No full textGrapsus maurus Lucas, 1846 (Fig. 4C) Grapsus maurus Lucas, 1846 (1846 -1849): 20, pl. 2, fig. 5 (see Evenhuis 2012: 38). Leptograpsus maurus – H. Milne Edwards 1853: 173 (Algeria). CURRENT TAXONOMIC STATUS. — Pachygrapsus maurus (Lucas, 1846), accepted recombination (see Heller 1863: 112). LECTOTYPE (by present designation). — MNHN-IU-2000-3523 (= MNHN-B3523), ♂ 17.0 × 19.5 mm, Oran, northwestern coast of Algeria, M. Deshayes, M. Lucas. — Original label: “ Leptograpsus maurus Edw., Oran, M. Lucas ”. PRESERVATION. — Dry. Specimen attached onto cardboard by a stub; RP5 missing. REMARKS The species described by Lucas (1846: 20) was based on two male specimens, one measuring 17.0 × 19.5 mm, collected by Deshayes at Oran, located on the northwestern coast of Algeria. Lucas (1846) noted: “This species, of which I have only two male individuals, was found during the summer, in Oran harbour, by M. Deshayes” (“ Cette espèce, dont je ne possède que deux individus mâles, a été rencontrée pendant l’été, dans la rade d’Oran, par M. Deshayes ”). Rathbun (1918: 244) indicated that the ‘type’ was in the “ Paris Museum”, but Poupin et al. (2005: 28) noted that “the first author was unable to locate it” in the MNHN. A sample MNHN-IU-2000-3523 (= MNHN-B3523), with only one male specimen labelled “ Oran, M. Lucas”, thus from the type locality and obviously collected and identified by Lucas, fully corresponds to the male specimen described and measured by Lucas (1846). It is hereby designated as lectotype. The second specimen of the type series is missing.Published as part of Ng, Ngan Kee, Rodríguez Moreno, Paula A., Naruse, Tohru, Guinot, Danièle & Mollaret, Noémy, 2019, Annotated type-catalogue of Brachyura (Crustacea, Decapoda) of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris.

Arabic and Islamic Studies in Europe and Beyond. Etudes arabes et islamiques en Europe et au-delà
No full textThis volume presents the proceedings of the 26 th Conference of the Union Européenne des Arabisants et Islamisants that took place in Basel, Switzerland, from 12 to 16 September 2012. It was the first time since its foundation in 1962 that the Union Européenne des Arabisants et Islamisants (UEAI) had convened in Switzerland. The theme of the 26 th Union conference was “Arabic and Islamic Studies in Europe and Beyond / Etudes arabes et islamiques en Europe et au-delà / Arabische und islamische Studien in Europa und darüber hinaus”. The ambiguity of the title wa s intentional. On the one hand, we wanted to indicate that, although the members of the Union are coming in their large majority from European countries, research in Arabic and Islamic Studies is carried out in many non-European regions of the world. On the other hand, our intention was to express that Arabic and Islamic Studies no longer represent an exclusive or, if one might want to take a more critical stance, a field of research distant from the public mind. Nevertheless, the focus of Arabic and Islamic Studies is still very much concentrated, largely calling on specialists to devote their academic lives to learning and practicing the major (and minor) languages of Islamic history and culture. In this regard, Arabic and Islamic Studies, in general, and the UEAI have to locate an equilibrium, again and again, between disciplinary immersion and intellectual openness. The present volume is a further documented example of these endeavors and struggles. The two editors of this volume, Monika Winet (University of Göttingen) and Maurus Reinkowski (University of Basel), are themselves representative of the breadth of research and interests spread across the field of Arabic and Islamic studies in general, and the UEAI in particular: Monika Winet has taught at the Orientalisches Seminar of the University of Basel from1996 – 2010. Her fields of interest are Arabic travel literature, Karshūnī and Aljamiado texts, and language contacts in al-Andalus. Maurus Reinkowski has taught at the same institution since 2010. His interests rest in the history of the late Ottoman Empire, the modern Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean. The University of Basel , as an institute of learning , lays claim to some of the finest scholars of Islamic and Arabic studies in the 19th and 20th centuries. Albert Socin, an expert of Oriental philology, taught here in the 1870s, and Adam Mez followed him in the 1890s. Friedrich Schulthess then finally established the Seminar of Oriental Studies in 1919. In the years 1922-2009, three scholars, Rudolf Tschudi, Fritz Meier and Gregor Schoeler , have held the chair of Oriental Studies at Basel University – a period not only of enormous continuity, but also of stunning productivity and diverse research interests. Tschudi was a specialist of the Ottoman empire and his successor, Meier, was acclaimed for his works on Islamic mysticism and Persian poetry. Gregor Schoeler is a highly esteemed scholar of Arabic and Islamic studies and was one of the participants of the UEAI 2012 conference. Since 2010, history has come back full circle with Maurus Reinkowski, a specialist of Ottoman history. This volume brings together almost 30 contributions that cover a wide area of research interests, reflecting the highly variegated nature of research in Islamic and Arabic Studies. The papers are preceded by the lectio magistralis “Science as Competition: The Debate between Saʿdaddīn al-Taftāzānī (d. 793/1390) and al-Sharīf al-Jurjānī (d. 816/1413)” that was delivered at the opening ceremony by Ulrich Rudolph, professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Zürich. As we have already stated: The volume covers an enormous breadth of scholarly activities and interests, from Quranic and Hadith studies to Islamic philosophy, sciences and culture to Arabic literature, from religious studies to socio-political history. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that we present to the scholarly community the explorations of these vast continents of knowledge, in all of the ir diversity, deep meaning and profound enlightenment. The importance of the scholars’ research, coupled with the strong intellectual imprint left on the research community by them, will always be central to any conference; however, the tireless work and assistance of other institutions and people warrant our gratitude . The organizers are thus grateful to the University of Basel for providing splendid infrastructural support and to the Freiwillige Akademische Gesellschaft (Voluntary Academic Society), Basel, for their generous financial support. We are grateful to Claudia Bolliger and Gudrun Schubert, specialists of Islamic studies at Basel University Library who put together the exhibition Orientalistennachlässe (Orientalist Legacies) in the context of the conference
Terentianus Maurus, sonus tragicus and the masks
No full textThis paper aims at explaining a puzzling passage found in some Sotadic verses of the De litteris by Terentianus Maurus (end of the 2nd century CE - beginning of the 3rd century CE). The African author hints at a difference in the articulation and in the related acoustic effect in the velar pair, hence /o/ vs /o:/, of Late Latin. Terentianus says that the long phoneme /o:/ was characterised by the “intensification” of the sonus tragicus, but, albeit the acoustic referent of such phrase is out of question (a flat sound), the precise meaning is still an unsolved issue in the scientific literature. A new interpretation of a testimonium in Gellius’ Noctes Atticae (5, 7), together with relevant archaeological evidences, point out to an unexpected semantic value of sonus tragicus. The phrase indicates the typical timbre produced by the actors who wore tragic masks. The masks functioned as a sort of full face helmet for the actor and, thus, as proper filters, allowing the reinforcement of some bands of the laryngeal frequency, with an effect similar to that of lip protrusion. According to this new interpretation, the “sound pertaining to tragedy” was a sound made more powerful, grave and cavern-like: these, actually, are the typical features of a closed [o], which emerge also from the metalinguistic descriptions of other Roman grammarians
Aufsteigerzählung und Untersuchung des Einflusses abiotischer Faktoren auf die Laichwanderung der Seeforelle (Salmo trutta) in der Lütschine
No full textDie Seeforelle (Salmo trutta) ist eine in der Schweiz heimische Fischart, die im Laufe ihres Lebenszyklus zwischen verschiedenen Lebensräumen migriert. Für eine erfolgreiche Reproduktion muss sie vom See in die Zuflüsse aufsteigen können, wo sie sich auf kiesigem Untergrund fortpflanzt. In den vergangenen Jahren wurde in der Schweiz viel Grundlagenforschung zur Erhebung von Bestandsgrössen verschiedener Populationen betrieben. Welche Umweltparameter die Laichmigration der Seeforelle beeinflussen ist bisher wenig erforscht. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde dies zum ersten Mal in einem grösseren alpinen Fliessgewässer ohne Einfluss von Wasserkraft untersucht. Hierfür wurde in der Lütschine und der Weissen Lütschine im Berner Oberland an je einem Standort eine temporäre Monitoringanlage eingebaut, um mittels Unterwasserkamerasystem die Laichmigration der Seeforelle systematisch über die gesamte Laichzeit zu dokumentieren.
Der Erhebungszeitraum dauerte vom 09.09.2022 bis zum 24.02.2023 über 169 Tage und Nächte. Insgesamt konnten in diesem Zeitraum 89 Seeforellenbewegungen registriert werden. Die Populationsgrösse der Lütschine-Seeforelle zur Laichzeit 2022/23 wird aufgrund dieser Erhebung auf 60 - 120 Laichtiere geschätzt. Die Hauptlaichzeit lag zwischen Mitte Oktober und Ende November. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass neben dem Abfluss der Luftdruck und die Wassertemperatur den grössten Einfluss auf die Seeforellenmigration aufwiesen. Dies deckt sich mit den Erkenntnissen aus der Restwasserstrecke der Hasliaare im Berner Oberland. Weiter zeigte sich eindeutig, dass Seeforellen bevorzugt bei Dämmerung oder Dunkelheit wandern.The lake-run brown trout (Salmo trutta) is a native fish species in Switzerland that migrates between different habitats during its life cycle. For successful reproduction, it must be able to migrate from the lake to the tributaries, where it reproduces on gravelly substrate. In recent years, lots of basic research has been carried out in Switzerland to determine population sizes in various river systems. The influence of environmental parameters on the spawning migration have so far been barely researched. In the present study, this was investigated for the first time in an alpine stream, that is not influenced by hydropower. For this purpose, a temporary monitoring system was installed in the Lütschine and the Weisse Lütschine in the Bernese Highlands in order to systematically investigate the spawning migration of lake running brown trout over an entire spawning period using an underwater camera system.
The survey period of 169 days and nights lasted from 09.09.2022 to 24.02.2023. A total of 89 lake running brown trout movements were recorded in this period. The population size of lake-run brown trout in the Lütschine during the 2022/23 spawning season is estimated at 60 - 120 spawners based on this survey. The main spawning season is between mid-October and the end of November. It was found that, in addition to discharge, air pressure and water temperature have the greatest influence on the migration. This is consistent with the findings from the residual water section of the Hasliaare. Furthermore, 91 % of movements were recorded at dusk or in the dark, which clearly shows that this fish species prefers to migrate at night

Oriental enlightenment: the problematic military experiences and cultural claims of Count Maurice Auguste comte de Benyowsky in Formosa during 1771
No full textMaurice Benyowsky's colourful version of his global adventures during the heady, expansive days of the late-Enlightenment remains still as an historical account, and is perhaps destined for reification at a time of romantic, postmodernist cultural affirmation. Yet this paper argues that within it there lies a virile and possibly dangerous Orientalism, one at least partially based upon a lurid, opportunistic and self-seeking fabrication of his visit to Taiwan (Formosa) in the year 1771. This paper examines the veracity, provenance and historiography of the Benyowsky account of late-eighteenth century Formosa, both as an exercise in one facet of Taiwanese history and as some exploration of the origin and maintenance of European views of the "other" and of the "orient" as they were transforming during the late-Enlightenment period. Furthermore a principal task is to provide an historiographical analysis that illustrates both the initial reasons for the acceptance of Benyowsky's lurid account as well as the wider contexts of its long life as a seemingly reliable and authentic tale. Questions remain as to the cultural contexts of any general acceptance of otherwise doubtful stories, experiments, claims and "adventures". Here there is little doubt that the original Memoirs were given greater credence by Benyowsky's talent in self-fashioning his character and status as those of a reliable gentleman
Controlling the Point of Emergence: Safety control interventions to curb digital cages in social welfare
No full textThe thesis explores the complexities and risks associated with Automated Decision-Making (ADM) systems in social welfare, focusing on the phenomenon of ”digital cages.” The digital cage concept refers to a situation where rigid systems, perpetuated through algorithmic misclassification, inadvertently trap citizens in bureaucratic complications without recourse. This thesis analyzes the digital cages concept from a system safety perspective, on the example of the Dutch Toeslagenaffair. The thesis centers on understanding how digital cages form within social welfare systems and seeks methods to mitigate their emergence through targeted interventions using system safety theory. The pivotal question addressed is: ”What are safety control interventions to curb the emergence of algorithmic decision-making systems-induced digital cages in the context of national social welfare administration in the Netherlands?” The research concludes by highlighting the potential of assumption-based leading indicators. Assumptionbased leading indicators are predictive measures that rely on underlying assumptions about how certain inputs or actions correlate with future outcomes. The leading indicators provide a novel approach to enhancing system safety in social welfare administration by addressing the underlying assumptions of the system in operation. This offers a substantial potential to transform how social welfare systems manage and utilize ADM, potentially reducing the incidence of digital cages. By detecting early signs of hazardous systems states digital cages can be mitigated before they solidify into systemic issues. The thesis not only addresses the immediate concerns regarding digital cages but also opens pathways for future inquiries into safer and more equitable administrative practices. Future research is suggested to further refine these indicators and explore their applicability in diverse administrative contexts, ensuring they can effectively adapt to the evolving landscape of public administration and technology.Complex Systems Engineering and Management (CoSEM
Traduire. Le deuil de l’original
No full textLa période de rénovation théorique qui a vu l’apparition de la sociocritique n’a pas connu le même élan en traduction, malgré Walter Benjamin ou Georges Mounin. Mais la poétique d’Henri Meschonnic et la sociocritique, entre autres, ont travaillé contre l’effacement et l’annexion qui restent les caractéristiques d’un monde qui synthétise ses pratiques sous le nom de traductologie. Elles affirment avec force qu’un texte étranger est toujours (et seulement) un texte traduit. La sociocritique, qui demande aux traducteurs de définir ce qu’ils traduisent, affirme que c’est la socialité du texte. Et pour ce faire, il n’y a qu’un moyen : faire dans sa langue-littérature ce que l’auteur a fait à la sienne. Pour cela, il est nécessaire d’établir une méthodologie qui interdira tout effacement, même masqué par une conception de la traduction qui promeut la fluidité. Il est donc proposé, dans le sillage de Jean Peytard, de viser à l’altération. Altérer son propre discours en acceptant celui de l’autre, c’est altérer son propre discours en lui faisant subir les marques de ce dialogue.Sociocriticism appeared during a period of theoretical renewal which, despite the work of a Walter Benjamin or a Georges Mounin, found no equivalent in translation studies. Be that as it may, the poetics of Henri Meschonnic and sociocriticism have worked against the erasure and annexation which remain the characteristics of a field that synthesizes its practices under the name of translatology. They make the strong claim that a foreign text is always (and only) a translated text. Sociocriticism, which asks translators to define what they translate, claims that it is the text’s sociality. And so the only way forward is to do in the translator’s language/literature what the original author has done in his own. To that end, it is necessary to establish a methodology that will avoid any erasure, even when this is masked under an approach to translation which favours fluidity. Following Jean Peytard, the suggestion is to aim for alteration. To alter one’s own discourse, while accepting that of the other, is to alter one’s own by registering the marks of the dialogue between languages
The eight vestments of the Jewish High Priest and the garments of Christian ministers in the writings of Rabanus Maurus and Walahfrid Strabo
No full textThe following study is concerned with Medieval interpretations of liturgical vestments of Christian clergy and their relation to ceremonial garments of the Jewish High Priest. Attempts to find a link between vestments of the Old Testament and those of Christian ministry date back to 4th and 5th century. Still, the Carolingian theologian RabanusMaurus (780–856) was the first author to firmly suggest a direct correspondence betweenthe eight vestments of the Jewish High Priest and the garments used by Christian ministers.The article proves that the idea of “the eight vestments”, as presented by Ranabus Maurus, was invented as a concept that was strictly theological and was not meant to be read as a historical study. References to ancient Jewish robes were not considered to serve as an aid in reconstructing the origin of liturgical vestments, but were approached as a hermeneutic tool that would help to explain the relation between worship within the Old and the New Covenant. As a result of this idea, additional symbolic significance was ascribed to particular vestments and insignia, even though it was well known that their actual origins and figurative meaning were different. The idea of “the eight vestments” appears to be a typical example of Medieval typology. As such, it seems to be one of the numerous aspects of biblical theological intuition, which states that Christian priesthood is both a continuation and a recapitulation of the Old Testament hierarchy, focused around Christ as the High Priest of “the New and Everlasting Covenant”, as shown in the Epistole to the Hebrews
