No full textCitation: Hause, B. M., Myers, O., Duff, J., & Hesse, R. A. (2016). Senecavirus A in Pigs, United States, 2015. Emerging Infectious Diseases, 22(7), 1323-1325. doi:10.3201/eid2207.151951Senecavirus A (SVA) has been sporadically identified in pigs with idiopathic vesicular disease in the United States and Canada (1–3). Clinical symptoms observed include ruptured vesicles and erosions on the snout and lameness associated with broken vesicles along the coronary band. A recent report characterized SVA in pigs in Brazil with similar clinical symptoms in addition to a higher proportion of deaths than would be expected in pigs 1–4 days of age (4,5). Several outbreaks of this infection in pigs were reported in the summer of 2015 in the United States; the more severe clinical features resembled those seen in outbreaks in Brazil (6). Subsequent testing by PCR of 2,033 oral fluid samples from material submitted during 441 routine diagnostic testing procedures (from 25 states) identified 5 SVA-positive cases (1%) (7). Besides affecting animal health, SVA infection is notable because its clinical symptoms resemble those caused by foot-and-mouth disease and vesicular stomatitis viruses. When vesicular disease is observed in US swine, mandatory reporting and testing of animals for foreign animal diseases are required

Economic utopia of the Torah. Economic concepts of the Hebrew Bible interpreted according to the Rabbinical Literature
No full textHebrew Bible offers alternative Economic utopia for building Theocratic society. In this paper, various economic concepts and themes are presented, as found in the Hebrew Bible. These economic concepts include taxation, property rights, labor market, social policy, banking, years of Sabbath and Jubilee, and business cycles. Most economic issues of the Bible are found in the texts of Torah, also known as five Books of Moses. These texts are analyzed by using classical Rabbinical commentaries for better insight. Contrary to the modern Economic theory which is based on the assumptions of scarcity of resources and unlimited needs of consumers, Economics of the Torah is based on God’s resources which are enough for all true needs of His people.Hebrew Bible, History of Economics, History of Economic Thought, Ancient Israel, Judaism

Breaking into the Boundaries of World Literature: Tahar Ben Jelloun's "L'enfant de sable"
No full textIl presente articolo propone una lettura in prospettiva World Literature del primo romanzo di successo dell’autore franco-marocchino Tahar Ben Jelloun, "L’enfant de sable" (1985). Il ricorso a tale approccio teorico, che si avvale delle intuizioni di Bourdieu e di alcuni studi di Casanova e Damrosch, permette di illustrare in che misura il successo di un lavoro letterario sia il prodotto di intersezioni tra il suo valore estetico e le dinamiche socioeconomiche che regolano il mercato editoriale. Nell’opera di Ben Jelloun, collocata come il suo autore sulla soglia tra due mondi, confluiscono elementi di due sistemi letterari e culturali: quello occidentale e quello arabo-persiano. Ne "L’enfant de sable" è riscontrabile un’ibridità su più livelli – narratologico, intertestuale e linguistico – che può essere interpretata, nel quadro teorico della World Literature, come una strategia di negoziazione tra due culture per incontrare il favore di un pubblico più ampio. Dalla lettura del romanzo in questa prospettiva emergono ambiguità e criticità riguardanti l’opera di Ben Jelloun: da un lato l’accusa di orientalismo forzato per vendere un prodotto conforme alle aspettative dell’Occidente sul Mondo Arabo, dall’altro l’apprezzamento per un’opera in cui l’autore combina magistralmente due culture in una costruzione linguistica e narratologica di innegabile valore estetico, che ha il merito di aprire una finestra di contatto tra due culture.The essay aims to analyze the novel "L’enfant de sable" (1985) – the first bestseller by the French-Moroccan author Tahar Ben Jelloun – in the perspective of World Literature as underpinned by the theories of David Damrosch and Pascale Casanova. This theoretical approach illustrates to what extent the success of a literary work is the product of the intersection between its aesthetic value and the socio-economic dynamics governing the literary market. A global writer on the threshold of two worlds, Ben Jelloun concocts a hybrid work in which Persian-Arabic literary and cultural traditions melt together with their Western counterparts. In particular, L’enfant de sable is characterized by a multilayered hybridity for a strategy of negotiation between the two cultures is employed at many levels: narratological, intertextual and linguistic. This strategy of hybridity/negotiation may be deemed as a mere compromise to reach a larger readership. Indeed, analyzing the novel within this theoretical framework highlights its ambiguities: remarkably, the author has been accused of commodifying his own culture to create a product palatable to the Euro-American market and compliant with Westerners’ expectations about the Arabic world – the topic appealing to French readers being the evidence of it. Yet, this reading also points out the novel’s undeniable aesthetic value: Ben Jelloun succeeds in merging two traditions artfully while opening a window into recondite aspects of Moroccan culture
Revealing the Invisible Majority
No full textThe author proposes new theoretical frameworks to approach the concept of "object biography" in ancient Egypt. The traditional reconstruction of Egyptian history has a strong "top-down" character, depending on written sources that encompass historical narratives from an elite formal perspective, but a large sector of the population, especially those who represented the motor of a society, such as artisans, craftsmen, farmers, workmen, remain largely invisible. Often scholars attempt to write social history starting from the linear biographies contained in objects, usually resulting in another elite narrative. However, the objects do not only encapsulate the biographies of their owners/commissioners/users but also those of their producers, from raw-material extraction to their final manufacture. Thus, removing the concept of a unique and authoritative biography contained within a single object, the invisible layers of population, which were believed mostly lost for ancient societies - and especially for Egypt - can become visible again
