Bathsheba's actions in 2 Sam. 11.2-4 identify crucial aspects of her character. Past commentators interpret these words in connection with menstrual purification, stressing the certain paternity of David's adulterine child. This article demonstrates that the participles rōheset and mitqaddesšet and the noun mittum'ātāh do not denote menstrual cleansing. Bathsheba's washing is an innocent bath. She is the only individual human to self-sanctify, placing her in the company of the Israelite deity. The syntax of the verse necessitates that her action of self-sanctifying occurs simultaneously as David lies with her. The three focal terms highlight the important legitimacy of Bathsheba before the Israelite deity, her identity as a non-Israelite, her role as queen mother of the Solomonic line, and her full participation in the narrative.

Aquest treball estudia l’activitat agronòmica de la Reial Acadèmia de Ciències Naturals i Arts de Barcelona durant el període que abasta des de 1766 fins a 1808. Se centra en l’anàlisi de la documentació generada per la Direcció d’Agricultura d’aquesta institució, fent èmfasi en l’estudi del perfil biogràfic i intel•lectual dels homes que hi van estar al capdavant, i en la producció científica que van arribar a dur a terme. El treball enumera i analitza les propostes tècniques per millorar l’agricultura que des d’aquesta corporació es van sotmetre a debat. En aquest sentit, es destaquen les aportacions en temes com la vinya, els nous conreus o el debat sobre la situació de la ramaderia al país.

BACKGROUND: The WOSI (Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index) is a self-administered quality of life questionnaire designed to be used as a primary outcome measure in clinical trials on shoulder instability, as well as to measure the effect of an intervention on any particular patient. It is validated and is reliable and sensitive. As it is designed to measure subjective outcome, it is important that translation should be methodologically rigorous, as it is subject to both linguistic and cultural interpretation. OBJECTIVE: To produce a French language version of the WOSI that is culturally adapted to both European and North American French-speaking populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A validated protocol was used to create a French language WOSI questionnaire (WOSI-Fr) that would be culturally acceptable for both European and North American French-speaking populations. Reliability and responsiveness analyses were carried out, and the WOSI-Fr was compared to the F-QuickDASH-D/S (Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand-French translation), and Walch-Duplay scores. RESULTS: A French language version of the WOSI (WOSI-Fr) was accepted by a multinational committee. The WOSI-Fr was then validated using a total of 144 native French-speaking subjects from Canada and Switzerland. Comparison of results on two WOSI-Fr questionnaires completed at a mean interval of 16 days showed that the WOSI-Fr had strong reliability, with a Pearson and interclass correlation of r=0.85 (P=0.01) and ICC=0.84 [95% CI=0.78-0.88]. Responsiveness, at a mean 378.9 days after surgical intervention, showed strong correlation with that of the F-QuickDASH-D/S, with r=0.67 (P<0.01). Moreover, a standardized response means analysis to calculate effect size for both the WOSI-Fr and the F-QuickDASH-D/S showed that the WOSI-Fr had a significantly greater ability to detect change (SRM 1.55 versus 0.87 for the WOSI-Fr and F-QuickDASH-D/S respectively, P<0.01). The WOSI-Fr showed fair correlation with the Walch-Duplay. DISCUSSION: A French-language translation of the WOSI questionnaire was created and validated for use in both Canadian and Swiss French-speaking populations. This questionnaire will facilitate outcome assessment in French-speaking settings, collaboration in multinational studies and comparison between studies performed in different countries. TYPE OF STUDY: Multicenter cohort study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.

Jerzy Grotowski, director de teatre i recercador que va transformar profundament l’escena teatral de la segona meitat del segle vint, l’any 1970 va anunciar que no dirigiria més produccions teatrals. Apocalypsis Cum Figuris, una de les grans produccions escèniques del segle XX, marcaria un punt de transició en la trajectòria de l’investigador polonès obrint nous horitzons de vida creativa. Impulsat per una gran inquietud interior que trobaria la seva culminació en l’allunyament dels límits estrictament teatrals, Grotowski inicia el passatge de l’àmbit de l’Art com a representació, teatre en un sentit clàssic del terme, al domini de l’Art com a vehicle, en el que el mestre polonès recupera un aspecte antic i oblidat de l’art, que el situaria al nivell d’un coneixement superior, esdevenint un vehicle espiritual.

La neige, dans ses dimensions optiques, chromatiques et plastiques, dans ses états instables et variables, constitue l'un des enjeux centraux de l'esthétique contemporaine,. Neige blanc papier fait l'historiographie des esthétiques de la neige, de la quête d'un art pur, affranchi de toute contrainte illustrative, littéraire, voire représentative, à la construction de formes expressives où se réinvente un langage-espace. Au coeur du volume, le calepin d'artiste réalisé par la plasticienne Catherine Bolle, Inhumaine neige lunel, concrétise à son tour l'imaginaire poétique de la neige dans la matérialité esthétique du livre.

Projecte de recerca elaborat a partir d’una estada al Centre d’Études Supérieures de Civilisation Médiévale de Poitiers, França, entre març i maig de 2007. La recerca s’enmarca en el desenvolupament la tesi “La devoció als sants eremites i la seva instrumentalització. Traducció en les arts plàstiques del gòtic a Catalunya”. S’ha investigat en tres línies. Primerament, sobre l’eremitisme i la santedat eremítica, la recerca es va centrar en consultar aquelles obres dedicades a l’eremitisme o a l’hagiografia. En segon i tercer lloc, sobre el culte als sants eremites i les representacions plàstiques gòtiques catalanes d’aquests, la recerca es va centrar especialment en sant Antoni Abat, per ser el sant eremita que gaudí de més culte durant la baixa Edat Mitjana a Catalunya. No obstant això, no s’han deixat de banda l’estudi d’altres sants eremites -com poden ser Maria Magdalena, Amador, Gil- per tal de poder establir possibles paral•lels i comparacions.

We propose an elementary theory of wars fought by fully rational contenders. Two parties play a Markov game that combines stages of bargaining with stages where one side has the ability to impose surrender on the other. Under uncertainty and incomplete information, in the unique equilibrium of the game, long confrontations occur: war arises when reality disappoints initial (rational) optimism, and it persist longer when both agents are optimists but reality proves both wrong. Bargaining proposals that are rejected initially might eventually be accepted after several periods of confrontation. We provide an explicit computation of the equilibrium, evaluating the probability of war, and its expected losses as a function of i) the costs of confrontation, ii) the asymmetry of the split imposed under surrender, and iii) the strengths of contenders at attack and defense. Changes in these parameters display non-monotonic effects.

We construct new series for common native language and common spoken language for 195 countries, which we use together with series for common official language and linguis-tic proximity in order to draw inferences about (1) the aggregate impact of all linguistic factors on bilateral trade, (2) whether the linguistic influences come from ethnicity and trust or ease of communication, and (3) in so far they come from ease of communication, to what extent trans-lation and interpreters play a role. The results show that the impact of linguistic factors, all together, is at least twice as great as the usual dummy variable for common language, resting on official language, would say. In addition, ease of communication is far more important than ethnicity and trust. Further, so far as ease of communication is at work, translation and inter-preters are extremely important. Finally, ethnicity and trust come into play largely because of immigrants and their influence is otherwise difficult to detect.
