Abstract:

Résumé À l'embouchure du ruisseau de Bellechasse, trois petits glissements de terrain dans la berge escarpée de la terrasse de 10 m, survenus au printemps de 1998, ont permis de découvrir une couche organique (tourbe) et des troncs d'arbres, à la surface d'un dépôt argileux, marin (rythmites datées à environ 10 ka), recouvert de 2 à 3 m de sédiments fins intertidaux. L'âge de la tourbe et des troncs d'arbres semblable (6 à 7 ka) à celui des coupes de Montmagny et de Cap-Saint-Ignace permet d'affirmer que les événements mis en évidence dans ces deux localités (bas niveau suivi d'une transgression) ont une extension géographique plus grande, sur la rive sud de l'estuaire du Saint-Laurent, qu'on le croyait jadis.

Abstract:

Depuis les débuts de la colonie, le peuplement des îles du Saint-Laurent situées à l'aval de Montréal a été l'objet de changements brusques. L'examen de l'évolution de la population des six îles (ou groupes d'îles) laurentiennes encore habitées en permanence, trahit la situation de dépendance dans laquelle ont évolué ces lieux à la fois particuliers et à la fois témoins et acteurs du peuplement de l'axe laurentien. À ce titre, le cas de l'île d'Anticosti est sûrement le plus éloquent. Quoique moins spectaculaire, l'évolution des autres populations insulaires laurentiennes (Cent-îles du lac Saint-Pierre, île d'Orléans, île aux Grues, île aux Coudres et île Verte) a également été mouvementée. Toutes à un moment ou un autre de leur histoire (exemples : île d'Orléans vers 1871 ; île aux Coudres vers 1956) ont vu leur population rurale atteindre un taux de saturation qui a été suivi d'une chute souvent brutale des effectifs insulaires. L'île d'Orléans et les Cent-îles sont les seules où s'est éventuellement opéré un regain démographique grâce à une réadaptation de la fonction insulaire. L'étude comparative de l'évolution récente de deux municipalités de cet archipel contribue à illustrer le paradoxe de l'insularité : la pérennité des peuplements insulaires laurentiens ne peut être assurée que dans des conditions impliquant l'érosion des caractères culturels qui définissent le milieu insulaire même.

Abstract:

Résumé Une excavation récente, d’environ 6 m de profondeur, a permis d’observer les unités lithostratigraphiques composant la partie arrière de la terrasse de 8-10 m, entre Montmagny et Cap-Saint-Ignace. On y a trouvé 3 des 5 unités exposées dans la falaise vive, à l’extrémité est de l’aéroport. Les unités manquantes sont le dépôt infratidal limono-argileux daté de 8 à 7 ka et la couche organique datée de 7 à 6 ka. Dans la partie arrière de la terrasse de 8-10 m, l’argile de la Mer de Goldthwait, qui est à une altitude d’environ 5 m, en comparaison de 1 m au droit de la falaise vive, est surmontée d’une couche de sable et gravier d’une trentaine de centimètres d’épaisseur. Un fragment de bois au sommet de cette unité a donné un âge au 14C de 5970 ± 70 BP (UL-2737). Cette couche grossière est recouverte d’environ 3 m de rythmites tidales limono-sableuses contenant d’abondants débris de plantes aquatiques in situ qui ont donné un âge de 5460 ± 70 BP (UL-2719), alors que deux fragments de bois à la base de l’unité ont été datés respectivement à 5640 ± 70 (UL-2735) et 5650 ± 70 BP (UL-2718). L’unité intertidale mise en place lors de la transgression de l’Holocène moyen est coiffée par une tourbière d’une soixantaine de centimètres d’épaisseur. La base de cette dernière a donné un âge au 14C de 5080 ± 60 BP (UL-2740) pour la tourbe et de 5020 ± 70 BP (UL-2737) pour une souche de mélèze (Larix sp.). Cette coupe confirme donc l’étendue et l’altitude de la Transgression laurentienne dans le secteur entre la rivière du Sud, à Montmagny, et Cap-Saint-Ignace.

Abstract:

Dans mon adolescence, j’ai été familiarisé avec un mode de vie inscrit dans une longue provenance d’autosuffisance où même le sucre venait de la parcelle en bois debout, l’érablière, un lieu de festivités annuelles pour célébrer l’arrivée du printemps. En 1977, après la publication de quatre ouvrages à succès sur la culture matérielle traditionnelle québécoise, la Société Radio-Canada a accepté ma proposition d’une grande série de documentaires sur notre histoire populaire en utilisant les discours de l’objet. L’époque est à la quête d’identité et à la chasse de tout bien culturel de sens pour rencontrer ces aïeux qui ont inventé notre pays. Dans cet examen, à titre d’exemple, le temps des sucres donnera lieu à deux films de trente minutes tournés à Cap-Saint-Ignace, en 1979, dans la famille de Viateur Richard. Le sujet est traité rigoureusement de façon ethnologique et applique un mode de scénarisation et de tournage efficaces pour rencontrer nos objectifs de transmission du savoir et les budgets disponibles.

Abstract:

L'évolution des modes de transports aux Cent-îles du lac Saint-Pierre a amené l'ouverture permanente de l'archipel et par conséquent la dépendance accrue devant les zones riveraines plus développées. Les premiers modes de transport qui ont été élaborés aux îles ont d'abord surtout répondu aux besoins mêmes des insulaires et se sont donc institués en fonction des activités rurales propres à l'archipel. Les zones résidentielles étaient d'une part reliées entre elles par un réseau de chemins et de traverses de chalands et d'autre part avec les îles de l'écoumène d'exploitation par un réseau complexe de communications par terre et par eau. Cependant, en 1938, un réseau de ponts fut établi reliant les îles du nord à la rive gauche du Saint-Laurent et facilitant ainsi le lien entre les établissements riverains de Berthier et de Sorel : un nouvel axe résidentiel allait donc se développer le long du lien routier insulaire. Alors que les rangs se dépeuplaient ou voyaient leur fonction agricole péricliter, l'axe de communication Berthier-Sorel prenait de l'importance, ce qui doit être associé au succès considérable du service de traversiers entre l'île Saint-Ignace et Sorel. L'essor du rôle de pont entre les deux rives que jouaient les îles du nord a cependant été sérieusement remis en question lors de la construction, en 1967, d'un pont à Trois-Rivières et d'un tunnel à l'est de Montréal. La solution proposée par plusieurs quant à la construction d'un nouveau pont traversant et desservant complètement l'archipel, pour des fins touristiques entre autres, doit être remise en question car elle contribuerait à une érosion prématurée des caractéristiques paysagiques, culturelles et même économiques de ce milieu original que constituent les Cent-lles.

Abstract:

RÉSUMÉ Une coupe dans la terrasse de 10-12 m, à l'embouchure du ruisseau de Bellechasse près de Berthier-sur-Mer, sur la rive sud du moyen estuaire du Saint-Laurent, a permis de fixer à 12 m le niveau maximal atteint lors de la transgression Laurentienne à l'Holocène moyen. Ce niveau est de deux mètres supérieur à celui connu jusqu'à maintenant. L'unité intertidale diagnostique de 4 m d'épaisseur surmonte une surface d'érosion taillée dans des rythmites limono-argileuses, faiblement fossilifères, datées à plus de 10 ka. Les datations au radiocarbone sur des bouts de bois et des débris de plantes (macro-restes) aquatiques et intertidales in situ ont donné des âges compris entre 5,4 et 6 ka (N-8). Bien que légèrement plus vieille, cette chronologie est comparable à celle établie à Montmagny et à Cap-Saint-Ignace, à une trentaine de kilomètres en aval. La coupe de l'anse de Bellechasse n'offre toutefois pas l'ensemble des événements retracés à Montmagny. Par contre, il existe dans le même secteur quelques terrasses fluviatiles édifiées l'une vers 1,4 ka et deux autres entre 0,5 et 0,7 ka, en rapport avec des fluctuations mineures du niveau de base relatif au cours des deux derniers millénaires.

Abstract:

Objectif : La présente étude vise à évaluer et à prioriser le niveau de satisfaction des utilités attendues des cultivars d’igname auprès 1032 acteurs locaux de la filière igname au Sud-ouest des Savanes Sèches au Togo. Méthodologie et résultats: Le brainstorming, le scoring et les avis d’experts, ont permis la définition de quinze descripteurs d’utilités des cultivars, dont les notes d’appréciation ont révélé une corrélation positive significative entre attributs. L’ensemble des attributs a été priorisé en trois classes selon la loi 80/20 (la loi de Pareto). Valeur marchande, nom de cultivar à connotation d’image et gros et longs tubercules ont constitué la principale classe d’attributs avec des notes moyennes d’utilités significatives et respectivement de 9,52 ; 7,28 et 2,28. Ils ont satisfait à 63,91% des utilités cumulées attendues des attributs de tous les cultivars. De tous, le lieu de production à image de qualité (0,80) et la résilience aux divers stresseurs, (0,34) ont été faiblement apprécié. Les effets de l’âge et du sexe des participants sur les notes d’appréciation de l’utilité n‘ont pas été perçus. Conclusion et application des résultats: Les utilités cumulées attendues ont été satisfaites à 63,91% par 20% des attributs en culture d’igname et une faible atteinte d’utilité cumulée de 36,07% par 80% du reste des attributs. De futurs programmes d’amélioration variétale pourront prendre en compte la satisfaction des utilités attendues des ignames. Une piste de production labélisée des tubercules et de leurs transformations élargies aux potentialités de tous les cultivars peuvent constituer une application à envisager sur la base des présents résultats et limiter ainsi l’érosion génétique de la culture d’igname. Mots clés : ignames, attributs, priorisation, utilités attendues, Savanes Sèches, Togo. Gnon et al., J. Appl.

Methodology and results: The scoring and the expert opinions, allowed the definition of fifteen cultivar attribute descriptors by 1032 actors of the yam sector followed by their prioritization in three distinct classes by the law 80/20. The average utilities of the main attributes: market value, cultivar name with image connotation and large and long tubers were respectively 9.52; 7.28 and 2.28. They represented 63.91% of the expected cumulative utilities of all attributes. The effects of age and sex on expected utility ratings were not seen in this study. Conclusion and application of the findings: 20% of the attributes fulfilled 63.91% of cumulative utilities expected in yam culture and posing the problem of the low cumulative utility of 36.07% by 80% of the attributes. Thus, future research to improve a satisfaction of utilities of the 80% of attributes is necessary. Future varietal improvement programs, may take into account the satisfaction of the expected utilities of yams. A path of labeled production of tubers and their transformations extended to the potential of all cultivars may constitute an application to be considered on the basis of the present results and thus limit the genetic erosion of the yam crop. Keywords: yams, attributes, prioritization, expected utilities, Dry Savannahs, Togo.

Abstract:

Yeni yerler görmeyi, farklı kültürleri tanımayı çok seven Polonya toplumunun seyahat edebiyatı da bu bağlamda oldukça zengindir. Tarihi boyunca yaşanan savaş ve işgaller nedeniyle ülke dışına çıkan siyasi göçmenlerin döndükten sonra yazdıkları hatıratların yanı sıra misyonerlerin ya da hacıların yazmış oldukları seyahatnamelerin de bu zenginlikte rolü büyüktür. Bunlar arasında, çalışmamamıza da konu olacak olan Leh rahip Ignacy Hołowiński'nin 1839'da kutsal topraklara yaptığı seyahatin gözlem ve bilgilerini aktardığı seyahatnamesi, içerik olarak en zengin ve en renkli olanlarından birisidir. Seyahati sırasında uğradığı Osmanlı şehirlerine dair de detaylı bilgiler veren Hołowiński'nin bu seyahatnamesi tarihimiz açısından önemli bir kaynak teşkil etmektedir. Bu şehirler arasında, iki kez uğradığı İzmir ve çevresi hakkında verdiği tarihi, kültürel ve toplumsal bilgiler özellikle dikkat çekicidir. Rahip olması nedeniyle gezdiği yerlerde öncelikli olarak Hristiyanlık geçmişinin izini sürdüğü, seyahati sırasında yalnız olmadığı ve her gittiği yerde Hristiyan din adamları ve misyonerlerin, zaman zaman da İzmir'de olduğu gibi Aleksander Spitznagel ve August Kosciesza-Żaba gibi şarkiyatçı hemşehrilerinin bilgi ve tecrübeleriyle ona eşlik ettikleri görülür.

Retirée après sa création en 1969, la pièce Pour le Dr Kalmus de Pierre Boulez a fait en 2005 une surprenante réapparition. On ignore encore les raisons qui ont décidé Boulez à réviser cette partition. On ignore d’ailleurs presque tout la concernant. Il est toutefois possible aujourd’hui, à la lumière des quelques sources manuscrites conservées et de la nouvelle partition éditée, de faire plusieurs constatations historiques, philologiques et analytiques sur cette oeuvre certes secondaire dans le corpus boulézien, mais non dénuée d’intérêt, et composée à un moment charnière de sa production musicale et de son évolution esthétique.

Abstract:

Policies intended to bring stability to fragile states tend to focus almost exclusively on building institutions and systems to get governance right. Simply building the state is often seen as sufficient for making it stable and legitimate. But policies like these, René Grotenhuis shows in this book, ignore the question of what makes people belong to a nation-state, arguing that issues of identity, culture, and religion are crucial to creating the sense of belonging and social cohesion that a stable nation-state requires.

Abstract:

We are running out of water, robots will take our jobs, we are eating ourselves to an early death, old age pension and health systems are bankrupting governments, and an immigration crisis is unravelling the European integration project. A growing number of nightmares, perfect storms, and global catastrophes create fear of the future. One response is technocratic optimism — we’ll invent our way out of these impending crises. Or we’ll simply ignore them as politically too hot to handle, too uncomfortable for experts — denied until crisis hits. History is littered with late lessons from early warnings. Cynicism is an excuse for inaction. Populism flourishes in the depths of despair. Despite the gloom, there is another way to look at the future. We don’t have to be pessimistic or optimistic — we can find realistic hope. This book is written by an international and influential collection of future shapers. It is aimed at anyone who is interested in learning to refresh the present, forge new common ground, and redesign the future.

Abstract:

Though valuing physical education and college sports for improving students’ physical condition and discipline, Harvard’s president, Charles W. Eliot, had come to believe in 1882 that college sports are demanding too much time and effort from students, brought on by a drive toward a “professional standard of excellence.” Eliot wants college sports at the level of “amateurs who are amusing themselves.” He tries to interest other college presidents in faculty oversight of intercollegiate competition with interinstitutional cooperation. Yale and other schools refuse, but Harvard sets up a faculty athletic committee to regulate Harvard’s athletics, and the committee begins to impose the limits Eliot is seeking.

Abstract:

When Americans Compare Their Country to others, it is almost invariably to find fault with it. Of course, there are tub-thumpers on the right wing, for whom the United States is the greatest nation and comparisons are drawn merely to underline that preeminence. But they are a predictable lot, and intellectually of no consequence. Comparisons with abroad are of little use when preaching to the choir if the choir does not care. Most conservative Americans are too uninterested in Europe to sit still for comparative explanations of U.S. superiority. Mitt Romney got very little traction from attacking French health care and other things Gallic during his abortive run for the Republican nomination in 2007. The vast majority of Americans’ comparisons are undertaken by social scientists with liberal leanings who hope that the United States will some day approximate Europe when it comes to family allowances, universal health insurance, parental leave, and the like. For them, Europe means northern Europe. They either ignore the south or see it too as aspiring to north European status. Stockholm is the mecca toward which the social science faithful pray. Because of their political reform agenda—fervent but unfulfilled—the tone they strike is wistful. Take as a recent example the American Human Development Report, published by a preeminent institution, the Social Science Research Council, and prefaced by multiple well-wishes from the great and the good. It is modeled on the UN’s attempt to sum up economic and human well-being in a single number, to compare nations and progress over time. Its wealth of information lays bare the sometimes dramatic disparities within the United States and shows where it is lagging in relation to peer comparison countries. That is all well and good, and who could fault it? It is when sight is lost of the larger picture that worries begin. Thus, the report presents a chart (Figure 1.2) showing an apparently precipitous decline in America’s human development ranking. The United States stood in second place, after Switzerland, in 1980. This held steady until 1995, when it plummeted over the next 15 years to land at the 12th spot in 2005. America’s numerical score has increased steadily, we are reassured. But the scores of other countries have risen even faster. As a result, the United States has fallen behind its more efficient competitors.

Abstract:

This chapter explores how the financial system was created and developed to recognize whiteness as a first credential of banking. Based on the theory of racial capitalism, this chapter reviews the origins of modern-day banks, redlining, and credit scoring to explain how the financial system confers advantages to whites. The financial system’s calibrations to whiteness have made it unable to render equal access to financial products and services. Whites have disproportionately higher bank account ownership rates, savings amounts, and accumulated wealth compared to their Black and Brown counterparts. Reports that decontextualize these differences from racial capitalism ignore the racist policies and practices responsible for these present-day renderings.

Abstract:

Based on an in-depth analysis of artificial intelligence and machine learning systems, the authors consider the future of applying such systems to cyber attacks, and what strategies attackers are likely or less likely to use. As nuanced, complex, and overhyped as machine learning is, they argue, it remains too important to ignore.

Donnelly, Phoebe. Demystifying Gender Analysis for Research on Violent Extremism. RESOLVE Network, January 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.37805/rve2021.2.

Full text

Abstract:

Incorporating a gender analysis into research on violent extremism and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) leads to more accurate conclusions about violent extremism and violent extremist organizations (VEOs). When scholars, policymakers, and activists pay attention to gender dynamics, they gain new insights about power, identities, and relationships. Researchers cannot ignore the gender dimension of violent extremism because VEOs understand the importance of gender and leverage ideas about gender for their own advantage. Despite the clear benefits from incorporating gender into the research process, most researchers are not trained on gender analysis and therefore cannot envision what it looks like in practice. This chapter outlines some of the key steps in a gender analysis, including asking questions about the different experiences of men, women, boys, and girls; tracing power dynamics; recognizing intersectional identities; analyzing context; and challenging existing knowledge and conventions. The goal of this chapter is to demystify gender analysis so that it becomes an approachable tool researchers choose to use to gain a more accurate picture of contexts of violent extremism.

Full text

Abstract:

While intra-Afghan talks have started, sustainable peace is still a distant reality in Afghanistan. Ongoing peace efforts ignore women’s meaningful participation: women are included in only one in every five meetings. Evidence shows that when women have a meaningful role in peace negotiations, peace is more sustainable. Afghan and international actors must stress the importance of including women in all stages of formal and informal talks at national and local levels. This research paper uses the seven modalities of the Broadening Participation framework to identify practical ways to include Afghan women meaningfully and pave the way for inclusive peacebuilding.

Full text

Abstract:

Many of the most pressing conflicts across sub-Saharan Africa today—including violent extremism, sexual and gender-based violence, pastoralist/farmer conflicts, and criminal banditry—are shaped by local, community-level drivers. Despite these local drivers, however, international peacebuilding approaches often ignore or neglect bottom-up, grassroots strategies for addressing them. Often, international efforts to contribute to the prevention and management of local conflicts depend heavily on large-scale, expensive, and external interventions like peacekeepers, while under-investing in or by-passing traditional/customary mechanisms and resources that uphold locally defined values of peace, tolerance, solidarity, and respect. Recognizing that these traditional and customary practices themselves sometimes have their own legacies of violence and inequality, this policy note emphasizes the possibility of combining aspects of traditional peacebuilding mechanisms with international conflict management approaches to harness the benefits of both.

Avila-Montealegre, Oscar, and Carter Mix. Common Trade Exposure and Business Cycle Comovement. Banco de la República de Colombia, December 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.32468/be.1149.

Full text

Abstract:

A large empirical literature has shown that countries that trade more with each other have more correlated business cycles. We show that previous estimates of this relationship are biased upward because they ignore common trade exposure to other countries. When we account for common trade exposure to foreign business cycles, we find that (1) the effect of bilateral trade on business cycle comovement falls by roughly 25 percent and (2) common exposure is a significant driver of business cycle comovement. A standard international real business cycle model is qualitatively consistent with these facts but fails to reproduce their magnitudes. Past studies have used models that allow for productivity shock transmission through trade to strengthen the relationship between trade and comovement. We find that productivity shock transmission increases business cycle comovement largely because of a country-pair's common trade exposure to other countries rather than because of bilateral trade. When we allow for stronger transmission between small open economies than other country-pairs, comovement increases both from bilateral trade and common exposure, similar to the data.

Full text

Abstract:

In defined contribution systems, at the end of the accumulation phase the assets in the retirement account are exchanged for a pension. The conversion rate from assets to retirement income (which depends on the level of interest rates) is very volatile, and its variations constitute the main investment risk facing pension fund affiliates. In this sense, performance metrics, management fees and benchmark portfolios that focus on assets (and asset returns) and ignore the variations in the conversion rate, embed several problems: i. they send wrong signals to regulators, fund managers and workers, ii. they provide wrong incentives to pension fund management companies, and iii. they leave pension fund affiliates exposed to their largest risk factor, even during the last few years preceding their retirement date. We find that regulatory incentives with these fundamental problems are ubiquitous in the region. The document presents a series of best practices, and delivers a practical set of tools to assist regulators and supervisors in designing a framework that improves security and sufficiency of retirement income, and provides relevant and timely information to pension fund affiliates. The framework achieves that by fostering an integration of the accumulation and the payout phases, and an alignment of the regulatory incentives for pension fund management companies with the retirement income objectives of pension fund affiliates. Using historical data from Colombia as a case study, the document illustrates and quantifies the improvements in terms of pension benefits and retirement income security that the proposed framework could bring.

Integration of reproductive health services for men in health and family welfare centers in Bangladesh. Population Council, 2004. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh17.1006.

Full text

Abstract:

Since the mid-1970s, the Bangladesh national family planning program primarily focused on motivating women to use modern contraceptive methods and encouraging them to seek services from clinics. In addition, female field workers were recruited to deliver contraceptive methods at homes. The program design facilitated women’s access to information and medical care through clinics and home visits. In the process, however, the medical needs of males were marginalized. Men generally seek services from pharmacies, private practitioners, and district hospitals, and often ignore preventive steps and postpone seeking medical care for chronic health conditions. In cases of acute illness, they often resort to self-medication. As noted in this report, the study’s aim was to integrate male reproductive health services within the existing government female-focused health-care delivery system. The study concluded that reproductive health services for men could easily be integrated into the health and family welfare centers without affecting the clinics’ focus on serving women and children.
