No full textRÉSUMÉCe livre de Caleb Finch est un survol bien documenté des divers aspects de la sénescence. Il trace un portrait de la sénescence allant du niveau moléculaire à l'interaction de l'organisme avec son environnement et se sert de douzaines de plantes et d'espèces animales comme exemple. Le livre est un condensé de données provenant de certaines d'articles de recherche. Des constantes du taux de mortalité, une bibliographie étendue et de multiples index sont inclus en annexe. Une des principales conclusions du livre est qu'il y a autant de sénescences que d'espèces, et que cela s'explique par les thèses évolutionnaires. Bien qu'à la base Longevity, Senescence and the Genome soit un livre sur la biologie comparée de la sénescence, il couvre assez le vieillissement de l'être humain pour intéresser les étudiants en gérontologie.</jats:p
Honour and recognition in the German novel of banditry ca 1800
No full textThis article performs a reading informed by Honneth’s theory of recognition of the two best-known German novels of banditry of the 1790s, Johann Heinrich Zschokke’s Abaellino der große Bandit (1794) and Christian August Vulpius’ Rinaldo Rinaldini (1799) in an effort to understand how popular literature participates in and reflects upon the discourse on honour and recognition around 1800. Its status as popular genre makes the novel of banditry (Räuberroman) a potentially interesting source on shifts in the theory and practice of honour as experienced by ordinary Europeans at the turn of the 19th century. The genre was found to relate to the honour discourse not directly, but in the manner of a heterotopia, simultaneously located outside that discourse and referentially connected to it. Taken in isolation, the novel of banditry is not an informative source on the changing role of honour and new patterns of intersubjective recognition in late 18th century Europe. Seen as part of a particular constellation of textual production and reception, however, the genre sheds light on the aporias of honour experienced by those socially marginal ‘new readers’ intent on exploiting literature in the struggle for enhanced social recognition.Peer reviewe
Cryptodrassus platnicki Sankaran & Caleb & Sebastian 2020, comb. nov.
No full textCryptodrassus platnicki (Gajbe, 1987) comb. nov. Drassyllus platnicki Gajbe, 1987: 289, figs 1–5. Type material Holotype (not examined) INDIA • ♀; Maharashtra, Nagpur, Kachari Sawanga village / Kachari (sa) village; 21°11′41.53″ N, 78°39′12.05″ E; 448 m a.s.l.; 5 Mar. 1984; U.A. Gajbe leg.; NZC-ZSI, Kolkata 5144/18. Justification of the transfer Even though we did not examine the type of D. platnicki, which may either be lost or misplaced somewhere in the collection, this species agrees with Cryptodrassus spp. in generic features such as obliquely placed, large, contiguous PMEs, cheliceral promargin with three and retromargin with single tooth and epigyne with anteriorly placed atrium. All these indicate that this species in fact belongs to Cryptodrassus. The structure of vulvae of this species looks closely similar to the vulvae of C. khajuriai comb. nov., suggesting a possible synonymy of the former species with the latter one (compare Figs 1 C–D, 2C–D with Gajbe 1987: figs 3–4); however, confirmation requires the examination of the type or topotype materials of C. platnicki comb. nov. Remarks We were unable to find the type of D. platnicki in the arachnid collection of ZSI, even though the author claimed that the type was deposited here (Gajbe 1987).Published as part of Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T.

Although we did not examine the types of <i>C</i>. <i>adhartali</i>, which were presumably not deposited in ZSI, the illustrations of this species available in the original description are useful, at least to confirm its misplacement in <i>Castianeira</i> and to support its inclusion in the liocranid genus <i>Oedignatha</i> Thorell, 1881. Its pedipalp is clearly not pear-shaped with an apically oriented embolus and without accessory sclerites, as in all castianeirines. Instead, the pedipalp of <i>C</i>. <i>adhartali</i> has a medially placed, nearly globular tegulum with multiple sclerites, as seen in the case of <i>Oedignatha</i> species (cf. Gajbe 2003: fig. 4 and Deeleman-Reinhold 2001: figs 353, 357, 365, 367, 371). The epigyne is also similar to other <i>Oedignatha</i> species (cf. Gajbe 2003: fig. 3 and Fig. 3 C–D). Based on these observations, we consider the transfer of <i>C</i>. <i>adhartali</i> to <i>Oedignatha</i> fully justified.</p>Published as part of <i>Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T.

The clergy of the deaneries of Rochester and mailing in the diocese of Rochester, c. 1770 – 1870
No full textThis is a study of the concerns and life - style of the clergy of the established Church in two Kent Deaneries throughout the hundred year period, 1770 -1870. How far, it is considered, were episcopal hopes, which were expressed in the Charges of Bishop and Archdeacon, fulfilled in the parishes, especially in the matters of residence and education. The extent of non-residence is deduced from. such evidence as is available for the earlier part of the period and after 1830 from Visitation and other returns. The provision of Sunday Schools is used as an example of clerical response to a diocesan policy in the field of education. The exercise of patronage, residence, plurality, the length ofincumbencies, the employment of curates and their prospects, are looked at throughout the period. The provision of new churches, agrarian unrest, tithe and clerical emoluments, church rate, relationship with dissent, worship provision , the visitation process, the clergyman's role in society, the differing demands of town ministry and rural ministry are examined as events bring them to the fore . The priorities of successive bishops are noted and the lives of sample clergymen are taken for each period, both to flesh-out the statistics and to illustrate the evolving pattern of ministry
