Le ©but des coopératives agricoles dans le bassin de l'Harricana est un thème intéressant à ©couvrir au point de vue historique. Il n'y aurait pas lieu d'en parler si l'on fermait les yeux sur l'organisation agricole, en général, où les sociétés coopératives ont joué un rôle en ce qu'elles étaient complémentaires au reste des structures existantes. La colonisation et la coopération en Abitibi, comme dans d'autres régions, furent intimement liées. La période qui nous intéresse dans le présent ouvrage est celle des toutes premières heures de la région, celle de la colonisation agricole qui ©buta en 1912 et qui vit naître la première coopérative de type agricole, en 1917…

Le 23 octobre 1950, M. Paul Villeneuve fondait la Caisse d'établissement de Vaudreuil-Soulanges, coopérative d'épargne et crédit, première institution du genre au Canada. Cette formule séduisante allait entraîner dans son orbite l'ensemble des régions de la belle province et donnerait naissance à la Fé©ration des Caisses d'établissement du Québec. Jusqu'ici, personne n'avait entrepris de retracer la vie de M. Paul Villeneuve. D'ailleurs, sa vie active fut courte puisqu'une grave maladie, survenue au tout ©but de la cinquantaine, freinait la course de ce bâtisseur. La rareté des documents ©peignant celui-ci frappe ¨s l'abord. Son maniement habile des précautions oratoires transparaît dans l'unique copie qui nous soit restée de l'un de ses nombreux discours (Il s'agit de l'allocution présentée lors du 50e anniversaire de la Caisse populaire de Lévis). On repère d'autres traces de son passage dans quelques périodiques comme La Terre de chez nous et dans des procès-verbaux de l'Union catholique des cultivateurs, de la Caisse populaire de Vaudreuil et des trois Caisses d'établissement qu'il a fon©es. M. Paul-Émile Doré mentionne sa contribution dans son essai de maîtrise en coopération intitulé: Les Caisses d'établissement et le crédit agricole (1986). Malheureusement, aucune correspondance ou article de journal n'émanait de cet homme au charisme remarquable; aussi, les personnes l'ayant connu s'avéraient des plus susceptibles de nous renseigner de manière pertinente sur ce captivant personnage. Quelques-unes se sont rendues à l'invitation: c'est le cas de ses enfants Marguerite, Jeanne, François et de son gendre, M. Edgar Marcoux. De précieux collaborateurs de M. Villeneuve, MM. Joseph-Edouard Carrière et Lazare Rozon, nous ont gracieusement accor© de leur temps, tout comme M. Paul-Emile Doré, membre fondateur de la Caisse d'établissement du Saguenay-Lac St-Jean (la plus vieille Caisse d'établissement à l'heure actuelle, celle de Vaudreuil-Soulanges s'étant fusionnée à la Caisse populaire de Vaudreuil).

Significant sums of money are invested in developing technological innovations that have low levels and rates of adoption. Several approaches have been put forward in an effort to improve rates of adoption. This paper presents the results of study that examined the innovation fit of key technological innovations in the beef industry. Findings indicate that be assessing the innovation fit throughout the R&D process researchers and end users can collaborate to improve the innovation fit and the rate of adoption. The paper also put forward a model that demonstrates the linkages between R&D, adoption and innovation fit.

Background Recurrent protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB), chronic suppurative lung disease (CSLD) and bronchiectasis are characterised by a chronic wet cough and are important causes of childhood respiratory morbidity globally. Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae are the most commonly associated pathogens. As respiratory exacerbations impair quality of life and may be associated with disease progression, we will determine if the novel 10-valent pneumococcal-Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV) reduces exacerbations in these children. Methods A multi-centre, parallel group, double-blind, randomised controlled trial in tertiary paediatric centres from three Australian cities is planned. Two hundred six children aged 18 months to 14 years with recurrent PBB, CSLD or bronchiectasis will be randomised to receive either two doses of PHiD-CV or control meningococcal (ACYW(135)) conjugate vaccine 2 months apart and followed for 12 months after the second vaccine dose. Randomisation will be stratified by site, age (<6 years and >= 6 years) and aetiology (recurrent PBB or CSLD/bronchiectasis). Clinical histories, respiratory status (including spirometry in children aged >= 6 years), nasopharyngeal and saliva swabs, and serum will be collected at baseline and at 2, 3, 8 and 14 months post-enrolment. Local and systemic reactions will be recorded on daily diaries for 7 and 30 days, respectively, following each vaccine dose and serious adverse events monitored throughout the trial. Fortnightly, parental contact will help record respiratory exacerbations. The primary outcome is the incidence of respiratory exacerbations in the 12 months following the second vaccine dose. Secondary outcomes include: nasopharyngeal carriage of H. influenzae and S. pneumoniae vaccine and vaccine-related serotypes; systemic and mucosal immune responses to H. influenzae proteins and S. pneumoniae vaccine and vaccine-related serotypes; impact upon lung function in children aged >= 6 years; and vaccine safety. Discussion As H. influenzae is the most common bacterial pathogen associated with these chronic respiratory diseases in children, a novel pneumococcal conjugate vaccine that also impacts upon H. influenzae and helps prevent respiratory exacerbations would assist clinical management with potential short- and long-term health benefits. Our study will be the first to assess vaccine efficacy targeting H. influenzae in children with recurrent PBB, CSLD and bronchiectasis.

Titled "An Essay on Antimetaphoric Resistance", the dissertation investigates what is here being called "Counter-figures": a term which has in this context a certain variety of applications. Any other-than-image or other-than-figure, anything that cannot be exhausted by figuration (and that is, more or less, anything at all, except perhaps the reproducible images and figures themselves) can be considered "counter-figurative" with regard to the formation of images and figures, ideas and schemas, "any graven image, or any likeness of any thing". Singularity and radical alterity, as well as temporality and its peculiar mode of uniqueness are key issues here, and an ethical dimension is implied by, or intertwined with, the aesthetic. In terms borrowed from Paul Celan's "Meridian" speech, poetry may "allow the most idiosyncratic quality of the Other, its time, to participate in the dialogue". This connection between singularity, alterity and temporality is one of the reasons why Celan so strongly objects to the application of the traditional concept of metaphor to poetry. As Celan says, "carrying over [übertragen]" by metaphor may imply an unwillingness to "bear with [mittragen]" and to "endure [ertragen]" the poem. The thesis is divided into two main parts. The first consists of five distinct prolegomena which all address the mentioned variety of applications of the term "counter-figures", and especially the rejection or critique of either metaphor (by Aristotle, for instance) or the concept of metaphor (defined by Aristotle, and sometimes deemed "anti-poetic" by both theorists and poets). Even if we restrict ourselves to the traditional rhetorico-poetical terms, we may see how, for instance, metonymy can be a counter-figure for metaphor, allegory for symbol, and irony for any single trope or for any piece of discourse at all. The limits of figurality may indeed be located at these points of intersection between different types of tropes or figures, and even between figures or tropes and the "non-figurative trope" or "pseudo-figure" called catachresis. The second part, following on from the open-ended prolegomena, concentrates on Paul Celan's poetry and poetics. According to Celan, true poetry is "essentially anti-metaphoric". I argue that inasmuch as we are willing to pay attention to the "will" of the poetic images themselves (the tropes and metaphors in a poem) to be "carried ad absurdum", as Celan invites us to do, we may find alternative ways of reading poetry and approaching its "secret of the encounter", precisely when the traditional rhetorical instruments, and especially the notion of metaphor, become inapplicable or suspicious — and even where they still seem to impose themselves.

The voluntary associations dealt with in this dissertation were ethnic clubs and societies promoting the interests of German immigrants in Finland and Sweden. The associations were founded at the end of the 19th century as well as at the beginning of the 20th century during a time in which migration was high, the civil society grew rapidly and nationalism flourished. The work includes over 70 different associations in Finland and Sweden with a number of members ranging from ten to at most 2, 500. The largest and most important associations were situated in Helsinki and Stockholm where also most of the German immigrants lived. The main aim of this work is to explore to what extent and how the changes in government in Germany during 1910 to 1950 were reflected in the structures and participants, financial resources and meeting places, networks and activities of the German associations in Finland and Sweden. The study also deals with how a collective German national identity was created within the German associations. The period between 1910 and 1950 has been described by Hobsbawm as the apogee of nationalism. Nationalism and transnationalism are therefore key elements in the work. Additionally the research deals with theories about associations, networking and identity. The analysis is mostly based on minutes of meetings, descriptions of festivities, annual reports and historical outlines about the associations. Archival sources from the German legations, the German Foreign Office, and Finnish and Swedish officials such as the police and the Foreign Offices are also used. The study shows that the collective national identity in the associations during the Weimar Republic mostly went back to the time of the Wilhelmine Empire. It is argued that this fact, the cultural propaganda and the aims of the Weimar Republic to strengthen the contacts between Germany and the German associations abroad, and the role of the German legations and envoys finally helped the small groups of NSDAP to infiltrate, systematically coordinate and finally centralize the German associational life in Finland and Sweden. The Gleichschaltung did not go as smoothly as the party wanted, though. There was a small but consistent opposition that continued to exist in Finland until 1941 and in Sweden until 1945. The collective national identity was displayed much more in Sweden than in Finland, where the associations kept a lower profile. The reasons for the profile differences can be found in the smaller number of German immigrants in Finland and the greater German propaganda in Sweden, but also in the Finnish association act from 1919 and the changes in it during the 1920s and 1930s. Finally, the research shows how the loss of two world wars influenced the associations. It argues that 1918 made the German associations more vulnerable to influence from Germany, whereas 1945 brought the associational life back to where it once started as welfare, recreational and school associations.

"Ao lado da obra de Hans Staden e, em menor grau, da de Thevet, o livro de Jean de Léry é das contribuições mais apreciáveis qe se conhecem para o estudo da História do Brasil e seus havitantes ao iniciar-se a colonização europeia", como afirma Rubens Borba de Moraes. Prossegue esclarecendo que a obra de Léry "supera por essas qualidades as de muitos dos seus contemporâneos". Esta edição crítica, realizada or Paul Gaffarel, for "baseada na de 1580, enriquecida com uma preciosa notícia bibliográfica e notas não menos preciosas, mas que apresesntam um certo número de erros no fim de cada um dos dois volumes. É sem ºvida lamentável que Gaffarel não tenha reproduzido as gravuras que acompanham o texto original" conforme observa Raeders.
