Descripción del ms. 80 de la Zawiyya Hamzawiyya

La Zawiya Hamzawiya forma parte de las bibliotecas marroquíes descritas en les bibliothéques au Maro por Latifa Benjelloun-Larouil. Anteriormente, Mutrammad al-Mannünt había publicado un inventario de los fondos de la biblioteca entre los que se hace referencia al manuscrito 80 aunque sin especificar todo su contenido. En este mismo artículo introducía un resumen de la historia de la ZÁvwya haciendo hincapié en los principales copistas que trabajaron en ella, así como en las expediciones locales y extranjeras que consultaron sus manuscritos.

Triplement subalternes

La poeta i traductora Maria-Mercè Marçal moltes vegades va escriure sobre la seva «triple rebel·lió» per haver nascut dona, de classe baixa i nació oprimida. Amb el temps ella mateixa va explicar que de les tres circumstàncies dues van pesar més, la condició de dona i la llengua. En aquest article voldríem afegir-n’hi una altra: la traducció. En els països catalans la història de la traducció en femení, potser pel fet de ser dones, catalanes i traductores, està impregnada de trets no hegemònics. La tria d’originals, els textos introductoris a les versions i els comentaris que han rebut mostren que tenim al davant una genealogia femenina traductològica en català, la qual, però, en bona part ha estat invisibilitzada fins ara.

De la societat d'origen a la societat d'acollida: una aproximació als processos migratoris de les dones marroquines i dominicanes.

L'article exposa la primera part d'una investigació de dos anys i mig de durada, subvencionada per l'Institut de la Dona (Ministeri de Treball i Afers Socials), sobre la migració femenina a l'estat espanyol, centrada en les comunitats marroquines i dominicanes. L'objectiu que es pretenia era conèixer els processos migratoris d'aquestes dones, comprendre'ls, identificar canvis i pèrdues i aixecar barreres, formulant propostes realistes que contribuïssin a suavitzar els futurs processos migratoris d'altres dones. La metodologia seguida, de caràcter qualitatiu, combina la consulta d'informació amb un treball d'enquesta en el qual es va entrevistar a sis dones d'aquestes dues comunitats, considerades com «informants clau o expertes», atès el seu temps de permanència a la societat d'acollida, la reflexió realitzada sobre la seva pròpia experiència vital i la seva labor i participació en associacions, centres o organitzacions de la societat d'acollida que treballen per facilitar l'experiència de la migració. Els límits i les oportunitats dins de la societat d'acollida, el canvi en els espais de relació i les pràctiques solidàries que estableixen, juntament amb les propostes que realitzen les mateixes protagonistes, són alguns dels principals resultats d'aquesta investigació.

Hydrological evidence for a North Atlantic oscillation during the Little Ice Age outside its range observed since 1850.

An annual-resolved precipitation reconstruction for the last 800 yr in Southern Spain has been performed using stable carbon isotope (δ13C) of Pinus nigra tree rings. The reconstruction exhibits high- to low-frequency variability and distinguishes a Little Ice Age (LIA, AD 13501850) characterized by lower averaged rainfall than both in the transition from the Medieval Climate Anomaly to the LIA and in the 20th century. The driest conditions are recorded during the Maunder solar Minimum (mid 17thearly 18th centuries), in good agreement with the Spanish documentary archive. Similar linkage between solar activity (maximum/minimum) and precipitation (increase/decrease) is observed throughout the entire LIA. Additionally, the relationship between the hydrological pattern in the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco during the LIA suggests different spatial distribution of precipitation in the south-eastern sector of the North Atlantic region such as it is known currently. Whereas in the instrumental record the precipitation evolves similarly in both regions and opposite to the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO) index, the coldest periods of the LIA shows a contrasting pattern with drier conditions in the South of Spain and wetter in Northern Africa. We suggest an extreme negative NAO conditions, accompanied by a southward excursion of the winter rainfall band beyond that observed in the last century, can explain this contrast. The sustained NAO conditions could have been triggered by solar minima and higher volcanic activity during the LIA.

Alfred Werner e Heinrich Rheinboldt: genealogia e legado científico

The centenary of Alfred Werner's Nobel Prize in Chemistry has prompted this retrospect on his important contributions for the development of stereochemistry and for the understanding of the nature of the coordination compounds. His genealogy has been described, including a discussion on the famous Jørgensen-Werner controversy. As an extension, it has also been reported the German biography of Heinrich Rheinboldt, the founder of the Chemistry School at the University of São Paulo, and his relation with Werner's scientific heritage.

Political philosophy, ethnology, and time: a study of the notion of historical handicap

This article starts by identifying the crucial importance of the notion of historical handicap for the present-day social sciences of Latin America. Such notion is not an original invention made by Latinamericanists. On the contrary, I demonstrate that the genealogy of the notion of historical handicap must be sought in the tradition of Western political philosophy. Such genealogy must take into account the way it was integrated into ethnological descriptions. When and how did the Other become the backward, the primitive? While this relation was secondary for ancient Greek thought, theories of historical development became the main source of ethnological categories in the modern era. Interestingly enough, this modern synthesis suited the practical purpose of justifying two successive waves of European imperialistic: the era of discoveries, and 19th century colonialism. The article concludes by raising questions about the present role and application of the social sciences.

Quality characteristics of Moroccan sweet paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) at different sampling times

"La Niora" is a red pepper variety cultivated in Tadla Region (Morocco) which is used for manufacturing paprika after sun drying. The paprika quality (nutritional, chemical and microbiological) was evaluated immediately after milling, from September to December. Sampling time mainly affected paprika color and the total capsaicinoid and vitamin C contents. The commercial quality was acceptable and no aflatoxins were found, but the microbial load sometimes exceeded permitted levels.

Identification and characterisation of phenolic compounds extracted from Moroccan olive mill wastewater

Olive mill wastewater, hereafter noted as OMWW was tested for its composition in phenolic compounds according to geographical areas of olive tree, i.e. the plain and the mountainous areas of Tadla-Azilal region (central Morocco). Biophenols extraction with ethyl acetate was efficient and the phenolic extract from the mountainous areas had the highest concentration of total phenols' content. Fourier-Transform-Middle Infrared (FT-MIR) spectroscopy of the extracts revealed vibration bands corresponding to acid, alcohol and ketone functions. Additionally, HPLC-ESI-MS analyses showed that phenolic alcohols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, secoiridoids and derivatives and lignans represent the most abundant phenolic compounds. Nüzhenide, naringenin and long chain polymeric substances were also detected. Mountainous areas also presented the most effective DPPH scavenging potential compared to plain areas; IC50 values were 11.7 ± 5.6 µg/ml and 30.7 ± 4.4 µg/ml, respectively. OMWW was confirmed as a rich source of natural phenolic antioxidant agents.

Produced subjectivities and productive subjects : locating the potential of the self-reflective blog

Blogging software has popularly been used as a mode of writing about everyday life to interact with others. This thesis examines the political potentials that are opened up by self-reflective blogging. The self-reflective blog is a synergy of self-reflective practices and computer-mediated communication. A genealogy of the history of computer-mediated communication and various public self-reflective practices is conducted to uncover affect as the utility of various economies of subject production. Efforts made to blog-like the efforts made to interact online in other CMCs-are positioned as a kind of affective labor. Adapting Hardt and Negri's (2005) theorization of the multitude, whereby affective labor-the production of social relationshipsis a kind ofbiopolitical production, affect will be determined as a kind ofbiopolitical power that exists in everyday life.

Buffalo, Brantford & Goderich Railway, County of Welland account book, 1853

The Buffalo and Brantford Railway Company was formed in 1850. The railway was renamed the Buffalo, Brantford & Goderich Railway in 1852 to reflect the plans to extend the line to Goderich. Financial problems led to a British group taking over the railway a few years later and the name was changed to the Buffalo & Lake Huron Railway. It was June 1858 before the line to Goderich was completed. Source: (http://brantford.library.on.ca/genealogy/railways.php#buffalo) March 8, 2010

Port Dalhousie Municipal Records collection, 1863-1940, 1943, n.d.

Benjamin Pawling and Peter Ten Broeck were the earliest known settlers of this area. The village of Port Dalhousie owes its existence to the building of the first Welland Canal in 1824. The village was incorporated in 1862 and as a town in 1948. In the early 1960s it became amalgamated with the city of St. Catharines. Port Dalhousie remains a distinctive part of the city today (2009).
