The taxonomy and taphonomy in mio-pliocene and late middle pleistocene micromammals from the Cape west coast, South Africa
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.The study sites investigated in this thesis are situated along the southwest coast of South Africa in an area dominated by the sclerophyllous fynbos of the Strandveld and Sandveld, which supports a well-known micromammal (murid, soricid, macroscelid, bathyergid and chrysochlorid) fauna. This study presents the results of a taphonomic, taxonomic and palaeoecological study of micromammal assemblages from two palaeontological sites in the Saldanha Bay/Langebaanweg area on the west coast, in the western Cape Province, South Africa. The micromammalian populations of these two sites are compared both taxonomically, and taphonomically, with other fossil sites on the west coast dating to the Terminal Pleistocene and Holocene. The older of the two sites is 'E' Quarry at Langebaanweg. a disused phosphate mine, which is the only site in the western Cape Province representing the Mio-Pliocene, a slice of time when modem micromammal genera were emerging. The second site investigated in this thesis is the late Middle Pleistocene site of Hoedjiespunt 1, which fills a significant gap in the continuum of micromammal evolution in the western Cape. This site contained faunal remains accumulated by a brown hyaena (Hyaena brunnea), and micromammal bones and teeth were recovered from the same sediments. The Hoedjiespunt 1 micromammal assemblages have added to the information available on the past distribution of several species in the Saldanha area, and have confirmed the presence of several endemic species in the west coast area during the late Middle Pleistocene. A comparison between the other west coast fossil sites and Hoedjiespunt 1 indicates that conditions on the west coast in the late Middle Pleistocene were relatively more arid. The micromammals from Langebaanweg 'E' Quarry indicate that fynbos microhabitats were well established during the Mia-Pliocene on the west coast. Both the fynbos, and most of the micro mammal genera present at LBW, have families resident in the west coast area today. The micromammal assemblages from Langebaanweg indicate that the general micromammal population in the area remained relatively unchanged during the period of deposition of the two main fossil-bearing members of the Varswater Formation. There is no compelling evidence to suggest that any marked climatic or environmental change took place during this period

L’influence du Service des archives de l’Université de Montréal sur la pratique archivistique au Québec : une affaire de fierté (Témoignage)
No full textDenys Chouinard utilise le prétexte du 50e anniversaire de la DGDA de l’Université de Montréal pour souligner le caractère novateur et la contribution exceptionnelle de ce service à l’archivistique. Dès les années 1960 et 1970 le Service des archives de l’Université de Montréal s’est démarqué et ce caractère avant-gardiste s’est confirmé dans les années 1980. Il rappelle le plaisir qu’il eut à travailler auprès de Jacques Ducharme, inspirant par son enthousiasme et la façon positive qu’il avait d’exercer sa profession. L’exercice de gestion par objectif mis en place au service des archives eut un effet dynamisant sur l’équipe en place et le service est toujours resté à l’affût des opportunités d’augmenter ses ressources, tant humaines que financières, afin d’atteindre les objectifs fixés. Plusieurs autres services d’archives s’en sont inspirés. L’auteur nous présente ensuite une liste de réalisations importantes du service des archives de l’UdeM et mentionne au passage l’influence qu’ont eu ses années passées au sein du service sur l’ensemble de sa carrière. Il termine en évoquant l’approche axée sur les utilisateurs telle que pratiquée à la DGDA et souligne qu’elle fait maintenant partie de la Déclaration universelle sur les archives. Pour Denys Chouinard, le Service des archives de l’Université de Montréal a raison d’être fier d’avoir une telle influence.On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Division of Records Management and Archives of the University of Montreal, Denys Chouinard highlights the innovative character and the exceptional contribution of the archives service. From the 1960s and 1970s it has been in the avant-garde, a characteristic that was confirmed in the 1980s. He recalls the pleasure he had in working with Jacques Ducharme, whose enthusiasm and positivity toward his work were inspiring. The implementation of management by objectives in the archives had a dynamic effect on the team, and the archives was always on the lookout for ways to upgrade its resources, in order to attain the objectives fixed for it, both on a human and financial level. A number of other archives have been inspired by this. Next, the author presents a list of important realizations of the University archives and mentions the influence on the rest of his career of the years he spent working there. He concludes with an evocation of the user-oriented approach of the Division and highlights its commitment to the Universal Declaration on Archives. For Denys Chouinard, the Division of Records Management and Archives of the University of Montreal has every reason to feel proud of its influence
Розуміння суспільної небезпеки злочину (за результатами соціологічного експерименту)
No full textThe article presents the results of the experiment conducted within a series of lectures focused on the issues of “social danger” and “gravity” of offence in September – December, 2018. Approximately 200 lawyers of different status (students and instructors of law schools, higher education institutions, local prosecutor offices’ officials, as well as parliamentary employees) participated in it. The major idea of the experiment was focused on conducting the first anonymous poll of the participants in real time, which has contributed to ascertainment of lawyers’ common understanding regarding the essence and functionality of the “social danger” issue; presenting concentrated information regarding the issues in practical application of this issue and on the consequences resulting from its application; a subsequent poll; and the evaluation of the change dynamics in audience attitude to the issue of “social danger”. The outcome has proven i.e. the following: lawyers’ understanding regarding the essence and functionality of the “social danger” issue is on the one hand based on traditional approaches present in national textbooks, while on the other hand those do not reflect the reality of the contemporary criminal law application practice; these ideas undergo sharp changes following the familiarization with the history of the appearance of this issue in the national legislation, as well as with the contemporary practice of its application. Contrary to the initial poll, the subsequent poll’s participants’ answers have reflected the negation of a set of claims traditionally present in major Ukrainian Criminal Law textbooks, namely that the characteristic of social danger is being effectively applied as an instrument of criminal liability differentiation and individualization; the characteristic of social danger provides a possibility to distinctly distinguish different types of offences, namely crimes and administrative delicts. Almost all participants also acknowledged the absence of the test (algorithm) allowing unequivocal establishment of the character and degree of a certain deed social danger.Article received 29.03.2019У статті подано результати експерименту, проведеного у вересні – грудні 2018 р., у якому взяли участь близько 200 правників різних категорій. Основний зміст експерименту зводився до такого: проведення першого анонімного опитування учасників у реальному часі, завдяки якому було з’ясовано загальні уявлення правників про сутність та функціональність категорії «суспільна небезпека злочину»; подання концентрованої інформації про проблеми практичного застосування цієї категорії та наслідки, до яких призводить її використання; повторне опитування та оцінка динаміки зміни ставлення аудиторії до поняття «суспільна небезпека». Результати засвідчили, що в процесі експерименту більшість учасників різко змінила свої погляди і визнала, що ознака суспільної небезпеки не може ефективно використовуватись як інструмент диференціації та індивідуалізації кримінальної відповідальності, ця ознака не дозволяє чітко розмежувати різні види правопорушень – злочини та адміністративні делікти, не існує тесту (алгоритму), що дозволяє однозначно встановити характер і ступінь суспільної небезпеки певного діяння.Матеріал надійшов 29.03.201
Кримінальна та адміністративно-деліктна відповідальність
No full textThe article provides critical analysis of contemporary Ukrainian approaches to defining “criminal liability” and “tort liability under administrative law” as well as the approaches to defining the difference between the two liability types. The author’s idea is that the latter term should not be substituted by administrative liability in its “managerial” sense, being a liability of renewable type. The tort liability under administrative law does not belong to purely administrative type in managerial sense. It has penal features thus coming closely to criminal liability. These penal features create the essence of criminal liability. Nevertheless, the inclusion of the article on legal liability in the statute with a certain name (e.g. The Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offences), its procedural form and the name of the offence triggering the liability do not necessarily correspond with the essence of legal liability.The article also stipulates the conclusion that the essential equality of criminal offences and administrative offences, as well as of the criminal liability and tort liability under administrative law, and the wide acceptance of this approach within national legal system will provide a positive effect, specifically in: 1) further development of Criminal law and the Tort Administrative Law as a united legal area triggering its systematization, unification, elimination of legal gaps, conflict of norms, unreasonable competition between the norms etc.; 2) further exercise of legal certainty principle together with other components of the rule of law; 3) the appropriate securing of the rights of aggrieved persons as well as of the rights of offenders according to the criminal procedure standards; 4) logical and full classification of criminal offences and just differentiation of liability; 5) possibility to build up the procedural form considering the well classified system of criminal offences; 6) valid designation of the range of criminal offences triggering administrative liability with the possibility to challenge the issue in the court.Article received 07.12.2018У статті розглянуто ознаки кримінальної та адміністративно-деліктної відповідальності та обґрунтовано висновок про їхню сутнісну тотожність. У контексті ухвалення Закону України «Про внесення змін до деяких законодавчих актів України щодо спрощення досудового розслідування окремих категорій кримінальних правопорушень» та законодавчого запровадження категорії «кримінальний проступок» визначаються перспективи розвитку та узгодження кримінального та адміністративно-деліктного законодавства.Матеріал надійшов 07.12.201
La force et la couleur des rêves selon Hervey de Saint-Denys
No full textCet article développe l’exemple d’un « livre de rêve » bien connu, Les rêves et les moyens de les diriger. Observations pratiques (1867) et de la figure de son auteur, le sinologue et « savant rêveur » Léon d’Hervey de Saint Denys.

Les Moi de l’historien : récit et discours chez Denys d'Halicarnasse
No full textThe “ I” of the historian: narrative and discourse in Dionysius of Halicarnassus.
As regards form, ancient historiographical texts almost always alternate narrative passages, characterized by the disappearance of the author, and commentaries, in which the author speaks from his own point of view: this duality roughly corresponds with E. Benveniste’s distinction between “narrative” and “discourse”. However, such a distinction can be questioned, for every narrative necessarily contains some amount of discourse : even the most objective-seeming narrative is informed by the narrator’s presence. The present paper proposes to examine the (more or less unobtrusive) presence of the narrator in a third-person narration, in other words the “discourse of the narrative”, or “discourse in the narrative” in Dionysius of Halicarnassus’s Roman Antiquities.Les textes historiographiques antiques présentent presque toujours, sur le plan formel, une alternance de passages narratifs, caractérisés par un effacement de l’auteur, et de passages commentatifs, où cet auteur s’exprime en son nom propre, cette dualité correspondant grosso modo à la distinction opérée par E. Benveniste entre « récit » et « discours » . Cette distinction est néanmoins contestable, car tout récit comporte nécessairement une part de discours : même le récit en apparence le plus objectif est informé par la présence du narrateur. C’est cette présence (plus ou moins discrète) du narrateur dans le récit en troisième personne, autrement dit les «discours du récit » ou les « discours dans le récit » , que le présent article se propose d’étudier chez Denys d’Halicarnasse, dans ses Antiquités Romaines.Fromentin Valérie.

An Historical View of “Dreams and the Ways to Direct Them; Practical Observations” by Marie-Jean-Leoa Lecog, le Marquis d’Hervey-Saint-Denys
No full textIn 1867, Librairie d’Amyot at Paris published a book entitled Les Rêves a 1es Moyens de les Diriger; Observations pratiques (1) ( transl.: Dreams and the Ways to Direct Them; Practical Observations.) Henceforth we will refer to it as Les Rêves. Originally the work appeared anonymously but eventually it authorship was attributed to the famous French scientist, le Marquis d’Hervey-Saint-Denys. With its publication, for the first time in Western history, a detailed personal report on lucid dreaming over a period of 32 year period was available. Among other things, St. Denys describes his interest in dreams from the age of thirteen, how he develops lucidity in them, and how he partially masters the direction of his dreams. Almost every book on lucid dreams refers to St. Denys work (e.g. Patricia Garfield (2), Celia Green (3), and Stephen LaBerge (4) & (5)). Although we may consider the author of Les Rêves the father of modem lucid dream research, very little information about the book or its author are available. Thus the purpose of this article is to present new information as a result of a search for the original publication of Les Rêves
The gospel of Denys: The central character in \u27Jesus de Montreal\u27 (Denys Arcand, Québec)
No full textDenys Arcand\u27s 1989 film, Jesus de Montreal, retells the story of the New Testament Jesus in an imaginative fashion. Arcand uses a historical Jesus in a passion play to present the outline of his Jesus character and completes the portrait with the presentation of the modern actor, Daniel, playing the part. Together, these two components depict Arcand\u27s version of Jesus. After explaining the scholars\u27 treatments of the character of the New Testament Jesuses, I turned my attention to this central character, attempting to understand who and what Arcand\u27s Jesus is. At the same time, I searched for the biblical sources of characters, scenes, and events in the film. Following a pre-arranged agreement, I sent this analysis to the evangelist, Arcand, for his reaction. He treated my text as a professor might treat any student paper, expressing, in the margins, agreement and disagreement and occasionally providing auxiliary information. I categorized and explored his comments and attempted to learn from them, both about the film and about the relationship between critic and artist. Two lessons in particular emerged: (1) critics should be wary of assuming a totally consistent author and consequently marginalizing sections of narratives that do not seem to fit; (2) critics must remember that an artist can only approach full development of central themes and characters--by nature, secondary components are less-exposed and therefore more open to various interpretations
La pseudo-autobiographie de Denys l’Aréopagite dans le contexte du corpus dionysien syriaque
No full textDasVerhältnis zwischen der angeblichen Autobiographie desDionysius Areopagites
und dem apokryphen philosophischen Werk, das uns unter dem Namen des Dionysius Areopagites als Corpus Dionysiacum überliefert wurde, ist komplex. Nach einem kurzen Überblick über die handschriftliche Tradition, die Editionen und den Inhalt dieser Autobiografie wird die Frage nach der Chronologie der verschiedenen Fassungen angesprochen, um zu zeigen, dass dieser Text ein wichtiger Zeuge der syrischen Rezeption des Corpus Dionysiacum ist. Die Analyse dieses symbolträchtigen Textes ermöglicht es, enge Verbindungen zu zwei weiterenWerken herzustellen, die Dionysius Areopagites zugeschrieben werden, einer Abhandlung über die Kosmologie und einer weiteren, die den Irrtum der Chaldäer, d. h. der persischen Sterndeuter, anprangert. Der Kampf gegen Astrologie und Magie scheint ein Anliegen des Autors der syrischen Übersetzung des CorpusDionysiacum
aus dem 6. Jahrhundert zu sein, Sergius von Reschaina, der zum selben origenistischen Milieu gehörte wie der wahrscheinliche Autor des Buches des hl. Hierotheus, Stephanos bar Sudaile. Während Hierotheus, der im Corpus Dionysiacum als Lehrer des Dionysius vorgestellt wird, zum heiligen Patron der origenistischen Lehre wurde, machte die angebliche Autobiografie Dionysius zum heiligen Patron derWandlung der Astronomie zu einer christlichenWissenschaft und zum Symbol des Kampfes gegenMagie und astrologische Prophezeiung.The relations between the pseudo-Autobiography ofDionysius the Areopagite and the apocryphal philosophical work known as the ‘‘Dionysian corpus’’, associated with the Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, are undoubtedly complex. After a brief survey of the textual tradition, editions and content of the autobiography, this article examines the relative chronology of the different versions, which makes the text an important witness to the Syriac reception of the Dionysian corpus, in close connection to two other works also attributed to Dionysius : a treatise on cosmology and another against the errors of the Chaldeans, i. e. Persian magicians. Opposing astrology and magic seems to have been a concern of the Syriac translator of the Dionysian corpus in the sixth century, Sergius of Rish Ayno, who belonged to the same Origenist milieu as the likely author of the Book of St. Hierotheos, Stephen bar Sudhaili. Whereas Hierotheos, who appears in the Dionysian corpus as the master of Dionysius, became the patron saint of Origenist doctrine, the pseudoautobiography makes Dionysius the patron saint of the conversion of astronomy into a Christian science, and a symbol of the struggle against magic and astrological divination.Les relations entre la pseudo-Autobiographie de Denys l’Aréopagite et l’oeuvre philosophique apocryphe qui nous a été transmise sous le nom du Pseudo-Denys l’Aréopagite, appelée «corpus dionysien » , sont complexes. Après une brève présentation de la tradition textuelle, des éditions et du contenu de cette autobiographie, il s’agit d’aborder la question de la chronologie relative des différentes versions, afin de montrer que ce texte est un témoin important de la réception syriaque du corpus dionysien. En effet, l’analyse de ce texte hautement symbolique permet d’établir ses liens étroits avec deux autres oeuvres attribuées au même Denys l’Aréopagite, un traité de cosmologie et un autre dénonçant l’erreur des Chaldéens, c’est-à-dire des mages persans. La lutte contre l’astrologie et la magie semble être une préoccupation partagée par l’auteur de la traduction syriaque du corpus dionysien au vie siècle, Serge de Rish Ayno, qui appartient au même milieu origéniste que l’auteur probable du Livre de saint Hiérothée, Étienne bar Sudhaili. Tandis que Hiérothée, présenté par le corpus dionysien comme le maître de Denys, devenait le saint patron de la doctrine origéniste, la pseudo-autobiographie fait de Denys le saint patron de la conversion de la science astronomique à une science chrétienne et le symbole de la lutte contre la magie et la divination astrologique.Perczel István.
