    Abstract: One of the first thing that comes to your mind after hearing the term “corrosion” is corrosion of a metal. Corrosion is a basically harmful phenomenon, but it can be useful in some cases. For instance, environment’s pollution with corrosion products and damage to the performance of a system are among its harmful effects, whereas electric energy generation in a battery and cathodic protection of many structures are among its advantages. However, these advantages are almost nothing as compared to the costs and effects imposed by its detrimental influences. The enormous costs of this phenomenon can be better understand through studying the published statistics on direct and indirect corrosion damages on economy of governments. The direct cost of corrosion is near 3 % of the gross domestic product (GDP) of USA. Considering this huge cost, it is necessary to develop and expand the corrosion science and its protection technologies

    Abstract: Biological nitrogen fixation has essential role in N cycle in global ecosystem. Several types of nitrogen fixing bacteria are recognized: the free-living bacteria in soil or water; symbiotic bacteria making root nodules in legumes or non-legumes; associative nitrogen fixing bacteria that resides outside the plant roots and provides fixed nitrogen to the plants; endophytic nitrogen fixing bacteria living in the roots, stems and leaves of plants. In this book there are 11 chapters related to biological nitrogen fixation, regulation of legume-rhizobium symbiosis, and agriculture and ecology of biological nitrogen fixation, including new models for autoregulation of nodulation in legumes, endophytic nitrogen fixation in sugarcane or forest trees, etc. Hopefully, this book will contribute to biological, ecological, and agricultural sciences

    Keywords: Electrical engineering
    Abstract: A sustainable future for our information society relies on bridging the gap between the energy required to operate portable ICT devices with the energy available from portable/mobile sources. The only viable solution is attacking the gap from both sides, i.e. to reduce the amount of energy dissipated during computation and to improve the efficiency in energy harvesting technologies. This requires deeper and broader knowledge of fundamental processes and thorough understanding of how they apply to materials and engineering at the nanoscale, all the way up to the design of energy-efficient electronics. This textbook is a first attempt to discuss such concepts towards Zero-Power ICT. The content is accessible to advanced undergraduates and early year researchers fascinated by this topic. The book is realized through the EU-funded ZEROPOWER project

    Abstract: Aux xvie et xviie siècles, l'ordre européen était parfois menacé par des crises d'origine régionale. Ces désordres venaient des initiatives scandaleuses d'acteurs politiques habituellement peu présents sur la scène internationale (municipalités, institutions provinciales, seigneurs locaux). Pour résoudre des conflits internes, parfois contre leur propre souverain, ces acteurs n'hésitaient pas à appeler des puissances étrangères à leur secours, dans des logiques de solidarités politico-religieuses internationales. Les « affaires de Provence» (1580-1598) permettent de comprendre le fonctionnement de ce type de crises. Au plus fort des guerres de Religion en France, les catholiques de Provence appelèrent à leur secours le duc de Savoie, le grand-duc de Toscane, les papes et le roi d'Espagne. Parce que la Provence avait une position stratégique entre Barcelone et Gênes, d'autres puissances intervinrent à leur tour: l'Angleterre, l'Empire ottoman, le duché de Lorraine et la République de Venise. À partir d'une étude minutieuse des événements, ce livre mène une réflexion approfondie sur les défis stratégiques, intellectuels et rhétoriques d'une situation vécue à l'époque comme un désordre international, en raison de la marge de manœuvre subversive acquise par des acteurs ordinairement faibles

    Abstract: Jean d'Arcy (1913-1983) est aujourd'hui connu comme celui qui fut directeur des programmes de télévision dans les années cinquante. Tout était alors à inventer. Cet ouvrage porte un regard sur l'homme de programmes, pionnier d'un modèle de télévision de service public en France. Il resitue les années charnières (1952-1959) dans la vie intellectuelle et professionnelle de Jean d'Arcy. Il trace le portrait de l'homme dans son siècle. Plusieurs contributions se penchent sur les années de formation, soulignent les engagements, éclairent les principes et les formes de son action. Le projet culturel et politique, les registres télévisuels qui l'incarnent et l'approche du public qui en résulte constituent l'un des volets de ce livre, qui montre également comment ce projet s'ancre dans une conception et une vision de l'Europe. Avec ses réussites remarquables, ses contraintes et ses limites. Lors de l'exercice de sa mission à l'Onu comme directeur de la Division radio et des moyens visuels de 1961 à 1971, la réflexon de Jean d'Arcy s'élargit. Cet ouvrage collectif montre comment se construit et circule son analyse de la communication à l'échelle du monde. Sa correspondance et ses discours témoignent de cet intérêt sans relâche pour l'information pensée comme lien entre les peuples dans un contexte d'accélération de la transmission des images. Ainsi, pense-t-il, dès la fin des années soixante, le Droit de 'homme à la communication et la préfiguration d Internet

Son fil d'Ariane est une philosophie du corps déchiffrée à travers le récit de L'Étranger et les peintures du Christ de Piero della Francesca que Camus admire. Et ce sont alors les thèmes de la résurrection du corps et de la transfiguration qui permettent d'explorer les axes les plus prospectifs des textes dans les domaines de l'éthique, de la politique et de l'histoire. Ce livre montre qu'il y a encore, pour nous, aujourd'hui, dans l'expérience singulière et l'œuvre courageuse d'Albert Camus, de quoi penser et résister

    Abstract: Quoi de commun entre l'enfant qui chaparde les cerises, l'assassin qui égorge les rentiers, le domestique indélicat, le pickpocket, le rat d'hôtel, la kleptomane, le cambrioleur ? Rien, sinon cette étiquette de voleurs qui recouvre une large variété de types sociaux et d'imaginaires. À des degrés bien différents, tous font l'objet d'une réprobation morale. Car le vol dérange l'ordre social : comme l'écrit Michelle Perrot, le xixe siècle est animé d'une véritable « obsession propriétaire » qui ne se relâche guère avant les années 1960. Le fait est connu, mais il reste trop souvent vu de loin. Comment prendre en compte les évolutions chronologiques dans une société qui s'enrichit et accède plus massivement à la propriété ? Comment envisager les spécificités géographiques (le voleur des villes n'est pas le voleur des champs, ni le maraudeur de banlieue) ? Comment distinguer, enfin, des groupes sociaux, des genres, des âges ? C'est tout le pari de cet ouvrage qui propose d'examiner, dans leur diversité, les imaginaires et les représentations du vol aux xixe siècle et xxe siècles, du Code pénal aux blousons noirs. De Jean Valjean aux Valseuses, en passant par Lupin et Bonnot, mais aussi par une foule de petits délinquants obscurs, il s'agit d'éclairer un envers de l'histoire de la France contemporaine

    Abstract: Peut-on décider de croire à la vérité d'une proposition, sans motifs, ou du moins sans motifs rationnels apparents ? Un tel acte d'adhésion peut-il procéder de la seule volonté, à l'exclusion de toute autre forme de détermination ? Ces questions sont récurrentes dans l'histoire de la philosophie. Elles ne sont pas étrangères, loin s'en faut, à la philosophie médiévale : les philosophes et théologiens d'alors, dans l'horizon de la réflexion sur le statut de la foi chrétienne, ont été amenés à examiner les modalités psychologiques de l'adhésion au dogme défendu par l'Église. Parmi ces théologiens, il en est un que l'historiographie a fréquemment présenté comme un partisan radical du volontarisme : Guillaume d'Ockham (1285-1347). Ce dernier étant, de surcroît, nominaliste, il était tentant de lier volontarisme et nominalisme, et de rapprocher le nominalisme des crises intellectuelles du Moyen Âge tardif. L'ambition de la présente étude est de reprendre à nouveaux frais cette question, en se focalisant d'abord sur un argument de Guillaume d'Ockham en faveur d'un fondement volontaire de la foi, et sa critique par le dominicain Robert Holcot († 1349). L'enjeu du débat semble davantage concerner la portée de la naturalisation des états mentaux défendue par la plupart des nominalistes. Face à cette alternative, les théologiens nominalistes postérieurs, de Pierre d'Ailly (1351-1420) à Jean Mair (1467-1550), vont chercher une voie moyenne entre volontarisme et naturalisme, et revenir à des positions plus classiques, refermant en quelque sorte cette parenthèse naturaliste. Pourtant, ce dont témoignent de façon symptomatique ces débats, c'est du renforcement de l'approche purement interne de la foi, de l'importance accordée à la conviction intime, à l'intention pure. À ce titre, ils accompagnent indubitablement les mutations de la religion chrétienne à la fin du Moyen Âge

L'objet de ce livre consiste à réviser cette lecture en dégageant l'intérêt des rapports qu'entretiennent, en particulier dans le Léviathan, système philosophique et récit historique. Car il y a bien un « problème de l'histoire » chez Hobbes. L'histoire dans tous ses champs, civils et sacrés, antiques et modernes, narratifs et exégétiques, l'a occupé toute sa vie. Surtout, il a lesté le Léviathan de contenus historiques qui forment plus de la moitié de son volume. Mieux, vingt ans après son traité majeur, il s'est fait historien de la guerre civile anglaise, avec le Béhémoth. Il affirme pourtant, dans tous ses grands traités, que l'objet de la philosophie politique consiste à atteindre les principes anhistoriques de la souveraineté et de l'obéissance. Le présent ouvrage s'attache à défaire cette difficulté en montrant que s'il sépare méthodiquement système et récits, Hobbes les articule toujours dans l'unité de ses questions fondamentales

    Abstract: Ce texte retrace une série de présents successifs traversés au cours d'un cheminement qui va de l'engagement politique à l'étude des usages politiques du passé ou encore à celle de l'écriture de l'histoire et de son enseignement, mais ce cheminement n'a rien d'une trajectoire nécessaire. Bien sûr en raison de la façon dont le récit de ces présents est construit, comme de son premier destinataire - un jury universitaire -, il ne peut que procéder d'une mise en cohérence a posteriori. J'ai toutefois tenté de laisser à la contingence, au hasard, aux rencontres, leur juste place. Mes lieux d'histoire ont été le plus souvent des lieux institutionnellement faibles comme les IUFM, ou des lieux choisis en marge de l'institution comme la revue Espaces Temps ou bien encore le « DDG » - l'attelage que nous formons depuis près de quinze ans avec Christian Delacroix et François Dosse -, mais j'avoue avoir toujours trouvé en m'investissant dans ces périphéries une liberté qui me convient. Au fil des pages j'ai donc tâché, de bon gré, persuadé que l'exercice m'était profitable, d'ouvrir ma boîte à outils, de montrer les articulations d'un parcours et les ressorts d'un faire de l'histoire

    Abstract: Accusé par Burgh de considérer sa propre philosophie comme la meilleure de toutes, Spinoza rectifie : il sait seulement qu'est vraie celle qu'il comprend. Mais on ne trouvera chez lui ni réelle thématisation ni véritable définition de l'idée de philosophie, pas plus qu'un vaste programme de connaissances, comme s'appliquent à en dresser Bacon, Descartes ou Hobbes. Cet ouvrage enquête alors sur la présence, chez Spinoza, d'une conception précise, voire singulière, de l'idée de philosophie. Étudier les occurrences du terme « philosophie », la nature de la définition qui en est proposée, les raisons de passer du titre pressenti de Philosophie à celui d'Éthique, voilà qui produit autant d'indices d'une idée de philosophie comme praxis de distinction ou, selon l'expression d'Althusser, comme activité de tracer des lignes de démarcation. Mais l'ouvrage établit encore que la philosophie ne prend elle-même sens qu'en ce geste, c'est-à-dire par le biais de relations nécessaires avec ce qui a priori n'est pas elle : le vulgaire, l'ignorant, le théologien, le souverain ou même d'autres philosophes. L'idée de philosophie, en d'autres termes, s'autoproduit dans un système de rencontres singulières. En analyser les fruits permet alors de recomposer la nature de la « vraie philosophie » : une pratique de production d'idées et de leur communication. Mais se fait jour, en outre, comme un naturel philosophe, un effort s'éprouvant selon une réjouissance propre au « vrai philosophe », déjà sage en vertu de son mouvement, visant son perfectionnement et l'accroissement de sa puissance

    Abstract: Jeremy Bentham entend dépasser les théories du contrat social et développer une philosophie politique fondée exclusivement sur le principe d'utilité. Il considère en effet que le contrat social est une fiction et que « la saison de la fiction est désormais terminée ». Pourtant, le détour par la fiction est nécessaire pour introduire l'unité dans la multitude et instituer un peuple. Bentham affirme que les individus qui composent la multitude atteignent leur plus grande unité lorsqu'ils s'assemblent en un « tribunal de l'opinion publique ». Et, même si ses effets sont réels, ce tribunal est bel et bien une « entité fictive ». L'attitude de Bentham à l'égard des fictions est donc ambiguë. Elle nécessite de les définir rigoureusement et de déterminer leurs conditions de recevabilité. De ce point de vue, l'utilitarisme benthamien se réalise comme théorie des fictions. Il s'agit d'opposer au contrat social des fictions fondées sur le réel et qui permettent de l'organiser, en vue de promouvoir la fin fixée par le principe d'utilité : le plus grand bonheur du plus grand nombre

    Abstract: La centralité du travail dans nos existences n'est plus à démontrer mais comment en cerner la portée ? Cet ouvrage propose de l'éclairer à partir des rapports entre le temps et le travail. Notre approche vise à saisir simultanément les transformations du temps du travail et ses incidences sur les autres temps sociaux. Les contributions rassemblées ici permettent de faire le lien entre des réalités trop souvent saisies séparément : celles du travail d'un côté, celles de l'éducation formation, de la famille et de l'organisation domestique de l'autre. Or, il importe de les relier dans la mesure où les transformations du travail et des modes de vie s'inscrivent dans une dynamique salariale qui rythme les existences de plus en plus tôt, de plus en plus tard et de plus en plus profondément. Simultanément, les temps sociaux s'enchevêtrent en cours d'existence dans le cadre de tensions toujours plus vives qu'il importe de saisir non seulement à travers les quantités de temps qu'ils nous disputent mais également à travers les évolutions qualitatives qu'elles rendent possibles. La question est alors de savoir comment s'extraire de l'emprise de l'urgence et de l'accélération dans les faits comme dans l'analyse afin de saisir le présent dans son épaisseur temporelle

    Abstract: L'inceste marque de sa monstruosité les consciences collectives. Cantonné dans la sphère du tabou et de l'infamie, nul ne peut le discuter, nul ne peut le pratiquer. Le phénomène existe pourtant sous différentes formes selon les sociétés dans lesquelles il est rencontré et pensé. En France, au xixe siècle, l'inceste a une histoire. Lorsqu'en 1791 les Constituants décident de le décriminaliser, la société française voit s'ouvrir un siècle de débats qui conduit à une requalification profonde du phénomène et de son imaginaire. L'étude croisée des discours entretenus par les élites souligne les étapes qui ont présidé à la construction de l'inceste criminel. À la fin du siècle, il n'est plus l'apanage des aristocrates décriés par les Lumières mais bien celui d'hommes pauvres, devenus les symboles d'une nouvelle dangerosité. La justice, par l'entrelacement de ses échelles et de ses acteurs, contribue également à fabriquer et à imposer progressivement ce masque sur le phénomène incestueux. Mais l'inceste n'est pas qu'un crime au xixe siècle. En tentant de pénétrer au cœur même des familles, cet ouvrage montre qu'il peut également être une sexualité consentie qui se pratique dans la clandestinité de certains foyers français. Réalité multiforme, interdit plus que tabou, l'inceste mérite en ce sens d'être replacé dans une histoire plus courte que l'intemporalité des anthropologues

    Abstract: La multiplication des opérations de maintien de la paix des Nations Unies depuis le début des années 1990 s'est accompagnée d'une diversification de leurs activités. Aux opérations de maintien de la paix stricto sensu s'ajoutent à présent des opérations de rétablissement de la paix, dans le cadre desquels le recours à la force a acquis une place fondamentale. Comparé à la diversité des missions confiées aux opérations de maintien de la paix des Nations Unies, le statut de leurs agents est quant à lui globalement resté homogène, présentant dès lors actuellement des ambiguïtés. Les agents du maintien de la paix - « agents civils » et « bérets bleus » - se divisent en outre en plusieurs catégories, en fonction de la nature de leur lien avec les Nations Unies ou avec leur État d'envoi, ce qui a des effets variables sur l'engagement de leur responsabilité individuelle. Le principe d'autonomie des Nations Unies a également entraîné des conséquences insatisfaisantes en termes d'engagement de la responsabilité des Nations Unies et des États d'envoi des forces pour les infractions commises par les agents du maintien de la paix, dans les ordres interne et international. En puisant dans la pratique des Nations Unies et dans les jurisprudences nationales et internationales, cette étude se propose d'analyser le cadre juridique de l'action des casques bleus des Nations Unies sous un angle prospectif. L'étude propose ainsi l'adoption de réformes au sein du système onusien, et analyse les jurisprudences nationales et internationales en ayant à l'esprit la nécessaire conciliation entre les impératifs du maintien de la paix et le respect des droits de l'homme, tant ceux des agents du maintien de la paix, que ceux des individus potentiellement victimes de leurs actes

    Abstract: De 1838 à 1858, en Grande-Bretagne, dans la première société industrielle, le chartisme fut un mouvement ouvrier inédit, mobilisant, à son apogée, trois millions d'hommes et de femmes. Les militants de la Charte du Peuple luttaient pour le suffrage universel et une société démocratique qui permettent à chacun de vivre dignement de son travail. À travers des pétitions de masse adressées au Parlement, des rassemblements et des manifestations, des journaux, des chants et des communautés villageoises, les chartistes envisageaient une autre société. Le chartisme étudie le mouvement dans son intégralité, en Grande-Bretagne et en Irlande. S'appuyant sur une grande maîtrise des archives et des publications d'époque, l'auteur s'est particulièrement intéressé à l'expérience des hommes, des femmes et des enfants du mouvement. Le récit haletant est entrecoupé de courtes « vies chartistes », qui constituent autant de passionnantes biographies. Cet ouvrage est, depuis 1913, le premier en français sur le sujet

    Abstract: Dans la grande tradition républicaine européenne, la France ferait-elle figure d'exception, par le contenu qu'elle aurait donné à son républicanisme ? Et ce contenu se distinguerait-il avant tout par son insistance particulière sur la question de la justice sociale et de l'égalité des conditions ? Telle est la double question qu'affronte le présent volume, ayant réuni des chercheurs venus d'horizons divers : historiens, politistes, philosophes. La question de l'existence d'une spécificité, ni même, a fortiori, d'une exception républicaine française demeure ouverte à l'issue du parcours que propose l'ouvrage. Celui-ci réunit néanmoins certains éléments qui montrent que par l'appel à la souveraineté populaire et l'exigence d'une action politique en faveur de formes plus ou moins fortes d'égalitarisme, la tradition républicaine française revêt une radicalité particulière

    Abstract: Soybean is the most important oilseed and livestock feed crop in the world. These dual uses are attributed to the crop's high protein content (nearly 40% of seed weight) and oil content (approximately 20%); characteristics that are not rivaled by any other agronomic crop. Across the 10-year period from 2001 to 2010, world soybean production increased from 168 to 258 million metric tons (54% increase). Against the backdrop of soybean's striking ascendancy is increased research interest in the crop throughout the world. Information in this book presents a comprehensive view of research efforts in genetics, plant physiology, agronomy, agricultural economics, and nitrogen relationships that will benefit soybean stakeholders and scientists throughout the world. We hope you enjoy the book

    Keywords: Climate change
    Abstract: Environments around the globe are undergoing human-induced change. Human population growth, rapid urbanization, expanding global economy, and the diffusion of western consumer lifestyles are placing increasing pressure on natural and social systems. Global institutions, nation-states, and local communities are seeking to identify and employ sustainable solutions to these environmental and socio-economic challenges. Sustainability has emerged as a policy discourse that seeks to balance the desire and need for economic growth with the protection of the environment, and the promotion of social and environmental justice. This book contributes to the study and search for sustainable responses to global environmental change. The authors of this volume explore environmental change in different places around the world and the diverse responses to such changes. The chapters demonstrate the need for place-specific sustainable development; the authors suggest the need to see sustainable responses to environmental change as a negotiated outcome between various social actors living and working in diverse spatial, environmental and socio-economic contexts. Environmental Change and Sustainability is a timely international examination of the relationship between environmental change and sustainability. As an InTech open source volume, current and cutting edge research methodologies and research results are quickly published for the academic policy-making communities. Dimensions of environmental change and sustainability explored in this volume include: Natural science approaches to study of environmental change Importance of perception in human understanding of environmental change Role of external events and institutions in shaping sustainable responses to environmental change Importance of bottom-up sustainable development as key to reducing environmental risk and community vulnerability The need for place-based sustainable development that combines local conditions with global processes Creation of a sustainable development model that synthesizes local, traditional knowledge of the environment and environmental management with the techniques and understandings generated by modern environmental science

    Keywords: Plant physiology
    Abstract: The idea of this book was born due to the rapid increase of the interest in excellence of agricultural production in the aspect of both – the quality of raw material for food production as well as in the aspect of environment protection. Agrophysics is a field of science that focuses on the quality of agriculture as a whole i.e. the interaction between human and environment, especially the interaction between soil, plant, atmosphere and machine. Physics with its laws, principles and rules is a good tool for description of the interactions, as well as of the results of these interactions. Some aspects of chemistry, biology and other fields of science are also taken under consideration. This interdisciplinary approach can result in holistic description of processes which should lead to improvement of the efficiency of obtaining the raw materials to ensure a sufficient amount of food, safe for human health. This book could be regarded as the contribution to this description. The reader can find some basic as well, as more particular aspects of the contemporary agriculture, starting with the soil characteristics and treatment, plant growth and agricultural products’ properties and processing

    Abstract: The prediction of China's rise is the subject of this book. The main ideas of this book are derived from Kanshokufuji, a new concept proposed by the chief editor of Prof. Nanseki, pertaining to a sound food system in a sound agro-environment. It implies that food supply and demand are non-separable in terms of location due to the importance of retaining the suitable condition of the environment and biodiversity in the region. This concept is necessary and useful for coping with environmental issues and related food safety issues. From this view point, several integrated surveys in both rural and urban areas of China were conducted by the food risk research group at the Research Institute for East Asia Environments (RIEAE), Kyushu University to reveal the current status of the environment, food, and agriculture in this country. The results of the surveys are introduced in this book, along with implications and recommendations. We hope this book be referential for policy-makers, researchers and industry personnel relating to food, agriculture and environment

    Keywords: Acoustic & sound engineering
    Abstract: Acoustics is a mature field which enjoys a never ending youth. New developments are induced by either the search for a better understanding, or by technological innovations. Micro-fabrication techniques introduced a whole new class of microdevices, which exploit acoustic waves for various tasks, and in particular for information processing and for sensing purposes. Performance improvements are achievable by better modelling tools, able to deal with more complex configurations, and by more refined techniques of fabrication and of integration in technological systems, like wireless communications. Several chapters of this book deal with modelling and fabrication techniques for microdevices, including unconventional phenomena and configurations. But this is far from exhausting the research lines in acoustics. Theoretical analyses and modelling techniques are presented, for phenomena ranging from the detection of cracks to the acoustics of the oceans. Measurement methods are also discussed, which probe by acoustic waves the properties of widely different systems

    Abstract: Le développement fulgurant des biotechnologies et les modifications en cours des équilibres écosystémiques conduisent à porter au premier plan le souci pour la vie et pour la nature. Ces inquiétudes font naître le besoin d'une éthique dont la vie serait l'objet spécifique. Cependant, et dans le même moment, une inquiétude contraire se fait sentir. La prépondérance du thème de la vie n'exprime-t-elle pas un recul de notre modèle de civilisation ? Nous avons construit notre monde, et même le monde, en refusant de rabaisser l'homme au niveau de l'espèce et en faisant de l'humanité un idéal irréductible à tout donné biologique. En appeler à une éthique de la vie, n'est-ce pas régresser en deçà des conditions qui ont permis de construire un monde véritablement humain? En proposant une éthique de la responsabilité envers la vie et les générations futures, le grand philosophe allemand Hans Jonas laisse entendre qu'il faut que l'ancien monde meure pour qu'un nouveau puisse naître. D'ailleurs, si la nouvelle éthique porte sur la vie, elle n'en néglige pas pour autant l'homme, puisqu'elle contribue à redéfinir l'humanisme sur des bases plus assurées. La vie n'est peut-être pas en effet seulement cette « chose » fragile à préserver mais également ce qui permet de fonder l'éthique de l'avenir. C'est en tout état de cause de telles propositions que ce livre formule sur un mode critique, livre qui se veut également un hommage à la mémoire de Hans Jonas, mort il y a vingt ans

    Abstract: Lorsque je réfléchis aux conditions dans lesquelles j'ai pu participer à la recherche sur le monde soviétique avant sa chute, une cohérence dont je n'avais pas eu une perception très nette m'apparaît : de façon plus ou moins centrale se trouve posée la question des sources, de celles dont j'ai manqué, de celles qui m'ont aidée, de celles que j'ai construites. Dans ma pratique de chercheure comme dans ma pratique professionnelle, pour moi indissociables. Je n'ignore pas que l'exercice de reconstruction du passé, fût-il scientifique, n'échappe pas à l'« illusion biographique », mais je crois pouvoir relier cette cohérence à mon insertion dans une institution (la BDIC) spécialisée en histoire contemporaine qui m'a formée à la gestion des documents et m'a permis d'en produire. Qu'il s'agisse des archives orales et filmiques, tardivement prises en compte par les historiens, de l'accès, non sans peine, aux archives des états ex-communistes comme des autres, ou encore des progrès de la numérisation, les sources se sont démultipliées depuis peu. Bénéficiant d'un poste privilégié, j'ai pu observer ce moment charnière du « tournant électronique » de la documentation, évocateur d'un autre tournant dans la discipline historique, qui nous encourage à penser ses effets de connaissance sur l'écriture de l'histoire

    Abstract: En hommage au très grand historien que fut François-Xavier Guerra (1942- 2002), ce livre réunit dix-huit essais inspirés par son œuvre et son enseignement sur l'Amérique latine contemporaine. Succédant en 1985 à François Chevalier à I université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, F.-X. Guerra fut internationalement connu comme historien des révolutions hispano-américaines : Révolution mexicaine de 1910, révolutions d'indépendance du début du XIXe siècle, à travers lesquelles il s'est consacré à interroger les paradoxes et les dilemmes de l'avènement de la modernité politique. Il les pensait dans le vaste espace transnational qu'il appelait l'Euro-Amérique, où, avec les hommes et les imprimés, circulent et s'échangent les cultures politiques. A travers discussions historiographiques, bilans méthodologiques et cas concrets, les essais ici rassemblés reprennent à nouveaux frais des questions telles que : les modalités de la transition entre ancien régime et société libérale, qui engagent la définition de la modernité politique, mais invitent aussi bien à réfléchir d'un œil neuf aux transitions démocratiques de la fin du XXe siècle, le rôle joué par la sphère publique dans les processus de sécularisation ; les conditions de pertinence de l'identification des acteurs dans l'histoire du politique; ou encore, le questionnement du nationalisme à partir de l'espace euro-américain. Des historiens européens et latino-américains, collègues ou anciens élèves de F.-X. Guerra, poursuivent ainsi le dialogue avec cette œuvre généreuse et féconde qui n'a pas cessé d'irriguer la réflexion des latino-américanistes

    Abstract: Riche et lumineuse, la carrière du professeur Jean-Claude Masclet s'est spontanément mise au service de l'Université. Jamais rétif à l'exercice de la fonction universitaire ou de la charge administrative, il s'est utilement dévoué à la diffusion du savoir et de l'enseignement du droit. Le professeur Jean-Claude Masclet a oeuvré, avec belle intuition, à l'éclosion et l'essor de plusieurs champs du droit constitutionnel, alors naissants, méconnus ou peu explorés. À l'idée européenne, celui-ci a consacré nombre de ses écrits dont certains ont été traduits en plusieurs langues. Inlassablement, Jean-Claude Masclet a été animé par la volonté d'expliquer la vertu de l'Europe politique comme celle de l'Europe du droit. Avec conviction et habilité, il a su porter par les nombreux travaux que décline sa bibliographie la beauté de l'idéal européen. Les études ici réunies ne pouvaient alors que s'attarder sur ses thèmes de prédilection : la Constitution et l'Europe. L'ouvrage, résolument inscrit dans l'inégalable tradition universitaire des Mélanges, convie l'esprit avide de compréhension à arpenter les champs infinis que déploient les droits constitutionnel et européen

    Abstract: Ce livre n'est pas un nouveau précis d'économie sur la rente : il utilise cette notion pour étudier les trajectoires africaines de développement et sonder leurs possibilités de changement. Les rentes sont ici définies comme des flux de ressources déconnectées des activités productives. Elles reflètent l'histoire tragique de la connexion de l'Afrique au système mondial : de la traite esclavagiste aux ressources extractives, qui fondent la croyance en une « malédiction des ressources naturelles », en passant par l'aide extérieure ou les remises migratoires, les systèmes économiques rentiers scellent les relations asymétriques entre territoires africains et acteurs extérieurs autant que le divorce entre intérêt des élites et population. Enracinés dans l'histoire, ils se sont étoffés et diversifiés depuis la fin du xxe siècle, au point d'apparaître comme un fait de structure, le nœud gordien du sous-développement. La géographie des rentes est une géographie politique. Par ce « voyage » à travers des situations rentières aux implications différentes. qui conduit le lecteur le plus souvent en Afrique de l'Ouest et du centre, l'auteur interroge les espaces de bifurcation associés à une double révolution, où réside l'essentiel du potentiel d'émergence africain, la première est démographique et urbaine, liée à l'explosion de la population et des villes, qui crée des conditions favorables à l'essor de marchés intérieurs, la seconde est polilico-économique ; elle tient à lu négociation progressive de nouvelles conditions de production et d'investissement des rentes, notamment extractives. Sa valorisation suppose l'invention de modèles de gouvernance plus efficaces et démocratique

    Abstract: Premier volume d'un travail collectif sur la construction du militaire initié dans le cadre du séminaire « Guerre et société à l'époque moderne » dirigé par Hervé Drévillon, Bernard Gainot et Benjamin Deruelle, Savoirs et savoir-faire militaires à l'époque moderne s'attache à la problématique de l'éducation militaire, de la préparation des corps et des esprits, de la transmission des savoirs et savoir-faire ainsi que de la formation d'une identité spécifique du militaire de la fin du XVe siècle au début du XIXe siècle. Le parcours chronologique du présent ouvrage propose ainsi de découvrir les transformations qui affectent ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler la condition militaire et le processus de construction d'une société militaire à part et à côté de la société civile. Dans cette période qui s'étend des guerres d'Italie aux prémices de la guerre industrielle contemporaine, sous le Second Empire, et caractérisée, entre autres, par la « Révolution militaire des Temps modernes », naît alors sous nos yeux l'armée moderne pourvue d'une identité et d'une symbolique propres, de valeurs et d'expériences partagées ainsi que d'une éducation de plus en plus spécifique et spécialisée. Les auteurs nous accompagnent ainsi tout au long d'un processus au sein duquel le militaire se construit comme un homme de métier, distinct tant du guerrier que du mercenaire

    Abstract: La guerre, fait de civilisation central de l'histoire de l'Europe, y a produit un héritage historique à la fois différencié et commun. À partir d'exemples pris dans le long XXe siècle ainsi que dans les plus récents développements européens, cet ouvrage revient sur le jeu des traditions militaires communes et des cultures nationales issues des expériences propres à chaque société. L'Europe s'est édifiée jusqu'à présent pour l'essentiel sur la base de processus institutionnels, oubliant largement la dimension culturelle, et c'est sans doute dans le domaine de la Défense que cette négligence a fait le plus sentir ses effets sur les réalisations concrètes. Cet ouvrage voudrait réparer une telle lacune en portant à la lumière le rapport complexe que les Européens, confrontés à de lourds héritages historiques de conflits et d'alliances interétatiques, entretiennent avec la guerre. Il s'agit d'abord de redécouvrir l'influence dans l'esprit des dirigeants et dans les populations, de constructions de l'Autre (Européen ou non-Européen) comme ennemi ou comme allié. C'est le préalable nécessaire à un renouvellement de la pensée stratégique en Europe qui identifie les conditions de convergence des cultures militaires, et redonne toute sa place au facteur humain dans les questions de stratégie. Les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage proposent des analyses nouvelles et originales sur la guerre en Europe, dans une diversité de perspectives aussi bien nationales que transnationales. En combinant des approches stratégiques, historiques, sociologiques et politiques, elles envisagent donc la « sécurité européenne » avant tout dans sa dimension culturelle, pour parvenir à une réflexion critique sur les réalisations et les perspectives de coopération dans le domaine de la « défense européenne »

    Abstract: La philosophie française, sans guillemets, ça n'existe pas. Le présent ouvrage tente d'élucider les conditions dans lesquelles, dans la période post-révolutionnaire, l'investigation philosophique, directement investie dans les transformations de la société, a revêtu les formes singulières qui ont conduit à l'identifier comme « française ». Ce phénomène complexe est examiné à partir d'exemples empruntés aux principaux courants de pensée qui, de la Première République (Sieyès) à la Troisième (Barni), ont alimenté le débat d'idées au cours du xixe siècle, à savoir le conservatisme (Bonald, Maistre, Chateaubriand), le rationalisme (les Idéologues, Cousin, Renan) et le socialisme (l'école saint-simonienne, Proudhon). Mais en réfléchissant à la constitution de ces trois idéologies, on en vient à interroger la constitution du concept même d'« idéologie ». Et ce qui se découvre ainsi, c'est notre histoire, celle dont nous sommes d'autant plus tributaires que nous l'ignorons

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage de géographie de l'environnement présente le mouvement de dépoldérisation qui s'est propagé en Europe occidentale à partir des années 1980, c'est-à-dire le retour délibéré à la mer de marais qui avaient été endigués et asséchés en vue d'une exploitation agricole. Si ce processus de retour à la mer peut paraître anecdotique en termes surfaciques, il pose en réalité des questions fondamentales et paradoxales, car il traduit une rupture spectaculaire dans l'histoire environnementale de l'Europe. Pourquoi, en effet, n'y poldérise-t-on plus et en est-on arrivé à dépoldériser, alors que, durant un millénaire, on a ressenti le besoin de créer 15 000 km2 de terres nouvelles pour des raisons non seulement économiques et démographiques mais aussi défensives ? Répondre à ces questions conduit à analyser les enjeux qui accompagnent la dépoldérisation, sur les plans environnemental, économique, paysager, socioculturel, défensif et juridique. On s'est ainsi interrogé sur l'intérêt écologique d'une submersion des polders, sur l'intérêt économique a priori paradoxal de rendre à la mer des terres longtemps exploitées, sur les avantages paysagers d'un mouvement anéantissant le travail réalisé par l'homme pendant un millénaire et, enfin, sur l'intérêt d'une politique de destruction des digues affaiblissant apparemment la protection des côtes dans une région de tempêtes et un contexte d'élévation eustatique. Pour saisir les moteurs et les entraves à ce processus, il a paru essentiel de se pencher également sur les acteurs capables de mettre en œuvre une politique aussi inattendue et parfois controversée, sur les réactions, les représentations et les traits culturels des sociétés qui ont été confrontées à cet abandon volontaire de terres à la nature, de même que sur les conflits que cela a entraînés. Cet ouvrage propose une étude intégrée de la dépoldérisation en Europe, plaçant ainsi la conjoncture climatique et les dynamiques physiques et écologiques de restauration des marais au même plan que les enjeux, les acteurs, les cultures et les représentations sociales.

    Abstract: Passer devant un juge pour régler un conflit de couple est aujourd'hui chose banale. Mais banal ne veut pas dire récent. Le phénomène a une longue histoire, retracée ici dans le cadre de l'Europe occidentale préindustrielle, des Pays-Bas à l'Espagne et à l'Italie, de la France à la Roumanie, sans négliger les évolutions de la diaspora juive installée au sein de la société chrétienne. Partout, les infractions possibles à la loi qui définit le mariage se durcissent et les procès se multiplient devant les tribunaux laïques ou ecclésiastiques. Rapts, viols, mariages clandestins, adultères et toutes les formes de violences conjugales sont autant de chefs d'accusation maniés par la justice, mais le plus souvent à la demande du couple ou de sa parenté. La question est bien de savoir comment et pourquoi la justice a pu être utilisée, voire instrumentalisée comme une arme dans les querelles matrimoniales, et quel regard a pu être porté sur ces conflits où s'est en particulier joué le sort des femmes

    Abstract: Les OGM suscitent, à tort ou à raison, les inquiétudes de l'opinion et sont l'enjeu de débats scientifiques, juridiques et politiques. La vivacité des réactions auxquelles donnent lieu leur autorisation et leur expérimentation incite à croiser les connaissances et à dépasser les divisions disciplinaires. D'autant que les OGM sont directement à l'origine de l'extension du principe de précaution du droit de l'environnement vers le droit de la santé et qu'ils conduisent inévitablement à s'interroger sur un éventuel excès de précaution dans la recherche permanente de risques potentiels qui viendrait limiter excessivement la liberté d'entreprendre. Cette biotechnologie est aussi emblématique de la protection des libertés individuelles puisque la loi garantit la liberté de produire et de consommer avec ou sans OGM. Ce livre s'efforce d'envisager les questionnements passés, actuels et futurs que pose l'évolution des cultures nourricières, et tente d'apporter des réponses nuancées

    Abstract: « Spinoza », à quoi ça sert ? Et comment s'en servir ? En particulier, comment penser la mise à l'épreuve du rationalisme spécifique dont il est le nom ? L'objectif de ce travail est de contribuer à une réévaluation non seulement du rôle de la pratique dans la pensée de Spinoza, mais encore du système lui-même, de sa capacité à s'adapter et à communiquer avec des domaines tels que les sciences expérimentales, l'histoire, la politique ou la médecine. A travers les concepts et problèmes, tels qu'ils sont formulés dans ses textes, mais également leur utilisation contemporaine, il s'agit ici d'analyser l'articulation de la philosophie de Spinoza au champ de l'action humaine, dans ses dimensions éthique, sociale, cognitive et affective - et d'apprécier la puissance de la rationalité qui en est le fondement. Les auteurs viennent d'horizons différents : professeurs, docteurs, doctorants, étudiants ou érudits originaires de divers pays, ils proposent dans les articles ici présentés des approches variées et originales des problèmes qu'ils traitent, offrant ainsi au lecteur un aperçu de la vitalité des réflexions que suscite aujourd'hui l'oeuvre de Spinoza

    Abstract: Recent studies have shown strong evidence of human activity impact on the climate of the planet. Higher temperatures and intensification of extreme weather events such as hurricanes are among the consequences. This scenario opens up several possibilities for what is now called "green" or low carbon economy. We are talking about creating new businesses and industries geared to develop products and services with low consumption of natural resources and reduced greenhouse gases emission. Within this category of business, biofuels is a highlight and the central theme of this book. The first section presents some research results for first generation ethanol production from starch and sugar raw materials. Chapters in the second section present results on some efforts around the world to develop an efficient technology for producing second-generation ethanol from different types of lignocellulosic materials. While these production technologies are being developed, different uses for ethanol could also be studied. The chapter in the third section points to the use of hydrogen in fuel cells, where this hydrogen could be produced from ethanol

    Abstract: The field of material analysis has seen explosive growth during the past decades. Almost all the textbooks on materials analysis have a section devoted to the Fourier transform theory. For this reason, the book focuses on the material analysis based on Fourier transform theory. The book chapters are related to FTIR and the other methods used for analyzing different types of materials. It is hoped that this book will provide the background, reference and incentive to encourage further research and results in this area as well as provide tools for practical applications. It provides an applications-oriented approach to materials analysis written primarily for physicist, Chemists, Agriculturalists, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Signal Processing Engineers, and the Academic Researchers and for the Graduate Students who will also find it useful as a reference for their research activities

    Abstract: The presently common practice of wastes' land-filling is undesirable due to legislation pressures, rising costs and the poor biodegradability of commonly used materials. Therefore, recycling seems to be the best solution. The purpose of this book is to present the state-of-the-art for the recycling methods of several materials, as well as to propose potential uses of the recycled products. It targets professionals, recycling companies, researchers, academics and graduate students in the fields of waste management and polymer recycling in addition to chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry and physics. This book comprises 16 chapters covering areas such as, polymer recycling using chemical, thermo-chemical (pyrolysis) or mechanical methods, recycling of waste tires, pharmaceutical packaging and hardwood kraft pulp and potential uses of recycled wastes

    Abstract: In our modern society, expectations are high, also with respect to our daily diet. In addition to being merely "nutritious", i.e. supplying a variety of essential nutrients, including macro-nutrients such as proteins or micro-nutrients such as minerals and vitamins, it is almost expected that a good diet offers further advantages - especially well-being and health and the prevention of chronic diseases, which are, as we generally tend to grow older and older, becoming a burden to enjoying private life and to the entire society. These additional qualities are often sought in diets rich also in non-nutritive components, such as phytochemicals. In contrast to drugs, which are taken especially to cure or ameliorate diseases, it is expected that a healthy diet acts in particular on the side of prevention, allowing us to become old without feeling old. In the present book, rather then trying to give an exhaustive overview on nutritional aspects and their link to well-being and health, selected topics have been chosen, intended to address presently discussed key issues of nutrition for health, presenting a reasonable selection of the manifold topics around diet, well-being, and health: from the antioxidants polyphenols and carotenoids, aroma-active terpenoids, to calcium for bone health, back to traditional Chinese Medicine
