What do African Citizens of Different Income Levels think of Chinese Investment? 2015-2019 A study of three countries in Africa
No full textThis study focused on determining the relationship between occupation, education and perception on Chinese investment in Kenya, Senegal and Nigeria.
It used a combination of qualitative and quantitative research to determine conclusions. The qualitative research focused on interviews and personal one on one interactions with Africans. The author used publicly available Afrobarometer data for the quantitative study.
The results of the study indicate that there is a correlation between occupation and perception on Chinese influence for all three countries. However, there was no conclusive evidence that there was correlation between education and perception of Chinese influence.

The text of the gospels in the works of Gregory of Nazianus
No full textCitation of the New Testament by the Church Fathers is a valuable resource in reconstructing the early history of its text, for the time and place each was writing is
known. The Society for Biblical Literature has undertaken a series of studies of the Fathers who wrote in Greek in order to make available this resource and to examine in
detail what light it sheds on textual development. Among these, the fourth-century Cappadocian father Gregory of Nazianzus was a prolific writer whose work is largely
extant; he made extensive and virtuoso use of Scripture in his orations, poetry and other writings.
In this study, Gregory's life and works are outlined; the use he makes of NT citation is described and evaluated from a text-critical perspective; the particular difficulties this entails are discussed; and the sources and method used to identify citation laid out in chapters One to Three.
This study aims to retrieve all his references to the Gospels, to match them to their NT source where this can be determined, and to present them with critical apparatus as
either citations, adaptations or allusions. Chapters Four to Seven list these references to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. An evaluation of their contribution to our understanding of NT textual development completes the study.
Earlier work in the series has attempted to locate the text used by individual Fathers within the main strands of textual tradition by calculating proportional agreement with a carefully selected representative number of manuscripts. These attempts have had mixed results; in this study the small number of uniquely-derived verbatim citations in Gregory's work, the insurmountable difficulties of transmission and definition, and the
great loss of material if rigorous criteria for inclusion are applied, justify the omission of this analysis. Instead a more qualitative approach has sought to do justice to the special strengths of Gregory as a witness to the Gospel textual tradition
“Insights in Contemporary Franco-America in Rhea Côté-Robins and Gregoire Chabot: Reevaluating Memory, Identity and Place"
No full textInternational audienceDr. Peggy Pacini’s paper “Insights into Contemporary Franco-America in Rhéa Côté-Robbins and Gregoire Chabot: Reevaluating Memory, Identity and Place” extends the discussion of Franco-American identity-formation and the role of a specific place (Maine) in this act by examining the paratexts of two contemporary Franco-American writers from Maine, Rhea Côté-Robbins and Gregoire Chabot. Pacini explores how each author has tried to create “a newer and more appropriate” identity, neither Franco nor American, but Franco-American from Maine. While it may be true that Côté-Robbins and Chabot have, through their writing, found their unique voices and a way to tell their unique stories, their works always start from memory, collective and personal, deeply rooted in place and time either to achieve piecing together a fragmented identity for the former, or interrogating it for the latter
Sacrifice in the Eucharist in the texts of the fathers from the New Testament to the council of Chalcedon
No full textThis thesis examines the evidence for the notion of Eucharistic Sacrifice which is found in the original texts of all the principal Fathers and ecclesiastical authors of the Early Church. The period covered is from the time of the writing of the New Testament to the Council of Chalcedon in 451 A.D. Each of the principal Fathers is examined in historical order, as far as this is possible, except when there is another link between them such as their city of origin. Apart from a few exceptions, the texts are presented in their Greek or Latin original in the footnotes, but an English translation is supplied for every case in the main text of the thesis. The aim of the thesis is not to provide an exhaustive analysis of the above data, but to present them in an orderly way and to make initial exploratory comments on the texts themselves and of the work of various scholars. The final conclusion resulting from this exercise is that, although there is indisputable evidence that the notion of Eucharistic sacrifice was widely upheld by Patristic authors, its actual content varied from author to author and presents a richness which it is not easy to classify
Seventeenth-century indivisibles revisited
No full textThe tremendous success of indivisibles methods in geometry in the seventeenth century, responds to a vast project: installation of infinity in mathematics. The pathways by the authors are very diverse, as are the characterizations of indivisibles, but there are significant factors of unity between the various doctrines of indivisible; the permanence of the language used by all authors is the strongest sign. These efforts do not lead to the stabilization of a mathematical theory (with principles or axioms, theorems respecting these first statements, followed by applications to a set of geometric situations), one must nevertheless admire the magnitude of the results obtained by these methods and highlights the rich relationships between them and integral calculus. The present book aims to be exhaustive since it analyzes the works of all major inventors of methods of indivisibles during the seventeenth century, from Kepler to Leibniz. It takes into account the rich existing literature usually devoted to a single author. This book results from the joint work of a team of specialists able to browse through this entire important episode in the history of mathematics and to comment it. The list of authors involved in indivisibles´ field is probably sufficient to realize the richness of this attempt; one meets Kepler, Cavalieri, Galileo, Torricelli, Gregoire de Saint Vincent, Descartes, Roberval, Pascal, Tacquet, Lalouvère, Guldin, Barrow, Mengoli, Wallis, Leibniz, Newton

« Mr le comte de Rasoumowski hetman de l'Ukraine comme président de l'académie », la rencontre avec Charles de Saxe-Pologne
No full textL'histoire des hetmans d'Ukraine n'est pas très bien connue actuellement en France. Au XVIIIe siècle, l'importance de leur position était pourtant remarqué par les puissances étrangères. Gregoire Orlyck avait trouvé refuge en France après la destruction du camps "mazepiste" en Russie. L'empire russe, après une période de domination du parti "allemand" se tourne vers 1750 auprès de la France et de la Saxe-Pologne pour contrer l'influence de l'Angleterre et de la Prusse. C'est dans ce cadre qu..
