Macroeconomic Stability in Resource-rich Countries: The Role of Fiscal Policy by Elva Bova, Paulo Medas, Tigran Poghosyan

“…Taking advantage of a new dataset covering 48 non-renewable commodity exporters for the period 1970–2014, we investigate whether fiscal policy does indeed play a stabilizing role. Our analysis shows that fiscal policy tends to have a procyclical bias (mainly via expenditures) and, contrary to others, we do not find evidence that this bias has declined in recent years. …”

Costanzo Festa’s (?) motet ‘O altitudo divitiarum’ re-examined: new suggestions regarding its source context, attribution and function by Wojciech Odoj

“…The analysis of O altitudo divitiarum, on the other hand, its stylistic features, transmission, and liturgical and historical context has made me suggest that the motet, if indeed by Festa, may have been intended for the peace treaty in Nice in 1538 with participation of Pope Paul III, Emperor Charles V, and King Francis I of France. …”

OPERA AND ITALIAN IDENTITY: THE LONG VIEW by Stefano CASTELVECCHI

“…What these Italians did, how others interacted with them, and the widespread association between them and opera — all had an effect on their perceived image, helping to foster the impression that they were indeed a group with shared characteristics. More open and complex ideas of Italian identity may eventually emerge from the exploration of these historical realities. …”

Washington Irving, The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. : le Moyen Âge aux origines by Delphine Louis-Dimitrov

“…In a nation in quest for roots, ancestors and legacy, the memory of the Middle Ages is a major issue; it is a founding period which the United States strives to reappropriate. Indeed the narrator’s pseudonym, Geoffrey Crayon, hints at an implicit claim of lineage with Geoffrey Chaucer, whose presence frames The Sketch Book. …”

Les marmites du Bayt al-mâl d’Alger. Charité, pouvoir et droits d’appartenance à l’époque ottomane by Isabelle Grangaud

“…This enabled us to restore the civic dimension of the rights attached to these pots, whose collective use participated in the production of active social bodies. Indeed, these practices were the place and object of rallies, submissions and reciprocal obligations; they organised powers, affiliations, hierarchies and thresholds of insertion within these social bodies. …”

Neutron Flux Monitoring Based on Blind Source Separation Algorithms in Moroccan TRIGA MARK II Reactor by Hanane Arahmane, El-Mehdi Hamzaoui, Rajaa Cherkaoui El Moursli

“…We present an overview of fission chamber’s functioning modes, theoretical aspects of the nonnegative matrix factorization methods, and the opportunities that offer neutron data processing in order to achieve neutron flux monitoring tasks. Indeed, it is a part of research project that aimed at applying Blind Source Separation methods for in-core and ex-core neutron flux monitoring while analyzing the outputs of fission chamber. …”

Sur les traces de John MacCrae, ou l’inscription dans l’espace public du souvenir d’un combattant de 1914-1918 by Emmanuelle Danchin

“…Considering the example of MacCrae will also enable us to reflect on both material and immaterial (internet) traces of memory and on how the circulation of iconic images leaves traces over time in public spaces. Indeed what matters most is not so much John MacCrae himself, but what he left behind and what this tells us today about this conflict nearly 100 years ago.…”

Between the Olympian and the Dionysian: Pagan Energy in Paintings by Frederic Leighton and Lawrence Alma-Tadema by Anne-Florence Gillard-Estrada

“…And yet the term ‘Olympian’ is highly problematic as it evacuates the ambivalence that characterizes that painting. Such taxonomy indeed evokes the Apollonian while precluding the Dionysian dimension that is in fact present in some of their representations of the antique body. …”

Study on the Mechanism of Sparks Generated Mechanical Friction by He Pan, Yang Zhang

“…The result indicates that friction sparks are indeed easier to detonate gas than hot surfaces. Moreover, a mathematical model based on the heat transfer theory is used to prove that the sparks induced by friction from TC4 alloys are more hazardous than those induced by friction from copper and Q235A steel. …”

« Cette femme éminente a touché l’âme universelle ». Une théorie médicale du talent de l’actrice-chanteuse dans La Pasta nell’Otello de Luigi Morando De Rizzoni (Vérone, Crescini,... by Céline Frigau Manning

“…Explicitly taking the side of the singer, the dialogue’s author, a wine producer and the brother of a doctor, provides us with a fascinating text, both from the perspective of the opinions and accounts which he develops concerning Giuditta Pasta’s singing and acting in Rossini’s Otello, as well as the elements of aesthetic and medical theories which he integrates into his arguments. Indeed, the dialogue aims at establishing a universal aesthetic judgment on man’s physiological nature, and the physical and moral effect on this nature which Giuditta Pasta, perceived as being exceptional, produces. …”

« Agriculture, and Commerce as its Handmaid » by Pierre Gervais

“…The working hypothesis used is that there was indeed around 1792‑1793 a cristallization of two opposed worldviews, usually associated with Jefferson and Hamilton respectively, and built on conflicting views of the economy and its role, within and in spite of the « liberal consensus » stressed by recent historiography. …”

Characterization of Series Resistances and Mobility Attenuation Phenomena in Short Channel MOS Transistors by A. El Abbassi, Y. Amhouche, E. Bendada, R. Rmaily, K. Raïs

“…As the scaling proceeds, the transverse electric field increase, and a mobility attenuation phenomenon becomes of primordial interest. Indeed, the high transverse electric field is generally ascribed [1] to surface roughness scattering in the channel and consequently reduce effective mobility of carriers. …”

L’aménagement du territoire national et les contraintes de la nouvelle gouvernance dans la Tunisie postrévolutionnaire by Mourad Ben Jelloul

“…And in order to reduce territorial inequity public authorities committed themselves on the one hand to major projects in the field of infrastructure and large-scale public facilities, on the other hand to deep-reaching institutional and legislative reforms namely by issuing and adopting the new Local Authorities Code and Urban Planning Code. Indeed, the analysis of the reconfiguration of territorial policies in Tunisia after 2011 is likely to allow us to highlight the difficulty of shifting from a highly centralized model to one that takes into consideration local authority players and citizen participation. …”
