effet, de l’impertinence de cette démarche analogique, il en ressort qu’un ANC est un ouvrage de viabilité (ancré au sol) faisant partie intégrante du patrimoine immobilier avec un objectif de durée de vie en service de 50 ans. Ce dernier, constitué d’éléments dissociables et indissociables, doit pouvoir faire l’objet d’un entretien raisonnable à la lumière d’un maître d’ouvrage réputé juridiquement incompétent sur le plan technique. La plupart des produits de construction constituant l’ANC sont encadrés par des normes européennes harmonisées dont les spécifications doivent être prises en compte dans les réglementations nationales. Ces normes constituent des éléments de droit européen, comme le montre la jurisprudence. Par ailleurs, la garantie décennale des constructeurs peut être engagée en cas de dommages ou de dysfonctionnements sur les éléments indissociables ou dissociables pouvant entraîner une impropriété à destination ou une atteinte à la solidité. Dans le cadre de ces dommages, la responsabilité des fabricants peut également être engagée en raison de « l’orientation de leurs produits vers le chantier » (exemple : petites installations de traitement des eaux usées préfabriquées destinées par l’industriel à l’ANC). Enfin, l’entretien de l’ouvrage se doit d’être « raisonnable » dans la mesure où le maître d’ouvrage est réputé techniquement « incompétent ». En cela, il appartient au constructeur dans le choix des produits de construction, d’intégrer cette exigence dès la phase de conception des ouvrages, mais également au fabricant dans la conception de leurs produits.

Full textAbstract:
Javanese ethnic still upholds local wisdom including marriage customs. Traditional wedding ceremonies inherited from ancestors are still practiced up to present in the Boyolangu subdistrict, Tulungagung District, East Java Province. Traditional wedding ceremonies in this area are often carried out by utilizing plants during the procession, especially at the procession of temu manten. The use of plants in this procession is closely related to ethnobotany. Ethnobotany is an ecological discipline and the principle of the community's conception of local plants sources that can be used as a protector of cultural values. This research aims to find out the types of plants that are used as in the traditional wedding ceremonies and to provide an understanding of conservation of certain plants typically used for traditional wedding ceremonies. This research used quantitative descriptive design and applied a purposive sampling technique. It involved 10 respondents of community and 1 key informant (dukun manten or shaman). Based on the results of the study, the community in this area uses a total of 14 species of plants of 11 families at a traditional wedding ceremony. Commonly, the community utilizes the leaves and other parts of plants such as fruit, seeds, stems, and flowers. They are directly arranged in a certain way and used. The plants are obtained from around the yards of the community’s house

Full textAbstract:
La gestion des eaux pluviales est l’un des enjeux majeurs de l’aménagement urbain moderne. Son intégration au sein des projets urbains doit prendre en compte et respecter l’environnement tout en protégeant les biens et les personnes des dommages pouvant être causés par les inondations. Les techniques dites « alternatives » permettent de résoudre cette problématique, tout en répondant à des enjeux sociaux (en créant davantage d’espaces publics, en améliorant le cadre de vie, en recréant du lien avec la nature), économiques (en augmentant la valeur foncière du site, en réduisant les coûts de travaux et d’entretien) et environnementaux (en créant des corridors écologiques, en favorisant la biodiversité et en luttant contre les îlots de chaleur). Dès les premiers stades de la conception, de nombreuses possibilités existent pour intégrer la gestion de l’eau dans les projets urbains. Le but de cet article est de présenter un retour d’expérience à travers trois projets menés successivement sur un même territoire, la commune de Villeneuve-la-Garenne. Ces projets, qui ont en commun les contraintes propres à leur territoire et une gestion alternative des eaux pluviales, permettent d’illustrer les évolutions constatées dans la conception des ouvrages et dans la perception des techniques alternatives par les acteurs associés aux projets. Encouragées par les publications, les retours d’expériences positifs et l’évolution de la réglementation, les techniques alternatives rencontrent une adhésion de plus en plus forte. Il subsiste toutefois des a priori négatifs sur leur efficacité, leur coût et leur entretien. Du côté du concepteur, il ne s’agit plus seulement de gérer la pluie de référence, mais de concevoir un système de gestion de la pluie intégré aux espaces publics et au bâti, de gérer les petites pluies au maximum sur le site et de promouvoir la plurifonctionnalité des ouvrages.

Charles Bally’s works laid the basis for the linguistic interpretation of the conceptions of association and associativity and understanding of associative mechanisms with regard to the fundamentals of psychology and systemacy of semantic links in thinking and language. The foundation of the modern theory of associativity is the classification of associations (mnemonic and necessary, close and distant, internal and external) developed by Charles Bally in his works. In linguo-stylistics the conception of association and associativity are associated with understanding of the psycholinguistic mechanisms of figurative use of language units and the realization of the aesthetic function of a literary language (S.Ya. Yermolenko, A.A. Moisiienko, L.V. Tailor, O. Malenkov, H.M. Siuta). Among the mechanisms for the formation of linguistic associations are the following factors: objective, social and intellectual experience, dependence on cultural and historical traditions, the gender identity of the speaker, etc. One of them dominates in each specific communicative situation. Currently known classifications of types of associative links take into account the basic positions of psycholinguistics, and the needs of lexicology and stylistics, etc. General differentiation is carried out: 1) for contiguity, similarity and contrast, 2) according to the scheme “word-stimulus, word-reaction”, 3) according to the type of relationship between the stimulus and the associate). Deep differentiation of associations according to the type of relationship between stimulus and associate) determines the allocation of several associative types: paradigmatic (food – bread) / syntagmatic (food – consume); thematic (friend – childhood > childhood friend); empirical (associated with the subjective experience of the speaker); social (associated with the social experience of the speaker), etc. The use of other criteria motivates the allocation of these types of associations: a) audio, visual, adorational, tangential; b) the usual and unexpected; c) direct and indirect, mediated; d) positive and negative; e) cultural, ethnic and author’’s individual. Understanding the connection between associativity and imagery is a primary issue in the modern literary language theory. Being a basis of concrete and sensual perception of the literary text, associations serve as a basis of creation of character in literature (S.Ya. Yermolenko, L.O. Pustovit, L.O. Stavitska, V.A. Chabanenko). It is necessary to consider the ideas of Franko’s treatise according to the history of the formation of the associativity theory. In particular, the proposed division of poetic associations by content (“ordinary”, that is, simple, and “linked by force”, that is, complex), remains undeniable. During the twentieth century the understanding of the mechanisms of implementation of associativity significantly deepened. One of the main subjects of intensive processing was the paradigmatic ordering of words in language and in human memory, the presence of clear mental connections between certain objects, realities on the basis of commonality or adjacency of their individual traits, features, etc. (compare.: spring – green, light, sun, warmth, flowers, feelings). This motivates the associative grouping of words into semantic fields. From linguo-stylistics point of view the associative-semantic field is a text structure, the model of the functional and stylistic implication of lexical-semantic units. The core of such a field, as a rule, are the keywords – the semantic and estimated coordinates of the entire work. Another type of lexicon combination, taking into account the associative links between the components, is an associative and imaginative field. It arises on the basis of associative and semantic or lexical and semantic association due to the identity of the denotative properties of linguistic signs, the general tradition of common language and poetic usage. Its center is the most active unit (dominant) – the core component of the series, which organizes the relationship of all other components. Associative-figurative series (lexical-thematic lines) go from this dominant, which work together semantically with the center for associative and creative field. Associativity is one of the key concepts of modern linguistic style. Terminological functionality of the conception of association and associativity is associated with the activity of cognition of the problems of “language association”, “artistic association”, “associativity and creative work”.

Abstract In the past half-century, the historical profession in Canada has broadened its attention significantly beyond the political, diplomatic, and military concerns that were dominant as recently as the 1950s. This came about in particular by three challenges: from Marxists who insisted on the study of history from the bottom up and on the importance of class and class conflict; from feminists, who focussed attention on the history of women and gender relations; and from scholars who shifted the historical study of politics from political systems to political cultures. Other methodological innovations also helped broaden the study of history, most noticeably the use of statistics in historical analysis. This "opening" of the profession has, however, made it more sectarian and fractious. Moreover, the attention of historians continues to be paid to the western world and is now largely focussed on the last two-and-a-half centuries. A longer and much wider view of human history is necessary. Accordingly, the paper briefly discusses examples drawn from daily life - paper, food, flowers, and the environment - as evidence of the global nature of history and of the importance of the longue durée in it. The paper concludes by arguing that it is essential for historians to enlargen their conception of the past, for by examining much earlier times and very different cultures, we may come to recognize what is distinctive or peculiar about ourselves as well as others. Such imaginative travels through space and time provide a deeply humanizing and liberating experience.

Full textAbstract:
The present study aimed to assess water footprint in the production and export of rice in India. From recent few years, the water footprint conception in full swing to inward detection around the world. The amplified attention in the water footprint has impelled the trade of commodities between countries. Water footprint in the rice field is a sign of water use that exhibits direct and indirect water usage in the rice field. Rice is an important food crop in India. It accesses the flows of water virtually between countries/regions of the world to illustrate the dependency of countries/regions on water resources with other countries/regions under diverse feasible futures. Hence, it is gaining consequence to calculate the water foot print in production as well as export of rice. The Indian rice production and export of rice was calculated by using international trade and domestic production data. The study results indicated that the global footprint of rice production was 235774 Mm3 per ton which was 53 % of green water footprint, 41 % of blue water footprint and 6 % of grey water footprint for 2018-19. The virtual water flowed in trade was 24354 Mm3/year and the percolation was 16924 Mm3/year since rice is a more water consuming crop. The share of basmati and non-basmati trade accounted was 16 % and 42 %, respectively. Virtual water trade in rice can be minimized by exporting less water demand and high-value crops, proper water harvesting structures and other agronomic practices.

Metal flow tends to be complex and difficult to predict in the combined forward-backward extrusion (CFBE) process. Piercing and surface-crack defects are phenomenal in forming fasteners featuring a forward extruded pin and a backward extruded cup. In this work, a series of the CFBE tests with various combinations of the forward extrusion ratio (FER) and the backward extrusion ratio (BER) were conducted. A forming limit diagram, detailed with the piercing and surface-crack defects on the forward extruded pin or the backward extruded cup, was developed to provide a conception in choosing appropriate extrusion ratios in forming fasteners with such pin-and-cup features. With the aid of the forming load-stroke curves and the finite element analysis of fracture damage, the fracturing mechanism for the CFBE process was provided.

ResumoA imagem botânica percorreu tendências e possibilidades técnicas singulares ao longo da sua história. Diferentes teorias influenciaram na representação das imagens das plantas, bem como a importante relação entre artista, desenhista, gravador e cientista, uma confluência entre teoria e prática - ciência e arte – apresentadas em edições fundamentais da historiografia botânica. Houve, portanto, a necessidade de formação do ilustrador para as edições científicas e de distingui-lo do artista paisagista ou pintor de flores. Contudo, essa distinção foi tênue, levando-se em conta que a própria Taxonomia de Lineu, com a publicação da obra Systema Naturae (1735), por destacar a flor na classificação, fez com que as imagens científicas estivessem muito próximas às pinturas florais decorativas. Necessitou-se da parceria do artista com o botânico, uma combinação que não ficou reservada às edições de livros e trocas de informações teóricas, mas difundiu-se igualmente na metodologia de ensino em botânica.Cabe notar que, além de desenhos ou gravuras para o aprendizado, também existiam tratados e manuais direcionados para a formação inicial do artista botânico. Este trabalho pretende mostrar que a instrução do ilustrador botânico era complexa e dependia substancialmente de esforços colaborativos entre o cientista e o artista. Principalmente na sua integração às concepções e orientações científicas para se diferenciar do pintor comum, e não apenas da habilidade artística.Palavras-chave: História da Ciência. Artista botânico. Ensino. AbstractThe botanical image has traced trends and unique technical possibilities throughout its history. Different theories influenced the representation of plant images, as well as the important relation between the artist, the draftsman, the engraver and the scientist, a confluence of theory and practice - science and art – featured in fundamental editions of botanical historiography. Therefore, there was a need for illustrators to be trained for scientific editions and to distinguish themselves from landscape artists or flower painters. However, this distinction was subtle, with the very Taxonomy of Linnaeus in his work Systema Naturae (1735) containing images that resembled decorative floral paintings due to the flowers being highlighted for classification. The partnership between the botanist and the artist became necessary not only in publishing and for scientific communication but was also incorporated in methodologies used for botany teaching. It is noteworthy that, in addition to drawings and engravings used as learning material, there were also treatises and manuals intended for the initial training of botanical artists. This work intends to show that the instruction of the botanical illustrator was complex and depended substantially on collaborative efforts between the scientist and the artist. Mainly in its integration to the scientific conceptions and orientations to differentiate itself from the common painter, and not just artistic ability.Keywords: History of Science. Botanical artist.

Après la modélisation hydraulique 3D de l’écoulement, un suivi lagrangien des particules en suspension est mis en œuvre afin d’évaluer l’abattement des bassins pour l’ensemble des vitesses de chute. La comparaison avec la méthode de Hazen permet de montrer que cette dernière est très imprécise pour évaluer les performances de décantation d’un bassin. En matière de conception, cette étude permet de montrer que les performances peuvent être améliorées en distribuant le débit d’entrée sur plusieurs orifices ou bien en mettant en place un déflecteur.

In the process of new personal consciousness formation it is very important to understand the necessity of development of new public conception of the environment as of a common sphere for society and nature, which means understanding significance of sustainable development of nature and society. Extracurricular environmental education implemented in the “Vodlozersky” National park helps to promote environmental knowledge of native region and fosters development of knowledge and skills for living and working in the environment. The content of educational programmes was divided into separate topics: “Avifauna of Vedlozero islands”, “Predators on the swamp”, “Vodlozero lichens”, “Mushroom hunting”, “Green pharmacy” and others. As an example we suggest one of the lessons devoted to “Avifauna of Velikostrov Island” from the topic “Avifauna of Vedlozero islands”. It took much time for schoolchildren to get the skills in birds’ identification. Teachers and schoolchildren analyzed everything they saw and heard, made conclusions, wrote down their observations. As a result of fieldwork the expedition participants have managed to learn to recognize different kinds of birds in the nature of the National park. Schoolchildren expressed special interest while getting to know the life of invertebrates of the water reservoir: “Microcosmos in a drop of water”. The integrative approach lied in combination of methods of Japanese paper art of Origami used to represent generalized image of a bird. With the help of natural materials such as dry grass, flowers, branches, soil, moss, stones, etc. schoolchildren constructed the models of biocenosis. They created a meadow and semi-aquatic lake world. In biocenosis models birds and plants made of paper were settled in their natural habitats. In painting the images of nature schoolchildren were offered to use natural materials: pollen from plants, flower petals, sand and stones. Students also showed interest to such lessons as “Epics of Vedlozero” and “Ethnography and Toponymy of Vedlozero”. On the territory of the National park there are special “marks” of the ancient ethnic group of population – vodlozery. These are commemorative trees – Karsikko. Students got to know about their origin and significance for vedlozery from conversation with the teacher on ecological trail. Knowledge acquired on these lessons allowed schoolchildren to express their creativity in making dolls – spirits of the wood and lake. To generalize knowledge about nature students of expedition camp made a trip along the ecological trail with the length of 1420 meters. The trail lied on the landscape consisting of different biocenosis: meadows, a sector of old forest, swamp. Walking along the trail they got acquainted with new representatives of flora and fauna – forest ants, poisonous and medical plants of swamp and forest. On one of the swamp sectors there was found carnivorous plant - (Drosera rotundifolia L). Having caught small dipterous insects students managed to feed this plant and observe the process of food capturing. Experience of ecological expedition camps organization allowed teachers and scientists for the first time to realize the work with children with special needs in the wild nature. As children had vision problems of different severity the teachers developed special educational programmes for them which included maximum use of their hearing, smell and touching. It was important to teach the children to identify the sounds of nature: voice of birds, insects, rustle of grass and reeds. But they also had the trips to the world of nature. They learnt to identify different kinds of plants – to feel them (touching the plants with their hands and face, palming), to recognize and remember the smell of spicy plants. For kids with mild form of visual pathology teachers tried to use all senses in working in nature but for a short period of time. Analysis of comments left by children by the end of expedition shows that they prefer communication with each other to communication with nature. In accordance with the goals set by the specialists of the National park it is necessary to implement practical lessons in nature involving schoolchildren into them in more active forms. Integration of scientific, artistic, aesthetic and humanitarian knowledge into coherent whole for cognition of nature will allow develop sustainable motivation for nature protection among children in the future. Primary educational experience of National park specialists in working with disabled children showed that such children may have unlimited possibilities to communicate with nature.

Experiments aiming to adapt the perennial balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorus) as a commercial cut flower crop were conducted for 4 years under various growing conditions: four controlled-temperature rooms at two photoperiods in a phytotron, heated and unheated greenhouses, and a saran net-house (15% shade). Best flower yield was obtained following crown cooling for 12 weeks at 2 to 4 °C. Platycodon is a day-neutral plant, but produce more flowering stems under long days. Flower initiation and development is enhanced with increased growing temperature from 17/12 °C (day/night) to 27/22 °C. At very high temperatures (32/24 °C), however, only a few flowers are formed. Best quality stems were produced at 12 to 14 °C night temperature. At higher night temperatures, flowering stems were thin and weak. Gibberellin treatments to the crowns and the plants did not affect flowering time. Chemical name used: gibberellin (GA3).

Full textAbstract:
Flower color preference of western flower thrips [WFT (Frankliniella occidentalis) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)] was assessed by observing insect location after introduction into chambers containing four different colored flowers of each of three plant species: transvaal daisy (Gerbera jamesonii), matsumoto aster (Callistephus chinensis), and chrysanthemum (Dendranthema ×grandiflorum). Preference was based on the number of WFT adults found on each flower 72 hours after infestation. Significantly higher numbers of WFT were found on yellow transvaal daisy and yellow chrysanthemum. When these accessions were compared in a subsequent experiment, WFT displayed a significant greater preference for the yellow transvaal daisy. Visible and near infrared reflectance spectra of the flowers used in the study were measured to determine the presence of distinct spectral features that would account for the relative attractiveness of the flowers. Likewise, the reflectance spectra of three commercially available sticky cards (blue, yellow, and yellow with a grid pattern) that are used to trap or sample for WFT were compared to those of the flowers to determine any shared spectral features that would support observed WFT flower color preference. The observed similarity between the yellow transvaal daisy and yellow sticky card reflectance spectra supports the hypothesis that flower color contributes to attractiveness of WFT. In particular, the wavelengths corresponding to green-yellow (500 to 600 nm) seem to be responsible for attracting WFT. These findings also indicate that yellow sticky cards may be more appropriate in sampling for WFT than blue sticky cards. Although further research is needed, under the conditions of this study, yellow transvaal daisy appears to be a potentially useful trap crop for WFT.
