Η «ποίηση της πολιτικής» στα ιταλικά έργα του Σέλλεϋ και του ΒύρωναΜαρία ΣχοινάΤο άρθρο σκιαγραφεί τη «ρομαντικοποίηση» της πολιτικής κατάστασης στην Ιταλία από το Σέλλεϋ και από το Βύρωνα, όπως αυτή παρουσιάζεται σε μερικά από τα «ιταλικά» τους ποιήματα και στις επιστολές τους. Εξετάζοντας το ιδεολογικό κλίμα της εποχής ταυτόχρονα με το πολιτικό σκηνικό της Ιταλίας και της Αγγλίας, γίνεται μια προσπάθεια να ερμηνευθεί ο χαρακτήρας της εμπλοκής του Σέλλεϋ και του Βύρωνα στα πολιτικά πράγματα της Ιταλίας στις αρχές του 1820. Το άρθρο θεωρεί ότι παρά τον ενθουσιασμό τους για τη δημιουργία ενός ελεύθερου Ιταλικού κράτους, οι δυο εκπατρισμένοι ποιητές υιοθετούν μια διφορούμενη στάση απέναντι στην Ιταλία και τη βλέπουν κατά βάθος σαν μια προβληματική εθνική και πολιτική οντότητα. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η Ιταλία προβάλλεται μέσα από τον ποιητικό λόγο σαν ένα σύνολο αντιφάσεων και αναπαρίσταται μέσα στα γραπτά τους σαν ένα αισθητικό ιδεώδες, σαν ένας λατρευτός τόπος (=τοποθεσία αλλά ταυτόχρονα και ένας μεταβατικός, μεταφορικός «τόπος») από τον οποίο και μέσω του οποίου μπορούν να διατυπώσουν τις πολιτικές τους θέσεις σχετικά με την τυραννία και την ελευθερία. Τέλος, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη την επίμαχη φράση του Βύρωνα «η ποίηση της πολιτικής», υποστηρίζεται ότι η περίπτωση της Ιταλίας αποδεικνύει ότι δεν μπορεί να γίνει σαφής διαχωρισμός ανάμεσα στη Ρομαντική ποίηση και πολιτική, καθώς η αισθητική και η πολιτική της περιόδου τείνουν να είναι αλληλένδετες και όχι αλληλοαναιρούμενες.

6 12 ; S ; This work theoretically analyzes the sound absorption properties of a chirped multi-layer porous material including transmission, in particular showing the broadband unidirectional absorption properties of the system. Using the combination of the impedance matching condition and the balance between the leakage and the intrinsic losses, the system is designed to have broadband unidirectional and quasi perfect absorption. The transfer and scattering matrix formalism, together with numerical simulations based on the finite element method are used to demonstrate the results showing excellent agreement between them. The proposed system allows to construct broadband sound absorbers with improved absorption in the low frequency regime using less amount of material than the complete bulk porous layer.

215 218 26 2 ; S ; We study mixing properties (topological mixing and weak mixing of arbitrary order) for nonautonomous linear dynamical systems that are induced by the corresponding dynamics on certain invariant sets. The kinds of nonautonomous systems considered here can be defined using a sequence of linear operators on a topological vector space X such that there is an invariant set Y for which the dynamics restricted to Y satisfies a certain mixing property. We then obtain the corresponding mixing property on the closed linear span of Y. We also prove that the class of nonautonomous linear dynamical systems that are weakly mixing of order nn contains strictly the corresponding class with the weak mixing property of order n+1.

The article aims to study the correspondence between the Italian State man Massimo d'Azeglio and the French Eugène Rendu from 1845 to 1867. The 229 letters that have been retained appear to be an interesting testimony of the structuring in the middle of the nineteenth century of a transnational forum for debate on the Italian issue. Above all, they show the benefits that each of the two men put forward from this relationship. Indeed, the letters update the role of Eugène Rendu in disseminating Massimo d'Azeglio's ideas and writing in France. They also show how the French has consistently sought to highlight his proximity to the Italian statesman in order to legitimise his ideas, albeit minority among French Catholics, towards the Italian national movement. ; International audience ; The article aims to study the correspondence between the Italian State man Massimo d'Azeglio and the French Eugène Rendu from 1845 to 1867.

[EN] In this paper, we construct two linearly independent response processes to the random Legendre differential equation on (-1,1)U(1,3), consisting of Lp(omega) convergent random power series around the regular¿singular point 1. A theorem on the existence and uniqueness of Lp(omega) solution to the random Legendre differential equation on the intervals (-1,1) and (1,3) is obtained. The hypotheses assumed are simple: initial conditions in Lp(omega) and random input A in L infinite(omega) (this is equivalent to A having absolute moments that grow at most exponentially). Thus, this paper extends the deterministic theory to a random framework. Uncertainty quantification for the solution stochastic process is performed by truncating the random series and taking limits in Lp(omega). In the numerical experiments, we approximate its expectation and variance for certain forms of the differential equation. The reliability of our approach is compared with Monte Carlo simulations and generalized polynomial chaos expansions. Calatayud-Gregori, J.; Cortés, J.; Jornet-Sanz, M. (2019).

The following story is rooted in the most recent contemporary history, the one that saw between 1980 and 2000 experiences of cultural development aimed at revitalising rural areas close to major cities. In the mid-1990s, the Centre Rural d'Animation Culturelle de l'Entre-Deux-Mers was a particularly active association in the eastern part of the department of Gironde, with 70 employees working in the cultural, economic and social fields. Its dislocation in 2001 (about ten associations resumed and sometimes developed its activity) brought the CRAC into history, making it possible to treat it today as a finished object from a multidisciplinary perspective. The archives of the CRAC (minutes of boards of directors and general meetings, press files, letters, grant applications) on which this article is based are more numerous and accessible, as are the main players, most of whom reside in the Entre-Deux-Mers. ; L'histoire qui suit s'enracine dans l'histoire contemporaine la plus récente, celle qui a vu entre 1980 et 2000 émerger des expériences de développement culturel visant à revitaliser les zones rurales proches des grandes villes.

Abstract This paper analyzes the diversification and initiatives of economic and productive promotion in the 18th century developed by traders in three areas of South America, which are the Kingdom of Chile, the Governorate of Tucuman and the Tarija district. Through case studies, the researchers identify, describe and provide details of the diverse economic activities: commercial, agricultural, mining and proto-industrial, promoted by economic mercantile agents at the end of the colonial period, based on commercial correspondence private, inventories of goods, testimonies, civil and criminal trials. The results show that, despite the importance placed on the development of initiatives to promote production by certain political-bureaucratic sectors, the scope was relative, among other things due to the dynamics of the markets, the financing system and rational calculation of the profit.

S ; [EN] Most cardiac arrhythmias can be classified as atrial flutter, focal atrial tachycardia, or atrial fibrillation. They have been usually treated using drugs, but catheter ablation has proven more effective. This is an invasive method devised to destroy the heart tissue that disturbs correct heart rhythm. In order to accurately localise the focus of this disturbance, the acquisition and processing of atrial electrograms form the usual mapping technique. They can be single potentials, double potentials, or complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE) potentials, and last ones are the most effective targets for ablation. The electrophysiological substrate is then localised by a suitable signal processing method. Sample Entropy is a statistic scarcely applied to electrograms but can arguably become a powerful tool to analyse these time series, supported by its results in other similar biomedical applications. However, the lack of an analysis of its dependence on the perturbations usually found in electrogram data, such as missing samples or spikes, is even more marked. This paper applied SampEn to the segmentation between non-CFAE and CFAE records and assessed its class segmentation power loss at different levels of these perturbations. The results confirmed that SampEn was able to significantly distinguish between non-CFAE and CFAE records, even under very unfavourable conditions, such as 50% of missing data or 10% of spikes.

The 'scandalous alliance' between King Très Chrétien and the Grand Turc — which began to build in 1525, during the captivity of the sovereign in Spain — undoubtedly gave rise to a real black legend around François I. Imperial propaganda is, of course, fierce to condemn the French King's contempt of Respublica Christiana, thereby fuelling his bad reputation. For its part, French propaganda justifies the monarch's political choices, putting forward the reasons for the Kingdom's defence against the imperial encirclement. Following a brief account of the more grasping moments of the alliance between the Fleur de Lys and the Croissor against the Imperial Aigle, this article aims to give an overview of the reactions to this agreement among culturally minded people on the Italian peninsula. The latter remains a key territorial issue in the conflict between François Ier and his eternel rival Charles Quint. In particular, this work focuses on Pierre Arétin's work and, in particular, on various tasks that the Prince scourge sends to the sovereign. The polemist blames the monarch and warns him against the openione mala that ringes in the heart of his vassals and allies, because of collusion with the worst of the inloyals. ; International audience The outrageous alliance between the Most Christian King and the Great Turk that started as early as 1525 during the captivity of Francis I in Spain and caused a black legend around the French king.

French propaganda on the other hand justified the political choice of the monarch pretending he had to defend the kingdom surrounded by the Imperial forces.

This paper evidences the strategic positioning of positive and negative words within a CEO letter as a subtle form of impression management. We find that managers tend to present information in such an order that the reader of the CEO letter has a more positive perception of the underlying message. We uncover a smile in the frequency of positive words within the letter, and a half smile in the intratextual distribution of negative words, with a prevalence of negative words at the beginning of the letter. We also find a significant positive association between this qualitative impression management and the use of abnormal accruals in earnings management. We propose sentiment analytics that can compensate for the strategic management of narrative structure and find that the proposed position weighted sentiment has more predictive power for the firm performance over the next year.

The specific contribution of the book Marcel Mauss, Henri Hubert and sociology of religions (MMHH) is thinner. Its main purpose, which is dominated by facsimile and transcripts of correspondence, reading sheets, manuscripts, is to analyse the preparation of 'The test on the nature and function of sacrifice' (Chapter 2) and 'The outline of a general theory of magy' (Chapter 3). The very short chapter 1 shows the meeting between the two men. The fourth and final chapter deals in less than 10 pages with the reception of 'L'Essai' and 'L'Esquisse'; Jean-Pierre Vernant and Marcel Detienne, in particular, considered that Mauss and Hubert had not taken into account the close links in ancient Greece between sacrifice and the political life of the city; Luc de Heusch considered that the two authors had, on the basis of the case of vedic rite, carried out abusive generalisations leading to an overestimation of the importance of the lay/sacred opposition — irrelevant in the case of African oral rites. A first annex contains the main part of the 1898 Mauss-Hubert correspondence (fifteen letters from Hubert and six letters from Mauss, dealing mainly with the preparation of 'L'Essai'). A second is based on official texts from Hubert and Mauss initially published in the Revue Française de Sociologie with presentations by Ph. Besnard (1979, 20, 1, pp. 205-220). ; L'apport spécifique du livre Marcel Mauss, Henri Hubert et la sociologie des religions (MMHH) est plus mince.

Le très court chapitre 1 retrace la rencontre entre les deux hommes.

8499 8504 12 42 ; S ; The aim of the present work is to develop two-channel emitters to probe local hydrophobicity by means of fluorescence quenching within different biomimetic supramolecular environments. To achieve this goal, the dansyl (Dns) and tryptophan (Trp) fluorophores have been covalently attached to cholic acid (CA) in order to ensure simultaneous incorporation of the two emitting units into the same compartment. In principle, the two fluorophores of the synthesized Dns-CA-Trp probes could either exhibit an orthogonal behavior or display excited state interactions. The fluorescence spectra of 3 beta-Dns-CA-Trp showed a residual Trp emission band at ca. 350 nm and an enhanced Dns maximum in the 500-550 nm region. This reveals a partial intramolecular energy transfer, which is consistent with the Dns and Trp singlet energies. Thus, the two photoactive units are not orthogonal; nevertheless, 3 beta-Dns-CA-Trp seems appropriate as a two-channel reporter for the supramolecular systems of interest. Fluorescence quenching of 3 beta-Dns-CA-Trp by iodide (which remains essentially in bulk water) was examined within sodium cholate, sodium taurocholate, sodium deoxycholate and mixed micelles. Interestingly, a decrease in the emission intensity of the two bands was observed with increasing iodide concentrations. The most remarkable effect was observed for mixed micelles, where the quenching rate constants were one order of magnitude lower than in solution. As anticipated, the quenching efficiency by iodide decreased with increasing hydrophobicity of the microenvironment, a trend that can be correlated with the relative accessibility of the probe to the ionic quencher.
