Vrouwenbewegingen en de zorg voor jonge kinderen in Franstalig België : familiale en politieke modellen, discours en ervaring (1960-1980)
No full text(FR) Les mouvements féminins chrétiens et socialistes ont joué un grand rôle dans le renouvellement des milieux d’accueil de la petite enfance en Belgique francophone au tournant des années 1970. Cet article propose de porter un regard « par le bas » sur ces luttes politiques, pour révéler les dynamiques d’évolution des discours, les rapports des dirigeantes à leurs services sur le terrain, les marges de manoeuvre des militantes, et ainsi mettre au jour des points de rencontres. Notre hypothèse est que dans leur rapport au terrain, les mouvements féminins offrent à voir les formes d’une dépilarisation : des porosités inattendues et des écarts aux lignes des partis, ancrés dans des préoccupations communes, parmi lesquelles les droits des femmes.(EN) Catholic and socialist women’s movements played an important role in the renewal of early childhood services in French-speaking Belgium at the turn of the 1970s. This article takes a ‘bottom-up’ look at their political struggles in order to reveal the dynamics of changing discourses, the relationship between leaders and their services in the field, and the agency of activists, as well as shed light on similarities between the different movements. We argue that the relationship between these women’s movements on the ground provides us with a glimpse of de-pillarisation that manifested in unexpected porosities in and departures from party lines which were rooted in shared concerns, including women’s rights.(NL) Christelijke en socialistische vrouwenbewegingen speelden een belangrijke rol in de vernieuwing van onthaaldiensten voor jonge kinderen in Franstalig België rond de jaren 1970. Dit artikel werpt een ‘bottom-up’ blik op deze politieke strijd, in een poging de dynamieken van veranderende discours, de relatie tussen leiders en hun diensten op het terrein en de plaats voor activisten bloot te leggen en op die manier ontmoetingspunten te ontdekken. Onze hypothese is dat in hun relatie met het veld, vrouwenbewegingen een vorm van ontzuiling toonden : onverwachte porositeit en afwijkingen van partijlijnen, die verankerd waren in gedeelde bezorgdheden, waaronder vrouwenrechten.This article is published as part of Journal of Belgian History, LV(1), 2025,
Inventaris van het archief van het Provinciaal Comité en de plaatselijke comités van Winterhulp West-Vlaanderen (1940-1947)
No full textDit omvangrijke archiefbestand van Winterhulp West-Vlaanderen opent een rauw en veelgelaagd venster op het dagelijkse leven onder Duitse bezetting. Tussen 1940 en 1947 ontplooide Winterhulp zich tot een fijnmazig netwerk van provinciale en plaatselijke comités dat voedsel, kleding en brandstof verdeelde, armoede probeerde te lenigen en tegelijk functioneerde binnen de spanningsvelden van bezetting, schaarste en morele ambiguïteit. De bijna 3.000 archiefnummers documenteren niet alleen de organisatie en financiering van deze hulpverlening, maar ook de concrete noden van gezinnen, kinderen en kwetsbare groepen in oorlogstijd. Kasboeken, bedelingsregisters en administratieve dossiers maken zichtbaar hoe solidariteit werd georganiseerd, gecontroleerd en soms betwist. Tegelijk vertelt het archief het verhaal van de moeizame ontmanteling na de bevrijding en de lange schaduw van vereffening en selectie. Voor historici, erfgoedwerkers en iedereen die de sociale geschiedenis van de Tweede Wereldoorlog wil doorgronden, vormt dit archief een onmisbare, confronterende bron.The records described in this inventory are held at the State Archives in Bruges (inventory code 513 - M145).This inventory is the fixed published version dated 31-12-2025.

Full text linkThe humid tropical forests of the Congo Basin, considered to be mature forest, are strangely characterized by an abundance of light-demanding species in the canopy, most of which are commercially exploited. This feature remains something of a puzzle because the abundance of light-demanding species in the canopy indicates an intermediate stage in forest succession. Current explanations show divided opinions within the research community. The first response is that these forests are undergoing recovery after human disturbances in the 19th century, which would explain the current abundance of light demanding species in the canopy. The second response is that light-demanding species, such as fast-growing species, require a lot of nutrients in the soil to establish, justifying their abundance in areas where the soil is rich. The third response is that light-demanding species are a component of mature forests and grow in natural clearings, contributing to the high functional and taxonomic diversity characteristic of tropical forests. However, within the boundaries of these diverse mature tropical forests, pockets of monodominant mature forests with Gilbertiodendron dewevrei coexist, and their presence remains a puzzle that has yet to be solved. Although the scientific community is increasingly unanimous on the causes of G. dewevrei monodominance, the origin of this phenomenon remains only partially studied. The period of appearance of this phenomenon in the Congo Basin still divides researchers. The first proposed hypothesis considers the monodominance of G. dewevrei as a recent phenomenon resulting from an expansion dynamic favored by the current environmental and human context. The second hypothesis considers the forests as an ancient phenomenon that persisted in the historical context of the environment and human activities. Here, we propose a pedo-anthracological approach based on the analysis of fossil charcoal and physico-chemical properties of soil to highlight these two persistent contrast in Congo Basin. Our main objective is to untangle the origin of the present-day Central Congo basin. To achieve this objective, we excavate 61 pits, each 2-meters deep. Each plot was installed in a pioneer forest, in the secondary forest, in the mixed primary forest, and in the monodominant forest of Gilbertidendron dewevrei; these pits are used for soil description, soil and charcoal sampling. With these samples, four types of analyses were performed : (i) Anthracomass analyses by profile interval, following standard procedures, will identify and stratify past fire events in forests. (ii) Stable carbon isotope(13C) analyses will differentiate the factors inducing forest fires. (iii) Identification of fossil charcoal using partial identification protocol and (iv) Radiocarbon dating will reveal changes on the century and millennium scales in biodiversity. Until now, G. dewerei forests have experienced fire events in past. Dating them will provide the link between monodominance and disturbance. The implications of these results for understanding long-term forest dynamic or long-term resilience of essential ecosystem functions and management of tree species in Central Congo Basin will be discussed
Global decadal measurements of methanol, ethene, ethyne, and HCN from the Cross-track Infrared Sounder
Full text linkVolatile organic compounds (VOCs) play an important role in modulating the atmosphere's oxidizing capacity and affect tropospheric ozone, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and organic aerosol formation. Space-based observations can provide powerful global information to advance our knowledge of these processes and their changes over time. We present here the development of new retrievals for four key VOCs (methanol, ethene, ethyne, and HCN) based on thermal infrared radiance observations from the satellite-borne Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS). We update the Retrieval of Organics from CrIS Radiances (ROCR) algorithm developed previously for isoprene to explicitly account for the spectral signal dependence on the VOC vertical profile shape, and we apply this updated retrieval (ROCRv2) to derive column abundances for the targeted species across the full Suomi NPP CrIS record (2012–2023). The CrIS data are well correlated with ground-based Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC) retrievals for methanol (r = 0.77–0.84); HCN and ethyne exhibit lower correlations (r = 0.36–0.44 and 0.56–0.65, respectively) with an apparent 40 % CrIS–NDACC disparity for ethyne. The results reveal robust global distributions of the target VOCs from known biogenic, biomass burning, and industrial source regions, and they demonstrate the impact of anomalous events such as the 2015–2016 El Niño. They also highlight the importance of accurate vertical profile constraints when evaluating and interpreting thermal infrared data records. Initial comparisons of the CrIS observations to predicted VOC distributions from the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model point to large uncertainties in our current understanding of the atmospheric ethene budget as well as to underestimated HCN, ethyne, and methanol sources
