Augusto e la politica limitanea in Africa: Cosso Cornelio Lentulo e il bellum Gaetulicum
2018
The present paper aims at analyzing the unrest of the tribes located in the south of the province of Africa and of the reign of Mauretania, that escaped Roman authority. In particular, the research dwells on the hostilities undertaken by the Gaetulians under the principate of Augustus, such as to determine the intervention of the proconsul of Africa Cossus Cornelius Lentulus, given the magnitude of the bellum and in view of the fact that the king of Mauretania Juba II was unable to quell the con+ict. Through the analysis of the sources (Florus, Cassius Dio, Orosius) we set ourselves the task of rebuilding the background, the phases of the war and the casus belli. The analysis stated the sig…
Young Scottish National Party (SNP) Members’ National Identity and Party Membership
2021
Scotland’s future in the United Kingdom seems to be uncertain. Even though a majority of Scottish people voted to remain in the UK in 2014, the EU referendum two years later fuelled the independence movement in Scotland. Scholars show that the Scottish independence referendum encouraged people to join political parties, particularly the Scottish National Party. This work focuses on young people. Party membership scholars agree that they are underrepresented in parties. Given that the SNP seem to be rather successful in appealing to young people, this thesis explores SNP youth membership and the reasons why young Scots make the decision to join the party. It shows that Scottish independence …

An energy residual-based approach to gradient effects within the mechanics of generalized continua
2012
AbstractGeneralized continua exhibiting gradient effects are addressed through a method grounded on the energy residual (ER)-based gradient theory by the first author and coworkers. A main tool of this theory is the Clausius-Duhem inequality cast in a form differing from the classical one only by a nonstandard extra term, the (nonlocality) ER, required to satisfy the insulation condition (its global value has to vanish or to take a known value). The ER carries in the nonlocality features of the mechanical problem through a strain-like rate field, being the specific nonlocality source, and a concomitant higher-order long-range stress (or microstress) field. The thermodynamic restrictions on …
Du comté d'Argyle au royaume de Saba : Nodier et l'Écosse des origines
2011
Autre compte rendu d'Hélène Védrine (revue Romantisme) : "L’article de Sébastien Vacelet continue cette réflexion sur l’écriture viatique et son rapport à l’espace, en s’intéressant à la trilogie écossaise de Nodier : Promenade de Dieppe aux montagnes d’Écosse, Trilby et La Fée aux miettes. Cet article extrêmement renseigné – Sébastien Vacelet est l’auteur d’une thèse sur l’Écosse des romantiques dirigée par Georges Zaragoza et a organisé à Dijon une récente journée d’études sur le même thème qui fera l’objet du volume 3 des Cahiers d’études nodiéristes – montre comment les connaissances historiques et livresques de Nodier sur l’Écosse servent à bâtir une fiction des origines qui gomme les …
Sur la francisation d’un toponyme écossais : l’« Argail » de Charles Nodier
2011
International audience; This study opposes, on the one hand, the concept exposed by linguist and theoretician Charles Nodier (1780-1844) in his Elementary Notions in Linguistics (1834) referring to the inalterable spelling of proper nouns, and, on the other hand, his practice as a storyteller and creator in his Trilby (1822). We will also consider answering the question of the gallicization of the toponym "Argyle" (allusion to the lake region in Scotland), spelled "Argail" by Nodier in his tale, contrary to all expectations. "Argail" , beyond the mere process of transliteration and trompe-l’oeil justifications revealed by Nodier himself in the preface of his book, opens up to subtle manipul…
Intercultural integration in the university context of Cuba: psychosocial intervention program for its promotion
2022
La subjetividad es un factor mediador de la producción y reproducción de la contradicción integración - exclusión en el contacto intercultural. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo proponer un programa de intervención psicosocial, para la promoción de la integración intercultural en la Universidad Central "Marta Abreu" de Las Villas, desde un enfoque histórico-cultural de las mediaciones por la subjetividad. La investigación se adscribió al modelo de investigación interventiva y a un enfoque cualitativo constructivo interpretativo. En este marco, se realizó una sistematización de experiencias y se propuso un programa de intervención psicosocial. El programa para la promoción de la integra…
Problematics of Bonds in Hugh MacDiarmid's Poetry
2012
Hugh MacDiarmid is considered the most important Scottish poet of the 20th century. He is mostly celebrated for the Scots lyrics he wrote in the 1920s and his long poem A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle, published in 1926. Because of their fragmentation, the poems of the Thirties, most of which were part of the unpublished project Mature Art, and In Memoriam James Joyce (1955), have not attracted the same critical attention. However, they represent the culmination of a very complex stylistic crisis that this study offers to analyse thanks to the question of bonds, especially problematic bonds. The poetry portrays humanity torn by social division, treason and death, but it deals with loss too…

Cloaking In-Plane Elastic Waves with Swiss Rolls
2020
We propose a design of cylindrical cloak for coupled in-plane shear waves consisting of concentric layers of sub-wavelength resonant stress-free inclusions shaped as Swiss rolls. The scaling factor between inclusions&rsquo
